Help Needed at Safe Place
Marissa: *I needed some help at #SafePlace this evening and the person I thought of was Mary, with her past experience of working at #SafePlace with me and with her work with sessions with Zsadist, she would be perfect for what we had to get through and done today.
We had to make some visits to the female’s of #SafePlace. For me it was sorting their rooms out and making some new spaces for more people to stay. More rooms were getting added. Both Mary and I thought that it would be best to add the new wing and name it after Wellsie our friend who went into the fade. I drove up outside once more I got out of my car. I got to the doors I closed the big gates behind me from the outside world I checked on the camera’s that were keeping a trained eye out for anyone that approaches. We both got inside and I closed the doors behind me locking them up.* “We can start the day by first going to my office to see what needs to be done and what you can help out with.” @MaryLTohrture
Mary: [Marissa and I arrived at #SafePlace and we immediately walked through the corridors to her office to start strategizing all that needed to be done today.
I was happy to stay busy and working … rather than spending any time with my thoughts to myself. Technically, I never had to work again in my life. As a shellan of a Brother, I want for nothing. There was no rent, or mortgage, no taxes … #Rhage had taken care of all my previous debt and hospital bills the day I moved into the manse all those years ago and Vishous takes care of all the rest as a whole: cell phones, cable, utilities, car insurance and /health care/? Who are we kidding? The Scribe Virgin took care of that too without #Manny or #Jane. #Rhage bought me my car and #Fritz magically supplied all my food, clothing and anything I needed. I even had a Black American Express in my name. At first it was disconcerting to not have bills since I’ve been taking care of my mother and myself for so long but now I know how liberating it was not to have to worry about bills especially all those hospital bills anymore after living paycheck by paycheck after the discovery of my mom’s cancer and then my own. Yet, I would trade almost all of it back for my hellren. I missed him … I missed us … I even missed all of his pop culture movie references. I missed his smell, his hugs, his kisses. Just thinking about it made my body hum …
Shaking my head to get rid of any naughty thoughts before they ran rapid in my brain … and I tried to concentrate on what Marissa was saying about the other females of #SafePlace.] @TreasuredFemale
Marissa: *We both walked into my office as soon as we both got inside. The outside world was left behind whilst I was here. I could not be thinking about what was happening with the Brotherhood at the moment and the fighting. For what I had to do in #SafePlace today was more important. I mean don’t get me wrong the fighting was too much for me and the Brotherhood means more to me than anything. But the job that I had here meant a lot to me I would not give it up for anything. When Mary and I both got to the office we went inside and made a plan for the day ahead.* @MaryLTohrture
Mary: *I sat in front of Marissa’s desk and she logged into her computer. We checked on emails and the Facebook page that was private and dedicated only to the race to see if anyone ever needed our help. The majority of the cases we took were referred by Haver’s hospital or word of mouth. #SafePlace, while created a few years back when Marissa met Butch, was still relatively new concept to the vampire race. I knew Wrath was making headway in some of his policies and as soon as training program was well underway once again … his next project was some sort of police force with a lot of input from Butch.
Marissa finished checking her daily tasks and started pulling out some folders and papers.] So where are we starting today? @TreasuredFemale
Marissa: “I think it is best that we start at each room to see what the females and their children require. It just an idea. But I am open to any thoughts or should we start with the one on one interviews?” I grabbed the big folders and a lot of papers that needed to be put into the papers first before we done anything. I grabbed each folder the first one was a female and her young daughter, I looked up the name and then I put the paper that matched the folder.* “I think that we should start with this one first what do you think?” @MaryLTohrture
Mary: [Pulling the folder towards me and see that it's for Bitty and her mahmen, who have been with us the longest. I remember when I initially read their file and what #Rhage told me about the hellren. I shuddered knowing that domestic violence was not limited to the humans. I was thankful that he was there with V and Butch to save the both of them.]
I can start with the first few rooms with mothers and children. That should take care of the first batch. Why don't you take the females without children? That way we can divide and conquer. Then we can get with the staff on what to purchase and get a shopping list going. @TreasuredFemale
Marissa: *I looked towards Mary whiles she was looking at the girl and her mother’s file the new girl that had came to the place and her name was Bitty.* “I noticed that you are thinking about the girl. See what she tells you I would love to know more about her, but she is not opening up much about her life. But yes it sounds like a good plan that I will take the females without children. I can do that I agree with you on the all divide and conquer plan and then do the shopping list. I think that we will have to do a big one this time. Since this place is filling up just nice and fast . I have a big budget so not to worry about money.” @MaryLTohrture
Mary: [I nodded as I closed their file and got ready to stand. Thinking of said budget.] Perhaps I will take Bitty and make brownies or cookies downstairs while the females are in their classes and see if I can get her to open up. Perhaps sweets can be a lead in? [I smile as I would hope even vampire children are similar to human children in regards to fresh baked goods.]
Ok, sounds good, let’s reconvened again before Last Meal. Did you want to eat with the staff here with the residents or shall we head back to the camp to have Last Meal with the other females at the Great Camp? [I asked, wondering … when Last Meal can be shared with my hellren once again. I internally sighed.] @TreasuredFemale
Marissa: *I had got all the papers and the folders in my hands and I went on with the job at hand.* “When I am doing the shopping order I shall add more sweets and freshly baked goods to the list. The children are very fond of them and they have requested that this should be put down. I will make a note of it. I think that I am going to eat with the rest of the staff here today and then make our way back to the camp once we have finished up here. If you are ok with that Mary?” @Mary_LTohrture
Mary: [I nodded again as we gather our things and start another day at #SafePlace. I left Marissa’s office and headed to my own to drop off my bag and grabbed my thermal mug that #Rhage bought me. A beautifully detailed hand made mug where a purple dragon is wrapped around the mug with the tail making the handle. I wanted to stop at the kitchen and make some hot cocoa to start my night dreading the daylight hours where I would pass alone again.]
