This chapter I'm going to have it shown from a few different POV's starting with Lydia! Enjoy!

I was so warm feeling the rays of the sunlight through the window I reached my arms towards my husband. He was sleeping soundly enough his hair crawling with bugs and he had that musky smell he always carried with him. I didn't mind it so much anymore like I first did. Although I guess that happens after sleeping with a man a few times and living with him. I caressed his face and watched his eyes open emeralds shone from behind his pale almost dusty looking eyelids. He smiled and the first words out of his mouth were "Mornin' Babes." I kissed him and replied "Good morning Beej…Beetle omelet for breakfast?" Beetlejuice almost leapt from his decomposing skin "Yeah Babes!!" I giggled before getting up from bed throwing on a black robe while he zapped himself his usual suit. Before I left the room I tampered with his tie which was straight and that was just not his style so I offset it like he would have it normally. He just smiled at me again saying "Ya know me so well!" then followed me out of the room. My parents were already sitting in the main room with the boarders that rarely showed up at all then again I guess that's what happens when you have a place packed with ghosts that were usually sighted at the mine and paid their keep in gems they brought back. Eris was sitting by the window staring out then I saw Chaos come out from the back room "Lydia good you're up! Come help me in the kitchen." I nodded and went to the kitchen with my adopted brother. Chaos and I worked up more than a sweat making pancakes and eggs along with Beej's special omelet.

When we emerged from the kitchen with food I was not surprised to see my stepmother and father fighting with my husband. I looked at Chaos and sighed "what am I going to do?" My brother simply shrugged and said "Didn't you get some handy little tools on that delivery route? I would look them over if I were you…" I was confused by that but I guess it was just an excuse to get me out of the room so I did it… When I cleared the stairs I heard something clang loudly and Chaos shouting "IDIOTS!!" I shook my head before going to my room picking up a box I hid under the floorboards. Beneath the boards was a cigar box left over from when Eris still owned the store she figured it would come in handy before she became a shell of her former self. I sighed as my mind wandered for a few seconds before opening up the box which had in it a teddy bear with a conveniently stashed gun hidden inside, a package that read 'portable web-net', and there was another box next to my cigar box. I glanced at it closely noticing it was more like a case carefully opening it slowly there were two guns inside each with an engraving Love and Fate. In the box was also a note which read "I thought you could use something with a little more kick. Your brother, Chaos." I picked them up and they felt good in my hands…Eris didn't really like guns but she didn't say I couldn't use them. Although I have a feeling she wouldn't care anyways. If she was her old self she might actually be happy.

Pass the baton to Chaos

These idiots… Damn it they won't stop squabbling… It pisses me off that people can argue about something for three days straight. Obviously Lydia's parents are not happy about the marriage that their daughter voluntarily entered and Beetlejuice already has the girl so why is he arguing with them? He has it all in the bag…now he's just making a fool of himself… I just sigh and after finishing the dishes pick up Eris' blade to clean it… I don't know why I really bother with it save trying to keep what sanity I have left. Ryaneo meant so much to my sister in mid-sweep of the shining blade I had a thought I couldn't just leave Eris like this I had to help her. I stood up and dragged her to her room she staggered behind me looking a little confused. I dug through her closet until I found something suitable which was a black dress with red designs like claw marks…for some reason she liked this dress before what happened. I shoved it at her and said "Put it on by yourself before I do it for you." Eris sighed and sluggishly put it on obeying but acting like it made no real difference at all. I turned to the other wall to give her some privacy. When she was done I dragged her back downstairs and said "I'm going to lunch and buying. Who's coming?" Beetlejuice and Lydia stood which triggered the standing up of Delia and Charles who had been trying to convince me to take their daughter away from Beetlejuice. This thing is giving me a headache…

Pass the baton to…Eris

Today I find myself walking through a crowd looking at everything around me but only seeing a gray haze and black shadows creeping up on me. Fine let them take me my heart is oblivion from what happened. I loved him so much how could the gods be so cruel to him? He was a fair haired man with a heart purified by flames yet he died like a dog. Just thinking of how he suffered makes my heart sink deeper into my chest. Chaos for some reason had the bright idea to take out everyone for lunch… As you can tell I'm not exactly ecstatic but I don't really have a choice in the matter. Taking a seat I listen to the gabbing while the others order drinks. I said nothing so Chaos ordered Earl Grey tea for me. I sipped it in small amounts when it came to the table that for some reason seemed to make everyone at the table smile. This would be mind boggling to me if I gave it more than two seconds worth of thought. After a while I heard something annoying come through the door it was Vincent with some crones. I shrugged it off I guess jerks have to eat too. They sat close to us. Any closer and I would be able to feel Vince's breath on the nape of my neck not that I wanted to. He made me sick. I don't know how long I can hold myself back from crying or destroying them. I could hear him talking….Vincent's boasting began. "The flare gun head was on his way home to propose to that statue over there and the ring 'accidentally broke.'" I turned to Chaos and hugged his arm I needed his strength when I was lost and Ryan was absent big brother was there for me like he is now.

Pass the baton back to Chaos

I guess it's my turn again…Well time to get the show rolling again. Eris was hugging my arm so I hugged her, things like that seemed to help her. She was making progress until that bastard walked in spouting off things. I listened just in case I heard something that would set Eris off. Thing about Eris was that depressed made it easy for her to become angry. Eris was the definition fury, the variety that fell under Hell Hath No. In that state she was like a deranged beast that I stopped once only because I was lucky… My sister's hands are clean and I want them to stay that way. Vincent continued none the less.
"I remember when you slapped him around like a prostitute then I ran him through with my blade right where I hit Eris."
I hugged Eris tighter her body had become rigid and I could hear her grind her teeth. The jerk didn't stop there either "When I ran him through he only said one thing though…" I wanted to break his neck that instant but I was trying to hold Eris with everything I could especially when he walked up to Eris and whispered into her ear something I didn't care to hear before kicking him in the basket. I stood up and threw some money on the table "Let's go I just started a war!" After my declaration I announced "We fight tonight." Lydia and Beetlejuice followed behind Eris and me. I didn't really care what Delia and Charles did they were obviously useless in a fight. Once back at the house everyone went to their own room including myself…I put on my finest black suit with a brand new blue tie if I was to die I was going to die looking good. I had to check on Eris… Judging by her death grip held on my arm at the restaurant she was too close to taking the blade I had on my person to slay Vincent. I took careful steps toward Eris' room which was noisy like nothing else. I opened the door but kept my head low knowing that she was throwing things. My foresight saved me from being impaled with a well aimed dagger. She was throwing everything except the…oh…well now we can include the kitchen sink followed by the bathroom sink. After the porcelain landed she sat on her bed and with a dark tone asked "What do you want?"
