[Evil Tink]

Hayden looked over the body, an almost invisible smile at her face. She sat up and faced Seth as he came back, "Did he tell you to keep it? He would not have parted with it so easily, not even in..death.." She gingerly took the box and opened it. She stared at the ring for awhile, "It's..rather amazing." She lifted it from the box and placed it on a finger that was a good width to hold it steadily. She smiled a bit, if only he had black hair...

Days turned to weeks; weeks to months; months to almost two years before any sign of anything occurring with the body. Hayden was outside in the garden with Anne, picking the various vegetables and placing them in the basket; they were making beef stew tonight. She smiled, looking over to Anne, about to say something when suddenly, she dropped the basket holding the carrots and green beans. Her eyes went wide, her body trembling a bit. "S-s.."

She ran up to the house; Serus never gave her much blood to store up her power finding that it greatly reduced her blood craze issues to be close to 'human normal'. She burst into the house, yelling for Serus and/or Seth as she bolted up the stairs and into the room where the body had been resting. She stood in the door way for a moment before her knees fell from beneath her.

The blonde haired man, who was currently standing by the full length mirror frowned at his reflection, "Well..this completely sucks.." He grabbed a lock of his hair, leaning forward and looking at it closely in the mirror. His frowned deepened as he put a finger to his eyes, pulling slightly on the bottom half of his skin, "She couldn't have found me someone with black hair?"

Hearing something hit the floor, he turned, his green eyes wide, "H-Hay..den..?" His mouth hung wide open as he stared at her. "H-how can this be? You.." He made no move to go over to her, not really believing it was true. His heart began to race and his breathing became rapid and jagged. His own knees collapsed beneath him as his mind raced for answers. "You were dead...I felt you die..." He quickly calmed himself, hearing footsteps approaching.

Serus fell back as Aria's foot connected with her chest; sending her into the wall. She held up her hands, "A-Aria wait! I..I need to go!" She skittered past her daughter and up the stairs. She came to the room just as the man fell to the floor, "S-Solo..mon? Solomon..I..I'm..." She looked away as her expression became sad. She quickly put on a smile, helping Hayden to her feet as she heard Seth coming down the hall, "H-How do you feel?"
