(Tell me in the WCBL pm, I'm very curious now)

There is one

 

[Cluckcluck1215]

There is one

(Just with River, Kate and I. For plot stuff)

 

[RiverStorm]

Freddie ignored the rest of the commotion, with River, Alice, and Camilla there it was time to tell them. He took a breath, and slowly and clearly told them. "Earlier today someone broke into your house." He paused to swallow. "Both your mother and father were killed." He was silent letting what he said sink in.

"Our," Alice glanced over at Camilla, "mom. I know." She whispered.

Ash had followed the little group, having been unable to respond to River before the officer had interrupted with his presence. She was wholly alarmed now.
The flagitious pieces to her worst nightmare were falling into place with every new aspect of this whole situation.
Bleddyn's distress, River's grief, the whole atmosphere of sorrow, the law being involved- no matter how much she wanted to deny it, it all added up to something much more grave than what she'd been enlightened of so far.

At the policeman's latest words, her facial features fell.
First it was her mouth, which crumpled into a disbelieving little frown.
Then the constant sparkle in her eyes died.
And her face just collapsed.

“You’re…you’re saying…Thomas….and Tayn…they’re…they’re…both...gone.”

It was as if she was hearing her own voice from many miles away.

Alice looked over at Ash, "No, it's just mom. Isn't it?" She looked back to the police officer. Surely it was just her mom, their dad was away at work. It couldn't be him. Maybe one of those guys had been killed. "It can't be dad too."

"Your mother's gone?" Ash echoed faintly, the words leaving horrible acrid tastes in her mouth. Her arms dropped limply and she stumbled back a few steps until she was supported by a couch. "Tayn's gone?"

Frankie gently put his hand on Alice's elbow, "No, it's both of them. I'm sure. It is both. I'm sorry."

Jenna stared in horror and shock. "I-I am so sorry." She said, looking around the room. "How- how did they die?"

River stared at him, her head cocked slightly, as though not understanding-- Or not hearing, him. Then realization hit her like the bulk of a train.
Her sharp blue orbs of eyes had focused on him until now, just having dropped away to the floor to stare at nothing dully. "What."
No. No, no, no. It was just Tayn. Not Thomas. Thomas is at work, safe-- Alive with Zen. He's fine.
Rain drop like tears were forming in her eyes, however much she tried to fight them back. "N... No."
Thomas couldn't be dead, she'd sworn to protect her silly little brother, so he couldn't be dead, right? I didn't know. I didn't get a chance to help him... I wasn't there for him.
Guess I let you down, Tommy. I'm so, so sorry that I wasn't there for you.
Could I have saved them?
Her head suddenly seemed to go limp on her body, lolling down to stare at the ground in... Shame? Sadness? Agony?
Her ears twitched, going forward and backward as conflicted emotions battered her body, her tail wrapping around her own leg protectively as dark brown hair that was slick with sweat and blood slid down around her face, hiding the tears that were forming.
Pathetic.
She looked utterly pathetic.
In her own shock, she hardly noticed Camilla's cries, nor the sharp gasps coming from the surrounding people.

Unlike River, Camilla hardly took a second to process it all.
Not just Mom... Dad too... No. Why? Her body broke out into violent shivers, racking her body with such ferocity that she stumbled back.
Her silver eyes raced from person to person, begging for someone to meet her gaze.
She turned sharply, facing River. "They can't be..." The last word alluded her, but she didn't need to say it. Tell me it's not true. Say it's not true right now.
As River didn't even notice her, too lost in her own dark thoughts, Camilla edged back, her eyes turning to Ash beggingly. But she quietly knew Ash could give her no such comfort, because deep down, she knew that the deputy was right.
Suddenly afraid of standing, she collapsed into the nearest couch and hiding her face in its cushions, trying to silence the whimpers escaping from her throat as a sudden realization hit her.
She was an orphan now.

Lachlan could barely make out the words that came from the deputy's mouth. Aunt Tayn and Uncle Thomas? Just, dead? Who... The Pure? He took a shaky step forward, then another, until he was out of the kitchen and standing in the living room in-front on the couch that Camilla had sank into.
He slowly sat down, placing a calming hand on Camilla's shoulder, barely stopping himself from jumping back as he felt how hard she was shaking. "Camilla I... I'm truly sorry."

Finlay could only trifle a yelp of shock, staring dumbly at the others. What the, how are they just dead? Who killed them? As Lachlan stumbled forward, taking action in comforting Camilla, he also walked forward, though he had more stability than his twin.
He stopped directly behind River and Alice, fidgeting with his shirt and deciding to stay silent, giving only his presence as reassurance.

Jenna looked around. The room was full of an overwhelming amount of shock, misery, confusion, and pain. She didn't know what to do, or what to say. She felt useless as she looked at all the faces of the mourning people. "I- words cannot express how sorry I am, no one should have to go through loosing someone as sudden as this. Tayn and Thomas were wonderful Friends and family." Jenna said.

Over the rushing water, Wolfram heard the faintest, yet clearest voice. They're both dead. I'm sure of it. Then another voice broke through, sending a violent shiver through his body.
Camilla, I...I'm truly sorry.
Lachlan.
And....Camilla, violent sobs gripping the red-headed girls body.
She just lost her mother....No...who else? Who is they? Is Alice alright? Where is she? I swear....if someone else died at the hands of the Pure.....I'm going to loose it.
Another voice echoed in his ears, this time louder then the others.
Tayn and Thomas where wonderful friends and family.
His eyes widened even more, knuckles turning white as he gripped the counter harder, the sink holding half his weight. 'Uncle Thomas lost his wife...Alice and Camilla lost a mother.' Bleddyn's words hid him like a smack to the face, and the realization hit him...
Thomas was dead to, and he was Tayn's wife.
Tayn was Alice and Camilla's mother, which meant...
Alice and Camilla where orphans.
It struck him hard, hitting home harder then he wanted it to. A sob threatened to spill over at the thought of two people becoming orphans because of some blood-thirsty freaks. He forced it down, bottling his emotions, the sound of running water jerking him out of his thoughts.

(Kate if you make me cry...)

(you're not supposed to make me cry either. )

Jenna stared in horror and shock. "I-I am so sorry." She said, looking around the room. "How- how did they die?"

Freddie waited for it to sink in before he said anything more. "Their house was broken into, there was a gun involved." He didn't want to get into specifics right now, but he had to get information if he could. "It seems like some of you know something about it. Did any of you see who broke in to the Fleur house? Or do you know what they were looking for?"

"That is horrible. No, I was not aware of what happened until now." Jenna said. She looked around at the others.

 

[Rose Quartz]

Alice's heart sank, both? It couldn't be both. She hadn't seen him there. He couldn't have been home, he was at work. But she had forgotten her mom, maybe there were still holes in her memory from what ever that drug was. Could her dad really be gone? She'd yelled at him yesterday morning. Was that the last thing she would ever say to him? She'd give anything to change what she'd said yesterday. Any of it all of it. Why had she been so awful?

Freddie waited for it to sink in before he said anything more. "Their house was broken into, there was a gun involved." He didn't want to get into specifics right now, but he had to get information if he could. "It seems like some of you know something about it. Did any of you see who broke in to the Fleur house? Or do you know what they were looking for?"

"I was there." Alice whispered. "My dad wasn't.... I'm sure he wasn't." There's no way dad would let them hurt mom. It wasn't possible! "There's no way they'd be able to get past his powers. He's fine. He has to be fine."

////

"You were there?" Freddie squeezed his eyes shut swallowing down the dread that was rising in his stomach. One of their kids had been there. He took an apprehensive breath. "Can you tell me what happened?"


////

Alice didn't want to say anything, what if she remembered something new? She stood there mouth hanging open, her shallow breath sounded too loud. She felt everyone's eye on her, judging, accusing. She should have been able to save them.

"M-my..." frowned and shook her head gently, trying to clear the fog that was creeping in. "I went upstairs, and.... there were guys dressed in black, with... scarves? on. I could only see their eyes." Alice put a hand on the counter to steady herself, the memory of the guy's bright blue eyes burning into her set the room was spinning. "They, they, had mom, I- I tried to," she was panting, her stomach feeling tight again. "I tried to heal her, but it didn't work. It didn't work!" She collapsed her knees crashing hard onto the tile.

Freddie tried to catch her, but he hadn't been ready for it. He crouched down next to her a hand on each of her shoulders, while she cried. "I'm so sorry." He whispered tears coming to his eyes. "I'm sorry."
