Doms sat silently on the edge of the lake. He stared listlessly into the center of the lake.You've failed again. You failed to protect Sabre, just like to failed to those animals from the poachers all those years ago.
Dom lets out a long sigh. You know who has Sabre. He has tricked you before with his spirits. What is to say he didn't have one follow you? There was only one other person who knew where the body was put, and she was with you the entire time after putting the body in that lake.
The water begin to splash against the rock Dom is sitting on, eventually splashing up onto his shoes. You know you won't be able to face Alayna until you get Sabre back. He is your nephew after, and you did promise to protect them BOTH!
"I was trying to protect him." He says quietly to himself. You could have avoided this if you had just stayed with the body. "But then they would have known it was me. Then you should have just killed him. You know that JT would have just as likely Cross. You know that is why he was standing there behind Cross.

"Dont blame yourself, plane's were in place long before the gathering took place. Sabre will be fine, as of right now he well have to pay a high cost for his actions...though Cross could have lessoned it is he knew what he was doing. Relax child, Sabre will return to you with little to no trouble...that is as long as you will take him back."
Reply by William J Little on August 10, 2009 at 3:09pm Delete Dom looked back over his shoulder seeing Stan. He tenses up, not sure what will happen next. "My concern is that He and Alayna won't take me back. I wanted to take Sabre as soon as he was staked. Then go some place safe and unstake him."
Dom turns back to the lake, and begins staring back out to where he had put Sabre. "So was the death part of the plan?"
Reply by Luke Hentges on August 10, 2009 at 4:08pm Delete Stan will walk up and sit down, kicking his shoes off and putting his feet in the water.
"I never plan to kill anyone except those of the Sabbot. Death often causes little benifit and causes more problems than it solves. Don't get me wrong, the beast within drives us to great evils. Death is sometimes the only answer, but not one that should be taken lightly. The death of Cici was not planed or even forseen. That is something that Sabre took upon himself. Yes he was involved in the plans of the night no less than the others of your family, but his actions pushed him into the spotlight. Unfortunently I can't tell you were this is going to end as I don't know myself."
Stan will just sit their looking up at the stars and moon.
"Sometimes I miss the country, back when things were simple."
Reply by William J Little on August 10, 2009 at 9:22pm Delete Dom lays back on the rock. "So if you don't plan on killing those of us whom have taken on the leadership of the city, what are you planning on doing?"
He looks over at the man there next to him. "I'm just trying to make sure my promises are fulfilled. Because I'm sure you don't appreciate having your place taken in your absense. I will apologize on my behalf. But I'm sure you know my position in it and probably why I did it."
Dom looks back to the sky. There are so many things I do not understand about these animals known as man.
Reply by Luke Hentges on August 11, 2009 at 7:58am Delete Stan will smile up at the stars.
"I have no plans as of right now. The future as the saying goes is a doubius thing. I have yet to peice everything together from the other night. As for what and why you did what you did I do not know as I am not in your head to know what you are thinking. Perhaps you may be able to sway the path I walk."
He will look at Dom were he lays.
"Tell me what you will of the events of that night."
Reply by William J Little on August 11, 2009 at 12:22pm Delete "Typically I keep to myself. But I saw this as a way to secure myself within the city. I am in no way political." Dom closes his eyes for a moment.
"To be honest the only reason I supported Cross was because He was offering me that security, and we have a certain amount of trust after dealing with the former head of Cross's clan."
He props himself up on his elbows. "Several people in the city backed him because they believe you are puppet of Constantino's and his family." Dom thinks for a moment. "That pretty much sums it up."
Reply by Luke Hentges on August 11, 2009 at 7:37pm Delete Stan will through back his head as he laughs hysterically for a moment.
“Oh that is good! Let me guess the story Cross told you. The Elysium and the ability to use powers was because Constantino wanted it. I imagine that Cross neglected to mention that the Gio’s wanted him for his actions against Kirsi. The Elysium was to make them ‘forget’ that, and the abilities were to prevent the loss of business thereby appeasing them.”
Stan will look down at the ripples in the water.
“The problem is that Cross only see’s what will benefit him. He is not prepared to do what it takes to secure this city. His betrayal of Sabre is the most noted example. The path of least resistance is his path. He did not look to see the future effects of those actions. But if you and the city want to support Cross…so be it.”
Stan will stand and put his shoes back on. He looks down at Dom and smiles.
“Two things before I do. One is that you need to find out who owns Crosses life…being as he claims I am under someone’s control I will air his dirty laundry. Second is to be weary if your family starts talking of hunting Kirsi…that is a sign that bigger things are coming.”
Stan will look around the area.
“Hum…I have tired of this place, if you wish to talk further let us walk.”
Stan will start walking off slow enough that if Dom wants to catch up he can but fast enough to leave the man to his thoughts.
Reply by William J Little on August 11, 2009 at 9:17pm Delete Dom lays on the rock just staring up at the stars taking in everything he has learned. Eventually Stan disappears into the distance. Dom forces all the air out of his lungs. "This is the reason I stay out of the political scene." He thumps his head on the rock.
