"Well that explains a few things then I knew animals in the wild marked their territory but I never thought to leave some blood behind" Seeing him more relaxed as well she keeps looking at the necklace he wears wondering about it but decides as late as it is she should let him go. She could tell he was thinking of something else he needed to take care of and remembered that he said he had a letter to deliver.
"Well then I'll stay, thank you." she smiled warmly at him glad for once to have made a friend she could feel at ease with.
"Is there anything I need to know about this house or area before you leave Valentine?" she asked. Another day she would have to ask him more. "That sword you carry, has it been dangerous for you lately as well? I think this is the first night I will be able to sleep without having to listen for danger with a gun at my side"

Shakes head and looks at night wind"no i wear it out as a habit mainly i havent even
used this blade in a while since i have no use for fighting now in days, just trying to
find my memories iv'e lost just a few years ago..i have no memory what so ever of my
past. All i know is what has happen to me since 2 years ago"notices she looks at his
necklace he smiles."That would also explain my fiddling with my necklace it holds some
secret and fiddling with my necklace has been a habit to it seems."
He thinks about anything else he may have forgotten to say about this house and then
walks out of the room and looks around then spots the hidden door on the celling"yeah, almost forgot if you have to hide anything or for any reason there is a hidden room that
will hide any scent if need be"he walks back into the room and picks up his jacket putting
it over his left arm."i think that about covers the house details i believe and you may
never need a gun to protect you if you are here. I protect my friends and you are now
one of them so you have no worries"
He then walks over to her and gives her his jacket."You may need this as well, till i get
some bedding for you in the house"He smiles kindly at her.

Night takes a quick glance at the ceiling high over head. There fitted into the woodwork is a slightly visible opening with a knot of wood that looks just a bit different from the rest of the knotty pine. "It would seem you've though of every thing."
She took the jacket from him gratefully knowing she could use it for warmth. She would let herself sleep soundly for once with no worries. Smiling she headed to the door to the room. "Its good to know I have a friend like you Valentine. Having memories lost to you can be a good thing sometimes...though not always." she wouldnt go into more detail. Not now. Instead she lifted the jacket in her hands to lay with her coat on the chair in the room. She would do more exploring of her new home in the early dawn when she woke. For now she needed to get a drink of water from the bottle in her pack then check her camera to be sure the film was ok.
As she stepped into the hallway she turned to Valentine with a half smile. "Who know's maybe i'll be able to help you unlock some of your memory. "

smiles at her and nods"well i do need to be sure that if i have to hide something i can
do it without someone knowing. And i believe you may be right about my memories but
who knows you maybe able to help me get my memory back in time"he walks out of the
room and begins to head down the stairs.
"I'm glad to have a new friend like you to, night wind"He waves to her as he walks down
the stairs to go home and rest. He then blinks forgetting that he had left his chest that had a lock he could never unlock in the basement. Thinking about it at the door he decides to let her rest and he still wonders where that key is as it may hold his family's photos or something even better maybe.
for the night and he would come back in the morning to get it.
Valentine calls up to night wind"if you need anything im just next door okay"

Night watches him leave then heads to the master bedroom for her pack. "Alright Valentine I'll yell if I need anything before morning."
Taking a moment to search through her pack for any clean clothes in it she shrugs having used the last outfit for her interview with the publisher. Needing a shower anyway she heads to the smaller door she saw in the hallway that led to a bathroom. As she opened the door to flip on the light switch she caught a hint of an odd odor. Not bad but unusual. Figuring it must be from the last one who stayed there she thought nothing of it. She closed the door and turned on the taps. Expecting rust colored water from not being used much she was quite relived to find it ran clear and hot too. Night quickly took a shower getting her long hair washed as well then dried off before leaving the bathroom to search the closet for some old clothes to wear. Nothing abnormal greeted her on opening the door to the closet, just ..that odd smell again. She rummaged around amidst the hanging clothes then found a pair of pants a size too large and an over-size sweat shirt to pull on over a worn out tshirt. Once she was dressed and warmer she brushed her hair as it dried while walking down the hall to see what the other rooms had in their closets and dressers. It would be her luck to find she was sharing her new house with mice or rats.
After puting her hair in a loose braid she headed down the stairs to be sure the lights were all off then looked at the books in the large bookcase. Finding one on wolves she took it with her back upstairs to read for a while in the master bed til she fell asleep.

Heads to his home and yawns a bit watching his surroundings. His head begins to hurt
some as he gets in his house and he leans on the door his heart pounding fast as a
ringing noise runs through his head. He holds his head and takes a slow steady breath
to calm down.
"calm down...calm down..."he says this quietly to him self as the ringing slowly stops and
he looks up. His mind seems to be very confused as his mind feels scrambled with the
noise that ran through it just moments ago. A fogged memory comes to him again and
he sees a blur that is singing to a young boy smiling. The smile seems so familier to him it bothers him a little.
Valentine walks up the stairs to his master bed room and falls onto his bed feeling very
tired but more so sore all over. He had hide the fact that he was hurt, he didnt want to
make night wind his new friend worry already. He sits up on his bed and pulls off his
shirt to show small cuts on his chest. He sighs and pulls the covers away so he can slide under his covers and pulls them over him self dozing off to the sweet night air blowing
into his room from an open window.

Night woke with the coming of dark. Her body stretched in relaxed luxury. She had forgotten how good it felt to sleep in a real bed and not on the hard ground. Forcing herself to get out of the warm bed she walked over the carpet to the hallway then down the hall to the bathroom. There it was again. That smell. What was it? Wishing she had her gun she almost went back for it but remembered Valentine had said she was safe there. Moving into the bathroom she took care of things quickly as she brushed her teeth and prepared for the night. Walking slowly down the hall to collect her pack she pulled the fire arms magazine from it to read as she drank some cocoa.
She took the steps lightly with the periodical in her hand then headed to the kitchen hoping maybe there was something in the cupboards that was still in good shape to use for heating water for her drink. Finding a pan she set it on the stove then reached up into the cupboard for a can of cocoa mix she had noticed unopened. then started to mix it up.
Once more that odd smell, like animal but only the two legged kind. Not lycan but...something more filled the kitchen and she dropped the cup to the floor.

Wakes up from a night mare and sits up yawning and stretching as he looks out side.
He seems to have slept till the night fall again. He gets up and heads to his bathroom to
get ready for the nights events. He brushes his teeth and brushes his hair, He then gets dressed in a black button up shirt and a pair of jeans with cuts on the knee parts of the
jeans.
Walks out of his bed room and goes into his hall way closet to get some fresh bedding for night wind, then looks around for the key to the basement so he can get his chest out of
the house so it can be all night winds as she is going to live there. He walks out of his house and goes next door and knocks on her door.
"i hold she isn't sleeping still.."he says this quietly to him self and yawns a bit still tired.

Hot cocoa splashed everywhere along the floor as the cup hit the tile and rocked back and forth in the aftermath. Night spun around quickly sure that the bearer of that scent still stood within those very walls of her new house. It wasnt a faded old smell either, this time it was new, recent and she knew with a certainty that chilled her that wherever it came from she would soon find out. Willing or unwillingly she had to stay calm and clean the mess up before she fell on her butt.
Night grabbed a mop then began cleaning just as she heard the knock at her door. Putting the rag down in a bucket by the sink she headed for the door.
Openning it she saw Valentine standing there, relief washed over her as she greeted him. "Come in,please. " As she turned to allow him entry to her home she realized she had cocoa all over her jeans but it couldnt be helped. The memory of the smell came back to her as she inhaled and wrinkled her nose. Seeing the bedding in his hand she holds out her hands.
"I assume thats for me, right? Forgive me Im a little rattled at the moment. I seem to either have a ghost living here with me or an invisible house guest I havent met yet, just smelled"

Looks at night wind then nods and hands her the covers"They are for you, and i did saw you needed to change the locks just in case"He smiles a little t her as he walks in and looks around until he looks at the cellar door wondering for a slight moment if that odd smell is coming from his chest in the basement or not."ill help you clean up the place today okay"
Walks into the kitchen and looks through the cabinets"i should go to town to get some food for you as well, im sure you want to eat by your self sometime in your new home"He yawns a bit and covers mouth."if you have a ghost well i cant help that but if you have an unwanted guest they are most likely in the hidden room i showed you. Other wise they can hide there smell to well for me to pick it up"

Night follows him inside as he talks to her. Listening to him soothes her nerves as she dismisses the scare she had earlier as just her imagination for now. Later she would climb up and examine the hidden room in the attic he had told her of. If it was occupied she would get rid of who or whatever it was fast. Laughing as he looks in the cupboards while mentioning he would do some shopping for her today she smiled. "Well only if you let me help with the cost. You already let me stay here in this house of yours I think I owe you for that atleast. besides I'd like to see about getting in some of that Jade tea to keep here for cold mornings." She took the bedding upstairs to put it away fast then pulled the door closed to her room since the bed was a mess.
Returning to the kitchen she notices his looking at the cellar door. "Did you need something from the basement? I dont think I've even gone down there yet. If you have some time, maybe you wouldnt mind exploring the last bit of my house with me? Who knows what was stored down there?" smiling with a sense of adventure she twisted the doorknob and opened the cellar door

Laughs a little and nods though the door is locked so night wind cant open the door."
the door has been locked i have a key though but i think after we explore the basement
we should go get you some food for the house after all you are going to be here a while"walks over to the door and takes necklace from under shirt off and opens the
pendent that has the key in it. The key has a skeleton on the top of it, he then places
key in door knob and puts necklace back
on.
"I guess you are right about the food thing after all i dont know what you like besides
jade tea and hot coco"he smiles and turns the key on door and opens it up into a pitch
black stair way. He flicks a light switch on and the whole basement lights up."oh and be careful of the boards they are quite old okay"

Shaking her head she looks at him as he unlocks the door to the cellar. She shouldnt assume things. Perhaps he had wanted to go down there on his own, it was his house after all though she lived there. Glancing back once more at the kitchen she turned to him noting the key he had used was somewhat like a skeleton on one end. Along with the shirt he had worn before with the skeleton or skull on it she thought he might like bones or just like creepy things. Good she had a feeling this was going to be a very creepy adventure indeed.
They could plan their shopping trip later when they returned upstairs, as she looked into the dark opening before the light went on she caught again that faint smell though much weaker. Whoever or whatever it was had been in the cellar. Though how she didnt know since the door was locked. Mindful of the old boards as she followed him into the opening to go down the stairs she tested the wood of each step. Using her sense of hearing to guide her if the board sounded weak or rotting she passed over it quickly so she didnt break it.

Valentine walks down and the walls grow older looking as you go down 16 or so steps
to the basement. the basement is bare besides 3 chests with a lock on it and a lot of paintings on tables with paints. There is also a black chest under the steps that he
goes to once down the steps and stops infront of the chest under the steps and head
begins to hurt some but he ignores it just for a while at least.
He looks around and wonders how his paintings and paints got down here since he
thought he never remembered where they were."odd...my paintings are down here...
how did they get here i wonder"he says but mostly to him self. One of the paintings is
covered up with a sheet so to hide it and he blinks as he doesnt remember or even
sence his smell on it so it doesn't seem to be his at all.

Following him down the stairs Night looked around at the things down there, the chests then noticed the paints and canvas with interest. She wondered who the artist was. As she stepped off the bottom step she watched him move right away to the space below the stairs. Some sort of chest that he seemed very interested in kept him busy. Yet she didn't miss his slight wince in pain for a brief second before it was gone from his visage.
Night looked around a bit more then moved to his side. She was curious about the chest but more about the paintings. "Those paintings over there who did them? Do you paint Valentine?" She wondered if he would show them to her if they were really his work, or would he be too nervous too? In fact seeing the paintings had distracted her from the odd smell. Down here it was barely noticeable just old, faint like a remnant from other days. Odd she thought but it didnt trouble her now with him there she felt safer.
