Nicholas wrapped her up in his arms around her. "I know this is all so confusing for you right now.. I want to help you, truly I do. But for me to be able to do so, you'll have to trust me, even when it doesn't make a whole lot of since to you. Trust me that I'm doing whatever it is for a reason, and not just to kill time. I love you, so please... just trust me." He whispered. He was also starting to get an idea on what was possibly going on. Was it possible that even though she- Avalon- never knew Ruby. That she could still have some of her traits and in having them she was blocking out the bad and what hurt the most and that was what was causing the memory loss?



James nodded. "Why don't we head on to the pack house then.. he's gone someplace seeing as he isn't around I can check on Grace and the two of you can handle what you need to." He told Justin and Will seeing as Avery had just clarified that Nicholas wasn't around just then so there was no real point now in turning back to go tell him.

[onceuponatimeareview]

Avalon wrinkled her forehead. "What she was doing was a waste of time. Nothing physically is wrong with me it doesn't take genius to figure it out. Not to mention I feel fine, you're the one who is telling me that something is wrong with me, but I feel fine." It was true she felt fine, but she felt something buzzing in her and she wanted it to stop. No she needed it to stop. The buzzing was memories and powers she was suppressing, part of her didn't want to handle it wanted to move forward in ignorant bliss.

Will kept driving indeed to the pack house.

"Why is everyone calling daddy Nicholas? His name is Nick." Avery asked Will.

Will looked at James through the view-rear mirror. It was a question only James could answer properly.

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

Nicholas nodded. "I know, but it never hurts to double check even if it isn't necessary. Raven's one of the best healers around today, that is supernatural. Love, I know this is all so hard and confusing for you. Seeing as you can't remember what happened a week ago but you can recall memories of years past like they all happened yesterday. I think what's going on is, you might have a memory block. Not one someone cast on you, but somehow your pushing those memories back so you can't see them because you don't want it to hurt." He told her gently. It wasn't uncalled of. While she was Avalon, some part of her was doing it based on who Ruby used to be.


James caught Will's look in the mirror giving him a nod before turning to Avery once more. "I know it doesn't all make sense and that your most likely still upset with me, but if you'll let me answer I can explain your question. Uncle Will knows some but it'd be easier if I explained it." he told her.

[onceuponatimeareview]

Avalon backed away from Nicholas. "I don't believe you. I have no reason to block out memories, emotions, or power." Avalon whispered looking down at her hands, which were shaking. Tears ran down her face. The buzzing was becoming more apparent. "Make it go away. Make it go away." She fell to her knees. Everything she was trying to block was slowly coming to the surface. Something inside her was urging her to shut it off. "I can make it all go away."

Will stopped the car as the arrived to the pack house. "It's better if you disguise what you are James. If they realize a guardian is among us they won't be too happy." Will whispered. "We should probably discuss moving my pack back to our territory. Since Delilah is dead. "

Avery look out the window. "Mommy is contemplating shutting everything off. I don't want mommy to be that way again."

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

Nicholas remembered how Ruby was when she shut her emotions off. And that never ended well for any of them. He could only imagine what it would be like if Avalon shut them off. It would be complete chaos. For all he knew she would end up like her sister just without all of the darkness. But uncaring non the less. Kneeling down in front of her an taking her shoulders. "Love,- Avalon... look at me. You don't have to believe me, even though I wish you would. But you cant shut it off, your stronger then this. Your stronger then it. I know it might not seem like it but I know you, and I love you. For so many reasons... one of them for how strong you are, even when you doubt yourself and you don't believe you are. I see how strong you are, you aren't weak. So don't do this. We can face it together if only you'll let me in.."



James nodded. "I will. I doubt any of them would be very pleased with that news..." he told him then cloaked who he really was. Or rather what he was. So that he appeared as just another wolf. Looking to the girl again. Bending down to her height to draw her attention to him. "Your mother is very strong... inside and out. As long as she has Nicholas with her she'll be safe."

[onceuponatimeareview]

Avalon frowned she knew how strong she was, but the idea of letting in whatever was trying to break free terrified her. Her eyes glanced up at Nicholas. "I know I am strong, but it is like a war raging inside me," Avalon whispered softly. "I never doubted my strength before, why are you acting as if this event is a recurring one." She pulled away from his touch. "Whatever is trying to break free, I don't want it to Nicholas." Tears ran down her cheeks. "I don't know why, but I don't want it to." She had to act quick before it broke free. Acting impulsively Avalon shut it off to prevent the suppressed memories from returning. Avalon looked up Nicholas. "Is everything okay, you look concerned?"


Avery looked at James. "Mommy is very strong, but she doesn't want to remember these past months. . . " her voices trailed off. "Mommy shut if off, do you think daddy could get it back on." Tears ran down Avery's face. "The last mommy shut if off she was mean to me and daddy. I don't want that again."

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

Nicholas was very worry, and a small part of Nick was as well that he could feel inside of himself. Looking at her in concern. Not knowing if she'd only shut off her memories of the past couple of months or the whole thing...emotions and all. Seeing as the last time she shut her emotions off, things had gone bad very, very fast. For all of their slakes. Avery, him, Blake... everyone that had come into contact with her. Answering slowly. "I- I'm not sure.." He told her honestly. Seeing as he wasn't. He wasn't in the slightest.



James looked sadly at Avery. Reaching up and whipping her tears away from her cheeks, like he'd done with Avalon all those years back when they were still kids and she would get hurt playing. "Did she shut off her emotions as well? Can you tell?" He asked her gently. "I'm sure he can given time.. don't worry little one. Your safe as long as your here, and your dad wont give up on her no matter what."

[onceuponatimeareview]

Avalon looked down trying to regain her composure. She still wasn't better from fighting her sister. Her eyes widened as memories started to flow in. "No. Please make it stop." Tears returned to her eyes as she started to shake. "Nick. . ." her body couldn't handle everything hitting her at once. "Please make it stop. It hurts too much."

Avery looked at James. "I can't tell." she sniffled. Avery was forcing the memories and emotions on her mother. "I know daddy won't give up on her. Everything will be okay now." she skipped off to play with the kids her age.

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

Nicholas reached over to her. "Shhh, it's going to be okay. Look at me. Focus on me." He told her pulling her face up to look at him. Wondering if by some chance someone was making her face them anyways.



James nodded, then stood up to let her go. At least it was something. Hoping that she would forget about all of this for a bit while play with the others. Turning to Will and Justin. "Now. What do you want me to address first?"

[onceuponatimeareview]

Avalon looked into Nicholas eyes. "It is not okay. I don't know who I am Nicholas. Am I Avalon or Ruby? Am I vampire or blood witch? It is all my fault you are Nicholas and not Nick. It is my fault Nick go into this situation in the first place. Just want it to go away. Please." Her voice trembled.

Will looked at Avery he could feel her using her powers, but for what? "Grace." Will said immediately.

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

"I don't know... I'm so sorry. You are whoever you want to be, only you can make that decision, and no matter what you chose I'll love you either way. No, Nick risked his life to save yours all those years ago. He jumped into the way of a fly stake to save you from dying. He knew what he was doing when he did it, and he would do it again, if he had to. I would do it again. I wish I could help you fight this more, but I don't know how... I thought that whatever you did stopped it but, now I don't think so. I know it hurts like hell, but if you can make it through without too much pain, then you can do anything. I know that the memories hurt, and that you wish you didn't remember them, but each other and time it'll heal. The pain of it will at least." He comforted her rubbing a finger across her cheek to clam her.



James nodded once when Will spoke first. Requesting that he look at the Grace first. "Very well then, lead the way.." He told him casting a look to Justin assuming that he wouldn't be joining them right now.

[onceuponatimeareview]

She shook her head.. "I knew someone was coming for Nick. I told Blake and we still went to get ice cream. I told him to let go to the darkness. I told him to awaken you Nicholas. No I forced him to wake you up. He wouldn't be any in of this mess if it weren't for me." her eyes shook her head, "Avalon is strong, I am not strong. I am all over the place, reckless. I wish I could be like Avalon. Nicholas can you lock Avalon up, just for now. Till I can figure out everything. I think there is too much going on in my mind." She was doing what she did best run from her problems.

Will led him to the infirmary. "Leah is Justin's healer. She is unsure what is wrong with her, but we did talk about the legends of the Earth Princess and the babies might be a seekers. Leah this is James he is a lone wolf looking for pack, he is familiar with the legends and is an excellent healer."

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

Nicholas knew that both Ruby and Avalon were strong. Rather or not Ruby always believed it herself. He knew. He always had. But he also knew that she was trying to run away from her problems when she couldn't. Not this time. While Delilah might be dead and gone. Opal was still out there, and Grace was possibly hosting seekers. They couldn't afford for either of them not to be ready to deal with the worst should it arise. Letting his hands fall from her face to take her own in his. "And yet in the end after all the harsh words, and the fights, and the darkness he came back.. I was already stirring inside of him, even before he allowed me to wake completely. He knew it. I knew it. Plus he also knew that it needed to happen in order to handle her. Love, as much as your going through... and the pain, I honestly don't think that's the best course of action."


((Is she still Avalon or is she turning back into Ruby again?))



James fallowed Will into the infirmary, looking around. Spotting the girl he had been told about, Leah. Smiling and holding out his hand. "it's nice to meet you, I've heard grate things about your ability to heal.. Now so far what are you suspecting besides that the babies she carries may be seekers?"


Leah smiled shaking his hand, glad to see that Will and Justin where back. Things had been strained since they'd been gone but now hopefully that would start to change. "Thank you, it's nice to meet you as well. Well before Will and Justin left to go check things out we were sepcuating that Grace may be carrying Seekers. Due to the fact that we had heard rumors that the Earth Princesses had awoken and that in the beginning when she was alive she had followers called Seekers. Then it was confirmed that she was indeed awake. However, she's been in this state since.... well even before they left. Will took her to a hospital but they couldn't help her, so when he brought her here I did an ultra sound to see if they may of missed something. I found that she was pregnant. But that's were things get tricky. I had asked Will on countless occasions on rather or not it was possible that it was their child. Every time he said that it was impossible, that they hadn't done, it. So there was no chance. After that we looked into the Legends. But we couldn't pin point any one thing to her condition. Over the time that they've been gone I've kept a close watch on her while healing any others that have come in. Her condition never changed. I've been holding the ultra sounds every so often to check in and see if anything in her has changed, only besides some slight growth, nothing out of the normal. Even for a werewolf pregnancy." She informed him, looking at Will after she was done apologetically.


James nodded as he understood. "Let me see her then. Maybe I can find something that either you overlooked although it sounds as if you've done a fine job. Or else I can come up with a method upon waking her, with any luck." He told them.

Leah agreed. Starting to lead them to the room where they'd put her when she arrived. "Here she is... " She told them leading them into the room an then standing off to the side so that James could look her over for himself and hopefully go about doing something to help her more then she could.

[onceuponatimeareview]

"I took the real Ruby's place Nicholas." she whispered softly. "Therefore I was always Avalon, but I took the real Ruby's place what if I took her mate too? What if Nick was never supposed to be with me? What if somehow I forced you into him?" She squeezed his hand, "I don't feel like the person of my past memories. I feel the same way I did a couple months of ago. I want to feel the same way I did in the past. The same way I felt when I first awakened." Pausing for a moment, "I took the real Ruby's family, I took her life, I took everything from her, and so many other girls. How am I supposed to live my life knowing that? How am I supposed know who I really am if everything I remember was fake?" Avalon whispered softly, tears glistened in her eyes.


Avery glanced at the infirmary and skipped over. "Don't worry the Earth Princess has awakened, but not fully. Ellie says that once the Earth Princess fully awakens then Grace will wake up. Ellie says the Earth Princess is struggling to come to terms with everything, but don't worry Grace will wake up. The Earth Princess will need her seekers epseically for the great darkness that is about to come." Avery skipped off back playing with the kids.

Will listened to what Leah said, when Avery skipped in he frowned. He looked over at Grace and then back to James. "Not only is James a great healer he is also great with kids. Maybe he and I should go talk to Avery to see what she meant by that." As much as he wanted to know what was wrong with Grace, what Avery said to them sent chills down his spine. Will knew Avery wouldn't speak to James alone, so he had to go with him.

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

Nicholas shook his head. He didn't know the answers to those questions. Although when she had been born she hadn't had control over what had happened to the real Ruby. She had been placed in her spot while they transferred the real Ruby to someplace else unknown now to them though. "You, aren't responsible for taking her place all those years ago. You weren't the one to make that call. And for some reason someone put you in her place, I don't know why. Maybe Blake or James would know but we'll never know unless we ask them and we listen to them. Maybe. Or maybe not. We've been brought together in every life we've ever lived with each other. What's to say that this one should of been any different? For all we know, Ruby the real one is off someplace living her life happily unknowing to any of this. Maybe she's already found the love of her life, and they're settling down. It's all possible but we'll never know. But I'm willing to hope for the best. For her. For us. What do you mean? How did you feel in past lives and when you were awakened?" He asked. He knew how he had felt in past lives and how it was when he had been awakened but how he did and she did could be totally different.



Leah felt a chill hearing what the little girl said. Sometimes Avery had the habit of freaking her out. No doubt that some of the others that knew her well felt the same. Swallowing back whatever she had been about to say nodding. " Go talk to her, I'll keep an eye on Grace while the two of you are gone.." She told Will. Going over and sitting down in the chair next to the bed to keep her company while the two were gone.


James was worried. He hadn't been a moment ago, before Avery came in and said that. But that worried him. What other darkness was there besides Delilah and she was now dead. Feeling a chill run through him. " Think that would be wise right about now... " He said already starting to head for the door.

[onceuponatimeareview]

Avalon looked up at Nicholas listening to everything he said. He was right. "Well when I first was awakened I felt like me, but now it's like I'm more of the person Ruby was than me. Like you are completely in control and Nick is more like a subconscious. But after awhile Ruby was convinced that we were the same person, which is partly true, so it's like something missing." Avalon shook her head. "It's nothing."

Will walked to where Avery was knelt down to her height. "Avery what did you mean by what you said?"

Avery raised her eyebrows. "I meant exactly what I said. The Earth Princess isn't fully awakened yet. Ellie says that the Earth Princess must fully awaken before Grace can. She also mentioned that a great darkness is on it's way. Scarlet Avalon Emerson is the Earth Princess's name maybe someone can help her wake up." Avery shrugged and ran off?

Will wrinkled his forehead. Avalon was a middle name? If Scarlet was the first name that would be the same as Ruby. But why say her name is Avalon? He looked at James. "James do you care to shed light on why your sister is going by her middle name. Does she not remember Scarlet? Also Scarlet and Ruby although two different names deal with the color red. Why would Blake say she replaced the real Ruby?"

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

Nicholas listened intentally to what Avalon was saying. Trying to remember anything from their past lives that might be missing now. The love was their as was the power and respect on both their ends. But... what if it had nothing to do with her memory as they had first suspected it had. What if it had something to do with... them? As a whole? While he could remember Nick as he was before he had fully awoken and he remembered who he was... at points in time he had felt as though he was missing something as well. Although while Nick wasn't as pounced as it seemed Ruby was for Avalon he still knew that he was there. What if it had something to do with... their names? Recalling only now that Avalon had been a middle name. Her middle name. Maybe she felt as if she was missing something because she was? She was missing the rest of her name. Maybe that would change things.. Remembering his as well now. Nicholas Jacob Blackston. His whole name. His real name. Just as Nicks had been Nick Fowl. "I know what's missing.... something is missing. But I just figured out what it was.." he told her. Waiting only a moment before going on. "Your full name."



Ah. He had only faintly wondered on why his sister was going by her middle name. But even back the first time she'd gone by Avalon and not by Scarlet. So it would only make some kind of since for her to think even believe that her name was Avalon and not Scarlet. If she only remembered ever being called Avalon. "I had wondered on why she wasn't going by Scarlet in this life. But even back before in the very beginning she didn't go by her first name. She always went by Avalon. So it would stand to reason she thought that was her name. I don't think so, at least not yet. They do. But here's where things get complicated to say the least..." He told him thinking on how better to explain this. "I've kept tabs on her since she was born should she be Avalon. Seeing as even at a young age she exipted signs of being my sister. But I wasn't sure until she called. She did take the real Ruby's place. When Ruby's parents- the ones you knew- had a child even though they were both vampires somehow the child turned out human. It was almost impossible to believe but they knew that a human would never be accepted as the next vampire queen when the time came. So they called the elders. Blake was assigned to the case. Instead of killing the baby girl he took her and placed her in the care of two humans. Loving parents and was beyond joy with finally getting to have a child of their own. They hadn't been able to have one so agreed to take her and raise her as their own. But never tell her of it. All the paper work was filled out the same night so should anyone come looking it was all legal. Once she was placed in their care, Blake went about trying to find a replacement for them. He found an unlikely baby girl, she'd been placed in foster care due to.... unusual behavior. She was refusing to drink her milk and all that and only cried when they tried to give her anything. But that wasn't it. The couple that had her also claimed that sometimes she would float, or do other things they believed she didn't even understand she was doing. But in truth she was doing magic. They couldn't handle it anymore. So they put her up for adoption. That's how Blake found her. After he did what needed to be done he went and took her back to her parents and explained the situation to them. They agreed to the terms set out, and went about raising her. That girl that Blake gave to her parents was named: Scarlet Avalon Emerson. Even though it wasn't known to the humans or even to her parents. Seeing as the parents that birthed her named her Violet. But once she was handed over into their care they named her Ruby. So you see.... she had no idea of her true nature until this all arose. I only know it because Blake told me when I arrived."

....................

[onceuponatimeareview]

((Crap my post didn't save.))

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

((Nope. 'Fraid not.))

[onceuponatimeareview]

Avalon raised her eyebrows and laughed a little bit. "My full name is Avalon Cordelia Emerson. Cordelia for my grandmother and Avalon as in the place where King Arthur pulled his sword out a symbol of hope." What he was saying didn't make sense and sound crazy.


Will looked at him. "When she had that freak out?" Will asked. "Someone needs to tell her that, but how would that prevent her from awakening? And if she isn't fully awakened couldn't Nicholas just do what she did to awake him?" Will asked


((Sorry it's so short. I honestly forgot what I had.))

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

((That always sucks when that happens.))



Nicholas considered this.. No. That didn't sound right. The Avalon part was right. But, the rest of it wasn't.. at least he didn't think so. He thought he remembered it being something else. Searching his memory for anything to pop out to see if he was right or not. "I... " Unless she had changed her name after he had died all those many years ago. That was the only thing that he could think of an made sense to him. Seeing as he remembered her as Scarlet now. Scarlet Avalon. Although he still couldn't recall her last name. "Love--- you didn't happen to change your name after... after I died all those years ago did you?" He knew it sounded crazy. It even sounded crazy to him. But he had to check.




Blake considered this then nodded. "Put simply: Yes. I suppose you could consider it a freak out, of sorts. The more detailed answer would be this: Seeing as Ruby's parents were prevented from ever telling her this, for safety reasons, she had no idea of her true identity until said freak out, or more likely until she felt Nick go dark during his visit with her sisters. Seeing as in turn not only would that have awoken her, but it would also cause her to reach out and seek Nicholas, and try to get him to awaken in order to stand against her sisters until he could find a way back to her. But in theory Nicholas could go in to a trance like state to get her to wake up fully as well as she had to do with him. Although unlike my sister, Nicholas came a little later and didn't inharet some of the stronger traits. Even though he is still very strong, it is possible that Avalon would fight him, if he tried to awaken her that way. She has always been a stubborn one. Although I will get him on the line and explain the situation to him, to see if he'd be willing to try to do so."

[onceuponatimeareview]

Avalon shook her head. "No it has always been Avalon Cordelia Emerson." Her eyebrows furrowed downwards. "Why are you acting like I'm lying. I know my name." she snapped. "Avalon was also my mother's name. Scarlet Avalon Emerson, she was the previous Earth Princess before she died." Avalon said gazing at rubble that surrounded her. "Technically mother is still the Earth Princess because of various factors." But what the factors are she could not remember. "I don't remember why, but it doesn't matter."

Will looked at the guardian who stood before him. "Well get Nick on the line and have him do it." He could care less on why Avalon didn't want to be fully awakened. It was her fault that Grace is still the in that state.

Avery glanced at Ellie. "I know what I did was wrong, but they have to wake up the Earth Princess fully" she whispered softly. The darkness we feel can only be stopped by her, but it was a complete lie. Scarlet Avalon Emerson is still the Earth Princess, just the manipulating their memories is wrong." Tears ran down her face, "They cannot find out."

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

Nicholas shook his head not meaning that. He didn't mean to come off as if she was lying about her own name. But still there was that nagging feeling. Taking her shoulders lightly in his hands. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to seem as if I was accusing you of lying about your name. But I have a nagging feeling as if something isn't quit right, that's all." He explained.



James nodded, briefly. "Very well then. Excuse me." he said already walking out into the hall again while digging out his cell in his pocket. Punching in Nick's phone number and listening to it ring.


Nicholas heard his phone go off, frowning. It wasn't a good time and seeing as he had just been explaining to her what he felt. Letting out a harsh breath when it started up a second time. "I better get this..." He said feeling bad that he had to but clearly whoever it was that wanted to talk to him wasn't going to be letting up until he answered the phone. Walking a short distance away and answering it: "hello?"

"Nicholas, it's James... we made it to the pack house fine. But we believe that we've figured out why Avalon hasn't awakened all the way. Her name. She can only remember her middle name. Her full name was Scarlet Avalon Emerson. I only recalled it because of something Will brought up. But thought it natural for her to go by Avalon seeing as that was what she'd remember going by the most. Because even then she used her middle and not first name. It's quite a long story. One best given in person I believe. But, in the mean time you should try and awaken her, fully. Try to do as she did for you so that you awoken to began with. And if she can't then help her. I know you may not be at your full power yet, but your stronger then you give yourself credit for. Once you do, don't worry about calling. We'll know by Grace."


Nicholas frowned as he listened to James on the phone. He had thought so. But he hadn't been sure and seeing as if James of all people were telling him this then, it had to be real. Seeing as James wouldn't lie about something like this. "Alright. I'll see what I can do, I'll get back to you on updates if I need to."


James nodded on the other end of the phone. "Very well then. Until then." He finished then hung up and walked back in.

[onceuponatimeareview]

Avery overheard the conversation that James was having with her father. There was no way he didn't suspect what she did to their memories. Maybe if she came clean then the punishment would be less severe. She walked up to James when he hung up. "I have a confession to make. I sort of manipulated your memories to make you believe the Earth Princess's real name is Scarlet Avalon Emerson and that is true, but there is new one and she isn't fully awakened yet. All I know Ellie says she needs to wake up because of the darkness." Avery had tears falling down her face. "I'm sorry."

Avalon titled her head. "Is everything okay Nicholas?" She slighted overheard their conversation on the phone. Panic spread across her quickly. Scarlet was her mother's name was her brother insisting that it was her name? She was paralyze with fear. "Please Nicholas don't do it" Tears fell down her face she would allow him to do it. "You're not strong enough to do it. You're weak compared to me." Insults were her attempting to discourage him from not doing it.

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

James keeled down to be on eye level with the girl as he felt her tug on his pants leg as she told him she had a confession to make. Going on the explain what she'd done. Touching her check ever so softly. "Then what is her real name? My mothers name as Avalon Emerson... So the Earth Princess real name now has to be Scarlet.... I know that she isn't fully awakened yet, or else as we've said Grace would be awake as well..." Looking again to the stuffed toy she had clutched in her hands. "Darkness? Does Ellie sense something dark is coming again?" Seeing as despite how powerful James was and his status he hadn't even sensed anything Dark coming. Not yet at least.



((I'm going to hold off on doing Nick's seeing as I have a feeling that something big is going to happen with Avery, Ellie, and James in the coming posts so I'll hold off. Just in case James has to make a quick call to Nick again and tell him other wise.))

[onceuponatimeareview]

"Mommy is the next Earth Princess, but she has yet to be crowned the Earth Princess. So technically your mother Scarlet Avalon Emerson is still the Earth Princess." Looking down at the ground. "Mommy has to be fully awakened in order to become the Earth Princess, but she is holding back for some reason. Ellie says there it has something to do with the rituals for being crowned Earth Princess." Avery paused. "Ellie says the Dark Lord is coming if the Earth Princess isn't properly awakened and crowned then she can be persuade to the dark side easily because she is in a in between state. Please, daddy has to wake her up before the Dark Lord comes to get mommy." Avery had tears fall down her face.

(( Okay))

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

James nodded feeling so bad for the little girl he knew so little about. Despite her staying here and being his sisters daughter he still knew next to nothing about the girl. Swiping her tears away with a finger. "Shhh, it will be okay. He's going to awaken her all the way and then if he still comes then they'll be able to stop him. Ellie is very smart, too just as you are." he told her gently. Hearing that Leah and Will were still in the room with Grace.


((So IS Avalon's real name Scarlet Avalon Emerson or is it what she told Nicholas it was when she accused him of thinking she was lying about when he wasn't?))

((It's what Avalon told Nicholas. Scarlet Avalon Emerson is their her and James's mother name))

Avery looked at Ellie then to James. "You don't understand mommy doesn't want to be awaken. I don't know if daddy can do it. Ellie is skeptical too. He has to do it now." she whispered. "They showed me everything, what they were trying to do. They already succeed summoning the Dark Lord. If he gets what he wants then the Earth will be a bad place." Avery hadn't told anyone what happened to her while she was kidnapped until now.

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

((Okay.))



James nodded again, as he listened. Holding up a finger to halt her for only a moment. Calling Nicholas again. "Things have changed.... her name isn't Scarlet that was our mothers name before she passed... she was telling the truth. But you must wake her up and now." He told him, only pausing for a moment. "You must. It's important to everyone that you do, yes... we all wish you the best of luck." He told him the hung up the phone once more. "Your dad is very powerful as is your mom, although he sometimes lacks the belief that he is... but I know how much he loves your mom and she loves him. Together they can do just about anything. We wont let that happen.. I can promise you that." he told her with a little hopeful smile. While they might have a fight on their hands soon enough again, no matter how bad it might get he wouldn't allow that to happen.




Nicholas had gone to tell her something, assure her that he could if only she'd let him. When his phone rang yet again. Answering it and only listening. Asking only one question before he heard James hang up again. Turning to Avalon. "I can, do it. You know I can and if it means keeping you safe and everyone else I will do it even if it leaves me in a weakened state once it's done. Please, while your brother might not of said a 'why' he sounded worried. Worried enough for alarm at least from me. This has to be done, love."

[onceuponatimeareview]

Avery looked up at James. "Okay." she said skeptical about what he was saying. "She's going to put up a fight James. What if daddy isn't strong enough to break through her defenses?"

Avalon backed up slowly. "I won't let you." she hissed. Little did she know she backed herself into a dead end. Avalon was ready to put up a fight of the life time. She enclosed herself in fire. "You will have to get a hold of me first, but even if you do I can and will reject it." Avalon knew Nicholas couldn't break through her fire wall unless he used most of his energy, which would be a waste of time because he would be unable to awaken her fully.

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

James could tell that she was skeptical about his words. But then again did he believe them fully himself? He wanted to but he wasn't sure he could. But he also wasn't about to let Avery sense that from him either. "I know she will, she's stubborn like that. Always has been. But even if he can't break through her defenses he can talk her down, from it. Get her to see reason let him do it. That has always been a gift of your fathers. He can talk just about anyone out of something, that he knows is a bad idea, get them to see reason so that they don't hurt themselves or others..."


Nicholas knew that he wasn't nearly powerful enough to break through those fire walls an still have the power to break into her mind and get her to awaken fully. While he was powerful he also wasn't as powerful as his counter part. Avalon. "Love, don't do this... I know your scared of me awakening you fully. But I don't understand why, and even then, when you are we'll still be together. There is nothing to be afraid of.. I wont hurt you. But James is right, I know it, you know it.. so just let me do it. Plus with how worried he sounded even though he didn't say why wouldn't it be better to be papried and ready should something else be coming? I'm not saying there is but, wouldn't you rather we do this then risk anything else?"

[onceuponatimeareview]

Avery looked down. "I want to believe you, but Ellie told me the process. Delilah showed me the process. I would be terrified too, but it must be done." Avery whispered softly. "Daddy has to find a way."




Avalon looked at Nicholas. "You honestly think I am afraid of the power or you or my brother?" she hissed. "I'm not afraid of that." Avalon shook her head. "James may be right, but that still doesn't change my mind. You'll either have to force me or it will never happen." She knew Nicholas was good at talking people down and maybe he could have if was something else. When she is fully awaken then she would have to become the Earth Princess, and she didn't want to go through that process. It sent shivers down her spine thinking about it; as she was lost in thought her wall of fire disappeared with her realizing it.

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

James didn't even know the process. Seeing as he couldn't become it he had no reason to learn it. Taking her hand softly now. "I'm sure he will somehow. Would you mind telling me about the process? You don't have to if you don't want to..."




Nicholas knew that she hadn't registered that her fire wall was no longer pretest and around her. Which could end up playing in his favor. "Then tell me what you are afraid of... I know you love. I know when your scared, worried... I know you. And right now your afraid. Only I don't know what it is you are afraid of. So help me understand." He told her, Taking a couple of steeps in her detection. Being careful though. Seeing as if she threw it back up then he would be forced to break into her mind and forgo the firewall all together, in order to get to her.

[onceuponatimeareview]

Avery shook her head. "I'm not even suppose to know." she whispered softly.

Avalon glanced up at Nicholas her eyebrows furrowed upwards. "I am not allowed to tell you. No one is allowed to know." Nicholas voice was comforting everything about him was comforting. She felt herself move forward to Nicholas, she was now within touching distance near Nicholas. Her eyes widened in fear because her body wanted Nicholas' comfort. "No, I won't allow you to do it." She put up a fire wall. Nicholas could smother the fire with his wind power at this distance.

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

James nodded once more. "Alright, then I wont ask again seeing as I can tell that it's a secret that only the Princess go through." Thinking that now would be a good time to switch the topic. To get her mind off of all of this. "Have you had the chance to go and see all of your friends here yet?"



Nicholas knew that he had the power to put out the fire using his own wind power from here. Although he had been hoping for a different out come. But here they were. Making his mouth an 'O' and blowing ever so softly, yet it was enough to get rid of the fire. "We must do this... if not for us or for your brother then for the earth it's self. You need to be awakened in order to claim it and to protect it. So that it dosn't becoming something we'll all hate seeing each morning we wake." He told her once more, starting to sense that her state of mind was beginning to weaken. Soon he'd be able to break in and awaken her.

[onceuponatimeareview]

Avalon knew what was happening, she was stronger than this. Closing her yes clearing her mind of everything, but her resolved. She engulfed herself into flames with a simple flick of the wrist the flames engulfed Nicholas. "You will have to do better than that. I am not going out without a fight. You had your chance to awaken me and your fool for not taking it. You will have to do it by force." Avalon knew her body was weakening because she wasn't fully awakened yet, but shrugged it off for now.

Avery looked at James. "Yes, and it was fun. I was playing with Ellie, but she's gone right now."

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

Nicholas could sense her weakening sure that she could sense it in herself as well. It was because she wasn't fully awakened. While James hadn't told him the 'why' he could feel now that it was very important and cursual that he do it. And soon. Waving his hand and dismissing the fire around him all together. "You have always been a stubborn one, but that never stopped me from loving you and wanting to help you when you needed it." He told her clamliy as if it didn't phrase him at all. Starting to fight his way into her mind. Clamping down on it.



That made James wonder even more if Ellie was their grandmother. Or if it was someone else. Although from what she'd told him, it had to be her. "I'm glad you enjoyed yourself... why don't you go find Will's nephew? I have a feeling he'd be happy to see you right now, seeing as I don't remember seeing him when we arrived..."

[onceuponatimeareview]

Avalon cursed under her breath nothing was working. She could feel him entering her mind. She stopped diminished the fire around her and walked towards Nicholas. "If you do this, I will never forgive you." It took all her might to even get these words out of her mouth. Avalon felt all her will escape her body. He could do anything right now and she would be okay with it.

"I am tired of playing. I want to go home now." Avery said looking at all the other kids her age. They were avoiding her because she wasn't one of them, and that was okay. "Will said something about ice cream. I want ice cream now."

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

It was the same words she had spoken to him more the twenty menllina's ago now. When he had gone off to find her sisters and bring them to justice without her giving the final yes or no answer. He had simply done what he thought right. When she had caught him walking out backpack over his shoulder or what counted as a backpack back then. She had told him that if he walked out those doors to go look for them and bring them to justice she would never forgive him for it because it wasn't primited. But then he had come back an sure it had taken time but she had forgiven him finally for breaking code. "I'm sorry... but I have to." he told her gently. Reaching up an touching her cheek ever so softly. Before forging ahead.



James nodded. "Lets go see Will so that he can take you two to get some," He told her standing back up. Plus he did need to look over Grace again to see if anything had changed or if he'd missed something.

[onceuponatimeareview]

"No you don't" Avalon whispered tears ran down her face. She had two options let some darkness seep in or give in. Letting the darkness seep in meant she could be able to fight Nicholas off for awhile longer. Acting quickly and letting a little bit of darkness in and pushing Nicholas out of her mind. "Like I said before you will have to do it by force." She knew she couldn't hold him off much longer, but Avalon refused to go down without a fight.

"James, daddy is going to have to do it by force. Daddy doesn't want to do it by force." Avery said softly. "If daddy just does it the exact same way mommy did it then he shouldn't have a problem."

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

Nicholas knew that he would have to do it by force. He had hoped to avoid that but now he knew he couldn't. Not anymore at least. Starting the process of how he knew she would of done it for him while he had been with her sisters. While Nick was still fully awake. It was a slow go but she was becoming tired and he hadn't wasted energy on anything. building up a sort of protective wall so that she wouldn't be able to so easily knock him out of her this time.



"I'm sure he will do it like she did, he's smart. He'll figure out a way," He assured her. Starting to lead them back into the room so that Will could take her and his nephew to get the ice cream he had promised earlier .

[onceuponatimeareview]

Avalon sense what he was doing. "I don't want to be fully awakened." she snapped. Attempting to throw him out of her mind. If she let more darkness in it could end poorly. "You would think by now Nicholas you would no my only weakness is you, but instead of just kissing me and forcing me to awaken like that you decided the hard way." Avalon glared at him realizing she let it slip out of her mouth.

Avery looked at her feet unsure about it. "He's holding it out. He shouldn't be holding it out. If the darkness comes mommy will be a goner."

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

Nicholas knew what her weakness was. It was him. Just as it always had been and he knew most likely would always be. But she hadn't given him room enough to do that, and after all her defenses... he had thought that the only way to go about this now, was to do it by force. "But it's the only way, we've been over this. You know it, I know it... and I'm sure a few others do as well." He told her not bothering to remark on the later. Starting to walk just a bit closer to her now. Seeing as she had backed up some.



James paused, bending down slightly and picking her up. "Now, lets not think like that mm? Your father is very brave, always has been, and while he might be holding it out right now I'm sure he'll get through some how an be able to. I know, but even if by some chance that it does end up coming for her before she is he's always been able to bring her back before. With things like this, no matter how strange it may sound all you need is a little faith and hope for things to work out."

[onceuponatimeareview]

"I don't even know why I have to be awaken. So no I don't know if it is the only way." Avalon looked up at him threw him against the wall. She walked up to him on the wall. "The difference between you and I is I do it right away. I make sure there is no room for the enemy to attack, but you drag it out. I could drain you of all your magic right now." Avalon hissed against his face. Her heart was beating fast at how close she was to him.

Avery rolled her eyes. No one ever seemed to listen to her. She was well aware she was child, but still. "Ellie says your fool for believing that."

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

Nicholas hit the wall with enough force to knock a breath or two out of him. Not cocky enough however to roll his eyes. "And then what would you do? Kill me? Surely not." He asked her. He knew that she wouldn't go as far as to kill him. She might cause him pain but she wouldn't out right kill him. For by doing so she would also be killing a part of herself along with him. She wouldn't risk that. Seeing as they were the best parts of each other connected by years and mealiness of life times.



James could tell that both her and Ellie didn't believe it and thought that he was treating her as young and inexperienced. "Maybe so. Although, have your parents ever told you the story of one of the darkest times in their past? The tale might be dark but it also shows that faith and trust and hope go a lot further then people give it credit for these days..."

[onceuponatimeareview]

"Yes, you are doubting that I would kill you. That's a foolish to think on your part." Avalon drained enough energy to give her fair fight. But as she did the wall he had up brought her to her knees. Her body start to shake. Tears fell down her face knowing she lost. "If you must at least kiss do it through your kiss. I want to remember your kiss because it will be the last time." Avalon was quite serious about never forgiving him. He didn't understand.

Avery looked at James confused on what he was talking about "Their past?" Sometimes Avery felt like a different wiser person, but other times she felt like child. "Yeah mommy was a vampire and daddy was a human."

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

Nicholas hoped down from where he had been on the wall. Walking over to her and cupping her cheeks ever so softly. Looking into her eyes wanting her to know that he was sorry for what he had to do. "I truly am sorry, for having to do this to you. I want you to remember that if nothing else, and that I love you, I always will." He told her leaning his forehead against hers. Saying one more time. "I love you.." Then gently started to kiss her.




So young, but yet so wise beyond her years. She was a true gift. Sitting down on one of the benches in the hall with her on his lap. Shaking his head some at that. "I'll take that as a no, although in all respect I guess they would of forgotten about it as well. Yes. In this life time she was a vampire and he was a human and she saved him because he was defending her. But that wasn't what I was talking about. I know your young, and so some things don't always make sense to you even though you are wise beyond your years. I was talking about their past lives. You see, this isn't the first time, that they have met and fallen in love." he told her pausing to make sure she understood where he was going with this. And to make sure if she had any questions he could answer them before he told the story.

[onceuponatimeareview]

Tears rolled down her face as she felt Nicholas start to kiss her. Avalon could feel everything start to buzz in her. It felt as if everything on her body was alive. Out of instinct she leaned into the kiss. Her mind wanted to pull away, but her body wanted to enjoy the kiss. Before the pain started to forge its way in. Tears ran down her face, not she wanted to pull away, but she physically couldn't. Avalon felt her body to start shut down.

Avery stared at the sky. "Something is wrong with mommy. What's wrong with mommy?" Avery asked.
