Ailsa Graystone


Ailsa was laughing as she clinged to Heiden, feeling pretty good. As he made his way up on the beach she continued to cling. She wasn't going to let him get away!

But Ailsa did let Hieden go when a voice reached her ears, booming a clear from she wasn't sure where. Ailsa fell to the ground and looked up into the sky. Someone was coming to kill her and all those like her. Her son! The monster was coming for her son! Ailsa scrambled up and she looked at Hieden.

"Did you hear that?" Let it just be her imagination.

"Help..."

A
h yes, a word he recalled. But from where? It sounded familiar....Wait. She didn't have anything to do with that fat ******** shop keep did she? Was she turning him over to some colleges of his!? He screamed help, as he chased after little Khoi for petty almost expired goods. Well, none of them seemed to be anyone important, not to him. They were playing in the sand and in the water. And Jenica, she was too nice to him for him to abandon all she had done on one unsure moment. Soon they would reach Onyx, where he would learn if this apparently Japanese woman could speak Chinese...

Heiden heard the words
Some douchebag spoke.
" For to long you have inhabited a realm which does not and has never belonged to you. You will be Purged from the world and purity will return. War has come prepare for your demise."

                              It was so unexpected, so sudden and at such a moment in time that was almost heart breaking. The Asper and what straggler 'crew' was left, had practically just got to Port Thume. Their new home was barely discovered. So new in fact that they hadn't even had a chance to figure out if supernaturals were accepted here or not. Now more than ever getting his mother to dive into the book that was given to her was never more important. The instant panic this message had given Heiden was shown in the way he grabbed Ailsa by the face.

                              "No!" his throat racked as he tried to contain the volume of his voice. His hands holding onto the cheeks of Ailsa's face.
                              "Don't...don't let on that anything is a miss...instead...be thankful that my mother is human. Look at her Ailsa...so free. Having fun...I don't think I have ever seen her smile this much or laugh this much before. She hasn't been able to stop all damn day. I can't...I'm asking you, please don't. Don't panic. How many times have we been threatened? It's nothing until someone makes an actual move. Your son is fine because your son is safe far from here and that is where he ought to be right now Ailsa." he said to Ailsa quickly as he pulled her into a roll to make it look like they were still play fighting.

                              With Heiden now beneath Ailsa once more he let go of her head. The water rushed up over them a bit. His silver grey eye's searched Ailsa's eye's begging her to get a grip. He tried to look up above him to see if anyone else had heard it and was reacting. His eye's had searched out for Rini as she was a vampire and also would have heard the mysterious message. However, from his current position she was not in his line of vision. Heiden looked back to Ailsa once more.

                    Onyx walked passed Metal now with a playful, satisfactory, victory smile. Wading out of the water Onyx would close the distance between herself and jenica.
                    "My you make friends quickly..." she said sarcastically.

                    Onyx's (currently human) eye's looked Jenica's new found friend up and down discreetly of course. He looked like a stow-away. Maybe one of Ports unfortunately youth, poor population. She had to say, Jenica bringing him here had intrigued her. Onyx looked to Jenica expectantly though keeping a light smile to her lips.

                    "Onyx...this newest guest aboard the Asper speaks a dialect that I do not understand. I mean it sounds Asian but the hell if I know. Tell him your name, get him to speak and you will see for yourself. But...from what I can gather he understands very little English."

                    Onyx let her eye's leave Jenica to be refocused on the young male. Feminine with a slight husk to it, a voice that was unmistakably unique spoke out to him.
                    "Hello, I am Onyx" she said to him pointing to herself a bit. "Onyx" she reiterated as her index finger tapped the top of her own chest.

She was making her way towards him, her body moving lightly within the movements of the ocean's waves small curves of water crashing against her hips and side as she moved while Metal waited, her mind seemed to be racing as she approached him. A rather smug and confident fixture of emotion seemed to be pasted along her facial features as she walked right up to him standing before him all the while he came to plant his feet down against the wet sand of the bottom floor, pushing himself to come toe to toe with the woman now as she stared up at him. Looking down at her his long hair flowed down sticking to his form much like his shirt as the Captain began to speak. "Greedy...you? Never..." His voice was carried by shallow tones of sarcasm the way he stared down at her now his eyes narrowed just a bit as she continued to look up at him and then she went one about how she had already won, or at least considered herself the winner of their little bout. "You could have but yet you didn't." He spoke watching her as she began to walk away from him, his head turned looking towards Jenica and then back to Onyx, it seemed jenica had found someone new and it seem Onyx wanted to meet them. Metal smirked and quickly headed towards OPnyx walking right up behind her and whispering in her ear before turning back away and headed for the opposite side of the beach. "Someone's still scared." He smirked and then continued towards the other side finding the right area he seated himself right back down along the waters edge, allowing the beach water to flow up against his legs and up against his lap while he waited.

Ailsa Graystone

Ailsa was still scared, but Heiden's words did help bring her back a little. She took deep breaths, looking towards Onyx as he spoke. She wanted to ask how she had become mortal again, since she knew before she wasn't that way. But now was not the time to ask question of that nature. She turned back to Heiden and gave a nod.

Ailsa also went with the fall and sunk into the water. She was still worried for Brad, and for her family. She wondered if they could hear the voice where they were. She shivered. "If this thing is as big of a threat as it sounds," she said with her voice low, "we will have to tell her eventually. But I agree; not now. She does look really happy..."

Ailsa was worried for her son, and for Lance and Celeste... She wondered if she should send a letter to them and get them to come to Port Thume. She shivered inwardly and looked back at Heiden.

                              Heiden gave a sigh of relief as Ailsa agreed to keep her cool. He knew obviously she'd remain worried and he wasn't against her reaching out to her family. He just wanted her to do it in a fashion that didn't alarm the others.

                              "Again, threats can be made and until someone tries to make good on a threat, it's just dirty lip service. And frankly i got something that they can service. We don't need to be afraid. In numbers, we are awesome anyways!" he told her.

                              Heiden would get to his feet and bring Ailsa up with him. It was true that for them the fun had been ruined a bit but Heiden was determined not to allow it to ruin everything. Heiden saw that his mother was speaking to Jenica and that some kid was with her. He also saw that Metal was now chilling at the waters edge and that gave him a thought. A right wicked grin spoiled his features.

                              "Metal right?" he said to him as he moved to now stand within ear shot if him. "Care to play some volleyball? Ladies versus Monsters? " he shot Ailsa a grin now too. Even if Rini and whats-his-face wanted to join in the team would be even. Heiden looked back to Metal for his response.

Metal was sitting there allowing the water to rush up and over the top of his feet and along the edges of his ankles his eyes caught sight of someone approaching him and he turned barely, his head turning up while his tresses flowed down into his face somewhat. Looking at the young boy he stared as he began to stand next to him, first speaking his name trying to get acquainted with him it seemed. His eyes stared for a moment before looking out towards the open water. He started to think to himself. 'What the ******** is Volleyball?' He wondered for a moment before turning his attention back towards the boy. "Umm....What's volleyball?" He asked, after all Metal wasn't too much one for the fun and games types unless it involved hurting someone. Turning on his hip and pressing down he stood up and just stood beside the boy known as Heiden looking at him for a moment and then back to Onyx he stared and then sighed for a moment. "I guess so." He spoke and then looked around, monsters vs ladies, sounded fun. And a little surprised Metal was, Heiden spoke to him so closely and referred to him as a monster. Maybe the boy hadn't known about Metal's troubles, or the trouble he normally caused his mother?

                              "Umm....What's volleyball?"

                              Heiden held up his index finger, his mouth opened to speak "it's...I-um...neer." well ********. How was Metal going to play the game if he didn't know what it was? It was Heidens turn to be confused now. Was Metal not a Vampire? Even if he was currently human, surely the ex-vampire in all his time alive knew what it was, how it was played, even if he never physically played it before. The skin about Heiden's brows creased slightly in this confusion. It returned to it's smooth state as Metal suddenly agreed to play anyways.

                              Heiden did not know about Metal's troubles nor even to the extent of his and his mothers history. All he knew was that Metal had been around for a very long time and his history with his mothers ship went back even before he (heiden) had been born. He knew his mothers dislike for Vampires and why. He knew that Metal had a daughter that his mother seemed to love a lot named Anita. He also knew that Metal was 'troubled' but Oni never said how or why and that was about it. What did any of that matter to Heiden? None of it did. His mother fought with lots of people for various reasons. Reasons that were their own. Metal would be no different to him. Of course, if Heiden truly knew the half of it...he would want Metal dead for sure. For now, Heiden was just happy that the seemingly introverted male was willing to try and have a little fun.

                              "Alright, sweet. So, it's pretty simple. Hit the ball over the net and try to hit it so that way they fumble it or are unable to deflect it. When the ball touches the ground on their side we get a point. You cannot catch the ball. Don't drop the ball or else they get the point. There are two basic ways to hit the ball. A 'bump' and a 'volly' " he said to Metal showing him examples where it was due.

                              "The hit that make a big difference...is the spike...that is where I think you would be good." like his mother, this seemingly small incident proved something. That on the inside, Heiden was all Oni. He had already been calculating, thinking, strategizing. Heiden showed him an example of how to spike the ball.

                              "That's about it." he told metal telling him the basics. Heiden held the ball out to Metal for him to take and practice with. He had got to thinking that they would have to play this game again when Metal was a vampire. The strength this guy would have would burn the ball into the ground when he hit it! Heiden's demented humor saw metal removing heads via a volleyball. On second thought...maybe he shouldn't play volleyball as a vampire!

Ailsa Graystone


Ailsa followed Heiden back onto the beach and though she tried to listen to what he was saying about volleyball she was a little distracted. She had a feeling that the Overlord's thread was more then hot air. She sensed a dark cloud forming on the horizon and wished that there was some way to stop it. She pushed the thought from her mind just as Heiden mentioned ladies vs monsters and also managed a small smirk in reply. The looming threat would come soon but probably not today. She should enjoy herself while she could.

"That sounds fun," she replied and looked towards Onyx and the boy Jenica had brought along. She didn't know who the boy was but trusted Jencia enough to know the bit was probably not a threat. She gave what she hope was a friendly looking smile to the boy and looked back at Heiden while he explained the game to Metal.

Heiden was cute (okay Ailsa just admit he's hot) and watching him explain the moves for volleyball was fun. Eye candy for her, so to speak. She knew though it was better if she just looked and didn't touch. Look how well her last relationship went...

Standing there he listened to the young male speak his actions on the descriptions had Metal's eyes watching carefully as he continued to motion with the ball. The first action he began to show him was the bump. Heiden had wrapped one hand around a tightly clasped fist his thumb sitting right over the top of the other fist. His arms extended downward holding them out in a 'V' shape, this action as Heiden explained more would cause the ball to bounce up stopping it from hitting the ground. And as he continued he explained that the second hit upon the ball was a volley, after that any other way to hit the ball was fine it appeared. The volley consisted of pushing the ball up high into the air just barely over th net, or even more so at the edge of the net so it could set up the third hit, which Heiden exclaimed it was the most important. The spike seemed to be a devious hit, one in which the player would jump high after the other player set up a volley. Slamming their hand down against the ball the spike would send the ball flying downward into the area of the opponents a small smirk appeared along his face thinking about the game. "Alright...so when are we starting?" He asked, his arms crossing for a moment before becoming undone as the ball was tossed towards him, his hands clasping around it as it appeared at him. His arm then extended upwards throwing the ball up before bouncing it once or twice with both arms. His background as a killer allowed him great hand eye coordination, his eyes just watched the ball go up and then down before hitting it hard once setting up for a volley before slamming his palms up sending the ball higher.

                              Heiden looked to Ailsa with a large smile.
                              "Glad you are on board!" he said to her with a bit of a wink.

                              Looking back to Metal now his brows raised as his eye's flared. His smile grew even wider seeing the way Metal handled the ball. He knew it! He knew that asking him to play the game was the right thing to do.

                              "HA!" he couldn't help it from erupting from his throat. If the boy could grow horns they'd sprout right off his bloody head in this very moment. He looked towards Onyx, Jenica and young male.

                              "They don't stand a bloody chance! Ailsa! Ailsa you better go warm up for your demise!" he began to laugh tossing his head back some now.

                              "We shall crush them once THE DRAGON LADY is finished stalling!" he said to Metal as he also called out loudly to his mother. He knew that would get her.

                    Hearing the term 'Dragon Lady' Onyx's brows rose lightly even while looking at the foreign young male before her. Slowly she turned her head to look behind her, turning some in the process. Oh if her eye's could shoot daggers. However, that little belch of a flame was snuffed out the moment she saw what she saw. Her son was standing beside Metal. Heiden had his arms crossed to his well toned chest, a right smug grin plastered his face. Metal held a volleyball in his hands, confident hands apparently. Could anyone truly understand the weight of this scene? Onyx opened her mouth to speak but it was as though her throat was as dry as the Sahara Desert. This...this was a challenge? This was going to be tough and not just because of the skills that were going to be brought to the net either. Onyx narrowed her eye's at the both of them. She then looked to Ailsa and nodded her to come over to her. Looking back to the two men she flicked her head up to them a bit letting them know that she accepted their damn challenge. Once she was finished with business of course. Onyx would turn back towards Jenica and their guest.

Ailsa Graystone


Ailsa had never played volleyball before, but she wasn't about to let Heiden beat her. She gave a brighter smirk, thoughts of the Overlord happily banished for now. She turned toward Onyx.

"I don't think Heiden knows what he is getting into," she said. She was pretty confident that the ladies could beat the men, though Metal was a bit of worry. She had never really spoken to the man so she didn't know him. All she knew was that he reminded her of her Grandfather. Or what she guess her Grandfather would be like. It wasn't going to be an easy match, that was clear.

Ailsa walked over to Onyx.
