Jane Ghardian
*Sitting in my VW bus, Nalla in the seat behind me. I look into the rearview mirror and smile at Nalla before I look back at the street ahead of me. Can't risk an accident. This time it is not just me. I have Bella and Z's daughter with me. Well, and I don't want to crash the VW bus either* I hope you are excited, sweetie. We don't go out often enough. We need our Jane and Nalla time, right *winking at her, her smile as bright as the sun which is still up*
Nalla Ghardian
*strapped in my car seat looking out the window at all the pretty things trees, grass* Wow, it's bright! Auntie Jane look at the pretty flowers over there. Do you see them?
Jane Ghardian
*Smiling and nodding at her words and her excitement* I do see them. Did I ever tell you my favorite flowers? *As I see her shaking her head I explain* Well, they are called calla lilies. You Uncle Vishous likes to give them to me. What are your favorite ones, Nalla? *Looking at the time, seeing that we will probably a few minutes late I decide to better write Trez a quick message. Not wanting to type while driving--I don't want to die again if Nalla tells that Z and Bella-- I decide to use Siri instead*
~txt to Trez~ On our way. Will be a few minutes late. Don't worry.~etxt~
~At the Iron Mask~
Trez Moor Ghardian
*Sitting at my desk filling out some paperwork I hear my phone buzz. When I notice the text from Jane, I send one back to her.*
~txt~ Cool, I'll be waiting. ~etxt~
Nalla Ghardian
Auntie Jane, you like cow lillies they are your favorite flowers. All flowers are pretty I like to pick them and give them to Mahmen. I like picking yellow ones and the white ones that you blow and they go everywhere. *feeling that feeling Uh HUH* Auntie Jane, I have to go potty. I don't think I can hold it. I gotta go BAD!!
Jane Ghardian
*Frowning into the rearview mirror at her words* Like super BAD? You can't hold it back another...*as she shakes her head vigorously I sigh inwardly. Shit, ok. No other choice.* Ok, I can stop over there. *Stopping at the side of the street, right infront of a small bridge, probably half way to Caldwell. I get out of the bus, close the door and help Nalla out of the bus. Let's find a nice place for you, for us. I am not going to leave you alone, true.
Nalla Ghardian
*holding your hand and doing the pee pee shuffle to the nearest tree doing what I need to do* I'm sorry Auntie Jane. I went potty before we left like you told me to but I just had to go again. OK all done. There's no sink to wash my hands. I don't think I like going potty outside like this. It's spooky. *grabbing your hand and pulling you back to the bus* can we go please?
Jane Ghardian
*Looking around, knowing exactly what she means* Yeah, you are right. Let's go back to the bus so we can meet up with Trez. *Not wanting that she gets even more uncomfortable I am about to ask her what she wants to have in the toy store. Finally I see the green VW bus and lift Nalla over a big stone to get back in there ASAP. I don't have a good feeling, not at all. Frowing, Nalla still in my arms I see someone at the bus* Shit! *Not caring what I just said infront of Nalla, already feeling her stiffen in my arms as she also sees the white hair lesser. Wondering how much she knows about them I whisper* Ok, sweetie. Whatever you do be as quiet as possible. I need you to listen to me, promise.
Nalla Ghardian
*sniffing the air* Auntie Jane something is stinky. *hearing your words about being quiet and listening to you.I shake my head to promise to listen to you. Eyes big with anticipation and a touch of fear. That man with the white hair at the bus he is a bad man I know he is and he smells icky, looking back at you and tightening my grip around your body. I'm scared but I gotta remember what Uncle Rhage told me about being a warrior and Daddy is strong too, but I'm scared.*
Jane Ghardian
*Slowly walking backwards, trying to concentrate so I am able to keep Nalla secure in my arms, always keeping an eye on the lesser. I whisper to Nalla while I see two more lessers appear out of the woods across the street.* It's all good. Don't be scared. I got you, ok. *Hoping I sound at least a little convincing I take out my phone and try to call Trez. I don't want to scare V and Z right now, especially not when they can't leave the mansion when the sun is still up. Shit. Shit. Shit. With the back against a tree, the lessers still in sight I dial Trez's number, cussing inwardly when he doesn't answer the phone. I hang up and look again what the lessers are up to at MY car. What was I thinking? Taking Nalla out during the day. Just awesome, Whitcomb. Still cursing myself I see how one of the lessers look directly into my eyes, an IMPORTANT part of the bus in his hand. Determined to NOT let him get to us that easily I turn around and run with Nalla in my arms to get as fast as possible away from them*
Nalla Ghardian
*eyes wide with fear, there are more white men showing up at the bus they are getting in it but that's Auntie Jane's bus. holding on to you with all my might and hiding my head in your neck maybe if I don't see them they don't see me. I don't want to look at them they are scary and I don't like them. I want my Mahmen and Daddy. I want my Uncle V. They need to come get us and save us.*
~In the meantime at Tohr's Office~
Vishous Ghardian
"Those fuckers...those pain-in-my-ass Bastards lured us by leaving all those bodies! Xcor knew it would bring Brothers and more importantly... he KNEW a shitload of lessers would come and the likelihood that we would be overrun. And then that fuckin spiked head last night. I don't know about you guys, but this Hannibal Lector calling card shit is gettin old!" *frustrated and taking it out on my stub of a handrolled, I pull out a freshie and look to Tohrment and Z for their take on this Bastard problem we got brewing*
Zszadist Ghardian
*leaning back against the wall, watching as V lights up* That was some fucked up shit. When do we go after the band of fuckers? *A spiked head outside the IM, that was a clear threat to Wrathh.*
Tohrment Ghardian
I told Wrathh last night we needed to go on the offensive. Xhex and Rehvenge are putting out feelers and making calls so we can make some plans. *Sighing. This has gotten out of hand it's going to wind up getting one of us killed.* We have already had too many close calls. The Bastards have way too much information on us. I would love to know where they are getting their information.
Vishous Ghardian
*scoffs annoyed* You and me both, Brother. That stone farmhouse has been outted so they are off to greener pastures. If you were a sewer rat where would you hide? I'm thinking right under the nose of downtown would be just their style.
Zszadist Ghardian
*polishing my apple against my shirt* Downtown sounds about right. *taking a bite and chewing. We should have never rescued Throe when Xcor stabbed him. Swallowing,* Have the Shadows picked up on anything? How did they go undetected outside their club?
Tohrment Ghardian
*Looking over at Z while he chews on his apple.* I haven't talked to either of the Shadows. That's one of the things Rehvenge was supposed to find out. *Turning towards V* Downtown would be the best place for them, they probably wouldn't think we would look there. *Slapping my hand down on my desk as something else occurs to me.* That would make complete sense. They seem to leave us lessers, meaning they are getting to them before we are so they have to be close.
~Back in the woods~
Jane Ghardian
*Mumbling more to myself...* What a day...*...than to Nalla who sort of stopped breathing, at least it seems like it* Breathe sweetie. I need you to stay with me. I am not going to let anything happen to you. *Taking out my phone once again, this time, even so I know it might not be a good idea, trying to call Vishous.* He won't like that. But I don't think I have another choice. *Sighing, hiding now behind another tree, I have a quick where the lessers are. I can't see them, press Nalla closer at the exact same time as I press speed dial for V, mumbling to myself as I wait for V to take up the phone* The starter of my VW bus. Fuckers! I am going to sue them as soon as Nalla and I am safe. *Finally hearing V's voice, the strength that alone gives me is enough* Vishous? *Hoping I do not sound too desperate I keep talking* V, I am half way......
~At Tohr's Office~
Vishous Ghardian
Fuckers!-- *my phone goes off with Jane's chime. Smiling, I pick up, remembering that she took Nalla out toy shopping in Caldwell* Whassup, Baby? *Her voice, so thready. Fear in her words and then screams and rustling and then? Nothing. I feel my body go stone cold. My eyes flip up to Z. I swallow. Once. Twice.* Jane!!! *frantically calling Jane's cell back while speaking* Z-- she took Nalla you know. They were going to shop at a toy stor-- *Jane's voicemail interrupts and I end the call.* Jane's in trouble!!! She screamed. *my fingers are all over the place trying to find buttons to try again* Fuck!! Pick up Jane!!
Zszadist Ghardian
*Tossing my apple core in the waste bin as V answers his cell, I look over at Tohr. I’m ready to start searching for these- V’s eyes stop me in my tracks, instantly seizing me with panic and then he spoke the words no father wants to hear…* What do you mean?! *Nalla…If anything happens to her, I don’t know what I will do. I’m supposed to protect her. * Damn it V, what did she say? *Glancing up at the clock, it’s still daylight. I can’t get to her, I can’t get to my young.*
Tohrment Ghardian
*Glancing at my watch and seeing it is still daylight knowing there is nothing we can do no matter what is going on. Standing up and walking over to the brothers to put a calming hand on both of them.* Calm down both of you. Tell me what is going on. What do we know?
~In the woods~
Jane Ghardian
*Looking down at the phone, no time to think I hit the lesser against his shin. Maybe it didn't hurt him, but it confused him enough so Nalla and I can play hide and seek all over again*
Nalla Ghardian
*feeling hold me really tight and then scream a little, I hold you tighter than I have ever held on to teddy at night. The white man grabbed your phone and broke it I hope Uncle V can find us anyway. feeling you run as we go to hide somewhere where the stinky man can't find us. I'm still being quiet just like you told me too*
Xhex Ghardian
~Making my way home from IM~
*Leaning with my Ducati as it makes it's way around a curve, my vision is perfect through my sunglasses. Annoying as they maybe but it's the only precaution I have to take to be out in the sun. As the curve ends and the bike straightens out, I'm still steaming from the previous night. Why wasn't I alerted about the B.o.B. playing in MY alley. Well, technically it's Caldwell's but..--the sun glints off the VW bus. Squinting my eyes against the descending sun in the horizon, but yet still high enough in the sky.. my neck tingles. I KNOW that bus. Jane. Hitting the clutch, back brake and front brake, I come to a stop... instantly the smell of Lesser is overwhelming. They're near. Sliding off the bike, NOT putting on the kickstand just yet... it's just my bike. This is Jane. Fishing my phone out of my leathers, peering over at the VW bus--the hood is open.. fuck...*
*Calling up V's contact info, pushing send as I pull out my knife with my free hand.. and awaiting, scanning the area for any sight of Lessers. Nothing. I hope Jane's just as amazing at hide and go seek as--Trez's words come to my mind. She's not alone. She has Nalla with her--* Hey! *Yelling, the fear straining my voice as V answers* Jane and Nalla are..-- *V's voice interrupts mine, but fuck, I need to convey what's doing* I'm here. I'll look for them. *The sun's still shining, but the shadows from the trees make the place look desolate. Creep-fuckin'-tastic. Cloaking myself in the manor of the Symphath way, I need to just cut the shit with V* I'll call you as soon as I find them. *Hanging up on V's protests, I instantly call Trez. As soon as he answers* I need you here. Now. Halfway between.. *Scanning again* Caldwell and the Manse. You'll see my Ducati and Jane's bus. Come armed.
~Tohr's Office~
Vishous Ghardian
*screaming into the phone at Xhex as she cuts me off* NO! Wait! *slamming the phone down on Tohr's desk and bringing my hands up to my head to squeeze it.* She hung up on me. Xhex is there. She found Jane's bus off the road!!! *frantic with the need to get to her, I shake off Tohr's hand and start for the doors*
Zszadist Ghardian
*following V as he heads to the door* What are their coordinates? What did Xhex tell you? Mother fucker answer me! My daughter is with your mate!
Vishous Ghardian
*lunging back for my phone that I tossed down, I try to get to it and check it for Xhex's GPS read* Jane said, "halfway to...Caldwell?" I don't fucking know!!! It's daylight! *chanting to myself, or maybe it's out loud, I don't know. Don't care either* Xhex is there. Xhex is there. *trying to breathe* She'll call the Shadows in. *nodding and repeating the words, convincing myself that Jane will keep Nalla out of harm's way*
Bella Ghardian
*having an odd feeling I make my way down to find Z, something is not right I know it, opening the door to Tohr's office and looking at Z's face then V's* What is going on? Did something happen? What? Will someone fucking talk to me now?
Tohrment Ghardian
*As Bella walks in the door I will it closed and locked before the two of them can make it out. Grabbing V by his shoulder and pinning him with a stare, before doing the same to Z.* Both of you seriously need to calm the fuck down. You wont be any good to either one of them crispy, feel me? Xhex's is there she will do what she can. We will do what we can by keeping you both alive too. Fill Bella in while I call Wrathh Z *Walking around the desk and picking up the phone dialing Wrathh to get his ass down here because I am going to need all the help I can get to keep these two hot heads in this room. Pulling out my phone and sending a quick text to John.*
~txt~ Come to my office now ~etxt~
Zszadist Ghardian
*gathering Bella in my arms, Tohr is right. I can't come unglued right now. Fuck! What I really want to do is say fuck the damn sun and go after my young.* Jane and Nalla are in trouble. *Breathe, fuck!!! How can I tell my shellan our young is out there and in trouble and I don't know a damn thing about it?* Something happened. Jane called V but the call was disconnected. Xhex found her bus and she's out there. *feeling Bella shake in my arms* Jane won't let anything happen to her. We have to believe that. *looking over her head to V, our eyes lock with the same determination.*
Bella Ghardian
*knowing Jane won't let anything happen to her I should feel better but that is my baby, my young. Suddenly remembering when she was born and looking over to Z knowing that he would take care of her if I died and now I can't imagine my life without her. How she makes everyone come out of their shell. I will stay strong I will not lose it. knowing that Z feels the same way I do right now. I collapse into his chest trying to calm myself. looking up* How many minutes until the sun goes down? Has Xhex called again? Do we know anything else?
Wrathh Ghardian
*Tohrment's phone call sends me flying down the hall...I outpace George the whole way to Tohr's office. My mind is racing. Jane is out of the manse with Nalla. It's still daylight. We're stuck here. They're in danger...which means Zszadist and Vishous are probably going insane. Z does NOT need to go through this again - not after what he went through for Bella. And V is always liable to explode and spark where Jane's concerned. Rounding the corner and pulling a panting George behind me, I stop a few steps from the door and compose myself. Striding up to the door, I bang my shoulder against and shove it open. I shut it behind me and stand in front of it, not letting anyone leave. I can smell Bella's distress, along with the spicy scent of the V's and Zszadist's anger. It's like walking into a brick wall. I start growling low in the back of my throat.* What the FUCK is going on? The two of you need to simmer down...I can smell your emotions all the way from my suite. Who has info?
John Matthew Ghardian
*Walking down the hallway seeing Wrathh enter my dad's office, I quicken my pace something must be going on. I was thinking he just wanted to chit chat. Knocking on the door and stepping inside as Wrathh opens it. Walking over to my dad he starts to explain what is going on. Fuck. Jane and Nalla out there alone. Xhex is looking for them. Knowing Xhex she has her shit under control. I will not freak the fuck out. Leaning up against the wall until someone has more information for us.*
~In the Woods~
Jane Ghardian
*Turning around, looking over my shoulder while I am running through the woods. Yes, I can't die BUT Nalla can. So the only thing that matters now is getting her away from them. I just wonder why they are even following us. The one that attacked me all those years ago. Dead. And I doubt they know Nalla. As I see a ruin I speak quietly to Nalla* Look over there, sweetie. We are going to hide in there and we both need to be very quiet. They can't smell us, so they won't find us if we keep quiet.*Turning around once again I let Nalla to the ground and tell her to hide in the ruin. I pick up a branch, slide it over the ground. Back and forth, back and forth, trying to hide the traces we left behind before I follow Nalla, wrapping my arms around her, rubbing her back to calm her and...myself*
Nalla Ghardian
Xhex Ghardian
*Trez's silence is everything, he'll be here soon. With a curt nod to nobody, I hang up on him and await, searching for any sign of... life......*
Jane Ghardian
*I am not sure how much time has passed. It is dark in here. The only thing I know is that Nalla is scared, her silent sobs as she tries to be as quiet as possible just break my heart. I am not sure what else to do then to try calming her by rubbing her back and whispering soothing words into her ear. Maybe we should try to find a way out of the woods? Are the lessers still around? Are they still looking for us? Hearing a noise outside of the ruin I look at the exit, hoping it is not who I think it is but there IT is, the white-haired lesser grinning satisfied into my direction and at the small child in my arms. He tries to grab my leg but in the exact moment he reaches forward I can see Xhex right behind him and the two other lessers* Oh god. Xhex! *Not able to hide my relief I press Nalla tighter to my breast, almost starting to cry as I also see Trez fighting a fourth lesser*
Nalla Ghardian
*tears find their way down my cheeks, feeling move and try to get away from the stinky white man. You can't have my Auntie Jane. Holding on to you tighter and not letting you go. then feeling you relax a little my little tears turn into big sobs and I am still scared I want to go home right now. I want to go home. I don't like it out here. I want to go home*
Trez Moor Ghardian
*Arriving on the scene where Xhex said she was, I sense the fear in the air. Seeing X engaging 3 lessers at once. I ghost up to the fourth and become visible right in front of him. I punch him in the face and see a tooth fly out of his mouth as he falls to the ground. I slightly smirk when he flips back to his feet like he is Jackie Chan. As he goes to kick me I ghost out and go behind him. I come back in holding my blade and stabbing him in the back of the chest watching him pop and flash out. I turn around and run to where Xhex is being out numbered. As I get up to her I grab the slayer by the shoulder and toss him to the ground. Looking at Xhex.* Look like you could use the help.
Xhex Ghardian
*I may not flaunt my femininity as other Female's do but as I grab the Lesser whose closer to the ruin and haul him backwards by his hair-I'll resort to chick fighting. The stench of the Lessers is overwhelming, but I don't need my nose just yet. Jane and Nalla's emotional grids are overwhelming. Never ending waves and waves of fear, anxiety.. hopelessness. Fuck. Pulling the Lesser back more, his foot catches a root and he trips, landing on his back. As Trez takes care of one of the Lessers, I pray silently to a deity that I don't believe in.. Please, please have Nalla turned away. I can't turn to look but I grab the son of a bitch by his hair, hauling him back more. Finally making eye contact with him, it's just me and him..* Look at me. *Gripping his chin, I take a trip through his mind. Ahh... interesting. No wonder he went after Jane and Nalla.. he got off on hurting Female's in his Human life*
Jane Ghardian
*Watching with wide eyes how Xhex and Trez fight the four lessers I automatically shield Nalla from the fight, the blood and the sounds the lessers make, whispering after I kissed the top of her head* Everything is going to ok, sweetie. Xhex and trez are here and it is about to get dark so your daddy will be here soon, ok. Just a little longer. You are so brave and your mahmen and your dady will be very proud of you.*Taking a deep breath, not believing that I can still press her closer to me, wishing I could make her forget what she has seen the last hours. As I look up, trying to see if Xhex and Trez are ok I see more lessers approach and call Trez's name to warn him* Watch out!
Nalla Ghardian
*yes it will be dark soon and Daddy will be here and everything will be OK. Uncle V will be here too I know it because he wouldn't let Auntie be by herself like this. relaxing as you continue to rub my back, hold me tight, when all of a sudden I tighten my hold on you and my body is tense after I hear you scream watch out. tears continue to rolls down my cheeks. hurry up moon I want it to be dark so Daddy and Uncle V come*
Trez Moor Ghardian
*Hearing Jane scream out to me I ghost out before the 2X4 hits me in the head. As I come back in solid form, my eyes are pitch white. I pull out my CZ 75b and shot off 3 rounds into the slayers face and watch him drop to the ground. I know I can deal with it in a minute since he won't be going anywhere, so I turn to see Xhex fighting like the cold assassin she is, doing what needs to be done and doing it well. I speak to hear mind as I start on the next one.* Another coming up behind you! *Turning to the one I am pinning to the ground now I waste no time in stabbing it in the chest and sending it back to the Omega. I look back over at Xhex and shout to her.* The sun is setting, I hope you called in for back up. Because there is more coming. *I hear her say yes just as the sun starts to go behind the horizon.*
Xhex Ghardian
*My vision hazes out to the red wash, the Lesser beneath me shrinks back in fear. I guess Omega doesn't clue in his lackey's on my genetic's. Well, half...--as my vision goes two dimensional and I bare my fangs at him and hiss. He cringes back but yet, I don't let him go just yet. Jane's warning comes out to Trez. There's more. Fuck, I can't play with him in the Manor of my heritage. Motherfucker NEEDS to learn to respect a Female...* It's your lucky day. *Growling low, as I hold up my knife, dropping his chin. As it plunges to his chest, the bright light flashes as he pops and sizzles.. as if he never had been there. The stench of burning sugar still in the air, clinging to me as I fish my phone out of my leathers--the light's fading in the sky, which Trez voices with a shout. Popping up from my crouch low on the ground, I call up V's digits once more*
~Inside Tohr's Office~
Xhex Ghardian
*V answers right away, as I turn towards the Lessers fifty yards away* Hey.. *His response is all about he wants ME to cut the shit. Feeling a rumble in my chest, I gain a new sense of respect for V* I'm here. Jane and Nalla are hiding.. they're safe. For now. *Twenty five yards* There's reinforcements coming in.. about.. *Counting* three to six? *Ten...* Get here ASAP. Please.
Vishous Ghardian
Thank fuck! *getting the coordinates before ending the call, I look to Bella and Z first and then the others, nodding and checking my watch* Xhex has them. Nalla is fine. They hid in an old-- We gotta go! *pushing past Wrathh and Tohrment and jerking my head at JM. More lessers than Xhex and Trez can handle. *running down the tunnel to get outside now. Have to get to Jane. Have to kill those slayers who dared to fuck with mine. Tearing off my glove as I bust out the doors into the just settled night, I bring my arm up to shield the last threads of sunset, the heavy footsteps of my Brothers right behind me. We are going to bring our own back safe tonight. Safe. Looking down at my hand, glowing like fire as I dematerialize, I know that doesn't apply to the slayers. Mother fuckers are going to fry-- *
~Back in the woods~
Jane Ghardian
*Hearing Xhex's call to V, my voice breaks as I whisper his name* Did you hear that, Nalla? Your daddy and Uncle are on their way. *Breathing a sigh of relief, hoping they get here fast. Xhex and Trez are strong but there are so many lessers, I can barely keep up how many they already killed, wishing I could actually help them but could I leave Nalla alone? No, I just can't. I do not want to make her feel like I did when my parents did not even come into my room after my sister died. I do not want her to feel alone and as helpless as I did all these years ago*
Nalla Ghardian
*a wave of relief washes over me, Daddy and Uncle V are coming I hope they hurry I want to go home*
Omega Ghardian
*After feeling a great gathering of mine lessers, I mist in, not taking my corporeal form as I look at the scene before me. It almost brings a tear to my eye as I watch mine Nephew's Female clutch the small... specimen to her chest. A Female and another male.. sniffing the air, Shadow, squaring off against mine Lessers. It's almost amusing. ALMOST. The sun sinks beneath the horizon and I stifle a yawn beneath my robes. Surely, reinforcements will arrive*
Trez Moor Ghardian
*feeling the numbers of the lessers keep getting larger. I do a quick head count, must be at least 15 out here at the moment. Feeling a little out numbered I pull out both my CZ 75b and start to shot rounds off into 2 slayers. As they drop to the ground drop the empty guns and pull out 2 of my blades. I drop to my knees and stab both the Lessers in the chest. As I look away from the flash I see V, Z, JM and Q come into the clearing hot, and ready to deal out some damage.* Welcome to the party boys.
Zszadist Ghardian
*the sun has barely set before Vishous and I materialize at the destination followed by JM and Qhuinn. I have only a moment to exhale in relief as I scan the area looking for my young. Jane and Nalla are hiding well- even though i can't see them I can sense their fear. Don't worry baby, Daddy is here.*
Vishous Ghardian
*springing on my feet the second I appear in the clearing I spot that ruin Xhex was talking about and feel the essence of Jane in there. Sprinting forward at a slayer who is heading for them, I lunge for his leg and bring him down, my hand covering his face and muffling his screams as he melts. It's ugly and smelly, but it's fast and works like a charm. I can stab later. Another one coming in from my right skids to a halt when he sees what I'm doing to his compatriot.* No worries, mother fucker. You get a turn. *Z flies by me as I haul up to get the one whose trying to skip out on his reward. This won't take long at all. My hand has been aching for a workout.*
John Matthew Ghardian
*My eyes land on Xhex as soon as I land. Knowing that she has her shit under control I don't give it another thought as I feel Q behind me. Pulling my dagger and lunging behind the lesser closest to me. One quick flick of my wrist and the dagger goes in poof one less. Q right behind me fighting back to back as it should be. With a nod to him over my shoulder we move to the next one.*
Jane Ghardian
*Blinking away tears, the fear not being able to keep Nalla safe fade as I feel the presence of my hellren. Saying close to Nalla's ear* They are here. Just a little while and you can wrap your arms around your daddy and until then I am not going to let go of you. I promise. *Proud of myself that I was able to not scare her even more by going translucent at some point. Then I lift my head and see Vishous, looking right into his diamond-bright eyes after he just used his hand to kill a lesser. His hand he will use later to make sure that I am okay even so he knows I will always be here...for him, whatever might happen. Not longer able to I mouth just one word* Pups...
Omega Ghardian
*Watching as the bright light from mine Nephew's hand illuminates the air, once again? I'm unimpressed. Sighing to mineself, the summer's night breeze blowing against mine face but yet I can't feel it. I'm not corporal.. and from looking at the fight before mine eyes? I shall not become corporal. Alas, with a chuckle to mineself, I'm thoroughly... unamused. Already strategizing in mine head about the orders I shall give mine Fore-Lesser, I need mine subjects.. smart. Not like the ignorant fools before me. Wafting my hand through the air, I've seen enough, every action has a reaction... and after what I have seen tonight? I'll be reacting.. soon. But, not yet, I think as I mist away. First, I must take substance in Dhunhd*
Zszadist Ghardian
*running full speed at the lesser coming for me, I don't bother pulling out my guns. I'm taking this fucker down with my bare hands. The slayer grin slips from his face as I lunge, throwing him to the ground. Straddling his waist, I plummet his face with my fists over and over until the oily black blood is splattering.* don't fuck with what's mine! *pulling out my dagger, I stab him in the chest and in a flash the fucker has returned to the Omega. Turning ready to take on the next one*
Nalla Ghardian
*nodding my head at what Auntie says while breathing a sigh of relief. Daddy and Uncles are here everything will be ok. I want my daddy. I want to wrap my arms around his neck and then I want to go home and read with daddy and cuddle with daddy and Mahmen and teddy and I don't want to leave the manse ever again. *
Tohrment Ghardian
*Grabbing the keys to the Escalade and reminding Bella that Z is already there, he wouldn't want the added danger of her being out as well. After leaving the manse grounds, flooring it to get there as fast as I can.*

*Without looking over into John's direction, I know where he is. My blood is in him, his in me. After noting that Qhuinn is by his side, I turn away from him. Fuck.. this is the first time we've been fighting side-by-side since the BFO (Brotherhood Freakout). Blocking that from my mind, I turn all my attention to the scene before me.. suddenly glad to have the Brotherhood HERE*

*the last of the slayers that I can see, I do a final check and head for Jane and Nalla. I can see her eyes. She sees me. Jane has Nalla in her arms and they are fine. I give up running and demat to her instead. Quicker.* Baby...are you both alright-- *Z beats me to get to Nalla, taking her from Jane's arms and into his own. I pull Jane against me and breathe her in. So much fear in her. So much fear in me and oddly it's strange because I know I cannot lose her but still, the irrational fear is there* Oh, Jane... *holding her tight, I look out to the clearing to see Tohrment pull up in the Escalade and tell Z* Tohr's here with the car. Time to get home, Brother. Past time.

*Tackling the next lesser in front of me I crack a wicked grin and look into his eyes, seeing they still have green and his hair is still a dark color.* Do you know what I am? Do you know what I can do to you? *Seeing his eyes bulge out as I speak to him, I let out a wicked laugh and punch him square in the nose. Feeling its nose smash, I punch him again and keep punching him feeling his blood spray in my face, I pull out my knife and run the blade up the side of his face that still has skin on it. As he makes this screeching sound, I move the blade lower across his chest and lower again running it deep and long against his stomach. As he screams out again I bring the knife up and plunge it into his chest. I look up to see the Escalade roll up and Tohrment standing next to it in a heart beat. I look up at Z and V standing behind me.* Go, get them home. I think we can handle this. *I see JM and Q nod in agreement.*

*squeezing Nalla to my chest and stroking her hair, I can't believe I finally have her in my arms.* You were very brave, Nalla. Daddy is so proud of you! *She looks up at me with a tear stained face and asks what's all of stinky black stuff all over me.* That's all that left of the bad men, honey. Your uncles and I made them go away. *looking around for my brothers, V and Jane are in a tight embrace. This is the second time she has saved my young. opening the car door with one hand, I set her in the car seat and fastening the buckles.* Let's go home to Mahmen.~
