Things that go bump in the night: A Ressurection

[ARaynes]

Lamia stood and looked out the window as she had done so often before. Only this time she was looking at the twins playing in the yard. They were ten now. It was odd to say they were ten, when they were born just last year.

Lots of things had happened in the last year. She had quit hunting solitary. She had her friends for that now. It was quite easy to get prey when you were in a group. Besides, the twins were so cute, everyone wanted a peek at them.

She had her gift, he had his sight. They both would be creatures sought after if she did not watch over them. She knew that once they would go, and she would never see them again. So now she watches, and loves them, as she always will.

"Miss Lamia? I have to run to the store. Would you need anything?" The nanny asked. She worked for Lamia this last year, watching over the children, for like normal children they didn't obey all the time. And like vampire children, the light would kill them.

"No, Elsa, Go ahead. I will watch over the children." She replied without saying a word. Nor did she turn her head.



THis is a private thread for Abraxas WInterlight, Merelan, and ARaynes alone. Ty, and enjoy.

Coming in from shopping I dumped bag after bag on the counter, reaching out to find my housemates, my family. Feelign their love and welcome.

Even after a year I found solace in the simple act of coming in the door, and knowing I was home. My home. Not somewhere I was tolerated and mistrusted, hated and ignored. But loved and cherished and needed.

As if by some secret signal the two came tumbling in the door after me, pushing and teasing each other, then sliding to a stop as they saw all the bags. Turning and starting to leave just as quickly.

"Good try guys, get back here and help. You know better." And they did, though fussing about bad timing.

Laughing we joked and put away all the stuff. They ate like wildfire these days and I could barely keep enough food in the house for them. I let them finish as I went through the mail.

Another letter from him. My hands shook and I was filled with loathing. My dear sweet brother had somehow tracked me down and found me a few months before. Realized I was living better then he had expected and now was trying to balckmail me. He had always been a bit too smart for his own good. He had done his research well, I would give him that. if he had only used it for a better purpose.

But he wanted money or he was going to the government and telling them about my family. About Lamia, Caleb, the twins and myself. He had threatened it before and I had sent him some, thinking he would go away.

But now he wanted more, and this time I didn't believe him. A small hand on mine and I was looking Arissa in the eyes. She sesed my anger and fear.

"It is nothing dear, just a silly ignorant fool. Caleb will take care of it, as he always does." Yes, this time I would have to go to him. he would know what to do. Possessive he was, and fiercely protective of his family. he would know.

Caleb

It had been a long night, but I finally had the information I was looking for. Suprisingly, it was a chance encounter in a nightclub that had led me to my prey. A simple brush against my sleeve, and the BloodDoll had leaked into my mind her masters daytime resting place, and his servent that watched over him. I knew that I must be careful with this one, for not many of the undead can call a werewolf to their side and make it their creature. I was dealing with a old one this time, older than any I had faced before.
I made my way home when true night fell. The darkest part of the night, before dawn started peeking it's sleepy head above the horizon. I rarely came home after dawn, because my loves would be resting once the sun rose, and I cherished my time with my ladies, and my children. As always, I started scanning the area around me when I was a few blocks from home, making sure that our home was secure from predators both human and inhuman, and as always, everything was fine. I made my way upstairs, weariness lifting from my shoulders and joy spreading throught my soul as I sensed my family recognize my psychic aura coming in, and welcomed me with their love.

I gave him a tight hug, and knew instantly he knew I needed to talk. But we had dinner and the kids and such. Later, after they slept, the three of us would talk about it and figure a way to make him stop.

It was all sad really. Growing up he had been the one to try to protect me. Kept me from the worst of the beatings, would sneak snacks to us kids when we were being punished. he had been the smart one, always good in school. But there hadn't been money for further education, so he had wasted it. Working at one job and another. His brains turning to illegal things, ways to make quick cash.

I nuzzled Caleb's neck as I let him go, a little tease between us.

Caleb

I could tell that something was troubling Fella. I couldn't and woud not read her thoughts, but the tension in her body spoke to me just as loudly.
" What troubles you, my love?" I said, gazing down into her eyes.

I felt her stiffen in my arms. She may answer , may not. Her rebirth had made her a stronger woman, & with that strength came a stubborn streak. She would talk tho, in her own time.

 

[Merelan]

"My brother, again." And turned to scold the kids for their noisiness.

They were so beautiful, so sure and proud. What a wonder they had given me, every day a new one, full of joy and bewilderment. The things they said and did confusing and amusing me.

"Caleb, how ever did we get so lucky?"


OOC Sorry guys, somehow i missed your reponse and was waiting and waiting, thinking real life had snatched ya again.
