[Aug 21st] Finally getting to Dristan

Lili stops what she is doing pulling herself from the mental memories and walking over to the desk as Dristan sits down. She leans over his shoulder, resting her chin on his shoulder and reading.

"A journal...But...Why was it tucked away and hidden like that?"

Dristan kept reading and his eyes widen as he lookednto Lili. "He sold his soulntona demon so that our family..." He remembered his grandfather and enjoyed spending time with him when he was younger and the anger was apparent on his face.

"Our lives all the prosperity, power and magic all because....." He read further. There had to be more. The ritual. The name of the demon and why the seven deadly sins. Maybe a way to counter act all of this.

Dristan read on but the journal didn't seem to go too much farther outside of the deal. The name wasn't written down and nothing about the Sins. Just where he had met the demon which was on an island off the southern coast of England itself. He called it 'the Lost Isle', nothing either of them had heard about. The next page had a scrawled map and an 'X' where the island was supposed to be. If either of them looked at any map in the study...well...

That place didn't exist on the map...

SHe could see the anger. Could feel it radiating in him. She didn't know what to think. She had only been in this family less this six months and this was a whirl wind of information.

"Alone, or with family? Remember we we have more family now. I can try to reach out to Darius....Try to find him, tell him we figured out something. Maybe he can go with us...What about your mother? Your uncle?....I think we should leave Dmitry and Mattie out of this. Its not their fight..."

"This isnt a fight for Teagan and Mary..." She looks at him. "Unless you want to fill Mary in on everything. But i dont know how she could help." She looks at him and leans against the desk.

"I will try to send him something--Maybe I can get through to him. I did at the Hospital..."

"I will. I hope he does. He seemed at least semi together at the hospital when you had your accident. Said he had it under control for now, but it was getting harder. Its probably why when you write him before it was all scribbled on. He didn't have control"

She looks at him and Nods. "I'm scared Dristan...Honestly. What if we can't fix this..."

"I hope i'm right too...." She whispers.

She wasn't sure about what was goign to happen. WOuld Darius write her back? Would he meet with them? Could she get him to come to Hogsmead during a weekend so they could talk. At the mention of kids she laughed a bit. "I dont know if i want kids." She answered honestly. "At this point, not like anyone will ever get close enough to even try"

Her eyes met his for a moment and she shrugged turning and taking a few steps away. Her eyes scanned the book titles on the shelf.

"Family is everything Dristan- But its nothing if its falling apart." She turns to him and sighs. "My whole life has been a series of lies and misfortune. Adopted, lied to about magic, lied to about my family, sure maybe it was protecting me, but what if i wasn't magic, would they have ever told me I was adopted, my ability and believing I was cursed...I found a great family, blood family and even that is getting ripped away before I even get the chance to know any of them. What if the demons come out of Darius or his father. What if it comes out of you, or me..."

She chews her lip to stop from letting her emotions flow. "If the family falls apart- what else is left..."

"We dont have control of this Dristan...If we cant fix this..." It would seem both were fighting the emotions they wanted to show.

"Okay. So, we have to wait until the holiday, which wont be until Christmas...."
