Paige had assumed the role of Mercedes protector,she had failed her in life she would not in death.So she told Chantel to wait for her in the Living room while she prepared the guest bedroom.She made sure no light could enter the room and then she went and got Mercedes showed the room to her.Mercedes looked and understanding passed between them. Paige would protect Mercedes with her life during the day and rest at night ,Mercedes would protect Paige at night and rest during the day, nothing would change they were together again yet seperated.Days passed and no sign of Marie. Mercedes knew she was there but never really saw her, One night Mercedes was about to leave and a knock came to the door Paige was on her way to bed to rest for the evening and ran to get it.
          It Was Marie. Paige called to Mercedes and told her her friend was here.Mercedes only knew one that would come over to see her this late she rushed shouting ."Tell her I  will comeout..," As she got to the hallway she saw Marie standing inside the doorway."Umm I was just coming" Marie looked at Mercedes and smiled "No need my childe I have a mission tonight and we need to talk all of us" , she motioned to Paige for her to join Mercedes. She walked to the living room as if she had been here many times before,"It is good of you to come Marie, But Paige was on her way to bed","Nonsense I am glad to meet you my name is Paige Marie Jean-LaVeau and you are?"At this Mercedes said"MarieC...",  Marie interrupted and  said sweetly," No need to pretend my childe she knows who I am, do you not? , you sense my age what I am , My name is Marie LaVaeu." At this Paige gasped and slowly shook her head side to side in disbelief. Mercedes had no idea what she was doing but she took up a space in between Paige and Marie, she wanted distance between them,Paige knew things but doubtful that she could handle someone that reportedly died in 1881, but  Mercedes  would give it her all for her sister,but Marie just took a seat on the couch as if she hadn't notice Mercedes movement.Paige went over to the Loveseat on the opposite side of the table and sat. Mercedes joined her , it was like a mexican standoff ,The ancient Vampyre on onside the little fledgling on the other with her human sister.Marie seemed not to notice or care she talked smoothly and in that same quiet voice she had used with Mercedes when she talked with her.Paige seemed hypnotized by her words and after what seemed hours of talk said ,"Chanta, I am thirsty please get me a drink". Mercedes got up and headed for the kitchen she was halfway there when she realized Paige had said "Chanta".She turned just in time to see the liquid movement of Marie toward Paige ,It seemed that now was the time that all Mercedes great speed she had learned decided to fail her.
