Welcome to Gaia! ::

Naomi slowly looked over her shoulder when she noticed the waitress, who she had placed her order with, run from the dinner. "Oh my god." she said with a slight gasp, quickly sliding out of the booth. Though just as she stood up she was shot once in her left shoulder and the other was a through and through of her chest. As soon as she felt the pain of where the bullets hit she fell to the ground, gasping for air. She was having a hard time breathing as she felt someone pick her up, asking her if she was alright. Blood dripped from her wounds and when she tried to answer him she just ended up coughing up blood before passing out in his arms.

Halco gave a sigh of relief when Dusk chimed in with it only being a bit of teaseing, then he looked over to charlotte with an almost pouting look on his face. "it's not funny." he said as he finally sat down next to dusk.he looked to the other girl that burst out about this adoption thing "yeah pretty sure noone was all up and weirded out by it, i mean hell, my parents droped me off in an alley, we all have our pasts" he didnt mind being blunt about some things, in this case he figured it was ok.

Shadow remained silent during the conversations in part because what he had to say to Marcus had to be said to Marcus alone but he would also take this time to examine how Marcus would do things and so far he was not all that impressed. It was a good thing that he could answer a call form a great distance because it looked like many things were about to go horribly wrong if they had not already gone horribly wrong. All he could do right now was keep a hold of Sakura to comfort her for now. He would have a lot of mess to clear up now and to think he thought he could retire. Shadow felt a small voice in his head telling him to calm down and relax but he was finding it hard to do such a thing in this situation. Then the song started again so now he would relax regardless of what was going on. "Actually I will leave you all to your socialising. I have one thing I must attend to before I get involved in everything. I will be in my crypt if there is anything terrible urgent that needs to be dealt with." Said Shadow. he gave Sakura a final hug and a small kiss on her forehead just to remind her that he did indeed think of her as his daughter before walking out, expecting someone to follow him to his crypt so when he arrived he did leave the door open, took a seat at his desk and opened up his stronger alcohols and what cigarettes he had left. "Now I remember why I smoked all the time and drank so much. Consider yourself lucky that you do not have my job." he said, apparently to no one but he was talking to someone.

As Rose spoke there was nothing but silence, it remained quiet for a few minutes after she had finished before whispers could be heard echoing through the forest as if coming form all around them. What she had said obviously struck a cord with them. After a little more time had passed they did show themselves. Two beings, one male and one female with their hoods up covering their faces. "We will help." Said the male but said nothing more after that. They knew what they had to do here but still had not obtained their original goal. They would help in this since it was the greater threat for now.

Nolaloth just waited for everything to be over before saying a word, "Well, now that we are all in agreement we can return to the manor and find out what exactly is going to happen. The last thing we need is to be charging off without a proper plan." he said.

Sakura slowly looked up at Shadow when he said that he needed to take care of something. She nodded slightly before hugging him back and felt him kiss her forehead. 'Love you papa!' she sent him as he walked out of the manor. She then looked over at Charlotte so she could say something about the comment that she had made. "If no one was thinking ill about why I was calling Shadow my father then why do I continue to receive dirty looks from everyone. I did no deserve a warning glare from your husband, even though I did slap him for what he had done. But to be honest he had no right to attack Raven. He had done nothing wrong at all and he jumps to conclusion without even getting the whole story, just like his sister Rosaline." she said as she slowly looking over to Marcus, crossing her arms before her.

Angel sighed softly as she slowly placed the book she was reading on the table next to her chair. She then stood and left the library, having gotten thirsty. After entering the kitchen she couldn't help but let out a slight laugh when hearing Marcus ask Seth is he had any plans for the future and if he planned on marrying at all. She had been actually listening to the conversation for a while now. "Yeah right! Like you would ever let Seth marry your son. You just called him the biggest pain in your side." she said as grabbed a drink from the fridge. She then turned to look over at Seth, having felt the emotion from him. "But you already knew that didn't you Seth?" she asked with a sad look on her face.

Seth slowly looked over to Sevren as he took his hand under the table, smiling slightly. He then looked back out the window, still wanting to be anywhere other then here. Though when he heard Marcus ask him about his future plans were and if he planned to get married. He slowly looked over at him, wanting to shoot him a glare but his attention was suddenly taken to Angel by her comment on what Marcus had head. He then looked down at the table when she asked him if he already knew it. "Yes I did. My shadows where out roaming and heard Marcus make the comment, they then told me. This was after we were invited to breakfast and Sevren really wanted to come so I didn't say anything." he said, still looking down.

Hitome shivered as she stood there, quickly grabbing the towel from Kaine. "I understand that, but now I'm freezing!" she said as she wrapped the towel around her, trying to warm herself up. She then stepped out of the shower, wanting to cuddle up beside Kaine since she was so cold.

Alice smiled softly as she sat on Kaden's lap, feeling him kiss her cheek. She couldn't help but smile softly as she ran her fingers through his hair. "Well it seems there are heated arguments going on in the manor right now....so how about in a little bit." she said softly with a smile, tilting her head slightly. "What would you like to do until then?" she asked softly, letting him decide.

Naomi slowly opened her eyes when she felt someone shaking her, hearing the voice telling her to wake up. She slowly looked over to the man who seemed to be trying to help her. "p-please....h-help....m-me..." she said through the pain that was rushing through her. Her vision then started to get blurry as she laid there, her breathing becoming shallower and shallower.

Sakura sighed softly as she slowly put her hands to her side. "Okay. You know how Roaline was with Raven right...." she started to say, trying to explain it. She then let out another slight sigh as she calmed down. "It would be better for me to just show everyone then try to explain it. I will show you my memories as I've seen them. I can also show you what Marcus had done, thanks to Raven letting me view it." she said softly, slowly closing her eyes. She then showed everyone how Alexis kissed Raven and him pulling away, as well as Rosaline and Sajuuk kissing. She then showed them that she had informed Raven on what had happened and how Alexis started crying over the fact that Raven was leaving. She then showed them how Marcus had attacked and what he had said to Raven, thanks to Raven's memory since she was able to show them that as well. Once she was finished she let out a sight sigh, leaning against the counter to keep her balance. "Now who do you think was in the wrong?" she asked softly, trying to steady her vision from using to much energy showing everyone.

Seth quickly looked up when Sevren stood up, saying that they were going. He sighed slightly as he sat there, looking back to the table. "Just sit down Sevren. It's alright. I don't really care anymore." he said, not wanting to come between him and his family.

Angel shrugged slightly as she walked toward the door. "Hey I was just speaking the truth. Unlike you people. You never say what you want to people's face, you only talk about them behind their back. You gotta learn that's not alright. You're hurting more people then just one person by doing that." she said before leaving the kitchen. She then walked back into the library and took the seat in which she had been sitting in before. She then picked up her book again before setting her drink down. Angel then started reading where she left off.

Hitome nodded slightly as she felt herself start to warm up. "Sure is. I could stay in your arms forever." she said softly with a smile as she looked up at him.

Alice smiled softly with a slight giggle. "You used the right words." she said softly slowly leaning for to place a kiss on his cheek. "So what would you like to do until the fighting ends?" she asked softly with a smile and a tilt of her head.

Halco looked to dusk "you gonna stop trying to tease me anytime soon, or do you want to make this war." he said to her with a chuckle. then looking over to sevren he sighed "sevren, try to ignore your father's thoughts on this matter, if at all possible, believe me he has a lot on his plate aswell, and when something new comes along that can just ruin it for you, despite how he may act he cares for you, and eventually i believe he will accept this, if not that then he will atleast learn to shut up about it when he realizes he cant win." he looked to marcus "and no marcus i am not talking about you as if you arnt here, i know you are, and im trying to help, so please just stay calm." he looked back to dusk. "sometimes i wounder how families manage to work in this place."

Raven sighed in relief it was working while he was an older vampire being a son of the head of a coven made sure he couldnt turn just any one "not that i have to worry about that any more" he muttered sadly before brighting up this girl i turned she will end up being family i wonder if a bond will form he thought Raven looked down "hey slow down there little one" Raven said "i am not full of blood" gently pulling his arm away he knelt down by her ear "ill tell you this before you fall asleep but i have to go but ill be back before you wake up hopefully ill be back to help you tell you what ill done to you and to take the bullets out of you for now there just going to have to stay in there but dont worry ill stay till you fall asleep" Raven proved this by sitting down next to the bed getting an idea he started to sing softly an old lullaby his mother sang to him when he couldnt sleep
