"Who said I wasn't going to fight, and no I have not accepted it. I still have things to do and I'm not going to let you get in my way." She said plainly.
Jen walked around the town a little more, "Tien where are you?" She said finally.

"Good. This will be fun then," Troden replied, stopping a few feet away from her, "Busy....aren't we all. But it seems your time has run out. Unless..." he trailed off, as if listening to something in his head, "Unless you wish to end this with a bang.."
[Tien is in the Nocturne, so you should make Jen mindcall him or something...]

Lina thought about it for a little and smirked, "That would be a sight to see, me running through the forest chasing a deer..."

Fieran Anullan Tara looked at her in surprise and slowly nodded, much to Tien's surprise. The brother let her go and let her sit down, his silver hair moving slightly as he leaned against the wall nearby, "I...I shall tell everything," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. This was not the Tara Lina knew so well, nor was it the Sulla who held such command over herself. Something had happened to her. Something horrible...

Tien narrowed his eyes as well, the tension quickly rising around them. His silver eyes flashed before straightening and returning the smile with a pretty fake one of his own, "Very well..." he said, moving towards the door, but not before glancing at Tara, who in turn closed her eyes and looked down even though her back was turned. He then left, the door closing behind them.
Tara warmed her arms, suddenly cold as the tension lessened. her eyes remained on the floor as she waited for the inevitable questions, "I-I....I'm sorry I haven't..visited..." she said lamely.

Merlin nodded, "So am I. He has you under his thumb again, doesn't he?" She said, after Tyran had left as well. She rubbed her temples and closed her eyes, "Is he listening in? If so, please block him, I want you to tell me what happened and I don't want him influencing the story." She was tired of this, Tien was going to be cut down at teh knees one day if he continued these games.

Tyran looked at Merlin, worry clear on his face, but he stood up and walked towards the door. The man's icy stare made the boy stop for a moment, watching him walk off. He then opened the door and silently wished Merlin goodluck as he left.

Tara's eyes locked in on Merlin's own as she said, "He wouldn't do that. He would go so low.." a small bit of strength influenced her voice, but after that it disappeared, "He loves me..."
Tien walked down the hall, his eyes closed as he thought of his next step, something that would be harder to do than he planned. Especially with merlin and her nosy fledgling child running around... he sighed before finding the staircase and slowly walking down, the music hitting him at full blast with each step.

"Your brother loves you as a brother should not love his sister. He is abusive and controlling." Merlin paused and chuckled, "Funny, I just adopted a young woman who was in such a relations hip, Mona rescued her actually. She's found the strength to break free with a bit of help from Dorien, I believe and she's discovered herself." She rested her chin on her hands, "I'm a happy to see that the Tara I grew to love has not been quashed completely." She leaned back, "What happened? Why has Tien unleashed Troden?"

"Tien is none of those things. He's never hit me once," she said, her voice barely a whisper now, "He just has his own way of showing it...our family has always had this difference within it. Why would we have lycan and vampiric blood in our vein if we didn't?" she asked, making lame excuses.
And then she heard about Monaleth, "Monaleth is here?" Tara asked, surprise in her voice, "I thought she had died in the war...I am glad she's is alright. But..." she didn't say anything about the woman, nor Dorien. It seemed that Tien didn't even need to use his powers to control someone...

Merlin watched her a moment, "You think that abusiveness only has to do with physical things? You are sadly mistaken, dearling. It's so sad, women in your position, in Magnolia's position. Many of them just don't understand that they are involved in an unhealthy realationship. I saw how he looked at you, I see how you are around him. You are not yourself. You are his little play thing, his sister, he wishes you did not share blood and yet he is glad that you do. A brother cannot have it both ways."
She stayed unmmoving as she quieted for a moment, "Mona is doing very well. If you do not see her I'll pass on the message."
"You saw what he did to his brother, his own flesh and blood as well. If he is that way to his brother what makes you immune. Humans, vampires, fae, weres they are all the same. You may be safe a time but for how long? How long before his treatment of Troden slowly starts to become his treatment of you. He already has you quiet and obedient, scared, oh so coy. It makes me sick." Merlin didn't look sick, in fact her face was completely expressionless, even her eyes were neutral, but they were fixed on Tara.

Tyran stayed well behind Tien, watching the man curiously until he began to descend the stairs. There, the young boy let the man disappear as he began to think about what had just happened in Merlin's office. The silver haired vampire was very powerful, even Tyran could feel the mental power in the man, but his sister was powerful too. So why did she act so weak?
Tyran didn't dare link his mind to her, not yet anyway. He was sure Merlin felt the same strangeness between the two that he did, "I dearly hope everything woks out." he said, watching the oblivious dancers below.

"I know that Melrin. I dearly know that. You of all people know of my powers of the mind. Please, don't talk to me like I don't know.." it was a plea more than annoyance, "I am his little sister. He only wishes to protect me at all costs."
She nodded distractedly at the kind gesture before resting her hand against her forehead.
"They hated each other since the day they mastered their powers Sister," It was a word she only used for Merlin, special word between friends. She hadn't used it in so long that she quieted down in surprise because of it. After a few moments though, she began to speak once again, "They hated each other during the war and even now. He only freed older brother from the binds he had placed in his mind, so he could be a Sulla again. And not...not anything else." the weak will that was now within her couldn't hold Merlin's gaze for long and they settled upon the desk, looking at the marking upon it, "He's never hated me. We have never fought. And he would never touch me as he did Troden." she made it sound almost as if she was trying to convince herself.

Merlin closed her eyes, Yet who will protect you from him, ma petit, and indeed you do need protecting. She asked quietly in Tara's mind, "His love is evident, Tara. It is also unbalanced. I don't like seeing you so diminished. Do you see it? Do you see what you are right now? You can't even look at me. What happened to the strong woman I used to gossip with? He's made you lock her away, I do belive he is fearful you will become to powerful to handle. And that is the way it should be, you should not be handled at all."
Merlin stood, rounded the desk and sat on it so she was closer to Tara, "I've always told you. You can stay here if you'd like, food is plentiful, those who wish to encourage your powers are plenty as well. It's a perfect growing enviroment. Tien will be upset but I've long stopped worrying about what he'll do and while I encouarge you to continue loving him as you do, I discourage this...." Merlin gestured, at first not sure how to word it, "This mindset you're in."
She put up a hand to stop Tara from responding, "I want you to think very hard on what we've talked about. Meditate on it and make a decision, either you stay locked away in your head or you open up and reinstate your individuality. You may be locked up but I am certain Tien isn't the one who has the key. You have it."
About that time, Jack wandered into the Nocturne. He hissed painfully as he was struck by music both physically and audibly. What he had heard from one of his co-workers was true, this place was certainly jumpin'. His girl radar immediately picked up on the eyeful of attactiveness, taking stock and smiling charmingly at them as he waded into the club.

Tara couldn't say anything even if she wanted to. The words seemed to echo in her mind as she spoke, never leaving until they grow louder and louder. Tears welled up in her eyes but she did not cry. Some part of her never could allow herself to cry, not ever.
And then the offer fell from Merlin's lips. Pale blonde hair fell across her face as she laid her head down onto the Blaydon Leader's lap as she closed her eyes, letting the tears fall. What key Sister? I am lost...
Tien looked towards the door calmly, his annoyance gone as he already had a plan in place. He looked at the man curiously before moving towards the bar, talking to one of the more..supernatural bartenders for the special order of 'Red Wine'. The woman set the wineglass in front of him and Tien nodded in thanks, drinking the blood down as he waited for his sister. He was going to have to 'reassure' Tara of the plan. Just incase Merlin had any ideas.
