Welcome to Gaia! ::

Krista stood in the living room, looking down at her clothes. She couldn't believe she let Lenore talk her into wearing one of her latest fashions. She pulled at her top alittle and shook her head before laughing "If Rionon saw me, he would have a heartattack." she looked at the skirt, sighing at the tattoo on her thigh.

Back in Barton Melantha was sitting in the park smoking a cig, Dressed in a off the shoulder realing black shirt and a pair of dark tight blue jeans, Midoshi hissed at her as the wind blew her hair around. "I know my sweet, soon, very soon, but right now mommy wants to have some of her own fun..." she pets the snake as she walks down the street heading towards the forest

"Kris!" Lenore calls from the door on the other side of the bridge connecting the DarkAngel wing to the rest of the manor. "The koi pond is calling our name! Can't you hear it!" she chuckles to herself, thinking of the little trick she has up her sleeve . . . figuritively speaking, of course. She has no sleeves today. It is too hot.

Meanwhile, waiting by the pond as instructed, is Rinon. His hands are clasped behind his back and his looking down at his shiney boots.

Krista looked back at the door before pulling her now back to normal blondish ornage hair into two ponytails. She opens the door pulling on the short pants leg. "Do I have to, Lenore you know I like hiding my legs..." she frowned at her friend. She leaned against the door jam looking at Lenore "Why do I have to wear this anyways, and what with you and the koi pond today?"

Melantha walked though the woods slowly, Her hair flowing behind her as she walked. Midoshi who was now wrapped lightly around her owners neck watches the forest for anyone who could bring harm to her or Melantha. Melantha laughs looking at Midoshi "Do not worry my pet, everything we'll be okay...were almost there..."

"I think you look hot," Lenore shrugs. "Kind of . . . country sex," she chuckles. "And, I am worried about the koi. I haven't been 'round to check on them lately," she bounces on her bare feet slightly, her short, puffy skirt bouncing with her. She holds out a scaled hand to her friend. "Come on. It'll be great."

Rinon leans againstthe big tree that casts shade around the pond. Effectively hiding himself from prying eyes from the manor.

Krista smiles taking her hand "Lenore only for you will I dress like this....." she laughs as she squeezes Lenore's hand lightly. She had to admit it did look good. She shrug maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all. She knew she was at her home, who would care what she wore around the house..

Melantha stops once the manor comes into view, she leans against the trees, hiding herself with the shadows. It seem everyone was inside. She frowns slightly "Aw the green hair vixen isn't outside today. And I had really hope to see her..." she slides down the tree and just sits there watching the manor for any signs of movement. Maybe if she was lucky she come across Tinania. She was always fun to talk to.

Lenore hurries them through the main house, and out the front door, putting her sunglasses on as she goes. "Well, I dressed in a similar top, to make you feel better," she says, grinning at her friend. "Too bad we aren't out stomping on hearts. These are the kinds of outfits that are good for that. Men and women would have their tongues hanging out of their mouths," she laughs. For the first time in a long time, she is actually happy, grinning and laughing, even twirling as the sun beats painfully on her sensitive skin. She is used to that, though, and because of the ring Eirnae gave her even before she gave her an engagement ring, she can take it. She won't burn into a pile of ashes.

Rinon looks up when he hears the music of laughter. He doesn't move from his spot, though.

Krista shakes her head laughing at Lenore, placing her hands on her bare waist she smirks "Yea your right, but I would rather have one man tongue hanging out." she fixes her ring as she steps down the stairs with her bare feet, she smiles feets the cool grass under her feet. She leifts her hands slowly above her head and laughs feeling like a child again. She followed after Lenore her two ponytails being picked up by the wind alittle as she walked towards the koi pond.

Melantha looks up when she hears the laughter, she smiles "Ah there she is....the green vixen. And my twin..." she growls deep in her throat Midoshi hisses and watches the people "Yes, yes I know, but so much I want to rip that twin of mine to pieces...."

"Maybe you can shimmy around in something like that on your wedding night," Lenore suggests as she hurries toward the koi pond. She takes a deep breath of air, taking in the familiar scents.

And one she is not used to. She mentally shrugs it off. The elves in the forest were always bringing new people to them. She is sure there is a small army in there to protect her, her family, and the manor.

RInon's ear twitches a little when he hears Krista's voice. He smiles, and quietly waits for them to arrive.

Krista blushes and laughs "Lenore your horrid sometimes you know that..." her cheeks still were flush as she reached the koi pond. She shook her head "Okay quit thinking like that Krista..." she mumbles to herself as she places one foot into the koi pond. She felt alive and happy as she watches the koi swim around.

Melantha smiles licking her bottom lip "Hmmm I wonder...." she stands moving closer towards the manor, still staying to the shadows. She watch their every movement, but mostly Lenore's.

"Yep. You'll think so in a minute," Lenore says, matter of factly. She moves a little away from Krista and puts her own bare feet in the cool water. She shivers a little, but likes the sensation nonetheless.

Rinon steps from behind the tree, thinking that that was his cue. His eyes widen a little when he sees what his fiance is wearing. He was going to greet her, but the only sound he makes is the sound of him clearing his throat.

Lenore grins wickedly, her shining, full crimson lips growing wide, her long canines flashing.

Krista stops moving and breathing, she knew that sound anywhere. She turned to glare at her best friend before turning fully. She looked at Rinon and this time her whole face turn red "Rinon...how long have you been there?" she looked back to Lenore then to the ground, she was so embrassed that at that point she wanted to run and hide.

Melantha laughed outloud at her twin. She was glad that was one thing she didn't share the same. She picked at a rose that was hidden under a brush. Glancing back up she pet Midoshi "You think she will like it?" she tosses it into the air letting the wind catch the rose.

The rose lands just a few inches from Lenore foot floating in the water.

Rinon seems to compose himself very gracefully in the face of Krista's embarassment. "My love, you look stunning this day, as usual," he says, not replying to her question. He offers her a smile, as Lenore giggles in the background.

Then, movement catches her eye. Her amber orbs move toward the rose, and her slitted pupils follow the movement. She bends at the waist to retrieve the rose from the pond. Smiling, she sniffs it. The floral scent is the most powerful, but her vampiric senses pick up on the unfamiliar smell from before.

She frowns a little and starts to pull the thorns from the rose. Once done, she tucks it behind her ear. "The rose bushes must be getting very weak," she says softly, turning and looking toward the direction the rose came from.

Krisa smiles although her face was still red "Why do I have this feeling I have been set up..." she looks to Lenore and mouths thank you before walking towards Rinon. She looks at him biting her bottom lip "I really do, I mean this isn't something I normally wear..." she runs her finger along his cheek lightly and smiles. She felt happy again and safe, even id she wanted to hide in Rinon arms because of the blush.

Melantha smiles her necklace catching the sun just alittle to dance in the shadows. She watches Lenore as she picks another rose, this one being white. Midoshi hisses and she nods "I know my friend, I shall be careful...." she tosses that rose into the air watching as the wind catches it.

The white rose lands on the water once again right near Lenore's foot.

Lenore smiles in reply to Krista's mouthed words of thanks.

Rinon smiles wider and caresses Krista's cheek in turn. "It suits you, in some odd way," he admits. "But, I might be bias. I believe that you would look like a queen, even if you were dressed in rags," he says, bringing one of her hands to his lips and kissing the knuckles.

Lenore rolls her eyes, but catches the glinting of something off in the woods. She takes time to pick up the second rose. She twirls it in two of her fingers, her brow furrowed again. "I think I might leave you two love birds alone. Before I throw up," she teases, giving them both a smile. "I'm going to go for a walk in the forest. . . ." with that, she starts slowly toward where the flash of metal caught her eye.

Krista blushes again and pokes Rinon lightly in the chest "Me in rage, no thank you, I'll wear nothing at all first before I wear rags..." she giggles and winks as she takes a sit on the ground. Placing both her feet in the koi pond, she looks up at Rinon "So you do like this, that good, I was alittle worried you wouldn't..." she glances at Lenore heads off towards the forest, she arches a brow wondering what got her attention.

Melantha smiles and looks to Midoshi who went quite "Oh Midoshi you expect me to not do anything?" she kisses the snake lightly on the top of her head before hiding in the bushes. She would wait, she didn't want to give herself away just yet.

"Why did you believe that?" Rinon asks Krista as he sits next to her.

Lenore picks up her pase until she has breached the outer trees and bushes. She stops, looking around for the source of the shine. . . .

Krista looks at Rinon and shrugs "This isn't something I normally wear. I mean I'm just trying this all out, Lenore believe I should look hott all the time." she lays down looking at him "I might start buying some of your sisters clothes. I will admit she got a great style." she runs her finger along his arm not trying to think about the images playing though her head.

Melantha smiles watching Lenore as she stands slowly "I must say you look very sexy in those clothes my green vixen..." she leans against the tree, her emerald green eyes looking Lenore over slowly.

"She has something," Rinon admits, smiling over at Krista. "Well, if you want to buy the clothes, I say go ahead. Just, don't let her make you go thinking that you need to wear a certian type of clothing all the time," he reaches over to poke her nose.

Lenore turns in the direction of the voice and her eyes widen a little. "You . . . How did you get here? You shouldn't be able to. . . ."

Krista wrinkles her nose smiling "I know, I figure I would add it into my clothes. I've missed you, sorry I haven't been around. I've been busy with work...." she leans up lightly pressing her lips against his. At that point she wanted nothing more then to be curled up next to him.

Melantha smiles "My dear vixen, I know the address if that what you mean. I've known it since I arrived in town. Couldn't you tell? I've been here almost everyday since I first saw you...." she takes a step towards Lenore, licking her blood red lips as she pushes some of her hair from her face.

Krista blushes then smiles "Its alright, I like your old fashion ways Rinon. Its just very hard to not want you when your sitting there..." she looks away hiding her face with her hair. "Did I really just say that, I've been hanging around Lenore way too much.."

Mel laughs alittle as she leans against the tree. She pulled her hair slowly out of its braid into it flowed down and around her face. "Yes I will admit I have a dark side to me..but that what made you come to me isn't it." her emerald green eyes flash as she takes a step towards Lenore "I can see how your looking at my lips, you want to kiss me...so do it..." she was inches from Lenore just smiling.

Krista giggles then nod moving over to lay her head in his lap "Yes I know, it will be worth the wait. Lenore wants to take me shopping for the wedding night, I'm kindof scared to tell you the truth..but I trust her, its one reason why I'll go..." she looks up at him running a finher along his chest.

Mel laughs shaking her head "I'm not doing a thing Lenore. I can see it in your eyes, your lonely, and you do find me attracrive..so why not make this easier for the both of us..." stepping forward once more she placing a long finger under her chin. Smiling she leans in pressing her deep red lips against Lenore's in a deep kiss.

Krista laughs shaking her head "No, unless she making the outfit herself, then you should be scared.." she winks before brushes her hair from her face.

Mel smiles licking her bottom lip again. She grabs Lenore chin again "And why can't I you did like the kiss, its why your not looking at me. Now just give into it, you know you want to..." she didn't give her a chance as her arm slinks around her waist and pulled her closer as she bite a her bottom lip before kissing her again only more passionate this time.

Krista smiles closing her eyes "Mmm its strange, when I marry you, she'll be my sister, yet for the longest time she always felt like my sister. Now it will just be final." she runs a finger along his inner thigh not even thinking about it.

Mel lifts her lips from Lenore, she smiles running a finger along her cheek "Was that really that bad?" she runs her finger along her elven ear then leans in kissing her lips again softly before reluctently letting her go.

Krista turns to look at him smiling but she sat up "Well with who our families are, we shouldn't even like each other. Yet she saw pass it, she saw pass that I'm a death eater." looking at him she smiles "Just like you, you dont care who I was, that one of the biggest reason why I love you." leaning in she kisses the edge of his lips then pulls away blushing.

Mel smiles before arching a brow, touching Lenore's bottom lip she shakes her head "I'm not out to get my niece Lenore. I'm really good friend with her. If anything I'm protecting her from someone within your on estate. And as far as my twin, I could care less. Right now my focus is you..." she kisses Lenore briefly before pulling away to lean back against the nearest tree.

Midoshi shakes her head keeping quiet, she didn't like this at all.

Blushing Krista pushes her hair from her face then smiles "Well I'm going to do everything I can to please you Rinon, you know that right?" she giggles then lays her head back down on his lap.

Mel tilts her head arching a brow "She hasn't told you, and I'm guessing you haven't seen the bruises on the fairy yet. Keep an eye on her when she around Ducan, that boy is bad." pushing off the tree she unclasp her neck then walks over to Lenore placing it around her neck "This necklace not much but its something important to me, so I want you to have it. Maybe you'll finally understand that I don't mean you harm..." she bows then turns she walks into the forest thinking.

Midoshi looks back at Lenore then back to Mel before back to Lenore. Did she miss something?

Giggling she smiles "You don't have to Rinon, just having you in my life is enough." She arches a brow watching Lenore then looked out at the forest "I wonder what got her in a strange mood." she kept looking a the forest as if she could see what got Lenore in her mood.

Melantha stop when Midoshi started hissing at her. Mel sighed looking at her "I'm not going to push myself at her Mid, I knwo how she feels, she'll come to me. Come out we need to head back to the lake Ducan out there. We need to stop him." she took off running though the forest, her cloak masking her from anyone who would normally see her.
