Talon's family meeting by stuartpierce on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

[Talon] All right, family meeting time.

[Damon] Maybe, I should wait outside?

[Talon] Who thinks Uncle Damon should stay?

4 hands shoot up. Talon smiles and shrugs at Damon.

[Talon] Now I need everyone to listen. An ancient evil has decided to settle in the Forbidden Forest. It's not close, but it is here.

[Talon] You, two. [Talon points to the twins.] If you are out after dark, You need to be together -- within sight of each other. Got it? [The twins nod.]

[Talon] Blair, I don't want you out after dark at all. No falling asleep, no chasing butterflies, no following a wounded deer, or whatever, after dusk. Understand?

[Blair] Yes, Dad.

[Talon] Damon, I don't have any authority to tell you what to do. I know you are an experienced witch, and I expect you've seen your share of fights. If you visit, I'd like you to come before sunset. If it's after sunset, I'd like you to stay. I don't care whose bed you sleep in, but I prefer you don't go home alone. All right?

[Damon, nodding] Do you know what it is?

[Talon] We have a pretty good idea. It won't attack in the daytime, and it rarely goes after witches. The Witches Council is deciding what's to be done. In the meantime, follow these rules, and we should all be safe.
