Rising Moon

[Synistergrrl]

~Almost two weeks had passed and it seemed that for Izzy at least, things were okay. Seven spent every single opportunity to teach her. Unlike their sire, he didn't force her or try and command her. Instead he lead her easily through the more brutal things and almost gleefully through things she took interest in. It was how he should have been taught, he realized, but it didn't matter now, he had Izzy and that was all that was important. He found himself reveling in it, every new discovery, the way her face lite up as she realized something knew, and yet, he knew this wasn't what she'd wanted. But somehow that hadn't seemed to matter really.~

~It wasn't Izzy that was having the problem, it was Ives. Something was changed in him. He wasn't lost and falling apart like before when Damian left. No, now he was full of anger, a rage that rippled through him. Most of the time he could hardly contain himself. Izzy would remember this anger from before, before they met Ramsey. She'd remember how volatile Ives could be, but even this seemed extreme. It seemed the smallest things set him off and more then that, he was furious with Damian for up and leaving him like this. He'd assumed Damian would come back after a night or so, but he hadn't and it simply bred more and more anger in the young wolf. It sent Ives over the edge and nothing, not even his perfectly stunning sister could bring him back now.~

~Sitting on the roof of the abandoned house, Ives watched the moon begin to rise. In two weeks it'd be full again and then what? He'd be at the mercy of the beast inside him and there'd be no one there to help him through it. Truthfully there was a part of him that was somewhat looking foreword to it. The idea of being this deadly creature. A thrill rolled through him at the idea of the hunt. He'd regained some of that lost confidence just by this little accident. He just wished Damian were there to see him now, to see the true Ives. He'd been missing for so long now, it was time for a reconnection.~

~A growl rolled off him as he got up, angered at the fact that he longed still for Damian. He moved inside to find Izzy and Severn. Not that he had to look hard for them. He knew where they were. He'd stopped them from going after Damian, forcing them to understand that if Damian wanted to be there with him, that he'd have stayed. And now the unlikely threesome lived somewhat oddly in this old house.~

~He moved through the dark house, knowing that any moment they'd be waking. He could feel them stirring, no... it was more that he could smell them. They almost smelled like corpses, least that was the best description Ives could put to it. It always sent a chill down his spine. He knew the hunter, the predator inside him could sense they were unnatural, not right. That this thing with no heart beat shouldn't be walking or talking, much less moving around as they did, like living creatures. That part of him wanted to rip into their throats and tear out their hearts. But of course his rational mind screamed that was insane. That Izzy would never hurt him, never leave him. She was, after all his sister, blood called to blood.~

~As Izzy rose from her death like slumber, she'd find her brother all but perched on the end of the bed. Her twin, her other half, looking more and more feral every day. She'd always wake before Seven, every single night. But not on any of those nights so far had Ives dared to breech their inner sanctum. He'd always waited for them to rise and come to him, as if he were afraid of what he'd find in the room. But this time, he was there, leaning on the bed. And then slowly he crawled up, laying next to her, touching her paled cool flesh and sighing as he nuzzled into her.~

Would you have ever guessed we'd end up like this, Iz? We who always talked so stupidly of opening our own potion shop in Diagon Ally... I hate myself for missing him... Iz... make it go away...

~His voice wasn't so much a plea, but more a demand as he sighed again and closed his eyes. He wanted Damian to be there, but at the same time he wanted to punish Damian for leaving him alone through this. Wasn't this what the wolf had wanted all those long empty nights while the moon blazed down on him? Hadn't he almost bitten Ives so long ago and hadn't Ives all but begged him to do it? And now, now that they deed was done, he'd up and run off, like some cowardly creature that couldn't face it's own future.~

~Izzy~

-Her eyes snapped open and even in the pitch darkness of the room she could see Damian's shape, almost smell him, things had changed inside of her so drastically she couldn't begin to explain to Damian but she knew it was the same for him. Reaching out she tugged him closer as she curled on her side against him like she had so many times before as children, when she'd had a bad dream. Now the dreams were far worst but she couldn't wake from them. Nuzzling against him she let her fingers play through his hair. She felt the wolf inside of him and it almost scared her, as if she could feel at any moment he'd tear her apart. What would they do the night he changed? She hated to admit it but they needed Damian back ... -

He'll come back .. I know he will ...

-She rose slowly knowing until now she'd cautioned him to wait but she also knew that was for a selfish reason. But would she give up Sevan for him? She sighed softly gazing down, her eyes had taken on a sharp sheen, her skin paler, she was no longer the Izzy from childhood but something all together different ... -

I think he's just frightened and guilty of what he did. I know you miss him ... it's been hard on you .. changing like this .. I have Sevan atleast to teach me ...

-She frowned softly but than slowly laughed at the thought of what dreams they'd had ... -

Who says we have to give up that dream? It could be a huge success we could call it "Vampire and Werewolf Potions Unlimited" ... I'm sure it'd be a success ...

-Smilling softly she leaned back down against him, curling against his side as she draped her arm across his chest and buried against him. Things had changed so much, the past two years had been so hard on both of them, but more so on him, she knew Damian was the only thing that had kept Ivy's sanity and now he needed him the most. She prayed he'd come back .. he had too ... -

[Synistergrrl]

Right... we can call it Garlic and Wolfsbane... I think that would be more successful then Vampire and Werewolf unlimited...

~The sarcasm dripped from his growling voice, but he sighed as his dark eyes lifted to the boarded up window. He could feel the moon, pulling on him. Sighing softly he looked back at Izzy.~

Have you considered that we might need to get chains to make sure I can't get loose?

~It was Seven that responded though, having woken and heard the conversation, or at least the tail end of it.~

I don't think there's anywhere in this ramshackle house we can chain you too that would withstand your strength...

~He pushed up and looked over at the twins. His head cocked and those blue eyes met the wolf's dark eyes. And though Ives felt that animal crawl through him, he was also completely aware that these two people right here were the only ones on earth that were prepared to stand by him. He was grateful of that. He knew full well that Iz wouldn't leave him, not when he needed her, but Seven, well he didn't have to stay did he? Ives wasn't stupid, he knew Seven stayed because he was connected to Izzy, not just by blood or whatever, but by deeper feelings then that. He could see it in the vampire's eyes when he looked at Ives sister.~

So what do we do then?

~Seven looked to Iz, leaning down and brushing cool lips over her cheek before looking back at Ives.~

Truthfully? I think you should let us go and look for Damian... and if we can't find him, then we go to the woods, far away from people. Izzy and I will hide out and you'll just run free. I don't know what else do tell you, Ives. It's dangerous... specially this first time. I hear that you can't control it, not even with potions...

~Ives growled a little and pushed up off the bed.~

If Damian wants to be here, then he'll come back on his own....

-Izzy's gaze landed on Sevan as he spoke slowly. He knew he was right. There was no cage strong enough to keep Ivy and she couldn't bare to see him in such a contraption anyway. The woods seemed like the best idea, they'd keep an eye on him and if he got to close to humans they'd be there to restrain him, hopefully, Izzy remembered how even Sevan's sire ... her sire ... had been hard pressed to keep Damian at bay. She shivered but reality crashed back down on her when Ivy growled. She frowned a little and than tugged him a bit closer, wrapping her arms around his neck like she had to many times before as she kissed his cheek ... -

Let's go out ... you can get some food and we can explore around huh ...

-Changing subjects seemed like the best idea and when she shooed Ivy to go change and let her and Sevan change as well she gazed back at the dark haired creature at her side. Pushing him down on the bed slowly she nuzzled against him, letting her fangs trail down his neck, having felt Ivy so close brought that creature from deep inside of her out. Biting teasingly, drawing that sweet necter, she lapped it up like a kitten would milk, half purring but than she pulled back slowly as she licked the blood off her lips ... -

Go find Damian ... I'll spend the night with Ivy trying to get his mind off things ...

-She frowned a little bit ... -

I hate to admit it but we need him .. I'm not sure we'll be a match for Ivy when he changes ... we can't restrain him without hurting him .. and I can't hurt my brother Sevan ...

-Izzy sighed gazing off slowly ... -

... not again ...
