Both Daylen and Raymon looked at Contessa. "Stay out of this child this does not concern you." The oldest of the Elders told Contessa. "She is still to be my wife. You have no right to exclude her from any business you old fools have with me." He told them bluntly. They weren't here to harass him to take their apprenticeship, they wanted him to cure himself so he could be human Raymon just walked over to Contessa and whispered to her. "They want him to cure himself so he will be a plain human. He is more powerful as a vampire then he was a sorcerer due to his newest weather ability. Drinking blood will permanently lock him as a vampire and secure his power." He told her sweetly. It was why he was improperly dressed. He was going to let Daylen drink from him to lock his new found power and spite to Elders once more. Raymon also hated them so he would gladly give his blood.

Contessa glared at the elders and nodded when she heard what Raymon had said to her. "I see. Well it does concern me, you have no right to come in here and tell Daylen what he is to do. He is to do as he pleases, he is not supposed to please any of you." Contessa replied seriously. "I for one will support him in whatever decision he makes." she said and looked at Daylen, she was still pretty shaken with the storm outside. "Daylen, you choose whatever you want, I'll be happy either way." she said and wondered if he'd choose to be a human so that he wouldn't scare her anymore. She hoped he remained a vampire, she just wanted him to be happy. She felt pretty stupid for her random outburst, but it was bound to happen when she didn't educate herself on what was going on exactly.

Daylen just looked at Contessa. He liked how she was standing up to them. He folded his arms over his chest as Raymon just walked over to him. The Elders just looked from Contessa to Daylen, it seemed all youth were defiance these days. Raymon just tilted his head lightly to the right. "Bite me." He told Daylen, who just looked at him weird. He looked at Contessa he didn't want to frighten her anymore. He knew the storm was scaring her. That was why she was crying but he couldn't let Sirus' death and his promise go so easily. He didn't want her to see this but it seemed he had little choice in the matter. He looked at Raymon, who was making it more awkward by smiling sweetly. Daylen just cursed before grabbing Raymon and sinking his fangs into his neck. The Elders just gasped in shock, they didn't think he would willing drink blood. He never liked hurting people, less of all in front of a woman.

Contessa smiled weakly at Daylen when he looked at her, she was more than happy to defend him. Her eyes then looked at the elders, the same weak smile on her face. When she heard Raymon speak, she looked over at Daylen and sniffled. "It's o-okay Daylen. D-don't worry about me." she whispered and nodded approvingly. She knew he didn't want to scare her anymore, so when he moved to bite Raymon, Contessa quickly looked away but continued to smile weakly. No matter what, she'd stand by him. Judging by the gasp from the elders, Daylen had already bit Raymon. This was probably the first time he ever bit anyone and she wondered if it hurt to be bit.

Letting go of Raymon, Daylen just covered his mouth and took several steps back. Raymon just held his neck and smiled sweetly once more. He was weak from the amount of blood he just lost and had to lean against to wall so he didn't fall. Although Daylen did control himself very well for the first actually feeding. "Get out of my house and never step foot in here again." Daylen calmly spoke to the Elders who just left in anger. Once they were out of sight Raymon spoke. "Not to be weird Sir, but that actually felt pleasurable." Daylen just looked at Raymon weirdly. "What is wrong with you?" Raymon just shook his head lightly. "Only meant that you controlled yourself well enough to not cause pain, instead had the opposite effect." Daylen just felt awkward after Raymon's words. He didn't even know how to address his weird butler.

Contessa shivered once the elders left and hesitantly looked up at both Raymon and Daylen. "Oh dear, perhaps you should drink some water Raymon?" she suggested and hugged herself as she looked at Daylen who looked shoked at what he had done. "D-Daylen are you okay? D-Do you need a-anything?" she asked him worriedly. Maybe he would want to talk now? Or maybe he would hide himself away again. If that was the case, she would make sure Raymon was okay before following Daylen.

Raymon just kept on his smile. "I will be fine with a little rest." He told her standing up straight. He took his jacket and placed it back on. Daylen could still taste Raymon's blood, it was actually very sweet. He liked it allot better then the substitute blood, he didn't like that. His eyes were still red from a mixture of just feeding on real blood and anger. He just nodded to Contessa to let her know he was fine. He didn't need anything, he just felt allot more refreshed from drinking Raymon's blood. "You should try that Miss Contessa. It was actually nice, just a little painful at the beginning but faded into pleasure." Raymon assured her it wasn't bad at all. Daylen just glared at his butler. Suriously, what was wrong with him? "I think your old age is turning you into a masochist." Daylen told Raymon plainly, still he was hiding his mouth with one hand and trying to clean it with the other.

Contessa only chuckled softly and shook her head. "Daylen would never bite me, he said so. He wouldn't bite me even if I asked him to." she replied and looked at Daylen once more. "Please relax Daylen, they're g-gone now. They w-won't be coming back and if they do s-show up tomorrow we can ignore them right? Or m-maybe w-we can ask them to leave" she suggested. Contessa was just trying to get him to relax so that the scary storm could disappear. What could she do or say to help him relax or cheer him up? She was scared, she didn't want to say anything that would possibly upset him.

Raymon just shrugged lightly. "The look on his face tells me he rather liked it." He smoothed his jacket as Daylen glared at him. "As you can see by the glare. I'm telling his secret. He doesn't like the idea of feeding from the living but he rather enjoyed it. If he continues with his tonics and substitute blood then he will remain gentle and in control." Raymon told her softly. "As for the Elder's, they will not return after that display." He finished adjusting himself. Daylen just looked at Raymon before turning to go back to his study. His hands were no longer hiding his mouth. He had cleaned all the blood off. Raymon was right about everything. He enjoys drinking the fresh blood and biting into the vein, he didn't like that he did. Raymon just weakly looked at Contessa. "He can not control the weather yet, he has the ability but he does not understand the triggers." He told her. He knew what she was up too.

Contessa sighed in defeat as she watched Daylen leave back to his study. "So this is his most recent ability?" she asked and nodded. "I understand. I...I think I should go drop Carolyn back off at home. Or perhaps I should just sit in silence somewhere." she muttered to herself. She wasn't having a good day today, and the fact that Daylen looked upset didn't make it any better. What was married life going to be like if he kept shying away from her? It didn't matter, it never did, she wasn't going to force him to do anything he didn't want to. She honestly felt sick to her stomach at the moment and she didn't know why, maybe it was because of what Raymon had said about the biting incident.

Raymon just nodded softly. "You are always welcomed back here. Daylen is slightly better now that your back. However you have a wedding to prepare for. It might be wise for you to get everything ready." He told her sweetly. "If I'm not mistaken. You will be walking down the aisle." He smiled his sweet one. "Daylen already have everything ready over here, he is allowed to goof off. However I'm sure the bride can never rest until after the wedding." He told her trying to make her feel a little bit better. Though he was probably failing. Who would want to be married to a grumpy vampire like Daylen. Although on his defence he was a newly turned vampire and just tasted his first victim.

"I don't think I will be able to rest even after the wedding." she confessed and sighed softly. "I think I have everything ready, except the vows. I'm not sure what to say. I don't want to upset him in any way." she explained. At least someone was talking to her. It was good to know that Daylen had everything set up on his end though, at least he could relax a bit. Was he even looking forward to tomorrow? "I still don't know what will happen to my hair, my mum won't tell me." she added sadly. Today was not a good day at all. "Is he really better with me here?" she asked sadly, it really didn't seem like it even though he spoke a little bit.

Raymon just raised an eyebrow. "All you need to do is say, I do. You don't know each other well enough for personal vows." He told her in his sweet tone. He just nodded to her question about Daylen. "He has been doing better. He is at least speaking now." He touched his neck lightly. It didn't hurt just felt weird to him after the event that played out. He was tired but he could carry on the conversation with Contessa. He smiled softly to her. "I'm sure everything will be fine. He is still going through a harsh time." He pointed to the ceiling, the storm had died down while they spoke. "He is calm again." His smile grew slightly brighter.

"I can easily say that, but does he want to say that?" Contessa asked. She knew Daylen wanted to try this out, but was he just saying that to make her feel better? "Oh I don't know what to think anymore, I need to go. Thank-you for talking with me, at least someone did." she said and smiled weakly before running back to the room where she had left no name and Carolyn. Walking into the room, she looked at Rosa and then at Carolyn. "Thank-you...for looking after them Rosa." Contessa thanked and picked up the back, slinging it across her shoulder then took Carolyn into her arm and carried the crate with no name in it with her free hand. "We must be going now before my mum and dad start to worry. I will see you tomorrow, thanks again." Contessa said and let out a shakey breath as she closed and imagined their home and wiggled her nose, disappearing instantly.

Raymon just nodded, though he was sure she didn't see it. She left to quickly, debating on Daylen's true answer. Rosa just nodded to Contessa. She missed little children around the house but she never got to talk to Contessa before she disappeared. Rosa just looked at Raymon who followed Contessa into the room. "She was debating on if Daylen really wanted to say 'I do' tomorrow." He told her and she just nodded in understandment. Daylen was distant right now but his feelings were true. He did like Contessa and one day it would grow into love. He was trying to be open with her before the death of his brother, however it undone allot of the work Contessa had done on her son. She would have to talk to Daylen again. See if he would open up again.

"Dad, Mum we're back!" Contessa called into the house as she walked over to the stairs. "Oh sweetheart there you are! Your mother was worried." Edwards said as he walked down the stairs, his wife following behind. "You were at Daylen's house?" she asked. "Yes mum. He doesn't seem to want to talk again, he's very retreated and I"m extremely tired, emotionally." she explained as she handed Carolyn to her mother and the bag to her father. "What do you mean Contessa?" Grace asked. It was then that Contessa explained to her parents all that had happened that day and frowned. "Oh dear, I'm sorry sweetheart. As you can see, the storm is gone though so it's okay. And besides, I'm sure he wants to marry you, who wouldn't?" her father commented. "Oh dad, I just wish he would talk to me like he used to...even then he didn't talk much but I really felt like we were opening up to each other. The elders threw it all away with their rude blackmail and now Daylen is back to his old self. I'm worried that when we do get married we won't really feel like husband and wife. Just like two strangers who live together." Contessa explained. "Sweetie you're just really stressed out is all. Give Daylen some time, he's going through a lot and who knows how long it will take for him to open up again. You have to be patient with him and be there of him every step of the way. Even though he doesn't say anything, I'm sure he appreciates all you do for him. Don't give up on him Contessa, he hasn't given up on you." her mother explained softly. Contessa's father nodded in agreement to his wife's words. "Your mother is right Contessa. He won't change overnight, and I hope you don't expect him to. Now everyone to bed, tomorrow is a very big and busy day for all of us." Edward reminded.

Daylen just played with his left cufflink, he had left after cleaning up and while Contessa was still sleeping. Their wedding night was very awkward to him. Thankfully the Elders never placed a foot in their house. They never showed up at the wedding either, he was guessing they finally got the picture, though he wouldn't hold his breath on that thought. He sat in his study, he thought the wedding was beautiful. He smiled softly picturing Contessa in her dress. She looked very beautiful, though he only told her a few times that she looked beautiful. She probably didn't believe him. Not with how he had been acting the day before the wedding. There were times the sun peeked out and burnt part of him to a crisp from his excitement but he quickly hid in the shadows to avoid it. He couldn't believe it, he was actually now a married man.

Contessa groaned as she finally woke up after sleeping for who knows how long. Looking around the room, the events of last night flooded her mind and a blush came to her face. It had been uncomfortable for the both of them, but it was over now so there was no need to think about it now. Carefully, she climbed out of bed, wincing slightly and walked straight to the bathroom where she took a shower and cleaned up. After her shower, she dried off, got dressed and decided to tend the bed neatly. She stared at it and sighed softly, she was married now and she was happy, just was unsure as to how it would unfold. "Maybe you should change the sheets. Or perhaps you should make some breakfast for you and your husband, I'm sure he's hungry and you could use some food and tea yourself. No name also needs to drink milk you know. Maybe after all that you can change the sheets and do the laundry too. Then check on your plants." she said to herself tiredly. Picking up their clothes off the floor she quickly headed out too the laundry room and tossed the dirty laundry in the basket then yawned as she walked into the kitchen and began to look around for the ingredients for the breakfast she would make.

Daylen just sighed lightly filling out papers. He had a lot of work to do, he had filled out most before the wedding but now it was time to sign, file and send them in. Raymon was with him in the study. He had bought him a glass of substitute blood to satisfy the craving. "This one needs Miss Contessa's signature." Raymon said placing one of the papers in a pile that required her signature. Daylen just drank the substitute blood slowly as they filled out the papers. His study was dark and lit with candles like it had been for the last week. The ones the didn't need her signature daylen handed them to Raymon. He stacked them neatly so he could take care of them later, after Contessa signed the ones she was required too.

"Oh! I forgot to bring no name!" she gasped and quickly ran back to the room and picked up the crate, glad to see he was still there, crying but still there. "Sorry little guy, I got so caught up in everything else. Let's go." Contessa said and quickly walked back to the kitchen where she placed the crate down on a chair and went back to making breakfast. She wasn't sure what Daylen liked for breakfast but she really didn't want to eat too much right now. She decided on making scrambled eggs with turkey bacon and some diced bell peppers. She was going to make breakfast burritos and a cup of very sweet coffee for Daylen while making herself a cup of plain lemon tea. "I'll warm up some milk for you in a bit no name, just give me a few minutes to finish up breakfast okay?" Contessa explained to her little pet who was still crying out every now and then.

Raymon and Daylen where just filling out the papers in silence. Daylen just signed and set the papers aside for Contessa. He was setting everything up for her in case if anything happened to him and giving her own account for spending money with a extremely large sum. He wouldn't even bother with the inheritance for producing an heir, it made him feel like a jerk. Like he only wanted her for a male child, that part he didn't agree with. He didn't want to continue that tradition and he simply wouldn't. "Is that it?" Daylen asked surprised that it wasn't actually that much. Raymon just nodded. "We only need Miss Contessa's signatures on these and I can go to the bank and have them notarized." Daylen just nodded before standing up. He was going to get another glass but then remembered he couldn't set foot in the kitchen until the sun set. Raymon just nodded to his master before taking the glass to refill it for him.

Two plates were set on the counter, each with two pieces of toast and one hot breakfast burrito. She had even added melted cheese to the mix. She grabbed two cups and heated up some water for both the tea and the coffee. While she waited for that, she started adding the spoonfuls of sugar to Daylen's coffee cup and sighed, she still was tired despite all the sleep she had gotten. When the water was ready, she poured it carefully into the two cups and stirred Daylen's coffee gently, making sure all the sugar dissolved before pouring some milk into a bowl and warming it up for no name. "Okay, I think that's everything. I think..." she said to herself and placed the spoon she used for stirring into the sink before picking up Daylen's food and coffee and headed over to his study, knocking on the door with her elbow. "I b-brought you coffee and breakfast." She said to the door, hoping he was up to actually eat something.

Raymon just opened the door just in time to see Contessa with a plate of food and coffee. It was cute she was trying to feed him, however being a vampire he didn't eat food; he could but he didn't. He smiled softly to her and held the door open for her. "Good morning Miss Contessa, did you sleep well?" He still had his reading glasses on as he spoke. Daylen just looked at Contessa and Raymon before going back to his papers. He was working on the last part of the will. Being married to her it was only fair if something happened to him, she was to get everything he accomplished and worked for. Good thing is he didn't need her to sign or even see it. She would probably fight it. Daylen just continued to finished the sentence before placing the paper into his desk.

"Sleep well?" she repeated and thought about it. "I think so....although I still feel slightly tired for some reason." she answered. "I...you don't have to eat all of it. I didn't know what you would like to eat..if you don't finish it I'm sure I can eat it all." Contessa added with a nervous smile on her face. "Oh, and I made you coffee just the way you like it, a lot of sugar." she commented and noticed all the paperwork that Daylen was filing. "What's all this?" she asked curiously, wondering if he was tiking some notes for another project of his. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything?" she said finally after a while of silence. "Oh...d-did you both s-sleep well too?" she asked nervously.

Raymon just smiled sweetly, he would hand it to her. She was trying. He could see why Daylen at one point was coming out of his shell for her. Daylen just weakly smiled at Contessa. He wasn't sure if he could tell her that he stopped eating altogether and didn't need coffee anymore. "Thank you." He softly said to her, he would drink it anyways for her. He personally slept well despite the awkward event that took place. Remembering it he slightly blushed, it was rather uncomfortable moment for him. Raymon just nodded softly. "I did, thank you for asking. Hopefully tonight you can get all the rest you need. Perhaps a nap later will do you some good." He excused himself to refill Daylen's glass. After Raymon was gone Daylen looked at the papers. "Just setting up an account for you so you have spending money, things similar to that. You're not interrupting anything. In fact I actually need your signature on these forms right here." He gathered the forms he needed her to sign and motioned her to sit where Raymon was earlier. He wouldn't tell her about the will he was making currently. "There is nothing about the an inheritance upon a birth of a heir. That's a tradition I rather not follow." He told her softly. He was rather talkative today, maybe from all the work he needed to finish now that they were married.
