The Lion Plays Tonight (Open)

[Night Tenjo]

Night sat on the bed and couldn't help the urge to jump the imprinted boy as he told her exactly what she wanted to hear before he asked if she heard what he did. "I thought there wasn't supposed to be anyone here?" She asked realizing he was just as surprised by the sounds.

Then she heard the, "I seriously suggest you don't do that." That worried her and at the same time perked her interest. She watched as Shay got up and started for the door to see what was going on. She got off the bed and reached for his arm when her phone started going off, loudly. Shit! She thought as the annoying "Barbie Girl" song by AquA played, it was Alli's ringtone it just sort of fit with how she looked and acted. I forgot to turn my phone off. She mentally cursed trying to get the phone out and shut it off knowing it was too late whoever was there heard it. She heard scrambling outside the room as she got it to shut off."Shay I'm so sorry...." She whispered.

[Seamus McAllister]

Let me take over.

What?! Shay shoved the masked man away and tried to scramble to his feet, only for the man to tackle him to the ground again.

Let me take over and I can deal with this dolt in seconds.

I don't even know who you are, how the hell am I meant to trust you? And what the bloody hell do you mean take over? He punched the man in the head to try and get him off then was actually able to get back on his feet and kick the man in the stomach. The masked man growled and pulled a knife out and lunged towards Shay, who was barely able to dodge out of the way in time.

The whisper became a voice. Let me take control of you. If you don't, this may not go well for you.

Like hell I'm letting take control of me! I don't even know who you are!

Oi, Scotty, either you let me take control or you'll have one more hole in you than you started with when you woke up. I'll explain later.

Fine, how do I let you take control?

Like that.

Shay felt like he took a backseat as whatever was inside of him started to control his limbs. Even though he couldn't see it, the young werecat's eyes had turned a deep gold colour and down his right arm was a black tattoo that depicted a long spiralling serpent coiled around his arm. As soon as he was in control, the entity raised Seamus' arm towards the robber and suddenly the man was pinned to the wall. "Now," it said in a voice that definitely wasn't Seamus', "what should I do with you? You break into this home, try to steal from someone who you don't even know then threaten that same person with a knife. Please, explain to me why you deserve to live."

"Oh god, please! Don't kill me!"

The entity smirked. "If only you knew the irony in those words." It let go of the thief. "Now leave, before I change my mind."

The man ran quicker than Usain Bolt in a 100 metre sprint, causing the smirk to grow wider. What's the girl you brought home called?

I'm sorry, but did you just pin that guy up against that wall without even touching him?

The girl. What's she called? She's going to be worried sick and I don't want her flying into a panic.

Night. Her name's Night.

"Night, you may want to come out here." The entity called into Shay's room.

Oh yeah, like that isn't going to worry her.

[Night Tenjo]

Night could hear everything that was going on away from the room and began getting a little worried when she heard a new voice that sounded like Shay's but at the same time sounded nothing like Shay. She heard someone say, "Oh god, please! Don't kill me!" And she was relieved it wasn't Shay saying it but at the same time she was starting to worry. There was a creepy voice where Shay's should've been and now one of the intruders were begging for their life. Surely Shay wouldn't kill someone, would he? She thought terrified at her many disturbing thoughts. What is going on? She was afraid not for herself but for Seamus.

Night's thoughts hadn't fallen into the whole of "if Shay would kill a simple robber, what would happen to me if he were to be mad at me?" Who knows why she hadn't thought of that yet. Possibilities included Night's pretty kick ass in fighting, if things went too far Yami would take over and kill and she was more worried for him than herself at the time.

"Night, you may want to come out here." She hear the eerie voice calling her. Reluctantly, worriedly, Night followed the voice and when she saw Shay with barely any bruises she was so relieved about him being safe she ran to embrace him. The streak haired vampyre wrapped her arms around his neck and held him close. But something was off, his body somehow felt different. "Shay? Are you ok?" She asked trying to hide her worry.

[Seamus McAllister]

The entity hugged Night and asked Seamus through thought, Anything you want me to do?

Reassure her? I think she's about as worried as we thought she would be.

"Yeah, we'r- I'm fine. Just..."

Shaken?

"Shaken." Hold on, can't you two hear each other's thoughts?

Yeah, what about it?

I wonder if she can hear mine. Hmm... "Listen, I'm going to go lie down for a bit. Try and calm down after this whole incident. Wanna join me?"[/color]

Smooth.

You're welcome.

The entity in Seamus' body held Night's hand as he led her back through into the werecat's room.

Why are we lying down? Asked Shay.

Because when I give back control to you, you're going to be unconscious for a few seconds. Wouldn't want you standing up for that, would we?

Guess not.

The entity sat down on the edge of the bed then pulled the Vampyre girl towards him and sat her sideways on his lap before kissing her on the cheek. Wow. "Listen, I'm going to try and catch some sleep. You want to stay there or get somewhere a bit more comfy?" Without waiting for a reply, it laid back and rested Shay's head against the wall before closing his eyes.

This may feel weird.

Really? I barely noticed when you took over.

Suddenly Seamus felt that he was back in control, but resisted the temptation to start moving around like mad to try and keep the ruse him and whoever-he-was had going believable. Instead, he enjoyed the fact that Night seemed to be drawing closer to him both physically and emotionally. Thank you, disembodied voice in my head.

[Night Tenjo]

Night's body shivered as it seemed Shay was himself but she couldn't feel him, the real Shay. It was strange to her, and right at this moment she couldn't hear anything through their imprint not that she'd want to invade but she needed some comfort that it was really him. Especially with him trying so hard to reassure her. "Yeah, we'r- I'm fine. Just..." It was the difference between we and i that caught her attention but with what was going on she could've misheard him or the action caused a mistake in his speech, so she disregarded it.

Then he started leading her back to the room wanting to catch some sleep. Something just doesn't feel right with Shay... She thought following him into the room. Things were even stranger as he pulled her onto his lap and kissed her. It felt strange and foreign like it wasn't the loving gentle caress of lips he usually gave. The small kiss felt obligated not willing, not true.

But then she started feeling the warmth of the real Seamus come back to surface as he started leaning back against the wall his bed was up against. Night changed her position from sitting sideways on Shay's lap to sitting next to him, pulling him closer, grabbing his shoulders and pulling him to her chest as she leaned backward onto the small pile of pillows. With Shay rested on her chest, head against her breasts as a pillow unlike earlier that night when she was on top and smothered him with them. "I hope you're feeling better, Shay. And thanks for dealing with the intruders so bravely." She said trying not to think about how he had acted and felt a moment ago.

[Seamus McAllister]

Seamus half-opened his eyes and looked up at Night before saying in a faked sleepy tone, "You're welcome. I'm just glad neither of us were hurt." Whoops.

What?

I may have just referred to you.

Not that she kno- and she can hear your thoughts, right?

Yup.

It swore in a language Shay didn't understand then went silent again. The werecat sat up next to Night, wrapped an arm around her shoulders then asked, "Did you notice anything... Weird about me before?" He asked because, physically, he had truly no clue whether or not that when the entity possessed him anything changed about him physically.

Well done, Captain Subtle. Would you like me to smash her in the face with a sledgehammer then ask her if it hurts next?

Shut it, you telekinetic bastard.

Did I mention the Hel Fire?

No you didn't.

Oh good. It'll be a surprise then.

"So, Night," he continued, "Have you ever heard of anything... possessing a person? And I mean anything, anything at all. Whether it be a magical being or a cat, do you know anything about possession? I only ask because Derren was asking about it before and I was just wondering if you knew."

[Night Tenjo]

She mentally sighed not sure if honesty would be best right now. However it was the best policy right? Especially with their imprint in mind, though it wasn't entirely developed or really as strong as it could be. "You seemed different..." She whispered hesitantly. "Cold, distant... I mean we only just met a few hours ago and even though we've imprinted I can't say i know anything about you other than you feel so warm to me, so open and comforting... but a few moments ago you felt strange." She tried snuggling up to Shay, enjoying the warmth that radiated from him. "My family is... was very knowledgeable. Possessions aren't foreign to what I've read or what my families known of in the past." She thought something else was up and found it best to let him tell her on his own. She wouldn't want to pry since she'd hoped she would have plenty of time to find out things about him. She didn't want to rush and risk ruining this odd but wonderful event of meeting and imprinting with this Scottish werecat fledgeling who was Seamus McAlister. Night thought feeling drowsy, and cozy in Shay's arms. "The sun is starting to come up... we should get some sleep..." She said as her eyes got heavier and she yawned.

[Seamus McAllister]

"But did you see anything?" Seamus asked. "Anything different, anything strange?" He sighed, knowing how he must have sounded, then pulled Night closer and said, "You know what, that sounds like a brilliant idea." He let Night snuggle closer to him, secretly glad of the warmness and comfort she offered (which was obviously shared by her) and let himself relax a lot more than he already was. He leant back against his pillows then laid Night down on the bed before pulling a thin sheet over then laid down next to her. The werecat pulled the girl closer then asked in a whispered voice, "So, what do you think to a date sometime?"

Smooth.

Go bollock yourself. You nearly made her leave me.

You've barely known her for a few hours.

Still, if it wasn't for her you wouldn't have someone to jump into.

I know, but I don't trust her.

I've known her for longer than I've known you, why the hell should I trust you?

Because she didn't pin a robber against a wall.

If anything, I should trust you less for that. It only proves that you're incredibly dangerous.

Well, you'll just have to take a chance, won't you?

[Night Tenjo]

"Love to..." She whispered as she slowly fell asleep in Shay's arms as she started to hope she could sometime again after tonight. He's so warm and wonderful... It's weird for me to want to be so close to someone like this and so easily. She thought sleepily falling into subconsciousness. The shadows engulfed her as the sunlight tried to shine through the blinds of Shay's room. She felt the slight warmth of the light but it was nothing compared to what Shay was radiating and it was nice. To be held, to be so close to someone who made her feel... so loved. Loved? She wondered half conscious in the shadows as the darkness started to shift. In the black nothingness a silver light started to form a circle, a wide parameter around her. Once the circle formed it shot up and became a wall that glowed, dimmed and became a strong wall. One that even Nyx couldn't get through or at least without great difficulty. The inside of the walls the ones facing Night became mirrors all around her. But only the one directly in front of her had any reflection the rest were dark. The reflection was her spitting image only the hair of her doppelganger was solid black. The raven haired image was all too familiar. "Yami..."

"Night..."

[Seamus McAllister]

Seamus smiled tiredly then pulled Night closer to him before nuzzling his head into the back of her neck. He enjoyed the warmth she offered and the fact that she seemed to be doing the same with him when he heard her whisper something but couldn't quite hear what she said. Pushing out of his mind for the moment then said to the girl, "G'night, love." Before falling asleep.

The water swirled and tumbled around him as the North Sea smashed it's waves across the young boy's body, sending in every direction apart from towards his father. The 2-year old was panicking, sucking in lungfuls of salt water and not even a bit of air. He wasn't sure if the stinging in his eyes was from crying or whether it was the sea battering his eyes. As he saw the dark edges starting to impede on his vision, the boy felt a pair of strong arms wrap around him before his next breath was one filled with the sweet taste of oxygen. The first voice he heard was his father's saying, "Oh my God, Will! I thought we'd lost you." The boy was pulled closer to his father's chest as he sobbed from weakened eyes.

The two year-old suddenly his mother above him who seemed to be crying as much as he was. She cradled the child in her arms and started whispering to him, "Shh, it's okay now, Will. Mum's got you."
