Stonehaven, New York

[walks_two_paths]

It was always a nice time when the extended supernatural family got together for holidays at Stonehaven. There was more than enough food and drink. Presents were piled beneath the tree, there was laughter and bonding with new members of the family. There was the meeting of people all around.

Oh... and the sound of raised voices coming from the library.

Paige, Elena and Eve were in the hallway, and kept glancing at the door to the library as the voices got louder and louder. Johnny was pacing the hall, trying to figure out how to get in there and help his girl out...

...not that she sounded like she needed his help, if the shouting was any indication.





It had all began so well. Savannah and Johnny had arrived safely at Stonehaven and she had introduced Johnny to Jeremy, Clayton and Elena, and to Lucas. They had enjoyed dinner and had been sitting and talking. Of course, if Savannah was aware of the way Clayton was glaring at the way she she stayed close to Johnny or how he kept holding his hand or he had his arm around her, she pretended not to notice.

Of course, like Savannah, Clayton had no concept of tact.

"You had better not be having sex with her."

Savannah had damn near choked on her soda. Eve had been ready to say something, but the whiteness of Savannah's lips and the darkening of her eyes told her not to get involved. "Clayton, that's not only none of your business but it's not a very public type of conversation."

"You're underage and therefore answerable to the family."

Savannah sputtered. "I am answerable to Paige and Lucas and my mother!"

"Who is now a teenager, herself."

Eve frowned. Oh this wasn't going to be going well.

Savannah looked at him. "Clayton, this is not the time and you do not want to start a fight you will lose."

Clayton got to his feet. "Library, now."

Savannah stiffened and then lifted her chin, fire in her eyes.

Paige groaned and ran her hand over her face when she saw that look. That look meant it was going to be angry witchling who confronted the mannerless werewolf.

Savannah leaned down and kissed Johnny before stomping off down the hall, Clayton following her.

Now, Elena kept laughing softly, shaking her head as she listened to the argument. Paige looked aggrieved and Eve... well Eve looked damn proud. Johnny couldn't stand listening to Savannah be upset and reached for the door. A hand reached out and grabbed his arm.

"You really don't want to try that," a voice drawled. "You'll only end up making a new doorway to Jeremy's library."

Johnny turned to see a guy not much older than him. "What would you know about it?"

"Adam Vasic. I'm Paige's best friend, confidant of Savannah and known to be a pain in the ass." He let go of Johnny's arm and looked at the women. "What's going on in there?"

"Clayton and Savannah." Paige said.

Adam winced. "Oh hell. What's got Savvy so upset?"

"Savvy?" Johnny asked, pretty sure he wasn't going to be fond of the answer.

"It's Adam's nickname for Savannah," Paige supplied. "He's called her that since he's known her."

"Yep. I'm the only one she loves enough not to put through a wall for calling her that." Adam said, looking cocky.

"You're the only one that could take the damage she would dole out to anybody else for using that name." Paige shot back.

"I repeat, what has Savvy sounding like she's spitting nails?"

Elena laughed. "Clayton hates Johnny, here."

Adam looked back at Johnny, his eyes narrowing slightly. "So you're the boyfriend," he said quietly. He had heard all about Savannah's boyfriend from Paige and her opinion had colored his. "The one who had better be a completely hands off kind of roommate."

Unfortunately, Johnny didn't take well to someone trying to intimidate him. It hadn't worked from the Halliwells and he would be damned if it was going to work from this guy. "What happens between me and Savannah is our business and no one else's."

"It's damn well my business, Johnny Storm," Adam said in a low voice. "I've looked out for Savannah since we rescued her and I won't allow her to be hurt or taken advantage of." To emphasize his point, Adam lit up one of his hands. "You don't want to play with fire."

In response, Johnny squared his shoulders and lit up both of his hands. "I don't know, Adam, I'm pretty good at handling fire... and Savannah loves it that way."

Adam's hand twitched and that would be when both of them were hit with a spell, knocking them in opposite directions. Eve was standing there, her hands in front of her.

"Knock it off, both of you." She didn't look pleased.

Jeremy ran his hand over his face. "Clayton certainly seems to have taken a serious disliking to Johnny."

"Because he is so much like him," Elena offered with a grin.

"And he's a lot like Adam, too," Paige said with a nod.

"Handsome, funny and brave?"

"A pain in my ass."

"Hey!"

Jeremy shook his head and looked back at Jeremy. "There will still be separate rooms while you are here. "

Johnny would have commented, but the raised voices were coming from the library again.

"You do not get to make that decision for me!"

"The hell I don't! You have been part of this family since we rescued you from that laboratory when you were twelve and therefore my responsibility!" Clayton roared.

"You arrogant bastard! I am not a little girl and you are not my dad! I can take care of myself!"

"You're a child!"

"I'm sixteen! Not twelve!"

"Still too young to have a boyfriend!"

"And you waited to get involved with anyone until you were eightteen?!"

"You are not me!"

"Thank god for that!"

"You will stop seeing him!"

"You will be in high heels and pink sequins before I do any such thing!"



It was going to be a long night.
