EON::
Eon sat at his desk--asleep. He blinked and sat up, looking at a blank piece of paper. That's right... He thought, I was suppost to right a poem for Dark. He leabed back and combed his hands through his hair. Staring at the pencil, he was pondering the lyrics of the poem.
"Dark.... you're..." He leaned forward scratching his ear. He grabbed the pencil.

Dear Dark, sweet Dark...
You're the only one,
the only thing that I need.
Black, white...
Red, blue...
Dear sweet Dark,
I love you.

He smiled and folded the paper into an envelope. "To: Dark, From: Eon..."
Eon left the card on the table and walked into his bathroom and turned the shower on and started stripping himself from his clothes.
DARK SOUL::
Dark walked grudgingly from her bedroom, scratching her head and yawning. She didn't know what time it was, and didn't really care.

"Eon, did you call me?" She yelled, pausing to listen. She heard water and stumbled up to Eon's door, knocking loudly.
EON::
As Dark called, Eon freaked out and suddenly slipped and his his head against the wall. "GAH!" The shower stopped spouting water as his foot hit the foset.

He layed there, rubbing his head and grabbing a towel. He mumbled a few muffled words. Sighing, he replied, "No Dark. I didn't call you. Is something the matter?" He turned on the fan and the steam drained away.
DARK SOUL::
Dark flinched as she heard a bang. "Ohmigod are you okay? I'm sorry!" She rubbed the back of her neck. "Nevermind! I'll be downstairs." She quickly tiptoed downstairs, her black cat ears tilted down.

She jumped on the couch and stared at the blank TV screen, unable to figure out how to work it anyways.
EON::
Eon's ears turned a little red as he got dressed. He walked back into his room and saw the envelope still sitting there. "...." He frowned. "I should of told her."
He put the envelope inside his dresser and sighed. "Oh, who am I kidding! It absolutely not romantic at all. What kind of girl would want me anyway?!" He began to walk down the stairs.

Thorn walked in the front door and saw Dark staring at the blank television. "... You STILL haven't figured it out!?" He started cracking up and then quickly changed to a serious expression. "I'm sorry that was absolutely not funny at all." He saw Eon coming down the stairs and smirked. "Oh, you want me to leave you two alone?" He pointed at the front door.
DARK SOUL::
"Oh, shut up." Dark mumbled, crossing her arms in front of her chest and pouting. She glanced up to look from Eon to Thorn. "Am I missing something?" She asked, scanning their thoughts.
EON::
Eon turned bright red, just remembering that Dark could read thoughts. "OH. N-NOTHING.!" He glanced at Thorn for support.

Thorn smiled. "Oh, you didn't tell her in your room?" He pointed upstairs. His smile grew bigger. "She's suppost to find out either way." He chuckled and stepped outside, closing the door. Because you love her. He hummed and started to whistle.

Eon stared at the door, frozen. "OH THANK YOU, BROTHER." He said in an immature voice.
DARK SOUL::
Dark was quite for a second, staring into space. "Oh." She said quietly before turning back to the blank TV screen, her ears twitching slightly.

A young girl with bright blue hair skipped down the stairs, singing an upbeat song in some other language. "Yuki dear!" She chimed, plopping herself on the seat beside Dark, flashing her perfect teeth up at Eon. "Hello, little boy!"
EON::
Eon turned even more flustered. "HUH? WHAT?" He stared at the blue haired girl. "Y-Yuki? Who's that?" He looked at Dark. "And who is this?!" He pointed at the girl.
DARK SOUL::
"Tis Miss Yuki!" She petted Dark's hair, smiling.

"This is Crystal... My uhm... Best friend's twin sister..." Dark spoke in a monotone, gesturing toward the little girl, who giggled.

"Best friend." Crystal repeated, grinning up at Eon.
EON::
Eon scratched his head, feeling a little left out. "I don't get it." He paused. "So... Is your name Yuki, like.... a nick name?" He looked at Dark.
DARK SOUL::
"Yuki is her last name!" Crystal spoke a little louder than necessary, leaning in towards Eon. "My brother was her servant and body guard." She giggled while she spoke, eying Dark. "So he got worried about her and so I came here and spent the night! And you should be very concerned because she is not getting any sleep." She suddenly frowned.

"Before I came here Crystal and her two brothers were the only kids I was allowed contact with.." Dark muttered.
EON::
Eon still had a confused look.Body guard...? SERVANT? He rubbed his head. He gave a glance at Dark. "This is interesting to find out. So..." He thought a little. "How does this guy know that your here-Or are you still in contact?" He leaned against the wall waiting for an answer.
DARK SOUL::
"Sabutan searched planet after planet after he escaped slavery - From the gods. That's where Yuki's father sent him when he found out." Crystal glanced wearily over to Dark for a split second before looking back to Eon. Dark just glared at her.
"Well so he's been on earth a couple of years. But it's pretty hard to find anyone when it's so big, and has so many humans. He has to take planes and trains and everything!" She put her hand to her forehead dramatically. "How exhausting it all is! But no, they haven't spoken... But Sabutan's will be here soon..." She added softly, mostly speaking to Dark, who just stared at the TV screen silently.
EON::
Eon blinked. "....." He stood up crossing his arms. "... He's... coming here?" This all overwhelmed him a little. "I-I guess I can't really understand."
Sundenly he grabbed the door and walked out.
"I don't get it.... If he's searching for her, is it possible that he lo-" He clamped his mouth shut and whinced. "And mabye she would rather prefer him than... me?" He felt that he was far enough and sat on a rock and gave a long sigh.
Thorn walked up behind Eon and ruffled his hair. "Are you worried? Jealous even?" He knelt next to his brother.
Eon gave a glare and turned the other way. "No! I'm not for your information. I'm just a little overwhelmed..."
DARK SOUL::
Dark starred, open mouthed, as Eon walked out. She suddenly turned on Crystal, jumping from the seat. "I hate you. You're ruining this for me, Crystal." She hissed through clenched teeth, storming out after Eon. "You won't be saying that once he gets here!" Crystal giggled, dancing after Dark. She reached Eon first. "What's wrong, child? Worried?" The little girl giggled, standing on her toes to poke Eon's forhead.
EON::
Eon flinched backwards and saw behind crystal that Dark was lagging behind. Before he opened his mouth, his brother saved him the trouble.
"Oh, hey cutie pie! What's your name?" Thorn gave a big grin and stepped infront of Eon.
Eon stood up. "Thorn, this is Crystal. Some old friend of Dark's." He looked away. "Why do you want to know if I'm worried?"
"Ahh.... And is she staying the night?"Thorn winked at Eon.
Eon froze, completely astonished. "THORN!" He turned bright red. "D-Don't think like that..."
DARK SOUL::
Crystal stared at Thorn, her expression suddenly grim. Her hand snapped up in a flash, grabbing his chin with great force, turning his head side to side. "Yuki's never spoken about you. Then again she doesn't tell me much." She glanced toward Dark before looking back to Thorn. "Hmm. You're very young. Older than Eon, I presume?" She took a step back, circling Thorn, eyeing him up and down repeatedly. She stopped in front of him, staring up into his eyes. ".... Nice to meet you!" She smiled brightly, putting her hand up to him.
Dark goraned, putting her face in her hands. "Oh god Crystal, you're impossible... Sorry Thorn. Very protective. She's like a.. second mom?" She offered without much enthusiasm, speaking quickly and staring down at Crystal. "Except.. in child form.." She raised an eyebrow and Crystal giggled. "Watch it young lady! Oh by the way dinner's on me tonight. I picked up some stuff on the way." Crystal smiled.
EON::
Thorn rubbed his neck. "You're correct..." He felt a little odd. "I'm twenty one years old, five years older than Eon." He shook Crystals hand. "I'm not suprised, Dark." He glanced at her. "I'm not much to brag about."
Eon giggled under his breath and nodded. "So you can cook?" He looked at Crystal. Perhaps he could get along? This won't be so bad... Yeah! She won't be here that long. I hope... And she doesn't seem that... well, yes she is odd. He glanced at Dark. "Are you okay with us all having dinner with Crystal tonight?" He stated the question as if it didn't needed to be answered. But he actually worried if she was okay with it.
DARK SOUL::
"Wow, you're so young, though! And yup!" Crystal giggled, now occupied with a flower growing under a tree, not but ten feet away. Dark stared silently at her, in a daze. It took her a second to realize she was being spoken to. "What? Oh. No, actually it was my idea." She said blankly in a low voice. She just better not ruin this. Dark stared back at Crystal, who -seeming to know what Dark thought- smiled, and nodded. "I'll be so good Miss Yuki! Er. Mistress yuki!" She laughed like an older woman would, her voice actually seeming to mature as she spoke. But it returned to her childish giggle when she smiled at Eon and Thorn. "So what would you two like? I got SO much food! I hope you eat a lot!"
EON::
Eon and Thorn glanced at eachother. Thorn had a big grin on his face, and Eon had the slightest idea what he wanted to eat.
Thorn raised up a hand. "I vote for salmon! BIG GRILLED SALMON. Spices and everything. Oh, and maybe...."
Eon finished for him. " A nice salad?" They both nodded. They started getting into it. "A-And some apple slices?" He hopped he wasn't asking for too much.
Thorn was quite the opposite. "AND DESSERT! Maybe..."
"APPLE PIE! YES!" Eon started giggling. He loved apples, and he loved pies. But the thing he loved the most was APPLE PIE. It was like heaven to him. "... I-If that's okay..."
DARK SOUL::
"Ohmigosh! That's Perfect!" Crystal squealed, clapping excitedly and bouncing. "I just need to go catch some fish! I'm so glad, you tow will love it! Oh Miss Yuki, will you go get the fish? I don't think I could carry that back, and I have so much to do!" She smiled. Dark just stared at her, a look of hate on her face. Dark didn't like water. She couldn't swim. Fish made her go crazy. And she hadn't the slightest idea of how to fish. But of course. "Sure." Dark shrugged, laying back in the grass, watching the clouds. "Oh and.." Crystal paused, glancing at Eon for just a split second. "You should take one of the boys with you. I'm very aware of your swimming skills." She grinned, jumping up and literally dancing back to the cabin. "I'll get working on everything. Bring some more apples back on your way!" She slammed the door with such force it almost seemed the house might come down. But it just waved slightly, as if blown by the breeze.
Dark stared at the two men in front of her. "Any volunteers?" Standing, she stretched, multiple joints cracking at once. She yawned and glared at the cabin. Crystal could be seen peeking out from the curtains.
EON::
Thorn backed up a little and pushed Eon a little forward. "Oh? What's that? I think I hear Mr. Apple tree calling me! Well, I'll leave you two to that fish." He saluted them and ran off.
Eon didn't get what he ment. He shrugged. "Hey, cheer up. Lets go catch a fish." He patted Dark's shoulder and started walking to the lake. Then, he suddenly realised why Thorn ditched. Water + Dark equals crankyness.... Oh... Thorn, I'll get you back. He grinned one of his 'get back' grins he rarely used.
DARK SOUL::
"Yes sir." She muttered, walking alongside him. She touched every tree they passed and hummed quietly.

Sabutan yawned and sat down beneath a large oak tree, sticking his bare feet in the cool water below him. He sighed and stared at the fish that swam around. "Wonder where Crystal went... She said to meet her here..." He mumbled to himself, watching a squirrel run by. It was completely quiet, except for the breeze through the trees every once in a while.
Dark stared at Eon, her golden eyes trying to read his face. "Why doesn't Thorn like me?" She asked quietly, not taking her eyes off him as they walked.
EON::
Eon turned to Dark. "What? Oh, no! Thorn likes you. He really does. He just likes to..." He paused. "He likes to set things up. Thorn plans preety much everything just before he does it, unlike me as to where I just sorta make it up as I go." He smiled at Dark. "Don't worry about it. He wants to try really hard to be your friend."
DARK SOUL::
"Really? " She raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean,'set things up'? What is this Eon?" She gestured, to both of them. "You wanna tell me some-" She stopped, staring forward. "You hear that?.." She whispered, her eyes wide.

Sabutan whistled, splashing his feet in the water.
EON::
Eon turned a little red. So Thorn wasn't thinking that... He was setting himself and Dark up so he could tell her that--
Eon herd the whistling as well. "...That's not Thorn... That's not the tune he likes to use." His heart started to pump. He walked out onto the lake, looking around. Then he spotted the man. He stared, and his heart pumped a little louder. Oh no... Is that him? W-Who is that..?
DARK SOUL::
Dark stepped forward, standing next to Eon. She could actually hear his heart beating. "Who?" She whispered taking another step forward. The man by the lake stood, his head very nearly hitting a tree branch hanging down. He was a few inches taller than Eon.

Sabutan stood, staring into the shadows. "Crystal is that you?" He grinned, walking toward them. "I've been waiting here. What'd you want? Did you find them?"
EON::
Eon swallowed and clenched his teeth shut. He glanced at Dark, trying to understand what he should be doing. ...It is him... Oh man, oh man! I-I shouldn't be this nervous but....
DARK SOUL::
Sabutan stopped, his expression suddenly blank. "...Yamako? Is- is that you!?" He grinned wide, running and scooping her up in a bear hug. "Dark Ohmigod I've been looking everywhere for you! Have you seen Crystal? Oh is she still a little girl? She might not tell you but she's stuck. Everything's been-" He paused and stared at Eon, then smiled. "You must be the lucky guy! How're you. Sabutan." He hesitantly set Dark down, putting his hand out to Eon's.

Dark gasped from the hug, already able to feel the heat in her face. She stood back as soon as Sabutan put her down. "Hi." Was all she managed before stoping to stare at the two. Sabutan was so much.. bigger. She stared at the boy's hands as the taller one stuck his out. Eon seems so weak... Dark thought sadly.
EON::
Eon gave a weak smile and gently shook his hand. "H-Hello.... I'm Eon." His head was completely empty. Not a single thought now. "L-Lucky guy? What do you mean by that?" Eon rubbed his hands to cover up the fact that they were shaking.
DARK SOUL::
Sabutan stared blankly. Then he turned to Dark. Then back to Eon. He grabbed Eon's left hand, looking carefully, then grabbed Dark's. "Well, it's not official until she's got a ring." He looked sadly at Eon, shaking his head slightly. "I knew Zeno must've been lying, but really. This bad?"

Dark was a bit lost as Sabutan spoke. She looked at Eon, her eyes gleaming. "What?" She mouthed at him when Sabutan turned away.
EON::
Eon paused, then glancing at Dark. "Uh.... I think that he thought that we were..." He coughed and whispered softer. "m-married or something." He turned a little red and looked at Sabutan.
Perhaps he didn't love her... They're probably just friends. Yeah, that's it.
DARK SOUL::
"You're not engaged?" Sabutan breathed, staring back and forth from the two. When Dark shook her head he smiled, a glint in his eyes. He bit his bottom lip, frowning, and stared at Dark, glancing at Eon every few moments.

"I-I- Should we start fishing?" Dark asked. She felt like the air had been knocked out of her. Sabutan's eyes locked onto hers and her head started spinning. She stared at the ground, walking quickly to the lake.

"I actually caught some. Crystal said she wanted some fish. What's going on?" Sabutan spoke softly now, as if trying to keep his voice down. He gestured to a large pile of fish piling out of a basket on the ground.
EON::
Eon frowned, seeing that Dark was very confused. He walked up to her and put his hand on her shoulder. "Hey... Dark?" His voice was soft. "Are you okay?"
He glanced at Sabutan and the fish and gave a small smile. "Uh, Sabutan, would you mind talking the fish to the cabin?"
He looked back at Dark. "Do you need to rest?" He looked concerned.
DARK SOUL::
Sabutan flinched when Eon touched Dark, as if it had actually hurt him. "I-uh. I might need some help. It is a lot of fish." He spoke calmly, but the emotion in his eyes showed it all.

Dark noticed. She cringed under Eon's hand, forcing a smile. Her eyes darted nervously to Sabutan and back to Eon. "Yeah just.." She didn't know what to do. Under Sabutan's stare and Eon's concerned gaze, her mind just went blank. "I.. Oh.." She breathed, falling onto her back.
EON::
Eon gasped, grabbing her and held her in his arms. "D-Dark!" He looked at Sabutan, his eyes full of worry. "Sabutan, go get Thorn! My older brother. He could help." He picked her up and his knees started to shake. Either he was a little weak, or Dark was a smidge bit heavy.
He stared at Dark. "I'll take her to the cabin." He nodded as if to reasure himself. He glanced at Sabutan. "Don't worry."
Sabutan seemed to break down as Eon picked Dark up - his breathing quickening and his eyes turned hard. "You barely seem able to carry her, and I don't even know your brother... I'll take her." He stood tall, arms crossed, unmoving - it made him seem a bit like a statue... an angry.. menacing... statue.
EON::
Eon bit his lower lip and glared. "No! I got it." He took a deap breath and his legs stopped wobbling. "Thorn's really tall and black hair. He's near the apple trees. There's a mental image for you." Suddenly he ran off like a bolt, dissapearing in the thick woods.
He smiled down at Dark. Please be okay... He saw the cabin coming into view as he dodged the trees.
"Ugghh.." Dark groaned, putting a hand to her head. Once realizing what was goig on, she stared up at Eon. "Eon, love. You're touching me." She warned.
DARK SOUL::
Sabutan waited until they were out of sight before growling. His eyes glowed red as she snarled and turned, swnging his fist into a tree, breakng it clear in half. He sighed and began taking deep breaths, closing his eyes. They were clear when he opened them. He sped off in the opposite way of Eon. "Thorn! Hello?" He called, getting angrier by the minute.
EON::
Eon realised that Dark had woken up and turned a little red. He skidded across the ground and came to a stop. They were at the cabin door. "I-I'm sorry." He put Dark down. "Are you okay? Y-You fainted. Are you queesy, nautious, or sick at all?" He looked really concerned. He sighed rubbing his neck. "By the way, is that Sabutan guy really overprotective or something?" He gave a smile as if it was no big deal.

Thorn heard his name being called and he whisled a low tune. He walked out to Sabutan and smiled. He was holding a basket of apples. "Oh, hello? How may I help you-" He suddenly noticed the tree. "Oh god. Did you do THAT?" He looked very suprised.
DARK SOUL::
Dark sighed and stood, wobbling a bit. "No, I'm fine.. I was just.. a bit confused..." She mumbled, walking inside the cabin and sitting on the couch, laying back.

"What?" Sabutan smiled, then jumped as he turned to see the tree. "What? No! That's so strange." He trailed off as he turned to look at the man. "So, you're Thorn? Eon's brother?" He said Eon with a strong distaste, but quickly smiled again. "Well, Dark's a bit sick.. Your brother said to come get you." Sabutan looked at the apples. "You need some help carrying that back?"
EON::
Thorn grinned and grabbed Sabutan's hand then giving it a thorough shake.
"SABUTAN! It's so nice to meet you! You're Crystal's brother... and Dark's good friend!" He paused raising an eyebrow. "Do... Do you and Dark--" He interupted himself and shook his head. "Oh, nevermind that!"
He held the basket firmly and acted as if they were extremely heavy. "N-No sir! I'm completely fine. I'll handle the apples. Now let's go to the cabin and see what Eon and Dark are doing." He began to walk back.

Eon stared at her. "...." He sighed, rubbing his neck and looking away. "Dark... Do you..." He didn't look at her. "Are you-" His breath went shaky. He tried calming himself, but he couldn't. "Are you confused... Because you... you love him?" He glanced at her. "Please tell me the truth, Dark."
DARK SOUL::
Sabutan ignored the half-asked question and laughed loudly. "I like you, kid. Hey, is Crystal making dinner? I can't remember the last time I ate a home cooked meal!" He followed Thorn, smiling brightly the whole way.

Dark froze, staring at the blank screen. I wonder if I could pretend I'm deaf... She thought hard about how to answer, just one word coming to mind - the one that would hurt Eon. She ignored her gut feeling to tell the truth and sighed. "Would it matter?.. Do you think it would, Eon? If I did... say, if I did love him.." She felt her stomach lurch at the words. "what would you do?.."
EON::
Eon started to understand. He sat very close to Dark, so that they're knees were touching. His eyes were determined. "I would do this." He lightly held her hands and suddenly kissed her.
...It must of been the first thing that he did without thinking it through.
He pulled his head away and gazed at her with a soft smile. "I understand that you don't love me... but I'd regret it if I didn't do that before I leave." He stood up and walked to the front door, grabbing the door knob. "You belong with Sabutan. You know that well, don't you?"
DARK SOUL::
Dark sat unmoving. Then she felt it. Her heart. It beat once - hard. She inhaled sharply, her eyes quickly darting to Eon, a tear running down her cheek. "Please, no. Don't. I-I..." Her brain was working too fast for her to get anything out. Then she felt the sudden pain in her stomach and her head started to spin - she realized what was going on. "Eon it's not me. It's not me!" She actually fell to her knees in an attempt to get up, not taking her eyes off him. Or maybe I'm going crazy.

Sabutan stopped suddenly, his eyes blank. He felt a sharp pain, grabbing his stomach. Ugh.. The pain became almost too much to bare - before he realized that it wasn't his emotions bothering him. "Thorn, can we hurry?" He forced himself to smile, though the pain didn't fade.
EON::
Eon stared at her. "... W-What?" He stopped reaching for the door knob. "Dark? Are you okay?!" Is voice raised a little, now he didn't understand what she was doing. She... Does she mean she's not moving on her own? Suddenly, he remembered the night when Dark had turned mad and there was that red eyed-- "Dark, what are you saying? " He turned to her. I have to leave... But I can't stand seeing you in pain...

Thorn glanced at Sabutan. "S-Sabutan?" He understood Sabutan was in pain. He had seen to many forced smiles to be fooled. He put his arm around Sabutan's shoulder to give support. "Come on buddy." He gave a serious look. One that he didn't use often.
DARK SOUL::
Dark nearly smiled - he understood. "I-It's.. Hannah, I think." It felt like a knife in the back of her head, but she pressed on, getting to her feet. "She knows he's back and she wants out..." She rambled, feeling her heart beat again - twice. Damn.. Well, that's definitely Hannah.. "Like it matters." She spoke without realizing it, the voice not her own.

Breath quickening, Sabutan pulled back, shaking his head. "We just need to go. It's not me that's hurting.."
EON::
Eon didn't understand. He glanced at the door. "W-What does Hannah want with Sabutan?" He looked back at her. "Will she... Will it be like last time?" He couldn't leave if that happened again. Should he leave now? She belongs with Sabutan... But would Sabutan protect her?
He took Dark's hand. "How can I help?"

Thorn gave a confused look. Who could be hurting? ...Dark maybe? He nodded. "Got it." He was ready to take off in a sprit, sure that Sabutan would follow, but they allready had the cabin in view. He ran up to the door, opening it. "Hey!? What's going on?"
DARK SOUL::
Sabutan followed after easily, moving so fast he seemed to float. The pain disappeared, followed by reassurence... and then anger. "Wai- Thorn - Wait!" He screamed, too late as Thorn opened the door.

Dark smiled at Eon, her heart fluttering. She was almost sure he would be able to hear it, and that made her smile wider - until an anger overcame her, more powerful than she'd felt before. Her eyes flashed red. "Eon, go." Was all she got out before Thorn opened the door - and then he was on the ground. She heard a snarl and a tear as claws slashed through Thorn's shirt, slicing his chest. The snarl made her cringe, back away, let out a sob as she realized she couldn't do anything - Hannah was in control now.
EON::
Thorn lay on the ground, the wind knocked out of him. He gasped for air, "Gah- Ahh... I-I..." He tried to calm down, then he realised that he was bleeding, very fast. He stared at Dark. "Dark.... W-Why did... why did you-" He was feeling faint. He put his hand against the wall for support and wheezed. He felt his reaper trying to break from his mental shakles. "I d-don't want to hurt you Dark...." He couldn't summon his reaper! What if he hurt her? Now how can he defent himself?

Eon froze. "H-Hannah!" He stepped infront of Thorn. "Hannah please! Don't do this!" He stared at Dark's eyes, knowing that Hannah was the one staring back. "Hannah, please don't make Dark do this... I won't let you!" He glanced at Sabutan.
Did he have something to do with this? "Sabutan, why is she back!?" He looked back at Dark. T-This con't be happening...
DARK SOUL::
The blood red eyes stared into Eon's. Hannah stared for a few moments before looking to Thorn, and then back. She stood straight, hands at her sides, though her claws and fangs were still very clearly visible. "Fine, human. I still like your attitude." She grinned. "And you'd better keep that thing down. If this body dies, I'm free. How I wish to be free, oh yes, but I think I've grown to admire my baby sister." She laughed, a long musical sound, but it was ruined by the cold look in her eyes. "Very well. I'll take the two boys and be on my way." She said softly, eyeing Eon and Sabutan.

Sabutan helped Thorn to his feet, easily holding the boy up in one muscular arm. He stared up to see Dark -No, Hannah- standing there, her eyes glowing that murderous red. "You'll be okay. I know how you feel." He said, laughing. He listened as Hannah spoke, his head suddenly jerking up, eyes on Eon. "The human boy didn't do anything." He stared warily at Eon. He doesn't seem like a spirit.. But he does have a strange aura..
EON::
Thorn spat at her, the blood staining the wall and his clothes. "I get it now... You're Hannah, huh? I've herd Eon mutter this and that about you." He grinned as if he knew something that she did not- but of course he really didn't know more than she did. "You're that witch that took over Dark's body. I believe this is the first time we met." He nodded at Sabutan as he was helped up. "And don't worry, I don't feel like fighting today." He suddenly choked and had to lean against Sabutan for more support. Blood was cloging up his throat... he was bleeding to fast the blood must of needed another way and spouted into his air pipe...

Eon flinched as she laughed. "T-Take us?" Where would she take them-No! He couldn't let her. "...Dark..." He glared at her. "Dark wouldn't want that...." He felt something deep inside of him start to sprawl its way around his mind and then climbing into his forearms... then it was at his finger tips. "I won't let you take over Dark..!" A cold chill went through his hands and through his collar and wheaved through his hair. "I WON'T LET YOU!" His eyes suddenly turned a crystal blue and were like ice. He had never felt so angry before... All this rage that was held up for years was pouring out of him, so fast that he was blinded and couldn't realise what exactly was going on around him.

Thorn gasped, seeing his brother like this. Eon had blue flames that came from his fingertips and enveloped itself around his forearms. The flames were not burning his skin, but was very cold and almost solid. The entire room was cold now. "EON, CALM DOWN!" He yelled, but Eon couldn't hear now...

Eon had a cold glare set on Hannah. "I won't let you!!" He yelled and leaped at her. He was so much faster than before, so much stronger as well. He yelled again and swung his fist into her gut and sent her flying into the wall.
DARK SOUL::
Hannah screamed in a voice that wasn't her own as she hit the wall, her gold eyes looking up to Eon sadly. "Eon, love, don't do this. Please, you can't hurt yourself." The gold returned to the harsh red as Hannah laughed. "I could go impersonating her and no one would know!" Blood trickled from her mouth to her chin, but she ignored it, standing tall, a stream of purple aura rising form the floor and around her. "This is your dear lover's soul... Or, that's what she was for one of you.." She grinned, specifically speaking to Eon, finishing the sentence with her eyes on Sabutan. "I'm taking you away to the spirit world, because the dead do not belong with the living, especially in the sense that you two intend. My poor, poor sister, seduced by mere boys.. Dead boys." She laughed once more, the musical sound echoing along with the thick sarcasm in her last sentence. Suddenly doubling over, she grunted, spewing blood across the floor. "Oh, god! I think you broke a few of her ribs!" Her voice was shocked, but it only brought on another round of laughter.

Sabutan held Thorn up staring as he spurted blood, cringing. "I think I might need to cut you open, Thorn.." He said softly, a smile playing on his lips. He had just met the man and he wondered if he'd gained enough trust already. He turned to stare at Eon, his eyes wide, feeling the rage that surged through him. Of course Eon hated him. Of course they'd just met. But he tried and tried to spread calm throughout the room, his eyes shut in concentration - but still, emotions were flying everywhere.
EON::
Thorn glared at Hannah. "Eon's not dead.... " There's no way he could be dead! Eon hadn't ever been in the realm of death... Had he? Did Hannah know something the two of them did not know? He brushed off his pants and frowned. "Hannah, don't think I will let you even for a SECOND take Eon down to that place. He had been there... That's how he got his reaper since he has a contract with the devil to kill the guilty souls in this world.
He looked back at Sabutan. "Hey, we're buddies, right? I'd let you crack my scull open just for amusement! But... cutting me open won't hurt... will it?" He gave a sarcastic laugh knowing that he wasn't looking forward to being opened up like a box.

Eon stared at the blood on the floor. "..." Then back at Hannah-no... That was still Dark's body! "Y-You..." Now what in the world was he going to do!?! He was hurting Dark!! He can't hurt her...! "I'm done with this Hannah! How could you act like this in Dark's body!!?" He yelled at her again grabbing the hair on the side of her head and his other hand on her jaw. "GET OUT OF HER BODY, HANNAH!" Suddenly- her realised that he wasn't thinking any of his actions through and he started to calm down. His grip on her eased. He was wheezing, he had already used up so much energy...
DARK SOUL::
Sabutan stood tall. Thorn trusted him. If only Eon would. "Eon we have to go with her." He said softly. His eyes traveled to the purple stream rising from the floor.

The aura twisted around Hannah's body, the tail flickering in annoyance. She blew a few strands of blonde hair from her face and grinned at the boys. "I'll take you to the girl... and you'll even get to see my true form. How wonderful will that be?" She giggled, twirling the same strands of hair around her finger and smiling.

Sabutan stared at the woman and felt a lurch in his stomach, his face twisting into some pained emotion. He couldn't let this go on. Dark.
Thorn glared at Hannah. "Hannah... what ever you think you're doing with Eon and Sabutan, don't think that I won't come after them and you." He grinned and took a breath. "Soon as I'm ready, Hannah." He looked down at his wounds. He would have to be in perfect heath to go back there.
EON::
Eon let go of Hannah, watching her. He breathed in, trying to become calm. "How do you intend of taking us there...?" He stepped back and glanced at Sabutan, then back at Hannah. Why did he have to go to this place? It was true that he had no memory of dying. Would-Would he have to leave Thorn behind? Mimim even?? He didn't want to think about it. His head started to throb.
DARK SOUL::
Her eyes shot to Thorn. "She doesn't want you there." She snapped, exposing her fangs before smiling - though the anger still showed in her eyes. Hannah turned back to Eon, inhaling, then looking questioningly into his eyes. "I can feel your heart beating." She murmured, thinking hard. Her head suddenly turned toward the kitchen.

The woman stood tall in the doorway, her dark blue hair trailing down to her thigh, which was exposed on was side, the other hidden by a long pant leg. Her dark boots came up to her knees. Matching fingerless gloves ran up her arms her her shoulders. One side was hidden by a long sleeve, the other exposed by a shorter one. Her bright blue eyes surveyed the scene, expression troubled. "I'll take you."

Sabutan grinned as soon as the woman came in. "Crystal."

Hannah shrugged and stepped back, twirling a few strands of hair and smiling.
EON::
Eon and Thorn stared at Crystal and Thorn gave a long whistle. "Phweeet! Wow, I was not expecting that!!" He had a big grin on his face. He shook his head, realising there was still a problem. "Are you going to take Eon even if he doesn't want to go?" He raised an eyebrow and looked at the woman.

Eon shivered. He looked at Hannah, "If Dark is there, is she okay..?" He looked at Sabutan with a sorry look in his eyes. It was true that Dark belonged with Sabutan, wasn't it? If so, he can't go to that place... he shouldn't see Dark ever again. He glanced at Hannah, waiting for an answer.
DARK SOUL::
Crystal giggled, smiling brightly at Thorn - though it didn't touch her sad eyes. "Of course you didn't! I'm not the predictable kind of girl." She laughed once more before sighing, looking at them. "I have to take Eon. Yuki's in there, and I have to bring her out..." She said slowly, thinking about the consequences.

At the words, Hannah scoffed. "Right. And yes. She's fine. She's just dormant, like I was - except she can't come out at some raged emotion or spirit. This is her soul," she gestured to the aura. "I control the body. She's nothing until we enter the next world."

"Speaking of which." Crystal stepped forward, taking a deep breath and closing her eyes. The purple aura flew from Hannah and into the wall in front of Crystal. A large spiraling [VortexThing :] ] appeared. She smiled at the group. "Please, enter." As she spoke she moved to take Thorn from Sabutan. "You need to stay."

Sabutan let Crystal take Thorn and watched as Hannah disappeared into the vortex. He walked up to it, able to feel it nearly pulling him in. His large muscles flexed, the tension growing in his body. "You first." He grinned nervously at Eon.
EON::
Eon stared at the vortex. "I..." Maybe this was the only way. He would have to bring Dark back into this world and stay in that world. He shouldn't see her again, because then he would be interfering. Just someone that Dark wouldn't care for. He moved his attention to Sabutan, and nodded. "That would have to work..." He muttered something after that. He looked at Thorn and weakly smiled. "Thorn... Please don't come back for me."

Thorn blinked, staring at Eon. "W-Wha..?" He started to understand, but didn't want to. "Eon, you can't leave everyone behind for Dark! I won't let you stay there! You can't make it in that place!" He felt dizzy.

Eon shook his head. "I'm sorry Thorn..." He choked. "I-" He couldn't finish his sentence. He glared at the vortex and ran at it, jumping in.

Thorn suddenly jerked away from Crystal, nearly coming loose and coughed up blood again. He wheezed and his face was flushed red. "EON!!" He started trying to squirm his way from Crystal's grip and continued yelling. "EON! NO!!"
DARK SOUL::
Crystal held onto Thorn tightly, pulling him back. "No, they have to go alone.." Her voice cracked at the last word as she stared up at her brother.

Sabutan didn't look at any of them as he followed Eon into the vortex, suddenly consumed in darkness.

Hannah smiled at the two remaining. "Don't worry our pretty little heads. As long as they choose what's right, they'll have no problem getting back.." The vortex began to get smaller, inch by inch. "Oh well. I guess if I didn't head in, they'd never find their way back..." She raised an eyebrow at them, never letting them have a chance to get a word in. "Just a joke, loves. It wouldn't be much of a game if I just let them die in there. Ta ta~" She purred before jumping in after them, the vortex closing completely as she disappeared.

"They'll be all right." Crystal reassured Thorn. They have to be..

Sabutan stared at his surroundings, smiling. "Hey Eon, you there? Wow, it's dark in here!" He chuckled, squinting through the darkness, his voice echoing eerily.
