Three worried hearts are better than one - Theodore

@Theodore

Jamie had taken Mariella back to the mansion. He was not sure what to think of her actions. He had never been a violent person, which could contradict his more blood hungry side. He just thought there was another way in most situations. He did however not judge someone if they did kill someone. At least not everyone. He tried not to, it very much depended on who had died. He carried her to her room and put her down on the bed. He looked over is shoulder when he felt their prescences. "She fainted," he said with a sigh taking a step back so Theo and Lion could enter.

Theo had seen Jamie leave in a hurry. Sometimes those vampire just ran off and it was like the flash was in town. However he could tell between Jamies, of there its fashion police run and his of shit someone is in trouble run. He smelled the blood the second Jamie stepped in the mansion. He had been walking around with Lion most of the afternoon - but they both had shared one look at each other before storming after Jamie. Theodore passed through the wall, letting Lion walk first through the door. Before he could ask what had happened, Jamie told a part of it.
"Fainted? Fainted from what? Buddy, you need to be a bit more specific," he claimed and walked to the bed. He looked at her, placing his hand on hers - trying to get a hint of what happened inside her dreams. Of course Theo knew Mariella had trouble sleeping. He closed his eyes and frowned for a second. Then he went in and  temporarily pushed her mind into a more peaceful state. Letting her getting the rest she needed. Theodore was a son of a doctor, he knew a few things. And Mariella was burning up.
"We need something to cool her down, she is burning up." Theo put his hand on Mariellas forehead and looked at Jamie first - he was the fastest. Then he looked at Lion.

Jamie was worried about her. He wasn't thinking straight. "Right, sorry," he said when Theo asked for more information. "She called me because someone was in trouble. A girl had been injured by a man, a boyfriend maybe. Mariella was using her abilities on him and it must have been too much and she fainted." He was not happy about leaving the other girl, but he did offer she could come back and she just went her own way. He nodded when Theo said they needed to cool her down. He went away to get the ice.

Lion hadn't talked with Mariella and now she was going around fainting? Was he supposed to just leave alone now too. He wasn't going to leave. He moved over next to Theo. "Do you think she's okay?" He asked with a clear worry in his voice and eyes.

Jamie returned with the ice and gave it to Theo. He seemed to know what he was doing.

Theo listened to what Jamie said and gave him a nod. He had been slightly angry with Jamie and Lion. It was hard staying focused on the goal when these two had been out doing there own thing in a time like this. Theo tried his best to be there for everyone, they just had made it hard. Mariella didn't make it easier being stubborn as she was. Jamie left the room for something cold, Theo sighed and looked at Lion.
"No. But I think she will be. It's a process," he scratched his neck a little before looking back at Lion. Theo had spend more time with Mariella than Lion and Jamie the past weeks. "But I pushed her mind in the right spot. She isn't sleeping, ever since the twins did the number on her - she had trouble not getting nightmares. I guess its worsened, now that Reggie isn't with her doing the night." He explained and looked over at Jamie when he returned. He took the ice and wrapped it around the towel. "I mean I tried a few times to remove it, but there is a lot. But if she agrees, I can start staying with her doing the night," he put the bag of ice on Mariellas forehead and sighed.
"I'm worried she is pushing herself to hard, she has this look in her eyes. And her voice.. she is acting so calm, it freaks me out." Of course you two haven't been around to see it he wanted to add, but kept it to himself. He took a deep breath in before looking at his friends.

Lion regretted everything. He regretted ever leaving her to deal with this on his own. What kind of brother was he? She deserved a better brother than him. He was being selfish again. Instead of seeing she needed him, even if she pushed him away, she just went away instead of putting her needs above his own. "Let's hope she will let you stay with her. She needs the energy." He tightened his jaw, annoyed. He should be able to do something. "I need to do something. This has been going on for long enough," he stated and took a step back. He needed to figure something out, anything that could help getting Reggie back.

Jamie watched Theo as he took of his best friend. "I know. She is usually so angry. I'm really worried about her," he said an sat down on the bed next to her. He took her hand, not sure what he expected it would do. Just in case she could feel something, she wanted her to know he was here. "I should have been here," he whispered, looking at Theo. "I'm the worst friend," he sighed looking back at Mariella.

He listened to Jamie and Lion and closed his eyes for a small second. "Would you two just shut up for a moment?" he wasn't usually the snapping at people, but he had grown tired of people always blaming themselves for everything going wrong. He looked first at Lion and then at Jamie.
"Are you waiting for me to disagree with either of you, because I wont," he kept looking at them in turns before sighing.
"Something isn't going to fix anything. We can't fix everything, but we can try to make it better. Step by step," he suggested. "It's like you both have forgotten what we are.. we are bloody serpents guys. We have a code a law, so start fucking use it - because you have done nothing but breaking it the last months," he added. Theo tensed his jaw, trying to calm himself down again.
"This is bigger than all of us and in unity there is strength and as my grandmother always says; get knocked down, get back up." He looked back at Mariella and sighed again. He hated how many scars everyone in the mansion had by now - because he knew how long time it could take for them to just heal a little bit.
