"My dear, I am quite certian." The duchess said, smiling. "You have the kindness determination, and character that is required of the position." She looked up the stairs. "And, unlike my other son and his consort, you and Fangry are far better suited to run the Strauss clan, because of how well you are able to work together." Seeing the look on Emmy's face, she stood up, and put her hand on the girl's cheek. "Child, is something troubling you?"

Emerald found herself blushing again before it subsided when Anistasia touched her cheek. She let out a small sigh,
"Has Wolfgang told you about my past at all? Has he told you what happened to me...what caused my mutation to manifest? If he hasnt Im sure that after you here it you might reconsider." Emerald said, eyes averted to the floor.

For a split second, Hannah felt lightheaded. She had enough sense to gently place Lena in her father's arms before the electricity carrying her duffle bag behind her sparked and died, leaving the duffle to fall onto the floor. "Fritz?" And then she was down.

Fritz looked down at Hannah in shock. "Mien Gott, Hannah!" Holding the child in one arm, he helped Hannah back to her feet with his other arm. "Let's get vou to bed!" He took her into a well decorated bedroom, with a lace canopy bed and laid her on it. "Vow are vou feeling now?" He asked in a soft tone.
Downstairs, Anistasia made a dissmissive gesture. "You mean the experiments? I know of them. Wolfgang din't ell me, but when one has money, information is not hard to find. No it does not bother me, I care not who you were, but instead who you are." Wolfgang walked over to Emmy's side. "So, I ask again do you accept my offer?"

Emerald was surprised to say the least that Anistasia didnt care about the experiments. She smiled at her before saying, "Yes I accept." Emerald said with a smile.

Hannah muttered something unintelligible, her eyes still closed. Yup, her immune system seemed to have crashed in a sense. "...think I have the flu." She mumbled, trying to force her temperature back down through sheer strength of will. But, of course, it didn't work.

Fritz Sighed. "Very Vell, I zhall ve taking care of zee kids.... and of vou." He put his hand on her cheek. "It's avout time I live up to my rezponzibilities. I'm......I'm zorry Hannah, vor veing zuch a vool. Can vou ever forgive me?"
Wolgfgang looked over at Emerald. "Zere is something else you must accept first." He said, and handed her a small black box. Inside..... was a large and beatiful dimond ring. "It's made from a diamond, mined vrom our great mountians. I zink vou know vhy I'm giving it to vou." He said with a warm smile.

"Oh my god....I LOVE YOU!" Emerald happily barked, throwing her arms around Fangry. She couldnt believe this she honestly couldnt believe this. After everything that has happened in her life she couldnt believe this was happening to her.

Hannah whimpered as she sat up. "Can I have Lena?" She asked, her voice hoarse. Lena was happily in her father's arms, giggling. Well, at least she liked him more than her sister did. "Yes, I can forgive you." she muttered as she took the girl from Fritz. As she sat there with Lena, her face grew yet paler. "Don't need to be taken care of." Hannah said softly. She didn't like having people take care of her, she was used to taking care of herself.

Fritz growled at her. "Zhen vhat do vou want?" He asked in exasperation. "Vou vant me to help take care of my daughters, yet you vill not let me touch zhem. Vou vant me to ve there vor you, yet vou push me avay at every oppourtunity. Vou can't keep cazting me az zee bad guy Hannah, some of ziz iz your vault!" He looked down at his daughter. "Und you're wrong Hannah, you do need looked after."
Downstairs, Wolfgang was to busy hugging Emerald to notice what his mother was saying. "Zo Emmy, vou still haven't given me an anzer, vou still have to zay yes or no."

She didn't know what had set him off this time. She hadn't been trying to blame anything on him. She just wanted to hold Lena. Kristin was still with Anistasia, but Hannah knew Fritz needed to make an impression on the older of the twins. Kristin had a habit of putting up a forcefield of fire when people she didn't like were near her. She obviously liked her grandmother, but she didn't have a clue who Fritz was, where as Lena liked, or just tolerated, her father. For a moment she looked crestfallen and confused, and then she held Lena back out to him, mostly as a sign of good faith.

"Should we check On Hannah and Fritz? I hope she didnt try to kill him." Emerald said with a sigh

He looked down at the child and smiled. "Vell, at leazt zhat's a ztart." he replied happily. "Maybe we could turn zhings around, after all."
Wolfgang smiled, then nodded. "Let'z go upztairs, und see vhat iz happening." He agreed with Emmy.
Outside the castle meanwhile, a shadowdy figure was scaling the walls, heading for The room hannah was in....

"Fritz," She started, trying to figure out someway to phrase it gently and without making him mad, "Kristin doesn't know who you are. Lena loves you, but her sister's oblivious." Hannah placed Lena in Fritz's arms and laid back down, feeling another headache coming on.

Fritz looked down at her. "Rest, my sveet hannah, vou desereve it." He took the girl, and walked out into the hall.
"Zomething's not right!" Wolfgang said, sniffing at the air. "Zhere somevon on zee grounds."

Emerald sniffed the air as well, catchin a similar scent. "Youre right, You go check on the grounds and Im gonna check on Hannah to make sure she is alright." Emerald said, tail sticking up. She ran to the place where had caught Hannah's scent and looked at her worriedly.
"You okay?" She asked, looking at her best friend with concerned filled eyes.

Hannah curled up, trying to soothe her headache. Stupid lights. As she thought about it, her body sparked and short-circuited the lights in her room. Her senses were all messed up. Usually she had the enhanced senses and abilites of a wolf or big cat. Now they were just normal, like a human's.

Fritz ran out past Emerald, and rushed down the steps. "Take zee girls to saftey." He said sternly. He ran out onto the grounds after Wolfgang.
Outside, wolfgang was searching around, when he saw the figure going up the side of the wall. "Hey, you there!" He yelled, and the man leapt down at him, tackling him to the ground. Inside, Hannah and Emerald heard the howls of three wolves coming from outside the window.

((Hey Fang's Kristen is still with The boys grandmother.))
Emerald snarled at Fritz as he ran past her. Her eyes softened when he put Lena in her arms though. She looked at Hannah with a smile on her face.
"Hannah someone wants to see you really badly." Emerald said in a soft tone. She heard the howling outside and got a bit worried but her mission was to keep everyone calm.
