"Oh don't worry dear, I can take care of myself." Amelia begins walking up the stairs, then stops as she inspects the banister, "You apparently haven't changed your habits, you always pick some of the dullest decor for your home. You should have gone for a lighter stain color than this, it looks dreadful."

"I just bought the house and didn't bother updating it, not that it really matters. You and your tendencies for keeping up with the latest trends. I don't really like having a bunch of humans in my home working on it if you don't mind. And don't even think about trying to change everything yourself, I'm having guests later tonight."

"I take it you want me to hide away where I can't be found? If they have a nose as good as your's that will be hard, they'll smell my scent as soon as they walk near the door. Might as well let me join in too!"

"Don't make me send you to the local inn, you know I can. And it would be in your best interest not to meddle." Isaac, REALLY doesn't want her here, but he knew it was useless to argue with her.

"You do that and I'll fill your beakers with garlic and onions." He scrunches his nose up at that while she gives him a wicked grin.

[Rozen]

Faye just listened and watched the interaction between the two. She was rather used to the decor in the house, never really gave it any thought but she would hate to see it go since she was here most of her life and saw the same decor since she lived here. That was one thing she definitely agreed with Isaac about not wanting to change anything.

Hearing the bickering between them just really got to her. She was upset with this Amelia for threatening to fill his beakers up with garlic and onion. "I-I live here too and I will be able to smell it all the way up here and I won't appreciate that at all! All you've done is be mean to him, you're just bullying him, no wonder he doesn't want you in here, you being rather mean and very rude! First you force him to take you on as his study and then you force your way in here and all you've done is be rather rude!"

Faye then blushed and felt like the rude one for getting on her. "I'm deeply sorry. I know I should respect my elders." Looking at Isaac, she wondered what he thought. "If she does fill them up with garlic and onions, I will take it out for you." She gave him a smile.

[ml1201]

"Hm...? I am? That thought never really occurred to me..." Amelia was confused, as if no one has told her this before.

"Amelia is a noble by birth, that's how she was raised, I've tried to break her of that behavior to no avail. Then again I wasn't so straight forward with her about it either." Isaac couldn't help but smile at Faye for speaking up, since it stunned Amelia.

"So wait, you mean no one else does all this work to keep up with everything? Now I understand why you always got so annoyed with me when I was your student, I thought that was normal! Hm...That might also be why my husband has been asking me to hold back on the redecorating then...Well, that being the case, I'll stay out of the way tonight, however you seem tired, have you been starving yourself again? Honestly, come here and have some of my blood, I still have enough vigor to give you enough to get by." Sighing he reluctantly goes over to her, Amelia having offered him her wrist.

He bits down into the portion of her arm just above the wrist, Amelia flinching in pain, and visibly shivering. When he's done he licks the wound shut and steps back, "Seems like you've gotten better at drinking human blood, I wonder why that is. Anyways, its always weird feeling your blood being drained, gives me the creeps every time. I'm heading upstairs now, I'll be down before sunset to make myself dinner and take it to my room. No need to worry about me." Slowly, she makes her way up to the second floor, finding the guest room and making herself at home for the night.

Exhausted mentally Isaac sits down on the couch himself, "To think all I had to do was yell at her and she would have stopped all those years ago. I'm such a fool."

[Rozen]

Faye was utterly shocked at the sight of Isaac biting Amelia. It had made her so upset seeing that, that she gave a good glare at him. "I thought you said you were going to go out to get blood! But you just take it from anyone who offers. It doesn't mean anything to you does it?!" She gave him a slap before walking to her bedroom. She didn't understand why it made her so upset to see Isaac do that to her, maybe because they knew each other for such a long time, yeah that had to be it. What else could it be? Maybe it was just the sheer shock of actually witnessing him bite a human and not her? Why did it make her heart throb to watch it. They weren't close by any means of the word but they had known each other for so long. Or maybe they were actually closer than to what he had lead her to believe which made her heart throb even more. Even though she was an old lady, it was breaking her heart to see him o that to her. And in actuality, he's the one who's older than her, she only looks old. She was more closer to his age than she was.

Faye curled up in her bed with her arms wrapped around her legs as she contemplated about everything. Never in her life had she had this weird feeling within her. She didn't even know exactly what it was that she was feeling. She really wished that she could get rid of this heart-wrenching feeling.

[ml1201]

Shocked, Isaac just stares at her, not sure what he had done to upset her so. Drinking Amelia's blood just meant they wouldn't have to waste time going out to find him blood and able to get ready for their guests later. Maybe it was how he drank the blood? But if Faye was concerned about how it looked like wouldn't her drinking from the young man's arm seem more intimate because it was closer to his neck? Sighing he decides to talk to her, find out why it was bothering her.

Reaching Faye's room he knocks on the door as he looks into the room, a look of puzzlement on his face, "Faye, I know you're upset but I don't know why. All I did was drink Amelia's blood, which its normal for me to drink human blood. The fact that I'm used to drinking human blood means that when you were a child I drank blood from other people more often so that I wouldn't make you a victim of my thirst. Drinking human blood is not supposed to mean anything but nourishment to a vampire's body, but I couldn't stand the thought of possibly hurting you if I were to have drank your blood before the change." He grips his vest where his heart is, letting out a sigh before looking up at her again. "When I first saw you as a child I nearly broke down right there, you looked so much like my little sister my heart felt like it would break if you were to come to any harm. That's also the other reason why I never told you anything before this, though thinking about it I probably should have said something sooner."

[Rozen]

Faye glared angrily at Isaac as he came up to talk to her. He just wouldn't understand so she would have to MAKE him understand. Her eyes turned a golden color as she stared at him. "I don't care who you drink blood from EXCEPT for HER! I much rather you drink blood from me than her! Why do you have to drink her blood? Is there something wrong with mine?! Do I dissatisfy you that much that you much rather drink from her than me? Does Amelia's taste much better, is that why you didn't want any of my blood? An you kept so much from me!" She yelled at him. It was clear that her wolf self was out and in charge of this situation as she yelled at him. "You could have told me something! Even now that I'm older! Or do you see me as a child because I'm just eighteen?! To us humans...to humans, I am considered an adult! See for yourself!" She ripped the top part of her dress off to prove how womanly she was.

Realizing that her anger had gotten the better of her, her face blushed deeply as she pulled the ripped dress around herself as she avoided looking into his eyes. Her eyes went back to their normal shade of blue. What had gotten into her? "I-I'm sorry, that was very inappropriate, I on't know what came over me. I-I don't know why I feel like this, why my heart is just throbbing at the mere thought of you biting into Amelia's neck. I-I just...d-don't understand." She cried, she actually hated crying but she couldn't help it since her life was just turned upside down. She didn't know which was was up, down, left or right.

[ml1201]

Faye talking to him like this came as a complete shock to Isaac, his eyes going wide in surprise. He couldn't get a word in before she ripped part of her dress up, needless to say he turned crimson, quickly turning his back to her. Her being upset was upsetting him now, but everything she was saying did but didn't make since to him. First she was upset about him drinking other people's blood in general, but now she's upset about him drinking Amelia's blood, but he never drank from her neck, just her wrist.

"It's alright Faye, you're probably still upset about everything that's happened, and feeling frustrated about it all. But I never bite Amelia on the neck, ever. I don't normally do that, I just tend to drink from a person's arm. Though I think I should leave so that you can calm down, it seems me being here is what's upsetting you most..." He shuts the door behind him, not wanting Amelia to poke her nose in there while Faye was in such a state.

Reluctantly he leaves Faye to get food ready for the guests later that night, but his mind wasn't really on it. The smell of burning food drew Amelia's attention since she was on her way down to make her own dinner.

"Now this is a first, I've never seen you burn food before, not unless it was in a beaker." Isaac doesn't respond, just tosses the wasted food into the bin to be made into compost. "Move aside, what were you trying to make?" Amelia grabs his arm and gently moves him away from the stove, taking the pan from him and cleaning it quickly to make something.

"I was going to make medium rare stake, stuffed chicken and a salad." He looks about ready to hide in a corner and sulk, but doesn't want to be rude to Amelia since she's offering to cook.

"That's a lot of meat, you're guests must really like their protein. You get the chicken stuffed, I'll get the salad ready. If you're making medium rare steak you never cook it first anyways. Such a simpleton you are today." While cutting up the salad she accidentally nicks her finger, mumbling rude things about knife makers under her breath.

"Clumsy as ever it seems," taking a look at the finger its only a shallow cut, so he gives it a quick lick to stop the bleeding and start healing.

[Rozen]

Faye didn't want this conversation to end! It was obvious Isaac was listening to nothing of what she was telling him, she wanted to keep talking to him until he understood exactly what she was saying. Getting up, she put on a new dress and threw the other one away. She made her way down stairs but had to cover her nose up well before then. Something was burning badly. As she made her way to the kitchen to see what was going on, she saw Isaac lick Amelia's finger. Her eyes were golden again as she snatched Isaac away from her. "You heard NOTHING of what I was telling you! NOTHING! I can't believe you did that after I told you not to! I don't want you sucking her blood! You can have a stranger's blood, or my blood just not Amelia's! You can't! Use your ears when I'm speaking to you!" She told him. "Or is it that you just don't care about my feelings? I don't care if it's from the neck, from the arm, finger, where ever, DO NOT DRINK HER BLOOD!" She yelled at him. Tears began to fill her eyes as her feelings were hurt that he just ignored everything she told him. She slapped him good and hard before running back up to her room.

Isaac didn't care about her feelings, he didn't care about anything now that he had Amelia. He had the person he truly wanted back in his life. She locked her door and wasn't planning on coming out for the rest of the night, or even the rest of her life It was a much better option than seeing those two so happy and letting him rink her blood or heal her wounds. Looking at the window, she then looked at the door. First time she left she was turned into this hideous creature. Maybe the second time something good might come out of it. She wasn't about to stay here and watch those two, it was sickening.

[ml1201]

Startled, Isaac looks to Faye eyes wide in surprise, once again not really having a chance to say anything to her before she went on a rage again.

"Oh dear, I think she's misunderstanding something here. And you're probably too locked up tight to even notice what's going on here." Amelia sighs and shakes her head.

"She seems to really hate you for some reason and I don't know why, you hadn't done anything to her." His eyes have a sad, rejected look about them, he didn't look at Amelia at all, he just stood there looking at the floor. Sighing, Amelia shakes her head again.

"You bloody fool! Even a blind man could see how she feels, after that fit of rage she had with you. If you can't figure it out yourself then I won't tell you, suffer for all the heart ache you're causing that poor girl. I in the mean while will explain something to Amelia, hopefully I can get her to see reason where as your inaction hasn't." She storms off, mumbling under her brother about heartless vampires, leaving Isaac alone to his confusion.

Finding what she believes to be Faye's room she knocks on the door, "Faye, its Amelia. We need to talk and get this settled, how you're treating Isaac is really not helping you at all."

[Rozen]

Faye was just about to leave when Amelia came knocking on the door. As much has she hated her, she decided to open up the door reluctantly. "What's there to get settled? He wants your blood, end of story, if he wants your blood, fine, I don't care." She said wrapping her arms around her herself as she went to start packing up her belongings. "You win, I'm done. I'm leaving. I don't need his help to control my bloodlust, I don't need those werewolves to help me control the wolf within me. I don't need anyone. I much rather be alone especially if I have to put up with seeing the two of you together!" She said as he loaded up a few items already. "You can tell Isaac, or whatever his name is, or whatever he wants to be called, that I will am leaving to never return. I guess you want him to turn you, stay looking like an old lady forever unless you just want to love him but die still." She didn't mean to throw insults at her but she just just so upset and she was obviously not thinking with a clear mind.

[ml1201]

Amelia crosses her arms and shakes her head, "See, that's the thing, I have no interesting in Isaac, and he has no interest in me. And here's the reason why, when I was younger and trying to get Edmond, or rather Isaac, to make me his student, I was merely using him for my own means. When I was a little girl my family arranged for me to marry another noble who's family has a lot of influence and money but their son has a breathing problem. So I was arranged to marry him for my family to get that power. As I grew older and realized what was going on I didn't like the fact that I would probably never have a family or be able to even try loving him, so I wanted to learn about medicines and what doctors do in order to care for him when we got married." She lets her arms hang down like they normally would, no longer crossing them.

"I started training with him when I was sixteen, and I got married when I was eighteen but stayed on until I was twenty-one for the training. The doctors were astounded that me, a woman, could learn about the medical field just so that I could take care of my husband. Thanks to Isaac I was able to have eight beautiful children with my husband, one of which happens to live near this town and I was on my way back home from helping my youngest through a hard child birth. Anyways, Isaac is completely clueless in understanding others' feelings, if you haven't noticed. He's always kept his emotion locked up, as if he was afraid of something, and today is the first time I've ever seen him sulk. All this nonsense about drinking my blood is moot because he probably thought he'd never see me again anyways. He skipped out of town when I had my first child, he made it quite clear that I wasn't allowed around anymore. Apparently the smell of my blood while with child made him ill, most likely the child's blood smelled way too good and he wanted nothing more to do with me because of it."

[Rozen]

Faye relaxed a bit but her eyes never stayed from the golden color. Her ears were perked up as she looked down at the bag she was packing. She then touched her stomach at the thought of having a child. Was he able to have children with her? Could they even have children? Shaking her head, her eyes went wide as to what he was thinking about. Having children with Isaac?! That was such a strange thought to have about him. She didn't understand her won emotions let alone Isaac. Maybe she was being too hard on him.

"Thank you, truly thank you. I guess I don't really understand my own emotions and I have no idea what I'm really doing. I'm quite surprised he hasn't tried to lock me up in a mental ward or something. I feel like I'm going crazy. Maybe being a mix o the two is just making me go crazy. I mean, I want blood but that meat, it smells so good. I wish I was either a vampire or werewolf, just be one. Though I much rather prefer to b vampire since I would still look human. I would just drink blood. I'm quite shocked that he never told me when I was growing up. You see, Isaac killed my parents, they were rather abusive because I got my little brother killed. He didn't want to hurt me because I looked like his sister. So if I didn't look like his sister, I would most likely be dead right now." Despite him raising her, she never once saw her as her father but more like a brother or guardian. More so a guardian than a brother but he did love her and was nice to her her whole life.

[ml1201]

Amelia smiles warmly at Faye, glad she was able to get through to her, "There's nothing wrong with your feelings dear, you just haven't figured things out for yourself is all. I guess in that regard you two are alike; anyways, if you're not really sure how you feel, then maybe the best thing for you is to spend time away from Isaac, maybe then he'll realize how much he cherishes you. Well, I've got to finish making the food, we don't need Isaac burning anything else." She closes the door again and makes her way back to the kitchen. "Honestly, why would I be interested in an old phogey like Isaac. Though I did learn something new, I never knew he had a little sister. He probably knew my eldest was going to be a girl, that fool locking himself away like that, no wonder he was always miserable."

Isaac has finished the salad by the time she's returned along with having stuffed the chicken. Inching away from Amelia when she comes over to see how well he's done.

"What's the matter with you, you're acting like I've got the plague..." He doesn't respond, but still keeps his distance. "You don't want to get yelled at again, do you. Alright, fine, run off somewhere and let me finish this, then I'll head up to my room. As useless as ever." Relieved that he doesn't need to stay he leaves the kitchen, wondering around the house until he reaches the patio that looks over the garden.

Laying down on the couch he watches the sun as it begins to fall lower in the sky, the sun finally taking its toll on him. Eventually he nods off, not being much of a day person to begin with.

[Rozen]

Spend time away from Isaac? She's never been away from him more than a few hours so how long was she talking about? Well, if it would take getting away from him for a few days to be able to sort out her feelings then so be it. If she thought rationally, she would know that Amelia wasn't a bad person. Hard to deal with at times but she had good intentions. But at the moment, her grain still saw her as a potential threat for what, she wasn't sure, but she could still be a threat.

Grabbing her things, she looked at her window knowing that she had to sneak out. But the small yet major problem was that she was on the second floor and it was rather quite high considering this was such a huge house and all, Isaac was a noble and all. She would need to hurry, the sun was setting and from what Alice had said, she would be turning into a wolf an time now. Maybe, using her vampire and werewolf powers, she would be able to safely land to the ground? She didn't have nothing she could use to climb down so she would have to test out her theory. Her heart was thumping as she got nervous at how high up she truly was. Her body was shaking but this was the only way without alerting Isaac that she was leaving. Finally, taking the leap of trust, she expected to full be injured, covered in scrapes and eventually obtain bruises and get broken bones but yet, she landed on the ground with ease like her body just naturally prepared for the landing.

Looking at the house, she giggled as she couldn't believe what she had done. She could have killed herself, well, actually seriously injured herself since she doubted a fall of any height would kill a vampire since they are immortal. She then began to walk, but she couldn't get anywhere fast enough before she fell onto the ground screaming out in pain as her body began to move its bones, muscles and other things as it was getting ready for the shift. She did her best to not scream out but that was impossible, she just hoped that Isaac didn't hear, she was very close to the house. She slowly began to take off her dress but whenever her bones moved and popped, she let out more screams. She did't want to ruin her clothing but she didn't have much control over her body and accidentally ripped it. This went on for a few more minutes, which seemed like a lifetime before Faye was a wolf. Her fur coat was the same color as her hair, black, and it looked rather soft and silky. She had a thick sort of long fur She was slender but her fur made her look a bit bulkier. The pain dispersed the second she was fully transformed and the sun had slept and the moon awoke.

[ml1201]

Startled awake for the second time that day Isaac looks around, quickly getting up and going to Faye's room. He doesn't stop to knock, but throws the door open, "Faye! What's right?" Then sees she's not in her room, instead the window is open looking over the woods.

"What is that girl thinking!?" He hears another scream, deciding the quickest thing to do was to jump out after her. He lends effortlessly, heights not being too much of an issue for vampires. Looking along the ground he tries to find tacks of something odd, not sure if Faye left on her own or if she were taken. Spotting odd looking tracks he decides to follow them, running as quickly as he can to try and catch up.

Soon he can make out what looks to be Faye's dress, but he couldn't tell if something was wrong, "Faye! What's going on!? Are you alright!?" As he gets closer he notices she seems to have more hair than normal, wondering if she might have transformed for the first time into a wolf. He was hoping that wasn't the case, the full moon wasn't for another few days and he wasn't sure what her wolf self would do.

[Rozen]

Faye looked down at her paws. She turned? Lowering her ears, she was getting frightened, she was so scared and just wanted to go home. Perking up her ears slightly, she heard Isaac's voice calling to her. She could smell his soothing scent and dashed over to him, he could see a five foot wolf coming towards him but not at a full sprint. "I-Im scared! I-I want to be human, I don't like what I am! Please, help me become human!" Faye didn't realize that her words were coming out as barks so Isaac wouldn't hear what she thought she was saying. She finally noticed that there was a bark in the background as she talked and slowly discovered that no words were coming from her mouth. Fear was overwhelming her as she whimpered. All the wolf could do was wait for Alice and Arden.

Soon enough, they had finally arrived and had knocked on the door waiting for someone to answer. "I told you that you would make u late!" The alpha huffed. The luna just gave him a glare. "Well I'm not going anywhere without applying makeup and jewelry! We have to blend in and that's what women of status does, they wear jewelry and makeup." She rebuffed. They waited at the doorstep waiting for someone to greet them hoping that they weren't too late than what Isaac was expecting.
