Jaqcues nodded. ''Well, our games are all games of skill. For instance, we have the beams, wich you fight on with different weapons. But, there are stakes if you fall off, so you dont want to fall off. '' He said describing the very game Dimitri had built at his home. ''Then we have ring matches wich we fight in without weapons. This game is just as bad because some Vampires fight dirty.'' He said laughing.
Silas shook his head. This was going to be a long tour.
~
Karsten nodded. ''Well, hopefully we can figure something out.'' He said running a hand through his hair.

Oliver nodded, his brown hair swishing. "It depends if you want to follow the path set out for you, or go aganist it. The former, I might add, is the path of least resistance."
...
Maryjane winced. "I don't think I to much like the sound of those games..." She muttered.

Karsten shook his head. ''I dont know. I mean...I cant see why on Earth the Princes Past want me to love a human...and the kin of a traitor...'' He said sighing in defeat. He put and arm over his eyes. ''What do you think I should do?''
~
Jaqcues chuckled. ''Then maybe you would like to see the gradens first?'' He asked walking down a long hall.
Silas looked around. The same basic things where everywhere. Candles, wooden doors, and long dark hallways.

Maryjane grinned and nodded eagerly."Oh, yes, please. I love gardens."
...
Oliver thought for quite some time. "I think you should apologize to her." He finally said. "Perhaps the Princes have areason for sending such oddball dreams."

Jaqcues nodded. ''Alright...hopefully Karsten isnt there.'' He said as they walked. ''So...how do you like our race so far? pretty cool people huh?'' He asked her looking down at her.
Silas looked around and chuckled. ''Pretty boring right now.'' He said laughing.
~
Karsten sighed. ''I guess....Ill have to go and have her summoned..Thank you I suppose Oliver.'' He said sitting up and rubbing his eyes. ''Well...Ill be off then.'' He said standing up to leave.

Oliver shook his head. "No need to thank me. I'm sure you could have figured out what to do yourself." He gave a very cavaleir smile to Karsten. "Good luck, myfriend."
...
Maryjane grinned. "Yes...except for that Karsten fellow. He seems really mean." She said.

Karsten nodd and walked out without another word. He went and got one of the Generals. ''Triston, please go get the human girl. Make sure shes alone please. Then bring her to the gardens for me.'' He said. The man nodded and walked off.
~
Jaqcues chuckled. ''Yes...hes our eldest living Prince. So, if hes there just try to be polite.'' He said as they began walking down a different corridor. Hardly any Vampires walked past them. It was like a different world.
~
Triston made his way quickly to the room the two girls where staying in. ''Lily, you have been asked to the gardens.'' He said through the door.

Lily gulped,and looked over at Thea. The half-vampress bit her lip but nodded.
"I...I'll be right there." Lily said, then got off of her hammmock and took off her cloak. Should worse come to worse, she could run better without it. The earth child walked over to the door and opened it, her face paler than paper.
...
Oliver sat back down, picking up another book and starting to read it.
...
Maryjane shrugged. "I'll try. But if he says one more mean thing about Lily..." She trailed off, frowning.

Triston nodded. ''Please follow me.'' He said and he began to walk towards the gardens. His pace was brisk and his stride was long.
~
Karsten sighed and sat on the bench he had in the middle of the huge gradens. His wine still sat where he had once again left it. He hoped Lily did come, if the Princes had something in store..it must be important.
~
Jaqcues chuckled. ''Dont worry because Ill rough him up regardless of him being my Prince.'' He said as they entered the last hall to the gardens. ''Get ready to see the vast underground gardens of the mountain.'' He said happily.
Silas chuckled and watched as Jaqcues lead the way into the gardens.

Lily followed Triston, fixing her black Aerosmith shirt anxiously. She had to power-walk to keep up with him, but she was to nervous to complain.
...
Maryjane abandoned her previous annoyance and brightened."Oh, goody!" She said, clapping her hands together.
...
Thea bit her lip, hard, and lay down in her hammock to stew things over.

Triston made it quickly to the back entrance of the gardens. ''Walk to the center, a bench and the summoner are awaiting you.'' He said before leaving Lily on a path with flowers all around it.
Jaqcues laughed and walked into the gardens. ''Very nice huh?'' He said as they walked slowly through the gardens. Silas nodded. ''Who takes care of it all...and how is it possible to have flowers inside without sunlight or anything?'' he asked.
Jaqcues chuckled. ''Vampire Secret.'' He said putting a finger to his lips.
~
Karsten took a large drink from his wine glass. ''Oh Princes Past what are you doing to me...'' He asked looking up. ''Trying to wear me down or what?'' He asked again still getting no answer.

((Gah...this computer is so frickin slow!))
As soon as Lily entered the gardens, every flower turned their petals towards her, as if blown by a gentle wind. This calmed Lily down a bit and walked quickly over to Karsten. She stood silent before him, her hands behind her back and her posture rigid as a board. "You summpned me?" Sh asked, trying to ignore the flowers that brushed their petals across her cheek.
...
Maryjane looked around, her eye wide. "Wow..." She breathed."This place is beautiful!"

Karsten nodded. ''Yes, I did.'' He said setting his wine glass down he sighed. '' I asked you here so I could say sorry.'' He said. He could feel a part of him die inside at this.
~
Jaqcues nodded. ''I dont come alot...but Karsten does. I dont know most of the names of them/'' He said looking around.

Lily raised her eyebrows, crossing her arms over her chest as she said, "Oh? And why the sudden change of heart? I thought you despied the very ground I walked apon."
...
Maryjane nodded silently, looking around, wonder in her big lavender eyes.

Karsten lowered his head. ''Well...I've decided I was wrong to think that way.'' He said looking back up. He could just imagine what would happen if any of the Vampires found out he had done this. They would no longer respect him, he was certain of it.
~
Jaqcues smiled and walked along the path with her. ''Here.'' he said picking a flower and putting it in her hair.
((Hey, Ill brb I gotta go get pants for school))
