((lol ok funna, sorry it took me so long to get on... i was at dance. Im going to back track a little for my post k?))

Yukita's eyes opened in surprise as her air suddenly stopped. She started gasping, clawing at the boy's hand. Her skin was changing from grey to white, not able to shift to attack back. Just as she was about ready to pas.s out from lack of oxygen, the grip loosened and she was lowered to the ground. She coughed for a minute before looking at the boy. "At least tell us who you are. You take on the shape of my former mistress, as this shows I have angered her and left. What has she done other than the normal for you to hate her?" Before she recieved her answer she fell to the floor writhing in pain once again. "Damn this hurts." She hissed, calming down some. Dante rushed over to her, unsure of what to do. "Please, do you know anything that could help her? She'll die. I know she tried to kill me before but, I cant live knowing that my sister has died for real." He pleaded looking up at the new coming immortal.

The boy clenched his jaw...  he strode over the Yukita... his teeth pointed much like fangs, and venom dripped from the rim.  Without awaiting the concern of the others, he bit deep into Yukita's shoulder blade not releasing even when she struggled... blood and oozing dark blue venom leaked from his jaws.  He watched her tatoo stop pulsing, and he released his grip.  "Forgive me.  It will slow down the effects... BUT it is no cure" he said expressionlessly, Yukita's flesh begining to close up, and his own begginging to bleed in deep wounds mimicking Yukita's.  "Should of warned you it would hurt." he choked, wincing in his own pain.  He shook it away as his flesh began to reclose.

"You don't see the resemblence?" he cooed.

"I share Morana's blood.  I am her brother."

"B-brother? She never once mentioned a brother. Why would you go against your own flesh and blood?" For being an immortal, Yukita was pretty clueless though she wasnt surprised. When he said that the two were related she forgot about her wounds but could now see the similarities between the two. "Well that explains the erge to jump first." She said absently rubbing her neck

"How did you do that. Her wounds, THEY'RE GONE!" Dante fell back in both horror and in surprise. He didnt know which to feel at the moment. "How do we know you wont turn on us in the end. She is after all your sister."

 "I believe him." Isis said looking over at Dante. "Not all siblings are friendly to eachother." She shrugged as if not affected by the fact that Morana and this stranger were brother and sister. She didn't know this Morana person so she wasn't really surprised if something strange like this came up for she was ready for pretty much whatever came her way. She listened as Ebony let out a small hiss.

 "I agree with Dante, how do we know he won't turn on us and that he isn't just messing with our brains right now." Ebony asked narrowing her eyes. She didn't like this guy, though she didn't have any real reason to.

((Sorry, had to get off for a little while.XD))

The boy hissed and peeled off his shirt... the long scar that began at his forehead and down his neck continued down his well built chest and towards his abdomen... a series of grizzly marks and gashes were cut into his flesh.  "She stole my wife and new born daughter from me... I will have her perish as they have." he growled lowly, saddness trickling into his voice. "She thinks I'm dead.  She almost killed me many moons ago..." he said, lowering himself to the floor and taking a seat, his fingers interlocked together as he pressed them to his lips.  "Do you know the feeling?  Do any of you... to loose your love...and your own flesh and blood...your own child... to someone you thought you could trust?" he whispered into his hands...  a tear forming at his eye.  He jumped up and slammed his fist into the wall..."A child... no older then 3 weeks... reaching up at you and seeming to say 'daddy she's hurting me...  why dont you stop her?'" he bit his lip and looked to the ground, supporting himself on the wall. 

He glanced at Dante..."I can save people... a gift not even Morana could ever pocess.  My venom is not toxic, but it can heal... but I feel and suffer the same wounds my patient has.  A unique quality... but very dangerous to myself alone...."

"You are all very close... I wont let any of you loose one another."

Drake held his breath and looked towards the others...  he pushed Carolyn from his mind, and didnt know what to think.

 Ebony nearly snorted, but instead she just turned away and walked out of the room. She still didn't like him and she had no idea why. She pushed through the door and into the kitchen and sat down next to the doll. She grabbed it and began to rub it with her fingers and scratched at a piece of loose thread...Then the thread broke and unravled causing the doll to nearly fall to peices. Ebony's eyes widened as a peice of paper fell out of the stomach of the doll and landed on the floor. She set the doll down and picked up the peice of paper and unfolded it to reveal some words scribbled onto it.

 Isis ignored her sister and looked over at the boy. "I'm sorry...What she did to you is a terrible thing and I can't even start to imagine that sadness and grief you must of gone through." She said in a quiet voice. Her eyes stared down at the floor as he put images into her head...Sad images that made her want to cry and some images that might give little kids nightmares.

Drake nodded, "Already it is 10.  As much as I would hate to say it...we cant stay awake for ever..." he whispered, biting his lip.  He looked at the stranger.  "What was your daughters name?" he asked sympathetically, putting a hand on the boy's shoulder.  He was appauled that Ebony was behaving in such a manner...  this stranger even related to Morana... might be the one to save their lives. 

The boy smiled, "Thank you, my dears." he nodded in appreciation towards Yukita and Isis. The immortal looked up and gave a light smile, he pulled a locket off from around his neck and twisted it open, holding it out for the humans and one female immortal to see.  "her name was Emily." he gave a light smile, as he admired the picture.

Drake squinted... the woman holding the child seemed like them..."She's human...?" he asked, pointing at the woman.

The boy nodded, "Yes.  Why do you label me as immortal and yourselves as humans?  Cant a cursed being fall in love with a human girl?" he questioned.

"Because if we are different. And if we are different, we must be catigorized as something different." Yukita sighed, holding back a yawn, she realized that even she was beginning to get tired.

((Sorry its so short i was kicked off by dad threatening my internet... will finish tommorrow morning!))

 Ebony's eyes shifted over the peice of paper as she read it.

Deer Steffie

today i saw a girl outside. She was very prety and graceful and she walked around the house a few times like she was studying it something. then i saw the most scaryess thing in my life. The girl changed into something...well i cant realy esplain what she turned into but it was very creepy and is scared me a bunch. I just wanted to ask you is if i'm crazy or something and if i should tell my parents abut this but i'm to scared to because i think they might send me away to a place for crazy people...Well, just wanted to share this with someone.

Love

Grace

Ebony set the paper down and grabbed Drake's family book and flipped to the pages looking for anyone named grace.

The stranger shook his head, "The outside is the only way we are difernt.  When it comes down to it... dont we all have a beating heart?" he said expressionlessly.  He turned and disappeared into the dining hall.

The boy rose an eyebrow and emerged beside Ebony... he took the paper in his hands..."Grace...?" he questioned, his eyes narrowing as his eyes narrowed on the name.  he shook his head and plopped the note down. 

Drake released a small smile, this immortal was different from the rest... he looked at Yukita "Do you think he was ever human?  Or do you think Morana was ever human?" he asked her... the boy was right, he had a heart and showed it plainly.

Ebony jumped as the boy spoke. She hadn't heard him and anything at the time could've freaked her out. She narrowed her eyes and began to flip through the pages again and simply ignored the boy. She stopped as she came to the picture that showed Harrison and his family and flipped over the page. Her eyes brightened as they read through the names and came upon the name Grace writen beautifully in cursive.
