says to :: Shattered ::+Jade: She bellied up to the Ghost Bar and nodded to her sister. "How are things going, sister? I haven't seen you since shortly after your ex-husband decided to return and beat the living hell out of you, no pun intended. How are you doing? Has he come back?" Quite a few questions for her to be asking, but she'd been a bit worried about her sister, what with Jaden back in town and all. She gestured for the bartender to pour her a Jack and Coke, and sat down on one of the stools. "What's been going on?" She dipped one finger in the liquid in her glass and ran her finger around the rim, making the glass ring with crystal clarity. Annoying, yes, but it helped her nerves.

says to ~Living Dead Girl~Za: She opened her eyes fully for the first time in days, one hand raising to slap over Zahara's. "No." She growled. She looked like a....very elegant...MESS. The dress, the jewelry, everything the hostess should be, but mentally -there-. She had been this way for days now. Ever since Jareth had walked out to do some 'soul seeking'. She couldn't erase the fact that she had last seen him forlorn on the floor of the apartment, his face buried into the couch. "What's been going on? Besides me sleepign with Jaden, hurting Jareth, and pretty much losing it all?" She replied, ripping her hand away from Zahara's, picking up her scotch and downing it with one gulp.

says to :: Shattered ::+Jade: "Wow, all that since I've been out? Sure can't leave you alone anymore," she snorted, taking a sip of her drink. Then, what her sister had said sank in. "Wait. One. God. Damn. Minute. You slept with Jaden? You SLEPT with JADEN?!? After what he did to you?" The last sentence was almost a shriek. "Jade Elizabeth Cromwell. What, pray tell, were you thinking when you pulled that little trick? Are you absolutely fucking INSANE?" She took a deep breath, finished off her drink, and stared her sister in the eye. "You. Talk. Now." she ordered. "I want to hear all of it."

says to ~Living Dead Girl~Za: She stared at Z like she'd grown two more heads or something. "Oh, here we go. Mother Zahara who has NEVER made a mistake in all her miserable years. I slept with Jaden. Alright?I'm not perfect, and I don't need anyone else pointing out. I'm miserable enough." She grumbled. Indeed, she was, too.

says to :: Shattered ::+Jade: "Actually, sister, my life is NOT miserable, because I don't make foolish mistakes like fucking my ex-husband. For that matter, I don't even HAVE an ex-husband. And while I'm anything but perfect, at least I'm not stupid." Only her frustration with her sister prompted her to talk this way. "You should know better, Jade. Honestly, I thought better of you than this. Was Jareth not enough for you? Was he not good enough, that you had to go back to Jaden? What's going on behind those dark eyes of yours, sister?"

says to ~Living Dead Girl~Za: She canted her head sideways to stare at her 'sister'. No words were said for several moments. And for the briefest of minutes, the onyx faded into brilliant blue within the irises of her eyes. Only seconds later, a tear crept down her cheek. The same words that Jareth had said, his questions to be exact. "It doesn't matter anymore." She said, quetly. She wasn't in the mood to argue, thus ignoring the 'fighting words' that Zahara had spoken. "If anyone knows about making the mistake this time, it's me. Alright? How many times this week do I have to admit that? I've said it several times to you, Jareth... and thousands of times to myself. I'M SORRY, OKAY? In all of my 515 years, I've loved enough men to count on ONE hand. And only one have I loved enough to allow access within my mind. Only one have I bit, linking to me. And now...I don't know where he is. Bet you didn't know that, did you?!? I made a mistake, and now he is GONE...." She trailed off, tears now fully streaming down her cheeks. "And I'm not sure he'll ever come back." She finished, quietly.

says to :: Shattered ::+Jade: She saw the flash of blue, the tear, and all her anger and frustration drained away. "I'm sorry, sister. I shouldn't be shouting at you. But, honey, I don't understand. You love Jareth enough to leave us all. And enough to nearly beg me to accept him. I just... don't understand why you would sleep with Jaden. Yes, you love him, but I thought you were working your way past him. I thought you were creating a new life with your Lycan... and he IS good for you. I will give him that. Please, dear, I'm so confused." She waved for another drink, frowning at the 'tender when he didn't jump quick enough. "Dinner," she hissed at him, making him jump right smart. "Please, Jade, I think we need to talk about this."

says to ~Living Dead Girl~Za: " Jaden is one memory after another. Promises broken one after another. I had a weak moment. Z, he thinks I will marry him again. That was the level of my stupidity that night. I know him, better than most, and I know his promises are hollow. The promise that I'll be the only. That we'll be as he once promised me. I fell for it all. Fell victim to those memories. And then it was too late to take it all back. What was done was done. And Jareth knew...the moment he came back. But he stayed...and listened to everything. I just....I think he may leave me for good. He left because he needed time to think, but I think he is going to decide that I'm not worth it, and not return. I can't reach him, he's blocked me out...and I think I'm going to lose my mind..." She raised a shaking hand and tugged it through her ebony locks. " If he turns away, Zahara, I'm going into stasis. For centuries....maybe in that time, my pain will fade. But I don't think in that time, I can erase him from my heart. You don't....you don't understand. My heart doesn't beat. But whenever I lay eyes on him, it feels like it starts beating backwards. I get all breathless. And I don't even need breath! And when I am in his arms...I'm free. For the first time in all these years....the world melts away, the pain of the past...just disappears. And now that it's gone...." She lay her forehead against the bartop. " I don't want to be without him. I sacrificed everything for him, because I love him and believe in him. And in one moment of weakness, I destroyed it." She grew silent. She had once thought her love for Jaden was on that level, but she had never bit him, linked him to her, shown him that side to her. Nor did she feel as bereft when he was gone as she did when Jareth was gone.

says to :: Shattered ::+Jade: "Jade. If Jaden was convincing enough for you to fall for his line... maybe he means it this time. I don't mean to play devil's advocate, but maybe, now that he doesn't need to worry about ruling hell one day, he wants the life he could have had with you. And if you're so sure Jareth isn't coming back..." she stopped, suddenly realizing what she was saying. She didn't even like Jaden... why was she encouraging her sister back to him? She reached out to touch her sister's hand. "Honey... I don't know what I'd do if I were in your situation. You love Jaden still, don't deny it. And you're lost without Jareth. I've not seen you so content as when you're with the were. Please, Jade, if he doesn't come back, don't disappear. I need you. I'm still a youngster. There's so much I need yet to learn, and I'm not sure who else to go to. And... honey... if Jaden means it... what's the harm in finding out? Don't shut him out completely. I wouldn't recommend falling head over heels again, surely, but maybe investigating the possibilities will keep you from insanity?" She sighed and tossed back her drink. "I think I'm losing my own mind, to be encouraging you to have anything to do with Jaden. I'd have to be insane, to let you have anything to do with him, and not kill him for touching you...." she continued to babble into her drink, her words blurred by the Jack, as she eyed her sister over the glass. "Admit it, Jade. We've both fallen off our rockers and hit our heads."

says to ~Living Dead Girl~Za: Her hands came down flat on the bartop, hard. "But I don't -=want=- Jaden. He hurt me enough. A man doesn't change in a matter of a day or two. After what he did....I should've known better. I don't know...I just don't know. Investigate the possibility of what? There are no possibilities. I'd opt to be alone if I didn't love Jareth. I did the moment I met him, and I don't know why. It was just there." She said, quietly. She rose from the barstool, sliding the glass to the bartender. " I'm done for the night, have the numbers sent to me as usual. I'll be at home if anyone needs me." She said, moving past her sister, hand sliding out to pat Zahara on the back. " Time. Just give me time." She said, quietly. Through the crowd she weaved, making her way out into the night. The shadows and cool air hitting her like a ton of bricks. Lonlieness and despair sinking over her. Back to the apartment where she couldn't bear to sleep in the bed, because his scent was so strong there, where everything reminded her of him. How she dreaded being there, where she had made her greatest love, and ended it in one swift choice. Misery. 'Home' was now misery.

says to :: Shattered ::+Jade: She froze and her jaw dropped as her sister's hand touched her back. That was the FIRST time Jade had ever willingly touched her in anything other than anger. By the time she'd picked her jaw back up off the floor, Jade was gone into the night. "Oh. My. God." she murmured. So Jade needed time. Well, time she'd have then, all that Zahara could afford to give her. And, being immortal, that was quite a lot. She could only hope that Jade's heart healed, and that her sister either chose definitely to be single, or that she'd find someone who would let her be her and wouldn't leave her or hurt her anymore. Jade deserved an amazingly wonderful love, and Z would do her damnedest to see that she got it. Jade had gone so long, given so much, to Jaden and Jareth that Z knew of, and who knew about any others? She wanted to see her sister happy, that was all. Truly happy, and truly loved, not used and dropped, not a Porcelain Doll to be left on a shelf and only taken down once in a while to be shown off or played with. Dammit, why had her sister endangered her budidng romance with Jareth? Jaden wasn't worth that. Not at all. She hissed once more at the 'tender, then shoved her way through the club to the outside. She stood for a moment, letting the dim moonlight spill over her dark hair and fair skin, before she pulled herself together enough to walk into the shadows. Not back to the apartment she shared with Jade, but just... away. Unknown location, just for a while, to think alone and to hopefully find something with which she could help Jade. And, perhaps, to find Jareth and talk to him for her sister, to remind the were how much Jade loved him, to tell him that Jade needed him, desperately. And hopefully, to make everything right.
