<i>She was busy talking to Morgana when they heard the crash from the kitchen area. Morgana took off like a bullet, her heart sank, no, please no. She ran after her, that day was just a mistake form the beginning, there were screaming, Mogana chose the worst time possible to come out to her fater and it just whent even more down the drain form there. Margana drew a switchblade. "Morgana NO! Let's everybody just breath." Nobody paid her any mind, Morgana lunged at her father, managing to slash his shoulder (seeing how he used to be a military man, it was actually quite impressive) Alexander grabbed a considerably bigger knife from the table. She was frantically trying to calm the situation that was quickly getting out of hand. He could be angry and volatile, she knew that, but never in a million years would she have guessed he would go as far as to stab her. She stared in shock as Morgana fell the ground, Alexander following her to finish the job. With absolute no regards for her own safety, she jumped in front of  Morgana "Alexander she is your daughter! Avalon had crawled closer and was dragging her sister out of harms way.<br/>
"Please Alex, you are hurt, go tend to your shoulder, I will come to look at it for you, let me just take care of this, I'll make sure it never happens again" <br/>
<br/>
As she sped down the highway towards the hospital, Avalon crying and applying pressure to her sisters' wound, she started planning, she meant it, it will not happen again, she needed to get the girl out of that house. </i><br/><br/>Mahina woke with a start, her phone slight vibration having awoken her. She glanced next to her to check if Alexander was still asleep. She sighed lightly, she dreamt about that day often, she still feels horrible about it, if she acted quicker, if she kept a better eye on Alex (she knew he was in a foul mood) Morgana was seriously hurt, well at least they are safe now. Alex had not been happy and she paid the price for 'sticking her nose where it didn't belong', she had to take a few days off work, people would ask questions if they saw her like that. She smiled despite herself when Alex let out a soft little snore, he has been so much better these last couple of weeks, he was getting better, he really was, he just needed love like everybody else.<br/><br/>She glanced at her phone and her smile got even bigger, the youngsters were at it already, why wouldn't they be? She cant believe Avalon is 18! Her eyes drifted towards Alexs' sleeping form again, she felt bad for lying to him and going behind his back (again) and she is sure deep down he would want to be there for her birthday, but they were not ready yet. That is why she told him she would be volunteering again today until late and then be home just before dark (the young lot probably didn't want her hanging around too long anyhow) Plus he was going out drinking with an old military buddy so he would leave them alone, foolproof.  Quickly checking on the man sleeping next to her again she quickly texted back.<br/><br/><b><u>Girls and friends: </u></b><i>Morning everyone. Happy birthday Avalon!<img alt=":heart-red:" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite132" data-shortname=":heart-red:" loading="lazy" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" title="Heart - Red    :heart-red:"/> Stop worrying sweetheart, everything is going to be perfect. See everybody soon. </i><br/><br/>Mahina smiled, she loved spending time with the girls and their friend, she wouldn't stay too long, the youngsters probably didn't want to spend too much time with her, she was old enough to be their mother after all. But there was just no way she would miss this birthday.<br/><br/><br/><br/>A loud crash sounded through the house flowed by a scream<b>"Mom!!!! Adam did it again!!" </b>One could hear definite running through the cluttered home and a few people laughing<b>"I didn't do anything!!" </b>Even though it was still early, the house was already a flurry of activity. Not surprising since there were over a dozen people living there. Adam stood with his back against the wall hiding form is younger sister as she stormed past, snickering with his older brother they gave each other a fistbump when he felt his phone vibrate.  If possible his smile got even bigger.<b>"Adam I swear! One day! Just one calm day!" </b>his mother screamed from somewhere in the house.<b>"Go, I'll cover for you" </b>his brother offered. He gave him a thankful grin before sneaking off!<br/><br/>He took refuge in the garden under a tree, it was a bit quieter but there were two younger nephews running around, he didn't mind, he hated it quiet and loved the chaos other saw as his life.<br/><br/><b><u>Fabfive and Nina: </u></b><i>Hi all you lovely ladies! And you James you are lovely too.  Lon-Lon!! Happy birthday, girl!! See you soon. Ps. Kat, you have a party hat, since when?  Definitely bring that then!</i><br/><br/>With is ever present smile he strolled back into the house to go tell his mother (he totally forgot to tell her!) he was not coming home after work today. Being the ever optimistic person he was he didn't feel anything bad would happen today, but the couldn't shake the feeling, something, not sure what, but something weird or wonderful would.
