Escape

[Strega]

Damien stared at Sdna, Sdna stared back, and at the same time, "Whoa...."

[Dark_Heart]

(((lol kk see you all laterz...bed time for banzai! *sleeps on floor*)))

[Strega]

((I have to go to bed. Night.))

[Midnight_Rain]

((*Yawns* Morning!))

Athena looked down at her body. She then looked at the girl laying next to her. Tears of sorrow and joy mixed falling down her pale cheeks. "Oh..my..god." She whispered. She was shaking, she also noticed..she was naked now.."Alexis..wake up." She whispered not really caring anymore. She then moved and walked over to Sdna. "We, should..bury him." She whispered. "It's only right." She said looking at Xion's limp body.

Alexis slowly awoke. She couldn't believe her eyes, in fact she couldn't even get a complete thought process of what just happened. She looked over at Athena, then moved to look at Damien, then to Sdna, then..Aden! Nada...where was Nada?
She looked around. "Nada?" She whispered.

[Strega]

"This kid weighs a ton!!!" Nada came into the clearing, caring Aden.
"It's muscle." Damien smiled.
Nada put Aden down, grumbling.
Sdna stood, "Alright. We'll bury him."
"He's still alive!!!"
"Not Aden, moron...."

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena couldn't help but giggle. "Xion..should be burried somewhere peacful." She said bending down and starting to pray. After she was finished a moment of silence went by. "I..think I know where..would you all follow me?" She asked with a light smile.

Alexis smiled at Damien. "Yes..I'll follow." She said then looking at Athena, then back to Damien.

[Strega]

Sdna nodded, "We'll follow."
Damien nodded, "Yup."
"I'm not carrying him the entire way." Nada dropped Aden.
Damien woke Aden up, "He can walk."

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena nodded and lifted up Xion' s body. This seemed harder because of her human form. She sighed and struggled a little but ignored her weakness. She started to walk. Down a narrow path and then crossing a small river, then they came to this beauitful water fall, and right by it was a peice of land, the light shimmered down on that peice of land it looked like the heavens had made it as a protection place. She looked at it and then down at Xion. Her eyes teared again.
"Here."

Alexis found herself worldless. "It's..breathtaking." She whispered.

[Strega]

Sdna waved a hand and a hole six feet deep appeared. Since he wasn't bound to Damien he had no restrictions to his power.
Damien walked over to Alexis, "You okay?" he felt stupid... He'd just attacked a guardian and she had Nada take her away.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis looked down. "Damien..what do you think? I was part of Athena..back there. I could feel every pain..she felt. It hurt, it felt like my heart was breaking into tiny shards." She said to him.

Athena closed her eyes and Xion's body was lifted into the air and was placed in his grave. Her tears created a flower, she was a goddess..but she was also..now human. The flower was placed in Xion's grave with him. After all this she walked away saying. She needed to be alone.

[Strega]

Sdna filled the hole.
Nada was staring at the ground, "I'm being called." he disappeared.
Damien stared at the ground, "..."

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena put her feet in the water and let them dangle. "I'll miss you..Xion." She whispered. She closed her eyes.

Alexis looked up.

[Strega]

Damien opened his mouth and closed it again. He didn't want to admit he'd enjoyed fighting Xion. The adrenaline, the feeling of having power... He'd missed both.

[Midnight_Rain]

((Lol did you really enjoy fighting Xion?))

Alexis sat down. "Damien..I was scared."

Athena just relaxed.

[Strega]

((Sorta. Well, it's a teenage boy who used to experiment on people. He's going to miss it... ^.^))

Damien remained standing, "I'm sorry...."

[Midnight_Rain]

(((I just called dark..and he's being a jerk..he hung up on me! T.T))

Alexis looked at him. "It's..alright." She then turned her body not facing him.

[Strega]

Damien remained silent, trying to keep the thought of the power out of his head. He didn't want her to ask, or even look at the memories of his face during that fight.

((... Kick his butt...))

[Midnight_Rain]

((Trust me I will! Evil..mean..jerk!))

Alexis sucked in a breath. "Damien..I love you." She said trying to look at him.

[Strega]

"I love you too." Damien looked at her.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis stood and kissed his lips. "I was so worried about you.."

[Strega]

"Worried about what?" he wrapped his arms around her.

[Midnight_Rain]

"When..you fought..Xion." She said laying her head on his shoulder.

[Strega]

"Worried that I was going to get hurt?"

[Midnight_Rain]

"Yes." She said her voice softly. "I was worried you were going to get hurt. Athena...was screaming in my mind and her screams hurt....I didn't know what was happening..all I saw was..darkness."

[Strega]

Damien smiled faintly, "I was fine. I am fine."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis looked at him in the eyes dirrectly. "Then, lets..go home."

[Strega]

Damien nodded, "Okay."

[Strega]

((Oi>.<. Now I'm really going to the store. Alright. Will be back.))

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis took his hand in hers and they walked off. "Are you coming..Aden?" She said softly.

Athena sat up. She stared down at the crystal water. "Beautiful.."

[Strega]

Aden grumbled something, but trudged after the other teens, "You try waking up and seeing a guy holding you.... And he's naked."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis sighed. "Come..on." She said lightly tugging on Damien's sleeve.

Athena looked up as she heard a rustle in the bushes. "Umm..who is it?" She asked questioning who it was.
((Make is someone..))

[Strega]

((What do you mean????))

Damien started walking.

[Midnight_Rain]

((Make one of your charaters come talk to Athena..please?))

Alexis kept her pace while walking.

Athena kept her eyes on the bushes while her fingers dipped in the water, the water seemed to grow on her body then forming a soft light blue dress, it turned into clothing.

[Strega]

Nada walked out of the bush, "Any chance you can do that for me?" he chuckled, sitting next to her, "Aden freaked out when he saw me...."

Aden looked around, hands shoved in his pockets.

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena smiled lightly at him. She placed her fingers in the water again and it shimmered and then she placed her finger on his shoulder forming a blue shirt and some pants. "There. I understand. I..am the goddess of light and water. Xion was my guardian because of his control over the water and rain." She laughed lightly. "You know..I must thank you." She said turning to look at him. "You remind me of Xion. That is a very good thing." She then and looked at the waterfall. The rushing water calmly hitting the rocks beneath it. Athena placed her hand in the water again. She lifted it, it formed a ball. "But Xion..also had his bad traits when..he got angry.." She sighed. "He couldn't control water anymore it turned into fire and I despise fire. He used that on me, to burn my wings. The power of black fire."
((Long conversation aye?))

Alexis turned back. "I need something.." She said to them.."And you should know what that is.." the thirst in her eyes was deep.

[Strega]

"Er.... A hug?" Aden blinked, "Ice cream? Alone time?"

Nada smiled faintly, "Thank you, but I don't like playing with fire. That's my sister."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis blinked. "No..I'm..thirsty.." She whispered lightly embarrassed.

Athena smiled and touched his cheek, "Nada..I know..but your temper is just like..his." She said and pulled her hand away blushing. "I'm am sorry I didn't mean..to touch you like that." She looked down. "Will..you be my new..guardian?" She whispered.

[Strega]

Nada shrugged, "Sure." he smiled, he kissed her forehead, "Just watch out for my reckless Sdna, kay?"

Damien laughed as Aden anime sweat dropped.

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena blushed. "I will." She whispered and said something. She pressed her fingers against his head. A light glow came from them. "There..your my new guardian." She smiled warmly. "Remember I'll protect Sdna..if you protect me..and don't worry I will be looking out for you as well." She said with a grin.

Alexis looked down. "So..umm.." She felt that nervous feeling in her stomach again.

[Strega]

"We still have wings, we can get you to town fast if you need....." Damien said.

((They were born half and half.))

Nada nodded, "Though I highly doubt I need protection. I avoid trouble cases."

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena smiled again. "Then looks like your going to be in a lot of trouble..your my guardian..and you know..how life is for me." She winked and stood herself. "We might as well as head back." She said and turned bow to the water. She had her eyes on the grave. "Rest my beloved."
Alexis sighed. "Maybe.." She said looking away. "Just get me home." She whispered.

[Strega]

Damien picked her up, nodding slightly. He took off into the air, Aden following.

Nada followed Athena.

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena started to walk out. She let her wings unfold. The scorch marks were now gone and now she had pure new wings. She smiled at Nada and was in the air. She then looked down. "Where's Sdna?" she asked Nada.

Alexis felt a wave of dizziness hit her.

[Strega]

The teens were soon in town, where Damien landed.

"In the air." Nada looked up.

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena looked up and smiled as she saw him. "And what were you doing up there? Spying?" She laughed and took his hand and then took Nada's. "Let's go."

Alexis looked around. "Anything will do..hell..even water.." She said trying to stay awake. She felt weak, and tired. Vampires..never get tired.

[Strega]

"Alexis....?" Damien watched her worriedly, "You don't want normal food....."

Sdna shook his head, "I'm not bound to the kid so I don't have barbed wire around my wings. It feels good to stretch them without the wire."

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena smiled. "Well I am happy to have my wings back in normal shape..and by the way Nada is my new guardian." She said turning back and letting go of their hands. She looked at Sdna, it was the first time she saw him with normal black wings. She smiled and stared at his naked body. "Um.." She looked down and put her hand on his chest a light eliminated from it and he now wore clothes. "There..that's better..not that I mind it's just not right for Nada.." She stated blushing.

Alexis shook her head. "Damien..you know what I need..please..do something for me?" She said looking at Aden. "Aden..Damien..please hurry."

[Strega]

"Blood....." Damien murmered. His wings curled around her, "Alexis....."

"Congrats." Sdna said to Nada, then to Athena, "Not that he hasn't seen."

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena lightly smiled. "I know this. I just want you all to myself." She blushed and kept flying. "Care to race?" She eyed them both playfully. Her pure wings let out a light pure air around them.

Alexis looked down. "I don't want to hurt anyone.." She said lightly. "Please..just get me home I'll figure out something." she said lightly.

[Strega]

"Alexis." Damien said more sternly this time.

Nada and Sdna shrugged, then took off.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis shuddered at the sound of his voice. She wasn't going to win and she knew this..yet why shouldn't she try. "Damien..anything but that." She whispered.

Athena smiled and took off after them. She was laughing.

[Strega]

The ancient old boys were shoving each other, trying to get in the lead.

Damien held onto his opinion firmly.
Aden stood outside the wing shield and answered people's, 'what-are-the-doing?' questions with, "Do you really wanna know?"

[Midnight_Rain]

((Lol.))

Alexis looked at him with a saddend look. "Put me ..down. I can walk." She said with a studdered understanding of her own voice. "Damien..I really don't want to hurt..anyone and I don't want to hurt you." She whispered.

Athena smiled and took after on their side and waved and sped up.

[Strega]

"HEY!!!!" they sounded like kids. They took off after her.

Damien shook his head, "Alexis. You. Need. Food. Drink."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis refused. "I think we've been through this before..." She smiled weakly. "Damien..can't you give me something else?" she whispered. "Is it something..we need? Blood..I'll just be weak..I won't die."

Athena laughed and flew faster, pure sparkles flying behind her.

[Strega]

Sdna flew faster, but stopped suddenly. He'd gone too high and couldn't go any farther. He rubbed his face, "Ow....."

Damien shook his head, "I won't let you be weak..... I can't stand to see you that way."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis's eyes then grew angry. "Don't worry about me." She said looking away. "Do..as you will." She whispered.

Athena stopped to a hault. She didn't turn around. "You alright Sdna?"

[Strega]

"I... I can't go any higher...." Sdna frowned.

Damien looked at her, an eyebrow raised, "Really?" he shifted her to where he held her with one arm, then bit down on his wrist.

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena sighed. "Darn it!" Then her eyes opened widely. For a second they were full of bloodlust. Without a word she was flying fast to the city. "Alexis..something..has..happend." She whispered at full flight. She landed and looked at all the people and then to Aden. "What's happening?" She whispered her face full and her eyes red. "Where's Alexis..?" She may have been free of her but Alexis seemed to have grown on her . She could taste the air it had Damien's blood in the air.

Alexis looked at him weakly. "You..want me to drink..your blood?" She whispered not really wanting too.

[Strega]

Damien nodded.

Sdna shrugged, as did Nada, but they followed. They smelled it to. Nada quickly found Aden, who explained the same answer he did everyone, which made Nada laugh so hard he was doubled over and holding his sides -_-'

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis puckered her lips. She closed her eyes and reached in. She started to slowly drain him. She then stopped. "That's ..all." she said, she had to force herself to stop. She swollowed hard. She then closed her eyes and refused to open them. "That's all I want."

Athena smiled. "Is..she..thirsty?" She looked at Aden with a stare that was somewhat dark.

[Strega]

Aden nodded.
"Oh-oh! That was truly good!!!" Nada said between gasps.

Damien licked his wrist, the wound healing.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis looked at him, "I can walk..now." She whispered while she was recovering.

Athena peeked in. "She's alright now..You can let down the wing barrior. Sdna..let's go..come on Nada..I have to talk to you both." She whispered and started to walk away. Her hands were in fists.

[Strega]

Damien put the barrier down as Nada and Sdna followed Athena. Damien gently and slowly set Alexis down.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis stood slowly. She winced every few movements but was then fine. She walked out and looked at the people, she then turned away. "I'm alright now..Aden. I want to go..home." She whispered.

Athena looked down. "I, still feel her feelings.." She whispered to the boys.

[Strega]

The boys took her home.

Sdna and Nada stared at her for a few seconds, "Okay...."

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena sighed. "Don't you realize that's going to be a problem?" She said darkly.

Alexis looked up. "There's..no moon.."
((I'm heading to bed early..alright?))

[Strega]

Damien smiled, "Yup."

"That's minor.'" Nada shrugged.

[Midnight_Rain]

((I'll stay up for at least 30 more minutes.))

Athena sighed and began to walk again. "Let's head down to the beach..it's nice at night." She smiled.

Alexis smiled. "You can see the stars."

[Strega]

Damien yawned, "I'm gonna get some sleep...." he kissed Alexis's forehead then headed off.

Sdna and Nada followed Athena obediantly.

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena laughed. "We have our own bodies..we can do anything we want too..." She stopped at a hault. "That's a nice thing to know..freedom." She then began to walk again. Her eyes were bright. She finally walked down the steps the sand to the beach. She then walked to the waves. Her toes hitting the water, it was then her dress began to glow like water gathered around it. "It's the dress I've made." She whispered. She then sat down letting the waves hit her. It felt..good.

Alexis nodded and sighed. "You going too Aden?"

[Strega]

Aden shook his head, "I'm an insomniac."

Sdna blinked, then sat next Athena. Nada stripped himself of his clothes and went skinny dipping......

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis looked at him. "Your lucky..your only half vampire..you can actually sleep..I roam from asleep and awake."

Athena smiled at Sdna. "He's ..so wild..it's quite funny." She then looked into Sdna's eyes, she felt herself becoming lost in his eyes and was beginning to forget that she had to breathe. She blinked sucking in a breath. "Your eyes are lovely." She said quietly. She then cupped her hands in his cheeks and stared at them with a burning passion. "I love that about you.."

[Strega]

Sdna stared back, "Thank you....."

Aden shrugged, "Meh. It ain't that great."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis looked down. "How can you say that? Dreaming is one of the best things in life..all my dreams are gone.."

Athena smiled and kissed his lips lightly. She then laid back on the sand. Closing her eyes. The stars sparkling before their eyes and they seemed to reflect on the water making everything a peaceful atmosphere.

[Strega]

Sdna smiled at Athena, trying to remember how they'd gotten like this.

Aden shrugged, "I only get nightmares."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis snorted. "Well at least you get sleep." She said her eyelids heavy.

Athena smiled at him. "Do..you remember.. that first time we had met? I was a new angel and lost..you could have killed me right then and there..and you didn't why is that Sdna? Why did you spare me? Was it because Xion was watching..me?"

[Strega]

Sdna smirked, "No. I had.... other things in mind, but I decided against it when I met Xion....."

Aden smiled faintly, "I prefer not to."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis sighed at him. "I don't get you."

Athena smiled. "Like what other things humm?" She pushed. "I want to know what your were thinking..?"

[Strega]

"Things that make Alexis and Damien blush, except with more force." Sdna was dead honest.

Aden then smirked, "I'm not meant to be got."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis heard the smirk in his voice. She then turned to look at him. "Can I ask you something? What do you think of death? I mean are you afraid of it? I won't die..but you can.."


Athena blushed then at that moment. "Really?" she said softly. "You were wanting that? But you didn't even know me..you only saw me..?"

[Strega]

Sdna shrugged, "I don't know, but I did. Does everything have to be gotten?"

".... Depends. I don't want to die a slow, horrid death, but I don't want to die before I can tell the people around me that I love them. I'm afraid, yet I flirt with death." Aden shrugged.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis listened to him. "I understand that..when I was a human..I was like that too." She said lightly. She put a hand to her neck. "It still hurts you know..?"

Athena sighed. "It doesn't matter you've got what you've wanted..you've laid a goddess, who has disobeyed the heavens, her last guardian sacrificed his life for her new love and her, who has been hunted by death countless times and yet still loves you back.." She said now gentilly.

[Strega]

Sdna kissed her.

Aden smiled, stroking the spot on her neck, "It's okay. He won't get you. We won't let him."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis smiled. "I trust you guys..his eyes just scare me that much...I lose myself." She lightly put a hand to his wrist and could feel the blood flow in him fast. "Your heart beats..fast."

Athena was surprised by that. She kissed him back on the sand. The waves crashing at their feet. She put her hands around his neck and smiled as she let go of the kiss taking in a deep breath.

[Strega]

"GET A ROOM!" Nada yelled.
Sdna ignored him.

Aden nodded.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis looked at him with question. "Why is that?"

Athena only laughed. "We..better not." she said sitting in his lap.

[Strega]

Sdna chuckled, "Aw, that's no fair."

Aden shrugged, "Damien's is slow, mine is fast."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis lightly kissed him on the cheek and then laid her hand on the steel bar that overlooked the night sky. "I understand."

Athena smiled and traced his lips with her finger. "Well..we can't do that here."

[Strega]

"If he gets to go skinny dipping, we should be able to...." Sdna trailed off.

".... How much did you drink, Alexis?" Aden asked.

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena laughed. "I suppose.." She whispered. "But you won't get anymore..for a while." She winked.

Alexis was surprised at his tone. "Why?" She asked.

[Strega]

"Usually not even Sora can pick up my pulse.... Unless she's extremely hungry." Aden explained.

Sdna pouted, "Fine."
"HA!" Nada pointed a finger.

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena smiled. She then kissed his lips again.


Alexis looked down. "So." she wouldn't look up again. "I-I'm not hungry..I swear..on my grave."

[Strega]

Aden chuckled, "A funny thing about being dead. You don't have a grave. I won't force you to drink, but I really don't think you should starve yourself."

Sdna kissed her back.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis sighed. "I know it's not right for a vampire to do this..but I hate hurting people..animals it's not right." she said a deep tension in her voice. "Just please don't tell Damien..no matter how weak I get..alright please..just tell him I've got a vampire cold or something.."

Athena sank back. "Your kiss is lovely as well." She smiled.

[Strega]

"He knows when I'm lying Alexis. Please, please don't do this to yourself......" Aden thought back to when Sora would do that. He shuddered.

Sdna buried his face in her neck.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis looked down. "It's bad enough I hurt him..I don't like taking his blood..I refuse to do it any longer Aden..I don't want too." She looked up and a light tear was in her eye.

Athena giggled a little and laid there enjoying the moment.

[Strega]

Sdna gently bit her neck.

Aden wiped the tear off, smiling a little, "Women and hurting others...."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis lightly smiled. "Do..you understand?" She said slightly almost a mumble.

Athena shuddered and laughed. "Sdna.." She whispered.

[Strega]

"Yes?" Sdna grinned.

"I do...." Aden nodded.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis smiled. "I'm glad." She then started to cough. After her little spasm. She stood. "I'm ready to go back home now..so are you coming?"

Athena smiled. "You act like a vampire." She grinned and then leaned in and breathed lightly enough to rise goosebumps on the skin of his neck.

[Strega]

Sdna shuddered, still grinning.

"We are." Aden smiled as the appeared in the house, Sora asleep on the couch.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis gave him a warm smile and headed in quietly. She moved to the upstairs bedroom, and then sat on a couch closing her eyes even though sleep would never come.

Athena lightly sucked on his skin on his neck. Giving him her own special mark..he he a hickey. She sat up and smiled.

[Strega]

"Happy?" Sdna chuckled.

Aden tucked his sister in, then Alexis, then Damien, his hand lingering on Damien's shoulder.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis laid there. She sighed. "Humans..have it so easy.."

Athena gave him an innocent look. "I don't..know are you?"

[Strega]

"I'm with you. Of course." Sdna smiled.

Aden cguckled, "yeah...."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis looked over at him. "You should get some sleep.." She said with a little bit of wince.

Athena smiled. "Then I'm happy..that your happy."

[Strega]

((I have to go to bed. Night.))

"Have your own mind." Sdna poked her nose.

"Not tired." Aden shook his head.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis sighed if he was going to be like that then so would she. "Then I'm not hungry and thats that." She smiled and laid her head on the pillow.

Athena smiled and laid back on the sand again.
((Night.))

[Strega]

Sdna looked at the sky, "What's it like up there?"

Aden tried to stifle his laugh.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis heard his little snickers. "What's so funny?" She growled.

Athena looked up at the stars. "It's beautiful..so mysic it's hard to describe. I totally lose myself when I'm up there like I'm not even me..anymore." She smiled. "Waterfalls of purity, and the air tastes so sweet it hard to even be angry."

[Strega]

Sdna closed his eyes and tried to picture, getting nothing. He opened his eyes, a saddened expression on his face, "Why?...."

"The way you said that. You sounded two." Aden whispered.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis blushed. She then looked at him. "Well..." She looked down. "You..always sound 2 when you talk..like that." She then smiled a I-won look.

Athena blushed his cheek. "It doesn't matter, you are my heaven. Not even the heavens hold the feeling that I feel for you."

[Strega]

Sdna smiled half-heartedly, "I know....."

Aden poked her nose, "And you usually sound two."

[Midnight_Rain]

"Besides..it doesn't matter I don't want to go back up there unless you can come with me. I will make that a promise to myself and you." Athena smiled.

Alexis blinked. "Well.." She couldn't think of a comeback. "I am not two!" She crossed her arms.

[Strega]

"I win." Aden lightly flicked her nose.

Sdna stroked her cheek, "You don't have to...."

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena shook her head with a smile. "No we have to be fair..I won't go up to heaven..for you."

Alexis sighed and tackled him. She then laid there. "I'm not getting up. She said as she put her chin on his chest. "Good luck."

[Strega]

Aden growled slightly, but after about an hour, he fell asleep.

Sdna gave up, "If you say so...."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis slightly laughed and then rose. She turned away heading back to the couch.

Athena smiled and kissed him. Then let go. "Wanna sleep..or walk the beach?"

[Strega]

"Whatever makes you happy." Sdna smiled at her.

Aden remained asleep, sprawled out on the floor, Damien asleep in his bed, curled into a tight ball, and Sora on the couch in the living room, sleeping in a straight line.

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena smiled. "Like I said I am only happy if you are happy."

Alexis got up and pulled a cover and went over and covered Aden up and then, moved and gave Damien a light kiss on the lips and moved back to the couch turning off all the lights and sitting there in the darkness.

[Strega]

Teens=asleep... well Sora trying to....

Sdna shrugged.

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena eyed him. She took his hand and they began to walk down the long shore. "Do..you have anymore questions? Because I do."

Alexis heard Sora and moved down the stairs to Sora. "What's wrong?" She whispered.

[Strega]

Sora opened an eye, "I can't sleep... I'm full vampire....."

Sdna smiled at Athena, "Question me all you want."

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena smiled as they walked and looked out at the water, seeing Nada. She laughed. "Well, what's it like down there? Not like it's one of my favorite places to talk about ..I just want to know."

Alexis smiled. "Well I'm full too. The boys are sleeping so..what do you want to do?"

[Strega]

Sora shrugged, sitting up.

"Very.... hot." Sdna laughed, "The screams, the demons.... his laughter.... It's an angel's worst nightmare and I live it..... No water, no food....."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis smiled. "Hey what makes Aden..tick?" She laughed.

Athena imagined it. A frightened look came to her face. "I..don't think I would survive a minute down there." She then smiled.

[Strega]

"I'm survivng...." Sdna chuckled, his age showing in his eyes, as well as the horrors he was imagining.

"Messing with his family." Sora laughed, "And friends."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis laughed. "Thought so. He's been..really kind lately though..ever since we took that walk."

Athena shivered. "I've been a goddess for 200 years and I can't even think about going to hell? What's wrong with me?"

[Strega]

"You belong in a place higher." Sdna smiled.

Sora shrugged, "Maybe he's getting over it. Maybe he isn't entirely gay...."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis seemed to blush as she said that. "Well.." She smiled. "He's still a big baby." She then laughed. "He said I acted like I was two."

Athena hugged him then. His warmth covering her. "So..do you."

[Strega]

Sdna hugged her back, "Not anymore...."

Sora chuckled, "You do sometimes, but doesn't everyone?"

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis laughed. "Yeah I guess your right." She nodded.

Athena said this sadly. "No Sdna..you still belong."

[Strega]

Sdna didn't say anything.

Sora laughed and nodded.

[Midnight_Rain]

((I've got to go..I'll be back later.))

Athena whispered. "I know this. You have a pure heart."

Alexis smiled.

[Strega]

"So, what do you want to do now?" Sora asked.

Sdna gave her a small smile.

[Midnight_Rain]

((Back..I went to piano lessons..))

Alexis shook her head. "Don't you wish to dream again?" She asked faintly.

Athena smiled back. "It's the truth..if I could I would change our worlds around.."

[Strega]

Sdna stared at the beach sand, "I know."

Sora nodded, "Of course."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis sighed. "I want to be able to sleep." She looked down and closed her eyes willing away every heart beat she could hear in the house.

Athena smiled.
"But I can't.." She then kissed him on the neck again.

[Strega]

Sora stared at her, "You really should eat...."

Sdna smiled.

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena pulled away and began to run. "If not fly..then let's race!" She called and started to run. Her dress in sparkles of light turned into a bathing suit. It was still the calm blue 2 peice.

Alexis shook her head. "I won't."

[Strega]

"Why not?" Sora asked.

Sdna laughed and ran after her.

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena smiled, "Come and get me!"

Alexis looked down. "I don't like hurting people."

[Strega]

"It really doesn't hurt the boys..." Sora thought back to the several times she'd bitten them.... Rather violently, "But your hunger will enslave you if you're not careful."

Sdna did so.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis nodded. "I can keep myself under control.."

Athena laughed.

[Strega]

Sdna soon caught up to her.

Sora frowned, "Not when Damien accidently gets cut.... Or Aden... They're both rather clumsy when it comes to sharp objects."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis looked down. "I won't let myself do that to them."

Athena tried to speed up.

[Strega]

Sdna snickered, picking her up, "We'll both win."

Sora shook her head, "When it happens, you might lose control."

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena blushed as they ran.

Alexis shook her head. "I won't let....it."

[Strega]

"You don't control that." Sora said softly.

Sdna kept Athena close.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis looked down. "Sora..what should I do?"

Athena laughed. "You..have a strong body.."

[Strega]

Sdna chuckled, "I kind of have to."

Sora smiled a little, "You just have to trust them."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis sighed. "I do I just can't trust myself.."

Athena laughed. "We..of course you do." She winked.

[Strega]

"They'll stop you if you're drinking too much." Sora reassured her.

"Sdna smiled.

[Midnight_Rain]

((G2G))

Athena laughed.

Alexis sighed. "I..willl..drink."

[Strega]

((Okayz.))

Sora smiled, "Good."

Sdna looked around, "So, where's the finish line?"

[Midnight_Rain]

((Be on for a couple of minutes.))

Alexis sighed. "Even though I don't want too."

Athena laughed. "I am the finish line." she winked and kissed his forehead.

[Strega]

"Oh?" Sdna raised an eyebrow, grinning.

Sora laughed slightly, "I never want to either."

((Okayz))

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis moved to the staircase. "I'm heading upstairs."

Athena laughed. "Yeah..I am the finish line."

[Strega]

Sdna stopped running, "Yay."

Sora nodded, "Okay..."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis headed back up to the couch trying her hardest not to step on Aden. She slightly laughed.

Athena smiled.

[Strega]

Sdna smiled, "Do you want me to set you down?"

Aden rolled over, catching her ankle.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis was caught off gaurd and tripped. "Hey!"

Athena smiled. "I don't care."

[Strega]

Sdna sat down, still holding her.

Aden woke up, "Hn?"

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis growled lightly on the ground. "You..tripped me..sorry to wake you." She blushed.

Athena smiled at him.

[Strega]

Sdna smiled back.

Aden blinked, registering her sentance, "Sorry."

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena leaned in again and whispered. "I love you."

Alexis smiled. "It's alright." She said getting ready to stand up.

[Strega]

Aden sat up and stretched.

Sdna closed his eyes, listening to her words, "Love you too."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis sat up. "I've been thinking."

Athena smiled. "I always thought you did."

[Strega]

Sdna laughed, "Yup."

"And....?" Aden watched her.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis gave in. "I..am going to start drinking blood..I really don't want too..but I will."

Athena laughed again. "I'm tired. NADA! Are you ready to go home now?"

[Strega]

Nada walked over, fully clothed, "Yup."

"Congrats." Aden clapped softly.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis rolled her eyes. "Just make sure you guys do everything in your power to stop me if something horrible were to happen."

Athena smiled. "Let's head back to my apartment..or would you like to go somewhere else?"

[Strega]

Sdna shrugged, "Wherever you want."

"Now will you drink?" Aden raised an eyebrow, "I'll wake Damien if you want."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis shook her head. "No..I'll be alright for right now." She bit her lip.

Athena smiled. "No..it's your turn for a decision."

[Strega]

"I decide that you should decide." Sdna smiled.

"Liar." Aden chuckled.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis looked at him. "Well I can.."

Athena laughed. "Well I've decided that you should decide."

[Strega]

"Well, I decide that you decide and that's my final decision." Sdna poked her nose.

"Li. Ar." Aden shook his head.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis muttered something unhearable.

Athena sighed. "Well I'm tired so.."

[Strega]

Sdna took her to her apartment, Nada in tow.

Aden cut his neck.

((He hates his wrists being messed with....))

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis fought back the smell her puples growing big.

Athena smiled. "We can do whatever you want."

[Strega]

"Sleep." Sdna kissed her forehead.

Aden just waited, knowing the fast pulse would get to her.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis clamped her jaw shut, "No." She whispered. She felt like she was fighting back tears.

Athena smiled and her eyes became heavy and in a few seconds she was sleeping.

[Strega]

Sdna covered her up.

Aden just whistled slightly, the wind blowing the scent to Alexis.

((Have to eat will be back.))

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis's eyes became a deep red then to deep black. She felt like she was ripping herself apart. "Stop.." She whispered in a hourse tone.

Athena whispered in her sleep; "Sdna.."

[Strega]

Sdna looked at Athena.

Aden shrugged, and didn't help nor hinder the process. He knew he'd win.

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena held a smile on her lips.

Alexis felt herself loose every sense of control she had left of herself. She tackled him.

[Strega]

Aden felt his head hit the ground and grunted slightly. He hadn't expected her to tackle, but he didn't care, as long as she stopped starving herself.

Sdna smiled and laid next to her.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis wasn't herself anymore. She started to drain him and it was fast and painful..for the both of them. Her own nails were digging inside her own skin as she clenched them in fists.

Athena rolled over in an asleep manner.

[Strega]

Sdna watched her.

Aden closed his eyes, hands on her back.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis felt her body overpower her. She kept at it not being able to stop herself. Blood came from her hands from her sharp nails. She was now deadly.

Athena wrapped a arm around Sdna.

[Strega]

Sdna smiled at the simple gesture.

Aden's eyes widened, "Alexis..... Stop...."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis had tears speading down her face. She kept at it. The bloodrush was taking over her entire body, sense and control. 'make this stop!' She wished in her mind.

Athena's eyes opened. A blood lust seeped in her eyes. "Sdna.."

[Strega]

Aden grumbled and pushed her off, feeling the chunk of skin coming off with her teeth. He healed his wound.

"They have to learn to take care of themselves." Sdna reminded her.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis looked down, she looked at her hands. And they were bloodied. Her hair was in her face. She was shaking. Tears hit the floor.

Athena nodded. "I can't help it.."

[Strega]

Aden took her wrists in his hands gently, "Hmm...." he gently licked her hands, taking the blood.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis watched him unsure of herself. "I'm..sorry." She whispered. Her eyes giving out the fact, that she wasn't about to forgive herself.

Athena sighed. "I think it's over."

[Strega]

Sdna nodded, "Okay."

Aden looked at her, "You won't listen, but it's okay. Same thing happened with Sora."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis felt her weakness subside. "I don't understand..I want to be able to control myself.."

Athena nodded.

[Strega]

"Sleep." Sdna insisted.

Aden chuckled, "Because you don't feed often enough, you can't control it." he watched her hands heal.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis nodded. "But-" She looked at her hands also. "I hate feeding.."

Athena laid her head back down on the pillow. She looked at Sdna her eyes closing every few seconds.

[Strega]

Sdna also laid.

Aden smiled, "You need to get rid of that hate."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis shook her head. "I am a vampire..who hates..to feed and hates to kill and hunt and do things that shouldn't be mentioned."

Athena was then asleep again.

[Strega]

Sdna smiled.

Aden chuckled, "You're hooked to being huiman."

[Midnight_Rain]

A light barrier came over them as Athena slept.

Alexis smiled. "Yeah..that's me."

[Strega]

Aden smiled at her and patted her cheek.

Sdna closed his eyes.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis sighed lightly and leaned back against the couch. She glared over at the clock 3 A.M. "You should..sleep now."

Athena slept.

[Strega]

Sdna fell asleep.

Aden shrugged, "I'm wide awake."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis blinked. "Please..?" She asked with a puppy face.

Athena moved again in her sleep now whispering. "Xion..Sdna.."

[Strega]

Sdna didn't hear anything.

Aden chuckled, "Nope."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis sighed. "You are horrible." She rolled her eyes. And sat now in silence.

Athena held a pleasant smile on her face.

[Strega]

Aden shrugged, "Pretty much."

Sdna=asleep.

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena= dreaming of a past love and a now present love

Alexis looked out the window.

[Strega]

Aden leaned back.

Sdna=not dreaming

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena moved in her sleep.

Alexis sighed. "I am going to head out to the balcony..you can come if you wish." She said sitting up and heading over to the sliding glass doors and opening them. She closed them lightly and stared out at the sky. She was zoning you could say.

[Strega]

Aden watched her.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis became lost in the stars, and started to think.
' I wish I was human..just for one day..that's all I ask for...but I am stuck like this a vampire...I don't even want to hurt anyone..dam you Aric..'

[Strega]

Aden continued to watch her.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis sighed and slung her head over the bar looking down.

[Strega]

Aden watched.

[Midnight_Rain]

She seemed to stay like this for a while.

[Strega]

Aden didn't mind.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis stood and walked back inside. She then laid on the couch. The light was still off.

[Strega]

Aden looked at her, "Are you okay?"

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis nodded. "Just thinking.."

[Strega]

"Okay...."

[Midnight_Rain]

She then bounced up. "You really should sleep!"

Athena moved again in her sleep.

[Strega]

"I'm fine." he chuckled.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis said something under her breath. "Whatever.."

[Strega]

Aden laid down, "If it'll make you happy, I'll try."

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis seemed to blush at his words. "Then please do." She whispered.

[Strega]

His eyes closed.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis closed her eyes as well.

[Strega]

Aden soon fell asleep.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis sat there in the silence of the room. Hours pasted it was now 10:30...A.M

[Strega]

Aden woke up and stretched.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis smiled "Good morning.." She looked over at Damien.

Athena sat up with a yawn.

[Strega]

Aden smiled, "Morning... Sora's making pancakes and sausage...."

Sdna was still asleep

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena lightly brushed her finger tips across his cheek and got up the barrior pulling down.

Alexis nodded.

[Strega]

Aden looked at Damien, "Oi... First to bed, last to rise...."

Sdna just smiled in his sleep.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis smiled. "Morning sleepy head." She laughed.

Athena smiled and stood and moved to the next room she peeked in Nada's room.

[Strega]

Nada was twisted in his blankets, his feet on the bed, head on the ground, mumbling, "Can't even sleep without getting attacked..... Ack!"

Damien mumbled something and rolled over.

[Midnight_Rain]

Alexis went and sat by his bedside. "Going to wake up now?" She blushed.

Athena laughed. "Attacked? By..what?" She said with a light laugh.

[Strega]

"Er.... The blanket! It tied me up and now it's trying to suffocate me!" Nada grumbled.

Damien opened an eye, "Mmmm...."

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena just laughed and went over to help him. "You are so silly." She smiled.

Alexis smiled and kissed his cheek.

[Strega]

Damien rolled over and hugged her.

Nada just shrugged, "Think what you want, but they did. I even dreamt about it."

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena lightly knocked on his head. "I don't know what to think."

Alexis smiled she needed that..for what the night had done to her.

[Strega]

Damien smiled at her, "Mornin'!"

Nada wiggled out and tossed the bundle on the bed, "I'll get you back later. Play innocent in front of her...."

[Midnight_Rain]

Athena laughed. "Your..insane..that's okay though." She smiled and kissed his cheek. "You are the perfect guardian."

Alexis smiled and stood.

[Strega]

Aden had already left the room.
Damien sat up. He was in just sleep pants.

Nada smiled, "Thanks. I try."
