Lucy was not seen for days - and perhaps even verging upon a week. The people of Rhy'Din perhaps would never had seen such a display of unusual luck! That annoying little girl apparently bent on world destruction - or, as it were people liked to assume of her had magically disappeared. The Den was silent without the noises of the Black Monk Army - Mina or the Twins were not seen. Not even Nana, the Moor Cat...
However, the Den was not completely devoid of all life. Humans walked the grounds as calmly as ever and over the next few days... Even the god damned homeless came to set up make shift camps within the clearing of such a brooding structure of death.

Of course they knew who lived there, but that didn't stop them! And strangely enough no death forsaked them for trespassing upon the unholy grounds. Not even the a yelp of anger from the small Queen of Shadow demons herself.

A week maybe, perhaps two had passed and the Den suddenly sparked up with life, however slight that was... The doors opened slowly and there before the church-arched like doors that was the entrance to the Den stood Lucy. Stareing out at the huts, fires, women and children - men - old aged adults that surrounded the Fort itself sleeping during the dead of the night.

3am to be exact.

And it unphazed her.

Lucy held her neck and closed her eyes thinking back to the reasons behind her massive inactivity as of late...

Lord Erich Von Locke...

A playful gesture - and forgetting of his skin condition against the light had almost killed him, she was taken into the booth by his rage and feasted upon by the man in his lusty advances. It was like someone else completely different - a monster - a hidden beast that caught her attentions...
She left that booth running back to the Den, crying, afraid confused of the rush of heat that overcame her dying body...

That was until she locked herself in her own Fort and never showed face again for days on end... And now she finally had summoned the courage to return back to the Inn, fully succumbing to the Death Blight and becoming that of the Undead, she searched for the same man that caused all of this to begin with.

But alas she did! Her questioning of local patrons - her Father, Lore, Sakura - even Charlotte once of his whereabouts and ironically he lived right there in the Inn a floor up...

Found, and confessing a strange and confusing likeness to him, the Lord took her under his wing. Like Renna to Jodiah all over again. But then this time something was drastically different in this exchange of services - Lucy now virtually becoming his pet, his thing... His... Something; Lucy wanted nothing more than to be his Lady, but, he would have many Ladies... So... She merely promised to be his for as long as her undead body may last - and forever how long he may had lived in this mortal world.

But what was to become of her? Her purpose in life was changing as much as Renna's did. But within her coil she knew that she needed to become stronger - she needed to become immortal. Forever lasting - all powerful. Does such a power exist? And where was Alex and his Doll? Questions ran through her head so quickly as she laid there in the dead of the night. The Death Blight's acceleration of her body's rot was faster growing her body to that of the age she should have been when she was once mortal that so long ago...

Before the possession of Renna.

Before coming to Rhy'Din.

Before existing as Lucy Ren - the peasent girl and nothing more.

Shifting upon the bed covers her naked form shifted to lean against the other that laid next to her - his own body longer than her small frame. Fingers tracing his arm as he slept. The first time she would have slept with another damned soul within the same bed - something she longed for, for so long... Contact...

Love.

The feeling to be loved.

It was a sad notion for her that she would fall for something as pathetic - and she promised herself she would not heel to this man's will with each beckoning he so did. She had her own agenda, she wanted to be strong. But then couldn't this man like Jodiah to Renna make her stronger? He certainly embarrassed her once before in the Inn by dissarming her with a mere hand while she, had a sword. Wounded, but not beaten Lucy would think twice in angering him however.

But if there was one thing she worried about...

It was the possible rumours of herself and the Lord being together - fine! He was what? An adult and she was what? 16? 17? In body? Lucy didn't care - and she would certainly not care in what other's think may have been right or wrong. She really and truely... Liked the man. Nothing would change it.
A sigh as she leant up, glancing to the now unhealed wound. It's rot had turned black and flakey. And there was only one way for her to regain herself back to tip top condition, that, of perfect living dead girl yet again...

Lucy needed to consume flesh.

Something she hated doing.
