Re: The Edwards Family's Herfordshire Estate Part 1

[Pockets]

Alexis glares at Jillian, a fire in her eyes. She pushes herself up with her left hand, swinging her dislocated shoulder out of the hold, no longer feeling it. She stumbles back to her feet again, barely managing not to fall over. She looks right into Jillian's eyes, grabs her shoulder with her good hand and pops it into place yet again.

Alexis: No.

[Cryonix]

Jillian: You're going to keep getting up, huh?

[Pockets]

Alexis smirks.

Alexis: You're not getting rid of me.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex screams, straining at his restrains.

Alex: ALEXIS STAY DOWN!..... I'M NOT WORTH THIS!

[Pockets]

Alexis looks at Alex over her shoulder.

Alexis: If you hadn't noticed, I'm already up.

[Cryonix]

Jillian watches the exchange and approaches Alexis again....but this time....she...

...puts her hand on top of her head. She smiles proudly at Alexis. She puts her finger under her chin and lifts her face....

Jillian: That....THAT...is what I wanted to hear from you. That is the resolve it takes to be a part of this family. If you have it...you are worthy.

...Welcome...daughter.

She looks to Alex...then to Ewan with a large grin...

Jillian: I am satisfied. She passes.

[Pockets]

Alexis stares at Jillian, a slow grin spreading across her face as she realizes what just happened. Then she collapses.

[Cryonix]

Jillian smirks...

Jillian: Looks like the 'great Jillian De Silva' has still got it....huh?

[Cruel Britannia]

Ewan smiles.

Ewan: Never doubted is for a secind love.....

He whispers in her ear.

....you realise you're getting some tonight right?

Alex is released from his shackles, he runs over and kneels next to Alexis.

Ewan: You did well son.... perhaps you'd like to take your fiance upstairs and put her in a hot bath? I trust you remember how to mix the salts?

He looks up at his father.

Alex: Of course.

Alex gently scoops Alexis in to his arms.

[Cryonix]

Jillian: Oh, am I? I didn't think I was that exciting to watch anymore...

[Pockets]

Alexis' eyes open slightly and she smiles at Alex.

Alexis: I... did it....

She tries to lift her arms to put them around his shoulders, but there is no strength left in them. She closes her eyes again, her head falling back.

[Cruel Britannia]

Ewan smirks.

Ewan: Meh..... you'll be a decent wrestler someday....

Meanwhile...

Alex begins the LONG trek to carry Alexis up to the master bathroom.

Alex: Yes you did my love.

[Cryonix]

Jillian: Really? You truly mean it?

She smirks...

Jillian: ...such an ass sometimes... I guess all that's left...is to ring the bell to signal completion...and the birth of a new Edwards...

[Pockets]

Alexis lays in the bath, relaxed for the first time in hours. She smiles, not wanting to move.

[Cruel Britannia]

Ewan smiles and walks over to a nearby furnace..... he throws a vial of Red powder into the fire. Redsmoke begins to billow out of the chimney of the Edwards mansion. Ewan pulls a cord that once again sounds the bells that echo across the Hertfordshire countryside... signifying the birth of a new Edwards.

Alex finally reaches the opulent master bathroom. He gently places her on a nearby chair.... taking the opportunity to reset her dislocated limbs while she is unconscious.

[Pockets]

Alexis peeks her eyes open and looks around in groggy confusion

Alexis: What happened to the bath... oww....

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex: It's coming honey.

Alex switches the bathwater on....hot..... before very very gently getting Alexis out of her jumpsuit. He gently places her in the now filled bath. He starts mixing various powders in a pestle and mortar.... keeping a constant eye on Alexis to ensure she remains conscious.

[Pockets]

Alexis looks almost amused.

Alexis: Oh, there it is....

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex laughs.

Alex: Um.... honey.... don't get too excited too soon.... I haven't finished mixing your salts yet.

[Pockets]

Alexis: I'm not excited. I've had enough excited for right now.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex finishes his preparations.

Alex: Well then I warn you.... this is going to feel very..... very.... good.... especially....

He notices the "Special" bruise Jilly left.

.... in certain.... areas.

[Pockets]

Alexis' eyebrows go up.

Alexis: What, are you mad it wasn't you?

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex sighs.

Alex: You were warned.

He tips the mixture into the bath and quickly agitates it with his hand. The bath begins to bubble like a pan of water on a rolling boil.

[Pockets]

Alexis smiles, sighs, closes her eyes, and begins to sink down into the water.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex chuckles, reaches into the water and pulls Alexis' head above the water's surface.

Alex: Relax.... let the salts work..... but try not to drown....m'kay sweetie?.... otherwise today would have been a big-ass waste of a day.
