[OOC:] It's alright. You have life and it gets in the way. I understand. You're fine! :3
Icarus rode with Benjamin to the motel and went to the room, sitting on one of the beds. When Benjamin spoke, she laughed softly, sniffling a little as tears dotted the corners of her eyes. "That night... When I made brownies for the late crowd.... he..." Icarus paused, wiping away a few tears before looking to Benjamin. "He said he loved me."

Benjamin frowned and got up, going to hug his best friend. "I'm surprised it took him that long to tell you. There's something not right here, Icarus, but it's not Jethrow. He didn't leave you, not on purpose."

Icarus nestled into the hug Benjamin gave her, taking comfort in it. She listened to him and sighed softly. "I know... I just wish he had told me.... I mean I'm good with secrets. I can be trusted. Right?" she asked, glancing up a little at Benjamin before laying down on her bed. She felt very alone without Jethrow, but having the Spaniard there helped ease the ache.

Benjamin shook his head and ran his fingers over Icarus's hair. "Has anything strange happened lately? Something that might let you know what has been happening for him?"

Icarus sighed softly, relaxing a little as Benjamin stroked her hair, closing her eyes. Though she thought on what Benjamin said and she shook her head. "No... Nothing was out of the ordinary. At least not anything I noticed..." she said, looking to Benjamin. "I guess it's a pointless effort to maybe try and find if he has a cell phone..."

Benjamin shrugged. "I have a feeling you'd know his number if he had one... But there might be another way to find him. Your uncle might be able to do some magical mojo something."

Icarus sighed and nodded some. But she thought hard when it came to her uncle Shiro. Icarus then quickly sat up and dug around in her bag. She pulled out a small bag of seeds and went to the window. The nightingale then opened the window and tossed a few seeds out. It took a few moments, but soon a crow came and ate the seeds. Once it ate them, the crow grew a second pair of eyes, all four soon glowing red. The possessed bird hopped onto the window sill, looking from Icarus to Benjamin then back to Icarus.
"So what's up Icarus? What did you need?" Shiro's voice came out of the bird's beak, the bird keeping its sight trained on Icarus. Icarus glanced to Benjamin before looking to the bird.
"Hey Uncle. We need you to do us a favor. Can you use your powers to track down Jethrow? He's gone missing." she explained. The bird seemed to contemplate for a moment before nodding.
"Of course. Anything for my descendant." Soon the bird just sat there, completely motionless. After about 10 minutes, an envelope slipped under their hotel door. The bird then gave a small spaz. "I believe you two have mail. That is a special map of mine from my childhood when I attended the school. It helped me spy on my wife from time to time. Or avoid teachers who's classes I skipped. Just keep that bloody vampire in mind and it should show you the way. Got to go. About to be a 14 car pile up. I'm going to be busy..." The crow's eyes returned to their normal black color, the second set disappearing before the bird flew off with an indignant caw.

[OOC:] Oh my god Shiro has a Marauder's Map?? Benjamin had his eyebrows raised--he might never get them to come back down again--when Icarus opened the map. "How in the world are you going to make that work? And... Will it show you Jethrow? I mean, he's not at school.."

[OOC:] It used to be. Once he attained godhood, it now expands to wherever you want it to or where you currently are on the globe. That's how he gets around in like New York or China.
Icarus opened the map, studying it, briefly glancing to Benjamin. What the map held was something very interesting. In the center, there was a small symbol of a raven and one of a bull head. Both icons were located in a small room that matched the dimensions of their motel room. The nightingale blinked some, pacing the room a little. The icon mimicked her movements exactly. So Icarus sat on the bed and thought. "We just have to try." she murmured.
Icarus then closed her eyes and began to concentrate, trying to channel her thoughts of Jethrow into the map. Maybe if she concentrated hard enough, the map would show her where her boyfriend was.

[OOC:] Nifty! Jethrow finally came across an old wooden street sign, the kind that had been put up in like the early 1800s. It said he was either going to head towards a town called Illyria, or another one called Cromwell. He raised his eyebrows and looked towards both snow covered streets, trying to decide what was the safest bet...

Icarus continued to concentrate before opening her eyes. When she gazed down at the map, she saw a small bat icon sitting in the middle of nowhere. The nightingale stared at the map confusedly. "I can see him but... But he's in the middle of nowhere...." she muttered, even showing Benjamin. After showing thr Spaniard, Icarus got the map to zoom out. "Alright. He's near Illyria and Cromwell... Do you know where that is?" Icarus asked, looking to Benjamin.

Benjamin nodded, taking the magical map. "I'm sure we can get there in the morning. But how the hell did he get there already? It should've taken him much longer, especially if he's on foot or being driven by someone else."

Icarus watched Benjamin before shrugging. "A minor detail. The main thing is we know where he is. And we'll meet him soon." she said hopefully, laying back on her bed and smiling. She was filled with renewed joy that Jethrow was somewhat close by. She could already picture picking him back up and them being together again.

Benjamin smiled when he saw Icarus relaxing and he settled into his bed. "Good night, Icarus. We'll find him in the morning."
Jethrow, meanwhile, had decided to trudge his way to Illyria, but the sun had started to peer over the mountains in no time. Luckily, there was a run down shack on the side of the road, and though it had no windows or doors, there was a trapdoor that led into a relatively well kept cellar.

Icarus smiled to Benjamin before falling asleep for the night. The nightingale dreamed peacefully that night, dreaming of her vampire boyfriend and their love.
The next morning, Icarus woke up and stretched deeply. She looked out the window to find it was still morning. The clock confirmed this. Though Benjamin seemed to still be asleep, Icarus ordered them some breakfast from room service so they could eat, get ready, and go grab Jethrow.
