New ally 2

Morrigan greets Aria as she walks through the portal.

"Aria I knew I had sensed a fallen one but not one that meant any harm. It's so good to see you . " Morrigan hugs Aria before hugging Aisling and Maureen.

"I am relieved that it is Aria that I sensed. As long as it is Aria Shiro will be safe. Aria how did you come to be here in this place?" Morrigan asks Aria.

"I remembered that you lived near here once. I thought that if you were to ever come back I could see you. I also thought because you used to live here no one would think a fallen one would be here. I was right for the most part no one has in all the years I've been here. " Aria smiles at Morrigan as she gets her a cup of tea. Taking the tea cup from Aria as she takes a seat Morrigan motions for Aisling and Maureen to sit as well.

" ladies have a seat and chat for a few minutes with us. We need to make some plans. Aria I understand that you know who Shiro is. " Morrigan sips her tea as Aria begins to explain.

"Yes I sensed him when he arrived yesterday. I watched him for awhile when he was shopping. I saw his pendent and knew he was connected somehow to you. You are famous for using enchanted jewelry for protection and control. I didn't know he was that little fox from all those years ago until I saw these two today. I warn them of the human Kati, she is not as she seems. There is an evil entity influencing her. I'm not sure what kind it is because I cannot Chanel or vibe it. If it's a ghost then someone who sees them will be able to detect it immediately. If it's a demon then a light barer can . The key is to have someone that has those gifts that can detect them and not let the entity know it. Kati has been the cause of numerous deaths here and has never been under suspicion. It's only because of the connection to the entity that has helped her. Kati set her sights on your little fox yesterday. " Aria tells them . Aisling gets concerned because of Shiro is in danger then so is Lilli.

"Maureen are you still able to cast a spirit barrier?" Morrigan asks her.

"I haven't placed one since I first arrived in West Virginia. That was more than a hundred years ago now." Maureen says as she stands to pace and think. Aisling watches as Maureen paces.

"I'm sure that with all of the family we can do it as a coven. We have a more than enough of the different gifts to do it. We have gifts of all the elements as well as three that can either sense or see spirits. Lilli sees spirits while Alex and William can see demons. Lotus has the gift to control the shadows while Opal and Crystal control the soul stones. If it's to strong to vanquish we can have Opal and Crystal to trap it in a soul stone. We can always ask Legeia to help. "Aisling tells Maureen. Aria looks at them surprised.

"Legeia she is with Uzil's crew, why do you think she will help you?" Aria asks them.

"Well Legeia is my brother's grandmother in law and Uzil is my father in law. They both will step in and help if needed. Opal is my niece and Legeia's grand daughter. " Aisling explains. Morrigan stands and goes to look out the window. Smiling she shimmers out and returns a few moments later with a visitor.

"Aria I would like you to meet Shiro , you knew him when he was Kitori. He has a few gifts that will come in handy as well. Shiro this is my friend Aria she is a fallen one but not a bad one. We have found out that your neighbor Kati has an evil entity controlling her." Morrigan explains to Shiro. Shiro looks at Aisling and smiles because he is so happy to see her.

"Ok I understand, but how did you all know to come. Kati has a grudge against my uncle . Evidently she blames him for her ex boyfriend's death in college. She thought I was his son yesterday when we met. " Shiro asks.

"Well yesterday when Morrigan came to make a new portal she sensed Aria . So Maureen and I came to check things out. That when we met up with her and she told us about Kati. She also sensed that Maureen was carrying a demon in her body. She is a light barer she sensed it when she took her hand. " Aisling tells shiro.

"The demon where was it at!" Shiro asks.

"It was dormant near my ankle." Maureen shows him that her scar is gone.

Shiro thinks a moment and looks up at Maureen with his eyes large with fear.

"It was the snake, the one I killed when you were walking with Lilli. You were pregnant at the time . I burned the snake up and sucked the venom out. I then place a dead snake that is common in your area close by so no one would worry.I placed you in a sleep so you would not remember me helping you. I did not know it was a demon. It's odd that my now mother was possessed by a snake demon and the original shiro was tainted by the demon. If you had one dormant why did William not become tainted." Shiro explained and asked a question that no one thought of. Aria smiles at him and explains.

"William is a light barer he cannot be poisoned. The snake demon poisons it's male victims making them sick till they die. While it will posses and eventually kill its female hosts. I think that because Maureen is a light barer and pregnant with one as well it could not become active. I am not sure if it ever could have become active. Though the venom of the snake without interference could have killed her because she is still human. You saved them not knowing that you could have been poisoned yourself. Now I wonder if the demon was targeting your mate and not Maureen. Demons cannot always know when a person is gifted or not so since Maureen was pregnant to him it was another victim to plant his spawn in. I think that particular demon was sent because of the fear of your mate being able to stop him. Once the child of his current host was born it would have known exactly how long he would live and how he would die. He could have seen you take over his life and that Lilli would be the key to his death. If that's the case you saved a lot of people including your mate on that day." Aria tells Shiro and Maureen.

"I will send Lilli at the weekend to visit that way she can get a feeling if the entity is a ghost or something else. If Remi agrees maybe we can make it a family visit. We can bring Crystal and Alex with us. That is if Aria doesn't mind us using her portal instead of yours. If Kati is watching you she will notice if we arrive at your home or not. If we come by portal it will be strange that we are at your house with out arriving. Where as we can make it seem that we are visiting Aria and arrived today. We can have the others arrive in a rental car after they portal to the airport instead. We have done that before when we went to Japan to see shiro at his mountain mansion. That way there will be less suspicions " Aisling suggests to the group.

"I think that would be a safe way to do it. I can agree to that and you ladies can visit and walk around the neighborhood over the next few days so that it won't be to strange that your family would visit on the weekend. You can even be seen chatting with shiro so that it would not be strange to bring your children to visit him. " Aria suggested.

"So then that means I will get to see Lilli this weekend. I will be able to take her along with the others of course around the town." Shiro's face lights up at the thought of spending so much time with Lilli . A thought dawns on Shiro, Aria can be Lilli's cover in case his dad visits and she happens to be here at the same time. It's perfect in that way. Morrigan smacks the back of Shiro's head.

"Hey we are dealing with something that we do not understand yet. Do not go day dreaming and thinking of a way to keep Lilli with you. You do not want your parents to think that she is not a good and honorable girl. " Morrigan tells Shiro sternly. Bowing his head in shame for thinking of deceiving his father and placing everyone in danger over his selfishness. Shiro apologized quickly.
