He looks at Gabriel weirdly...

Alex: Dude.... did you seriously sniff my fiancee for evidence of a sex cocoon?

Cryonix Thu Feb 24, 2011 12:12 am

Gabe: The nose never lies. I smelled jergans soap, whirlpool jets and pussy. That's leaves only one logical conclusion.

Cruel Britannia Thu Feb 24, 2011 12:17 am

Alex: Well.... she survived having a conversation without regretting agreeing to marry me.... the initiation should be a piece of cake....

Cryonix Thu Feb 24, 2011 12:18 am

Gabe laughs...then gets serious...

Gabriel: Alex...why didn't you call me when you found out you couldn't wrestle anymore?

Cruel Britannia Thu Feb 24, 2011 12:22 am

Alex: You were training for Carwin.... didn't want to distract you with the pathetic woes of my sorry ass.

Cryonix Thu Feb 24, 2011 12:30 am

Gabe: Dont. Don't you give me that 'you were training' bullshit. You know we're family, Alex. I would have been on the first plane to Chicago to check on you man.

He looks Alex in his eyes...

Gabe: Alex...do your parents know?

Cruel Britannia Thu Feb 24, 2011 12:34 am

Alex sighs.

Alex: Yes Gabe they know... I didn't tell them right away..... because.... well.... could you? But I told them.

Cryonix Thu Feb 24, 2011 12:38 am

Gabe: So I'm only the last to find out...cool. Smile

Where is Aunt Jilly anyway...

Meanwhile, in London...

Receptionist: Hello Dr. Edwards. Your emergency is in your office.

Jillian: Thank you, Linda. Did you get a list of the symptoms?

Linda: He seems to have a very bad knee. He also mentioned something about a weight he hasn't managed to get rid of for like...twenty years.

Jillian: Hmm....that's odd. Alright. I'm headed in. Hold all my calls...I'm not really here today.

She walks into her magnificent office and hears...

Voice: 'ello...Queenie...

Jillian:.....A...Ashley?!?!?!?!

Jabberwocky Thu Feb 24, 2011 12:45 am

Ashley:"I...I know that it was unlikely if I just called you and said "'ey I'm in London, can we chat?" that you would come down 'ere. And I couldn't exactly knock on yer door...But Colin told me that you spoke to 'im and...I 'ad to fly over 'ere and make and try."

Cruel Britannia Thu Feb 24, 2011 12:47 am

Alex: Yeah well.... you got to find out about my highly embarrassing midnight training.... so I guess it all balances out....

.... mum said she had an emergency patient..... just ran out..... but she was being nice to Lexi..... it was weird.

Cryonix Thu Feb 24, 2011 12:48 am

Anger. Unrelenting Anger. I...Calm, Jillian, Calm. Easy...

Jillian: Why.Are.You.Here? Especially after what I found out about the condition of my son. Tell me.

Pockets Thu Feb 24, 2011 12:49 am

Alexis: I mentioned that to Gabriel... he said that meant they've got something really special planned for me.

She makes a wry face.

Alexis: Should I be worried yet?

Cruel Britannia Thu Feb 24, 2011 12:51 am

Alex: If it makes you feel any better.... it going to be just as difficult for me... perhaps worse.

Pockets Thu Feb 24, 2011 12:52 am

Alexis: How would it be difficult for you?

Cruel Britannia Thu Feb 24, 2011 12:55 am

Alex: I guess there's no harm in telling you that much.... I can't help you.... I mean I literally couldn't help you if I tried..... It's something you have to do alone.

Pockets Thu Feb 24, 2011 12:58 am

Alexis glances between Gabriel and Alex, starting to get nervous again.

Alexis: Is it going to be that bad, that it would bother you not helping me?

Cryonix Thu Feb 24, 2011 12:59 am

Gabe: From what I understand....yeah, it will be. Did your dad tell you what's going on tonight, Alex?

Cruel Britannia Thu Feb 24, 2011 1:01 am

Alex looks at Alexis apologetically. He turns to Gabe.

Alex: Not really.... he didn't seem to be feeling very.... talkative.

Jabberwocky Thu Feb 24, 2011 1:02 am

Ashley slowly sits down

Ashley:"Because...because I can't do it anymore Jillian. I can't run from wot I did to you anymore...and I can't live with the guilt. I can't drown it with alcohol. The...the nitemares...I..."

his body leans forward. He stares at the floor as tears hit the floor and his shoes

Ashley"I'm sorry Jillian...I'm so...so sorry."

Cryonix Thu Feb 24, 2011 1:09 am

As Gabe is about to say something...all of them hear a loud bell ringing all over the Edwards estate. He sighs deeply...

Gabe: Well....it's time. Alexis, you need to go upstairs and wash yourself clean...totally clean. Alex...you need to come with me. Say your goodbyes now, Alex...for you will NOT be allowed to help her in anyway once she crosses that threshold.

He produces a piece of paper with his instructions that he followed, after hearing the bell...Meanwhile....

Jillian: Haven't we done this before? I mean...you're the same guy that mocked me and my children when I was in a COMA, ASHLEY! I had to watch your kids grow up healthy and strong...and now knowing....

...My Alex...My husband's family's legacy....seven generations....

...all wiped away with an..."I'm Sorry?" Do you know how...HOLLOW that rings to me?

Cruel Britannia Thu Feb 24, 2011 1:13 am

Alex kisses Alexis and pulls her into a tight hug.

Alex: I love you Alexis.

Pockets Thu Feb 24, 2011 1:15 am

Alexis: I love you too... I'll be fine.

She chuckles nervously.

Alexis: It's a way to prove I'm serious, right?

Cruel Britannia Thu Feb 24, 2011 1:17 am

Alex: It's about more than that my love..... you'll understand after.

Jabberwocky Thu Feb 24, 2011 1:18 am

Ashley:"I...I know wot I said...I know wot I did. Believe me I know wot I did.

he looks up at Jillian, he looks an emotional wreck

"This time is different Jillian. I swear its different."

Cryonix Thu Feb 24, 2011 1:19 am

Gabe: Alright...Alexis. Once you cross that threshold, you will be alone. It is to signify the individiual achievement that the first Edwards gained in his knighthood. You will wash in silence. When you are clean totally...There will be a black jumpsuit on the bed. Put it on. Walk out into the hallway and await your escort.

Gabe sighs...

Gabe: Heh, buck up kid. Most people have run screaming from the estate already. You're a leg up. Just hold on to your conviction...and you'll make it.

He gives her a quick hug...

Gabe: Oh...never look back. NEVER. This is about your future...not your past. Got it?
