The griffin landed silently in the front yard. Dawn raised a leaf and leaped on it, supporting Fallow by taking her hand and hip so that she could get down safely. "Come on, I'll show you inside. It's getting late anyway," Dawn said, readjusting her backpack and slipping her hand into her sister's. Fallow bit her lip and nodded, still trying to process the situation.
"Dawn," Fallow croaked softly as she entered the house, "I... I didn't even say goodbye. I'll worry them. I'm worried for them and--"
"Why, you must be the Fallow I've been hearing all about!" Jasper floated to the doorway and sank slowly, reaching out a hand to greet her. She stepped back in surprise at the hand and looked up, shock flooding her eyes. She began to shiver uncontrollably, her hand illuminated with a faint green glow. Dawn put her hands reassuringly on Fallow's shoulders, confused, and Jasper stepped back with his palms facing up.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa there--I'm not going to hurt you. Chill a lil', okay? I'm friends with Dawn." He smiled warmly. Fallow looked back at her sister and Dawn nodded reassuringly.
"Y-you... you're the evil bastard that's been attacking us!" She hissed, sinking back into her sister. Jasper sighed and rubbed his temples.
"Listen, Fallow, it's not like that--I promise. Here, sit down. You don't know everything about the people you're with. I hate to do this, but let me tell you more about Mavis." He sat on the back of the couch and gestured for her to follow him. She bit her lip and reluctantly sat.
he got up and tossed everything aside except the whip and chuckled, grinning evilly as the shine in his eyes vanished, only leaving that of a psychopaths unsettling gaze.
''it's sounds like Dawn's back Belle... how about you go say hello to our new guest while i talk with this one...'' he muttered, tilting his head at they're captive in thought.
Maxwell perked up when Umbra mentioned Fallow's sister and started to desperately tug at the chains to try and free himself, but that earned a strike from the whip on his left side and let out a muffled yell of pain.
"Y-you... you're Belle, right? The girl that like Draco?" She asked softly, her eyes wide and glossy. The corner of her mouth was pointed down and her lips were pressed together tightly when she wasn't speaking.
God, Jasper... what did you tell this girl?... Belle thought, smiling warmly and nodding. She stuck her hand out to Fallow and the young Fantasy timidly shook it. Her hands were eerily cold.
"Fallow. Dawn's mentioned you quite a lot--I wish I were as close to my siblings as you two are."

Marshall crept into the house from the back door, feeling a bit uneasy about not locking it. "Hey, Vi," he mumbled softly, sitting next to her on the couch and crossing his legs. "Has anyone else come back yet?"
''Draco arrived an hour before you and has locked himself up in his and Alex's room..... your the second one to return, and it's gotten so late so fast i fear for Fallow and Maxwell both.... i'm worried something terrible has happened to them...!'' she muttered, tears swelling up as she started sobbing on her last sentence and covered her face.
~~~~~~~~~
after some time Umbra hummed joyously with the shine back in his eyes as he walked back to the cabin, having locked the barn up tight before he left, and walked up the steps before walking in and closing the door behind him.
''so who's the new roommate? i'm just dying to kn-'' he started to ask but cut his last sentence off as he froze, staring at Fallow with wide eyes as his right eye returned to a blue/purple color, making it look like he had heterochromia as fear entered his gaze.
he would've been scrambling backwards and sitting on the floor if it weren't for the fact that Umbra was still in control of they're body.
''w-what are you doing here? where's that wolf that was hanging around you...?'' came Justin's voice as he asked his questions.
"Shh, Viola, it'll be okay... We know Fallow is safe--she's with her sister. I'm sure Maxwell will turn out to be alright, he's capable of taking care of himself. Everything will be alright, yeah?" He cooed softly.
--------
"W-wolf?... wait, are you...?" Fallow's posture snapped up and faint recognition fitted her face. Her eyes, bloodshot from lack of sleep, were wide and glossy with water again. Her hand began to shake again.
F--king hell, Justin, Belle hissed mentally, leaping up from the couch and laughing it off.
"Cedar is a griffin, dummy. You really need some sleep. This is Fallow--Fallow, this is Justin. Or Umbra. We'll explain later." She calmly laced her fingers with his and yanked him away from the living room and towards their bedroom, wanting to get the frazzled Justin as far away from Fallow as possible.
"Hold on just a moment before you two get acquainted, I need to talk to Justin~" She said in a singsong voice before closing the door behind them and glowering at Justin.
"Get yourself together, mate, I don't think she'll appreciate knowing her lil' boyfriend is chained up in our barn," Belle snapped in a soft voice, her teeth gritted together. She blinked sharply and stepped back from him. "Hold on, does she know you?"
"Fal, don't freak out," Dawn said calmly, putting a hand on her sister's head and scuffling her scarlet hair affectionately. "Justin--Umbra--has had a bit of a rough past. I know he's made mistakes before, Jasper's told me, but he's different now and deserves a second chance."
~~~~~~~~~
after Belle managed to drag him to the safety of the bedroom he pulled himself away from her and stared at her, both eyes now the blue/purple color and filled with utter horror.
''the day you and Jasper picked me up, she was there when i had Alex captured and returned to her...! her and that damned wolf with the red eyes! i even have the scars on my freaking leg to prove it...... why the hell is she here?!'' Justin questioned, his voice and body trembling.
he glanced at the door and listened form a moment, then looked back at Belle with a little guilt.
''when Umbra had control he did a f---in' number on the poor kid... i literally had to force him to stop so he didn't kill'em, he'll survive but boy is he gonna be pretty later, his sides especially...... i honestly should've stopped Umbra sooner...'' he whispered, crossing his arms and rubbed the side of his neck.
"I'm sure whatever manipulation Jasper's forced into her brain will keep her feeling safe among... well, just us. It's a tight situation, I know, but as long as we keep her away from the barn--and for that matter, Dawn too--it'll be fine. She loves her sister and she's very mentally broken. Just... play along, alright? That's all I need."
She pressed her back against the door and took a long sigh. "The situation with Maxwell is temporary, anyway."
''i know you don't care for Maxwell's well being at the moment... considering he's also your ex crush's little brother..... but he doesn't deserve being tortured... he's just an innocent kid for god's sake, he was just unfortunate to run into the jerk known as Jasper....'' he muttered, soon looking back at Belle.
soon he flinched and covered his face with one hand, eyes closed and jaw clenched for a moment before he sighed and relaxed again, letting his hair down while running a hand through his hair, then looked at belle with pink/yellow eyes, showing that Umbra had forced his way into taking control rather that just taking over for Justin.
''keep an eye on him Belle, Justin's grown soft..... i don't want him setting my new toy free.... i'll make sure the girls don't suspect a thing until we're ready to set the little twerp free'' Umbra said, a hint of spitefulness lacing his voice at the thought of Justin setting Maxwell free.
"I honestly think you two should just stay as far away from her as possible. I'm going to call it a night and I'd recommend you do the same," she said in a more neutral tone--nothing demanding as to not start an argument that she was too tired to fight. Belle climbed up to the top bunk before Justin could kick her out of the room, which he had an annoying tendency to do.
''it wouldn't hurt to at least introduce myself, and besides.... she needs to remember who it was that tortured her little boyfriend~'' he hummed, an eerie grin creeping onto his face.
he soon put up a normal looking smile and left the bedroom, soon walking back into the living room.
Fallow bent her head but listened to Jasper's explanation, a bit on the edge but mostly reassured. Dawn trusts him, she thought to herself, her attention snapping to the door when she heard it open. Her fingers held her throw pillow ever so slightly tighter, aching for Fawn's presence, but she inhaled deeply to calm herself.
"Hello, Umbra," Jasper said calmly, smiling softly at him before Fallow could say anything. "I don't believe you two specifically have met?"
he stopped right in front of her and gave Fallow a crooked grin, giving a low bow with his one arm crossed over his abdomen.
''anyway, it's quite the honor to meet Dawn's little sister! the name's Umbra Ray~'' he said with a hum, holding his other hand out to her palm up waiting to shake her hand.
his smile faltered a little and he flinched, closing his eyes as he straightened and put a hand over his face.
''dammit Umbra..... now i have a splitting headache....'' growled Justin's voice, obviously annoyed with his other self, and looked at the others with blue/purple eyes.
his gaze rested on Fallow for a minute but sighed and looked off to the side.
''a bit of advice Fallow, please don't p--- Umbra off..... he.... can be rather cruel...'' Justin warned softly, rather worried for her safety.
''pfft... it... should've been a little obvious when Alex blocked that shadow lightning bolt i fired'' he said.
he looked down and rubbed his temple, sighing a little loudly.
''and... i'm sorry for how i've acted the last time we crossed paths Fallow, back then Umbra was locked away at the time so we were basically one being, so any aggressive and nasty nature i showed was more his fault than mine...'' he muttered, being genuine with his apology.
Fallow, who was quite confused by now on who she should trust, timidly nodded and said through clenched teeth, "It's alright." She seemed to be unable to pull her attention away from Justin's eyes--she had recognized them as an indicator for the person. Umbra seemed... kinda nice, she thought, which somehow made him even more intimidating to her.
''listen here griffon boy, you try having basically two souls in one body'' he said, then looked back at Fallow and any signs of threat from earlier had vanished.
he leaned back and crossed his legs, resting one hand on his face.
''anyway... it's just a simple friendly warning.... don't try to get close to and befriend Umbra, he.... he's a sadistic and cruel guy, and just know that whatever he does when he is in control it is basically of his own free will, i cannot be blamed for what he does now that he's able to take control of our body... i don't want to see you get hurt cause of him'' Justin said.
