~ The Christmas Party ~

Pocahontas made a little face, "It was good for me." She said as she smiled, "It was nice to see some friends, and it was nice to see you again." She said, even though she hated to admit it. Pocahontas was glad she could talk to him like this, "Plus..I have a feeling this holiday is for getting together and spread cheer..right?" She asked.

He smiled. He'd known it. She really was happy to see him. No matter how much she tried to deny it she couldn't escape the truth. She really did want him.
He hugged her from behind, whispering softly in her ear:
"I missed you too.."

Pocahontas hugged him back, before blushing very lightly. She looked down and smiled, before looking up at the sky. Her eyes brightened when she saw snow flakes start to fall, "Hey..look." She whispered as she walked forward a little.

He couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed when she walked out of his arms, but decided to try again as a snowflake fell on her cheek and he kissed it away.
"Yeah, would you look at that?" he laughed.

Dimitri bumped into a woman with dark hair, who in the back recognised from somewhere, but where he had no idea. He definately could not put a name to the face.
'Ooops' he said, laughing a little forced. 'Well.. Merry Christmas!' he loudly added. 'Uh... whats your name?'

Pocahontas felt him kiss her cheek, which made her so confused on why he was acting like he was. She smiled, before adjusting her Santa hat. She looked at him as she smiled, before looking up at the sky once again.

She was surprised by a man who suddenly bumbed into her. She turned arround. She laughed at how the man was acting. The smell of alcohol was there. She reconized him from somewhere..But what was his name again..''Hah Merry Christmas. My name is Jasmine, Have we met before?''

John lied down on the snow, feeling the cold snowflakes on his face as he closed his eyes. It was refreshing.

'Hey Jasmine' he said, smiling for absolutely no reason.
'Uh.. I think so..' He paused for a moment confused. 'I have no idea where. I'll assume somewhere where someone died... you know the usual.' He laughed, even though it wasn't funny. 'I'm Dimitri' he said.

Pocahontas kept standing, watching the snow flakes fall from the sky. She closed her eyes, remembering her village when it was snowy. A smile appeared on her face.

He opened his eyes, seeing Pocahontas standing there eyes closed and unprepared. He couldn't help the temptation to launch a snowball her way, hitting the back of her head.
As it hit and she turned around the look on her face made John laugh hysterically.

She grinned. 'I'm Dimitri' Ofcourse now she remembered. ''Oh yeah We've met before!'' She nodded. ''Nice too see you again.'' She smiled.

Pocahontas jumped, feeling a snow ball hit her in the back of her head. She slowly turned around, glaring at him as she tried to keep herself from laughing. She bent down, making a snow ball before she threw it at him, hitting his chest. Pocahontas laughed as she ran behind the Christmas tree.

'So.. uh.. how have you been?' he said, speaking whilst focusing his attention on trying to stand straight. He was balancing himself on one leg, but every so ofen he shifted it to the other as he felt himself swaying. But stopping that feeling was difficult. He grimaced knowing he was probably getting worse than he thought he would be.

"Ey! Havn't anyone told you not to hit a man when he's down?!" he laughed and got up quickly to launch another snowball, though it hit the tree she was hiding behind. He ran after her, trying to get a clearer view as he scooped up another snowball.

"Nope! Remember, it's always best to get the target on the ground. Especially when they don't expect anything." She laughed, before she saw him chase after her, laughing as she tried to hide behind the tree once again.

He quickly ran after her behind the tree, throwing the snowball, but missing by an inch.
Instead he jumped, catching her in his arms, holding her tight.
"You play dirty huh?" he said and smiled slyly before laughing loudly.

Pocahontas laughed, looking at him, "Yeah, especially when it's a tie." She said, laughing with him.

She laughed watching Dimitri hop from leg to leg. ''I'm fine. How about you?'' She laughed.

He turned her arround in his arms, so she was facing him.
"No surprise there, you always were my bad girl," he said and smiled charmingly, still holding her tightly.

Pocahontas laughed softly, looking at him. Before she was able to get out of his hold, moving behind him fast. She got another snow ball, throwing it at him right as he turned around. She had hit him in the chest. Pocahontas darted right after that.

He smiled, though disappointed and scooped up another snowball.
He hadn't seen where she had ran off to, so he was carefully looking around in case she jumped out of nowhere.
"When are you going to surrender to me?" he yelled after her, knowing she knew he wasn't talking about the snowball fight.

Lilo woke up. She must have been very tired, that she fell so easily asleep on a party like this. But her dream was... Nice actually. Something she already dreamed before she was brought in this place. A blurry face of a brown haired woman caressing her hair. It felt so familiar. Lilo shrugged. "Merry Christmas fairy of light."

She stood up and looked at her presents. One of them was unwrapped. Lilo remembered that John said it was his present for her. The little girl opened it and smiled. She finally had something she could do while she was in a room. Lilo took off her presents and carried them to the place where she awoke the first time. She couldn't carry them around the whole party. The girl hugged the bears closely and then walked through the snow.

On a free place she stopped and looked around. There were quite some familiar faces she had seen on the party. But... She doesn't want to talk now. Lilo stared at the pure snow. She took a little branch and wrote one name in the snow.

Tzekel-khan.

For quite a few seconds she stared at it and then wiped it out angrily. This man just made her fell like, ugh. She sighed and took the branch again. Writing now:

Tzekel-khan the man who has the keys to my black heart.

She grinned. A dark secret written in pure and innocent white snow. "Merry Christmas father. Merry Christmas Tzip."

Lilo walked further. Suddenly she could rescue herself from sliding and falling. She blinked and looked down. Ice. A little pond in the garden? Nice. Too bad they haven't got any shoes for ice dancing. Again she stared at the ice.

How long would it take to break?

Pocahontas was hiding behind a tree.

"When are you going to surrender to me?"

Her eyes widened, knowing what he meant. Why did he suddenly ask her that? She decided to stay behind the tree, "What do you mean?" She asked, knowing what he meant, but, was shocked he said something like that.

"You know what I mean," he yelled back sighing, while throwing a snowball in the direction of her voice. It only hit a tree though, but he hadn't exactly been focusing on hitting her.

Pocahontas got out from hiding a little, looking at him in confusion. Her face showed she was confused.

'Uh good' he said, finding a way to comfortably stand vaguely stable. He had hoped he wouldn't obviously appear drunk from this early on but from her expression it was obvious he was.
He suddenly felt awful.. he was drunk here of all places.. and Jasmine was just staring at him. 'I'm going to go for a second..' he said, leaving quickly. Everyone was probably staring at him he thought. He shouldn't be drunk... that wouldn't be what Jane would have wanted him to do. It wasn't fair for him to be so irresponsible at a time like this.
He stumbled away from the party, no idea where he was going, just focusing on walking... stepping forward.. and then he saw Lilo.
'Lilo?' he said, louder than he had thought. His voice was kind of slurred though, although he didn't think it was that noticeable. 'Hey!' he said, in a high pitched tone that in his head he thought would cover up his drunkness to the little girl. Instead it came out as patronising and even more drunk. 'What are you doing out here?' he said concerned.

"Stop acting like that, you know I want you," he said a bit lower now that he knew she wasn't too far away.
"What would it take for me to get you?" he asked and walked a few steps in her direction.

Her eyes widened, looking at him..

He wanted her?

"W-What brought this up, John?" She asked, confused as all hell.

Lilo turned around as she heard her name shouted by... her big brother! "HEY!", she shouted back waving. He didn't look good at all. "I'm just waiting for..." For what? For the ice to break and drown? She shook her head and slided carefully back to the edge of the pond, walking to Dimitri.

"Are you okay? You look horrible."

He smirked.
"You've been rejecting me all day," he said, while he kept moving towards her.
He only stopped when he was close enough to touch her.
"You know you want me just as much... give yourself over, just for tonight.." he said and brushed her cheek.

Pocahontas looked away, "I-I can't John..I'm..I can't do that to Kenai..He loves me..and..and I love him." She said, looking back up at him.

"You'll get bored," he stated confident what he said was true.
"He's a boy. He's sweet, caring, loving... but you need adventure Poca, I know you."
He let his hand fall from her cheek and land on her waist to pull her in close.
"And he would never know.. no harm done.." he whispered to her.

'Meh I've seen worse days' he said. 'But how are you? Why are you all the way out here?' He gestured something to show that, but essentially it looked like he was waving his arms around.
He groaned. 'I really don't feel so good' he said, sitting down.

Pocahontas looked at him, feeling herself freeze when he pulled her close to him. She looked away, "I..I'm not like that, John..I don't like cheating..I-I can't do that. A-And why are you telling me this now?" She asked, looking at him now, wondering what brought all of this up..

He didn't like admitting seeing her with someone else had provoked him, so he wouldn't say it.
"He'll stay happy and oblivious.. and you'll stay happy and entertained," he said softly and winked.
"He'll give you love, but he can't satisfy your needs can he...? But I'll give you everything you need."
He leaned in close as to kiss her, but didn't dare to go all the way in case she would reject him again.

Lilo touched his face. "You always look that bad when you think about Jane. Well, you looked like that as we talked about her death.", she sat down as well and just put his head in her lap. "You drunk something, right? That's really not good for you."

Lilo thought for a moment. "I wanted to think. About my life before.", she laughed sadly. "It's not good for you to be drunk and for me to be alone. But that's what we long for. We are really a nice couple.", she caressed his cheek softly.

Pocahontas looked at him, "John..I can't..I won't do that to him.." She said, blushing when she saw him leaning close to her. Her body froze. Her eyes stared into his, "I..can't.."

"I won't give up until you do," he stated calmly.
"I want you Pocahontas," he whispered in her ear, and kissed her cheek.
He kissed her cheek again, before slowly moving his head to kiss her lips softly.
He only kissed her for a split second before pulling away, seeking a reaction in her eyes other than coldness.

Pocahontas's eyes widened, feeling her body tense up a little. Her eyes looked at him, showing surprise and confusion..and a little bit of wanting, and sadness, "I...can't..." She said..

Even though she wanted it...She couldn't do that..

He looked at her curiously. 'Lilo what would I do without you?' he said, staring at her.
'It wouldn't be fun if we did whats good for us..' he slurred.
'Yeah.. I don't know. I've just screwed up' he said, getting emotional. He didn't know why he was telling her this.. she was a little girl. She didn't need to be loaded with his own problems when he was fully aware she had her own. 'What were you thinking about?'

"You can," he whispered seductively. And she could, so easily.
"Let me make this a christmas you'll never forget..."

Pocahontas looked away, fighting herself, "I-I can't do that..John..I can't.." She felt her body tremble only a little..

"If not today, then another time. I will ask again. And again. Until you surrender," he said determined, his eyes showing the flame he felt inside.
"You will be mine Pocahontas, just like you're supposed to."
He let his hands feel her figure as they roamed up and down her body.
"I'm not asking you to leave him.. or tell him.. I'm only asking you for this one thing.."

Lilo smiled and poked his nose softly. "You would get lost in this world and kill yourself before someone like me could rescue you. And I will always rescue you."

She sighed. "I thought about my father. Tzekel-khan.", Lilo knew she never mentioned his name before. "I kinda... miss him. On the other hand I would love to be free on the other hand I want to be his marionette forever. Weird, right?"

She stared at some point somewhere in the garden and hold her big bro as close as she could in this position.

Pocahontas looked at in his eyes. Her eyes softening, "W-Why?" She finally asked, "Why?"

"Because I want you!" he said a little louder than he had meant, but not loud enough for anyone else to hear.
"Let me make you mine... just for tonight," he said as he pulled her closer, to feel her whole body against his.

He smiled sitting up. 'But what about when you need rescuing?' he said. 'You and I are very similar... we do everything we can to save other people just so we can avoid facing saving ourselves..' He paused before adding 'because we are idiots!' and smiling faintly.
'Its just so difficult, you know?' he said, not really making much sense. 'You hate yourself because you do bad things, but you keep doing those bad things to keep hating yourself. I don't want people to actually like me.... everyone just gets hurt. I killed someone you know?' he said to Lilo. He couldn't remember if he had mentioned this, but he did so again anyways. 'Right near here, in the garden... So I'm catching up with you now' he smiled.

Pocahontas jumped, hearing him yell at her. Her cheeks blushed when he pulled her closer. She looked away, "Why do you want me? And why do you want me now? What brought all of this up.." She looked at him, "Please tell me John.."

"I could always have you before... always... I don't like it when you reject me," he said in the tone of a heartbroken puppy.
"Won't you give me what I want for christmas..?" he tried one more time. If she refused him now, he would give up for today and walk away.
