~ Isaac's place~
8:53:19 PM Julie: LV: ::suddenly starts crying and fussing::
8:59:23 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::has started working as a waiter at one of the local restaurants and is just getting ready for his shift when she cried; he goes through to see her:: Hey, what's wrong?
9:00:46 PM Julie: LV: ::is a little pale and cool, curled up, head on her pillow; softly:: Mama.
9:04:35 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::sighs, wondering if it'll ever stop hurting him when she mentions Maeve; reaches out to touch her:: You not feeling well, honey? Maybe Daddy can help ::uses his powers to see if it brings back her colour::
9:05:18 PM Julie: LV: ::still looks off; sadly:: Mama owie.
9:09:05 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::ignores this and picks her up:: Daddy has to get ready for work, maybe Uncle Josh wants to play a game - how about that, Livvy?
9:09:58 PM Julie: LV: ::after a moment, her color comes back, though she's still not happy; whispers:: Da...
9:11:03 PM Quantum Catz: IS: You like playing games with Uncle Josh
9:11:53 PM Julie: : ::Josh comes in:: You need any help, Isaac?
9:12:55 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::sighs:: She's upset, i don't know why thought
9:13:32 PM Julie: JH: ::nods:: I'll take her downstairs; maybe that'll help.
9:14:26 PM Quantum Catz: IS: Thanks, I need to finish getting ready
9:15:31 PM Julie: JH: ::goes down to play with Livvy, though she's not showing much enthusiasm::
9:21:05 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::comes down the stairs a few minutes later and sits next to Livvy:: Hey, honey, you going to be good while Daddy's out?
9:22:07 PM Julie: LV: ::looks at Isaac, then starts to bawl, turning pale::
9:24:20 PM Quantum Catz: IS: Livvy, honey, I don't know what's wrong ::hugs her, trying to heal her as well, in case it helps::
9:24:55 PM Julie: LV: ::whimpers for another minute, crying for her mama, before she seems better again::
9:26:49 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::winces: not only does it hurt when she mentions Maeve but it makes him feel helpless too::
9:27:46 PM Julie: JH: ::softly:: I'll play with her, Isaac. You can get to work.
9:30:08 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::hesitates and then says:: Daddy'll be home really soon, okay?
9:31:20 PM Julie: LV: ::at Josh's prompting, waves goodbye to her father::
9:32:17 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::kisses Livvy goodbye and then smiles weakly at Josh:: See you later
9:32:57 PM Julie: JH: Goodbye. ::turns his attention back to Livvy::
7:58:45 PM Julie: GU: ::arrives home after a case away from home; he's dead tired but wanted to make it home before nightfall::
8:02:18 PM Maeve: MV: ::she springs out from her hiding spot the moment he comes into view. She's wearing the charm so she doesn't look at all like herself. She just hopes it's strong enough to block him from sensing who she is::
8:03:02 PM Julie: GU: ::cries out, stepping back, his hands out in front of him:: What the devil?
8:04:17 PM Maeve: MV: ::she gives him an evil smirk and darts under his arms, aiming to take him down:: Lets say that you got the rotten end of a deal.
8:05:05 PM Julie: GU: ::completely taken aback, gets the wind knocked out of him:: Who--::pauses; it can't be::
8:06:01 PM Maeve: MV: ::she reaches for his neck:: Kill or be killed? Don't worry. At least this way Kizzie is safe, right?
8:06:38 PM Julie: GU: ::struggles, trying to throw her off him:: Get away from me!
8:07:20 PM Maeve: MV: ::she gets pushed back but she comes at him again:: Can't.
8:08:04 PM Julie: GU: ::in a low voice:: Maeve, stop it!
8:08:45 PM Maeve: MV: ::she smirks:: Can't. Though if you just kill me this whole nightmare will end. Don't worry. I'll fight back. It'll be self-defense. ::goes for his throat again::
8:09:29 PM Julie: GU: ::gasps:: Are you mad? ::tries again to push her back::
8:10:09 PM Maeve: MV: ::she's gotten strong and she stays locked on him. She tries kneeing him:: Perhaps. But really it's the only way.
8:10:38 PM Julie: GU: ::stifles a yell as Maeve hits him::
8:11:17 PM Maeve: MV: ::she takes his shoulders and tries to shove up him against the wall:: Do it Guy. It's the only way Kizzie will be safe. And Livvy. ::she pulls her hair back:: Go on. Or I'll have to kill you anyway.
8:12:19 PM Julie: GU: ::shivers, and reaches out, touching the back of Maeve's neck::
8:12:36 PM Maeve: MV: ::she drops instantly::
8:13:19 PM Julie: : ::the charm instantly stops working, leaving Maeve dead before Guy--again::
8:16:08 PM Julie: GU: ::curses, getting some rope and a blanket::
8:16:58 PM Julie: : ::he ties Maeve's body, keeping the blanket at hand; he gags her and shoves her into the hall closet, then wakes her::
8:17:25 PM Maeve: MV: ::she comes to, and her eyes widen. She looks up at Guy like he's betrayed her::
8:18:05 PM Julie: GU: ::whispers:: We'll do something, but...I can't. It'd be murder.
8:18:41 PM Maeve: MV: ::she grunts through the tag:: It will be if you don't! :::she struggles, panicking::
8:19:29 PM Julie: GU: ::coldly:: Stop that. You're here 'til late tonight.
8:20:16 PM Maeve: MV: ::she stops, glaring at him. Though the charm is working again so she doesn't look the same:::
8:21:13 PM Julie: GU: ::in a low voice:: I don't have time to deal with you now. ::closes the door on her and looks for a note from Kizzie::
8:21:31 PM Maeve: MV: ::she beats against the closet, not wanting him to leave::
8:24:49 PM Quantum Catz: KZ: ::has left a note saying that she's gone to help Mrs Grayson's daughter - her flowerbed got stamped on by bullies and she was too upset for kizzie to say no::
8:25:25 PM Julie: GU: ::sighs; stops by the closet:: Quiet down. 'll figure something out.
8:25:39 PM Maeve: MV: ::she groans and bangs again::
8:26:16 PM Julie: GU: There's no guarantee your daughter would be safe if I did it!
8:26:39 PM Maeve: MV: ::through the gag:: It's the best chance I've got!
8:27:49 PM Quantum Catz: KZ: ::opens the door, sighing as she gets in the house. Helping the girl with her flowers tired her out more than she thought it would::
8:27:57 PM Julie: GU: And then I'm on the gallows myself! ::slams the door, not hearing Kizzie come in::
8:28:14 PM Maeve: MV: ::she yelps, leaning back::
8:30:11 PM Quantum Catz: KZ: ::hesitates:: Guy?
8:30:31 PM Julie: GU: ::turns back, rather pale:: Welcome...welcome home.
8:30:42 PM Maeve: MV: ::she beats on the closet::
8:30:56 PM Quantum Catz: KZ: What... ::looks towards the closet:: What's going on?
8:31:59 PM Julie: GU: ::winces:: Please trust me, Kizzie.
8:32:24 PM Maeve: MV: ::beats harder::
8:33:17 PM Quantum Catz: KZ: You...you said something about the gallows... ::is looking rather pale herself::
8:34:04 PM Julie: GU: ::swallows hard; leans close to Kizzie:: If...if I tell you...we may have to leave the island.
8:34:22 PM Maeve: MV: ::through the gag:: No you won't! Just kill me!
8:35:18 PM Quantum Catz: KZ: ::backs up a step:: What's going on, Guy?
8:36:03 PM Julie: GU: ::leans even closer to Kizzie; breathes:: It's Maeve.
8:38:55 PM Quantum Catz: KZ: Maeve? But she's...
8:39:08 PM Maeve: MV: Guy you're going to get us all killed!
8:39:33 PM Julie: GU: ::shakes his head; after a moment, goes back to the closet and opens it:: Look away, Kizzie.
8:40:17 PM Maeve: MV: ::her eyes widen and a flash of fear crosses her face before she masks it. She calms down considerably::
8:40:25 PM Quantum Catz: KZ: I don't understand this - how is she alive? why do you have her locked in our closet?
8:41:16 PM Julie: GU: ::winces:: The less you know the better, but I'll explain later if you want. You must trust me, though. ::the figure in the closet doesn't look like Maeve::
8:41:58 PM Maeve: MV: ::she looks away, waiting:: Hurry.
8:42:13 PM Julie: GU: ::looks back to make sure Kizzie's turned away::
8:45:41 PM Quantum Catz: KZ: ::is still looking at him but she feels the baby kick and her hand goes to her stomach; she blinks back confused tears and turns to go towards the kitchen::
8:46:36 PM Julie: GU: ::kills Maeve again, only so he can better gag and bind her; she's making too much noise::
8:46:56 PM Maeve: MV: ::goes limp again, morphing back to herself::
8:51:57 PM Julie: GU: ::once he's sure Maeve isn't going to make any noise, he releases her; whispers:: We'll save you!
8:53:27 PM Maeve: MV: ::she wakes up again and realizing she's still alive, she tears up::
8:56:41 PM Julie: GU: ::closes the door and goes towards the kitchen; whispers:: Kizzie...
8:57:10 PM Quantum Catz: BM: ::appears in the living room with Toby::
8:57:28 PM Julie: GU: ::looks back with wide eyes:: What are you doing here?
8:58:08 PM Quantum Catz: KZ: ::is in the kitchen, leaning forward against the counter; she's been feeling rather emotional while pregnant and is now struggling to stop herself crying; ignoring Guy::
8:59:22 PM Julie: TY: ::blinks:: You sent us a note.
8:59:41 PM Maeve: MV: ::knocks against something in the closet::
8:59:53 PM Quantum Catz: BM: Kinda odd note really ::looks over at the closet::
9:00:15 PM Julie: GU: ::swallows, shaking his head:: I...did no such thing. But...
9:00:42 PM Maeve: MV: ::she knocks again::
9:04:45 PM Julie: TY: ::frowns:: What's that noise?
9:05:21 PM Maeve: MV: ::knocks something over on herself and she yelps through the gag::
9:06:32 PM Julie: GU: ::winces; softly:: Are you two up to helping an old friend?
9:07:00 PM Quantum Catz: BM: What are you talking about? Do you have someone locked up in there?
9:07:53 PM Julie: GU: ::suddenly quite afraid that he and Kizzie will be leaving the island after all; after a moment, opens the closet, blocking it with his back while he removes the charm::
9:08:22 PM Maeve: MV: ::she glares at him, still angry at him for not cooperating::
9:08:53 PM Julie: TY: ::stares when Guy steps back:: Have you...had her all this time?
9:10:11 PM Quantum Catz: BM: Maeve...
9:10:27 PM Julie: GU: ::shakes his head:: She walked in--told me to kill her.
9:10:40 PM Maeve: MV: ::she looks at them briefly then at the floor::
9:10:56 PM Julie: GU: ::goes back to try to get Kizzie::
9:11:59 PM Maeve: MV: ::she moves, struggling to get out::
9:12:31 PM Julie: TY: ::melts through the gag::
9:13:17 PM Quantum Catz: KZ: ::is still leaning against the counter::
9:13:38 PM Maeve: MV: It's better for Livvy if he does it Toby.
9:14:01 PM Julie: GU: ::puts his arm around Kizzie; whispers:: I'm so sorry. They told me they'd kill you if anyone found out.
9:14:21 PM Julie: TY: But what about you?
9:14:50 PM Maeve: MV: ::she snorts and glances at Becky:: Lets just say Becky was right after all. You shoulda left me dead.
9:15:09 PM Quantum Catz: BM: ::winces:: Where have you been?
9:15:36 PM Maeve: MV: ::shakes her head:: It doesn't matter. Isaac isn't to know a thing and you're to get Guy to kill me then get rid of the evidence.
9:16:50 PM Julie: TY: We can't do that, Maeve.
9:17:23 PM Maeve: MV: ::she closes her eyes, looking frustrated:: Look I'm going to end up dead one way or another. It'll hurt Livvy less if Guy does it. And if I'm dead Kizzie is safe. Just do it!
9:17:24 PM Quantum Catz: KZ: ::is still shaking a bit:: Just...just give me a minute. Having my body full of crazy hormones doesn't make it easy to deal with coming home to your husband locking your dead friend in a closet
9:18:20 PM Julie: TY: ::looks at Becky::
9:18:38 PM Quantum Catz: BM: Maybe...maybe we could just take you somewhere
9:19:01 PM Julie: GU: ::nods, pulling her closer:: I'm so sorry, Rosebud.
9:19:12 PM Maeve: MV: ::she tears up:: I don't want to live Becky!! Not alone..somewhere... no! And no outcome leads me back to Isaac. Too much has happened.
9:20:04 PM Julie: TY: ::coldly:: Change your face, get him to love you...
9:21:03 PM Maeve: MV: ::snaps:: No! It endangers them too much. I'm not going back. ::she smirks:: You'll be doing the world a favor anyway. Getting rid of a killer who causes people to *spontaneously combust*.
9:22:24 PM Quantum Catz: KZ: ::sighs and pulls away, rubbing at her aching back:: What are you going to do now? What happens?
9:22:40 PM Quantum Catz: BM: That was you?
9:23:17 PM Maeve: MV: ::smiles and then looks over her shoulder, yelling:: And Guy was to be 16 though I'm sure they wanted him to kill me instead!
9:23:18 PM Julie: GU: I can't kill her. ::pauses, swallowing:: Unless...
9:25:03 PM Maeve: MV: ::she struggles with the ropes and looks back at Toby helplessly:: Will you let me out of here please?
9:25:12 PM Quantum Catz: KZ: ::winces at Maeve's words:: What 'they'? Who did this?
9:26:15 PM Julie: GU: ::shivers:: The government made me set it all up.
9:27:35 PM Quantum Catz: KZ: The government?
9:28:09 PM Julie: TY: ::shakes his head:: You don't have to do it anymore.
9:28:27 PM Julie: GU: ::nods:: We'd have to leave. Unless...unless I killed her.
9:28:49 PM Maeve: MV: I know! If you'd just kill me already! ::struggles against the ropes::
9:29:16 PM Julie: TY: You know we can't!
9:29:53 PM Maeve: MV: But you have to! Livvy's life depends on it Toby! There is *no* way out of this. And after all I've done... ::she shakes her head:: I can't go back.
9:31:26 PM Quantum Catz: BM: You're being selfish - you can't just expect Guy to take your life
9:31:49 PM Maeve: MV: He has to if he wants his wife to live.
9:33:18 PM Quantum Catz: KZ: You...you can't just kill her...can't you? ::sheasks it uncertainly, like she's not really sure she knows what he's capable of now::
9:33:51 PM Julie: GU: ::looks down:: No. Unless you wanted me to.
9:35:01 PM Maeve: MV: ::when they don't say anything her gaze gets colder as it settles on Toby:: Then start making me a corpse. ::glances at Becky:: Might wanna rest up. The states is quite a distance.
