He picked it up immediately and it was Lucinda sounding unhappy, [color=ed1c24]"Andrew, I need you. Meet me in the backyard of the house in ten minutes. We have a serious problem. If you can tell Piper to stay away from Samuel and his pack that would help me immensely."[/color] [color=silver]"I'll be right there."[/color] It seemed that this Samuel guy had done something that crossed her bottom line, killing intent flashed in Andrew's eyes. He texted Piper as he headed out the door running full speed to the mansion. When he arrived Lucinda was waiting for him. Lucinda saw Andrew and went to him. She was thankful that they were alone for the moment. She didn't want to say this in front of anyone else. [color=ed1c24] "I made a mistake yesterday, one that gives me both an enemy and more information on the upcoming war."[/color] She wasn't sure if he had heard about her and Samuel or not and she knew they didn't have a committed relationship but she wanted to change that. Andrew knew what the mistake she was referring to was but he wasn't going to rub it in. [color=silver]"Are you ok? He didn't hurt you did he?"[/color] Andrew was more concerned with Lucinda than the information she gathered. Lucinda smiled at Andrew,[color=ed1c24] "No, I'm fine. I wanted to talk to you about us first. It's been on my mind since I saw you yesterday minus my lapse of judgement last night." [/color]Lucinda knew this would sound strange but he had known her for around a 1000 years so he would understand.[color=ed1c24] "You know I love Tabitha and Garrett. Each differently and for a long time I was in love with Garrett. I think I was holding onto a love that doesn't exist anymore. I was afraid to let myself get past that. Truth be told I don't want Garrett. I want to be with you."[/color] Lucinda hadn't spent time with Andrew in 20 years and she was hoping he hadn't changed that much. [color=silver]"I have waited centuries to hear you say those words,"[/color] he said as he took her into his arms. [color=silver]"And my patience has paid off."[/color] He kissed her as all the emotions he had suppressed welled up in him. Lucinda laughed happily and kissed him back.[color=ed1c24] "I can't tell you how much I've missed you. I know I keep saying that but it's true."[/color] She couldn't believe how centered she felt when he was with her. She always felt whole when they were together. Lucinda kept hold of his hand in hers. She was about to ask if he had gotten a hold of Piper when she saw her coming across the lawn with Grant.[color=ed1c24] "Piper's here." [/color]There was noise in the house and Lucinda caught Alex and Claudia as they were entering his room. Before she could say anything the door slammed in a very final way . She smirked at both Piper and Andrew.[color=ed1c24] "Alex is a little busy at the moment. We'll catch him up later."[/color] [color=silver]"It has been a while since he has had an actual relationship, I hope it works out for him."[/color] Andrew said with a smirk. [color=silver]"What would he need catching up on, other than us at least?"[/color] He says with a light laugh. Piper walked over and noticed the hand holding and grinned. [color=fff200] "Finally figured out what or should I say Who you want huh?" [color]Lucinda nodded and smiled lovingly at Andrew.[color=ed1c24] "It took me forever and a day to realize it but yes. My eyes are open and I see clearly now."[/color] [color=silver]"I am just glad I was here when they opened,"[/color] he says with a smirk. [color=silver]"It seems that the past 1000 yrs or so are all culminating now."[/color] [color=ed1c24] "Alright, ok don't rub it in I feel dumb enough already." [/color]She said blushing and hugging him. [color=ed1c24] "Okay, Samuel wants to take over all supernaturals and put them under his rule. He is talking about vamps, wolves, witches. Everybody! He wanted me by his side because I am an Original and he figured that would make it easier for him to get the vamps under control. I saw him and his wolves in action. They were out to kill a group of younger vamps. I couldn't let him do it. I started throwing wolves and ran the vamps off." [/color]She let out her breath. [color=ed1c24] "Needless to say he is going to consider me an enemy from now on."[/color] [color=silver]"So that's why he came to town and killed Jackson. He is quite ambitious but seems to be unaware what has happened to those who attempted it before, even when successful it was only temporary."[/color] Killing intent flickering in his eyes, [color=silver]"That makes him an enemy of us all and if he tries to harm you or any of our family it will be the last time he harms anyone."[/color] Piper smiled at Andrew.[color=fff200] "He will rue the day he messed with the Prescott family." [/color]Piper looked thoughtful.[color=ed1c24] "Have you told this to Tabby and Garrett yet?" [/color] Lucinda looked regretful.[color=ed1c24] "No, I came straight here and I wanted to talk to Andrew first and make sure that you weren't involved with Samuel's group yet...It's not going to be an easy conversation with them tonight. I'm not relishing it but it has to happen. I know I screwed up. I accept that but they are just going to have to get over it and we are going to have to go to war. At least we have a heads up on what's going on because of it."[/color] [hr] [@dabombjk][@king tai][@rumikoohara][@Kyrisse][@caits]
