Liliana had spent the last few days at a nice hotel in downtown London, using some of the family fortune for cushion. There was so much going on she couldn't keep it sorted and she needed to be alone. No Vampires, No Family, No nothing...She rented out the suite for a short time, and letting them know it could be the rest of the summer until school started back up. Elijah was the only one who knew where she was, and sitting on the couch phone in hand....Now so did Dmitry.
She wasn't sure how she felt about him at the moment. He had taken off just like Dristan had....She hadn't heard from Dristan either. Her heart ached over the whole situation. Who did he think killed his father? Why did it feel like the blame was being pointed to her? He had asked about what she saw....as if he was trying to compare the stories...She shook her head and put her phone down. She looked like hell. The dark circles under her eyes show signs of lack of sleep. The nightmares were back and she couldn't control them. She had accidentally touched a hotel worker and a flash of their death.... She seemed thin, as if not worrying to eat, or not eat much. There was to much on her mind. With a heavy sigh, and fixing her gloves she set the phone down and walked to the balcony over looking the city. Dmitry would likely be there soon and she needed to prep herself. She was still angry with him. She was angry at Dristan and she was Angry and her aunt for not telling Dristan. Her hands held tightly to the railings in deep contemplation and after a quick second shook her head and backed away. Raven was layed out on the floor of the room and looked up at her huffing.
"Don't worry boy. Your not getting rid of me that easily....I just wish I had more answers then I do. I wish I could talk to Dristan...and just..." She goes quiet looking at the large dog. "I dont know anymore...."  |

Dmitry had the hotel name, He wasn't sure what he was going to say when he got there or what he would be walking in to, but never the less he grabbed his pack threw in some cloths and a few other items. He got dressed in to a pair of black boots, relaxed jeans, a slytherin tee shirt and his black leather vest with his wand tucked in side. He walked down stairs and in to the kitchen where he scribbled a note. After he fixed the note on the counter he called for Elijah and asked him to take Dmitry to the hotel. With a raised eyebrow he walked out to a waiting car and started it. As Dmitry stepped out side he happened to see the skid mark he left on the drive way. "Dad is going to kill me for that one" he said out loud before getting in to the car. The car ride wasn't that long or he wans't paying attention he wasn't sure. Either way they were at the hotel. Elijah opened the door and to told him how to get to the pent house. Dmitry thanked the old man, slung his bag over his shoulder and walked in. He got a few looks walking in but he didn't pay attention. He walked back to the elevate and pushed for the top floor. The elevator doors opened and he took a deep breath. there was only one door up here. slowly he approached as if expecting it to blow off it's hinges at any time. "well here goes nothing" he mumbled to him self and knocked.    |

Lili heard the knock at the door and turned. Raven huffed and followed. "Stop worrying boy. Its probably just Dmitry" She walks to the door and peers through the eye hole and stepped back unlocking the door and pulling it open. She steps to the side to allow him to walk in and as soon as he does she shuts the door and locks it.
Her hands were gloved all the way to her elbows and she looked...not nervous but definitely on edge. Maybe it was the lack of sleep? "Hey..." She says softly finally looking up at him.

Dmitry walked in, his thumbs in his belt loops his shoulders rounded. He didn't stand with his usual posture. He had messed up and he knew it. as he walked in she shut the door and locked it. Standing in the hallway of the suite was Raven. Looking up when she spoke "hey..." and he stopped not sure if Raven would let him pass. She was going through hell and he could see it. she looked like she hand't slept or eaten in a while. He had seen this look before not just 3 weeks ago. "you going to let me walk in boy?" He knew dogs could sense there owners feelings and Lili had said Raven was protective of her.

Lili stands there just looking at him. She eyes Raven and looks back to Dmitry. "I just have one thing to say, and then you can decide if you want to enter or now..."
In one switch motion Lili took what strength she had and punched Dmitry in the lower chest/upper stomach. It probably hurt her more then him, but she needed to say it....well. Do it. She shakes her hand a moment and walks away into the main room of the pent house. Her eyes closed and the images flashed through her head again and she opened her eyes. She was losing it and she wasn't sure if Dristan was feeling it. She needed to keep it together. She didn't want to worry him...She needed to be strong. She needed to stay together...and she was failing.
Raven seems to laugh with the punch given to Dmitry and turns walking off and finding a spot near Lili and nudging her protectively.

It was a solid connection. It didn't hurt at lest physically it didn't, but it didn't need to hurt physically. the emotion behind it, the hurt, the anger, the pain even the sadness. "i deserved that" his hand absentmindedly rubbing his chest as he walked in. The place was huge and ornate in decoration. "like I said, I'm sorry I left. I just..." what could he say at this point. He had nothing, was he mad yes at Dristan, him self, the demons, hell even the black suite group why not. "you're right I have nothing I can say, words are empty and it's action that speak for us, and right now my actions haven't really said anything good about me. All I can do is ask your forgiveness, for lashing out a Dristan like I did, for leaving, for not calling you sooner, for not being there when you needed someone. for all of it, I am truly sorry."
He took a seat in on of the hight backed chairs in the living room, setting his back down next to it and placing his wand through a loop on the bag.

Lili stood there a moment just watching him. She knew it probably hadnt hurt physically. but that wasnt the point. The point was to get what aggression she had left out. She couldn't keep being angry. It was only 4 days since Dristan had disappeared and she was already feeling the strain on the bond. She was having a hard time keeping her emotions under control and even more her ability. She was scared to touch him, scared to curl up into his lap where he sat on the chair.
Her arms were wrapped around her middle like they always seemed to be when she was closing herself off. "I just can't do this alone....And both of you leaving...that does nothing to help..."

He sighed quietly as he looked up at her, she was closed off, not moving to reach out to him as she spoke. She was coming undone, her appearance alone said as much. what she had said only confirmed it. He stood, walked over to the thermostat and dropped the temp to 65 degrees. Then he walked over and closed all the windows and doors. The temp was already dropping in the room. when everything was closed up and wall thermometer reading 68 degrees he walked over and opened his bag. From it he pulled a brown woolen blanket. It looked like it might be scratch but when he wrapped it around Lili it was soft and warm, almost as if it was hugging her. Then with out a second thought he picked her up, as if she weight nothing, and sat on the couch, curling her in to his arms. "You won't have to do it alone anymore" is all he said.

Lili stood there, eyes locked on the floor. She could hear Dmitry moving around her, but she wasn't really paying attention. She felt the blanket wrap around her as the room got colder and the drapes were pulled. She felt herself give in, almost going limp as he picked her up, brought her to the couch and curled into him.
His words hitting hard until she finally broke. "I just...I can't. I can't keep doing this rollercoaster. Its too much..."

"Then get off the roller-coaster, this is your stop right here. You're just like your cousin, out and alone. Just stop. Stop trying to do this on your own. Stop thinking you have to do all of this on your own. Damn it Lili your not alone, what has to happen to you? I know I left and I shouldn't have, that was wrong of me to do. I'm not doing that again. Please stop trying to be super woman. Dristan has had years of it and look what its done to him, but you don't have do that, you don't have act alone anymore." He couldn't understand what was driving her to this madness. "Please tell me all what's going on, bring me in on this. Let me help shoulder all of this with you." he held her tightly, wishing she would just let him in. let him get closer again and allow him to help her.

Lili just looks at him, eyes on the verge of tears. "Its not that easy to get off this ride Dmitry..." She whispers. "There is too much going on, and I can't seem to keep it straight. My father, Dristan, The nightmares, the suit group, my ability everything. Its all crashing down and I..." She pauses burying her face into her hands.
She loved Dmitry. She wanted to be close with him. And in this moment she wasn't sure if she was going to be able to. Her mind was racing a hundred miles a minute and it felt as though the world was crashing in on top of her. You might as well had called it a panic attack, a mental breakdown, whatever it was, it was taking her over and she couldn't stop.

He sighed heavily. She needed help, but how. If she were muggle she could be given a pill or four and it would help her cope but there was so much more going on. He had seen this coming. Dristan was God knows where and the bond, though strained, was still being fueled by his emotions. That on top of everything else it was amazing how she was still even remotely lucid. His mind was racing while he held her, he could feel her shivering and he was sher it wasn't because of the temp.
Holding her he stood up and walked in to the bed room and laid her on the bed. "Stay here, I'm going to make a call. Raven, buddy I need you to keep her here" He walked out closing the door and took out his phone. He flipped through his contacts tapped and made a call. From the room she could her him talking. "Hey, yea she's here. No she's worse they we might have thought, Yea, probably, I don't know there's nothing I can do for my self I need your help. Do you have kit, yea I'm not sure she's eaten or slept much. That'll work, Yea if you could bring a whole set up that might work even better. Sure that would do it. I can even help if you have enough I just don't have anything with me. yea, Hey bring my notebook as well it's in my room in my night stand, we can use a couple things from there as well. and bring some clean empty vials. Ok, uh-ah, yea. Let mom I love her and I'll be here at least to night."
He ended the call, bumped up the temp to a comfortable setting and walked back in to the room. "My love help will be here soon I just need you to try and relax." he moved her over and laid down next to her.

Lili lets him pick her back up and bring her to the bedroom. "Dont take them away.. I dont want to forget" She whispered, her head burried in her hands and the tears silently rolling down her cheeks. "I need Dristan...I need this to all be better..."
Raven climbs into the bed curling up with Lili and resting his large head near her. She reaches out for Raven curling into him and sighs. She wanted Dristan there. She needed to know everything was okay with him and he was safe. Her head hurt, more so then any other time she had to deal with it. She felt the bond straining and she didn't understand. Her eyes closed once more and she tried to fight the images that threatened to show themselves again. She feels Dmitry near her again and clings to him. "Have we tried to send an owl...anything to Dristan? His phone is here-- But what about Shadow...? Has Anyone tried to contact him..." She whispered through shaky breaths.

"we won't take them, I know you don't want them taken away. But whatever we come up with, meine Geliebte [my love], you have to trust me. can you do that for me. Can you trust me to help you?" He wasn't sure what he would do for sure, he had some tricks in his book and he had more resources coming soon.
"no we haven't tried sending an owl to Dristan we can try that later, but again no matter the outcome you have to have some faith in him and trust that he is safe." Again he wasn't sure what do, he'd try his best to get in touch with him but He had no way of knowing if a letter would find it's way to him.
He pulled her close wrapping his arms around her. He wished he could shoulder her fear and anxiety to take it from her so she could think clearly.
It was about a half hour after the phone call that there was a knock at the door, it was a distinctive knock. "Lili I have to go answer the door. Hold on to Raven if it helps. I'll be right back."

Lili sighed. "Its not that I dont trust..." she whispered. "He's so far away...." She shivers again, eyes closing. "Fire, and Wood...cold and heat. Exhaustion. Its all I can sense from him...." She sighs not able to fight anymore. She couldn't push away, couldn't fight. There was no energy left. When the knock at the door sounded, Lili jumped. She was so in and out of reality at the moment she couldn't care about it.
She heard Dmitry's words, but there was no response. She wasn't sure who it was, nor did she care in this moment.

"Thank god your here, shes in here" she could here Dmitry talking as the door opened and shut. A few short moments Dmitry walked back in to the room followed by Elijah. "hello Miss Lili, young Dmitry here tells me you're in a bit of a state? lets see if we can change that." He was pulling behind him a large trunk. Dmitry had pulled a lager table into the room so they could work.
"I'm not sure what we should do first.?" Dmitry looked over at her. "she's in hell right now"
Elijah looks over at her. " Miss lili can you tell me what is going on?"

Lili was unmoved by the added voice knowing now who it was. She looked up at him, and all but looked away.
"I dont want to talk to anyone. No one can fix this" she whispers. I don't want to forget, I want to be back to normal. The nightmares, the ability, every thing is falling apart" She sighs and looks away. The older man watches her with soft eyes. "Yes, it does seem that way doesn't it" he replies. "But I do not think your cousin would want you like this.."
"Well, He's not here to tell me otherwise or to help the situation is he" Her words were cold, harsh almost. She was upset with him. Like Dmitry he deserved a good punch to the gut for leaving her. But she also missed him and the strain on the bond was feeling deathly.

He looked at her as she spoke to Elijah, he could see the old man listing and thinking. He was coming up with a plan, "I think I have just the thing though the name might not help any." and with that Elijah set to work. he pulled a cauldron out and other supplies and began. He lit a small gel fuel can alight with his wand. He began adding ingredient as he muttered the order to him self. "Powdered infusion of wormwood, powdered root of asphodel," he stirred the mixture s it simmered, "sloth brain, sopophorous bean juice," adding the final ingredient he gave the brew a few more stirs and stopped. pulling a goblet out of th trunk he ladled some out and let it cool.
He turned back around to Lili and regarding her carefully, "ok that's one part ready. Now you say you don't want to forget, but that everything is falling apart. so I do believe this will at least help." he takes out his wand and points at Lili on the bed and whispers "felix fieri" a light pink glow streaks through the air as his moves his wand. After a few moments Elijah clears his through, "how do you feel now miss?"
