New blood ( amiko & she_wolf)

[She~Wolf]

Xander raised a brow. ‘He’s a demon Lord. Like me...well except I’m on a different level. He has control over what he is without having a soul shoved into him. He’s also not 100% right now. He retreated back to his realm to regenerate... Andies condition must have forced him back.’ He thought, then chuckled softly. ‘Not ok with a weakened Demon Lord but totally ok with having an Aspect of Fear as a lover.’ He teased playfully. ‘Sounds like your power is an over reacting she-wolf protecting her family.’

“I can’t. You’re not safe here as Karma just showed. I’ll keep you safe.” She said softly. She let out a heavy sigh and pulled Andie close to her, placing her palm on her head as she cast a spell with a dull light, sending Andie into temporary sleep. “I’m sorry about this... you’re hurting yourself more.”

Dallen held her close, taken aback for the first second though. He smiled against her lips and chuckled. “Hmmm... you really know how to calm the beast.” He teased, a rare thing for him to do with anyone. “Though that rabid creature is rather annoying. Roza’s.” He called softly. The fearling hound raced out of the forest, boating her master. She slid to a stop and snarled lowly at Todd, her tail rattling like a snakes.
“So... Dinner out or shall I feed you at your home?” He asked

Bryn sighed and rubbed his jaw. “She’s not fully human, something is awakening in her. That’s why I was really suffering around her, and her me. She doesn’t know.”

[Amiko]

Alanna stayed quiet before her voice whispered, almost sadly, into xanders mind 'you make it seem like that's such a bad thing..... would you rather I not love you and let my other half rule who I am and destroy everything that is dark at all?'. She kept her eyes shut but shuddered slightly as sorrow began to set into her body and mind.


Andrea had tried to pull away and started to scream when her eyes rolled back in her head and her body slumped forward against Ari.

Ryder's form appeared nearby but it was transparent and wavered a bit 'im sorry little dove...... But if karma hurt either of you....things wouldn't have ended well....'. His black eyes saddened slightly as he tilted his head looking at his half human daughter, and his mate through the eyes of the projection he'd created.

Todd seemed to snarl louder before an odd green glow came from his eyes that matched prides eyes. "You really think your pet could ever work on me twice? You really must be stupid,"
Vera was about to say something when she heard pride's voice mixed with Todd's. Her eyes slid towards her old co-worker and for once, she felt pity for the poor man. With a soft sigh she pulled away from dallen and caught the smirk growing on Todd's face. "He's all yours. How anyone could be stupid enough to fall prey to THAT sibling of yours like this is beyond me" she lightly touched his hand before she start walking away.
Todd snarled and after kicking roza's body hard enough to send her flying towards Vera he took off towards her snarling darkly.

Zahir looked bored as he looked at Bryn "no sheet Sherlock. That's why you get her something to channel what she is and contain it so she's safe and so are you. You think I didn't pick up a few tricks over the years?"

[She~Wolf]

“Considering her Father is Ryder, and he doesn’t want her knowing makes it really damned hard.” He growled, then paused realizing what he said. “Ah Hell... do not repeat that to anyone.”

Dallen smirked and sighed in relief. “Good, I was worried I’d have to go against your will.” He said softly before his true form ripped out. He caught his hound, who formed into a snake as soon as her master held her. Dallen walked up to Todd, his spines rattling along with his rattle tail, his talons clicking against the ground. “I try so very hard to give you mortals my upmost patience. I put up with so much, go without feeding for days, weeks sometimes if I’m feeling generous. But you, you really broke my good graces. Harmed my human, my pet, and now you reak of my sibling... time to take one meal away from them.” He said lowly as he snatched the man up by his throat. He gave a fanged smirk “Time to leave the side of Pride, and know Fear.”

“I can handle a temperamental brat. I am exsausted so I happily would have not held back.” She said with a sigh. She lifted Andie with a spell and looked at him softly. “It’s time you told her, trained her to control what she is before she breaks completely. She’s around too many demons to not have influence on her. Especially when she’s in love with Bryn. She needs her father, not friends, not stress, not sorrow. She needs her protector, her guardian Ryder.” Aria eyes were soft and kind, but they held a fermness. “She’ll Be furious once her memories come back... but it’s better to have that than watch her suffer anymore.”

Xander frowned, sitting up to look at her. ‘I did not mean it as a bad thing. I was just pointing out that maybe you’re power gets set off with people you don’t know, confusing them as a threat. It happened to Ari when more demons started showing up, he’ll she nearly blew her mate back to the void when they first met without me there to introduce them.’ He tipped her chin up and kissed her head. ‘I nearly died losing you once, I won’t lose you again. You are my heart and soul Alanna. I love you for who you are no matter what. All I was saying is that I’d like to introduce you to your family members without you so stressed about if you might accidentally blow them away. You’re scared of your powers, and I just want you to be comfortable with them and trust in yourself.’ He said softly. He held her close in his lap, wings wrapped snuggly around her. He held her in his loving embraced until he shivered a bit. ‘Oh... someone really pissed him off.’ He thought with a mutter, shivering again. It had been a long time since Dallens power sent shockwaves through those connected to him.

[Amiko]

Zahir shrugged and blew his bangs put of his eyes "I'm not stupid Bryn. Come on I've been working here for a while, I catch a lot people don't know about. That and seeing him with her kinda made it obviously recently". With a low groan feeling his muscles ache as he stood up straight again he patted his friends shoulder "not all Demi's can control what they are and live. Some, when their blood is activated, will kill themselves and many around them simply because it's how things work. And if she's anything like her old man, that's probably the side of the spectrum you're looking at here with her demonic blood" he then turned away and walked off to fill a few more orders but called back, sounding bored, "so go get your guard a special gift as a thank you for all the crap she's done. Because let's face it, this place is going to hell without her". Knowing almost no one knew about about him and Andrea, zahir wasn't about to be the one to tell a bar full of drunks and gossips the news.


Vera shuddered slightly hearing Todd laughing demonically but she just kept walking until she wound up bumping into pride it's self who smirked darkly and whispered "my my. Such a pretty little toy big brother has. It'd be a shame if someone....broke it". With a smile and a flick of his wrist Vera was thrown backwards and crashed into a pile of crates and garbage bags in a nearby alley. She groaned softly and slowly tried wiggling free of a bag she'd hit that split open and tried ignoring everything she'd been touching "ya know....for being pride, you sure are more of an arse than I'd have given you credit for"
Prides smile fell a bit and he growled annoyed as he shot over to Vera and lifted her by her throat before his eyes glowed a bright lime green. Vera rolled her eyes slowly despite her pain and brought up her leg hitting his elbow making him drop her back into the trash. "oh great, more trash! You couldn't just drop me on the bloody ground?!"

Pride stood there a bit dumbfounded that the girl didn't seem scares at all, and that his curse he always placed on the minds of humans wasn't working on her.
Vera worked her way out of the trash the whole time pride stood there looking confused then glared at him with dark brown eyes that held hatred and annoyance. "Next time you wanna try that stupid game, don't. Although, you keep sending your teachers after me pretty soon your home will be empty and you'll just poof away". Vera had had more than enough of the sins to last her a week or longer, and no longer felt like holding her tongue.

Todd wound up screaming and thrashing around, especially when pride was more focused on Vera rather than his brother.
(Though technically pride is an IT since it can change genders as it pleases)


Ryder shook his head a bit causing the projection to become staticy. "Karma is just as dangerous to hurt Andrea. It's part of being what we are. ". He sighed softly and stared at Ari looking worn down "Ari. For her to awaken the way she'd need to it will end the town you call home and much more. High reapers blood. Can't mix with a humans and remain stable forever. Hence Atlantis". He'd been young still back then, but he'd seen what happened, a demireaper had finally awakened and when no one could stop the boys power he destroyed the entire city dragging it and himself under. "I've tried. Keeping this from her for everyones safety. But if she breaks again.... she'll be brought here and destroyed. And with her karma and I will be in the same boat....". His eyes then landed on Andreas burned neck and he froze seeing the ring he'd placed there to absorb some of the energy from her was gone.

Alanna sighed heavily and slowly looked at Xander with tears forming in her eyes. She didn't 'say' anything else. She just layed there feeling like things wouldn't get better for a while still and feeling her sorrow growing into a depression. (*Pats Alanna's head* poor Lanna)


Sins eyes cracked open but he felt weak and sick now.
Sitting not far from him was Liz looking bored and a bit annoyed. "finally the dead awake. Ya know, I was starting to think you were going to be a lost cause scruffy"


Darla stood at her front door with a suitcase and a backpack. Her eyes seemed a bit duller as she locked the door and walked to the mailbox tossing the keys in it.

[She~Wolf]

“It will happen sooner than later if she’s not getting help with understanding what she is. There must be something we can do.” She said with a growl, thinking hard with worry quite obvious. “I can talk to Azriel. If Reapers can’t help than maybe Death can.” She lifted her hand and sent Andie ahead, back to her home. “I’m not going to let her suffer, nor will I be willing to let her die because of what she is.”

Xander tipped her chin up and gave her a soft kiss. ‘Don’t think like that. It’s already getting better here. I have you again after all. It was miserable without you, for me and our friends. Now that you’re back, we all have back that piece we were missing, they got their friend and a sister back, and I got back the woman I wanted to be my wife.”

A body crashed straight into Pride as Dallen stood at a distance with a deep snarl. “You can have your former toy back... dour he’s much of anything but a sniveling coward now.” He said before storming up and laying a punch across Prides face. “Don’t ever touch her again.” He said lowly. “Leave this city and don’t ever return, or I will put you back in the shadows where you crawled out from.” He said lowly, his spikes, flexing straight out. He turned to Vera and lifted her up. “That will be better in a moment.”

[Amiko]

(Bryn)

Vera lightly touched dallens cheek making pride stare in complete dumfounded shock that the human was so unafraid of his brother. Snapping out of his stupor pride snarled loudly and threw Todd's body against a nearby building. When it hits it made a sickening thud making Vera jerk her head back and look somewhat sick at the crumpled heap that was once her old co-worker. Although she didn't fear really much of anything, seeing Todd die the way he did, it made a chill shoot through her body and made her pale a bit.


Alanna shuddered and slowly ran a hand through Xanders hair as her eyes teared up a bit. 'why me Xander? I'm not that special. I shouldn't be to them or you. I'm just....me'


Ryder's form chuckled softly as he whispered 'stop pushing so much for everyone else my little dove'. With a weak smile his form vanished leaving no trace of him at all.

[She~Wolf]

“I don’t push for everyone Ryder. I push for my family.” She said firmly, she unfolded her wings and took off back home. She had a lot to do, and making sure Andie was stable would be a great challenge.

“Because we love you for who you are. You were a light in our lives before you got your powers even. You are kind to all, protective, loyal, loving and companionate. You’re selfless, and always put others before your needs, even when you were hurting. That’s why we love you, protected you.. dealt with so much guilt that we couldn’t save you. I’m so sorry we failed you, I’m so sorry this is so much to take in as well... but you mean so much to us, to me. Don’t say you’re not special. You are so special, they value you, and I love you for who you are. I don’t care if you get sparky with me, or someone I know that can take it, all I care about is how you feel about it. If it makes you upset then I’ll find ways to help you, if you want peace I will give it to you. If you wanted a bloody star I’d get it for you Alana. Because you are special, because of who you are.’ He said softly, holding her softly. “You are my equal, you are my light and my love. You are their friend and their sister. You are their hero too.’

Dallen held her close. “You’re friend has been long gone my dear... He was a shell of who he once was, nothing but a pawn of Prides essence. I only got corrupted, not human.” He said softly. His body relaxed a bit at her touch, allowing him to revert back to a human appearance. “Let’s go home. Oh, and brother dear... you ever come near her again, you’re virtue is going to have a lot easier time running things for eternity.” He said lowly, a hiss escaping his throat.

((Whoops))
Bryn glared at his friend and sighed “Zahir I have no idea what to do. I don’t even quite understand what the hell I am now.” He said, his voice having a sad tone. “She needs help of people a lot stronger than me... and I need to be sure I don’t do something stupid that will hurt her more.”
Some jerk across the bar started getting loud with a female he was with, acting high and mighty and calling the girl worthless. Bryns eyes sparked up in anger. “Hey! Back off and get out!” He said lowly. The man stood up, red eyes glowing. “Who do you think you are? Do you know who I am?!”
Bryns form twitched for a second before revealing his blazing horns and tail. “Do you know who I am? Get out before I show you exactly who I am.” He snarled lowly. The mans eyes looked shock in fear, cowering in fear of the power that radiated off the bar owner. The man scurried out the door in a panic. Bryn stood there with a growl for a moment, before his human form twitched back into reality. He shook his head and sighed heavily. “Damn it... well.. at least the bar is intact.” He muttered.

[Amiko]

As tears slowly rolled down her cheeks Alanna kissed Xander and ran her fingers through his hair as her heart thundered inside her chest feeling so full of emotions that it threatened to burst, and this was the only thing she could think of to stop it. Though all it did was make her heart best faster to kiss the man she loved for so long now.


Vera's throat felt tight and rather than trying to talk she just clung to dallen as her heart began to ache for Todd. She'd always known something was wrong with the others she worked with, but she never really could figure out what. She'd been immune to pride from day one, and it had pissed it off to no ends.
Pride snarled loudly and slowly stood up with bright green eyes glowing brightly. "This isn't over. You won't have my brother around all the time little gnat" with a deep snarl he then vanished leaving a chill in the air and making Vera shudder.


Zahir walked back towards Bryn cutting a few people off as he walked and leaned against the bar again looking bored. "Look. You wanna know one of the best remedy's I've seen over all the years? It's what you all call love. And the truer it is the stronger it is at fixing stupid crap. No it's not the be-all-end-all but that plus whatever the other person needs seems to always work. Stop beating yourself up and see her again".

A girl slowly stumbled up to the bar and giggled softly before leaning forward and kissing Bryn for a minute making zahir slowly raise an eyebrow. He then laughed a little when she pulled back and a group of her friends cheered a bit at a nearby table. The minute he saw her group he knew he kiss was nothing more than a dare so to speak. Where the girl had to kiss whoever her friends decided. Andrea had got the others to do it only once back when she was drinking all the time, and had even got Kai to join in, which was more than a bit comical.


Darla glanced at deans book store as she walked but her eyes soon fell to the ground as she continued walking keeping her bag and suitcase close and mumbled "sorry Dean"

[She~Wolf]

“Sorry about what?” Came a voice from in front of her. Dean stood there with a raised brow. “Really leaving?”

Xander kisses her back, holding her hair and her body firmly against him. He gave her a soft smile. “You back in my arms has turned me into a giddy child. I do apologize if I get too happy and ignore how stressed you are. Just punch me when I’m being stupid.” He said with a chuckle before kissing her again.

Dallen let out a low, eerie hiss. “That’ll be the day I’m dead.” He retorted in a mutter. He looked down at Vera, feeling her fear. “He won’t lay a finger on you, that I swear. I can’t kill him but if he looks at you cross I’ll drag him to a world of torture.” He said firmly, then his ton softened. “I am sorry about your friend. He wasn’t strong enough to resist temptations.”

Bryn raised a brow and sighed. “I will, when she doesn’t freak out seeing me.” He said. “Anyway enough of my drama. You still look like you got hit by horse. Are you sure you don’t want to go rest up?”

[Amiko]

The air around Carla was a bit tense but she signed softly keeping her eyes off the man who'd been trying so hard to be nice and get close to her "this place just isn't working for me.....so yeah....I'm not home here...I'm just on edge... And constantly reminded of things I'd rather forget"


Alanna rolled her eyes a bit before kissing Xander back before jerking away and grabbing her head when a searing pain shot through it out of nowhere.

With a slow breath Vera pulled back a little and looked up at dallen "I'll be fine....it just reminded me exactly how fragile I am now and kinda made me feel a bit sick..." She smiled weakly and lightly touched his cheek trying to get the sound of Todd's body hitting the wall out of her head. She wasn't exactly calm right now internally, but to the outside world she'd look like she was.
A few people walked by her and dallen, never noticing Todd and whispered among themselves about how weird Vera had to be to get close to "the blind freak from the woods". Vera rolled her eyes hearing them but didn't pull away from dallen at all. Instead she moved a little closer feeling a bit of a cool breeze glide over her making her body shudder a bit.


Zahir gave a dry laugh and stood up straight looking a bit bored,. " Oh please. Andrea has ALWAYS freaked out one way or another when she saw you Bryn . I'll be fine. Hell after tonight I'll probably be comatose the next two days for my days off. Not a huge fan of being a play thing, which means you have to get control of your crap. Because if you snap or lose it, you'll be pulling on me just like the others". He slowly looked at Bryn from the corner of his eye before walking off to fill a few orders down the bar.
