Rosemary finished with the outwardly healing and gave her a little vial of the stuff. "If you drink that, it should help you heal any... internal injuries. Such a request shouldn't be difficult to grant, but if we're not around whenever you wake up you must not wander out of this area. If you do, we'll be unable to help free you if Heegh decides to pull you back to him. The feeling this place gives off will become weaker when you've started to wander too far."
She sort of looked at the rooms and eventually said, "there's no one in that one. It should lock from the inside, but I believe that is also one of the rooms with a nice view that allows little harmless critters into the room." Meaning one of the walls is designed around a branch that allows little critters to enter and the same wall is practically a window to the outside. Sort of designed to make you feel like you're sleeping outside when you're not.

Adira nodded and she swollowed the vial of the healing potion. She winced slightly as it slid down into the inner bruises that lined her chest. It righted a deformed-under-natural-healing rib and a few other misguided bones. She finally stood and bowed shortly in gratitude
"Thank you" She said softly.
Banquo and Ophelia even nodded their thanks as they followed their master into the room Rosemary pointed to. Adira walked into the room and closed the door. It felt nice to close something with her own will. She leaned against it with a sigh, her eyes were suddenly heavy, her energy was drained.
Adira lied down upon the bed, Phe and Ban hopped on it as well and made themselves comfortable. Banquo lied on the end of the bed, below Adira's feet and Phe lied next to Adira. The king size bed left room enough for all though Adira was curled in a fetal position. Finally, her sea green eyes shut out the world.

With Adira finally asleep, Rosemary opened her hidden wings and vanished. First things first. She was going to clear out her house for a few days at least. Since it was almost x-mas anyways, she could make it look like they were going to celebrate it elsewhere. They might as well... GL's house? Well if Heegh was going to seek them out when he found out they weren't home that might not be the best things. Ask his cousins if they want to hold it this year when they wake up? She doubted they'd refuse.
She knocked, more like banged, on BlackMN's bedroom door. "Wake up! Pack a suitcase! We're going to celebrate x-mas somewhere else this year! Come to the main room when you're ready." She then went off and did something similar to everyone else residing.
BlackMN woke from Rosemary's unintentional command, rubbed her eyes, smiled sleepily at the dark face in front of her, moved out of her bed and began to pack things to last her a week while still topless.
After giving everyone the wake up call, Rosemary began to write notes saying that they're closed to the public for the holidays, and taped one to the gate at the bottom which she also locked, and put one on the front door that she locked, and continued to put the house under a lock down (security systems on, lights on their timers, windows locked and barred, etc) to make it seem like a legitimate holiday. She went into the kitchen and gathered some of the holiday goodies in her pocket dimension, talked to the ghosts when she saw them, and ended up in the main room and gathered the gifts.
--------
When Rosemary left without so much as a word, Veni turned on Jacob with his hand on the other's chest and began to push him to move. If he didn't go with Veni, he'd fall over because there was no way for the human to push back hard enough, even with his whole body, against the vampire's hand. The only thing Jacob could do to stop him from his task, was to tell Veni to stop. The slightly shorter man could guess at what Rosemary was doing; either Thas or at their friends.
When he got them to another room that appeared to be empty, he shoved or led Jacob in. Depending on how agreeable he was with the vampire leading him away.
"Have I ever told you of my very first encounter with the satan? Most terrifying creature I had ever seen. Didn't even know that was really him at first. He killed several of my children, allowed me to scratch him so he could bleed, resurrected them with his blood, and enslaved them all before their dust could scatter. I've been very grateful he hasn't pursued that...so far... normally I wouldn't be disagreeable to helping someone..."
His voice became more and more bitter as he went on and his normally perfect balance seemed to be escaping him. "...But what if he finds out we're helping this girl who seems of some importance to him? Would that push him to do whatever he's scheming faster? He could easily pin her down right in front of us...and we wouldn't... she's never been forcibly violated... not like me... Not like me! I'd rather experience it again than have it happen to her... or you... It's abominable, appalling, atrocious, awful, cruel, despicable, detestable, dire, dreadful, ghastly, horrid, loathsome, lousy, nasty, repulsive, revolting, scary, shameful, shocking, terrible, terrifying, unpleasant, and downright unbearable. So many words I could use, but not a single one can quite describe it even when put together. Please tell me you have one of those strong good feelings you get once in a while about this!"

Galantros jolted up from bed, while still clinging to Black when Rosemary banged on the door. He almost, ALMOST, stupidly answered Rosemary with an "okay!" himself, but caught himself in time.
As Black got ready, GL looked for where his shirt went. Finding it, he slipped it on, and just over his head to notice that Black was about to go out the door... topless.
GL: "Woah woah woah woah! Wait a second Black!"
He had to fall over the bed, and stumble/crawl to get at her, fixing her night gown so she didn't flash anyone outside of the room.
- - - - -
Jacob saw the worry and anxiety in Veni's eyes... He suddenly drew the vampire in a tight embrace and gave him a master's command to help his nerves.
"Veni, calm down."
He breathed deeply for a moment himself... those fears entering his own mind, but he forced them to quiet for his and Veni's sake. He then concentrated, mentally thinking to the spirits around them, and searching deep within himself...
Searching, for that subtle feeling, that often blossomed into something stronger...
Sometimes it hid, but usually it didn't take long for it to expose itself, and gve him some clue.
Ah. Found it. There it is.
Rubbing Veni's back, he spoke calmly and quietly.
Jacob: "Veni, I can assure you that things will turn out alright. Even stronger is my hunch that something that.... terrible... won't happen to her. Not only because of my hunch, but because I know you and I would sooner sacrafice ourselves then to allow such a thing. But it won't come to that."
"This doesn't mean I don't want to demasculate that b*****d of a fallen angel still. Not when he tries so hard to make such hurtful and sick fantasies a reality to my loved ones."

BlackMN blinked a little confused as he helped cover her up. So it wasn't a dream... While he leaned over her still she gave him a long kiss. "I passed out in the middle of it didn't I? I feel like Rosemary drained me only I know my blood's still there... which is still pleasant. How did you enjoy such a feeding?"
--------
Veni twitched a little at Jacob's order for him to calm down not sure if he wanted to. Of course he did since Jacob remained calm and leaned into the man, resting his head on him, breathing his cool breath onto his neck, and started to stare at the pulse as that helped calm both him and Rosemary. Of course it also made them crave blood more the longer they stared even if they weren't all that thirsty.
They would sacrifice themselves, but Veni would just be dead while Jacob would live to comfort her... at least someone would be alive for that. He didn't share that particular unhappy thought with him. He squeezed Jacob to the verge of being uncomfortable. "Ah how I wish I could hold you as tight as I'd like and not be gentle without a care of harming your frailer body. At least it's not as frail as other humans I've held thanks to us.
"Maybe Rosemary will get that chance whenever God rids the universe of all evils. She's done it to so many other men. Then he really wouldn't want her nor would any other demon. I wonder what end of that I'd be on; the saved or those who are to be destroyed. I don't exactly repent everything." Meaning turning someone, like Rosemary, into a vampire. He wronged her by doing it, but he doesn't regret it either. He hasn't wronged a person in that way for a few centuries though.

GL returned the kiss deeply, losing himself in the moment for a short while until it ended.
"Y-yeah, you did... no big deal though. Ah, how did I enjoy it? It was..."
Galantros seemed to smile a little and blush.
"It was very different from how I usually feed, but nice. M-maybe next time we can keep you from passing out..."

BlackMN leaned against GL. Even a deeply pleasing kiss didn't wake her up much or made her feel physically better afterwords.
"I was hoping for some details, but I can wait until later or until next time," she said lazily. She still wasn't thinking entirely straight in her haziness. "I bet you're full of energy. You probably should wait a bit longer before you start feeding instead of doing it from practically the start. I didn't even notice it until I couldn't keep my form for that moment there... and I had thought it was because I was having trouble concentrating on that at all... did you want me to be covered in fur or something?"

"No, not necessarily. Not that that's a bad thing though, I mean.
I've... never gone that far before. It was, uh, heh, different. I guess I wasn't in complete control of my aura anymore after a while. I think maybe it's something I should probably experiment more with later... uhm, if you want to."
Noticing how exhausted Black was still, Galantros decided to try and experiment with something. Not sure if it would work, but seeing no harm in it, he tried using some of his basic healing skills to restore Black's energy. To his surprise, his tendrils curled up, then stretched out over Black's body, a faint blue glow pulsing from them, into her. Suddenly, she felt a little better, not nearly as drained as she once was. Not entirely 100%, but still better than what she was. GL, however, felt a bit weary, noticing that some of that blue glow had drifted off his tendrils instead of to Black.
"Huh, learning something new each day with this body. Looks like that's a new skill I'll have to refine..."

Jacob rubbed Veni's back and gave him a kiss. The vampire's embrace was a little too tight, but he didn't say anything, rather he beared with it, appreciating and loving the attention instead.
"Nor do I repent everything I have done either in my life, I think. I think what matters is that we try to repent for what we can, and do the best we are able. From what I know, none of us are supposed to be perfect beings... though my beautiful vampires come close... Only one being is supposed to really have that right and privilage.
"It's an important matter, I know, but let's try to change the subject and focus on something else for now. Are you still having some slight problems with that minor golem spell I've been teaching you?"

"You're too sweet," said Veni giving Jacob's pulse a slightly hungry kiss, "and wonderful. You think too highly of me, but spot on for Rosemary."
He pulledaway from Jacob when he asked about his golems. "I suppose I could demonstrate so you can see for yourself."
They went outside, Veni knelt, and muttered some words Jacob had taught him. He had a lovely red glowing eye effect and a little creature formed. However he couldn't get it as big as it needed to be without it crumbling, so he still had to settle for a smaller less easy to control version. It didn't move very gracefully when Veni tried to concentrate on getting it to move. However it mimicked Veni's movements beautifully.
Jacob suddenly felt like his movements were restricted and the golem stopped mimicking Veni who had his hands held out in front of him like some puppet master and leaped and vanished into the shadows. "I've been doing pretty well with this though."
He had the golem and Jacob do a little bout for a few moments using this technique of control. He tugged on Jacob's strings and sent him flying towards a wall, but Veni came out of hiding before this happened and caught his master and kissed his cheek. "The problem with grabbing someone like you is that you can still cast spells that don't require any specific gestures. Need to have that anti-magic field of Cian's... I wonder when he'll be back as his honeymoon has lasted much longer than he said it would. Won't they be surprised when they figure out what's going on between the three of us. Now if I could remember to put this into practical use..."
----------
BlackMN looked better, but had him pick her up anyways.
"I know you did. You could probably lose control of it and let it do what it wants, but have it hold back on the feeding for a little while. You were so cute when you began to," and she kissed his cheek to his neck and repeated his words in between kisses, "I love you... I want you... I need you. Just call me a lab rat and test on me later. But for now, we really shouldn't keep Rosemary waiting too long..."
Once Rosemary was done and they all were gathered, she verbally explained to them how she thought they should surprise GL's cousins and celebrate x-mas at their house since they are unable to leave it easily and celebrate with family and friends. Mentally though she told them that they stumbled onto a few of Heeghs demons that doesn't appear to be totally evil and since they tend to show up at this place for some reason, she thought it would be a good idea to be absent for a while in case he comes looking for them.
When they were all ready they left and then she left them for the heavens and looked for Thas to share what she knows of the girl, what Heegh has been doing to her, and her own concerns.

Galantros blushed yet again, but held Black close to him as he gave her a piggy back ride, pressing his tendrils tightly against her to embrace her against his body. He carried her suitcase for her.
One quick dimensional portal later, and they were all at the Soul Fortress. Galantros left briefly to get some better clothes of his own from his own house since he was still in his pajamas. While the place was soothing and relaxing, there wasn't very many christmas decorations up... so the reaper had also returned with some to decorate the plantlife and halls wiith.
Meanwhile in Heaven, Rosemary came across Thas, who seemed to be instructing some minor or new angels. He excused himself from the group when Rosemary drew near.
Thas: "Rosemary, what can I do for you?"

Rosemary smirked a little and asked him before she went into the topic she really wanted to speak to him of, "Why haven't you asked me to attend such a lecture? I don't recall ever receiving much instruction."

Thas gave a bit of a smile.
"I only started my lessons and lectures to newcomers today. There is not much I would be able to tell you that you wouldn't already know by now. Weak points of common demons, reminders to practice your abilities, that sort of thing."
Upon hearing about their current situation with Adira, Thas shook his hooded head, his energy wing tendrils seeming to shift uneasily.
"Lucifer at the very least had some moderate amount of respect for his more powerful demons. Dieamos was one such example... even though he could have easily made the Abomination bow down to his whims, he worked with the demon instead of using him like a disposable tool. Morningstar may have rebelled against Heaven, but I'm sure if he hadn't, Heegh would have done the same.
At any rate, I find your concerns to be very realistic. I'll try and see if I can get some of the higher ups to allow me to send some angels for your cause, to protect both home and your loved ones."
- - - - -
Jacob only had a slight moment of panic when he saw himself rushing towards the wall, but was reassured when he found himself in Veni's grasp and was kissed.
Jacob gave a little sigh and returned the kiss, sliding an arm around Veni as he talked.
"You just need practice with the golem, that's all. Yes, I think Cian and Daphne will be very surprised when they find out about us. As for using that spell for practical uses, well.. it sort of helps to use it often for minor tasks. There's of course the danger of using magic needlessly for practical and simple things, like I do sometimes still. Like when I levitate papers towards me."
Feeling playful, the necromancer traced a line along the back of Veni's neck, using just a touch of his necrotic energies to enhance the sensation. He would only grin when Veni would turn to look at him.

"Thank you. Even if no one or hardly anyone comes I can at least protect one of them... Look at how many angels fell with Heegh! A third of the stars fell from the sky at the hand of the great dragon... the old one was more cunning... I doubt nearly that many would have fallen if Heegh was the original instigator and... Morningstar? If he hadn't become overly proud of himself and tried after Heegh would have fallen. Or am I reading my history lessons wrong as it seems that I have to read that to find out anything?
---------
"Look at how often I use some of my other abilities that I use for minor tasks in actual fights. I've never had to use them for that purpose before so I often don't think of it."
Veni shivered and looked at Jacob, leaning in as if he was going to kiss him. "Do you want me to drop you? I could and catch you before you'd hit the ground."
