~*~Part 4~*~
As they sat in the car heading toward Thierry's mansion, Sable wondered what it could have been that was so important. She had absolutely no idea and she could tell Aaronth didn't either. Fortunately the ride wasn't that long and they soon reached the mansion. Sable looked up at the huge, imposing house (actually house is an understatement...) with black roses and wondered how it could seem so much like home, even after a few short months when she and Aaronth had originally joined Circle Daybreak. She was so happy to have found Aaronth and not only had meeting him brought her to him but also brought them to Circle Daybreak. Sable thought, and was pretty sure that Aaronth did too, that joining Circle Daybreak was one of the best things they had ever done. They had found friends and people who understood their situation.

Aaronth went to knock on the door but before he could even raise his fist, Nilsson opened the door and motioned them in quickly. "Oh, finally you are both here! I better go tell Thierry," he walks, with Sable and Aaronth following him, shouting to Thierry, "Lord Thierry! Miss Draven and Mr. Aaronth are here!" "Ok, send them in, Nilsson, thank you," Thierry said as they turned the corner into a lavishly decorated room with what looked like many ancient masterpieces and considering Thierry's age, probably were. Thierry then addressed Sable and Aaronth saying, "Good, you two are here now...that's almost everybody. We're just missing Rashel and Quinn who went to get Hannah," he said this sort of melancholy and everyone could sympathize because they all knew how hard it was being away from their soulmates. "Well, as soon as they get back, we'll start. Until then, do as you all would like, you can use any room except someone else's bedroom and my office. Also, feel free to use the pool and any of the grounds outside but please don't leave the estate. I have some work to do and shall speak with you all later," and with that he left the room.

{{Ok,}} thought Sable. {{Well, he still hasn't told us why we're here. Oh well, all in good time I guess.}} And before she could think another thing, she was busy greeting her friends she hadn't seen in months. "Hey Sabe!! How are you doing girl?" Jez Redfern asked. Sable turned in the direction of the voice, "Hey Jez, I'm great, how are you doing girl?" Sable said to her. Jez flashed a grin," I'm great." Sable smiled back and turned to hear more other people greeting her, all her friends from their special group of Circle Daybreak. They didn't have a special name for their group, but they all had one thing in common. They all had met their soulmate. There weren?t a whole lot of them...only about 20. They were in on all of the important Night World politics and were not very well liked in the NW. Except for Aaronth and Sable herself who were pretty new to the group, most of them were famous faces, recognizable by any decent, law-abiding Night World citizen.
