Bloody dreams of you

@ Jinx...

Thibault pulled her closer, keeping his arms securely around her as he leaned down go kiss her. "I wouldnt let anything happen to you. Some vampires just take who or what they want, but this place has rules, and as long as I'm there nothing will happen to you." He reassured her, stroking her hair gently. "We can also head home if you'd prefer."

---

Rosemarie blushed and giggled as he nipped at her shoulder, sitting up to pull on the clothes he had brought her before standing and moving over to him, taking his hands in hers. "If it's ok with you, maybe later we could dance again..?" She asked softly, looking up at him.

@ katahdin
Cassia shook her head. "No I want to share your world with you, as well with the rest of the world." she said and leaned up kissing him gently. "Besides I really am glad to be out of the house tonight." she said and smiled leaning her forehead to his. She bit her bottom lip and giggled. "I don't know why I am so nervous and excited at the same time." she admitted and slipped off his lap holding his hand her fingers linked with his.

---

Zane grinned. "Anytime you want my love." he kissed her hand and lead her down to the kitchen. "What would you like to eat?" he asked her and sat that the breakfast nook with her sipping at the drink that was handed to him. He grinned at his beautiful bride.

@ Jinx...

Thibault nodded, pressing a kiss to her lips as he stood. "So, you want to go..?" He asked softly, brushing her hair from her eyes as he leaned down to kiss her, smiling a little. "It's been a while since I've been there, but I'm sure they'll remember, and be happy to welcome you."

---

Rosemarie smiled, taking a seat across from him in the nook, looking around the kitchen. "Hmm.. Could I have pancakes? But if that's too much to do, I'm happy with just yogurt or cereal or something."

@ katahdin
Cassia smiled and nodded. She trusted Thibault, if he said it was safe for her she believed it completely. She grinned as he kissed her tenderly. "I think you are probably hard to forget." she said and bit her lip. "How long ago did you go there? Where you different then than you are now?" she asked suddenly curious and sprouting out questions.

---

Zane grinned and nodded. "No problem the cooks are happy to make anything you like." he said and looked over seeing them already getting started. "Anything else?" he asked her grinning. Zane was glad she was hungry. He knew her life had been transformed so quickly but to him it seemed important to focus on the positives.

@ Jinx...

Thibault chuckled a little, smiling as he kissed her once more before slowly heading down the street. "I don't know.. Probably at least a few hundred years. It's been a long time." He shrugged a little, holding onto her hand. "I don't know if I was different.. It's hard to tell how you change over time, even when you're a vampire and live for hundreds of years." He explained.

---

Rosemarie hummed a little in thought before shaking her head. "No, just pancakes for me." She smiled, leaning across the table to press a kiss to his cheek. "I don't want to spoil lunch and dinner." She said, taking a few sips of the drink that was brought to her while she looked around the kitchen.

@ katahdin
Cassia smiled and nodded. She couldn't imagine being alive, or rather existing for hundreds of years. She walked with him enjoying the night air as they went looking around trying to pay attention to where they were going but really just wanted to watch Thibault so it was difficult. "What do you like about this place? Do you think it has changed much?"

---

Zane chuckled and kissed her head as the chefs set her food in front of her a little later. Zane watched Rosemarie and seemed to forget his entire plain fo the day. all he wanted was to experience life with her. It seemed they where going to have a test of their new bond here soon. He was glad she was bonded to him though it would make things a bit easier with the council meeting. They might even excuse him from this little fight because of his new bond.

@ Jinx...

Thibault held her close, slowing down once they got closer to the building before stopping in front of the entrance. "Its just nice to be able to be around other vampires sometimes... It's nice to have someone to talk to who understands what it's like, you know?" He shrugged, leaning down to kiss her deeply. "Are you sure you want to go in? If you're uncomfortable we can leave, I wont force you to do anything, and some of the people here are into... interesting things."

---

Rosemarie smiled, digging into her pancakes once they were brought. She ate mostly in silence, able to tell that he was thinking about something and she didn't want to disturb his thoughts. "So.. Where is it we are going?" She asked after a while, unsure about the whole counsel thing.

@ katahdin
Cassia nodded though honestly there had never been anyone like her around for her to talk to. she could talk to Madeline but that wasn't the same as if she knew. Cassia smiled against his lips clinging to him and kissing him back as he kissed her. She giggled as he pulled back. She looked up at him and nodded softly. "Thank you for always looking out for me Thibault but yes I would like to go in. I am a curious one Thibault now I have to know." she said and wrapped her arms around his neck on her tip toes. She kissed him again then stun away grabbing his hand and tugging him towards the door stopping before she went in to let him lead the way.

---

Zane smiled as she broke his thought glad she had. He nodded thinking about it. "Well the council meet in a different iconic place every millennia or so just to keep the secrete secure. Having that many vampires in one place, even more civilized ones, than newborns is dangerous for detection. If you think about it all the lore on vampires was either the newborns or the council meeting that was meant to talk about those newborns." he chuckled and sat back sighing. "Let's see that means we will be meeting in Egypt." he laughed. "Not the place you would think of for vampires I know."

@ Jinx...

Thibault nodded, pressing one more kiss to her lips before leading her inside of the club. It was dark inside, useful for keeping out unwanted sunlight, and the entrance was more like a hotel lobby than the entrance of a club. They were greeted by a few women by the door, a young man standing behind the counter, who smiled when he spotted Thibault. "Welcome back, Mister Bassot. It's a pleasure to see you again. And who is this with you?" He asked, looking at Cassia curiously.

---

Rosemarie hummed a little as she listened to him speak, finishing her pancakes. Her eyes widened when he mentioned where they were going, looking at him in surprise. "Really? Egypt? That's amazing.. But, it's really sunny there, isn't that dangerous?" She asked with a frown.

@ katahdin
Cassia walked in with Thibault looking around as they went. It was hard to see in here for her but it didn't stop her from looking. She turned when she heard someone speak and could make out the shadow of a man and some stunning women with bright colorful hair and predator like smiles. She bit her lip and turned into Thibault holding onto his arm looking up at him as the man looked at her wondering who she was. She wondered what Thibault would tell him.

---

Zane chuckled and nodded. "Yes it is dangerous but luckily it is winter over there so night lasts longer so that is helpful. Besides there are many places to be indoors at no a days." he smiled at her. "You will probably want to explore while we are there yes? I will bring your chamber maid to go with you during the day, she will keep you safe from the supernatural at least." he winked at her. "Is there anything you want to do before we get on the plane later?"

@ Jinx...

Thibault smiled kindly at the man, gladly shaking his hand. "Hello, Peter. It's good to see you as well. This is my bond, Cassia." He said, wrapping an arm securely around the young girl, keeping her close while the man, Peter, grinned. "Its a pleasure to meet you, little one. So, Mr. Bassot, is there any particular reason you've decided to visit us today?" He asked. Thibault glanced down toward Cassia before looking back at him. "We wanted to try something more.. Adventurous.. But you would have to ask Cassia for specifics."

---

Rosemarie pouted a little, moving to sit in his lap once she'd finished her meal. "But I'd rather explore with you.. I dont want to be apart from you." She murmured, pressing a small kiss to his lips before shaking her head. "I dont know what to do.. when do we have to leave?"

@ katahdin
Cassia smiled as Thibault talked about her to the man. She could tell even still they all say her as prey. "I don't know what I would like to do. Can we just go in and look around?" she asked softly. Cassia looked from Peter to Thibault. She smiled gently at him glad his arms where securing her. She had no idea what his world looked like so how was she suppose to choose? Cassia was really surprised there was so many questions. She was thinking it would have been they would walk in and look around and experience. Cassia bit her lip gently. One of the blonds came over leaning over Peter whispering to him. Peter sighed and nodded. "Very well. Please Mr. Bassot keep your bond close and enjoy your time." he said and they where escorted by the little blond through the red velvet curtain just behind Peter.

---

Zane frowned. "I will be working Rosemarie I won't be able to show you as much if you don't go during the day." he took her hand kissing her head. "But if you want to stay with me you can. I won't deny you that." he said and smiled softly. "We leave an hour before daybreak. That will give us just enough time to get to the plane. I will need to be sealed up so I won't be able to sleep with you." he said softly knowing she didn't want to be in a small space but for traveling he had no choice on such short notice.

@ Jinx...

Thibault nodded, thanking Peter as they were led inside, gladly taking a glass of wine when it was offered to him, taking a long sip as he kept his arm tight around Cassia. Scattered throughout the club were various tables where vampires sat, either chatting with other vampires or with humans, who were also wandering around serving vampires drinks. There were also people dancing off on the dance floor, and occasionally a pair or two would break off down a hallway, leading to somewhere marked "Private Rooms." Thibault smiled down at Cassia, leaning down to press a kiss to her cheek. "What would you like to do?"

---

Rosemarie frowned worriedly when he said that he had to be sealed up, squeezing his hands tightly in concern. "What..? But I don't want to be without you.." She pouted, concerned that something would happen while he was sealed up, especially considering that they were going somewhere filled with such dangerous people.

@ katahdin
Cassia looked around wondering what happened in those private rooms. From what they where saying up stairs it sounded like more than just normal sex. She looked around and bit her lip surprised not to see more people feeding off one another honestly. Maybe it was done for the human's benefit. Cassia smiled as Thibault. "Let's dance." she said not really feeling like drinking right now. She was curious about this place and the best way to find anything out would be to be in the middle of it all.

---

"We will be up thousands of miles in the air where no one can get to us but the plane is not sun proof so I will need to be closed up and all I have is a traveling coffin. I wouldn't be able to do anything if you suddenly needed to get out of it in the middle of the day. It could seriously harm me. No one but the pilots will be up there and they are both human one male one female. I have vetted them and they are clean. You will be fine Rose I promise. We will land after night falls again and I will be out before the door even opens. Besides you can talk to me in the coffin anyways if you really need to." He said and gently pulled her to him. "I am sorry I can not keep you close during the flight." he said softly kissing her sweetly. "Do you think you can handle being alone for the flight?

@ Jinx...
(I could have sworn I replied, I'm so sorry!)

Thibault chuckled a little and nodded, allowing her to lead him to the dance floor. He made sure to keep his hands on her hips as they began to dance, afraid he would lose her in the crowd, and knowing that there were a lot of vampires who would enjoy having her if he let them have the opportunity. He wasn't much of a dancer, but simply swaying with her to the music, grinding his hips into hers was all he really needed to do in a club like this, ignoring as best he could when the occasional woman, both vampire and human, would come up behind him and kiss his neck or whisper things in his ear, focusing on Cassia.

---

Rosemarie frowned a little as he explained that he would have to be away from her, but she nodded reluctantly, sighing a little as she curled into his arms, pressing a kiss to his cheek. "Alright, I suppose it's fine... It won't be that long." She did her best to reassure herself, pressing a loving kiss to his lips before she stood, her skirt riding up a bit and the loose sleeves slipping from her shoulders as she moved, showing off her perfect skin that was his for the taking.

@ katahdin
(It's ok)

Cassia noticed when women would stop and admire Thibault and even try and coach him away from her. Was it common for a vampire to be so open about their relationship? She was his bond mate, did that mean nothing to them? She was very confused about it but she tried to enjoy her time with Thibault anyways. He was very protective of her and frankly she was glad because she was afraid to even really speak to anyone here. Still as time went on and people kept coming up to Thibault she needed a break. "I have to use the bathroom." she leaned into Thibault to speak to him. She bit her lip looking up at him. She knew he was doing nothing wrong he couldn't stop their admiration and she understood it but she was jealous and she didn't like the feelings.

---

Zane smiled and kissed her back tenderly. He ran his hand up her back watching as her body opened invitingly to him, even unintentionally. He growled softly in satisfaction and placed tender kisses to her neck nibbling gently. "That is right my love, and you will be asleep most the ride anyways." He said his fingers running up her bare leg his fingers tracing up as far as he could go on her silky skin. He looked her over, she was truly beautiful and he could never get enough of his bond mate. He smirked and placed a sweet kiss to her forehead. "Would you like to pick out a few books for the journey?" He asked and knew he needed a distraction before he took her and devoured her again and they had no time to do these little things that would be a comfort later.

@ Jinx...

Thibault leaned down to better hear Cassia over the music when she spoke to him, nodding a little to signal that he heard her. He took her hand and led her carefully through the crowd towards the hallway where the bathroom was located, only releasing her hand once they were outside of the door. "I'll wait here for you, ok?" Leaning down to press a reassuring kiss to her lips, wanting her to know that he wouldn't wander off.

---

Rosemarie blushed when she heard him growl, and before she knew it he had her in his arms again, and he was kissing her neck and running his fingers over her exposed skin. She shivered a little at his touch, moaning faintly as he kissed her neck before looking up at him as he asked her if she wanted some books, nodding a little as she blushed. "Yes please." Books and reading weren't really on her mind after what he had just done, but knew it was probably best to bring something with her so she wouldnt get bored during the day when he wasn't around.

@ katahdin
Cassia nodded and went into the bathroom. She sighed and looked around moving to the sink and splashed her face drying it and looking in the mirror. She never looked so young than she did tonight. She still had that glow even if she was upset. She was thinking it was something to do with the feeding. Cassia looked up as someone else walked in. She bit her lip and looked back down. "First time here?" the girl asked. Cassia looked up at her and nodded. "I am guessing that is also your beau standing guard out there?" The woman asked. Cassia blushed and smiled. "I think he's worried about me." Cassia said and bit her lip looking down. "I see," the woman began. "It can be hard with how everyone wants to share and you just came into this life." Cassia looked up at her. "How did you know?" Cassia asked. The woman chuckled. "You look so out of place. You have to be a little more assertive sweet little thing." Cassia thought about it and looked at the ring on her finger. She supposed she had questions she was afraid to ask because she was already committed but the lack of asking them was making her uncertain in their relationship. Cassia looked up at the woman as she started to wash her hands. "How do you know so much?" she asked and the woman laughed. "I was once in your shoes. You have a long road, it will be easier if you learn to talk to your beau before you start pulling away." she said and placed a hand on her shoulder. "There is so much you have yet to experience." she said before leaving the bathroom. Cassia sighed looking at herself in the mirror and decided she needed to finally confront all her worst fears with Thibault. She figured it was time to go home and talk. She walked out and looked around for Thibault.

---

Zane nodded and stood setting her down. He took her hand kissing it before leading the way to the library. Zane loved the way that he was able to affect her with little kisses and his desire. He grinned at her as they walked into the library. "What would you like to read? Romance? Adventure, History, Fiction?" he asked her softly smiling. Healed around with her as she looked at all the books. He had made arrangements already for them to have her meals on board and viable for her. They would arrive as the last rays set and he would wake and need to feed. He had extra blood on the plane so he wasn't worried about it. Traveling took a lot out of him. Zane ran his hands up her arms standing behind her as she looked. He watched her curious as to what she would pick as she looked through the books. He had so many and he hoped she would enjoy them. He had read them all at one time or another. And often he would buy new history books just to keep up to date on what was happening out in the world.

@ Jinx...

Thibault was waiting patiently for Cassia, occasionally chatting with a vampire who was also waiting for his bond in the bathroom, although he still felt and looked out of place, like he was nervous or stressed about something. He looked relieved when Cassia returned, smiling and leaning down to press a kiss to her lips, although he frowned when he noticed how serious she was. "Is something wrong?" He asked worriedly, pulling her aside so that they could talk privately if she wanted. "Are you feeling alright? Did something happen? Should we go home?"

---

Rosemarie followed him happily to the library, wandering around as she looked at the various shelves, occasionally pulling a book down to look at it closer, although she didn't always keep it. In the end she chose six or seven books, holding them in her arms as she turned around to look up at him, smiling warmly. She loved that he was being kind and letting her pick things out for herself, and she was happy to be going on this trip with him, but she was nervous, and knew that they might not get to spend a lot of time with one another while they were there, considering he would be busy and how dangerous it would be. Once she had decided on the books she wanted to bring she set them down on a table before turning back to him, her fingers tugging at his shirt as she pulled him closer, standing on her toes to press a loving kiss to her lips. "You've been so kind, Zane.. I want to return the favor. What's something you want to do? I'll do anything." She promised, kissing him again before she looked up at him, waiting for an answer.

@ katahdin
Cassia frowned as he noticed right away. She stepped into him and hurried her face in his chest hugging him. "It's not going anywhere, we can talk later if you want but I think I am ready to go home. Nothing happened and I am okay." she said. She would have to convince him to go out again another time but for now she was tired and done for tonight. Cassia sighed glad she was in his arms again. It was fun to at least go out with him. Cassia kissed his cheek and took his hand as they headed out of the club. he was so glad when they got out in the night air. The driver meet them just up the street and took them back home. Cassia sat with Thibault in the back seat cuddled into him. She sighed and closed her eyes trying to figure out how to say what needed to be said and how she would deal with what he might say.

---

Zane watched Rosemarie walk through the library taking books. He smiled as she finished picking out her books setting them down. He looked up from the book he was skimming after waiting for her. He smiled. "It's nothing really I am glad to help." he said and kissed her cheek. "Mmm I would like to pocket that favor for another time though for sure." he said and moved over to her. He pulled her closer to him and ran his hands up her arms. He leaned down and kissed her his lips brushing hers before pulling her deeper into the kiss. He was so in love with this woman. "I like hearing you say you will do anything. It is very sexy." he said really hating that he didn't have enough time to really enjoy her. Zane pulled back smiling. "Come on let's get you all ready we're leaving here in 30 minutes." he said and ran a hand through her hair gently.
