The Queen Is After Me

April just gave him a small frown.

(( They need to be able to touch like all the time! Just have to! We need to work something out. Maybe there is something in April's DNA that makes her immune to it but they don't know because they never tried and he accidentally touches her and nothing happens? Haha I dunno. As for the pasta - I'll have some! )))

Ryan walked to him and she scratched the cats ear.

((asdgfg I dunno. They'll figure something out - the lady that Daniel's asked to curse Daniel comes along and makes an enchanted item???))

Keagan stayed silent as he continued with his job before finally mumbling, "Potatoes in the big cupboard toward the back. Could you peel 'em? Just a couple."

Orion smiled and asked, "You wanna hold him?"

The cat was still purring loudly.

(( Yeah, t'is a good idea )))

April nodded in response, getting to her feet and doing as he'd asked her to.

Keagan finally finished skinning the deer, throwing the skin to the side and then sitting back on his haunches to stare at the rest of the deer, head cocked in thought as he determined where he would start.

April glanced over her shoulder at him.

She shook her head. "No thanks."

((Skip Vamp?))

Keagan was sat on the outside porch of the house, hurriedly and almost sloppily yanking his trainers on, not bothering with the laces as he tucked them into the sides. He was obviously worried and panicked by something.

April had been heading towards Keagan's home to see of he wanted to do anything today and frowned deeply when she saw him on the porch. Lingering near the front gate and calling to him, "You late for something or is there something wrong?"

"Had a call from Danny. He's pretty worked up; someone's trying to break into the house so I have to go over and put a stop to it without horrendously freaking him out."

"I'll come with you," April replied instantly, "How long ago did he phone you?"

"About a minute and a half ago. Apparently she was circling the house for about an hour before but now she's really trying to get in."

"He must be terrified," April replied with a deep frown.

((ok can you post first?))

"Takes a lot to rattle the kid, what, with his parents, but he sounded genuinely scared." Keagan quickly stood and ducked around her leaving a gap of several feet between them as he did so before quickly walking forward, almost at a jog.

Orion was sat on the curb in the street, talking animatedly to a young boy sat next to him, hand clasped tightly around the boy's skinny wrist. Considering the boy's slit throat, Orion had obviously reincarnated him to talk to him.

Ryan was just walking around the street and she had Snowflake at her side.

April followed close behind him:

"I mean, is there anything you'd wanna do? Cause, it kinda took you by surprise and you probably have people to say goodbye to..."

---

"People normally leave the house well enough alone because of the wards that were set years ago, so I don't know how she's seen it..."

"Let's just get there, yeah? I'm sure he's just fine but the quicker we get there the better." April replied with a small frown.

Ryan saw them from a distance and she didn't want to completely admit it, but she was started to fall for Orion.

"If she's hurt him I'm going to kill her." Keagan said it almost casually.

---

"I don't know what you want to say cause I can't hear. The whole..." Orion used his free hand to gesture at his own throat and the young boy gurgle.

Snowflake grabbed Ryabs bag and she ran to them, shaking the bag and Ryans diary and pen fell out.

April nodded, glancing to the house when they got there.

The boy next to Orion was startled by the sudden movement and noise and jerked to his feet, stumbling forward.

"No, no, you aren't supposed to let go!" Orion darted after him but wasn't quick enough as the boy tipped over and hit the floor limply, clearly dead again. Orion looked dejected as he slowly moved to sit cross legged next to the body.

---

A woman suddenly rounded a corner of the house, looking up at it with her hands on her hips. Keagan didn't even stop walking, striding purposefully towards her.

"Sorry Orion, you know what Smowflake is like." Ryan told him as she walked to him.
