'Well, I just wanted to check up on you.'
He leaned in closer. 'You...you had any flashes of memory recently?'[/quote]


Elsa poured herself some tea and added a little sugar. She gave it a stir then placed the spoon down on the table. Picking up her cup she leaned back against the chair again
"A few here and there but nothing major, just an image from time to time"
She took a sip of her tea taking a moment to savor the taste
"I did have a strange dream once but It didn't make much sense"
she set her tea down on the table
"Were you able to gather any information?"


Chastity looked over at her father then back at mordial
"Do you know anything about loosing your memory, how you can get it back?"
she looked over at Mawthrough
"I was told he has to forget about everything he has done in order for him to remember"


"yes a contract, its a way of saying I work for you"
she looked at darkion
"So what are we doing here? who did you infect"

Zigera nodded, her face very weary, "That.....would be very nice...."

Livia shrugged, "I don't know, but its clear that daddy wants to be with you for as long as he lives. And that's good enough for me."

Tynan assisted Zigera to the dinning hall. "I'll sit you down at a table, and I'll get you something to eat and drink." He told her, as he walked her to a table, and sat her down in one of the chairs. "Do you have any preferences?" He asked her.

Nijuu smiled warmly. "I'm sure I'll enjoy the surprise, because it comes from Daddy's heart."

Zigera thought for a moment, "Meat....and lots of it....cooked very well....and....I like to drink.....umm, orange juice, with a bit of vodka in it."

Grey was pacing back in forth in the hallway, the ring in his hands, "How am I going to ask her....."

Livia hugged Nijuu, "I'm tired mama, you don't mind if I go to sleep now right?"

Tynan nodded his head. "Alright then." He said with a slight smile, then left to get Zigera something to eat and drink. As he waited for the meat to cook, he thought about the two girls he had seen walk passed himself and Zigera...he didn't know why, but they looked familiar to him.

Nijuu smiled gently. "Oh Livia, you never have to ask me if you can go to sleep." She hugged her close.

Zigera sat at the table, her eyes tired, she decided to rest her eyes while waiting for her food.

Grey walked in just as Livia cuddled up with Nijuu and fell asleep on top of her. "She took an instant liking to you."

Tynan walked back to the table, carrying a tray of various cooked meats, and a nice tall glass of orange juice with a good shot of vodka. He placed the tray on the table, and rested his hand on Zigera's shoulder. "Dinner is served." He spoke softly.

Nijuu looked at Grey and smiled. "She's a very sweet girl." She said, then looked down to Livia, as she ran her fingers though her long black hair. "When should we tell her that we're expecting?" She asked Grey.

Zigera got a whiff of the food, and said, "Didn't think you'd actually get me what I wanted.....or the orange juice....." She picked up the glass, and downed it all in one gulp.

Grey smiled, "I think you should tell her when you start getting big, I wanna see how she reacts to two new lives......"

Tynan sat down. "And why would you think that?" He asked, as he looked at Zigera, slightly surprised that she downed the orange juice so quickly.

Nijuu smiled warmly looking down at Livia, as she combed her fingers through her hair. "By then we'll need a place for the babies." She looked at Grey. "My house is far too small for all of us."

Zigera shrugged, "Most people don't put any effort into helping, or even getting to know me......" She took her fork, and cut off a slice of meat, before biting into it.

Grey placed his hand on her belly, "I have a place in Colera, well, not just a place, a skyscraper, one that we can have all to ourselves."

Tynan folded his arms. "Well, I'm not most people." He commented. "And I wouldn't mind getting to know you either."

Nijuu placed her free hand on Grey's hand, and smiled. "That sounds lovely." She looked at Grey. "I love you so much, Grey."

Zigera continued eating, bite by bite. "Not much to tell, I'm just a girl with a monster inside her."

Grey hugged Nijuu, "And I love you, and I'll love our babies, and the family we're going to have......."

Tynan raised his brow slightly. "A pretty sadistic one, mind you." He commented. "But you, yourself, are pretty compassionate. If you don't mind me saying."

Nijuu rested her head on Grey's shoulder. "I really hate that Genesis keeps hurting you through me..." she whispered softly.

Grey looked Nijuu in the eyes, "I can suffer for as long as needed, as long as I'm with you. Nothing you do, will ever make me hate you, or stop loving you as much as I do."

Zigera sighed, too weak to protest his comments, she merely continued eating her food.

"I'm going to grab a bite while I'm here. Do you want anything else?" Tynan asked, with a slight smile on his face.

Nijuu smiled gently, closing her eyes, and submitting herself to her tiredness.

Zigera shook her head, and kept eating.

Grey gently fell alongside Nijuu on the bed, and began to rest as well, his body needing the rest after the day he had. Livia was snug and happy, held between the two.

Tynan nodded his head once, and walked away. As he walked, it came to him...those two girls looked like his mother. He stopped dead in is tracks, and looked back at Zigera. 'I can't leave her here by herself.' He thought, then his stomach began to rumble. 'I'll have to find them later then.'

After a few hours, Nijuu woke up. She carefully got out of bed and walked to the bathroom. After a few minutes, Nijuu emerged from the bathroom carrying a folded piece of paper, with Grey's name on it. It was clear on her face that she had been crying, and had wiped the tears from her face. Nijuu placed a gentle kiss on Livia's forehead, and as she left the room, she placed the letter on a table, where Grey would see it. She then left the room, closing the door behind her carefully, so she wouldn't wake Grey and Livia from their peaceful slumber. Nijuu placed her hand on the door, as tears began to come to her blue eyes once again. She then removed her hand from the door, and made her way to the roof of the academy.

Zigera stood up, "I'm going to the roof for some air, you go after those girls I saw you eyeing," As she began to walk away.

Nijuu's kiss had awoken Livia, and she saw the moment that Nijuu had left the room crying. She stood up, and entered the shadows of the academy, quietly following Nijuu.

"I was not eyeing them like that." Tynan protested, but then he thought it would be a good idea to find evidence to prove his point.

Nijuu had found her way to the roof. She stared up at the stars, her tears flowing freely now, as she thought of the night she and Grey had spent under them.

Zigera had found her way up to the rooftop, only to find Nijuu up there. She approached silently, not knowing what to say to the woman her brother loved.

Livia was resting in a shadow, not knowing what to do.

Nijuu stepped towards the edge of the roof, closing her eyes to take away the temptation to look down.

Tynan ran back to his room, and nearly tore the place apart to look for the picture he had of his mother, and the last letter she had written him.

Zigera walked forward, "You should be more careful while you're up here....you know......" She was walking steadily toward Nijuu.

Nijuu opened her eyes, and looked at Zigera. Her blue eyes stained from the tears she was still crying. "Zi-Zigera..." she spoke softly.

Tynan had found the picture of his mother, and the last letter she had written him, then left his room in search of the two girls he had seen earlier.

Kerri and Kari had just finished eating dinner, when they saw a man running through the halls of the academy like his butt was on fire.
