Alexi took a big ht of the bong and held in the smoke. She then coughed, feeling a good high. She gave the bong back to Krystoff and slid a blanket under the door. She then sat next to him. "Honestly, I'm starting to have those night terrors again." She said. "While I was passed out, I seen visions of my past. Those demons used to see have returned and I'm scared." Her face didn't show it, but on the inside Alexi was like a frightened child. "I just hope things don't hit me hard like last time.'

@xXSINXx

Krystoff took the large piece and sat up for his next hit. He listened intently as he filled the tube and took another big hit like his last. When he finally exhaled, he fell into a large coughing fit. He placed the bong on her dresser as he coughed, so as not spill the water inside. When he finally had himself under control, he felt rather stoned. "Listen, I'm here for you Alexi, day or night." He lay back on the bed and threw the lighter into her lap. "If you hold onto the hope we give you, as a family, you have nothing to fear, because we've all got your back. But what are these demons saying to you, doing in the dreams?"

He in particular knew what Alexi was going through. More often, he felt peculiar mood swings and changes. His dreams had recently taken dark turns, with twisted scenes that Krystoff barely remembered but was sure he wouldn't want to. He assumed it was the Devil's Fang and his need to use it more and more. The supernaturals around the city had gotten more brazen and numerous, calling for the extra strength the blade bestowed upon him. But it was getting harder to shake its nasty side effects. With Alexi so worried however, he decided not to burden her with his own baggage. He certainly didn't want to turn to any of his brothers either.

@Drakeonisbefore jack completely left, he somberly fired back at Damian's question with a laugh"I have no idea"

@MonsieurShade

Damian's head rose warily at the smell, taking a few small sniffs into the air to confirm the smell. His head fell to the counter top again but he began letting out a low moan while he clawed at the air trying to grab some invisible cup of coffee that wasn't there. "Must..have...the precious...Don't think I'm going to make it.." He groaned out to Dimitri in over-the-top fashion. "This is clearly what death feels like."

@MonsieurShade(sorry I didn't notice your reply to jack,I'll work it into this one)

Jack walked back to his room when Dimitri spotted him and spoke to him,jack shrugged and told him"um, alright"jack said as it reminded him that today he had school, he walked back to his room and threw on his white hoodie over a black shirt that contrasted, he than thought about something that happened before(*cough* foreshadow*cough*)

Jack picked cyndermore off of his floor, this was his weapon he used on hunts, he placed it on a rack he threw together a few weeks ago and flopped onto the bed.

@Drakeonis@monsieurshade

As Izzy reached the kitchen, she had seen that she was not the only one in bad shape from last night. She had seen Damien passed out on the counter top, and looking like death warmed over, not that she looked any better. Last night had taken a lot out of everyone, that was clear, and with what happened to Jack did not help the situation. To be honest they could have all used a little R&R, but with this ghoul situation popping up, that was out of the question. "No rest for the wicked" She thought to herself, as she caught a whiff of what seemed to be fresh coffee. Dimitri had appeared to have made some, hopefully enough for everyone. She went to the cabinet and grabbed a few coffee mugs, and grabbed the coffee from the coffee maker. Set a mug down and poured some for Damien,Dimitri, and herself. "You had a sleepless night as well, I take it" She said as she grabbed her coffee and sat down at the counter.

(Sorry I took so long it's been a busy week)

After getting some sleep..or...whatever rest he could, X woke up to the sound of his phone going off as one of the girls he talks to at times called him. With his eyes barely open, he pressed the talk button "Yeah...." he said as all that could be heard was a 100 mile and hour squeaky voice chattering and screaming at Xavier for not calling her back or texting or anything of that sort to give the girl attention. It was too early for Xavier, to him, to deal with a girl chewing him out. He simply hung up and got up to use the bathroom. After coming out, he was heading to the stairs but heard a flop in Jack's room as he knocked on the door and slightly opened it and noticed him "Hey bruh, you aight? How's your body?"

@King Taiwhile in his room, a bored jack looked up and saw his older 'brother', he sat up and told X"I'm fine, a little dizzy at random, but alive at least"jack said as he recalled the incident with the skinwalkers that infuriated him near the eve of comprehension, jack was a calm and solitary person mostly, but when he is beaten, it only angers him.

@WittyWolf

"They seem like they're after me." Alexi said, looking at Krystoff. "Thank you, It feels better when you get to tell someone who understands and who wouldn't judge you or throw you into a mental home." She then took another hit of the bong and layed back in a haze.

@Blizz

Nodding while still having a tired look in his eyes, "Oh alright, well just checkin' up on ya. I'm about to head out and get a breakfast. What you about to do?" he ask looking at how bored his brother looked.

@Leda

"Uh huh. Talking to Jack earlier just made me even more tired." Damian groaned in response and eagerly took the offered mug and sipped it. "Thanks Izzy." Just having the drink in his system had started to wake him up the more he had the less dead he felt. "Anyway someone else is going to have to talk to Jack, he clearly doesn't give a damn about anything I say." He frowned sourly and took another sip of his coffee to try and take his mind off the stubborn kid.

@xXSINXx

"You're right, I suppose I can understand how that would feel better.." Krystoff agreed, feeling the mellow effect of the weed. He finished the bowl, causing cherry red sparks to fly into the bottom of bong, turning into black specks in the water. He put it to the side, but felt as if it weren't enough, as if something else was actively countering it. Krystoff inwardly fumed, realizing that the Devil's Fang was to blame. Could he enjoy nothing in life as he used to? Bitterness set into the pit of his stomach. He would tell Alexi his problem... but no, not right now. Perhaps if it got worse or she felt better. "Are they more or less vivid than in the past?"

@King Tai"nah, I'm good x, thanks though"jack said as he flopped back Down onto the bed and gazed out the window

@Drakeonis
"I see" She said as she took a sip of her coffee "Jack has always been a complicated person, you know that" she said. It was not like she had any room to talk, as she, like the rest of her siblings had all been through traumatic experiences. Among them all, Jack seemed to take it the hardest. "Maybe...he's not happy here"

@Leda
Damian's face softened at Izzy's words and he turned his gaze to the mug in his hands in contemplation. "Maybe your right. Maybe we're not family to him, just a means to an end..." The thought depressed him since he himself found so much joy in their ragtag family for more reasons than one.

Krystoff's stomach growled like Brutus when Dimitri forgot chow time. "Oh my god... so hungry. Need food, I'll bring something back for you Lex. You've got to be hungry too." He smiled at her as swiped her grinder, emptied, and then reloaded her bowl. Nothing sounded better than a bowl of cereal and bowl right now. Hopefully Damian wouldn't blow a gasket right off the bat. Krystoff stopped for a moment, before grabbing a spray from his room. The thing did wonders on smoke odors, completely wiped the floor with them. Damian couldn't argue that the whole house would stink now! Laughing to himself like a super=villain, just to amuse himself, Krystoff put the bong down at the table. Grabbing a bowl and his box of Corn Pops, Krystoff made the cereal float with some almond milk. He grabbed a spoon and started eating with gusto. Only halfway through the bowl did he realize that Damian seemed to be upset about something. "Hey big bro, what's got you down? Did you get through to Jack at all?"

@WittyWolf

Damian frowned. "No. I don't think he's going to listen to me." He stared even deeper at the mug. He'd would be lying if he didn't have some understanding of Jack's situation. He remembered the torture and abuse he suffered under the witch from the orphanage, the fear and anger she caused was permanently apart of him now. Even now, grown and strong, he still had nightmares about the woman. Unconsciously, his hands began to shake just at the thought of her. He placed the mug down sharply as soon as he noticed. "Well I've officially had too much caffeine."

He set the mug down and hid his arms behind the counter. "Anyway clearly the Jack situation is more delicate than I'm capable of handling, lets talk about something less depressing." He eyed the bowl of cereal Krystoff was eating slyly. "That's quite the appetite you got there. Whatever could be the cause of that?" The sarcasm was clearly evident in his voice.

Krystoff was sympathetic to Damian, noting the shakiness. The guy never got the caffeine jitters, but he didn't want to hurt the guy's pride. "Yea, maybe you should stick to decaf. Or tea, I hear it works wonders for you." He gobbled down the rest of his bowl, eyeing the bos ofcereal and milk he'd left for himself. Did he want another bowl? Of course he did. He filled it up with cereal once more, the light waifs making a tinkling sound that filled the kitchen.

He pulled the bong off of the counter and took a large hit. He released it away from Damian out of courtesy before holding it out for him. "No need to be coy big bro. It helps with the anxiety," Krystoff paused for a moment, his own growing worries surfacing for a moment, "trust me." Damian was a good leader, a better brother, but the guy never took down time. Neither did he, now that the boy thought of it. What had changed him? He would've told Alexi off for this kind of behavior when he'd first arrived at the Blackwell house. He'd been straight-laced as they came, but slowly after prolonged exposure to the Devil's Fang, he felt his values slowly shifting.

Damian scoffed playfully. "Decaf just defeats the whole point. If I ain't getting caffeine what's the point." He laughed and brought his hands up again, now that the shaking had subsided. "I think I was a little more wired than I thought I was is all." Damian grinned wide at Krystoff. "I ain't judging you two I just don't want you all giggly during a fight, I'm still recovering from the small heart attack Alexi gave me last night." He joked. They all had their coping mechanisms after all, he couldn't fault them for that. "But if you eat all the cereal then we're going to have to box."

Barking out a laugh, Krystoff settled for taking another healthy hit. When he finally released, he coughed for about five seconds. "The placebo effect brother. The placebo effect." He filled the bowl with milk and began munching. "I don't plan to hunt tonight, so I'll be fine man." His grin fell into a grim expression. "You want to fool yourself, fine Damian. But don't lie to me, I can smell bullshit from a mile away." He laughed at Damian's last statement. "Don't worry, if I eat it all, I'll go for a grocery run." Krystoff winked at his older brother, but the fact was he was worried.
