Rebecca kisses him back and smiles, she adjust her weight a bit as she was starting to feel like her new self again, leaving her passed memories in the pass, but when she did she heard a crinkle of paper under her foot. She looks down seeing the stack of papers that were on Sebastets desk scattered a bit on the floor as she didn't notice her wings knocked them off when Ash pulled her too him. She lightly kneels down to start picking them up but she couldn't help but notice her name in everyone of the ones she picked up, so she started to glance over them.
She looked at all the papers a bit surprised, "These are all about me, from the people in town and servants. They see me as there protector, they trust me and wish for me to cook for them." She said it a bit pleased and shocked a bit, "I didn't know I had such an impression on all of them." She smiles as she felt the light of how much enjoyed her knew life now fill back in her, finishing picking up the papers she lightly stood setting them back on the desk.
Rebecca looks at Ash with a warm smile on her face, "I think we should celebrate, even though it went a little south I'm still safe and I have my life to myself now." She says proudly.

Andy and Michael arrived at the castle early in the night as they approach the gate, they looked at each other as they both we thinking and feeling the same thing, something felt off about the place as though something terrible just happened.
"Michael, there is something very wrong here, maybe we shouldn't visit just yet, it might be something that they don't want us to know about?" Andy says softly standing by the gate looking around.
Michael glances around a bit too looking for someone to talk too, "No Andy, we should just see if Valick and Rebecca are alright first, if they wish us to leave after seeing them then we will go, but we might be able to help out." Michael had his guard on and he never walked away from something that gave them an uneasy feeling and always needed to make sure there family was safe.
Andy looks at Michael knowing what he was thinking and nodded lightly, "Alright, let's see if we can talk to Sebastet if she is here." Andy says softly as he always kept his calm, knowing that getting worked up was never worth it.
A servant passed by and Michael got there attention letting them know who they were and once they told them they were Rebecca's uncles they seemed to feel more comfortable around them and agreed to bring them to Sebastet, leading them through the castle, into the wonderful garden and showing them to her office, they waited patiently for Sebastet as the servant went to go let her know.

It was a bit before Sebastet came into the office, her tail moving agitatedly behind her. This time, she was dressed in black fighting leathers; bustier, pants that rode low on her hips and laced up the outsides of her legs, knee-boots that were actually more like a sock than a full boot and enabled her to walk even more silently, and gloves that moved up to just below her elbows. She also had her sword and daggers on, her sword-sheath set for a downward draw at her back.
"I hope you both have better manners that Eric. I'm not in the mood to deal with it tonight. I've got six people missing and five trying to get to them before they die. Two of the missing are my godchildren, one of whom is pregnant. So make this quick," she stated without preamble, not bothering to charm or tease them as she had with Eric.
She moved to stand on the other side of her desk from them, leaning over it as she looked at a map of Darkness Abounds as she tried to trace the path she knew the rescuers would have to take into the swamp. Beside that, she had a map of the island, using that to try to rework her protections. She shook her head over both maps, her long braid shifting behind her in the process, then looked up at both of them with a frown, "So who exactly are you? I know you're here to see Rebecca but she's currently trying to keep the brother-in-law of the pregnant female calm while his husband helps the rescuers. If you're here to talk to Valick, he's currently pouting in his rooms over the fact that Rebecca got involved with the Incubus that was kidnapped," she added, clearly not in a mood to play around tonight.

Andy and Michael looked at each other from hearing all this news at once, hearing that there family was alright relaxed them a little, but they knew that they were going to enjoy having a talk with there niece about this Incubus she got involved with, but hearing that he was one of the ones taken made him and the others important to them as well, being friends of Rebecca's. They are not at all surprised Valick is pouting about Rebecca finding someone new, there just glad that he was leaving her be about it.
They look back at Sebastet giving her an apologetic look, "I'm Andy and this is my brother Michael. We are very sorry to just show up like this, it was rude of us not to send word of us coming here. We just heard news about Rebecca stepping her ground and wanted to come congratulate her on it, but we felt something was wrong when we arrived." Andy spoke in a softly sorry tone showing no rudeness.
"We just wanted to see if our family was alright and see if there was any way we could be of some help. Hearing your troubles and hearing that Rebecca has a friend in trouble, we would gladly go help get your people back. My brother and I are very skilled together when it comes to these things, but if you wish us to leave we will without another word" Michael still had his guard on but he was cool and calm with his tone, not wanting to be rude in any way to Sebastet seeing her uneasy with this trouble times right now.

Sebastet frowned again as she thought hard, "Andy and Michael... Andy and Michael..." she tried to remember where she'd heard that combination of names before, her expression clearing once she did, "Ah yes... Turned by the same one that Sired Valick... Eric boasted about your skills once but I put that down to him simply blowing hot air... but if you're here on your own, I'll take his words as truth, for once," she commented, rolling her eyes over Eric's idiocy.
She went silent as she considered them for a long moment and finally blew out a long breath as she made a decision, "Fine. I'll take your help. The rescuers are going to need the help. I'll make a portal to them when you're ready. You'll be meeting up with two shapeshifters, a demon, and two mages. The shapeshifters are a WereTiger, who is probably not in a good mood at present so I'd advise caution when dealing with Dev; and a Demonicus male, my godson known as Wind and twin brother to the pregnant female, known as Blade and my goddaughter, that was taken. The demon is the mate of that female, Anube. The two mages are a blood mage, Rose, currently lovers with my librarian, Cain, who was taken most likely by mistake; and Desha, a healer-mage, immortal, and father of one of the others taken, ShadowDancer, another godson.
"Those taken were the Incubus, Ash; Cain Albright, vampire and my librarian; Dancer, soul- and heart-healer, half human-mage and half selkie, all WereSnowLeopard; ShadowBlade, Demonicus female currently pregnant with twins and probably not in the best of moods right now; Snow, female vampire, former slave of the one who took them all, I'd suggest leaving her to Dev when you find her; and Ora, shapeshifter, very young, very innocent, and most likely taken by mistake. Of them all, Ora will be the most frightened.
"Ash is one of High King Lareth's best soldiers and assassins. I'd suggest looking for him first with the others, second in Kula's bedroom. Cain will probably be the most annoying to you. He's clumsy at the best of times, tends to ramble on odd subjects, but is the most intelligent people you'll ever meet. Leave him to Rose. Dancer will be biding his time to do something and doing his best to keep Ora calm. He'll be thinking of others before himself," she gave a soft sigh at that and looked down at her hands on the desk, frowning at her claws as she remembered what he'd done for her, "You should know that he's one of our main blood donors here and has kept more than a few residents sane, even helped ease them past alot of their inner pain and issues from their pasts. He tends to work himself to exhaustion doing so..." she added that as a side note, not wanting them to be shocked by his scars.
"Ora leave to Dancer and Desha, they'll be able to calm her down and help her past this. I don't know what good she'll be when you find her... As for Blade... I'd suggest staying out of her way as much as possible... Don't go near her until after Anube has calmed her down and Desha has checked to make sure she isn't going to loose the twins... And tread warily with her after that," she tried to think of anything else to tell them and remembered Snow...
"As for Snow... Leave her to Dev and Desha... She can be as cold as her namesake but it's a fascade she uses to protect herself. Kula will have gone after her to retrieve her 'property' and make her pay for leaving. She'll likely be injured pretty badly.
"Kula's lair is in the swamps of Darkness Abounds, which is why Rebecca is staying here. To keep her out of Lucifer's notice. She's got full control of her abilities and powers now, and the full freedom to be herself," she offered them a small smile as she thought of the girl, "She's now my head chef and the most popular person on the island aside from Dancer and Cassius," she added that one in, letting them know part of what had sent Eric back very unhappy...

Michael and Andy smirked a little as they were amused by her eye rolling and tone about Eric, they really didn't not know any that didn't not like Eric besides one and that was Christine, but she was just as cold hearted as him so they were perfect for each other.
"Yes, as much as we hate to say it Eric is truthful on our skills and we are here on our own though as it was a good time to slip away from Eric as he has a lot on his plate from losing Rebecca and dealing with a now very angry Lucifer." Michael says with a bit of amusement at the end about Eric as the brothers looked at each proud of there little niece.
They silently stood there patiently as they let Sebsatet think it over not urging her on in any way. When she spoke saying she will take there help and nodded and let her tell them everything they needed to know, every now and then looking at each there as they thought out a plan. Them being vampire twins gave them an ability to hear each others thoughts when they wanted too, to be able to talk things out and listen as Sebsatet talked.
They agreed on the fact to find this Ash first for Rebecca and help out the others in any other way they can. Michael hearing from Sebastet about Dancer made him feel like he will help him out after finding Ash, hearing that he helps others out a lot and is always drained from doing so, he wouldn't mind lending a hand out to him to help him through this as he dose for everyone else.
Andy couldn't help, but glow a little from hearing all who was together and in love, hearing the passion to save all there loved ones, made him want to help out even more, he just wished he has someone close to him like that.
They both smiled a little as well when they saw a little smile grow on Sebastet's lips when she spoke well of Rebecca, seeing that she was proud of her and pleased to have her here as much as they were proud and pleased for her to have her freedom for once.
Michael and Andy took a moment thinking over each others thoughts, hearing where they were going was not a new place to them as they had experience being there once for Rebecca in her dark times and they never met this Kula before but they have heard of her and what she dose.
They then looked at Sebastet giving her a reassuring confident smiles, "Well will be sure to return your people safely my lady and we surely are ready to go as soon as possible, the sooner we join them to help, the sooner we can help bring everyone back safely." Andy says in a warm ready sweet tone and softly goes into a bag he brought with him, pulling out very nice hand crafted himself throwing knives all laid out neatly on a belt holder, arm holder, and a thigh holder. Michael already had his sword on his back as it was a very long sword as it almost was taller them him from handle to tip.

Sebastet gave them another nod of thanks and reached into one of the drawers of her desk, pulling out a dagger that she passed to Andy. It was steel with silver along the edges of the blade and a rather large dark emerald at the base of the hilt, "Watch the edges of that, I had it lined with silver, but show it to Desha and he'll know I sent you to help," she told him then headed towards the door to the office and closed it before taking a few steps back from it.
She whispered strange words too softly for them to hear it as power formed a soft green glow around her gloved hands that she directed towards the doorway. One moment, there was a simple wooden door there, the next, it was a portal to a dark, dank swamp, "Go. You'll know Desha by his silver hair and eyes the match to mine," she told them simply, knowing that Desha would be the easiest one to see.

Sebastet raised her head from her arms, probably looking as exhausted as she felt about now, and looked at him a bit dumbly at first. Then she took in a deep breath and sat back in her chair, motioning to one of the chairs on the other side of her desk in the process, "Come on in. I'll assume you're here to check on Rebecca as well. You should know she's got Sanctuary here, so don't attempt to try to talk her into leaving. Valick is currently pouting in his rooms because he's not getting much attention from her. Andy and Michael showed up as well then offered to help bring back some of the residents after they were removed involuntarily. Rebecca is, at the moment, helping another of the residents to stay calm until they get the others back. It seems a bit confusing, I know. Just trust me on it. I'll send someone down to get her as soon as I know who you are and exactly why you're here," she told him.
Admittedly, she'd just given him alot of information, and made a big assumption, but better to get the information out of the way now than to have to do it later. As for the assumption... Well... She'd had alot of people in her office lately to see Rebecca... She was very popular right now...
