McKensie and Lara
Mark nodded, sighing. "Kidnapped will be easier on them. Either way they'll look for me for a couple months at least." he said, and shrugged. Dem shook his head, walking over to give Damon a hug. "No. I remember." he agreed, smiling.
Lexi raised an eyebrow. "Ok seriously. What are these games?" She asked.
"What's wrong with you?" Dem countered.
Lexi sighed. "I got bitten by a vamp. And now you've got a vamp sibling on the way." She said.
Dem's eyebrows raised. "Sick!" He said.
James sighed and hugged him knowing it was hard for him "sorry mate...I should have given this much more thought..."Damon chuckled "we are feeding the baby directly, so it doesn't feed on mom." He gestured to the tube going to the IV.
He looked at Lexi "the games are an event that happens every decade, it's like the Olympics for demons. When you win the higher your rank is, every demon is required to do at least one. It's all rather idiotic..."
Mark shook his head, hugging him back briefly. "It's fine. It's done now." he said, biting his lip hard as he tried to keep himself from becoming sentimental. Dem's eyes wandered down the length of the tube to where it disappeared under the blanket and his eyebrow raised. "Interesting method." He commented.
Lexi squirmed. "It was our only option." She said. Then she looked to Damon. "But isn't that dangerous?" She asked. "I mean... olympics. People died."
Dem grinned. "That's what makes it fun!"
James smirked "you don't always have to be tough Mark it's ok to be a little sad."Damon shook his head "you don't always have to be curious boy." He smiled and nodded "yeah, people die and get hurt and it's all in good fun...and don't believe anything you here about me and the games."
Mark nodded and sighed. "Thank you." He said, biting his lip and looking down. Dem chuckled. "I'm a curious boy."
Lexi looked at them both, somewhat stunned. "Good fun... right... well I guess I'll have to get used to that." Then she raised an eyebrow at him. "And exactly what would I be hearing about you?"
James headed back home with Mark "Dad! We are home!"Damon looked at the smug look Demetri had "oh now what did you here?"
Torch looked up and smiled at the boys. "Welcome back. Did you guys eat? Because there might be some leftovers from supper if you're hungry." he said, smiling. Dem laughed softly. "Just that you won every single game, but never took the role as leader. And man. Apparently you were a pretty mean opponent."
Lexi looked between the two.
James nodded "Anne fed us actual edible food." He teased "when's mom going to feel better?" He looked around "where's Loo?"Damon shook his head "kid where do you get these things?" He smiled at Lexi "I'm too lazy to compete."
Torch shot him a look. "Hey. I can make a pretty good batch of meatballs." He shot back. Then he sighed. "Mom's on the mend. and London? I don't know where she went. She said she was going to the park a couple hours back, I think."Dem looked at his father curiously. Why was he hiding this from Mom? Dem knew Damon had competed, so why was he lying. "Anne told me." He said simply.
Lexi raised an eyebrow, confused.
James looked worried "but dad...it's past curfew!" He said worriedly and grabbed his jacket "I'll go find her..."Damon sighed "I always win...but they want me to be leader and that's not what I want."
Torch shook his head. "I'm coming then." He said, following after him. "I'm not letting you alone in the dark."Lexi smiled softly. "Well. That's not surprising." She shook her head. "But why did you never rule?"
James nodded "come on Mark! She might be in trouble!" Damon shrugged "it's not me...it's not worth it I know who I am and I don't need to be Lukas or HIM to show who's the most powerful."
Mark nodded, racing after them both. "Are we going to check the park?" He asked, worried. What if London was hurt? he would hate that. Lexi nodded. "Makes sense I suppose." She thought for a moment. "But who's him?"
"The big guy. The boss." Dem piped up. "People rarely see him though. He keeps to himself."
Lexi nodded slowly. "Alright then." She shifted a bit, getting tired of sitting down.
James nodded "that where the vamps attacked..." He said worriedly at his dad.Damon frowned noticing her shift "what do you want to do?"
Torch nodded. "How did you know... oh never mind. We need to find London." he said, looking around. His eyes glowed as they did when he was trying to see in the dark. London was sitting in a tree in the park, hugging the branch and crying quietly to herself.
Lexi chewed her lip. "Get off my butt and go get some food. Real food. Like steak or something. Not blood." She said, shifting around again.
James heard her crying and used his little glowing eyes and found her "Loo? What's wrong?" He crawled onto the branch with her.Damon nodded "Dem go get unpacked." He urged him out and closed the door. "Cleats shorten this so you can move around."
London didn't know it was James, she was too shaken up to even think straight. She shrieked when she heard someone come close and her trembling grew worse. "Please don't hurt me!" She cried, sobbing. "Please. I didn't do anything!"Lexi nodded in agreement. "Yes please." She agreed, anxious to get up and move again. She didn't enjoy being bed bound.
James frowned and hugged her "it's James, London...what happened? Why were you out so late?"Damon moved the blanket and adjusted the tube and taped it to her leg "does it have enough slack? Is it tugging?"
London sobbed in releif, draping herself in his arms. She was still trembling quite hard. "I.... it... person... nightmare... cold..." she stammered, to stricken to put together what happened at the moment. She was paler than she should be.Lexi moved around a bit to experiment, and smiled brightly. "Perfect." She said, grinning. She sat up and moved very slowly to their closet, pulling out sweatpants she could wear. She quickly slipped them on. "Ill just have to stay away from doing any jumping jacks." She joked, smiling.
James looked up "Dad she's here!" He called over and gently carried her over his shoulder "Ard you hurt Loo?"Damon chuckled "I certaintly couldn't handle that, you are very bad ass my love."
London shook her head, clinging to him. She wasnt hurt. Not physically. Torch and Mark came over quickly and they both stopped short. "What's wrong?" Mark asked, worried.
Torch just motioned them all to hurry quickly home.
Lexi flushed. "Not nearly as much as you are... winning all those games." She smiled at him. Walking over to him sowly and carefully, she slipped her hand in his and started to walk back towards the door. "Lets go get some steak."
((Props last post. Night :) may not be on all of tomorrow. We'll see ))
((Alright goodnight!))James carefully carried her back home, he lay her on her bed and looked at Torch desperately wondering what to do! He rubbed her back softly trying to calm her.
Damon chuckled and led her carefully to the kitchen, he pulled the raw steaks out and cooked them perfectly with his hands "Dem! Do you want any steak?" He called up.
Torch sighed softly and walked over to London. "Hey. I need you to do something for me, ok?"London nodded slowly, her eyes still closed.
"Look at me," Torch urged, "and relax."
London obeyed, still trembling.
When her memories hit him, he winced, closing his eyes again to stop the flow. He lay his hand sympathetically on London's shoulder, and then stood, looking at James. "She'll just take some time to recover." He said softly. "It would seem that she encountered a wraith." He said softly. What troubled him, was that wraiths and vamps usually left well alone. So why the attacks?
Lexi grinned, watching him cook the steak. She was practically drooling, starving for real food.
Dem ran down the stairs shouting. "Yes!" As he went. He emerged beside Lexi and his eyes glued on the steaks.
James frowned following him out "what's a...wraith?" He asked worried, so many new dangers.Damon chuckled and cooked one more and played them "dinner is served!"
Torch sighed. "A half dead spirit. They feed on the fears of others." he explained. "They force you to relieve your worst memories, and face your worst fears, growing stronger on your terror as you do." he explained. Lexi grinned and took one of the steaks, immediately gnawing into it. "Mmmm." She approved, happy.
Dem took one of the other steaks and didn't bother cutting it up as he started eating.
James frowned "why would they target London?..." He pulled his legs up to his chest and sighed "I don't want anyone hurting her!"Damon chuckled "I have hyenas for a family! Do we even need silverware?"
Torch shook his head. "It was likely that one was just passing by, and wanted a snack." He said tiredly. "They can't drain someone like London though, because she has not experienced true sorrow yet." he explained. Lexi shook her head. "I don't. But Dem does."
"Mooom!" Demetri complained. "I'm a demon!"
"You're not a vamp, and therefore, you can still use your manners. Go get a fork and knife." Lexi said sternly.
"Yes Mom." Dem sighed and got up to go get them.
James and sighed grabbing his hair "dad, I want to avenge her! She's done nothing! She's the most angelic demon there is!"Damon chuckled and nodded "Demetri, don't mess with pregnant vamp mom!"
Torch looked at him sadly. "You can not kill a wraith, and they are hard to find." He told him. "The best way to help London right now is to help her get over her fears."Lexi smiled and Dem sighed as he got utensils and started to cut up the meat with them.
Lexi nodded. "That's better." She said, taking a bite out of her own steak.
"Yeah yeah." Dem said, huffing.
James sighed "her fears are me leaving her...and when we were kidnapped."Damon gave him a look that would qut that attitude right there.
"So what have you been training Demetri?"
Torch nodded. "So then maybe the best thing for her would be for you to stay with her, and make sure she knows that you aren't leaving her."Dem only stabbed his steak with the fork and started sawing the knife through it. "Fly relay, archery, knife throwing, an wrestling." he said simply.
James nodded and went to their room laying by her and watching her closely "Loo...I'm not going to leave you...ever!"Damon nodded and ate some of his steak "which do you think is your strongest?"
London lifted her head to look at him. She was still trembling, and her eyes were filled with fear. "James?" She asked. "But... but... I was in the park... and you came to see me... and you left.... and I saw us being kidnapped again, and you kept leaving. Leaving me alone." She whimpered. Dem thought about that for a moment. "Knife work. And flying." he said, nodding.
Lexi raised an eyebrow. "Sounds... good." She said, not sure what she felt about their little boy having knives. He was not yet a year old, and yet he could easily pass for a 13 year old.
James shook his head "it wasn't real...a wraith attacks you by your worse fears...that's what happened, I didn't leave I brought you here..." He assured softly moving her hair off of her face.Damon gave Lexi a reassuring smile "that's good, I'll have to show you my old set." He blinked hearing the tinkling of the bell "and that's your sister!" He went to the nursery and held her so she wouldn't fly around.
London bit her lip, nodding slowly. "I was so scared." She whispered, moving closer so she could curl up against him, comforted by the knowledge that he was actually there with her. Dem brightened. "I'd love that." He said, smiling. He grinned when he saw Taylor. "She's flying?" he asked, shocked.
Lexi nodded, smiling. "Yes, and causing quite the trouble around here."
James held her close and stroke her hair and down her back "guess what?..." He asked softly "I turned Mark...he's a demon like us!"Damon nodded in agreement and Taylor shimmied out of his arms and to Demetri "looks like she missed her big brother!"
London smiled softly. "Really?" She asked, her trembling slowing to almost nothing as he stroked and held her. Dem grinned and scooped her out of the air, spinning her around. "Hey baby girl." He said, kissing her forehead.
Lexi smiled lovingly at them.
James nodded grateful the trembling was stopping "he still likes you...I already threatened him." He promised and twirled a strand of hair "and we get to compete in the games! There is a health provider one!"Damon smiled watching them and cleaned up the kitchen, he blinked hearing a little voice in his head "did you say something?"
London's smile grew a little wider. "Really?" she asked, thinking of Mark. Then she thought for a moment. "What are you going to compete in?" She asked. Lexi looked up. "Um... no... I didn't." She said, confused.
Dem shook his head. "I didn't either." He said quickly, resuming tickling Taylor.
((Idk if you wanted it to be Taylor talking to him, or something else... :P ))
James shrugged "fire targets, demon history, knife throwing, and flying..."((I was thinking it was the baby!))
"Wow..." London breathed. "That's a lot of things." she said. "I'm sure you'll do great."((oh... ok. :) could you play the baby bc I am Dem and Taylor already? Is that ok?))
"Damon...?" Lexi asked softly, worried. "Is everything alright?" She asked.
James smiled "I'm hoping to keep Demetri from inflating his huge ego!" He teased and smiled "you'd be good at archery!"((Yeah of course! :) ))
Damon leaned close to her stomach and smiled "they are talking...or I should say she is talking."
London smiled. "He needs that." She agreed. Then she chewed her lip. "Do you really think so?" She asked hopefully.((sorry for the late reply. gr was down))
Lexi's eyebrows raised. "She...?" She asked. "The vamp?" she looked confused. ".... talking?"
James nodded eagerly and grinned "yeah! It's a very graceful sport and you'd look good with a bow!"Damon nodded and smiled "yeah...she was the little voice I heard..."
London smiled and closed her eyes. "I'll see how it goes at camp I guess." She said decisively. Her fears were long forgotten. Lexi smiled happily. "Really?" She breathed. "That is so cool! Did she actually say something?" She asked. "What was it? Or was it not understandable?"
James was glad, her color was back and she was happy! "Camp is going to be fun! You and Mark could have dates!"((Oh it's totally fine, I was eating dinner :) ))
Damon motioned Demetri over to see if he could hear her as well "just little babbling...she's happy and loves you."
London flushed. "We could..." She agreed, shifting shyly as she thought about that. "You sure he still likes me?" She asked. Her quick recovery from the wraiths had to do with her few fears. Someone with a longer life would have taken longer to heal. ((ok :) I'm heading to bed now. I'll be on in the morning. G'night :) ))
Dem scooted over, still holding Taylor and moved closer to Lexi's swollen stomach. "I can hear her..." He breathed.
Lexi smiled, her eyes watering. "That's so wonderful." She breathed. Suddenly everything she went through for the child was worth it.
James nodded "yeah, he even said now that he was a demon he could be with you again! And I was talking about you and he said nice things!"Damon smiled and kissed her stomach "telepath...very useful..." He said softly and rubbed her tummy. He smiled at Taylor "your sister is in there!"
London smiled, flushing bright red. "Awww. Hes so sweet." She said softly.Taylot squeaked and flew over, hugging Lexis stomach. She giggled happily.
Lexi smiled down at them all. "She has telepathy? Where did that come from?"
Damon chuckled but he would Lexi explain "what am I chop demon liver?" He teased and smiled "that's good, I don't have to remind you about the rules right?"
