Chapter 7
On January, 15th a knock was heard at Ronnie's door. Ronnie, at the time, was relaxing for the day and almost didn't answer the door. He got up and sighed. "This better be good…" He opened it to see a young boy with medium length hair, yellow eyes, and tan skin. He was wearing a black shirt with blue Jean's and he had a duffle bag over his shoulder. Ronnie's eyes widen as he caught the boys scent. "Excuse me but are you Ronnie Tanaka?" Ronnie nodded. "I am." The boy handed him a letter. Ronnie opened it and read it. He frowned and sighs. "I see. Come in." The boy nodded and walked in.
At Frank's home, Danni was sleeping with her 7th month belly poking out. Frank was in the kitchen making her a wake up snack. Her phone was with him in case Lucifer or any of the other employees at the night club called her to come into work. He heard it ring. Sighing he picks it up and answers. "Frank. Its Ronnie. I need you to bring Danni over her as soon as you can. It's about Samuel." Frank frowned slightly "alright I'll bring her over" he said hanging up.
Taking his finished wake up snack, he headed for his bedroom. Reaching it stepped inside. He walked over to Danni laying there sleeping. Sitting down beside her "love wake up"
One of Danni's eyes opened slightly. "Mmm…Food?" frank chucked "your father called, we have been summoned... it's about Sam..." Both of Danni's eyes opened and she sat up. "Sam…" She bit her lip as she tears up. "We need to go there now." Frank smiled "alright let's get you up and head out, taking the crab sandwich of course"
Reaching Ronnie' place, the door was unlock so they walked right on in. There they saw the young boy and Ronnie sitting down. Danni stop as she caught the boys scent. "Samuel…" She says tearing up. The boy looked at her. "Danni take a seat." Danni nodded and sat down holding Frank's hand. Frank sat down with her holding her hand.
Ronnie held up a letter. "I like for you both meet Joseph. Samuel's son." Danni's eyes widen. "He's…Samuel had a son!?" Joseph looked down. "In this letter. Apparently Samuel met a human woman but he left her when I called him back for duty. He did not know she was pregnant. Fearing how the world would treat a half human half wolf she hid any knowledge of him." Danni looked at Joseph. "I cant believe he had a son…and he didn't even know it. Half human to…How old are you?" "I'm 16 but I turn 17 in March." He says.
Danni looked at Ronnie. "And the mother?" " Mother passed away a few months ago due to a illness. She refused to get treated." Joseph says. "When she died my grandparents sent me here saying that I would be taken care of better…I guess…" Danni gets up, with the help of Frank. She then sits down next to Joseph and hugged him. Joseph's eyes widen. "Samuel left someone behind." Danni says crying now. "He left a son and didn't even know it." Joseph was confused by what was going on.
Danni pulled away and smiled with tears running down her cheeks. "Your coming home with me!" Joseph blinks at her. "Excuse me?" "I'll adopt you and you can come stay with me and Frank!" She looked Frank. "You don't mind do you honey?" Frank chucked "of course not love, the office room is still empty we can make it his room and also enroll him in the high school"
"Wait…are you sure this is okay?" Joseph asked looking at Danni's belly. "I mean you got a baby and all. I don't want to intrude. Plus, wasn't my dad a lowly guard or something? Why go far for a half breed like me…" Danni smiles "Oh sweetie. Your father was more then just a lowly guard. He was one of my best friends and mentors. He was my father's left hand man and he was highly trusted by everyone he met." She rubbed his cheek. "I don't care that you're a half breed. I wouldn't care if you somehow ended up fully human. You are family with us now." She rubbed her belly. "As for kids well you don't have to worry about that. I have a daughter who is 16 who is dating a vampire. I adopted a human daughter and son as well. So this family is full of mixture. You wont feel alone anymore okay?"
Joseph nods. "I guess so…" Danni looked at Ronnie. "That's fine with you Papa. Right?" Ronnie nodded. "Yes, I accepted Joseph into the clan as soon as I opened the door. You will adopt the last name of Tanaka." Danni smiled and hugged Joseph. "Great! Now we need to quickly enroll you into school so you don't miss to much and you have to meet Oichi! Your new younger sister!" She gets up, pulling Joseph with her. "Come on Frank! We gotta move! I want some food to! Like a lot of seafood to!" Danni says glowing from happiness. Frank chuckled "alright love, I'll make you some lobster tails and punch of breaded shrimp" he said getting up, he bowed his head "thank you Ronnie" Ronnie nodded. "Take care." He says waving.
In her domain, Valeriea was mediating over the water. In front of her was the necklace Lucifer had given her as the trade for his daughters life. The necklace had the remaining bits of her magic. When she was captured long ago, Lucifer had 85% of her magic sealed with the necklace before the council got to her. All she needed to do was break it. It was seal with boundless of Divine seals that Lucifer had place on it. She was working on the last two now.
Behind her Mephisto and Hibiki were watching from land. "The time has come." Mephisto says. "Do try and actually get something done." Hibiki says. Mephisto chuckled. "You seem pissed. Is your poor husband still grieving over the loss over your child?" Hibiki glances at him. "It was to expected. The poison in the child's body would never allow her to give birth. That is why he acquired something else." Mephisto smirked. "So you both knew that wouldn't work but still did it anyways? How interesting cruel of you." He grabbed Hibiki by her chin. "Are you sure your not a demon." He licked his lips. "Even so I can definitely please you better then that husband of yours." His eyes shines red. "How about? Want to become mines?" Hibiki sigh and smacks his hand away. "Are you willing to do what I ask or not. I don't have time to be playing your childish games." Mephisto laughs. "You have quite the amazing loyalty to your husband to reject me so yes. I will do what you ask for now but I want something in return." Hibiki frowned. "Fine…but only for one night." Mephisto smirked. "Good girl. A night is all I need."
Hibiki turns around and walks off. Ever since Oichi was taken back, she, Dorian and the boys were siding with Valeriea. She had allowed them into her domain to continue their planning but it would only be a matter of time until she learned about what they did to witches. Walking for a minutes she entered a forest that was created by Valeriea. It a actually very beautiful and their were actually animals living here and there. It baffled Hibiki on why Valeriea created this place.
She soon came to a large tree that had many houses build into it. She walked up a set of stairs and walked into the first one. In the living room, Steven was in there cleaning his sword. "Where is your brother and Mikey." "Roy is on another mission and Mikey is down in the lab with Father." "Thank you, now go get ready. You will be leaving as well. "Yes mother." Steven says getting up.
Hibiki walked to a door and opened it. It had a flight of stairs leading down into the actual tree. Walking down, there were lights on the walls lighting her way. Reaching the end of the hall she entered a high tech lab that Dorian had built. He was sitting at his desk reading over the file. In the middle of the lab was a large pod that was ready for use. Mikey was on a computer doing calculations. Hibiki walked over to him. "Dear husband it is done. However, I had to agree to a favor with Mephisto." Dorian looked up. "What favor." "One night with him." Dorian sighs and went back to work. "As long as the job is done he can have you for all I care." Hibiki squeezes her hands tightly at his words. "They will be leaving soon. Steven will be going with them." Dorian nodded and got up. He walked over to the tank and placed his hands on it. "This crappy lab was all I could build with the notes you brought back to me. Those idiots…how could they have lost all my work! All those years of planning gone to waste!" Hibiki looked down. "Not all my love. You still have the main compound for your work. As your wife I will make sure everything is in place for you." Dorian chuckled. "So fiercely loyal as always. It makes me sick sometimes. Leave me woman and make sure all of your duties are done." Hibiki bows. "Yes my love." She turns on her heels and walks out. Passing by Mikey, he could see a hurtful expression on her face and tears swelling up in the corner of her eyes as she left.
Frank and Danni with Joseph where in Mrs. Moon office, she was looking over Joseph's home school paper work "Home schooled… Joseph, this is a school of all paranormal creature's. I don't.. see paranormal world history… normally home schooled kids don't get taught about other creatures.. What I can do is have a study tutor for you for that class, school year is almost over so you might have to do summer school just to keep up"
"Its not like there is paranormal schools all over the world…" Joseph says. Danni pat's his head. "No smarting." she types on her computer, the printer made a sound and she rolled her chair over to it and took the papers that was just printed then rolling back to her desk and placing them in a folder "this folder is your school form and" she reached and took out the schools planner, that was a new designed. She wrote in it his locker number '212' and the combination "I have wrote you locker number down and we will have to measure you for a uniform" she said getting up "alright stand up please "
Joseph sighs and stands. She started to measure him, Frank chuckled "they do have casual day" Mrs. Moon chuckled finishing up "it already passed, alright I'll get this in today, you will get your uniform day before you start" she said handing him his folder "See you next week" Frank helps Danni up and they head out. Once they got outside, Danni put Joseph in a headlock. "Oh sweetie I love you but, the next time you sass an adult I'll slam you into the wall okay?" She says squeezing a bit harder. Joseph tapes out. "Y-Yes ma'am…" Danni lets him go. "Good! Now let's go eat!"
A week went by and it was January 22, a car pulled up, it was Franks black jeep "Alright here we are, have a good day and you will be take the bus home, Bus 45" he said as Joseph can see the purple busses driving up to the back to drop off the kids. Frank handed him an 20 bucks "Lunch money" "Thanks…" Joseph says.
Joseph turns and heads inside the school. "To much purple…" Joseph goes and find his locker. Finding it he practices opening and closing it. A few girls stopped and saw him. There face flustered up as they kept staring. "Hey go talk to him. He looks new." One says. "Why don't you go do it." A few other girls peaked their heads around the corner to see Joseph. "He must be new. I've never seen him before." Joseph rubs his ears. 'So loud…'
Jess walked over to him "Hello, you must be Joseph, I'm Jessica Lightning Mikcloud. I will be your guide" she smiled brightly at him, Rick leaning on the wall ground looking away. "Yeah…what's his deal…" He asked.
"Oh just ignore him, he's just a jealous vampire" Jess giggling "Alright you first class is English, luckily it's close by. Follow me"
Joseph put his bag over his shoulder and followed her. Rick walked behind him, "So your new in Oichi's family" "I suppose so."
Reaching the English class "Here we are, if you need anything just let me know" she smiled "Oichi is like a sister to me so were like family already" Jess giggled "You have the same classes as her so she can follow her round to the other classes, well see you at lunch" she said walking over to Rick who grabbed her hand and pulled her away "Rick you need to stop being this jealous!" Jess yells at him.
Joseph rolled his eyes and walked in. 'This is stupid. I rather be homeschooled.' He took a seat by the window and gazed outside. He could feel eyes staring at him but he ignored them. Soon the door opened and Oichi walked in with Sakamoto and Ross. "You switched your schedule again!?" Sakamoto says frowning. "Hey, now that its school time I gotta get Oichi in check here." "She doesn't need you draining her all dang day!" Ross pushed him sighed and hugged Oichi from behind. He drained her a bit but she wasn't fazed by it much. "See that. She's not fazed with means it's working. Soon the curse will be broken. Don't you want that?" Ross says smirking.
Sakamoto rolled his eyes. "You got a whole boyfriend! Go stalk him!" "I will. I don't have all the classes with Oichi. Just this, Botany, gym, and the fashion crap. See not all bad." Oichi looks and smiles when she sees Joseph. Sakamoto raised his eyebrow. "Why Botany? You know that's about plants right?" Ross let's Oichi go. "Yeah well…I'm tired of borrowing my old man's potions. If I learn more about plants and stuff I can make better things. A demon doesn't know everything you know…for Kaci sake at least." Sakamoto chuckled. "Such a softie." Ross rolls his eyes. "Shut up."
Oichi taps Joseph on the shoulder. "Hi Joseph. Did you find your locker?" Joseph nods. "Yeah…some red head girl led me here though saying she was my guide or whatever." "Oh? You mean Jess. Was Rick being all jealous? Don't let that get to you. He is like that with everyone." "I didn't care. I'm not into girls like that." A few girls gasps at this. Oichi giggled and sits in the desk beside him. Sakamoto sat behind her and Ross sat behind Joseph.
Jess and Rick walked into their art class, the teacher was sitting down "take out your folders and go ahead and continue on your artwork you were working on" Jess and rick walked over to their stations, Kaci and Dustin where already sitting there in front of their isle doing their art.
Jess smiled and sat down taking out her art work, the class was doing Japanese watercolor art. Rick sat down and did the same.
In English class, the teacher was going over today's lessons. Oichi had her note book out taking notes. Thanks to Sakamoto and online classes she was able to keep up with everyone. Later on she had to turn in a few essays and projects to her teachers so that her grades would change then she had to speak with Crissy after school. She also had a helping hand in keeping her up to date with school.
Joseph was so taking notes. He glances at Oichi who was focusing. "So your like what? Half wolf and human right?" Ross asked him in a low whisper to only where he could hear. "Yeah…" "Interesting. Wanna ditch class later?" Joseph frowned and ignored Ross, making him chuckle.
The Morning classes went by and it was lunch, Jess and rick were sitting at that round table. The boys, Greg, Davey, Nick, Ronny and Mikey were sitting there with them. Jess munching on her fries "So the rumor of a new student late during the school year is true" Chida said sitting down, Jess nodded "Yup" Rick sighs "he looks like he doesn't wanna be here" Rick said taking a bite of his burger. Jess shook her head and then sees Oichi and Sakamoto walk over with their food "Hello Oichi!"
Oichi was about to say hi when they all noticed a crowd at the door. Girls were surrounding Joseph, crowding him, asking him questions. Joseph had an uncomfortable look on his face. Oichi frowned at this and gave her food to Sakamoto. He sighs. "Ichi please try to contain your anger just a bit…" Jess chuckled "Care ful sis!" Rick sighs, Chida chuckled "He's like the shine new to girls"
Oichi stormed over to the group and pushed the girls out the way. "Stop crowding my brother!" She yells at them. "Jeez! You all act like you never seen a hot boy before! Dry off your panties and get a life!" She grabbed Joseph hand and pulled him over to the table ignoring the glares she got. "Thank you…" Joseph says sighing out tiredly. Oichi smiled. "No buggy. Just brush past them next time. Bunch of idiot girls trying make each other jealous. Don't drag yourself in that sort of drama okay?" Joseph nodded. Chida chuckled at him "Your like the shiny new toy the girls are fighting over" Jess shook her head "Chida" "Right…" Joseph says sitting beside Oichi.
Jinn appeared and sat on Chida's lap "So this must be the new wolf, I'm Jin Moon, Prince of the crescent Moon wolves, welcome to Ravenswood" "Thanks…" Joseph says sighing mentally.
Oichi smiles at him. "Want some sushi?" Joseph looks down at her hand made lunch. "Sure?" He picked one up and at it. His eyes did a hint of a sparkle. Oichi giggled and pushed her lunch to him. "You can have more."
Over by the demons, Damien sat there sighing looking away from Jess's table. Nubia shook her head "Damien stop sighing…" "I'll try" he said as Ross and Paxton come over and sat down. Nubia smiled at them "Hello Ross, Paxton" "Hey." Ross says. "How are you holding up." Paxton says.
Nubia frowned slightly "I'm fine… I'll be alright" Mara came over wearing her cheerleading out "Hey cousins!"
"Great. The last thing I need is a boat load of your cheerfulness." Ross says. Mara chuckled and jumped slightly when Lyle appeared next to her putting his arm around her waist making Mara flush "Ross.. Paxton… I want to apologize… for my behavior…" the demons around them had widen eyes. Nubia blinked at him "wow this is the first for him" Damien nodded "how strange" "Whatever." Ross says. Paxton shrugs.
Lyle and Mara walk away from them to sit in at the table with some of angel kids. Kaci walked over with a consider and sat on Ross's lap, Kaci opened the consider making the Demons sniff "Raw bloody Meat!" Kaci frowned and hissed at them "back off! It's mine and Ross's lunch!"
Nubia chuckled, Damien reached out "Can I have a piece?" Kaci frowned "No! I made this for me and my man, if any of you demons try to take this meat I'll punch you through a wall!" he said glaring at a demon who was close of snatching, Ross's eyes glowed making the demon stop in his tracks and shook in fear. Kaci chuckled and lifted up a piece "Open love" Ross opens his mouth as Kaci feeds him. Damien shook his head "I wonder how sex you two have a day" Nubia's eyes widen "Damien!" Kaci flushed at him but kept feeding Ross and himself.
Paxton looked around and spotted Sonya sitting at a back table by herself. He got up catching Ross's attention. "Where are you going." "I think I get enough of seeing you and Kaci open affection at home." He leaves the table heading over to Sonya. Ross frowns at this and then sighs. Kaci frowns "I'm sorry…." Damien laughed "I wonder does he hear you two go at it?" Kaci bites his lip with a red face "Once….. he banged on the door told us to keep it down, that cause Ross to yell back what was it 'put your headphones on?' luckily Marie was at Oichi's" Damien laughed "Haha!" Nubia blushed but smiled "I think it's cute you two are together, Now the girls will leave you alone too" Ross was still looking over at where Paxton was sitting. His eyes narrowed at Sonya, who's face lit up when Paxton sat down. "Mmmff…" Ross grunted out with irritation. Kaci frowned "Ross what's wrong?"
Just then two boys walked over to the table. One had short light orange hair and the other long white hair with blue tips. "Ross…" Ross turns around to them. "Wyatt…Nate…what is it?" Wyatt smiled. "We only wanted to speak for a second. You remember our brother Marco right?" "Yeah your idiot brother." Kaci huffed "I remember too rude"
"Yes, idiot as he may be, try keeping your hands off him. Son of Lucifer or not, not even you can handle all of us?" Ross sighs and pushes Kaci off his lap gently. He then stands up. "You got a issue with me? Spill it but if your dumbass brother ever touches my sister again then your mother will be crying over how she lost three sons." Their eyes narrowed at Ross. Slight tension grew in the air. Nubia gulped "know come on boys…" Damien smirked "Someone is gonna die, well someone's" Kaci frowned "Ross…"
Ross's eyes turned dark red. "Get lost. Next time come up with a better threat." Wyatt growls out and takes a step forward but Nate stops him. "Brother. We are at school. I let you give Ross a message but no fighting. At least not here." Wyatt brushed his hand off. "This isn't over Ross. You can only hide under your father's name for so long. Eventually your time will come and I'll be the one having the last laugh." He storms off. Nate chuckled. "So long Ross." He looked at Kaci. "You and your…play thing…enjoy the rest of the day…" He turned on his heel to go find Wyatt. Kaci growled "play thing!?" he stepped to him "I'm not his play thing!" Nubia blinked a think "uhm Kaci…" Nate turns to him and smirked "You think he will keep you? He will get bored with you and find someone else, he always does" Nate said and walked off, Damien sat up "What a jackass" Kaci looked down biting his lip.
In a instant, Rosses eyes turned red. Everyone could feel intense heat and a great deal of bloodlust. Kaci saw Ross's nails sharpen. Kaci's eyes widen "Ross!" Nubia hid behind Damien, Damien just stood there smirking 'my ross losing control'
At the table Oichi gasps out in pain and holds her chest as her seal fed off Ross anger. She felt something pulsing through her body and her body got heavy as she fell forward. "Oichi!?" Sakamoto grabbed her before her head hit the table. Jess's eyes widen "Oichi!" Rick, Chida and the boys frowned at her "Is she alright?" "Oichi you alight?"
Nat smirked as he continued walking. In a quick motion Ross was already behind him, ready to take Nate's heart right out his body. Everyone gasps at this until Paxton grabbed Ross's hand. As he did it they could see his hand burning just by touching Ross. "Calm down. Not here…" Nate shook his head and left the lunch room. Ross glared at Paxton but Paxton gave him a blank look. "Don't…not here. Don't make me have to do this." Ross bit his lip and snatched away from Paxton. Kaci shook "R-ross… calm down"
Paxton looked down at his burned hand. He closed it as he started to heal himself. "Go cool off." Paxton says. Ross snitched his teeth and quickly leaves the lunch room. Kaci frowned "Should I leave him be….?" "Its for the best right now. I don't want him lashing out at you." Paxton says. Kaci frowned and sat down.
Across the lunch room, Jess frowned on what happen with Ross. She looked to see Nat walking off. "What is going on with the demons?" Rick frowned "I don't know…" Sakamoto rubbed Oichi's back. "Are you okay?" Joseph asked. Oichi nodded. "Yeah…I'll be okay." Joseph frowned. "Your not okay…you look pale." Oichi smiles. "Trust me. Me being pale is the best thing that could happen to me right now." Sakamoto sighs and looked at Paxton who walked back over to Sonya. "I heard there had been tension between a few demons here and there but it looks like it might be worse then I thought."
Before lunch was over, the gym teacher stepped on top of a table and blew his whistle that made everyone stop talking "I want you all remember that 1st and 2nd years that gym is being switched to the health classroom so that means my classes I would normally have after this house will be in the health classroom right next to the gym, so don't bother changing go right to that class" he said stepping down walking off.
Greg groaned "Health class… but we had that last year…" "Yeah I was hoping we would play some dodge ball…." Chida shook his head. "I'm taking you to the nurse to rest for a bit." Sakamoto says to Oichi.
After lunch, the students headed for their next class. Jess and Rick holding hands walked the health classroom, reaching the class room the door was open already and they stepped inside, the walls were yellow, with wooden desks, white chalk board, bookcases and a white board. On the walls where the typical health posters. The teacher was at her desk, she was attractive young woman with black hair, purple eyes, and a large bust. She was wearing a red track suit and red glasses.
Jess and Rick stepped over to the desks and sat in the middle. Chida, Jin walked sitting in the back. Greg, Davey and Ronny walked in they went to the back also. Kaci and Paxton walked in, Kaci sat in front of Jess. Paxton sat next to the window looking out. Ross walked in with a blank look on his face and sat in front of Paxton. He leans on his elbow sinking into his own mind. Kaci looked back at him "Ross?" Ross was silent.
Kaci frowned and looked down at his desk, Dustin rubbed his back "it's alright brother"
In the nurse's office, Oichi was behind a curtain area. She was sitting in front of aurora on a stool "how you are feeling?" "Like I've been hit by a truck.."
"Mhmm, luckily your grandfather tested these for me, I made them for students who get headaches or any other pain, he gave me the green light on giving you these" she said reaching in her desk taking out a herb like pill "the curse on your back won't be affect by these, since these pills are pure herbal" "Okay." Oichi says.
"Take two of these and your feel better in about 5 minutes, so has I can understand Ross caused this?" Aurora said handing two to Oichi. "Yes. This stupid curse reacts to anything negative and feeds off it. Especially demonic…" Oichi says sighing.
Aurora stood up "alright let's get you to class, I need to speak with Ross" she said walking them out of her office, a student came over with a bloody nose, Aurora shook her head "keep your head and put pressure on it, I'll be right back"
Joseph who went to the nurse with Oichi was waiting for her, holding her bag.
They walked to see Gabriel "Oh Gab! Come with me incase Ross might lash out on me" Gabriel blinked "is it about what happen during lunch?" he looked at Oichi, Aurora nodded.
In the health room, Mara stepped in only to be pushed out of the way "move it angel" Wyatt said, him and Nat stepped in. Mara frowned at them and went to sit down next to Dustin and Kaci. "Brother try not to cause to much a fuss. I can only protect you for so long." Nate says. "Brother is here teaching somewhere and I rather not run into him today." Wyatt sighs. "Whatever…"
Ms. Stacy looked around and smiled has the bel rang, she got up and was about to great her class when Aurora stepped "I'm sorry Ms. Stacy, I walked Oichi and Joseph from my office" Ms. Stacy chuckled "No Biggy "Please take a seat" Oichi nodded as she and Joseph took a seat.
"Do you mind if speak with Ross real quick please?" Aurora asks. "Sure we can wait until he gets back in" Ross ignored her and stayed seated.
Gabriel step in "Ross, know" he asks softly. Ross sighed and got up walking over to them and out of the classroom, Aurora closing the door. "Ross, Oichi was just in my office… from pain you made her cause. Has the nurse of this school I make sure the students of this school are prefect health, with Oichi it's different because what she has on her back, being marked by you, she can sense your aura and feel pain whenever you lose control, so please calm yourself down" Aurora said to him, Gabriel looked at him with a soft look.
"Whatever…can I go now." Ross with a flat tone. "alright, head back in class now" Aurora said. Ross nodded and stepped back in class. Ms. Stacy smiled "Welcome back, please have a seat" Ross went back and sat down in front of Paxton. He sighs mentally and leans back on his elbow.
Ms. Stacy smiled "Well then, I'm Ms. Stacy. Welcome to 2nd year health class, I know you all took this class in 1st year but this year will be different because" she stepped over to the white board and rolled it over flipping it around, where is had 'Vampire' 'Werewolves' 'Demons' and 'Angels' "Are gonna learning about vampire, werewolves, Demons and angels" some of the human were excited to hear this.
"Now then, vampire, werewolves, demons and angels have the same bodily autonomy has humans. Since they do, the only courses we will be learning is of course intercourse wise" most of the girls blushed from her saying that "And the venoms of vampires, werewolves and demons" she said "Now then, the reason for the intercourse is because there are many mix breads. This room is filled with mix breeds" she chuckled "Kaci and Dustin" they looked at her "Kaci and Dustin are half vampire and half angel" "Fallen" they both said at the same time, the class chuckled. Ms. Stacy chuckled "Fallen angel" she recorded herself "Paxton, is half demon and half angel." She looks at Joseph and smiled. "And our new student here is half human and half wolf. With vampires and werewolves, there hasn't been a hybrid since the time of Deacon… and all vampire and werewolf couples where forbidden to breed but I have found out that the council changed it for some reason. Anyways, lets began on vampires first. Vampire's are more human then people know. Yes they do need to drink blood, but not so much has many people think. Rick, Chida how long can you last without drinking blood" Rick and Chida chuckled "3 months" they said at the same time. Jess smiled "True" Ms. Stacy chuckled "some vampires however can not wait 3 months, royal blood like Rick, Chida, Kaci and Dustin can last for 3 months" Dustin chuckled "I lasted for 4 months" "Me… mmmm I feed ever week from…" he stopped and flushed, the students were blinking at him "Uhm I can last for the 3 or 4 months"
Ms. Stacy smiled "Vampires have that paranormal senses, speed, healing, smell, strength, earring and energy. With werewolves, it's the same. All that paranormal powers. They are also more human, many wolves have their human form, then their wolf forms. I know for sure Jin's forms. First form is human like, 2nd form is wolf size then 3rd form is of course the classic legendry werewolf forums you see in the movies. His clan are called the Albino wolfs" Jin chuckled "yup" the students chuckle at them.
"With Oichi's clan, I'm not really familiar with. I'm still learning about her clan, how many forms do you have dear?" she asked Oichi. Jess giggled "I Like one of her forms, she's very snuggle-able" Rick pouted "Hey… I'm snuggle-able too" Chida, Dustin and Kaci shook their heads.
"Um well…My clan is like any another clans I guess. They each have a human form and a wolf form. However, me and my grandpa are kinda different from the rest and are classified as rare I think." We both have human forms. Our second form is more of a hybrid form. We keep the human features but we grow tails, ears, and our strength, endurance, speed, etc is increased 10 fold." She then blushed. "And we also…have the tendency to cuddle up against the ones we care for like a puppy in that form…" Some students chuckled at this.
"Our third form is one we rarely used. While we are regular size wolf we both can control our sizes. We can be very big as a mountain if we wanted or very small like a new born pup. I cant control my third form so I have to wear my grandfather's fang to keep it steady. We don't use the that form unless we are tracking, hunting, or traveling a very long way."
Ms. Stacy chuckle "For demons, like humans of course. Demons have a normal human that mistake them for humans. Their demon forms are different for each demon." She looked at Ross "Well… since he isn't in the mood… mhmm Nat, Wyatt. Describe your demon forms"
Before Wyatt could say anything. Paxton raised his hand. "Excuse me but I can explain Ross forms as it needs to be remind to the two in the back." Wyatt frowned at him. Ms. Stacy smiled "Go ahead Paxton" everyone turned there heads to listen.
"Like she said every demon is different and unique in their own way. There are some demons that do not have human forms and there are some who only have a human form and a demon form like the two lesser beings in the back." Wyatt bit his lip. The class chuckled, Ms. Stacy raised her eyebrow "keep going Paxton"
"In Ross's case, he has three forms. His first form is human. However, his human form cannot last forever and he must be reborn into another." Oichi hums out. "So…that's not how Ross really looks?" "No, Ross has been reborn plenty of times due to his demonic energy being high. He hasn't even fully matured into it yet." "Wow" Jess says softly, Rick shrugged. Ms. Stacy "true demons don't age like human, keep going"
Paxton keeps going. "His second form is his basic demon form. Most have you have seen it before. Not much change other the he has horns on his head and his demonic energy spreads out thicker. His last form is a form that is sealed away. Once he is in that form he becomes an unstable ball of rage capable of setting the whole word on fire. So if he were to snap his fingers he can barbecue the two idiots in the back before they could blink. It's a form so dangerous that his father would not allow it to use openly." He turns to Wyatt and smiles sweetly at him. "Does that help you get it now or do I need to break it down to where your simple brains can understand?" Wyatt eyes glowed slightly. "Watch it half breed…"
Kaci frowned then growled, slamming his hand on the table "Shut the hell up, no one cares for your fucken mouth!" Jess frowned "Kaci careful…" Dustin shook his head "Brother." Wyatt rolled his eyes. "I don't know what your trying to prove but maybe you should just fuck off and do what you do best. Being used like a free toy."
Kaci stood up growling "Say that again…" Ms. Stacy shook her head and snapped her fingers has Kaci was turned around and placed in her seat, eyes widen. Jess gasped "You're a witch…?" Ms. Stacy smiled "yes, now then let's move on to angels. Angels are the same also, there more human but with the wings. For an example. Mara?" Mara frowned "I would have to take off my shirt…" some boys grinned, even some of the demons were licking their lips. Paxton glared at them "knock it off, Ms. Stacy ill do it" she nodded. Paxton sighs, stands up and takes his shirt off. Only two of his six wings appeared.
"Angels can have more than two wings. Angels can make them disappear and un-disappear, thank you Paxton" she said with a smile. Paxton's wings disappear and he puts his shirt back on.
"Now tomorrow we will learn about male barriers" she said, Kaci's face turned red "Male barriers?" Greg asked with a confused look, Ms. Stacy chuckled "Tomorrow" she said has the bell rang "See you all tomorrow" Jess, Rick, Dustin, Chida, Kaci got up and left.
Ross got up sighing. Paxton pats his shoulder. "When your completely calm we need to talk…" Ross moves his hand. "Sure…" He grabbed his things and started walking to his next class. Paxton sighs. "At least he is trying not to snap…"
Classes went by and it was the last class of the day, Dustin was walking to the storage room. He had study hall but was signed to get stuff from the art storage room. Walking around the corner he see's a couple kissing, he frowned mentally then sighing walking away 'so lonely…'
Joseph was walking in the hallway looking for the rest room. This day tired him out and he figured the bathroom would be a good place to be alone. Oichi had introduced him to mostly everyone but he couldn't remember their faces at the moment. "Vampires, wolves, demons, angels, witches, a lot…even humans. Maybe mother was wrong about the world…" He says to himself.
"Joseph!" Joseph stops to see a group of girls with flushing faces. He frowned at this. Something he was starting to hate was the fact that he had been here for one day and girls would not leave him alone. They were bothersome, asking him personal questions and trying to get close to him. It was creepy. He quickly turned around and ran off. "H-Hey wait!" The girls yelled out chasing him. Running around the corner he ran right into Dustin. Dustin gasped and frowned "Hey watch where you going!"
Joseph could hear the girls coming. He grabbed Dustin's wrist and pulled him into the storage room. He places his hands on the wall on the side of Dustin's face. "I'm sorry about this but can you be silent for a second." He turned his head to the door as girls started running by. Dustin's eyes widen and his face turned red, his heart was racing "N-No problem….." 'oh my god… his so hot up close…' he licked his lips, he see the veins in his neck throbbing, it made him gulp slightly, feeling very hungry where is fangs came out quietly.
Soon the girls ran by leaving the hall way silent. Joseph sighs out. "Sorry for running into you and pulling you in here…I just wanted to get away from those girls. They have been following me all day." He moves his hands. Dustin flushed "It's.. a-alright…" he said still with a red face trying to control his hungry "the best way to deal with girls… is to show them your not interested in them"
"I've already done and said that. Nothing works…they are like a pack of wild dogs…I even told them I wasn't interested in girls." "Well… kiss someone in front of them, show them?" Dustin shrugged his shoulders 'kiss me…! No stop bad Dustin!' he mentally battled with himself. Joseph rubs his head. "I don't know anyone like that who would be willing to do that." He grabbed the door knob and opened it. "Anyways, sorry for dragging you into this." Dustin frowned mentally has Joseph walked out of the room, soon has he did the girls were scream "There he is!" Dustin bites his lip and with his vampire speed he was out of the room and had Joseph against the wall in the hallway with his lips on Joseph's the girls eyes widen like deer in head lights.
They then frowned and glared at Dustin and stormed off. When they were gone Joseph tapped Dustin signaling that they were gone. Dustin's eyes widen, with his speed he was away form "Oh my god… I'm so sorry… uhm… I'm sorry I don't know what came over me!…" "Right…" Joseph says sighing.
"Dustin! Where the hell are" Kaci came around the corner and see's the scene, he blinked and sees Dustin's red face. Kaci grinned. "Oh little brother what's with the red face?" Dustin's eyes widen and then glared, he did a vampire hiss and rushed into the art storage room. Kaci laughed and winked at Joseph walking in the art storage room. Joseph shook his head and left to find the bathroom that he had been looking for.
In an empty room, a man with light blue hair and eyes. He was wearing glasses as he wrote and was getting ready for tomorrow lesson when a knock was heard at his door. "Adrian? Are you in there?" The door opens and a beautiful woman walked in. She had long black hair and blue eyes. "Adrian you should answer your sister when she is calling you." Adrian sighs. "What do you want Melissa. You are supposed to back home supporting mother." Melissa chuckles. "As many siblings as we have I doubt she would miss me. Plus, you need help controlling those boys you know. They might start something they can't finish." "What happens, happens. Brother or not if they cross Lord Lucifer I will cut them down." Melissa smirked. "How devilish of you. Then at least warn them. We can't have them starting a war with Ross up here while things are happening back home." Adrian took his glasses off. "Fine. Now will you get out. I have work to do." Melissa pouted. "Such a workaholic."
Delica walked into the room caring two boxes "hello?" I'm here to drop of herbs from the witchery?" "You can place them down on the desk." Adrian says.
Delica put them down "Here you are and here is the paperwork of your order" Melissa looked at her "The fallen herself" Delica frowned at her and looked at Adrian with a blush and smiled "Thank you" she turned to leave.
Melissa looked at Adrian. "More work huh. Well whatever. I'm gonna go look for a house or an apartment or whatever and stay up top for awhile. Can't have something slip out from hell and cause panic." "Is that a order?" "Mmm…more or less. Lord Lucifer wants us to make sure nothing to bad happens here." "Like when Ross tried to summon the army." Melissa chuckled. "That would have been fun." "That is exactly why falling in love makes one weak. I would have thought he learned his lesson by now." Melissa got up. "Well actually try falling in love once in a while and then see how it feels. It might change that cold personality of yours." She says walking out, closing the door behind her.
After school, Kaci was up in the art club sitting in the corner with his head in his knees. Dustin frowned at him form his work station, the door opened and Jess walked in in Rick behind her "hello Kaci and Dustin" Dustin smiled "Jess, Rick" Rick nodded to him then frowned at Kaci "Cuss what's wrong?" Jess blinked and looked at Kaci with a deep frown, she stepped over to knelling down "Kaci hun what's wrong?" Kaci sniffed "I think he's gonna leave me… I feel it…" Jess frowned "Don't be silly, Ross cares for you. Trust me, seeing the way he acted today just shows he cares for you and loves you" Kaci sniffs "but… what if he gets bored with me… and leaves me.." Dustin frowns "That's that demon talking not him! Ross would never leave you!"
Rick nodded "True Kac!" Jess smiled at him "come on know, cheer up. I have Japanese beef, Rick likes to snack on it once in awhile" Kaci sniffed and blinked "really?" Jess giggled "You hungry for some blood too? I can give you some. I know drinking witche's blood would make high" Rick bites his lip "Hey! No one but me can bite you!" Jess narrowed at him "Oh shut up! Chida feed off me once and you didn't care when he did!" Rick groaned "Because he's my twin!" "Well Kaci is your cousin!" Jess snapped back, Jess lifted her arm "you want some, it will make you feel light and happy" Kaci blinked "I don't think Ross will like me biting someone else but him…" his stomach started to growl. Dustin sighed "Just have some of the meat I can hear you stomach from all the way over here"
Kaci flushed "I'll have some of the meat" Jess smiled and took out a container from her messenger back "Here you go" she said getting up "Dustin my vase is fished from the furnace?" Dustin nodded "Yup!" Jess smiled "Sweet know I can paint for my Oichi!" Rick pouted and sat down "So where is he?" Kaci frowned taking a bite of the beef "He… he left without telling me… so I figured he didn't want me with him…"
Paxton was flying in the air, heading towards Ross. He had hid his presence from everywhere but Paxton knew exactly where he was. Flying out of Ravenswood, he flew a few miles out. Looking down he finally spots his landing. He dips down and lands on the ground gently. There was a small path that lead to a very old and worn down garden meadow trail. There was an open section and stairs that led deeper in to the path. There was also a sitting area next to a small pond.
Jumping down, Paxton saw Ross sitting down with his head looking at the ground. "How did you find me?" Ross asked. "Because I know you Ross. This isn't only your secret hideout." Ross drops his head lower. Paxton walks to him.
"Kaci is going to be upset if you keep taking off like this." Ross sighs. "I know." "Then don't do it. Knowing him Wyatt might have already gotten in his head." Ross looks up at Paxton. "Well he shouldn't…if he really loves me like he says he does then he would doubt that I would leave him." Paxton sits beside him. "Sure, I'm a jackass and I slept around a lot but I've never cheated on anyone. Sure I've used a couple of girls and dudes but I made sure that they knew I wasn't looking for anything serious and they were just fine with it. If I were to use Kaci then I would have already dropped him by now. Anyone who knows me should know that and it's getting frustrating that I have to defend my own fucking actions."
Paxton nods. "Yes, that comes with the territory of your reputation. When was the last time you actually loved, loved someone. Don't let your ego and pride be the down fall of something good that can happen to you." Ross sighs. "Yeah…I just want to kill Wyatt though…I understand Nate. He was protecting his brother but Wyatt had always hated me." Paxton chuckled. "True." Ross looked at Paxton's hand. "Sorry for burning you earlier." "I've been through worse."
There was silence between them. "Say Pax…do you ever think about the times we had in the apartment? Before Kaci?" Ross asks. "I do. It does make me kinda jealous that Kaci gets to experience it with you but if your happy I'm happy." Ross frowns. "Then…this Sonya chick. Are you two…" "Dating? Something like that I guess." Ross sighs. "So now im a bit jealous that she gets to experience that with you. Man…I loved it when all your wings came out at once." Paxton laughs. "Shut up. They never all came out once. If they did they would smack you in the face." Ross laughs back. "True."
He then sighs. "I don't like giving you up to that girl. Your my Paxton. You know how weird it is to not have you near me?" Paxton leans back. "Jeez you are so possessive. Learn to share." Ross pouted. "You and Marie and on the rare occasions Oichi, all belong to me. Your all mine." Paxton rolls his eyes. "And Kaci?" Ross leans back. "He's mine to…but out of the four of you I refuse to let him go." Paxton smiles and ruffles Ross's hair. He then looked around. "You know if we clean this place up and rebuild it, it can become our own personal spot to relax. I can definitely put a barrier around it and make it so that only us and close friends can come here." Ross stretches. "I guess so. We have a lot more friends in this lifetime. I guess it would be go to share something with them."
Couple of hours went by, Jess and Rick with Kaci walked out for the school "you wanna ride home Kaci?" Jess asked, Kaci frowned "I don't wanna go home…" Jess frowned "why don't go home and spend time with your mom, your rarely over there" Rick nodded "Always at Ross's" "Well, Well, the toy himself" Jess and Rick frowned looking to see Wyatt walk over with Nate. Kaci bites his lip looking away, Jess narrowed at them "beat it demons" her eyes glowed green "Or I send a powerful holy spell at you" she said has a white light appeared in her hand making the stop frown at her "Beat it" Rick growled "leave my cousin alone!" "Oh please. Like we want to waste time with something Ross is going to throw away anyway." Wyatt says laughing. watching them leave, Jess looked at Kaci "you wanna stay over at our place?" Kaci looked at her "stay at your place?" Jess smiled "yeah where having homemade Sukiyaki for dinner" Rick chuckled "her's is like eating form the gods" Jess flushed "shut up!" Kaci smiled "Sure, I'm feeling rather hungry" Jess chuckled "come to Ricks car!" she linked her arms with Rick and Kaci.
Days later, on the weekend , it was a warm day. Ronnie and his family were at the park having a BBQ party and celebrating Joseph as a new family member. Ronnie had reserved a section of the park so they wouldn't be interrupted. He was on the grill cooking. Faye and lily were at the table enjoying Faye's famous cuddles on the beach mocktail.
"Oh my Lily…I didn't know you had to send them all back." Faye says frowning. Lily nodded. "Yes, with Axel on the lose it was not safe for Jazz and her sisters to be here anymore. I had to send them into hiding incase he came after them…" Lily says sipping her drink. "What about little Ari?" They looked over to where the kids were playing. "She will be leaving with me." "What? Your leaving to?" Lily nodded. "Axel is after my head as well. If he can't get to Danni or Oichi then he will come for me." Faye bit her lip and grabbed Lily's hand. "No, you can't leave. How about you and Ari move in with us! With Ronnie here, Axel wouldn't even make to the door." Lily smiles. "Thank you, Faye, but I think it's best for me to…" "Don't think just because of what happened between Dante and Danni we don't consider you family. We all knew eventually it was going to end." Faye squeezed her hand. "No one here rejects you or the clan or even Dante. So you can pack yours and Aris things and move in asap okay?" Lily chuckles. "You are very pushy when you need to be." Faye smiles. "When your married to Ronnie it's a skill that must be learn." The two-woman laughed together. Ronnie at the grill, overhearing the conversation, couldn't help but smile at their carefree laughter.
Jess walked over wearing a cute outfit, black tank top with a see-through brown shirt over it, denim short and sandals. Kaci behind her was wearing men's black gray slim elastic jeans denim Biker skinny jeans and white v neck short with black wrap converse. Jess smiled "Hello Lily, Faye and Ronnie!" Kaci smiled "Hello" "Hi dears, everyone is already out doing whatever. The food will done a bit later but if you get thirsty or need a quick bite we have drinks and snacks ready. Have fun." Faye says.
Jess smiled "Alright, come on Kaci lets go find Oichi!" Kaci smiles and nodded "Alright" Jess grabbed him and dragged him wither her.
Over where the kids were. Oichi was sitting in the grass as Takara held on to her. She was wearing a cute black and yellow stripe dress with bees on them. Sakamoto was beside her laying down taking a nap. Marie, Ty, Ari who was two now, and Kim were all playing with a soccer ball. It rolled over to Ari. "Me roll…" She says softly in a whisper. Luckily everyone there had great hearing so they didn't have a issue with it. She pushed the ball to Kim. "No Ari! You kick it! Like me!" Kim kicked the ball to Marie and she kicks it to Ty. Ari nods. "Me?" Ty sighs and instead of kicking he pushes it to her making her smile. "Heehee."
Kim frowned. "No! She has to kick it!" Ty frowned at her. "Stop it. Ari is a baby. She doesn't have to kick it okay?" Kim pouts. "Okay." Ari looks down. "Me bad…" Marie's eyes widen. "Ari isnt bad. She's good! Come on pass the ball to me." She says sitting on the grass. Ari smiles and pushes it to her. "Yay! Good job! Right?" She says to Ty and Kim. Ty nods. "Yes. Very good." Kim nods. "Good…" Ari smiles. "Heehee. I do good…" "Hey everyone" Jess says with giggled, Kim gasped "JESS!" she ran over to Jess, Jess knelled and hugged 'Hey Kimmy, how are you?" Kaci chuckled and felt someone poke his leg, he looked to see Marie right next to him with a frown "Why haven't you been over?" Kaci frowned mentally but he smiled softly "needed to spend with my cousins Marie."
Marie frowned. "That never stopped you before! It's because of my dummy head brother isn't it!" She says stopping her feet. "Don't lie to me! Brother said when married couple fight. They need time apart." She pouted. "I'll go beat him up for you so you can come home!" Jess raised her eyebrow and chuckled, Kaci sighs and kneels down "Marie… we are not a married couple… it's just that …" Kaci smiles "Marie… I'm sorry… I'll be over tonight alright?"
Marie huffs out. "Okay…" looking for Oichi, she smiled to see her with Takara. She giggled with Kim still hanging on her "Oichi!"
"Hey Jess. Lookie who's here Kara." She says turning her to Jess. "Hello my cute little niece! Your aunty is here" Takara smiled brightly at Jess and giggled. Jess cued at her "Awwww"
"That's not the best part yet." Oichi says. "Wave to auntie Jess sweetie." Takara bounces a bit and starts waving at Jess, giggling, tickled pinked by her new skill. Jess giggled "awww!" Jess waves at her back "just cute has a bee!"
"She's learning to walk quick for her age to. I read a bunch of books and what not. She's a quick learner." She let Takara go and she takes maybe three full steps before falling down on her butt. "Usually a baby would cry or something right but not this little bumblebee." Takara claps her hand and waves more at Jess giggling. Jess smiled and waved back at her "so cute!" Oichi chuckled and picked Takara up. She looks around. "Mmm. Your protective Rick isnt here today." "oh he's doing his student intern credit at the hospital, nurse" Jess says sitting down next to Oichi, Kim sat on her lap. Kaci stepped over and sat down, they can see the boys playing football. Kaci watched Ross throwing the ball making a thunder noise, kaci smiled softly at him but Nate's words echoed in his head making him frown and look away. Marie say this and bites her lip and turn to looked at her brother.
Joseph, Ross, Paxton, Terry, Eric, and Jack were power throwing a football around. It was made with a heavier material so it wouldn't go flat while they were playing. The ball was passed back to Ross and he smirked. Eric frowned. "Come on man! Don't be a jerk!" Ross leans his arms back and throws it hard and fast at Eric.
Eric not backing down tried to catch it but it slides through his fingers and heads to Terry. Terry catches it. "Haha! To weak baby bro!" He tosses the foot ball over to Paxton. He smirks deadly at Ross who gulps. "Come on now Pax. Don't be a dick." Paxton spreads his wings and flies up in the air. He spins around and throws the ball with half his strength, sending it flying right toward Ross. "Ain't no way in hell I'm catching that!" Ross says moving out the way. The ball hit the ground hard. Making a dent. Ronnie sighs. "Careful over there." Paxton drops down. "Sorry sir." Paxton chuckled at Ross. "Pansy." Paxton says. Ross pouted at him. "You were trying to kill me!" "Oh? Was I? I didn't notice."
Joseph chuckled. Something like this he didn't mind. He felt at home here and everyone treated him the same even though he was half human. "Yo Joseph! Let's see some wolf strength!" Terry says. "Wolf strength?" Terry walked to him. "Your part wolf so that means you got all the ups. Strength, speed, agility etc. We should test them out while we got the park to ourselves. "Okay…" Ross chuckled. "Let's race. The first one to the tree wins. Paxton you be the judge."
Just then Ross fell down. They blinked to see Marie had ran over there and tackled him in his back. She was now standing over him with a pouty face and glowing red eyes. "Stupid brother!" She starts jumping on his back. "Stupid! Meanie head! Fathead! Jerk face! Monkey butt! Dummy head!" She yells as she jump harder on him. Jess gasped "Marie!" Kaci looked and chucked 'awww Marie is defending me'
Terry busted out into laughter at this. Paxton rubs his head and sighs. Joseph sat down. "Um…is he going to be okay?" Marie then grabbed Ross by his cheeks, sat on his sore back and pulled him, bending his back. "Sissy Oichi taught me this move! Ill use it on you!" She says pulling harder. Ross started tapping out.
Oichi rubs her head. "I didn't think shed use that on Ross. It's kinda cute." Sakamoto sits up from his nap to see this. He chuckled. "I wish I had a camera." "Should we stop her?" Oichi asked. "Paxton's over there. Besides she's not wrong. Ross can't keep running away from his problems anymore." Jess sighs "yeah your right" Kaci stood up and walked over "Marie" she stopped and looked up at him "brother will pay for hurting you!"
She goes back to pulling Ross. "Marie love, stop. I'm gonna walk to the ice cart you wanna come with?" Kaci chucked at her. Marie puffs her cheeks out and let Ross go. "Okay." She jumped on Ross's back one more time before walking off with Kaci. Paxton shook his head. Using his wings he started to fan a twitching Ross.
Frank and Danni showed up with more food. "Mama! Me and your lovely grandson are here!" Faye chuckles as Danni sits down. Faye rubs her belly. She felt a light kick. "Aw he kicked me." Danni giggles. "Yeah, he is becoming more active everyday. Mainly when we are getting hungry." Frank chuckled and lifted a bag of lobster tails "Do you mine Ronnie? I already season them for her" "Yes, I'm not the one to get in the way of a pregnant woman's food." Faye chuckled at him
At the ice cream cart Kaci and Marie were standing behind a couple. Marie had her head down. "I'm mad a you to…" She says to Kaci. Kaci frowned "What for?"
"I might be seven but I've lived long to…I'm really smart you know." She looks up at him. "Big brother hurts to. More than you…people don't know my brother like that and they always end up pushing him away like Pax…" Kaci frowned "Marie.."
"Marco and Dummy head Wyatt has always hated Ross…always. For a long time. They always get in the head of Ross's girlfriends and boyfriends and then they end up leaving Ross…" She starts tearing up. "Now your gonna leave us to. Just like everyone else! I don't want you to leave." Tears ran down her cheeks. "If you leave, Ross and Pax leave, and then I leave and I don't want to leave! I like it here with sissy Oichi and Taka and you and big brother and Paxton." She starts crying. "I'll be alone again!" Kaci's knelled down to her "I'm not gonna leave, we are family Marie. I love Ross, I really do love him, Ross is my first will and will always be my first. I won't leave Marie, I'm not leaving Ross… I love him too much to leave me… I'm afraid of him leaving me…."
"Because you let that dummy get in your head! My brother loves you more then anything! He told me so!" Marie says rubbing her eyes. "Stop it. Don't let Wyatt win…he always hurt big brother but big brother act like nothing happens and tries to move on…you make him happy. Why would he ever give that up…" Kaci smiled at her "Thank you Marie, thank you for helping me. Double scoop for you" she said standing up taking her hand they stepped over "one vanilla and one strawberry with two scoops" "And Cherry's!" Marie giggled out "And cherry's" Kaci said. The man nodded and started to make their ice cream.
Over by the others, Dustin walked on over wearing Power Rainbow t shirt, white Calf length Cropped capris' with black converse. Jess say him and smiled "Hey Dustin! How was the gray pride walk" Dustin chuckled "it was fun has always" he said walking over, he saw Joseph. He flushed and looked away walking over to Oichi and Jess.
Takara suddenly started screaming, making Sakamoto jump. They looked down to see a bee was hovering by her and flow away. "Beeeee!" Takara yells as she waves her hands. Oichi giggled. "I worry about her love of bees. What if she tries to catch one." (others)
Over by the guys they were back tossing the football back and forth. Ross was sitting on the grass next to Paxton. "Damn that kid. She could have broken me in half." Paxton chuckled. "It was funny. Only you will let a 7 year old treat you like that." Ross rubs his head. "She jumped me from behind. That's not fair at all." He lays back on the grass and sighs out. Paxton chuckled as he watched Joseph and Eric try to tackle Terry into ground.
Joseph and Eric rushed at Terry, Terry chuckled getting ready. Has they got close to him, they were suddenly kicked away from Terry falling on the ground sliding away. Terry grinned has River was snugging him in his side, wearing the cutest outfit. Printed Racerback Cami Top, Demin shorts, comfy leather of denim blue and slight tan sandals. Her hair still short. Jess smiled "River is here" Dustin chuckled.
Eric and Joseph sat up and frowned. "That was a bit much…" Joseph says. Eric got up. "Dammit Terry! Tell your girlfriend to stay out the game!" "Eric language!" They heard Faye yell out. "S-Sorry grandma!" Eric called out. Terry kissed River forehead. "Why don't you go sit with the girls for a bit. I did promise them a sound beating after all." He chuckling. River giggled "alright" she kissed him and skipping over to Jess and Oichi.
Kaci and Marie walked back over, Marie had already finished her ice cream cone "you devoured that cone" Kaci chuckled. "It was yummy! Thank you!"
Kaci chuckled at her as she skipped back over to Ty. Kaci looked over to Paxton and Ross, Ross was still on the ground. Kaci smiled softly and stepped over to them. Reaching them he laid down next to Ross's side putting his arm over Ross's stomach and his head on against his shoulder. He felt an arm wrap around him.
"Ty!" Marie yells tackling him into the ground. Ari giggles. Ty sits up. "Mar…we talked about this." Marie giggles. "I can't help it. I like hugging you!" Ty sighs. "Then do it without tackling."
Joseph walked over go Oichi. "I thought you were playing with Terry." "I was but then…" He points over to see Terry tackle Eric and Jack nearly into the ground. "I'm strong but I'm not that strong." He sits down in front of her. Takara smiles and waves at him. Joseph reaches out and grabs her hand. Takara starts walking from Oichi to him. "Seems like she likes you." Joseph smiles softly. "She's cute." Dustin flushed at him, Jess giggled "She is adorable!" River sat down and smiled "babies are super cute"
Kaci closes his eyes "I'm sorry" he snuggled more into Ross's side. "Its fine…just stop letting those bastards get into your head." Ross says.
Dawn walked over to Faye, Danni and Lily wearing black retro gal criss cross top, Dark Red Mesh Pleat Maxi Skirt and black sandals. In her arms was a lady bug car seat "Hey, sorry I'm a little late. I'm baby sitting for Zach" Danni's eyes widen "You have Rosy?!" Dawn chuckled and stepped over putting the car seat down next to her. There was a sun shade over the car seat, keeping her safe from the sun "Frank there's an umbrella and bouncer in my trunk can you get them?" Frank smiled "Sure!" he took Dawn's keys and jugged away. Danni looked down at Rosalina who was just sound asleep. She was wearing a very cute Striped two-piece romper set.
"So cute she is." Danni says smiling. Ronnie was flipping over burgers, ribs, and hot dogs. "Danni have you thought of a name yet?" He asks. "I made a list of names but I can't decided on what name fits!" Faye chuckled. "I'm excited on what you name him." Lily smiles. "Its nice to see you so happy Danni." Danni turned her. "Ms. Lily. You were always so kind and caring. I'm sorry it didn't work out with me and Dante but thank you for being happy for me." Lily nodded. "Of course dear. You both deserve your own life. If you ever need anything please don't hesitate to ask me." Danni nodded. "Thank you." Dawn chuckled and sat down, as Frank came walking over with the bouncer and umbrella. Putting the bouncer down he opened up the umbrella and with his strength he put it in the ground. "There you go ladies, shade" Dawn smiled "Thank you frank"
"I'm hungry…" Danni says rubbing her tummy. Faye and Lily looked at Dawn and smiled "So Dawn, how are you Zach doing?" Dawn blinked "huh?" Danni blinked at Dawn, "you have his scent all over you" Dawn flushed "It's nothing… I've been spending a lot of time with him…." Frank raised his eyebrow "mhmm and that bite mark I see fading on your neck?" Dawn quickly put her hand on neck "H-He… Was hungry… haven't had blood in 6 months"
The women chuckled. "I see." Danni says poking Dawn. "Frankkk I need food!" Danni says. "Your son is kicking me to." Frank chuckled "coming up!" Dawn flushed and looked down at Rosy who was still asleep.
Ari walked up to Sakamoto. "Hi." She says shyly. "Hey there." Sakamoto says. Ari looks down. "What's wrong?" Ari looks at who was sitting on Jess's lap. Marie was still hugging on Ty and Takara was now playing with Joseph. Ari placed her hand on his lap. "Sit…?" Sakamoto chuckled and picked her up. "Felt a little lonely huh?" She smiles as he rubbed his head. Ari giggled. Oichi smiles at them. "Aw you made friends with Ari." Jess chuckled "I know you girls wanna play a game?" Marie's head pops up. "I love games!"
Jess got up with Kim, and lifted her hand has Kim's eyes widen "Bubbles!" Kim giggled and running at them trying to pop them. Marie got up and pops one. Ari watches one and tries popping them but misses. She frowned. "No pop…" Sakamoto chuckled and grabbed her hands. "I'll help you." A bubble floated in her face and with his help she pops it. She smiles. "Pop." Takara waves her hands in the waves of bubbles giggling. Oichi chuckled. "You girls are such cutie pies. I wish I could just snuggle you all." River giggled and looked over at Terry and his brothers, she pouted "I wanna wrestle with him…" Dustin chuckled, glanced back over to Joseph, flushed he looked away quickly. Sakamoto saw this.
Kaci leaned up and see bubbles all over "Jess created bubbles for the kids" he chuckled "Kool" he said has one floated over to them, Kaci moved fast and popped it. "Lame." Ross says. "I'm taking a nap." A raven flew in the air. Paxton looks out and frowned as a few started to flock into the sky. "Mmmm...I'll be right back." He stood up and took flight into the sky.
Ronnie was getting ready to serve the food when he also looked up into the sky and saw the Ravens. He frowned as he grew uneasy. "Faye…call children back over here…" Faye looks at him. "What was that dear?" Dawn frowned feeling something "Faye I think we should…" Frank looked around "something off about thoughs crows"
In the sky more Ravens appeared in the sky, getting everyone attention, covering nearly half the town. Takara frowned. "ma…" Oichi grabbed Takara, standing up. "What's going on?" Sakamoto frowned. "Something is wrong." Jess frowned looking at the ravens "Kim" she rushed over by Jess's side. Dustin got up along with River, she growled slightly "ravens…"
Paxton frowned. "What the hell…" Just then a dark energy blast came from nowhere. Paxton eyes widen as he was hit full on. Oichi's eyes widen. "Paxton!"

Jess, Dustin and River where frowning more "Something is not right' River said sniffing the air.
Suddenly purple portals started to appear in the air and the ground as the ravens dispersed. From the top portal a flow of Demons with bat wings flew out. In the portal below, vampires, wolves, and more demons rushed out. A dark cloud covered the sky as the demons in the sky started to spread out into town. From the top portal Mephisto came out chuckling. He looked down at everyone and his eyes landed on Ronnie. "Hello King Ronnie. I have brought you a pre-banquet of war. On the courtesy of the dark witch Valeriea." He says chuckling. Eyes widen at him, river growled and her scales began to appear "I will kill everyone of you!" Jess bites her lip shielding Kim "Oichi we have to get the kids by Frank, he will put them in a divine barrier for protection!"
From the bottom portal, Thalia and Cassandra appeared. Sakamoto eyes widen. "That's…her…my great grandmother…and…" Terry eyes turned bright yellow eyes. "Cassandra!" Cassandra chuckled.

He eyes Kim and smirks. The demons from the sky scoops down. Towards Jess and the others.
Before the first demon could get through to them, Scar appeared and attacked the demon tearing him to shreds. "Scar!" Kim says. Scar growls out as he started to attack the men. Dawn took Rosy from her car seat as she start to cry "Shakira!" her summoning lightning tiger appeared and started to join Scar in attaching the men, Akalia feeling Jess's call appeared quickly biting and tearing up the men.
Ross puts Paxton down. A few demons came his way. He held up his hand and with one swipe he cut off their heads. His eyes were red. "Traitors…you will pay for hurting Paxton." Terry and Eric jumped back as they defended themselves from then horde of vampires and wolves in the mix. "What the hell is going on? Vampires, wolves, demons...on that witches side!Traitorous scum!" Eric yells out.
While scar was defending the children, Oichi and the others were trying to make it to the table but they were cut off by the masses. They charged back at Oichi and the group. Sakamoto stood in front of her fighting them off. A demon come down from sky to Oichi. Oichi smiles at Takara keeping her attention away from the fighting. Her aura claws grabbed the demon and tossed him aside. "Look at me sweetie keep your eyes on me." Dustin took out his vampire daggers he had safely hidden, was cutting down demons and vampires left and right "DIE!" she shouted. River turned into her humanoid dragon roared loudly knocking demons and vampires back, she grinned "I'm gonna enjoy killing you!" she attacked them.
Joseph was caring by Ty and Marie before he was stopped by a pack of wolf. "Take the children!" They scream. Joseph bit his lip. He has never been in a fight but he wouldn't let these beings take the kids.

Who caught, it and un-sheath it and it glowed with holy like light Jess smirked has the demons got close and she moved the sword slicing them with her blade, the demons where screaming in pain from the holy magic of the blade.
At the table, Ronnie was protecting Lily and Faye. "Lily dear…you should get the children and go. Your not fit for battle anymore." Her eyes glow slightly as she glanced at Thalia. Ronnie frowned. "Faye, you are in no condition to fight her. Leave with Lily and the children." "Mother…" Danni reached out to touch her. Faye walked away from her. She was angry, he aura flared out. "She came into my home, attacked my family, and took Terry. He head belongs to me." Faye says. Two demons and a wolf appeared in front of her. "Mother!" Danni yells out.
In a flash the demons and the wolf were cut down. Blood drops from Fayes claws. Danni shivered as Fayes aura pour out. "Ronnie…don't get in my way…" She walks out into the feel killing anyone who tried to stop her. Ronnie sighs. "I swear that woman…"
Dawn frowned "all these vampires and Demon!" Shalika was tearing them down. Hearing hissing, Dawn's eyes widen and turned around quickly with Rosy in her arms, who was crying. There was a swarm of vampires coming right for her. She gasped then a blur went in front of her, she smiled "Zach!" Zach's eyes widen glowed red and glared deadly at them, they froze from their blood boiling up "You are a disgrace to our race, you dear come after my woman and my CHILD!" he shouted has their body bubbled up and then explode everyone
Faye walks through the middle of the field and snapped the necks of some men. Oichi frowns. "Grandma! Please be careful…" Faye didn't answer as she walked by. "Scar…bring the children to Lily. Now." Faye says as her eyes darken. Scar growls but did what he was asked. Running over to Joseph he bit into the neck of a vampire and tossed his body to the side. Joseph frowned at this but put Ty and Ari on his back and ran towards Lily.
Faye stops as a horde of men came. She sighs out and placed her foot back. She brings back her fist and when they got close to her she threw a hard punch that caused a huge shockwave that pushed everyone away, making a clear path to Thalia. Sakamoto whistles. "Your grandma is kind of scary…" He says to Oichi.
Cassandra was leaning on a tree watching the chaos. "Thalia…we have unfinished business…" Faye says. Thalia took her sword and walked to Faye. "Yes we do. I will make sure to finish you off today. Lady Faye." They rushed at each other trading blows.
Kaci was punch and kicking with his strength vampires and demons "your all disgrace!" he said moving out of the way of one then snapped his neck. "Marie! head over to my uncle!" he shouted snapping other demons neck. Marie wasn't listening to him. She was handling her own. A wolf charged at her. She ducks down and lifted her leg straight up and kicks him right in the face. She then twirls around and kicks four demons out of her way. "I can protect myself!" She says with glowing eyes.
Kaci was about to say something when he was grabbed from behind and thrown hard on the ground. A foot landed on his chest. He looked up and his eyes widen to see Wyatt standing over him with a evil grin. "Hello toy. Ready to play ahaha." Kaci's eyes shined red "I'm gonna rip your fucken head off!"
Over by frank, he summoned the holy lance and demons where gasping "The HOLY SPEAR!" Frank smirked "Touch my woman and I will send you back to HELL!" he said swirling his spear cutting down demons.
Over by Ross he saw Wyatt pin Kaci down. He growls and rushes to them. He kicks Wyatt away from Kaci. "Take your damn hands off him!" Wyatt chuckles. "Oh Ross, you have never been so quick to anger and that will be your downfall. You come quick to your play toy but what about poor Paxton?" Ross turns around to see Paxton being taken by demons. "Paxton!" Wyatt punched Ross and then grabbed Kaci by his hair. He held him still placing his nails at Kaci's throat. "One wrong move…my lord…and you will have a broken toy." Ross bit his lip. He turned back to Paxton and then looked at Kaci. Wyatt chuckled. "So which will it be Ross? Your…former lover…Paxton..." Kaci eyes widen at what he said. "…or your shiny new toy?" Kaci's bites his lip has tears came down his face "Ross…."
They suddenly heard screaming as body came flying by them. They looked to see Sonya with her blade. She cuts the demons in half and grabbed Paxton. Wyatt bit his lip. 'Damn wolf!'

He tossed Kaci to the side. "Have fun ahaha!" Wyatt spreads bat likes wings and flies off. Kaci held his shoulder and screaming as black veins appear.
Ross grits his teeth. 'Dammit!' He picks up Kaci. He turns around to see Paxton slowly coming to. He looked over to him and motion him to leave. "Sorry Pax…" He opened a portal and quickly left with Kaci.
Sonya sliced down everything in her path. "Paxton? Are you okay?" Paxton was still recovering. "Y-Yeah…thank you…" Over by Joseph be was being pinned down by a wolf. "Disgusting half breed! I'll have your head!" He held his claws up. Oichi gasps. "Joseph!" Dustin's eyes widen and rushed at the wolf with his speed he grabbed the wolfs head "You will NOT TOUCH HIM!" he shouted twisting his head and ripping it off. Oichi ran over to Joseph. "Brother are you okay?" Joseph nodded and looked at Dustin. "Thank you for the help." Dustin flushed "No problem…"
By Faye, she and Thalia they traded more blows. Up top Mephisto was watching and saw a raven fly by. He smirked and cracked his neck. "Time to finish this up." He spreads his bat wings and drops down to where Faye and Thalia was. He lashes his claws out and slices Faye on her back. Fayes eyes widen as Thalia grabbed her neck and pin her down to the ground. Ronnie's eyes turned dark blue. "You dare lay a hand on my wife!"
Mephisto chuckled as he flew towards Jess who was protecting Kim. "Sorry witch, but I'll be taking that child from you!" He brushed past Jess, grabbing Kim. Kim eyes widen as she screams. "Kim!" Terry yells out. He tried rushing to her but he was cut off by Cassandra. "Your coming back with me boy." Eric and Jack jumped in front of Terry. "You won't lay a hand on him vampire!" They yelled.
Mephisto flew over the table smirking at Ronnie and flew back with Thalia behind him. Danni tried getting up but she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. Lily went to her quickly. "Danni, dear no! We have to get you out of here." "But Kim…" "Ronnie will get her…right now its not safe for you here." Frank frowned "Danni Lily is right, Go!" Dawn behind Zach has he made other vampires explode and Shalika was standing guard over Dawn.
Ronnie first got to Faye whose back was bleeding. "Faye…" She pushed her hand away. "Go get our granddaughter! I'll be fine!" She yelled at him. Ronnie nodded. "I'll be back with her as soon as I can." He quickly chased after Mephisto and Thalia.
Jess and River ran after them "KIM!" River growled "I will kill you!", they both ran after them. Jess reaching Mephisto, with a hard kick she snatched Kim while Mephisto went black has a purple dark barrier appeared around him. Jess frowned "always protected by her, can't even face your battles without her!"
Cassandra knocked back Eric and Jack and smirked as she went for Terry. River suddenly grabbed her by the arm, with one powerful pull River ripped her arm clean off. Cassandra eyes widen as she jumped back. "Damn dragon. That boy will be mine. Everyone retreat!" She yelled out. Purple portals opened up and the men retreated. Cassandra chuckled. "We already have what we came for and soon your precious grandfathers head will roll." She laughed as she backs off in a portal. Jess and River frowned at her, River still had Cassandra's arm.
Off in the distance, Thalia and Ronnie were battling. She thrusted her sword toward cutting his cheek a bit. "You can't dodge me forever king Ronnie. Die." Ronnie blocks her attacks left and right and knocks her back. "Lady Thalia I do not wish to fight you. Please stand down…" Thalia held her sword up. "Not until your death and after you die a war will flare. We Vampires will rule as supreme as we were meant to be." "Those are not your words Lady Thalia. Not the woman I know. You hated war and you wanted peace just like everyone else. You would never agree to something like this. Think about your family."
"She has and the deed is done." A hand went through Ronnie's stomach. Ronnie's eyes widen and he turned back to see Mephisto. "You let your guard down Ronnie and now you shall pay." Thalia appeared in front of him and raise her sword. She brought it down and cut Ronnie's left arm off. Ronnie screams out in pain. Mephisto chuckled and pulled his hand out of Ronnie's stomach. "Deliver the final blow." Mephisto says going to Ronnie's arm. Thalia cut Ronnie down with a deep cut from his shoulder across his stomach. Ronnie's eyes went empty and he drops. "Should we bring the head?" Mephisto opened a portal. "No. Let's go. We have what he came here for. Ahaha."
As soon as they went through the portal, Faye came running through the trees. Looking around her eyes widen as she saw Ronnie on the ground. She tears up. "No…No!" She screams out running to him.

Jess's widen and a green aura rushed out of her, putting down by Oichi Jess was near Ronnie fast, tears ran down her face "Ronnie my friend it will be alright! Stay with us!" Faye lifted his head in tears. She held him close. "Not yet Ron…don't leave me yet…" Jess frowned, "I have to stop the bleeding!" she flited her hands as water appeared over her hands they glowed as she hover them over his shoulder to stop the bleeding.
Jackal and a few other wolfs dropped down but it looks like some were injured. "Lady Faye…my King…" He bit his lip and drops to his knees. "My lady, there has been trouble in the town! Various humans have been taken by demons and some have disappeared within mysterious portals!" Jess was still healing his shoulder, Zach stepped over "Lady faye…."
Faye sniffed. "Forgive me…but I cannot see to that matter right now... while my husband lays here fighting for his life." "Of course my lady, we shall bring him home right away." Jackal carefully picks up Ronnie and rushes off. Faye looked down at her hands to see Ronnie's blood on them she shivered as she tried to keep it together. One of the guards came over. "Make…your report to King Zach…" She says before being lead away to Ronnie.
Zach looked at the guard "tell me quickly" "Of course sir. It seems like the target was humans. They are disappearing without a trace left and right. Reports say that Demons, Vampires, werewolves and many other paranormal creatures might have join the witches side, wishing to end the treaty…but we aren't sure yet..."
Jess frowned and looked at him "Zach finish taking reports" she said rushing over to Oichi "Oichi! Their taking your grandfather to the manor" "JESSS!" it was rick running towards them jess sighs.
Dustin looked at Joseph "I'm glad your okay" Zach looked over to the boys "Dustin! Meet up with Chida and Jin to take care of the mess in Town!" Zach shouted, Dustin nodded and with his vampire quickness he planted a kiss on Joseph cheek and rushed off with his speed. Joseph rubbed his cheek. 'Why did he kiss me a second time…?'
Rick appeared over "Jess! You alright?" Jess nodded "I'm fine, go and help your family" Rick frowned "but" Jess's shined "now" she said in a low voice, he frowned but nodded rushing off. Oichi grabbed Joseph. "Come let's go…Saki! Come on!" Sakamoto nodded. "Aren't they taking him back home?" "No. They will be taking grandpa back to the kingdom. With his injuries he would be safer there." Joseph frowned and nodded as they left.
Zach stepped to dawn kissing her forehead "Head to the Mikcloud manor, you will be safe there. Take Rosy with you" Dawn nodded "of course, be careful Zach" Dawn said stepping over to car seat and place Rosy in who still slightly fussing "Shhh, it's alright dear" Dawn picked it up and walked off to her car, Shalika still there followed her.

Kaci sniffed, tears went down his cheek "Why didn't you tell me about Paxton…. We may be a couple but where still family…" he winced in pain "I would have understand…." Kaci's bite wound was slowly closing and the black veins were disappearing. Kaci reached up and pulled Ross down into a kiss "You picked me… why?"
"I'll tell you once everything is calmed down." "Maybe we should go and see how Marie and Paxton is doing…." Kaci mentioned to him. "They are fine. You saw how strong Marie is and Paxton has…" Ross sighs. "He has that chick so stop worrying about others and get some rest." Kaci leaned up and rests his head on Ross's shoulder "Sleeping" Ross smiled at him "the anti-venom does cause drowsiness" he picked Kaci up and walked him off to the bedroom.

Paxton says as Sonya leans more on him. Oichi pats Sakamoto's leg. "This will work itself out so leave it be. Now let's find a movie to watch. Marie gets to pick since it's her birthday."

Frank chuckled "I'll bring him to his sister and aunt, rest love" Danni smiled and closes her eyes, Zach chuckled "go on Frank" Frank nodded getting up and left the room with Zane. Waking in the waiting room, he see's Oichi, Sakamoto and Dawn with Rosy. He smiled stepping over "Oichi, Dawn" Dawn's eyes widen and stood up "Frank" He smiled "Meet Zane" Dawn smiled looking down at him "he's so adorable, his eyes wow" Oichi smiled looked at Zane. "Hess so cute! I love him!"
Frank blinked and turned to see his mother standing there in Fantastic Pant Suits Chiffon & Lace Spaghetti Straps Neckline Full-length suite. Frank smiled "Mother" Dawn blinked and bowed her head slightly in respect "archangel Uriel" Oichi and Sakamoto did the same.
Uriel smiled stepping over "My son, he's beautiful may I?" Frank smiled and handed Zane to his mother, Uriel gently took him. Holding him "you look just like your father when he was a baby" Frank flushed. Dawn chuckled.
Uriel smiled down at him "No dought your family in heaven watched your birth, you very special my grandchild first of your kind, a tri. Half human, half wolf and half angel. You are such a blessing" Frank smiled brightly at him mother, Zane looked right up at his grandmother and his eyes shined and smiled. Uriel giggled "yup such a blessing" Oichi held hands with Sakamoto. "Welcome to the family baby Zane.
On March 22nd, it was Kaci's 117th birthday. It was early in the morning, Delica wearing Black Round Neck Long Sleeve Shift Maxi Dress and black heels was waiting at the gates that lead to the Meyers family tombs with a Grivadan red rose in her hand. Turning to see Kaci and Dustin walking down the steps wearing the same outfit, black V neck shirt, black men's skinny jeans and black converse. They both had Grivadan Red roses in their hands, Delica smiled "boys" they hugged her "Mothers" they both said kissing her temples. She smiled link her arms with them "Let go see your father" she said has Kaci opened the gates and the three of them headed down to the tombs.
Deep in the snowy Tandra in Demyan's domain, inside of a mountain in tomb. A hooded figure walked through the catacomb-like tomb, there is a room with a large number of curved diamond shapes in the center of each tile are different shades of gray, there was a tunnel at the end of this room that lead to the other room. Stepping on one, he heard a click making him stop could feel some heat, quickly running over the floor as flames burst up from the floor, it was a floor trap.
Reaching the tunnel in time for the room being engulf with flames, sighing from the tunnel, he headed through the tunnel and exited out to another room. With a stone like bridge over two sides of water and there at the end was a small stone what he can see a dagger on it. Taking a breath he walked over the bridge but stopped the room shook slightly and two status came up from the water, he frowned and quickly rushed to the end of the room has the statues shoot lightning streams. Dodging them he reached the end where the stone pillar was. Smirking he stepped over to it, Dagger features an embedded skeleton sculpted into it. Smirking he reached out "Finally the blade of Ashes…" gently taking it off, he could feel the dark power of it by just holding it. Suddenly the room shook making his eyes widen looking around has the room started to cave in. he slightly panicked and then saw a tunnel out of a secret way.
Rushing over to the tunnel using his speed he reached the end of a dead end, he frowned has the tunnel started to cave him. Biting his lip he looked around the dead end and sees a button on the wall pushing it the wall opened and he rushed out in time has the tunnel went in. Out of the mountain he was on the side of it. Sighing he looked at the dagger he smirked "finally" hearing wolf howls he groaned and quickly left the area.
Oichi was frowning as she read a royal report from the council members from the kingdom. "They want me to return to the kingdom? Today!?" Yain and Hannah were on a knee in front of her. "Yes my lady. With him in a Coma the royal members are to come and speak on how the kingdom will be run." Oichi sighs. "Then what was the point of forming that stupid council forming if we have to end up coming?" Hannah looked at her. "My lady, I understand it's a last second thing but this is very important. Your mother and her siblings will also be getting a similar letter." Oichi looks back and letter. "Who wrote this?" "Sir Elijah. Head of the council." "Then this isn't a official royal letter." They looked at her. "If it was my grandmother would have written this herself and sealed it with her stamp. Does she know your contracting me and the family?"
Hannah and Yain looked at each other. Oichi handed them back the later. "Then you tell this Elijah guy that until an official royal report, sent by Faye Tanaka, his words are meaningless. They may be a council but they do not have the power to summon use like a pack of common wolves and it's even worse if he did this behind Grandmothers back. Make sure you tell him to tread carefully." Yain and Hannah bows. "Yes, Lady Oichi." They quickly headed out.
Oichi rubbed her head. 'Grandpa…is his condition really that bad though…' "Look at you, talking like a true princess." Oichi looked to see Sakamoto walking out with Takara. "I see those lessons are paying off." Oichi stretches. "Maybe , maybe not. It's not right if they went behind her back just to gather us." She took Takara from Sakamoto. "Nothing but a pack of greedy wolves looking for a easy way to the top…"
Down in a tomb, Delica and her sons walked in a room with a tomb in the middle of the room. Delica sniffed walking over to the tomb placing the rose down, she sat down next to tomb "Oh Draven… I miss you…" Kaci and Dustin frowned stepped over placing the roses down, knelling down "Mom it's okay" Delica sniffed "your son, our first born turns 117 today" Kaci smiles softly "He's always here mom, we can still feel him" Dustin nodded "Yeah mom" Delica sniffed "I know I can feel him every time I come down here… it's horrible he died on your birthday… a decade ago…" Kaci and Dustin hugged has she starts to tear, teas came from their faces.
At Franks, Danni was on the phone with her older sister. "Still in a coma…nothing has really changed?" Danni sighs. "What about mother? Is she at least getting some rest?" She placed a hand on her hip. "Seriously? Ugh…well no I cant come today…I don't care what that temporary council say. If mother calls me then yes I will drop everything and come right away but I wont be at the back and call of those idiots…" She paces. "Yeah, I get that but…" She sighs. "Fine, Fine! You win dammit! I'll bring Oichi with me after we are finished with our plans over here. You all act like father is going to die!" She hangs up the phone and does her best to tone her anger down before she threw her phone into the wall She sits down on the couch and groans out. "I hate meetings…" Frank came out with Zane in his arms "You Okay?" Zane started to fuss.
"The council is more worried about who will run stuff then my father's condition." Frank sighs "there's a reason why the magic council has been on the low down because no one listens to them anymore. Soon that council in your kingdom wont be there anymore" he said placing Zane in her arms who right away went to her boobs, Frank chuckled "Someone is hungry"
"Yeah…but father always dealt major issues and the council handed anything low with the citizens and financial things and so on…with Father still in the coma they have forgotten their morals and would rather try to sit on his throne the to help figure out a way to keep the public calm. There is already tension between our clans and Seth…ugh…I hate it but I have to go and take Oichi with me to make sure those idiots don't try to undermine mother…" She smiled at Zane.
4pm came around, in the Home Theater, Kaci and Dustin where sitting on the comfy couch still wearing the same outfit from earlier. Jess walked in with Rick, she was wearing a Winning Look Black Skater Dress, tan Leather Jacket and brown ankle heeled boots. Jess held up a black electric guitar "Happy birthday Kaci!" Kaci's eyes widen and he got up and walked over "No way!" he took the guitar "you didn't have too…" Jess chuckled "well you said you needed a new one" Kaci smiled and hugged kissing her cheek making Rick frowned "thank you Jess" Jess giggled "you are welcome" Kaci went back to sit next to his brother.
Jess and Rick took their seats has Chida and Jin stepped in "Happy birthday!" Kaci smiled "Thanks" "Your gift is in your room, I got you a color pencil set, the advance set for artist's" Kaci chuckled "Thanks!" Jin chuckled "sorry man but I didn't get you anything" Kaci rolled his eyes "Yeah, yeah" Chida pulled Jin over to the couch and sat down.
Oichi and Sakamoto walked in. Takara was on the back of Sakamoto's neck with her head down on his head, giggling to herself. Her hands were tangled in his hair, something he didn't mind. Oichi had a gift box. "Happy birthday Kaci." Handing him the box he opened it and pulled out a bracelet with art items on it. Kaci smiled "Wow thank you Oichi!"
"Happy Birthday. I would have gotten you a gift but your air headed boyfriend threaten me not to." Sakamoto says rolling his eyes. Dustin, Chida and Rick chuckled. Kaci sighs "I'm sorry about him" Sakamoto shook his head and sat down. "It's whatever. More money towards Takara. Right bumblebee?" "Bee…" Takara says almost tiredly. Oichi sat next to him chuckling.
Kaci leans back, Dustin looked at him "you alright?" Kaci sighs "He's not here yet…." Dustin chuckled "He will be here, I don't think he will miss your day" Dustin said leaning back against he couch next to Kaci, Kaci put his head on his brother's shoulder "He better not"
Jess smiled down at Takara "you think it would have been good to bring her…? Knowing Kaci he's gonna be playing some horror movie…"
"She's about to go to sleep so it's fine. She falls asleep on Sakamoto head so soundly and cute!" Oichi says rubbing her back.
Ross, Paxton and Marie walked in. Ross see's Kaci have his head on Dustin's shoulder. He frowned and steps over. Kaci smiles "You're here!" Ross narrowed at Dustin "Move" Dustin sighs gets up "Sheesh, overbearing ass" he said taking the long end of the couch. "Well if I wasn't overbearing, I'd be getting lectured on why I'm not." Ross says sitting down beside Kaci, putting a arm around him, kissing his cheek.
Kaci chuckled "you didn't have to like that with Dustin" Marie sat on the couch next to Kaci hugging him "Happy birthday!" Kaci chuckled "Thank you Cuss" Ross chuckled "Yes happy birthday" Kaci giggled. Ross moved Marie off him "Enough Marie" Marie pouted "Meanie!" Paxton sat down "Stop it" Damien showed up "Yo Kac! Happy 117 birthday! I got this for you" Ross frowned and Damien walked over and lifted a black cat with red eyes, Kaci gasped "Is that an immortal demon CAT?!" Damien grinned "Yup, I own the mother who had kittens so here you go, the cat is a female" Kaci gently took it and she meowed on him, Kaci snuggled him.
Kaci then got with the car in his arms making Ross frown "Hey…" Kaci shook his head and walked up on the small stage were the screen was "HEY Attention!" they all became quite Damien whistled "Is the birthday boy gonna give a dance?" Ross growled loud, Kaci frowned "Ross don't behave…" Jess smack the back of Damien's head "Knock it off" Damien rubbed the back of his head "Alright I apologize" Ross rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.
"Alright, So I have picked out an awesome classic horror movie and one of my favorite horror movie, Hannibal Rising" Chida and Rick smirked "Yeah!" they shouted, "So then, let's get this movie started! Uncle I know you behind that wall, start up the movie and the pizza is here" he pointed to the door, Delica walked in with 10 boxes on pizza.
"We have pepperoni then Pepperoni with Sausage and Mushroom, and plain Cheese and one with raw meat on it" she opened up three boxes and put the rest in on the counter. Soon everyone had there one pieces of pizza, Jess back on Rick's lap. Kaci sat down next to Ross and the lights dimmed down making the boys cheer and the movie began.
Oichi had Takara on her lap, she'd had fallen asleep. Sakamoto had placed her ear buds in her ears so that she wouldn't wake up. Luckily, since Oichi couldn't eat pizza, they had already eaten before they came over. Marie had slid next to Paxton and laid her head on his lap. He rubbed her head and he leans on his elbow.
In Demyan's domain, him and his pack looked at the caved in tunnel on the side of the mountain. Demyan frowned "Anything?" his guards nodded "They sensed someone but he or she left quickly" Demyan frowned then something caught his nose, he sniffed and walked over to broken sharp rock, he looked to see blood on it. There wasn't that much, knelling down and sniffed. His eyes widen, his guards blinked at him "My lord?" Demyan stood up fast "Back to the castle, I need to contact Zach…" he said rushing off, his guards followed him
Jess and Rick snuck away from the party, they were walking in the gardens at night under the full moon. Holding hands, she giggled has Rick twirled making her smile "My, my" Rick smirked and moved softly her "I love you" Jess smiled "I love you too"
"How cute" their eyes widen and turned sharply to see Clover standing there, Rick hissed "Uncle!" Jess frowned at him "Clover" Clover's eyes glowed and a dark smirk came to his face and charged at them, Rick hissed and charged forward.
In the house, the movie and just ended. "Wooo! That was awesome!" Dustin says with a chuckle "Yeah!" Chida chuckled. Kaci got up with his cat "alright, anyone ready for the next one?!" "Yeah!" the boys shouted, Ross he felt something off. He stood up, Kaci look at him "Hun?" he could smell it, it was clover's scent but it was mixed with dark magic. "Clover is here…"
Kaci's eyes widen "Clover…?" the door burst open and Zach rushed in "where's Rick and Jess!?" Oichi frowned "They ditched the party and went outside…" Zach had a panic look on his face and rushed out the door. Chida, Dustin, Damien stood up fast and rushed out the door "We have to find them!" Chida shouted. Kaci bites his lip "Ross we have to make sure Clover doesn't get to Jess!" "Then we better get going." He says as they followed the others. Oichi handed a sleeping Takara to Marie. "Can you stay here and watch her for me?" Marie nodded. "I protect her sissy." Oichi kissed her forehead and went out with everyone else.
Jess was knocked back for a moment from the aftershock of the gardens being destroy by one punch from Clover, she hit her head on the ground. Rick was one side and Jess was on the other... Clover came up to with a dagger "You will finally die!" Her eyes widen has that dagger came down like slow motion. Rick on the other side of the gardens eyes widen and run has fast has his vampire speed can go. Rick appeared in front of Jess with his back facing her, that dagger came down right in his chest making Rick's eyes widen. Jess's eyes widen "R-rick…" Clover eyes widen and back up "You FOOL! You idiot!" he shouted, Rick fell back and Jess caught him "Rick!"
Everyone appeared outside, Zach's eyes landed on his son making them go wide, seeing that dagger in his chest. Chida, Dustin, Oichi and Sakamoto's eyes widen. Kaci and Ross rushed out, Kaci gasped "RICK!" he went to rush over but Ross grabbed him "Kaci wait!" Damien's bites his lip "Ross that dagger" Ross frowned looking at it.
Jess sat there holding Rick, tearing "R-Rick..! no" Rick smiled "J-Jess…" Jess frowned took a hold of the dagger taking it out of him "Heal!" Rick frowned "I.. Can't.." Jess looked at the dagger and her eyes widen "the blade of ashes but… this is suppose to me sealed away…" Clover bites his lip "I took it you filthy witch!"
Tear's went down her face "R-Rick please don't leave me…" Rick smiled weakly and reached up touch her cheek "I.. l-love you" he said has his eyes closed. Jess's eyes widen, she screamed "NOOOO!" Zach, Chida, Dustin and Kaci's eyes widen. Damien frowned. Sakamoto grabbed Oichi who tried to get to Jess. "Saki! Let me go I have to go to Jess!" He pulled her behind him. "No…you can't…"
Clover bites his lip and then sighed "It's your fault really, for loving you! If he never loved you he would still be alive!" Clover shouted. Jess gently put down Rick and stood up "For loving me… huh?" Clover narrowed at her and then smirked "Yes, for loving you"
Right away Damien and Ross felt it a surge of something powerful and it wasn't magic, around her and clover swirled power has the gardens began to break apart. Clover eyes wide "What the….?" Jess becomes enraged has her eyes shined pure green, walking towards Clover has his skin started to pill off his face and he froze. He couldn't move from the magic "W-What The FUCK?"
Zach backed up Chida and Dustin "Everyone be careful!" Delica rushed out "Dustin! Kaci!" her eyes widen at What Jess was doing "what the…" Deliora stepped outside and frowned on what was happening "Clover…" Oichi grips on Sakamoto's arm. "Jess…"
Clover screamed as Jess got close to him and lifted her arms up has Clover's was tearing apart from the power she suddenly had. Zach watched this "Mother.. what power is this…?" Deliora closes her eyes "WE cannot interfere or will be caught in her rage, like Regina she has the ability kinetic energy-kness" Chida and Dustin frowned. Kaci bites his lip "we have to do something…" "No, we don't. It's already to late for that…" Ross says.
Clover's body suddenly burst into dust, their eyes widen has the dust blew off from the power around her. Jess's hand went up to her head holding it and screamed. Deliora's eyes widen "Oh she's losing control!" Zach's eyes widen pulled Chida and Dustin back.
Damien bites his lip and stepped towards her, Zach's eyes widen "Damien stop! With her like this you will be killed!" they can see his skin coming off his face. Blue flames appeared next to Zach making him jump as Hades stepped out. Delica and Deliora eyes widen "Lord Hades…"
Hades frowned "Son! Your deity forum!" he shouted, as Damien's eyes closed and flames appeared around him and he transformed into his deity demon like form. Reaching out he touched her cheek "Jess it's alright, calm down" he pulled her into a hold make the power suddenly stop and stuff fell from that was caught into the power. She fell to her knees crying and tear. Damien held her "Shhh… let it all without killing everyone…" Oichi got out of Sakamoto's grip and rushed over. "Jess!" She placed a hand on her back gently. She looked at Rick's body and tears up. "Oh Jess…"
Zach, Chida, Dustin and Kaci breaking form Ross's grip rushed over to Rick's body. Knelling down next to him, Zach frowned "He's gone…" Chida bites his lip with tears down his face "No he can't be! Father heal him!" Zach closed his eyes "I can't…. he was stabbed by the blade of ashes…" he says looking over to it. Hades stepped over picking it up "I wonder how your brother got this?" Zach stood up "I got a call from Demyan… Clover broke into the tomb made and took the dagger…. He contacted me to late…." He said looking over to Jess, tearing in Damien's arms who was back in his human forum and Oichi next to her. "the dagger.. I know has the power to sever soul bonds… Hades give it to Jetter let him put it in his vault" Hades sighs "It's my dagger after all but I guess the safest place would be in the Mikcloud's hands" he said opening a portal and disappearing in it.
Ross was looking at Rick and sighed. 'Another death…seems like everyone is dying left and right these days…' He felt a slight pain in the back of his head but he ignored it. 'To much chaos even for me right now.'
Around midnight, the sound of thunder cracked through the sky. Everyone was still there, they were hanging out in the family room not far from Rick's room. Oichi was sitting on the couch with Sakamoto and Takara. Oichi was feeding her.
Chida was on the floor, Jin holding him. Dustin sitting near them holding his knee's. Kaci on Ross's lap with his face in Ross's neck, sniffing "I wonder how Jess is doing…." She was locked up in Ricks room.
They heard running footsteps and see Dawn run past the rom. Dawn ran in the hallway and see's Damien standing outside Rick's room with his head on the door "Damien!" he turned his head not removing his head from the door "Lady Dawn… she wont let me in, she wont let anyone in…" Dawn frowned and moved him out the door and banged on the door "Jessica! Let your mother in!" it was quiet for a moment "Go away!" they heard shout, Dawn sighed "Jess let me" "Dawn" she turned to see Deliora "Zach wants to see you" Dawn sighs but nodded walking off.
In Rick's room, Jess laid on the bed tearing '"You will lose him, it's fate. Like his past life, he will die in front of you like what happen to Jareth and Regina. Jareth died in her arms, and it will be the same. He will die, and you cannot change fate"' Markth's voice echoed in her head. "Rick…." She softly says and thunder crack made her jump up slightly and looked out of the window. She bites her lip, getting up she opened the window has rain started to poor down and lighting and thunder echoed in the sky "I need to get away…." She turned to the door and frowns "goodbye Oichi…" she says and jumped out of the room disappearing.
Oichi in the room, just got done feeding Takara. She had handed her to Sakamoto when she heard Jess's voice in her head 'goodbye Oichi' Oichi's eyes widen. She jumped up quickly getting everyone's attention. She speed off to Rick's room. Sakamoto frowned and got up, running after her.
Making it upstairs, Damien was still at the door. Oichi grabbed him and pushed him to the side. "Oichi…she won't let…" Oichi kicked the door in and ran inside. Looking around she bit her lip as she a open window. She ran to the window. "Jess!" She screamed out. Damien rushed in "Oichi what are you" he noticed Jess was gone
Oichi's hand grips the window seal, crushing it in her hands. "She's…gone…she left…" The boys rushed in "Oichi what's" Kaci stopped and notice Jess is gone "Where's.. Jess?" Chida and Dustin frowned.
Oichi was silent as she held her head down. Tears dropped down face and hit her hands. She wanted to go out and find Jess but when Jess didn't want to be found she can make it that way. She let's go of the seal and slides down to the floor. Sakamoto gave Takara to Ross to hold. Rushing to Oichi he takes a knee beside her. "Ichi…" "I…If I lost you…I'd want to leave to…" Oichi says hanging her head down. Dawn walked into the room "kids what's going on…?" the boys frowned at her, she frowned has thunder roared in the sky and rain fell. She looked around "Where's my daughter….?' "She's gone." Sakamoto says.
Dawn's eyes widen and rushed to the window "JESS!" Zach, Delica and Deliora stepped in "What happen?" Chida looked at them "Jess… she ran away…" Zach's eyes widen, Dawn was about to jump out be he rushed to pulling her away making her scream "NO! I have to find her! You know! When a soul mate dies the other half follows! She could die alone!" "Dawn calm yourself! She's not gonna die!"
Zach held her face "Listen to me, the dagger has an other power, it has the dark power to cut soul bonds, even ask Ross" Dawn's eyes widen and looked at Ross. "Its true." Ross says bouncing a giggling Takara.
Oichi sniffs has tears went down her face, then a scent came to her. Her eyes widen and stood up stepping over to the bed. The boys looked at her and knelled down and sniffed the sheets, Sakamoto blinked at her "Ichi.. what you doing…?"
Oichi looked at Dawn and more tears started running down her cheek. "Auntie…Jess…she's…she's pregnant…" She says holding the sheets. Dawn's eyes widen "What…?" Zach frowned and looked out the window "I don't think she knows either…" the boys frowned "pregnant…"Chida says softly "then we have to find her!" Kaci says "She's caring a baby in her! She shouldn't be out in the weather!"
Zach closes his eyes "Jin" Jin perked up "Yes sir?" "Get your wolf pack to find her, I know with the rain it will be hard but we have to find her" they suddenly heard Danni in the hallway "Where is everyone!?" he sighs "Oichi go tell your mother… everyone just be on the alert if you sense or smell her you know what to do, just be careful… she is after all caring my grandchild" he said. Dustin, Chida and Kaci nodded.
Oichi sighs and dries her tears. She heads to Ross. "May I have her back?" Takara smiled. "Ma!" Oichi smiles softly back at her and takes her from Ross. Sakamoto quickly follows after her.
Danni looking around tapping her feet. "I didn't come all the way in this weather to be ignored here…" "Mama…" Danni looked to see Oichi and Sakamoto. Danni frowned and then sighs. "What happened now?" Oichi looked down. "Clover…he came and…" Sakamoto placed a hand on her shoulder. "Rick died protecting Jess." Danni crossed her arms. "I see…and where is Jess?" "We don't know. She just left…and her scent in the room. She's pregnant mama…and she might not even know." Oichi tears up. Danni reaches out and cups her chin.
She smiles softly. "Everything will be okay. A lot of things seem to be falling off the edge here but the one thing we don't do is lose hope and faith. We will find Jess in due time. It is a sad time to lose Rick and we will mourn but you should never forget the happy memories that you all had together." She pulled Oichi into a hug and kissed her head.
Jess running through the forest, deeper and deeper she went, she was went and slightly cold from the pouring rain. Thunder roared in the sky and rain kept on falling down. Hearing howling she stopped, she know it was Jin's pack. She frowned 'there looking for me…' her legs moved and moved. Reaching an grassy and rocky hill she started to climb up it, hearing howls off in the distance. Reaching the top she took a step the ground caved under her making her eyes widen has she fell and fell, her eyes closed when she hit water, her body went under. Sinking her eyes opened to see a figure walking over her on the water 'who is.. that…?' her eyes closed slightly only see 9 like tails. Her eyes closed and darkness took over her.
With nothing more they could do, Danni had told Sakamoto to take Oichi home and to also pack a bag. Even if it was the worse timing. The family had been officially called upon to discuss the kingdom and Ronnie. As the next in line she was required to be there even if she didn't want to.
At the apartment, Oichi sighs as she lays flat on the bed. "Jess…Rick…why are so many bad things happening. Its not fair and to be summoned of all things back home." She bit her lip and turned over. "I hate feeling so useless."
Next door, Ross and the others had also returned. Ross had locked everyone out of his room and was standing in the bathroom with his head down. He sighs out and as he did the sink in front of him started to melt. He slowly looked up to see his left eye was completely red and blood started to leak from it. He sighs. "Fuck…it hasn't even been 10 years yet…" He grips the sink. "My time is running out already." Kaci knocked on the door "Ross! You alright?" Ross takes a rag and turns the sink on. He quickly washes his face off. He takes a few deep breaths as his eye turned back to normal. He walked out the bathroom and opened his room door. "Hey, sorry about that. Just need some thinking time to myself. It's been long night you know." Kaci nodded "yeah…"
He goes to his dresser to look for something. "It sucks but I'll have to make your birthday up to you a bit later. I'm pretty wiped out with everything that went on today." Kaci frowned "yeah I can understand, you wanna just cuddle and sleep? I'm pretty tired myself… I don't wanna go back to moms…." Ross hops in the bed. "Sure. I'm always up for cuddles and sleep."
Hearing creaking of fire, Jess's eyes slid open. She groaned in pain sitting up slightly "where.. I'm I…?" she looked around. She was in a bedroom, cabin like look. She frowned looking around until she hear footsteps walking up the stairs, she looked around to fight something with, but the person reached the top. Jess blinked has it was a woman, white hair with blue fox like eyes. She had a blue like kimono on, her beautiful was radiant. She had Japanese figure to her face. She was caring a tray with tea cups on it, she smiled at Jess "your up good she stepped over to jess. Jess frowned "Where I'm I?" the woman sat down with the tray putting down on the bed "You are in my cabin with the cavern you fell into" Jess blinked at her "cavern… fell into…?" the woman looked at her "Oh you don't remember…? Properly from such impact from the water you hit"
Jess frowned then it came back to in the flash, falling in the cavern, hitting water sinking into it then seeing figure with tails. Jess's eyes widen and looked at her "What are you…?" the woman raised her eyebrow and stood up "I figure you would now already since you're her reincarnation" then a sudden memory hit her, it was one Regina's memory's.
~memory~
Regina was walking through the forest in her witch like outfit. Hearing soft cry's, she blinked and followed them, reaching where the cry's where she see's something on the ground, it was a white fox with 2 tails, it was licking it's wounded paw. Regina frowned stepped over putting away her dagger "you alright?" the fox's eyes and ear perked up and saw Regina and growled t her, Regina smiled and knelled "There, There I wont hurt you. I can heal you" the fox growling more but stopped and slowly stepped over to her, the fox sniffed Regina's hand and licked it. Regina chuckled "you are so sweet and cute" she said lifting her hand has a green glow appeared the wound on the fox's paw healed. The fox looked at it and then her and wagged the tails then suddenly with a poof of smoke, Regina's eyes widen to see a child with white hair, white ears and two white tails. She gasped "you're a kitsune…." The child smiled "thank you, my name is Aii" Regina chuckled "I'm Regina, would you like to come home with me? I know this sweet gently wolf who would love some company" Aii wagged her tails "Oh yes please! I don't want to be hunted by hunters!" Regina picked her up "Come then, with me you will be safe"
~end of memory~
Jess's eyes widen more "Aii…" Aii smiled "you remember know?" Jess sniffed and reached out hugging her. Aii chuckled hugging her back "It's good to finally be with you again, Regina"
Sakamoto frowned as Oichi got ready to leave. There was still no word on Jess's whereabouts. "Are you sure I can't come with you?" Oichi smiles and kisses his cheek. "I'm sorry Saki. Only the royal family." She blushed. "If we were married then yes…you could come with me…but as it stands…" Sakamoto sighs. "I see…" He pulls her close and kisses her. He bumps his forehead with hers. "Be careful hun…" Oichi nods and left to meet her mother and Joseph.
Out in the outskirts, Joseph was looking around. "Why am I coming to?" Danni rubbed his head. "You're my son silly and even if you don't share my blood, your father's clan has been in our service for a very long time as a respect ally." Joseph looked down. "So does that make me the last of his clan?" Danni frowned. "Yes. Unfortunately. Until you have children. Depending on who you have them with." Joseph blushes at that. Danni chuckles.
They then both see Oichi appear. "Hi mama, Hi Joseph. Ready to see our home?" "A little nervous to be honest. How long will it take us to get there." "I'll be the one caring you so a few hours at the least." Joseph looked at her as she tossed her bag to him. "Say what?" He watched in shock as Oichi transforms into her huge wolf form. "Whoa…WHOA!" Joseph says. Danni laughs. "So cute." Oichi bends down, letting Danni get on. Joseph stood there a little unsure on what to do. That was until he felt something wrap around him. "No time for you to be shell shocked brother." Oichi says to him as she places him in her back with her aura paw. "Hold on to me right dear." Joseph nodded as he wrapped his hand around Danni. "Let's go Oichi." Oichi nodded and quickly took off. Danni felt Joseph tighten his grip around her waist. She chuckled as they left to the kingdom.
Jess was scarfing down some food, she at the dinning table eating. Aii chuckled "You must be hungry, with of course in your condition" Jess stopped eating looked at her "what condition…?" Aii raised her eyebrow "Can't you sense it…?" she poked Jess in the tummy. Jess's eyes widen looking down at her tummy "I'm….I'm…" Aii smiled "Pregnant" Jess gasped and stood up fast "but… Rick.. he.." Aii stood up and held her hands "I know what you have told me, Rick died and yet you are still here. You said, he was stabbed by the blade of ashes, Jareth was also stabbed by the blade of ashes" Jess's eyes widen "he… was?" Aii nodded "there soul bond was severed, so was yours and Ricks. That's how Regina was able to live for so long after Jareth passed.
Jess sniffed "Is the baby okay?" Aii placed her hand on Jess's tummy "she is fine" Jess's eyes widen "She….?" Aii nodded "by the spell, you are 11 weeks pregnant, close to the end of your 3rd month" Jess frowned "but my tummy doesn't have a bump…" she said looking down and her eyes widen, there she see's her tummy have a small like bump to it "How didn't I see this before….?" Aii chuckled "your magic cloaked your pregnancy, most likely when your telekinesis went out of control the cloak was removed by that power…" Jess sat down shocked "This is…" Aii smiled "I know a shock aye? I remember the first time Regina found out she was pregnant, she was so shell shock he fainted and Jareth fainted too"
Jess closes her eyes "I have to go back…" Aii nodded "You do, like Regina I was linked to her, I'm not with you… I cannot leave this cavern…. I need to be linked with you" Jess blinked "Link…?" Aii nodded "like Frank, I was her other protector" Jess blinked "Well if you wanna be linked with me to get out of here you can" Aii smiled "Good finish eating and I will go find the linking spell" she got up and walked over to the bookcase. Jess sighed 'Regina… I keep meeting your past' 'it's destiny, tied in the string of fate' she heard Regina. Jess smiled and rubbed her tummy "a girl… Oh Rick… of only you were here…"
Ross and Paxton were out in their secret spot. They were refining and rebuilding it. Ross stopped. "Paxton…I don't think I have much longer in this body." Paxton stopped. "Yes, I can tell. Of course only I can. Did you tell Kaci about it?" Ross sigh "No…" Paxton turned to him. "You should tell him Ross." Ross bit his lip. "Oh yeah? How? Say oh guess what, my body is dying, and if I don't get another one that is compatible, I have to stay in he until I do!? He just lost Rick and Jess who is nowhere to be found. I think He's been dealt with enough bad news already."
Paxton sits down. "He deserves to know. If he sees you collapse and die in that body then what do you think will happen then?" Ross sighs out and goes sit with Paxton back to back. "I guess so…but if Jess comes back and everything goes back sort of normal I will consider telling him." Paxton rolls his eyes. "Your so damn difficult." Ross shrugs and chuckled. "Only when I need to be."
Jess finished eating sat down on the chair next to the fireplace, she yawned has Aii came back with the book "I found it" Jess smiled "lovely" she said yawning, Aii chuckled "You tired?" Jess nodded "So tell me why you aren't really link to me…?" Aii sat down "I was linked to Regina by body, before she died she had me come here and told me to wait for return even if took centuries and centuries. When she died I felt our link broke, Frank however is link to Regina from the soul so when you were born he was still linked, but I wasn't" Jess hums "That sounds right…" she yawned again, Aii chuckled "You tired? You wanna wait until tomorrow…? It's still raining" Jess closed nodded "Yeah I think I need my rest…" Aii smiled softly at her "Come on lets get you to bed" she said helping Jess up and up to the second floor.
Running through the deep forests, Oichi leaped far and landed with a slight jump. Joseph, finally settle into the feeling of riding was leaning on Dannis back. "He was close to drifting off when Oichi started to slow down and come to a stop. He looks up to see smoke coming from the east of them. Danni frowns. "A village is over there…I don't want to waste time but you want to go right?" Oichi nods her head and races to the smoke.
After running a few miles, Oichi came to a slow walk. Danni jumps down and pulls Joseph off. "Go hide in the bushes until I say its clear." Joseph nods and did what he was told. Oichi reverted back to her second form. She sniffs in the air. "Hunters…" Danni frowned as she ducks down. "Any villagers?" Oichi sniffs. "No? Maybe…there is a strange scent in the air…not human." "Doesn't matter then. Hunters must have ran the village out. Take them all out." Oichi nodded.
In the village, a group of maybe 10 men were laughing as a lone man pulled a crate. Oichi jumped into the trees and spotted it. Inside was a young boy with orange hair, shackled from to his neck, wrists, and ankles. His head was down and he looked very thin. She sniffs slightly. "How strange…"
One of the men laughs. "Quite a catch we have! All because of our lucky charm huh boys?" They cheered. Oichi looked around to the front of the men. Her eyes widen as she saw a cart of dead bodies covered with a blood soaked blanket. "Well let's carry the load back to base. We can use the catch for new weapons." Oichi grits her teeth. 'How disgusting…they aren't fit to live!' Her eyes shine blue. In the crate the young boys head looked up. He watched as Oichi jumped from the tree and lands down in the middle of the talking men. Their eyes widen but before they could even draw their weapons, Blue aura claws appeared from behind her and sliced them all down at once. Their bodies dropped all at the same time.
The man holding the crate shivered and tries to draw his sword until Danni appeared behind him and snapped his neck. "Ugh…human hunters…" Oichi walked to her. "They must have killed the villagers that were here…" She pointed to the cart of bodies. Danni sighs. "I'm going to scout the area to search for more survivors. You free the child, we bury the dead, and head to the kingdom. I'll send Jackal and the others back through here in case we missed someone." Oichi nodded. Danni walked off into the small village. Using her claws she broke the lock on the chains. Opening the crate she also broke the chains that bind him. She smiles and she picks him up. "Are you okay? Can you walk?" The boy nodded. "That's good. I'm sorry that you had to see that. Do you have a name?" The boy shook his head. "No? Do you have any family?" The boy looked to the cart.
Oichi frowned. "I see. Then why don't you come home with me?" The boy looked at her and was met with a soft smile. "You shouldn't be alone like this. I know you just lost your family but you will be must safer with us. You can have food and rest at the kingdom. So how about it?" She reached her hand out. "Would you like to come with me."
The boy looked at her hand then back up into her eyes. "Your…telling the truth…" Oichi nods. "I wouldn't lie about something like this." The boy smiles. "Interesting…you're the first being that hasn't told me a lie." Oichi gave him a confused look that was until she saw a tail and a pair of ears appear for his head. Her eyes widen. "Wait…are you a…" The boy smiles and the runs off disappearing.. "Wait! Don't go…" Oichi says. She sighs when it was to late.
Danni came back to her. "What happened to the kid?" "He ran off but I don't think he was a kid…" Danni pats her head. "Let's bury the bodies and be on our way first. You can tell me about it when we continue on our way."
Kaci was laying in his room at the Meyers manor, Ross left while he was sleeping. Hearing the door open he turned to see Marie step over to the bed and laid down next to him "you alright?" Kaci nodded "I'm worried about Jess…" Marie sighs with a sadden look "I may not fully know her but I see you care for her…." Kaci frowned "She's family… rick may be gone but Jess's caring apart of this family in her" he said then he started to tear "Just like father.. he dies on my birth day….."
Marie hums out at pats Kaci's head. "At home daddy says the only thing he learn from his daddy is that family is important. Big brother taught me how having a person you love beside you makes you stronger and Sissy Oichi taught me that I shouldn't give up so easily. She says Jess will come back." She touched Kaci chest where his heart was. "She says the heart is really strong and her heart tells her that Jess will come back to you guys. Then everyone will be okay again." Kaci sniffed and snuggled her "Thank you Marie, your so wise for an 8 year old" Marie giggles. "Brother says I'm too smart for my own good. Brother is a dummy head so I have to be smart so he wont do anything stupid." She says pouting.
As the evening approached, Oichi, Danni, and Joseph finally made it to the kingdom. Jackal, Hanna, Yain, and Terry were waiting for them. "My lady, you made it." Jackal says. Danni jumps from Oichi's back along with Joseph. "Lady Oichi, Prince Joseph, welcome home." Yain say bowing with the others. "You may stand." Oichi says getting her bag from Joseph. "How is grandfather?" Terry frowned. "Still out but the council is waiting for you now." Danni rolled her eyes. "Of course they are well they will have to wait til tomorrow. Show Joseph and Oichi to their rooms. Have them cleaned and feed and make sure they were something respectable for the meeting tomorrow." Yain nodded. "Lady Oichi?"
Oichi smiles. "To be honest I do miss you calling me that." Yain leads her off to his room. Terry wraps his arm around Joseph. "I'll show you to your new room. Let's go." He says pulling him along. "I will go inform the council." Hannah says leaving. Danni looked at Jackal. "Take me to my father."
In the castle, Ronnie was laying in his room with Faye beside him. His wounds had healed but he had yet to awake from his coma. Faye had dry tear marks under her eyes as she sat in a chair next to their bed and held his hand. "My love…please come back to me soon…" She says. The door opened and Danni opened. "Mother…" She walked over to the bed. "Mother. You need rest." "I will be fine. I will not leave his side." "I know but your health is more important. When he wakes up he isn't going to be happy that his wife hasn't eaten in days nor gotten and sleep. Me, Oichi, and Joseph are here, and we need you at the council tomorrow at full strength. So please for my sake go rest."
Faye sighs. "Fine…I'll leave him to you for now." Faye got up and hugs Danni tightly. Two soldiers walked in and escorted Faye out. Danni sat down in the chair. She takes Ronnie's hand and hold it tightly. "Papa…wake up soon. Please."
Zach was pacing in the back and forth in the backyard, he heard no news of Jess's whereabouts. Hearing a howl he turned to see Jin and Chida walk out of the forest "Jin! Chida! Anything?" Chida and Jin frowned "No…." Chida said with sigh, Jin shook his head "We tracked her scent a mile away but we lost it… it just disappeared…" Zach frowned "I see…." Chida sniffed "Father what are we gonna do about Rick's body…?" Zach closes his eyes "vampires don't decay when they die, I just have his body in the morgue right know… we will plane for his funeral tomorrow… let's hope Jess comes home before it happens" they nodded "get something to eat and back out in the forest looking for her" they nodded and headed inside, Zach looked up at the starry sky "Jess… where are you…." "Zach…?" he heard Dawn say his name, she walked over with Rosy in her arms. Zach looked at Dawn "still haven't found her, Dawn I will find her" Dawn closed her eyes tearing "I know you will…" he leaned forward and kissed her forehead.
As night approached. Oichi was sitting outside her room on the balcony. She was wearing a dark blue velvet lace pj set with a robe on. Tears were running down her cheeks as the events played out. Rick dying and Jess disappearing. They had left before they could even learn when Rick's funeral was. She bit her lip and places her face in her hand. She shook.
A hand was placed on her head. A familiar scent hit her nose. She looked up to see Dante. "Papa? What are you doing here?" Dante removed his hand. "I was invited. I heard about Jess and I can see that it is affecting you…" Oichi frowned. "Why were you invited here." "That self-made council wanted my opinion on something. Such as me taking over and the results of what would happen." Oichi stood up. "You will NOT be taking grandfathers place!"
Dante gave her a blank look. "Oh? Has my darling daughter finally grown a back spine?" "I've always had a spine. I just didn't want to waste words with you. You do what you want when you want!" Dante leans back and pulls out a cigarette and lit it. "I'm glad you are becoming a strong woman. You will do well once you become Queen. Do not worry, I am leaving tonight. I don't want this kingdom. In fact, I am working on your new kingdom." Oichi's eyes widen. "Say what!?" Dante blew out smoke. "When you become queen this kingdom will not meet your needs. They are suck in the ways of the past but they are peaceful. I will leave you two gifts and then this will be my last visit to you."
"What do you mean by that?" Oichi asked. Dante held out a box and opened it. Inside was a beautiful purple and blue stone. "What is that?" "This is a newly discovered metal from the island. I call it Litrune. It is reflective and resistant to corrosion and oxidation. Something that does not normally happen but not impossible. It is unaffected by air and water and has extremely high melting points. I tend to use this material to build your future kingdom. As well as this…" He held up a red beaded necklace. "These are the first thing I've made with this. I call them Entle beads."
Oichi walked up to him. "Entle? Meaning Beautiful in Xhosa…" She took it from it. "It is beautiful…" "This is an advance communication device. In the world of witches, demons, Angel's and so forth we werewolf fall behind in the magic department. So in order to not be left behind we must advance in a different way. A more scientific way as my father did…" He closes his eyes and then opens them. "Anyways. This is only in development but these beads will allow you to store important information, scan things and see the history and timeline, even has a broad knowledge on medical uses. It has ten beads in total and each bead can do various amount of things. Toy with it a bit and you will understand it more."
As Oichi looked at the beads she felt Dante place a hand on her on head. "I have but you through a lot of things but I only did them because I wanted you to be strong. Like you are now. I don't want you to depend on anyone when you can handle the problem yourself" Oichi frowned. "There is nothing wrong with depending on other people." "Yes until they betray you." "I have good friends, a wonderful family, and a person who is willing to love me even after all the shit I've been through. They will never betray me." Dante chuckled. "We will see. None the less. Get some rest. You will have a time with the council. You can keep the bracelet and I've placed a set for Sakamoto. Use them well." He jumps up and jumps down from the balcony.
Oichi walked up to the edge and looked down. She frowned when she didn't see him. She sighed. "I want to hate him…but I can't…" She goes back and sits on the chair. She looks up at the night sky. "Jess…wherever you are…I hope you are okay."
Has 8pm comes around, the rain has stopped and a fog rolled in. Two figures walk through the fog in the ruined garden. It was Darcaniea and Levis, Darcaniea was wearing Black Steel Boned Collared Steam Corset, Black leather pants, Punk Black Zip Gothic Platform Stiletto Ankle Bootie and a long Black Gothic Diesel punk Jacket With Witch Hood And Metal Spine Detail over her corset. Levis next to her was wearing nothing but black clothes. He was had a hooded cloak coat on and a face mask that covered half of his lower face showing only his fuchsia eyes. He had a black large messenger bag over his shoulder.
Looking around, Darcaniea chuckled "My, I can't believe we missed such a party" Levis sighed "I wouldn't wanna be here when she had this power…." Darcaniea stepped over and see's blood that still there and not fully washed away, Levis knelled down and sniffed "Rick's blood, you wanna take some?" Darcaniea closes her eyes "no, that's not why we are here" Levis sighs and stand up "you really think you will be able to find the rest of him? I mean it did rain… and are you sure they can't sense us?"
Darcaniea chuckled "nothing is impossible Levis and yes I'm sure, we are cloaked" she said taking out a Black Tourmaline Crystal macramé pendant necklace. Lifting it up, she took a soft breath and it started to route in a circle on its own "luath, a 'dustadh duslach gu duslach, Bidh mi ag èigheach luath an t-seamair, thig mi sa cheathramh àite!" she chanted has a swirl appeared has dust or ashes appeared swirling like a mini tornado. Darcaniea smirked "Levis the urn" Levis reached in his bag and pulled out a black urn, opening it. Darcaniea moved her hands gently has the ashes of clover moved in a swift way into the Urn. All in, Levis closed the Urn "what was the purpose of this again?" Darcaniea chuckled "in all good due time Levis" she said walking away, Levis sighs putting the urn back in his bag followed her out of the garden.
In Valeriea's Domain, Thalia was sitting at the River bank. She wasn't wearing her armor. Just a light pink dress, the same as her long hair. Looking down in the water she saw a picture of Takara being held by Sakamoto. She watched as Takara grabbed his hair and laughed. A small smile came to her face.
"Having second thoughts?" Thalia frowned as the vision disappeared. She turned to see Mephisto. "Leave me be demon." Mephisto chuckled. "No need to on guard. We are all allies here." "Wrong. I am here for more then your pathetic war. If it were not for this spell on me I would not be here. I would be with my family." Mephisto rolled his eyes. "You beings with family this and family that but at the end of the day it was your own family who tired to marry you of and in the process got you nearly killed. If it wasn't for Valeriea you'd be dead just like…" A sword was pointed at Mephisto throat. "My sword, blocks your healing factor demon. Speak another word and your head will be rolling." Mephisto chuckled and backed up. "My apologies Thalia…telling the truth can be so dangerous these days haha." He walked off. Thalia sighs and looks back into the water, were a picture of Takara was shown.
Zach sat in his office, filling out some papers. Chida stepping in "Father?" Zach lifted his head "yes Chida?" Chida frowned "what's gonna happen to.." "we are gonna have a private funeral for him. Take his body down in the catacombs and place his body in the glass tomb your grandmother was in" Chida frowned "But he's…" "not quite, the blade of ashes may have removed his soul form his body and time still on him doesn't mean's really dead, only the sister blade of the blade of ashes can revive him and I will find it" Chida's eyes widen "But… no one has seen the blade of the heavens when it was hidden by the great Oracle!" Zach closes his eyes "I know, know leave. At this moment in the park is a memorial site being made for Rick. The whole town knows of his death by know" Chida frown and nodded ahs he left the room. Zach closes his folder and gently took out a papyrus scroll. Carefully rolling it out, the writing still looked fresh but some spots on scroll were worm off.
The scroll read of the history of the daggers and to find them, but only the blades of ashes was shown, the location of the heavens blade was not there has that part was long gone. Zach frowned at it "Great Oracle Airera where did you put the blade…"
Danni was in her room waiting on her brother. Her older sister Frances and Heather would not be able to make it do to personal reasons. So all was left was her older brother Chaz and her younger sister Nia.
There was a knock on the door and it opened. In walked a handsome man with short black hair with red tips. Light brown eyes and tan skin. He was wearing a white t-shirt and black shorts and shoes. He had a duffle bag in his hand. "Hey there baby sis! Congrats on the new kid!" Danni smiles and stand up. "Thanks Chaz and thank you for coming back." Chaz put his bag down and frowned. "Yeah. I didn't do it for the council. I did it for mom and dad. I wont have them throwing their wait around and bring their hard work down. Danni nodded. Chaz then smiles. "So when do I get to meet this fiancée of yourself. Must be someone mighty special to have tamed you." Danni blushed. "You can meet him later. Let's just focus." Chaz chuckled and then sighs. "I heard about Samuel but it's good that you have his son. At least he left something behind yeah?" Danni nodded.
"Oh yes, I agree." They turned to see a woman walk in. She was slim with light brown skin and long purple curly hair with light purple eyes. She was caring a newborn in her arms, wrapped in a pink blanket. Danni frowned. "Nia?" Nia smiled. "Hello dear sister and brother. It has been awhile." Danni looked at the child in her hand. "Nia please tell me you didn't have another child." Nia giggles. "I did. You're an auntie! Congrats on your newborn as well!" Danni walked up to her. "Nia! You have six children you don't even take care of now! Why would you go out and have another!" Nia shrugs. "But look sis…shes so cute! She looks just like me." Danni frowned. "Unbelievable…you are completely unbelievable…"
She went back to sit on her bed. Nia frowned. "I can always leave. I don't even want to be here. Last time I checked father said if I didn't want the throne then I was free to do what I wanted." Chaz sighs. "He told all of us that but it doesn't give you the right to pop out babies left and right and leaving them with mom and dad…" "I didn't come here to be lectured. I'll go find Oichi at least she can cuddle over the baby more then you to!" "Nia…don't you dare leave that child with my daughter…" Nia rolled her eyes and left. Chaz rubbed his head. "We really need to do something about that girl…"
The next morning around 9pm, the Meyers family were down in the catacombs where all black, they call surrounded the glass tomb that was open. Zach placed Rick's body in gently, after he did he used the code panel and it closed with a air tight seal. Chida, Dustin and Kaci where cuddled up with each other crying softly, Aurora holding baby Rosy was cry softly. Haley was in her grandmother shoulder crying. Delica sniffed and tapped her eyes has she was crying also, Zach stood up "I got a hold of Daeva, she will be here by tomorrow with her kids" Deliora nodded "still no sign of Jess?" Zach shook his head "No…. the memorial in the park will be finished by noon" Deliora closes her eyes "Do Jetter know of Jess?" Zach bites his lip "No, Dawn doesn't want him to know so he wont know, it's from keeping him locking her up.. all he knows is that Jess is here cooping everything…."
Kaci sniffed "I hope she comes back soon…" Dustin nodded "same… I miss her smile…" Chida nodded sadly "I hope she is alright…." Aurora bounces Rosy slightly "when's he gets back I'm gonna give her an ultrasound and make sure her and the baby are okay"
Oichi was in her room, brushing her hair down. She was wearing a bamboo watercolor maxi dress. The bracelet Dante had given her was around her wrist. There was a knock on the door and it opened. "Lady Oichi, your brother is here." Oichi turned and saw Joseph walking in. He was wearing a plaid suit outfit. He was frowning. "Do I have to wear this?" Oichi got up and brushed his shoulders off. "No, but we have to look somewhat presentable. I'd rather wear this then the clothes they have here." Joseph sighs, making Oichi smiles. "You miss Dustin?" Joseph looked at her. "No…I mean yeah but not in the way your thinking." Oichi chuckled. "Right. It's okay, I miss Saki and mama surely miss Frank and Zane. It's okay to miss him." Joseph scratches his head with a slight blush.
"Oichi? Joseph?" They both turned to see Danni wearing a black pants suit. Chaz was beside her with a smile on his face. "Are you two ready? The quicker we get done here the quicker we can go home." They nodded at her. Walking out the room, they were lead by Jackal to the council room with Yain and Hannah behind them. Oichi stops when she sees Scar walking towards her. "Scar you are supposed to be with grandma and grandpa." Scar goes to her and rubs his noses on her hand. She smiles and rubs his head. "Okay then, you can come with me."
They soon came to a door that was being guarded by two guards. The guards opened them and they walked into a large room that had a single throne in the back and a table in front. There were 6 chairs on each side of the table where the council members were waiting. They looked at Oichi and frowned. "It seems you all…well most of you…have finally showed up. Take a seat so that we may start."
Noon hit, and the memorial of Rick was finally finished, with two day over time. The park, a trail of wooden flooring built in the ground, lead to a Memorial obelisk that was made of black stele, that was connected to the same black stele stone. Blue roses were planted around the memorial. On the Obelisk, wrote
'Rick Darken Meyers'
'January 5th 2002 – March 22nd, 2019'
Loving Son, Brother, Grandson, Nephew, Father, Lover and best friend.
'Rick died protecting the woman he loved, my his soul be watching over us.'
The Memorial was of course not open to the public until the sun was close to be down. Zach walked over to the memorial, it was quiet, no one around. Guards where patrolling the area. Zach with the first memorial glass candles in his hand, lit it was a magic fire crystal. Knelling down he placed the candles down front of the Obelisk. Closing his eyes he and breathed softly "Don't Worry son, we will find her" feeling a hand on his shoulder but it w as cold feel, he smiled knowing it was his son.
In the council room, Oichi was sitting at the head of the table, being that she would be next in line for the throne. On her left was Joseph and to her right was Danni and Chaz. There was an open seat next to Joseph incase another sibling or Faye came. The head council member cleared his throat. For hours now the council members had been going back and forth about starting a war, who should sit on the throne, bring Seth to justice and so on. It was irritating Oichi. Not only did the members greet them with such a rude manner none then had even asked about the condition Ronnie was in, like they expected him to die.
"The clan names that are under King Ronnie are getting rather antsy. They wish for war for what has happened." A council man says. "We should go to war." A council woman spoke out. "Those vampires attacked us first and they should pay." Oichi cleared her throat. "I'm afraid your wrong." They looked at her. "Grandfather's brother, the Tyrant Dorian, kidnapped and Killed Lord Seth wife and not only did he use her body to make a weapon to not only kill me but curse me as well. So no, vampires did not start this. We did."
The woman frowned and looked at Elijah. "Even so my lady. King Ronnie gave him a clear option to take Dorians head. He did not take it and let by gone be by gone. For years he and the vampires had been friends and what does he do? He waits all this time to finally get revenge on one of the royal family members? Do you think we should let that stand?"
"No, but king Seth was not behind what Cassandra did. She did that of her own free will. She is the one that wants to start a war not King Seth not my grandfather and while you all have been bickering about lesser motions none have you have even looked at the facts." Oichi says. "Facts!? The facts are that a war is happening because our King was to gentle to those blasted vampires! We should have never trusted them in the first place! They are nothing but disposable blood suckers!"
Oichi clench her hands on the chair. "Be careful what you say…" The woman looked at Oichi. "Why because your in love with one? Sorry My lady but that does not matter here. Vampires have always consider themselves superior creatures. We should have killed them all back then. If it wasn't for that woman twisting our Kings mind." Scar sat up as growled. Oichi rubs his head. "You all are a bunch of idiots." They frowned at her. "Excuse me? Just because you are next in line for the throne, it doesn't make you a true leader! Your exists wasn't even known up until a year ago! You have no right to an opinion here!" Oichi glares at them as they continue bickering.
Danni shook her head and crossed her arms. Chaz also said nothing. They both glanced at Oichi. They saw how irritated and insulted she was. Danni smirked.
Oichi stood up. Making the council member go silent. "I have no opinion here? In my own home? That is where you are wrong. You all are nothing but a bunch of greedy wolves waiting to chomp at the Throne. You sit here on your high houses and pretend to think you know how the world is out there." She places her hands on the table as her eyes turned blue. "You try to play politics on a world you can't even see. What gives any of you the right to sit here and judge the actions of anyone! Well because of your actions our kingdom that grandfather build, without your help by the way, is on the verge of losing its peacefulness because your so bloodthirsty for war. Our people is out there wondering what the condition of your king and you refuse to tell them! That is NOT how things work here."
"How would a child like you know how…" "You will silence your tongues while I am speaking!" Oichi yells out. Her aura was sent out slightly causing the members to gasp. "I am Princess Oichi Yamamoto, I am your next queen once my grandfather hands me the title. You will show me and my family respect or I will have your heads!" The council members stay silent. "I had to sit here for hours listening to arguing about nothing! No one has even came up with solutions about the main issues at hand. Tell me what is being done about the people who are living outside the castle walls? Are they still getting their food and water as promised?" There was no answer. "Okay…has anyone checked on the provisions? Made sure our people is well? Has anyone kept up to date with the condition of the King? So I guess while you all were bickering no one decided to do the basic needs of your jobs?" The council men hung their head low.
Oichi nodded. "So be it…then until my grandfather is back on his feet I will take command." Elijah eyes widen and stood up. "What!?" "You all will report to me. This so called council cant even do your damn jobs! Even the witch council does a better job then you and they are loath by everyone! When you all prove to me that you can actually do something else other then argue then maybe we can get somewhere. Tomorrow I want everyone back here so we can properly discuss how to AVOID a war and not start it." Elijah groans at her. "I will not be commanded by a curse brat who cant even…" Scar got up and jumped over the table right over on top of Elijah. His fangs were at his throat ready to rip it out. "That's enough." Oichi says.
Scar stop and keeps Elijah pin to the ground. "Does anyone else have something they wish to say?" The council members shook their head. "Then get up and do your jobs." They got up and bowed to her. "Yes my lady…" They quickly rushed out. Elijah was set free and he ended up running off as well.
Oichi sighs and sits back down. "I swear…bunch of weasels, leaving out people to starve and abandoning their main jobs. This could hurt our kingdom more then the stupid war they want." Danni smiled. "Look at my little Queen. Taking charge while the king is out." Oichi shook her head. "I'm just a stand in. Mama. For now until grandfather wakes up…If he wakes up." They frowned and looked down slightly.
In Aii's cavern, Jess was standing in the middle of the cavern on a small island that had a tree on it, looking up there was at he whole she fell through, she can tell the sun is going down. Sighing she looked at the water, it was so crystal clear. Aii had made Jess change from her clothes being ruined from her fall. She was a wearing a stunning black medieval like dress, the dress was a soft stretch cotton and finished with overlock stitched detail that swoops around the figure in an elegant spiral, creating a delicate flowing line of color and form. It is floor length with long train, scooped neckline, massive medieval sleeves that drop to spiraling points & a pixchieviously pointy hood. Around her necklace was Regina's Emerald stone necklace. she was bared footed, her finger nails and toe nails where painted black.
Aii approached her "My Lady?" Jess turned to her "mhmm?" Aii smiled "ready for the spell?" Jess nodded "to let you know, once we link the spell over this cavern will be removed. I will be able to leave once I leave my aura will be over powering, and I creatures from all around will be able to sense my presence. Luckily I have this" she said lifting up Vintage Czech blue oval glass jewel with Antiqued brass finish chain measures 18 inches long. "It will block my aura" Jess smiled "sounds good, I don't want everyone to know I'll be back just yet"
Jess stepped back and raised her hands has a magical circle appeared, a flow of magical energy ross up like mirage rainbow-ish color. Jess closed her eyes "Tha mi a 'gabhail do làmhan
Agus leis an draoidheachd seo
Cuiridh mi a-steach, do chumhachdan
Bidh mi gu bràth a 'ceangal
Bho seo a-mach gu deireadh an ama."
She chanted has a rune appeared on her left wrist, the same symbol appeared on Aii's right wrist. Jess moved her hands down and the circle disappeared. Jess lifts up her arm to look at the symbol, it was the symbol of binding from ancient times. Aii stepped over to her "you ready leave?" Jess looked up at her and nodded "yeah" Aii smirked "I guess that spell made your hair grow" Jess blinked and turned to the water and see's her hair had grow passed her nipples. "Really…? Come on… why does it always grow when this type of magic comes out?" Aii chuckled "Regina had the same problem"
Jess shook her head "well how are we gonna get out of here?" Aii smirked has Jess walked her body glow blue with some fox fire, her eyes widen to see Aii transform into a large White Kitsune, in Fox forum. She had thoughs nine tails out, Aii knelled down "hop on!" Jess smiled and got on Aii's back and blue fox fire appeared around her legs and lifted off the ground and towards the whole from above, reaching it they both came out of the cavern. Jess smiled "Where out!" Aii chuckled "yes my lady, where too?" Jess frowned softly "the Meyer's manor…." Aii her head has her fox body flew through the air from her fox fire.
In Ravenswood, students, parents, people of the town filling the park caring the glass memorials. The boys, Greg, Davey, Mikey, Ronny and Nick where in front of stone knelling down with their candles next to the stone. Tears and soft cry's echoed through the park from everyone.
Zach and his family were not far sitting on the grass watching everyone down by Rick's memorial, Dawn next to him with baby Rosy in her arms, Aurora and Haley holding each other with soft tears. Deliora sat there with a sadden look on her face. Chida was cuddling into Jin, Dustin and Kaci were cuddled slightly. All four boys still haven't stopped crying, once they stop they soon start back up at crying. Kaci sniffed 'Ross where are you…?' Marie was in Delica's lap has she fixed her hair. Zach lifted his head to see Seth and his family walk over to him, Zach sat up "Seth…"
Seth closes his eyes and opens them. "The Ruska family mourns the timing of Prince Rick's passing. You have our condolences." Sakamoto was behind him holding a sleeping Takara. Behind him his uncle Rune. His father was still out hunting for Cassandra. Lucien and Silver were supposedly with him. Zach closes his eyes then opened them "We both lost a child, thank you. I just hope Jess will be alright and comes home soon" Seth nods. "I'm sure she will come back. She needs her time to figure herself and her future out. Once she does she will return to you all."
At the Meyers manor, rick's window opened has Jess stepped inside. She frowned has she can still sense rick's aura. Tears came down on her face and she crawled on the bed laid down on it "Rick…. I miss you" Aii stepped through the window "maybe you should let them know you back" she says, Jess frowned "I don't wanna leave, leave me be Aii" Aii bowed and jumped out the window. She sniffed and caught Frank's scent she giggled and took off to find Frank.
Frank was in the park with Zane in Organic Black Thermal Long Sleeve Overall outfit, Frank himself was wearing a La Redoute Collections Printed Crew Neck T-Shirt, mens Black Panel Elastic Band Trouser and black shoes. Over his shirt he had a baby carrier that Zane was in fast asleep. He was through the park has everyone was gathering around together. He frown, he was worried about Jess. 'Jess where are you' then he stopped to see someone in front of him, her smile made his eyes widen "Aii…?" she giggled and stepped over to him "Franky, I see what Lady Jess says is true, you have baby and a woman know" Frank eyes looked around "Where is she?" Aii chuckled "At the Meyers manor in Ricks room, she found me during the thunder storm" Frank looked at Aii more and see's the link mark on her right wrist "you two linked again" Aii nodded "yup"
Frank closed his eyes and then opened them up "I need to Zach she's back, I know she want to be left alone but needs Aurora to look over her" Aii sighs "yes I know, she's caring a baby in her. I checked her and the baby girl is fine" Frank's eyes widen "G-girl…?" Aii chuckled "Yup" then her eyes shined "She's summoning me" she said has a group people went in in between them, Frank blinked and she was gone. Sighing he went to go look for Zach.
Oichi and Joseph were walking through the castle gardens arm in arm. Yain and Hannah were walking behind them. "So how does the ranking work? I thought the oldest was to get the throne." "My Grandpa has it differently here. He wasn't born into a royal family but with the help of a good friend of his he was able to build a place were wolves can come and live in peace. With this he became one of the 1st wolf kings. Grandpa decided when he took that title that he would not force anyone into such a position. My aunts and uncle where asked if they wanted the title they said no so it passes down to their children."
A family of birds flew by them making them stop to enjoy the flowers and smells. "No one wanted the throne but me. I will gladly take it." Joseph looked at her. "Why?" Oichi smiles. "I want to help people anyway I can and if me becoming a queen can help them in anyway I will do it. I want to create a new kingdom where everyone can live freely without have to be judge. A peaceful place you know." Joseph smiles. "May I come live with you in your new kingdom?" Oichi chuckles. "Of course big brother."
The door opened in Rick's room, Zach and Aurora walked in to see Jess laying there awake. She had dried tears on her face. Aurora frowned and stepped to her sitting down next to her "Jess" Jess sighs heavily "I know…" she said getting up, Aurora smiled and stood up taking her hand "Come on lets get you and the baby checked out" Jess smiles softly. Zach stepped over to her and pulled her a gently hug "I'm glad you are back, your mother was worried sick about you. Everyone, the boys, Dustin, Chida and Kaci. Oichi is too but she had to go to her kingdom for some business"
Jess nodded with a sigh "I know…" "Come on hun" Aurora gently pulled her out of the room, out of the room she almost tackled with a hug by Kaci. She gasped "Kaci!" He was crying "Jess! Why did you leave?!" Jess smiles softly patted his back "I need to be alone… but I'm fine know Kaci" Kaci sniffed, Aurora moved him away "Shu! I need to give Jess a check up" Kaci pouted but nodded has Aurora walked Jess to her personal office in the manor.
Frank know home, had placed Zane in his bassinet. He was fast asleep after eating 2 two bottle of Danni's breast milk. Frank chuckled "You gluten" he said with a smile then quietly stepped out of the room. Walking to the Livingroom, he took out his I phone and pushed facetime with Danni.
"Hello my dear! Where is my cute dumpling at?" Danni says smiling. Frank chuckled "Shhh, my love he's sleeping after eating 2 bottles" Frank smiled at her "Jess returned" Danni sighs out. "Oh that's so wonderful. I can now tell Oichi…ah… " She frowned. "We were suppose to be back tomorrow but it seems as our little Oichi is now a Queen. Well she's temporary taking over the kingdom until father wakes up." Frank raised his eyebrow "Really know?"
"I don't know how long we will be here but I'll probably come snatch Sakamoto away if it gets to be to much. Sadly im not into this sort of political stuff like he is but it might stir up a lot of trouble." She groans. Frank nodded 'I wish I was with my love, me and little baby Zane"
"Sometimes I wish I wasn't royalty. I'd rather be home with you and my cute dumpling." She says laughing. "I know love, ask your mother about Aii" he said has the Zane woke up and started to cry "Oh there he goes, waking up. I gotta go hun, love you" he kissed the screen hanging up.
Danni sits her tablet down and pouted. "Who's Aii…he better not be flirting with other women…" She pouted more. "Mmmmfff…" She got up and walked to the door and heads to Ronnie's chamber.
Behind her Jackal appears. "My lady?" "Hey Jackal do you know a Aii?" "Only in your father's journal. Why?" "Don't know really. Frank told me to ask mother bout the name. I don't think she would but it wouldn't hurt to ask."
They made it to Ronnie's room. The door opened and a doctor came out. He bows to them before taking his leave. Danni walks in to see Faye on the bed rubbing Ronnie's arm. "Mother?" Faye turned to her. "Hi dear… I heard Oichi is taking charge. I'm sorry for putting such stress on you." Danni smiles. "Its okay mother. Oichi is doing what she believe is best. We also got word that Jess had return." Faye nodded. "That's wonderful." Danni walks up to her. "Mother? Do you know someone name Aii?"
Faye looks at her. "I do but not all that well. Your father talked about her every now and then but never in any great detail, only by name. He doesn't talk much about his time before he met me. It's a little sad that me as his wife doesn't know much about his past life…" She tears up. Danni placed a hand on Fayes. "It's not. Dad doesn't share like most people. I'll be back later and watch over him so you can rest okay? I need to go find Oichi and tell her about Jess." Faye nods.
In Aurora ultrasound room, the walls were a tan color, and carpet a light brown. There was two brother leather couches and white examine bed that was next to an ultrasound machine. Jess on the bed, and the boys sitting on the couches. Marie sitting on Kaci's lap, Dustin next to them. Jin next to them with Chida on his lap. Delica next to them. Zach, Dawn and Deliora on the other couch watching.
Jess's nothing have the dress on, just had on a very soft blue comfy hospital gown for pregnant woman. It was tied the to side so her boobs where showing, just her bare tummy and of course her panties. She flushed "I feel weird showing them my panties…" Aurora chuckled "Please the boys don care, they all have boyfriends" Chida chuckled "please like I haven't seen Jess naked before" Kaci gasped "What?!
Jess bites her lip "Chida shut up!" Jin started to laugh "It was an accident of course, Chida walked in on Jess naked in Ricks room once didn't he be the shit out of you?" Chida chuckled "Yeah he did…" then they all frowned.
Aurora shook her head and took eh lube bottle and squeezed it on her tummy, she blinked "It's warm" Dawn chuckled "Sometimes they do warm it" Aurora nodded has she took the wand and moved it around her tummy looking at the screen. Jess looked up at it. The boys moved their heads to look even Marie was trying to look.
Aurora moved it around and she smiled "There, you are about 11 weeks" Jess smiled softly "A girl?" Aurora chuckled "Yup I can tell by looking it and plus your scent" Jess flushed. Dawn smiled brightly "a granddaughter!" Zach chuckled "I'm gonna spoil her!"
the boys smiled brightly "little niece!" Chida chuckled "Awww!" Jin snuggled Chida, Dustin chuckled "I can't wait until she gets here!" Kaci giggled "We are gonna spoil her so much!" then he frowned mentally slightly looking at his tummy the sudden feeling came over him, he wanted a baby too, he sighs mentally 'I hope one day he will let me be off this spell…' Deliora chuckled "Pictures Aurora"
Aurora smiled "alright just hold on." Dawn got up and stepped over with here phone and took a perfect clean snap shot of Jess the way she was, Aurora with wand in her hand reaching for the print button, and on the screen the baby. Dawn giggled and sent it to Danni 'It's a GIRL!'
Danni was out in the garden with Oichi and Joseph sharing the news of Jess return. Oichi wipes a tear from her eye. "I'm glad she's back. I wish I could be there for her." Danni smiled. "Me to sweetie but she got a lot of hands to protect her and a lot of support." Oichi nodded. Danni's phone vibrate. She looked at and saw the picture Dawn sent. "Looks like Jess is having a girl." Oichi smiled. "How wonderful. A little niece." She then rubbed her stomach. "You think her and my child would have been friends?" Danni smiles softly. "Of course hunny and don't worry as soon as we fix you up, you and Sakamoto can have a bunch of babies as well." Joseph frowned. "You have a kid? I thought Takara wasn't yours."
Oichi frowned. "I lost my son in November…" "Oh. I'm sorry I didn't mean…" Oichi smiled. "Its quite alright. Anyways I'm very happy for Jess. I hope I can get back home soon." Danni sent a Dawn a Congratulations texts back. "I'm sure Dawn is happy to be a grandmother. I can't tell you how much that child is going to be spoiled by everyone haha."
A few days later on the 31th of March, Sakamoto was over next door to Ross's. They were going to be visiting Oichi for a bit and bring Joseph home. The royal side was becoming a bit to much for him. Sakamoto had a excited Takara in his arm. Ross was sitting on the couch. They were waiting for Paxton to show up from his date. Marie, against Ross's wishes, was over at Terry's who was watching the house for Faye. Marie had a sleep over with Kim and Ari but Ross just knew Ty would be included. He pouted thinking about it.
Sakamoto put Takara on the floor and she ended up walking slowly to Ross, she grabbed his pants leg and smiles. "Up!" Ross chuckled. "You've become quite attached to me huh." He picks her up, making her giggle. Sakamoto looks at his watch. "When is Paxton going to get here?" "Look I can't rush the man. He said he be here as soon as he could after his date. Don't worry, Oichi isn't going anywhere from what I hear. It's taken all the power she can get just to keep a war from starting." "Yeah…maybe I can help her out our something…" Sakamoto says rubbing his head.
Jess was at the local market with Kaci, he was helping her shopping. Jess was wearing a cute Black Rainbow Trim Drawstring Cami Romper with black flips. The cart was half full already, against her mother's wishes Jess went back to the apartment she and Rick shared.
By the bakery, Jess was looking at the treats behind the counter, she licked her lips feeling hungry. Rubbing her baby bump "a cup of the cookie monster ice cream please, medium" the woman nodded to her. Kaci walked over with tons of meat from the list "Here youi go Jess!" he said dropping them in the cart. Jess smiled "Thank you! Oh Kaci there in the pickle barrel bin can you get 5?" Kaci blinked "but you just ordered some ice cream….." Jess pouted "Please?" Kaci rubbed the back of his head "Sure" he turned to the pickle barrel.
Jess giggled ahs the lady handed her ice cream and Jess gave her the 2.50 for it "Thank you, is he the father?" Jess blinked "Huh?" she chuckled "is he the father of your unborn baby?" the lady pointed to Jess baby bump, Kaci came back with two bags of the large pickles "Here hun" Jess laughed making him and the lady blink "Oh no his cousin was.." Jess grabbed the cart and putting her ice cream on the child sit and moved away. Kaci frowned at the woman "thanks for bring that her lover died" he said following after her, the woman eyes widen 'what… does he mean prince rick…?'
Terry was in the kitchen cooking for the kids. They were in living room, in a padded fort he made for them last night. He was making them four separate cute bento box lunches. It had two large rice balls. One for the fox's head and the second for the body. He used crackers for the feet and ears. Two large juicy meatballs, raw meat, and a bowl of sweets on the side. He also made extra small rice balls decorated with cute animals. The middle was filled with a surprise.
He placed the food on a tray and took it out to the living room. The kids were in the fort playing. "Hey you guys, it's time to eat. Come on out the fort." The girls came out smiling. "Food!" They yelled. Terry chuckled handed them the food. They sat down and started eating. Ty came out yawning. Terry ruffled his hair and handed him his meal. "Thanks brother." He says before going to sit next to Marie. Terry sits on the couch and turns on cartoons for them.
While the kids were distracted he pulled out a book and started to read. It was one of Ronnie's journals. He had hope to find a way to help him but this particular journal was about his life after he met Faye so not much info in it. He did however enjoyed learning about his life a bit more. When they royal family was called he was asked to stay and keep the wolves who remained here calm and collective so that they wouldn't do something stupid. Terry shakes his head. 'War this and War that…I hope Oichi can bring some end to this.'
Jess strolling her cart into an lane ahs Kaci was off in another getting something for her that they missed, Jess stopped to see the ceaser pasta. She smiled and with holding her ice cream in left hand she reached for it for her right, she frowned and couldn't reach it then a hand came up and grabbed it. She blinked to see it was Damien. HE smiled at her "hey" Jess smiled back "hey… thank you saving me…" Damien chuckled and took the box and put it in her cart "it was nothing, how are you feeling?"
Jess took a spoon full of her ice cream "fine I guess… it's just different… without him…" Damien frowned slightly and patted her head "it will get better, you have a baby growing you, something you and Rick made together and I will be here for you to help raise her" Jess blinked "Damien you hitting on me already…?" Damien frowned "Well no.. I mean.. damn it Jess… Yes okay?" Jess frowned "I'm not ready please…." Kaci appeared with peanut butter jar and he was glaring at Damien "beat it" Jess sighs "Stop it come on…" Damien shook his head "what you gonna try and steal her too Kaci? Maybe I should let Ross know your after her" Kaci's eyes widen red "I'm here for her because I care for her, she's caring a member of my family in her and ross knows. He knows I'm gonna be here for her" Damien chuckled "really? Since no one let you have a baby of your own your gonna try and take Jess's?" Jess bites her lip and slaps him making Damien's eyes widen "shut the hell up, stay away from me" Jess said taking the cart pulling it away from with Kaci frowning behind her, a soft tear came down his cheek.
Paxton was flying through the skies back into town. He was heading back so that he and the others could go see Oichi. Ross had called twice during the date with Sonya saying how antsy Sakamoto was getting. Paxton sighs. "The things I do for that guy…hes lucky Sonya had to cut the date short anyways." He was heading to the apartment when he saw Eric and Jack posted on a building. He flew down to them, landing behind them. "What are you two doing?" Eric frowned. "Minding our business." Jack shook his head and pointed down to where Seth was sitting on a bench. He had a small book in his hand reading. "Are you really spying on Seth?"
Eric frowned. "No…we are watching the idiots that are trying to surrounded him." Paxton looked around and started to spot different wolves, spying on Seth. "Are they crazy!? Going after Seth isn't a good idea." Paxton says. Jack nodded. "Yeah, Terry wanted us to watch out for something like this. Until Oichi handle the problem we have to make sure the clan doesn't take action on Seth or any vampire at that matter." Paxton spreads his wings and flies into the air. "We are visiting Oichi today, I'll let her know what's going on." Eric nodded. "Thanks." Paxton quickly headed off home.
Eric sighs. "Why is he just sitting there anyways . He knows there is a target on his back." Suddenly a black car pulled up. They watched a beautiful woman with long black hair and red eyes. She wearing a cloak on head and a full black dress that clung tightly to her body. Seth got up. She held her hand out to him and he kisses the back of it. They talked for a few seconds before they walked off down the street. Eric and Jack looked at each other before deciding to follow them.
After the market, they where back at the apartment, Kaci was helping putting the food away, he made her sit down and relax on the couch. She sighed and started to much on her pickles. A knock on the door made her blink, she got up and walked over to the door, she opened it to see Damien, he had dried tears "Damien…?" Damien had his head down "I'm… sorry.." Jess's heart dropped and took his head guiding him in closing the door "not to me, to Kaci. Kaci come here!" Kaci walked over and he frowned at Damien "get out!"
Jess narrowed at him "Stop he has something to say to you" Damien sniffed "I'm sorry.. I was out of line… I shouldn't have said that…to you.." Kaci just looked at him, he closed his eyes "fine.. I forgive you know…. Your lucky Ross wasn't here to hear you say that to me. I won't tell him for know" he said walking back to the kitchen. Jess smiled and pulled him over to the couch, she say down and started to eat her pickles again. Damien chuckled at her and grabbed the remote and turned on the TV.
At Ross's, Paxton had made it back. He looked around. "Jess isn't coming? I thought shed want to see Oichi." Ross shrugs. "She'll be fine. Kaci is with her." Paxton frowned. "Did you even tell her that we've been given permission to visit her?" Ross yawns. "Details, details the chick is pregnant. She needs rest, not hoping through portals. Now come on. Saki get out here so we can go!"
Sakamoto came out with Takara. She yawned. "Let's get a move on already." Ross says. "Well someone is grouchy." Sakamoto says going through the portal. Paxton went in after him. Ross was about to step through when he started coughing heavily. He looked at his hand and frowned to see blood. He frowned and sighs out. He took out a hanky and cleaned his hand off. "Damn this sucks… I really liked this body." He steps into the portal.
Coming out, the boys were standing in the hall where all the leaders were hanging in pictures. "Ross what did you do?" Paxton says. "Look this place bounces my demotic powers off every now and then. I can't control were we end up in." Sakamoto rolled his eyes. "Hey, so this is were you guys were." They looked back to see Joseph walking to them with Hannah behind him. "Danni said you were coming."
"Hey, how is the royal life?" Ross asked. "I hate it and I'm ready to go home." Paxton chuckled. "You can come back with us." Hannah walked up. "Lady Oichi is in the throne room. I will lead you there." They followed her through the hall and down the corridor and to the throne room doors.
Jackal, Danni, and Chaz were standing in front of it. Danni smiled when she saw them. "Hey boys! Come for a visit?" Sakamoto nodded. "Is she doing okay?" Danni chuckled. "Its like she has a knack for this. We were waiting for the reports to finish so we can enter." The door opened and Yain walked up. "Lady Danni, the reporting are coming to a close. You may enter." Danni nodded. "Come along now." Danni says motioning them inside.
Once inside they saw a group of men and women lined up in the middle of the floor. Up on the throne was Oichi. Yain was standing beside her and Scar was laying at her feet. She was wearing a majestic royal blue gown with abstract floral print. Her hair had gotten long down past her chest. It was black with purple tips. She had a topaz gem necklace and bracelet. She looked very beautiful sitting there with a mystic vibe to her. Sakamoto couldn't help but blushed as his heart throbbed. Not to mention she was wearing his birthstone.
Elijah walked up with a paper in his hand. "My Lady, we have gathered the necessary equipment for helping the farmlands in the outskirts of the city. As we speak some of our men are getting ready to head out now. If we are able to get go crops going we can reset our balance in trading with other clans in the area. That should provide us with enough food for the kingdom and others." Oichi nodded. "Thank you very good job Elijah. I appreciate your hard work. Once the provisions are stocked once again we need to work on our border control." Elijah bows. "Of course my lady." Oichi looked up and saw Danni and the others. "Is there anything else?" The men and woman shook their heads. "Then this report session is dismissed. We will meet again within the week. Please make sure you attend the afternoon meeting to finish discussing matters of the warfront. I hope you all come prepared to convince me why we should even think why we should go to war...and I want facts. Actual assessments on the aftermath that you are trying to cause. That will be all."
The councilmembers nodded and turned around to see Sakamoto. Their eyes turned yellow and they growled at him and Takara. "Vampire! Grandson of Seth! How dare you show your face here! Guards arrest them!" The guards did not come. Oichi stood up with Scar beside her. "Just what do you think your doing?" They looked at Oichi whose eyes turned blue. "Do not get carried away Elijah. You have no authority here. No one will lay a hand on my Prince do I make myself clear." She says narrowing her eyes dangerously. Scar let's out a deep growl. "O-Our apologizes my lady…" The councilmembers quickly left the room.
Oichi sighs and goes to Sakamoto. "Hey you guys. Why does it seem like it's been forever since I saw you." Ross chuckled. "Probably been so damn busy. Hot damn you look good all dressed up." Sakamoto frowned at him. "Watch it." "Just telling it like it is." Oichi gigged. "Thank you. I made it myself. Don't like the clothes here." "Mama!" Oichi smiled as she took Takara. "Hello bumblebee. You missed me?" Takara giggled and snuggles into her arms. "I take that as a yes." Sakamoto walked to her and hugged her. "I missed you to." They shared a kiss
Leading them out the throne room, Oichi brought them to her room. "Let me get changed right quick. The meeting is in the late afternoon so we have time to talk for a bit. She went to the bathroom with a change of clothes.
Sakamoto sat on the bed with Takara. Ross and Paxton made themselves comfortable on the couch. Danni, Chaz, and Joseph had things to do so they left. "Hey remember the last time we were all in here?" Ross asked. "Yeah, the kingdom was under attack and Oichi was out cold for a week." Sakamoto says letting Takara jump on the bed babbling, while holding his hands. "Are you happy to see Oichi?" "Yay!" she yelled out. Sakamoto chuckled.
Oichi opened the door and walked out in a green and white sweater dress and black flats. Her hair was in a low ponytail. Takara screamed for her. "Ma!mama!ma!" Oichi smiles and goes to her. "Aw your so cute!" She starts tickling Takara making her laugh. She then sits on the bed. Sakamoto joins her and lands his head on her lap.
The next day, Jess was on Aii's back, she was in her large fox forum. Jess in a cute color wine Angelyn Burnout Velvet Dress and Demonia Black Velvet studded Flats. They were on their way to Oichi's kingdom. Jess was excited to see Oichi, she really needed to see her. Kaci wanted to come with but Zach wouldn't let it happen after what's happen between Oichi's clan and Seth's coven, it wouldn't have bene wise.
the sky was beautiful, Aii flying in the sky with her blue fox fire was just amazing. "Mistress, we are over the castle" Aii smiled "alright land in the gardens" Aii nodded she dove down gently. It didn't take long When Aii dropped down in the gardens through the barrier. But it was nothing to Aii, she looked back at Jess "You alright the barrier didn't effect you?" Jess shook her head and got down "No, I'm always welcome here" Aii turned into her human forum and stood beside Jess in her uniform.
They walked though the gardens and headed to the doors where they were guarded by two men and a wolf. Jess frowns as they walked up to the stairs. She was about to give her name, when the guards bowed and turned to open the door. The wolf also moved to the side. "Welcome back Lady Jess. Someone will be waiting inside to talk you to Lady Oichi." Jess smiled "Why thank you" Aii next to her stood there being quiet.
Stepping inside they walked down to the hall. To see Jackal waiting. He was standing in front of Ronnie's picture. "Welcome back to our lovely kingdom. Lady Oichi is currently in a meeting but I will escort you to the balcony set where everyone is waiting. Please follow me." Jess chuckled "thank you jackal" Jess and Aii followed him.
Reaching the doors to the throne room, Jackal opened a side door and led them up a flight of stairs. He opened another door where they could hear people talking. Walking out they saw Sakamoto holding a sleeping Takara. Danni was leaning back on the wall with Chaz. Ross and Paxton were actually listening to the discussion at hand. Sakamoto notice them and motion them over. They were all sitting on comfy seats. "Hey, guess you wanted to see her that bad huh." Sakamoto says Jess pouted "I missed her" Aii beside her chuckled.
Down below, Oichi was wearing a white dress with blue floral patterns and ruffles. Yain and Scar were with her. She was listening to the council members argue. Ross sighs. "They have been at this for a hour. I'm ready for our little Queen in training to put them in their place." Paxton nodded in agreement. Jess closes her eyes and sighs softly, Aii raised her eyebrow "mistress?" Sakamoto raised his eyebrow "Wait who is this?" Jess chuckled "This Aii my Kitsune" their eyes widen at her "K-kitsune..?" Jackal looked at Aii and his eyes widen slightly 'she's mention in My Lord's journal…' Aii put her hand on chest and bowed slightly "greetings I'm Aii, it's pleasure to meet you" then she looked at Ross "I didn't know a demon was gonna here" she frowned, Ross looked at her, Jess sighs "her parents were eaten by a Butein Demon, Aii Ross is friend, son of Lucifer" Aii blinked "Oh my apologize" she bowed her head slightly. Jess's stomach growled "Jackal… can you get me some… uhm Pickles… any uhm ice cream? Vanilla?" "Of course. I shall be back in a moment." He says leaving.
Oichi let them talk for a bit longer until Elijah spoke. "Lady Oichi. How can sit there and allow this to go on? We need to go to war with those vampires. Look what they have done to your cousin and look at what they have done to your grandfather! Are you not angry at them?" Oichi sighs. "As I have said before, yes I am angry about the events that happened however it has already been proven that Cassandra was working by herself. Without King Seth." "So we will just sit here and be over run by them!?"
"Overrun? Don't not be so foolish. Listen to yourself. You do realize that King Seth has made no such move to go to war! You people have doing nothing but spark things up, getting under people's skin. Making them think that vampires are the cause for this when they are not. Our kingdom has always been a peaceful place and it will remain that way. You have yet to give me one good reason why we should go to war." "Reasons!? Our King is in a damn coma you fool! What more reason is that." Scar growled and Yain grabbed his sword. "Careful how you speak to me Elijah…" Oichi says narrowing her eyes. Elijah bit his lip. Oichi crossed her legs.
"Tell me. If we go to war, how many men and woman will we lose? How will this effect our people? How many children will be parentless? How badly do you think this will affect our Kings name? Have anyone of you gave thought about the backlash that would come of this?"
They bit their lips. "Of course you didn't…none of you care about this kingdom only the throne. I have given you days to convince me why we should go to war and all you have given me is the same response over and over. So as temporary Queen I heard by order all cease on any and all war activity! So long as I am in command anyone who speaks of war will automatically be consider a threat to this kingdom and be thrown in prison. It will be a consider a act of treason. Do I make myself clear?"
The council members started to yell and bicker at her. Sakamoto sighs and looks down. "Why do people always want to go to war. If we all sat down and talked about what happened maybe we might get somewhere…" Ross snorted. "Yeah right, those assholes down there got their head stuck up their asses. They believe what they want to believe. I say she should kill em." Chaz chuckled and nudged Danni. "I like him." He says. Jess frowned "maybe I should go up there…." Aii gently put her arm over Jess's chest "My lady, back in ancient time's Ronni may let Regina but don't…. uhm it's wise…. Regina was different…" Jess frowned "But I'm her reincarnation… how I'm I different…? I mean they should at least hear witches point of few on pointless war….? There is a reason why she and Ronnie built the treaties so no blood would be spilled… I should be up there giving me option please let me…? I mean the war wont just effect the werewolves of this clan and Seth's Coven… it will also effect other clans and other covens… even Zach's kingdom… and the witches and even human…" Aii blinked at her "She does have a point… last time something this happen it caused the great Tri war…."
Sakamoto smiles. "It will be okay. Oichi is in command here. She needs to learn how to settle this on her own. If you go down there now even as Regina what would that say about Oichi's leader ship? You cant be here every time when this breaks out. She wants to be Queen someday. This is the perfect opportunity for her to grow." Jess sighs but nodded "Yeah…"
Oichi sighs and stood up, silencing them. "I will not allow you to make a mockery out of what my grandfather had spent his life to build. You will not throw the kingdom he love so much into your thirst for war. Instead of focusing on fighting against king Seth we need to be assisting him. The real threat is out there and if we fight against each other then that threat came come from behind and take us out from behind."
She sat back down. "I will hear no more of this. My decision has been made. The word will be spread through the kingdom lands and into Ravenswood. Any clan who still has a issue with King Seth is to remove themselves from town and come back here. If not then I will personally deal with them." She looked up to see Jess. "Now, I have guest that I wish to attend to. This will be the final talk we have about war. I will hear no more of it."
Elijah stomps his foot in anger. "This is unreasonable! So they can hurt our lord and get away scoot free! I will listen to you no more girl! You will never be on our side!" He pointed up to Sakamoto. "Your in love with one of the blood suckers! You were never with us from the beginning! We must go to war! It's what your grandfather would want!"
Oichi's eyes widen and turned dark blue in anger. A rush of her aura pulsed out pushing only Elijah back. She rose off her throne and walks to him. Each member she past the quickly got to their knees. Oichi stopped in front of Elijah, making him fall to the floor. "My grandfather does not want a war. My opinion would not be changed even if I wasn't in love with Sakamoto. You are a foolish man. Do you think war is the answer to everything? Do you think this will get you in that throne? Well it wont. War is a terrible outcome and not only would it effect us it will effect those around us. Do you not remember the war of the Supremes? Where both my grandfathers clashed and got millions of innocent people killed? I will never allow war to stand this land ever again do you understand." Elijah shivered under her look. "and if you ever insult Sakamoto or Takara again I will make to where you wont even have the ability to speak. Now get out of my sight." Elijah gulps. "Y-Yes my lady…" He quickly got up and rushed out. The other members left behind them.
Oichi sighs as she calms down. "I can never have a normal conversation with that man." She looked up on the balcony. She smiles and jumps up landing on the rails. Sakamoto grabbed her hand helping her down. "Jess! I'm so happy to see you! Sorry you had to witness that. I swear they act like war is the grand solution to everything." Oichi says shaking her head. Jess chuckled "Oichi I'm happy to see you too! I wanted to come up there and tell thoughs idiots that war is not the answer"
"Yeah, but I'm glad you held restraint. I don't need them making a enemy out of you to." Oichi says shaking her head. Jackal appeared back with Jess's food, jess giggled "Yay!" she took the pickles and started to eat it, Aii to her ice cream "want some of your ice cream?" Jess blinked and nodded she sat taking the spoon and eat some with her pickle. Oichi giggled and reached tummy Jess's tummy "3 months?" Jess nodded "a girl!" she said taking other bite of her pickle.
"Yes, we know. Auntie Dawn told us." Oichi says smiling. "Congratulations." Ross looked at Oichi. "What are you going to do about that prick Elijah?" Oichi sighs. "I'm not sure. It's like in one ear and out the other for him." She picks up a sleeping Takara and then sits on Sakamoto's lap making him blush a bit. "I will have to handle him some way later." Chaz walked up. "If you like I can take care of him." "Uncle?" "Elijah isn't a big threat as you think he is but he does hold a lot of influence money wise. I can definitely use my skills to keep him in check. My Queen." Oichi blushed slightly. "You don't have to call me Queen uncle…its still embarrassing to hear a powerful title." Chaz chuckled. "Thank you uncle. Please do as you wish." Chaz nodded and looked at Ross. "You look like your know your way around with…certain skills…wanna tag along?" Ross jumps up. "Damn straight!" "Language…" Oichi says. "Sorry." Ross says following after Chaz.
Oichi smiled. "Why don't we go to the sitting room so everyone can get comfy. I need to get out these clothes before my next meeting. Ugh…so many meetings." Jess giggled "Yeah!" she said munching on her pickle and ice cream. Aii smiled "ahh pregnancy"
"Jackal can you show them to the sitting room? I'll head to my room, change and meet you there. Just tell Jackal what you want to eat and he'll bring it to you." She got up with Takara in her arms. Sakamoto stood up. "Ichi…later on can I speak with you in the gardens?" Oichi nodded. "Of course Saki. Jackal if you please" "Everyone follow me please." Jess smiled and followed him with Aii behind her.
Jackal led them downstairs and down the hall into a large sitting room with peachy color walls and. Marble floors. There was a large red square couch and a small tables and end tables. There was also a bar next to it, a bathroom, and a small kitchen area. Jackal moved to the side to let them in. "Lady Oichi will be with you in a second. If you need anything please let me know." Jess smiled "Thank you Jackal" Jess sat down and Aii stood next to her. Jess sat down and Aii stood next to her. "Oh Jackal, is it possible to see Ronnie later…?" Jess asked with a sadden look.
"Unfortunately, that decision does not lie with me. You will have to ask Lady Oichi. His condition is still the same. He's been in a coma for the longest and as you could tell, most are ready for him to kick the bucket. It's sad really."
At Zach's, Daeva and her children finally arrived. Daeva was very beautiful and young looking, she has purple eyes, and a pale complexion. She wears her long lavender hair down with a single braid on her left side, tied with a black ribbon. Due to the purple, she used magic to dye her hair making her hair permanent lavender and her children were able get the purple hair.
Her three children, Amy her oldest, look like her when Daeva was a young vampire. Amy of 119, had the same lavender hair and purple eyes. She had on black shirt with a pastel ombre cross on it, cotton candy pastel short and black boots.
Cloud her 2nd born of 116, having the same colored light purple hair, though he has large matching eyes, with visible dark undertones beneath them, most likely due to lack of sleep. Cloud also has a rather short, thin figure with a noticeably younger look, thus causing him to stand out as more childlike in appearance. He was wearing a beige sweater with a black, polka-dotted dress shirt underneath and an un-clipped red bow tie. And some glasses on.
Cammy, the youngest age of 110, she had the same color purple hair and purple eyes. She wore a Black Lolita Dress High Waist Jacquard Pleated Lolita Skirt With Bow and had a tabby in her arms.
Zach hugging his sister "I'm so happy to have here, how was the plane ride?" Daeva sighed "boring, so where is Jess? Cloud wants to see her" Zach blinked "She's with Oichi in her kingdom visiting" Daeva nodded, she turned to her and started to use sign language 'She isn't here, you have wait until she comes back' Cloud frowned and sighed. Cloud was deaf, do it being his mother being hit by a curse when she was caring him caused him to be born deaf and uncurable.
Cammy had a poppy eyes "Can I see the baby?" Zach chuckled "Of course sweetie, she's with dawn in the nursery" Cammy smiled brightly and skipping off. Zach chuckled "Why don't you get settled into your rooms?" he said and signed for Cloud. Daeva nodded "Thank you brother" Amy smiled "Thanks uncle! Mom can I go into town?" Daeva chuckled "Of course hun" Amy chuckled and took he purse and left the house. Cloud sighed and took his bags and went to find his room.
Walking down the hall with Scar and Yain, Oichi was coming up to her room when she was stopped by Elijah. Scar growls at him but Oichi rubs his head. "Elijah. Is there something you need?" Elijah frowned. "First you bring those vampires here and now you think bringing that woman here will help your cause. Well listen well child. Just because she is here it won't change the outcome for a war. Times are changing, treaties are weaken, words from one witch alone will not change the matter."
Oichi sighs. "You are right. One person's word is not enough. Times have changed but the mind seats of those who wish for peace. If one person word does not work then I will have to get help. I'm sure my friend and sister Jess will happily help me prevent a war. Just as Regina helped my grandfather. We both have friends and family that would gladly go for peace then war. Now, I thought I make myself clear when I said we will no longer have words for war. Now please remove yourself before Scar loses his patience." Scar growls. Elijah grips his fist and storms away. 'If she wont take action then I will take action myself.'
Oichi walks into her room to quickly change. Walking into her room she stopped as she felt a presence. She looked around and spotted a orange and white fox mask. A chuckle nearly escapes her lips as she pretends not to notice.
Minutes later she came back out wearing a high waist open back geometric print Maxi dress. Her hair was down a bit longer now. She smiles. "Much better. Let's go."
In the sitting room, Danni was at the bar fixing her some juice. She couldn't drink since she was breastfeeding. Sakamoto was holding awake Takara. She slipped off his lap and started to crawl and walk around the room. Paxton looked at him. "You good Sakamoto?" Sakamoto's head pops up a bit. "Y-Yeah…just thinking." Paxton leans back in the chair. "Mmmh…about Oichi?" Danni chuckles making him blush. "Something like that."
The door opened and Oichi walked in. "Sorry for talking so long." Takara smiles. "Ma!" She takes steps to Oichi until she noticed Scar. She giggles going to him instead. "Ah, I've been overlooked by Scar." Scar walks over to Takara and nuzzles his noses into her belly making her giggle and fall back on her butt. She laughs as he tickles her with his nose. "So cute." Oichi says walking by them. Yain closed the door and stood guard of it.
Oichi sat on Sakamoto's lap and snuggled up to him. "I'm happy you guys are here. It's been so stressful trying to keep those idiots from starting a unwanted war." Jess nodded "idiots they are" Aii walked over from the bar with a large glass of milk. Oichi blinked "Wow that's a large glass a milk!" Jess chuckled and took it and started to chug it. Aii chuckled at her. Danni phone went off making her sigh and answered the video call "Danni my love! I swear our son is fricken Gluten! He already drank all of your breast milk! Help me…" Frank look in a panic, Zane was crying in his arms. Danni chuckled. "Aw my little dumpling. Has Daddy fed you all your milk. So cute. If you look at the bottom of the fridge there is a extra compartment full of emergency breast milk. I'll have Ross bring me home for today so no need to worry." She says smiling. "Thank you, Thank you babe!" Frank says with relief, Zane notices his mother and he stopped crying a smile came on his face, Frank blinked "He calmed down…" "The gift of a mother my dear. I'll see you when I get home. Bye bye my little man. Be good for daddy." She hangs up. "Oichi you don't mind me going home for a bit?" Oichi nodded. "Its fine mama. Zane is more important than all this craziness right now."
Jess fishing her milk, she wiped her face then she felt she had to pee "Bathroom?" Jackal nodded "the room right there he pointed to the white fancy door. Jess smiled and sat up and headed for the bathroom, walking she closed the door behind her, locking it. Aii looked at Oichi "your majesty, is it possible to see Ronnie when Jess comes out? I would like to see him.." she flushed 'big brother Ronnie…'
"Of course, Jackal can take you to his chambers but please make your visit short. My grandma can be very protective of him right now. So I can only allow a bit over an hour." Aii smiled "Thank you your majesty" she said with a bow, the bathroom door opened and Jess stepped out rubbing her tummy, Oichi giggled "Feel better?" Jess smiled and nodded "Yes!" then suddenly her eyes rolled back and collapsed, Aii gasped "Jess!" she rushed over to Jess.
Oichi frowned and got up, going to Jess. "Jackal send for the family doctor quickly." Jackal nodded and rushed out the door. Aii frowned "I hope it wasn't the barrier…" Danni was leaning on the counter. Trying to get in touch with Chaz to get a doctor over to the room.
Sakamoto got up and walked over knelling down "She does look a little pale…." Jess did, her skin looked very pale. Aii frowned at her skin color. "We need to get her to the couch."
Sakamoto reached out and touched her tummy but when he did that felt a very slight sting, it caused him to pull his back with a surprised gasp. Aii and Oichi looked at him "Prince Sakamoto…?" "Saki are you okay?"
Sakamoto frowned and looked at his hand, it was slightly red like a sunburn "what the…." Aii's eyes widen slightly "your hand is burned" "Obviously…" Sakamoto says. "The question is why my hand is burnt…" Oichi frowned looking at his hand. "You touched her stomach, the baby. Could something have happened?"
Jackal rushed back in the family doctor, he knelled next to Jess "She's with child?" they nodded to him, started to check her vitals. He noticed her blood pressure was low "Her blood pressure is low…" Aii's eyes widen "But how…?" Chaz and Ross walked back in, and they noticed everyone around Jess. They walked over, the doctor looked like he didn't know why what was wrong her "I don't know… There shouldn't be any reason why her blood pressure is low…. when the baby's is normal... it doesn't make any sense..." Ross glanced at her pale skin then her tummy, being him he could sense the baby's aura. He moved the doctor who gasped "Hey what do you think" Ross knelled down next to Jess and put his hand over her tummy has mix between red and green aura appeared like smoke over her tummy. Aii blinked "aura… the baby's?" Ross nodded "aren't all forgetting that the baby in her is half witch and half vampire. Jess needs to drink blood or the baby will suck the blood from her body…. Killing her" Aii's eyes widen slightly.
Oichi rubbed her chin. "Does it matter who's blood she drinks?" They looked at her. Sakamoto frowned. "Absolutely not. Your blood is to dangerous!" "I wasn't speaking of my blood. Oh…I guess you wouldn't know but, Grandpa Seth actually runs a decent blood bank here in the kingdom. Your uncle Rune is in charge of it." "What? Why would that be here?" Sakamoto says in a bit of shock. "It's for Grandpa Seth for when he comes to stay for long periods of time. So would that work or does it have to be specific?"
Ross thought for a moment "O Negative, that was Rick favorite" Ail nodded "can you check to see if he has 0 negative blood for her?"
Oichi stood up. "Mama may I use your phone?" Danni tossed it over to her. She walked over to the windows to make a call.
Jess's eyes crack open slightly "W-What's going on…?" she asked weakly "Why do I feel sick…?" Aii frowned "My lady… the baby.. you have to drink blood" Jess looked confused "Drink blood…?"
By the window Oichi was talking to one of Runes subjects. "Yes, do you have O Negative? Really? Thank you so much. No need, I will send someone to get it." She hunts up. "Ross will you go into the town? There should be a blue building with a needle on the front of the door. That's the blood bank. Can you go get the blood?" Ross stood up. "Yes your highness, your daring Knight shall fetch what you command." Oichi rolled her eyes. "No games Ross. Quickly bring the blood back." Ross chuckled and opened a portal. Stepping in it closed behind him.
Sakamoto looked at his hand again, it has not healed yet "Strange it hasn't heal yet…" Jess blinked "What happen to your hand? Sakamoto smiled at her "It was nothing, when I touched your tummy the baby burned my hand… I think she took some of my vampiric aura" Jess frowned "I'm sorry Saki…" Sakamoto shrugs. "Its whatever. Stop calling me that. Besides it's best to find things like this early so we can prevent it from happening."
"Let's try and get her up on the couch" Aii said helping Jess up but when Aii helped her up she never got burned "You didn't get burned?" Oichi asked, Aii blinked "I believe, I think it's because a Kitsune an di think she likes my aura" Sakamoto blinked "Maybe it's only vampire and witch aura she likes, well that explains it all" Jess frowned "That mean I can't hold Taka!" Jess started to tear as Aii helped her on the couch.
"Its not the end of the world because you can't hold her." Sakamoto says shaking his head. "Just look forward to holding your daughter when she finally pops out." Jess pouted "but still…." Ross quickly was back with a blood pack on 0-. He walked over to her and opening it for her "Here you go" Jess blinked at it and gently too it, just the smell of it made her lick her lips "Oh god this is gonna be weird…" Aii chuckled "Go on, drink up"
Jess took a sip, her eyes widen "Wow… it tastes really good.. like… cherry soda…" she said has she started to drink the rest of it. Aii smiled "That's it" Jess's skin color was going back to normal. "And hence crisis averted! I would like a reward for completing such a adventurous quest my lady." Oichi chuckled. "What I look like a RPG character."
Jess finished it "Mhmm that was so good!" Aii smiled at her "I'm glad you feel better know" Ross looked at her and nodded "you should drink some when you have your snack carvings…. Mhmm I'll text Kaci tell him to stock your fridge with 0- blood" he said taking out his, Jess smiled "Aww your so sweet, Thank you Ross"
"Yeah, yeah." He says going over to Takara, who had bend snuggling up on Scar. He picked her up and started tossing her in the air, making her laugh. Jackal walked over. "Once your finish if you still wish to visit King Ronnie you still can." Jess smiled "I'm finished so we can go know" Aii smiled "You feeling better?" Jess nodded an stood up "I feel so much better! So energized!"
Oichi chucked then sighs. "I have another meeting to attend so make yourself home. Sakamoto meet me in the gardens tonight okay? You said you wanted to talk right?" Sakamoto nodded. She kissed his cheek. "Then we can talk there." She gets up. Jackal open the door. "My ladies, please follow me." Jess giggling and almost skipped following him, Aii chuckled.
Jackal lead Jess and Aii to Ronnie's chambers. There were guards posted up on the walls and around his door. The guards stood aside when Jackal walked up to the door. He pushed them up. Inside they could hear sniffing. At the bed Faye was holding Ronnie's side crying to herself. Jackal walked up to her. "Lady Faye pardon the intrusion." Faye quickly cleaned her face with a hanky and tuned around to see Jess and Aii. "Guest for Ronnie…I see." She looked back at Ronnie. "As you can see he still hasn't woken up but I think he can hear everything that's happening."
Jess smiled softly and stepped over, sitting down "hello my favorite wolf" Jess reached out and gently touched his hand and put it on her tummy "Can you feel her? I hope you can" Faye smiled "Congrats dear" Aii sniffed and walked over "big brother Ronnie…" Faye looked at her "and you are…?" Aii smiled "Aii, when Regina found me and brought me back with her, Ronnie raised me… I was a young fox when I was being hunted by hunters" Aii frowned. "I see…" Faye says.
"May I?" she asked putting a hand on forehead when her blue fox fire appeared, but Faye can feel it was harmless. Aii closed her eyes. Jess chuckled "don't worry Lady Faye, she's entering his mind" Her expression didn't change. "That makes me worry dear…"
In Ronnie's mind, Aii appeared in a dark forest like area. She blinked and looked around "big brother Ronnie?" The forest was foggy and silent. As Aii walked she suddenly heard a twig snap. She stopped and looked around. In the dying trees she started to see wolves appearing. They approached her but not in a attacking way. More like they were guarding something or someone. Aii frowned "is Big brother Ronnie here?
She then glanced up to see a large shadow. Narrowing her eyes she quickly gasps, realizing what she was looking at was a very large wolf covered in darkness. Its eyes were white, and they looked down at her. She heard a low rumble. "Leave…" She heard it say. By its voice she could tell that this was Ronnie. Aii shook her head "So stubborn big brother, you need to wake up… your family needs you" "Leave…" Ronnie says.
"Oichi is trying her hardest to fill in for you to keeping those fool council members from starting a war with Seth coven…" Aii said to him. Ronnie's eyes narrowed. The wolves below started to stand and growled. "I will not tell you again…leave me…" Ronnie says. Aii bites her lip and her fox fire covers her body "you stubborn OLD MAN! Do have any idea what everyone is going threw?! Your wife has been hardly eating! Jess watched Rick die in her arms! Oichi is battling the council from starting war and all you want to do is sit here in your mind and not wake up!" Ronnie was silent as she felt herself being pushed out his mind.
Aii eyes opened and she was back in the room with Jess and Faye, Aii sighed. Jess frowned "let me guess, being stubborn?" Aii nodded "He's not ready to wake up…. I even told him about the council trying to start a war he still wont listen…." Jess frowns. Tears ran down Faye's cheeks but she dried her eyes. "If there is nothing else you need, do you mind if we were alone. He will wake…when he wants to I suppose…" Faye says with a sadden and depressed look on her face.
Jess frowned "I'm sorry Lady Faye… he's just a stubborn old Wolf" she said standing up and kisses his forehead "don't make us wait to long alright?" Jess stepped away and bowed to Faye and walked off, Aii bowed to her also "I'm sorry, I tired…" she said and followed Jess. Faye grabbed Ronnie's hand and held it tight. "I'm here dear. I'll wait forever if I have to. I'll never leave your side just like I promise." She says crying.
In the hallway, Jess yawned. Jackal blinked at her "would you like a room to rest Lady Jess?" Jess smiled at him tiredly "Oh yes please" Aii smiled but sighed "My lady… this forum is tiring me, can I change my forum?" Jess chuckled "Of course" they both watched to see her body glowed with blue fox fire then it sink down, Jess giggled at Aii's little fox form. She looked like a small white fox with two tails, that had light blue on the tips and also blue markings on her face and forehead. Jess leaned down picking her "So cute" Jackal walked ahead. "Follow me, there are many rooms here that would suit your liking. Lady Oichi will be attending meeting for the remainder of the day so I'm afraid you will not be able to see her much but I will let her know that you are resting here in the castle."
Jess nodded "Yes I understand" he said following him holding Aii. Reaching one room, he opened it. They stepped in and Jess's eyes widen. It was very luxury, white, gold with lavender colors. Jess chuckled "I love it!" she said walking in more "There is some clothes in the dresser for you, the bathroom in on the right corner wall" Jackal said to her. Jess smiled "thank you Jackal" "I'll have a special cooler for you in the kitchen with 0- for you in case you have the cravings again" he said with a small boy "enjoy you nap lady Jess, he said walking out closing the door behind. Jess smiled sat on the bed and laid back, Aii crawled on her tummy and did a cute fox noise. Jess giggled "So cute!"
As night came, Oichi and Sakamoto were walking together in the garden. She had her arm hook with his. The garden was beautiful at night with fireflies hovering around. The night sky was clear and the starts were shining brightly. Oichi smiled. "I have to say this is my favorite part about night other than sleeping." "Yeah…" Sakamoto says. They walked over to a large tree with blue trees. "Saki? Are you okay?" Oichi asked. Sakamoto looked at her. "Huh?" Oichi rubbed her arm. "Well you have been here for about two days and you've been acting distant from me. I know I'm focusing a lot on work and all but I am trying to put effort into spending time with you to."
Sakamoto grabbed her hand. "No, everything is okay. I was just thinking about something." Oichi grabbed his hand back. "Would you like to share? Maybe I can help you?" Sakamoto sighs and grips her hand tightly. "Well. Everyday I just realize how much I love you. Two years together and my feelings for you have not changed and I don't believe they never will." Oichi smiles. "I feel the same Saki. You have stood by my side throughout everything and you always kept your promises." Sakamoto frowned. "Not all of them." Oichi giggled. "Am I here, safe and sound?" Sakamoto nodded. "Then you kept your promise." She kisses his cheek.
Sakamoto smiles sweetly at this. "Ichi…can you close your eyes for me?" "Hmm?" Sakamoto chuckled. "Just for a second please?" Oichi nodded. "Okay." She closed her eyes. He pulled his hand away. Oichi waited as she heard a small pop. "Saki?"
"Okay, open your eyes." Oichi opened her eyes. She frowned not seeing him until she looked down. Her eyes widen. Sakamoto was kneeling in front of her. In his hand he had a box and in it was a beautiful lotus flower ruby ring. Oichi placed a hand over her mouth and tears swelled up in the corner of her eyes. "I wanted to do this in a place where we can be alone and share this moment and you pick a beautiful place for me to do this. I love you Oichi with all my heart and soul. Would you do me the honor of becoming me wife in the near future?" Oichi's heart was beating fast. Tears ran down her cheeks. She held out her hand and nodded. "Yes. Yes I would love to Saki!"
Sakamoto chuckled as he placed the ring on her finger. Oichi smiled brightly through her tears. "Its so beautiful!" Sakamoto stood up only to be tackled on to the ground. His lips were met with a kiss from Oichi. She pulled back. "I love you." He smiled back. "I love you to." He flipped her over and slammed a fiery kiss on her."
Further away, Ross and Paxton were spying on the couple. Ross chuckled. "Looks like our little princess is getting married." Paxton nodded and saw clothing being removed. "Well I think we saw enough. We should get back." Ross pouted. "No way! I wanna see this!" Paxton rolled his eyes and grabbed Ross and pulled him away.
Back in the castle. Faye was walking back to hers and Ronnie's room. She had promise Danni and the others that she would at least leave the room every once and awhile. She had dried tear Mark's running down her cheeks. She had never felt this unless before but she sworn on the day of hers and Ronnie's wedding that she would never leave him no matter what. She has always held true to that. Suddenly she came to a stop. She frowned as she turned around. Someone was standing in the shadow. "It would not be wise for you to do this young one." Faye says. She sighs as the person in front of her charged at her.
Jess was woke with a soft yawn. It was dark in her room, Aii was softly sleeping near her curled up. Jess smiled at her then her tummy started to rubble. She blinked and chuckled "hungry… I see" Jess says softly, getting out of the bed. She was Women's satin Silk Sleepwear Pajama Lace Embroidery Faux Silk two piece. Stepping over the chair that had the matching night robe, she wrapped herself with it and slipped on gray slippers. She walked over to the door and opening it softly, stepping out she closed the door quietly. Rubbing her tummy she smiled "alright let's head to the kitchen"
It didn't take her long to find the kitchen, the kitchen was dark. No lights, Jess walked over to the fridge, opening to it smiled to see a jar of pickles label 'Jess's' Jess chuckled "Oh Jackal you sweetheart" taking the pickles out, she placed them on the counter and then closed it to see a cooler with a note on it that had her name on it. She blinked and took the note off 'Jess, here's your cooler with 0- blood. Enjoy' jess giggled and opened the cooler to see 9 bags in it, then she see's next to it a black cup and straw, the cup had white writing on it saying 'Witches Potion' with stars and a crescent moon. Jess smirked "Oh how cute!" she took it then Jess licked her lips and took one bag then closed it. Placing the bag and cup on the counter then got a glass of milk, she sat down on the counter and opened the jar of pickles and started to eat them.
Ross and Paxton were walking through the hallway. "You sure it was a good idea to leave Takara alone?" "Scar is with her so shes fine." They suddenly heard a loud crash and then a scent of blood hit their nose. Ross frowns recognizing the smell. "Paxton…" Paxton nodded. They raced off in the direction of the smell.
Jess burped slightly, she flushed and noticed no one was there. She chuckled and closed the jar and put it the jar back in the fridge, then drank her milk. Finishing it she washed it and put it on the rack, walking over to the cup she unscrewed the stop and then opened the bag of the blood and poured it in the cup. When finished she put the bag in the garbage and grabbed the cup and started sipping it while walking out of the kitchen, walking out she turned back to her room and started to walk. Turning a corner she bumped into something and fell back on her butt not dropping her cup "Ow…!"
She heard something loud clank on the floor. "What the hell?" Turning around she saw that she had ran into the head council member, Elijah. He narrowed his eyes at her. "Oh…its you…you shouldn't be up walking around by yourself…" He walked around looking for something. "Great…A waste of damn time." Jess frowned at him "Well aren't you gonna help a pregnant woman back up?" Pregnant?" he say her tummy, he frowned mentally. He sighed and helped her up "Thank you" Jess said Elijah raised his eyebrow has she took a sip of the blood 'Blood…?' "Why are you drinking blood? Your witch" Jess looked at him "I'm pregnant with a hybrid sir, half witch, half vampire. I have to drink blood to keep the baby alive and myself alive or the baby will use me" He frowned at her. "Of course…you once had a blood sucker as well…deplorable…"
As he walking past her he smelled weird to her like another scent was off him, Jess sighs "You know" he stopped "your wrong council member Elijah" He frowned "About what?" "War, war isn't always the answer to solve your problems. The last time something like this happen, not just vampires and werewolves were effected, the witches where and even the human, millions lives lost over selfishness acts." "Your opinion does not matter girl. You have never been in war and if I wasn't for your being that woman's reincarnation you wouldn't even have a say in the matter." Elijah says.
"A true leader does not rule with his or her thirst for power sacrificing innocent lives, it was lies with in your heart, a true leader rules with love and respect of his or her people and will do what's best for their people" "Silence your tongue witch. I have better things to do then to less to your false words. Go spit that pathetic nonsense to someone who cares." He walks off mumbling to himself.
Jess shook her head "selfish" "Jess?" she looked up to see Oichi and Sakamoto walking up to her, she smiled "Hello, such a amazing night aye?" she said sipping her cup.
Oichi frowned. "Jess its dangerous to walk around alone…" Sakamoto shook his head. "What are you doing here." "That council member… uhm what's his name again AH! Elijah, that was his name… he smelled weird though… strange. I think that I have vampire paranormal senses now…" Jess sighs.
Sakamoto rolled his eyes. "You shouldn't be messing with a guy like that. He's bad news now go to bed. Next time please be with a guard or something." Oichi turned her head and frowned. She walked over to a spot on the floor and picked up a silver key with a wolf and moon on the handle. "How did this get here…" Sakamoto grabbed her hand. "Come on Ichi. I want to finish celebrating in the room. We were cut short because of the guards." Oichi blushed. "Okay, okay…" Jess chuckled "Celebrating?"
Just then Yain appeared in front of them. "My lady. Trouble! Lady Faye was just attacked by an assassin." Oichi eyes widen. "What!? Is she okay?" "Yes, she received a cut on her arm but nothing more. She is currently sitting with Ross and Paxton. The guards have captured the assassin." Oichi frowned and stormed off. "Oichi wait a second!" Sakamoto called out. Jess's eyes widen "Oichi!"
Yain led them to the hall where Faye was sitting. "Grandma! Are you okay!?" Oichi asked rushing to her. Faye nodded. "I'm fine dear. Your friends came to my aid pretty quickly." Oichi looked to see Ross and Paxton in front of the guards. The guards had the person down on the ground with spears across his neck, ready to chop his head off. Oichi walked over to him until she caught the scent. She gasps. "No…!" She pulls the mask off. Sakamoto eyes widen. "Silver!? What the hell are you doing here?"
Silver glared at him. "I'm here to stop this war! If Ronnie dies then these beast can finally die out!" Oichi bit her lip. "You…who told you such lie? If grandfather dies and they find out it was you then there is nothing I can do to stop a war!" Silver snitched his teeth. "I don't want to hear your lies Oichi! Your cousin killed Makoto and now I see why my mother did what she did to Terry! You are nothing but mutts and stupid beast who needs to be put down." Sakamoto eyes turned red in angry as he went to Silver. However, before he could reach him Oichi held her arm out. "Take him to the dungeons and make sure no harm come to him." The guards bows. "Yes my lady." They picked Silver up and pushed him forward.
Paxton sighs. " That idiot…someone must have gotten in his head." Oichi turned to Sakamoto. "Forgive me Saki…I need you to call Seth here. This is going to be really bad…" Sakamoto sighs. "Yeah…" Faye looks at Oichi's hand and she smiled. "Oichi dear! Is that a engagement ring I see!?" Jess gasped loudly "A Ring?!"
Oichi blushed and covered her hand. "Oh well…Grandma don't change the subject…" "Are you and Sakamoto getting married!? How wonderful!" Faye says getting up. "Grandma…" Oichi says turning red. Faye chuckles and hugs her. "Aw I'm happy for you dear. Let me be a grandma okay? Let me snuggle my oldest grandbaby!" She grabbed Sakamoto to. "You to Sakamoto! Welcome to the family!" Jess giggled and clapped her hands "Yay! I'm gonna be a maid of honor!?"
Oichi's face was getting redder. "This is really embarrassing…" Ross and Paxton chuckled. "We got front row seats to the proposal. Did you guys finish celebrating?" "Ross! Shut up! Wait were you spying on us!?" Oichi says. "Yeah. Duh. You think we wouldn't? Man it's like you don't know us at all."
Oichi pouted and looked down. "Yes…Saki ask me to marry him and I said yes…and yes to you Jess. I don't think I could find a better maid of honor so can we all just keep this on the low? I don't want to be squeezed to death by mama when she learns she wasn't the first to know." Faye chuckled. Jess giggles then yawned.
Faye then sighs "Its getting late. Why don't we all head back to bed." She walked over to Ross and Paxton and kissed their forehead making them blush. "Thank you both for saving me. You both are very brave and I'm glad Oichi has such strong friends backing her up." She pats them both on the head and walks off. Ross's and Paxton rubs their head. "Why did that feel…so nice?" Ross asked. Oichi chuckled. "Anyways she's right. We should go back to our rooms." She yawns slightly making Sakamoto frown. "Oh no, your not going to get off that easy." He picked her up and tossed her over his shoulder. "We are still celebrating our engagement here. Ross and Paxton escort Jess back to her room." Oichi blushed as she willingly let Sakamoto take her away. Jess yawned again "goodnight you two" she winked then started to sip some of her cup. Ross shook his head. "Come on, back to bed."
Guiding her back to her room, they opened door for her and Aii was still sleeping. Jess smiled has she turned to them "Thank you boys"
"No problem just no walking alone next time." Paxton says. She then frowned "I think Oichi… should be really worried about that council member Elijah…I bumped into him tonight… he looked at me like I shouldn't have been here… he referred me to as 'that woman'…. and when he found out I was pregnant with half vampire baby… the way he talk sounded make it seem like my baby was abomination… and when mention war is never the answer he said my words are meaningless…" she sniffed and started tear "I'm sorry these silly pregnancy hormones…"
"True, but there is always corrupt men and women everywhere. Nothing you can do for that. Oichi will figure this out and of course with our support she will get through everything." Ross says. "In a weird way, without scums like that the world wouldn't be balance. You need a necessary evil to balance out the overwhelming goodness or everything will become chaotic." Paxton says. Ross nodded. "Anyways we are going to walk around a bit. Get some rest." He says waving and walking off. "Good night." Paxton says following Ross. Jess closed the door and climbed back in bed, sighing 'something is off about that man….' She said has darkness to over.
Elijah, still in the castle was a large door. On one side it had a feather symbol and on the other a wolf. He pulled out a key that had also had a feather symbol. He frowned looking at the wolf side. "Curse that damn girl. All I needed was that one key and I could have already gotten what a needed." He bangs the door. "Curse that witch, Curse those blood suckers, Curse everyone who opposes me." He grits his teeth and storms away.
A week passed and word had spread how Silver tried to assassinate Faye and Ronnie. There was a public outcry for his death. It only made Oichi's efforts much harder to stop the war. The one good thing she had going was the people were on her side mostly. Half of them didn't want war and did their best to uphold that. While the others flock to the side of Elijah and wanted war. She had tried getting Silver to talk but he told her nothing. Against the wishes of the council she had letters sent out to all the kings, inviting them to a meeting so that they could figure this out together and end this situation before it grows further.
In her room, Oichi was getting dressed. She was wearing a black and blue mix pattern, modest spandex V-neck floor length mermaid gown with lace. Her hair had grown even longer now, passed her hips just about. She sighs in a bit of frustration. Sakamoto was at her desk helping with some work. They had both been going through Ronnie's journal and notes trying to find some answers. Sakamoto pulled his glasses off. "Its time for the meeting hun." Oichi turned to him. "Yes, let's hope everything goes well." Sakamoto stand up and kisses her. "Everything will go well and with my father and the other Kings here nothing to bad. You have done your best by yourself and you held down the fort without the backing of that council. Grandfather and the others have been doing this for decades."
Oichi looked down. "I wish I could have done better…" Sakamoto lifts her chin. "You have done an amazing job. The people of this kingdom love you like you have been ruling forever. You have done a fine job." He took her hand and rubbed his thumb over her ring. "This does make good practice one day when it's time for us to rule. As husband and wife." Oichi blushed and smiled. "Yes…" They shared a passionate kiss.
There was a knock on the door. They pulled apart. "Come in." Oichi says. The door opened and Ross and Paxton walked in. Ross was carrying Takara who had on a royal blue dress and cute white shoes. "Ma!" She says waving. Oichi smiled. "Hi sweetie." She walked over to her and took her from Ross. "Your so cute." Her eyes then widen. "Maybe…you can help me." They looked at her as she walked by.
Zach appeared in the hallway that had his portrait in it, he was wearing an black shirt that a gold rose pattern in the shoulders and hems of the sleeves and a white dress shirt with black shoes. On his left was his nephew wearing a black Leather Slim Blazer and slim pants set with black converse. On his blazer what his royal brooch. On Zach's right was Dawn, she was wearing Burgundy Halter Ruched Chiffon Adjustable Spaghetti Strap Ruffle Open Back A-Line Maxi Dress with black heels and on her dress was a Black Onyx Triple Moon Brooch. Having her hand hooked to his a elegant way, Zach see's Jackal he smiles softly "Jackal" Dawn smiled "hello Jackal" Kaci blinked "Yo Jackal! Where's Ross?" he smiled, Zach sighs softly "forgive him he misses his boyfriend"
Jackal chuckled. "It is quite alright. I do teach at the school so I've very use to this with my students. Sir Ross was seen heading to lady Oichi's chambers." Hannah walked up. "This is Hannah, she has been their guild for the past week. She will take you to him if they are still there. However, I do must ask you to head her words. If Sir Ross is in a place you cannot enter. Then you cannot under any circumstances enter. I thank you for understanding." Hannah bows. "Please follow me." Kaci nodded and followed her.
Jackal looked at Zach and Dawn. "The meeting won't start for another hour, you are free to roam around, visit King Ronnie, or stay seated in the council room until it's time. A guard walked up. "These men will have to escort you anywhere you see fit until then." Zach chuckled "Thank you Jackal, Please to the garden" he asks the guard. The guard bows. "Of course Sir. Please follow me." He walks off down the hall. Zach and Dawn followed him.
Kaci followed Hannah, stopping at a room. Kaci looked to her "do I have to wait…?" Hannah knocks on the door. No one answered. A guard walking by came to her. "Lady Oichi and her company has gone to the dungeon. She asked not to be disturbed." He looked at Kaci. "However, this one is allowed to come. Sir Ross has requested to bring him. Lady Oichi had approved." Hannah nodded. "Come along. We have learned that Sir Ross is very needy when he wants to be." She says sighing. Kaci flushed with a smile 'very indeed'
Down in the dungeon's Oichi and the others were under the palace in the dungeon. The guards lead them to Silvers cell. Silver was sitting down, leaning on the wall. "Leave us." Oichi says. The guards bows and left. Silver sighed. "I told you I have nothing for you."
Oichi frowned. "Silver. This will be the last time we speak like this. For your actions the city wants you dead. I don't wish that for you." "Oh so you came to do it yourself." Ross growls. "Careful you little shit. She's trying to save your life." "My life is nothing! Because of you and your family Makoto is…" "Makoto is dead and I'm sorry but she left us…a most wonderful gift." She holds out Takara. When she sees Silver she smiles and waves. "Hi Hi!" She says laughing. Silver bit his lip. "Makoto may be gone and I know how much you blame yourself but please don't throw our families into war over lies. Takara still needs her uncle's Silver. She needs you, Lucien, and Saki, her family. So please…tell me everything." Silver looked at Takara who was smiling at him. He put his head down. "Fine…"
Zach and Dawn in the garden, Dawn smiled brightly at the flowers and blue tree's "Wow these tree's are beautiful" Zach smirked looking up and down at Dawn has she stepped away from to look at the tree's and flowers "Yes very beautiful" he reached out and took her hand spinning her around making her gasp "Zach…?" Zach chuckled "Dawn… I know we have been sort of fooling around.. you know friends with benfits but I can't do it anymore" Dawn blinked "Oh… but why?" Zach lifted her right hand and kisses it "Because I'm in love with you, I want to see something much more" Dawn's eyes widen had has she felt him put something on her ring finger, she glanced down and she gasped, their on her ring finger was gothic Victorian ring with sterling silver and a ruby in the middle. "Zach… are you asking me to…" Zach chuckled and kissed her forehead "Become my queen?" Dawn's face flushed "Oh Zach… Yes!" Zach grinned and they shared a romantic kiss.
In the hall, Seth appeared with both his sons. Hayate and Rune and his nephew Lucien. Beside him was the same woman he was with in the city. She was wearing a black round neck high waist Chiffon overlay jumpsuit. Jackal was waiting for them. "King Seth welcome and who may I…" Before Jackal could finish the guards surrounded the woman and Seth, pointing spears at them. Lucien frowned. "What's the big deal!" "That woman smells like the dark witch!" One yelled out. "No dark witch will be allowed near her majesty nor our King!"
The woman chuckled. "My am I hated here as well." Jackal claps his hand. "Please shield your weapons. We don't point our weapons at honored guest. Including the fiancée family of Lady Oichi." The guards frowned but lowered their weapons. Lucien eyes widen. "Fiancée?" Seth looked back at him. "Yes, Sakamoto and Oichi will be getting married." Jackal looked at Seth. "My King? May I ask who your guest is?" "Yes, this is Rishima. She may help us bring this pointless discussion to a end." Jackal nodded. "Yes, a witch with Valeriea's scent all over her. Are you sure that is wise sir?" Seth nodded. "Yes, now please is it time for the meeting?" "Yes. Everyone should be gathering at the council hall room. "These guards will escort you there. Of course your sons, nephew and guest will have to sit on the balcony." "My son Rune is my guard so he shall be with me and Rishima is a important guest she will also stand by me." Jackal smiles. "I understand." The guards frowned but led Seth and the others to the room.
Oichi and the others were walking up from the dungeon's when they ran into Hannah and Kaci. "Hey, it's about time you got here." Ross says chuckling. Kaci smiled and walked up to him wrapping his arms around his waste kissing him "I missed you…" Ross chuckled into the kiss.
Zach and Dawn bumped into Seth, Rishima and the guards. Zach chuckled "King Seth my friend, how are you? And who this lovely witch you have you?" Dawn pouted slightly but smiled "King Seth, and?" she looked at Rishima. Rishima did a slightly curtsey. "I am Rishima. Former worshipper of Valeriea the dark witch." Zach chucked "I see, it's good to see some witches switching sides" Dawn frowned at her slightly.
Rishima chuckled. "I once served the dark witch a lifetime ago. I also had a very large cult dedicated to her. Once things didn't pan out unfortunately I had to hide or my life would have been taken. Lord Seth tracked me down so that I may help anyways I can. Of course for a price." Dawn closed her eyes "Why the sudden change Rishima?" "Frankly that is no of your business Lady Dawn. I changed sides accordingly on my morals." She says smiling.
Seth noticed the ring on Dawn's finger "Zach, I see you have picked a new life mate" Dawn flushed, Zach chuckled "Yes, I'm moving forward. It's what Kira would want, being with Dawn… I fell in love again" Dawn giggled softy.
"Yes, it is a great dead to find a new life mate. Few like myself unfortunately may never find one. I am happy for you. Along with Sakamoto and Oichi's wedding it will seem like I will be attending another." Rishima smiles. "Congratulations to you both." Zach chuckled "Thank you"
Reaching the council room, Zach chuckled "Looks the same" Dawn chuckled "should I head to the balcony?" Zach nodded and kissed her cheek, Dawn smiled and walked away to the balcony. Walking on it she see's Danni "Danni!"
Danni was frowning as she looked down from the balcony. "Hi Dawn…" She was wearing a floral print jumpsuit with a sweetheart bodice that extend into an over skirt. "Sorry…I'm a bit…irritated…" Dawn blinked "You alright?"
"On one had those bastards tries to tell me I can't attend this meeting ugh…if I can snap necks I would and of course not being the first to know of Oichi and Saki getting married." She pouted. "Of course mother had to find out first…gahh…I cant have any 'mom' advantages." Dawn stepped over to her taking her hand "it's alright danni, I was nerves on Jess being there during the meeting but I know she will be alright with the boys, Aii, River and Oichi watching out for her… I'm more worried about what Oichi will do when she finds out that council member Elijah did to Jess…" Danni blinked "What wait….?" Dawn sat down with her and started to tell her about what happen when Jess was here.
Zach sat down in his spot with Seth sitting next to him "So where is Oichi?" he chuckled. "She will get here when she gets here I guess." Seth says.
In the painting hallway, Jess appeared with River. Jess was wearing an elegant gown, the gown is made of a beautiful light fabric in silver color with matching flats and on her forehead was an elegant elven like tiara with a moonstone Jem on the front. River next to her was wearing her new ninja outfit. On her hip was a belt that had Jess's bottle flask of blood incase she needed some. Jackal approached her "Lady Jess you look stunning, the meeting is gonna be starting in minute" Jess blinked "Oh my, I'm so sorry I came late" she pouted slightly. "It is fine but we should going before the doors or closed." Jess nodded and followed him with River behind her.
Reaching the room, they saw a few council members who were required to attend the meeting. Elijah was one of them. They walked in and sat on the opposite side of Zach and Seth and stayed silent. Elijah looked at the end of the table to see Oichi wasn't there. "Where is Lady Oichi…this meeting can't start without the girl…" He says mumbling the last part. Zach was about to say something when Jackal entered with Jess "Here you are Lady Jess" Jess smiled "Thank you Jackal" she stepped over and see's Elijah, she frowned at him. Zach motioned her over "Come and sit next to me and Seth Jess" Jess smiled and walked over "Hello King Seth and King Zach" Seth smiled at her "Hello Jessica" he reached out and touched her tummy rubbing it "I heard what happen, how are you and the baby are doing?" Jess smiled "Very good king Seth, thank you" she sat down in between them when Zach moved down one. Some of the council members where confused on why she was here "Wait why is a witch in this meeting?" Jess frowned looking down.
Elijah sighs. "Our in acting Queen believes the girls opinion will be worth our while seeing as she is a reincarnation and once had a lover that was a vampire. Of course, the conversation will not change much." Rune stood behind Seth and Rishima chuckled as she sat down beside Seth. "Do we witches scare you so much poor wolf?" Elijah frowned. "of course not but this should be a private meeting between us and the Kings not for you two witches…" He took a deep breath, calming down.. "Has anyone seen Lady Oichi. I wish to get this meeting over with though it will end the same." He says leaning back in the chair. Jess sighs "Still so selfish" Elijah narrowed at her.
Rishima smirks. "The darkness that pours out of this meeting is like a buffet. Valeriea would have loved to have a weak man like yourself." The council members glared at her. "Do not say that witches name here!" One of them said. Zach shook his head "Enough already"
Soon they heard high heels clacking on the floor. Up on the balcony Sakamoto and the others walked up. Hayate was sitting on the other side of Danni. "Saki and…my grandchild Takara." Takara giggled. Lucien was leaning on the wall. Sakamoto sat beside his father and Ross and the others sat on the other side of him.
They turned their heads to the door and saw Oichi walking in, with Scar on her side and Yain on her other side. Behind her two more guards walked around her and went to stand by her throne. Zach smiled at her. "Oichi you look stunning." Oichi took her seat at the head of the table. "Thank you for the compliment King Zach. I apologize for being late but I had some duties to take care of." Seth nods. "It is quite alright. As queen you have many duties to tend to. Without a proper backing of a council it is hard to be on time. I also wish to congratulate you and Sakamoto on your engagement." Zach chuckled and patted her head "Yes, I'm gonna be your new step father" Jess giggled "Awesome" "Yes Congratulations." Oichi says smiling.
Zach cleared his throat "before we began your majesty, I would like to say something" Jess blinked at him. "You may go ahead." Oichi says.
Zach looked at Elijah "Council member Elijah, I would ask of an apology for your behavior towards Lady Jess and my unborn grandchild growing in her womb" some council member's eyes widen slightly. Jess looked down 'dam it…' "You were disrespectful towards her and the baby, referring her has 'that woman' because she is the reincarnation of Regina and when she gave her peace on war is never the answer, mhmm what was your words to her, "Silence your tongue witch. I have better things to do then to less to your false words. Go spit that pathetic nonsense to someone who cares."? Yes those words" Jess kept her head down. River behind her was narrowing at Elijah.
Elijah gave him a blank look. "I will do no such thing. I said nothing wrong that would cause me to apologize to her. I stand by my words. Why would I let some child tell me her piece on war when she's never been in one or known the effects on it herself. Just because she's a reincarnation doesn't mean she has the right to tell me anything. So no. I will not apologize." Jess frown, Zach narrowed at him "he's been through much then you know sir, it may have been like a war"
Oichi sighs. "Everyday it is the same thing with you. What you said to Jess is down right rude and disgusting. Not to mention Jess is a honored guest here when you insult her and my niece you insult me…" Scar growls. "…and you already know what happens when you upset me…" Her eyes flicker blue Elijah bit his lip and shiver. He then snitched his teeth. "My…apologize…Lady Jess…" He said. Jess frowned at him, Zach sighs.
Oichi sighs and looked around the table. "I would like to get this meeting started. Trust me, the councilmen will be taken care off after." "My lady…" Elijah says frowning. "We are here to avoid a war not start one at the table. I asked King Seth and King Zach here because their opinion is valuable. Unlike the rest of us sitting at this table they have been through a war and they have seen the cause and the effect of it. You once said that since I was a child then I wouldn't know anything about war so here are two people who clear do. So please speak how you have been speaking and see how far your words get you. I hope that once this meeting is over we can finally put this behind us once and for all…" Zach nodded "I have been through countless wars, and same has Seth. We were once at war with each other, it was 2,000 year old war council members. And I will tell you it was not a pleasant war, so many lives lost. Each war has a scar on our history, wars have consequences and the damage is permeant that can never be undone"
Jess closed her eyes and then opened them "As I said to council member Elijah a week ago 'War, war isn't always the answer to solve your problems. The last time something like this happen, not just vampires and werewolves were affected, the witches where and even the humans, millions of lives were lost over selfishness acts. A true leader does not rule with his or her thirst for power sacrificing innocent lives. It's what's lies in your heart, a true leader rules with love and respect of his or her people and will do what's best for their people…." Zach smiled "Very wise Jess"
"I will repeat my words as well child. Your words do not mean a thing when you haven't been through an actual war." Elijah says rubbing his head. Jess looks at Elijah "I may not have been through a true war before but I know a thing or too about death…. Dodging death, fighting from death and surviving death. Have you ever had someone you love die in your hands council member?" "Most of us have." He says.
"Then you know death isn't always the answer do you? Do you wish to see your people die because you want power of war?" Jess asks. Zach smirked 'wow if didn't know any better… it would be like ancient times with Regina…'
"This is nothing but a bunch of tomfoolery. Just because you lost your blood sucking lover you think that gives you the right to call what you been through a war!? Its nothing but silly teen love who think we world revolves around here." Elijah sat up. "In the history books of your forefathers and even the human forefathers has there ever been a time when war did not bring out a better outcome! So what if people died they died for a cause!"
One of the members looked at Oichi. "Lady Oichi. Even your grandfathers went to war for a great cause." Oichi rubbed Scars head. "My grandfather's went to war to decided who would become the King. If you read the books right, Anthony, Grandma Lily's husband sacrifice himself on the battlefield because he deemed that to much wolf blood had been shed. Innocent people and towns kept getting dragged into it. What point is a war when you lose millions of lives…what subjects would you rule over if they are all dead? What power do you think you have when you have nothing to use it on…Are you really that power hungry that you would condemned our own people." Oichi asked with sadness in her eyes. Elijah frowned. "No.. I… but…" He sighs as he was speechless. The council members went silent.
Jess bites her lip and stood up "I'm sorry but did you say for a great cause…?" Zach blinked at her then frown "Jess… please sit…" "How in the world can it be a great cause for PEOPLE to die FOR war?! Answer me Elijah!" "I don't have to answer anything for you." Elijah says.
"Do you know why the magic council is a temporary leave?" Jess asks. Zach closed his eyes and had a hidden smirk. "I don't really care why but with your outburst I suppose your going to tell me anyways…" Elijah says sighing.
"Cause they tried to end the war with the death of Eric! They thought he caused what we are here for! The magical was disbanded for the time being until the resolve with Werewolves and Vampires come to a peaceful manner!" Jess snapped and her eyes started to glow, Zach eyes widen "Jess calm down, the baby" Oichi sighs mentally as she halted the guards that were posted around the walls on the room.
"What gives you the right to sit here and say having people die is a great cause of WAR?!" Jess yelled out. River frowned "My lady please calm down"
Jess blinked "Oh my… I'm so sorry… I didn't know what came over me" she frowned and sat down with a sniff, Zach chuckled "The pregnancy Hormones Jess" Jess frowned "Forgive me Oichi…."
"Jess are you sure you wish to continue. I don't want you to sit here and to put stress on your body and the baby. This is a very emotional and stressful topic we are dealing with. I don't want to risk your health or anything." Oichi says to her. Jess sniffed but nodded "I'm fine, I do apologize…"
"Very well…then we shall continue." Oichi looked at Seth. "King Seth? Would you like to join us on this topic." Seth nodded and looked at the councilmembers. "Let's get to the actual reasons why we are all here." Rishima smirked.
In Ronnie's chambers, Faye was pulling the blanket over Ronnie. She sighs as she sat on the bed holding his hand. "My dearest…" Her eyes started to fade in and out due to exhaustion. She shook her head. "No, I promise I would stay by your side…" She pulled his hand up and placed it on her cheek. "I love you my sweet stubborn wolf." She sniffed as a tear ran down her cheek. Just then she felt his hand twitch. Her eyes widen. "Ronnie? My love?" She watched as he frowned in his sleep. His eyes then flickered open. He blinks a few times before his eyes landed on a teary Faye. "Ronnie…"
Ronnie smiles sweetly as her and cups her cheek. "Sorry for making you wait so long for me." Faye started to cry as she pulled him up carefully. She then hugged him. Ronnie chuckled as he placed a hand over her head. "Your crying a lot. Did you think I wouldn't come back to you?" He felt her shake her head. He then felt her go limp on him. He frowned and looked down to see she had passed out. "Faye?"
A Knock was heard at the door and Jackal walked in with a plate of food. "My Lady it's time for your…" He looked up to see Ronnie. "My King! Your awake!" He rushed to him. "Yes. Place Faye in the bed and help me dress." "Are you sure my King? You both need your rest." Jackal placed the food down and picked Faye up, carrying her to the other side. Ronnie looked at his shoulder blade and frowned at his missing arm. "I need to fetch something. Is the meeting still going on?" Jackal nodded. "Yes my King." "Good. I will need you assistance."
Back in the council room, Seth was looking around. "Let's start at the beginning. Everyone here should know about my history and Ronnie's. His brother killed my wife. I was given the chance to take his head but I did not because I know my wife would not want me to take revenge in her name. Dorian then used the weapon he made with my wife's body to harm Oichi and poison her with a deadly toxins that could kill her once that dark spell is removed." Oichi frowned at this and nodded. Jess frowned, Zach closed his eyes and listen.
"Next is my eldest daughter, Cassandra. What she did to Terry is simply unforgivable but I had no part in her work. I do not disagree that I am the reason she is like that. I bread that hate into her heart and body. When the treaty was sighed I'd hope she would adapted but instead her hate grew. I had to disowned her and make sure she would never have my title. Who knows what damage she could have done. She has also sided with the dark witch Valeriea. There is a warrant out for her arrest. She has brought shame on my families name and I truly believe she is the reason why we are in this mess." Oichi nodded. "Yes, she was very open about that…she never like the idea of the treaty nor accept Makoto's and Tate relationship nor me and Sakamoto's. There is clear hate in her heart and I feel as she used my cousin as a banner to stake her own claim and not Seth's" Zach nodded "She even hated the treaty with the witches and tried to assassin Regina's daughter when Emilea was baby" Jess frowned "wait what?" Seth sighs and nodded "It's true… but Regina left the punishment in my hands…." Zach closed his eyes "Regina didn't want to start to start away because she new it would cause nothing but death, her and Jareth did not want to start another vampire and witch war"
"Cassandra had always carried hate in her heart and as her father I am ashamed to say that I could not control her thirst for war. So as Ronnie did so many years ago to me, if Cassandra is caught by your hands you may have her head if it pleases you. My daughter has turned her back on us and would rather side with Valeriea to fulfill her need of death."
The council members looked at Oichi. "My lady we should take his offer." Elijah says. "Oh now you wish to be a team player…" Oichi says making him frown. "We will take your offer King Seth however I wish for her to be alive. Anyone who is able to capture her is not to take her life until we get the answers we need." They nodded. Jess shook her head "It wont be that easy"
Elijah looked at Seth. "I guess that means you want Prince Eric back for taking your granddaughters life…" Seth shook his head. "No, I know Eric didn't do and today I have brought proof of that." Rishima smiles. "My turn then?" She looks at them. "Well greetings. I am Rishima. I am a former follower of Valeriea. That woman has more influence then you know. She is able to draw out your deepest desires with a flick of her wrist." She got up and went to the edge of the table.
"Would you get to your proof already witch." Elijah growled out. "Elijah would you please close your mouth for one second and let her speak?" Oichi says. Rishima smiles at Oichi. "My Lady. The proof I have is more then enough to clear Eric's name. Not only did I bring the proof…"
She turns around and spreads her arms out. Dark aura started to swell into her hands. Her aura felt like Valeriea. Oichi grabbed her chest as the seal in her chest throbbed, but she held out. Yain stood by her close with Scar ready to catch her if she passed out. The guards quickly pointed out spears ready to attack. The council members gasps as they stood up. "What in the world are you doing!?" Jess's eyes widen "What are you doing?!" Zach frowned.
Rishima chanted something as a dark symbol appeared in front of her. Chains started to drip out along with a body. It was a woman with black and white hair and in a all white dress. Her mouth was covered and her wrist and ankles were chained up and the chains were coming from the symbol. Rishima sighs out as she nearly collapses from the amount of magic she used. Seth got up and caught her and helped her stand steady. "Forgive me. It's been a while since I've done this." She looked at Oichi was hold still hold her chest. "Just hang for me a little longer my dear. I know this dark spell is dangerous for you." Oichi nodded. "Please go on…quickly…" She says in heavy breaths. Jess frowned "Oichi…."
Rishima looked at the girl. "This is a shapeshifter. She works for Valeriea and she is currently a prisoner at Seth's castle at his home. I caught her as a peace offering hoping he would give me settler and protection from Valeriea herself. This woman shifted into Eric the day of Makoto's murder." She snaps her fingers and the girl felt a jolt go through her body. They watch's as she turned into Eric. "See a perfect image, she's so great that she even smell like him but to those who have a great smell can easily tell it's not him." She took a deep breath and clapped her hands together. The symbol started to shrink and as it did it pulled the girl back inside. The symbol snapped shut and the dark aura disappeared. Oichi sighs out as she broke out into a sweet. "My lady…" Oichi held a hand up to Yain silencing him. "Im… fine…" She says sighing. "That was proof enough for you that Eric name is cleared. Don't you agree Elijah…" Elijah looked down. "Yes my lady…"
Jess frowned "King Seth what are you gonna do with her?" Zach nodded "Yes Seth what are you gonna do with him" River noticed Jess looking pale, so she handed her the flask "Here lady Jess you need blood keep the baby happy" Jess smiled and opened it and drank some.
"Get as much information as I can squish out of her and then kill her." Seth says. Oichi frowned. "I see…well she is your prisoner and you are free to do what you like with her. Now moving on about Silver…" Elijah frowned and looked at her. "One second! What about how his grandmother put our King into a coma! Are we not addressing that!" Oichi shook her head. "No we are not…at the park that day everyone here at this table and in the balcony know of this issue. On that day, Lady Thalia's body was stolen by Cassandra and was healed and Revived by Valeriea."
Oichi looked at Rishima. "You said you were once a follower of Valeriea correct?" She nodded. "Tell me how does it work being a follower of hers?" Rishima frowned. "Well once you swore yourself to her, your under her protection. She has created a very high advance spell that allows you to be cloaked and it forms a protective barrier around you if you were to be attacked. The only down side is…those she keeps as warriors such as Cassandra and Lady Thalia are bound to her until she dies or they die. Those who only wish to stay by her side or avoid fighting are put under a spell that prevents them from talking about her whereabouts and anything dealing with her. If someone manages to break that spell there is a back up spell that will kill the person before they could blink."
Oichi looked down. "So there is no way to free Lady Thalia from her?" "There is a way. If Lady Thalia is able to break her bond from Valeriea then she will be set free. Although when it happens Valeriea will wipe her mind as she did to me." Elijah shook his head. "All the better. We can charge her of the crimes she committed towards King Ronnie and Lady Faye." "No. We will not." The council members looked at her with shock. "What? Have you gone mad!" One of them said. "Why should we not have her punished after what she did!" Another yelled out. "Lady Oichi…my queen…please think about this." Elijah says.
"I said no. I will not charge Lady Thalia with those crimes. Anyone who is under the spell of Valeriea does not have a mind of their own." "Even so that woman has also been killing our kind along with her parents!" "Who are both dead." Seth says. "There sins are your sins as well." "If we are going over sins then let's not forget you, your fathers and grandfathers also killed Vampires. Should we judge your sins for that. Your logic works both ways." Jess nodded "true, everyone sins against each other" Zach nodded also.
Elijah growls out. "Filthy…" "Enough!" Oichi says as her voice rang through the room. "Lady Thalia will not be charged of the crimes against my grandfather and I'm sure my grandfather would go with that decision to. If she were sound of mind and not under control of Valeriea then yes she would be punished for her crimes. Unlike Cassandra I've read that Lady Thalia is the kindest person you'd ever meet. Is that true king Seth?" Seth nodded. "I suppose so yes. My grandmother told me that my mother was never a woman of war. She hated the very thought of it. The only time she ever went out on a battle field was to save the life of her people. After that she spoke out freely about not wanting any bloodshed. I was still a newborn at the time of her attack and sleep but every now and then I'd feel her watching over me. I could sometimes feel the discomfort and disappointment from her every time I went to battle for her name. So I am sure that even now she is fighting to get out of Valeriea's control."
Jess sighs softly putting her cup on the table "I agree with Oichi on Thaila not being charged on her crimes, she was not in her right mind.. it was all Valeriea " Elijah narrowed at her, Zach closed his eyes and put this fingers together "My mother and Thaila where great friends before me and Seth took over our kingdom's after out mothers went into a sleep, but it was found out my mother never went into a sleep. Her soul was stolen by her own son, my own brother Clover…. Has Oichi said about Sins, is true… vampire do sins to other vampires, werewolves do sins against other werewolves, witches do sins to other witches, human so sins to other human. It's an ending circle of sins, not everyone in the world is prefect not everyone has so sure, which comes around to everyone sins against each other"
Oichi smiles. "She will be safe King Seth. No harm shall come to her from our side. Whenever she can finally break free please tell her that she does not need to hide and we do not judge her actions from the past. Just like you she will be welcomed here with peace and forgiveness." Seth smiled softly. "Thank you for your kind words. I'm sure she will be happy to know that." He then chuckled. "You have your will of conversation and leadership from your grandfather and the heart from your grandmother. They both would be proud of you." Oichi chuckles. "They have taught me well. Thank you for your words." Jess chuckled, Zach smiled "yes you are doing them proud Oichi"
Oichi looks at the guards at the door. "Now, for the last bit of this meeting. The attack on my grandmother and the attempt assassination of my grandfather. Bring him in." Oichi says.
The door open and two guards walked in with Silver in chains. Up on the balcony Lucien walked over leans down. "Brother…what have you done…" He says biting his lip. Down below the guards placed Silver at the head of the table across from Oichi and forced him down to his knees. Elijah smirked. "Now, Silver Ruska your grandson and the son of Cassandra has found her a week ago trying to attack our lord and Queen. There are witnesses who say this and the guards can confirm it. So we will be demanding a trail for him." Seth frowned. There was nothing he could really say or do. Silver refused to talk to him and he did not have the proper time to force the words out of him. He sighs in defeat making Elijah chuckle. Zach frowned at him "Elijah mind telling what so funny?" Jess's nose started to tinkle 'what is this smell I'm smelling..?" she looked like she was about to sneeze, River behind her quickly gave her a handkerchief, Jess took it and made a soft cute sneeze. Zach chuckled at her "Well that cute" Jess flushed "noo..!" River behind her chuckled.
Seth looked at Elijah with a slight glare. "Very we…" "No. We will not." Oichi says cutting him off. They looked at him. Elijah's mouth nearly dropped to the floor. "What!? My lady no! We all agreed that this boy should be put on trial! In what mind set is it okay for you to say no now!" "We agreed that he would be sent to trial unless we found evidence telling us other wise." "The boy hasn't spoken to anyone in a week! What evidence could you possibly come up with?"
Oichi got up. She was a little wobbly from earlier. Yain help her stand. "Thanks." Yain nodded. She walked around the table to Silver who had his head lowered. "Stand aside please." She told the guards. They stepped back. Oichi reached down and grabbed the chins around Silvers wrist. She crushed them and then pulled them off. "What madness is this!" Elijah says. Oichi helped Silver to his feet. "Silver…remember what we talked about moments ago?" Sliver nodded. They heard light giggling. Silver looked up at the balcony to see Takara bouncing on Sakamoto's lap as she looked down at him. "Hi Hi!" She says waving.
Silver smiles and looks at Seth and then back at Oichi. "I remember…" "Then speak." Silver sighs. "I…I did try to kill Lady Faye and King Ronnie a week ago. I do not deny it and will live up to whatever punishment you see fit to me." Elijah nodded. "Good! Then let's get…" "However, I was told that if I were to get rid of King Ronnie then that would avoid a war. If he died the people would be into great mourning that they would forget about everything else." Silver bit his lip. "Makoto…she was a innocent person who got dragged in this crap and her life was taken because of it…" He tears up. "I just didn't want anymore innocent people to suffer. I swear that's all I wanted. It's not fair that Takara has to grow up without her mother or father and I don't want other children ending up that way…" He says as tears ran down his cheeks. Oichi rubbed his back. Jess frowned "Silver…."
"Tell us who told you that and how you got past the barrier." Silver wipes his tears and frowned. He looked around and his eyes landed on Elijah. "He was the one." The council members gasps at this looking at Elijah. Zach's eyes widen with anger, Jess frowned at him "you…?"
"He sent word for me and told me that if I could manage to kill Ronnie then the war will never happen. He was able to sneak me into the barrier and get me in the palace without notice and he told me where to go." All eyes were on Elijah. "What! The boy is obviously lying! Why would I tell him how to avoid a war when I want to stop it!? Huh!?" Silver glared at him. "I may be a lot of things but I am not a liar. I was taught better then that." Elijah bit his lip. "Well…explain yourself…" Oichi says. Zach was narrowing at him "Go on speak council member!"
Elijah grows out and then tried to rush toward Oichi and Silver. "You worthless blood sucker!" Silver eyes widen until stood in front of him. She raised her hand and smacked Elijah into the wall. His body landed with a hard thump on the ground. The two guards pointed their spears at him as he sat up. Scar walked over with a menacing glare and stood on front of Elijah ready to attack him if he even moved. Yain was beside Oichi. "My lady are you alright?" Oichi nodded. "Yes." She looked at Elijah. "You conspired against your own people and your King. Is that how far you are willing to go for your selfish desire of war!" Jess gasped stood up "How dare you!"
Elijah glared at her. "I wont talk to a false Queen! Your nothing like your grandfather! You will never rule with such a pathetic kind heart! You and that witch bitch should have never been born! How dare you come here and speak as if you know what we have been through! I could care less about the opinion of women let long two women who were manipulated by two fuckin blood suckers!" The council members eyes were widen with disgust and shock by the words Elijah said.
Then a smell hit her nose, she blinked and then frowned. She walk over to Silver making River follow her. Zach stood up "Jess what are you doing?" Jess then looked at Silver and walked over to him and not so close with river right sniffed him and looked at Oichi "Same…" "Same what…"
Jess stepped to Elijah without getting to close, she sniffed and glared at him "now I know… that night I bumped into you… you smelled weird like you had other scent on you…." Zach blinked at her "it was him?" Jess nodded "He did let in Silver that night I bumped into him…." Elijah glared at her. "You know nothing!" He reached a hand out to grab her.
River quick then anyone had Elijah by the throat "you dare to attach her?!" she let out a dragon growl, Jess frowned "River don't kill him, leave it to Oichi…" Zach frown and walked over gently moving Jess out of the way. River still have Elijah by the neck looked at Oichi who nodded to her, River dropped him and stepped back in front of Jess in a protective way.
Scar growled deeply at Elijah. Oichi rubbed his head. Oichi walked up to Elijah. "You are truly a sad man…" Rishima stood up. "My lady…" Oichi turned her head. Rishima walked up to her. "May I step in for a second? I know most of everyone here wants to kill this man but his mind is still of use to you. Allow me to gather that knowledge for you." Oichi nodded. "Alright then…" Rishima chuckled and walked up to Elijah and reached out for him. "Don't you dare lay your filthy hands on me witch!" she places her hand on his forehead and he went silent. His eyes rolled to the back of his head and so did hers. They stayed that way for a few seconds until Rishima gasps and pulled away. Elijah's eyes went back to normal.
Rishima took a step back. "This man…is a follower of Valeriea." "What!?" Oichi says in disbelief. Jess's eyes widen "What?!" Zach growled "Well, Well… what a surprise'
"I'm surprised she did not shield your mind… Last year in December it was he who allowed her into the barrier with a man named Dorian. He lead her to a underground chamber where the man Terrance was held and he has been feeding Cassandra information on the events that has been going on." A council member stood up. "You fool! You allowed Valeriea to get her hands on the dragon! Do you have any ideas what you have done!" Elijah looked down then he chuckled. "Of course I have…I have brought war on this land and just as promised I will rule what's left of the world." Oichi eyes turned blue in anger. "You…You traitorous bastard. How could you betray your own kind!" Jess bites her lip "you fool!"
Elijah just laughed. "Its to late to stop it girl. Lady Valeriea has just about all she need now. Once she has her full power back she will come for you." Oichi bit her lip. "She will come and rip your soul out right out of your body." Oichi grabbed her chest and shivers. Yain stood in front her protectively. Elijah looked at Jess. "I hope your ready to have a another precious person of yours to die right in your arms. Ahaha!" Jess narrowed at him, Zach glared with his eyes turning red.
Just then the doors were open. They all turned there heads to see Ronnie walk in. He was wearing all black shirt, shoes, and pants. He have a overcoat on and his dreads were in a long ponytail that almost reached his back. "Grandpa! Your awake!" Oichi says tearing. Up in the balcony, Danni smiled. "Papa…" Seth stood up. "Finally decided to wake up I see." Zach smiled "Ronnie, your awake" Jess blinked and smiled "My old friend, your awake!"
Ronnie looked around. "Yes, I've been hearing things from Faye about this as I slept." He frowned, looking at Jess. "Aii isnt with you…that brat. Calling me a old man was just as rude as her entering my mind without permission." Jess blinked and frowned "I'm sorry Ronnie.. I'll have her apologize to you"
Ronnie then looked at Elijah. "You…I've always expect you to be dirty but this is even low for you. How dare any of you think you can rough shot my granddaughter into a war that is not necessary. I've never had a council as a ruled and I wont start now. So as of this moment this council is disbanded. Get out." He says. The council members frowned and stood up, removing themselves from the table. They walked by Ronnie and was about to walk to the door when they gasps out. "Keep walking…" Ronnie says. He walked to Oichi and looked at Elijah. "Grandpa…" Ronnie smiles at her. "You did a great job Oichi. You have made me proud." Oichi smiled. Ronnie looked around the table.
"While I have you all in here and before I be forced back into bed. There is something I'd like to share. Everyone had their secrets, and everyone had reason's those secrets. I have many that I am not supposed to share and even take to my grave however, with the certain events happenings I cannot keep some of them covered. This is one of them. Back before Valeriea turned dark she and Mephisto had a child." Oichi eyes widen. "A child?" Jess's eyes widen "A Child?..." Zach looked surprised. Seth frowned.
"Yes but unfortunately he told her that their child died. The truth was that he feared what the child would become and took the child to hell, to Lucifer. He had the child sealed for a few years and after Valeriea was considered gone and Kingdom grew he came to me asking for a favor. The child was growing strong she was slowly draining the demonic seal and he couldn't keep her in hell. He constructed a lab under the palace and made a new device that would keep her powers sealed and lock, she has been kept in a deep sleep ever since. With demon blood running though her veins her aging has drastically slowed." Jess frowned at this, Zach sighs "I see"
He motions someone to come in. The door widens, and Jackal pulled in a large cylinder container. Inside was a beautiful young woman floating in dark red water. She had long black hair and pale skin. She looked very peaceful as she floated. "This is the daughter of the witch Valeriea and the former demon general Mephisto. Lucifer named her Lorelei." Oichi clinging slightly on to Yain. Even while sleep just looking at felt like she was looking at Valeriea. Jess felt this also and held onto Zach's arm, Zach felt it and he was frowning at the container
Ronnie walked over to Elijah. "While you were snooping around you were trying to release her weren't wasn't you.?" Elijah looked down. "If that girl is ever released then the world would be in even more danger. Do you really think that is a war you want? She will kill anyone and everyone with a second thought and you tried to unleash it on my people!?" He grabbed Elijah. "Usually I would kill you for betraying me and my family along with all the power you swore to protect. Until I figure out what to do with you…" "Take him away to the cells." The guard nodded and grabbed Elijah, Pulling him along.
Ronnie looked at everyone else. "Valeriea isn't stupid. She knows her daughter is alive somewhere. Mephisto still believes she is down in hell and hopefully he will never tell her. I wanted to share this with you against Lucifer's wishes. Valeriea is dangerous threat that keeps growing everyday. She may or may not notice it but more are getting called to her side, many are believing that the treaties are coming to end and most like Elijah are ready to jump into another war." Oichi looked down. "Another war…is not needed." Ronnie rubs her head. "It will not happen. We just need to work a bit harder to find Valeriea now more then ever. More so. Good job with handling things while I was gone. I'm sorry I put you through a lot of stress." He turned to Jackal. "Return the girl to the lab." Jackal nodded.
As soon as Jackal left, Oichi felt her knees give out and her eyes went black as she passed out. Yain caught her before hitting the ground. Jess gasped "Oichi!" she rushed to her.
Ronnie frowns. "she must be like Faye. Extreme Exhaustion…I've made you two carry a large burden. I'll have to make it up to you both. Take her to her room." Yain nodded as he picked Oichi up. He looked up to see Sakamoto rushing downing down the balcony stairs out the back. Ronnie sighs. "This meeting is concluded. There shall be no war between us Seth. All names have been cleared. I hold no grudges." He held out a hand. Seth nodded and shook it. "I also hold no grudges." Zach chuckled "Awesome! Still friends! I think Regina as be very happy with you two, knowing her boys wont be killing each other" he smiled at them.
Both Seth and Ronnie rolled their eyes at Zach. "You've been a sleep for a while my friend. Let's share a drink?" Seth says walking to Ronnie. "Yes, I'd like one." Ronnie says nodding.
Months passed it was June first on a Saturday, it was 9 nine days before school ended and summer comes. Jess was upstairs in her room, she was wearing a Heather Charcoal Floral Scandinavian Fox Maternity Tank, Light Wash Under-Belly Denim Maternity Bermuda Shorts and Women Flats Slip-On Fashion Flats. Going through the closet, she was trying not to cry from Rick's being up in boxes. Kaci was down stairs with Ross filling her fridge with fresh blood backs.
Kaci smiled "Thank you for doing this for her" he said unpacking some from the cooler than putting them in the Jess's new medical Automatic Large Storage Blood Bank LCD Display Platelet Incubator that aurora gave her.
"Its whatever, I had nothing better to do today." He says. Kaci chuckled "so you excited for Takara's birthday?" he asked putting more in the Incubator. "I suppose. She's starting to cling to me so I very well cant show up empty handed." Ross says shaking his head.
Back upstairs, Jess sniffed and went through Rick's school backpack. Then something caught her eye, she blinked and took it out. It was Rick's leather brown journal, Jess smiles softly remember rick always noted in it. Opening it, she can tell by flipping through the pages that he wrote it all down in Grivadan, the ancient delict, which she was rusty at. She new modern Grivadan but not so well in ancient. Sighing she flipped trough it more and more until she came to the first last page. Her eyes scanned it and then her eyes widen, there baby names. The date that was dated on was the day before he died. Jess scanned the names but one was circled and with a heart next to it, 'Aerith' Jess smiled "Oh Rick…" she started to cry holding the journal to her chest.
Downstairs, Kaci closed the Incubator. Then he started to hear crying, Kaci's eyes widen "Jess!" he rushed with his vampire speed, Ross raised his eyebrow and followed after him. Kaci reach the bedroom to see Jess on the floor next to the closet crying holding something to her chest, he rushed to her "Jess you alright?!" he knelled. Jess sniffed and smiled "Yes of course, I'm sorry to make you worry… I just found Rick's journal… and look the last page.. was dated the day before he dead…" Kaci blinked and looked it to see boys and girls names and one circled. Ross leaned on the door frame.
"Where you two planning to get pregnant?" Kaci asked her, Jess nodded "Yes… I will name her Aerith, Rick circled it so he loved the name" Kaci smiled "Naming her after a character from Final Fantasy 7" Jess chuckled "I know, that was his favorite Final Fantasy game.." Kaci chuckled.
Kaci helped her up "do you still need a ride to the hospital? You have your ultrasound today before the party" Jess smiled "I'll be fine, thanks for helping me with the blood packs" Kaci chuckled anytime, Ross stepped in "Just don't make Kaci worry so much" he rubbed Jess's tummy, then he blinked he felt a small Kick. Jess eyes widen "she just kicked…" "Well how about that." Ross says.
Kaci gasped "She did! I wanna feel" Kaci moved Ross's hand out of the way and placed his on her tummy. Kaci blinked waiting but pouted has nothing came "She's not kicking…. For me.." Jess cued at him "Awww Kaci she will" Kaci pouted and looked at Ross "you felt her first kick… no fair!" "Tough luck." Ross says shrugging with a smug smirk on his face.
Jess chuckled "Go on you two, I'll be alright." Kaci smiled and kissed her cheek "see you later at Takara's party" he said taking Ross's hand leaving with him.
At Ravenswood's cemetery, Oichi, Sakamoto, and Takara were walking down a new path to a new section of the cemetery. It was a private section that Seth had manage to buy out and recreate. He had Tate's and his parents body buried in the back where only certain people could come visit.
Oichi was wearing a black and yellow floral printed dress with beautiful yellow floral designs, a cowl neckline, spaghetti straps a retrospect hem at the bottom of the dress. Her hair had been cut up to her back. Beside her Sakamoto was wearing a yellow and black striped shirt with black pants and shoes. Walking in front of them taking cute hop steps was Takara wearing a yellow and white zig zag design dress with a bee on it and black shoes. The theme of her party was of course bumble bees.
They walked down the new path and turned left to the new section. There was a arch at the leading entrance where the graves were and one guard there just in case. The guard bows to them as the walked in. The section looked more like a garden out of a fairy tail book and the tress and flowers looked similar to Makoto's grave site. They finally reached Tates new grave. There were two benches on the side of the grave were they could sit at.
Oichi had a rose in her hand. "Happy Birthday Tate. I know we didn't know each other very well but I treasure the time we spent together. Thank you for loving Makoto and thank you for leaving behind a wonderful treasure." She looked down at Takara who was looking at the grave. Oichi bends down and places the flower on Tates grave. Takara looked up on the grave stone. Her red eyes sparkled slightly as she started waving. Sakamoto raised his eyebrow and looked at the grave stone but saw nothing.
Takara giggled and placed her hands over her mouth. She only did that when one of them told her to use her inside voice. Sakamoto looked confused but shook his head. "Ichi, we should go ahead to Makoto's grave. Don't want the birthday girl to be late to her own party." He picks up Takara. Oichi wiped a tear from her eye. "Yeah." Sakamoto grabbed her hand and they walked away. Takara looked over Sakamoto's shoulder and smiled. "Bye bye…" She says waving
Not long Jess was sitting in the waiting room in women's Imaging. Sighing she took out her bottle thirst and took a sip of some blood. Couple of women were looking at her, Jess raised her eyebrow at them but looked away. She can hear their whispers, "So is she the one?" "Yeah, the witch that's pregnant with a vampire baby…" "I heard that thing sucks her blood so she had to drink blood from dying" "being pregnant by a vampire.. and she's just a teenager, teens these days don't know how to close their legs. I bet she opens them up a lot"
Jess bites her lip, the door opened and nurse came out "Jessica?" Jess smiled "finally" she got up and walked over and walking in the back, the nurse weighed Jess "Good you gained, very much" the nurse said, Jess chuckled. "Follow me to the Ultrasound room" jess nodded and followed her, reaching the room. they walked in and was a very nice room, Jess having a seat. The nurse did the normal vital check, blood pressure and oxygen levels. The nurse finishing, she smiled "Everything normal, Doctor Aurora will right with you" she said getting up and leaving. Jess sighed sitting there, not long Aurora walked in "Jess! How are you?" Jess smiled "Very good" Aurora chuckled and walked over "Alright! Lay down, lift your shirt up and lets see the little lady shell we?"
Jess smiled and laid down lifting up her shirt, Aurora putting the warm gel on her tummy and with wand in hand, Aurora held the wand on her tummy. Aurora and Jess right away saw Aerith, Jess chuckled "There she is"
Aurora smiled "20 weeks, 5 months. Your little lady weighs about 10 ounces and has a height, crown to rump, of about six-and-a-half inches. While she is definitely getting bigger, there's still plenty of growing room in there, which allows her to twist and turn, allows you to feel his acrobatics. Skin care is especially important during this time and stretch marks start to appear as your belly rapidly grows. Consider moisturizing your belly as well as the legs, lower back, breasts and thighs with vitamin E to reduce the visibility of stretch marks. I have some special lotion I created" Jess smiled "Awesome" "Know you want pictures?" Aurora asked, Jess smiled "yes, 5 would do" Aurora chuckled.
Reaching Seth's manor, Seth was holding Takara who was snuggling into his arms. "You've come to see Makoto?" Sakamoto nodded. "It is the one year anniversary of her death as well…we already visited Tate…" Seth sighs and walks to his desk. He pulls out Makoto's crystal and handed it to Sakamoto. "Only for a bit alright?" "Thank you grandfather."
Oichi and Sakamoto took Takara out to the back yard. Sakamoto held up the crystal and the path to Makoto's grave opened. They headed inside. Takara was in Oichi's arms, looking around. She spotted a bumble bee. "Mama! Bee!" She says smiling. Oichi chuckled. "Yes sweetie. I see it. It's cute just like you." She snuggled Takara making her laugh. Sakamoto chuckled.
Soon they came to the field. They could see the transparent coffin with Makoto in it. They walked up and Oichi just couldn't help but to tear up. "Okay Makoto…I wish you were here so you can see your little girl grow up…" She sniffs. Takara looked up at Oichi and frowned. "No! No mama!" She hugged Oichi and tears up to. Sakamoto smiles and rubs Oichi's back. "She's okay Takara." Takara looked at him with teary eyes. He took her from Oichi and put her down on the ground. "Don't wonder off okay?" Takara nodded. Sakamoto took a crying Oichi and led her back a few feet.
Takara looked up. She couldn't see Makoto's face only a slight side view up her. She looked back at Oichi and Sakamoto and then pouted. She was about to hop over there when she felt something poking her cheek. She blinks and looks around. "Mama?" She says in a whisper. She felt another poke on her cheek. She whimpered and started to tear up. "Mama…!" She says louder. She then felt something poke her tummy. Her eyes widen and she started crying. "MAMA!" She yelled out. It startled Oichi and Sakamoto as they rushed to her.
Oichi picked her up as she cried. "There, there sweetie. Don't cry. It's okay." She says bouncing her. Takara shivered in her arms. "Something spooked her. She shaking…" Oichi says frowning. Sakamoto looked around and then looked down at Makoto. She had a peaceful look on her face. Remembering what happened moments ago at Tate's grave he frowned. 'I swear she better not be…'
Oichi finally calmed Takara down. "I guess we should go…I wonder why she freaked out so bad." She says rubbing Takara's back. "I might have an idea…" Sakamoto says in a mumble. He sighs. "Even in death she can be a pain in my ass…" He then smiles and rubs Takara's head. "Its okay. Come on let's to your party. It cant start without the queen bee."
They turned around and headed back. Takara sniffed as she looked at the grave. A soft gust of wind blew by. Takara blinks and then starts waving. "Bye bye…" She says.
Aurora walked Jess out of the back "Also your due date is in October" Jess smiled "Really? Wow same month has me" Aurora chuckled, out of the back Jess see's her mother in Wine Red Criss Cross Cami Top, Gothic High Waist Zip Up Shorts and black sandals, her black shoulder purse was over her left shoulder.
Jess smiled "Mom!" Dawn chuckled "Hey hunny how did it go ?" Jess giggled "Good! 20 weeks, she's growing good and I'm gonna name her Aerith…" Aurora and Dawn blinked at her "Aerith?" they asked, Jess nodded "her name was circled in Rick's journal… we planned for this so he of course thought of names…" Dawn smiled at her "I know you took that reversal spell form your uncle" Jess frowned "You did?" Aurora chuckled "Aerith, what a beautiful name! it means, Earth" Jess smiled.
Aurora chuckled "Come on dear we have to get ready for Takara's birthday party which will be starting soon" Jess nodded "Bye Aurora" she said has her and Dawn left.
At Rivers, Terry was sitting in the family room waiting for River. Robin was playing with her tea set, she stepped over to Terry handing him a tea cup "Tea!" Terry smiled and took it. "Thank you. It smells really good." Since the party was bumblebee theme Ty had talked Terry into wearing a yellow graphic Tee with black pants and match shoes.

Rania shook her head at her son "Haru that was very rude' Robin pouted "MEAN!"
Outside the apartment complex where Oichi and Sakamoto stayed. Paxton was in charge of setting up the decorations. Everything was bee theme. The cupcakes and cake Faye had made were bee shaped. Along with bee shaped sugar cookies, patterned tableware, the giant balloons, the plastic wear and banners. Over in on the outdoor patio, Ronnie was sitting down sipping on a drink. Faye was next to him as she finished wrapping gifts. Lily was over by the second patio getting the food together. Ronnie was banned by Faye from moving to much. He sighs out. "At least let me help wrap gifts." "No, stay there and rest." "I've been resting for months woman. Let me do…" Faye smacked him in the back of the head. "What did I just say?" Ronnie sighs out. "To rest…"

She had the baby bag over her shoulder. "Hello party people!" She says looking around. "Hey…I don't see the birthday girl here!" Paxton walks up. "Oichi texted me and said they were on the way. They were visiting Tate and Makoto's grave today." Danni hums out. "Alright. I'll let it slide." She sniffs. "Mmmm Ms. Lily must be coming today! She scurries off with Frank behind her. Joseph walks out yawning as he trails along behind them.
Darcaniea walking into the underground lab "Noah, how's the heart growing?" Noah looked up at her "Good Mistress Darcaniea! It's full strong!" Darcaniea grinned "Good, in 4 months is when we use the heart to unlock the chest" Noah nodded "Why wait 4 months?" he asked her, Darcaniea narrowed at him "Because my doppelganger is pregnant, you can say it's her out of danger free card from me trying to kill her" she said walking away.
Noah sighs "That child growing in her" Darcaniea stopped "It's the first of its kind, half vampire, half witch…. She would such prize, I would love to have" he didn't get to finish when Darcaniea had him by the throat "You will not touch that child, I may be a dark witch but children will not be harmed, do I make myself clear?!" she said Noah gargled "Y-yes…!"

Minutes went by before Paxton got a text. "There here." He says. The door opened and Oichi walked out and then Sakamoto. Takara was sitting on his shoulders with her hands in his hair. Her eyes widen when she saw everyone and mostly all the bee decorations. "BEEEEEEE! She yelled clapping her hands. Sakamoto chuckled. "Down Da!" She says patting his head.

I'm only spoiling her so shed like me better then you and as you can see its working." Ross says laughing as Takara hugged his face. Sakamoto rolled his eyes. "Uh huh…" Oichi chuckled. "She's such a friendly baby."
Jess smiled "Takara, wanna feel the baby?" she rubbed her tummy, Sakamoto frowned slightly "Is it alright for to even touch your tummy?" Jess pouted at him "Yes! I had my fill of blood today she it's safe"
Takara pouted as she hugged Ross's face harder. "Takara…you don't want to feel the baby? Ross's face will still be there when you get back." Oichi asked. Takara puffed her cheeks out more. Sakamoto crossed her arms. "She might still be a bit freaked from the cemetery. Doesn't want to touch something she cant fully see?" Oichi frowned as she watched Takara nuzzle her face in Ross's hair. Oichi looked back at Jess. "Maybe she's up to feel the baby a bit later when she gets settle into the party a bit more." Jess frowned "She doesn't even like me anymore…"
Dawn frowned "Jess that's not true, she loves her aunty Jess" Tears started to come down her face "No hates me! She's never happy to see me anymore…." Kaci held her "Jess don't think that…" River sighs with a smile "there she goes, pregnancy hormones" Ross rolls his eyes slightly as he takes Takara to the other kids at the playground. Oichi shakes her head and smiles as she rubs Jess back. "Your so silly. Takara is only a baby. When have you ever seen her hate something or someone. She's a little spooked by something right now so just be patient and she'll come around eventually." Jess sniffed "I'm sorry…." River chuckled "hormones Jess, your pregnant it's an excuse when you just start to cry and over react" Jess put her head down.
Dawn shook her head "She understand Oichi, let her calm down and she will be smiling and giggling" Kaci nodded "Yup!" "Yes, I know." Oichi says. She hugs Jess slightly before walking off to the kids. Jess smiled, Dawn chuckled "See back at smiling" she said getting up with Rosalina.
At the playground Ross watched as Takara and Ari play with a bumblebee soccer ball. Eric was leaning back as Ty, Marie, and Sai played on the monkey bars. Oichi was setting up the kids table for when it was time to eat. Faye was now holding Zane. "Oh you are just the cutest! So cute! I could snuggle you all darn day!" She says cuddling Zane. Ronnie was leaning back with his eyes closed when Danni came back with drinks. She made tequila sunrise.
Seth, who was just arriving with his family walked over. He took a seat in front of Ronnie. "Greetings everyone." Hayate and Rune went to the bar. "How does it feel to be a one armed wolf?" Seth asked picking up a glass. "Not as bad as I thought it would be." He says also picking up a glass. They clinked them together and both took a sip at the same time. Faye smiles at them as she played with Zane's tiny fingers.
Dawn walked over to the playground and played Rose into a baby swing, Rose giggling "You ready sweetie?" Rose giggled "Mama!" Dawn chuckled and pushed her slightly, Rose's eyes widen and then she screamed which made everyone jump, Dawn chuckled "Don't worry it's just excited scream" as she said that Rosalina said giggling, Dawn pushed her more.
Ross walked over to Ari and Takara and sat down in front of them. Ari passed the ball to Takara a little to fast that it knocked her down. Ari eyes widen. Ross watched as Takara sat back up and started laughing. "More! More!" She power walked over to get the ball. Ari looked down and sniffed. "I'm mean…" She says softly in a whisper. Ross chuckled and places a hand on her hand. Ari looked up at him. "Your not mean snowball. See look." Takara came back with the ball with sparkles in her eyes. "More! More!" "See she looks happy to me right." Ari smiled and nodded. Takara giggled rolling the ball and the girls go back to playing. Paxton, Sakamoto, and Sonya were by the presents watching. "Ah, the soft side of him a rare trait indeed." Sakamoto nodded. Sonya chuckled. "You think? Hes always looks so bored at school." Paxton shrugs. "Hey even demons know love even if there to stupid to realize it." Kaci chuckled "I see it all the time!" Kaci chimes.
Ty slid down the slide and made it to the ground. He brushed himself off. Marie smiled getting to the top of the slide. She accidentally slips and rolls down it. "Ahh!" Ty eyes widen as he gets in front of the slide. Marie ended up colliding into him, making them both rolled on to the grass. On the final flip, Marie landed on top of Ty, bumping heads slightly. "Ow…"
Marie sits up rubbing her head. "My head…" "Mar…get off me…" Marie looked down and blushed to see she was sitting on Ty's stomach. Ross, who had saw what happened was already rushing over. "Hey! Get your hands off my sister!" Paxton rolled his eyes. "Well…looks like his soft side disappeared quickly." Terry walked over chuckling. "You two okay?" Ross picked Marie up. "The question should be if Marie is okay!?" He says looking her over. Marie blushed more. "Stop being a doting brother!" She says pushing his hands away. "I'm okay really…Ty made sure that he took the main fall…"
Terry was helping Ty up. "Ow…I thought I was gonna die…" Terry laughs. "But you helped cute little Marie out. It's the price we handsome guys make." Ross pouted as Marie kept pushing his hands away. "Stop it! You fat head!" Marie finally says. She quickly rushed to Ty and grabbed his head pulling him away. Ross growled and then sigh. "My cute sister is growing up without me. It felt like yesterday when she said she only loved me…" He then pouts. "First I lost my dark princess Oichi. Then I lose my angel demon Paxton. I'm now losing my annoying adorable looking sister. What has the world come to!" He says falling on his back. Terry chuckled. "Dramatic much." Kaci with his speed snugging into his side "you will never lose me Ross, You still have me love" he kissed Ross's cheek" River chuckled "Awww how cute"
Ross sighs, "I suppose that would do…I hate losing all of them but I guess I'll be fine with just you." Kaci smiled and licked his neck "Later I would like a snack"
Silver walked over to Oichi, who had finish setting the table. "Oichi?" "Yes?" Oichi says. "Thanks…for you know…" He scratched his head. "I'm sorry for what I said back at grandfathers manor. We're going to be family soon and I didn't want anything bad happening between us." Oichi smiles. "Thank you Silver but, I could never stay mad at you. Emotions were running high and everything. We cleared everything up eventually so all is well right?" Silver smiled back and nodded. "Yeah." Lucien walked over. "Thanks Oichi. It's to bad you fell for Saki. I'd definitely could take of you." He says smirking. Oichi blushed slightly. "Thanks…I think…? Silver nudged him. "Don't mind him. He's just jokin." Lucien shrugs. Oichi shook her head. "Go gather the kids so they can eat."
Once the kids were gather, Lily served them a choice of burgers between decorated bee buns or a hotdogs with bee wings. Their sweets were on the table and would be severed during the gift opening. For the adults she served grilled chicken on the side. There were many finger dishes as well. The kids were now sitting at the kids table eating and talking away.
Oichi was sitting at one of the tables they sat up next to the kids table. Out of Takara's eyes sight she was finishing some last minute wrapping. Sakamoto was beside her eating. Paxton and Sonya were on the other side of them. Sonya bite into some mystery pie Lily made. She hums out. "Oh wow! It takes like strawberry no…blue berry! Ah no…I cant get the taste." Oichi chuckles. "No one knows the secret of grandma Lily's pie. Even the scent makes you confused. I thought it smelled like bananas but it had this super sweet taste to it like mango." Paxton bit into Sonya's pie making her giggle. "…I taste…cherries?" Oichi shrugs. "The world will never know haha."
they heard flapping of wings then Dustin dropping down, he was wearing blush pink "Discover Paradise" - T Shirt, men's skinny jeans and converse and his white wings still where out, he walk over. He had a yellow and strip gift bag in his hand "Sorry I'm late!" Jess smiled "Dustin! Love the shirt" Kaci chuckled "About time, I was hopping you forgot my text to go to the school to pick up the present" Dustin shook his head then see's Joseph, he steps over putting his wings away and sits down next to him and looked at Takara "Happy birthday! You a big girl know?"
Takara was chewing on her cut up hot dog. She looked at Dustin then she looked at Joseph. She then threw a chopped hot dog at Dustin. "No!" Joseph caught the piece before it hit Dustin. "No throwing food Takara." Takara giggled as she went back to eating. Dustin shook his head, Jess chuckled and eat her food. Dawn had some baby food out and started to feed Rose, Banana and berries.
When everyone finished eating it was cake time. Takara was in a little booster seat. She had a half eaten cake pop in her hand as everyone gathered around the table. Faye brought the personal cake over and Lily brought the bigger cake. They both were shaped like a bumble bee with her name in yellow icing and the number one on it. Oichi was behind her with a camera on. She looked around. "Where is Saki?" Everyone looked around until they heard a door open. Sakamoto walked out with a small bag. "What's in the bag?" Oichi asked. "Its nothing. Sorry for being late go ahead and lite the candle. Faye lit the personal cake in front of her Takara.
Takara's eyes widen as she looked at dancing flame. "Oooooo!" Oichi chuckled at her fascination. They sung happy birthday to her and Oichi helped Takara blow candle out. Everyone clapped and just as Oichi removed the candle. Takara raised her tiny fists and slammed then down into the cake hitting and splattering everywhere with a delighted laughed. Oichi's eyes widen as she threw cake in her face. Ross and Terry busted into laughter as Danni started snapping pictures. "Ahaha! Covered in cake! The both of you are to cute!" Jess giggled and took pictures "AWW!" Dawn chucked bouncing Rose. River chuckled "Cute!" Kaci and Dustin chuckled.
Sakamoto had taken a step back and started to chuckle. "Makoto destroyed her cake the same way at her party. It's only natural for her daughter to follow in her footsteps. Oichi pouted as cake slid down her cheeks. Takara was covered in cake laughing. She put a put a piece in her mouth and hums. "At least she likes the cake…" Oichi says sighing. Frank chuckled "Oichi we have some baby wipes if you wanna use some to clean her up"
Sakamoto held up a bag. "I got you both clothes." Oichi pouted. "Your so evil not to even warm me…" She picked up Takara, covered in her own cake. She was laughing as he clapped her hands. "Fun! More! Bee bee!" Oichi grabbed the bag from Sakamoto's hand. "You guys enjoy the cake. We will be right back." She says walking in the building to do a quick clean up. Jess chuckled "So cute!" Dawn smirked "Soon you will start doing that" River, Dustin and Kaci chuckled at her flushed face.
When they came back and everyone got their cake. It was time to open gifts. Oichi and Takara were in changed clothes. They were sitting in the patio. Everyone circled around to watch. From Ronnie, Faye, and Lily, she got a new bumble bumper car and a rocking bee swing set. From Danni and Frank she got clothes, shoes, and other items. From Paxton and Sonya she got toy blocks, coloring books, and picture books.
From Jess, she got VTech Touch & Learn Musical Bee. From Dawn was a bee throw blanket, from Dustin and Kaci was a white pillow with a bumblebee with Takara's name on it. From River, was something special, it was a bee blush charmed to fly around her and sleep when she sleeps. River active and has it flew in front of Takara's face, Jess gasped "Wow River, that is so cool!" River chuckled "It 's like a familiar, it will protect her"
Ross brought his gift down and smirks at Oichi. "My gift to our little bee queen." Oichi rolls her eyes slightly as Ross opens it. He then pulls out a huge bumblebee bean bag chair. Takara eyes widen and screamed out in happiness. "Beee! Yay!" Slipping from Oichi she actually ran to it and buries her face in the chair giggling. Ross chuckled "seems like she loves my gift a lot huh."
Oichi was silent and over to the second patio. Sakamoto chuckled. "Big mistake trying to out spoil Oichi." Ross raised an eyebrow. "Oh and why is that?" They turned to see Oichi dragging a cart with something tall and large on it covered by a cloth. She wheeled the cart around the patio and stopped. Smirking at Ross she pulled cloth off to reveal two black tall containers filled to the bream with handmade bee stuffed animals. Ross eyes widen. "No way." Jess gasped "Wow Oichi!" River chuckled "Nice try Ross" Dustin and Kaci chuckled "Your boyfriend lost" Dustin said, Kaci narrowed at him. Dawn smiled "Oichi thoughs are so cute!"
"Takara sweetie." Takara lifted her up and walked. Again her eyes widen and she ran Oichi. "MAMA! MINE!" She jumped up and down in excitement. Oichi giggled. "Yup all yours." She open the container and the stuff animals feel around Takara. She laughed and screamed and giggled as she grabbed as many as she could cuddling them. Oichi looked at Ross. "You were saying" Ross pouted. "Drat…I'll get her next year." Jess raised his eyebrow "I don't think you will ever out spoil Oichi Ross" Dustin, River and Dawn chuckled. Kaci shook his head "You tried you best love"
As the party came to an end, Takara had a full belly and was sleeping in her new decorated room that Seth had given her. All her gifts were placed in the room, even the thousands of stuff animals Oichi made. Everyone started heading home.
Marie and Sonya were in the kitchen eating left over food from the party. Paxton was on the couch watching a movie. Kaci was snuggled up to Ross on the couch. He looked up at Ross and frowned to see him looking a bit out of it. He also could feel him getting hotter. Placing a hand on Ross's head he looked at Paxton. "Ross feels a little hot…" Paxton looks over at him and then Ross.
Ross blinked and then moved Kaci's hand away. He then pushed him away slightly roughly. "Sorry I have to take a piss…" He says getting up and going to his room. Kaci rubbed his arm, he could tell something was wrong with Ross.
An hour go by and Ross was in his room. Kaci was by the door with a worried look on his face. He knocked on the door. "Ross? Are you okay?" He didn't get a response. Worry started to fill his chest as he opened the door and walked in. Looking around he went to the side where the bathroom was. He could faintly smell something was burning. Going to the bathroom his eyes widen to see Ross on the floor passed out barely breathing. The bathroom was starting to feel like a sauna and the floor underneath Ross was burning a bit around his body. "Ross!?" Kaci took a step in the bathroom but the heat in there alone was making it hard for him. He was already sweating heavily. He reached out to touch Ross. Touching his shoulder his hisses out as his hand was burned.
He bit his lip and tried to grab Ross again but he was suddenly pulled back by Paxton. "Stop. You can't touch him." Kaci frowned. "What's going on!? What's wrong with Ross!?" Paxton didn't answer as he walked into the bathroom. Kaci watched as Paxton gently turned Ross over. He didn't get burned like Kaci did. Paxton gently ran his fingers through Ross hair and then caressed his cheeks. He then placed a hand on Ross's chest. A soft expression was on Paxton's face. Kaci bites his lip 'what the fuck…..?'
Marie walked passed Kaci and frowned. "It hasn't been ten years yet…why is brother dying?" Kaci's eyes widen "D-Dying…?!"
Marie looked up and him and frowned. "You didn't know?" Paxton sighs. "Technically I did explain in that health class that Ross needed a new body every now and then. His powers are to great to be sealed in a human body. It's just not supposed to happen this quick." Kaci frowned "But… why didn't he let me know…?"
Marie walked passed Kaci and went to Ross. She held his hand not affected by the heart. She started to absorb some of his heart. "If brother stays in this body to long the body will start to burn from the inside out. Because of his intense heat not many can get near him like this to help." Marie says. She looks at Kaci. "If his body dies, he will be forced to go back to home until a proper body is found." Kaci looked down with tears in his eyes "I don't wanna see him suffer…. Please… take him back to hell"
A hand reached up and pat Marie's head. Ross opened one eye. "Don't be telling my secrets so willingly. Brat." Marie frowned. "Don't be selfish. I'm calling papa." Ross sat up. "Lend me a shoulder Pax." Paxton nodded helping him up. Ross's face was slightly pale. He looked at Kaci. "Ha...like I'd go back to hell right now. I'll be fine. This body will last longer than any of you realize." Paxton frowned. "If you wait too long the process will take longer…" "A body hasn't been found for me yet anyways. If I go back then I'll be stuck in hell for who knows how long. I'd never be able to come back here unless I'm in a fresh body. So until one is found I am not going anywhere…" Kaci frowned at him "Ross go, I don't wanna see you like this…"
Marie sighs and let's his hand go. "Stupid brother. I absorbed your heat for now. I guess I'll help you until a body is found. Just don't go pushing yourself." She points at Kaci. "No more doing the S word! Ross body is weak now so cut it down to once a week and no more!" Kaci sighs with a heavy frown "yes I know Marie…"
She points at Ross. "Cut your bad habits out to. If you so much as do anything more then what you need to I'll drag you back home myself!" She pouted and stormed out the bathroom. Ross's rolled his eyes. "Sounds like her freaking mom." Kaci stood there with a frown at Ross and Paxton.
"Help me to the bed Paxton. I need a huge favor." Paxton sighs as she helps Ross to the bed. "You do know your in debt with these favors." He sat Ross down on the bed. "Yea. Yes." Paxton shook his head he held out his hand. In it was one of his white wings. "Its only temporary. Don't take it off." Ross grabbed it. "I know jeez. Now your starting to start like my father." "Just take it easy." Paxton flicks Ross's forehead. Then chuckled. "Stop making us worry about you. Now I gotta go calm Marie down." He walked out the room closing the door. Kaci bites his lip feeling usless.
Kaci watched Ross closes Paxton's wing with both his hands. He squeezed it slightly and a dark light surrounded his hands. When he opened it the feather had turned into a black jewel wing connected to a black bead and a chain connecting it. Ross put it around his neck and it disappeared from sight. He sighs out as his color returned and his heat died down. "Much better…" Kaci stepped to him "Why didn't you tell me…?" "I had my reasons…its not a touchy subject I can just come out and say it given the time frame." Ross says.
Kaci bites his lip "you should have told me or I wouldn't been this fucken scared! For fuck sake hearing Marie say your dying made me have a inner panic! I just lost my cousin, I don't want to lose you too, you should have told me!" Kaci snapped climbing over him smacking his chest slightly "Jerk!" he started to tear "I love you Ross! I'm your boyfriend and family, you should have let me know and not let me think your were gonna fucken die on me!" he snapped with tears down his cheeks. "And... to see Paxton... be able to touch you when I couldn't..."
Ross rubs his back. "Marie is overeating with her words. I'm not dying. This body is. It's the only thing keeping me up here. I'm perfectly fine. Once I find another body I'll be okay. If I leave now then you'll be alone for days, months, even years, decades even. Finding a compatible body for me isn't easy. I can't just leave you alone by yourself or do you want that?" Kaci sniffed "No…"
Ross rubs his head. "As for me and Paxton…well you clearly know how we were before. It's always been just me and him before this lifetime at least. It sucks for me to say this and I don't mean this to hurt your feelings. At the end of the day your still mine and I'm still yours and I'd kill anyone who would bring you harm. Paxton is different. Our bond is more unique then anything I've ever had and it's something I can't break. There are just some things that Paxton would be able to do that you can't." He kissed Kaci on the cheek. "However, we both know boundaries. He knows I have you and I know he has Sonya and that's how it will be. We don't go overlap relationships and never try to sabotage it. You cherish your family dearly more then anyone I've seen really. So yes I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about my body and I'm sorry that you feel a bit uncomfortable about me and Paxton's relationship but trust me when I say this. The one thing I hate most in the world in the entire damn universe even, is being betrayed. I would never betrayed the love you have for me okay. Never. Remember that." Kaci sniffed and kissed him "I love you… Just promise me… when you find a body let me know please an if you can't wait that long, let me know… I may be lonely when you go but I'll be here waiting for you, I'll properly go to Jess's and help her out"
Ross smiled at him "I know and I love you too"

Reaching the end of the stairs she turned and walk through the living room, Aii in her little fox forum was sleeping on the couch curled up. Jess smiled and walked over to her blood incubator fridge. Opening it, she took out a bag of 0- blood, walking over to the cabinet she opened and took out her cup. Opening the bag she poured the blood in the cup carefully. Once she was done, she put the empty blood pack in the medical disposal red bin.

It's midnight what do you want?" Damien frowned "can I come in please…?"
Jess sighed and stepped aside letting him, he walked passed her has she closed the door and clocking it up. Jess walked to the stairs "Follow me, don't wake up Aii or she will kick you out… she's not found of Demons… and remove your shoes" Damien frowned "I'm only half…" he said taking off his shoes and then following her up the stairs.
Stepping in Jess's room, Damien see's on the bed a Gray Star U-Shape Maternity Body Pillow. Jess walked over to the left side and sit down "So why are you here?" Damien laid down on the bed "Just lonely…" Jess turned around sipping her cup "Lonely…? Why?" Damien sighed "I've been in and out of the underworld, missing a lot of things… I just wanna stay here with you…" Jess flushed "Damien… I just lost Rick…. It's too soon…" Damien turned on his side facing her "I know… please let me here for you… don't push me away…?" Jess looked at him and had a soft look, sipping her more of her cup. She put the cup on the end table putting a fresh spell on it. Laying down cuddling up with her pregnancy pillow "alright, I wont"
Damien smiled and stood has he took of his pants making her eyes widen with a blush on her cheeks "What you doing?"

Damien nodded laying back down putting the blanket over them, snapping his fingers, the lights turned off in the room, Jess closed her eyes "alright" Damien smiled and reached out touching Jess's stomach "how's the little lady doing?" Jess smiled with a relaxing breath "good, naming her Aerith… Rick liked that name" Damien smiled "I heard" then he can hear Jess breathing softly, she fell asleep. Damien chuckled softly and leaned more to her putting his arm above her and his left hand still on her tummy, kissed her forehead has she moved clover with her pillow into him. Damien closed his eyes falling asleep next to Jess.

"So he's body is dying?" Dustin asked, Kaci nodded "Yeah…" Dustin's sighs "I'm surprised you didn't pay attention during health class when Paxton said that… and don't be jealous over him… the guy has a girlfriend" Kaci pouted "Do you think Damien moved in here…?" he bites his lip feeing upset, Dustin shook his head then sighed "I don't know Kaci"
Downstairs, Jess in a white maternity shirt and Burgundy Over-Belly Five-Pocket Maternity Skinny Jeans. Ross was next to her, Damien in the kitchen fixing Jess something to eat.
Jess had her shirt over her tummy has Ross was putting Aurora's handmade belly lotion on her tummy, she smiled "Thank you" Ross chuckled "No problem, can you even get stretch marks?" Jess blinked "I don't know but Aurora want's to make sure my tummy doesn't get to dry where it becomes itchy" "how's the feeding her blood going?" he asked "Good, she hasn't taken any one aura's or made me pass out" Aii jumped up and crawled over to her, Jess smiled rubbing behind her ears making her do a fox purr.
Damien walked over with a bowl of fresh fruit. Jess licked her lips "Mhmmm! Give me!" Damien chuckled and handed it to her, she right away took it and started to eat. Damien sat down next to her, and looked at Ross "I think that's enough lotion…" Rose raised his eyebrow at him "you think so?" Damien nodded "don't think you will out spoil Oichi on Aerith when she is turns one" Jess just sat there eating her fruit.
Ross shook his head and stopped "You are all finish Jess" Jess smiled at him "Thank you Ross" Ross smiled at her "No problem" he said putting her shirt over her tummy.

Damien nodded "Yup" Dustin chuckled "Thank you! At least I got a good birthday kiss from my brother! Bye!" he ran out of the apartment, Jess and Damien looked at Ross with a frown on his face. Jess shook her head "don't think of it has a bad way Ross, it's just a brotherly kiss. Rick and Chida always give each other kisses" she giggled "I thought it was hot, who hasn't thought a of vampire emo like twins kissing" Damien gasped with a smirk "you have a naughty yaoi mind do you?" Jess stuck her tongue out at him, Ross got up and walked to the stairs and headed up them. Jess sighs "don't strain yourself!" "It's a strain just being in a presence of Damien trying so hard." Ross says signing.
Oichi was in the bathroom throwing up. Sakamoto frowned as he rubbed her back. "Maybe it was something you ate?" Oichi sits up. "All I had was a sandwich today…" He face turned green as she throws up again. "Maybe we should get you to the hospital." Oichi sighs feeling weakling. 'What's happening to me…' Out in the living room Joseph was in the living room watching Takara. He looked at the time. He had to be meet Dustin soon. Beside him was a black agate wolf fang silver pendent. It was made from his own fang and also rare rainbow flowers that grew on Lily's Island. Oichi had gotten him seeds to grow them.
There was a knock on the door. He got up and walked to the door. He opened it and a handsome, slim man with blue eyes and gray hair. He was wearing a long black shirt with a red vest over it black pants and shoes. "Hello young wolf. I'm looking for Oichi Yamamoto? Is this were she lives." Joseph nods. "Yes…who are you." The man smiled. "I'm Poseidon, God of seas, earthquakes, and horses." He chuckled. "Sorry didn't mean to toot my own horn but I need to speak with Oichi on a very important matter."
Sakamoto walked over. "Joseph, you can leave. I'm talking Oichi to the…" His eyes widen when he saw Poseidon at the door. "Your…" Poseidon walked in. "I need to see you fiancée young vampire and I need to speak to you both in private." Joseph sighs. He went to the living room and grabbed his gifts. "Let me know how she is?" Sakamoto nodded. Joseph looked at Poseidon and left.
At Dustin's family apartment, Dustin was in his room getting ready. Delica was in the kitchen doing the dishes. A knock on the door made her stop, dry off her hands and walk over to the front door, opening it she smiled to see Joseph "He's still in his room, come on in and wait for him" she said letting him in. "Thanks." He said walking in.
Sitting down at the couch with his gifts, he sat there waiting. Hearing a door open and footsteps, he looked to see Dustin walk in wearing Men's Pink Acid Wash shirt, men's black skinny jeans and white, black and pink converse. He had on light eyeliner on that to joseph look very sexy on him. Dustin smiled at him "Joseph!" he giggled walking over to him. "Hey. Happy Birthday." He says holding out the gifts. Dustin's eyes widen "Oh Joseph…." Dustin took the roses "Rainbow roses… they are beautiful…" he sniffed them. "They just finished fully growing and I made this necklace from my fang. Danni said it works as both a lucky charm and calling card."
Dustin smiled as Joseph put the necklace around his neck, Dustin looked at it "I love it! Thank you" Dustin put the roses on the table and reaches out runs his finger through joseph's hair and kisses him deeply.
Delica chuckled "Dustin, take my car. It's a long drive to where your date is gonna be at" Dustin nodded taking his mother's keys and then holding Joseph's hand "Come on let's go" "Alright."
They left the apartment and headed outside, once outside Dustin walked him over to his mother's car. Joseph eyes widen to see the car, Mercedes E-Class Convertible. Dustin got in the driver's seat and Joseph got in the passenger side, Dustin started the car and drove off.
Poseidon was bouncing a happy Takara. She was laughing. "My aren't you a friendly baby. Very cute indeed." Sakamoto was in the room with Oichi helping her out. He soon brought her back out. She was losing the color in her face. Poseidon looked at her. "Hello Oichi." Oichi sat down with Sakamoto beside her. Damien came running out. Takara giggled. "Down!" Poseidon chuckled. "So demanding." He placed her on the floor and she ran off to play with Damien.
"Um…is there something you needed from me Sir?" Oichi asked. "Yes actually. It's a matter of great importance concerning you and your state." Oichi frowned. "In June last year you were taken by your uncle corrected." Oichi looked down. "Yes…" "Don't you remember him injecting you with anything?" Oichi shook her head. "No…I try not to…remember those days as best I can…though it still haunts my dreams." Sakamoto held her hand. "Yes, I'm sorry to bring this back up. One of my temples was broken into some years ago and a potion of mine was taken. It was a fertility potion. I use to have the title of fertility before I passed it on to someone else. I made that potion for personal reasons it is a potion that increases the likelihood of have a child faster."
Oichi eyes widen. "Is that why…" She rubbed her stomach. "I was pregnant within a few weeks…" Poseidon nodded. "Yes, it was him who stole it from me and now I can see why." Sakamoto frowned. "You can all this way to tell us that?" Poseidon shook his head. "No, I wanted to let you know that the potion still runs through your veins." Oichi's and Sakamoto frowned and then it hit them. Oichi got up. "No! You must be lying!?" She said with a fearful look. "I wouldn't lie about this my dear." "No, I'm on birth control! This is impossible I can't have a child! I can't!" Oichi says in tears.
Poseidon looked at her stomach. "How have you been feeling…" Tears ran down Oichi's cheeks as she ran to the bathroom slamming the door behind her. Sakamoto bit his lip. "Is there anyway to undo the potion?" Poseidon stood up. "If I knew how much Dorian used then maybe but…I'm afraid the change is irreversible. Even if you beings came up with some specific birth control device or whatever my potion will always work I'm afraid."
Sakamoto looked at the urn. "Her body isn't fit to carry a child…the baby boy she was carrying didn't make it past 5 months because of the poison in her body…" "Yes, but I'm one my way to your grandfather and Lucifer about that. I can tell you that the child will live up to four months so that should be enough time for us to figure it out." He placed a hand on Sakamoto's shoulder. "I'm sorry that she got caught into this. Losing a child is something no mother wants and because it was my potion that was used I'll lead a hand in helping this time. Take care of her. I will be back another time." Poseidon takes his leave. Sakamoto knocks on the door. He could hear Oichi crying. "Ichi…please open the door…please?" When all he heard was more crying he sighs out. 'Should I call Jess? She might can coax her out…I don't want to bother her though…'He looks at the urn and frowns, sinking down to the floor.
Damien smiled down at Jess who was asleep on the couch, he turned to see Kaci and Ross walking down the stairs. He raised his eyebrow to see pink paint splattered on Ross's face. He chuckled "pink, nice touch" Kaci chuckled "That's what he gets for almost ruining my work pulling me into a forceful kiss over something stupid" Kaci said sitting down. "Says the guy jealous over my best friend…" Ross says sighing.
Kaci shook his head and smiled down at Jess "She looks so cute sleeping" Damien chuckled "Very" Ross sat down looking tired, Kaci looked at him "Love you tired? Wanna take a nap here? We can put on a horror movie or something, Paxton is with Sonya and they both have Marie for the day" "I'm fine. What's with you and horror movies…makes me worry about a bit." Ross says shaking his head.
Jess's phone rang, and she groaned not answering it. Damien chuckled and picked up her Iphone and see's it was Sakamoto calling. He answered "Sakamoto, what do you want?" "Shut up. I need Jess over here for Oichi. It's an emergency…"
Damien frowned and looked at Jess "alright, alright, I'll wake her up. Ross and Kaci are here, they can take her" he hanged up. Kaci frowned "Damien what's wrong?" Damien sighs softly "It's Oichi" he said poking Jess "Jessica wake up, you have to go to Oichi's" jess's eyes snapped open "what about Oichi?" she yawned "It's best to go there and see. Ross and Kaci will take you" Jess frowned "alright" Kaci helped her up, Ross looked at Damien "Tell me" Damien shook his head "GO there and see for yourself, I'll stay here and clean up" Jess yawned "Damien my cup please" he chuckled and walked to the blood fridge and took out her cup that she put in for freshness. Walking back over, he handed it her, Kaci came over with black flip flops and helped jess in them "Come on Jess" Jess nodded tiredly and sipped her cup. Ross and Kaci left with Jess. Damien sighed and went to clean out the medical disposal.
Getting outside, Ross opened a portal making Kaci frown. "Your not suppose to be using any of your powers Ross…" Ross rolled his eyes. "Oh please, making portals is the most basic things to do as long as I don't make it to big and hold it open for to long. Like now. Move it." He says pointing at the portal. Jess shook her head and walked through, Kaci frowns but walked with it.
Sakamoto sighs with his head on the bed room door. Takara was sitting on the floor with Damien. "Mama…?" She tears up. "She's okay Takara. She's…okay"
A port opened in the middle of the room. Jess walked out with Kaci and then Ross. "Are you suppose to be doing that…" Sakamoto asked. "Yeah, yeah, what's going on with Oichi?" They could hear her crying in the room.
Sakamoto looks down. "…Poseidon was here and told us that a fertility potion was used on her when Dorian had her… it increases the chance to have children. She's been throwing up since last night so she might be…" Sakamoto bit his lip. "She's locked herself in the room…" Jess frowned "What did he say?" Kaci frowned "but she's on birth control…" "The potion was created by the God of sea himself. I don't think mere birth control would stop the potion effects." Ross say sighing. "He said because he felt bad about his potion being used like this he would help out but…I don't think Oichi is taking it well as you can hear.."
Jess stepped over and knocked on the door "Oichi, it's Jess let me. It doesn't have to be the boys, just us girls" Kaci chuckled. The door clicked up and Jess opened it and walked in closing the door locking it behind her. Walking in the room she headed to the bathroom.
She frowned to see Oichi sitting on the floor back against the tub holding her knee's tearing. Jess walked over and sat on a chair next to her "Oichi… it's alright" "Its not alright…its not…I can't have a baby. I just can't. I don't want to lose another one!"
Jess smiled at her "you didn't stick around to hear what Lord Poseidon had to say, he went told Saki that he's gonna make sure you carry full term… you wont lose the baby this time Oichi" Oichi kept crying. "I cant…" She says remembering how painful it was when she lost Kalmin. She buried her head in her knees. Jess slid to the ground and held her "shhhh, it's alright… I know it's painful… it was painful when I lost rick… and I know it was painful for you to lose Kalmin but you gotta move past that and think of the positive, Poseidon is gonna make right by what happen and make sure it wont happen to you again, you wont lose the baby Oichi"
Sunset came around and Dustin pulled up to the Stars and Stripes Drive-in Movie Theater, Joseph blinked "A drive in theater?" Dustin chuckled "Yup" the place was half full already and they both can tell it was mostly teenagers. Dustin pulling up to the ticket booth, he smiled "Two tickets for Underworld" the girl flushed at him "O-Of course that will 10 dollar's!" Joseph frowned at her. Dustin took out a 10 dollar bill handing it to her. She smiled taking it gave him the two ticket, she winked at him and Dustin frowned at her snatching them from her "Don't even bark up this tree girl because I'm not into girls and I don't my boyfriend likes the way you just winked at me" he said driving away to find a good spot. Joseph chuckled has he looked back to see the girl frowning.
Dustin finding a good spot, he parked and turned off the car. He smiled "we have half an hour until the movie starts, lets get in line for some drinks and popcorn" Joseph smiled with a nodded "Sounds good to me" they both got out of the car, holding hands they headed to the food area.
The bathroom door opened making the boys sit up has the door opened and Jess walked out with a still teary Oichi "I calm her down slightly, once Lord Poseidon speaks with her personal alone I think she will understand" Kaci nodded "It's gonna be okay Oichi" Oichi sniffed. "I hope so…"
Jess smiled and took her took Oichi's hand "It will be okay" has she said that she felt her hand burned and Oichi felt the sting, making Jess pull back and fall back only for Ross to catch her. "Jess!" Kaci gasped.
Oichi frowned. Jess felt sick "Oh Aerith, you naughty girl you weren't suppose to do that….! She suck some of Oichi's aura…" Oichi's eyes widen "WHAT?!" Kaci bites his lip looking at Ross "can you suck it back out?"
"Yeah yeah, I'm already doing that…seriously. I cant wait for your kid to pop out already." Once he absorbs the aura he sighs out and pat's Jess on the back gently. "There. No damage done…but…" He goes and lays down on the couch. "I'm done for the day. Don't touch me while I take ownership off your couch…" Ross says passing out. Sakamoto sighs. "You okay?" He says to Jess. Jess nodded "Where's my cup?" Kaci looked and see's it on the table, grabbing he handed to Jess, she took and started to drink some of it.
Oichi looked down upset. "I'm a danger to everyone…as usual…if I would have stayed locked in my hut everything would be better…" Sakamoto hugs her. "Don't say that. It wasn't your fault and Jess and Aerith is okay see?" Jess nodded "It wasn't your fault, Aerith is the first of her kind… we don't know the full extend of her power yet, even in my womb we don't know what she's cable of yet because hungry for aura. Once she is born and gets older she will be able to control this power she has. Oichi your little niece is fine" she rubbed her tummy.
As the night rolled on, it was very close to the end of the movie. Dustin and Joseph on the hood of the car watch with half eaten popcorn tub. Dustin cuddled up to Joseph "After the movie, we can stop at a motel for the night, in the morning we can head back home" "That sounds good." Joseph says nodding in agreement.
They both looked to see the movie had ended, Dustin chuckled "That was good, love the underworld movies and even better playing live in a drive through" "Yeah, never been to one of these." Joseph says.
They both got off the car, Joseph threw away the popcorn tub and got in the car, Dustin already in started the car and backed up has the other cars where pulling out. Driving out of the drive in theater drove off down the road.
Jess now back home, she was laying down in bed with her pregnancy pillow wearing a Obsidian Heather Lace-Trim Surplice Maternity Pajama Set, the Tv was on, she had Netflix on has the movie Dark Crystal was playing. Damien walked in wearing Jersey Pajama Pants with no shirt on. Jess flushed "No shirt?" Damien chuckled and laid down with her "I get hot with one on" Jess shook her head has Damien moved close to her. She frowned mental feeling a heated feeling 'crap.. why does my pregnancy hormones acting up….' Damien looked at her "you alright?" Jess's face turned red "It's my pregnancy hormones…." Damien chuckled "I see so your Horny" Jess covered her face "Shut up!" Damien smirked and scooted more closer to moving her hands "I can fix that" he leaned in and kissed her making her eyes widen.
At Seth's, he was watching Reshima as she used her magic to read a few pages of Valeriea's journal. There was a knock on the door and it opened. "Grandfather." Lucien walked in. "You have a visitor." Poseidon walked in. "Hello King Seth. It's been awhile." "Lord Poseidon? What are you doing here?" Seth asked getting up. "Well first I'm here to congratulate you. I know becoming a great grandfather is pleasing." "It is nice to see my family grow but you cant be here for Takara." Poseidon chuckled. "No, not her. She is very friendly by the way. No, I'm speaking of Oichi. She is carrying."
Seth eyes widen. "That is impossible. She can't carry. Her body isn't fit…" "Yes, yes I know. It's because of my fertility potion that Dorian stole from me. It's still in her systems. I'm afraid that no form of birth control can stop that." Seth frowned. "We have four months to cure her so that the child may live. It is my potion and I do feel partially bad since it was taken so easily. So I will offer my assistance." He looked at Reshima and looked her up and down. "Ah…seems like you are moving on to getting a witch bride as well as that other King huh. You boy sure do love your witches here Haha"
Seth shook his head. "A associate of mine. She is helping me crack Valeriea's journal. We need a witch with a close bound with Valeriea to read it." Reshima turned to them. "I can only read bits and pieces of it. My connection with her was strong but not as strong to read her journal." Poseidon hums out looking at the book. "Valeriea…bond…back in her life time she did have another companion. I shall be back." He says leaving.
Dustin and Joseph stepped into their hotel room, turning the light on. Dustin walked in more, it was a nice room. The door closing, Dustin grabbed Joseph by the shirt pulling him over to the bed and pushed him on it. "Um…look we talked about this before…" He says with a uncomfortable look on his face.
Dustin chuckled "I know your not ready, that's why we're gonna do a lot of foreplay" he smirked crawling over him removing his shirt.
The next day around 10am, Dawn inside of a big tent in Zach's backyard, she was putting the cake in place. She smiled "Prefect!"

"Thanks for the lift. It's to bad Saki couldn't come…but he's been missing lessons with Seth because of me." She had on the beads she got from Dante, covering her scent. She had yet to tell anyone else of what was going on. She and Sakamoto had made a doctor's appointment for next for conformation about her pregnancy.

Zane noticed Oichi and his eyes sparkled. He kicked his feet slightly. Kaci chuckled. "I think he wants you Oichi." Oichi smiles slightly and takes Zane from him. He smiles up as her as she grabbed his hands. "Hey little brother."
Dawn came in "Boys, come and help Zach with the playpen please" she asked them sitting down. Zach walked in caring 5 pieces "It's outside boys" Dustin and Kaci got up and went to get some pieces. Paxton and Ross stepped outside of the tent and see's the playpen pieces "why are they putting this in there?" Ross asked, Kaci picking up some sides "To keep the babies entertained" he said walking back into the tent with Dustin who had a couple. All the was left was a slide, rocking toy chair, swing and some toy balls in a plastic bag not yet been open. Ross sighed. "If I was going to be put to work I would have stayed home…"
Oichi was bouncing Zane a bit. He let out small giggles here and there. "You are quite a quiet baby. I guess you will break out of that sooner or later. I bet you have mamas temper." She says chuckling.
The boys finishing getting the playpen together, Ross opened the bag of toy colored balls and emptied it in the paly pen "All finished dawn" Kaci said, Dawn smiled and stepped over sitting Rose down. Rose blinked and screamed happy "AHHH!" the boys chuckled at her.
