Dahlia had a bittersweet smile on her lips at his words, remembering a little Vincent and even with all his health problems was much easier to handle. Then again they stayed with their aunts then and Dahlia had more than enough help with Vincent.she picked up her head at the mention of it not being her fault, seeing guilt in the alpha's eyes. She frowned at seeing this before trying to assure him.
"this isn't your fault either if that's what you think. Guilty eyes are not a look that suit you Jack."
It almost looked as if the fire she normal had was there, but it was near drowned at thi point. She looked over at a clock and sighed, knowing Vincent would be waking up soon.
"I should head back to the hospital, Vivi's waking up soon..."
As she rose to her feet though, her exhaustion lead to her having heavy vertigo , making her fall back into the chair shocked and mildly disoriented.

Before he could say anything, he jumped some when Dahlia fell back into the chair. He was quick to helping her up and making her lay down on the couch.

"Rest, you need it." He said and gave her a somewhat stern look.

Dahlia was just trying to get her dizziness to go away before Jack started to help her to the sofa. She laid down but didn't want to stay and was about to try and get back up again before Jack chose to be stern with her about rest. She looked at him confused as she was the one that always worried and wasn't worried over so she wasn't sure how to take the tables being turned.
"Well this is new, haven't had that reaction since my mother was alive."
She gave a chuckle at this before starting to lay back down again with heavy eyes. she passed out entirely then, having lacked sleep for too long.

He smiled some once she fell asleep and went to check on Hunter who was now asleep himself. He went back to finishing up his drawing and once he was done, he checked the time and decided to get Hunter his medicine.

Hunter was surprised to find Dahlia sleeping on the couch, but was quiet as he took his meds.

Dahlia slept for a few hours before waking up with a start. She was wide eyed as she sat up, looking around as if not sure where she was for a moment. She took a moment to calm down before looking at the time. She looked overly worried and still tired as she rose to her feet.
"I shouldn't have taken that nap. Vincent is more than likely awake now and I need to be there."
She headed for the door then, going straight to the hospital.

Vincent had been up for an hour by then, just staring blankly at the wall, his legs bandaged and face vacant. Dahlia stayed with him for his remaining time in the hospital, watching how his eyes looked drained, angry, or in pain while the rest of him was rather lifeless. A few weeks passed and his legs were healed enough that physical therapy would be starting for him soon. Dahlia knew now she would have to go back to Hunter and see if he was even fit enough to see Vincent. The boy needed to be brought out of his depression somehow.

Before jack could say anything, she was already gone and sigh. He continued to give Hunter his medicine and sure enough within a week the boy was back to his old self.

Hunter was anxious to see Vincent, but Jack ordered him not to, not until Dahlia told him otherwise.

Dahlia looked much less worn than before, seeming to have caught up on some sleep as she arrived back to where Hunter was. She was hopeful that the boys meeting again would being Vincent back from his catatonic state. Stepping inside, she looked to find Jack and hunter with a bit of a happy expression.
"Hunter are you feeling alright? I can finally take you to see Vivi if that's the case."

Hunter was in the couch, watching a football came that was on while Jack was busy reading the newspaper. Both men looked up once dahlia came in and asked if Hunter was feeling better.....so he could go and see Vincent.

He lite up and jumped to his feet."Yeah I'm fine....I just want to see him." He said .

Dahlia couldn't help to smile at seeing Hunter light up like that. Her own body was still tired from the look of things but it seemed seeing one of the boys full of energy and life was giving her a bit of a boost.
"Glad to see you are okay, go get ready then and we can head right out. Jack would you like to come along as well?"
She had looked over at him, her eyes still showing she was tired and running around too much for her own good. She didn't want to rest though until her brother was back to normal again.

Hunter didn't need to be asked twice and practically ran to the room he had been sleeping in and got ready. Jack noticed how tired she looked, she was practically running on fumes at the moment.

He got up."Sure." He said with a small smile.

Hunter ran out of the room, dressed and ready to go. "Is he doing okay?" He asked.

Dahlia gave a small chuckle at how Hunter behaved. She took a seat for a moment while waiting, just trying to get her nerves cleared. She smiled at Jack agreeing to go with them, standing up once more when Hunter returned. She motioned both of them towards the door and to her car.
"I think he knows you're alive, either that or he's in strong denial of your death. He's actually started to lash out at me with magic, something I've never seen him do before. He's started to project his thoughts with magic as well. It's concerning since the voice isn't truly his kind voice, but...darker..."
She pulled her jacket further around her then, ready to drive them all to the hospital to see the witch. Today was the first day of therapy, and knowing Vincent, he was throwing a fit about it. Dahlia could only hope that he wasn't using magic to do so.

Jack looked alittle concern with what dahlia had said about Vincent but hunter didnt seem deterred and just wanted to see Vincent.

Once they got in the car, they headed off to the hospital. He hadnt seen Vincent in about a month now and was excited to see him again.

Dahlia had noticed the concerned look on Jack's face but did her best to give an assuring smile to him. As they pulled up, her eyes couldn't help to look a touch grim, marching her way upstairs and to the room her brother was. Already one could feel something wasn't right in the air, mostly coming from the other side of Vincent's door. A doctor stepped out, looking clearly terrified as he spoke to dahlia.

"I don't know what happened but that boy is a monster."

He rushed off then, more than likely needing a drink. Dahlia frowned at this before opening the door herself and stepping inside. One soft light was on, the room left rather dim. The only real sounds that buzzed the room were the machines keeping track of Vincent's vitals, but one could swear they could hear dark toned whispers that didn't belong.
"Vivi I've brought some visitors, I think they'll get you to smile."
Her voice almost sounded scared of the boy sitting in the bed. One could see angry green eyes staring out in the dim light before a dark and sinister voice spoke in their minds.
"I don't want any visitors, now leave."
What on earth happened to this child to twist him so?

Hunter was excited to see Vincent, but once the doctor came out of the room and looked terrified it made his happiness go away. He blinked and could feel the evil in the room and didnt know what on earth happened to Vincent that could twist him.

Once they walked in, angry green eye shines through the darkness and he looked somewhat sad at the tone. "Vincent it's me Hunter." He said.

Dahlia was doing her best to keep firm ground with her brother, but even with a frail body he'd become a bit of a brute in the last month. He was mostly silent until recently, which included him manipulating terrifying illusions out of the shadows and using magic to force people out of the room. Dahlia was hoping that wasn't going to be today as Hunter stepped in the room. Green eyes narrowed for a moment, only to widen in shock and anger. They quickly moved to glare at Dahlia before a rather disturbing growl and snarl like noise left Vincent.
"You told me he died! Why would you lie to me!?!"
The room seemed to grow darker and the door had slammed shut, Dahlia feeling her blood run cold. She could tell he was about to have a tantrum with his new found power over the darkness, starting by making her see her worst nightmares in the shadows.
"Vincent it was only until I was sure-"
"You still lied to me! Do you realize how much it hurts?! Why would you even think to keep him from me"
Angry tears were streaming from bright green eyes before the shadows started to shift and go straight for Dahlia, knocking her back into a wall.
