Welcome to Gaia! ::

Damian sighed as one by one the other dancers left. He looked at Bill before stepping away from him. "Let's end practice here for today. Good job," he said. Then he went to get his jacket and left the room as well. He found Niko in the hall outside Louie's room and gently put his hand on the other's shoulder. "You alright Niko?" he asked softly.

((Bill was with Damian right? Can't remember. So much going on.))

Louie didn't make it far before his legs suddenly gave out. He fell on his face and sprawled out on the floor. That had never happened before but when he looked up the Black Swan was standing there..in the black swan outfit he had seen the performer in when he had sneaked out to see swan lake. He stared surprised and frightened he had never been able to see his other self before. He was even more startled when the hallucination spoke. "No..no way in hell! I took beatings for you..and I protected you from your father..I brought you to this damn place..and the thanks I get is no happiness. Niko loves me..and you're so caught up in the man who you lost your chance with you won't let me have mine!" the figure cried out. The White Swan flinched and started to cry try to move but he couldn't move his legs. "Stop it..why..why are you going to make us both unhappy I'm not letting have control!" he cried out not even caring if anyone saw him yelling at the air. The Black Swan only smirked and laughed. "Then..I will make it so you never dance again..I won't give you back control of your legs..ever! The reason Adrian loved you will be gone and you will be alone just like me!" he said laughing manically.

Louie was laying on the floor weeping as The Black Swan laughed at him. "He..loves..me." Louie stammered The Black Swan only laughed hard. "He loves you're beautiful dancing not you you know what..and I'm going to take it a way unless you let it out you're very reason for being here..will be gone!" he said with a sadistic smile. Louie lay there and curled into a little ball the best he could without being able to move his legs. "Please..stop..stop..please." he begged softly. "Please stop!!!" he screamed out as loud as he could.

Arrow sighed and let go of Adrian's hand. He scrubbed his tears way as he listened to Adrian speak. He wasn't weak. He would continue to live. It wasn't the end of the world. He had finally told Adrian how he felt. He smiled a little and chuckled.

"It's alright Adrian. It's not your fault. I fell in love, part of love is pain," he said. He looked up when he heard the scream as well. He recognized it as Louie's voice.

"Yes. It's Louie. Come on let's go see what's wrong. I can tell you're worried about him," he said. He stood up and tugged on Adrian's arm to get him to his feet.


Damian nodded to Bill. "Good," he said.

In the hall he turned from Niko and looked at Louie. He blinked. "The White Swan and the Black Swan are......fighting? Why?" he said softly. He looked at Niko. "What happened, Niko?" he asked. He was perplexed. The Black Swan protected Louie. Now they were fighting? What could be the cause?

Adrian was already up and running by the time Arrow finished his sentence. Within minutes he was in front of Niko and Damien, waiting for an explanation.

Adrian was at his side in a second when he heard that shy voice. "Louie, darling, can you tell me what's happened, please?" he asked, concern in his voice.

Arrow watched as Adrian and Damian took care of Louie. He didn't want to come between the two anymore. He looked at Niko and patted the smaller's head. His phone started to ring, signaling he had a text. Arrow took it out and read it quickly. Then he put his phone away. He turned to Niko. "I'm leaving. Tell the others if you can," he said softly. Then he turned and left.

Arrow first went to visit his parents and they talked about the text for a long time. A doctor had said they could fix his voice, but it would be risky. Arrow was for it, he was tired of being unable to talk properly. His parents took a little bit of convicing but finally they agreed as well. Arrow then texted the director and told him about it. He needed some time off but he would be back a few weeks before the show. If everything went well. The director gave him the time off. Once that was settled he said good bye to his family and went to his appartment. He kicked off his shoes and went to bed in his clothes.
