Vivian immediately raced to Jade's side and fell down beside her. She lifted Jade's head into her lap and stroked her hair and face as though trying to erase the pain and horrors that now plagued her mind. "Let us go. Now." She said, her tone was cold and almost lowered the temperature in the room. When nobody moved, she screamed. "Now! Let us leave! Or I'll kill that sorry piece of shit where he lays!"<br/><br/>Astaroth stepped between her and Damon's prone figure, and shook his head. "You won't kill him. We don't know what happened any more than you do, but we do know that we need to figure it out. And we can't do that unless we're all here."<br/><br/>Suddenly, Jade started screaming again, her body writhing in Vivian's grasp. "He knows! He knows we're here! He's going to kill us all!"<br/><br/>Vivian's eyes went wide and she muttered a quick spell under her breath to put Jade into a dreamless sleep.<br/><br/>"You lot had better find out what happened, and you'd better do it quick. The Black King knows we're here, and he'll try to get at us until he can kill us all." Vivian rose. "One of you idiots needs to get those two in separate rooms. Put them into beds. I don't ever want to see him touch her again. If he does..." She smirked. "I'll remove the offending appendage before I kill him."<br/><br/>Astaroth nodded and picked Damon up. "She can stay in this room. River, please put her in the bed. Vivian may stay here with the Lady Jade."  He turned towards the door. "And if you touch him, Knight, I will kill you." With that, he was gone, leaving Vivian alone with Jade and River.<br/><br/>"Well." River said with mock cheer, as he bent down to pick Jade up. "Now that everyone has been introduced, I suppose you'll be free to wander now. Just stay out of trouble and if I were you two, I'd avoid both Damon and Astar for a while." He set Jade in the bed, covered her with the embroidered duvet, and smiled. "It's almost hard to believe that she's the daughter of the most evil man alive. She's beautiful."<br/><br/>"Back off." Vivian snapped.<br/><br/>"Get some rest. It's nearly midnight." River left the room, closing the door behind him.<br/><br/>It was with mild pleasure that Vivian noted he did not lock the door behind him.
