"He's not fine." Silver said, still staring at Gabriel. "Don't ever let him have alcohol again."

Ben creases his brow. “Silver, calm down. You don’t get any again either. You both are freaks.”
Gabriel slowly strolls past the fridge, making a sharp turn to stand just out of their sight and in the other side of the fridge.

Silver took a deep breath, letting it out in a metered sigh. "I don't want any more. This was a bad idea." Her eyes never left Gabriel, locked on the side of the fridge he had stepped behind.

He sighs, approaching her, “I’m not kidding, Silver. Go. To. Bed.”

She blinked and finally turned to look at him. "He's dangerous, Ben." she said, but slipped off the counter as she spoke. Her gaze flicked back toward the fridge. "He's really dangerous right now, Ben."

Ben rests his hand firmly on her shoulder, giving it one squeeze. “Fine. You can stay in here if you calm down. I don’t want you trying to use your powers right now. He’s fine.”

Silver looked up at him, frowning in confusion. "I am calm, Ben. What's wrong?"

He stares sternly. “Good. Stay calm and leave him alone.”
Gabriel stands on the other side of the fridge, hissing his breaths, and staring wide eyed out into the living room.

She nods. "He can't leave anyway." She sat down on a barstool and propped her head in her hands, gaze drifting back to stare at Gabriel.

Ben pulls a barstool around to sit beside her, squinting towards the fridge. “What is he doing?” He whispers.

"He's breathing really heavy." she responsed, voice distant. "He's like… hyper aware. And tuned in. Like he'll snap if anything happens."

Ben goes to respond, but turns at the sound of soft footsteps coming from the stairs. Kissa walks down quietly, some of her hair pulled back, wearing a light blue nightgown that almost reaches her ankles. Ben puts a finger to his lips and she furrows her brow, silently walking to them.

Silver jerked up, head snapping to watch Kissa approach. After a moment she relaxed, but only minisculely, and turned her focus back to Gabe. "Don't let her touch him." she whispered to Ben.

Kissa stands beside them, looking between them and the fridge. “What?” She whispers. “Gabe? Why is he so….” She squints. “Why does he feel so sensitive. And crazy.”
Ben bites his lip. “I don’t know.” He quietly states, shaking his head a bit.

"Ben gave us wine." Silver said in that same distant, monotone voice.

Kissa turns, glaring. “What? Wine?? Can I have-“
“-no nonono. Augh. Don’t tell Violet. I’m sure he’s fine.”
She sighs and turns again to look at the fridge. “He is fine. You think drunk Gabe would hurt someone? No.” She scoffs and silently and slowly heads towards the fridge.

"He's not drunk." Silver said. "He's… he's like hyper powered right now."

She rolls her eyes, passing the fridge, “he’s fi- OW! Aaanh.” She jumps back and Ben jumps up, quickly going to her, ready to beat Gabriel, though both of them are not on his side of the fridge anymore.
Her eyes well up with tears as she examines her arm. “He bit me!”

"Neither of us should ever drink wine again." Silver said, seemingly unmoved by the fact that Gabriel just bit his sister. "I told you he was dangerous."

Kissa, completely ignoring Silver, starts to quietly cry while pearly tears fall down her cheeks slowly and she rubs the bite mark. Just a little blood had been drawn.
She turns, pressing herself into Ben and shaking a little while each quiet sob. He puts his arms around her, petting her hair. “Shh, shh. He didn’t mean too.”

Silver blinked, almost shocked as Kissa's pain broke into her consciousness. She closed her eyes and gasped for breath for a minute. "I'm sorry." she said, struggling to keep her voice from breaking.

Ben gently kisses her hair. “It’s okay.”
Cage leans over the railing of the balcony. “Is everything okay?” He asks Silver quietly. “Aren’t we supposed to be in bed?”

"SSSHHSSSHHHHH." Silver hissed, frantically waving her arm at him. "Go away unless you want to be bitten too!" she whispered loudly.

“What!?” He whispers, his eyes widening. “Did Kiss bite???”
Ben takes a step back, tucking Kissa’s silky hair behind her ears. “Let’s wash it, hmm? It’ll be okay.”
She nods, sniffling and rubbing her eyes. He takes her hand and they leave the kitchen to the hallways towards the bathroom.
(Leaving the kitchen sink alone xD because Silver and Gabriel are in the kitchen)

"No, Gabriel bit!" Silver hissed, waving at him to leave again. "He's feral right now cuz he stole my wine."
