Grand outdoor garden

[Sorrybutgoodbye]

Color and beauty

The one place where you can forget about all the war and every thing in your life for a moment. The garden is will care for by many people and helps deal with depression and other pains.  

[Sorrybutgoodbye]

Night in the Garden was Alice's only time she could be alone. Her guards would go to the exit's to make sure no one that looked like they could do her harm could enter. She felt so alone so days but here she forget all her pain and worry. Hope had been at the bases more then she would like, but her child wanted to end the war fast. Sighing her fingers brushed past the plants as she went like a moon light shadow float through the dark greens. every since her mates death she had to be strong no mater how hard it seemed some days. Seeing a weed she pulled it and crushed it in her hands. "One day we will have peace....and one day there will be love again" she said to her self as she looked at the night sky. The last pure blackblood females, the most prized woman among the vampires and wanted by the re.  

[Red Gypsy]

Sebastet just gave a soft chuckle at Hope's disbelief over her mother pulling any kind of prank and followed her into the garden, pausing just inside of it to enjoy the beauty of it. It was a tame place as far as she was concerned, but it was beautiful. Then Hope was moving on and she followed, soon seeing Alice as a grown woman instead of the child she once knew.

She'd changed so much...

She stayed back a bit, allowing Hope to go first. She somehow knew that the girl wouldn't be able to resist tattling on Grann and wanted to see Alice's reaction to the idea that he'd a woman to his bed within moments of seeing her. Then she waited for Alice to see her, part of her wondering if she'd changed in Alice's eyes, or if she would even remember her after all this time. After all, Alice had only been a child when she'd seen her last.

She'd told the girl that she had to leave, explained it to her, and she'd accepted it as she had everything, with a child's mentality that everything was going to work out just fine in her life.

She shook off the memory and waited for those once-innocent eyes to find her, getting her mind back in the here-and-now where it belonged.  

[Sorrybutgoodbye]

Hope smiled as they got to the garden and she saw her mother. she had been away for a few months and it was good to see her mother out of the house."O mother guess what?" she called out walking up to Alice, "I Caught Opa in bed with a woman and now she is Oma."

"HOPE" Alice said turning to her child. As much as she was smiling she could not believe what her child said in a public place. "that is something that is not for the whole world to hear" she said hugging her daughter, "how are you sweet heart I have miss your much." She had yet to see Sebastet or even pick up her scent of yet.

"I know mother but now I have something to hang over his high and mighty head" Hope said hugging her back.Yup her mother was still the same, sweet loving and delicate. She smiled as she looked at her mother before moving out of the way and looking at Sebastet. "Mother meet are new Oma" she said

"kitty Lady" Alice said in shock and disbelief. She just stood there not sure what to do for this was some one who was her best friend as a child, who she played with and enjoyed her younger happier times with. She smiled and went and gave her a gentle hug. "I missed you" she said, "you have changed from what I remember you as a child."  

[Red Gypsy]

Sebastet couldn't help her smile at the old nickname and hugged her back before finally pulling away to look Alice over, "I've changed?! You're all grown up! What happened to the curls? What happened to the girl who suggested the peanut butter in the jewelery box?" she asked her, looking totally shocked and dismayed that Alice had changed even though she wasn't, knowing full well that that one memory would at least bring a smile to her face.

"And don't bug Hope too much. She caught us in bed, after the excitement was over but before we got dressed," she couldn't resist that one, "I think Grann has plans for a better lock on the door now. But right now, he's off doing something about the walls. A little later, Hope is going with me to get my stuff so I can move into Grann's room and make a mess out of it. After that, I need to know who the most serious person is so that I can teach Hope how to prank them properly. I can't believe you left pranks out of her education. I know I taught you that pranks are an important part of childhood, one that shouldn't be left out. Now I'm going to have to teach you all over again while giving her the lessons you left out," she told her off in a way that was sure to get a laugh out of her.

She didn't like the frown lines around her eyes or the dark circles, the worry that her face seemed to carry, the dark look in her eyes that spoke of too many things gone wrong. But that meant that she was going to have to step up her game to get rid of all of that and return Alice to the beautiful woman she knew was in there, the one who knew how to laugh and have fun...  

[Sorrybutgoodbye]

Ok Alice could not help but smiled and laugh lightly at that. "O yes Rose never forgave me for that but it was so wroth it to see the look on her face" she said as her face brighten up a bit. O she had so forget about that and how much she loved pranking her grandmother and the fact her mother let her get away with it and not once tried to punish her for it. "I did not get to teach hope much things growing up" she said, "After her father died his clan started to train her and raise her to be a elder. I still got to tell her stories and teach her lesson but that was it." She was happy how her daughter turned out. Hope was a good strong girl some thing she was proud of. "o dear you two are going to be trouble for grandfather" she said shaking her had and laughing

Seeing her mother smile and laugh brought a grin to Hope's face and made her happy. Opa was right she need this more then any one would know. "Hey I did not mind it proved to the other elder some one so young as I can run things" she said before laughing, "I can give you that list. The elder could use to lighten up a bight." she loved the idea getting to learn how to prank people for all she did learn was how to held them in talks and fights.  

[Red Gypsy]

Sebastet grinned right back at Alice, "Do you really think I can resist poking at him or that council the messenger mentioned before he ran off? Come on Alice... It's just too much to resist..." she was nearly bouncing in place just with the thought of all the trouble she could get into.

She did lean forward to place a light kiss on Alice's forehead, "I am sorry I wasn't around to help you, Bright Eyes... I had a few things to deal with on my own. But I'm here now and I'm determined to keep you smiling. Even if it does get me into trouble with Grann," she finished that with another grin, thinking that getting into trouble with Grann probably wouldn't be a hardship.

Her emerald eyes finally turned to Hope, "I'll take that list, Imp, and you can tell me a little about each one of them while we get my stuff. And plan our first prank while we're at it. the whole key to it is making sure that you don't get caught or leave any evidence of yourself behind. The peanut butter was your mother's idea and she was successful in making sure that no one knew she was the one behind it. Rose had no idea it was her. She blamed it on me for a while until I pointed out that she couldn't prove who it was that did it. But she never ate peanut butter again, hated the smell of it too," she couldn't resist that. She'd been so proud of Alice's prank that day that she'd even taken her out to track down her first pet...  

[Sorrybutgoodbye]

"its all right thins happened, things we can not change for the better or the worst" Alice said with a sigh, "I have learn to just except the pain I feel and move form it." Many tried ti help her but she knew it would do no good now. but for now she was going to enjoy having a old friend around. "Mother always liked you a lot. she said you where the perfect roll model for any one girl to grow up with." she said. she missed her mother some much and had found her self think back on her often. The most feared killer among her clan was all so the most loved one by her father. "O please Grandfather would let you get away with anything, but it would have a cost" she said smiling, "i have a feeling some night you will be locked in that room while punished you." Alice was a Lady yes, but she did enjoyed her romance novels a little too much.

"I can get you that list in no time" Hope said, "there is not many clans left this days." She was brushing off being called imp for she did not care for it. She was taller then her mother but shorter then her grandfather. she was a tall girl for her age and bloodline. "can we leave bedroom talk and whats going to happen when Opa finds out between you two" she said, "his my opa I look up to the guy and thats all I need."  

[Red Gypsy]

Sebastet grinned at Alice, knowing that she was right about Grann, and just winked at her before turning to Hope, "I call you an Imp cause they're always getting into trouble and causing mischief. But if you don't like it, I'll just have to come up with something else," she told her, letting her know that she could accept Imp from her or Sebastet would find something worse to call her.

Then she turned back to Alice, "As for you, young lady... I ran into someone a while back who would make your romance novels go up in flames. Keep up this pouty down-in-the-dumps attitude and I'll have to call him up to see if he can be to you what I am to your grandfather," she threatened, fully intending to carry out the threat though the teasing look in her eyes might have given the impression that she was only kidding.

"But right now, hope and I have an errand to run. When we get back, why don't you plan one of your dinner thingy's as a picnic so you can introduce me to the important people I'll need to know. But plan it for out here somewhere so that I don't have to sit in one of those stupid uncomfortable chairs Grann likes to keep around that thing he calls a table. I still say it's only good for bowling, though," she added, knowing Alice had inherited her mother's love of planning events, plus it would show everyone that she accepted her grandfather's choice, especially since it still left her in place as his heir...  

[Sorrybutgoodbye]

Hope and Alice just looked at her before Hope started to laugh. "O gods please do that mom needs a man in her life to keep her busy" she said laughing at the face her Oma would bring a guy here to bring her mothers fantasy to life. she could not help but think what type of wild man he would be as she stepped away from her mother or got smacked.

"HOPE" Alice snapped at her as her eyes blushed. She was not going to agrure that she was not down in the dumps or pouty. she just knew that would bring more trouble on her self from Sebby. she did not need a strange man in her life. she had one good man and that was enough. "I will get to work then" she said smiling, "a party will be nice and i am sure every one could use it about now. So you two head off and no trouble."

"no promises there mother" Hope said hugging her, "We will be home safe though." She stepped back and Let her mother go hugged Sebby as will before they had to go. She wanted to be home before dawn came so she could hear more story's of her mother.  

[Red Gypsy]

Sebastet laughed at Hope's words then returned Alice's hug as she walked off with the girl, tossing a grin over her shoulder, "Do you really think I could live in the Dark Forest without causing trouble? Besides, I promised Hope I'd teach her how to survive it. Might as well start her lessons now," she said with a playful look in her eyes as they left, giving Alice no chance to say anything else to them.

As for hope's suggestion that she really should bring in a guy to keep her mother on her toes... Well, Sebastet was already considering it seriously... Knowing full well that Ash would keep her very happy and off balance enough to enjoy life again... Still, throwing an Incubus at someone wasn't done lightly, so she'd have to think about it a bit more...

((Exit to the Dark Forest))  

[Sorrybutgoodbye]

Hope waved bye as she followed Sebby out of the garden and the city, just leaving her mother to sigh and shake her head at them. "At lest she will have a good teacher" Alice said smiling. she headed out her self and called her guards to her. As much as she loved to stay more in the garden she need to get home and plan for a party. Alll so need to find a dress for Sebby to wear. none of her dresses would fit the kitty lady. Plus she wanted something that specked of Sebby. Wait her guards behind her Alice headed off back to the house. ((exit))

✰ The once lively garden now grew to a dim silence. Voices...echoing across the bushes and hedges in the area. He paid no mind to them and found serenity with the floral greens surrounding him. Infinity was a humble man who made trips to the garden necessary. The time of day didn't matter. The sweet, soothing scent of precious life followed enveloped him in a warm embrace. It was enough to help contain sanity. But behind such beauty is darkness. Darkness that threatens to destroy the wondrous works of nature. The same concept applied to people. They once beheld a beauty known simply, as love. Love lost due to the treacherous ways of the vermin known as the Re. The mention of that hideous alias was taboo to Infinity; oh how he wished such barbarians hadn't existed. The grief and anger began to boil inside once more. It was happening again. The vampire grited his teeth, baring fangs as he held his head down to the ground below. He may not bear no living heart but the agony he endured eternally still fought fiercely to bring him down. But alas, this was his entire reason for coming out to such a quiet area on his own.

✰ However, there never once a slight moment where Infinity never thought of her. Whether it be a coincidence, the white rose always stood out before the man as he brought back up his attentive gaze. They were Her favorite flowers; a concrete reminder that She would never leave his side. Just like that, his frustration was vanquished and a small but hopeful grin followed. It was hard for him to believe that it was only a few years ago since his beloved unexpected passing. Time was irrelevant to Infinity. What was time anyway? A mighty judge that had dominion over living creatures. It knew when beings came and went; its agenda confidential to those who sought answers. A never-ending spiral into a dark abyss, much like the rose itself. Its shade matched that of his tailored, plain suit. Again, another coincidence. He plucked the rose from the vine and lifted it to his eye level. Infinity was a tall and slender gentleman who never spoke much to anyone. Social gatherings were no different. Never the third wheel. Never the beggar for attention. Infinity liked it better this way for he feared getting too close to anyone emotionally. Too much had been sacrificed to get him to the point he was at now. These sacrifices, per say, were never positive. But then again, that's why he came to this garden. Its peaceful setting wielding the poqer to ease a troubled mind. He had sniffed the white rose a few times before holding it down to his side.

✰ "Perhaps just a while longer here, my lady?" Infinity suggested softly. He could jave sworn he'd just seen an image of his lover before him. The mind was devious trickster and Infinity knew well of it. He quickly realized his mistake and continued to wander about the garden; his precious white rose still at bay. Maybe today would be day he is accompanied by someone.

Alice's eyes would not stop going lighter as she thought of what Ash could have planed for her later in the night when they where alone. Really she did not need some of those thought in her head but she could not help it. "Yes but first we must get ready for a party" she said hugging his arm as they got in to the garden. This was her Favorite place to be among the flowers. Here no one could judge her and where she could forget things. Though bit made her sad to see if so quiet at night, with no one to enjoy the beauty.

"The center of the garden would be a perfect place to set up for the party" she said to Ash as they walked, "there we can get all the different scents of the rarely flowers." She moved her long white hair over her left shoulder as she walked about planned things. As she planned she could pick up the scent of not only the flower but of the people where where there and had been there.  

[Red Gypsy]

Ash smiled down at her as he escorted her through the garden, his hand over hers on his arm, his long hair still loose and half-covering him. He had to force himself to look away from her so that he could see the garden, "This place is truly beautiful, Alice. You have every reason to be proud of it. Showing it off during this party should be your crowning event," he told her softly, his beautiful tenor voice telling her nothing but the truth.

Soon enough, though, they made it to the center and he looked it over with a slow nod, "I'll get started with laying everything out for you. Just tell me where you want everything," he suggested as he motioned to the area to their left where a few human servants had the things they would need and were waiting to help.
