Chel flinched as Nero's hand shot out and gripped her arm, and shuddered as his thumb ran against her neck. She jerked as he kept talking about her dad, each word seemed to dig under her skin. "I'm not the only one who knows you have her...and if I don't come back Naveen will be the least of your problems. You let me go and I won't tell Naveen that you have Nita here." She said quietly as she stared up at him with her eyes still a bright red. She pulled herself free with a growl as she glared up at him, "So if I were you, I'd get out of my way." She continued as she straightened.
Nita woke up to raised voices and feeling a little nauseated. Nero wasn't in the bed next to her, and at first she felt some relief until she heard Chel's raised voice. Absolute dread coiled in her stomach and she pushed herself up out of her bed. Her body was a little shaky due to not having gotten enough sleep and how queasy she currently felt. "Well don't you look like shit?" Nita froze as she heard that voice and glanced over her shoulder to see Ruby leaning against the window. She waved mockingly at Nita, "Long time no see." She said as she pushed herself away from the window and approached Nita. "You know, this feels a little familiar wouldn't you agree?" She asked once she grew close to Nita. Her eyes studied Nita's swollen belly with a raised eyebrow, "Hard to believe dear little Nero cares so much about those little ingrates. He really has grown soft hasn't he?" She asked with a dark look in her eyes, and before Nita could stop her she rested her hand on Nita's stomach. "Get your hand off." Nita growled as her eyes turned a dark gold. Ruby grinned at the sight, "There it is...you know your species is rare indeed. I can see why Nero wants to have children by you, even if it means you won't make it." Seeing Nita's expression she laughed, "Oh I'm sure you've already felt the signs...you know as well as I do that your chances of surviving your pregnancy are slim to none. How must that feel? Watching everyone you love ostracize you as you come closer and closer to your own death? Hell I've even seen how Nero has been studying your darling niece, it won't be long before he forgets his promise. Why it'll be just like Naveen with me...why I can only imagine how trapped you must feel. How out of control everything has become, then again you've only ever been mistreated your entire life. It's not like anyone will care what happens to you in the end, although I'll make sure to comfort Naveen for you." She said leaning forward as she said this so they were nearly eye to eye. Before she could stop herself, Nita punched Ruby in the face causing her to fall back with a yelp. Nita stood up then, "Your words are poison." She hissed down at her before she brushed past her. Ruby's eyes turned a frightening white and Nita froze in place, "Not so fast hun I have unfinished business with Nero and you are going to be my little game piece." She said as she moved behind Nita, her hand resting against Nita's stomach. "Let's walk out there and see what your dear old dad is up too shall we?" She whispered in Nita's ear, before she forced Nita outside and to the top of the stairs. "Nero...still playing around I see." Ruby commented as if discussing the weather as she stepped from behind Nita and blew a kiss down at Nero.

Nero growled at Chel and grabbed her arm again. He threw her body onto the ground so she landed on her back and his hounds growled with excitement. His gaze darkened and he stepped towards her, his foot resting on her chest and pressed down as he added pressure. "I would prefer it if you didn't threaten me with those friends of yours. You wouldn't want them to get hurt now would you?" He grinned and just as he was about to let his hounds have their fun with her, he heard a familiar voice and looked up to see Ruby and Nita poised at the top of the stairs. "What the fuck are you doing here Ruby?" He rolled his eyes in annoyance and stepped away from Chel, leaving her lying on the floor.

Chel grunted as Nero threw her onto the ground, "I'm pretty sure I could handle you just fine." She growled as he pressed his foot down on her chest. Her eyes widened though when she saw Nita and an unfamiliar blonde woman at the top of the stairs. "Aunt Nita!" She called in relief, a part of her had actually worried that her grandpa had just been lying to her. To actually see her alive and well made her feel relieved, "You're ok!" She all but sobbed as Nero moved his foot so she could finally sit up and move forward. Before she could run up the stairs though, the blonde woman held up her hand and Chel froze in place. "Oops sorry darling, but I don't want any interruptions." Ruby said with a wide smile before she turned to look down at Nero. "I came here to get my payment, I did help you after all." She pointed out as she pressed her other hand rather threateningly against Nita's stomach. "Of course I could just take what I want, but where's the fun in that?" She asked coyly as she smirked down at Nero.

Nero growled in annoyance at Chel, not at all surprised how Ruby had treated her. He snapped his fingers and sent his hounds away to their rooms before turning his attention back to the women. The moment she threatened Nita, his gaze darkened and he sneered. "I said she doesn't get hurt so don't you dare use that threat against me." He took a step towards Chel and smoothed a strand of hair from her face, his fingertips tracing along her neck. "So what will it be? Money, sex, or would you want this little child? I will warn you, she is quite a handful. Or would you rather have Naveen himself? I'd say that would be a fair price, you'd actually be doing me another favor." Nero grinned and ran his hand down Chel's body before he stepped towards the stairs and looked up at the blonde woman.

Ruby chuckled at Nero's words, "You know that she's not worth my time. As for Naveen, I could just have my fun with him anyway...no what I want is a lot more complicated then all that." She said as she glanced at Nita with a considering expression, "I want her...I promise you'll get your beloved twins when she gives birth but I think it would be a little fun having her around." She said and pressed her lips against Nita's neck, making Nita jerk in response. "Besides I helped snatch her away for you, the least I should get is some time with her. I want to know what makes her so special to you and Naveen anyway." She continued, her lips running along Nita's neck until she bit down on her earlobe. Chel seemed like she was hardly paying Nero any attention as his hand ran along her body, her eyes widened at Ruby's request. "Stay the hell away from my aunt you bitch!" She snarled, struggling to free herself. "So Nero, are you going to pay up? Or am I going to have to take her by force?" Ruby asked as she smiled at Nero.

Nero stopped in his tracks at Ruby's request and his gaze darkened. "What could you possibly want with her? You can't expect me to let you take her while my children are still inside her. So no, no deal. Nita was never part of the deal and you know it. Anyone else is fine but not her." He growled and finished making his way up the stairs until he stood right before Ruby. Nero dropped his gaze down towards Nita, his fingertips lightly grazing her stomach. "Though after these children are born..that's another story. Give her one year with them and then she's yours. She will live, don't worry about that. I'll make sure she does." He caressed Nita's hair before flicking his gaze back to Ruby. "That is my final offer. Take it or leave it." Nero's eyes flashed white as a warning, letting Ruby know that he wasn't playing around.

Ruby smirked at him as he approached, "Well I would have thought you'd say otherwise...very well I accept." She said with an even wider grin as she smiled down at Nita before she released her. "Pleasure doing business with you Nero." She all but purred before she disappeared. As soon as she was gone, Nita pushed herself away from Nero with an unreadable look on her face. "Chel, you should go." She said calmly as Chel moved towards her side. Chel glanced over at Nero and then back at Nita with a small frown, "Ok." She said quietly moving to hug Nita before she ran outside. As soon as she was gone, Nita glanced back at Nero with a small frown. "So I'm to be sold off again? I'll hardly even get to know my own children....what kind of a life is that?" She demanded with tears shining in her eyes.

Nero growled in annoyance once Ruby left and stepped back from Nita when she shoved him away. He ignored Chel and pushed past both women, retreating back to his bedroom. His hands rifled through the drawers and pulled out a handful of Nita's clothes. Though at her words, he stopped and glanced over his shoulder at her. "Stop it. That was all an act. Did you think I'd let her take you? I at least bought you another year to fix this." He never should have sought help from Ruby, after all they had been through together he knew how she operated but he had been so caught up in his own revenge that it never crossed his mind...much like Naveen must have. "Now I need to hide you. With everyone knowing where you are, Ruby will find you for sure."

"You should have thought of that before you made a deal with her!" Nita snapped and ran a hand through her hair, "I can't stay hidden away forever Nero...she won't be happy if you don't pay up on your end of the bargain." She pointed out quietly as she rested a hand on her stomach. "Out of all the people you could have made a deal with, you chose her." She muttered under her breath. It was as if Ruby knew exactly how to make all the men in her family crazy. All of her deals were centered on other things as well, Nita bit down on her bottom lip as she struggled to calm herself down. "Why was Chel here?" She asked after a moment, needing to take her mind off of the blonde white-eyed demon. Chel had been all geared up as if ready to fight and Nero had looked ready to give her just that. Her hand ran around her collarbone where her opal necklace used to dangle...she missed it's comforting weight and presence. Just like with everything else though Nero had taken that from her too, and not for the first time she wished she could see Naveen.

Nero spun to look at her with his eyes blazing. "I need those children Nita and if she took you right now, they would have died along with you. I knew that and that's why I bought you at least another year to raise them and maybe I can kill that bitch before the times comes for her to take you away." Though when she mentioned Chel, he sighed and crossed his arms. "She figured out I took you and it seems like she's not the only one. That damn dragon girl must have been suspicious and poked her nose where she shouldn't have. Naveen seems to be the only one who doesn't know." When he saw the confused look on her face, he waved a hand toward the fireplace and flames rose up in a flurry. Inside of the flames were images, flashbacks of that night. Naveen cradling Nita's body in his arms, yelling at anyone that tried to take her away from him. The moment when Eric had to pry him away so the body could be taken and Naveen just lashed and lashed until he fell into a helpless heap on the floor. Then it showed his outburst during her funeral, the destruction all around him and then images of him just staring out the window for days at a time. When he and Chel clung together as she sobbed into his chest, the bloody chain from her necklace dangling from his fingertips once more as they grieved. "He thinks you're dead Nita. That was the only way to keep him from interfering any longer and I needed Ruby's help for that."

Nita blinked as she stared at the images coming in through the fire. Tears fell down her face as she saw Naveen mourning her death, "No....what have you done?" She whispered as she saw Naveen clutching the necklace which now had blood clinging to the chain. She staggered backward, her face becoming deathly pale as she looked at Nero. "I made a deal with you...and you did all this for your stupid revenge? How could you?" Her breath came in short and fast before she whirled around and ran out the door. There had to be some way she could reach Naveen and tell him that she was still alive. She wouldn't be able to stand herself if Naveen continued to mourn her, never realizing the truth. Then again Nero wouldn't let her leave and she paused at the top of the stairs as this realization sank in. Her whole body crumpled as she collapsed, shaking with sobs. She had tried so hard to give Nero what he wanted, but each and every time she tried he did something like this.

Nero sighed and walked out of the room beside Nita, not even bothering to get all huffy and chase after her. He saw her body crumbled at the top of the stairs, just like he knew she would be. She knew she couldn't get away from him and he was grateful that she realized it now before running off into the woods like last time. He knelt down beside her and gripped her chin, forcing her head up to look at him. "Your deal broke when you ran love. The moment you went out that door, you sealed your fate as well as his. I told you I would come for those children however I did not say when or how." He pulled away from her and made his way downstairs to grab a drink. "Maybe Chel is right, I am nothing more than a cold, heartless bastard. You tried to change that but now it seems like you've failed. I don't even know why I'm bothering trying to hide you. By this time next year, you'll be sick of me and hell, that bastard of a son I have may have killed himself from the looks of it. Maybe I should just give you to Ruby and my life will be peaceful once again." He growled and turned to look at her over his shoulder.

Nita's body shook as Nero spoke, at the thought of Naveen dead her eyes widened. When he gripped her chin, she shuddered but didn't look away from him. She wasn't entirely sure what to say, on the one hand she knew Nero was right...and then on the other. "Maybe you should...all I've ever done is mess everything up." She muttered under her breath once she managed to calm herself down somewhat. "I would have gone with you when the children were born...I can't lose them Nero. I would have missed Naveen, but our children...I couldn't abandon them not ever." She said quietly as she struggled to get into a standing position. Her body shook once she was fully upright, "But if Naveen is trying to kill himself, he needs to know I'm alive. I promise I won't run away with him...I just can't let him believe I'm dead. Not when I'm alive...if I talk to him I can promise you he won't try and rescue me again. I made a deal with you Nero, and I'll keep that promise." She said firmly as her whole body straightened. "We can start over again, I'm willing to try and make this work." It was hard for her to say, but she knew it was her only real option.

Nero stopped and turned to look at her, his body resting lazily on the railing of the staircase. "He would do it anyway and you know it. Look what happened last time you were away. He nearly drugged himself to death, destroyed every relationship he ever had because he lost his precious little sister. Do you really think that if he finds out you're alive, he's just going to stand by and watch you get thrown around and to Ruby none the less? No, he's going to fight tooth and nail to save you and that damn child of his." Nero showed obvious disgust in his last words and his lips twisted into a frown. "You didn't think you could keep that little detail a secret now did you?" His gaze darkened as he took a few steps back up towards her. "I've known for a while now, that one of those little bastards is his. Why else did you think I made sure your 'body' wasn't pregnant when I faked your death? If he had a child to hold on to, it would grow up just like him. Thirsty for revenge and not resting until he gets it. I can see that in Chel and quite frankly, I don't want another one of her running around." He frowned and stopped only a few steps away from her and ran his fingers over the railing, his gaze following them as if he was thinking. "Although that would be a little twist. His child raised with mine, that sounds like all sorts of fun. If your death doesn't tear him down, maybe his own child will." Nero looked at her, amusement sparking in his eyes once more. If Naveen wouldn't die after this, he could raise that boy's child to do it for him. "Oh the irony of that...being killed by his own child. It was almost too good."

Nita felt a little faint as he brought up Naveen's child, "I was going to tell you." She said quietly as she leaned against the railing to help keep herself upright. "Please don't use my child like that...I couldn't bear it if you used it like that." Her body trembled at the very thought of her unborn child harming Naveen. Then again, what use was it in trying to convince Nero to listen to her? He always did what he wanted, whether she wanted him too or not. Her other hand moved to rest on her stomach as she struggled not to cry. The thought that Nero would use her child to harm Naveen scared her. She swayed a little on her feet as she tried not to collapse yet again. "If you use my child for your own ends...then you'll lose me forever. I cannot love you if you keep this up...I want to make you happy Nero, but I don't want my children to become monsters." She said flatly as she stared at Nero.
