Direâ€™s nose filled with a scent he had not known â€¦. He knew of manâ€™s scentâ€¦ and of the dead.. he could not see the dead or hear them.. due to being an â€œascendedâ€ hell hound (like fallen angelâ€¦ but from hellâ€¦ striped him of his ability to see or hear ghosts but he can smell them). His nose flaired a few times before the brilliance of his left eye opened and narrowed.. he was scared and unsure of this new scent.. it was alive.. it was male.. and it was something he didnâ€™t knowâ€¦ yet there was a lotâ€¦ he didnâ€™t know.. he didnâ€™t understand humans.. or human habits.. he knew how to walk talk and look like them.. but that was it.. he was all houndâ€¦ most like a gigantic wolfâ€¦ of deathâ€¦ he growled some and heaved from his bedâ€¦ looking aroundâ€¦ he crept against the walls slowly.. walking not breathjing (since he was dead tech he didnâ€™t have toâ€¦) he froze when he saw the blonde hair.. and smelled the scent of the small girl on this.. human like creatureâ€¦.<br/><br/>â€œcould.. he be like meâ€¦â€ he whispered to himselfâ€¦ wondering if another creature masked themselves as a humanâ€¦ he wanted to be accepted so badâ€¦ and this.. may be his chance.. though.. he looked to his arms where he had been laying in the bed. His black muscles were showing and the brown rotten bone stuck out in places.. he whimpered and sat down his large fluffy tail wrapping around his leg-â€œnoâ€¦.â€ he whined softly to his arm and hid it in his jacketâ€¦ he looked at the place his tar-like blood was rolling down his bear chest and whimpered trying to wipe it away.. his eyes though only one could be seen filled with crystal looking purple tears and rolled silentlyâ€¦.â€pleaseâ€¦. noâ€¦.â€ he whispered again rubbing his eye and looking as more â€œshedâ€ happened and that arm was now rotten flesh and slightly showing bone as the clumps of good skin fell to the ground.<br/><br/>He sat and focusedon his body whimpering and whining softly like a hurt pup. He was frightened.. and not sure what was going on other then someoneâ€¦ had .. come to hisâ€¦ territory.. and he didnâ€™t want them to leave.. or be afraidâ€¦.he was glad his muzzle was on at least to hide his horrible breath and lava drool which he couldnâ€™t control. He started trying to put the clumps back on his arm.. he hadnâ€™t eaten enough to have the amount of magic to put the illusion back upâ€¦ none of it was real.. its just how he wanted to be seen.. btu it took a shit tone of magicâ€¦ actually in the hell hounds the more human or animal like you look the stronger faster and more alpha-like you wereâ€¦ and for Dire.. thisâ€¦. Was everything he wished he had someone to enjoy just how strong he was.. but he was horrified of anyone wanting to touch himâ€¦<br/><br/>He looked at the stone beside the sleeping creature and saw some of his tar there.. his ears lowered knowing he had taken a meal there two nights before.. just some off the shoulder.. he didnâ€™t want to hurt the spiritsâ€¦ or anything or anyoneâ€¦.but.. he needed to eat.. the poor thing was skin and bonesâ€¦.<br/><br/>Slowly silently he walked overâ€¦ and picked the creature up without problemâ€¦ growling in a way that made one sleep.. a blessing of the hell hopund for those who die in their sleep.. he carried him to his bed and laid him in itâ€¦ and backed away leaving â€œshedâ€ on the maleâ€¦ and in the bed as he backed up and hid behind a tombstone watching whimpering softly as he worked.. managing to fix the illusion enough to hide all of his missingâ€¦. Places.. but he would have to eat.. and he would have to eat.. a lotâ€¦ to keep this upâ€¦
