It's been months since Olivia and Brianna decided to take their trip over seas. Olivia was going to spread the ashes of her late teacher and mentor, Leola Owens. Her teacher had been attacked on the street outside of her book store. It had been her last wish to have her ashes spread across several continents and Olivia decided to take on that request since Leola didn't have much of a family.

When word got out that Olivia was taking this trip, Brianna decided to offer her family's jet since she had inside information that Olivia's family was having finical problems but that wasn't the only reason why Brianna decided to come along. Brianna wanted to get out of the city. Her family was having problems and Brianna's love life was in a very confused state.

The two girls were about to head off when the school decided they couldn't just skip out of school and everything would be peachy again. The school assigned the girls a tutor to keep up on school work, Ms. Phoebe Goodwin. Ms. Goodwin was also friends with Leola so it was her way of saying goodbye to her friend.

The three set off across the world. They made stops in Egypt, China and all across Europe. It was when the girls stopped it Ireland, they picked up Nathan. Nathan is Brianna's cousin and a bit of a trouble maker like she is and that's what got him kick out of his house and set across the seas with the girls.

The Ackart family jet flew over New York's skyline. Olivia looked out the window to see the night sky across the city. All of the lights from the city illuminated the sky. It was a wonderful sight to see from the plane. Olivia felt a soft tap on her shoulder. She removed her headphones (which she had in to block Nathan's voice out). It was Ms. Goodwin.

Ms. Goodwin smiled down at Olivia "We will be landing in a moment. I called your mom so she knows you are coming back." Olivia nodded in thanks. Everyone was stirring in their seats. Spending hours in a plane just made everyone restless. Olivia turned to Brianna who was sitting next to her. Brianna took off her headphones and gave Olivia a lazy grin.

"Are you ready for this?" Brianna asked Olivia.
Olivia thought about the answer as she glanced outside the window again.
"Is anyone ever ready for The Parthenon?"
Nathan had apparently been listening in, no big surprise there as he cut into their conversation.
"pssh! what's the big deal? Just a bunch of stuck up snobs. I say just turn the water on them and let the witches burn"
Brianna and Olivia gave a knowing glance and started to chuckle. Nathan didn't know anything about their secret and they were definitely going to keep it from him.

The jet touched down on the runway and landed. Slowly they got up from their seats and headed out of the jet. The four of them walked down the tunnel to the airport.

[callie monair]

Oh my god She was back

Callie jumped in the taxi as soon as she got the text on her phone. "Drive. JFK." Her eyes franticly looked above the meter and the driver to see the crowded road. "Dammit." She murmured, brushing back a stray piece of hair that had fallen from her clip.

Olivia...she was really back. The meer thought of her return was something of a miracle because Callie's memory faded from--from what happened, but Olivia was the one person who she would forever remembered. Callie had done horrible things, worse things that could possibly destory Bries friendship, but...Olivia was loyal and who could forget that.

The traffic was moving slowly, but surely and then within 30 minutes they were a few miles away. Excitement built and built with in her body until she was about to explode. As soon as the taxi hit the brakes outside, Callie jerked the car open almost pulled her skirt off, but she dashed off, throwing a hundred dollar bill at the driver. All of JFK International Airport flashed before her eyes, her breath in short lasps. She then came to a screeching halt at the baggage and saw in the near distance, a familar face...more like a few.

"OLIVIA!..wait..Brie?"

OUTFIT

[olivia landon]

Olivia just couldn't believe that she was back home. She couldn't believe how much she missed it. Traveling the world had been wonderful but it was nothing compared to being home. She would get to see her family in just moments though when she got off the tunnel from the plane and entered the main part of JFK, she didn't see anyone. Her excitement slowly dimmed as she didn't see anyone waiting for her. Ms. Goodwin came up behind her.
"Don't worry. They are waiting for you at home since I told them Brianna would be taking you home. "
"Oh okay. " Olivia smiled and put on a good front. She really wanted at least one person waiting for her at the airport.

Olivia, Brianna , Nathan and Ms. Goodwin walked through JFK to head outside where Brianna's town car would take them all home. The airport was buzzing with people heading to and from their flights. Olivia almost didn't hear Callie's voice calling through the crowd.

"OLIVIA!..wait..Brie?" Olivia's head snapped up from staring at the ground. Her friend lit up as she saw Callie through the crowd.

"Callie!" Olivia called and ran toward her friend. She immediately threw her arms around Callie, hugging her tightly. She was so happy to see someone waiting for her. She stepped away from the hug and looked over her friend. The girls had gone through a lot right before Olivia and Brianna left for their trip. Olivia knew Callie had went through a lot with her transformation into being a vampire, but Olivia still believed her friend was in there. Olivia eyed Brianna as she stepped up behind her.

Brianna paused behind Olivia as she looked over at Callie. Brianna remained cautious when dealing with Callie. She still wasn't use to being around vampires. There was something unnatural with a reanimated corpus though it was extremely hard to think of Callie as one. Brianna took in Callie's surprise expression from seeing her.

"Surprise to see me? Thought I would stay over seas? "

Nathan had been standing near Ms. Goodwin as they went through JFK. He had been trying hard to sweet talk the teacher but to no luck. His short attention span was taken off of Ms. Goodwin when his cousin and her friend went to greet another girl. The blond vixen they were talking to just grabbed his attention and dangled it in front of his face. Nathan strolled toward the girls.
"Why hello there sexy" Nathan says to Callie in his thick Irish accent.
"What a way to welcome a poor lass like me to the land of freedom and I'm ready to explore my new found freedom with you wherever you like. This includes the nearest loo. " Nathan gives Callie a sly grin and a wink. Brianna on the other wasn't finding her cousin's talking amusing and so elbowed him in the stomach. Nathan hunched over and gave Brianna an evil look.

[callie monair]

Callies face lit up, a genuine smile and for once she felt alive. She hugged Olivia tightly and squeezed careful not to hurt her and then when Olivia stopped, beside her was Brianna. She could smell the fear and wanted to shrink back and just run...but running was something she never did, and now won't make a difference.

"Surprise to see me? Thought I would stay over seas?"

Callie tried to hide her surprise, but failed hopelessly. She flustered herself, but places a hand on her hip and smirked at Brie. "Kind of. I figured you found some Italin models and did with what you pleased...but I should know that even they can't hold you, Brie," she winked, holding her poise.

Thought after thought ran through her head, every single one a command to attack Brie in happiness, but her eyes...they weren't welcoming, not from her point of view anyway. Her eyes connected with Bries and she tried to nod a silence agreement of peace until she saw the very interesting person walk in beside Brie.

"Why hello there sexy"

Huh, hes something you don't see everyday, not with a voice like that. Definatly from the United Kingdom...probably Ireland or Northen Scotland, but looking like who would care.

"What a way to welcome a poor lass like me to the land of freedom and I'm ready to explore my new found freedom with you wherever you like. This includes the nearest loo. "

Callie couldn't help, but laugh. Who is this guy? Brie had good taste, but--no she got him in the ribs never mind. Pursing her lips, looked at Brie with a helpful grin. "Who is this?" Her curiousty was practicly biting at her.

[brianna ackart]

"Kind of. I figured you found some Italin models and did with what you pleased...but I should know that even they can't hold you, Brie," Brianna tried to suppress a smile but a ghost of one appeared on her lips. It was going to be hard to try and ignore Callie since she had been Brianna's friend for years now. Out of all the girls in the group, Callie was the most like Brianna out of all of them.
"Italian models? Please... You know I have better tastes than that." the corners of her mouth perked up into a grin but quickly faded when her cousin came up behind them.
Brianna gritted her teeth while he spoke to Callie ...more like tried to hook up with her. She elbowed him in the stomach to shut him up.
"Jesus cous...that really hurt!" Nathan said as he stood bent over to catch his breathe.
""Who is this?"
"No one..." Brianna answered
"His name is Nathan." Olivia spoke up.
"Thank you, little lamb" Nathan started calling little lamb just because of how soft spoken she was. Olivia shook her head at the nickname. She didn't mind the nickname though there was no reason for him to call her little since they were pretty close to being the same height.
Nathan placed his arm around Brianna. "oh come on cousin, you can't hide me away. People are bound to find out we are related. The accents are a dead give away. Now are you going to introduce me to this lovely creature" He was referring to Callie, whom he kept giving seductive glances to.
"Get off of me before I knock you out. Brianna waited for Nathan to move away from her before she spoke again.
"Callie, this is Nathan. Nathan ...Callie. Please don't get use to him. I don't want him to think he is welcomed here."
Nathan ignored his cousin and instead took Callie's hand and kissed it. Brianna slapped his arm. "That's call sexual harassment here!"

[callie monair]

Callie laughed, but not really at anything. The feeling of seeing them was...so uplifting, it for a few seconds that she was human again. "Italian models? Please... You know I have better tastes than that." Callie grinned, but something held back the laugh. It was Brianna...how foolish Callie was to think that it could be like old times. The busy airport was only a backdrop to us, it felt...right.

Olivia said the guy was named Nathan and maybe Ollie and this guy had something, but hot damn, he was charming. "oh come on cousin, you can't hide me away. People are bound to find out we are related. The accents are a dead give away. Now are you going to introduce me to this lovely creature" Wow, this guy is something, even the most cocky bastard in all of New York wouldn't dare, but this...he was something, probably cause he was part of Brianna's bloodline.

Callie enjoyed the two, she never got along with her brother and to see this scabbling between family members was something of fresh air especially considering the entertainment.

"Callie, this is Nathan. Nathan ...Callie. Please don't get use to him. I don't want him to think he is welcomed here."
She acknowleged Nathan with a bow of the head and a true grin. "I think he might have to get use to me" Come on Cal, let him alone. Her eyes swept over the 3 and she placed her hands on her hips. Alright Cal, think of something...a little something to bring back the old days.

Before she could propose her idea, Nathan took her hand and gently kissed it, but Brie obviously ended it. "That's call sexual harassment here!" Brie said, slapping him away. Cal grinned and quickly winked at him. "And its called chivalry, but thats dead so no loss." she put a arm around Olivia's shoulder and looked at the group. "How about we celebrate the great return with a little Drink?"

**OOC: sorry with the repeative names and the lousy writing, i wanted to get this down before i went to sleep

[nathan ackart]

"I think he might have to get use to me" Nathan grinned. He eyed the blond beauty up and down again.
"And you say that like that would be a hard thing to do." Nathan was just being honest. He figured if a woman was beautiful then you should just tell her and see where it goes. There was no sense in bottling up your feelings. Though his cousin might be a problem. He knew she wasn't happy with him tagging along to New York but then again if he didn't come with her then it would just be homeless in Ireland since his parents kicked him out. New York wasn't a bad option considering all the lovely American ladies he would be meeting.

He rubbed his arm where Brianna slapped him. He would probably get bruises from her but hey, he could use that for a sympathy vote for the ladies. Nothing like a bruised up puppy dog look to get the ladies' hands all over ya.

And its called chivalry, but thats dead so no loss'
"I can show you that its not dead yet" He was enjoying this little flirting match with Callie. He could tell the two of them were going to get along just fine away from his cousin of course.

Olivia smiled up at Callie, as she wrapped her arm around her. It felt like the old times and Olivia loved it.
How about we celebrate the great return with a little Drink?" Olivia just smiled and nodded.
"A girl who can drink...that's my kind of girl!"
"Any girl is your kind of girl..." Brianna corrected him. "But ya I could use a drink myself." Brianna tried to play it off cool but in all actuality she wanted to have a good time with her friends like they use to do. Brianna looked behind her at Ms. Goodwin and then back at the group.
"Let me tell Ms. Goodwin that she will be driving in a separate car." Brianna walked over to Ms. Goodwin and explained to her that they will be going elsewhere so she will have to take another car home. Brianna called her family's staff and told them to send another car for Ms. Goodwin.

When all was finished she rejoined the group and grinned. "Lets go have some fun!"

[callie monair]

Callies eyes swept over the guy trying to see his deal. Not many would be so outright, but those that are...well, who could be bored of them. Sadly one thing was stuck in her mind and that was Brie and she wasn't even willing to destory what little friendship they had sinking between them.

"I can show you that its not dead yet" She licked her lips trying to hide the image of him in her mind and if she controled her actions well enough, she could manage in the best discord. "Charming and truthful difficult to pull off. I suppose we'll see where it takes us" she winked, playfully wondering if he would bite...figuretivily of course.

The arise of agreement from Olivia made Callie practicly glow with happiness and especially when Brie and her Nathan agreed."A girl who can drink...that's my kind of girl!" Cal laughed and shrugged, showing it was no big deal..and sadly, Olivia and Brie knew that."Any girl is your kind of girl..." Brianna corrected him. "But ya I could use a drink myself." Taking her arm back from Olivia, she clapped her hands happily, but then Brie turned and started to talk to Mrs, Goodwin, huh I forgot she went...no wonder the school's been quiet.


"Let's go have some fun!" Brie said with a smile. Callie nodded, pulled her purse to her shoulder."The Red Lion is open a few miles away and its by Coney Island. I think that could be a exprience for your cousin, Brie" Be friendly and Dammit stop trying so hard, she screamed in her head.

[nathan ackart]

Nathan was reading all kinds of flirtatious vibes coming off of Callie. He was going to enjoy America if this place was filled with girls like Callie. Girls back home would flirt at times but for the most part they were pretty stiff. Nathan liked his girls full of life and excitement; he could tell already that Callie was both of those things.

The group agreed to going to the Red Lion. Nathan wasn't quite sure was to expect of the place and so was just along for the ride. Brianna's family car was spacious but she didn't want to take any chances with Nathan getting too close with Callie and so she opted to sit between the two love birds. Brianna probably wouldn't have cared so much if Callie and Nathan hooked up if it wasn't for his big mouth. If anything did happen between the two then she would most certainly hear about it from Nathan.

Olivia sat on Callie's other side. "So tell me , Cal, did we miss anything while we were away?" Olivia figured Callie would be the one person that would have the latest news on what's been happening at the Parthenon.

[callie monair]

Callie's eyes swept over Nathan's trying to figure him out. Great eyes, cute haircut, brillant accent, but bold and blunt--Seems like I have a new project. Callie watched Brie and the others head to her car and while she found a seat a lounged, she half expected Nathan to come and sit next to her, but instead Brie nestled beside.

Of course, Brie was amazing to be sitting next to, a chance to talk to her...even if for a little while, but the disappoint on his face was princless. She turned to Brie, grinning, trying not to catch Nathan's eyes. "So tell me, Cal. What did we miss while we were away?"

Callie put a finger to her chin thinking. What did they miss...due to her new illness of sorts, getting out wasn't her first option. "Well--Alice Morris 11th year is pregnant again. Mr.D is up to his usual tricks, Alex has been trying her best to shy away from danger since last time, Ville is fine, last time I heard, Olivia...and for the life of me, thats all I can remember"

[brianna ackart]

Olivia nodded as she listened to Callie. The first two bits of news were kinda predictable; some people never change but when the news turned to Alex, Olivia's ears perked up. "Alex? Hows she doing? Is she alright? " [/b] Olivia hadn't heard anything new about her friend in months.
Brianna listened in on all the latest news from the Parthenon but all she cared about was one person at the Parthenon, whom Callie failed to mention. "What about Tristan?" Brianna asked in a quieter voice than she is known for. She cared deeply about Tristan though she now didn't know where she stood with him.
"Oh who's Tristan? Is he the reason why you didn't notice any of the guys while you were visiting? I swear it was like your eyes and legs were sewn shut for the entire trip" Nathan commented. Brianna replied by hitting him. She was starting to think that he liked to be hit.

[callie monair]

Callie placed on a grin for Olivia and looked at her lap, pretending to be distracted. "Well, Alex is peachy. I mean shes a bit different cause of what happened, but--yeah, shes fine" Expect she likes her friends guy and she walked in on her best friend and her Dad, but we'll let that thought pass.

Her face darkened when Brie asked about Tristan. Why, why of all the people she had to ask about him, how could...no don't think that. "He's great, I mean thats what it seemed like last time we talked..I mean not tal-Hes good, not with anyone..or anything"

Akward.

Things seemed a little worse with Nathan's comment, no wonder it seemed like she wasn't with anyone. Callie tried her best to get out of the conversation and looked to see they were parked at the bar. She stood and walked out the door, waiting. "Now lets coninute this reunion inside" Callie said, with a smirk motioning to the door.

[brianna ackart]

Brianna tried hard not to over think Callie's answer about Tristan. It wasn't like Brianna to be so hung up on a guy but Tristan just seemed to be different; the way he would look at her. No! she told herself and tried to shake it off. It was all good that Callie told her that Tristan wasn't seeing anyone but she was going to leave it at that. Brianna wasn't going to go hunt him down. I am Brianna Ackart. I don't go crawling to men. Men crawl to me!" she told herself with confidence.

The town car pulled into the parking lot of the Red Lion. One by one, each excited the car and made their way to the bar. Olivia linked arms with Callie while Nathan followed behind them. He wanted to check out the view from behind any way. Brianna was up front, paying off the bouncer to let under age drinkers into the bar. Money talks in this town and so the bouncer opened the door for them.

The bar had a very nice lushous red design to it with gold trimmings. Brianna found a round booth off to the side. They took their seats and this time it worked out that Nathan was sitting next to Callie, he planned it out while they were walking it. It was his first night in the states, he wasn't going to let his cousin ruin it. He got into the booth and pushed his luck by sitting very close to Callie; so close that their legs were touching and he could even smell her sweet perfume.

This time Brianna didn't notice much of Nathan's interaction with Callie since she was ordering her drink.
"Shots of tequila for the table and some bubbly." Her night was just starting. Olivia on the other hand wasn't quite sure what to order. She never did have a signal drink that she always ordered.
"Long Island Ice Tea?" The waiter just nodded.
"Whiskey"

[ville van tassel]

Love is the funeral of hearts

Ville didn't had so much spirit to hang out that night, since he knew his dear and lovely Ollie left him, well he didn't had so much idea of how was the fun, he was just there, like a zombie lying in his bed watching the sky, the night mostly, he wasn't very sure of where was his life, he only knew that he needed to have inspiration to kill, nothing more, at least he had a good memory and not all the painfull ones, when he knew Olivia he definitely went happy and forgot all the years of sorrow and pain, but why was he still thinking about her if he only knew that would hurt him the most, why? because she was the only pure thing he had in his life.

Knock knock, suddenly he thought he was going insane, did someone just say knock knock? behind his door? Yeah? he answered with a down voice, and what a surprise it was John, he thought he had left him too, he had what? 2 months with out see him? well he was glad john was back, 'missed me jerk?' ville laughed at johns tone of voice "You bet bitch". John smiled very pleasant of being with Ville he had missed him a lot and he felt a little guilty of letting him alone when he needed the most a friend, he still remembered that when Olivia left he offered him to travel with him to Paris, but when they where there, Ville just couldn't be there, not watching all those couples around, he went back to new York and john bet that he only trained 24/7, that would keep his mind busy and he wouldn't fell in depression, he just couldn't fell in that, no when NY was full of vampires.

"Wanna hang out? Lets drink Ville lets celebrate I'm here" John said with a kind voice, after all he really wanted to celebrate that he was in NY with his Best Buddie. Ville thought for a second, maybe a hang out would not be bad for him "Sure" ville said a little more animated.

Both went to the Red Lion, why? because all the others were full, and he really didn't wanted to see so much people, he wanted to be relaxed and he wanted to talk, not to hear the crowd's conversations. When they where there, the took sit and ordered for drinks, "2 beers please" john said.
Ville was wearing black jeans, with gray converse and a gray V shirt, of course he had his new leader jacket with 2 white strips in the arms, he was wearing his hair all natural and his eyes, well his eyes were very tired, he had trained with fury and intensity this months, and that made him look not that slim, he looked more strong. When the bartender gave them their drinks, Both raise them and said a funny 'cheers', both where glad that the old times went back.

Ville needed to do 'pi', he just nodded in the table and steeped out of there, he walked trough the people and when he touched for accident a girl, he went back his face to apologize, and what was his surprise, was he all hallucinating? was she? there was the most beautiful girl he had ever loved, Olivia. Ville just stood there looking her like if he were lost in her eyes, and so he was.

[callie monair]

Callie drummed her fingers against wooden top and motioned for the bartender. "I think I'll have a mudslide and if your out again, White Russian." She nodded and looked over at Nathan. "So--being related to Brie, how you enjoying America?" Callie smiled and started to play with the silver chain around her neck.

The bar sounded out with its classy high end, but somehow Nathan stood out, then again, it could only be his sexy accent. Callie wanted to make a move even it was subtle, but she saw something that killed her mood outright. Ville. Dammit.
