Shadow's home on Earth.

First topic message reminder :

A lonely house stood un the middle of a field hidden by the dense forest and protected by many invisible charms from many dimensions, making the house practically invincible. Round the back of the house, sat a block of stables housing a small pegasus herd that Shadow had bred herself.

Shadow appeared at the tall iron gate into her house, which was surrounded by a high wall. Muttering several words in many languages though her projected thoughs, the gates opened and she led Violet and Phoenix through before closing them with yet more words. Shadow turned to her two friends. Welcome to my home. She signed to them.

Shaeman nodded.

Draco looked offended.
"Of course I care!"

"Could have fooled me!" she said back

"Great...they are fighting." She said, hearing Draco scream. Violet sat up, grabbing the book again and started reading it.

Shaeman began to meditate quietly, blocking out Draco's reply.

"DO YOU THINK I'VE EVER DONE THING BEFORE?!" Draco shouted.

Phoenix glared "YOUR NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THIS IS NEW TO!" she yelled back.

Violet shook her head, running out of the room. "You never yell at her like that." She hissed at Draco. "She is pregnant and is scared and has been...forced into this! So you better show some respect for her." Violet said, walking over to Nixy. "Come on." She told her.

Shadow had walked into the room, doing some furious sign language, and looking furious. Shaeman leaned against the door frame.
"She says to keep the noise down. She's trying to meditate and it's hard enough geting the twins to concentrate." He translated boredly while Draco just looked shocked.

Phoenix looked at Shaeman "Tell her i'm sorry about the noise" she told him "Vi, i'm gunna stay, we need to sort this out" she said.

"She's not deaf, just mute." Shaeman said.

"I know that. I meant in your room." She said, pointing to the door.

"I know" she told him "Vi, i need to do a DNA test"

"I hate this job." She mumbled, pulling out her wand.

Phoenix stood still as Violet did the DNA test.

Violet mumbled some words and a light appear. Tapping the light, two words popped up. "I told you who it was." She mumbled, looking at Nixy

Phoenix looked at Violet "Well who is it?" she asked

"Henry..." She mumbled, walking back to her room and sitting on her bed.

Phoenix fell to the floor and burst out into tears "No!" she yelled.

Shadow walked out of the room, followed by Shaeman.

"I feel awful." Violet said, looking down at her hands.

Phoenix held her head in her hands and cryed.

Shadow leaned on the doorframe into her childrens' room, watching them sleep.

Violet sat up, shutting her door. She pushed her hair behind her head, grabbing the book again.

Phoenix stood up and wiped her tear, looking at Draco she told him with tears still in her eyes "Well, i guess you can go, sorry for all this"

Shadow sighed as she sat on Archangel's bed, stroking her daughter's hair gently.

"Shaeman, maybe we should leave.....well I should." She said. "I've ruined everyones day." She mumbled

Shaeman shook his head.
"You can't leave here right now."

"Why not?" She asked, picking up her clothes.

Phoenix looked at Draco waiting for his reply.

"Well, er... ok..." Dracosaid, going outside until he came running back in, chased by a very angry looking pegasus. "WHAT IS THAT?!"

"Because it will put you in danger." Shaeman said.

"Im in danger everyday." She mumbled, putting the book back up. "I can just go to my house. Or the Death Eater's den." She said, walking to the door.

Phoenix had to burst in laughter "I have no idea" she said laughing.

"And what happens if your father searches your mind. You put everyone here in danger as well." Shaeman said, grabbing her arm.

The pegasus neighed angrily before walking off again, leaving Draco terrified.

"Draco?" she asked walking towards him.

Violet looked at her arm, then back at him. "He cant get here, remeber." She said, looking back at her arm.

"As long as no one knows the words TO get in. You've heard them." Shaeman said.

"Stay" she asked him.

"But I dont know them." She said, pulling her arm from him. "I just cant stay here, not right now. I've ruined everyones day and Nxy is mad." She said.

Draco looked confused.

Shaeman sighed.
"Ok, but if something happened to the twins, you'll have to answer to Shadow."

"Stay here with me" Phoenix said.

Draco nodded, albeit a little bemused.

"I know." She mumbled. "I'm just going to ask before I go, but if you want, you can come to." She said, walking over to the stairs. "I'm going back to my house." She mumbled.

Phoenix looked at him "I don't want you to feel like your forced to stay"

Shaeman nodded.

Draco shrugged.
"S'ok, as long as that thing doesn't come after me again."

Phoenix smiled "That was one of Shadow's horses" she told him.

Violet disappated to her house, sighing

Phoenix approached the door "I'm just going to ask Vi something" she said before leaving and knocking on Vi's door.

"Then your friend has some strange horses." Draco sighed. There was a soft 'plop' and Draco jumped, rubbing his hair. He looked up to see a dove sitting on a rafter, seemingly grinning at him.

Phoenix quickly came back in her room looking at Draco she grinned "Draco, you have...ermm something in your hair"

"Will someone kill that thing!" Draco yelled, refering to the dove.

Phoenix couldn't help but burst out laughing "Sorry" she said trying to stop laughing "Let me wipe it off" she said getting a towel to wipe it.
