Liliana waited for a moment as she seen someone take off, and Dristan following suit. SHe looked to Dmitry whos arm wrapped around her, and in a quick notion she took off through the crowed to try and follow. Sure, she should have listened to Dristan and stayed with Dmitry. But what can you expect... She is an Adamson after all.
She followed through the crowds before stopping at the giant cloud of dust and rubble falling. "Dristan!" She yelled, running over the pile of rubble that lay there now, trying to pull the pieces off of the rubble.

The second Dristan took off running Dmitry grabbed Lili and ducked her in to the closet shop and slammed the door shut his wand out ready. People where running and yelling, a couple of curses hit the wall a crossed from them. when it sounded like the confusion had died down He grabbed Lili's hand and they carefully walked back out to hte street. It wasn't hard to tell where they went by the path of knocked over people and detritus. They moved quickly and cautiously following the path to an ally way, "Dristan!" Dmitry yelled his arm around Lili's shoulders ready to pull her out of harms way at any moment. Slowly walking forward his want out ready to strike at the fist threat he called out again "Dristan where are you".
Coughing through the dust he saw it. A pile of brings and wood lay in the middle of the ally. The remains of what looked like a chimney. Putting two and two together he quickly yelled "Reducto" and the bricks began to disintegrate bit by bit until they one spell hit something and deflected away. A shield charm, he had gotten one up before the bricks fell. "Dristan hold on don't move and drop your shield!" he yelled. with one final spell all the bricks where cleared way, turned into dust with little effort.
As the dust cleared Dmitry held out his hand to help Dristan to his feet.

Drista was alright his shield has protected him and he had heard the screams of Lili and Dmitry but before the debris was moved his could not speak because he was fully concentrated on his shield. Once the debris was gone he dropped the shield and slowly stood up now and looked back to the roof the chimney came from and then he looked down at the ground and saw a picture. He slowly leans down now and picks it up and it was a picture of Lili and himself. His eyes studied it for a moment and flipped the picture over. There was something written on the back. It is true. She has found her siphon. We need the both of them now for payment with the deal from Arianna's family
Dristan flipped the picture again and brushed himself off from the dust and waved his wand and set the chimney back to where it was supposed to be and not rubble. His eyes looked to Lili and back to the picture. "We have a problem." That was all he said as he looked back to the roof again.

Lili sighed with relief when Dristan stood up from the rubble. "What the bloody hell was that Dristan" She looked back to Dmitry and Dristan as he bent down to pick up the picture. His face said it all. something was indeed wrong....
"Whats going on Dristan. Why were you chasing after them?"

Dmitry, wand still out was looking all around ready for another attack or other unwanted attention, looked to the both of them "can we move this back to the room, I should be expecting a Ministry official any moment after digging you out and I really don't like being this exposed."

"Yeah the room will be fine. Go ahead and take her with you Dmitry and I will be along shortly after the Ministry official." He gave the picture to Dmitry. "We will discuss that when I get to the room now get going." Dristan put his wand away as he heard someone appear and Dristan walked over to the nicely dressed man away from Lili and Dmitry and started to talk to him privately.

Lili jumped in taking the picture from Dristan and looking at it. It was of the two of them, at some point standing together. The note on the back made her mind shift as she watched it. What was a Siphon...? She looked at Dmitry and Dristan and nods. "Hurry back okay?" She said looking at him as the man appeared in the alley way.
She looked to Dmitry and nods, slowly turning and walking back through the alleyway and towards the INN

Dmitry heard the sharp crack of the Ministry official apperating to where they had just been standing. "don't turn around just keep walking, I really don't feel like having to explain anything at the moment." he whispered to Lili. He holstered his wand at his hip never really taking his hand on off of it and never really letting go of the magic he was holding on too.
It wasn't until they were back in the room that Dmitry completely relaxed. He placed his ring against his black dragon hide not book, muttered something and a bright red light flashed from his right to the clasp. It caused the book it's self to vibrate and take on a scarlet glow before settling down and going back to it's dull age warn mat black. "that's better" he sighed as he looked around room his hand again resting on his wand.
Looking at the bottle of bourbon sitting on the night stand. He kept an ear open waiting to here Dristan. "Lili?" he said still straging in the direction of the bottle althought his eye's were unfocused. "does the picture you took from Drstian look familiar?"

Several minutes past and finally foot steps were heard coming up the stairs. "Its Me, keep wands sheathed." Dristan called out and opened the door and walked in and closed it behind him and leaned against the door. "The man you saw me talking to was my father, he is a hitwizard for the Ministry. He is off right now to speak with Darius and I will need to get in contact with Darius here soon. He walked over to Lili now and looked at the picture in her hand.
"So you are a target as well as I now." He whispered. "The man appeared German." Dristan still looked at the picture. "I need information on Arianna." He sighed and sat down across from Lili. "I do nto care if I am a target but you Lili I will kill someone."

Lili watched Dmitry with his book and carefully watched out of the window a moment while Dmitry did whatever it was he was doing. WHen he asked about the picture she shrugs. "Its a picture of Dristan and I...." She looks up at him. "With a message on the back about Finding my Siphon and we are both payments..."
She jumps at the sound of the boots outside and sighed with relief when it was Dristan coming into the room. She was relived to see him with her and nods when he notes that it was his father who had come to see him. Liliana bites her lip a moment when Dristan comes to take the picture. "What does it mean Dristan? The message on the back talks about a siphon..."

The sound of boots raised his hair, the sound of his voice set him on edge, but the slow opining of the door and seeing the first sight of Dristan put him at ease. holstering is wand again, not realizing he had pulled it, he watch him close the door and lean against it. More questions, damn wasn't this fun. "Your dad's a hit wizard? Your being targeted? Now Lili is on the list? I'm sure this all has something to do with what ever link there is between you two plus her being an orcale" He walks over to the night stand grabs the bottle and glass while talking.
"Who was that you decided to go after? how long have you had someone on your A**?" He poured a glass for Dristan who was sitting a crossed from Lili and handed it to him. Dmitry him self took a pull of the bottle before capping it and setting it down.

"Who that man was I have no clue Dmitry. This is a first ever that I have seen someone like that watching her." Dristan whispered and took the glass and raised a bit to Dmitry and took a drink. "Yes my father is one of the best hitwizards that the Ministry has and the reason I am the man I am today because of him and his training." Dristan sighed. "Lili is the prime target according to that picture and now it is obvious I complete the set because I am her siphon....." Dristan paused for a moment and looked at Lili when she asked the same question.
"Siphon....." He stood up on and began to think. "It all makes sense......why did I not see this. I have to be near her, I can touch her without her being effected, same bloodline and no....it is more than a bloodline.....it is essence, pure essence." He looked to Lili now.
"Our souls are connected. Your mother.....she must have had the same thing with....Darius and when she left......." Dristan paused again and kept thinking.

Lili watched him, listening to him. "So they're after me....What does this have to do with my mom?" She was confused. "My biological mom is dead Dristan, why does it have to do with her...." she didn't understand, except that she could feel anger building up in her body. "So, it was me...and now its you too, and all because youre a siphon...." She shook her head.
"So. We're connected. Not just by blood but by other things...ANd your saying that Darius had a connection with My mom and...THis is too much Dristan. Can you put it in lamens terms for me because I am trying to follow and its not working...."

while they were talking Dmitry had gone back to his green notebook and had a page folded out, his quick quotes quill working feverishly in unison with his self-inking quill. His brow furrowed, his voice low. After a few moments he spoke his German accent now thick. "Dristan, I need you to think long and hard. As far back as you know was there ever a time where someone in your family sacrificed them selves to save there significant other out of pure love?" He was drawing lines, writing formulas and paging through notes. There was a potential connection, there had to be there was no mistaking this.

Dristan looked to Lili once more. "Your mother was an oracle. She would need a siphon just like you and I bet that Darius was her siphon and now I am your siphon Lili. It means that you draw power and balance from me to help you control your gift. When we are apart both of us suffer tremendously to the point of madness and back together the balance is restored." He whispered and sat down now. He looks to Dmitry now at his question and closed his eyes and went into very deep thought.
After several moments slowly his eyes opened up. "I do not know of anyone that ever did that. Lili and I come from a long lineage of dark wizards. So I just do not know. Our history has always been surrounded in utter secrecy so I just do not know."

"WHy would she leave Darius then if he was what balanced her out? We still don't have a ton of answers and who knows if any of what we are thinkging is true..." She shrugs and sits down on the bed, leaning agianst th wall/headboard. She watches Dmitry and Dristan as they talk and shrugs.
This whole thing was getting odd to her and she couldn't figure out exactly what was going on or what was going to happen. But it was probably something much bigger then she could imagine.

"fair enough. I ask because there are a lot of similar markers right now to a case not so long ago. Back at DI remember the secret group I was a part of, well some of them had parents that fought in the Wizard war, on the other side. There where more that joined during the 2nd for the first time." he took another sip, this was going to be difficult to talk about but he had to, this was to familiar in to many ways. sure it was different in far more but he had to talk it out.
"Some of these new death eaters kept there identity hidden so well the never were caught. They where the ones in the Ministry of Magic. They worked as Auror's, With the Minister him self, even in the department of Mysteries. It was from them we got a lot of our information. we even managed a few research papers. One such document was co-authored by Albus Dumbeldor him self after fudge was removed in 1996. In this document it was discussed how Harry had a connection to the dark lord him self. It was known the he was obsessed with horcuxs. Making these requires on to rip apart one's soul." He uncorked the bottle and took another small pull, "It was said that his curse rebound a part of his soul latched it's self to Harry, giving them a connection. Now if my Theory is any where near correct Your fathers blood line has had more then a couple instances of fratricide committed by someone who's soul had been ripped apart once prior. Nows here's where things get sticky. There is only one thing in this known world that will deflect the killing cures. The power of a loving sacrifice. Someone taking a bullet for someone else, as the muggels say it."
He pauses to take a breath and then draws his conclusion. "One brother would need to have done something so egregious in his life that his soul where to fracture, then attempt to kill his brother only to fail because a love one "gets in the way" sacrificing themselves. This would case the cures to rebound destroying the caster and imparting a part of there soul on to them. Now beyond this the connection would end UNLESS the first brother had a child or one on the way, the connection might pass on or a part of the soul could attach to the child thus making the connection to amongst those of the original blood line. This would at lest explain why you two are connected. The fact she is an orical must be magnifying this reaction some how espcially if she needs to have someone to recharge with. And what better person to do so then the one she is bound with through blood." He stops walking he didn't even know he had gotten up and was pacing. "and all of this could mean that you share far more then either of you know about at the moment. even...." he stopped turned on his heels and looked aright at Dristan. "when you were down stairs, waiting on us did you FEEL anything? anything at all either like an motion that wasn't yours or a touch that wasn't or didn't happen to you?"

"My best guess at the moment Lili was whoever that man worked for came after Arianna and she fled to protect you and Darius. Keep herself separated from her siphon so that her gift would not work correctly and and when they wanted you she did what any mother would do. She made sure you were protected the best she could and she led them away." Dristan finished his glass and put it down. "Now.....you are an oracle and I am your siphon now who ever they are want the both of us because of what you and I can do together." He sighed and looked to Dmitry and listened to everything that Dmitry's theory had.
The words he took into his mind and he processed all of it and even looked to Lili now as Dmitry spoke. "Again I do not know if anyone in our family ever did anything like that because my own parents have already told me they do not even know or understand the connection between Lili and I and the portraits as home will not speak about this either." Dristan rubbed his face and sighed.
"If that is the case Dmitry and your theory is sound which it could be it means......that our lineage is caked in darkness and blood deeper then I ever dreamed it was before. To his last question Dristan lowered his head and thought long and hard. "Actually yes I felt something what it was I do not know but the feeling was there and something that felt like a touch to my skin." he whispered.

Liliana sat listening to Dmitry as he went off on his tangent even getting up to pace about the room. Her head leaned against the wall, eyes closed as she listened to his words. Her mind wandering itself though still keeping up with the conversation. As Dristan spoke her eyes opened.
"She was protecting me...." She said softly. "She left me alone, left me in that hospital, for my parents to adopt me and took off. So when we were in the forest and I found that stone, and I found that it was my mom who appeared to me...." She looked away.
"If that's the case, then your right. We need more information on my mother...."

Dmitry rubbed his eyes, he was tired, border line exhausted. He was great full that they would heading back to the castle tonight He just wanted to stay in his chair. He folded up the page he had mapped everything out on and ripped it from the green notebook, closed it, unlocked the black one which flashed red, and set the tor page in side. While he led it he muttered something and the page became a part of the book. He closed it again and locked it. His head felt heavy, this had been one hell of day.
"I'm guessing" he stood and crossed to the bed motioning to Lili to move to the side of the bed away from the door, "it felt like someone touched your lips, right? Like some one kissed you almost?" he said with a sigh as he slumped on the bead.

Dristan glanced at Lili when she spoke of the stone and it was a look of she should not be speaking about that stone and looked to the floor again going back to his thoughts. "Yes.....your mother.....I need to speak with Darius. He has to know something. I will send him an owl to meet me at the estate to speak with me, the man chronicles everything always has, he has to know something." Dristan whispered. He watched Dmitry pull a torn page and move it from one book to another. "May I ask why all the writing Dmitry and moving one page to another book?" He asked curiously.
Then hearing Dmitry's question Dristan took a breath. "I was not going to be that descriptive Dmitry but yes that it what I felt just did not say anything because I do not understand why I felt that." Dristan spoke and looked to the both of them once more.
"This is all getting crazy. Now her and I have to deal with gits wanting to snatch her and I. The summer plans are not looking like good ones at the moment." He sighed.

Lili scooted when Dmitry came and motioned her so he was closest to the door. She looked to Dristan noting the look and shrugged finally feeling sleep pull at her after days of evading her each night. She sighed. "Why must things be so difficult" she whispered. She opened her eyes for several moments looking at the room and sighing.
This was becoming too much to fully handle and take in at the moment. "Well. How about we focus on all of that tomorrow. For the first time in days I actually feel as though I could sleep..."

"The Black book is my, safe, if you will. As you know if you read my paper work I was the team Captain for Durmstrang. I was given that very book my first day to keep all my notes, rosters, ideas, spells, and other things. There is only one way in to it. And that is if I want to get in to it. The ring is part of the key. Anything goes in that book it will stay in that book. Should anyone try to force it open or otherwise try to get in to it". He yawned "well easy to say there'll be a pile of ash where they once stood."
Another yawn hit him, this one bigger then the last, "the writing and what not you've been seeing is me making sure I don't miss anything. Truth be told I've rather taken a fond liking to your dear cousin I would very much like to know how to keep her safe in the future. so I note what I see in the green book which is the exact same style of notebook as the black one. Because of this I can move pages between the two of them. it's a nice little feature, you could, if you wanted, add 3 or 4 note books worth of pages to one volume. The charms on the book keep the pages compressed and it doesn't change it's size you just keep flipping page after page." He stretched out in to a laying position. "Some wizards index the inside cover for faster reference. I Figure I will need to some day myself epically," another yawn "hanging around this family" A lazy smile played a crossed his face as he drifted off to sleep.

Dristan watched the both of them fall asleep and slowly stood up grabbing the blanket from the bed he was sitting on and draping it over the both of them. Walking to the door he made sure it was locked and went to the window after pouring himself another glass and swirling it in his hand. The night had fallen quiet and Dristan remained unmoved from his standing vigil over the both of them. He was tired yes but both of them were in his care and that incident with the unknown man did not sit well with him.
A chaotic laughter cried out from his mind and Dristan just kept drinking after taking a potion to not get drunk. He watched everyone walking past the inn right now. He was not going to get caught off guard again and if anyone was stupid enough to even attempt to take Lili from they would roll the dice against the bone man. Everything so far was running through his mind. How were their souls connected, why them, why was this all happening?

It wasn't long before Liliana drifted off into a deep sleep. It was odd, feeling the need to sleep creep over her. For the first time in weeks she did't have any dreams. She was content, laying there in the room with Dmitry and with her Cousin and she was peaceful. Even at one point, curling up with Dmitry on the bed with the blankets around them. there were a few shifts, but for anyone watching, the sleep was blissfully quiet...
Until....
Just passed midnight, Lili stirred slightly, shifting in the bed to lay away from Dmitry, her arms tucked under her the pillow and under her head. The dream was quiet, the flashes of such a familiar face and the images even pulled a smile outwardly on her lips. As the images change, the blissful and peaceful sleep slowly disappears. He begins to shift as the words speak to her. Her eyes move back at forth, the tell tale sign of an active dream. She is calm at first, simply watching what is happening. The demeanor shifts. Her body grows a little rigid, shaking almost as the dream progresses. She begins to murmur in her sleep as if she is talking to someone, a cool sweat appears at her forehead, her eyes shifting almost in a panicked state.
"You didn't. You couldn't have....Dmitry..." She whimpers almost crying out to him. Inwardly Lili scrambles to walk through each scene, actually able to walk through each of the desolated area's the blue flames smoking around her, and the smells... The smells of death hot flesh and broken rubble and wood.
"Life and Death..." She murmurs, as if to repeat something, shifting and moving away from something that seems to be in front of her. In a quick moment, Lili lets out a small cry and eyes open.
She finds herself back in the room, in Hogsmead, body shaking and covered in a cold sweat. Her breaths in are quick and shaky.

Dmitry, sound asleep, never moving, no longer worrying about anything was in effect dead to the world to any one watching. At least until he herd his name come from her. Normally this wouldn't have woken him up, the tone in her voice however is what roused him.
He was on his back, mouth slightly open one arm on his chest the other over his head. When she cried out he was bolt up right scanning the room hand at hand that was above his head no crossing him to his hip for his wand. Lili made another small cry. He looked down at her she was shanking, muttering about life and death. Her hair sticking to her forehead, she was sweating. "Lili. Your ok, Lili wake up your just having a nightmare" she didn't respond she was slightly ridged. "Lilianna? come on wake up." Still nothing, "Dristan! she's in trouble, She's stiff and shaking over here." He looked to Dristan who was sitting by the window Time to test our theories of your bond. If either of us is right YOU could wake her up. I won't she's already cried my name and something about life and death. Not going to risk adding to it!"
He looked over to the window to see Dristan moving a cross the room. As he reaches the bed Lili wakes up. Her eyes now open.

Before even Dmitry spoke Dristan came from the window dropping his glass and shattering it on the floor and right to Lili's side and noticed her eyes were open possibly awake but not sure. He had bared witness to her nightmare at least her reaction to it and without a word removed a glove from her hand and entwined his fingers to hers and unshielded his mind so that her gift would work plus he was within her mind speaking to her that she was safe and it was a nightmare nothing more repeatedly over and over.
His eyes fully locked on his cousin letting their bond and his legilimens do what it had to, to try and calm her down and fully wake up.

She could hear Dmitry....She could hear his words calling out to her. She could hear the shattering glass on the floor. As soon as Dristan's hand intertwined with in her own it took only moments for her eyes to blink, and for Lili to roll onto her side. Her eyes were closed, her breathing slow, and deep. Her eyes opened, blinking several times before they focused and met Dristan's eyes. They were wide and dialated. She shivered with the cool air and the sweat covering her skin.
"Dristan" She whispered softly. "Dmitry..?" She turned to see Dmitry there still on the bed with her.

"Are you okay?" his voice hours, he hadn't realized his throat was dry. "What happened?" He was throughly confused, he had made sure not to touch her at all and yet it sound like she had another vision something to do with him! "can I get you anything" He started to get off the bed, again she saw something that had to do with him something that again seemed to lock her up. He crossed the room to put some distance between them. He didn't want to cause her any more trouble.
He sat down in the high wing backed chair one arm reseting on the arm rest as he leaned the opposite direction resting his chin on his fist. Life and Death, Dmitry, her crying voice still echoing in his ears. What had she saw, that morning he had kissed her and she was fine and Dirstan was down stairs. This time he was in the damn room and he made sure he would touch her. So what did she see and why did it locker her up so much so that it took contact with Dristan to snap her out of it.

Dristan did not speak but in Lili's mind she would see him standing before her. Hey mini me. See you are alright. You are safe. No one will hurt you see even I can speak to you here to reach you. Outwardly Dristan looked to Dmitry at his reaction to everything and looked to Lili and back to Dmitry again. "Dmitry listen very carefully because this is going to tire me out and will probably make me pass out but still come here and place your hand on mine and hers. Do not ask question just do as I ask you."
When Dmitry was ready and had done what Dristan asked of him. Dmitry would feel himself being pulled into Lili's mind and standing now in front of Lili with Dristan to the side of them. Now both of you speak as I keep this connection but for how long I can hold this I have no clue. Outwardly since both would not see it since they were within Lili's mind Dristan was in full concentration and his body very stiff right now.
