Welcome to Gaia! ::

Haiden's gaze was downcast as he greet Alexi. "Thank you. I'm not hungry." He replied trying to be as polite as possible. The demon shuffled his feet a little in the sand as if mulling over a lot of things, which he was. Especially now there was another person with him.

"Well? Aren't you going to introduce us?" A soft female voice asked, as the other looked Alexi over with a smile.
Haiden shuffled again. He made and awkward gesture to Alexi, his head hung low and his eyes on his feet. "This is Alexi." He said before throwing his arm back quickly and carelessly to the woman. "Alexi, this is my sister... Sun-dance... I think..." He muttered glancing at her with his last words.

"Fear not kitten. I am myself, and no other." The woman said holding her hand out to Alexi with a polite smile, and slight curtsy. Haiden lifted his hand to him mouth and bit down on a nail, though not breaking it. "I sure hope so..." he muttered through clenched teeth.

"I'm sorry." Mercutio said turning back to the others.
"Who's Sun-dance?" His brother asked curiously. He thought he knew everything about his brother, but apparently not.

"Haiden, you have to come back now, ok?" The strange woman said taking his wrist in her hand.
The demon shook his head. "I'm not going back. I can't." He muttered still looking down.
"The human girl?"
Haiden nodded slowly.
"Forget her. She's lucky she's not dead. There's nothing you can do anymore." The woman said taking a step closer.
Haiden shook his head. "I have to stay. I can't go back... I still don't know what I was thinking... She's pregnant..." He muttered yanking his arm free.
The woman looked stunned. "..You didn't... Are you insane!! No wonder Pandora was so pissed! She's angry enough about that werewolf boy!" She said starting to raise her voice. She turned her gaze to Alexi and smiled a little. "I'm sorry. I must seem rather rude right now. May I ask if I can stay a while? I have some things to discuss with Mercutio, and now my brother." She asked with a slightly apologetic look.

"Sun-dance... is the reason I'm still living..." He muttered forgetting none of the other's had no idea what was going on. He shook his head and picked Jynelle up. "She'll want to come and see me..." He said after a few seconds of silence.

Sun-dance thanked him kindly and headed for the house, her lethargic brother shuffling behind her. "Do hurry up Haiden." She snapped, yet somehow managed to hold a comforting tone.
She knocked on the door a few times before taking off her shoes so she wouldn't bring sand into the house. "That feels better." She muttered.

Niro got up to let them in, blinking when he saw Sun-dance. She looked like a gypsy only her clothing wasn't quite so bright. "Come in... We were kind of expecting you." he muttered not wanting to keep her out unless she started something.

The two came in and met the others at the table, following Niro's lead. "Good morning. I hope I am not interrupting anything." Sun-dance said flicking her eyes from each person until she rested them on Mercutio. "Kitten. Sit down. I'll have a talk with you later, when the woman of yours is here." She said turning to Haiden behind her.

Sun-dance's expression was unchanged as she watched the blonde and the youngsters run off.
"Mercutio, what happened to your shoulders?" She asked quite suddenly, only just noticing the bandages. Haiden raised his hand and twisted his wrist slightly to indicated it was his fault.

"Sun-dance... why are you here?" Mercutio asked looking up at the woman. "I don't want to see you." He said looking at Koe for a split second, "I told you I wanted nothing to do with you anymore."

The cat demon looked like she took some offense by his words. "I am sorry, but I did not come here on personal business. I need the ring back." She said in a harsh kind of tone, "There's an important ritual I need to perform using it."

"Just who are you to talk like that?" the gypsy asked resting her gaze on Koe.
"He's..." Mercutio started, but was suddenly interrupted.
"Your lover? My my... Mercutio Jaklyn I never suspected for a second that you'd ever swing that way. This doesn't concern you however." Sun-dance said looking the other demon over a few times.
Mercutio sighed and put Jynelle on the ground. "Go find Raeli, love. This adult talk will just bore you." He muttered to her giving her a quick hiss on the forehead. "Look. I don't care what you want or need, just leave."
"I can't leave without it Mercutio! They're not going to let me come back until I do." She said slightly distressed over the whole issue.

"What ring?" Niro asked, having never seen or heard of it before.
"I haven't got it anymore. It was to help me control myself during cravings." Mercutio said shaking his head. "I can't imagine what you'd need it for other than a curse." He said looking up at Sun-dance who looked even more distressed.

The woman shook her head.
"If his brother doesn't know, then it's a private thing. If it's private then it only concerns me and him." She turned to Mercutio and leaned over the table.
"You didn't loose it you liar! If you had then you would not dare look at me. If you really must know, I need it for a summoning. Forget everything I told you and just give it to me!" She said in a quite threatening tone.
Mercutio shook his head, "Pandora, I'm not going to let you raise him from the dead. He took his own life, which clearly means he doesn't care about you enough to want to be with you. Stop this nonsense and give the poor girl her body back."
"Mercutio!" the woman screamed leaping over the table and digging teeth into the werewolf's arm.
Catching her and falling to the floor, Mercutio grunted with the pain of both his new injuries and the pain of his shoulders from the fall. Mercutio pried the girl off and threw her. Without meaning to the werewolf had thrown her into a kitchen bench, breaking her arm.
The woman stopped still and straightened herself. "I'm so glad your not as easy to fool, Mercutio Jaklyn. Kitten, can you try and find some herbs on the list I gave you? Even after all these years my dear sister is still determined, though Janaski is well rotted in the ground." She muttered, seemingly unaffected by the pain of her arm.

Haiden hesitated before skitting off to find the ingredients on his sister's list. "Koe, I am terribly sorry you had to suffer so. I fear it is my fault Mercutio was attacked, and I take full responsibility for what happened. Please forgive me, all of you, for dragging you into this mess." She said in a soft but strong tone.

Sun-Dance nodded politely. "I will leave now then. Mercutio-love, can you send Haiden down to the beach when he gets back. I have to make sure Pandora won't try to take hold of us again. Especially Now that girl is pregnant." She said walking up to Mercutio and kissing his cheek. "I am truly sorry for causing so many problems on your holiday. None of you deserve this." She added before gliding out the front door.

Mercutio looked at Koe and sighed. "What a mess." He muttered feeling rather guilty over the whole matter. He turned to Alexi and Sacha with an apologetic look for nearly hitting them before.

Niro looked at each person individually and shook his head. "Okay. We need to start this holiday off fresh. Now that that woman is gone... Or close to, we can hopefully enjoy ourselves." He said resting his gaze on Aiden.

Niro smiled and shook his head. "Where were we? I believe you were going to take me on a date." He said as if he had to think about it. He grabbed Aiden's waist and drew him in closer for a kiss.

"You alright?" Mercutio asked watching Koe. He probably already knew the answer, but there was no harm in asking was there?
Finch glanced from Koe to Aiden and then to Alexi. 'Prayer beads?' did that mean Alexi had some two? He walked over and stood beside Alexi, leaning on his shoulder with a faint smile.
