Jax was up and out of bed by around five, moving away from Morthos to grab a few tombs she had brought with her. She re-read some passages about arch demons and spells that she could re-work to suit her magic. After awhile, she touched her cross, putting the book down to get up and sit by the window. She shut her eyes reinforcing prayers to her two gods and the path she took between them. Halfway through her words a knock was heard on the door. She paused feeling a sense of foreboding. Something evil was hiding behind that door. Instinct screamed at her to be wary. She shook her head walking over to the handle, pausing only for a few minutes before opening it. She let out a short sigh when she saw it was Ophelia, her sisterly bond pushing away the instinct. She turned to look at Morthos who seemed to still be fast asleep before moving into the hallway and shutting the door. She rubbed her eyes before crossing her arms, [color=39b54a]“I am still mad, but I understand I need to control my temper sometimes, especially when we have bigger issues to deal with. So I apologize for getting so heated.”[/color]

[i]Ophelia listened to Jax speak after stepping out into the hallway. She nodded gently and then spoke up. [color=6ecff6]“I’m sorry I didn’t say anything sooner. I know I should have. But like I said last night, I haven’t seen nor heard from this Eileen person. I don’t know for sure if she’s not dead. Or if Roxas is just… getting worse?”[/color] She sighed softly at the truth in her words, pausing.

When she continued, her eyes connected with Jax’, and they were dark though her voice did not match the darkness her eyes showed. [color=6ecff6]“We are a team. I promise you from now on I will make sure we talk about things that might be of importance. On the other side, I do think that you let your temper take control of your words sometimes… But I forgive you.”[/color][/i]

Jax listened patiently, feeling immediately better after getting that out in the open. She moved over to her sister and gave her a hug, [color=39b54a]“Thank you. I know I’ve been a bit crazy these past few days. As you know I have my period...so my emotions are just having a party. It’s not a good excuse but...yeah.”[/color] 

She let out a sigh, happy that Ophelia didn’t mention anything about Morthos sleeping in her bed. That shouldn’t have happened and it only could lead to questions that she really didn’t want to answer right now. 

[i]Ophelia stopped and her throat, though already burning, tightened up and she couldn’t speak for a moment. When she cleared her throat, she tried to ensure her voice was smooth. [color=6ecff6]“What did you say?”[/color][/i]

Jax stopped and gave her a confused expression, [color=39b54a]“Huh? I said it’s not a good excuse?”[/color]

[i][color=6ecff6]“Jax… I don’t have my period right now…”[/color] was all Ophelia was able to say in response. She felt overwhelmed and extremely tired in this moment.[/i]

[color=39b54a]“What do you mean? Of course you have your period. We always have them at the same…”[/color] Jax’s eyes widened. She moved to the other side of the hallway and sat beside a table of flowers on a small stool looking over at her sister, [color=39b54a]“Are you sick?”[/color]

[i]Ophelia thought about the past few days and what’s been going on, and how she’s been feeling. [color=6ecff6]“Well yeah I’ve been getting sick a lot, but I assumed it was from using the ley line and then maybe from the sleeping potion… But I got sick last night too after talking to Roxas…”[/color] Her voice wavered and cracked at the end of her sentence and her eyes stung with tears.[/i]

Jax shoved her hands through her hair, [color=39b54a]“Have you and Roxas been careful?”[/color] 

She sat up, no judgment in her expression, just concern, [color=39b54a]“You don’t think that you’re? Can you... even without a potion or something?”[/color]

[i][color=6ecff6]“What do you mean without a potion or something? I literally don’t know anything about this… It wasn’t really something I studied during my classes Jax… What should I do!”[/color] Ophelia began pacing around the hallway, trying to keep her voice down so she wouldn’t wake the boys. [/i]

Jax stood up and raised her hands, [color=39b54a]“Calm down..it’s alright. It might just be a bad case of blood. Maybe you ate a really sick dude or something. Got a bad batch. Maybe. It doesn’t mean your pregnant!” [/color]

[i][color=6ecff6]“I haven’t fed on another human for a long time Jax… I’ve been hunting animals and feeding from Roxas mostly. When did we go to the club?”[/color] Ophelia said, moving toward her sister and her voice sounding panicked. She placed her hands on Jax’s shoulders and tried to think back to see if it lined up, or if this was just some weird thing happening.[/i]

[color=39b54a]“Uh...A month or so ago I think..It was like a few days before our first mission.”[/color] Jax spoke, [color=39b54a]“Wait..have you and Roxas been...you know doing it, without protection? I mean how did this even happen...if you are? God...we are going to be fighting a demon soon. If you are you shouldn’t be put into danger. Oh dear god. Oh dear god.”[/color] Jax started to pace mumbling to herself about the variables. 

[i][color=6ecff6]“Well that night after the club… Yeah I guess… I don’t wanna talk about that! TMI. But try to calm down… I can fight perfectly fine! I’ll be fine… We’ll fight this demon and kick it’s ass and then… and then it’ll be fine. Right?”[/color] Ophelia looked up at Jax expectantly, feeling scared for once.[/i]

Jax paused for a second, scared and unsure about any of this but she knew she had to be a big sister right now, so she put on her confident smile, [color=39b54a]“Hell yeah it will be fine. If your not...then we stay more safe sex conscious in the future. If you are...then that kid is going to be part of the greatest family in existence! Alright. When you get a moment though..you need to phone mom! She should know the most about this stuff.”[/color]

[i]Ophelia nodded and wiped at her eyes with the back of her hands. [color=6ecff6]“I promise I will call her when things aren’t so chaotic here. I think worrying about Morthos’ mom is priority right now. Thank you Jax… for not yelling at me about this… I know I don’t really know that much stuff…”[/color] She moved and hugged Jax tightly to her for a long moment. She wasn’t sure how long they had though before the boys woke up.[/i]

Jax hugged her sister, tears welling up in her eyes, [color=39b54a]“Okay...I love you, ya know, and I want you to be so careful today. If anything happened to you, I swear I would raise the entire underworld in response. God..I don’t know how I am going to keep this all a secret. You know I suck at hiding things.” [/color]

[i][color=6ecff6]“I will worry about telling the boys. You need to focus on getting rid of this bastard demon… Okay? I love you too Jax.”[/color] [/i]

Jax nodded, [color=39b54a]“Alright. Let’s wake em up and get going. Faster we get to dealing with this asshole, faster we get you a pregnancy test.”[/color] 

Suddenly she turned as the door opened and looked over at Morthos, [color=39b54a]“We made up!”[/color]
