Before the Two Years:
Upon entering the room, the first thing anyone would notice is the dozens of old porcelain dolls lining the walls on shelves. Some are fairly new, others as so old the color in their dresses has turned brown with age and cracks line their faces.
The bed is decorated in purple and blue sheets with black thin drapes surrounding it so one could just manage to see through it. There is a side table of red oak with a purple lamp on it. The lamp's shade is colorful and leaves designs on the walls from the light inside it.
A tall book shelf sits between the two windows covered in dark purple drapes. Its filled with black notebooks, some as old as some of the dolls. They are all hand written, memoirs so to speak of the past and present.
All in all, it looks very much like a childs room, which is not so strange since Lucca is a child in size. However, there are no toys lining the floors or posters of unicorns and blue skies.
The oddest thing about the room is an orange ball of fur resting comfortably on the bed. It sticks out like a yellow daffodil amongst the roses. The ball of fur is breathing, slowly as though sleeping.

After the Two Years:
The room is relatively the same though now dust covers the table and shelves. A few of the dolls have somehow managed to fall onto the floor leaving obvious spaces where they once rested. Their eyes are glazed over and not just from dust but something else as well. A few even have their eyes closed.
The curtains over the windows have been removed to be replaced with white ones and the bookshelf that rested between the two windows is bare. The bed is missing as well though there are signs on the floor of where it had once been.

Lucca moves into her room, still trying to figure out what she has forgotten. Closing the door behind her, the orange ball of fur on the bed sits up. "Rest some more." she says to it. The ball of fur curls up once more. Lucca sighs as she sits down in one of the chairs by the bookshelf. "What have I forgotten..." she says softly to herself.

After puzzling the thought for some time, Lucca stood and moved to the small dresser near the door. She pulls out her night gown and changed, still wondering what she had forgotten. Hoping some sleep would help, her folded up her dirty clothes and set then inside a basket. Crawling into the bed, she lay on her back, staring up at the 9 black bird wind chimes above her head. The orange ball of fur stretched out, yawning a bit and the purred as it curled against her. "It should come to me." she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Kalika walked down a dim all, she noticed the child go into her rom. Well at least she thought it was her room. She wore a smile upon her face and crept over to the door. Kalika listens to the child talk to herself and her smile grows. She then takes a step back and casts her senses. When she is sure that the child it well asleep Kalika opends the door gently and looks around the room. The first thing she notices are the many dolls lining the wall. Kalika quietly walks over to them and looks at each one carfully. She new that these dolls are worth alot of money. She stops walking once she came upon a doll that looked almost new. 'beautiful' she whispers. Kalika turns slightly and looks at the sleeping child, making sure she wasn't awake. She then reaches out and takes the doll off the shelf and places it carfully in her black leather shoulder bag. Kalika looks at the doll for a moment and decides that would make a fair trade for the amount of money she needs. Walking down the line of dolls towards the door she notices yet another outstanding beautiful doll. Kalika carfully reaches out to take it but as she did she notices the orange ball of fur. She thought that it must be a cat, a sort of phobia of hers. Kalika pulled her hand away so suddenly that the doll tumbles and falls off the shelf. It smashes on the floor and bits and peacesscatter across the ground. Kalika half walks half runs to the door. Quickly without caring of being quiet she opends the dor and runs out. She runs down the dim lightend hall.

Lucca opened her eyes and sat up. The orange puff ball stood growling. "What's wrong?" She asked, climbing out of the bed. The orange puff ball jumped off the bed and sprinted for the door. As it ran, it grew so it was about the size of a leopard though it was completly orange with black ears. Yes, it was a feline and it went to chase the woman down. "no no, stop." she said to the feline. She placed her hands together and lower her head, mumbling something. "Return!" She looked up and the two dolls return to their places on the shelf. "I will have to get some sort of protection spell for these." She looked at the orange feline who had shrunk back down to cuddleing size.

Kalika came to a halt when she felt that her bag was empty, she opend it and sure enough the dolls were gone. Kalika looked around for a moment woundering if someone had stolen then off her. "s**t" she mutters out loud. Kalika paces up and down the hall for, thinking of something that she could steal. She was angry that the dolls were gone "I would of made alot of bloody money".

Lucca had gone back to sleep after returning her dolls to their shelves. Now, some time after, she opened her eyes in a cold sweat. Sitting up, she brushed the blood tears from her eyes and sat silently within her bed. "Zuri." the orange feline poked its head out from under the bed, its black ears twitching to the sound of her voice. "I bet your hungry, lets go get something to eat." Zuri purred happily and jumped onto her shoulder as she stood from the bed and, after wrapping her dark violet robe around herself, moved out into the hall and downstairs.

Lucca had returned to her room after a nice shower and now sat on the bed, brushing out her long silver hair. Zuri slept comfortably on the other side of the bed, snoring loudly. Several of the dolls on the shelfs turned their heads towards Lucca and stared at her with glass eyes. "Lucca you look upset." One of the dolls spoke without moving its lips. "Yes, Lucca, tell us what is wrong." Another spoke. Lucca pulled her hair over her shoulder and started to braid it. "There is nothing wrong, I just feel out of place, I supose." One of the dolls by the window developed an angry expression. "Out of place! Rubish, Lucca, rubbish! You are just not trying hard enough." it shouted before its face returned to that pleasent state. Lucca ignored the doll as it continued to babble and argue with the other dolls. The room filled with voices other then Luccas.

She pushed open her door and was surprised to see Cervan sleeping. She stared at the multitudes of sleeping dolls before relizing she still needed a soul for the one. She moved to the bed and sat on the edge. "Well this was a very interesting day." she thought to herself. She looked at the sleep Cervan and questioned her true movites for creating him. She would have to ponder this another time. She stood, changed into some fresh new clothes before leaving the room. She wondered down the long hall for a few before reaching the stairs.

Lucca now entered her room. She had looked for a short while for Cervan and when she could not find him, she decided to wait in her room. She now stared at the many many dolls around her room. They spoke softly to each other, mumbling things from their past to those next to them. Lucca smiled as she went to change. She was pulled out a simple pair of black dress pants and a light purple ruffled shirt. She was about to fold her dress when she heard the door close. Turning, she stared at Cervan. "Have you no respect? You should knock before entering someone's room." Lucca said as she folded the dress and put it with some other clothes. Cervan moved forward, moving his finger along one of the dolls porclain faces. They had stopped talking when he entered the room. "Lucca..." he started then paused, grabbing the doll and smashing it against the wall. The soul within the doll rose up and disappeared.

Lucca was horrified. "What are you doing?!" she hurried to the broken doll. "Are you mad?" She turned to him. He knelt before her, taking the pieces of the doll and tossing them about the room. Lucca's eyes flashed red and back again. Cervan sighed. "You care more about these stupid dolls then you do about me." he said standing and turning his back to her. She stared up at him from the floor. "What are you talking about?" Cervan grabbed another doll. "I'm talking about these dolls...at first I thought it was because you were my younger sister...but I have learned something different." he drops the doll on the floor. Once more the doll's face crackes and its soul rises into the air and disappears. Lucca stands up, glaring at him. "You are hurting them! Stop this!" He grabs another. "No..." he drops it.

This time, Lucca is right there, doll in hand. "You have gone too far." she sets the doll in its place before grabbing Cervan. "Are you going to kill me? Because I would rather die then be with you." she stares at him and a memory of her brother flashes before her. She drops him and steps back. "Get out! Get out of my room before I kill you." Cervan picks himself up and leaves quickly, without a second glance to her. She stares at the broken doll on the floor before bending down to pick it up. She looks at the other pieces of the first doll. She holds the second broken doll in her hand, staring at its now lifeless eyes and tears stream down her face. She holds the doll close to her, rocking back and forth slightly and crys.

Cervan walks up the stairs and into Lucca's room. He pauses as all the dolls turn to him, staring at him as he moves to the bed and sets her down. Sitting on the bed next to her, he watches her in silence. To him, she was still a kid, no matter how she acted. He felt this more so when she was asleep as she was so child like. He could hardly understand how she could be a vampire and be so much older then he.

Standing he turned to leave the room when she extended her hand and grabbed his wrist. He turned to her. "Lucca?" bending down, he checked to see if she was awake. However, she was still sleeping and he could not find the strength to pull himself from her grip. "Well this is just..." he sighed and sat back on the bed.

After a while, Lucca's grip loosened on his wrist and he pulled himself away. "Wonder how long Arianna will wait..." he said to himself as he tucked Lucca in and then moved out of the room and downstairs.
