{Lydia} I glanced at Cole, seeing his mouth open for a sarcastic comment. "That's fine," I said quickly, leading them both up to my room. Cole seemed to spend all his time in there anyway... I didn't understand my brother.
{Lucian} I smirked and tilted my head at her, eyes narrowing slightly. "So what was the normal world like?"

{Crystal} "It was a lot more peaceful minus the lack of sleep and the fact that I scared my kids from the amount of times I woke up during the night screaming... Oh and by the way we don't just have two kids... There's a third, Aaron. He's... different. He's... he's half vampire, half werewolf... He struggles to fit in a lot. He's a year younger than the girls, but he's very intelligent so he's in the same grade as them. Venus... Well Venus is a lot like me in the way that she always finds herself in a bad situation. Of course you know that Roxanne of course has the side that was suicidal, stubborn, and aggressive. Parts of which also came from her father. I can't get her to talk to me... She treats me like I'm the bad parent... I just don't know what to do anymore. I feel like I'm completely screwing up. Venus hated to move, but she was the main reason we had to leave. Venus of course is also the ver popular and preppy side of me, yet she can become somewhat snobbish, and I want to get her out of that... Like I said I just don't know what to do... This was my only option. I also knew I wasn't going to get any better if I didn't come back..." I said letting it all out. He knew I hadn't changed a bit. I was just letting everything in my mind flow out as usual. Nothing different.

I sighed. "So you return to Hell... I must admit though, I'm glad to see you again. Believe it or not, I actually missed you, Princess." I smiled dryly, none of the humor reaching my eyes.

{Crystal} "I've always been regretting leaving here, ever since that night... It was so hard to keep the kids and Thomas from worrying about me... You have no idea how much I'd rather be in Sorina's place right now... You have no idea..." I said so silently, trying to keep him from hearing, but of course I knew he had heard. The tears fell as I spoke. It'd been a while since I had really let my emotions show about it all.

I jerked back, then slapped her across her face. Hard. I grabbed her arm and pulled her close to me, keeping her gaze locked on mine. "Crystal, shut up about this suicide thing! I don't think you realize how many people you would really hurt if you did that... do you not remember me telling you that you're all I have left?" A wry smirk pulled at my lips. "Of course, you're not now that I have my children. But I still can't stand to lose you. I think, deep inside, you know that."

{Roxanne} "I'm curious about what's going on.... Your father just slapped my mom..." I whispered softly, listening carefully. "Apparently it's about suicide... Why would my mom want to kill herself...?" I asked very confused.
{Crystal} I shook my head as tears fell. "Look I not going to kill myself, but Sorina deserved a life more than I do. I don't want a life. I've always wished that I was never even born. I thought I could fix my life to where it would end okay. I thought that if I made a family, the fact that I didn't really have one wouldn't matter anymore. Look where my life is now. I have everything I could possibly want. I have two daughters, a son, close friends, and a husband that cares for me, and I'm still not happy. I'm completely selfish. Sorina deserves to be alive, I don't." I said softly as the tears continued to fall.

{Lydia} I raised an eyebrow. "I honestly don't know what goes on in my dad's mind. He's strange."
{Lucian} I shook my head. "Crystal, you're not the one who deserves to die here," I said softly. I looked away, keeping my expression carefully neutral. "Are you the one that caught her while she was still alive, held her right in your arms, and just let her die? I don't think so." I glanced up. "I'm supposed to be so powerful, but my soulmate died right in my arms, and I didn't do a single thing to stop it. So I really don't think you're the one who deserves to die."

{Crystal} "If I weren't about to be killed she would have had no reason to sacrafice herself... If y'all had just let me kill myself then there would have been nothing to worry about because I wouldn't have caused another death of someone I loved! I'm going to lose everyone! No one's going to be left!" I cried. I wanted to stop saying all of these things but I couldn't help it.

"Princess, you're not going to..." I broke off, staring deep into her eyes. Fifteen years was an infinite time, and even more so for me, yet during that time Sunny wasn't the only one I couldn't stop thinking about. It felt so much like a betrayal to love someone else, but... I did love Crystal. I couldn't doubt that, and it wasn't just as a little sister. I really, deeply loved her. Maybe not as much as I'd loved Sunny - she was my soulmate. But Sunny was gone, and I'd had a lot of time to think over the past years. Moving on pure instinct as I very often did with her, I quietly tilted up her chin, keeping my gaze locked on hers. I hesitated for an almost unnoticeable second, then I leaned forward until my lips touched hers.

{Crystal} My eyes widened. I never imagined that would happen. I'd always longed for it to. The worst part about this is that a major part of me was telling me to pull back or not kiss him back, but this warmth, this love I'd always longed to feel from him was far too hard to resist. I had to kiss him back. I slowly closed my eyes and melted against him. The passion I gave him felt like it was far more than I had ever given Thomas and it was guilting me into wanting to stop, but I couldn't. I just continued to kiss him.
{Roxanne} It became very silent so I decided to slowly sneak out a little to see what was going on... I saw they were kissing and my jaw dropped. I couldn't believe my eyes. I was frozen in my place, hoping I wasn't the only one seeing this...

{Cole} I frowned. "What are you doing?" I asked softly, padding after her. Lydia caught my arm. "Do you really think we should eavesdrop?" "I know we shouldn't, but tell me you're not curious, little sister." She rolled her eyes. "I'm not your little sister." "But are you curious?" She sighed. "A little." I raised my eyebrows at her. "Fine. A lot," she growled. I smirked victoriously, and we followed Roxie. For all we claimed to be nothing alike, I knew that the second we saw what was happening in the living room, our mouths fell open in perfect unison.
{Lucian} I finally drew back slowly, and inclined my head at her. "Okay, so... strictly, that probably wasn't the best idea," I muttered. I didn't regret it, though. I couldn't help thinking I should have done this from the very beginning - which was yet another betrayal to Sunny. I winced. Well, I was going to Hell anyway - or I was already there.

{Roxanne} I covered my mouth with my hand, and quietly ran back to Lydia's room. I had to hide all of the pain and confusion that I felt inside. I couldn't cry. That wasn't something I would do, but you could see I wanted to... All of my pain I had always held inside. I never told anyone my problems so I had to hide them. It'd take someone with good force and no patience to deal with my stubborness. They'd have to want to beat the crap out of me because I wouldn't talk.
{Crystal} All of a sudden after it all happened it felt like I had just realized what just happened. My eyes filled with tears and I looked away from him quickly. I was trying to hide the fear in my eyes. The fear that was burning all through me... I was so afraid of how Thomas would react. That was my problem...

"Crystal..." I said gently, reaching out to touch her arm. I had probably done something extremely stupid, but I wasn't a person prone to regret, and this was no exception. If I knew I loved her, I wasn't exactly the type to just hold it in - I just hoped I didn't cause too much trouble for her.
{Lydia} I followed her quickly, slipping quietly into my room. Cole padded in last and soundlessly shut the door behind him. "What was that about?" he hissed.

{Crystal} "Don't speak to me! Please..." I said softly, moving his hand away. I couldn't talk to him. It was hurting too much inside at the moment. It was all I could do to keep from running out the door...
{Roxanne} I kept my face down, hidden in my hair. I couldn't look either in the eyes. "It's nothing..." I muttered softly. Why would he care?

{Lydia} I raised an eyebrow and sat down beside her. "Hey, we're upset about it too - or at least I am. I can never speak for my brother. I mean, we've lived our whole lives with the name of our dead mother like a taboo, and now..." I shrugged softly, and Cole rolled his eyes. "Plus, it's really weird."
{Lucian} "Crystal," I said sternly, a hit of the ironness of fifteen years ago shining through my voice. I turned her head and tilted up her chin, forcing her to look straight into my eyes. "Look at me, Crystal," I whispered. "Look me in the eyes and tell me you don't still love me."
