Arith, on the other hand, had floated off to Shux' house with her own little heartfelt parcel. Receiving the present yesterday, spawned her decision to get Shux a little something - and also a bloom that she had been keeping for this feien in particular.
Looking at the house infront of her, she chuckled a bit "I hope this is the right place. Nerpin does have a tendancy of forgetting places.." she muttered with a giggle, and set a little box on the doorstep, and a note that she wrote.
Floating up to the doorbell, she gave a small giggle and floated off, a few feathers molting from her wings.. shedding sure was interesting.The note reads: Dearest Shux:
Upon reading your note, I agree with you wholeheartedly - we should get together really soon (if you bother Valora, I'll bother Nerpin ^^!). I met one of your roommates recently, Rislin I believe, and she briefed me on the ongoings. Say hi to her for me, and I do hope you'll be well until we see again.
I hope you enjoy the gifts I've brought for you.. these blooms reminded me of you dearly, so I had to give them to you.
Love, Arith.

: biggrin ay 171 ~ 6 November::As the door bell rang, the three feiens of the Riddle house were in the middle of a food fight. Each hiding behind different objects in the kitchen. In the center of the floor was a pile of food, but to dart out to the pile would surely attract the attention of the others.
On top the refrigerator, the ancient known as Semella hid behind decorative canisters. She found staying in one spot was useful, although she knew the other two were quite aware of her position. This caused her to constantly check each side to ward off any surprise attacks.
Both Shux and Rislin chose the tactic of moving around to keep their location a secret until they were ready to attack. This, of course, made it impossible to keep hold of a lot of ammunition, therefore they were forced to run to the pile of food to reload often.
But as the bell rung, the darkness feien yelled out: 'Who is it?'
No response returned.
'Go check it out.' Rislin called from somewhere in the left back corner.
Shux glared, which was pointless as neither of the others could see her. 'I'm not going to commit suicide to check out the door. You do it.'
'Pft. Baby!' The time feien darted around the edge of the kitchen. She too did not trust her flat mates to not attack her while she checked out the disturbance. Chancing a glance out the window, the feien noticed a note left on the porch with a few white feathers scattered about. 'Oh, a gift for someone. I think I know who it's for.' she finished in a childish tone.
Shux recognized the tone Rislin had used assuming the package was for her. She too flew to the window and looked down with a smile. 'Ah yes. She received my gift.'
'Gift? Oh ho. Someone's got a girlfriend, nah? Hahaha.' Rislin teased.
Not wanting to be left out, Semella revealed herself from her hiding spot and took next to Shux. 'What does the note say?'
Instead of answering Semella, Shux looked to Rislin. 'You've met Arith?'
'Oh yeah. Last time I was in the shop. Nice girl. Don't see what she sees in you though. Complete opposites by my first judgment.' Rislin rolled back and forth between the heal and ball of her feet, hands clasped behind her back. She smirked at her flat mate as if she might be able to use this against her somehow. Shux spoke of Arith highly, but it was not often. She knew that Shux had not admitted to herself what her true feelings for this feien might be.
'Well, if you didn't harass her, I guess all is good.' Shux eyed Rislin for her behavior. She took the parcel and letter and retired to her room.

: biggrin ay 174 ~ 9 November::The night's trip was uneventful. Tobey and Vincent spent most of it playing video games. Valora stared out the window with all her feiens sleeping in random spots on her. Rislin chose her right shoulder, each of her limbs hanging over each side. Semella was squished in between Lori's leg and the seat, curled in a ball. Shux was hidden from sight in the inside pocket of Lori's coat.
Once arrived, the limo had stopped before a castle that looked as if it contained hundreds of room. It could have easily belonged to royalty.
'Ah, home sweet home.' Tobey yawned. ' 'Bout time too. Sunrise is only half an hour away.
The door was opened by a butler. 'Good morning, sirs. Lovely to have you return from your trip.
'Good to be home, Hector. Vincent said courteously as he stepped out of the limo.
'Whoa s**t. We're living here? Rislin squeaked from her spot on Lori's shoulder. Lori grabbed the belongings of her feiens as the other two took a spot on their bonded before she left the limo.
'Tobey! Where have you been? yelled a woman who appeared from the opposite side of the front door.
Tobey groaned as her voice traveled to them.
'This should be exciting. Vincent laughed as he helped Valora.
'Why didn't you tell me you were going on a trip? I've been worried. No one would tell me what you were doing. She bombarded Tobey like a mother hen. 'Oh, hi Vincent. she said with some distain. Her eyes laid upon Valora with a glare. 'Whom might this be?
Tobey gave the woman a smile and strolled over to Valora, putting his arm around her waist. 'This is Valora. She has come to live with us.
'Who authorized her? the woman grew jealous, standing with her hands on her hips.
'Lucian. Just before he left. Vincent answered in a tone which signaled the end of the matter. He took Valora by the hand and lead her inside.
Valora could hear the woman huff as they entered the castle. She didn't enjoy being used as a toy for Tobey to show off. But the shock of the new living situation had prevented her from commenting.
Vincent continued to lead the pack up to the third floor. He turned left and continued down the hall. The seventh door down on the left, the male stopped and opened the door. He stepped aside so that Lori could entered first. The room was overwhelming. Decorated in black, white and silver, curtains that hung from ceiling to floor. Walls covered in shelves containing trinkets and books of various types. A vanity table sat in the back most left corner with a large mirror and more jewelry Lori had owned in her entire life. A table sat in the center of the room space covered in a black cloth. On top held a single glass orb, swirling with clouds. The bed appeared fluffy and drowned in gigantic pillows.
'This will be your room. Vincent soon followed. 'I designed it myself.
'Mine? she whispered softly.
'Yes. My room is through the door on the left. Tobey's is across the hall from mine. He walked around the sat upon her bed.
'It's not that impressive. the woman muttered.
'Sophie! Out! barked Vincent.
'But..uh! Whatever Vincent. You're a ******** a*****e. she turned and stormed out of the room.
'And you're a nosy c**t. Vincent yelled back, raising his hand in which he used his power to slam the door shut.
'Finally she's gone. Tobey said relieved. He took a chair and rested his feet on a shelf.
But Vincent wasn�t done there. 'Next time she shows up, don't use Valora to scare her away. I don't appreciate you using her in that manner.
Tobey rolled his eyes. 'I wasn�t using her. I can�t help it if I like touching her. he tried to play it off as something else.
'Bullshit. What do you take me for? Just don't do it again. Vincent leaned back on his arms.
'Fine. Fine. I apologize Valora.
'Who was that woman? Shux interrupted. She grew interest in the inhabitants of the castle.
'Sophie Fisher. She's constantly hinting for me to ask her out. I'm beginning to think she fancies me. Tobey rocked back on his chair.
'Don't worry. She's harmless. True, she isn't the brightest of the bunch, but she wouldn't do anything to you. She perfectly well knows we will punish her if she does. Vincent spoke to Valora. He noticed she didn�t seem pleased to know Sophie's was to be a nuisance in her life.
'What about this Lucian character? Rislin added. The men appeared willing to answer a few questions at the moment.
'Lucian. He's the head of the coven. We went through Hayden to get Valora's acceptance approved. Hayden is on a trop with Lucian. He had much trust in Haden so it was easier to gain Lucian's blessing through him. And I also have close ties to Hayden, so� Vincent shrugged. He watched Valora explore her new room, hoping her reactions would be good.
'I think I want to go to bed. Valora spoke. Too much of a sensory overload made her head hurt a bit.
Tobey appeared to be disappointed, but Vincent stood up and walked to Lori's side. 'Sleep sweet Valora. We can spend more time chatting tonight. he softly kissed her on the corner of her face before heading to his own room.
Once the door closed. 'Well�I'll just be in my room if you need anything. he clapped his hands together and smiled.
'I'm sure I'll be fine. But thank you for the offer. she returned the smile and began to move the pillows off her bed.
'Right then. Night. he left the room.
'So what do you think? the vampire addressed her three feiens who were searching the room for possible spots to claim as their own.
'It is definitely you. But I am still debating if this was wise. Shux sat upon one of the pillows Valora had flung to the ground. 'This place does not seem suitable for our kind. It is also a bit far from the shop. We won't be able to travel there as easily.
'I don't know about that. Perhaps we could find a quick way for you three to get there. Valora thought. She never expected that she might be forced to move. 'I shall have a chat with Vincent about it later. There appears to be magic over here, so possibly there is a way for quick transportation. After all, Em had a portal thing. the vampire crawled into her bed which squished inward where ever she laid.
'I don't want to live here. I want to go home. Rislin grew upset over the thought of living at the manor. 'We have to suffer. Why?
Semella chose to stay quiet. She sat on a shelf and just peered around, soaking in the environment. Maybe after she gets the whole feel of the situation she will be able to make an competent complain about the situation.
'The house is destroyed now. Shux said in a tone to make Rislin realize there is no going back. She made a motion for the time feien to come sit with her. Rislin hesitated before flying to Shux and wrapping herself in the darkness feien's arms.
'We are stuck here for now. I'll see what I can do about possibly moving back home sometime in the future. Valora tiredly responded. Even thought she spent most of the night in a car, she felt drained and the thought of sleep seemed welcoming.
Valora curled a bit more in her comforter before resting her head upon a pillow, slowly drifting to sleep.
The feiens themselves were not tired as the spent the drive sleeping. Semella too flew from her spot to her two flat mates and spoke in a whisper. 'What are we going to do? As you said, Hisa, this doesn't seem to be suitable for our kind.
'Hmmm. Shux looked around the room. 'Perhaps we could leave a window open so that we could go in and out from.
'But it's three stories high. I really don't think I can do it. After last time� the memories of their trip out was still fresh in her mind and apparently her mouth as well since it began to smack a little.
'You need to get over that fear of heights. Rislin instructed the ancient. 'You're a feien. We fly from high places. What will you do if you decided to take a quest that required you to deal with that fear.
Semella cringed at the though. 'Who says that I will ever be brave enough to go on a quest?
'You probably don't have to accept it, if given one. But a quest would be interest. Shux gave her two cents as she thought about questing herself. 'Probably should speak with some of the others who have completed one previously. Do not want to be getting into far over my head.
Rislin rested her head upon Shux' shoulder. 'I think it would be marvelously. Adventures to random places and possibly getting a trinket of some sort. she sighed with a grin. It sounded much like the sort of thing she needed.
Semella picket at her nail unconsciously, thinking what dangerous things Rislin could be sent off to do.
'Mel, don't frown so much. Makes your horn all weird. Shux giggles and rested her head on Rislin's.

: biggrin ay 176 ~ 11 November::'Seven!' hissed the violet marked feien. 'Seven!' she pushed her way from under the comforter that was hanging from the bed. She knew this was were Shux had chosen as her new home: under Valora's bed. The comforter so large upon the kind size bed that it's ends touched the ground even after it had been propped up a foot and a half off the ground.
The darkness feien's belongings were kept in a corner, but she had plans to get doll house shelves to store them in. And since there was only space under the bed, Shux could plan an entire feien sized floor plan if she so wished, which was likely to happen.
'Seven.' Rislin continued to hiss. The feien she was looking for was asleep near the wall.
'What?!' she scolded tiredly.
'Jesus. Cranky this morning, aren't we?' Rislin smiled like an annoying child.
Shux glared. She never found this behavior amusing and she wasn’t about to start now. 'Are you going to explain yourself anytime soon?'
'Lori is out with Vincent and Tobey.'
'What does that possibly have to do with me?'
'Sophie just came in the room.'
'What?' the darkness feien scrambled from her makeshift bed to the edge and peaked her head from under the comforter Sure enough, Sophie was picking through the room as if looking for something specific. 'What is she doing?'
'Don;t know. Sem ran off to tell Lori about it as soon as she came in. I expect a cat fight of some sort. Should be hilarious.' The time feien put extra emphasis on each syllable of the last word spoken.
Shux gave Rislin a disappointed look. 'Why do you think that way?'
'Why not? Gives a bit of a punch to life.' her ebony eyes kept on the intruder's actions.
Sophie found the closet and began to pull out outfits, hanging them up in front of her and admiring herself.
'What the ******** are you doing in my room?!?!' yelled a voice from the door.
Sophie had jumped at least a foot in her spot and turned to face her accuser.
'Oh it's you. Just wanted to see what Vincent gave you. This use to be his study.' She spoke as if she had done nothing wrong.
'Get out of my room!' Lori stormed over to Sophie, grabbed the shirt and slapped her clear across her face. 'Leave now!'
Sophie's light blue eyes contained deep hatred as she recovered from the slap. The left side of her face began to show a hand-shaped red mark. You'll pay for that.' she threatened.
'You were in the wrong!' this woman was unbelievable to Valora. 'Stay out of my room and away from me. You have been nothing but rude and bitter since I showed up. I have no interest in having any sort of communication with you.'
Sophie only glared while Lori ranted at her. This new girl was in her way and she was determined to get rid of it. She made no attempted at a retort and chose to storm out of the room. But as she made to cross the threshold, she bumped shoulder with Tobey.
'Why am I not surprised to see you nosing around other people's belongings?' He turned and spoke to Valora. 'My first few months here I began to notice a few of my personal belongings missing.'
I did not take your boxers!' Sophie defended herself.
'Who said anything about boxers, disgusting girl?' Vincent entered, stepping directly in front of Sophie. He grabbed at her throat, his nails digging into it. 'You're stepping your bounds again, Soph. You know what happened last time.'
Sophie squealed quietly as Vincent's grasp tightened. Let go, Vincent. I won't do it again.' her claws attempted to pry off Vincent's fingers.
'I don't believe you. I've heard this plea before.' his expression was cold as he spoke in a menacing tone. A part of him enjoyed seeing Sophie struggle as with many of his victims. But she was most pleasing since she had been a thorn in his side from the first moment he joined the coven.
What do you what?' she gasped, although she did not need the air to survive, the pain became nearly unbearable as his nails began to pierce her skin.
'I'll think of something.' he threw her on the ground outside the door and slammed it in her face.
'Ah, Vince. I never tire of your treatment of Sophie.' Tobey patted him on the back.
Valora leaned against her bedpost. 'Thanks Vincent. Why is she so mental?'
'Who knows. I prefer to not think of her.' Tobey slinked around the room before pouncing on Valora, knocking her onto the bed.
Vincent rolled his eyes at the childish behavior, while both Lori and Tobey giggled.
'When are we able to travel quickly to and from the shop?' Rislin stood on the night table, hands on hips, staring at Vincent.
'We'll figure it out soon enough feien.' he spoke in a mellow tone.
'Rislin.' she demanded to be referred to by name,
'Sorry. Rislin. As you know, the house isn't feien suitable. Perhaps we could set up a portkey of some sort.' Vincent thought about the feien travels. The least upset the feiens were about living here, the more likely Valora was to stay. And after all, that was his main purpose.
'Portkey?' the time feien questioned. She hadn't heard of this device.
'It will allow you to travel by touching a specific object. The problem will be where to have you end up and getting you to return.' Believing this to be the best way of travel, the male racked his brain for people he knew who still lived near the shop.
'We could ask the McKay's if we could use their yard as a landing spot.' Shux spoke who had now taken a spot on the same night table as Rislin.
'Whom?' this surname was unknown to Vincent.
'It was a family I stayed with when I took a mini break.' she stated as if he should have know this information, although she had spoke very little of her trip to anyone.
'Possibly. We will take a trip to their home and ask for their cooperation.'
The darkness feien nodded in agreement and thought it would be pleasant to see the McKays once more.

: biggrin ay 180 ~ 15 November::'Vincent tells me that Lucian is suppose to return from his trip in the next few nights. I wonder if he will want to speak with me.' Valora paced her room as her three feiens were on top of the bed discussing over a sheet of paper.
'He probably will. I would expect any master of a manor to wish to know all the beings that live in his coven.' Shux responded keeping her eyes on the paper. 'No. No. That won't work. The pixa room should go here.' she pointed her finger in a specific area of the paper. Semella and herself continued their plans for their home.
'Are you sure you want to keep them with us under the bed. Maybe a place outside would do better.' Semella fussed as she scratched out a spot.
'What should I wear?' the female began to fret over the thought of meeting such an important person. Life as a human never gave her worries of having to please someone else in order to have a place to stay.
'Oh.' Rislin thought of one outfit she had seen in the cloud. Sophie had put her grubby paws on it when she was snaking about. There's a silver dress that I think will do fine. she flew from her spot over to the clothing. Floating before each one to judge if it was the one she was thinking of. When she believed she found the right one, the time feien pointed it out to her bond mate.
As Lori pulled the dress from it's place, it reviled itself as a two piece dress. The top consisted of a silver corset with white beads hand sewing in swirling patterns. The back was laced in black silk ribbons. The lower half was long enough to barely touch the ground.
'Why haven't I seen this in there before.' Lori held the dress up to her to compare how it might look.
'There's so many clothes in there, it would take you months to see them all.'

::: biggrin ay 183 ~ 18 November::'Are you ready?' Vincent stood from the doorway that connected his room to Valora's. He had gotten word that Lucian had returned which meant Hayden was home as well.
Valora sat on her bed, head hanging and very quiet. All her feiens waited as well upon her lap. They were eager to see Lucian, more than their own bondmate.
Vincent entered the room and took the spot next to Lori on her bed. 'Don't worry.' he brushed a strand of her lavender hair behind her ear. 'Lucian has retired to his room. He also has no intention of meeting you. I'm taking you see to see Hayden. He's just as nervous to see you as you are him.' He squeezed her shoulders gently in comfort.
'Hayden? Why would he wish to see me?' she was curious to why this meeting appeared more important when the subject was just a servant.
'You'll see. Just try to keep an open mind, eh?' The male took a step back to admire the subject before him. 'I thought that dress would look marvelous on you when I bought it.' he made a motion with his hand for her to twirl around so that he may see her from every angle.
Lori carefully picked her feiens from her lap and placed them on her bed. In mid move, Lori questioned Vincent. 'When did you buy all these clothes? Were you always expecting me to live here?' she stopped giving Vincent a curious face. It had been on her mind, but only now she thought was a proper time to ask it.
Vincent did not answer as Valora had hoped. This was not the moment in which he wanted to tell her everything. The corners of his mouth lightened as he thought of something to say. 'France. That's where I got it.' he looked at the clock on the nightstand. 'We're late. I don't want to keep Hayden waiting much longer.'
He grabbed at Lori's left hand and held it in his own. Her's was tiny in comparison, but fit perfectly despite it. He entwined his own coarse fingers in her long soft ones. Had this happened with Tobey or any other boy, Lori's heart may have skipped a beat. But with Vincent it was comforting. Almost like home.
'You didn't answer my question.' she state as Vincent began to lead her out of the room. The hallway was empty as it usually was with sconces every 15 feet lighting up the hall with it's lit candles.
'You never could let things go.' Vincent snerked. Reaching up at one of the sconces, the male tugged gently. A hidden stairwell appeared behind the wall that creped up.
'Oh!' Lori's free hand went to her mouth. 'I didn't know that was there.' She always enjoyed the idea of living in a home with hidden passageways.
Vincent smiled and squeezed her hand. 'Not many do. Quickly now.' he began climbing the stairs., still holding onto Valora's hand. The wall scrapped as it lowered it's entrance. Even though there was no light source, the two were able to climb without hassles. The opposite end lead to a tiny door which they had to squat through. But the door lead into a closet which was slightly cramped.
'Why couldn't we go in the normal way?' Lori whined. Had she known this, she would had worn something more suitable.
'Because this is the only entrance to this room. Hayden and I are the only ones who use it.' he opened the other door, which thankfully was human sized.
Lit with thousands of candles on a chandelier from the ceiling, the circular room appeared as if it could be located in a tower. Built in shelves filled with pictures, books, any kinck knack imaginable. A fireplace surrounded with chairs and couches upholstered in black velvet. Twenty paces away, a man stood facing the wall, looking at a framed picture.
Vincent cleared his throat, causing the male to turn his neck in their direction. His eyes were just like all vampires, baby blue. His hair messy and white as snow. His clothing contrasted with Vincent's suit. He was dressed much as a rocker. Loose pants, ripped shirt, pocket chains, steal toed boots. As he grinned it felt charming as if convincing you to trust him.
'Hayden, I bring you Valora. Lori, this is Hayden.' Vincent gave some introductions as Hayden approached.
Valora squeezed on Vincent's hand as Hayden reached at her hair. 'You look so much like her.' he spoke more to himself.
'Pardon?' was this why she was chosen? Because she reminded Hayden of someone? If this was true, then she was being used.
'Cassandra. The most beautiful woman I have ever known. I have not seen her since I was seven.' the grin faded quickly from his face as the memory of the woman filled his head.
'Wh..' Valora began but Vincent answered knowing her question, because he himself had asked it before.
'She was murdered.' his tone was sad at mentioning this.
'Oh. I'm sorry to hear that. How foolish of me to ask. I'm sure she was very important to you.' Valora spoke sympathetically. She felt stupid as her fist introduction had brought sadness.
Hayden nodded. 'She was important. Well, at least to you, me and Vincent.' He was leading to more information.
'Why me?' this confused her.
Vincent peered into Valora's eyes. 'Because she was our mother.'

: biggrin ay 186 ~ 21 November::'Who is that?' Rislin appeared on Valora's shoulder as she laid on her bed staring at a picture. A woman stared back from the black and white photo. Unlike normal pictures, this one's subject moved. This woman smiled and waved up at Valora.
'She's my mother. At least that is what I am told.' she was unsure of the information she had received that night with Vincent and Hayden. The concept of family was unknown in her memory.
'I thought you had no knowledge of your family.' Rislin thought the moving photo was odd, since it had not been something she was use to.
'I didn't. But apparently Vincent and Hayden are my brothers.'
'That explains a bit.' Shux sat on a pillow in the corner of the bed. 'Well, at least it gives motive for stalking you down and turning you into a vampire.' she returned to drawing on a blank piece of paper in front of her.
'What else did they tell you?' Rislin grew nosy for more information. Good rule of defending yourself against an enemy, know as much as you can about them.
'They were more interested in what I had been doing in my life. Still, the evening was a tad strange. Having family…I guess I should have known some was alive somewhere.' she touched the face of her mother in the picture. The woman had many features that were familiar, only because Valora had seen them on herself. The smile and mannerisms were the two that stood out most.
Semella rested next to Shux on the pillows. She had adjusted to living at the manor which was shown by her being asleep at the moment.
'Didn't you say you can't remember anything before age thirteen?' Shux called over her paper.
'Only bits and pieces while I sleep. But still, very hazy. I tried to ask about this, but they kept ignoring those questions. I was only able to get a little information. Basically our real names.' Valora set the pictures on the nightstand and crawled over to her other two feiens to see what Shux was drawing.
'Real names? Then how did you get yours?' Shux leaned over and dipped her quill into blue paint before continuing.
'Donno yet. But mine is Landra Kinx Wiksly. I actually like it. Vincent's is Damien Patrick and Hayden's is Kelly Strike.'
'Wiksly. That's not a common last name.' Rislin piped up from Lori's shoulder. The information wasn't too useful. Disappointing. No matter. The time feien walked along her bonded's spine. 'Still…did they like the dress?'
Lori nodded. 'Sometimes I wonder why you like clothes so much.'
'Self expression. Out markings may make us unique, but clothing is something we control.' she began running her tiny fingers through Lori's silky lavender hair. The feeling of hair, fabric, just about anything was pleasing to the time feien.
Lori sighed and rested her head on the bed. She grew bored of being in the manor, but when she would attempt to leave, either Vincent or Tobey would find out and accompany her. She suddenly felt sympathetic for what she has done to Shux by bringing Rislin and Semella into their lives.

: biggrin ay 189 ~ 24 November::Rislin paced the counter as she watched her bonded rest. Morning happened to be the normal time for her kind to begin their slumber. She and her flat mate could not adapt to the change, so they were forced to communicate with their bonded for only a few hours out of the day. The young feien kept a lot on her busy mind about what Valora had reveled to her and Shux a few days prior. She wished to seek out more information about this. If these two men were in fact her blood relatives, then they should know more about her past. Her mind was made but the execution of it was the challenge that she would be forced to face. This meant she would need to seek the help of her flat mates, which could be problematic. Perhaps if she used a different excuse…
Darting to the area under Lori's bed, the time feien knew this was where she would be able to find the two others she needed help from. Sure enough, Shux and Semella were still discussing plans for a possible one floor home for themselves to build.
'Should we plan more rooms? In case Valora brings home more feien or if one of us breeds?' Semella asked while her quill scribbled on the parchment. The plans were close to finished. The two had decided on a labyrinth style floor plan.
'Hmm..that would be likely to happen. Maybe two or three more.' Shux studied the plan for when those rooms could possibly fit. 'Hello, Rizzy. Something on your mind?'
'You can count a room out for me. I think I'll take up space in the grandfather clock. The rhythmic ticking is soothing.' Rislin made to sit next to her flat mates.
'Well for you, it should be.' Semella giggled.
'Actually, where are you going to get the materials to build this plan?'
'We figured we could ask Vincent for the materials. Why?' Shux grew suspicious as to why Rislin would be interested in their plan of she had decided to live in the grandfather clock.
'Let's go do it now. I'm bored. We don't have the same freedoms here.' Rislin sighed heavily attempting to play it off.
Shux eyed Rislin, but nodded. 'We could do it now, but it's more likely they are asleep.'
'That's not guaranteed. We should try anyway.' she pushed.
'I vote for waiting. They could be really upset if we accidentally wake them.' Semella added her opinion.
'Well, if you're going to be against me…' They won't stop her. If she had to do it on her own, so be it. The violet feien left her flat mates behind and headed to the door.
The hall was dark as the candle sconces were beginning to reach the end of their run. Left or right..Right leads to the main hall… the feien talked herself through her steps. The hall is down the staircase and to the right again. So quiet. Hopefully they won’t mind me wandering around. Last thing I need is to die now. Okay here it is.
'What are you doing?' a man spoke from behind the feien as she had barely touch the handle to the hall.
Rislin had jumped a foot at the scare the man gave her. She had not heard him come up from behind her. 'I'm looking for someone.'
The man reached around Rislin and opened the door for her. 'Care to reveal who? Perhaps I could aid you in your search.'
'Thank you. I am looking for the one named Hayden.' she gave a courteous nod and entered the hall.
'What do you need him for?' the man followed and took a seat in a small sitting area.
'I wish to get more information about my bonded.'
'Ah. So which are you? Shux, Semella or Rislin?'
'The latter. Are you going to point me in the direction of Hayden?' the time feien crossed her arms as she landed on the table in front of the man.
'I am who you seek. You may ask three question for now. Too much information for Lori would not be good for her.' he waved his hand in front of him which conjured a cup which he took a sip of.
Rislin began her pacing once more deciding which questions she should ask. 'My bonded tells me that you and Vincent are her brothers and that your mother is dead. What about your father?'
Hayden carefully place the cup in it's spot on the saucer and thought of what to say. 'Our father is dead as well.'
'Dead…how?' she asked her second question.
'He was murdered eight years ago.' he said this as if his murder was not important to him.
'So much death being done to others. Who would want to murder him?'
'Many would. He was evil and had great dreams to be an emperor, ruler, dictator. Whatever crazy plans were in his mind.' he set the saucer on the table which caused it to evaporate from view.
'Then who succeeded?' Rislin was eager to know more.
But Hayden raised a hand to the young feien. 'You have asked your questions. No more for tonight. Perhaps on another I will allow you to ask another three. Until then, I bid you farewell.' he stood and left the feien with her thoughts.

: biggrin ay 192 ~ 27 Novermber::;Ah! My order has been delivered.' Lori greeted her feiens as she entered her room. Held in her hand, a small box which Shux grew suspicious of.
'Why do I have the feeling these are more pets?' the darkness feien scowled at her bondmate as the box was set gently upon the bed.
'That would be because they are. Don't worry. I got more of them for Rislin since she's the one who enjoys them the most.' the vampire opened the box to which a pile of parapets rolled, jumped or flopped out onto the bed.
'Ah, more minions. Thanks Lori.' the time feien picked the blue Siamese mouse and scratched at her head.
'Minions? What are you planning on doing with them all?' Semella worried as she cuddled the blue dog that was her own.
'I would think they would become Elonas' minions.' Shux commented as she refused to acknowledge the new cult of pets.
'Elonas has been appointed Head General of my minions. He does very well at the job. He should have been my pet.' Rislin responded with slight annoyance.
'Take him. The loss of him as a pet is of no matter to me.' Shux honestly did not care about Elonas being under her ownership.
'He refuses. He says he enjoys annoying you more.'
'Typical.' Shux snorted.
'Well then. I'll bring them to meet the others.' Rislin gathered as many pets as she could before flying under the bed where the others were kept.
'You shouldn't speak so poorly about Elonas, Hisa. He's done nothing to you to deserve such treatment.' Semella scolded. Her words were true, Elonas for the most part had been kind cat but only rebelled when Shux was nasty to him.
Shux only shrugged. She did not believe Semella had more authority over just because she had lived before. But to say this would only cause the Ancient to be upset, and possibly drive her over the edge. Shux chose to take the scolding and smile through it.
Rislin had returned to gather a few more pixas. Noticing a small tension between the two, the juvenile smirked. 'Not fighting up here, are we? Over some little pixas too.' he chuckled to herself.
'We aren't fighting. I'm just informing Hisa that she shouldn't be so negative towards the pixas.' Crossing her arms, Semella explained her behavior.
Unamused, Shux rolled her scarlet eyes. 'If you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way then.' And with that, she left.
Raising an eyebrow, Rislin smirked once more. 'Well, well, Mel. I do believe you know how to push Seven's buttons.'

: biggrin ay 199 ~ 4 December::Once again, the three feien of Valora Riddle find themselves bored and anxious for adventure. Well, maybe not all three.
Semella sat upon Valora's bed as she slept holding Cloud in her arms, watching her two flat mates argue on the ground below. She never cared for them fighting each other (not that anyone would). But the more often they fought the more intense it would be against pointless things.
Rislin was stubborn in the fact that she was younger yet still treated as a child. Feeling it was time her flat mates understood this, she would continue risking adventuring in the manor alone. Naturally, Semella would warn her of this behavior since Vincent stated it might not be wise for them to do so. The ancient had become the first of the feiens to trust Vincent and Tobey's word. Perhaps for the reason their advice seemed to parallel with her own. Still, Semella could not per sway Rislin's need for freedom.
As a result, Shux had to take control of the matter. Being the eldest of the household (counting from Semella's rebirth) Semella turned to her for counsel. But even the darkness feien's words began to have less impact on her juvenile flat mate's behavior.
Rislin had found she could get answers on her own with the right contacts. She need to speak with Hayden once more. Getting more answers could make her bonded happy. But the again, why should she be so concerned with her human bonded's feeling? After all, here they were, up rooted from a lovely home where they could easily travel to and from the shop. Now magics had to be used to aid them, which meant they grew more dependent on the vampires around them. This realization scared the time feien. She had thought perhaps feiens were to work better with each other and possibly restore feien to their original state like she had heard rumors about.
But for today, Rislin had let Shux win the battle. She conceded with the intent of completing her mission of finding Hayden at the next available point.

There was a knock on the door but when it was answered there was only a small bundle and a note placed in plain sight: Quote: Rislin -
I recieved your gift and she is very cute. I have not decided what to name her yet but I am putting all of my efforts and thoughts into the task. Please pardon the lateness of this gift. My bond is a rather lazy woman and after much prodding she did go out and shop for me. I hope you had a brilliant, spiffing holiday. Perhaps we will see eachother soon.
Valsharess

: biggrin ay 213 ~ 18 December::'Mmm.' Shux happily chewed on a bit of strawberry. She and her feien flat mates had found the kitchens on their failed trip of finding Hayden. Since the Riddle family joined the manor, food was brought to Lori's room for the feiens to eat. 'Fruit is always the best. Soft, flavorful, sweet. I could eat fruit all day long.'
'Why does that not surprise me.' muttered Rislin from the opposite counter. She had been searching the cabinets for cereal. The feiens gladly accepted the change of scenery within the manor.
Semella sat along with Shux munching on a piece of melon. 'Speak clearly Rizzy. No one likes to be misunderstood.' the ancient shouted at the juvenile.
'I was speaking to myself. Thank you very much.' she spoke back like a child. Growing up couldn't come fast enough. Her behavior didn't match the treatment she wished to receive.
'Attitude Rizzy.' Shux continued to eat. Turning to Semella she began a new conversation. 'What has happened to her lately?'
'She's just young. Being cooped up in this place would drive anyone mental.' Semella sighed. But Shux had brought up a good point. This funk that the young feien had seemed to have gotten herself into had been staying for longer than expected.
'Perhaps pushing her out a window would help.' Whatever it was, Shux wanted an adjustment stat.
'She reminds me much of yourself when I first met you.'
'I had good reason. My personal space was being invaded.'
'Well, so is her if you consider the topics of your spats.'
Shux blinked. This conversation wasn't heading in the direction she had hoped. 'I got over it, didn't I?'
'Eventually. But you were holding onto it for quite a while.' Semella laughed. She had been with Shux for months now, and seeing the change in her had been welcoming. But seeing the disease of bitterness pass onto Rislin gave concern to the ancient as well as her darkness feien counterpart.
