"Not a single, solitary word? A peep? Anything? A request for food, water?"

"What about the word NO don't you understand Mars?" Lilith answered heatedly.

"Are you sure they're all right?" Mars persisted worriedly, but that didn't stop him from secretly enjoying getting Lilith's goat.

"Considering that Atropos didn't have to cut either of their Life-Threads... I'm gonna go with YES!!!" The sarcasm dripped from every one of Lilith's words.

"Well, why can't Clotho check the Tapestry? You know just to make sure they're okay and see if they're still planning on coming tonight. After all, it's been three days since anyone has seen or heard from either of them." Mars demanded as he started pacing.

"I doubt after all that's happened, all the fallout from Buffy's plans that she, that they wouldn't show tonight. As for using the Tapestry to check on them, has it not occurred to you how much of an invasion of their privacy that would be, Mars?" Clotho said as she came through the backdoor to Mars' house and hearing the tail end of his conversation with Lilith. "...'sides we can't." Clotho mumbled as she walked further into the room, allowing the rest of the Immortals to make their way in.

"Oh please... don't even try that, You can't interfere or break the rules, bullshit. Yoe goe gone way past the point of that hypocrisy." Mars huffed; he wasn't worried the Slayers were hurt or anything along those lines. He just wanted to make sure that they, them together, as a couple were all right. Especially after what had been happening between them the past few weeks and the way they had left his training barn three days ago.

"That Mother-Hen look is really working for you, oh Fusspot Incarnate of War..." Luc snickered as he walked in behind Clotho. He managed to avoid the playful punch Mars threw at him, but not the swat to the back of his head his spouse gave him as she came into the house behind him. "Owww!"

"Serves you right, oh Wimpy Incarnate of Evil..." Mars smirked, bowing his head at Atropos who also had a smirk gracing her face. "Now..." he snarled, "...can one of you please go check the Tapestry?!!!?"

"No, we can't," began Atropos only to be cut off by Mars.

"WHY THE HELL NOT?!!?"

"If you would stop interrupting we could tell you! So BE QUIET AND LISTEN!!!" Lachesis shouted back, then smiled at the surprised expression on all the Immortals' faces. She very rarely lost her temper or raised her voice. Most of them could still count on two hands the times that she had over the eons.

She waited for everyone to settle down and find seats before she began. "It seems that while we can still see the Slayers' Life Threads within the Tapestry, we can no longer actually read them. Nor can we actually see outside influences or other Threads that touch upon them until after the event has occurred. I still weave their threads but have no memory of what it is that I have woven when the interaction is between just the two of them, actually none of us can. Their privacy is shrouded completely. We think this happened gradually over time and the last clear memory I have of weaving their threads is the day before de Rais attacked them. We all know of the bond that the Slayers share, their Soul-Thread, Lilith and Clotho, Luc and Atropos, Willow and Tara, as well as me and Spi..I oh yo..."

"You owe me five gold pieces." Mars held out his hand to Luc for payment, cutting off Lachesis stuttering.

"Nope doesn't count, we didn't catch them and that was the deal." Luc told him with a triumph smile.

"Does too!"

"Does not!"

"TOO! TOO! TOO!"

"OWWW!!!!" Both men yelled when Atropos swatted them both hard on the back of the head.

"Actually, you each owe me five gold pieces. As I recall I bet you both that Ma," Zane smirked at his use of Faith's nickname for Lachesis, "...would slip before either of you caught her and Spike together." He finished with a smug look.

Mars and Luc looked at each other and shrugged their lderlders, while Lachesis sat fuming at all three of them.

"He's right Candy-man."

"Yes, I believe he is Scamp."

"I... I... I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU MADE A BET ABOUT MY LOVE LIFE!!!!" Lachesis screeched like a fishwife.

"Well, can you blame us? We've been waiting years for you to actually get one, MA!" Luc told Lachesis calmly, which earned him another swat on the back of the head from his wife.

"Hit him again, only this time harder!" Lachesis told her sister with narrowed, fire-spitting eyes.

Atropos arched an eyebrow and did as her sister asked then swatted Mars on principle alone. "Now be good both of you and let Lachesis finish. And no one is getting any gold pieces either." She directed her last remark at Zane.

"As I was saying, the Slayers share a Soul-Thread. Those of you that have found your soul-mate's know what that means, even those of you that haven't understand the basic principle of it. But there are other t of of bonds, like the bond I share with my sisters. It isn't to the extent that soul-mates share, but I can sense them, their moods, when they are in danger etc. It is a family bond, sort of like what mortal twins describe they share. Ask yourselves this, that night when de Rais attacked the Slayers, how did we know to go help them? In fact, it was you Mars, who faded there in tto sto save Faith's life. How did you know?"

"I felt it, felt a foreboding chill. I just knew that Faith, that they both were in trouble and I didn't question it." Mars answered softly.

"And Mars wasn't the only one, we all felt it, he just felt it sooner. His connection was deeper at that point then any of ours, because in his heart, in his soul, Faith is his daughter. The Slayers and their family have over time, become our family and in turn, have turned us, all the Immortals into a true family. Something if we're honest with ourselves, we never truly were. Not even my ers ers and I. Now we're all connected through this bond, a thread that links us to each other as family. We believe that bond was solidified became fully alive, if you will, the night Rais attacked. And since that night not only can we no longer see the Life-Threads of the Slayers, or remember what has been added or woven into their paths, we also can't see our own or any of the rest of our rather large family's Life-Threads. As far as we can tell it in no way hinders any of us from performing our duties. Our destinies, our fates, if you will pardon the pun, are forever linked with that of our family. In our effort to offer support, to help the Slayers we have become what the Creator has always wanted us to be, a true family. This connection, this bond we have with our family members runs more deeply than is technically normal
