Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Vodka? Heh, Will always did like drinking when he was stressed..." She sighed and closed her eyes for a few seconds recalling her past concerns all too clearly. But Will was an adult now, he surely wouldn't allow himself to become drunk and do something incredibly stupid. Afterall he was the leader of the hunters and if he was found drunk... Oh God... Let's just leave that as it is.

Eden quickly aknowledged Tyler with a quick nod of thanks and quietly walked into the apartment, making her choice clear- she was concerned about the vodka that Tyler's nose detected. But before she did that, she asked Tyler if he was okay. Eden knew he was a lycan but she was alittle inexperienced about exactly how their transformations worked and wasn't sure if he was alright or not. Either way, he seemed to be alittle shaky in his ability to control his inner wolf. But perhaps that was just her, likely it was but people who know little about certain situations would be expected to be alittle doubtful.

Then she walked into the apartment. She looked around in the living room and kitchen and when she found no one she wondered if people were perhaps sleeping? Deciding to go search the apartment further Eden walked towards the room where she had seen Lydia gone when she had been upset.

When reaching the door she had seen Lydia go through, she quietly and gently knocked on the door and called in a hushed voice, "Lydia? You here? It's Eden, I also have a friend here with me, his name's Tyler. Will told us to stick together. I'm here since it's the closest safehouse and uh... I kinda forgot where Haven is..." Followed by that was a nervous laugh- she felt like she was talking to herself and repeating herself like a broken record. Continuing on she also asked, "Tyler says that he can smell Will so I was wondering if he was here..." Her voice trailed off, finally finishing it's explanation. She was worried that Lydia may think that Eden was around her alot since she had been to the apartment, but in reality Eden was just trying to get used to the life of a huntress but she had come at a horrible time. The lock down, the odd attacks that were happening, and now the dead silence that the room emitted...

She decided to lean against the wall beside the door and wait for a reply there. Also, she looked back to see if Tyler had come in. Why was she so jumpy and paraniod? It was slightly natural but perhaps the lock down was having a larger impact on her than she realized. She inhaled, taking a deep breath to calm herself, then she smoothly exhaled releasing all her tenseness.

Not knowing what else to do, Will held Lydia close. "Lydia... I know you don't understand. It's just... complicated. Like so many things involving relationships, it's complicated. No, we didn't do anything wrong. What we did was natural and we're both consenting adults. It's just... was this your first time Lydia? Because I get the feeling it was. And your first time... especially for girls... it should be... it's supposed to be something special. You deserved better than me drunk and coming onto you, Lydia. That's why I feel bad, I feel like I took advantage of you. Took something from you I can't give back."

Will sighed and pulled away, hands resting on Lydia's shoulders as he met her eyes. "Look, I'll leave what to do next up to you. You want to talk about it? We'll talk. You want to forget that it ever happened? We will. I just want what's best for you and your happiness here, Lydia. This could have serious consequences for the both of us if it gets out, I hope you can understand that."

It was then that a knock came at the door, and Eden's voice called out for Lydia. Will just kept quiet and turned his head upwards to gaze at the ceiling. 'Lord, I don't suppose it would be too much to ask for her to just decide that nobody's home and leave?'

Apparently it was, since the next thing he heard was the distinct sounds of a lock being picked. Turning back to Lydia, he gave a weak and frightened grin before expressing his opinion of the situation they now found themselves in. "s**t."

It was one of those days that you really got the idea that God hated you intensely. Notihng to do but go out and face the music. Slipping out of the bed, Will laid a hand on Lydia's shoulder for one last moment in a show of support before standing and pulling his pants on. Gathering his other clothes in his arms, Will strode to the bedroom door and opened it. Stepping out to the shocked gazes of both his sister and Tyler, Will met their stares with a cold glare. "Hello little sister, Tyler. I don't think I need to mention that this is my private business. Nobody needs to hear of this unless I or Lydia decide that they do. Not a single word. Understood?"

Seeing their hesitant nods, Will sighed. With his luck, every Hunter, vampire, and lycan would hear about this by the end of the week; possibly the demons as well. Life really sucked sometimes, especially when something that should have been a happy moment was turned into what could become a major problem. "Alright, now that we've gotten awkward social blunders out of the way, and by the way you two this is why you don't pick the lock unless you're on a mission or you have reason to believe there's a danger to you or somebody else, let's get to business. Tyler, good to see you back on your feet. You've been at Haven recently. I haven't been there in over two days now, too busy on the outside. What's the status of Haven?"

"sir i have disturbing news... haven is no longer a safe place for your sister, it is practacaly a war zone there, one group thinks your dead, the other thinks your alive, one group is fighting for absolute power and is trying to get everyone prepared for a all out world war three, and the other is trying to keep people to stay calm. threats and fights break out not two feet from one another. will if somthing isn't done soon haven will implode in on itself. that is why i did not bring her to haven, i did not see it as a safe place to return your sister... i wouldn't be suprised if it turned into a hell camp overnight" sighed tyler as he cast his eyes away from will, "will if this contenues, if all of this contenues to go on and run rampant at haven... it will not be a very plesant thing to put it bluntly... your second in command, or so he calls himself... is forcing people to prepare for world war three, the alternitive is being labled as a trator..." tyler let a long pause pass before he contenued... "and everyone knows what happens to trators..." that was the last word he said... "will i have but one request of you, if i'm labled a trator, please kill me with hellbringer... kill me like we killed the lunites..." tyler barely whispered it, but he knew will could hear him... tyler's life had gone down the shitter synce sabrina had taken a vaction and he had been left alone, the hell camp, this, everything was going to hell.

Lydia had pulled out a bowl, milk, a spoon, and a box of Cheerios for her breakfast as Will was speaking to Tyler. So, there was chaos at Haven, was there?

About to comment on what was going on, Lydia heard from Will "Eden, I want you to stay here with Lydia." and all thought stopped for a moment before starting up again in a flurry of anger.

What? I cannot go with him?! She thought to herself, feeling distressed. His mental caress and thoughts calmed her, and she replied to him, You had better keep that promise.

Once Will had left, and once Lydia had started eating, she looked at Edith with her half closed eyes. "Well, it looks like you shall be staying here for awhile. Kerrigan has another bedroom you can use, I believe." As the psychic spoke, the black kitten called Mischief wandered out from somewhere and began meowing plaintivly for food.

Smiling, Lydia picked up the kitten and brought her over to her food bowl so that she could feed the black ball of fur.

Not exactly sure what to think, Eden just nodded at Will. Things were such a blurr since she had come... Haven being locked down, getting attacked by a demon, all the Hunters and Huntresses having break-downs or powerstruggles, and now Will's and Lydia's little secret that she knew about. She felt bad, but she was concerned and afterall, it hadn't been her that picked the lock... But she was to blame...

Eden smiled to Lydia and replied calmly as if she had seen nothing, "Yeah I guess so. I'm sorry if I'm a burden... Will's kind of paranoid when I'm around and he acts so much more serious... I'm also sorry for just walking in, I was... Worried about you and Will."

Suddenly Eden's coat pocket shifted and a mew could be heard from it. Midnight had smelt the other cat before but now she could see it. Before Eden could catch her, Midnight had jumped out of her pocket and gone to investigate Mischief.

Once again Eden smiled, though this time it was with embarassment. Quickly reaching to pick Mids up, she gave Lydia and apologetic look and said, "I'm so sorry... She's my uh, kitten. I sort of rescued her you could say and I couldn't get rid of her after I met her."

She was truly glad that Lydia wasn't mad at her. Actually it was a relief. Eden smiled and chuckled quickly saying, "Technically I didn't pick the lock, but I will remember to give you enough time to respond next time." She let out a tiny giggle and looked at Mischief.

Eden was an animal lover, especially a cat-lover. She found it sort of interesting how both her and Lydia had both come across stray black kittens that were under bad conditions with the odds against them. And both their owners had both not been able to let them go after they rescued them. Edith grinned mildly as she stroked Mids, she'd never be able to abandon her or make the kitten leave her. Mids was like another sister to her.

"Looks like we have abit in common then. Our cats I mean." She let off another smile and then answered, "There is no reason to make her leave, not one that I can think of at least. Apparently you can't think of a reason either." Edith felt happy that she was actually socializing with another Huntress as apposed to just meeting them when going out hunting. It was good to talk to people and get to know them. At least Edith thought so.

Still smiling mildly, Eden set Mids gently down on the floor. Then she remembered her bloody tank-top and remembered that she'd have pick her things up. But that would mean she would have to go back to haven... Great just great... I'm gonna have to stay in the same bloody tank-top until Will lets me come back to Haven...

"I'm glad to have met you as well Lydia. I'm glad that we'll be able to spend alittle time together." Eden couldn't hold back her childish grin and simply let it shine through. She also looked at her bloody tank-top and timidly nodded. "Yeah, that might be nice. I'm not sure if I'll fit your clothes or not, but I'll certainly give it a try."
