Room 205

[Alavda Noir]

Alavda reentered the room just when Belle was telling Nate something, "Dakota's on his way with Neah," she told Nate right before she noticed that Belle was awake.

"Belle! You're awake. Dieu merci..." she was at the other side of the hospital bed in a flash, "How're you feeling?"

[Dakota Neloe]

Dakota let go of the two once he saw the hospital in sight and rushed over to ask what room Annabelle was in. "205...gottcha.." He said as he ran towards said room. Once he got there he slightly slide when he got to the door, but reached for the door frame and caught himself. He then looked in to see Belle had woken up and sighed in relief.

"Oh thank GOD you are ok...and good to see you are ok too Cuz...Neah is on here way..and so is Elliot Ala...and don't worry Nate, Neah can't REALLY get hurt in a hospital.." He said then walked up to Belle and smiled. "Next time...forewarn us of your crazy antics..." He said and looked over at Nate.

"So....how are you holding up? Same to you Ala." He asked while he waited for the other two to come in as well.

[Nate Brightmore]

Nate straightened up completely when Alavda entered the room. He tried to push most emotion from his expression. He still held onto Annabelle's hand though, and every once in a while, he let his thumb brush over her fingers.

He was kind of surprised when Dakota walked into the room and said that he brought Neah and Elliot with him. He was about to say that he didn't worry that much about his twin, but he stopped himself.

He ran his fingers through his hair before answering Dakota regarding how he was holding up. "Everything is going to be fine. I'm okay.. they could be better, but they could also be worse." He said. His body was really tense, but it seemed to relax as soon as Neah walked into the room.

Neah smiled at Alavda, then reached down and patted Annabelle's hand before she took her place beside her brother, leaning up to give him a kiss on the cheek. "How are you holding up Belle?" She asked her friend.

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle grinned when she felt that Nate was still holding her head. Then, just by taking a blink, Elliot, Dakota, Neah, and Alavda were in the room. She blinked a few more time then smiled at both Neah and Ala.

"Well Ala, I've been better...but I have been worse as Nate said..and to your question Neah, I'm getting better by the second...sorry I look so awful..." She said towards Neah and then looked at Dakota and smiled.

"Alright, I'll try to remember that..."

Elliot looked over at Alavda and grinned as he walked over towards her. Once he got over to where she was, he put his hand on her arm and grinned. "I'm happy to see you are ok...so, Dakota told me you wanted to see me?" He asked in abit of a confused tone.

[Alavda Noir]

"I'm fine, Dakota. I was barely touched," she didn't know why. From the look on Vergil's face, he was going to put a lot more damage to her than he did, but then he just pushed her off him. Strange...
"I'm just glad that Belle's mostly in one piece."

She gave Elliot a slight smile, "I do...but let's talk outside," she said, meaning outside the room, "I sort of need to tell you something that I should have told you a long time ago," she didn't want to keep this secret anymore. He was bound to find out anyhow, and she'd prefer it not be a blow when it's forced on him.

[Elliot Hampton]

Elliot nodded at Ala and followed her outside of the room and then stood abit away from the door.

"Yes, I remember you telling me that you had something to tell me the day I asked you to go steady with me...so..what is it you wanted to tell me?" He asked with abit of a smile on his face.

[Alavda Noir]

Alavda bit her lip as she followed him out of the room, giving Belle a look that said she'd be back. How was she going to tell Elliot this? Should she tell him that she's a vampire? Would he freak out?

She shifted her weight for a few minutes, trying to figure out how to spill it, "Elliot," she breathed to keep the butterflies at bay, "I'm not going to beat around the bush...a few years ago," quite a few years ago, actually, "I was sort of engaged...of course, it didn't work out," she couldn't quite meet his eyes, "He uh..." she searched for the correct English word, "betrayed me. Abandoned me."

This time she did meet his eyes, "But I want to let you know that you're not the rebound man. This happened a VERY long time ago," once again she wondered if she should just go ahead and tell him about being a vampire. What would the harm be? He was a Julius' party, so she figured that he must know about sorcerers by now. But there was that off-chance that he would hate her...especially when he found out that...

She banished the thought.

For the moment at least.

[Elliot Hampton]

Elliot watched as Alavda suddenly tensed up..well..this wasn't going to be good news. He suddenly heard that she had been engaged and that the guy she had abandoned her. He stayed quiet for a rather long time and looked at her. The word "engaged" was bothering hims still slightly, just for the fact that since she was, and he left her..that could mean she still has feeling for him. He also knew that when she said it have been a VERY long time. She meant it.

"Well..you kinda are being around the bush on one statement.." He said and got closer to her to say it. "I know you are a vampire...I've known it since the day I met you, I was just wondering when you would tell me yourself...but from what I'm getting, you like to hide alot of things from me.." He said then stepped away, showing he was abit agitated.

"And it's not the fact that you were with said person and engaged that bothers me Alavda...it's that you waited for so long...5 months infact and after we went out, to tell me all of this...I know when I first asked you to go steady and you said you wanted to tell me something and I told you wait was ok, but I didn't now it was going to be something like this Alavda. I would think all of this information would have been important to say quite a long time ago..wouldn't you agree?" He said then took a breath and looked back towards Belle's door.

"But, at least you didn't do what she did and go after an issue yourself...anyways, now that you said that and towards me at such late a time...I feel as if you are hiding even more from me...and if that is the case, why not just say it now and get it over with. And I'm not trying to be a jerk when I say that, I hope you know...but it kind of hurts knowing someone you are with is hiding something that is kind of big from you." He started then crossed his arms and waited for Alavda to tell him more.

He wasn't gonna take no for an answer like he did last time, his pride and trust was too hurt for that one now.

[Alavda Noir]

Alavda leaned back slightly when he got a little closer to her, "I know. I wanted to tell you sooner, but the time never seemed...right," she honestly tried to look him in the eye. Guilt gnawed at her, "I know. Sad excuse, non?"

Her eyes snapped right up to his, however, when he said that he knew what she was, "You knew?" she was usually so good at hiding it. Of course, this town was full of supernaturals, so maybe he knew of the more subtle signs, "How-" she almost asked, but stopped, "I guess that doesn't matter right now.

"You want to know more?" she would have expected him to leave her, "What can I say..." she paused as a nurse walked by, "I was born in the 1660s in Nice, France," she might as well tell him, "My mother died when I was little, my father was...not exactly agreeable. I didn't know what I was until I was about eighteen," she paused, wondering how many people she was going to tell this story to, "to keep it brief, I met a man named Thomas when I was sixteen or seventeen. By the time I was turning eighteen, I fell in love with him and..." she hesitated, "I uh..." she blushed, "lost 'it,'" she hoped he knew what she meant, "Soon after, we were going to elope, but he ended up awakening me. And here I am," she kept it brief, figuring that he may ask questions about certain details later. She basically told him everything...everything but...

"Oh...I haven't seen Thomas for over 300 years, but he seems to have made his way into Shadow Peak. He hasn't bothered me too much yet though."

[Tony Winthrop]

Tony walked by the vampire woman and adamite male, wondering what they were just talking about before entering the room again.

"She seems to only have a few cracked ribs..." he trailed off, "You're awake?" he was honestly surprised, "I expected you to be out for a few more hours," he shuffled through his papers, "But I was just saying that you only seem to have a few cracked ribs. No internal bleeding. I can send you home within the hour if you like."

[Neah Brightmore]

Neah watched Nate gently squeeze Belle's hand and reach down to kiss her hand. Neah smiled, then turned her attention to the doctor. She held out her hand and offered him a friendly smile.

"That's wonderful news, thank you so much Doctor." She said, "so is there anything that we need to know about what she can and can't do and what we should look out for? As you can imagine, we aren't that familiar with medical issues that aren't completely fixable." She added.

[Tony Winthrop]

Tony turned to the other girl in the room and shook her hand, "I assume that your his sister?" he gestured toward Nate.

"I would say that the only thing you need to look out for is her overworking herself. We don't want your ribs to break, do we Miss Ventus?" he gave the blonde a small smile, "Well, I'll send a nurse in in a few minutes so you can check out. Good day," he left the room.

[Elliot Hampton]

Elliot just nodded his head to the first statement and when she got into the second subject, he was going to tell her to go on with the rest, but she caught herself and did so.

He listened and shook his head. "I knew you were the Noir girl as well...thanks for trying to hide that one too." He said then listen to the name Thomas and that face from the dance clicked into his head. Suddenly though, he heard the words "lost it" and he just went stone-faced to hold back the anger he felt. Now his pride was completely crushed because he knew if that was the case, she would still have a strong attraction to him, even if she didn't know it.

"Yeah, he hasn't bothered you, that's why he talked to you and you walk away from him at the dance...right?" He said then got quiet and turned away.

"I'm going to head out, I need to get back to the classes before the next period starts..." He said as he walked off. If anything, he was walking off to think about all that stuff, and also to make sure that he didn't say something he would completely regret.

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle looked at Tony when he said that and grinned. "Well, what did you expect? I'm a tough cookie...and they aren't really cracked anymore...see? My ribs are as good as new" She said and freely moved around. "Just abit sore from the tightness of my body though..." She said with a giggle. She then heard Tony telling her not to overwork herself and pouted slightly.

"Hey, I can still do a few things...but I probably won't be either going back to school, or singing at least..." She said then nodded her head when Tony said she could leave soon.

"Thanks Tony, and it was nice to see you again." She said, then leaned up and kissed Nate's cheek after he kissed her hand. "Ah...it's nice to be able to do that again..." She giggled.

[Dakota Neloe]

Dakota smiled as he had heard that Belle was ok. It beat the conversation he was hearing Elliot and Alavda have by a landslide. He truly did feel bad for all of that, and it made him feel even worse that his brother was the main culprit of their misfortune. He would seriously need to talk to his brother about all of this...if he could get within two inches of him without that crazy girl going after him again..or worse..running into Alex.

He then turned his attention back to Neah and smiled as he heard what Belle said. "Yeah, trust us, she'll do as she pleases...but I think she actually will tone down for now.." He said then got closer to Neah to whisper. "I'm just glad she's ok...but be ready for Nate to let all of his emotions let loose later..." He said then moved away and walked over to pat Nate on the shoulder again.

"Good news...we might be able to make it to gym...and if so..may be best hunter win." He smirked.
