W_a_t _a_e I D_n_e?

Standing at Gavyn's bed, Dominique looks down at his peaceful features stuck in dormancy as if stuck frozen in time, "What have I done..."

It has been around fifteen days since he has not been able to wake, Sophia hasn't come by once since the time she became enticed by the kiss, he almost had done something horrible to her.

He could feel something watch him from afar, he only feels at fault for every single happening to his happy simple compound; his eyes light up as he witnesses Gavyn raise his arms above his head.

Dominique's hands stamp down, "Gavyn, are you awake?"

"So-ph-ia..."Gavyn whispers, "You...are...so...beautiful..." He remarks, his hands drop to his side as his head turns away, his heart sinks.

"I really did this to you...I ruined your life...hey man I need you more than ever." He pleads, he waits for a response or even a movement to be disappointed, he leaves to bump into Chara.

Chara had been crying, her eyes were red wiping away her tear, "Chara?"

Grabbing her by the shoulders he would find she had a shiner on the right eye, her cheek was starting to form a bruise, "Dominique..."

"They are still going after you Chara?"

"I don't know what to do anymore..."

Dominique sits Chara down on the seat beside Gavyn's beside to peek outside the doorway quickly noting no one was there at all, "Who did this to you?"

"It doesn't matter who did it, Dominique..."

"You are just tolerating this abuse?"

"I am just a maid here..." Chara responds, Dominique rushes to the kitchen to bring her back a bag of ice to place over her eye, he feels completely responsible for what is happening to Chara.

A sudden need to come out with his misdeeds is becoming greater daily, if he speaks up maybe Elijah could save Gavyn to whatever fate Avic has for him.

Assuming right away he is stuck in an illusion hence why he spoke up about Sophia, "Dominique..."

She starts to cry to herself, Dominique shudders watching her press her hands to her face trying her best to stop, "You really don't deserve this Chara...you need to tell Elijah!"

"I don't want to bug Master Elijah."

"But what if something happens to you?"

Chara continues to weep, Dominique squats down to hug her when the door opens to Sophia with the worst look of jealousy on her face trying to haul him from Chara's arms.

"I been looking everywhere for you! You are so mean to spend it here with the maid."

The look of awe on Chara's face made him quickly realize who hurt her, Chara knocks the chair over to stand back far from her; she dashes from the room letting go of the bag of ice," Sophia...did you..."

She softly smiles, "I hate Chara, I only wanted to teach her a lesson..." Sophia spouts pushing Dominique against the bed placing her knees between his legs bringing her hands up to his cheek to kiss him on the lips.

Dominique retracts nudging her away, "You can't be assaulting people Sophia!"

"You really are a stick in the mud lately...I thought you liked me?"

He purses his lips wanting to cry only shaking parting his hands from her back, "This isn't what I wanted Sophia, I can't do this anymore!"

His outburst overwhelms her senses, she dunks down holding her head to scream out digging her nails into her chest, "How dare you...how dare you...how dare you...how dare you..."

In the doorway, Avic is erect only smiling widely at his complete dismay, "There is a drawback."

Everyone in the room becomes petrified, "Drawback, this is a drawback?"

"She is a woman after all and you keep ignoring her attention."

"Avic...this needs to stop, please! She is clearly is losing her mind...she hit Chara!"

"How typical she is becoming."

"She used to be so sweet, so thoughtful now I can't recognize her anymore."

"Tough luck, maybe try actually giving her the love she seeks."

"Please leave!" Dominique shouts, she fades out of sight without saying any more, everything returns to normal; Sophia collapses to the floor.

He bows down placing his head on her chest, "Please go back to normal..." this isn't you Sophia..."

Two twins appear out of nowhere in front of his eyes, they are able to mentally lift his arm drawing his hand up, "We want to give you something new Dominique."

"Our names are Quinn and Quella, we bear you a gift."

Quinn walks over dragging a dagger over his hand, Quella lifts her fingers motioning for the blood to rise, he cries out panicking, "Isn't this magick?"

"You will soon enough learn how to use it, but right now need to endue your body to use it..."

Everything inside his body begins to burn, he feels like he is on fire like his insides twisting in on itself, "Please make it stop!"

"You will be okay once everything has adjusted, just go with it..."Quinn replies scolding him.

Seeing his blood hanging high in the air causes his face to turn pale, "I can't...I can't..."

His body falls on top of Sophia's fainting, "Why did Avic pick this weak-minded man..." Quella asks, Quinn only shrugs.

"He is most likely going to be out at least a couple of days, magick wasn't meant for every body type, he is barely is allowing vampire magick..." Quinn responds.

"He is fighting this to the point Avic is having a hard time herself." Quella states, "Such a waste."

They gawk as the blood crashes down covering Dominique and Sophia, "How was it able to hold that long in the air?" Quinn asks.

"He might be okay after all.."
