He was outside for a while and he thought he heard Evangeline's voice so he quietly walked back inside, making sure the door was shut tight. "Is everything alright?" He questioned her, turning up the light some. He was glad to be away from that horribly air. It still smelled of something foul and he couldn't quite place it. Whatever it was that was after her was bad. He would have to figure out eventually what was going on but he could tell she was in no shape to tell stories as of now. "Is there something that hurts?" Anubis than asked, wanting to make sure he hadn't missed some wound.

She placed a hand to her chest and her eyes slowly adjusted to the new light and looked at Anubis "Oh no. I'm ok, just thought I heard something" she said and looked at him, she wondered what he was doing outside. "Is there something outside, their not coming are they" she asked in a soft tone but with still a little panic to it. She looked around a little bit thinking that something was going to jump out at her.

"It was probably just me outside you heard or the creaking of the wind but no I have had no sight of anything outside. Just the faint smell of tainted air lingers." He said, hopefully that would make her feel better, he could tell that she was a little bit panicked so he sighed some and knelt down in front of her. "Would you care to tell me what is after you so that I can possibly help?" Anubis then questioned, his face looking eerie in the shadowed light. Eyes glinting in the soft light, they showed that he was earnest and wasn't going to just hand her over at the first sign of danger. He had taken her in so he wasn't going to see her out with something that would harm her. "You don't have to give me details, just what I need to look out for please." That was the first time he had used the word please, in his book that should get him an answer for even using it, also his tone was soft and he didn't have the rough look on his face from earlier.

Evangeline looked at Anubis, her eyes softened a bit and calmed down. She was pleased when he knelt beside the bed though when he asked about what was coming after her that made her heart race a little more. She had to think about the last ten years, she had to relay to him what these creatures where and hoped that he knew them. Though she hadn't spent much time in society, she wondered if people even knew about these creatures. "Well..." she started and took a deep breath. "The devils" she said knowing that it wasn't enough to just say that.
"These creatures are ruthless, evil and torturous. They took me from my home, forced me to work, beat me barely fed me. I've been their prisoner for ten years. I never thought that I would get away. You can't let them get me again. I'll die" She said in one full breath and then took a deep breath trying to calm down some. Memories flooded her head as she recalled the last ten years.

"I won't let them get you." He said softly, digesting what she had just said. She seemed scared and being somewhat socially awkward he didn't know what to do so he gave her a hug. "I promise." He then whispered and let her go, his shirt was still off so he didn't want to freak her out plus he felt kind odd just giving her a hug in the first place. He didn't know why he was being so nice to her. It was probably because he was haunted by his own demon. IT would have let her die, believing that it shouldn't interfere with life and death. That took it's own course and should not be messed with. Taking a deep breath Anubis look her in the eyes, his own dark ones seeming like a pool of black water. "Do you want me to warm up some milk or something to help you sleep? I mean I don't know how to comfort people much." He said kind of awkwardly.

She froze on the spot in the bed when he hugged her, she didn't know what to do or say. Someone was hugging her, it felt weird. She knew people did that for comfort but it had been a decade since someone showed her kindness. "Um..thank you" she patted his arm and was glad when he pulled away "No I'm ok, I probably won't be able to sleep anymore. This was the most sleep I've gotten. I usually was only allowed about ten or so minutes to sleep before" she said and then clamped her hand over her mouth "You probably don't want to hear anymore....sorry" she said and dropped her hand into her lap. She kept her mouth shut after that and just looked around. She didn't know what to do, she got rest, got food and this guy was being so nice to her. "Is there anything I can do for you? You have been just so nice to me and I feel like I'm doing anything"

"It's fine if you want to talk about it if it makes you feel better." He commented and stood, adjusting the light to make it better to see even more. It would be dawn soon and he needed to go to the river and catch some fish. He had been planing to take a bath but with her here now he wasn't so sure. "And if it makes you feel any better I don't sleep very often myself. I have bad dreams." He shrugged his shoulders nonchalant like and made got himself a cup of water.
"You won't be doing much until you are healed. I don't want you getting worse." Anubis was serious about that. He wouldn't want to have to take care of her for longer than necessary. It wasn't that he didn't care but he didn't even know what he was going to do with her when she got better. She might have family he could give her too but they might not take her if they believed in being tainted by devils. He believed her and thought she was fine but others might not. He didn't know.

She thought about it, she had never talked with someone this much and he didn't mind her talking about her time as a prisoner. That was something knew but she wasn't sure what was going to happen if she told him the whole story. "It's a pretty long story and you probably wouldn't believe most of it" she said and adjusted on the bed of furs as she watched him get some water. She nodded her head understanding the fact of not sleeping. "Oh and about healing that's something to that too which goes along with the very long story but to be short it won't take long. Most of the major wounds are gone since I was able to get some rest" she said and pulled down the shirt just enough so that he could see the wound above her heart was practically gone.

"Trust me. I will believe more than you probably think." He commented while thinking that he knew of things that she didn't that she may or may not believe as well. "Plus we have time and if you don't mind talking I wouldn't mind listening." He got her a glass of water now just in case and sat down to the side of Evangeline though facing towards her. He set the glass down next to her and took a sip of his own.
After seeing the wound healed he nodded his head. So she had something special about her. He did as well, maybe she would believe him if he told her but then again some called him a demon so it might not be a good idea if he told her. Anubis didn't know how Evangeline would react to his 'dirty little secret', the reason he had secluded himself away. "Well I'm glad your feeling better I guess?"

She was thankful for the water, it would come in handy after her long story "alright then" she said and shifted the blanket a little bit getting comfortable even more. "Alright so I use to live in this nice play called Gomera, my family ruled over this town. Royalty if you will but we didn't consider ourselves royalty. In our family twins are born...only twins but some of my brothers and sisters have lost there twins" she took a deep breath picking up the glass of water "Now mind you we don't know why but in our family there are these abilities and for years I figure that's why the devils took me. Cause I was the only one that inherited these abilities. The devils beat me harder then anyone else that they took, they knew I could take it. They worked me hard, used me to lure people as well. It was this dark, very hot place. We didn't get much. Just bad food and cramped area. They're tricksters, they get what they want and if not they take it. Not many people believe they exist but they do" she took a sip of the water. Her hands were now shaking just remembering the place. All the dirty smells, and rotting bodies around her. She scrunched her nose almost as if she could still smell it. "I haven't seen or heard from my family in ten years. I'm sure they have stopped looking for me by now and I can't possibly go back, they would never take me back now" she said a sadness growing in her heart.

"That sounds horrible." He said when she was through. "I'm sorry you had to go through it and also about your family." He was now troubled by the fact that he should build an addition on to this small place. they both couldn't live in this tiny shed and he wasn't going to kick her out the moment she was perfectly fine. "Their tricks shouldn't work on me though so don't worry about it."He then added with a light chuckle and a smile to cheer her up. They might but he figured he could handle it if he tried.
"When you feel up to it you're going to help me build an addition to this place. I don't think you want to be living in this tiny place with me and have no where to yourself." He offered her to live here for a while because he wouldn't mind have company himself, though he wasn't sure how safe that would be for her. He may decide to go home at some point and he didn't think she'd like it there.

The situation looked pretty bad but somehow she didn't let it bring her down. All she had left was the little good in her life, she had gotten away and that gave her life back. "Thank you...but I don't want to intrude on your home. I was just going to wander I guess" but she saw what he was trying to do for her and it made her feel good. "I'm honored though that you will do that for me Anubis" she said taking another sip of the water.

"Well I can't just let you wander around. It isn't a very nice thing to be lonely." He commented, giving the hint that he wouldn't mind some company. The sun had started to rise by now, Anubis could feel it. His cheeks flushed slightly, though it would be hard to tell do to his skin color, and he smirked some. "I just thought I would try to be of some help. Now are you any good at fishing?" He questioned and stood up , stretching and than putting a new shirt on. He grabbed a fishing pole and a spear and turned to Evangeline. "I need to catch something for dinner. The food I made last night will only last till lunch. What say you?" He seemed to be somewhat chipper but that was because he actually enjoyed fishing. The running water had something to do with it though.

She had already started to get up off the bed when he started talking about going out fishing "I can try" she said getting to her feet. She fixed the large shirt on her and almost fell over. She hadn't realized that her feet hadn't healed yet. She took a deep breath and put on a smile for Anubis "Do you like fishing?" She asked to get his mind on something just in case he tried to make her sit down or even stay here. She didn't want to be left alone even, not now since she had met someone who was so nice to her.

"I enjoy it very much. It can be relaxing and fun at the same time." He said and noticed her stumble. He remembered her feet and a scowl formed on his face before disappearing to it's normal neutral state. Practically shoving the fishing pole and spear into her hands, Anubis grabbed her and picked her up bridal style. "I'm not going to let you hurt yourself further but I don't think it's good to leave you alone." Anubis than commented, hoping she wouldn't protest much. He also realized that he should get her some clothes that suited her. They would have to catch a lot of fish to sell than and he smirked, knowing he would have to tell her eventually about the amount of fish but he figured it could wait till they were at the stream. It was full of many different kind and if he finally managed to catch the big one he'd been seeing for months. They could buy her a whole new wardrobe.
