Kuoni frowned. She definitly had not expected the reaction she got. Was that fear? She stood as she had when she stepped in, but the mood in her mind was a lot different. She was ready for rolled eyes, maybe and insult or two, but fear and sadness? Maybe it was because she's an adult now? Or, maybe Aphrodite really did speak the truth earlier... Could Vipin really be sorry? Plastering her neutral face back on, she cleared her throat. "Where's this room?"
She paused. "And please don't push the door open before I ask you to this time." She asked softly, her own fear growing as the moment came closer. She cleared her throat again, setting it back to neutral.

Aphrodite sighed when Vipin left. He didn't even apologize but he probably was shocked to see Kuoni here and forgot. "Um... I think it's the third door on the right." She said walking forward, "Sure but Blue's door is usually left open." She hoped that nothing had changed in the cabin otherwise she might be in trouble while she walked.
~In the Moonlit's room~
Vipin ran to his bed, his little heart beating furiously in his chest. Kuoni was back... and mad still.... and he forgot to apologize!!!!! He mentally chided himself at forgetting that and shook his head. "Okay. I'll apologize after she's done talking to grandma... Oh great she's going to loony grandma." He said to himself. He covered his head with his paws and waited for the yelling to start.

Giving the door Vipin had vanished through one more glance, Kuoni padded down the hall, not aware that she was walking as quietly as she could, nearly holding her breath. 'The third door on the right.' She counted as she passed the first door, then the second.
She stopped just short of the third door. "Maybe you should go first." She whispered. Like the stairwell back at the main house, the doorway to the room seemed to open and close, collapse and expand, like she had to time it to be able to get through. Did Fiorenza really reside in the room? Would anyone else be there?

Aphrodite sighed as she followed Kuoni. "Sure." She said. She then stepped into the room and heard a sharp intake of air. "Fiorenza are you in here?" She asked, "I have someone who wants to see you...."
Fiorenza looked up and took in a sharp breath when she saw Aphrodite. "You..... you're back...." She said her voice hoarse, "What do you want? Who is here to see me?" Suddenly her eyes narrowed and she growled. "You're here to play a nasty trick on me aren't you?! Just leave me be!"

Kuoni's eyes widened. Was that Fiorenza's voice? It was so... not how she remembered. Sounded old and worn. 'Serves her right.' She shook her head at the thought. 'Aphrodite said to change that kind of thinking.'
Now Fiorenza sounded angry.
She wasn't sure what to do. Would going in make her more upset than she sounded? She stayed still, waiting for a sign from Aphrodite, her nerves making her legs shake slightly.

Aphrodite's blind eyes grew wide at Fiorenza's accusation. "I would never do that Fiorenza. You know me..." She said waving to Kuoni. Perhaps seeing Kuoni would make Fiorenza calm down.
"You damn kids..... playing nasty tricks and saying awful things." Fiorenza said turning from Aphrodite to a pillow on the floor, "I'll teach you for doing those..... nasty.... *begins sobbing* tricks..... and saying *sobs* lies!" She lunges for the pillow thinking it is another wolf, her mind playing tricks with her mind. Once she lands on it she breaks down sobbing and crying out Kuoni's and then Mikey's name.
((I should tell you since I haven't updated with Mikey yet or added it to the rp here but Fiorenza has a couple of scratches on her right shoulder and her left ear is all scared up and limp. These are from the Mikey incident....))

Kuoni saw the anthro's wave, but after placing one paw forward she hesitated. They had said Fiorenza was going off the deep end, but she once again hadn't been ready. What was happing to her in there?
Her body seemed to jolt when Fiorenza called her name. "MOM!" She yelp worridly, jumping into the room. She stopped halfway between Fiorenza and Aphrodite. 'What did I just say?' But that question paled next to the sight of her mother. She looked like she had been in a fight... "Fiorenza?" She breathed, afraid to make another move.

Aphrodite sat down near the door unable to believe how bad Fiorenza had gotten. She would stay here for now until she was sure that Kuoni would be safe with Fiorenza.
Fiorenza looked up when she heard someone call out Mom. "Kuoni? My baby... is that really you?" She said looking at Kuoni with tears still falling down. She stopped and shook her head. No it wasn't her baby, Kuoni. This wolf was an adult and the flower patterns were different. "No. You're not my baby! Why must you all plague me with visions of my baby?!" She cried before burying her head in the pillow. Soon after she did that anger welled up at the visions and impostors and everything else (the stuff she sees that isn't really there). She lifted her head and glared at Kuoni, her madness (craziness) visible in her eyes. "You..... I'll make you pay for tormenting me!" She yelled trying to stand. However her legs had grown quite weak and her right shoulder and leg were causing her too much pain for her to stand. She fell down in a heap and glared at Kuoni.

Kuoni's lip shook fearfully. What had happened? Even Fiorenza didn't deserve to see whatever demon's she was seeing. She took a half step forward. "No, it is me. I grew in the woods. And , the flowers-" She shook her head. "I'm not sure how it happened. But it is me. Kuoni." She sat down, trying to look as non-threatening as possible. "I'm here. And..." She blinked at a sudden flow of tears. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have run away. I shouldn't-" Her voice caught. She couldn't breath well. What? She wanted to say so many things... but how to say it? Why was her chest so tight? "Please forgive me."

Fiorenza growled when Aphrodite made a move like she was going to get up. She then turned her attention to the one trying to trick her.... trying to rip her heart out and destroy what remained of her mind. "No.... you're not my baby.... Kuoni's gone." She said in a whisper, "Gone forever because of me." She began sobbing again and began to shake her head. "My fault... All my fault. If I hadn't yelled and been so ruff on her.... If I yelled at Vipin.... she'd still be here." She cried before the gleam of madness return, "You b*****d! VIPIN! AISLING! I'll make you pay! I'll get you Vipin! Enigma.... how could you leave me! ..... Where's my babies? Where is my little girl and boy?" She looked at Kuoni as if she had never seen her before. "Have you seen my baby girl, Kuoni?"

Kuoni's breath was short and shallow. She had caused fiorenza to become this. "Momma!" She gasped, not realizing she hadn't said Fiorenza. "It's me! I'm here!" She couldn't stop the flow of tears. Her legs feeling like rubber and unsupportive, she lowered herself onto her belly. "It's me!" She cried.
Her feelings of hate... where did they go? She realized, everything she had believed while in the woods, it really wasn't true. All she wanted was to run and comfort her mother, but she couldn't move. Why did her flowers have to change?! She had wanted it before, not now though, and deep inside she knew they would stay as they are. She couldn't change them again.
"I overreacted momma! I got scared and ran away. I ran because of me!" Her chest tightened again. "There's no such thing as gone forever." She said, the tightness making her voice sound distant.

Fiorenza stared at Kuoni for a minute before her face crumbled showing all of her pain. "No.... stop lying to me." She cried whipping her head from side to side, "Stop lying to me! My baby is gone! I... I caused her to run away.... and broke up my family." She then began hyperventilate and tried getting up again. She was beginning to freak out and if it continued she would attack the nearest wolf.
Aphrodite heard Fiorenza and got up. She quickly walked over to Fiorenza and grabbed her before she could become destructive. "Kuoni... you need to leave the room now." She said, "I'm going to try and calm down Fiorenza but you have to leave for it to work. You can try again after she's calm."
~
Vipin heard Fiorenza's cry and cringed. "Grandma..." He whispered. He hated it when she got like that. His mom told him to stay away from her when she's like that... she wouldn't hesitate to attack him. He walked over to Fiorenza's bed and curled up in it crying.

Kuoni flattened her ears. "Mom. Please." She looked at Aphrodite in shock. Now she had to leave?! But, she had to do something! She had to help! 'Remember the last time you tried to help. You ran away so your family could stay together. This is the result.' She cringed from the voice in her head. This time, she would just listen.
"I'm sorry momma." She said, backing reluctantly out of the room. She got just outside the door before collapsing onto the floor and curling into a ball. Too short of breath to even gasp for it, she sobbed quietly into her paws. "Tell me she's still in there." She begged to her paws and the empty hall. "I want momma back." She peeked through her flooded eyes to her belly. She wanted her pups to be able to know their grandma. This new thought made her cry out in pain. She wanted Fiorenza to know her grandpuppies. It physically hurt to think that it wouldn't happen. She deserved it if she couldn't see her mother again, but her pups should know the Fiorenza that Kuoni had once known as a puppy herself.
Her scream lasted only a couple seconds before her chest tightened again and she had to return to the quiet sobs. Fiorenza has to be in there. She just had to be.

Aphrodite was glad that Kuoni listened to her and left. Kuoni didn't need to see her mom like this and it was the only way to calm Fiorenza. "Shh... It's alright Fiorenza..... It's alright." She said in a soothing voice, "Calm down.... No one is going to hurt you or trick you.... Shh...." She began rocking Fiorenza and ignored the fact that Fiorenza was starting to bite her arm.
Fiorenza began to thrash when Aphrodite grabbed her. She lashed out with her hind legs but she couldn't break Aphrodite's grip. As Aphrodite began rocking her, she began to bite Aphrodite's arm. She bite down so hard at one point she drew blood. Soon Aphrodite's soothing voice and words began to calm Fiorenza. Her thrashing and biting ceased and she became limp in Aphrodite's arms. "Where did you go Aphrodite?" She asked after several minutes, "I haven't seen you in ages..... Oh my! What happened to your arm?! It's bleeding!" She was back to her old self for the most part. She tried to get up but fell back down. "Oh.... my leg is bothering me again.... It's done that ever since..... that day when ....." She shook her head and didn't even think of Mikey's name; it was taboo now, "Hang on a second Aphrodite. I'll get Vipin to take care of that. He's been so helpful to me. VIPIN! Come here! I need you to get a bandage!"
Vipin came out of the moonlit's room when he heard Kuoni's scream. He slowly approached her. "Are you alright?" He asked quietly, "You saw Grandma didn't you? She's not doing so good... but there are times when you can see her old self." His ears perked up when he heard Fiorenza call him asking for bandages. "I'll be back... I better go do what she wants." He said turning for the bathroom. Once he was in the bathroom he went to the cabinet and opened it. He looked around for some gauze and medical tape. He spotted them on a self he could reached and grabbed them. He then walked back to Kuoni, nodded, and went into the room.

Outwardly, Kuoni didn't react to Vipin. But she growled inside her mind. 'Does it look like I'm alright?! What kind of friggin question is that?!' Her ears flicked when she heard Fiorenza call for Vipin. The voice was still hoarse, from the yelling, but it sounded a bit younger, more like how she remembered. Aphrodite seemed to have calmed her down. Would Kuoni be called back in soon? Kuoni curled up tighter, though it was hard with the swollen belly. She didn't want to go back in. She didn't want to hurt Fiorenza again. She should just go... but her legs wouldn't work. 'Come on! I've got to leave her be. Move!' She heard Vipin return, pause, then enter the room. She continued to lay where she was.
