"I have a potion for anything and everything," Natayla smiled. "What kind of 'condition' does he have? You don't have to be nervous," she reached out and put a hand on his shoulder much like a big sister would. "All of my business is confidential."
She had noticed the colour change in Terra's eyes when she had angered him, but at the time she didn't think anything of it as she knew many vampire'ss and halfbloods who did the same.

Ven felt a bit more confident as he answered. "Well, all three of us are half-bloods but we're half High Elf," he explained. "Terr's half dark elf...he had these...episodes where he just snaps. It's usually when he gets angry or fights but he just looses it and he...he's unreal. He took down two dragons at once when he was like that. But..." He paused, looking down at the floor. "That's not my Terra. He would never act like that!" He said, very sure of himself.

Natayla looked at Ven gently. She knew just the thing to help him, but it would take her time to create. It was a tricky potion, but nothing Natayla couldn't handle.
"Don't worry Ven," she said. "I have a potion that can help him. Come back in a few days and I will have it for you. In the meantime try to keep Terra as calm as possible and think of a way of payment. I doubt you have enough money for this."

Ven nodded but was unsure as to what she meant by payment. If he didn't have any money, how was he supposed to pay it? Wasn't money the only thing to pay for things around here? But Natayla had mentioned blood earlier...he mentally shook his head. If it was for Terra, he could do this. "Alright...how about some of my blood? Would that work?" He asked, also trying to think up other ways of paying her.

"Blood would suffice," Natayla nodded. "But if you're uncomfortable with me biting you, I could use an assistant for a short period of time. Mostly at night when my Biters come in."
"Biters is what Natayla calls the vampires who drink from her," Hades provided.
"Although I would very much enjoy your blood," Natayla joked. "Elves rarely come here asking to be bitten."
"Being bitten my a vampire, even a halfblood, is a very pleasurable experience." Hades informed.
"But I will let you decide how you would like to pay me," Natayla said with a dismissing tone. "Now you better hurrying and catch up with them before you get lost again."

Pleasurable? Ven thought for a moment before he heard Natayla's voice again. "Alright. Thank you," he said, bowing quickly and then running off to catch up with Terra and Aqua.
Terra rose an eyebrow as Ven fell into step beside him. "What was that all about?" He asked, slightly concerned.
Ven shrugged. "Nothing much. Just had a quick question. That was all," he answered, cryptically.
Aqua looked at him but Ven just returned it with an 'I'll tell you later' look.

Natayla laughed lightly as Ven ran off to catch up with his friends. The smile faded a little as she went back to work. Half of her time was spent in the front selling potions and making appointments, the other half was spent biting, being bitten, or making the potions in the back. Needless to say it was a very long, draining (pun intended) night.
"Don't forget you need to order more ingredients." Hades reminded her as she walked into the potion room for the hundredth time that night. "I'll go get the list for you."
"Thank you Hades," Natayla yawned. "I don't know what I'd do without you."

Terra, Ven and Aqua returned to the house they were currently living in. It was a fair size, enough for three bedrooms, two bathrooms, living room, kitchen, dinning room...okay it was the equivalent to a mansion. Having a High Elf for a master paid big.
Aqua took off her armor, stretching her arms. "I'm going to call Master," she said, walking into the kitchen.
Ven turned to Terra when she was gone. "Terra...are you okay?" He asked, his voice hesitant.
Terra pulled off the pieces of armor on his arm as he sat on the couch. "I'm fine...why wouldn't I be?" He countered, unclipping a few clasps.
Ven sat across from him, pulling off his own protection. "Well...that scene with the vampires...you seemed to be really...tense," he continued, not wanting to hint at anything to do with Terra's dark elf side.
Terra shrugged. "It was nothing, okay?"
Ven was about to add something when Aqua came running into the room. "Guys...Master Eraqus has disappeared!"

By the time Natayla had gotten off of the phone with her contacts the sun was already starting to rise. She stretched and walked up the stairs to her living area, Hades following close behind. The upstairs of the shop was purely for Natayla's needs. It had a bedroom, bathroom, living room, and a kitchen. It wasn't very big but with only her and Hades it was more than enough. Not to mention there were a few spare rooms downstairs.
After getting into some pajamas Natayla crawled into her coffin and slept the day away.

The three reasoned that there was nothing they could currently do, since it was two in the morning and all. They decided to get some rest and think through a plan about how to find their missing Master.
Ven yawned as he woke up, looking at the clock to see it was a bit past noon. He went downstairs to find Aqua was still asleep. Even though she was a girl, she seemed to sleep in a lot but she had probably been up late trying to make up a plan. He turned the corner to see Terra putting on his armor.
"Going somewhere?" Ven asked, already knowing Terra's answer.
"I'm going to find him," he responded, not even looking at Ven as he put on the smaller plates. "Master didn't just vanish. Something's happened," he continued.
Ven gave him a look of sympathy. "Terra, we agreed that we would do this together. I know you looked to Master Eraqus as a father which is why-"
"Which is why you must let me do this!" Terra shouted, turning to face Ven. They both looked into each other's eyes before Terra's softened. "Please Ven...I don't want to loose him."
Ven sighed, closing his eyes. "Go."
Terra smiled, moving to the door when a hand grabbed his wrist. "Be careful," Ven said, not looking up at his friend.
Terra nodded. "I will." With that, he left the house, leaving Ven alone to decide how he was going to explain this to Aqua.

During the day Hades handled the shop. The regulars were used to seeing the talking cat and the new comers were absolutely astounded. By the time the sun began setting he was curled into a ball beside the cash register. Natayla came down at 12 and scratched Hades behind the ears.
"I'm going to call Ven," Natayla told him. Before she went to bed Natayla had figured out their number, being a witch had its advantages.
So Natayla dialed the number and listened to it ring. When someone answered Natayla spoke. "Hello this is Natayla from Curses and Charms. I wont be able to start the potion until later tonight when my order comes in? Exactly how soon do you need it?"

Thankfully, it was Ven who answered the phone. Aqua was out, trying to find Terra and/or their Master. "Well uh...we do have a bit of a situation, I guess you could call it," he started, sitting down at the kitchen table. "I guess as soon as possible is okay...when I actually find him..." he added the last part as a mutter.

Natayla let out a small sigh. "Let me guess. Something went wrong back home? Come by the shop and I'll find him for you."
