Zsadist sighed. He wasn't the least but surprised by the woman's reaction. It cut him.that she thought so little of him after he had saved her. "I brought you here because a lesser has your address. You can't go home safely. It isn't safe for you to go home. You would have put your friend in danger. Your safer here. I'm sorry. You're going to have to stay until your wallet can be recovered."

He gave her a sad smile. "There is plenty of space here. You won't have any trouble avoid in me. You'll be safe here. I would give you my word as a man of worth but..."he shrugged. It was quite a speech for him. But there was no one else to explain to her. Plus she was here because he had brought here. True it had been necessary but she was still his responsibility. At least for now. "The Doggen can show you a room."

@Belle

Juni smiles with a slight laugh."No its fine." She said after he stuttered a reply to her announcement. Juni was never one for pity and "Sorry's". She was never rude about it but she tries and lean the conversation away from the whole thing. Juni was more than relieved that she didn't have to explain that because he moved on to another topic.

Feeling a giant hand on her shoulder she looks at him listening to him silently before looking away thinking. It made her feel worse though that she has to stay at a complete strangers house but its either stay with him or be homeless. With a sigh she says."My name is Juniper or Juni."

She heard huffing and whining and looks at the door remembering one other living that she had left thanks to her father."Can I bring my horse? He's a gift my father gave me and I don't want to leave him here." She asks the man."And it won't take long I already have at least 2,000 plus dollars. My father had it put in somewhere else safe." Juniper says before chuckling." If it isn't a bother to who ever stays with you. Of course."

Guilt stung her like a wasp, so much so that she flinched. "I'm..." she said and paused. He didn't seem the type to take apologies well. Her friends had told her before that she always apologized too much, mostly for things that were not her fault.
Her hands were still shaking and she felt cold. The adrenline was wearing off, leaving her with the nasty after effects. She just wanted somewhere she could be alone, to break down and cry.
Her arms hugged herself, trying to keep it back until she could be alone.

The door opened to find a younger man, around 30 or so, standing on the landing in the traditional uniform of a butler. "Master Zsadist. You are the first to return. I have your preferred meal prepared," he stated before his attention went to the female vampire. "We do not normally have guests. If you will follow me Mistress I shall take you to a room."

As she moved to follow the Doggen, she paused as she passed the Brother. "My name is Marisol," she said quietly before continuing inside.
"I am the head Doggen of the household Mistress. My name is Noah. What may I do for you?" the Doggen asked, leading her to a room up the stairs and looking at her expectantly.
"Oh no, really there is noth-" she stared but stopped once she noticed the Doggen's downcast face. Doggen were happiest serving their masters or guests. It was a sense of fullfilment that they savored in their lives. "If you could bring me some clothing? And some tea?"
Noah's face immediately lit up in happiness. "Right away Mistress. What kind of tea? Would you care for honey or lemon? Milk? Sugar?"
Marisol shook her head. "If you have Hibiscus tea, I enjoy that."
"Right away Mistress," he said before hurrying off with almost a skip in his step.

Mari opened the door to the guest room and faintly noted how nicely it was decorated. A queen sized bed with sheets she figured were the finest cotten. She liked cotten over silk. Silk felt too cold to the touch.
The walls were a calming light blue. There was a bathroom adjacent with a large shower and tub. Mari stood in front of the door, gazing about like a child having lost it's mother. Now that she was alone her shaking became more pronounced. Her body was preparing to break down, release the pent up energy left over from the near death experience it had endured. She made it to the rug beside the bed before going to her knees. Curling into a ball, pulling her knees up to her chin, she sat beside the bed and let herself go. Tears flowed freely and she muffled her sobs as best as she could.

It wasn't long before there was a soft knock at the door. "Mistress?" Noah's voice questioned. "May I enter?"
Mari wiped at her face and stood on shaking legs. The worst of her cry was over, but there were still some tears hanging on. Opening the door, she tried to give the Doggen a watery smile. "Thank you Noah," she said, cursing the tremor in her voice.
The Doggen, not used to crying females in a house full of Brothers, looked highly uncomfortable. "Here is clothing for you Mistress. I am afraid we have no female clothing at the moment, but these should not be missed until we can procur some for you. My apologies. Also your tea is prepared," he offered her a tray with a cup and a teapot, both delicate china. "I took the liberty of adding a few shortbread cookies to the tray in case you were hungry."
"Thank you Noah," she said again, taking the tray and clothing. "I appreciate your service."
He looked at her like she had given him the moon. "The pleasure is my own Mistress. The phone by the bed is connected to the rest of the house. Dial 162 to reach myself in case you need anything else."

After he left she placed the tray and clothing on the bed. The clothing included a impressively large black shirt that fell to her mid thighs. The scent on it told her it belonged to the male who had brought her here. She closed her eyes, reluctant to wear it without his permission, but trusted the Doggen of the house to know his Master.
While her tea cooled she took a quick shower before slipping on the shirt. There were no undergarments, making her highly uncomfortable.
The red tangy tea was perfectly made. Sipping it took some of the chill off of her.



He liked her name. It was cute and energetic, like her.
The horse was a complication. He supposed it would have to stay in the garage until a suitable stable could be erected. He rubbed the back of his neck in thought. "It's fine. Our Doggen will be delighted to have someone else to fuss over. He has a hard time with me and my Brothers cuz we don't like being waited on. Break the poor guy's heart every time we tell him no. And as for my Brothers..." he paused a moment before looking at her seriously. "You stay away from Zsadist. In fact, do not leave my sight unless you are with a Doggen. Vischous is an arrogant smart ass but he won't harm you. Zsadist is not evil he's just... unpredictable sometimes. They won't care that you're there because I want you there," he added, surprised at how much he meant that last sentence. He really did want her there. He wanted to take care of her, keep her safe and fed and...

He shook his head sharply, pounding the flat of his hand against his temple. "I really need some food," he said as his stomach set up a protest. "And if I know Noah he's going to have a feast waiting for me," he said, smiling at the thought of food. "I'm too weak to materialize us there so we're going to have to walk. Or you can ride and follow me," he said, nodding to the horse.

It was a long way to the mansion by walking. Rhage felt pain with every step. It was not more than he could handle, it was just tiring and annoying at this point. His stomach growled again, sounding like a beast itself. He was aware that Juniper could see the tattoo along his naked spine, could feel her eyes on it.
"Yeah that's me," he said to answer the unspoken question. "Half-Dragon, Half-Tiger, all bad attitude. I'm really sorry you had to see that. Normally the only ones who see me that way are my Brothers so they're used to it. I'm really glad I didn't hurt you in my... Beast form," he said, not really knowing what else to call it.

When they finally reached the mansion Noah, having no doubt been alerted by the motion sensors, was already standing in the door way.
"Master Rhage, welcome home. And we have guests. How lovely," he said sincerely, rubbing his hands together in anticipation of caring for their needs. "You usual meal is waiting in the dining room. I shall tend to this noble beast and then fetch food for the new Mistress."

"Naw it's fine," Rhage said, "She can eat with- wait what? New Mistress?"
Noah nodded, clearly delighted. "Master Zsadist returned home not long ago with a Mistress in tow."
"Good God," Rhage said, rubbing his face. "Was she in one piece?"
"Oh yes, quite lovely I might add. She is in the guest room beside Master Zsadist's room," Noah said before stepping forward to Juniper. "I am Noah. Please call upon me Mistress for anything you might desire. It is my privilege to serve you."
Rhage took her forearm gently, well as gently as was possible for him, and led her inside the large mansion. The dining room table was covered with food. Tacos, pot roast, mashed potatoes, chicken, spaghetti, fettucine alfredo, grilled shrimp, baked potatoes, steak, steamed and roasted vegetables, rolls... it went on and on.
Rhage grinned like a kid in a candy store. "Noah I fucking love you!" he shouted before grabbing a plate and diving in. He had just filled his large plate to the rim when he froze and looked at Juniper. He sat his plate down and handed her an empty one. "Get whatever you wish," he said. "I'm not going to eat until you are ready."

It was the manners he had nearly forgotten he had, allowing the female to eat first. She would receive the best choices of everything. And for some reason, he didn't mind that at all. In fact, it made him feel really really good.

@DeadlyPhoenix
Lilia was barely conscious at this point, the masculine voice speaking to her sounding as if he was underwater. Or maybe she was the one underwater. That would explain why she was having a hard time breathing. Her eyelids fluttered when a scent tickled her nose. She didn't know what it was but it smelt really good. Unconsciously leaning towards it, her nose brushed against skin and she dimly realized this was where the scent was originating from. Her gums tingled, aching slightly as her hands shot up and gripped the mans arm without Lilia really understanding what was happening. She pressed her nose more firmly against the skin, tongue briefly flicking out to taste the area. In a flash, two razor sharp canines grew from her human canine teeth, the pain lost on her as she instinctively bit down and the most wondrous flavor burst across her tongue.

The liquid rushed into her mouth and she gulped it down, some of it dripping down her chin. As she drank, the fire and pain began receding bit by bit. When all she was feeling was numb, she pulled her mouth away with a gasp, some instinct inside her prompting her to lick the bite wounds until they closed. She dropped the arm and slumped in the seat, eyes fluttering as a sleepy feeling washed over her. She sank into the darkness welcomely and soon was passed out in the passenger seat.

@XxLyraxX@Belle

Vischous winced as she bit down on his arm. "That's it...It will help I promise." He said as she drank. When she was finished he could feel goose bumps as she licked the wounds closed. That would not matter since he heals very quickly but it was a nice feeling. As she passed out in the seat he called Noah on the phone hoping he would pick up. He would need help getting her into a room and would need to eat a lot of food in order to keep feeding her through her transition. "Come on Noah...pick up." He said waiting as he drove a little faster in order to get to the estate.

@DeadlyPhoenix

Noah was in the process of preparing to go out and pick up some clothing for the Mistress Marisol when the house phone started ringing. He recognized the number. "Master Vischous," he said warmly but respectfully. "The other Masters and their guests have already arrived home sir. Shall I have your usual meal waiting? Should I be expecting a guest from you as well sir?"
The Doggen's voice sounded nearly tickled pink he was so pleased. To a Doggen, serving their masters was their fulfillment in life, their greatest pleasure. If their household was happy, healthy and well fed, a Doggen was at their happiest.

@Belle

Vischous was relieved that he answered the phone. "Thank god. Yes I have a guest. I need help carrying her in my guest...She is in the middle of the change...I need help getting her to my room." He said as he turned onto the estate. "I will need A LOT of food. I am going to have to let her feed on me and I need to keep my strength." He said as he pulled up to the house. "I am outside now. I will see you in a moment." He said as he hung up the phone and parked his car. He got out already feeling the strain on his body. He took deep breaths as he slowly staggered to the passanger door opening it up and leaned up against it. Damn...this is going to take a lot out of me...but its worth it to save a life. He thought to himself.

Zsadist watched the woman walk away. He hadnt even gotten her name. Not that it mattered she was going to avoid her as much as possible. He didn't blame her. He wasn't a man of worth. He shook his head trying to clear it. His mind was all over the place. Having a female near was starting to affect him. He needed space. He knew Noah would take care of her. "Do you need anything Master Zsadist?"

He jerked at the sound of Noah's voice. "Noah I've asked you not to call me that." He hated that word. He knew the Doggen didn't mean it the way it had been used most of his life. But that didn't stop him from hating the sound of that word. "Ask the others to check on my guest later. She might take them checking on her better."

"I'm sorry sire. Vischous and Rhage have guest as well. I will make sure your guest has what she needs." Noah explained. He nodded. The Doggen would take good care of the female. He would make sure that she had anything she needed or wanted.

Juni had been taken a back by the look of the house and Noah ,who seemed to be the kindest man she has known other than Michel. She felt a hand on her arm guiding her from the man and then looked over a ray of food on a table. The Brotherhood are either the biggest wasters known to vampire kind or have huge stomachs. Looking at the size of Rhage she is guessing the other option she looks at Rhage and pointed at the table.

"All three of your brother eat this?" She asked in surprise her accent coming out a little more than before. Juniper walks over to the table as her stomach growled."Do y'all have," Juni spotted what she was looking for she near squealed when she grabbed the ribs."Okay I may stay longer just because of the ribs." She says with a laugh grabbing at least 5."I'll leave ya some. I may take the whole plate.." Juni says shuffling away.

Mari had been sitting and staring at the wall. The shakiness of her hands had mostly subsided. The clock said it was nearly 3am. Gage would still be up waiting for Will to get home. Picking up the phone beside the bed, she dialed.
After four rings the answering machine picked up. "H-hey guys," she said, trying to keep the quiver from her voice. "It's me. I wanted to-"
The phone was picked up before she could say anymore. "Mari?"
Relief at a familiar face washed over her. She clutched the phone with both hands like a life line. "Gage..."
"What's doing pumpkin? Where are you calling from? The number is blocked."
"My cellphone got destroyed. I was-"
"Destroyed?! Where are you? What happened? Are you okay? Were you in an accident? Do you need money? Are you-"
"Gage," Mari broke through the barrage of questions, a slight smile on her lips. Gage and Will were like a second set of parents even though they were nearly the same age as her. "I'm..." she almost said okay but didn't want to lie. "I'm safe now. I was attacked about an hour ago. Lessers."
"Oh my god! Where are you baby girl? I'll come get you."
"I'm... Really I don't know where I am," she confessed. "I'm not hurt. I was saved. Gage... it was The Brotherhood."

There was a pregnant pause on the other line, followed by a whispered swear. "That's some heavy shit Mari."
"I know. Anyway, one of the Lessers stole my wallet. I can't go home. So one of the Brothers brought me to some kind of mansion."
"You're telling me a warrior-male took a single female to his house?!" Gage's voice had gone from quiet to shouting with every word. "What the hell kind of douche face bastard-!"
"Gage calm down please," she pleaded. "He hasn't hurt me. He disappeared after we arrived. The Doggen is the only other person I have seen."
"I don't care! I'm contacting the glymera and petitioning for you to be released into my custody. You will stay with Will and me."
"Gage no, please don't bring the glymera into this," Mari pleaded. "I called you to let you know I'm okay. I don't know how long I'll be here but-"
"I know how long: about five minutes after I get a hold of that bastard! They're warriors Mari! Do you know what warriors do? They fight and they fuck! And guess which one they'll want to do with you! Do you really think 'no' will stop them?!"

Mari winced at the yelling. She did not take yelling well. It upset her. She had grown up with her human grandmother yelling at her constantly. "Gage, please... stop..." Mari whimpered, trying not to cry.



Rhage shrugged. "Nah, my brothers eat when they want. This is all for me. After I... well, after the Beast comes out, I come back tired and hungry as hell. I need all of this to recover from having every muscle, organ and bone in my body snap and rearrange themselves. Twice. Within a short period."

It pleased him to see her eat. He walked over and snatched the plate from her hands. Dumping the ribs off, he looked through them meticulously, only picking the best looking ones for her before handing the plate back. He ignored the fact that such an action was uncomfortably close to a bonded male's need to give his female only the best. "I have a good eye for meat," he said, trying to come off as casual. He grabbed his own heavy loaded plate again before sitting and beginning to inhale the food. A satisfied purr hummed in his throat, like a tiger savoring something delicious.
Piles of food disappeared down his throat with no sign of him getting full. The only time he paused was to pick the best parts of each type of food and setting them aside for her. It was scary how he did it so unthinkingly, like it was a natural thing he had been doing for years.

Noah came in after a while, clearing his throat to get Rhage's attention. "Excuse me Master Rhage, but I believe Master Vischous requires part of the fare. He is bringing a guest of his own : a female going through transition."
Rhage swore ripely then glanced at Juniper. "Parden my French," he said. "This is not going to be good."
Three females in the house?
"I believe she is suffering from some form of post traumatic stress," Noah continued, looking uncomfortably at Juniper. "Perhaps the company of another female might help soothe her?"

@Belle

Juni couldn't help but laugh at Rhage's cover up. She took it though mutter a "Thank you" before basically in haling it herself..not because she was hungry but because it tasted almost as good as her dads. Juni was half way done with her rib when Noah came in talking to Rhage so she quickly wiped any access Barbecue with a napkin. Juni continue eating a little bit more when the mention of 'Female company' and she nearly dropped her plate.

"Me? A-are ya sure I mean uh- uh ." She stuffs her mouth with a rib and points."Ahk kin'a e'e." Juni says not exactly caring how stupid she probably looks.

Juni has personally seen what happens to a vampire when they turn and if you add on the stress? Juni would rather face the Dragger ,its what Juni decided to call Rhages beast, then to handle a female going through that. Plus she's not exactly the 'Oh its okay' comfort type. She straight forward and can sometimes be a bit to blunt.

Zsadist stripped when he reached his room. As usual his room was dark. He rarely bothered turning on the light. He didn't need to so he saw no point in wasting the electricity. He made his way into the bathroom. He shower in the dark. He left the light off so there was less of a chance of him seeing his reflection. He hated the look of his body.

He was drying off when he heard the woman he had brought to the mansion talking on the phone. The walls were fairly thick but there were some places where sound traveled just fine. He wondered who she was calling. Since her talking to anyone outside of the mansion was dangerous he quickly got dressed and headed to her room.

He listened as she explained where she was. It wasn't the best idea but since the mansion was hidden from the world by the king and Scribe Virgin he wasn't too worried. Plus it was probably better for her friends to know where she was. Atleast that way the glymera wouldn't be looking for her. When he heard the tears in her voice her entered the room. Hr took the phone from her. "I hope you are happy. You made her cry."

@KatherinWinter@WildRose



Noah nodded. "Yes. Master Zsadist's guest. She is quite shaken," he looked from Juni to Rhage. "I wouldn't dare presume to overstep my place-"
"No never," Rhage said.
"-but it seems she does not want to be here, but Master Zsadist insists."
Rhage's brows came down in a frown, his expression one that would make John Cena back away. "Really? That's... That's not great," he said, musing to himself. One did not just go up against Zsadist. If he was keeping the female here there had to be a reason. But any he came up with spelled bad news for the female. "Keep an eye and an ear out Noah," he finally said, wiping his mouth before reaching for more pasta. "If you hear anything... well, unseemly, come get me."
Noah nodded and bowed before retreating.

Rhage looked back at Juni and felt he had to explain. "My Brother Zsadist... he's..." he rubbed the back of his neck, searching for words. "He's... difficult. He's been through a lot in his life and it hasn't left him with the best personality traits. While I don't want to think he would hurt a female... you just never can tell with him."

Noah came back not long afterward, bowing to Juniper. "Mistress, I have taken the liberty of preparing a room for you. It overlooks the guest house where your horse is being housed for the time being, until other accomodations can be made for him."
Rhage couldn't stop the school-boy mischevious grin.
His room overlooked the guest house. So did the empty room next to his.
Rhage loved their Doggen.

Noah continued. "I'm afraid we have no female clothing in the manor," he said, blushing a bit uncomfortably. "But I will see what I can-"
"Grab some stuff from my room," Rhage said, a little too gruffly if Noah's expression was any indication. "She can wear my stuff til she can go shopping."
She was not wearing any of his Brother's clothing. Hell no. He would provide for her.
Mine.
The possesive thought came so quickly and so strongly he actually stopped eating in order to process it. And to top it off his inner Beast purred at the thought.

Damn it he was in deep shit.



Mari gasped as the phone was taken from her. To her surprise it was the Brother from before. The scarred one who had brought her here.
Gage immediately started yelling at the Brother. Mari winced and cringed away from the phone, bad memories coming back.
"I'm sorry," she said, barely heard over the yelling coming from the phone. "He's a friend. He's just worried about me. He's just upset. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
She had never meant for all of this. She had just wanted to hear a familiar voice, let the only people who cared about her know where she was before they could worry.

"Listen here you roid-pumping douche-bag," Gage said, anger clear in his voice. "I don't care if you are a Brother, if you touch her I will rip your entrails out and wear them for a tie! When the glymera hear of you keeping a helpless unprotected female in your house you will be forced to release her. Unless you let her come to my home right now you'll be caught up in so many legal ramifications your grandsons will need a shovel!"

Marisol covered her face with her hands, embarrassed beyond measure. "It's my fault. Please don't kill him. This is all my fault. I'm so sorry."

Juni felt herself become a little more on the defensive hearing about Rhage brother. She was taught never to just roll over for anyone but to know her battles. She can handle bulls,cows and horses well and fight pretty decent for being someone who never really fought anyone before. She felt for her knife on her hip and sighed when she felt it. Sudden lost of appetite she placed her plate down and wiped her mouth.

Juni smiled slightly at Noah as he told her about her room overlooking where Opal, her horse, would be. She couldn't be more than grateful for the Doggen. At the Doggen continued into saying that they didn't have any female clothing so she had to wear Rhage's. It caused butterflies in her stomach. She grabbed it never feeling that before shrugging Juni spoke."I-it's fine..I got clothes back at my shed...I guess I forgot to get it on the way here. I'll go tomorrow to get some of it.." She says with a smile."And there no need to call me Mistress Noah. Call me Juni or Juniper."

Mistress just felt dirty to Juni. She has worked too and being called Mistress makes her feel spoiled; it scared her. Because her father had...mistress's when she was younger. They ended up in smoke every time because they would try to get him to love them more than he love Juni.

Vischous saw a few helpers come out and help him carry the woman into to the house. He did not know where to bring her so he thought his room would be the best place. "Take her to my room." He said as he headed up the stairs before them to clean up the floor a little to make it easier. He did what he could to make way for them as they laid her down on his bed. He looked over at her to see she was still asleep. He knew she would be okay for a few moments as he ran down to the the kitchen seeing Rhage and a female chatting.

"Nice to see you are okay brother." He said trying to be sarcastic but it was very obvious that he was completely out of it. He grabbed some chicken and beef knowing protein would be the best thing to keep him going. "I wont be able to leave my room much...If Noah did not tell you, I managed to find a woman in the midst of the change and tried to attack a group of lessers." He said still unable to even comprehend how it happened and why it happened. He finished grabbing his food and was about to head out the door back to his room. "Sorry to eat and run. If you need me you know where to find me." He said as he walked quickly back to the staircase up to his room.

He hoped she would wake up soon so he could explain to her what was going on. He did not want her to freak out when he was not in the room and think that she was kidnapped. That would cause too many problems especially if she had decided to call the police. That would mean a lot of paperwork and bribes to make it all go away. He walked into his room sitting on the bed next to her. He saw she was still asleep and placed his food on the bedside table eating as he kept an eye on her. He could not help but notice how beautiful she was now that he was not having to worry about lessers at that moment. He shook the thought away knowing it would only cloud his judgement. He did not want to become too attached to her in case she left him. He was worried he would not be able to put up with the heart break if that was to happen.

@Belle
Zsadist hated hearing the tears in the woman's voice as she apologized for something that wasn't her fault. He hated tears. They stirred up memories that he wanted to keep buried. He didn't think he just reactec. Without his brothers to keep him from doing something stupid. Which was why he did just that. He used the open phone line to phase to where the woman's "friend" was. He grabbed the man by his throat and lifted the man off the ground. He bared his teeth at the man.

"You are a terrible friend. She almost died today. She is scared and seeing reassurance. And you yell at her. What kind of friend yells at someone who needs comfort." He griwled. He might not know alot about the world or friendship but he knew that his brothers would never treat anyone this way. Especially a female. "Your friend's life is in danger. A lesser may have her information do you really think that you can protect her better then I can? Do you think of you can keep her safe from the Lessers?"

@DeadlyPhoenix
Lilia lay still and silent on the bed, a contrast to how she was earlier in the car. Her skin was paler than normal and stood out against her fiery red hair, which was curled on the pillow beneath her head. The minutes passed and soon her eyelashes began to flutter. After a few moments, her eyes peeked open, dazed and unfocused. She laid there, gazing at the ceiling as her mind stuttered and stumbled over itself to start working properly again. She remembered the fight, then feeling absolutely terrible and collapsing as she tried to vacate the area. Then...It was all black. As she tried to process the memories flitting through her mind, one thought rang out much clearly than all the rest.

That wasn't the ceiling of her room.

Her heart jolted as she shot into a seated position, eyes wide. However, a nauseous feeling swept over her and she swayed, dizzy, before slumping back against the pillows. She squeezed her eyes closed so she didn't have to see the room spinning around her as she focused on her body. The horrible pain from before was absent but she could feel the edges of it, waiting to crash back down over her at any moment. She waited until her stomach settled before she opened her eyes and propped herself up weakly onto her elbows, blue orbs scanning around the room. They landed on a somewhat familiar face and they widened even further. "You!" She exclaimed in a hoarse voice she couldn't recognize as her own. "W-Where am I?!"

@XxLyraxX

Vischous felt her jerk up then land back down on the pillows. He turned to face her as she asked where she was. This is going to be really hard to explain to her I imagine... He took a deep breath as he thought about what to say to her. How do you tell someone that they did not know they were born a vampire and now they have to complete their change. "Okay...First things first. My name is Vischous...What is your name?" He asked trying to keep her calm. Staying calm would make the pain less intense. He knew that she would soon would have to feed again but with her being awake it would be harder for her to understand the need for blood in her system.

@WildRose@KatherinWinter



Rhage frowned a bit. "The clothes in your shed will not be enough, unless you hid a whole wardrobe in there," he said, smothering a large bowl of mashed potatoes in hot sauce before practically inhaling it. "Let me buy you clothes. Trust me the King gives us more money than we know what to do with, then gets offended when we don't spend it. You'll be doing me a favor. You spend some of the money and I won't have to deal with his whining."

He saluted the Brother that came in moments later. "What's doin V? You look like shit that's been run over by a dump truck," he said in his good natured teasing way. He gave a light hearted laugh before waving a hand towards the female. "This is Juniper. Her family and home were destroyed by Lessers so I brought her here," the underlying tone in his voice told his Brother not to argue with him on the matter. "Juni, this is my smart-ass know-it-all Brother Vischous. If it's on a computer he can find it, hack it, scan it, change it... whatever it is he does."

Meanwhile Noah was staring at Juniper like she had given him the Hope Diamond. By giving a Doggen leave to call you by your name you were giving them the ultimate gift. He bowed deeply to her. "Thank you Miss," he said almost reverently before exiting the room.
Rhage laughed. "Now you've done it. He'll be walking on a cloud for the next week," he said.

Finally full, he stood and offered Juniper his hand. "I'll take you to your room. There are tubs and showers in every room. With jets," he said, wagging his eyebrows but not in a flirty way. More teasing and playful.
Well... maybe a little flirty...

The room was not small but not too large either. A queen sized bed sat against one wall. A vanity and chaise lounge sat atop a beautiful rug that looked easily fifty or so years old. Fresh flowers, pink roses, had been placed in a vase on the table beside the bed. A large red T-shirt had been placed folded on the bed.
"So... uh... we don't have any girly stuff as far as soap," he said, rubbing the back of his neck. "But Irish Springs is not that bad right? Anyway, you need anything my room is next door," he said.

Before Juni could go inside a frantic female came racing down the hall. "Please! Someone help! He's going to kill him!"
Rhage swore sharply. "Damn it Z!" he snarled and took off like a shot towards the room she had come from.



Gabe tried desperately to suck in air while trying to pry the Brother's hand from his throat. It was like trying to open a steel vise. "She needs to be with people who know her," he struggled to get out. "Mari is innocent, in every sense of the word. You don't know the shit she's been through, shit her own family did to her. Whatever you intend to do to her, she won't survive it. I don't care if you kill me but I love that girl like she's my own sister and you are NOT going to hurt her. Do you hear me?"

It was very hard to be intimidating and threatening to a male with easily five times your strength and currently holding you off the floor with very little effort.

Back at the manor Mari gasped as the Brother vanished. The yelling from the phone had stopped suddenly and sounds of struggles could be heard. Mari tried phasing but was too shaken to do so. Instead she went with the only option she knew.
Racing outside the door, she found a brightly lit hallway and a male and female speaking. "Please! Someone help! He's going to kill him!"

The male took off and Mari was left standing with the female. She looked close to Mari's age and very pretty, exotic looking.
Mari wrapped her arms around herself, shaking. "It's all my fault! I shouldn't have called him! But I didn't want him to worry about me! And now he's going to kill him and it'll be all my fault!"

If Lilia didn't get answers soon, she felt like she was going to hyperventilate. She was in a strange house, with a strange man, who had apparently picked her up after she collapsed from the pain. But why? If he had good intentions then he would have taken her to the hospital, not this random room! She managed to prop herself up the headboard and cross her arms over her chest, leveling him with a glare. "My name is Lily. Now why did you bring me here? What happened to me earlier, did you drug me or something in the fight?" She didn't feel comfortable giving him her full name. Besides, with a name like Vicious, he wasn't exactly a comforting presence at the moment. She briefly debated if she would be able to make it to the bedroom door then the front door and outside.
