midnightblackdagger.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=chardev&action=display&thread=333Vishous had come home, she wasn’t sure when and given her a kiss and straight to his toys he went and been there ever since. She had been so wrapped up in her conversations with Cecilia that sleep wasn’t coming to her either, honestly she hadn’t even been able to try to sleep because the child would not leave her alone. As she looked down at her watch, she shook her head. A whole day had passed and yet she was no closer to figuring out a way to help Cecilia than she was when she had first met the little girl and was asked to help in the first place. Had she even left their mated room, she wasn't sure as she stared at the screen on her laptop. " I know you can do it Jane, your smart. Please please help me.” Looking up, the little girl was swirling around the room in front of their bed, smiling as her dress danced around her. "Honey, I am trying. I am, this will take time. Give me time." How in the world could she not help her, staring into those eyes of the lightest blue that reminded her so much of her sister.

Someone didn't want to be tracked down, that was the only conclusion he could come to. It was unnerving, but since no one else seemed too distressed about it, he wasn't about to start in. Last thing he needed with all the chatter coming from his mated room, was to leave his shellan and get into it with Wrath, that would likely include Zsadist too and no damn way was he going up against the two of them.
Letting out a frustrated breath, stamping what had to be his hundredth butt in his oversized ashtray, he pushed away from his Toys. Long stretch from fingers through his body and he made way for Jane. Had to pause in the doorway, once again heard a small voice then Jane responding. Really couldn't tell if the other voice was in Jane's mind or actually there. Shoulder against the door frame, face serious.
"Jane, want help with your research." Arched one brow, then under his breath. "Since mine isnt going all that famously."

Looking up as V came in the room and smiled a bit, the stress sure to be seen on her face. If anyone understood what she needed to do, it would be him. Right? Pushing her laptop away from her, she let out a sigh.
"Would love some. Seems I can't find any good information on" she looked over in Cecilia's direction who had walked over to stand and stare at Vishous "apparitions. Its all a jumbled mess."
Lifting her hand to rub the blur from her eyes that had set in.

As he stood there, her eyes had that weary look to them and a chill ran along his arm. His focus went from her face to the space next to him then back.
"You mean ghosts." Had to mentally rid himself of the feeling he had when he'd seen Wellsie in Lassiter's cabin, crap another reminder that someone was conspicuously missing.
Went to sit next to her, but closed her laptop then softened his features.
"Baby? That's because most all of it is folklore and made up. Your case was special, a gift. Where I'm sure there are ghosts, apparitions, souls lingering, however you want to put it? Coming back is very rare."
Hated that he had to say it, especially as she was so invested. Then again, be it the love of his life or anyone he wouldn't dance around the truth.

Leaning over to rest her head on his shoulder.
"Rare but possible right?"
Cecilias pacing increased, for a ghost she was loud and very much showed the little girls impatience. Had she been able to see Hannah just one more time, to hug her, to tell her she loved her in person, that would have been the best gift ever given to her as a child. Thats all she wanted to give to Cecilia. Putting her hand on V's chest.
"Baby, I don't demean the gift I got believe me I don't yet it has to be possible to give that same gift to her, if only for a moment. I just can't turn away from her. What else am I supposed to do?"

Closed his eyes, hearing the thoughts preceding Jane's actual statement. Wrapped his arm around her shoulders, then kissed her head while closing his eyes. This, was a tricky subject in so many ways. When he opened his eyes again his focus went to the space in front of them covered in books having to do with medicine, science all the way to epistemics. Both of them were like minded, anylitytical and based a lot on fact. That they had been granted a miracle, of everyone, was an anomaly in itself.
"I can't answer that, do you know why she's here? What she wants? A lot of time souls don't move on due to unfinished business. True?" The pain in his voice could be heard towards the end.

Her eyes drifted too and fro throughout the room. The constant pleading look from Cecilia, whether she was talking to her or not, was beginning to get to her. In her mind, she knew of no logical way to bring the dead back, although her saying that of all people was odd, in her heart this was something that could help not only the girl but herself. Many levels down, she could crack wide open and put to rest aspects she always buried deep and always would.
"Because she doesn't want to leave her mother alone. She doesn't talk about much more than that. I've tried. V I have seen miracles, I am a miracle. She wants what we have, miracle and all."

Let out a heavy sigh then released her and leaned back on his hands, arms stretching back. Focused on Jane's back, really this wasn't what he'd bargained for when he'd taken Jane to visit her grave.
"Love, this is about more than just what happened with you. Miracles don't come easy, did I ever tell you what the Scribe did to bring you back like this? No. I didn't. See, you can go back and forth from the Fade, but you don't know much about She does and how things like this work. Everything there is the same, all of it. I was supposed to be where Phury is, only I was to live there. A chain of events changed my destiny. Subsequently, She only had her birds" raised one hand as if cupping something small "songbirds, to keep her happy. She..." He'd never spoken this, re-bracing his body on that hand he almost whispered "gave them up for you to be here. Theres always a price to pay, an exchange with gifts."
He'd have begun pleading with her, but for now he was taking the logical approach.

"Tell him I have paid a price Jane. I died, I died and I want my mommy to see me. You died and your husband gets to see you. Tell him Jane, Tell him!"
Her head jerked up at the aggitated voice and she frowned. Why was this happening to her? All she wanted was to find peace with her own death and now her heart broke even more than before. She had no answer for the child. Clasping her hands together, she closed her eyes. She never knew of the sacrifices, all the sacrifices by both the Scribe Virgin and her husband, that was made for her. Yes she had heard the same thing from Marissa the other night about the birds and she was willing to offer something for the child. Yet what?
Turning towards V, drawing her long legs under her "And that is a gift that I will always be Thankful for. To be here with you, to share our lives together forever. I only want to be able to give that same chance to her."
Fading from where she sat, it took a moment to gain her composure to go solid again.

He felt like scrubbing his hand down his face, there was no way to really win this one. He was programmed to make her happy, and would. Just not this. No way could he loose her, that'd end him. His eyes flicked from her to where he heard the voice in her head come from.
"Maybe this goes back to my other question. What'd you do to get back here the first time? Seriously Jane, there isn't anything for you to give up." Or way, far too much. He wasn't able to even say it, so not putting the idea in her head. Although, there was... "Maybe we could give her a goodbye? Just for a minute, but you'd have to give something. I don't like it, true?"
This was agitating, at this point he was just keeping his cool.

"Cecilia stop it"
The girl kept on and kept on "Teach me to be like you Jane, just teach me and I can see my mommy on my own."
The child was so much like her sister, especially with the tantrum she was now beginning to throw and she was getting more irritated with no plausible answers to this in sight. Reaching out to grab his hand, she tilted her head a little. "What do you mean what did I do?" She no quicker got that out then she gripped his hand tighter and took a deep breath. "I didn't want to lose you, I held on."

He dropped his head back to blow out a breath, then hoisted his body up to end up arms on knees, head down. Looked at her through his long, midnight hair then tried again. Though damn he needed a smoke.
"Right, well thing is? We don't have anything to give and No, not you. True." Raised his brows then ran his leather gloved hand through that hair before dropping his head again.
Getting ove stressed he shifted to take out a hand roll then leaned to light it, flicking his gaze around the room. Once again, after the orange flair of fire then through the smoke of his first exhale he saw it again.
Wavering air, truth was, he was getting that 'Oh shit no, Lassiter.' feeling all over again. Especially with Tohrment missing.

Frustrated wasn't even the name of the game any longer as she stared at him. "Vishous, I don't want to sacrifice myself. But.."
Had he hit the name on the head without her realizing it? Moving up the bed to push herself in between his legs, she lowered her head until she met his downward gaze.
"Baby, you just said it. A sacrifice, well not a sacrifice but along the lines. She has to, I have to" sure she wasn't making sense in her words but her mind had just become clear as day. "I can fix this."

"Wait, no. I just said that." Totally out of hand, she better not have been talking about leaving. That'd make a damn short eternally ever after. Then it hit him, like he'd lost his mind within it all already and forgotten how to think. "I see. Alright. Let's do what you have to do."
Took off his glove halfway to get rid of the cigarette butt then sat up. Interlacing fingers with her, her corporal form spreading out like solid water from the point of contact then smiled at her, genuinely.

Smiling, she leaned in to kiss him while grasping his hands in hers. Damn long time too. "Its okay love, We have to go see her mother."
Turning her head, she lost the smile as she watched Cecilia staring at her and V. This was going to be hard and she wasn't sure she could take any more right now. Yet she would, she had too, it was her nature and her need mixing together in the fiercest way possible.
She slowly moved to the edge of the bed and waited for him to stand with her. Remaining close to him, their hands still together. Cecilia walked over to her and looked just so hopeful.
