Two days ago, she had received a letter, the simple fragrance of it telling her it was from Alice. Luckily, her hiatus would not have lasted as long as it had the last time, though, after everything that had happened in the last month, having two helping hands would make things much easier to bear. She would make this as much of a surprise as possible for her children though, a new start. Try to fix up the mistakes they had made (Things had jumped to pretty rocky. Silas was as calm as ever, but Moira seemed more likely to act up if anything. And Yoko.. was herself. Always away from the picture and doing her own thing in the background.
But yet, she had to bring Moira back to the house, saying that they were having a get together today, and going out to spend time. Trying to build it all as a surprise. She didn't know when Alice was coming by though, yet, it seemed right now get a meal started. Some lunch to be made. Things were getting back on track, life was going to get easier, and perhaps, she should start looking into private housing.

Silas toddled out of his room to investigate what the smell coming from the kitchen was. He peered around the entry way, and spotted Syth making lunch.
"Whu's tha' fer?" He asked, mouth naturally forming a frown. Despite the obvious cheery mood in the kitchen he still wasn't quite sure if the lunch was for everyone, or if it was just for Yoko. Something in his head said it was just for Yoko, but he wanted to hope that some of it was for him.. he was rather hungry after all.

Moira had gotten her mother's [Syth's] note about some strange get together, so she had spent most of the morning getting ready for not only that, but for the little 'dorm-welcoming' party that she had come up with a few days ago for Vic, Akito, Akira, and Yoo seeing as they were all moving into the dorms as well. More time with her friends couldn't be bad, right?
After her several-hour-long 'prep time' was done; having made herself a measly bowl of maple oatmeal and a banana for breakfast, taken a bath and dressed herself in a pair of skinny jeans, a green t-shirt with a tiger and the words 'man eater' on them, and her pair of rainbow-heart-covered converse (as well as her hair done up in a messy bun held up with a variety of pins and hair-things), the girl had made the walk to her Grandmothers home. Letting out a soft sigh when she got to the door, Moira opened said door and made her way inside.
"Momma?" She called out, having a quarter of a hope that she'd get some answer. She did get one, but not in words --- in a scent. The scent of cooking food. Moira made her way to the kitchen by memory, stopping several yards away from the entrance as she spotted her brother, Silas. Even though her nightmares had stopped, Moira was still frightened of her brother. Not wanting to let the fear get the best of her, she subconsciously brought her right hand up to the black guitar pick necklace that hung around he neck. Taking a moment or two before turning around and heading back to the door, feeling the need to sit outside to gather her thoughts.

Alice managed to find her way back to the mansion alright without the help of her mother. Kae had decided to check out the laboratory first and file away her research done from when she treated Lucian. She hoped to show it to her sister, but she highly doubted her sister was there. Alice, on the other hand, couldn't wait to see her family again.
As she walked up to the mansion she paused, taking in a deep breath, gazing upon it and moved to knock on the door.
"I wanna do eet, Mummy!" Lucian cried out with a smile as he held onto Alice's hand gently. Alice chuckled and nodded at him. He then balled up his other hand into a fist and banged on the door. "NANA!!!! MOMO!!!" he yelled out with a happy giggle. Lucian had been unnaturally excited for returning, as he he normally was very quiet and kept to himself. But something about seeing Nana and his siblings again made him more than jovial for the occasion. The two of them waited for a response first before they would decide whether to just walk inside or not.

Looking up when she heard the loud pounding on the door, the pink haired girl headed to the door, her thin frown still on her lips when she heard Lucian's voice, expecting him to be with Grandmother Kae. Opening the door, she did indeed see her brother but someone else, an ebony haired woman holding her brother. Staring at the woman with a very confused face, Moira said a statement that would hurt any parent;
"Who are you an' why are you holding Lucian?"

Silas looked away from Syth, no longer interested in the food. He thought he had heard Lucian, but then again, he hadn't ever really done anything with his brother, he only really knew him by appearance.
He moved away and down the hall to peer at the two people who had just entered the house. "Mummy?" The usual out-of-it look on his face disappeared as he laid eyes on her and Lucian. He looked to Momo, having heard her ask who Alice was. "It's Mummy, Momo. She's back."

Alice hesitated, the last thing she wanted to hear from her child's mouth was that they didn't even know who she was. "P-pumpkin,... I am your mother.." she spoke, her British accent beginning to surface again out of the situation. She walked in and frowned as Moira didn't seem to remember her, but then smiled a little when Silas corrected her and told her who she was. She let go of Lucian's hand to let him wander about the mansion with his siblings. "Where is Nana? And where is Yoko?" she asked the two other children, hoping they'd answer her without much question.
As soon as the door swung open, the smile wiped off his face, and Lucian's shyness suddenly took over. He hid behind Alice as they entered the mansion. After a moment of watching the situation, he walked up to Moira and hugged her. "I missed you, sissy!" he announced softly as he was happy to be remembered by his sister. "Did you give Yoko away yet?" he asked with a smile.
"Lucian!"
Lucian paused, looking to Alice to meet her stern face. He had forgotten in his excitement that Alice didn't liked when he talked of Yoko that way. She always taught him to be proper and to respect others, even despite how much he hated his other sister. He returned to smile at Moira then looked to Silas and waved at him. " 'Ello, Silas!!!"

Moira's face changed from confusion to anger in a matter of seconds that she found out the tall bat-winged woman was her Mommy. Narrowing her eyes, she let out a guttural growl, hands balling into fists as she started to shout. "YOU'RE A JERK! You, Grandma AND Uncle closet-case left Momma all alone with Me, Silas and Yoko! I HATE YOU!" Moira bellows out the feelings she's somehow managed to keep to papers and to a select handful of people in her life before storming off to what was once her room, slamming the door and sliding to the floor.
"Left us all alone.."

Silas stared at Lucian as he moved over to Moira and hugged her, almost as if they had never left at all. For a moment his face darkened. None of his family members seemed to care about him enough to give him a hug. But his face quickly lost that expression as Lucian greeted him. "Hi Luci." He replied almost dryly.
And then Moira had her outburst. He watched her, with an unusually calm expression on his face. He turned his eyes to Alice as she fled and shrugged his shoulders. "Momo is rait. Yuu only took Luci an' lef' me 'n Momo with Nana. She not so good at payin' 'tentions to me 'n Momo. We hadda start makin' 'r own fuds, but we not so good at it." He spoke calmly, perhaps too calmly for someone his age speaking of what was obviously neglect. "Yoko take up too much 'tentions, not enuf fer me 'n Momo."

She wanted to make sure the food would be fine to sit by itself for a bit. But, hearing the door get knocked on made her heart jump, the excitement that much more harder to bear. At least, it was excitement, until Moira had decided to explode on Alice. After the episode that had happened back during the Halloween Ball, it wasn't to surprising, though it was still unexcused. Yet, she stopped, letting things come to a simmer as she placed the lid over the pot.
Yet, seeing the sight of Alice in front of her, she picked up her speed. Moving in to fight her a tight hug, a kiss to follow that, before dragging her and Lucian inside.
'Don't worry too much about Moira right now. She's been a bit uppity lately' She could only comment, perhaps using the wrong word for her mood, but given some time, she'd settle down.
"Food's cooking, it should be ready in a bit. Ermm..." She pressed a finger against her head, trying to figure out what to say, "Deskri's helped a bit with Moira, Yoko's been doing better, and Sila's has finally decided to not keep to himself," She spoke, giving a quick update on their children. Yet though, it wouldn't be enough, as she ran her finger's along Sila's head. Yoko was nowhere to be seen around the living space, dining room, or kitchen.
"Silas," She couldn't help but speak, looking over at her son. Just wondering how long it'd take to fix everything, "Come here,"
----
A slam of the door was enough to knock Yoko from her late afternoon nap, the sleepy child pulling her head up from the pillow, pulling off a pile of blankets (Which unsurprisingly enough, also included Moira's bedsheet's). Mnejing stirring back into life, turning to look at the whispering girl.
"Momo?" Yoko spoke, a bit shocked. She had thought her sibling had decided to run off the last time. (Really, she never heard that Moira was moved off into a dorm room), "Is that really you?" She was shocked, moving off the bed in a hurry. Mnejing jumping up, helping Yoko down from the top bunk. Even if the girl was blind, she still liked to have a bit of excitement and daring tasks. And surprising enough, she moved up towards Momo, moving to give her a hug of all things. While she was a brat, she still missed Moira while she was gone. She had hardy anyone to pick on. (Silas was a tad scary) "Where were you? Is it scary out there?"

Alice was completely taken back by Moira's words. They struck deep into her heart as the small girl ran off into a bedroom down the hall. She stood there in total shock as she never expected to be greeted in such a way. She listened as Silas explained the reasoning behind Moira's outburst, as Alice was filled with guilt. Syth soon came into the room, hugging and kissing her. At that very moment, she pushed Syth back slightly and frowned, tears forming in her eyes. Rubbing her eyes, she choked back the feeling of crying, but wasn't strong enough to hold it back as she just burst into tears.
Lucian could only watch as the event unfolded. It wasn't long before everything was explained however. But that didn't seem to make anything better as his mother began to cry. He was filled with such a strong rage that he began to quickly trudge over to the door that Moira went through. He began to punch the door with all his might, burning the door as he did so. "THAT WASN'T NICE!!! SAY SORRY!!!!!" he screamed in a fit of rage, determined to bust down the door to make her apologize for making Alice cry.

"Yeah is' me." Moira said mope-ily as she brought her knees to her chest, though she was quite shocked when her normally rude sister hugged her, causing her to bite her lip and try not to cry. Big girls don't cry, no they don't cry at all. "Momma let me move to the dorms an' its not scary, as long as you has friends.." She says softly, a small smile coming to her lips as she grips the guitar pick necklace again, the only moment she's gotten from any of her friends.
"Mommy's back.. I yelled at her 'cause she left Momma here alone to take care of three of us.."

Silas watched as Syth sped past him, not at all reacting to Moira's outburst. As she began to speak, giving a quick update, he couldn't help but adopt a glare on his face. He had decided not to keep to himself? When was he given the choice?!
That's it baby doll, do you feel that? Do you see what they do to you?
He side glanced to the woman at his side, who was of course completely invisible to everyone else. It was the first time he'd heard her speak, and oh, it was so easy to just give in. All the while she was there for him, while his parents were off doing god knows what with each other or with his siblings.
Show them how you feel, hmm? Paint their world with your feelings. Just let it allll out. She rubbed his shoulders with her hands, leaning down a little to place a kiss just above one ear.
"No." He stated, staring at Syth with hard eyes. "Yu never nowtiss anythin'! I deedn't deside to come out heer, yu never even TRAID to do anythin' wif me, yu never check'ded on me, yu never even seen the pikturs I paint!" For once in his quiet life, Silas raised his voice, and it wasn't shaking with fear or anything for that matter. Without much warning a sort of toxic smell began to fill the air, causing anyone that got caught in it without a fresh breeze to feel a sudden shortness of breath.
The pounding on the door behind him got his attention next, he turned, red eyes focused on Lucian as he raised one hand, He pointed toward Lucian, thumb raised in the air and let loose several paint balls aimed directly at his brother.
That's it baby doll, show them how you feel.

Alice was crying, Moira had run off, Lucian was off trying to help out, and Silas... the kid was finally acting out. Of course thought, it had to be in a threatening manner, a hand raised over her mouth, shielding it from the digusting smell that seemed to have filled the air. Watching the paintballs fly out. Though, they were stopped, the colorful globs of paint left to hang in the hang, before she turned to eye Silas. She wouldn't stand for this, things were starting to fall apart before her eyes, and it was becoming slightly hard to take.
She grabbed Silas by his arm, dragging him up and into her clutch, daring not to spank him just yet. If she was able to quell down Moira, she could manage Silas hopefully.
"Alice, please take a seat," She responded, looking more than concerned for her love.
------
There was a small pause when she heard Lucian speak, biting her lip and looking at the door, "Go away!" She shouted at him, giving the door a small punch back, "Go away before you make someone else blind!"
Yes, she wasn't about to let that go, especially when he was beating on the door, as if he were about to hurt Moira, "This is the girl's room to! Creeper!"

Moira was growing more and more angered by the incessant pounding on the door, her eyes shut tight as she turns to yell at the door. "GO AWAY, LUCIAN! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH! YOU WERE WITH MOMMY AND ALWAYS GOT THE ATTENTIONS!" She yells, tears coming to her eyes but she did her best to not let them fall. This wasn't a time to break down into a sobbing mess, this was a time to fight back against the wrongs that had been committed in the mansion.
"I-it hurts..bein' left alone all th' time... thinkin' your Momma or Mommy doesn' love you.."
