[text to both Henry and Urian]

Did either of you buy me a giant bag of inappropriate coffee?

He got the text message that the last dose had been given to Henry a couple days before it was time to go back. Enough time to get the blood and the tools they'd need together. Thank God for overnight delivery. Urian had been by his side almost since that night. A couple days into it, when the demon hadn't reappeared, Abraham redrew the sign to bring him out again. Spending the time with Henry's family had done wonders to help ease his own worries. The boys were so smart and Emily took after Henry so much...

Perhaps telling Urian, catching him up on the days he had missed, had been a mistake, but he felt his friend needed to know about the mistake that had saved him a lot of pain... the unintentional marking that had protected him when Marquee lost patience with his yokel act. He had also brought his full strength to bear in those moments, hopefully giving the demon pause in considering a second fight.

Once the day came, it was agony to wait sunset. The box of things they would need, including the newly printed book full of Henry's sketches that Adam had saved (Adam had texted him how to get into the lockbox and where the automatic book printer was located in the maze of rooms) sat in his car.

He had told Emily as much as he could scaring her and now told her it was almost over, they would be coming home soon... During the long hours of day light he and Urain had found, or rather Urian had found and very easily, the room full of a liquor collection. He helped himself to a glass of a rather fine vintage and sat with Urian until the sun was setting.

Adam looked both exhausted and heartbroken, hardly any life could be seen in the old vampire's green eyes. He had hardly slept, ever watchful of his husband. He knew Henry would be confused, furious and heartbroken when he woke up. And had every right to be. Adam had broken almost every vow and promise he had made to protect Henry and keep him safe... and yet what had he done but create a Second Night in Delaware.

He would have gladly traded his life for Henry's... if it meant that his Love would be safe from that monster. Should that monster ever figure out what they had done he would take him up on the offer rather than ever do this to Henry again.

So he couldn't be there when Henry was woken despite how every ounce of him wanted to. To try and explain, to comfort. But that would only make it all so much worse. He insisted on being there to flush the drugs and what little blood was left, used and blacked it would be out the tube. After all he knew more than anyone what Henry could take. How quickly fresh blood should go in – starting out with a transfusion of his own blood to strengthen, willing to give as much as he could before he felt himself weaken had had to go.

The video offered no sound, no comment, no words recorded aloud.. obviously taken in one of the mirrors in the library at Eden... 

At first it looked fun, he even found himself smiling as a particularly cocky Urian was clearly making the ancient vampire uncomfortable, even angry. Urian looked good doing it too... but the box was oddly familiar, even if he had only seen it once before and couldn’t quite place it. 

Sometime around the fourth or fifth time he watched the video play out did it occur to him that during the war... even during the fight in the ballroom or on the bridge with the burning train - he had never seen Adam pissed off. And it was only in a freak accident of the pause and rewind tappings on the screen that one of the burning pieces of paper was framed absolutely perfectly to catch his attention. It was a sketch that Henry had shown him... that box was Henry’s...

For the first time he let the video run to it’s finish.. the phone turned, Adam holding it out at arms length...  “get rid of him before he kills henry.”

It a long moment while Abraham looked at the phone, the video had reset to the gallery...hadn’t Henry warned him? His Maker could hardly look at him these days. For a vampire, he was almost certain that a near-human heart rate was severely abnormal.

My muse has been in a fight (and not fared very well) - send ❣ for them to react to your muse offering to patch them up.

DUDE ISNT IT

It doesn't help that my screen is huge and most themes (esp the kind with the closed in box) are made for laptops/computers with 15-17" screens. And here I am with a beastly 21" screen.

And most themes are very simplistic and I am just 'no I don't want simplistic I want something a bit more busy thank you'. Like I know simple is aesthetically pleasing to some, but I don't want that.

I want the 'clutter' on both sides of my posts, I want the links *falls face first and screams into pillow*
