Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Grazie,"She thanked him, taking the chocolate and pecking his hair lightly,"Well I'll leave you two to yourselves then. I have something to talk about with Feli." With that the Italian bid them goodbye and left the room while biting into the chocolate. She made her way back to the painting room, giving one light knock on the door to let him know she'd returned.

Madrid watched Lucillia leave before looking at Angelo. "What kind are those?"He asked polightly, hoping he might be able to gauge just what time period it was by trying to remember what kind of products were made.

Madrid blinked and nodded some, taking one of the offered treats. He became a little lost in his thoughts as he ate the chocolate, watching the window absently.

The door opened as Lucillia walked in, moving over to her brother's side. "What was the letter about..?"She asked lightly, standing beside him while watching him paint.

"What? If anything they've been coming into ours,"The Italian girl muttered, her hands on her hips. She shook her head some and examined his painting, tipping her head a little to the side after a moment. "Angelo and the Spaniard?" She asked, looking at her elder brother.

"They are pretty cute together,"Lucillia mused, a slight smile curving her lips,"Have you noticed anything... Off about the Spaniard? Well, more then usual at any rate... He seems less clingy to his siblings then I remember." She glanced at him with a finger tapping lightly on her lower lip.

The brunette nodded in understanding, a thoughtful frown crossing her face. "I have a bad feeling about him... Why would he just suddenly act different then how he usually does,"She asked, partly to herself. Shaking the thoughts from her head she sighted some and reached up to pull out some of the hair pins that held her hair up. "I'm going to change... Call me if you need me Fratello." With that the girl walked out of the room and headed to her own.

Sunlight lit the room as a loud knocking could be heard breaking the once peaceful atmosphere of the city appartment. It's one occupant woke with a start, grey eyes blinking sleepily before stiffening widening. The first thing that was wrong was that it was very much daylight outside. The other was that his seroundings were compleatly wrong. The Spaniard tumbled out of bed, his heart racing as he looked around franticly. "M-Marcia?! A-Antonio?"He shouted, eyes starting to gloss over with frightened tears. The teen let out a yelp when an unknown voice called from inside the apartment.

"Jose? Jose what's wrong, Angelo's been knocking for a while,"A girl said coming into view before hurring over to him,"Jose-"

"Don't touch me!" Jose screamed, quickly backing up to the wall, shaking like mad,"Don't come near me! Where's mi familia?! What have you done to them?!"

The scared Spaniard mearly pressed himself even closer to the wall, tears starting to stream down his face. "G-G-Get away from me!"He choked out, nothing but fear in his eyes,"Y-You're ju-just here for the m-money aren't y-you?! Wh-Where are M-Marcia a-and Antonio?" Finally the teen gave up holding back and started sobbing pleas in Spanish, and accented English and Italian. He curled in on himself, rocking back and forth as he had, for all intents and purposes, a mental brake down. Everything was wrong and he was scared senseless.

The Spaniard's eyes snapped open and he let out a blood curdling scream, pushing the Island away from him with a strength he didn't usually posses as a human. Not having the mental state to process he possibly just tossed the shorter half way across the room, he scrambled to his feet and bolted towards the door only to run into Anne and her concerned mother who'd entered the apartment. "Jose!"The two women cried when the poor teen finally fainted, another scream fading with his consciousness. The two crouched next to the unconscious teen, Anne looking at Sicily in confusion. "What is going on?"
