Her heart skipped a beat when she saw Horus. Her cheeks flushed and she looked away from him and down at the knife that she had dropped. "H-Horus! I-it's not what it looks like really!" She looks back up at him but it was hard for her to look him in the eyes, it was always hard for her to do that. "I... I don't know how to tell you what happened to me to day... but it all lead to this..." She said looks away from him again. Melali was makeing it very unclear what was going on and more then likely would worry her lover rather then clam him down.

He misread her, his brows furrowing as he looked at her sadly. His hand dropped from her wrist to her fingers, bringing up between them. Very carefully, his other hand enfolded around hers. "I'm sorry, Melali. That you could be driven to this--this horrible thing. But it's not worth it." He looked at her with sincerity. "You know that you are precious to me. You mustn't hurt yourself, or it will hurt me too," he murmured.

Oh goodness! Melali didn't explain herself properly again. It seemed to happen whens he is around him. She just lost her word a lot or just plain forgot them. Horus meant everything to her and she knew he felt the same way about her. Just from listening to him right now. Suddenly she gave a nervous giggle. She did that around him a lot too. "Oh Horus." She reaches up with her free hand and cups his cheek. "It's really not what you think. Here let me explain. You sister got a new... Toy.... He is kind of like your father in a way not from around here... Well I didn't get a good vibe from this man and seeing as your sister hates me she made he his... his..." She looked away from him and to the knife on the ground. "Personal servant..... And like I said he is not from here at all... Where he is from he need human flesh or blood to live... So I was... Getting him something to drink.... That's why you caught me like this but I know what plants to use to clean the wound and make it heal fast!" She added in as an after thought, like that would help any.

But her words brought him little relief. The lines of his frown deepened into resentment as he averted his eyes. "My sister, I cannot believe her!" he exclaimed, though his voice was not much more than whisper. "First... all of these men... and now she demands you to service them as well?" He released a frustrated, aggrieved sigh before turning back to her. "Oh Melali, I am so sorry," he said, raising a hand to cup her cheek. His thumb lightly brushed her skin. "You are so brave..." But the thought of her bravery only made him think once more of her plight as his sister had become particularly cruel toward her. "You are not hew new monster's servant any longer. I am gong to have a talk with my sister. Do not cut yourself--" By means of his magic, he brought up the cup with a wave of his hand, where it floated in the air. His parents may have unjustly given his spoiled sister all of the power of the gods, but he still had his own magic by virtue of his lineage. As the cup hung in the air, he clenched his hand over it and balled a fist, nails biting into his flesh. It squeezed blood from his palm like juice from a lemon, the viscous red liquid pouring out.
"If that thing wants blood, give him this. Don't hurt yourself."

Melali watched him fill the cup and gently took it out of the air. "Horus there is something you need to know about this new man... Like I said he is different. He come from a world, maybe even a plane far, far from here." She looks back up at him with worry and fear in her dark eyes. "You know all thought nightmares I told you about? The ones where people were dieing all around me? Well they aren't dreams Horus it is a real place and he is from there. I scared of him... I really am and as for you sister." She looks back down on the ground. "I know you mean well for me Horus but the more you defend me, stand up for me, the more angry she gets. Horus she has the powers of the Gods now... If it is her will she would very well weigh my heart!" (IE: take her soul) She looks back up at him placing a hand on his chest. "Please... I may be afraid of this man but I am brave like you said... I can handle this..." She take a few steps closer to him closing the gape between them laying her head on his chest. "All I ask... If you do care for me... Just... Be here for me when I need you..."

His eyes became wide and grave once again, much as they were when he entered the garden. The truth is, he couldn't fully understand the direness in which she spoke of Daemon. For as much as she had described Hell, he couldn't truly envision it, it was so far from the scope of what he knew. He paid careful attention and understood reason to be concerned, but that was not what bothered him. He was more worried about the second part of the dilemma--his sister. That she could take away his love. That his love for her would only make her life worse. When she came close, he couldn't resist wrapping her arms around her. "You are very brave" he murmured, bowing his head over hers, and lightly, he pressed his lips against the crown of her head. "I am sorry," he murmured. Loving her, he hadn't meant to make her life so much more difficult. "I will always be here for you."

She smiled into his chest when she felt his lips touch the top of her head. "I...I love you Horus..." She knew very well that he loved her but it was never really said. She looks up at him with a smile on her face. "It will get better. We both know when it come to you father he has a very different way of thinking then your mother and sister. Once they come back I'm sure things will get better but till then... We will have to keep meeting like this. Away from the eyes of everyone else..." She looks away from him again. "But... I think I should be heading back to Deamon...." Even thought she said this she didn't move out of her lovers embrace.

He sighed softly, and she could feel the faint breath on her. "Stay strong, my dear," he said in a hushed tone. Though he hated parting just as much, he knew better, that every second he held her was a second they could be caught. That though there were rumors of their affair, there was no actual proof. That if there was actual proof, it would be her that would be judged and punished, not him. And so, his arms slid out from around her, as he slowly backed away.

Melali had to held back tears as she turned and walked away from him. Oh how she would just rather stay there in the garden in his arms, but no his sister would never let that happen. She made her way back to Deamon and held out the cup to him. "Here is your blood." She says in a shaky voice. This time it wasn't out of fear but sadness.

"What took you so long," Daemon said, it really wasn't a question. He snapped up the cup, though he was just as tempted to just toss it. He was old enough to not really need material sustenance--he just wanted to put her through the trouble. And yet as he raised the cup to do just that, he got a whiff of the fine, sweet smell of it, and was surprised. Almost cautiously, as though not knowing quite what to expect, he raised it to his lips, the aroma drawing him in enough that he wanted to taste.
It was astounding, not quite like anything he'd tried back in his world. That's when it occurred to him. "This isn't your blood, is it? It's not human."

"I--humm--uh!" It didn't occur to her that he could smell the difference in bloods. She looked around and saw that they where alone but she just couldn't bring herself to tell him where she had gotten the blood from. It would give away that she was with Horus and that he was helping her out. So she just stood there looking rather silly.

He frowned. "I will hurt you," he promised coldly. "If you do not tell me the source."

She looked away from him and rubbed her arm reluctant to say but she took a deep breath in and then let it out. "Horus.... Nefertari's younger brother.... It's his blood." She couldn't believe that she told him that but then again if she got hurt Horus would be very upset about that. She had to play everything safe now.

"Is that so..." he said, thoughtfully. He had been unaware of the existence of a younger--what would one call it, a God? Something seemed off though. "And why would a the brother of a Goddess be giving up his blood to protect a servant girl?" he asked.

Melali's body tensed up again as she looked at the floor not making eye contacted with him. "H-h-he's very nice...He.... He saw my about to cut myself and stopped and and helped me out. H-Horus cares about the servants in the palace." LIES LIES LIES!!! She had the worst poker face that anyone could have! It also didn't help that Deamon can read minds and he can plainly see that she is lying about this.
