Escape

[Strega]

Damien pulled her back, "You need to feed."

[Midnight_Rain]

"Yes..but what happens..if I go Athena on you?" she asked her voice was now soft and like the wind and it held fear. Her learing gaze was on him. His blood thick in the air. She looked at him and still held back. "Will you stop me..if I am too much?" she asked him.

[Strega]

He nodded, "I promise."

[Midnight_Rain]

She leaned in. Her lips to his neck. Then she pulled back again. "I will only do this is you do something in return.." She wasn't going to be easy about this.

[Strega]

"What?" Damien looked at her as best he could.

[Midnight_Rain]

"If I do this you must kiss me." She whispered. "And you must stay away from me until my so-called-lover is defeated." She whispered to his neck. "Promise..me? And no more fighting with Aden.."

[Strega]

Damien stared at her, then nodded, "Fine...."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis leaned in and kissed him. She hoped he would kiss her back. "Kiss me.." she whispered to him softly. "I love you. Then..I will feed.." She hated the last part.

[Strega]

((Mornin'! *yawns slightly*))

Damien kissed her back, hating his agreement, but she needed food, and he didn't want to put up with a drunk vampire, that's just asking for trouble, plus Aden wouldn't even agree to it, so he was technically the only option.

[Midnight_Rain]

((Morning! *Is fully awake.*))

Alexis smiled and leaned in. "I enjoyed that." She whispered and bit down. She tried not to hurt him. She didn't want to do this. His blood, his sweet, sweet blood filled her mouth once more. She took it in little by little. She was trying to stay in control. Her eyes were a blood lust color.

[Strega]

Damien closed his eyes, "I love you....."

((You're a morning person aren't you? lol, I'm better now.))

[Midnight_Rain]

((*Blinks* Yeah! Well...sometimes. As long as no one gets me up at 7:00 I can manage. ^-^)

She whispered. "I love you...too."
Alexis stopped her self. "I think..I am done." She said wiping the blood from her lips. "I don't want too much." She said with a quick smile. "I might get an addiction to your blood..and well I don't want to become a half-angel killer." She backed off.

[Strega]

Damien nodded, "Right...." he wiped the small beads of blood of his neck to show perfect, flawless skin. He smiled at Alexis, "See? You didn't hurt me."
Aden walked past the two, "Going for a walk."
"Okay. Watch out." Damien warned.
"Of what?"
"You know what."
"Whatever." he left.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis smiled. "I just feel all strange." She said as her headache then in tensed. "Okay..you need to leave.." She whispered. She hated this..but she wouldn't hurt him. She would kill herself if this happened She wouldn't drink any blood..if he got hurt. She wouldn't stand herself. "I need to be alone." She said quietly.

[Strega]

"Nkay." Damien nodded, leaving the room, going into the kitchen. He leaned on the counter.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis laid down on the couch. She closed her eyes. She reached over and grabbed the glass of water from the counter. She took little sips. "I just want some chicken noodle soup..like a normal girl would need." She whispered to herself. Then she heard it in her head. It was his voice. She tried to block out them.

"Alexis..my dear..you and your little angel..will pay..I am going to make you suffer then kill you, I will make you pay!"

She put the pillow over her head. She then screamed into it, what could you expect..she still what you could consider a teenager. She then stopped screaming. "I hate you!" She said into the pillow.
A flash of Damien's dead body, beaten up, blood everywhere. And she was against the wall, she couldn't move. Her eyes were open, tears slid down her cheeks. Rage in her eyes, and also sadness. "Damien.." She lipped. No noise could be heard. It was all silent..then..Aric..killed her.

Aric laughed and sent the images to Damien's mind. Only this time it was the other way around.
Alexis's body was thrown to the floor. She was covered in blood and she could hear death in her ears, it rang and wouldn't stop. She had her eyes open and was looking a Damien at the wall. Tears slid down her cheeks.

[Strega]

Damien stumbled backwards, "Wha?!" he shuddered, "No...." he peeked into the living room, and closed his eyes, 'She's still there... ADEN!!!!' Damien ran into the living room, trying to find his other sneaker.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis was crying now. "You won't do that!" She said into the pillow.
'Alexis, I can and I will if you don't kill him..'

"I could never do that! I love him..with all my heart.."

'Just like you love me...right Lexy?'

"Your not allowed to call me that!"

*Laughs*

"Stop it!"

Then the voice stopped. She didn't realize she was breathing so hard. She turned over. She tried to stand, Her legs felt like jello..she had only been on the couch a few minutes hadn't she? She looked at the clock. The house was slient..like in her deadly nightmare. She could hear the clock tick-tock. She tried to walk now. Then she felt a cold chill on the back of her neck.
It was a cold breath..
She turned to find nothing. She was shaking.

((This is after Damien leaves.))

[Strega]

"Alexis?" Sora poked her head in, "Are you okay?"

"Aden!!!" Damien was searching town, 'If Aric touches him.....' he growled in his head.

[Midnight_Rain]

Aric walked the streets. His hair down in his face. He didn't look like himself at all. He saw the boy that was with Alexis and Damien. His form was diffrent. "Nice..to meet you ..um I am traveling in this city and looking for the nearest hotel..can you show me where it is?" He asked him. His voice was even diffrent..yet his eyes..they were forever the same.

Alexis jumped when she heard Sora. "Yeah..just a little jumpy." She sighed.

[Strega]

"... Want some soup? It'll help calm your nerves." Sora smiled.

Aden looked at him, "Huh? Oh. Sure. Most of the ones around here are crappy, though...."

Damien stopped after a few minutes, 'Grrr.... It's impossible to find my own cousin on these streets....'

[Midnight_Rain]

The streets were dark..from the night.
"Well..can you show me the better hotel..then..?" He blinked. His eyes turned away from him.

Alexis smiled. "I would love some soup!" She laughed. Her voice was still tense from the hellish vision.

[Strega]

"Wanna help make it? My aunt never does canned soup so we kind of have to start from scratch." Sora started walking to the kitchen.

Aden started walking, "Where'd you come from?"

[Midnight_Rain]

"I came from Chicago.." He said following. "Have you lived here your whole life?" He asked normally.

Alexis laughed. "I would love to help."

[Strega]

"Kewl." Sora nodded, pulling out chicken from the freezer.

"..." Aden weighed his answer, "Sorta. If you consider being a lab mouse for a few years living here."

[Midnight_Rain]

"What do you mean by lab..mouse?" He asked prying.. "Were you a scientist?"

Alexis smiled, she washed her hands. She noticed she probably looked like a mud puddle with blood on her skin. "I will be back..I am going to go clean up." She walked up the stairs and into the bathroom and started to wash away the dirt and blood.

[Strega]

"Ha! I wish!" Aden rolled his eyes, "No, Damien was the scientist, I was the lab mouse they experimented on, along with several others. Didn't you hear about the break out?"

Sora nodded, thawing the chicken by simply looking at it.

[Midnight_Rain]

Aric shook his head. "No..I didn't I don't get out much..I'm much to busy..with my work." He said almost coughing when he heard the name Damien.

Alexis came back down looking a little better than she did. "Hey that was fast.." She said looking at the chicken.

[Strega]

"Don't think Damien and Aden get all the fun." Sora smiled at Alexis, "I get some power too."

"Actually, his girlfriend was one of the few who doesn't hate him..." Aden sighed, "Any way, Mike's is probably the best hotel here." he pointed to a building, "Need anything else?"

[Midnight_Rain]

Aric smiled and shook his hand. It was all a trap. "Really?" He held his hand tight around his and then a dark mist came in around them and they were gone.
Aric let his hand go and Aden was in a cell, "Looks like your now my bait.." He laughed and closed his eyes. His appearance normal now. "Welcome to my hell Aden."

Alexis smiled. "What else can you do?" She asked as she got out some flouwer and started to make some dough.

[Strega]

Sora shrugged, "I don't know. I never got to experiment much... I have a really bad feeling though..."

Aden was startled, "What the..." Aden now felt like a moron. The feeling of being trapped creeped over him. Hate surfaced in his features.

[Midnight_Rain]

"You fell for it..and as soon as Lexy's little angel comes and tries to save you..I will go out and kill Lexy..and I will take care of your sister in the process."

Alexis looked down. "I know..I was sent a vision..I hated it..he is trying to kill..-"

[Strega]

"The boys can protect themselves, but Aden's... a little too trusting..." Sora sighed, starting to cook the chicken.

Aden stared at Aric, "Don't touch Sora...."

[Midnight_Rain]

Aric laughed. "I will make her pay..I will make you all pay! Alexis was mine! Not yours." He said making her sound like an object.

Alexis looked down. "I know I am just scared...for the both of them..you see I love you all. I feel like you are my family..I want to protect my family.."

[Strega]

"Protection is a man's job. Just cook and forget about it. If anything, we're more dangerous then the boys because we don't know how to control our powers...." Sora turned the stereo on.

Aden tried to jump at Aric, the bars in the way, his hand inches from Aric's throat, "I will kill you."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis laughed. "That may be true.."

Aric laughed. "Anytime..your scent should disapear.."

[Strega]

Sora smiled, but winced, "Aden just ran into something..."

Damien realized he couldn't smell even Aden's scent, "No..."

Aden bit his lip, a picture of Sora hurt flashing into his head.

[Midnight_Rain]

Aric paced the walls of the little hideout. "He's coming..I hope you have a happy time!" He laughed and then was gone.
Something was pulling Alexis away from Sora in her mind. The cold chills started again and breathed down her back. She didn't want to move. "Sora..he's calling me.."
Then her eyes went black. She fell in pain. The black whip appeared around her neck.
He came from the shadows. That was how he traveled. The darkness his friend. "Hello..Alexis..Sora.." He said as he held Alexis to his chest. She was looking at Sora. "Sora.." she whispered. The whip tightened it's grip. The thorns on the whip dug into her skin, her porcelains skin. She couldn't move she felt paralyzed. 'Damien..' she thought in her mind. 'help me.'

Aric put a hand up to Alexis's lips. "Don't say a word." He then put a hand up in a fist and Sora moved through the air hitting the wall. The smell of the chicken tainting the air. "Sora..it's a pleasure meeting you." He finished.

[Strega]

Sora felt the impact and groaned, "Leave Alexis alone!" fire sprouted from her hands, licking her arms, "Huh?" she stared at them, realizing it wasn't hurting her.

Aden closed his eyes, 'Damien! Go back to the house! I'm fine!'

Damien stopped, hearing Alexis's and Aden voices, "Right!" he took off running.

[Midnight_Rain]

Aric smiled. "I guess you are weak..you don't know anything.." He laughed at Sora with amuzement. "I will kill you slowly...and I will make you suffer." In his hand a dark flame came to him. "I am one with the darkness I am the darkness!"
Alexis trembled in his grasp. Then before she knew it. She felt the thorns get to deep. It slowly drained her of her blood. What was this?!
Aric laughed as he noticed Alexis's confusement. "This is my blood whip, I will fully drain you..here and now!"

[Strega]

Damien hurried, trying to get back fast.

"Try me!" Sora stood. Aden had always tried to keep her calm, but anger was hard to ignore, and the fire was just a plus.

[Midnight_Rain]

((G2g reply back in a little while.))

[Strega]

((Kays. Laters.))

[Midnight_Rain]

Aric laughed. He closed his eyes. A dark-like bubble came around him. "You may be strong..but let's test that strength..can you break..my barrior?"

[Strega]

'I have to at least try to stall... For Damien's sake...' Sora let out a breath shakily, the fire turning a black-green. She threw it at him, denting his 'sheild', "AW! Screw this!" she closed her eyes, a slight blue aura surrounding her, "My demon, my protector, I've served my time, now keep your promise, COME TO ME!"

Aden looked up, "Sora...." he disappeared and reappeared in front of Sora.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis felt the whip dig into his neck. This was really painful. "Stop it!" She screamed choked.
Her body was on the floor and everywhere.
"you are mine." Aric laughed.

[Strega]

"I have a question, Aric, who do you want to hurt more, her or Damien, because he's on his way, and if she's dead, you have nothing to threaten him with, he's goes psycho and kills you, you lose, but you keep her alive, work a little magic, kill him and keep her." Aden held Sora protectively. She was limp in his arms.

[Midnight_Rain]

Aric smiled. "Don't worry..she will just slowly..suffer.." His eyes were filled with a fire growing rage. The flames consumed him in their grasp. "I won't kill her completely. She won't die so easy. Remember..she has angel..blood." He looked down at her.

Her eyes closed and trying to slap him. She was also trying to kick him..and she was in a bind.

[Strega]

"... Have you ever tasted that blood Aric." Aden's eyes held greed in them, "It's actually quite good."

((Remember he's more demon then angel, so his is considered tainted.))

[Midnight_Rain]

((got it.)

Aric laughed licking the side of Alexis's neck. "Well..I think it's too..light." He said. "What is your plan...Aden..are you going to try and stop me?" He smiled. "I don't think you..can..save..anyone..not Sora...not Damien..not Alexis..I think you can't even save yourself..how pitiful."

Alexis winced in pain.

[Strega]

"No, I don't plan on saving anyone." Aden gently set Sora down, "She died summoning me. I have nothing left. Damien doesn't care about me. He's an angel, I'm a demon, the black sheep of the family if you wish." blood slid down from the corner of his eye. He wiped it away.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis's listened. "I..I..care.." She tried to speak. "I..am..your..family." Her words were again choked by the whip. "Please..Sora..awaken!" She said as a bright light came then.
Alexis was on the floor her hair in her face. The whip still around her neck, yet she was away from Aric..she tried to move her body and found herself usless. A light shimmered into the air and it hit Sora with force. Aric stepped back
"What is this?!"

Alexis tried to breathe. "It's...my..blood." She smiled.

[Strega]

Aden growled, "Don't lie to me!"

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis cried softly. "I do care! I've always cared! You are..like a brother to me as well ADEN!" She then fainted. Her body limp. She wasn't dead just lost too much blood.

Aric growled. "That..blood running in her veins..it has done something has it not?"

[Strega]

"It's not pure enough to save...." Aden sat down next to Sora, stroking her hair, "It hurts.... To lose her..." more blood tears slipped down.

[Midnight_Rain]

Aric looked away. "I have used to much of my strength..you are lucky." The whip left Alexis's neck and he backed off. "One day I will have my revenge..watch your back..and watch..your friend's too." He warned and he was gone. Leaving the body of Sora. Alexis was still unconscious her blood spilled everywhere. Yet when you looked at her face tears were spilt as if her eyes were awake. She was crying her body knew about Sora. She was feeling the most tragic pain anyone could feel. She her body knew she had lost one of her family members..and she wouldn't allow this to happen again.

[Strega]

Aden disappeared in a shroud of blood-red.
Damien ran into a few demons, "C'mon, I got a dying girlfriend, a possibly dead cousin, and a psycho cousin in a cage, could this wait?!" he yelled wait as he was attacked, "Nope, geuss not!"

[Midnight_Rain]

"........."

[Strega]

((lol, stalling for dramatic effect ^.^))

Damien grumbled a banishing spell and continued to run.

[Midnight_Rain]

((M'kay..but Alexis is out cold and..who knows..where Aric..went.))

[Strega]

((Don't tell me he's hunting Damien down. -_-'))

Damien tripped falling on his face, shattering his glasses. He winced, "Ow..."

[Midnight_Rain]

(No...)) ))

[Strega]

((Good.))

Damien stood up and took off again, soon getting to the house.

Aden reappeared in an alley.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis laid on the floor.

[Strega]

((lol))

Damien stared, then ran to her, "Whoa, she's freezing...." he saw Sora and shook his head, "Close to death.... How the heck can I hellp....?"

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis's opened her eyes. Her body shimmered in the pure light. "Damien.." She whispered. Her body was bathed in her own blood. Her hair a tangled reck. "I..fought..and lost..I..hate...myself."

[Strega]

"No, don't say that.... Please don't...." Damien gingerly held her in his arms, "Do your Athena thing and attack me.... Something...."

[Midnight_Rain]

She shook her head. "She's gone..I love..you." She whispered taking shattered breaths. "I..won't die..I will keep on fighting forever."

[Strega]

"Alexis...." Damien stared at her helplessly.

[Midnight_Rain]

"Try..and go..help..Sora..please." Tears were in her eyes. "I don't want her to die." She said her voice sounding ripped. "I..need you to."

[Strega]

Damien nodded, "If you say so."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis laid there watching him. Her eyes in tears. Her heart beating fast. "I..love ..my family."

[Strega]

"Sora, what'd you do that could do this much damage...?" Damien blinked.
Sora gave no response.

[Midnight_Rain]

"She..needs to be healed.." Alexis tried to speak but her voice was a mear whisper. "Use..your powers..it's in your..blood..I've had a taste."

[Strega]

Damien bit his lip, "Right...." he closed his eyes, and mumbled a chant under his breath, 'This might accidently bring Athena back.... I hate side effects....'

[Midnight_Rain]

((Lol you want Athena?))

Alexis closed her eyes.

[Strega]

((She's freakin' awsome, lol.))

Damien lightly put pressure on Sora's stomach. Sora started to breath shallowly, "There... She's just sleeping....."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis was then no long Alexis. Her eyes opened to revel the purple color. She stood her body drinched in blood. She growled at Damien. "You!" She then went into a running movement and was then behind him. She whispered in his ear. "I'm back.." Her hot breath hit his neck. "Let's..play..a while longer."

((Let's just say it's her 'other' self. Lol. Have fun fighting back against her.))

[Strega]

((lol, w00t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!))

Damien froze, his heart skipping a beat.

[Midnight_Rain]

((Lol I didn't know you liked her..I just thought of her to past time.))

Athena jumped over him and then she put her foot to his chest, causing him to hit the floor. She had her foot on him. She then let it off. She leaned down. "Let..me finish what I started." She whispered into his ear. "And..I won't let that foolish girl Alexis..interrupt."

[Strega]

Damien=zero energy after life tranfer. Brain comprehension=.5 Reflexes=-54743767, "Wha?" he blinked.

[Midnight_Rain]

She looked at him. "What is your name again?" She asked whispering in his ear. She bent down to his neck her fangs growing. This time her hair changed to a sudden black and she looked like this: http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i261/tiki1991/Ceres.jpg
"I am the goddess of blood..who are you? And why did you call?"

[Strega]

"Damien. The Underworld's Angel... Did I call? I don't remember..." he tried to move.

[Midnight_Rain]

She held him down. "Well..looks like I'm here anyway." She smiled. "Nice to meet you..I have 2 names..Ceres..or Athena..whichever one you choose I don't care." She then striked she bit down into his neck hard. The blood rushing into her. Her eyes glowing the red.

[Strega]

"Guh...." he gripped the back of her shirt, "Ow...."

[Midnight_Rain]

She let him go. She stood. Her form still that of Athena. "Do..you wish to know why I have taken the form of your..lover?" She asked a slight smile on her red lips. Her black hair swaying. "I..am your lover's rencarnation..I have taken control..of her. I will not rest until..one man is destroyed..I..have an addiction to..your blood and I don't know why? Can you tell me this?"

[Strega]

"I can't think..." he shook his head.

[Midnight_Rain]

She looked at him. "Then I will just kill you..I have no use of you..except your blood." Then she felt something in her heart pulse. She couldn't move and felt frozen. What is this!? She fell to her knees. "What..did you do!?" She yelled at him. "Why, am I feeling..this pain..in my chest!?" She held her head.

[Strega]

((I'm shortening what's-his-face's name to Sdna, kay?))

"Dear, dear Athena, I'm weak and here we are in this position again..." Sdna stroked her hair.

[Midnight_Rain]

((Kay.))

Athena's eyes grew wide. "Why..are you here?!" She asked trying to move. Her eyes were almost in tears as the heart-skipping pain increased. "Stop..don't..touch..me." She said whispering to him. "We, were..fated to never meet again." She said to him. Her eyes closing as the tears rushed down her pale cheeks. "your not suppose to exsist..You..are suppose...to only..be a memory..Why have you taken..this ..form?"

[Strega]

"The boy wouldn't have survived without help, they sent me to him to help." he winced, "Ah, that hurts......"

[Midnight_Rain]

((This is very..twistful! ^^))

Athena looked down "Did..I take too much of your..blood?" She asked still crying. "I just..didn't trust..him." She said referring to Damien. "This girl..I taken the form..of..has..feelings for him."

[Strega]

"No, he wasted his energy on the demon girl." Sdna gently touched Athena's cheek, "I've missed you..."

((lol ^.^!))

[Midnight_Rain]

((Hehe! ^^ It's sooo cute!))

Athena closed her eyes at his touch. "I've..missed you like the night misses the stars.." She whispered to him. "I've missed you like the sun misses the light." She said touching his hand. "I..need you.."

[Strega]

Sdna nodded, "But, where's Nada?"

((Guess who. Come on. Guess.*hinthint*in alley*hinthint*))

[Midnight_Rain]

She closed her purple orbs again. "He's around..but..his soul..is draining..something troubling him." She opened her eyes. "We must find..him." She looked down. "Guess I won't be very normal looking..but that's life..I am a goddess after all..and you are my angel.." She smiled and took his hand. "Come."
Flames consumed them and they were soon by Nada.
"Nada?" Athena asked him. Her eyes looking straight into his. "Why, do you look..so..different?" Her eyes went back to Sdna. "What is going on?"

[Strega]

"He's his cousin." Sdna said.
There was a light, and a grey haired teen with blood red eyes looked up, "And you want what from me?"

[Strega]

"He's his cousin." Sdna said.
There was a light, and a grey haired teen with blood red eyes looked up, "And you want what from me?"

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena nodded. "I think I've figured that much out." She said looking away. "Why..does this body resist..me?" She asked. She closed her eyes hoping the pain would stop. "Your name is..Aden..am I not correct?" She asked her voice drifting off almost like Alexis's. "Then..let..yourself be shown..Nada.." She whispered.

[Strega]

((Uh, white headed teen be Nada.))

"Athena, Sdna. Why are you here?" he hissed.
"What's wrong with you?" Sdna asked.
"His emotions. They're out of control..."

[Midnight_Rain]

((sorry..:')))


Athena took a step back. "Do..you not wish..to remember us fully?" Her heart raged in pain. "Ah." She said closing her eyes. "Damn it!" She screamed slaming her fist into a wall. She then calmed herself. She took her postion by Sdna. "I..can't control her." She said looking down.

[Strega]

"No, my head, my heart, my eyes, my wings, it all hurts..." Nada looked at the ground, "This mere child has more hate then most..."
"... Damien's fault..." Sdna held up a finger.

[Midnight_Rain]

"How so?" She asked her voice a little weak.
"This girl..is powerful..yet she doesn't know how much..and the blood coursing through...your veins..Sdna..is not normal..From my research of this girl's mind..you have just..about lost..your sister..Nada.." She said whispering. "And that took too much strength to find out..This girl's mind..is diffrent from the others.."

[Strega]

"Don't waste your energy, Athena. He's mad at those two, so get yourselves out of here and let them take over." Nada waved a hand.

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena looked down. "I..can't..it's hard enough to see you guys.." She looked down. Her raven black hair whiping in the wind.

[Strega]

"It can wait, Athena. We have all the time in the world now." Sdna lifted her chin with his finger.
"Get a room." Nada rolled his eyes.

[Midnight_Rain]

((That's funny..when they are normal..Aden..or Nada ..have the same personality..))

Athena nodded and smiled. Her cherry lips straighting. "I will turn..back..but..wait..for me." She whispered to him. Her form..turning back to Alexis. She had colorless eyes. She looked at Sdna. And then her world fell and she fainted.

((I don't know where we are going with this..but I think it's interesting.))

[Strega]

Sdna supported her and flew her back to the house before letting Damien reign control. Damien set her down, then collapsed on the floor.

Aden stood shakily, "Ow, ow, ow..."

((lol, I wanted his personality to stay. I love it! ^.^))

[Midnight_Rain]

((lol!))

Alexis rested with her head on Damien's chest. She awoke with the most horrible headache first. She saw Damien. She covered his body with a blanket and laid by him watching him.

[Strega]

Sora was up and moving, "Agh, the chicken burnt last night.... I didn't know you could burn chicken......"
"She doesn't remeber..." Damien whispered.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis nodded. Her eyes flashing to the purple and then back. She laughed. "Yeah..it's possible.." She said to Sora. "Should I tell her?" She whispered to Damien.

[Strega]

He shook his head.
"Anyway, you guys were out cold when I woke up, so I hope you don't mind waffles and sausage." Sora smiled at the two.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis nodded. "That's fine...where's Aden?" She asked trying to play along. She stood and took a deep breath. Every point in her body hurt. She sighed. "Well..um good morning..?" She smiled looking at the clock.

((And night!))

[Strega]

"Morning! Aden's always running off. Don't worry!" Sora danced around the kitchen.

((Night!))

[Midnight_Rain]

((Last post and Sora..reminds me of an Alice.))

Alexis laughed. "You seem happy?...How come?" She asked watching her dance.

[Strega]

"I had the most wonderful dream!" Sora smiled, giggling a little.

((lol))

[Midnight_Rain]

"Ohh..really now?" She asked sounding amuzed.

[Strega]

"Yes, I was dancing with a lovely stranger..." she closed her eyes smiling.

[Midnight_Rain]

"And what did this lovely stranger look like?" She asked smiling.

[Strega]

"Silver hair, the most beautiful red eyes...." Sora sighed happily.

((lol, more twists and turns in this crooked little tale ^.^))

[Midnight_Rain]

((Lol that's alright!))

She thought a moment.
"Really..that's wonderful." Her eyes flashed to the purple again.

She looked at Damien. And whispered. "What..does this mean?" She asked him.

"He sounds enchanting.." She laughed to Sora.

[Strega]

Sora went back to cooking.
Damien watched her wearily, "If he knows she's alive... Aden... Gawd, where is he?"

[Midnight_Rain]

"I don't know..my minds a little fuzzy.." She said putting a hand to her head and rubbing one of her temples.

[Strega]

Damien watched his cousin wearily, "I can't lose both of them..... I can't lose you..."

[Midnight_Rain]

She smiled. She put a hand to his cheek. "Listen..you won't loose me..or anyone..I promise." She noticed her bite marks. "Are you..hurting?" She asked looking at them.

[Strega]

He shook his head, "I'm fine."

[Midnight_Rain]

"Are you sure?" She asked putting a finger to the bite marks.

[Strega]

He nodded, smiling, "I'm fine."
"Breakfast." Sora sang.

[Midnight_Rain]

She nodded and went and sat by the table. "I'll bet it's good."

[Strega]

"I hope so, I haven't made waffles in a long time. Damien come sit down and eat..." Sora frowned.
"I'm gonna go find Aden. I'll be back." Damien said walking out the door.
"Partypooper....."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis sighed. She began to eat. Colors went through her eyes. "This is very good!" She praised. "I love it!"

[Strega]

"Hehe, thanks!" Sora smiled.

Damien searched for Aden, "Come on..... ADEN!!!!!"

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis smiled. She sighed looking down. She played with the food and then began to eat it little by little.

[Strega]

Sora ate.

"What do you want?!" Aden snapped.
"Come home...." Damien frowned.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis finished. "I am heading up stairs...kay?" She mumbled putting her plate in the dishwasher. "And..where is Damien's sis at...is she still at work?" She raised an eyebrow.."This is strange.."

[Strega]

"She's probably hanging out at a club. She's never home..." Sora shrugged.

Aden glared, quickly switching to Nada, "Sdna, come out."
Sdna stood there, "Yes?"
"Why did you pick Athena?" a pained expression crossed his face.

[Midnight_Rain]

((This is getting twisty..))

"Oh..I see." She said walking up the stairs. She headed into Damien's bed room. She sighed and stared into the wall mirror. Her hair went to black again.
She touched the mirror. "Aden..or Nada...where are you?" She said as the glass became a liquid. She reached her hand into it. A silver necklace came out of it.
She put it on. "This..will make me a bit stronger.." She said as she watched the mirror turn back to normal. So did her features.
Alexis sat on the bed.
"I am..a goddess..?" she said to herself. "I don't understand.."

[Strega]

Nada stared at Sdna, "Why? I've never given up on you, never tried to leave you...."
Sdna looked away, "We went over this before we were banished."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis laid on the bed. She closed her eyes and touched her necklace. "What..am I?" she asked herself.

[Strega]

"I hate her Sdna! She took you from me!" Nada yelled, standing up.
"Calm down, Nada...." Sdna said.

[Midnight_Rain]

A chill hit her. Why is it soo cold in here..? She thought.

[Strega]

Sora sighed happily, "I wonder if Dream Boy is real...."
"I won't calm down! It's not fair!" Nada wiped away a blood tear.
Sdna frowned.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis sighed and stood. The chill was becoming stronger. She willed it away. She moved down the stairs again. "Sora..can we talk?" she asked.

[Strega]

"Sure!" Sora bounced happily over.

"Leave me alone, Sdna!" Nada yelled, "Just leave!"
Sdna sighed, "As you wish." he went back to Damien then disappeared.

[Midnight_Rain]

"Was..your brother..always..soo.." She tried to speak..but the Athena was getting the better of her. "Was he so cold?"

[Strega]

"It was better when they were little." Sora smiled a little, "They were inseperable! It was sooo cute. They'd walk around holding hands.... Damien's had glasses since he was little. The two were opposites, but that didn't stop them.... It was when Damien started liking girls that they started to fight....."

[Midnight_Rain]

"So..do you think..it's my fault he's like that?" She asked looking down. "Is..it?"

[Strega]

"No. It was before Damien went a litle crazy. Damien's dad died and he grew icey, blocking the rest of us out. It killed Aden, so he replied the same. It turned into a war, and now look at them." Sora frowned.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis sighed. "I..just want everyone to be happy." She froze. Her eyes flashed to the purple.
She tried to hold Athena back.

[Strega]

"You can't fix the world with one glance, Alexis." Sora poked her nose.

[Midnight_Rain]

"But..I can try..can't I?" She smiled.

[Strega]

"Just don't wear yourself out." Sora wagged a finger.
"He won't come home." Damien walked in the door.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis smiled. She then heard Damien's voice. "Maybe..I should talk to..him." She sighed.

[Strega]

"That might not help...." Damien looked at the ground, "He's mad at the world....."
Sora frowned sympathetically, "Da-"
"I'll be in my room." he walked away.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis sighed.. "I will be right back..I don't care what Damien..says..I want to go talk to him no matter what, make him something..please..Sora..I just feel..that this is half my fault." She rushed out the door.

[Strega]

"Hmm.... Chocolate chip pancakes..." Sora smiled, turning to the oven.

Aden hadn't moved from the spot he was sitting in, "She took him...... from me......"

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis walked to him. Her eyes soft, "Aden...Nada.." She whispered. "I've done something..wrong..haven't I?" she asked him. Her hands joined together but behind her.

[Strega]

Nada was there, "Leave me alone, Athena!" he hissed, "I don't want your sympathy. It's the last thing I want!" his voice intertwined with Aden's.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis looked down. She transformed.
"WHAT HAVE I DONE!?" She was nearly in tears. Her black robes ripped and torn. "WHY DO YOU HATE ME SO?" She asked looking at him. Her necklace was now a cresent mark on her forehead.

[Strega]

"YOU TOOK HIM FROM ME!!!!" Nada stood, "You stole him! He was mine, but then you came along...." more blood tears trickled down, "He was mine...."

[Midnight_Rain]

She looked down. Her tears fell. They were sparkling and truly that of a goddess. "I took him..?" she asked. "You've had him all along.."

[Strega]

"I had him, but he saw you. He recognized you when you didn't even know you existed yet...." Nada glared, "Now will you leave me alone?"

[Midnight_Rain]

"No." She commented. She put a hand to his cheek. "Listen..he will be always yours. I..just..love him. I..am just a goddess banned from heaven.." She backed up.

[Strega]

"I will never have him. He will never look at me the way he used to...." Nada disappeared in the blood red shroud.

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena felt her legs weaken. "I..hate..this." She whispered and appeared in front of Damien. She sat down on his bed. "..I..am a fool..Nsda.."

[Strega]

Sdna wrapped his arms around her, "You are not."

[Midnight_Rain]

"It's my fault he's like this..if you wouldn't have found me..again..this wouldn't be.."

[Strega]

"No, please don't blame yourself...." he frowned, "Please don't...."

[Midnight_Rain]

She looked at him. "Maybe...we shouldn't have...met." She whispered.

[Strega]

"Stop.... Please...." Sdna replied.

[Midnight_Rain]

"I can't help it.." she sighed. Her heart raged in her chest.

[Strega]

"You can't leave me...." he practically begged.

[Midnight_Rain]

"It might..be best..if I do..and maybe..Nada..will be happier." She looked down. "I'll aways love...you."

[Strega]

"No." he clung to her.

[Midnight_Rain]

"But..-" She looked at him. "You..and me..shouldn't be together..you know what will happen...your the angel of hell and I am the goddess of heaven..."

[Strega]

"I can't lose you again....." he burried his face in her hair.

[Midnight_Rain]

She took muffled breaths. "But-..it's not right.." Her black dress was turning a pure white..

[Strega]

"That never stopped you before...." he let a few tears slide.

[Midnight_Rain]

"Let's face it..Nada..hates me.." She whispered.
"I want to be with you..but I don't want to hurt you ethier."

[Strega]

"You won't Athena, you won't....." he cried into her hair.

[Midnight_Rain]

"Let's face it..Nada..hates me.." She said sadly.
"That's why I must leave.."

[Strega]

"No..." he whimpered slightly.

[Midnight_Rain]

She smiled and leaned in and kissed him hard. Her lips touching his. Blushing hard, she let go.

[Strega]

He took her head in his hands and kissed her gently.

[Midnight_Rain]

"Just..one more..kiss..please..and..bite..me." She whispered to him.

[Strega]

"I can't bite you.... I can't...." Sdna shook his head.

[Midnight_Rain]

"No..leave your mark on me..I will be yours..and no one else's.."

[Strega]

He kissed her.

[Midnight_Rain]

She let it go. "I should..leave..come..see me tonight..at my..old..apartment..where..this girl..used to live..alright?"

[Strega]

".... I have no knoweledge of that place...." Sdna sighed.

[Midnight_Rain]

She placed her hand on her chest and put her other hand on his forehead. A light shone. It showed him the street and the number of the room.
"Now you do.." She whispered.

[Strega]

"Can you stay for the pancakes you had the girl prepare?" Sdna gave her a puppy pout face.

[Midnight_Rain]

She sighed. "You ..win..just..for the pancakes.." she looked at him sadly.

((G2g ..be back later.))

[Strega]

"Thank you." he smiled, "She'd be very disappoimted if you left."

((Okayz.))

[Midnight_Rain]

"Yeah..your right..I will stay..just for a little while..then I need to go back."

[Strega]

He nodded, "Okay...."

[Midnight_Rain]

She sighed and laid her head on his chest. "It..just isn't far is it? We..can't be together..can we..fate is to cruel."

[Strega]

"We can, I promise." he whispered, resting his head on her shoulder.

[Midnight_Rain]

"But..it's forbidden..we aren't allowed."

[Strega]

((My internet is psycho, it'll log me on and off, this is your warning.))

[Strega]

"But..it's forbidden..we aren't allowed."

"No it isn't... I won't let it...."

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena sat up and looked at him.
"I'm and a goddess of the heavens..and you are an angel of hell..we shouldn't..be..together..but..I love you!"

[Strega]

Sdna stared at her sadly.

[Midnight_Rain]

"Damn it! This isn't right! I hate this! I hate this!" She said screaming and crying at the same time. "I hate..fate."

[Strega]

"But we can fight it...." Sdna whispered.

[Midnight_Rain]

"We..will fight it!" She said holding him close. "Because..we have to fight it!"

[Strega]

He hugged her back, "Yes...."

[Midnight_Rain]

"But...how?" She asked him. "Your..cousin..hates..me."

[Strega]

"He hates everyone but Sora....."

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena looked down. "It's my fault..he told me..I took you away.."

[Strega]

"He just wants someone to blame...."

[Midnight_Rain]

"For ..what? Why? Why is he..so?" She asked tracing his lips with her finger.

[Strega]

He closed his eyes under her touch, "I don't know... He's troubled..." his voice got slightly quieter.

[Midnight_Rain]

"What happend..in..your past..when..I was gone? Why does..he blame..me?"

[Strega]

"He's... even more fond... of me.... But, when Damien's father died... He distanced me away from Nada and himself..... from Aden..."

[Midnight_Rain]

"I-I Don't know what to do." She said hugging his chest again. Light sobs were heard. "What happends..if..'he' comes again?" She asked him.

((Dun Dun I have another twist.))

[Strega]

"Well, if he finds Nada, we're royally screwed...."

[Midnight_Rain]

"I know that..remember..he is the reason..we can't be together..he will stop us. We..will suffer." She said sadly whispering into his ear.

[Strega]

"No, he won't keep us apart.... I won't let him...."

[Midnight_Rain]

She laid there with him. His warmth upon her. She felt..so cold and freezing thinking back on those memories. "I..feel so cold." She said whispering her breath as cold as ice.

[Strega]

He closed his eyes, wrapping his arms around her.

[Midnight_Rain]

She felt his body protrude a warmth that sent flames through her entire body. "I love..you"

[Strega]

"Love you too."

[Midnight_Rain]

"You..don't have any idea how I've missed you so." She said breathing on his neck in short breaths.

[Strega]

"I've... missed you too... Your touch and smell...."

[Midnight_Rain]

"I've missed..the tatse of your kiss, and the smile that shapes your lips..I need you."

[Strega]

"I need you too..."

[Midnight_Rain]

"But..it's not safe."

[Strega]

"I don't care....."

[Midnight_Rain]

"Are you sure?" She asked sitting up. "Are you positive..you wish..to be with me? Do you love me that much..? If you do..then..show me."

[Strega]

((My dad has to get on. I'll be on when he's off.))

"How do I show you?"

[Midnight_Rain]

"I don't..care..just show me." She whispered to him.


((Well I'm going to bed..so night.))

[Strega]

He pressed his lips against her's, kissing her deeply and passionately.

[Midnight_Rain]

(((AHHH! I will reply later.))

[Strega]

((lol, okay.))

[Midnight_Rain]

Her eyes widened. 'Sdna..' she thought to herself. 'I wanna be with..you.' She kissed back.

[Strega]

Sdna cloosed his eyes.

[Midnight_Rain]

She put her hands around his neck in a romantic manner, still kissing.

[Strega]

Sdna slightly pulled away as his stomach growled, "Food?"

[Midnight_Rain]

She smiled. "Alright..food." She said and stood, she began to walk away from him. Something wasn't right though. She felt like she had just been stabbed in the back and it really hurt. It was like a shocking pain deep inside of her..haunting her. Was it him? But..he was banished to the underworld..Sdna, Nada, and her..had hadn't they? She began to wonder if he was really gone after all. Maybe..this was all..a setup. She would just have to be careful. Her eyes were tinted with purple. Her long raven hair, turned back to it's normal shade...purple.
She smiled at Sdna, and grasped in necklace in a worried manner and began to walk downstairs. Every step she took..would it lead to horror or..dreams..? Only she would..know.

[Strega]

Sdna let Damien have control back, who was overcome by hunger.

[Midnight_Rain]

((Yeah..I went a little..story with the last post sorry..I love to write! ^^))

Alexis walked down the stairs. Her walk was like a cat, it was full of grace and yet it held a sneaky edge to it. She put a finger to her lips. "It..smells good." She said in a happy tone, it was hard to believe a couple of minutes ago she was a goddess.

[Strega]

Sora smiled, "I hope it is."
Damien came down the stairs, "Sora! I lub you!" he laughed, ruffling her hair.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis smiled. "I know it's going to be good!" She smiled and sat down. Her eyes were hard to read at the moment.

[Strega]

Damien sat down and started to eat. Sora played with her food.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis ate in silence. When she was finished. She bowed. "Thank you for your food..Sora, but I must go now..I have stuff to do." She said turning. She eyed Damien and put on that fake smile again. "Be back later." she said and winked and headed for the door.

(((Going to bed.))

[Strega]

((kk, night.))

"Okay." Damien looked away, pain tearing at his heart.
"Bye." Sora said.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis walked out the door, and into the night.
She finally reached her apartment. She grasped the necklace with a hard grip, as if it would protect her. She knew the tears would come soon, they always did. She didn't want to leave him..but she would see him tonight..wouldn't she? She walked to her bed. How no one had slept in it for months. She wondered if everyone looked for her. She traced the feeling of her door..time had passed through here. She was sure..the man that they sealed away was coming back..and he was..getting stronger by the tick of the clock.

[Strega]

Aden wandered around town, confusion, worry, and anger fueling his walk.

Damien finished his food, kissed Sora on the forehead and went to his room.

[Midnight_Rain]

She found herself in a strange movement of worry. She was alone now and felt weak and defenceless.
She staired up at the ceiling. Her eyes slowly closing..her mind become..weaker. Her lips in a straight line. Her face smooth and tired. She was soon asleep.
