Welcome to Gaia! ::

**Sorry if I godmode, jsut want to show one of Raquel's 'skills' lol...and to speed up our little 'seperation' >w< Dont worry bout enty I has an idea with him too >w<**

Raquel managed to keep herself awake and strangely enough, she seemed to be able to move. Most lively the adrenaline rush she was still shaking lose. "Damian darling I'm fine, move over..." She gave him a gentle push, making her way to the drivers seat. "If you want ALL of us out of here alive, then allow me." With one hand still on her wound, she powered the sporty speeder up. With a sharp hum it came to life. A twistedly amused smile crossed her lips. "Hold onto something..." She smirked as she peeled out of the garage, the door still down. They crashed through and into the daylight.

Richard Was ready to attack when a crash caused him to jump. HE stood away hoping to avoid getting run over. He almost smiled when he saw a determined Raquel driving, most likely aiming to hit Sveriana. If she did or not , he didn't notice. He was too distracted with her impressive driving. She braked hard, opening her door. "Get in." She cocked her head for him to try to squeeze behind them. Richard did so as Raquel slammed the door and peeled out, *idk if you can peel out with a speeder...but oh well lol* hoping to leave a stunned Sveriana behind. But she knew her old friend. This would not be their last encounter.

Sveriana was just about to deliver the first blow when she heard a crash from the direction of the garage and saw a speeder coming in her direction, which caused her to divert her attention from Richard, and then to dodging the oncoming speeder so she wouldn't get hit. As soon as she landed on the ground nearby, she watched as Richard hopped into the same speeder and rode off with the others.

As soon as Sveriana was able to stand, she cursed softly to herself and shook her head. This was a predicament she was in and the fact that she failed in killing her targets once again seemed to frustrate her even more. Pulling out her cellular phone, she looked at the time that was displayed on the screen and shook her head. She had failed to Kill Deilita, and now she was failing in a personal vendetta, all because she was being so damned careless. Well this time, she'd wait, and when she knew the time was right to strike, she'd take that chance. But for now, things weren't going to happen anytime soon.

Raquel seemed the only one somewhat sad about being back. She'd miss the little island, the little Arran's, one in particular, and just the thrill of the tropics. Though she would not miss the pain, suffering and heart ache they experienced there. The first thin she did was head to her 'room', finding her clothes she had left, including the lovely gown she had remembered clearly throwing before she 'left' the first time, were all hung up and pressed in her closet. She was thrilled to find her guitar in once piece and her bracelet on the dresser. She almost cried as she picked it up and fastened it to her dirty but tiny wrist. Even more memories seemed to come back to her now as she looked it over, furrowing her brow and shaking her head. Oh how she wanted to go talk with Damian, but the poor soul deserved some alone time to freshen up and feel good again. It actually sounded good to her as well. A nice hot shower and clean clothes...she smiled slightly. A bath and a nap sounded more inviting but she was too filthy even for that. So Raquel went to her own private bathroom, shed her borrowed torn dress and turned on the steamy wonderful amazingness.
*pretending showers of the future can not use all the hot water XDXDjk*

Richard brought Lorey to her room, laying her down gently. He knew she needed sleep and would probably want a shower as well. So he would leave her to do that. There was something that had been eating at him that he needed to do anyhow. "I'll return love..." He whispered so as not to wake her as he gave her a departing kiss. after taking bu t a moment just to watch her sleep, he turned to leave, shutting the door behind him. It was then that he called out for Enty. "Come on...we're heading into the city just for a bit." He told his little companion with a look saying he'd explain his intentions on the way.

Raquel almost fell asleep amid the steam and sweet smelling soaps. As soon as she was finished, she grabbed a pair of soft and comfy pajamas and poked her head out down the hall to see Damian asleep shirtless on the couch. She blushed slightly seeing him laying completely at ease, his long black hair still a bit wet. But he looked like a pure angle sleeping there. She wanted more than anything to curl up with him but figured she would just let him lie. Turning she went back into her room flopping onto her bed, letting the utter plushness of it all engulf her in a sleepy hug as she just sighed. In no time at all she was fast asleep, feeling all worries go away for just a moment.

Raquel had slept in moderate peace at first, but then found herself shooting up in bed, sweating bullets. She was breathing heavily, as she hugged one knee and rubbed her neck, sore from laying in one position for so long. In fact her whole body was sore but it was no pain at all compared to her mental pain. Her dreams weren't just normal nightmares...they were real. With real pain, real emotions real situations. She knew they were because they were more like memories than dreams. Especially the ones with a beautiful young woman and a devilishly handsome man. They seemed happy enough, but violence followed their lives, either form each other or outside influences. But it never seemed to stop. Even when a young one was brought in. A tiny little girl with porcelain skin and dark brownish black hair. But what stood out were her lovely green eyes. She was so bubbly and happy...until it all turned black. Everything. there was more violence and pain, and suffering and loss...it was too much for Raquel to take. She shook her head, trying to forget the dreams, before standing and wiping her face with her hands.
She managed to calm herself down a bit before leaving her room, coming into the living room sleepily. She said nothing as she walked by Damian, moving his still slightly damp, now wavy hair so she could kiss his neck, before flopping on to the couch herself, rubbing the bridge of her nose lightly.

It was then Richard entered, 2 bags in his hands. Enty followed behind with some shiny contraption that he probably had no idea what it was but bought it only bc of its shimmer. "Where've you been?" Raquel asked with a grogginess in her voice as she looked up at him, trying to keep her puffy eyes from being too noticeable. Richard didn't seem to notice, shrugging slightly.

"I had some business that needed to be taken care of." He said quietly, laying one bag down on a table near the door. "I picked up some meds form a friend who owes me a favor. Mostly pain pills but a lot of other things to help you all recover and regain you're energy. Oh and something special for you Raquel." He gave her a look and a wink before , heading back to his room.
"What's in that one?" Raquel asked, pointing to the other bag he held closer to him. Richard stopped but didn't turn around.
"Cigarettes..." he lied only slightly as he kept going, off to take his shower now. Raquel just sighed, knowing he was lying but wouldn't push it. She stood and waltzed over to the bag going through it quizzically before blushing and bursting out laughing. "That cheeky b*****d!" She managed to spit out between gasps for air. "He's like an annoying little brother you know that?" She sighed throwing the bag on the floor. She held up a box of condoms with a note written on them.
I dont know if you're familiar with these,
but i hear they do wonders for 'playing safe' ;P
have fun you two.
"He must be in a good mood..." She sighed, slightly embarassed, slightly annoyed but still good humored.

Raquel's face turned 8 shades of red before she returned the coy smile. She came up behind him, sliding her arms around him from behind, and down his bare chest. "Why, Mr. Centurion, is that a proposition I'm hearing??" She asked innocently, whispering in his ear before having a little nibble.

Richard was glad he was able to at least bring someone joy in their stressed life right now. Hopefully he would be able to Make Lorey happy once she had gotten over the ordeal of the attack and was back to her old self again. He took the bag with his cigarettes, and his surprise and kicked them gently under the bed for safekeeping until they were ready to be used. *nothing nasty XD* He then made his way to finally get a shower.

Raquel let his words sink in deeply with his kisses. She was about to more than consent to their desires when a tingly jolt set through her body, causing her to intake air quickly. She shot her body up, pushing her hair back nervously as her face went completely pale, before turning a deep deep red. "AH- I'm sorry..." She breathed, pulling away completely, turning on her heel for the kitchen. Her palms and neck were sweating bullets. A sensation she hadn't felt since before Damian. She hated that...
In the kitchen, she grabbed a bottle of water form the fridge, taking a few large gulps to calm herself down as she kept her back turned from the doorway.

Richard had taken a ridiculously short shower, not feeling the need to relax or waste time. he wanted to see how Lorey was. His intentions were to only check to see how she was sleeping, but he was surprised to find her cleaned up and in her PJs at the end of the bed. "Oh, you're awake. did you sleep well?" He asked as he stepped in the room, wearing a pair of flannel pajama bottoms and a crisp white Tshirt that hung on his well. He pushed back his damp blond hair and took a seat next to her, kissing her sweetly.
