Snippet #1621525

Amber shook her head. "Manners, Adrien," she reminded him, voice exasperated. She looked up at the sheet again; another visitor? That must be who Kage had heard, she figured. But how much attention was this place really attracting with so many people heading their way? She nodded to the girl that had just burst in. "Please keep your voice down; we don't want others to find us." Shouting like that was a good way to attract attention...but then, so was so many people coming in to find them, when it seemed only one of them was really even looking for any of them. "This house is becoming full fast..." she mumbled. That certainly wasn't good, not when they were hiding. Hopefully they wouldn't end up having to run off to keep from being found by the Hirules.

She had recognized the look Kage had given the girl, and then herself. She had been around Shad long enough to know what that look meant, but at least he seemed to be able to control himself. She figured she'd have to see about getting that taken care of soon enough. Otherwise, there would be problems later; like him losing that control, or the blood coma she had seen Shad go into before. But before she got to that, she'd have to find something to do about the guests; she recognized a little of the girl that had just come in, so she wasn't overly worried about her. But any Hirules that had noticed she had to keep out. She shrugged, walking away from the sheet and towards the others. "Come in, I suppose; don't need you lot freezing out there. But...try to be a little quieter, will you?" As she passed Kage, she whispered, Leave the girl alone; if you can wait a little bit, you can have some of mine." Aiden hadn't been too fond of that idea when Shad had been taking her blood, and she had no doubt Adrien and Arlayna wouldn't take to the idea, either. But he was half-vampire, and did need blood. She had grown so used to that before, anyway, that she figured it wouldn't bother her too much. But, because she was sure the twins wouldn't approve, and because she wasn't sure any of the others really wanted to see a vampire feeding, she'd have him wait, just until everyone went back to sleep for the night.


Arlayna winced as the girl ran in, shouting. They were supposed to be hiding...and their mother only scolded the girl about it, and rather gently, too. This wasn't going to end well. She was losing her patience; she didn't know or trust any of these people well, and it bothered her that they all seemed to be coming in during the same night. Why? And how were they finding them? Clearly Desmond hadn't hid the house well enough, she figured, and was rather pleased with the thought; he was a Hirule, after all. She stayed closer to her brother, not trusting all these others; she might have stayed nearer her mother but she was closer to them than Adrien was. "How long do you think until the Hirule notice us?" she asked him in a whisper, glancing around the others. Surely it wouldn't be too long...unless Desmond hadn't though to keep out anything but the Hirules. In which case, it wouldn't end well. It wasn't as if the Hirules were the only ones that would be after them; there had to be some sort of reward for anyone else that caught them and brought them to the Hirules...what that might be, though, she had no clue, and was't entirely sure she wanted to know.
