   The hair on the back of Cara's neck stood on end, although she couldn't tell if it was because of the man's statement, or Luke's sudden appearance. Whichever, she was nervous. "I'm gonna go outside and check a few things," she murmured. "I'll be back shortly." As she left, she frowned. She had heard of the Bloodrunes, and she didn't like this at all. But there wasn't anything she could do about it, except scout around a little. Tomorrow, or the next night maybe, she could do a little more.

   Luke's ears perked at Bloodrunes, so that what his employer was doing possibly...
   
   Luke knelt over the injured man, "Step awy, m'lady and its just Luke. I'm not much of a Lord." Luke placed his hands over the wound, a light shined beneath his palms. The arrowhead sizzled for a second then vanished there was a flash of white light and the wound closed up. Muscle and sinew grew together and blood flowed into the re growing flesh. Luke muttered a word or two and a drop of sweat beaded off his forhead. The wound closed up and skin appeared. Then it was done.
   
   "There better than new." Luke murmmered, the use of healing skillz took alot out of him because most of his powers were based on evil, this was the only power of light he possoesed, it came from his past. One that he did not like remembering.
   
   "Water please." Luke said. His throat burned and his stomach growled loud, if he hadn't taken that energy earlier he probaly be dead. "Maybe I could get a nip to eat to, healing takes alot out of me."

   ::Bell runs to the kitchen quickly getting two bowls of warm soup and two glasses of water. She hands some to Luke and some to Armand. She quietly looks down at Armand and frowns.::
   "So...what are we going to do with you?"
   ::Armand grins some.::
   ::Bell frustrated and annoyed she looks down at him and says::
   "You know this isnt funny..and you know why. Now tell me of what news."
   Armand tells the story of how the bloodrunes stormed the city looking for the ruby. How they were in a serch for it but no one would talk. So they killed off all.

   Luke had ate all of the soup up and emptied the flaggon of water in one gulp. He sat back on the couch he was completely exhausted he heard a little of what the strange man and Bell were saying but didnt really care. He wondered what made him want to expend that much energy on a human anyways. The talk of Bloodrunes had perked his interest, those thing were plain stupid savages from what he heard but he'd seen what they could do first hand a couple times, nothing pretty that was for sure.
   
   Luke waezed a little then let his head slip back and slipped into a dreamless sleep...

   Cara finally satisfied herself that the strange man hadn't brought any unwelcome guests. So they were safe for the moment. But it wasn't likely to last. She wandered back inside, noticing that Bell and the stranger were talking, and it appeared that Luke had fallen asleep at one of the tables. She sat down again and finished her meal, then said good night to Bell and went to her room. The new moon was definitely going to be the next night, so she'd need as much sleep as possibe.

   ::Bell seeing Luke sleeping sighs. She goes to him and places a warm blanket on him. Bell grabs a key from her key chain and give Armand the key to Room #4. She tells him its upstairs.::
   ::Armand stands and goes to his room closing the door behind him and slipping into bed.::
   ::Bell stays up and sits at the bar with a bottle of rye. Though tired she stays up thinking about the past. Thinking about the Ruby. She pulls it out from her shirt and takes it from around hre neck looking at it. She frowns. She goes to Wolf and ties the Ruby around his neck. Hidden by his fur the Ruby was safe for now. She goes to her room taking Wolf with her. She slips into bed with her door open slightly Wolf sleeping in front of the door Bell slips in a dream world of nightmares. She screams and fights in her sleep.::

   Luke slept throught the night and awoke early next morning, it was still before sun up, it didn't sound like anyone else was awak to he planeshifted to a short ways away outside. He hunted around for a little while but he couldn't find anyone or anything worth to drain somepower from. He would just have to wait a little while for it to build back up.
   
   Luke walked back to the house and plane shifted through the door. No one was awake, so he went into the back and grabbed an orange and peeled it. He munched on it thoughtfuly, he had had a long life even by demon standards he had been walking the underworld and this world for almost a millenia. His body looked only about late twenties though, thoughts of reitirement crept into his mind. Being a mercenary of sorts he had aquired a large amount of wealth. But he speculated about the Bloodrunes they sure were desperate to get a hold of this fellow, he could smell blood rune all over him where ha came from there must have been tons of them. His thoughts wandered till he thought he heard footsteps upstairs, he grabbed a pot of tea and but it over the fire.

    ::Bell comes down stairs with bags under her highs. Her hair down up neatly. She sees that Luke is up. She smiles seeing he helped himself. ::
    "Good morning Luke."
    ::Bell rubs her highs and walks over to the bar. The nightmares of the night before lingered in her mind, she couldnt shake them off. Wolf looks up at her before she grabs the bottle of rye and pours herself a shot to calm her nerves. She quietly hopes that Armand wouldnt be up for a couple more hours.::
    "Did you have a good nights sleep?"
    ::Bell turns towards him and takes the shot before he could reply.::

    IC: Luke nodded, "Aye, it was like any other sleep."

    'Cara woke up later in the morning than she usually did. She had meant to sleep later, but she just couldn't make herself do that. Plus, she had things to do. She gathered a set of clothes and carefully wrapped them in her cloak. It was possible that she'd get locked out tonight, and experience had taught her the hard way to prepare for that eventuality. She took the bundle outside, greeting Bell and Luke as she passes through the common room. She found a place outside where she could stash it without it being disturbed. That done, she came back inside, looking for breakfast.

    ::Prepares breakfeast quickly for her guests. Bacon, Egg, and home fries. She almost chokes on the smell of food and knows that soon everyone would be awake. Bell knowing that some may be still tired puts on a pot of coffee. She wiggles her nose as she carries out the food. ::
    ::Just then Armand walks down the stairs stretching with a big grin on his face, he walks over to Luke.::
    "So buddy, how about the ladies last night get any?"
    ::Armand vulgur at his best makes Bell wince. She needed to get him out of here and quickly.::
    "So Armand, what are in your plans?"
    :She waits::
    OCC: This story can go two ways Im trying to decide which way.

    Luke grinned, "Aye it was your mother." Luke smiled while he said letting Armand know to not take the jest to heart. "But I will say that was a nasty wound you had there last night, you know I'm that really good at healing, whatever messed you up last night had alot of evil power in it to drain my healing abilities in it, and by the looks of you when you showed up I would suggest no one go outside without another person withthem." Luke's statement shattered the pleasant morning and he started getting down to business. Something new than the day before was a long sharp black sword in a scabbard belted around his waist, the handle was casted of a black steel to but with silver lining and black leather bnad wrapped around the handle on the hilt was a smalled opaque diamond wrapped in silver.
    
    Luke sipped the coffee slowly waiting for a response.
