Vivian trailed her fingers over the table as she slowly made her way around it. Things had been tense at Havenhold these past few weeks. Particularly between herself and Jade. Though River had healed her body and put her mind at ease, she still found herself avoiding the other woman as though she were the plague. "Tell me about Mia and your team." She took the chair that he had just been sitting in and straddled it, folding her hands on the back of it and gazing at him with intense curiosity.<br/><br/>River leaned against the table, examined her face intensely. Finally, after a long moment, he spoke. "Mia was Damon's older sister. She was beautiful, extremely intelligent, and loved by almost everyone that knew her. Those that didn't love her, at the very least, were extremely fond of her. She was romantically involved with Davis, and they were perfect together. Damon, of course, didn't approve. He didn't think Davis was good enough for his sister. I doubt he would have approved of anyone who had the gall to enter into any kind of romantic relationship with her. Even though she was older, he was extremely protective of her.<br/><br/>She was twenty three when she died. This was about ten months ago. We were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Astar and his father had gotten into it. I'm not sure exactly what happened, other than Mia took a hit that was intended for Damon, and she used a spell at the last moment to return us all here."<br/><br/>Vivian nodded slowly, turning her gaze to her hands.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Jade managed to get all the way back to the bedroom they shared before having to confront Damon. She was livid beyond words, and fully intended to give him a well deserved piece of her mind. Before she could open her mouth to say anything, however, she found herself pressed against the bedroom door with his lips crushing hers and his hands running the length of her body. Her birthmark burned slightly as she snatched his hand and held it behind him, breaking her lips away from his. "Damon Dalca, I swear I'm going to kick your ass." She snapped, struggling to maintain her hold on his hands.
