After the EMT's had left, Brea sat down beside her father and fussed over him a little. She needed the distraction from what was happening, at least physically. She'd already made Eban a cup of tea and she was making sure that he drunk it. Worried eyes watched him before they flickered back towards Hawken. How had everything turned on it's head again.

"I don't understand something," she said softly, "Why dad, why Bella?" She was talking to Solomon of course, but she didn't look at him as she kept an ever watchful eye on her father. "Tell me why they'd come for him. He's not your father nor your blood, and Bella is nothing to do with you at all." It didn't make sense, at least not to Brea, why come for those two if they wanted to do some damage, they could have come for her.

Her eyes glanced around the room and she let out a breath, she knew the longer they waited the worse that could be happening to Bella, "Where are they," she whispered as she glanced around again, then turned her attention to her father. She didn't know if she should call Fia as the last she'd heard he'd made his choice and had chosen not to be part of this family. "If they hurt her, Albert is going to go nuts."

Alba noticed the people in the room and excused herself quickly, coming back a minute later in a long bathrobe, handing Breacan his jacket back as she went to sit the other side of Eban. Gently she took his hand and gave him a look as to ask him if he was okay and if he needed anything.

Albert appeared, keeping his distance from everyone but watching Hawken with dark, angry eyes, "They hurt her and you'll wish they hadn't done." He wasn't the kind to threaten lightly, but Bella was important to her. Probably the most important thing in her life.

"Is there something we can do? Something non violent?" Brea rose not her mother was tending to her father, walking towards Solomon, "We don't want to risk her getting hurt, or any of us here."

Hawken shrugged and spoke. “We’ll just have to find out won’t we.”

“Leave me out of it. I’m not going into the dark.” Eothian looked panicked stricken at the idea. “I mean I’d be more helpful here any way.”

There was nods all round from Hawken. Breacan and Eban.

“There isn’t a chance of leaving you behind?” Hawken spoke to Albert and Brea.

Brea's voice was soft and she turned to look at Eothian, "No, you can stay here with Dad and mom, just in case she ends up leaving we need someone to keep an eye on him." And then her attention went back to Sol, "No, I'm coming with you and I know Albert will want too as well. Bella is probably scared and she can be just as frightened of you. You need us there."

"What about Fia," Alba said softly, "Shouldn't someone tell..."

"No," Albert's voice cut through sharply, "He made his choice to be where he is, and with whom he's with. We don't need him."

"This isn't about you Albert, this is about Bella. We might need his help."

Ignoring his sisters words, Albert looked at Sol. "When do we leave?"

Mac is my ambassador, whether you like it or not Al, he will be called to negotiate.”

Hawken didn’t seemed impressed at the idea of bringing along Eban’s children. Still he knew Brea was right, Bella was still scared of him. She didn’t know Breacan and Mac was the only one she would go to if it were just them. But it wasn’t.

“I have others who can help as well.” Again Hawken spoke looking at the group. Suddenly he grinned. “This be fun introducing you to my world.”

Breacan shot him a dark look.

“Hawken, bad timing for personal amusement.”

"I don't like it." Because it would complicate things more than anything, especially with the arrival of Eothian. All he could imagine was more fighting.

"Let's try and not turn this into a fight, there might be other ways around this. Please," Brea looked at Sol, "No more killing unless it's absolutely necessary. And no matter what, no leaving me and no sending me away." Turning a little into Hawken, Brea didn't care that everyone could see her be affectionate towards the man she was going to marry. She brushed her nose against his jaw, "Who else would I make coffee for if you weren't here?"

Brea looked around the room and then her eyes stopped at Eothian, "Call Fia, he'll come if you call him. He's not on good terms with some of out family."

And with a roll of his eyes, Albert went outside to have a cigarette, he didn't want to be there when Fia arrived.

ooc:Does Bella have Moo or did she drop it?
