Struggle for Power.

"He was already -sad- Damon!" She cried, knowing he would claw her or do something horrible to her if she kept silent. She rubbed her tears away. They wouldn't do any good, and she didn't want to give Damon anymore happiness, knowing he'd caused so much grief already. She wished he'd leave her alone... She didn't -want- to be his mate, but there was nothing she could do, not without living in total pain and agony for the rest of her life...~

When would anything settle down? When would there be just a little peace?
 
Damon spun around slamming the door behind him grabbing Fallens collar as he paseed him. they were going to talk and it was going to be a long long talk. Fallen was tempted to bite him but resisted as he was half dragged out of the house. They finaly stopped at the end of the property yelling at each other cursing and screaming.
 
She lied back on the mattress, realizing this was Melody's room. That poor girl. To have life snuffed out just as she was looking so hopeful to a future as a mother. With Fallen as a wonderful husband. Not for one second did Janice doubt that Fallen was a good person through and through. Totally opposite of his brother, the bitter one. Jealousy did warp people in horrible ways, until the person you used to know and love was gone, replaced by the screaming green eyed monster better known as hate. While the brothers were off arguing, she had a chance to use the shower, and -lots- of hot water, soap and shampoo. Feeling somewhat refreshed, she went back to the living room, too much grief lived in Melody's room... but really, it was everywhere now, and she had no haven. Anywhere...~
 
They argued for hours non stop till they began to get overly tired. Fallen walked back first taking a shower with out realizing it he had walked into his old room floped down on the bed and had fallen asleep.
 
Looking more lost than ever, Janice had fallen asleep on the living room couch, too exhausted to even hear when the brothers got back from all that arguing. Glasses of water had been left out for both of them, however, and as she slept, strands of hair had drifted across her face. She looked a little more peaceful now that nightmares weren't plaguing her. She hoped the two brothers had at least come to a truce of some sort....
 
The hose was silent for the rest of the night no one argued no one snored just silance.
 
In the morning, Janice woke up earlier than usual, stiff and sore from yesterday, but at least clean and with decent clothes. She went to the kitchen, but found the situation still the same there: No food. One or all three of them, would need to go shopping. She wondered if Damon would even consider her letting her go back to work, since that would at least bring in money for herself. She sighed, called her boss, and apologized for the no-show, lying down some excuse or other about being too sick to even call in. He said she could come back next week, and they both hung up, which left her not much else to do, other than explore the house...
 
Damon woke up before Fallen he had slept in the spare room without hesitation he practicaly owned the place but he didnt care. Deep down he actualy cared for his brother but he'd never beleive it. As he walked tot he kitched he pondered on weather to send the girl out to go shopping. He ran into her when he reached the living room.

"Are you willing to come back if we send you out." he was contemplating weather to give her somethign to keep the pain away while she was gone waiting for her awnser.
 
She nodded. "I'll come back," She replied. She knew what would happen while she was gone, and didn't care to test how long it would last or if it would wear off someday. "Just make a list for you and Fallen's favorite things, and I'll use the car to drive." She missed her lexus, it was her only vehicle, but it definitely was a speed monster. Even temporary drives would help break her monotony and help clear her mind. But she knew she might as well just forget her car and her own place for a while at least...

Until things settled down and established between the three of them.
 
He toses her 2 sets of keys the pair to her car and to his mustang and gave her a list.

"If you dont come back you know what will happen." he grummbled walking back to his room to sleep another few hours.

"Can't belive you leting her go out" Fallens voice drifted threw his head laughter following.
 
Janice gave an ornery grin at Fallen, but caught the keys, finding a stash of money to take with her in her purse, she definitely had enough to cover groceries for a month! She waved at both of them, and headed out to the mustang with the list in hand. The drive felt awesome, and though it began to ache in her head, and neck for some reason, the further she drove from Damon, she still could push it aside and concentrate on only being out of their thumbs for a while!

Once at the store, she felt a sense of total freedom for the first time in -days-, and it was really refreshing. She knew she had to go back right after shopping was done, but come hell or high water, she was going to make this moment -last!-. She strolled through the first isle, her purse over one shoulder, and looked at the list carefully: Tomatoes, lots of steak, pork chops, chicken, eggs, milk, and apparently both Damon and Fallen liked Ramen. This should be easy.

Hours later, she had everything paid for, and carried out to the car. She took the drive back to Melody's house slowly, wanting to enjoy her freedom a bit more. Still, the drive ended far too soon for her liking, and an odd, trapped feeling hit her before she was even at the door with arms loaded with the grocery bags, sending Damon and Fallen to go carry the remaining bags while she put everything away!
 
Damon and Fallen helped unload the car then sat down at the bar watching Janice put things away they watched her the same way it looked like a mirror as they moved and watch they were so alike it was creapy.
 
She had to laugh a bit at how silently they were watching her put everything away. "Jeez, what's with the looks?" She asked, perching on a stool across from both of them and promptly giving them stares right back! She couldn't help it, they were pretty intense, and -someone- had to lighten the mood around here!
 
They looked at one another and smiled they thought about creeping her out more and bagan to talk.


"We'd like to say you have become a great part of our family please stay," it irritated Damon to say exactly wat Fallen said at the same time but it was for the fun of making Jancie freak, "Can we talk to you?" they pointed at each other and shoted as loud as they could. "YOU LIKE ME BETTER THAN HIM RIGHT???" they looked at each other glaring for a moment then shruged looking back at her like she was food waiting for her awnser.
 
Wah! Janice almost fell off the stool then! "I like you both, very much. Damon you just be -good- from now on, and no torturing anyone. And Fallen... Keep up the good work in keeping Damon in line, and yes, I'll stay. I do need to get things from my apartment but I'm not too sad leaving it. I can still work right? Or will I just be the house um... wife? girlfriend.. thing..?" She didn't really know how to describe her relationship! It was awkward, but she was very glad they'd both gotten to agreements between each other and were now more like decent people.
 
They looked at each other, before Damon got up and left.

"Um, you can do what ever you wish as long as your willing to come back is what Dam said." Fallen translated for her picking up an apple and started to eat it.
 
"Well okay. I'll be gone for a few hours then." She announced, hugging Damon and Fallen both, before hurrying off to her Lexus and driving first to her apartment to gather her belongings, second to the bookstore and get a new schedule, and thirdly, to fill up the gas tank... it was almost empty! It had taken her about two hours for her other errands, as well as signing out of her Lease with the apartment. But everything was going well for a change, and she really did miss driving her own car. It wasn't until around 6:30 p.m. that she finally wandered back in the house to figure out some sort of routine with the two brothers, while unloading her belongings in a guest room with a nice bed and walk in closet. She was just glad to be occupied for a while!
 
Fallen had gone to his room earlier to go threw stuff he wasnt going to use he had taken melodys clothes giving them to Janice not htinking as he did it he made him self not feelhe wouldnt do it.

Damon was still running threw the woods when he sented Janices return so he spunn around heading back to the house.
 
Janice blinked at Damon's paranoid run through the woods. She realized then she felt exhausted from doing so much in one day, and wondered if it was appropriate right now to take a nap. Then she said to herself 'screw appropriate', before promptly falling face first on the mattress, pulling a blanket over her head to rest a while.~ She'd probably wake up in a few moments, but right now she needed to recharge. There were a few things bothering her, like the way Damon had looked at her that night she'd first transformed.... and what was going to happen next...~
 
Damon walked into the house wearing nothing but a pair of shorts Fallen had scolded him multiple times threw out the day. he was stilll trying ot figure out why he and Fallen had sudently gotten along so much better. Zmaybe it was Janice's falt. Just as he thougth it he spotted her or at least the bump in the bed where she had pulled the covers over her head.
