Ivan smiled at Illusion, "that is great." he said happly then kissed Ebony back. "and I love you too, I will always love you." he said happly and wrapped his arms around her. He didn't want to leave her ever.

Ebony sighed and closed her eyes. She breathed in Ivan's intoxicating smell and smiled. "Tommarrow.... The shapeshifters..." she said quietly. She wished fiercely that their night hadn't been ruined by those horrible cult members. She then kissed him passionately wondering if they could spark that flame again this night or if it was lost.

Ivan smiled and kissed her back just as passinatly. He wrapped his arms and pulled her closer, wanting her so close that he knew that no one would be able to take her away from him. He had thought that he had lost her twice today and that had scared him more then the idea of death. He ran his hands down her back as he kissed her even more.

Ebony smiled wrapping her arms around Ivan and kissing him lovingly. She ran her hands down his chest and smiled. She could only pull away for a second to breath before he would find her lips agian. She bit his lip and pressed herself needing to be close to him.

Ivan growled when he felt her bit his lip and slowly stuck his hands up her shirt. He wanted her very badly now and only her. He loved her more then anything.

Ebony smiled and his shirt dissappeared under her touch. She smiled knowing her shirt was going to follow any second. She kissed him pressing herself closer and traced his lips with her tounge.

Ivan growled as he felt her tounge trace his lips and pulled her shirt off. He needed to be close to her and have his skin pressed up agenst him now.

((Palmoun are you playing the queen))

Illusion go bye bye. Illusion hurt. Illusion no want to see Master or Princess hurt. She said to Ivan, her musical voice breaking. She didn't wanna leave, but she didnt want to feel their pain either. It killed Illusion knowing that she was 10 years old. She wasnt the strongest phayrie out there.

Ivan stoped kissing Ebony and looked at Illusion. He then shook his head and brought her closer to them. "no, your not going anywhere. I dont want to see you go, your like a doughter to me and a very close friend. I am not going to lose you." he said as he looked at her.

Illusion turned her head so Ivan couldn't see her face."Illusion 10 year old!" She exclaimed."Illusion magic no strong enough to fight. Illusion no like blood!" She said rather strongly. "Illusion no good in battle." She said a bit weaker. "Master like Illusion father, but Illusion need to be stronger to keep Master and Princess safe." She said weakly.

Ivan brought her closer and gently stroked her head. "now now, you dont have to be strong for us or anything and we also dont like blood. We have been trying to stop from more blood from being shead." he said as he looked at her "and it is okay that your nto strong, your still young and learning. So please just stay with us so that we may teach you and be like your family."

Illusion couldnt help it. She started crying. "Illusion mommy an daddy murdered by Illusion ex-master. Illusion no save them." She sobbed. Her small body shook with the sobs. Illusion hugged Ivan as best she could. Fresh tears rolled down her cheeks.

Ivan wrapped his arms around her and kissed her head. "it is okay, I will protect you. I will make sure that nothing will happen to you, my little daughter." he said softly and let her cry. He knew that it must have been hard for her and knew that she still needed to learn about the world. It was okay that she couldnt protect them, she was still young.

Illusion looked up at Ivan, her eyes brimming with tears. "Princess?" she asked her voice weak.

Ebony looked at Illusion and could feel tears comming to her eyes. "Please don't leave Illusion... I've already lost Apollo.... I don't want another person leaving me..." she said and stroked the pixies head.

"Illusion want to be strong for Princess. Illusion no want to lose Princess or Master. Illusion lost mommy an daddy." Illusion said her voice breaking.

Ivan patted Illusions head, "and you will be strong for us. But you have to remember, your still very young and still learning. If you parents where still alive they would still be protecting you and makeing you stronger so that is what we have to do for you." he said as he looked at her.

Illusion just started crying again. Only this time she started crying on Ebony's shoulder. She hid her face in a mass of black curls.

Ebony stroked Illusions head and said quietly,"I love you Illusion." she knew it was the words that would heal the poor pixie. Those words had a big impact on hr whenever she heard them and they were very comforting. They kept her knowing she was cared for no matter what. And it seemed that Illusion needed those words most right now.

Illusion smiled at Ebony."Illusion loves princess too."

Ebony smiled at Illusion happy to see her cute smile. "Thank you Illusion..." she said and closed her eyes and breathed deeply. She could still feel the unshed tears for Apollo coming and she wasn't sure she could stop them even though she really wanted them to. She smiled down atIllusion and kissed the top of the pixies head. But a tear got away and rolled down her cheek.

Ivan gently reached out and whipped away the tear. "no need for tears, everything is going to be okay." he said as he looked at her and pulled both of them into his arms. He kissed Ebonys cheek, where the tear had been and smiled at her. "there is no need for tears." he whispered itno her ear.

The queen smiled at her and nodded, "yes, you can keep a eye on things and tell me if you hear anything like people or vampires comeing closer to the village." she said as she looked at her.

Ebony smiled and kissed Ivan back. "You always know how to cheer me up..." she whispered softly.

Apollo smiled and nodded. "That would be a big help." he added and rolled his eyes loving the food. "The cook has gotten better!" he said making the queen laugh.

Ivan smiled and kissed her back, he wondered if they could continue where they left off at. "and I will always cheer you up." he said as he kissed her.

Sarra laughed, "I forgot how much you like to eat and think with your stomach." she said as she laughed even more.
