   What's happening here, what are you doing in my room. The feminine figure covered in black cloth from face to feet's turned towards Helena in a defensive pose.
    I asked you what you are doing sneaking into my room like that. Helena dared, her demon hunting insricts awakening as she rushed towards the figure, reaching to push her, she fell hard unto the bed. The woman turned around quickly, ready to start throwing punches. Hearing the heavy sounds of snores and gibberish words, she smiled cockily, dropping her guard.
    Ooh. Lucia groaned, feeling dizzy, she massaged her head, dropping the last glass wine she held, she stuttered towards the stairs, almost dropping unto one of the hunters.
   Are you okay Celestial Lucia. One of the hunters enquired, with a befuddled expression.
     Yes I am, I'm fine, I just need to get some rest. She winced, limping on, the ground under her feet appearing to look quite shaky, the pillars moving from one point to another, she stumbled on air, holding unto one of the pillars for support.
   Would you like me to escort you to your room Celestial Lucia. The hunter offered again, reaching out to support her.
    No I'll be fine. She declined, dragging one feet after the other, the echoes of music fading in the background. Lucas stood at a corner watching her  try to make it for the stairs undeterred, not willing to succumb to the effects of the drugged wine. Half of the hunters were already dozing off on the dining tables and couches some still holding unto their wine glasses in the most undignifying way ever, excusing himself from the circle where he was being acquainted, he walked towards her slightly tipsy.
   May I help you to your room Celestial Lucia. Lucia turned weakly towards the voice, her once bright face looking drained, without saying anything, she wrapped her frail hands around his neck, feeling his steady hands around her waist, she let herself go. Lucas watched quietly,an unreadable expression on his face as he watched Simone scoop her in his arms.
