"I don't know..." Damon replied honestly. He had no idea where they were going, all he knew was that it wasn't somewhere that mutts like him and his brothers went on their own accord. He knew it was dangerous- and he knew most of the time, people who went there didn't come back. After another hour of driving, Damon pulled up into a driveway on the outskirts of town that lead to a mansion that appeared to be decorated roman themed. A man dressed in some blue jeans and a white shirt walked out to greet them. His eyes were brown, his hair a dazzling red. He wasn't what would be considered characteristically handsome, although in the right light, he was attractive. As Damon stopped the car, he instructed for Stephen to wake Colby as he greeted the man with a solid handshake. There relationship appeared to be strictly businesslike, impersonal at best. "Hello, thank you for..aiding us in our time of need." "No problem." Victor said, his voice warm and welcoming. "Anything for Hayven, that boy's the closest thing to a brother I ever had." he said, cracking a wide smile.
As night fell, Aynon signified that they'd better stop for the night. "How much farther until we get there?" Anynon asked Nicholas, glancing at Caryssa worriedly as he set her down on a thicket of blankets. "A few more days." Nicholas said, moving himself as far from Caryssa as he could. "Do we have to bring her with us?" "Yes, unless you'd like to arrive in a body bag." Aynon replied, his voice threatening. "Woa there, you two cool it." Hayven said, attempting to lighten the mood. "Think of this as a camping trip...a really long, drawn out camping trip." he said, digging into the bag and pulling out a can of baked beans. Cracking them open with a pocket knife, he tossed a can to Nicholas and two to Aynon, one for Caryssa and one for his brother, before eating himself. He wished he could shake the gloomy mood he seemed to be in, but the prospect of never seeing Colby again was horrifying to him. Knowing he needed to wake Caryssa up to feed her, he gently shook her in his arms as he opened up a can of baked beans. "Its time for dinner." he said to her gently.

Colby leaned against Stephen weakly, too tired and worried to introduce herself. Stephen nodded to the man, but that was that. She wasn't too sure how to react to this new dude. She wondered how Hayven came to be 'brothers' with this Victor character. They didn't seem to click with each other at all as far as she could tell. Colby was starting to stir a bit more and stood on her own, her hands over her swelling stomach.
Caryssa could hardly open her eyes. She shook her head. She was green. She mumbled something about feeling like throwing up, before crawling out of the blanket and bolting behind a tree- a nosebleed and she did throw up, despite her stomach being empty.

"Well hello there." Victor said, his eyes latching onto Colby the moment she stepped out of the car. "If you'd told me you had a hot chick with you, "I would've cleaned up nicer." he said, licking his lips as he looked Colby up and down. "Hey, she's Hayvens." Damon said, feeling oddly possesive of the pregnant woman for his brothers sake. Hayven had asked him to watch over Colby during his absence, which in his mind meant making sure his territory wans't being invaded, even by someone he considered to be a good friend.
Aynon rushed to her side, helping to support her while she hurled the contents of her stomach. Rubbing her back, he said to her soothingly, "C'mon, you need to get something in that stomach of yours." he said, gently prodding her back towards the blankets.

Colby back away from him, glaring. Her arms tightened protectively around the babies inside her. She had a funny expression on her face, and then a tear cascaded down her cheeks. She could feel them- three of them- inside of her. She wondered how happy Hayven would be to hear that.
She curled up in the blankets, looking smaller than before. She didn't want to eat- she just wanted to sleep and cough and sleep and cough. Caryssa leaned against him, wiping the blood from her nose.

"Whoa, chick. Whats with the waterworks. All I did was say hi." he said, putting his hands up as if to show his innocence. "Just let us get inside." Damon said, leading Colby inside. He would have consoled her if he had been any good at that sort of thing, but now he was just hoping Stephen would take the hint and do the consoling here.
Aynon took a wet washcloth to her face and gently wiped the blood off, nudging her to keep her awake. "Please, Caryssa. You need to eat." he said, begging her. "Please, do this for me." he said, taking a spoonful of baked beans and holding them to her mouth.

Stephen tried to soothe Colby, who simply ignored her as she- like Hayven- lost herself in her thoughts. She started getting a little odd. "I need to get bit by a telepath, and then I need to bite Hayven," she mumbled. Stephen nodded and rubbed her back. "Sure, sweety."
Caryssa managed to eat a few bites, but that was all. She was asleep soon after, leaning against him weakly.

"Here. You two can stay in the same room to keep eachother company." Damon said, knowing Colby needed some company in the state she was in right now. Victor took to leading them to the rooms he had arranged they stay in, although he had decided he'd better keep his mouth shut to prevent another outburst on Colby's part. When Damon was shone his room, his excused himself before closing the door to his room, needing some time alone. "Listen..." Victor said, leaning against the wall and talking in the smoothest voice he could muster." If you ever need someone to talk to or keep you warm at night, I'm here." he said, winking at Colby.

Colby glared at him. "I've got all the company I need," she growled. Her arms around her stomach would indicate that she was referring to her unborn children. "But thank you for the offer. I'm sure Hayven will be happy to hear how hospitable you were for me."

"Hey, I don't see him here right now. You can't have meant that much to him if he left you here, pregnant and all to fend for yourself." he said, laughing. "Don't kid yourself. Hayven's never been the type to settle down, or be content with just one woman for more than a week. Hell, I wouldn't say it'd be a stretch to assume this whole 'journey' thing's just one big ruse to get rid of you." Victor said, laughing. "Right now, he's probably fucking some blonde haired, big boobed chick that doesn't know her left from her right."

Colby felt tears fall down her cheeks, and she growled at him, eyes flashing dangerously at the urge to shift. "He proposed to me...Excuse my rudeness, but get the fuck away from me."

"Down, girl." he laughed, not moving from where he stood. "This is my house, and I'll go wherever the hell I want." he said, obviously not allowing himself to be pushed around by her. Tilting his head to the side, he though about what she'd said, "He proposed to you, huh. .....maybe he was drunk at the time." Victor said, shrugging.

Colby glared at him and ignored him. Stephen was watching the argument and couldn't help but feel angered toward this Victor character. She went and comforted Colby, trying to get her to go to sleep

Shrugging, he managed an indifferent, "Night." before heading downstairs back to his quarters. A few minutes later, Colby's cell phone went off, Hayven's number showing up on her collar I.D.

Colby picked up. "Hello?" she asked in an excited, hopeful voice. Stephen laid down and passed out, exhausted to even try soothing her now.

"Hey love, how are you?" Hayven's voice rung out in a muffled whisper from the other end of the phone. "Hope you haven't fogotten about me yet." he joked, his state of mind instantly at ease just by hearing her voice.
