Alec stared after Raiiyn as she ran out of the diner, his arm hanging in the air, powerless to stop her retreat.

Well, that was bloody brilliant.

He ran a hand through his silver hair and closed his eyes.

"How am I supposed to tell them I've scared her off?" Turning, he gathered his things from his table, leaving some notes on the table for the bill. The cook stared at him, unsure what to do as he walked out of the diner and out onto the streets of London. He quickly made his way to a back alley and muttered a few words, opening a portal back home. Immediately after stepping through and arriving in the den of the manor he was accosted by his sister Meghan.

"What happened?" She said in frightened tone. The fact he had returned so abruptly by portal could only mean that something had gone amiss.

"She ran." He said, falling down into a plush armchair by the fireplace. "I told her about the protection spell, her heritage... well at least part of it and she ran."

Meghan's face fell as she wrapped her arms around herself. "Father is not going to be happy about this. We're days away from her 21st birthday Alec... He could find her."

Alec sighed and covered his face with his hands. "I realize that Meg. I really do but there's not much I could do. She ran out of the diner like a bat out of hell and I couldn't just kidnap her here. Do you want her to be scared of us? All that would have accomplished is to push her further and further away from us. Diyerdre and Tr'stan made their choice when they chose to send her away. They sacrificed their lives to protect their daughter from Beelzebul and in doing so, cut her off from all that she is. She's going to need time to cope with who she is, what she is."

A tall, white haired man in a black suit entered the den behind Meghan. "He's right, m'dear. Imagine how she must feel. To find out she's not completely human and her family lied to her, and in her eyes turned their back on her? It's not an easy thing to accept. The time will come when she turns to us but for now we need to trust in the powers that be. She will go home, I have seen it."

His words hung in the air, leaving the room thick with unspoken understanding. Raiiyn would be called to Avalon.
