Welcome to Gaia! ::

Skye murred happily at his mates touch as he snuggled in close to him "thats nice to know, I dont really want anyone else but you either" he said as he stroaked his mates hair.

Nyoko smiled "then you shall, I am sure you and mom will like him" he said as he thought of the calls recently and then shook his head "no, I havent heard from him. Though doesnt Khory still speak to him alot or used to or something? Maybe it might be best to ask him, those two seem to spend more time with each other more then myself, Skye or Phe does."

He said to his father, thinking about Phe and hoping it was right to assume that as he hadnt exactly spent alot of time with Phe lately and he did miss spending time with him greatly. He knew he and his brothers were busy but still he made a mental note to take Phe out some time during the week, just the two of them if he isnt busy and just spend som time with him.

"Is it a parents duty to read their childrens mind or something?" He asked his father playfully, the question being more rhetorical then anything else. "Seriously though, I am rather shocked at that, I mean, you would think by living in the same house we would be able to spend more time with each other then we do.

I will talk to Phe later, maybe set up a time where we can spend the day together just hanging out and shopping, maybe getting something for lunch or whatever. I will sneak into his room and leave a note on his bed side table before I go to bed tonight just incase I miss him or whatever" he said to his father as he looked upstairs.

Nyoko sighed as he cuddled his father, deciding to tell him what he found the other day "daddy, I know I should of contacted you and or mom straight away but I decided to call around first to see if someone could help before bothering you and mom about it. I was cleaning the other day and I triped over the vacumme cord and landed head first into the wall upstairs on the second floor.

I am alright, as you can see but I did find something that troubles me so" he said as he nuzzled his fathers chest a little. "I removed a few of the boards, having heard the wall being hollow, and found something that was worrisome besides finding something that was good.

I know that my great auntie used to love little secret compartments and hide things all around the house though I just havent seen anything else yet besides this. Anyway, I found an ouija board and a decent sized treasure chest, I didnt touch them, I decided to leave them alone but still..."

Nyoko said, wondering about the two items he had found "it isnt really so much as the chest that is worrying me it is the board. I have heard bad things about them and I didnt want to touch something I didnt know anything about. Besides which I think I have had enough of magic and the sorts to last me a life time...

However, with that still in the house I just wonder how it got there, whos it was and if it IS in this house then I am scared a little in wondering if it has been used or not. If it has, I dont want to think what could be in this house if that has been used and/or whatever did come from it, IF something came from it, is still in this house.

Internet sites and books have said that the boards are bad and bad things can happen to those who use them and everything which is why I am worried. I dont know what to do about this, I dont want to tell my brothers as I dont wish to scare them or the angel, I do however want that board out of the house.

I just dont know how to go about it thats all, I called Drake but he isnt any help, he says that he never really learnt anything but the basics when it came to dealing with the boards. So, like me, he doesnt wish to touch something he doesnt know anything about so now im at a loss at what to do" he said with a sigh, hoping that his father and.or mother could help.

Nyoko chuckled "well then, I guess it runs in the family" he said as he stood up "back in a sec dad" he said as he ran upstairs and over to where the secret compartment was. He took the boards away and took out the two things that were hidden behind the wall and put the boards back up and sighed.

Nyoko picked up the items and ran back downstairs with them "dad, can you call that witch rabbit that lives with you please?" He asked his fatherplacing the items on the small table by the sofa. "He might might know what to do with the board" he said as he looked over the some what heavey chest and wondered what could be in the golden chest.

Kuri finished making the hot chocolates and divided up the cheesecake and placed everything onto a tray including plates and cake forks. "That can wait till we are in the lounge" he said smiling at the others as he picked up the tray and started into the living room with it.

Skye pouted a little "awww no fair" he said in a playful tone as he got up "come on baby, lets go see what mother and father want to tell us" he said as he held out a hand for his mate.

Nyoko smiled "thats fine daddy, I understad" he said as he sat back down and snuggled back into his father. "I just want it out of the house, I dont exactly know how I should dispose of it so I thought Sheridan might know thats all." He said as he thought about what his father said and then softly sighed "I understand that but it is the bad stuff that I dont understand, apparently they are just bad things to play around with or even have.

He said to his father, remembering what the books and sites told him about said boards.

Kuri walked into the lounge and over to the table, smiling at his mate and son "hey guys, I see you two have been playing nicely" he teased them. He justput the tray down when his eyes fell on the board and started to shake a little "excuse me" he said as he ran into the near by ball room, shutting himself in as he slid down the door and cuddled his knees as he started to cry.

Kuri had, in his past, played with the very same ouija board that was out there, it was something that had happened when he was 13, it was the very thing he blamed himself for. It was a stupid thing to do, he was made to believe that it wasnt his fault and did go so far as to beliving it willingly but the memories now just came back and he couldnt any longer.

Kuri was the one who sealed his aunties fate...or at least that is what he honestly believed and now he had started to rethink his old thoughts and what he did and it scared him greatly.

Skye arrived in the lounge just as he saw his mother run off towards the ball room, he looked at his father as he went to sit down "dad, whats wrong with mom?" He asked curiously, wondering what could of made mom run off like he did.

Skye sighed and got up and made his way over to the ballroom and knocked on the door "mom, are you alright?" He asked through the door, hoping nothing was wrong.

Kuri said nothing, he just said there hugging his knees and wishing he wasnt thinking what he did.

After several minutes of his mother not answering he looked back at his father "care to try your luck in getting him to open up the door?" He asked, wondering if his father could get his mate out of there.

]Kuri sighed and got up, he opened the door and pulled his mate into the ball room with him and shut the door. He cuddled agiesnt his mate and cried "I killed her, I killed my auntie" he said as he nuzzled his mate, wishing this sounded as absurd as he wished his thoughts did but it didnt and wasnt.

"I know, it sounds absurd, I just wish I could believe it" he said as he pulled away and started walking towards the middle of the ballroom floor. I found the board out there when I was thirteen, I didnt know aything exactly about them but had heard how to use one." Kuri said with a soft sigh as he walked over to a near by chair that was pushed up agiesnt a wall and sat down.

Kuri toyed with the hem of his top as he looked down at it as he spoke "I was told that bad things could happen to me but I didnt believe them, I passed it off as a joke. So after finding the board earlier in the year I waited till halloween night before I decided to use it, just something fun to do on my own.

However it actually DID work, a spirit of some kind DID come out of the board/through the plans of exsistence, whatever you want to call it. I didnt exactly know anything about said spirit but it wasnt exactly a spirt you would want around the place as he did terrible and horrible things.

Anyway, I hid the board after that, not knowing what to do as I was totally ignorant of it all as you know. I ignored the spirit, thinking it would go away untill it it pushed my auntie down the stairs and she landed in hospital, needing a pin put into her hip as the fall damaged her hip.

After she came out she and I went on with life as normal as one can after what happened but at times things still happened. Strange and unexplainable things or things my auntie and I passed down as the next door neighbors cat or something. However, admitedly, the spirit did seem to have it in for my auntie as most of the things seemed to be directed at her for some reason.

Anyway, it wasnt just confind to the house, the spirit did other things outside the house also but I didnt think much of it, at that point in time the spirit hadnt done anything for a while so I thought it must have gone away. I was wrong however when my auntie was walking home with the groceries, she was comming up our street, nearly home also when the spirit decided to have more fun.

By now I had gotten to know when he would do something, or the things he did would leave the impression that you knew it was the spirit that did them. So anyway, as a car was comming up the road, the ghost took over and took control of the car or the driver or something and made it get onto the footpath.

As my auntie..." Kuri trailed off as he pulled his knees up and burried his face into them, starting to cry as he retold what he was forced to believe otherwise for so many years. Kuri sighed and yet kept hugging his knees but lifted his head up though kept stearing at his knees as he continued.

Tears kept falling as he carried on "...my auntie was dead on impact, the way the car hit her, noone could have survived, after that the ghost left the body/car and went somewhere, wasnt sure where. But after that, the police did tests and everything and told me that the strange thing was that the guy who was driving while 'drunk' was under the legal limit.

The police put it down to his body not being able to handle even small amounts of alcahol and left it as a 'drunk driving' incident. The guy survived and is now in jail obviously but even if he was to tell us if he felt anything different, like himself being possessed or anything noone would believe him.

So yes, I still hate drunk drivers, will never drink alcahol despite knowing different but still I was made to believe that it wasnt my fault, I was told time and time again it wasnt and thus I believed it after a while. I guess in a way it wasnt directly but indirectly it was" He said as he burried his face into his knees again and carried on crying.

"I killed my auntie" he said in a muffled though audiable tone "if I didnt play with that board that would have never have happened" he said as he sniffed, wiping away some ofthe tears though it didnt matter as more just came. "The spirit is gone, I went and saw a preist afterwards and got him to bless the house for me and the spirit hadnt been back since but still thats beside the point..."

Kuri said trailing off, hugging his knees a little more tighter as he just kept his face burried in them, wishing he never saw that board again and then he would of carried on thinking it was a drunk driver, having pushed those other thoughts to the back of his mind, not to be thought about again.

Kuri listened to his mate as he lent over and rested agiesnt him, snuggling into his mate "I believe you but I dont" he said wiping away a tear as another fell. "It's hard to explain, I was the same when my family first learnt about this..."he said softly as he trailed off "it took them, for what seemed like, forever to tell me different yet they finally did but now, with that board, its just brought it all back."

He said as he nuzzled his mates chest, hoping him mate didnt think any less of him, he wanted to believe this, even indirectly forcing him to believe this but he couldnt. Kuri's mind, once again, wouldnt let him, and now that he knew again, it probably would take longer to make him see other wise. "im sorry..." he said to his mate as he kept close to him.
