“Perfect than shall we go?” Kai questioned as he rose a brow up.

“We shall,” she nodded with a small laugh, sweeping her arm in front of her. “Please tell me drunk taggers weren’t the most exciting part of your night.”

“Yeah, I think you’re the only one that has that special talent,” It could get annoying some times but being identical came in handy when they were younger.  “Not really.  I was working so you can probably imagine.”

“It’s a gift.” Dria laughed. She liked to pretend that she was the only one, but she was positive that she wasn’t; especially with how many women walked around town looking like their mother. “Oh, any good drunk customer stories tonight?”

“It’s like people lost their minds right now.” Kai sighed slightly about the whole idea but also knew that there were still people who would fight him. “Well if I did that I’d need the company of my loving daughter.”

“Maybe they have. Halloween is a good excuse as any for them to get drunk and accept it.” Dria shrugged. She knew it was why so many people her age had done so many stupid things, and always had. “Well, obviously. I’d know better than to bail on that experience.”

“You would think that because they’re in college they have the brain size of a pea and will fight anything that moves.” He laughed thinking about how stupid teenagers were. “They’re all over the school just waiting for me to arrive.”

“Normally they do. Somehow, no fights happened at any parties I stopped at tonight either. Bizarre.” Dria laughed, her eyebrows drawing together as she thought about it. Colleges were so weird. “I’m sure. You could probably just take a walk and find like, ten.”

“I totally would be,” Kian said with a smile as she picked which bag of candy she wanted.  "The one benefit of eating too much candy.  Being able to be told apart from Liam.“  He wasn’t sure if anyone could actually tell them apart.

“Not everybody has my keen ability to tell you two apart,” Dria teased, shaking her head. It had taken her entire life to tell her brothers apart, and she was positive that was only because of how long she had lived with them. “You have a good Halloween?”

“I was too, it would of been a lot more entertaining.” Kai groaned as he looked toward where they ran before looking back to his daughter. “What’s the point in being feared if people actually run away from you.”

“The satisfaction of knowing frat guys are too pathetic to try squaring up?” Dria shrugged, grinning to herself at the thought. As much as she enjoyed tormenting them just because they got on her nerves, it was fun to laugh at them too. “I’m sure if you looked hard enough, there’s some drunk kids around somewhere tonight that wouldn’t be able to run if they wanted to.”

“You know I could say no but I have six bags of candy in there.  So you have to take one,” Kian said as he looked at the candy he had put in his cart.  "Otherwise I might be a cow before Christmas comes around.“

“Don’t mind if I do.” Dria grinned, digging through the bags he had to find the one she wanted. Even if he had been planning to get them all, if she was taking one she didn’t mind paying for it. “Please, you wouldn’t be a cow. Then it would be easy for strangers to tell you and Liam apart, and we can’t have that.” 

A smirk curved up into his lips as he heard his daughters voice. “She would know, she’s been by my side since the day she was born so I’d quickly run off if I were you.” Kai threatened once again as he cracked his fingers to try and intimidate them which made them drop the spray can and bolt in the opposite direction.

Dria let out a laugh as the boys ran away, practically stumbling. “I expected them to put up more of a fight. That’s disappointing.” 

Kian had walked into the grocery store to grab a few things.  Nothing that he wouldn’t be able to easily carry to his car.  He was walking by an aisle when he saw the 50% off candy sign and he turned to take a look at what they had.  He had a soft spot for sweets which he tried not to buy too much.  The sale was too good to pass up and he started to grab a few bags to toss in his cart.  Enough to last him… probably not as long as it should.

“Aw, you’re getting me candy? Best big brother ever.” Alexandria teased, grinning as she came to a pause by her brother. It looked like they had the same idea, but she couldn’t help giving him trouble all the same. 

Even though it was Halloween, it didn’t stop Kai from helping Felicity plan their wedding but what did stop him was all the teenagers trashing the place which only made his blood boil. Though it was something he would do, he didn’t want to have to be the one cleaning it up. Standing behind a pair of students at the college, Kai raised a brow. “You know.. there are better places to pain than the side of these walls and if you were smart you wouldn’t do it under my watch.”

Dria didn’t go to school, purely out of disinterest and the knowledge she had plenty of time to change her mind. But that didn’t stop her from going to parties when she had the night off, and Halloween had some of the best. She was leaving one of the dorms when she noticed the guys tagging a building, and then she saw her father. “I’d listen to him, he’s scarier than the Halloween monsters everywhere,” she laughed as she announced herself.

“Come on! Please? It’s just a couple photos to put up in the shop and maybe some fliers! I’ll even bake you cookies!”

“The food is a nice touch,” Dria joked, shrugging slightly. “But I probably would’ve caved regardless, I don’t have anything else going on.”

“Yeah…” Elena nodded her head slowly pressing her lips into a thin line.  “I never understood what was going through his mind or what made him that way to begin with.” It always worried Elena about it. “It is, it makes you forget.”

“Maybe it’s better not to know. That seems like a really fine line,” Dria shrugged. She worried about her own sanity enough without needing to wonder about anyone else’s. “That’s the appeal, I think. At least for most people.”

there wasn’t a day that went by that the siphoner wasn’t happy that she had purchased the book cafe all those years ago but sometimes, it could give her a slight headache. this was one of those days as josie blew a stray hair away from her face as she looked through the inventory at the front counter, “there is no way this is right,” muttering under her breath, “who would order 50 copies of Sherlock Holmes?”

Kian stopped when some creep vampire blocked his way to his car.  It was almost four in the morning and he was finishing a very bad night.  "Come on, man.  I’m tired and done with this shit.  Go play this game with someone else,“ He said as he started to walk around the vampire.  He didn’t even get three steps before the vampire sped in front of him again.  “Seriously?  I’m not in the mood.”  

“Yeah, I’ve done it once and it’s not fun.”

“I’ll take your word on it. I’ve come close a couple times out of morbid curiosity. You’d think at some point, they’d give up and move on or something instead of holding the entire town hostage.”
