Once Upon a Time and Cassie #2 Showing 7,051-7,100 of 7,388

"Yeah kids say the darnest things." Ruby smiled hoping he wouldn't push the matter. "That is fine." A wave of relief rushed over her when Blake didn't suspect thing. She had to beat the Elders. "So Blake about earlier today when we heard the voice. You seemed to knew who it was. Do you mind sharing? I would like to know who and what we are up against." This was a risk to ask him that.

"Grace are you alright?!" Will exclaimed. There had to be something supernatural going on right? This wasn't human behavior and he wondered if the doctors would get suspicious

[Cassie 'The Thinker Go Go Go Go' Mis. Roben Goodfellow'\Isabelle Lightwood]

Blake had suspected that sooner or later Ruby would ask about the voice that they'd heard earlier that day while in the woods. While Blake didn't look old in years he was actually very old, and that might cause other vampires to think that he was loosing his memory. When in fact he'd never forgotten anything, and wouldn't start any time soon. Pausing as he headed to get things ready for them to start on dinner. Turning back to her, not in suspicion but in worry. Yes he would like to know why she was asking, but that wasn't his main consuren. That- right now. Was her safety. "Sometimes ignorance is bliss.. while I do know who that voice belonged to, today. Sometimes it's better off not knowing the truth. But I will tell you this even though it will most likely get me in trouble and it wont make sense to you on why I'm saying this instead of answering your question. A long time ago, before you where born in this life, things in the vampire community between them and The Elders where-- less then ideal. Even worse then they are now, for reasons I wish I could tell you just so someone other then us knew. Even though that was the past, and a part of the past I regreate being a part of, that can't be changed. But,--- us. We're not the worst things out there, vampires of lower class might think so, but that's only because they don't know what else is out there. And I'm not just talking about werewolves and the like. So before you ask about what we might be up against and I hope to God that I'm not right... you should consider the fact that if you do ask again and I do tell you. There will be no going back."




Grace wanted to tell him that she was alright. That she was fine for the most part. But she still couldn't get her mouth to work, so for now that would have to be enough. Enough to comfort him and let him know that she was still here. Still with him, and could hear him even if she couldn't say it yet. Wishing that she could take his hand and convince him that she was, okay, even if she was the one in need of help. Tiredly flipping her hand over so the back of it was against the sheets and her palm was up.

[onceuponatimeareview]

Ruby looked up at Blake for a moment and then quickly looked down. "What are we up against." She asked coldly. The Elders weren't her friends, Blake wasn't a friend. He was still an Elder and still followed their rules. She knew there was worse things out there, but the Elders were ruthless and corrupted. It needed to change the way they run things. "Does this have anything to do with why the Elders let me save you?" Of course she didn't want to push it. Ruby was fighting the anger that was boiling up inside her. Nick hurry. I am getting angry

Will sighed a moment. He didn't know what else to do, but he was glad that she was moving. "It's okay, it will be okay." Will whispered softly.


((on a mobile device.))

[Cassie 'The Thinker Go Go Go Go' Mis. Roben Goodfellow'\Isabelle Lightwood]

((Okay. I don't know how much longer I'll be on though.))


She was very stubborn. But he knew the reason why, he could still sense the darkness in her. It was low but it was still there. She had been able to fool Avery into thinking otherwise, but it was still intact. Turning and walking back over to her, stopping on the other side of the counter that she was on and pointing his finger as he touched it each time he spoke to it. "No. I gave up my one save to save you. Each Elder has one save. Once they give that save up to turn someone into an Elder that's it. After that then there has to be a vote on rather or not someone can join or not. That voice today, it was a voice I haven't heard in decades maybe even eons, and one I had hoped I would never have to hear again. The Elders, can't be trusted, it got that much right. Everything I've done up to this point has been to help you, all of you. And by doing so I am walking a very, very thin line. I do the slightest thing that might raise suspicion or a red flag, well I wont be facing anything good once they call me in. What do you know of The Elder history? How much did you learn about us growing up?" He wanted to know before he told her.


Nick heard her in his mind. Thinking to her 'hold on... we're almost done.' then turned back to Avery.



Grace let go of a gasp as the nightmares started over again. She couldn't live through another batch of them. They'd already torn her down so much... she didn't know how she'd make it through another batch of them. Breathing out one word in her sleep. "Will..."

[onceuponatimeareview]

Ruby glanced at the counter her eyes widened for a moment. Right then and there she knew that Blake could sense the darkness. He was crossing the line right now, knowing about the darkness and not doing anything about it. "Then why did you tell me that the Elders wanted me to be one of them?" Honestly she didn't learn much about the Elders, nor did she have a desire to learn about them. "Not much, and I don't care to learn about them. The Elders are horrible and feared not just by the lower class of vampires, but all vampires. They made Nick and our lives horrible. I know I am an Elder now, but I will never be like them. I am not going to let them control my life." She hissed softly. The voice was her grandfather, but she wanted some sort of confirmation. If this darkness inside of her can stop the Elders and change them into a good group then she would do it. She took a deep breath, she couldn't afford to loose it. "Just tell me already. Stop stalling." The darkness was making it's way up to the surface. She could feel it coursing through her veins.

Will looked down at Grace. "Shhhh. It's okay Grace. It will be okay. Just relax." He grabbed her hand and squeezed in gently. "Those are just nightmares you are having none of it is real. This here is real. I promise you."

[Cassie 'The Thinker Go Go Go Go' Mis. Roben Goodfellow'\Isabelle Lightwood]

Blake glanced over her shoulder towards the hall to make sure they weren't returning yet. "I told you that because, they feed me the lines. Said that if I didn't get you to believe it, well it doesn't matter now." He said looking back to her shaking his head. " Just like I know that it's still inside you, and it didn't go anywhere. But I will help you get rid of it again if you want..." Then took a deep breath knowing this would only upset her to hear. Not only because it was about her grandfather but it would only make her hate the Elders more then she already did. "Back, before you and Nick where even born.... things weren't good. The only real way I can explain it is, it was chaos among The Elders, yes we were still in charge but even things outside of our own ranks were falling apart. There were disputes on how things should be run, what kind of laws should be put into place... it was a total nightmare. But this was even before we had a head. Five people on top of us that we answered to and fallowed like we do today, maybe that was why it was such a nightmare, I don't know. But, one day one man came in, said he'd found the answers to all of our questions. That he would lead us it took some convincing sure. But eventually they allowed him to take place as a sort of ruler or over seer if you will... What a mess that turned out to be. If things had been bad before he did, it only got worse once he took rule. We were at war with our selves. Vampires against Vampires. Only after did we learn that he was using the darkness as a way to try and solve everything. A few of us tried to help him, thought that we could pull him back, safe him from becoming a dark. But they couldn't. So the only thing left to do was strip him of his title and exile him. ... Although even after that it took years to get the peace back, to recover. To say that I wish I hadn't been part of that, would be an understatement. But that voice, in the woods today... it was the same voice I heard when he walked in declaring that he'd found the answers all those eons ago. That. Is what I fear we might be up against. But also why I worry, that you and Nick may be our only hope if it is."





Grace heard him, and she hoped that he was right. That everything she was seeing- everything she was going through, was some horrible nightmare going through her head. Seeing as if it wasn't-- they were all doomed. Then felt the presser of the squeeze on her hand. Giving what she hoped was a squeeze even though it might be weak back.

[onceuponatimeareview]

Ruby glared at Blake, she was furious and hurt. Not what he said about the past, but the feeding of lines. How many of what he said was true? Was this even true? Did he really even care about her or Nick? A thousand thoughts flooded her mind at once. "If they are feeding you lines how much of what you ever said was true?" she asked softly. Something about what he said though about the past didn't sit well with her. She remember a conversation she had earlier after Blake had left with her grandfather about the dark vampires. He said the dark vampires weren't the dangerous ones. There was a different category of vampires that were dangerous. "How do I know if I can trust you?" A vision of Nick popped in her head all she felt was fear and sadness. It had been a very long time since she had a vision of the future. The surroundings of the kitchen dimmed out of sight tears started to run down her face. It was like he was gone and they couldn't find him. What could this possibly mean?


"It's okay I promise those nightmares aren't happening. You are in a hospital bed right now Grace." He whispered softly gently brushing the hair out of her face. "It's okay. Just relax." Will looked down at her and smiled.

[Cassie 'The Thinker Go Go Go Go' Mis. Roben Goodfellow'\Isabelle Lightwood]

Blake had gone to tell her the truth, of how much he'd ever told her was the truth. But saw that her vision had dimmed and she was having a vision of the future. Waiting for it to end so that he could tell her how much of it besides that was the truth and to ask her what it had been about. Seeing when her eyes cleared although now they held unshed tears inside them. Offering her his handkerchief. It was old fashioned but he tried to always have one on him for times like this. Clearing his throat. "Besides, those lines they had me feed you, everything- everything I've told you expect that was the truth. I've lied to them countless times to protect you, and your family. If you don't believe me I'm more then willing to let you see inside my head to let you know that the words I'm telling you right now, are true. That is why, I'm walking such a thin line with them. But-- I also know that you've just seen something, that is going to happen."



Nick was starting to come down the stairs with Avery although he knew that dinner wouldn't be ready by the time they reached the bottom seeing as he could hear Blake's and Ruby's voices talking in the kitchen with no pots and pans moving in the background. Which meant they hadn't started yet.




((So I had an idea for Grace's condition.. how bout if it is somehow magic related? But Will doesn't know for sure so to get it confirmed or denied he calls in one of the pack mates from another pack? maybe her old one seeing as they know her?))

[onceuponatimeareview]

Ruby looked up at Blake and took the handkerchief, as she wiped the tears away pretty easily. "It was more so I felt what my future self felt like." she whispered softly. It has to do with Nick. I felt like he was gone or missing. She didn't want Nick to hear what the future was in store for. There was also no chance that she wanted Avery to hear a single word. Whoever they were up against knew Nick was her weakness, but she didn't think it was her grandfather, there had to be more to the story. More than Blake even knew about, but what could it be. Nick's presence was coming down the stairs. A smile appeared on her face he was okay for now. "Blake why don't you and Avery make dinner." she suggested. "Nick and I can go to the store and get some ice cream."

Avery flashed past Nick. "Did you say ice cream?" she giggled softly. "Mommy ice cream is my favorite."

"I know princess, but you can't get any until you eat dinner," Ruby replied softly.

((Yeah that could work))

[Cassie 'The Thinker Go Go Go Go' Mis. Roben Goodfellow'\Isabelle Lightwood]

Blake heard what she said in his mind knowing she wouldn't want to worry Nick or Avery over it. Giving a slight nod to her then put on a smile to greet Nick and Avery as they came in. "Sounds good, See you two when you get back with the ice cream.." he told them turning and pulling things out to start on dinner. Hearing Avery talking to Ruby, in a loving voice as he did so. Seeing that Nick was already pulling out keys to the house.


Nick smiled, as he watched his two girls talk as he pulled out the keys to the house. Wondering if she'd want to take the car or just walk there and flash back. Even though the car would be more piratical. But under it all he could sense that something was weighing on Ruby's mind as well. Walking over to them now, "Why don't you go help Uncle Blake make dinner and then we'll be back with ice so that you can have some after we all eat dinner.." He told her.



The doctor that had been working on Grace's case came to check in to see if her boyfriend was there so that he could give him the results of the last test they'd taken. Seeing him in the room and knocking on it, letting him know that he was there since it looked like he was having a moment of comforting with her.

[onceuponatimeareview]

Avery smiled softly and nodded. "Let's make dinner. I want ice cream, Uncle Blake. In order to have that we have to make dinner"

Ruby grabbed Nick's hand and led him outside. "So, Blake knows about the darkness." She whispered softly. "I didn't need tell him." She looked at the setting sun and sighed a bit. Then she felt something behind them. She took a glance back nothing was there. "Let's just flashed there, I know taking the car is better, but I want to make it a quick trip." If someone was following them they wouldn't be stupid enough to attack in a public place. "I can't wait to cuddle you and kiss you." Staying calm and collect knowing if he suspected something then he would try to protect her from getting hurt.

Will perked his head up. "Oh I didn't realize anyone was there. Did you find anything out?" he asked softly. "Like what is going on?" he asked the doctor.

[Cassie 'The Thinker Go Go Go Go' Mis. Roben Goodfellow'\Isabelle Lightwood]

Blake smiled as he looked to her having already gotten the water on to boil. "Okay, honey. Would you mind getting out a small pot form in cabent?" He asked seeing as he had already gotten the sauce out and now was working on getting the meat open.



Nick glanced behind them as well to see what she was looking for. Then turned back as they started off. "Okay. Oh? Will we be doing as said tonight?" He asked leaning over and nuzzling her neck before gently kissing her ear and then pulling back. Seeing as they hadn't done any of that in a while with everything that had been going on. So he wouldn't pass up a chance to cuddle and kiss.


The doctor walked in, and set up his stuff on the table in the room, before leaning on it, and looking over his file again, before finally looking to Will. "I must say, her case is quite unusual. I haven't seen anything like it before, in my years but... all the tests say the same thing. She's healthy... but her body says differently seeing as she hasn't woken up in the time she's been here. At first we suspected that it was just the normal case of someone over working themselves to the point where their bodies couldn't take it any longer and they simply feel asleep for an extend period of time. But even then she should of woken by now. There were no drugs in her system when we ran the blood test again, and besides her blood type being slightly different then what I'm used to seeing, which can be passed down from family so is no need to worry about that.. I can't find a reason on why she's not waking up. We will of coarse want to keep her here to see if her condition changes at all. But the only thing now that I can think of is that she's suffered some kind of head injury, but even then she doesn't have the right kinds of symptoms for it to be that. If you wish to have another doctor come in and see if they can help her in some way then I would recommend it, because as of right now we have almost exhausted all of our reasons on why."

[onceuponatimeareview]

Avery ran over to the cabinet and than ran back. "There." She was using her vampire speed. The faster dinner got done the faster she will be able to get ice cream.

Ruby felt a shiver go down her spine and frowned as he pulled away. "Yeah that." she whispered softly looking up at him with a smile. Which quickly turned into a frowned she felt something in the atmosphere change. "Let's get that ice cream. A storm is coming." A wicked laugh echoed through out the empty quiet street. "Nick I when I say run. You run to Blake." she hissed through her lips. "Show yourself. If you don't I will take that you are a faceless coward."

Will nodded her head and sighed for a moment. "Okay. I will try to get in contact with someone." He grabbed his cell phone. Her old pack leader whatever his name was. It didn't matter he didn't have someone to handle this kind of thing yet, but he surely would. He dialed the number. "Sorry to bothered you, but something has come up." He didn't want to say too much aloud because the doctor was only human.

[Cassie 'The Thinker Go Go Go Go' Mis. Roben Goodfellow'\Isabelle Lightwood]

Blake smiled as he leaned down to get the jar of sauce from Avery. "Thank you," He told her siring the pasta before turning his attention back to the sauce. And putting that on low heat, before finally turning to Avery again. "So, what do you think we should have? cheese bread or garlic bread?' Seeing as the old myth about vampires not being able to stand garlic was a hoax. Blake had liked the stuff even before he'd been changed and in the years since then that hadn't faltered either. Not sensing anything from inside the house.



Nick heard the laugh as well glancing over the top of her head trying to spot where it could of possibly come from but saw no one. Turning to her again, shaking his head. It wasn't the fact that he was a coward and would refuse to run to Blake for help. But it was the fact that he to now could sense something was amiss and didn't want to leave her side if whatever- or whoever- was out there was out to get her. "Strawberry, if whatever it is, that's out there is after you, I'm not going anywhere, and that might make me a coward but I'd rather stand with you in this - whatever it is- then go and leave you by yourself."


The doctor nodded and gathered his things before leaving the room. To see if there were any other things it could be and rather or not any of the other doctors had heard of such a case before.


Justin picked up on the first ring. Greeting in his usual 'This is Justin' Before listening to what the other person on the line had to say. Frowning slightly, seeing as he didn't know the number but he knew of all the other packs around and he didn't notice the voice on the phone as one of his wolves. "Can I ask whose calling? Seeing as I'm guessing your from another pack and I don't have any of there numbers.."

[onceuponatimeareview]

"Chessey bread,"Avery replied simply. Looking around the kitchen as she took a deep breath. "How long before dinner? I want ice cream." she giggled. Then she froze for minute. She could sense darkness coming from the neighborhood. It wasn't the kind she felt earlier no this was much worse than the darkness that she thought her mother possessed.

Ruby shook her head as a figure landed behind them. Her eyes widened the amount of power that was coming from this figure was alarming. Was this what Blake was warning her about? "Nick when I say leave you leave." Repeating that sentence again might be useless. He had to leave it wasn't safe for him to be here. Her vision might come true if he didn't leave.

"Oh a newborn elder. How divine. I haven't seen a newborn elder in years you must be pretty special for them to want to save you." The figure with long dark black hair and a deep purple eyes smiled. "Nick it is, you see I would have listened to your girlfriend and got out of her while you still had the chance. " With a wave a hand Ruby went flying and hit the pavement hard.

Pain rose through her head as it started to bleed. She forced herself up off the ground. Her eyes flashed black. "You are messing with the wrong person." she hissed. She was about to throw a fireball, but the figure flashed behind Nick and wrapped her arm around his neck.

"Now I wouldn't do that Elder. You may have some darkness inside of you, but you are still a newborn Elder. You have no clue how to use any of those powers let alone the darkness. If you throw that it will hit Nick and kill him. We wouldn't want that to happen now would we." Ruby's eyes widened and her face was ghostly pale.With her mind she tossed Ruby against the pavement again. "One wrong move, Nick then she will be dead." she whispered in his ear.

Ruby forced herself up again only to be thrown against a car windshield. Glass embedded itself in her skin. Why couldn't she fight right tonight? "Nick, let him go." The figure snapped his neck. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO." Ruby screamed, but she couldn't get up. Why couldn't she get up? Tears streamed down her face as she blacked out. The figure vanished into an abyss of darkness. Everything was going as plan.



Will sighed in relief when the doctor left the room. "Justin it's me Will, you idiot. Something happened to Grace and we are at the hospital. I think it is something not normal," he said. His eyes widened what was that darkness he felt. He frowned something bad was going down right now as he spoke to Justin. "Listen I don't have a medicine wolf yet and I thought of you. Please hurry now." He hung up the phone and quickly dialed Raven.

"Raven what is going on? I am at the hospital and felt something very bad." He asked softly Raven was in town. She had to know. Was going on with Nick and Ruby? Did this strange energy had to with Grace? This wasn't good at all. He sighed whatever was going on he didn't like.

[onceuponatimeareview]

((I am so sorry I got carried a way with a super long post. You don't have to respond that long. Again got carried away.))

[Cassie 'The Thinker Go Go Go Go' Mis. Roben Goodfellow'\Isabelle Lightwood]

Blake felt something, very, very, very bad. Something he wished he had hoped he'd never have to feel again. At the same moment he saw Avery freeze as if she also felt it as well. But to her it would feel as a very dark force of the darkness. Flipping off all the knobs he'd had going on the stove before picking Avery up and carrying her into the living room and sitting her down on the couch. "Avery, I need you to say here for me okay? No matter what happens you stay here, until I come back. If you feel you need to hide, do it. I'll find you. But right now I have to go do something.." He told her not knowing how she would react but despite her age she was very smart so he hoped that she would listen.



Nick had looked over and had started calculating ideas on how to get out of this. As soon as he'd seen the lady in the black with the purple eyes. Then quickly realized that none of them would work because who ever this was-- had darkness like none of them had seen before. He didn't even know if Blake had seen this kind of power before. Holding still as stone when she told him if he made one wrong move she'd kill Ruby. And if it was that then he'd surly take her place if that was what it meant for her to live, he thought. Even though it would almost kill her to do so. Feeling the crack of his neck and then nothing as he feel towards the pavement.


Justin rolled his eyes on the line, he'd only spoken once with Will before on the phone. Hearing that Grace was in the hospital because something happened, yet the doctors couldn't figure it out and Will now suspected it to be something not normal. He had told Grace before that he couldn't involve himself with her pack worries before his own. But it wasn't her calling it was Will. The Alpha looking for help for a medical wolf. Hanging up the phone and then going to find his own to tell her that they needed to make a trip. Feeling the darkness from even his distance. What ever was going on, it wasn't good. And he had a bad feeling he'd be walking right into it when he went to help Will. Finding his medical wolf and telling about it before leading them to his car so that they could go.



Raven had just reached the city limits. She was in town for a couple days, she had left to go on a trip to help clear her head. But as soon as she'd made it 30 miles into town as she had just five minutes ago, she had felt the darkness. Felt it as if it was pressing in around her. Around the town. Surly every supernatural Wolf or Vampire or otherwise. Would feel it for miles around. Pulling out her phone and seeing the caller ID picking up. "I don't know, I just made it into town twenty minutes ago, but I feel it. Whatever it is-- it's bad, it's like nothing I've felt before. I'm going to go check on Nick and Ruby, make sure everything's okay on their end, then I'll get back to you.."

[onceuponatimeareview]

Avery nodded her head. "I promise." she whispered softly. Something very bad was happening it wasn't good. "Uncle Blake mommy and daddy are in danger. Please go save me."

The figure swore under her breath as she forgot about Nick. She flashed back and grabbed his limp body. "It's okay nothing is going to happen to you. I only had to snap your neck to get you to come with me." she whispered against his ears. "The queen is going to be very happy to have you Nick." She knew that he probably didn't hear her. "Oh you Elders are so stubborn." Feeling that Ruby had yet to be knocked out. With a flicker of a hand she threw her against the pavement.


Ruby heard the voice the figure was back. The next thing she knew she was from the car on to the pavement. Her body hit it hard this time. Every fiber of her body was in pain she couldn't move. The pain became so blinding that her vision started to blur. The last thing she saw was the figure disappear with Nick in her arms. She tired getting up, but nothing. The neighbors in side the houses came rushing out. Voices so many voices one was trying to call an ambulance. She didn't need no human doctors. This wasn't good at all.

The figure returned. "Queen Delilah I bought you the boy. He should be waking up soon." The queen smiled and got up looked at the limp body. Crystal put Nick's body on a table and walked backed away.

"He's perfect." Delilah walked to the table and put a dark force field around him. She started to push darkness into his body. "He will soon be mine. This Nickolas will be mine. His pesky bride to be Avalon won't get in my way." It was only a matter of time before he awakened. She was anticipating him to fight it at first if he did she would add more and more darkness into him. Until he realize who he was truly meant to be, hers.

Ruby felt what was happening to Nick. That same dark pressure. A small whimper escaped her mouth. Why did they want Nick? The thoughts of Nick left her mind as the pain was brought to her attention again. Her skin was cover in glass and so many of her bones were shattered. Thoughts started to fade away. It was becoming to her hard for her to concentrate as she totally blacked out.

Will nodded though he knew Raven couldn't see that. "Okay." He turned his attentions back to Grace. He sure hoped that Justin came here safety. He wished he could have told him about this, but he didn't even know what was happening. "Grace, Justin is coming. They will fix you. I promise. Whatever is happening it's going to be okay. None of us are going to die."

[Cassie 'The Thinker Go Go Go Go' Mis. Roben Goodfellow'\Isabelle Lightwood]

Blake nodded, then kissed Avery's cheek gently before standing and flashing out the door. Being meet with Ruby on the ground and human neighbors coming out to see what was going on. He saw one on the phone most likely calling for help. Another slowly walking to see if she could be of any aide to Ruby, and more staring to see what was going on. Crossing the street fast and checking her plus. She wasn't dead. No, they'd want her alive for whatever they had planed. But Nick was no where to be seen. Which meant that one of them had to have taken him back with them. Kneeling down next to her and lifting first some of the pain and then the spell that was holding her in place so she couldn't move. But he'd still have to wait until she woke to know what really happened. Although he had a sneaking feeling her knew.


Nick was starting to regain his focus and could tell that he was no longer on the street, that he'd landed on, without even opening his eyes. Seeing as he had heard the girl when she had returned, to get him. Just as he had heard when the two of them had been speaking. The only question he had was why. And what they planed on doing with him now. Slowly starting to open his eyes, only taking a second to blink them before looking around and starting to sit up. Only to be pressed back to the table by an invisible force. Turing his head instead to look around. Spotting one of the girls although he didn't think it to be the same one. "What do you want?"


For the time being right now Grace was in the state of hearing without the nightmares. But how long that would last-- she didn't know. Seeing as it never seemed to last long. Hearing that Justin was coming... was he truly getting rid of her then? Sending her back to her old pack where she was no longer wanted or needed? Then heard that they would help her. Had Will called Justin for help then? And if so, for what? To see if he could help her? Or was there something else going on that she didn't know about? But he had said that it was going to help her. Forcing her hand to squeeze his. No matter how light it might be, he had to know that even though she couldn't wake up that she was there. Still in there.

[onceuponatimeareview]

Delilah smiled. "What do you think Nickolas? I want you." She smiled softly. "I am sure you are starting to sense the darkness within you. It first takes over your body then mind." She snapped her fingers sending more darkness into him. She knelt beside and kissed him softly. "Nickolas just let go." she whispered on against his lips. "My lovely king you will be. Then after you awaken we will kill the Elders and make a come back. Starting with Avalon." Her hand intertwined with his sending wave after wave of darkness. "Submit."

Ruby felt some of the pain leave her body and the ability to be move. She stirred a little bit which sent pain throughout her body. Another whimper escaped her mouth.Blake had to be there and if he was he had to get her out of there. She didn't want to go to the hospital. They couldn't do anything for her, she needed blood lots of blood. That power was so strong and though she was an Elder she had a feeling that they could have killed her. Her mind was clouded by thoughts of Nick. She could feel their connection snap in half. That power just snapped it like it was nothing. Tears went down her face as she scream, but she couldn't open her eyes.

((Maybe Grace is like pregnant with an Orcale or something like that. Those nightmares are like the future and sense they are connected Grace is seeing them?))

[Cassie 'The Thinker Go Go Go Go' Mis. Roben Goodfellow'\Isabelle Lightwood]

((oooooh! Yeah! That could make sense, seeing as if they the girls that took Nick are so powerful they could maybe bring Eva or whatever her name was back at some point. That could be part of the future.))


Nick knew that at some point loose it. But until that happened he'd fight it with everything he was and everything he was worth. Doing so now, even as she pushed more inside of him. Feeling the link between Ruby and him snap like an old rubber band. Drawing in a breath to speak. "Whatever sick plan you have in mind, I wont submit to it.." He told her meaning every single word. Even though he could feel the darkness flowing through him.



Justin pulled up to the hospital with Leah a moment later having explained on the way there that he didn't know much of what was going on. But he was doing this as a favor to Will, so they would do what they could. But nothing more. As he parked the car and then got out then they headed inside. Only stopping at the front desk to get directions to her room before heading to the elevators.

((How is it, that after all this time we're still coming up with new ideas for this one and never repeating any of what we've already done?))

[onceuponatimeareview]

((Yeah that would make things even more interesting.))

"You will Nickolas. Oh you will." Delilah smiling softly. She kept pushing darkness into him. She backed away. "Goodnight Nickolas, my love. I will see you in the morning or sooner depending on how long you last." Walking away from him.

Ruby jolted up in bed and screamed. Tears ran down her cheeks. She was in her room. How did she get here? She looked down her body was healed. "Nick I need him." Her room had two figures in it. "Raven? Blake? Where's Nick I need him?" Ruby was confused and she was trying to block out what happened by visions of what happened floated through her mind. Tears ran down her face as she brought her knees to her chest.

Will sighed sensing they were here. "Justin is here. He brought someone to help you." He smiled softly at the light squeeze. "It will be okay." Hopefully they could tell him something.

((I don't know we have been doing this one forever and it still is going. I know of an RP that has over 650 pages lol))

[Cassie 'The Thinker Go Go Go Go' Mis. Roben Goodfellow'\Isabelle Lightwood]

Nick feel back under, wondering if her plan wasn't to kill him slowly by doing this instead of making him her king like she had said. And even then that didn't make sense seeing as she could of picked anyone of more power and yet she'd chosen him. Why? He wondered as he feel all the way under once more.



Raven had gone to check in with Ruby and Nick, only to be meet only by their daughter Avery and Blake. Soon after Blake had explained what had happened, and what he feared this meant. So she had stayed to help look after Avery, while Blake tended to Ruby. For right now the little one was asleep. Looking up however as she heard her wake. Straightening up, and shared a look with Blake. Giving a slight nod, crossing and going to sit with her on the bed. "Ruby--- Nick, Nick is.. missing. I got here to late to know what happened, Blake filled me in though. But even he didn't see what happened. Is there anything you can remember that could help us find him?"


Blake had deiced that Raven would have the more gentle touch of telling her. Even if she did have her faults. She wouldn't be as rash or rude about such a matter and he knew that. Standing to the side of the bed and letting her tell her the news.



Justin and Leah made the trip up to her room quickly. While they didn't know, what was going on he could sense even though she was no longer part of his pack that she was in--- not really danger. But not a great place to be either, but it wasn't because of Will. That much he knew. Only stopping by the door long enough to knock on it before they walked in. "This is Leah, she's our medical wolf, she's very good at what she does.." he said then saw how pale Grace was laying on the bed. She looked so, so, Un- Grace like. Swolling before going on. "What do the doctors say?"

[Cassie 'The Thinker Go Go Go Go' Mis. Roben Goodfellow'\Isabelle Lightwood]

((I know. Lol damn that's a lot of pages...))

[onceuponatimeareview]

Ruby didn't answer right away. "Nick is missing." she repeated softly through the tears. She didn't know why she was repeating it because she knew it. Without their connection she felt like a part of her was missing she couldn't even sense him. "We were going to get ice cream. I told him to run back to Blake, but he didn't. The girl had purple eyes and long black hair. This power was incredible. I was going to kill her. I could have, but she used Nick as a human shield." Tears ran down her face. The events playing in her head on repeat. Her hands gripped the sheets of the bed. This wasn't the time to shut down. "It hurts so much Blake." The connection breaking this time around felt like her whole body was on fire. It was like it started a chain of events that couldn't be stopped. Little did she know that new Elders went through it because in a way they were becoming a whole new vampire. It usually happened in the beginning, but there was rare cases of it happening months after being changed into an Elder. Though one wouldn't be a full new Elder until the change took place. Her eyes flashed a golden hue. Ruby looked down at her arms she saw elegant marks starting show up, not realizing that only an Elder could see them. The world around was fading away fire is all that she saw or felt. Automatically flashing to the lake even though it was a freezing outside, but she needed to cool down. Her heart was racing as she stepped into the water Blake make it stop.

Opal walked near Nick. "The Elder is finally awakening. All because you were holding her back. " She hissed through her teeth. "Elders are horrible creatures and I hope you do realize that she will be just like them. I know you are holding on because of that girl. Just let go she isn't going to come for you. Delilah would be ever so happy." Opal grinned and left alone he had to know that he wouldn't last much longer in the darkness without fully submitting.

"Nice to meet you Leah." Will lips curved downwards. "No the doctor said he ran all the tests and nothing came back. She appears to be very healthy." Raven had yet to call him back he was getting worried. "It might be best if move her to a different hospital right? I don't know what is going out there, but whatever it is I don't want Grace to get caught up." He looked down. "She was over exerting herself for months. I tried telling her to take a break and sleep, but she kept going. Her friends tried to do so as well, but she didn't listen."

[onceuponatimeareview]

((Yeah it is))

[Cassie 'The Thinker Go Go Go Go' Mis. Roben Goodfellow'\Isabelle Lightwood]

Blake had let her go knowing that she wouldn't know what was going on. Seeing as he had expected it months ago. But that had clearly hadn't happened, seeing as it was happening now, which sometimes happened in some cases with new Elders. Looking to Raven for a moment wondering what she was sensing if anything at all. Before answering Ruby. 'I can't... I took as much of the pain away as I am able to do.. It'll pass soon. It's part of becoming a new Elder. We all go through it. Stay in the water, it will help.'


Leah smiled slightly and gave her head a nod. Going to stand by Grace's bedside to look her over. So that she could give Justin and Will a chance to talk about what to do. "I can run a couple of tests, on her that the doctors here can't. But in order to do that, you'd have to come to our health center." She told him gently as she went about the normal protcall of the first check over.


Justin let Leah go check out Grace as he looked to Will to answer. Letting go of a sigh. "Grace can be very strong headed, and stubborn when she thinks she needs to do something.. even if that causes her own health to go down. Do you have any idea on why she was pushing herself so hard?"

[onceuponatimeareview]

Ruby winced as her teeth began to chatter. "Nick." she whispered softly. "Please help I am scared." Nick wasn't around and she knew that. After whatever was going through she will get stronger. Whatever that creature was she will kill them and whoever she had to. She will bring back Nick. Hours no it was seconds that had past, and the pain was gone. Ruby rose from the water as it dripped everywhere. "I will get you back Nick." Flashing back to her house. "Blake explain. I need to get him back."


Will nodded. "I don't mind transferring her. It will probably be better. I don't know what is happening out there yet, but whatever it is Grace shouldn't be near it." He whispered softly. He sighed and turned to Justin. "I think she thinks the pack doesn't like her or accepts her as an alpha."

Opal looked at Nick. "I mean should be stupid if she came for you. No Elder will be able to kill us or you after you let go." Shrugging her shoulders. "I am not sure why the Queen wants you maybe it's because you remind her of Nickolas and though you look like him he was only a human long long ago."

[Cassie 'The Thinker Go Go Go Go' Mis. Roben Goodfellow'\Isabelle Lightwood]

Blake had gone to sit on the bed, after a while wondering how long it would take Ruby to recover and come back. Stronger. But knowing she'd want answers as well. Although was slightly surprised by the fact that she didn't demand that he tell her why he hadn't told her sooner about the change. Although maybe it was for the best seeing as she was more focused on getting Nick back then anything else. Looking to her and then to raven once more. Standing up so that he could address both at once. "I know, and we'll find a way to get him back, but it wont be easy. Even though you're more powerful now because you've completed the change to a full Elder, and Raven and I are both very old..." he told her, knowing now that it was as he had feared. And rightly so. Taking a deep breath and looking between the girls again. Because this wouldn't just effect Ruby. This would effect everyone. Every Vampire out there and possibly. Just possibly even the wolves. "The girl with the black hair and purple eyes... I've only ran into her once before. Her name is Opal, she serves under Queen Delilah. Opal is powerful, very powerful. But with her working with Delilah, they're even more dangerous. They have darkness inside them, pluasing with every beat of their hearts. They just don't have darkness, some people would even consider them Darkness themselves. The last time I encountered them was back in Europe some hundred years ago. I ran into them by chance, they claimed to be traveling through, seeing the sights. We parted ways. Later the next day the whole country side turned into madness. Not many escaped with their lives. But some did, the rest either turned up dead or missing. It was only after the fact that I learned of them causing it all. What they are, or were before... I don't know. Seeing as even then they were too far gone to be sure. But my best guess would be witches or Vampires gone too dark to be recognized as vampires anymore. After a couple of weeks word spreed that they had been killed. I never thought any differently then the other people did. By that time I was just glad to be rid of them and glad that they had suffered by dying. But, it now seems as if they are still very much alive, and intend to do more harm to people."



Leah nodded, at the answer about the transfer. At least this way she'd be under care of wolves and not human doctors that couldn't help her in any way. "I'll go get the paper work then.." She told them replacing Grace's arm by her side and walking out of the room to get it from the desk.



Justin considered this, remembering how just last year she had come to him asking for help. Help in stopping a witch that they had thought was a wolf, and had been replaced in her spot as female alpha in her leave of absence to grieve for her brothers death. He'd turned her down because at the time he'd had enough problems within his own pack to be worried or spare any to help hers. After the witch had been defeated- yes he'd heard about it as well as the others- she must of gotten her spot back. But he had also heard of what the witch had done while in power of the pack as well. Or at least what was rumored she had done while in power. She had possession the pack members, so that they fallowed her every word. Let the men sleep with whom ever they liked mate or not. Done almost everything to keep the men happy, even the females were happy. Supposively. So when she had returned to her rank, she had surely heard of what had happened. But that only lead to the why part as to why she had dragged herself so far that she'd done this to herself. Unless she thought that she wasn't good enough anymore, and was trying to please everyone like the witch had. But that didn't sound like Grace either. "Can you think of any reason. Anything- small or big. On why she would think that?"

[onceuponatimeareview]

Ruby listened to his story carefully. She wasn't going to demand anything. It wasn't a priority, Nick was. The darkness she had within her could that be enough to stop them she needed to go see her grandfather. That may be a stupid move, but she knew she could kill them. "Now they have Nick." she whispered softly knowing that he had a lot of power more than he knew. "I guess it is good that our connection broke because if they were smart they would have Nick control me. If they get him to break, no they will get him to break. I love Nick,but up until my connection broke with him that darkness was horrible." At this very moment she didn't care what she had to do. "I am going to get him back, I don't care what I have to. If I have to learn how to control it Blake I will. No one messes with my family." The windows shattered she jumped back. Did she do that? Nick where was he and was he even okay. Tears rolled down her cheeks wiping them away. "Raven can you call a meeting with the vampires. We need to get everyone in top training conditions. Blake if it is possible you need to train me or find someone who can. I will visit all the packs in the morning and try to gather as much allies as possible." Nick if you can hear me at all please know that I am coming for you. No matter what happens to you I will save you A sigh escaped her mouth she was exhausted couldn't she catch a break. Nick he had to be okay. Then her throat felt on fire this was the worse thirst ever. If Nick was here he would rush to her. Thinking about Nick just made her stomach drop. She walked over to Blake and sat on his lap curling herself into him. Blake always had a way of just calming her down. "I am trying to be brave." she whispered softly ignoring the thirst.


"I think part of her thought that maybe she wasn't good enough for the pack. I sort of just been absorbing myself in work. Trying to work with peace treaty with the vampires." Sighing softly. "She also was trying to forget about how all the other people in the pack having children. " Will shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know why she did what she did. She worked herself. She wouldn't listen to me or anyone else." Everything that happened over the past year did she really think she wasn't good enough? "She's in like a nightmare state." Pausing for a moment. He hadn't heard anything back from Raven. Looking out the window. What was happening? He could only think of the possibilities.

[Cassie 'The Thinker Go Go Go Go' Mis. Roben Goodfellow'\Isabelle Lightwood]

It didn't phrase Blake that she sat on his lap so easily. Seeing as even with everything between them in the past comforting her was still just so natural. Rubbing her back gently. "I know you are. But we're here for you too, so you don't have to go this alone." he told her hearing Raven get up to leave so that she could start making calls to call the meeting, turning back to Ruby. Letting go of a breath that ruffled the hair on top of her head. "I- I don't know how much I can teach you about the darkness, you should know that up front. But- I think I know someone who might be able to. As for your new Elder powers... I can help you with that." He told her not knowing her reaction.


Despite his current state of mind, and how he was. He could still hear Ruby and her words. Even though the connection had broke. Hearing that she promised that she'd come. But would it already be too late by that point? Seeing as he could already feel the darkness inside him.



Justin nodded, he'd never heard of anything like that before. Sort of a nightmare state. Wondering if Leah had, before seeing as of right now she was their- no Grace's best chance. Letting go of a deep breath, and leaning back against the wall. But if she'd been trying to prove a point, then why hadn't she done it another way? Or had this been the only way she'd seen? Or was it the fact that she wanted so badly to forget about everyone else having children that she'd over worked herself to forget. "I'll see if Leah knows anything about a nightmare type state.. Seeing as I've never heard of anything like it before. Maybe she was trying to prove a point... but what point I can't even imagine.."


Raven had left to make the calls and so the Blake and Ruby could talk for a while. Already dialing Will's number on the way down the stairs. Waiting for him to pick up. Seeing as he had wanted to know what was going on but couldn't go out because of something going on at the hospital.

[onceuponatimeareview]

Ruby closed her eyes tightly. "I am worried about him." she whispered softly. "I can't feel where he is and it is horrible." Tears ran down her face. Her throat started to burn even more she didn't want blood right now. Nick it will be okay. When you let go to the darkness. I will bring you back I promise. You can't fight that kind of power. I am going to get you out of there as soon as I can. I will never give up on us Maybe just maybe he heard her. He had to know it was okay to let go. He had to know that she will come for him. Her golden eyes widened as the smell of Blake started intoxicate her. She figured that Blake wouldn't be able to help her with the darkness even him knowing about it was too dangerous. Sometimes though you had to fight fire with the fire. The one thing she had that they didn't was light. There will always be light at the end of the darkest night.

Delilah walked into the room where Nick was laying. "Awaken Nickolas." She touched his face ever so gently. "I think your body is starting to like the darkness." She could tell he was so desperately trying to hold onto himself. "It's no use Nickolas." she kissed his lips softly and pulled away. Then cut her wrist forcing it into his mouth. "My blood is so addicting and so is my darkness." Adding just a little bit more blood into his system. "You need to let go my love." Her voice was soothing and calming. "I'll make a deal if you let go I will make sure the connection between you and that girl is rebuild. Then maybe she wouldn't be suffer as much. I mean doesn't it hurt terribly for the connection to break? Maybe she will be at comfort knowing you are safe." Delilah whispered softly.

Will looked at Justin and nodded. Picking up his phone quickly. "What's going on?" He asked quickly. Grace was his main concern, but so was that darkness. It wasn't a normal feeling to be felt. "How are Nick and Ruby?" They were probably the first ones on the scene considering the location and everything. He glanced at Grace wondering what she was seeing in those nightmares.

[Cassie 'The Thinker Go Go Go Go' Mis. Roben Goodfellow'\Isabelle Lightwood]

Blake nodded, as she spoke. "I know, I think we all are. But Nick is stronger then he gives himself credit for. More then he knows even. But we'll get him back." He told her seeing how worried she was. Brushing her tears away with his thumb. "I'll get in touch with who I know that can help you with it. See if they can come. In the mean time however, I think you should spend some time with your daughter.. she was very worried about you." He told her knowing that anything to do with Avery would get her attention.


Nick didn't want to, but he could feel himself loosing the battle. And when she put her wrist to his mouth he clamped on to it, to drink. Even though it would only cause more harm to him in the end. Breaking his hold on her wrist and swallowing it before answering. "I wont put her through that... you can have me if you want but I will not put her through any more pain then she already has been through tonight."


Justin waited, as Will answered his phone and talked.


Raven launched into it as soon as Will picked up on the other end. "Nick is missing, we're going to try and find him. But according to Blake, some really old witches or vampires took him. He said that some people could consider them darkness themselves. We're calling a meeting for all vampires tonight so that we can gain support so that we can fight them. Ruby is going to be going around trying to gather support from the packs tomorrow, seeing as this doesn't just concerns vampires. It concerns everyone."

[onceuponatimeareview]

Ruby slipped off of Blake. "I am going to clean up." she walked into the bathroom and locked the door. Turning on the bathroom sink to block any sound that would come from there. Tears fell down her face they wouldn't stop coming. She grabbed the emergency blood of Nick's blood and swallowed it. At the time it was smart idea to have it, but just smelling his blood and tasting made her hyperventilate. Avery she had to think about Avery, but it was so hard too. "Blake not tonight. I can't see Avery tonight tomorrow." This wasn't the time to be crying she knew that, she knew that Blake would march in there and give her talk about it.



Delilah sighed. "I understand you want to keep her safe, but don't you think just knowing that you are safe will make her better." With a wave of her hand she showed him what Ruby was doing. "It looks like your precious girl is loosing. It's sad I was really hoping for a nice juciey battle with everyone, but if is my competition for you Nickolas then we are all in trouble" Delilah looked down at him. "I would really consider building that connection back up, but then it might make things worse because she will sense you talking my blood, kissing me, and so much more." She whispered in his ear. "I see you liked that blood you can have more just say the word." The images of Ruby disappeared. Slowly forcing more darkness into him. "Just forget about that girl Nickolas. I want to just relax and let the darkness take over." Delilah was using very powerful compulsion on him now.

"Okay thank you. I will see what I can do with the other packs. It will be best if she didn't come around them." He hung up the phone and looked at Justin. "There's two creatures out there that are rumored to be darkness themselves. That is what caused the darkness felt earlier today. They are very dangerous. I wouldn't be telling you this if it didn't concern every supernatural being within a 50 mile radius." Will said looking at Grace. "I thought maybe the nightmares were connected to the darkness somehow, but that wouldn't make any sense."

[Cassie 'The Thinker Go Go Go Go' Mis. Roben Goodfellow'\Isabelle Lightwood]

Blake allowed her a few minutes before he would go in and talk with her. Tell her that right now was not the time to be weak, and that this was the biggest thing they'd faced so far. And might even be the biggest thing that they would ever face. But for now he'd give her a few minutes to be alone.


Nick felt more of the darkness go into him. Although he didn't know abut the compulsion that she was using on him. That he couldn't feel. Thinking quickly. "If I give in to the darkness, do I have your word that you will not rebuild the bond between us?" he wouldn't say why he didn't want it rebuilt. But he wouldn't give her that reason either. Because even though he knew- and saw how hurt Ruby was through her, he also wouldn't put her through more, when he could spare her that pain. Because while she might be able to feel him through it once rebuilt she would also be able to sense how dark he'd become. And that he thought, more then anything else. Would be the one thing that pushed her over the edge.



Raven hung up the phone only to start dialing more vampires now to inform them that a meeting would be held in order to decide how to best go about this.


Justin looked up once Will was off the phone and listened to what it had been about. The Darkness. They'd all felt it and now they knew why. Whatever it was, whoever they were, it wasn't good. That much he knew even before Will said that. Glancing again to Grace that still lay in the bed asleep and fighting nightmares. "I'll get my pack ready, while Leah helps you with Grace once the transfer is done. But maybe you should consider calling your pack to our taratory as well for the time being. The more numbers we have the more likely we stand a chance."


Leah reentered the room with the paper work for the transfer, she was nurse on the side so she had used that to get the papers. Hearing them talking about what they had all felt. Then heard Will propose his idea on how it wouldn't make any sense for the nightmares to be connected to the darkness. And it didn't, but-- it could be in a way. She supposed. Looking up as she finished filling out the first set of paper work. "If I may... while the doctors I'm sure didn't test for it, but- is there any chance, at all that she could be.... pregnant? I will of coarse run the test when we leave and return back to our medical center to be sure rather or not. But... I do need to know ahead of time."

[onceuponatimeareview]

Then she shivered a bit for a moment. She forgot about the wet clothes she was in. Ruby mange to crawl to the closet and saw of Nick's clothes she quickly grabbed one of his long sweaters that looked like a dress on her and fresh pair of underwear. Pulling up some stripe knee highs to complete the look. For hot second she forgot about Nick, but the smell lingered on his clothes brought the tears back. Then her eyes landed on her crown she stared at it for moment. Her eyes flashed black looking at it made her angry. How dare someone take Nick away from her? How dare someone interrupt the peace she made? Thinking back to her resolve she walked out of the closet into the bathroom and unlocked the door. Out of instinct she slammed Blake into the wall and bit his neck. She was so thirsty the blood tasted great, but it was what her body crave. It would have to do she backed away her eyes soften and returned to the new golden color. Out of exhaustion her body went limp hitting the floor.

Delilah smiled softly and looked at him. "Yes, my love I promise I won't do anything" Which is the truth, but if he rebuilt on his own then she couldn't do anything about that. "Nickolas just forget about her and awaken. You are the dark king and we are destine to kill the Elders. You are the ruler we need to build up our kind again my love." She kissed him softly again just adding more darkness into him.

Opal glanced over at Deliliah and Nick. This better work there is too much on the line. She knew that Deliliah wasn't prepared for him being dark. Not to mention he was already powerful, but she wasn't sure if he knew that. This person wasn't going to be the same she felt that kind of power coming from him. If Deliliah thought she could control it him then she was a in for a rude awakening. Not to mention he would be new to it. "Delilah get a room please. There will be time for making out with the King later. We need to focus on killing the Elders and creating more of us."

Will shook his head. "No, unless if we did it without knowing. I haven't blanked out like that in years though." Will looked down. "Right like there is no chance she could be pregnant? If she was how would that make those nightmares connected to what is happening?" He asked worriedly. He nodded his head at Justin. " I was thinking the same thing. We should also move all the children and mothers to be as far as possible from this place."

[Cassie 'The Thinker Go Go Go Go' Mis. Roben Goodfellow'\Isabelle Lightwood]

Blake had some what expected that she'd loose control and have to take blood at some point although he hadn't expected it to be this soon. He thought as she pushed him against the wall and then drank from him. Before finally backing up and falling to the floor. She'd heal if she'd gained any bruises when falling. But she looked fair enough, he thought as he bent and scooped her up, carrying her down the stairs and to the living room. Placing her gently on the couch that was in there before going to join Raven to see if he could be of any accensence.


Raven heard Blake enter knowing that it wasn't Ruby from the feeling. Turning to look to see what was going on. Telling him that he could help by starting to call the one's that she hadn't gotten too yet.


Nick understood that, and so if that was the only way to get himself out of here- then so be it. He would accept the darkness and face the consequences later. Because of right now that was all he knew. Was that he had to get out of this and back to Ruby some how. And their daughter. Always Avery and Ruby. Everyone else could wait. He thought as he felt more of the darkness go into him as the two spoke. Seeing as he hadn't learned their names yet. "Very well then.." he told them. Starting to let the darkness take hold.



Justin nodded in agreement. The less they had to worry about the better. Which meant that it was better to move the children and mothers to a more safer place. Where they'd be out of harms way. "Agreed. We have safe houses through out the city's and a few other states. They can stay there until things are safer."


"None. No chance at all? I haven't encountered it myself... but. There are some cases, where, if under the right cercstatens and conditions the female can become pregnant with a seer. Someone that can see the future. Normally, the child wouldn't get that until it's born. But there are other cases where the child will start seeing things before it's even born. Which can sometimes lead to the mother having nightmares, extreme nightmares. but that's very rare."

[onceuponatimeareview]

Ruby stirred in her sleep. She felt like something was missing, but she couldn't feel it at all. Jolting up noticing she was on the couch. Earlier that nigh she and Nick walked out of there holding hands. Tears trickled down her face she was trying so hard not to cry, but it was hard. Using the sweatshirt sleeve to wipe off the tears looking down. Placing her feet on the floor her eyes widened, she felt that dark power again this time it wasn't coming from the girl. Recalling how all dark powers are connected because they are used from the same source, where light power has many different sources one could use. That being said she could feel any darkness, which meant she could go right now and get Nick, but that seemed reckless and stupid of her to do that. The only person who they could of changed into whatever they were was, Nick. She felt that darkness they were putting into him did he finally let go. She gulped as she raced into the room where Blake and Raven were. "Raven I need you to get Avery out of here now. Go as far away as possible. Nick has let go to the darkness which is to be expected, I felt what they were doing to him for a time there, but I know Nick. He's smarter than those two who took him, that there enough makes him more dangerous. If he rebuilds the connection he could easily control me. Then everyone wouldn't be safe." Maybe Nick wouldn't think of that, but worse possible situation they had to be prepared for. "I need to learn how to fight the connection or even become more dominant then he is if that is even possible." Ruby whispered softly.

"How are you feeling Nickolas?" Delilah asked softly. "I hope you are feeling wondering." she purred jumping up and letting the force field down. "Opal take care of him for me." She commanded as she left the room.

Opal nodded. "So, you are the King of all Darkness. My name is Opal and that is Queen Delilah who is totally obsessed with you. Our goal is to destroy the Elders and take back what is ours. We need your help to do it." The amount of darkness that was coming from him was scary even to her. She was very strong and so was Delilah, but she had a feeling that the Queen created a monster. "Is there anything I can do for you, my lord?"

Will shook his head as she asked again. "No chance at all unless if we blanked out." Will tried to think of a night he didn't remember, but none came to mind at the moment. "You mean something like an Oracle?" His mind wondered back to his old pack where they had one who told the Alpha everything. He shuddered even thinking about his old pack. "I have encountered one at my old pack. She had the Alpha wrapped around his finger. Apparently they come in twins, but her twin got sentence to death for not following orders." He whispered softly and he was the one who killed him. Those days weren't something he thought of that often, he was different person now. Will sighed softly he had a feeling this was what he was dealing with. He didn't even think about replying to Justin.

Blake had been busy assessing Raven with making the calls. Telling them that they'd gather at the house, tonight for the meeting. And to decide what to do about the whole situation. But then hung up the phone after saying a short 'bye' as Ruby came into the room, saying that Nick had let go to the darkness and that she wanted Raven to take Avery far, far away from here. Considering the few options they did still have as of right now. "I can teach you how to control it so that he can't build it back up. But as for the darkness that's inside of you-- I've called in a favor." He told her.


Raven took in the sight of Ruby's state. She was right, if Nick had let go and the darkness was truly inside of him and in control.. they needed to protect Avery. Ruby could handle herself with Blake's help along with others. But Avery was still young, even if she was powerful at her age it wouldn't be any good if Nick came seeking them and tried to hurt Avery while Ruby was doing something else. "I'll take her, away... I'll call when we get to a safe location." She told her, starting to head out of the room to collect Avery so that they could leave.


Nick sat up on the table when he felt the force field fall. Before standing up to face Opal and the queen. Which dismissed him and left shortly after. Turning to face Opal now that he knew her name when she asked him if she could do anything for him. Feeling the power of the darkness plus through his veins. It felt wonderful. He felt even more powerful then he had before. Starting to walk back and forth across the room and back. "Show me around. If I am to be here and help with this I need to know where to find things without getting lost. Then after that we shall see."


Leah nodded when he asked if it was something like an oracle. That was just what a seer was. How though that if it was the case. Grace had contracted one was beyond her knowing. Mainly because she knew Grace well enough to know that she'd never cheat on Will. Plus the fact that Werewolves hardly ever if at all were able to convince an oracle. "I will still run the tests just to make sure, that; that isn't what we're dealing with-- with your permission."

Ruby glanced at Blake and nodded. "Thank you." The other vampires should be arriving soon for the meeting. Thinking for a moment and turning to Raven. "I will call in a favor with someone to make arrangements for you two to stay with them. They will be safe there and I'm 110% sure Nick wouldn't think to look there. If he did I know for a fact that they have ways blocking out vampires." Ruby whispered taking out her phone and dialing Will's number.

Before Will could answer Leah his phone ring. "What do you want? Raven already told me what is happening."

"I am willingly to make a deal. I will sign the land treaty if and only if you take Avery and Raven and put them with the others that you will sent off. She will be safe there," Ruby said softly she would give up anything to protect her daughter even if it was giving up her land.

Will's eyes widened. "Did I hear you correctly?" he asked. Why was Ruby caving after a year? What was she protecting Avery from?

"Yes you did, but let's just get one thing straight. If anything happens to my daughter. I will personally kill you and any other werewolf that was responsible for her safety. That land you have now and the one you will have will be taken back." Her voice was cold and dangerous.

Will looked up at Justin he would have to clear it up with him. He probably heard the whole conversation to begin. "I may be a vampire, Will, but I keep my word. The treaty will be sign right after this as along as you take Avery and Raven." She assured him.

Will hesitated before answering. "That's a deal. Have them come over to the hospital now." He hung up the phone and looked towards Leah. "You can run whatever test you need to figure out what's wrong with Grace." They were going to get more land that they so desperately needed. "Raven and Avery are going to be part of the protected wolves. You probably heard everything and you also know that we need that land." He looked at Grace. "My nephew likes Avery so it shouldn't be problem." Then a thought dawned him. Was she protecting Avery from Nick, but why?

Ruby looked at Raven. "Get Avery and head to the hopstial. Will and the other wolves are going to protect you. Leave now." she whispered looking back Blake. Avery will be safe. She will save Nick.

Opal nodded her head. "Follow me, my Lord." she whispered softly. "The dark castle is a maze at times depending on the Queen's mood. Once you know the layout you can easily flash through the darkness." She showed him around the castle pointing out all the rooms including the room he will be staying at. "Is there anything else you would like my Lord?"

[Cassie 'The Thinker Go Go Go Go' Mis. Roben Goodfellow'\Isabelle Lightwood]

Justin had heard the whole thing, and he also knew that Will and his pack needed the land as well seeing as they where running low on it. Even though they had some they didn't have nearly enough to start with but now they would. Giving a nod. "I did. It's good to know that after a year she's agreeing to it, if I where you I wouldn't question on the why factor, so much as protecting the two of them that are coming to join the safety of the pack females and children." He said although he did have to wonder as well.


Raven nodded. "I will. Be careful though, and let the others help you win this even if I can't be there with you. But most immortally Ruby. Be brave. And if you need anything don't hesitate to call me." She told her totally serious. Wrapping her arms around Ruby in a hug before pulling back and heading out to get Avery and leave to go to the hospitable.



Nick thought deeply, on it for a moment. "No, that will be all, at least for now. " He told her as they headed back to the room he'd be staying in. "Although I was hoping you'd stay and assets with something,"

Opal turned around and looked at Nick. "What do you need help with?" Her purple eyes were filled with curiosity. She was up for anything devious, and knowing what she felt this would be that. "Let me guess you are wondering what the newborn Elder is up to?" She smiled wickedly. "Last time I checked she just awakened as a full Elder and wasn't doing so well. However, she is having a meeting with all the vampires very soon. If you wish to stop in and show them what you are made of then, I could help you with that. It would be something fun to stir up the pot." She snapped her fingers and a portal appeared in front of him. "If you leave now you should make on time." Pausing for am moment. "I mean no one knows she is an Elder that has darkness within her. If you expose her I doubt they will follow her lead into anything let alone a war against us." Opal laughed.


Will nodded his head slowly looking at Grace. "I am not too worried about, but there's only person who she would hide Avery from if it came to it." He whispered softly. "It doesn't matter we have to make sure that no vampire get's too her." He needed that land.

Ruby smiled faintly she didn't feel like putting the crown on or even getting ready for this meeting. Raven was soon gone with Avery. The poor thing, it was for the best. If Nick got his hands on her she could be easily courrputed. Soon vampires started to poor into her house. She felt on edge something big was going to happen at this meeting, but what? Her eyes widened there was a dark portal somewhere in this town she could sense the dark energy pouring through it.

[Cassie 'The Thinker Go Go Go Go' Mis. Roben Goodfellow'\Isabelle Lightwood]

That hadn't been Nicks plan but it would cause quit the stir. Since no one knew of Ruby's being an Elder let alone know of the darkness inside of her. But if he exposed her.. announced it at the meeting with every one being there... then that could make for some fun. Maybe even more then what he'd had in mind to began with. "Very well, we shall go to the meeting, and I will expose her little secret. Then after we shall come back here and began the next steep that I have in mind."



Justin nodded, in consideration. "Very well, I'll extend the notice that they will be staying within the safety zones we'll have. And that no vampire is allowed to touch them, or the wolves. Because they will be under our protection during all of this. If you don't mind me asking though, seeing as I'm not in contact with them as much, who would she be hiding her daughter from?"


Raven had taken Avery along with a bag of clothes for her to change into and a couple of toys. Before heading to the hospital to meet Will and whoever else was with him. Putting the pack on her back and carrying Avery. Deciding that running there would be faster then taking a car. Plus if they were in any danger at all it was better to be faster then to take chances.

[onceuponatimeareview]

Opal smiled softly. "Very well then my Lord, the meeting begins very in about 5 mins." To say she was devious was an understatement. The Queen herself loved power, but Opal knew having knowledge could be used as a better weapon than most power. She stepped through the portal waiting for Nick to go through. Opal flashed to the house quickly she would let Nick be the first one to walk in.

Ruby clenched her fists tightly she was very weak still from everything. Her face went pale all the vampires were here they were just waiting for her. But that suffocating power was back she felt her knees tremble. "Blake if I tap into the Elder powers and the darkness at once then the others would notice, but if I don't do it then I will faint like all the other vampires." That portal was still open was Nick going to walk through there. She stumbled towards the door and opened it. "Hello and welcome to the meeting. As you can feel we will have some guests. I want all of you to go down to the basement now. Blake will put a guard up to protect you." They all scurried to the basement. Ruby snapped into a red low cut dress and her crown as she sat on the couch waiting for them to walk in. Her people were safe for now and so was her daughter.

Will glanced at Justin his eyes widened. "That power is back. I hope Raven and Avery get here quickly." He sighed. "The only person Ruby would protect her daughter from is Nick. Raven did say Nick was kidnapped, but why turn him dark? It would be better to turn Ruby dark." He whispered softly knowing that she is an Elder, Justin didn't need to do that.

Avery was sleeping still, but as soon as that power entered the town her eyes shot open. "Auntie Raven, daddy is coming to visit mommy. Daddy isn't daddy. Mommy has to be very brave" She whispered softly.

[Cassie 'The Thinker Go Go Go Go' Mis. Roben Goodfellow'\Isabelle Lightwood]

Nick walked through the portal, then offered his arm to Opal once they had arrived at the door of the house. Seeing as if they were going to do this they might as well do it in style. He thought, sensing all the vampires inside. Walking to the door and knocking on it, seeing as even if he did mean to expose her they shouldn't be rude until it was called for.


Blake knew that she was feeling weak, he could sense it and he wondered if the others in the basement could as well. Leaving her once the last of the vampires had entered the basement. Putting up a safety wall so that they couldn't break through it and harm the others. Before returning to her side in the living room. "I know, but if it is something you feel you must do in order to protect your people then-- you should. We can always work out everything when all is said and done. But right now, you must be brave. Nick is on his way here if he isn't already. But he isn't going to be the same Nick you know, and love. So you have to keep focus and believe in yourself, as well as your people and that no matter what happens they will help defend you." He said just as there was a knock on the door.


Justin felt his mouth turn down in thought. Feeling the power as well, it had returned and it felt even darker then before, at least to him it did. Starting to pace the room. "They should be here soon. I can smell them already." He said glancing to both Will and Leah.


Raven looked down at Avery as she woke and they entered the hospital. Hearing that even Avery could sense it, maybe even much stronger then the rest of them could. And knew that Nick wasn't who he used to be, and that he was paying a visit to Ruby even without knowing anything more. "Yes, she does have to be very brave... can you be brave for me to? Just like mommy has to be brave?"

[onceuponatimeareview]

Ruby nodded her head she tapped into her powers a little bit to give her strength. Hearing the door knock, Nick. Feeling Nick made her world start to collapse around her. "Come on in honey, we have been waiting for you. It took you long enough to get here" She yawned in bordem. She let her blue eye flashed golden. With of a blink of an eye she blew the door open. "Awww I see you brought a friend. I hope you don't mind I have Blake." This was her first look at Nick his power was overwhelming. "Now tell me what you want and maybe I can possibly help you."

Opal looked at Ruby she hid the vampires in the basement. "Nick they are all in the basement, but they can hear and feel everything that is going on. Expose her Nick."

She got up off the couch. "Yeah, Nick expose me. I mean by now they probably felt my shift in power to and Elder's power." Ruby looked at him. "Opal is it this has nothing to do with you yet. Don't get wrong I will kill you, but this is between my mate and I." Her eyes wondered back to Nick his eyes were dark she was being sucked in her facade was crumbling as her eyes returned to blue.

Opal laughed. "You can't even look at Nick without crumbling. You are weak. Your emotions prevent you from doing anything. Nick is going to call the darkness out from you. I wonder if you can handle that." She laughed wickedly.


Avery shifted her position. "Will and Grace." Then her mind went to her mother. "Mommy she was doing so well, but daddy is very strong. Daddy isn't daddy." Tears ran down her face. "I want mommy and daddy."
