The City of Ruin

[Callie]

Xavier

I nodded. "Okay. Hope you're back soon," I told her with a smile.
"That was all pretty cheesy," Cam said, dropping some clothes next to me and Coral, then grinning and walking off again.

[Jadey!]

Coral

I grinned and then nodded "I may even creep in tonight and make sure you alright." I bobbed in the water and then grabbed the clothes and dived beneath the surface and slipped them on watching the dress disappear into my scales.

[alex]

Margareta

I walked toward Cam when I saw her. "Did they work things out?" I asked her. "Oh, that's Vicky," I said quickly before she could ask.

[Callie]

Cameron

I shrugged. "I guess so. They're being all corny and Xavier confessed his love for her, so I guess so. Nice to meet you, Vicky." I smiled at her and held my hand out. "I'm Cameron or Cam. Whichever."

Xavier

"Right." I nodded.

[Jadey!]

Coral

I watched him stand up and prepare to go and then I frowned when the sea began to foam around me "Oh what now mother." I huffed and took one last look before diving deep and swimming really fast home to see what mum wanted. When I got thier I waited while the guards introduced me Introducing her royal highness Princess Coral.
The both bowed and I smiled "Thanks." I mumbled and headed over to my mother "Whats the matter." She began and I sat quietly.

[alex]

Vicky

I shook her hand. "Nice to meet you," I said with a smile. "So, now might not be the time to ask him if I can join?" I scowled slightly.
I shrugged. "He's probably in a good mood now."

[Callie]

Cameron

"Yeah, I'll even ask him for you." I turned around to face him. "XAVIER!" I yellled.
He rolled his eyes and walked over. "Yeah?"
"This is Vicky. She wants to help us on our quest for world domination," I said, cackling evilly.
Xavier smiled and held his hand out to her. "Don't mind her, she's a little on the crazy side. But the rest of us are decent. And sure you can. We can always use more people. 'Course, you'll have to show us you can fight, like Zane, but..." he shrugged and Zane joined us instead of standing all by his lonesome.

[alex]

Vicky

I laughed at Cam and shook his hand. "Sure, no problem." I winked at Zane. I felt quite cheerful, for some reason, maybe because I finally had something to do. A purpose.

[Callie]

Zane

I just waggled my eyebrows at Vicky in return and smirked. "So now what?"
"Now... we head home," Xavier said with a shrug.

[alex]

Vicky

I gasped slightly but covered it up with a cough. We get to live there? Awesome! I kind of wanted to get my jacket, I'd left it in the abandon building that I'd slept in. Oh well, I could get it later. I grinned widely. "Sure." I glanced at Zane again. Tonight I'd done everything that wasn't "me", maybe I should do that more often...

[Callie]

Cameron

"Do doo doo doooo!" I said loudly, skipping down the sidewalk. Xavier shook his head at me and followed.

[alex]

Vicky

Margareta laughed and followed Cam. I walked up to Zane as we slowly followed them.
"So, quite a night for us, huh?" I asked.

[Callie]

Zane

I nodded. "Oh yes. Not to mention that guy said that Xavier and I were brothers. What if he's right?" I asked, arching an eyebrow. " 'Coz, I mean, we look pretty alike. Well, except for the fact that I got the startling good looks," I said with an overexaggerated hairflip and a smirk. "Just kidding."

[alex]

Vicky

I smirked, biting back a sarcastic remark. Instead I decided to do something that wasn't like me. "Well, I wasn't going to argue you, it's kinda true."

[Callie]

Zane

"Kinda?" I asked with a grin. "I guess I can deal with that." I winked at her and smiled. "You're not too bad yourself," I told her seriously.

[alex]

Vicky

I blushed but I tried to cover it up with a smile... it made sense in my head. "So, you're going to stay at the house too... right?"

[Callie]

Zane

I shrugged. "I might. But probably not."

[alex]

Vicky

"But..." I said and bit my bottom lip slowly. "What if I wanted to you stay?"

[Callie]

Zane

I shook my head. "Sorry, sweetheart. No can do. But I can at least tell you I'll be there a lot."

[alex]

Vicky

I sighed slightly. "Not even for one night?" I asked before shrugging. "Oh well, your loss."

[Callie]

Zane

I laughed. "Maybe one night. Or two," I allowed, nodding.

[alex]

Vicky

I smirked. "What about tonight?"

[Callie]

Zane

"Hmm... maybe."

[alex]

Vicky

I nodded. "Fair enough," I said as they finally stopped in front of some house. "This is it?" I asked.

[Callie]

Xavier

"Yeah. Welcome to The Shithole," Cam announced, opening the door of the beat-up warehouse and going inside.
"She's not kidding; that's seriously what she named it," I told Vicky and Zane, smiling a bit.
Zane grinned. "I like the name. And the place. It's homey," he said teasingly.

[Jadey!]

Coral

An hour later I understood and sighed "Well yes...but im not ready for it now...Besides i've got work to do...If you give me the diamond now...I can wear it while in mermaid and it'll just sink into non-existance if I change back right?" I looked and her and she smiled before coughing and nodding at me "Right i'm going back...no need to arrange a marriage...i have someone in mind for when the fighting is over." I smiled and she nodded waving and kissing me goodbye. I swam quickly looking for the entrance to the river which ran just behind the warehouse, I found it not long later and sped up it jumping out of the water and onto the bank where I had a towel waiting in a box. Drying myself off took ten minutes and smiling I put my hair in a ponytail and headed towards the warehouse and went through the open door.

[alex]

Vicky

"Yeah," I said and looked around as we walked inside. It had a roof, that was all I cared about.

Margareta

"Well, I'm going to bed," I said with a smile. "Night guys." I walked into my room and changed into a big t-shirt before laying down in my bed.

[Callie]

Cameron

"NIGHT VIOLET!" I yelled, plopping down on the couch, Xavier next to me.
"I called the couch."
"No you didn't."
"Yeah I did."
"No you didn't."
"Yeah I did."
"No you didn't."
"Yes I did."
"No you - "
"Fine, you can have the couch," he finally exclaimed, getting off of it and rolling his eyes.
I smirked and got up, too. "Nah, I'm gonna go to bed. I just wanted to irritate you. Hi Coral. G'night Coral," I said, running off to my room."

Xavier

I smiled a bit and waved at Coral before looking at Vicky and Zane. "I'll, uh, show you your rooms," I told them, walking down the hallway and motioning for them to follow. "This is Margareta's room, a bathroom, the office, another bathroom, spare bedroom, spare bedroom, Cam's room, my room, Coral's room, and this one will be your room, Vicky," I said, opening the door. and then opening the door of the one next to it. "And this can be yours, Zane."

[alex]

Vicky

"Oh, great," I said and smiled at Xavier. "Thank you so much." I looked inside the room. It had a freaking bed! "I think I'm gonna take a quick shower." I walked into the bathroom. Usually when I wanted to shower, I had to break into someone's house.

[Callie]

Xavier

"No problem," I said with a smile as Zane nodded by way of thanks and went into his room. I went back into the living room to Coral. "That was quick," I remarked, smiling slightly.
