Serus shook her head, heading to the kitchen, "It's in the upper cupboard...so the kids can't get at it." The door of the cupboard opened slightly.

Aria laid down on the couch, poking her sister, "Way to go...you got daddy mad."

Lexie growled a bit, flicking Aria's nose, "No, you did."

Aria wrinkled her nose, "You did too..."

[Bovice]

"Thanks." Seth said as he reached up to grab the scotch. He stopped, "Do you feel that?" Seth asked looking at Serus. "I have never felt this kind of presence before." Seth said walking towards the window.
Annemarie was sitting in the chair when she saw Seth walk towards the window. "Dad what's..." She started to ask but Seth stopped her.
"I swear we are being watched." Seth said looking out the window.

[Evil Tink]

Serus held up her hand as Annemarie began to speak, sensing it as well, "I've..never sensed this..." She extended her mind around their property, but could not find anyone lurking the area. "I don't feel anyone..but..I..can sense them around. I don't understand this.."

Aria and Lexie came into the kitchen, both worried, "Mommy what's wrong?"

She quickly put on a smile as she faced the kids, "Oh nothing. I think Jae is messing with me is all." She motioned to the table, "Supper is almost done. Why don't you two sit down."

[Bovice]

"This defiantly is Jaelynn." Seth said to Serus. He looked at the twins, "Sit, sit. I think I am just going crazy." Seth said with a smile. But in the back of his mind he knew something was up.
Annemarie sat down at the table and she could tell that Seth was upset.

"Felix do you remember Camelia?" Seth asked as he walked to the oven.
"Yes sir I do why?" Felix asked as he was reading a book.
"Because I need a witch." Seth said as he grabbed the meatloaf out of the oven.
"Why do you need a witch?" Felix asked concerned.
"Some one is watching my family, and I have never felt this presence before." Seth said as he cut the meatloaf.
"I will contact her and let you know." Felix said as he stood up.
"Thank you Felix." Seth said as he brought the meatloaf over to the table. "Ok everyone dig in." Seth said with a weak smile. Seth looked at Serus and knew she was listening to his and Felix's conversation.

[Evil Tink]

"Cameila is a witch? How come you never told me? I would've loved to talk to her"Serus cut the meatloaf and put a slice on each plate then continued to cut it up in case anyone wanted more. She also put a plop of potatoes on twins' plates as well as her own. "If you throw your potatoes again, I will stuff them down your throats.." She took a bite of the meatloaf and smiles, "Understand?"

The twins nodded quickly and ate quietly.

[Bovice]

"I thought you knew." Seth said as he sat down. Seth ate a little bit but was distracted.
"Dad what is wrong you are really distracted." Annemarie asked.
"Oh nothing hunbun." Seth said as he tried to snap out of it.
"You are lying to me." Annemarie said as she put down her fork.
Seth blocked out the twins from reading his and Annemarie's mind. "Fine I will tell you, there is someone watching us and me and Serus have never felt this presence before." Seth said looking out the window.
"Is it bad?" Annemarie asked worried.
"I don't know yet. Now finish eating." Seth said as he looked at her.
Annemarie did as she was told.

Seth looked at Serus thinking that she was gonna yell at him.

[Evil Tink]

"I never really met her, so I never got a chance to analyze her." She bit down hard on her piece of meatloaf as Seth told Annemarie, "You're awfully nosy yet Annemarie, but, it can't be helped I guess." She smiled slightly as she finished off her potatoes, taking her plate and Lexie's to the sink.

Aria was twisting her fork in her potatoes, "Does Jaelynn hate me? Is that why she's always telling people to hit me?"

Serus laughed, "Oh hun, of course not. Jae just has her own twisted sense of humor. Just ignore her."

[Bovice]

"I'm sorry mom." Annemarie said as she finished her food.
Seth looked at his plate but didn't feel like finishing it. "I'm gonna go for a walk around the property." Seth said as he got up. "No one leaves this house, understand?" Seth said as he walked out of the kitchen. "Oh and Serus don't break anything." Seth said with a smile as he backtracked to the kitchen door.

Seth walked outside and could feel the presence even more but knew it wasn't on the property. Seth walked down the drive way. "Damn it Sean what are you doing skulking my property?" Seth asked as he turned to Sean.
"I felt someone watching you guys." Sean said as he morphed back into his human form.
"So you felt it to." Seth said as he started down the road.
"Ya it was kind of creepy." Sean said as he fallowed Seth.
"Tell me about it." Seth said as he felt something off. "Do you feel that?" Seth asked as he stopped dead in his tracks.
"I do but what is that?" Sean asked almost running into Seth.

"I really do not know, I am having a witch come out here to block anyone from watching my family." Seth said as he turned around. "You are welcome to stay with us if you want." Seth said as he started back up the driveway.
"That's interesting. I am not sure about staying with you, it would be better than sleeping outside." Sean said with a smile.
"Plus if you stay with us, I know that if something goes down you can protect my children." Seth said worried.
"Fine since you put it that way I will stay." Sean said as he put his arm around Seth.
"Thank you brother." Seth said as he put his arm around Sean.

[Evil Tink]

Serus frowned, "But..I like to break stuff.." She sighed, cleaning up the plates as the kids finished the meal. She quickly put the leftovers in Tupperware containers then put them in the fridge.

"Why can't we go outside?"

"Because it's bear season, dear. I don't want you getting ambushed by one." Serus smiled, urging the twins into the living room. "Seth..I can sense it again..and I'm really not liking it. I'm going to take the kids to the Antinori Mansion. It's the safest place for them. Is that alright and should I take Annemarie as well?" She went into the living room, sitting on the couch with the twins and watching tv.

[Bovice]

"I know, go ahead I'm gonna stay here with Sean, hopefully Felix contacts me soon. Take Annemarie if she wants to go." Seth said as he got to the door. "It looks like its just gonna be me and you Sean." Seth said as he opened the door.
"Aw I feel bad now." Sean said with a little sarcasm.
"Very funny bro." Seth said punching him in the arm.
"I wanna stay here with you daddy." Annemarie said when she heard Serus and Seth talking.

"Ok hunbun." Seth said walking in the house. "Strike that it will be you, me, and Annemarie." Seth said looking at Sean.
"That's fine." Sean said a little relived.

[Evil Tink]

"Are you sure Annemarie? I don't want you to get hurt, this presence is very...strange. I have no idea what it's capable of."

Aria frowned, "Mommy, is something wrong? You look worried."

Serus smiled, "I'm just thinking about how those bears are going to feel when they come across Seth. He can get quite..destructive as well you know." She ruffled Aria's hair, "Hey! Tell you what, how about you two and I go bother your older sister? I'd say she deserves it. Eh?"

[Bovice]

"I'm sure, plus I can take care of myself." Annemarie said with a smile.
Seth teleported to the living room. "Not as destructive as you." Seth said as he kissed Serus. "Now you three don't destroy Jaelynn's house." Seth said as he kissed the twins on the forehead. "Serus can you ask her if she can take my spot on the council tomorrow cause I wanna spend the day with Annemarie." Seth said looking around. "I will see you two tomorrow ok?" Seth said as he sensed the presence again. "Damn it Sean we need to find out what that is." Seth said with a worried look on his face.
"We will Seth don't worry." Sean said knowing that telling him not to worry would make him worry.

[Evil Tink]

Serus nodded, taking the twins' hands, "If you're sure Annemarie. As soon as things get dangerous, you're going there either way. Understand?" "Now then, how shall we surprise Jae?" She pulled the two up from the couch quickly, but not forcibly.

Aria squealed, "I'll jump on her!"

"Oh oh! I can take her legs!"

Serus laughed, "Okay okay, but you have to be quiet when we get there, alright?"

[Bovice]

"I know mom." Annemarie said kind of disappointed.
Seth laughed as they disappeared. "Sean you know you can come in." Seth said as he took a seat on the couch.
"I know but I didn't want the twins to attack me." Sean said with a smile as he entered the living room. "Hey kiddo how are you?" Sean asked as he walked up to Annemarie and gave her a hug.
"I'm good uncle Sean. How are you?" She asked as she hugged him back.
"I have been better." Sean said as he went into the kitchen. "Do you have any blood or alcohol?" Sean asked looking in the refrigerator.

"We have both, the blood is in the hidden refrigerator. The alcohol is in the top cupboard." Seth said as he changed the channel. "Let's see what time is it?" Seth asked as he looked at his watch. "Ah its time for the vampire news." Seth said as he entered a code on the remote.
"Why vampire news dad?" Annemarie asked all ready board.
"Cause I wanna see if anyone else has felt this odd presence. Seth said as he listened to Sean look for the fridge.
"Where's the hidden fridge?" Sean asked looking around.

"Its hidden." Seth said with a chuckle.
"Well duh you asswhipe." Sean said.
"Here I will show you." Seth said as he got up and went into the kitchen. Seth opened the hidden refrigerator. "Here you go." Seth said as he went back into the living room.
"Well that is quite clever." Sean said as he grabbed a small bottle of blood. Sean went into the living room and sat down next to Seth.

[Evil Tink]

They nodded and Serus teleported them to the Antinori Mansion study. Jaelynn was unaware they were there, since she was so focused on the report she was reading. She let the twins go with a nod.

The two jumped forward, tackling Jaelynn out of her chair.

Jaelynn was blindsided by two little children and fell form her chair, "Serus Marie Antinori! What the fuck!" She threw the kids off her, hurling Aria at Serus.

Serus caught Aria with a laugh, "Jaelynn watch your mouth around the kids!" She set Aria down, "You two can go play with the other kids, but do not get out of hand." She sighed as the kids left, "We think something bad is going to happen at Seth's house. For the past few hours I've been able to detect a presence lurking in the shadows. I'm sorry, but this is the safest place I could think to bring them. I promise they'll be good. Please?"

Jaelynn's eye twitched, "It's..alright. I understand. If they touch anything, I'm throwing them on the street. I don't care." She was slightly worried, "Can you identify it?" She frowned as Serus shook her head.

[Bovice]

"Well no one has felt the presence." Seth said as he turned the TV off. "Felix? Contact me damn it." Seth said as he leaned his head back.
"Seth you need to relax." Sean said as he patted Seth on the shoulder.
"How can I relax when my family could be in danger." Seth said looking at Annemarie.
"How could we be in danger dad?" Annemarie asked kind of upset.

"Do you remember those vampires from New York?" Seth asked as he crossed his arms.
"Oh ya... Oh..." She said really worried.
"Ya." Seth said with a sigh. "But this thing is worse." Seth said adjusting his legs.
"Don't worry Seth I will stay here until you get it cleared up." Sean said with a smile. "No lets have a drink." Sean said as he got up.
"Can I have some?" Annemarie asked sinking in the chair.

"Hahaha, fine you can have just one but don't tell your mother." Seth said as he stood up.
"Seth, she's only sixteen." Sean said a little surprised.
"I know she is but one drink wont kill her. Plus she will have the wine." Seth said as he grabbed the wine out of the fridge.
"Fine." Sean said as he poured two glasses of scotch.
"Hey if you remember you gave me alcohol when I was fourteen." Seth said wanting to stick out his tongue.
"Ohh ya, I was hoping you wouldn't remember that." Sean said with a chuckle.

"You may be seven years older than me but I do remember everything." Seth said as he poured Annemarie a glass of wine.
"Hey now don't make fun of me because of my age." Sean said with smile.
Seth laughed, and took a drink of scotch.
