Hidden Worlds

Lobby - William

Will laughed, feeling Jason's finger poking into his head. "How could I not be jealous? You just look so good." It came out dripping with sarcasm. It was too good not to tease him. If he couldn't enjoy himself with them who could he do it with? They somehow became best friends for a reason. He sent him a bland look at the love birds jab and rolled it off of him. A hug was a hug. So they went out together. It was two dates. Nothing to go labeling them over. "I don't know what you're talking about." He pushed Jason away from him with a small twitch of a smile. He just didn't know when to shut up. Thankfully the guy went and set his eyes on annoying Eliana instead. Jason was a sight. Watching him made him shake his head. There was Eliana, the girl who was so sweetly oblivous and Jason, the guy who was so annoyingly observant and they were his two favorite people in the world. Lucky him. "What part of the city are we gracing with your presence today Jason?"

Hotel Office - Katharine - Heading to Hotel Bar

Katherine Blackwell stood in the main office of the price Hotel. Dressed in a red pencil skirt and white blouse the owner of the hotel looked as stunning as ever, dark brown curls left to hang over one shoulder whilst she trotted gracefully around the room in 8 inch black heels. Katherine lifted the file from her desk and headed for the door, she was done for the day and didnt fancy being couped in the office for another few hours. So she returned to her penthouse suite on the top floor and unpacked all the files and left her bag on the bed before heading back downstairs again. She headed for the lavish bar on the ground floor, it was still day time so it would most likely be filled with businessmen making deals, young couples having lunch and heiress women spending all of daddys money. Katherine strode in, her presence commanding and a small smile on her face. She moved around a few tables, introducing herself and making sure her customer were happy. She then headed for the bar, smiling over the counter "Vodka tonic Frankie" she said, slapping her hand on the counter gently, the young red head on the other side smiled and nodded "right away Ms Blackwell" she said, gathering up what she would need for the drink. Katherine glanced over the bar as she waited on her drink, dark eyes taking in all the faces...yet looking for the one she knew wouldn't be there.

Lobby - Eliana

"The kind of gentleman that just asked me to take him out for drinks, not if I would join them for drinks." Eliana had just slung her purse over her shoulder when Jason pulled in her for a one-armed hug. She stayed long enough for him to press the kiss to the side of her head before ducking out of his hold. She couldn't help but laugh. Could only hope that in comparison to her cousin, she wasn't a pain at all. Pausing for a moment, she waited for Will to catch up to them before linking her arm with theirs. "Now, neither of you are going to fight me on paying the bill. Kay?"

Her tone held a note of finality though a whisper in the back of her mind reminded her that they were sneaky and she'd have to get her hands on the bill before they did. She wanted to spend time with them, not remind them that they didn't have to spend money on her. "Where do you guys want to go? There are tons of places to get drinks."

Lobby - Jason

Jason made a touched kind of face when Will told him he looks so good and it's impossible not to be jealous . Even though he knew well that sarcasm , he pretended to feel touched . " Well don't worry . Even if I'm cool , i'm still going to hang out with you ." he poked his tongue out at William and rolled his eyes when the boy went all not knowing on him . Yeah sure . He knew better than anyone what Jason was talking about and what he meant by love birds . But well , they will realize sooner or later . "Oh you didn't know ? I'm going to be everywhere ." he chuckled and looked at Will , a bit of a scared look upon his face . " That if mr. Xavier won't slash my throat out for not showing up at work ." Jason chuckled , suddenly not scared anymore . Actually the idea thrilled him a little . Be late and piss off daddy . He watched Eliana duck out of his hold and when she linked her arms with Will's and his , Jason rolled his eyes again and smirked . Shoving his hand into his pocket , Jason exited the hotel and shot a look down at Eliana when she tried to make sure they won't fight her over the bill . " Oh I will !" Jason exclaimed but he was also dead serious . He never allowed a girl to pay the bill for him and Eliana wasn't an exception ." We could also go grab something to eat if you want . I know the perfect place ." Jason winked .[/b]

Lobby - William

Eliana linked her arms with theirs. There was no backing out now. Mentally he pushed back the rest of the day. He'd see everybody later. Katherine wasn't going to disappear any time soon either. Will laughed at the two of them. Eliana was going to argue, she did every time, and just like then either he or Jason was going to sneakily take care of the bill before she had a chance. "How about we just enjoy the drinks?" He already had a plan on how he was going to beat them both to paying. Jason would know just the place. Where didn't he know about? Snaking his arm free, he detached from the duo. "I'll follow you." There was no way he was going to leave his baby behind. He also didn't like having to depend on them or anybody for that matter so he'd be traveling on his own bike. He was already backing away as he said it. He'd meet them there.

Arriving from Elite Fashions - Victoria

A cab pulled up outside of The Prince Hotel when the door opened, Victoria stepped out, closed the door and paid the driver. She watched as he drove off and turned to look at the hotel before slowly making her way inside. She took the long way up and climbed up five flights of stairs.

Fifth floor Victoria's Room 580 H

Victoria reached her door and took out her key which she used to unlock it and then entered her room. She closed the door behind her and kicked off her shoes. She made her way to the couch and flopped down onto it. She sighed quietly as her mind ran through everything what had happened so far today. It had started off a good day, then Sophia had returned and she was happy. Then she got upset when Jason arrived and he acted like a jerk towards her. Seething had occurred between the two but, she wasn't sure what. Sophia had left and she'd found out that her modelling partner was none other then Jason himself. So, then they got to work and she'd actually enjoyed the shoot. She couldn't help but smile as she recalled the moment she'd shared with Jason in his cabin. It made her heart flutter just thinking about it. She knew that was only a taster of the passion he was capable of and that there was more to him then the jerk side she'd seen earlier. Had he enjoyed it or was he just doing it to get the answer? She hoped it was both. She'd left even though she hadn't wanted too and had got changed. She'd waited for him and had watched as he had addressed the photographer before leaving, not even acknowledging her in the slightest which made her feel a little hurt though, she hadn't shown it. But, she believed it had been due to that text he'd gotten. Speaking of which, she took out her phone and opened the message, it concerned the death of Hannah. She'd met the girl once maybe twice but, didn't really know her but, she was guessing Jason had. So knows maybe they'd had a fling, it wouldn't surprise her.

She then recalled the dinner and so she sent a text to Sophia, after all, she had no details as to where this dinner was or what time exactly. She was guessing it would be either there in the hotel or maybe at Milano's Delius Restaurant. Either way, she would be ready once she'd decided what to wear. Though, she'd already got something in mind.

Victoria then slowly got up and went into the bathroom where she undressed and slipped into the shower. As she showered and washed her hair, she became lost in her thoughts. She switched it off and climbed out slipping into her bath robe before going into her bedroom and sitting at the dressing table. She looked at herself in the mirror, the words of the photographer where haunting her. Would she just be another notch on Jason's belt? he was a ladies man, after all, so, really that wouldn't surprise her. But, Was he right? If she was to disappear, would no-one miss her? The thought made her shiver and a tear ran down her cheek which she quickly brushed away.

After debating with herself whether the photographer had been correct or not. She'd decided to push it aside and for the time being hoping that he was wrong. She glanced to her phone and no reply from Sophia. Please let her reply soon. Can't deal with two of my closest friends not replying to me otherwise I really will start to believe him, she thought.

After rubbing her face, she went to her wardrobe where she pulled out a simple but elegant dress. She put it against her and hoped this dress would be alright for tonight. After taking it off if the hanger, she out the hanger away and slipped the dress on. She gave a small smile as she swayed her hips before retuning to her dressing table. She looked and saw her hair was going in ringlets on its own. She looked over her makeup and applied a natural look. Once she had finished, she sprayed some perfume and grabbed her purse putting her phone inside before getting up. She grabbed the key and put that in before she forgot. She walked to the door and took a deep breath before exiting. She took the lift and got out, she then left the prince hotel and hailed a cab which she climbed in and asked for a good bar to go too for she needed a drink to take her mind off of things

Sophia's Room - Nathaniel - Arriving From

Daniel appeared right into Sophia's room . Being a ghost like he said before had his perks . He just didn't know if she could breathe like a normal or not . Did I tell you to hold your breath ? he asked in a mocking way and smirked , placing her down . He looked around the room , a smile on his lips . When was the last time they were only the two of them together in one room ? Hmm , couldn't actually tell . But he missed this . He looked back down at her and smiled sweetly . I missed you . he said softly , bringing his hand up to brush his thumb against her cheek.

Completely unaware that in the shadows , Jason was watching . And Jason was going to keep it that way . Thank God Sophia had shadow spots in her room.

Sophia's Room - Nate & Jason

Nate nodded his head . No need to thank me . You would have probably had a search party on your back for being missing . he chuckled . It was true after all . They all knew how her father could sometimes get . Hell he even knew how Mr. Van Larson could get when it came about his little girl . We both know your father would have freaked and sent the US force to find out . he joked and looked at the ground . There's one thing though . he started and ever so slowly started to lean down towards her face . He wanted to kiss her . Bad . Okay kids shows over . Jason suddenly came out of the dark and shouted , causing Nate to lean back up and turn around to face him . Okay this was a new face . Who the hell are you ? Nate asked standing in front of Sophia , of course trying to protect her . Jason gave him a boring look and a look that said please! in a sarcastic manner , waiting for Sophia's reaction as he tilted his head to a side ..

Sophia - Her Room

Sophia smiled and blushed again. God seeing him here made her heart skip beats. She laughed at his comment about her dad sending the US force after her. In fact, he would get everyone to look for her even if she was home late for 10 minutes. She kept her smile on and started thinking back to when Nate would take her out and had to be home at 11pm sharp. Or the big Van Larson dad would throw and hissy fit. She gave him a curious look and her heart jumped. He was about to hiss her. She wanted to kiss him back as much as he wanted to kiss her. But they were interrupted when her new found 'brother' appeared out of no where, and she automatically stood to her feet scared and was shielded behind Nate. She felt safe around Nate. Always and forever safe. She peaked around his body since he was taller then her by a foot or more. What the hell was Jason doing in her room? Then, it all come back to her. All the feelings and emotion, the feeling of betray and lies. Her father had lied to her, her whole life about being the only child. "You scared me Jason. It's okay Nate. This... " She put her hand on his arm and squeezed it a little tight to tell him it was safe. She stepped in front of him. "Is Jason, my long lost brother. Yes, I know it sounds crazy but we just found out today." She looked to Jason and narrowed her eyes then back to Nate. "And Jason, this is my ex-fiance or fiance Nat...umm Daniel Blackwell. " She crossed her arm and looked back at Jason. "How did you get into my room? And were you here the whole time?" She asked my, her voice a little embarrassed.

Sophia listen to them go them talk. It was kinda nice seeing them interact and talk for a few seconds. It felt...nice. She shook her head when Jason spoke. She nodded. They did need to talk but, Nate didn't have to leave the room. She didn't want him to go. Besides she was going to tell him what Jason said anyways. "I don't mind Nate being here to hear everything. Besides he is...or was? My fiance." She turned to Nate and gave him those eyes of pleading him not to leave. But, just like his family, Sophia had to do somethings alone. And this was was major. "I want you to stay, really I do but, can you give me a few with Jason? Dorota should be around and can ask her for anything you want. This is always your home. I wont be far if you need anything." She loved how he always made sure she was okay with everything before he would leave anywhere. She did the same to him. She hated to see him go now that he was here..somehow. Before leaving she tip toed up and gave him a kiss on the cheek and a small smile to reassure him she would be fine. She looked at Jason and nodded. She took Jason by his hand and pulled him towards her study room. Dorota came in right after she left the room with Jason.

She was in shock to see Mr. Daniel standing in front of her. Then again, Miss. Sophia was special just like her mother and grandmother are and nothing really surprised Dorota much anymore. "Do want supper Mr. Daniel? Mr. Van Larson should be here in a few moments for the Dinner Miss Sophia asked to have. Should I set a side a space for you?" She smiled at him. when she paused she whispered to him a few words. 'We missed you here house lonely.'

Sophia had no idea what to say yet. Just that she hated her father for not telling her about him sooner or at all for that matter. She slide the doors closed behind her and turned to look at Jason. She hadn't changed yet and her cloths looked dirty and her hair was nappy and a little wet. She pulled it back and just looked a Jason. This was her brother she was standing in the room with.

Sophia's Room - Sophia

Sophia looked at Jason and gave him a confused look. That's right her clothing. "Its a long story and it involes Daniel. I was at the beach and stuff happened, then Danel brought me home. She tried smiling at him but it didn't work. She stared at him. God they had so of there fathers features alright. So strange. "I know you don't really like me or know me but, it would be great to get to know you. Since, apparently our father lied to both of us." She never had a brother. Or anyone that was as close to her as blood. Besides her mother, grandmother and Dorota and her cousins. She had someone that shared a parent. A lying father, to be exact. "Thank you for coming btw. If you stay for dinner we can show our father what he feared of us finding out. I still can't believe your my brother, even if its half brother, and I'm your sister. As much as you might not like me or the way I show my feelings. Sophia shook her head as she felt she was talking out of nervousness. She stayed quiet and waited to see what he would say.

Arriving from The Bar To Prince Hotel - Victoria

A cab pulled up outside of the Prince Hotel and out of it stepped Victoria, she paid the cabbie and watched him drive off before turning to the hotel and making her way inside. Once inside, she took the lift up to the floor which Sophia's room was on and when it pinged, she stepped out and walked down the corridor until she came to the apartment.

Victoria's Apartment

Victoria couldn't stop wondering what could've been so urgent that couldn't wait until dinner but, she was here now both for the urgency and for dinner. That was if the dinner was still on. She shook it off and raised her hand as she knocked on the door and awaited for either Annie or Dorota to answer.

From Central Park To The Prince Hotel - Xavier

Xavier wanted to get this dinner over with so he could get back to what he and Serena had in mind. A nice night of pleasure and relaxation was in order. But he could never say no to his princess no matter what she wanted. He might even consider not being with Serena if it really hurt her. Even though he really cared about her to much to let her go. Sometimes his emotions get the best of him. His daughter was place before everything no matter what. He promised that to himself the day she was born from the women he loved and adored to this day. Malinda. His wife who passed away almost a year ago. His daughter was a total wreck when it happened and then no to long ago Daniel died. He was hoping they would last but after what he had found out from The Queen Elder herself, he wished he could have done something to stop Daniels death from happening. Xavier was a calm man but when you missed with his daughter things went to hell. He will do anything to keep his daughter safe and his family. Now with the Queen watching him he has to be very carful with what happeneds next. One this was for sure, he had no idea that Sophia and Christopher being together could lead to her death. He liked Christopher, good working man dedicated to his fathers company and repectful. Only thing he hated more then anything was they were trying to get to his daughters heart by taking away the one person his daughter loved the most and she tried finding comfort in Christopher after everything happened.

Once the towncar pulled up to the hotel he thanked Rey and got out looking up to his daughters room. Th lights were on she was home. Good. Now Xavier could tell her what he really thought about her and Christopher. Now that they didn't love each other because he was sure she did but he knew who she really lived and the whole confusion of her her was the queens fault. After coming from the park and paying a small visit to his his mother in law things were going to start to change around here. Charolette was not to be trusted and Anna Sophia new that so now it was to protect his family and they others that will be involved . It was time to make everyone know who Tower High was. Starting with Victoria and Eliana.

He walked up to the hotel and closed his eyes. Chanting in tounge making a protecting barrier around the perimeter of the building. Once Anna Sophia gave him one of the Crystals from the stone he was almost as strong as Charolette. Dark magic was not allowed beyond these walls and he will inforce it as much as possible. He noticed someone at Sophia's door once he had entered the elevator that led him up to her room. It was the one person he wanted to talk to. Xavier came up behind her and taped her shoulder. When she turned he gave her a serious look and put his index finger to his mouth so she wouldn't say a word. Grabbing her arm and taking her to the elevator he wanted for her to react. He had to talk to her a let her know what was happening between all the tower kids and why the murders were connected to the them. It was time for her to know the truth. For all of the to know.

Sophia's Room - Jason

Jason listened to Sophia's blabber , having that careless look on his face . He honestly wasn't here to hear all that . He honestly didn't cared that much for her . Or at least that is what he liked to believe . Sibling bond is always strong though . Look , the way I think about you and the way I feel about you isn't going to change now that I found out i have a sister . Or half sister . Jason said in a rather cold voice , trying to make those words as believable as possible . But yes , I do agree with you here . We will have to confront our father and see what's his version of the story . even though for Jason he's a liar and a man that couldn't say something without lying . He completely changed his opinion about Mr. Van Larson . Though once we hear what he has to say , I might leave . For good . sadly enough , this thought walked through his mind for quiet some time .

Sophia's Room - Sophia

Sophia held in the hurt his words gave her. This is what she gets for showing and emotions. She listened to Jason and nodded. Leaving was what he wanted then she couldn't stop him. No matter how much she wanted him to stay. She wasnt about to say something she was going to regret later. "We'll you can do what you please. It's complicated for me to even think about leaving." She wished that she coukd leave and get away from all this crazyness, but she was already used to most if the madness. Hell they werent even human. "Do what you want. I just want to know why he lied and what for. He's all I have left and I guess I don't count for you so thats that." Solhia wasnt going to let the words keep her head down. she had always dkne most of it on her own. one day her father was a nice and sweet as candy and then he turned into mr. secret man. Just like Jason looks like he closed off from everyone and puts a stone cold face and attitude on. "I feel as if I'm dealing with Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde. Well I need to start dinner if we want to call it that. Is there anything else you wanted to tell me?" She asked him. She didn't believe his none caring ton for one second, nor his words meaning that he wants nothing to do with her. She always felt something about Jason and now she knew exactly what it was. She crossed her arms looking at him then back to the door as if she could see past it to we're Nate was. She could feel his presence here since her abilities allowed her to feel more then a human is supposed to feel. Over a hundred years old and the amplified feeling she gets when everything around her shifts still surprises her. Then it hit her, Victoria was here and so was her own father. She turned back to Jason as it he too, knew what she was talking about. She closed her eyes for a brief minute and shook her head. She was the only one that can sence other bodies in the room but she knew Jason could feel that their father was here.

Sophia's Room - Jason

Again , Jason listened to Sophia with that bored type of look on his face . Yes he believed leaving was the best idea . He agreed to come here and grab his part without being lied to . And it seemed as if that is what happened ever since he arrived in town . And ever since Sophia got back . No he wasn't blaming her . It was just weird . For me it's pretty simple . I've been lied to so no need to stick around and help a man that can't be entirely honest and that might as well lie when he breathes too . Jason shrugged carelessly . If she thought for one second he was going to show any kind of emotion when she said she couldn't count on Jason for staying around her , she was just wrong . Because he didn't . He did felt something , like someone stabbing his heart . It is too pleasant to hear that your sister said she can't count on you . Even the most heartless person feels a slight pain there . Before he could say anything else , he looked up at Sophia with the look changed . Xavier Van Larson is in the house . He shot up from the chair and straightened his shirt . Shall we ? he pointed at the door , being pretty sure what he meant . Why wait until dinner when he could embarrass his dad now ? The dinner was going to be the desert . Let's do this the lunch .

Sophia's Suite - Xavier

Xavier saw her face and sighed. I just wanted to warn you before you step food in there for dinner. Things are not what they used to be and what you read in books about all the mythical things, are true. Your a good friend to Sophia and have been with her through a lot o things in her life. You will find out something that you won't like. One thing you need to know is, you have to be strong because you are already in this and there is no way out. We will protect you. I promise. He let out a breath and nodded at Victoria. Letting her to and walking back to the door of Sophia's apartment. He could tell she was more confused then ever but she would find out tonight. She had to for her own saftly. No more secrets about what his family was anymore. He turned to the door and opened it. Sophia's maid Dorota was about to get the door and she smiled at him. Mr. Van Larson. She is here waiting for you. I can take your coat. Miss Victoria hello come in please someone else is here too. I don't know if it is miracle but makes miss Sophia happy. he smiled at her then have her a weird look. Please tell me Christopher isnt here. The only one that made Sophia happy used to be Daniel. Not that he approved up them getting married but he was decent. He walked towards the dinning room and his eyes went wide. Daniel Blackwell was standing before him. He was speechless and just staring at him.

Sophia's Home- Sophia

Sophia looked at Jason and rolled her eyes at the fact that her father was here like if it was a normal dinner. Like nothing ever happened. She was tired of the lies and being treated as if she couldn't handle anything. "Well you wouldn't be here helping him. You would stay for me and help me but like I said I can't stop you." She uncrossed her arms and turned back to the door. She was ready to see the look on her fathers face when they tell him. There is a reason why he has been hiding them from each other and she wants to know exactly what it is. She nodded her head in response to Jason. Opening the door to the study and walked out heading to the dinning room. To her surprise Victoria had gotten her faster then she expected. But why did she have that look on her face? Sophia saw a shocked Xavier at seeing Daniel here. She too, turned to look at him. Handsome as ever even with dark clothing. "Glad you could make it father. Wouldn't want you to miss our family reunion, now would we? This dinner will be better then the last one. I can promise that. She smiled but it wasn't a happy one. A fake smile because she was boiling inside. She did turn to Victoria and give her a hug of thank you for coming, kinda feeling. She was glad she came. Now were was Eliana? She looked over to Jason that had came out behind her and they were both standing side by side, until she moved to get her phone from the table. Wow tons of missed messages. She thought to herself. Looking over them her mouth feel in shock to see who were the next people that were murdered. Her good friend and co worker was murdered and also Christopher's uncle was murdered. She put the phone back down and saw Nate. She tried to hold it in but everything was starting to look like as if it was hell on earth.

Wiping a tear from her eyes, she looked to her father in utter disappointment.
