~Koda~ ~"Who says I cant be afraid of the light"~ The young boy watched intently as Eureka moved from the path of light cast from the hallway to examine the many blinking and dancing dots and dials that littered the numerous electronics in the room, he had seen a small box that lit up in his chambers far below where he now stood that lit up much like these every time someone spoke through it he wondered if all these box's could talk to creatures.. but his attention was drawn back to the real world by a long dry heaved sob that broke his silent mantra of begging by Drow, Eureka had passed on the meal sparing his life, she seemed to understand something about him.. something more then Koda's mind could register even with all the centuries of life he had been granted his mind still remained that of a kid.. but his body served more purpose then his life in the boy's mind.
Koda took a step farther away from the doorway pushing aside one of the large metallic tables behind him with some difficulty, they weren't exactly huge but the material they were made of weighted more then Koda would have suspected.. he looked back to Eureka to make sure she was still away from the path of the light "pretty lady person, don't move for a moment please. If you make a shadow he might take you.." He shook his head hard enough to throw his hair side to side "You don't want that, hes not friendly"
He checked the floor once more around him before drawing in a lung full of air, As he did so the atmosphere in the entire room shifted the entire area gained a almost electric feel to it that caused the hair on humans skin to stand on end, the buzz of the clean florescent lights above became deafening before flickering a few times and going out, all the blinking lights dimmed almost to the point of going out leaving the only light in the room to be cast from the hallway aimed directly at Drow and the shadow on the ground koda cast when he originally arrived, it remained on the carpet as if burned in.
Sensing the shift atmosphere in the room drew Drow out of his break from sanity, his mind returned granting control of the mans legs back to him.. he ran his sleeve across his nose and cheeks in a long single swipe snorting loudly as he did so, motion from the corner of his vision drew his eyes to Koda's shadow, He didn't have time to think or scream his mind barely even had time to register the motion he observed as the boys shadow began to shift on the ground void of any connection around it, it raced across the carpet like a bullet slamming into Drow hard enough physically to lift his body off the carpet throwing him into the wall of electronics behind him met with the sounds of breaking plastic and cracked bones, the entire thing took only seconds but time had seemed to slow to a crawl well it happened.
Koda released the air he had taken in, the room lost its charge as he did so, the lights returning to illumination, the machines began to beep and turn again, however the chains that once bound Koda now were neatly coiled in a pile on the ground near his feet.. he lifted his newly freed hands opening and closing his fingers into fists smiling gleefully to himself as he did so.. it had been decades since he could move one arm without the other, he quickly flapped his arm's up and down like that birds he used to play with laughing a little louder now.. his moment of joy was halted when Drow's hands shot up grabbing onto the desk near where his body had come to rest.
They moved distinctly inhuman jerking violently straining each muscle to there max as they searched for something to grasp at before pulling the man's body to a stand.. the same dark ooze run from his skin as Koda only it ran from every inch of his exposed skin like slow rain, the more it ran out however grey smoke ran from his flesh coupled with the rancid smell of burning skin and hair.. slowly as skin began to melt away in small circles blood poured out mixing with the ooze as it ran down him skin to the ground, his eyes exactly like Koda's have been cast in a darkness that seemed impervious to the light and remained deep and dark.
His head turned violently to face Eureka with a resounding unmistakable snap met with a piece of collar bone ripping through the skin above it.. his face seemed to be locked in a everlasting smile as the flesh of his cheeks had melted away revealing the teeth and gums below.. "I know your name.." Genju spoke through Drow in a airy voice that invoked the feelings of the shadows he lived in "Your Eureka.." something inside Drow let out another resounding crack as a bone in his arm holding him up shattered..

Eureka watched him, careful to keep still as the boy tortured Drow. It was mortifying, a terrible and sickening sight. While Eureka had lost the majority of her sympathy for humans, watching Drow break seemed to evoke all her pity. She wanted to stop watching, to stop the noise of his bones snapping, and to stop the events in the world. However, this was the present and Eureka did not have the ability to stop time.
Her lips frowned as she covered her arms with her hands as she watched Drow melt in his skin. She shuddered, yet could not tear her eyes off the plaguing image.
Alas, Drow had spoken in a haunting voice. Eureka didn't speak nor move, frozen in her place. She stood, tense, as Drow smiled at her. He seemed to be a different entity from Drow and the boy, Koda, entirely. In place was some sort of being, who obviously seemed to know who Eureka was.
She let a breath release from her lips slowly, feeling rather powerless now. However, she uncrossed her arms and tilted her chin a little higher to not show this.
She closed her eyes, releasing another calm, yet large exhale and opened her eyes.
"It has been a very long time since I have heard my name. However, that is a rather informal way to say it," she commented. Her dark eyes seemed to hold a certain evanescence about them now, glowing slightly as she became a little more braver and bolder.
"I'm sorry, that's rude of me. You know me but I don't know you," she added.

~Koda~ ~"Who says I cant be afraid of the light"~ "That's Genju" Koda chimed in still playing with his freshly freed arms but quickly stopped and lowered his head to the ground well grinding the front of his left foot into the carpet like he was trying to crush some unseen bug under hit big toe, his smile faded quickly as he began to speak his voice becoming the most human it had been for Eureka yet. "The mean doctor people tried to kill me when I come but I tell them Koda can't die.. But they don't listen, they try to take my snake" He made a figure eight in the air trying to draw a snakes body and then pointed to chest gently tapping where his heart would be "but then Genju come's and everyone burns.. he's from me I think.. I think.. he's my heart.."
Drow's jaw simply dropped open hanging by a few thread's of remaining muscle meat on the side closest to the boy, it sung back and forth on the threads of flesh a few times almost hypnotically before snapping off with a audible pop dropping to the puddle of inky shadow ooze and blood formed at the mans feet, the purge of the mans flesh continued for sometime as he literally was eaten from the outside in by his own body, chunks of flesh slopped off bone into the shadows melting away quicker then if it had stayed with its host, veins and arteries burst as if some unseen pressure cut off circulation until they could not contain them anymore sending some wiggling off like a garden hose with nothing left to hold them in place.. when the smoke finally stopped Drow had been stripped to the bone devoid of any flesh including the marrow inside, what was left simply dropped to the ground into a pile covered by what was once the mans work cloths.
With no flesh left to consume Genju left the bones behind returning to Koda unseen traveling through the darkest corners of the room, The young boy moved towards Eureka once again this time with a light footed silence as he walked, he paused momentarily to look down at his heels which bound his freshly returned shadow to him.. "I don't think he know's you pretty lady.. Gen is old but he doesn't talk to many people, hes not friendly.." he looked around the room once more at all the beeping and blinking machine's this time with a glimmer of knowledge in his eye "Drow man Calls these thing's com-pu-ter.. but he doesn't know what they all do.. he's not allowed to touch them all" his eyes locked to the jacket on the wall that once belonged to Drow "In that jacket doctor man has a" Koda stops for a moment as he struggles to articulate the strange word to him "Ka-he Kha-ard, it opens doors that Drow can open, but he can't open all doors.."

Eureka watched Drow stripped of his flesh, the being named Genju the cause for such a mortifying death. She looked to Koda, who seemed innocent enough. Genju, to her understanding, became a defense mechanism for Koda. How Genju came to be and how Koda gained such abilities were at a lost to her. All she knew was that her own blood, her body, was used as a model for...this. It was all because of what she was, and volunteering herself to come here because she was weak served as a catalyst for the suffering of others. She bit her lip, saddened by this.
However, seeing Koda talk gave her an odd feeling. Like she was watching her child. Her brow furrowed, and her old memories piqued a little. She dismissed them quickly and turned to the mentioned jacket.
Computers and key cards made no sense to her. Yet she dug into Drow's pockets for what what Koda tried to describe, only finding lint, a smooth yet durable rectangle of some sort, and a crumpled piece of paper. She paid no attention to the paper, more amazed by the smooth plastic. It held a portrait of Drow's unsmiling face. It seemed to contain information about him. She glanced back to the pile of his body, which was no longer identifiable now, and looked down to the card. She didn't understand the concept of photography yet; she had lived in a time where cameras didn't exist. Painting portraits was the only way to know what you looked like without looking in a mirror. She had thousands of portraits taken of her in her lifetime; they all once hung on the walls of her home.
She gazed bitterly at the picture taken on the ID, amazed that such a painting could look so realistic. Nonetheless, she turned to Koda. "Do you...know how to use this?" She didn't seem to know this boy's name either.

~Koda~ ~"Who says I cant be afraid of the light"~ "the doctor men here called me a vampire.. but not normal.. they did something wrong, I don't understand it all when they speak.. only get bits and pieces."
The young boy held out his hand to take the card from Eureka, when he spoke again he mimicked her voice
"Koda can steal they say, I only need to hear it to use it, I take apart of you and it becomes mine"
His face became heavily flushed as he realized he had just admitted to taking a piece of Eureka without asking her, it wasn't like he had a choice in the matter it would have happened anyways, he couldn't bring himself to look her in the eye anymore.
"But when Genju takes you, he gives me everything that was you.. he takes the flesh but I get the mind.. " he used Drow's voice this time "I can see everything Doctor man could see now though.. The Doctor man didn't suffer Gen killed him before he ate, Doctor wasn't bad he didn't need to suffer."
the electronics Genju had slammed Drow into whirred its final mechanical noise as Koda spoke in a bout of good timing to further illustrate just how hard he had he been thrown into the wall, it fizzled a few times tossed a few sparks into the air then died quietly.
Sometime during talking he decided he didn't actually want to take the card from Eureka, he had no where to store it any more then she did, and instead took two piece's of paper from a nearby desk, quickly folding one into a square that was about the same size as the card she held, taking the other piece of paper he folded both ends to each other making a large V then swiped his card through the valley like Drow did in his memories.
"you go like that at door's in a shiny thing on the wall.. made of the same stuff as these tables then it makes a noise and door open's all on its own.." Then something in Drow's memory stopped Koda from talking, confusing him well beyond anything he had seen in this room so far, his face scrunched up as he tried to make sense of what he saw to no avail.. giving up and sallowing his pride koda looking back to the girl before him hoping as someone older she would make sense of it.. it occured to him however as he almost asked her that she had not even known of the key card, there was no way she would know what he had saw.
"eli..vate..oar" he muttered to himself in his own voice..

His attempts to correlate himself intrigued her. So that was what his ability was? Eureka smirked a little, closing her eyes. A little of her? So it seemed. His ability and Genju's were equally a curiosity. She would never know the dynamics of it though; she was intelligent but not a genius. She shook her head.
"It is fine. I understand."
However, it was one word in particular that made her unnerved. Vampire. She shivered, disliking the word. She looked to him. A vampire...To call this boy that...It was a little cruel. What a dirty word to call someone. She hated being called one even though she knew very well she wasn't one. No, Eureka was not a vampire. She refused to think that, and in her head, she wasn't the beast that most people in her time called her.
She gave him a look of reassurance, and took note of the card's qualities. A swiping motion needed to take place, it seemed. Eureka still continued to be amazed at the advancement of humans. They were smart little creatures who seemed to create such mechanical devices. It occurred to her how out of date and place she was. She now held her hand out for the card, looking at the door now. A device was attached to the side of the wall. She guessed that was where this card was used and looked back to the boy.

~Koda~ ~"Who says I cant be afraid of the light"~ Koda handed her back the card almost quicker then she could put her hand out, and followed her eyes to the door and back to himself before nodding.
"Umm Miss Eureka lady.. if were gonna leave.."
The boy's face went beat red as he motioned to her wagging his finger up and down.
"Other doctor people will know your not one of them if you go out like.. uhh... that. I don't think Doctor man's cloths will fit me, I don't like cloths anyways.. but you are a adult type person, they wear cloths in this place.. the doctor people anyway's.. Drow man see's a few look oldish people, but human old not us old.. they in cloths that cover all there skin.. can't move or nothing, they up and up though only what he calls darkest stay with us."
He ran towards the door sticking his head out into the hall way looking down in both directions before spinning back on his heel to Eureka..
"Drow see's these things that look like paintings only more real.. but they move.. like us.. and people watch them, they come from little box's on the ceiling and people sit and watch them lots and lots of them of them.. I Think I see one out there looking towards the door, if it sees us.. more people will come, people with.."
the boy skrunched his forehead again trying to pull words from Drow's memory, to him it was more akin to getting drops of liquid out of a juiced orange then just remembering..
"Something called a Gun, they kill people with them, I think they used them on me before.. they look different.. bigger.."
He a look of worry began to dawn on his face as he looked out to Eureka from across the room, He knew they hadn't be able to kill him after they turned him into whatever he was, they hadn't figured out how to kill him anymore then when he first arrived.. But that was him, what about her, he didn't know anything about her other then she seemed powerful.. old people were always powerful he had learned but would a gun kill her he wondered.
((sorry for the short post.. im writing it in kinda a hurry..))

By this time, Eureka held the card in her two hands, rubbing her fingers over the smooth surface. She had never felt anything like this before, never seen anything such as this. She was no longer in a world she knew and now had to rely on a boy who didn't know much of the world either. She was forced to take what Koda said to be the truth and had to trust him.
She felt slightly uncomfortable with the boy using her name though. No, that wasn't it. It was more like she had not heard her name spoken in what seemed like centuries and those who did call her by her first name were very few. She shivered, her heart flipping. Her memories surfaced a little, memories she would rather not think of at a time like this. When she had more time to sit down to think about her memories, she would do so, but not at a time with a skinned man, a bag of bones, and two naked people in a room.
Eureka understood his embarrassment. She looked down at her bare body, unfazed by her nudity. She knew walking around in this type of facility nude probably didn't sound very smart. The only difficulty here was knowing and finding what to dress for. "Clothes?" She didn't know of any clothes that would fit this time period.
As for what he explained after, she was even more confused and shook her head. The only thing she understood was the gun. Guns. She knew of their danger and what it represented to her. She couldn't imagine what kinds of guns they had in this day in age but the guns in her era were life threatening.
She knew now, being what she was currently, she was vulnerable to a gunshot. She wondered herself what would happen if she were shot by one. However, she kept her doubts away from Koda. She did not know the boy enough to show her weaknesses just yet.
She moved closer to the door, playing with the card in her hand before looking at Koda.
"I...don't understand. And clothes..." She took the jacket and put it over her quickly. "Until I know what people wear these days, I don't have much to wear," she murmured weakly.
