[Kerr]

Hastur kissed Steven and lay back down in bed.

Spoiler:

Morph and Steve. Steve cheat on lucy?

[Musicman247]

Steven walked to the door of his room and said, "Sleep tight." He then closed the door behind him and went across the hall to the smaller guest bedroom. He opened the door, went inside, and sat down on the bed. Ho-ly CRAP! he thought. He put his head down and interlocked his fingers on the back of his head. I can't believe I passed THAT up! He sighed slowly. I don't know how, but somewhere deep down, I must...love her.

Steven sat up on the bed again. He could look out the open door of his room and see the door to his own bedroom, where Hastur, wearing the lacey black underwear he picked out was sleeping. "Idiot!" Steven yelled before realizing how loud it would be. He covered bid mouth and looked around with wide eyes, listening for shuffling or movement. He didn't hear anything. He relaxed and stripped down to his underwear before getting in bed, pulling the covers up to his shoulders. He closed his eyes and tried to sleep.

Spoiler:

Steven is not Morph. Lucy owns Steven. They're not dating.

Lucifer tried to rap a tentacle around the Masked mans waist and chest.

[The-Shadow-One]

Aura was stopped by Delin, the Queen's bodyguard. "Halt there Lady Aura." He said, a hand on his rapier. "what is your business." The Queen was on the throne, her head in her hands. "Who is this man?" He said pointing at the lucid crossbow leader.
---
A door creaked from the walk-in closet, a glimmer of steel.
---
The tentacles wrapped around the waist of Mister Mask, but he lunged at Lucifer, his hands and nails changing into the claws of a cat.

[Musicman247]

Spoiler:

But Steven was just in the walk-in closet. Also, that would be where Hastur is sleeping, not me...

[The-Shadow-One]

Spoiler:

Steven did not look hard enough did he?

The glimmer of steel, the void of blackness moved over to where Steven was, Hastur would be the next after this human [&@%!].

[Musicman247]

Spoiler:

Steven is in the guest room where there is no walk-in closet. So is this mystery person in Steven's room with Hastur or the guest room with Steven?

[The-Shadow-One]

Spoiler:

He's moving to Steven, from the walk in closet. Expect him to [&@%!] up though.

[Musicman247]

Steven still couldn't sleep, the missed opportunity with Hastur bouncing around in his mind, making him feel like a good guy and an idiot at the same time. He turned over to his other side and opened his eyes, wondering if he should just go back. She obviously wanted to do something with him tonight.

[The-Shadow-One]

The glimmer of steel, slipped into the room, a crack of light widened a little, before disappearing just for a second.

[Musicman247]

Steven thought he saw something out of the corner of his eye. He propped himself up on his elbows and whispered, "Hastur?"

[The-Shadow-One]

Spoiler:

How's my description?
Good 5-4 Average 3 2-1 Bad?

The void of nothing ness stayed silent, menance rolled of her in waves.

[Musicman247]

Spoiler:

Right now probably a 3. I don't know what's going on, really, except a girl is now in the guest room with me.

Steven didn't see anything else, so he laid back down on his back, staring up at the ceiling.

[The-Shadow-One]

The glint of steel appeared quickly before vanishing, Steven felt and heard the headboard being struck with a heavy blow. The void of blackness slipped under the bed.

[Musicman247]

Steven bolted upright in the bed, heart pounding. He looked around, then at the headboard, trying to see what could have hit it. Thoughts of his baseball bat and samurai sword flitted through his mind. Too bad they were in the other room.

[The-Shadow-One]

As Steven bolted up he heard the faint rustle of paper. The void moved over to the window, flashing it open, moonlight flooded the room, a vague shape of a woman was seen against the light, blonde hair shimmered like glowbugs.

[Musicman247]

"Who are you?" Steven asked the woman. His voice grew hard, "Did you do that to Lucy?"

[The-Shadow-One]

The woman laughed. "Read the note." Said the voice, it felt like ash and sand. "You are warned."

[Musicman247]

Steven saw the note on the headboard, wrapped around the handle of a knife. "You could have killed me!" he said, taking the knife out of the headboard and reading the note.

[The-Shadow-One]

The note was written in red ink, and the smell of blood lifted from it.
You will stop investigating the Helms or face never ending fear.

[Musicman247]

Steven looked at the woman with narrow eyes. "They're already trying to kill me, so why would I stop?"

[The-Shadow-One]

"Lucy, the one that looks like her." the woman smiled. "People from your past, your family." She stepped forward. "They will suffer too."

[Musicman247]

"Okay, fine. I'll stop. I don't want to see anyone else get hurt because of me," Steven gripped the dagger tightly, not knowing what this woman might do.

[The-Shadow-One]

The woman smiled and stepped in close with Steven, he could smell the scent of roses and lilacs. She patted his cheek and walked off. "Good boy." She said before jumping out the window.
