Chapter 11.

Gia: (hands Aurelio to Caius then walks up to Mimzy looking down at her) ok I don't know what happened but she was fine when I left all of a sudden she's crying so what did you say to her

Mimzy: I have no clue-

Caius: (ears flick in annoyance) I believe it's about time we head home don't you agree Gia

Gia: no I want to know what she said that was so important that she didn't care if she hurt her

Aly (walks back out and varna runs over and she picks him up) (smiles) hey baby

Varna: mama (boops her nose) don't' cry mama I fix

Gia: (grabs mimsy's collar and slams her against a wall) tell me what you told her

Also: (glares at Mimzy then grabs Gia's wrist and teleports them all to the hotel) (looks at Aly) cher?

Gia: (falls forward but catches herself) damnit

Aly: babe it's fine promise

Caius: (looks at Anthony) mon cher you're awfully quiet

Anthony: (looks at Aly) (in a soft voice) don't worry about it smiles

Caius: (looks at the kids) go play bebe's (the triplets run off and Cia looks back to the adults) Allison, Anthony what happened

Anthony and Allison sigh then proceed to tell Caius and Gia what happened

Gia: SHE WHAT

Caius: (glitching) my oldest friend and she threatens to harm you three and the fawns (starts laughing) I believe a broadcast is a bit overdue don't you think mon Cheri (my dears)

Gia: (laughs) do you need assistance?

Aly: may I join my love

Caius: Gia love I believe you'd rather not witness how I and Allison eat our meals

Gia: ok you're not wrong but that girl threatened my partner and my kids

Aly: you and Anthony can hunt her down but I And Caius will dispose of the body (smirks)

Caius: I believe she deserves a head start don't you

(As the group goes in Rosie goes in to stop and talks with them)

Caius: (tilts head with radio static going around) Rosie what are you doing here

Rosie: Caius why are you…….what happened

Aly: (explains what happened) that is why we are going to do a broadcast

Rosie: Caius put yourself in her shoes what if those three got together but not with you and had kids now I don't agree with her but isn't death a little much

Gia: (shrugs as she buckles her arrow holder on her hip) I think it's just enough if I do say so myself

Caius: Rosie I have already had my fawns put in danger today she threatened my doe's as well as my fawns I'm not willing to take that risk just like how we let Valentino live…..(looks down with regret written on his face) (whispers) I should have killed him that day (sighs)

Aly:(places a hand on Caius's shoulder) it's not your fault aimer none of us knew that he was going to do that

Rosie: plus I dragged her with me she's waiting outside she wants to talk to all of you

Gia: fine

(from Hallway)

Husk: freak in …Caius COME GET YOUR BRATS THERE MESSIN UP MY BAR

(they hear childish giggling from the hallway)

Husk: do touch that… freakin…IF YOUR KIDS BECOME ALCOHOLICS IT'S NOT MY FAULT (takes a swig of beer)

Anthony: (walks over to Husk and the kids cursing in Italian) perché Diavolo Siete the al bar? dovresti essere qui? (why the hell are you three in the bar? are you supposed to be here?) stop giving your uncle a hard time

Aurelio: but papa (has a grin much like Caius's) it's fun

Caius: (from the other room) THAT'S MY BOY

Husk: ……your kids are just like the four of ya annoying as hell (takes a swig of beer)

Alya: (looks Husk dead in the eye) *

Aly: (walks over with Caius both hearing their daughter) dammit Husk

Caius: the fact that Husk got her to say it and not Anthony astounds me

Anthony: HEY (underbreath) rude

(They all hear a knock on the door while the three of the kids tilt their heads much like Caius)

Husk: (wide-eyed staring at the kids) ….that is freaking terrifying

Gia: (walks over to the door) WHO IS IT

Mimzy: (takes a deep breath and sighs) I better not get stabbed (louder) It's me

Caius: (ears twitch and radio feedback is heard throughout the hotel) Les petits vont trouver ta tante Vaggie (little ones go find your Aunt Vaggie)

Gia: (opens the door slightly) you shouldn't be here

Caius: MIMZY

Mimzy: (goes pale) (warraly) may I come in to talk

Gia: (pulls open the door and sighs) come in

Mimzy: (walks in) I, I'm sorry for ….-

Caius: But are you? You threaten to not only harm my doe's but our fawns as well

Mimzy: Caius please I'm so sorry

Anthony: you do realize that it will take us a while to trust you right

Caius: our friendship has been deeply strained Mimzy please be careful of what you say or do around my family I can't promise you to live if you don't

Ayala: (runs over tearfully) PAPA MAMA PA MA

Caius: (picks up Ayala concern written on his face) what happened my little demon bell?

Ayala: VARNA IS HUWT

Gia: WHAT where is he

Anthony:(takes off toward Varna and Aurelio) Mio piccolo Cervo cos'è successo (my little deer what happened)

Aurelio: (serious) PA (baby Italiano) è caduto stava cercando di Volare (he fell he was twing to fwy)

Anthony: (yelling) Colomba, entra qui, potrebbe users ferito all Ali (Dove get in here he may have hurt his wings)

(Back in the main hallway)

(Caius is trying to calm his daughter down)

Caius: (holding her close and rocking her) shhh petit faon ça va ton frère ira Bien (little fawn it's ok your brother will be fine)

Anthony: CCRRAAAPPP DIA si è sotto Una delle sue Ali (DOE HE BROKE ONE OF HIS WINGS)

Aly: ……. I'm SORRY WHAT (runs over to them to try and calm Varna down so that Gia can help)

Gia: I'll get the med kit (runs then comes back with bandage wraps while glaring at mimzy)

Varna: (sobbing) (bad Spanish) (looks at Gia) mamá me duele (ma it hurts)

Gia: I know pequnio I know Ma will make it better Aly can you go get the anesthetic rub from the bathroom (sighs) I'm gonna need to stitch it

Cali: already done Colombe (dove) (hands her a sterilized needle with the anesthetics and surgical thread)

Gia: Danke shien (thank you) (takes the anesthetics)

Husk: (walks over to Caius) is the kid alright

Caius: watch Ayala I'm going to see what's going on

Husk: (takes Ayala from Ciaus and holds her)

Caius: (teleports over) (concerned) what happened is Varna all right?

Gia: (picking up a needle while patting Varna's head) shhh it's going to be ok more

Caius: I can heal him with magic aimer

Gia: (sighs) you can't heal his kind of wings

Caius: (glaring at the needle) I've healed Husker's wings just fine with magic

Gia: do his wings look like husks to you? No, I didn't think so

Caius: (folds ear's down) can I hold him at least

Gia: (shakes her head) not this time my love but you can sit with us

Caius: …. I'll go wait with Ayala and Aurelio they're probably worried about their brother (teleports back to Husk, Mimzy, Arulieo, Ayala, and Rosie)

Rosie: Caius your ears are drooped what's wrong

Caius: Varna got hurt

All of a sudden they hear a blood-curdling scream come from the room

(in the other room)

Gia: DAMMIT CALI I TOLD YOU THE ANESTHETIC RUB

Caius: (tenses and whispers a citation to put Varna to sleep until Gia is done) sleep well petite Cerf (little buck)

Gia: (comes downstairs holding varna)

Caius: (gets up and rushes over) is he awake?

Varna: (sleepily) papa?

Caius: petite faon (little fawn) how are you feeling

Ayala: V you ok?

Aurelio: (serious tone) he bwoke one of his wings wight papa?

Gia: everyone calm down he's going to be just fine

Caius and Rosie breathe a sigh of relief

Caius: (gently takes Varna from Gia and begins singing a french lullaby "Chut petit faon ne pleure pas papa va te chanter une berceuse" (Hush little fawn don't you cry papa's gonna sing you a lullaby)

(Mimzy is watching in astonishment at how Caius is acting with his son)

Gia: (smiles toward them then turns and glares at Mimzy) well I'm going to go clean up

Aly: alright Colombe (dove)

Anthony: (smiling at Caius as he's still singing) who knew dat da most feared demon in all o hell would be a good fatha

Gia: (goes to the kitchen to wash her hands) (muttering) she's the reason he's hurt if she wasn't here we would've been watching him

Anthony: (follows Gia) I thought Vaggie was with them?

Gia: I know so did i

Aurelio: with Aunt Chawlie and Uncle Lasawin

Gia: ok love (pats his head) go play with your siblings

Aurelio: ok ma bye ma bye pa

Gia: i feel like i should be doing something but i don't know what

Caius: (still holding Varna who is now asleep) Mimzy is that the only reason you're here if so would you kindly leave so I can tend to my family?

Gia: oh that's right (goes back to the living room) Mimzy unless you are going to make yourself useful please make yourself scarce

(Anthony covers his mouth to hide his laughter)

Aly: (walks over to Ciaus to take Varna) I'll put him to bed Amier

Caius: (holds Varna closer) no it's alright cher I have him

Anthony: (quietly hoping Ciuas doesn't hear) pfft he's worse than Aly when one of them gets hurt

Caius: I heard that Anthony

Mimzy: (walks closer to Caius) Caius I'm-

Caius: (growls warningly) I'm not the one you need to apologize to (flicks his ears toward Gia, Anthony, and Allision)

Aurelio and Ayala walk towards Mimzy and Caius

Caius: (looks down at them after giving Mimzy a warning glare) yes little ones

Ayala: Will you sing us to sweep papa?

Caius: of course my little foans (fawns)

Anthony, Allison, and Gia walk towards the kitchen and Mimzy follows some distance away

Anthony: mamma cervo, mamma colomba (mama deer, mama dove) wanna help me make cannolis for the fawns to have tomorrow?

Gia: (her wings flap with excitement) yeeees cannolissss

Aly: (shakes head) still gonna call me that cher?

Aly: (grabs a metal bowl to melt the chocolate in)

Georgia: (sighs) dios mio my afterlife is chaos

Aly: (sighs) agreed

Anthony: but we have each other

Caius: (comes down stairs after the fawns fall asleep) that is true my dear Anthony (sighs tiredly)

(MImzy sighs and leaves)
