Jason walked into the kitchen and looked down at the floor.

Holden smiled as he took the other bottle, "Ya I know, and you will tech me when you can. I don't want you to stretch yourself too thin." He said with a smile. "As soon as I get Jason into some type of schooling, I will have some more time. I think I might have to put him in public for now." Holden said as he took the top off of the bottle and drank it.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon shook his head, "A public school is not the proper environment for him. You should start small, maybe a small home schooling program or something of the sort. He needs to be gradually introduced into socialization, not thrown into it." He sighed, leaning on a chair, "I still think it's a very bad idea to keep him around Holden...they will find out; and all of us will pay for it."

[Bovice]

"If everything wouldn't of happened at school, Marsha was supposed to give me some information for home school." Holden said as he plced the empty bottle on the table. "He isn't a half Solomon. You saw his memory. But there has to be something that is making his body masking itself as a half." He said with a sigh. "Maybe you could..." Holden started to say but trailed off.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon pinched the bridge of his nose, "I know that. Regardless of what he is, they believe him and others like him to be abominations. The vampire world isn't a fair and forgiving world like your human world is. They don't care he if he's half, strigoi, or a vampir...he will be hated and hunted down simply because he is not a Pure. The Council is going to be amping up their efforts to rid the world of anything bu Pure vampires; and I'm afraid that includes yourself." Stress and aggravation were rolling off Solomon in intense waves.

Anne worked quickly, not wanting the kids to receive half melted ice cream. She finished off four sundaes in no time, having had made one for herself. She handed each of the kids a spoon and a bowl, then took her own and took a bite, "Rather refreshing after a hard day of baking~"

Hayden squealed, quickly taking a few bites of ice cream, "Mmmm! You are just so amazing Anne!"

[Bovice]

"Awesome, so you are saying within a year I could be dead?" Holden said with a sigh. "Is there just one council, or is there multiple ones?" He asked rubbing his hand through his hair. "If my kind is an abomination, then why doesn't the council outlaw Pure vampires like yourself from turning human's?" Holden asked slightly pissed at himself for calling himself an abomination.

Jason grabbed the bowl of ice cream and skittered back to where he was before.

Amanda really enjoyed the ice cram sundae. "Very yummy." She said with a smile.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon frowned, "It's already against Law...but you already know that I'm not one to abide by them." His frowned deepened, "I'll be damned if any one of them ever lay a hand on you. " He wished he knew someone close to Ya'lize; someone with influence.

[Bovice]

"That's why your so sexy." Holden said with a smile. "I know you wont love." He said leaning back in the chair. He sighed, "I wanna just ravage you." Holden said with a wink.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon grinned, "Boy, I know you want to do more than that~ But, alas, the kids are here.." He watched Holden for a moment, before face palming, "God! I'm such an idiot! Jeez! Holden, I think I know someone to help us...I have to warn you though..she's..very..dynamic. I've just contacted her and sh-" He was cut off as a woman appeared in the dinning room, her arms crossed over her black dress; seconds later a man appeared next to her.

The woman narrowed her red eyes at Solomon, "This had better be important to disturb us, Solomon. I've got a few issues back in America." She let out a sigh, her nearly white hair covering her eyes a bit. Suddenly, she jumped, quickly adjusting her hat as it had moved. With a smile, she went back to her hard stare at Solomon, her arms crossed over her chest.

[Bovice]

"Ok..." Holden said as he felt someone coming.

"Serus, be nice he helped us before. And those damn kids are driving me nuts." The man said rubbing his temples. "Especially Annemarie. She just has to make out with every single boy." He said finally looking to Solomon. "Sorry Solomon, so what do you need?" He asked with a smile.

Holden looked at the man, "He's cute but not as cute as my Solomon." He thought to himself.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon glanced at Holden, swatting him telepathically, "You watch it Holden, not only am I possessive, so is Serus." Solomon smiled a bit to Serus, "You haven't changed~ I was hoping that the..incident would've given you a new attitude towards life. but seeing as it hasn't, how have you been? I haven't heard from you since the take over about..what..eight years?"

Serus gave the Strigoi in the room a slight glare, "Hands off..I mean it." She gave Solomon a slight smile as he addressed her, "I'm doing good. I see your arm came back, that's good. Any issues with nerves? From the looks of it it's pretty solid. Other than that whole issue, things have been good...I have two wonderful daughters; twins.." The way she flatly stated it seemed like the was a bit..annoyed about them "And who is this~ Last I heard, you were single while in America. Where'd you find this one?" She shook her head, holding up her hand, "As much as I'd like to catch up, we should stay on topic. What is it that you need help with Solomon?"

He nodded, flexing his arm and fingers, showing no signs of misconnections and the likes, "Well, I didn't regrow it, I reattached it. It's not the first time I've lost a limb, and certainly not the last. Holden? Well, our friend Alicia set us up on a blind date and that's how that happened. Anyway, I was hoping you could enlighten me on the whole..issue about non-Pures. Why is the Head Council suddenly doing this?"

[Bovice]

"Yes ma'am." Holden said while he listened to Solomon and Serus.

"Holden?" Amanda said walking into the room.

"Crap, yes what is it Amanda?" He asked as he quickly swept the bottles off of the table and into his hands. He gently placed them on the floor and went over to Amanda.

"I'm tired." She said rubbing her eyes.

"Go lay down on the couch in the living room, I will get you when I'm ready to go." He said with a smile.

Amanda nodded and went to the living room.

Holden went back to the chair and sat down.

"Thanks for the complement Holden." Seth said with a smile. He leaned his head to the side to crack it. "Alicia Winters? Ah she is a good kid. Her father and mother are assholes. Wait honey, didn't they come in and talk to us about a human who knew of vampires." Seth said thinking for a second. "They have always had a problem with non-Pures. They think that they will expose us, and would bring and end to all vampires." He said with a sigh. "Strigoi's are ok in my book, I mean my best friend is one. Anyway I think I will let Serus take over, she is always better at explaining things then I am." Seth said as he took a seat in an empty chair.

[Evil Tink]

"Joesph and Jennifer are dead..." Solomon stated flatly as they were mentioned, "I killed her father and..she finished off her mother while I was getting Holden to a safe place." He sighed a bit, becoming rather tense as he sensed his sister nearby, "Oh no..dammit.."

Hayden hurried out and jumped into Solomon's arms, wrapping her own around his shoulders, "Anne is wonderful~ You should give her a raise~" She turned her head, noticing the two very powerful vampires in the room. She quickly hid her face; they had 'Council' written all over their minds. "S-solo..I..I thought you s-said..."

Solomon sighed deeply as he held Hayden, "They're not here for you; they're here to help me." He ran his hand through her hair with a smile.

Serus smiled a bit, "Solomon, I didn't know you had a da..wait a minute. That face." She gently turned Hayden so she could see the girl's face, "S-Solomon...y-you didn't..not even I would dare do such a thing. I thought she was..." She stepped back, sensing they were both uncomfortable, "Either way, it's good to see you two together again. Perhaps you can come play with the Twins the next time you visit America? I'm sure they'd love to meet you and get out of my hair."

She then began to address the matter, "Seth is right, the Romanians have always been wary of Strigois and Vampirs. They..do have cause though. Humans are not well known for their acceptance of a predator to their well-being; yet alone being able to handle becoming one. I'm surprised that Felix and Holden managed to make it through the change so easily. Most of the time, Strigois and Vampirs-after they turn 18- end up becoming so aggressive and blood crazy they have to..be put down so to say. It's very rare for two Strigois to have a child though, the woman's body just does not react well to having a human child in their system. More often than not, the child dies within two months after conception and a dried up carcass is then removed."

She sighed a bit, running her hand through her pale hair, "Not to mention; it's rather surprising that Jason made it past his parent's deaths. He should've been killed there as well, why he wasn't only the assassin knows. Yes Solomon, I know his name. I've been keeping tabs on him. He is a rather sweet child, for now at least." She glanced to Holden then went back to looking at Solomon, "The Council's aim is to get rid of any more risks to our race's secrecy and work on purifying the blood lines back to their original prowess. For example, all elementals in my clan are currently in the process of moving to either the Murai or the remnants of the Raksasha clan...and their Psychics are moving, and so on and so forth. Not only that, they're weeding out many of the weaker vampires, strengthening the lines and working on keeping only the ones with the clan's respective powers. It's just one huge fucking mess."

Hayden whined a bit as Serus grabbed her and examined her. Did everyone know of her? She pushed herself into Solomon, hiding her face.

Solomon sighed deeply as Serus spoke, "As I thought...Ya'lize just spontaneously did this? That's..well..actually that's typical of him. Is there anything we can do to stop it? Or at least, how can I protect Jason and Holden? You're devious, what can be done?"

[Bovice]

"Honey technically you aren't a pure anymore." Seth said teleporting next to Holden. He adjusted his eyes, "Ah you are very special boy. Your aura is remarkable." He said as he looked back at Serus. "Show me your teeth." He said opening Holden's mouth.

Holden felt odd that his mouth was pulled open. He did as he was told and grew his teeth.

"Ah remarkable." Seth said as his eyes brightened up. "You know what I'm gonna ask, don't you honey?" He said standing up and looking at Serus. He quickly teleported back by Serus. He sighed, "Damn it you three be good." Seth said with a growl. "Damn children." Seth said as his eye twitched.

[Evil Tink]

Serus frowned as Seth oh so kindly reminded her, "No shit Seth. I know that, and technically, I never was. Keiara turned me when I was 19; a very strange thing for her to do considering before I..was burned to death I was a witch; making me a Strigoi viu." She shrugged, she needn't go into details, Solomon knew a lot about her and vise versa after all. "Which is precisely why I'm against this motion, as is the entire American Council. England and Germany are also with us as far as I know; I'm still waiting for word from France, Africa and Australia. I haven't been able to contact the other countries yet." She sighed, "I'm sorry you were brought into our world at this time Holden, there isn't usually this much chaos. As for what can be done, well..you remember what happened in America, don't you?" She looked to Seth with a dark grin, "Yes, and yes."

Solomon tilted his head, "Ah, that's right, you're no longer a viu." "A Strigoi viu is a witch turned vampire. Very rare." he told Holden, to make sure he wasn't left completely in the dark. He looked back to Serus, "I do, but I'm not looking forward to participating...although, if I can get her," He motioned to Hayden, "under control, perhaps we will assist you."

Hayden sat up, a pout on her face, "I am in total control, thank you."

[Bovice]

"Yes, ah I missed fighting. Even thought Azriel kick our asses." Seth shuddered. "Hun, do you want me to go and talk to Jean-Pierre?" He asked. "Holden, do you speak French? Cause if you do I will need your help." Seth said looking at Holden.

"I see." Holden said still confused. "It's fine ma'am" He said feeling oh so out of place right now. "Yes sir I do." He said nodding.

"Ah sweet. Call me Seth, I don't like sir." Seth said with a smile. "Solomon, is it ok if I take him with me? You know he is in good hands." He said waiting for Solomon's response.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon shrugged, "It's Holden's decision. Either way, I speak Swahili as well as many of the other African languages Serus, I can come with you to Africa?"

Serus shook her head, "I'm fluent myself. I need you to stay here with Jason and your sister. I need to be sure those two are safe as well; especially Hayden; she will be one of our greatest assets...not to just use you for that Hayden." With that, she disappeared to continue talking to the other Councils.

Hayden frowned, "I'm not just a weapon Serus Antinori." Before she could say more, the strange vampire was gone. She sighed, hugging Solomon tightly, "I-I'm not..j-just a weapon." She sniffled, trying to hold back her tears.

Solomon held her close with a sigh, "No, you're not, and Serus knows, she's just..not very good with children. Her own have destroyed that...little bastards they are--no offense Seth."
