(((Ok, here's a way to fix that, only Maya will have to have held on to what she's about to receive for quite a while...)))
"It's very simple..." Toraan began, "See that circle?"
Toraan pointed to a circle on the floor, directly in front of the shrine...
"Whomever want's to be purified is to stand in the middle..." He continued, explaining it to Maya, while she just stood and nodded, Toraan produced two white stones, "These are activation stones, at this time they are white, because they have not yet been used, but after they are used, they turn black..."
Toraan handed them to Maya. Each was just able to fit in Maya's hands and were quite heavy...
"You put them in the slot on the left," Toraan continued, "Now listen to the next part carefully: You must turn it clockwise, 180 degrees, then anti-clockwise 90 degrees, in that order!"
"Why in that order?" Maya asked.
"If you do not, something terrible might happen to the person in the circle. It does not have to be EXACTLY 180 degrees, or 90 degrees, 5 degrees off, in either direction will still work." He kept going as Maya listened.
"What happenes to the stones exactly once they've been used?" Maya asked.
"They do the opposite if used again. They will infest someone with whatever they were used to cure. For example, if you were to cure vampirism with one of the stones, then you used that same stone on a normal human, then that human will become a vampire, and the stone, once again, will become white and pure." Toraan explained, "There are many other uses, but I cannot tell you, and you MUST NOT experiment!"
Toraan looked at Maya seriously after saying that last bit, waiting for an answer.
(((Again, sorry for the long thread...)))

"Ok." I said vaguely. This was BIG. No, more, this was HUGE. ((we have to make it more than that, cos theres been too many opportunities when Maya would have mentioned it. I know... *grins*)) We walked back out of the tomb, both silent with thought. "Do you... do you want me to use it for Zeroc?" I asked. "That is up to you, and him." he replied. I rolled my eyes "Right." I sighed. "Farewell." He said rather abruptly, and disappeared, before i could say anythign else. "Oh fantastic." I snapped sarcastically. I magically transfered the stones back to my apartment, and kept walking, heading for the edge of the graveyard. Suddenly, a demon leapot out in front of me, and my head felt about to explode with the pain. I yelled out, but kept myself standing as he attacked. The thing's telepathy was bombarding my mind- he used his power as a physical weapon in an attempt to disarm me. I punched the bastard full in the face, and produced my katana, swinging it expertly and decapitating the demon. As he died, the bastards face looked utterly shocked- he clearly wasn't used to people being able to withstand his mental attacks. "Bloody demons..." I murmured, before collapsing. I awoke only minutes later, but i couldn't remember how the hell i'd got there... i remembered talking to Zeroc, agreeing to go to the spot... he went off... and then... nothing. I frowned, standing, and raising my eyebrows at the goo on the ground that was unmistakably melted demon. "Lovely." I grimaced. I shook my head, and started for the spot. ((viola. ))

(In the shadows, not too far away from where Maya was just attacked)
"Are you perfectly sure that she can be trusted?" Asked Raladus, from the shadows...
"I am sure that she will resist most temptation... she is strong willed..." Toraan replied, "but sending that demon to erase her memory was unnessisary"
"I still believe she can not completely be trusted. I did what I did for the good of our brothers, and for her..." Raladus ensured Toraan, "In the end, she IS a slayer, I must also protect myself!"
Toraan seemingly disappeared and Raladus walked off, deeper into the graveyard, to regain his powers further...
(Back to Zeroc)
I entered the Spot, now with skin, clothed and my arm concealed, looking around for, but not expecting to find, Maya...
'Ahhh, I thought she'd follow me! The temptation was too great...' I thought to myself as I walked back outside and waited for her...
The shorted time I could spend around these humans, the better...
I stood near the door, and looked around, trying to spot her, still waiting for her to walk out of somewhere...

I got to the spot still frowning in confusion, wondering what exactly had happened. Zeroc was waiting outside, looking smug. I stuck out my tongue, "Ok, you got me- i followed you... except i have no idea what happened after that..."

"Never to worry, I don't... mind if you knew what it was I did... but that is not something to converse over at this time... let us... enjoy ourselves" I said hesitantly, because it wasn't something I usually said.
We walked into the Spot...
"Well... that is something different!" I exclaimed, "I am slightly worried."
"Why?" Maya asked.
"There is no dark prescence here" I told her...
"So, why are you worried, no-one evil is here making plans or spying on us or something, for once, it will be a peaceful night!" Maya said happily.
"Yes, that is what worries me..." I said quietly, heading to a table and sitting down as Maya went and got herself a drink...

"So... let me get this straight." I said, coming back and handing him a beer, which he looked at with confusion,"You're worried cos for once the badguys arent our problem?" He continued to frown at the drink. i rolled my eyes, "Youdrink it." I told him. "but i dont need to..." "I never said you needed to- it just tastes good- try it."

"I have no sences, therefor I cannot taste it, you enjoy it..." I assured her...

"Except that things are changing, aren't they? Try it. Please."

I tried it.
"Nothing" I said, "Just because I have changed feelings, does not mean that I have changed sences... you can taste though, enjoy it, I insist! Besides you paid for it"

i sighed, and sipped my beer. I looked over at him curiously, "Do you ever wish... yknow, that you could experience things like this? Dont you wish you could taste, smell..." He shook his head, "I do not know what it is that i am missing, so i do not miss it." "But..." I said with frustration, "What about with Del?" "What?" "When you are near Aredhel, dont you wish you could smell her? Or feel her skin beneath your fingers when you danced?"

I thought for about it for a second, 'that could be...' Then shook my head rapidly and let out a hissing noise, but more humany.
"The sence of touch allows you to feel, feeling allows you to feel pain, to feel pain is to have a weakness!" I said, sounding very certain about it, "And even if I was able to small, I cannot breathe, therefor, I would have nothing to do with that sence."
Maya was kinda stuck in conversation, "You know, you make it very hard to keep a conversation going..."
"For that, I am sorry..." I apologised to her...
Three men walked in, holding machine guns, "This is a hold up, everyone on the ground NOW!!" One of them yelled.
The obvious leader was built, tall, wore black pants, shirt and a black leather jacket. The other two were slightly thinner and shorter and wore the same clothes. The leader and one of the others were bald. The other had very short hair, which was spiked and spray-painted red.
"I'll take care of this!" I whispered to Maya, "I want to have, what you'd call, some fun..."

[Well i want fun too.] i snapped back, though mentally instead of outloud. [so... we can both play.] I grinned at him, and stood up. "GET DOWN!" The men yelled. I pouted, "Oh... but... i just wanted to..." I walked slowly towards them, batting my eyelids, "I mean..." I giggled, "You're such big strong men." Everyone else was gaping at me, while at least one of the not so bright attackers grinned. I managed to get right up in front of the leader, biting my lip seductively, "Do you wanna go somewhere more... private?" I whispered to him. He gulped, and nodded, a nasty smile emerging. "Oh well." I said, suddenly flippant, thrusting a knee up into his crotch at the same time as grabbing, and snapping, his gun. "Too bad i dont."

One of the other men shot at the roof, scaring everyone (Well almost everyone)
I thought. Apart from Maya, I was the only one still standing.
One of the men went to kick Maya, she quickly dodged it. He held his gun to her.
I walked, slowely and aggressively, over to the men.
"You! Get down, or I swear over my mother's grave I'll shoot you!" He commanded, pointing his gun at me, while the other kept his gun at Maya.
[Whatever you do, please do not intrude...] I thought to her.
"Look, I don't want to kill you, but I will!" He said.
I kept on going. He shot a few bullets, which landed in my head. I stopped, my head was twisted sideways. I looked back at him. The bullets still embedded into my head. The came out and fell onto the floor, then the skin healed itself.
"What ARE you?" He asked. I started walking to him again.
"Ok, take him down!" He said to the other, who pushed Maya out of the way.
The emptied their clips on me as I continued to walk over to them, my body was flopping around as if someone was getting shot, but I continued to walk to them.
When I got there, they finally ran out of ammo and looked at me with terror in their faces... so did everyone else who was there.
I took one of their guns and snapped it, then looked at the other one. he ran in fear.
[I'll meet you across the road in 5 minutes.] I told Maya, mentally
As I left, I let no-one but Maya see me smile slightly.

((so is there still one guy left? I'll change this if im wrong.))
The last guy seemed rooted to the spot by fear. Zeroc walked past him with an amused smile, and i chuckled. "What are you waiting for?" I asked the guy, "You wanna tussle?" He looked at my with wide, terrified eyes and made a vague sort of squeaking noise, then ran. I guessed Zeroc must still have been standing outside, because i heard a shriek, before the guys ran back in, through the spot, and out the back. I grinned at the barman, who got up, and looked about to pass out. "Why do i still let you lot come in here?" He asked me. "Cos i buy lotsa beer and keep out the riffraff." I said, taking a seat at the bar and letting everyone else wonder whether they were meant to get up or not. The barman rolled his eyes and called out, "It's ok people, you're safe." He got me a beer, and sat heavily on the stool on his side. "Who was that guy?" He asked. "Huh? Oh, Zeroc- he's erm... complicated." "Yah." The barman said. I smirked. "Cheer up- at least the bar didn't get trashed. Hey! We stopped it getting trashed!" I exclaimed proudly. "Theres a first time for everything." He sighed. I chuckled. I downed the remains of my beer, and he shook his head, "Plus i'll never get how a little thing like you can drink so much and stay sober." "It's a thing." I shrugged. "See ya." I waved, and went out to meet Zeroc.

I watched Maya walk out of the Spot. I now had new clothes on, all the bullets were no longer embedded into my body, and my skin had healed.
I walked out to greet Maya. "So, are we going back to the Spot, or are we going to try out another place... for a... change in things..."
