Fantasy Descendants of the Curse

[Valjean24601]

Vivian lay awake, as she did near every night, the furs of elk and moose drawn tightly beneath her arm pits, the coarse underside rubbing against her bare skin. The small flicker of lamp light was all that illuminated the room and it haunted her as it reminded her much of the glow of the blood moon. The blood moon. She trembled, terror rose up in her belly like bile. The savegery of it. And Samuel... Samuel had lived somehow but, it hadn't been Samuel not really. He hadn't known it was her as he beat her wolf bloody and strung her up behind the wagon to drag, her pup, sweet Sabella, screaming for her from inside the caged wagon. They had taken her fur and cut it away, whipped her back and bruised and beat her. She was thankful every day that she was not raped, she had been the scum of the earth that day, too lowly to even be looked at lustfully.


The pack had heard the cries of her pup, her screams of desperation and they had come and they had ravaged the bastards that took Vivian and Sabella. They had no human instinct to control them. The moon had been high.


Vivian bit her lip and nuzzled her face into her straw stuffed pillow.


It smelled of Ash and only reminded her of how absent he was.

Malcolm lead them all inside, ushering them towards the medicinal rooms where Ben would surely be healed. He hadn't seen his son in so long.... Lord he thought the boy had gone back America, how had he remained hidden for so long and how was he so ill? Who was this girl? His daughter? How could he have kept a grandchild from him?


"Hurry now! We haven't time to waste he looks dreadful as it is! Formal introductions can wait!"

 

[Axeykins]

That was more than enough invitation inside for him. Marius gave Fae a quick kiss on the cheek before shoving his way into the house. Past Elizabeth and Jamison as fast as he could go. Regardless of whether they allowed dogs in or not. He needed to be beside Benjiman, comfort him and make sure they were treating him well.

"What's going on grandpa?" Elisabeth asked standing up and hurrying over to see what was the matter. "Who is that?" She asked seeing an unconscious man being taken upstairs followed by a large dog. Frowning she turned back to Jamison as she did so a familiar head of hair caught her eye. "Fea!" She sad in happy surprise and ran over to her friend arms out stretched for a hug then she saw it, and froze feet away from her. Fea had the same eyes as Jamison, but her her eyes were like that before. So what changed them. She frowned "You're different..." Was all she could say on the matter.

Ash gave himself a quick wash to clean off the scent of what He and Artemis had done before he went looking around for Valac and Sabella but found neither of them. Odd. He thought to himself as he went I search of his wife. Eventually he found her laying in their bed. "Vivian?" He asked walking up to the bed to see if she was awake.

 

[Valjean24601]

Malcolm didn't answer Elizabeth, his eyes were glued to his son. He could feel the man's power ebbing from him. His hands trembled, he had been close to losing son's before, he had lost a daughter.


Felicity.


He frowned and balled his hands tightly.


Fae frowned and looked away from Elizabeth, her eyes down turned.


"I'm not, really... It's nothing. But I have to talk to your grandpa and grandma alone. After they help Ben that is."

 

[EvelienLocalArtist]

(I just realized Marius is in the same place as his two childern and he doesn't even know it! >w< course Gaston is there too. This should be interesting. Muwahaha!)


"No no you need to see Jamison first!" She said quickly taking her friends hand pulling her away from her grandparents and torwards Jamison speaking quickly as she drug her friend with. "Whose Ben? Does food make your belly hurt? How did this happen to you? Are your teeth pointy? Can you shapeshift? Can you hear really well? What about smell? Oh! Oh!" She suddenly started whispering exicitedly. "What about blood? Do you eat bloody things? Jamison does, he does all that stuff. Do you?!" A seemingly out of place look of exicitmemt was on her face, completely ignoring the fact that this Ben person could be dying up stairs.

"Let's get him out of these tags." Belladonna said quickly laying him next to the healing pools and started removing Benjiman's sweat soaked clothes then with the help her apprentices she lowered him into the healing pools. The water flowed into Ben's nose and mouth but doesn't drown him. In fact it was impossible to drown in pure healing water. Unenchant it and yes you could definitely drown. "Malcom, dear grab me the amethyst crystals please." She said and then noticed how he was shaking. "He will be fine, dear. He's only got a flu." She said even though she knew it was a lie. But right now she was trying to ignore that it was her son in the pool. He wasn't supposed to be here. They banished him for his sins years ago, they said it was because he couldn't keep his wife in line. But Malcolm and Belldonna knew what Ben really was. It was the highest of sins to go against what Mother Nature intended and have a man love another man. So they banished Ben to America so he couldn't come back and ruin their name anymore.

 

[Valjean24601]

Vivian's heart leapt in fear as his voice surprised her from her unfathomable nightmares and visions.


"Ash?"


She lifted her head from her pillow, gripping the bulky thing to her chest. Frustration felt like it was clogging her throat, she was unable to say anything else at that moment. The things he had said to their daughter...


"Where have you been? Everyone's gone to bed."

 

[Axeykins]

(He'll notice them soon enough. Hehehe, right now he's got other concerns on his mind. And trying to keep more focus on the kids like planned before P


"Ellie!!!" Jamison's face flushed bright red as she blabbed on about his...'condition' again. And this time to her friend! Something was drawing him to her though, something that felt very similar. "...i don't think you should go to our grandma and grandpa. I don't know how they would react if you're like me. Just think of how mom hides it from dad...do you think she'd ever tell them?"

[QUOTE="The Departure](Sorry I wasn't here!~ ;w
"Smaller towns are often the better ones, I've figured out." The man tells her. "And how I got here is simple. Boat. Don't ask me why, I simply came here by boat. Don't question my madness." Zoe shrugs, as if she didn't have any worries. "Oh, really? I didn't know that." she glances up at her 'companion'. "You don't seem mad," she says. "And going by boat would be easier if you knew how."

[/QUOTE]
"Well I didn't really know how and regret it. I should have taken a cab or something to get here, it would have been less effort on my part." Connor said, snorting at his decision making. "How far away is this town? We have to be getting closer now, yeah?"

 

[Soul Stealer]

Zoe went silenced momentarily. "Oh," she says. "Well, almost there," she says.

 

[Valjean24601]

"No! It's important that I do! They are Ben's parents and they'll know what's happened to me. I should be dead but I'm not, I'm stronger and stranger than ever Eliza and I don't know what to do with myself... I'm thirsty, always thirsty... I can hear your heartbeat and and feel every hair on your arm like a barb. Something strange and scary has happened to me and I must find out what it is. Your grandparents are the only ones who know. I know it."


Fae desperately tried to reassure her two friends, squeezing Jamison's arm and Eliza's hand.


"It'll be alright. We can trust them."

 

[Axeykins]

"NO! We can't! They don't like Uncle Ben for being different, so they would really hate anybody like us. Trust me, I...I know all too well." He pulled his arm away from her grip. "Anyway, what kind of thirsty are you? What are you craving? I know where our grandparents keep their raw meat. Wanna see if that helps?"


Marius was at the doors of the pools they had taken Ben to. Locked out and forced to wait anxiously for him to come out again. He paused when a familiar scent hit his nostrils. "Elizabeth? Jamison?" His ears perked up in their direction. That had to be then, but why were they here?? He could go check, no...no. If they were both here that meant he had to be here too and Mary. For the sake of Fae and Benjiman he couldn't draw suspicious attention to any of them.

 

[EvelienLocalArtist]

(Fredric/Apollo, Donahue/Thea are waiting for you @Valjean24601 )

 

[Valjean24601]

Thea growled and didn't say another word to Valac. She was disgusted with how weak and vulnerable he was. He had been so sensitive and kind before and now he was nothing but a snivelling pup.


She turned to Donahue and touched his arms gently,"please, please forgive me. I was stupid. Please Don."

 

[Valjean24601]

Apollo snarled at Fredric and bore his teeth, yellowed by blood stains. His eyes narrowed and then turned back in the direction he was going, looking back and barking boldly as if daring Fredric to turn his back to him and leave.


The witchling would be coming with him. Wether he liked it or not.

 

[EvelienLocalArtist]

Elizabeth frowned at her friend. "But what if they think you could be dangerous? What if they send you away?" Elizabeth said worriedly. "If you tell them about you they'll know for sure that Jamison is the same." She said looking back at Jamison. "And if they send you away, then they'll probably send Jamison and me away too." Elizabeth said trying to get her friend to understand the danger of telling Belladonna and Malcolm. They were good honest people but when it came to protecting the coven they would do anything. Even banish their own son.

 

[EvelienLocalArtist]

Donahue glared at Valac the entire time he limped away only to have Thea pull him back to their situation. "We'll talk about this when we get back to the den." He muttered to Thea then scanned their surroundings. It was late, even for werewolves, they should be getting some rest by now. As he looked around he noticed Sabella staring at him. It was an odd sort of look and he couldn't tell what kind of emotion it held, so he assumed it was annoyance. "Sorry to have dragged you into this Sabella." He said apologetically as he took hold of Thea's hand. "Good-night." He finished giving her a small nod of respect then turned to head back to the pack.

 

[Axeykins]

(also waitin on Fae and Gaston? Maybe him)

 

[Valjean24601]

(( AH IM SORRY GUYS THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS HAPPENING AT ONE TIME IM HAVING TROUBLE KEEPING EVERYTHING STRAIGHT

 

[Valjean24601]

Fae frowned and peered down the hall where Ben, Marius and the others had dissapeared to. She was fearful now, of what could happen. To her, to Jamison and Elizabeth. How is it that their fates had become so quickly intertwined?


"What will we do? If we can't speak to your grandma and grandpa about it, or your parents, how will we know what's happened to us?"

 

[Axeykins]

(It's alright. Life happens. :3 )


"You're fine though Ellie, they wouldn't send you away because there's nothing wrong with you." Jamison shrugged as he looked between the two girls. "We could probably tell mom. She raised me pretty well so far so maybe she knows more? And would know how to help you and tell whoever is taking care of you how to as well. Right? I think we have to get her away from dad and Jacques first."

 

[Valjean24601]

"Okay. We'll ask your mother but I have to see if Ben is alright first. He's been so sick and Mar- I mean I have been so so worried about him. He's never been like this."


Fae frowned, deeply this time and she turned to go after Ben and Marius. She hadn't been sure why Marius hadn't wanted to be kept hidden from all the witches so badly but she wouldn't spoil all this now when she and Ben both would get some help.

 

[Valjean24601]

Thea gripped Donahue's hand in hers tightly and allowed him to lead her quietly back to the pack. She had never been so sorry in all her life. Valac was a coward and a fool and she had meant what she said to him. She always meant what she said. And she had meant that she liked him and now she meant it when she said he had broken her heart. Don would always be the right option. He wasn't false or phoney he was more man than wolf and that's what she needed in a mate.


Sabella glared down at her brother. Upset that he would be such a fool as to toy with her best friend's heart, and one of the strongest wolves in the pack.


"You are an idiot."


She growled as she hauled him to his feet and slung his arm over her shoulder, helping him walk.
