++Something Blue++
-Diary Entry-
I've been replaced again. My father has found a new daughter, her name is Delilah. Was I not good enough? Did I do something wrong? Was I a bad child? Was it my fault? I could ask so many questions, but I'll never get my answers. Is she that much better than me? Mother told me that it was because she was sick that he adopted her. Isn't sadness an illness too? I've waited for years for his return and traveled the deserts for him, and then he just replaces me just like that, just like mother did. She replaced me with Rasiel. I can't believe it. How long will it be before Syth replaces me too. I doubt that would happen, but then again, I never expected to be replaced in the first place. I guess only time will tell.

++The Truth About the Past++
Daemin had come to visit, Delilah in tow as he figured that Delilah and Alice could play together for a while and get to know each other. Alice had willingly complied and had taken Delilah to the bedroom to play, letting her parents catch up on old times. They had been playing with dolls for a while, laughing and all the while just having a good time. Things were going smoothly as they moved the dolls about and talked. Everything had been quiet for the whole time they played in the room. Delilah was having fun, and had not even looked sick in a while.
Suddenly, a crash was heard out in the living room as Delilah and Alice perked up suddenly and then they both ran to the door. They had stopped as they heard yelling coming from the other side. Pressing their ears up against the doors, they listened in on the conversation Daemin and Kae were having.
"So you think it's okay to just waltz right back into her life with some new kid, and NOT think she's going to be a little upset?!"
"I at least thought you of all people would understand!!"
"No! Not after what you did to her!!! You walked out on us, and then just come back expecting to be accepted again!! She thought you were dead!!!....we both did..."
"That was because you paid you're friend to tell her I was dead!!!"
"That was the only way I could stop her from obsessing over the idea that you'd come back!!! She waited for you!!! Every day she stood out there waiting for the day you'd come back from the war you lied to her about!!!"
"And how was I supposed to know she would care that much!!"
"SHE'S YOUR DAUGHTER, FOR GAIA SAKE!!!"
"No, she's your damn experiment!!"
"She is as much my daughter as she is yours!! She has our DNA running through her veins.. You cannot deny her the right to be loved!!!"
"I can't take this!! You're just pushing me away again like last time!! It's always about your science and your experiments!!! When will you learn that you need to take time for your family!!! I should have never married you... I knew this was never going to work.."
"GET OUT!! GET OUT NOW!!!"
Another crash was heard, and things fell silent for a while. Alice had tears already in her eyes as she had her hands placed on Delilah's shoulders. It hurt to hear the truth that she had been lied to from the beginning about her father leaving for a war and dying. It had all been a lie to keep her from being upset that her mother had driven her own father away. It had been Kae's fault all along. Alice's heart swelled with pain as she tried to hold back her tears. Delilah had tears in her eyes as well, scared and upset from the fighting on the other side of the door. She began to whine as though to start cry and Alice gently shushed her. It didn't stop Delilah from sobbing quietly to herself, but it did prevent her from bursting into tears. Alice suddenly began to cough, she looked down at Delilah when she backed away from the door to see the little girl's skin was blackened and spreading across the floor. Alice gasped at the sight as she took another step back and began to feel very lightheaded. "...delilah... stop... i can't... b-breathe..." she whispered as she began to loose consciousness. Alice closed her eyes slowly, struggling to stay standing as she lost her mind and fell to the ground, unconscious.
After a while, Alice opened her eyes weakly and coughed. "wh-what happened.." she muttered softly as Kae's hand brushed across her forehead. "Shhh.. just rest, sweetie. You fainted from a really bad fever..."
"Wh-where's.. Delilah?.."
"Don't worry, she's fine. I think she got upset over something and Daemin took her home.."
"Mother... I'm sorry... I didn't mean-...." she began to cough again and Kae hushed her, telling her that she didn't need to talk right then, and that she should rest. They would have enough time to talk later. Alice nodded and sighed, closing her eyes once again as she slowly drifted back into sleep.

++A Motherly Getaway++
Alice was pacing back and forth slightly, she had been waiting for Rasiel for a while. They had agreed that he would make a picnic for their mother and Alice had showed him and great spot where to take Kae to eat the picnic. She was muttering under her breath a few quiet obscenities to herself regarding Rasiel being late.
Once Rasiel had arrived, Alice smiled and hugged him. "It's good to see you again... Mother's almost done and we can go." He had shivered at the unnecessary contact but shook it off and said nothing. Kae and Alice had asked Nova to watch the kids for a day so that they could go out for a while, as they would be having lunch elsewhere and would be back before too long. Nova was more than happy to watch the kids as she had already been preparing them an army of food, mostly for Moira.
Kae stepped from the bedroom and smirked. "So where is it that we're going again?" she asked, still a little confused on the details. Alice giggled slightly, "Don't worry, mother. We'll handle everything." she answered as she walked outside, followed by Rasiel then Kae.
"Should I drive?" Kae inquired, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh heavens, no. You can't drive a car where we are going.." Alice responded with more giggling.
Rasiel handed the basket over to Alice, "Don't drop it." he stated matter of fact, as Alice shot a glare to him then smiled. They were both trying so very hard to get along with each other for mother. It was hard enough, but they had agreed not to bicker about anything whatsoever until afterward.
Rasiel moved over to Kae and picked her up into his arms. She was a little heavier than he had expected but he tried not to let on to his surprise. "Just hold on tightly." he requested and flapped his wings and took flight into the sky. Alice was quick to follow as she held tight to the basket. Rasiel was leading the way as they flew quite a far distance but it didn't take much time at all as they arrived at what looked like an old inactive volcano that hadn't ceased and forestry had grown all over it. There was a clearing at the top as they set down there. You could see the world from there, and even the academy still far off into the distance. It was a beautiful sight to behold as Rasiel set Kae down.
"Oh wow.. this place is amazing.. you two really outdid yourself this time.." Kae laughed. The doctor really hadn't expected anything for Mother's Day since she barely saw herself a mother, but rather a creator of life. She also secretly knew of the siblings' distaste for each other as she would always hear Alice yelling at someone on the phone and wasn't hard to guess who. It was very thoughtful of them to stop bickering for two seconds to take her out to eat all the way out there.
Alice set the basket down and they pulled out a blanket and spread it out across the ground, then Rasiel set up all the food, plates, and utensils. They ate lunch until they were all full, idling chatting to each other other recent events with one another. After a while, they had been chatting so long that the sun was starting the set.
"Thank you both so much for a wonderful Mother's Day. I couldn't have asked for more." Kae exclaimed happily.
"Mother, can I ask a question?" Rasiel inquired softly.
Alice already knew what was about to come as she quirked her eyebrow.
"Sure, what is it, Rasi?" Kae replied.
"Mother, who is your favorite?" he asked with a stern face.
"RASIEL!" Alice exclaimed angrily, appalled at his question.
Kae looked to the two of them and then burst out laughing and stood.
The two siblings looked to her then to each other puzzled.
"Well that's an easy one.. Neither of you." Kae responded with a grin.
Alice then laughed and stood as well, moving over to Kae.
"Let's go back now." Kae then spoke as Alice then nodded and picked up Kae and began to flap her wings taking to the sky.
"B-but WAIT! THAT DOESN'T EVEN ANSWER MY QUESTION!!" he called out and then sighed. Packing up the left over chocolate and cheesecake, he figured he could share the rest with Deskri once he got back. He took up the basket and took flight, darting after them. "HEY!! WAIT UP!!!" he yelled as he tried to catch up with them as they both just continued to laugh.

++Illness++
-Diary Entry-
It truly has been a long time since I've written in my diary. Mother suggested that it may help calm my nerves to write all my feelings out on paper. It took me a while to find it though, but here it is again, just as pristine as I last left it. My son, Lucian, is sick. My mother feared that it may have been a new virus that could become contagious to other Metas, so she decided to bring him out to the dessert home to treat him. I came along despite the danger, I am his mother after all. Besides, he doesn't cooperate as well when I'm not around. I had left my three other children with Syth: my wife. I hope they are all alright. I cannot bare the pain of being so far away from her again. Back into the forsaken dessert, the place that took me away last time from my one and only love.
My mother has informed me that Lucian is responding well to the treatment, and that soon we may return home to the Academy. The news in itself is a godsent. Being around my despicable little brother this long has nearly driven me mad. He's been such a drama queen the entire time being here, talking about Deskri and how he misses him. At least I have been strong enough to deal with being away from my love. He, in his infinite stupidity, has not taken a breath without the word 'Deskri' being uttered from his lips. What a lack of self-control it is.
On the bright side, he has not turned into Obscurite since our arrival out here, and it leads me to believe that the bad thing is finally dead, and so I am inclined to feel safe, and be happy for the safety of my children. We should be returning very soon, and I cannot wait to see Syth's face again. As I'm sure, Lucian will be more than pleased as well to see his siblings again. For now, I can only sit and wait patiently. My mother will be home shortly.

++Regrets++
-Diary Entry-
Of all the things I've done, I've come to regret a lot of things in my life. I was a fool to think this glamorous life would be kind to me. I was young, and I was stupid. I was a horrible mother, but how could I have done better. I tried, but sometimes you must face defeat and I just have to admit I failed. I cannot even look him in the face anymore. The one child that didn't hate me in the end. The only one who still calls me his mother, and I can't even look him in the eyes or say his name. I gave up a long time ago. But I kept him. I kept him close. How could I do that? My brother came and took him. I didn't even fight it. I let him come and take my child. I haven't seen him since.
I am alone, but sometimes, my brother comes to visit. He worries about me. I know that. But as much as I try, I can't find the will to speak to him. I can't even look at him either. I wish I could tell him what I've been seeing. Sometimes I'm scared of my brother. He seems so gentle. But when I glance at his eyes, he looks so hollow. His eyes are absent of life. It scares me. It reminds me of that demon's eyes. The one I fought out of my brother. I see that demon in my dreams. He won't leave my mind in peace. I hear his laughter in my empty home. In this empty, rundown shack of a home. I'm afraid of that demon. He calls to me. He won't leave me be. I'm afraid he will become my brother again. A fear so great, I sometimes refuse to let him in.
Where is my son? Where has he gone? I think I lost him.
I think I lost something important.
Who is that girl? I've seen her once before...
Who is that demon in my house? What does he have to be laughing about?
Please leave me alone. I want to be alone.
