    At last. They have been reunited. A truely wonderful thing indeed! Ah, and there are multiple spawns on the way no less!

    So, even Carla is aware of her immediate fate? She is not going to go down without a fight, and a very bloody one at that. I just have one thing to request: When she recieves her due, can it be long and painful, please?

    So Vivian has sprouted her wings. Just one more test, Vivian. Just one more.

    Now that we are aware of Carla's immediate demise......

    Bitte Carla stirbt in Schmerzen, bitte Carla stirbt in Schmerzen........

  • Of course! You can't keep Gremily apart. That's impossible. :3 Yes! Vivian has indeed earned her wings. IF she plans on staying, well, that's on her.....but Carla has no idea what she's done. >:) She thinks this battle has been won but she 's wrong. Oh so wrong....

    Thanks my good man! -brofist-

    Oh man its so cool to see these two lovebirds together again! :') and Vivian is now a full fledged Angel! Carla is in for a rude awakening

  • I do warn you, if you DO go back and read from the beginning, so much has changed from there up until now. Like, a fudge ton. XD I have a Q&A for the finale, so if there are questions, now would be the time. :)

    Yes, Vivian has finally earned her wings but what she chooses to do after it is up to her....but Gremily apart is a no no to me. They love one another too much. Their connection has seen worse, though.

    No the golden one is on his left arm. His left. XD I get confused. lol

    I'm sad to see it end, too but all good things must come to an end. The Porgies will live on, though, even after this. :)

  • Carla has always known of her demise, which is one of the reasons why she's so hell bent on taking down both Gren and Emily. I promise you, she'll get what is coming. Now and always. >:)

    Vivian has indeed gained her wings and that's exactly how I'd like to see it: one final test.

    I shall join you in the chant. Now, where did I put that book....

  • Welcome to the thread and hopefully we see more of Kitsune. He seems like a devious person with a heart of gold, in an odd way. :) I love his true form, too. Really neat!

    Vivian is a good person. Gremily are the BigbyxSnow that never stay apart for too long lol

    "What are you going to do, when jugdement comes for you? Nowhere to hide....so see you at the Crossroads, so you won't be lonely..."

    The war of Fabletown part 1

    Robert and Isaiah stood before the quads. Behind the quads, their forever growing soldiers and warriors. Each Fable, all from different backgrounds, was prepared to fight. Hecate, golden hair blowing in the wind, casts upon Carla an armor made of black. Her missing limb replaced and in the palm, clutched around her delicate fingers, was a sword. The blade was crimson red and handle resembling the black soul inside her body. Robert and Isaiah transform into their Grendel form. Roaring and pulling up the dirt, both beasts eye the now cackling woman. The spikes along both their backs and shoulders pop through their skin like a fresh flower beneath the blanket of snow. Isaiah hisses, licking his lips and preparing to lunge at the woman's soft flesh.

    Each of the quads takes a stand beside their uncles; Liam remians on his horse, holding up the Harpe and wearing the Helm of Darkness. Chloe glares at Carla; both hands open and communicating with the shadows of the past. Little demonic figures, eyes wide and bare, are summoned from the ground and skies. Viviana was in her true form. All three heads with their lips curled back, teeth shimmering in the sun and drool seeping from their anxious tongues. Viviana sniffs the air, releasing an ear piercing howl towards the heavens. Seraphina, with Sunflower by her side, prepare to battle with her many plants.

    "How fucking precious are you, you pathetic monsters. It's a damn shame your blood will spill upon the very Earth your feet touch."

    "You can do whatever you please, Carla but you'll never break down these walls!" Lyla speaks, stepping beside her grandchildren. "You have taken our trust and created a path of lies and destruction. Your heart is black as the night sky and soul full of awful thoughts. You will NEVER take our pride, joy and strength."

    Carla laughs. "YOU speak as if you've won, my dear sister. OPEN your fucking eyes-WHERE is your savior, this 'gift' that has been given to you all? Emily and Grendel are DEAD to me and they will be of no use to any of you. Look around, for this is the last family reuinion you'll have."

    "Fook ya', cunt!" Gerogie steps forward, bracing for the next step. "Ya' have taken so much from my family but I've seen the light and people like YA' need ta' stay hidden and never know woot love and family is....I've learned ova' these centuries that monsters do not just live unda' ya' bed but are the very people that know ya' the most."

    "Awww that is SO fucking cute, Georgie! Standing there, giving me a speech. Damn shame Bigby did not rid of you. Pity Sunflower wished to aide you and my sister fucked you...."

    Carla waves her arms, creating a tumbling force of air. The children were nearly swept away; Robert and Gren, along with several other Grendels, managed to catch the children. Katie, sitting on Jersey's back, rose into the heavens. She had her own to deal with, when it came to Carla; she recruited Echidna and the Wolf brothers, Romulus and Remus to murder her family. Junior, shards of glass and blood pouring from his eyes, glares at Carla. His teeth were bare and sharp. The thirst inside his body was consumed with the aguish and hate that corrupted Carla's soul. He would not let another member of his family die; clinging to Peter's fur, Junior jumps upon his brother's back and rides towards Carla. She begins to spawn several groups of warriors, each with a different weapon and stature to their character.

    Lyla remained in her Wolf form, growling, sneering and howling into the afternoon sky. The sun shined brightly down, beating the warmth against the creature's exposed fur. Her eyes never peeled away from Carla. The thought of her own child sacrificing himself to protect his own caused Lyla's claws to dig deeper into the soil. Georgie, standing beside Lyla, held his stance like a statue. The Fable longed to purge this world of Carla's presence; her immortal soul graced his family and left several piles of destruction along the way.

    He, along with the others, could feel her life slipping away. He disired to battle Carla alone. Black magic against Dark but in his heart, he knew this was his daughter's fight alone. Only the bow of Artemis could send Carla into the ground. Looking over, however, Georgie notices Erica's sudden change: pale, chalky skin, yellow eyes and slender fingers; each raised high, pressing the magic long enough keep a mysterious cloud above her head.

    The groups of spawned warriors march towards the awaiting Fables. "STAND YOUR GROUND!" Robert holds up his hand. "Not YET! WAIT on my command...."

    It was the least Robert could do; he was still beside Gren's body, awaiting for their souls to return with Emily. Isaiah, standing a few feet to the left, nods at Robert. With a single twirl of his finger, Isaiah was charging towards the group. Now, in his Grendel form, the beast would leap into the mess and while distracting the few soldiers, the others could attack. Carla did, however, take notice of this little plan. Grinning, she pauses to think of something to stop this foul creature from attempting to control her spawns. Hecate leans over and whispers something devilish in Carla's ear.

    "Ah of course, Hecate..." Carla opens her fingers, blood pouring from the tips. "I had NEVER thought of this. Hope you're hungry, you disgusting creature..."

    A wave of red pours from Carla's fingers. Everyone pauses to see what this would possibly spawn into but it did nothing to them. Only to Isaiah. He stops, with half of a warrior in his mouth and began to struggle against the smell. Under the heat of the sun the blood gained a harsh smell of copper but to Isaiah, it was waving a piece of fresh meat to a Lion's den. He drops the deceased soilder, grabs his head and screams. Robert and the others took notice of Isaiah's behavior and were confused.

    "Isaiah!" Robert attempts to grab his brother's attention. "ISAIAH! Why did you stop!? Go, before she spawns more!"

    The fresh human blood was causing Isaiah's head to spin and fangs to petrude through his gums. The beast falls to his knees as spears and arrows plummeted into his body. The pain was a mere tickle to Isaiah but it was the scent of the blood, still pouring from Carla's fingers, that caused him to become vulnerable and in control of the woman. The others, worried he had become lost in a sudden spell, charge. Katie dips from the heavens, still perched on Jersey's backs, while Wolves followed, howling at their prey. Georgie tosses several balls of purple magic at several minions following behind. Isaiah, trying to lift himself from the ground, could feel his world colliding.

    Glancing over, his worried brother could not move. He had Gren's body to protect but alas, where there is a will, there is always a way. There was another Fable who took notice of Isaiah's odd behavior and she was not the least bit thrilled with Carla's 'dirty' plays. Sheila Porgie was too much like her mother; it had to be a certain way and if she called the shots. With no weapon in her hands, the little girl heads for Isaiah.

    "Sheila, stop!" Her brother George calls out, hoping to stop his sister in time. "It's too dangerous! Let dad and the others handle this. SHEILA!"

    But the little Mary copy refused to stop in her tracks and obey. Those were mere words Sheila allowed to pass right over her head. Isaiah was well on his way to destroy half of the spawned warriors but like usual, Carla paniced. She knew this war had already been won before returning to Gren and Emily's place. But like all the others before her, she was going to play the 'weakness' card. And Sheils did not like this. Changing into her true form, Sheila yanks out several shards of glass from her arms, neck and forehead; they grew back like weeds in an unkept garden and one by one, she sends the shards flying.

    Several pin into the heads of the soldiers, while others strike their legs, causing them to fall. The Wolves then leapt in, tore their heads clean off and advanced to the next target. Joining the Wolves in this task were Jersey and a few other Grendels. With their fists, the swamp beasts would crash their thunderous knuckles into the backs of the spawned warriors. All would tumble, turn into dust and sink back into the Earth.

    Shiela looks over at Isaiah, still having difficulty avoiding the smell of fresh human blood. Sheila looks over at her sisters Aubrey and Sophia.

    "NOW!" She points to the blood. "NOW, DO IT NOW!"

    The girls obey their older sister. Each of the twin girls' hands becomes a vast color of orange, yellow and red. The fire grows rapidly and are sent into the blood. Along the way, several soldiers are caught and perish within the flames. The blood begins to burn and turn into a thick, crusty black slab. Isaiah begins to inhale fresh air and before long, returns to his feet. Sheila embraces the Grendel, leaving a kiss on his forehead.

    "How did you know..." Isaiah leans closer into Sheila's ear. "....About the blood and that I'm, you know...."

    "I won't say anything." Sheila jumps back and returns to the others. "It's what we do, Isaiah. Learn about these things for the future!"

    Isaiah did not have time to question Sheila's reasoning, for another wave of soldiers were spawned.

    "FUCK!" Carla looks around. "I was not expecting those brats to control the bloodlust! He should have been consuming it and hailing on MY side!"

    "Allow me, my lady."

    "What nonsense are you planning on doing NOW, Hecate!? Nothing you have delievered is taking these fucking assholes down!"

    "You need to think bigger, my lady! This is the tip of the iceberg compared to what awaits you! You can't rush these wars, my lady. You-"

    "Fuck you!" Carla pushes Hecate down. "You have been nothing but trouble! Standing in my way! I was told you want to do something right, fucking do it yourself..."

    Carla scans the area. Think bigger, she thought. Looking around, she spots the very person needed to conjur up the one person she needed to finally end this pathetic war. To control not only the others but this town, the worlds and all the creatures within it. Leaping over two Grendels,
    Carla lands beside Georgie and elbows him in the stomach. Coughing, Georgie finds his footing and prepares to defend. Carla laughs, walking around the Fable.

    "Hello, Georgie. Nice to see you still walking around. I'm still pretty pissed about earlier. You know....your bitch wife ripping my arm off and all. Then, you getting in my way. I didn't appreciate that."

    "Fook off, ya' bitch." Georgie lowers his arms. "Ya' killed my son! Used my family fa' ya' own sick games but no more...if Emily won't stop ya', I WILL...."

    "That so, Porgie? Well, while the others fight off the never ending supply of warriors, you and I can handle this little issue we have."

    "Fine by me...." Georgie creates several pods of magic. "Ya' and me. Right now..."

    "I'm going to ENJOY splitting you open like a fucking Turkey on Thanksgiving, Georgie. Finish what that fucktard Bigby couldn't do. Pathetic..."

    Nothing would ever stop Georgie from taking Carla down. That was a given. Even as she began sending waves of powerful magic at him, he was determined to keep her away. Even if he died right now, Georgie knew he did his best to protect what was his and this time, it mattered to him. Carla use to be the sweetest girl ever; she never showed anger or hostility towards Georgie and seemed to have accepted the children. His love with Lyla. It broke his heart to see his sister-in-law, lost in the powerful world that once held the mightiest postition in the world, in shambles. Lyla peers over long enough to see Georgie and Carla. Her heart dropped and soon, the mighty wolf was on her way.

    "MOM, no!" Peter yelps in her direction. "You can't DO that, mom! She'll kill you!"

    "I'm not losing your father, Peter!" Lyla climbs up the rocks and towards Carla and Georgie. "I can't lose anymore of my family members! There are too many blood stains on this family!"

    "Mom!"

    But Lyla was gone. Peter did not have another opportunity to speak; a massive warrior with rusted armor and decaying flesh rose before the Wolf and sent his mighty shield across Peter's head. Katie, Junior and Penny noticed their brother's current status. Grinding his teeth, Juniors creates several groups of himself; each clone hissed, inching closer to their tragets and slashing each into the ground. Erica noticed several rotten teeth scattered around. The stench was horrible and the taste was ten times worse but Erica needed every single one of these teeth. She was behind Lyla, hiding along the edges and tracing her footsteps. Erica knew it had to be done. Her mother would understand....


    "Georgie!" Lyla searches for her hunsband. She could still smell him..."Georgie! Georgie!"

    The black Wolf, shoulder high and paws deep into the soft sand, tries to sniff out the location of both Georgie and Carla. The roaring battle below caused Lyla's head to spin. The anguish thoughts and feelings, living in this hateful world and knowing the damage Carla already caused was testing Lyla's patience. She tried to hold back the need to ripe Carla's throat out; she did not want to be burdened with her sister's death and have her blood tainted along her lips. But the more Lyla heard to the fight below, pictured her son and family, the more the desire grew inside.

    "Georgie!" Lyla tilts her head back and whines. "GEORGIE!"

    Taking another step forward, Lyla notices the black lump buried in the dirt. Her heart dropped.

    "No...please..." Lyla runs towards the familiar object. "Please God no....No...."

    Lyla ends at the foot of the Bowler hat. Georgie's hat. Alarmed, Lyla seeks for her husband. The tears began spurting through Lyla's eyes. She assumed the worse; a burnt corpse beyond recognition or his entire insides pouring from the gaping wound created by Carla. Lyla climbs the rocks, caves and weeds. Nothing. Inhaling, Lyla tries to pick up the scent of Georgie. The Bowler hat lined her lips, secured in her teeth.

    "Georgie!" As seconds pass, the images return. "Oh God Georgie, answer me! Georgie!!"

    Lyla stops near the edge of the cliff; looking down, she notices a river and several ponds. Nothing. No Georgie or Carla. Nearing the ends, however, Lyla notices miles of weeds, vines and thorns. At first, she thought Emily until the smell of Georgie returns. Jumping down, she only hears the scretch of a woman and nothing more until she finds two figures, one tall, the other short, near a clearing.

    Purple clouds rising from the middle and the Earth beginning to tremble....


    Any questions, you know the drill. Had time before work. :3

  • Woah talk about intense! :O

    Man I really hate Carla but the dialogue you give her just makes me like her! XD I was worried about Isaiah due to his condition, but now I'm more worried about Georgie :( The man has worked too hard to where he is now but like he said if he died there he knows that he did his best. I hope for the best though :)

    Awesome stuff as always man! :D Brofist

    I loved this post so freaking much. The intense feeling from beginning to end. Carla is playing dirty and luckily Sheila was there to stop it! >:( The Porgie kids are kick ass, man! I loved the description of the battle scenes as well. I agree with Tetra: the dialouge you created for Carla was hilarious but in a good way!

    I was worried about Georgie. I thought he was dead but I know you too well. You'd never harm Georgie, so the two figures must be him and I'm assuming the other is Erica but that's just a guess. I wonder what happens to Carla because I KNOW she's not dead. Hmmmm.

    Great job, pie!

    Good luck dealing with whatever it may be! We'll be here when your stories do return! :3

    This is just a heads up. I have a few things happening at the moment so I may not be able to upload another chapter for the rest of this week. Rest assured, I will still be here reading and commenting on the works of others.

  • Wow, this thread is really slowing down isn't it? :( I remember the good old days back in January when I joined -sigh- good times man :')

    I think the reason I'm struggling with the Vampire Challenge so much is because I didn't have much time to think the story up before I started it, which is of course my fault. I may just finish it at the Chapter 10 mark because that is the minimum requirement for the Challenge, but we'll see...

    I'm writing this in case anyone wants an idea of how much is left for me to write for that Challenge. Still not quite in the writing spirit but it is SLOWLY coming back to me.

    Hope every one is having a nice day though! It's really hot and sunny (and very windy as well) in England!!! XD

  • Hey it'll spike again! Just gotta give it time, I want to say its because summer can be a busy time but hell everyone's been busy anyways XD.

    It was either now or never. After kissing RJ goodbye and sending his son to school, Robert had an hour before Gren would return to the apartment. The peace and quiet was still new to Robert on certain days. Normally, he had Gren or RJ there to keep him company. The beast had forgotten what it was like to be alone with your own thoughts.

    Grabbing his phone, Robert finds the final ounce of courage inside to call Lyla. He glanced at the clock. almost nine in the morning. She was out doing her typical Thursaday grocery shopping. He'd catch her just in time. As the dial tone went through, Robert began to worry. Would Lyla really understand or will her reaction be identical to Rose Red's? It was now or never.

    "Hello?" Thankfully, she answered the phone.

    "Hey, Lyla. It's me. Robert...."

    "I know, silly." Lyla chuckles. "I saw your name. The beauty about caller-ID. Can't just prank phone call like you and Gren use to do."

    Robert laughs. "Oh yeah. Those were...interesting days."

    "So what's up? I know you didn't just call me for the fuck of it."

    "Are you busy?" His heart was racing. "Like, right now?"

    "Is everything alright, Robert? Is our son okay?"

    Robert was shaking, still holding the phone. "RJ is fine, Lyla. He left about fifteen minutes ago for school."

    "Good because when I called this morning-"

    "He's fine, Lyla. I just....need you to come by right now."

    Silence. "Robert, you know I can't do that."

    Sex, thought Robert. She thinks I want to fuck her. "No, no, Lyla. Not....that. I need to talk to you."

    A sigh of relief. "Oh man, Robert. You had me worried there. I was getting ready to nut up on you or something. What do you need to talk to me about? Can't it wait until tomorrow when we see RJ practice?"

    "This won't take no more then ten minutes, Lyla. Then you can go about your day."

    "I'm actually not that far from your place, Robert. If this is seriously important, then-"

    "Yes." Robert did not give her a chance to finish. "I need you to come over now, Lyla. This HAS to be discussed."

    Lyla did not give a warning she was disconnecting the call. Robert heard the tone and then silence. He knew the thoughts that must be running through Lyla's head. Robert's mind began to fill with the possible outcomes for the ten minutes he and Lyla would have, talking about his sexual prefference. The biggest one so far: How did you know and why didn't you say anything? Robert would not lie to the mother of his only son. She deserved to know, too.

    Right on time, Lyla knocks on the door. Reaching for the door knob was Robert's final moments. He could have ignored the knocks. Given an excuse later when she called but this was child's play and both were adults now. Neither had the time to waste and Gren would be home in any minute. He was not hiding anything from Gren but this was between him and Lyla.

    Her smile allowed those agnuished thoughts to vanish. She was beautiful as always; her short chestnut brown hair, amber eyes, long legs and glorious skin. She wore a yellow sundress with black wedges. Placing he rpurse on the counter, Lyla takes a seat on robert's couch.

    "Place looks really good, Robert."

    "Thanks. Can I get you a cold soda or some water perhaps?"

    "A soda would be nice. Not too bad outside but my throat is parched from walking up those stairs."

    "Dr. Pepper alright with you?"

    "Of course, Robert."

    Lyla glances around the room, looking at all the things packed into thw tiny two bedroom apartment. She noticed Gren's suitcase sitting upright along the wall. It broke her heart and spirit for a moment. Noticing he stare, Robert laughs nervously.

    "He's been here for almost three weeks now, Lyla."

    "I know." Lyla pops the top to the soda. "He told us during dinner the other night. The kids, especially Emily, love when he stays over so many nights but I worry about his kids."

    Robert picks up a pillow and examines the corners. Anything to avoid 'The talk'. "You know he saked me this odd question the other day. About the kids and all?"

    "What did he ask you?"

    "Something along the line of, if I've ever felt like something truly wasn't mine but you didn't have the evidence to prove it. Or, it was something like that."

    Lyla takes a sip. "He....he asked me the same thing a week ago, too. I'm sure sure what he's talking about, Robert."

    "Neither do I. Thouht maybe you did."

    "I'm just a clueless as you. I've told me sister to file for divorce. I guess she HAS the papers but....won't do it, for some reason."

    "Same with Gren. It's obvious they both want a divorce but they keep saying the kids."

    "Gren says the kids. Carla is just being a bitch now. Her thing was, 'We already are divorced'. How does that make sense? Because he sleeps over here now?"

    "Guess so, Lyla. You know Carla better then I ever will."

    "I just don't know what's gotten into her. She's changed, Robert. And I don't like it."

    Robert scratches his face and smiles. "Well, you can't make a person do anything, Lyla. All you can do is sit back and show support."

    Lyla was silent. Her eyes focused on the wooden floors. The loud honking, corwds gathering outside and the people upstairs was drowing out the awkwards silence between them. Robert did not mind but he could tell by the look on Lyla's face that she was not ammused with their conversation topic. She takes another sip, wiping her lips and crossing her legs.

    "Whay did you really call me over here, Robert? I know this isn't just about Carla and Gren."

    Robert smiles, looking at the pillow again."You always were a quick one, Lyla. No one can hide anything from you."

    Lyla reaches over and grabs Robert's hand. "What is it, Robert? If this isn't about sex or RJ, then why call me over here?"

    Robert inhales, grasping tighter to Lyla's hands. "Lyla, what if I told you something that no one knew of for centuries. Not even Gren and I recently accepted myself and I no longer fear what others will think."

    Somewhere in her eyes, Lyla already knew what this was about. She stared long into Robert's face. "What are you trying to tell me, Robert?"

    "I'm gay, Lyla. I'm....gay. RJ knows, Gren knows. You now know and I told Rose but she didn't take it too well."

    Lyla sits upright, still holding onto Robert's hand. "I thought you might have been, or, at least bisexual."

    "What?" Robert was surprised. "How....when did you think this?"

    "You just have this 'feeling', Robert. It's difficult for me to explain. Just how you took care of yourself. How you held yourself, spoke to others. For example, I recall you really touching your coworker, Phil, remember? During the picnic, you had your arms around him, embracing, laughing. Getting close. I assumed you were being friendly but it makes sense, now. What straight man gets that close to another man, especially in public? Unless you're really friendly, Robert, no one."

    "What else gave you clues besides that? This is all new to me....I had no idea you thought this."

    "I didn't want to say anything incase I was wrong. How awful, to accuse someone of being gay without them telling you. I'd had to start that, especially in Fabletown. We all know eachother some way or another, Robert. You'd have people banging down your door asking if the rumors are true."

    "What else, Lyla?"

    "Our sex life, Robert. We rarely had it and when we did, it was three times. One I conceived RJ with, obviously. You seemed terrified to jump into bed with me and when we did have intercourse, you were acting as if I 'forced' you into it. You didn't look like you were enjoying yourself, Robert."

    Robert sighs. "I WAS enjoying just....not for the right reasons, Lyla. You're beautiful. Stunning, really and Georgie is lucky to have you but I guess, those 'feelings' was more of a comfort thing. Knowing you were there for me. You were my best friend, Lyla. You still are. I feel like, I can talk to you as so, then if we were a couple."

    "I agree, Robert. This is why I was not as devestated as you were when we broke up. It was two friends having fun. That's it."

    "I see that now." Robert sighs. "Man, do I feel stupid."

    "Don't say that, Robert. You didn't have a choice. I understand. What makes me angry, though, is the idea of people like you being forced into these things. Pretending or hiding from the world. Themselves. I'd hate to see my own child go through that and if our son is gay, my heart would break, knowing he's living a lie. Creating children because he 'has to'. Get married to a woman because it's 'the right thing to do.' It kills me and I'm sorry you had to do this."

    "Hey, I got my son out of it." Robert pats Lyla's hand. "And you, so, there are two positives to this."

    Lyla continues to smile. "So, RJ and Gren know? How did they take it?"

    "Well, Gren was stunned at first but was proud that I came out. He was mad at society, not me. RJ was like whatever. He could care less. Got that from you, thank God."

    "He loves you, Robert. They both do. You can tell them tomorrow you slaughtered ten people and they'd still love you and never look at you differently."

    "Whoa whoa, there. Ten people?! Lets jump over the gay hurdle, then we will talk."

    Lyla stands up. She and Robert join in an embrace. "I'm proud to see you happy and finally being okay with yourself, Robert. You're smiling a lot. It's nice to see it."

    "I feel like I can jump over the moon, Lyla."

    Lyla pats his chest, then grabs her purse and prepares to leave. "So, anyone you've been looking at?"

    Robert begins to think of Frank. His heart breaks. Still no returned calls since their night at the Pot o' Gold. "Well, there is ONE guy...."

    "Oh who is he, if, you don't mind me asking?"

    "I don't kind. His name is Frank. He's, um, the Jersey Devil's brother."

    Lyla was shocked. "Jersey has a brother named Frank? I....he never mentioned this to me. I just saw him three days ago and-"

    "You did!? No Frank or him being mentioned at all?!"

    "No, nothing Robert. He came down to give the quads their gifts and hand deliver his to Katie but....no. No Frank. I'm sorry, Robert."

    Robert walks Lyla down the stairs, through the halls and outside. The air was heavy and thick. Taking her sunglasse out, Lyla places them on her face. Standing beneath a tree, Robert looks around at all the faces. How many of them wer hiding something, too?

    "That's alright. i'll try and reach him again."

    "I'm heading to the Pawn shop later to see if he's interested in dinner tonight. I'll ask him for you, if you'd like."

    "Please." Robert smiled brightly. "I'd appreciate that. Just....ask Jersey if he knows where Frank is. Don't mention the 'g' word. Jersey....he does not know, yet, about Frank."

    "Promise, Robert." Lyla and Robert hug before she heads down the street. "See you tomorrow, Robert. I'll call RJ tonight. And don't worry. You're still the same Robert I knew then and now. Don't let anyone tell you differently."

    Robert watches as Lyla waves one final time before heading towards the Cut Above. As he turns to face his apartment, there is Gren. Nothing but smiles. The two brothers embrace, head upstairs and spend the afternoon catching up. But as Robert excuses himself to use the restroom, his phone rings. A text message. Looking down, his heart stops and mind begins to race. The largest smile growing across his face.

    'Hey Robert, it's Frank. Meet me at Rosa's in an hour. I wana see's ya's again. xoxo'

    LOL Good luck with going back and reading all those stories. We all changed from last year up until no. lol

    Well, I look forward to your next chap and what will happen to Nick, Damien and the sudden bullshit they are dealing with.

    I love it! Friday nights are for the single and the 'frisky' people. XD I LOVE Wet n' Wild Wednesdays! That's tomorrow!!!!! :D :D :D

  • Yeah Pie's stories with Lyla and Georgie were.... different :P

    I think I'll include Penny into the next chapter, get used to writing her character :)

    Oh man, you are gonna be the death of me with these clubs!!! XP

  • Oh man I knew Lyla was going to be understanding but just like Robert my head was racing of what she could possibly say! XD Thankfully Lyla was nice and understanding about it! :D And the highlight of this chapter has to be the end! :D Go Robert! Be happy! :D

    Awesome stuff as usual! :)

    It was either now or never. After kissing RJ goodbye and sending his son to school, Robert had an hour before Gren would return to the apart

    They were but it was the foundation for where he's at now. We all went through that on the thread. We all grew. :3 I had a different OC before Robert. He sucked...bad! XD

    Oh yes please! Also, gives people that opportunity to get use to her name in your story, especially since Damien just walked in. :0

    Hey, I'm a single white male living in San Fran! XD This city is my toy box. :P You'll have fun with me! :D

  • Yeah wasn't his name Matt? I never read anything with him... Who was he? Why did he suck so much?? :/

    I'm kinda worried with using her though, I really don't know that much about Penny. Pie has given me a load of info, but I fear I'll mess up by making her either too nice or too bitchy. I know Penny is a 'wild' one that does her own thing, but she has a heart of gold and is a kind person.... She's basically her Mother right? :P

    Indeed it is, enjoy it while you're single :D I would as well, but then Keisha might kill me :(

    You'll have fun with me! :D

    So long as I'm sober when we have this 'fun' then I won't feel bad about it later XP

    Lyla was always going to be understanding. She's a total sweetheart with a heart of gold. :3 But I'd be in the same place as Robert, especially after Rose. It's tough but she understood. :)

    Yay! FrankxRobert! :D I have to brighten up these poor dudes' lives, Tetra! Think Robert is happy for once in his life.

    Thanks, dude! Glad you liked it! :D

    Nah his name was Max and he was a Vampire. No one really liked him. He was boring and tbh, it showed I did not care for the character anymore. Robert was created a month later and me and pie would collaborate later.

    Do not worry about Penelope. you'll be just fine. She's basically Lyla. She's the sweetest woman you'll ever meet but she CAN be a bitch, if you piss her off. Just like Lyla, Penny is willing to avoid conflict but if a fight is needed, so be it. she does not go looking for trouble. You'll be fine, Hman. You got this!!! :D

    YAY! That works for me, dude! you have your cokes and I'll stick to my Cosmopolitans! :S

  • I see. Max is a Vampire then, that sounds pretty cool, but if you say he sucked then I'll believe you :)

    I think I'll do fine. What I really wanna know is what is she like around a man who she is in love with?! Damien has the same hobbies and interests as Penny, but he doesn't shy away from conflict and likes his weed way too much :P I think Damien knows not to piss her off, he'll probably assume she'll leave him if he does!

    Oh no no no NO. I am gonna drink every cocktail in the place, but if I black out and weird stuff happens when I do... you're responsible my good man >:) Nah jk, I won't get smashed, but I won't be drinking nothing either XD

    Trust me. He sucked and no pun intended. XD

    You'll be fine. Ask him about how Penny acts around the men she loves. :) I'm sure it's like her mother, too: giddy, silly and chill. I can see Damien and Penny butting heads for awhile but that's the beauty of a relationship that is sturdy.

    Nothing weird will happen to you. Trust me. :)

  • Lol :P

    I can do giddy, silly and chill :P I said to Pie that Nick and Jayne are more of a 'mature' couple that just like to walk and talk, Damien and Penny are a 'young' couple who don't know what 'get a room' means!! XD

    Not by you perhaps...

  • Damned cliffhangers! (Joking..........still)

    Anyway, this scene between the shadow and Kieron was, again, filled with feels (I swear to god, the feels level on this thread will create its own digit). I am interested in whom this shadow is, or what it is.

    Dracula's methods of mind-screwing Claire are quite effective, if nothing else. Crafty indeed. I am going to go on a lam and assume that Kieron is going to show up next chapter in assistance.

    As for your references to Castlevania 64, My first gaming experience was in the waning year of the 6th Generation so I would not know a damned thing. Could you point out the reference?

  • Lo! XD

    This is a fight between Kieron and his own Shadow or what his inner thoughts are if that helps :)

    He may or may not show up ;)

    In Castlevania 64 Dracula fooled one of the main character named Reinhardt Schneider, which was the muscled idiot lol, by shapeshifting his body to a child named Malus. :)
