Rome looked at China, confused. "Leaving?" he asked, ignoring the smile on his father's face.

She had to hold back her sob.I'm leaving this place.

"All of us?" Rome asked, hoping she didn't mean to leave him.

She shook her head.Just me. Goodbye, Rome.

"What? Why?" Rome asked, stunned. He suddenly snarled and he turned on Aden. "You did this!" he shouted as his eyes finally changed completely to the bright green of a Full-blood spellcastor. "This is your fault!" he snarled. His fists clenched as he took a step towards his father, a look of pure rage on his face.

China appeared behind Rome and pulled him away, pushing him down on the ground in a cloud of dust.He had no part in this. I have made my choice.

The glow of rage dimmed slightly in surprise when Rome found himself looking up at China from the ground. "But why...?" he asked. He couldn't understand why she would want to leave. He thought she loved him.

She knelt down beside him.I can't stay in one place for so long. I need to move.She bent down and looked into his eyes.I don't want you anymore.She muttered, then stood and turned around. She was gone before Rome could say anything. Tears clouded her vision.

Rome's chest clenched painfully at China's words and laid there on the ground in shock. He couldn't believe she was gone. He barely even heard Aden start to laugh and then snap his fingers. The sounds of the two Demons' and then Silva's soft murmuring to Faye didn't even register in his mind.

Faye was beginning to calm down and buried her head in Silva's chest, shivering.

Silva stroked Faye's hair gently and looked around. He saw Rome on the ground and Aden standing nearby, but he couldn't see China.

Aden moved to stand beside Rome, looking down at his son. "Oh get up. Don't be such a baby." he told him cheerfully. He jumped back when Rome's eyes suddenly flashed and then a large black panther stood in his place. "This is your fault! If you hadn't shown up she wouldn't have left me!" Rome's voice roared from the panther's mouth, sounding strangled.

China ran as fast as she could. She had to stay straight to keep herself from turning back.

Faye jumped when Rome turned and gripped Silva tightly. She had seen too much that day and She just needed comfort.

Silva held Faye tightly to him, getting his feet under him as he readied himself to bolt and take Faye with him. "Shh...It's alright." he whispered.

Aden simply smiled at Rome's words and stood still. Suddenly his two Demons launched from his body and wrapped themselves around Rome. They both wrapped around Rome's neck, slowly strangling him. They had orders not to kill him. Rome let out an agonized roar and was about to claw at the two snakes only to find that his legs wouldn't move.

Faye screamed her father's name and tried to scramble over Silva to get to him.

Ayra was at China's side. China turned and told her to go back to watch over Rome, and the tiger obeyed her immediately. Ayra crashed into Aden, snarling viciously.

Silva held Faye tightly, not letting her get anywhere near the two Full-bloods. He stood up and lifted her up with him.

Rome collapsed onto the ground in his human form as his spell was broken. The snakes gave one final squeeze before slithering back to their Master who had jumped back to face the large tiger. Rome's eyes lit up slightly only for his small amount of hope to die when he saw that China had not returned with Ayra. Rome still couldn't move due to what ever spell held him. Aden suddenly started chuckling. He shook his head and waved his hand in front of him and a large blast of air crashed into the tiger. There was a large flash of light and then a young women appeared. She was on her knees and her arms and legs were bound tightly behind her. She was blind folded as well as the large hawk that rested on her shoulder. Her dress was torn in a few places and her light brown hair was a mess. She suddenly let out a frightened whimper through the duct tape over her mouth.

Faye tried desperately to get to her father, struggling against Silva.

Ayra smashed into a tree and fell to the ground, unconscious. China too, fell unconscious where she stood at a large river.

Silva froze at the sight of the bound, young women and his grip on Faye slipped momentarily. It was just enough for her to get away from him. The power he could feel was immense and it was obvious she was a Full-blood.

Faye flung herself at Aden, snarling viciously. She was a new vampire and her power was controlled by the amount of blood she drank, and since she had drank recently she was at her best.

Aden saw Faye leap at him and he quickly reached a hand out to touch the women's neck where she was kneeling at his feet. The women froze and a strangled sounding scream was muffled by the tape over her mouth. A sudden green light formed a dome shaped shield that covered both Aden and the women.

Faye whacked off the dome and leaped up again, trying to tear it apart.

Aden pulled more power from the bound women. He didn't believe in wasting his own strength on things he thought unworthy of it. The shield suddenly expanded, creating a large shock wave that pushed out away from Aden. Silva cried out as the wave hit him. The power barreling into his mind and making him drop to his knees. The two Demon's were similarly affected, but managed to stay standing.

Faye screamed and was pushed flat on her back, losing consiousness immediately.

Aden released the spell for the shield and the women doubled over until her forehead was toughing the ground. Tears fell from under the blind fold and it was obvious the women was in agony. The hawk on her shoulder had no choice but to hop onto the ground when she bent over and was visibly panicking. Its feathers were ruffled and it would have taken off if it weren't for the hood over its head.

Silva watched in horror as Faye was knocked unconscious and barely had to send the command and the request to the two Demons in front of him before they dashed to the girl's side. Senshi planted his hooves squarely over Faye and lowered his head, snorting angrily. He knew there was nothing he could do for his Master at the moment other than to protect his daughter. Thistle stood in front of Senshi, crouching low as she snarled savagely. Silva used the distraction of Aden watching the two Demons protect Faye as his chance to slip up behind the women and cut her bindings with a small silver knife he kept with him as a replacement to his sword. He took off the blind fold and gasped at the bright green eyes that flashed. Aden spun around to face Silva, annoyed. He had been about to cast a spell towards the girl and the Demons when he heard the Half-bloods gasp. He gasped himself when he saw the women tear off the tape over her mouth. He backed up quickly and crouched down, casting a shield over himself as the women stood up with the hawk on her arm. She took the hood off of the hawk and it was obvious from the small star and moon tattoo on the bird's beak that it was a Demon. Her head snapped towards Aden and her eyes were icy. Suddenly she opened her mouth and uttered a piercing shriek that sent Silva to his knees as he covered his ears. The shield around Aden started to crack and before it could shatter he let out a growl of frustration and disappeared in a flash.

Faye lay perfectly still, her breath uneven. The power that Aden had forces directly on her had smashed into her, turning her own power back on herself.

Silva raced to Faye's side the moment the women ended her shriek. He crouched down beside her and ran his hands lightly over her, checking her with his magic. He let out a panicked sound when he realized Aden's magic had messed with her's. The only one who could help her would be a Full-blood and Rome was still weak from being nearly strangled to death. He turned pleading eyes towards the young woman. Without even hesitating the woman made her way over to them. She knelt down and carefully placed the tips of her fingers on one hand against Faye's forehead and then touched her own forehead with her other hand. She closed her eyes and opened the flow of her own magic. She started to mend any damage Aden may have caused. She leaned back once she was done and cut of the flow.
