Ashley had gone as instructed to the Doctor to be tested as commanded by the Lady Prescott and then made her way back to the bar as expected. This time she was dressed more business minded, her make-up more subdued; she was ready to get to work learning what was expected of her and what the Lady needed.
She looked around for Alex who she'd been told to report to and eventually found him embracing a young woman so she went into wait mode not wishing to disturb him.
Alex looked up and saw Ashley. "Good morning Ashley, Lucinda just wants you to help out here at the bar or at the house. We are caught up here so why don't you head to the house. I'm sure there will be things she needs you to do there. She and Andrew will probably be in bed so just go on in and do whatever."
Ashley smiled and nodded in acknowledgement
Very good sir I shall see what I may do for my Mistress, please have a pleasant day
Then once she’d finished Ashley stood firmly erect her posture perfect yet relaxed as she walked away heading towards the house.
She entered as quietly as she could manage testing the doors and floors for sounds that they make so she can use them to track someone in the dark or see that they are rendered silent if her Mistress demands. Soon she has found her way to stand just outside the bedchamber door and wait.,

Holly decided to leave Tabitha with whatever she'd do to the werewolf, knowing her anger when roused could be quite volatile, and that she couldn't do anything to stop it. She debated about going to Lucinda or Garrett, but decided against it. Instead, Holly headed towards a pub she had seen on her way through town, entering it, she glanced about.
Piper glanced up and saw Holly and waved her over. "Hey! I haven't seen you in a while. What have you been up to?"
Holly gave Piper a smile, approaching her she said "Oh, not much, been here and there. The world has a lot to offer" She gave a soft laugh, glancing about them, "But I just...wanted to be home for a time" To Holly, home was wherever her family was. "What about you?"
Piper let out a deep breath. "Apparently I met my mate and imprinted on him and there is such a crazy pull that we can't stay away from each other even though I don't think we like each other much. I was here to make sure that I wasn't under a spell."
Holly gave a laugh, and said 'Sometimes things don't have to make sense, Piper. I'm not too sure there's a spell that can do that, but probably for the best." It seemed that Holly had missed a bit, and said "There seems to have been a lot going on, lately. What have I missed?"
"Oh, well my mate is Garrett's sone with Siranna Holiday. Yes he actually birthed a vampire child with her. Garrett and Tabitha are together although I'm not sure they are doing the deed yet. Andrew and Lucinda are back together for the umteenth time. Although I think it's serious this time. Let's see, hmm, Oh Alex is running the bar and he has a werewolf girlfriend. We are about to go to war with a wolfpack that is run by an evil bastart named Samuel who killed Garrett's boy Jackson. I think that's about it...." Piper ordered another beer.
"Tabitha says they aren't" Holly said absently, thinking on the potential war, she frowned. Perhaps she had chosen a bad time to come back, and yet, Holly knew she'd be there through it all, "Whoever said love wasn't contagious obviously doesn't know supernaturals" She gave a laugh, shaking her head, "A werewolf girlfriend? Thats interesting, to say the least.
Well, I think its certainly going to be an eventful time. Mama's angry at a werewolf herself...although I'm not too sure if that's because she's lost a potential spawn..."
Piper raised an eyebrow. "Oh really? That seems pretty interesting." Piper went to order another beer.

Andrew woke up with Lucinda laying on his chest, he smiled as he looked at her sleeping face. He started to think about where they would find a witch or warlock willing to do their marriage ceremony. He also wondered where his own spawn were and whether any of them would be able to make it.
Lucinda woke up and looked into Andrew's eyes and she smiled. "Hi baby, I suppose we have to get moving. Ashley will be here soon."
"I'd rather stay in bed a bit longer," he said with a smirk. At the mention of Ashley, "Ah, I forgot about that particular detail." He kisses Lucinda as he gets up from the bed.
Lucinda gets up and showers and gets dressed. When she opened her bedroom door she saw Ashley standing there. "Good morning Ashley." She smiled
Good Morning Lady Prescott I trust all is well? says Ashley in a gentle but well pronounced tone.
Then she looks directly into Lucinda's eyes and asks Is there anything you'd wish me to see to Madame?
"I received the report from the physician and I'm sure you are aware that it came back perfect as I expected. I would like to eat first if that is alright." Lucinda asked. She liked to be kind and figure out the young lady before she commanded her too much.
Ashley felt a sort of electrical rush at the thought of the Lady feeding on her for she'd been several months wasting her vitality which to her was almost a crime.
As you like my Lady please take me anyway you wish for I exist to serve. Ashley offers knowing some like to eat standing and others take her to a couch, bed, floor or table.
Lucinda pulled the covers up on the bed and sat on it. "Come here." Lucinda pulled Ashley to the bed and lay her back and pulled her skirt up and bit into her femural artery and drank careful not to drink too much. "Simply delicious." She smiled and called Andrew over. "Drew, come take a taste. She is perfect."
"I don't mind if I do, it has been a while since you have said someone's blood was perfect." He extended his fangs biting into her shoulder and drank his fill, careful not to overdo it. "Wow babe you hit the jackpot finding her," he says with a smile.
Lucinda smiled and nodded.

After their discussion about working together to become a small group, Cassius was still on the bed thinking about the first two people he wanted to bring in. Two individuals he befriended in the past, one he kept safe from a vampire coven the individual grew up in and the other...being from a vicious pack that lead Cassius to meet with in a violent fight. Despite what they've been through, he could trust them both but he knew they were going to need reassurance for survival. Cassius had to remember the location each of them were so to know where to start.
