Aisha was panting when she landed in the garden. She looked at David, the man she believed to be David. She tore his glasses off his face.
"David! My David! My Siren, My love!" She wrapped her arms around his body, pulled him close. She kissed his lips even though they were different lips, but she didn't care. It was him! She could tell by his eyes!
"You called me! You sang to me! Talk! Talk to me please, please my love talk to me!" She grabbed his face stared him in the eyes.

David's world was spinning when they arrived in the garden. After a moment the world finally stopped spinning as Aisha tore the sunglasses off his face and finally he could gaze into her beautiful eyes with his once more. Her kiss, her words he had missed her so much. His arms wrapped around Aisha so very tightly and he was squeezing but he did not care as he returned her kiss with so much love and passion. His fear of never seeing her again was slowly starting to fade. "Aisha......my Aisha....my beautiful wife.....my beautiful bird." David whispers and continues to gaze.
"Take......please take it off. I can't....it will not let me." He whispers and gently take her hand to the golden cross around his neck. "I....." She could see he was fighting something trying to keep his mind in the present and not in the past.
"Rene....did all this to....me.....I be too far from th' sea. Send me aft t' th' sea. Do nay take 't from me again." His eyes starting to turn cold and primal from the charm.

Aisha didn't need another word, she ripped the cross from his neck and ripped as much of the pirate garb off of him as she could before pulling out her wand and using magic to strip him the rest of the way.
She sees the scars on his body, the ones that weren't there before, she looks at his face. "No. No. Everything is wrong. What did he do to you my love!" She was appalled at all the changes on his body. "Did he cut you open? What did he do!" She was crying again. "He even changed your voice! No, no this can't be! I love you my David, if this is you, I will take you, but my husband, my love, my siren, why! Why did you let him hurt you like this!?" She was in tears, pulling him back to her kissing him, as if she needed to relearn everything about it.

As soon as the cross came off the haze he had been fighting for so very long finally lifted and his eyes returned to normal. "He.....he brought the monster in the mirror out and gave him a face." David looks away from her. "My mind has been in such a haze. The memories.....I felt like I was drowning in them and now...." He kept his eyes away. "I woke up and I am the monster instead of the man." He whispers. "I had no choice. You got away and that is all that mattered to me Aisha. Nothing else mattered and I knew I was not going to get away."
He was pulled back to her gaze and her kiss how he missed her kisses.
He walks over putting the jeans and boots back on and sat down now on a bench in the garden. "I...I killed under him. Several men that probably did not deserve it. I killed them." He lowered his head. "I do not know if I can ever be the man you fell in love with. That man was taken." He whispers. "He did it again. He did whatever he desired to me all over again. I hate him." He gazes up at her and brings her right into his lap and wrapped her arms around her and just held her now.

She sat in his lap and curled into him and loved that she was in his embrace. "You will always be the man I fell in love with. It doesn't matter what your face looks like David." She touched his face, ran a finger over it.
"Mary said that if he can do this, Erskine can undo everything. He is probably here somewhere. Maybe. He might be out with Mary though. I don't know where she is. It doesn't seem like anyone is home." She kissed his neck.
"Forgive me for coming here. Forgive me for not going to the Tremere." Tears were still falling down her face and her words were broken but she loved the man. She couldn't hurt him. "I will help you my love." She said. "If you hate him and want to kill him. I will help you." She said with a bit of a darker tone to her voice. She couldn't stand that he was taken from her.

David looked around and then to Aisha. "Why are you asking me to forgive you. You went to the right place beautiful bird. You went to Mary and Exo and I am very happy you did." He whispers and kisses her softly and slowly wiped her tears away. When she said that she would help him kill Rene he fell silent and his fangs bared but at the same time he was finding it hard to be angry full at Rene....blasted blood bond. But the more he thought about everything and Aisha's reaction to the scars on his chest, arms and the way he looks and his voice he was finding the will to fight that bond and be angry.
Then he heard the darker tone in her voice. His eyes returning to hers. "If anyone can fix me it is my brother." He nods and caresses her cheek. "By the way....very nice article you all did. Had Rene completely freaked out. Ummmm....the black cross that Exo gave me. I placed it in your purse when I bumped into you just in case you could not reach me tonight." He whispers.
When she told him that it did not matter what he looked like that she would always love him, it helped but at the same time he did not want to look like this. Her finger along his face brought some comfort.

"Then let us go see if your brother is home. I can not go down there. Mary told me it is off limits as is the third floor. I am sure you could though." She stands and takes his hand.
"Mary did the article. I think it was wonderful. Though, I promised Jillian something different for the reward if she stayed out of it. I hope that she left tonight after I spoke to her." She looked at him, stared into his beautiful blue eyes. "I would do anything for you my love. Anything." She pulls him up and wraps him in a hug again, holding him tightly.

David slowly stands after Aisha took his hand and heard that she had been actually staying at Mary's since he was taken. Good...means she was safe from harm and Rene would have never gotten to her. "Sounds like a plan." He whispers and for right now holds her tightly to him as she hugged him tightly.
"Wait....Jillian and something different for the reward? And that would be? And she is involved in all of this?" He asked with concern in his voice. After a bit he walks with her and leaves her in the main room as he heads down to the door to Erskine's lab and knocks on it and walks back to Aisha now. He did not know if his brother was here or not and he was not going to go down there without his brother's permission.
He wraps an arm around Aisha and just holds her never wanting to let her go ever again.

Erskine had been deep in his studies and his latest experiment when he heard the door to his chamber knocked, then the knockers retreated up the stairs. Was it David? It sounded like him but also not like him.
He turned off his laptop and walked upstairs after locking his chamber door. At the top of the stairs he heard movement from the living room, as he enters the room and sees new David and Aisha he rocks his head and both could see a long blade like appendage, not unlike the arm of a praying mantis, slide from his right sleeve.
'Aisha! David? What has happened you?' he closes the distance between them and begins to circle David. Touching the scars where he was cut open. In a hate filled whisper, 'The Butcher!'

"She isn't involved no. I will explain later. Much needs to happen now. I need to know what is going on with everyone else also. Jillian should of left. Quinn can care for herself. She is a strong witch, a smart witch. Also I gave her quite a bit of your money." She chuckles softly as Erskine shows up, she kisses David gently and then stares at Erskine.
She wasn't sure what happened to his arm, wasn't sure she wanted to ask. When he closed the distance between them, she stepped back a bit so he could look at David. She listened to Erskine.
A plead in her voice as she spoke in a soft whisper. "Can you fix him? Can you undo whatever they did to him?" She had tears forming in her eyes again as she prayed that Erskine could undo whatever it was that was done to him.

David stood there with Aisha and listening relieved that Jillian was not involved in this whole mess. "Wait you used my money? Wow you definitely went all out." He smiled but inside oh Darren was going to give him an earful. Her kiss brought him out of his thoughts as he heard Erskine and was silent at first and then saw the appendage but it did not frighten him in the slightest especially dealing with The Butcher. David nods to his brother in agreement as he was touched on the scars to his chest and arms as Erskine circled him.
"They put things inside of me. My rib cage some type of metal. My muscles have....what did Rene call it? Poly carbon fiber in the muscles of the entire of each arm and then my face. I was in a complete haze and I woke up like this in Saint Malo." He forced a sigh remembering waking up and freaking the hell out seeing the monster had a face. He wanted it all gone and be himself again.
David looks to Aisha and gently wipes her tears and looks to his brother. "I do not care what it takes brother. I will endure anything." David whispers and places his hand on his own throat. "My voice as well."

Erskine moves quickly to stand before Aisha, his cold black alien eyes glistening as he watched the tears form in hers. His hand had returned to its normal form. Whipping a now falling tear from her cheek. He smiles at her, 'Do not fear my Sister-In-Law! I shall do all within my abilities to return our Songbird!'
Erskine turns to face David once more, lifting his arm he slides his fingers under the skin and around the muscles, feeling he metal that now as as much a part of them as any other part of him.
'Brother, this will take you from the world for along time! I can promise you more pain than you had with me when I made you beautiful. Aisha! You will be needed to help at times. He will need you both physically and mentally during this.

Aisha looked at both of them as they both wiped tears from her face. She smiled softly. She felt she was among family, something even among her own actual family she didn't quite feel that way. She blushed softly.
Then she watched as Erskine put his hands on David's skin. Moving around under the flesh, she blinked several times staring. She was glad that she hadn't had actual food in her system or she might be a few shades green at the current moment.
She listened as Erskine spoke. "Of course. Anything at all. I will be there to help. I want to help." She said standing tall. She wouldn't shy away. If there was something she could do, she would do it.

As soon as David felt his brother's fingers under his skin immediately his fangs bared and a lot of hissing out in pain and his body was shaking. But he was using his fortitude to not fully cry out in extreme pain. He could feel Erskine's fingers on the metal inside of him as his eyes turned primal but he was restraining right now. "What....whatever it takes brother. Do what you must." He hissed. His eyes look to Aisha and she would not only see the primal in them but the fact of pain was definitely in them.
"What....what can be done brother?" He growled.

More arms than a person should have slip out of the folds in his long coat and support David.
'Easy brother! It can be returned to what it once was. Tell me do you know why this was done? he removes his hand from David's arm and produces a metal cylinder from his jacket and offers it to David. 'Drink brother, it will help your weakness!' there is something in this blood that revitalizes David more than normal blood.

Aisha watches, amazed at he many arms that come from Erskine. Like Exo with his third eye, now another sports a Shiva like quality about them. The many arms don't seem to alarm her as she stares in awe. Why did it seem like two of the ones in this home had qualities much like her God.
Was it a sign? A sign that this was where she belonged all along? That her path lead her here? That maybe because her God didn't speak to her was because she had made it to the detestation she was meant to be at? Her mind reeled in on itself as she watched, trying to make sense of it all.
She took a seat on a chair and watched Erskine hand something to David and tell him to drink. She wasn't sure what to say in the moment.

David fell into his brother's many arms and growled. Damn that as painful to say the least. "Some....something about making me stronger and having it to where my heart could not be pierced. I guess he was trying to make the perfect pirate." He whispers and takes the vial and drinks all of it and his brother was right. Definitely different and a hell of a lot stronger. He could feel it coursing through him and he was fully able to support himself again.
"Oh you are going to have to tell me what was in that one brother." David looks at Aisha and could see that she was amazed by Erskine's arms and looked to his brother and back to Aisha. He was a bit confused but right now nothing was said. His mind had a very dark thought but it was pushed to the very back of his mind right now.
"How long will it take to do what needs to be done?"

Now that David stood himself, Erskine's extra arms recede into the folds of his clothing. He walks to the window and looks over the moon lit garden.
'Without the Butcher's notes it will take longer. I truly don't know until we start. I hope no more than a month, if what you say has been done is the case.'
Looking at Aisha he adds, 'Does my appearance disturb you? Should I be more....' he seems to struggle for the word, '.... be more aware of others feelings?'

"Your appearance doesn't disturb me. I am rather in awe at the moment." She chuckles softly. "More that you and Exo both have attributes to Shiva." She said quietly. "I find it surprising that Kindred have taken to the images of Gods, or is it written the other way around? I do not know. But it is intriguing to say the least." She said
She saw the look on David and wondered what was going through his head. She smiled at him, love shinning in her eyes. The she heard the word month as it registered in her mind. She would barely have enough time to get ready for classes but that didn't matter, she would rather be here and then rush to get to classes instead of be away and not next to David.

David thought for a moment. "His notes are on the ship in the north sea or on him I do not know honestly. But as I stated. I will do whatever it takes." Once more silent as he listens to Aisha's answers to his brother. This did not make any sense to him. She loathed all of them and hated the Sabbat as a whole and now he is returned and she is very different. His eyes would show that something was not adding up to him and then it was gone as he walked over to the couch near Aisha and sat down.
He could not shake the feeling. What was he missing or not understanding right now. Could it be chalked up to the charm he was under earlier and for all these past nights or was there something else? He leans back now and quiet closes his eyes and lets his mind wander soaking everything in and trying to fully piece everything together. A long surgery, a long recovery, what the butcher had done, what Rene had done, and now something was not right with Aisha. She was being too friendly.
Slowly his eyes open and he leans forward and just keeps trying to piece everything together.

Aisha stands when David sits and she goes and sits in her spot at his feet, her head rests in his lap and she smiles up at him. Missing him so much, the void being filled just being in his presence again. Even if his face was different, that didn't matter to her, he was here. Her husband was home and she couldn't of been happier. Nothing that had transpired this past week could accumulate to the way she was feeling with him back.
If she could shine like the sun, she would probably have that glow about her right now. She was crying again, happy tears for once at the fact she could touch him, hold him, be with him. She didn't care what the journey held now, they were together and there was nothing anyone was going to do to keep her away from him now. She didn't care if he commanded her to leave, she would never let him go away again. She held him tightly, her arms wrapping around his legs. This was her love, her whole world. She couldn't stop smiling up at him, looking at his face. She wasn't even registering the fact that something was going on in his mind, not yet anyway.

David was pulled from his thoughts seeing Aisha at his feet and in the proper position. Gently he strokes her hair smiling down at her as his eyes danced in hers. The way she was looking up at him he could tell she was beyond happy and could only imagine what she had been through since he was taken.
His fingers gently gliding along her long hair he tilts his head a bit and basically taking her all into memory all over again as though he was meeting her for the very first time. Her scent....there was something different about her scent...he shook his head and forced a sigh.
"Je t'aime bel oiseau." He whispers and for the moment still remains quiet. Something was gnawing at him.

Aisha and David still a few moments in the garden before everyone arrives back from the sudden battle that transpired. When they return, David takes Aisha to the couch and brought her into his lap and held her close to him.
Aisha snuggled deeply into his chest and his hold. Waiting to see what would be said from the others.

A split in reality formed near the fireplace, which opened into a gateway into the Abyss. Mary stepped out, still dressed in her pirate finery, her hair blowing in an invisible breeze, eyes ablaze with green fury, and six long tentacles of darkness waving at her sides. The cold of the Abyss clung to her, body and soul, and as the portal closed behind her, it took a moment for her to register that David and Aisha sat there watching.

David was lost in his own little world still reeling and trying to get his mind to fully focus and it was a bit of a struggle at the moment. The concern he had was far suppressed but the problem was he still feeling some of the effects of the charm and the bond to Rene. His grip tightens around Aisha wanting to remain here in the present. Then he saw Mary appear right out of the abyss and the way her eyes looked he did not say one word. If she was here where was Rene? He could tell the bond to Rene was not broken which meant Rene was still alive somewhere.
This was far from over it seemed and he would not be dragged back to Rene again and the next time he saw his sire he would kill him. He had to. Not merely for the fact the hell twice now he had put him through but what he had put Aisha through taking him from her.
"Where is he?" David whispers.

Aisha clung to David as his gripped tightened around her. She felt something was wrong, she looked towards the fireplace following his gaze, Mary was there.
"Where is Quinn? Did Jillian get away?" She asked right after David asked about Rene.

Maria smiles. There is absolutely nothing human in the expression. No hint of warmth or humanity, just cold determination. "Safe." she says. "Enjoying the hospitality of some old friends." As she steps away from the closing portal, the tentacles of darkness begin to withdraw, but the shadows continue to cling darkly around her, as if she's brought part of the Abyss into the world.
She looks at Aisha. "When I took Rene, Quinn was battling his wizard, and Exo was off to take care of another problem. I saw no sign of Jillian, I assume she escaped in the stampede."
With the tentacles gone now, she takes Exo's chair and sits, then looks back at David, and examines him critically. "They did do a job on you. I will be most interested to hear your story when you are willing to recall it. I need to know just how much punishment your sire," she spits the word, "deserves."

David was dead silent as he listened to his lady and where Rene was and hearing where the others were as well. "Our brother says he can hopefully correct what has been done but Rene still exists the damn bond....." He growled using his will to fight the bond and to keep talking and damn this haze that was still somewhat there. "Punishment.....I want....him to suffer for everything he ever did to me most importantly what he put Aisha through but not dead. I want to be the one that takes his life." David hisses and even Aisha would know this was the beast side of him coming out.
"His vanity and arrogance knows no bounds. The worst that can be done to him besides death is to strip him of everything. His looks, his voice, his mind all of it." David knew Rene very well and what to take away from his sire to break the man that was the cause of all of this.
"He ortin' ta be slowly fed t' th' pets o' th' sea goddess herself. Only t' be pulled aft at th' brink o' Davy Jones' locker before his life be finally taken by me." David caught himself at the end and forced a sigh knowing the charm had not fully worn out yet.

Aisha stood from David and looked at him. She became lost in the magic for a moment, giving him a full evaluation. At least one to the best of her abilities. She knew that Erskine would take care of the physical side of him but the magic side, the magic that had been put on him, that was something she had to try and fix. She quickly excused herself and went up the stairs to the room she had been staying in.
With in a moment she was back with a note pad and quill quickly working beside her. The quill was taking notes of her thoughts of what might be wrong with him. Where magic might still be at inside of him. She worked ignoring the conversation around her between David and Mary. She had to make sure her husband was going to be okay. She couldn't believe that she forgot to do this to begin with. Her wand pointed at David and she whispered "Aparecium" the spell she was casting would reveal magical spells around him.
The quill began to write feverishly.

"Calm, my brother. We can savour our revenge. He bound you? Not unexpected, but unfortunate. A Vaulderie is needed quickly, and many over coming nights, to wipe it away."
She takes off her hat, throwing it onto the coffee table and plays with a lock of hair idly.
"He is suffering as we speak. The Abyss is not friendly to those unfamiliar. He could already be insane, or dead. Though if you still feel the bond, not dead. When Exo returns, we shall give you your first taste of freedom from him." Maria turns her attention from David, to the witch now working furiously to put right some of what was done to him. "Aisha, can you scry? Can you look on the battle and see how Quinn fairs?"
