Mystic took Holden's hand gently, repairing the bones for him, I had not met Solomon until the day he woke up from his coma...I knew nothing about it. However, I did see how he died, but not the why. You never asked me, so I never told you. Besides, Solomon had to get over it and tell you himself. " He looked to Melody, "You should be fine for a few more hours, did you want to stay with Holden for awhile then?"

Melody nodded, 'If I could, please? I also have to apologize to Solomon.' She stood rather well for a moment as Mystic set her down. She made her way over to Holden, having to grab onto him for support for a moment before she let him go.

Mystic smiled, "I told you Melody, either way Holden, I must be off. Azriel and I would like to figure out a permanent solution for her." He bowed slightly and disappeared.

When Mystic was gone, she looked up to Holden, 'You're not going ot poke and prod me are you? That creepy white haired vampire kept doing that and it made me feel..bad..' She of course, was referring to Serus. 'Not that I don't like her, it was just creepy.'

[Bovice]

"Thanks Mystic." Holden said as he picked Melody up. 'No I'm not." He said with a small smile. 'I was just sitting out here and thinking.' He said with a sigh. 'I'm sorry I couldn't save you.' He said as he walked back over to the tree. When he made it to the tree he set Melody down, then he himself sat down leaning up against the tree. "You can ask me anything you want, or we could just sit here and enjoy the peacefulness." Holden said with a smile.

[Evil Tink]

'Good..cause I wanted to bit her stupid finger off.' A slight pout came upon her cheeks as she crossed her arms. After a moment of seething, she relaxed, 'What happened..that day?' She angled her head a bit so she could see his face better. She then leaned on him, watching the world before them, 'Umm..don't answer that. I don't want to know. Mystic said it was bad. I just want to relax here.' She smiled up at him, her eyes following a random flock of birds in the sky for a moment.

[Bovice]

Holden laughed a little bit, "Serus is a weird one." He said with a little growl. He put his arm around Melody, "It was very bad. And good in a little bit I will bring you to Solomon, so you could apologize to him if you still wish." He said with a little sigh. "Not that he would accept the apology." Holden said crossing his stretched out legs.

[Evil Tink]

She nodded, agreeing with him. She remained still for a moment before asking, 'Is he still mad at me?' She stretched out her legs, twisting her feet so her shoes clacked lightly on each other. 'What do you think I can do to make him less angry with me?'

[Bovice]

Holden looked at Melody's hands, "I don't know if he is." He said watching the girl intently. "Well that is the age old question, just like how can I forgive him for what he did?" He said with a sigh. "No offense to you, but I just wish there was someone I could talk to about this. Alicia's going through the turning process, Seth is god only knows where." He said with a sigh. "That is the thing about technically being dead, you have no one to talk to." He said with another sigh. "Not that I don't mind talking to you." Holden said with a smile.

Seth sighed, "Serus we should probably got home, the twins are going to be home from school soon." He said looking at Serus.

[Evil Tink]

She turned to face Seth, "You're right...can you believe that they're going to graduate soon?"

Melody frowned, 'I'm sorry I couldn't be of any help Holden.' She looked down slightly, her hair falling to cover her face. 'I'm only a bother again..aren't I? He's going to get really mad and yell at both of us some more...isn't he?'

[Bovice]

"Don't remind me." Seth said standing up. "I have a feeling Holden is going to want to talk to you." He said walking over to Serus. "Well we will see you soon Azriel." He said with a smile as he put his arm around Serus. "Love you hun." Seth said to Serus as he teleported them back to Wisconsin.

"Its not your fault." Holden said with a smile. "You aren't a bother, and you never were." He said picking her head up. "If he yells, I will yell right back." He said placing a kiss on her forehead. "Life is just complicated. And to make it even more complicated, we are four souls in someones body, and in your case a marionette doll." He said with a sigh. "Sorry if that sounded mean." He said rubbing her shoulder. "Look at it this way, at least you didn't have another soul ripped from your body while you were in it." Holden said with a sarcastic chuckle.

[Evil Tink]

Serus frowned, "I don't want to talk to him. He's whiny..." Once they appeared in the study at the Manor, she let him go, "You do it."

'At least you have a body!' her arms moved rather quickly while she signed angrily, 'I'm stuck in this..toy..I can never have a "normal" life! Mystic said so...'

[Bovice]

"Ohh no." Seth said waving his hands. "This is all you." He said pointing at Serus. "We will talk to him together?" Seth asked holding out his hand.

"Sorry.." Holden said as he felt a radiation of power. "Come with me, I need to talk to someone." He said standing up. He quickly and gently picked up Melody. He ran into the house, "Seth?" Holden yelled.

Seth looked back, "Up here!"

[Evil Tink]

Serus frowned, "But I don't want to..." She sighed, looking back as Seth called out ot Holden, "You do the talking."

Melody put her arms around Holden's neck as he held her. She wished she could speak. She recognized Seth's voice from when she was with him and Mystic. She also had a feeling that that creepy Serus would be here as well. She situated herself so she could sign to Holden quickly, 'I don't want to go by her again. She stares at me.'

[Bovice]

"Fine, even though this isn't the big bad Serus I fell in love with." Seth said with a smile.

"I'll tell her not to stare." Holden said as he ran up the stairs. He tripped up a little bit, but caught himself. He ran into the study and leaned on the door jam. "Well I forgot how much running takes out of ya." He said breathing hard. "Ok, um Serus. You already know but I wanna talk to you. And can you promise not to stare at Melody? She doesn't like it." Holden said walking into the study, and shutting the door.

[Evil Tink]

Melody gave Serus the stink-eye, doing a rather rude gesture in sign.

Serus's mouth hung open, "D-did you see that?" She looked to Seth, then back to Melody. She twisted her hands rapidly; commenting back. "And I don't stare, I analyze. Get used to it little girl." She put her hands in her pockets to prevent her from saying other rather rude things. "Oh would you look at that! Jaelynn requires my assistance..Sorry Seth." She grinned, giving him a quick kiss and disappearing.

Melody looked at Serus astonished. That was just mean. She looked back to Holden with a pout, 'Did you see what she said to me?!'

[Bovice]

Seth nodded holding back laughing. "Damn it Serus!" He said as she disappeared. He growled, "Holden, Melody sit right there. I will be right back." He said as he disappeared. He appeared next to Serus, "Serus Marie Antinori! You and Jaelynn are at each others throats right now. So I know she doesn't need your help right now." He said grabbing her shoulders. He teleported them back to the study, he forced her to sit in a empty chair. He wrapped her in TK so she couldn't move, "Now you are gonna sit here and answer any questions Holden has, got me?" He said as his eyes flashed red. Seth walked behind Serus and put his arms on her shoulder's suppressing her power.

Holden chuckled, "Yes I did." He said as he sat in a chair. He waited for Seth to return.

[Evil Tink]

Serus squeaked as she was forced into the chair, "It's not my place to tell him! That's for Solomon." She grabbed onto his shoulders and flipped him over onto his back on the floor, "Let go.."

Melody jumped a bit as Serus was suddenly back in the room. She had to wrap her arms around Holden's neck to support herself. She watched with silent amusement as the two glared at each other.

[Bovice]

Seth grunted as he flipped onto the floor. "No." He said with a wince.

"Solomon already told me that you killed him Serus." Holden said wincing a little bit. "I'm not mad at you for ripping out his heart. Because I know he forced you to do it." He said taking a breath. "Even though I am the one who actually ripped it out, by asking him to kill me..." He said looking down at the floor. "I want to know what you wanted to talk to him about that day." He said looking at Serus. "Please tell me the truth Serus." Holden said with a slight frown.
