[IC] Blood of Two Worlds

[Jazz]

With that it made Damien confused based on what Lord Grant said. "So he wants to know more about you but won't hear it? How does that make sense?"

Alex and Vincent bowed to him as to agree to his invitation and sat down. Across from him. "Sir. We wanted to talk to you and your wife about a child we recently found and treating. May she join us?"

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ana said as she folded her arms “no…he won’t believe it if I did tell him…so I don’t want to get into it not now…”

THe Duke nodded and said “of course. But what is this all about?”

[Jazz]

Damien's face softened apologetically. "I apologize."

Alex nods. "There is this little girl named Zoey. She was kidnapped and we found her with an aide named Luke. She wasn't scared of this realm and Dante referred to you and your wife regarding Zoey and her well being."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ana sighed and said “it’s my burden to bare…” she knocked on a door and the voice inside said “enter” she opened it to the Lords office with him working at his desk.

The Duke glanced at Dante who smirked and the older brother said “you trying to give me grey hairs? Alright let me meet the girl”

[Jazz]

Damien was silent and nods as his only answer of understanding. He follows behind like a shadow, making sure to keep his eye on Lord Grant.

Alex nods before standing up and offers to lead him to the little girl. Vincent walks behind at the rear.

[MegaraFoxfire]

The lord looked up and saw the pair and said “Lady Shade, I’m glad to see you’ve recovered. What can I do for you” Ana took a deep breath then said “I need to see any reports you have on attacks that could be cursed ones…”

Vale got up and followed, Dante walking with his brother. The Duke asked “what can you tell me if this Zoey?”

[Jazz]

Damien stood slightly behind Ana as he was her silent support and observing.

"Little sadly. She is human but she does not fear us. She stayed with Luke while they were under the stage." Alex explained.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Lord Grant put his pen down and looked up at her, his eyes narrowed. “And why do you want them?” Ana put her hands behind her back, the wolf able to see she was shaking.

“I want to see if I can help any other cursed ones…or track down Panic Discord…”

Vale looked at her and said “not afraid of us? Even with our nature aura around her? Very interesting…now I’m more interested in his child”

[Jazz]

"If we are to continue going after Panic Discord and cure the cursed, we need any reports no matter how small they maybe and far apart. Who knows what we may discover." Damien adds. As much as he wanted to let Ana do this on her own, but he didn't know howelse to help but to help clarify their intentions.

"It is strange. I have never heard of such a thing from a human and a child no less' surprised herself to be honest.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Grant looked at the pair then said “very well then. I’ll send the reports I have seen that fit to Duke Vale’s office. Was there anything else?” Ana shook her head but her eyes said different. “No that’s all…”

Vale looked at her and asked “what else did she say? Anything else interesting?”

[Jazz]

Damien only nodded, though hated that that Grant was so cute throat with them. It had to be because of Ana's presence he wondered. He waited till Ana was ready to leave when he followed with caution. Not because of Ana but because of Lord Grant. His wolf was on edge.

Alex tried to think of anything but there wasn't much he could think of. "No. Not that I can recall." When getting to the hospital room the guards saluted to the four before opening the door for them to reveal a nurse making her rounds.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Grant nodded and went back to his paper work. “Your dismissed then…” Ans turned to leave but paused. “Lord Grant…I’m sorry you blame me for things that happened in the war…but I’m not the cause of all of this. You need to let it go. I’m not the villain here…” Grant stopped writing mid word and his gaze came up, glaring at the woman before him. “Pardon me?”

Zoey was awake now and eating snacks the nurse had brought. When Vale walked in and saw the child he stopped dead, his eyes wide. “What…is that the girl?” Dante nodded and said “ya…brother what’s wrong?” Vale didn’t move as he muttered “she looks just like him…but it can’t be…”

[Jazz]

The air was tense that Damien feel his wolf's fur bristle nervously and his tail curled inwardly. Damien himself felt nervous as he glanced back to Lord Grant. He was unsure if he should intervene or back off. He leaned more toward intervening with Ana's back turned to the Lord. It was natural to defend one of the pack but for one who is clearly older and experienced, it was also better to back off. With caution he looked back to Ana.

Alex looked between Duke Vale and Zoey confused as to what the Duke was saying. "I'm sorry? What's going on?"

The nurse looked to the girl once she jotted down what she needed. "Need anything from me sweetheart?" She asks with a smile.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ana didn’t turn as she said “you heard me. I’m done playing nice with you. I didn’t care before cause I wasn’t here to have to deal with it. But now lives are at risk. So if you don’t want to help me then get out of my way and let me do the duty I was given by the moon goddess…” grant stood up and his eyes glowed and then Ana turned, her own eyes glowing. “Don’t forget whose older, Grant…and I have a lot more power behind me then you do”

Zoey shook her head and said “no im okay. Thank you for everything…” she looked over and saw the adults and tilted her head. “Who’s that?”

Dante blinked and said “Brother?” Vale stared at the girl and muttered “she looks like…Darien…Darien Woodsworth…” Dante turned back and said “but…that can’t be…he died didn’t he?”

[Jazz]

Damien back out of the way as stood close to Ana but still out of her way. This is not something he should be in the way for and better to watch till need be.

The nurse looked to the adults and bowed her head to them. "Good morning my Lords, my Lady."

Alex bowed to the nurse. "Good morning." She steps forward to see Zoey better. "Good morning miss Zoey? Remember me?" She asks.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ana glared back as Grant growled softly and said “very well…I can see your done hiding. Let’s see where this goes…” Ana nodded and left the room banging the door open. Grant looked at Damien and said “be good to her…she’s more powerful and needed this you know…”

Zoey nodded and said “your the fox! Hello!” Vale came and sat down by the bed. “Hello my dear…”

[Jazz]

"I will do my best." Damien said with a small bow of his head. He felt his wolf relax a little but not completely, still a little nervous about the situation that occurred. It was then Damien followed Ana while giving her some space just in case.

Alex smiled and gave a small nod. "That's right. These are my friends. They wanted to meet you. "Zoey, this is Duke Vale. Duke Vale, this is Zoey." She introduced.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ana stood in the hallway, her arms shaking badly. She had her head down, her hair covering her face. “Just…want…peace…why is that so…hard to grasp…”

Vale held out his hand and the girl took it. “It’s a pleasure my dear…your far from home” Zoey sighed and said “I don’t have one…not really…my mama is gone…I never knew my daddy…I don’t have anyone…”

[Jazz]

Damien looked a bit saddened to see Ana not happy about the conversation she had. He wasn't sure what he could do. He slowly walked over to Ana and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Sometimes to grasp what we aren't use to. Not everyone can see what others do."

Alex was saddened by the explanation knowing she was orphaned. Vincent watched. "I'm sorry to hear that sweety. We had an idea. We are wanting to keep you safe. And to do that we were wondering if you wanted to stay with Duke Vale in the mean time like a long sleep over." Alex suggests with a smile.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ana kept her head down but suddenly turned and fell into his arms, crying silently as she hid her face in his chest. She shook against him, trying not to break down totally. “I am not the enemy…I just want to help…”

Zoey blinked and looked at Vale who nodded. “My wife and I have had children. They are grown but we would be happy for you to stay with us till we are sure your safe” Zoey’s eyes grew wide and then said “I…could have a home…here?”
