Daddy Thrax-An OJ RP (Chp 64)

*Morning*

Thrax: *slowly opens his eyes, yawning slightly before looking down at his 'daughter'*

Northstar: *is sleeping, slightly curled at his side, ears twitching in her sleep*

Thrax: *softly smiles and gently slips out of the bed to make breakfast for his 'family'*

Northstar: *wakes up as she feels him moving*

Thrax: *kisses her forehead* It's okay I'm just going to make breakfast alright. *gets up and heads out of the room but keeps a sharp eye and ear open for Ozzy*

Northstar: *follows him seeming perkier than yesterday*

Thrax: *sees her out of the corner of his eye and smiles, entering the kitchen and begins cooking*

Northstar: *goes back to the form she was in when she was found and watches him*

Thrax: *sets breakfast on the table, oatmeal for Northstar, bacon and eggs for Ozzy and just some water for himself* Now where is Ozzy?

Ozzy: *turned his alarm off rather than hitting snooze this morning*

Thrax: Ozzy! Breakfast!

Ozzy: mmph? *rolls over, yawning* mmm...

Thrax: *sighs and heads to Ozzy's room and tears the covers off him* Ozzy get up.

Ozzy: Hmm? *sits up , rubbing his eyes* Tim t'get up already?

Thrax: *nods* Yes and hurry up, your breakfast is ready and you've got work today.

Ozzy: hm? *looks at the clock* Oh sh... *almost swore there and hurries to get dressed*

Thrax: *shakes his head and goes back to the kitchen*

Northstar: *eating her breakfast*

Thrax: *swallows a long gulp of water*

Northstar: *drinks her milk and giggles a bit as Ozzy comes quickly into the kitchen*

Thrax: *looks towards Ozzy, slightly smirking as Ozzy rushes in*

Ozzy: *sits at the table* heh heh. *chuckles nervously and eats his breakfast*

Thrax: Remember what I said about timekeeping Ozzy. *takes another drink of water*

Ozzy: *cringes a little bit*I remember.

Thrax: *nods*

Northstar: *finishes up her breakfast*

Thrax: *gets another glass of water*

Northstar: *wipes her mouth and burps a lil*

Thrax: Northstar, manners.

Northstar: *softly* Scuze me

Thrax: *nods* Better. *looks at Ozzy* You finish up Ozzy or you'll be late.

Ozzy: *nods and finishes his breakfast*

Thrax: *gathers up the dishes and does the washing up*

Northstar: *tugs on his sleeve*

Thrax: *turns to her* Yes, Northstar?

Northstar: Can I go outside and play?

Thrax: *strokes her hair* Alright but stay in the garden and come back inside if there's trouble.

Northstar: *smiles and goes outside*

Thrax: *chuckles, placing the dishes away* Ozzy you better get going.

Ozzy: *nods and stands up* yeah I better... heh.. cheif'd probably stick me in the corner again if I'm late.

Thrax: *chuckles* See you later, sweetie. *kisses his forehead*

Ozzy: *nuzzles him* love you.

Thrax: Love you to, baby.

Ozzy: *hugs him and heads to work*I

Thrax: *chuckles to himself as he heads outside and sits on a deck chair, beginning to read*

Northstar: *occupies herself running from one bush to another*

Thrax: *looks up at the girl smiling* To be young and carefree.

Northstar: *starts to chase a bug*

Thrax: *smiles towards but keeps on full alert in case of trouble or danger*

Northstar: *explores some of the odd plants around, unused to them*

Thrax: *crosses his legs as he watches Northstar explore her new surroundings*

Northstar: *takes one of the branches and actually nibbles on a leaf*

Thrax: *runs over to her and takes the branch from her* Honey, I wouldn't eat those plants if I were you.

Northstar: Why?

Thrax: Some of the things in this body are not what they seem. *he see one of the plant is actually a germ* See what I mean? *flares his claw a bit a burns the parasite to a crisp*

Northstar: What was that?

Thrax: A parasite, nasty things.

Northstar: Uh huh.... *nuzzle*

Thrax: *nuzzles her back* Be careful around here, ya don't know what you'll run into.

Northstar: *nods again and goes back to her play*

Thrax: *sighs with relief and goes back to his reading*

Northstar: *starts to climb a tree*

Thrax: *keeps looking in her direction to make sure nothing happens to her*

Northstar: *gets up a little ways then starts to cry* and cling onto the limb*

Thrax: *runs over to her and lifts her down* Are you alright, honey?

Northstar: *nods and clings onto him still crying

Thrax: *gently rubs her back* It's okay now, ssshhh-ssshhh-ssshhh. You're safe.

Northstar: *sniffles into his shoulder, calming fairly quickly, she isn't hurt, she just scared herself*

Thrax: *lifts her up and sits back on the deck chair cradling her*

Northstar: *sniffles* I'm sorry...

Thrax: It's not your fault, honey. Never your fault.

Northstar: *looks up at him* But I’m not supposed to be afraid of high places... *which is why she got frightened when Ozzy put her on his shoulder... it was high and it scared her*

Thrax: *rubs her back* We all get scared sometimes, doesn't matters what it but fear is an emotion that is part of who we are and what makes us who we are.

Northstar: *looks up at him* Are you scared of anything?

Thrax: The only fear I have is for the safety of my family.

Northstar: *nuzzles him a little*

Thrax: *holds her close, nuzzling her* I promise I'll protect til the end of time.

Northstar: *nuzzles back a little* That's a long time.

Thrax: *smiles at her* Believe me it's a promise I will keep.

Northstar: *rests her head on his shoulder, feeling better

Thrax: *begins humming to her, rubbing her back*

Northstar: *hugs him, soon seeming ready to be put down*

Thrax: *nuzzles her nose and sets her down* Now you be careful okay?

Northstar: *nods* I’ll be careful.

Thrax: *pats her head* Good girl, now run long now.

Northstar: *smiles and rushes back into the garden to play*

Thrax: *chuckles lightly, laying back in the deck chair slightly dosing*

Northstar: *while playing in some bushes she sees someone coming up the street and hurries back to Thrax, hiding under his trench coat*

Thrax: What the? *lifts his trench coat slightly to see Northstar* What's wrong honey?

Northstar: *softly* Strangers. *hides her face in his stomach*

Thrax: *lows growl escapes Thrax's throat* Get inside and hide in your room until I call you okay?

Northstar: *nods and hurries inside, going to her room*

Thrax: *watches her go and turns to see who she spotted* Oh no- *groans*

Vic: *walking with his wife, smiling and chatting about this and that*

Marie: *sees Thrax and waves*

Thrax: *heart in his throat as he waves back, sheepishly*

Vic: *chuckles, approaching his son as they get closer* What's wrong son you look like you got your hand caught in the cookie jar.

Thrax: Oh nothing, nothing's wrong.

Marie: *cocks a brow* Thrax the last time you acted like this was the day we met Ozzy.

Vic: Well what's going on?

Thrax: *swallows a lump in his throat* Well . . *gulp* I have a guest staying with me and Ozzy but she's very shy and timid so she has trouble trusting new people.

Vic: Oh?

Thrax: *nods* Didn't trust me or Ozzy at the beginning until she saw that we were no threat to her.

Vic: And where is this guest?

Thrax: Leave her be father, it's just too soon.

Vic: What is she?

Thrax: I'm not entirely sure but she's from outside the body.

Vic: Is she a pathogen?

Thrax: *shakes his head* No she isn't. She is not a virus nor a cell. She's not even sure how she got here.

Vic: *looks to Marie

Marie: Vic it's best if we don't intrude or ask questions until the time is right.

Vic: *nods*

Thrax: *smiles* Thank you both. In time you will meet her but for it may take a while.

Vic: *nods* In the meantime could you dispel a little of our suspense? *chuckles*

Thrax: *raises his brow slightly*

Vic: well tell us a little about her.

Thrax: I know little of her myself but she been through a similar situation to Ozzy's.

Marie: Oh Frank.- *begins to feel ill*

Vic: Poor thing... how old is she?

Thrax: She seems to be 12 or 13 but she could be younger than that.

Vic: So she's literally just a child.

Thrax: *nods then turns away slightly biting his lip*

Vic: *chuckles* We have another grandchild don't we?

Thrax: Don't get your hopes up. It's her choice if she chooses to stay or go.

Vic: Well... I have a feeling.

Marie: Like he said Vic, it's her choice and I'm not holding my breath about it.

Vic: *nods*

Thrax: When she's ready she'll tell me what she chooses to do.

*the front door opens a slight crack, curiosity having gotten the best of the youngster, not much of her can be seen, only an eye and a bit of hair*

Thrax: *ears twitch and he turns round to the door*

*the door shuts again quickly*

Thrax: *turns back to his parents* Excuse me for a minute. *heads back into the house*

Northstar: *has gone back to her room again*

Thrax: *sighs and follows her* You know, curiosity isn't a crime.

Northstar: *bites her lower lip, knowing she was caught disobeying him*

Thrax: *sits next to her* I'm not mad if you wish to meet them it's alright, honey.

Northstar: *softly* you're not mad?

Thrax: *strokes her face* No I'm not. You wanted to see who I was talking to and that's not a crime.

Northstar: Even though I disobeyed you?

Thrax: Even that, young spirit. *kisses her forehead*

Northstar: *looks up at him, her eyes glistening with tears*

Thrax: *wipes away her tears* Like I said I'm not mad at you, honey.

Northstar: ... *glomps him*

Thrax: *wraps his arms round her holding her close* Do you wish to meet them?

Northstar: Who are they?

Thrax: *smiles* My parents. Vic and Marie Rojo.

Northstar: They're your mommy and daddy?

Thrax: *nods* Yes. Don't let father scare you he has a good heart and there's more to mother than meets the eye.

Northstar: *sucks her thumb*

Thrax: *strokes her face* Listen, honey. Despite the fact that they're viruses doesn't mean they will harm you *chuckles* heck, mother's actually an Immunity Virus.

Northstar: She is?

Thrax: *nods* Was one of the best back in the day before she was falsely accused.

Northstar: Are they out there still?)

Thrax: Yes, they are waiting outside. Father wishes to meet you but mother and I think it's too soon.

Northstar: *nods a little and clings to him, her thumb in her mouth*

Thrax: *gently takes her in his arms* What do you wish to do, homey?

Northstar: I don't know..

Thrax: Would love to see you, honey but like I said it's your choice. *strokes her hair*

Northstar: *softly* I’m scared...

Thrax: I know but they're really nice when you get to know them like you did with me and Ozzy.

Northstar: *softly* My arm hurts.

Thrax: *cradled her close, gently rubbing her arm as he began rocking her back and forth*

Marie: *sitting Indian style on the porch waiting* He'll probably be up there for a while, Vic.

Vic: *nods* likely.

Northstar: *rests her head on his shoulder and sniffles* My daddy never holds me like this...

Thrax: *sighs* You're defiantly in the same the position as my Ozzy.

Northstar: *softly, nuzzling into his chest* I wish you were my daddy...

Thrax: So do I honey. So do I. *kisses her forehead*

Northstar: *cuddles up to his chest*

Thrax: *strokes her face and sets her on the bed* I'd better get back to my parents. They'll be wondering what's taking me so long. *gets to his feet*

Northstar: *reaches for his hand as he stands and holds it, sliding off the bed*

Thrax: *lifts her up* I won't be long okay?

Northstar: Ok.

Thrax: *sets her back on the bed and heads back to Vic and Marie*

Marie: *meditating as he arrives, slightly opening her eye*

Vic: Is everything alright?

Thrax: Yes, she was afraid I would have punished her for disobeying.

Vic: It was just a bit of childish curiosity)

Thrax: *nods* That's what I told her but she was still scared.

Marie: *doesn't open her eyes* Just like Ozzy.

Vic: Well... knowing you son her fear will diminish soon enough. *smiles* you're just like your mother with children.

Marie: *eyes snap open and she growls at him*

Vic: what's that for. It was a compliment.

Marie: Hmph. . *gets to her feet and stretches her slender body*

Vic: You've always had a way with children Marie.

Marie: Pure instinct dear husband. It just come natural *arches her back and looks at Thrax* and seems to run in the family.

Thrax: *chuckles* No argument there.

Vic: *chuckles as well*

Marie: *stretches her muscles* Immunity or other wise Vic, we she-viruses always had maternal instincts even if we become mothers at a young age.

Vic: I imagine if she takes to either of us right off it will be you Marie.

Marie: Hopefully but one look at my demonic form and she'll run back to you Thrax.

Thrax: You still seem unsure, mother.

Vic: *nuzzles Marie a little*

Marie: *nuzzles him back* I just have doubt that's all.

Vic: *smiles gently* It will be alright.

Marie: *sighs* Vic when you've gone through hell like I have it's hard.

Vic: *nods a little and wraps an arm around her shoulders*

Marie: *lays against him*

Vic: *kisses her on the cheek*

Marie: *kisses him back*

Thrax: *smiles at them* You know at times I'm envious of you two.

Vic:*smiles gently and places a hand on his son's shoulder*

Thrax: *sighs but smiles, giving Vic's hand a gently squeeze*

Vic: *approaches his son and hugs him*

Thrax: *returns the hug* Just I could have done more for you both.

Vic: You've done so much son.

Marie: *nods* So much for us and for them.

Thrax: *smiles* Thank you.

Vic: *smiles* Don’t' sell yourself short son

Thrax: I know but it's hard sometimes.

Vic: We know

Marie: From experience. *arches her back, stretching*

Vic: *purrs a little*

Marie: *purrs back*

Thrax: *slightly chuckles* Can I offer you anything?

Vic: Well... I think I should take Marie's advice so we don't frighten the little one too much.

Thrax: *nods* When she's ready she'll show herself. *gives both of them a hug* Guess I'll see ya around.

Vic: *hugs him back* take care son

Marie: *hugs him back and kisses his forehead* And be careful.

Thrax: I will, of course. Goodbye. *waves*

*Vic and Marie wave back and head towards their home*
