"Well...?" Riki questioned as he looked ahead, he wanted to know where, and he wanted to know how. His mind was on this 'I've seen you before' thing, he wanted it away. So he stopped, let his hand go from hers and opened a dark grey door with carved figures of angels and a human woman, one angel in particular was Riki himself. Everyone knew each door from the bottom all the way to the top had a storey, not one was plain, but the carvings... all done by him, his memories, his life and his past. The very top of his mansion was never seen, not one servant or soul has been up there to see what had been carved, Riki himself didn't intend to see it once more, he'd always stay on the level his chamber was and below, never went above.
Anywho, Riki opened the door and there set was a dining table, quite big for one lonely man, skeleton servants had set up the table for two and awaited with the assigned seatsat their hands.
"Well come on" Riki slightly smirked hearing her heart beating in a quick pace as he walked in leaving her in the dark hallway.

Paige walked along close to him, even though he had let go of her hand She looked at the statues and looked at the girl with curiousity, Paige looked around to ask Riki who she was but found herself alone in the dark hallway She heard his voice not far and looked towards the door. Paige practically ran to the door in fear, She saw his smirk and glared "That was not funny." She turned around and went towards the chair, but as soon as she saw the skeletons Paige stopped in place and ran into Riki's arms "They don't bite right?" She muffled into his chest

Riki's hands weren't touching Paige but she was touching him, her head at his chest. This narrowed his eyes. He looked down. Then images sneaked through his eyes as his mouth slightly dropped, he gulped and licked his lips.
This... is so familiar... she could be setting a pay back for what I did to her and everyone she somehow 'loved' The black winged angel thought as he stayed leaning back them returned back to reality with a smirk.
"First, no they don't bite, they're as friendly as my reptile friend like before, what's worst in this house lies upstairs, so don't go upstairs, farther than the level your room is, which is this." He stated quite strictly and left Paige there for her to be ready to move, Riki's wings slightly shook as a few feathers fell.

Paige saw a few feathers fall from his wings and pouted She let go of him and bent down to pick up a feather "Its pretty" She turned back to the Skeletons, Paige took a breath and smiled at them. She sat down on the chair and rubbed her eye's, as she waited for him to be seated she spoke "So who was the girl in the hallway? well I mean the statue girl" Paige set the feather down next to her plate and looked towards Riki.

Riki looked down as he took his seat, the skeletons took a step and disappeared off to another job.
"Hmm...?" Riki looked up to Paige and cleared his throat. "Just someone a while back..." he explained quickly, he didn't want to explain it, that's why those doors were created.
He picked up his fork and stabbed the tender, perfectly cooked meat and lifted it closer to his lips, then stopped and looked up at Paige that had still looked at him. With a sigh he placed his fork down and added, "... she use to be someone special to me, but she betrayed me going with another...."

"Oh...maybe she had a reason..." Paige didn't know why those words came out of her lips, but she couldn't stop them. She looked down and picked up her fork and knife and cut them into tiny pieces, a tiny smile flickered over her lips when she remembered her brother, but shook those memories away and looked back up at Riki.

Riki shook his head but took things to his thoughts instead, he picked up the fork and placed the piece of meat inside his mouth and chewed on its flavor.
Once he gulped it down he looked up at the opposite seat across the table where she ues to sit but faded.
"She did..." Riki sighed and began to explain, he didn't know why but he felt as though he could open up to her as if she was someone he knew since... forever...
".. well she told me it wasn't possible that she and I were together because of our species, then I discovered she was to wed. Then I massacred them, she lied to me. Why could someone like her love me and love someone else along the way. I became a dark angel because of her" he growled as his palm closed into a fist and he banged it on the table being careful it would not break.

Paige winced as he pounded his fist, She hesitated before she spoke "You...killed her? it wasn't her fault for loving two people, she couldn't help it...what should she have done?" Paige's words came pouring out before she could stop them
It was like she couldn't control the words coming out of her mouth, Her eyes tore away from his gaze she looked down at her food and took a small bite.

Riki calmed down and unclenched his fist and began to eat again.
He hadn't said a work since then... And once he was finished he placed the napkin over his lips and wiped any sauce or crumb left over. Riki placed the napkin on the side and cleared his throat, he drank the red wine, or so it seems to be, but truthfully it was blood, only he was able to drink that.
With the glass at hand he looked at Paige and asked, "SO is that what all female humans do?"

Paige was a little taken back by the question "No, No they don't judge all the women in the world just because of past experience with one person" She spat out coldly. She took her last bite and sighed "Sorry" She mumbled, She excused herself and got up.
Paige opened the door and stepped into the dark hallway, She took a breath and walked through, but not before taking another glance at the girl. Paige was about to take a step up the stairs but recalled what Riki had told her Great...now how do I get up there... She sat on the bottom step with confusion roaming in her eyes.

Riki sighed and stood after he had gulped down the remaining drop of the crimson liquid, he sighed and took a step out the door and into the hallway, he had turned to stare at her figure, the woman he once loved. His hand reached up to touch the statued figure, but before his finger was able to feel the little face, Riki had pulled his hand away and sighed.
"My story had begun because of you... Was this all a plan? Was this all your doing?" Riki spoke to the figure, he knew that she couldn't reply in her after life, he knew he had done the biggest mistake. Riki shut his eyes tight as his hands returned to a fist and looked away, he turned and sighed.
"... Did you bring her here?" Riki opened his eyes and asked, that's all he did, ask a figure that wouldn't be able to speak back, he was talking to himself or freaks sake. He sighed and walked on ahead, Riki hadn't forgotten about Paige, but he'd see if she'd break his order to not reach upstairs to find out his 'story'.,

Paige looked back up at the stairs and argued with herself Hm...Go up, scream, and almost get my body taken away by a soul or stay down here look like an idiot, and say sorry again... She brought her knee's up to her chest and looked down at her shoes in thought Maybe I could get a skeleton to come with me upstairs.... A smile pasted on her lips.

Riki arrived at nearly the 10th door of this level of the mansion, this door had obtained the picture of his father, his mother and him, this was then ruined by the picture of the man above.
"The time I was punished...." He muttered, Riki shook his head and arrived at the other end of the mansion where another staircase was, it was the way to go upstairs. He rubbed his chin and stared up the bat-filled stairs.
"Maybe its time I should reach upstairs to claim the true memories..."

Paige looked around for a Skeleton, soon as enough she was getting impatient "Uhm Anybody? Skeleton uhm help?" She mentally slapped herself, but a Skeleton appeared in front of her, she jumped back in surprise only to land on the stairs "Ow..." Paige mumbled, She looked back up at the Skeleton and sucked up the fear in her voice "I need help getting upstairs, mind coming with me?" She asked politely, The Skeleton nodded and headed up the stairs "Wait!" She ran after him close behind
Once they were upstairs she sighed in relief. She stepped into the room and went to the bathroom to look at her reflection, her cheeks still had a pink hue upon them, while her hair was up into a ponytail she let her hair down, her red lips were now dark red, probably because she had been biting her lip a lot Paige sighed, Regret roamed around her stomach when she realized she had probably pushed the limit to far about the girl at dinner.
Paige opened the door, and stepped outside trying to see if Riki was around. "Riki!!" She shouted, and looked around the two deep hallways beside her.

Riki was halfway up the next level when he heard his name. He arched a brow and muttered, "Did she really go upstairs?"
He flapped his wings and flew about 50km straight away, keeping it steady, he could fly faster but he had to hold it in. As he went left and right he looked around till he suddenly stopped to find himself in front of her.
"Ehm.. What are you doing up here?" He questioned slightly politely as he foating above the ground, he was looking down at her confused, his wings at a calm flapping rhythm.
