�I�m Nick,� the blonde guy said.  �It�s a true pleasure seeing your eyes once again.�  I just looked at him.  �What do you mean again/� I asked myself.
�Exactly what he means,� Kevin broke in my thoughts.
�I�m Kevin.  I�m glad you�re here.  We have a great many things to talk about.�  I just nodded my head.  My eyes roamed over his body.  Again, black leather pants, a black shirt and black shoes.  His black hair and green eyes stood out.  His only accessory was a silver chain around his neck.
�Theresa, I�m Brian.�  He came over to me and looked me in the eyes.  �We�re very glad you�re back.  We�ve missed you, in more ways than one.�  He gently kissed my cheek.  I looked him over as he walked back towards the group.  Blue eyes, dirty blonde hair, two silver hoop earrings.  Black shoes, leather pants, black wife beater, and a black leather jacket.
�You�re missing one,� my voice spoke.
�He�s busy,� Alex said.
�Of course he is.  Isn�t he always?�
�True.  Do you need to go home Darling?� Kevin asked me.  I lost my thought, not even remembering where I was going.
�Baby, are  you okay?� Kev asked me.  �Who are they?�  Kev wrapped his arms around my waist and Brian raised an eyebrow.
�I�m fine.  They�re friends.  Is your car okay?� I said, not looking at him, but looking at Brian.
�Yeah.  Come on babe.� 
�Sure.  Let me say bye.�
�Are you okay.�
�Mm-hmm.�  He kissed my cheek and walked back to his car.
�Who is that?� Nick asked.
�Someone.  I�ll see you around.�  I shook my head and quickly walked back to the car.  I climbed in and within� moments we were home. 
�Who were they?�
�Just some people I met a while ago.  Nothing big baby.  Come on, I�m so tried.  Sleep is sounding good.�

I tossed and turned, my mind not letting me sleep for one simple moment.  I stared at the wall, thinking it was a movie screen and it replying what happened.  I closed my eyes, wishing it all away.  But it just didn�t want to.  I climbed out of bed and walked into the kitchen.  I made myself some coffee and sat down at the table.  I rubbed my eyes an just laid my head on the table.  I felt some heat on my cheek and looked up to see Kevin standing there.
�You wanted some of this?�
�Thanks.�  I took the cup and took a sip.
�Thought you didn�t like coffee?�
�I don�t, but I need sleep.  It puts me to sleep.�
�Are you going to be okay?�
�At some point in time, I will.  It�s just going to take time.�
�I�m here if you need me Resa.�
�I know babe, thank you.�  He smiled and leaned over and gave me a kiss.  I watched him get up and walk back to the room.  I sighed and finished my coffee.  I got up and put the mug in the sink and looked outside.  I noticed the gate was open.  I opened the door and walked outside.  I closed and locked the gate.  I started walking back to the house.  Without thinking, I walked faster and slipped on a tree trunk.  I didn�t get the chance to scream before my head hit a rock.

I woke up briefly and looked around me.  My head was killing me and my mind was spinning.  I felt the mark on my neck and sighed.  I had finally taken my mother�s place.
�Good morning darling.�  I turned my head and saw Howie walk in.
�Good morning my lord.�
�How are you feeling?�
�My head is pounding and my mind is spinning.�
�Only natural.  Don�t worry, the feeling will go away.  You actually get used to it.  Would you like something to eat?�
�Yes, please my lord.�  He nodded his head and leaned down and kissed my forehead.  I smiled and watched him walk away.  A few minutes later, he came back in with a tray.  He set it on my lap and I started eating.  After I finished, he took the tray away and came back.
�Are you ready to go out darling?�
�Of course my lord.  But I have nothing to wear.�  He leaned down and kissed my lips.
�Yes, you have tons of things to wear.�  He got up and walked over to his little closet.  Inside, there were beautiful gowns.  �You are mine Rochelle.  You shall know about lavishing things my darling.  Come, there is still much to be done.�
�Good morning Howard,� a voice rang out.
�Ah, Alexander, you finally came.�
�I wouldn�t miss the blessing for anything.�  This man walked in and stared hard at me.
�She doesn�t need the blessing.�
�How can she not?�
�She�s special.�
�Oh, I do understand Howard.�  This man just smiled at me.  �My lady, our host is just very rude.  My name is Alexander.�  He bent down and kissed my hand.
�I�m Rochelle, my lord.�

�Oh, mannered as well.  You truly are unique my lady.�
�Thank you my lord.�
�Dear Alexander, do please tell me where Nickolas, Brian and Kevin do plan on showing up?�
�We were called,�  a blonde man called out.
�Nickolas, Brian, Kevin, please met Rochelle.�
�How do you do Rochelle?� Nickolas asked.
�Very well my lord.�
�Good day, Rochelle,� Brian said.
�Good day.�  I smiled and nodded my head.
�My lady, you know you have a beautiful smile.�  I blushed and smiled.
�Thank you my lord.�  He smiled and kissed my hand.
�I hope to get to know you better,� his thoughts ran into mine.
