End Intermission:
Inquiete: Bonjour, mes amis accueillir à nouveau!
Seth: [Groaning in annoyance] Ok Inquiete we get it! Your taking French, French blood runs in your veins! You don't have to keep talking in French!
Inquiete: Enfermer, (shut up) I'll do what I want, and I'll keep putting French phrases in this here and there until a reviewer tells me to shut up and can it.
Seth: You're an asshole! And I thought you couldn't use accents on a computer.
Inquiete: Huh? [Eyes pan up the page] oh! Not on the key board no, but on word if you go to the symbols they have some of the accents.
Seth: so what did you just write up there?
Inquiete: Hello, my friends welcome back! Oh and just cause I can now I'll show you how my name is really spelled. Inquiéte.
Seth: Why did you-
Inquiete: Because I can now shut up and stop asking so many stupid questions!
Stevie Rae: You two aren't nice, at all.
Inquiete: Thank you Stevie Rae, I love being complimented on this hour of the eve
Stevie Rae: REALLY not nice.
Inquiete: Merci, now let's go to the next challenge I'm trying to shorten this chapter so I can work on a new story idea that's going on in my head.
Stevie Rae: Really? What's it called?
Inquiete: I don't know yet. Maybe something like "Be careful what you wish for" it's kind of like HoN meets Beastlie. But I'm not going to put it in the crossover section because it's not really a crossover.
Stevie Rae: What's it about?
Inquiete: I can't really tell you that. But I will give you, sort of a quote hint. "By the gods if only I could take it back!"
Seth: Well that's a weird thing to say.
Inquiete: He didn't really mean it he was just talking out of his frustration. He doesn't really want to change what happened. He just was frustrated and confused and didn't know what to do. [Shrugs shoulders,] so he was just yelling at the sky; [nods in approval] always a good stress reliever, other than punching walls…or people.
Seth: Erm…Inquiete…the challenge.
Inquiete: Oh yes, yes of course! Well the rules are the same as round 1 but this time you're saying who has the better imprint. BEGIN!
Round 3:
Imprint: Blood or Sight
Rephaim: Stevie Rae and I are bound through blood; tying us together as one. (+4)
Jacob: That's gross! Renesmee and I are just as bond as you and this "Stevie Rae" and she never had to suck me.
Rephaim: it is not gross it is bonding and spiritual and the way vampyre's REAL vampyre's connect with their consorts. (+6) and besides your…your…I don't even know what to call it. [Makes a face of disgust,] imprint if you can even call it that. Is NOT the same as Stevie Rae's and mine, we are connected I know her feels and she will always now where I am (+8) can you say that?
Jacob: I'll do anything for her. And she actually CARES about me. Can you say the same? Do you think Stevie Rae would love you if you weren't imprinted? You [tips head back and laughs.] You're a monster and a freak.
Rephaim: [Eyes shift up to Stevie Rae in the Announcer's Box than looks back at Jacob with a disdainful, almost bored look on his face.] Yes I suppose you would do anything for your Renesmee. You have to. You would do anything she commands. You'd do anything to please her. You would jump, but not before you were given the command how high. You would run forever, climb the highest mountain, kill any threat. If only to please your charge, protect her from anything and everything. You look at her as if you are a blind man seeing the sun for the first time. Yes you do all these things but as I said before you have to. You are commanded by this imprint of yours to care for only her, see only her; you can and want to think of only her. And well yes these things are fine it does not mean anything if you only feel these things through some foolish bondage.
I suppose she also cares for you. But why do you think that is? Because she likes you for you or because you do anything for her and make her happy; because you have to, you are forced to; you became anything for her. As I am nothing but myself I do not pretend for the Red One, I do not hide my past or the things I've done. She knows what and who I am and loves me anyway. By some gods-be-damned miracle she loves me. And I thank the gods every day for that miracle. As for your question yes I do believe she would still love me if there was no imprint. Because well yes the imprint drew us together it did not establish the feelings we have for each other.
That bond, our true bond formed the day she saved my life. No I do not know why she did it. No I don't understand it. But I am thankful she did. She gave me a gift that day, a gift I am not willing to trade away, nor a gift I will ever take lightly. Yes I am what you say, a monster, a beast. But somehow, some way, she was able to look past that and truly see me. She saw my light, and kindness, and humanity and opened my eyes to what I truly could be. She loves me and I love her. And that son of man is the true bond. And perhaps the true debate this night. Do our lovers truly love us, or is it a manipulation of a bond forcing them to see what they see. After all, before the child was born you were plotting her destruction. And I…sadly…am of no fault. Not only did I kill her professor but before we met I plotted with my father to kidnap the Red One and use her powers. I regret this chose of action but regret doesn't accuse the action in itself. So son of man, Jacob is it not? Let us hear your argument retaliate, tell me I am wrong. If you fell this strongly about your "imprint" than fight for it; make me see how wrong I am.
Fight back. But I don't believe you will ruin Stevie Rae's and my imprint. I am her lover, her warrior, and her consort. And there is nothing you can say to taint that. But by all means wolf, try, give it your best shot.
[Jaws drop, whole room is silent. Everyone is in stunned silence from Rephaim's speech. No one knew what to say.]
Inquiete: {Jaw to the floor, eyes as round as saucers.] Oh. My. Goddess!
Stevie Rae: [Sighing dreamily] ah my Rephaim, my consort.
[Crowd breaks out of stunned silence and starts screaming/chanting Rephaim's name on the top of their lunges, meet stomp, fist pump, eyes glow. Fan girls wail, Mike whoops. Everyone is on their feet in a surge of faith. They all love him.]
Crowd: REPHAIM! REPHAIM! RE-PHAIM! RE-PHAIM!
Inquiete: Well that settles it! Rephaim WINS IMPRINT BLOOD OR SIGHT ROUND!
Crowd: [Goes into an uproar] RE-PHAIM! RE-PHAIM! RE-PHAIM! RRRREEE-PPHAIM!
Rephaim: No.
Inquiete: Excuse me, Rephaim
Rephaim: I said no. I have not won anything, because there has not been a fight. I was not speaking impressive words just to claim a victory. I truly want to know how he plans to retaliate. I want him to fight for his claim, and besides Inquiete how can you win if you haven't even fought.
Inquiete: [Sputters dumbfounded] but Rephaim…you've WON…you've fought. There is no WAY to retaliate after a speech like that…you just…can't.
Rephaim: Let him try.
Jacob: [Stares stunned at Rephaim completely speechless.]
Rephaim: Come now Jacob surly you have something say; a way to prove me wrong. Prove you're worth Jacob. Prove to me, to us, and to yourself that you are the Great Jacob Black and you will defend your bond. If it can be called that, just one argument, one retaliation that shows your strength.
Jacob: [plinks in shock.] I-I can't
Rephaim: [Raises eyebrow] what?
Jacob: I-I-I can't argue y-you make-you-you [hangs head in defeat.] I just can't.
Rephaim: Really? You won't even defend yourself when you are being challenged. [Shakes head disgust and pity.] What a shame. And here I suspected more from you, very well than Jacob, hang your head in defeat. Though what I had just done hardly counts as a victory. Oh well. Last chance to argue your case; and I assure you my speech can be argued.
Jacob: [Doesn't respond]
Rephaim: [Shrugs shoulders;] very well then.
Inquiete: REPHAIM WIN! I'm not even going to bother to tally the points on this one.
[Crowd goes wild.]
Inquiete: Oh and just an fyi yeah I know Rephaim's argument can be argued but I'm not in the mood to dissect a beautiful speech like that. Oh and yes I know this is short forgive me but the next chapter is going to be the Battle of the Death so just wait and prepare for some killing! :)
