The three SUV's and a large van pulled up to the front door of the Den. As people started to flood out of the vehicles one of the witch's came up to Lilliana, she looked about twenty or so and like the rest of them was very pretty. "Where will we be staying?" She asked.
Lilliana looked at Sam who was now standing next to her. "You and the other women will be staying in the singles hall since you are also not mated. When you find mates you will live with them, if you elect to take them." Sam said reassuring her.
"What is your name?" Lilliana asked.
"Aria, my name is Aria, I am sorry for attacking you before. But if I hadn't done as they ordered they would have killed one of us." Aria said and hung her head.
"I understand you were trying to protect your family. I would do the same if I had to." Lilliana said encouragingly.
With that they started to head inside. Once inside the witches were directed to go with an older woman named Lisa and they headed to what Lilliana assumed to be the singles hall. But before Aria left her side she said, "Come see me later, I want to talk to you about that ability you and I share."
Aria looked at her confused at first but then understood. "Yes, whenever you ready. ma'am."
"Please don't call me that, call me Lilliana until I tell you otherwise alright." Lilliana pleaded.
"Ok." was all Aria said and she ran off to join the other women.
Sam lead Lilliana though the man hall, then the dining room. Everyone they passed bowed and then stared at Lilliana. She walked proudly next to Sam; as they walked out of the dining room into a large hallway Sam stopped in front of a winding stair case. "Our rooms are just up this staircase." Sam said and motioned her forward. She started to walk up the steps with Sam behind her. Eric and Ericka had followed them this far but left them when they reached the stairs walking farther down the hall. Now walking up the stairs Lilliana started to wonder when they would end. But just then she saw the stairs level out into a hall way and noticed a big set of double doors on one side. She stopped just outside them and waited for Sam. He stepped in front her and opened the door.
Once in the room Lilliana stood in awe, the room they had walked into was a living room with study. Everything was beautiful and expensive, Sam lead her through another set of double doors on right into a bedroom. The bed was a huge four post bed with a tall canopy and gossamer drapes. She walked over to the bed and touched the sheets; they were the softest, fluffiest blankets she had ever felt. She could wait to lie on them and claim Sam on them. She smiled and looked around the room. She found Sam behind the bed in what seemed to be a closet. She walked over and watched Sam as he undressed and put on new clothes.
"And why are you getting dressed." She asked. She looked him over while she waited for an answer. He now wears black slacks and a blue button down dress shirt, and a pair of dress shoes.
"I have to go to a meeting with the council but I shouldn't be long." He turned and looked a Lilliana.
"What will I do while you gone?" She asked sarcastically, but then realized she really doesn't know what she would do.
Sam seemed to notice and said "You can take a bath or walk out in the gardens or go see the witches or Ericka. Whatever you want to do, oh and I have a surprise for you." He smiled and headed out of the closet, he opened another door and ushered Lilliana inside. Inside, Lilliana found long rows of women's clothing, and shoes, bags, basically everything she could ever need as far as apparel went. Then she hear from the door way "Or you could find something to wear to dinner."
She turned smiling "And what should I wear?" She ask taking of her shoes.
"Whatever you want, you know I think you're stunning in anything." He said as she started to remove her shirt. Sam stared with a smirk on his face as she removed her belt, holster and pants.
She then got close to him, "You sure you can't take a bath with me." She said pressing her body against his, his arms now rested on her hips and he sunk his head into her neck breathing her in. He kissed the skin there tasting her flesh.
She moved to run a finger over his neck and he shuddered. "You are very persuasive but I must go. You should take a long bath and don't bother getting dressed, I wouldn't want to tear up your new clothes." He said looking into her eyes, she kissed him passionately and he wrapped his arms around her, picking her up and carrying her over to the bed. He sat her down on the side of the bed and undid her bra letting it fall to the floor. He leaned down and licked at her hard nipple. She arched against him as her fingers found his neck again. A tingle went down his spine and he pushed her back onto the bed.
"I will be back, don't you dare go anywhere." Sam said and stormed out of the room. Lilliana lay giggling on the bed for a moment before getting up and heading back towards her closet. She loved that she could rile him up. She picked out a pair of sexy purple bra and underwear and set to finding the bathroom. Which she found next to her closet and opened the door to find a huge bathroom with a large shower and Jacuzzi tub. She found towels in a small closet in the bathroom and turned the water on in the tub. Steam filled the room as hot water filled the bath; she found some feminine washes on the counter and used them in the tub.
Once full she waded into the hot water and turned on the jets. She sunk in and relaxed her whole body letting all her recent problems float away. It had been three and a half months since she sat at the gas station. Now she would use Sam's resources to get her son back and would never have to worry about it again. Tears rolled down the side of her face as she thought of her son. She wiped the tears from her face as she heard someone come into the room. She stiffened Sam should not be back this quick who could this be. She then heard a small voice from the other side of the bathroom door, but couldn't quite hear what they were saying.
"I can't hear you; you can open the door." she said looking down to make sure she was covered by bubbles. The door opened and Aria walked into the room, but shyly turned her head as she saw Lilliana in the tub.
"Please don't be shy, I'm not. Come pull up a chair and talk to me, unless you would rather I find a robe and we can go sit in the living room." Lilliana said smiling.
"No, this is fine I just didn't want to be rude." She said pulling a chair over from the wall to sit near Lilliana's head.
"Good now tell me about your teleporting ability, how do you control it?" Lilliana asked.
"Manly I just think about who or where I want to go and concentrate on it and then I'm there. But you magic is insane, when I tapped into your power to get us all back to the hospital. I felt overwhelmed to the point that after words I passed out. With my magic now that I understand it its easy, your mind controls it and with your power, your mind may be the only thing that holds you back, especially since you have the key. The way I came to understand it, is as energy that flows through the body and when you focus it to do a specific thing it clusters and makes that thing happen and then goes back to circulating through you." Aria said knowledgeably.
"That makes sense now tell me what else there is to know about magic." Lilliana said, and Aria went on to tell her about the different types of magic and the different types of witches that use it. And that witches were descendants of angel's and that's where the magic comes from. Magic is made up of the four elements earth, wind, water and fire and then there was dark magic that was usually only used by descendants of demons or no origin witches. This means they just picked up the magic through incantation and potions. Lilliana has the potential of all types of magic and that she had to resist the pull from the dark magic.

Forty-five minutes later:
Lilliana had gotten out of the bath, dried off and threw on a robe. She talked with Aria a little more as they walked into living area, Lilliana noticed Sam talking to another large man in the middle of the room and stopped with Aria next to the doors.
"Now I will see you at dinner and tell the other's to relax they are perfectly safe. And I will talk to them all very soon." Lilliana looked up to see the two men smiling in her direction and walked over to them.
Sam began "Lilliana this is Fin he's my second in command." Lilliana shook his hand and then found him looking at Aria.
"This is Aria." Lilliana said and Aria put out her hand to shake his but instead he brought it to his lips placing a small kiss there.
