The secret.

[Payne Blackwood-Corbin]

Laughs. "Whore? Please. I'm sure that you were in Priest's lap as well as everyone else. And I could care less if he has someone new. I feel sorry for whoever it is. And if you think that you or Priest is going to get your hands on this child, it will be over my dead body. And that isn't likely to happen anytime soon. Now, I believe you were asked to leave. Do you need me to show you the door?"

[CelineBlackCross]

::She stopped and shook her head. Oh this was too good to pass up. Turning around, she leaned against the door frame:: Not that it is any of your buisness, I was never his lapdog. Unlike some others I know, I was able to keep my legs closed when it came to him. Second off all vampires can be killed dearie. Third, Tempest knows what will happen if she does not produce the child. And last but not least I am already at the door and was going to take my leave. Apparently you were to stupid to pay attention. ::Turning back around, she walked out into the night, the soft chant being called out to those who were near by::

[Payne Blackwood-Corbin]

Of course she knew that Vampires could be killed. Duh. What a stupid retort. As the woman leaves, she lifts her hands and wiggles her fingers. "Oooooo. I'm scared." Then walks over and kicks the door shut behind the bitch. Turning around, she crosses her arms and looks at Tempest. "Alright, what did I just get myself into for you? Why is this bitch so hell bent on having your kid? What aren't you telling me?" Raises a brow as a long black fingernail traces down her own arm, digging in slightly, drawing her own blood out of anger and frustration.

[Tempest]

::She sighed:: Can you at least wait til I put him back down? ::She cuddled him to her and walked into her room and put him back in his crib. Even though he did not break his fast, he fell back asleep instantly. To much excitment for him. Grabbing her robe, she put it on and tied it at her waist as she walked back into the living room. Seeing Payne cut open her forearm, she shook her head and sat on the sofa:: Try not to bleed on the carpet. And the reason they want him so bad is because he is of a new blood line. There has been so much inbreeding in that clan, half of the children are insane or twisted or both and the other half don't make it past five. That is the only thing I can think of. That and it would be a way to bring me back. Priest left me the castle but I think they are after the money. The thing is there is no money. He spent it all. As did a few others. Like Draven. ::She picked at a nail and then finally settled her gaze on Payne:: The thing is I think they know I am rich and they want my money and Cambridge. Think about it. New blood and money. What more could they want? The thing is they will never get him. I won't allow it. I have to leave. Find someplace else to live. ::She groaned:: I would love to know how they found me. So you tell me. Now what?

[Payne Blackwood-Corbin]

Being told not to get blood on the carpet, she looks down at her arm. "Oh, sorry." Licking her own blood off her finger, she then lifts her arm to lick the wound clean as well, then she heals herself. "Old habit." As Tempest babbled on about how she thought the clan was after her money as well Cambridge, she plops herself down into one of the cushy chairs in the main room, crossing her legs over the arm of the chair as she leans backward over the other arm to look at her cousin upside down. "You know, there is this little village just outside of a kingdom I know." Not saying any names since there could ears any and everywhere. "We can blend. We've done it before." She makes a silly grin at her, swinging her crossed feet. "As for the clan, and Priest and Draven, they can all rot. It's not my fault that they were stupid enough to inbreed a bunch of psycho babies. Their idea of family is even more twisted than ours. I hope that bastard and all his sons rot in whatever holes they lie in during the day. Shmucks." As she unleashes her anger about the clan, she's managed to rip open her arm again without noticing. It certainly was a nasty unconscious habit she had. Then again, we could blame Priest for that one too.

[Tempest]

I know its an old habit. I was trying to lighten the mood. My bad. ::She watched Payne make her self comfy and gave a small smile. Payne always leaned over the back of the chair. Tempest thought maybe it helped her think better with all the blood rushing to her head. She giggled and then sobered up.:: Where exactly is this village and how secluded is it? Will people start asking questions? And as for the clan I wish they would all rot. Draven is just as twisted as his father. And the freaky thing is Flynn finding me again. And we both know psycho does not even begin to cover it. And I never thought we were twisted. Just different. ::She grinned:: And stop that. Or I swear I will cut off all your fricken nails.

[Payne Blackwood-Corbin]

"Oops. Sorry." She pulls her hand away from her and cleans herself again, almost in a grooming manner. However, she remains upside down cuz she knows it makes Tempest laugh. "Yes the villiage is secluded. And no, I don't think that they will ask questions. You've probably heard of it, but I'm not saying it outloud. I'm not stupid." Glances around the room, then over at the window and back. Then she blinks in a delayed reaction. "Flynn? When? Where??" A low gutteral growl at the name. "I'll kill him."

[Tempest]

Don't apologize. Oh god you look like the cat that ate the canary when you do that. And breath. He is not here. I was making a statement. I don't want that bastard finding me. Now that I have Cambridge things are different. He would use him to get back at me for leaving him. You know he will never forgive me. Not that I give a rats ass. I only care about two things right now. ::A loud scream could be heard from her room and she winced as she looked at Payne:: I am thinking he wants his breakfast now. ::She grinned::

[Payne Blackwood-Corbin]

Winces at the scream then raises a brow. "Ya think? Damn. Kid has a set of lungs." As Tempest walks into the bedroom to tend to Cambridge, she stays in the chair. However, the moment Tempest was out of view, her demeanor changed. Memories flooding back, washing over her harshly of the child she once carried then lost. Staver's child. She sits up in the chair with a blank look. By the time Tempest comes back out, she would find her cousin with her head in her hands.

[Tempest]

::Walking into her room, she winces again as he screams. Picking him up, she takes him into the bathroom to change him. Talking to him as she does this, a wave of sadness washes over her. Not sure why, she picks him up, props him on her hip and walks back into the main part of the house. Seeing Payne with her head in her hands, she kneels in front of her.:: What's wrong? You fine a moment ago. ::Cambridge by this time has a fistfull of Tempest's hair and is staring blankly at Payne. Just like his mother, he cants his head to one side and then lays his head on Tempest's shoulder. Both of them looking to Payne for answers::
