The Half-blood Queen

[Kiknessa]

"As much as Lilah hates that Zack was letting Zeus tell him not to raise his daughter it'll be quite the shock to her if it goes from living with him, to her being mad at him and not talking to him, to now having a kid in the house." Azalea said with a small smile

[mistic395]

"I doubt Zack will win, but we will just have to wait and see." He stated, yawning softly. "WHat time is it?" He asked, not having checked the clock at all throughout the day, and now with the storm it was even harder to tell.

[Kiknessa]

“almost dinner time“ Azalea said softly “it‘s about 5.“ she touched his forhead gently “how are you feeling?“ she asked, smiling at him and kissing his cheek

[mistic395]

"Better." Vane said with a smile. "Thanks." He glanced out the window and noticed a blast of lightning that hit over near the sanctuary before everything started to finally calm down.

Zack landed hard on the ground in the forest near the sanctuary. He groaned as he pushed his battered form up off the ground. He stumbled slightly and leaned against a tree, sighing softly as he looked towards the house. "Joyful." He muttered with a sigh and made his way inside and up to his room. Astral latched onto his leg, already knowing what happened. She had seen Zack return home cut up several times so it was no longer a shock to her. She simply did what she usually would, which was latch on until he was smiling again.

[Kiknessa]

Azalea hesitated a moment when he looked out the window . When he looked back her way she leanned over and kissed him softly on the lips before smiling at him

Psalm was sitting in the living room when he got back. When he came in she looked over “you should not have done that“ she said simply “he already granted me permission to take her. There was no need to get injured today“

[mistic395]

"Astral...go up to your room." Zack told her. Once the girl ran off after saying hi to Psalm, Zack sat down in a chair. "It was more then just Astral this time. Lilah's views brought up much more then that. I have been letting him control many things in my life and honestly, I am tired of it." He ran a hand back through his hair before leaning over slightly, resting his arms on his knees. "The whole point of me coming here was to get away from him and my mother, not to have them control me here as well. That is what I have been doing. Always cleaning up because that is what he told me to do." Zack finally leaned back in his seat, flinching. "It was stupid of me, but nothing can change that now. I will heal by tomorrow."

Vane kissed Azalea in return before smiling slightly at her. "So...what would you like to do now that I am starting to feel better?"

[Kiknessa]

Psalm nodded "Subtle movements and gradual progressions usher is smoother transitions" she said softly "your brother knows this"

Azalea smiled "Can I sing for you?" she asked softly "I wrote a song after the first time I saw you" she moved to get his guitar having left her's in her car

[mistic395]

Zack nodded once, before shaking his head slightly. "You come to get Astral?" He asked her, deciding to change the subject.

"Sure. I love listening to you sing." Vane said, smiling at her.

[Kiknessa]

"Can to tell you she could live with me" Psalm said simply "you already promised her to spend tonight here. I will take her tomorrow"

Azalea smiled "umm.. so something I haven't told you yet" she paused "thanks to my father's blood I can sense people's feelings to a point and a little of who attractions are to. I can look at someone and tell you if they have met their soul mate, because it leaves an imprint....the first time I saw you I felt this...draw. something about you felt different and pulled me in and I didn't know how to react to it, so i was afraid to talk to you"

[mistic395]

Vane glanced down. "I am sure it didn't help that I mistook you for someone else." He said glancing back towards her slightly.

Zack nodded. "Thank you, Psalm." He told her.

[Kiknessa]

Azalea shook her head "That was the first time I talked to you, the first time that you saw me" she said softly "the moment i'm talking about was almost two weeks earlier. and the impression...well here just let me sing this" she smiled a little before strumming the guitar
"I see you standing here
But you're so far away
Starving for your attention
You don't even know my name

You're going through so much
But I know that I could be the one to hold you

Every single day
I find it hard to say
I could be yours alone

You will see someday
That all along the way
I was yours to hold
I was yours to hold

I see you walking by
Your hair always hiding your face
I wonder why you've been hurting
I wish I had some way to say

You're going through so much
Don't you know that I could be the one to hold you?

Every single day
I find it hard to say
I could be yours alone

You will see someday
That all along the way
I was yours to hold
I was yours to hold

I'm stretching but you're just out of reach
You should know
I'm ready when you're ready for me
And I'm waiting for the right time
For the day I catch your eye
To let you know that I'm yours to hold

Every single day
I find it hard to say
I could be yours alone

You will see someday
That all along the way
I was yours to hold
I was yours to hold

Every single day
I find it hard to say
I could be yours alone

You will see someday
That all along the way
I was yours to hold
I was yours to hold

I'm stretching but you're just out of reach
I'm ready when you're ready for me"



Psalm nodded quietly and stood

[mistic395]

Vane listened in silence. He was in shock when she finished. "That was...beautiful." He told her, unable to say much else at the moment. He finally leaned over and kissed her softly, pulling back slowly and looking her in the eyes.

Zack showed Psalm out before he headed up to spend the rest of the evening with his daughter. He tried to call Lilah one more time as well, still hoping she would at least talk with him.

[Kiknessa]

Azalea smiled and kissed him back when he kissed her and smiled back at him "Vane, I know this might sounds silly, but there is no doubt in my mind or my soul that you're the one I'm meant to be with. I truly do love you, with my entire being" she said looking at him

Lilah didn't answer the phone then either, letting it ring though to voicemail. Her phone was on silent now because she was at the doctor's with the girl from school and though she felt it vibrate she had a feeling she knew who was calling and didn;t bother even looking at it.

Ava came up behind Chance and wrapped her arms around him, nipping his ear playfully "Looks like we're going to have a guest for the weekend" she said, resting her chin on his shoulder now "My sister seems to have a knack for getting into fights with her men"

[mistic395]

"Lilah must have found out about Astral." Chance stated as he glanced over his shoulder at Ava. "Not suprising. Zack has a bad habit of not spilling about things pertaining to her." He shook his head slightly. "You gonna be okay with your sister staying here?" He asked Ava.

Vane shook his head slightly. "It isn't silly." He assured her. "All of us have gifts to be able to tell things. Yours is a gift that you inherited through your father." He told her softly.

Zack sighed as he left a message on her phone. "Lilah...Listen, I am sorry. When you are ready to talk call me back or at least stop by for a visit." He then hung up and set his phone aside.

[Kiknessa]

Azalea smiled "I know, but i just know that humans say these things very easily, and i wanted to make sure you knew that I don't take it lightly. I've always been taught to revere love as sacred" she said with a smile "And because of that you have become sacred to me" she kissed him softly

Ava looked at him "Why not? It's not like we don't get along anymore. Now that I'm not struggling for my father's affection Lilah and I are very much the same. Other then the fact that she likes being miss popular and I couldn't care less what people thing of me" she kissed Chance's cheek "I had another guy ask me out again today" she said smiling
