Timmery gave a low and rather vicious growl before placing her feet flatly on the ground once more - as she had needed to stand on tip-toes to be able to lean so far over the cauldron. "Do you want your father back or not? I'm the only one here qualified and willing to bring him back. If you don't want to do it, then he'll just stay dead."

"No! We want daddy back!!" Sadie said, pushing Justin away. "He's just being a jerk, alright?! Please help us, Timmery!!!" Sadie actually looked... pathetic almost. He usually did this when he knew he wasn't supposed to be a smartass but because he was one naturally, thanks to his mother, he did so quite often. Thankfully, he learned to contorl it.

Timmery blinked a few times, nose wrinkling in a form of showing discust. "Alright, alright. Pick yourself up off the ground and get your ass over here."

Sadie got up, followed by Enigma and they both ran over to Timmery, looking to her for directions. "What do you want us to do?" Sadie asked blinking. Justing calmly walked over, not so disbelieving anymore.

"Gimme your wrist, one of you," She said, holding out her hand. She shifted her other hand foreward as well to reveal a - rather new looking- hunting knife. "I'm going to need to add some blood from the three of you into the mixture."
"What about me? Can't I help?" Skylar questioned, looking at Timmery curiously.
Timmery shook her head. "Sorry kid. You aren't really part of the family. Ain't of the same blood."

Des hugged Skylar quickly, giving her warmth. "Aw, you're part of the family alright, Skylar. You just weren't born into this group of teens, ok?" She said sweetly.
Enigma was the first to shove her arm into Timmery's hand and nudged Sadie and Justing out of the way. Both brothers were also holdign out wrists.

Timmery gave them all a quick glance - looking over their faces and ready to slap those who would doubt her - before dragging the blade along Enigma's wrist. Once that had been done, she manuvered the girl's arm over the cauldron, allowing only a few drops in. Once that had been completed, she pulled Enigma's arm away. "On the shelf behind me there's a jar with some sort of healing goop in it. Slap that on if you want." Looking to Sadie and Justin, she ushered them foreward. "Which one's first?"
"Oh, I know." Skylar said softly, showing Des a reassuring smile. "I might be part of this family, but I wasn't born into it. I get it."

Des nodded, petting Skylar's head. "Good.. I just didn't want you to be upset. Though Timmery's a good girl, she says things the wrong way sometimes, ok?" Des grinned and measured Skylar up against her own body. "My, you've grown! Gotten yourself a lad yet?"
Enigma walked over to the shelf, looking around. A healing potion... what did that look like? She herself didn't use healing potions and hadn't learned from her parents for.. well... we all know why. Justin reached over her shoulder, pulling the healing potion off the wall and handing it to her.
Sadie stepped forward and held out his wrist, smiling brightly. His eyes had a lust driven look though, due to the fact he was married to a vampire... Justin didn't have that look, and was just really quiet, speaking his mind and saying nasty things once in a while due to, well, HIS wife...

Timmery raised her eyebrows at Sadie, but quickly shook her head. Taking the same knife she had used to slit Enigma's wrist only seconds before, she watched the blood instantly begin to pool about the slice. A low chuckled could be heard in her throat, as she thought of a little saying she had been taught once. As she held Sadie's wrist above the misture - now seeming more violent than ever- she mumbled out , "Remember kids, it's not across the street it's up the lane."
Skylar's face flushed, and her gaze fell to the floor. "No grammie. I haven't." It seemed the topic did embarrass her just a wee bit, and after glancing at her grandmother for the briefest second, her eyes fell to the floor once more. "It's...just hard for me to be social. I'm...rather jumpy apparently. Worse so than I thought."

"Enigma's there for you," Des grinned, and hugged Skylar, kissing her cheek. "I have faith in both of you, sweetie," She told her quietly.
Sadie giggled instead of flinched, and pulled Justin closer to Timmery so she could cut Justin's wrist.

Timmery looked at Sadie in a manner that suggested her belief of his sketchy nature, before dragging the same blade along Justin's wrist as well. Gee, she was glad they didn't seem worried about AIDs or anything. "Alrighty. That's all done. Now onto the next step."
Skylar gave a giggle, pressing a hand to her lips. "I know, grammie. I know you have faith in me, I promise I'll try harder. Having Enigma around makes things easier, too."

Sadie and Enigma both looked to her, tilting there heads. Justin was the one to speak up. "And that is... what?" He asked, licking at his wrist.

"Call him back, you dope," she said, as if it were completley obvious. "Come come, you little mongrels. Gather round the cauldron in a semi-circle. Hold hands now, like they taught you when you were little, sharing is caring," she muttered, waving them back over towards her.

Enigma stood between the two boys, holding their hands. Justin's grip was loose, almost bored but his eyes were determined while Sadie was nearly cutting off her circulation with excitement.
Des perked up, looking over to Timmery. "Timmery dear, is Skylar allowed to join the semi-circle too?" she asked curiously.

Timmery muttered something incoherent, tilting her head back and forth for a momment. After seeming to size Skylar up, she nodded her head. "Yeah yeah. Hop on up here."
Skylar scurried over to them, latching onto Justin's hand happily. After feeling how loose his grip was, she squeezed his hand a few times. "Come on now, have a little gusto big brother."

Justin looked down at Skylar, looking a little surprised at this kindness and half smiled. "Don't worry... I'm as determined as you are."

Skylar nodded her head, smiling brightly.
Timmery stepped before them, holding her hand about the cauldron. "Now, all I really need you to do is close you eyes. And think to yourself about your most precious memories of your father. And, with them, think of how badly you want to bring him back. Imagine yourselves in a cold, dark pit. And him standing far far away, but just so close as you can tell its him." All in all, her words made it sound as if she were trying to hypnotize them. "Reach out to him, and call for him. As you call, imagine him coming closer..." her words faded off into mumbled of chanting - in some odd unknown language. Romanian, perhaps?

Enigma had already closed her eyes, imagining all this... Her father giving her her pair of goggles that now rested upon her head, still shiny and new-looking. Now he was standing far away, and she called or rather, she screamed for him with her dumb voice... Justin was doing the same, thinking about when their father would take away the nightmares and cuddle with mommy and the rest of his siblings... Sadie was thinking of a time when Dahl would play with him and his favorite frisbee out in the backyard. Each of them could feel tears comming on.

Skylar as well felt tears coming on, remembering her adoptive rather as brutish - on the outside- but a total sweetheart at the same time. She remember his reaction was one of annoyance when Jill first brought her home; but over time he'd grown attatched to her. And then...a memory replayed itself that she hadn't expected to come about. Her eyes burst open suddenly, and she wrenched her hand from Justin's - supressing a scream as she did so.
Timmery opened a single eye, glancing at the girl out of the corner of her eye. The terrified look on her face; the apparent racing of her heart. But Timmery couldn't yell at her, couldn't break her concentration. She only hoped the girl didn't do anything to distract her siblings.

Justin kept as still as he could, not really caring for the little mongrel himself and sqeezed Enigma's hand so she would stay and concentrate. Des hurried up, holding Skylar gently and rocking her back and forth. "It's ok... shhh... come this way, we'll talk about it over there," Des said, picking Skylar up and walking to a safe distance away.
