Holden listened intently, he got up and walked over to Solomon. He kneeled down, "I'm sorry." He said as he hugged Solomon. "I forget you are a lot older then me, and that you have seen a lot. I'm sorry I was so selfish, I just can't stand burying any more family." He said looking to Amanda. "Will you tell me about your older sister?" He asked as he laid down next to Solomon.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon wrapped one arm around Holden as he hugged him, "Don't worry about it Holden...sometimes I forget myself." He let him go to allow him to lay down, "Lorelienda?" He smiled a bit, "She was such a cute little girl. She just..had that face, you know? Not to mention, she had such bright, caring, green eyes while my other sister and myself have blue eyes. Unlike Hayden and I, she had brown hair, rather than black. Not really sure how that worked out, but you know what? She was just too damn cute for anyone to really care. She was such a sweet girl, always helping out someone.."

He frowned, his expression becoming distressed, "Karma has hated me since the day Hayden and I were born...I don't know why. Lorelienda did not deserve her fate..and to think, in just 9 years, she would've been immune to the disease.." He sat up, bending his knees and bringing them up to help him stabilize as he rested his head on his knees. He turned his head so he could look at Holden, "I remember, one day, I was out in the field with dad..but..what I was doing I simply can't remember..either way, she came out wearing my overalls and one of my dirty shirts..while it was..'wrong' for a girl to dress like that back then, it was just way too adorable. Mainly because my pants were actually just right for her. Very strange that girl.."

He was silent for a moment, trying to recall the particular moment as he realized his memory was so choppy, it sounded fake and awkward, "The only thing I hate about being immortal, is after so long, no matter what you do, you always forget something...and in my case, it's my family, even though everything else is crystal clear in my mind. Perhaps is my own psychological block to keep me from dwelling..who knows. Either way...I wish there were cameras back then..I would've loved to get a photo of that..it was so hilarious." He chuckled slightly, closing his dull grey eyes, "I wonder how..." he trailed off.

[Bovice]

Holden smiled as Solomon told him about his sister. He laughed when Solomon told him about the overalls. "I can help you with that Solomon. If you can somehow show me that memory I can paint or draw it for you. It would have to wait until we get back to England, because my stuff is there. But you should let me do that, so I can at least do one thing for you out of the hundreds of things you have done for me already." He said as he sat up and looked at Solomon.

He looked at Amanda and regretted the three years that he didn't care about her. "I don't know why I hated her for three years, Abby would be nine now. I have a picture of her." He said as he pulled out his wallet from his pocket. He pulled out the picture and handed it to Solomon.

"Seeing her was the highlight of my day back then, just seeing those almost lavender eyes made my troubles wash away, and the way she said daddy." Holden said putting his hand over his heart.

"Then she died, I put all of my effort into making Amanda happy. You wanna know something? Amanda walked into my room one day when my mother was gonna hit me with the lamp again. She jumped in front of me and told mom not to hit me. It was so sweet her sticking up for her screw up of a brother." He said with a smile.

"I was so afraid that mom was gonna hit her or something, that I told Amanda that mom was just helping me with something and I shooed her away. I couldn't stand it if she got hurt because of me. She may be my sister but I consider her my daughter, is that wrong of me?" Holden asked looking at Solomon.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon listened to Holden, glancing at the photo, "She's adorable." He shook his head slightly, "It's not wrong Holden..." He pondered over his offer to paint Lorelienda, but found he did not like that idea. He would almost rather forget about her like the rest of his family. "You're not a screw up Holden; your mother was."

[Bovice]

Holden sighed, "I guess the years of abuse still has its hold on me." He said with a small smile. "I should probably get her cleaned up, and I have to clean up Maggy, unless Alicia has taken care of that." He said knowing Alicia was listening on the other side of the wall.

Alicia walked into the doorway, "Well you are getting good at that, and yes I got Maggy cleaned up and Amanda's room to." She said with a smile.
"I don't know what I would do without you Alicia." Holden said with a smile.
"You would probably be dead, well actually dead." She said as she sat down on the chair.
"Probably." He said with a slight laugh. He stood up and walked over to Amanda. He checked her heartbeat and it was normal, he looked at Solomon, "You can go and feed, if you want." Holden said with a smile.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon sat there for a moment, "I will tonight." It was always easier to feed at night. Finally he stood, brushing off his clothes, even though he was still covered in blood. "Another set ruined..." He was going to make a comment about going around with out any clothes, but felt it was a bit too soon for such a thing..not to mention Alicia would go running. "I guess I'll shower first.." he looked to Holden, waiting to see if he wanted to join. "I would suggest it, you don't want her waking up and seeing you covered in blood."

[Bovice]

"True but it doesn't make much sense since I didn't bring any clothes." Holden said looking at his bloody self.
"Holden you are so stupid sometimes." Alicia said as she disappeared.
"That was uncalled for." He said as Alicia disappeared.
"Its the truth." She said handing Holden a set of clothes and handing Solomon a set of clothes. "There from England, now you two go take a shower, preferably separately but I know that wont happen." Alicia said with a wink. "And I will take care of Amanda since she is a girl." She said slightly perturbed at Holden.
"Well I guess I will join you." Holden said with a wink as he teleported to the bathroom.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon laughed at Alicia, "You're too good to us~" He took the clothes and teleported the the bathroom with Holden "We're saving water Alicia..get off our backs" And with that, he blocked her from him mind and Holden's, to spare her so to say.

[Bovice]

Alicia shivered at the thought. "My ass you two are saving water." She said as she picked up Amanda.

"I feel a little better." Holden said with a smirk, he turned to Solomon and gave his a kiss on the lips. He looked at his watch, "I need to go to the bank. By the way you never said if you liked my pants before." He said with a slight frown. "Alicia how is Amanda?" Holden asked as he left the bathroom.
"She's good she is still sleeping and I'm back at your house and don't worry everything is fine." Alicia said gently squeezing his brain.

[Evil Tink]

"I'm sorry Holden, I didn't really notice..a lot going on." He pulled on the fresh clothes, swiftly tying up his tie as he followed Holden, "They did look quite amazing."

[Bovice]

Holden smiled, "Thanks, I knew you would love them. I need to go to the bank but I don't wanna leave Amanda." He sighed. "Will you stay with Alicia and watch Amanda for me while I do a few errands?" He asked as he walked out of Alicia's house.

[Evil Tink]

"I won't let her out of my sight." He gave Holden a hug and a quick kiss. He teleported to Alicia and Amanda, leaning up on the wall. "Did you need to feed or anything? I'll watch her for awhile.."

[Bovice]

Holden smiled and went to the Corvette, "Dad what have I told you about leaving the keys in the car?" He smiled as he noticed an envelope with his name on it in the passenger seat. He grabbed it and opened it, "Oh my god dad I can't believe you did this." He said grabbing the set of keys out of the envelope. He quickly got out of the car and went to the garage, he opened the door and saw a Lamborghini Aventador LP70-4. "Oh my god, you didn't have to get this for me for my birthday dad." He said with a smile as he got into the car. Holden started the car and peeled out of the garage and driveway.

"No I'm good mom and dad always had some bottled blood in the fridge." Alicia said looking up to Solomon. "His dad did not do that." Alicia said as she saw the car in her head.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon nodded, a sly smile at his lips, "He did...you know, sometimes I worry, with Holden having all this money. He's..a bit frivolous with it. I mean, he just up and bought a car in London, he demands he pays for the repairs to my garage and that he'll replace my cars, but..I don't want him to. I could care less about those other cars..it's my..Jaguar that I want back." He sighed a bit, running his hand through his hair, "But, I don't want to tell him 'No' and have him feel insulted."

[Bovice]

"Pfft Holden isn't frivolous, well except for the car in London. Anyway he uses his money to help when someone needs it, I know you don't need help with the finances, but it is just his way of doing things. I know when he gets back to London he is gonna buy another car so that Amanda will be safer in it. But I don't know if you figured this out, Holden is the type that would literally give the shirt off of his back to someone in need." Alicia said looking at Solomon. "There was this one time we came across a bum and Holden gave the guy $200, and he knew the man was just gonna buy booze with it, but Holden thought better of the man. Sometimes his innocence is a breath of fresh air, but sometimes I feel he is gonna be taken advantage of one day." Alicia said.

[Evil Tink]

"Perhaps he already is being taken advantage of. Jaclynn is very cunning, Alicia. She killed his father, nearly killed his sister, and it plotting to kill you and myself. I don't think she's aiming to kill Holden, but rather, make him suffer, and eventually have nothing but pennies...or loose his damn mind. I don't know how much more of this he can take."

He frowned slightly, "I thought that turning him would get her to leave him alone, but it's only making it worse. She knows she has much more time to do what she needs to and will stretch it out and make him suffer for a long as possible before finding it necessary to kill him." As he spoke, his tone shifted, as if..he knew much more than he was stating. It was a hard thing to not notice.
