Melantha sighs as she sits in the study room with her twin. Since she had found the note from her wife, she had become very distance from the rest of the family. She wasn't sure what to think anymore. She lost her wife, and now she was worried about their twins. Pushing her black hair with blood red highlights away from her face she pulls her knees to her chest. She was once again dressed in leather, only this time it was a black leather halter dress. Tugging on her fishnet fingerless gloves, she seem like a caged cat. Ready to strike if pushed to the point of no return.
Krista was down in the kitchen, mixing herself a banana and peach smoothie. She was worried, but she was also doing her best not to show it. For her sake as well as Melantha's sake. Shortly after her sister left her wife, Rinion went after her. She trusted Rinion with her life. But part of her couldn't help but wonder if he was okay. Wiping at her brow with her blue off the shoulder long sleeve jumper she sighs.
Her life had been flipped upside down. Tinania had vanish, yet she knew her youngest daugther was safe. She seem to always know when her family was safe. Everyone but Rinion, she couldn't feel him at all. Looking down at growing belly, she chuckles feeling the young boy inside her kick in reponds "I know...mommy is going to eat soon."

"Listen to me, toror," Lenore started as they walked toward the front door to the main home of the Haven. She stopped walking, and looked over at Rinion. "I do not want you to tell anyone how you found me, or what happened afterwards. It is your own bloody fault for coming after me in the first place."
Rinion could tell that Lenore was still angry over that. Now that he had seen the depths to which her anger went, and just how she behaved, he was not wanting to anger her more than he really had to.
His eyes trailed over her appearance. There was still blood smudge on her jaw bone, and her dress and robes were a bit tattered, and a bloody mess.
When he found her crouched over the body of a woman, lapping at the blood coming from the wound on her neck, he knew that he had to get her somewhere private.
It wasn't that he wasn't used to her being what she was. It was what she had done to the poor woman. The only reason her head was still attached to her body was because Lenore did not sever her spine. But, other than that, her neck was non-existant, it was just one big gaping wound. There were claw marks all over her body, and blood all over Lenore.
"Believe me, seler, it is my deepest desire to not even think about what I saw in that alley," Rinion said.
"And, the other?" Lenore pushed.
Rinion was brought back to that night, again. When he called out her name, it was not his sister who looked up at him. For lack of a better description, she looked like a wild animal. And, when she lunged at him, it was all he could do to keep her from tearing out his own throat.
"Again, I do not wish to even think about that night," he repeated.
Lenore nodded, she would have to be satisfied with that response.
Once she entered the home, she felt her nightmare fly right at her. He was, no doubt, attracted to her foul mood. "Cerebus!" Lenore cried, trying to keep him from landing on her shoulder. "Leave me!"
If anyone were close by, they would undoubtedly have heard her cry, and Rinion's soft laughter over the situation lacing Lenore's curses.

It was Krista who heard all the noise coming from the main room. Waddling in she chuckles, as if she wasn't suprise to see them bome "You two make alot of noise you know that?" her smile was as radiant as ever. Placing her hands carefully on her hips she looks them both over, she learn over the years to not ask Lenore any question. It was best to allow her to come to her. Looking towards her husband she smiels to him, she wouldn't deny that she missed him. He was her life, she was just happy to see him home.
Upstairs in the Silme part of the manor, Melantha push out of her chair. Pulling her hair up into a ponytail, she moves over to the bed with a open bag on it. Her clothes were carefully folded in it. She been debating with herself for awhile now, leaving was the only option left. She couldn't stay anymore, it just hurt to much to be in this home.
Wiggling her hand, her finger shifted forming a hunter hat. Placing the hat over her head, to cover her eyes. She zips the bag up, she just couldn't do this anymore. Picking up the back, she slips it over her back as she moves towards the window.
Glancing back she closes her eyes bfore she leaps out of the window. Landing carefully on the grass below. She walks down the path, leading off the estate. She would head to Durem, then catch the train there. Where she would go, she had no clue.

"Who let him back into the house?" Lenore demanded, glaring at the nightmare on her shoulder. She could feel him sucking up her emotions, and she didn't like it. Bloody parasite, that was all the nightmare was. . . .
Rinion ignored his sister and walked over to his wife. He gave her a kiss. It was soft, but it spoke volumes. "You do not know how happy I am to see you," he said, slipping an arm around her. "How have you been? Are you and the baby alright?"
Lenore rolled her eyes, and started toward the kitchen. She was starving. It didn't seem to matter how big of a meal she had, she just seemed to be hungry fifteen minutes later.
As she walked toward the kitchen, she smelled the familiar scents of the people that lived here. She could smell that Nyoka had been here, and Eirnae had as well. She frowned, and peeked out of the kitchen again.
"Listen, I am sorry to interrupt you, but. . . . Kris, where's Mel?" she asked. "When I saw you, I was hoping she wouldn't be too far behind . . . I need to talk to her."

Krista wraps her arms around Rinion's neck, returning the soft kiss. Pulling back she chuckels "I'm alright, as is the little boy. He kicking up a storm though because he knows I should be eatting." with a light chuckle, she looks down at her stomach, just in time to see another kick to her stomach.
Glancing up, she frowns alittle before pulling away from Rinion for a moment "Um....Lenore...Mel's leaving. She picked up the secent of Eirnae not to long ago. She was upstairs last I checked, but her train leaves tonight. Where I don't know. I tried to talk her out of it, but you know how she is. She thought she had nothing left here for her...." slipping a hand into Rinion's hand, she chews at her bottom lip. She was hoping Mel would have come downstairs, but she knew she didn't.
Moving through the forest, she whistles into the shadows as she pauses. Glancing around she search the darkness, until she spotted the glowing red eyes. A smile forms as she see her youngest child Lillith step from the shadows.
Lillith purrs, as her gray tail with light blue strips brushes the ground. She too was no longer a child, she was a teenager now. And one of the hunters of the forest now. Pushing her emerald green hair with light blue tips from her face she smiles to her mother. Her demon wings fold around her shoulder "So your really leaving?"
Melantha nods as she pulls out a bow from her bag. Handing it to the kitten she looks up into her eyes "I want you to guard this place. Everything I taught you, I want you to use. Let no one into the forest."
Lillith nods as she smiles alittle "I will protect our home mother, you be careful." squeezing the bow, she steps aside as she watches her mother continue down the path, only to slip beyond the barrier that kept the outsider from their home. Brushing as her face quickly, the demon cat jumps into the tree, then leaps deeper into the forest.

Rinion watched as Lenore frowned. "Well, hell," she said. She had left Mel a note, she had left because she didn't want to do to someone at the Haven what she did to that woman in the alley.
Yes, she had come back, briefly. And, yes, she knew that Eirnae was back, she spoke to her. And, she had stayed gone because, after the talk with Eirnae, she felt the bloodlust surging again.
She slammed the glass she had grabbed onto the counter, and stormed out of the house, slamming the door behind her.
She was frustrated, yes. Very frustrated. She loved Mel, but she was sick of how she always chose to run away without waiting for an explination from anyone.
At this point, she really wasn't in the mood to coddle anyone. Mel knew what she was marrying into when she got into this, and she was, quite frankly, tired of having to deal with this stuff.
She followed the path that she knew Mel would be taking, and when she thought she spotted her, she leaped into the air.
She landed gracefully a little behind Mel, allowing her knees to buckle to absorb the shock of the landing. When she stood, she put her hands on her hips, her growing belly sticking out in the process. "Well, this is a lovely welcome home," she said, as she felt Cerebus land on her shoulder once more.
Rinion had jumped at the slam of the door. He knew Lenore was in a horrible mood, and this only made it worse. He had a feeling that they were about to have their first row as a married couple. . . .
He shook his head. "I am glad to hear that you both are doing well," he told Krista, pretending that his sister didn't just storm out of the house. "And, if you're hungry, go sit down. I will bring you some food. What would you like to eat, mela?"

Melantha seem to continue to walk, she didn't stop at all when Lenore spoke. Pausing at the street corner, her cell phone goes off. But that too seems to go unnoticed. Crossing the street, her skin seem to shift forming a long coat around her body as the cold wind hits her. Holding onto the hunter's hat she steps onto the sidewalk.
Krista smiles as she takes a seat in the recliner "I was making myself some smooties. Seems to settle this little one inside me." pauing she pushes her short hair from her face "So care to explain to me what has happen to you. You seem slightly jarred."

Lenore quirked a brow, and frowned. Fine. If she wanted to act like that.
She shook her head, completely disgusted over how Mel was acting, and leapt into the air once more. She rode the wind for a while, before landing once more.
It wasn't long after that when she took to the air again. After a few more leaps, she was in front of Laer's home and knocking on the door. When he opened it and invited her in, she went inside.
"I don't really want to talk a lot right now, I just need to get away from the main home. Besides, you're one of my best friends, and I know you will just let me . . . sit here," Lenore finished, rather lamely.
Laer quirked his brow, but didn't say a word. Since Lenore had made it a habit of visiting him often before she left, he kept a stock of blood around for her. "Are you hungry?"
"Yes, very," Lenore said.
Laer only nodded, and went to get her a glass.
Rinion frowned, looking really torn at this moment. "Kris, you know I don't like keeping secrets . . . but, it really isn't my place to say. If Lenore wants people to know, I would rather it be her that talked about it. . . ." He leaned over and squeezed her hand, hoping that she would understand.
Not really trying to change the subject, and Kris would know that anyway, he asked, "What kind of smoothies were you making, just so I don't bring you one that you don't want to drink. . . ."

Drac steps out of Laer's room, her hand holding a wet towel as she drys off her hair. Blinking she looks at her aunt as her jaw drops "Aunt Lenore? When did you get home? Does Aunt Mel know your back?" she was so stuck on the fact that her aunt was back, she forgot she was only in a pair of jeans, and nothing else. Her tail twitch as she blinks a few more times, she knew Lenore had left. She just didn't know why this time.
Krista nods before she closes her eyes "Banana and strawberry...and your right. I should let her come to me. I just hope she doesn't give on Mel, she hasn't been the same..." looking back down at her stomach, she though over the past few months. The night when she heard the explosion in the study.
Her twin, who wasn't a master of the potion crafting, decided to try her luck. She had followed the potion to a tee, until she picked up the wrong phial of blood. Instead of grabbing for the blood of a vampire, she picked up the blood of a dragon. The potion then blew up her in face, causing her twin to lose her hearing.
Krista had tried everything, but none of the magic she knew seem to work. She wasn't sure what Mel was up to, as she never got to ask her. Mel had locked herself deep within her own world. The only person she seem to ever go to was her demon cat Lillith.
Snapping back to her sense she rubs at her stomach, she sighs once again before she watches Rinion. She was glad to have him back, if it wasn't for the child she was carrying, she would show him how much she missed him.
Melantha stops just near the wall wrapping around the city of Durem. Watching the people as they walk pass her, she shakes her head, before actually moving along the outside of the wall. Heading deeper into the forest that lies beyonf the City of Darkness as it was called now.

Lenore looked up when she heard her name. With a sigh, she pulled her wand out from the inner pocket of her robe, and then flicked it in Drac's direction. The towel Drac was holding pulled itself out of her grasp, and wrapped tightly around Drac's chest.
"Forgive me, dear, but I am really not in the mood to stare at your goodies," Lenore managed a half-hearted smile that didn't reach her angry eyes. "And, I got back a few moments ago. I saw Mel, and she ignored me." she shrugged. "To answer your questions." She didn't ask what Drac was doing here, she didn't much care. Laer's private life was his own.
It was then that Laer came out with Lenore's glass of blood. He looked over at Drac, and had to stifle a laugh. "Here," he said to Lenore, handing her the glass.
"Thanks," was all Lenore said, before she took a long gulp of her meal. The twins were moving restlessly in her stomach, but she knew that they would soon be a little lazy after their meal.
Rinion wasn't too long in the kitchen. He soon returned to Krista's side, handing her the smoothie. "What do you mean, Mel hasn't been the same?" he asked.

Drac looks down, before she mews. Her face turning a few shades darker before her ears twitch. Moving towards Laer, she wraps an arm carefully around him. Her tail twitches nervously as she chews on her bottom lip "That is probably because she couldn't hear you, if you weren't standing in front of her Auntie."
Krista looks up at her husband before back down at her stomach. Taking a sip of her smoothie, she starts to explain about the night the expolsion happen. How she had come downstairs only to find her twin covered from head to toe in black gloop. Then the following morning when Melantha wasn't able to hear any of them.
Pausing just outside Durem's graveyard. Melantha push the hat up above her eyes. She look over the tomes as she walks through the cemetary, her eyes pausing as she looks over the names. Shaking her head, she sighs as she looks up towards the huge Manor that loom beyond the Manor. She heard the tales of this place, how if you stepped into it, you never came out of it the same.

Lenore's only response to what Drac said was a cocked eyebrow, and a face that seemed to say, Explain.
Rinion is silent the whole time Krista was explaining what happened, and he was silent for a while after that. "Well, that could prove difficult for the both of them. . . . And, she is leaving because Eirnae is back?" he asked.

Drac sighs before she goes about explain the whole potion. How Mel was making it just to see if she could even see Lenore, only to have it blow up in her face. It was the next morning when they all found out she couldn't hear any of them "She seem to shut down shortly afterward, she didn't talk to any of us. She just did her own thing, but we knew she was visiting her demon kitten Lillith. We spotted her near the edge of the darker part of the estate. Its where the kitten seems to live." slipping away from from Laer, she moves towards the kitchen.
"I remember shortly after Aunt Eirnae appeared, she became interested in a Manor just outside of Durem. Rumor has it, the Von Helson sisterd are back. And the city of Durem is filled of vampires now." with a shrug she pours herself a drink of milk "And that the Von Helson sisters are turning anyone willing." slipping back into the main room, she leans against the wall as she sips at her drink.
Krista sighs aas she shakes her head "I really don't know. Part of me believes that might be the cast. But Melantha loves Lenore, I know because I have heard her crying and hugging the blanket of their bed. So I don't knwo what is going on in my twins mind at this point." looking up at him, she runs her fingers up his arm.
Resting against the fence around the cemtary. She pulls out a flash filled with water, taking a sip of it. Her eyes watche of the Manor. Creature flew in and out of it, shadows seem to loom over every part of it. A shiver runs down her body before she shakes her head. She had to do this, if she wanted her wife back, she had to.

Lenore paled, if that were possible. "They're turning whoever is willing?" she asked. Being pregnant, she didn't want to risk Disapparating, given what happened when she was pregnant with Damien. "I won't be able to get to her in time, if that is what she is doing. . . ." she looked over ar Drac and Laer. "I don't suppose either of you know how to do something that is the equivilent of Disapparating. . . .?"
Rinion shivered when Krista ran her finger up his arm. He smiled down at her, and pulled her closer to him. He didn't know what to say about Mel, so he kept quiet. He guessed he was lucky that Krista didn't seem the type to do just run away. . . .

Wrapping her arms around her husband's neck, Krista leans up brushing her lips across his. She didn't realize until she was actually in Rinion's arms, just how much he made her feel alive. Pulling back from the kiss, she rest her forehead against his neck "I missed you so much, and I was scared. But I never gave up hope.."
Drac blinks before she nods alittle "I know how to, its a teleporting spell. But I would have to be under a full moon or cresent moon for it to work." she knew, that she be able to teleport her aunt just a few miles away from Von Helson matter. Looking over at Laer, she bites at her bottom lip "I'll only be able to get you just outside Halloween Town. Which is a few miles for Von Helson Manor."
Pushing off the fence, Mel shifted until her body became that of her White panther form. Moving with graceful speed, she makes her way towards the Manor.
There standing right at the bridge, were two males. There ever narrow as Mel walks up towards the bridge slowly. teeth gleaming one male steps closer as the other keeps guard "Why do you come to this place shifter?"
Mel's green cate eyes look up at the male vampire. Her heart beating hard against ehr chest as she bows her head. Shifting, her long black hair encases her face as she looks up at the male. She didn't speak, instead she just looks at them both.
The male who remained quiet simply chuckles before he nods "Let her by, she be a lovely new addition to the family." his eyes gaze over mel's body as she walks past them both.
