Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Nothing, they fell in love and kissed and that was about it since your mother was basically in bed since that day, she may have gotten away from being grounded but she she was anyway because of her injuries and as for Darmani, he truly was, and still is, a gentleman, he would never harm a hair on his your mothers head but because Jack hated the fact his youngest daughter was with some strange adult male well...that was enough to class Darmani as a *****, an adult man just doesn't date 'children', they are always after something else or at least thats how Jack saw it" he said as he conjured up a box of tissues and handed them to Rocky.

~~~~~

Wicca had finally gotten to the source and grabbed the pony and took her back to her office, checking her over to see if anything was wrong physically but she couldn't see anything but she did send for a medic just to make sure "it will be alright Blue, I will get in contact with your parents now" she said as she picked up her mirror and mumbled a spell, touching it and making a mirror appear in front of Maria since, obviously, Lemonade and Darmani couldn't use magic and to get them back to her office quickly she would need the help of a magic user.

Maria stopped and blinked as she noticed the mirror and touched it "umm yes?" She asked looking into it, noticing it was Wicca "oh, Lady Wicca, what a surprise."

"Enough of that, this is vital, gather up Lemonade and Darmani, I think they may want to see their daughter, I found her crying in a cave in the dead forest outside of Solstice, the one where toxins are found in the soil and cave, I have sent for the best medic, she will be here as soon as possible, shes just finishing seeing a patient" she said as she sat down and placed the mirror on her desk.

"Yes, of course, we will be there as soon as possible, thank you SO much Lady Wicca" she said as she made the mirror dissapear and then touched her pendant, watching the dragon spirit go off and just waited for the others.

Moments later Lemonade and Tira noticed their pendantsglow, touching them they both ended up next to Maria in an instant "have you found her?" Lemonade asked Maria who nodded "please, take me to her" she ased, ignoring the fact her mate was, probably, going to arrive in seconds but was too busy worried about her daughter.

"Just wait for Darmani" she said as she tried tocalm Lemonade down.

Red looked up and and over at Darmani "not here, did you remember how those pendants work?" He asked as he gestured to the one around Darmani's neck "touch it, it will instantly take you where you are meant to go" he said smiling at him as he looked back at the girls "youre welcome" Red said, smiling at Rocky "I agree, it is nice that your mother mated with someone as sweet as him...though we might need to work a tad on his memory" he teased a little, trying to lighten the mood a little, if only for a moment.

Danny walked by and pressed the pendant around Darmani's neck, transporting him instantly to the others "that took care of that, I will go with them, maybe I can help in some way" he said as he vanished also and arrived next to the others "I care to see how Blue is also and see if I can be of any help" Danny said smiling at Maria "I guess you call, Maria."

Maria nodded "yes, if you will please follow me through the mirror we can be there in a second" she said as she gestured towards the mirror which would make them all end up in Wicca's place at Government house.

Lemonade didn't waste any time and walked through it, the sooner she got to see her daughter the better.

Tira stayed back with Danny, deciding to let his father go first, after all it was his daughter, so he only deserved to be the second one there.

Sierra finally nodded and took a sip of her drink "I...I agree, Jack is a problem but he is also our grandfather and remember what mom said? She didn't want us hating him which is why she didn't tell us, I know it is a bit of a problem she shouldn't of hid from us BUT she did think it was for the best and I don't want to hate grandfather but I do understand this is a problem I just think we should talk to him or something about it when he is calmed down and we get the full story about what happened with Blue, why be quick to judge him if he may not have done anything?" She said as she took another sip of her drink before taking picking up the fork and taking a bite of her cheesecake.

Tira, Danny and Maria followed the others and wlked through, making the mirror vanish behind her.

Lemonade noticed her daughter and ran over to her "Blueberry, darling, what happened!?" She asked sitting on one side of her still crying daughter, putting her legs around her and pulling her into a hug.

Blueberry just sat there, not speaking and only crying, she didn't want to speak, if anything she just wanted to stay here, maybe she could have one of the rooms they have here, if only for a while.

"Excuse me" she said to the others "the medic will be here shortly and I haven't been able to get a single word out of her either though I do ask if I can preform a spell that will let me see her thoughts and memories, I don't usually do this as it is invading someones privacy but in some cases, like now, where the one who is under arrest or upset or whatever and won't talk we perform this spell to see what really happened, see if we can get the information we need but it is only at the say so of family members or the pony in question" she said as she looked at Maria. "Maria, since you know Blueberry better then I do and have worked closely with me more then any other of your classmates and who I trust whole heartedly then I will allow you to do it, Blue might like it better if it was someone close to doing it instead" she said to Maria who she hoped wouldn't mind or nor would Blue.

Maria nodded at Wicca "sure" she said as she looked at Blue and her parents "Blue, do you mind if I do this?" She asked, walking over and placing a hoof on Blues back only to get no response from her so she turned to her parents "I know this is a big ask and I promise, this is a spell only the elders know and a couple of other government officials know, this spell can't be used like other spells given the nature of how it is used so whatever I see will be seen only by me but" she said turning to Blue and kissing her forehead. "I do promise I will not tell a single soul what is in your head besides what we need to know, I could never ruin the trust your daughters and son have in me and I never would want to, but I do need your permission to do this, we don't really have hours to wait till shes calmed down it is better to know now then wait" she said looking at Lemonade and Darmani and then back at Blue, seeing if maybe she would of said something but didn't so she just sighed softly.

~~~~~~

"I agree, I don't want to be around someone like that either" Sierra agreed with her sister "however he IS family, he IS our grandfather and like Rocky said, we shouldn't be fighting, I hate it when we fight but I also understand that something should be done about this, also take into consideration that we have not had something come up like this before, our grandfather has been nothing but good to us, regardless whether he did this or not, he has been kind, caring, loving grandfather that we grew up with, he may have made a vital mistake but it is not only him who we should be upset about it is mom and dad as well. Mom and dad never told us so we never knew not to disturb him when he was like this. I am not saying that this lets out grandfather off the hook I am just saying that instead of fighting we talk about this, we listen to both our parents and our grandfather and find a course of action afterwards, it was another point that Red made in his story, knowing mom she also didn't want the family to be broken up, if she never forgave her father we wouldn't probably even know our grandparents, mom might not have even kept in contact with Uncle Winter, we wouldn't even have a family on moms side if she never forgave him so" she said looking at Sherbet "do you want our family to become broken because of this? Do you want to risk not seeing grandmother or Uncle Winter because of something grandfather hasn't done in months?

I am not saying we can't be upset and angry at our grandfather but I am also saying that we shouldn't break up this family either, mom loves this family, it was wrong of her to hide this from us but still, in a whole she truly does love this family and just think of how shes going to feel if she knows this family is now at war with her side of the family, she is going to hate it, do you really want to upset mom like this?" She asked her sister, trying to be the person who was sitting on the side of the fence for this matter.

"Well, to be fair, he DID say he didn't want to be here, he DID try and get out of comming but he was forced to come, he was forced by probably both Red and grandmother, so he DID know what he was like and he DID try to stop it but instead we got him on a bad night" she said as she looked at Red "you did insist didn't you?"

Red nodded "yes, I did, so did Frostbite, he told us he was in no condition to come but I said that it was a special occasion, Frostbite talked him into it and well, between us both he came, so in a way it was mine and Frostbites fault, Jack was firmly set on not coming tonight BECAUSE he knew he would be in a foul mood all night and may possibly do something he would regret but since your mothers said it was a special occasion, well, we both thought it best to get him here, Lemonade loves her father and it is meant to be a joyous occasion that Lemonade wanted her father to be apart of but yes, I admit, Frostbit and I should of left him alone" he said with a sigh, feeling terrible about it.

~~~~~~

Lemonade looked at Blue who was still crying and not looking at anyone and back at her mate "I...I will allow it, I usually hate invasions of privacy but in this case I will allow it" she said as she got up and moved over to her mate to let Maria do whatever she was meant to do.

"Thank you, Lemonade" she said as she placed both hooves onto Blues head and silent spoke the spell in her mind as she and Blue started to glow a pale blue light and Maria started to see images of Blue's, her friends, her outings, the guys shes slept with...ugh...yeah...moving past them right to..."got it" she said as she concentrated for a few moments before breaking the spell and connection with her and sat back and looked gravely at them "this...this isn't good" she said as she let a tear roll down her cheek.

"Maria, what's wrong" Lemonade asked, rushing to her side.

"Blueberry was..." she paused as she got herself together "Blue was attacked by Jack, going by what happened she entered the room thinking she might be able to talk to Jack, apologize for what happened downstairs but as soon as she placed her hoof onto Jack, having not had the potion properly made, he woke up and basically gleared at her before punching her, though I don't know if that was actually MEANT to be a punch or a slap that just ended up to be a punch instead given the state he is in but at any case she did end up flying back and hitting the draws that were opposite the bed and she got up and ran off straight after that."

"Blue!" She said as she sat next to her daughter and cuddled her, watching her daughter just cry a bit harder as she looked at Maria "thank you" she said as she nuzzled her daughters head with her cheek and looked at Wicca "when is this..." she said just as there was a knock at the door.

"This will be Esmeralda now" she said as she looked at the door "come in" she said as an old looking goblin woman walked in.

"Please step away from the pony" Esmeralda said as she walked over to her, bag in hand "she needs medical attention" she said as she watched Lemonade move and give her room to work.

"Umm yeeeah, I forgot to mention, this woman is one of the best medics in the Magical Realm but shes also a no fuss kind of girl, she comes off as rude but she does ease up and becomes kinder once she knows the patient is all better or at least on the mend, till then, she is how she is and yes, she does care even if she doesn't show it."

After several moments of checking Blue over Esmeralda looked at the others "you two I take it are Darmani and Lemonade?" She said looking at the flutter and, of course, the pony that moved for her before realising who Lemonade was "I remember you, you were the one I patched up when you were a yearling, you have recovered nicely" she said smiling a little at her "you still not going to tell me what happened that day? I know your story was never true" she said, having figured that out but not about to try and get the actual real story out of her if she didn't wish to tell it, she would like to know, as a medic it would be good on her files but as it was a once off she let it go.

Lemonaded nodded "yes I am all better thanks to you but what I told you was the truth, it was a wild Chimera that just wanted something to do, I got in its way so it chose me to 'play' with..." she further lied, she wasn't about to tell this medic anything when she has the powers to basically take her father away from her without question and she wasn't going to let that happen, if she had to lie to keep her father then she would and thankfully she wasn't one who was able to read minds so she never could get the truth out of her.

"Alright, if you wish to keep to that story then so be it, I won't ask again" she said as she looked at Blue and back at the parents well, I have good news and bad news, the good news is that your daughter will have a full recovery and the bad news is that she her jaw is fractured and she will be terribly bruised on the inside around her jaw area and but I can fix that up easily though I do recommend bed rest, she does have a slight concussion so she will have to be in bed for a couple of days or so just while I can monitor that but other then that she looks perfectly fine, rather surprised myself. You see, where she was found has two different toxins there and if you don't know how to protect yourself from them then you could end up dead, the least of it would be just terribly sick with no cure, it was a cave in a dead forest, no one goes there due to the toxins and because it is a dead forest and so it was marked and everyone was told to stay away from it BUT Lady Wicca knows how to protect herself from it so she can enter there but your daughter, well, she doesn't and yet there is no detection of anything foreign in her body which, after doing several quick tests, each one able to detect strange toxins and the like in the body, she is clear" she said as she closed her bag.

"If you would like to take her to the third floor bedrooms and take one of them I will be back in a moment with a potion that will help fix her jaw and clear the bruising up, as for the concussion that is a day by day potion monitoring, the brain area is a sensitive area that needs to be monitored more closely then anywhere else but she will be fine in a couple of days or so" she said smiling a little at Darmani and Lemonade.

Lemonade walked over and cuddled her daughter "thank you so much, Esmeralda" she said as she watched the goblin walk to the door and leave before turning back to Blue and just held her for a few moments "thank goodness she wasn't also contaminated" she said as she kissed her daughters head.

"Actually, they do!" Sierra called out to her sister as she left, obviously she hasn't been around a lot of places, there was probably a nightmare pony ganging up on a dream valley pony right now just because the Dream Valley pony accidently stepped on the nightmares foot or something or a Dream Valley pony fighting with a Dream Valley pony over an apple they both want or whatever, these fights go on a lot, was her sister watching what happens around here at all? Of course, Sierra always did have a better eye for these things, after all, it was all she could do, sitting at her bay window, watching what goes on before she got medication so she saw alot of fights between ponys for no actual good reason.

Red sighed "just let her calm down though may I suggest we all talk this out with everyone else but her? We all know her view on it, we all know she will want Jack gone but we also know that will only upset your mother and if she loses her then she will be just as upset so I think maybe we should have this talk without Sherb around, it might go a bit better" he said, not wanting Sherb to be left out but if she was going to be like this well... "one thing I didn't tell you though is that the medic that healed your mother up also has the power to actually get rid of your grandfather, it is a Magical Realm thing, if there is abuse or murder or anything of the kind that happens towards another Magical Realm pony then that pony can be taken away without warning and never seen from again. When your mother was being healed she lied to the medic, she told her that she was attacked by a wild Chimera all because she wanted to protect her father, her father was willing to accept the fate of whatever it was the medic planned for him but instead Lemonade spoke up before her father and told her that a wild Chimera wanted to 'play' with her instead of letting your grandfather take the blame.

Now, this medic has always suspected that it was something else but there were no actual tell-tale signs of it being abuse or anything else like that because the 'Chimera' did a real number on your mother way back when so anything that may be classed as abuse couldn't be so your grandfather got off but now...well...the medic may end up knowing what happened to Lemonade if they don't come up with something IF he did in fact abuse Blue and Lemonade won't let that happen, she will create another lie if need be, anything to save her father" Red said with a sigh and took a sip of his drink.

Lemonade cuddled her daughter and her mate for a little longer before looking at Wicca "Lady Wicca, may we use a bed here?"

Wicca nodded "yes, of course, I will see everyone soon" she said as she silently said a spell and sent everyone in her office to the largest room they had on the third floor, a room thats usually kept for royalty or elders or the like.

Once in the room Blue headed for the bed, pulled the covers back and climbed in, covering herself up and just laying there, slowly starting to calm down.

"Everyone, thank you for being here and your help but can you please leave us? Come see Blue tomorrow, it might be better if we just let her rest now" she said smiling at them a little.

Maria nodded "of course" she said as she opened up a portal "we will see you at home" she said as she gestured to the others to go through "take care Blue, we will come visit tomorrow" she said as she followed the other two and left the parents alone with their daughter as she closed the portal behind them.

Lemonade looked at her mate and sighed "what are we going to do?" She whispered, deciding to let Blue just rest then think of anything else right now but still, she DID have her father to worry about and no way was she going to give up on him, she would rather give herself up and say she did it then send her father away, yes she was pregnant but still, if it meant saving her fathers life then so be it.

Red nodded "yes, I understand that and I guess I was wrong in saying what I did, I'm sorry but do you want your mother to be taken away? If I know her she will happily tell this medic it was her who hit Blue just to save her father if it came to that, your mother will do anything for her family and if that means telling a lie to save her father then she will, she won't let her father go without a fight and a good one at that" he said, if there was one thing she would do it was to protect her family at all costs even if it meant it was her that was punished instead.

"She can't! Blue will just say it wasn't here" Sierra said looking at Red "though...if she is anything like mom she might make up a lie also just to protect the family so this is a bit of a mess..." she said with a sigh "maybe all we can do is talk this out, just wait to see what mom and dad say when they get back and go from there?" She suggested, thinking maybe it was best to just wait.

Lemonade nuzzled her mate "I know daddy was wrong, I know he has to pay for what he did but...but" she said as she broke down and silently cried "I can't let them take him away, my childrens lives shouldn't be in danger but as a woman who prides herself on family and keeping them together I just can't let them take daddy away, you heard I made up that Chimera story just to save him last time and that was when he WAS going to hand himself over but I couldn't let him but now...I don't know" she said as Blue turned around.

"Mom...dad...?" She said tiredly, having calmed down a lot now though her jaw hurt a bit but meh, so be it, she had to say this now "p..please don't send grandfather away" she said, having heard about the laws and what not here, she had been bored one day and decided to sit in Government House and read up on them whilst her grandmother worked beside her "I know what he did was wrong and I am angry at him and a little scared, I admit, but I don't want him to be sent away" she said as she started to cry again, this was a mistake, a massive one but a mistake nevertheless and she didn't want her family to be torn apart over this.

Lemonade rushed over to her daughters side and climbed onto the bed with her and held her, letting her cry as she looked over at her mate 'what are we going to do?' She mouthed to him, this was a major mess.

Seirra jumped up and opened up a portal "Red, excuse me" she said, running through before Red could stop her and ended up outside her sisters door "Rocky, please, open up, we are not blaming you, we were just speaking in general terms, putting all ideas out there, I swear, we would never blame this on you, I apologize greatly if that is what it seemed" she said, wantiung to just talk to her sister without a door blocking them.

Blue shook her head slowly, she knew her father was right, she knew that her grandfather couldn't get away with what he did but she wasn't about to break up this family "no but..." she said as she looked up at her father, having thought about it for a while, since she arrived in that cave really, and took a deep breath and let it out "I will tell the medic it was my fault, going by the laws here the medic plays cop here, if he or she knows abuse happened they make the abuser disappear and depending on what the out come is after the interrogation Jack may be KILLED, he may not be right in what he did but I don't want my grandfather killed" she said as she snuggled back against her mother.

Lemonade looked at Darmani "do you see why I now didn't tell that medic it was fathers fault? It was easier to blame on a wild Chimera, if that medic knew Jack almost killed me then he would of been killed, he was set to give himself up that day but I spoke up and told the medic it was a wild Chimera, I knew that if my father left..." she said as she started to cry herself "...if my father left I would never see him again, the girls and Tira wouldn't have a grandfather, these four babies inside of me wouldn't know who their grandfather was, I know what he did was wrong but still..." she said as she cried into her daughters head, hugging her daughter close. "Given that he nearly killed me that day then that would mean he would of died, my father has always wanted to live under the law of this world and as a magical realm citizen he would of more then likely been killed then not and there is no way I will ever just hand my father over to be killed, I would take a thousand beatings and I would tell a thousand lies if it meant still being able to keep my father" she said as she just wished there was another way, she wasn't wanting what happened to happen again but no way was she going to just hand her own father over to be killed, especially now when hes done this twice, they would find out he did it to her and she knew it would be the last time she ever saw of him and no matter what he did, she wasn't going to have her father killed.
