Can you hear me//Blake and Demetris

[natalia]

Natalia sat up in a tree as she spent her time thinking. She had been with Lucifer and Marcia for a very long time and she met many on their travels. She also met a few boys that she had crushes on but she ended up killing them as they pushed with her. She met Demetris before when she was with her grandfather, mother and uncle before she ended back up with Skylar and his crew. She had only met him a few times and she never directly spoke to him and in the course of the year she found out about her brother, found her place at the haven, and fought her own right to be seen even though she was still brushed aside from everyone. But now she heard that Demetris was returning and was going to be hanging around the haven. She did have a crush on him back then but she didn’t do anything with it and figured he didn’t even notice her.

She glanced around to ensure that she was still on her own out in the darkness with the wild life that moved around her as she relaxed. She started to wonder how her brother was doing. She knew that he was taking things semi-hard as she got her wish in the d*mn woman that he was interested in the previous year died. But she also knew that she couldn’t share her exact feelings towards her brother over the woman. She did want to be there for him but she didn’t know how or if he would even accept her company and help. She did enjoy just listening to everyone speak. She always felt semi-useful. She might not ever have a lot to say but then she also figured they didn’t ever give her a lot of credit.

She leaned back and looked out at the stars. She did enjoy them. She also wondered what some of it meant as she watched a few of the stars and the colors in the sky. She closed her eyes as she started to let her mind run free when she decided that she would see how her brother was really doing. She was enjoying the time away from the house and figured that it was a great spot and with the nice stars out her brother would enjoy it. “Blake?” she called out softly. She wanted to see if he was still able to hear her.

Blake was sitting in his room when he heard her call “Natalia” he said suddenly as he got up jumping out the window he climbed down the house and looked around the last thing he needed was Aidan, Tristan or Skylar seeing him. Blake has been hiding from those three for a while now to scare to see them face to face and have them ask if he was okay. He didn’t want to lie to them and say he was when he really wasn’t; he got so close to Alia and fought so hard for her only to have her taken away from him. Through he had to wonder how Whisper was taken her sister’s death. He had not seen her so he had no idea if it affected her.

Moving quickly yet slowly though the woods he tried to shake Alia out of his head he knew his sister was happy about the girl being gone and part of him hated that Natty was so happy with it when he felt as if he was dying all over again. True Alia was giving him the run around but deep down when they were alone she loved him and he knew it and loved her back but maybe just a little bit too much. He was not going to tell anyone but he really wanted to die.

Stopping at the edge of the woods and the beginning of the forest he sighed did he really want to go do this he was sure she was going to ask if he was alright and he could not lie, but at this point he was willing to try. Picking up his pace he continued on his way not wanting to worry her any for being late jumping in a tree he turned and looked at his sister, “Hey there. You called?”

Demetris Davenport had been away long enough, he was not one to stay alone for too long and this was about the time he would join up with one of his brothers or sisters but he could not find Chase, Angelus or Izzy anywhere and he really didn’t want go to Jasper even though they were twins they were two different and Demetris hated it. Plus Jasper was just too wild and crazy for Deme; Demetris was the calm and quiet one. Going home to Skylar was really all he could do but there was one good thing about that and that was that Natalia Blackwell was there and he really liked that amazing girl. When he heard about the death of Marcia he came back around and watched her from a far to make sure that she was doing okay. He was very protective of her and knew of her fear of men and stay as far away as he could so that he didn’t scare her.

Ever since the first day he saw her at Marcia place he wanted to be with her but knew better. He had never tried so hard in his life to get someone to trust him the way that he started to do with Natty, sadly for him he had to leave before he could see if she really did trust him. Moving though the forest towards the haven he suddenly stopped as he heard the sweet voice of the girl he was just thinking about. Following her scent he came across the darling girl and her brother.

Demetris sat back in a tree not to close to be seen but if you were really on top of your game you could pick out his scent but he doubted that they would know it was him. He really didn’t want to mess up a family moment so he remained back for now; it was not like he was leaving right away anyway he had all the time in world to see her.

Natalia relaxed near the tree as she waited for her brother. She knew that he heard her it was only a matter of time. She was happy about how things turned out but she also knew that her brother was really hurting over everything. She tried not to show her happiness around him but she knew that she was caught a few times. She also learned that she couldn’t always share her thoughts either. She felt incredibly horrible the few times he caught her celebrating in the loss of his girlfriend from the war. She wanted to take the chance to try and listen to her brother to be there and help him better then she had been.

She smiled when she heard his pleasant voice. She looked to him and moved to hug him. She clung to her brother. “How are you?” she asked softly. “I’ve been worried about you, Blake and I wanted to apologize.” She explained. “I was only worried about you with her and I should be helping you and there for you through these hard times. She was the woman who swept you away but there was something about her that made you feel free. But there was a distance. Between time and space... there was a light in her eyes that wasn’t for you just as the one you had for her-its fates. All your I love yous was not enough to survive. She had a choice. She knew that Skylar would have taken her in and protected her. That if she fought with us she’d still be alive. You’re path lays with family. She was welcomed and she turned it down.” She spoke softly as a tear rolled down her cheek. “But there is someone who likes you... but she’s afraid to show her feelings.”

She picked up a familiar scent but chose against following it as she wanted to remain with her brother. She looked back to the stars as she curled up to her brother. “You have a right to be happy. She wouldn’t want you to be unhappy. You looking into her eyes, where the feelings much too strong for either of you not to try...and even though you both lost that chance; you’d still have all those nights.” She pulled away some from her brother as she looked to the stars and the waxing moon, “See we've all been broken down by empty promises...Like a sky without a star....And I’m sure you've been having doubts that you could feel again But I believe that you’ll in love again. She wouldn’t want you to give up.” She said as she finally turned to look her brother in the eyes as showing that she shed a few tears herself. “Brother, my brother, don’t give up. I know it hurts and I know it’s hard. But don’t give up.”

[blake]

Blake hugged her tightly he felt like sh*t that he was hiding and not being around her to listen and help her with things she needed help with. He was starting to feel like a bad brother for only thinking of him and not others especially his sister Natty. Shaking his head his mind became clear as he zoned back in to all that Natty was saying but he really didn’t want to listen to how sorry she was or that she was a bad person and that Natty knew it would not have worked out. He just was not in the mood for that sh*t. “Natalia please don’t…. I just don’t want to hear that there was something in her eyes or that she wasn’t for me right now” he said honestly as he held on to her and sat down leaning against a tree to rest.

His eyes closed as she continued and all he wanted to do was block his sisters words out of his head “Nat..please!” he almost shouted but calmed himself he didn’t want to yell at his sister but he just could not take hearing about Alia again it hurt too much to continuously hear about how much no one liked her because all it did was make him feel stupid for loving her so much. Wiping away her tears he looked at her and frowned a little “Don’t cry none of this is your fault Natty and one day I’ll get pasted this and be okay but right now I just don’t even want to think about getting with someone else because there is only one person I can safely love and know I will never get hurt” he stopped for a minute and looked up at the sky “And sister that person is you” he said as he loved her like a brother should but also knew that it was not time to love another girl or call anyone his love. He was to scared that he was going to lose her so he is better off with not loving anyone like that and staying single.

Blake watched his sister and let a small smile cross his lips he couldn’t believe he was about to say this to her but maybe she was right and he would feel that way again about another. He looked at the sky and then looked back at his sister. “Hey Nat why don’t you play match maker this time so that I know you are happy with the next girl? That why there will be no problem he smiled hoping that it would make Natalia’s day to be able to match him up with someone she liked. “I promise to give anyone you choice a fair chances” he added so she would know that he would try and not give up.

“Enough about me..Do you have any crushes or anyone that has a crush on you?”

Demetris listened to all that was said between the two and smiled she must be so happy to have her brother back. He was there for some of the nights that she cried and called to him; Demetris started to wonder if Blake ever heard her deciding to ask Aidan or maybe Tristan about it later he was curious on how close their connection was and if it was anything like his and Jasper’s or even Yumiko and Yuriko’s. Leaning against the tree he looked at the stars; what a beautiful night he would love to be here with Natty but knew better than to interrupt this family time.

Deme was a quiet boy never one to be rude or mean in less he was pushed to his breaking point, coming back here was not his choice they had to get Clary back to Skylar and fast things for her got really hard and she needed her sire around to help her through it. Her new ability was scaring her and it happened so randomly that it was hard to control her. Looking around he could hear someone calling his name. “Izzy” he whispered as he knew it was her she had been looking for him seen she saw Jasper around the haven.

Smiling he jumped out of the tree and knelt on the dirty as he dug a hole and whispered something and watched the ground take the box he hoped that she would like the necklace and matching bracelet he got in Rome; when he saw it he thought of her and had to get it for her. Knowing it would pop up in front of them he turned and started to move back to the haven. “I’m coming Izzy…I’m coming” he whispered in the wind as he decided not to break up the family reunion the two were having.

Natalia smiled as she leaned against her brother but the smile soon faded as she listened to him. She didn’t want to upset her or make matters worse. She didn’t know how to reach her brother but she did know that just locking himself up in the room and ignoring everyone around him was not good or healthy for any of them. She thought about everything that had gone through their lives and she just didn’t know how to talk to him or reach him some times. She thought that just with her being alive and with him was enough to help him and pull him back up like he use to be. She didn’t know what to say to him as he just sat there.

She glanced Blake semi-surprised at his almost shout. She blinked a few times before she quickly looked away and down. She knew that she had crossed the line. She understands and she knew what it felt like to lose some one. “Blake, You have the right idea but you’re going about it all wrong.” She said, “I’ve lost Mom, Marcia, Marcus, Lucifer... All I meant is that there were a lot of things...but love is blinding and sitting up, locked away in your room is not moving on or getting pa*sed it.” She stated. She glanced to him as she listened to him. She knew that above her he was thinking of Alia but saying her. She looked away and down at the ground. “And I’m only crying because the situations might be different but the pain of losing someone you love is the same. You sided with everyone when I lashed out and you tried to control me when I found out that my Marcia mama, and Marcus died the same with grandpapa...” she said trailing off. “I won’t do to you what everyone done to me...I said my peace, I said my apology, I said my I love you to you and that I’d listen to you if you want to talk. I’m trying and I’m also saying that being hurt is one thing but locking yourself away is something completely different...don’t treat me like I don’t know! Stop pushing away your family over this girl because no one understands. Everyone understands Blake. Skylar, Whisper, Aidan, Tristan, Chase, Angelus, Demetris, Jasper, Izzy, Kita, Yumiko, Yuriko... myself... We’ve all been there! We’ve all felt the loss. Stop treating all of us as if you are the only one who has ever felt that way!” she said as she moved from his grasp and climbed the tree. “We all understand. We’ve all been there. We’ve all done silly and stupid things out of love... we do those because we love! But you’re not the only person who has ever felt that way, done those things, wished the same things you wish!” she said in a louder tone but trying so hard not to shout or yell. She wasn’t sure if she had been speaking to him about everything or if she was speaking more on herself as she thought about her family and the loss of those she cherished most.

Looking to Blake she blinked in surprise as he asked her to play match maker. “Why?” she questioned. “The only person I would suggest is Izzy Cheshire. Chase, Angelus, Demetris, and Jasper’s sister... and you always yell at me when I try to set you up and you tell me that you don’t like any of the girls that’s in our own coven... so it’s not even worth it.” She said before looking to the moon. She heard his question about any crushes she had. She did have one but she wasn’t sure if she was even up for talking about it right now.

Some part of her wanted to tell Blake all about this one boy, Demetris that she met when she was with her Marcia-mama, Marcus, and grandpapa-Lucifer. She gazed out at the stars deciding that maybe right now wasn’t the right time. She would tell her brother soon enough but for now, she didn’t want to say anything.
