[Evil Tink]

She shook her head, "It's only been about a half hour..I've been cleaning up the mess. I did put the food in the fridge. I was about to reheat some of it when you woke up.I think you should eat just a tad before you haul down that wine." She pushed him back into the couch, "But you stay here...I will get your food for you." With that, she skittered into the kitchen.

[Bovice]

"Ow.." Holden growled slightly as his back got jarred. "Have you heard from Solomon?" He ran his bloody hand through his hair. "I really need to take a shower... And to burn these clothes..." He sighed as he looked to where the coffee table once sat. "The twelfth one in the past three months." Holden shook his head slightly.

[Evil Tink]

She came back out after a few minutes with a fully assembled plate and the bottle of wine. "I haven't seen or heard anything from him. I guess Hayden isn't finished yet..." She looked away slightly as she handed him the stuff.

[Bovice]

Holden sighed as he laid the tray next to him, "At least he can heal himself." He closed his eyes. He opened them and looked at Melody, "Thank you for standing up for me earlier." He smiled but quickly took it away. "Next to Alicia... Well sometimes... You are my other best friend Melody." He looked down at the food. "And after all what are girls supposed to do without their gay best friends." Holden chuckled grabbing his abdomen.

[Evil Tink]

Melody smiled a bit, laying her hand gently on his shoulder, "I may be a bitch most of the time to you, but you know that I will always be there for you...against vampires or demons." She grabbed the plate and set it in his lap with a bit of force, handing him a fork, "Eat."

[Bovice]

"I know, and I will be there for you, even if I die a measly human." Holden sighed a bit as the plate was jammed into his lap. He grabbed the fork, "Your lucky you can kick my ass." He chuckled as he took a forkful of food.

Suddenly Seth appeared pinching his nose, "Holden I..." He trailed off as he looked around. "What the fuck happened here?" He looked at Melody.

"What do you need Seth?" Holden asked with a mouthful of food.

[Evil Tink]

Melody shook her head at Seth, "Just don't worry about it. What do you need?"

[Bovice]

"Umm, it's actually about the French..." Seth somewhat muttered. "They know you guys are alive..." He trailed off.

"What about them Seth? And most of the vampire world knows Solomon and I are alive. It's not that hard to figure out that the best friends of the leader of the council is alive." Holden sighed taking another bite of food.

"They want to challenge you for custody of Melody. And they want to experiment on her." Seth flinched as he said that.

Holden dropped his fork, "What?! Seth I'm not a vampire anymore."

[Evil Tink]

Melody blinked, "H-how did they find out?" She frowned a bit, "Holden can't fight them Seth..he'd die..." Where was Solomon when you needed him? Oh right...getting the shit beaten out of him by his sister.

Seconds later, Mystic had appeared, looking rather peeved, "How did they find out about this Seth? You guys, Serus, and Jaelynn are the only vampires who know of this. Solomon and Hayden would not be so careless to let some filthy French vampires glean that from their minds." He turned to Seth, "So it was one of you three..."

Serus appeared seconds after Mystic was done speaking, slapping up hard upside his face, "It wasn't us Mystic! Jeez. You demons always throw the blame to someone. Are you sure it wasn't your 'precious Acera'? She's obviously out to get you..look at what happened to Azriel.." She narrowed her eyes a bit.

[Bovice]

"We didn't say jack Mystic. And the only one who can get into my mind is her." Seth pointed to Serus as he crossed his arms.

Holden sighed and put the plate on the tray, "Seth, how long did they give me? Before they forcibly come?" He looked up at Seth.

Seth looked down at Holden, "Five days. And they wont take any substitutions." He sighed. "And I have tried talking Jean-Pierre out of this but he wont budge. And since I don't control the world council, I can't force him to not do this." He pinched his nose.

"I see Seth." Holden rubbed his legs with his hands. "I need to talk to Solomon. Seth will you take me to him?" He slowly stood up. He looked at Mystic, "Can you stay with her while I'm gone? I know Alicia is here, but if the stupid French go back on their word, Alicia wouldn't be able to handle a lot of vampires." He sighed looking at Melody. "Don't worry I will do everything I can do." Holden smiled as he walked to Seth.

Seth nodded, "After I drop you off I will go back and try to get them to stop." He grabbed Holden's shoulders and disappeared.

[Evil Tink]

Serus crossed her arms over her chest, "And I'm no longer apart of the American Council..I have no pull either...Yes Melody, I know that's what you were thinking. Either way, I will talk to Kitra..she's World Head..maybe she will help us." She disappeared shortly after Seth and Holden.

Mystic nodded, "Of course. I will take her to Acera actually..there's no safer place than with her." He covered Melody's eyes, teleporting her to Acera's manor. He sighed, shaking his head, "Poor girl can never get a break." And with that he vanished.

[Bovice]

Seth and Holden appeared in Solomon's house. "Well Holden, I will go and see what I can do. If you need anything to use our link." He nodded and disappeared.

"Thanks.." Holden sighed at Seth disappeared. He looked around but he couldn't see much because the light's were out. He stepped forward slightly and heard a squish and a crunch. He bent down and noticed he stepped on a finger, and it was Solomon's finger. He quickly stood up and started to search the wall for a light switch. He let out a sigh of relief when he found one, but he quickly started to panic because the lights wouldn't turn on. "S-..Solomon...?" He turned around and squinted his eyes to try and see. "Hay..." Holden trailed off as he stuck his hand in a massive amount of blood...

[Evil Tink]

Hayden paused, mid swing of her sword as she heard something downstairs, "The hell..oh it's Holden..." She lightly kicked the body before her, "Solo..wake up..your stupid boyfriend is here ruining my revenge." Not getting a response, she looked down, prodding him with her katana, the blade cutting a few inches into his already destroyed flesh, "Oh my..maybe I went a little too far. Bye~" As soon as she disappeared, the lights flared on, revealing just what carnage the darkness had hid.

[Bovice]

Holden jumped when the lights flared on, "Oh...My...God..." His eyes went wide as he saw body parts scattered all over the room. "S-..so much blood..." He slowly walked around the pools of blood. He noticed that the body parts and blood went up the stairs. He gulped and slowly started up the stairs, he listened for any sounds of movement. He finally reached the top of the stairs, "Solomon?" He started down the hall. He saw the blood covered door to Solomon's study. He quickly ran to it and opened it. "Oh my god! Solomon!" He ran to Solomon, and slipping a little along the way. He quickly got on his knees and turned Solomon over and laid his head in Holden's lap. He noticed Solomon's chest was still moving up and down. "I'm sorry Solomon." He pulled the knife that was sticking out of Solomon's shoulder. He dragged it across his wrist, he opened Solomon's mouth and put his wrist to it. "Please Solomon, I just got you back. I can't loose you again." Holden cried a little as he looked down at Solomon.

[Evil Tink]

Hayden perched herself in a tree, holding her bloodied Katanas as she watched Holden, "Oh don't cry Holden...You know I could never kill him."

It wasn't long until Solomon was at least half conscious. His eyes flickered open, his vision blurry at first. When he realized it was Holden that was giving him the blood, he quickly moved to push Holden's wrist away..but..wait. Where were his arms. Suddenly he bolted upright, his mouth hung open as he realized he was missing more than just limbs.

"There's witch-blood in the fridge Holden...you should give that to him instead. Much more powerful."

[Bovice]

"Solo-..Solomon, just relax." Holden tried to calm Solomon down as he getly made him move so he was leaning up against a chair. He quickly cut a piece of his shirt off and tied it around his wrist. "Just stay right there." "Not that you can move." He quickly stood up and ran down to the refrigerator. He grabbed all of the blood he could carry and went back up to the study. He popped a top from one of the bottles as he kneeled down, he put it to Solomon's lips. "Ok, Solomon... I need to talk to you about something." He looked down as he started to open another bottle. He sighed, "Why don't you just read my mind." He took the empty bottle away from Solomon. He gently laid his forehead on Solomon's.
