Solomon gave Holden a quick kiss back, "Alright..you know..I can take those out for you.." But Holden was already out the door. He cursed silently, standing up and looking to Hayden, "When we get back to London, I need to find Jack...he went with the horses..crazy fool."

She tilted her head, "Why'd he do that?"

"Cause he wanted to make sure they were properly cared for or something...I don't really remember what he said.." He brought Hayden to her feet by grabbing her hands and pulling her up, "I'm surprised you have reverted forms...you told me you didn't like this form." He smiled, giving her a quick hug.

She swatted him, "Don't take that tone with me! I've done a lot of 'growing up' as you always call it, in the past three and a half years..thank you." She raised her nose looking ot the side. "You know.." She looked back to Solomon with a serious expression, "He's going want to want Alicia and/or Amanda back...I'm almost positive about it.."

Holden headed to the stairs, he jumped and tripped to were he was going to fall down the stairs.

Seth suddenly appeared and caught Holden by the pants, "Your lucky, I came back." He said pulling Holden back and made sure he was on his feet.

"Thanks." He said panting.

"Your welcome, and you are not driving. Your coordination is really off, but you have been dead for four years." Seth said teleporting to his house in Wisconsin. "Now watch out my children are here and they might kill you. And I mean by tackling you." Seth said quietly as he led Holden to the front door.

Holden nodded, even though he was dizzy from the teleporting.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon nodded, "I know..but you saw what happened to Mystic this time around...I mean, it is his fault he refuses to let anyone help him, but still...I think there's something about it he's not telling us." He sighed, running his hand through his short hair with a frown, "I need hair dye..and about three months to grow it out..I hate it short..."

Hayden punched him playfully on the shoulder, "Stop complaining or I'll send you right back. Just get over it will ya? No matter what Holden says or does, you cannot allow him to get either of them back...I'm sure there's some law buried somewhere that we're breaking here.."

He nodded again, "I know I know...I'm sure Holden will understand that.." He lay back on the bed, staring up at the ceiling, "Hayden...I don't understand any of this..you were dead when I buried you...completely dead. I could sense no life in you whatsoever..what..happened? You have to know something..right?"

She crawled onto the bed, laying next to him and resting her head on his chest, "I honestly don't know Solomon...after..everything..I woke up a bit when you were trying to save me...then I passed out again. When I woke up, I couldn't sense you or anyone else and I contacted Serus and Seth somehow..." She closed her eyes, "All I remember is..just nothingness..."

"Seth stop complaining, I am gay. I have to take my time shopping." Holden said entering the room. "I should of asked Serus to come instead of you. At least she knows how to shop." He said with a sigh. "Hi love. So what do you think?" He asked spinning in place with four bags in his hands. He was wearing a pair of dark jeans, a gray tee shirt, a medium brown jacket, and a pair of gray and black shoes.

Seth rolled his eyes and sighed, he teleported to Serus. "The next time Holden wants to go shopping, you are going with him." Seth said crossing his arms in a huff.

"Oh ya, I bought you a few things." Holden said handing a bag to Solomon. "I think you would feel a little creeped out being in some strangers clothing. I know I did." He said with a smile. The bag had a black with white striped vest, a white shirt, and a black tie, as well as a dark gray pair of pants. "So what do you think about the clothes I got you?" Holden asked with a smile and his head tilted.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon teleported himself to in front of Holden, eying him with a devious smile, "I say, you look marvelous~" He took the items form Holden, glancing them over, "You know me too well~" He placed a kiss on Holden's cheek then went to change. A few minutes later he came out, looking upwards at his hair while the grabbed a lock, "I will never get used to this..after 500 years of black hair..I just..man this is weird..Hayden, next time you bring me back, get me black hair..alright?"

Hayden scowled, climbing to her feet, "I tried, alright! But all the men with black hair in London were way creepy looking..." She crossed her arms then began to fidget with her kimono. "I-I'm going to go help Anne...yes, Solomon, she's here. Serus hired her after you died. You should say hello sometime soon." She smiled and disappeared.

Serus burst out laughing, "Oh no, he can take Solomon next time. I hate shopping. Why do you think I have all my close custom made by the freaky guy down in Kansas?" She went back to reading her book.

[Bovice]

"Oh Solomon~" Holden said in a singsong tone. He pulled out a box and waved it in the air. "I though of that too." He said with a smile. "Black hair dye." He said still smiling. "Ahh what would you do without me?" He asked sitting on the couch. "Now come and get it from me." Holden said with a devilish smile.

Seth sat down next to Serus, "Maybe I will send Annemarie with him next time. Because he does need a woman's touch..." He said trailing off thinking of Alicia.

[Evil Tink]

He looked over, "You can't possibly hope to keep that from me, considering." His eyes glowed a bit as he appeared on top of Holden, pinning him to the couch by the shoulders, straddling him. With his free hand, he took the dye from him with a kiss to the cheek, "Told you~" He stood, examining the box carefully, "Hmm...this will work for awhile..until I see if I picked up some of Hayden's shape shifting..." He set it down on the table, sitting next to Holden, "How are you feeling?" He placed his forehead against Holden's, "You have a slight fever..perhaps you should rest?"

[Bovice]

Holden smiled, but it then turned to a frown, "I'm fine Solomon, trust me." He said with a fake smile. The truth was that he wasn't feeling good at all, he had a pain in the center of his chest, his back was killing him, he was short of breath, and he has been breaking out in cold sweats since he left with Seth. "I can't be having a heart attack." He though to himself as he went through the medical knowledge in his head. He shook it off, "I've been through worse. Now let me dye your hair, I used to do it for my dad all the time. He didn't like being gray at forty-five." He said rubbing Solomon's chest. "You know I miss your muscles, even though I haven't fully seen you." Holden said raising his eyebrow.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon took Holden's hands and placed them on the seat cushion's forcibly, looking Holden dead in the eyes, "Holden, you're lying to me. You're breathing is irregular and labored, your back is hurting, and to tell you the truth, your heartbeat is sounding rather grim." He placed his finger on Holden's heart, pushing on his chest slightly, "You're having a heart attack." "Seth you imbecile...you should not have made Holden carry his stuff...He was supposed to be taking it easy for a few days yet...Serus didn't experience this, as she was in a hospital and coma for eight ears, and I was in mine for two...he woke up instantly, he had no time to 'bond' properly."

He sighed, wrapping his telekinesis gently around Holden's heart, getting it to the proper rhythm before letting go. "You will rest. Understand?" He spoke in a firm tone as he lifted Holden from the couch and moved him to the bed. He lay down next to Holden, his eyes showing a bit of worry, "You're lucky I'm a vampire Holden..you could be dead in minutes..." He moved some of Holden's red hair from his eyes, "You have to be more careful Holden..you're not a vampire anymore."

[Bovice]

"I know Solomon, but he wouldn't let me carry it. The boy is stubborn." Seth said crossing his arms. "Damn it!" Seth said throwing his head back.

Holden was going to say something to Solomon but before he could he was on the bed. "I'm fine Solomon, I know I'm not a vampire anymore." He said as his skin got pale. "Don't be mad at Seth Solomon, I may be human but I can carry my own bags." He said giving a weak smile to Solomon. "You know I was thinking before I died the," He closed his eyes and thought. "Second time. I was thinking of dyeing my hair red." He said with a chuckle as he opened his golden eyes..

"Also this boy's heart was weak to begin with, and it doesn't help that a knife was jabbed through it." He said thinking for a second. He couldn't concentrate, "I read about putting a soul in a body from Alicia's dad's books." He said as he felt his arm go slightly numb. He suddenly got a huge headache, "Solomon, I ya um. A stoke I think I'm having." Holden said with slurred speech and a high level of confusion.

[Evil Tink]

"That's why you shouldn't have left in the first place! You never gave me a chance to tell you...and if you read up on it and know oh so much about the matter, then why the fuck did you leave anyway?" He narrowed his eyes, "Marvelous..a stroke..." He rapped Holden's forehead with his index and middle knuckles, using his telekinesis to dissolve the blood clot(s) in his brain and aid in blood flow. He also added a bit of water to Holden's blood to make it a tad bit thinner, "Anything else?" He was irritated, that much was obvious. "You should've kept him here Seth..." He would've love to give Seth a push with telekinesis, but he didn't have much power built up at the time being. For now, harsh words would have to do.

[Bovice]

When Holden felt his headache go away he looked at Solomon. "You really wanna know why I left Solomon? Because in the books I read, it said that people who wake up after a few minutes, from having their soul attached to another body, die. They die Solomon!" He said sitting up. "No matter how long they rest they die. Then again it shouldn't be possible to reattach a soul in the first place." He said as his heart beat quickened. "I wanted to get you something Solomon, and I did." He said as he weakly got up off of the bed and went over to one of the bags.

He pulled out a picture frame. He threw it on the bed, "You never had a picture of my real body." He said as his knees buckled. He quickly sat on the couch, "No wonder why that slayer had to kill me in the first place, I try to make everyone around me happy." He said with a scoff. "But I see that was all a pipe dream. I give and give.." He trailed off clenching his chest. "I wanted to come back Solomon, to see you. And then to find out you died, because you felt so guilty about my death, which was my fault. I just..." He started to say but he grabbed his chest again.

Holden started to cry, "You should have been able to move on Solomon. I wasn't that special." He said pausing for a second. "No wait I was special, I had my sister die in my arms. Because I was selfish." He said crying really hard now. "I do love you Solomon, I shouldn't be alive I deserve to be in the hell I was in." He said leaning back grabbing his chest. Suddenly Holden was gasping for air...

[Evil Tink]

Solomon waved his hand in the air, "You weren't being selfish Holden..it's done and over with any way so get over it." He stood, "They don't always die Holden! And if attachments weren't possible, tell me, how the hell am I here, hell, how is Serus still alive? She died just like we did, and to further amaze you she transferred her own spirit, by. her .self." He let out a low growl, going over to Holden and placing his hand over Holden's chest, opening his airways. "Im sorry but you're just too stressed right now." And with that, Solomon knocked him unconscious.

He stood up with a huff, throwing his hands into the air, "I knew something like this was going to happen. You" he turned, pointing to the unconscious Holden, "just won't ever learn to listen to me! You always deify me one way or another! Not to mention you of all people should know that I would never let you slip from my arms again!" He growled again, a few of the picture frames in the room cracked, the two vases broke sending the flowers and water inside to the floor, the windows cracked severely, but did not shatter and the room began to get colder. "Honestly Holden, why don't you ever just..listen to me.." He sighed deeply, falling into a chair, closing his eyes, "And now you got me yelling at your unconscious self because I don't want to upset you more at this moment..." He let out another heavy sigh, allowing Holden to wake up. Once he knew the boy could hear him, he muttered, "I'm sorry..."

[Bovice]

Holden opened his eyes, "I said they shouldn't be possible. I didn't say that they aren't possible Solomon." He said grinding his teeth. He always hated it when someone knocked him out. "Solomon, I... Damn it!" He said throwing his hands up. "I hate you... I can never stay mad at you, not even for five fucking minutes." He said crossing his arms. He sighed standing up, he instantly fell back down to the couch. "Great. Solomon can you come over here please, I can't walk right now." Holden said annoyed with his human body.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon looked over, "Then you should listen to me more often...and if you slap me, I'm knocking you out again." He stood and came over, sitting on the arm of the couch, out of arms length of Holden.

[Bovice]

Holden sighed, "I'm not going to slap you." He said with a tad bit of surprise. "Solomon you are way stronger then me, for christ sakes your a vampire and I'm a measly human." He said taking a deep breath. He grabbed onto the leather couch and pulled himself closer to Solomon. He grabbed Solomon's hand when he was close enough, "I'm sorry Solomon. For everything I have put you through." He said leaning his head on Solomon's hand.

"I am just really confused right now, I was dead for almost five years. And then all of a sudden here I am, in a stranger's body. Looking at the man I love, who coincidentally is in another strangers body." He chuckled. "Before I met you, I thought none of this was possible." He said with a smile. "Solomon, I... Damn it come here." He said pulling on Solomon's arm so that he would be sitting next to him on the couch. But he knew he couldn't pull Solomon onto the couch, Solomon was a vampire and Holden was not.
