A Sign From Fate

Throughout the Society, there was one door recognized and often avoided by almost every Lodger. It was often guarded by a man with a cane or a towering orange giant and seemed to have been put in backwards, the hinges facing outwards, towards the rest of the hallway. This door, of course, belonged to none other than Hela Hyde... and today, something unusual had appeared to decorate its surface.

It seemed to be attached to the door, as much as a part of it now as the very wood it was made of, a reminder for those passing through the halls of the Hyde within.

No one had seen who had put up the sign.

Elaina hadn't been out of her room to see the sign. She sat at her desk, opening the small box and messing with the contents. She wrote a note and placed it inside the box. She stood and walked over to the door that had appeared a few days ago. She knocked hard on the door, but not loud enough for anyone outside of the two bedrooms to hear, hopefully. "Helen...? Are you there?"

(I'm afraid Helen won't be out again for a very long time, Elaina. Your talk with her and Lewis the other day didn't exactly improve her relationship with Hela.)

A voice informed her, coming from behind Elaina as the lights in her room first dimmed then went out completely.

(Are you afraid of the dark?)

Elaina looked around, grabbing her cane and unsheathing the sword it hid. She yelped when the lights went out, scowling at nothing. "NO!" She yelled defensively.

(Hey, cut that out! Leave the brat alone.)

(Hmp. Fine.)

A lantern appeared at Elaina's feet, lighting up the room with a dim glow and casting a dark silhouette of what seemed to be Helen on the wall before her. A grin appeared on the face of the shadow.

(I just want to make her happier.)

Elaina frowned and walked over to the shadow, holding her sword out. "Who are you?"

The shadow shifted and took on the silhouette of Hela with fangs in her mouth and burning red slits for eyes. (You're tired of the she-wolf stealing all of your time with Helen... Right...?)

(So let's do something about it. You'll never be able to give Helen her gift if Hela destroys her... Your only hope is to destroy the she-wolf first.) The shadow Hela writhed and opened its fanged mouth in a silent agonizing scream before vanishing; the lights had turned back on, the lantern now extinguished. (And I plan to help you with just that.)

Kito had taken a great curiosity to the door often, in his wolf form would sniff at it and paw at the ground before it. The wolf would then turn and leave off to the way of the greenhouse. He would also press his ear to the door and then turn and leave after a moment. He wouldn't do anything else, and he hadn't tried to get in or break the door. He didn't understand, why such security for this? He than recalled the conversation he had with the other scent in that room. She's a killer. He shouldn't interfere with this place that so kindly gave him a spot as close to his home as they could. He growled at himself for wanting to help. What would his family think? his family. He cried out in anguish as he had started to walk away from the door and let out a sorrow filled howl. The howl echoed throughout the hallway, filled with anguish and pain.

May I ask then why all the security around this one resident? I have smelled at least twenty others more dangerous than her. Especially that blond haired fellow, named Hyde. Kito thought.

(Of course! Well, you see, Hela is different from all those people because she attacks the Lodgers here, within the Society while the others keep their violent actions outside of this building. Nobody wanted her doing that so she stays locked up in her room.)

Why didn't anyone but her in her place? These people certainly don't act when action is needed. He thought. That wouldn't be tolerated back in Kito's home village, if anyone did that they'd be severely punished and put in their place no matter the means. Or they'd be killed, one of the two depending on the severity. He sat down tail sweeping the floor. The High wolf sat there waiting.

(Hela knows quite a few people who wouldn't allow such a thing.) The voice explained with a sigh. (Killing her would also kill her counterpart, Helen, and any sort of violence would only encourage the she-devil.)

(I am aware of their counterparts, I met Helen a few days ago. Before this sign was put up. Hela is merely a dead tree needing chopped down. And their means to take care of something without violence, you know that don't you? Their is ways to show her without using physical violence. Those vary based off scenario.) Kito said knowledgeably, having had to help stop his own sister from going insane and feral.

The voice was silent for a long moment before making a suggestion. (Perhaps you could tell the other Lodgers about the methods that don't require violence. I'm sure they'd appreciate the help.)

Kito's expression showed one of high doubt. (How can everyone be accepted somewhere? There's bound to people that wish to get rid of another. How can you be sure? The people I've met so far have been strangely kind but that doesn't mean it won't happen. Which is why you can't trust anyone.) The wolf seemed to sign as it lay on the ground.

(I like to call it knowing not to trust humans,) Kito said. He grew up only trusting his own people and with nearly being killed by humans not to long ago and being here now, not knowing if his family was alive pushed those feelings of mistrust to another level. (Why should I believe a voice without any proper reason? You don't feel like one of the spirits)

"Can I vandalize it?"

"Are you being serious?"

Fiona merely shrugged and gestured to the door once more. (This drew glares from Nicolette, who was currently trying to remember the name of the creature within. She'd heard of them before, of course. It was hard not to.)

(I wouldn't recommend trying.) A voice commented, coming from a figure behind them. They were slouched against the door across from Hela's, their clothes and body made of swirling smoke and shadows, creating an indistinct form of a human. (I'm not even sure if you can vandalize it.)

"The 'ell are you?" came the shorter one's response.

"Fiona!"

"I have a right ta know! Look at 'em, all smug an'--"

'Fiona' was promptly silenced by a stamp on the foot, and her assailant merely offered a curt smile. Knowing of the Society's...interesting repute, it would be better to play it safe. "Ah, hello!"

The figure let out a giggle, raising their hand to cover the hole that made up their mouth. (Hello you two... Don't worry, I don't bite.) They replied as they lowered their hand. (As to what I am... I'm not entirely sure myself. My apologies.)

(I appreciate your attempts to keep her in line, but you can save your energy. I don't take offense easily.) The gap of their mouth widened into a grin.
