Olivia got out of the car, relieved and shaking with everything that was happening as she was happy to see her father. "Daddy!"

But when she went over to hug her father, Jasmine jumped out of the car and almost tackled her friend as she stopped her from running over. "Olivia, wait! What if he claims you?"

"What?" Olivia scoffed at the idea of her father doing anything to hurt her. "No, it's fine. He won't do anything like that."

"I am betting a lot of daughters are thinking that right now about their fathers while they're obeying everything that they say." Jasmine said, looking over to John. "Your dad has been alone for a while."

"Jaz, I know that everything going on is scary, but I think that it's safe." Olivia promised her. "Daddy wouldn't claim us."

"Jasmine, I understand that everything is getting you scared and worried, but I promise you, you two are safe here," John promised them. 'For now' a voice whispered at the back of his head.

Jasmine still seemed hesitant when Olivia broke off of her friend and rushed to her father and embraced him with a hug. John for a second thought of doing it. Just reaching over and touching her shoulder. But Jasmine was also there and he didn't want to cause problems. Not yet. He hadn't even decided if he was going to go through with it.

John wrapped his arms around his daughter, keeping his hands away from her bare skin to assure Jasmine he wasn't going to do anything. "I missed you."

"I missed you, too, baby." John said as he kissed her head. He then looked over to Jasmine. "Did you wanna try and call your folks?"

"They were still on vacation." Jasmine said with a sigh. "I didn't expect them to be home until tomorrow." She shuttered as she thought of what happened to her parents. "I have a feeling they are not going to be back anytime soon now."

"Well, we have the guest room, so you are more than welcome to stay here," John offered her.

"Do I really have a choice?" Jasmine asked in a snarly tone.

John knew she was just acting defensive, she was usually a sweet girl and was just scared. Not that he blamed her. She was a young girl trapped in a house with a man, who is at this moment the enemy.

"Jaz, could you please stop? We are safe." Olivia said, leaning into her father's touch. She was always a physical kid, loved to be close to her father. He thought that she would grow out of it, but it seems to have stuck with her. "Right, Daddy?"

John swallowed, "Yeah." He then separated from Olivia. "Come on, get your stuff and take it to your rooms."

Olivia and Jasmine made their way to the back of the car, opening it up to then take their suitcases and head out of the garage. John suddenly remembered he didn't explain what happened with Ashley and that last he saw, she was still naked. He hoped she listened, and figured he would have heard someone screaming if she was still nude.

When he made his way back into the main house, he heard someone laughing and saw Ashley hugging Olivia. Seems they were just happy to see each other safe and Ashley was obeying his command to act like herself around Olivia.

"What are you doing here?" Olivia asked her.

"Well, I happened to be coming by for some work stuff when the news went out," Ashley explained, giving a plausible excuse for her to be there. "Your daddy said I could stay here until things went back to normal."

"If they do go back to normal," Jasmine muttered in fear, keeping her distance from John out of fear.

"Where will she stay?" Olivia asks.

"She will stay with me," John quickly spoke up. He figured it was best to keep the two of them apart until he could figure out what he was going to do. "In my room."

"Really?" Olivia was surprised to hear that, unaware of their arrangement.

"Just go and get settled." John said, pointing to the stairway to get them out of the way and looked to Ashley after they were alone. "Good job."

"Thank you, master," Ashley dropped into her Claimed state instantly after they were alone. "I am so glad that she is safe. But... isn't it dangerous keeping her Unclaimed?"

"For now... this is how it is going to be." John muttered.

Ashley outwardly complied, but her mind was racing with ideas on how to get John to see the benefits of Claiming the two young girls. They were just meat waiting to be owned to Ashley now. They weren't human being. They were unclaimed treasure.
