Rose Still Licking her Wounds as Miseli and Francine Helps her mend...

Next evening Rose continued to heal as Fran showed up knocking on her doorstep…. Aunt Rose open up… Go away, please…. It’s me Francine can we talk… No Fran please I need time… is this all about the other night with N.E.S.T. and the Vampire Lord... No Leave me alone you are not even my real niece making Francine cry off the porch… as Danielle said Fran sister wait… no Leave me alone as she continued to run off… as Miseli came up Danielle what is wrong… I don’t know Miseli Fran came running from Rose’s home upset… go to her Danielle she needs you…

Miseli ran to the house as Rose said Miseli I am sorry I told you I would train you but right now is not a good time… when is it you sleep during the day and up all night and what is wrong with Francine…. She tried to come and talk to me… she still calls me her Aunt… even though I am not Miseli… are you fucking insane Rose… It is better off that way… She cares for you like a family member… I could have killed her the other night… But you did not… But I could have and I cannot live with that guilt on my mind and I would not want Jake and Dawn to go through the loss at my own hands…

Fran… where are you… Danielle yelled as she could hear sniffling as she saw Fran sitting there frumpy against a tree… Leave me, alone sis, now is not the time…. What is the matter Fran tell me… she hates me… who… Rose… she told me she hates me… Danielle hugged her Sis she hurting just like all of us… as we hurt for our home being nearly destroyed she is hurting being controlled like she was Sis you heard what Paul and the rest of the family said they gave her another chance and you were the biggest proponent for it…I KNOW but she… I know sister you latched on to her when we were little… then what changed… nothing dear she just feeling the guilt of fighting us all one way or another let me ask you do you believe she still Our Aunt even though she says she’s not…Yeah, I do… then we both got to be strong for her that vampire lord really fucked with her head dear and making her question herself…

You think… I think so just give her time she needs to heal just like all of us… but she can’t do that alone… Agreed sister she can’t… then how do I help her when she refuses the help… Sister have you forgotten what mom and dad always say…. No sister… actions speak louder than words… so you mean even though she claims we are not her nieces really, we are… if you feel it in your heart and soul then you find the answer you so seek as Fran hugged her sister tight thank you, Danielle, so much… you are welcome dear as her sniffling began to return to normal…

Back at Roses home, Miseli shouted Do you know out of all the people here Rose Francine backed you, protected you and cared to the point of bodily harm… How can you even know what I went through Miseli it was like… Like what my dear friend… that prick was ripping my mind like it was confetti and I was helpless to stop it as Rose dropped to her knees and as I sleep I keep replaying that image in my mind over and over playing different scenarios in my mindset…

Rose Francine was told to leave the scene and she took it upon herself to come back here and be a mature woman about it and fight for you to back you like you backed her Dear she keeps talking about that day Hunter tried to hurt her when we talk one on one… you guys talk… of course, we do… she was scared too dear just like you are my friend…

Man, I really fucked up didn’t I… I… I didn’t mean to hurt her you know… I know Rose Miseli spoke Danielle ran after her…deep down I do think of her as a niece and want to protect her from all of this too…

Rose Fran is a loving and caring young woman what you have done for her growing up made her the woman she is… she is headstrong and committed to this family because of you, Her mother and Father and the rest of the family she knows what’s deep in her heart and wants to give you the love she knows you can feel but unable to warm your heart so she does it with her infectious smile… she does… yeah…

Rose she always beams up when your name is mentioned because she knows of the bond you two share as Niece and Aunt it is called Imprinting my dear even though she does not think about you in a sexual manner her way of the imprint was one of a maternal support see what getting at…

Yeah, I do… So, what do I do Miseli I mean I told her I didn’t want to talk to her again… did you mean it… well no but she may…I trust in her to make the responsible decision dear we all had a hand in guiding her to be a smart independent woman more others than me but I think you will be surprised Rose because I think I see her coming this way my dear friend so I will let you go and let you talk woman to woman ok… Thank you Miseli… you are quite welcome…

Hey, Francine Wait up… what do you want Rose… can we talk… you said it yourself… you didn’t want to talk… Look I know I am stupid for saying that… please Fran look at me... WHAT… I BACKED YOU…why Francine please tell why did you back me for… BECAUSE Hunter, Danielle and I love you don’t you see you came into our young lives and we latched on… then it grew to love… a love that we can see you desperately lost to make you feel somewhat human…

Look I appreciate it I do and I am so sorry I did not mean to upset you, Fran, I care for you all and when my ex-master controlled me I felt like I lost everything including you… and I am afraid… you afraid Auntie… while Francine started to cry once again… Yes, I am afraid what if it was not the only one and it happens again… I could have killed you… so it was worth a shot to save you… my dear if I died knowing you were safe then my death is meaningless…

Aunt Rose, we can’t lose you because you are stuck with us like it or not we are family now… as Rose began to cry I am so sorry I hurt you, Fran, I never meant to say what I said… I know Auntie I do and I am sorry I tried to push you to talk after everything Auntie I should have thought about it… you didn’t know dear… can we have a redo… making Francine chuckle yes aunt Rosie we can and it is almost dawn… well, I better get ready to go home… why go home dear I have a spare room and I got until morning light to slumber… you…you mean it I can stay here… of course, my dear niece as they continued to talk and regrow a bonding that Rose thought she and her undead mindset almost destroyed this very same night As the wolves of Wolves Haven howled throughout the early mid-morning skyline…
