[IC] the supernatural costume ball

[Vampiretwilight]

Elizabeth shrugged.
"I..i suppose so."

James nodded. He chuckled slightly when he saw where Brandon was looking.

[underworldqueen]

he laughed "well it was bound to happen sooner or later i guess" he says

"if you decide you want to marry my brother you will have meet the other 10 siblings we have" she says "but i rather you not meet them at all, they arent the kindest of people" she says her.

[Vampiretwilight]

James shrugged a bit.

Elizabeth frowned and nodded.

[underworldqueen]

she looked at her "but dont worry, they are scared of Brandon, and with the two of us, we will make sure they dont bother you" she says. "so can i tell you something that will stay between us?" she asked her and she looked at the food and her plate.

Brandon looked at James "so what have you and my sister been doing?" he asked

[Vampiretwilight]

James spoke honestly.
"Nothing much to be honest."
But, he went on to explain what happened in her room.

Elizabeth sighed and nodded a bit.
"Alright."
She blinked and looked at her.
"What is it?"

[underworldqueen]

she bit her lip "james and i almost had sex" she says in a whisper. "Brandon can't find out" she says

Brandon eyes went wide and red. He stood up quickly and took james by his shirt holding him up off the floor "you did what to her?" he says "you are not to touch her" he said through gritted teeth.

[Vampiretwilight]

James tried to calm him down. He explained about them agreeing to wait. He wouldn't force her to do anything that she wasn't ready for. His mother raised a gentleman not a monster after all. James would never go against her wishes.

Elizabeth blinked. She nodded. However, she glanced back at the table and gasped.
"Um....it might be too late."

[underworldqueen]

kali looked behind her and dropped her plate of food. "Brandon dont!" she shouted at him she had tears in her eyes. she worried for James she didn't want him hurt. she starts her way over to them.

Brandon holding James by his shirt never taking his eyes from him. "stop Kali dont you dare come any closer" he hissed at her. "a gentleman wouldnt have undressed her to begin with James" he says "i trusted you with my sister, that was my mistake" he says to him "one i wont make again" he added with a growl. he knew what this met for him and Elizabeth, he would have little time for her now. that pained him to think about it.

Kali stopped and looked down wiping tears from her eyes that began to fall. her heart dropped to her stomach.

[Vampiretwilight]

James sighed.
"it was a mistake on both out parts. and you are hurting your sister by acting this way. I thought being honest would show character but I guess I was wrong."
His fingers formed claws. He looked at kali. his eyes were saddened and apologetic. He was going to do something to apologize, but it was clear that he was not going to harm brandon.

Elizabeth gasped. She growled and stormed up to him.
"You do this, and I will never forgive you."
She teared up.

[underworldqueen]

"your lucky its me here and not my father, i will at least show mercy, he will not" he says. he heard Elizabeth. "You James will no longer be alone with my sister" he says "you want to see her or spend time with her it will be with me present" he said through gritted teeth. "Do I make myself clear?" he says to him

Kali just stood there watching what was going on and hearing everything that her brother was saying. She looked at James and looked away. He wouldnt stay with her not after this. she wiped more tears. she knew one thing, her father would kill James if he found out about what happened or almost happened. She was sure he would punish her for it and Brandon wouldn't be able to help her.

[Vampiretwilight]

James had been about to leave and even erase his memories, as well as theirs, so that they never met. He blinked in surprise and just managed a nod.

Elizabeth felt a little relieved. However, she was still angry with brandon. Her arms were crossed.

[underworldqueen]

when he got the confirmation needed from James he released him letting James hit the ground. he looked at Elizabeth "dont look at me like that its my job" he says to her "i wasn't going to kill him, im not the monster my father is but i she is my responsiblity" he said. he looked at James and Kali. "Father will not know about that incident at all" he says "his punishment will be far worse then what i did" he says

Kali just nodded in agreement. She knew that her father would lock her up and beat and torture her until she was within an inch of dying. She knew that he would kill james in front of her to show a point.

he looked at ELizabeth "i wont apologize for that scene or what i did" he says to her "i do aplogize that i will not be able to take you to town tomorrow like i had planned" he says "and that my time will be limited with you" he told her.

[Vampiretwilight]

Elizabeth sighed.
"just forget it."
She threw away her food and went upstairs, alone. She was still angry, but for multiple reasons.

James rubbed his neck a bit. He didn't think it was right for Elizabeth to suffer or anything over what had happened.

[underworldqueen]

He watched ELizabeth leave and he knew he probably just lost her. he closed his eyes for a moment before he walks over to his sister and took her hands. "I promised you when you were young i would protect you Kali with my life, and i will if it comes to that" he says "you need to more careful little sister with your decisions" he hugged her "your the only one of our siblings i like, i cant lose ya" he says

Kali nodded at Brandon "i know, im sorry" she says and hugged her brother back and looked at James. she did care for James a great deal. if she had to say goodbye to him to save him from her father she would.

[Vampiretwilight]

James sighed. He headed for the staircase.
"Elizabeth is very upset. I can tell she still loves you, but she is torn. Like you told me before, you need to work through the problem. Besides, I saw that sudden look in her eyes. Something tells me there is more to her tears than meets the eye."

Elizabeth sobbed when she reached upstairs. The sound echoed all the way downstairs.

[underworldqueen]

Brandon glared at James "your telling me something I already know" he says "i know there is more to her being upset with me, I know she loves me" he says "i also know i cant force her to tell me what else is bother her, if i do that she will not trust me and i will definitely lose her then" he says to him "so mind your own damn business" he told him. he could hear her crying and it broke his heart to hear that but he never let it show on his face.

He looks at his sister "if he still wants to court you i will give some privacy but i will be close enough to see and hear you" he told Kali. "now go talk to him see where he stands with the realtionship with you" he says

Kali took in a deep breath and nodded and made her way over to James at the stairs. "james wait" she says to him "can we...talk?" she asked him. Brandon wasnt far behind her.

[Vampiretwilight]

James narrowed his eyes for a very brief moment before he calmed himself. He blinked and looked at kali.
"...yes?"

Elizabeth was sobbing.

[underworldqueen]

she watched him for a moment and looked down. maybe it was a bad idea. she sighed softly "nevermind" she said him. he never did come her after everything he was going to Elizabeth. "just forget about it" she said softly and walked past him up the stairs.

Brandon watched his sister but followed her walking past James not saying anything to him.

[Vampiretwilight]

James stopped her.
"You can tell me. Just say it. please?"
He was gentle with her. His kindness was showing.

Elizabeth continued sobbing. She was scared and upset on top of being angry.

[underworldqueen]

she sighed as she looked at him when he stopped her. "where do we stand?" she asked him

Brandon was a few steps above her.
