Jade poofed into her room at the Chi house, her jade hues wide and bouncing about. Her motherly senses were tingling like crazy. Though all mothers had that little extra when it came to their children, Jade just happened to hace a little bit more because of her and Claira's magical bond. Things on her lower shelves and lower areas of her room were knocked over, almost in a frantic way. Her pierced brow quirked and she stalked out of her room looking about.

There in the hallway lay the little body of Claira. Jade's eyes widened, nearly popping out of the sockets as the hues changed from crimson, jade, blue, and back in a fury of different emotion. Still, too still - deathly still as she looked at her fallen daughter. A mother's worst fear. Slowly, carefully she stepped forward towards Claira, holding her breath - though there was no need for breathing at all. A whimpered bit of air slipped from her lips as she kneeled beside the small body, her own already starting to shake. Jade leaned over as a shakey hand went through her daughter's hair. She tilted her head to hold her ear near her daughter's mouth and nose. Almost non-existent and shallow breathing lightly tickled her ear. She was suddenly glad her daughter had never stopped the habit of breathing. Jade bit her lower lip, crimson tears welling up. But the breathes from her daughter started getting more shallow and coming less often. Another small whimper slipped from her as she leaned back.

She kicked off her pumps as she scooped up her daughter in her arms, making it a little easier to stand and walk. Claira hung limply in her airs, sweat mopping her small pale face. Jade brushed Claira's curly black ringlets out of her face, a few silent crimson tears falling from her own cheeks. Her jade hues moved from her daughter, bounding everywhere else in a frett. She didn't know what to do. Her daughter was dying in her arms, her only flesh and blood. She paused at that one thought. Blood. Jade blinked away a crimson tear, looking back down to her daughter. She shifted some of her weight and started moving towards the stairs.

-Rhy and Lyren had been babysitting Claira, last they knew she was asleep in her bed. The two of them were down in Lyren's room watching a movie and gabbing. Needing more drinks and candy, Rhy had headed upstairs to get just that when she heard someone coming down the stairs, she peeked around the kitchen corner and saw Jadey with a limp Claira in her arms.-

"Oh my god! Oh my god!" Rhy just started screaming, loud enough to wake the whole house. She ran for the stairs and started to scream for Lyren and then ran back to Jade.- "What happened?! What do we do?! "

-Rhy was running around like a chicken with her head cut off.- " She was asleep in her bed, I promise Jade. " -Rhy started to cry softly as she waited for Jade's answer. She knew she need to calm down so she could be of some assistance.-

Saddened glazed over eyes looked to Rhy as she moved down the stairs. Slowly, so slowly she moved. Carefully did she hold her daughter. She just shook her head before clearing her throat, at first her voice only came out in a series of rasps.

Finally, she gained her voice, "Not ... your fault. She needs... needs..." pause as a few crimson tears fell, "blood."

She bit her lip... hating that her daughter was getting even worse, needing more blood. It was horrible. Such a innocent child. She descended the stairs, slowly still, moving towards the kitchen of the grand mansion. A lil escape of air fell through her lips as she watch her daughter slowly growing paler.

"Rhy," she rasped out, "Would you be a dear and find her little medicine dropper? I be thinkin it would help the blood go down her throat." A small nod followed.

-Rhy rushed over to help Jade carry Claira to the bar. - ? Lets lay her down here.? ?Rushing to the fridge Rhy opened it and searched for the blood packs that Lyren and Jade usually kept in there. ?

?Jade, where are the packs?!? ?Rhy searched frantically, throwing whatever was in the fridge out, searching for the packs. -

?Did you guys replenish the stock?? ?there was never, not, blood in the fridge. Rhy opened up the freezer, there were packs in there but they were frozen.

? Okay, Okay, we have to stay calm. ? ?With that Rhy went to the cutlery drawer and grabbed out a small, but sharp knife. ?

? I?m going to do something pretty stupid, but stay with me, okay?? ?Rhy gave Jade one of her weak but slightly crazed smiles. -

?Claira can drink and when she?s done, you can heal me?? ?Rhy nodded hopefully. ?

?You just hold her head back and massage her throat in a downward motion to encourage drinking and I?ll feed her.? ? With that Rhy took the knife and slit it over her wrist where she knew the blood would flow readily without Claira having to do any work. ?

?God damn! ? ?Rhy yelped as she dropped the knife and wrapped her fingers around her wrist to try and keep herself from bleeding all over. Her wrist was turned over and placed over Claira?s open mouth; she held it over letting her own blood feed down into the pale child. ?

? Please work, please work! ? - She whispered softly and looked up to Jade, her own eyes looking sort of pale and an unfocused. - ? Just take care of Claira.? ? With that Rhy grabbed a kitchen towel and wrapped it around her wrist and then slowly slid down to the floor, trying to gather herself together. She knew she?d be fine and didn?t have any worries, except for that of little Claira. -
