Pyran found himself walking along a familiar track. His paws easily kept their ballance on the train rail, the metal cool underpaw. It was night in the desert and temperatures had dropped. Pyran's trenchcoat swept up around him as a stray wind brought a wave of sand over him. Then it was past, Pyran unphased. His hands were clasped behind his back as his blue-green eyes surveyed the scene around him. From the sand up to the large rising curved moon, Pyran took it all in. He was alive now. And for what? Still he had no answer. What was the point in living? What was the point in dying? He didn't know, may never know. Until death took him, at least. Then he could face it head-on. Or could he? Would he run and hide in shame? Maybe. He'd find out. He was worrying too much.
He stepped off the track and paused to dig his feet into the sand. About an inch under the sand was still warm from the day. Pyran stayed for a moment before walking on. Somewhere around here was the lab. And also, somewhere around here, would be Relka.

The door towards the lab's staircase, closed as it had been for the past two weeks or so. Now covereved mostly by the sand from recent storms, only the handle sticking out, still rusted but like always the door unlocked for anyone to just walk in. Oddly, it had seemed like a large cargo train had come by here recently. A very large one, the tracks were scratched here and there from the wheels of a train that must've left a few days back.
Relka, came up behind Pyran. Well, more like she lunged at him, not meaning to hurt him but... Surprise him. "Finally!" She yelled, as soon as she did it, she was hoping he wouldn't get hurt in the process.

"Mreow!" Pyran was suddenly sent falling forward, hitting the ground hard. His paws were then scrambling for purchase in the sand, trying to claws his way out from under the robotic cat. "Augh! I've been ambushed!" he shouted, tail fluffed out. His struggles were in vain and he finnally held still, casting a narrow-eyed look up at Relka. "I think you broke my back," he muttered, though really he was quite fine.

"Sorry, I didn't man to hurt you." She got off, him then quickly helped him up, doubting that she had broken his back whatsover. She thought, that he was fine. "You kept me waiting you know, maybe next time you go somewhere I should go with you. Just to mak sure you don't take to long." She stretched and yawned.

"What can I say? It's impossible for me to have a normal day, I'd swear. I ran into this flaming dog and a hedgecat all bloodied in an alley and I had to patch 'em up and drag the hedgecat over to the hospital. Shoulda taken the mutt too, but he was being stubborn. Anyways...so what's up?"
He grabbed her arms gently and pulled her into a rough hug before stepping back and looking uneasily at the hatch door that sometimes still haunted him. He did not wanna go in there...

"Nothing really, it looks like the lab computers have been used recently. But nothing was changed, now come on! Jut talking to oyu now is taking forever!" She grabbed his hand and pulled him over to the doorway, lifting it open and pulling him down the steps. "I know, you don't want to go down here but just dal with it, I won't do anything to ya anyway. Is that what your so worried about?" She asked, looking back at him with a smile, and a gleam in her eys.
((Sorry for the powerplay Tails...))

((Heh, that's hardly powerplay. ^_^ ))
Pyran pulled back for a moment, his teal eyes wide and frightened, his feet braced against Relka's pull. His teeth were firmly clenched in a grimace.
Then his eyes flashed down at her at the question. "No...I know you wouldn't, it's just...ulgh, this place gives me the creeps." He let a shiver pass through his body from his ears to his toes. Then and only then did he follow Relka down. You just never knew what could happen. Anything could happen. And Pyran would rather have liked to stay as far away from this cliff as possible.
The lab was unchanged, as Relka had said. Bits of glass still covered the floor from Pyran breaking through the machine.

"Don't worry hopefully you won't have to see too much of this room." The computers lined up beside the machine still displayed "ERROR" In bright red, but there was no alarm sound this time, so it must've stopped working.
She led him to a door on the side of the room, she pressed a few numberson the keypad beside it. The door slid open like it Sci-Fi movies, inside was a computer room, it also had a few screens that were cracked or dusty displaying other rooms, the main room, a kitchen, and what looked like a halway lined with cells on one side. "There's just something I wanna check." She let go of him, and walked up to the computer. She begun typing in some stuff.

Pyran's ears were flattened as he cautiously entered the room, his fur starting to stand up as his eyes darted back and forth, and especially along the cells. He supressed another shiver and started walking around uneasily, wondering what else this place could have in store.
"Hey Relka?" he asked as she worked. "What exactly happened to this place after you left? Did everyone die or...?"

"When I left..." She continued typing, bring up different windows and such. "This place was already empty, blood was here and there, that was about a year ago..."
She stretched and yawned before she continued, glancing back at him. "There used to be people here, and from what I can remember from before being killed in that machine I was kept upin a cell most of the time."

"Hm...so these people, are they still around, any of them?" Pyran would rather like to find them just to 'convince' them that these researches weren't worth their trouble. He came back around to Relka, leaning over her shoulder to look at the screen. "And what ya lookin' for that's so important we had to come back to this forsaken dungeon?" Again his eyes flashed towards the cells and back. "I don't know how you can stand it...didn't it hurt just as much for you?"

"Of course it hurt, I... I can still remember the pain from the machine." She continued typing, then another window came up. It had records, dates and information... on her. Even pictures of her, and other things about Relka and what they had been using her for.
"I wanted to find out a little more about myself... and possiby other projects that were made here." She glanced back at him, a saddened look in her eyes. There were tears under her eyes as well. "Pyran, you wouldn't leave me for anyone else would you?" She asked, her voice emotionless and sad.

Pyran frowned suddenly, one ear perked up along with his cocked eyebrow, the other ear flattened. "Leave you? For some other stupid she-la?" But Pyran took his time, sitting down with his back against the table where the computer sat. He rested his arms on his knees and looked calmly up at Relka, though his thoughts kept circulating. He might as well get comfortable, she was bound to take a while.
"Ah, how to explain..." Pyran didn't like explaining. He didn't like gushing words out, it took too long and could never suffice, never really tell the plain truth. Besides, this was bound to get awkward really fast. "Look. When I was...undead, if you will, I didn't really get you. See, I didn't feel attraction or anything really. I didn't get what you saw in me, and to me you were acting kind of stupid following around a mass-murderer and actually liking him. But for some reason, I started to like you back. I don't know why. It wasn't quite attraction, not in the way that the living first feel it. It wasnt' lust. The only lust I had was for death and blood. But it was nice having you around. I didn't understand it. Then when I came back to life I guess I started feeling attracted again, if you will." He waved his hand vaguely, his face flushed. "It was confusing, sorta. I still liked you, I liked you with or without having...mortal pulls. I don't know, I guess in my life before I died I hadn't really thought like that. A girl was cute, that was all she was good for. Remember Cyan? That was all I saw in her was a cute girl, that's why it went so horribly wrong. But I saw something more in you, and I keep seeing it every time I look at you." He spoke honestly and with a tad bit of surprise--he couldn't believe he'd just laid his thoughts flat out like that.
He flushed again and looked shyly away, giving an awkward grin. "Is this making any sense or am I just talking gibberish?"

She smiled and purred, her normally unmoved tail flicking slightly. "It's making sense, heh. Nevermind anyway, It wqas just a stupid thought in my head." She continued typing on the computer, then she brought up a word file, one that covered most of the screen.
Now that we had to abandond this lab, because of what happpened with Relka after we "changed" her, and how my partner was murdered, we have to make a few things right first. We've already asked G.U.N to kill off her father, besides there providing funding for our corparation, they liked our projects!
Anyway, her brother, heh, we split his soul. Don't wonder how, we just did. Half of it went into the Sky System, and the other stayed in him. Heh, he lost alot of memory. We dumped him in the forest afterwards, heh while the Sky System will be off to the G.U.N HQ soon.
Hopefully though, nothing bad happens. The fire was a journal of one of the scientisits, there was one slight problem. It as made a few a months back, even thorugh this place had been shut down for a year or so.

Pyran twisted around to read the file as well. His ears were perked up in surprise. "A brother? Soul split...I don't like the sound of that." He flashed his eyes up at Relka, looking to see if she was going to have a breakdown. Girls did that sometimes, you had to be prepared. "Do you think...the half that stayed with him, could he live like that?" His ears flattened slightly. Pyran wasn't observant by any means, so the date didn't even register. But he did want to help Relka, his eyes still desperately searching hers for signs of what he should do, the perfect next move.
