Jaelynn waved, obviously pausing mid-lecture to Serus, "But you can influence it Serus. And knowing you, you can do that very easily. Is it so hard to teleport to the area and dick around down there? Honestly, you have got to stop this. Seth's not the only one irritated at this."

Aria nodded, quietly sulking out the room, looking up at her father, her hair covering her eyes a bit.

Serus sighed, "I know, but..you know me. I don't get to 'dick around', as you call it, anymore. And when I can, I just..can't help myself. I used to do the same thing with you when you were younger. We would have so much fun.." She smiled, trailing off.

"And that's what drove dad insane as well. You have a knack of doing that. You better knock it off before you drive Seth away as well. I know you two love each other more than anything, he can only handle one 'Serus', as with the rest of us." She placed a hand on Serus's shoulder, "Really..stop."

Serus let out a groan, "Why is it that I'm always being lectured by you or Felix? Aaahh, very well. I will try to cut down on the destruction. But you know, 10 years without someone to kill is very boring. I have nothing else to do but deal with everyone else's whining..."

Jaelynn shook her head with a laugh, "Well, if you weren't some dumbass would be Council Head and we would not be were we are now. We'd be in a world of chaos like before."

Seth sat down. "Ok kiddo, you know I love you right?" Seth waited for her response. "I want you to try and settle down, ok if you wanna play with your mother go out into the arena." Seth said moving her hair out of her face. "Ok?" Seth asked kissing her on the forehead.

[Evil Tink]

Aria nodded, trying to not cry, "She started it..she's always taking my ribbon and running off with it." She touched it, just to make sure it was still there.

Serus nodded, "Yeah..I know..Ah crap..apparently, I'm needed." She hugged Jaelynn, "See you later. Oh! Afterwards, I want you to update me on the Coven. I haven't heard a report in awhile." With that, she disappeared.

Jaelynn sighed a bit but nodded, "Of course." She left the kitchen, heading into the dinning room where Seth and Aria were, "Serus got called in..she hopes to be back for dinner."

[Bovice]

"Come here." Seth said as he opened his arms. "Thanks Jae. Wanna have a drink?" Seth asked pointing at the bottle. Seth gave Aria a hug. "If you have homework go and finish it ok." Seth said as he went to grab a couple glasses out of the cupboard.

[Evil Tink]

Aria nodded, hurrying back to the table to continue her homework. It would not take her long to do.

Jaelynn nodded, "Aw hell, why not. Want to know something strange?" She followed Seth, her hands clasped behind her back, "I've never had alcohol before. In over 400 years, not a drop." She laughed, "Luckily, I can't get drunk now that I'm a vampire. I'd be so embarrassed."

[Bovice]

"Ha I wish I could get drunk. Seth said as he poured a little bit for Jaelynn. "Help me Jae I feel like I am trapped, its the same thing almost everyday Serus and Aria break some thing then they break something bigger and I find myself drowning my self in scotch." Seth said as he walked into the other study. "Also Annemarie is just all over the spectrum. I just don't know what to do anymore, really there is only one child that is good all of the time and that is Lexie." Seth said as he blocked the room off from any of the children. He took a seat and drank the rest of his glass of scotch. He opened a secret compartment on the wall to grab another bottle of scotch.

[Evil Tink]

Jaelynn laughed, blocking their voices from leaving the room, "Seth, really, you need to stop. Serus is just enjoying herself again. Her and I would do the same thing when I was younger..and it also drove my father nuts. It's not just you, trust me." She downed a shot wincing at it's taste, "Ick! How can you drink this!?" She set the empty shot glass down, not daring to refill it.

"Serus doesn't get to have..fun anymore. You are on the council, but your duties are a lot easier than hers, no offense. Sometimes, I sense her stress levels get so high, if she were human, she'd have died of a heart attack years ago." She followed him to the study, placing her hand gently on his shoulder, "It's just her release, unfortunately. Just be thankful, I guess, that she's not out getting herself hurt. I'm sure things will let up."

Suddenly there was a noise and the two girls screamed. After a few moments of silence, there was laughter and running around. Kitra let out a snarl, chasing after the girls, "When I get my hands on you two!" She lunged forward, grabbing Lexie, who quickly slipped from her grasp.

"Oh my...is there ever a quiet moment in your house?"

[Bovice]

"You get used to it." Seth said with a slight smile. Seth sighed. He heard Kitra in the living room. "Please I wish." Seth said very frustrated. "Why twins I will never know." Seth said as he teleported to the living room. "Kitra can you please not do that?" Seth asked as he pinched his nose. "I don't know I swear sometimes I wish I would of died." Seth said under his breath, and walking out of the room.

"Annemarie what do you want for supper?" Seth asked knowing that she wouldn't answer him. "Just fucking great." Seth said as he opened up the door. "What do you want Sean?" Seth asked extremely annoyed.
"Can't I come and see my brother and nieces?" Sean asked with a smile.
"They are in the living room." Seth said opening the door and letting Sean in. "I am going to take a shower so you three be good while I am in there." Seth said to all of the kids.

[Evil Tink]

Aria jumped onto Kitra's back, knocking her to the floor, "Who do you think you are?! Give that back! Mommy gave that to me!" Her tiny hands came around Kitra's neck, grabbing at the little bow in her hands.

Kitra laughed, grabbing Aria with her free hand and flinging her to the couch, "Oh I don't think so. Your mom told me you have to take it back. And that you're supposed to practice your telekinesis while we're at it. Both of you." She teleported outside, crouching in a tree, waiting.

Lexie and Aria hurried outside, glaring up at Kitra as they tried to slice the tree in half.

Jaelynn sighed, her hands shaking as she rubbed her temples, "Lord help me. I pray I never have to babysit them." She looked around, hunting down Annemarie, crossing her arms, "You and I need to talk Anne."

[Bovice]

Seth heard the twins outside. "For goodness sake." Seth said as he got in the shower. "I just wish I could curl up in a ball and die." Seth said as he hit his head on the wall, cutting himself. "Great." Seth said as he saw his blood drip on the shower floor.

"Damn it dad." Annemarie said grabbing her head. "What do you want Jaelynn?" She asked not even looking up from her magazine.

[Evil Tink]

"I'm not here to lecture you Annemarie, but really, what the hell?" She crossed her arms, closing her eyes and shuddering at the noises outside. "They're just like her.." She quickly calmed herself, opening her eyes, "What is going on with you? I don't understand why you've...turned out like this. I'm not trying to pry, or be nosy, but is there something bothering you?"

Kitra jumped down from the tree as it began to fall backwards. She landed hard on the ground, rolling to prevent her bones from breaking. She quickly stood and ran away as Aria chased her.

Lexie remained, pondering for a moment. Her mother said that her brain was her greatest asset. Her face beamed as an idea came to her head. She brought her hands up with a stomp, sending four walls of earth around Kitra and Aria. "Oopsie! Sorry sis!"

Aria grinned, taking the ribbon from Kitra as they were trapped by four earthen walls, "I win!" She stuck out her tongue and tied the ribbon back in her hair as the walls suddenly crumbled.

[Bovice]

Seth got out of the shower. "Really Lexi? That was quite good." Seth said to himself as he dried off. Seth got dressed and walked down stairs. "Time to start supper I guess." Seth said as he looked at his watch.

"Nothing's wrong other than it seems like dad is always yelling at me. The twins are taking away all of the attention. "It also feels like I never see dad." Annemarie said holding back tears.

[Evil Tink]

Jaelynn frowned, sitting next to Annemarie, "They are a handful, but it's not only their fault. A lot has been going on between covens and the council has to get involved before something bad happens." She shuddered, unable to believe she was going to offer this. "How about.." she began through clenched teeth, "I take the twins for a week...so you can..have some time..with..Seth" Her eye twitched as she tried to fake a smile.

Kitra sighed, "Darn, you're awfully quick for your human stage. Congratulations. Now then, Lexie, you and I have some work to do. From what your mother says, you have some emotion abilities."

Lexie hurried over and nodded, "Mmmhmm...she calls it..umm..empathic manipulation..or something." She followed Kitra to the patio, sitting down with her. "Can you do that too?"

Aria scrunched her nose and stomped off inside. She went into the kitchen, sensing that's where her father was off to. When he got there, she smiled, "Can I help? Kitra is helping Lexie with her powers."

[Bovice]

Seth walked into the kitchen and jumped a little when Aria talked. "Of course you can kiddo." Seth said with a smile. Seth grabbed the stuff to make meatloaf. "Here you cut the onion." Seth said putting the onion in front of Aria. "Now be careful with the knife." Seth said as he put the knife down in front of her. "How is your telekinesis coming along?" Seth asked as he cut some garlic.

"I don't think dad and mom would say ok to that, and I know you really don't want to do that." Annemarie said as she crossed her legs. "Maybe dad can take the day off tomorrow and me and him can talk and catch up. Do you think he would go for that?" Annemarie asked.

[Evil Tink]

Jaelynn let out a huge sigh, "God I'd kill myself if I had to watch those two. More than likely, he would. I can take his spot on Council for a day or so if you guys wanted to take a small vacation. Serus wouldn't mind. I think he'd really enjoy a little vacation. Yeah?"

Suddenly Serus's voice echoed in the room "You love them and you know it Jae..don't lie"

Aria nodded, picking up the knife and carefully cutting the onion. She sniffled a bit as the fumes made her eyes water, "Daddy, why do onions make you 'cry'?"

[Bovice]

"To tell you the truth I really don't know." Seth said with a smile as he put the garlic in the bowl. "Listen kiddo I am sorry for yelling at you like I did earlier today." Seth said as he put the rest of the ingredients in the bowl. "You are just so much like your mother." Seth said looking at her. "I just want you to be less destructive," Seth laughed. "Soon after me and your mom met two people attacked us on my coven's roof and she totally destroyed the attic." Seth said whipping away a tear. "Oh boy, fun times." Seth said looking at Aria. "Crap." Seth said to himself. "Sean are you staying for supper?" Seth asked feeling sorry that Kitra took over the twins.

"Really Jaelynn you would do that?" Annemarie asked very excited. "I am sure he would." Annemarie said with a smile.
