Deoridhe is looking nervous - very nervous - as she walks in with a Remiel's arm over her shoulder. She's talking softly in a low voice. "The water's right here, and I can wash your face, and then we can find your lions, all right?"
Remiel Labou: ""Im fine..I'm fine" She was fussing like a mother hun. All just because he looked messy and face stubbled and crying blood. Women! But as they rounded the corner to the falls and fountain Remiel tensed. "Lion." He clipped threw his fangs. He looked more ready to eat it then appologize...but he also looked a bit put off by the idea of closer...had Hikaru set him up? What was happening now? Would the lions except his appology? "Stay." He told Deo and let her go....pat at her hair once 'good puppy' and walked closer towards Ser. It was then he and Hikaru forgot to realize. He didnt know HOW to appologize. "Sorry?""
Serenity had been sitting and staring at the crystal clear water spurting forth from the pretty fountain for some time, lost in thoughts that she really would rather have forgotten. One hand swished slowly through the cool water making figure eights idly while her lioness stared at the shiny koi fish that floated lazily through the water. The panwere shook her head with a soft, amused chuckle at her cat, though her wolf slept at her side, bored…guess she wasn’t into fish. It took a minute for Ser to tug her mind from her thoughts, feeling much like wading through a pool filled with molasses as she turned the full force of her glittering blue white orbs on the two that had dared to intrude upon her peacefulness. If one were to look closer the glittering effect in her eyes were unshed tears, how interesting. The panwere didn’t need to expend energy, she hadn’t needed to scent the air or even glance to where the two people stood…their voices were enough to let her know who had happened upon her. Remiel and Deo. Fun. She had no qualms with the colorfully dressed fairy girl, but the vampire…well now we all knew the stories about him. His one word, sorry, caught her attention, perfectly sculpted eyebrow lifting in a slightly perplexed manner, “Beg your pardon?” She asked clearly, why would he be speaking to her? Ser didn’t even think that he knew that word to begin with."
Deoridhe says, soothingly, "Um... Ass....sir... that is a woman, not a lion." She looks after him, worried for the damn asshole like a moron. She pulls on a curl of her hair, offering Serenity a confused smile. "I think he's ....hurt."
Remiel Labou: "Thats just what they tell the humans." Remiel muttered. "She's a lion." And something else, but the something else he still couldnt figure out. "Arnt you thankful that your lied to....so that you can sleep at night?" Pulling from DEo altogether he stood a little bit closer to Ser but still stayed an arms length away. "Sorry." He repeated...he knew it was an appropriate word...it was the 'make an appropriate sentence that was harder. "I'm sorry" Still not quite a sentence. "For, you know" PRogress!"
Serenity stared at Remiel with utter irritation, did he just seriously give her private secret away to a human? “I don’t know what you are talking about, a lion…really? Are you on drugs Remiel?” She laughed good naturedly as she crossed one long, tan leg over the other, heels clicking against one another lightly, though her white blue orbs stared into his with a look that clearly said “SHUT UP YOU MORON!”…she wasn’t trying to be rude, and yes she had outed herself in town many times…but people were beginning to forget…and new people were coming that didn’t know her secrets. She smiled weakly at Deo, giving the woman a playful wink, “He must be…” her gaze took in his blood stained cheeks and eyes, frowning slightly, her caring nature taking over….damn pregnancy horomones….damn pharmaceutical degree. “Why do you keep repeating sorry?” She asked, she didn’t delude herself…he couldn’t be apologizing to her…he hated her…though God knew why.
Deoridhe shifts a little, looking between the two of them with a look of utter bafflement on her face. "Whatever," she mutters, moving toward the fountain to wet her handkerchief before turning to look at Remiel with a brow raised.
Remiel Labou: "Shrugged....he didnt care anymore. "It's not like she doesnt see things anyway." He figured she might as well be able to see poofy white animal clouds or something. "Maybe she'll think she's dreaming again." Humans always rationalized the paranormal away anyway."Right JAil Bait?"At Ser's questioning he almost looked a bit frantic. "Because I am?" Even if it was half posed as a question. "I need to appologize, and I need to find the others too. I should appologize to you all." Hmm...that one sounded like he heard it before. "Where's the pride?""
Serenity frowned at the man’s explanation, though she glanced at the woman curiously, “Jail bait? How old exactly are you?” She asked of Deo, giving Remiel that “You better not be some nasty perverted pedophiliac” look. She merely allowed a soft sigh to flutter between her expertly glossed lips, lifting her left, ring finger missing hand to shove at a few platinum blond locks, her trademark scent of vanilla and tiger lilies floating softly around her. “You –need- to apologize? That must mean you are being forced to...not that you actually mean it..." She raised an eyebrow once again, questioning.
Deoridhe stamps a foot, wringing out her handkerchief with one hand and setting down her stuffed teddy bear. "I'm twenty-two!" she snaps, walking over to Remiel and looking at his cheek. "Hold still," she adds, lifting up the damp handkerchief to wash off his face.
Remiel Labou: "Was letting Deo wash his face ..was even crouched slightly so she didnt need to be on her tippy toes.....but as he heard Ser he panicked. Lunged for her and straddled her lap. "You have to believe me!" Voice rising and dropping like a pubecent teen. "You have to, you have to!" He babbled and threw his arms around her to cling..better then socks in the dryer. "You dont understand! You CANT understand! I'm sorry!""
Gage made his way through what he remembered was the older parts of the city, how it has changed in the years he had been there. As he turned the corner he saw the basketball courts, the start of this whole drama with the pride and the vamps. He leaned against the fence and just let out a long breath, what was he gonna do. He had lost a friend with Hik, or so it seemed and well the vamps didn’t have their backs any more
Serenity had been stretched out languidly around the curve of the fountain edge, her lithe frame loose and relaxed, even during this little conversation. Her belly bump was prominent as she leaned back, bulging just slightly below her navel, her gaze drawn to it idly here and there…as if she still couldn’t conceive of the child that was supposed to be within her. She chuckled softly at Deo’s petulant exclamation of her age, making Ser smile softly, “You are the same age as my little sister Bliss….and my half sister Harlow…” It was funny that Ser mentioned Harlow, she’d barely thought of the woman since her random appearance a few weeks ago…then utter silence since. A rather loud squeak of alarm would escape the female as Remi literally straddled her like a lover would, knees on either side of her hips, clinging to her small frame as if she could save him from his own personal demons. Her body stiffened and her beasts swirled in the air around them, though she managed to keep them at bay…”Uhm …hi…comfortable?” She frowned down at him, tilting her head back somewhat to look into his eyes, not understanding this fear of his, “Why do I have to believe you….? Did Hikaru do something to you?” She slid a hand up to touch his face gently, the other holding them both up…or else they’d topple into the cold water of the fountain…that would certainly not make this feline very happy."
Deoridhe gapes when Remiel pushes past her, almost tripping over her own feet. She ends up seatedo n the edge of the fountain, just ..... staring. "Um... I think it works better if you don't assault someone while trying to appologize," she says, hesitantly. "Maybe tell her what you're apologizing for? Like... 'I'm sorry I was rude and I'll try to be less rude in the future?'"
Remiel Labou: "Was half laying on Ser at this point and trying not to crush the belly underneath him. "I-it doesnt matter what 'That' vampire did or didnt do...it doesnt! It doesnt...you have to believe me, I need you to believe me, you all do, you have to" He rambled. "IM NOT ASSAULTING HER IM APPOLOGIZING." So he hopes at least. "N-n-no! Dont! Dont t-t-touch." He stammered....its where Hikaru had cupped his face and he still felt like the bastard bitch slapped him with a combo of accid, liquid silver and holy water. "Hurts..I dont want it to hurt any more..""
Serenity listened all through Remiel’s apparent meltdown, though she glanced over his shoulder at Deo quickly from time to time, grimacing in slight confusion before glancing back to the rather insane vampire. Nice vampire…no bite the kitty canine person...she muttered in her head as she removed her hand from the spot she had been touching, sliding to the side of his neck, fingers stroking where a pulse should be gently, her beasts swirling around him, attempting to soothe. “Calm down Remiel…breathe…or…well…I guess you don’t have to breathe…but calm down.” She frowned, looking into his eyes with evident worry. Gah…she felt sorry for the man! After everything he had done, she held compassion for him. She was very aware of how close he was pressed to her, though she didn’t push him away, she merely sighed and lolled her head back somewhat, exposing her neck a bit as she closed her eyes to try and gain composure, she probably looked like the proverbial damsel in distress being attacked by the villain, lovely sight. “I believe you Remiel…I think…but you need to do something for me to keep believing you…well…two things really…” Yep, blackmail at its finest…Ser must have learned a thing or two from her Father, go figure."
Deoridhe shrugs a bit at Serenity, moving around to try to wipe at Remiel's face again. He would feel better once his face was cleaned off, she hoped, And the impersonal touch of the handkercheif didn't seem to be setting him off as much as hands did. "Shhhh," she murmurs, soothingly. "No one's going to hurt you.... the way you are now. Why don't you sit on the edge of the fountain, hmm? And stop, um... straddling her." She begins to blush crimson in slow motion.
Remiel Labou: "Pulse would be pounding under Ser's fingers..racing...he was even SWEATING...panic attack saying 'screw you dead guy!' he felt human to the touch, hot..he WAS breathing..not that he needed to but fear was a fickle thing. "I cant calm down...I dont have time, I need to find the others, I have to appologize, I need to say sorry, I have to find them. Bad things are gonna happen, It's important, it must be done. IT needs to happen now. Where are they? Do you know? Can I see them? Will they believe me you? Do you? Is it gonna be ok? Is it gonna hurt more? Is it gonna hurt again?" Sers eyes meeting his he pulled back a little. "That doesnt matter." With one only one eye that could see he learned to roll a bit differantly. Her head lolling back he bared his fangs slightly, his lips parted at the site. "Dont do that. its not good, not good for either of us." And then she was trying to black mail him. "W-hat?" Eyes narrowing he tenced atop her body.....and then....he was purring at being 'pat' by Deo and cheetah chirped at her once"
Serenity tilted her head back up, staring straight at Remi, “All I want is for you to not talk to my sister, Gage, or even myself the way you have been lately Remiel…especially not them…they have shorter tempers than I do. My other request is that you tell me what Hikaru did to you to make you this frightened…it worries me…” She murmured softly, see? Nothing nefarious…she was just frightened for him. It amazed her that the man WAS actually breathing, or rather hyperventilating…while being on top of her…this was the weirdest night ever. A honest to God hyperventilating vampire…she supposed it was a good thing she didn’t wear crosses else he might not be in too good of a shape right now. Her white blue gaze slid to Deo with a small smile for the girl, “Its okay…he isn’t hurting me…so long as he doesn’t hurt me its fine…I think he needs comforting.” She wasn’t sure, was merely guessing. His words would begin rushing together in a long stream of questions making the panwere blink rapidly, frowning as she tried to decipher each thing he said. “I….I don’t know where they are…my sister is mad, we fought….Gage is hell...I never know where Gage is…” She sighed softly, she knew Rhage wouldn’t forgive him…she wanted to kill him…what was Ser going to do? Damn her soft heartedness. She took pity on him, lifting a hand to trail fingers through his hair gently, blinking at the sweat she felt, the sharp tang of the salty scent hitting her enhanced senses, her nose wrinkling somewhat. “What’s not good? What are you talking about?” A perplexed look on her face as she tilted her head at him, her platinum locks smelling of vanilla and lilies falling over one shoulder gently."
Deoridhe gaped as Remiel.... chirped ...at.... her. She blinks once; twice, then goes back to her cleaning job, continuing even when the blood was cleared as it seemed that, at least, calmed him down. "It's ok," she murmurs softly, keeping that same soothing tone, like a mother might speak to a child waking from a nightmare. "You're all right." Without thinking about it, she leans a little into Serenity as well - the contact soothing her as well. Yay for panwere, mobile, sentient valium!
Remiel Labou: ""I-I don't know,,I dont want to promice and break it...I dont want to." He took promices very seriousely..and he KNEW his own mouth. "I cant promice to never do it again..a-and Gage started with me..I..I was helping Bink, I didnt hurt him, A-and I told him the truth a few nights ago..I-it might have been a bad truth to learn but it was truth." Mostly. "Dont be angry, angry isnt good, it makes things bad again, and they stay that way...thats not good, you dont like that either right?" He tensed at the mention of Hikaru and darted from Ser and Deo...SPLOOSH right in the water as he kicked at Koi to scramble away and dart his eye in every direction. "I will never tell you that." He hissed. "I'll never tell anyone anything about me again." He'd showed a weakness and it had been exploited quickly. He wouldnt make that same mistake again...he showed have know better. "No..it's not alright...it will never be alright.""
Serenity listened to his rambling, frowning when he wouldn’t promise her what she wanted, “Okay..fine…can you promise to –try- not to talk to us like that any more? You know that if you do it will cause problems again….” When she asked about Hikaru his whole demeanor changed, when he pulled away and into the fountain Ser was unfortunately tugged in as well since her fingers hand been tangled in his hair, his knee jostling her smaller body as he pulled away. She fell into the chilly water with a small splash, her clothes becoming soaked, the pretty pink shorts and white tank…her hair! Oh God her hair was soaked and sticking to her face. She squealed and sputtered spitting Koi water as she sat on her knees in the fountain, utterly drenched to the bone. Not happy one bit. “Remiel!” She growled out in frustration, “If you do not tell me what he did I cannot help you, I can’t get him to stop it…they only way he will stop is if we forgive you yes?” She asked him, hating the look on his face…she wasn’t accustomed to people not liking her…well…besides Isabella…but that woman was a whole nother story and one Ser didn’t really care much about."
Deoridhe made a startled, strangled sound when Remiel movea away and Serenity falls into the fountain, her hand hanging in the air a moment with the bloody handkerchief in her hand. "eeep, oh no, are you ok?" she gabbles, offering both hands - bloody handkerchief extra! - to Serenity to try to help her out. "You know, maybe we should get all panicky NOT around a fountain at night."
Gage walks through the city and remembers all the old buildings that have been around. And now this park across from the basketball courts….he slowly made his way to take a trip through it as he spotted Ser first…then the woman from the other night. And lastly Remi….what was she doing near that piece of crap, hopefully about to rip his throat out…he walked over, his face neutral, coming into their line of sight
Remiel Labou: ""I..I can try.." He allowed. "A little..erm..I can do better?" He nodded. "Y-yes...better." Mr nice person? Neeewp not gonna happen....but he can try to insult maybe only every other time! That seemed fare enough...Yelled at though he just balled himself up some. "I dont like it either!" He HATED being cold. HATED it....and his body was jerking from frozen nerves...near seezing in the water. "No, no I wont tell you..It doesnt matter. Its none of your buisness." IT wasnt snarked, it was actually more matter of fact. ""Y-yes..I-....I just want you to-": And then Gage appeared. He could smell him. Eeeew if it were any other time he'd be telling the officer he really needed a shower. As it was he was only slipping and slidding in the koi pond up passed Ser, used Deo's head as a door nob lift and and ran over to wetly snug a Gage. (I can roll if you want) "I'm sorry!""
Serenity sighed as she heard his words, though she was a shifter, she could sense his mood, and it told her that where he would try…that didn’t actually mean he would try hard, or even succeed. She sighed. What would they do? She supposed it would be easy enough to be the bigger person, to ignore him…but Rhage…her temper wouldn’t allow it. She sighed again. This was going to be pure hell. The panwere grumbled and slid herself out of the koi fountain, sending a small weak smile of thanks to Deo, though she didn’t bother letting the girl help, Ser didn’t want to get her wet on such a chilly night. Teeth would chatter as she slid her goose bumped arms around her tiny soaked frame, white thank top clinging to her every curve, virtually see through now, jean shorts sagging and dripping ice cold water droplets down her legs to pool on the straps of her stilettos. Just great. She tried to take a step and her feet squelched inside of her designer shoes, sliding and causing the feline’s feet to move sideways, tripping her. “Ugh!” She grumbled as she deftly kicked the offensive shoes off…there went a good five hundred dollars down the drain, the cloth straps were soaked and fraying. When Ramiel ran and hugged Gage Ser stiffened, white blue orbs wide as she bent down to retrieve the murdered shoes, holding them by her fingertips as she sent her lioness to soothe Gage automatically without thinking, “He really is sorry Gage, no matter how twisted it seems…he is…just…forgive him okay? For me?” She murmured, knowing he would hear her….she needed him to do this…to get past all the petty bullshit from these past few weeks."
Deoridhe gasped as Remiel used her as a ...railing? And then... and then... and then.... She can't help it. She starts to giggle at the sight of Remiel - Remiel of all people - trying to hug Gage. She leans against the fountain, almost missing Serenity's exit from the fountain, her laughter thoroughly taking over until she's sagging, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Gage looked down at the vampire as she came and hugged him. He looked up to Ser hearing and feeling her, it didn’t matter at this point. He pushed off the vamp and wiped off his uniform shirt “and why in the ancestors name would I forgive this guy for the hell he has put us through in the past few days, if anything since he doesn’t have Hik to protect him, maybe I shoed give him a bloody eye.” He looked at Remi again with annoyance then looked back to Ser, feeling her beast trying to get to him, his own beast was growling at the chance to eat this one’s face “ i should forgive him even if he is twisted…hmm that sounds like going to find the good doctor and tell him ‘hey no hard feelings for all that you have done” he shook his head “ I don’t think so”
Remiel Labou: "Tensed as he was shoved off...more so as he was threatened..he made a small growl but glanced side ways. He needed them to forgive him...and it was snuffing his pride. "I need you to forgive me....I am sorry." Sorry it came to this certainly. "I'm not going to fight you lion. I just want forgiveness.""
Serenity let out a soft, frustrated sigh as she allowed her gaze to slide to Deo momentarily, shaking her head at the girl’s amusement before Ser pushed her beast at Gage’s attempting to calm him. She shivered as she walked over towards the two, sliding up behind Gage, leaning against his arm so that she could lean up to whisper in his ear, not that Remi wouldn’t be able to hear anyways, “Gage. Please…don’t provoke him…I’ll tell you later what I think but right now I’m asking you to please….-please- forgive him…” She murmured, white blue gaze on Remiel as she kept her lioness circling and nuzzling at Gage’s, trying to control his anger and soothe it…if her twin’s energy worked on him well as his Mate, wouldn’t Ser’s have somewhat of a good chance of helping being as they were identical? Who knows…Ser only hoped…she was grasping at straws…she didn’t want Gage to attack Remiel, or vice versa…she just wanted peace.
Deoridhe wipes her eyes, pushing herself upright as the occassional giggle still escapes her lips. Then she goes to retrieve her teddy bear, rather glad shes's the only dry one left of the bunch. Settling on the fountain, she higs her bear to her chest and tucks her chin against the top of it's head to hide a yawn.
Gage quirked an eyebrow at the vamp” you want…you need forgivness..well I think ill quote you from yesterday ‘go fuck yourself” you fucking slept with my wife and had the nerve to fucking brag about it to my face. Sorry but for you I am fresh out of forgiveness” he then looked to Ser,” and this isn’t provoking, it is just fucking karma, and if it is so damn important that I forgive him, what is the big secret that has to wait” he looked to her, he was frustrated, even with her beast coming to him trying to calm him down, nah this little vamp isn’t getting off that easy just because he needs Gage to forgive him
Remiel Labou: ""...And you slept with another woman while you were married...wouldnt that...kind of make it even?" Baaaad Remi foocuuuus. "Besides...lions all sleep together dont they?" ....Explain idiot..."You know..cuddle?" Huzzuh! GEtting better. "Isnt it how you bond? Like grroming." And licking ourself...buuut he wise enough to leave that one out. "She was helping me recover. I am actual fond of her and her bump." He gave a small even caring smile about the unborn baby. "I told you I didnt hurt her. We shared the same bed, I wouldnt sleep on the floor." Was he making progress any more?"
Serenity wanted to put her hands in her face and fling her shoes at Remi’s face simultaneously as he blurted out that very first sentence. God was it really –THAT- hard for him to be civil? He didn’t even have to be nice…just…not be such a douche monkey. She kept her anger in check, fingers tightening on the soaking cloth straps as her white blue orbs bore into his while he rambled about lions and their habits, wisely, she didn’t comment…if she had it might have made the whole situation worse. Ser merely pressed her familiar energy around Gage more; it was cloying and suffocating in a good way, trying to get his attention like “Hey! Look at me…let’s gone home and ignore this bone head…” Would it work? One could only hope.
Deoridhe shakes her head a little, hiding another yawn. She shifts a little; stands up; stretches; decides vampy TV is done for the night, and begins to pick her way out of the park. She gives Serenity a smile; doesn't bother to try to get Remiel's attention, and peers at Gage a bit curiously but decides he looks too pissed.
Gage would let out a growl as he blurted out his first comment. His beast would growl as well and his skin would get hot to the touch. Sers best once again was there to try and calm him”then why in the world would you purposefully make it seem worse than ‘you’ say it was. Just to get a rise out of me…..” he shook his head and the idea of leaving this doushbag seemed like a good plan. He looked back to Remi “ trust and forgiveness is something that has to be earned, so I suggest you get to thinking “he would slowly turn to the exit of the part to make his way home
Remiel Labou: ""...It didnt appear that hard to do." There was ALOT more he wanted to say but left it there....and then Gage tried to leave. "N-no! Y-you dont have to trust me..I-I wouldnt expect that..ever, I wouldnt trust you eithre." Heh he was starting to babble again.. "I-I just want f-forgiveness..." Everyone preached being the bigger man and no one ever took it...funny that. "S-stop!" He reached to try and hold Gage again...to wrap his arms around his waist as he walked away. "I dont know what to do..I'm trying..I am..." He'd nuzzle the mans back if he got it, "I dont know what to do""
Serenity watched the goings on in silence now, only her lioness energy floating around, wrapping around her Rex soothingly allowed everyone to know she was here. Her white blue gaze stayed on Remi as he began babbling once more, her eyes softening with pity…she felt bad for him, for whatever it was that Hikaru had done to him to force him to apologize which was apparently so against his nature. When Gage spoke Ser stood rigid at his back, so tiny and delicate beside these two giant men. The goosebumps on her skin from the icy cold water worsened as a soft breeze began to blow in the night, causing Ser’s normally bronzed skin to take on a shade of blue…cold and shifters was not a good mix…especially tiny pregnant ones in wet clothes out on a chilly spring evening bare foot. Nope. Not good at all. She shivered; soft whimper escaping her lips as her teeth chattered, watching the two in relative silence besides that. She had turned on her bare heel when Gage chose to leave, she would follow him of course though she jumped when Remiel attached himself to Gage, her white blue orbs widening as she stood there, worrying the lip ring on her bottom lip as she kept her energy suffocatingly close to Gage to try and calm his temper…she knew this was going to piss him off. “Remiel…I wouldn’t do that…give him time okay?” She murmured…"
Gage looks down at the arms around his waist and then looking back over his shoulder and the growls as Remi holds onto him.” I suggest you let me go now before you loose one of those arms, as I said before, just because you need it or want it that doesn’t mean it’ll be given to you. You have to earn it, and your mouth moving and you keep saying your smart wise, isn’t a good start to that” he tried to then pry the arms off of him so that he could leave
Remiel Labou: "Clutched tighter...he had to..he was desperate and he didnt know what else to do. "I cant go back..." If he went back and told Hikaru he'd failed'..."You have to believe me!" And his blood tears started again...probably soaking threw Gages shirt and staining it. "W-what do you want from me?" He had to think of something...but his brain couldnt function passed fear...despoeration..."I cant go back....he-he...""
Serenity shook her head lightly, damp platinum blonde locks bouncing about bare goose bump covered blue tinted shoulders causing icy drips of water to roll down her skin, making the panwere shake with cold. Ugh. She wanted a hot shower, food, and bed…and Jared in all honesty, even if she was pissy with him for not contacting her in over a day. She was cursing the cold, the water, Remiel for knocking her into the fountain all at once in her mind as she stood there, hopping from foot to foot to get warm, white blue orbs slightly glassy as she stared at the scene spread before her. She watched Gage try to shake the clinging vampire off and shook her head with a sigh when Remiel only clung harder, crying his blood tears again and smearing them on Gage’s shirt. She’d wrinkle her nose as the metallic scent of blood her her…not helping what would happen next…it was like Smell-O-Vision! Out of nowhere thoughts and memories rushed into her mind, blinding the panwere with slowly forgotten pain from the twins’ weeks at the clinic. The images were so vivid, the fear and pain so strong that Ser could taste it on the tip of her tongue…but it wasn’t her own…it was her twin’s. She cried out softly, lifting her hands to her eyes, stiletto heels bouncing against her arms as she turned in the direction of home, heart beating fast, body twitching and trembling uncontrollably, “Rhage…” She murmured…her twin had to be dreaming…right? The clinic didn’t have her again did they? Ser’s fear was now tangible as she ignored the men at her side, she moved quickly through the gates headed home…Rhage would be there…she kept murmuring to herself, sending her energy out searching through the town to the house, seeking that warmth that she knew would be her twin."
Gage looked down as he started to cry, blood, great the shirt is ruined. He could not say anything wasnt true now, like now he was just a pain and that he needed to try better than this pity sorry oh poor me bit. He looked down at Remi” I will ask you one more time to let go of me. Then he saw Ser start to try and heard her say it was Rhage, he as well sent out his beast to try and reach her to try and give her a little bit of comforting
Remiel Labou: "Alone...he was alone. The lions were gone, and he'd accomplished nothing...He had blood tears staining his face and clothes and had begged publicly. And they'd all walked off...Remiel wondered when he'd see more of people then then just turning their back on him. "What am I going to do?" He HAD to talk to Hikaru....he was supposed to report back...but...he was petrified of going to Fang Bangers...to the office...to. "Cell phone.." He had to report back...Hikaru didnt say he HAD to meet him at the office..well..yet. Calling the Number Hikaru had given him a few days..months? Something ago. "H-hey..i-i-ts me..I...I tried b-b-b-ut...it didnt go well..""
Hikaru pulled his phone out of his back pocket, pulling it to his ear, he didn't bother checking who it was. "Hikaru." His voice quiet as he answered, his heart clenching at Remiel's voice. "I saw that." Though oddly, he didn't sound upset or angry.
Rhage Terasaur: Tension kept her shaking body tightly curled up as she listened to the doc’s assistant laughing at her, his twisted laughter grating through waves of pain as he persistently sought to drag a scream from her. The weeks had gone by slowly, and through each new bit of torture a raw fury had built as she had kept her silence. The coppery scent of fresh blood welled as he pulled strip after strip of skin away, exposing muscle and bone that never should have greeted the world above. And she finally screamed for him. Rhage showed no recognition of anyone moving about the house, or even the cursing when Ser found her door locked. She didn’t hear the lock give, or feel the motions of the bed. A scream tore from her throat as her twin shook her. Touch, the nearness of her twin, safe and okay… albeit a bit soggy… did more to bring consciousness back than the shaking. Blinking glassy, unfocused eyes open, she still made small, very un-Rhage-like sounds in the aftermath of the memory.
Serenity fought the memories, trying to shove them out of her own mind before they drove her insane, these sickening clips like some sort of warped home movies. She shook and shook her twin, begging her to wake up, to stop projecting those memories, the pain, the scent of blood…it was all too much for Ser...she'd been meticulously shoving the memories and raw pain of those weeks kept in seclusion, tortured and mutilated, to the back of her mind in some safe quiet, cobwebbed filled place that she’d never happen upon again…and now, they were back. She shook, staring at her twin when she made soft little noises of fear, pain, eyes opening. The panwere gathered her sister up in her arms, hugging her close as she rocked back and forth uncaring of her soaked clothes that were creating a very big wet patch of blankets beneath them. “Sissy…” Ser murmured as she stared at her twin, fear, pain, regret all evident in her glittering white blue orbs.
Rhage Terasaur let her twin hold her, both of them shaking violently. Rhage’s hot, clammy skin was a painful contrast to Ser’s chilled wet skin and after several minutes of tension, Rhage grew quiet. Her body ached as she let the tension slide from it, and makeup no longer hid the tell-tale hollows beneath her eyes. “I’m sorry,” she whispered, her voice a barely there thread of sound in the quiet house.
Serenity reluctantly let go of the clutching hold she had around her twin, letting her lean back into a more comfortable position as Ser herself sat back, drawing her knees up to her chest in a very vulnerable pose, white blue orbs shimmering with unshed tears. “Sorry for what?” Ser murmured quietly, not quite sure what it was her twin was apologizing for…it wasn’t Rhage’s fault that she had nightmares…Ser had them from time to time as well, but Jared had always been there to charm her out of them…though not lately…he’d been gone a lot. The panwere shook her head, refusing to dwell on the Jared situation, it wasn’t what was important right now, her twin was. Wet clothes were momentarily forgotten.
Rhage Terasaur scooted to the headboard, piled high with way too many pillows, and picked one of the many to lean against. She gestured to the thick fluffy white blanket at the foot of the bed, and curled up into the pillows. Her skin was a little too pale and her breaths were a little too shallow still as her clouded gaze looked at nothing in particular. What was she sorry for? She thought in the silence that drug out… All of it… “My fault,” her voice murmured almost inaudibly. Her fault… everything from sleeping in her room, knowing it brought back those memories, to the night they were taken… it was her fault. It was no wonder her twin rebelled against her this morning regarding the asshat vampire. She hadn’t been much of a leader. All her thoughts flickered through her eyes to be read easily in their hazed depths. Part of her wanted to fall back into a much needed, hopefully restful sleep, but she didn’t dare. Not here.
Rhage Terasaur: Her hands rested lightly on the mound of her belly, drawing attention to it as she thoughtlessly caressed it, as though it were the babies that had the bad dream rather than her. It was a gesture she rarely gave into, and was telling in how much she already loved the babies she didn’t know yet. She was already growing bigger than Ser, but they knew about the twins, so it wasn’t surprising. Much.
Serenity watched her twin, glacier orbs glued to their identical pair as she watched each emotion, every thought flicker through them, her twin’s response making her frown somewhat as she shook her head, “Nothing was your fault, stop blaming yourself.” Her gaze took in the sterile room with a slight shudder, perhaps they would need to repaint it soon. Her gaze moved to the comforter her twin motioned to and Ser would move it out of the way so that it didn’t get soaked like the sheets beneath her, an idea forming. “Why don’t you move to my room? We’ll both sleep in there since Jared is…well…gone.” She sighed glancing at the door then back to her twin, “I need a hot shower and some dry clean clothes then I will join you and we can finally get some sleep…” She murmured hopeful that her twin would take the branch she held out to her, gaze watching her closely as she waited for the answer. Eventually her twin came through and agreed, though hesitantly at first, but her wariness overrode her sense of pride. So Ser helped her twin to the bedroom, noting the slight size difference in their bellies with a soft smile as she placed her twin in the big comfy bed full of pillows that drove Jared endlessly crazy. Once situated and comfortable Ser left the room to shower and change into warm clothes, even blow drying her hair so that she didn’t go to bed with it wet. Once finished the panwere climbed into bed and snuggled close to her twin beneath the king sized fluffy down comforter, slowly falling to sleep with the ridiculous thought of whether the down comforter was swan feathers or not…"
Remiel Labou: ""Im fine..I'm fine" She was fussing like a mother hun. All just because he looked messy and face stubbled and crying blood. Women! But as they rounded the corner to the falls and fountain Remiel tensed. "Lion." He clipped threw his fangs. He looked more ready to eat it then appologize...but he also looked a bit put off by the idea of closer...had Hikaru set him up? What was happening now? Would the lions except his appology? "Stay." He told Deo and let her go....pat at her hair once 'good puppy' and walked closer towards Ser. It was then he and Hikaru forgot to realize. He didnt know HOW to appologize. "Sorry?""
Serenity had been sitting and staring at the crystal clear water spurting forth from the pretty fountain for some time, lost in thoughts that she really would rather have forgotten. One hand swished slowly through the cool water making figure eights idly while her lioness stared at the shiny koi fish that floated lazily through the water. The panwere shook her head with a soft, amused chuckle at her cat, though her wolf slept at her side, bored…guess she wasn’t into fish. It took a minute for Ser to tug her mind from her thoughts, feeling much like wading through a pool filled with molasses as she turned the full force of her glittering blue white orbs on the two that had dared to intrude upon her peacefulness. If one were to look closer the glittering effect in her eyes were unshed tears, how interesting. The panwere didn’t need to expend energy, she hadn’t needed to scent the air or even glance to where the two people stood…their voices were enough to let her know who had happened upon her. Remiel and Deo. Fun. She had no qualms with the colorfully dressed fairy girl, but the vampire…well now we all knew the stories about him. His one word, sorry, caught her attention, perfectly sculpted eyebrow lifting in a slightly perplexed manner, “Beg your pardon?” She asked clearly, why would he be speaking to her? Ser didn’t even think that he knew that word to begin with."
Deoridhe says, soothingly, "Um... Ass....sir... that is a woman, not a lion." She looks after him, worried for the damn asshole like a moron. She pulls on a curl of her hair, offering Serenity a confused smile. "I think he's ....hurt."
Remiel Labou: "Thats just what they tell the humans." Remiel muttered. "She's a lion." And something else, but the something else he still couldnt figure out. "Arnt you thankful that your lied to....so that you can sleep at night?" Pulling from DEo altogether he stood a little bit closer to Ser but still stayed an arms length away. "Sorry." He repeated...he knew it was an appropriate word...it was the 'make an appropriate sentence that was harder. "I'm sorry" Still not quite a sentence. "For, you know" PRogress!"
Serenity stared at Remiel with utter irritation, did he just seriously give her private secret away to a human? “I don’t know what you are talking about, a lion…really? Are you on drugs Remiel?” She laughed good naturedly as she crossed one long, tan leg over the other, heels clicking against one another lightly, though her white blue orbs stared into his with a look that clearly said “SHUT UP YOU MORON!”…she wasn’t trying to be rude, and yes she had outed herself in town many times…but people were beginning to forget…and new people were coming that didn’t know her secrets. She smiled weakly at Deo, giving the woman a playful wink, “He must be…” her gaze took in his blood stained cheeks and eyes, frowning slightly, her caring nature taking over….damn pregnancy horomones….damn pharmaceutical degree. “Why do you keep repeating sorry?” She asked, she didn’t delude herself…he couldn’t be apologizing to her…he hated her…though God knew why.
Deoridhe shifts a little, looking between the two of them with a look of utter bafflement on her face. "Whatever," she mutters, moving toward the fountain to wet her handkerchief before turning to look at Remiel with a brow raised.
Remiel Labou: "Shrugged....he didnt care anymore. "It's not like she doesnt see things anyway." He figured she might as well be able to see poofy white animal clouds or something. "Maybe she'll think she's dreaming again." Humans always rationalized the paranormal away anyway."Right JAil Bait?"At Ser's questioning he almost looked a bit frantic. "Because I am?" Even if it was half posed as a question. "I need to appologize, and I need to find the others too. I should appologize to you all." Hmm...that one sounded like he heard it before. "Where's the pride?""
Serenity frowned at the man’s explanation, though she glanced at the woman curiously, “Jail bait? How old exactly are you?” She asked of Deo, giving Remiel that “You better not be some nasty perverted pedophiliac” look. She merely allowed a soft sigh to flutter between her expertly glossed lips, lifting her left, ring finger missing hand to shove at a few platinum blond locks, her trademark scent of vanilla and tiger lilies floating softly around her. “You –need- to apologize? That must mean you are being forced to...not that you actually mean it..." She raised an eyebrow once again, questioning.
Deoridhe stamps a foot, wringing out her handkerchief with one hand and setting down her stuffed teddy bear. "I'm twenty-two!" she snaps, walking over to Remiel and looking at his cheek. "Hold still," she adds, lifting up the damp handkerchief to wash off his face.
Remiel Labou: "Was letting Deo wash his face ..was even crouched slightly so she didnt need to be on her tippy toes.....but as he heard Ser he panicked. Lunged for her and straddled her lap. "You have to believe me!" Voice rising and dropping like a pubecent teen. "You have to, you have to!" He babbled and threw his arms around her to cling..better then socks in the dryer. "You dont understand! You CANT understand! I'm sorry!""
Gage made his way through what he remembered was the older parts of the city, how it has changed in the years he had been there. As he turned the corner he saw the basketball courts, the start of this whole drama with the pride and the vamps. He leaned against the fence and just let out a long breath, what was he gonna do. He had lost a friend with Hik, or so it seemed and well the vamps didn’t have their backs any more
Serenity had been stretched out languidly around the curve of the fountain edge, her lithe frame loose and relaxed, even during this little conversation. Her belly bump was prominent as she leaned back, bulging just slightly below her navel, her gaze drawn to it idly here and there…as if she still couldn’t conceive of the child that was supposed to be within her. She chuckled softly at Deo’s petulant exclamation of her age, making Ser smile softly, “You are the same age as my little sister Bliss….and my half sister Harlow…” It was funny that Ser mentioned Harlow, she’d barely thought of the woman since her random appearance a few weeks ago…then utter silence since. A rather loud squeak of alarm would escape the female as Remi literally straddled her like a lover would, knees on either side of her hips, clinging to her small frame as if she could save him from his own personal demons. Her body stiffened and her beasts swirled in the air around them, though she managed to keep them at bay…”Uhm …hi…comfortable?” She frowned down at him, tilting her head back somewhat to look into his eyes, not understanding this fear of his, “Why do I have to believe you….? Did Hikaru do something to you?” She slid a hand up to touch his face gently, the other holding them both up…or else they’d topple into the cold water of the fountain…that would certainly not make this feline very happy."
Deoridhe gapes when Remiel pushes past her, almost tripping over her own feet. She ends up seatedo n the edge of the fountain, just ..... staring. "Um... I think it works better if you don't assault someone while trying to appologize," she says, hesitantly. "Maybe tell her what you're apologizing for? Like... 'I'm sorry I was rude and I'll try to be less rude in the future?'"
Remiel Labou: "Was half laying on Ser at this point and trying not to crush the belly underneath him. "I-it doesnt matter what 'That' vampire did or didnt do...it doesnt! It doesnt...you have to believe me, I need you to believe me, you all do, you have to" He rambled. "IM NOT ASSAULTING HER IM APPOLOGIZING." So he hopes at least. "N-n-no! Dont! Dont t-t-touch." He stammered....its where Hikaru had cupped his face and he still felt like the bastard bitch slapped him with a combo of accid, liquid silver and holy water. "Hurts..I dont want it to hurt any more..""
Serenity listened all through Remiel’s apparent meltdown, though she glanced over his shoulder at Deo quickly from time to time, grimacing in slight confusion before glancing back to the rather insane vampire. Nice vampire…no bite the kitty canine person...she muttered in her head as she removed her hand from the spot she had been touching, sliding to the side of his neck, fingers stroking where a pulse should be gently, her beasts swirling around him, attempting to soothe. “Calm down Remiel…breathe…or…well…I guess you don’t have to breathe…but calm down.” She frowned, looking into his eyes with evident worry. Gah…she felt sorry for the man! After everything he had done, she held compassion for him. She was very aware of how close he was pressed to her, though she didn’t push him away, she merely sighed and lolled her head back somewhat, exposing her neck a bit as she closed her eyes to try and gain composure, she probably looked like the proverbial damsel in distress being attacked by the villain, lovely sight. “I believe you Remiel…I think…but you need to do something for me to keep believing you…well…two things really…” Yep, blackmail at its finest…Ser must have learned a thing or two from her Father, go figure."
Deoridhe shrugs a bit at Serenity, moving around to try to wipe at Remiel's face again. He would feel better once his face was cleaned off, she hoped, And the impersonal touch of the handkercheif didn't seem to be setting him off as much as hands did. "Shhhh," she murmurs, soothingly. "No one's going to hurt you.... the way you are now. Why don't you sit on the edge of the fountain, hmm? And stop, um... straddling her." She begins to blush crimson in slow motion.
Remiel Labou: "Pulse would be pounding under Ser's fingers..racing...he was even SWEATING...panic attack saying 'screw you dead guy!' he felt human to the touch, hot..he WAS breathing..not that he needed to but fear was a fickle thing. "I cant calm down...I dont have time, I need to find the others, I have to appologize, I need to say sorry, I have to find them. Bad things are gonna happen, It's important, it must be done. IT needs to happen now. Where are they? Do you know? Can I see them? Will they believe me you? Do you? Is it gonna be ok? Is it gonna hurt more? Is it gonna hurt again?" Sers eyes meeting his he pulled back a little. "That doesnt matter." With one only one eye that could see he learned to roll a bit differantly. Her head lolling back he bared his fangs slightly, his lips parted at the site. "Dont do that. its not good, not good for either of us." And then she was trying to black mail him. "W-hat?" Eyes narrowing he tenced atop her body.....and then....he was purring at being 'pat' by Deo and cheetah chirped at her once"
Serenity tilted her head back up, staring straight at Remi, “All I want is for you to not talk to my sister, Gage, or even myself the way you have been lately Remiel…especially not them…they have shorter tempers than I do. My other request is that you tell me what Hikaru did to you to make you this frightened…it worries me…” She murmured softly, see? Nothing nefarious…she was just frightened for him. It amazed her that the man WAS actually breathing, or rather hyperventilating…while being on top of her…this was the weirdest night ever. A honest to God hyperventilating vampire…she supposed it was a good thing she didn’t wear crosses else he might not be in too good of a shape right now. Her white blue gaze slid to Deo with a small smile for the girl, “Its okay…he isn’t hurting me…so long as he doesn’t hurt me its fine…I think he needs comforting.” She wasn’t sure, was merely guessing. His words would begin rushing together in a long stream of questions making the panwere blink rapidly, frowning as she tried to decipher each thing he said. “I….I don’t know where they are…my sister is mad, we fought….Gage is hell...I never know where Gage is…” She sighed softly, she knew Rhage wouldn’t forgive him…she wanted to kill him…what was Ser going to do? Damn her soft heartedness. She took pity on him, lifting a hand to trail fingers through his hair gently, blinking at the sweat she felt, the sharp tang of the salty scent hitting her enhanced senses, her nose wrinkling somewhat. “What’s not good? What are you talking about?” A perplexed look on her face as she tilted her head at him, her platinum locks smelling of vanilla and lilies falling over one shoulder gently."
Deoridhe gaped as Remiel.... chirped ...at.... her. She blinks once; twice, then goes back to her cleaning job, continuing even when the blood was cleared as it seemed that, at least, calmed him down. "It's ok," she murmurs softly, keeping that same soothing tone, like a mother might speak to a child waking from a nightmare. "You're all right." Without thinking about it, she leans a little into Serenity as well - the contact soothing her as well. Yay for panwere, mobile, sentient valium!
Remiel Labou: ""I-I don't know,,I dont want to promice and break it...I dont want to." He took promices very seriousely..and he KNEW his own mouth. "I cant promice to never do it again..a-and Gage started with me..I..I was helping Bink, I didnt hurt him, A-and I told him the truth a few nights ago..I-it might have been a bad truth to learn but it was truth." Mostly. "Dont be angry, angry isnt good, it makes things bad again, and they stay that way...thats not good, you dont like that either right?" He tensed at the mention of Hikaru and darted from Ser and Deo...SPLOOSH right in the water as he kicked at Koi to scramble away and dart his eye in every direction. "I will never tell you that." He hissed. "I'll never tell anyone anything about me again." He'd showed a weakness and it had been exploited quickly. He wouldnt make that same mistake again...he showed have know better. "No..it's not alright...it will never be alright.""
Serenity listened to his rambling, frowning when he wouldn’t promise her what she wanted, “Okay..fine…can you promise to –try- not to talk to us like that any more? You know that if you do it will cause problems again….” When she asked about Hikaru his whole demeanor changed, when he pulled away and into the fountain Ser was unfortunately tugged in as well since her fingers hand been tangled in his hair, his knee jostling her smaller body as he pulled away. She fell into the chilly water with a small splash, her clothes becoming soaked, the pretty pink shorts and white tank…her hair! Oh God her hair was soaked and sticking to her face. She squealed and sputtered spitting Koi water as she sat on her knees in the fountain, utterly drenched to the bone. Not happy one bit. “Remiel!” She growled out in frustration, “If you do not tell me what he did I cannot help you, I can’t get him to stop it…they only way he will stop is if we forgive you yes?” She asked him, hating the look on his face…she wasn’t accustomed to people not liking her…well…besides Isabella…but that woman was a whole nother story and one Ser didn’t really care much about."
Deoridhe made a startled, strangled sound when Remiel movea away and Serenity falls into the fountain, her hand hanging in the air a moment with the bloody handkerchief in her hand. "eeep, oh no, are you ok?" she gabbles, offering both hands - bloody handkerchief extra! - to Serenity to try to help her out. "You know, maybe we should get all panicky NOT around a fountain at night."
Gage walks through the city and remembers all the old buildings that have been around. And now this park across from the basketball courts….he slowly made his way to take a trip through it as he spotted Ser first…then the woman from the other night. And lastly Remi….what was she doing near that piece of crap, hopefully about to rip his throat out…he walked over, his face neutral, coming into their line of sight
Remiel Labou: ""I..I can try.." He allowed. "A little..erm..I can do better?" He nodded. "Y-yes...better." Mr nice person? Neeewp not gonna happen....but he can try to insult maybe only every other time! That seemed fare enough...Yelled at though he just balled himself up some. "I dont like it either!" He HATED being cold. HATED it....and his body was jerking from frozen nerves...near seezing in the water. "No, no I wont tell you..It doesnt matter. Its none of your buisness." IT wasnt snarked, it was actually more matter of fact. ""Y-yes..I-....I just want you to-": And then Gage appeared. He could smell him. Eeeew if it were any other time he'd be telling the officer he really needed a shower. As it was he was only slipping and slidding in the koi pond up passed Ser, used Deo's head as a door nob lift and and ran over to wetly snug a Gage. (I can roll if you want) "I'm sorry!""
Serenity sighed as she heard his words, though she was a shifter, she could sense his mood, and it told her that where he would try…that didn’t actually mean he would try hard, or even succeed. She sighed. What would they do? She supposed it would be easy enough to be the bigger person, to ignore him…but Rhage…her temper wouldn’t allow it. She sighed again. This was going to be pure hell. The panwere grumbled and slid herself out of the koi fountain, sending a small weak smile of thanks to Deo, though she didn’t bother letting the girl help, Ser didn’t want to get her wet on such a chilly night. Teeth would chatter as she slid her goose bumped arms around her tiny soaked frame, white thank top clinging to her every curve, virtually see through now, jean shorts sagging and dripping ice cold water droplets down her legs to pool on the straps of her stilettos. Just great. She tried to take a step and her feet squelched inside of her designer shoes, sliding and causing the feline’s feet to move sideways, tripping her. “Ugh!” She grumbled as she deftly kicked the offensive shoes off…there went a good five hundred dollars down the drain, the cloth straps were soaked and fraying. When Ramiel ran and hugged Gage Ser stiffened, white blue orbs wide as she bent down to retrieve the murdered shoes, holding them by her fingertips as she sent her lioness to soothe Gage automatically without thinking, “He really is sorry Gage, no matter how twisted it seems…he is…just…forgive him okay? For me?” She murmured, knowing he would hear her….she needed him to do this…to get past all the petty bullshit from these past few weeks."
Deoridhe gasped as Remiel used her as a ...railing? And then... and then... and then.... She can't help it. She starts to giggle at the sight of Remiel - Remiel of all people - trying to hug Gage. She leans against the fountain, almost missing Serenity's exit from the fountain, her laughter thoroughly taking over until she's sagging, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Gage looked down at the vampire as she came and hugged him. He looked up to Ser hearing and feeling her, it didn’t matter at this point. He pushed off the vamp and wiped off his uniform shirt “and why in the ancestors name would I forgive this guy for the hell he has put us through in the past few days, if anything since he doesn’t have Hik to protect him, maybe I shoed give him a bloody eye.” He looked at Remi again with annoyance then looked back to Ser, feeling her beast trying to get to him, his own beast was growling at the chance to eat this one’s face “ i should forgive him even if he is twisted…hmm that sounds like going to find the good doctor and tell him ‘hey no hard feelings for all that you have done” he shook his head “ I don’t think so”
Remiel Labou: "Tensed as he was shoved off...more so as he was threatened..he made a small growl but glanced side ways. He needed them to forgive him...and it was snuffing his pride. "I need you to forgive me....I am sorry." Sorry it came to this certainly. "I'm not going to fight you lion. I just want forgiveness.""
Serenity let out a soft, frustrated sigh as she allowed her gaze to slide to Deo momentarily, shaking her head at the girl’s amusement before Ser pushed her beast at Gage’s attempting to calm him. She shivered as she walked over towards the two, sliding up behind Gage, leaning against his arm so that she could lean up to whisper in his ear, not that Remi wouldn’t be able to hear anyways, “Gage. Please…don’t provoke him…I’ll tell you later what I think but right now I’m asking you to please….-please- forgive him…” She murmured, white blue gaze on Remiel as she kept her lioness circling and nuzzling at Gage’s, trying to control his anger and soothe it…if her twin’s energy worked on him well as his Mate, wouldn’t Ser’s have somewhat of a good chance of helping being as they were identical? Who knows…Ser only hoped…she was grasping at straws…she didn’t want Gage to attack Remiel, or vice versa…she just wanted peace.
Deoridhe wipes her eyes, pushing herself upright as the occassional giggle still escapes her lips. Then she goes to retrieve her teddy bear, rather glad shes's the only dry one left of the bunch. Settling on the fountain, she higs her bear to her chest and tucks her chin against the top of it's head to hide a yawn.
Gage quirked an eyebrow at the vamp” you want…you need forgivness..well I think ill quote you from yesterday ‘go fuck yourself” you fucking slept with my wife and had the nerve to fucking brag about it to my face. Sorry but for you I am fresh out of forgiveness” he then looked to Ser,” and this isn’t provoking, it is just fucking karma, and if it is so damn important that I forgive him, what is the big secret that has to wait” he looked to her, he was frustrated, even with her beast coming to him trying to calm him down, nah this little vamp isn’t getting off that easy just because he needs Gage to forgive him
Remiel Labou: ""...And you slept with another woman while you were married...wouldnt that...kind of make it even?" Baaaad Remi foocuuuus. "Besides...lions all sleep together dont they?" ....Explain idiot..."You know..cuddle?" Huzzuh! GEtting better. "Isnt it how you bond? Like grroming." And licking ourself...buuut he wise enough to leave that one out. "She was helping me recover. I am actual fond of her and her bump." He gave a small even caring smile about the unborn baby. "I told you I didnt hurt her. We shared the same bed, I wouldnt sleep on the floor." Was he making progress any more?"
Serenity wanted to put her hands in her face and fling her shoes at Remi’s face simultaneously as he blurted out that very first sentence. God was it really –THAT- hard for him to be civil? He didn’t even have to be nice…just…not be such a douche monkey. She kept her anger in check, fingers tightening on the soaking cloth straps as her white blue orbs bore into his while he rambled about lions and their habits, wisely, she didn’t comment…if she had it might have made the whole situation worse. Ser merely pressed her familiar energy around Gage more; it was cloying and suffocating in a good way, trying to get his attention like “Hey! Look at me…let’s gone home and ignore this bone head…” Would it work? One could only hope.
Deoridhe shakes her head a little, hiding another yawn. She shifts a little; stands up; stretches; decides vampy TV is done for the night, and begins to pick her way out of the park. She gives Serenity a smile; doesn't bother to try to get Remiel's attention, and peers at Gage a bit curiously but decides he looks too pissed.
Gage would let out a growl as he blurted out his first comment. His beast would growl as well and his skin would get hot to the touch. Sers best once again was there to try and calm him”then why in the world would you purposefully make it seem worse than ‘you’ say it was. Just to get a rise out of me…..” he shook his head and the idea of leaving this doushbag seemed like a good plan. He looked back to Remi “ trust and forgiveness is something that has to be earned, so I suggest you get to thinking “he would slowly turn to the exit of the part to make his way home
Remiel Labou: ""...It didnt appear that hard to do." There was ALOT more he wanted to say but left it there....and then Gage tried to leave. "N-no! Y-you dont have to trust me..I-I wouldnt expect that..ever, I wouldnt trust you eithre." Heh he was starting to babble again.. "I-I just want f-forgiveness..." Everyone preached being the bigger man and no one ever took it...funny that. "S-stop!" He reached to try and hold Gage again...to wrap his arms around his waist as he walked away. "I dont know what to do..I'm trying..I am..." He'd nuzzle the mans back if he got it, "I dont know what to do""
Serenity watched the goings on in silence now, only her lioness energy floating around, wrapping around her Rex soothingly allowed everyone to know she was here. Her white blue gaze stayed on Remi as he began babbling once more, her eyes softening with pity…she felt bad for him, for whatever it was that Hikaru had done to him to force him to apologize which was apparently so against his nature. When Gage spoke Ser stood rigid at his back, so tiny and delicate beside these two giant men. The goosebumps on her skin from the icy cold water worsened as a soft breeze began to blow in the night, causing Ser’s normally bronzed skin to take on a shade of blue…cold and shifters was not a good mix…especially tiny pregnant ones in wet clothes out on a chilly spring evening bare foot. Nope. Not good at all. She shivered; soft whimper escaping her lips as her teeth chattered, watching the two in relative silence besides that. She had turned on her bare heel when Gage chose to leave, she would follow him of course though she jumped when Remiel attached himself to Gage, her white blue orbs widening as she stood there, worrying the lip ring on her bottom lip as she kept her energy suffocatingly close to Gage to try and calm his temper…she knew this was going to piss him off. “Remiel…I wouldn’t do that…give him time okay?” She murmured…"
Gage looks down at the arms around his waist and then looking back over his shoulder and the growls as Remi holds onto him.” I suggest you let me go now before you loose one of those arms, as I said before, just because you need it or want it that doesn’t mean it’ll be given to you. You have to earn it, and your mouth moving and you keep saying your smart wise, isn’t a good start to that” he tried to then pry the arms off of him so that he could leave
Remiel Labou: "Clutched tighter...he had to..he was desperate and he didnt know what else to do. "I cant go back..." If he went back and told Hikaru he'd failed'..."You have to believe me!" And his blood tears started again...probably soaking threw Gages shirt and staining it. "W-what do you want from me?" He had to think of something...but his brain couldnt function passed fear...despoeration..."I cant go back....he-he...""
Serenity shook her head lightly, damp platinum blonde locks bouncing about bare goose bump covered blue tinted shoulders causing icy drips of water to roll down her skin, making the panwere shake with cold. Ugh. She wanted a hot shower, food, and bed…and Jared in all honesty, even if she was pissy with him for not contacting her in over a day. She was cursing the cold, the water, Remiel for knocking her into the fountain all at once in her mind as she stood there, hopping from foot to foot to get warm, white blue orbs slightly glassy as she stared at the scene spread before her. She watched Gage try to shake the clinging vampire off and shook her head with a sigh when Remiel only clung harder, crying his blood tears again and smearing them on Gage’s shirt. She’d wrinkle her nose as the metallic scent of blood her her…not helping what would happen next…it was like Smell-O-Vision! Out of nowhere thoughts and memories rushed into her mind, blinding the panwere with slowly forgotten pain from the twins’ weeks at the clinic. The images were so vivid, the fear and pain so strong that Ser could taste it on the tip of her tongue…but it wasn’t her own…it was her twin’s. She cried out softly, lifting her hands to her eyes, stiletto heels bouncing against her arms as she turned in the direction of home, heart beating fast, body twitching and trembling uncontrollably, “Rhage…” She murmured…her twin had to be dreaming…right? The clinic didn’t have her again did they? Ser’s fear was now tangible as she ignored the men at her side, she moved quickly through the gates headed home…Rhage would be there…she kept murmuring to herself, sending her energy out searching through the town to the house, seeking that warmth that she knew would be her twin."
Gage looked down as he started to cry, blood, great the shirt is ruined. He could not say anything wasnt true now, like now he was just a pain and that he needed to try better than this pity sorry oh poor me bit. He looked down at Remi” I will ask you one more time to let go of me. Then he saw Ser start to try and heard her say it was Rhage, he as well sent out his beast to try and reach her to try and give her a little bit of comforting
Remiel Labou: "Alone...he was alone. The lions were gone, and he'd accomplished nothing...He had blood tears staining his face and clothes and had begged publicly. And they'd all walked off...Remiel wondered when he'd see more of people then then just turning their back on him. "What am I going to do?" He HAD to talk to Hikaru....he was supposed to report back...but...he was petrified of going to Fang Bangers...to the office...to. "Cell phone.." He had to report back...Hikaru didnt say he HAD to meet him at the office..well..yet. Calling the Number Hikaru had given him a few days..months? Something ago. "H-hey..i-i-ts me..I...I tried b-b-b-ut...it didnt go well..""
Hikaru pulled his phone out of his back pocket, pulling it to his ear, he didn't bother checking who it was. "Hikaru." His voice quiet as he answered, his heart clenching at Remiel's voice. "I saw that." Though oddly, he didn't sound upset or angry.
Rhage Terasaur: Tension kept her shaking body tightly curled up as she listened to the doc’s assistant laughing at her, his twisted laughter grating through waves of pain as he persistently sought to drag a scream from her. The weeks had gone by slowly, and through each new bit of torture a raw fury had built as she had kept her silence. The coppery scent of fresh blood welled as he pulled strip after strip of skin away, exposing muscle and bone that never should have greeted the world above. And she finally screamed for him. Rhage showed no recognition of anyone moving about the house, or even the cursing when Ser found her door locked. She didn’t hear the lock give, or feel the motions of the bed. A scream tore from her throat as her twin shook her. Touch, the nearness of her twin, safe and okay… albeit a bit soggy… did more to bring consciousness back than the shaking. Blinking glassy, unfocused eyes open, she still made small, very un-Rhage-like sounds in the aftermath of the memory.
Serenity fought the memories, trying to shove them out of her own mind before they drove her insane, these sickening clips like some sort of warped home movies. She shook and shook her twin, begging her to wake up, to stop projecting those memories, the pain, the scent of blood…it was all too much for Ser...she'd been meticulously shoving the memories and raw pain of those weeks kept in seclusion, tortured and mutilated, to the back of her mind in some safe quiet, cobwebbed filled place that she’d never happen upon again…and now, they were back. She shook, staring at her twin when she made soft little noises of fear, pain, eyes opening. The panwere gathered her sister up in her arms, hugging her close as she rocked back and forth uncaring of her soaked clothes that were creating a very big wet patch of blankets beneath them. “Sissy…” Ser murmured as she stared at her twin, fear, pain, regret all evident in her glittering white blue orbs.
Rhage Terasaur let her twin hold her, both of them shaking violently. Rhage’s hot, clammy skin was a painful contrast to Ser’s chilled wet skin and after several minutes of tension, Rhage grew quiet. Her body ached as she let the tension slide from it, and makeup no longer hid the tell-tale hollows beneath her eyes. “I’m sorry,” she whispered, her voice a barely there thread of sound in the quiet house.
Serenity reluctantly let go of the clutching hold she had around her twin, letting her lean back into a more comfortable position as Ser herself sat back, drawing her knees up to her chest in a very vulnerable pose, white blue orbs shimmering with unshed tears. “Sorry for what?” Ser murmured quietly, not quite sure what it was her twin was apologizing for…it wasn’t Rhage’s fault that she had nightmares…Ser had them from time to time as well, but Jared had always been there to charm her out of them…though not lately…he’d been gone a lot. The panwere shook her head, refusing to dwell on the Jared situation, it wasn’t what was important right now, her twin was. Wet clothes were momentarily forgotten.
Rhage Terasaur scooted to the headboard, piled high with way too many pillows, and picked one of the many to lean against. She gestured to the thick fluffy white blanket at the foot of the bed, and curled up into the pillows. Her skin was a little too pale and her breaths were a little too shallow still as her clouded gaze looked at nothing in particular. What was she sorry for? She thought in the silence that drug out… All of it… “My fault,” her voice murmured almost inaudibly. Her fault… everything from sleeping in her room, knowing it brought back those memories, to the night they were taken… it was her fault. It was no wonder her twin rebelled against her this morning regarding the asshat vampire. She hadn’t been much of a leader. All her thoughts flickered through her eyes to be read easily in their hazed depths. Part of her wanted to fall back into a much needed, hopefully restful sleep, but she didn’t dare. Not here.
Rhage Terasaur: Her hands rested lightly on the mound of her belly, drawing attention to it as she thoughtlessly caressed it, as though it were the babies that had the bad dream rather than her. It was a gesture she rarely gave into, and was telling in how much she already loved the babies she didn’t know yet. She was already growing bigger than Ser, but they knew about the twins, so it wasn’t surprising. Much.
Serenity watched her twin, glacier orbs glued to their identical pair as she watched each emotion, every thought flicker through them, her twin’s response making her frown somewhat as she shook her head, “Nothing was your fault, stop blaming yourself.” Her gaze took in the sterile room with a slight shudder, perhaps they would need to repaint it soon. Her gaze moved to the comforter her twin motioned to and Ser would move it out of the way so that it didn’t get soaked like the sheets beneath her, an idea forming. “Why don’t you move to my room? We’ll both sleep in there since Jared is…well…gone.” She sighed glancing at the door then back to her twin, “I need a hot shower and some dry clean clothes then I will join you and we can finally get some sleep…” She murmured hopeful that her twin would take the branch she held out to her, gaze watching her closely as she waited for the answer. Eventually her twin came through and agreed, though hesitantly at first, but her wariness overrode her sense of pride. So Ser helped her twin to the bedroom, noting the slight size difference in their bellies with a soft smile as she placed her twin in the big comfy bed full of pillows that drove Jared endlessly crazy. Once situated and comfortable Ser left the room to shower and change into warm clothes, even blow drying her hair so that she didn’t go to bed with it wet. Once finished the panwere climbed into bed and snuggled close to her twin beneath the king sized fluffy down comforter, slowly falling to sleep with the ridiculous thought of whether the down comforter was swan feathers or not…"
