"S'il vous plaît laissez-moi le faire pour vous. Vous avez besoin de se faire dorloter, comme tout le monde. (Please let me do this for you. You need to be pampered, just like everyone else.)" Holden said as he went to the closest store. He entered the store and instantly saw the cutest pair of shoes, that would go perfectly with the dress that Melody was wearing. He walked to the shoes and grabbed them, "Celles-ci vont très bien avec cette robe. Que pensez-vous? (These would go great with that dress. What do you think?)" Holden asked looking at Melody.

[Evil Tink]

She looked at the shoes, tilting her head a bit as she thought, "Ils ont l'air..cher...je ne pouvais pas accepter ou de vous permettre de les acheter.(They look..expensive..I couldn't possibly accept or let you buy them.)" She held one tenderly, as if it were glass, as she looked it over.

[Bovice]

"Ne vous inquiétez pas, ils sont seulement 200 €. (Don't worry, they are only €200. {$235.35})" Holden said with a smile. "Vous avez besoin de chaussures, s'il vous plaît laissez-moi les acheter pour vous. (You need shoes, please let me buy them for you.)" He said begging a little bit. He watched her look over the shoes, he could tell she wanted them. Holden started to hum in enjoyment.

[Evil Tink]

Melody looked up at him, slightly worried, "Et-etes-vous sûr? Je veux dire...200 € est...be-beaucoup...selon le Maître au moins ...(Are you sure? I mean...€200 is...a lot..according to Master at least...)" She gently set the shoe back down. She couldn't let him buy her something so expensive. She was not worth it.

[Bovice]

"Oui j'en suis sûr. Pour lui, € 200 en avait beaucoup. Pour moi, c'est rien, je suis assez riche. (Yes I'm sure. To him €200 was a lot. To me it's nothing, I am quite rich.)" Holden said with a smile. He put the cover on the box and put Melody down. He grabbed Melody's hand, "Venez. (Come.)" He said gently pulling her to a case. There was a lot of beautiful barrettes in the case. He pointed to one of them, "Celui-là s'il vous plaît. (That one please.)" He said to the lady.

The lady smiled and grabbed out the barrette, she handed it to Holden.

He grabbed it and took off the tag, he turned around and kneeled down. He smiled at Melody as he gently clipped it into her hair. He stood up and nodded to the lady, "Allons voir qui il ressemble sur vous. (Let's go and see who it looks on you.)" He said as he again gently grabbed Melody's hand. He led her over to a mirror, "Que pensez-vous? (What do you think?)" Holden asked with a smile.

[Evil Tink]

Melody simply nodded following him along, "Si vous le dites...(If you say so...)" Her eyes widened in wonder as he pointed to the barrette he wanted to see. Her mouth dropped as he clipped it in her hair, eager to see how it looked. She followed him to the mirror and gasped. She turned her head to the side a bit to get a better look. She adored it, but she took it out with a frown, "Je ne peux pas vous permettent d'acheter pour moi. Je ne le mérite pas...Je n'ai pas le gagner.(I can't let you buy this for me. I don't deserve it...I didn't earn it.)" She hesitantly handed it to him and looked down, grabbing onto the dress and fidgeting with it.

[Bovice]

Holden sighed as he took the barrette back, he kneeled down. "Chérie, oui vous ne le méritez. Vous méritez la gentillesse des gens, sans avoir à attendre quelque chose en retour. Vous êtes une belle jeune fille, qui mérite une vie meilleure, puis ce que vous aviez. (Honey, yes you do deserve it. You deserve people's kindness, without having to expect doing something in return. You are a beautiful girl, who deserves a better life then what you had.)" He said with a smile. He brushed the hair out of her face, "How can I explain this? Umm, J'ai été abusée. Non dans la mesure où vous avez été. Ma mère m'a frappé avec toutes sortes de choses, et m'a crié dessus. La dernière conversation que nous avions, elle m'a appelé choses horribles. Parce que je suis gay, je n'ai pas laissé que de perturber le bonheur que j'ai trouvé avec Salomon. (I was abused. Not to the extent that you have been. My mother hit me with all kinds of things, and yelled at me. The last conversation we had, she called me horrible things. Because I am gay, I didn't let that disrupt the happiness that I found with Solomon.)" He said with a small frown.

"Bref, assez de la tristesse. Je veux que vous avez cela, il vous rend plus belle. (Anyway, enough with the sadness. I want you to have this, it makes you more beautiful.)" He said with a smile as he put it in Melody's hair. "Là, maintenant laissez-nous aller acheter ce genre de choses. (There, now let us go and buy this stuff.)" Holden said with a grunt as he picked her up and walked back to the case to grab the shoes.

[Evil Tink]

Melody simply nodded, knowing it was futile to argue with him. "Je suis désolé que vous vous blesser la mère comme ça...mais au moins vous eu le plaisir de la connaître, même si elle a été un mauvais moment. Je ne sais rien de mes parents, la famille, ou même mon vrai nom...(I'm sorry you mother hurt you like that...but at least you had the pleasure of knowing her, even if it was a bad time. I don't know anything about my parents, family, or even my real name...)" She did feel a bit awkward being carried, but she had no shoes. Who knows what was on the floor. "Salomon est celui qui me hait...pas vrai? Pourquoi veut-il me haïr? Je ne voulais pas vous faire mal...(Solomon is the one that hates me...right? Why does he hate me? I didn't mean to get you hurt...)"

[Bovice]

"Je suis sûr que vous trouverez plus d'informations sur le réel vous, après un certain temps. (I'm sure you'll find more information about the real you after a while.)" Holden said with a smile. "Son nom est Salomon, oui. Il ne te déteste pas, il est juste sorte de colère contre moi pour s'impliquer. Me faire mal n'est pas votre faute, j'ai choisi cette voie et j'ai eu la punition que je méritais. (His name is Solomon, yes. He doesn't hate you, he is just kind of mad at me for getting involved. Me getting hurt wasn't your fault, I chose that path and I got the punishment I deserved.)" He said as he put his credit card on the counter.

Felix landed next to Holden, "Your Holden right?" He asked as he unblocked the lady.

"Yes I am, and who are you?" Holden asked looking at the man.

"Oh yes, where are my manners? I am Felix Augustin, Seth sent me to help you with your Clairvoyance." He said extending his hand.

"Well it is nice to meet you Felix, but I am kind of busy at the moment." He said awkwardly shaking Felix's hand.

"Yes I see that. But it will only take about an hour or so." He said with a smile.

"I guess you can tag along, I'm just gonna be shopping for a little while." He said with a small sigh. "Melody, c'est Félix. Il est l'ami de l'homme qui vous a aidé plus tôt aujourd'hui. (Melody, this is Felix. He is friends with the man that helped you earlier today.)" Holden said showing Felix to Melody.

"Il est agréable de vous rencontrer Melody. (It is nice to meet you Melody.)" Felix said with a smile and his hand extended.

[Evil Tink]

Melody jumped a bit as the man appeared and began to speak to Holden. She assumed it was English again..she recognized the accent to be the same as Holden's and Seth's. She tenderly took Felix's hand, shaking it slightly before quickly pulling it back, "Et vous aussi ...?(And you as well...?)"

[Bovice]

"Ici, vous allez monsieur. Et merci à vous pour faire du shopping avec nous. (Here you go sir. And thank you for shopping with us.)" The lady said with a smile as she handed Holden a bag and his credit card.

"Votre accueil. (Your welcome.)" Holden said as he grabbed the bag and his card. He walked over to a chair and put Melody in it, he grabbed the shoe box and opened it. He started putting on the shoes, "So how did Seth know I had Clairvoyance?" He asked as he finished putting on the right shoe.

"Well Solomon told him. Then Seth asked me to help you. So here I am to help you." Felix said with a smile.

"Huh, well this shall be fun. So I take it you are gonna be rooting around in my brain." He said as he finished putting on the left shoe.

"Yes and no. Clairvoyance is quite difficult to master, I have been a Strigoi for 20 years, and I still haven't mastered it." He said with a small sigh.

"Well hopefully you can help me then. I don't like the dreams I am having." He said standing up. "Êtes-vous Melody faim? Il ya une étroite café mignon petit. (Are you hungry Melody? There is a cute little cafe close by.)" He asked holding out his hand, and putting his card back into his pocket. Holden headed out the door.

"So your in the dream phase. That is really interesting. I didn't start the dreams until I was 5 years after the change." He said pondering for a moment. "Solomon must be very strong then. To have the dreams a few months after the turn is rare. Now I really am going to have root through your brain." Felix said following Holden.

[Evil Tink]

Melody wiggled her feet in the shoes and stood, moving her feet outwards, then inwards. They were rather adorable~ She looked up to Holden, taking his hand in hers, "Uumm...pas vraiment pas.(Uumm..not really no.)" Something was obviously bothering her. She looked around, a slightly worried look on her face as she moved closer to Holden while keeping away from Felix as well. She didn't like being around all these people. The only time she could stand to be in a crowd was when she was singing...and so, she started to hum one of the songs she sang the night she met Holden, Room of Angel.

[Bovice]

Holden smiled as Melody started to hum the song she sang at the club, " ♫ Vous mentez silence là, devant moi
Tes larmes ne signifie rien pour moi maintenant
Le vent hurle à la fenêtre
L'amour que vous n'avez jamais donné
Je vous donne

Vraiment ne le méritent pas
Mais maintenant, il n'y a rien que vous pouvez faire
Donc, le sommeil dans votre mémoire que de moi
Ma très chère mère. ♫ ( ♫ You lie silent there before me
Your tears may mean nothing to me now
The wind howling at the window
The Love you never gave
I give to you

Really don't deserve it
But now there's nothing you can do
So sleep in your only memory of me
My dearest mother ♫ )" He sung along with her humming.

"Holden I must say you have a very nice voice." Felix said with a smile.

"Je n'ai pas que de bons d'une voix. (I don't have that good of a voice.)" Holden said to Felix, still in French mode.

"Yes you do." He said still smiling.

"J'ai l'habitude de chanter à ma fille, avant qu'elle... (I used to sing to my daughter, before she...)" He said trailing off. Holden didn't know why he was still speaking French, but he felt better not leaving Melody out of the conversation.

[Evil Tink]

She paused a moment as he sang, "Vous savez Chambre d'Ange? Et vous avez vraiment une belle voix Holden.(You know Room of Angel? And you really do have a nice voice Holden.)" She glanced around again. People were staring now. She frowned, hiding behind Holden, "Po-pouvons-nous...al-aller s'il vous plaît?(Can we...go please?)" She couldn't help feel a pang of jealousy as Holden mentioned a daughter. He didn't look all that old, but who knows with vampires.

[Bovice]

"Je ne le sais parce que vous l'avez chanté au club. J'ai une mémoire photographique, je me souviens de tout. Au moins pour le moment. (I only know it because you sang it at the club. I have a photographic memory, so I remember everything. At least for now.)" Holden said with a small sigh. "Merci pour le compliment, je joue aussi du piano. Huh, je n'ai jamais dit que Salomon. Et oui nous le pouvons. (Thank you for the compliment, I also play the piano. Huh, I never told Solomon that. And yes we can.)" He said as he turned around. "Soit dit en passant, je n'ai jamais demandé cela, mais, quel âge êtes-vous Melody, et vous à Félix. (By the way, I never asked this but, how old are you Melody, and you to Felix.)" Holden asked slightly intrigued.

"Je suis soixante-dix, j'ai été refusé lorsque j'étais cinquante. J'ai le pouvoir de me faire refroidir l'air jeune ou vieux. (I am seventy, I was turned when I was fifty. I have the cool power to make myself look young or old.)" Felix said as he still followed Holden.

[Evil Tink]

Melody walked alongside Holden, gripping his hand tightly, "Je...euh je ne sais pas...Maître toujours dit qu'il n'était pas important...Il ne m'a enseigné le français, et les chansons que je devais chanter.(I..umm..I don't know...Master always said it wasn't...important. He only taught me French, and the songs I was to sing.)" She kept her eyes on the floor, watching as her shoes came into her vision, then left as the other one brought her forward. It was rather interesting...so see such new and shiny shoes on her feet.
