August 12th, 2009
It becomes apparent that whatever Bristow does will have no negative effect on the town of Brookwell. He has established himself as a sort of "Robin Hood", and has enlisted humans to help him in his quest to destroy the rich and spoiled. As Bristow rides with Rosetta through the streets, the bullet he fires at Christopher misses and actually hits Vuris in the leg. Vuris in turn throws a knife at Bristow's horse, which misses.
Adam notices Vuris' injury and demands Jackson care for him. As Jackson refuses, eager to go after Bristow, Adam stops and takes Vuris on his horse with him, throwing him over his shoulder.
Bristow tells his rider to take a sharp turn into a dark alley. He jumps off the horse with Rosetta, hoping that Christopher, Jackson, and Adam will follow the rider while he gets away. He goes through a secret passage in the wall, which goes underground and comes up in a seedy bar, where his humans mingle. Rosetta tries to scream and insult Bristow, and to silence her, he shoots her in the leg. He then shoves his glove in her mouth to further silence her.
Meanwhile, Margaret makes a bribe with the police officer, paying him a great sum of money to keep this incident private, thus not ruining the Abberton's reputation. The officer demands more than she is willing to offer, blackmailing her by telling her that he will ruin her reputation by exposing her as a lesbian. Margaret, although furious, agrees.
Back at the scene of action, Jackson and Christopher realize Bristow is missing from the horse they are chasing. They tell Adam, who originally says he should get Vuris back to the mansion, but passes out from loss of blood, falling from his horse. Vuris gets up and finds the hidden door, charging through despite his injury. Christopher and Jackson follow, leaving their horses and Adam outside.
Back at the mansion, Raiden finds Elizabeth and the two talk for a while. Elizabeth, with questionable sanity, tells Raiden that she has her heart set on killing Bristow that night. Raiden tried to talk her out of it, but ultimately fails. He settles on going with her, and she agrees to it. Raiden then spends time introducing Elizabeth to weapons, none of which she knows how to use.
Vuris leads the way through the tunnel, and around the corner the three realize that the rest of the tunnel is being guarded by a fair amount of humans. They manage to lure them into coming around the corner, and either knocking them unconscious or killing them.
Margaret, curious about Christopher's midnight chase, follows him in order to find the killer. She kills a human who tries to rape her in an alley, and finds the hidden door. She notices Adam, and leaving him there for now. As she enters the tunnel, Jackson, Christopher, and Vuris move on further past the guards, leaving Margaret alone. Once Margaret exits the tunnel, she slumps down next to Adam, not knowing what to do. She then notices that Adam is dead.
Bristow makes it to the bar, and has the humans tie Rosetta up. She spits out the glove and insults Bristow again. Since his humans are too afraid to bind her mouth, he goes to bind it himself. Rosetta then bites fiercely into his hand, not letting go. Bristow screams, but ultimately his humans are too fearful to act. Vuris manages to get on top of Bristow, and Bristow points his gun to Vuris' forehead.
Christopher, Vuris, and Jackson then burst into the room. Vuris immediately attacked, yanking Bristow's hand from Rosetta's mouth, causing a large chunk of flesh to tear off. The humans grabbed some guns and aimed them at Christopher and Jackson, commanding them to freeze. Christopher and Jackson do no such thing - in fact, they charge at the humans, killing any in sight. Christopher then ran to Rosetta, to see if she was alright. Upon being in his arms, Rosetta immediately passed out.
Vuris gets off of Bristow, and challenges him to a proper battle. Christopher tells Vuris he'd rather just kill Bristow now, but Vuris wants the battle so much that he knocks Christopher out. Christopher collaspes with Rosetta, both now unconscious together. With all the humans in the room dead, Jackson walks over and helps up the two.
Bristow tries to fire a bullet at Vuris, but realizes in terror that he is out of bullets. Vuris snaps and becomes animalistic, tearing out chunks of Bristow's shoulder with his teeth. Bristow manages to get away from him, and climbs out a window, escaping away on a horse into the next town. Vuris carries out Christopher and Jackson carries out Rosetta, and discover that Adam is dead. Vuris takes Adam as well, and the two ride back to the mansion.
Meanwhile, Margaret has been walking to the mansion on foot. As she gets there, she refuses to let anyone see her in her state. She tries to around back by hopping the garden gate, but falls, hits her head on a boulder, and is knocked unconscious. Raiden and Elizabeth's plans were halted as they heard her fall. Raiden, suspecting it to be Bristow, rushes outside, only to find Margaret. He helps her up and into the house, and Elizabeth helps her onto a sofa in the parlor. It is clear that Margaret has a concussion. Margaret, having mulled over the idea that Raiden could possibly be related to her, finally accepts him as her half-brother. Raiden drops his grudge against her.
Jackson and Vuris discover there are human police all around their house. They give a fine notice to Jackson, letting them know that the Abbertons are being fined for "damage to the city of Brookwell" and for "public disturbance and intimidation". The police soon leave, angering Jackson and Vuris.
Once Vuris gets inside, he dumps Adam and Christopher in a closet. Jackson calls for a doctor and Rosetta is taken up to her room. He then sits in the parlor, drinking and filling in Raiden what happened. Margaret is introduced to Vuris, who finds he likes her for her un-typical attitude as a woman towards men. Christopher wakes up in the closet with Adam, and, considerably freaked out, charges out. He then goes up to the room to see and comfort Rosetta.
Margaret, in her loopy, concussion-enduced state, becomes infatuated with some cookies Vuris brought out, and even plays the piano for the promise of some. As Elizabeth, Vuris, and Jackson get drunk and sing along, Margaret suddenly stops, takes the cookies, and leaves. They follow her to the kitchen, where she bitterly gives the cookies back.
(Last update ends on page 120.)
July 31, 2009
Jackson and Vuris get acquainted further as Elizabeth walks downstairs to see James in the kitchen, shocked that he isn't in bed. Vuris sees Elizabeth and introduces himself with a kiss upon her hand. James immediately becomes jealous and does not like Vuris, having not met him until now.
Christopher decides he wants to take Rosetta somewhere special. They left the mansion and climbed on Christopher's horse Artemis, and rode out to a secret waterfall by the mansion. The two intended on spending a romantic evening together, but spotted a strange boulder moving to one side from behind the waterfall...
Raiden and Adam re-aquaint themselves, and Raiden fills Adam in on what they know so far about the killer. Adam realizes he saw a man that fit the described appearence riding around the property before he came in the mansion, but said nothing because he was sure he was a resident. They both realize that it's Bristow, and they need to find him. They alert all the guards, and Adam suggests that Raiden stay at the mansion because of his injury. Raiden refuses to do so. They leave two guards at the mansion, and the rest use the Abberton's horses from the stable and set out to find Bristow. They see Artemis missing, and realize Christopher is out.
Back at the waterfall, Christopher and Rosetta become nervous and suspicious of the moving figure behind the waterfall. Christopher gets on Artemis and helps Rosetta up. Sure enough, Bristow steps out from behind the waterfall, balancing on a few rocks. He asks for Lord Abberton. Christopher says he hasn't seen him and goes to pull back on the trail. Bristow steps out onto land and loads his gun.
Raiden, Adam, and the guards come across the clearing. Raiden addresses Bristow with his name, taunting him. Bristow taunts him right back as Raiden discreetly pulls out a knife from his belt. Adam then realizes they are surrounded by humans, who have been hiding and are trained guerilla-warfare style.
Bristow then yanks Rosetta off the horse and backs away, pressing his gun against her temple. A security guard sharing the horse with Adam fired his own pistol at Bristow. Bristow tumbled out of the way, taking Rosetta with him, but realize he has been scratched in the arm by the bullet and is bleeding. The surrounding humans then attack.
Raiden gets off the horse and lunges for Bristow as Adam and the other guards fight off the humans. Raiden tackles Bristow and gets on top of him. Bristow pulls his pistol away from Rosetta's face and points it in the direction of Raiden, and fires. He takes off a chunk of Raiden's ear, and then kicks Raiden in the stomach, which gets him off from on top of him. Bristow then seizes the opportunity to escape on horseback (which magically appeared). He gets on the horse with a human rider, and they knock Rosetta out and ride away. Adam and the guards are unable to do anything, and Adam is brutally injured in the leg. The humans then disappear as soon as Bristow leaves.
Meanwhile, at the mansion, Elizabeth, James, Vuris, and Jackson saw the guards on horseback through a window. The security guards left in the house try to get the group into a safe room in the security corridors. James and Elizabeth follow, but Vuris and Jackson have other plans in mind. Against the guards' orders, they leave and head for the stables, to go after the killer on their own. Elizabeth tries to take comfort in James, but with all the turmoil and pain she's endured this past week, her mental state is feeling shaky.
A bang is heard on the door of the safe room. It is another guard, come to inform the guards they need back-up - that Raiden is wounded and Rosetta has been kidnapped. The guards are forced to take James and Elizabeth with them, for fear of leaving them alone in the mansion.
Jackson and Vuris stumble upon the scene of action too late - the killer has gone with Rosetta. Raiden's stitches have been torn, and is losing a great amount of blood. Adam and Christopher get Raiden up on Artemis while Elizabeth and James arrive with the guards. Vuris and Jackson decide they're going to take the remaining horses and go after the killer. As they both climb on the horses, Adam forbids them from going. Jackson gets off the horse, but Vuris rides after Bristow. Adam, infuriated, gets on a horse and chases after Vuris. And finally, Jackson, not wanting to be left out, gets on the final horse and rides away after them.
Christopher makes it back to the mansion with Raiden before Elizabeth, James, and the guards do. A doctor is already there and fixes Raiden up. Raiden finally has the chance to tell Christopher that he is their half brother. Christopher doesn't really let it set in - he is too worried about Rosetta. Raiden then encourages him to go after Rosetta. Without a second thought, Christopher does just this. He gets his rapier, gets on his horse, and rides into town. He leaves as soon as James and Elizabeth get back. Elizabeth insists James get to bed, since he's been moving around all day. She kisses him and the leaves him there.
Meanwhile, Bristow, followed by Vuris, then Adam, then Jackson, ride into town. It is night now, and they run through the still-busy streets. Rosetta regains consciousness, and begins to struggle. Bristow cuts off a black covered-carriage, which is almost brought off the road. Margaret steps out of the carriage, and, upon seeing the curious sight, instructs her driver to follow Bristow.
As Margaret follows, she almost hits Christopher on horseback. Christopher dodges it, and fills Margaret in on what's happened. A police officer started to follow the strange bunch, so Margaret decides to "take one for the team" and stops the police officer. Meanwhile, Bristow tries to get Christopher off his tail by firing a bullet at him.
Note: I changed the events slightly at the waterfall in regards to Rosetta being kidnapped, because there was some confusion there whether Christopher had her on the horse with him or not.
July 21, 2009
Christopher took ahold of Rosetta and told Margaret not to be hypocritical. Margaret decides everyone in the family has turned against her and she is no longer welcome. She promptly gets her coat and some money and gets in a carriage to leave.
Christopher chases after Margaret, leaving Rosetta inside the mansion. Amy is shocked that Margaret would leave and locks herself away in her room, near tears. A stranger named Vuris bets with the driver of Margaret's carriage that someone would stop Margaret from leaving. Vuris loses the bet, but acquires a home at the Abberton mansion as Margaret is driven away into town. Vuris asks many questions about the mansion, all of which Christopher answers, but with annoyance.
Meanwhile, Rosetta ran into her room, and started packing her bags. She intended to leave, for fear that Christopher now hated her for what she did to Margaret - for "tearing a family apart". In the bathroom, while washing the blood off her neck, she had an anxiety attack. Elizabeth discovers her there, and discovered her intentions. She tries to comfort her as Raiden comes to apologize for everything that has happened.
After he assured that Vuris had a room, Christopher knocked on Rosetta's door. Elizabeth answers, and tells him that she desperately needs his comfort. As Christopher tries to say he forgives her, Rosetta accuses him of lying, irritating Elizabeth. Eventually, Christopher convinces her he doesn't hold her responsible, and Rosetta's anxiety dies down.
Christopher leaves and goes into James' room, needing to tell him about all that has happened. However, James is asleep. Christopher sits down in an armchair and eventually drifts off into sleep from mere exhaustion.
Azalea and Renaldo recieve a letter from their sister Julianne in Wales, who asked them to come visit her. She leaves a letter for Christopher telling where she and Renaldo have gone, and to tell Margaret (when she returns).
The next morning, James wakes up, not too thrown that Christopher is magically in his room. Christopher fills James in one Margaret leaving, (which angers James,) and Rosetta thinking he's mad with her for it. Christopher then asks James about how things are doing with Elizabeth.
As Rosetta wakes, Raiden asks how she's doing. Rosetta's legs are feeling a bit shakey, as she is still nervous from the previous night, but tells Raiden she is fine. As Raiden leaves, Rosetta flings open the door in her room, almost hitting Jackson in the face. Jackson has just got back from hunting, but does not tell Rosetta this. Instead, he asks how she is doing. Rosetta asks if he could help her walk to find Christopher.
A knock is heard on the door, and Adam arrives, a new member of security arrives with some security guards. A maid alerts James and Christopher, and Christopher goes to greet him. Adam and the men leave to get settled in, and Jackson and Rosetta walk in. Jackson leaves the two of them alone. Rosetta wants to talk, so she and Christopher go into the parlor to do so. Rosetta said she felt betrayed that he didn't defend her, but also fees responsible for Margaret leaving. Christopher finally convinces her that it wasn't her fault, and that he's not angry with her. The two of them embrace and kiss.
James meanwhile journeys downstairs, for no maids or servants have been attending to him. He discovers that the household help is throwing a party in the servant's corridors to celebrate Margaret leaving. He chews them out, but very few listen to him. One maid leads him into the kitchen, pours him some bloodwine, and leaves.
Vuris, who had woken up earlier, had been hoping to surprise anyone who came into his room by unsheathing his rapier. Since no one came in, Vuris was soon bored and left. He went downstairs, and accidentally locked himself in a broom closet. Jackson stumbled upon him and let him out.
July 17, 2009
SYNOPSIS ACCORDING TO BLUE:
a creepy man came and hurt james and raiden. now theyre both in bed. amy is talkin to raiden. elizabeth heard that her bro died. woo
Christopher arrives back, introducing himself to Renaldo, who proves to be quite the trickster. Christoper then is reunited with Rosetta, who jumps on him in joy before they decided to take a walk in the garden and talk.
James decides to take Elizabeth for a ride on his horse on a path his father used to take him and his siblings, when they encounter a creepy man, who says he has business with Lord Abberton. James doesn't recognize the man, and disturbed by him, they try to run away, not telling him anything. Turns out the man has incredible strength and speed, and runs after James and Elizabeth, keeping up with a horse on foot.
The man is then accompanied by three other riders, one of which helps him up onto his horse and gets away. Christoper and Rosetta, seeing this in the distance, set out on Christopher's horse, and Raiden sets out as well. Raiden kills the one rider, and then tortures another until he confesses the name of the mysterious man: Abram Bristow. They discover Abram is the vampire killer, and Raiden kills the rider for having helped in the killing himself. However, Raiden was slashed in the shoudler to his hip by the rider, and James and Elizabeth were thrown off James' horse. Elizabeth landed on top of James, suffering no damage, but James broke his collar bone and a few ribs.
Meanwhile, Jackson comes to talk to a still hung-over Margaret in her room, who is as dismissive and cranky as ever. Renaldo, sneaking into the doorway of Margaret's room, flicked a blueberry at the back of Jackson's head with a slingshot. Azalea comes in to tell Margaret something has happened to James. Margaret pushes her way out of the room and heads over to James'. Unable to dress herself, she appears in nothing but her night gown and robe, her hair down and messy.
James is transported upstairs on a make-shift stretcher, and a doctor is called to help him, while Elizabeth sits by him, crying. Meanwhile, since Raiden is not of noble blood, he is dumped in the hallway with rough bandaging and nearly forgotten about. Christopher insists a doctor tend to Raiden, while Rosetta takes Elizabeth for a walk, trying to get her out of the tension.
Raiden has now been placed to rest in Elizabeth's room, joined by Amy. She serves him bloodwine and the two talk. Amy mentions that she and Margaret were once "sinful lovers," quite a different story than the one Raiden had heard from Margaret. Raiden starts to get the picture that Margaret and Amy were once a couple.
Christopher briefly leaves James' room to answer a knock on the door. It is Katherine, Elizabeth's old friend. She has arrived to tell Elizabeth that Victor, Elizabeth's older brother, had died. When Elizabeth hears the news, she finds James again and cries into him. Christoper follows her back to James' room. As James tries to comfort Elizabeth, Margaret walks in, and Christopher tells her briefly what happened,. Margaret however doesn't register most of it. She insists on seeing Raiden for clarification, and rushes into Elizabeth's room.
Upon seeing Raiden in such a condition, Margaret screams for a doctor. As the doctor begins to re-bandage and stitch Raiden up, Amy's frustrations towards Margaret come out (thinking she has a new lover in Azalea) and she exposes their past relationship to Raiden and the doctor, much to Margaret's terror. Margaret explains Azalea is nothing more than a friend, and while Raiden says he has nothing against the two for their sexuality, he becomes sick of their bickering. Margaret decides to take the discussion with Amy back to her room for privacy. However, Christopher was roaming the halls, and listened in on the conversation. When Margaret exited the room, she realized Christopher heard everything. Infuriated, she insists to see Amy alone, with the intent to berade her.
Christopher goes back into James' room, saying he learned something about Margaret. However, James expresses his wishes to be alone with Elizabeth. They are soon joined by Raiden, who tells Christopher that Margaret should be the one to tell James. James is now suddenly curious. Christopher and Raiden agree that Margaret should be the only one to say anything... right after Raiden trips over a rug and falls.
Meanwhile, Margaret tries to change her clothes while waiting for Amy, but fails at even putting on a simple sundress. As Amy comes in, she helps her dress, and Margaret's anger subsides from being in such a position around Amy. After Margaret is dressed, Amy rests her arms around Margaret's waist, and Margaret kisses Amy. The two admit they still love one another, and, after talking for some bit, fall asleep next to each other on Margaret's bed.
Raiden manages to make his way downstairs, where he sees Azalea. She had earlier gone down there to avoid all the commotion. She assists Raiden to his room, as he cannot move easily without pulling on his stitches. When Azalea asks how Raiden can be the main guard of the Abbertons when he is so clumsy, Raiden lets a long-kept secret spill - that he is actually the son of Lord Abberton and another woman. The woman blackmailed Lord Abberton into keeping Raiden.
Christopher leaves James and Elizabeth be, and goes to find Rosetta in the garden.
Margaret and Amy wake up to a servant knocking on the door, announcing dinner is ready. Margaret explains that Christopher knows about the two of them. Even so, the two realize there isn't much they can do except attend dinner and keep quiet. Before heading downstairs, Amy helps Margaret get dressed in something more "fitting" than the yellow sundress she was in - choosing a dark red dress and keeping her hair down.
As Azalea is alerted that dinner is ready, she also discovers that Renaldo has been playing practical jokes on all the maids, making one even cry. She yells at Renaldo at the dining table, oblivious to everything else - even when Raiden, in a drunken state, admits to Margaret that he is her half-brother. Margaret, refusing to believe her father was an adulterer, blocks out the idea and assumes Raiden is trying to upset her because she is a lesbian. Margaret runs off and Amy comforts her, trying to get her to come back to dinner.
Meanwhile, Christopher and Rosetta sit down at the table, where Jackson is lightly chastising Renaldo. Azalea has chosen to ignore him. Margaret goes back to sit down at the table, where Raiden painfully begs her to believe him. Margaret ignores him, which infuriates Raiden. He then angrily leaves the table. Rosetta excuses herself to go find and comfort Raiden. Even as Christopher asks, Margaret refuses to tell him what Raiden said.
Rosetta tries to comfort Raiden, but eventually breaks down herself, both hurt by Margaret. Raiden tells Rosetta not to keep everything bottled up and to tell Christopher about her feelings, but she doesn't want to burden him. Rosetta then hugs Raiden, which does help him feel a little better. She helps guide him to her room downstairs, so Raiden doesn't have to wander around and damage his stitches. He finally just settles into an armchair.
A knock on the door is heard, and Demien Blackwood becomes the newest guest at the Abberton mansion. He is greeted by a maid and Azalea, who blushes at his gentlemanly nature. Margaret introduces herself as the lady of the household, followed by Christopher. Margaret feels a pinch of jealousy that Azalea is focusing her attention on someone new. Christopher says the Blackwood name sounds familiar, but Demien doesn't know what he's talking about.
Margaret sits back at the table, and takes out her jealousy about Azalea on Amy, who is confused and doesn't know what she's talking about. Margaret then spots Christopher, and asks him about what happened to James. Annoyed, Christopher tells her again, and is soon joined by Rosetta. As Margaret finally seems to grasp it, Raiden re-enters, and tells her the name of the killer. It is then that Margaret sees Christopher and Rosetta together.
Furious, she goes off on Christopher about courting dirty blood and how he is letting down the family. Rosetta, standing up for herself, backhands Margaret across the face. As Margaret shoves Rosetta back, Raiden throws a dagger into the floor by Margaret's feet to hold her off. Rosetta seethingly tells Margaret she can tell Margaret has feelings for Amy, which sends Margaret flying over the egde. She tackles Rosetta and begins to choke her. Raiden restrains Margaret, telling her he'll serve the members of this household before he'll serve her. Margaret uses his claim of half-brotherhood against him to try to get him back on defending her. Raiden isn't fooled, and Rosetta climbs to her feet, her neck bloody from scratches and bruised.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth and James had dinner in James' room, and Elizabeth soon excused herself to bed, but instead wandered downstairs and watched the fight unfold.
July 7, 2009
At supper, Christopher announces he will be taking a trip, and abruptly leaves, making Margaret furious. Margaret takes out her anger on Raiden and Jackson, which eventually makes Jackson uncomfortable enough to leave the table.
Amy begins to think Margaret has found a new lover in Azalea, and Azalea becomes uncomfortable with Amy's glances. However, it is Amy that gets up and retreats to her room. Margaret thinks it to be because of her drunken behavior, and is silently guilty the rest of the night.
Christopher found Rosetta roaming the halls, and wished her good-bye, exposing their relationship to James. After Christopher has left, Elizabeth finds James in the parlor and confronts his about them sleeping together. She, in love but hurt, yells at him for using her. James tries to avoid the situation, but Margaret comes in and joins Elizabeth's yelling for using her. James says he "needs more time" and runs off to his room. Raiden persuades Margaret to leave him alone. She does so, and leads Elizabeth to her room. Azalea excuses herself to her room to get some much-needed sleep.
Early the next morning, James woke up and paced around the parlor, thinking about Elizabeth. Rosetta finds James, and James good-heartedly teases her about Christopher. He then asks how love is different than lust or attraction, and with Rosetta's explanation, she decides he is attracted to Elizabeth, but not in love. He goes to her room and apologizes, and asks to court her. She accepts, and James takes her out to show her the Abberton horses.
Margaret, after throwing up most of the morning, talks to Raiden, who asks if he can take a leave of absence to send some money to his family. Margaret asks him not to leave, and so he stays, and decides to mail the money instead. Margaret finally has her hang-over herbal remedy, putting in some honey. She asks Raiden to retrieve Azalea, so as to thank her for the idea.
Azalea wakes up from an emotional dream about her family, crying. Raiden finds her, (sent by Margaret,) and gives her a brief hug. Azalea then makes her way to Margaret's room, where a brief thank-you takes place before there is a knock on the door. It is Azalea's younger brother, Renaldo, come to find her.
July 1, 2009
Jackson approached Raiden (who was very hung-over) to talk, and the two became friendlier. Jackson spilled that he has "ways of finding out" who some of the vampire killers are.
Meanwhile, Christopher and Rosetta solidified their feelings of love for one another, as they cuddled with one another on the couch. They noticed Raiden and Jackson, and Christopher introduced Rosetta to them. Jackson left, and Raiden playfully teased the two new lovers. Christopher realized he had work to do, and left Rosetta, who went up to her room and refused to come down for dinner.
Margaret chased Azalea up to her room, banging on the door to be let in. When in, she threatened to kick Azalea out of the mansion if she told anyone of her moment with Amy. Eventually, after many drinks, Margaret told Azalea of her whole secret past, which Azalea swore to keep hidden.
Just before dinner, James arrived home, and came across Elizabeth. Elizabeth had fallen in love with James, but James was unsure how he felt about Elizabeth (although there were definite feelings he refuses to address.) At dinner, the two steal glances at one another, and James excuses himself from the table.
June 29, 2009
After Margaret criticized Rosetta, Raiden followed her out to the garden, upset with her behavior. His blood is not the noblest, and took offense to what Margaret has said. Margaret became upset after learning she hurt Raiden, and ran off into the garden. She cried by a fountain, to be joined by Amy. The two of them talk intimately, and as the sun started to rise, Margaret rested her head on Amy's shoulder and she stroked her hair. Azalea stumbled upon the two of them, feeling jealous. She immeditaley dismissed the situation and left to her room.
Margaret, terrified Azalea would tell her brothers of her sexuality, chased Azalea inside, leaving Amy in the garden.
Rosetta met Christopher, the two immediately taking a liking to one another. Christopher comforted Rosetta after what Margaret had said to her, and Rosetta gave him a hug. The two talked some more, realizing they had a lot in common. Christopher and Rosetta left the room, where they kissed all night. The two fell in love with one another.
Erika asked Raiden if he was alright. Raiden was feeling upset that no one was mourning his men, and used the party more as a social gathering.
James and Elizabeth got drunk together, and James took Elizabeth up to his room. The two made love, and the next morning, Elizabeth told James she loved him. James didn't love her back. She stumbled back to her room and James left the mansion to avoid responsibility.
June 25, 2009
Aria and Raiden begin to become closer friends, eating together in the kitchen. Elizabeth became acquainted with Aria this way.
Amy joined the mansion, an old flame of Margaret's. Margaret initially tried to deny Amy residence, but eventually gave in. Christopher and Azalea encountered Rosetta, showing her kindness and welcoming to the new home.
Erika also joined the mansion, lead in by James. James likes the Petrikov family, despite some old tensions between the Abbertons and the Petrikovs (based out of the Abberton's vanity).
Margaret, Christopher, and Raiden made plans to hold a memorial service for the guards that had died.
At the party, Raiden asks Margaret how she knows Amy. She lies and says Amy tried to prostitute herself to Margaret. She finally meets Rosetta, along with Elizabeth. Margaret slyly criticizes Rosetta for not having a wealthy or pure bloodline.
Christopher chastises James for being drunk and scaring off memorial guests.
June 18, 2009
I have added another silly poll. Seriously, I need better questions than promoting my ego...
Rosetta joined the mansion. James encountered and and learned she had been without social interaction for ten years. He warned her to stay away from Margaret.
Elizabeth went to visit Margaret to apologize for not helping her defend against Jackson. Margaret dismissed it. After taking a nap, Margaret was called to discuss with Christopher about whether taking Jackson in was a good idea, marriage, and about Raiden's men being found dead.
June 17, 2009
Christopher found a room for Jackson and showed him to it. Raiden found no news on who killed his men, and sat outside Margaret's door as she slept to guard her. Aria offered to help Raiden keep guard so he could sleep for a few hours.
The next morning, Elizabeth stumbled over James outside, who had fallen asleep drunk on a hill. James remembers nothing of the previous day, and allows Elizabeth to walk him back to the mansion so they can get "acquainted".
Margaret woke up completely hung over. Azalea came into her room to comfort her, and offered to listen to her problems. Margaret came close to telling Azalea about her past lesbian affairs, but at the last minute decided not to.
June 16, 2009
I have added a silly poll, with the intention of getting gold, since I am poor. I'll change it every couple of days, so you can get polling gold as well. Feel free to PM me poll question ideas!
Raiden discovered a cellar rack with blood wine and other alcohols mixed with blood. At dinner, Christopher recieved an anonymous note that reads, "One will die before the end of the summer", greatly disturbing and upsetting the members of the household, especially the Abberton sibblings.
Raiden stumbled upon a pile of bodies upon one of the beds. It was his fellow guards, all dead, but there was no time to focus on that because of an intruder in Margaret's bedroom. Jackson ran up on her balcony to escape a riot of humans. Everyone scrambled to her room, and Margaret dismissed her intruder to the hands of Raiden and Christopher out of stress. She threw up in the master's bathroom.
The vampire killer Abram has been introduced, and he slayed his messenger - the one who handed the note to Christopher.
June 14, 2009
Margaret called Christopher from studying his uncle's diary and James from the bar to talk to them about continuing their lineage. She says they must marry to continue the bloodline, but she cannot marry because she will be forced to take another man's name. Neither brothers are happy about it. Christopher reluctantly agrees, and James avoids the subject by answering the door.
Elizabeth Lenoire joins the household, with a note from her brother, letting her stay. Christopher and Azalea show her to her room.
June 12, 2009
All three of the Abberton sibblings taken. But many more residents needed!
