Back from the Dead (originally tweeted 02/05/2016)

Manny: -I lay in bed, unable to sleep, but that wasn't  new; I hadn’t slept well since Jane died. Sighing, I sit up, the sheet falls to my hips as I lean forward resting my head in my hands. “What went wrong doc?” I said, talking to myself still asking myself all the ‘why’ questions and not being able to let her go. I stand up, walking over to the window, naked, it's not like anyone can see me and at this point I don't really care. What I care about is Jane but she's no longer here. Feeling tired and deflated I lean against the cold glass windows looking out over the city. Even though it's 3 am the city is buzzing, twisting, turning and full of people living their lives. I feel as though I am in a glass prison with frustration and anger being my guards, all caused by the loss of Jane. The only thing I have left that doesn’t make me feel like that is surgery. Not even the hospital holds my interest any longer. Everywhere i go reminds me of Jane. Pushing away from the window, grabbing my jeans and pulling them on, surgery is the only thing I have left to make me focus and feel whole. But unless I find a way to get some solid sleep, I soon won’t even have that. Heading bare foot out towards the kitchen, walking through an almost empty apartment that I’ve never had the time to fix up and now have no heart to, I find cold coffee in the coffeemaker. Pouring it up in a cup i don’t even bother with reheating it, at this point I’m so used to cold coffee I’ve almost forgotten how warm coffee tastes. Thinking about one of the last times I saw her alive she was happy and in love, she didn’t tell me much about the guy but it was obvious. That fucking bastard! It was probably his fault she’s dead! Slamming down the cup, coffee spurts all over, but I simply don’t care. I feel like throwing the god damn thing into the wall.

“Manny are you alright?” the voice comes out of nowhere. I twist around and am faced with the perfect hallucination of Jane. Shit! She was so real. Rubbing my eyes, I look again, and she's still there.  This is so not a good sign. I’ve never hallucinated about her before. This probably means I’m getting worse, not better. The image of her comes closer, but I'm backing off, not wanting it near, and then it stops.

“Good god I am going crazy! But you ….you look so real…..Jane….”.  Then she turns to me and says the most amazing things, things that make me wonder if maybe I should have pick up writing instead of medicine, considering what conversations my mind is making up.

“I am real Manny. I know it sounds strange but I am real, and I am here because I need you. My husband’s sister…”.

“Aaah, strange? You think?” I roll my eyes. “You are fucking dead, Jane, and I am talking to my goddamn self!” frustrated as hell listening to this…this ghost…. I pick up the coffee cup and throw it right at her. Instead of going right through her and hitting the wall it bounces off her chest, falling to the floor and splashing coffee all over her and the floor. I stand there unable to move or speak, not knowing what is going on.  

“Ouch Manny! That actually hurt” she laughs “but knowing this is shocking I will not hold it against you.” She comes closer, slowly as if she figures I might split, and I may actually do that. When she’s almost right up to my face she reaches out her hand and puts it on my arm and I feel her. I fling my head up to meet her eyes.

“How…how is this possible” the words are merely a whisper “you died I saw you, you are dead Jane I don’t want you to be but I buried you….oh my god” my voice dying out.

“I know Manny I know you can’t understand this and I wouldn’t either if I were in your shoes. But I need you to trust me and believe what you see because I need your help and I need it now. I have no time to tell you what’s going on right now but I will explain enough later so it won’t feel so strange to you.”

“What you will tell me ENOUGH?! What the fuck is that, you stand here alive when you are supposed to be dead, needing my help and you’ll tell me enough….FUCK YOU Jane! FUCK.YOU! After the outburst I see how she’s talking to me telling me she understands and it’s okay that I am mad but how she needed my help but I don't actually hear her. It's just her lips moving.

“Manny are you listening to me?”

“No, actually I am trying very hard not to at this point. I just don’t want to talk to my goddamn hallucination of you, it’s really pissing me off!” I yell that last part that my voice echoes in the empty kitchen and then comes the tears, hers of course not mine. I take a step towards her.

“Damn it Jane, I’m sorry….I’m sorry. Don’t cry I will help you of course I will help you just don’t cry, I can’t stand it when you cry.” I take her into my arms hold her and she’s as real as I am and I can’t get how that is. Why did she fake her own death? Probably that fucking asshole she met, I was going to bet that piece of shit to a pulp.

“Now tell me again what is wrong?” taking her face in my hands drying off her tears.

“It’s my husband’s sister, she’s hurt herself and is paralyzed from the waist down. I need you to take a look at her. I can’t see what’s wrong and Manny you are the best there is. Please take a look at her!?

“There is that word again, what husband Jane?”

“I am married now to Vishous….” I snort at the name and almost burst out laughing.

“Vishous, really Jane” I raise a brow.

“It’s not that strange…” and she laughs "Ok maybe a little strange. But he's a sweet and kind man.” Kind my ass!

She start telling me about his sister and about this nasty fall she had, and how she just had minimum resources at their home clinic and she could not do a full examination. When I asked why for the love of god they not gone to a hospital, Jane is evasive and blame it on special circumstances. I make a mental not to have her answer it later, apparently this woman who had been injured was important even special to her and it being Jane, my dear Jane of course I would take a look at her.

“Now will you see her, I’ll bring you to her, it will have to be done so you don’t see where we are going but I will take you too her.”

“It will have to be done….Jane are you listening to yourself?” I shake my head when she looks at me with that annoyed face. I hold up my hands. “Fine, yes I will see her but only if you bring her to St. Francis Hospital, I won’t be able to do shit at that so-called clinic of yours Jane.”

“But…”

“No buts Jane, St. Francis or not at all are we clear?” she finally nods once and I know she gets it. “And when this is all done you are telling me everything I hope you get that.” Before leaving, she turns and look at me “I will call you.” And then walks off and when I follow her into the living room she’s gone and there was noise of her opening the door to leave. I just stand there and look into the darkened room all of a sudden feeling very tired.-

New Prospect

Tiana: It had been an incredibly crazy day at Havers yet, skipping out on my time at Safe Place was not an option. There was a female there, that had been transferred over from the clinic last night and the need to check in on her had been twisting my stomach in knots all day. She had been severely beaten by her hellren for going out to the grocery store on her own, instead of letting one of her doggen go. She had been pretty much a prisoner in her own house since her mating and had decided, she was making a defiant stance. Unfortunately for her, her hellren was not the talk it out type.

I clocked out at the clinic, grabbed my belongings from my locker and met my own doggen in the parking lot. My family was allowing me the freedom of working at Havers’ but, they were not going to go as far as to allow me my own vehicle. It was a compromise.

Anyway, my doggen drove me over to Safe Place and dropped me off. The security was tight there and my doggen waited to make sure I was safely inside before driving off.

Mary greeted me just inside the door. I had grown rather fond of her in the time I had been spending at Safe Place. She was very kind to the females and children that came in and out of the establishment. She was also incredibly understanding of all their situations and the fact that any decisions they made about where they were going after Safe Place was their own, even if it landed them back in the same predicament that brought them there in the first place.

Worry washed over my features as I saw Mary. She didn’t generally meet me inside the door unless something wasn’t going well. My first thought was of the female I was there to see. I was terrified her vitals might have dropped during the day. She couldn’t afford to get any worse off than she was. “What’s wrong, Mary? Is it Catherine?” @MaryLTohrture

Mary: [I hear the car coming up the drive and knew that Tiana had arrived for her shift. I had hoped to have better news concerning Catherine. But #Jane confirmed that she needed to be moved to #Havers for additional care. She'd needed a hospital. We had one of their ambulances come pick her up a few minutes earlier. Tiana must have just missed them driving off.]

She’s fine, she had to be transported to #Havers after all. Her injuries were too severe. #Jane did all she could. [I explained quickly as I saw her anxious face. I decided to graze over her injuries, not wanting to upset her and give her hope on Catherine’s recovery when we had no idea the damage her idiot hellren rained on her. Poor female. I shake my head immediately of the thoughts and focused on the now.] Come in now, it's chilly out. We can go get a cup of hot chocolate while you tell me about your night at the clinic.

Tiana: As Mary explained to me that #Jane had decided Catherine needed more care than we were able to offer her here, I could see in her face what she wasn’t telling me. There was no guarantee that Catherine was going to make it at all. That was one of the things I hated about working here. There was no recourse against any of these males, aside from embarrassment if word got out. If a female went back to their hellren after recovery, there was nothing to stop him from beating her again. And Scribe forbid a female die at the hands of their hellren, there was no legal system in place to punish them.

There were some days I wished I had never seen this part of our society … and others where I wished I could go to law school and figure out some way to bring a legal system into our culture. But, those were thoughts that had nowhere to go.

Catherine was now at the forefront of my mind and I remembered seeing an ambulance drive past us on our way to Safe Place but, I did not realize it was one of our own. I had been too tired from my day. Now, I wished I had noticed. I might have called ahead and found out it was Catherine, had my doggen turn around, just so I could run back to Havers’ for a minute and check in on her. It was too late now, though. My doggen had already driven off. Besides, there were others at Safe Place that needed my attention.

I stepped past Mary so she could close the door and followed her down the hall to the kitchen, where there was a fresh pot of hot chocolate ready. I dropped my coat on a chair and poured myself a mug. Letting out a long sigh as I leaned against the counter, “The clinic was completely crazy today, actually. There was a house fire at a home that staffed a number of doggen. The family and all the doggen had to be shuttled in for care. Also, there was a female that was having a difficult delivery. Between all that, it kept us quite busy almost all day.” Walking over to one of the chairs, I sank into it for a moment, and Dearest Virgin Scribe did it feel so good to just sit. “I don’t think I’ve had a thing to eat since first meal.” I wiggled my feet around. Just getting off them for even a minute was like pure heaven. “Aside from what’s been going on with Catherine, how have things been here?”

Mary: [After pouring hot chocolate into two mugs, placing one in front of Tiana and upon hearing she had not eaten since first meal … I opened the refrigerator and started putting together some ingredients grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup.] Everything has been running like clockwork around here. The females have been helping out greatly around the home much to the chagrin of the doggen, I laughed. But she’ll get use to it. Many of the females are not part of the glymera and have always taken care of themselves without servant or others to help them out in their homes. So it's an adjustment.

[I start cutting the tomatoes and started to crush them and simmered the cream and butter on the stove while Tiana rested a bit. I thought maybe she would be a good fit for the manse to help @Warrior_MD in the clinic while #Jane was here at #SafePlace. We always need help with all the Brothers on rotation and the new trainees.] Have you ever gave any thought to do something more than what you do at #Havers? Or maybe getting more hands on experience?

Tiana: As I saw Mary pulling out food after my comment, I opened my mouth to protest, “You know you really don’t have to ... “ She just shook her head at me and continued. I reserved myself to allowing it, simply because I was exhausted, starving and Mary was a great cook.

I wrapped my fingers around the warm mug and took quiet sips as Mary went on to tell me about her day, here at Safe Place. I couldn’t stop my lip from quirking up in an amused grin at the description of the small battle that had been going on between the doggen and the females of the house. Having had doggen around me all my life, I knew the desire they had to care for everyone and their deep-seated craving to be needed. “I’m sure they will come to some sort of an agreement. It may take some time.” I chuckled softly. “But, I’m sure they will figure it out.”

My mind was drifting to Catherine again as Mary was preparing the food, until she turned and asked me about doing something more than Havers. My curiosity was piqued because I wasn’t quite sure what she was getting at. Where else would I get experience? I had been taking every online course I could but, as far as working on actual bodies, Havers was the only medical facility available to me. It’s not like I could go work at a human hospital. “I’m not sure what you mean. Where else would I get hands on experience? Isn’t Havers kind-of ... it? Or do you mean moving to a bigger area because, as far as our kind go, I was under the assumption that this was the most concentrated area around.” Mumbling under my breath, “Not that my mahmen and father would allow me to move far away, anyway.”

Mary: [Biting my lip, I argued with myself of mentioning the Brotherhood clinic … and decided against it. I would have to speak with Manny @Warrior_MD first and #Jane to see if it would Tiana would be needed. I knew she would be … Manny and #Jane were stretched to their limits between the Brothers, #SafePlace and the new trainees while trying to juggle their private lives. They needed a better work life balance but the only way to do that would be to hire more trained vampires for the Compound. Then there’s the security check I am sure @VishousBDB_ would want to perform on Tiana’s background. I wasn’t a vampire that could sense deception like @Wrath_BABBDB, but my gut feeling said she could be trusted and would be a great asset. Wrath would want a say as well, but I’ve been worried about him and @Beth_BABBDB … maybe they needed couples counseling. Internally I sighed at the thought … they just needed to really talk to each and be more open minded. I’m sure they would work it out eventually. Something has to give. I knew that the secret of the Brotherhood had to always be kept above anything else so I would wait and suggest it to the doctors first and go from there. I didn’t want to tell her yet and get her hopes up.]

No, I was wondering just that actually. I’m still sorta new to your world so I wasn’t sure if there were places outside of Caldwell nearby … not to say I want you to leave us but maybe there are workshops or internships you could experience for a determined amount of time. I can ask #Jane to see if she has any ideas about it. Perhaps her experience in the human hospital can give us some perspective of getting you more hands on experience. [I said as i finished up putting all the ingredients to cook on the stove for the soup and took a pan out to grill some cheese sandwiches.] How does that sounds to you?

Tiana: Mary had me incredibly curious now, and not just about getting more hands on experience. Her comment about being new to our world got me wondering. She had never really mentioned how she had become such an integral part of our world to begin with. I mean truly, how does a human end up working in a place like this for wayward female vampires? Not only that but, #Jane was human, too. As interested I was in those answers, I opted not to ask, for now. One day my curiosity might get the better of me but, today there were other things on my mind.

Shifting my thoughts back to more hands-on experience, I had never really thought much about options past Havers. I knew there were vampires that lived in other places but, as far as where most congregate, it’s here, in Caldwell, and I’ve always assumed Havers was the best in his field because of that. However, if there were more options out there, I would love to know about them. My desire for knowledge was never-ending.

Sitting forward in my seat and leaning on the table slightly, I looked back to Mary with excitement gleaming in my eyes. “Do you think it’s possible there are other options? I love working with Havers but, his staff is so set that it’s not the easiest thing in the world to move up in the ranks. I’d love the option to learn more.” Suddenly a thought popped into my head, “I wonder about the city? New York City I mean. I wonder if there are options there for further education. I know our kind lives there. Maybe, there are places there for internships or workshops?”

My mind was now on overdrive, working to think of options I might actually be able to look into. I wouldn’t be able to go too far. My parents would never stand for it but, the city just might be close enough, if I could find something there.

Mary: [I could literally see the wheels turning in Tiana’s head and smiled as she rambled on her thoughts. I really hope this might work out. But I needed to make the first few steps happen first before giving her any idea that there were other options outside of #Havers. I’m sure #Marissa and #Jane would agree with me. But the secret of the Brotherhood had to be maintained and protected. We had little ones and females inside the manse so @Wrath_BABBDB would need to approve if the docs showed any interest. I finished up and the soup and poured them into bowls and placed the sandwiches on plates and placed them on the table.]

Why don’t we eat up and we can make our rounds and check in with everyone. I’ll talk with #Jane and back to you on what options are out there, alright?

Tiana: Nodding, “That sounds like a great plan.” I smiled genuinely as Mary placed the dish in front of me. “And, thank you for this. I really needed something in my stomach.” As I dug in, thoughts were racing all over the place in my mind. I had always limited myself and my learning to what I could learn online and at Havers. I never really explored the possibility of other options. The problem with online courses was they were all about humans, and as much as our anatomy was similar to them, there was a lot that was different, too. That left so many things left to learn about that only Havers… or so I had been thinking, could teach me. It was as if a whole new world had suddenly been open up to me and I couldn’t wait for Mary to get back to me with some answers.

A Life Saved Part Two: Unexpected Surprise

Mary: [I was standing in the kitchen baking a red velvet cake for Rhage. I broke 3 whole eggs and started to add the milk with the flour when my cell phone rang, surprising me that a bit of the flour mix got on me, my polo and on the counter. Sighing at the mess, but seeing that it was was Rhage calling I smiled.] Hey baby … I’m baking a cake for you.

Rhage: [Hearing my shellan’s voice even on the opposite end of the line had the same calming effect on me as seeing her face to face. Yea the in person was the best possible calm me the hell down ever but in a pinch just call her.] You know I love your cakes. You are just wanting me fat and spoiled. [The laughter in my voice couldn't be denied as I loved her for more than just her cooking and she knew it.]

Mary: [I smile as her my Rhage’s laughter on the line.] There is no fat /at all/ on that body and you know it. [I whispered just in case there were any vampire ears around.] Besides, I've licked every inch of it … so I /know/ you’re just being modest. [I hear him growl and I smiled to myself. I wonder why he was calling me since he was suppose to be out on rotation with @Qhuinn_BDBFM.] So what's doin’ my male? Everything ok?

Rhage: [The split second my shellan mentioned licking each inch of me, my cock came to attention making it hard to stand comfortably for the strain in my leathers until I shifted with a growl that was full of lust and love only you would ever hear.] You know my rotation with Q-ball was tonight. Well ... [Cutting my teal eyes to the baby sleeping nestled against my ribs within the curve of my arm.] Let's just say there was a development and we need you to meet us at SafePlace. [The edge of worry was in my beloved’s voice so I quickly eased her worry while closing the Escalade door with one hand, the cell propped between my ear and shoulder and the baby still sleeping near my ribs.] We are fine. Just meet us at SafePlace, baby. Q-ball is driving so you know it won't take us long.

Mary: [Listening to my male’s growl always makes me warm and flush. But I tried to stop my hormones as he requested for me to meet him at SafePlace.> Sure Rhage. I’ll get #Fritz to drive me. <Hearing the door close, I knew that Rhage was in SUV with Qhuinn.> Do you need me to bring anything or anyone? <I asked wondering what was going on and what happened on their rotation this evening. I’m sure everything was fine. He sounded calm and collected so I knew that  #TheBeast hadn’t paid a visit tonight. I called for #Fritz and left explicit instructions that the doggen not touch the kitchen counter no matter what … and that I would be back to finish Rhage’s cake. I knew it would bother them … but hey … I promised that they could clean everything once I was done.>

Rhage: Just bring your bright and sparkling self. [I could hear Fritz fussing about something then made of the words”cake” and a “yes mistress” to what you had said to him. Fritz could hold his own and his knowledge was one reason we let our shellans go places with him. He could fight and would die to protect each one of us without question and we all trusted him] I'll see you there, baby. [Qhuinn snorted at my use of a pet term for you and how I was with the love of my life. He had zero clue as to just how deeply my love for you ran and probably wouldn't be able to scratch the surface with any attempted description. Pulling the door closed with one hand after ending the call and putting my cell back into my pocket. The baby curled harder into my ribs and I instinctively shifted the small bundle so she could feel the warmth coming off my body while Q drove like he was trying out for an IndyCar race]

Mary: [I walked with #Fritz to the front of the house and out the vestibule doors out into the courtyard where some of the cars the Brotherhood used were parked. I touched the hood of Rhage’s GTO and made a mental note to maybe go on a car ride soon. Maybe a picnic, wine, dessert … a blanket … al fresco … shaking my head of livacious thoughts. I thanked #Fritz as he open the door of the heavily tinted bulletproof Benz and we headed out the many gates that surrounded the Compound as we drove to #SafePlace, I wondered what Rhage was up to. Meanwhile, I'll visit with #Marissa or maybe @BellaRAhgony if they were working.]

Rhage: [The sound of a tiny grunt was all that pulled me from thoughts about my shellan. The way her hair seemed to glow in the light as she swung her head side to side or the way she'd moan my name in moments of ecstasy. I had to shift as my thoughts had my dick reacting with the need only my female could take care of but the baby suddenly slammed her foot into my ribs. She wanted attention and she was demanding it. I had to swallow the growl when I saw the way she was working her fist and was sure she was starving. It only became more evident when her small belly rumbled just as Q pulled up outside Safeplace. I was out before the vehicle stopped and already searching for my female waiting for her to arrive.] 

Mary: [#Fritz could drive like a bat out of hell, I smiled. We arrive at #SafePlace and o see @Qhuinn_BDBFM’s Hummer parked out front. I knew males were not allowed inside so I thought maybe they had rescued a female from her hellren again. Pity. Seems even domestic violence touched the vampiric world. I stepped out of the car as #Fritz opens my door and see @Qhuinn_BDBFM’s back as he’s talking to Rhage blocking him. Well not exactly blocking since Rhage is huge at 6’8”, 280lbs. My baby can't hide behind anyone. I start to to giggle until @Qhuinn_BDBFM suddenly steps aside.>

Rhage: [Q had been standing in front of me rattling on about what we'd found while on patrol but the instant my eyes spotted Mary he effectively shut his piehole. He knew the look of a male who only could see his mated shellan so he stepped aside knowing we'd finish our debrief on the night’s events before we went before @Wrath_BABBDB. I’d damn near forgotten the small bundle huddled against my ribs until Mary’s eyes moved from my face to the perfectly cradled form of the baby Q and I had rescued from the attic where it'd been hidden] Mary ... Baby ... I'd like you to meet each other. [My head moves between each of the females as Mary moves closer her eyes locked on the child. Then I heard soft cooing as the baby girl instantly let it be known she liked my shellan.]

Mary: [I listened to Qhuinn’s banter until he suddenly moved to the side and I caught sight of a bundle Rhage was holding. My heart beat a little faster as I stepped closer and closer to them. As Rhage mentions the word “baby”, I see an adorable cherub face peeking through the blanket in his arms.> Oh she’s so beautiful. May I? <I asked hesitantly wanting to hold the baby in my own arms. He placed her in my arms and the weight of her was so light. It has been a long while since I held a baby. When she grabbed my finger, I felt my heart tug a little. Looking up at my hellren I asked the million dollar question.> Where did you find her?

Rhage: [Looking from Mary to Q then back as the baby grabs her finger. This moment seemed perfect and I knew by the look on my shellan’s face that this young had latched onto her heart.] Q and I were on patrol when we found her. She's alone. [I gave Q a look that said tell no more out in the open as I would tell Mary in private some of the specifics but nothing too graphic.] Let's take the baby inside and get her checked out then we’ll talk about what to do. [My hand on my shellan’s lower back as she carried the baby inside. Q and I standing guard going over exactly what we saw and what we think is happening in the city.]

Mary: [I nodded and now I understood why he called me. Only females were allowed inside #SafePlace, and though I’m sure #Marissa or one of her employees could have met them … I have the feeling that maybe this little bundle affected Rhage like she did me and he had wanted someone to stay with her the entire time while getting checked out.] I’ll take her inside. Will you wait for me Rhage or did you want me to call #Fritz when I’m ready. [Already thinking to myself whether #Jane would allow me to bring her to the manse instead of leaving her here. I guess I needed to speak with @Wrath_BABBDB and @Beth_BABBDB. I was just about to suggest asking them when the door opens and #Jane’s face appears.]

“What do we have here?” [She asked. I looked back at Rhage, Qhuinn and Fritz.] We’ll be fine. See you in a bit. [I wanted to get quickly to check her out … even though she looked … perfect. Absolutely perfect.]

Rhage: [I stood beside the Hummer while Fritz and Q spoke. My teal eyes followed my shellan inside #SafePlace until the door closed behind her. I felt like a caged animal while waiting and nearly snapped when Q called to me ... twice. The growl was something feral as I scrubbed one palm down my face. “Get a grip. Her and the baby will be fine.”, I kept repeating to myself as I nodded for Fritz to take off.] Q and I will get them to the manse. [Q’s head near spun around exorcist style at my choice of words and it took me a few to release I'd said /them/ not just Mary.] Man don't look like I've lost every marble in the bag upstairs. You can't tell me that the little minx all bundled up didn't get you right here. [I pointed at the spot over my heart to get a solid shake of the head from Q. I was wrapped around the fingers of two females and didn't even realize how tight I was in fact wound.]

Mary: [Jane took the baby girl from reluctant arms and checked her vitals and did her thing with the stethoscope.] “She's healthy and seems unfazed by all the drama.” Jane comments and laughs.

Yea, she's seems fine. I wonder how Qhuinn and Rhage found her. [I pondered as I rewrapped her in her blanket and picked her up. Janes and I started to discuss what to do with her. All the mothers here had there own children to deal with and the single moms were all doing their part and to help around #SafePlace to feel useful and productive while #Marissa tried to help place them in jobs around the city so they could all get back on their feet. There seemed to be only one logical solution. Picking up my phone I called Rhage as Jane gathered what supplies I could possibly need. He answered on the first ring.] Baby, could you call @Wrath_BABBDB and get permission to bring baby girl to the manse for a while until we can find her family?

Rhage: [Flipping out my phone on the first ring and answers hearing my shellan’s beautiful voice.] Let me get him on the line. Come on out here and get warm in the Hummer. [While Q had gotten into the driver's seat leaving me propped outside I added.] I love you, Leelan. [Ending the call and dials Wrath’s number telling him about what had happened and a baby needing protecting. The kind only my shellan and I could do. I heard the growl in @Wrath_BABBDB’s voice but knew he knew like I did that I wouldn't back down once my mind was made up.]

Mary: [Jane gave the finale ok and said she would call ahead to #Fritz with a list of supplies that the baby may need until we could find her family. It’s been awhile since Nalla was a baby so we need to restock all the baby things. Thinking to myself the boys will be excited to have a new little one to spoil … even if for just a few days until we could find her next of kin. They may seem all big and scary but one cute little face and they were teddy bears. I've seen it time and time again with Nalla. Remembering @ScarredNLethal’s transformation with the birth of Nalla and her growing up even @VishousBDB_ and @DhestroyerCop were suckers for her pouty face. Laughing to myself as I exited the doors of #SafePlace into the waiting arms of my hellren.] Take us home, Rhage.

Rhage: [My teal eyes lit up and I heard @Qhuinn_BDBFM laugh as he knew I only ever saw you when you walked into a room. A bonded male just has that vibe, that need to see their mate and by the Scribe seeing you made both man and beast happy. The baby in your arms didn't take anything away but rather enhanced as I saw that “mom” expression on your face.] Right this way and we will have you two home in no time. [Opens the hummer door and helps you inside then climbs in beside you with my arm draped protectively across your shoulders keeping you and the munchkin safe while Q pulled away from #SafePlace driving back out towards the manse.]

Impromptu Distractions

Impromptu on the TL

Mary: [Tries to distract @BestialChaos from hazing the new trainees.] Hey … umph… Rhage … [Gently coughs.]

Rhage: [Teal eyes move over @MaryLTohrture from her toes up to her face before kneeling before her] You are a damn good distraction. [Leans down taking hold of one of @MaryLTohrture’s feet removing her shoe then slowly kisses over her skin working my way up her leg.]

Mary: Mmmm … [I groan as I feel his lips touch my skin as his hands graze over me in a caress.] Rhage … [I whisper.]

Rhage: [Cutting teal eyes up when you whisper my name while my right palm skims up your calf caressing your skin.] Yes, my Mary. [Speaking between gentle kisses while soft growls vibrate over your skin.]

Mary: [I was speechless as he continued his trail up my body the growls creating a humming pulsation that was a direct line to my core … I could feel myself dampening with need. My breathing became shorten and my pulse began beating faster.]

Rhage: [The scent of your arousal was directly in connection with my cock which responded by swelling & aching behind my leathers. I wanted to hurry & taste more of her but another part wanted to take my time, ease her into it until she was putty beneath my touch begging for more so I went that direction wanting her pleasure above my own while snaking my palms up the backs of her thighs, placing kiss after kiss on the softness of each inner thigh.]

Mary: [As he gets closer and closer to where I want him most, I can barely stand as my legs become jelly as it slowly softens for him and become putty in his hand. Hand my touches his beautiful blonde hair as I watch his real eyes light with pure lust.]

Rhage: [Rolls my lust filled gaze up at her, supporting her with my palms flat on her round ass. Their push up had shoved the skirt higher so when her fingers dove into my hair I slid my tongue out over one inner thigh working my way up and breathes in her scent. My teal eyes level with her sex seeing just how damp she was & suddenly felt thirstier than I’d ever been in my life. Diving in with a deep growl I slide my tongue along her slit glad for once she didn’t wear panties on this night.]

Mary: [The first slip of his tongue on my sensitive clit had me grabbing his hair and on his shoulder in order to keep my balance. I was getting so lost in his touch. He always did this to me … made me forget about everything but him and me. His tongue was wicked as he tasted me like a French kiss. This male had many, /many/ talents … his tongue was definitely at the top of the list. I was so close to cumming. My insides tightening more and more.]

Rhage: [Growling against her clit when she grabbed hold of my head & shoulder at the same time. That move of hers was my cue I’d proverbially scored a homerun. Rolling the tip of my tongue over the swollen bud of nerve endings every so often before dipping it between those wet folds of her sex. I couldn’t get enough & knew I never would. Using my hands on her ass to lift her up with her legs over my shoulders before standing & moving her back against the wall. I was devouring her letting my tongue work deeper inside her feeling her core tighten up while my teeth grazed her clit wanting to taste her release before I’d sink my aching cock inside her & take her over the edge again.]

Mary: [I could no longer think of anything but my release that I was taken by surprise as I felt my feet leave the ground and felt the cold wall against my heated back as he lifted me as easily as a feather and pulled my legs over his shoulders. I fisted into his blonde hair as I felt his growl like a vibrator against me and with that and the combination of his tongue and teeth makes me fall over the edge of my peak as I screamed in ecstasy.]

Rhage: [The sounds & taste of her orgasm had me growling deeper. My tongue delving deeper wanting every drop while using one hand to flick my leathers open & cursed the choice of fabric as it ripped beneath my hold. But at the moment I couldn’t care less about the destruction of clothing as I gave her slit one final long lick capturing the last of her orgasm then slowly lowered her from my shoulders so her back stayed on the wall.] You taste too damn good. [Licking my lips before covering her mouth with mine sharing her taste while guiding my throbbing cock to her slick opening & started easing inside her with a slow thrust forward of my hips.]

Mary: [Before I could recover from my orgasm, I felt medley being lowered slightly as my sweaty damp body slid down the wall onto his waiting cock, my arousal making his entrance much easier but still he slowly entered me knowing how large his 6’8” frame would fit me. I felt every hard inch of him. His hardness entering me grazing my walls, his kiss, tasting myself, had me feeling naughty and hot. Then our closeness had my over sensitive clit rubbing against his tight hard abs that it had me on edge again in moments. I gasp for air to prepare myself for another ride.]

Rhage: [Each gasp she takes I push deeper letting her body adjust to the thickness & length of my cock until her body ripples around my aching shaft nearly sending me over the edge but I fight to hold on knowing only /my/ female can or will ever affect me this way. Easing my hips back then forward in a rocking motion letting her take the last inch before pushing hard against her while my tongue finds hers. My fingers grip her ass tight before I draw back off her lips to let out a growl from her core working my shaft with every muscle rippling along my length. I can barely think of anything but the pleasure of being inside her so I give up trying simply repeating her name as I move my hips back & drive forward letting our bodies slam together at the same time I rip what’s left of her dress off exposing her perky nipples to my gaze] Beautiful … And all mine! [Growling once again before sealing my mouth over one nipple nipping at the hard peak between suckling like a newborn babe.]

Mary: [His growl send shivers throughout my body as I feel it along his chest through his abs against my clit and then as he takes my nipple into his mouth and sucks … I can no longer hold on as another orgasm rips through me as I cum undone. His words prolonging my pleasure as I groan. My body gripping his steel hardness in vise … trying to coax him to let go. My voice hoarse from the screaming that all I can do is bit his pectoral muscle through his t-shirt to try and ground myself back to earth and catch my breath.]

Rhage: [The instant her blunt teeth bite my chest I know I’m a goner. The scent & feel of her release washing over my cock has my balls tightening up as I drive my hips faster against her. The sounds of our lovemaking fills the room along with our scent as the dark spiced aroma of my bonding scent wraps around her body. Just as I think I can’t hold out any longer I feel the pulse of her core muscles rippling along my shaft working me until my seed spills inside her womb with one final thrust of my hips.] MARY! [Roaring out her name as I try to find the ability to move us off the wall & over to the bed in our room. Each step has her bouncing on my sensitive cock until it starts swelling once again inside her.] Fuck baby.

Mary: [Smiles at his expletive and whispers.] I’m ready for Round Two if you are Rhage. Can you close the DM doors, baby?

Rhage: You don’t have to ask me twice. [Growls as I will the doors shut & locked down as I take my female into DMs for the night.]

Behind Closed DMs

Rhage: You are making it hard to not roll you onto your hands and knees right now. [Slaps her ass with one hand.]

Mary: [Jumps at the slap ... then gets on my hands and knees and slides down closed to the bed so my hips are in the air and my legs are further apart. Looking over at you over my shoulder.]

Rhage: [Growls while my hand slides over her ass that she's holding high in the air. My cock still rigid only gets thicker at the sight & I crawl behind her, leaning down & gently bites the soft mound of flesh being careful to not let my fangs protrude.]

Mary: [Sighs quietly as you bite me, squirming from your assault ... wanting you so much. Your hands sending sweet caresses up and down my back ... making my body putty ...]

Rhage: [Sliding my hand up your spine then back down to grab your hip as the scent of her arousal hits me like a Mack truck. My free hand palms the base of my thick cock guiding the head to your slit finding out just how wet and needy you are] I ... Can't ... Be ... Gentle ... [Gritting my teeth as I try to be gentle but the combo of our arousals has me growling before with one hard thrust I'm buried hilt deep in your sex.] Oh fuck. [Curling over your back with one arm wrapped to support your hips while I work my hips back and forth, moving inside your too tight pussy.]

Mary: [I groan as I feel your hard cock piston through me, your hard body blanketing mine. My hands fist the sheets as I try to hold on to any sense of sanity I have left to try and make this good for you. I squeeze my internal muscles so they grip your dick so it gets tight. But I can't hold on as your angle runs against my front wall behind my clit as its rubbing against the bed. Tom many sensation have me cumming fast and hard. I scream.] Rhaaaaaaaaaaage …

Rhage: [Pistoning my hips while feeling your pussy walls clamping down on my cock like a vise. I growl beside your ear as my tempo quickens until the sounds of skin slapping is a constant to both of our ears.] Yes, baby. Cum for me. [Biting down your neck until my fangs graze your shoulder then drags my head away roaring in an almost animalistic way as I drag your body back to me, getting up on my knees so that your release run down my thighs.] I love you! [Each word coming out growled before another roar of pleasure as I slam my hips against your body so my cum shoots deep inside your womb again filling you up, leaving us both panting and covered in sweat.]

Mary: [My body has long since been under your command since that first night so long ago that it obeys your request as I cum as I feel your blunt bite against my neck. My honey dripping from me from all the orgasms and your release from earlier sliding down my thighs. I hear your outcry as you find your release and feel your cum coat the walls of my sex as your arms tighten around our damp and exhausted bodies.] I love you too Rhage. [I barely whisper as my strength has left my overly satiated body and he gently lies me back down on the bed allowing me to close my eyes and rest. I'm so glad I found that dress ... that now later tattered on the floor. I need to order the other colors I thought to myself as I get myself starting to drift into a heavenly contented sleep.]

Rhage: [Shifts us so her body is spooned against mine with my arms wrapped protectively around her small frame.] Sleep well, baby. [Voice low as I kiss one shoulder before burying my nose into her dark hair letting her smell ... /our/ smell ... relax me even further while feeling satisfied on every possible level there is.]

Revealing The Past

Micah: -Looking up once Whisper opens the door to leave seeing you in the doorway.- Mary … -Getting up quickly and walking over.- Please come in.

Mary: [I entered the room that @GypsyWhispered stated that someone had requested my presence … just as I was about to knock, the door opens.] Hi … you must be Micah. We haven’t had a chance to be formerly introduced. I’m Mary, Rhage @BestialChaos’s shellan. I so nice to finally meet you. [I said as I extended my hand in greeting.]

Micah: -Taking your hand smiles a little.- Yea I’m Micah thank you for coming to talk to me I feel like I’m losing my mind it’s getting so bad … -Sighs rubbing the back of my neck.- Please come in and make yourself comfortable.

Mary: [Shaking your hand, I do feel a tremor run through you and into me.] Do not worry, I’m sure perhaps talking about will help you and maybe alleviate any of your anxiety. [Sitting down on the chaise in his room, I sit and bend my knee underneath me.] So, tell me … what do you think I could help you with tonight? [I watched as he paced the room and nervously tried to gather his thoughts. I stay silent wanting him to have all the time he needed to gather his thoughts and decided where in his story he wanted to start. It was important that he lead the conversation so I could understand the background and to see if I could help him anyway that I can.]

Micah: -Pacing not quite sure I’m ready to tell anything but knowing I need to.- His name’s Rhipper. I was 17 when I met him … -Sitting on the bed my head in my hands.- I thought he was a good male well I was wrong by far, he abused me for 9 years before I had enough and ran from him. The nightmares are getting worse, I’m seeing him out of the corner of my eyes or in the mirrors behind me.

Mary: [Domestic violence, it seemed to be more and more common amongst the vampires civilians even probably more than @Wrath_BABBDB and #Marissa had first anticipated when they first started #SafePlace. I watched as he nervously sat on his bed and quickly told me the summation of his story, so fast, as if his mind were running away from the nightmares.] It’s normal to feel shadows following you if you have been abused. I worked for a number of years at a suicide hotline where people would call in crying out for help. Many were victims, like you, of domestic violence. Have you ever spoken to anyone other than myself about your past?

Micah: -Shakes my head no.- I’ve never had anyone to talk to besides Devon and I haven’t seen her in months, this is the longest i’ve gone without seeing Rhipper or that he has gone without showing up to take me home. I never had a chance to stay in one place for as long as I have here. -Looking at the floor sighing lightly.- He is driving me insane and he isn’t even here.

Mary: [I listened quietly as he explained his ex wondering if he knew that he was slowly calming down … I was hoping that the talking was helping.] Who’s Devon? [I asked hoping that perhaps it’s a best friend.] Where is she now? [Waits while he answers and then continues …] Have you always had these visions or nightmares or has something recently triggered them?

Micah: I’ve had them since I left him as of late they are getting much worse and Devon, she’s like my sister she’s at the safe house I was staying at when Beth contacted me for the assistance job. -Touches my shoulder closing my eyes.- I can start from when I met him if you need me to.

Mary: [I could see that he was uncomfortable and not quite ready to talk about it. I waited until he opened his eyes to look at me.] Micah, we don’t have to talk about it. Not if you’re not ready. Sometimes it helps for someone to just listen about your day. You could tell me how your work for Wrath is doing, or talk about what you’ve learned or whatever you want to.

Micah: -Shakes my head looking at you.- I’ll never be ready to talk what he did to me, how he is affecting me now, I feel like I’ll never be ok. Like the little monsters in my head are right, I’m not worth it I don’t fit in and I don’t belong here. -Sighs- That if I just cut a little deeper just once and end it all, everything will be so much better.

Mary: [Surprised that I hadn’t noticed any cuts on his arm due to the long sleeve shirt. Then again, I’m not a vampire so I would not have smelt the blood.] I don’t think suicide is the answer, besides I know that the Scribe Virgin frowns upon that and will not allow you to venture towards The Fade if your death is by suicide. Our Brother #Tohr could better explain and perhaps give insight. I won’t tell you his story since it is not mine to tell. But perhaps you might consider speaking with him to maybe gain a little perspective. You must remember that you are a part of our family now. Once you walked into the manse and the King and Queen gave you leave to live here … that you then became part of the family. Our family.

Micah: -Sighs- I can’t help it … It’s just what they say in my mind. -Noticing you glance at my arms, I look at the floor.- Not on my arms I’m not stupid enough to put them there and get myself caught. -Touches my shoulder.- I can do this … I’ve lived through it once talking about it will be nothing compared to actually being there …

Mary: Are you taking anything … to try and silence the voices? [Thinking back when #Phury had the wizard and was really heavy into the red smoke. Now though he was clean and living very happily with @PhurysAddiction. She brought him back to us. Maybe Micah had the same demons.] Take your time Micah, you can tell whatever you want and know that I will not divulge any of the information to anyone else … unless it endangers anyone else.

Micah: -Nods, sighs moves farther getting comfortable on the bed.-Well I met him at 17 he was a bartender. It was storming badly so he decided to let me sit by the bar. We talked for hours, and finally he offered me to live with him until I got on my feet again. I thought he was a good male. A couple days after I moved in he brought me dinner in my room. I said no thanks and he smashed the plate on my dresser. -Sighs- I should have noticed how he acted and that something was off with him. But I was happy to have a home again, somewhere I was safe.

Mary: [I listened quietly allowing him to tell his story at his own pace. I knew that this would be difficult, but I was hoping saying the words out loud would allow to exorcise his demons and show that that they are only memories, nothing more.]

Micah: -Looks at the bed, my eyes lighting up from inside the pupils glowing white.- A few weeks into staying with him he came home drunk and tried to force me into bed with him. When I told him no, he wouldn’t stop so I shoved him off. Well when I shoved him off he hit his head against the wall and that only pissed him off more. That was the first time he hit me. Only once and hard enough to crack my jaw it was swollen for weeks after that. He kept food from me and put a lock on the outside of my door. He started locking me up in the room at night.

Mary: [I listened as he told his tale, my heart breaking on the inside. I got up and sat next to him on his bed and wrapped my arms around in a hug. I quietly asked him to continue.] How long did this last and how were you able to finally escape him?

Micah: -Sighs relaxing into the embrace.- About 9 years … he fell asleep and forgot to lock my door, and I took the chance I was given. I ran from safehouse to safehouse but he always found me. This is the longest I’ve gone without him finding me or showing up.

Mary: Well he won’t find you here. There is no way in hell @VishousBDB_ would allow anyone to step foot anywhere near the Compound without permission. You are very safe here at the manse. I would not worry at all about him trying to track you here. Did you tell anyone about getting this appointment?

Micah: Just Whisper knows I actually talked to you that’s it. -Looking at the floor.- Thanks for listening to me Mary it helped ease my mind a little.

Mary: Good, then I’m glad that I could help in some way. But unfortunately I can only sit and listen … your true sense of contentment is when you face your fears head on and realize that your fear does not rule you. That it is only in your mind and not your body.

Micah: -Nods and sighs lightly.- I understand and thank you again for sitting with me. -Getting up and walking you to the door.- I’m sorry to have suddenly called you in here at random like this. -Watching you step out into the hallway and wave shuts the door sighs leaning against it.-
