It was a quick stop. Walk in, grab a bagel, her cellphone, quiet bathroom stop, and back out. She couldn't stand being in there right now. Not with the uncomfortable silence that overwelmed the house as of recently. It was normal. That house was never quiet, espically with Greyling in the house. But even he had been quiet recently... Isdra didn't even stop to say 'hi' to Irvine.
There wasn't even a sound as she turned on the car and left once again. On her way down the room, she pulled the cellphone out of her pocket and flipped if open. "P...p...p....There." Right as she found it she slammed on the brakes. A small boy had ran into the road near her. Not close enough to hit him, but still close. It took a minute to catch her breath, but she pressed dail and waited for it to ring to start moving. "Ohmigod..."
"Papina? It's Isdra... Can I.... Can I come over? I really need to talk to someone... Please? I mean I really need to talk.... Thanks..." She hung up the phone and threw it into the seat next to her. She didn't want to bother with it again. She didn't want to deal with anything anymore. It was too much lately. Pulling into Papina's drive way, she put the car in park and grabbed her cell phone as she got out. Isdra quickly locked the doors and walked up to the front door, eating her bagel.

Papina pulled out her cell phone and glanced at it as it started to ring. Isdra? She looked around before she flipped it open to answer. "Yeah? Isdra? Come over?" She blinked before pondering for a quick moment. Isdra needed to talk and was asking first? That sounded bad. "Sure... You're welcome..." She snapped the phone shut, Isdra having hung up.
She got up and did a quick check to make sure Luna was asleep before she went to the living room. She started to pace just inside the front door, wondering what was with Isdra as she waited for the other scroll child to get there. She snapped her head up at the sound of a car pulling up. Already? Praying her mother wouldn't find out she had opened the door without knowing for certain-sure who was on the other side, she unlocked the door and opened it, poking her head out to see if it was Isdra.

Offering a wave, Isdra greeted the other teen. "Hey..." A smile covered for face as she waited for the other teen to react. Even if she was trying to hide that something was wrong, it wasn't working. Isdra didn't smile normally, so if was just more a hint that something was wrong. "Can I come in...?" And eyebrow rose as she wondered if they were going to talk outside.

Papina offered a small wave back as she opened the door further to see Isdra better. "Hey..." she said back, noting the smile on Isdra's face. Isdra? Smiling? Oh dear, it must be really bad... She raised eyebrow in thought before Isdra asked to come in. Oops. Her face flushed bright red as she backed out of the doorway and waved for Isdra to come in. "Of course," she managed finally, lowering her voice so she wouldn't wake Luna. "Just be aware that Luna's sleeping now, and if she wakes up, it'll take hours to get her to go back to sleep." She shook her head, mystified on how Reign ever managed to care for Luna that once.

"Ah. I'll attempt to silence my rabid screams then," The jest was, for once, in good humor. That had been rare in the past few days and it was a treat to be alble to joke again. "So where are we headed in this house?" She looked about and took in the house. It was nice. It made her miss her own house.

Papina paused as she mentally brought up a map of the house and tried to figure out where they could go to talk without disturbing anyone. "... I'd say my room, but it's right next to Luna's so..." She sighed and rubbed her face with one hand as she continued to think. "... I suppose we could go to the kitchen... at least for a while..." She removed her hand to look at Isdra to see what she thought of this, "Unless you want to just talk here." They were in the living room after all. It had several sitting spots and a t.v. to boot.

Isdra looked about and although it was open, it was quite comfy and she liked that. Made her feel more secure. "Here is fine," she muttered as she walked and made herself cozy in a chair. It was only natural that she sat cross-legged on it, but she didn't worry about it becuase she had taken her shoes off. "Um... So I'm guessing you haven't heard about the recent events that have happened around me? Unless someone told you..."

Papina sprawled out on a sofa, resting her chin on her arms as she gazed thoughtfully at Isdra, pondering that last part. "No..." she said finally, being unable to recall anything being said recently about Isdra, "I haven't."
((Oooo... I heard a song that I think Isdra should listen to... ;>> It's called "It's Not Over" and it's the first song of the cd album "Daughtry". Very cool song.))

"Heh, not quite sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing..." Her mind thought about it. All of the stuff she'd been through recently. It kind of made her laugh. "You know... It's funny. I thought my life would always be happy... All love and hugs. Just the way it was... Let me break it to you from personal experience.
"Life doesn't stay happy. There'll be a time when everything just falls down. Weather it goes back or not, I can't tell you, but life will change and it will suck." This is the point where it hit her again and she started crying. Not a sob, can't breathe cry, but the tears streaming down your face from the shear emotion. "That's what happened to me recently... Maybe I'm melodramtic, but... Papina... It really sucks right now." Now is when the sobing, can't breathe crap kicked in.

Papina's eyes went wide with shock and in the next instant Papina was sitting on the chair arm next to Isdra with one hand clasped gently yet firmly on Isdra's shoulder to show her support. Considering it was Isdra, hugs were not advised, not until asked anyways.
"Isdra, you still haven't told me what exactly happened..." she half-prompted, half-complained softly, her voice tense. It was hard to help out when you hadn't a clue what was going on, but it was even harder just sitting there watching a friend suffer and feeling helpless to do something, anything.

"It's a ton of stuff. I'm now the mother of twins, not biological, but I have no choice, me and my dad aren't talking, I have have to move out, but I have to either live in the library or an apartment. But the only way I can live in the apartment is if I get seals and stuff on it because the Templars are going to hunt me down. I don't know how anything stands with Halcyon. My past life is starting to come back and every kid I see makes me hurt a little inside. Not the fact I can't breakdown at all in my own house because of the twins..."
It's was all put in one huge sentance, trying to get it all out at once. It was all she could to do voice what had happened. The odd thing was it was easier for her to tell Papina then people closer to her. Why was it alway that way?

((*colors Papina's voice to pick it out easier for this post* ;>>))
Papina was silent for a long moment, first because she had to pick it apart to make sense of it, and then in shock because of the overwhelming-ness of it. "Oh wow..." she finally breathed out. A small pause as it finally came crashing down as a whole. "Ow..." Damn. No wonder Isdra was like this. She'd personally be curled up in a little ball if all that had happened to her that quickly. Wait... "Past life?" Her voice sounded rather confused there. She hadn't been getting any clues of her past life... Then again, it might be a good thing, all things considering. Less to worry about. She started to review what else Isdra had told her. "... You have to move out? Wait... Templars are hunting you??! ... Twins?!!" Dang, that was a lot of info to try and get all at once, but she was going to try.
"... Do you want me to move in with you to try and help out with... all this?"

She nodded to everything. It was all a yes and all true. "I think... I think I need handle this by myself... Even if it's hard. That's why I couldn't tell Halcyon everything. I mean... I wanted to, but... He'd want to help so bad and I couldn't turn him down, I know I couldn't. He tries so hard and yet he has to deal with me. I'm horrible... He should choose someone else to be with. I'm not good enough for him..." He'd tried so hard to help her when they had their date, but it was useless. She couldn't tell him anything, because she could except his help.
"Yes, I have to move out. Nara said so herself. It was the only way me and the twins would be protected from the Templars... I guess the templars hate anyother religion other then their own, so since I'm bonded to deities, they're after me more than they usually would for us, us being scroll kids." Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out a small picture. It was a picture of the twins. "That's them. Tai's on the left and Marik's on the right..."

Papina's eyes went even rounded for a moment before she went quiet and solemn. "If that's the way you feel..." she sounded rather disappointed, but it was hard to tell for sure. It sounded more like the calm before the storm. She took a glance at the picture, noting the two in her mind before she started to build up to a rant. "But Isdra... that's a lot to handle... you may not think it, but you do need help... even if only for a little while until you're ready to handle it, and I mean ready." She glared fiercely at Isdra when she said that last part, meaning it. "No one should have to go through that alone, you included! I mean..." she visibly grasped for words for a moment. "I mean... we're teens, Isdra. Not adults, not yet, and I'm not even certain that most adults could handle that! I know that I'd be willing to accept help if I was in that mess. In fact, even if I didn't want help, I'd still need it! Isdra," she finally stopped her rant, sounding exasperated, "why do you think you need to handle this on your own?" Her voice ended on a high pitch, sounding frustrated.

"Because it's how I've always been. Indepence is something that I've always hard and it's hard, Papina." It was an attempt at pointing out that she'd never needed help and at random, everything broke and she now needed it. "It's hard to stop what you've always done. How you've always lived. It's like admiting defeat! That just makes it feel more like I'm breaking! That's what it's felt like this last week!" Her tears got worse as she yelled back at Papina. It was like she couldn't help but yell. "The one person I had always relied on for everything has left me! The one person that knew just how to respond and get me to do things has left alone to deal with my life! And I don't know what to do with it...." At this point she was clinging to Papina, like her lifeline.
((That one person being her dad))
