Welcome to Gaia! ::

As Lucian lay in the bed, he thought about all that had happened the past few days. He saved a girl's life, put her in more danger by being with him, found out her name is Naomi ,have her pass out, took her to the nearest town, looked after her until she regained consciousness, protected her when his ex-wife came to talk to him, fell in love with her, told her he is a vampire, then asked her to go to a masquerade ball with him, which will be full of vampires. He exhales and then can't help but smile. Naomi was going out shopping with Luna today, so he would be alone for while. He gets up off the bed and says to himself "Well, may as well do something." He settles on going out for a run, possibly up the mountain range to the north. Just to get some exercise and some fresh air. It was cloudy and overcast today, so he would be able to go out without his hood and everything. He got himself into a button down shirt, leaving it open, and a pair of jeans. This would be relaxing. He goes out the door and down the stairs, then out the front door. He looks around, checking if anyone would see him, then takes off running to the north. He ran through the forest, gracefully dodging trees and rocks. The ground around him started to change, and he realised he was already climbing the mountain range. These mountains were different from the mountains he had been on before going to the arctic. These ones were low enough to not get snow caps, but high enough to be in the clouds. "It's amazing up here" he thinks aloud. He stops and takes a look around, he was in a little plateau. There was a big Jack Pine on the edge of the plateau. He quickly scales it, reaching a good vantage point, and spreads his legs out on the branch, putting his hands behind his head and resting against the tree. From here he could see forever. "Wow" is all he could say. And with that, he dosed off, not at all worried about losing his balance.

"Astaroth!! C'mere boy!! Mommy's got a surprise for you!!" Nadea called softly as she put her clothes back on and wiped the blood from her mouth. He had been as much fun as she had anticipated, she was pissed that he hadn't lasted through the change. He was just what she was looking for, "Oh well...looks can be deceiving!" she sighed as she lit up a cigarette and watched her hell hound devour the mans' body, bones and all. When Astaroth finished, she patted his head and walked off towards the mansion completely satisfied. "Masquerade! Paper faces on parade...masquerade! Hide your face so the world will never find you!" she sang softly in her piercing soprano voice as she climbed the front steps of the mansion and up to her room to get ready for the evenings events.

(edit)

Nadea had just walked past the dinning room where a heated discussion between Sakura and Selena was taking place. She paused in the doorway wondering if she needed to step in to avoid a brawl, but instead her eyes just widened when Sakura slapped Selena. Nadea just stepped back out of the doorway and quickly climbed the stairs to her room, she was looking forward to a bath. She found her trunk sitting at the end of her bed, her gowns had been cleaned and hung up in the wardrobe according to color. She stripped naked and walked into the bathroom, opened the large window and slipped into the tub where she could peacefully watch the sunset.

Samantha needed a moment to take all of it in before she looked at him and said "kashan... this is... soo ... amasing" she mummbled before she said "You really were holding out on me" she pouted lightly but only for a moment, her pout turned into a small smile before she kissed him softly " I love you" she whispered lightly

Shadow stopped right infront of Sakura, his face was blank, he really did not know how to feel at that point. His emotions were conflicting with one another and so he could not be angry at Sakura, "I understand Sakura. You look after your children well enough you know." Shadow said as he hugged her to him. "I know you don't mean to hurt me with these thins but sometimes innocents get caught in the cross fire. no matter how hard you try they always see to get caught up in it." Shadow said mainly in referance to Juliet getting caught up in this.

Kashan nodded, "Yes, I really was holding back and now you get to find out the rest of it." He said with a smile that Sam knew all to well by now. "I love you to Samantha." he said before kissing her. The time was almost perfect, now that he didn't need t hold back he could just let everythign go and not have to worry.

Sakura hugged him back as she pressed her face against his chest, tears starting to run down her cheeks. "I'm sorry papa....I'm sorry....." she said as she clinched his shirt. "......A while back a man said that I was the daughter of that women who we had a war against not long away......Since then I've been hearing voices..." she said softly through her tears, trying to keep it together. "They keep telling me that everyone is against my family.....now I've been acting weird....and I don't know why... "she said as she tried to stop her tears.

Nadea sighed softly as she looked at herself in the mirror, it had been a while since she had had fresh right off the body blood and it had done wonders for her body. She winked at herself and giggled before a few maids came and knocked on her door. "Come in...oh thank goodness! I was going to need help with my hair...i'm thinking about going old school. You know, pile on the curls!" she laughed lightly as they set to work doing her hair. "Miss Nadea...which gown are you wearing tonight?" a maid asked softly as she opened the wardrobe. "I will be wearing the white one with the light blue stitching." she replied softly as she put her makeup on and sprayed on her lavender perfume. She stood up and walked into the bedroom where they tightened her corset and helped her slip into the under skirt. She would wait a while before getting into the full gown.
