*Possibly a beginning to something bigger, no? Sorry for the wait. Enjoy.

"I feel like my nose is so cold it's about to fall off. No, seriously...it is. See, there it is on the floor. Damn."
"Stop your whining and pick up your nose." As Demetri was huddled over picking up his fallen appendage I had to resist kicking him in the rump.
"And why, pray tell, are we out in the middle of this frozen hell?!"
"Because the fiery one is reservation only."
"I swear I'll never get over your wit. Just wait till something far worse than a nose falls off of you Aiden." His complaining was starting to severely try my patience, and I wondered why I had been stuck with such a soft accomplice.
"Are you done Demetri?" He let out a heavy sigh.
"I guess." When is this guy suppose to be here anyway?"
"Do you ever read the file before a meeting?" Demetri proceeded to shuffle his feet and I knew it wasn't because of the cold.
"Of course. What?"
"Our contact is not male but female and she's already here in a way. Hopefully your idiotic talk hasn't ruined things. Just keep your mouth shut from here out." He opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted.
"And I was starting to find him amusing." Once I caught sight of the beautiful snowy figure I bowed my head.
"My lady." I could feel her hot iciness on my skin and yes, I must admit, I was enchanted.
"No need for bowing though it was a far better response than this one's." She was referring to my cohort who just stood there looking bored.
"You must excuse him, ma--. Sorry but by what would you liked to be called?"
"You, my dear Aiden, may call me Dagmar." I smiled as she was not ashamed to show that she apparently had a file on me as well.
"Well, Dagmar, please excuse Demetri, his manners are rather rusty."
"Hey! That was neither appropriate nor true." Dagmar let out a light chuckle.
"Either way I'm sure both of you are tired from your journey and extremely cold, so how about my place for some refreshing?"
"I'm in," Demetri managed to get out with such enthusiasm that I thought he was going to wet himself. The lady smiled delightfully and I was just happy that she wasn't irritated by his behavior. Offering my arm I asked her to lead to the way.
"I'm afraid that will just make the cold worse for you."
"The cold has little affect on me."
Taking my arm Dagmar replied, "I sure hope that's not true in all cases." Of course Demetri had to interrupt the moment.
"So are we going or not?" Dagmar just smiled and began to escort us to her place.

Over the Line
511
I felt as though the burden of all my sins had been lifted however even though I was elated I wasn't oblivious. Maynard wanted to see me. I had been avoiding him and the clan for almost a month now although that isn't entirely true as one cannot simply avoid the clan. I considered them family yet I couldn't face them after the change that had taken place in my life. No doubt they knew and having to face them couldn't be helped.
I was glad that my lover was out of town for a few days as sneaking out of our apartment would have been difficult not to mention Maynard wouldn't have stood for a rain check. I arrived at the complex a little past ten, it looked empty but I could feel their presence.
"Glad to see you Olivia." The room carried Maynard's thick Russian accent sending lightening down my spine. I kept my head lowered out of custom. Before I knew it Maynard was standing in front of me. "Now love we go back too far for that," he said while lifting my chin.
"Sorry," I whispered.
"No need to be sorry for such a petty thing however..." he let his voice trail. I could feel the others rustling in the shadows. "We've missed you, though apparently our sentiments haven't been returned." When I tried to speak I was immediately hushed by Maynard's hand. "I'd advise you to only speak when I ask a question. Things will go more smoothly then." I just nodded my head. "Seems as though you, Olivia, have found love and have forgotten who your family is in the process. Am I correct?"
"Yes. Well no. I haven't forgotten you." I tried to direct the 'you' towards all who were present.
"Liar!" Maynard shouted with full which sent me flying backwards until I hit a pillar. My spine felt as though it had shattered, my was vision was blurry. "What other reasons could you have for avoiding us?" As he spoke I could feel his hand at my throat.
"I didn't...I didn't think..." I couldn't get my thoughts out.
"Well it's obvious that you certainly didn't think or you would have shared this joy of yours with the rest of us. You owe us that much." He loosened his grip. "Truthfully I could care less about your love life. It's your place here that matters." His pause left me dreading whatever I would be subjected to next. "You, Olivia, were one of my children. Blessed by the very moon you were born beneath." The 'were' struck deep leaving me with nothing to do but cry. "I can't stand the sight of you anymore."
That was the last thing I heard from Maynard followed by his footstep. My vision was coming back yet I closed my eyes as I heard the others begin to move. I had betrayed my family by hiding from them. Now it was time to pay for the new sins I had committed, so I braced myself for their avenging hands.

Losing Sleep
450
So there I was lying in James' bed, still as I could be and staring at the wall. I was so out of it that I didn't even notice him standing at the doorway.
"You know I've been calling your name for about five minutes now. Why didn't you answer?" I could do nothing but stare and smile. He came over and gently touched my face. It was nice to know he was real again; my sense of reality isn't in good shape. "Have you been lying in my bed all this time?"
"For the most part."
"Please tell me you've at least eaten something Maria."
"I can't remember." James sat at the edge of the bed.
"Three days is too long to go without food." My sense of time wasn't so great either.
"Sorry," I muttered.
"I wish you wouldn't mope when I leave. I mean I do have to make money." James had business conferences a few times a month but I still wasn't use to him being gone that long. I should been though since I didn't work. I mean I did what I could around the house but I certainly couldn't be called a housewife.
I sat up which definitely made it apparent that I needed food. I played with the hand that was closest to me.
"You look like hell you know," he said laughing a bit. I just nodded. "Think you're up to taking a shower?"
"I think I can manage." I had a fear of abandonment even though there was no rational reasoning behind it. Life is all about people coming and going but that is exactly what I had an issue with.
James gently kissed me on the forehead and said, "Why don't you go and take a shower while I make something to eat. Just try not to pass out." We both smiled. I hugged James and held him tight before he whispered in my ear, "don't worry I'm not going anywhere. I'll be here when you come out." I let go and headed to the bathroom as James headed to the kitchen.
I took a pretty short shower in comparison to the usual. Mostly I just let the water run over me since I didn't have much strength for a vigorous scrub down. After drying myself off I laid on the bed and closed my eyes.
I guess I was there for awhile because James ended up checking on me.
"Is that a new outfit," he inquired referring to my robe.
"It'll have to do for now." We laughed simultaneously. "Well your food will be ready in about twenty."
Placing my head on his shoulder I said softly "can't wait".

Cell
Two weeks then love will be again,
Four until slumber can be had
But I'm tired of the waiting.
Purgatory finally taking it's toll
As these scars just keep multiplying
Cause there's no escape,
And the music will only make us deaf.
Yet pryomaniac tendencies
Whisper sweet nothings in my ear,
Promising a means to the end
While nourishment only further disgusts.
So as I stand on this ledge
The pavements sings,
A sweet solemn lullaby
And as I plumment
Towards those arms of solace
I always stand to wake,
Broken and weary
In an empty bed.
Four until slumber can be had
But I'm tired of the waiting.
Purgatory finally taking it's toll
As these scars just keep multiplying
Cause there's no escape,
And the music will only make us deaf.
Yet pryomaniac tendencies
Whisper sweet nothings in my ear,
Promising a means to the end
While nourishment only further disgusts.
So as I stand on this ledge
The pavements sings,
A sweet solemn lullaby
And as I plumment
Towards those arms of solace
I always stand to wake,
Broken and weary
In an empty bed.
