Jaidan stirs, groaning quietly and blinking his eyes awake, looking to see if he was still snuggled with Vincent. Lucy starts to cry, stuck in between Emma and Levi, feeling like she was being crushed. Jordan was out cold, clearly still very tired as she didn't even flinch when Lucy started crying. Jake was still snuggled up to Kye, half asleep. Celeste wakes up, looking around and looking confused at first before Remembering and quickly shaking Zarron quickly. "Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy!!" Addison was awake, staring at the wall, annoyed as she didn't have her phone and was bored. Aaron stirs, shifting and looking next to him for Kayla and Carter. Jaidan was against a pillow. Vincent had his back to him, slouched over with his shirt off, a cigarette in his mouth and a handful of pills in his hand, that he was staring at quizzically. Kye groans as he's quickly jerked awake by Lucy, still very very tired, but forcing himself to stretch and get out from underneath Jake to tend to Lucy, noticing where she was and scooping her out from between them carefully with his jaws. Zarron groans loudly as he slowly woke up. "Whaaaat...?" Kayla was still asleep, holding Carter very carefully. Jaidan sees the pills and frowns deeply, sitting up and resting his chin on Vincent's shoulder from behind. "Daddy.. Please give those to me.." Lucy stops her crying and just wines quietly, looking around for food, her teeth sharpening, her not having eaten since the first time Jordan fed her. Celeste giggles happily. "Real school!!" Aaron nudges Kayla softly. "Hey.." Vincent frowns deeply, closing his fist over them. Kye sighs, setting her down against the corner of the couch. Zarron lets out a long sigh. "Yeah, yeah.." Kayla shifts lightly, letting out a quiet noise of recognition, before a few moments later, slowly blinking her eyes open. Jaidan sighs shakily, hugging him tightly from behind, taking the cigarette from his mouth and putting it out, moving around and into his lap, glancing at his hand and resting his head on his chest. "I love you, dad.. You don't need to take those.. It.. It won't do anything.. Trust me.. It just makes things more complicated.." he looks off, Remembering times where he had done this, and all of them, him ending up in the hospital. Lucy didn't seem to mind this, digging her claws into the couch, very very quiet words able to be heard by Kye, but not like when Emma and him spoke telepathically, it actually coming from outside his head. "Food.. Where can I get food..?" Celeste giggles more. "I'm super excited!! Get up!! You have to help me get ready!!" Aaron sighs. "Has Carter opened his eyes at all..?" Jared had his arm over Aaron from behind, still asleep but Aaron didn't seem to mind. Vincent grumbles quietly, even simply from this it was obvious how tired he was, based on his scratchy, worn voice. He just stared at him, as if his mind was elsewhere. Kye tilts his head. "You can.. speak..?" Zarron yawns, sitting up and taking off his bandana as he rubbed his eyes. Kayla shakes her head. "Not that I've seen.." Lucy looks to him, giggling quietly, her mouth barely moving. "Yesss.. Now I want food.." Celeste jumps off the bed. "What clothes do I wear?? We didn't bring anyyyyy! And these clothes are too biggg!" Jaidan slowly moves his hand to Vincent's hand with the pills, not trying to open it, just resting his hand on top of it, moving his other hand to the back of his head, rubbing his head softly. "Dad.. I love you.. I've done this one too many times.. It's not worth it.. Trust me.. All you do is lose everything you care about.. It.. It does nothing helpful.." His eyes start to tear up a bit, his voice breaking slightly. "Dad.. P-Please.. I'm not letting you die like this, too.. Please.. I'm begging you.." Aaron nods a bit, looking down at Carter, rubbing his head softly. "Maybe he'll open them soon.." Kayla nods, watching him. "We should take him to the hospital.. just.. so they can check on him..." Vincent looks away. "Funny.. just reinforces what I thought.." when he spoke, the condition of his voice was much more evident. It was as if someone had shredded his vocal cords. This had been heard before, but those other times his voice box would kick in to correct it. This time, nothing. Kye thinks. "Mm.. I'll get you some..." he slowly gets off the couch, going to the kitchen. Zarron lets out a long sigh. "You wear those clothes.."
Celeste raises both eyebrows. "I can't wear these!!! Are you kidding me?! These are awful!" Lucy rips her claws through the couch cushion, smiling at it and grabbing some stuffing from inside, playing with it. Aaron nods a bit, carefully moving Jared off him, sighing shakily. "Robert or whatever has Athena.." Jaidan frowns deeper, wanting to change the topic to see if he could get him to accidently drop the pills. "M-Mmf.. Is your voice box broken..? I can fix it if you need me to.." Zarron looked exhausted. "Well, you don't have anything else." Kye hops onto the counter and grabs a cup from the cabinet, trying to be quiet and careful, but nevertheless he drops it, and it shatters on the ground. He yelps, quickly stepping back from the edge. Kayla nods. "Mm.. could you get her..?" Vincent kept a tight grip. A smile slides across his face and he shakes his head, tilting unit back and at an angle so he was staring up at the ceiling, and laughs. "Ahh~..." he puts his other hand against his eye, slowly sliding it down his face, and then hooking a finger against his bottom jaw, pulling down but keeping his jaw stationary, pulling like Jaidan had seen him do in the springtrap suit. He gradually raises his bottom jaw, until he was biting down on that finger, his teeth not sharper than usual, but with how he was acting he could potentially bite it off if he added much more pressure. As he did this, with his pointer finger he was digging his nail into his cheekbone, having already drawn blood. All while he was doing this, he kept his smile.Jaidan frowns even deeper, carefully trying to move his hand away from his face. "Hey, Hey.. Calm down.. You're going to hurt yourself.. Remember, we're not supposed to do that.. We're supposed to talk to each other.. Not hurt ourselves or others.. You taught me that.." Aaron nods a bit, getting up and going to Robert's room, not even knocking, just going in. Robert was out cold. Aaron looks to see if Athena was with him. Celeste thinks and then smiles, grabbing a hair tie off her wrist and tying her shirt up as if it were a crop top, the shorts already being decent and she giggles a bit. "We can work with this then." She grabs her sneakers and puts them on, putting her hair up in a ponytail quickly but neatly. "How do I look?" Max hears this and gets up, quickly going into the kitchen to see what happened. Lucy wines quietly. Vincent just laughs harder, letting Jaidan take his hand, saliva dripping from his lip. Athena was not. Zarron shrugs. "Mm.." Kye's fur was fluffed up in surprise, and seeing Max his ears fold against his head, and he slips further away. Max sees the glass and sighs, grabbing a broom and sweeping up the glass, then going over to the counter where Kye was. "What were you trying to do? I'll help you this time." Celeste frowns a bit, grabbing her walkie talkie and hooking it to her pants. "You're supposed to tell me I look good." She glances towards the door. "Can you take me to school?" Jaidan sighs shakily, wiping the saliva off his face, hugging him tightly. "Dad.. Please.. I love you.. You have to fight it.." Aaron's eyes widen and she frantically searches the house for her. Kye gestures to the cabinet. "I need a cup.. to feed Lucy.." Zarron yawns again. "Yeah, I will.." Vincent lets out a light sigh. "Such skewed perspectives~.. this is what they think I need to fight it~" She didn't seem to be in any other part of the house. Jaidan sniffles, gripping onto him tightly. "Daddy.. Please.. I'm begging you.. In not in the best state now, either.. L-Let's go to Karma's room, yeah..? H-He can help us.." His bottom lip was noticably quivering. Celeste nods, going over to him and climbing into his arms, laying her head on his chest. "Let's go then!!" Max nods, grabbing a cup and setting it on the counter. "What're you gunna feed her?" Aaron looked panicked, running back to Jared's room and looking at Kayla. "I-I can't find her!!" Aaron was breathing heavily, terrified and shaking violently. "Sh-She isn't here!!" Celeste looked nervous, playing with Zarrons armor suit. "Mmf.. I'm a little scared.." Max holds the cup steady to make sure it didn't move. Emma shifted a little in her sleep. Lucy was still wining quietly. Jaidan shakes his head. "I do need to worry.." Vincent shakes his head again, slowly nodding his head back to eye level and putting his other hand against Jaidan's cheek. "You worry too much..~ You're overthinking this..~" Kayla frowns deeply, quickly getting up and off the bed. Zarron sighs. "Well, you were the one who wanted to go." When Kye was done, he sets his leg back down.
Celeste nods. "I know, I know.. Just scared.." As they approached the school, which was huge, with many many kids, Celeste screams, her grip tightening on Zarron. "WHY THE HELL ARE THERE SO MANY PEOPLE?! THATS WAY MORE THAN NEEDED!!" Jaidan let's him do this, sniffling. "M-Mmf.. No.. You're just not in a good mental state right now.. You're okay.." Jared was still asleep. Aaron looked horrified. "Wh-Where is she?!" Max sighs, grabbing the cup for him. "How are you going to get her to drink from a cup exactly? Did you not think to use a bottle or something?" Max shakes his head and smiles warmly at him. "It's okay. I just figured you'd know with Emma but then again she's really smart." He grabs a bottle out of a cabinet, pouring the blood into it and then sealing it, showing it to Kye. "Like that." He helps Kye off the counter and holds the bottle out to him for him to grab with his jaws. "Now you have her drink it." Celeste looks at him, a terrified look on her face. "TH-THAT'S MORE PEOPLE THAN I'VE EVER SEEN!!" Aaron looked terrified and horrified. "Sh-She was with Robert!!" Jaidan screams, quickly putting a hand to his throat and cutting off his oxygen supply and making it impossible to swallow. "SPIT. THEM. OUT." He puts his other hand to his mouth, trying to fish the pills out of his mouth. Kye takes it carefully, nodding and going back to Lucy, hopping back onto the couch. Zarron looked annoyed. "Yea, yeah.." Kayla quickly goes into Robert's room, still holding Carter, and looking for herself, simply scanning the room carefully. Vincent keeps his mouth sealed shut tight, staring at Jaidan with a sharp look in his eyes, doing very determined. He spoke through gritted teeth, just barely being able to get this out with both no oxygen and keeping the pills away from Jaidan's grasp, with it very weak and quiet, barely audible, "Keep.. doing.. that... and... even..tually... You'll.. kill.. me...." Jaidan cries harder, slowly moving his shaky hand from Vincent's throat. "P-P-Please... P-Please, D-Daddy.. D-Don't do Th-This.." Lucy had made a hole in the couch and was pulling the stuffing out, seeing Kye and giggling happily, reaching her arms towards him. "Daddy..!" Max follows, sitting next to Lucy and Kye on the couch. Robert was still asleep, a pillow over his face. Aaron follows, crying harshly. Celeste sighs shakily, gripping onto Zarron tightly. "M-Mmf.." A group of kids stares at them as they walk by, one of them laughing and saying. "Who the hell is she? Still getting carried like a child." Another one saying, "She's a baby." Celeste frowns deeply, holding onto Zarron even tighter. "M-Mmf.." Vincent stares him dead in the eyes, and swallows. Kye sees the hole and groans, knowing how Vincent was acting he'd most likely have to pay to fix it. Zarron rolls his eyes, going in. Kayla frowns. "Did you check under the bed..?"
Lucy grabs the bottle from him, trying to get it in her mouth. Max smiles warmly at her, carefully setting the bottle up in her mouth, scooping her up and holding it for her, examining her. "I can help you out until you can change back.. She's.. Beautiful by the way.." Lucy didn't seem to mind Max, drinking the bottle at a quick pace, seemingly liking it a lot, watching Kye out of the corner of her eye. Jake was hanging halfway off the couch from when Kye moved, the only thing on the couch being an arm and a leg. Aaron shakes his head and us s his phone for a flashlight, quickly getting on the ground and looking under the bed. Celeste digs her face into Zarrons neck. "Mmf.. I'm not a baby.. Do I just ignore them..? They're just stupid..?" There were many kids, it being a K-8 school and the office was closeby. Jaidan stops crying, just staring at Vincent with wide, scared, pained eyes, he puts a hand to Vincent's cheek. "I-I love you, D-Daddy.." Kye smiles at Max. "Heh.." he looks over, seeing Jake and bristling, quickly bounding over and helping the other two limbs off and nuzzling him. Zarron nods, and heads into the office. Vincent smiles calmly. Athena was curled up there snuggled up to a knife. Jake groans quietly, shifting and looking up at him, chuckling a bit weakly and petting his head, his voice sounding tired. "Hey, baby.." Max continues to feed Lucy and when she was done, he sets the bottle down, grabbing a paper towel and shifting her over his shoulder, patting her back softly until she spit up. Lucy wines, Max wiping her face and cradling her. "You're okay, sweetheart.." Jaidan sighs shakily. "Wh-What did Y-You t-take..?" There was someone at the front desk. Celeste rests her head on his shoulder, her ears flattened against her head to try to block out some of the noise from in the halls, all of this making her head hurt as she had been in the quiet, peacful environment with Zarron for many years. Aaron's eyes widen and he quickly pulls her from under the bed, trying to grab the knife carefully, flinching as he cuts deep into his palm. "Give that to me!" Vincent shrugs. "What they gave me." Kye smiled a bit at him. Athena wines loudly as she was jolted awake, starting to cry as she didn't know what was happening, gripping onto it as tight as she could. Zarron sighs, going up to them. "Hello. I'm here to sign up my daughter." The person glances at both of them, raising an eyebrow at how small their age difference was and that Zarron was holding Celeste "Uh.. Alright.." They grab a packet of papers and a pen, holding them out to Zarron. Celeste was snuggled up to him, ignoring the persons reaction. Aaron's hand was bleeding profusely but he kept trying to grab the knife, not caring about the blood dripping and the pain shooting through his hand. "ATHENA! GIVE ME THE KNIFE!" Jaidan frowns deeply. "M-Mmf.. Wh-Who..? Th-The creatures and voices...?" Jake pulls his head down towards him, kissing his jaw a few times, nuzzling him. "You're so beautiful.." Jordan shifts, curling up into a ball and groaning, keeping her eyes clutched shut. Lucy squirms from Max's arms, Max laying her carefully on the ground next to Jordan. Lucy reaches her arms towards Jordan, wining as she couldn't reach her. "Mommy..!!" Zarron takes the pen, and looks over the papers. Athena's eyes widen, and she whimpers, quickly letting it go as she realised who he was. Vincent shakes his head. Kye licks his face lightly, giving him a loving look, before looking back towards Lucy. The papers were asking for guardians names, Numbers, email addresses, and other information, information about Celeste such as medical history, age, grade. Aaron takes the knife and throws it across the room, fully taking in the pain from his hand now, groaning and grabbing Athena with his good arm, just letting his palm drip, light headed and frowning deeply. "Mmf.." Jaidan sniffles. "Th-Then who..?" Jake stares at Lucy, raising an eyebrow. "Alright.. Another talking baby.." Lucy was frantically trying to get to Jordan, Jordan laying there still mostly asleep, but was squirming in pain, her hands wrapped around her belly. Zarron fills in his own name, number, email address, and everything else. Kayla looked worried, quickly kneeling down to him and observing his hand. "Aaron..!" Athena kept crying, scared. Vincent chuckles. "The doctors~" Kye sighs, grabbing her carefully with his jaws and placing her next to her. Celeste stayed snuggled up to him, staring out the window of the office and into the halls, her chin resting on Zarrons shoulder. "Mmf.. This is pretty scary.." The person takes the papers and does the stuff to get her registered, looking to Zarron once they were done, handing him a schedule. "She can start today. Here's her schedule. Alll the subject plus demonology after school. You will have a substitute in demonology. Mr. Afton is out sick." Celeste's eyes widen a bit as she hears this, looking to Zarron and muttering. "....Which one....?" Lucy quickly grabs onto Jordan's chest, pulling herself on top of her, nuzzling her softly. Jordan groans quietly, opening her eyes and looking down at Lucy, smiling weakly and rubbing her back softly. "You're so sweet..." Max looks to Kye, getting on the ground next to him. "Can I see your wounds?" Aaron closes his hand tightly, sighing shakily and getting up, stepping out of Robert's room so he could sleep, going to the kitchen and holding his hand over the sink to catch the blood, leaning against the counter as he was extremely lightheaded. "M-Mmf.." He doesn't look at Kayla, just holding Athena weakly in his other hand. Jaidan sniffles, wining loudly. "Y-You aren't s-supposed t-to take Th-That m-many.." Zarron bristles, looking to the person. "Mr. Afton?" Kye frowns. "Why..?" Kayla quickly follows, looking ever more concerned as he didn't look at her. "Let me help.." Vincent shakes his head, still looking calm. "Not true." He gestures out to a desk, where a multitude of pill bottles were, and a paper. Aaron sighs shakily, setting Athena on the counter and shaking his head a bit weakly. "M-Mmf.. I-It's.. F-F..ine.." He looked like he was about to pass out, gripping onto the counter weakly with his good hand, frowning deeply. Jaidan sees them and wines louder, gripping onto Vincent tightly. "Wh-Why are you d-doing Th-This...? I-I-I love you S-So much.. P-Please.. S-Stop this.. I-I'll do anything.. I-It isn't worth I-It.." he gets up and goes over to the desk, looking at the paper. The person nods. "Mmhm. He and his two children got into an accident or something and he called out for a few days." Celeste looked nervous, her ears folding against her head. Max sighs. "I want to see how they're doing and make sure you're okay. Also for Emma's sake." Kayla grips onto his arm. "No, Aaron.." Vincent just shrugs. The paper was an official medical document, listing Vincent's prescription to 10 different medications, all with separate amounts recommended, adding up to 20 pills. Zarron sighs. "Which.. Afton?" Kye's frown deepens, and he nods. "Okay..." Jaidan raises both eyebrows. "O-Oh.." He turns back to face Vincent, going back over to him and hugging him tightly, getting back in his lap, nuzzling him. "Y-You really scared m-me.. Wh-What are they all F-For..?" Max nods, carefully examining his leg and chest. "We need to keep these clean. It'll speed up your recovery." Jordan had sat up and was feeding Lucy, Lucy eating hungrily. Jordan sighs shakily, kissing her on the forehead. Jake had his eyes closed again and his head resting next to Kye. Aaron collapses, staying conscious but his head smacking the counter, hard on the way down, him letting out a weak yelp, tears coming to his eyes instantly, just glad he had set Athena down. The person thinks. "Kye Afton." Celeste quickly digs her face into Zarrons shoulder, hating this but also feeling betrayed that Kye had more kids, just completely forgetting about her. Vincent laughs, tilting his head so it was hanging down. "Everything.. "wrong" with me~ That's what I've been supposed to be taking for years~" Kye sighs. "Mmf..." Zarron frowns deeply. "I see.. is there.. another.. demonology teacher?" Kayla screams out in panic, quickly putting her hand against the back of his head and examining it. Athena cries harshly at Kayla's scream as his yelp. The wounds didn't look great, still with clear signs of infection on both this time, and they didn't look to have healed much, if at all.
Max let's out a long sigh. "Kye.. These need to stay clean.. Can I give you a bath and clean them, please?" Jake moves his hand to Kye's front paw, rubbing it softly and mumbling with his eyes still closed. "I can bathe him.. I need a bath, too.." Max looks to Kye. "Whatever you want." Jaidan sighs shakily and nods a bit, holding onto him tightly and muttering. "I just didn't want you to take those pills if they weren't prescribed... Mmf.. Do they make you feel any better..?" The person glances at him, raising an eyebrow. "No..? Why?" Celeste mutters to Zarron very very quietly. "M-Maybe he doesn't remember me.. I-It might be O-Okay.." Aaron was crying harshly, his hand still bleeding. His head seemed to be decently okay, there being a clear spot where there would be a lump, though. Aaron's vision was blurry and he was shaking, his ears ringing and the only things breaking through were Kayla's screams and Athena's crying, him trying to focus his vision to Carter, wanting to make sure he was okay. Kye wines, not wanting this but sighing shakily, knowing he needed it, and nods towards Jake. "..okay..." Vincent laughs loudly. "Who knows.. I have nothing else left to try.. I guess we'll find out.." he smiles airily. "If I'm going down the path of medical prowess I should probably check up on it to see if they want to add more~" he lets out a long sigh. "I wouldn't be surprised.." Zarron was not convinced. "I don't want my daughter near him." He was prepared to lie if he had to. Carter looked as he had since he first saw him, still in Kayla's arms with his eyes shut.
Aaron groans quietly, looking towards Kayla's face, his hand continuing to bleed and he was clearly in a lot of pain. "M-M-Mm..f.. H..Help..? M-Me.." Jaidan nuzzles him softly. "Mmf.. I'm on something too but it doesn't really do anything for me.. It's an antipsychotic.. Cuz.. They think I'm completely crazy.. But I've gotten much better, right..?" The person let's out a long sigh. "Why not?" Celeste nuzzles Zarron. "It's okay, daddy.. I want to go to school and if that means I have to see him and.. His.. Kids.. then I can do that.." Jake nods a bit. "Mmhm.." Max sighs and nods. "Alright.." Jake blinks his eyes open, sitting up and rubbing his eyes, yawning tiredly. "Mm.. Let's do it now so we can eat after.. I'm starving.." He stands up. "Do I need to carry you?" Kayla looked conflicted, as she was still holding Carter. "M-Mmf.." she quickly hands him to Athena who took him, however was surprised, and watches as Kayla quickly scoops Aaron up and darts to the couch, setting him there and quickly running to the bathroom to try to find bandages for his hand so things were more manageable. Vincent shrugs. "Yeah, yeah... heh... I haven't.." Zarron huffs, setting her down. "Please wait for me outside of the office." Kye looked a bit embarrassed. "Mmf... no..." There were plenty of bandages under the sink and in the medicine cabinet, it clear they were used often. Aaron stares at the ceiling blankly, soft wining coming from him. Jaidan frowns deeply, hugging him tighter. "I think you're doing fine.. Much better than I was doing for a while.." Celeste looked scared, but nods a bit, crossing her arms tightly over her chest and slowly walking out of the office, standing in the hall and staring at people as they walked by, feeling small and helpless, wining quietly as people kept giving her weird looks. The person sighs, staring at Zarron. Jake sighs, glancing at Max. "Mm.." Max sighs. "Just let him carry you. You need to rest your leg anyway." Jake smiles a bit and nods, scooping Kye up and looking down at him. "You know, you're much lighter like this then in your normal form." He heads upstairs to their room and into the bathroom, setting him down and shutting the door, making his scale clothing disappear as that was all he had on at the time, and turning on the tub to full heat as he turned it on. "So.. Um.. About the getting married thing.. Is it.. Something you'd want to do..?" Kayla, not thinking very hard about this and just quickly grabbing some and darting back to him, tightly wrapping his hand as quickly as she could. Vincent rolls his eyes, grumbling. "If I were [fine] he wouldn't be taking this pills.." Zarron lets out a long sigh. "Kye is my brother. He's also her biological father. He lost custody over the fact that he was neglecting and abusing her. I took her in to protect her from him." Kye stared at the ground with a sad, uncomfortable look on his face. "I... I need to improve myself.. before I can be making decisions like that.." Aaron sighs shakily, still wining quietly and looks up at her. "M-Mmf.. I-I'm okay N-Now.. G-Get Carter and A-Athena.." Jaidan sighs shakily, pushing him back against the bed and snuggling up on top of him, running his fingers through his hair gently. "M-Mmf.. Do you think.. that.. we're crazy..? Or just.. Special.. That's what you told me when I was little.. But.. Is it true..?" Jake frowns deeply, picking him up and putting him in the tub, getting in with him. "Mmf.." He puts his hand on Kye's snout, making him look at him. "You are so wonderful, Kye.. You are the most amazing, most perfect man I've ever met.. I'd never trade you for anyone or anything.. You.. Are the only reason for me being alive today.. And.. I love you so much.. You don't need to improve yourself.." He kisses his jaw softly several times, rubbing his belly softly. The person raises both eyebrows. "Oh.. Um.." They laugh awkwardly. "I'm.. Sorry.. But uh.. He's our only demonology teacher at the moment.. She could um.. Just not take that class, I guess.." They seemed really uncomfortable. Celeste slides down the wall, pressing her knees against her chest, sniffling and thinking about Kye. A boy who seemed to be in 8th grade as well walks over to Celeste, smiling warmly and sitting next to her. "Hey.. What's your name..?" Celeste stares at him, sniffling. "C-Celeste.. M-Mmf.." The boy nods, putting an arm around her, glancing around the halls. "I know it's scary here.. Have you ever been to a big school before?" Celeste shakes her head a bit. "N-No.. D-Daddy always taught me.." The boy nods, bringing her into a tight hug, seeing how scared she was. "It's okay.." Celeste hugs him back, clutching onto him tightly. Kayla nods, quickly going and getting them, scooping them both up, glad to see they were both fine. A smile drifts across Vincent's face, and his voice was slow, dull. "Jaidan, you can't really still believe that.." Zarron nods. "Thank you." Kye wines, not liking Jake talk about this kind of stuff, surprisingly. "Jake, it's not... Mmf.. if I want to survive I have to.." Jaidan frowns deeper. "M-Mmf.. B-But.. M-M-Mmf.. Wh-Why do we have to be crazy...? I-I hate it... P-People don't accept me B-Because of it.." The person nods. "Then she'd just follow the other classes." The boy was talking to Celeste about the school, keeping her in the hug as it seemed to relax her, holding her tightly. Celeste rests her head on his shoulder, staring out into the hallway. "Mmf.. You can be my boyfriend if you want.." The boy raises both eyebrows. "Uh.. What..?" Celeste smiles at him. "You can be my boyfriend.. Like in the movies.." The boy chuckles. "Alright. Fine. I'll be your 'boyfriend'." Celeste nuzzles him, giggling a little. Aaron holds his arms out for Carter, staying laying down. "L-Let me hold h-him.." Jake sighs shakily, looking disappointed and looking off, it clear he wanted to get married. "Mmf.. Just know.. I love you.. Please.. And I'd do anything for you.. You just need to ask and I'll do it.." He hugs him tightly, moving him into his lap, carefully getting all his fur wet. "That ring I gave you signifies that I love you with all my heart and I'd do anything for you.. That's why I gave it to you.." Vincent lets out a long sigh. "Comes with the territory.." he looks off. "Do you want to come with me..?" Zarron nods. Kayla carefully hands him to him. Kye nuzzles him. "I know.. I do love you, I'm just.. not ready for that yet... Especially not with Lucy now.." Jaidan nods a bit, getting up and getting clothes on, handing Vincent his shirt once he was done. "Here.." The person nods, looking back to their computer. "Have a nice day." Celeste had moved partially into the boys lap and the boy was just staring at her with his arms around her. Celeste dug her face into his shoulder, waiting for Zarron. Jake nuzzles him back, starting to wash him, staring at him as he did, trying to brighten the mood a bit by scratching his belly, shutting the curtain so if he splashed it would be okay. "Why do you have to be so beautiful..? I knew I loved you from the first day we met.. And to think I thought you were a horrible person.." He chuckles a bit. "Turns out, you're the most amazing person I've ever met.." Aaron takes him, curling up around him and rubbing his head softly, whispering to him quietly. "You're so beautiful.." He glances at Kayla. "Is he human..?" Vincent takes it, putting it on. Zarron walks out, and seeing Celeste and the boy, he bristles, glaring viciously at the boy. "Celeste! Up!" Kye sinks a little at his touch, but frowns deeply, this doing the opposite. "Wait, Wha'do you mean..?" Kayla stares for a moment, before nodding quietly. Jake sighs. "Welllll.. You were a really bad homophobe and hurt Jaidan.. I wasn't exactly so fond of the idea of you.. But you know what, don't judge a book by its cover.. Now I have an amazing fiancé and beautiful children.." He continues to scratch his belly. Aaron nods, looking back to Carter. "Has he eaten..? He needs to eat.." Celeste frantically scrambles to get up, standing up straight and looking up at him. "I was just making friends.. He's my boyfriend now.." The boy frowns deeply, slowly standing up, staring at Zarron, and seeing his armour suit. "M-Mmf.. I'm sorry, s-sir.." Jaidan sighs shakily, hugging him tightly. "I love you.." Kye just looked more sad, as if he had thought about this previously on his own, but tries to ignore it, focusing on the scratches. Kayla shakes her head. "I... I know.. he just.. he hasn't... Mmf.. I can try, now..?" Zarron growls at him, putting his hand against a holster housing a gun. "Yeah. You better be." Vincent hugs him back loosely. "Mm.. lets go..." The boy stared at his gun fearfully. "M-M-Mmf.." Celeste rolls her eyes. "It's just a gun, James." She hugs James tightly, nuzzling him and looking at Zarron. "He says he'll show me to my classes. Can I have my schedule pleaseeee?" James sighs shakily. Jaidan nods a bit, grabbing Vincent's hand and holding it tightly, heading out. "M-Mmf.." As they walked, Jaidan stared at the ground and was muttering things to himself, whatever he was saying clearly making him upset as a tear runs down his cheek. Aaron nods a bit, sitting up carefully and holding him out to her. "I'll hold Athena.." Jake smiles weakly at him, scratching vigorously, knowing he liked this. "Mm.. Lucy seems like she'll be a good kid.." Lucy had started crying and Emma had grabbed her, bolting up the stares and into the bathroom with her, going over to the tub and opening the curtain partially. "Lucy's was crying." Lucy was wining quietly in Emma's arms. Jake stares at them. "Set her on the bed and let her sleep. Baby's tend to cry sometimes." Zarron huffs, handing it to her, still glaring at "James". Vincent notices this. "You alright?" Kayla hands her to him. Kye lets himself dip further into the water, letting the euphoria overtake him. Emma sighs and nods, smiling a little from the feeling Kye was getting, leaving the bathroom again and going to the bed with Lucy, laying down with her. Jake looks back down at Kye, continuing to scratch his belly, nuzzling his neck and sighing shakily. "Mm.. Tell me when to stop.." Jaidan glances up at him, his eyes pained and filled with tears. "M-M-Mmf... N-No.." He looked extremely guilty. Aaron takes Athena and holds her close, sighing shakily and nuzzling her softly. "Carter's your new brother, baby girl.." Celeste shows it to James. James smiles and nods. "Same schedule." Celeste giggles happily. "Cool!!" She goes over to Zarron, jumping into his arms and hugging him tightly, kissing him on the cheek. "I've got my walkie talkie and I'll tell you when to come pick me up, okay??" Kye's head falls into the water as he loses control of his muscles. Vincent furrows his brow. "What's wrong..?" Athena looked confused. "why..?" Kayla holds Carter, and lifts her shirt, carefully trying to feed him. Zarron kept his eyes on James. "Uh-Huh.." Celeste hugs him tightly for a few seconds before jumping out of his arms. "See you later!!" She giggles, grabbing James' hand as he walks towards a classroom, her swinging their arms. Another boy stops them before they could get to the class, grabbing James from Celeste and shoving them both against the wall. James yelps. "AYE!! LEAVE HER ALONE, CAMERON!!" Cameron chuckles, pinning them both against the wall. "Nope! Who is she?" Celeste was struggling frantically, growling loudly at him and getting ready to use her magic, her entire body turning ice cold and she glares at Cameron viscously. "NOBODY. TOUCHES. MY. BOYFRIEND." Jake holds his head up above the water for him, chuckling. "No drowning please." He stops after a few moments, nuzzling him softly. "What all are we allowed to use now with the 60's thing and whatnot?" Aaron sighs. "Because he's me and mommy's kid too. Just like you. Which makes you his big sister."Carter latches on, eating slowly.
Jaidan stops, pulling his waistband down on his boxers and pants a bit near his hip where it had been covered, there being a bandage over it. "M-Mmf.. I-I did it again.. B-But only once, S-So I was hiding it.. I-It was an accident and I-I didn't mean to a-and I'm okay.. I-It was after M-Mom h-hurt me.." Zarron had walked out of the building, already regretting doing this. Kye groans, not quite out of it yet. "Mm.. stuff.." Athena frowns deeply. "Oh.." Vincent frowns deeply, bristling a bit and looking off, pursing his lips. "Thank you for telling me.." Kayla smiles a little, glad he was taking to it. Aaron frowns a bit at her reaction. "Aren't you happy to have a brother..?" Carter drinks a decent amount before stopping, moving his face away slightly, wining very very quietly. Jake giggles a bit. "Sorry, sorry. Forgot you get 'high' every time I do that. Tell me when you're good." Jaidan let tears run down his cheeks and he hugs Vincent tightly. "P-Please don't be m-mad.. I-It's been almost a y-year.. I-I was just v-very upset.. I-I'm okay N-Now.. I p-promise.." James glances at Celeste. Cameron chuckles, dropping James and pinning Celeste against the wall with her hands above her head. "Mm. She's quite pretty, James. Mind if I steal her for a bit?" James looked terrified, backing away slowly from them before bolting off. Celeste squirms. "S-Stop!!" Cameron chuckles, covering her mouth and dragging her off towards a janitor closet, going in with her and locking the door. After a while when Zarron had time to be home, Celeste grips onto her walkie talkie, harsh crying able to be heard and it was clear she was in pain, her screaming in between some cries, curled up on the floor of the closet, not able to get any words out. Athena shrugs. "Mmf.. not really..." Kayla sighs, quickly heading to the kitchen to get a rag, and burps him carefully once she set him up. Kye groans, just letting himself sit. Vincent shakes his head. "It's okay, bunny.." they reach the asylum. Zarron notices this, grabbing his walkie talkie and speaking into it carefully. "Um.. Hello?" Jaidan smiles weakly at him but as soon as he sees the asylum his eyes widen and he grips onto Vincent's hand as tight as he could, staring at the building with wide eyes, looking terrified as he remembered when he and Karma were put in one, and how they were separated and everything else that happened. "M-M-Mmf..." Celeste continues to cry into it. "A-A-A b-boy.. N-Named.. C-Cameron.. H-He.." She let's out more harsh cries. "H-He-He hurt m-me.. H-H-He broke.. S-S-Something.. I-I think.." She continues to cry. Carter spits up, his eyes opening slightly as he looked up at Kayla. Aaron frowns more. "Mmf.. Why not..? Is it because you're not the youngest..?" Jake sighs, using his magic to heat the tub up more, laying back and closing his eyes, letting Kye's head rest in his lap, looking like he could fall asleep again. Vincent sighs, seeing this. "It's okay, Jaidan. It's okay." He walks into the building, holding him close. Kye coughs a little, shifting and nuzzling his lower belly. Athena shakes her head, looking very sad. "Mmf... you're going to like him more than me..." Kayla's eyes widen, and she looks into them to see what they looked like. Zarron bristles. "I'm on my way." He bolts back towards the school, going into his dragon form and flying at high speeds. Jake rubs his head softly, letting out a long sigh, mumbling quietly. "Mm.. Let's just stay like this forever.." Jaidan presses his face into Vincent's side, breathing heavily and looking like he was panicking. "D-Don't let them T-Take me.." Carter's eyes were a very very dark blue and he kept them barely open, just staring up at her and cooing quietly. Aaron lets out a long sigh, holding.her tightly and whispering to her. "I will never love him more than you.. You two are equals.. You are both my children that I will love and protect.." Celeste had managed to get herself into a nearby girls bathroom, but collapsing as soon as she got inside, clutching her chest and gasping for air frantically, pain shooting through her body and she had her walkie talkie gripped tightly in her hand. "P-P-Please.. H-Hur-Hurry.." Kye smiles a little. "Mm~" Vincent shakes his head. "They won't..." he goes up to the desk at the front, sighing, and looking to the person there. "Hey, I was a patient here a while back.. I just wanted to talk to someone about a screening for all the medications, just make sure they're still up to date, all that.." Athena curls up, not sure what to believe, but simply hoping this was true. "Mm... okay..." Kayla lets out a breathy laugh, joy filling her. Zarron quickly stops as he got there, going back into his regular form and bursting through the doors, looking incredibly suspicious the way he did this, and puts the walkie talkie to his mouth again, asking, "where are you?!" Stragglers in the hall stared at Zarron suspiciously and quickly ran off. Celeste cries into the walkie talkie. "Th-Th-The girls b-bathroom.. N-N-Near r-room 148.. I-I-It h-hurts.. H-Hurry.." Jake shifts a bit, snuggling up to Kye in the tub, warming his body to keep the tub hot. "It's warm, got water, and it's got my favorite thing in the world.. You.." Carter grabs onto her shirt tightly, opening and closing his fist over it. Aaron sighs, rubbing her back softly with his good hand. "You're still my first child, hunny bunny.. You'll always have a special place in my heart.." The person glances at him, immediately recognizing him and letting out a long sigh, nodding and typing some stuff into her computer, gesturing to a waiting area. "Give him a few." Jaidan gripped onto Vincent as tight as he could, shaking violently, clearly very paranoid as his eyes kept darting around as if looking for something or someone trying to get him.
Zarron quickly heads there, scanning the room numbers until he found the bathroom and knocking vigorously on the door. Kye smiles a bit. Kayla giggles lightly, blissfully happy as she just watched him, bouncing him slightly. Athena nuzzles his chest, believing this a bit more. "Thank you.." Vincent leads Jaidan to the waiting room. "Bud, it's okay. We're here for me, they don't even know anything about you here. Okay? It's fine." Jake dozes off quickly, his head resting on Kye so it didn't fall under the water, having positioned Kye's head on his leg so they could both keep their heads up, him snoring quietly, it clear he was still exhausted. Celeste carefully uses her feet to kick herself away from the door. "C-C-Come.. I-In..." Aaron sighs shakily, glancing back towards the kitchen. "Hey, Kayla! Is Carter okay? Did he eat?" Carter hears Aaron's voice and curiously turns his head in the direction of the living room. Jaidan sits in his lap, pressing his face into his chest, breathing in frantic gasps, holding onto him tightly. "B-B-But.. S-Still.. Th-They might T-Take you f-from me.. L-Like.. Th-They t-took Karma.." Vincent shakes his head. "No, Jaidan. Everything will be fine. I'm calm. I can do this without any need for that." Kye closes his eyes as well. Zarron quickly bursts in, slamming the door behind him and observing her. Kayla heads back. "Mmhm!!" She looked overjoyed. Celeste was curled up on the floor and shaking violently. Her shirt was lifted up to reveal her bruised ribs and it clear there were some broken ones. Her right wrist was laying limp on the ground beside her, it clear this was broken as well from when she tried to fight back. She had a black eye, her nose bleeding, and her lip busted. She continued to cry harshly, whimpering. Aaron sees that Carter had his eyes open and his eyes widen, gesturing for Kayla to come over. "L-Let me see his eyes!!" Jaidan sighs shakily, trying to calm himself and eventually getting there by letting his head rest on Vincent's chest with his eyes closed. A doctor comes into the waiting room. "Vincent Afton?" Vincent carefully moves Jaidan off and gets up, heading to the doctor. Zarron's eyes widen, and he looks furious, sighing shakily as thoughts entered his brain. Kayla quickly bounds over to him, handing him over so he could see. Jaidan scrambles to get up, running over to him and grabbing onto his hand tightly, muttering quietly. "M-Mmf.. No leaving me behind.." The doctor sighs, heading towards an office, glancing back at them, clearly knowing who Vincent was. Aaron takes him and hugs hugs him tightly as he sees his eyes, nuzzling him softly. "His eyes are beautiful.." Carter grabs at Athena's face, cooing quietly. Celeste looked terrified, reaching her left hand shakily towards him, needing to be held by him. "M-M-Mmf.. I-I-It hurts... So B-Bad.. I-I can't f-feel my w-wrist.." Vincent holds his hand tight as he followed. "Hey, hey, I know.. I know.." Athena looked startled, quickly batting his hand away and pulling back. Kayla frowns a bit. "Athena, he was just being curious.." Athena frowns deeply. "Mmf..." Zarron snaps his jaw shut, thinking as he hugged her tight, but not tight enough to hurt her. Celeste cried against his chest, the pain in her chest overwhelming her body and she was limp in his arms, giving up on trying to keep herself together, her left arm wrapping around him but she let her right wrist just rest beside her. "H-H-He isn't n-nice.. H-He just.. H-Hit me.. A-And-And wouldn't stop.." Carter wines. Aaron sighs, holding them each in different arms, shifting Athena closer to Carter. "He's your brother, Athena.." Carter grabs onto her shirt, pulling on it, giggling wildly. Aaron smiles at this. The doctor goes into an office with a desk and two chairs in front of it, Jaidan quickly sitting in Vincent's lap in one, not wanting to sit alone, feeling if he wasn't close to him they'd take one of them away. The doctor sits in his spot, looking to Vincent. "What brings you here today?" Zarron huffs. "What's his name?" Athena tenses. "I don't like it..." Vincent sighs, shifting Jaidan and getting his bag, taking out the paper and placing it on the desk. "I wanted to check and see if my prescribed medications were still up to date... if any needed to be cut, switched, or if any needed to be added.. things like that." Aaron sighs, carefully taking Carter's hand away from Athena, setting Athena down in his lap and shifting Carter so he could grab his shirt. "You can play with my shirt, my sweet child.." The doctor nods, looking over the sheet, glancing at Jaidan. Jaidan digs his face into Vincent's chest, still holding onto him tightly but much more calm now. The doctor sighs and looks up at him. "How have you been doing with the medication? Celeste sniffles. "C-C-Cameron.. B-But.." She suddenly looked more scared. "D-d-dont leave m-me.. I-I just w-want to S-Stay w-with you.. I-I want t-to hurt h-him m-myself another time.." Athena looks off, sinking in his lap and just staring at the floor. Zarron huffs. "Celeste, I'm going to do something about this." Vincent sighs. "Well, I took it before Coming here, but.. other than that I haven't been taking it.."
Aaron sighs, holding Carter close as Carter rested his head on Aaron chest, rubbing his back softly and looking over to Kayla. "We're you really pregnant with him for.. three.. years..?" The doctor frowns a bit. "Oh.." he sighs. "How have you been doing without the medication?" Celeste grabs onto him tighter with her left hand. "N-N-No.. My ch-chest.. A-And arm h-h-hurt.. W-W-We have to f-fix them F-First.. Th-Then we k-kill him.." Kayla looks off. "I don't know.." it was most likely not, as no matter how much he supported her, it was nevertheless obvious that she was often times delusional, and not well-minded. Vincent thinks for a bit. "Erm... not great... it's.. gotten progressively worse over the past 3 years or so.." Zarron nods. "Alright..."
Aaron sighs shakily, leaning over to her and nuzzling her softly. "It doesn't matter, sweetheart.. I'm just glad I get to have an amazing family with you.." Celeste sighs shakily, shifting herself into his arms, still crying from all the pain shooting through her body, positioning her wrist so it was resting on her chest, being bridal style in Zarron's arms, whimpering quietly. "I-It hurts to b-b-breath.. A-A-And.. M-My wrist.. I-Is it broken..?" The doctor sighs and nods. "Mm.. Has anything big happened over the past 3 years?" Kayla smiles a little, nuzzling him back. Zarron sighs. "Shhh.. it is... just stay calm..." Vincent frowns. "Well.. um... heh, I married my wife... and um... got a new job... or uh, really another one.. I um, work multiple now.."
Jaidan frowns a bit, digging his face into Vincent's chest, sniffling. The doctor makes a sound of understanding. "Hm.. Have you thought about maybe you're overworking yourself?" Aaron sighs shakily, leaning his head against her shoulder, Carter tugging on his shirt and Kayla's hair now that he was close enough, cooing quietly. Aaron bounces his knee slightly for Athena. Celeste screams as she touches here wrist, crying harder which caused more pain to her chest, looking miserable and pressing her face into his chest, not knowing why any of this happened. "M-M-Make it s-stop.." Vincent lets out a long sigh. "My wife brought that up not too long ago... I suppose I could see how I could be, but..." he sighs. "I can't just leave them, they're.. important jobs.." Kayla carefully puts her hand against carter's to stop him pulling at her hair, but kept her smile. Zarron analysed the wound. "I need to get you to an ice type.." he curses under his breath, knowing that taking her to a hospital would help, yes, but compared to a demon's care wouldn't do anything for her, and that he knew only one person who could help her as effectively as he was hoping. The doctor sighs and nods understandingly. "Mm.. Well.. I think it would be a step in the right direction. What are your jobs?" Jaidan looked a bit happy of the idea of Vincent having more time off. Celeste cries harshly into his chest, breathing in frantic gasps as it was extremely painful to breath. "I-I-I wa..nna.. L-L-Leave.. H-He..re.. P-P-Please.." Carter giggles loudly, trying to crawl into her arms. Aaron very very carefully shifts him to her, keeping a hand on the back of his head to support it, smiling weakly. "He's wonderful.. I'm.. I'm so glad he's alive.." Emma comes into the bathroom again, opening the curtain and putting a hand on Kye's head, rubbing it softly and warming it to try to get him to wake up peacefully, whispering to him. "Hey, daddy.. Levi needs you.. It's important.." Vincent lets out a long sigh. "I'm a high up official in 2 separate governments." Zarron huffs, quickly scooping her up and taking her out of the bathroom. Kayla nods, holding him close. "Me too.." Kye shifts a little, not yet quite awake however.Emma sighs, continuing to rub his head with a warm hand. "Daddyyyy.. Get upppp.." Jake shifts a bit as well, his head snuggling up into Kye's neck. Aaron sighs shakily, picking Athena back up in one arm and snuggling up to Kayla and Carter, closing his eyes and just enjoying being with his family. The doctor makes a sound of understanding. "Ah.. Mm.. Maybe you could find someone to take your spot in one of them?" Celeste keeps a tight grip on his shirt with her left hand, continuing to cry harshly. "Wh-Wh-Where a-a..re y-you.. T-Tak..ing.. M-Me.." Kye groans, stretching, accidentally shoving Jake in the gut. Vincent looked unsure. "I doubt it... I was hired under.. special.. circumstances.. and the other, well... the other I was simply into.." Kayla was too, enjoying bliss. Zarron doesn't say, just running as fast as he could out of the school. Celeste digs her face into his chest. "M-M-Mmf.. P-Pl..ease.. A-Ans..wer m-me.. I-I'm.. S-Scared..." Jake yelps, jerking awake and quickly clutching his stomach. Emma quickly pulls her hand away from Kye's head, staring at both of them. The doctor sighs. "Mm.. Well.. That's just my advice." Jaidan nuzzles Vincent, whispering in his ear quietly. "If you stop working for the other one then you can spend more time with me.." Vincent gives him a sad look. "I know, but... I can't..." Zarron sighs. "We're going to my father's." Kye looked confused. "Eh..?" Celeste looks confused. "B-But.. I-i-isnt.. H-He the B-Bad one..?" Jake wines, curling up. "Y-You kicked me.. In the S-Stomach.." He groans quietly. Emma frowns a bit. "Mmf.. Levi needed daddy.." Jaidan nuzzles him again. "I could get a job.. That way it evens out a bit.." He smiles weakly at him. The doctor sighs, letting them talk. Zarron nods silently. Kye frowns. "Sorry..." Vincent furrows his brow. "Jaidan, you..." he pauses. "Mm.. maybe that would be best, actually.." Celeste wines quietly, pressing her face into his chest. "B-B-But Wh-What.. Wh-What I-If.. H-He w-w-wont h-help m-me..?" Jake sighs shakily, shaking his head a bit. "It's fine.." He sits up and drains the tub, grabbing his own towel and wrapping it around his waist after drying himself off, getting out and then grabbing another towel and looking to Kye. "Hop out but please don't shake yet. You can once I get some water off." Jaidan smiles a bit more. "Mmhm.. I haven't worked before but I can try.. I think I can.. I'm a lot better now.." Zarron grumbles. "Lets just hope he does." He gets there, and knocks vigorously on the door. Kye carefully hops out, but was very uncomfortable, fighting the urge to shake the water off. Vincent nods, sighing. "Let's worry about that later.." he looks back to the doctor.
Celeste nods a bit, leaving her face dug into his chest. Addison answers the door, looking confused at him, yawning. "Who the hell are you?" Jake sighs, rubbing the towel on him until it was soaked, throwing it to the side. "There. Now you can." Emma was sitting quietly on the closed toilet lid, waiting for them while swinging her legs back and forth. Jaidan nods, laying his head back down on his chest, sighing and staring at the ground silently. The doctor sighs, examining the sheet Vincent had given him. "Mm. We could probably increase the dose on a few of them." Zarron studies her, narrowing his eyes as he figured who she was. "Your stepson. I need to get inside. Is Vincent here?" Kye graciously shakes, vigorously. Vincent sighs, nodding. "Which ones?" The doctor sighs. "Schizophrenia, bipolar, and the OCD. How has your insomnia been?" Jake sighs, looking to Emma. "Where's Levi?" Emma sighs, hopping off the toilet and looking to Kye. "He locked himself in one of the other bathrooms. I couldn't tell if he was crying or not. Just that he wanted daddy or Vincent but Vincent isn't here so I came to daddy." Jake frowns a bit. "Oh.." Addison raises both eyebrows. "You're Zarron? And no. He's not. And I thought you two didn't talk?" She steps back to let them in. Celeste doesn't look up. Vincent frowns deeper. "I haven't slept well for months.. probably longer.. sometimes I just won't be able to, other times once I get to sleep I'll just be attacked by another nightmare.. and then, wake up.." Zarron goes in. "We don't. I'm here on Celeste's account. She's seriously injured." Kye looks worried. "Take me there.." The doctor sighs and nods, writing a few things down and then printing out quite a few slips of papers that were prescriptions, handing them to him. "These are refills on everything with the higher dosage on some." Addison frowns a bit, glancing at Celeste, going into one of the living rooms and sitting on a couch. "What's wrong with her and who is she?" Emma nods, quickly running out of the bathroom and to another bathroom on the other side of the house, knocking on the door. "I got daddy for you.." Jake sighs. "You go. You're his father." Jake goes into the bedroom, getting dressed. Vincent takes them. "What will this bring me up to?" Zarron was analysing her carefully. "She's my daughter. Many of her bones are broken." Kye frowns, but follows Emma, barking to signify his presence. The doctor sighs. "25." Jaidan frowns a bit at this number. Addison raises both eyebrows. "O-Oh.. Um.. Mmf.. He uh.. He sorta took away all our electronics.. I can't.. Text him.. He's making us all live how he did in the 60's.." Celeste had calmed her crying a bit but was shaking violently still, wining quietly. Emma quickly leaves as Levi had told her to, before hand. Levi unlocks the door and opens it only enough for Kye to slide in, muffled cries able to be heard. Vincent lets out a long sigh, murmuring To the Doctor, "you know, I tried initially to take my formerly prescribed dose and my son here thought I was trying to overdose." Zarron furrows his brow, scoffing. "What a dick. Do you know where he is? Or when he'll be back?" Kye quickly goes in, looking concerned. "What's wrong...?" The doctor frowns deeply. "I know it's a lot.." Jaidan sighs shakily, snuggling up to him. Addison sighs and shakes her head. "Jaidan went with him but I don't know where they went or when they'll be back. Probably not long though. Jaidan doesn't like to be out in public or just out of the house in general very much." There was blood covering the floor, along with Levi, it mixed in with his hair, all over his hands and clothing, his face covered as well, especially around his mouth. There was a small childs body laying on the floor, its heart having been ripped out and was half eaten next to the body. Levi looked terrified, shaking violently and staring at the body in horror. "I-I don't R-Remember doing Th-This... I-I blacked out Wh-When I was outside A-And then I w-woke up in here.." Vincent looks away. "Mm.." he gets up. "Is there anything else?" Zarron nods. "I'm not going to be around when he gets here. Can you take her?" Kye's eyes widen, and he goes still as he stares at the child's body. Levi cries harder, looking so confused, scared, and overwhelmed. "I-I don't R-Remember..! Wh-What's h-happening..?! I-I didn't do Th-This..!" Celeste's eyes widen and she yelps as she tries to move. "N-N-NO!!" Addison frowns deeply at Celeste. "Mmf.. I guess.." Celeste looked terrified. "I-I-I'm not l-leaving you A-Again..!! Th-That's Wh-What m-made me be h-hurt..!!" Jaidan clutches onto his arm, getting up with him. The doctor thinks for a moment before shaking his head. "No. That's all." Kye frowns deeply. "I-I Don't know.." Zarron looks t her. "I'm sorry, I can't be with you around him." Vincent nods. "Thank you." He heads out. Levi was still staring at the body and looks in the mirror at himself, crying even harder. "M-M-Mmf.. I-I-It's all O-Over m-me.." Jaidan follows closely, keeping a grip on his arm. "M-Mmf.." Celeste starts to cry harshly again. "B-B-But.. I-I-I need.. Y-You.." Addison frowns deeper. "Mmf.. I'll make Vincent help her even if you're here.." He moves over to sit next to them, putting a hand on Zarron's back. Kye sighs shakily. "Hey, it's okay.. I'll get you cleaned up..." Zarron shakes his head. "You don't get it. We'll kill eachother." Vincent heads out of the asylum, and back home. Addison sighs shakily. "Then how about you hide somewhere outside and I'll have him take care of her. Once he's done I'll bring her out to you. Okay?" Celeste looked a little less scared of this idea, sniffling a few times. Jaidan leans his head against him, staring at the ground as they walked. "What could I do for a job..?" Levi nods a bit shakily, sniffling. "Sh-Sh-Should I take O-Off my c-clothes...? A-And please D-Don't tell a-anyone a-about this.." Zarron nods. "Alright.. I suppose that would be fine." Vincent shrugs. "I'm.. not sure... um.. maybe a barista? Cashier?" Kye nods. "I won't, don't worry..." Levi sniffles and very carefully strips off all his clothes, still shaking violently, carefully laying a towel over the body so he didn't have to look at it. "M-M-Mmf.. I-I p-promise.. I-I didn't mean to D-Do this.." Addison nods, carefully taking Celeste and holding her close. Celeste wines a little bit let's her, kissing Zarrons chest softly as sh couldn't reach his face. "L-Love Y-Y-You, D-Daddy.." Jaidan nods a bit. "Mm.. Yeah, maybe.." Kye nods. "I know.. I've done worse.. it's okay..." Zarron rubs her head. "I love you too.." Vincent approaches the house, and Zarron hears, his head peeking up and he quickly darts off. Addison holds onto her tightly, rocking her and rubbing her head and watching the front door for Vincent. Jaidan opens the door and immediately sees Celeste, his eyes widening and he freezes. Levi sniffles and nods a bit. "M-Mmf.. H-How do we G-Get the blood O-Off..?" Vincent raises an eyebrow. "What is this?" Kye nuzzles him towards the bath tub. Levi gets in the tub slowly, turning on the tub water and sitting down, making it a temperature they could both stand, sighing shakily. "M-Mmf.. Wh-Why did I do Th-This..?" Addison quickly gets up with her, holding her close. "I need you to help her. She's got quite a few broken bones." Celeste slowly looks towards Vincent, still shaking, seeing Jaidan and frowning deeper. Jaidan quickly goes to a couch, sitting down and slouching, not wanting to see Celeste. Kye sighs. "I don't know.." Vincent furrows his brow. "Who is she? Why should I help?" Levi starts to clean the blood off his body slowly, sniffling and watching the red water go down the drain, still crying. "M-Mmf.. I-I wish I D-Didn't.. Mmf.. It's not f-fair that I'm sick and nobody e-else is.. Wh-Why am I the c-crazy one..? I-Its not fair.." Addison sighs shakily. "It doesn't matter who she is. I need you to help her. Please." Kye shakes his head. "You're not.." Vincent frowns deeply, not wanting to upset her. "Ugh... fine." Levi turns off the water once he was done, grabbing a towel and wrapping it around his waist, clutching onto it tightly, sniffling. "I-I am.. M-Mmf.. I-I hurt people.." Jordan was laying on the bed with Lucy, holding her tightly and waiting for Kye with her, Lucy wining quietly. Addison nods, going over to the couch next to the one Jaidan was on and very carefully laying her across it. "He's going to help you.." Celeste nods a bit weakly, her right wrist still resting on her chest and her breathing was quiet as it hurt too much to breath normally.. "O-Okay.." Addison glances at Vincent. "Mm.. What are you gunna do..?" Kye nuzzles him. "All demons do..." Vincent goes up to her. "Make temporary bone fragments with sturdy enough ice to seal them. Do you know what's broken?" Levi sighs shakily, hugging him tightly. "M-M-Mmf.. I-I know.." He sighs shakily. "C-Can I just freeze the door and we C-Can come b-back l-later..?" Celeste sighs shakily. "M-My R-Right wrist.. A-and.. M-Maybe s-some ribs.. A-And my f-face R-Really hurts.." Vincent nods, feeling her wrist, and grabbing it firmly, and freezing it, so it was numb with cold, though since she was an ice type, this didn't bother her. Kye nods. "Sure.." Celeste sniffles, letting him do this, staring at her wrist. "M-M-Mmf.." Addison rubs her head softly, brushing her hair out of her face and sighing shakily. "Thank you, Vincent.." Jaidan was staring at them with pained eyes, tears in his eyes as he watched Celeste. Levi nods, leaving the bathroom with Kye and shutting the door once they got out, freezing it completely and sighing shakily. "M-Mmf.. Where's Jake..?" Vincent says nothing, very concentrated, as one by one he froze the areas and created from the inside a hard enough bit of ice to serve as a temporary bone piece. Kye thinks. "Mm.. our room, I think.." Celeste sighs shakily, glancing over at Jaidan before quickly looking away again, mumbling to herself quietly. Jaidan sighs shakily. "M-Mmf.. Don't be mad at me, sweetheart.." Levi nods a bit, heading to their room, going in and quickly grabbing clothes and putting them on. Jake was snuggled up with Emma on the floor and Jordan and Lucy were curled up together on the bed. Levi goes over to Jake and Emma, looking to Emma. "Can me and daddy lay with him..?" Emma nods a bit, getting up and moving a few feet away from them. Levi lays next to Jake, snuggling up to him, looking to Kye for him to join. Kye does so, though glances at Jordan. Jordan was staring at the wall with Lucy wrapped tightly in a blanket, holding her close to her chest. Levi snuggles up in between them, sighing shakily and resting his head on Jake's chest. Jake rubs his head softly. Emma sighs shakily. "Someone's here by the way.. I heard the front door open.." Once Vincent was done, Celeste sighs shakily, smiling a bit weakly. "Th-Thank you.." Addison sighs shakily. "Is that everything you can do, hun?" Kye furrows his brow. "What..? Who..?" Vincent nods. "For now." Addison nods. "Thank you.." Celeste sniffles, digging her face into the couch cushion. Addison scoops Celeste up, holding her close and glancing at Jaidan. "I'll be back in a bit." She walks out the front door with Celeste. Once they were out Celeste grabs her walkie talkie, speaking into it. "Wh-Where a-are you, daddy..?" Jaidan was shaking a bit, staring at the ground with wide eyes, tears running down his cheeks. Emma shrugs. "A guy and a girl. The girl sounded hurt." Jake nuzzles Levi, raising an eyebrow at Emma. Zarron doesn't answer for several minutes, before he responds with a quiet, "Not sure. I'm exploring." Kye frowns deeply. "Will you okay if I go check it out..?" Emma nods. "Sure." Levi nods a bit slowly. "Mmhm.. Just come back.." Jake sighs, holding Levi closely. Celeste frowns deeply. Addison takes the walkie talkie and speaks into it. "Describe where you are." Kye sighs, nodding and heading out to investigate, staying low. Zarron speaks again, "By a bathroom, I think. And stairs." Jaidan gets up, going over to him and hugging him tightly, crying harshly into his chest, looking extremely guilty. Addison sighs. "Alright. I'll go back inside with her for now. We'll check in, in a bit." Celeste takes the walkie talkie back, hooking it to her pants again. Addison goes back inside with Celeste, heading towards her bedroom, seeing Kye and smiling. "Hey, hun." Celeste sees Kye and her eyes widen, freezing. Vincent grunts a little, sighing. Kye, seeing Celeste, bristles, his eyes widening as well, and he too goes still. Addison frowns a bit, looking confused. "What's wrong?" Celeste slowly reaches for her walkie talkie. "N-No.. Jaidan cries harder. "Sh-Sh-She shouldn't.. B-Be h-h-here.." Celeste grabs her walkie talkie, speaking into it in a very quiet, shaky voice. "D-Daddy.. H-He's.. H-H-Here.." Addison frowns deeply, extremely confused. Jaidan cries even harder. "W-W-We l-left her.. Sh-She.. I-I left h-h-her.." Zarron looks confused, speaking, "Who?" Kye hides under the nearest bedroom's bed he could find, whimpering, feeling really guilty and not ever wanting to come out. Vincent tilts his head. "You left her..? Who is she...?" Jaidan looked horrified. "K-K-Kye's d-daughter.." Addison sighs, following Kye and setting Celeste on the bed, getting on the ground and looking at him. "Hey.." Celeste looked and sounded panicked, not wanting to be close to him. "K-K-Kye.. H-He's.. H-Here.." Zarron does silent, clenching his jaw and huffing. Kye wines loudly, his ears pressed against his head, and his eyes full of guilt. Vincent raises both eyebrows. "That was- what?!"
Jaidan grips onto him tightly, digging his face into his chest. "M-M-Mmf.. I-I left h-h-her.." Addison reaches his hand over to him and rubbing his head softly. "What's wrong, sweetheart..?" Celeste cries into the walkie talkie. "I-I'm s-scared..." Zarron whispers, "It's okay, Hun." Kye, hearing Celeste's cries tears up, clawing at his ears as he didn't want to hear it, hating this. Vincent frowns deeper, sighing. "Right.." Jaidan climbs into Vincent's arms, snuggling up to him and digging his face into his chest, continuing to cry. "M-M-Mmf.. Wh-Why I-Is she H-Here..?" Addison pulls Kye from under the bed, hugging him tightly and whispering to him. "Sweetheart.. Tell me what's going on.." Celeste sniffles. "M-Mmf.. Wh-Where a-a-are you..? Wh-What.. Wh-Wh-What I-If he h-hurts m-me..?" Vincent thinks. "I don't know.." Kye was staring at Celeste, his eyes pained. "C..Celeste.." Zarron doesn't respond.Celeste glances over at Kye, tears streaming down her cheeks, clutching onto her walkie talkie tightly. "M-M-Mmf.." Addison frowns deeper. "Mmf.. Why are you two so upset..?" Jaidan sniffles a few times. "M-Mmf.." He tries to take his mind off of her, Remembering a question he has earlier. "Wh-Why don't you L-Like Max...?" Kye sighs shakily, murmuring. "She.. she's my daughter.." Vincent looks off. "Jaidan, I don't like a lot of people."Jaidan sniffles. "M-Mmf.. B-But.. H-He's my best f-friend.. I-I know there's another r-reason.." Addison's eyes widen. "O-Oh.." Celeste wines loudly. "D-Don't.. H-Hurt m-m-me.." Addison frowns deeper, debating whether or not she should leave and let them talk. Kye looks desperately to Celeste. "Why.. Why would I h-hurt you..?" Vincent clearly looked as if he was hiding it. "I just... Mmf..." Celeste wines louder. "M-M-Mmf.. I-I want D-Daddy.." She covers her face so he couldn't see the bruises and cuts. Addison sighs shakily, getting up and leaving the room, shutting the door behind her. Jaidan nuzzles him softly. "M-Mmf.. Y-You can trust m-me.. W-We trust e-each o-other.." Kye looked horrified, quickly darting to the door and scratching at it. Vincent looked sadly at the ground. "He just... reminded me of someone.." Celeste looked suddenly extremely hurt when he does this, feeling like he hated her. "M-M-Mmf.. Y-Y-You l-left m-m-me.. A-And.. N-Now Y-You won't e-even T-Talk to m-me.." Addison had already walked off. Jaidan sniffles. "Wh-Who..?" Kye wines louder, looking back to her, as if his whole world had crumbled at his feet. "I-I-I didn't m-m-mean th-that l-like th-that.." Vincent lets out a long sigh. "My partner.." Jaidan tilts his head a bit. "Who were Th-They..? Wh-Where a-are they..?" Celeste sniffles, uncovering her face so he could see it, staring into his eyes. "M-M-Mmf.. I-I-I g-got h-hurt.. A-A-And.. D-D-Daddy t-took m-me here.. A-And then Y-Your daddy.. Th-The mean o-one.. He f-fixed my b-bones.." Vincent laughs coldly. "Dead." Kye looks momentarily confused. "W-Wait... Z...Zarron's.. here...?" Celeste nods a bit shakily. "Mmhm.. H-He's exploring.. W-Watch.." She grabs her walkie talkie, speaking into it. "D-Daddy..?" Jaidan frowns deeply. "O-Oh.. What was their name..?" Vincent murmurs, "Henry.." Zarron speaks through, "Yes?" Kye frowns deeply. Celeste sighs shakily, glancing at Kye. "I'm w-with him.. W-We're in a bedroom.. C-Can you come..?" Jaidan frowns deeper. "O-Oh.. H-Him.. Mmf.." He hugs Vincent tighter, trying to be comforting. "Was H-He really s-sweet L-Like Max..?"
Zarron pauses. "Sure... where is it exactly?" Vincent laughs awkwardly. "I guess.." Celeste sniffles, describing where they were. "Hurry u-up.. P-Please.." Jaidan sighs shakily. "M-Mmf.. I wish I could've m-met him.." Zarron sighs. "I will." He heads there quickly. Vincent looks back to him. "Well.. you sorta did.."
Jaidan sniffles, shaking his head a bit. "I m-meant as m-me.." he pauses. "Did H-He think you were c-crazy..?" Celeste stares at the door as she waits, sitting herself up carefully, sniffling, hooking her walkie talkie back onto her pants. "He's coming.." Vincent made an awkward face. "Well.. aha... I didn't give him much of a reason to think otherwise.." Kye sighs shakily, moving away from the door and waiting. After several minutes, as Zarron found his way, a quiet knock on the door could be heard. Celeste gets up carefully, putting her good hand to her ribs just in case, slowly walking over and opening the door quietly, sniffling and quickly jumping into his arms. "M-M-Mmf.. H-He's I-In here, t-too.." she looks over to Kye, very nervous around him. Jaidan sighs shakily. "Mmf.. I-I don't think your other f-friends liked me, S-So he probably W-Wouldn't have liked me e-either.." Zarron grunts as he holds her, looking to Kye who had once again assumed position under t bed, but this time so his head stuck out. "Hey." Vincent thought for a moment on this. "He was.. a very... fair man.. I doubt he wouldn't have at least given you a chance.." Jaidan sniffles and nods a bit. "M-Maybe.." Addison walks into the living room where they were, scoffing at Jaidan and looking to Vincent. "When can I have my phone back?" Celeste snuggles up to Zarron, staring at Kye. "H-He says he won't h-hurt me.. C-Can I trust h-him..?" She whispers this quietly. Zarron shrugs. "Yeah, I mean, he won't. So." Kye just stayed there, staring. Vincent looks over at her. "Give it a week. If you don't ask for it or complain about it at all during said week, you'll have it by the end of it."
Addison huffs, plopping down next to them on the couch, staring at the ground. "I'm boredddd.. What can I doooo..?" Jaidan glares at her, snuggling up closer to Vincent, clearly still scared of her but also hating how much everyone was bothered with Vincent's rules, seeing no problems with them at all, thinking it a better chance to spend more time with Vincent. He murmurs quietly. "..It's not that bad..." Addison growls at him. Celeste sniffles and nods a bit, carefully getting out of his arms and slowly going over to the bed, getting on the ground near Kye and staring at him, moving her shaking hand towards him. "M-Mmf.. Wh-What do I call Y-You..?" Vincent notices their tension, and proposes an option. "If you can both compromise on something you can do together, I'll let you use your phone for that task. Kye looked sad. "I'm your father..." Celeste sniffles, glancing at Zarron. "M-Mmf.. B-But I have to call him daddy N-Now.. Th-That's what I've called him S-Since you guys l-left.." Addison's eyes widen and she nods rapidly. Jaidan frowns a bit, gripping onto Vincent tightly, whispering very very quickly into his esr. "Sh-she'll hit m-me again.." Vincent shakes his head. "No, Jaidan. She won't." He looks to Addison. "What happened since you were the one who convinced me to take Jaidan back in?" Tears immediately come to Kye's eyes, and he wines loudly, tucking himself fully under the bed. Zarron lets out a long sigh. Addison huffs. "He's just stupid. He literally didn't even finish MIDDLE school. And he's annoying. And boring. He just cries all the time." Jaidan looked extremely hurt by this, wishing she'd understand why he didn't finish school and why he was always upset, tears coming to his eyes. Celeste frowns deeply, laying on the ground and reaching her hand to him, putting it on his head carefully and rubbing it softly. "M-Mmf.. I can call Y-You something s-similar.." Vincent quickly gets up. "Well. I have work to do. Cooperate and find out something to do and come find me in my office to get your phone when you've come up with something." He heads off. Kye says nothing, but his eyes went slightly more hopeful. Celeste thinks deeply. "What do y-you want me to c-call you..?" Jaidan looked terrified, quickly moving away from Addison, wining loudly. Addison stares at him, crossing her arms. "Can you do digital art? I want my phone." Jaidan continues to wine, nodding very slightly. Addison nods. "Good, good. Now figure something out you can draw and then we can get our phones." Jaidan nods a bit, staring at the ground as he thought. Kye murmurs, "I just want you to be my daughter again..." Vincent heads to his office, and grabs a bunch of paper and a pen, sitting at his desk and beginning to write. After a bit, Jaidan knocks on Vincent's office door, opening it slowly, Addison right behind him, Jaidan looking like he had been crying, but keeping his head down, him shaking violently, wearing his hoodie again. Celeste glances at Zarron and shakes her head a bit. "I have t-to stay with daddy.." Emma opens the door to the bedroom they were in, shutting it behind her and running over to Kye and Celeste, sliding under the bed with Kye and growling loudly at Celeste and Zarron, getting in front of Kye's face. Celeste sniffles, hurt by seeing Emma but putting a small smile on her face, seeing she was a Kitsune as well. "A little fox.." Vincent narrows his eyes as he sees Jaidan looking like this. "What did you two come up with?" Zarron frowns, watching them. Kye then just sinks further under the bed, hiding his face with his paws, hating himself for all he'd done. "Emma, stop.." Jaidan holds a hand to his own throat, sniffling and keeping his eyes on the ground, fighting back tears. Addison smiles at Vincent, going over to him and sitting in his lap. "We're gunna do digital art." Emma looks to Kye, tilting her head and quickly snuggling up close to his belly, digging her snout under him and muttering. "Just making sure they're safe.." Celeste giggles a little at Emma. "She's a cute little fox.. I was a little fox one time.." She reaches her hand towards Emma to let her but Emma wines and quickly barks at her to stop. Celeste looks confused and quickly takes her hand away. Vincent raises an eyebrow. "Both of you?" Kye growls at Emma. "Emma, STOP." Jaidan doesn't respond, clutching his eyes shut. Addison nods. "Yep! He's gunna teach me." Emma huffs, curling up into a tight ball snuggled up to Kye. Celeste moves her hand back over to her, scratching her belly. "I know belly rubs feel good so here.." Emma's eyes widen and she kicks her leg rapidly, this feeling amazing and she laughs. "I l-l..i.. ..er..," Vincent clicks his tongue, reaching under his desk and pulling out one phone. "I'll watch." Kye gets the after effects on this, letting himself flop against the ground. Addison looked a little disappointed but nods. "Alright." She takes the phone quickly and moves onto the floor a few feet from Vincent. Jaidan gulps and wines a bit as this seemed to hurt him, keeping his neck covered and slowly going over to Addison, sitting next to her, tears starting to fall silently from his eyes. Celeste stops after a moment, giggling and tilting her head at Kye. "I didn't even give you one.. Why are you like that..?" Emma was breathing heavily, her eyes wide and she looked extremely happy, digging her snout under Kye. Vincent looks suspicious. "what did you do to him?" Kye shifts a little, not quite able to formulate words, just letting out a garble. Celeste looked extremely confused, but keeps a smile on her face. "Is Levi here..? I miss him.." Addison glances at Jaidan, rolling her eyes. "I didn't do anything. Wha'do you mean?" She pulls up a drawing app. Jaidan closes his eyes tightly, sniffling and continuing to shake, looking like everything around him just collapsed in front of him. Kye nods silently. Vincent looks to Jaidan. "Jaidan. What did she do?" Emma gets up after a moment, giggling still. "I.. can get him.." Celeste nods rapidly. Emma nods back slowly, going to the door and running into it, staring at it like it was crazy, narrowing her eyes and scratching at it, looking to Zarron. Jaidan hesitates. Addison glares at him, growling under her breath. "Don't. You. Dare." Jaidan quickly covers his face with his Hood, going silent, clearly terrified of Addison.
Zarron opens it for her. Vincent gets up, picking Jaidan up by his arms until he was on his feet, and takes him outside, slamming the door behind him. "What did she do?" Jaidan starts to cry harshly, shaking even more and carefully taking off his hoodie which he didn't have a shirt on under. His neck had finger marks where he looked like he had been strangled. The spots from the belt looked much worse than before and there were spots on him that looked like he had been burned by something, he quickly covers his neck, looking absolutely terrified. There were also several spots where he had been bitten on his arms. Addison huffs. Emma runs out, going to Kye's room and nudging Levi who was still snuggled with Jake. Levi groans quietly and looks to her. "Hm..?" Emma grabs onto his shirt with her teeth, trying to drag him towards the door. Levi huffs a bit, getting up. Emma bolts back to the bedroom. Levi follows, rubbing his eyes and going in. Celeste sees Levi and quickly runs to him, picking him up in a tight hug, holding onto him as tight as she could. Levi looked shocked, gripping onto her tightly, digging his face into her chest, looking to Kye, very confused. "Wh.." Vincent frowns deeply, murmuring, "Damn it..." he holds his hand out to tell him to stay, and goes back inside. "I'm extending the ban to 2 weeks. Now it is a punishment. Hurt him again, 3 weeks." Kye gave them a sad look. Zarron sat on the bed. Celeste carries Levi over to where Zarron was sitting, sitting next to him and keeping a grip on Levi, whispering to him. "You're so big now.." Levi nuzzles her. "You are too... But.. Why are you here..?" He glances at Zarron, frowning a bit at him. Celeste giggles a bit, leaning against Zarron. "I told the little fox to go get you so I could see you.. I was here because I was hurt and daddy took me here to help me.." Levi sighs shakily, digging his face into her chest, muttering. "Emma's my little sister.. So is Lucy.." Jaidan stays where he was but falls to his knees, continuing to let tears silently fall from his cheeks, it hard to talk or make any noises in the first place. Addison growls. "I've still got some of MY money! I'll just buy a phone with that!!" Vincent raises an eyebrow. "I wasn't aware you had money you didn't just steal from me." Kye goes out the other side of the bed, hopping onto it from behind. Emma quickly follows Kye, snuggling up to him. Celeste nods a bit, nuzzling him and sighing shakily. "I've really really missed you.." Levi sighs shakily, staring at the ground and muttering quietly. "..I see you a lot..." Celeste looks extremely confused by this, looking to Zarron and Kye to see if they knew what he meant. Addison growls louder, gripping tightly onto the phone in her hand. "I DO have my own money!!" Kye did, and he frowns deeply, but says nothing. Vincent scoffs. "Fine. Show me." Addison nods, getting up and setting down the phone she had. Before Addison could get out of the room, Jaidan suddenly collapses to his side, grabbing at his chest frantically and gasping for air desperately. Addison chuckles, smirking and gesturing to him, staring at him. "You're welcome." She steps over him and goes to walk off. Celeste notices this. "What does he mean..?" Levi presses his face into her chest. Vincent bristles, quickly kneeling down to him and observing him, trying to see exactly what was wrong and how to help. Kye sighs shakily. "It's not something that needs to be brought up right now.." Jaidan grabs onto Vincent's hand tightly, looking beyond absolutely terrified, looking horrified and pointing to his chest, crying harshly and pressing his face into Vincent's thigh, his voice coming out high pitched, and broken. "..H-H..ear..t.." Addison walks away. Celeste frowns a bit. "Mmf.. Okay.." She looks back down at Levi, rubbing his head softly and kissing his cheek. "Wha'do you wanna do..?" Levi thinks deeply about this, sniffling a bit. "Um.. I just draw and listen to music normally.. But.. None of us have our phones, so.. No music for now.." Celeste sighs, gesturing to her walkie talkie and then Zarrons. "I don't have a phone.. I've got a walkie talkie so I can talk to daddy and anyone who has one in the building. I can use daddy's phone for games though!" Levi smiles a little at her, just enjoying being with the real her, holding onto her tightly. "That's cool.." He glances off towards the floor, stiffening a bit but quickly looking back to Celeste and Remembering he was with her and that it would be okay, relaxing a bit and sighing shakily. "We could draw...?" Celeste nods a bit, looking to Zarron. "We need paper.. And a pencil.." Levi didn't protest on this, not wanting to get his own as he didn't want to leave her. Celeste looks back towards Kye, noticing this look and quickly moves in between them with Levi, mumbling. "No hurting each other.. We need paper and pencils.." Emma just stayed snuggled up to Kye. Levi frowns a bit, putting his Hood up and snuggling up to Celeste. Jaidan claws at Vincent's pants, the pain shooting through his body feeling awful and he looked scared out of his mind, struggling greatly to even get a single breath in, sweating profusely. Kye frowns deeply, huffing, grumbling and hopping off the bed and quickly going to grab some, coming back when he had them. Zarron watches him silently. Vincent quickly grabs the blood thinners he needed, looking to Jaidan in question, seeing if he needed help with them. Celeste takes them from him, setting them down on the bed. Levi moves out of Celeste's lap, grabbing a piece of paper and a pencil, quickly starting to draw, extremely focused on the paper. Celeste grabs a piece of paper and a pencil as well, moving into Zarrons lap and looking up at him. "Can I draw you, daddy?" Jaidan opens his mouth very slightly as if telling him he could do whatever he needed to, continuing to cry, his neck causing even more pain alone with the rest of his injuries, clearly trying to speak. Kye looked annoyed as Celeste gets in his lap. Zarron tilts his head. "Sure." Kye huffs, jumping at Zarron, and he yelps, quickly getting Celeste safely out of his lap. Vincent lets out a long sigh, dropping the pain thinners into his mouth. Jaidan swallows, looking more horrified as he did, quickly moving a hand to his throat, pressing his face into Vincent's thigh, waiting for them to kick in. After a bit he still looked like he was struggling to breath but looked much better overall, keeping his hand around his throat, glancing up at Vincent and frowning deeply. Celeste's eyes widen and she quickly and frantically uses her magic, hitting Kye with her ice magic on the leg. "GET OFF HIM!!" Levi glances up at them, seeming to not really care. Vincent rubs his back as they waited. Kye yelps, his eyes widening in pain. Zarron, seeing this, quickly goes into his dragon form, breathing a concentration of fire against Kye's leg to melt the residue and sooth the pain, which Kye looked grateful for. Zarron then snatched him by the scruff, flinging him into the air, and Kye quickly snags his claws under Zarron's scales by his shoulders to hang on. Zarron roars at him, and stops flapping his wings, falling hard onto the ground and crushing Kye beneath him. However, Kye very quickly clung his bottom paw's claws into Zarron's back and let go from one side so he was able to dodge the crush as he flung to the side. Celeste wines loudly, looking extremely confused. Both of them then just laid there on the ground, panting, before they both burst out laughing. Celeste just looked more confused, quickly moving over to Zarron and hugging him tightly. "Wh-What?!" She looked like she was about to cry. Emma was wining from the pain in her leg, curled up into a tight ball. Levi just continued drawing, paying no attention to them. Jaidan grabs Vincent's hand and replaces his own with his on his neck, holding it there and looking up at him desperately, whimpering, it very clear he was struggling greatly to breath, trying to stop himself from crying as it made the pain worse and made it much harder to breath than it already was. Zarron's laughing trails off as he sees her expression. "Hun, what's wrong..?" Vincent frowns deeply, heating that hand a bit, hoping it might sooth him at least a little. "Hey.. it's okay... I'm going to help you.. it's going to be okay.." Jaidan nods a bit shakily and slowly, staying as still as he could besides the shaking, his head resting on Vincent's thigh, sniffling, relaxing a bit as he knew he'd be okay with Vincent. "..M-M-Mmf.. ..H-H..urt.." Addison was staring at them with a deep smirk on her face from around the corner in the hallway with a hand mirror, her hand and the mirror able to be seen by Vincent and Jaidan, Jaidan seeing this and immediately going back to looking absolutely terrified, whimpering louder. Celeste grips onto him tighter. "M-Mmf.. I-I thought H-He was hurting Y-You..." Vincent sees this and glares at her, slamming the door shut with his magic. Zarron frowns. "I'm sorry, Hun... thats just a part of how we interact.."Celeste digs her face into his chest, nuzzling him softly and sniffling. "I-It's okay.. M-Mmf.. I-I just D-Don't want you to get h-hurt, too.." Emma was still wining and looks to Kye. "It hurtsssss.. She made my leg hurttttt.." Jaidan jumps a bit as he does this. He was noticably clutching something that was in his pants pocket, and he pulls it out, holding it close to his chest and keeping it covered from Vincent, starting to shake more as he did this, him clearly holding back more tears. "..Sh-..She.. ..R..Rip.. P-Plu..Sh..Trap.." Kye frowns. "Mm.. you'll be okay.." Zarron rubs her back. "I know.." Vincent looks surprised. "What..?" He tries to see what he was holding. Jaidan let's him. Plushtraps head had been almost completely torn off and one of the legs was torn. Jaidan stares at it, sniffling. "..M-M-Mmf.. ..Sh..e..R..ipped..H-Hi..m.." Celeste sighs shakily, nuzzling him again, glancing at Kye. "I didn't m-mean to hurt Y-You.." Emma sighs shakily, letting her head flop down against a pillow. "Mmf.."
Vincent's eyes widen, and even he looked extremely upset. Kye stares at her for a few moments before murmuring, "it's alright.." Jaidan bursts into tears, immediately regretting this and slamming his face down into Vincent's thigh, looking horrified from the pain from his throat, digging his nails into Vincent's hand that was around his throat on instinct. Celeste sighs shakily, laying on top of Zarron and snuggling up to him, speaking extremely quietly. "Can.. C-Can I snuggle with b-both of you..? Just.. J-Just for a few minutes..?" Emma glares at Celeste, getting up and going over to where Kye was, snuggling up to his belly, covering herself with her tails.
Vincent sighs shakily, just watching him, looking absolutely distraught, tears coming to his eyes. Zarron nods. "Sure.."
Jaidan eventually stops himself from crying anymore, sniffling and staring at Plushtrap, gripping onto it tightly with his hand that wasn't over Vincent's. "..I-I...H-..ate....H..er...." Celeste nods a bit, sliding off of him and moving in between Kye, Emma, and Zarron, curling up and gesturing for all of them to come closer to him, sniffling and looking extremely conflicted. Emma looks up at Kye to see if he was going to move. "Mmf.." Vincent shakily gets up, saying nothing, but looked pale. Kye does, and so does Zarron, but less. Jaidan looks terrified as he gets up, the pain from his neck fully coming back and he gags, knowing he was too weak to get up himself, putting plushtrap back into his pocket and reaching his hand up to him, tears silently running down his cheeks. "..D-Do..nt....L-L..eave.. ..M-Me.." Celeste tries to pull Zarron closer to her, sniffling. Emma sprawls herself out over Kye's body, letting her tails fall in his face, giggling a bit at this and hitting him with them a few times, thinking to him. Am I allowed to play with the other guyyy?? Vincent sighs shakily. "I need to talk to her.." Kye grunts, not thinking to her but moving her off of him. Vincent sighs shakily. "I need to talk to her.." Kye grunts, not thinking to her but moving her off of him. Jaidan frowns deeper, sniffling a few times. "..M-Mmf.. ..T-Ta..ke.. ..M-M..e.. ..T..o.. Kar..ma.. J-Ju..st...U-Until.... Y-Yo..u're.. ..D-Done.." Emma rolls her eyes at Kye and goes over to Zarron, licking his face once and staring at him with a tilted head. "Who are you anyway?" She sniffs him. Vincent sighs, quickly picking him up and taking him to Karma's room. Zarron shields his face. "I'm your dad's brother." He smelled like soot and alcohol. Jaidan snuggles up to Karma, laying his head on his chest and making sure to keep the blanket over karma as he didn't know if he had gotten better yet, sniffling and glancing at Vincent. "..C..ome....B..Back....A-Af..ter.." Emma thinks for a moment before getting on top of his chest, and staring down at him, examining him closely. "Hm.. Kitsunes are better. Like daddy, me, Lucy, and your daughter." She gestures to Celeste with her snout. "And Incubi are pretty cool cuz that's what Jakey is." Vincent nods, and quickly leaves, heading back to his office to find Addison, going in and looking for her. Zarron rolls his eyes. "Mm. I prefer dragons. They're cooler." Addison was in their bedroom on the bed, staring up at the ceiling, looking deep in thought. Jaidan looks at Karma, moving Karma's hand to his neck, keeping it there and sighing shakily, even just having the comfort of him being with him helping, figuring he probably was too weak to use his magic but thinking it better to try at least, sniffling. "..M-Mmf.. ..M-My....N..Neck....M-M..Ag..ic..?.." Emma giggles a bit. "Okayyyy. Whatever you sayyyy." She plops down on top of his chest, staring at him and swiping her tails over his face, putting the thought in his head. I'm better than you though. She smiles innocently at him afterwards. Celeste sighs shakily, sniffling and staring at the ground. Vincent sighs shakily, going into the bedroom and looking to her. "Addison.. we need to talk.." Karma frowns a little, trying, but it was weak. Zarron huffs, moving them away. Jaidan sniffles, letting his head rest on his chest, reaching over to the night stand and grabbing a piece of paper and a pencil, writing on it. "My mom did this to me. That's where the marks all over me are from too. She also made me have another heart attack and crushed my neck. Daddy was there to help me but she also ripped plushtrap." As he wrote this last part, tears came to his eyes again and he holds the paper so karma could read it. Addison glances at him, scoffing. "What? I did what I did to him on purpose. I'm not apologizing for any of it. I Coulda killed him if I wanted to, you know. But I didn't. So be thankful." Emma rolls her eyes at him, moving her tails away from him and moving closer to his face, seeming to try a different approach, rubbing her ears against his cheek gently, nuzzling him. "Have you ever met mommy? She's other daddy's husband." Karma reads it, looking horrified. Vincent sighs shakily. "Addison.. I.. I just wanted to talk about the plush..." Zarron raises an eyebrow. "What?" Addison chuckles a bit. "What about it? It's trash." Jaidan sniffles, writing again. "She almost completely ripped his head off and tore the leg. Look." He pulls it out, showing it to him, sniffling and writing. "Maybe daddy can fix it." Emma sighs, shaking her head a bit. "Mommy is Addison. Daddy is Kye. Other daddy is Vincent. Vincent and Mommy are married. Mommy and Kye are my parents. Jakey and daddy are together and before Jakey came back Jordan and daddy were together. Does that make sense?" Vincent looks extremely hurt. "Oh.." Karma frowns deeply. "It's.. it's sown.. he cant.." Zarron looked bewildered. "Uh... okay then.." Jaidan looked extremely upset as he remembers this but then looked a bit more hopeful, writing. "Can you sew? Maybe you could fix it. We can just keep the needles away from daddy." Addison stares at him. "Why are you so affected by this? It's not yours. Plus it's like ancient at this point." Emma sighs, realizing it sounded confusing and nuzzling him again. "You're warm. I like that." She looks over towards where Levi was as he let out a small whimper, curled up on the bed with his pencil clutched tightly in his hand. Emma frowns feet, quickly getting off of Zarron and running over to the bed, hopping up onto it and moving over to Levi, licking his face a few times and nuzzling him. "You're okay.." Levi holds onto her tightly, clearly trying to be quiet as Zarron and Celeste were there, not liking others seeing him like this, tears forming in his eyes. Emma covers his face with her tails, nuzzling him and whispering. "Shh.. It's okay, bubba.." She looks over towards Zarron. "Can you handle needles? This'll be faster with the shot. You can get one out of our bedroom in the desk drawers with daddy's cigarettes and stuff." Karma shakes his head. "I never learned.. I'm sorry..." Vincent's eyes were glassy, and he looked devastated. He murmurs, as quiet as a mouse, "I made it..." Zarron furrows his brow. "Uh, yeah. Where's the bedroom?"
Jaidan went back to looked devastated, sniffling and writing. "Oh. Maybe someone else can fix it then." Addison's eyes widen and she goes silent, knowing that this would've involved needles, looking extremely guilty and trying to form words but was too shocked to think of anything that would be appropriate to say and just lets out a quiet. "..I'm so sorry.." Emma thinks. "Down the hall and it's the second to last door on the right hand side." Levi had his arms wrapped around Emma, holding onto her tightly and pressing his face into her neck fluff, crying harshly and muffling it with her neck. Emma cools her body to soothe him as he was an ice element, whispering to him soothingly. "You're okay.. I promise.. We're going to help you.. Calm down.." Levi couldn't hear Emma or see, his vision extremely blurry and a loud ringing in his ears, him jerking his head around as if looking for something, breathing heavily. Vincent sighs shakily, looking off as a tear dripped down his cheek. Karma shrugs. "Yeah.." Zarron nods, and heads there, looking in the drawers for what she described. There was a stack of injections in one of the drawers along with some of Kye's things. Jordan was asleep along with Lucy on the bed. Jake was sitting in the corner of the room and sees Zarron, his eyes widening and he stares at him. "What the hell are you doing here?!" Emma licks Levi's cheek softly. "Look at me and listen to me and me only, bubba. You're okay. None of it's real. Okay? Look at me." Levi looks in her general direction, screaming and quickly shoving her off, falling off the bed and hitting his head on the way down, not caring and just frantically scootching away and towards a corner, looking absolutely horrified. Addison quickly gets up, going over to him and hugging him as tight as she could, looking even more guilty. "I-I swear I didn't know.. I-I just thought you bough I-It for him.. I-Im so so sorry.. I-I can sew it.. I-I'm so sorry.." She continues to apologize. Jaidan nods very slightly, flipping the paper over and writing. "Your mom is much better than mine. Even if she's a cop, it's better than being tortured." He writes the next part in all caps. "SHE RIPPED PLUSHTRAP!!" Zarron raises an eyebrow as he opened the drawer, before looking to Jake. "Wha'do you mean?" Vincent gulps. "Y...You would...?" Karma frowns deeply. "Mmf..."
Addison nods a bit silently. "Mmhm.. I-I really didn't know Y-You made it.. I-I just.. M-Mmf.. I didn't mean to hurt Y-You.." Jaidan sighs shakily, setting the paper and pencil down, putting a hand over karma's hand that was on his neck, putting his other hand to Karma's head, running his fingers through his hair gently and muttering extremely quietly. "..M-Mmf....L-L..ove....Y-..ou.." Jake gets up quickly, going over to where he was and looking inside the drawer he had opened. "I said what the hell are you doing here?! And why are you going through Kye's stuff?!" Vincent sighs shakily. "I know.." karma smiles a little. "I love you too.." Zarron sighs. "I'm looking for these, for Levi." He scoops out one of the syringes. In the rest of the drawer, there were several pill bottles for his prescribed medicine, and then a selection of rather suspicious bags, namely one recognisable one filled with white powder, and another recognisable few filled with what looked like dried leaves. There were some others of different variety, and above all there were a plethora of cigarette packs, and a lighter in the back of the drawer. Jaidan nuzzles him very very weakly, wincing a bit and going still again, moving his hand down to Karma's cheek and letting it rest there, rubbing it softly with his thumb, closing his eyes and sighing shakily. "..It...H..Hur..ts.." Addison sniffles. "If you go get it I can ask Kayla to let me use her stuff.." Jake's eyes widen as he sees what's in the drawers and his eyes instantly tear up, him looking overwhelmed with fear, anger and mostly sadness. "Wh.." Karma lets out a long sigh. "I know.. Dont think about it.." Vincent nods silently, and pulls away, hesitating, before quickly going to Karma's room to get it. Zarron furrows his brow. "What is it?" Jake gulps. "H-He.. H-He promised.. Th-The smoking.. Th-The drugs.. B-But.. H-He could've at least t-told m-me..?" Tears start to fall from Jake's eyes and he looked extremely upset, knowing some of this was caused by him dying. "I-I left him so quickly.. H-He.. M-Mmf.. I-I didn't mean.. Wh-Why..?" Addison sighs shakily, sniffling and sitting on the edge of the bed. Jaidan sniffles, trying to fall asleep but then hearing Vincent's footsteps, about to turn his head to look towards the door but decides it better not to as it would cause too much pain, just clutching onto Karma. Zarron frowns. "Oh.." Vincent opens the door, seeing them and stepping further in. "Jaidan, could I have the plush for a bit..?" Jake wipes his face, shutting the drawer and sniffling. "Take me with you to where they are. I need to talk to Kye while you help Levi." Jaidan flips his whole body over carefully to look at Vincent, making sure to keep karma's hand on his neck, clutching onto Plushtrap tightly and looking confused, writing on the paper. "Why? I don't want mom to get it and rip it again. She hurt him and that was really mean and now I hate her forever. There's no forgiving her for that." Zarron sighs and nods, heading back and going in. Kye was still laying on the ground. Vincent frowns deeply. "Please don't say that, Jaidan..." it was clear this did very much upset him. Jake followed and quickly goes over to Kye, glancing at Celeste and frowning deeply, quickly grabbing Kye and moving him to the corner of the room, getting on the ground with him and moving him into his lap, holding onto him tightly and continuing to let tears fall. "K-Kye.. Y-You know I love you, right..? I-I love you so much.. I'd do anything for you.. I'd give up everything for you.. I could be rich and famous and you could be the poorest person in the universe.. I'd drop everything to be with you.. I need you to know th-that.. Okay..? You're my special person.." He grips him tighter. "I-I want to hear it come f-from you.. What have you b-been doing with the s-stuff in that drawer..?" Levi was breathing in frantic gasps, his arms wrapped tightly around Emma and his wings out, them wrapped around himself as well as Emma, him crying harshly. Emma sees Zarron and looks relieved, muttering. "Finally.." She puts the thought in his head. Position it at the top of his arm and inject it as fast as you can and throw away the needle before he can see it. Thank you. Jaidan notices his hurt look and frowns deeper. "M-Mmf.." He writes on the paper. "I'm sorry. I'm just upset. Why do you want him?" Kye looked confused at first, but then, as he got to the last part he frowns deeply, looking away and murmuring, "I don't know what you're talking about.." Vincent lets out a shallow breath. "I'm going to fix him.." Zarron nods, stepping towards Levi and quickly doing as she had said. Levi screams at first but instantly calms down, his shaking stopping and his grip loosening on Emma. "M-Mmf.." Emma smiles warmly at Levi, nuzzling him softly. "You're okay.." She looks to Zarron. "Thank you." Jaidan looks confused, writing. "But what about" he pauses before writing the next part. "Needles?" Jake puts his hand under Kye's snout and makes him look at him. "Baby.. I l-love you so much.. I-I don't want secrets b-between us.." He sighs shakily. "I-I know I haven't been here for you in a very long t-time.. But.. I'm here now.. A-And.. I want to love on you and know that you're safe.. P-Please.. Wh-What have you been doing..?" Zarron nods. Vincent takes a deep breath, knowing he couldn't tell him that Addison was going to do it. "I made him in the first place.." Kye looked very sad, murmuring again, "it helps me focus.."
Jake wipes his face, trying to calm down, sniffling and holding him close. "H-Hunny.. You.. Please.. It's okay to use them every once in a while.. B-But.. H-How often do y-you use them..?" Levi glances over at Zarron, sniffling and muttering to him. "..I'm still mad at you for cutting me open.." Emma looks confused at this. Jaidan's eyes widen and he quickly goes to get up and hug him but decides he would just hurt himself doing that and just reached his arms out in his direction as if telling him to come over, sniffling. "..Y-Yo..u....N-..ever...T..ol..d..M..E..th....that..." Kye seemed to grumble, quickly tearing up and saying nothing as he clenched his jaw shut and wined. Zarron shakes his head. "Alright." Vincent slowly goes over, his eyes glassy, and elsewhere. "I know.." Jaidan quickly pulls him down into a hug, pulling him onto the bed so he was comfortable, but staying in a position where karma's hand could stay on his neck, crying softly and gripping onto him tightly. "..I-I...L-L..ove..Y..ou..d-..addy.." He grabs the paper and writes very quickly. "You're my best friend in the entire world. No matter what we've been through we'll always be best friends. I love you so much and I don't want that to ever change. I really really love you so much. And when I can talk correctly I'll make sure you hear it from me." Levi sniffles, glancing over towards where Celeste was and sighing shakily, setting Emma down and putting his wings back in, getting up and going over to her, smiling weakly. "Do you remember my favorite colors?" Celeste looks up at him and nods rapidly. "Of course I do! Blue and green, silly!" She giggles and gets up, picking him up. "Andddd. If I remember correctly you also like to ride on my back, yes?" Levi giggles and nods, liking being able to go back to the times when they were younger and things were better. "Mmhm!" Celeste nods, setting him down and struggling for a moment before turning into her fox form, sighing shakily. "Be careful though. My ribs and wrist are still hurting." Levi nods, very very carefully getting on her back and resting his head on her neck, smiling brightly, his hand wrapped around her and rubbing up and down her neck fluff. Celeste walks over to Zarron, smiling brightly as well. "He's super light and he's rubs my belly afterwards!" Emma stares at Levi and Celeste, feeling left out and glancing at Zarron, changing back to her normal form and curling up, sniffling and crying softly, trying to get Zarrons attention. Jake sighs shakily, nuzzling him softly. "B-Baby.. Y-You're so amazing.. I w-want to be here for you.. P-Please let me I-In.. I love you.." He keeps his hand under his snout but warms it, rubbing his gums softly. Vincent sighs, holding him close. Zarron notices Emma and looks to her. "What?" Kye gave him a sorry look, his ears folded down against the sides of his head. Jaidan sniffles, running his fingers through his hair gently, kissing his cheek softly and writing again. "You're the best father I could've asked for. Even with all the problems we have. I'd never trade you for anyone else." He writes and in really small letters. "Except maybe if I could have Brendon Urie as my dad." He smiles a little weakly at the last part, trying to make Vincent smile. Emma sniffles, reaching her arms towards him and putting the most innocent face on, continuing to cry softly. "M-Mmf.. I-I want to b-be held, t-too.. L-Levi's always the s-special one.." Jake continues to rub his gums. "H-Hunny.. K-Kye.. Y-You can trust m-me.. O-Okay..? I love you and I'll never purposely hurt you.. You're so special.. You're the best looking man I've ever laid my eyes on.. You're funny, sweet, you're always there for me.. I'd never trade you for anyone.. P-Please just answer my question.." Vincent chuckles softly. Zarron shakes his head and picks her up. Kye shakes his head silently. "Mmf... I can't..."Emma smiles a little, snuggling up to his chest and nuzzling him softly, holding onto his shirt tightly. "Th-Thank you.. What's y-your name..?" Jaidan smiles more as he sees this made him smile, writing again. "But maybe I'd take you over him. Depends. You're both pretty great." He glances around the room and sets down the paper and pencil, snuggling up closely to Vincent, carefully taking Karma's hand off his neck so he could do this, letting out a quiet groan and resting his head on Vincent's shoulder, sniffling and clutching his eyes shut, it clear he was only doing this to be closer to Vincent, sighing shakily and muttering quietly. "..D..o...Y..ou....wan..t..H-H..elp...?.." Jake sighs shakily, clearly struggling to keep himself together, this clearly affecting him deeply and he lays his head against his neck. "Th-Then.. Answer this.. Wh-When was the last time y-you used them..? B-Besides your prescribed stuff..?" Zarron smiles a bit. "Zarron." Vincent shakes his head. "No, it's okay.." Kye stares at the floor. "This morning.." Jake sighs shakily, holding him tighter. "M-Mmf.. H-How much did you use..? A-And let me see your e-eyes.." He moves his hand back to under his snout, looking into his eyes to see if he looked high. Emma nods a bit, nuzzling him again. "Okay.. Do I C-Call you uncle Zarron or J-Just Zarron..? Cuz karma is uncle Karma.. But J-Jaidan is just Jaidan.. A-And Warren is my age so H-He's just Warren.." She seemed to be looking at his bandana with curious eyes, moving up closer to his face and rubbing her ears on his cheek. Levi and Celeste seemed to have left the room at some point. Jaidan sniffles, nodding very slightly and wincing. "..M-Mmf....O-Ok..ay....C..ome...B-..ack....Ple..ase...soo..n.." Kye looked guilty, quickly trying to pull away, but before he was able to Jake was able to notice his pupils were much more dilated than usual. Zarron thought for a moment. "Mm.. what every you would prefer. I don't mind either way." Vincent nods, carefully taking the plush and pulling back. Jaidan sighs shakily, smiling a bit weakly at him and moving himself back over to Karma, pulling the covers over both of them up to their necks, sighing shakily and resting his head on Karma's shoulder, grabbing onto his shirt and holding onto it weakly, closing his eyes again. Addison was still sitting on the bed but tears were silently falling from her eyes, feeling extremely bad about ripping the plush. Jake sighs shakily, kissing his nose softly. "I'm going to help you, S-Sweetheart.. We'll get through this t-together.." Celeste walks into the room again with Levi in her arms, Levi holding something under his hoodie and keeping it hidden, then sitting a little ways away from Kye and Jake to let them talk, a bright smile on his face, him looking beyond extremely happy, curled up in Celeste's lap, her arms wrapped around him tightly. Jake glances at her and frowns a bit, quickly looking back to Kye. Emma nods a bit. "Then I'm calling Y-You Zarron.." She slips three fingers under his bandana, gripping onto it tightly as she figured he was going to try to pull away, muttering. "Don't try to stop me.." She very carefully and slowly lifts it up slightly so only she could see under it. Vincent goes back to the room, going in and over to her. "I got it.." Kye wines quietly. Zarron tenses, quickly shutting his eye and gripping her wrist tightly. "LET. GO." Emma huffs, frowning deeply and not letting go but lowering it again. "I'm not going to tell anyone what's under it. I can keep secrets. I may be three but I'm smarter than Daddy and Jakey combined. Just let me see." Jake sighs shakily, nuzzling him softly. "We can talk more later.." He looks over to Levi and Celeste. Levi sees him looking over and gets up quickly, going over to them and giggling happily. "I made something for Jake!! It's really really cool!!" Jake smiles a bit at him, glancing at Kye. Levi takes the object from under his hoodie, it being a metal hand that could attach to Jake's arm. He giggles more. "Give me your arm!!" Jake's eyes widen in surprise and he looked shocked, but immediately smiles brightly, holding his arm out to him. Levi connects it to his arm. "You should be able to use it like a normal hand!" Jake nods a bit, forming a fist and looking amazed, muttering. "Woah.." He quickly hugs Levi tightly, happy tears coming to his eyes and he lets them fall, looking estatic as he had thought he was going to never have a hand. "Thank you so much Levi.." Addison looks at him, wiping her face and sniffling, nodding and getting up, taking it carefully from him, hugging him tightly. "I-I'm really sorry, V-Vincent.." Zarron growls loudly at her. "No." Kye glances at them, but doesn't smile, just watching. Vincent shakes his head weakly. "Mmf.. just fix it.. please..."
Levi nods, nuzzling him and hugging him back tightly. "Does it work??" Jake nods, wiping his face and nuzzling him back. "It works perfectly, sweetheart.." He looks towards Kye and sees him not smiling, sighing and moving over to him, cupping his snout in both his hands, seeing if he could use his magic through the metal and nodding to himself as he could, heating both his hands. "It means better belly rubs, you know.. Wanna test it?" Emma huffs, letting go and laying her head back down on his chest, muttering in Russian. "I don't see why you don't trust me.. I'm all anyone could ever ask for.." Addison sighs shakily and nods. "mmf.. I'll be back.." She leaves the room and goes to Kayla's room, knocking on the door softly. Kye pulls away again. "..no.." Zarron gives her an odd look. "Not when you're rude." Kayla opens it, tilting her head as she sees her. Emma stares at him, narrowing her eyes a bit. "I don't try to be rude, you know. I've been like this since I was a week old. My mother hated me when I was born and tried to kill me on multiple occasions. Vincent just hates me most of the time. And Kye is depressed all the time and because we're literally liked it makes me depressed. Levi's Schizophrenic and is either crying or drawing and listening to music. Basically only talking to me when it's about himself. Jake's been gone for three years. Kayla and Aaron are always busy with Athena and Athena and I hate each other. She's Schizophrenic as well as Kayla. Lucy is just annoying and was only born yesterday. Jaidan is either with karma or with Vincent. Either way he doesn't ever talk to me. Warren's always with my mother. Karma's always in his room or with Jaidan. I am literally on my own here. You can't expect me to know how to properly talk to people." Addison sighs shakily, showing her the plush, her cheeks tear stained, looking like she was ready to start crying again. "M-Mmf.. Can I use y-your stuff to sew this..? P-Please..?" Jake frowns a bit, moving both his hands down to Kye's belly and quickly starting to scratch it before he could move away. "This is actually very good for you, you know.. It makes you happy and you need to be happy.." Zarron searches her face. "Mm.. I suppose that's fair.." Kayla looked shocked. "Wh- What happened?!" Kye squirms, trying to kick him away. Addison bursts into tears again, looking extremely guilty, shaking a bit. "I-I ripped Jaidan's plush B-But I-I didn't know at the t-time that V-Vincent m-made it himself.. I-I need to f-fix it.. V-Vincent made this.. A-And i-I.. ripped I-It.." She cries harder, looking awful. Jake frowns deeply, pulling his hands away and sighing shakily. "M-Mmf.. Kye.. I can't help you if you don't let me.. I can't watch you like this.. You deserve to be happy, sweetheart.. No matter what you think, you do.. I need you to understand that.." He closes his eyes for a moment before opening them and letting a tear run down his cheek. "M-My sister.. When.. Wh-When she died.. I.. I thought I wasn't going to make it.. B-But... here I am 17 y-years later.. You'll make it through this, baby.. You've got people who love and support you.. O-Okay..?" He mutters again much much quieter, his eyes looking off slightly. "..You've got people who love and support you.." Emma sighs, staring at the wall as she thought. "Mmf.. Do you play with your daughter..? Kye doesn't play with me much.. He prefers to just sit there and sulk.. But the stuff in his drawers are interesting.. They make you feel funny and stuff but it's still boring just being alone and having to hunt alone and get enough for Levi and Kye to eat too.. And then they don't even say thank you afterwards.." She looked genuinely upset about this. Kayla frowns deeply. "Of course I'll let you use them.. come in..." Kye sighs shakily. "I need to drink..." Zarron searches her eyes. "Mm..." Jake sighs shakily. "M-Mmf.. You can't even go into your normal form yet.. How do you suppose you're going to drink..? From a bowl..?" Addison steps into her room, holding the plush tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks and her head hanging down. Aaron sees her like this and looks confused, holding Carter in his arms who was asleep and wrapped in a blanket. "What's wrong..?" Emma sighs shakily, sniffling and snuggling up to his chest, folding her ears down against her head and burying her face in his chest, holding onto his shirt tightly. "M-Mmf.. Can you stay f-forever..?" Kye grumbles. "Yes, idiot.." he immediately seemed to regret this, looking off and curling up. Kayla sighs. "She just needs to fix something.." she leads her to her sowing room. Zarron frowns. "Mm... I'm not sure about that.."
Emma sighs shakily, a deep frown covering her face and she mutters under her breath in Indonesian, hoping he didn't understand it. "..Why does everything in this world have to suck..?" Jake frowns deeply at this, just trying to ignore it, knowing he was hurting. "M-Mmf.. Baby.. I'm not going to stop you from drinking but I want to be with you when you do.. Okay..? I'll even pour it in a bowl for you.. Just.. J-Just let me be with you.. That's all I'm asking.. I love you.." Levi and Celeste were now under the bed playing quietly with Legos. Addison follows close behind her, sniffling and wiping her face with her shirt. "M-Mmf.. Can you help me with this, P-Please..? I'm sure you've fixed a stuffed animal before for A-Athena, R-Right..?" Aaron frowns a bit. "Alright.." Carter shifts, his hand inside Aaron's shirt. Aaron sighs shakily, holding him close and just hoping he'd stay asleep, looking exhausted. Zarron just stares at her. "It doesn't." Kye nods silently. Kayla nods. "Mmhm.." Addison sniffles and nods, looking around her sowing room to see what she could use, having only sewed a few times before. "M-Mmf.." Emma glares at him, frustrated that he knew the languages she kept speaking in. "It might not for you but it does for me. I'd be better off by myself. Then I wouldn't have to worry about anyone else. I could be free to do whatever I want." Jake sighs shakily, scooping Kye up and heading to the kitchen, setting him down and grabbing a big bowl, setting it on the counter and glancing back at him before just grabbing a bottle of Vodka, figuring he probably didn't care, pouring half the bottle into the bowl and setting it in front of Kye on the ground, keeping the other half for himself and taking a sip, sitting on the ground next to him. "Mmf.. There.. And after this we can lay down and sniggle together.." Kayla quickly goes to a sowing kit, grabbing needle and thread. Zarron rolls his eyes. "Uh-Huh." Kye lays down on the ground, licking at it and reeling back in surprise at the taste, sneezing a bit before poking his tongue back into it.
Jake chuckles a bit at his reaction, drinking the rest of the bottle quickly and setting it down, leaning back against the wall. "Mm.. Maybe I'm not totally opposed to this idea.. Haven't drank in three years.. And! My birthdays in two days. I deserve to treat myself like this." He get up and grabs a few more bottles of hard liquor, setting them down and grabbing another one. "Lemme know if you want more." He opens the new bottle, seeming to struggle a bit until he remembered that he had two hands, opening it easily with his other hand, muttering to himself. "Forgot I had that now.." Emma sighs shakily, snuggling up to his chest and glancing up at him. "Can you take your shirt off..? Daddy doesn't sleep with a shirt on and it's warmer like that for me.. And I'm super sleepy cuz I haven't really slept in a few days.. So I wanna sleep now.." Addison sighs shakily, sitting down and examining the plush, pushing the stuffing back in in places it was starting to fall out, muttering quietly. "I wonder if he made this specifically for Jaidan.. I.. I still remember the first time I saw Jaidan with it.. He was um.. 7..? He had just had his first attack and I didn't want to deal with it so Vincent did.. I think that's what made their bond so strong.. Vincent always being there for Jaidan and Jaidan always being there for Vincent.." Kye didn't look at him, continuing to simply lap up his own. Zarron furrows his brow. "Um, no.. I can't." Kayla was fitting the thread used for the plush based on colour and size. "Mm..." Jake finishes the bottle he had and sets it down, his charm turning on high, not even meaning to and his tail swishing behind him slowly, he moves over to Kye, grabbing his snout with one of his hands tightly, kissing his jaw multiple times, and whispering in his ear. "Love you, baby~" Emma wines a bit. "M-Mmf.. But I want to be warm.. And you have fire magic which means your body temperature is warmer than say, Levi's.. Cuz he's an ice type.. Pleaseeee.." Addison glances at her, setting the plush down. "What made your bond so strong with him..?" Kye just rubs his ear against his cheek, staying close to him. Zarron shakes his head. "It would take way too long to get this off." Kayla pauses, thinking deeply about this. "I'm.. not sure.. we've just always been close.." she sighs. "I think at first it just started off because he really wanted a daughter.. and then just improved from there.." Addison sighs shakily. "Mmf.. That makes sense, considering.." She trails off, going silent and staring at the ground. Jake hiccups in his ear, staying like that for several moments, breathing heavily and warmly into Kye's ear. "So beautiful..~" He was clearly very drunk at this point, his eyes barely open and he continued to hiccup, his head against Kye's head. Max walks in, seeing them and chuckling, grabbing one of the bottles off the ground that Jake had grabbed, opening it and taking a sip. "Having fun you two?" Jake doesn't respond, going limp against Kye, his tail falling to the floor and his head resting on his head. Emma huffs. "Then how do you sleep at nightttttt..?" She shakes her head a bit, giving up and curling up in his arms. "Just.. Keep me warm.. And uh.. Can you sing..? I like singing.. I don't care what kind of singing.. Just singing.." Kayla tilts her head. "Considering what..?" Kye, startled, backs up, stumbling away as his body had begun to crush him how they were. Zarron laughs awkwardly. "Uh, I'm not real used to doing that like this.." Emma tilts her head at him. "I honestly don't care what kind of singing it is.. Levi listens to a band called.." She thinks deeply. "Uh.. Set it off..? It's his favorite band.. And um.. He likes my chemical romance I think.. He listens to A LOT of things like that.. And darker stuff but not with me.." Addison sighs shakily, taking a deep, shaky breath. "M-Mmf.. He.. He had a daughter.. 26.. years ago.." Jake's face slams against the ground, him staying unconscious. Max rolls his eyes, going over to Jake and moving him into a more comfortable position, looking to Kye. "You okay? He's been gone for 3 years. I'd imagine he can't handle his alcohol very well." Zarron chuckles. "I'm the lead singer of Set it off, actually." Kayla looks confused. "What..? But that doesn't.. make sense..." Kye frowns deeply, staring at the floor. Addison looks to her with pained eyes but was slowly getting better at talking about it. "She.. didn't make it.. I.. I was 14.. My first child.. She.. She didn't survive.. Her name was Isabelle.. Jaidan.. He.. He thinks he's the oldest.. B-But.." Her voice breaks slightly. "H-He's not.." She wipes her face, hugging Kayla as tight as she could, holding her close. "M-Mmf.. I-I have a feeling you two would've g-got along great.." Max sighs, getting on the ground next to Kye, setting the bottle down and putting his arm around him. "We don't have to talk if you don't want. I'm just here for support, alright? Cuddles and whatever you want." He smiles warmly at him, Remembering when he and Jaidan were younger and he would do the same with him. Emma raises both eyebrows in surprise. "Then you can definitely sing to me!!" She bounces a little in his arms, lifting her head off his chest and smiling brightly, looking extremely excited. "Daddy's a singer too!!" Kayla's eyes widen, and she frowns deeply. "I... I'm so sorry..." Kye wines quietly, nuzzling him and snuggling up close to him. Zarron lets out a long sigh, thinking. "Alright, get settled.." Addison sighs shakily, holding her tighter and whispering to her. "You're beautiful and amazing.. Don't ever forget that, okay..? You're so special and don't let anyone tell you anything else.." Emma nods rapidly, laying her head on his chest again and closing her eyes, sighing and gripping onto the collar of his armor suit, snuggling up to him and muttering something quietly to herself. Max sighs, rubbing his head softly, watching him. "Do you want to talk? I've only ever really helped Jaidan and he's all over the place, so. Sometimes wanting to talk. Other times screaming at me to shut up." Kayla hugs her close. "M-Mm.." Zarron sighs, relaxing himself and singing one of his softer, more appropriate songs to her. Kye shakes his head weakly, just keeping his head against his chest. "Just be here.." Max nods. "Of course.." He continues to rub his head, his other hand resting on his back, humming softly, it clear he was trying to be comforting. Jake stayed unconscious on the ground. Addison sighs shakily, sniffling and nuzzling her, pulling back after a few seconds, her vision blurry with tears. "W-We need to f-fix the plush.." Emma falls asleep fairly quickly, her hand still gripping onto the collar of his armor suit, her tail against his arm. She was snoring quietly and had a smile on her face as she slept, looking peaceful and happy. Zarron smiles a bit, stopping a few minutes after she fell asleep to make sure she stayed that way. Kye closes his eyes, drifting off slowly. Kayla nods, pulling away and grabbing the needle and thread again. Levi had his head peaking out from under the bed and was staring at him in awe. "Woah.. That was.. Awesome.." Max smiles a little, continuing to him and rub his head, knowing he needed this. Addison grabs the plush and holds it out to her, sniffling and wiping her eyes. "M-Mmf.. I was um.. I was wondering if.. At some point.. You.. Could make me something I could wear on a date with Vincent..? I want to make him a nice dinner and spend a night with just us together.. But.. He's seen everything I own.. So.." Zarron looked a little startled, but laughs nervously. "Thanks, kid." Kayla looked a little surprised, but then smiles warmly. "Of course.." she takes the plush carefully. Levi gets out from under the bed, glancing under it before getting up, muttering to himself. "Good.. She's asleep.." He stands up and looks up at him, clearly trying to contain his excitement, ignoring Emma. "Okay, okay. I know I'm supposed to hate you and whatnot but can I pleaseeee have your autograph?? Anthony likes your music too.. Maybe one for him too?? You're really really cool and I wanna be a singer too!" Emma shifts a bit from Levi's voice. Addison smiles a bit weakly. "Thank you, sweetheart.. Also.." She glances towards her bedroom. "Who was Aaron holding..?" Zarron smiles, chuckling. "Sure." Kayla's face melts into absolutely adoration. "My son.." Levi nods rapidly. "I'll be right back! Hang on!" He turns into his dragon form and bolts out of the room, coming back with his sketchbook in his mouth along with a pen, setting them down and going back to his normal form, picking them up and getting on the bed with him, opening the sketchbook to an empty page and drawing a line down the middle, sliding it over to Zarron and handing him the pen. "I can give Anthony his later but I'm just excited to see you in real life and I not pretend like I hate you and stuff cuz I actually LOVE you so much and you're really awesome!" He was panting from talking so much and his heart was pounding, looking beyond extremely happy. "Maybe one day I could sing with you or something! I've already written my own song! It's on my phone but I don't have that right now but I memorized it and I use an app for the instruments and I sing it all by myself!!" He now looked like he was about to pass out, having to stop to catch his breath. Addison seemed to immediately understand, her eyes widening in surprise and she smiles brightly. "That's amazing, Kayla!! What's his name??" Zarron laughs, holding a hand against his shoulder. "Calm down, Bud. You're wearing yourself out." Kayla giggles happily. "Carter." Addison chuckles, looking much happier now. "That's a wonderful name! When was he born??" Levi nods a bit, couching (editor says "a person can't couch") and holding a hand to his chest, smiling awkwardly. "Sorry.. You're just really awesome.." He catches his breath after a minute. "I could sing the song for you without the instruments.." Kayla lets out a light sigh. "Yesterday!" Zarron tilts his head. "Alright." Addison hugs her from behind lightly as she didn't want to mess up her sewing. "As soon as you're done and I take that to Vincent I want to see him, alright, sweetheart..? I need to see what this precious little one looks like.." Levi nods, thinking for a few moments before locking his eyes on a spot on the ground and starting to sing. As he was singing, he looked a little sad at certain parts, but continued strongly, looking up at Zarron when he was done, a worried look on his face as he didn't know how it sounded. Levi frowns a bit, his voice quiet. "...Was it that bad...?" Addison sighs, watching her and kissing her cheek softly. "Thank you so much, sweetheart.." Zarron shakes his head. "I just don't think that was very.." he sighs. "Nevermind. It was good." Kayla smiled calmly. Addison looks off as she waits for her to finish, thinking deeply about everything. Levi sighs in relief. "Thank you.. There's another one in progress.. Here's the lyrics.. I still need music though.. So I'll just let you read these.." He puts the pen to mark the page where the autographs were, flipping to a page that was covered from top to bottom on both sides with words, sliding it over to him. "..Here.. and uh.. You probably won't get what some of the stuff is talking about but that's okay.. I just want you to see it and tell me what you think from a normal brains point of view.." After several minutes, she makes a delighted sound, holding the plush to her, good as new. She had fixed too some of the threads that had become loose with wear. Zarron frowns. "Not sure I'm the best candidate for that, but.." he reads over them. Addison smiles brightly, taking it and hugging her tightly. "Thank you so much, Kayla.." Levi shakes his head a bit. "I mean from someone who doesn't see random crap and other scary things constantly.. At least you can tell what's real and what's not.. I.. Can't.." Kayla nods, hugging her back and nuzzling her chest softly. Zarron lets out a long sigh, shaking his head a little and continuing to read. Once he finished, Levi mutters very quietly. "I'm tired, twisted, barely breathing.. Just.. Buried in the dark.." He puts his hand to the back of his head, tugging on his hair a bit and huffing a bit, taking his hand away from his head and clenching his fists, looking off. Addison sighs shakily. "I'll be back soon.." She holds onto the plush tightly and.searches for Vincent. Zarron frowns deeply. "Mm... I think we should get to bed.." Vincent was in their bedroom, pacing around looking through papers with a cigarette in his mouth. Addison sighs shakily, going over to him and showing him the plush, holding back tears. "H-Here, hunny.." Levi sighs shakily, looking back to him. "I'll lay with you and draw.. I can't sleep, but it's okay.. You need to.. I can just keep you company, you know..?" He forces a weak smile onto his face. Vincent stops pacing, taking the cigarette out of his mouth, letting out a bit of smoke as he did and smiling at her as he sees it. Zarron didn't seem to like this idea. "Mmf..." Levi sees his expression and let's out a long sigh, gesturing to his head. "It's kinda hard to sleep when my mind keeps going.. As long as I get like.. 3 hours a week.. I'm usually okay.." Addison sighs shakily, holding it out to him. "M-Mmf.. I'm s-sorry.." Zarron frowns deeper. "That's not enough for a growing child..." Vincent shakes his head, taking it. "It's fixed now.." he observes it, happy with it, but then hands it back. "I want you to give it back to him.." Addison raises both eyebrows, shaking her head. "No. Absolutely not. I still hate him and I'm not doing that." She sets it on the bed and tries to walk to the bathroom. Levi looks away, staring at the ground. "M-Mmf.. I know.. It's supposed to be like 63 or something.. Mmf.. I can't help it though.. I just.. Sometimes I can't sleep and.. Other times.. I'm.. scared to sleep.." He lets his hair fall in front of his eyes, his voice getting much quieter as if he was paranoid someone else was listening to them. "It's not easy when constant bad thoughts are in your head.. Or when everyone's hurting you.. I've got Anthony and even he can't help me.." He lifts his hoodie up only enough to reveal his stomach, showing all the bruises to him, him going silent as he looks down at it, his voice going even quieter. "It doesn't hurt.. Nobody understands that.." He looks up at him, moving Emma's tail and moving closer to Zarron, searching his belt to see what was on it, trying to grab his gun. "Let's play a fun game.. You've probably played.." His face seemed to go blank. Vincent's smile instantly fades, and his eyes go very sad, but he simply sighs shakily, taking the plush and leaving the room, having thought just maybe she would've realised what she was doing to them, but disappointed and saddened, he just heads to Karma's room. Zarron twitches, and he grabs his gun first, keeping a tight grip. "No. Bedtime. Now." Addison locks herself in the bathroom, sliding down the door and staring at the ground, her head flooded with anger, sadness, and confusion as she goes through past years of her life, sighing shakily. Jaidan was still awake, his head on Karma's shoulder, and staring at the wall with pained eyes, having put karma's hand against his throat again. Levi slowly moves his head to look up at him. "Wow. You really think I need yours? There's plenty around." He gets off the bed and lifts the mattress a bit, pulling out a gun, cocking it and pointing it at Zarrons leg in a padded area, his eyes twitching and this clearly wasn't him. Emma was still snuggled up to Zarrons chest. Zarron tenses, and he sprints to his feet, shoving Emma onto the bed and quickly trying to pin him down. Vincent goes in. "Hey.. it's fixed..." Addison gets up after a few minutes and goes back to Kayla's room, knocking on the door again. Levi yelps but immediately starts to growl loudly as the gun is knocked from his hand and slides across the floor, not thrashing but sinking his teeth into his arm, trying to bite the armored suit off to get to his actual arm. Emma grunts as she's shoved onto the bed but stays asleep, curling up and covering herself with her tail. Jaidan turns his body to look at him and smiles a bit weakly, sighing shakily. "..Th..ank....Y..ou...da..ddy.." The suit was tough, and when he got through a patch a pop sounds and a harsh burning filled the sensations around his mouth. Zarron quickly wrapped his arm around him, holding him there. Kayla opens it again, still smiling. Vincent nods. Jaidan takes the plush carefully, smiling more at it and hugging it close to his chest, grabbing the paper and pencil to be faster. "You can lay with us if you want. We like to snuggle. Especially with you!" Addison smiles back weakly, going in. Aaron was still sitting on the bed with Carter in his arms wrapped in a blanket. Addison goes over to the bed, sitting next to Aaron. "Can I hold him..?" Aaron looks to her and nods rapidly. "Please.." He quickly hands him over but was very very careful. "He likes to pulls hair, so be careful.." Carter looks up at Addison with big, curious eyes, cooing quietly and grabbing her hair, wrapping his hand around it and giggling wildly. Addison chuckles a bit, not seeming to mind. "You remind me of Liam, you little giggle machine.." She tickles him. Carter looked estatic, laughing and squirming, looking extremely happy and kicking his way out of his blanket. Levi immediately snaps out of it, quickly pulling his mouth away and looking horrified, breathing heavily and trying to get his hand to his mouth, tears coming to his eyes instantly and he bursts into tears from the pain, not used to feeling most pains. Vincent sighs, shaking his head a little as he thought to protest. "Alright.." he didn't want to be with Addison. Zarron frowns deeply, seeing he was back to normal and quickly closing up the patch, cursing rapidly under his breath. "Spit it out- do NOT swallow!" He was carefully yet vigorously wiping his mouth with his gloved hand. Kayla watched them with happy eyes. Levi had already swallowed some of what was in his mouth but quickly turns his head and spits out the rest, crying harder, looking absolutely terrified, Zarrons reaction scaring him even more. "I-I a-a-already s-swallowed s-some!!!" Addison looks to Kayla. "He's beautiful.." Carter sticks his hand into Addison's shirt, grabbing for her chest. Addison chuckles a bit. "I don't have any milk, silly." Jaidan sighs shakily, snuggling up in between karma and Vincent but close enough to karma to not hurt his arm by extending it too far. Zarron looked horrified, his rapid cursing accelerating in speed and volume. "Okay- Okay- um- uhhh- AGH!" Levi's face would still burn, and his throat even worse, the burning seeming to run down his throat and to his stomach as it slowly made its way there. Kayla giggles. Karma looked terrified, but was hiding it from Vincent. Levi grips onto Zarron tightly, trying not to scream but his crying loud and harsh, looking even more terrified now. "M-M-M-Make I-It S-STOP!!!" Jaidan notices Karma's expression and turns to face him instead, putting a hand on his cheek and rubbing it softly with his thumb, giving him a look as if saying "it's okay", glancing back at Vincent. Aaron had fallen asleep sitting up against the headboard, having been relieved to not be holding Carter. Carter tries to pulls down her shirt, looking confused at her. Addison rolls her eyes playfully. "Let's get you fed, cutie." She carefully holds Carter out to Kayla, making sure to support his head. Carter looks at Kayla and his eyes light up, seeming to not have seen him before, reaching his arms towards her and cooing quietly, grabbing onto her hair and trying to move her closer, seeming to not understand that Addison was giving him to her. Vincent was ridiculously tired, and already was barely awake. Karma on the other hand, was very awake, paranoid and scared, shaking and staring at Vincent. Kayla chuckles, taking him and holding him close, lifting her shirt so she could feed him. Zarron looked panicked, quickly taking off his gloves and slicing down one of his hands and putting his mouth to the blood, expelling a substance out of one of his teeth, and holding his other hand over it, as he took his hand away the blood had ran black, and he holds it out to Levi. "Drink this, quickly!" Levi frantically starts to lick it up, whimpering loudly as he felt his insides burning, gagging before he could finish, trying to force it down his throat, crying harder as he gagged again. Jaidan snuggles up closer to Jaidan, resting his head on his shoulder and pulling the covers up to all their necks, smiling reassuringly at Karma and using sign language, hoping he would understand it, keeping his hands so Vincent couldn't see them. "You're okay. Just breath and calm down. I'm right here. Nothing can happen with me here." Carter latches on, immediately begining to eat, clearly very hungry, closing his eyes as he did. Addison smiles happily at them, wrapping him arm around Kayla. "These are the times that I wish all my children were still babies.." Doing this soothed his tongue, and opposite to what he had swallowed before it soothed as it went down, but the burning was still there, just dulled. Kayla warmly smiles at Carter as she watched him. "Mm~..." It was unclear if Karma did understand, but he pressed his face against the mattress, squeezing his eyes shut. Levi keeps a tight grip on Zarron, still looking beyond terrified, breathing heavily and covering his mouth, feeling sick but not knowing if it would make it worse or better, sealing his mouth shut and clutching his eyes shut, his head spinning. Carter eats for a few minutes before letting go, burping on his own on complete accident and spit up running down his chin, him squirming a bit as he didn't like the feeling on his skin. Addison chuckles, watching him and glancing at Kayla. "Could I sleep in here with you guys tonight..?" Jaidan sighs shakily, closing his own eyes and falling asleep almost instantly, extremely exhausted from everything that had happened today. Zarron holds him close. "It's going to be okay..." Kayla chuckles at Carter, wiping it off and rubbing it between her fingers, causing it to disintegrate. "Sure." Levi nods a bit weakly but quickly leans his head away from Zarron and empties his stomach onto the ground, looking absolutely terrified as he did, scared to death it was going to make whatever happened worse, his eyes wide in fear. Carter stares at her with a confused look on his face. Addison sighs shakily, looking around to see where Athena was. "Where's Athena?" Zarron frowns deeply, having figured that might happen, but was still worried nonetheless. "It's okay..." Kayla frowns a little, gesturing To the bathroom. "She didn't want to sleep with Carter.." Addison frowns a bit as well. "Mmf.. I'll go talk to her.." She gets up, going to the bathroom and going in, looking to see where she was. Carter snuggles up to Kayla's chest, closing his eyes and falling asleep quickly. Levi sighs shakily, looking relieved as it didn't get worse, spitting out what he could and laying his head against Zarrons chest, sniffling and muttering quietly. "M-My tummy's burning.. N-Not as B-Bad.. B-But.. I-It's still b-burning.." Kayla sees this and sits onto the bed carefully. Athena was curled up in the corner on the floor, where Kayla had put an array of cushions and blankets down for her, refusing to let her lay on a cold, dirty floor, and was curled up in a blanket she had tucked herself into. She couldn't tell if she was asleep, or awake, as she still had the bandages over her eyes. Zarron lets out a long sigh. "I know... it'll get better.. just rest..." Addison sighs shakily, going over to where she was and sitting down next to her, putting a hand on her back carefully and slowly as she didn't want to startle her. "Hey.. It's Addison.." Aaron was still asleep sitting up against the headboard, his neck at a weird angle as his head had fallen to the side. Carter shivered a little as he had kicked his blanket off earlier, but stayed asleep peacefully. Levi sniffles, nodding a bit weakly and closing his eyes, digging his face into his chest and muttering quietly. "Celeste's asleep under the bed by the way.." He shifts, reaching up to the bed and grabbing a blanket off of it, throwing a different one over Emma the best he could from where he was and using the one he had grabbed to wrapping around himself, snuggling up in it and cuddling up to Zarron, muttering. "I think I can sleep like this.." Athena had tensed a little, but she had heard her footsteps, so she was prepared partly. "Mmf..." Kayla sighs, carefully scooting up the bed to Aaron, moving him so he was laying down against the pillow, and carefully, she lays down herself, covering Carter with the blanket as it too covered her as he laid on her chest. Zarron nods. "Good.. just go ahead and try.. I'll keep watch over you.." Levi nods a bit, sighing shakily and closing his eyes, shifting around in his lap for a few moments before settling with his head against his chest and his face buried in his chest whispering quietly. "Thank you.." He starts to doze off, clearly not doing so great and he pulls his Hood up drowsily, shadowing his face and huffing a bit, after he jerked awake, looking up at Zarron. "Is there something you can do to take the creatures away until I can get to sleep..? Um.." He frowns a bit as he remembers Zarron not liking Vincent. "I don't know if everyone can do that, but.. It would probably help.. Or just cuddles.. Maybe that'll work.. We can try that actually.." He pushes Zarron down so he was laying down, laying on top of him and covering them both with the blanket, laying his head against Zarrons neck, smiling a little and closing his eyes again. "This is better.." Addison sighs, rubbing her back softly. "Hey.. Can we talk..?" Carter stays asleep. Aaron stirs a little, just opening his eyes a bit and moving closer to Kayla and Carter before falling asleep again. Zarron just rubs his back. Kayla closes her eyes as well, and too drifts off. Athena looked off, murmuring, "About what..?" Addison sighs shakily. "Mmf.. How about we sleep first and talk in the morning.. I'll sleep with you.." She lays down next to her, moving her closer and rubbing her back. "I'll keep you company.." Levi falls asleep quickly. Athena smiles a little, glad she was there, regardless of her want to be alone, as she had begun to get a bit scared without anyone with her. "..thank you..." Addison doesn't respond, just letting herself drift off with her arms wrapped around Athena protectively. Athena sighs shakily, too drifting off.
