No prob. See you when you get back.

Cassie didn't know how to react. She was so confused. So stunned. So afraid. But not afraid of this man. No, if he tried to harm her, she could most likely fight him off. Maybe. But, what she was truly afraid of was his words. If the words he spoke were true or not. They did make sense to her. And that was what hurt. She was so vulnerable right now in her confused and hurt state. He seemed to know just how to get to her. For a moment she wondered what else he might say or do. But, thankfully she didn't have to find out because a fist collided with the young man's head, making him fall back. Hassle scrambled to his feet, ready to throw a punch, expecting either Lucien, or maybe even Toni, but when he saw it was Uncle, gave up on trying to start a fight real quick. He growled under his breath and did as the man turning, mumbling something about a 'crazy old bat' and 'always getting in the way' before he disappeared around the corner, going toward his own nest a few halls down.

When the man was gone, she looked over at Uncle and his words confused her more. He was saying to not trust anyone. Not even him. But, if she was expected to get her memories back....if she was to become a part of this Colony again, how could she not trust the people here? It was hard to think about. This had been a long and draining day. Maybe if she got some sleep it would be better for her to think about all of this in the morning. She watched as Uncle strolled off, whistling a tune as he did, and she stood there for a long moment before she slowly made her way back into her room. She stood there against the wall next to her doorway for a moment, before her mind began to wander back to what Hassle had said, and once again, her whole body began to wrack with the emotional hurt she felt by his words.

Lucien sharing a bed with another woman at the moment was almost too much to think about. Before she knew it she felt sobs escaping her and she had to cover her mouth to stifle them so she wouldn't wake the child in the pallet of blankets up, hot tears running down her cheeks. She didn't know how long she stayed there crying for. It was a long time though. After a long while, when she managed to get a hold of herself, she crawled over to her pallet and moved to lay under the covers, only silently crying now, tears still escaping her eyes as she slowly drifted off to sleep.

......

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!"

Cassie groaned slightly as she covered her head up with a blanket even more, her little nephew laughing with glee as he bounced up and down on her back, "Jacob, it is too early. I may not be human but I still require sleep."

"But you've had enough sleep. Momma says if people sleep in too late they get lazy! Besides we'll miss breakfast soon if you don't get up! I can't go without you!"

Sighing heavily, Cassie slowly sat up and nodded, rubbing her eyes, "Okay. I'm up." She was practically dragged out of the room and down the hall by the young boy, straight to the makeshift dining hall, the boy happy as can be to have his aunt back, despite the stares people gave them.

Oh, and Hassle too. Of you need to use him for a confrontation with Lucien at any point in the rp, I'm cool with it. Fight, beat him up, verbal confrontation, whatever. Just remember he can't die yet ;) No his death is going to turn the tides.

Found Alive

Posted. If you want me to write more I will. Just figured I would stop at that point and give you a chance to do something if you wanted. PS feel free to use Jacob any time you wish if you need him. He can be a shared character.

Cassie had to admit. Uncle had a pretty good idea of sending her nephew to keep watch over her. It was smart. No one would dare to attack her in front of the child(and even if she did she would rather kill them before they laid a hand on the little boy). Though, Lucien didn't seem all too pleased with the idea. Or pleased about any of this for that matter. Neither did Toni nor Hassle. Both looked sour about it, but said nothing against the old man, knowing they wouldn't win even if they did. Lucien on the other hand protested, saying he thought they were going to give her a choice. In an attempt to amuse the young man, Uncle turned to her, asking her if she wished to stay in the labs or to be able to go freely to her nest with her young nephew as her guide. She thought about this for a moment. She had nothing against the labs. It was just....not very comfortable. In a moment she decided and looked to the man, "If those are my only two options....my preference will be in my nesting hollow with my nephew."

With that, Toni sighed raking a hand through his hair, "Fine. But I'm warning you, Uncle. You might have to face Jodie's wrath before she agrees to let Jacob stay with Cassie." Not that Jodie had anything against the girl. Quite the opposite in fact. She was overly excited to have her 'sister' back. But Jodie was always a extreme mother bear. If there was a chance any situation might get her baby boy hurt, she would fight against it. And she did. The moment Toni went back to the nest to fetch Jacob and Jodie, she stomped into the labs, raising up a storm. It took over an hour of arguing, but finally, the mother saw reasoning and agreed to it. On the condition that when outside of the nest Jodie would accompany the two. It was agreed and Cassie was free to go.

It was late and Cassie was not only still soaked and cold from the little incident at the river, but also exhausted from a very eventful day. Toni scrounged up some clothes and extra blankets for the nest. The clothes were big and were actually men's clothes, but they would have to do until they could find some women's clothes for her on another raid. She changed and made it to her nesting hollow, and made up the pallet of blankets before in burst the very happen little boy, "Cassie! Cassie! Mommy says we're having a sleepover! Are we?! Are we?!"

Cassie smiled softly at the little boy and nodded, "Yes...we are....it's very good to see you again Jacob. But, isn't it your bed time, its rather late."

"Awwww! But Cassie--!"

"No buts." She said with a small laugh and nodded to the nest, "Get some sleep. I'll still be here when morning comes." She lead the little boy over to the nest and tucked him in, laying there for a long time until she knew he was asleep. It was when she was sure of that that Cassie stood up, exploring about her small room. It did indeed have many familiar things here. But...it was all different as well....she felt as though some things were missing. But maybe that was just her faulty sense of memory. Sighing, she went to move back over to the bed when she heard someone whisper her name. She blinked in confusion, looking toward the entrance of her room. She glanced over at the sleeping boy before she crept over to the door way, pushing back slightly the thick curtain that acted as a door.

And there stood at her door was Hassle, grinning down at her. She blinked in surprise, "Oh....um.....hello?...what are....what are you doing here?"

The boy grinned at her and leaned against the cave wall, "I just wanted to check on you. I know you've had it really rough this first day. What with Lucien acting like such a bastard to you when you arrived."

Cassie had a slightly hurt look on her face at being reminded of the harsh words Lucien had used with her, but tried to shake it off, "N-no.....it's fine now. That was nothing but a misunderstanding. Lucien and I are okay now. We love each other."

Hassle gave a incredulous laugh, "Cassie....I know you're feeling very confused right now. I don't blame you for thinking that to be true." He stood up straight now, taking a few steps closer to her, "If he really loves you, then why is he in the same nest as Pony right now? Surely if he loved you he would have stopped that, right?" The pain in Cassie's eyes was there and he could see he struck a nerve. This was all too easy. Stepping up in front of her now, with her back to the wall, he ran his hand over her cheek, his face inches from hers, "Castille, do you release how beautiful you are. As well as sweet. And smart. And yet...you let that man treat you like trash. Like the girl in second place. And you know who's in first place in his life right now? Pony." He moved his lips to her ear, "But with me, Cassie? You would be my number one. My only...all you have to do is say the word."

Found Alive

Kk. Sounds good. I'm replying now.

Found Alive

Haha he's supposed to . I don't blame you at all. Just take comfort that I am already planning his death. And oh how sweet it will be. ^_^ Geez that sounded psychotic of me.

Found Alive

TA-DA! Introducing Lucien's worst nightmare! HASSLE! Okay maybe not his worst nightmare. More of his competition.

Found Alive

Cassie was....slightly annoyed to find out the truth behind what was going on. So, this had been a test. A test of her will and where she stood. And apparently she had passed. She slowly let go of the goon she had in an arm lock and took a few steps back to allow him to stand up and move with the other men. She moved a little closer to Lucien when he put his hand on her shoulder, listening to the new name Uncle had for what she was. She was no longer an Android. Mentally, now it was obvious she was human. But physically? Well, her body still had humans traits, like a heart, lungs, brain, and such. But mixed in were her metal bones, strange human looking robotic eyes, and the chip in her brain(which as far as Cassie knew was slowly loosing its power over her). Cyborg. That name...it wasn't the prettiest name and was often spat upon by the robots and androids int he main cities now. But it was a label Cassie accepted, as she didn't exactly have any other fitting label for herself at the moment.

Then came the question. Where would she stay? And who would watch over her? She couldn't help but frown when Pony walked in, suggesting that there was no where else she could really stay besides with she and Lucien. Cassie REALLY didn't like the idea of that. With Lucien? She would have been comfortable. She seemed to feel safe and at ease with him. But with Pony? That was a different story. The girl seemed to be kind enough. But....she just seemed....strange. A little on the mentally unstable side? Possibly. And worse, this Pony girl wanted to have Lucien(and possibly herself thrown into the deal). And Cassie was not willing to share. She just couldn't share a room with both of these two.

She looked up at Lucien, frowning slightly, "Well...if my room is still an available option....I would like to stay there."

Toni this time stepped up, "I can get the new blankets for her room. But we do need someone there with her to keep her safe. No offense, but I don't exactly trust how the people in the Colony will react to a An...Cyborg living among us. Even if it is Cassie."

Cassie nodded, "I don't mind having someone there with me. But who--"

"I'll stay with her." This was a new voice that was familiar to Cassie, but didn't recognize. Over by the entrance of the cave, leaning against the cave wall there, was a young man around Lucien and Cassie's age, with short brown hair and green eyes, a grin on his lips, "Good to see you again Cassie. Its been a while."

With a confused look on her face, she looked at the man, then at her brother, and back at him, "Um....I would say the same....but I don't exactly...know you."

The man feigned a hurt look before chuckling, "Cassie, It's me Hassle. We were quite good friends when you were human. Although, I'm hoping that won't change now that your not." He flashed her a charming smile, walking forward, giving her a side hug, "We've really missed you 'round here Cas. Hopefully now things were be even better ten they were before."

Toni wasn't sure what to do about this situation. While Hassle was annoying and pushy, Toni surely didn't want Lucien staying with his sister. Lucien could stay with Pony for all he cared. And who knew? Maybe Hassle would be able to win his sister over. That would be better than Lucien in his mind. Anything was better then the bastard who traded her out for another woman during her disappearance. And Hassle was a trusted member of the Colony, as well as very fond of Cassie. Toni was fairly positive he wouldn't hurt her. He thought for a moment, before glancing over at Lucien. This would surely annoy the man. During Cassie's time as human, the two men had battled it out silently day after day to win Cassie over. And while Lucien had won Cassie over then, there was no promises the man would win again. And to be honest, Toni hoped for that. Looking between Cassie and Uncle, he shrugged, "I don't see any problems with it. To be honest, we all know I'd prefer to keep her either with myself and Jodie or in her room. Hassle's earned our trust here in the caves time and time again. I think we can trust him to ensure he won't let her get hurt."

Grinning more at the approval of Castille's brother, he looked to Uncle, "So, whatcha say Uncle? Can I show her around and stay with her until she can go about on her own?"
