Chapter 12

Raven didn't open her eyes when she woke up; she wasn't ready to face the day yet. As the sleepiness left her she felt something off. She missed Rade's arms around her all of a sudden, and she panicked. She sat up straight her eyes flying open and looking around in alarm. 'Where the hell was she?' She thought. She was in an old stone room, something from medieval times. There was a fire in the fireplace, but the room wasn't really that cold, and she felt the magic that surrounded the place. She was alone though, even though that's what she'd wanted to be at home, she'd rather be back there surrounded by her over protective brothers.

'Rade, Vincent?' She projected to the covenant. 'Anyone?'

She let the tears flow. She was afraid and curled up in a ball on the bed and pulled the covers tighter as if to protect her.

'I don't want to be alone please!' She projected.

Rayne's eyes flew open when he heard raven project to Rade and Vincent he heard her say something about not wanting to be alone, then he took the time to look around at his surroundings and noticed it was absolutely unfamiliar to him.

"Raven?" he projected. "Where are you...better yet where am I?" he projected feeling a bit uneasy.

'Rayne? Are you here too? Please be here somewhere! I'm scared.' She said crying. 'I want to go home!'

"Yea I'm here...but where is here exactly? It's okay don't be scared where are you I'll see if I can get to you? Everything will be okay please don't cry" Rayne replied to his sister.

Right now Rayne was pissed to the ultimate limit he hated to see or hear Raven cry it broke his heart and lately she's been crying way too much.

'I don't know where we're at, it's a magical place though, can't you feel the magic?' Raven replied sitting up. 'No one else is answering us Rayne, we're alone here.'

She pushed the covers away, seeing she was still in her pajama bottoms and top, and socks. How had they gotten here? She got up, and walked over to the door opening it and looked out seeing a long hallway with doors lining it.

"You're right, it must be just us but I wonder if the others can hear us? Let me give it a try" he replied to her.

"Marcus, Michael guys can you hear me? " he waited for a reply but got none.

"Well Marcus and Michael didn't reply so I think it's just us, this place has strong magic I can feel it also, I wonder how we got here because I'm still wearing the same clothes I fell asleep in?" Rayne projected to Raven.

'I'm in my pajamas that I went to bed in, I don't remember anything after talking to Lizzie, and Rade.' Her voice cracked even projecting as she mentioned Rade. She walked out into the hallway. 'Where are you Rayne?'

"I don't exactly know where I am but I just walked out of a room and I'm just roaming the hallways which seem never ending and there's a whole bunch of doors. Where are you?" he asked turning a corner the first one he saw since he started walking and there he was faced with another set of doors...again.

"This place makes me feel like I'm dead and I just have to choose the right door to my destiny in the afterlife" he thought aloud to himself, well, since there was no one around.

He then started looking for another corner to see if he could find Raven.

"Talking to yourself now little brother?" Ridge asked from behind Rayne as he'd just walked out of the room he'd stayed the night in. He'd heard his brother and sister projecting, but thought he'd see if they could find one another before he showed himself, but Rayne was getting himself lost, and he didn't like hearing Raven upset.

Rayne heard Ridge talking to him from behind and since he knew his brother was dead it scared the living daylights out of him he jumped and turned around at lightning speed to face Ridge.

"Ridge what are you doing here? What is this place? Am I dead? Where's Raven?" , the questions flew out of his mouth one after the other before he could stop them.

At this point in time Rayne was actually scared for his life , he turned as white as paper all these different questions were going through his head.

"Please let this be a dream it's either that or I'm going insane after what happened at the hospital", Rayne said to himself again this time.

"Whoa slow down little brother!" He reached forward grabbing Rayne and pulling him into arms holding him. "You're not dead, I'm here to see you and Raven, actually I come here quite a bit with mom and dad. You're in a magical realm where we can both go. If you're wondering how you got here, Rowan brought you at dad's orders to protect you. He went to him in a dream like I did to yours awhile back. Shall we go get Raven?"

"I don't understand why did Rowan only bring Raven and I what about the others they will be pissed when they wake up and not find us there, what I don't get is how Rowan got me away from Rafe and Ryder they were sleeping right next to me" he said to Ridge.

"Well anyway let's go find Raven before she gets lost or something then you better explain everything to us because this isn't exactly normal" he said, he was a little bit freaked out by the whole situation.

Raven started to answer Rayne, but her stomach turned over. She looked around wondering if there was a bathroom anywhere, but that hope of finding one was gone, she fell to her knees throwing up. She fell back against the cool stone wall when her stomach settled down, wondering where Rayne was. She heard footsteps and turned to see Rayne coming down the hall, followed by Ridge? Everything went black as she fainted.

When Rayne and Ridge turned the corner they were just in time to see her slump back against the wall and faint. Rayne rushed forward to his sister.

"Damn, she's pregnant this can't be healthy we have to wake her up Ridge" Rayne said to his brother then went back to trying to wake his sister up.

"Raven can you hear me? Please wake up Ravie" he pleaded with her.

"She's pregnant?" Ridge asked not believing his ears as he waved his hand and the mess she'd made on the floor disappeared. "She just fainted Rayne, she'll be fine. So it's Simms's?" He wished he'd of killed the boy now.

"Well yea it's his who else's would it be? You know I wanted to kill him so bad when I found out that she was pregnant but then I realized that he really loves her and vice versa it's the power of love nothing can keep it away." Rayne answered Ridge.

"Who else's could it be? Well hell let's see Shane Archer's or Chase Collin's that night ring a bell little brother? The same night she lost her virginity to Simms."

He reached down picking Raven up in his arms, and starting down the hall with her.

"The power of love something I'll never have thanks to Shane Archer." He muttered under his breath barely audible.

"Well it is a possibility but Corrine said the baby was Tyler's I don't know okay ,right now I want to go home by the way do you have a phone I just remembered I was supposed to call Audrey, God even though I miss her I'm afraid to hear what she's gonna have to say." he told his brother.

Ridge let out a sigh of relief. "Corinne has the power to tell, so it's Tyler's then. You can't go home till it's safe for you to. That's why you're here, only those that have the power, and their lives are being threatened are you allowed to come here when you're still alive. It only appears to those in need, and then disappears. I bet Rowan had a coronary when he discovered it gone. Telephones don't work here. Have you read Harry Potter? It's like in that story, even though it is real and there really was a Harry Potter, and a Hogwarts. This place is alive by magic little brother. Now come on Mom and Dad are probably awake by now." He said continuing on down the hallway.

"Mom and dad are here right now? Awesome at least I get to see them again. How long do you think we're going to have to stay here?" Rayne asked Ridge.

"Till you and Raven are safe little brother. I don't know how long it will take for the others to fish the Archer's out. You won't be alone though, the Archer boys will be here at some time. Downing boys I should say." He grimaced as he reached his parent's room. "Could you knock little brother? My hands are kind of full, even though she's lost some weight and is light as a feather."

If he was alive he'd wring Tyler's neck.

"Sure" replied Rayne he hesitated before he knocked he couldn't wait to see his parents again but he was kind of nervous.

His father answered the door dressed and ready for the day.

He glanced at Raven in Ridge's arms. "What happened?" he asked stepping back and letting Ridge walk in with her.

"She passed out after throwing up. She's pregnant." He told his father, who he could tell already knew.

"Lay her on the bed Ridge." His mother said hurrying forward and taking Rayne in her arms. "Oh my beautiful little boy how I've missed you! You're not my little boy anymore though are you?" She frowned a little thinking of all she had missed for being so careless with a power of four spell, that she hadn't totally read all of the instructions for, and taking two other lives along with hers. She'd left her children and Pogue without anyone. Well Pogue still had his father if you could call him that.

Their father stepped forward wrapping his arms around Rayne when his wife let go of their boy. "I've missed you son!"

Ridge laid Raven on the bed, and turned back to his parents who were greeting his little brother. He grinned with tears in his eyes watching the reunion. He didn't want to be here when Raven woke up, for fear he wouldn't be able to control his emotions.

Rayne couldn't be happier to see his parents but this just made him miss them a lot more because he knew when he goes back home they won't be there neither would Ridge. After they greeted him he sat down on the bed next to Raven stroking her hair.

Raven woke up, her stomach was still churning a little, and she wished the nausea would go away. She felt someone stroking her hair and she opened her eyes relieved to see Rayne.

"I think I was dreaming Rayne. Ridge was with you, and we were in this weird place..." She trailed off noticing she was in a similar room to the one she had been in earlier, only this one a lot bigger, and realized she hadn't been dreaming.

Raven panicked she looked up and saw her parents and Ridge standing there. She sat up backing up against the headboard of the bed.

"Rayne? Have we died?" She asked frantically.

"Calm down sis, we haven't died Ridge said that Rowan dropped us here for protection we're only allowed because we have the power and our lives are being threatened by Shane and Thane Archer" he explained to her but immediately got pissed after saying the Archers names.

"We'll be outta here when they're gone but for now get acquainted again with mom and dad" he moved off the bed and allowed their parents to see her.

Raven looked at her parents. Her mother she had seen a few short weeks ago, but that was before she got pregnant, and she wondered if they knew. She lowered her eyes ashamed. What would they think of her turning out like this.

Meredith stepped forward taking Raven in her arms and holding her. "It's all right baby."

Raven sobbed against her mother, wishing she was really alive.

Meredith held her baby in her arms remembering when she was a baby and cradling her in her arms. Raven was her last one, and would always be her baby. She smiled through her tears thinking that Rade had been the quiet baby, while Raven had never been quiet. Raven had been the one to always get into trouble, and Rade trying to stop her and protect her.

Jonathon stepped toward the head of the bed resting his hand on Raven's coal black hair and sending a calming power through her. He heard Raven's sobs subside, but she still clung to her mother.

Rayne stood with ridge looking at his sister and their parents with tears in his eyes. It was really touching to see them reunite.

Right now he was bored seeing as there was nothing to and he wanted to know what Audrey wanted when she wanted him to call her back he missed her so much.

Ridge felt the tears well up in his eyes, and he hurriedly looked away. He nudged Rayne nodding toward the door. He sensed the others we're here, and he headed out the door.

The ones left behind for their protection followed the robed men down long hallways before coming to a stop in front of a door, that opened, and Ridge and Rayne stepped out.

When Ridge nudged Rayne he got the hint and followed his brother out of the room. He had sensed the presence of the other masters of Ipswich when they got out of the room outside stood the masters of Ipswich as if waiting for them all with identical somber looks on their faces.

Audrey was standing behind Sloan, and peered around him seeing Rayne step into the hallway. She smiled before running up to him.

"Rayne!" She cried throwing her arms around him.

Before Rayne could take another step toward his friends Audrey came running towards him and enveloped him in a huge hug. For the first time that night he smiled it felt as though everything was okay since she was back in his arms.

"Jade said you called earlier and wanted me to call you back, sorry for not getting time to do that I fell asleep before I got the chance, so what did you want, it sounded important?" he asked still hugging her.

"I was worried about you, felt like something was wrong. I finally called Chandler late last night and he told me a little of what happened, but I still want the full story from you!" She told him not wanting to let go.

"Well it's a really long story but I'll give you my short version with all the important details, first Michael was attacked when we were at Nicky's and we had to take him to the hospital when we got there Rowan called Storm and told him and some of the others to go to the kids at Spenser's infirmary well his orders also made Storm tie me to a chair then Matt figured out that Shane took over Aaron's body that's how he attacked Michael, matt and Chandler went outside leaving Marcus and I and Mr. and Mrs Archer. Mr. Archer bounded Marcus' power and attacked me when Mrs Archer tried to stop him he used to send her flying into the wall instantly killing her then he kept on using on me Chandler and Matt came back then he hurt both of them if it weren't for Rowan, Rafe and Rory getting there in time I think I might have died after Rowan left to go to Spenser and Rory drove us home I don't think I've ever been in that much pain in my life and I definitely don't want to go through that again." he told Audrey telling the story to her brought back all the painful memories again.

Ridge glanced at Rayne holding his girlfriend when it suddenly felt like a brick wall hit him. He looked down to see Rade's arms wrapped around him. He hugged Rade back looking at the others. He nodded at Sloan, Matthew, Michael, Marcus, and Vincent. He smiled at Corinne and Jade and felt his heart break looking at the sleeping Riley. He missed the little angel so much it hurt. He ruffled Rade's hair, before opening the door behind him, catching his father's eye, nodding at him, then pushed Rade into the room, shutting the door behind him.

His arms then reached out to take Riley from Jade. She smiled at him giving him a quick peck on the cheek, letting him take Riley from her. He looked at the sleeping baby in his arms with tears in his eyes. He looked at his brother's wives wishing he could be there for the birth of the new Downing babies.

"The rooms on either side of Mom and Dad's here you two can take." He told his sister in laws.

The door opened behind him, and his father walked out shutting it behind him.

He kissed Riley's forehead seeing her. He had longed to do that ever since she had been born. There would be time later to hold her though. He looked at his nephews.

"Sloan, Matthew, and Michael if you three will come with me, I have someone that would like to meet you." He said leading the way down the hall.

Ridge turned to Marcus and Vincent, then looked at Audrey and Rayne still holding one another. He knew better than to let Rayne and Audrey out of his site. Not here anyway.

"The rest of you come with me." He said grinning.

"OK but where are we going I'm bored this place is way too plain there's nothing to do" complained Rayne while they followed Ridge.

Ridge reached over ruffling Rayne's hair. "You've been bored since the minute you were born little brother." He said grinning. "Just wait and see."

He went down one hallway after another, stopping in front of two big heavy doors. Grinning he pushed them open. The place was crowded today. He wondered about that seeing so many of those with power in once place. He could tell those who had died and those who we're still alive by their aura.

He looked around the enclosed area. There was a glass globed like room that enclosed the ceiling from the outside. The sky was a beautiful light blue.

"Hey Ridge!" One of his friends called to him. He waved back to them.

"There's food, dance, drink, yes you can drink here there is no age limit. A lot better than Nicky's. The pool tables are that way Rayne, there magically operated." He said pointing to their right. His eyes met that of a girl across the room. Grinning he headed that way. "Have fun kids."

The girl was laying by the swimming area. He'd went out on a couple of dates here with her. He liked her, but she was alive yet, and he was technically dead. She knew though and it didn't bother her.

Rayne went over to the pool tables with Marcus. Audrey tagged along with them just to watch then some guy came up and started hitting on her and even though she ignored him he wouldn't leave her alone. Rayne and Marcus watched the whole thing happen until Audrey turned away from the guy and he grabbed her arm and pressed her up against him.

By now Rayne was seeing red he went up to the guy from behind and tapped him on the back and as soon as the guy turned around Rayne decked him in the face Marcus tried to hold Rayne back but he was too occupied with seeing that Audrey was okay if anything happened to her Rayne would kill him.

Soon both Rayne and the guy were throwing blasts of power at each other causing a huge commotion.

Ridge was just about to kiss the girl when a fight broke out. He groaned feeling the power being used, and knowing who was fighting.

"I'll be back." He said getting up and walking toward the pool tables. His eyes searched for the others. Machen was going to have his hide for this, and he rolled his eyes seeing it was Machen's son that was fighting with his brother.

He found Marcus and Audrey not to far from Rayne. Where the hell was Vincent. Bloody hell he couldn't find him. He walked by Marcus, "Where's Vin?" He watched Marcus look around frantically, before taking off knowing Ridge would handle this.

He bound both boys' powers glaring at them. "This is a sanctuary! What the hell do you two think you're doing?"

The doors burst open and the place went totally silent as Machen walked in.

He looked from his own son to the Downings.

"What is going on here?"

"Well first off he started it" Rayne said pointing to Machen's son "if he didn't touch my girlfriend when she turned him down the first time this whole thing wouldn't have started" Rayne seethed at Machen seeing as he had no idea who Machen was.

Machen glared at his son, this wasn't the first time he had gotten complaints. He hadn't really believed them before, but he really didn't think a Downing would lie. He looked at the girl who appeared shaken up. He sighed.

"Colin go to my office I'll deal with you in a moment. As for you young Downing."

His son did an about face after turning to head to the office.

"He's a Downing?" Colin looked from his father to Ridge and the boy standing beside him.

"Yes." His father said. "No go."

Ridge watched pissed. He hoped that Machen didn't turn his brother out after this, Archer would get him if he did.

"You're banned from this room for two days for using and fighting in here. This is a sanctuary boy. If I see you anywhere I want to see you're father or Ridge at your side. Or Roman for that matter."

He turned his robes flashing around his ankles, and glided out of the room.

"Nice going little brother, you're barely here an hour and already in a fight, in a sanctuary of all places..." He rubbed his eyes with the palms of his hands exasperated.

Marcus walked back up about then. "I can't find Vin anywhere. He came in here with us. I tried projecting to him also, but he isn't answering."

"What was I supposed to do Ridge watch him make a pass on her? Well I'm sorry but I wasn't gonna let that happen" Rayne said to Ridge, then Marcus came with the news that Vin was missing "What do you mean he's missing check behind that flock of girls by the bar?" Rayne said to Marcus.

"He's not there. It's you're brother Roman behind that flock of girls for your info." Marcus stated fuming.

Ridge frowned. Roman had been told to stay away from Rayne and Raven while they we're here. He wondered if he had anything to do with Vincent disappearing, but he doubted it. Roman had changed under the rule of their father.

"We better start looking for him. I'll get Roman and he can look also." Ridge said looking in the direction of the bar.

"Roman's here also, it's like a family reunion or something hopefully he really has changed as you said Ridge" said Rayne glaring in the direction Roman was in. "Audrey and I'll go look also" he said to Ridge and beckoned Audrey over to him.

"You two stay together. Meet back at Mom and Dad's room in thirty minutes." Ridge told him. "Marcus come with me."

He headed over to the bar trying to get Roman's attention. He had to spill a drink on a girl to get his brother's attention. Roman glared at him, then started a little seeing Marcus standing beside him.

"I've got to go girls' duty calls." He said walking away from the girls to his brother. "What's up, what's this one doing here, thought only Rayne and Raven we're supposed to be here."

"I am standing right here." Marcus muttered.

"Protection. Sloan, Matthew, Michael, Rade, and Vin are here also, along with Audrey. Vin's disappeared though. Can you help look for him?" Ridge asked.

A look crossed Roman's face. "Yea I'll help." He said remembering the last girl that had been bartending slip something in a drink, handing it to a young blond haired boy. He hadn't looked that close, but now that he thought about it, that boy had been Vin. He headed out the door heading to his old girlfriend's room.

Rayne and Audrey began looking around and asking people if they saw anything concerning Vincent and so far they came up with nothing.

But while on their way they passed by Machen's office and heard yelling going on inside and stopped to hear what it was about.

Roman was a little pissed, he'd never cared about any of the other masters before why all of a sudden. His father's voice ran through his head and he remembered why. He strolled down the hallways. He hated these hallways. He walked up to a door knocking on it, and waited, and waited.

"Open up Collette!" He yelled. "I know you have that boy in there!"

He heard her cry out in anger before opening the door partway. "What's it to you Downing?"

"Well you see if it's the boy who I think it is, He's part of my covenant."

She swore opening the door wider. He saw her vamp teeth sticking out. "Please tell me you haven't bitten him yet."

"No I was just ready to when you opened the door." She seethed.

He looked at her scantily clad body, but turned away looking at the boy. He frowned. It was Vincent all right. He groaned going over to the boy untying him and putting his clothes back on him. "You know Collette, this is supposed to be a sanctuary. Machen finds out what you did, and you're out of here!"

"He's not going to find out though is he." She said threateningly.

"Not this time." He said glaring right back before picking up the boy and throwing him over his shoulder and walking out of there taking him to his parent's room.

Rayne and Audrey didn't get to hear what they were saying in the office and they didn't find Vin so they headed back to Rayne's parents room.

"I didn't get the chance to ask but how are you and what's new in life that I don't know about?" Rayne asked Audrey. 'By the way I missed you' he said and gave her his million dollar smile that makes the girls melt.

"I'm fine I think." She said a little rattled. "I have been wanting to talk to you about something, but I don't know if this is really the time."

She really should tell him soon, she just didn't know how. She looked up at him, and leaned in kissing him, feeling the power of love spread through them.

When they pulled apart from the lip lock Rayne smiled.

"What is it tell me now because when we go back I doubt you'll want to tell me whatever it is in front of the covenant" he said to her.

"I think you're going to be a father." She said looking anywhere but at him, blushing a little.

Rayne stopped dead in his tracks. A million things ran through his mind at the same time 'Did she just say what I think she did? I'm not sure I'm ready to be a dad we're still in school...God what are mom and dad gonna say? I love Audrey to death but I don't know if I'm ready for this...oh crap it is partially my fault I did get her pregnant besides I love her.' he thought to himself.

"Are you serious? When did this happen?" he asked her.

"I'm four months late. I've been getting sick in the mornings, and sometimes later. So I guess if I am pregnant, which the symptoms are pointing to that I'm about four months pregnant." She said leaning against the wall, and sliding down it to sit on the floor holding her head in her hands.

She wasn't ready to be a mother, why had this happened? They'd be graduating in a few months then going off to college. What did this mean for that?

Rayne walked over to his girlfriend who was currently sitting in the hallway and picked her up from the floor and pulled her against his chest.

"I'm sorry it kinda is my fault also, Corrine's here we can go ask her to check and tell what's going on we can trust her you know that." he said to her. After they went to look for Corrine to see what was really going on.

Corinne sat in her room resting for a bit after greeting her husband's parents, and checking on Raven. The baby kicked and she rubbed her hand over her stomach feeling him kick some more. She loved the feeling, and being pregnant. She'd never had any morning sickness thank god. Her heart poured out to Raven though who seemed to have it all day. Her mother had been making her eat some breakfast when Corinne had left to rest, so she knew she was in good hands. Raven had lost too much weight and she was already too little. She sensed someone coming and sat back patiently waiting to see who it was.

Rayne and Audrey stood outside Corinne's door Rayne hesitated before knocking on it. He finally knocked and waited for her to answer the door he was nervous and Audrey's death grip on his hand was making it go numb.

Corinne got to her feet, and headed toward the door sensing it was Rayne before she got there. Since she'd gotten pregnant, she'd been able to sense the brothers more than before. She'd get them mixed up once in awhile before being pregnant, it was if the baby helped her now though.

She opened the door looking at Rayne to his girlfriend Audrey. She could tell he was nervous, and the girl was frightened to death. She frowned sensing the extra aura around Audrey.

"Come in." She told them.

"Thanks Corinne, we need you help with something I think Audrey's pregnant she's just told me some stuff that basically states that it's true but I was hoping you could check to make sure" he told her "and Corinne please don't mention this to anyone" he pleaded with his sister-in-law.

Corinne smiled at the young couple. "They'll find out sooner or later, but I won't tell." She told them. It was part of being what her mother had trained her to be to keep confidentiality. "Lay down on the bed Audrey."

She knew the girl was pregnant by seeing the extra aura, but she wanted to check her out.

Rayne stood next to the bed Audrey was laying on and fidgeted nervously while Corinne got ready to do whatever she has to.

Corinne placed her hands on Audrey's stomach which was already starting to protrude a little, her eyes going black. She smiled seeing the healthy babies. The Downings definitely had strong genes. The babies we're healthy, and developing like they should be. She took her hands off of Audrey, and her eyes went back to their normal color.

"The babies are fine and healthy. You're having twins. Would you like to know the sex of the babies?" She asked smiling.

When Rayne heard what Corinne had to say about the babies and when he saw the smile on Audrey's face it was as though he forgot about all the negative thoughts he had earlier and his face also lit up with a smile.

"Sure that would be great apparently our family is growing alot more in a short space of time" he said to Corinne.

"You're going to have twin boys, and judging by what I see they will be identical like you're own brother's Rafe and Rory." She told him smiling.

She hoped that she'd put them at ease.

"Rayne, Rowan is going to have to find out sooner or later, would you like for me to be the one to tell him when we get home or whenever the time will be right?"

"Honestly Corinne I rather you tell him because with everything going on right now he might go into a coma if I tell him" he said to Corinne.

When they left the room and were walking back to Rayne's room he then remembered to ask Audrey about some things on his mind.

"This may not be the best time but let's take it light for now" he said to her, "so what are we going to name them it's up to you?" he asked her.

"I was thinking about Rayne Jr. for one and calling him RJ, the other Remington Allen." She told him smiling. "What do you think, but aren't we supposed to meet the others at you're parents room?"

"Okay I'm good with the names but let's go back to my parents' room that totally slipped my mind with everything going on" he said to her.

She leaned in to kiss him, before they headed back to his parents room. Someone knocked into her as they went by pushing her up against him and knocking him into the wall.

"Sorry scuse me." Roman said having a hard time getting down the hallway carrying Vincent over his shoulder. He hadn't seen Audrey before he knocked into her.

"What the hell!" exclaimed Rayne as the guy knocked into Audrey then sending him into the wall. Then he noticed it was his brother Roman who was carrying Vincent over his shoulder.

"Where did you find him we were looking all over" Rayne asked Roman.

"In a predicament of trouble. He's drugged at the moment. Should have been paying more attention when I knew something was happening at the bar." He said. "Could you open the door please Rayne? He's getting heavy, and my shoulder is starting to kill me."

He stood in front of his parent's door waiting for Rayne to open the door.

"Sure", replied Rayne and opened the door for roman and then he and Audrey entered.

Roman went into his parents and gently laid Vincent down on the bed. His mother hurried over fretting over him, and he explained what had happened briefly. He turned around then and froze looking at Raven sitting at the table. She turned white when she saw him.

'Shit!' He thought. He'd forgotten that she'd be in here. His view of her was suddenly blocked by Rade who was glaring at him. He sighed.

"Oh crap", muttered Rayne when he saw Raven's face and instantly saw her eyes locked on Roman.

"Rade calm down little brother Roman has apparently changed back to being good" Rayne said to his fuming younger brother.

Rade sent a glare to Rayne, before turning on Roman.

"What the hell are you doing here?" He raged. "And what did you do to Vincent?"

Rade's hands clenched into fists. He wanted to hit his brother so bad at the moment. He took a threatening step forward wanting to kill him for what he had done to Raven over the years.

Rayne went forward noticing Rade was about to hit Roman and grabbed him from behind.

"Chill out dude let's find out what really happened before we beat him to a pulp because I don't exactly trust him and I didn't forgive him either." Rayne said to Rade.

Rade tried to get away from Rayne, not wanting to hear Roman out, and his eyes turned black sending Roman backwards into the wall.

"RADE ALLEN DOWNING!" His mother cried. "Stop it now!"

Rade looked at his mother startled. He hadn't heard his full name since the day she died. He backed away from his mother's anger, but not going anywhere with Rayne right behind him.

She went to Roman helping him up. "Are you all right?"

"Yea." Roman said grimacing in pain. His mother healed him.

"Sit over there!" She told him pointing to the living area. "Rade you sit there she said pointing at the other end of the couch. "Where is Ridge?"

If you want to play with us, characters are going fast, so go to my profile and go to the site there, and on the main page of that site is the link to the rpg. Hope some of you join us. Oh and don't forget to review, let me know how you like the story the way it is going now!
