Arsen hummed, ".... Demons....."
He stopped and simply stared as he brain went to work, his eyes glazing over and flicking as he focused on a spot on the couch. His eyes shifted as if he were reading, the gears turning in his mind.
"... Remus.... might know where to find them.... I don't know if he'll want to be caught up in this again...."

"Even if he doesn't want to be caught up in it. He is already and it's too late for him to back out. Kyrii will have found this place by now and be on the hunt. He's either going to get passively slaughtered or he can come with us and have a chance at living," Jae said, getting fired up about the plan.

Arsen nodded slowly, "... Poor kid.... And our's...."
For a moment, his paternal instinct kicked in and he looked away, letting it run through his mind. hat if they got hurt? Or killed? What if Kyrii got them again? All things he would never forgive himself for.
They'd have to hide the kids someone, but they couldn't spare anyone they had now to watch them.
"We have to broaden our forces. Soon. We can't stay here forever...." he muttered, "... we need to send one or two people out to find them..."

"We should send the children away as well," Jae said, echoing Arsen's thoughts before turning her attention back to the problem at hand. "Eryn will go....and Remus won't have to if he can give good enough directions. Shadow's too weak...and this will give Eryn time. Larial can't go and Toru will want to take care of him." Her eyes turned to Arsen. "Eryn could do it alone, but she's broken up as it is. One of us is going to have to go with her," the ex-Hunter said, then slowly. "I think it should be me...We need your power to protect our family. And...you're not quite up to par yet. I'm broken and Eryn's broken...two halves make a whole don't they?"
Jae smiled wanly as the plan unfolded in her mind. This was the right thing to do....she thought.

Arsen looked away in thought, "... Jae. I should go. If Kyrii has found we're here, it would be better for me to go so all of you will be safe, right? If she attacks while I'm here, watching the children...
"... I can handle taking care of Eryn and myself. I understand that she may not want to be around anyone right now.... We should talk to everyone," he said, "We can't decide on our own. I know we have in the past, but this isn't war anymore. This is a game of cat and mouse. We don't have forces or soldiers, just family. And we need to talk to them."

Jae acquiesced after thinking about it for a moment, but she grabbed Arsen's chin to make him look straight at her as she said the next words.
"Just so you know, this is war now. We may not have a force to command, but we are in the middle of a silent, private war. One in which we're refugees. Don't make less of it than it really is," the vampiress said, patting his cheek. "Otherwise, you're doing just fine."
She stretched a little before leaning back into the couch.
"We'll meet after everyone's had a good rest. Hopefully, things will seem clearer in the morning and the ideas will flow better."
((Time Jump of a few hours?))

Arsen laughed a little, wrapping his arms around Jaenelle's waist and growling playfully as he buried his face in the crook of her neck, "You'll never let me forget why I love you, will you?"
He smiled, then, starting to purr, "I'm not trying to down play it, I don't see this as war yet. This is tilting towards a massacre. And the odds don't seem to be in our favor."
Then, his smile faded into a grin, "It will be a war, though. And she will suffer again. Just as before."
His grip tightened on Jaenelle, as though she were a life-line as he slipped into a brief moment of insanity, "I'm going to rip her heart out and feed it to that spawn of her's. And rip his head off. How dare they touch what is mine?"
And then, the insanity was gone as he kissed the side of Jaenelle's neck, his grip relaxing as he nuzzled the mark on her neck.
(Hurp. I meant to say go for it lol I wanted to play with Arsen a little xD)

((Ehehe, I love Arsen and Shadow ) Jae heard her lover's voice tilt towards insanity and paused, feeling stillness roar through her veins as he nuzzled the side of her neck and talked of the pain he would visit on Kyrii. She closed her eyes and shuddered as she heard him say "mine" before feeling him relax marginally. She knew that his break with reality was over, but it worried her that something like this had happened. Arsen couldn't be unstable- not now. His continued nuzzling of her neck made her tense up a little, still remembering the vicious fangs that had violated her not long ago, but she wanted to forget them. Needed to forget them or else she would never be normal again. Slowly, the ex-Hunter forced her body to relax into the First's arms, tilting her head to the side despite her senses screaming at her. "Bite me," she whispered, keeping her breath low and breathy so it wouldn't tell of her nervousness.

(=w= I love my boys too. its hard not to lol)
Arsen paused when he heard Jaenelle and pulled back, only a little. But, he grinned.
"As you wish."
The First kissed his mate's neck gently before sinking his teeth into the mark he had left on her neck--his favorite spot on her admittedly--and licked at the wound, sucking gently on the wounded flesh.
He loved it. He loved the taste. He loved her. He loved the taste of her.
However, he didn't let his mind slip, taking one of her hands gently in his own, intertwining their fingers together.

Jaenelle sensed Arsen's withdrawal from her and she almost started to pull away as well, afraid that her request had angered him. However, his agreement a moment later and then the feel of his fangs sinking into her abused flesh made her tense as worried thoughts and distrusted sensations rushed through her body.
What if he didn't like her anymore? What if she was dirtied or tasted different? Why did she keep reliving the horrible moment of Kyrii's minions ripping her apart?
Then her mate's hand slipped into hers and she relaxed a little. He knew what she was feeling and was silently reassuring her. It would be a battle to regain the trust this act implied for her, but he would be there to help. That small reassurance allowed Jae to relax into her lover's hold and enjoy the unique sensation of having her blood drawn by a master.

Arsen eventually pulled his fangs from the wound, enjoying licking at it, purring softly. He always purred for her. He rubbed his thumb against her hand, the purr slipping into a hummed song, soothing when he felt her body react in a different way.
"I'm here," he muttered, "I'm not leaving you. I'll always be here. You'll always be mine."
He pulled back to gently kiss her with bloodied lips, giving a small smile before kissing the tip of her nose.

Jae smiled a little at Arsen's kisses before settling her head back on his shoulder and cuddling up against him. Sometimes, she was so happy that he was hers and she knew that he would always understand her every emotion. It felt so good.

The vampire smiled, moving to comb his fingers through Jaenelle's hair, moving to kiss her temple.
"Time to sleep," he muttered, "We need rest too, my love."

Jae looked up at Arsen and pouted a little, slightly out-of-character for her, but she was feeling the intimacy of the moment and, secure in his love, she felt like teasing the First. As his lips touched her temple, she wrapped a fist into his hair and drew his mouth down to hers, tasting her blood on his lips and on his fangs as she slipped her tongue daringly into his mouth.

Arsen was slightly taken aback by that, but more than eagerly kissed her back, nipping at her tongue before initiating the fight for dominance that he more often than not let her win. However, with that little battle came the low rumbling growl that reverberated through his chest as a hand slid to grip at her hair tightly, his other hand grasping her forearm tightly to hold her in place, letting Jaenelle know that shouldn't be getting away so easily.

Jae moaned into Arsen's mouth at his brutality and at the growl he gave her. Gods, but he was sexy and protective and....hers. She loved it, she loved him. She wanted him and she wanted him to wash away the sin that had profaned her body, not just with his bite, but with the muscles, the bone and flesh that made him alive. She needed that from him right now. The vampiress needed her mate to show her that she wasn't damaged goods, though his bite and appreciation of her blood had gone a long way towards that, but it would still be a process.
The ex-Huntress struggled slightly against Arsen's grip, just to make it more interesting. One hand pushing against his chest where she had shredded his shirt with her claws while the other dipped lower to create a delicious friction to set the First's senses afire while Jae purred.

The growl intensified as jaenelle shifted, but faded into a groaned purr. He pulled back to laugh a little at his body's reactions and the silly noise. His body rolled to her touch, just as it always had and he grinned, letting the silly purring dominate his throat as he moved to kiss at the bite on her throat before attacking her ear with affection, licking and sucking before giving a soft tug and releasing.
And it wasn't long before his mind was swimming just enough that his head fell back with a groan as his eyes slid to slits barely open.

Jae squirmed as Arsen attacked her throat and ears, making her laugh and scrabble to get away from him. It tickled more than a little and she was glad when it was over, though a healthy blush of newly drunk blood rose to cover her cheeks at the adoration of her lover.
The vampiress watched as Arsen's head fall backwards and she laughed, pushing him over on his back, growling the whole while and biting at his throat and clothes, shredding them further to pieces and teasing the First, testing the limits of his "alpha" mode, as she had affectionately come to call it- in slight mockery of Shadow.

The First grinned at the aggressiveness of his lover. His little spitfire. He let her have her way with him a bit longer before he caught her in a tight hold. He gave a growl, staring her down before pulling her into a fierce kiss, tumbling them over again and it was his turn to make her blood boil.
One had simply slid down her side gently, before viciously attacking the weak spots he'd found on her lower body, pressing his chest to her's, rather missing the feel that her skin would leave to the sensitive scars.

Jae snarled helplessly at Arsen as he flipped her, digging her claws into his shoulders at the delicious torture he was wreaking over her body. To stifle her cries she buried her face in his shoulder, so tempted to bite him just for the fun of it.
"Dear god, what do you do to me?" she whispered in her lover's ear softly.

The vampire gave a soft laugh at her words.
"What I do to you has produce many little heathens," he laughed a little, he really did love his kids, but sometimes....
He shifted to nuzzle Jaenelle, rubbing against her, purring softly, "Didn't we just have this conversation with me as the topic?"
"Jae...." he muttered softly, "... I love you. So much. Yo're my world. My life. I never want to leave you. And if I ever leave, you can tear my heart out."
It was war for them. There can only be wants, not will nots.it was hard for him to accept, because any of them could be lost, as he had discovered, but he was going to do his damnedest to keep everyone alive.

Jaenelle laughed a little at Arsen's jest, nipping his ear a little before stilling at his soft-spoken words. Her fingers slid under his chin to draw his face up to hers as he spoke. In his eyes, she saw the awful recognition of their position and she closed her eyes in response to it. She had already known that it was war, but seeing her mate with that acceptance in her eyes made it all the worse. To drown out the terrible love she saw, she kissed Arsen- hard- trying to erase the moment of realization and push it back a little farther.
"I love you too, but....Don't talk like that...." her voice caught a little. "Not yet, please, not yet."

Arsen turned his head away, holding Jaenelle tight.
"... All right, Jae," he muttered, "I'm sorry."
He buried his face in the crook of her neck, inhaling her scent, committing it to memory as if it wasn't there already. This was hard for him. He'd been in so many battles, and lost so many comrades, and had even lost himself.
He gave a shaky inhale, closing his eyes, "... Where are the kids?"

"Asleep," Jaenelle murmured, running her fingers through her lover's hair, memorizing the feeling of him pressed against her and taking in his scent as it enveloped her. A single tear leaked out of the corner of her eye and slid down her face, dropping it Arsen's tangle of hair to be lost forever.
She couldn't deal with losing him, even the idea of losing him hurt. Jae just couldn't deal with that thought yet, she needed a few more minutes to accept, to love him and hold him and just be with him before she thought of losing it all. And, yet, there was no choice. There was no option open to them whereby she could have both Arsen and her family unless they won free of Kyrii.

"I see," Arsen said softly, holding to her tight. He simply nuzzled into her and held on tight. He didn't want to face that he could loose his family. Any part of it. It was too much. far too much....
"This needs to end," he muttered, "Soon. I can't take this...."

Jae kissed his temple, continuing to run her fingers through his hair gently. Giving and receiving comfort at the same time. A laugh, caught on the end like a sob, rose in her throat as she thought of the irony of this situation. Fifteen years ago, she, Arsen and Shadow could've taken a situation on like this with no problem, but in their ten years of peace, they had made connections, put down roots and now had to risk their very hearts in order to save them. Oh, the irony of it all.
But...the ten years had deepened her love with her mate, gave her children to look after, a family reminiscent of the one she had lost- gave her battered heart sanctuary. Jae wasn't sure she would have had it any other way, but she just could not take the ending that was staring her in the face.
"I love you," she murmured, kissing the side of Arsen's face again.

"I love you too," Arsen muttered softly, nuzzling into her. He squeezed her tight, not knowing what else to say.
".... We'll get through this." Because they always did, ".... Soon it will be done..."
He nuzzled closer to her, as close as he could, and simply held her, closing his eyes.

Jae was content with this for now, cuddling close to Arsen and letting her breathing even out as she felt sleep clawing at her senses. It felt good to be able to rest in her mate's embrace- her mate who had come back to her against all odds. It felt good. And right.
With that last thought, the ex-Hunter slipped into slumber; her nightmares kept at bay by the feeling of her lover's arms.

Arsen soon dropped into sleep as well, his body tired from all that h'd gone through for the day, and mentally exhausted. Tomorrow was another day. Tomorrow would be dealt with when the time came.
So much had to be fixed and so much was broken it seemed like an impossible task. But they always had overcome the impossible.
