Confessions (Citadel)
DIR By: Amaris
Date: April 1, 2018, 11:35 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
She made her way in the shadows until she reaches the wall,
there she climbs to the top and begins her run to the Citadel.
She hopes the boys are in a better mood now that Michael was
again protecting the city. She ran, but there was no joy in her.
For all of the trouble it was, having Mary close was a
comfort...the loss of her left a hole inside Amaris. She did not
consider her face, assuming it would return come the next
sunset- she set that aside as a minor inconvenience and let it
slip from her mind as she made her way home. Well to her other
home..Thomas' home.
She remembered her time trapped inside her own mind as Mary
plead with Michael...she remembered watching her life..she
remembered what she felt as she first gave up hope, then ripped
it from the grip of despair...She remembered realizing how much
she loved Thomas. There was no reason behind it...nothing she
could pin down as the reason for this love...but it was there
and powerful. Almost frighteningly so. She ran the last stretch
trying not to think of what that meant.
She climbed down the wall not far from the entrance. She stayed
close to it, robed in it's shadow until she was beside the door.
She watched for others..burning blood to strain her hears, her
nose, and her eyes ... satisfied she was alone for that moment
she made her way inside. She lit the lamps carefully and looked
around. Safe, her body finally relaxed. She could hear the boys,
their nails in the stone floor making soft clicking noises
behind the bared door. She padded over and spoke to them as she
wrestled with the bar that Thomas moved so easily... She opened
the door and they barreled out to greet her. She crouched down
to meet them as they stopped and whined uncertainly. The
advanced slowly...tails swaying slowly. She remembered her face
and spoke to them as she always did but stayed still as they
sniffed her and nosed at her mouth. She opened it for them
allowing them to taste her mouth like they would with another
wolf. She did not rush them, and finally they began to lick her
face and wallow her as they did at every meeting.
She gave them kisses and scratches, rubbed ears and bellies
before making her way to the bed and piling on with them. She
would wait her for Thomas until he returned from his rounds of
the city.

*Was over an hour before the boys reacted to his presence then
Amaris could see him as the door to the building opened and the
boys came running to him*
Good Boys.. .. it is good to see you safe inside and not out
terrorizing the area intonights madness. . .
*he then looked up seeing a form in his haven *
Amaris? Boys would not have let you live had it been anyone
else. . . Good to see you are ok also was very concerned with
all that was happening in the city
*he stood up and started coming towards her when he noticed the
change in her appearance*
You. .. . Changed. . . Your look

She had long since dropped the dark skin and examined the dark
brown hair she was left with. She had braided it as usual, but
there was no way of knowing her face. She sat on his bed smiling
uncertainly.
"Well, when the night was going badly I locked them in ... they
were in such foul moods they snapped at me, so I thought it best
to spare the rest of the city their wrath. And they only thought
to end me for a moment when I returned ... but they knew my
voice and scent ... and I remember what to do to appease them."
She shrugged
"...it was not so much that I have changed it... Michael has
changed it, I believe. I cannot see it, but Lord Mannix informed
me I "no longer look like Mary" ... I wonder when it dawned on
him that I always had ..."
There was as small broken laugh that escaped which she tried to
hide by clearing her throat
"..Anyway....the night has been ....long - in everything but
time. Sit with me, and when you are ready and I will confess my
sins to you."

She sat quietly a moment as he studied her new face.
"I think I will be back to looking like me tomorrow...although I
do not know for certain..."
She took his hand in hers and smiled
"Do you like this face better? Perhaps I could find a way to
keep it if you do."
She shook her head to clear her thoughts and before he could
answer she began to tell him of what had transpired since he
left earlier that evening. She admitted her foolishness for
going to the city and then told him everything she could
remember of the events that unfolded. She kept her thoughts
from inside her temporary entrapment to herself, there was no
need to burden him with them. She explained about Michael, the
crucifixion,the man who warps his mind and how he was near to
attacking Mary when Natalya staked him...she told him of
Natalya's current state. And finally, she told him of what she
was considering doing. Her Sire and Symeon needed to know that
Michael was in danger, and that that danger was a threat to the
city. Petronius was not keeping watch over Michael as he
should...this should not have happened. She also explained how
Mary was gone from her...how she believed Michael had taken it
from her just as he had placed her there before...and perhaps he
had taken her face as part of Mary.
Finally she looked at him and shook her head
"So now the city is safe..at least for a while. And I am more me
and less me all at once. And I think I have scared Lord Mannix
for life...or made him question his faith at the very least.
And...I am sorry if I have dissappointed you once more. Forgive
me."

She leaned in and kissed him
"Oh, I think I do every time I use vicissitude. But I want you
to know, I try to only use it to protect myself...and to get
better so I can help others. I kow it is strange to you, but I
must see inside an ear to know it's workings...a dead man's ears
cannot show me how a living one works. But if I can know it's
workings, perhaps I can restore hearing to those who have none.
Or if I can know how eyes work I can help restore sight..."
She looked at him so earnestly
"I want to help people ... but to do so I must cause harm to
others... but I do try to use only those who cause harm to
innocents...."
She looked down,
"I don't want you to think me a monster ... but I fear you do at
times."

i have no problems with you wanting to help people and inwanting
to help you must also do other things to learn about it. . . I
understand that
*he paused*
I just do not want to see you begin to go to a point that it is
not as much to help but just to see what you can do and get away
with in changing someone. . understand? That is when i will
look upon as a Monster
*he lifted her head up at that point*

It had been a emotional night and his statement touched
something in her. She looked at him with this foreign face and
softly laughed
"They call you such odd things, but they have no idea who or
what you are. You have this heart of gold, and every time I
taste you, the bits make me understand what home feels like. "
She shook her head and looked into his eyes
"Tell me Thomas Feroux...tell me what gods you believe in. I
want to build you a temple of mirrors so you can see them."
