Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yes. She's living north from here. I left her in search of you. Heh. It was her birthday not long ago. I left then." Tuesday looked ben in the eye. "Ben..heh, You know I'm bipolar right? You trust me?" Tuesday looked down at his feet then looked back up at Ben. "No matter what?"

"Your sure...?" Ben nodded. "I...I killed her Ben. I killed Rose. I didn't mean to. I just... I don't want to do the same to Lilli...You know." He looked back up at Ben. His face was pale. Tuesday felt tears slipping.

((GOsh Tuesday is such a cry baby. But hey, he did kill his lovers sister. And a whole lotta other people,))

Tuesday looked down at his hands, fumbling. "Yeah, she was real uh," He was looking for the right word. "Disapointed when I left. I didn't tell her where I was going. I didn't want her to come." He looked back up. "Ben, will you come live with us? Please?"

"Ben I can't come back empty handed." Tuesday said pleading. "Could you just visit for a while. There surely must be someone in second command. Lilli needs you Ben. SHe complains and dreams about you and Rose leaving her. She hasn't seen either of you for years. Please."

All hope for Lilli diminished. "Oh..."
So I was right...and wrong.
Lilli wouldn't want me back.
And she wouldn't want anyone else either.
She's probably happy with Klaash now.

Tuesday looked down at his hands. His eyes watered, but he would not cry.
He stood up.
"I'm sorry for wasting your time." He walked out the into the hall and then opened the front door. He closed it softly behind him. He walked into the forest and slumped against a near by tree.

He then thought about what he would do.
I can't go back. She wouldn't want me. I couldn't.
I can't stay here.
The sickness is growing stronger. It will soon shut down my muscles. Then in time, kill me.
He sighed as big wet tears slid down his face, knowing that all hope was gone.

He sat there for a while then got up and walked back to the manor. He stopped in front of the large black doors. He put his hand out with he was going to knock then drew it back. He paced for a while.
Suddenly a sharp, blade-like pain struck his legs.
He grunted and fell to the ground. He layed on the cool wet grass letting the pain take his legs.
His hand moved down to his feet, they were bleeding. He followed up his leg. His whole body was bleeding. He stood up and yelled in pain.
He was breathing heavily. He opened the doors and slid inside. He slowly walked to his room.
He shut his door behind him and fell over, making the surrounding rug bloody.
He crawled up to the desk/drawer. He grabbed the mirror and looked at himself, dirty, bloody, helpless. It slid out of his hand. He crawled up onto the bed. By the time he was up the blood was coming out faster out of his skin.
He closed his eyes, awaiting never ending darkness.

He awoke to a bright light.
Dammit. Not dead yet. How long does this thing take?
He looked down on his body, the blood was dried, caked onto his skin, clothes and everything else in the room.
He let his head plop back onto the pillow and he closed his eyes.

Ben watched Tuesday walk right out the door. He then instantly regretted it because he wasn't finshed speaking with him. Ben held his head in his hands. Then very frustrated he went into the kitchen to get some water. If only I could get some help around this place, I could go see Lilli. She most likely needs me just as bad as these kids do, maybe even worse. Dammit I feel so stupid now.

Ben went back into the living room and sat on the couch. I need to find some second in command person here I can't just stay here the rest of my life. Lost in thought, Ben drifted off to sleep. He dreamed about seeing Lilli again, It was nothing like he'd lied to Tuesday about. Ben woke up to a soft knock, knock, knock. It was coming from the front door. Tuesday? Ben thought.

He pacedover to the door, unlatched it and opened it. It was not Tuesday as he'd expected but was a young couple, appearing to be in there late 20's or so. "Er.. come in, Please." Said Ben. They did so. When he turned around he realized they were a couple of friends he'd met back in another house. "Oh! Hey! What're you guys doing here?" Ben asked, suprised to be seeing them.
The man answered," Well Ben we were wondering if you'd agree with us taking this manor off your hands. As well as the duty of parenting these kids." He said, his voice sounding firm.
"Seriously?" Ben asked. The man nodded. "Ok Alright then. Thank you, I don't how to repay you.." Ben said nervously. The man chuckled,"Ben go. We know about Lilli now, that she's alive and all. You need to go see her. Leave. Hurry." The woman pointed to the door in agreement. "Ok." Ben said, pulling his jacket on, as well as his shoes. "Thanks again, goodbye." Ben said before closing the door behind him.

Ben started at a run, heading North. Let's just see if I can find this manor of Tuesday's. Ben kept a running pace, partly because it was in his nature to run fast. Soon he saw lights. HE'd made it to the manor. He now cautiously walked to the door. Before he could knock on it he tumbled sideways. He heard something heavy hit the ground. Then realized it was himself. He blacked out.
