They were something he worried over as well and it was kind of nice to have someone who cared again even if he was sure Sariah wasn’t used to this and a bit on edge over their situation. Which was a rather odd situation and occurrence, one neither was used to and there was so much more too it now other than the way they felt about one another. Their jobs weren’t necessarily in the way and maybe it was part of what was pulling them together and apart.</p>
<p>A painful chuckle left him as he pushed a gentle hand against his ribs, “Not sure about even but I appreciate it.” Sariah had been in a tough spot but Orion wasn’t sure her life had been hanging in the balance, but her safety sure had been. It was odd how it circled back around in such a way since it was obvious they would both place their lives on the line for the other. Though it wasn’t exclusive to just one another, to protect others they would both throw themselves on the sword so to speak and he idea of her putting herself in the same sort of situation he did, was like a tight hand around his heart. When coming to Evermore all Orion wanted was a peaceful and simple life, one that didn’t place his children in danger or cause their fear of losing him and in that regard he had failed miserably.</p>
<p>Clear blue eyes rolled no longer clouded with pain, “I’m a man that goes against the grain but even I’ll admit walking sounds like a bad idea.” His leg was splinted but still in a delicate state and not something he should be standing on let along walking on. “Didn’t intentionally give anyone reason to worry to begin with…” His voice trailed off at the end since he was well aware that the road to hell was paved with good intentions. His intentions in facing Elijah had been the best of intentions but it caused more collateral damage and fall out than he expected.</p>
<p>Orion only had a vague idea of Sariah’s life but no one that strong became that way from being coddled and shielded from the world. “I’d say you don’t have to but you’re smart enough to know that.” Despite his age and so called wisdom her words were still something he struggled with. Asking others for help wasn’t something an Alpha was meant to do they were supposed to be pillars of strength and what the community was supposed to be able to lean on, not the other way around. “You might be smarter than I am.” A smile played across his lips since despite her random rambling at times she seemed to know what he needed to hear.</p>
<p>The stirring from upstairs was not unexpected since he was sure Sera and Arwyn were unsure of what they would wake up to. They could probably hear the hushed voices from downstairs as well which meant he and Sariah would have to find another time to discuss things farther. Sariah was right, they needed time, he needed time to heal and Sariah needed time to process and decide where they stood. “Take all the time you need.” Though he didn’t need time to think, thinking tended to be dangerous for his mental health since it could easily overwhelm him. “I’m sure this wasn’t how you expected to spend your night.” He soothed well aware that just about anything would have been better than spending her evening into the morning in such a way.</p>

The Alpha wanted to hold her tight and convince her that he was fine and going to be find but pulling her into a bear like hug would only hurt him in his current position. The contact was enough to clamed his raging mind. When she spoke of being glad Seraphina decided to contact her he said nothing even though he knew she only did so because Orion asked. He knew it would have been better to tell Sariah the truth right now but it was part of a longer and larger conversation. All too soon Sariah was pulling away and getting ready to leave and he hated to see her go. He wanted to walk her to the door but he knew she wouldn’t appreciate him pushing himself for such a small gesture even if it was what he wanted to do. “Hopefully I’ll be seeing you soon.” He couldn’t say he wanted her here, he could but they both seemed to know now wasn’t the time or the place and he had to respected she needed her time and space right now. As the door closed he laid back on the couch a soft sigh on his lips knowing he would have to soon face reality and the consequences of his actions. </p> Despite the feeling of relief…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2018-01-21:6610746:Comment:3043692018-01-21T16:32:00.990Z✓ Sariah Amelie Holloway ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Tria

A smaller but longer present part of her however was still afraid of what killing Elijah really meant, it had been a rash and reckless decision and Orion seemed to be fine with the fact that he had just chosen to take someone's life.</p>
<p>The words saving my life lingered in the air for a few moments before a half smile crossed the blonde's lips "I guess we can now call it even" she answered smoothly and shrugged a little, he had after all ensured that she had gotten out of that rather dangerous situation she had been in when they first met. Despite her disagreement with the things he had done, Sariah knew she would have saved him 100 times over if she could have, meeting his children had been an eye opener for her into the kind of life they must have lived before they moved to Evermore city and the level of loss they had all been through, she really felt for them and wished nothing more than for them to be able to find some of the peace in life they craved. </p>
<p>Sariah shook her head a little in response to his words about coffee "You shouldn't even be sitting up yet, let alone trying to walk" she admitted with a stern gaze though it softened a little as she looked back at him "Don't give any of us more reason to worry" she added a little more sincerely in somewhat of a request, she had no doubts that he was going to try and be back on his feet way faster than he should have, but she hoped that perhaps he had a little sense left underneath his naturally determined nature. </p>
<p>A sad smile twitched at the edge of the human ambassdor's lips "I know way too much about trying to do everything on your own" she answered and shrugged a little "Eventually you have to admit there's no shame in asking for help" it was key to note that Orion never asked for her help, that had been the decision of his daughter, someone who had never even met her before. She brightened a little however when she realized that this meant the serum had positive results in trial, with some work they should be able to limit the level of pain reaction it had caused.</p>
<p>By now even Sariah could hear the stirring of both Seraphina and Arwyn upstairs, as much as she wanted to stay and make sure that all was going to be okay, the last thing she wanted to do was get in the way of what was respectfully a time for family. In response to his mutter Sariah pressed her lips together, the two of them had both been on a roundabout of emotions for the past 2 days and right now she didn't really know what it was she wanted "I think we both need some time, I need some time to process" she answered with a slight tilt of her head, there had been a lot shared between them and some of it was things she wasn't exactly open about discussing most of the time. "It's been a lot for a few short hours and I need to go home and shower" she answered agreeing that now wasn't the time to be trying to figure out their differences.</p>
<p><a href="http://78.media.tumblr.com/f465be45ce3d8a29ae589a4e40d3c3da/tumblr_inline_oqdevaqjeP1rifr4k_540.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="http://78.media.tumblr.com/f465be45ce3d8a29ae589a4e40d3c3da/tumblr_inline_oqdevaqjeP1rifr4k_540.gif" class="align-right"/></a>Sariah leaned forward to press her head against his shoulder gently for a moment in a semi hug, she didn't want to risk hurting him with the movement but at the same time she felt the compulsion to be close to him, just for a few seconds. "I'm glad Seraphina decided to call me" she admitted in a soft whisper as her eyes closed for just a few seconds to allow her to breathe in the moment. Afterwards she pulled away and slowly raised to her feet before rounding the couch and collecting the things she had left on the floor in the corner. Standing in the doorway she looked at him and smiled "I expect you to be back to full fighting form the next time I see you" she admitted with a half smirk as she turned and started to walk back through the way she had entered the house.</p> The peacefulness on her face…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2018-01-18:6610746:Comment:3036912018-01-18T01:47:17.188Z✓ Orion Valkyrie ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Orion

It must had meant she was having an unpleasant dream and the Therian truly hoped that he wasn’t the cause since going to bed anxious and afraid could give way to terrible nightmares. There was a strong urge to wake her but her features took on a determined look which was strange, though maybe it was just the way she slept, going through different emotions. He couldn’t help but watch her even if he was sure it was odd and maybe a bit creepy but he found her fascinating and he was grateful for what she had done for him. Sariah had given him hope when he thought all options were gone and he was alive because of her quick thinking even if she had question that decision the whole way.</p>
<p>He didn’t mean to wake her but his fingertips brush against her cheek as he pulled his hand away from moving her hair. He could see the flutter of her eyelids before her sleepy eyes open as she blinked a few times as she slowly came to consciousness. He could see the wheels turning as she tried to place herself since this was far from where she normally woke up. Granted this was his own home and he had been a bit thrown off when he awoke even though he passed out on the couch more times than he would like to admit.</p>
<p>“I would hope not since that seems a poor way to thank you for saving my life.” There was a small smile on his lips since he was sure she meant her words in a stronger tone but she was still trying to awake up. “I’d offer you some coffee but I’m not ready to try to move that much or that far.” The kitchen wasn’t that far away but with his splinted leg and sore ribs it felt like it was on the other side of the city.</p>
<p>It was easy to see the concern in Sariah’s eyes as she looked him over but there seemed to be some relief in her gaze from the sight of he now lesser wounds. It was a wide relief to Orion as well since the fear of leaving his children was no longer weighing heavily on his mind. “I’m normally a much better host.” His tone of voice was low trying not to wake his children since he could hear their soft breathing and gentle snores elsewhere in the house. </p>

Maybe I should have had you on standby but I was hoping I wouldn’t have to involve you.” Mostly he had never wanted to place her in the position she had been in the night before. “I’m sure that wasn’t the situation you hoped for when it came to a trail for the serum.” He could hear subtle rustling from other parts of the house. “Though it seems this may have to be a conversation for another time. If you’re willing to see me again.” He muttered well aware that almost dying wasn’t going to have her forget what happened or the pervious conversation they had. That was another they needed to discuss since he wanted to move past their current tension.</p> For years of Sariah's life sl…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2018-01-17:6610746:Comment:3037772018-01-17T23:31:28.019Z✓ Sariah Amelie Holloway ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Tria
<p>For years of Sariah's life sleep had been somewhat of a torture for her, all through her college years and in the years after she finally broke up with Noel she had suffered from bouts of insomnia and night terrors when she did sleep, she had spent countless hours at therapy sessions and at doctors appointments to try and ease the symptoms and eventually she had found a way to overcome the trauma that it had caused her and with time her sleep had become more peaceful.

<p>For years of Sariah's life sleep had been somewhat of a torture for her, all through her college years and in the years after she finally broke up with Noel she had suffered from bouts of insomnia and night terrors when she did sleep, she had spent countless hours at therapy sessions and at doctors appointments to try and ease the symptoms and eventually she had found a way to overcome the trauma that it had caused her and with time her sleep had become more peaceful. During this time however she had done a lot of research into lucid dreaming and becoming aware of a state of dreaming.</p>
<p>This particular time it didn't take her long to realize that she was in fact dreaming, she found herself in the very room she had spent the past few years of her college life, this was the usual setting for one of her night terrors, as if on cue she saw his face as she heard the front door open and then close again. Sariah raised to her feet slowly, knowing she was dreaming allowed her to control the dream as she wished. If her own consciousness wanted her to see Noel then so be it, she had no reason to feel the fear she always used to, this wasn't real.</p>
<p>"Why do I always see you when I'm afraid" she asked as the dark figure moved into the room and she looked back at him, the situation felt familiar but also foreign, she was so far from the girl that she used to be that she felt like a bad dream herself at times. Sariah's strength came to her through her work and learning to love herself and the person she was, it had taken a lot of time, she had needed space and she had doubted herself but she had found it and she had held onto it with everything she had. "Because part of you knows you're weak and can't handle reality" the voice had snarled.</p>
<p><a href="http://78.media.tumblr.com/adec02d5ce75fd7938f52cd03be04586/tumblr_nem5acM6Q31rp74xfo6_r1_250.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="http://78.media.tumblr.com/adec02d5ce75fd7938f52cd03be04586/tumblr_nem5acM6Q31rp74xfo6_r1_250.gif" class="align-left"/></a></p>
<p>Sariah face had remained calm as she shook her head "I am not the weak one" she answered matter of factly running a hand through her golden hair. There was one bit of damage that Noel had done that she hadn't fully recovered from however, her level of trust and faith in others. For the longest time Sariah had simply expected the worst of everyone, the man she loved had twisted her love for him into a game only he knew the rules to play, her friends had backed away and left her on her own, hell even her parents had been too busy to raise her properly and eventually she had realized that the only person that would ever save her was herself. After that, Sariah had decided she didn't need anyone but herself as everyone else was too busy in their own lives to ever put her first.</p>
<p><a href="http://78.media.tumblr.com/adec02d5ce75fd7938f52cd03be04586/tumblr_nem5acM6Q31rp74xfo6_r1_250.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a>"You're weak, you can't even function without me, every time something goes wrong you come running back to this very moment, you might tell yourself you don't Sariah, but you need me" there had been a time when that was true, she had loved Noel so much that she would do anything to make him happy, even if that meant never seeing her friends, doing what he said without question. "I never needed your sick and twisted games, I never needed you to tell me that I was worthless and I never needed someone to diminish a light they should have protected" he stare was hard and cruel.</p>
<p>Orion may have done things that she had to face and get over but he had done the one thing that Noel had never done, he had put her wellbeing ahead of his own, he had been ready to lay down his life to protect those he cared for, he treated her like she was worth the world and that was something she had failed to give him credit for when they had said their goodbye. "Then why am I still here?" the voice taunted with a nonchalant shrug of his shoulders. Sariah shook her head and walked out of the room and to the front door of the apartment.</p>
<p><a href="http://78.media.tumblr.com/b876e653d00d8497f5cb72a1169daaa3/tumblr_inline_p25lkv3f1H1rifr4k_540.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="http://78.media.tumblr.com/b876e653d00d8497f5cb72a1169daaa3/tumblr_inline_p25lkv3f1H1rifr4k_540.gif" class="align-right"/></a>"Where you going baby?" he had followed her standing in the doorway the very same menacing look on his face that felt familiar "This is the end Noel, I'm done being afraid of you" she spoke it calmly as her hand fastened around the door handle "I don't need you" she words felt like a weight was lifted of her shoulder as she admitted it before she followed them up "But I think I need him" she added before opening the door and being consumed by a blinding white light.</p>
<p>The blonde had stirred awake at the feeling of fingertips against her skin, as her eyes opened she blinked a few times sleepily trying to make sense of where she was and what had happened. After a few blinks the realization set in as her eyes met Orion's and then widened realizing that he was already up and about after everything he had gone through last night "You are going to be the death of me" she meant to speak it sternly though it came across more of a sleepy mumble as she shifted herself to sit up and gathered her bearings. Naturally her eyes turned back to him scanning over his body for key signs of healing and much to her relief, even the deepest of the wounds were looking significantly better than they had before.</p> Orion was well aware he had s…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2018-01-17:6610746:Comment:3035602018-01-17T07:29:02.942Z✓ Orion Valkyrie ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Orion

It wasn’t the first time it had happened but there had been no one there to see it other than Destiny who had pulled him out of it. If you retreated into your own mind you always run the risk of becoming trapped in your own unconscious state and though he didn’t want to deal with the pain, Orion didn’t want to be trapped in what seemed to be a perfect forest either. As he was looking towards his created version of Sariah he heard another familiar voice say his name, it seemed fitting his mind would conjure Destiny now. As he turned in the direction the voice had come from.</p>
<p>He stood as a man now facing his late wife a small smile on his lips, “Why does it not surprise me that I’d see you now?” He inquired feeling an odd fluttering of pain in his heart at the very sight of her kind features as she smiled at him in an almost sympathetic way, “Does this mean I’m closer to death than I’d like to think?” Orion was sure it was merely his subconscious looking for a sense of calm.</p>
<p>“You’re the one who brought me here Orion so you shouldn’t be surprised to see me. You always sought me out when you needed to find peace and comfort. You aren’t dying the silver is already working it’s way through your system.” She stood looking ever like the pillar of strength she had been to him while she was alive. “I think we both know it’s not me who gives you strength anymore. It’s alright Orion, you’re allowed happiness again even if you tend to sabotage yourself with it. You have always been strong for everyone around you and only relied on yourself and your family and you cannot live your life like that.”</p>
<p>Orion knew his mind was only telling him what he needed and wanted to hear. Though he knew if Destiny were able to, she would tell him the same they had only ever wanted the best for one another. He could hear Sariah’s voice tell him he was the strongest person she knew but he was only strong because those he cared about gave him strength, she gave him strength. “You have only ever done what was best for everyone else, as a father, as a husband and now as an Ambassador. You are allowed to do things for you Orion, you just have to stop taking a backseat in your own life. You’re alive, so act like it.” Her voice held that stern edge like when she was trying to get her point across to their kids or trying to get something through his thick skull.</p>
<p>“I miss you everyday but she makes me miss you a little less. You’ve been in my life for so long and it was hard without you, waking up alone, doing everything we once did together, alone. With time it’s gotten easier and maybe I see a lot of the same strength you had in her.” His jaw tightened slightly as he had a mental conversation with his dead wife, “I’m scared to move on Destiny, I’m not sure I know how but I’m trying though I do admit that it took a life and death decision for me to open up to her. That’s never been my strong suit but I think I’m ready to really try, if I can fix what I’ve broken.”</p>
<p>Destiny gave him a kind smile, “You’ve always had a way with words and though you don’t apologize often you know how to, show her the man you are not the man you had to be.” Everything seemed to slowly fade into darkness as the pain began to set in again but it was tolerable. Hazy eyes slowly opened as he blinked a few times trying to become somewhat coherent.</p>
<p><a href="https://media.giphy.com/media/5JaSexAzYMIZG/giphy.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://media.giphy.com/media/5JaSexAzYMIZG/giphy.gif?width=350" width="350" class="align-left"/></a>Dim sunlight was beginning to spill through the curtains of the living room and he knew the sun had recently risen due to the amount of light coming through the curtains. It took a few moments for his eyes to adjust and awareness to return as he stared up at his own ceiling his mind going over the night before. The serum had worked, so at least it was a positive trial, well at least in the way that it worked was positive but it had been a miserable and excruciating experience, but it was also the reason he was able to wake up today. Turning his head he spotted a familiar head of blonde hair sprawled out on the other couch small snores leaving her lips which caused a small smile to pull at his lips. Slowly sitting up on the couch a small wince left his lips at his fragile and healing ribs. Some of the bruising was faded and lesser cuts were just scabs but the broken bones and deeper lacerations around his throat and leg were better but still deep and healing. </p>
<p>Orion watched the sunlight playing across Sariah’s hair and her peaceful face as she slept. If anyone needed and deserved sleep it was Sariah.

But as she looked back at Orion, feeling the pangs of dread rise in her stomach she realized that he had managed to get under her skin without her even knowing it, they had only known one another only a few months and yet she found herself wanting to protect him from the world and a pain in her chest from the very thought of losing him.</p>
<p>She was fighting to hold herself together as her misty eyes started at the screen in front of her trying to make sense of it all, to be able to confirm that he was safe, that he was going to be okay but to her frustration she just couldn't figure it out, the serum was an unknown value in an equation that didn't seem to add up and there was nothing that make Sariah more frustrated than a seemingly impossible puzzle. Tearing her eyes from the screen she tried her best to slow her breathing, she knew her panic wasn't going to make anything better for either of them, nor was it going to instill confidence in the two therianthropes whom she knew were listening in. Sariah didn't need super hearing to know they were both hurting right now and unlike Orion, they had no reason to believe in the choices she had made.</p>
<p>Feeling the vibration in the floor as he convulsed in pain she pressed her hands against the floor before pushing to her feet, it hurt her to see him like this, so much so that she winced a little in response to his movements and from seeing the white in his knuckles that only further solidified her worry for how unbearable it must have been for him. She was about to go full on panic mode and pull out her phone when the shaking stopped and everything quietened, the quickening beeps from the monitor slowed and as she rounded her way to the machine. Her eyes had focused on the temperature ready when he heard her name spoken gently on his lips. </p>
<p>Hesitantly the blonde turned around and moved closer to him pressing her chin gently against the edge of the tub as she watched his glossed over gaze into the distance and realization of what was happening was set in. Slowly she moved to place her hand on top of his "I'm here" she spoke it softly more for her own benefit than anything, part of her was glad that his body had found a way to cope with the pain but the rest of her knew that a state like this would be very dangerous. The steady beeps told her that his vitals were okay which meant now this was an waiting game "You're the strongest person I know" she spoke softly in just above a whisper "If anyone can make it through this it's you" she was reassuring herself, placing her hopes in whatever gods there were up there that he would have enough strength to fight and win this particular battle. </p>

Eventually she raised from her crouched position before she headed out into the hall to explain what had happened to Arwyn and Seraphina and what they could now expect. Sariah was patient with their questions before the three of them decided that he was best moved from the bathroom. </p>
<p>Relocating to the lounge the blonde had ensured that the machine was still wired up correctly before checking the temperature gauge, seeing that it was slowly returning to a normal state. After another hour of sitting and talking to Orion's children they had both passed out from exhaustion in the chairs they were sitting. Sariah took a moment to scan her eyes around the room really taking in the place she was in. Everything smelled the very same warm and earthy smell that she had become familiar to, the room itself was not hugely decorated instead mostly being simplistic but homey. The picture on the mantlepiece of Orion, Arwyn and Seraphina brought a smile to her lips. Sariah didn't have any photos in her apartment, all the ones of her were on display in her mother's hallway.</p>
<p>Curling up on the couch next to the one Orion was laying on she slipped on her glasses and picked up a book that was set face down on the table "I hope you don't mind, but I need a distraction" she admitted as she ran her fingers along the pages finding the page it was left on and scanning her eyes over the words. Despite reading a chapter of the book she never really took in what she was reading as the words started to look as though they were melding together and eventually her eyes closed and the blonde slipped into the depths of sleep.</p> Orion had attempted to laugh…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2018-01-16:6610746:Comment:3033742018-01-16T01:57:03.238Z✓ Orion Valkyrie ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Orion

Violence might not be Sariah’s first response, but it didn’t need to be since her words tended to pack more of a punch than her fists could. Orion would know, since the words they spoke before good bye were not the softest and her point had definitely been made. It was still weighing heavily on his mind and they hadn’t resolved their differences and the unlaying fear remained that they might not over come what came between them, his own actions.</p>
<p>Even with advanced healing he would still be in trouble even if it had started. Alpha healing should work faster even with wounds from another Alpha but the silver was holding up the entire process. One last screw you from Elijah because the man had never been able to win without taking short cuts. Now he was fighting for his life and his only hope of survival was the woman he seemed to be coming to care for. They had both professional and less than professional meetings and she made him laugh and reminded him of the strength of humanity and the good in the world at a time when he deeply needed it. Orion could honestly say that he didn’t want to die, not like this and not in front of Sariah, he still had a lot he wanted to accomplish and do. The faction still needed him and he needed them so he would fight with every ounce of strength he had in order to survive.</p>
<p>Orion would never want Sariah to blame herself for what might happen to him, all she was trying to do was help and she was the only one he knew that might be able to do so. Sure this was far from a lab test and under less than favorable conditions for a trial but Sariah was going to get a very clear, up front and personal view of how the serum worked and hopefully it did work. If not for his own sake than that of his children who had already lost so much and yet remained strong despite it all. Now more than ever he understood why Sariah was upset about his decision because all he could think about was everyone else, Krystal, Harper, his pack, his family, the city and Sariah who was beginning to show cracks in her calm demeanor as the adrenaline seemed to wear off and reality seemed to seep in. When she promised to look out for his kids he felt such relief but it was short lived.</p>
<p>Orion’s mind was yelling for him to focus but his body and mind were at war and he had no control. It was more painfully than his first shift and he swore he felt something like claws break through his fingertips but that was impossible. It had to be the serum which he swore made even his hair feel pain even though there were no pain receptors. Panic seemed to be taking over which had never happened to Orion before. His feet trashing out, kicking at the bottom of the tub the soles of his feet hitting so hard the ceramic was bound to break if he continued. His hands tightening farther on the edge of the tub the circulation to his fingers being cut off as his knuckles turned ghostly white.</p>
<p>The smell of Sariah’s anxiety rising added to his own. He wanted to leap out of the bathtub and just run as far away from civilization as he could, away from some much noise and so many scents. He could hear the cars moving over the road displacing small bits of asphalt, the pounding of House music coming from one of the nearby homes, the scent of the trash downstairs which had the pizza box from dinner last night, the smell of the woods and the turned earth were what finally brought him to a point of focus. Though he couldn’t just stand up and run in his current state he could go to that place in his mind if he held onto that scent.</p>
<p><a href="http://78.media.tumblr.com/31e9802833ae5a33637bc70497bf205e/tumblr_inline_p2ctypQxIk1rifr4k_540.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="http://78.media.tumblr.com/31e9802833ae5a33637bc70497bf205e/tumblr_inline_p2ctypQxIk1rifr4k_540.gif?width=300" width="300" class="align-left"/></a>It was easy enough to imagine himself within the woods which were out his back door, of being in kitsune form his paws thudding against the ground, stirring the scent of damp earth and grass. His feet stopped kicking and his hands loosened their death grip on the tub. It was a familiar sense of freedom and peace that lulled his body into a false state of relaxation. He imagined a breeze kicking up the scent of the fallen leaves and ruffled his fur as he ran easily maneuvering around trees and leaping over the ones which had fallen not long ago due to winter storms. Though the normal scents of the forest he caught another once which was all too familiar to him and never seemed to be too far from his mind these days. “Sariah.” He muttered softly in almost a whisper easily imagining her there in a thick coat, warm hat and gloves since the weather was harsh this time of year. His body fully relaxed in the tub his breathing leveling out and becoming some what shallow instead of heavy. The pain was still there but it was dulled due to his own consciousness taking him to a place which made it easier to handle as he went into a catatonic state.</p> Sariah was doing pretty well…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2018-01-13:6610746:Comment:3033172018-01-13T20:46:07.944Z✓ Sariah Amelie Holloway ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Tria

She knew that if he made it through the night they would talk and all she could do was hope that the talk happened, because if it did then it meant he got to live and that was so much more important than any disagreement she had. "You know me, never been one for solving things with violence, besides I'm pretty sure it'd hurt me more than you" she answered truthfully, if it had been then she was sure that Noel would have gotten far more than a restraining order out of their pathetic excuse for a relationship.</p>
<p>Sariah could tell if it wasn't for the patches and bindings around his body that he would have been dead before she had even got there, she recognized easily that someone else in this household had been in the same situation before. Sariah couldn't even imagine living a life where you constantly had to fear the death of those closest to you and to feel so incredibly helpless as you watched them deteriorate right before your eyes. Except she didn't need to imagine as she looked back at him the fear of the unknown evident in her eyes, if the thought the fear of losing him had been crushing before then she had completely deluded herself.</p>
<p>The blonde allowed a gentle smile to cross her lips as he spoke his compliment, Sariah had dedicated her whole life to trying to make the world a better place for good people in it. Part of her fire came from losing her best friend, part of it came from the number of setbacks and heartbreaks she had lived through "I just hope it'll be enough" she answered allowing some vulnerability slip through her calm demeanor, it was moments like this that could make or break a person and despite his confidence in her and his assurance that it wouldn't be her fault she couldn't stop the feeling of concern that consumed her. Sariah bit down hard of her lip which was trembling, she wasn't going to cry now, she wanted to be strong for him.</p>
<p>She nodded in response to his ask, Sariah wouldn't even think twice about helping them, she knew all too well what it felt to be alone in the world and she would never wish such a feeling on anyone, she knew they'd need her help. "I promise" she answered as she pressed down on the syringe. The moment the item clattered against the floor she pressed her hand against her mouth and backed up a little from the tab to give Orion the space he needed. Her research on the serum had shown that it was the kind that hindered to help, meaning that he was going to have to go through hell and back.</p>

What did that even mean? she questioned in her mind as she scooted closer to the machine glad that it hadn't come loose in his sudden burst of movement. Her eyes were transfixed on the numbers as she considered what each of them meant, his heartrate had increased tenfold and his body temperature had rocketed for a few moments before slowly declining. Panic was attempting to set in for the human ambassador as she looked around from side to side, there was so many unknowns in this equation that she felt hopeless in the realization that all she could really do now is wait for the outcome, either his body wouldn't be able to take the pain and he would die or with the serum's help he would be able to fight long enough for it to stop the poison and he would start to heal.</p>

<p>No one did ever want to go to those meetings, it was still slow going and they were working on building trust between all of the factions. That lead to disagreement and some arguments and strife at times but at the end of the way they had come together for a common purpose. All they had to go was pull together instead of pulling apart. Of course, when most of them only saw one another during such meetings that didn’t get them very far. The Therian Ambassador being closest to both the Nephilim and human Ambassador but that was about it and he knew he needed to branch out but not while he was lying in the bathtub. “Need better food.” He muttered since food would definitely make those meetings better.</p>
<p>Orion didn’t miss the mild humor in her face at his words, it was nice to see a bit of humor even in this dark situation. He knew she was still beyond pissed at him and would be for awhile since this did all just take place in a matter of twenty-four hours. The Kitsune knew how and why he was in this position but he couldn’t argue with the way it had all turned out Elijah was dead, his pack and the city were safe and that was all that mattered. His survival still questionable but despite the fact that he was completely insane and knew going up against Elijah would likely kill him but the risk was worth achieving what he needed to. “Not sure what they saw about slapping a guy lounging in a bathtub though.” Soon enough she would have her chance, if he had the strength to pull through.</p>

It was funny how when you had something to focus on everything seemed dulled and unimportant other than Sariah. Right now she was his center and his solace in this world of pain which had engulfed him, she gave him hope and support and that was all he could ask for in his current state. Orion had been harmed countless times in his life mostly when helping or protecting others and now was no different. What was different was the amount of pain he was in having never been hurt so badly in his life. Broken bones, lacerations, contusions and concussions were all things he had suffered throughout his life but rarely all at the same time. Destiny and Seraphina had always done a pretty good job of packing him up but right now he was beyond needing a few stitches or bandages and needed much more attention.</p>
<p>Listening to the level tone of her voice he gave a small smile since everyone did in deed have a thing and numbers and code were her thing. It was clear she had some sort of reasoning for falling into them and relying so heavily on them whether it was from a lack of a social life or something happening he didn’t know. Sariah’s focus returned to the machine and task as hand and the pain returned full force Orion trying to find something to focus on once more as Sariah spoke but making out the worlds was difficult. So he focused in and listened to her so called irregular heartbeat, Sariah was right if he listened there was a flicker or pause every once in awhile the steady rhythm being interrupted. “You’ve still found a way to help people though, your own way.” It was a very unique way to say the least but it was perfect because it was all hers.</p>
<p>Orion had left so many things unsaid in his past and he didn’t want to continue that pattern. “No…no matter what happens Sariah you did everything that you can. I did this to myself and anything that happens after, you didn’t cause it.” He said giving her whatever reassurance she needed, this situation was brought on by Orion’s need to protect everyone but himself and now he was hoping that she could save him.</p>
<p><a href="http://78.media.tumblr.com/ba238d5ef7ffd89929ec02c83cbee609/tumblr_inline_p2curhspyf1rifr4k_540.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="http://78.media.tumblr.com/ba238d5ef7ffd89929ec02c83cbee609/tumblr_inline_p2curhspyf1rifr4k_540.gif?width=300" width="300" class="align-left"/></a>Orion gave a small nod of understanding since he had already assumed that this wouldn’t be a painless process. He watched her load the syringe and knew the sting would come soon. “Pain I can handle but if….if anything happens take care of them. I know Sera and Arwyn are grown but they still need…need someone to look out for them.” His voice was weak as he spoke before the needle found it’s way into his vein and she pushed down on the plugger the serum going straight into his blood stream. That wasn’t the part he felt though. What the kitsune felt was fire moving through his blood steam as an inhuman roar left his lips, his eyes opening wide a pale green showing with golden yellow around his dark pupils, the eyes of a Ailuranthrope Alpha, not those of a kitsune. The color quickly shifting to a neon green which was natural for his branch of the species.</p>
<p>Dull nails clawed at the edge of the bathtub and everything seemed so loud, he could hear Sariah’s irregular heartbeat, Sera in her room trying to cry as quietly as possible, Arwyn’s surprising steady breathing from outside of the bathroom and it was all just so loud. His sense of smell was also overwhelming him, if it hadn’t been for the fact that everywhere the ice touched was numb he would probably be freezing to death. It was all too much to take in, before there had been pain but it wasn’t overwhelming or over taking him but now he couldn’t focus on any one things and felt like his skin was burning to the touch.</p> Hearing his almost lucid resp…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2018-01-10:6610746:Comment:3028162018-01-10T23:07:03.348Z✓ Sariah Amelie Holloway ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Tria

One of the main affects was delirium to the point where the victim started to no longer be able to separate reality from a dreaming state and if the way he was talking was anything to go by, they really didn't have a lot of time. "I don't think any of us really want to go to them" she answered with a gentle shake of her head, they were for the most part a lot of bickering and far from productive in the human ambassador's eyes.</p>
<p>His next words brought a twitch of a smile to her lips, she had to admit that perhaps the thought had crossed her mind because whenever she thought about how incredibly reckless he had been in the name of protecting others it brought a small amount of fire to mind, furious that he didn't acknowledge the idea that perhaps there were people who cared about him just as much as he cared about them. Now wasn't the time to be angry however so she shrugged it off "I believe there's a saying about kicking someone when they're down" she answered with an semi amused expression.</p>
<p>Sariah had done well so far not to look too closely at each of the individual wounds. One of the reasons she had steered clear from the medical field was because she had never really been able to stomach the look of blood, it brought a sickness to her stomach that she really didn't need right in that moment. The ambassador had instead focused her eyes on the tasks she was completing and on his face, Orion had the kind of face she could get lost in on any other day but today she could see the very strain that everything he was going through was having on him, it made her hurt a little inside knowing there was no way she could take his pain away or make it feel better.</p>
<p>Grabbing his hand had been a reflex, as much for her own sake as his as they attempted to hold one another steady, her eyes met his as he slowly came round from what she knew must have been an agonizing spasm of pain, Sariah knew his tolerance for pain would be much higher than hers considering the small hint of the scars she had seen on his body through their time together. As she released his hand she had started talking, she was talking crap for the most part, anything that came to mind that seemed interesting enough to keep his attention, to keep his mind off the pain. Sariah hadn't realized she was speaking about things she had never really spoke about until the words were already out there.</p>
<p>"Numbers were all I had to keep me sane for a long time" she answered and shrugged gently, focusing on her work had been the very core of her way of coping with everything difficult in her life, Sariah had worked harder and longer than anyone around her and she had excelled and that success had been enough to keep her going. She was working on the machine as his spoke his next words and despite his sincerity there had been a hint of sarcasm in her response "No but having an irregular heartbeat does" she answered without much thought to it, she had been diagnosed not long after her military application had been rejected and since then she had followed her doctor's advice within the lifestyle in order to ensure it didn't affect her life majorly.</p>
<p>Hearing his thoughts about finding your own path Sariah nodded, it was hard to live a life like hers and not agree that there was some point, something big she was meant to achieve. "We do" she repeated back to him with a half smile which covered her concern for the red staining she was starting to see on the ice and that fact he was barely getting a sentence out without wincing. Sariah sucked in a breath as he spoke his next words, the way that he said things like that so easily made her a little jealous, she would always trip over her own self when she tried to say something meaningful. Circling the bath and kneeling just in his eye line the blonde released the breath she hadn't realized she had been holding.</p>
<p>Sariah knew she would never forgive herself if the serum made his condition worse but she also knew that choosing not to use it was going to set his fate into stone. She was quite literally holding onto his words as he spoke, with a slight nod of her head believing what he said, if there was something she could do to save him, she had to try right? Her mind was still whirring through her calculations and thought process as he spoke again, she fell silent as she looked back at him seeing the very definition of safety in his eyes, she didn't need a lie detector to know he was sincere, the look he gave her told her everything, perhaps she had been wrong before. "Okay" she spoke it softly as she picked up the serum from beside her. </p>

"I wish I could tell you this is going to be painless but.." she trailed off and shook her head "It's going to hurt like hell" she admitted and like ripping off a bandaid she reached down to take his arm, focusing her gaze she found a vein before inserting the needle and injecting the liquid into his bloodstream. The moment it was done she pulled it back and placed down the syringe before pressing a hand against her mouth to stop herself from throwing up as she reached forward to grip the edge of the tub with her other hand.</p>
