VOICES WON'T GO AWAY they stay for days and days They say some awful things, ways to make you fade away Alastor shook his head once, frowning slightly in guilt. "If I tell mother would get mad." He was sure of that, and even further he wouldn't just get in trouble but his parents might get in trouble as well. Alastor didn't want that, even if this boy did interest him so. He didn't want to put the humans in danger either, so he'd keep it a secret as always.
He sat down near Attikus as he pulled up his box of toys, waiting patiently for him to open it so he could see what was inside. While the boy spoke he leaned over and looked into the container, reluctant to dig around at first, until he saw Attikus pull out a stuffed animal for himself. "Dangerous how?" He inquired, curiously whilst finding a stuffed animal that he liked. A big fluffy, plush lion resided in his hands. He turned it over, inspecting it carefully, before he was satisfied and help it to his chest as Attikus did his.
He lifted his violet hues to the human boy across from him, before speaking once more. "Are you sure? Won't you get in trouble?" Though even as he said this, even Alastor was curious about the other rooms. He was a child, just like Atti, despite his status and education. For his parents to have a house built like this they must be hiding something special in the other rooms. "Do you think they're hiding treasure?" The thought of this instantly peaked his curiosity.
He looked at Attikus expectantly, wanting him to say that they could go without him having to ask. Hopefully, he wished the boy would read his mind so he would be the one officially proposing the mischievous plan to go where they shouldn't.

| Never really stayed in one place Maybe that's the way it should be
 He was confused, but Atti would let this go for now. He'd rather not end up pushing it. Since after all most of the time this might end badly. Attikus and Al were supposed to play. Not keep on questioning each other basically. More or less so what was he supposed to do here? Who knew. It confused him sometimes. But he just shook this away, holding his stuffed animal against his chest. Playing with the monkey animal, it had stickers, and marker drawings all over it. He didn't even care. Attikus loved this thing. He liked his toys, and his stuffed animals. He'd never get rid of them even when he got older. "Oh well I guess so. Don't wanna make momma mad. " Parents were freaking scary as all hell when they got mad. He didn't want to think about the times he had ticked someone off without meaning to. More or less Atti had done so on a few occasions. For whatever reasons those were, but he just did it, and didn't know what to do about it.
"I dunno. Momma just said it was dangerous. She probably has something really special down there." He only shrugged. Atti had wanted to see it before, but his parents never let him. They were hunters but he didn't know that. So what was he supposed to do? Atti was only a child. And not one raised in that hunter lifestyle either. They probably thought they made that mistake with his true mother. But Atti didn't know those details either, so he was already confused by all of this stuff. What could he even do? He had a feeling this was not going to get him anything. Even if he wanted it to. "Oh heck no! If I don't get caught I won't get into trouble. That's all." He just laughed, this was fun to him. It had always been that way. He wanted to find out what was in some of those rooms anyway.
The fluffy lion his friend was holding, he remembered playing with that as a child. But he'd share. Atti wasn't that selfish of a person. He wanted to let Al have some fun. So of course he'd share his toys with the male. That was all he could do right now. And he knew it. Though he'd rather not dig those things back up again. His parents would be mad if they knew he brought someone in here. "Treasure? Maybe, it'd be awesome if there was treasure in there, maybe we can see some of it." He laughed, and wondered what they'd find. Really to Atti this was just going to be way too fun. More or less. Yet he didn't know entirely where to go with this. Or how to handle this either. Atti had his ideas in his mind, as strange as they might be.
"Come on let's go!" He would have taken his hand but he was still holding the stuffed animal. And Atti didn't want to put it down, or make Al put his away either. |

VOICES WON'T GO AWAY they stay for days and days They say some awful things, ways to make you fade away He could sense that Attikus was warming up to the idea of going to those rooms, if not already concocting a plan. Though Alastor wasn't sure if he could trust this boy and his 'plans' he did want to know what was inside the secret rooms. He didn't think they'd find anything dangerous. Perhaps it would just be like his fathers study, books and paperwork.
As Attikus stood, so did Alastor, he too refusing to put down the stuffed animal. "Are you sure you know where the rooms are?" He asked after standing. He'd follow the red haired boy wherever he might go, though he did wonder sincerely if he was just bluffing about these other rooms. Alastor had never been in a house so small that was built like this. Was it bigger than it looked on the outside? Did it have a fortress underneath?

| Never really stayed in one place Maybe that's the way it should be
Of course he knew, his father and mother always told him what rooms to avoid when they moved. They never said what was behind them. But he wasn't allowed to go in them. But for now he knew his friend wanted to see them. Al might not like what they see but Atti didn't know what they'd see either. He never went into some of them, others he had but his parents would get mad if they knew. So waiting till they were busy or upstairs was good to do. He didn't know if they had anything in the room. The child was too young to understand cameras, or any of that nonsense. It was not something he cared about either. So why bother? "Well I know where most of em are, mom and dad probably kept a few to themselves. But oh well. Come on which one do you wanna see first?" He wasn't sure about the basement. Why would he be?
His parents might get angry, like really angry. At least if he was found in the other rooms it might not be such a problem. At the very least. Or so he thought. Perhaps he needed to figure it out in some other way instead. At least for right now anyway. Perhaps? He was not certain, his friend had just gotten here, and then they were talking about the rooms. All those secret rooms he didn't play it. Attikus had found them fun, the ones his parents actually bothered to let him go into. He wouldn't force his way into the other ones since that was never a good idea for him either. Not now at the very least. Perhaps he just needed to take a small step back and do things a different way instead, that'd be for the best.
Could they go now? He wanted to see if his friend might let him explore. At least a little bit, though he'd rather not dig back into that again. That's all. Really. What was he going to do, what was he going to say? It might not end up doing him much of any good either right. Most likely this was just how life was, and how life would always be by this point really. "Come on Al! let's go before Momma finds out." He said as he thought about reacing out to him and dragging Al along with him, but for now he didn't. That would be for the best. |

VOICES WON'T GO AWAY they stay for days and days They say some awful things, ways to make you fade away Most of them? How many rooms like this existed in his home? Alastor didn't mean to be nosy, but his childish curiosity was getting the better of him. As Attikus stood, he pushed himself up not too much later. Still holding the stuffed animal in his hand he watched the red haired boy move towards the entrance of the room once more. Not wanting to be left behind he followed, and once they were out he kept extra close behind.
"It doesn't matter which..so long as we find one." He replied timidly, holding the lion tighter. He held it just under his chin as he followed the boy from his room and out into the hallway. Alastor could hear his mother doing dishes down stairs, the faint clanking of dishes pervading his senses among other things. He wasn't sure how stealthy Attikus could be. The boy was sort of a clutz in Alastor's view, though it may have just been because he was human.
Sneaking down the stairs had been a bit scary. He didn't want Atti to get in trouble with his mom, so his footsteps were as light as he could possibly make them. When they got to the bottom he waited for any further instruction before following his partner once again.

| Never really stayed in one place Maybe that's the way it should be
Atti didn't entirely know how to describe this, or how to explain the rooms in this house. The rooms were weird enough and he'd rather not get into that. Since it was bound to not be very helpful more or less. After all his parents didn't allow him to explore the room very much. They wouldn't allow it. Those rooms in his families mind had been dangerous, or something bad was in them. He would always ask about fairy tale monsters. But he never got straight answers. It couldn't be that surprising though. His parents must have reasons. Though as he lead Al around he didn't even end up thinking of them right now. Why would he? "Alright come on dude!" He didn't seem bothered, right now that stuff was so far from his mind.
He'd rather think of it some other way. Not dwell on this, not deal with the negatives. Or anything along those lines. Pretty simple right there. At least from what he thought. People didn't need to know what he might be thinking. At least for the moment they did not. That was just how he had seen this, and he'd always end up going his own way on this sort of thing. Probably for the best in that way. Now that he was thinking about it. Perhaps he needed to shrug it off. Or maybe he didn't. Either way he felt that this was not going to be easy. Atti couldn't hear his parents moving around. So they must be off elsewhere in the house.
If Al didn't think it'd matter. Then they could go into the basement. Explore the room down there. Just see what they might find. He didn't entirely know all that might be down there. Mostly since his parents never let him go down there. He knew where they put the key though. He had seen them hide it many times, but his parents never ended up noticing him. Maybe they were that oblivious or they didn't care that he knew. Either way things happened, and now he bounced down the steps quietly with his friend.
"Come on right here! Help me up, I need to get the key from the shelf." He pointed to the shelf to the right of the door. And when his friend helped him, he then grabbed the key and unlocked the door. Slipping it into his pocket and shutting the door quietly behind them. He didn't think much of locking it, but when they got in there, he could see lots of handcuffs and other restraints. Tools he'd never seen before littered various areas in the space. Atti didn't know what any of this stuff was. He just had to be too oblivious to all of it. |

VOICES WON'T GO AWAY they stay for days and days They say some awful things, ways to make you fade away Alastor nodded when Attikus spoke to him. Carefully he set down the lion on the floor and helped the red haired boy up so he could grab the key. For a child of his size he was still a bit stronger than Attikus was while being human, or at least Alastor thought so. His powers weren't really developed quite yet but it didn't put as much strain on him to help his friend up.
When Attikus got the key he let him down and quickly picked up his stuffed animal before following after him once more. He was quick and quiet, somewhat anxious that his mother would find them as well. He was patient for Atti though, and waited until he unlocked the door before entering after him. Though once inside he stopped to stare for a long moment. The sound of the door shutting behind them made his heart flutter, not for any other reason but because he was suddenly so scared.
The handcuffs and other devices. He may have been a child but he knew that this wasn't normal. They all had the faintest smell of blood. He held the toy to his chest tighter, lowering his chin as he took a timid step forward. Though already there was an uncomfortable feeling in his throat. He tried to clear it but all that came out was a faint whimper. His eyes were watering within moments later, all of this, the change it atmosphere completely overwhelming him.
This was much much different from the rest of the house. His mother had been so warm and welcoming but this...these were signs of possibly...Alastor didn't want to think that his new red haired friend was a hunter. It made him upset just thinking about it.

| Never really stayed in one place Maybe that's the way it should be
The boy had gotten the key and now he felt fine here. Yet they were exploring a place he had never been allowed in. What was he going to do? If his parents find out, this made him feel a bit confused. Seriously he almost didn't know what to do. Or how to even end up going about it. The area he walked into, it just didn't seem normal or sane either. So perhaps he needed to shrug this off. Find another way to deal. This could be his only thing. Atti only walked ahead of Al and glanced around. "What is this place. It's kinda creepy. Gives that horror movie vibe." He reached out to touch things and felt the cold metal against his fingers. Why did it feel so weird? He didn't even know what to do at this moment.
This place was weird, so new to him at that anyway. But he would just keep on working on it. Figuring out where he was. And what he was probably doing at this point for that mattered. Right? Atti looked back to Al again then glanced around him. Not like Al knew what to say. Or how to explain this either. He only wanted to help him, and wonder how he felt. At this moment. It might not end up helping at this point but who knew. He couldn't entirely be certain just what he was getting into. At this rate it might not be so normal, it might just end up being different or strange. This place. It was different, he could smell blood.
"Al...what is this...? It's scary...I don't like it." What was he going to do, Atti didn't like. He was touching things and he could hear the chains rattling. Almost as if someone was pulling on them. Just what was he supposed to say about this? It didn't seem to be working all that well either way. But he'd deal with it later. He thought maybe he should pull back and leave. Go with his friend somewhere else. Since this place seemed creepy enough at that. The things that happened here. Just what was it? Or where was it? What happened down here.
He didn't know anything about it. This was not a room he was allowed to be in. His parents had always kept this hidden from him. |

VOICES WON'T GO AWAY they stay for days and days They say some awful things, ways to make you fade away He glanced towards the far wall, weapons hanging above out of his reach but he could see clearly the hunters symbol on them. So it was true. Attikus was a hunter. Alastor swallowed hard but as he blinked tears fell from his eyes and slid down his cheeks. How could this boy be a hunter. He was so much nicer than the stiff, scary men he'd met before. The sound of shifting metal chains made him gasp, turning his cheek quickly to the red haired boy to make sure that he hadn't gone out of his sight.
He agreed wholeheartedly that this place was scary. He didn't want to be down here anymore. "Attikus..." He said, voice shaking as he sniffled and took another small step towards the boy. Though a second later he heard twisting metal from the door knob behind him, loud and clear in his sensitive hearing and it encouraged him to move quickly. Alastor ran to Attikus then, running to hold onto him or at least hide behind the boy as this wasn't his home and he felt that he'd done something terrible.
With one hand holding the stuffed animal he clung to the back of Atti's shirt with the other, burying his face into him while the sound of a man's voice entered the room. Shocked at first he stood at the door, taken aback by the two children in the room where they weren't supposed to be. "Mom!" He shouted, pushing the door away and walking to the two boys. "What the hell are you doing down here Attikus?"
The man reached out to his nephew, tugging him by she shirt. However Alastor quickly wrapped his arms around Atti's waist, holding onto him tightly and refusing to let go for anyone. He was still sobbing but he didn't care.

| Never really stayed in one place Maybe that's the way it should be
This place was so scary, but he wanted to know what else was here? What would he find. Attikus should have backed out, he should have taken his friend out of here. But too late for that right now. Now that he was really thinking about all of it anyway. He had already walked into this place, if he tried to back out. He'd probably just get into trouble. More or less right? This didn't sound like it was a very good idea though. He could only wonder just how much trouble he might get into for all of this. "A-Al? Are you okay, please don't cry this is okay!" This was all he wanted. He wanted all of them to feel better right now. What else could he do? They did need to go, or this place might get scary.
Well worse then it already was. He didn't like making Al all stressed out after all, right now. Pretty much. "Al maybe we should go? Don't you think?" This already felt strange enough. And he didn't want to drag this on any further. Not after making Al cry. So he started to back up a little, with his friend pressed up against him. He wouldn't let his friend get away, or get lost. Not now. They needed to get out before they were caught. "You'll be fine.. Promise." That was all he said right now. This would be okay, he knew it. Or so he thought they needed to get out though. Before bad things happened.
But they were caught, he heard steps. And his Uncle? His Uncle was there? What even? Where was momma, and who was he calling? This had all confused him. Yet he didn't know how to even do this. How to wrap his mind around all of this stuff right now at least. "Uncle! B-but Um the door was left open! I'm sorry! Al got scared cause we heard something moving back there. Uncle can we go now, and can you see what's back there. It's really scary." He cuddled Al even as his uncle tried to pull him out. He dug his feet into the ground and tried not to move. It wasn't like he wanted to go anywhere besides out.
But his Uncle was trying to take him. Why? Al seemed scared still. No doubt his Uncle wasn't making it any better. The steps could be heard again and a woman's voice cut through. "Put that child down, and escort them out of here. Can't you see he's crying, you scared him you big Oaf."She smacked the man on the back of the head with her towel. Almost like she was punishing a child for making a mess. She just looked back to the two boys, and reached down to ruffle Al's hair. "come on let's go back up this isn't an area for kids. I could have sworn I told your father to lock this place up better then that, he really needs to get rid of this garbage."She would try to lead the children up. But only if they wanted to go. |

VOICES WON'T GO AWAY they stay for days and days They say some awful things, ways to make you fade away The older man turned his cheek when he heard the woman coming down the stairs, though before he could even get a look at her he was flinching from the towel he felt smacking him on the head. He complained briefly but didn't say much against her, since it was his mother he was talking to. He let go of Attikus and glanced passed them to make sure they hadn't seen anything worse than this. "Sorry." He muttered both towards the children and his mother, stepping aside before he glanced down at the little ones and set his eyes on the on supposedly crying.
Even with his face pressed against Atti he could still smell the faint scent of blood in the air. It was vastly unpleasant. Reluctantly he lifted his head, looking up at the older woman as she ruffled his hair. His under eyes were faintly red but they healed within seconds despite his tears. He didn't want to go anywhere that Attikus wasn't, regardless of the fact that he now knew that his family were full of hunters. He'd thought that his mother had been so nice before, but even she felt slightly different now that he knew what they were. He kept his mouth shut and held onto Atti rather than speaking, glancing over at the man that had tried pulling him away as he heard him speak too.
"Al? Is this one of Atti's friends?" The man inquired, turning to face them both. He folded his arms across his chest and looked at him expectantly. He knew what that look meant and he didn't like it. He sniffled and frowned at the older man, as if a form of confidence were welling inside of him. "My names Alastor Rhiel." He replied, managing to pull of a voice that wasn't as shaky as it had once been, but as soon as he was done his frown softened. He knew that if anything, his name would protect him. They were hunters, and his parents were important people. Any of them would get in trouble if they messed with him, and as the man tilted his head -appearing to be in thought- he too seemed to recognize the name.
His eyes grew wide before he glanced over at his mother. Had she known about this? What was this kid doing here? "He should NOT be here." There was so little he could say in front of the kid, his nephew, but he hated the fact that this boy was clinging so close to his family.

| Never really stayed in one place Maybe that's the way it should be
Atti felt worried, he wanted to keep Al close and flee from his uncle. Why was his Uncle so mean sometimes? It was just way too annoying, but he'd rather keep that to himself. Probably for the best anyway at this point. Maybe. He had a feeling it wasn't going to matter. After all just where would he go? What would he do? Atti was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He should have known coming down here was bad. But his Mom was there, she had just smacked his Uncle in the back of the head. "You need to leave those children alone. And yes he is. Now come on Children." She held her hands out to the two boys, she didn't care who Al was. Or what family he was from. She only thought of one thing.
And that was getting those cute boys upstairs. Atti felt confused by this whole situation though he didn't move till Al did. If he left then both of them would. That was just how Atti saw this. Atti still had no idea they were hunters, or what hunters or vampires even were. In his mind those were just myths created by people. They wanted to scare children into behaving so it was something they made up. Like all the other stories in the world. He'd rather not think about that though since it wasn't going to do him any good. What was his Uncle acting like that for? It was weird.
Atti only blinked and tilted his head. He didn't care what his Uncle thought, and Atti would make sure he knew that. He kicked his Uncle in the leg, and just dragged Al towards the door. "Let's go play in my room, Uncle's just being a butt head." That was all, he would just go do something. Find what he needed to do basically. At this point it probably didn't mean much of anything. What was he going to do? The woman spoke up again and she just glanced at him. "You need to shush, the children will be here, and he won't be shoved away. Now you come with me we need to talk." She reached up to tug on her boy's ear as she dragged him out of the room after Atti and Al left.
She was not going to let anyone go back in that room. So she'd make sure to lock it once everyone was out. She'd just have to get the key back from Atti later, since she was sure that door was locked. |

VOICES WON'T GO AWAY they stay for days and days They say some awful things, ways to make you fade away Alastor was surprised by the bold behavior of not only the older woman, but Attikus as well. He expected the boy's uncle to act as he did, if not worse, but not for these two to be so different. The way the woman spoke it hinted that Attikus didn't know about him, or them. When he considered that before they'd even gone down here the red haired boy had no clue what these extra rooms were, that also said a lot. So they were different?
Alastor loosened his grip on Atti as the boy moved away to kick his uncle in the leg. It left Al a bit baffled, yet deeply proud. This human boy had guts, and he appreciated him even more now. When Attikus came back to him Alastor grabbed his hand and stuck close to him rather than leaving with the older woman. He had nothing against her, but the only person he trusted even faintly was Attikus. He'd follow the red haired boy out of the horrid room, rubbing his wet cheeks with the back of his hand before catching one last glimpse of the two adults over his shoulder.
"That was your uncle?" He muttered, concerned what might happen to lady if they left her with that man. He looked much younger, but he was still fit. "What about your mom?"

| Never really stayed in one place Maybe that's the way it should be
Atti wanted to leave, he wanted to take his friend away from those stupid people. His uncle needed to stop being such a big butt. What was his issue? Once again it wasn't like he actually got it or knew what to do either. This had already been a bit weird to him. However he'd ignore it for now. Since that was probably for the best. His mother wanted the boys to leave, and they would go. He took Al out of the room and back towards his own bedroom. Just holding onto the stuffed animal, along with Al's hand. "Don't worry about Uncle, he's just a butt, Momma says he's got issues." He laughed as he said that, it was true. His uncle had some issues. They were weird but issues anyway.
So for now he'd just take his friend away. They went right back up to his room and Atti sat on his bed. Glancing over at his friend he patted the bed next to him. Telling him to sit down. Hopefully he'd agree, since he wanted this. At least for now. Perhaps it might not end up meaning much of anything. He had a feeling this might not end so well. Either way he'd have to deal with it. He was just wondering what his parent was talking about. She was telling his Uncle something. Atti couldn't hear what they were saying though. "Yes he is...My family is special as momma likes to put it." He said as he just glanced down at the stuffed animal in his hand.
She only smacked his cheek and glared. This was not something she enjoyed. That child was not a bad person, and she knew it. "You should watch your mouth, he is Atti's friend and Atti has no clue they even exist. He's not bad, so what if you don't like his parents. That boy is just a child, now either grow up or You'll be living on the other side of the ocean. Do you really want that?"She was not about to accept this, but she waited to hear what the child had to say. She kept this world hidden from Atti for a reason, and he almost ruined it.
That irritated her the most. |

VOICES WON'T GO AWAY they stay for days and days They say some awful things, ways to make you fade away He sniffled, regardless of how unlike him it was to act this way. He never cried, but the smell of blood and the fact that Attikus was a hunter, it made him far too uncomfortable. Alastor followed Atti back to his room, and when the boy patted the spot on his bed beside him he walked over to sit down. He crawled up onto the mattress, but avoided eye contact with Atti as he stared at the floor. He couldn't clearly hear everything the two were saying downstairs, but it was obvious that they were going to fight about him being there now.
"I'm sorry I got you in trouble." He muttered quietly between them both. He did feel guilty, and the only way he knew to atone for a wrong doing was to apologize. He wanted to do the same for Atti's mother but she was currently preoccupied it seemed.
The man stiffened when she slapped him across the face, his shoulders shrugging before he could turn his eyes to her sullenly. He didn't want to hurt anyone, and he hadn't meant to make Atti upset, but there was a reason why he still remained a hunter. It did matter that that boy wasn't like them, regardless of what his mother's opinion was. "It doesn't matter if he's a child or not. He's a pureblood, and you let him in the house. Even close to Attikus, what are you thinking??"
He turned his cheek from her and ran a hand through his hair, clearly frustrated. "Maybe YOU can just forget about what happened, but I can't. I care about Atti just as much as you do. I don't want him getting mixed up with some blood sucking leech! You aren't protecting him by letting him be friends with that boy."
