Laska, the woman of mystery that just helped herself into the realm of No'Koa... she had visited Farfello which had been most of her intentions... but now she was walking down to where Jessica's bodies were being kept. She walked into the crypt of places and stood infront of the two bodies... sighing. "Poor childe, you were far to young to be killed already. I suppose these people are of the fighting nature... we have only come so far as being able to defend ourselves... and had that noisy little Starkling kept himself at home we would have no invaders at all. Monica... always the trusting one."She sat down, looking at the dark haired girl, smiling a bit to herself. Brushing her long slender fingers through the nonmoving hair. "I'm surprised that you let this part of you out... and after so long. My half came to me when I was much younger... Mmm... maybe not much younger than you now that I think about it." Her eyes glanced over to the white haired girl, the one that could have easily been her daughter. She touched the girl's hand, touching the fabric of her robe and then left her be. "Lily was a fool to let you just get away like that... poor Bellaleen. She was the only one that knew exactly what you were going to be. You don't even know do you... " She chuckled to herself, she waved her hand and cast a spell, forming the two lifeless halves back into their normal form.. only Jessica's hair was her mixed black and white now, other than her favored white. "Dedicating your life as mother, wife, and preistess.. I am impressed with your loyalties to Deese, this woman who seems much like you... well.. I suppose she is. Or perhaps you are much like her." Laska laughed, sitting down again beside this girl, a girl who couldn't hear her... but after so many centuries of watching... she had finally taken it upon herself to make the visit. "You are my hire... what ever that means... " She laughed at herself again, she seemed to be full of giggles this evening, for what ever reason. " Not that I plan on getting much older or leaving... but you have a job set infront of you... that might kill many .. I hope that nothing ever seperates you from Farfello... completely... that poor man doesn't need to die. Not the way I have seen him with you... and your children. He is like a vicious loving protector. Yes yes... I know as well as you that he didn't get you killed. But you will have to be the one that tells him." She stood up slowly, stretching her old limbs back out to their proper positions. Looking down at the girl's body one more time before finally turning around. "Time to make an effort and meet the rest of my family... goddess help me, there are a lot of them now... " She laughed, heading back out the door...
Jessica stayed by Farfello most of the evening, she checked in on Demona, watching her daughter sleep for some time... and then on her mother, and Aidan who had taken most of the actions today in silence.. which was normal for him. And then on Ezekiel... her poor birth childe, but at least he had Savae, her dear friend... Farfello seemed to have no one.. other than the children, and they couldn't hold up his doubt and hurt. She had been able to talk to him for about 10 minutes with the use of the stone.. maybe again tomorrow it would work. She prayed that as long as he could hear her voice, see her for a moment that he wouldn't fade out. She couldn't even imagine losing him,... but she had already lost some of him. She was quiet for the rest of the evening. Sitting beside the bed as he slept, when Kisha started to whimper and cry she got up, almost forgeting that she was herself dead... a soul... a spirit... something not tangible. When she leaned over the crib and looked in she smiled, a.. an.. and Kisha smiled back. Jessica sat down beside her little daughter, watching her eyes follow Jessica's unseen form. She smiled back a little nervous about this whole situation... "Well... look who is like daddy... " She whispered, and then softly started to hum a familiar lulliby to her daughter which slowly put her back to sleep... Jessica smiled warmly to herself."..I like you forever.. I love you for always.. as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be." Crawling up on the bed beside her sleeping husband... "I love you... sweet husband... I'm here for you, for your hard times... even though you can't see me all the time. My heart and soul are still with you.. " She didn't go to sleep, but she was there... watching over her family as if something else might happen... and she couldn't bare to have anyone she loved, join her on this side as well.
Cecily, a girl who had always been much her mother's childe.. and not so much her father's... was sitting on the couch with her mother... who was almost completely asleep again. It had been a terribly long day, filled with mostly tears and cries.. She hadn't seen Corin since he had run out of the suite.. but she knew he was with Nicki and Fay, who loved her terribly. She moved her body a little... letting her mother's body rest down against the cushions on the couch... covering her up with a cover so that she might get at least 10 minutes of rest before waking herself up again. Cecily moved over to where Cassandra was, who was laying quietly.. she picked her up and moved into the kitchen... making her a bottle. She took the tired baby back to her room, after leaving her mother a note in the crib just incase she got scared that she was gone again. She laid down on the bed, cuddling Cassandra close, letting her eat until she literally passed out right beside her. Cecily had been so excited about being a big sister... and then she had lost the chance. She wasn't going to lose her again. She felt her own eyes start to get a little heavy, her poor heart couldn't take much more crying this evening... and with her empathic abilities.. it had been much more than her own crying. She looked around her room slowly.. "cms.. Io... are you near?" She called weakly to the girl... needing her near, she could never seem to sleep well enough if she was alone in the room. She leaned up beside her sleeping sister and looked towards the door, waiting for her.. ah.. Io.. yeah.. and when she finally came she snuggled up beside her... little sleeping Cassandra in the middle. If anyone was going to steal her now... they would have to come through her. She felt her eyes slowly slide closed... her arms around Io, she nuzzled her cheek... just before she fell asleep she whispered. "I love you... "... daddy..
Emmanuel was with his son and daughter, he talked with them about everything that they wanted to know.. about Monica, and Emma... and heaven and hell.. and everything that they could even imagine wanting to know about. But when they finally took a moment to rest he was with Hyacinth. God he ached over the fact that he couldn't touch her... couldn't hold her. Jessica had told her that she needed to be there for him.. and he was gone. But he knew that she would wait, she would wait for him like he had waited for her. He watched as Cecily walked away and then he sat down on the floor, beside her... remembering all the times she must have been beside him when he had slept. And he would do the same for her... "I remember.. deep in my dreams when you were away, that I could see you... I could almost hear your voice. I wonder.. If I could get you to see me... my love. " He leaned his head down against the couch near her... unable to touch her, but he was as close as he could be,.. and that would have to be good enough, for now.
So somewhere deep down in everyone's mind.. was the nipping question of where in the world had Monica, Emma, Lily, and Starnight gotten too. Oh and they weren't dead, and no they hadn't been captured by Katherine and forced into statue like bodies for the next decade or so before they were finally able to break free. They were somewhere special... somewhere that they hadn't been to in many many centuries. Emma was pissed, pacing back and forth in the large livingroom. "What the FUCK does she think she is doing, she wasn't even asked to be there.. she needs to get her ass back here now!" She huffed, looking over to Monica who was sitting happily on a couch, Lily was beside her. "Well.. we all know who died.. " Lily snapped back, looking at Emma, who was unnoticably being followed almost like a shadow by her twin Starnight... eww.. if she noticed too soon she would break the poor woman in half. "So the hell what! So Jessica died.. Emmanuel died too.. don't see any fucking goddesses jumping to go help him." Monica looked up slowly, narrowing her eyes at Emma. "You know.. it isn't very nice to talk about your mother like that... Emma growled deep in her throat, she was on the verge of snapping. "She's your mother too you know.. " She snarled back in reply. "I KNOW!!" Monica clapped her hands together and giggled, pausing as Emma lunged in attack at Starnight who had gotten just a little to close and had been spotted. Emma pushed her away, Starnight laughed and fell down on the couch beside Monica... who both started to giggle. Emma looked at them both and shook her head, storming out of the room, standing outside on a porch and looking out over the fields.. She sighed, rolling her eyes when Lily came out. They both stood in silence for a moment. "You can pretend very well that you weren't excited to see her... it had been almost 2,000,000 years since your creation." Lily raised a brow, she had been here for some time now, this was somewhere she enjoyed going.. it was a home that she was always welcome in, even though she hadn't been created by Laska, she had once had her own mother. Emma shook her head... sighing. "It's just hard to imagine that I was ever thought of as a child. I wasn't one. And neither where those two ass holes in the other room.." She almost turned and went inside when she heard them burst into giggles, but Lily stopped her. "Well.. it would be hard for anyone to even fathom that you all might even come from the same corners of the universe if that makes you feel any better." She said, slowly walking back inside with the others. Emma knew well that she as well as all of them, minus Lily had been created for a purpose... Starnight to save the Viknians... and she to save the humans... but then she had of course fallen for Christian who had turned her life into a living hell... literally and so Monica was created. She leaned over the railing watching out into the distance with her hard green eyes... sighing deeply. ".. Glaciera.. I pray you are alright... and my poor Coa.. I'll be home soon, make sure that Juri doesn't hurt herself." She sighed again and walked inside, only to find Starnight doing her best impersonation of Emma... Emma stood with her hands on her hips.. waiting for the laughter to be over, which was cut instantly short by Monica who saw her standing there. Starnight turned around, grinning weakly and then took off running, Emma went after her.. and Monica was somewhere ahead of them all.. Lily just shook her head, laughing a little to herself when she heard Monica cry out. "Ohh... don't do that!! I'm telling MOM!!" She waited in the livingroom.. it was a rare occasion where they could all four be in a place at once, without a war, or responcibilities.. and obviously it wasn't going to last long. She rubbed her forhead, shaking it slightly as she muttered to herself. "I pray you visit fast Laska... for my sanities sake... "
(How about that!? *smirks and dances around* Didn't see that coming did you? So Laska is prettttty much related to every damn person out there... save Bellaleen, Morgan, Jessica, and so on... but Jessie is special to her.. more on that later. Love you!! Bye.)
