Dubai RP

<GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - yawns and stretches before slipping out of silky bedcovers and over to the balcony. He pauses briefly smiling down at an adolescent fox, black and red, curled up asleep on the apartments sofa before quietly sliding open the doors and walking out into the bright morning sunshine. Blinking slightly as the light reaches his eyes Creven remains still until able to fully see properly and walks over to the railings leaning against them, admiring the view of Dubai below, the sun glittering off many roofs, the city below beginning to wake up and spring into action Creven runs a tanned hand through his fringe frowning slightly, it had become way too long, something which he would try to see to today, getting it cut, it was beginning to annoy him and was long for the heat, which he had a problem with since arriving. Suddenly disturbed from his morning thoughts by a small cough Creven glances over his shoulder, the young fox now taken on her human form stood just inside the doors, her perfectly straight just longer than waist length black hair, the last few inches tipped in bright red always caught Creven's attention before anything else. No one could deny the young girls beauty, her Arab tanned skin perfectly matching her hair and soft facial features, not to mention a figure a lot of women would kill for, and barely an adult at eighteen. Creven chuckles slightly watching her trying to work out where to look before dropping her eyes to the floor, he hadn't expected her to wake, so was simply stood in his boxers, something which would have become clear as he walked towards her and back inside, the bright light would have only revealed his silhouette from someone watching him inside. She clears her throat before walking further into the room, occasionally letting her eyes follow Creven; this was another slightly awkward situation they had both had where she wasn't sure how to act around him. "Good morning Arayi, I'm guessing you have news of some kind?" he asks with a smile draping a robe over his shoulders and sitting down on the sofa. Arayi nods, the ends of her hair mimicking a dance of flames "Yes Creven, first reports are in saying that contact has been made and all is going well," she replies brightly before adding "and good morning to yourself Creven, breakfast will be on its way up soon." she finishes glancing at her watch before watching him nod and stand. "Excellent, I think I'll go and have a quick shower, be a diamond would you Arayi and work out the full schedule and timings for today please." Creven remarks watching her nod and smile before heading towards the bathroom.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden grumbles as she opens her eyes and runs her hand through her black hair, shaking her head. It was so hot already. She glances at the time and jumps out of bed, dressing quickly and heading out of the door onto the heat soaked streets. She shields her eyes from the sun, and looks up and down the street.  She had picked up Creven’s scent the moment she had stepped off the plane and had lost it a few streets away at roughly 3am. Sighing, Jem makes her way back through the alley to continue her hunt. She wasn’t sure what she was going to say when, if, she found him. Jem growls as she walks out the alley, picking up his scent again, only this time she had picked up a woman’s scent too. Sneaking a look around the half deserted street, she frowns and folds her arms across her chest. She knew it. Another Rebecca incident. Jem turns and walks absentmindedly up the street, not caring where she ended up as she mingled with some early morning tourists. Looking up after a while she takes a deep breath and narrows her eyes. She was not in the mood for this right now. His scent was stronger, so was hers. Jem heads into the nearest hotel and slams her hands on the desk, causing the young man to jump "Excuse me, miss. Can I help you?" "Yes.. I’m looking for my husband." she growled, giving him a description and the man shakes his head "I’m sorry, no one here by that description." Jem slams her hands on the desk again, cursing in Greek under her breath as she storms back out onto the heat filled street.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Arayi) yawns slightly as she begins her work, sat at the desk comparing an iPad to a laptop, even being Kitsune she was one of the few who hadn't been afraid to embrace modern life, a seemingly  common theme for local Kitsune living in Dubai., something which Creven wanted others to see and embrace. Arayi and a range of others had agreed to help him, which was where they would be starting today, meeting local Kitsune businessmen and women. The hotel they were staying in was even run by one of the most influential men in the city, also Kitsune who had early listened to Creven and agreed to introduce him to all of the others he knew who would join. Creven had also sent a team out to the remote parts of Japan where the most traditional and some of the oldest Kitsune lived, the routes of the species and somewhere Creven wanted to personally visit himself, as soon as possible. Arayi types up the schedule sending it to Creven's email and his mobile and waits patiently for him to return.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden jumps slightly as her phone beeps. Pulling it out of her pocket she head over to the nearest bench and opens the email, frowning and rolling her eyes slightly "What the hell is this!" she half yells at her phone <Creven? I know you are about somewhere. Please just...> she stops and just slips her phone back in her pocket as she glances up and down the street a few times as she picks up a scent. An unfamiliar scent, but yet familiar. Jem stares at a woman who was staring at her, a look of confusion on her face. The woman’s lips mouth the words "Vampire." and Jem nods, a smirk on her face. The woman turns on her heels and starts to run. Jem laughs "So now he has his Kitsune friends spying on me. Maybe it should be the other way round." she mutters, running her hand through her hair, not noticing it turn back pink.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Arayi) smiles softly at Creven as he walks back into the room, his hair damp and sticking to his forehead, but dressed in cotton beige trousers and a maroon shirt which for the meantime was still unbuttoned. Arayi knew that Creven was having problems with the heat in Dubai, but always found herself slightly embarrassed when he didn't wear a lot, she couldn't deny he wasn't attractive and many had said they were envious that she got to currently live and work with him, but she had tried to tell the, all it was strictly professional and nothing more, on both sides. "Enjoying more tea Arayi?" he asks as he sits opposite her pouring himself a cup and sipping at it. "Yes....naturally now it seems, I quite enjoy it actually." she comments with a smile pouring herself a second cup watching Creven read through the email on his phone smiling before looking back up at her "This is perfect, thank you, although I think I need to fit in a haircut at some point too, this fringe is getting out of control at the moment." he comments watching her nod and smile "Well then it's a good job one of the local business women we're meeting today owns her own multisex hairdressers." Arayi says with a smile again hand Creven a breakfast pastry.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden growls frustrated, obviously not even close enough for him to hear her. Jem sighs, keeping her head down, her eyes on the floor trying not to breathe as the street gets busier. "Bloody tourists." she mutters under her breath, barely audible for herself. After a while, Jem leans back on the bench, her eyes red from the silent tears as she finally takes a deep breath. She stands up "Well, if you aren’t going to answer me, I may as well go." she whispers, knowing he was about somewhere. <Or do I have to kill someone to make you tear yourself away from whoever she is> her voice, even in her thoughts, came out as an angry growl as she slowly walks up and down the street a few times, her hand wrapped around the key hung around her neck.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) smiles across at Arayi taking the pastry and nibbling on it. He had founded some form of affection of the young girl who was serving as his PA and guide around Dubai, but he was waiting to also ask her to go to Japan with him, her guidance was brilliant and people skills excellent, she was someone he knew he could rely on. Both of their phones bleep at the same time and they read the same message, a vampire had been spotted in Dubai, a rare happening due to the heat and sunlight. Creven frowns slightly before concentrating on his thoughts, his telepathy jumbled recently due to the many Kitsune minds he had opened his own too. But his wife, Jem's presence was clearer than normal, closer, as were her messages. Creven shakes his head running his hand through his hair again. <Horizon hotel, front bar, 10mins> he quickly replies to her knowing he still had enough time to see her and try to explain things before his first meeting.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden stops and looks in a shop window and smiles slightly at the small family inside. She turns away and starts to walk off before a sharp pain hits her head, her hands flying to the spot and rubbing her temple, gasping. She snaps her head up as she stands back up "Too much sun." she explains to an elderly man who was staring at her "I think I should have worn my hat." she flashes him her dazzling smile which makes him smile and he carries on. Jem walks up and down, slightly faster, searching for the Horizon Hotel in the main high street and shakes her head. He would have chosen one away from the normal, hidden away, secluded. Jem closes her eyes to concentrate and in minutes she smiles and opens her eyes and heads into the shadows, towards the secluded area, back to where she had stayed. Jem looks to her left and lowers her head. There it was. The Horizon Hotel. Two minutes’ walk from where she had been staying. She heads towards it and smiles as the doorman opens the door for her "Can you tell me the way to the front bar?" she asks him and he nods pointing her in the direction. Jem thanks him and follows his directions and glances round, feeling rather under-dressed right now in just her summer dress and sandals. She sighs, not seeing Creven yet and orders some fresh orange from the bar before sitting down, facing the door, waiting.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - explains what was happening to Arayi before grabbing a pair of shoes and heading out of the room, down the lift and towards the bar, exchanging quick brief comments with the hotel staff. Creven heads into the bar and glances around immediately spotting Jem. He takes a deep breath before walking over and slipping into the seat next to her "Welcome to Dubai..." he comments before glancing at her with a smile "Jem, you shouldn't be here..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs as she sips her drink, glancing at the door and freezing as she spots her husband. A brief smile crosses her face as he slips into the seat next to her "Hello." she mutters, tucking her hair behind her ear and turning to face him "I shouldn’t be here? Neither should you." she stops and leans over to kiss his cheek "Why do you keep doing this? Leaving me. For days, Creven. Not telling me where you have gone. I cant stand it anymore. Things have happened." she hand flies to her stomach "More than you can imagine." she lays her hand on his cheek, locking her eyes with his as she shows him what happened with Rebecca, and the birth in the Shadows HQ. Lowering her hand, she keeps her eyes on his, fighting back tears "So much. And I needed you." she wipes her eyes quickly "I heard you and Lea in the garden of the Castle the other night." she adds.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods "I know, there’s just a lot going on right now, with things that I'm working on...its not completely safe Jem..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden tilts her head slightly "What do you mean? Something that’s more important than spending our first valentine’s day together?" she keeps her eyes on him.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods slightly "Certain sacrifices must be made...for the good of a lot of people Jem..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods "I understand." she whispers, running a hand down his cheek, ignoring the people around them "Nice place this is." she giggles slightly "Do I get to see where you are staying?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -smiles leaning into her hand "It is, and of course." he replies before standing and holding a hand out to Jem "There’s someone I want you to meet actually."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles at him "I missed you." she whispers as she takes his hand "Someone?" she questions as she pulls herself up "Would that be the woman I could smell?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -pulls Jem into a tight hug breathing in deeply before pulling away and looking into her eyes "Arayi, yes...she’s my PA here."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden slips her arms around him, nuzzling his neck and breathing deep before she locks her eyes on him as he pulls away “Your.. PA?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -nods looking deep into her eyes "Yes, personal assistant."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden keeps her eyes on him and her arms around him as she grins slightly "I thought you were..." she mutters under her breath "I’m so stupid." she looks down at her feet, embarrassed.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -blinks before laughing slightly "Jem, she’s eighteen....I would never, you know that!"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden laughs slightly at her own stupidity "I know. I just jumped to conclusions." she slips her hand into his and squeezes it "Can I meet her?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -smiles and nods "Yeah she’s upstairs."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles up at him and nods to the door “Well, Mr. Calanon, lead the way. I don’t know my way around. Although I’m sure, with my erm... senses... I could get to the room by myself." she winks.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) smiles, softly kissing her cheek before heading over to the bar door, then leading Jem to the lift.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden grins and follows behind him, raising an eyebrow at the lift.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smirks slightly calling the lift and stepping in before pressing the second to top button "Arayi has actually wanted to meet you for a while."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles up at her husband "She.. has?" she steps inside "Have you been telling people about me." she teases him.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods "Yes, mainly Arayi."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden blinks a few times "Oh." she mutters under her breath "Well, dont I feel rather stupid."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C)- tilts his head to the side before stepping out at his floor and leading Jem a little way down a corridor to the end door before opening it and stepping in.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden flicks her hair over her shoulder and follows Creven "Wait." she stops <Is she Kitsune> she asks him.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - rolls his eyes at Jem <Of course.>
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden laughs slightly "Well, I never know sometimes." she grins, catching up with him and wrapping an arm around him.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - nods and smiles before walking into the room and watching Arayi stand up quickly, her hair rippling with her movements. “Creven," she smiles over before tilting her head to the side "and Jem of course." she adds blinking in Jem's direction.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden giggles as she walks into the room and stops, staring at Arayi "Erm...Hello." she smiles slightly, keeping her arm around Creven "You must be Arayi."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - nods and smiles motioning Creven and Jem over "Indeed, please come and sit, there’s some tea which is still warm." she comments as Creven laughs and leads Jem over to the sofa to sit.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden laughs slightly as she heads over to the sofa and sitting down before looking round the room "Wow. This is nice." she looks at Creven "We could have come here for our honeymoon." She winks as she pours herself a drink.
 <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - laughs and shakes his head "Not in this heat...." he comments before pouring himself a cup watching Arayi walk across the room.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden grins slightly as she leans her head against him "Maybe not." she laughs "But the rooms nice. Are you going to show me around?" she chuckles, looking up at him and smiling sweetly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - coughs "Just a little warning on the time Creven, we have a schedule to keep to." Arayi explains looking from Creven to Jem and back again.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - nods "very quickly Jem." he replies with a quick smile.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden glances at Arayi and back to Creven, smiling more at him as she nods "Sure thing." she murmurs, brushing his fringe from his eyes "I got your schedule on my email."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - frowns looking down at Jem "Your email?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden pulls out her phone, nodding as she opens up her email "Yes, look." she hands him her phone, sighing slightly "Its all synced up to my bloody calendar too."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - frowns again "I'll get Arayi to sort that out before you leave."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods slightly "If you must." she sits back against the sofa "Wait. Leave? You mean, I have to go?" she asks, wrapping her hair around her finger "But, this place is so much nicer than where I'm staying." she grumbles slightly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - nods "Jem, its not safe for you here, and we're not staying here that much longer."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden looks up at him "You aren’t? You're coming home?" she tilts her head, almost regretting the question, and half knowing the answer, feeling stupid for getting her hopes up. "Why isn’t it safe Creven? Am I not capable of doing things? Two weeks it took for me to track you down." she hisses slightly "And now you are telling me I have to leave?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - shakes his head "I have to go to Japan...its all to do with the Kitsune, and its complicated, easier if you don’t get involved."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs and drops her hands from her hair, resting them on her knee "I knew it.." she mutters under her breath "I should have known it was too good to be true. Well, I guess it would be too much to ask if I would be allowed to stay here, just for one night." she keeps her eyes on the floor.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - shakes his head "That’s fine, but I don't want you in danger, you're better off at home Jem." he replies glancing over at Arayi.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head slightly; almost defiantly "I haven’t been home for weeks. Not since the thing with Rain." she mutters before lifting her head up and plastering a smile on her face "So, are you going to give me the tour?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - blinks and tilts his head to the side looking back at Jem before smiling and taking her hand "Sure, come this way." he replies before leading her over towards one of the bedrooms.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden takes Creven's hand and chuckles slightly as he leads her away "Creven." she giggles "Its always the bedroom with you." she winks, slipping her arm around him "Not that I'm complaining" she murmurs.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - glances down at Jem "Well there are only four rooms Jem, including the one we're standing in."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden stops and stares at him "Wow, you are being really serious right now, Creven and I dont like it. I thought a surprise visit would make you happy." she sighs "Obviously I was wrong."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - shrugs "I just have a lot on my mind, a lot of things to work out and do."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods and walks into the room "I know that now."  She smiles slightly at him "Wow, nice room. Is this yours?" she glances round it before her eyes stop at the bed.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - nods "It is, simple but stylish, this one is slightly bigger than the second, then theres the shared bathroom, main living area and balcony."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden drops her arm from round him and wanders over to sit on the bed "Ooh, its nice." she chuckles before looking back up at him "A balcony!" she widens her eyes.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - nods pointing back into the main room "yeah, its got a great view."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden giggles and stands back up and walks back to her husband and slips her arms round him and stands on her tiptoes to kiss him "I have a great view here too." she winks.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) -smiles back softly kissing Jem before looking down at his watch "I have a meeting soon."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods "I know you do." she glances at his watch "About fifteen minutes." she adds "Are you getting changed?" she grins slightly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) -shakes his head "No, I showered not long ago, and this is a causal meeting anyway."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden pouts slight, a glint in her eyes "Aww and here was me thinking I could get you out of them clothes." she teases him, not moving.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - smiles slightly before looking down "Nope...sorry Jem." he replies before walking back into the main living room.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden blinks in slight shock as she walks backwards, sitting on the edge of the bed “No. He said no.” she mutters, staring blankly at the door.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - smiles at Arayi as she hands him a folder both making quick eye contact "This meeting has to go well Creven," she whispers watching him flick through the pages before glancing quickly at the bedroom door <her presence puts many of us at risk> she thinks across to him and Creven nods <Arayi, stay here with her, and don't think about protesting, just make sure she doesnt do anything stupid.> Creven replies before reshuffling the file "And it will Arayi."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head, hearing the spoken words then silence, knowing they were taking through their minds. She knew it must be about her. Growling loudly, Jem stands up and starts pacing the bedroom flicking her eyes to the door every so often, listening to the shuffling paper, and picking up tiny sounds as she strains her ears as she mutters under her breath.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - smiles softly at the young girl before glancing at his watch again "I'll leave now, make a good impression and all that." he explains before turning around and heading back to tell Jem.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden continues to pace the room, stopping listening to any more of the conversation. Jem glances up at the door and jumps slightly as Creven appears and she stops, mid step.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - smiles at Jem before walking over to her and wrapping his arms around her "I've got to go, but Arayi is staying here."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles slightly and flicks her hair from her eyes before nodding at him "She is? What, to keep an eye on me? Make sure I dont go kill the locals." she grumbles slightly, wrapping her arms around him "Will you be long? I feel awkward being here. Shes too pretty." she pouts slightly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - tries to stop himself from laughing "Or the other way around Jem, there are hardly any vampires here." he comments before softly kissing her "She is nothing compared to you.”
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden laughs before kissing him "I know. I haven’t seen any others. Scared of the heat I guess." she grins, blushing slightly "I know, I just needed to her you say it." she pushes his fringe from his eyes, locking her bright blue ones on his violet ones, laying her hand on his cheek.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - nods and smiles kissing her again before letting go "I'll try not to be too long, but this is important." he explains before slipping out of the room, saying bye to Arayi and heading out.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods at him, smiling slightly as he heads out. Jem takes her seat back on the bed, wrapping her fingers in her hair.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - sits on the sofa and takes a deep breath looking towards the bedroom door.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden lifts her head up, hearing the intake of breath and mutters about having a babysitter.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - stands up and paces slightly wondering if she should talk to Jem, the first vampire she had met.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden flicks her hair back over her shoulder before shuffling back on the bed slightly, nervously. She had to go into the other room, She needed a cup of tea, but she was stubborn and refused to move.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - takes another deep breath before walking over to the door and knocking quietly "Hey, umm, do you want anything?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden slowly lifts her head up, her eves looking Arayi up and down. Jem nods "Some tea might be nice." she mutters.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - nods and smiles softly before walking back into the living room and pouring Jem a cup. Arayi walks back into the bedroom and hands Jem the cup before sitting a little distance apart from her
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles at Arayi as she takes the cup "Thank you." she wraps her hands round the cup, sipping it "I dont bite you k now." she chuckles slightly "Well not Kitsune’s." she takes another sip "Well. Only two." she grins, chewing her lip and seeming to disappear off to daydream world.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - nods slightly feeling a little nervous "Oh...I um, I've never met a vampire before...its kind of....odd."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden snaps back from her daydream and looks at Arayi, her eyebrows raised "You havent? Why?" she asks, folding her legs underneath her on the bed.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - motions around "Simple, none live here anymore."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods "Yeah, I did just say to Creven that I hadn’t sensed any others about. Lots of you guys though." she takes another sip of her tea.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - nods and smiles "Yes, well ideal conditions.” she explains before looking away from Jem.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden laughs slightly, almost spitting her tea out ”Its not exactly idea for me though." she grins "Creven either by the look of him."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - nods "He has had trouble with the heat..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods slowly "Yes, I did notice that." she looks at Arayi "Is he doing ok other than the heat though"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - nods and smiles "Very well indeed."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden stands up and smoothes out her dress "In that case." she starts as she walks out the bedroom "I may as well go." she huffs slightly as she sets her empty cup on the table and walks into the bathroom, locking the door behind her.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - frowns slightly realising what she had said before shrugging and walking back into the living room.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden looks up at the small shower and sighs before she stands up and manages to work out how it works. Jem undresses and steps under the water.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - glances over at the door as it unlocks and opens before smiling at the woman entering "Creven love?" she calls through as she steps into the room, her long jet black hair swept to one side in an intricate plat tipped in violet at the ends. "Hes not here Zia, gone to the meeting this morning." Arayi answers the taller woman who moves over and sits down opposite her "Shame, but I'll catch him when he comes back." Zia replies with a swift smile before sniffing the air "Whoa, vampire? who let a thing like that in here?" she says with slight disgust watching Arayi wince slightly "That would be his wife Zia..." she explains looking over at the bathroom door. Zia leans back in her seat "Well he forget to mention she was coming over here, or wait let me guess, she just turned up, unannounced?" Zia asks watching Arayi nod "Sounds like the she-wolf he's told me about, well short visit today Arayi, got to go before she finds me here, or something like that." the woman replies gracefully standing back up and walking towards the door "Tell Creven I'll meet him at the usual place." she says smiling at Arayi before closing the door behind her.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden growls slightly, hearing a new voice in the other room. Jem listens carefully as she slips out the shower, dresses quickly and storms back into the room, her wet hair dripping onto the floor. She storms over to the door as it was closing and yanks it open "And just who the hell do you think you are?" she questions "Calling me a thing and a she-wolf? You don’t know me." she looks the woman up and down, sneering slightly, her eyes jet black "Well guess what. I found you. Oh and look, it was unannounced too. Shocking hmm." she growls, warningly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Zia) - turns around and folds her arms across her chest her violet eyes glowing "Well look who it is...and your female and a wolf, I was just being scientific, Jem." she states bluntly her voice echoing slightly down the hall "You think your all that don't you, growling and sounding threatening, well it won't work with me."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden rolls her eyes and shrugs, copying the woman’s stance and staring into her eyes <I didn’t do it to make it work with you> she smirks slightly <Why are you looking for my husband> her voice snaps in her thoughts "And for your information, I’m Creven’s wife and a vampire before anything else."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Zia) - looks Jem up and down before nodding "Yes clearly...explains quite a few things actually." she remarks ignoring Jem's thoughts "Especially the vampire part." she continues before sighing "shame." she whispers before turning around and begins to walk away.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden scoffs and rolls her eyes "What’s that supposed to mean?" she shouts after her "Oh never mind. You go running to my husband and tell him you met me, I was hostile, whatever. I don’t care." she continues "You, my dear, are just plain bloody rude." she laughs and walks back into the room, slamming the door behind her and storming into the bedroom to sort her hair out, glancing at Arayi as she walks past.
   <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Zia) - smirks glancing back over her shoulder watching Jem "Completed expected and typical." she mutters to herself before continuing down the corridor.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden growls slightly as she waves her hand over her hair, instantly drying it and straightening it before she walks, calmly as she can, back to the bathroom to clean it. "Arayi, who was she?" she calls through.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - looks up from the sofa, reading through a file “Zia!" she answers simply.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden raises her eyebrows and folds her arms "I think I might need a bit more information that that Arayi. What does she want with Creven? Or am I not allowed to know?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - smiles slightly at Jem "They're good friends...I don't get involved in his personal relationships Jem."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods as she sits on the other sofa "Yeah, well I have a feeling she will be telling him." she sighs, glancing at the bedroom "I think I need a lie down."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - shrugs and nods "Go ahead."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles slightly as she pours herself a drink, heating it up in her hand "If I’m longer than an hour, feel free to wake me." she drops her head to stare at the floor as she walks into to the bedroom and shuts the door behind her, drinking the tea quickly and laying on the bed. Jem falls asleep almost instantly, having some disturbing dreams.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - sighs and quickly pulls out her phone texting Creven.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden growls loudly in her sleep, turning over and thrashing out at no one.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - blinks suddenly hearing growling from the bedroom before heading into the second one and quickly looking through the drawers.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden gasps and sits up, snapping her eyes open, not knowing where she was for a few minutes. Jem slips out of bed and into the living room for more tea, this time deciding to sit on the chair and curling her feet up. Jem frowns slightly, noting Arayi wasn’t in the room. She glances round, smelling her still in the apartment. She shrugs and sighs she wasn’t making a good impression. On anyone. <I’m sorry Arayi.> Jem stares at the curtains and tilts her head as she slowly gets up and walks over to them. Opening them slightly she gasps, a smile appearing on her face. She had found the balcony. Jem opens the door and slips outside, seating herself in a chair, her face peering over the balcony edge, just watching the people of the town go about their busy lives, none of them knowing they were so close to a vampire. Jem chuckles and leans back in her chair, keeping her ears open, listening for the return of her husband followed by the possible argument.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - shrugs watching Jem before busying herself within her work. Creven returns about two hours after leaving laughing with someone in the corridor before pushing the door open and stepping in running a hand through his hair, much shorter than before, both eyes clearly visible under a shorter fringe, the whole cut choppier than before, but the violet as vivid as ever.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head, trying not to growl as she hears the voices in the hallway a few hours later, recognising one of them. Jem toys with the idea of going back inside and shrugs, deciding against it right now, having fun listening to peoples conversations on the street below. She sits perfectly still, not making a sound.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - smiles as he lays his eyes on Arayi "Hey, all sorted they'll help, went perfectly!" he exclaims clearly pleased and the young girl smiles up at him "Creven thats great, and nice hair cut." she remarks walking around him. Creven shrugs "Thanks, couldn't deal with the length, not in this heat." he replies with a smile glancing around "Zia was here?" he asks slightly confused looking back at Arayi who nods shyly. "Yes, not for long, she was looking for you but left when she realised Jem was here, they had a small argument in the corridor." she explains before pointing over the balcony doors "Go gently Creven." she says with a hint of encouragement watching him walk over to the doors.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden scoffs slightly, listening. She noted the change of tone in Cravens voice, the lowered tone in Arayi's and opens her eyes as the doors open fully "Seems I was possibly wrong about you and Arayi, wasn’t I." she mutters, closing her eyes again, keeping as calm as she could, even though her voice was shaky "Someone came looking for you, Creven, love." she mimicked Zais words and her voice, to a tee. "Nice." she muttered.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - bites his lip as he walks out onto the balcony "In what way Jem?" Creven asks simply walking over and leaning on the rails, glancing back over his shoulder at her "Please, enlighten me and yes, I believe you had the pleasure in meeting Zia, shes quite a charmer isn't she." he remarks before looking out over the city below.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden opens her eyes slightly, watching him "Yes I have the lovely pleasure of meeting her. So, telling everyone I’m a she-wolf are you? Nice to know what you really think of me isn’t it?" she runs her hand through her hair, turning it shorter but still keeping the colour "You have a date to get ready for apparently. Wouldn’t want to keep her waiting would you?" she shakes slightly, even in this heat, and watched the goosebumps appear on her arm.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - shakes his head and sighs without turning back around "I told her you had a wolf form, Zia is very blunt, straight to the point no messing around, its quite refreshing sometimes." he states before turning around and shrugging "Yeah, perhaps I do, excuse me while I go and change,"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden stands up quickly and is stood in front of Creven as quick as a flash "Blunt! She called me a thing, Creven. Blunt is not the word. Rude is." she tilts her head "You had your hair cut." she smiles slightly up at him "I like it." she turns away from him and wanders slowly back inside, wondering what was happening to her marriage as she heads to the bedroom and lays down on the bed.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - nods glancing over his shoulder "Yes, and thanks." he replies before heading over to the wardrobe looking through it.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden props herself up on her elbows and watches Creven "Who is she?" she asks, right to the point.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - continues to look through the wardrobe before pulling out two shirts, one white the other pale blue. Creven walks across to the mirror and places them both in front of himself before turning around to face Jem "Pale blue with white trousers I'm thinking, would you agree?" he asks avoiding her question for now.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shrugs at him, watching his reflection through the mirror "Sure whatever you think." she mutters "Personally I'd prefer you to turn up without them on, but that's just your wife's opinion."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - rolls his eyes replacing the white shirt back in its place and pulling his own over his head before slipping into the pale blue, a deep contrast between the colour and his hair. Creven looks across at Jem and shakes his head.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden chuckles slightly at his reaction, shrugging "That ones nice. I haven’t seen it before." she says, trying to lighten the tension a bit.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - nods "Yeah, actually Zia brought it for me." he comments rolling the sleeves up slightly again glancing at Jem before moving in front of the mirror and ruffling his hair.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden scoffs and lays her head down on the pillow, turning her back on her husband to hide the steady flow of tears that had started, yet again "I came here Creven, hunted you down for weeks, to tell you about our baby. I even showed you the birth, in the Shadows." she sobs "And not once have you asked anything about it. And yes I said it, because I don’t even know what I had before it disappeared." she wipes her eyes "So excuse me if I’m slightly emotional right now."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - nods and turns around quickly his eyes turned completely violet "And thank you Jem for the lack of trust you have for me!" he snaps breathing deeply "Oh yes another pregnancy, I've been running that memory over in my mind making sure its real! How could you let it happen again!" he yells as Arayi runs in "Creven don't...please...just stop now!" she yells over to him watching his every move, clearly seen something like this before.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden turns round to face him, her eyes black "How could I let this happen? There are two of us in this marriage, Creven! Maybe if you answered you god dammed phone to me once in a while, you might be kept up to date on the family happenings!" she yells back at him from the bed. "As for trust, I have trust. Maybe more than other wives have to put up with. Creven." she lowers her voice, breathing deeply to calm down as she gets off the bed and slowly walks over to him, cautiously, as she stops in front of him "I love you, you know that. Its just hard for me to know you are working with other women when you are away from me." she looks down at the floor.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - laughs and shakes his head "I was using my dead father's advice and trying to take precautions!" he begins folding his arms his eyes suddenly turning jet black completely. "Oh yes I know about my late-father, thank you for your support on that issue, and how your Son murdered him." he spits beginning to walk around her in a circle before stopping back in front of Jem tilting her chin up to look directly into her eyes "Trust Jem, that’s all I ask, but no you can't give me that, perhaps I have slept with Zia, our meetings could be secret romantic rendezvous who knows...but I never make the same mistake twice I'm sure you know that."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden freezes on the spot at his words "I didn’t know you knew Creven." she mutters before growling slightly "He was compelled Creven, by Rebecca" she spits "Now the whole of Lucas's team is hunting him down. And he is OUR son!" she looks into his eyes, slightly in shock at the black as she lies her hand on his "I do trust you. It’s them I don't trust." she blinks; flushing pink as she realises Arayi is still in the room, having witnessed everything "Go, Creven. Go to the meeting, whatever it is. I will be here waiting for you when you get back, if you want me to be, that is."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - glares down at Jem before letting go of her "He is no son of mine any longer." he comments bluntly folding his arms again” He was weak Jem! Lucas's team will find him I can promise you that! He won't be able to hide from them for long." Creven shakes his head walking across the room looking up at Arayi before returning his attention back onto Jem "I'm not so sure any more Jem, perhaps I don't." he suggests with a shrug.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden stares at Creven, hurt in her whole face. She didn’t think it would have hurt so much if he slapped her again. She turns her head away from him "Yea he was weak. But name one time when you weren’t weak when it came to a woman." she snaps slightly as she turns her head back to Creven at the door, blinking, disbelieving at his words "You don’t...mean that..." she whispers "Do you?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - laughs again "Oh yeah Jessie? Umm, managed to snap back to being myself to stop from killing someone, someone who I didn't even know!" Creven yells again before shrugging "Perhaps my life would be better without you, I would certainly get things done easier, not having to worry about your sensitivity, needing to stick your nose into everything, general annoying habits the constant need for my undivided attention, the jealously and the over reactions every time I talk to another woman! Bloody hell you'd think I've secretly married and have kids with a hotel receptionist if I just asked her to send up a newspaper!" he rants pacing around slightly. Arayi sighs and leans against the door frame just watching the scene in front of her seemingly not bothered by the whole affair. "So do I mean it? Ask me in the morning when you've stopped acting like a spoilt child." he sneers before turning around and begins to walk past Arayi out of the room.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head "I wasn’t on about Jessie and you dammed well know it" she yells, turning her nose up at her name "You hate me, I know. I don’t stick my nose into everything. You are pretty much the only family I have left, Creven. You, Lea and Rain. That’s it. I can’t help but be concerned when you don’t answer a phone call when I hear about a Kitsune being killed" she yells after him, her voice breaking slightly as she sinks to the floor, determined not to cry as his words hit her like sharp knives, slowly killing her inside.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - turns around "yes Rebecca! I know, and guess what? That was actually my choice!" he yells before turning back around and running from the room leaving Arayi stood in the doorway. The girl sighs and tucks a strand of hair behind her ear before walking back into the living room, she had been expecting something like that from Creven, his powers had been growing recently, more than when he had first arrived, certain emotions were stronger, his colours also changed in certain moods. Part of Arayi's job was to help him control the power, after doing the same when one of her own family members had absorbed some of the raw ley line power, everything about Creven was heightened, which made him perfect for his current job.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head, sobbing "I wasn’t on about her either" she calls out, not realising he had left "I was on about me." she whispers through her sobs "Well I know you wont be going back to her" she spits, angrily "She’s dead." she wraps her arms around her knees, resting her chin on them, letting the tears flow down her cheek, frozen to the spot and shaking slightly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Arayi) - pulls her phone out of her pocket sending a quick message before walking back into the room and looking down at Jem "Jem, there’s a lot you don't know about Creven anymore, a lot he didn't even know himself, until very recently...and you probably don't even care about it all right now and are probably ignoring me, but if you want to see your new born again you will have to listen to me at some point." she remarks before handing Jem and tissue and standing up.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden growls and turns her head to face Arayi, her eyes still black, but red from crying "You...you know where my baby is?" she asks "What’s the point. He doesn’t want me anymore. You saw how he was just then. He hates me, Arayi. And who can blame him. He’s right. I’m too sensitive; too demanding for him." she scoffs slightly "Maybe he would be better if I weren’t here. Getting in the way all the time. Interfering. Everything he said was true." she takes a tissue and wipes her eyes, staring blankly at the wall.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Arayi) -nods "Perhaps it is Jem, I'm not one to judge, yes I know where the child is, and I know what happened...and I know what is happening to Creven, hence why I'm his PA, there is much to tell and discuss." the young girl explains, the red of her hair shimmering in the light as she walks around the room pulling the curtains closed and sitting on the edge of the bed checking her phone again as Zia walks in, arms folded, hair half-up on one side "I got your message Arayi...but I don't think I'm welcome here, at all."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden listens to Arayi slightly before hearing the door shut "If that’s him back, I’m going." she mutters as she stares at the door ”Zia." she huffs slightly "Don’t you have a date with my husband." she snaps, her eyes narrowed "Wouldn’t want you to waste your time in here with a she-wolf and a thing like me would we." she growls.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Zia) - leans her weight onto one leg "Creven is with the owner of this fine establishment, its better those to talk right now, Jerik is more objective than I am." Zia explains walking across the room after shutting the door "I'm guessing Creven hasn't told you anything about us then?" she asks as Arayi tuts "Sorry Ara just couldn't resist saying it." Zia continues before offering Jem a hand to help her up "Not really but it can't be helped and our young friend here is correct, I'm just not sure where to begin."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shrugs slightly at Zia "I don’t care if he is with the owner of the bloody Taj Mahal." she keeps her eyes on Zia, a snarls passing her lips "Trust me when I warn you not to push me right now, Zia." she ignores the hand offered to her, preferring to stand on her own "What do you both mean?" she folds her arms.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - glances from Zia to Jem "Half of Creven's family is Kitsune as you know, well...you're looking at part of that half," she begins looking directly at Zia who takes her hand back and folds her arms "I believe I should actually thank you for killing my mother, Nikia...Creven is my cousin." she states sitting down next to Arayi "Cousin of Royal blood too...typical how the emperors oldest daughter managed to fall in love with a human..." she explains with a slight sigh looking slightly bored.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head, confused. She smirks slightly at Zia "Ah, Nikia. Some of my best work." she laughs slightly under her breath. "I’m sorry, I don’t follow."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Arayi) - stands up and turns to face Jem "Creven's mother, Azami, was the daughter of the Kitsune Emperor...part of the Royal family, they never used to have much power, finding it more democratic to let the high council deal with matters of state, it was fairer and more approved by the people, but now that the council has fallen our people are looking back to the ancient and trusted rulers of our species, the Emperor and his family. The Emperor died a week before you sealed the ley lines...Creven is the sole heir to his succession." she explains before back across at Zia "And the power absorbed by the ley lines has made him fully Kitsune, his DNA has been changed, nothing human left anymore, therefore our people fully accept him and want his leadership, they also believe he has been blessed by the ley line power which has given him so much more power."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden stares, slightly open-mouthed at them both "So basically, whatever happens, now he is fully Kitsune, there is a huge chance I'm going to loose him." she runs her hands through her hair, turning it back long again. She nods, and scans around the room for her bag "He knows what I will do if he leaves me." she keeps her gaze from the two other women as she chews her lip.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Arayi) -shakes her head "I don't think he will, he's just dealing with a lot, there’s a lot of expectations on him, people trying top stop him etc including those in the different dimension who have your child." she explains before Zia takes over "Jem, Creven is all over the place at the moment, he needs time, time to sort everything out, you jumping straight in wasn't helping, he wasn't  ignoring your calls, I've been having them diverted to my phone, we needed him concentrating on the here and now, on what his duties demand of him.”
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden scoffs slightly as she starts walking over to her bag "You could have sent me one message, Zia. One. Even if it were to say he was in a meeting or something. Put my mind at ease. He isn’t the only one going through things." she snaps shaking her head slightly "Why do people always want my kids!" she screams at them both.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Arayi) -jumps slightly before shrugging. Zia shakes her head "Perhaps, but you would have just ran over here quicker..." she says with a sigh "Creven will make a great leader Jem...and now that’s what he needs to concentrate on, that’s what every living Kitsune needs him to be."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sinks onto the bed, her bag in her hands "This is it, isn’t it." she whispers staring at the floor "Its over. He’s not going to be the same again." she sniffs, staring at the band on her finger.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Arayi) -wraps her arms around Jem and shakes her head "No, he's going to need you, going to need support..which he can't get from us." she explains and Zia smiles softly "Ara is right Jem, Creven is at his strongest and weakest points right now, you know how he used to be, where his faults are, we need you to make sure he doesn't fail."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head "How can I? How can I do that when he doesn’t think I can trust him? He will just think I’m sticking my nose in" she mimics his words, in his voice. "He doesn’t need me. He sure as hell doesn’t seem to want me anymore." she blinks, watching a tear fall from her eyes and hit her ring and watching it glow briefly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Zia) - sighs and paces the room "Since when were you a quitter Jem?" she asks folding her arms "Just talk to him normally without accusing him of anything...need I remind you foxes mate for life."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden rolls her eyes slightly "I’m not a quitter. I have never been a quitter. It’s just. Well there doesn’t seem like there’s anything worth fighting for now. I love him Zia but he hates me. He hates me and I can’t stand it." she glares at her, eyes flickering as they change colours rapidly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Zia) - shakes her head "I have seen into the depths of Creven's mind, hate is far from the emotion he has for you."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden lays her hands on her knees and drops her eyes from Zia "He sure as hell didn’t show it earlier. His words, the way he spoke to me, Zia, they hurt me, they almost killed me." she sighs before wiping her eyes. Jem blinks, her eyes glazing over and turning a bright green. She stares at her house, a place she hadn’t been in over forty years. She had changed. Her hair wasn’t pink any more. The stress and heartbreak she has been through had changed it bright white. Her eyes were bright red from the last meal she had a few days ago. Jem takes a deep breath and slowly starts walking up the long drive, towards the derelict building. The paint was peeling; some of the windows had been smashed in, probably by the local kids. She pushes the door open, watching it crash to the floor falling off its hinges. Jem stands in the doorway and takes a deep breath, watching the dust fly madly from when the door hit the floor. Jem wanders around the downstairs, throwing her bag at the foot of the stairs, heading into the front room and leaning on the door frame. Taking the time to run her hands down the rotten wood, her eyes flick round the dust filled room that was completely empty. No furniture, even the carpets has been taken. She sighs. Everything she had worked hard for had just gone. After a while, Jem heads upstairs to her bedroom, again just standing in the doorway. Shaking her head, and unable to make it any further into the room, she heads down the hallway to what was once the kid’s room. She stands in Coran’s bedroom and bursts into tears. Lucas and his team had found him, years ago. She had been tracking them for weeks before hand and had been stood in the woods as the killed him. She had howled as Coran hit the floor, laying still. Jem had run out of the woods, giving away her cover and shifting to her wolf form as she skidded to a stop next to her eldest child’s body, growling ferociously at anyone who tried to get close. Jem had laid her head on her son’s chest, whining, willing him to come back, and tears falling from her wolf eyes. She had stayed there until his body had disappeared decomposed underneath her, melted into the ground. A few days after this, Jem had regained some slight composure, standing up and growling as she shifted back to her human form, marking the ground with magic, protecting the area from being discovered by anyone but herself and her family. She had turned on her heels and headed off into the town, a small part of her humanity was left. She needed to move on. She did, for a while at least, until she heard the voice of Creven in her head a few years later. She was walking home to her small apartment, shopping in her arms. She dropped it all, in slow motion, her hands reaching out for support from the nearby wall, gasping for breath as she crashed to the ground. No one stopped to help her, to see if she was ok. She came round, snapped out of it a few minutes later, having not though of her husband for a few years. Scanning the area, she stands up frowned and hurried home. Breathing deep grabbed a bottle from the fridge, draining the blood inside it quickly, trying to locate the source and direction of where Creven voice had come from. A few hours later, and nursing a huge headache from searching for his mind, she walks out on to the streets. The small backstreet town in southern USA still couldn’t get his voice from her thoughts, even after all this time. She pulls her phone out of her pocket as it beeps. She frowns slightly; the name on the screen was a name she hadn’t heard for a long time. Kana. She opens the message and tears stream down her face as she sends a three lettered word back "Yes" and heads out to a side street. She didn’t care about anything else right now. That could wait. This couldn’t. She scans round and disapparates out, back to England, into the car park behind the local Tesco. She sighs and scans round for Kana before closing her eyes and searching for his mind. She finds him almost immediately and runs to him, skidding to a stop as she sees him, Kana, kneeling down on the floor. The body next to him, pouring with blood from the mans chest. A gunshot wound. Jem slowly looks up, recognising the jeans, the boots the jacket. Her eyes stop at the face, the hair. Black and tipped in violet, dull violet now though as Creven lay there slowly dying. He throws Kana a look and Kana shrugs "I had to mate." Jem runs to him, grabbing his hand, not caring if he wanted her to or not. "Creven? Please." she sobs, kissing his cheek "I’m sorry. Whatever I did, I’m sorry." Creven reached up to run his hand over her cheek, and she leaned into it <I never stopped loving you> he smiled at her before taking his last breath. Jem burst into tears, his hand dropping from her grip. She shakes her head, returning back to Coran’s room and walking back out, towards Creven office. Opening the door she sees only the desk was left. Tilting her head and wiping her eyes she walks over, spotting something on it. Creven’s wedding ring. Jem grabbed it, slipping it onto her own finger and walking down the stairs. The dust had settled from the door crashing to the floor. Jem sits on the bottom step, staring at it. She refused to feed, growing weaker every day, breathing only when she had to. She was patient, she had to be. She was immortal, but she knew without blood, she would die eventually. She had time. She had nothing but time. Nothing else was needed to be done. She breathes slowly, waiting for death to take her and reunite her with her husband after so long. Jem gasps, her eyes turning blue as she finds herself back in the bedroom of the apartment in Dubai, barely able to see through the tears that had started almost the same time as her vision had. She glances at Zia and Arayi, aware they were staring at her in slight shock, before lowering her head, waiting for the questions to start
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - blinks watching Jem tilting her head to the side "Erm are you okay?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head slowly "Not really, Arayi." she mutters, shaking slightly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - nods watching Zia stand up and pace around the room "Why?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden snaps her head up; just able to make Arayi out through her tear filled eyes "I had a vision. I saw Creven die."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (z) - turns sharply around "That must be far in the future."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden looks over at Zia and nods "It was. I can show you. If you want."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Z) - shakes her head "I'm very well versed on the future and find it actually takes away the whole point in living."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods and looks over at Arayi, raising her hand slightly "Arayi?" she questions. "It seemed to be a different future. Hard to explain."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - nods before shrugging "Everything effects and changes the future, even the smallest of events."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden stands up and walks over to Arayi, her hand outstretched "Let me show you." she half begs her "Then maybe someone can block it." she adds in a lowered voice.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - glances down at Jem's hand and bites her bottom lip "I err... okay..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles slightly "I’m not going to hurt you. Its just something I learned. How to share my visions, dreams, things." she lays her hand on Arayi’s cheek, keeping her eyes locked on hers as she replays the vision.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - nods blinking slightly, used to a different way of playing visions. She tilts her head to the side watching the vision, raising her eyebrows slightly before nodding "I can block or even remove the vision easily."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden lowers her hand as she ends the vision at her own death, fresh tears flowing down her cheeks "Please Arayi. I dont want to see that again." she mutters, lowering her head, feeling rather stupid, hugely embarrassed and humanly weak as she tries to stop crying.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - nods keeping the eye contact with Jem, slipping a ring off her finger and gently pressing it against her temple. Arayi blinks before smiling "Done."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden raises her eyebrows and lets out a heavy sigh before sinking back onto the bed "Thank you." she whispers, wiping her eyes quickly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - smiles again and shrugs "Anytime." she explains watching Jem carefully.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden flicks her eyes over to Zia who was stood watching her. Jem smiles slightly at her "Zia. I’m sorry I was so rude to you earlier."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Z) - shrugs turning around and folding her arms "Its fine, I wouldn't have expected any less."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden raises her eyebrows "Meaning what exactly?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Z) - smiles trying not to laugh "Well, it was a small test, something I wanted to try."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden pulls her legs up onto the bed "Care to explain? Did I pass your test?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Z) - shrugs "Yes you did."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden keeps her eyes on Zia, confused and intrigued at the same time "I don’t follow."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Z) - smiles and shrugs "I was testing your loyalties to Creven."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles slightly "My loyalties to Creven won’t go away. No matter what happens Zia." she blinks a few times "All you had to do was ask me."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Z) - nods and shrugs again "Well, I have a certain style..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden laughs and nods "Well that I have noticed." she flicks her eyes to the door.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Z) - smirks before smiling.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden runs her hand through her hair, glancing between Arayi and Zia, feeling like she was being interrogated. She picks at her nails, nervously.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - smiles softly at Jem before standing up "Tea?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods her head "Tea would be lovely, Arayi. Thank you." she smiles.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - nods and walks into the main room, making some tea for the three of them.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden watches Arayi walk out the room and turns to Zia "So how long is Creven going to be like this?" she asks.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Z) - shrugs "Rest of his life probably...the mood swings will settle after a little while though."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods slightly and lowers her head "I just made it worse though don’t I, showing up like I did, accusing him." she sighs.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Z) walks over and sits down next to Jem "That’s hard to say...."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden watches Zia sit down "No, it’s not hard to say. He made himself perfectly clear." she tucks her hair behind her ears "I didn’t mean to make him mad, I hate when he shouts at me like that." she lowers her head "Everything he said was right." she mumbles.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Z) - nods and shrugs again "He's changed recently Jem, more blunt, more like me..." she explains.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden lifts her head up and laughs "Yeah, Zia. You are pretty blunt." she chuckles before looking over at her "Well I guess I should be grateful. At least I don’t have to wonder what he is thinking all the time now, do I"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Z) - shakes her head "Oh no, he'll tell you...I can assure you of that."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods "Yeah. I gathered he would. That’s what I’m slightly scared of." she glances at the door again and sighs.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Z) - smiles "I only ever get good feelings about you from him."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden turns back round to face Zia, a huge smile on her face "Really? I wish I could get into his head sometimes." she wraps her hair around her finger "He knows how much I love him, right?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Z) - nods and smiles "As much as he does you."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden feels her smile growing as her cheeks flush with colour "Good. Thats good." she whispers, staring down at her wedding band.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - walks back in with a tray carrying the tea "Of course it is."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden jumps at the sound of Arayi's voice, smelling the sweetness of the tea "Wow. Way to give a vampire a heart attack" she laughs, helping herself to a cup.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - smiles letting both the other women take a cup before placing the tray on the side and helping herself "Actually some nights he wouldn't stop talking about you..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden giggles before taking a sip of her tea "Nice tea making skills Arayi" she smiles "Talking about me? All good things I hope." she chuckles.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) nods and smiles sipping her own. "Naturally." she answers as Zia laughs "Well mostly..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden bursts out laughing "Well I'm not saying I'm a saint." she sips some more of her tea to try and stop laughing before looking over at the door "How long is this meeting going to take?" she asks "I need to apologise to him. A lot."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Z) - laughs "He’s told us a few intimate things we didn’t need to know either...This one? About an hour."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden grins and chews her lip "Yeah...erm...well..." she falters slightly, giggling "So he should be back soon?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Z) laughs again "Yeah, unless he gets distracted by talking to someone, which is highly likely."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden wraps her hair round her finger of her free hand, clutching the empty cup tight in the other "What am I doing to say to him?" she murmurs, more to herself.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Z) - watches Jem simply sipping her tea.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden stands up and sets her empty cup down on the cabinet "He always gets distracted by talking to someone." she rolls her eyes as she sits back on the bed "Quick question though. Why does my magic not work in here? I tried apparating out, tried my fire power. Nothing."


<GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - paces around the plush office, his arms folded, a frown across his brows. "Just calm down Creven." a man's voice says again from behind the desk before straightening his suit and standing up. This hadn't been the first time that the hotel owner had seen Creven in this mood, but as normal it concerned him, he had been the one who know the truth about Creven and therefore found that it seemed to be his personal responsibility to look after him, make sure he became the man, person, that the Kitsune people needed. So much so that Seb had asked his own niece to work as Creven's PA. Seb sighs watching Creven and runs a hand through his black, orange tipped hair which he had kept short, he was trying to work out how to deal with Creven's latest mood swing, but this was more difficult than before. "Creven sit down....now." he orders watching as a reluctant Creven sits in the chair opposite him "Seb, all of this is driving me crazy, I do something right but apparently its wrong, will anyone ever be happy with what I'm doing?" he asks leaning his forehead on the desk in front of him. Seb shrugs leaning forward in his own chair "I can't answer that Creven, but you are doing the right thing for the, your, Kitsune people, you know that...Jem...will understand in time...or..." he stops watching Creven sit back up in front of him "Or yeah...things wont work between us, she goes back to England and has to move on, and I have to do the same..." Creven finishes with a sigh "I don't want that to happen Seb, Jem is part of my life and always will be, I want to explore this new life I have with her..." Creven explains looking over at his friend and somewhat teacher to an extent. Seb nods "I know Creven, but things may be difficult for her to adapt to, not to mention the Kitsune’s having to get used to her...some wont be impressed, our leader married to a vampire, but in time they may adapt...they will follow you but will complain..." Seb explains his eyes still fixed on Creven "The choice is yours, I can only guide and advise Creven." he finishes before standing up and walking over to his bookshelf. Creven nods listening to him before watching him, tilting his head to the side in curiosity "What are you looking for?" he asks quizzically as Seb starts to search the bookshelf. "Something your mother entrusted to me, well actually your grandmother...your mother's starball Creven...its here somewhere..." he replies as he continues to search the shelves "Oh and just to let you know, Omar, your personal bodyguard arrives later today, tomorrow perhaps...in many ways your already very familiar with him." he stops and pulls a book out of the shelf, which he passes over to Creven. "Omar? Wait doesn't Kana have a grandson called Omar?" Creven asks taking the book and opening it only to find its purpose was actually a box, deepened on the inside by magic. "Yes the very same," Seb says with a smile watching Creven stretch his hand into the box and pull out a glowing orb the size of a bowling ball "Wow." Creven mutters turning it around in his hands "Your mother managed to create this before she died, in recent times Kitsune have never bothered storing large amounts of their power and energy, many of the largest starball aren’t in this dimension, but a separate one, where us supernatural’s rule." Seb explains as Creven looks back up and nods "I'm still not sure I believe you about that, it doesn't seem possible..." Creven remarks as Seb laughs "Creven, we're both foxes, have unimaginable power over minds, can whole places which aren't real for people, tricksters’...there’s witches and wizards controlling all the elements with their powers, Gods...its just the same as the realm of the Gods, just on a slightly different level, a level which you will have to pass into, mainly to prove who you are, recover a certain amount of Kitsune items and save your latest child..." Seb continues as he sits back down again. Creven nods turning his attention again back to the orb in his hands "So why did my grandmother give this to you?" he asks rotating it around. Seb shrugs folding his arms "No idea, she just came in the dead of night, gave it to me, told me who it had belonged to and said that if you ever became fully Kitsune I should find you and give it to you...she then returned to Japan." he explains watching Creven again. "Do you think she knew that all this would happen?" Creven asks glancing quickly up at Seb who shakes his head "Even the greatest foreseer can't predict everything Creven, the smallest event can change the future, as you well know." Creven laughs slightly and nods "Too well...by why this specific amount of power?" he asks, full of questions. Seb smiles, unfolds his arms and leans on his desk "Now that is something I can answer, that ball contains the exact amount of power needed to travel to the Third Level, the first, country of the other dimension. Its split into three, the Third, Second and First Levels, each increasing in wealth, power as you travel up them. This ball can open the gates to the first one." Seb explains fixing his eyes on Creven's as he looks up, exchanging an image, a diagram from an old book depicting what he was talking about "You know a lot about these Levels." Creven comments a hint of accusation in his voice. Seb nods and shrugs "Part of my families’ tradition in serving the Royal Family, your family, is to also be the secret keeps, amongst a group of others, about the specifics of the Levels, nearly all Kitsune are aware of them but many believe they are myth, when in fact they are as real as you and me." Seb responds, pride lacing his words. Creven nods and smiles at his response "So Sebastian, Council, Kingsman and Friend, when do we bare arms and brave this new world?" Creven asks, a smile crossing his face. Seb stands up, walks around to Creven's side and kneels on one knee before looking up at Creven "As soon as Omar arrives my Lord."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden flicks her eyes from Zia to Arayi and sighs slightly before she stands up and starts pacing the room, watching the door from the corner of her eye every so often "I need to work out what’s happening" she mutters, going to shove her hands into her pockets before realising that she has none in the dress and rolling her eyes at herself.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - nods and smiles "Yeah, I know it’s a lot to take in Jem, but it will all work out." She says reassuringly as Zia walks over to the door "Creven should be back soon." she states clearly a link between their minds to receive the information on his presence "With Seb." she replies turning to face Arayi, a slightly confused look across her face.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods at Arayi's words "A hell of a lot to take in" she mutters, watching Zia "Seb?" she frowns, sitting back on the bed, millions of things flying in her head. Confusion and hurt mostly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - wraps an arm around Jem before nodding at Zia who folds her arms and sighs. "You explain he's your uncle" she explains before walking back into the living room. Arayi smiles at Jem before standing and offering her a hand "Sebastian, my Uncle, owner of this hotel and Kingsman to Creven, basically his right-hand man...literally." she explains simply.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden raises an eyebrows at Zia’s sudden change of attitude again and leans her head on Arayi's shoulder, letting out a small giggle “He has a right hand man?" she grins "He wont like that at all." she shakes her head, a grin on her face "He doesn’t even seem keen on the house elves at home."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (A) - laughs and smiles "Well, he doesn't have a choice and Seb seems to be the only one who can keep him in control...calm him down etc." she says before walking into the living room, hearing the door open as Creven walks back in with Seb following him.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods, as if she understood. She sits back up at Arayi walks back into the living room and lets her eyes follow her, smelling Creven walk into the room with an unfamiliar person. Jem runs her hand through her hair and waits in the bedroom, pulling her feet up onto the bed. She didn’t want to be in the way, not if he was going to yell at her again.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - looks around the room and frowns "Where’s Jem?" he asks before taking a deep breath and walking towards the bedroom, clearly smelling her. Zia mumbles a quick greeting at Creven before leaving the hotel room and walking off down the corridor. Seb smiles and hugs Arayi watching Zia before turning his attention back to Creven.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden watches the door for a few seconds before she calls out "I’m in the bedroom" and letting out a sigh, lowering her eyes, wondering if she should hug him if he came in or just stay sat where she was. She decided on the latter, thinking it was for the best.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - walks into the room and over to Jem pulling her to her feet and wrapping his arms around her before quickly kissing her cheek "Sweet Jem, come through to the living room, there’s someone I want you to meet, and I have so much to tell you." he explains quickly before walking off into the living room.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden blinks, hugging him back, slightly surprised "Erm, ok." she mutters before walking over to the mirror to make herself look as decent as possible. She grabs her bag and pulls out some makeup and starts to reapply it lightly and runs her hands through her hair. Jem sighs and walks into the living room, stopping a few feet from Creven, chewing her lip nervously.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - glances over his shoulder, before walking over to Jem and wrapping an arm around her "Seb, this is Jem, my wife." he begins with a smile, kissing her cheek again before guiding her over to the sofa "Jem, Seb has something interesting which I think you will be very interested in."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden tenses up slightly as Creven wraps an arm around her and kisses her cheek. She looks up at him quickly, her eyes flicking over his face before she looks over at Seb as she sits on the sofa "Hi" she tries to smile at him, still not sure what was going on. She glances back at Creven, frowning slightly <What, no apology?> her thoughts grumbled at him before returning her eyes to Seb.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - sighs slightly <Sorry, but this will make it up, I hope.> he explains before looking over at Seb who sits opposite them both "Pleasure to meet you Jem, and Creven is talking about me being able to get you into the correct dimension to find and rescue your latest child." Seb explains simply, leaning back and folding his arms, keeping his eyes on Jem.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods as she leans her head on Creven, listening to Seb. At the mention of her newborn she starts shaking, her hand reaching for her husbands and squeezing it tight. She just nods, not wanting to speak.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - softly squeezes Jem's hand back smiling down at her. "We have a way to open one of the gates to allow us to pass into the Third Level of a different dimension, from there we will have to work out where your newborn is, I'm guessing it will be on the First Level, so we will somehow have to make our way there, Creven's status should allow us to do so fairly easily."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden stares at Seb before looking back up at Creven <Something you are going to have to do without me, I’m assuming?> she asks, turning her head back to Seb "His status?" she frowns slightly "The Heir you mean." she sits up and glances between them all.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - glances down at Jem and shakes his head <No, unless you don't want to come> Seb smiles and nods "The fact that Creven is Kitsune Royal family, as so is the child, in a way, will make it easier to find it...although, may lead to a bigger ransom."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shrugs slightly at Creven <I don’t want to be in the way. You would certainly get it done easier, not having to worry about my general annoying habits.> she narrows her eyes slightly <Yes that hurt me.> she turns back to Seb and tilts her head "Ransom. What ransom?" she takes a deep breath.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - rolls his eyes <Well I apologise for that, but you do have some very useful talents too, and its your child.> he states bluntly looking over at Seb who raises his eyebrows before continuing. "Well if anyone finds out the child is of royal blood they may not give it up so easily, at least not without payment, or something...the people in the Levels are, well...they act different to here, for one the rules of their world are very different to what we know and understand."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden growls lowly <OUR child! OURS> she snaps at him before sighing "I’m sorry." she whispers, squeezing his hand and shaking her head "I have nothing useful to offer Kitsune’s Creven. I mean, come on. Most of your kind don’t even like me because of what I am." she nods at Seb "You know I will do anything and give up anything for my baby, right. Including myself." she keeps her eyes on Seb, away from Creven, knowing how that would make him react.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - tenses slightly but keeps quiet looking directly over at Seb. Seb nods "Okay, its probably better if you come anyway, these other Levels I'm taking about are full of vampires, werewolves, Kitsune and a few others that you wouldn’t have heard of before..." he explains "It may or may not be easy, may take time or hardly any at all...."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods at Seb "Well, in that case, I’m coming too." she states, bluntly "Nothing will stop me. And if I stay here then all I will do is worry. As usual." she rolls her eyes slightly at herself.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) -smiles again and softly kisses Jem's cheek "The power of my mother's starball will open a gate between our dimension and the Levels, where we can cross into the Third Level and begin the search for our child." he explains looking over at Seb and watching him nod "We just have to wait for a good friend of mine, there’s nothing really we can prepare, and I can't tell you much, no one has crossed over into the Levels for....about a hundred years, they returned a few years later before moving back across into the Second Level for good."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden looks at Creven "Your mothers?" she looks confused at him before a small smile flickers on her lips "When do we go then, Seb?" she asks him, not taking her eyes from her husband.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) -nods "Something she left to me..." he smiles slightly leaning his head on Jem's. Seb clears his throat and glances at his watch "Well, Omar, who I'm waiting for should be here soon. Now, a few more things about Third Level. Its the worst level, so don't go wandering off on your own, avoid contact unless you really need to speak to someone and watch out for the local police they'll be after you just for being different, you'll also see an unusual system to what your used too, something which will run though all the Levels, humans normally work for everyone there have the lowest jobs, earn the lowest, not always a pretty sight, there’s a very active human slave trade...which is ran by vampires..." he explains glancing over at Jem.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden grins at Creven, running her hand down his cheek. She jumps at Sebs cough and glances over at him, listening, nodding "So watch out for police, keep a low profile, keep to yourself" she frowns "Run by vampires?" she repeats "But...I...." she falters, falling over her words.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - blinks and looks back over at Seb listening to him intently. "The shift of power over there is greatly in their favour. They control the governments, everything...Vampires are the most dominant, along with the Kitsune and Werewolves, although they don't always get along...."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden opens her mouth to say something and stops, choosing her words carefully "Is that why some Kitsune's don't like me? They assume I'm like them?" she stands up, muttering under her breath and heads to the kitchen area, distracting herself by making some tea.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Seb) - nods watching Jem "Yes, even though many believe its only all myths, but there was a massive civil war, the vampires slaughtered the Kitsune...mainly due to their mind powers...they said they couldn't trust them, and did what they did as a show of power, to scare them into place, it worked for a while, but the werewolves are very much on the Kitsune side, right now its an equal footing all around, or at least it was anyway...things may have changed..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden scoffs slightly "And vampires don't have that power then?" she curses under her breath "Or only certain ones do. I do. I can do a lot with my mind."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Seb) - shrugs "The Kitsune can do more, I guess they were scared of that...I'm not completely sure."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods "Trust me, I know they can do more." she shudders slightly at the memory of Kyson.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Seb) - nods "We'll only have problems with them, the Kitsune should welcome us, same with the Werewolves, at least I think so." he sighs before lying along the sofa "I wish I knew for sure."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs and heads back with the drinks and sets them down on the table "I’m sure things will turn out ok. I mean, when they see..." she stops and widens her eyes as she looks at Creven "What about.. I mean will we cause them problems? You being married to me?" the small smile falls from her face.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - smiles up at Jem taking a cup and shakes his head "They'll have to get over it." he states and Seb bites his lip "They will...actually, you may find it common where we are going...may depending on how things are, we'll just have to wait and see."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods, smiling as she takes her seat next to Creven, taking a sip of her drink and setting it back on the table "Yes, they will have to get over it." she kisses him before laying her head on him, yawning slightly and wrapping her arm around him.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - smiles tightening his arms around Jem before looking back over at Seb "Any specific time for Omar to get here?" he asks tilting his head to the side and frowning slightly as Seb shakes his head "No Creven, not really, just have to wait and see...I'll try and get an update from him." Seb replies before pulling his phone out of his pocket.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles up at her husband <I’m glad you aren’t shouting at me anymore. I’m sorry for sticking my nose in all the time>she sighs, glancing over at Seb "Wait and see?" she chuckles slightly
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - smiles and nods softly kissing Jem's forehead. "Yep...well, you know what kids are like now-a-days...he’s good at his job, but not so good at timings..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head at Creven, kissing his nose "Seb, erm, how old is he? Omar I mean." she runs her hands through her hair to move it from her eyes "No, I don’t know what kids are like nowadays" she mutters under her breath.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - smiles glancing from Seb to Jem and back again. Seb smiles looking directly at Jem "Now let me think....he's...40, I think, give or take a couple of years."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden grins slightly, catching Creven looking at her and flushing slightly pink, although she wasn’t sure why. "Wow. Does he look younger too, like someone else I know?" she giggles, winking at her husband.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - blinks tilting his head to the side watching Jem with raised eyebrows. Seb chuckles and nods "He's one of Kana's grandsons...I think..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden grins up at Creven <Well what can I say>she winks before raising her eyebrows at Seb "Kana’s? Wow, I haven’t seen him about for a while. How is he?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (S) - shrugs "No idea, we erm fell out a few years ago, I still know most of his family though..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods slowly "Ah, erm, ok then. Lets get off that topic then." she motions to Sebs phone "Any reply yet?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (S) - shakes his head "Nope, nothing yet....Oh wait." he pauses quickly as it vibrates in his hand "He's just arrived at the Hotel and will be up in 5mins."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden laughs slightly "Oh, joy for timing, eh." she giggles as she lets go of Creven’s hand "I'll make some more tea then as mine has gone cold and I cant warm it up in my usual way." she rolls her eyes, kisses her husband and picks up the empty cups and walks to the kitchen area.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - smiles up at Jem and nods "Yeah, apologies for the blocking of magic Jem..." he says softly watching her. Seb stands and moves over to the door, glancing at his watch and opening it just as Omar tries to knock. A smiling youth, looking no older than 20 walks in, jet black hair all round, eyes matching "Thanks Seb." he comments with a small salute before walking into the room and turning to face Creven, bowing slightly "A pleasure to meet you Sir." he says politely glancing over at Jem before returning his attention to Creven who walks over and greets him, firmly shaking hands "A little less of the Sir, Omar, Creven is good enough for me."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden hums to herself as she fills the kettle up "Creven,  sir." she chuckles slightly "Does Omar drink tea or .." she stops as she turns round and raises her eyebrows at the newcomer “coffee." she finishes, glancing at them all "Hi. Erm, I’m Jem. Tea or coffee, or something else?" she asks, smiling her most dazzling smile.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (O) - blinks taking in Jem's full appearance, head to foot before smiling "Something cold would be good thanks." he responds before walking over to the sofa with Creven and Seb and sits down. Creven rolls his eyes at Jem before smiling over to her.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods at Omar and flashes her husband a smile and a wink as she wraps her hair round her finger, watching him for a moment before she tears her eyes from him and turns to finish the drinks, hoping some fresh juice would be ok for Omar.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - turns away from Jem back to the two other men "Omar I'm guessing you know about the Levels? And our current...well need to go there..." Creven suggests watching Omar nod "Yes, Seb filled me in on everything yesterday...and of course as part of my duties I am coming with you."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden listens to the conversation as she finishes the drinks and walks back to the room, setting the tray on the table and handing everyone their drinks "You're coming too, Omar?" she asks.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (O) - nods and smiles taking his drink "Naturally, Creven's safety is my prime responsibility." he comments glancing from Jem to Creven.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods at Omar as she sits down "Naturally. But remember, thats my responsibility aswell."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (O) - raises his eyebrows "Not quite the same though Jem..." he remarks before taking a sip of his drink.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden raises her eyebrows at Omar "Erm it is in a way I think you will find." she glances up at Creven.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (O) - laughs slightly placing his glass down and folding his arms "You are his...wife Jem. I am his bodyguard." Omar states keeping his black eyes fixed on Jem. Creven coughs before glancing around the room "Can we not argue about my safety, I can take care of myself, very well in fact." he states taking a sip of his tea watching Seb smile.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden glares at Omar, not liking the way he said that, before pulling her legs up onto the sofa, laughing slightly "I know you can, love." she smiles slightly and takes a sip of her tea.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (O) - picks his drink back up still keeping his eyes on Jem "When do we leave for the Third Level?" he asks turning his attention onto Seb who leans forwards in his chair "As soon as is ready, it will only be us four, I'm not taking the risk of letting anyone else come."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden grins slightly at Creven <This will go ok, wont it?> she asks, trying to keep the worry from her face "Only us?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - kisses Jem's forehead not answering her. "Its safer that way, and we'll draw less attention to ourselves."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs at her unanswered question <I cant see anything. My seer side is linked to my magic.> she explains, looking deep into his eyes as she rests her forehead on his.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - nods before moving away and looking up at Omar "How much do you know about the Levels then?" he asks titling his head to the side and blinking a couple of times before nodding "Well Seb has completely filled you in on everything, more so than myself." Creven finishes as Omar nods and shrugs "Well, it is my job to know exactly what we're going into." he states simply as Seb chuckles quietly.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden glances between them all before glancing at the clock, frowning. Where did the time just go? Jem shrugs and lays back against the sofa.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - nods and stands up walking over to his bag and pulling a box out of it before returning to the sofa. He opens the lid and pulls out the large star ball twisting it around in his hands. Omar nods, his eyes slightly wider "That’s incredible, I've never seen one so large before, I though all the larger starballs had been lost and our ability to create them lost too." he states before Seb begins talking again "No Omar, I believe they are mostly all still in the Levels, someone Creven's mother worked out how to form this one.."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden lifts her head up as she feels Creven leave the sofa. Watching him she widens her eyes slightly at the star ball. She glances up at him <That’s bigger than yours> she tilts her head, admiring it before looking at Seb "There are more of them this size?" she questions him, a small frown on her face.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (C) - nods and smiles before looking up at Seb. "Loads, thousands perhaps, some even bigger its said." he responds with a smile "Something which I plan on looking into when we are in the Levels." he finishes as Creven nods "As do I."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden glances over at Seb, a grin on her face "So what do I get to do when we go then?" she tilts her head, not wanting to be there to be useless, keeping her eyes on Seb and away from Creven for now.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (S) - folds his arms "Mainly converse with vampires there, after all we don’t know how they will react to us."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden folds her arms and leans forward "You know I’m not like them right? They will know it aswell. As soon as the see me. "
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (S) - shrugs "We don't know what they're like Jem, we'll be surprising them just as much as they will be to us."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods and sits back again, running her hand through her hair. "Ok then. Well, I better be on my best behaviour, hadnt I." she glances at Creven then Omar and then back to Seb.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (O) - nods "Yes, we want as little to go wrong as possible..." he states folding his arms before looking over to Seb "Well we can be off at sun rise, its when the starball can harness full power."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden rolls her eyes and nods "As if I’m going to do something bad. I mean, come on. I have to make some kind of good impression. Especially as I need everyone to at least like me." she mutters.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (O) - shrugs "Well in the past you have been a little unpredictable and act without thinking..." he states again fixing his eyes on Jem before Creven clears his throat "Thank you Omar but Jem won't do anything stupid." Creven remarks before standing back up again and pacing around the room with the ball in his hands.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden narrows her eyes slightly; fixing them on Omar "That, dear Omar, is the past." she states simply "If no one threatens my family, I can keep my actions to a minimum."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (S) - nods watching Jem "But where we are going its better if you just accept the threat and watch your back."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods at Seb, taking her eyes from Omar "Ok, Ok, I get it." she mutters "Be a good girl." she rolls her eyes and stands up, picking the empty cups from the table and piling them back on the tray and wandering back into the kitchen "Wow, anyone would think I’m just out for the kill all the time." she grumbles, slamming the tray down on the side and starting to wash them up.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (S) - watches Jem before turning his attention to Creven "Its easy enough to activate when the time comes, but we are going to have to find our own way back." he explains as Creven nods. "Yes I know how it works...somehow, and I understand that."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs as she slowly starts humming the song they danced to at their wedding, the song that calms her down. She smiles slightly, concentrating on pottering round the kitchen, not fully hearing the conversation in the other room.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Meanwhile, back at Calanon castle…

  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley yawns as she pushes the front door opens and steps through after spending a long day with Seth operatives and Lucas himself. Lea smiles slightly thinking about him before closing the door behind her and jumping slightly at the house elf at her feet. She hands the elf her coat and smiles at it "One day I may finally get used to you doing that." she explains before walking over to bottom of the stairs "Anyone home?" she yells up and listens for a reply.
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC jumps at the sound of the door shutting, just able to hear it. She frowns as a voice drifts up the stairs and she creeps to the door. She wasnt sure if she was supposed to be here. She knew she would be in trouble when she left, but she wasnt doing anything bad, for a change. Creeping to the top of the stairs, she peers over the railings, catching the sight of red hair and grins as she bounces down the stairs and follows her aunt "Hello Aunt Lea."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley smiles watching her niece walk down the stairs "Marriah." she replies brightly before motioning to the kitchen "Tea dear?"
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC carries on grinning as she rushes over to hug her aunt "Tea? Oh, ok then. Where has everyone been?" she questions, feeling slightly lonely.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley hugs back keeping an arm around Marriah as they walk into the kitchen. "Well, I've been at Seth, tracking your damn father's and seemingly now mothers positions on this planet..."she explains filling the kettle and turning it on.
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC looks up at her aunt, confused "And where are they? Do they know about Co.." she stops, tears threatening to fill her violet eyes.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley wraps an arm back around Marriah and shrugs "I'm not sure, I doubt it..." she replies kissing the top of her head "They're in Dubai, and don't even think about following them!" she states tapping Marriah on her nose.
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC sighs slightly "But dad.. the link thing they had." she mutters, resting her head on her aunt, rolling her eyes "Its like you know me so well." she grins.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley shrugs again "Lucas said something about it not properly forming again, I'm not sure...its all just questions at the moment, like what the hell are they even doing in Dubai, heat isn't good for vampires…" Lea laughs slightly as the kettle boils and begins making two cups of tea "I do Marriah, thats the problem..."
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC shrugs as well "Maybe she wont come back the same then." she mutters under her breath, watching her aunt make the drinks "I miss them."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley smiles "She'll never complain about the English weather again." Lea remarks before handing Marriah her tea "I know love, but hopefully they'll be back soon."
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC snorts and takes her tea "She complains about too much." she laughs slightly before sighing "I have been watching them. Sometimes. They had an argument the other day." she bites her lip.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley nods smiling before tilting her head to the side “Watching? How, Marriah?" Lea asks quickly with interest watching her niece.
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC smirks slightly "There something on Olympus where they all watch mortals being well, mortals." she shrugs "I just tweaked it a little, found mom, then found dad."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley rolls her eyes "You are going to get yourself into big trouble one day..." she replies before smiling "But keep up the good work, don't get caught and never tell your mother I said that."
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC beams up at her aunt, trying her best to look innocent and lowers her voice "I havent been caught. Technically Im not even meant to be in that room at all." she presses her finger to her lips "Dont say anything. And I wont." she giggles, taking a sip of her tea.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley smiles and laughs "So what exactly have you seen?” she asks a slight proud smirk on her face.
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC grins "Well, erm... like I said, they argued, he said mainly about mom not trusting dad when he is away" she shrugs "She yelled at him. Something about a baby. He yelled at her about someone called Rebecca." she looks up at her aunt, puzzled "And Jessie? Whoever they are." she sighs again "They argued for a long time. Mom was crying, dad walked out." she sips some more tea "Are they going to split up Aunt Lea?" she whispers.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley nods listening before shaking her head "There are a few things I should probably tell you Marriah, but no they are not going to split up..."
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC slips into a chair at the table and stares at her aunt "Tell me what. Whats happening? Im so confused."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley smiles softly before sipping her tea and sitting opposite to Marriah "Your Mother was pregnant before your father disappeared, and your grandfather killed....but during the birth the child was transported off somewhere, into some form of different dimension, I know it sounds crazy but it had something to do with blocking the ley lines...Lucas has explained it briefly but up until now he didnt think this other dimension existed, he's doing a bit of research into it and there was also something discovered about Creven's Kitsune heritage."
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC shakes her head "Pregnant. Again. Jeez. When will they keep their hands off each other. Its disgusting." she mutters under her breath. "They were talking about something called Levels." she looks up at her Aunt, a frown on her face "I think thats what it was called." she raises her eyebrows slightly "Other dimension? Dad’s heritage? What heritage? I thought he was normal. Well normal for us anyway." she sets her cup down on the table and stares at her aunt "Tell me." she begs in a whiney voice "Please."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley laughs "It is a little excessive..." she comments before listening to Marriah "Levels, yes that may have been what Lucas called them, which in essence are apparently a different dimension.” Lea starts before stopping "Wait a minute, my father had started doing research on something called the Levels, he had the house elves searching for this old book in the vaults, I asked them to carry on finding it, I was curious, and they did, how did I forget that?" she asks before standing and motioning for Marriah to follow. "You've never met any of your grandmothers, with good reason...Creven's mother was killed as she mated with a human but she was part of the Kitsune royal family, when Lucas bought Creven back using the ley lines, a power specifically connected with Kitsune’s Creven lost his human DNA and became fully Kitsune...the Kitsune Emperor died not long ago leaving Creven as the only heir alive." she explains taking the stairs at a run heading for her study door, which she quickly opens and walks over to her desk moving a load of paper aside before picking up an old dusty book.
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC tilts her head, listening, before looking at her empty cup and sighing slightly. She holds her hand up to her aunt and stands up, following her "You're rambling Aunt Lea. I dont have a clue what you are on about." she raises her eyebrows and runs up the stairs after her aunt "Daddys an heir? As in....?" she questions from the door as she leaned on the frame, knowing she wasnt allowed in any of the studies. "What does that mean? I mean, I know what heir means." she rolls her eyes "What I meant was." she pauses and takes a deep breath "What does it mean. For us. As a family." she watches her aunt with the book and frowns.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley looks up at Marriah and smiles "Not rambling Marriah, using logic and quickly putting a series of events together, my father knew your mother was pregnant, he knew about the ley lines, he knew this would happen." Lea states before waving Marriah forward "Come on, come in, this once." Lea remarks pointing to the chair on the other side of her desk while taking her own. Lea runs a hand through her hair brushing it out of her face before taking a deep breath "Your father will become the ruler of the Kitsune race, I'm not sure what it means for the rest of us yet only time will tell that Marriah." she says before wiping off the layer of dust off the front of the book.
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC blinks, watching her aunt as she slips through the door, taking a quick look round and sitting in the chair. "Aunt Lea. Does that mean daddy will be gone more than before?" she asks, watching her closely. "Granddad knew momma was pregnant?" she pouts slightly, confused even more.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley shrugs running her hand down the cover of the book before opening it and coughing with the dust "I don't know Marriah, I don't know how the Kitsune royal family works, that could be a reason why he's gone to Dubai." Lea says smiling up at Marriah before nodding "Yes she told him first, before anyone else, Creven never knew."
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC shrugs "Well just great. Daddy wont be around much, meaning mom will be in a bad mood a lot." she sighs "Im staying up on Olympus till she snaps out of it." she mutters, resting her arms on the desk and shaking her head. “Daddy didnt know! How the hell did he not know!"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley smiles weakly "We don't know that for sure yet Marriah...." Lea replies before turning another page "Well he wasn't around, and she kept it quiet some-oh here we go," she stops and  changes the topic quickly "The Levels, a supernaturally controlled dimension running alongside what humans call their own dimension, the Levels are slightly out of phase with the known universe and occupy their own space and time, which differs for each Level, they can be reached from the human dimension by means of creating a power rift at the correct frequency to momentarily join the two dimensions together allowing passage from one to the other. The different Levels act like seperarate countries but passage between them is freely available. For more information read section three of this guide." Lea stops reading and looks up at Marriah before flicking through more pages quickly "Marriah, I think we're got a travel guide to the Levels..." she states before looking back down at the book, on a page resembling a contents list.
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC fixes her eyes on the book, trying to read upside down. The frown on her face grew larger, deeper as she listened to her aunt read out loud. When she had stopped, Marriah looked up at her, tilting her head "A travel guide?" she laughs "As if it were a holiday destination or something." she chuckles, running her hand through her pink and violet hair.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley laughs slightly at Marriah's comment "Possibly not quite like that, but a guide written by someone who has been there and come back, a guide left behind so others could, if they wanted, to understand the Levels and travel there themselves. You're parents need to be made aware of the existence of this book." Lea states looking back up at her niece.
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC grins at her aunt again, her eyes shining "Like a diary of sorts?" she muses out loud "So if there were something bad there, it would be n the book?" she nods "Daddy needs the book if thats where they are going." she grins "Can I take it to him?" she asks, knowing the answer and putting on her best smile.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley nods again flicking through the book "Yes its all here, parts of the law, the weather...a little out of date I guess but...helpful none the less." Lea looks back up at her niece and bites her lip "Marriah, I, we have too...I'll need to copy it first, study it myself too." Lea explains grabbing a load of clean paper and drawing her wand. Muttering a quiet spell the books text begins to copy itself onto the paper, the pages flipping one by one.
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC folds her arms across her chest "We have to what, Aunt Lea?" she asks, watching the text appear on the other piece of paper, jumping as the pages of the book turn on their own.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley folds her own arms "take the book to your parents, do you think they'd be happy if they knew I let you go alone..."
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC smirks slightly "They wont know if I just turn up with the book. I wont even mention your name. Just please, let me go." she begs.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley frowns "But they'll wonder where the hell you got it from..." Lea shakes her head before watching the last page of the book turn over and the cover snap shut. Again she coughs and waves her hands around to clear the dust "Fine, but then you're coming straight back here!"
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC sulks in the chair for a few minutes before she coughs at the dust from the snapped book. Marriah jumps up and punches the air, grinning and running to throw her arms around her aunt "I will. I promise." she mutters.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley glances up at Marriah "Make sure you do...I'm not having the whole of this family disappearing of the face of this planet!" she states looking down at the book.
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC laughs "Aunt Lea. Technically I dont even live on this planet." she giggles, nodding "I know what you mean though."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley frowns before laughing "Don't try to get smart with me Miss Calanon....it won't work...."
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC beams "It does work though. I know it and you know it. Well, it works on daddy." she giggles.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley rolls her eyes "Well I'm not your father..." Lea responds before handing the book to Marriah "Now, no talking to strangers..."
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC nods and grabs the book, holding it tight to herself "But... How do I find them? Dubai is a big place."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley smiles spinning around in her chair to better face Marriah "Concentrate on them, their voices, their presence, you should be able to apparate near their location." Lea sighs slightly "As this is your father, look from something big and impressive a hotel of some form."
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC shakes her head "I cant apparate, Aunt Lea. Apollo took my magic away for sneaking out and fighting with people." she grumbles.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley shakes her head "Well at least you can remember the fights you get into." she whispers before nodding "Well then, it looks like we could be going together."
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC raises her eyebrows slightly wondering what she meant. She shrugs slightly and nods "Ok. Then you can make sure I come right back."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley chuckles to herself before nodding "That is certainly true...and I'll talk to Apollo for you..."
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC blinks a few times "But, Im a good girl Aunt Lea. I always do as Im told." she exclaims, in a childish voice, a cheeky grin on her face "He said its my own fault for disobeying him."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley raises her eyebrows "Umm, as often as I do Marriah..."
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC grins some more and tightens her grip on the book as if her life depended it "When are we going?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley smiles neatly collecting the pieces of paper and piling the neatly on her desk "Now?" she asks with a smile.
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC nods quickly, grinning from ear to ear "Does this mean Im helping a lot?" she asks.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley nods and smiles "yes..." Lea replies before closing her eyes and holding out a hand to Marriah.
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC takes a deep breath and grabs her aunt’s arm, tightening her other arm round the book and closing her eyes. "Ready when you are, aunt Lea." she whispers.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley nods pulling Marriah slightly closer to her before apparating them both into a hot dusty side street just behind a large hotel, Lea takes Marriah's hand and walks out into the street pointing towards the hotel "That’s odd, really odd, I had the exact room, everything....but this is the closest my apparition could bring us." she comments glancing at her niece.
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC gasps and opens her eyes, not used to apparating with anyone. Looking round she blinks at the hotel her aunt was pointing at "Its blocked." she states. "Magic wise." she adds, unsure as to how she knew. She shrugs and looks over at her aunt, checking the book was still in her arms.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley nods frowning slightly "Yes, but why, and to what extent..." she comments before leading Marriah forward towards the hotel.
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC shrugs, having no answer to her aunt’s questions. Marriah squints, the sun burning bright, something she wasnt used to "Its so hot." she mutters under her breath as they walk to the hotel.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley glances down at Marriah and nods "It'll be cooler inside, another good thing about being half Phoenix, I'm good with heat." she comments before taking a turn onto a main road and walking  towards a large foyer, keeping Marriah close at all times.
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC grips her aunts hand tight "Can we go a bit faster. Please. I'm not used to this." she whines.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley nods and quickens her pace, pushing the revolving doors around and taking a breath of cooler air glancing around a fancy reception area.
  <GRY> Fourthyeargirl MarriahC coughs slightly as she walks through the doors, cooling down instantly "Thats better. Air con." she grins. "Just like heaven."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley smiles and takes Marriah to one side, lea places a hand on her nieces cheek "The image which I'm currently showing you is the door to your father's suit its on the second to last floor, so the one below the top floor, okay? if you see me place my right hand on my hip head straight for it, I'll cause a diversion down here, I have a slightly odd feeling about this place."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (m) nods and closes her eyes briefly, letting the image into her head. Snapping her eyes open she nods again and tilts her head "Ok." she whispers.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley smiles kissing Marriah's forehead before walking over to the main desk and initiating in a discussion with the girl behind the desk. Lea shakes her head a few times and after ten minuets places her right hand on her hip before taking a few steps back from the desk "is this really how you treat guests here? With arrogance and insolence?" she yells hoping Marriah had remembered what she told her.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (m) peeks round the plant she was stood behind, trying not to laugh at her aunt. She nods once and notices the indication she had been told to look for. Marriah spins on her heels and runs as fast as she can without attracting attention to herself and bounds up to the second to last floor, slowing down and checking the doors for the right one. Finding it almost at the end of the corridor, she stops and stares at it for a moment, before taking a deep breath and raising her hand, knocking quickly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Omar) - jumps up quickly glancing over at the door "I didn't think we were due any guests...." he state before walking over to the door and opening it quickly, stepping out into the corridor blocking Marriah and closing the door behind himself "Whoever you are, there is currently a very important meeting taking place, we asked not to be disturbed."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (m) takes a step back, gripping the book tighter as the man blocks her view. She didnt need to see. She could smell her parents in the room "Well excuse me. I want to, no, I have to speak with my dad. So let me in that room." she yells, hoping to get either of their attentions.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Omar) - blinks looking down at Marriah and raises his eyebrows "Your dad?" he questions before leaning against the door frame "And why should I believe you?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (m) rolls her eyes and points to her hair "Well, pink hair like my moms and violet tint the same as my dads." she flashes him the Calanon smirk "So let me in!" she yells at him again before lowering her voice "I have something about the Levels." she mutters under her breath <Daddy! Get this man away from me! I dont like him! He’s scaring me.>
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Omar) - nods taking in Marriah's appearance before grabbing her shoulder on the mention of the Levels opening the door and pushing her through it "Creven Sir, your daughter I believe, with apparent information on the Levels."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (m) winces as the man grabs her shoulder, trying to break free from his grip. He pushes her through the door and she falls to the floor, snapping her head round to glare at him "Nice aren’t you." she snaps up at him, not moving. She narrows her eyes, already deciding she hated him. She rubs her shoulder.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - stands up as Omar pushes Marriah through the door and heads straight over to her "Marriah, what are you doing here? how did you even get here? and don't mind Omar, he's just protective..." Creven explains to his daughter shooting Omar a stern look before helping her up.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden jumps up and runs across the room to help her daughter up "Omar, If you put your hands on her again.." she warns, wrapping her arms round her daughter, glancing at Creven, confused "What are you doing here?" she whispers. Marriah wriggles free from her parents and rolls her eyes "Im ok. Just my shoulder is a bit sore." she wrinkles her nose "Erm, I have this book." she starts to explain everything she could to them, not sure if she should tell them Lea was downstairs, so she leaves that bit out. She holds the book out in front of her as she finishes talking and bites her lip.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Seb) - walks across to join the others watching as Creven takes the book and begins to read through it "I've heard of such a book, but it was supposed to have been lost...years ago." he explains before smiling softly to Marriah and holding out a hand "Pleasure to meet you, I am Seb, council and guide to your father." Seb explains as Creven paces the room "Marriah this is incredible, and my father's you say? He never missed anything that man, very clever, Seb with this book our who venture will be so much easier!" Creven remarks before walking over to Marriah and kissing her forehead "Now, how did you get here?" he asks slightly sternly "Where's your Aunt?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (m) smiles shyly at Seb as he introduces himself, holding her own hand out to shake his "Hello." she mutters before wrapping her arms round her mom. Jem smiles and kisses Marriahs head before watching Creven and shakes her head "Very clever." she grins slightly. Marriah lifts her head up to look at her father, beaming "Shes..." she pauses and bites her lip ”Downstairs" she finishes.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods and folds his arms "Creating a distraction so you could sneak up here..." he smiles before placing the book down and wrapping his arms around Marriah "I've missed you so much sweetie!" he remarks before glancing over at Omar "Go downstairs and find Lea, oh and Omar, be nice..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (m) smiles proudly and nods at her dad "Yeah. That would be what she is doing." she hugs him tight "I missed you too daddy. You and mom." she starts to cry. Jem sighs, glancing at Omar as he leaves the room "I'll put the kettle on then shall I." she kisses Marriahs head again and runs her hand through Creven’s hair on her way to the kitchen.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Seb) - smiles taking the book from Creven "This really is wonderful, thank you Marriah..." he explains watching Creven hug her again as Jem makes the tea.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden hums to herself, wondering what was in the book. She lets her mind run over a million things before she stops and frowns. Marriah doesn’t get yelled at for just turning up. Jem scoffs to herself slightly. "Of course she doesn’t." she mutters out loud before slapping herself mentally for even thinking that. Shaking her head she taps her nails on the counter, waiting for the extremely slow kettle to boil, drifting off into her own little world. Marriah sits up, smiling slightly at her dad.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - kisses Marriah's forehead again before walking over to Seb and joining him on the sofa "I'm guessing all this fits with what we already know." he says reading over Seb's shoulder. Seb himself nods and smiles "Oh yes Creven, in perfect detail too..""
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden glances over her shoulder before opening the cupboards to look for something. Marriah wanders round, exploring, a small smile on her face.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley walks in glancing over her shoulder at Omar "Would it actually hurt you to smile?" she jokes before glancing around the room. Creven quickly stands up and walks over to his sister before hugging her tightly.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles slightly, hearing Leas voice and rolling her eyes, slamming the cupboard shut and setting out another cup. Marriah glances over at her aunt before lowering her eyes to the floor.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley smiles hugging her brother back before taking a step back and slapping him "You, You, annoying, arrogant, idiot...I literally cannot believe your actions over the last few months. Oh Omar get off me." Lea partly yells slapping Omar's hand off her shoulder "You could have sent a note, but no, I've been using Lucas's software to track you...anything Creven, a card even about our father, because even though I know you're fully foxified now he was part of the reason that you are on this planet, so just a tiny note of acceptance or something would have been nice!" she yells before taking a deep breath. Creven blinks and rubs his cheek, shocked and surprised "Anything else Lea?" he asks quietly not taking his eyes off his sister. Lea nods raising a hand again pointing towards him "Yes, Creven a lot more, none of which should be said in front of certain members of our current company." she replies slightly calmer her eyes quickly flickering towards Marriah. Creven shakes her head taking her hand "Lea, if I could...I...look, I'm sorry-" he starts before being cut off again "Sorry isn't good enough Creven, not this time, you go and lead your people, go and save your child from this other crazy place...and don't bother to come running to me when it all goes wrong and hell breaks lose, plan this Creven, don't just make it up as you go along."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden lets out a low growl at the sound of the slap, she turns round and heads back into the living room, scouring for her daughter. Jem sighs, not seeing her and heads to the bathroom and taps on the door "Marr? Sweetie. Are you in there?” she tries the handle and sighs, resting her head on the door "Marr, please. Come out. I need help with the drinks." she glances over her shoulder, letting out another growl, louder this time "Lea..." she warns "Its all being planned out. Thoroughly planned out. I swear. Nothing bad will happen." she insists, glancing over briefly at Creven and the handprint of his cheek. Shaking her head, she stands up and storms back into the kitchen, sinking to the floor <It’s all my fault.>
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley nods looking from Creven to Jem "Good, it better!" Lea states before glancing around the room "Marriah? Perhaps we should leave now?" she suggests walking over to the door. Creven grabs her hand "Sister please, about our father, I am sorry, truly sorry, I know what happened and I should have been there..." Lea nods listening to his words "Just make sure you make it up."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden runs her hand through her hair <Does she know it was Coran?> Jem sends the question to Creven. Marriah unlocks the door and peeks out, her eyes red from crying. She glares at her aunt and runs to hug her father tight "I have to go now apparently." she sniff "Come home soon daddy." she mutters and lets him go and walks to her mom, sits on the floor with her and wraps her arms round her "See you soon mom. Please be safe. The twins keep asking when we can all come home."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods before glancing at Lea <She knows something else too, she’s blocking her whole mind from me, or she’s just in a really bad mood with me.> Creven replies before letting go of his sister. Lea smiles slightly glancing over at Marriah "Creven," she says softly but he nods again "I know, keep them all safe, we'll be home as soon as possible."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head and kisses her daughter “You better go sweetie. Before something really kicks off in here” she whispers.<She’s blocking you? That can’t be good. > Marriah stands up and nods "See you soon mom." she mutters, half pleading as she walks back out to the room and grabs her aunts arm "Lets go."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley nods smiles softly at Jem before placing a hand over Marriah's and walking out of the door.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden glances over at Lea, nodding a small goodbye to them both, letting out a small sigh and staying sat in the floor.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - walks over to Jem and joins her on the floor softly kissing her cheek.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden runs her hand down Creven’s cheek softly "I cant believe she did that to you." she whispers, kissing the handprint that was still there.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) – shrugs "She’s upset, angry....dealing with everything at home on her own."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods "I know. But she didnt have to do that." she kisses his lips before resting her forehead on his and wrapping her arms around him "Whats in that book that our amazing daughter brought?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles softly kissing her back and gently kissing her forehead "Its a guide on the Levels, written by someone whose been there and come back."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles slightly, closing her eyes "Oh. So its a good thing to have." she chuckles slightly, sliding her arms around his neck.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods slipping an arm around her waist still leaning his head against hers "Its fantastic."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden runs her fingers though his hair "It seems like it." she murmurs, hiding a yawn "I hate this heat. It makes me so tired. And no one even drunk their teas." she pouts.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles again before kissing her nose "I know, but all the more for us then."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden wrinkles her nose and presses her lips against his <I keep telling you, do it properly> she giggles.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Seb) - coughs from the sofa still reading the book but pointing to the bedroom "We leave when I've read this book, perhaps you two would like to be alone..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden jumps at the sound of Seb’s voice and bushes bright pink "Oh so sorry Seb. Are we making you uncomfortable" she calls out, grinning as she lays her head on Creven’s shoulder.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Seb) - laughs "Jem I run a top class hotel, I am used to everything...but I thought you'd prefer your own privacy." Seb replies glancing over at them. Creven laughs and scoops Jem into his arms before standing up and heading over to the bedroom
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden laughs and wraps her arms round Creven, kissing his neck "Why, thank you Seb! So considerate. We will try and keep it down." she laughs and kicks the bedroom door shut behind them.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sits up in bed, yawning before she frowns slightly. This wasnt the same bed she went to sleep in. It was softer, more familiar. She turns her head slowly to Creven’s side of the bed and sighs a huge sigh of relief to see him still there. she smiles, leaning down to kiss him, brushing the fringe from his eyes, watching a smile for on his face "I love you" she whispers before slipping out of the bed, determined to find out where she was. Opening the bedroom door she freezes. The hall looked familiar, but not. Running to the nearest window she throws back the curtain and gasps. The beach. Their beach. Tears roll down her cheeks as she rests her head against the window for a moment before she heads down the stairs, smiling at the stairs and the waterfall in them. Reaching the bottom step, Jem tilts her head. The place wasnt being used at SETH HQ anymore. Everything was back to normal, as if they hadn’t even been here. Jem chuckles to herself "Well, they sure do know how to clean up properly." she laughs and heads to the kitchen to get a drink. Flicking on the kettle, Jem spins round, hearing a noise behind her "Co... Corbin?" she stares at her father in law who chuckles slightly "Yes. Its me. No Im not alive. None of this is real." he waves his hand round the kitchen "I just needed somewhere familiar to us both." he smiles the familiar Calanon smile as he leans against the counter opposite her "Are you ok Jem? You look like you need to sit down." he motions to the table. Jem shakes her head, speechless. Corbin grins "Weren’t expecting me were you?" he asks. Jem shakes her head, just managing to find her voice ”Corbin, You're dead. Im sorry."  she mutters "Coran." Corbin nods "Was compelled by someone. I know. I noticed he wasnt himself as soon as I opened the door to him. I couldnt stop him, maybe I wasnt meant to." Jem blinks and shakes her head "Dont let Lea and Creven hear you say that." she sighs, running her hand through her hair    “Coran’s already dead"  Corbin nods "I know. And I know Creven disowned him too. I understand why too. But it wasnt his fault. I cant seem to get through to Cravens’ dreams. He closes his mind too tight." Jem nods "Trust me, I know." Corbin laughs "Well look at the little Calanon." he teases her, grinning as Jem blushes slightly. Corbin’s face turns serious "I have heard a few things on this side." he watches Jem closely as she lifts her head up to meet her father in laws gaze "Things?" she questions as he nods "A sort of prophecy." he pauses a moment and walks over to sit at the table, motioning her over to join him, which she does, staring at him "I dont understand, Corbin. What prophecy?" she frowns. Corbin leans back, reciting the prophecy from memory "When one will die, one will be born, a child will die, that only one will mourn. Two different kinds will be as one." he stops and glances round "I cant say the last line." he explains "I was only meant to tell you the prophecy then I would be called back to the other side. But if I dont finish it, I can be free to jump over the line, so to speak." Jem nods "But what about the..." "last line?" Corbin finishes "Well, I will try and give you hints towards it. Im hoping to try and come to the Levels with you. Something tells me you may need my guidance." he sighs and stands up - "I must be going. Otherwise I may be stuck here for a while. The portal is only open for short periods of time" he heads to the middle of the room, Jems eyes watching him closely "Corbin"  she calls out as he disappears in a shimmering light "I will be back. I promise." his voice whispered. Jem stands up and runs to the middle of the room and shakes her head "I was dreaming" she argued with herself as she slipped back up the stairs to bed, wrapping her arms round her husband once more and drifting off to sleep. She sits up in bed, gasping for breath, shaking slightly as she looks round, recognising the hotel room in Dubai. She sits, staring at the wall, the prophecy playing on her mind, until the light streamed through the window.

  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden slips out the bedroom quietly. She leans her head on the door frame staring into the living area. It was quiet. Seb must have gone to bed. Glancing over her shoulder she sighs, her heart heavy with so many emotions, replaying their conversation, or rather yelling, from the other day. Shutting the door Jem heads to the kitchen to make a fresh pot of tea. Pouring it, her thoughts return to the book their daughter and Lea had brought. Half in a world of her own she finds herself pouring milk into her cup with no recollection of walking to the fridge. Shaking her head she replaces the cap and slips it back into the fridge before walking to the balcony, opening the door and breathing in the cool night air. Jem wraps her free arm round herself, the other clutching the freshly made hot cup of tea. Jem slips outside and into the chair, curling her legs round her. She had no idea what was going to happen when they got to the Levels. She wasnt looking forward to it. Something she didnt want to admit to anyone, especially Creven as she knew it would more than likely cause yet another argument. Setting the cup down after taking a sip, she runs her hands through her hair, pulling it into a tight, messy ponytail, smiling slightly to herself as she drifts back to the night before. Her night with Creven. Just the two of them. Something she had missed. Things had been said, not intentionally, but things had slipped out. She had cried herself to sleep, not fully knowing what he even wanted anymore and that was hard for her to take in, to feel. She loved him and Zia had said he loved her but lately she really wasnt sure. She glances down at the ring on her finger, the ring that usually shined so bright even on the dullest of days. Right now, in the almost pitch black, she couldn’t see it properly. Something was different. She only knew it was there as she felt it. A tear rolled down her cheek as she fought what seemed like a million of them from spilling over. She picks her drink back up, slowly sipping it and feeling the warmth flowing through her, attempting to comfort her. She scoffs slightly, wiping her eyes. The only thing that would comfort her would be the safe return of their newest child, and both Coran and Corbin alive. She just wanted to go back to their normal lives. If it’s what you could call normal. She felt like she was an outsider right at this moment. Jem snaps her head round, keeping quiet, as she hears a small noise behind her, letting out a small sigh of relief, recognising the noise as a text message on her phone. Quickly she runs to get it before it beeped again and woke Creven up. Returning to the balcony, she reads it and chuckles to herself "Kana, you silly bugger." she mutters, shaking her head as he wanted to know they were ok, as CC was empty almost. Jem hits reply, explaining briefly they were in Dubai and to go see Lea who would fill him in. Jem turns her phone off completely, setting it on the floor and staring off into the distance as she finished her drink, her almost silent sobs echoing round the area. Not that she noticed. She had finally fallen asleep in the chair, the cool night air turning slightly warmer and luring her dreams, violent, death pain and heartache. Dream world merged with her awake state again.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - slips through the door out onto the balcony and smiles slightly watching Jem before walking to the edge and leans against the railings just staring out around and below, scanning the area, his eyes slightly glowing their violet colour in the slight dark.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden opens her eyes briefly, sensing she wasnt alone. She snaps her head round and sits up in one swift movement as her eyes adjust to the darkness. She breathes a sigh of relief "Hey. What are you doing out here?" she reaches down for her cup. Empty.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - glances back over his shoulder to Jem and shrugs slightly "Coming to see you, and I quite like the view, the stars are quite clear here, and different to those at home."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles slightly, standing up and walking over to him "I quite like the view too." she whispers, wrapping an arm around him and staring up at the sky.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles as he softly kisses the top of her head slipping an arm back around his wife. "Commenting on me or the actual sky?" he teases pulling her closer.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden laughs quietly, poking her tongue out at him "Im not sure. They are both amazing." she wraps her other arm round him, leaning her head on him.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - chuckles softly to himself leaning his head on hers "I'm sorry for being so...distant recently, and snappy Jem, you don't deserve it at all."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head "Its ok. Well, its not, but." she sighs, looking up at him "Zia explained a few things." she smiles slightly "I made it worse by just turning up."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - frowns slightly "You turning up was unexpected, but you haven't made things worse.”
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden raises her eyebrows slightly "Are you sure?" she tilts her head, running her hand down his cheek "Dont frown." she murmurs.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) – nods, softly leaning into her hand slightly "Of course I'm sure, and by the sounds of things, we'll need you in the Levels."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shudders slightly at the mention of the Levels before she stands on her tiptoes to kiss him "Me? What can I do? That is, as long as I dont just kill everyone." she rolls her eyes.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - laughs slightly before softly kissing her "You just being a vampire helps."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden chuckles, blushing, glad of the darkness to hide it, although she had a feeling he could tell "I know I can control myself. I can be behaved."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - laughs again "Good, but its not just that, we may be more accepted as there will be more than one race within out group."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden pouts as he laughs, lacing her hand with his, squeezing "We may. But thats a big may. We may not be. I mean, I havent a clue what will happen. I cant see anything. Who blocked the magic here anyway?" she grumbled slightly "I feel vulnerable. I dont like it."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles slightly kissing her forehead softly "The Kitsune did, many years ago...to keep it as a neutral place to meet, without any tricks or magic,"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs and nods slowly, turning round and leaning against him, staring up at the sky. She shivers slightly, hiding a yawn "Well, in that case I better stop complaining." she laughs.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods again glancing back over his shoulder into the room behind them "Seb says we should leave soon, from what hes read anyway, something about a favourable time."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods, closing her eyes briefly "I suppose I better go and shower and get dressed then." she turns back round to face him, slipping her arms round his neck and hugging him tight.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - tightly hugs her back before letting go "It might be a good idea, I have a few things to discuss with the others too."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles, dropping her arms from around him, slipping her hand back into his "Things to discuss?" she questions.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods and starts to lead Jem back into the room "Yeah, a few finer details..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles up at her husband, letting him led her back inside. It was warmer than being outside and falling asleep in the chair wasnt comfy. A nice hot shower would ease her back slightly. She kisses her husbands cheek, dropping his hand as they walk through the door "I wont be too long." she murmurs "Cup of tea would be nice." she grins before walking into the bedroom and picking up her bag, and walking over to the bathroom, locking the door behind her and turning on the shower. She undresses quickly and steps under the hot water, her body instantly relaxing her aching muscles easing almost instantly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - laughs watching her walk away before joining Seb and Omar on the sofa, both reading part of the Levels books. “Anything else new?" Creven asks as he sits opposite the two men Seb nods quickly "Loads, most of which is common sense really though, a few more specific things and a lot to remember about the law." Omar frowns slightly before looking up at Creven "Basically the less fuss and attention we make the better."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head and bursts out laughing as she turns the shower off and wraps the towel around her "If that was aimed at me, Omar, trust me, you have nothing to worry about." she calls through the door as she wraps another towel around her head and pulls some fresh clothes from her bag. A white top, black jeans and her boots.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Omar) glances towards the door "Not at all Jem, just a reminder to everyone here..." he comments before looking back down at the book and lowering his voice "Creven Sir, what we are doing will be dangerous, I can't say how much, but I expect high levels of risk...we're not even sure what or who we're looking for." Omar remarks before looking up at Creven pointing something out in the book at the same time. Creven nods before heading over to the kitchen "I know, but we have to try this."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden wanders out the bathroom, fastening her chain around her neck and glancing at Omar "Maybe look for someone who talks highly of Kyson." she pulls the towel from her hair, letting it fall down her back "Seems he has some kinds of liking for our kids lately." she smiles slightly as Creven passes her before walking to the bedroom, sighing as she goes to deal with her hair.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Seb) - watches Jem before looking back at Creven "Do you really think 'he' has something to do with this?" he asks and Creven shrugs and sighs ”Last time I checked he was dead, but… he has a lot of people all of the place, perhaps even he was working for someone beyond the Levels, I don't know..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden scrapes her hair into a bun, making sure it would be out of the way, before she walks back into the room "There. Im all done." she takes a seat in the chair, watching Seb and Omar closely.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods and smiles softly at Jem before turning his attention to Seb. "I cannot guarantee anyone’s safety in this." he states watching Creven nod again before placing the book in the middle of the middle of the table, he stands and walks across to Creven, who joins him in standing after removing his mothers star ball from its box "Ready when you are."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden takes a deep breath, nodding as she watches Creven with the starball "Im ready." she whispers, biting her lip, nervous.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - glances at Jem before returning his attention back to Seb who nods once before beginning to mumble a succession of words in ancient Kitsune, recited from memory. The softly glowing orb in Creven's hands begins to pulsate in brightness and Creven holds it slightly further away from himself but watches it with a deep interest. Seb continues, his voice getting louder as the light from the orb continues to increase forcing Creven to look away from it, blinking with the brightness.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden stands up and closes her eyes, the light almost blinding her. She covers her face with her hands as the light grows brighter still.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Seb) - immediately stops his chanting as a loud splitting sound breaks through the room and a stream of the light from the orb begins to make a pattern next to the two men. The sliver light weaves itself into and out creating a delicately patterned ring, hanging and shimmering in mid air, as the two ends of the ring meets a pale green hue forms inside the ring, pulsating slightly, looking like a small cloud, never retaining the same shape but changing continuously within the small confines of the sliver light ring. Creven and Seb take a few steps back before taking their eyes on the ring and looking at each other. "The portal to the Levels is open..." Seb says, slightly out of breath, a tone of wonder to his voice along with slight surprise. Creven nods before glancing down at the half-empty star ball in his hand "Just enough for the way back." he comments before looking back at the ring "It really is quite beautiful..." he continues before looking behind himself at a shocked Omar and Jem.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden moves her hands slowly, her eyes trying to refocus. She stares at the ring, open mouthed, nothing else seeming to register with her. She takes a small step closer and stops, blinking as she snaps her head round, finding herself stood next to Seb "Oh. Sorry. I.. I.." she stutters, her eyes searching the room, relaxing as they land on her husband. She walks over to him, embarrassed at herself.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Seb) - chuckles softly at Jem before looking back at Creven "We have about ten minuets before it runs out of light on this end, we must pass through before then." he states as Creven nods wrapping an arm around Jem. Omar stands up and walks across the room picking the book up on his way and hands it to Seb "According to the book, we pass through, just like walking through a door, one-by-one, and will all end up at the same point on the other side."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smile slightly at Seb, still slightly embarrassed as she wraps an arm around Creven "One by one." she repeats, tilting her head "What is going to be waiting on the other side, Seb? Surely opening this here. Well someone must have noticed something on the other side." she states, trying to sound as if she knew what she was talking about.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Seb) - shakes his head "Possibly not, we will be entering on the lowest Level, the darkest one...and most ends come out at already specified spaces, so off the edge of the city in a special centre or something..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods slowly "I think I understand." she shrugs, laughing. "All I need to do is walk through it. Its not like I need to know the technicalities." she shakes her head, grinning.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - laughs "I'm not sure any of us really know the technicalities Jem." he comments before glancing around the room "So who wants to go first?" he asks and Omar steps forward "In my duty to you as a protector, I will go first Creven...just incase."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden chuckles up at Creven and shakes her head. She looks over at Omar "You go first then I will go. If thats ok." she glances back up at Creven, smiling sweetly, slipping her hand back into his.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Omar) nods walking closer to the portal, he glances back at the others "See you on the other side." he comments before stepping through, disappearing through the green mist, completely vanishing from view. Omar finds himself having to blink quickly to adjust to lower light levels and takes a few cautious steps forward as his vision starts to clear. He looks back over his shoulder watching the space behind him shimmer slightly; it had been like just walking through a door. Returning his attention to his surroundings Omar tries to make sense of where he was. From what he could tell he was standing in a ruined building. Rubble strew around, some clearly in its original place, other bits knocked out of place, by a large amount of force in some cases. He ventures slightly further away from the portal exit, he senses working on full alert. He was definitely the only one there, the only other sounds around where the whistling of a slightly cold wind cutting its way through small gaps in the rock surrounding him, there was also another sound, a more mechanical sound coming from over a slight hill to his left accompanied by a light which was being cast into the air, a town of some sort he guessed.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden stares at the green mist as Omar disappears through it. She grips Creven’s hand tighter, biting her lip "Is it my turn?" she asks him, her voice sounding like a small child’s in the silence of the room. She looks up at him, worry and panic set in her face <Im scared.> she closes her eyes and rests her head on him briefly, feeling rather stupid. Shaking her head, she reaches up to kiss him, dropping his hand and making her way to the mist. Glancing over her shoulder, she smiles slightly and steps through it to be met by darkness. She frowns, letting her eyes adjust before looking for Omar. Walking towards him slowly, she was aware of the almost silence and the rubble. She stands next to Omar and wraps her arms round herself, keeping her eyes fixed on the portal.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Omar) - smiles slightly as he walks over to Jem "Pleasant place this, a real holiday destination..." he comments watching as Creven followed by Seb, still holding tightly onto the book both  walk through after each other. "Gentlemen and Jem, welcome to the lowest Level." Seb comments glancing around at their surroundings "This once would have been a great building, designed for the portals, clearly they dont get many visitors here anymore..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles as Seb and Creven appear. She raises her eyebrows, mockingly, at Omar "Surely lady would have been fitting just then." she mutters, glancing around, imagining the rubble to have been a huge, grand, elegant majestic building, home to royals. She glances over at her husband, smiling slightly, her arms still wrapped round herself. She had of course come without a jacket.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - walks across to Jem wrapping an arm around her continuously glancing around "Clearly Seb...but the lowest level? why couldn't we go straight to one of the higher ones?" Creven asks turning to look at his friend who flips open the book "We have neither the power or the money Creven...this is the cheapest level to get to...the bottom one.." Seb remarks and Omar frowns "Power? we have the Kitsune emperor amongst us." he comments looking down at the book. Seb nods but Creven speaks before Seb has the chance "Thats in our world Omar, down here, I'm probably more of a representative of the Kitsune’s in our world...but thats all...I guess." Seb nods at Creven "Perhaps, anyway we have no money, not of the kind used here...I found an old map in the back of this book, from the look of things we should head towards that light and the town of Olisa...once famed here for its great trade routes, this building was known as Olisa's gateways...a focal point for portals..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden jumps slightly before shivering in Creven’s arms, just listening to them all talk. "So I guess the gold, galleons, muggle money and Drachmas I have in my bag are pretty useless." she says, through chattering teeth, glancing at them all. "Can we just get out of here. I'm just cold and its giving me a uneasy feeling. Like we are being watched." she mutters, goosebumps appearing on her arms, another shiver running through her.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods listening to them all before beginning to walk away from the rubble and up a slight incline, climbing slightly before standing straight on top of the hill. "Once famed Seb...this looks more like a slum city than anything else..."Creven comments offering a hand to help Seb up, Omar already at his side. Creven lets out a deep breath, clearly once Olisa had been a great city, its high walls still, for the most part, stood intact. In the archway for a great gate a smaller arch had been built up, a little wooden door in its centre, though even that was partly hanging off its hinges. Through the gaps, even from this distance, Creven could see the ruins of what once must have been great buildings, as high and higher than the wall itself. He shudders slightly wondering how such a place could fall into such a ruin and mess, even the smell brought across on the wind was of ruin and darkness. Omar coughs once before starting his way down the other side of the hill, using old steps which once looked like the must have been gleaming white, but were now wore and blackened.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden tilts her head, watching them all, her arms wrapping themselves around her once more. She glances at Omar briefly, frowning. She knew he had to be there to watch Creven of course, but she couldn’t quite understand why. He was capable of looking after himself. She lets out a small sigh, lowering her eyes from the three of them, shooing it from her mind. Biting her nail, she stares round, squinting into the darkness of the building "Can we please hurry up and leave here. Its really creeping me out." she mutters "And I dont get creeped out easily."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - turns around and offers a hand to Jem "Come on, up here this way." he states before helping her up and starts to follow Omar and Seb down the small stairway. "I think you're going to have to get used to being creeped out for a while...I don't think its going to get much better down here, not on this Level anyway.." Creven explains trying to smile at his wife reassuringly. Seb glances back up at them both "I believe you are right there Creven...the Levels are said to get better as you go up them.."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden takes her husbands hand, glad to be moving along. She smiles slightly back at him "As long as Im with you." she starts, knowing she didnt need to finish that sentence. She nods once at Seb "I believe you. You have the travel guide." she jokes, her mood lightening as they descend the small stairway.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Seb) - laughs slightly "Lets just hope its not too out of date." he states as he reaches the bottom of the hill and joins Omar. There they wait for Creven and Jem before starting to walk towards the smaller gate "Do you think entering is a good idea?" Omar asks Seb with a curious glance. Seb nods once hugging the book to his chest again "Yes, much better than being out in the wilderness, and the pathway to the next level starts inside Olisa...we have to enter, it may also give us some clues as to what things are like here, who’s in control etc."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden stops at the bottom of the stairs, looking round "Some nice decorating" she jokes, looking at the book "Well it is slightly old, by the look of it." she wrinkles her nose "What is that smell!" she exclaims.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Omar) - glances over his should towards Jem "You probably dont want to know." he comments nearing the gate which he knocks on loudly waiting for an answer. Creven softly kisses the top of Jem's head, his eyes fixed on the door as it creaks open on its own letting them enter and closes again behind them. Omar frowns looking around before taking a few steps forward before stopping at the sight in front of him. There was a straight path right in front of them, the edges lined with tin shacks and shelters made from anything the people living in the area could find Omar blinks before looking back around at Creven then returns his attention to an old man slowly approaching them. Seb takes a step forward to the old man who speaks first in a dry raspy voice "Visitors...not in since my grandfathers lifetime have we had any visitors to Olisa...I'm afraid you must have come to the wrong place." he finishes looking at each of the in turn "My human friend, actually I believe we have come to the right place...Olisa is the start of the pathway to the higher Levels is it not?" Seb asks in a professional manner. "Yes good Sir," the man answers with a slight bow "But none have passed through it in over a century, the guards make sure of it." he finishes before looking back up at Seb.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles slightly up at her husband, holding her breath, something she was used to. Wrapping an arm around him for comfort more than anything, she watches the old man approach them, his voice sending shivers down her spine. She says nothing, standing in silence as he talks to Seb. A look of despair crosses her face as he mentions guards, her eyes flicking to Omar before she looks up at Creven "Guards?" she asks under her breath. "I dont like the sound of that."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods slightly before glancing down at Jem and taking a step forward "These guards, who are they?" he asks the man who looks up directly at him. "You people really are not from around here, bless your good souls, return from where you came now, being here is not good for you!" he remarks waving his arms around as Seb takes a step closer to him "We wish to travel to the higher levels, will we be permitted to do so?" he asks quickly, trying to get the man back onto the right topic. "I believe they will, for a price...a price you will have to discuss with them...but we must hurry, they only open the gate for a few hours every week, to deposit of those no longer able to work...come, your timing has been good, but must not let it falter now."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden drops her arm as Creven takes a step closer to the old man. She chews her lip, still staying silent. She didnt want to draw attention to herself. Glancing over at Omar she walks over to him, the look of despair still on her face, now mixed with worry.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods "Can you lead us there?" he asks quickly and the man nods before turning and walking away "Come quickly follow me!" he remarks his pace quickening "What exactly is Olisa now?" Seb asks as he quickly follows the old man. "Where the masters who cant afford to look after old or sick slaves, so they deposit us here..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden follows the old man, still holding her breath as someone whispers in her ear "Dont say a word Jem. I told you I would be here." Jem jumps and just nods once. "I cant help you yet." Jem nods again and sighs, speeding up to catch up with the others.
 <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - frowns listening to the man and Seb and tries to keep his eyes on Omar in front of him rather than letting them wander off into the slum town surrounding him. "I'm sorry to hear that Seb replies, a sad and shocked tone to his voice "These masters you speak of, who are they?" he asks and the man briefly glances back at Seb "You have a curious mind...which is both good and bad in this realm...there are many masters, some much more powerful than others, the ones at the top have to most power and wealth...Kitsune such as yourself, Vampire like the woman travelling with you, the dark demons, different spirit families and about three human masters...dark times are looming at the moment, power is shifting at the top, we can all feel it, the wind has changed direction..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden snaps her head up, staring at the back of the old mans head "Excuse me." she calls out to him "How do you know what I am? What they are?" she catches up with Creven, lacing her hand with his as Corbin’s voice tuts in her ear. "I mean. Am I that much of a giveaway?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- the man turns around a stops briefly facing Jem "My master was a vampire...the people here can tell the difference between the different super-naturals...you people really aren’t from here... is there nothing I can do to persuade you to leave?" he almost pleads before looking between them all and continuing forward.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs and shakes her head "Well I..." she starts and sighs again, shrugging "No. Nothing." she states.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - continues to follow the man "Is there anything we should be careful about here? People we should avoid?" Creven asks quickly and the man laughs slightly "Keep your wits about you or before you know it you'll be in a plantation or working for someone somewhere..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden blinks, in slight shock, glancing round "I dont want..." she starts and shuts up again, just shaking her head and following the group. She glances around her and shudders.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - slips an arm around Jem "Don't look around." he comments kissing her cheek lightly "Just concentrate on the floor..."he suggests before Seb begins to question the man again "Thank you, we will try to be as careful as possible...how much further is it?" he asks quickly beginning to feel slightly uneasy himself "Not much now...but careful in your world, the world above, can be seen as reckless down here, you must be more than careful, please heed my words."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden whimpers slightly nodding at her husband and wraps an arm around his waist, keeping close to him. she lowers her head, keeping her eyes to the floor, doing as she was told. <Im scared> she admits to him.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods slightly <Just dont let anyone here know that> he replies listening once again to the man and Seb "We greatly thank you for this." Seb comments and the man chuckles slightly "No, I thank you greatly, if you are who I think you are." he replies before pointing towards a tall metal gate just ahead of them. Two armed, uniformed guards where standing by entrance, a whimpering woman at their feet while signing a piece of paper on a clipboard held by a young looking female, dressed lavishly, a black velvet patterned coat reaching to just above her knees, tight black trousers an unmistakable turquoise shirt and black fitted waistcoat. She mutters something to the guards before looking up at the group of people approaching.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods a small thank you to the old man as they pass him, glancing up briefly as she hears the whimpers of the woman. Her arm tightens around Creven <Im not going to say a thing. Just don’t leave me on my own> she takes in the woman’s appearance before looking at the guards, her eyes widening in shock. "Jem. Keep quiet. Head down. Do not draw attention to yourself." Jem nods slightly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods glancing at Jem quickly <I won't>he responds as their group comes to a stop. "Here again Amara?" the old man questions and the girl nods "The last lot seemed to have been a bad batch, and you know he wont settle for anything less than perfect." she replies, her voice silky as walks over to the man before taking in Omar, Seb, Creven and Jem one by one "Your friends aren't from these parts...at all." she comments before looking back at the man "Forgive me but I must leave presently." she finishes quickly before turning around and walking back towards the gate. Omar and Seb exchange a quick look with Creven before the man yells after the girl "Amara please, I have a request for you?" The young woman stops and turns around quickly "He is doing what he can but currently can do no more-" she starts before being cut off by the man "These people do not belong here, take them back with you...please..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden takes a step closer to Creven as the girl takes them all in. She shudders, not liking the way she was looking at them. Any other time she would have stood and snapped at her, asking what her problem was, but she needed to be on her best behaviour, and that meant saying nothing, as she had been told. Twice. Her eyes flicker between the man and the girl as they exchange words, lowering her head and biting her lip.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - blinks again looking at all of them again, taking longer this time and going back to Creven "Impossible." she comments before shaking her head "John, you know I can't take them all the way...I cant afford it." she starts but the man walks closer to her, taking one of her hands in his "Just out of here and through the next two levels quickly...somewhere they'll be safer." he replies as Amara looks down at their hands, she briefly makes eye contact with John before nodding "Fine..." she looks back up at Creven again "John are you sure?" she asks not ever trying to be discrete.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden glances over at Omar, frowning as she glances over at Seb, confused. Her eyes flick back to the woman and the man talking. Her eyes narrow slightly and she holds back a growl as the woman glances over at Creven more than once. She notes the eye contact <They're...Kistune. Arent they> she looks up at her husband, blinking.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - shakes his head before looking down at Jem <No, he's human...shes...I don't know what she is.> he replies before looking up as Amara walks towards them. "Creven Calanon, I guess I should welcome you to the Levels...some of us have been expecting you." she remarks a slight smirk on her face as she holds out a hand "Trust me or not, it would be in your best intention to follow me now." she finishes, keeping her eyes, an odd mix of green, blue and hazel, fixed onto Creven. Seb and Omar crowd around slightly "You knew we were coming?" Seb asks slightly confused. "Oh yes, my employer has been looking forward to meeting you, and hoped to do so before others...I will guide you through the Levels."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden stands up to her full height, snapping her head to look at Seb and Omar, confused <If shes not.. then...> she stares at the woman, tilting her head as she grips Creven "Are you going to listen to her? We have only just met her." she continues staring at her, flicking some loose hair from her face.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods "I am...I don't know why I am...but I am..." he mutters slightly confused as Amara smiles "Good...then shall we begin.." she comments and points towards the gate. Seb and Omar both nod and follow as Creven starts walking after Amara who nods once at John, throws something to him then walks up to and through the gate onto the road beyond.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs, rubbing her husbands back "Ok then. I guess we are following her then." she mutters, dropping back slightly, just behind Seb and Omar. She mutters under her breath and laughs slightly, glancing up "I dont trust her, Corbin." "Nether do I Jem. But Creven does. Trust his instincts. For now at least." Jem sighs, nodding, hoping no one else could hear what she was saying.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - glances over her shoulder letting the others pass through first, quickly she grabs Jem's wrist "You need to be careful vampire, the places we are going will be even more risky for you than them as new comers...the Levels are dark and dangerous, the lower ones full of disease and death...do not get lost, or worse." she comments the colours in her eyes swirling, her deep brown hair swaying softly in a warm gentle breeze "The wind has changed direction, very few are currently safe." she comments releasing Jem's hand and walking over to Seb and the others.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden snaps her head up as the girl grabs her wrist. She hisses, warningly "Let me go now.” she orders, trying to shake her off "I told them I would behave and I will. Unless I am provoked" she lets out a low growl, her eyes flashing, her anger flared slightly. The girl drops her wrist and walks back off. Jem takes a deep breath to calm down, her eyes glued to the back of her head. "If she tries that again..." she starts, not moving "Dont Jem. Please. Just keep your promise. Ok." Jem sighs "I know Corbin. Jeez!" she grumbles, as she starts walking to catch up with the rest of them.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) glances back over her shoulder at Jem before starting to talk to Creven "One of our seers saw you and your party coming here a few days ago...I'm glad I was one of the first to meet you, you may not believe me but you can trust me." she states as Creven nods "Amara I know, I feel like we've met before somehow...why is that?" he asks fixing his full attention onto the young women next to him as he softly runs a hand through her hair, she slaps him away quickly "Because I've been trying to contact you through your dreams ever since we worked out who you were Creven." she explains smiling slightly at the shocked look on his face "I don't understand, how is that possible? Who are you? Who do you work for?" he asks in sequence and Amara chuckles again "All in good time Creven, we have a long road ahead of us, I can't use the express way with all of you, so we'll take the long route."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden growls slightly louder than she wanted as she catches up with Omar and Seb, her arms folded. She hisses "She needs to stop that or I will break her fingers." she mutters under her breath, her bright blue eyes flickering red. "I need you two to make sure I stay away from her. I dont trust her. Not in the slightest." she whispers, rolling her eyes at the tutting again in her ear. She glances over her shoulder and rolls her eyes slightly "What?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Seb) - nods "Jem, there’s something about her though...quite captivating really." he starts before being nudged by Omar "Leave off old man, she’s way closer to my age." he teases and turns around quickly as Amara looks over to them.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden rolls her eyes, laughing before linking her arms with both of theirs "Now now boys. Since my husband is otherwise distracted, maybe you two should be keeping an eye on me, making sure I dont get into trouble. Apparently I need to be careful." she rolls her eyes again.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Omar) - nods "Distracted is certainly the word...anyone would be...but yes, if she really is here to help us please dont go upsetting her Jem..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden scoffs "Sure looks that way" she sighs "Whatever, Im not even going to go near her, but I swear that if she touches me again, I will retaliate." she warns them.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - catches up with Jem and the others Creven falling into line of the other side of Seb "Good luck with that Jem, really good luck with it..." she comments, her eyes bright in the dim light.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden scowls at Amara, glances at Creven and continues walking, her head held high "Dont push it then."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) smiles "Becareful Jem, I could take that as a challenge!" she taunts walking quicker in front of Jem, backwards to face her. Amara laughs again before turning around and pointing ahead "That spec of light you can see, which will start growing larger is the gateway to the next Level, we need to pass through that to the next gate...which I can get you through, then cross another Level to the gateway, there will be problems at that one, I may have to leave you there and come back...thats if we make it through the next two Levels...they are much large than then one you have just been through, at least ten times larger...."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden laughs slightly and shakes her head "I dont back down from a challenge" she warns "But I have promised to be on my best behaviour." she narrows her eyes slightly, looking where she was pointing.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods looking over her shoulder at Jem "Oh I know..." she smiles again before picking up her pace "It will be better if we can reach the next Level before sunset..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head, ignoring her taunts. She glances over at her husband and sighs "Well what are we waiting for then?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - takes Jem's hand and quickens his own pace to match Amara's <Trust her Jem, I kinda know her...from my dreams recently> he admits watching as Seb and Omar also try to keep up better with Amara’s now near jogging speed walking pace.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs slightly <Its funny how she can get into your dreams and others cant> she speeds up her walking to keep up "So why before sunset? What happens?" she asks as Corbin’s voice whispers "Not yet Jem. He needs a clear head ok. Wait until you get home. For his sake." she nods again.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - rolls his eyes before looking down at Jem <She’s powerful Jem, very powerful...I can feel it...> he replies before looking up as Amara answers "The slave traders come out looking so see if they can quietly snatch anyone away...robbers will sneak around, rough vampires and werewolves...we don't want to be out at night..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden looks up, catching Creven rolling his eyes. She shakes her head, shuddering "I dont like the sound of that. Im not in the mood to fight for my life right now." she glances round as if she were expecting to be attacked from all angles at once.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods and smiles slightly "Neither am I...although I fear that fight lays not far in the future ahead of us." she replies more quietly than before, still walking towards the light Seb and Omar exchange another glance before Omar questions her "Amara what do you mean by that?" he joins her at her side quickly to ask his question. She glances over and frowns slightly "The balance of power is shifting around on the two upper most Levels, mine and the highest one...many believe a war is brewing, some say it will either change the Levels to some better way or it will destroy all of them..." she explains with a slight shrug "I'm hoping its the former of the two." she finishes and Omar nods "Amara, what is your Level like? you've mentioned your employer once before...earlier..." Seb asks, his curiosity in full swing, still clutching the book to his chest. Amara smiles looking at him "Xipilli, or just Pilli to those close to him, or master, sir to those below him...his name actually means jewel, which is very fitting as thats what he does, we're the biggest designer, manufacture and seller of fine jewellery, his family always have been...own the largest gem mines to be found anywhere! He saved my life when I was younger, I owe him everything...he's human, mostly anyway."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden raises her eyebrows, listening "I dont want to fight." she starts <I just want to get our baby back.> squeezes Creven’s hand, close to tears. She barely hears Amara’s words, until she looks up and sees her talking to Omar, then Seb "I think they are going to end up arguing over her" she whispers to Creven, holding back a small smile before calling out "Amara, what do you mean, mostly human?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - chuckles "Perhaps, but Seb is already married, and I think Omar has an arranged marriage." Creven comments casually. Amara hears Jem and turns around quickly, walking backwards again "He's been genetically modified by the man that was originally his master, he left everything to Pilli...I can't tell you the specifics." she replies with a smile before turning back around, the light in front getting much brighter and clearer.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden rolls her eyes "Well marriage or not, Im just saying." she giggles, raising her eyebrows at Amara "Oh. Erm, I didnt know that. I didnt want to know specifics." she starts, before blinking at the light.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles again and softly kisses Jem's cheek listening to Amara "And how did he save your life?" Creven asks her. Amara chuckles, glancing over her shoulder quickly "Again thats something else I can't tell you." she replies before coming to a stop, the light in front of her the same shape as a door.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden grins and wraps her arm around him as he kisses her cheek "You're very cryptic, Amara." she grins slightly "Is that to the next Level?" she asks, the smile falling from her face, her grip tightening.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods to Jem "In this place you have to be...and yes it is..." she comments before stepping through, waiting on the other side for the others to follow, again on a similar looking road to which they had just walked down. Turning around she faces the others "Best not to say anything to the guards...this is mainly a vampire Level..." she comments before walking on towards another metal looking gate.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden bites her lip and drops her arm from around her husband "Well this should be fun." she sighs, sarcasm in her words "Im not looking forward to this." she kisses Creven’s cheek "See you on the other side" she grins slightly and follows Amara cautiously.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - smiles slightly at Jem "They will sense you immediately...but we must find somewhere to stay for tonight, I know a good place not face from here..." she replies before walking up to one of the guards, dressed exactly the same as the ones before. After a brief conversation she waves the others through, waiting for them on the other side of the gate.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods at Amara and lets out a small sight. She stays on the spot, watching her as she waits for Creven, Seb and Omar. Her eyes stare past the guards and she takes a breath, her hand flying to her mouth "I can smell them." she mutters, closing her eyes and counting slowly to take her mind off it.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods "Yeah...not very discrete...they like human slaves here, you can probably smell the blood..." she adds before glancing between the three Kitsune with her. "Stay close, the light is fading, and we are already being watched." she explains before quickly beginning to walk around to the left of a selection of Victorian looking buildings, the paint faded and wood stained an odd colour.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods, opening her eyes, a red haze over them. She knew the blood had hit her and there was nothing she could do about it. She glances at Creven, wide eyed <Help.> she begged him. She knew this was going to be difficult for her. She was frozen to the spot, unable to make her feet move. Her breathing grew rapid and she was light headed. "I dont think I can do this." she muttered.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - spins around quickly to face Jem "Look, you have to do this Jem, we don't have long before the light fades, not long at all...minuets in fact..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden snarls at Amara "You dont think I know that! Do you really want me to go in, uncontrolled, and ruin this for all of us?" she snaps "No, I dont think you do. You dont understand, Amara. I dont feed like they do. I dont want to feed like they do." she growls.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods "You think I don't know what they're like here? how they feed? I've lived here all my life Jem, don't lecture me on how others do things around here because I've seen it, I've been part of it! If I had my way vampires wouldn't exist anymore, at least not the kind that are here!" Amara almost yells before turning and walking quickly "Creven, Seb, Omar...follow me -
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- quickly." she commands, knowing she had to at least get the Kitsune to safety first, then deal with Jem.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden glares at Amara, folding her arms across her chest "Im not lecturing you in anything. I'm just stating the facts. Im not like them." she repeats, slowly, watching Creven, Seb and Omar walk after Amara. Jem lowers her head, ashamed at her outburst, tears rolling down her cheek. She wasnt like them. She didnt feed from humans. She sinks to the floor, waiting.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - breaks into a run the three following behind her, at the door to a small inn she hands Creven a small bag "Show them the seal first, then pay for two rooms...I'll find Jem." She explains quickly before turning around "Amara wait!" Creven calls after her but she turns around, the darkness getting thicker "Shelter Creven....now...I'll find her!" Amara yells back, watching them disappear into the inn and safety for now before she runs back to where they left Jem, the darkness accompanied by a silvery fog covering the entire area.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head, hearing Amara yelling. She stands up, slowly, a growl in her throat as she rests her hands on her hips, hearing the running feet of Amara heading in her direction. Jem narrows her eyes, her lip curled up, a feral snarl escaping her as she waits.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - yells again trying to locate Jem. Suddenly she stops and stands completely still, all her senses on full alert. Amara herself was also for the most part human, just like Xipilli, he had saved her life by injecting her with his own genetically enhanced and modified blood, which had led to the development of both of their enhanced abilities, which Amara was tapping into now. "Jem?" she calls out again "The others are safe, we should go now too...where are you?" she asks, her voice remaining calm and in control.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden hisses and rolls her eyes "Im over here Amara." she paces the area slowly, kicking up some dirt as she did so. Holding her breath had worked, calmed her down instantly. She had never been like that before. It freaked her out a little bit. Jem stands still, shaking slightly, as if she had just noticed the dark. "Amara?" she calls.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - walks slightly closer hearing Jem's movement "Jem? Are you alright?" she asks through the darkness letting her eyes completely adjust giving her better vision.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods "Sure I am. I dont ..." she mutters, biting her lip "I dont know what came over me. Please Amara. Take me to Creven" she pleads in a whisper "Im sorry." she holds her breaths quickly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods appearing at Jem's side and offers a hand to her "Come on, it’s not too far." she replies smiling slightly.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden reaches out to take Amara's hand, nodding, not speaking incase she got hit by blood again. She returns the slight smile.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods and grips Jem's hand before leading her through the murky darkness trying to trace her exact footsteps again back to the inn.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shivers, feeling like she is being watched. She glances over her shoulder, not knowing where they are. She runs alongside Arama.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - pauses sharply glancing around before slipping a hand into her pocket and pulling out a single, high decorated but slender dagger from the inside of her coat. She resumes walking but more slowly, with caution.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden oofs as she runs into Amara. Regaining her balance, she continues walking the same pace as Amara as she stares at the dagger, wondering if they were almost there.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - bangs on the inn door quickly and beams at Seb as he opens it "Found her." she remarks as she pushes Jem through the door, shuts and locks it behind them before repocketing her dagger
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden gasps and breathes normally again as she is pushed in through the door, almost falling over. "Im sorry everyone. I..." she sighs and buries her face in her hands.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - catches Jem as she nearly falls wrapping his arms around her "How long are we going to be here?" he asks looking directly up at Amara. The young woman shrugs slightly "I can buy some transport to get through this level quicker than normal, but then that means the next one will have to be done on foot, unless we can talk people into helping us." she replies before heading towards the stairs. "Right now we should all get some sleep, Seb, Omar take one room - Creven, Jem have the other." she comments, almost an order. "What about you?" Omar asks as he walks across to Amara who smiles softly. "I'll find a nice comfy chair in this inn, place it outside your rooms and keep watch, just in case." Amara says before turning around and walking up the stairs.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden grabs Creven before she falls over, taking a few deep breaths <Sorry. I lost control out there> she slaps herself mentally. She shouldn't have, but there was too much blood in the air. She shudders slightly. "But, Amara. You need to sleep." she starts, looking around "Theres no comfy chairs."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - softly kisses her forehead and shakes his head <Don't worry Sweet Jem> he replies before watching Amara leave, not replying to Jem's comment.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs as she closes her eyes, stifling a yawn. She leans against him <Im not going to get any sleep, you know that right?> she sighs,, watching Amara "Come on then, sleep. At least for a few hours." she starts walking up the stairs, this time yawning loudly, stretching.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles softly looking down at Jem "We have to try, somethings telling me we're going to need it...theres also a few things I should tell you in private." he explains before taking her hand and walking towards and up the stairs, taking the first corridor off the stairs and the second room. Creven opens the creaky door into a large room, surprisingly well furnished. and orangery light filling the room from the only light hanging down from the centre of the ceiling. "Well slightly better than expected." Creven comments heading over to the bed and sitting on the edge.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden glances over her shoulder, calling out a good night to Seb, Omar and Amara. Her eyes widen as she looks round the room "Wow this is amazing." she whispers, glancing at Creven, her head tilted as she stops in the doorway "What do you mean, theres something’s you need to tell me?" she asks, closing the door behind her.
<GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - fixes his eyes on Jem "A couple of things about why I'm trusting Amara, going into more detail about what I said about her and dreams." he starts patting the space on the bed next to himself. "There’s not much, but you should know...I didn't tell you before as I thought you'd over react."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden locks her eyes on his, a small smile on her face as she walks over to join him on the bed "Well we seem to have all night." she murmurs, sitting next to him "Tell me everything." she smiles up at him
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods "A few days ago I started having a dream about this girl, well, Amara...she was trying to find information about me, it was just like having a conversation with someone I didn't expect it to somehow be real." he explains before shrugging.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden chuckles slightly "You were dreaming of her? Could you hear what was being said? she hides a small grin on her face.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods "Well its all blurry...parts of it..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden pulls her legs up onto the bed "Blurry? Thats not right, surely. Who was she talking to?"she asks.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - shrugs "Dreams are hard to remember...she was talking to me, questioning me."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden raises her eyebrows "You were able to talk!" she exclaims, louder than she was meant to. "I'm so confused. I dont know what to say."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods "Its partly a Kitsune thing, but shes definitely not Kitsune Jem...I still can't work out what she is."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden frowns slightly "I thought she was. The way she was looking at the old man, they seemed to be talking I just assumed." Jem shrugs, sighing slightly as she lays her head on him.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - shakes his head "The man was human Jem, no doubt about it, and Amara is partially human, but theres something else too...I always want to try to work out how she knew we were coming find out more about this seer she mentioned."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs again "Always doing something arent you." she giggles slightly, shaking her head "What do you have in mind?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods and smiles "Naturally...I'm not sure yet...I trust her but at the same time, I'm slightly wary."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden yawns again and nods "I know. I dont trust her. But thats for a whole different reason." she mutters.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - blinks before crawling further onto the bed "What do you mean by that?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head, sitting up as he moves "Nothing. It doesnt matter."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - rolls over onto his back watching her "You're jealous again..." he comments before yawning.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head as she lays down next to him "Not really." she yawns, laying her head back on him.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - chuckles softly closing his eyes "Well the next few days are certainly going to be interesting."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden giggles and pokes him "Hey, now. I said I wasnt going to be jealous." she snuggles up to him "Its not my fault I have such a handsome husband." she grins.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - laughs "Actually I wasn't talking about that..." he comments wrapping an arm around her "More about what could happen."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden blinks, raising her eyebrows "Meaning what, exactly?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles softly "Have you paid any attention to where we are, anything could happen here..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head "Here in particular? No. Im trying not to focus on that."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods "Yes, and whatever lies beyond, I doubt it will get any easier."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles slightly "And thats why Im not trying to think about it." she looks up at him "I just want to focus on the baby." she whispers, tears filling her eyes.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods again opening his eyes to look at her "Then focus on it." Creven comments kissing the top of her head.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles up at him, curling closer as she yawns again "Im trying. Im really trying. Being here is hard for me. I need to block out all my instincts to feed, hunt. Everything."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods "Just do as much as you can!"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods "I am. I said I would be good." she smiles and leans up to kiss him passionately.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods kissing her briefly before snuggling down and yawning.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden rolls her eyes slightly before snuggling down, wrapping her arms round him.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles softly before falling asleep. - Amara paces outside the doors, glancing at Creven and Jem's door smiling slightly. She paces back down the corridor running a hand through her hair; she pulls it up into a high pony tail and ties it simply from a band on her wrist. Amara places her hand over her neck, tracing a small circular outline with one of her fingers. Jumping slightly at a tapping noise on a window at the far end of the corridor, curious she walks over and opens it with a smile, revealing a raven on the other side. "Your far from home." Amara says to the bird softly stroking it before removing a note off its leg which she reads and nods before watching the bird fly back out into the darkness. Quickly she shuts the window and heads down the stairs to the deserted desk of the inn.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden yawns again, looking over to the door as she hears footsteps outside. She sighs, listening as they fade away. Yawning again, Jem lays her head back down, and closes her eyes, her arms still around her husband, a small smile on her face as she dozes in and out of sleep.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - rummages around the desk looking for anything she could find which would seem of some form of value. She had received bad news from her own Level, getting back would be harder than she originally expected. After a few minuets Amara finds a hidden cupboard at the bottom of one of the desk draws containing a safe, within a few minuets and the aid of a hairpin from her pocket she manages to pick the lock and removes half of the contents into one of her coat pockets before closing it again, leaving everything as she found it and walks back up the stairs standing exactly between the two rooms
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sits up, yawning after a few hours of hardly sleeping. She looks round the room and heads to the door. Listening she opens it, holding her breath as she walks out the door, shutting it behind her. She jumps, and slaps her hand over her mouth "Amara. Whoa. You made me jump." she whispers. "Couldn’t sleep." she explains.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - smiles slightly at Jem before nodding "You seem to be the only one, everyone else is asleep." she comments before leaning against the nearest wall and folding her arms across her chest, fixing her eyes on Jem.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shrugs slightly "Yes, well. How am I meant to sleep with them out there?" she whispers, not wanting to wake anyone up "It could be very awkward you know, Amara, but I dont want it to be." she sighs slightly, sliding down the wall and sitting on the floor.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods glancing over to the window before looking back at Jem "Why would it be?" she asks, already knowing multiple reasons just wanting to hear them confirmed.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs and looks up at her "Its just a feeling I have." she mutters "And they arent usually wrong. If you have any idea what I really am."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - tilts her head to the side studying Jem "Your mainly vampire, however I sense other powers, powers of the Greek gods...those powers will not help you here, the gods fear the Levels and they have a right too." she comments in a reply before looking away from Jem and back down the corridor "Everything you see here has some literally meaning, there is no fate and there is a thin line between right and wrong, good and evil...which on a daily basis cross paths. Our ways are not human, barbaric most of the time...but its necessary to achieve anything. In any of the Levels all that matters in power and wealth."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden hold her breath as she listens before following Amara's gaze down the corridor "The gods fear the Levels." she raises her eyebrows "Thats not good." she sighs, heavily, shaking her head "Im not looking forward to this in the slightest. It just goes from bad to bloody worse, doesn’t it." she half growls.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods "There are those down here who posses more power than the gods..." she replies simply, used to the idea. Amara laughs slightly "It seems to, but the higher Levels are good, its just getting to them which is the problem."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden snaps her head up "A problem? What kind of problem?" she asks "I have to get there. By any means. Its a matter of..."she stops, not wanting to divulge further into her reasons to a woman she hardly knew. Jem just shuts up and picks at her nails.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - smiles slightly "The Levels arent easy to pass through...it costs, people will try to stop us, the gates get harder to go through." she shrugs slightly before continuing "A lot depends on the people you know and power you have."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden blinks a few times "And I'm guessing you know a few people?" she loos back up "What was the transport you mentioned earlier?" she asks, her curiosity peaked slightly, due to the fact she hadnt seen transport of any kind since they had arrived. Not that she was looking for any.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) -nods and smiles again "That I certainly do, some of the highest...Pilli knows all the important people at the top, we have had comissions from them all...I've also made my own contacts over the years, some people nicer than others, but you can't be chosey about personality when you need to know important people." she explains before glancing around the corridor and looking back at Jem "Horseback...its cheap and doesnt draw too much attention."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden chuckles at Amara "Well, you wouldnt be out of place as a Calanon" she grins, glancing at the bedroom door before looking back at Amara and standing up, leaning against the wall "What are you looking for?" she frowns slightly, straining her ears.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) -shrugs and smiles "Oh I would...you don't know me Jem, don't make assumptions about me, for I fear you'll be wrong and won't like the truth." she admits before also standing up "Nothing, just down here I'm more wary than normal...I have power and wealth, some down here would like to exploit that fact."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden scoffs slightly "I just meant with your connections. I mean, even whatever you are, it still wouldnt be out of place. Not really." she laughs slightly "Im a vampire, married to a Kitsune” she lowers her voice "who was supposed to kill me." she sighs slightly, forcing a smile on her face. "So power and wealth are something desired? For what? Trade or something." she coughs "Sorry. Im just trying to figure everything out." she explains.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) -shakes her head "Jem that’s the norm down here...what I am doesn't exist where you come from, not to the same extent anyway, no where near." Amara comments looking back over at Jem fixing her eyes back on her "Yes very much so, power is everything...magical power and power over people. For everything, its fine, the questions will probably help for your future here."  Amara replies before continuing again "Theres a huge social structure here, with slaves and worse at the bottom, going up through the paid servants, free people, business owners, land owners empire owners, then those at the very top who sit around and do nothing but are damn rich because of the people who work for them and at the very top are those known as the mighty...currently its a Vampire Clan...ruthless and rather reckless, if they want something they get it, whatever the cost...and something has really rattled them at the moment, I got a letter from Pilli earlier, things are getting worse, theres another clan or group who is questioning for leadership."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden stares at Amara as she talks "So there’s a hierarchy of power. Thats normal." she starts "You get that everywhere. But." she holds her hand up to stop Amara from interrupting "But Im not too keen on the idea of a Vampire Clan. And that says something, coming from a vampire." she shudders slightly "I have seen and met a few vampires in our world that like the power, the feeling of being on the top." she snorts "Well thinking they are at the top." her attention fixes back on Amara ”Letter from who?" she asks "Another question for leadership? Does that mean we are pretty much in the middle of the start of a war of kinds, so to speak?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) -nods paying full attention to Jem as she folds her arms "Yes the Opulens Clan...I've had a few, shall we say dealings with them. Their main leader, a rather ruthless man seems to be under the impression that I'll marry his Son one day, but its not going to happen...they have kept the peace over the last century but thats the only real good thing about them." she smiles slightly pulling a piece of paper out of her pocket "Xipilli, my...employer...he likes to keep me updated on everything..."she explains before slipping the paper back inside her pocket, Amara nods at Jem's last question "Yes by the sounds of things...no one seems to know why though, all the top leaders are fine with the Opulens, they keep the rich rich and the poor in order this new group seem to have suddenly come out of the woodwork so to speak."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden tilts her head, mulling thing over, nodding slowly "I dont fully understand. But I think I understand enough. For now at least." she yawns "Arranged marriage, huh." she jokes, before turning serious again "So when is it safe to leave again?" she questions, shivering slightly "The rich keep the rich close. Everyone else is considered scum, pretty much, right?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) -shakes her head "Its not happening, I'd rather die than marry him..." she comments her voice deeper than usual, a threatening tone.”As soon as the light starts to rise, we'll head straight to the stables, buy the horses and tack then be on our way, it should only take us a couple of days as long as we stick to the straight road." Amara explains before nodding again "Got it in one Jem."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden holds her hands up in defence "I was kidding. Trying to lighten the mood." she shakes her head, grinning slightly "First light. Ok." raising her eyes brows she blinks "Horses. I havent ridden a horse before." she admits. ”Im used to riding a broom." she laughs nodding again "A...few days?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) -tilts her head to the side "A broom? we generally use those for cleaning here...Horses are the best form of transport down here...yes about two or three."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden laughs, doubling over "Wow, we sure do come from two different worlds." she giggles gasping for breath, shutting up quickly, slapping her hand over her mouth.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) -nods and smiles "Completely different." she comments before raising an eyebrow watching Jem "You okay?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods, still giggling "Yes, Im fine. I just dont want to wake them up." she nods to the bedroom doors.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) -nods, slightly slowly "I wish I could help with your...instincts...but theres nothing I can do."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden stops laughing and stand up properly "I wish there was too. I cant see anything." she grumbles "I just dont like it."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - raises her eyebrows again "See anything? What do you mean by that?" she asks quizzically.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden takes a deep breath "I think I better explain a few things about myself." she smiles slightly "I dont just have the powers of some of the Greek gods. Im a seer." she starts "Where it came from, Im not sure. I kind of had it when I was human. It just seems to have gotten stronger since I have been turned." she explains. "Although, I dont see a lot of things."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) -nods "Oh that would explain why you can't see things here, some of the gods actually lose their powers when they are here...our seers must use a different form of magic or something."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden raises an eyebrow "Some of the Gods have been here?" she asks, slightly shocked "I wonder what magic the seers here use." she muses out loud.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) -shrugs glancing over to the window "Its getting lighter outside!" she comments walking over to it. "Thats faster than normal, something is definitely changing on the higher levels."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden follows Amara to the window "Yeah, it sure is getting light." she sighs, glancing to the bedrooms "Shall we wake them and get ready to go?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) -nods looking back over her shoulder "Yes, we need to be leaving quickly." she remarks before knocking loudly on Seb and Omar's door before walking through and reappearing with a pair of slightly sleepy looking Kitsune "Jem get Creven and meet us outside." Amara comments quickly on her was past down the stairs.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods watching Amara. She flashes a grin at the sleepy Omar and Seb "Morning boys" she winks "Sleep well I hope" she chuckles and slips into the bedroom, walking to the side of the bed and kissing Creven's cheek "Wakey wakey my love. Its time to go." she whispers in his ear, brushing his fringe from his eyes.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - moans slightly before snapping awake and sitting up quickly "Already, wow quick night..." he remarks softly kissing Jem before standing, taking her hand and walking out of the inn meeting the others all outside, in a slightly odd murky light. Amara smiles slightly at Creven before pointing to the left and telling them all to keep up with her pace.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles at Creven, kissing him back before letting him lead her outside. She grins at Seb and Omar before looking where Amara was pointing and setting off after her, half dragging Creven with her. "Come on. Anyone would think you were the ones up talking all night." she flashes him a cheeky smile, rolling her eyes slightly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles slightly rubbing his eyes "It felt like I was. Amara was in my dreams again." he mutters keeping his voice low "Something’s wrong too...I can tell." he finishes before picking up the pace slightly keeping up with the others. "Horses!" Seb exclaims walking next to Amara who chuckles slightly "Great. This is going to go really well.” he comments before mumbling to himself as he starts flicking through the Levels guide book again.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden snaps her head round to her husband and stops <She was what? But I was with her almost all night> she frowns "What was she doing?" she murmurs, not paying attention to the others. "And what do you mean, something’s wrong?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - Grabs Jem's hand keeping walking and keeps talking to her in his mind not to be overheard <Talking again, getting more information...but at one point she stopped, the whole dream went funny, fuzzy and I felt another presence for a brief moment...> he tries to explain with a brief sideways glance at Jem, the others still laughing in front about Seb.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden glances up at him <What do you mean another presence?> she frowns <What did she want this time?> she laces her hand with his and sighs slightly, staring blankly ahead for a moment <I got some things out of her> she grins slightly, squeezing his hand.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - shakes his head quickly looking down at Jem again <It felt like someone else was there with us...> he tries to explain before looking back up again <Specifics of why we are here really? what did she tell you?> he asks glancing down at her again before looking back up watching Amara from behind.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden tilts her head <I dont understand why she would need to be in your dreams.> she scowls slightly before replaying the conversation she had with Amara during the night. She grins up at him slightly as she finishes <Told you Im a good girl> she giggles out loud, nudging him.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - shrugs <I have no idea Jem...> he comments before listening and nodding at everything <Well that clears a few things up, and yes, I'm proud of you.>
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles up at him, blushing slightly <Aww you think the sweetest things.> she wraps her arm around him as they walk behind the others <Three days> she sighs.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles leaning his head on hers<Hopefully it will go quickly...time seems to be different here.>
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods <I hope so. I have a feeling things are going to be a hell of a lot worse soon though.>
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - glances over her shoulder towards Jem and Creven "Are you two coming or not? The stables aren't much further now!" she exclaims before continuing her conversation with Seb and Omar Creven smiles slightly "Pushy this one..." he comments before softly squeezing Jem’s hand and picks up the pace to keep up with the others.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden raises her eyebrows at Amara and scoffs slightly, wanting to retort with a rude gesture but stops herself "Yes, we're coming." she snaps, and giggles at Creven "Apparently so..." she mutters, squeezing his hand back and leaning against him as they walk faster.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - rolls her eyes listening to Jem before concentrating on the direction in which they were walking. She turns a corner guiding the rest of the party and stops in front of a small wooden fence looking out across a few fields and a set of stables. "Stay here." she orders Seb and Omar before walking through the gate and over to a man sat on a chair outside one of the stable  doors. Omar folds his arms as he watches Amara and the man talk before leaning closer to Seb "Do you think there’s any chance she’s single?" he whispers as Seb laughs "I wouldn't get your hopes up too much Omar, don't forget where we are." he comments also watching the young girl "She has an odd story that one, which so far is untold..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden raises her eyebrows at Amara and shakes her head, tutting slightly as she tightens her grip on Creven’s hand, stopping next to Seb and Omar. She chuckles slightly "Omar." she grins at him "Im fairly certain she isnt single." she drops Creven’s hand and wraps her arm around him, leaning her head against him. She jumps slightly at the sound of Corbin’s voice next to her "Jem. Its going to get a lot more dangerous now. Watch what you are doing." he warns her to which she just nods once before peering across, squinting her eyes at Amara and the man she was currently talking to.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - laughs slightly slipping an arm around Jem "I'd have to agree with you there..." he comments also looking across the small distance trying to see if he could tell what they were talking about. Amara shakes her head a few times before trying to haggle with the man again. She sighs agreeing on a price before paying the man, who walks off then reappears with three horses, all jet black in colour and ready saddled. Amara takes the reins from him and walks back across the field, the horses following. "Looks like you are all going to have to double up, prices have gone up around here, the best is even more expensive than it used to be." she comments before handing one set of reins to Omar and the other to Creven. "This lot are easy enough to ride...just tell them were to go telepathically, the Kitsune among us will be able to do that...or rather, just tell them to follow me and my horse." she explains frowning slightly before mounting her horse and walking around the others in a neat circle.
 <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden stares at the magnificent animals as Amara leads them back. Listening to her speak, Jem glances up at Creven <Dont let me have to ride on my own. I havent done it before> she begs, a pleading look in her eyes s she glances back to the horses, shaking slightly. Raising her eyebrows’ at Amara’s frown, she tilts her head "Hey! Just because Im different, doesn’t mean I can’t speak telepathically" she snaps at her.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods looking down at Jem "Oh I know Jem, but these are Kitsune horses...their trainers were Kitsune." she comments before pulling the reins slightly walking a little distance away from the others. Seb and Omar mount quickly helping each other and Creven offers Jem a lift up "Jem, she knows what she’s doing around here..." he comments glancing back over at Amara quickly "For now, we follow and do everything she says..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden mutters under her breath as she accepts Creven’s help up "Thats not the point. I know we need her help and whatever." she glances down at him as she gets as comfortable as she can on the horse, her eyes flickering bright red as she narrows her eyes <And would it really kill you to stop staring at her?> she shakes her head and grabs the reigns tight.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - pulls himself up behind Jem wrapping his arms around her "I'm keeping an eye on her to make sure shes not up to anything Jem, thats all." he whispers into her ear before kissing her cheek softly "I've told the horse to follow, you shouldn't have to do much with it." he adds before leaning his chin on her shoulder watching Seb and Omar, Omar with the reins, Seb still tightly hugging the book. "We should be riding for about two days until we reach the next gate...after that, we come to the third Level out of five...its a divide between the bottom two and the top two...a great forest...but lets not worry about that until we get there!" Amara explains glancing over her shoulder before flicking her reins, her horse moving forward at a quick trot.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shivers, the voice of her husband in her ear sending chills down her spine. She nods, barely able to say a word. She looks over at Omar and Seb, chuckling slightly. She lets out a small purr, closing her eyes as Creven kisses her cheek. She turns her head round, kissing his lips slowly as the horse starts to trot after Amara <When we get home, you better be taking me horse riding.> she grins, laying her head back on him.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles softly against Jem's lips <Oh I will...along a certain beach at sunset> he replies the horse keeping up perfectly, in a line behind the others. Amara holds her reins tightly and picks up the speed a little, she wanted to cover half the Level today, speed was key, she knew that the time they wasted could be crucial to events happening on the top Level...there was still so much she hadn't told Creven and the others, but for now it could wait, it would only trouble them more if they knew now.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden giggles slightly <Our beach?> she sighs, gripping the reins tight as the horse speeds up "That sounds perfect." she mutters out loud, tilting her head, a smile on her face as her wedding replays in her head. Opening her eyes, she frowns <Something’s wrong with her.> she jerks her head over at Amara.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles kissing Jem's cheek again before nodding <I know...she seems almost too urgent..> he replies a frown crossing his face. Amara keeps the pace steady; she knew they could keep up this pace for a few hours before having to stop for a rest, a brief one before carrying on again until night fall. She knew of an inn on their current path used everyday by people crossing this Level by horseback, they would rest until sunrise and then would be off again, reaching the gate just before sunset.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden glances up at Creven <Something’s not right. I just want to get off this level.> she shudders "I wish I had brought a jacket." she mutters, rubbing her arms "How far Amara?" she calls out.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods still frowning <I know, same and as quickly as possible.> Creven replies quickly glancing over his shoulder. Amara twists to face Jem "Far Jem...if we keep at this pace and only stop a couple of times, including tonight, we should reach the gateway a couple of hours before sunset tomorrow evening." she explains. "As long as everything goes smoothly, without any disruptions." she adds in a quieter voice to herself turning back around.
 <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods, listening closely. She lets out a small snort "Disruptions? What kind of disruptions, Amara?" she questions. "There’s something you aren’t telling us." she blurts out, before slapping her hand over her mouth, cursing herself and lowering her head <sorry, I couldn’t help it.>
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - blinks before wincing slightly in expectation of Amara's reaction. The young girl shakes her head "Down here Jem on the upper Levels listening in to peoples private conversations, to themselves is a punishable offence." she snaps "You know its dangerous here, anything could happen, by now someone will know you are all here, its been foretold...but no one knows what will happen from now on...the effect of your," Amara pauses wondering if going into detail would do any good, or just aggravate Jem further, "...you'll find out everything once we reach the Second Level." she finishes before continuing to lead them all on.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden rolls her eyes, growling slightly "Its not like I did it on purpose" she snaps back, pausing to take a few deep breaths to calm down, not wanting to be the reason they lost their guide. Jem huffs loudly, scowling at the back of Amara's head "Yes, I get that its dangerous and I want to get out of here and do what we came to do and go home." she sighs and starts stroking the horses head slowly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods keeping facing forward "It may not be as straight forward as that...the child taken from you, bought into the Levels happened what? a few weeks ago? a month at most?" Amara takes a deep breath before continuing "Here in the Levels, Seventeen years have passed since that date...Seventeen years of a new darkness growing, something slowing disrupting the order waiting for the right moment to strike...that moment is soon, it was told it would happen when you all got here...we have days before the Top Family are challenged for rule, right in the open...no one knows what will happen...its rumoured that you all have an effect on it."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden continues stroking the horse "Three and a half weeks." she mutters under her breath. She snaps her head up "Seventeen!" she half yells, glancing up at Creven "Seventeen. No. That cant... No way! It cant be." she holds back tears the best she ca <We missed... everything> she wipes her eyes as a few tears fall <Everything.> she buries her head in her hands and bursts into tears.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - grabs the reins quickly before wrapping his arms around his wife, shocked himself "You're sure Amara?" he asks already knowing the answer. Amara nods, noting how quiet Seb and Omar were at this point, probably a good thing too. "Of course I am Creven...I...I know your Son personally." she remarks before taking her horse into a canter, the speed making it harder to communicate with the others, hoping for now she could avoid their questions.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden widens her eyes "S...son?" she glances up at Creven for a second before returning her gaze to the back of Amaras head "Amara! Wait!" she calls out <Why can she say something like that, then run off?>
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - blinks watching after Amara before their own horse picks up the pace. <I have a better question, what else does she know which she isn't telling us.> Creven replies, a frown across his face again.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden grips the reigns once more as the horses speed up <I know. There’s something she doesn’t want to tell us. And if it involves our son, I want to know.> she growls slightly, her eyes narrowed and fixed on the back of the woman still.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods <We will find out.> he replies tightening his arms around Jem. Amara keeps the pace up, wishing she hadn't said anything to Jem and Creven. The quicker they got to her own Level, they would also be safer there, and explaining things may be easier, she wouldn't be on her own for a start.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden leans back slightly against Creven <This is my realm remember. Vampires. If she doesn’t tell me what’s going on...> she doesn’t finish her sentence and just bites her lip instead, knowing she would get into trouble for even thinking it. She takes a deep breath and catches a slight metallic taste in her mouth. Snapping her head to her right, her eyes turn a brighter red.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - raises his eyebrows <Well, we could do with more information, she could be leading us into a trap...> he replies looking from Jem to Amara <We need to know what she does, it would clear everything up.> he frowns again slightly before glancing around at their current surroundings, slightly blurry, of houses and small patches of green.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden whimpers slightly, gripping him harder than she mean to <I .. smell.. blood. Fresh. Over there.> she points across a field <She.. trap? No. She better not. I want to go home.> she sifts her gaze from the field and returns to looking down at the horse, her emotions sky high, confused and angry.

  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - softly kisses Jem's neck hoping to distract her <Think of something else.> he comments before returning his attention to Amara in front of them. <She's completely blocking her mind Jem, can't get in at all.> he directs his thoughts towards Jem before frowning again.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shudders and closes her eyes <You always know how to calm me. Its one of the million and one reasons I love you like I do.> she sighs, relaxing <You can’t? I though you said she wasnt Kitsune? How does she know to block her mind?" she peers over at Seb and Omar, frowning slightly <What do they know?> she asks.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - shakes his head again <I still can't work out what she is Jem, but its not normal...at all. Seb and Omar know only what we do, which I don't think is enough.> he replies watching as Amara turns a corner onto a dead straight road, no turns or end in sight, just a long straight stretch of gravelled road. Amara keeps her pace still as quick as before knowing she could push the horses for a while longer yet at this speed. Once she quickly looks over her shoulder making sure the others had all made the turn. facing forward again she gazes out at the stretch in front of her, the straight road, as it was well named. Every Level had one, used for hundreds of years as the quickest route through the Levels, now replaced by faster means for those who could afford it, everyone else still had to use these roads. As far as she could see they were alone, which was quite settling, at least she could see anyone, no surprise attacks. Amara lets her mind wander slightly, she still couldn't see how the four people behind her were going to have an effect on the future leadership of the Levels.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden scoffs slightly <Not normal is right.> she rolls her eyes, looking over at Seb and Omar, Omar with his eyes focussed on Amara, Seb with the look of concentration on his face as he seems to be trying to figure out where they are. Jem stares ahead of them, holding her breath as if she had just noticed the speed they were travelling. "I need to get to him" she murmurs, pain in her voice. It was, he was, the only thing on her mind and the more she thought of him, the less the need to feed hit her.` "Jem. Concentrate hard. You need to listen to me. Creven is right. She is hiding something. But even I cant get through. Its like she has double blocked her mind." Corbin’s voice sighs, slight frustration in it. Jem nods "Sure thing. Keep trying though. For us." she smiles briefly in the direction of the voice.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - scans the horizon again before slowing her pace a little, there was still plenty of time, in fact they were moving quicker than expected and it was better to let the horses take it slightly easier now so they had more strength if needed for later on. Amara glances over her shoulder, Omar was still keenly watching her, Seb seemed petrified of the horses, but she was looking past both of them over to Jem and Creven, trying to gauge and work out what they were both talking about, Amara herself no doubt, she could tell that their trust in her was ebbing.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sneaks a look over at the boys and hides a chuckle. The look on Omar’s face was one of a teenager in love. Sebs, however, was one of almost being scared to death. She nudges Creven, nodding in their direction, grinning slightly as she shakes her head and goes back to staring ahead at Amara, not wanting to take her eyes from the woman.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - chuckles slightly looking at Omar and Seb. Amara makes eye contact with Jem before turning back around, now was not the time to divulge any more, getting them to safety was key, then everything could be explained, or thats what she kept telling herself.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden snarls slightly as Amara makes eye contact with her. Not her usual "you will fear me" kind of growl. This was the "Im a mother and you will tell me what I want to know about my child" growl. Jem was done playing games. She needed to find out what was going on in the woman’s head, and she needed to know sooner rather than later.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - takes a deep breath, her mind arguing with itself, she should tell them or not? Amara sighs before looking back over her shoulder "Keldon, your Son's name here is Keldon...or Kel to close friends." she explains before turning back around quickly waiting for Jem's reaction.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden blinks a few times "Keldon?" she mutters "Interesting name. I like it." she looks at Creven; trying to figure out his reaction "What else can you tell us about him, Amara?" she wanted, needed, to know as much as she could.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - frowns slightly trying to hide it from Jem before listening to Amara a little more. "He looks like you too, pink, purple and black hair, deep violet eyes. He's fairly tall, skinny, but does have a great deal of strength." She explains, stopping quickly before getting too carried away.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden tilts her head slightly, trying to take it in and imagine him in her head "What is he? Kitsune, vampire?" she asks "Or something else?" she bites her lip, hoping he was just the same as the others.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - smiles to herself before shrugging "He's both...and more." she comments simply glancing over her shoulder again "He was a good person, until he betrayed me." she finishes her voice deeper "I trusted him more than anyone before, and he betrayed me...causing the most recent events to unfold."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden raises her eyebrows "And more? What do you mean?" she frowns "Betrayed you? What did he do? And on a separate note, how long are we going to be on these horses? I hurt a bit." she yawns, exhausted from lack of sleep.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - glances around "We could rest here for a little while." she comments before stopping her horse and dismounting. Amara walks across to Jem and Creven "Kel has been trained in many different ways, most fear him...hes literally the definition of unpredictable...I serve the Opulens, the Levels true leaders...Kel and whoever it is who gives him the orders tried to kill them Kel himself went after the First Mighty, the head of the Opluens, I was in the castle at the time...I stopped him."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs and dismounts her horse, crumpling to the ground "Ouch." she grumbles, listening to Amara "And Im assuming thats what he did to betray you?" she questions, glancing at Creven <See. I can make her talk.> she smirks slightly, winking at him.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - helps to pick Jem back up keeping his eyes fixed on Amara <No, she's willing to tell you this much...> Amara laughs slightly "I let him in Jem, I got him into the castle, he said he was going to align himself with the Opluens, then turned against them and me...the last I saw of him he was being carried back to where ever he and his people came from, unless his injuries  were worse than I saw." she shakes her head slightly "You see Jem, thats how things are done around here, ever the people you love will try to kill you to gain extra power." she finishes before slipping a silver band off her wrist, a pattern in black or two flowered vines cross across each other. Amara holds it up to Jem "Before the event, Kel and I were to be married, and then we discovered his plans and plots."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden wraps her arms around Creven, supporting herself on him, staring at Amara as she explained things. "He...he was hurt?" she whispers "No, he better be just hurt, not..." she stops not wanting to even think about it "You were  ... he was your arranged marriage?" she scoffs slightly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - tightens his arms around Jem remaining silent for the time letting it all sink in. Amara nods "I had to stop him Jem, I could never have killed him, but hurting him was the only way to make him stop, reasoning didn't work, I tried." she pauses slipping the bracelet back on before shaking her head "No, Kel asked me to marry him....its the Opulens who want me to marry their Son, as an honour for saving their lives." she shrugs slightly "I always wonder if I did the right thing that day."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden growls lowly <You better not let me go near her...> she warns "You...hurt...my... SON!" she shrieks "Before I have even seen him!" she struggles to break free from Creven's grip, ignoring the rest of the explanation "You're lucky we need you." she hisses "If it had been any other situation, I would have killed you by now."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - retightens his grip on Jem trying to keep her in his arms <Calm down> he tries to order her, his grip holding for now. Amara nods "Yes I hurt him Jem, protecting other people and the balance of power here, which if you didn't realise is very important!" Amara yells back at her before laughing "Not a chance Jem, you would be dead before even touching me!" she --
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- states taking a few steps back "This is my world Jem, my rules." she finishes a mocking smirk on her face "technically I don't actually have to take you any further, I could just leave you here...Creven is the only one I need anyway."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden hisses "No! You dont get it do you. Balance of power or whatever, you hurt MY son! I have missed out on him growing up and you could have KILLED HIM!" she yells right back, still trying to break free from Creven’s unusually tight grip "You will take me as far as you take Creven. He isn’t going anywhere without me. Not now." she snaps <Let me at her!> "JEM! STOP FIGHTING AGAINST HIM" Corbin’s voice breaks through the dark haze that seemed to surround her "He is fine. She wouldn’t have said all that if he wasnt." Jem stops fighting, turning and burying her head in Creven, sobbing <Why is she doing this? Its breaking my heart.>
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - shakes her head "Yes Jem, I could have killed him, but I didn't, he could have just as easily killed me!" she yells again slipping one hand inside her coat into a concealed pocket. Creven keeps his arms tight and eyes fixed on Amara "Why only me?" he asks watching as she fixes her eyes on him "Because you’re the one who has the most influence with the Kitsune, and we need their army..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden snaps her head back to Amara "NO! If Creven goes, I go too!! Keldon is OUR son. OURS!" she sighs "I cant be this close, Amara and not carry on." she shuffles slightly, her legs close to giving in on her.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - tries to support more of Jem's weight, his eyes still fixed on the young girls "Army? Amara what for?" he asks slightly shocked "To fight the biggest battle which the Levels will ever see, slowly every Level is being divided into two, those loyal to the Opulens and those loyal to the Kysons...so far the Kitsune leaders won't take sides, we need them on ours." she explains before removing her hand from her pocket and walking back over to her horse "We need to get moving again..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden freezes on the spot, her eyes flicking up to Creven’s "Kyson?" she mutters, shaking "No. No. No." she gasps for breath, feeling like her airways had been blocked and she was slowly choking. She collapses to the floor, muttering under her breath.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - lets go of Jem briefly before striding over to Amara and grabbing her arm "What did you just say?" he asks quickly, his eyes deep violet. Amara blinks before responding "The Kysons, that is the name of the group Kel works for...but you've heard it before?" she explains and queries pulling her arm free of his grip quickly. Creven blinks himself slightly surprised by Amara's strength "We have indeed, who is the leader of this group?" he asks, his voice deep. Amara shakes her head "I know...hardly anyone does..." she explains before remounting her horse as Omar helps Jem up "But we have to get moving, right now..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden gives Omar a small smile and sighs, wandering over to stroke the horses, a chill running down her spine. Glancing round quickly, she climbs back on, waiting as she stares off into the distance. The mention of the Kysons had put the fear of dread into her. She knew it had to be him.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - climbs up behind Jem and canters off after Amara <Its not him, it can't be...> he thinks, a little more openly than intended.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden jumps slightly as she hears Creven <It better not be. How can it be. I tore his dammed head off.>
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods <I know> he replies simply before gazing off, watching the others in front of them. Their pace more of a race along the road, the sun beginning to set slowly behind them.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shivers again, <Please dont let it be him> she leans back against Creven, staring ahead again, at nothing in particular, ignoring the thirst that was creeping up on her.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods again softly kissing her neck <Lets just get to Amara's Level and safety before worrying about such things.> Creven laughs slightly <I knew she wasn't fully single, Amara could be your daughter-in-law Jem...> he comments laughing again slightly.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden purrs slightly <Behave. You know by now what that does> she grins at him and raises her eyebrows<Yours too.> she teases. <Its bad enough we are bloody grandparents> she adds watching his reaction.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles before nodding. "What?!?" he exclaims out loud, causing the others to turn around, Creven waves them forward again "What Jem?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden bursts out laughing "Well technically we are great grandparents" she laughs "Araina, our little RainDrop, had a girl. And I think she’s expecting another one." she reaches up to brush his fringe from his eyes <Well you sure dont look anywhere near old enough to be a great grandfather> she teases.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods and sighs slightly "Rain, Oh okay...I was literally about to murder Marr when we got back, or at least give her a stern talking to." he comments relaxing before laughing again. Up in front Amara looks down at the bracelet on her wrist, her mind wandering over to Keldon, thinking about what he was doing, where he was, even who he was with. She tries to shake the thoughts from her mind, an inn coming up slowly in the distance.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden growls slightly <Not funny, Creven. Especially after what she has just said.> she tries not to snap, sighing slightly, staring forwards again, keeping a close eye on Amara.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -nods again <Sorry...> he replies before pointing something out "Look an inn or something!" he says loudly and Amara agrees "We are now halfway!" she comments, "We'll stay here tonight then will reach the gateway tomorrow!"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods slowly, closing her eyes <Its ok. This time.> She jumps, snapping her eyes open "An inn?" she looks round and her eyes land on the inn they were coming up to. <Maybe I will get some tonight. Sleep I mean> she giggles slightly, shaking her head and turning a bright shade of pink before nodding at Amara.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - rolls his eyes <Sleep yes, thats all.> he replies watching as Amara begins to lead them all towards it.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden rolls her eyes <Sleep! Yes, Creven love. Thats what I meant. Honest.> she smiles at him, giving him her sweetest look.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - rolls his eyes again and dismounts, watching Amara carefully, she was now talking to the barkeep, arranging them rooms and space for the horses, along with meals. Amara smiles at the man handing some form of payment over before handing the reins of her horse over to a young stable boy and motions for the others to do the same and follow her and the barkeep inside.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden giggles and kisses his cheek before dismounting the horse too, watching with a small frown on her face <Imm trying to work out the money here. I have seen it somewhere before. Im not sure where>
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles before looking down at Jem "Really, where?" he asks before following Amara inside and into a a warm and cosy looking little inn, a lounge with many chairs huddled around an open fire, a bar along one side. A separate door off into a dining room, with all the bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs. Creven nods, quite impressed. Amara walks across and hands them keys "His wife is preparing a meal, you have rooms like before." she comments before taking a seat in front of the fire and watches the flames.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shrugs, slipping her hand into Creven’s, following him inside "Im not sure." she frowns before looking round the room, her eyes lighting up at the sight of the fire, drawn towards it as she always was with flames. She watches the flames dance and flicker, reflected in her once again blue eyes, seemingly in a deep trance.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - glances over at Jem, watching as the three men join the barkeep at the bar for a drink "Jem, forgive me for everything I haven't told you, its just easier for now if you find out the truth later, it makes this journey quicker...but theres one more thing you should know...something has changed within Kel, the time I saw him I sensed it...he’s not fully him."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden wanders closer to the fire, glancing at the bar then Amara, shrugging "What do I care, Amara. He’s only my son that I have never met. All grown up." she mutters sarcastically. Jem seats herself in front of the fire and wraps her arms round her legs, resting her chin on her knees "Do you have any idea what its like? Being in this situation? Hmm? I dont think you do."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - shakes her head "No of course I don't...but can you sympathise with me, the person who I'm in love with, tries to kill important people in cold blood, murder innocents, tries to kill me...My mother died giving birth to me, I don't know who my father is. Theres only a handful of people I trust in this world, everywhere I go I have to carry multiple weapons to protect myself then off the world of some crazy woman in a cave, I have to risk my life ferrying people I've never met before across all the Levels, while everyone I know prepares for war...not to mention the fact that I think half of them are being controlled somehow...I shouldn't even exist Jem, by the by product of a freak experiment that worked once and was repeated."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden scoffs, shaking her head "You think I dont know what thats like Amara." she whispers under her breath "The one man I have ever loved was supposed to kill me." she glances to the bar, a small smile on her face. "My father died, my mother is somewhere. Im not sure where. I trust my family, and close friends have to earn my trust." she explains "I carry my dagger tied to my thigh. Creven doesn’t know that bit." she puts a finger to her lips, shushing before carrying on, still whispering "As for war, I have fought in a few before I even left school." she continues, tearing her eyes from Creven, laughing with Omar and Seb, seeming like he didnt have a care in the world. She smiles again, staring back into the flames "I risk my life everyday, watching out for my kids and my husband." she sighs, taking her hair out of the bun, letting it fall down her back, the ends hitting the floor. "So dont try telling me you have it hard, Amara. You have no idea." she glances at her over her shoulder, running her hand through her hair, shaking it free properly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods and turns to face Jem "Yes, but your not and nineteen year old genetically modified human...you have a place, a family of your own...and the freedom to do whatever you want when you want to, without having to be ordered around or ask anyones permission." she stands up straightening out her jacket "Excuse me." she adds before walking towards the main door and heads outside.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden opens her mouth to reply to Amara and tuts, watching her walk out "Well. Seems I cant say anything right today." she mutters, returning her gaze to the flickering flames, deciding not to go outside. Last night was bad enough. She shudders and rubs her arms, yawning loudly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- "Be gentle on her for all she says is true, for the last five years I've watched that young girl ferry unwanted slaves from the Second Level to the Last Level, not of her own choice and not always for her own master. Amara is unusual is many ways, and not an easy person to figure out, she oft stays here with us taking slaves down to the Last Level." An elderly woman explains, the barkeeps wife as she hands Jem a cup of tea "Your husband said you'd want a cup, and there’s a little something in there too help the cravings." she winks before walking away back over to the bar.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden jumps slightly as an elderly woman appears seemingly from nowhere. Jem listens to her explain and nods a few times, taking the cup, a small grin on her face "Thank you." she calls after her, taking a grateful sip and flicking her eyes to her husband <Thank you aswell> she smiles over at him, staying seated in front of the fire.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - turns and smiles back across to Jem raising his glass to her before continuing to talk to Seb and Omar. Amara walks out into the middle of the road, it was certainly getting darker now but the sun hadn't quite set yet. She stands still watching the red of the sky and rubs her forehead a few times, parts of her mind seemed clouded, unclear and she wasn't sure why.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden giggles slightly at her husband, rolling her eyes and sets her drink on the coffee table next to her before standing up and making her way over to the bar, picking her cup up again. She grins tucking her hair behind her ear before snaking her free arm around her husband, yawning again as she leans against him, setting her cup on the bar "What are you talking about? As if I cant guess." she looks at Omar.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Omar) - laughs "Actually not Amara...well maybe a little bit." he adds as Creven and Seb laugh. Creven slips an arm around Jem and kisses her cheek "Where is Amara anyway Jem?" he asks glancing around the inside of the inn.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden laughs and rolls her eyes "Omar, do you have a little crush?" she teases him "Erm, she got up and walked out. I think shes just mad at me or something." she sighs "Another one to add to the people who hate me list."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Omar) - shakes his head "I've got no chance Jem, you didn't see what was going through her mind when she was talking about your Son, and yes Creven until a couple of minuets ago I could read her most current thoughts, but only the most current." Omar explains before taking another sip of his drink. Creven nods kissing Jem's cheek again "I wasn't expecting her to open up so quickly to us..." he begins to explain and Omar nods "She wasn't going to, but then thought it would be less of a shock if you learnt a little now...but something has set her on edge."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs again "Yeah." she raises her eyes brows at Omar "How can you see into her mind when Creven couldn’t?" she queries "I wasnt expecting her to tell us anything. I think I pushed her a bit. I wasnt expecting to hear what she said though." her voice lowers to a whisper as she talks.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Omar) - smiles watching Jem "I'm the Emperors personal bodyguard Jem...I have certain very strong abilities, apparently I'm taking after my grandfather, Kana." he explains sounding smug. Creven nods looking over at the door "What did she say to you over there?" he asks curiously..
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden laughs at Omar "Well like grandfather, like grandson" she grins "Ah, Kana. I hope he is managing with the kids." she nudges Creven, winking before replaying the whole conversation to them all, ordering herself something stronger than tea and nodding as the barman holds up a bottle of blood "Just a splash in the whiskey please." she flashes him her most dazzling smile as he nods. Jem turns to Creven, stands on her tiptoes and brushes her lips against his <No matter what happens, remember how much I love you> She brushes his fringe from his eyes and lets her hand rest on his cheek, locking her eyes on his, smiling up at him.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles softly tightening his arm around Jem's waist pulling her closer so her could gently lean his head against hers. Omar listens and nods before glancing over to the door again "Any idea of where she went?" he asks and Seb chuckles "Probably to get some fresh air, away from us." he remarks and Omar nods but frowns slightly "But its getting dark, she can't stay out there for too long."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden stares into his eyes, a smile dancing on her lips as she shakes her head <Im going to take that as you wont forget.> she slips her arms round him, pulling him closer to her "She'll be ok boys. She’s a big girl. She knows what she is doing." she mutters, only half paying attention to Seb and Omar.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - <Never forget. And ditto Jem.> he remarks before looking up at his friends "She'll be fine Omar." Creven adds and Omar continues to frown "Well, lets all just remember that if we lose her, we're even more doomed than we already are." he comments before walking over to the fire and sitting down in front of it.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods, kissing his nose before following his gaze to the others "Yeah, I know. However we can get even more doomed. Im in a land ruled by my kind, who have yet to show their faces, although Im really not complaining." she shudders briefly, keeping her arms round her husband "Omar?" she frowns "Whats wrong?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Omar) - glances over to Jem and shakes his head "Nothing...its, just a bad feeling." he comments looking back into the flames. Seb puts his drink down, careful not to place it on the book and also frowns "About what Omar? If theres one main thing about you, its to trust your instincts...what is it?" the older of them all asks and Omar turns back around again "A bad feeling. a very bad one,"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden wrinkles her nose slightly <How many have you had? I think Im going to be slightly drunk from the fumes> she giggles at Creven slightly before raising her eyebrows "A bad feeling? Spit out, Omar." she glances at the book on the bar, her interests peaked slightly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Omar) - shakes his head and shrugs "I'm not sure exactly, just a feeling that something bad is going to happen." he comments as Amara comes running back in through the door "We have to leave now!" she yells at them all before tugging on Seb's sleeve "Just come with me now, its not safe here...not anywhere in this Level.” she comments her eyes flickering quickly around--
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- the room "Please we have to hurry." she adds fixing her eyes on Omar who quickly jumps to his feet and heads towards the door.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden jumps at the sudden reappearance of Amara, snapping her head to the door. The tone of her voice was frightening. Grabbing Creven’s hand, she starts to hurry to the door "Seb. Dont forget the book." she calls over to him as she leads her husband after Amara, biting her lip.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Seb) - nods already scooping the book up "Got it Jem, got it!" he remarks and follows the others out of the inn. The horses already brought around to the front door, Omar grabs the reins mounts and helps Seb up behind him, Creven doing the same with Jem before galloping down the road after Amara the sun nearly set behind them "Amara what is it?" Creven yells trying to catch up. "They know we're here, in the Level, the best thing for us to do now is leave and as quick as possible." she replies glancing sideways at Creven.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden gasps, trying to catch her breath as Creven helps her onto the horse in a quick movement. She grabs the reins, holding them tight as the horse sets off at a faster pace than they had been travelling before. "What do you mean, Amara? Do they know why? Actually." she closes her eyes, squeezing them shut tight "I dont want to know. Let’s just get out of here."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods before fixing her sights on the road in front of her "If anyone sees even the smallest movement hoot once like an owl." she says with a quick glance making sure Omar and Seb were still keeping up, they were right behind her in fact. Omar nods at her orders as Seb just clutched onto Omar and the book. Amara turns back forward and takes a deep breath before staring straight ahead.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden keeps her eyes shut, not intending to even open them for a moment. She shakes her head <Come on Jem. You are better than they are,. You aren’t a vile disgusting low life...> she stops, handing her head in shame that she was even the same as what they were. For so long she had tried not to be like them, even though she knew she had the potential to be. Jem shudders violently before her thoughts change to that of their son. Keldon. His name flickers through her mind for a few seconds before she tries to concentrate on what he looks like, the smell of fresh blood hitting her hard. She grips the reigns even tighter, trying to focus through the blood.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - frowns slightly sensing Jem's tightness. He keeps his eyes fixed in front of them, his violet eyes scanning their surroundings for anything, hoping that he wouldn't see anything.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden whimpers softly, trying her best to keep her head down and away from the possible watching eyes. She couldn’t sense anyone or anything, but she wasnt clued up on how to connect with other vampires. Not that she wanted to. She runs a hand through her hair, resting it on top of Creven’s.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - keeps the pace strong, her heat beating faster than normal. She takes another deep breath. If the stable boys she'd been listen too were right the clan who Kel worked for knew now that Creven, Jem and the others were in the Levels, and they had started looking for them. Amara curses quietly wondering how she would get them through the Levels until reaching her own, even there she doubted they would be totally safe.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden frowns slightly "Amara?" she calls out, not opening her eyes "Does... does Keldon know who we are? I mean, someone had to have explained to him what he is, where he came from." She takes a deep breath, awaiting the answer, if she were to get one. She keeps her eyes shut for now.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - glances quickly at Jem before focusing her attention in front of her again wondering how to word what was the truth "He...Yes...he knows who you are but...well has been taught that you abandoned him..." she replies her voice quiet just audible over the hooves of the horses beating against the ground.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden growls slightly louder than she meant "Abandoned him! Thats the one thing we would NEVER do!" she yells, slapping her hand over her mouth. She glances at Creven, wide eyed, motioning to left and giving a low hoot.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods wincing slightly at Jem's voice before glaring over her shoulder her eyes following the direction of Jem's hand. Creven ducks slightly expecting something slightly less loud but quickly is diverted to something in the darkness. "What is it Jem?" Omar calls out over to her, Amara slowly the pace slightly, unsure if they should check or just run for it.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shrugs, keeping her hand pointed into the direction she heard the noise "I dont know." she mutters as a laugh echoes round them "Oh dear. Silly little vampire is all confused." the voice rolls round them, followed by a familiar cold laugh. Jem freezes on the horse, gripping Creven’s arm "No. Its not possible." she mutters.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - pulls up quickly on her horses reins causing it to rear quickly but manages to stay on. The others stopping in front of her. "Whoever you am I demand that you show yourself right now under the laws of the Mighty council and as a right as a High member of Sir Xipilli's Household!" she states, the usual greeting and part threat, saying who she was and mentioning the power --
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- she belonged to in a hope it may scare whoever it was away, or on the other hand, just something to fill the time while working out how to get away. Creven glares into the darkness his eyes glowing brighter "I know Jem..." he mutters lowly.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden snaps her head up to Creven, her eyes flickering red and black <I thought you said you killed her.> she glances round as a blonde steps out of the shadows and rests her hands on Amara’s horse "I sensed you as soon as you hit this level. Word travels fast round here." Jessie smirks and lets her eyes rest on Creven, seemingly looking right through Jem "So. Still married to that?" she smiles "You aren’t going to learn I was the best you will ever have, Creven."

  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - laughs slightly "Oh so full of yourself, a very bad trait...these people are in my custody, I suggest you back away and leave us alone." she states fixing her eyes on Jessie below her. Creven tilts his head to the side "Oh your so wrong Jessie dear." he laughs.
<SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden lets out a feral snarl in Jessie’s direction "Dont you dare." she starts as Jessie holds her hand up, stopping her mid-sentence "One second, thing." she snaps at her, turning to Amara "And who dear, are you, pulling that name from mid air? " Jessie snorts, walking slowly over to Creven and lying her head on his knee "Aww, sweetie. Dont be like that. Even if you did kill me. I dont hold a grudge against you. I will hold it with her though." she hisses, digging her nails into Jem’s leg. Jem screams, kicking Jessie off her "WHAT THE HELL!"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - turns her horse in Jessie's direction "Hey! Bitch" she yells over deciding to give up on the pleasantries "Leave them alone!" Creven slips down off the horse positioning himself in-between it, Jem and Jessie "Don't you dare touch her." he states his voice deep and eyes not leaving the woman in front of you ”I would gladly kill you again, in fact I welcome the task." he comments.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden fights back tears of hate more than tears of pain. She covers the wound with her hand quickly, not taking her eyes off Jessie. She grabs onto Creven with her free hand as Jessie rolls her eyes "She’s still as pathetic as she always was." she scoffs before slowly turning her head to Amara "What the hell did you just call me?" she snaps, taking a step closer to Creven, brushing her hand down his arm "Come back to me. You will get to see Kel. He’s not such a bad guy. He’s just like his daddy used to be." she purrs.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - watches Jessie's hand before raising his own and brushing a fallen strand of hair out if her face "You will never learn, what we had is in the past Jessie and far gone past...I am not who I used to be” he states simply before lowering his hand, hovering around her neck. Amara laughs "Oh I've heard about you Jessie, directly from Kel in fact...he told me quite a bit about you." she states before laughing again "And what I called you is quite fitting, now I suggest that you go back to sulking in some dark decrepit hole somewhere, while I take Creven and his good company to where they are supposed to be going." she states a hand slipping into an inside pocket of her coat.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden leans forward on the horse, breathing deeply, covering her ears "You. Get your hands off my husband" she hisses as Jessie smiles up at Creven as he brushes a strand of her hair from her face. Her eyes widen as his hand lowers to her neck before she grins and grabs his hand "Oh, you know we were good together." she giggles, glaring at Amara "Oh. So you are the new bit of stuff he told me about." she taunts "Pillow talk is so amusing." she laughs before backhanding Jem "He may be your husband, but he was with me first. Remember that." she sneers, glancing at Seb and Omar "And who would these fine young men be? Friends of Creven’s? Well it would be rude to not introduce myself." she wanders over to them, a sick smile on her face "Hi there. Im Jessie. And who are you?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Omar) - blinks noting Seb shrinking slightly behind him "I don't think thats any of your business Woman." Omar replies sharply to Jessie remaining on the horse glancing quickly over at Jem and Creven. Amara glares at Jessie "How dare you!" she states her voice surprisingly deep as she steps in-between Jessie, Creven and Jem. Creven moves quickly in front of Jem his eyes fixed on Jessie over Amara's shoulder, gleaming brighter than before "You are so wrong Jessie, so wrong..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden growls at the backhand, watching Jessie closely "Leave them alone, Jessica." she sneers, climbing off the horse, fixing her eyes on her. Jessie turn round and laughs "Oh, look. She trying to be all brave in front of her husband." she rolls her eyes "You are pathetic, Jem. Worthless and a disgrace. Kyson should have killed you when he had the chance" she states, walking back towards her. Jem wrinkles her nose "He didnt have the guts, and you know it." Jem snaps back. glancing briefly up at Creven, grabbing his arm "Leave her, love. She’s just begging for a fight."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods glancing down at Jem ignoring Jessie "I know, come on, Amara lead the way out of here." he states with a smirk in Jessie's direction. Amara nods slowly, not letting her eyes leave Jessie "As you say Creven." she comments softly.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs deeply and smiles slightly up at her husband, nodding as she climbs back up on the horse. Jessie giggles "Oh Creven, love, are you going to leave me here, all on my own? Its your fault Im here in the first place." she calls out after them, catching Amara staring at her and grinning, flipping her hair over her shoulder. "And what can I do for you?" she snaps, folding her arms across her chest, narrowing her eyes and glaring at her. Jem rolls her eyes "Jessie, drop it. You call me pathetic? You are so much worse when you aren’t getting what you want." Jessie bursts out laughing "What I want? What I want is him back." she points at Creven, shrugging slightly “But I suppose that Keldon will do for now. He's almost as good as Creven was back then." she sighs, winking.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - continues to glare at Jessie "How dare you talk about Kel like that, you are nothing compared to him, nothing and never will be." Amara laughs shaking her head and taking a step forward "If you lay a finger on him, in anyway...hurt him in anyway, then your days will become very numbered." she says her voice low again as she takes another step towards Jessie, one hand still inside her coat pocket. Creven frowns biting his lip slightly "Can you take us to him? and the others you work for?" he asks, slightly out of context, but with a slightly ulterior motive up his sleeve.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head, tearing her eyes away from the conversation. Jessie grins at Amara "Sweetie..." she whispers, taking a few steps closer to her "I have laid more than a finger on him, as well as the other way round." she smirks and snaps her head round to Creven "Are you talking to me?" she questions, her interest sparked as Jem slowly turns to face Creven, an eyebrow raised <What? You think She will?> she sends him. Jessie shrugs "I can. You might have to give me something for it if I do though, Creven." she wiggles her eyebrows.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)'s eyes widen before she acts completely on instincts slapping Jessie before pushing her to the ground a knife suddenly at her neck "He would never do anything with you, before you and your lot started poising his mind, he would never have attacked the Opulens, that was all you, not him." she snarls before Creven pulls her off Jessie. He makes direct eye contact with Amara-
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- and then with Omar who nods slightly. Amara walks back from Jessie pushing Creven away from her glancing up at Omar before grabbing the reigns of her horse. "I'll come with you Jessie the others must be allowed to leave now!" he states offering a hand to help her up.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden watches the scene in front of her unfold, just catching Cravens words to Jessie "No! I wont allow that." she growls, her eyes flickering and not leaving Jessie who was stood, a smirk on her face "Sure Creven. Some me and you time. I like the sound of that." she flashes the smirk over at Jem, who growls louder and jumps off the horse "Im going to kill you." she snarls.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) spins around quickly grabbing Jem "Let him." she whispers for only Jem to hear glancing quickly up at Omar again before back to Creven and Jessie. Creven shakes his head at Jem before--
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- taking a step towards Jessie "Yes...we have a lot of catching up to do, a few things to sort out, rearrange." he states plainly a few hints to the others in his words, Omar and Amara already in on and understanding Creven's sudden plan.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden fights against Amara "You dont know what she’s like." she hisses under her breath, keeping her eyes away from Jessie who was now stood next to Creven, and had linked her arm through his. Jem takes a few deep breaths, having no idea what was going on, as she climbed back onto the horse. Jessie laughs "So, Jem. Have fun. I know I will" she taunts. Jem stares into the distance trying to ignore her, a few feral snarls escaping her lips. "Touch him, hurt him and I will rip you to pieces." she warns without shifting her gaze.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - glares again at Jessie before swiftly mounting her horse "We ride hard and fast." she comments to the others before flicking the reins, taking her horse into a quick gallop, not once looking back behind her. Now time was even more important than before, Creven's plan had some merit and she knew she could keep up her end, hopefully the same would be able to be said for him.  She tightens her grip on the reins picturing the Xipilli estate in her mind, the mines, Pilli himself, anything to distract herself. Creven tries not to lean away from Jessie and tries to give Jem a reassuring smile. He takes a deep breath as he watches them leave, hoping he was right about Amara.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden grips the reins tight as the horse sets off after the rest of the group. She glances over her shoulder briefly to see Jessie move closer to Creven. Jem growls, snapping her head back forward, muttering under her breath "The next time I see her, shes dead."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - looks over at Jessie after watching the others before they dissapeared into the distance. "So, just you and me again...where to next?" he asks smiling slightly and winking at her.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) tilts her head slightly "Well, we could start off where I left off with Keldon last night." she winks.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - raises his eyebrows "Theres really something going on between you and him? Thats a little weird, I am his father..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) nods slowly, grinning "Would I lie about something like that? I knew he was yours the moment I saw him. Something about him, Im not sure what..." her voice drops to a whisper, smiling.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - blinks "Well good luck with Amara next time you see her...she is I believe on the war path." he comments looking away from her quickly, old memories surfacing.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) tuts and rolls her eyes "Well, her and that wife of yours" she says, sneering slightly "Whats her problem anyway? She didnt exactly put up a fight just then, letting you be left with me.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles looking back at Jessie "I'd be more worried about Amara," he replies before turning his voice to a whisper "I can control Jem." he finishes placing a small kiss on her --
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- cheek.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) scoffs slightly, shaking her head "You have your hands full with her. Seems to me shes like a spoilt brat." she raises her eyebrows, placing her hand on her cheek "What was that for?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles and nods "Nothing I can't handle." he responds before smiling again "Old times..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs slightly, before kissing his lips "Old times" she purrs, grinning at him.


 <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley - - Xipilli glances briefly out of the window of his office. The sun was shinning through, but some how seemed a little less bright than usual, a small change he'd noticed over the last week, some dark power was moving closer, he could feel it. Everything was how it was before, when he was much younger, a boy infact, the first a darkest war he'd experienced, the one in which he lost his master, mentor and creator...and now again a threat to the Mighty loomed ever closer, but this time the Opulens were the ones being opposed and not the opposers. He sighs and looks back down at his desk, he'd been pouring over different accounts, mine reports, product design requests and a letter from the Opulens all day, the letter taking the longest, but only because he didnt want it to be true. The Mighty of the Opulens, head of the Levels had ordered all those loyal to him to a meeting about their new opposition, Xipilli had to go, on his honour and as a friend. He runs a hand through his hair before leaning his head onto his desk, the raven he'd sent to Amara had returned from carrying her a letter. From that day he'd sent different birds to track her position, the most recent one had returned, with disturbing news, it hadn't seen Amara, she and her party were at an inn, but it had picked up the sight of another person, someone who Xipilli had hoped not to hear about. Jessie's proximity to Amara was alarming, the bird had warned her but no doubt they would still be intercepted. The Levels were dangerous at best even when you weren't being looked for. Xipilli sits back up again and moves across to a cupboard on the far side of his office, he opens the door revealing a long list of names covering the back, each with a small crystal next too. He picks a green crystal out of the back wall of the cupboard, next to Amara's name before opening a draw beneath revealing a large bowl full of water. He drops the crystal in watching the water swirl and change colour beneath it, quickly he picks the crystal back out again and replaces it back into its correct position. After collecting a glass from his table he scoops up the now green water, watching as the rest turns back into its normal pale colour the depth of the water looking endless. Xipilli takes a deep breath before downing the glass of water, giving him direct access to Amara's mind, it wasn't something he did often, very rarely in fact. He could do the same with any of the power under his power, each crystal specific to one person, allowing him brief access to their minds, it was useful for solving problems, finding truths and as he was now doing locating someones exact position. A strange piece of magic developed by his predecessor, and only possible due to Xipilli's genetics, in this case sharing a few abilities taken directly from Kitsune DNA, Xipilli himself had been an experiment to begin with, one which worked extraordinary well, and only once repeated, in the form of Amara. Xipilli closes his eyes and immediatly drops the glass, Amara's immedate thoughts were fine, normal, just memories, but it was how she was feeling and what she was coving up which hit Xipilli. They had just encountered Jessie, left Creven and were on the run to his estate as quick as possible, none were hurt badly accept for Amara's emotions which seemed to be balancing on a knifes edge. Xipilli opens his eyes again and shouts for one of the maids in the house. A middle aged woman appears and walks towards the broken glass but Xipilli shouts at her to leave it and to instead fine the head of the mines armed guards, she looked up surprised but bows and hurries back off out the door, the sound of her footsteps clearly indicating she was running down the corridor. Xipilli breifly closes his eyes again before opening them and sighing, Amara along with three others were still in the fourth Level about half a days ride from the gateway. He had hoped she was closer but would have to make do. "You called Sir?" a mans voice emanates from the doorway. Xipilli turns quickly and starts walking towards the man in front of him, his over amour the Xipilli colours of red and black, gems gleaming the estates crest. "Yes Lancaster, I need you to get to beginning of the third Level and await there for Amara and three other people then get them back here as soon as possible. I'll send you with the transporter. you know how it works, use it to get yourself there and all of you back again, just make sure no one sees you." he explains before walking back across to his desk, and opening the top draw The guard nods "Amara's in trouble isn't she?" he asks watching Xipilli who nods and sighs "We all are Lancaster...unless the Kyson's are stopped the Opulens won't be able to defend themselves well enough and a feel a war will begin. Amara may have the people who can somehow stop this..." he explains rummaging through the draw before looking up at his trusted friend who nods again "War, a bad thing for your business Pilli, although a good one for mine, if your on the winning side...if the Opulens fall it will throw the Levels into chaos, peace is mainly kept as people either fear or respect them, but if the Kyson's show that they should be feared more and hit the Opulens hard, they will lose everyone..." Lancaster says taking a small richly decorated box from Xipilli. "I know my dear friend, it is a dangerous time, our own loyalties lie with the Opulens." he remarks and Lancaster nods "And we will stand with them, and if worst comes to the worst, fall with them." he replies before bowing "As soon as I find Amara we will directly return here and remember Pilli, only diamond can cut diamond." the man finishes before walking out. Xipilli sits back down running the Estates motto back through his head Only diamond can cut diamond. he shrugs and leans back in his chair, unfortunately we not made of diamond. he thinks to himself before standing quickly and walking out of his office heading to one of the mines passing the time awaiting the return of Lancaster, Amara, Jem, Seb and Omar.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles wrapping an arm around her "So do I get to meet my son and the rest of the Kyson Clan?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (j) smiles and wraps an arm around him "Maybe." she giggles slightly before frowning.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles softly kissing her nose "Maybe? why only maybe?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden growls lowly "What do I get in return?" she questions.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - keeps the smiles up "Time with me?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) raises an eyebrow, pondering the payment before nodding "That works out fine." she purrs "But what about... her?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - shrugs "Forget her Jessie."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) shakes her head "I cant. How can I forget the one thing that took you from me."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - tilts her chin up to look directly in her eyes "Just try too Darling Jessie..." he comments his voice soft.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) shivers slightly "Darling.." she sighs, hugging him tight "I missed you."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - wraps his arms tightly around her and nods before whispering into her ear "As have I."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) slides her arms round him tighter "How stupid do you think I am, Creven?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) keeps Jessie close "You should know I've changed a lot since we last met he comments before letting go and taking a step back.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) drops her arms, pouting slightly "You have, I have noticed. Youre under the thumb. Everything she does, you're watching her and vice versa. Its disgusting."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) shakes his head "no I've just found someone who I trust with my life, with everything...now Jessica, we had a deal...take me to my son!" he states bluntly.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) snorts "You trust her with your life? After what she has done! Working with Ky.." she stops and sighs"Whatever" she mutters, turning on the spot and heading back to the shadows.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) grabs Jessie's arm "working with who? " he asks with a frown
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) snaps her head round, anger filling her face "Working with Kyson." she snaps, smirking slightly "Whts wrong, didnt you know that? Not such a saint, your wife is she?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - blinks shocked before shaking his head "No, you must be wrong, she wouldn't."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) lets out a cackling laugh "Oh dear. Did I just drop her in it. Shame that." she continues to laugh as she leads him through a wooded area "This way. Hurry up Creven. Jeez."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - shakes his head not wanting to believe it before following Jessie "How do I know you're not lying?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden stops and turns to face him, eyebrows raised "You dont have to if you dont want to." she walks back towards him "All you have to do is read my mind. Or just dont believe me." she shrugs "Its up to you."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - frowns and nods "No, I believe you...even after everything, you never lied to me..." he comments before continuing walking "So, where exactly are we going?" he asks glancing over his shoulder at her.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) sighs, thankful he wasnt going to read her mind. There were things in there she didnt want him to see. She points through the trees "Just through there. Its a slum for us. They are hidden throughout the level. Different areas for different groups. This is one of the lowest im afraid." she fights through the bushes.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods listening to her explain wondering if reading her mind would do any good, he doubted right now, better wait until a better moment. "Lowest? Not in such a higher position as you were before Jessie?" he asks wanting to find out as much as possible.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) scoffs, shaking her head "Dont want to talk about that thank you, if you dont mind." she finally crashes through the other side of the bushes and stumbles slightly. In front of them were half a dozen small mud huts. It was dimly lit by a camp fire, dying out slowly. Jessie glances round and lads Creven to the one hut stood by its self "This is my place. I left Keldon here.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - raises an eye brow and catches her slightly as she stumbles before looking around. So far the Levels really didn't appeal to him at all, and right now he could only hope that the others were making good time. "Really? okay." he states glancing around again.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) pushes the door open, shrugging Creven off her at the same time.. They couldn’t have gotten through the door together. The room was small, musty, dark, but surprisingly warm. Jessie takes a quick look round and scowls, tutting "He's gone." she mutters barging back past Creven and through the front door. She scours over the huts, cursing loudly "He.. I dont know where he is. Creven." she turns back to face him, running her hands through her mid length blonde hair "Im sorry. He must have left."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods and frowns walking back out of the door into the open space a multitude of thoughts running through his head.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) paces up and down, muttering under her breath "Where the hell did he go." she yells. Another voice flies through the air "Jessie’s back I see! Shame Keldon ran off the second she was out of sight." the voice laughed, followed by an outburst of laughter from numerous others. Jessie screams "Shut the hell up!" at the top of her lungs, causing the laughter to stop.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -spins around trying to work out where the source of the voice was coming from. Creven tries not to smile listening to the voices.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) growls and storms towards where the laughter was "Wait there." she snaps at Creven as she disappears from sight. Her voice travelled across the air, shouting and screeching at the laughing group "How dare you embarrass me like that! In front of my special GUEST! Im trying to do the right thing here.." more laughter rang out, drowning her next words "Jessica! aren’t you so funny! The right thing? Since when was it the right thing to steal Keldon away his fiancée. And all the stories you told us about when you were in the other dimension. Kidnapping newborns, trying to kill your ex boyfriends wife because he left you ... " SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" Jessica screamed the sound echoing around.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods waiting until she disappears before walking closer towards the sound of the voice, hearing clearer and wanting to get a glimpse of whoever it was. Creven keeps to the shadows and sides of the huts as he follows Jessie around, a few things becoming a little clearer and just manages to resist the temptation to laugh at some of it.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) opens her mouth to say something and huffs, storming away from the group, who burst out laughing at her "And she wonders why she is never voted leader." the laughter rings out again and Jessie slips into the shadows and sits on the floor, growling.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - raises his eyebrows listening deciding to make a bold move "Mainly because she doesn't listen!" Creven yells before stepping out from where he was walking up to the group "And will never learn to...its a shame, she could be good, she good at some things, just not everything.." he comments glancing over in Jessie's direction "Leaders have to be strong, brave they have to listen to their subjects and not strike fear into them." he finishes with a shrug.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) listens, a small smile on her face. Once again, Creven had come to her rescue.. She laughs slight. "Well, she doesn’t show willing to do anything. Ever. She just fills us with stories and lies from when she was in that place." the woman stands up and addresses Creven "And who might you be?" she questions "I dont like strangers in my camp."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods his head to the women showing a sign of respect to her. "I believe most of what she has told you is true." Creven comments and nods again "Naturally, you should be cautious especially in these times." he adds buying himself time, revealing his true identity would probably be a mistake. "My name is Kana, I'm a Kitsune from the Xipilli Estate." he tries to bluff, guessing Jessie would say something straight away, but he would try and work the lie, causing them to distrust him further.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) frowns slight. Why would Creven pretend to be someone else. She shrugs and wanders back over to them and hugs Creven, smirking "See!" she glares at each of them "Never mind, Jessica. No one cares anyway." the woman waves her hand, dismissing them. Jessie tugs on Creven "Come on Cr..Kana. I think we need to talk." the group bursts out laughing again "Talk!" "Come on Jessica. Thats a new one! Keep the talking down to a minimum this time. The last one you were talking to wasnt exactly quiet." the laughter starts again as Jessie runs back to her hut  blushing furiously.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles slightly and laughs as she runs away before turning back to the women "You said she was with Keldon? whats going on between them?" he asks, more for Amara then anything "Oh there’s nothing between me and Jessie, she just thinks there is." he adds with a shrug and rolls his eyes.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden ... the woman looks Creven up and down and hold her hand out "Well it was nice to meet you, Kana" she raises her eyebrows "With Jessie and Keldon. Nothing as far as we know. Well she has had him over for a few nights. And there was a lot of talking." she shrugs "None of our business." she states simply. Jessica throws herself down on the makeshift bed, and sobs.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods and shakes the woman’s hand "Thank you...true I guess." he remarks before making eye contact with the woman and smiling "May I ask who you are?" he asks quickly "Jessie didn't really tell me a lot, I just asked to see who she was working for, I have a...proposition from Xipilli." he says, the lie coming fluently.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden -- the woman nods "My Names Nakira." she states, scanning Creven from head to foot. "You seem familiar." she muses "Have we met before?" she frown, before raising her eyes back to his face "What proposition? And why would /he/ have a proposition for us? We are nothing to him but pests."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles softly "A pleasure it is to meet you," Creven responds and shakes his head "No, I would remember if we had." he comments his mind racing quickly "He wants to persuade you to drop your cause and join his."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (N) shakes her head and drops her hand quickly "Not a chance. No way in hell. He knows our terms. He declined them every time we have asked. Why would he want us to join now?" she snaps "He doesn’t want anything to do with us. He never has. Ever since his deceased wife gave birth to Keldon. A vampire killed her in an attempt to change her and failed badly, leaving the body on the otherside of our gates. He assumed it was us and we have all been shunned." the small man explained from the other side of the fire.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods "Times change and so do terms." he adds in quickly before staring at the man "Keldon isn't Xipilli's son..." Creven states without thinking. But what the man said made why Amara didn't seem to like vampires very much, but she also knew that Keldon wasn't Xipilli's son...some form of ploy somewhere, someone trying to hide Keldon's real heritage? Creven wondered to himself.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (N) watches Creven still "What do you mean, he isn’t /his/ son?" she questions him quickly, waving a hand and dismissing the rest of the group "Meeting adjourned for now please. I would like some privacy with our guest." the group disappears instantly. Nakira waits for the silence to hit before sitting back down, offering Creven a seat "Terms have changed since yesterday?
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - takes a seat along with a deep breath "Yes since yesterday as Keldon isn't his real Son...I personally know Keldon's parents Nakira," he starts. "What else do you know about Keldon and Xipilli, what has been said? what about the young girl Amara? and the main leaders of the Kyson group and how did Jessie end up down here?" he asks quick fire questions all coming out at once.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (N) holds her hands up "Whoa, slow down Kana. So many questions all at once. So he isn’t Keldon’s father." she laughs "Makes sense if you think about it, as he doesn’t look anything like him. “I mean, who has violet..." she stops and looks at Creven properly, her eyes wide, the penny dropping "You.." she whispers. "I cant even think about that right now. I dont want to know. Amara is his fiancée as far as I am aware. HE has told everyone the story that the vampire killed his wife." she shakes her head, disbelief setting in and scooting back "The Kysons. Another thing we dont talk about down here. Im sorry." she stands up "Im sure Jessica will be waiting for you. I cant tell you anymore. Talking around here gets you dead." she explains quickly, before turning and heading into the shadows "It was nice to meet you ... Kana."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley  (Creven) - nods slightly confirming her theory. Creven listens and is about to ask more when she walks away, perhaps it was best to leave her and go back to Jessie now. "You too Nakira!" he s after her before turning around and heading back into Jessie’s where he storms through the door "You have a hell of a lot of explaining to do..." he states glaring at her.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) jumps as the door crashes open and she crawls back against the wall "What.. do you mean, Creven?" she whispers, not looking him in the face.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - walks across to Jessie "What happened to you? Who are these people? I want answers now Jessie!" he yells slamming the door shut behind him "And whats all this about Xipilli? his wife? and Keldon being their son?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) cringes at the yelling "Keep your bloody voice down, Creven, Dammit." she mutters "I will tell you what you want to know, but I need you to SHUT UP!" she yells at him.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - lowers his voice "Then go ahead." he remarks and sits facing her, waiting.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) sighs and takes a breath "What Nakira said was true about Xipilli. He told everyone his wife was killed by one of us after she had Kel. Of course everyone knows its all lies, but who are we to say anything against him? He will wipe us out." she pauses "What happened to me? I died. You shot me. In the head." she scrapes back her hair, revealing the bullet shaped hole.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - raises his eyebrows "Is Xipilli really that powerful?" he asks slightly surprised before nodding "I know, but how are you here?" he asks.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) lowers her head, nodding "He is. Maybe more so." she whispers, shrugging "Im not sure, Creven. I just appeared here when I died. Too bad for heaven or hell i guess."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods before laughing trying to turn it into a cough "And the Kyson Clan?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) raises an eyebrow, pulling her lip back into a snarl "Laugh Creven. I dare you." she snaps. "The Kyson clan” she sighs "Its ... his clan. Kysons. As Im sure you have suspected."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - shrugs holding his hands up "He's back...Jem killed him..." he comments before sighing "He's the one with Keldon, trying to control him? whats all your role in this?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) sighs, nodding "Isn’t he always trying to control everything." she grumbles "She did. Wow, impressive. She better watch her back though. He will know she is here by now." she explains quickly. "And for once, Im not involved. Im trying to keep low. Hidden."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods "Well, by the looks Xipilli is on our side, so will help to protect her..." Creven replies before raising his eyebrows "And everything with Keldon? To get my attention once you found out I was here?" he asks with a slight frown.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) keeps her eyes on the floor and shrugs again "I dont know, Creven love, I really dont." she snaps her head up "I knew it! You just wanted this information! You didnt want me at a all did you? How could I be so stupid. Every time" she slaps herself, muttering under her breath.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods "Yes Jessie...I needed to know these things, by now Amara and the other will be through to the next Level, I need to get there too and to the second Level where I can find Xipilli...unless you can take me to Kyson first..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) lets out a sigh and shakes her head "Even if I knew where he was I wouldn’t be able to take you there." she glances up at him, a sneer on her face "Now you have your information, I want you to leave." she hisses.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods and stands up "Fine, then I will." he says before beginning to walk towards the door. He would be able to follow the scent of the others and maybe, pick up on someone else’s too.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) blinks, staring at him "You're going to leave ... without a kiss goodbye?" she runs her fingers through her hair.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - places his hand on the door glancing over his shoulder "Yes, actually I am." he comments before winking and walking out. When outside Creven sighs before walking in the direction that Nakira had disappeared in, maybe she or someone else would be able to point him in the right direction.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (J) sighs, watching him leave "Fine." she mutters, frowning at the wink. She shakes her head, remaining sat down as he shuts the door behind him, enclosing her in the darkness.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - continues to walk through what he would more call a camp than anything else. "Nakira?" he calls out randomly just incase she was near and had a chance of hearing him.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Ralu) wanders out after hearing Nakiras name "Sorry, Kana. She’s asleep. Sudden head pain has come on. She wont be about for a few days. I did hear what you said about the one you call Kyson. Aren’t you related to him?" he queries.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - turns to face the man and nods "Okay thank you." Creven starts before shaking his head "To Kyson? No not at all..." he replies "But, do you know where he is?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (R) shakes his head "I could have sworn... Never mind." he shrugs "You dont find him. He finds you." he mutters under his breath, looking about.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - curses himself quickly, he wasn't related to Kyson but Kana was. "Sorry, your talking about the Kyson, here...yes I'm related to him...I thought you meant someone else." he says trying to recover it with a laugh and rolls his own eyes tutting at himself hoping it may have worked. Creven nods "Okay...excuse me, but I should be leaving." he replies before beginning to back away.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (R) nods and backs away too "Thats probably a good idea, Kana. And if anyone asks you, you havent been here." he bows slightly and disappears back inside.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods and turns walking away back the way he had originally come.


  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden lets out a heavy sigh, keeping her eyes forward, distant, not hearing the others conversations. Flicking her hair over her shoulders, she cant help but think what was happening with Creven and Jessie, shuddering visibly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - smiles slightly at Omar trying to cheer her up "Thanks...but Omar, I know she was lying..." Amara states before glancing forward "We should be at the gate soon, we seem to have made remarkable time." she explains and Seb smiles "Good, about time too...my backside is really beginning to hurt..." he moans, Omar and Amara laughing at him again. Amara gives a concerned look over her shoulder to Jem "Creven will be fine!" she says before facing forward again.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden growls slightly as Amara’s words hit her "Its not him Im worried about. Its her." she snaps, glaring at Amara with her eyes still black.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods "I know Jem...did you hear what she said about Kel?" Amara snaps back and rolls her eyes "vampires"she mutters lowly to herself.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden growls louder "Do you know their history?" she snaps right back "No. So I suggest you shut up." she returns her glare to the road in front, wishing they were there already.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - shakes her head again and concentrates on her riding the faster they were through the better. She frowns and rubs her temple slightly a headache suddenly appearing from no where; Amara tries to ignore it but its goes again quickly. Slightly puzzled she glances around before continuing
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden blinks a few times, glancing at Amara. She shakes her head and stares down at the horse, gripping the reins tighter, trying not to show she was wary of the animal.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Omar) - glances at Amara and Jem then back again, there was definitely tension between them and he could sense a dislike of vampires from Amara. Seth meanwhile still grips onto Omar, the book safely in his arms.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden mutters under her breath as she glances round, wondering where her husband was, tears flowing down her face as she thought about her husband with her.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - keeps the pace up and steady sensing the gateway was near, not far at all, she just hoped she would be able to buy passage with the horses, then there was the next Level, a land of mainly forest. How to cross it was something they'd have to figure out when they got there, Amara had never had to cross it by foot before.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden glances over her shoulder "You guys doing ok there?" she asks, trying to throw them a reassuring smile.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Omar) - beams back across to Jem as normal "Of course Jem!" he replies brightly and Seb just nods before complaining about his bottom again. Amara smiles slightly listening to them, not long now Seb would be complaining about his feet if they had to walk the whole way. Amara's mind drifted back onto her home, her rooms in Xipilli's Mansion, she would give anything to be back there.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden half smiles at them both, trying not to laugh at Seb "Amara? How far left?" she asks, keeping her questions short.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - glances quickly at Jem "About another half an hour at this speed I reckon." she replies quickly pointing ahead "Not long at all!" she finishes her voice slightly brighter than earlier.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods before glancing round to try and spot her husband <Creven where the hell are you?> she snaps, angrily "Im not going to the next level without him." she states.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - shakes her head "Yes you are Jem, we can't wait for him...he told us to go on ahead, he'll catch up." she states and Omar also nods "Its true Jem..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden snaps her head up to Amara "You think Im going to leave him in a level full of vampires? After what happened when a vampire bit him?" she glances at Seb and Omar "No!"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - shakes her head "He order us to take you through with us, so your coming!" she states yelling back to Jem behind her. Omar nods again "Jem, I'm sorry but we have to...actually Amara, what if I wait at the gate for him?" Omar suggests but Amara shakes her head "No Omar, I can pay off the guard to let Creven through, but...well he has his own plans..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs and keeps her mouth shut, knowing the words she wanted to say would get her in trouble. She leans forwards on the horse, stroking behind its ear as her thoughts once again return to their son, Keldon. She kept trying to picture him and all she could get as his hair. "He can go off and wander the Levels with his own plan, but me, I have to stay in everyone’s sight." she grumbles under her breath.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - smiles slightly noting a family sight ahead of them, a large back iron gate, just appearing in the distance. She sighs slightly, the gate a welcome sight and points ahead to it "The gateway to the third Level!" she remarks "Very close now."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden continues to mutter under her breath as she stares in front of her, noticing the gate just as Amara spoke"Finally. I just want to get out of here." she glances round "With him would be better." she mutters.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - glances at Jem and nods "I know, but he'll get through too, soon enough." she replies before glancing at Omar, his words clear in her mind <One way or another.> Amara nods slightly back at him before turning her concentration back to the front and the small guard building appearing next to the Gateway. Amara knew the keeper and hoped she would be able to strike a deal with him for passage through.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden rolls her eyes slightly, wishing they would talk normally, rather than in their minds. Sighing, she shakes her head, reaching down to stroke the horse behind its ears, as she catches a glimpse of a small hut.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - rides up to the building and gracefully demounts her horse before knocking a few times on the door waiting for a reply. A man, wearing and armed in the same fashion as all the gatekeepers opens the door and smiles broadly "Amara, needing passage again are we," he looks around the corner of the door towards the others "For somewhat of a larger party than normal its going to cost ya a fair bit." he comments rubbing his hands together. Amara nods "Theres another too, too come through later...I can offer these three horses, Kitsune trained, good breed and I have a fair amount of gold too." she begins and the man tips his head to the side listening and watching the horses.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden keeps her eyes on Amara, her ears catching the conversation. Jem slips off her horse and walks over to Amara "Please." she begs, standing as straight as her five foot ten frame would allow her as she addressed the guard "Please take the offer. I have gold too." she pulls out her money bag from her purse and opens it to show him the gold inside it.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - blinks looking into Jem's bag but the man seems taken. "I have never seen anything like this before!" he remarks picking out a piece and examining it "I'll take the lot Amara, passage for you four and and fifth later on, a name?" he asks and Amara nods "Thank you good Sir, Creven Calanon...you won't miss him, black and violet hair, violet eyes." she explains and the man nods "Another violet eyed man, you have a thing for these violet eyed men Amara." he comments before taking both money bags and handing the horses reins over to a young stable boy, suddenly appearing from around the corner. Amara laughs slightly before walking towards the gate.
 <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden glances at the Amara and shrugs "I always carry gold." she glances at the guard "Dont let come through with a blonde woman." she says, glancing back at Amara, an eyebrow raised as she starts walking through the gate. Jem shoves her hands in her pockets and starts following Amara, ignoring the last comment by the guard and just staring forward.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- the man nods "Creven Calanon will be the only one let through!" he comments watching as they all disappear. Amara steps out on the other side of the gate and blinks at the bright sun light reflecting off the greenery in front of her. One single path lay in front of them winding its way through the trees, deep and thick on both sides. Amara smiles slightly, a massive change from the last two Levels "Welcome to the third and middle Level, more commonly known as the forest!" she comments before being distracted by a rustling sound coming from a near by bush.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden takes a step through the gate and immediately covers her eyes ”Oh my god. Its so bright!" she exclaims before moving her hands and blinking rapidly as she adjusts and snaps her head to the bush, taking a few steps back. After the last few levels she wasnt wanting to know what was trying to get out.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - immediately turns to face the bush, the highly jewelled dagger back in her hand again as she takes a step forward. A man clad in richly decorated black and red amour steps out and lowers his sword on seeing Amara, "Thats all Xipilli sends you out here with, a poxy dagger?" he remarks as Amara pockets the dagger and throws her arms around the man who chuckles "Its all I normally need!" she replies before taking a step back smiling at the man "Lancaster, what are you doing here?" she asks hopeful and he continues smiling "Pilli sent me to find you and your new friends and take you all back to the estate...hes give me the, umm, device." he explains his voice a whisper at the end. Amara nods and smiles before turning back to Jem and the others "Seb, Omar and Jem...This here is Lancaster, head of the Xipilli Estate guard, and our quick way out of here."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden takes a deep breath as the man emerges from the bushes and lets it out slowly as he and Amara hug. Je tilts her head, frowning slightly as she listens to the man explain and introduce himself. Jem nods at him "Hello. Lancaster?" before shaking her head "No. Im not leaving Creven here." she states, folding her arms across her chest, almost defiantly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Lan) - shakes his head "I've been ordered to take you all back Jem, and back is exactly where we are going, Creven's fate differs to yours for the moment." he comments taking a step towards the others and exchanging a hand shake with Omar, "Nice book." he comments to Seb who beams and nods. Amara smiles slightly before glancing around "We should hurry, they could be people following us..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden narrows her eyes slightly "It will be if he stays with her." she spits, dropping her arms "Lets go before I change my mind and hunt her down." she raises an eyebrow at Seb and Omar, confused by their trust in everyone they had met so far.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods and smiles at Jem quickly grabbing hold of her arm, Omar and Seb seeming to get the idea and doing the same. Lancaster smiles taking a small box out of his pocket and holding it in one hand, using the other to complete a circle between them all. "Xipilli Estate, front drive." he exclaims clearly as a crystal in the box begins to swirl and change colour. In a blur their surroundings change to that of a long gravelled driveway, in front of a large, white Mansion, behind was a large steep rock face lined with production lines, holes for entrances across it in various places, the rest of the grounds in front of the house were pristine, a small forest on the right neat and clipped, the grass freshly cut and a pond to the left and family of ducks swimming across. Amara beams and motions around "Welcome to the Xipilli Estate, finest producers and designers of jewellry anywhere in the Levels." she remarks before starting forwards.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden raises an eyebrow at Amara and opens her mouth to protest just as the scene before them disappears. She closes her eyes, hating to travel in anyway but her own. She grips Amara’s arm tighter than she normally would and opens her eyes as she senses they have reached their destination. Glancing round, wide eyed, she takes in the scenery, her jaw dropping slightly at the sight of the mansion.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - smiles slightly looking over her shoulder and watching their expressions, Seb had nearly even dropped the book. Amara and Lancaster lead the way up to the front of the mansion as the door opens and Xipilli himself walks out, a great smile and look of relief on his face "Amara!" he yells on his way across "Good job Lancaster, thank you." he adds on reaching them Lancaster bows before heading around to the side of the mansion as Xipilli takes Amara into his arms hugging her tightly before leaning his forehead against hers for a few seconds then pulls away, letting her stand at his side as he takes in Seb, Omar and Jem "Welcome, new friends..." he comments with another large smile "Please come inside, we have warm food, drink and anything else you want will be yours. I am so pleased you are here...although one short." he explains before glancing down at Amara "Exceptional circumstances." she comments before striding off towards the house.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden jumps at the sound of someone shouting Amara’s name out. She looks up and takes a step back from h approaching one, having a feeling she knew who he was. Averting her eyes from everyone’s, she growls quietly at the mention on one person missing from the group "Im not hungry." she states "Or thirsty." she adds, not moving as everyone walks towards the house. Jem shakes her head, tutting slightly..
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - pauses behind the others fixing his eyes on Jem "Vampire, one of the few to step foot on my Estate..." he comments his eyes judging her "Be careful who you sink your fangs into." he adds before turning and following the rest inside wrapping an arm around Amara's shoulders after catching up with her.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden glares at the back of Xipilli’s head "Oh I wouldnt sink my fangs into anything round here." she snaps "You never know..." she stops, glancing at the looks she was getting from Seb and Omar and wandering over to sit at the duck pond, attracted by the water of course. "I will be here if you need me." she mutters as she passes.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Omar) - nods and sideways glances at Seb letting them all disappear into the mansion. Omar stays behind and walks over to Jem "Creven probably wouldn't want me telling you this but, " Omar takes a deep breath "He's gone looking for Keldon and Kyson." he states looking down at her.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden jumps at the sound of Omar’s voice and glares at him "What!" she half shrieks "Why didnt you try and stop him." Jem jumps to her feet and heads back to the gate at the bottom of the drive "Where the hell is he, Omar? What Level?" she glances over her shoulder at him "You are supposed to be looking out for him! Why did you let him go after him! Of all people!" she bangs her fists on the gate and slides to the floor, in hysterics "Im going to kill him when he comes home if /he/ hasnt."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Omar) keeps up with Jem trying to wrap his arms around her stopping her from doing anything "Because he had to go on his own, he's in the second Level still Jem, I have a constant link with him, the idea is to wait until he's with Kyson then storm where ever they are with Xipilli and his army, finding out where Kyson is, saving Creven and wiping out opposition to the Opulens.." he tries to explain quickly.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes Omar's arm off her "And you had to use Creven for it. Or are you going to tell me he volunteered?" she snaps "And what if he gets hurt, again?" Jem buries her face in her hands, her back against the gate "How could he do this!"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Omar) - gives us trying to restrain her "He volunteered, explained it to me and I told it all to Amara, she knows Xipilli will agree with it." he replies "Its the quickest way Jem." he finishes before offering her a hand "Come on, its been a long few days, come inside and get some proper rest."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sniffs and wipes her eyes, scoffing slightly "Does he not even care about the consequence, Omar?" she whispers before taking his hand and pulling herself up "Does he not realise the pain this family is already going through with the losses we have had. I lost my son, Omar. My SON!" she grips his hand, hard "And a father in law I considered a father. I cant take another death. Especially not him." she whispers, letting the tears slide down her cheeks.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Omar) - nods not really sure what to say, he was a trained body guard and not used to this. He softly pats her hand with his free one "He knows what he's doing Jem, he'll be fine..." he comments before adding "A little less pressure on the hand could help..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden releases her grip slightly, muttering an apology under her breath "Im not hungry." she grumbles "I dont want to see anyone right now." she stares at the mansion.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Omar) - nods "Well, just don't leave the estate, not that I think you'll be able too..." he comments before looking over at the mansion "I could really do with something to eat, I'll come find you later." he comments before walking back off into the direction of the mansion and shuts the door behind himself with a quick glance over his shoulder at Jem.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles slightly at Omar, her mind still not been put at rest. In fact, if anything, it had been made worse knowing Creven had volunteered himself to go and told everyone else but her. She kicks pebble up the driveway as she walks, averting her eyes from the building, knowing she was being watched. Jem sighs, running her hand through her hair before shoving them deep into her jeans pockets. At least she didnt need her jacket here. It was warm enough compared to the rest of the Levels they had been on. She shudders, Jessie’s voice running through her head. Jem shakes it away and makes her way back over to the duck pond, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand as she sat down.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- Xipilli leaves the others and walks out onto a side balcony with Amara about half the way up the mansion on the left hand side. He takes a seat of a small bistro set and offers the spare to Amara who nods and takes it willingly. "So, Creven has stayed behind to find Kyson, let us know where he is so we can flush him out of his hiding hole." he comments and Amara nods "Yes, slightly reckless but does have a good potential, but Pilli, do we have enough of a force? Kyson will be well protected." she asks and watches her master and mentor nod "The Opulens will send their forces too, I have a meeting with their war council tomorrow." he explains and Amara nods. "Amara, be frank, these people you've brought back, the Kitsune’s and the Vampire do you have their trust? will they follow our orders and suggestions?" he asks his eyes making contact with hers. "The Kitsunes yes, but Jem, the vampire...I'm not so sure, she doesn’t trust me, not fully, and definitely not now." she replies folding her arms.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sits up, catching voices drifting down to her on the slight breeze. She lets out a sigh before muttering "Nice to know you dont have trust issues, Amara" she grumbles slightly. Sometimes having vampire hearing wasnt a good thing.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley - Xipilli nods "I've always prefered Kitsune over Vampires." he comments leaning back in his chair, his eyes still on Amara who nods and smiles, "And you have every right...How are the Opulens?" she asks, changing the subject. Xipilli frowns "Concerned, to say the least...still after your hand in marriage, but don't worry I haven't said yes...there’s still redemption time for Keldon...who seems to have kept very underground recently." he explains and Amara nods looking away slightly.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden covers her ears as she hears her sons name mentioned and she runs to the front door of the mansion. Turning the handle, she walks through the hallway, eyes widened before sniffing out Seb and Omar  and following their scent to another large room. "Dont even leave me alone with either of them." she snaps as she barges into the room and sits next to Seb. "Just dont." she mutters, her eyes black.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley - Seb smiles at Jem looking up from his book then frowns "Who, Amara and Xipilli? Why, their good people, both of them...infact Xipilli is mentioned in this book..." he explains pointing to something which he begins to read.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden snorts, rather rudely "I dont care if he is mentioned in the book or on Olympus." she snaps "I dont want to be left alone with them. I heard them talking when I was sat outside."  she states "I think he hates vampires and she hates me anyway."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- Omar walks over to Jem and Seb munching on something as Seb nods looking back up at Jem "He has a good reason too, and the Olympians would keep their distance from someone like him." he explains before looking down at the book "Xipilli is one of the most powerful people in the Levels, not only with wealth but with what he can do." he pauses before looking back up at Jem "He's not just been genetically enhanced mentally and physically but his blood contains the blood of all of the races found here."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs, curling up in a chair as Omar walks over to them. She wrinkles her nose as she catches a whiff of the food. Glancing at Seb she raises an eyebrow "But if he has the blood of all the races, surely he hates himself slightly too?" she frowns, confused.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- Seb shrugs "I'm not sure...its just what’s written here...I'm guessing Amara is the same." he comments and watches Omar nod "Yes, her mind is well...weird, sometimes like reading a humans, then a Kitsune, Vampire, Werewolf and a few I don't recognise...by the way these sandwiches are really good." he comments.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- Xipilli glances down at a watch on his wrist "Mine inspection time...would you do the honours today Amara?" he asks trying his best smile. Amara laughs and nods "Course I will Pilli, just one thing," she replies before starting to stand up "Try not to offend Jem too much." she finishes before he waves her away, Amara bows slightly before walking again smiling to herself.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden stares at Omar "Take that away from me Omar. It smells disgusting." she mutters, moving away slightly from him, covering her nose with her hand. She was thirsty but asking for blood wasnt something she really wanted to do. Dangerous she knew, but she also knew she wasnt going to get the best reception for that request. She stands up, her hand still over her nose, and walks overto the table to make herself a cup of tea instead. "She has multi minds?" she questions as she stirs her drink.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley - Omar finishes the sandwich and shakes his head then nods "Yes and no...I'm not sure...shes a puzzle that one, an attractive puzzle." he comments as Seb laughs and rolls his eyes. "An attractive puzzle who has good hearing too!" Amara comments poking her head through the door "thanks for the compliment Omar...off out for a little while, but will be back in a couple of hours." she comments before disappearing around the door frame, Omar turning slightly pinker than normal.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden hisses slightly at the sound of Amara’s footsteps approaching, not having time to shush Omar before she walks in. She shakes her head and goes to stand near an open window, her eyes flickering from black to bright red as Amara speaks and walks back out. "Wonder where she’s going?" she muses as she sips her tea, grinning slightly behind her cup at the colour of Omar’s face.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley - "To inspect the mines, Amara get on well with the workers, no doubt she'll want to have a good chat with them as usual." Xipilli answers Jem's question as he walks in and hands her a dusty glass bottle "The Opulens, are good friends of mine, they say this helps the cravings, I always have some in stock incase they visit." he remarks handing it over to her as well as a glass before sitting down on the nearest sofa "So here you are, Kel's real mother...its been fun playing his 'father' for a while, but know his blood born are here to take over."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden narrows her eyes at Xipilli as he walks in. She takes the glass and walks over to set it on the table before walking back over to the window, folding her arms across her chest as she leans against the wall "Yes Im his birth mother. Where is he?"` she asks him, as politely as she can through gritted teeth.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley - Xipilli studies Jem carefully before shrugging "I haven't seen the boy for over a week, he hasn't stepped foot inside the estate since then, at least not that I'm aware of...I'm guessing he's with Kyson, whos exact location is very hush hush..." he explains with a shrug before leaning forwards "Although soon, thanks to Creven we will be able to find them both.."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden scoffs and shakes her head "Well havent you been wonderful in raising him." she sneers slightly, turning her nose up as he leans in. ”Im well aware Creven has gone hunting Kyson down. I have lost count how many times we have killed him now. Hes getting rather boring to me." she rolls her eyes "And although Im not impressed in Crevens choice, Im disgusted that everyone seemed to agree on it. Well everyone but me who knew nothing about it. Im his WIFE dammit!"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley - Xipilli nods listening to her "His wife...and the person most likely to disagree with his plans, he knew what you would say so saw no point in even asking...it wasnt worth the argument" he states simply with another shrug "His plan will work, you will just have to learn to be patient."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden laughs "Argument or not. to be told what was happening BEFORE HE WENT would have been nice. I hated leaving him with her!" she yells at Xipilli "And the next time I see her, Im going to tear her pretty little throat out. I know she wont have been able to keep her hands off him. He wouldn’t have touched her, but thats not the point." she growls and walks away, back to the chair, shaking with anger.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli nods and holds his hands up "Do what you want with Jessie, she is no concern of mine and totaly yours, your revenge, your target." he comments before lowering his hands. Omar helps himself to another sandwich listening quietly to the conversation
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden growls "She better be And I dont need permission to take out anyone." she leans back in her chair, rather smugly, her arms folded across her chest.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli raises his eyebrows "Most people I know do...you are a rare exception to that rule." he comments before standing again. "One of the maids will be around later to show you to your rooms, for now please feel free to wander around the house and grounds, but leave the mines and production lines alone." he finishes before turning swiftly and walking out of the door.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden opens her mouth to retort rather rudely, and shuts it as Xipilli leaves the room. She glances at Seb and Omar, her eyesbrows raised at their questionable, slightly angry look on their faces, and averts her eyes to the floor, biting her lip.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Omar) - finishes another sandwich before walking towards the door "I'm going to have a look around this house see what I can find." he states and Seb nods "I'll stay here for now, got a bit or reading to do, just keep and eye out Omar." he says with a smile, Omar nods before stepping through the door and heading down the corridor.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods a bye to Omar, flashing him a small smile before he goes. Jem glances at the glass she had been brought and mutters under her breath. She refused to touch it. It could be poisoned. She shudders and glances over at Seb "What else does the book say?" she asks, staying seated in the chair."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley - Seb looks up at Jem and smiles "I'll tell you when I've read some more, and I think you're safe with that drink." he comments before turning his attention back towards the book. - - Amara takes the back door out of the house and instead of taking the straight path to the mines decides to take the forest path, leading her to the furthest mine so she could work her way backwards back to the mansion. As she's been away for a few days she was curious as to what may have happened, a new layer of gems discovered, new workers, new designs and any general gossip she smiles to herself coming up with different stories as she walks through the trees, feeling glad again to be back somewhere she recognised and felt safe. Amara pauses quickly looking up, watching a bird hop across a branch as the sun streamed through the trees leaves, it really was a lovely sight to see after the other Levels and most of all, it was home to her.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden turns her nose up "Personally, I would rather starve, Seb." she snots "That may sound rude, but I dont care right now. Im not taking blood from some vampire hater. I dont know if you have noticed, there arent any others around is there." she shifts in the chair "Im not risking it."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- - -Seb nods and shrugs "Okay...but I think you can trust him, all the Opulens are still alive..." he comments with a smile before returning his nose back into the book. - - Amara sighs slightly thinking through everything that was happening, the thoughts suddenly disrupting her peace of mind, frowning she continues along the small eastern path again.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) wanders quietly a few paces behind Amara. He could see she was in a world of her own. He had also noticed a change in the house. New people. Not exactly people though. "Amara." he ducked behind a tree and darted in front of her path, grinning.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - stops suddenly and blinks taking in the person now in front of her. His hair and eyes making him unmistakable. She freezes on the spot, for perhaps the first time in her life unsure of what to say or do "Kel..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) chuckles and takes a few steps towards her "Whats wrong? slightly speechless at the stunning man infront of you?" he laughs, flicking his hair from his eyes "Dont worry, you aren’t alone. Plenty of people are still stunned by this." he gestures to himself, grinning cheekily.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - cant help herself but smile slightly before frowning and pushing her way past him "I don't have a lot to say to you after what happened." she replies bluntly not looking at him but diverting her eyes to the ground "Especially since seeing Jessie, what the hell happened to you Kel?" she continues before turning around to face him.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden raises his eyebrows as she pushes past him. He watches her walk away a moment before he hears Jessie’s name and runs to catch up "Amara." he grabs her arm and spins her round "Amara nothing happened with Jessie. I just needed somewhere to hide out a few days to get away from him." he nods towards the mansion, running a hand down her cheek "Dont be mad at me please." he pleads, resting his forehead on hers.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - closes her eyes before taking a step back from him shaking her head "How can I not be mad at you Kel? after what you did?" she replies her voice a little uneven, her eyes dropping from his face to where she had injured him during their fight at the Opulens "Kel, what have the others done to you...why are you betraying Pilli and me?" she continues her temper raising --
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- slightly, wanting exact answers out of him.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) shakes his head and takes a step back from her "I dont know what you mean, Amara." he snaps "Im doing nothing to betray anyone." his voice rose as he spoke, and he took a deep breath to try and regain his composure. "Amara. Come with me. I will show you what I have been doing. But you cant tell anyone. Not yet at least." he glances round, fearing he had been detected. That wouldnt do. Not for what he had planned at least.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - shakes her head again "Yes you are, do you even remember anything of that night?" she asks folding her arms "No Kel, you shouldn't even be here..." she says taking a few deep breaths, in her eyes what he had done should have been unforgivable and it was taking most of her strength to not just run to him and throw her arms around him pretending nothing had happened.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) lowers his head, ashamed "No. I dont remember anything, Amara." he looks up at her "Did I hurt you at all? I never wanted to and Im so sorry if I did." he falls to his knees in front of her "Amara, please. Im sorry. Forgive me for any hurt I have caused you." he holds his arms open slightly towards her.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - watches him in front of her "Nothing?" she states and asks "You tried to kill the Mighty, and me when I stopped you..." she adds before taking one of his hands in her left hand the bracelet he had given her sliding slightly down her wrist "Kel what has Kyson done to you?" she asks almost a whisper a softness in her eyes.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) shrugs slightly and glances at the bracelet. He looks up at Amara and kisses her quickly, slipping the bracelet off her arm and dropping it on the ground behind him, hoping she didnt notice. "Kyson? Oh Kyson has done so much for me. He has been more of a father that him in the mansion, all high and mighty." Kel stands up "Come with me" he urges, desperation in his voice as he watches her.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - smiles slightly a sadness returning to her eyes "Kel, I've met your real parents, from out of this world..." she starts but stops unsure of what else to say before shaking her head "I can't come, Pilli needs me here, so do the others...why can't you just come back to us, to me...forget Kyson, what hes doing is wrong Kel!" she remarks taking a step back.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs, throwing his head back. He glares at Amara "My real parents? Out of this world? What, like aliena?"he chuckles, shaking his head "My mother was bitten by a stinking vampire when she was carrying me. She DIED Amara! You know the story, the truth. Why are you lying to me! Making things up so I will come back?" he shakes his head, taking a step closer to her, now only a few inches away from her "I cant. And neither can you, now you have seen me." he scoops her up and runs deeper into the woods, Amara in his arms.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - tries to free herself from his arms falling out of his grip onto the ground. Amara picks herself back up quickly and shakes her head "Kel listen to me, Pilli never told you the truth because he was worried you'd try to look for them!" she begins to yell her eyes turning dark "She never carried you! It was all a ploy to keep you safe and protected! I was there!" she continues "Why have you come back? For me? Why Keldon?" she continues, her breathing deeper and faster than normal. She continues to glare at him while rubbing a slight graze on her arm.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) stops and helps Amara up, keeping a grip on her "I came back for you. I want you to come with me. Please." he almost pleads with her, shaking his head "LIES! all lies" he hisses glaring at the woman in front of him "Amara, why are you saying this?" he tries to get his head round what she was saying, the words sinking in, some making sense. Things never seemed to add up. He had heard things. The servants talked when they thought he wasnt around. The things he had heard.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - glances slightly down at his hand on her arm "Why Kel? whats going on?" she asks, her voice blunt, trying to block her emotions. She shakes her head, trying to step back from him not liking the look in his eyes "Kel please, you have to believe me...its true, you deserve to know." she explains the bluntness slipping away slowly.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) tilts his head at her, still keeping his hand on her wrist "I dont know, Amara.." he starts "Things have been said. A long time ago. About me. I dont know what to believe anymore. Maybe I wanted to believe he is my father. Maybe my real parents, if they exist, if this is true, are just cold blooded killers, murderers, criminals." he shrugs "So what. Maybe Im happy here." n truth he hated it here. He wasnt allowed to do anything. Thats why he rebelled. Kyson had found him, offered him friendship, taught him to fight. He stared at Arama. He had fallen in love. It was forbidden. But he didnt care. He smiles at her, a crooked smile.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - takes a deep breath "Kel they do...and they're here, the seem nice enough...a little odd but nice." she comments daring a step towards him again "Kel, they know Kyson...for the wrong reasons from where they come from...please try to believe me..." she continues running a hand softly down his cheek.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) raises his eyebrows, the smile falling from his face "They what?" she drops Amara’s wrist "Would they be the new people I can sense in the manor?" he tilts his head "A stinking vampire?" he questions her, slightly intrigued. "Why hasn’t Xipilli killed it yet? Like he says he wants to do all the rest?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - sighs and nods "Shes your mother...temper like yours." she replies before shrugging "I don't know some prophecy thing, you know what Pilli is like with prophecies..." she looks back up at him into his eyes and takes another step towards him placing one hand on his chest "Your real father, Creven, a Kitsune, a damn powerful one is out looking for Kyson..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sighs and stares at her. He believed her. He knew when people were lying. He also knew Amara was one who wouldnt do such a thing to him. He trusted her with his life. "Amara. I think its time to go pay Xipilli a little visit. Confront him about all this." he scoffs slightly "Not exactly what I had on my agenda tonight, but its something." he laughs coldy.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - frowns slightly "Why, what were you planning?" she asks without moving from her current position but slides a hand down her left arm and back again before looking down at her wrist which she quickly covers with her hand, her bracelet gone, she knew she was wearing it earlier, probably dropped it when he picked her up. Amara tries not to draw his attention to it but continues to face him "I will take you to him if you so wish, but just remember...your a traitor now on this Estate..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs again, nodding "I have been an outcast around here for a long time, Amara. Being a so called traitor is nothing new." he shrugs and slips an arm around her "But with you, Im-sure we will be ok." he winks, placing a kiss on her cheek, muttering apologies in her ear, ignoring her first question.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - smiles slightly and returns the kiss but senses something was wrong, he wasn't quite right somehow, but she couldn't place her finger on what, his mind seemed more closed. Amara nods and starts walking back the way they came, hoping to come across her bracelet on the way back, but would she really take him all the way back, Pilli wouldn't react well...she doubted anyone from the estate would.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) whispers "You know, you havent ever been good at keeping your thoughts to yourself.." he smirks at her “You had better take me to him. Let me deal with the consequences. Tell them you found me dazed and confused." he shrugs "Or something. Im sure you can come up with a lie almost as good as Xipilli's."!
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods "I dont see the point in keeping my mind hidden from you." she states before glancing up at him and stopping again "Kel, something isn't right here..." she comments no --
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- longer able to stand not knowing what was going on but she shakes her head again and continues walking slightly ahead of him this time.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) yawns, slightly bored "I dont care Amara. Seriously. I dont." he stops next to her "Nothing is ever right here. Do you not see it yet? Xipilli has everyone believing whatever he wants them to believe. Whatever he says. Im seventeen, Amara. Hes lied to me all my life, if what you say is true. How long has he lied to you about things?" he glances over his shoulder at her as he starts walking off again "Come on."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - frowns slightly following him then over taking him. ahead of them on the path she spots her bracelet and stops to slip it back on pretending to check her shoe lace as a ploy before standing up and holding out a hand to him "I don't know, but I've always believed you." she comments "Although I do have the advantage of being able to read Pilli's mind, fully.." she explains.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sighs and waits for her to tie her shoelace. He sees her pick up her bracelet, and says nothing. Running his hands through his hair before taking her hand as they start to walk again he glances over at her "Amara. What exactly have you read in his mind?" he asks, trying to make it look like he was just filling the silence as they walked.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - blinks looking over at him and shrugs "Everything...the truth, everything which has really happened..." she starts before stopping slightly reaching the edge of the forest. Amara grips his hand tighter and starts to walk across the back lawn "Deep down all his intentions are good..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden scoffs, letting her lead the way. "Whatever you say Amara." he mutters, glancing at the house before looking down at his feet to give the impression she was leading him across the lawn. The sun hit his face before he looked down and he squinted, staggering slightly at the rays blurred his vision briefly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - squeezes Keldon's hand slightly and tries to reach into his mind a little more. As she reaches the steps she opens the door and begins to lead him down the main corridor towards the front room where Jem and Seb were. "Xipilli!" she yells with a glance up the stairs "Keldon is here!" she finishes before leading him into the front room her eyes flickering from Jem to Keldon.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) winces slightly as Amara yells for Xipilli as they walk into a room he recognised. He dropped Amara’s hands, debating running as he saw the people in it. His eyes flicked from the woman to the man and back to Amara. Jem stood in the window. She snapped her head round at the sound of Amara’s footsteps, frowning at the second set she could hear. Her eyes foxed on the door, she gasped and stared at Seb at Amara’s announcement, dropping her cup as they both walked through the door, freezing on the spot.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley - Xipilli walks up behind Amara and Keldon basically pushing Keldon through the door further into the room before walking around in front of him and folding his arms "Jem, meet your son..." Xipilli states a frown on his face, eyes deep and dark "You have one hell of an explanation to tell, or shall I just have you executed straight away?" he suggests even his voice deep--
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- more of a growl. "Pilli please," Amara starts stepping slightly in front of Keldon "Just listen, let everyone explain whats happening." she suggests her voice calm and eyes not leaving--
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli in front of her.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden snaps out of her frozen state and storms over to Xipilli, standing with her arms folded in front of Keldon "Dont you dare touch him! He is my son." she pokes his arm "You have no right to threaten him with anything now. I am his mother." she growls and turns slowly to face Keldon, a small smile on her face. She tips his chin up "Wow. You dont half look like your father" she mutters. Kel stares at the back of the woman’s head as she snaps and growls at Xipilli, a small grin on his face. Someone had the guts to stand up to him. Finally. He raises an eyebrow as she tips his chin up, pushing her hand away. "Xipilli. I dont know what happened. Honestly. I dont. I have spoken to Amara in the forest. I dont know what to say."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley - Xipilli raises his eyebrows fixed on Keldon ignoring Jem for the time "Is this true Amara?" he asks and she nods "Yes, as far as I can tell..." she replies glancing back at Kel and smiling softly at him "Somethings happened to him, I'll blame Kyson for that, even though he trusts him." she continues and Xipilli laughs "I don't know why you ever went to Kyson, was it freedom Kel? I thought I allowed a lot here..." he replies before sitting in the nearest chair, his eyes scanning over Keldon. Seb stands up edging slightly closer the book clutched in his hands and he takes another seat at a different table.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs, shaking his head "It wast freedom." he sneers "It was something to do. He offered me, I accepted it." his lip curls up into a small snarl. Jem sighs "Keldon..." she startes. Kel glares at her "What? Going to start the parenting on me now are you? What right do you have? What did you think? I was going to come running back, after all this time, as if nothing had happened? As if I were with you all along? Well Im sorry, things dont turn out they way we want them do, do they." his voice drops to a whisper, as he stands smirking at her Jem stares at him, speechless "Wow, Keldon. Just wow. I wanst expecting you to come running back, throwing your arms round me and forgiving me for whatever you though we had done wrong. but I though you would have been brought up with a small amount of decency." she glares at Xipilli "Nice job you did with my son. Maybe lies arent the best way to go about things." she hisses as she turns away and sits next to Seb, holding her head in her hands.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - frowns not liking the way things were going and right now knowing that the only person she would probably be able to comfort would be Kel, she'd listened to him and Pilli argue many times before so turns slightly placing a hand on Kel's chest and looking up at him unsure what to say but hoping her eyes would at least give away that she cared. Xipilli leans forward in his chair "Always so loud Kel, brilliant first impression." he comments with a smirk "I raised him perfectly well for the Levels...sorry if thats not up to your standards, but some of us aren't supposed to be parents and don't just lose out kids through portals, its a good job I found him..." he comments looking over at Jem as Seb starts to note things down in the back of the book.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) glances up at Amara, nodding at her. Jem narrows her eyes, turning slowly to Xipilli " Are you saying I did this on PURPOSE!" she yells at him "Im a good mother! As if you would know. Raising someone elses missing child." she stands up again and starts making her way over to him, sat rather smug in his chair "Dont EVER question my parenting!" she screams.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - smiles softly at Keldon leaning her head against his shoulder trying to block Jem and Pilli out. Pilli nods "I wasn't questioning your parenting, just saying things are done differently HERE!" he yells back and stands up, his voice still deep. Seb raises his eyebrows and winces slightly at the raise in volume before keeping his eyes on the book not wanting to get involved, at all.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) wraps his arms round Amara, stroking her hair. Jem snarls at Xipilli "Is he hadnt been TAKEN FROM ME as soon as he had been born, none of this would have happened!" she yells right back at him, paying no attention to anyone else in the room "And as well as that it might be nice to have had my HUSBAND here to meet his son! But no. He has to go and do what he thinks is best for everyone. Even if it gets him KILLED!"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley - - Amara smiles again at Kel "Shall we just sneak off and let them argue?" she whispers looking up at him a slight mischievous look in her eyes. Xipilli rolls his eyes "Well I had nothing to do with taking him, he could have been killed or died unless I found him!" he yells back at Jem folding his arms "And again I had nothing to do with that! That Jem, was your husband's --
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- idea and NOT mine!" he finishes glaring across the room.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) nods slowly, backing up out of the room, Amara in tow. Jem snaps "I dont care right this moment who had to do with taking him! I will tear their head off when I find out who it was. Trust me." she raises her voice, not moving away from Xipilli "That situation will be dealt with in its own time. And apparently I dont seem to matter to my husbands decisions anymore. So why should I matter to anyone else’s." she falters and bursts into tears, turning and running from the room, tears rolling down her cheek as she runs up the corridor, unsure where she was going.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley - Amara watches Jem run up the corridor before glancing at Kel "I'm, well...not really sure what to say." she comments before looking down and away from him. - Xipilli paces the room, frowning deeply, he would let Jem go running off, there was nothing he could do anyway, for now he could only wait until Omar came up with Creven's position with Kyson.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) raises his eyebrows slightly "Im not sure either. We should get out of here though. Out the way." he nods over in Xipilli’s direction. Jem stops running and slides down the wall, taking deep breaths, pulling her knees to her chin, her back against the wall.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - shakes her head following him "Somewhere quiet...away from this lot for a little while." she comments keeping up with him.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs, agreeing with her "How about in here?" he stops outside a door.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods and shrugs glancing over her shoulder "Fine by me." she replies.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) pushes the door open, slowly and peeks his head in. He grins at Amara "Look at this. Its a bedroom" he winks before walking in.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - laughs and rolls her eyes following him in "You're...well..." she laughs again shutting the door behind them and leaning against it "Keldon, what am I going to do with you?" she asks her voice playful, and everything else seeming a million miles away rather than just through a door.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs, walking back towards her, placing his hands on the door, either side of her waist, his face hovering just in front of hers "Well, why dont we find out." he teases in a whisper leaning in to kiss her neck.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - smiles looping her hands around his waist "Why don't we indeed." she comments tilting her chin slightly giving him better access to her neck.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) chuckles, nipping at her ear softly as he scoops her up and walks across the room with her "You're just incredible" he whispers, setting her down on the bed.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - giggles at him before wrapping her arms around him pulling him down on top of her "As are you." she comments back, a smile across her face.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) rolls his eyes, grinning "Well, feisty arent you, Amara." he wiggles his eyebrows, leaning in to kiss her.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara smiles before pushing him off her leaning over him "Well...I haven't seen you for a while...not since you tried to kill me..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) snorts "Well, dear Amara. Keldon didnt do a very good job of it did he. You're still alive."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley pulls back from him frowning, he never referred to himself in the third person. Amara shakes her head "no he didn't,." she comments moving away even more
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs, grabbing her wrists "Yes, he never did the simplest job right." he shakes his head "Im disappointed. It means Im going to have to do the dirty job myself." he sighs "I hate getting my hands dirty."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara - gasps and twists her wrist trying to free them "You're not him! You're Kyson!" She remarks panic flashing across her eyes "Where's Kel? What have you done to him?" she demands to know. Her heart rate increased and senses on full alert, of course she had sensed something was wrong, the reason she couldn't fully read his mind, it made sense now and she half cursed herself --
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- for not realising it before but letting her emotions for Keldon get the better of her.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs again, gripping her tighter "Oh no. dont be fighting it. Dont be making a sound. Keldon is in here somewhere, screaming to get out. I will let him out, after I have killed you. And Im not telling you when that will be The look of surprise is such fun." a smirk crosses his face as he pulls a dagger out on the belt of his waist.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara shakes her head wincing slightly but still tries to free her wrists "Good, because that means he may be able to hear me...and not going to lie Kel, could really do with you right now!" she exclaims her voice getting louder and eyes slightly wider at the sight of the dagger.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) shakes his head "Oh he can hear you. But he won’t listen. He’s screaming for you. And to think, sweet Amara." he trails the blade across her neck "When you die by my hands everyone will think its Keldon that did it. No one will be able to defend him. I can swap his memories for mine, so even reading his mind will make it look like he is guilty" the voice whispers in her ear "And to think what we were going to do."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara glares straight into Keldon’s eyes, Kysons last words really deeply cutting into her "They won't believe it, the others will find out the truth, that's if you even go through with it." she snarls before recoiling from him "At least you had the decency not too..." she replies before awkwardly twisting one of her wrists around to get a hand around his digging her nails in sharply.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs again "Oh I will do it." he starts before wincing at her nails digging into him, making him drop the knife. He watches with raised eyebrows as the blade drops, seemingly in slow motion, and lands with a sickening thud deep into Amara’s neck. Kyson giggles excitedly "Well that couldn’t have worked out better if I tried." he says, pulling the blade out and climbing Amara, wiping the blade clean, before giving her a wave. "Goodbye Amara." he whispers as Keldon’s body goes limp, slumping to the floor, indicating Kyson had left.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara - gasps, sparks flashing in front of her eyes with the pain, her vision blurring. Amara wraps a hand around the wound in her neck, breathing becoming difficult, she tries to slow it knowing part of her blood contained healing properties, but probably not enough. She glances over at Keldon, hot tears rolling down her face, feeling her whole body weaken, the sensation reminding her of a time, long ago, strength going, the face of a familiar person swimming into view in her memories as she blanks out, body limp, blood everywhere.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) gasps, finding himself on the floor. He sits up quick, a hand flying to his head as he glances at the bed “Amara?" he whispers "AMARA!" he yells, running to the bed and seeing the blood "NOO!" he screams and runs to the door, throwing it open "I NEED SOME HELP!" he yells into the empty corridor.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli rubs his throat slightly then his forehead experiencing a sharp pain. Odd, he thought to himself before hearing Keldon’s yelling. Immediately him runs from the room into the corridor and towards Keldon. "Where is she? Where's Amara?" he yells before pushing Keldon aside, clapping a hand to his mouth before running across to the bed and Amara's side.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden snaps her head up, smelling the blood, her eyes flickering bright red. She jumps up, running towards it and stops in the doorway, snapping her head from Keldon to the bloody body of Amara on the bed. Kel shakes his head, tears streaming down his face, unable to look over at her. Jem wraps her arms round her son tight "I dont know what happened." he mutters over and over again.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli shakes his head "I think I've got a good enough idea son..." He comments retrieving Amara's own dagger from her pocket "She even tried to warn me earlier...before someone started to argue with me." he mutters shaking his head a few times cutting his own hand and placing it against the cut on Amara's neck. "Kel! You know where the Kitsune star balls are find the biggest one, and be quick about it!" he snaps over his shoulder, his voice full of command but also on the edge of something else."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) nods, running off without a word to anyone. Jem glares at the back on Xipilli’s head, shaking her own and folding her arms across her chest "Dont blame me for this." she mutters under her breath "Is there anything I can do?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli shakes his head "not unless you are in possession of a very powerful healing potion or something." he comments not taking his eyes off Amara "I can't lose her, Amara means more to me than anyone, her and Kel sure make a good pair, both of whom I deeply love , I will not let anyone take them from me." he growls his voice deeper than even, verging on the sound of thunder, the skies outside beginning to darken.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs and dives into her bag, pulling out a vial "I have a healing vial, made with phoenix tears." she holds it out to him "I dont know what good it will do here, but anything’s worth a try." she sighs slightly "I dont want to loose my son, Xipilli. Not now I have just got him back." she adds as Kel runs back in with a large starball in his hands.
<GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli immediately grabs the vial off Jem uncorking the bottle "Phoenixes have been extinct in the Levels for centuries..."he comments also taking the ball from Keldon and placing it against Amara's forehead muttering a few words as he pours two drops of the silvery liquid onto Amara's wound. Xipilli sits back keeping his eyes on her, the ball glowing a multitude of colours-
<GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -,the tears seeming to begin to heal the wound although slowly, very slowly. Xipilli runs a shaky hand through his hair but watches as Amara's breathing slowly begins to stabilise. He quickly checks her pulse, quick and irregular but there and strong, he nods once before standing up, still his eyes not leaving her. "She'll need a blood transfusion, which I'll set up straight away, the starball will regulate her brain activity for now until I've got everything else stabilised." he explains before turning around and slapping Kel on the shoulder "And you and I need a little talk about keeping people out of ones mind Kel, yell if anything changes." he remarks before hurrying out of the room, nodding to Jem on his way past.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden runs her hands through her hair, watching Xipilli close. She stayed out of the room, away from the blood, even though it did smell different. Closing her eyes briefly, letting the blood lust pass her, she sighs, opening them, catching Kel watching her. She smiles slightly at him, unsure what to say to him. Kel looks away, letting his eyes follow Xipilli as he walks out the room,
 making a huffing noise, shaking his head "I dont need help." he mutters. Jem chuckles slightly, causing Kel to glare at her "Trust me, Keldon. closing your mind is extremely useful."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley . Amara remains pale, although her breathing slowly returning to something a little more normal, the speed quicker though. Xipilli returns a few minuets later carrying a medical case and places it down next to Amara, he glances sideways at Keldon and tries to give him a reassuring smile.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head, watching before she starts to pace in the corridor, not wanting to be in the way. She stops, letting Xipilli pass her and re-enter the room. Jem continues pacing. Kel tilts his head as he leans on the doorframe, watching the one who was supposedly his mother. He lets his eyes wander over her, trying to make sense of things. Flicking his fringe from his eyes and not seeing her paying him any attention anytime soon, seeing she was elsewhere in her thoughts, Kel walks into the room and sits in the bed, stroking Amara’s hair.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli looks up at Keldon as he starts rummaging through the case "She'll be fine Kel, I promise." he comments his voice soft and calm. Quickly he turns his attention back to his work, setting up various pieces of equipment. Xipilli sits on the bed next to Amara inserting a needing and tube into her arm before doing the same to himself and hooking them both up to the medical equipment. He turns it on, watching his blood flow down the tube into the equipment and back out to Amara. A downside to being genetically modified, only Amara and Xipilli had their type of blood, blood that they couldn't create themselves but which Xipilli had to construct in his lab, for now he would share some of his with Amara due to the urgency, and sort out new blood for them both later.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden whimpers slightly as more blood hits her. She growls at herself and decides to walk back to try and find the room Seb was in. Kel glances at the door, hearing the growl before looking at Xipilli, watching him intensely, watching the wires, the blood and the tubes before returning his eyes back to Amara’s face.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli continues to watch the blood flow knowing her could get away with losing about half of his own, he would then have to wait a few hours while he made some more in the lab. Amara should be okay, he thought to himself, yes she had lost a lot of blood at the wound was deep but he was quick to act and her body have a few own self healing a preservation mechanisms which seemed to  be working well, it was just the blood loss he was worried about.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden finally finds the room, and wanders through the door, picking up the glass as she passes and taking a sip."Seb?" she takes a seat and glances over at him "Something’s happened." She starts and sits explaining what was going on. Kel nods once at Xipilli as he watches.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley - Seb stares blankly at Jem before nodding unsure of even what to say, definitely surprised. Xipilli smiles slightly watching part of Amara's colour return again, not looking quite so deathly pale.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sight heavily, sipping the blood. She fidgets slightly before glancing back over to Seb "Have you ... heard from Creven yet?" she whispers, curling her feet up underneath her. Kel smiles too, noting the colour return to Amara’s face, willing her to be ok.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Seb shakes his head. "I haven't, but Omar is the one in contact with him, I'm sure as soon as he hears anything you'll be the first told." he says with a smile before returning to nose back to the book again. "By the sounds of things it looks like the Gods can send people here after death, for one reason or another..." he explains pointing to a picture within the book ”They send people here to do their work for them rather than coming themselves" he explains. Xipilli stops the machine softly removing the tubes from their arms and placing a small plaster over the cut. "done, for now...she should wake up soon." he comments muttering something. And removing the starball, it's colours disappearing and fading back to being clear.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods slightly, glancing round "Where is Omar?" she questions as she looks at the book "Well that would explain why she is here." Jem hisses slightly, shuddering "I hope I dont end up here when I..." she smiles slightly, taking another sip of her drink. She had already seen her death, far into the future. It wasnt what she thought it would be. It was going to hurt. A hell of a lot. Jem shudders, shaking the memory of the vision away as she reads over Sebs shoulder a few moments longer before wandering back over to the windowsill and staring out over the gardens. Keldon nods "Thank Xipilli" he mutters, kissing Amara’s forehead "I really dont know what happened. Im sorry." he adds.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Seb shrugs "Around somewhere, I think he went upstairs." he replies before standing up "I'll go and have a look for him." he comments before standing and slipping out of the door. Xipilli nods and lies a hand on Keldon’s shoulder "I'm sure Amara will fill us in on a few things" he comments looking back down at her.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods once, not looking over as Seb walks out. She leans her forehead on the window, wondering what was happening with Creven and Jessie. Jem turns her nose up, her lips curling over her fangs. It didnt bear thinking about. Keldon looks at the hand on his shoulder, slightly surprised as he glances up at Xipilli "What the hell?" he shrugs the hand off him.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli holds his hand up "Just trying to offer a bit of support Kel..." he says glancing at him before glancing down at Amara as she stirs slightly.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs slightly "Maybe so. Im just not used to you being so, whats the word, decent to me. Especially of late." he grabs Amaras hand "Amara?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli nods and smiles slightly "I guess so." he comments before softly smiling at Amara who was blinking up at them both. "Kel...actually you this time?" she asks her voice slightly weaker than normal.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) raises an eyebrow at Xipilli and snaps his head right back to Amara, nodding with a confused look on his face "Yes. Its me. Why wouldn’t it be?" he strokes her cheek softly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara frowns trying to move away from him slightly "Because it wasn't last time..." she comments looking up at Xipilli"He was here, Kyson was here...in Kel." she explains quickly with a slight shudder as she places a hand across her neck.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) lowers his hand as Amara moves away "Last time? Amara, I dont understand." he looks round as if he were just realising where he was "How did I end up here? I was just outside." he looks at the window "And it was dark! Why is it daylight?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara shakes her head looking up at him, her mind was fogy so no use trying to work out if it really was Kel, but Kyson did say he would leave. "I met you in the woods Kel, you tried to get me to go with you, before you changed your mind and decided to come be here where....well...trying to kill me again." she finishes her voice becoming more of a whisper at the end. Xipilli frowns as he listens to her "Why is Kyson trying to kill you?" he asks slightly confused and Amara shakes her he'd again "I'm not sure but...I think he wanted you to all think it was Kel.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) looks at Amara, shock on his face "Im.. sorry. I dont remember a thing of it. I remember falling asleep last night. And nothing until I woke up on the floor." he scratches his head. Jem wanders back through the corridor, catching the conversation and stopping in the doorway "If its Kyson, then he must know Keldon is our son." she whispers, her voice cracking slightly and barely louder than a whisper. "He’s done this before. Why do you think I want him dead? I cant stand it anymore."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara nods laying a hand on his arm "It wasn't you, I know you would never..." she stops as Jem walks into the room. Xipilli turns around and nods "You are not the only one with a death tag on Kyson, many others are the same...we may have to move against him more quickly than anticipated..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) smiles slightly, leaving in to kiss Amara’s cheek. Jem sighs slightly, watching them. They reminded her of herself and Creven, a lot. She nods at Xipilli. "Let me help. At least keep me occupied until Creven gets here. If he does." she runs her hand through her hair, biting her lip, worry crossing her face.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara smiles snuggling closer to Keldon. Xipilli nods looking over at Jem "Come with me, I'll take you to the training grounds..." he comments before standing up slightly too quickly.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) climbs on the bed next to Amara, laying his head on her shoulder. Jem raises an eyebrow at Xipilli "Training grounds? Xipilli, I can fight." she laughs, letting him lead the way.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara wraps both arms around Kel holding him tightly. Xipilli smiles at them before leading the way, out of the room and to the back of the mansion, across the lawn towards three very large wooden sheds the sounds of clinking swords coming from behind. "I know Jem, but my trainers could always do with extra help." he comments letting her walk in front of him. A large field lay in front of them, rows and rows of men in armour lined in front of two trainers before demonstrating different attack and defence positions.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden chuckles slightly as she waves bye to Kel and Amara. Following close to Xipilli, Jem stares at the scenery and her hearing picks up the battle training before she sees it "Sure, always happy to help out. Although Im used to fighting in my wolf form." she winks and leans on the fence to watch.

…..


  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - sighs and he continues to walk through a small bit of forest until finding his way back to the main road. Creven glances around before taking his fox form, three tails high in the air as he runs along the side of the road trying to pick up any family scents while also picking up some unfamiliar ones.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) chuckles to himself as he appears in the middle of some bushes. He stands up, brushing himself down “Well that went slightly better than expected" he says out loud as he glances round. He could sense something different. Frowning slightly, he turns on the spot, picking up the scent and following it, more cautiously than he would have before.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - freezes on the spot his senses on full alert a familiar and unfriendly scent found its way to him on the wind. Creven jumps into the nearest bush hiding in its depth listening and watching up the road.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) whistles a tune as he wanders up the twisting road. He grins to himself as he catches a scent "Oh look. A Kitsune. I wonder who that could be." he taunts "Come out and play." he laughs, coming to a stop in the road.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - slips back out of the bush in front of Kyson growling deeply as he fixes his eyes on him <Kyson, a pleasure to see you alive..> he comments his thoughts directed towards Kyson.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) raises his eyebrows, shaking his head "Creven. Pleasure to see you. Especially here." he smirks "Are you going to be in that form for the duration of the conversation, or are you going to be rude and stay like that?" he questions.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - laughs taking his human form and folding his arms across his chest "Well, Kyson, you'd know all about being rude." he comments tilting his head to the side "Having fun here, in the Levels?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) chuckles "Well rude is one way." he shrugs "I prefer the term verbally misunderstood" he winks, mimicking Creven’s stance "Oh Im more than enjoying it." he takes a breath inhaling deep before grinning "Where is she, Creven?" he snaps, taking a step towards him.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods "Well yes, with you that is true..." he comments before shaking his head "Some where you can't touch her." he remarks fixing his eyes onto Kyson.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) throws his head back "And who would you be referring to?" he raises an eyebrow, a look of intrigue on his face.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles "Well, I doubt Jessie is very safe just down the road here but by now Jem is far away from this Level and safe." he explains a smirk across his face "And I've found the person I've been greatly wanting to see since coming here."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) blinks a few times "Jem. Jessie. Oh how I wish I could have been there for that meeting." he chuckles “So. Have you seen your son yet?" his voice drops to a whisper "I have"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods and smiles "Yes I can imagine, you would have loved it." Creven replies before shaking his head "Keldon, no not yet, but I believe you are very familiar with him..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) shakes his head "Liked it? No. I would have encouraged it." he smirks "He is pretty dammed amazing. Shame he is too much like that vampire of yours." he scoffs, rolling his eyes. "Something that you wont have to worry about. Im sure his serving his punishment right now."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - takes a step towards Kyson, the violet in his eyes gleaming "Where is he Kyson, and what have you done to him?" he asks his voice deep "Actually, my old friend, I have a lot of unanswered questions for you."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) smirks, a laugh escaping his lips "What did I do?" he asks, looking at his hand, rather bordly "I did nothing. Your son though, well he might have some something bad. Very bad." he raises his eyes to glare at Creven "He might have accidently, and I use the word loosely of course, got a bit clumsy with a dagger around the pretty Amara’s neck. And with a vampire in the building." he claps his hand over his mouth, sarcastically gasping "Oh no. What are you going to do?" he laughs "Pathetic."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - laughs and shakes his head "One problem with you Kyson, you always underestimate me..." Creven smirks again unfolding his arms and quickly flicking Kysons nose "I know for a fact that Amara is in fact very much alive. Nice try though, getting into Kel's mind and controlling him."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) bats Creven’s hand away "Do that again and I will break it." he snarls before shaking his head "You lie. Creven, Dammit. Why do you always spoil my fun and games." he shakes his and turns round "Well, back to the drawing board I guess. Time for round two to be set in motion." he smirks and starts to walk away.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - places a hand on Kysons shoulder stopping him "What are you up to?" Creven asks walking around in front of him "Whats you plan here?" he adds.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) grabs Creven’s hand, gripping it tight "What on earth do you mean, dear Creven? Im not up to anything.” he grins "Im being a good boy." he laughs, doubling over "I cant even pretend to lie about it. Its just too funny." he stands back up, wiping an imaginary tear from his eye.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - pulls his hand out of Kyson's grip shaking his head "Then tell me Kyson, there are so many opportunities here and I have a lot of power over the Kitsune here, you of all people know my mother's royal heritage." he replies walking around in front of Kyson.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) sighs bordly "Yes I know. So are you using that line to get what you want round here?" Kyson shakes his head "Wow, Im almost proud of you for that."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - laughs and shrugs "Well I thought, you know what Creven, think like Kyson, he'd do well in a dark desperate place like this...and its worked!" Creven remarks with a smile
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) snorts with laughter "Oh if you wanted to think like me, then you should become me, Creven. And we both know you aren’t capable of that." he smirks evilly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - shakes his head agreeing "No, I'm too much of a decent person." he replies folding his arms again "So are we going to just stand here a talk or would you care to show me what you've been up to here..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) shakes his head, folding his arms again "Im not going to tell you why Im here. It would mean you stopping me. I will tell you one thing though." he adds with a sinister grin "I have something of yours in my new home, back in the other world. She has been there for a while now, feeling neglected by her family." Kyson watches Creven’s reaction.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - frowns ignoring his first comment "What do you mean?" Creven asks quickly, concern in his voice.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) chuckles and shakes his head "Now, Creven, where would be the fun in telling you. Im sure you are clever enough to work it out."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - freezes on the spot "Should I ask who then..." he replies "I'm sure by now you would have gotten bored of hurting my sister...so its Marriah," Creven takes a step towards him "If you've hurt her in any way your will pay for it." he growls.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) shakes his head "I will never get bored of hurting your sister. She’s so feisty. I love it." he rubs his hands together, nodding slowly, the smirk still on his face "Oh yes. Not very well guarded is she, wandering around. She was too easy to pick off the streets. Such a nice girl. Always willing to help a poor, little crying child." he laughs at the look on Creven’s face "Oh I havent hurt her. Yet. But that will come later. Its fun to just watch her almost wither away to nothing, the look as she realises no one is going to rescue her. So heartbreaking. Well, if I had a heart at least."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - glares at Kyson his eyes brighten even than before "Don't you dare talk about Lea like that." he replies before taking another step towards Kyson "Take her back to Lea, please... Kyson...why take her? what do you want?" he asks beginning to barging for his daughter.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) just laughs "Oh dear Creven. Is this where the parenting skills come in. she did put up a small fight, I must admit. She’s rather entertaining." he shakes his head, leaning forward to Creven "Well well. Are you begging me? Begging me to let her go?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - shakes his head "Don't talk about her like that." he adds quickly before nodding "Perhaps I am, my family are everything to me..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) stares at Creven "They are? Since when?" he laughs "You didnt even notice she was gone and she was gone before you came here." he laughs again, reaching out to wrap his hands round Creven’s throat "I wonder how long it will take that vampire wife of yours to come after me if I kill you right now?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - wraps his own hand around Kysons wrist "I...I wasn't near her at the time...other wise I would have noticed, I had to be away at the time!" he starts "Not that long, I'm probably more useful alive, or you would have killed me already."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) tightens his grip "Oh shame. Shame you had to be away isn’t it. Maybe she wont even miss you. Who knows." he kicks at Creven's shins "Maybe she never loved you." he shrugs "Maybe she asked me to kill you." he taunts some more. "You being dead is far more useful. I can do what I want with you out the way."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - grips Kysons wrist tighter his eyes shinning "Don't you dare..." he starts to warn wincing slightly "But I'm not the only one this time am I, you have Xipilli and the Opulens too--
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- killing me wont make any difference." he remarks before making direct key contact with Kyson sending him an intense flash of pain quickly blocking his own mind off, using his now full Kitsune capabilities.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) stares into Creven’s eyes "Oh I dare." he starts "<Xipilli and them lot dont scare me. They are pathetic. A whole army to try and take me out.> his voice sneers before he drops his hands and sinks to his knees, his hands covering his face as he writes round in pain for a few minutes.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - takes a few steps back massaging his neck "Not just you Kyson, you whole plan, all your people." Creven says walking around him "Oh I'm sorry did that hurt?" he asks with a smirk sending another mental wave of pain towards him. "You know Kyson, I quite like this, you on the floor at my feet."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) growls slightly as he sits up. He grabs for Creven’s legs, in an attempt to knock him off his feet "Creven, why do you have to play so dirty" he shrieks, as the second wave of pain hits him. "I wont be in this position long. Trust me on that." he snaps.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - shrugs walking around Kyson again "Just embracing my inner darkness Kyson, something I haven't seen for a while." he comments and smirks walking back in front of him "Well for now I'm going to enjoy it!" he comments sending another wave of pain, holding it for a few seconds.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) tries to stand up, crashing to the floor in pain, His body jolts about on the floor ^"Creven!" his voice whispers "What would your wife think if she could see this?" he tries to whisper "I can make her... feel what you are ... doing."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smirks again "Kyson, Kyson, Kyson...she would be proud, and probably slightly annoyed that its me and not her." he comments before raising his eyebrows "Really Kyson, stooping low now, blackmail..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) gasps for breath "Blackmail, Creven. Oh no." he laughs before coughing "All the times I have accessed her mind, without her realising." he watches Creven closely "I can make it so she gets whatever pain you deal to me."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - raises his eyebrows wondering if it was really true, a risk enough to take? he questions himself. Creven nods "So we will see..." he comments flashing another wave of pain towards Kyson, he would not be threatened.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) grins at the look on Creven’s face, knowing it was time to tap into Jem’s mind. Just in time, as another bolt of pain hit him, harder than he thought it would. He falls back to the floor, fighting for breath "Whatever you do... to me, Creven... She will get too." he hisses as he knew Jem would be in the same position he was in.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods stalking around Kyson again, not showing his weak side, feeling more like his owl self again, powerful."And I only have your word on that," he comments, another flash of--
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- pain before stopping for now and folding his arms again "So Kyson...where do we take this from here?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) stays laid on the floor, his eyes locking onto Creven, flashing him a view from inside Jem’s mind, showing Seb stood over her, trying to make sense of what was happening. "My word Creven." he screams "My word, or her point of view." he adds as Keldon appears in the doorway of the room.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - frowns placing a hand to his head watching the images in front of him "Kel.." he whispers seeing his son for the first time before shaking his head "So we're on even ground--
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- I dare you to make your next move." he taunts
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) laughs, sitting up "I can make her do whatever I want, Creven." he sneers, slowly standing up again "Would you like to see her kill Keldon, knowing you cant do anything to stop her?" he smirks "OR are you going to let me go. Those are your two options."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - takes a few steps back "And how do I know you won't run away and hide and do that anyway?! he asks unfolding his arms counting his limited options.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) laughs and shrugs "You dont. You just have to trust me. She is very useful to me. Maybe you should have taught her how to close her mind before you got here. Trust me there are worse than me in the Levels."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods "I'll believe that." he comments and truly did from what he'd seen of the levels. "So I just let you go then? and what happens to me?" Creven asks curiously
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) shrugs again "Just let me go, Creven? You wouldn’t do that. Not that simply. What have you got planned? he tilts his head slightly.

  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smirks and folds his arms "Nothing Kyson, you're just going to have to believe me on that." he comments watching him closely
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) stands up slowly, not taking his eyes from Creven "Im..." he takes a few steps back "this will be one of those until we meet again moments." he hisses.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods slowly not taking his eyes off Kyson "I shall look forward to the next time...just leave my wife and daughter alone." he comments sternly.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) nods, trying to look serious "As you wish." he states before disappearing into the trees, uttering "For now." under his breath.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - growls slightly hearings Kysons last words before taking his fox form again and begins running in the direction of the gateway before skidding to a stop and returning in the direction he had come, looking for the spot where Jessie had taken him to the small huts.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) runs back in the direction he had come, back to his dwelling, hidden in the trees. Bursting through the door, he slams it shut and leans against it "That was too close." he mutters.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - runs straight back to Jessie’s, couldn't quite believing what he was planning on doing. Creven finds her hut and runs in pushing the door open.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) jumps, sitting up quickly "Hello?" she calls out "Who’s there?" as she tries to adjust to the sudden light flooding the small hut.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - bounds up to Jessie before quickly taking his human form leaning over her "Are you in with Kyson and his lot or not?" he asks quickly his voice threatening.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) shrinks back, shaking slightly as she shakes her head "Im not. I promise." she stutters.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - sits on the edge of the bed next to her "I need your help...and your peoples help..." he says before looking back up at her again "A second chance Jessie, will you help?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) raises her eyebrows and shrugs "I know they wont. They dont want to be involved. But I will." she meets his eyes, smiling slightly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods and smiles "I'll pay you back for this, I promise..." he replies taking one of her hands "I need to either, get to the second level as quickly as possible or work out where Kyson is."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) shakes her head and laces her hand with his "I dont want to be anywhere near him." she whispers.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods "Neither do I but...he has my daughter and can control Jem...he's already tried killing Amara with Keldon..." he replies "You have to help me Jessie."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) shakes her head, snatching her hand away from him "No!" she snaps "I dont care for your family. Why should I? It should have been ours. Mine and yours, not hers."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - sighs "Jessie, please, do this for me.." he comments running a hand down her cheek "You still mean a lot to me, the first person I properly loved...please." he asks his voice--
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- almost dropping down to a plea.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) rolls her eyes "Creven..." she whispered, almost tensing on the spot as he touched her "Creven, I cant. He will kill me on sight." she bites her lip.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - shakes his head "Not with me around..." he replies "Jessie please...work with me and we can get rid of him, for good, from here from everywhere..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) stares up at him, hope in her eyes "Are you sure, Creven? I cant stand living like this. In pity, squalor. Its not me." she shivers "I feel like a sewer rat."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods "I know its not...Jessie what happened to you?" he asks looking into her eyes "I can get you out of here, as long as you work with me."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) scoffs "What happened to me?" she glares at him "Are you freaking serious Creven. You did! I thought you loved me, then you left me. To be with her! A stinking vampire!" Jessie sighs, wrapping her arms round herself "Then he found me, helped me. I heard him talking about someone who fitted your description. I knew it was you and I knew if I hung about with him longer, I would get to see you again. I didnt know to start with you were with her." she takes a deep breath before continuing "I didnt know what to do. He said you hurt him and he wanted payback. I was all for that, after loosing ..." she stops, staring at her feet, wondering why she was telling him all this right now. "I thought you would see me and remember the -times we had, fall in love with me again and ditch that wife. I would have took you back, started again." she tuts, staring out through the small hole in the wall she had made into a window "I was wrong. So wrong." she mutters under her breath. "I hate her. She stole you from me. So I stole something from her. The twins. They were rightfully mine." she adds, under her breath.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - shakes his head slightly "I'm sorry for what I did to you Jessie, I truly am, but I can't change any of that..."he sighs running a hand through his hair "But let me help you now to try to make things better for you."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) snorts and turns round to face him, her cheeks wet "Sorry? You aren’t sorry in the slightest. You use your sweet talk and charm to get work your way round people." she runs her hand through his fringe "Oh how I wish I had so me thing to cut this hair with." she snarls.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - bites his lip watching her, it was partly true what she had said but...he really was sorry. Creven chuckles slightly moving slightly closer "There’s nothing wrong with my fringe."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) laughs slightly, keeping her fingers twisted in his fringe "There isnt really." she murmurs, moving closer to him ”There’s nothing wrong with any of you, if I remember rightly."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles and laughs "Nor you, certainly not your image anyway..." he replies.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) shakes her head "Meaning what exactly?" she frowns slightly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - continues to smile "Just me paying you a compliment" he responds.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) smiles slightly, leaning closer to him "Im still not helping, you know." she whispers.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - rolls his eyes "Then just help me get across this level and tell me the quickest way across the next...or I'm going out and hunting Kyson down."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) rests her forehead against his "To the next level. Follow the main road, north for a few hours and you will come to a gate." she points in the direction "Please. Promise me you wont go after him, Creven." she begs him before she kisses him.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - keeps his head against hers "Thank you." softly kisses her back before pulling back, looking deeply into her eyes "I wish I could."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) grabs the front of his shirt "Creven. Please. He will kill you. I cant..." she stops, crashing her lips against his, kissing him deep.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - shakes his head moving backwards away from her "Jessie its the only way, I have to find him, work out what hes doing and kill him."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) shakes her head, furiously "Go then. Leave me here. Let him kill you. See if I care." she lets go of him and moves as far away y from him as she can "When he has killed you, you are going to hope he kills the rest of your family quick and painlessly. Trust me." she hisses "Now, leave me alone. Dont come near me again."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - sighs standing up again "No Jessie, I'm coming back from this alive...hes not...maybe we will meet again, when this is over, I will get you out of here." he comments softly stroking her hair on his way past, taking his fox form and running out the door again in the direction she had told him.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) shakes her head "Yeah, good luck with that." she mutters, slapping his hand away "Dont even look for me. Once I hear you are dead, Im leaving here for good." she watches him leave before standing up and slamming the door shut.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - keeps his head low running through the woods along the side of the path hoping he was making good time unsure how long it would take him. He was also hoping for no more interruptions

……………….
………….


 <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden falls to the floor, an ear piercing scream escaping her lips, the glass in her hand dropping to the floor
and smashing into millions of pieces, the red liquid inside slipping on the floor around her. Jem gasps for breath as she fights against a seemingly invisible force.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Seb runs across to Jem yelling for the others. Xipilli appears quickly "What is it?" he asks walking over to Jem but Seb shakes his head "I don't know!"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sits up, kisses Amaras cheek before he runs out the room. Jem’s scream fill the corridors, mainly due to the emptiness, but making the noise more eerily. Kel skids to a stop in the doorway as Jem stops screaming, just laid there gasping for breath.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara sits up quickly placing a hand to her head feeling dizzy. "JEM!" Omar yells are he comes running down the stairs and into the room "Jem!" he kneels next to her placing a hand on her back.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) moves out the doorway as Omar charges past him. Jem tries to sit up as the pain flows through her again, harder this time. Her screams louder, the pain almost unbearable. She tried to fight against it, every movement making it worse. Jem reaches out to grab Omar "O...Omar..." she managed to say between screams.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Omar wraps his arms around Jem holding her tight and looks up at Seb "Creven has found Kyson..." he comments "He's doing this to Kyson." he finishes turning his attention back to Jem. Seb nods but remains quiet and Xipilli moves slightly closer.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden )Kel) shakes his head and wanders back to Amara, deep in thought as he rejoins her on the bed. Jem shakes her head, sobbing hysterically "Creven? He’s doing this? Why does he want to hurt me?" she buries her face in her hands "He hates me. He really does hate me." she sniffs "He wants to kill me to be with her!"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Omar shakes his head "No Jem its not true...he's punishing Kyson thats all, he’s in a bad mood...a very bad one." he comments. Xipilli widens his eyes "You can tell that much from him?" he asks and Omar nods. - Amara looks up, lifting her head out of her hands as Keldon walks back in "Kel hun, is everything okay? Whats going on?" she asks watching him taking one of his hands.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden glances up at Omar, hurt and pain in her face "He's in a bad mood, and is hurting me through Kyson?" she whispers, confused as she wraps her arms round her legs, shaking. "What did I do to deserve this?" she glances at them all before realising none of them really knew her and rests her chin on her knees again. Kel sighs, shrugging slightly. "Something about Kyson and Jem’s husband. Im not really sure. I couldn’t follow it really and I couldn’t leave you alone. Are you ok?" he kisses her cheek.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Seb frowns slightly exchanging a look with Omar. "nothing Jem, he didnt believe Kyson about hurting you.." he begins to explain and Xipilli leans against the door frame watching them all intently. Amara smiles placing a hand on Kel’s chest "A bit better I guess...still fuzzy and...weak...I don't like it"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden whimpers slightly "I dont believe you" she stares blankly at the wall in front of her, her eyes tracing the pattern on the wallpaper, still shaking. Since they had hit the Vampire level, she had noticed a small change in Creven, even more so when Jessie had appeared. How stupid was she. Letting her husband go off alone with his ex, the one person who wanted her out of the way, probably so she could try and get her claws back into him. She lets out a snarl, her top lip curling back. Kel nods "You will do. Loss of blood and things, Amara. A few days rest and you will be back to normal."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Omar shuffles back slightly away from Jem looking up at Seb. "an interesting motion of events" Xipilli muses . Amara nods shuffling up against him "I wish everything was back to normal this talk of war, I don't like it...I just want to concentrate on you and me" she remarks leaning her head against his chest.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden takes a few deep breaths, running a shaky hand through her hair as she stands up and starts pacing the room. Kel smiles at Amara "You and me?" he repeats "I like the sound of that." he wraps an arm around her carefully, kissing the top of her head.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Omar and Seb stand still in their original positions just watching Jem, Xipilli being the first to break the silence. "Jem...Creven is doing what he has to for you and your family." he comments after reading everything going through Omar’s mind without him realising it, not keeping it as tightly unguarded as everything was happening, no doubt also sharing the information with Seb. Amara smiles leaning more of her weight against him "well it is a nice thought...and will hopefully be true after all this is over."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head at Xipilli "No. I dont think thats it at all." she glances up at Omar, briefly "He would have said something." she says, keeping her voice as quiet and calm as she possibly could as she keeps pacing "Why hasnt he come back?" she mutters "Why is he still with her." she murmurs.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Omar starts to say something then stops and Xipilli takes over "Kyson has your daughter, Marriah." he says straight to the point looking at Omar who nods before turning to Jem "I'm sorry but it's true, he has her somewhere at home...that's why Creven was attacking him, he's currently finding a way here, running to the gateway as we speak."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden stops mid step and slowly stares at Omar and Xipilli "What did you say" she leans against the wall, sinking to the floor "no.. no.." she cries "Marriah! Shes all alone." she looks at Omar "Is there anyway to get a message to Lea or someone?" and blinks "Hes on .. his way? Good. I need to have a word with him." she stands, excusing herself as she walks out the door, down the stairs and through the front door, heading to the gates where she sits and waits for her husband to appear.
<GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Omar shakes his head watching Jem "No, I'm sorry." he replies his voice quiet. They all watch her leave, letting her go alone. Xipilli turns to the others his eyebrows raised "Me and my men at arms will help where we can, but I cannot guarantee anyone’s safety of lives in this." he explains quickly Seb and Omar nodding.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden paces up and down infront of the gate, glancing up at it every so often as things move in the corner of her eyes. The wind through the trees were causing the leaves to blow slightly, making it look like someone was there.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Seb turns back to his book "So you think there will be war?" he asks and Xipilli nods walking over to him "Yes, for sure...What is this book you read and cherish so much?" he asks curious to know what it was. "Some form of guide to the Levels, a little out of date." seb replies with a smile and Xipilli looks slightly shocked "How...interesting." he comments with a slight smile.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden yawns slightly, multiple things running through her head. She stops pacing and sits on the grass at the side of the gate as she fights with herself over what she was going to say to Creven when, if, he came back. She sighs, resting her chin on her knees, her hair falling to one side, matted and dirty.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Seb glances up at Xipilli and nods "Thats what I thought, you’re mentioned in it...it quite a bit of detail too." Seb comments and Xipilli nods "Yes, I remember the time our last visitor came to the Levels and wrote that book..." he comments before turning and quickly walking out of the room leaving Omar and Seb to exchange a confused look.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) smiles slightly at Amara before closing his eyes, wrapping his arms tighter around her "Im not letting you go again." he mutters, kissing her cheek.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara smiles softly returning the kiss but on his lips "Nor I you." she adds smiling brightly up at him.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs, kissing her back "Go to sleep. You need your rest. Im not going anywhere. I promise." he chuckles.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara nods lying back down across the bed "Or turn into anyone your not supposed to be again." she comments watching him as she hugs the nearest pillow, more shaken up by the experience than she'd care to admit.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sighs and props himself up on h is elbow, watching her "Yeah. That too. Amara." he tips her chin up "Whatever he made me do, Im sorry." he whispers "I almost killed you. I couldn’t live with myself. Even if it wasnt me." he falters "You know what I mean. I hope."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara nods slightly smiling at him again, his eyes and mind the ones she recognised and loved so much. Amara thought about telling him about his attempt on the Opulens but wasn't sure if now was the right time, it could wait, but not for long...most of the Levels had heard about what he'd done or tried to do.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) rolls onto his stomach, nuzzling and kissing Amaras neck. He lays an arm over her "Tell me if you are in any pain." he whispers, sleepily.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara lets go of the pillow and instead snuggles against Keldon. She nods slightly "I will..." she whispers before softly closing her eyes, feeling the position of his arm around her, comforting her.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) drops off into a light sleep, a smile on his face for the first time in a while. Jem snaps her head up, hearing footsteps. Before looking, she shakes her head, knowing it wouldn't be him. There was too much noise. She rests her head back on her knees, wrapping her arms round her legs as she shuffles back until she was up against the wall. She let out a small giggle. This was a similar position she was in the first time they met. Jem shakes her head, cursing herself mentally as fresh tears roll down her cheeks..
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli searches through his office draws a selection of test tubes and equipment bubbling away on his desk. He shuts the draw before turning around to face a large cupboard; quickly he opens it beginning to search through the draws. He'd heard of the book before and about the man who had written it, glancing over Seb's shoulder he had read a lot about himself, too much in fact.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) waits until she can no longer hear Creven’s footsteps. She opens the door quietly,, slipping through it and closing it behind her. She knew that none of the idiots in the camp would care if she went missing for a while. Jessie pulls her hood up over her blonde hair and creeps through the shadows, in silence in the direction Creven had.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - stops for a bit of a breather after having run quickly and solidly for a while, he lays down panting, slightly annoyed with himself for being less out of shape than he had been. He glances around taking in his surroundings, still just able to make out the path, his only guide to going in the right direction.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) rounds the corner and half dives behind a tree as she spotted him lying down. Jessie peers round the tree, just watching him, waiting for him to continue. She wanted to know what was going on. She steps back behind the tree as he looks almost in her direction.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - glances behind him hearing a movement before shaking his head, now he was just being paranoid, but a familar scent drifted his was. Jessie appeared to be following him, no doubt to make sure he was keeping his word. it was fine by him for now.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) bites her lip, waiting to hear any movement. She knew he was a fast runner, in both human and Kitsune form. All Jessie had to do was stay on the path, keep to the shadows and stay silent. Well as silent as she could.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -glances around again before standing up and carrying on running, less quickly this time, hoping to make good time but not over do himself again.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) glances round the tree again, spotting Creven disappearing slowly into the distance. She rolls her eyes, not expecting him to be so fast as she runs after him but keeping to the shadows and the tree line.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -keeps his pace steady, surely it couldn't be that much further to the gateway. Creven was just hoping that Amara would have been able to secure passage for him into the next level. After that he just had to make his way through the third Level, a slightly overwhelming prospect.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) frowns slightly, wondering where Creven was going. She herself had only been out of the camp a few times, and this was as far as she has come before. She knew there were other clans about and she didnt want to meet any of them. She keeps her eyes forward.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - slows his pace slightly hearing voices up ahead, seeing lights through the dark. Creven glances towards it but continues on forward, towards the gateway.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) comes to a stop, the voices hitting her ears. She tilts her head, muttering under her breath and wanders out of the trees, slowly, just watching. She knew she wasnt going to be able to get past that gate into the next Level, but she was going to try.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -quickens his pace again and ten minuets later catching a far view of the gateway in the distance.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) bends over, exhausted, cursing Creven under her breath. She runs her hand through her hair, trying to work out how to get past the gate as she quickens her pace, keeping Creven in her sight.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - reaches the gate quickly and takes his human form. Creven takes a few deep breaths before knocking on the small door of the hut waiting for the gate keeper to appear.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) starts running again and skids to a stop just behind Creven, snaking an arm round him "Hey lovely. Why were you running so fast?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -jumps slightly glancing around behind himself "Jessie. What are you doing here?" he asks as the door opens and a man in armour steps forward.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) shrugs, grinning up at him "I had to make sure you weren’t going on some suicide mission or something." she laughs and glances at the man in the armour "Well hello, handsome." she purrs.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -shrugs slightly "Well I thought about it..." he comments before turning to the man "A group of people past through here early...Amara from the Xipilli Estate." he begins and the man nods "Yes, I have one passage through the gateway fro a Creven Calanon.”
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) raises her eyebrows and tuts slightly "Just the one passage?" she pouts "Are you sure? Can you double check?" Jessie asks, innocently.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley - The man nods and folds his arms, before raising his eye brows "I got payment for only one more....thats all!" he states bluntly. Creven frowns slightly, in one sense taking Jessie through could be a good idea, but then again, Jem would probably kill her.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) sighs and tightens her arm round Creven "Just.. just one?" she sighs, running her free hand through her hair "Go then. See if I care." she snaps suddenly at Creven "It wouldn’t work between us anyway. That wife of yours would just get in the way. I would probably end up killing her. " she shrugs, smirking.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - sighs and shakes his head looking back around at Jessie before turning back to the man. "How much would an extra passage cost?" he asks the man who folds his arms. "That depends on your Lady friends status." he comments looking from Jessie to Creven. Creven nods before kissing Jessie’s cheek "Well good Sir, I couldn't imagine going anywhere without my," he pauses winking at the man "good woman here." he finishes. The man in front nods looking from Jessie to Creven obviously trying to decide on whether Creven was telling the truth.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) Tilts her head, looking at the man, a smile on her face. She blushes bright red as Creven kisses her cheek, nodding at him "I couldnt let my man pass the gate without me." she lays her head on Creven, giving the man an innocent look.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles glancing down at Jessie before looking back up at the man, clearly human, with training to protect his mind, but his guards down due to Creven's story. The man nods then shakes his head before nodding again. Creven takes his chance thanks the man grabs Jessie's hand and quickly runs over to the gateway, stepping through quickly
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) watches the man and smiles, as Creven grabs her hand and drags her through the gate. She turns round briefly "Thank you" she calls over her shoulder, before looking up at Creven, confused "Why did you do that?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -shakes his head as he blinks stepping out into a forest. Creven glances down at her "I told you I'd get you out of there...I meant it Jessie..." he comments giving her a small smile.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) frowns slightly before looking around "But... Now I dont know what to do. Where to go.” she mutters "Well, I didnt think that through did I." she slowly looks up at Creven "Take me with you?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -starts to walk forward before blinking down at her "I can only take you so far, I'm not even sure how to get through the next gateway..." he explains looking around "Its dangerous where I'm going...you need a better life, I can try and find one for you."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) gasps slightly as she is dragged, still holding Creven’s hand "You... you were serious?" she asks, shocked that he would do something like that "After what I have done to you?" she stops, dropping her hand from his.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -nods and continues walking forward "Yes..." he comments carrying on. He glances over her shoulder at her "Yes Jessie...in confidence that you won't do anything like it again..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) wrinkles her nose, shrugging "I might. Its in my nature after all." she mutters "Im a killer, Creven. Remember that." she looks around her, taking in the scenery.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -nods and shrugs "As was I." he comments before continuing to press on forwards "We best not linger...I'm not even sure where we are, or how long this is going to take."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) laughs, looking at him "Was, Creven?" she folds her arms "Thats why I havent gotten married. It changes you." she grins "You couldn’t kill a fly now. Not without the consequences of that wife of your." she sneers.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -laughs and shakes his head "Oh no, I still kill, and have done recently...but not I have to have specific reasons, not reckless anymore."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) rolls her eyes "Keep talking, Creven. It doesn’t impress me like it used to." she sighs slightly. ”Remember the good days, Creven. Before you met her I mean."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -shrugs before continuing walking on "I do Jessie...but I'm older now...and have a whole race who looks up to me." he smiles glancing back at her but walks on "I'm royalty. Emperor of the Kitsune...by birth, the world it an odd place."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) runs after him as he walks further away "You're what!" she laughs, doubling over "Dont even make me laugh, Creven." she gasps for breath, wiping a mock tear from her eyes "Thats the funniest thing I have heard in such a long time. You, mister master assassin, Kitsune royalty."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -shrugs glancing over at her "My grandfather on my mothers side was the Emperor, I'm his only heir..." he explains with a quick smile.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) lets out a burst of laughter again "You're ... on your mothers side." she laughs "Oh, Creven. You always know how to make me laugh." she shakes her head, muttering "So funny."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -rolls his eyes and continues to walk on "Fine, don't believe me then." he comments before taking his fox form running around her in circles before bounding out in front slightly nose low, looking for any familiar scents.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) blinks, watching him run round her "Three?" she questions aloud as he runs on ahead. She runs to try and catch up with him "Slow down!" she yells.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -runs back to Jessie around her again before placing his nose to the ground running back and fourth. Creven stops slightly confused and sits down pawing the ground slightly, not able to find the scent of any of the others.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) watches him, frowning as she catches up with him "Whats wrong now? she sighs, not being able to understand his actions. "Human form and tell me." she orders.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -switches to his human form, sat on the floor. Creven frowns before standing up "Well...I can't find the scent of any of them...my link with Omar is, weak...I can't quite see how they travelled through here, I think they look a shortcut...somehow."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) jumps slightly as Creven turns human again "You.. cant find them? Does that mean they are ... dead?" she asks, her voice raising slightly, in hope.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -shakes his head "No, I'm still in partial contact with Omar...they are already with Xipilli...I'm just not sure how.."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) huffs slightly, rolling her eyes "Well, a girl can dream, cant she." she flashes him a grin, winking "And here was me thinking you had suddenly become available again." she pouts
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -rolls his eyes again before taking his fox form <I hope you can keep up> he comments directing his thoughts to Jessie before running off down the path, hopefully heading towards the gateway. The trees and plants of a deep forest on the edge of the winding path looking deep and dark.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) shrugs "Cant blame a girl for trying" she flashes him a grin and starts running after him, trying not to get to deterred by the dark path they were running down.



…………………..
…………………..

  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - wakes up glancing over at Keldon next to her. She smiles softly running a hand down his cheek before sitting up and watching him, soon she had to tell him everything which had happened with the Opulens.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) bats the hand away as he sleeps, grumbling, before turning over, pulling the covers over his head. His dreams were strange since everyone had turned up. A strange building, strange people, someone he thought he should know but didnt. They confused him.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - shakes his head and tries not to giggle watching Keldon sleep. Amara sighs slightly before standing up and walking across the room. Everything seemed to be happening so quickly, the impossible becoming the possible.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) gasps, sitting upright in bed, eyes closed as he runs a hand through his hair. Sweat dripped down his face as he tried to slow his breathing. Looking up and around slowly, it takes a few moments to realise where her was.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - walks quickly back over to Keldon laying a hand on his arm looking up at him, concern across her face "Kel hun, what is it?" Amara asks quickly watching him.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - walks quickly back over to Keldon laying a hand on his arm looking up at him, concern across her face "Kel hun, what is it?" Amara asks quickly watching him.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) slowly turns his head to look at the hand on him before calmly removing it, letting go to let it drop away from him "Dont... touch me." he snarls.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - shakes her head placing a hand back on him "No Kel...what just happened? what did you dream?"she asks not letting her eyes leave his face.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) snaps his head round to Amaras, growling slightly "I said DONT TOUCH ME!" he yells at her, shaking her hand off him and storming from the room to the bathroom, slamming the door behind him "why wont she listen? Why wont she leave me alone to deal with it. It was just a dream, nothing of it was real. A dream. That was all." he muttered as he stared at his reflection in the mirror. Kel tilts his head, his reflection mimicking him, a seemingly small knowing look on its face. Kel glares at it before punching it, shattering the glass all over the floor, cursing loudly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - frowns before banging on the bathroom door, they'd been through this before with his unusual dreams "Keldon please...what happened this time?" she yells through the door before pausing hearing the smash. Quickly she knocks again "Are you okay?" she yells again but softer this time.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs, the sound echoing and coming out slightly creepier than his normal laugh. He picks up the shards off the floor and yells at Amara "Dammit! What the hell don you get about the leave me alone!" he yells at her through the door and over her banging "Im fine and no Im not in the mood to discuss my dreams right now."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - rolls her eyes listening to him "Fine!" she yells back through letting him brood before returning and sitting back on the edge of the bed.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) scoffs slightly, muttering under his breath in a strange language even he didnt know. Blinking a few times he stands up and throws the glass into the bin and opens the door, leaning on the doorframe, stood in just pyjama bottoms, his eyes landing on Amara, slightly pain in his face.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - looks up and straight up at Keldon as he walks in, trying to prevent herself from smiling "You know these dreams scare me Kel..." she comments, she didn't understand them, and hated what they seemed to do to him.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sighs, nodding as he walks over to sit next to Amara, taking her hand in his slightly shaky one"I know. They scare me too." he looks up at her, stroking her cheek with his other hand "You know what happens to me when I have a bad one, like I just did. You need to stay away from me when I get like that. I dont want to hurt you again." he whispers.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods leaning into his hand and softly squeezing the other "I know Kel..." she whispers looking at him again "What happened this time?" she asks, her voice still low, part of her not wanting to really know.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) shudders slightly and shakes his head. He wasnt ready to share this one with her. Not yet. He needed to get his head round it. The fuzziness of the dream started to make shapes in his head.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods, deciding not to press matters for now. Kel, theres something I need to tell you about the Opulens," she starts before stopping wondering if now was a good time to tell him.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) raises his eyebrows at Amara, sensing she really wasnt sure if she should tell him "Its ok. Tell me. I wont hate you." he whispers, resting his head on her shoulder.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods before taking a deep breath "The first time you tried to...well...hurt me...it was because I was stopping you." she pauses quickly before continuing "From killing the Mighty of the Opulens."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) tilts his head, confused "I was doing what?" he whispered, confused "Why would I ..." he trailed off, trying to rack his brains for any reminder of that.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley . Amara nods "I don't think you we quite you at the time, but now everyone here thinks your a traitor working for the Kysons trying to overthrow the Opulens." she explains quickly watching his reaction "Kel, i want to know everything that Kyson and his lot have done or said over the last few weeks...we have to be able to stop them." she continues, her tone of voice determined.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sighs and scratches his head, frowning slightly "I dont... I cant..." he mutters, looking down at the floor "I dont remember much, Amara." he whispered, his voice cracking slightly.
Xipillo sighs looking down at the note in front of him. A raven softly nipping at his fingers. He sighs again grabbing a piece of paper on which he scribbles his reply before rolling it and tying it back into the leg of the raven which flies off, back out the window and into the night.
The situation was getting worse much worse. The letter had been informing Xipilli that one of the major farms had started a boycott against the Opulens refusing all their supporters food. This hasn't gone done well in the first level causing a major fight in the middle of the street. Five people had been killed and many injured before the authorities had stepped in and managed to calm the crowd. The rumors being spread were that Opulens sympathisers were planning on storming the farm and taking it by force. Xipilli sighs again sitting down and runs a hand through his hair.only this morning had he sent extra troops to help reinforce the Opulens castle and right now he faced a threat of his own. The letter had also warned that the loyalties of all estates on the second level were to be tested, Xipilli would rather the Opulens force reach then first compared to the Kysons but the gateway to the first level was also being blocked leaving the second level cut off, its only defenders those already in the level.
Quickly he stands and walks over to the other side of the room opening up the cupboard again, but one door over. With another sigh he flicks the mine evacuation switch, immediately causing red lights to flicker across the estate and sirens giving directions to those in the mine. In total his workers would have twenty minutes to evacuate, the chance to drop everything and run for their lives. He hoped even those deepest in the mines would be able to use the emergency lifts and get out on time as he moved his hand to the far right of all the switches. He hovered over the switch for a moment before pressing it down, the lights now flashing red then blue and a countdown of twentyfive minutes until the mines sealed themselves. Large steel doors, three meters deep would begin to slide in place sealing off all the mines and its treasures inside, safe from the outside. The factory machines would also begin to shut down, security double to normal would be protecting them and the workshops. All standard procedure in the event of an attack, but also something he had never wanted to do. Within the hour the Xipilli Estate would have completely locked and sealed itself, its workers turning into guards on the high walls on the look out for anything. Any abled men would be armed and placed into ranks while women and children either in the saftey bunkers or helping out where they could, mainly with cooking and in the event of an attack attending any wounded and helping to fix anything they could. Even now the estate doctors would be rallying together moving the normal overground hospital and medical center underground through a series of secret doors and tunnels.
The main manor would become the command post and stronghold as well as storage. Its main doors locked and reinforced secret exists would only be used by those who knew where they were, a secret so far kept by Xipilli, Lancaster and Amara. The secondary manor would then help to house people, being safer than their normal homes.its vast kitchens would also be opened along with the underground facilities. If in the event of a breach both manors could withstand an attack and be self providing for weeks, connected together by underground tunnels.
Xipilli calls for Lancaster as he returns to his desk waiting to talk through battle strategies with the head of his army.

Jem sighs again as she glances round her. Dusk had fallen and there was some kind of slight noise hitting her ears in the otherwise silent air.  She slowly stands up, eyes wide as she catches the lights flashing. She strains her ears and hears the cries and screams of the workers trying to flee the mines.  Jem takes a few steps closer to them and stops, turning her head at a crunching sound behind her. Her eyes widen and she runs to the gate screaming as she pounds on it as it seals. “NO!! NO YOU CANT!!! OPEN THE GATE!”  she screams, glancing over her shoulder at the manor. She snarls ferociously and runs towards the house, kicking the front door down and storming into the room where Xipilli was after picking up his aftershave. Slamming the door behind her, she walks slowly, trying to calm herself, as she reaches him “You.” she breathes “You need to open that gate, Xipilli.” her voice rises slightly “You HAVE to open that gate. Creven is coming back.” she hisses, her eyes black “You send your men to go find him! You cant lock him out! I need him.” She locks her eyes on the man in front of her, her face softening slightly “Please, Xipilli.” she whispers “Dont make me loose him like this.” A quick glance over her shoulders, Jem picks up a scent outside the room “Kel, leave us.” she yells. Kels footsteps disappear away from the door and Jem returns her attention to Xipilli, angry “OPEN THEM GATES” she screams at him, not blinking, not moving, not taking her eyes from his face, looking for any hint of a lie in the words he would speak.

Xipilli blinks as Jem walks in and listens to her as he folds his arms and leans back in his chair. "And when and if they appear they will be let in" he comments his face blank of all emotion, making sure he wasn't giving anything away. He sighs once before standing up, pouring himself a drink and taking a sip. "I've done what I've had to for the safety of my Estate and the people who live and work here, for the greater good...I am their Lord and Master, I have to protect them." He begins to explain taking another sip and taking his seat again. "The whole estate will be made battle ready incase we are attacked by Kyson's forces, I have to defend my land!" He states looking down at his desk at the letter he'd received from the Opulens. "We have been cut off from the First Level where our main support is...I will not let this estate fall into enemy hands or be destroyed! I will also stand using the Opulen's name, our right and true full Mighty." He continues pausing quickly to take another drink, "If Creven has got through into the Third Level it will take him days to cross it, nearing a week perhaps! My immediate attention has to be here now, soon ravens will stop flying from the Capital and I will lose all contact with everyone there, we will be on our own!" He finishes and drains the rest of the glass. Xipilli places it down in the middle of his desk before standing again and walking towards his door. "Excuse me Jem, but I have battle and security plans to begin implementing." He comments as he glances over at her from the door before stepping out and walking briskly down the corridor.
Jem scoffs, shaking her head "He better be let in, Xipilli. Or I will be hunting you down." she starts, watching him closely, frowning at the blank expression on his face "I dont care about how much I have said I will behave. When it comes to Creven I will do anything to make sure he is safe." Jem tilts her head, confused slightly "The whole estate? So thats what the alarms and things were for, the closing of the gates" She rolls her eyes, tutting "Nice, Xipilli. Do you just do these things to freak people out?" she snaps, watching as he walks out the room "Walk away, thats what I was expecting." she kicks his empty chair across the room before walking to the door herself, and trying to open it. Locked. Jem frowns and knocks on the door "Hello? Hello? Someone unlock the door! Im in here!" She yells, pounding on the door "Let me out!" She screams.
Xipilli shakes his head as he walks down he corridor hearing the door lock behind him and jems yelling, perhaps being locked in his office for a while would teach her not to insult or mock him. He snaps some orders at people approaching him before heading out onto the balcony leaning on the railings watching the estate burst into life everyone doing what they could to help. Xipilli becomes aware of a familiar presence behind him and smiles. "You should be resting Amara." He comments as she joins him at his side. "I've had a brush with death before and survived thanks to you, I can deal with it happening a second time..plus I didn't want to miss all this." She explains and motions around. "Quite something isn't it..." He replies his smile fading slightly "I won't let anyone take this place, and everyone of my people hurt or killed will be avenged Amara." The young girl nods watching him, but there was something else, something she had sensed in his mind which he was keeping quiet. Xipilli glances over at her sensing her in his mind "Dorian and Elijah Opulens idea..." He comments and she tilts her head to the side "the reps from the other world...they're trying to help from there?" She comments and Xipilli nods "if they can...not them exactly but someone else, someone who won't be spotted." He explains with a smile and Amara nods "Then lets hope it works." She adds before turning her attention to the grounds.
Jem punches the door a few times, screaming at the top of her lungs, not even making a dent in the door. She kicks it hard and paces the room, glancing out of the window, having the feeling in the pit of her stomach that her cries and screams were either ignored or not even heard. Kicking her way round the small room, Jem scowls, muttering under her breath as she tries the door once more, just in case. After a few minutes of pulling, pushing and twisting the handle, she gives up, leaning against the wall and sliding down it. She shakes her head "Well at least I cant get into trouble i n here." she mutters, burying her face in her hands as she tries to concentrate, in an attempt to send a message to her husband.

……………………………………………………


  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - glances back over his shoulder his fox eyes glimmering. Creven rolls his eyes at her before turning back forward and running quickly jumping over holes in the road and avoiding anything in his path, his aim to get through as quickly as possible, or at least try to.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) shakes her head, laughing "You dont have to show off for me Creven, you know." she calls out to him, as she tries to keep up "You dont have to go so fast either, love." she adds.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - slows his pace slightly looking up at her at his side <Well, we need to get there as quick as possible...> he thinks over to her.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) nods, slowing down to match Creven’s pace "Sure thing, but, wow. You got fast." she nudges him, grinning "What happened to you? You're fox seems .. different."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods fixing his eyes back in front of him <I'm fully Kitsune...some thing with sealing ley lines, dying and being brought back> he explains glancing back up at her again.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) raises her eyebrows "Fully?" she questions, frowning "And yet your mind decided that a vampire like her was better than me?" she laughs slightly, shaking her head in disbelief.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - growls deeply quickening his pace again <It made no difference.>
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) sets off at a slight jog to keep up "It made all the difference, Creven and you know it bloody did." she snorts "We were fine before I sent you out to kill her."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - keeps his pace glancing up at her again <Well then, technically you were the one who introduced us, I should be thanking you really.> he comments smiling inside before skidding to a stop and sniffing around before raising the fur on the back of his neck staring ahead.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) laughs "She was just a stupid simple human then, Creven. You weren’t supposed to do anything but kill her for me." she snorts, coming to a stop just behind him "What? Did I hurt your feelings?" she taunts.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - shakes his head as he takes his human form grabbing Jessie's arm "No, but..." he shakes his head again "Theres a familiar scent, but one which should be here..." he comments glancing over at Jessie before walking to the edge of the path.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) jumps slightly as Creven takes on his human form "Ow. Not so tight." she complains, smirking "If you wanted to hold my hand, you dont need to ask." she laughs "Who is it?"
 <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - ignores Jessie's jibes and tilts his head to the side a frown appearing on his face "Its my sister's, Lea's...but theres no way she can be here." he comments trying to make it all make sense.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) scowls and tries to free her arm from his grip "Lea? Great. Whats she doing here." she sneers glancing round "Alone or..?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - shakes his head "No Jessie, shes not here, not near anyway, the scent is about a day old or so...and only here in this section of path." he explains before starting to search through the nearest bush.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden scowls more and wrinkles her nose, watching Creven "Are you going to let go of me, or are you going to drag me on your bush search?" she snaps "Not that I would complain. You used to enjoy that." she chuckles "Oh they were some fun times" she grins.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles slightly looking back up at her "You are true..." he comments letting go of her before returning back to his search. Stopping he pulls out a small delicate and highly jewelled box, a gleaming crystal set in the middle "Any ideas dear Jessie?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) winks at him, grinning "See, I knew you wouldnt be able to forget the things we did." she purrs, taking a step towards him, her eyes flicking down to the box in his hands. She shrugs "No, Creven. Why would I have any ideas? Its just a box. Maybe a jewellery one."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - frowns as he stares down at it. Creven looks back up at her and smiles "I haven't forgotten anything dear Jessie, I never will." he comments before knowingly linking an arm with her and opening the box, a soft wind forming around them before their location seeming to blur before reappearing on the edge of a forest looking down a drive way towards a large set of highly decorated gates. Creven laughs slightly "Its a form of port key!" he remarks looking at the box before up staring at the gates and white wall "Any idea where we are?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) watches him, about to slam the lid back shut but finding herself slightly frozen on the spot as the wind surrounds them. Jessie closes her eyes, hoping they weren’t being transported to him. Jessie opens her eyes at Creven’s laugh and glances round "Wow. A transportation device." she mutters, shaking her head "I haven't a clue where we are. Why would I? I havent been off the other level before now." she continues as she stares at the gates.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods tucking the box into his pocket before walking up to the wall and looking down it "This place is huge, where ever we are..." he comments before looking up a person ducking out of sight, a large horn being sounded. Creven walks over to the gates glancing back at Jessie "This could get interesting, if I say run, then make sure you run."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) glances around, gripping Creven tight as the loud horn is sounded "Whats going on? Creven, where the hell are we?" she mutters, nodding in reply to his question, keeping her eyes fixed on the gates as if they would open if she willed them to.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - shakes his head "I'm hoping to find out." he comments as someone appears at the top of the wall "This is the Xipilli Estate! state your names and intentions!" an armed and armoured guard yells down to them. Creven smiles looking at the man "My name is Creven Calanon!" he yells back up and the man nods "Creven? I umm...just a minute please sir!" the man calls back before disappearing.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) stares at the man and takes a step closer to Creven, tilting her head as she takes a small breath "He isnt human." she mutters as he starts to talk. Jessie glances from the man to Creven briefly, confused "In fact, I cant smell anything human round here." she adds.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - blinks looking at Jessie "What do you mean, what do you smell then?" he asks keeping his eyes on her waiting for the man to return.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) shrugs slightly "I smell another vampire. That would be that wife of yours, I assume. Some form of Kitsune. I know thats Kel. Then there’s the two handsome men you were with. I smell them too." she adds "But I hear heartbeats of a lot of people. They are fast. I think they are scared of something." she shrugs, tapping her foot bordly "Not sure what of though. Im not a mind reader." she smirks.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods before shaking his head "There’s something blocking me being able to read anything from beyond that wall." he comments as the gates open slightly and the man walks out "Mr Calanon and friend, can you follow me please." he comments turning and motioning them to walk through the gates. Creven nods and follows widening his eyes at the view inside. The grounds, the manor and the amount of people moving around.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) jumps again at the voice and nods, following Creven. Her eyes widen as she takes in the view "Wow, this place is so much better than where I have been." she gasps, before noticing the people "See." she nudges Creven "People. Scared." she boasts "Can I read them or what!"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Lancaster) - walks next to Jessie and nods "Well what do you expect, we are on the verge of war." he explains before turning to Creven "Lord Xipilli wants to talk with you immediately Mr Calanon." Lancaster explains leading them up to the house.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) rolls here eyes "War. Everything’s war." she complains, grumbling louder than she meant to. She diverts her attention to the house they were walking up to, taking in its size and smirking as she glances over at Creven. It looked like the house of someone she knew a long time ago. Jessie giggles out loud as she remembers one particular party they had attended.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods listening to Lancaster as he follows him "What about my wife, Jem and the others?" he asks but Lancaster waves his hand "Xipilli first." he states leading them around to the back of the manor, two people now stood on the lawn watching out over a line of people coming and going from the first manor to a slightly smaller one behind. A young woman very familiar to Creven, then a man probably around Creven’s age, his eyes and hair an identical colour to Amara's. The man steps forward and offers his hand to Creven "Creven Calanon, welcome to the Xipilli Estate, my estate, I believe you already know Amara here." he comments with a flash of a smile. Amara smiles at Creven before glaring at Jessie "Welcome Creven...and Jessie, I have to say, I am surprised."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) follows, her eyes taking in the scenery as they walk. Her eyes land on Amara and she freezes, scowling at her "Amara" she states, rather snobbishly, laying her hand on Creven as she glances over to the young man shaking Crevens hand.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods "Xipilli, its a pleasure to finally meet you...Amara, Jessie helped me, I owe her." he comments turning his attention from Xipilli to Amara. Xipilli lays a hand on Amara fixing his eyes on Jessie "Welcome Jessie," he comments with a smile offering her his hand "I've heard a small bit about you." he continues keeping his eyes on her. Amara coughs "Not that I want to disturb you Pilli, but we have business to discuss."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) blinks, rather surprised at her welcome. She shakes Xipilli’s hand "Nice to meet you too. I have heard a lot about you." she states, throwing a rude glare at Amara. "Nice place you have here." she glances round.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - tightens his grip on her hand and pulls Jessie slightly towards him fixing his eyes on hers "Interesting." he comments before letting go "Thank you Jessie..." he replies to her before nodding towards Amara "Naturally...please walk with us Creven." he explains and starts to walk around. "We have been completely blocked off from all the Levels, the box you...well--
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley -- found is the only way to travel between the Levels, we had help getting it there before they were blocked." Amara explains and Creven nods "I smelt my sisters scent, but thats not possible is it?" he asks and Xipilli smiles "A lovely girl she is too, pretty and clever...but bored of just healing..."he comments glancing from Creven back to Jessie <Through I prefer blondes> he thinks across to her with a smile. "Wait, you've met her?" he remarks stopping in his place.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) follows, slightly behind, watching the back of their heads. She notes the looks Xipilli gives Creven before he glances back at her. She shudders slightly, curling up her lip at him. He was slightly creepy, not as much as Kyson was though. She shakes her head, returning her eyes to Creven, smiling before lowering her head.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - nods looking back at Creven "Yes through a mutual friend of yours, Dorian Opulens..." he explains and Creven nods "I don't understand...Dorian? and how can she be here?" he asks but Xipilli shakes his head "Its a lot to explain, Lea has been here, through the only portal into your world, I didn't even know it existed until a few days ago...Lea is helping as she wont be recognised here, it works well..." he explains but refrains from going into too much detail. Creven nods slightly listening to him "So, wheres your place in all this?" he asks looking at Xipilli "To make sure the Opulens don't fall, we are their major force here in the Second Level...I have to say this Creven, but you do look like Kel."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) frowns "Xipilli... what was so interesting about me back there, when you shook my hand and all that?" she questions, interrupting the conversation. She glances up at him, stopping in her tracks, barely listening to the exchange between the to men. "See" she stares at Creven "Told you he reminded me of you." she winks.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - smiles down at Jessie "Working out what had gone on between you and my," he stops quickly changing his words "Between you and Kel...and whether you can be trusted." he explains looking away from her again and back to Creven. "Eventually it will all make sense Creven." Amara comments smiling at Xipilli "Excuse me, I need to go and find my financee." she comments before smirking to Jessie and walking back towards the manor. Creven nods watching her go "Half of this doesn't make any sense..." he comments and Xipilli laughs "Welcome to the levels, making the impossible, possible...."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) grins at Xipilli "And what was your conclusion?" she folds her arms across her chest, almost defiantly , glaring back at Amara out the corner of her eye, letting out a small warning growl as she watches Amara leave, laughing to herself. Jessie tilts her head slightly "Oh, aren’t we missing someone? Where’s the little wifey, Creven?" she grins, watching Xipilli. She had caught some of his thoughts as he stared into her eyes, and was now fighting back a fit of hysterical giggles.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - smiles at Jessie again "That you are a good liar" he comments before sighing "Locked in my office at the moment." he states looking over at Creven who blinks running a hand through his fringe. "Right...sorry where?" he comments looking up at Xipilli "Keeping out of trouble.."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) grins at Xipilli, winking "Not a lie as such. More a laugh at her expense." she laughs "She needs a sense of humour is all." Jessie shrugs, grinning still before looking over at Creven "I know where." she says in a sing song voice "Oh I want to go let her out, to see the look on her face when she sees me." Jessie shoves her hands in her pockets, the grin not leaving her face.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - deepens his gaze looking back at Jessie "Do not offend Amara...she is very dear to me, you offend her, you offend me." he explains his voice sharp. Creven glances at Jessie "You should probably stay away from her..." he comments "I got you out of there to start a new life, not fight with Jem..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) stares open mouthed at Xipilli and then at Creven "What! I cant even have a tiny bit of fun?" she pouts, shaking her head "I will leave them alone if they leave me alone." she mutters under her breath, slightly disappointed that she couldn’t have any fun. She has a few tricks up her sleeve. She could do a few Kitsune tricks that Kyson had taught her. Jessie smirks to herself.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - shakes his head "Everyone on this Estate is under my protection, that includes Creven's wife." he states bluntly. Creven nods his appreciation towards Xipilli with a smile "So war is brewing?" he comments and the man nods "I won't be long before Kyson strikes..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) looks over at the house and nudges Creven before waving at a window "I see the wifey"  she calls out in a sing song voice before stopping and looking at the pair of them "War? Kyson? Why is it those words together are the only words that freak me out?" she grumbles.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - looks up to the window and sighs, he would have a lot of explaining to do. Xipilli nods "Me the same, but we can protect ourselves here, we will defeat him." Xipilli remarks glancing over to the door.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) grins and links her arm with Creven "Shes going to kill us both." she laughs, watching the figure in the window banging on the glass though there was no sound before it disappeared. Jessie giggles, watching "Ooh, someone got feisty. Overprotective much?"
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - sighs again watching the window. Xipilli laughs "You wouldn't believe it, she has no idea how things around here work..." he explains and Creven frowns "Xipilli that is my wife you are talking about, Keldon's mother." he comments and Xipilli nods "Oh I know, but Kel has been more of my son than yours so far...and I apologise about your wife, but I have a bad history with vampires."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) laughs and drops her arm from Creven’s, moving closer to Xipilli "I like the way you think about her." she states, stopping just in front of him "Bad history with them?" she questions, taking a quick step back from him, biting her lip.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - frowns slightly listening to them before looking up at the window. Xipilli smiles at Jessie "One of them killed my wife...they are unpredictable, unruly, too emotional, snap easily unsafe for the public, I keep them far away from my workers and estate, the Opulens are the only ones I'll have anything to do with...but they resist the chaotic vampires within themselves and use the power it gives them to a better use, they also refrain from drinking blood and turning others." he explains fixing his eyes on the woman in front of him.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) growls slightly "Well I find that rather rude and a personal attack, Xipilli." she starts, folding her arms across her chest. "Not to me of course. To some of the others." she smirks "Im all of the above. Im not a nice person at all." she winks at him "Ask him. Im sure he will gladly tell you." she nods at Creven, keeping her eyes on Xipilli.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - nods "Oh I know Jessie, I can see it all in your mind...I've seen it in Kel's and Amara's too." he comments folding his arms mimicking her "but this is my Estate, my rules." he finishes with another flash of a smile before walking back towards the manor. Creven follows still trying to process everything. As they enter a guard on one side signals another and begins to wind across a large steel door, sealing the doorway to the outside.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) laughs, shaking her head, following Xipilli, almost forgetting Creven was there "Stay out of my head, if you dont mind." she mutters, glancing up at him "What you going to do if I break a rule, Xipilli? Lock me in a room too?" she grins, glancing behind her as the door seals.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - smiles looking down at her "Why? its such an interesting place, and you have such a pretty face" he comments stopping to turn to face her placing a hand on her left cheek "Oh thats simple." he replies turning her head to face him again "I'll kill you." he finishes before continuing on walking pushing Creven in front of him into a room with Seb and Omar before Xipilli himself starts to ascend the stairs winking at Jessie.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) freezes on the spot at Xipilli lays his hand on her cheek, blushing slightly "Flattery gets you everywhere with me." she whispers, grinning as he walks away. She stares after him, tilting her head slightly for a few minutes before following them into the room, giggling slightly as he winks at her, returning the wink as she stops, taking in the room she had just stepped into. Her eyes flick from Seb to Omar to Creven before landing again on Xipilli, or rather the back of his head.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley - Seb and Omar wrap their arms around Creven exchanging a happy greeting before staring at Jessie. Creven coughs turning to her glancing up the stairs "Follow him, I need to talk to Seb and Omar, alone." he comments before ushering her out and closing the door.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) rolls her eyes slightly at the exchange, sighing and turning on her heels "Yes boss." she snaps, giving Creven a mock salute as she is ushered out the room "Rude." she mutters as she trudges up the stairs after Xipilli "Where are we going?" she questions as she catches him up.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - smiles wrapping an arm around her shoulders "Well, I have a few ideas, most of which you may not agree with." he says playfully turning the landing and walking up the second set of stairs then another two to reach the top floor. Xipilli opens the first door on his right motioning her in, a small sitting room positioned at the back of the manor, full length windows looking out over the manor. "So, you really don't know what Kyson is planning?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) raises an eyebrow, shrugging as she wraps an arm round his waist as they walk. Well, when in Rome, she grins "Xipilli, I dont agree with a lot of things people do or say." she laughs as she moves her arm from round him and walks into the room, letting out a gasp as she heads right to the window, shaking her head "No. I havent a clue. I have been in hiding from him for a long time now. I want nothing more to do with him." she glances at Xipilli over her shoulder, flashing him a smile.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - nods walking over to her "Impressive isn't it, my empire...you can even see the entrances to the mines from here, although on lockdown now...I don't want war Jessie its bad for my business...so I'll protect it until every wall falls, every brick is torn down, it will not be taken. Kyson will want my power and loyalty, both of which I don't intend to give to him, he has no right."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) nods slowly before turning round to reply and finding him stood right behind her. Jessie smiles slightly, feeling her face burning "I know. Trust me, if I knew anything I would tell you." she bites her lip slowly, her eyes falling to the floor slowly as she takes in his appearance at the same time, licking her lips slowly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - nods taking another step towards her "Good...I have higher ambitions after winning this than some of the others may realise, but you know what the Levels are like, this presents me with a great opportunity..." he comments before running a hand through her hair. "I just have to play my cards right...especially around Jem, she asks the wrong questions, gives me looks I don't appreciate yet doesn’t realise right now my walls are the only things keeping her alive." he comments his voice slightly softer than before.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) blinks, snapping her head up, a look of confusion on her face as she nods "I dont get..."she stops, falling over her words, his hands in her hair throwing her off her mark slightly ”I dont understand why you would think I would know anything." she whispers before tutting "She has that problem. Asking too many questions. The wrong ones. It will get her killed one-day in a way that she cant come back. And Im waiting for that day." she grins, laying her hand on his.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - nods and smiles slightly "But that day is not yet...for now we need to all be on the same side..."he comments smiling at her again.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) sighs dramatically "I suppose so. For now at least. Well I can fake it long enough." she smiles back up at him.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - nods softly placing his lips against her forehead "Good." he comments softly before smiling again.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) closes her eyes for a split second "Xipilli..." she mutters "I thought you hated vampires?"
   <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - nods taking a step back "Oh I do..." he comments before smiling "But you're not like normal vampires."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) raises an eyebrow as he steps back "Are you sure you read my mind properly?" she smirks slightly "Im worse." she takes a step closer to him.
<GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - nods again placing a hand at her throat "But you and I need each other right now...you need my protection from Kyson and I need to know his mind works and how Creven's mind works..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) gasps, wrapping her hands round his wrists, shaking her head "I dont know. I really dont." she cries "I promise."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - tightens his hand slightly before releasing her "I hope you're telling me the truth." he comments before walking back towards the door "You can use this room as your own."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) widens her eyes as his hand tightens before she falls to the floor, coughing and rubbing her throat "And there was me thinking you were a nice guy." she spits at him "Wrong again, as usual." she coughs again."
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - shakes his head walking back towards her offering her a hand "Vampires killed my wife Jessie, you remind me of her, yet you're one of them..." he comments a sadness in his eyes.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) hisses and moves back from him, staying on the floor "Stay away from me." she warns "Im sick of being used all the time for one thing or another. First in my human life, then with Kyson. Now you. The only decent guy was Creven and he chose HER!" she yells, coming to a stop as she hits the wall.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - shakes his head "I'm not like either of them...I'm just making sure youre not on the other side of this! I need support Jessie, I was testing your loyalty..." he comments "You are a strong woman, who has been used and you don't deserve it...at all..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) scoffs "You are! You're just like the rest of them. Why cant you ASK me rather than hurt me to test me?" she wraps her arms round herself, rocking slightly.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - shakes his head "Because I can't trust vampires..." he comments before shaking his head again and walking towards the door.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Jessie) glares after him "And I cant trust you now." she mutters, not moving from the spot on the floor but keeping her eyes on him warily.
  <GRY> Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - nods bowing slightly in her direction "Then we are equal." he comments before walking out.

  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden paces the small room for what seemed like hours, running her hand through her hair frequently, muttering under her breath, even trying the door again on a few occasions just in case. She curses loudly, yelling at Xipilli over and over, begging for someone to help her out. After a few hours of this, Jem sighs and gives up, taking a seat in the chair behind the desk and kicking  her feet up onto the large oak desk in front of her. She catches movement out the corner of her eyes and turns her head, a familiar head of hair getting her attention "What the hell is she doing here?" she screams, jumping up and banging on the window, screaming at the top of her lungs for Jessie to take her hands off her husband or she would rip them from her skanky arms for free. Catching Jessie’s eyes, Jem snarls at the wave, the pointing and laughing only riling her up even more. Jem’s eyes shift to her husband and she stops banging, folding her arms across her chest. The look on her face was on of disgust as her eyes narrow as they glare at him. Jem walks as calmly as she can away from the window "She’s dead. And he is in trouble." she mutters under her breath as she sits back in the chair, her feet back up on the table as she turns her back on the window.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - sighs standing outside his office door. He unlocks it and steps inside "Jem?" he asks walking over to her.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden raises an eyebrow, not moving from the chair as Xipilli walks in "Oh, Xipilli. Remembered Im here have you. So nice to see you." she says sarcastically.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - nods walking over to his desk, he sits down behind it "Never forgot." he comments.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden rolls her eyes "Sure sure. So am I free to go then or are you here to lecture me about my attitude?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - shakes his head before leaning it into his hands "go if you wish..." he comments quietly.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden pretends to think for a moment "Oh I dont k now Xipilli. Its comfy here. But on the other hand, I would like to have a nice chat with Jessica as well as my husband." she folds her arms across her chest, a slight smirk on her face.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - looks back up at Jem the colours in his eyes swirling "Do what you think is best." he snaps back.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden laughs and moves her feet off the table "Oh I think I will, Xipilli. I think I will." she snaps back as she stands up.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - nods waving his hand towards the door "Jessie is on the top floor, first door on the right...Creven is downstairs with Seb and Omar.." he comments before looking back down at his desk.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden scoffs and walks out the door "Thanks for your help, Xipilli. The time I have spent in here has given me time to think a few things over, like what Im going to say to both of them." she calls over her shoulder, slamming the door shut behind her and walking down the stairs.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - sighs watching her leave before flicking through the papers on his desk, he had a lot more to worry about than other peoples relationships, like a meeting he was supposed to attend a few hours ago, he was hoping it was going well without him.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden reaches the door and goes to open it, taking a deep breath as she opens it and walks inside. She closes the door behind her, not speaking a word as she leans against it, her eyes flashing from blue to black as she glances at Seb and Omar "Hey guys. So Xipilli let me out the room, finally." she grumbles, flicking her hair from her eyes "Five more minutes and I would have gone crazy." her eyes flick to Creven briefly before she looks away, disgusted.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Seb and Omar glance at each other before nodding slightly. Creven runs a hand through his hair before taking a step towards Jem "I need to explain a few things to you." he comments.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head "I have something to explain to you too." she lifts her head up, staring at him.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven nods and smiles slightly "Then please go ahead..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden narrows her eyes at him "What the hell do you think you are playing at." she says, her voice calm yet shaky "Leaving me with no clue whats happening as you go off with her. I wouldnt be so mad at you if it were anyone else. But no, it had to be her didnt it." she takes a breath and coughs "Oh my god, Creven what doid you do? I can smell her all over you." Jem unfolds her arms and runs a hand through her hair "Bet you didnt yell at her for wanting your attention all the time did you? No, course not." she continues without pausing or letting her eyes leave him "Its Jessie. Shes special. Shes something alright. Special isnt the word. A mess that needs dealing with is what she will be when I get my hands on her. And shes next on my visiting list." she says, her voice still surprisingly calm "I dont know why I didnt stop you from leaving with her. No goodbye or anything. Nice way to make your wife feel like she is the most important person in your life, Creven." she stops and glances over at Seb and Omar before looking back at Creven "I hate you sometimes." she mutters.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven holds his hands up in the air, his eyes fixed on Jem "Oh it's fine Jem, your welcome, of course I'll stay behind again next time hoping to you a better chance of reaching safety while I risk my life again trying to find out important information and try to improve our chances of success here." he comments lowering his arms and folding them across his chest. "For facing our foes head on, or trying to anyway...and don't you dare say anything bad about Jessie..." he comments before taking a step towards her "At least she never lied to me, ever," he- continues glancing quickly at Seb and Omar who were staying well out of the way "Tell me Jem, how long we're you working for Kyson and what did you do for him?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head, smirking slightly "Oh Creven, there you go again, defending her. Maybe you should have married her instead." she starts and quickly stops "Oh I better not put any ideas into your head, had I, love." she scoffs "I did one job for him, Creven. It was that or he killed the kids. I put the family first, as usual. Something you dont seem to do anymore." she glances at him, head to foot and back up to his face "We were here to rescue Keldon, Creven, and then go home. And guess what. Theres Keldon and we're still here. Oh and then theres Kyson again. And what a shock, a war. We always seem to land in something." she lowers her eyes quickly as a few tears fall "And you just went off with her..." she whispers.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven laughs fixing his eyes on her again "How dare you say that, I do everything possible I can for the family" he states bluntly before shaking his head and motioning around "and do you really think he's going to leave with us, just like that! For gods sake Jem, he doesn't know us, he doesn't care...Xipilli is way more of a father to Keldon than I am, I'm his blood that's it and yes there's a war going on...but if you're not happy with it I can arrange passage back to our world for you, but I'm staying here until its over, I will not let Kyson terrorise another group of innocent people!" he explains, his voice growing louder, eyes brighter.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden stares at the floor "Doesn’t stop you hurting me though does it." she mutters "Smacking me, yelling at me like you do." she sighs "I knew it was going to be hard but..." she sinks to the floor "I dont want him even alive, Creven! He keeps coming back! And no, Im not going home on my own. Im not leaving you here while I wait for you to come back. If you do." she paused, shaking her head at the thought "Keldon. Yeah I guessed he wont come willingly. Xipilli has a hell of a lot to answer for about that too." she rests her chin on her knees, letting out a small sigh "If theres going to be a war, Im not getting left out of it." she states.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven kneels down in front of her placing a hand on her knee "sweet Jem, this was never going to go the way we wanted it too, to find our new born child just like that...Don't blame Xipilli he's only doing. What he knows, what's the norm for this twisted place." he explains with a sigh "I never mean to hurt you, ever...it tears at me inside when I do, I don't know how you put up with it somedays...but I will always have these rouge moments, moments where I let my emotion and temper get the better of me, I try to keep the ways of my past hidden but it's not always easy....I don't want you to get hurt in this, we're all already in too deep...Dorian and Lea are also involved..." he comments his voice slightly softening.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden looks up at him, her eyes softening, the black disappearing completely. She nods "I know. I was hoping it would be easy. Nothing ever is for us is it." she mutters, running her hand down his cheek "I put up with it, as you put it, because I love you so much" she sighs, a small smile on her lips "I was hurting earlier. Omar said you were using your illusions on Kyson but I was in pain. I though you were trying to kill me. I thought you hated me. Then I see you with her and I thought..." she stops and shakes her head "How can I be cross at you. I tell you to go back to your past ways and I know now you are going to be different. Its just going to take some time for me to get used to it." she raises her eyebrows at him "Lea and Dorian?" she questions, her hand still on his cheek, showing him how Xipilli had locked her in his office "How? and why?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven nods in agreement before shaking his head "It was Kyson I was hurting, he has our Marr, then he turned it somehow onto you, I thought he was playing me at first." he replies leaning slightly into her hand "I love you Jem, more than you know," he whispers looking into her eyes watching her memories a slight frown crossing his face "They're here, in the Levels, Xipilli has met My sister and her scent lead me to a transportation device which brought me here....but I don't fully understand it all myself." he replies before wrapping his arms around her.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden blinks a few times "He has Marr?" she mutters, shaking her head "And shes all alone. Creven" she stares into his eyes "Shes going to be so scared." she whispers, tears rolling down her cheeks "How much of a bad mother am I? Leaving our other children alone to come rescue Kel?" she shakes her head "They're here? Where?" she glances round as if they were going to walk into the room. Jem jumps slightly as Creven wraps his arms round her and she bursts into tears, burying her head into his chest, shaking with sobs as she whispers apologies to him.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - shakes his head his arms still around Jem "I don't know Jem...and you're not a bad mother, not at all..." he comments.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs, rolling her eyes slightly "I must be. I just left them. They hate me." she sobs.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - shakes his head again "No, you can't think like that, now especially."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sits up and looks at him "But... but he wont want to come back. Not with us. We are strangers to him. He doesnt know us." she whispers, brushing his fringe from his eyes.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods "I know Jem, I know...I haven't even met him yet." Creven comments looking at her.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden tilts her head "You havent?" she lets out a sigh "Hes just like you." she smiles slightly.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -shakes his head running a hand down her cheek "No, really?" he asks with a soft smile.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden leans into his hand running her other hand down his chest "I think we should go find him." she whispers.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -nods and smiles before standing up and offering a hand to her "I would like too."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden wipes her eyes quickly and takes his hand, pulling herself up "I dont know where he is, but we could have fun finding out." she laughs.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) -laughs slightly and nods "True, any ideas where he may be?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head, frowning "I havent a clue. With Amara i assume." she shudders slightly "I dont want to know what they are doing though." she pauses "And I dont want to even think about walking in on them." she cringes.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - laughs and nods "Well, lets hope that they are more discreet and better planned than us." he comments softly kissing her cheek.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden giggles slightly, nuzzling his neck and placing a few kisses there "It doesnt take much to be better planned than us.” she whispers, blushing slightly as she spots Seb and Omar.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles and laughs again winking to his friends before leading her out of the door. "I bet Omar was disappointed seeing Amara and Keldon together."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden grins at Seb and Omar, waving a small bye to them "I think he might have been. He wouldnt stop talking about her." she laughs "I know how he feels though." she sighs slightly, lacing her hands with his as they walk.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - smiles again taking her hand "Well....lets just see how Keldon measures up..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden laughs and shakes her head "Well, he is like you. That says it all, doesnt it." she grins up at him, smelling the air for any scent of Kel or Amara.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - laughs and shrugs "Well...it could say a few things really."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head "Well, I havent seen any of your bad qualities in him. Yet."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - raises his eye brows watching her "Which are?" he asks with a smirk.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden rolls her eyes "Well that would be telling. And if I told you, you might change them and I like them."she winks.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - shrugs facing forwards again, still smiling.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden chuckles slightly before wrinkling her nose "Urgh. Its hard to pick up Kels scent when you smell so bad, Creven. You need to change. I can smell her all over you." she shudders, muttering.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - rolls his eyes still looking forward but nods and smiles turning to her "As soon as I've met my son."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden laughs again, shoving him playfully against the wall and crashing her lips against his "If she goes near you again, the promise I made about behaving goes right out the window." she purrs.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - gasps slightly his mind on other things but softly kisses her back . "No it doesn't Jem, you stand by it." he comments slipping out and continuing walking down the corridor.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden pouts slightly and rolls her eyes as she follows him "I didnt mean it would happen while we are here." she grins slighly, slipping her hand back into his and leading him down the stairs, catching Kels scent faintly.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods letting her guide him but keeps silent for now mulling things over in his mind.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden stops outside a door, glancing back over her shoulder at Creven "You know this is going to be hard, right?" she sighs "Hes not going to believe us." she turns round fully and stands in front of her husband, her eyes pleading "Do what you have to do to make him believe us." she whispers, running her hand down his cheek "I cant loose another child."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods turning slightly to kiss the side of her hand "I know, I'll say what I can, but I won't force him Jem...I can't."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods as she smiles slightly, leaning her head against his "I know you didnt want any kids, Creven."she mutters "You were talking in your sleep after Coran..." she stops and closes her eyes.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - sighs running a hand through his hair "I didn't want the risk of anyone else going through what I did during my childhood..." he comments looking down "But Kel probably has."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden runs her hand through his fringe, nodding slowly "I know that now and Im sorry. I didnt mean to force you into it. I didnt want to force you into anything." she smiles slightly "Wow slightly emotional there." she tries to joke.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods before looking back up "One day I'll explain everything about my past..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden raises her eyebrow at him "Really? Everything? No matter how dark and grim it may seem?" she replies, slightly shocked and confused.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) bites his lower lip watching her "Maybe not the full details, but most of it" he explains.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden pouts playfully "And here was me thinking I was going to hear everything." she grins, before kissing him.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) laughs and shakes his head after returning the kiss "nope, I still want you to talk to me."he comments repressing a shudder.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden frowns slightly "I do talk to you." she tilts her head.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) nods "you won't like what's in my past...."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs and wraps her arms round him "Thats why its the past, Creven." she shakes her head "You know mine." she shrugs before opening her mouth the continue as the door opens "I thought I heard voices." Kel states, leaning on the doorframe, arms folded.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) nods again "I know but some of the things I've done to…" he stops as the door open finding himself looking at a pair of familiar yet different violet eyes. "Keldon..." he remarks taking in the rest of his sons appearance as Amara joins him at the door.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods at Creven, her eyes fixed on Kel with a small smile on her face "Hey Kel. Amara." she smiles at them both before watching Creven’s reaction, keeping her arms round him "Yeah, that’s me" Kel looks Creven up and down "Who are you? And why do I feel like I should know you." he questions.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley . Amara smiles at Jem slipping a hand around Keldon’s waist as Creven offers his son a hand "My name is Creven, and well, I'm your father Keldon." he explains with a slight smile.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden watches Creven cautiously "My... father?" he questions and shakes his head "No. Xipilli is my father." Kel states, wrapping an arm round Amara. Jem sighs, frustrated "Creven." she sighs "What did I just say."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley . Amara places a hand on Keldon’s chest looking up at him "Creven is your blood father Kel, look at him, he's basically you." she comments and Creven nods "I know this is going to be hard to get your head around, but I can prove it, just try to believe me..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden stares at Kel "Its true. Im your mother and Creven is your father." she states "Prove it? So what if you can?" Kel laughs slightly "If you are my parents, my blood parents, where the hell have you been all my life? Huh? Answer me that. Seventeen years and you show up just out of the blue and expect me to believe you." Kel glances at them both, his voice calm.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley . Amara keeps her eyes on Keldon and Creven shifts his weight from one foot to the other " Where we come its only been about three weeks since your birth Keldon....time moves differently, something or someone pulled your through from our world into this one, I don't know why or even how but it happened, we came to find you, not knowing about the time difference or anything."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods "He’s right, Kel. Trust me." she lifts her top up, showing the faint symbols still imprinted on hr stomach. Kel blinks as he listens, staring at Jem’s stomach before shaking his head. "I dont... understand." he frowns. Jem pulls her top back down quickly and lays her hands on her stomach as she remembers Creven hadn’t seen that before "I cant explain anything Kel. Maybe Xipilli can though." she half growls.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara blinks shock spreading across her face "Good god." she remarks placing a hand across her mouth. Creven also blinks and raises his eyebrows.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs, glancing at Creven before lowering her eyes and stares at the floor "Told you that you had missed a lot." she mutters. Kel frowns "I recognise them."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley . Creven nods "Clearly more than I realised..." he replies before Amara agrees with Keldon "What do they mean?" he asks looking directly at his son.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden keeps her eyes on the floor and her hands on her stomach, shuddering slightly "Im not sure. They are the ancient language of here. I havent studied it properly, but I recognise some of them."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara nods "Only those of great power normally use them, with the gift of the old tongue and magic." she comments. Creven nods looking back at Jem.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden lifts her head up, looking at Amara "But I dont have any connection with here. Why would someone stamp me with them?" she keeps her eyes from Creven, her head held high even though she was confused and still hurting. Every breath she took, she could smell Jessie on him.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley . Amara bites her lip before unwrapping her arm from Keldon "I need to speak with Xipilli." she comments before beginning to walk down the corridor. Creven turns his attention back to Keldon "Any ideas?” he asks quickly.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods at Amara and watches her leave. Kel shakes his head Sorry. No. The only words I can make out is death and loss." he scratches his head "Its a hard language to study, you know." he half jokes.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven watches Amara disappear at a run down the corridor before smiling slightly at Keldons remark "death and loss....rather generic, especially for this place, well they're not Kitsune.”
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden rolls her eyes <Not everything is Kitsune, Creven> she chuckles slightly, causing Kel to stare at hers “Something funny?" he asks before looking back at Creven "Kitsune? No they arent."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven smiles slightly "I am Kitsune, but I've never seen anything like them before." Creven explains turning his attention from Jem back to Keldon.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden laughs, leaning her head on Creven, her eyes not leaving Kel "You are? You havent. Oh. Erm..." he falters, something clicking into place, things starting to slightly make sense.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven smiles before laughing "I've stayed out of your mind don't worry."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nudges Creven and rolls her eyes "Hey. You stay out of his, but rattle round mine."  she sticks her tongue out at him, winking at Kel "Where’s the fairness?" Kel laughs at them both before a small frown hits him "Things never made sense. I was different to Xipilli. To everyone." he says, mainly to himself.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven smiles before watching his son "I hope we can make everything fall into place and make more sense." he responds.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles at Kel who snaps his head up "I hope so too." he replies, nodding slightly before glancing round wondering where Amara went.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles at Kel who snaps his head up "I hope so too." he replies, nodding slightly before glancing round wondering where Amara went.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) continues to smile placing a hand on his sons shoulder "Keldon Calanon...it's got a nice ring to it." he ponders with a slightly chuckle.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles more as Kel nods "It kind of does." he replies, looking at the hand on his shoulder. Jem wipes her eyes quickly.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven nods and smiles again "Amara is a good looker, nice pairing there son." Creven remarks with a wink.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head, grinning "Well if he has the same taste as his father..." she sniffles. Kel laughs"Thats nothing. Shes great everywhere." he winks right back.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - kisses Jem's cheek before laughing and looking back at Keldon "I probably don't need to know anymore." he comments before laughing again.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden closes her eyes briefly before throwing her arms round her husband "Does that mean we have him back?" she whispers in his ear, hope in her voice as Kel laughs "You two are just like a couple of kids you know." he laughs "And dont worry. The details will stay in my head."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - laughs wrapping his arms around Jem "Possibly." he whispers back before nodding "We can be, and good!" he replies.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden giggles happily, kissing Creven's neck. Kel laughs again "As long as you stay out of my head, things will be fine." he grins, rolling his eyes "So what now? I mean, what shall I call you? Mum and dad would seem weird right now, considering Xipilli is about still."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods "Of course." he comments rolling his eyes at Jem before shrugging "Its up to you..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden grins and unwraps her arms from round Creven "Just Jem and Creven will do fine for now, if that makes you feel comfortable I mean." she nods, the grin not leaving her face. Kel nods slowly "If you are sure thats ok." to which Jem looks up at Creven and nods.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods and smiles over to his son "Thats good enough for me." he replies before sighing slightly "Will you help us work out what happened at your birth?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden looks down at the floor, her eyes closed at the mention of the birth again. She holds her stomach, small whimpers escaping her lips <I need to lie down, Creven.> Kel nods "I will do my best." he says, glancing at Jem "Whats wrong?" he frowns.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods before supporting more of Jem's weight "I think some of us should sit down." he comments glancing around.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods slowly "I will be ok. Just a bit of excitement overload I think" she tries to smile as Keldon opens the door "Bring her in here. Theres a huge bed she can lie down on." he smiles.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods trying not to laugh. Impressed at the room Creven guides Jem over to the bed before turning back around to Keldon "Do you think Xipilli will know what the symbols are?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden rolls her eyes at her husband "Laugh if you want. You havent been through what I have." she mutters under her breath as she curls up on the bed. Kel shrugs "He might. There’s a chance he wont say anything though." Kel continues as he walks to the sofa.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods watching Keldon "He's protective of you?" he asks trying to work a few more things out about Xipilli.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden closes her eyes, yawning, fighting to keep them open. Kel shakes his head "Not as such. Just more protective of what is going on around him. He keeps so many secrets for so many people, Im sure they all know about me." Kel sighs.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods running a hand through his hair "I guessed that, Amara seems to know a lot, but shes very loyal to him."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles as she listens. Kel nods "I love her but I have to be very careful what I say to her. I dont want her to tell him things. You know?" he runs his hand through his hair, almost mimicking Creven’s movements.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods understanding all too well what his son was talking about "Yes...how much do you know about Kyson here?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sits upright "Creven..." she warns. Kel shudders "A lot more after the incident that I wanted to." he looks at Jem.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - waves Jem off, he had to know. "We've faced him before, killed him before..." Creven starts "Anything you know about him could be very helpful."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden scoffs and lays back down, turning over. Kel shakes his head "Other than him being able to be in here" he taps his head "Im not sure to be honest." he looks up at Creven, wide eyed "Wait. you have killed him before? What the hell is he?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods "He's done that before..." he starts before nodding again "I'm not sure what he is anymore, he used to be a great Kitsune leader...then changed, wanting more power, he started to go rouge. He lost his position and has been trying numerous things to get it back."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden closes her eyes, drifting off into a deep sleep. Kel raises an eyebrow "He was a leader? Of Kitsunes?" he scoffs slightly "He deserves to be killed, tortured even." he smirks slightly.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods and smiles at Keldon's smirk "Believe me when I say I've done both."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs "Now why doesnt that surprise me. You seem to be the quiet one of the two." he nods towards the bed, where Jem was muttering in her sleep.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - raises his eyebrows and smiles slightly "Well I never used to be..." he comments looking from Jem and back to Keldon "But things change."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) tilts his head "Meaning what exactly?" he asks.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - sighs running a hand through his hair again "I'm the Kitsune Emperor in my world...I used to be a free lance assassin."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) raises his eyebrows "Wow. I have royalty as a father." he laughs slightly "Still seems strange."he keeps his eyes on Creven "Used to be? What happened?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - glances back over at Jem before continuing "I got married and had kids." he replies glancing back at Keldon "I carried on for a little while, but I know Jem always disapproved I couldn't deal with her panicking everytime I was a minuet late home, so I stopped...well...mainly stopped unless really needed, just don't tell her that."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) listens intently, glancing over at Jem "Wow. just wow." he mutters before looking back at Creven "Wait. Kids? As in plural? I have .. brothers or sisters?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - nods folding his arms "Marriah, Xander, Zethina...there was Coran, but he killed my father...so I sent a bunch of assassins out after him." he states bluntly.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) blinks "What. well..." he stops, not knowing what to say. Jem turns over, stretching "I never said I disapproved love." she yawns, dropping back off to sleep again.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven) - glances back over at Jem "No, but you thought it..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden mumbles incoherently in her sleep. Kel laughs slightly "Well she can hear a lot."
  <RAV> Sixthyearboy CrevenCalanon glances from Keldon to Jem and back again before nodding "She certainly can, too much at times."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs slightly, watching Jem too "How do you mean?"
  <RAV> Sixthyearboy CrevenCalanon shrugs slightly "Some things are best kept as secerts."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) shakes his head "Secrets arent good, Creven. Look whats happened to me all because Xipilli keps a secret and lied."
  <RAV> Sixthyearboy CrevenCalanon nods slightly raisng a hand "But think of the consquenses which may have occured if he had told the full truth..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sighs, running his hand through his hair "And look what might have happened if I hadnt have been taken in the first place."
  <RAV> Sixthyearboy CrevenCalanon nods again "But, if you hadn't been taken, we wouldn't have known about Kyson...he may have taken over the Levels, be raising an army and finding a way back to my world to try and conqure it."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) shrugs slightly, resting his head in his hands "I guess everything happens for a reason." he mutters.
  <RAV> Sixthyearboy CrevenCalanon smils slightly nodding yet again "They say theres a fine line between fate and coinicdence...believe what you want, but its our current situation we have to deal with."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sits back in the chair, nodding "Fate and coincidence? I didnt believe in that kind of thing til I met Amara."he smiles.
  <RAV> Sixthyearboy CrevenCalanon laughs slightly folding his arms "How so Son?”
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) grins "Well, /Dad/ I saw her when i was looking out my window one day. She was so beautiful. I went to find her and it was three weeks until I saw her again."
  <RAV> Sixthyearboy CrevenCalanon nods listening raising his eye brows "She works on the Estate here though, close to Xipilli...how come you didn't see her for so long?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) frowns slightly "I dont know. I guess I never though about that. Maybe Xipilli kept her busy." he shrugs.
  <RAV> Sixthyearboy CrevenCalanon nods "I'm sure he did...how did you two actually meet?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) blinks a few times "Erm, we just kind of bumped into each other in the halls.." he raises his head slowly"Da.. Creven" he corrects himself quickly "Do you think it was a set up?”
  <RAV> Seventhyearboy CrevenCalanon blinks and shakes his head "You and Amara? no, not at all."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sighs "I hate to say it, but sometimes I do wonder. you know. I get this feeling, right in the back of my head." he shrugs "Just me being paranoid I guess.”
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven)- laughs placing a hand on Keldon's shoulder "Maybe then, but she loves you Kel, she really does."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) nods over to the bed "Like you do her?" he grins.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven)-nods and smiles "Yes..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) hmms, nodding slowly, glancing between Jem and Creven, before looking back over at the bed, frowning slightly "How do you know?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven)-smiles looking back at Keldon "Its the way she talks about you, and how she reacted when Jessie said she'd...well you can guess."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) smiles slightly, looking back up at Creven "When this war is over, Im asking her to marry me." he mutters.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven)-nods and blinks "I thought you were already engaged?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs "We are. Unofficially. I didnt get down on one knee and do it properly." he rolls his eyes "Im going to take her away and do it properly. I know she would love it."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven)-smiles and nods "I'm sure she would."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) blinks a few times, a goofy grin on his face "How did you propose to Mu... Jem?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven)- clears his throat "Well...in was in front of my father...Jem was heavily pregnant with our first son."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs "Really. Wow. She was pregnant! Did you do it because she was pregnant?" he asks, glancing over at the bed again.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven)-places his hands on his hips "You know, thats exactly what my father said...but no I didn't, I did it because I loved her."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) blinks and holds his hands up "Sorry. I was just asking." he stands up and wanders over to a cabinet to get a bottle, jumping as some of the noises from the bed.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven)-blinks looking across at Jem frowning "I don't like the sound of what shes dreaming about."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) nods as he sits back down with the bottle of whiskey "Me neither." he says, pouring two glasses and sliding one across to Creven.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven)-smiles taking the glass "whiskey...good taste." he comments before even taking a sip.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) chuckles, downing the drink in one "Its all I can stand to be honest. And it has to be the good stuff."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven)-nods and laughs draining his own glass "Naturally Keldon!"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) chuckles "Well it seems I have found out where I get that from." he jokes.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven)-nods smiling "Yes, so it seems." he replies before looking over at Jem slightly concerned. "Amara really recognised those symbols didn't she...more than you..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) follows Creven’s gaze back to the bed and sighs "Yes, I think she did. But she ran straight off to Xipilli." he frowns.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven)-nods looking back over at Keldon "A common occurrence I'm guessing..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) rolls his eyes slightly "Pretty much daily, to be honest. More so recently."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven)-nods "She trusts him deeply, and is loyal to him, from what I can tell she believes she owes her life to him in debt for saving her."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) shakes his head, pouring another drink for them both "Shes going to think Im some kind of killer now." he pushes the glass over to Creven "I stabbed her. Well not me. Kyson took over me for a while. He did it." he explains, draining the glass in one again.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven)-blinks listening to him "No, she loves you enough...and knows it wasn't really you...Kyson mentioned killing her when I saw him."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) tilts his head slightly, his hand halfway to the bottle "What else did he say?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven)- shakes his head "Not alot, but he wanted Xipilli to mistrust and disown you, make it look like you really killed her, after trying to kill the Opulens"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) opens his mouth before shaking his head "Stupid mistakes come back to haunt me." he grumbles.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven)-nods "Mistakes that arent really your fault."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sighs slightly, moving his hand from the bottle "Try telling my conscience that then." he scoffs, running his hand through his hair "Erm, does she always thrash about like that?"




<GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara knocks quickly on Xipilli's office door before entering in and shutting it behind her. Xipilli looks up slightly confused by Amara's sudden entrance. "Amara whats wrong?" he asks as walks over to his desk her hands shaking slightly "Jem, she has the symbols of the old language across her stomach, they've been there since she gave birth to Kel, I recognised half of them Xipilli...but it doesn't make sense, theres only a few who still practice that kind of magic." she exclaims as Xipilli stands up taking Amara's hand in his own. "Amara calm down," he comments "It will be fine." he adds but Amara shakes her head "Xipilli," she starts before being cut off "Don't panic Amara, I know what you're thinking, but I had nothing to do with this, I've only studied the symbols, it was my wife who practised them." he explains walking around the desk to her. Amara nods looking down before back up at him again "But you knew where Kel would be found." she states and Xipilli nods "Yes Amara and as I've told you before my wife told me that before she died." he says letting go of her running a hand through his hair Amara frowns slightly "But how did she know?" she asks keeping her eyes fixed on him "How Xipilli?" Xipilli shakes his head and sighs "Amara, there is one thing my wife always wanted but for us it wasn't possible...she was willing to try and do anything, I told her not too but she went behind my back." he explains and Amara shakes her head slightly before things started to slide into place "You wanted children but couldn't have them." she comments and Xipilli nods "Your wife used magic, old magic, mainly forbidden to use just to get what she wanted...a child...it was because of her that Keldon was bought here." Amara mumbles putting it all together and Xipilli nods "Yes, I don't even know who she went to...but I couldn't believe it when she told me what she'd done, I couldn't stop her the spell had already been cast...a child would be stolen from its mother, who should have been killed during the process but Jem is strong." he explains "As soon as I found out that the spell had worked, even years after her death, which is a problem with the old magic...its unpredictable, and possibly the sorcerer who cast the spell knew about Keldon in the future...I went and found Keldon, took him in as my own, as far as I could tell I didn't have a choice I had to and wanted to raise him, protect him." Xipilli continues and Amara nods "Why haven't you told me this before?" she asks and Xipilli sighs "Because I knew you'd disagree, what she did was wrong." he remarks and Amara nods taking one of his hands into hers "But as you've said Pilli, it was her, not yours. Pilli this isnt your fault, you helped Keldon, did the right thing, do not blame yourself." she comments, both of them making direct eye contact. Xipilli nods before wrapping his arms around her, embracing her into a tight hug. "Thank you Amara." he whispers and she nods "You made the best you could out of an unusual situation, you've been a great father and mentor to Keldon, but.." she sighs slightly and he nods "But Jem will blame me for what happened, you can't tell her Amara."  he replies and she takes a step back from him "Another hidden secret, thats all the Levels seem to be at the moment." she comments, Xipilli smiles "It wouldn't be the Levels without them, and I can't have any more tension in the Estate right now, Amara we need to stop Kyson before this goes any further, I need Creven, Jem and everyone on my side, we can tell them when its over, okay?" he asks and she nods with a small smile "Okay."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden tosses and turns after falling back to sleep for the second time. A voice drifts across to her "Jem. Jem." something touched her and she jumps "Corbin?" Jem frowns, looking round and jumps again, seeing her father in law in front of her. She smiles "Where have you been?" she questions, shivering "Busy." he replies. "Watching people." he smiles softly at her "I have been in Xipilli’s office with him and Amara. The things they mentioned, Jem. About Kel, Xipilli’s wife." he sighs, shaking his head "Why people have to fabricate the truth, I will never know." he sighs, looking up at Jem who was stood with a frown o n her face. "What do you mean?" "Come with me" Corbin hold his hand out "I can take you there and replay what I heard. I mean." he laughs slightly "I can do it from here, but you wouldn’t hear much. Im not as strong as I was last time we spoke." Jem nods and takes his hand, the place they once stood seemed to melt away as they appeared in what she assumed to be Xipilli’s office. Corbin motions round "Welcome to Xipilli’s office." Jem nods, her suspicions confirmed as the hair on her arms stood on end. Corbin keeps hold of Jem’s hand and stares at her, replaying what he saw and hears between Xipilli and Amara. Jem stares, in shock and disbelief "Xipilli’s wife working with dark magic." she whispered as Corbin nods "Apparently so." he sighs "Listen, Jem. You cant say anything just yet about what I have just shown you. They might think you are using dark magic to infiltrate their secret meetings and thoughts and who knows what else." he stops "They might think you are working for him." he mutters Jem nod, sighing "Trust me, I learnt my lesson last time I worked for him." she rolls her eyes as Corbin stares at her "You did what!" he half yells Jem shudders "Corbin, I had to. He threatened my children." Jem snatches her hand back from him, angrily "I know you would do the same if it came to Lea or Creven. And yes, Creven knows. Yes I got told off. No I wont do it again." she retorts. Corbin nods "I understand. But now you have to wake up. Its been three hours since you fell asleep. Time passes so differently, quickly both here in dream land and the Levels. Mix them together and its unbelievably fast." Corbin jokes as he transports them back to where he first appeared "Im still around." he smiles as he disappears and Jem sits up in bed, gasping for breath as she tries to remember the unfamiliar room she was in, her hand flying to her head.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven)-turns around quickly placing his glass down and sits on the edge on the bed a hand on Jem's forehead "My sweet Jem...its just a dream..." he says softly.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) watches as Jem sits up, gasping for breath and gripping the sides of the beds, trying to work out where she was.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven)-places his hands on either side of Jem's head "Hey calm down, Its me, Creven."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head, unable to make a sound as her mouth seems to dry up. She smiles at Creven slightly, hearing his voice. Kel frowns, wondering what was happening.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven)-wraps his arms around her "what happened?" he asks glancing at Kel before turning his attention back on Jem before jumping at a knock on the door. "Sorry, I hope I'm not disturbing anything..." Amara says politely looking from Jem and Creven to Keldon.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head again, snaking her arms round Creven and sobbing against him, shaking. Kel glances over at the door as it opens, the frown replaced by an instant smile as Amara walks in.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven)-tightens his arms around Jem kissing the top of her head. Amara smiles at Keldon and walks over to him slipping an arm around his waist "is everything okay?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden tightens her arms around Creven <I will tell you when she has gone> she growls slightly. Kel shrugs at Amara, hugging her "Not really. Just a chat and a drink with my da.. Creven."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven)-nods quickly glancing over at her. Amara blinks looking back at Jem and Creven feeling slightly self-conscious "Okay." She replies softly kissing Kel's cheek "I need to talk to you later, alone." she whispers into his ear.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden grips Creven slightly tighter than she meant to as she takes a few deep breaths to try and calm herself down. Kel blink at Jem growling, but nods at Amara "mhm." he mutters, wondering why.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven)-softly strokes Jem's back "It will all be fine." he comments. Amara smiles slightly at Kel "Perhaps Jem and Creven would like some time alone."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods slowly, turning away from Kel and Amara, still shaking slightly. Kel takes Amaras hand "What do you suggest?" he winks, grinning.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Creven)-smiles over at Kel and Amara "Thank you." he comments turning his attention back to Jem. Amara grips Keldon's hand before walking out of the room, up the stairs onto the second floor and heads to her room within the house "I have to tell you something important, Xipilli told me not too, but you need to know."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shoots Amara a glare as they leave "Thanks Kel." she smiles slightly, waiting for the door to shut before looking up at Creven, biting her lip. Kel follows Amara, knowing where they were going. He shuts the door behind them "What do you mean?" he asks, folding his arms.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - walks across to the other side of the room. Her room divided into two sections, a sleeping area on one side and her desk and work space on the other. "Its about Jem...and what happened at your birth." she sighs looking out of the window.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) wanders over to Amara, frowning "What do you mean, Amara? And why arent you allowed to tell me?" he snaps slightly "It was my birth. Everyone knows more about it than I do!"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - sighs glancing over at him "Xipilli is worried about what might happen...but you have a right to know." she says before walking over to her bed and sits on the end of it
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) frowns, watching her "Stop with the riddles, Amara and just tell me. Please. I Will deal with whatever Xipilli deals out."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods sighing looking up at him "The symbols on Jem's stomach were cast by a sorcerer working for Xipilli's wife...she wanted a child so badly she went behind his back and used the dark ancient magic." she explains with a sigh "But timings were out, she was killed before you were bought to the Levels via the spell...thats why Xipilli cares about you so much, he blames himself, feels responsible so found you and raised you as his own." she continues watching him.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sighs, shaking his head as he listens "I dont... You mean... Am I?" he questions, awkwardly shifting on the spot "Amara. Do I have dark magic in me?" he watches her, confused about a lot of things. Kel shudders violently "Who was the sorcerer, Amara and why is Xipilli keeping all this a secret from me?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - shakes her head "I don't know...I don't even think Xipilli knows for sure" she replies with a sigh before standing up and walking over to him placing a hand on his chest "Kel hun, I really think he's doing it all to protect you."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sighs and lowers his head "Things, Amara. Everything’s changing so fast for me right now. I dont know if im coming or going half the time." he moves Amaras hand from his chest, taking a few steps back "I need to stay away for a while. Try and get my head around all of this." he sighs "Im going to be about the estate, just dont come looking for me." he turns round and walks out, not looking back at her as he shuts the door behind him and half runs down the corridor.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara shakes her head watching him "Kel no please, I need you here, we can work this out together, Keldon!?!" she yells after him, opening the door and quickly trying to follow him.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sighs, shaking his head as he dived round a corner and climbed out an open window. H didnt want to do this but he had to find out what was going on. Amara was too close to Xipilli. He had a feeling there was some more to tell about his birth. Xipilli must have known she would tell him.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara shakes her head watching him go, perhaps she shouldn't have told him the truth, but hated denying thing from him. "Keldon!" she yells across concerned about what he was planning on doing, it wouldn't be easy for him to get out of the estate but she knew he could if he really put his mind to it.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) glances over his shoulder, stopping for a moment to watch Amara, wincing as she yells his name before turning round and darting into the shadows. He was going to find out the truth, no matter what it took.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara sighs and slams her hand against the window frame watching him run off. She sits on the edge trying to work out what to do. She wouldn't let him run off in his own, not again, and perhaps Creven was right, finding and talking to Kyson was the best idea. She takes a deep breath before running back to her room, grabbing her coat, dagger and one of the transportation boxes before heading back downstairs, she had a feeling Kyson knew way more about Keldon too, he was way to interested in him not to know. She runs out across the grounds and towards the gates, getting Lancaster to open the, would be easy for her, then her first stop, the second level where Creven had seen Kyson.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sighs, running his hand through his hair "What are you doing, Kel, you idiot." he mutters, pacing. Now the thing going through his head was if he should go confront Xipilli and risk getting Amara into trouble for telling him or go and try to find this sorcerer. Kel shakes his head, flitting between the two ideas as he sits under a tree to work it out.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara slips out through the main gates Lancaster confused by her request and would no doubt already be his way to find Xipilli and tell him what Amara had done. She sighs glancing up at the big white walls behind her, she already felt like she was in danger but remove the thought from her mind opening the box, her location switching to that of the middle of a small wood, lights near by suggesting a small settlement.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) stands up, his mind made up. He runs back to the manor and bursts through the front door, glancing left and right before running up the stairs to search for Xipilli. He was going to confront him over this. Amara wasnt around, he couldnt sense her at all.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara takes a deep breath before cautiously walking towards a small cluster of houses trying to see if she could sense Kyson at all.....Xipilli jumps as he walks out of his office straight into Keldon, Lancaster at his side breathing heavily "Kel, please tell me you know where Amara has gone." he states along a hand on Keldon’s shoulder.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) comes to a stop, almost bumping into Lancaster. He glances at Xipilli’s hand on his shoulder and blinks "Maybe I do, Xipilli. Maybe I dont. Why dont you go and ask a sorcerer to help you? he snaps, getting to the point.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli frowns a d shakes his head "She told you, of course she did..." he mutters before shaking his head "Kel if had known what my wife was doing I would have stopped her, believe me I have no love for the dark ancient magic," he explains briefly before shaking his head "but we are on the brink of war and Amara has left the grounds of the Estate, with no reason."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) shakes his head angrily, poking Xipilli’s shoulder hard "Of course she told me! She loves me and I love her. We have no secrets!" he yells "Would you have done Xipilli? Its something you cant change now. You can say you would have done something, but I dont believe you., not one bit. All this time." he continues "All this time you have had to tell me about what happened and nothing. You and all your people still preferring to stay with the lie, fabricate the truth. What kind of a leader does that!" he yells and stops, falling silent "She... she’s left the estate?" he glances at Lancaster.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli nods "I'm a leader who looks out for is people, even if it means hiding things from them, and right now we need to find her, any single, small idea would help" he explains as Lancaster clears his throat "She came to the gates saying that Xipilli had given her secret orders, Amara being Amara I believed her until it was too late, no one, at all is supposed to leave, I came straight here to check with Xipilli who knows nothing of it."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sighs and shrugs "I dont know, Xipilli. I dont ..." he stops and glances down the stairs "Kyson." he mutters. The one thing he could think of. She wouldn’t, would she?
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli blinks watching Keldon "Kyson...you think she's gone looking for Kyson?" he remarks and frowns "For all her intelligence she can be too rash, whatever she's got planned, if she even got as far as planning" he replies a worried look across his face. -- Amara ducks down into the shadows looking out across the houses, or rather huts, a few spread out in a circle and closes her eyes searching for Kysons presence, something quite difficult as she had never properly met him.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) nods, shoving his hands into his pockets "Its what I would do." he mutters -- Kyson laughs in the corner of the bar, downing a few drinks with some old friends, the thoughts of the group and all their eyes, on the young blonde behind the bar who keeps glancing over at them. Kyson laughs "I bet I could get her on our side." he smirks.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara listens and suddenly freezes hearing a family voice through the window under which she was sitting. She bites her lip working out what to do but goes for the upfront approach. Confidently she walks into the hut and over to the bar leaning against it. "what has a woman got to do to get a drink around here?" she asks down the bar, her eyes fixed on Kyson, aware that every other pair in the room would probably be on her.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) laughs again, punching his friend on the arm "Im sure she would!" he stares at the woman against the bar, his jaw almost hitting the floor "Wow, she’s..." he mutters, unable to finish his sentence as the rest of the group send wolf whistles and catcalls over at Amara.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara smiles letting the corner of her bottom lip slowly roll out as she loosens the pressure on it. She shrugs glancing around the room winking at a few of the men before returning her eyes to Kyson "I am very touched," she comments leaning with her back to the bar, arms spread out across it as she turns her head to the right looking down to Kyson "Now does anyone feel like buying a parched woman a drink, it was a long journey to get here." she asks around a flirty smile on her face.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) keeps her eyes on Amara and stands up "I will gladly buy you one. Or as many as you want." he winks at her, making his was over and leaning on the bar next to her "Whats the name of the pretty young lady Im going to be buying drinks for?" he asks, motioning for the barmaid to come over. She shoots Amara a dirty look as she takes the drinks order.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara smiles watching Kyson "Why thank you good sir," Amara comments staying in the same position but let's her eyes wander checking him over. "My name, well that's a simple enough question, it's Amara." she states, curling the r in her name "May I enquire as to yours?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) nods,, letting her eyes wander over her before he snaps his head up "Amara." he ponders, slightly realisation crossing his face "As in Xipillis?" he raises his eyebrows "Well this just got interesting." he muttered, chuckling.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara nods a smiles "The very same," she announces to him. Amara turns sideways to face him, one arm on the bar the other draped down his back, her hand on his should "Oh it certainly has Kyson, certainly." she comments keeping her voice quite whispering into his ear.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) chuckles, raising her eyebrows at her "Well, seems like we are in a pickle, dear Amara." he looks up at her "What do you want." he snaps slightly.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara keeps her hand firmly on him. "Information on Keldon, particularly what you know about his birth."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) chuckles as the barmaid sets their drinks on the bar "Add it to my tab." he waves her away "Information on Keldon’s birth." he repeats with a smirk "Now why would I give you that, dear Amara." he leans closer and takes a deep breath of her "Whats in it for me?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara smiles taking a sip of the drink before placing it back down on the bar. "Well dear Kyson, I am sure we can come to some form of arrangement, anything in particular that you are after?" she asks. Her hand still on his shoulder, the other around the drink which she sips again.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) chuckles, shaking his head "Want anything. Amara are you sure you know me>" he tries to keep a straight face as he talks before laughing "Oh I cant even pretend." he grins, sipping his drink "If you think you know me, tell me what I want." he taunts.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara shakes he head sipping her drink again, she had a few ideas but none she really wanted to suggest herself "Why dear Kyson, quite the opposite, I hardly know you at all, and will freely admit that." she replies draining the glass and placing it back down on the bar.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) drains his drink, waving for a top up for them both "Oh really." he mutters, smirking "So Iif I were to suggest you work for me, and help me gain Xipilli’s estate in exchange for all the information you require, you would do that?" he questions, glancing at her.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (kyson) rolls his eyes "You owe him too much? Like what?" he looks her up and down again, shaking his head slightly.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara tries not to blush feeling his eyes on her "My life, twice over now he's saved it, pulled me back for, the brink." she states with a shrug "So a large life debt to him,." she continues brushing the side of his cheek with her hand before laying it back on his shoulder.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) laughs slightly "Well they say the third time is a charm." he jokes, nudging her.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara laughs slightly "I really don't plan on there being a third time Kyson, at all...I really do like being alive, it's much more fun." she replies with a wink.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) grins "Ah well. If you ever want to." he starts, standing up "I do have some things to deal with right now." he hands her a card "Call me sometime, we can discuss Keldon.  Amongst other things." he winks.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara nods taking the card "Must you leave so soon?" she asks looking the card over before slipping it into her pocket.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) sighs slightly, nodding as he throws some money on the bar "I do, Im afraid. So much paperwork." he slurrs slightly "Got a war to prepare for." he chuckles, swaying on his feet.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley laughs steadying him slightly "You aren't the only one, but it doesn't have to come to war." she states before also standing up "It's late, I daren't travel back tonight, do you know anywhere around her where it would be safe to stay?" she asks before letting go of him again.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) sways again "Sure I do" he slurs  "Come and stay with me. Plenty of rooms spare." he adds with a drunken wink.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara nods again supporting him, guiding him towards the door "I'll have yo take you up on that offer for tonight." she replies.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) staggers over to the door, motioning for a tall sandy haired man to join them "Riki. Take us home" he grabs Riki's arm to steady himself.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara smiles politely at the man feeling a tad short before following them both.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) laughs as Riki ushers him down the street to a medium sized house.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara keeps up with their pace, pausing to quickly glance at the house in front of her, trying to work out if she was or wasn't doing the right thing.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) stumbles through the front door, laughing as Riki tries to steady him "Come in Amara." he slurs, his breath smelling of whiskey "Where do you want to sleep?" he smirks. wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - takes a deep breath following them inside "On my own, preferably" she comments watching the look on his face.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) blinks and his face falls slightly before he walks over to her, running her fingers through her hair "Are you sure about that?" he whispers "Theres plenty of room for you in there."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - gasps slightly backing into the nearest wall "Yes I'm sure!" she remarks shock crossing her face.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) tilts his head slightly and lays his hands on either side of Amara on the wall "You know, I saw a lot when I took over Keldon." he breathes in her ear, inhaling slightly "More than you would imagine." he chuckles "Whatever he has seen, I have now seen." he licks his lips.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - shakes her head trying to push him away from her "No, get away from me..." she states glaring at him "How dare you, I will kill you for saying that and for what you did to Kel!"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) laughs wickedly "Kill me, Amara? You couldnt. Plently have tried and I just keep coming back." he grins, tracing her cheek with his finger.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - slaps his hand away from her "Well, becareful as I may just try." she sneers trying to get away from him again.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) curses, glaring at her "Well that wasnt very nice was it." he snarls at her "Riki, show her to her room." he orders. Riki nods and grabs her arm "Lock her in." he mutters. "She might be useful to us."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - struggles against Riki's grasp and shakes her head "Well, its right up your street then." she replies glaring at him.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kysons) laughs and shakes his head "It sure is." he ushers Riki up the stairs "Bring me the key, Riki" he calls out, wandering through to the other room to inform the others of the events and their new guest, walking normal as if he wasnt drunk.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - frowns just able to hear him and folds her arms. She takes a deep breath, thinking she may not have acted so rashly.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) shuts the door behind him and calls a meeting "Right." he snaps, glaring at everyone "No one is to go near the girl upstairs." he states, slamming his hands on the table "She is the leverage against Xipilli." his eyes flicker to everyone as they nods, mutters of "Yes sir" rumble through the room.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - places her ear to the floor just able to make out the meeting below her. Amara frowns listening to Kyson.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) dismisses everyone with a small wave of his hand. He waits until they have all left before shutting the door behind him and walking to his desk where he pulls out two large folders. One word on each. Keldon on one and Private on the other. He sits down, frowning as he reads the Keldon folder.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - frowns not hearing anymore. Amara stands up walking across the room before sitting on the bed looking down at the bracelet on her right wrist.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) lets out a low chuckle, reading about Keldon’s history. He didnt know if Kel knew about his birth parents or not, but if he didnt, it would be more leverage for him.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - sighs twisting it around her wrist following the pattern with a finger, her thoughts on Kel.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) shakes his head, frowning as he pours himself a drink and snapping Keldon's folder shut. He picks up the other one and starts to read his plans.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - walks over to the door trying to handle a few times before sighing and banging her hand against it "Hey Kyson!" she yells.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) tilts his head, listening to the footsteps "Hey yourself." he mutters, grinning as he stands up and walks to the botton of the stairs "Yeah? What do you want?" he calls up.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - bangs on the door again "To talk to you!" she yells back, pleased she'd gotten his attention so easily.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) stays at the bottom of the stairs "About what?" he sighs, rather boredly "Im not here at your call, Amara. I have things to do so make it quick."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - laughs slightly before replying "Keldon!"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) stares up the stairs "What about the brat?" he sneers right back.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - sighs "About his birth...I know about the spell Kyson!"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) laughs, not knowing if she was bluffing or not "What spell?" he calls back.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- continues to yell back at him "The dark ancient one which bought him here."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) laughs "Oh you mean the one cast to call something to desperate people. The one that kills the host? Oh that one." he laughs "What about it?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- nods to herself "Yes that one! Do you know who cast it?" she asks.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) tries to his the smugness in his voice "Maybe I do, maybe I dont."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-laughs "Well that tone tells me you do!"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) laughs "Ok, so what if I do, Amara? Do you think Im going to drop the name of the sorcerer to you just like that?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-rolls her eyes to herself "Of course not...but we...we can make a deal or something!"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) smirks slightly "And what kind of a deal did you have in mind, Amara, my dear?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-takes a deep breath "Come up here and we can discuss that!"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) shakes his head "No thanks. Im quite happy to continue this conversation from where im standing if you dont mind."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-slams her hands against the door again "Well I'm not!" she yells back before sitting back on the edge of the bed.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) bursts out laughing "Well, I see someone is used to getting her own way. Well, newsflash Amara." he starts before yellin"THIS IS MY HOUSE! MY RULES!"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-shrugs sitting on the bed not replying.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kysons) laughs and slowly makes his way up the stairs.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-smiles slightly to herself hearing his footsteps remaining quiet.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) shakes his head at the door to the room Amara was locked in before he knock on another door, and walks in.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-listens carefully to Kyson wondering what he was doing. She remains sat on the bed and folds her arms.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) laughs quietly, nodding "Sure thing, Madam Perde. Memory loss spell might work. " he whispers to the ageing crone in the room.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- looks up at the door sighing before looking back down at her wrist, he had information she needed to know.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Madam P) shakes her head "Kyson, son. A spell for that much memory loss would be damaging to the one receiving it." Kyson shrugs "Thats even better than I had anticipated." he mutters.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- plays with her bracelet frowning slightly, concerned what Kyson was up to.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Madam P) shrugs slightly "Well, Kyson, its on you whatever happens." Kyson nods, glancing at the door "Erasing her memory so she stops asking questions. Maybe go back a bit further. Maybe change a few things. Make her work with us." Kyson takes a seat, chuckling.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-yawns slightly feeling a little tired, it had been a long and troubling day.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Madam P) glances at Kyson with her white eyes "You will need something of hers. Hair strands are usually the best." Kyson nods, wondering how he would get that without her knowing.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-lays down backwards on the bed looking up at the ceiling. Amara places her hand over her bracelet wishing she had never left the Estate.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) stands up, bowing slightly to Madam P before he walks to the door It needs to be here before night tomorrow." Kyson nods "I can do it." he states and walks back out of the room, shutting the door quietly behind him and leaning against it.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-sighs rolling over onto her stomach, her head in her hands.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) frowns slightly before walking over to Amaras door and knocking on it.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-glances over at the door "What?" she calls out propping herself up on one arm.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) unlocks the door, pushes it open and walk inside, "You wanted to talk, then talk." he snaps as he shuts the door again, locking it and leaning against it, watching her.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-nods slightly keeping in her current position "Xipillis wife got a soccerer to cast a spell so she could have a son pulling Kel through to the Levels." she explains "I need a name."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) folds his arms "And if I tell you.." he starts "What do I get in return?" he asks, looking her up and down.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- bites her lip before standing up and walking over to him softly running a hand Kyson's cheek "The question is, what do you want?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) grabs her wrist tightly "What I want." he tilts his head as his other arm snakes up her back, pulling her closer "I think you know." he whispers.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- gasps slightly trying to keep her breathing normal "Yes," she comments quietly leaning her forehead against him "I know."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) blinks, not believing his luck right now. He curls his hand through her hair, brushing his lips against hers "I know you want me Amara. Im better than he is."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- forces herself not to recoil from him, softly she kisses him back "The name Kyson, I need a name..." she comments softly massaging the back of his neck with one hand.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) nips at her bottom lip, tugging her hair slightly "Madam P" he whispers before stopping and shoving her off him, ripping out some of her hair at the same time "You little witch how dare you." he yells, glaring at her. "Stay here. You dont get to leave now. Ever." he storms out the door, slamming it shut behind her, making sure it was triple locked before staring at the hair he held in his hand.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- blinks before stumbling back wards slightly wincing. Amara frowns watching him leave shaking her head, running the name around in her mind sitting back on the bed again her hand over her bracelet.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) knocks on Madam P's door and runs in quickly, holding his hand out "I did it." he exclaims. Madam P looks at him, eyebrows raised "Do I want to ... No I don’t want to know." she takes the hair and throws it in a bowl in front of her, muttering some ancient words under her breath. The hair sizzles, changes colour and bursts into flames. Madam P looks back up at Kyson rather smugly "It is done. She will have no memories from the last 20 years." she holds her hand out and Kyson places some gold in it "Thank you Madam P." he bows again and walks back out the room.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- gasps her hands flying to her head as she falls onto her knees. Amara shakes her head feeling slightly foggy before placing her hands down on the hair in front of her fixing her eyes on the bracelet on her arm. She smiles looking at it, it was a pretty design. She shakes her head again Keldon flashing through her thoughts, but feeling distant somehow. Amara shakes her head again "whats happening to me." she whispers to herself feeling queasy.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) glances over at Amaras door, smirking slightly. So far things were going to plan. sort of. She wasnt the one he was told would be leaving the Estate but it worked to his advantage. He whistles loudly, his way of telling everyone there was an important meeting about to take place. Making his way down the stairs, he chuckles to himself, heading to the meeting room.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-shakes her head again crawling over to the bed and leaning against the end of it. Another wave of pain hits her as she curls up into a ball, something happening inside her mind. Amara frowns realising parts of her memories were fading, slipping away from her. She tightly shuts her eyes using all the techniques she knew to block and protect her mind.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) waits for everyone to arrive, sighing slightly. "Right, step one is complete with the girl. Her memories are being erased." he starts "Not exactly who I thought we were going to have as a guest. The original vision was Keldon, but things change fast." he explains as some of the others nod "We have to wait now until her memories have all gone. Then We have to get her to work for us, trust us and believe us." he continues, smirking."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-regulates her breathing and just manages to catch Kyson's conversation. Amara blinks opening her eyes, so thats what he was trying to do. Amara tries to clear her mind keeping it blocked her altered genetics helping her. Instead she turns her thoughts to her connection with Xipilli, just about to get something through to him before losing the connection. Amara shakes her head panicking trying to work out what had happened before feeling the pain subside, whatever was happening to her memoires had somehow been forced onto her mental connects forcing them shut. Amara places a hand over her mouth in shock, her mind feeling empty, all familiar presences gone.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) runs a hand through his hair "That is all for now. I will inform you of any changes." he waves his hand, dismissing them again before returning to his office, shutting the door behind him, sitting back down at his desk and riffling through papers.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- shakes her head again wrapping her arms around her knees suddenly feeling alone and to an extent empty. Some of her memoires definitely gone. Again she looks down at the bracelet she knew Keldon had given it to her as an engagement present but shakes her head tears falling down her cheeks unable to remember when or where.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) glances at the ceiling a few hours later, his notes making no sense after a bottle of whiskey. He chuckles to himself as he places both folders in the safe and locks it.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley . Amara let's the tears fall down her cheeks before curling up on the bed, one hand over the bracelet trying to fall asleep knowing what she had to try to do.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) pours himself another drink before walking up the stairs slowly and coming to a stop outside Amaras door. He knocks a few times.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley . Amara jumps slightly at the knocking but remains curled up on the bed, she just hoped her acting skills were up to scratch.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) knocks louder "Hey. Dont you dare ignore me or I will break this door down."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara sits up taking a deep breath "I...I'm sorry....I." she starts her voice filled with panic as she turns to face the door hugging her knees to her chest.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) chuckles "Not so mouthy now are we." he mutters as he opens the door.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley . Amara blinks looking up at Kyson letting her eyes search his face for something, anything "I..I don't know what you mean." she replies looking down resting her head on her knees.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) smirks at her and shakes his head as he sits down next to her "You had an accident, sweetheart. Another one of your episodes. You fell down the stairs, hit your head pretty hard" he explains, smiling slightly.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley . Amara blinks listening to him resisting the urge to roll her eyes "I don't understand....what do you mean? Who are you?" she asks looking back up at him. Her insides churning perhaps she could just lash out now and make a run for it, though she doubted she'd get very far.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) smiles shaking his head again "You really did hit your head hard." he mutters "Im Kyson, You work for me, although we both know theres a spark between us." he winks.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley . Amara blinks again having to bite her bottom lip to refrain from saying anything. She smiles slightly shuffling over and leaning against him "I can't remember anything." she mumbles looking down again. It was partly true she had gaps in her memory, she was friends with people she couldn't remember meeting, moments with Xipilli and Keldon were missing, important conversations, she couldn't really remember leaving the estate or how.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) runs his hand down her cheek "Come on" he whispers, puling her close "Try and remember me at least. What I know you felt for me." he rests his head on hers, wondering if he could compel her into anything.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley . Amara shakes her head again frowning before looking up at him. She could sense something trying to twist her mind, his Kitsune powers. She ponders briefly thinking about letting them take slight control, it would make it more believable and easier to. Amara let's the ideas partially into her mind but tries to make sure she still had a grasp on reality. She learns her head back against his, placing a hand on his shoulder.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) strokes Amaras hair, humming slightly to try and give the impression he was comforting her when he was actually trying to search her mind, looking for anything that would tell him if the spell had worked. He smiles, smugly, before glancing down at her hand on his shoulder. He couldn’t find anything.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley . Amara smiles watching him before softly kissing his cheek the block and his own powers successfully protecting her mind. Suddenly she wraps both her arms around him "I'm scared Kyson."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) kisses the top of her head and sighs suddenly finding a pair of arms round him "I know. Trust me I know." he whispers, leaning down to kiss her neck "Come with me. To my room."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley . Amara nods before letting him kiss her neck "I will...just please don't leave me." she replies. Her conscience battling with his Kitsune power, perhaps she had underestimated it, letting him in too much.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) nods as he stands up, offering her his hand "I will never leave you. Ever." he pulls her up and wraps an arm round her and leads her out of the room and down the corridor.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara nods letting him lead her, a soft smile on her face. Inside she frowns, wanting to run away, but it felt impossible, she was loosening control and needed to gain it back quickly.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) drops his arms from Amaras for a moment as he opens the door to his exquisite bedroom. A large king sized bed was in the middle of it. Kyson turns to her "Make yourself comfortable, dear. I need to just go to the little boys room." he smiles, kissing her deeply before disappearing to the bathroom.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley . Amara smiles kissing him back before watching him leave. Quickly she turns around looking down at her bracelet, a tear rolling down her cheek which she wipes away quickly. That was it, the bracelet was all that she needed to keep partially in control, a physical reminder. She sighs slightly wishing she was with Keldon, him whispering his nickname for her down her ear, if only she could remember what it was. Amara slips her coat off, hanging it over the back of a chair, the room was impressive but she took little notice of it. Amara walks over to the bed sitting just on the edge of it.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) chuckles to himself as he turns on the shower "Theres no one else here, just us two, Amara, dear." he grins to himself as he steps under the water.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley . Amara nods her stomach feeling queasy again at what he was suggesting "I...I know...but, this head ache is getting worse, I should probably rest." she replies looking down at her feet.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) frowns slightly "Theres some painkillers in the kitchen. I shall get you some when i finish in here." he call back through to her "Lay down and rest for now."
   <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara smiles to herself walking back across the room, keeping out of sight grabbing her dagger and the transportation box out of her coat pocket. Glancing over her shoulder hearing him in the shower she quickly grabs a pen and paper lying on his desk scribbling a note about going down to the kitchens. She easily pushes his Kitsune ideas from her mind glancing back quickly at her coat, she didnt want to leave it behind, being such a good fit and style but it would make the note look more believable. Amara glances at. The box in her hands, raising her eyebrows slightly confused before flipping the lid open, her current surroundings vanishing a white wall appearing in front of her. Amara stumbles slightly, falling onto her knees someone from above yelling her name, the voice and face familiar but the name escaping her. "Amara, Amara!" he yells before the gates begin to open and he runs towards her. She stands wrapping her arms around the man before passing out. Lancaster frowns placing a hand on her forehead, she felt warm, a little too warm. Quickly he picks her up, cradling her in his arms before making his way back to the house yelling for Xipilli and Keldon.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) steps out the shower and wraps a towel round himself as he makes his way to the bedroom. He stops, frowning as he glances round. Raising his eyebrows, he spots the not and heaves a sigh. She hadn’t escaped. He chuckles, glancing at her coat before shrugging and getting dressed and making his way downstairs to look for her, concerned as the house was silent. Kyson picks up the pace, panicking slightly as he tears from one room to the other, yelling Amaras name. He stops, placing her hands on his hips "The sneaky little with!" he roars, bounding back up the stairs, opening a connection between himself and his men, ordering them to hunt h her down and bring her back, no matter the cost.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley "Xipilli! Keldon! my LORDS!" Lancaster yells down the corridors and up the stairs as he carries Amara through the house heading towards her room. Xipilli appears out of his office his eyes wide as he sees Lancaster with Amara. "What happened?" he asks quickly as Lancaster softly places Amara down on her bed explaining that she had just appeared outside the gates. Xipilli nods rubbing his forehead, it had been about hours since she'd tried to contact him, the link lost and he'd began to fear the worst,
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) turns round on the spot, hearing someone yell Amaras name. He frowns, sensing something wasnt right before he starts heading back in the direction of the voices, dropping his drink as he runs. Skidding to a stop outside Amaras door he stares at her "Xipilli, Lancaster. Whats going on?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli shakes his head kneeling next to her on the bed as Lancaster takes a few steps back. "I don't know Kel....but I can't sense her, can't reach her mind..." he explains checking her pulse and breathing rate. She didnt appeared to be hurt in any way, there wasn't a mark on her. Xipilli frowns glancing over at Keldon "She just transported back here and passed out ."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) chews his lip, frowning "She went to see him. I can smell him on her." he growls, pacing the room "If he hurt her at all, if his hands touched her in any way..." he rants.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli nods watching as Amara stirs blinking up at him. She sits up quickly throwing her arms around him before letting go sliding across the bed and stands up watching Keldon. "Kel...” she states before falling back on the floor onto her knees her in her hands crying. Xipilli raises his eyebrows, as far as he could remember he'd never seen her act like this before.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) stops pacing and fixes his eyes on Amara, a small smile on his face. He starts to walk over to her as she falls to the floor. Kel sinks to the floor next to her, wrapping his arms round her "Hey, hey, shh its ok. You're home. With me. Nothings going to hurt you now." he whispers in her ear.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley . Amara shakes her head looking down at her hands before glancing through blurry eyes up at Keldon "My memories, half the stuff we've done, he's taken it, I can't remember...t-there's b-blanks Kel...I....I'm s-sorry." she mumbles and stutters shaking slightly "he g-got into my m-mind...Kitsune powers...he..he k-k...and was g-going to t-try....Keldon I'm sorry." she continues leaning her head onto his chest. Xipillis expression changes from concern to anger to a mix of both watching her.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) listens to Amara, nodding slightly "I know how some of that feels." he mutters, tightening her arms round her . He glances up at Xipilli before resting his head on Amaras and staring blankly at the wall, at a loss of what to do.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley . Amara shakes her head looking up at him "k-Kel no you dont understand...I, I can't remember you giving me my bracelet, where or when....I c-cant remember some people's n-names." she stutters glancing over at Lancaster "t-then there's other names...m-Madame P...but I...I don't know why I know it." she states placing a hand over her mouth. Xipilli frowns bending down next to Amara a hand on her shoulder, he blinks before looking up at Keldon "She's right, parts of her memory are gone...."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley -- down next to Amara a hand on her shoulder, he blinks before looking up at Keldon "She's right, parts of her memory are gone...."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sits up and tips Amaras chin up to look her in the eyes "I gave you that bracelet , Amara, instead of a ring." he rests his forehead against hers "In the forest a few months ago." he whispers, smiling slightly "Please remember." he sighs, kissing her "Other names, meaning more people?" he asks, glancing at Xipilli and Lancaster "What do you mean, gone?" he questions Xipilli "Can you get them back?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara nods the tears still rolling down her cheeks tightening her arms around him "K-Kel I'm sorry, I-I let him K-kiss me, something t-to do w-with the name, m-Madame p." she replies a fresh new wave of tears crashing over her again. Xipilli frowns brushing her hair to one side, noting a series of symbols down the back of her neck "Dark ancient magic Kel...he tried to erase her memory, but something must have gone wrong, that's why I've lost my link with her, this is what's she talking about....I'm not sure if anyone can Kel." he replies a sadness in his eyes as he watches Amara keeping one hand on her "but Kyson will pay for this, and his dark witch." he hisses through his teeth.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) glances over at Xipilli, frowning slightly "Madam P?" he mutters under his breath, keeping his eyes on Xipilli. Something in his head was telling him Xipilli knew this witch. Alarm bells were screaming in his head and he closes his eyes, trying to shut them off.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - nods a deep frown making its way across his forehead "Oh I've heard of her before..." he mutters darkly looking up at Keldon before glancing back down at Amara, slightly quieter  then she was before.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) snaps his head up to Xipilli, his eyes narrowed "Can I have a word with you. In private." he says, through clenched teeth, trying to keep himself calm.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - nods before standing up "Of course Keldon..." he replies with a slight sigh watching Amara crawl up onto her bed wrapping herself around a pillow.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) watches Amara and sighs as he walks over to kiss her cheek "I wont be long." he murmurs in her ear before he walks outside the room.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods slightly watching them leave. Lancaster bows slightly and quietly slips out of the room before Keldon and Xipilli. Xipilli shuts the door behind him turning to face Keldon "I know what this is about..." he comments watching him closely.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) glares at Xipilli, his arms folded "Oh you do, do you?" he snaps. "Care to share with me then?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - sighs again "My wife...she was the one who used a witch to pull you through to the Levels." he comments slipping his hands into his pockets.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) shakes his head "So you mean, you aren’t my father." he scoffs, more of a statement than a question "And no one stopped her from doing it?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - nods "I'm not Keldon...she did it behind my back, I didn't know until after the spell had been cast or I would have stopped her," he starts to explain his eyes fixed on Keldon "Thats why after you were pulled through I went and found you, took care of you as my own...because I felt responsible for what she had done."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) watches Xipilli closely "You went and found me, and took me in?" he questions, tilting his head "Why didnt you send me back? Did you not realise how upset my parents, my real parents, would be?" he walks round Xipilli as he talks "Maybe if you had send me back, we wouldnt be going to war and certain people wouldnt be here!"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - shakes his head trying to keep his eyes on Keldon "I didn't know how!" he remarks "I can't do magic and didn't want to risk approaching one of the sorcerers again." he states "Yeah maybe Keldon...or maybe I should have just left you there, but instead I tried to make good the situation!"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) rolls his eyes ”Really? you didnt want to risk a sorcerer?" he yells, glaring at him "DO you not realise that makes you as bad as her! Keeping a kid that isnt yours, and why? For the sake of your pride!" he laughs "There is a couple in this manor who has been searching for me for weeks, in their world. and you .." he stops, shaking his head "Pathetic." he scoff
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - laughs taking his hands out of his pockets "Pride? Many people here said I was weak keeping you, that it showed my vulnerabilities!" Xipilli starts "The Opulens themselves said they would dispose of you if I wanted. But I said no, I've only ever protected you here Kel!" he states his voice rising "pathetic?" he sneers looking Keldon up and down "is you, taking the people around you for granted."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs, throwing his hands in the air "So you would have maybe not have disposed of me like I was last weeks trash, but you kept me, lied to me all my life, lied to those around you." he starts "Im not pathetic. I take no one and nothing for granted. You taught me that." he growls slightly "When this war is over, me and Amara are leaving. Together."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - shakes his head "To protect you! From yourself and others who would want to use you, not that it actually worked in the end!" he replies before folding his arms "Good, make sure you remember that." Xipilli pauses and raises his eyebrows "You really think she'll leave with you, just like that? Where would you even go?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs slightly, folding his arms "PROTECT ME!" he yells "You didnt do that at all! You made things worse! I though you were my father, Xipilli, but you were a liar, a thief." he steps back "She will come with me where ever I go. I know she will because I would go with her in the same situation."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - nods watching Keldon "I was NEVER my choice!" he yells back "I'm used to protecting my lands, my employees! I'm a business man! I never wanted kids!" he continues before shaking his head "why are you still even here Keldon? If you hate me and the Levels that much, why even bother staying for the war?" he sneers taking a few steps forward "I gave you everything, taught you everything...but clearly thats not good enough for you...and if I were you I'd talk to Amara about leaving she may not be as willing as you."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) tilts his head, his darkened eyes fixed on Xipilli "Where would I go? Hmm I wonder. I wonder if there is anyone around here who are looking for me?" he taps his chin, his voice sarcastic "How will I ever know." he chuckles "Well now you will know what its like to not have kids." he sneers "One thing, Xipilli. Never tell your kids, biological or stolen, that you didnt want them!" he yells and walks back into the room and sits on the bed next to Amara, stroking her hair shakily.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - laughs listening to Keldon watching him walk off "Oh I know Keldon, and I've made a bad job of it in the past, I didn't want to be a father again, the first time I messed up badly really badly." he states before shrugging "I know you've always been curious as to why I'm so protective over Amara, why she trusts me so much as I do her… she’s my great-great granddaughter Keldon." he snaps leaning against the door frame watching them both.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) shakes his head, closing his eyes at Xipilli "We all make mistakes. Mistakes. That doesnt include making your own decision about keeping a stolen child." he mutters, kissing Amaras head "Shes what!" he sits up quickly.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - nods his eyes fixed on Amara "The only true blood family I have left. My master used my DNA to create a genetically enhanced child from scratch, it went wrong badly wrong, he was imprisoned for certain crimes, held in the securest prison here...I tried to help him, but nothing ever worked and he killed himself...then nearly three hundred years later, exactly twenty years ago from the present Amara's mother found her way here, heavily pregnant. I couldn't save the womens life but I used my DNA to stable Amara's, saving her life. She already shared part of my DNA...in connecting my mind to her I instantly knew who she was." he explains again shrugging slightly "And yes she knows all this..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) listens intently "She knows all of this? Why hasnt she shared it with me?" he wonders out loud, keeping his eyes on Xipilli"Again with the messing with peoples lives. Why, Xipilli? --
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden --Its wrong, dont you see?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - nods walking over slightly about to answer before Amara does for him. "Because he knew how I felt about you, Pilli told me you weren't his real son, the truth...us both being related to him would have been weird, even here..." she explains smiling up slightly at Keldon. Xipilli sighs and shrugs "I don't mean to do it Kel, my life was completely thrown around when I was your age, I guess..its just part of who I am...part of being in control."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) turns to face Amara, smiling slightly "You knew too?" he sighs "Who did know, apparently is a shorter list at this moment in time." he kisses her forehead "I dont know whats going on anymore." he sighs, sitting back on the bed.
 <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - nods sitting up before leaning her head on his shoulder. "There are a lot of things going on at the moment Keldon...mainly, I guess Kyson will be beginning to move his troops out to face us." he remarks and Amara nods "He wants the Estate too....as well as getting rid of the Opulens." she comments glancing up at him. Xipilli nods "Well then, lets give him a few surprises...Creven's sister is close to reopening the gates to the First Level where the Opulens will be sending some, unusual, support for us."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) watches them both closely as they talk, none of it making much sense. He looks at Xipilli, his eyes wide "His sister? As in ... my aunt?" he scratches his head.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) raises his eyebrows slightly "ph... Phoenix blood!" he exclaims, laughing slightly "Well, that doesnt sound out of the ordinary or anything."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - smiles and shakes his head "Just wait to see what shes bringing through the gateway with her." he comments and Amara sits up "You've got to be joking...the dragons?" she asks and Xipilli nods "The Opulens dont want the Second Level to fall into Kyson's hands, so yes they're sending the court dragons through to help us...I hope you can remembering the training you did with them?" he asks as Amara smiles and nods "Every second."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) bursts out laughing "You have to be kidding. Dragons, in the Levels." he shakes his head, chuckling still.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - nods and smiles "Well they had to leave the world your parents came from...what better place to come." he comments with a shrug.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sighs "Yes. Speaking of. Where are my parents?" he runs a hand through his hair "I mean, wheres Jem and Creven?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - nods "Call them your parents, for that is what they are." he comments before waving a hand "I haven't seen them recently, in the house somewhere though."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) frowns slightly "I left them in my bedroom. Jem seemed upset at something." he shrugs "I didnt ask what.”
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - nods listening to Keldon "Then I'm guessing that they are still there."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) nods slightly, sighing "I guess so." he utters, wrapping his arms round Amara again.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - softly kisses Keldon's cheek "I'm sorry." she whispers again looking up at him. Xipilli sighs a bleeping noise coming from his pocket, he pulls a small black device out of his pocket and exits the room quickly.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) shakes his head "You dont need to be sorry. Its my fault." he whispers, glancing over as Xipilli walks out the room. He turns back to Amara, tangling his fingers in her hair.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - shakes her head "No, I chose to go after him."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) rests his head on hers "You shouldnt have done though. I should have gone after him." he closes his eyes.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara) - sighs looking up at him "We will win this Kel...I know we will..Kyson will be killed and then we can actually get on with our lives..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) nods, laying his hand on Amaras stomach "We have to." he murmurs, tilting her head up to kiss her.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- glances down at his hand before letting him kiss her. She tightens her arms around his neck kissing back.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) slides his hand from her stomach to her back, pulling away slightly "I love you, you know that right." he murmurs.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- nods fixing her eyes onto his blushing slightly "Of course I do Kel," she replies "I love you too." she adds before softly kissing him again.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) chuckles, kissing her back, and leading her back over to the bed, his hands retangling in her hair.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-smiles letting him lead her back across watching him closly glad to be back.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) smiles down at her, picking her up, chuckling.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-laughs wrapping her arms around him "Oh Kel..." she whispers softly kissing his cheek.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laugh as he lays her down on the bed "Are you blushing?" he teases, bending down to kiss her again.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-giggles and smiles up at him "Yes...not done that for a while...I er...Think...£
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs, brushing her cheek with his hand "I know. You look adorable though when you do." he murmurs, looking deep into her eyes.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-smiles shrugging slightly "Well...thank you for the compliment Kel Dear."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) nuzzles her neck "You look adorable anyway" he chuckles, sitting up, his face hovering above hers.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-laughs running a hand down his cheek "And you are as...stunning and sexy as ever." she replies with a wink.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs, running a hand through his hair "Well what can I say" he winks down at her.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-laughs again before flicking his nose.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) blinks, shaking his head "What the.." he stutters, taken aback slightly before he starts tickling her.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-laughs kissing his nose before giggling.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs before rubbing her stomach again and letting out a low sigh.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- smiles placing her hand over his "Kel whats wrong?" she asks watching him carefully.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) shakes his head, smiling up at her before rolling over to lay next to her, keeping his hand on her "Nothing. Everythings perfect."
<GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- links her hand with his "What do you mean?" she asks looking down at their hands.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs, squeezing her hand "I mean, its perfect for us, for where we are. What would this place be if it were boring." he shrugs.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-blinks shaking her head "I'm not sure what you mean."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sighs "Never mind. Just me trying to take your mind off things."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- nods raising her eyebrows watching him before pouncing on top of him "You're good at that."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs, wrapping his arms round her "I can be even better." he winks up at her.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-laughs and nods "I know..." she replies before rolling back off him sitting up, a frown on her face.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) grins, before frowning as she rolls off him. He sits up "Whats wrong?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- shakes her head "I'm not sure..." she replies "I just...don't feel well."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) blinks and sits up quickly "Is it another one of your headaches again?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-shakes her head looking over at him "I'm not sure...I just feel, tired and...ill."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) stands up and starts fussing over her "Lays down. I will go get you something for it."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- shakes her head pushing him away "Kel stop fussing, I'll be fine...I'm sure its nothing."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) shakes his head "No Amara. Im not going to stop. We need to take things easy. For the baby's sake."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-blinks "What?" she states staring at him "The baby's sake? Kel what are you talking about?" she asks confused.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) blinks in rely "Amara. You're pregnant. Four weeks gone. We found out the other day. You dont remember?" he frowns.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-shakes her head "What? No...I-I don't Kel..." she replies shaking her head again.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sighs, running his hand through his hair "Its the truth Amara." he says quietly, laying his hand onh her stomach again.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-blinks watching him "I..." she starts before stopping placing a hand over his "Well, its just unexpected."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) chuckles slightly "Well thats exactly what you said when we found out." he hugs her tight, kissing the top of her head.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-nods pulling away, walking across the room looking at her hand on her stomach "What else did I say?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sighs, watching her "You said you didnt think you had a maternal bone i your body. I disagreed, said we would be fine." he smiles slightly "And we will be. I promise."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-laughs slightly and nods "Well thats what I was thinking..." she comments turning back to face him "Your sure? Who else knows?" she asks quickly before shaking her head "Kyson, please tell me he doesn't know...."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) chuckles and shakes his head "Only me and you know. We decided not to tell anyone just yet." he starts walking over to her "I dont think he knows. Its just us." he repeats.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-nods wrapping her arms around him "This is too much for right now Kel...it seems like everything is happening at once."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) wraps his arms round her, letting out a small sigh "I know it is. But we will get through it. I promise. This baby wont have the same upbringing I had. It will know who its parents are."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-nods kissing his cheek "Then we better make sure we both survive the next few weeks."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) picks her up and spins her round "I intend to keep us all alive." he whispers, kissing her."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-laughs tightening her arms around him "Good." she replies kissing him back "And by the way, the dragons Xipilli was talking about, aren't what you're expecting."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs, shaking his head "I wasnt expecting dragons at all to be honest."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- nods and smiles.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) smiles back, setting her back on the floor and taking her hand in his "Walk with me round the gardens."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- nods softly squeezing his hand "I'd love to." she comments walking over to the door.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) smiles at her and walks her through the manor and through the front door.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- smiles taking in a deep breath before looking up at Kel.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) smiles down at Amara "What?" he asks "I thought a bit of freash air would do you good."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-nods linking her arm around his "Its helping, a lot...thank you."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) smiles, glancing round as he wraps an arm round her, leading her to the pond. "Im doing my best."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-nods and smiles "Well...I think you'll make a great father...make up for all the mistakes I'll make."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sits down, pulling her down onto his knee "Hey, dont talk like that. You wont make mistakes."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-sighs sitting on him "Well...I hope not, but.."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) wraps his arms round her, laying his hands on her stomach again "But what? Come on, talk to me, Mara." he rests his chin on her shoulder.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-smiles leaning against him, placing her hands over his. "Well...I'm just...not sure I'm ready..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) raises his eyebrows "What do you mean?" he asks "Its a bit late now isnt it. You will be fine. We can do this."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- nods "Just nervous I guess...out of my comfort zone..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) grins "Well I bet you are handling it better than everyone else will when we tell them."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-nods "I'm not sure how I'll handle it when we tell everyone else...its doesnt really feel real."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) grins "Thats what you said the other day too." he laughs.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) grins "What am I going to do with you." he kisses her neck "Oh, I know one thing you can do, Keldon. You can give her to me." the voice called out from the other side of the pond.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-giggles giving him more access to her neck before gasping, staring out across the pond "Kel, did you hear that?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) freezes "I did, Mara. We need to get you inside" he whispers, standing up with her in his ars "Aww Keldon. Are you going to take her away." the voice calls out, closer now as Kyson walks round towards them, keeping hidden in the bushes for now "Thats no fun. I have a small bone to pick with her."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- nods her eyes still fixed across the pond looking for Kyson "How did he even get in here?" she whispers looking up at Keldon.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) shakes his head "I havent any idea." Kyson laughs, stepping out from the bushed and into view "Amara, dear. Why did you run away from me? I didnt do anything to hurt you." he mock pouts "Was it the bed? It was too big wasnt it?" he grins, glancing at Keldon.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- shakes her head "Stay away from me Kyson..." she yells tightening her grip on Keldon's hand.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) glares at Kyson "You, get away from her now." Kyson shakes his head "Nope. Shes mine, Keldon. And I wonder what everyone would say if they knew she was PREGNANT." he yells.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- shakes her head "You're wrong Kyson, I am not and never will be yours!" she yells before wrapping her arms around herself.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) keeps his eyes on Kyson, ushering Amara back in the direction of the house "No! She’s not yours." he says, calmly "She’s her own person. and do you mind not yelling our business about?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- starts to begin walking back towards the house. Ignoring Kyson and telling herself to keep calm.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kyson) shakes his head, folding his arms, a smug look on his face "I dont mind at all. And look, it seems I have a welcoming committee!" Keldon glances round to see Lancaster running over.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- grabs Lancaster's arm "Go and alert the rest of the guard." she states and he nods before running back a different way. "Kel, come on...leave him..." she remarks pointing back towards the manor.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) watches Lancaster runs back and he ushers Amara again "Kyson, why do you even bother?" he sighs, frustrated. Kyson laughs "Why not? Why would I miss an opportunity like this. She’s right here, for the taking. And the baby. Such fun."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-turns back around to face Kyson glaring at him "How dare you, after everything you tried to do to me!" she yells "Do not even talk about mine and Kel's child."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) grabs Amaras arm and drags her up to the manor "Stay away from us!!" he yells. Kyson takes a seat on the bench, crossing his legs, a smug look on his face.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-walks quickly letting Keldon guide her back into the house. Amara glances back over her shoulder and shudders.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) holds his breath until the door shuts "Mara, sweetie. I dont want you leaving the house alone, ok." he urges, guiding her back to the room "I think its about time we told them all about the baby." he sighs. Kyson keeps his eyes on the manor, his red eyes flickering from window to window.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)- nods wrapping her arms around him quickly "I won't argue over that...and are you sure?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) smiles at her, nodding "We have to, Mara. Im sure no one would have missed him yelling it out.""
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-nods looking up at him "Okay..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) glances round "Xipilli!" he yells as they walk "Its important! Kyson..." he yells as he makes sure Amara is comfy.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-nods watching Keldon as Xipilli comes running in through the door "Kel, Amara...Lancaster is ordering the guards to surround the walls...on the inside, whats happening?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) glances over at Xipilli, nodding "Yeah. Erm. something’s happened. Kysons on the grounds." he explains.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-glances up at Xipilli smiling slightly before placing her head into her hands. Xipilli stares at Keldon "How the hell did he get in? And what does he want?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sighs, running a shake hand through his hair "I ... I dont know. Xipilli. I thought this place was on lockdown. Nothing in or out." he starts, slipping her hand into Amaras.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Amara)-looks up quickly at Kel trying to smile and Xipilli nods "It is. there must be a breach in the mines or something..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) stares at Xipilli "A breach! Is there something being done about it? If he can get in, his men might too."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - nods glancing from Keldon to Amara "Course there is, there will be people out there now looking for the breach and they will try to seal it." he explains quickly and Amara nods ”It will be small though, for us not to have already detected it, every able hand has been sent out to search, at least those I don't need guarding the walls."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sighs, shoving his hands in his pockets "But.. but.." he starts and shakes his head "Never mind. Im going to go and help. I cant sit here and do nothing." he kisses Amaras forehead  and nods once at Xipilli before he turns on his heels and waks out, turning round just to say "Dont let her out of your sight, Xipilli."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley (Xipilli) - nods placing a hand on Amara's shoulder "I won't, just be careful Kel..." he comments watching Keldon walk away. Amara folds her arms watching Keldon before turning around to face Xipilli "So, now it begins, exactly how it was foretold..." she comments looking up at Xipilli who nods slightly, a crooked smile on his face "So it does."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) walks out the front door and stares round. He catches sight of something moving across the other side and slowly walks towards it. He laughs as he recognises Lancaster and his men, deciding to walk a few steps behind them for now.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Lancaster smiles slightly at Keldon before returning to face his men pointing certain groups in different directions. Some scaling the walls, others into the mines, different sections trying to cover the whole of the Estate in the shortest time possible. He had trained his men for a moment like this, but always found the real thing different to a drill, urgency really playing its part more now than before. Already he had a few ideas where the breach could be and had sent teams out to check on the possibilities.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) nods at Lancaster, holding his hands up to indicate he wasnt going to get in the way. He scans the area, flicking between the groups, watching where they had disappeared to before he frowns, walking towards the trees.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Lancaster nods to Keldon again before waving away the last remaining men, following a few himself out towards the mines.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) scouts around the edge of the trees before ducking into the thickness of the forest, picking up a familiar scent. He whistles shrilly a few times as he spots the back of a familiar head.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Lancaster follows the last group up to the most eastern mines, using the estates horses to quicken their progress. The line in front slows slightly as a young boy comes running down "Its been found...Lancaster Sir! We've found the breach. A group of our people are currently fighting off the attacks, from outside the breach so those inside can seal it!" he screeches and Lancaster nods looking ahead at the gaping black entrance of the mine. Carefully but quickly he demounts placing a hand on the boys shoulder "Take me to it, the rest of you follow suit Mr Tegan, take word back down to the Manor." he orders, one man nodding and quickly turning, the rest securing the horses and following Lancaster and the boy into the mine.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) stares at the back of Kysons head and takes a few steps closer, unsheathing his knife as he does. Kyson shakes his head "Dont be silly, boy." he utters, just loud enough to echo around the area. Keldon freezes "I wasnt going to do anything." he starts as Kyson laughs, standing up. Kel hides his dagger quick as Kyson turns to face him, a jagged scar across his neck. Kel raises an eyebrow. Kyson smirks, pointing to his neck "Oh you saw this did you? Nice present from your mother. I will repay that favour soon." Kel shakes his head "You have to get through me first." he snarls "Oh thats easy, Keldon, my boy." Kyson laughs and takes a few steps closer to him. Keldon chuckles before hissing slightly, his vampire side coming out, something that hadn’t happened for a while "I heard what happens when a vampire turns a Kitsune, Kyson. Now, I know you aren’t fully a Kitsune anymore. I wonder what would happen if I got to you before Lancaster and his men can, and take you out." Kyson grins "Bring it on." he taunts s Keldon leaps at him, reaching for his dagger and plunging it deep into Kysons neck and twisting. Kyson lets out a scream, followed by a gurgling sound "So ferocious, Keldon." he chokes, shoving the boy off him and shakily standing up. Kyson pulls the dagger out of his neck slowly, watching the look on Kel’s face as the wound heals "Well, looks like someone has got some hidden talents." Kyson winks as Keldon starts to back off. He knew he couldn’t take down Kyson on his own, even with his training. He was going to need back-up. Quickly he turns and fights his way out of the trees and back to the open space where he had left Lancaster, glancing round quickly for any signs of them.
<GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Lancaster follows the boy through a small crack concealed on the right hand side of the mine, leading down a small tunnel, just big enough for one person to pass through with others following Lancaster squints slightly having to hold his torch down, a easier position than holding it up to reveal the passageway ahead. "It opens up just before the exit, which appears to be next to join where the Estates wall meets the rock face of the side of the mines." the boy explains and Lancaster nods beginning to hear sounds coming from a space in front of them. As more natural light begins to flood into the passageway the sounds become clearer, people yelling orders, clashes of steel on steel, people in pain, barking. Lancaster squares his shoulders slightly as he passes into a larger space, the entrance to the outside just in front, a small gap, like a window showing a scene of battle, Xipilli's people with the added extra of Omar trying to hold off Kyson's men from the opening. Quickly Lancaster ducks down next to one of his generals, who appeared to be arming a set of explosive devices. "I want an update Johnson, and quickly." he states, his eyes flicking back over to the entrance as Omar pulls an injured man through. "Its not going to well Sir, our only option is to collapse this tunnel in multiple locations, the rest of the rock surrounding this area is secure, this seems to be the only breach on this side." the man says quickly, his eyes not leaving his delicate work "This is the last set of explosives, I've already set the others on the walls further down, we can detonate as soon as this is done." he continues and Omar laughs "Yeah but we can't leave before then, or some will get through, the process will take too long, and they have reinforcements on the way, we need to detonate now, get everyone out of here, I'll hold them off which the process starts." he states wiping a cut on his left cheek. Lancaster shakes his head "How can there be a delay, it should be an instant detonation." he remarks frowning. His general looks up and shakes his head "We can use instant detonation, it will kill everyone in this tunnel and risk a mine collapse creating other breaches." he explains "Omar if you stay, they will kill you..." he continues looking up at Omar who nods "A risk I'll take...this estate needs to be secured, and secured properly, we cant risk other breaches in the mines....I can hold them off giving you the time to seal this breach." he explains and Lancaster nods seeing the military strategy of his plan. "We'll go with your plan then Omar...how much time Johnson?" he asks looking directly into Omar's eyes, admiring the mans courage. "Well I'm done here, we can begin detonation in five minutes, we will start with the inner tunnel, there’s three detonations in total, if the first is successful I'll immediately start the other two." he explains as the other two nods. Omar holds a hand out to both "An honour serving with the both of you, send my regrets to Creven my services to him end now, regretful but necessary." he states before saluting in the small space and turns back to the entrance slipping through sending the men who didn't want to stand with hi back through to the tunnel. Lancaster nods watching him and nods before ushering his returning men through and down the passageway away from the battle and to safety. Crouching to the entrance of the tunnel Johnson finalises his work, connecting three wires into a small black box, he glances up at Lancaster who nods before flicking the first switch. The two men brace themselves against the mine walls coughing slightly at the dust while a third quickly tests the rock stability, Johnson receives a quick nod and flicks the two remaining switches one after the other with a five minute delay between the detonations, giving the rock time to settle a little. Lancaster leads the way back out of the tunnel leaving a set of guards to keep watch incase the detonations didn't work properly and heads back towards the manor.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden Keldon snaps his head round, hearing yells in the distance. He turns and starts running in the direction of the noise. Jem snaps her head up, her vampire hearing picking up the sound of metal on metal. Pushing Creven off her, she darts to the window, snarling before dashing from the room, no explanation to her husband. She appears next to her son and lays her hand on his shoulder "Keldon, dont you even think about it. you think I want to loose you now we have just found you." she whispers in one breath. "Aww so touching." a voice mutters from behind her. Jem jumps, before spinning round, her actions followed by her son. She grabs Kyson, wrapping her hand round his throat. Keldon lays a and on her "Its no good, mother. I tried to hurt him already. He can heal. Jem scoffs "What a surprise. anything so you dont die again." Jem lays her hand on Kysons chest "Would you still live if I tore out your heart, right here and now?" Kyson grins, eerily "Maybe. But then I couldnt call off my men could I?" he winks at them both. Kel drops his hand and takes a few steps back "Mother, please. Leave him be. Let Lancaster and his men have him. Leaving him to rot in a cell sounds like a punishment." Jem shakes her head, tightening her grip "Leave him? To them? After what he has done to Marriah! My daughter? Your sister, Kel! He has her somewhere." Kyson lets out a small gurgling laugh "Yes I do. Locked up. No food or..." he chokes, cut off at Jem wraps her other hand round him, in full fight mode, her vision only on him, the only sounds she wanted to hear were his, begging to be spared "Tell me where Kyson." she hisses "Why?" he rasped "So you're little group can try and rescue her. Not going to..." he gasps, as Jems grip tightens, the flow of oxygen almost cut off. Kel shakes his head, chuckling slightly as he turns round, a sense of being watched.  He shakes his head, shrugging slightly at the person stood at a middle window. His father. Returning his gaze to his mother, ho seems to have lost control, he whispers in her ear "Im going to help." before disappearing. It seemed Jem could handle herself. Kysons eyes follow Keldon as he disappears and his hands move to cover Jems on his throat "Dont even think about it. We both know I can take you out with one small movement. It will only kill you temporarily, healing or not, but it will do for me. For now at least." She moves one of her hands from round his neck and slowly shoves it into his chest, curling her elegant fingers round his beating heart and digging her nails in. "No healing." she sneers in his ear, the words he had repeatedly told Lea as he tortured her. Kyson gasps, dropping to his knees "Call them off." she orders "Or it could get messy." she waits, for an answer. Nothing "Fine. You asked for it." she grins pulling her hand from his chest, his heart with it. She watched as it stopped beating, the warm blood dripping down her hand and up her arm. "Well I suppose I better call them off." she hums to herself, taking the small ear piece from Kysons ear. She coughs once, and takes on his voice "Men, fall back. Abort it. Dont ask questions." she barks the order and drops the ear piece on the floor, crushing it under her foot before turning round to face the manor, beaming.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Lancaster freezes on the spot watching Jem and Keldon before running over. He stops glancing between them before staring down at Kyson "Effective...I hope." he comments looking up at the manor watching Xipilli, Amara and Creven come running out across the lawn together. "What’s happening?"Amara asks watching the others and Lancaster walks across to Xipilli "The breach is sealed Sir." he comments and Xipilli nods.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden glances up at Lancaster and shrugs slightly "Knowing him, probably not. But it will be good enough for now, I guess." she glances over at Amara, Xipilli and Creven before hugging Kel, averting her eyes from them all.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven smiles watching Jem and Keldon before nodding "We burn the body now...may help...or be interesting to see how he gets out of this one." he states before glancing around, Lancaster’s men returning "Where's Omar?" he asks glancing around again. Lancaster clears his throat looking from Xipilli to Creven "Dead Sir...most likely anyway, he helped to hold off the advancing men on Kyson's side as we detonated the tunnel to seal the breach." Creven nods listening before looking down.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden raises her eyebrows at Creven <Burning didnt work last time...> she stops and stares at Lancaster, open mouthed "No.. dont say that." she mutters, dropping her arms from round Keldon "He cant be dead. He... He..." she shakes her head and walks over to Creven, wrapping her arms round him tight.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven hugs Jem back and nods up at Lancaster who speaks again "He told me to tell you that it had been an honour, but he could no longer serve you." he repeats Omar's words and Creven nods again "He was a good man." he states looking up at Lancaster before glancing around "Whats next?" he asks looking over at Xipilli. "We send out our troops, try to find our fallen and take out a few more of Kyson's men."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden lets out a small sigh, laying her head on Creven’s shoulder "If you want to get those who havent fallen back, maybe we should go now." she mutters "Jem." the voice appears, seemingly scolding her "Jem. That was reckless. What would you have done if he had managed to attack you?" Jem shakes her head "He didnt, so its ok." she hisses before waving him away and standing back up "Where to Lancaster?" she half smiles, keeping an arm round Creven.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Creven blinks watching Jem seemly talk to herself. Xipilli smiles watching Jem before pointing in the direction of the main gates "We take Alpha section with us, through the gates, Beta in reserve just inside." he states and Lancaster nods before walking off quickly starting to arrange his men. Amara walk across to Keldon placing a hand on his shoulder.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods at Lancaster and frowns slightly up at Creven "Whats wrong? You look confused." she glances back at Lancaster "And what about us? What do we do?" she asks. Kel smiles slightly at Amara, glancing down at the body in a heap where it had fallen. He wraps an arm round her and pulls her closer to him.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli waves his hand over the body "Light a match and do it quickly...we will be getting reserves through the main Levels gates very soon." he explains before beginning to walk in the same direction as Lancaster. Amara softly kisses Keldon's cheek nodding at Xipilli before smiling and glancing up slightly.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods her head and pulls her matches from her pocket, strikes one up and watches the flame for few seconds before flicking it onto the body. She turns back to Lancaster "You didnt answer my question. What about us?" she repeats. Kel grins at Amara, watching his mother closely before pulling Amara away from the group.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Lancaster glances over his shoulder at Jem and shrugs "Follow us if you wish, but I cannot guarantee your protection." he shouts over to them before continuing to walk away with Xipilli ordering different men in different directions, both heading towards to main gate. Creven watches the flames before looking down at Jem "You would be safer here."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs slightly and starts to follow Lancaster and Xipilli before stopping mid step and staring at Creven, folding her arms "And let me guess. You are going too?" she half snaps at him "You get to go and I have to stay here and be a good girl. Did no one see what I just did? I just ripped his heart from his chest. And what do I get? A thank you? No. A pat on the back? No. I get told to stay here. Its safer." she shakes her head, not moving "Im not a porcelain doll Creven. I wont break easily. You should now this by now." Kel leads Amara back to the manor, out of the way.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven frowns and nods before taking her hand and leading her in the same direction as Xipilli and Lancaster"Fine, come one then.! he states. Amara shakes her head stopping "Wait, we should be helping them Kel."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden raises her eyebrows at Creven as she gets led after Xipilli and Lancaster "Really? Finally seeing my point of view, love." Kel shakes his head "No. Im not having you in danger. You cant." He rubs Amaras stomach "You cant be in danger. Not right now."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven smiles and shrugs slightly "Well..." he remarks before winking and catching up with Xipilli and Lancaster. Lancaster ordering his men into line in front of the gates. Amara nods slightly "I know, Kel...I know, but I could still help." she comments.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden tries not to smile as they catch up with Xipilli and Lancaster. Jem quickly ties her hair up and out of her face, winking back up at Creven "Glad you finally came round." she nudges him before turning serious and listening to the instructions. Kel takes Amaras face in his hand gently "No. You have to stay safe. I’m going to stay with you. WE can go do research or something. See if there is anything on Kyson and his men that everyone might have missed." he smiles, kissing her passionately.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven nods letting go of Jem's hand before walking over to Xipilli, standing at his side watching as the men complete the lines, checking their weaponry and amour. Amara nods smiling at Keldon before kissing him back "Xipilli has a folder on Kyson and his men in his office, detailing what they have been doing, their numbers etc."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden keeps her eyes on Xipilli and Lancaster as they talk, rolling her eyes slightly as she feels eyes on her, looking her up and down. She tuts a few times, shaking her head, but grinning slightly over at her husband, nodding slightly to the men behind her. Kel chuckles slightly "Of course he does. I will go get it. You go to the room and make us some drinks and I will get some food sent up." he smiles.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli glances over at Creven and nods "We move out in ten." he comments before resuming his conversation with Lancaster. Amara smiles again at Keldon and nods "I'll be there!" she comments before heading into the direction of the kitchens.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shoves her h ands in her pocket and moves closer to Creven, slightly nervous. She slides her arm back round him Ten minutes." she sighs slightly, biting her lip. Kel nods, smiling at her as she leaves before heading in the direction of Xipilli’s office and walking through the door to his desk and shuffling through the stack of papers and files strewn on it.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven nods before looking back out over the mass of people, he takes a deep breath before closing his eyes running a hand through his hair. Amara smiles watching Keldon before grabbing two cups of coffee and heading into one of the drawing rooms. She takes a seat after placing the mugs on the table and runs a handle gently over her stomach before sighing and taking a sip of her drink.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden watches Creven, sighing as well. She reaches up and lays a hand on his cheek "Hey, come on. It will be ok." she smiles, trying to reassure him as well as herself. "We can do this. I promise." she runs her fingers through his fringe, not used to seeing this side of him. Jem stands on her tiptoes, kissing him. Kel finds the file and after a quick read through of it, he heads out the office and down to the kitchen. He chats to the cook, asking her to make something for himself and Amara and to bring it to where they were before smiling at her and walking out to find Amara.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven nods opening his eyes looking down at Jem "I know we can, its not that." he comments before turning his attention back to the men. Amara sips her cup again glancing over at the door waiting for Keldon to reappear.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden frowns slightly "If its not that, then what is it?" she asks, confused. Kel walks into the room and sees Amara sat there. He puts the files on the table and sits next to her on the sofa "I have the files. They re interesting to say the least." he laughs slightly.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven shakes his head "Nothing, just got some...memories coming back." he states looking away from her. Amara smiles watching Keldon before nodding "I bet...what did they say?" she asks quickly before sliding Keldon's cup across to him.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden pulls a face and opens her mouth to ask more and decided against it. She didnt want to pry further when it was obvious he wasnt going to share anything. "Fine." she mutters, mainly to herself. Kel picks up his cup and takes a sip "Well where to start. Seems like he has been doing a lot of background checks on Kyson and his little cronies." he picks up the file and offers it to Amara "Have a read."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven nods his eyes still fixed on Xipilli’s men. Amara nods and smiles again "Sounds like typical Xipilli." she comments taking the folder and flicking through it.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden lances round, her eyes landing on Xipilli’s men. She shuffles on her feet awkwardly as her eyes scan over each of them, taking in every detail on their faces. Kel sighs and leans back "Apparently so." he says, watching her closely.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven continues to watch as the gates begin to open, the first lines of men start to walk through. Amara laughs again at him before continuing to read through the file. "He was nearly able to pin point their base, Xipilli knows they're numbers, some of their battle plans."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden freezes on the spot as the gates start to open, watching the men walk through. Kel laughs again "Well why doesnt that surprise me. He gets his mind on one thing then sees it through. Thoroughly to the end." he glances away from Amara. "Not just with the bad guys." he mutters.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven nods to Xipilli before beginning to follow him over to the side of the gates "I'm taking a horse through, perfer to be mounted on these occasions, I'll see you on the other side." Xipilli explains before grabbing the reigns of a jet black horse and mounting swiftly. Creven nods with a smile "That you will." he comments before turning back to face Jem "Ready?" Amara frowns slightly before nodding.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden takes a deep breath and tries to move slowly. She takes a small step forward, jumping at the sound of Creven's voice. She glances up at him, her eyes flickering from blue to red as she nods a few times "As ready as I will ever be." she mutters under her breath, trying to stop her voice from shaking "All the training I have had..." she adds, scoffing at herself. Kel shakes his head, leaning into his hands "What else does it say?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven smirks slightly and nods before softly kissing her. He winks once then takes his fox form, violet tipped tails held high as he runs out of the gates his eyes fixed on the back of Xipilli's horse. Amara looks up at Keldon handing it back across "Read it for yourself."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles, closing her eyes as she kisses him back. Jem opened her eyes just in time to see him take on his fox form and dart out of the gate. She lets out a laugh, shaking her head as she follows Xipilli’s men out the gate. Kel takes the folder and stares at the open page. "Pros and cons of all Kysons men? How the hell does Xipilli know all this? What the hell is he playing at?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven joins Xipilli at his side, running low next to the horse. Both of them fixed on the lines of people standing in front of them, a flag with Kyson's sigil being held by a man in the middle Amara nods sipping her drink trying to hide a smile "Good questions..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden bites her lip, trying to see over the top of the men in front of her. She sighs, grumbling and gives it up as a bad job and starts pushing hr way through them instead. Kel scoffs, flicking through the folder "Has he got someone on the inside or is he just.." Kel stops, his eyes wide "Hes going to lead them all to be killed."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven fixes his eyes on his first target waiting for a signal to be giving from Xipilli to begin the attack. Amara shrugs looking away from Keldon quickly "He wants to wipe out everyone who isn't on his side in this."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden reaches the front of the group, among murmurs and tuts from the men. Ignoring them, her eyes scan the group of Kysons men and she rolls her eyes <Ever so dramatic> she snorts. Kel shakes his head “Dont you see? He wants new recruits. See how these are set into different groups? Not just pros and cons?" he shuffles the papers over the table, sorting them out. "They seem to be all higgledy piggledy to anyone who was to take the folder and didnt know Xipilli. But to the trained eyes, look. They are all set into power groups. The ones who will bring him stronger allies are at the back, more detailed than the others"` he explains. .
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli brings the group to a stop eyeing the group opposite them, his people all waiting for his word. Amara nods looking down at the table before taking the rest of the folder from Keldon's hands, she flips through the last few pages before hugging the folder to her chest looking down at the table again.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden glances at Xipilli, waiting for the time to strike. It wasnt going to be easy. In the time they stood waiting, Jem had picked out three she could take down. She flashes a grins at them one by one, taunting them. Kel raises an eyebrows at Amara "Arent you going to say something? Or did you already know about this?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven paws at the ground, he could already smell blood, imagined blood but real, from his memories. Amara shakes her head "I'm not sure what to say Kel...Xipilli wants the least casualties on his side...and wants more people to join, including Kysons men..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden slips over and lays her hand on Creven’s head. She could see he was agitated at something. Jem kneels down, whispering in his ear "Please dont get yourself hurt." She glares back over at the other side, staying kneeled down, ready to pounce. Kel stands up and paces the room "Amara! Seriously! He is willing to let them join?!" he yells, running his hand through his hair "No. Just... no!"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli raises a hand before lowering it quickly. At the same instant Xipilli and his men begin to advance forward at a run, Creven beside them. Amara nods watching Keldon "Yes...his plans are bigger than what you know, what you expect." she states looking down a the folder.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden lets her hand fall from Crevens head as Xipilli makes the signal. She pounces on the first man she had spotted and shoves her hand deep into his chest, ripping his heart out , the same as she had done to Kyson. Jem throws his heart deep into the crowd of people in front of her and ducks as a dagger flies in her direction. Scanning the area quickly, she head in the direction it had come from, taking down three more men down on her way. Kel watches Amara closely "And you werent going to tell me this?I get that you have to keep it all a secret from everyone else, Amara. But me? Im the father to the baby inside you. Arent I?" he questions.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli's men all produce crystals holding them up against the advancing troops of Kyson's. They pauses before either continuing on to fight or turning around to fight their own people. Creven keeps close to Xipilli, taking on any who turn and try to fight against Xipilli, mainly jumping up ripping throats up or going for their legs casuing them to fall. -- Amara shakes her head again "I'm not supposed to know...I found out by accident, Xipilli doesn't know I know...and of course you're our baby's father!" she yells back at him. <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden glances over at Xipilli. Seeing he was protected, Jem carries on, going for the neck on the next dozen ment that tried to take her down, underestimating her as many usually did. Kel folds his arms, smirking slightly "Really, you find something out by accident and you still dont tell me? You seem to know an awful lot about this Amara." he states, calmly.
<GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli and his men continue in the same pattern, Kyson's men splitting, some fleeing from the scene watching as their own people suddenly begin to turn on him. Amara nods and sighs "I didn't know how to tell you Kel! He's wants more power and knows that if we are successful over Kyson that the Opulens will give him total control over the second Level..
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden glances up briefly, wiping blood from round her mouth as she watches some of Kysons men disappear. She lets out a laugh "Cowards! Just like he was!" she yells after them, before dancing about, taking her dagger out and slashing it into anyone who dared come close to her. Kel sighs, sitting back down again "I dont know what to say anymore, Amara." he sighs.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli laughs leaning forward and patting his horse before commanding his men back up to the gates, all bar a small group to chase after those retreating "Kill any you can, but don't go beyond the woods, the return here!" he commands as a group of ten men including Creven run off into the distance. Amara shuffles slightly closer to Keldon "He's an ambitious man, what else did you expect?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden coughs and stands up, watching the men run off before walking over to Xipilli and stroking his horse with the hand that wasnt covered in blood. She doesnt say anything but just watches for their return. Kel shrugs "Recruiting men from the other side? Even I didnt think he would do that."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli smiles down at Jem "Nice work..." he comments looking behind him "Our numbers seem to have also increased." he smiles again. Amara places a hand on Keldon's knee "He's giving them the choice, a physcotic, blood thirsty leader...or someone who is fair and just!"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden glances up at Xipilli slightly "Thanks. Not my best work to be honest, but it was fun." she glances behind her and gasps "Wow." she exclaims at the large crowd, seemingly doubled in size. Kel sighs again "Well. They dont seem to have bloodv thirsty leader anymore, so they dont seem to have a choice right now do they."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli smiles and nods "Rather...people changing their loyalties, preferring me over Kyson." he explains with a shrug. Amara shakes her head "They probably don't know that yet."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden rolls her eyes "Personally I would prefer Hades himself over Kyson. And I have had that experience." she laughs slightly, turning to face front again "Whats taking so long?" she mutters. Kel shrugs "Maybe not. There might be repercussions from it when they do find out."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli laughs before shruging "Don't worry, they'll be back soon enough." he comments. Amara shrugs "Maybe, but then again, a lot of them will just feel free...Kyson won't be able to threaten them or their families anymore."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden laughs too, although it seemed more of a nervous laugh "I hope so." she continues to stroke the horse. Kel nods slowly "I suppose that true." he takes her hand in his, resting his forehead on hers "Im sorry I yelled." he whispers.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli nods watching as Creven and all of the others return. Creven smiling and laugh patting on of the others on the back, his shirt ripped and covered in blood, hair messy. Amara smiles softly kissing him "Its okay kel..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden snaps her head round at the sound of a laugh and sighs before seeing Creven covered in blood. Her feet refuse to let her move as she watches him. He didnt seem to be hurt. Kel chuckles, kissing her back, his hands tangling in her hair.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli smiles watching the others return ordering the rest back inside "Nice job guys..." he comments as they get closer. Creven laughs before smirking "All in less than a days work!" he comments before letting his eyes fall on Jem "Nice working Sweet Jem." he whispers as he wraps his arms around her.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden drops her hands to her sides, biting her bottom lip as they get closer, her eyes not focussing on anyone properly. She gasps, smelling the blood right under her nose and pair of familiar arms around her as her knees buckle slightly, wrapping her own arms back around her husband "It was nothing." she breathed in his ear.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven tightens his arms around Jem before softly kissing her neck. "Umm, I'm sure it was." he comments his voice soft. Xipilli smiles watching them before leading the others back inside.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nips at his ear "Stop it. Theres people here." she giggles slightly "Although that ripped shirt might have to come off." she grins, kissing down his neck "Are you sure you arent hurt?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven smirks and shrugs "Well...soon they won't, or we can just go somewhere that they aren't." he comments before shaking his head "Hurt? not at all, in fact I feel better than normal!" he explains before scooping her up into his arms.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden runs her hands through his hair, ruffling it up even more before throwing a glance over her shoulder, giggling slightly "That sounds like a plan to me." she winks, pressing her lips against his neck again, kissing up until she reached his lips, squealing slightly as he scooped her up <Take me away from here.>
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven smiles blinking down at her, his eyes deep bright violet. <Gladly, I know a great spot within the Estate grounds.> he replies walking back through the gates heading off to the side past the pond and up into the woods.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden bites her lip as she stares into his eyes <Oh, you do? Had time to scope out the area have you?> she giggles, winking as she lays her head against him, letting him carry her away.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven nods and smiles finding a secluded spot behind the trees before softly placing Jem down on her feet softly running a hand down her cheek "I haven't killed like that for years...it feels...well I can't explain how it feels!"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden grins, leaning into his hand, wrapping her arms round him and pulling him closer to her "You dont have to stop doing it, you know. When we go back home." she whispers
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven takes a step back "What?" he replies blinking "I should though...here I have an excuse...at home, things are different."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head, dropping her arms from round him "No. Its part of you, Creven. I should never have said how worried it made me." she explains, taking a step closer to him.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven blinks and shakes his head again "You've never seen me like this before, it reminds me of something in my past...something powerful, meaning full-" he stops quickly looking at her "Something that only half of me regrets."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden frowns at him "What do you mean?" she watches him "I dont ..." she starts and shakes her head "Tell me? I dont understand." she sits down on the grass, leaning her back against the tree, patting the space next to her, indicating for him to sit down.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven paces slightly before her running a hand through his hair the other down his shirt before slipping what was left of it off his shoulders "Not now, not yet or here..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden watches him with concern on her face, sighing slightly. She blinks, her eyes running down him, small grin on her face as she nods "Later, when we go home." she smiles sweetly at him, understanding now wasnt the time or place for what he had to tell her.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven nods before sitting down beside her. "Yes." he replies simply.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods, laying her head on his shoulder and slipping her hand into his "At least you got rid of that blood stained shirt." she jokes, poking him playfully.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven smiles wrapping an arm around her "True...and Kel's right, these woods are really nice." he comments kissing her cheek softly.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden laughs, slipping herself onto his knee "Its so quiet, peaceful." she murmurs, closing her eyes.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven nods softly kissing her forehead "I know, especially after all that back there." he comments, his voice soft.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden shakes her head, brushing her lips against his "I dont want to talk about that. Its the past. This is me and you time. Something we havent had for a while."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven smiles kissing her back gently "True, and I doubt it will last for long, Xipilli is recruiting Kyson's men, Lea is supposed to be opening the gate to the First Level soon."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden sighs, resting her forehead against his "Peace and quiet will be over then." she chuckles, running her hand down him.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven nods again tightening his arms around her "When we get home things will be different...I'm passing over my Kitsune duties to Kana and his family, they will be better at leading than me."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden blinks, staring at him "What? Why would you do that? Its your heritage, Creven. You cant just hand it over."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven shrugs "To spend more time with you and the kids...I know its my duty but, well I'll think about it."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods slowly, confused "It doesnt mean you cant go back, you know." she smiles slightly "We can work together." she winks.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven smiles down at her "You sure?" he asks kissing her again.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods, grinning "Theres only one thing I have ever been more sure of in my life, my love. And thats how I feel about you." she whispers, kissing him deeper.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven nods and smiles again leaning his head against hers "Well...I'll just have to persuade my people to trust you...to be honest I dont really have to do much, our council rule mainly I just agree or disagree with things, and keep up traditions, look good, that kind of thing."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods, listening "I hope they trust me. What if they dont?" she lowers her head, hoping it wouldnt come to that before she looks up, flashing him a grin "Well, walking round like you are now, shirtless and rugged, who could deny you dont look good." she winks.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven laughs and shrugs "We'll come to that problem if we have to." he says before laughing again.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden giggles slightly, blushing "Well, you cant deny it either." she teases him, poking him again, before wrapping her arms round his neck, resting her head back on his shoulder, pressing light kisses on him "I love you."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven chuckles at her before returning her kiss "I love you to, my sweet Jem." he comments before glancing around "We should probably go soon."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden smiles, still kissing his neck, nodding "I guess so." she sits up and takes her hair down, letting it fall over her shoulder "I could stay just here forever."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven smiles running a hand through Jem's hair "I could do with a shower...I know theres a really nice double sized one in our rooms in the manor." he comments with a wink.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden raises her eyebrows "Oh there is, is there?" she laughs "So why are we sat here, all dirty and covered in blood." she holds her blood covered hand out "When we could be in there." she wiggles her eyebrows, before kissing him deeply again.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven laughs before standing up offering her his hand "Why indeed..." he replies with another wink.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden takes his hand and pulls herself up, falling into him, laughing slightly "You, my love, are terrible sometimes." she giggles "Not that Im complaining in the slightest" she laughs as she starts running back to the manor "Bet you cant catch me" she calls out before disappearing, her giggles echoing.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven laughs watching her run off before following quickly. He catches up with her scooping her up into his arms spinning her around before continuing to walk towards the manor, heading directly to their rooms.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden giggles, squealing as she wraps her arms round him, lowering her voice as she was carried to their room "Shh. If they know we came back, they might call us in for something." she whispers laying her finger on his lips "I need a drink."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven smiles and laughs quietly "True point, but something tells me they won't." he replies as he opens the door to their rooms.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden giggles, kicking the door shut behind them "Finally! Our own little private sanctuary." she laughs, locking the door for good measure, wiggling her eyebrows.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven nods and laughs leading her across the room to the ensuit "Perfect." he comments simply. - Amara stands up quickly glancing out of the window "They're back Kel...they've won!" she states pointing excitedly out of the window.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden laughs, shaking her head "Shh, no talking." she grins, kissing him. Kel jumps up, running to the window "Wow. They did it. They actually did it."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara nods and smiles "Only Xipilli could come back from a battle with more men than what he went with."she comments with a smile looking up at Keldon.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs slightly, glancing at the files on the table "Maybe we should go meet them. And then I can take this folder back to his office." she hugs her tight. kissing her forehead.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara nods kissing him back "I'll meet you downstairs then in a few." she comments with a smile before heading out of the room to find Xipilli and Lancaster.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) nods, smiling and watching her leave before gathering the papers from the table and placing them back in the file in the same order. Kel drains his cup and darts out of the room, down to Xipilli’s office and placing the folder back on the table, under the others where he found it and exiting the office quickly.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara walks into the living room downstairs and is presented by a glass of Champaign by Lancaster. "Amara! Well first success to us, our numbers have grown, it appears Kyson's men are even less loyal to him than I expected!" he remarks hugging her quickly "Fantastic news then...castulties on our side?" she asks quickly and Lancaster clears his throat "In total about twenty five, which includes Omar...One of Creven's aids." he explains before making a toast to their fallen.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) appears in the doorway of the celebrations and sighs, bowing his head briefly before making his way over to Amara, whispering in her ear "Maybe thats not a good idea." he motions to the champagne glass "Think of the baby." he adds, lower so mo one could hear him over the noise of the room.
   <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara rolls her eyes handing the glass over to him "I'm sure one wouldn't help, but if you say so..." she whispers back before glancing around the room "Maybe we should tell them..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (kel) shakes his head "Even one could be..." he stops and sighs "Maybe we should. Not today. Tomorrow" he says, smiling "If anyone asks, you arent feeling well." he suggests, setting the glass down.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara shakes her head and sighs "Fine." she comments before smiling over to Xipilli who walks over to join them "You certainly missed something Kel, your parents were amazing!" he comments clapping a hand on his shoulder "Now they've gone for a bit of together time." he continues with a wink.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (kel) smiles at her, kissing her "Good girl." he chuckles, before turning to Xipilli "They were? Good. Things went ok?" he asks, before wincing slightly "I didnt... need to know that."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara blushes slightly at Keldon. Amara and Xipilli laugh "I know, but couldnt resist telling you." he says with a smile.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) shakes his head, wrinkling his nose "Next time, just dont." he mutters, shuddering "So now what?" he asks.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara wraps an arm around Keldon leaning her head on him. Xipilli drains his glass and folds his arms "We find out excatly where his base is, then hit hard...and make sure that he's really dead.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden nods, wrapping an arm round Amara, rubbing her arm "And when does that happen?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara smiles placing her free hand on Keldon's chest. "When the gates to the First Level has been opened, you'll take everyone you've got to his base, expect for a strong force to hold the Estate." she comments and Xipilli nods eyeing Amara curiously. "Yes."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) chuckles at Amara slightly, kissing the top of her head "Seems like someone is rather predictable, Xipilli."he jokes.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli nods and smiles "So it seems Keldon." he comments looking from Keldon to Amara and back again.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) grins slightly tightening his arm around Amara "I think someone is rather tired. Excuse us Xipilli while I take Amara here to sit down."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara shakes her head moving away slightly from Keldon "I am perfectly capable of looking after myself." she comments folding her arms before stabling herself using the nearest chair "On the other hand." she comments quickly sitting down placing a hand on her forehead.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) keeps his arm round her and moves with her, making sure she doesnt fall "Hey. Hey come on now." she strokes her hair as she sits down "Take it easy. Are you sure your ok?" he questions, concerned. "Do you need anything?" he fusses round her.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara tries to wave Keldon away "Stop fussing, I just had a moment of dizzyness thats all, it will pass." she comments with a smile. Xipilli frowns slightly watching her "This could be an effect of the bloodloss but that was a while ago...you shouldn't be feeling any of those effects anymore."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sighs slightly "We should tell him, Amara." he whispers as he hugs her tight.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara nods looking up at Xipilli. "Its not that, theres something you should know Xipilli." Amara starts and Xipilli nods, looking between them again.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) looks up at Xipili and takes Amaras hand "Im just going to come out with it and please, dont make a scene, Xipilli. Amaras pregnant."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli blinks a few times looking from Amara to Keldon and back again "A scene....I...well...could you excuse me for a second." he asks before walking off slightly his arms still folded staring out of the window. Amara winces slightly "Well, hes not completely freaking out."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) watches Xipilli, shaking his head "Yeah, he’s not freaking out, but I dont want to go over and see if he is ok to be honest."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara smiles "Give him five minutes, then he'll come over and lecture us." she comments looking up at Keldon intertwining her fingers around his.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (kel) chuckles slightly nervously, squeezing Amaras hand and sitting on the chair next to her "Yes. Thats the part im not looking forward to."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara giggles slightly before returning serious as Xipilli walks back over "Here we go." she whispers to Keldon before smiling up at Xipilli. "Are you both sure about this? Do you understand what it means, the responsibilities...not to mention what the child will be like, a mix of genetically enhanced human DNA mixed with, well everything you are Keldon." Xipilli starts standing in front of the both of them. Lancaster smile to himself on the other side of the room before continuing his celebrations’ with his men.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) keeps his eyes on Xipilli, hiding a laugh at Amaras whisper. He coughs, sitting up straight and nods "We're sure about it." he nods "It might be more human than it will be me." he argues.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli nods slightly "I guess so...but, you'll have to provide for it, care for it all the time, teach it good morals."he begins again and Amara nods "Xipilli, we know..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) nods "I think we know what we are doing, Xipilli." he snaps "It will be brought up right, looked after and loved."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara glances over at Keldon "We'll be fine Xipilli, everything will be." she replies and Xipilli nods before smiling and hugging each on in turn "In which case I'm happy for you both really happy for you!"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) blinks a few times, shocked at the reaction. He hugs Xipilli back "Well I must say that wasn’t really what we were expecting, but thank you."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli nods and smiles "Well...Its something good, which seems to have been lacking around here for a while."he explains and Amara nods "Yeah, Kyson."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) chuckles slightly, nodding "Some good news. We were going to wait till tomorrow to tell everyone, gve them all chance to mourn our losses." he sighs, stoking Amaras hair.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli nods "Of course." he comments glancing out of the window quickly. "You're still on edge about Kyson, don't you really think he's dead?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) raises an eyebrow "He’s dead? Really!" he exclaims, pulling Amara onto his knee and kissing her cheek "Thats brilliant!"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli shrugs "You watched what your mother did..." Xipilli starts before stopping quickly. Amara giggles wrapping her arms around Keldon.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs at Amara, kissing her nose "I did indeed. Rather impressive." he states "Im just. I dont know. I have a strange feeling about him, is all."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli nods "I feel the same Kel, it was...too easy." he comments before turning back around to face them "But the question is-" "How do you kill someone who can't be killed?" Amara finishes and Xipilli nods.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) nods, agreeing "It was too easy, I agree. But she seemed to know what she was doing." he shrugs "We will find out, and be ready for if he comes back. How he will do that, Im not sure."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli shakes his head "I'm not sure, black magic, the old ancient magic I'm guessing, so we really need to find his witch and get rid of it." he states and Amara nods leaning against Keldon "We have to stop him."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) rolls his eyes "The fun never ends." he utters, burying his face in Amaras hair. "Can this wait until tomorrow. I dont want this stressing Amara out, Xipilli."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara rolls her eyes again "Kel, I'm already stressed, actually talking about it helps." she comments glancing at him before kissing his nose "So stop worrying." she adds before turning back to Xipilli.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) smiles slightly, shrugging "Well lets talk about it then, shall we." he sighs, resting his chin on her shoulder.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara nods and smiles "Good...so, we need to work out if he's truley dead, and ideas?" she asks and Xipilli shakes his head looking up at Keldon "You got closest to him, any ideas? He’s been in you're mind could you work out if somehow you can still feel his presence or something like that?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) glances from Xipilli to Amara, his eyebrows raised "Really, Xipilli? You are going to ask her to stress herself out?" he shakes his head "No. We just hunt down his witch. It will be better thank stressing Amara out and doing who knows what damage to her and maybe to the baby."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara sighs slightly before gasping. Xipilli blinks moving closer looking concerned "Amara what is it?" he asks quickly, concerned. Amara shakes her head "The witch, was in the house where I was with Kyson, I can lead you to it."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) lays his hand on Amaras stomach worrying. "Come on, love. This hasnt happened before now. We need to get you to see someone. Or at least lay down." he urges, shaking his head "You arent leaving the Estate. You ill have to draw me a map. I will go."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara shakes her head again "Kel I'm fine, that was just realisation that I knew our next step...Kel please let me come with you." she starts.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) shakes his head, firmly "No, Amara love. Please listen to me. What happens if he is alive, somehow? You escaped. He will want you again. And I cant take that risk."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara nods again "Yes, but thats one way to find out if he's still alive...and anyway you'll be there to protect me."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sighs, rolling his eyes "Im not going to win this one am I? Fine. Whatever. come with me. The first sign of trouble and you get out of there, ok." he kisses her cheek "I will always be there to protect you."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli smiles watching them both before coughing "The sooner we go the better." he explains and Amara nods"Its in the fourth level...near the gate, if we use the transport device we can get directly there...inside the house."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs slightly "Inside his house? Is that a good idea?" he looks up at Xipilli "So... What do we do? Find the witch, get her to stop her magic on him and get out?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli nods "Kill her if possible, then yeah, run like hell...or rather, just use the device again." he explains quickly. Amara nods and smiles "Tonight?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) watches Xipilli "If we kill her, does it automatically kill the magic she has done?" he asks.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli shakes his head "No, her last spells will still be in effect until they run out and believe me you can't keep someone coming back forever with the witch who cast it gone." he explains and Amara nods "Then what are we waiting for?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) ushers Amara off his knee so he can stand up "Right. In, kill her, out and back home. Simple, right?" he laughs slightly. taking Amaras hand "Transportation device?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli nods and smiles "Simple...as ever." he comments watching Amara take the device out of her pocket holding it in her hand "Ready when you are."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) pats his pocket, checking he had his dagger on him before nodding, leading Amara out of the room "Cant very well disappear in the middle of the room." he mutters.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara nods and smiles "Oh, I normally do..." she responds squeezing Kel's hand. Xipilli places a hand on her shoulder and nods once. The room in front of them blends suddenly changing shape and colour, the switch of the corridor to a well decorated bedroom with a large bed in the middle. Amara shudders slightly gripping Keldon's hand tighter before motioning over to the door.  Xipilli glances around before heading over to the door. Amara laughs slightly walking over to a chair and running her hand over a very familiar coat.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) closes his eyes as the room seems to disappear. He had never been fond of the teleportation devices. Feeling Amaras shudder he snaps his eyes open, glancing round, pulling her close to him  "His room I presume." he whispers, noting the jacket "You were in here?" he questions, confused before pulling her to the door "Come on, lets get this over with.."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara nods and grabs her coat "Favourite coat here...and yes Kel. I had to let him think his plan had worked, before escaping." she comments before quickly walking out of the room. "Any ideas where to go?" he asks and Amara nods, "Down one level and on the left, theres a door, she was in that room..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) nods once, opening his mouth to say something and stops, rethinking his words "Well Im glad to see you knew what you were doing. And he must have been delusional to think someone as beautiful as you would even be remotely interested in him." he smiles, proudly at her as they follow Xipilli.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara smiles and nods "He was trying to you his Kitsune powers on me." she explains before leading the way, wanting to get it done as quickly as possible. Xipilli follows quickly before approaching the door which Amara had directed them to and knocks three times.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) shudders, tightening his grip on Amara and catching up to Xipilli "What are you doing? Knocking! Really?" he scoffs as the voice of the witch behind the door calls out "At least he has manners" the witch rasped '"Enter, but be warned, its at your own risk."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli shrugs "Always good to make a positive first impression." he comments before opening the door fully and walking in the others following in behind him.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs slightly, following Xipilli inside, keeping Amara close to him "Ah. I wondered when you would be here." the old woman cackles "And you." she points at Amara "You escaped yet, you return. You will be punished when the master comes home from the battle." she screeches.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli smiles slightly and nods "Oh its you...what a surprise," he comments. Amara places a hand on Keldon’s chest "I did, and your spell wasn't very effective, you forgot a few things."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) blinks a few times at Xipilli’s words, one arm keeping Arama behind him "Yes, its me. Your voice, why does it sound so familiar? I cannot see anymore. Blinded. Old age they think. I know different. Working for him. It has had its drawbacks."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli nods "You knew someone very close to me, I chucked you out of my home once." he states shrugging "You needent worry about those draw backs anymore." he continues "Now, what have you been doing for him?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden - The witch laughs hysterically "You.. its you isnt it. I never forget a voice, Xipilli." she cackles and shuffles her way back to her chair "Why should I tell you? so you can try and stop the magic? It didnt work the last time, did it?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli laughs "Well, I've learnt since last time...and I'm not alone this time." he states and Amara grips Keldon's hand "Just tell us." she states bluntly "Or we will kill you."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) keeps a firm hold of Amaras hand, leading her round the room slowly "No dear. No you wont. You dont have what it takes to kill me." she grins, wickedly, "Last time, you were begging."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli laughs "That was last time, a lot changes in over twenty years, a hell of a lot, even more so in the last seventeen." he states folding his arms watching the women "Well I guess if you are going to hold your tongue then killing you is our only option." he adds glancing over at Keldon.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden the old woman laughs "Do you still have some of that potion I gave you last time, Xipilli?" she croaks as Kel and Amara walk closer "Thats the only thing that can take me out, kill me properly, Kills the last ten spells I did too, and nine of them were on Kyson." she mutters to herself for a moment and nods "Yes, nine resurrections for him." she cackles.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli smiles and nods slipping a smile black vial out of a pocket waving it around "Still got it!" he comments before nodding "Nine times...well eight. great." he comments before motioning over to Keldon "But your time has run out."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) glances over at Xipilli, motioning for the potion to be thrown at him. The witch shakes her head "You wont get me to drink that. Its disgusting. The first spell I did, Xipilli, was on someone close to you." she coughs, doubling over "Do you want to undo all that you know of your son?" she sits back up, looking in Xipilli’s direction.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli throws the vial over to Keldon turning back to the woman "Undo, what do you mean undo?" he asks taking a step towards the woman. Amara frowns listening, keeping close to Keldon.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden the woman laughs "Got your attention now, havent I? Undo, as in take it all away. No memories of him. No one here will have memories of him. He will go back to his birth parents and they will have all the memories of him growing up." she explains, talking slowly as if Xipilli was a child . Kel stops in his tracks, his eyes on Xipilli.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli shakes his head "How is that possible?" he asks "You're saying if you die, you’ve cast a spell to undo Kel's life here?" he asks clafiying everything. Amara glances from Xipilli to Keldon placing a hand on his chest.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden the witch laughs some more "Maybe I have. Maybe I havent. Is that a risk you want to take by killing me." Kel lowers his head, kissing Amaras cheek.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli frowns looking over to Keldon "So, its a fifty fifty chance, great..." he folds his arms turning his attention back to the witch "You could be buying time, waiting for Kyson to return, you aren't the most truthful person."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden the crone laughs, shaking her head "I know he is dead. Stupid vampire ripped his heart out. He will be back. Not for a while though. He is running out of lives, each time takes longer." her voice changes, pleading "I dont want to be here anymore. Kill me Xipilli. Im begging you. I cant do any more magic. Its all used up. Im old, blind and useless."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli shakes his head "No, you're staying here, you're going to pretend you can still do his magic, do that and I can promise you a peaceful end, you can live out the rest of your days in comfort and peace." he starts looking over at Amara and Keldon. "I can't take the risk of killing you."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden the crone lowers her head, at her wits end but nods at Xipilli's words . Kel nods once at him "Thanks. I think."he scratches his head, confused slightly, before rubbing Amaras stomach "Are you both ok?" he asks, trying to get his head round it.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara nods smiling up at Keldon "We're fine, both fine, your here." she explains before glancing over at Xipilli"Lets go, we have to keep stopping Kyson, we know how many times." she says taking one of Kel's hands heading for the door.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden Kel smiles down at het, tapping her nose before following her out, not looking at the old woman. He hands the potion back to Xipilli as he passes. The woman sighs "So Im supposed to sit here, act like this conversation never happened and wit for you to come find me when its all over?" she sighs "The fun never ends." she croaks, standing back up and walking over to the fire and stirring her pot, returning to her crazy ramblings under her breath.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli nods "I will come back, I promise." he states before walking out of the door, ushering Kel and Amara back to where they had came from. "We leave now."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) frowns at Xipilli "Now? Ok. Well we didnt exactly.. How do we know she was telling the truth about it all?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli shrugs as Amara takes the jewelled device out of her pocket. "We are just going to have to, I couldnt feel much power from her, and I can't take the risk of losing you." he mutters as Amara activates the box the familiar surroundings of the manor coming back into view.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) opens his mouth to reply and shuts his eyes, muttering under his breath about the transportation device again. He keeps his hand tightly in Amaras.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara smiles slipping the box back in her pocket and wraps her arms around Keldon. Xipilli shakes his head with a sigh. "Eight more times...we have to kill him eight more times."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) keeps his arms round Amara, chuckling nervously at her as he regains his surroundings. He glances at Xipilli "Well, Im sure we can manage that."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara leans her head against Keldon's chest "We better, for the sake of our child." she whispers before looking up at him. Xipilli nods with a smile "Well then, it seems all we have to do is wait."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) stokes Amaras hair slowly, nodding "Well, waiting is always the fun part, Xipilli." he chuckles.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli laughs and nods. Amara frowns slightly sighing "I've always hated waiting..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) chuckles slightly "So have I love. So have I. And we have another 7 months to wait for this little one."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara smiles and nods "Yes, although I think I'm going to need that time preparing."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) chuckles "We have all the time in the world. Well, seven months to be precise. Which is still a long time.”
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara nods slightly "I hope so..."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden Kel) kisses the top of her head "Do you want to go back to the celebrations?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara smiles before shaking her head "Actually right now, sleep sounds like a good idea."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) nods "A good idea, I think." he pick her up and carries her to their bedroom.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli waves the two of them off before heading back towards the party. Amara giggles and smiles looking up at Keldon. "Would you have done it? Killed the witch? taken the risk?"
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) nods at Xipilli and stares back ahead as he thinks it over before shaking his head "Not a chance. Forgetting this life means forgetting you and out baby." he smiles "I couldnt."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara sighs with relief before nodding "Good, thank you Kel." she replies smiling back up at him again.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) sighs slightly, setting Arama down outside the bedroom door "How could I do something that would make me forget you?" he shakes his head, opening the door.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara shakes her head "I know I couldn't...but you could have lead a normal life..." she smiles before walking through glancing over her shoulder "But I know you don't do normal."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) chuckles "I have a feeling that whatever happened, I wouldnt have had a normal life." he grabs Amara, spinning her round.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara gasps grabbing Keldon's arm "Hey, be gentle Mr." she says playfully.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) laughs slightly and pulls her close to him, sliding his arms round her, swaying to a tune he was humming.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara giggles wrapping her arms around him before laying her head on his chest.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) smiles, yawning slightly "Who needs a huge party? I just need you and we're ok." he whispers.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara nods before looking up at him again "I know..." she comments before softly kissing him.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) smiles down at her, kissing her back, wrapping his hands around her with a smile on his face "I though you were tired." he grins.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara smiles and nods "I am...and looking forward to a good snuggle with my childs father."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) chuckles, rubbing his nose against hers "Well that sounds good." he kisses her briefly before running and jumping on the bed.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara laughs following him a little slower across the room, yawning before crawling onto the bed next to him. Amara lays on her back placing her hand and one of Keldon's over her stomach.
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) watches Amara before cuddling up to her, smile on his face as his hand lays on her stomach "Its still all new to me, you know."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara smiles watching him "I know, I feel exactly the same way."
  <SLY> VampireCalanon JemHayden (Kel) smiles at her before leaning up to kiss her, keeping an arm on her and closing his eyes.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Xipilli paces his office, walking back and forth across the space between his desk and his main book shelves. Finding out about Kyson's witch had unnerved him slightly but he believed that she would do as Xipilli had asked, from previous experiences she would hopefully still believe that he was a man of his word. Softly he smiles to himself before walking over to the window and leans one hand on the frame, the other on his hip. On the larger scale of things everything was, so far, proceeding exactly how he wanted it to. His forces were doubling and it was only a matter of a couple of hours before the gates to the First Level opened, he would soon be able to convert or eradicate all of Kyson's forces within the two top Levels, then that just left Kyson to deal with. After that, his power would be increased, he would be termed a hero, which to make himself look better he would naturally say it was all due to his men which would mainly be true, they were doing all the work, the fighting, he had just overseen it all and put the plans into place. There would be celebrations and the Levels would continue the reign under the Opulens, Xipilli could only foresee a couple more smaller issues which he'd probably have to deal with, Jem and Creven, and how they were affecting Keldon.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon yawns as she opens her eyes to find the room dark. Slipping out of bed as quietly as she can, Jem heads over to the window and opens the curtains to sit on the window seat, bathing the bedroom in  the moonlight. Running her hand through her hair, she mulls over her time here, shuddering slightly as she snaps her head up. Jessie was still here. Somewhere, and she had to have words with her at some point. Yawning again, Jem lays her head against the window and curls up, closing her eyes and drifting back off to sleep without realising it.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli stops pacing his mind quickly jumping off Kyson and the others and slides back over to thinking about Jessie, someone who he'd tried to keep his mind off, as to not distract himself. Xipilli sighs slightly and sits back down glancing at a clock on his desk top. One hour to go until the gates were opened, one hour until he would be able to unleash hell on Kysons camp.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon jumps in her sleep and falls out the window, landing on the floor with a loud crash, She puts her hand out to stop herself curses rather loudly as she hears a loud crack and bites her lip hard to stop herself crying out in pain. Standing up carefully, she dashes to the bathroom, slamming the door shut behind her as she sits on the edge of the bath to examine her wrist, which was hanging at rather odd angle. Yes, it looked like it was broken. Great. Muttering about her own clumsiness, Jem walks back into the bedroom and rifles through her bag with her good hand, wincing as she tries to keep the broken wrist from moving. Jem pulls out a bandage from her bag and sits on the bottom of the bed, making a poor attempt at bandaging it up, letting out a few short gasps of pain, followed by a long string of whispered curse words.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli stands up decisively, he had nothing to do for the next hour but wait, so better to actually do something. Blinking as he hears a loud crash Xipilli shakes his head and heads up stairs to the top floor and stops just before Jessie's room door.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon glances up at the sleeping form of her husband and shakes her head before slipping out the door to try and find something or someone to help her, the bandage hanging loosely round her wrist. She stops just a few steps down the corridor hearing footsteps going upstairs "Xipilli?" she mutters, catching his scent and shrugging, carrying on in the opposite direction. Her wrist really was hurting and she didnt want to do magic, even if she could.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli turns around quickly about to knock on the door and looks down the stairs before quietly walking back down "Yes Jem?" he replies coming face to face with her, his eyes automatically falling onto the bandage on her arm "So you were the one making all the noise."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon jumps slightly and freezes on the spot before turning round, blushing as she nods "Yes. I fell out the window set. Its broken. I tried to put the bandage on but I couldn’t and I didnt want to wake Creven up with my stupid pointless problems. So I was going to see if there was anyone about to help me." she shrugs, averting her eyes from him.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Xipilli nods and frowns slightly before motioning for her to follow him towards his office "I may be able to help with that." he comments softly before walking off.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon raises her head and her eyebrows before following him slowly,, holding her wrist to her chest "I dont want to be a bother, Xipilli."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Xipilli nods looking back over his shoulder "Not at all Jem...It shouldn't take long anyway." he comments holding his office door open for her before following her through and shutting it behind them both "Please, take a seat..."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon nods as she walks through the door "Thank you." she mutter, stopping just inside the door, a small shudder passing through her as she remembers the last time she saw this place. Jem takes a seat and deep breath, glancing down and seeing her wrist swollen.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Xipilli watches Jem out of the corner of his eyes before sliding in behind his desk. He sits down and opens the top draw pulling out a red crystal in one hand holding the other across to Jem "Arm please." he states simply watching her.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon watches Xipilli as he takes out the crystal and holds her arm out, wincing visibly and biting her lip "Is it going to hurt?" she asks, not looking down at her arm, instead she lets her eyes wander over the pictures hung on the walls.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Xipilli blinks watching Jem's eyes wander over his pictures, a few of different people, portraits of people important to him, the rest scenes from the Estate. He shakes his head softly taking her arm in his hand, placing the crystal above the point of the break and looks down at it muttering a few words, a rarely spoken language, as the crystal begins to glow and pulsate in colour and brightness.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon lowers her eyes, not recognising any of the people in the pictures. She wriggles her fingers, a tingly feeling running up her whole arm. She tilts her head, trying to understand the words Xipilli was saying.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Xipilli takes his eyes of the crystal and looks back up at Jem "The magic we use here differs a lot from that of your own world." he comments before removing the crystal, placing it back in the draw and quickly looks at his clock.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon nods, chuckling slightly "I have noticed that. I cant do anything here. I would have healed myself if I could." she pulls her arms back, rubbing it "Thank you Xipilli." she glances up at him "Somewhere you have to be?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Xipilli nods and smiles listening to her before shaking his head. "No, well only here...if everything goes to plan we will be starting our second wave of attacks on Kyson within the next half an hour."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon blinks a few times and jumps up as his words sink in "Half an hour!" she shrieks "Well we need to get ready." she turns and half runs to the door, grabbing the handle and glancing back at him "We... we are going, right? Me and Creven, I mean." she asks, letting her hand fall from the handle.
<GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Xipilli nods smiling slightly before shaking his head "You don't have to don anything, everything had aleady been taken care of." he states before standing up and nodding "If you so wish as far as I can tell you're purpose here has been fullfilled." he states before glancing towards the windows, the glimmer of sunrise beginning to show over the top of the mines "And now it begins." he whispers under his breath, a smile forming across his face.

<GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley walks briskly towards the main gates, the only exit into and out of the First Level. There was no one around, as had been arranged, that was easy to organise, why would guards be needed if the gates had been sealed. Lea pulls her deep red hood tighter around her face as she reaches the gates, although there appeared to be no one around she couldn't get rid of the feeling that she was being followed, a feeling which she had gained all the time since arriving in the Levels through a gateway in her own home. Lea shudders slightly looking up at the gates, their impressive iron work, melded into different patterns and shapes seem to loom high above her, as far as she could see. Then past the gates there was nothing, only a blackness. Lea pauses for a few moments running a hand down the iron gate in front of herself and traces the outline of the lock, the metal shaped inwards in a perfect hexagonal shape, equal on all sides, including the depth, smooth flawless. She glances up again before slipping her hand into her pocket, at this rate she was slightly early in completing her task. On hearing a murmuring behind her Lea spins around quickly, two people were a little distance away from her and on recognising someone who was dressed in the grab of a Red Witch they bowed and quickly hurried away. Lea sighs slightly, Dorian's disguise for her proving again very effective. Turning back to face the gate Lea produces a jet black stone from her pocket which she places into the gate lock with a slight click. Glancing around again once more she places her hand over the lock and begins to murmur a small chant which she'd been practicing with Dorian for days. " Romfay hetay owerpay foay histay, hetay rystalcay foay hetay ndaay hetay owerpay ithinway yselfmay ndaay hosetay rovidingpay emay ithway heirtay acredsay owerpay, ayI penoay histay ategay," she begins and the crystal begins to change colour the black seeming to be moving out of the crystal and into the surrounding metal, the centre of the crystal beginning to become colourless. "otay llowaay hetay orthyway otay raveltay hroughtay, otay rovidepay uroay reatgay Evelslay ithway hatway siay eedednay, otay eepkay hetay alancebay foay owerpay saay tiay houldsay lwaysaay ebay, otay ivegay hetay orthyway heirtay wnoay hoicescay foay heirtay wnoay estiniesday." Lea finishes and takes her hand off the crystal blinking down at its clear colour. The gate in front of her begins to shimmer and she takes a few steps back quickly and tries to catch her breath slightly exhausted from the spell. Watching as the gate seems to solidify in front of her Lea straightens out her cloak and walks back over to the gate again she pressed one hand on the crystal and softly pushes. Lea smiles watching the gate swing inwards before her and quickly takes her Phoenix form and to the sky, flying back and forth in front of the gate watching a mass flying towards her over the tops of the buildings of the First Level. Singing loudly and clearly she keeps her position before the first of the mass arrives a large bird with black eyes, legs, talons and beak joins her, its white feathers gleaming in the sun. Following the first bird were many others, all the same colours just different sizes, yet all smaller than the first and now all beating their wings hovering in front of the gates waiting for others to catch up, all flexing their talons creating small flashes of lightning. Fast approaching were deep blue birds, their feathers looking slick, wet in one sight then in another perfectly dry. Following them were the biggest of the lot, birds bigger than the largest condors of the worlds above the Levels. A dark cloud seemed to be forming above them, light rumbles of thunder emanating from every flap of their wings. Then finally topping off the numbers to around fifty in total came the fiercest, birds with steely coloured beaks, their feathers each looking like miniature blades, long tail feathers hanging down with seemingly serrated edges. Lea watches as they all join together in front of her before turning quickly and flies through the gateway the rest following her.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon follows Xipilli’s gaze as the sun rose. Jem stands up "I should be getting back." she mutters, thanking him before leaving the room. The look on his face had made her shudder slightly and as she left the room the feeling left. Catching her breath, she shoves it to the back of her mind as she half runs back to the bedroom and slips through the door, locking it behind her and crawling back into bed, slipping her arms round Creven, kissing his chest up to his neck, before whispering "Morning my love." into his ear, and kissing back down his neck, knowing he would be her distraction.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Creven mumbles slightly smiling before opening his eyes and looking down at Jem "Morning Sweet Jem..." he comments glancing over to the window "Only just though by the looks of it." he adds before wrapping his arms around her.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon giggles slightly, still kissing his neck before she rests her forehead against his "Very early." she half purrs "And we seem to have a free day." she adds, laying her hand on Creven's cheek, replying the conversation between her and Xipilli and her broken wrist.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Creven raises his eyebrows before nodding "Interesting..." he comments before sitting up slightly tilting his head to the side "Can you hear that? sounds like a storms coming and.." he pauses and gets up quickly running over to the window and opening it, listening to a rumbling of thunder along with a familiar tune of a Phoenix.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon tilts her head, listening before falling backwards at Creven's sudden movement. "What is that sound?" she crawls over to the other side of the bed, getting off it and walking over to the window and staring out, listening to the sound. She widens her eyes and glances at Creven "Is that a Phoenix?" she whispers.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Creven nods frowning slightly "Yes, and one we know very well...very well indeed." he replies before pointing out the window "Look at that cloud...how odd." he comments curiously.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon looks back out the window is disbelief "Is that... is that your sister?" she blinks, staring at the cloud "Something is telling me that isnt a storm cloud, Creven." she mutters, wrapping her arm around him.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley -- Creven nods, a frown still across his face "It is… and its not, I can see it...moving...rippling...I'm not sure what it is..." he comments glancing down at her.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon frowns slightly "What do we do? Do we go out there or ..." she drifts off, not finishing her sentence as she glances up at him.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven shakes his head and shrugs "I'm not sure..."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon starts waking towards the door, still in her PJs "I think we ought to go out there. If Xipilli or anyone sees, they might order an attack or something." she drags him away from the window urgently.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Creven shakes his head "I think we should." he replies before following her from the room and starts to head straight for Xipilli's office about to knock on the door as it opens "Creven, Jem! Can I help you?" Xipilli asks brightly with a smile across his face.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon runs after Creven, jumping as the door to Xipilli’s office opens and Xipilli greets them with a smile. Jem shudders, wrapping her arms round herself, not looking him in the face, wishing she had grabbed dressing gown or something to cover herself up. Jem takes a step behind Creven.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven nods quickly walking past him and over to the window which he points out the cloud "Do you know wh-" he starts before Xipilli interrupts "It means that your sister reopened the gate way to the first Level and has bought through a little help, which is now on the way to...eradicate all of Kyson's camps, unless his followers change their minds about him." he says happily before walking out of the door and starts heading down the stairs "I'm sending men into the Third Level, now we know the exact position of Kyson's main base it will be a lot easier." he adds, an scheming smile falling across his face as he turns back around to face Creven and Jem "Lea is leading a group of Rain, Lightning, Thunder and Stymphalia birds...or rather in better terms to understand, a air to ground assault squadron...now if you'll excuse me I have to meet Lancaster before he leaves." he states and Creven nods taking it all in quickly "I'm going too, with Lancaster, to Kyson's main camp...and don't try to tell me its not my fight Xipilli, I want to do this." he states before walking off down the corridor heading for the stairs.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon scratches her head, confused as she listens. She opens her mouth and turns round to speak to them, before folding her arms, staring after, her mouth open as they walk away, leaving her  stood outside Xipilli’s office on her own.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Xipilli glances at Creven at his side "Putting yourself back into the line of danger and so eagerly Creven, I don't know many people like you...why are you doing this, my soldiers fight for me, the estate, their families...but you, you could leave here, go home and be safe." he comments and Creven nods "I could, but my sister is leading that attack force, and last time I checked Lea wasnt the type to lead an army of sorts and if I'm honest, I enjoy it, I find it exhilarating, its reminding me of a time in my past." he replies and Xipilli nods "A time you've suddenly decided to reopen, after the first battle...umm...be careful Creven, the Levels can play odd effects on peoples minds." Xipilli replies glancing over at him again and Creven nods "Yes, but, perhaps thinking more like someone from the Levels is better for me now." he comments smirking and Xipilli laughs "Perhaps."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon sighs, listening to the conversation before storming down the stairs, barging her way through them both and back into the bedroom, slamming the door hard behind her. Jem paces the bedroom for a few minutes, angry. He was willing to go out there, again, to find Kysons base. And what about her, she would have to sit, worrying, panicking, nothing to do but wait. Putting himself in danger, here especially, was worse that some job back home. Jem runs her hands through her hair and walks back over to shut the window, sitting back on the window seat.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Xipilli and Creven join Lancaster outside with under a half of Xipilli's men, as pre arranged. Xipilli smiles and takes Lancaster's hand in his "Well good luck, I'm sure you won't need it just remember, let the birds fly in first, and watch out for the weather front with them, coming from behind you should be alright, but its one hell of a storm they're brewing up there!" Lancaster nods and smiles "We will, I see you're joining us again Creven, always a good addition...well Xipilli Sir, we should be back by tomorrow morning...just in time for a full breakfast" Lancaster replies and the three of them laugh before Creven mounts a horse after a stable boy brings it over quickly. "Remember its eight times we have to kill Kyson...I'm sure we can take a fair few of those lives out of him today. Once you've secured the base send word back, and I'll send reinforcements through. Good luck!" he states and Lancaster salutes before heading off down the lines of men out of the open gates, Creven right behind him. Xipilli nods watching them go before returning to the house seeing Amara leaning the main door "So, it begins again." she comments and Xipilli shakes his head "No Amara...It has already begun." he comments with a smile before leading her back into the house.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon leans her head on the window, watching the scene unfold before her eyes. She curls her knees up, tucking them under her chin <You better not come back hurt> she sniffles, watching them go, her eyes not leaving the back of Creven's head. She flicks her eyes to Xipilli, spotting Amara stood there, just picking up their conversation and letting out a feral snarl, her attitude changing
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara nods following Xipilli back in, after stealing a quick look up at the sky, now getting darker "Well, its certainly an approach the Levels have never seen before." she comments and Xipilli nods "Very true...but it will certainly be effective, now all we have to do is wait." he explains and Amara nods listening "I should be with them." she replies and Xipilli nods "I worked with the Stymphalian Birds for months and have the scars to prove it." she states and Xipilli nods again "Keldon wouldn't let you anywhere near them...and I'll respect his wishes." he replies turning around to face her "Do not defy us both on this occasion Amara."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon snarls, darting to the door and throwing it open, her blood red eyes landing on Xipilli then Amara "You." she hisses, pointing her finger at Xipilli "Tell me where Jessica is. I think its about time I had a nice little word with her about keeping her hands off married men." she growls, glancing round, not seeming to notice anyone else was stood there "Tell me where she is, or tell me where they have just gone!"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli blinks watching Jem before folding his arms "You are not touching Jessie, not while she is on my estate...and the others have gone to Kyson's base." he states his eyes fixed on Jem. Amara looks from one to the other then back again.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon stares at Xipilli, her eyes flashing wildly. "Well if I cant touch her, tell me where the base is so I can go have some fun, instead of sitting round here, waiting for them to come back home." she snarls, folding her arms across her chest, her eyes narrowed.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli shrugs pointing towards the gates of the Estate "In the Third Level, about an hours ride from the gateway, south west direction."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon keeps her eyes fixed on Xipilli for a few seconds longer before shutting the door in his face and getting dressed. She opens the window and jumps out of it, running to the gateway, and heading in the direction he had said. She didnt need a horse. She was just as fast on foot as they were.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Xipilli blinks watching her go through the window with Amara at his side "Well...could make things interesting." she states and Xipilli nods "She'll kill anyone she can, which will be a problem for recruitment...unless its Kyson then shes welcome to him...Creven may have a few surprises for her though." he explains and Amara nods "Something has changed in his mind, I can feel it when I'm near him, its like somethings flipped suddenly." she comments and Xipilli nods in reply "It has, he has." he remarks before walking over to his desk and sitting down.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon sniffs the air as she runs along the path, catching the scent of a few new kinds of animals in the woods, fighting against herself and her urge to stop and have a look. She smelt the blood, sickly sweet, almost calling to her. She ignored it, as hard as it was, and kept running until it had passed. Jem stopped in the middle of the path, picking up a different scent. The scent of the Estate... in front of her. For a moment she though she had lost her bearings until she realised the horses must be near, and let out a laugh, half skipping in the direction the scent was coming from, her eyes still bright red, her anger just hiding below the surface for now.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Lancaster pulls his men up short glancing up, the air was beginning to feel thick, the thunder was louder accompanied but the bright flashes of lightning all coming from above and all now covering the spot of Kyson's base. It was darker than normal, even with the morning sun breaking through, all part of the attack though. Lancaster stops and holds their position for a while.  time to let the birds do their jobs in creating chaos. "So, these Stympalian birds, really can use their feathers as daggers? Interesting, glad they're on our side of all this." he comments and Lancaster nods "Very glad, its a shame Amara isn't here, she's spent a lot of time with the birds, they're effective to say the least." he replies glancing over at Creven who smiles back across to him "Shame we're missing the action from back here." he says simply with a shrug and Lancaster laughs "Not at all Creven, I don't want to be anywhere near those birds in attack mode, best let them have their moment for the time, our job is to surround the base, which we should start doing about now." he replies before ordering his men out in different directions. "See you on the other side of this." Creven comments before taking a different path to Lancaster leading his own group of men.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon comes to a stop behind a horse, stroking it softly "Well Im glad I’m on this side." she stares at the sky, as Lancaster starts sending his men out into different directions, before laying her hands on her hips, watching Creven ride off "Something I said?" she smirks, her tone slightly amused as she shakes her head "Where do you want me, Lancaster? Somewhere not near Creven. I dont need a distraction right now." she smirks again, pulling her hair into a ponytail before leaning against a tree.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Lancaster blinks looking down at Jem and nods "Follow my group is you wish, we're going to the front enterance, Creven's group have gone to the back." he states pointing in the different directions "Ready to go?"
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon grins, nodding "Sure thing, Sir." she mock salutes him "Just keep him away from me." she mutters under her breath before pushing herself off the tree "Ready when you are."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Lancaster frowns before leading the way ahead around the trees for about ten minuets before getting his men to take a line formation away from the base, just so they could make out the buildings on the outer edge. The rain pouring down, and storm blasting around only inside the base as planned. All of the birds working together, those creating the storm and the Stympalian carrying out the main attack.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon grins excitedly "So Lancaster. When we get in there, can I attack who I want and how I want?" she questions, wiggling her eyebrows at him before looking round, noting the looks she was getting from the other men.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Lancaster frowns and shakes his head "No, we have to see if anyone left alive will join with us, switch sides, the birds are partly doing that too, but they have to move on to the next base Kyson of course is yours for the taking." he explains waving a hand at one of his men.   <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon pouts slightly "Even if its accidentally?" she smiles sweetly, giggling and fist pumping the air "For real? I get to deal with him!"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Lancaster nods "This is my command Jem, and has been planned long since before you got here, don't even think about messing up, not even once." he warns sternly before nodding "Concentrate on him, let my men deal with his."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon grumbles slightly before giving a mock salute again "Yes sir. Whatever you say sir." she laughs slightly "Any time I sense him, can I go for him?" she mutters, sniffing the air.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Lancaster ignores her jibes and nods "Be my guest." he says gruffly turning his attention back to his men decreasing their distance from the base slightly.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon smirks, tilting her head slightly and skips off closer to the base "Guess whos here to play with me." she whispers, in a sing song voice, looking for the slightest movement in front of her.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Lancaster frowns his eyes fixed on Jem but tries to divert his attention back to his men, they were part of his responsibility not Jem. - Creven leads his group around the back of the base, crouching with them all in a line just off the perimeter. He was impressed with the storm work of the birds and the destruction which they had bought. There was a line of corpses clearly marking a route out of the base, people trying, but not succeeding to escape, but marking out the entrance perfectly for Creven and his men.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon watches intently, making out a few shapes inside the building, looking like they were packing, hiding something. Jem stands up, taking a few steps closer, squinting her eyes and straining her ears to try and work out what was happening.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven keeps his men at the same distance as before watching at the Stympalian birds bring their advanced attack to an end allowing the rest to follow in and storm the base while the birds flew off to their next target. Above all the noise Creven still makes out the tune of a Phoenix, eerie over the silence in front of him.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon gasps slightly as she hears the song of a Phoenix "Lea." she mutters as the silence hits, almost deafening. Jem slips out from behind the tree, blocking the sound of the song from her head and slipping towards the building with the movement inside, one thing on her mind.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Creven motions for his men to move forward, into the base, he himself taking the point lead in his fox form as they all file in through the small entrance way, the scene in front one of desolation and blood. The storm stopped, rainwater puddles covering the floor, tinted slightly red. Bodies strewn across the floor, gashes and tear wounds, deadly in all cases spread across the base, bar a few survivors huddling in a corner, clearly the small few who had decided to defect, the act saving their lives, but imprinting their memoires forever. Creven takes his human form again and takes a deep breath, a damp, earthy and irony smell flitting across his senses. "Well, we may not have much work to do." he comments glancing at his men "Spread out, check everywhere." he adds watching as some of his own people begin to lead the small group of ex-Kyson men and a few women away. Creven pauses and looks around "All men." he whispers to himself before catching up with one of his men "Check for underground and secret rooms and passages. You don't just have a base like this full of men, I know Kyson...there are more people here, find them...Oh and there’s a witch who mustn't be harmed, Xipilli promised her protection, the rest...well, you all know what has to be done." he remarks and they all nod and salute.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon storms up to the front door, just making out sound coming from the other side of the building. Jem holds her breath, the smell of the blood all around her burning at her throat. Her eyes burn a brighter red than they have ever done before as she kicks the front door down with a snarl, and yelling "Kyson! Come and play! We have some unfinished business to take care of I think."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Creven follows his men through a plain back door into the main house, ordering them to split up, taking different directions.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon makes her way down a dark corridor, hearing hushed voices "Kyson!" she calls out, her tone taunting, luring him out "I know you're here. I can smell you. You stink of failure." she laughs, opening random doors as she passes them. She knew where he was, she just wanted to see him squirm.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Creven swiftly takes his fox form, placing his nose to the ground smelling for any scents he could, mainly looking for a group of people, women. Quickly he scouts down the corridor, his men checking the rooms off it. Suddenly Creven stops and walks backwards retracing his steps. On resuming his human form he brushes his fringe out of his eyes and points down at the floor boards beneath his feet "I've got something here, secret door."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon stops in front of a seemingly plain door. The sound of scrambling came from behind it, a sound normal ears wouldnt have picked up. She grins, knocking a few times. The sounds stop, hushed voices shushing each other drift her way as another door opens in the room. Jem rolls her eyes "Kyson, no point trying to escape." she laughs, taking a step back and kicking the door down. Jem shakes her head, walking into the room, calmly, taking a seat at one of the tables and glancing round. It looked like she was in a sort of meeting room. She flashes Kyson a grin, her eyes still bright red "And we meet again." she hisses, the smile going. Kyson freezes after pushing the witch through the other door, locking it behind her "Jem. My not so much of a friend. How are you?" he fakes enthusiasm, sneering slightly.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Creven and his men pull back the floorboards revealing a small tunnel, Creven looks around at the people surrounding him "You all go on, I'll handle whatever is down here...keep going under Lancaster's orders, start securing this place." he states and the men nod before standing and splitting into small groups, all bar one young man, his hair sandy blonde, fairly short "I'm coming with you Sir." he states and Creven nods before looking back at the man and tilts his head to the side "You're Kitsune." Creven comments and the man nods "Yes, a very young one, gold colour traits and one tail so far." he replies with a slight smile "Its a pleasure to meet and to work with you." he adds and Creven smiles "My name is Costas." he finishes quickly and Creven nods "Well, lets see how good your Kitsune skills are shall we?" Creven responds with a wink before Costas jumps down the hole in front of them, taking his fox form and darting off down the tunnel.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon smirks over at Kyson with a wink "Oh surely you aren’t getting nervous, Kyson." she laughs, standing on the table and jumping to the one the next row down before leaping to the floor, landing almost silently on the floor. Kysons shakes his head, slightly too quickly "No...No not at all. Why would I be worried about anything?" he gushes as Jem laughs again "Oh I dont know, friend." she sneers "Maybe because this time, its just you and me." she looks round the room "None of your men. No bodyguards for me" she scoffs "And thats they way its going to be. Just you and me." she smirks, slipping closer to him, grabbing his arm, and bending it back until it snapped watching as Kysons face falls briefly, a fake smile on his face as h e covers up the pain.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Creven keeps his nose low to the floor, roughly finished, earth nothing else. Following a bend in the tunnel he begins to pick up slightly whispering, glancing sideways at Costas it was clear that he had heard it too. Costas fastens their pace slightly closing in on the source quicker. Creven holds back slightly watching the young Kitsune in front of him, something seemed familiar about him, the power he could feel was huge, perhaps larger than Creven's power, but it was ordered, Costas was in complete control of it, more so than Creven was of his own, he wondered what he could really do with so much power, how it was so trained and directed.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon snarls "That was for kidnapping my daughter." she starts, tugging on his arm, finding some new strength from somewhere. Kyson grabbed Jem by her throat, picking her up off the floor and slamming her into the wall "Oh really. Which one? They are all fun to kidnap." he whispers in her ear, setting her down, but still keeping his hand round her. Jem hisses, bringing her foot, hard, into Kysons shin, watching him crumple to the floor "Never underestimate the strength of me, Kyson." she growls, bringing her foot down on his other leg, grinning wickedly at the sound of the bone shattering. Kyson scrambles round the floor, unable to get up "Again, Jem. Really?" Jem laughs, nodding "Yes, again. And no one to stop me this time so, I can go as far as I want to." she sneers.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Creven and Costas round the final corner a wooden door blocking their way which Costas fixes his eyes one, the hinges beginning to steam and smoke before the door falling inwards in front of them. Creven blinks watching Costas, slightly surprised but impressed <Nice one mate.> he directs across to Costas who glances over at him as he walks through the door <Thanks, but I've got more than that, let me show you.> he responds walking across the wood and into the room beyond. Creven follows him closely letting the room come into view, in front of them, sat in a ring around a bunch of lit candles were seven women. So far they seemed oblivious to Creven and Costas's approach. Costas returns to his human form walking around the group placing a hand on one of the women's heads. "Come Creven, let me show you something." he states as Creven joins at his side "Are they in a trance or something?" he asks as Costas laughs "Yes...mine."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon smirks down at the whimpering mess that was Kyson "Come on now. I thought you were supposed to be this big hard warrior person. Or is that just a front." she taunts. Before waiting for him to reply, she stands slowly on his other arm, cackling madly "I love these boots Kyson" she starts, ignoring his cries "Steel toe capped, steel heels." she shrugs, sighing, satisfied at the crunch of the bones "Perfect for well, anything really." she laughs, crouching down "And now you cant move." she laughs. Kyson shakes his head "Only my arms and legs, Jem. I might have other ways of getting you back." he taunts. Jem shakes her head "Nope. Keep trying Kyson. There’s no one here to save you now." she whispers, eerily before taking out her dagger "And trust me, my fun is just beginning."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Creven raises his eyebrows watching Costas "How...and who exactly are you Costas?" he asks beginning to walk around the circle. Costas smiles "I am your counterpart here in the Levels." he states taking his hand off the woman's head "Stand up slowly and walk around the room once before sitting back in this exact spot." he commands looking down at the women who begins to carry out his command "I heard you were hear, then switched places with one of my men in Xipilli's command." he states before shaking his head, his appearance altering slightly. His eyes turning a deep gold shade, while his hair turning pure white. "I wanted to size you up for myself, see what one of our kind from your side is like...and my, do you have a lot to learn." he comments before turning back to the woman in front of him "It appears our female friends here were already locked into a spell before we arrived...killing them all will completely break the current spell they were casting, clearly something powerful." he explains and Creven nods walking back across to him "You're a white Kitsune...killing people isn't exactly that pure." Creven states and Costas nods "A misinterpretation, white meaning pure...pure as in power, not goodness...we are in the Level's Creven...even in your world, Kitsune’s should be more powerful then any other kind of creature, I'll teach you everything I know after this." Costas explains and Creven nods looking around "So you lied to me earlier...but now...well, I look forward to your teachings," he replies before motioning around the room "Any suggestions on how to do this then?" he asks and Costas winks "Well, I could just order them to kill themselves and each other...then at least we avoid any mess!"
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon tilts her head, letting her face return to looking sweet, blue eyes and as if she wouldnt harm a fly. The look on Kysons face softens slightly before Jem’s eyes flash back to bright red, and an evil smirk flashes across, replacing the look with one of seemingly pure evil "Not." she starts, twirling the blade in her hand "This will hurt me more than it will hurt you." she laughs, rolling her eyes "Who am I kidding. Its going to hurt like hell, Kyson. Just a million times worse and Im going to love every... single... moment of it." she plunges the dagger into his chest, shredding through his skin and down to his rib cage. Shoving her hand in, she laughs "No heart. Who would have though." she grins, winking as Kyson lays, speechless. He didnt even think she had it in her. Jem sneers as she slowly turns his ribs to dust with a simple squeeze.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Creven smirks watching Costas "No mess, I like the sound of that." he comments and folds his arms "I'll let you take the lead on this then." he adds and Costas nods turning his attention back to the women sitting around "Well then Ladies, break the spell, the bound, stop casting, the person sitting on your right hand side is a traitor and must be killed, you must stop her now, and destroy any evidence of this meeting, it never happened and will be erased by yourselves by history." he comments with a simple motion of his hand. Suddenly the women all look up at blink once before turning their heads to the right. A mumbling is heard across the room as the candles begin to burn brighter, one falling over, the flame beginning to spread across the room. "Time to go!" Costas yells over to Creven as the woman nearest to him leaps on the woman sat to her right, clawing at her face with her nails. Similar acts break out across the rest of the circle, the women all turning on each other with bare hands, weapons carried on their person or some drawing the power of the fire. Creven nods and follows Costas back out of the room both retaking their fox forms and running from the room, Costas in front of Creven in his proper Kitsune form, pure white, apart from the nine black tail tips in the air behind him.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon laughs as Kyson manages to let out a few gasps. Jem reaches deeper into his chest, dragging her nails across any internal organs she passes until she reaches his spinal cord "Are you ready Kyson." she taunts in a whispered voice, her hand wrapping tight round his spine and squeezing tight, not taking her eyes from his face, the smirk still there "You have no idea what you is coming to you." she licks her lips as the smell of his blood hits her, and she growls, feeling the warm gush of his blood flow over her hand. She was having fun and was secretly hoping no one was going to interrupt her, or worse, stop her.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Creven follows Costas out of the tunnel up through the entrance before heading back outside <You want to learn my ways...then come with me now, Lancaster and everyone else can handle this." Costas states and Creven keeps pace with him <You're on, I'm coming with you.> Creven replies before both of the begin to head away from the base, deeper into the forest, back towards the gateway. - - Lancaster and his men continue sweeping the base before all meeting back up in the main courtyard "All secure men, well done indeed, word must be sent back to Xipilli...Jem is with Kyson, I heard them searching that floor, we leave them alone, for now...shes more qualified to deal with him than we are." he states as one of his men volunteers to take word back to Xipilli. Lancaster agrees and dismisses him before ordering the rest to being setting up their own defences.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon removes her hand after crushing Kysons spine completely, a huge tear in the front of his body. She stands up and grabs the lifeless body by the hair and drags him out the room, back down the corridors and through the door to the outside. Jem stops, blinking slightly in the light before she heads over to where she had left Lancaster. Jem sings to herself as she half skips along, pleased with herself and her work.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Lancaster hears Jem and turns around to face her "Our personal warrioress returns successful I see...is he properly dead or are we waiting for the next resurrection?" he asks folding his arms, some of his men turning and watching on in silence.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon grins and throws the body at Lancaster’s feet smirking "Dead. For now at least. No remaining spinal cord, or ribcage. There’s massive internal bleeding. Oh and I broke his arms and legs." she grins "I had to test my new boots out though." she looks down at her feet, open mouthed "And now they need cleaning." she huffs, kicking the body in front of her "Its your fault Kyson." she curses under her breath.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Lancaster nods gulping slightly as he looks down at Kyson "Well, he's all yours when he wakes up again...everything else is secure here." he states looking around before pausing, raising his eyebrows at Jem then looks over to one of his younger officers he sent out with Creven "Marcus...Where is Creven?" he asks and the man salutes "He went with the other young Kitsune fellow down a passageway they found." he explains and Lancaster nods "Okay, find them if you can!"
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon lifts her head up, her eyebrows raised "He went off with another Kitsune?" she laughs slightly, pulling her bobble out of her hair and letting her hair fall down her back, shrugging slightly "Who cares. He can do what he wants. I need to get back to the manor. I need to shower. I feel disgusting, covered in his blood." she shudders, still slightly in a rogue state, still mad with her husband.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Lancaster nods listening to Jem "I can send someone with you if you wish..." he comments as his men go back to their jobs "The choice is yours....and in the mean time, what are we supposed to do with that?" he asks pointing down at Kyson.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon raises an eyebrow at Lancaster "Its up to you. I can run fast enough. And as for that." she kicks the body hard "Do with it as you want. Chop it up, sell it on the black market. Hell, even cook it and give it to poor people to eat. I dont care. I never want to see him gain." she turns her nose up as she turns round, striding off in the direction they came, trying not to show she was worried where Creven had got to.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Lancaster nods looking back down at Kyson's body "Someone lock it up somewhere." he orders watching as Jem walks away.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon runs her hand through her hair as she walks back. She casts a slight glance behind her as she feels eyes in the back on her head, meeting Lancaster’s gaze, before shaking her head, turning back round and running off.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Amara watches as one of Lancaster's men comes riding back through the gates, clearly from his experssion they had been successful. Amara smiles to herself and points the man out the Xipilli --
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley -- who joins her at the window "Perfect, another success." he states. "Again, so thats Kyson's main base under your control and all of his other bases in the Third Level wiped out." a woman on the other side of the room remarks as she walks across to him, her deep red cloak brushing the floor, hood back revealing a head of deep red curls, a face with simple features and striking jet black eyes. "Correct there Lea, I must say, you Celanon’s keep impressing me...which is normally very hard to do." Xipilli replies and Lea smiles "Just trying to keep up certain traits with the family name." she states taking a glass from Amara "To success, Xipilli, and our new control." Amara remarks raising her own glass as they all join the toast and take a sip. "I trust you didn't have any casualties on your side of this Lea?" Xipilli asks and Lea shakes her head "None, a couple of injuries but everyone is back up and flying again...I've sent them out on a scout on the Second and First Level...just incase there’s anything lurking of Kyson's." Lea explains and Xipilli nods "Good, thank you...so the Opulens are all well?" he asks and Lea smiles "From what I can tell yes, and grateful to you and your loyalty, but you knew they would be." she replies and Xipilli laughs "He had a small hunch about it." Amara responds placing her glass down as she glances out of the window again.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon walks through the gates a few minutes after Lancaster and his men, after having taken the scenic route home. Her heels click dully on the driveway as she barges through the front door, stopping to take her boots off, not wanting to trail blood through the house. Jem sighs, yawning slightly before taking a deep breath and picking up a familiar scent "Lea?" she rolls her eyes. Just what she needed. Her sister in law, giving her a lecture about her fighting. She opens the front door, launching her boots onto the grass angrily before storming up the stairs and slamming the door shut behind her. When were people going to realise she wasnt fragile.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Amara turns back around to face Xipilli and Lea "We will be joined by Jem very shortly I believe." she comments glancing over to the door. Lea nods and drains her glass "Well, this could get interesting."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon glances at the half empty bottle of whiskey on t he table and grabs it, draining it slowly as she heads to the bathroom to turn on the shower. Jem sits on the edge of the bath, draining the bottle in a few short swigs before she undresses and steps under the water, washing the blood off her hand and from her hair.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Amara tilts her head to the side listening to the noises of the house "Or perhaps not right away." she comments sitting down looking up at Xipilli and Lea. "Will you be gracing us with your presence long Lea, or must you be somewhere else?" he asks watching Lea smile "Dorian wants a report, but I can remain here for a few more hours...I'll keep him in suspense a little longer." she replies and Xipilli laughs "You tease..." he comments before offering her another drink "You must come back once this is all over, I'll give you a tour of the Estate." he responds’ and Lea nods "Umm, I'll look forward to that."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon watches the blood circle the drain, laughing before stepping out the shower, drying and getting into some dry clean clothes. Jem mutters under her breath as she wanders out the room and heads in the direction of the voices. She stops outside the door, shaking her head before knocking.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley glances over at the knocking from the door. "Come in Jem!" Xipilli yells across the room pouring another glass ready to hand to her.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon opens the door, shutting it behind her and slipping into a chair, looking at each of them "Amara. Xipilli. Lea," she greets them in turn, her tone slightly icy.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley smiles at Jem "Hey, not seen you in a while...enjoying your stay in the Levels?" she asks watching as Xipilli hands Jem the glass "Congratulations on your success today." he comments with a smile and Amara nods.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon glances up at Lea, shrugging once "I just wanted to get Keldon and go home. Didnt work out that way did it? No. It never goes smoothly." she half snaps, running her hand through her hair "Now I have no idea where Creven is, I killed Kyson for the..." she stops, counting on her fingers "Fifth time, and I havent fed since I have been here." she retorts, glancing at Xipilli "Thanks. It just takes practice and a vampire without a care in the world."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley nods glancing around. "It wouldn't be life if it went easily and Keldon isn't going anywhere, he's staying here." Amara states before Xipilli waves his hand "Anytime...I did give you a substitute for blood...and Creven, I may know where he is."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon glances at Xipilli "Not quite the same though." she slowly turns her head round to glare at Amara "Excuse me? Are you telling me we have just risked out lives for you and this place, searching for our child for you to tell me he isn’t coming back home with us? Think again, Amara. He is my son! And he will be coming home with us. Or are you going to be like Kyson and kidnap him? Because I can tell you now, that is the last thing you want to do, considering what I have just done to him." she screams.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara stands up folding her arms across her chest "You didn't have to go out with Lancaster and the others! Go on about it all you want Jem, by he's my fiancee and the father of my child!" Amara yells back, glaring over at Jem. Lea raises her eyebrows taking another sip of her drink and Xipilli clears his throat moving to be next to Amara's side.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon snorts and rolls her eyes "And I care because? Keldon’s father didnt even know I was pregnant. Think yourself dammed well lucky. You havent felt heartbreak and pain until the child you gave birth to is snatched away from you. And you want to hope it doesn’t happen to you." she growls and storms from the room, slamming the door behind her and heading back to her room.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Amara shakes her head listening to Jem "You've never cared! Thats you problem, you only care about yourself, poor Jem, yes I feel sorry for everything you've been through, but not everything goes the way we want, shit happens! In fact I pitty you acting the way you do some days, sulking and moping around, then you just go plain crazy ripping people apart, you have some serious issues you need to address Jem!" Amara yells after her before turning around to face the window. Xipilli glares after Jem placing a hand on Amara's shoulder and Lea remains silent again just sipping her drink before looking up at Xipilli "You mentioned something about knowing where my brother was?" she asks and Xipilli nods "The Head of the Kitsune race here contacted me asking to meet Creven, he was on Creven's assault team today...I'm guessing that they have gone back to the Kitsune region on the first Level, he said he wanted to teach Creven a few things."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon mutters under her breathe, listening to Amaras yelling. She didnt care about much right now. She didnt care where Creven was, she didnt care that she was loosing control, unpredictable, in kill mode. Jem walks through the door and picks up her bag, shoving her hand deep into it and finding her biker boots. Slipping them on she scoffs slightly. She could run better in these than her heels. She reached back into her bag again and pulled out letter she had already written to Creven and lays it on her pillow before leaving the room, fighting back tears. She couldn’t be round people when she was like this. She had everything she needed in her bag to last her the next few weeks, or as long as it took to work out how to get home. Jem shuts the door and heads to the front door, walking through it, picking up her heels and stuffing them in her bag, muttering goodbye before heading to the gates without looking behind her.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley nods listening to Xipilli "Right...wasn't exactly expecting that but makes sense in a few ways." she replies and Xipilli smiles "Creven has a lot of...unlocked potential." he states glancing over at Amara who nods before excusing herself from the room "I need to go and find Kel, tell him the news."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon runs a few things through her head, the way to go to get away from here being the main one. She tried to remember the way they got here and takes a right out of the gate, following the path. She hoped there was another way home before she got to the vampire level. She didnt want to be there. Horrible, vile, disgusting. Jem leans against a tree, sliding down it, covers her face with her hands and bursts into tears, her emotions mixed up yet again.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley nods watching Amara leave the room before facing Xipilli "Unlocked potential? what do you mean exactly?" she asks and Xipilli finishes his drink "He has great power, but so far doesn't know how to use it all, thats what Costas will teach him...Lea, something has also flipped in Creven's mind, he's reverted back into an old mind set, a deep, dark, dangerous one...the quicker he leaves the Levels the better before it really starts taking root in his mind." he explains and Lea nods "As soon as we know Kyson is completely dead I'll take him and Jem back through the portal in the First Level, that we I can align the timelines if they wish to visit here again..." she explains and Xipilli nods "Lea, now the gates are open there are people in the first Level who have the power to deal with Kyson, Costas is one of them...we can destroy him.."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon (Keldon) hums to himself as he wanders down the corridor, flicking through a device in his hands "Perfect. This is prefect.”  He looks at the man walking next to him "We need to knock the "wall through to create a nursery. Can I trust you with the planning?" he asks and the man nods "Yes sir." Keldon nods, handing him the device back and dismissing him.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley Amara smiles watching Keldon from a little distance "Hey Hun, I've been looking for you!" she comments walking towards him smiling.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon looks up a the sound of Amaras voice before running over to her "Is everything ok" he asks, concerned.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Amara nods and smiles "Its all fine Kel...the attack was successful, Lancaster and his men are now in control of Kyson's base...and your mother killed Kyson again." she explains softly brushing his cheek with her hand.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon (Kel) rises his eyebrows "She did? Then you would have though she would be happy about it, not leaving the estate looking the way she did." he lays his hand on hers.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Amara frowns slightly "I err. had a bit of an argument with her...and when did she leave the Estate?" Amara questions looking up at him.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon (Kel) nods once "Oh." he glances at the time "About half an hour ago. She didnt take much. She had her handbag with her. That was all." he sighs "Should I have gone after her?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Amara shakes her head "I don't know Kel...shes...an odd one...perhaps, I wouldn't say shes the most stable at the moment so finding her may be a good idea." she pauses laying her head on his chest "Just promise me one thing...you won't let her take you away from me."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon (Kel) blinks a few times "Stable or not, shes still my mother, Amara." he starts, looking down at her "I dont know if I can..."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Amara turns back around and smiles "And I know a way you can do it, and keep the timelines between the worlds at exactly the same pace...its how Lea got here." she replies "Just as long as its only a visit...I'm happy here, in the Levels, I don't think I could make anywhere else my home."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon (Kel) nods "Im happy here too. With you." he walks over to her, kisses her forehead and lays a hand on her stomach "I have to take a chance to see what their world is like."
<GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley - Amara nods "I know...you're too curious...but I don't think I could face a world like theirs." she explains placing a hand over Keldon's.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon lifts her head up as the silence hits her, noticing she was alone. She lets out a small sigh, running her hand through her hair as she looks round, frowning, wondering where she was. Jem jumps scooting back as she sees a smiling shadow next to her "Hey. Calm down, its only me." Jem takes a few deep breaths, watching as Corbin materialises in front of her "I wish you would warn me when you are going to do that." she grumbles slightly. Corbin shakes his head and lays a hand on her shoulder, making Jem jump, again. "Corbin. I can feel your hand." she gasps. Corbin nods slowly "I know. There’s some powerful magic round here. Not as powerful as inside the walls. Its different. " Jem nods "Thats why I had to get out. Being in there as long as I have been, its changin me. Not in a good way. Corbin you should have seen what I did." She lowers her head as Corbin hugs her "I did. I saw. And I was proud. I dont know why my son thinks you cant handle yourself. Even if he is changing slightly." Corbin frowns. Jem looks up at him, confused "Changing?" she shakes her head "I said he could revert back to how he used to be..." Corbin holds his hand up, interrupting her "There’s reverting back to a few years ago. Then there’s reverting back to his teenage years. And believe me, none of us want that, Jem. You need to talk to him. Try and get him to see what will happen if he doesn’t stop. He will revert too far back. Become a killer and wont be safe to be around. For you or the kids meaning you will have to leave him to be safe." Jem shakes her head, defiantly "I will never leave him, Corbin." she snaps, narrowing her eyes "Well then, you need to get it through to him. If he doesn’t stop, he will loose you. And I know he doesn’t want that." he smiles and Jem nods. Corbin sighs, unwrapping his arms from round his daughter in law "The magic is fading. I need to get back into the Estate. But, as Im stuck to you, so to speak, I cant go back in without you." Jem blinks before shaking her head "Im not going back in there, Corbin! I cant. You see how its changing me." Corbin stands up "Maybe for the better." he watches her as she turns up her nose, standing up too "Whatever. I will got back in but Im not going inside the manor. Oh" she turns to face him "Your daughter is inside too." Corbin laughs "I know. You think I dont know when my children are about." he shakes his head, laughing still "She didnt notice me touch her hair though." he sighs, holding his hand out to Jem, who takes it and they walk back to the Estate in silence. Nothing else needed to be said right now.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley watches Xipilli before glancing out of the window "I need to find Jem, I should tell her about the portal through to Calanon Castle...she'll want to know." she states and Xipilli nods "Good idea...Lea the sooner," he starts but Lea interrupts him "Yeah, sooner Jem and Creven have left the better, you've already told me." she replies with a smile before walking across the room towards the door and heads out.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon wanders back through the gate, her head low so no-one could see her talking, seemingly to herself "Corbin, how m I supposed to leve when the very reason we came here probably wont be with us?" she questions "I...Im not sure yet." Corbin ruffles Jems hair slightly "Things will work out." Jem sighs, folding her arms "Maybe." she mutters, walking to sit in the shade of a tree
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley frowns walking around the house, looking for Jem checking the bedroom. Lea then catches a glimpse of her sister in law sat under a tree out of a window. Smiling slightly Lea makes her way out of the manor and starts walking over towards the tree.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon brings her knees up to her chest, flashing a small smile at Corbin "Leas on her way." she states, without turning round. Corbin stands up, nodding "I will let you two talk. If you need me just call out." Jem nods, watching him melt into the shadows before turning round and watching her sister in law.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley briskly walks over to Jem smiling. "Hey," she says brightly before sitting down next to her "I've got some news which should help to cheer you up." Lea states before looking around and shivering quickly.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon waits for Lea to sit down and raises her eyebrows "Good news?" she tilts her head, smirking slightly "Let me guess, I didnt kill Kyson properly, so I have to do it again?" she questions, hopefully.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley shrugs watching Jem "Probably at some point anyway...but I've got something that, well...Jem I came through a portal from Calanon Castle which is directly linked to the Levels, so much so that it keeps the two worlds in sync with each other, time passes at the same rate...you could leave here come back two days later and it really only would be two days." she explains quickly keeping both eyes on Jem.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon shakes her head, chuckling slightly "Tell me you are joking, Lea." she starts "After everything we went through to get here! For Kel." she stares at her sister in law "And let me guess. You just flitted through that way, easy as pie." she shakes her head, muttering under her breath "Unbelievable."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley shakes her head "I know...but I didn't know where the gateway lead until...until I found out the truth about Dorian, it leads to the Opulens house in the First Level...If I had of own I would have told you...but some things have to happen certain ways."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon lets out a small sigh "You aren’t the only on who has said that to me today. Things have to happen certain ways." she glances at Lea "The Opulens in the First Level? Hold on, didnt Creven just desert me to head back there?" she shrugs; leaning back against the tree, closing her eyes "Whatever. Like I even care right now."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley nods "It seems to be something said around here a lot...its also one of Dorian's best sayings." she replies before nodding "Apparently so, only to the Kitsune region...and Dorian is an Opulens...his full name, Dorian Elijah Opulens...I didn't know until a few days ago." she states before standing up "Clearly you don't, therefore there’s no point in me even trying to talk to you." she adds brushing the leaves of her cloak.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon snorts slightly, keeping her eyes closed "Well, you learn something new every day, dont you Lea. He gets everywhere, that man." she grins to herself, stretching slightly, opening her eyes "Really? No point in trying to talk, hmm? Thats all I have wanteed to do for days no, and everyone seems far to wrapped up in themselves to even notice. I just killed Kyson. Again, Lea. And not just outright killed him. I tortured him. Broke his spine. It felt amazing and all I want to do is do it again and again. Tell me thats normal." she stops for a split second before continuing "You can't, because its not. And thats one reason why Im staying out here. Jessica is in that house somewhere and f I step one foot inside now, I will be breaking a promise I made." she runs her hand through her hair "If I go back in there, I wont stop until I have killed her too."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley nods listening to Jem before pointing away from the Manor "Then come home, with me, right now...we can leave, leave all this behind..."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon stares at Lea, wide eyed "Home? Away from here?" she whispers.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley nods and smiles offering Jem a hand "Yes...back home, back through the portal...let Xipilli take care of everything now, talk to Keldon, he may not want to leave, but with the portal I know about, you can visit each other..."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon takes Leas hand, nodding slowly "He can do his own dirty work now." she pulls herself up "What about when he comes back from the First Level?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley helps Jem up before shrugging "I can get some to get a message to him about the portal, he'll come back through when he's finished here..." Lea replies quietly.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon sighs and glances back to the manor "I dont want to say goodbye, Lea. I just want to go home."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley nods "I know...Xipilli knows I was thinking on getting you home, I can always nip back and tell the others..."she replies before beginning to walk towards the main Estate gates "Come on."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon follows Lea, holding her breath. Her emotions were going crazy again. Jem glances over her shoulder and stops briefly, glancing into the shadows before following Lea again "How far is it?"
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley tilts her head to the side "Not far at all when you have one of these." she remarks pulling a small jewelled box from her pocket "Xipilli isn't the only one with these little transportation boxes." she explains before taking Jem's hand in her own. "Ready?"
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon blinks, looking down at the box in Leas hand "Transportation box?" she tilts her head "Is it safe?" she asks, glancing round, feeling watched from somewhere inside the manor. Jem shudders, shaking the feeling off, although she thought she saw movement from behind the curtains in a downstairs window. She turns back to Lea and nods "Ready as I will ever be."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley nods and smiles "Of course it is, anyone who can...well afford one around here has one." she explains keeping her eyes on Jem. "Okay." Lea replies before activating the box, the scene around them dissolving and reappearing. The trees replaced by buildings on either side, tall looming above them. Lea keeps hold of Jem's hand guiding her down the street, widening as they walk further up it towards the end. Small cherry trees lining the edges; a city scene out of the Victorian ages, but pristine and tidy. "It’s quite something up here really." Lea begins to explain as she walks "All the buildings are built in a old style, very artistic, impressive too in most cases, they have a form of electricity, no cars or anything like that." she continues as they round a corner coming up to a large expanse of grass and brightly coloured flower boarders as the front garden to a large building, the tallest in the area, its green domed turrets and roofs above everything else in the area. "Welcome Jem, to the First Level and the Opulens Household."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon blinks, one second they were in the Estate, the next, surrounded by tall buildings as they walked down the street"Wow. Thihs is pretty amazing." she glances at Lea "Wait, the First Levels." she glances round, biting her lip "I dont want to see him, Lea. Im not here to see him. I just want to leave." she wraps her arms round herself, shivering.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley blinks watching Jem as she leads the way up the main path to the house, her cloak just brushing the top of the floor. "Who, Creven? He’s not in this section."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon rolls her eyes "No, Father Christmas." she mutters, sarcastically, her boots making dull thuds on the floor as she walked.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley frowns slightly walking up to the doors which open as Lea reaches them revealing Dorian stood just inside, in his normal suit, but light blue this time, a striking difference compared to his normal dark colours "Lea!" he remarks scooping her into his arms laughing before putting her down "It worked, it actually worked! Well done!" he comments before glancing over to Jem "Jem, hey...I guess you're here for the portal?" he asks and Lea nods "Yep, taking Jem home, away from all this."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon blinks, waiting in the doorway, watching Lea and Dorian. She smiles slightly "Hey Dorian. Long time no see." she nods slightly "I just want to go home." she mutters, looking down at the floor.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley smiles softly and Dorian nods motioning for them to come in "Come then...its just in the main meeting room." he explains leading through a grand marble stairs entrance and through to a room at the back. Deep red in all decoration, a long table stretching down the middle. Dorian walks its length over to a bookcase at the far end. Softly he taps a sequence of books and watches as the space in front of him disappears revealing a shimmering white space. He turns back around to face Jem and Lea pointing behind himself "Straight back into Lea's study."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon takes a deep breath and follows Dorian and Lea, keeping her eyes away from the both of them. Glancing round she smiles slightly at the decor, not paying attention to Dorian fully. She jumps, at the white space that had appeared from nowhere.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley smiles at Dorian and offers Jem her hand “Are you ready”
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon tilts her head, glancing between them both. She nods, taking Leas hand "Like you have to ask me twice." she half smiles, glad to be going home.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley nods before glancing up at Dorian "I'll be back later, there’s a few things I still need to do here." she says softly and he nods smiling at her quickly "Then I'll see you later Lea..." he comments before turning and walking away as Lea grips Jem's hand and walks through the light, blinking as she steps out into her study back in Calanon Castle, the evening rays of the sun softly streaming in through her window "Home..." she states turning to face Jem "Welcome back."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon nods once at Dorian, smiling at him before following Lea through the light, her eyes closed. She takes a deep breath, inhaling the familiar scent "Its good to be home." she opens her eyes blinking in the sunlight.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley smiles unclasping the cloak from around her neck and drapes it over her desk "Cup of tea?" she asks with a smile already walking across the room heading to the door and into the hall.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon nods slowly "Please. A decent one for a change." she watches Lea for a second before staring at the place she had just come from.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley smiles and laughs disappearing from the room as she heads downstairs and into the kitchen flicking the kettle on and beginning to find two cups and tea bags.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon paces the study, running her hand through her hair. Was she doing the right thing, just leaving like that? No one knew she had gone and she doubted anyone would really even care. Jem sits on the floor, pulling her knees to her chest and resting her chin on them and bursts out crying.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley walks back up the stairs with the two cups whistling to herself before sitting down next to Jem and offering her one.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon jumps slightly, wiping her eyes and taking a cup "Thanks." she croaks, sniffling "God, Im such a wreck."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley smiles slightly "Well..." she comments before taking a sip "You have a reason to be."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon scoffs slightly "I dont know Lea. I feel different. Something’s changed. I though I would be back to normal when I got back here." she lays her head on Leas shoulder, yawning.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley shakes her head "Things take time Jem, the Levels always effect people who travel to them, but you'll get over it, for you its mostly emotional...you'll work it all out.”
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon takes a sip of her drink "Does it heighten your feelings? Cos apparently Im always over emotional anyway. According to some people."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley nods "Well, yes it does..."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon rolls her eyes "Great. Just great. Well, in that case, he better stay in the Levels until I get back to normal. I really dont feel like arguing every minute of the day with him."
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley smiles slightly sipping her tea again "Well, we'll just have to wait and see, you'll be fine Jem...nothing normal has happened to you recently, just got to let it all settle out."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon laughs slightly "Lea, nothing normal has happened to me since I was almost killed by your brother and we both know it.”
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley nods again "Well, yes...I guess so…"
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon closes her eyes "Sometime I wonder..." she stops herself and shakes her head, taking another sip of her tea.
  <GRY> Calanon Phoenix LeaWeasley tilts her head to the side "Wonder what Jem?" Lea asks.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon looks up at Lea and turns away quickly "I was just wondering what it would be like if I didnt marry him." she mutters under her breath, wiping her eyes again.


  <RAV> Trolley CrevenCalanon blinks as he steps out of the light into his sister's study. "Interesting," he comments to himself brushing his fringe out of his eyes being careful not to touch the three cuts across his right eye. Straightening his clothes slightly he heads out into the main hallway.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon watches as her spoon stirs in her half empty cup. Jem runs hand through her hair, exhausted.
  <RAV> Trolley CrevenCalanon yawns slightly, holding his leather jacket over one shoulder. Creven makes his way downstairs after a decent cup of tea, although he had got quite used to drinking coffee over the last few weeks on walking into the kitchen he stops fixing his eyes on Jem, their violet colour bright and clear. "My Sweet Jem." he announces before sliding across the kitchen over to her, dropping his jacket to wrap his hands around her waist as he kisses her cheek.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon sighs before taking a sip of her cup, her blood red eyes fixed on the wall in front of her. She sets her cup down, in a world of her own before jumping as a pair of arms wrap round her. She freezes on the spot before glancing over her shoulder, shaking Creven’s arms off her "Oh. Back are you?"
  <RAV> Trolley CrevenCalanon nods before glancing around, stooping down to pick up his jacket "Well thats what it looks like to me," he comments with a wink before walking over to the table and sitting on it "Unless this is all a dream or illusion...but the possibility of that being true is minimal, meaning yes, I am back!" he finishes chucking his jacket over at one of the chairs.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon scoffs, looking at the floor and shifting her weigh on her feet "Oh believe me, Creven. I have had some pretty realistic dreams the past few weeks while you have been there." she turns round to face him, fixing her eyes on him "So how do I know this isn’t a dream like they were?"
  <RAV> Trolley CrevenCalanon tilts his head to the side and nods listening before sliding off the table and walking over to her "Becuase Kitsune's cannot appear in dreams, at least other peoples dreams." he comments with a flash of a smile "So its all been real!" he adds.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon watches him through slightly narrowed eyes "And how do I not know this? And more to the point what he hell happened to your face?" she glances over the cuts across his right eye, tilting her head slightly.
  <RAV> Trolley CrevenCalanon folds his arms across his chest smirking slightly "I only found out a few days ago, the Kitsune’s in the Levels are very...informative." he explains before motioning to the cuts "Oh these they're nothing, just the remnants of a small fight I got into before coming back." he states unbothered with a shrug.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon rolls her eyes slightly, folding her arms "Funny, mister master assassin, how you come away from there marked, injured some might say, and me, little me who cant seem to do the same job, comes back, not only unharmed, but once again after killing Kyson.." she winks at him, a small teasing smile on her face, before turning round to make some fresh tea.
  <RAV> Trolley CrevenCalanon looks her up and down and shrugs "Well, I think they make me look even more dashing than normal, bit of a rugged look." he states watching her before walking back over to the table , leaning against it smirking.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon spins round, her temper flared "Do you think I want to see them all the time? A constant reminder of that place? reminder that Keldon, our son, didnt want to come back with us?" she half yells across the kitchen at him before sinking to the floor in floods of tears "We wasted all that time looking for a child who didnt want to be found." she sobs into her hands.
  <RAV> Trolley CrevenCalanon rolls his eyes folding his arms "Well, you are just going to have to deal with it, he's my son too don't forget." he remarks frowning before continuing "Anyway, once things have settled down over there he's going to come and visit." he states with a shrug keeping his eyes on Jem.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon lifts her head up slightly "Of course he is yours, Creven. How can I forget that." he voice barely above a whisper. Jem shakes her head, not believing him "Please dont. Dont tell me that. What do I do when he doesn’t come? What if he cant?" she wipes her eyes.
  <RAV> Trolley CrevenCalanon laughs and nods "Well I'm glad that you've confirmed that he's my son." Creven replies chuckling to himself before fixing his eyes back onto Jem "He's a man of his word, he will come." he states with an impassive look "He'll walk right through that gateway in my sister's office as I did tonight...but I'd give it a couple of weeks first."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon stands back up slowly, turning to splash cold water on her face before shuffling across the floor in her bare feet and wraps her arms around Creven "Im sorry. Im still not back to normal after being in that place, doing the things I did."
  <RAV> Trolley CrevenCalanon wraps an arm around Jem and laughs slightly "You kidding, I feel fantastic, the Levels...well, lets just say they unlocked something inside of me, which I'm really liking, I feel...incredible." he comments before kissing her cheek.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon shakes her head "I dont know what happened to me. Something snapped. Like someone turned on my evil switch or something." she murmurs, nuzzling her head into his neck "Killing Kyson was amazing though. It was a feeling I hadn’t had before." she looks up at him "But you missed that, didnt you."
  <RAV> Trolley CrevenCalanon nods "It is a fantastic feeling isn't it, pure power, total control." he remarks gazing off slightly into the distance "Its incredible, something I haven't felt for years, when I first felt it, it was petrifying, but that was then, and this is now." he adds looking back down at her, his eyes gleaming.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon keeps her eyes on him as he talks "I loved it. I wanted to do it again and again. I had pins and needles throughout my whole body." she giggles slightly before taking a step back from him "But...you...you weren’t there to celebrate with me. You just... left." she blinks a few times, confusion and hurt on her face. "You're usually there for me."
  <RAV> Trolley CrevenCalanon sighs and nods running a hand through Jem's hair "I know, but I had to talk to Costas, the Kitsune Leader over there...I had a lot to learn from him, I had to go."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon blinks a few times before nodding, laying her hand on his cheek "A lot to learn? Like what?" she asks, flicking her gaze to the cuts again.
  <RAV> Trolley CrevenCalanon smiles watching her "About my powers, control over people's minds, how to use my different forms, then there’s some other freaky stuff too, all pretty cool though." he states placing a hand over her noting her gaze "The cuts are nothing Jem, I just tried to cross the wrong person."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon smiles slightly, reaching up to brush his fringe from his eyes "Who? Tell me." she purrs slightly, trying to keep calm, before standing on her tiptoes to kiss him, tangling her hands in his hair.
  <RAV> Trolley CrevenCalanon shrugs before kissing her back "A group of werewolves." he comments simply.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon blinks as she pulls away "WHAT!" she takes a few steps back "A werewolf." she gasps "Are you going to..."she stops, just shaking her head "Please say you arent..."
  <RAV> Trolley CrevenCalanon smirks folding his arms "Not just one..." he comments before laughing and shaking his head "One of them? Hell no, its a scratch thats all!"
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon lets out a small sigh of relief "Are you sure?" she takes a seat on the table top "I think its your turn to make me a cup of tea." she wiggles her eyebrows, trying to change the subject.
  <RAV> Trolley CrevenCalanon nods gently running a finger down one of the cuts "Of course I'm sure." he states and nods slightly glancing at the kettle before clicking his fingers one of the Calanon house elves appearing in front of him "Two cups of tea, usual style." he orders, the elf nods and disappears as Creven walks over to Jem "One cup of tea coming right up."
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon bites her lip, her bright red eyes locked on him intently. She rolls her eyes as he gives the order to the house elves "Creven." she laughs slightly "I didnt mean for them to do it. I cant enjoy the view." bursts out laughing, winking at him "Oh, hold on. Yes I can." she wiggles her eyebrows, wrapping the ends of her hair round her finger.
  <RAV> Trolley CrevenCalanon shrugs "Its their job..." he states before winking back tracing her nose with a single finger.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon giggles, "Thats true. Plus, I get you all to myself this way." she reaches out to grab his shirt "You have no idea how much I have missed you." she whispers.
  <RAV> Trolley CrevenCalanon nods and smiles before tapping her head "Oh Sweet Jem, I have every idea, and more." he comments before quickly kissing her as the elf reappears with a tray which Creven takes and thanks the elf before handing a cup to Jem.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon giggles, bushing deeply "Hey. There’s secrets in there. Dont you be digging." she winks, taking the tea and taking a sip "They need more practice." she mutters.
  <RAV> Trolley CrevenCalanon nods before draining his cup "They will learn." he comments ignoring her previous statement before placing his cup down and picking up his jacket "I'm off out, will be back later," he states before turning around and walking towards the main front door "Oh Jem, don't wait up for me!" he calls back through before walking out and shutting the door behind himself.
  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon nods slowly, setting her cup down on the table next to her. She raises her eyebrows and stares after him, speechless. "But you only just got back." she mutters as the door shuts. Jem  slides off the table and picks up her car keys, grabbing her handbag, and her phone, putting it on silent before she walks out the side door to the garage, slides into the drivers seat of her new Volvo, sinking into the seat as she starts the engine. She backs out of the garage and rests her head on the steering wheel, unsure where she was going to go. She sits up, grins and drives off down the street, going where ever the road takes her.

  <SLY> Vampire JemCalanon wanders through the front door, calmly, after being way for almost a week.  Jem makes her way up the stairs, choosing to shower first, the blood drying on her skin. Jem turns the shower on and lays down on the bed for a moment, and falls into a deep sleep.
