A mortal in the Band (Closed)

[Asa]

Everyone here knows now brother.except for our two brothers by birth.

Clear it still pained him about his twin but beating drums nearly to deah always helped him. Sitting down at the drums he listened for whatever she began to play on the piano to get them started on new music. She began playing sounding sad in the beginning of the music that came from her. A blooddoll quickly recording and trying to write down the notes as she played.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He listened to the melody she was playing, moving in time with what he felt, not heard. His fingers started to form the notes, the lower key of his playing subtly joining in with the piano.

 

[Asa]

Omen and Luna both started playing as well till it was everyone involved. Words we're not needed in this moment as the music seemed to calm the still wound up shifters. And helped to get the xubs and mortal young to all fall asleep.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He moved over to the piano, leaning against it with his back, staying in tune with Eden's mood, even though there was sadness, she still had a hint of happiness. When they stopped, he looked at her, "You're not going to stir up people with that one. Got to groove a bit more, babe."

 

[Asa]

That is what needed to be written beloved. You forget so easily how I work. I write what is needed to be said and played.

She shrugged.

We still have time to work on more.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He chuckled

"Death does tend to make me forget a few things. I am just thinking that we will need to rehearse a few of our more . . . energetic songs. Get Omen calmed down a little bit after he had broken a few sticks."

 

[Asa]

She laughed and nodded before starting into more of the modern songs Alex would know and Omen grinned as did Luna as the joined in.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He gave her a wink and a sly smile, moving to his position as he felt the young man getting into the rhythm of the song, listening to Eden sing as Luna and Omen got into the beat of the song.

 

[Asa]

They rehearsed for hours. Nothing new really for any of them now. A very deep but less than hostile roar sounded out as two very formal looking vampires were shown in their expressions souring as the music did not stop. Eden knew exactly who they were and could give a damn less in that moment till the song was done.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He looked at the two newcomers, pursing his lips and shaking his head as they glared at him. The song finally came to an end and he pushed the pick into the pick holder on the guitar, taking a seat on the chair and unplugged the guitar from the amp system

 

[Asa]

She stalked forward once the song was done. She didn't care that modern music wasn't their taste or that her rock life was distasteful to them.

Phillip you and your assistant have a lot of gall showing up unannounced like this. What pray tell does the council want now?

It smells as if someone turned a mortal without authorization.

The old woman stood but was halted when she raised a hand to halt all of them.

She had my authorization to return one of our to our ranks.... Will that be all?

 

[TertiusHuman]

"So this is what it has come down to? While an army is being massed against this family, you show up to question why a fledgling was created."

The two vampires looked at him, "So you're the . . . wait a minute, he looks familiar."

He stepped forward, sliding the guitar to his back, and pulled the pick with the family crest on it out of his pocket.

"Does this ring a bell? Or would you want me to produce the signet ring? The one my brother tried to steal before I was killed? The murder which you and your ilk did nothing to prevent nor avenge?"

 

[Asa]

Omen spoke low to Luna.

She is about to snap be ready.

Luna simply nods. Before Phillip can answer being addressed by him she is face to face with him.

Careful of your answer to his words Phillip... We have lost him twice to his brother directly it will not happen again. Just as when your sire held command of the counsel and tried to request I join I will not be silenced or contained and sire as the Gods not controlled. Now. The council will either aid us in ending this once and for all or enter your deep sleep and leave the wars to those who have the balls to fight them. He has gone too far sending the baby of the family Omens twin to offer ultimatums and threats. This will not be tolerated.

He sent who?

Phillip's assistant started to speak with a wince in his tone as Luna barely missed catching her before she had the help pinned to the floor fangs bared rage billowing off of her in hurricane waves.

Omens twin... You sound as if you know something or need to tell me something.

She was trying to mentally push him to speak more the dark rage they had seen over the yrs within her was growing stronger.

 

[TertiusHuman]

Phillip wanted to intervene, but he had stepped up close to the older vampire

"Now now Phillip, we both know what the Beast can do in a fledgling. You have been through it before and I am going through it a third time. So . . . don't make me angry, you won't like it when I'm angry."

He smiled a very threatening smile, "But if your aide knows something, that means that you know something. Would you like to tell us perhaps?"

 

[Asa]

Privately as long as she does not kill him.

Luna nodded and a couple of others walked over including the old woman to break her away from her rage. Lina guided her to a small room off to the side intentionally. No weapons in the room and a calming aura. The feline shifters meditation room.

You can tell them in here

The old woman glared at Phillip as he quickly helped his aid up and hurried to the room.

He works for us... Omens twin. If he sent him here maybe he suspects him.

 

[TertiusHuman]

"If he suspected him, he'd be dead. My brother feels nothing but what he wants and he wants my permanent death and to make Eden his."

He sat down, "Why do you have informants? You do not act on any news, so why are you spying?"

His eyes narrowed, "And who do you have spying for you inside this family?"

 

[Asa]

Perhaps he wanted you all to kill him knowing Omen and Edens tempers of late. As for spies. We do not need spies here everyone here usually is upfront with us.

Phillip shook his head.

The time of sleep approaches for the counsel this needs to end...

 

[TertiusHuman]

"Perhaps it is time for the full council to wake up and stop sleeping."

His biting remark earned him a look from the two vampire elders.

"The council is all that can stop my brother, so when you leave, it will be a good idea to wake up the elders. Up until now, I have been the reasonable one and died for it. If I didn't have the ancient spell of reincarnation on my soul, I'd be lost and that would have opened my seat at the table for my brother. Is that what you want Phillip? My brother, to be able to influence the Table?"

Phillip shook his head, "Your brother can not gain that power as well."

He smiled, "Of course not, because then he'd want a seat on the council and he might want your seat."

 

[Asa]

She listened to him.

They have been awake love for many decades time does come for their sleep.

She looked to Phillip.

Well then now that he is back help us or get out If our way once and for all.

 

[TertiusHuman]

"Yes, this needs to come to an end. I have been running and hiding for long enough. I also want to live my life."

Phillip almost sneered the words: "As a musician?"

He rose from his seat, "Yes, you have a problem with our lifestyle? One which provides for the family and brings in funds to the council?"

 

[Asa]

It's not some waltz belting orchestra love so he has no clue.

She shook her head.

How long will his twin be buried in the enemies ranks?

 

[TertiusHuman]

He gave her a smile and then turned his attention to the two men.

"As long as it takes."

It was not Phillip who was so brazen, but the aide. He moved closer and placed a restraining hand on Eden's shoulder, "Ignore him, he's not worth the anger."

 

[Asa]

Remove him from my sight Phillip I grow weary of his existence.

Phillip nodded for him to leave as she backed up slowly closer to her beloved. Her eyes now boring into Phillip watching for recognition or fear to grace his smug features

 

[TertiusHuman]

He rested an arm around her waist, looking at Phillip as well, not with the same intensity though. He could remember the man, but only faintly and he had a feeling that there was more to this visit than the council wanting to talk about Omen's brother.

 

[Asa]

He calmed her he always had. Still she stood her ground in appearance towards Phillip and his aid got the message she did in fact stand before death as she was not dealt with for her near attack. Phillip did not bat an eye not rail at her for such behavior did not go in noticed by the aid.

If his twin dies at their brothers hand Phillip whoever sent him will follow quickly afterward. Do we understand each other... Uncle?

Phillips brother had been the one to save her life and cross her over long ago. Their only connection long dead and not openly discussed. Phillip wasn't even certain she knew till now that her sire had actually been his biological brother.
