Salia's point of view again.

We had just finished eating when someone started pounding on the back door. I was still in shock from the news of my Inner Demon and jumped when I heard it. Then came a voice pleading to be let in.  By then dad was at the door. He cracked it open and peered out. After a few minutes of back and forth conversion he let them in. It was a guy, about Lux's age with black hair tipped in gray.

A/N. This is kinda what the new guy looks like. Just imagine black tipped gray hair instead of mostly gray.

Ridgey ran over to investigate and the guy nearly had a heart attack

Ridgey ran over to investigate and the guy nearly had a heart attack. I had to drag Ridgey away and the guy looked around. My dad was asking him several questions but before he could answer them the guy passed out.

Giyla started squealing "I know how to nurse people back to health. Put him in my room. I'll take care of him!" she chattered. I rolled my eyes as I tugged Ridgey to the garage. Dad and Lux picked up the new guy and carried him upstairs to Giyla's room and put him on her bed. She took of his shoes and socks and then turned to all of us.

"I need help. These dirty clothes need to come off and he needs to be wiped down. We can check and make sure there's no bites or anything else serious." Mom and I stepped forward. We could help clean him up. Mom held him upright while Giyla and I took his jacket and shirt off. Lux stepped over to help strip his jeans off and laid him back down in only his boxers. Giyla ran to the bathroom and got a bowl of water, soap and some rags.

"Who wants to help? He'll need to be wiped down to be able to check for bites." Giyla asked as she placed the bowl on her nightstand as she started wiping his face.

"I'll help." Mom and I said as we reached for a rag and began wiping down his arms.

As we cleaned him we saw numerous cuts and scratches but no bites thankfully. "Lux dear, would you mind bringing an extra set of clothes so he'll have something clean to wear? He'll need a shirt, some boxers and shorts or sweatpants please." my mom asked as she finished wiping him down. As I picked up his pants to move them a wallet fell out. Giyla snatched it up and opened it.

"His name is Trylan and he's from this town. He's twenty-four and has brown hair and green eyes." she read off his license. Then she looked at him. "I like his hair color now to be honest. Stylish and edgy. I hope He wakes up soon." she sat on the edge of the bed next to him and ran a wet rag over his hair. Lux came in with the clean clothes.

"Me & Mr. Winthrop can change his boxers. Then y'all can finish getting him dressed." he said setting the clothes on the foot of the bed. We walked out, mom carrying the dirty clothes.

"I'm gonna get him some water and something to eat for when he wakes up." Giyla said as she hurried down the stairs. I was shocked to see her actually wanting to help someone other than herself. Just as she walked back up the stairs Dad and Lux walked out.

"Good grief. His boxers were almost glued to him and stunk to high heaven." Lux gagged while Dad looked queasy.

"We just threw them out the window cause they tore so badly as we tried getting them off." Dad gripped. He shuddered in disgust as he walked downstairs in search of Mom.

"Does he still need his shirt and shorts put on? Or did you two do that already?" Giyla asked as she shifted the tray of food for Trylan. "If not I'll need help. C'mon hurry up." she urged. Lux and I followed her inside her room and I helped her slip his shirt on. Lux picked him up and both of us tugged his shorts on. The whole time I was helping with him I heard Kyta growling and snarling in protest. She obviously didn't like being this close to another guy at all. I snickered at her protests.

'We'll be done in a little while. Then Giyla will care for him and we won't be around him unless we have to.' I soothed her.

'Hurry up. He's not our Kepta. Don't like him. Something is not right with him. Something is off.' she grumbled, but grudgingly calmed down.

We finished quickly and Giyla practically threw us out the door and slammed it behind us. "Well...that was interesting." I joked as I headed back to our room followed closely by Lux. Once there I felt a strange sensation and smelt the most delicious sent. My favorite two scents ever. Pinewoods and genuine weather wore leather. I looked around trying to figure out why I was smelling it. I started following my nose till I got to Lux.

"Why do you smell like that? Like pine trees & leather?" I inquired.

"Its another thing that has to do with our demons and the whole Kepta thing. When we meet our Kepta they carry our favorite scent. And another thing, when we kiss I taste my favorite flavors. You might taste yours on me, or you might not. It depends on your demon really." Lux explained as he sniffed my hair. He made his way down to my neck and placed a few kisses before pulling back.
"Lupin says you need to learn quickly so we can allow our demons to meet each other. And so we can meet each others demons." Lux said as his eyes started to try and darken. "He say if you wish you can meet him and learn from watching me how to control Kyta. But you cannot stand right by us nor can you touch us till we give permission. He hasn't been out in a while and ever since we've been here he's been wanting out to meet you himself." Lux explained to me.

I nodded my head. "Yes. I'm ready to meet him. I'll stay back. I swear." I promised

Lux stood up and began to transform, allowing Lupin to come out.
