She stood, nodding, "I'm fine, and yes, that sounds good. I know this cute little shop, just a few minutes from here. I cant..quite seem to place the name. But, you'll know it right away! It's right across from the Best Western Hotel. It's white with light blue trim along it's windows. You'll see it. If not, I'll be here at 7 tomorrow night, preparing for opening the carnival again."

She heaved the door shut, leading them back to the entrance, avoiding going near her Carousel. Once they had left, she went back to her post, laying across her statue as before, thinking about what had just happened. Two out of the three times she touched him, she felt dizzy and..things started to appear in her mind. Nothing definitive, but she had a feeling they were important. Her past perhaps?

Why would he have any effect on that? She didn't even know the guy, yet something in her mind told her otherwise. She furrowed her brow, sending scores of people to the ride when they came by. Most of the kids ended up crying a bit when they got close to the horses, but that's okay. That was the theme of the carnival and parents were sternly warned about it.

"Ok I'll be there no problem." He said with a smile. They fallowed her out of the carnival. They waved goodbye to her as they went up the street. They got back to the spot where they arrived. "So hunbun do you want to go home or do you wanna go back to Jaelynn's?" Seth asked sweetly.
"Umm aunt Jaelynn's." She said as she laid her head on Seth's shoulder.
"Ok also she is going to teach you how to use your astral projection." Seth said as he gathered up power to teleport.
"Ok." She said as Seth teleported.

Seth teleported to the study. "Hi Jaelynn." Seth said with a smile.
"Hi auntie Jaelynn." Annemarie said tilting her head.

[Evil Tink]

Jaelynn was still in her study, thinking intently. She was trying to think of how she could possibly fix this horrible mess that the vampire world was plunging further and further into. She leaned back in the large chair, closing her eyes while she thought.

For months now, the Antinori's have been trying to repair the councilmen's corrupted minds with reasoning, but have been failing miserably. The only visible option now was to..eliminate the current board of members and replace them. She knew how she would do it..but..how could it work? Many vampire covens would not be pleased if they suddenly went and killed the Board.

Suddenly Seth and Annemarie were before her again, "Ah, welcome back. Did you have a good time Anne?" She smiled, standing up and heading over.

[Bovice]

"It was great, then bad, then great again." She said as she fluctuated her voice.
"Well we had a little incident with the carousel." Seth said looking at Annemarie.
"Daddy they were real horses." She said with a whine.
"I believe you hunbun." He said as he looked at Jaelynn. "She has psychometry." Seth said proudly.

"Daddy? Why did you say you'd have coffee with that lady?" She asked tilting her head.
"Well she looks like someone daddy used to know." Seth said as flashbacks of Serus came into his mind.
"Daddy?" She said as she touched his head. When she did she got flashes of someone in her head. She jumped a little when she saw them.
"Did you just read my mind hunbun?" He said when she jumped.

"I don't know daddy, all I got were pictures of someone." She said looking at her hands.
"Well I guess I can't keep anyone from reading my mind." He said with a chuckle as he looked at Jaelynn.

[Evil Tink]

Jaelynn frowned as Annemarie mentioned the horses, "If I would've known you had Psychometric, I would've warned you. The Midnight Carnival is famous for it's use of..animals. They don't hurt them at all though sweetie, alright?" She gently placed her hand on Annemarie's shoulder, "You don't have to worry, they would never hurt anyone or anything."

She looked to Seth with a frown, picking up on what was going on in his head from Annemarie, "What lady are you talking about? Who does she look like?" She couldn't help but chuckle at Seth's last comment, "It doesn't appear so. Perhaps I will help you with that another day. First we have to get her in control of her psychic powers before she hurts someone, or herself."

[Bovice]

"Her name is Elysia LaShalla and she looks like Serus." Seth said to Jaelynn as he looked down to the floor.
"Daddy I can hear you." Annemarie said with a giggle.
"Well I guess I should teach you the value of not eavesdropping." Seth said as he tickled her stomach.
"Daddy..." She said while giggling.

"What? I can tickle you anytime I want." He said smiling and stopped tickling Annemarie. He put her down on the floor. "I think we should get to teaching don't you think Jaelynn?" Seth said with a smile.

[Evil Tink]

Jaleynn blocked Annemarie from listening to anything further in their conversation "LaShalla? Are you kidding me? That's not a common name for America. I think we should investigate this once she's asleep." She smiled, looking down to Annemarie, "He's right, we should get training while he gets some rest. Come with me?" She held out her hand for Annemarie to take. "May I help myself to your memory of it? I would like to see her before we make any move."

[Bovice]

""I'm not kidding you, and I know its not common for America. Ok when your done Ill teleport her to Felix so he can watch over her."
"Okie, bye daddy sleep tight." She gave him a quick hug and then grabbed Jaelynn's hand.
"Sure just please don't look at anything else. Please?" Seth said as he sat down in a chair.

[Evil Tink]

She took Annemarie from the study and down to the basement, where the arenas were held. She led Annemarie into the firs tone on the left, shutting the door behind them. The room was well lit with many various weapons scattered on the walls and various training dummies around the floor. "This space should be good enough. Have you ever experienced any Projection before? Tell me about it."

Simultaneously, she was gathering the images of the woman from Seth's mind. She tensed for a moment, a slightly sad expression appearing on her face for a brief moment before disappearing. "You're right..she does. And her hat...I have a spare in her room, pull it out would you?"

[Bovice]

"There was this one time I was sleeping, and I got up and I walked downstairs and I saw daddy, but he didn't see me and he went to check on me and I was still there." She said all in one breath.
"Ok." Seth said as he got up and went to Serus' room. He got in there and grabbed the hat. He looked at it and started to cry.
"Daddy's sad." She said as she looked up. She got sad knowing Seth was sad.

Seth walked back to the study. "I have the hat." He said as he put it on the desk. He went and sat in the chair. He leaned his head back trying to forget that Serus' hat was a few feet away from him.

[Evil Tink]

Jaelynn frowned, "I know, and it's my fault. Please forgive me, but it's important." She then addressed the matter of Annemarie's experience, "And you did this unconsciously? Interesting. How did you 'get back in your body', so to say?"

She took mental pictures of the hat from Seth's mind while the images were fresh, comparing the hats to one another. She then sent the comparison to Seth, "They're identical. I don't think that this is coincidence. I won't be with Annemarie too long, this is far too important..wait..you said you were having coffee with her tomorrow?"

[Bovice]

"But.." She started to say but got pulled into Jaelynn's question. "I just sat down into my body." She said confused.
"They are identical, and those hat's are hard to find. Yes I am around noon." Seth said trying not to cry from the picture of Serus.
"Daddy needs to stop being sad all of the time. I don't think my mommies would be happy." She said looking down at her feet.

[Evil Tink]

Jaelynn was about to ask her something, but stopped, "Mommies? Plural? What?" She shook her head, holding up her hand, "Never mind that now. I need you to focus and clear your mind here. If you get distracted, there may be some..dire consequences."

"Indeed..I bet you, the same person who made Serus' made Elysia's. I can't seem to remember, but can you look on the inside of her hat for the maker's signature? I think it's right on the top." Before Seth could act, she quickly blocked off the area, hoping to block Annemarie's connection to Seth, or even mute it.

[Bovice]

"OK."She said as she started to clear her mind. "I can't feel daddy anymore is he ok?" She asked worried.
Seth got up to look at the hat "Frederick Wilson." He said as he gently put the hat down and went back to the chair. "Why do I keep doing this to myself?" He asked himself as he leaned his head back and closed his eyes again.

[Evil Tink]

"He's fine, I'm just trying to help you focus. Now keep your mind blank. I'm going to cast your spirit for you, so you can get a feel for what that's like, and how you should manipulate your power to do so. Alright? It's going to feel a bit strange, but bear with me."

She focused her mind on Annemarie's bringing out the power of astral projection from the girl's mind, then forcing it to cast her spirit outward from her body. She kept a hold on Annemarie's mind and spirit to make sure both remained stable.

Unlike Annemarie, Jaelynn could multitask the teaching and the conversation with her father. It was fairly difficult keeping the too separate, but not impossible. "Fredrick..ah I remember now. I know just where to find him too."

[Bovice]

"This feels really weird." Annemarie said.
"Ok we'll go to him later." Seth said looking at his watch. "Will he still be open it's almost midnight?" Seth asked looking up at the ceiling. "Why do I always get myself into these messes?" He asked himself as he started to look back over the last eight years.
