Vynz shook his head, speaking the first part quickly.

"It wasn't Vy." His gaze drifted down now, his eyes falling on the book in his hands. He ran his fingers across the cover pensively before opening it, flipping the pages gently. He didn't answer he question for a long time. Eventually he came to a page where he stopped, staring at it for a long time. He spoke slowly.

"I visited her often, but I did not spend my entire time in Germany with her presence obviously. We are twins, but we are not conjoined." He sighed softly, still staring at the ink.

"I am the Bennu bird, the Heart-Soul of Ra, the Guide of the Gods to the Tuat." He gazed steadily at Suri as he quoted this phrase from the Book of the Dead. Vynz knew it by heart. After all, once upon a time it was his name. He moved on, creating his next part - continuing with metaphor.

"But the Bennu Bird is death, only a guide to the underworld. He may marvel at Isis, but she will forever belong to Osiris." The man leaned forward, turning his journal around, laying it open for Suri to look at. On the right page there was a carefully drawn portrait of a German female with a name written underneath in Egyptian scrawl. Then again, everything even on the other page was written in Egyptian.

"Once upon a time, I was sweetheart to the murderer."

Suri gazed at the book only a moment before nodding slowly, eyes wondering over the man before her.

" clarify."

Yep, a rather vague response and one that could apply a million ways, but that was all she had to say upon the matter. he was presenting millions of different bits of facts, and not presenting them in a clarity that made sense... therefore....

Vynz sighed slightly, climbing off of his bed and shutting the two doors behind him. He held the journal out to her.

"I was just remembering some things I had forgotten, and I guess it must have come out pretty jumbled." He walked over the chair and sat staring at her intently.

"I was living in Egypt at the time. Vy was in Germany. When I was visiting my sister, I met a woman - that woman, Rosaline." He gestured to the portrait.

"She a manticore, with years even beyond my own. Best I figure, she was curious with me. I was the first vampire she had ever met. I think that is why she followed me home the first time. She was only with me in Egypt that once, for a few days. But there was an accident, one that she actually induced. I was exposed. But then, I was amazed, because Rosaline fixed it. She spun a story likening me to the Bennu Bird. 'The Bennu Bird is life, and the Bennu Bird is death. It exists beyond itself, brought about by its own words,' she said, and then she stabbed me in the stomach to show it would not kill me. 'The Bennu Bird is merely a guide, a passing from this world into the afterlife,' she said. They believed her, and I was not only allowed to live as a known vampire in the midst of humans, but they - in a strange sort of way - worshiped me." He ran his fingers through his blonde hair, furrowing his brow at the memory. He didn't want to go in to details about it, at least not now.

"I was quite taken with her for some time." He shook his head.

"But in that funny way that life goes, she grew bored with me, and turned her attentions to another man. I was stupid then. I insisted on pursuing her, trying to convince her heart of me." He smiled bitterly.

"That was the only reason that I discovered what she had been doing. I stumbled into her basement one day, looking for her. I found her in the process. I was the one who helped that lad. After all, no human can escape a manticore without either marvelous mercy or luck, you know... I was disgusted with her, and after a day or two, we parted ways for good." Vynz looked down to the hourglass.

"The suspected the woman faintly, but were convinced otherwise. 'No woman could have committed those crimes, surely!' they thought. They looked at the records kept and laughed nervously to themselves, 'It was definitely not her! No woman can write or keep such explicit record!'" The vampire shook his head slowly.

"I had entirely forgotten about Rosaline until just now."

" So now, given the denial of woman being possible to bring the earth to it's knees, if they so well please...... Your the next logical answer due to your the only person that fits the bill."

She rationalized with a faint sigh.

" Men seem to get in more trouble...", Suri mumbled as she considered the man before her as her mind worked, soon opening her new bag and playing with many of he new things, hesitantly picking up the silvery wooden object, swishing it around as it's slender lenght cut through the air with ease.

" Only a few of many options truely open to you here, what outcome are you after, in this instance? Do you wish to pay for her crime, just as the past man did, or...?"

Vynz actually laughed now.

"If you're asking me if I still have feelings for her, then yes. I feel nothing but sourness for her. The defamation of the dead is horrible, if you want my opinion." However, there was a brief emotion about his eyes, a tiny little flash. He was nervous. But for plenty of good reason.

"I don't want to die, but I can't think of much else I can do about it."

" Oh, there is always an alternative."

Suri replied with a small smile now placed upon her lips.

" Now, of course would be simply how you'd like to go about it. That hourglass is merely telling you teh free time you have until they come and start attempting to kill you. I should tell you from the only angle of personal experience I have with them is that they hardly always succeed."

she purred, smiling as she stood now, placing bottles in her backpack, slipping the wand into her pocket.

" So, being you'd like not to die, I'd best tell your sister I'll be absent for a bit.... i don't see anyone warding off these people without at least some form of assistance."

Vynz looked at her critically.

"You don't have to get involved. I mean... I don't want to... Are you really that bored?"

suri laughed and a small smile firmly placed it's self upon her lips.

" Your my favorite new person. That takes alot. You are easily my greatest form of enjoyment, and I'd rather like to keep that as it is. Therefore, I'll more then happily offer whatever assistance I might be able to contribute."

Vynz stood up and scratched the back of his head.

"Uh... Thanks?" He didn't know what to say, so he reached for his phone, sending Evynna a text.

I kidnapped your tenant and employee.

Vynz pressed her thin lips into a line, glancing away.

"I don't want her to get involved..." And he left it at that, glancing down as he received a text back.

I KNEW IT! LYING BASTARD CHILD, GIVE HER BACK!

If I'm a bastard child, what are you, twin? Yup. Despite appearances, they cared about each other. Or at least they claimed to.

" I find it amussing that you portray kidnapping me. ... "

Vynz laughed softly.

"Perhaps my definition is little more fluid than most people's." He flipped shut the phone, tossing it into a desk drawer.

Vynz cast her a glance, not bothering to answer a silly question like that one. He grabbed a coat out of his closet and then slipped out of his house. He stood on the doorstep, looking at her for a long moment before handing her his coat.

"Germany."
