Grey held her close, "Yep, so we'll have a sure reason to stay here in peace, I don't want to lose you......and even now.....I feel......" He stopped speaking.

Livia's food arrived at the table, and she looked like the happiest teen in the world. Looking to Chastity, she wrote on a note, 'I can feel two souls inside of you', before handing it to her.

Mawthrough looked at Livia passing the note and sat back, almost closing his eyes, thoughts of revenge and blood and Draklin and his mother and happiness and peace and Chastity and his child thundering through his head.

He loved her so much.
He let that thought control him, harness the tempest in his head, make him lean over to her and kiss her on the cheek.

He smiled at her.
"I can't stop kissing you, you know that, right?"

Then he looked at the note in her hand.
"Aren't you going to read that?"

serenity looked at grey
"feel what?..tell me please, what do you feel"


chastity smiled upon receiving the kiss on the cheek. she looked at maw
"i know and i love it"
she looked down at the note and read it then showed it to maw and looked up a livia shaking her head
"ho do you sense two souls, i dont see how that is possible"
she looked at maw to see his reaction to the note

Grey looks her in the eyes, "The last time I slept......I received a vision.........the day our daughter was born.........Genesis kills us both.....and corrupts her........I thought after defeating him, that this dream, and the feeling of doom would stop.....it hasn't......he's still alive......in his realm........"

Livia smiled, taking a bite of her pancakes, then she took her napkin, and wrote upon it, 'I can smell souls, actually......I only really smell one within you now.....your soul is in the possession of the demon.........dad says, that if someone dies without their soul intact with their body and mind, only the soul exists afterwards, and the one they knew, the one they loved, is forever lost........that's why he can't afford to die.' She handed the note to Mawthough this time.

He scanned it.

"Don't worry, I'm not planning on dying any time soon, Livia. I have a family to protect, and... here's a cheeky secret... as of right now one of us is immortal - well, as close to it as can be imagined, anyway..."

He leaned back, grinning, waiting to see the reactions to THAT...

Livia looks to Mawthough plainly, before handing him another note, 'Just don't let her die, or else you lose her forever......'

Mawthrough looked at Livia, and his eyes bore the cold stare of a natural born killer.

"Do you really think I'd let that happen without giving my last dying breath first? I am not planning on letting Chastity leave this world, or my side, ever. If anyone was to try..."

He let his gauntlets slide out to prove his point.

His eyes were still cold, and now there was an edge of darkness within them.

"I will gladly slaughter every last thing on this planet if it means she lives. I would gladly walk through an army, get myself killed - anything. But either way, no matter what, the only way she's going to die is if I die trying to stop it. And that is final."

Livia then wrote on another note, 'And that's the same way I feel about my mom and dad, you may not like my dad, but he's always placed us and our family before himself, including public opinion. Uncle Cid and Draklin were no different, no matter what you may think. Occidio died numerous times to keep his loved ones safe, and Draklin, though he may not seem like it, has lost just as much as any of us.'

"Haven't got anything against your dad. And Occidio was a good egg. Little flawed, but aren't we all. Draklin..."

His eyes flashed, but he kept his cool.

"Draklin I can't say I blame for his actions. Well, that's not true - I do blame him. A lot. But I can't back it up with anything reasoned and logical, but that doesn't stop the blame. Maybe I'm just displacing my rage onto Draklin because I have a reason to. Who knows."

Livia wrote on a note next, then handed it to Mawthough. It read, 'Had Draklin not killed her, someone else in the group may have killed her, I think Draklin feared that if my dad's attack had been the cause of her death, that'd you'd have gone after him again, and he remembers the last time you hurt my dad......'

Cereza smiled softly, as Cys walked towards her house, in search for things she could give to Cereza and Kye as gifts. "In the meantime, we could do a quick search for my missing brother." She suggested.

Kye nodded, "Should be worth it, I'm game......" He took his cellphone from his bag and texted his brother. "He'll be here in a minute."

Cereza smiled as her ears perked forward.

Nijuu had arrived at the Cousil's prison. She had been waiting patiently for an escort to her father's cell. Though she had been told that only she could see him. Nijuu looked at Tynan, whom appeared frustrated. "I'm sorry." She whispered.
Tynan shook his head. "You have nothing to be sorry for." He told her. "I don't mind waiting here."
Just as Tynan finished his sentence, a small group of guards arrived...five. One motioned to Nijuu to follow them.
Nijuu bowed her head to the group, and followed the group to her father's cell.
"Remember you cannot go inside his cell." One of the guards reminded Nijuu.
"I understand." She retorted.

A young man rose up near Kye, far taller than him, continuing the sibling trend, whom wore mostly black, though his face was exposed. He had elegant, sleek skin, and dark, dark blue hair, with white eyes. On his back rested a double ended Scythe, one only an extremely skilled warrior could wield. Looking to his brother, and then to his brother's mate, he spoke, "So, who am I to track, and for what purpose?"

Cereza looked at Kye, then looked at the newcomer. "One of my older brothers." Cereza replied. "He went missing after he left as a lone wolf a few years ago. We never heard anything of him after he left."

******

Nijuu was led to her father's cell...though they could see each other, the possibility of her father draining her had been removed..since he was forced to wear steal 'boots' and was kept in shackles.
"You have ten minutes." The guard informed.
Nijuu nodded her head to the guard, then looked at her father.
"I never thought I'd ever see you again." Shiro commented, as he glared at Nijuu.
"I'm here for my own reasons." Nijuu stated flatly.
"She came to you in a dream; am I right?" Shiro's expression seemed to soften. He then sighed heavily. "All these years, and she still manages to play 'priestess' with you." He looked directly at Nijuu. "What do you want?" He demanded.
"I want to know-"
"There's nothing I can tell you that you don't already know." Shiro interrupted Nijuu, still glaring at her. "You know how to use the power I've given you....you just have to choose to use it." He added, then stood up from the bed that he was sitting on. "Now if you don't mind...kindly leave."

Reap took in a whiff of the air, then looked upon Cereza. "I can sense two souls with similar signatures, signatures like yours......one is surrounded by many others of your....kind......and one is.....alone.....in some place I haven't been to......the place is unknown to me......strange........"

Kye kissed Cereza, "I told you he was good."

"Is it close by?" Cereza asked.

******

The guards escorted Nijuu back to the lobby. Her head was bowed slightly.
Tynan looked up from where he was sitting, and rose to his feet. "How'd it go?" He asked her.
Nijuu shook her head. "Not at all how I expected it to." She replied.
"Did you get the answers you were looking for?" He asked, as he placed a hand on her shoulder.
Nijuu looked up at Tynan, with no expression on her pale face, as she said: "All he would say, is that I know how to use the power he gave me, I just have to choose to use it."

Reap shook his head, "Several hundred miles away actually......."

Cereza looked at Kye, then back at Reap. "Is he in any trouble?" She asked. "He would smell like burning fur, or maybe smoke if he was in trouble." She added, with a worried expression on her face.

******

Once out of the building, Nijuu walked over to a nearby tree. She placed her hand on the tree, then looked at Tynan.
"It seems rather cruel of your father not to tell you how to use the power he gave you." Tynan commented, as he placed his hand on her shoulder.
Nijuu lowered her head slightly. "Maybe because he uses his power to kill things." She spoke quietly. "If that is all I can expect from his power, then..." suddenly, Nijuu felt the 'tree's' presence. It was as if, it was reaching out and touching her soul.
"Nijuu?" Tynan asked. "Are you-"
"Shh." Nijuu instructed.

Reap smelled the air. "I can't tell, I can take you there if needed........."

Cereza nodded her head. "Yes please." She said, then looked at Kye.

Reap created a shadow portal below their feet, and took them through it. Moments later, they arrived at her brother's location, ten meters from him.

Cereza took a deep breath...hoping to catch her brother's scent. "I can smell him." She looked at Kye. "He close...and injured."

Kye smelled him too, "Come on, let's find him!!!" He shouted, running forward as the muscles under his skin began to change.
