Rebecca started to relax a bit in his arms, her body starting to stop shaking and her breathing calm. She trusted them both with her life, she didn't know why but she did and that made her relax. If Ash said Lucifer wouldn't dare try coming here for her, then that means Eric wouldn't being getting Lucifer's pleased side once he finds out Eric sent me here in the first place.

"Well I hope that Lucifer doesn't kill Eric, he might be a complete a** but he is a really good leader to the clan and dose watch over it very well. If Eric is killed Hector would take over and I don't know if he would have the strength to do so after feeling the death of Eric." Rebecca says softly, she was a worried for Hector, one of the other Elders and someone that was very close to her as well.

Rebecca softly pulled back too look at Ash giving him a small smile, "I'm sorry for all this trouble I brought here." She says softly wishing she wasn't such a handful sometimes.

Ash smiled at her and shook his head slightly, "You didn't bring trouble here, Rebecca... Eric did... And he will pay the price for it... As covetous as Lucifer is known to be, he is a good tactician. He isn't likely to leave the clan in bad hands so he'll make sure that Eric's punishment is fitting. You'll see..." he told her softly then leaned in to give her a kiss, mainly since he couldn't seem to help himself with her.

"Now then... what do you want to do with the rest of the evening?" he asked her, a teasing light entering his dark eyes that was probably quite familiar to her by now.

Rebecca kisses him back and smiles, she adjust her weight a bit as she was starting to feel like her new self again, leaving her passed memories in the pass, but when she did she heard a crinkle of paper under her foot. She looks down seeing the stack of papers that were on Sebastets desk scattered a bit on the floor as she didn't notice her wings knocked them off when Ash pulled her too him. She lightly kneels down to start picking them up but she couldn't help but notice her name in everyone of the ones she picked up, so she started to glance over them.

She looked at all the papers a bit surprised, "These are all about me, from the people in town and servants. They see me as there protector, they trust me and wish for me to cook for them." She said it a bit pleased and shocked a bit, "I didn't know I had such an impression on all of them." She smiles as she felt the light of how much enjoyed her knew life now fill back in her, finishing picking up the papers she lightly stood setting them back on the desk.

Rebecca looks at Ash with a warm smile on her face, "I think we should celebrate, even though it went a little south I'm still safe and I have my life to myself now." She says proudly.

Ash gave her a soft chuckle and tapped the tip of her nose playfully, "I know we should celebrate, lover, but I had no idea just how you wanted to do so. I had a few ideas, but I'm not entirely certain that our minds will mesh on ideas at this point," he told her, unable to help teasing her despite the fact that he was absolutely serious about it.

Yes, he'd had ideas. But most of them involved being naked. So he really did need to know how she wanted to celebrate her triumph of the evening.

Rebecca smiles as she knew what he was thinking with that playful passion in his eyes and looking at him in that outfit that still showed him off so well she wanted to join his ideas, but what of Valick. She should see how hes doing and tell him everything will be fine.

She shakes her head at that thought, No it was her own life now, Valick is in good hands and she will see him later when she has spent the rest of the time she has with Ash before he has to leave, there will be plenty of time for her and Valick to catch up.

"Well I think we could have some more fun back in my room, what was the point of wearing hot outfits like ours if we don't get enjoy taking each other out of them" She says playfully moving closer to him as she wraps her arms around him lightly and gives him a teasing kiss.  

[Red Gypsy]

Ash returned the kiss, managing to turn it into something more than teasing before he managed to pull himself away and gave her a deep chuckle, "Alright, you little minx. We'd better get to your room before I decide to 'cristen' Sebastet's desk!" he said simply, knowing that his control only had so much in the way of limits.

So he escorted her from the office and up to her room, where he wasted no time before showing her how proud of her he was for standing up for herself.

Andy and Michael arrived at the castle early in the night as they approach the gate, they looked at each other as they both we thinking and feeling the same thing, something felt off about the place as though something terrible just happened.

"Michael, there is something very wrong here, maybe we shouldn't visit just yet, it might be something that they don't want us to know about?" Andy says softly standing by the gate looking around.

Michael glances around a bit too looking for someone to talk too, "No Andy, we should just see if Valick and Rebecca are alright first, if they wish us to leave after seeing them then we will go, but we might be able to help out." Michael had his guard on and he never walked away from something that gave them an uneasy feeling and always needed to make sure there family was safe.

Andy looks at Michael knowing what he was thinking and nodded lightly, "Alright, let's see if we can talk to Sebastet if she is here." Andy says softly as he always kept his calm, knowing that getting worked up was never worth it.

A servant passed by and Michael got there attention letting them know who they were and once they told them they were Rebecca's uncles they seemed to feel more comfortable around them and agreed to bring them to Sebastet, leading them through the castle, into the wonderful garden and showing them to her office, they waited patiently for Sebastet as the servant went to go let her know.

It was a bit before Sebastet came into the office, her tail moving agitatedly behind her. This time, she was dressed in black fighting leathers; bustier, pants that rode low on her hips and laced up the outsides of her legs, knee-boots that were actually more like a sock than a full boot and enabled her to walk even more silently, and gloves that moved up to just below her elbows. She also had her sword and daggers on, her sword-sheath set for a downward draw at her back.

"I hope you both have better manners that Eric. I'm not in the mood to deal with it tonight. I've got six people missing and five trying to get to them before they die. Two of the missing are my godchildren, one of whom is pregnant. So make this quick," she stated without preamble, not bothering to charm or tease them as she had with Eric.

She moved to stand on the other side of her desk from them, leaning over it as she looked at a map of Darkness Abounds as she tried to trace the path she knew the rescuers would have to take into the swamp. Beside that, she had a map of the island, using that to try to rework her protections. She shook her head over both maps, her long braid shifting behind her in the process, then looked up at both of them with a frown, "So who exactly are you? I know you're here to see Rebecca but she's currently trying to keep the brother-in-law of the pregnant female calm while his husband helps the rescuers. If you're here to talk to Valick, he's currently pouting in his rooms over the fact that Rebecca got involved with the Incubus that was kidnapped," she added, clearly not in a mood to play around tonight.  

[Darsto_23]

Andy and Michael looked at each other from hearing all this news at once, hearing that there family was alright relaxed them a little, but they knew that they were going to enjoy having a talk with there niece about this Incubus she got involved with, but hearing that he was one of the ones taken made him and the others important to them as well, being friends of Rebecca's. They are not at all surprised Valick is pouting about Rebecca finding someone new, there just glad that he was leaving her be about it.

They look back at Sebastet giving her an apologetic look, "I'm Andy and this is my brother Michael. We are very sorry to just show up like this, it was rude of us not to send word of us coming here. We just heard news about Rebecca stepping her ground and wanted to come congratulate her on it, but we felt something was wrong when we arrived." Andy spoke in a softly sorry tone showing no rudeness.

"We just wanted to see if our family was alright and see if there was any way we could be of some help. Hearing your troubles and hearing that Rebecca has a friend in trouble, we would gladly go help get your people back. My brother and I are very skilled together when it comes to these things, but if you wish us to leave we will without another word" Michael still had his guard on but he was cool and calm with his tone, not wanting to be rude in any way to Sebastet seeing her uneasy with this trouble times right now.

Sebastet frowned again as she thought hard, "Andy and Michael... Andy and Michael..." she tried to remember where she'd heard that combination of names before, her expression clearing once she did, "Ah yes... Turned by the same one that Sired Valick... Eric boasted about your skills once but I put that down to him simply blowing hot air... but if you're here on your own, I'll take his words as truth, for once," she commented, rolling her eyes over Eric's idiocy.

She went silent as she considered them for a long moment and finally blew out a long breath as she made a decision, "Fine. I'll take your help. The rescuers are going to need the help. I'll make a portal to them when you're ready. You'll be meeting up with two shapeshifters, a demon, and two mages. The shapeshifters are a WereTiger, who is probably not in a good mood at present so I'd advise caution when dealing with Dev; and a Demonicus male, my godson known as Wind and twin brother to the pregnant female, known as Blade and my goddaughter, that was taken. The demon is the mate of that female, Anube. The two mages are a blood mage, Rose, currently lovers with my librarian, Cain, who was taken most likely by mistake; and Desha, a healer-mage, immortal, and father of one of the others taken, ShadowDancer, another godson.

"Those taken were the Incubus, Ash; Cain Albright, vampire and my librarian; Dancer, soul- and heart-healer, half human-mage and half selkie, all WereSnowLeopard; ShadowBlade, Demonicus female currently pregnant with twins and probably not in the best of moods right now; Snow, female vampire, former slave of the one who took them all, I'd suggest leaving her to Dev when you find her; and Ora, shapeshifter, very young, very innocent, and most likely taken by mistake. Of them all, Ora will be the most frightened.

"Ash is one of High King Lareth's best soldiers and assassins. I'd suggest looking for him first with the others, second in Kula's bedroom. Cain will probably be the most annoying to you. He's clumsy at the best of times, tends to ramble on odd subjects, but is the most intelligent people you'll ever meet. Leave him to Rose. Dancer will be biding his time to do something and doing his best to keep Ora calm. He'll be thinking of others before himself," she gave a soft sigh at that and looked down at her hands on the desk, frowning at her claws as she remembered what he'd done for her, "You should know that he's one of our main blood donors here and has kept more than a few residents sane, even helped ease them past alot of their inner pain and issues from their pasts. He tends to work himself to exhaustion doing so..." she added that as a side note, not wanting them to be shocked by his scars.

"Ora leave to Dancer and Desha, they'll be able to calm her down and help her past this. I don't know what good she'll be when you find her... As for Blade... I'd suggest staying out of her way as much as possible... Don't go near her until after Anube has calmed her down and Desha has checked to make sure she isn't going to loose the twins... And tread warily with her after that," she tried to think of anything else to tell them and remembered Snow...

"As for Snow... Leave her to Dev and Desha... She can be as cold as her namesake but it's a fascade she uses to protect herself. Kula will have gone after her to retrieve her 'property' and make her pay for leaving. She'll likely be injured pretty badly.

"Kula's lair is in the swamps of Darkness Abounds, which is why Rebecca is staying here. To keep her out of Lucifer's notice. She's got full control of her abilities and powers now, and the full freedom to be herself," she offered them a small smile as she thought of the girl, "She's now my head chef and the most popular person on the island aside from Dancer and Cassius," she added that one in, letting them know part of what had sent Eric back very unhappy...

Michael and Andy smirked a little as they were amused by her eye rolling and tone about Eric, they really didn't not know any that didn't not like Eric besides one and that was Christine, but she was just as cold hearted as him so they were perfect for each other.

"Yes, as much as we hate to say it Eric is truthful on our skills and we are here on our own though as it was a good time to slip away from Eric as he has a lot on his plate from losing Rebecca and dealing with a now very angry Lucifer." Michael says with a bit of amusement at the end about Eric as the brothers looked at each proud of there little niece.

They silently stood there patiently as they let Sebsatet think it over not urging her on in any way. When she spoke saying she will take there help and nodded and let her tell them everything they needed to know, every now and then looking at each there as they thought out a plan. Them being vampire twins gave them an ability to hear each others thoughts when they wanted too, to be able to talk things out and listen as Sebsatet talked.

They agreed on the fact to find this Ash first for Rebecca and help out the others in any other way they can. Michael hearing from Sebastet about Dancer made him feel like he will help him out after finding Ash, hearing that he helps others out a lot and is always drained from doing so, he wouldn't mind lending a hand out to him to help him through this as he dose for everyone else.

Andy couldn't help, but glow a little from hearing all who was together and in love, hearing the passion to save all there loved ones, made him want to help out even more, he just wished he has someone close to him like that.

They both smiled a little as well when they saw a little smile grow on Sebastet's lips when she spoke well of Rebecca, seeing that she was proud of her and pleased to have her here as much as they were proud and pleased for her to have her freedom for once.

Michael and Andy took a moment thinking over each others thoughts, hearing where they were going was not a new place to them as they had experience being there once for Rebecca in her dark times and they never met this Kula before but they have heard of her and what she dose.

They then looked at Sebastet giving her a reassuring confident smiles, "Well will be sure to return your people safely my lady and we surely are ready to go as soon as possible, the sooner we join them to help, the sooner we can help bring everyone back safely." Andy says in a warm ready sweet tone and softly goes into a bag he brought with him, pulling out very nice hand crafted himself throwing knives all laid out neatly on a belt holder, arm holder, and a thigh holder. Michael already had his sword on his back as it was a very long sword as it almost was taller them him from handle to tip.

Sebastet gave them another nod of thanks and reached into one of the drawers of her desk, pulling out a dagger that she passed to Andy. It was steel with silver along the edges of the blade and a rather large dark emerald at the base of the hilt, "Watch the edges of that, I had it lined with silver, but show it to Desha and he'll know I sent you to help," she told him then headed towards the door to the office and closed it before taking a few steps back from it.

She whispered strange words too softly for them to hear it as power formed a soft green glow around her gloved hands that she directed towards the doorway. One moment, there was a simple wooden door there, the next, it was a portal to a dark, dank swamp, "Go. You'll know Desha by his silver hair and eyes the match to mine," she told them simply, knowing that Desha would be the easiest one to see.

Sebastet closed the portal and sat down behind her desk with a heavy sigh, dropping her head onto the desk to rest on her crossed arms with her eyes closed tightly. She'd had to lave Lio in the Armory, arranging the items in there by type since she hadn't been able to do so just yet, to deal with the kidnappings. She'd done what she could in sending who she could to get them back but she still hated that it had happened at all...

Now she could only hope that they'd get them all out and home safely.

But they'd all trusted her to keep the island safe... This incident only proved that it wasn't safe here... So how did she protect them all now?

The hunter's moon glared angrily through a thick blanket of clouds. Starke stood at the edge of the forest staring up at the imposing castle. He shoulder his duffel bag and strode towards the gates, waving to the servant at the doors. "Excuse me, Im here to meet a friend could you direct me to Sebastet's office? I was told to check in there first." He tilts his head up looking at the moon and sniffs slowly his eyes glinting silver in the moonlight. "I sense quite the commotion going on, have i missed any fun?" the servant nods and leads him throughout the grounds, weaving through the extravagant plant decorations and through the foyer. "Sebastets office is right through here sir." As he leads Starke through the hallway of the castle and knocks on Sebastets door.

Sebastet raised her head from her arms, probably looking as exhausted as she felt about now, and looked at him a bit dumbly at first. Then she took in a deep breath and sat back in her chair, motioning to one of the chairs on the other side of her desk in the process, "Come on in. I'll assume you're here to check on Rebecca as well. You should know she's got Sanctuary here, so don't attempt to try to talk her into leaving. Valick is currently pouting in his rooms because he's not getting much attention from her. Andy and Michael showed up as well then offered to help bring back some of the residents after they were removed involuntarily. Rebecca is, at the moment, helping another of the residents to stay calm until they get the others back. It seems a bit confusing, I know. Just trust me on it. I'll send someone down to get her as soon as I know who you are and exactly why you're here," she told him.

Admittedly, she'd just given him alot of information, and made a big assumption, but better to get the information out of the way now than to have to do it later. As for the assumption... Well... She'd had alot of people in her office lately to see Rebecca... She was very popular right now...
