Monday Morning Rose Wakes to Bad news as Grey Clouds Produce Silver linings that turn to golden opportunities….

Monday Morning in the Rainy weather of Seattle Washington as May walked back and forth talking into her cell phone "come on pick up, pick up damnit I hope I dialed the number right" as she tried to wipe the tears from her thick rimmed glasses covered eyes as Connie, Amy and Sara cried out "who would do this" arguing amongst each other as cops and firefighters continued to sift through the wreckage of the once proud shop….

Elsewhere two lovers laid face down ass up under black silk sheets and satin pillows as the phone rang at a constant waking Rose as she moaned "can you pick that up baby" as Zara picked up the phone and spoke "Kahn Residency this is Zara Lane speak…"

May spoke in fast speaking tone "you might not remember me we met at Jack’s funeral is Rose there…" "yeah hold on MMMMM its for you I think it is your friend from Seattle" as Rose groaned "what time is it" as Zee smiled "seven in the morning" as Rose spoke "this is Rose speaking…."

"Rose its me May from…" "Hey May miss me already it has only been…" "Turn on the news…" "why May is something wrong…" "Just turn the news on please" as Esther Rose slid up and grabbed the remote as she covered her C Cup tits feeling the silk embrace her naked flesh as she switched on the television finding the local News Network

Rose cried out "NOOOOOOOOO" as she alerted her naked lover Zara up as Zee spoke baby "what is…" "ITS GONE EVERYTHING…" "no you haven’t baby" Zara spoke holding Rose tight as Rose pointed to the screen in shambles…. As Zee spoke "it is ok baby…" "My Uncles and Aunts shop its… its gone everything we worked so hard for… in ashes… why does this happen to me" Rose Cried…

May spoke through the speakers of the speaker phone "me and the ladies have been trying to get the details but the cops and firefighters are making us jump through hoops as we speak… what are we going to do Rose the girls are pissed wondering how they…" "listen get them together tell them I… I will figure it out that’s what a CEO does right and tell them that I will still pay them as full-time employees and tell the part time employees they are welcomed to stay but if they decide to leave, I will understand and help them find…" "you know our workers Rose they wouldn’t dare leave you like this what worries me the most is what about the inventory you know some of our investors…" "I’ll deal with investors you worry about damage control…."

As Abby, Liv, Lilly and Jessica began walking down the hall as Lilly spoke "should we tell Rose and Zara that we are getting ready to leave" as Abby smiled "you all worry about her" as they got closer hearing the tone in Roses voice… "Listen May I JUST WOKE UP TO THIS look sorry dear I am…" May smiled "I understand Boss lady…"

"Please don’t call me that" as May chuckled "how are you going to…" "I will figure something out just tell me was their anyone…" "No" May spoke "no one was inside when the fire broke out" as Rose sighed. "Uncle Jack said you can never make an omelet without breaking some eggs…"

Abby opened the door to see the news "OH MY WORD" as Abby turned "ladies do you mind going to the studio alone" as Lilly spoke "yeah, I… I want to spend some time getting the ideas of how Hunger is going to sound" as Jessie spoke back "these last few days have opened my eyes and immortal ears so I may write and produce some beats maybe just maybe I can visualize a song" as Abby spoke "just do what you always do my dear be yourself" as Abby watched the trio leave their lavish and luxurious home….

Abby knocked "may I come…" as Rose spoke "May just do what I ask please tell the girls I send them my love and thank them all for being there for you and our company" as May spoke "Rose it is your family’s company I… I just work…" as Rose cut her off "listen May you and the ladies makes Angie Jacks what it is a friendly atmosphere and a fun place to work you all take your ideas of fashion and use it for our brand even though it is donated items you all make it work so this place is as much yours as it is mine so hold your head up for me please and keep me in the loop…"

May cried "thank you Miss Kelly…" "its Rose dear talk to you soon" as Abby spoke "what happened dear" as Rose cried "someone or something burned down my family’s shop Abs just when I thought…"

"Hey it isn’t your doing don’t think like that" as Abby cold embrace held her tightly "I… I don’t know what I am going to do next the investors who help us keep lights on and get us donations from others non profit organizations once they get the news, we’re finished" as Zara began to speak as Rose’s Cell vibrated and rang…

Rose heard her phone rang and Buzzed as she spoke "FUCK ME RUNNING" as Zara spoke "who is it" as Rose spoke "Mr. Jenson… yeah, I… I just saw…." "We can’t do business with a person who would deliberately destroy their business to ensure our bills won’t get paid…" "Mr. Jenson I am shocked that this happened…" "Sure you are dear Miss Kelly Me and the board heard you came into a large sum of money…" "Hey I was on my way home to Vegas to bury my uncle…"

"Sure, you were" Mr. Jenson spoke back "or you could have one of your underpaid…" "my people would never dare do that they are loyal to the core how dare you fucking talk to me like this if my uncle was still alive…" "but he isn’t is he" as Carter Jenson spoke back "and I am glad your uncle didn’t see you as the money hungry type that you became slut and don’t worry about the others they want nothing to do with Angie Jacks already ruined reputation good day and go fuck yourself…" "you got some fucking nerve ASSHOLE" as Rose threw her cell phone towards the wall as Abby used her fast reflexes and caught the flat phone in her cold dead hands "now dear it isn’t the cell phones fault…."

Rose cried "It… Its over those assholes are pulling out because of a fire" as Abby spoke "those kind of people makes me ill to my stomach; they claim to protect those less fortunate" as Rose Cried "My aunt Jackie that fucking whore, she made it known she was…" "hey don’t assume" as Rose spoke back "can you just leave me" as Zara spoke "are you…" "baby please" as Abby spoke "come, I need to show you something" as Rose cried her eyes completely out as the tears soaked the silk and satin sheets…

Zara walked beside "Abby do you think…" "Rose is a fighter I've seen how hard she fought to bring your pack sister home to reconnect you both and yet she persevered so give her credit where credit is due" as Zara smiled, "I do Abby just the loss of her uncle now her business and that investor that Rose went off on it seems like…"

"Zara listen you know exactly how she feels and you and her paths have the same outcome and deep down you know this" as Zara smiled "so you think my pain and hers" as Zara spoke "what is this" as Abby smiled "the reason, I asked you to follow me so Rose can…" as Rose walked up in a sheer black robe "listen to me both of you don’t have…" "we didn’t want you to feel" as Rose spoke "Abby I am a big girl and I will figure it out" as Zara smiled "she only wanted what was" as Rose smiled "I… I understand" as Abby began to speak again "ever since Olivia, Jessica, Zara and myself was attacked I felt like our home isn’t safe so while we were away, I asked our friends Chase and Luci Hilton to place in some counter measures as a way to protect ourselves…"

Rose spoke "it’s a map of the estate isn’t it" as Abby smiled "it is… net traps, trip wires that springs snares that will subdue the bigger threats that’s why I wanted Zara to see this as Lilly’s beta she and Lilly and the others can act accordingly when they change under the full moon" as Rose smiled "well, I better get lay of the land too as this is my home now…"

Zara looked back and spoke "first things first you got your business to…" "it… it can…" "NO IT CAN’T" Zee spoke carefully as Rose’s mind link spoke back (BUT I PROMISED YOU THE FIRST FULL MOON MY LIFE IS YOURS) as Rose felt Zee’s Mind spoke back (IT WILL MY LOVE BUT I WOULDN’T ASK YOU TO GIVE UP) as Rose cried "it isn’t giving up my love" as Abby smiled, "I know you two are connected but give us ladies who don’t know the 411 on what you are thinking…."

"Abby sorry but Until I know what I am going to do to rebuild my family’s legacy I… I was thinking of…" "no you will not place your friends on hold Let me look into some safer buildings Lilly told me that place was in a shady part of town" as Rose spoke "it used to be safe at one time" as Abby smiled back "but with the times that all changed didn’t it" as Rose smiled back slightly "it didn’t stop Lilly from staying there" as Zara spoke "if anyone would have attacked the shop while she was there it wouldn’t be pretty" as Rose smiled "thats what scared me the most when Lilly stayed…"

Back in the studio Lilly finished the song lyrics as Chase spoke "that… that moved even myself and I must say you got yourself a major hit" as Lilly spoke "I… I just need a hand" as Chase smiled back "let me take a lick at it" as he said "may I" as he picked up a red guitar as Max came in "Lilly I… I heard you returned how was…" as she blushed "somber Max my friend really needed me and I needed her" as Max spoke "how did you wind up there in the first place" as Chase and Luci looked on and smiled, "we will let you two catch up" as they watched them leave…

Max spoke "this song I heard you were singing was this what you were looking for all this time a place to be loved and cared for…" "wait how did you know I was singing" as Max smiled back "it’s a studio, we all hear it my friend I… I like it but some things do not add up. First you bolted for months on end not telling us all" Max spoke as Lilly said "look Max it… it is complicated…" "are we friends" he replied back… "we are and if it wasn’t for you and the others Max, I wouldn’t have come back…" "then I thought we were connecting you and I…" "I… I felt that too Max I did…" "then why did you run and lock yourself up in the restroom, what are you hiding why can’t you tell me…." "You wouldn’t see me the same way if…" "try me remember you can change your looks and your hairstyle but deep down you are still Lillian Jackson…"

"Max look I promise you in time please let me" as she began to turn around… "DON’T YOU SEE I CARE FOR YOU LILLIAN DON’T YOU FEEL THE SAME…" stopping Lilly in her tracks… "HOW DARE YOU… DON’T YOU SEE MAX I… I AM TRYING HERE…"

Lilly broke down dropping to her knees in tears "Max, I’m sorry please forgive me" as Max spoke "Lillian please you… you can tell me" as Lilly looked up to see Max’s hand reaching forward… "Max I… I want to god as my witness I do but now isn’t the time can you please can’t you see I hurt" as Max knelt down "I… I do and I understand if you don’t want to say it now when the time is right, I promise you with open heart and an open mind I will listen to you…"

"OH, MAX I… I…" as she cried "since the bullet that I was shot with changed my life…" "how so" Max spoke… "Doctors gave up on me was going to let me die because the wound no matter how they stitched it tore open more and more then the next moment I woke up like nothing happened" as Max spoke "it is ok you don’t need to say any more for now" as Lilly spoke "you… you like the song…" "Like it I… I love it as it can be different for those who hear it" as Lillian dried her eyes "still I…. I need to find its rhythm" as Max spoke "you will dear you will" as the two cried in each other arms…

Elsewhere Rose spoke back "why are we shopping" as Abby smiled "you need to get your mind off your troubles besides maybe if you check out some of the boutiques here maybe it will…" "Don’t you see it is over the investors pulled out, the building is destroyed, I am leading my coworkers…" "you know I don’t want to say ill things but your uncle and aunt never gave up…" "gave up its not giving up if you have…" "but you are a store is just block and mortar it is what you put inside of it…"

Zara smiled "I do have to agree with her my grandfather’s business which I oversee has been booming since…" "you…. You work too" Rose spoke back… "well I don’t actually work but in a way, I do" Zara spoke "my family and the man I entrusted my family business to oversee its growth my Grandfather took in from the streets and got him clean off drugs and on got him on his path now when people think of Marco’s Fine Deli and Italian Cuisine, they know they are getting one-of-a-kind experiences…"

Rose spoke "you could have told me you still…" "would it make a difference" as Rose smiled "no it wouldn’t and are you sure you don’t…" "listen Rose I know deep down you want me and I do want you I know you can feel it" as Rose spoke "I can hear it in your mind baby I do" as Abby smiled back "now you see" stopping the vehicle as Zara smiled "baby we are here" as Rose looked outside "GODDESS WITHIN wait… isn’t this… the…" as Rose felt Zara’s lips upon hers making her wish she was butt assed naked and rubbing her wet slit against her love…

Abby spoke "man driving like this is killer on my senses I don’t know how Liv done it for so long some of these drivers I would want to bury out in the desert where did they get their license from a bloody cracker jacks’ box" as Zara smiled back "Liv hasn’t agreed to find a new limo driver has, she" as Rose looked up at the glowing neon as Zara spoke "well what are we waiting for" as Zara pulled Rose inside making her pant like crazy as the bell rang like crazy….

"Come in ladies welcome to OH Look my dearest sisters of the night" as Laura, Barbie and Brenda Jonas smiled "Miss Kelly when we gave you the invite to stop by anytime, we didn’t think twenty-four hours later you would be in…"

"I… I needed to get out of the house" as Zara smiled looking around. "Hey baby what do you think about this" holding up a see-through light powder blue Negligee licking her lips as Rose could picture it in her mind as Liza spoke "dear are you…"

"My… My family’s shop is destroyed…" "WHAT" all spoke in unison as Meg spoke "tell us what…" as Rose spoke "someone or something burned my family’s building to the ground and now the investors are pulling out stating my Aunt and Uncle lied to them about their bill situation" as Liza spoke "my dear, we… we are so…" "now I have friends who are counting on work" as Rose began to cry "I… I don’t know where to turn my Uncle and Aunts whole ideal for the store was to take things people didn’t want and repurposed them into a style that wouldn’t be so…" "expensive on the wallet" Laura smiled showing her fangs as Rose spoke "you… you guys don’t hide your…" "why should we…."

Liza spoke "Oh Tabitha do you mind working alongside Vampires…" "hell no" Tabitha spoke out "I love it" seeing the heavily tattooed and pierced woman wearing a leather spike bra and leather pants speak back "it is a pleasure" as Liza spoke back "see" as Rose spoke back, "she looks like…" "a punk rocker the funny story about her is we found her shoplifting our wares…." "And you didn’t turn her in" as Rose looked back in amazement as Liza smiled back "why should we involve cops when we could make her life a little more productive…"

Rose spoke "so you… you all are…" "I call it a way towards Penance" as Tabitha spoke back "look, I know you think I should hate them for making me work off my debt but in fact it is the opposite…" "wait… you mean she knows…" "hell yeah, I know I… I was" as Laura smiled back "Tabitha is a tough cookie but she has her quirks" as Tabitha spoke "listen Rose is it, I don’t hate them this place has changed my life for the better I'd rather be here than in prison" as Rose smiled but blushed beet red with embarrassment as Tabitha spoke, "I am going on a smoke break" as Rose smiled slightly as she seen Abby and her love shopping around….

"So, your family’s shop has been destroyed are you planning…" "I… I want to but with no one wanting to invest in I… I don’t know where to turn" as Laura spoke "MMMMM follow us if you will" as Rose gulped back a bit as Liza smiled, "we aren’t taking you out back to feast dear we wouldn’t dare" as Rose seen Janice and Josephina walked in ringing the bell "we be right with you ladies" as Janice smiled "thank you we are just looking" as Abby spoke "Janice, Josie nice to see you once again" as they began to talk as family as Josie spoke "the sermon you gave even though you are not a person of faith" as Abby smiled back "I just went with what my heart was telling me to say" as she spoke "if you are looking for Lilly she went to the studio" as Janice spoke "we… we are… not here for lady alpha we… we have to find something for" as she inched closer as Abby could tell the wet dog smell clearly "it is for Miss Kelly we heard that she is going to mate with Beta soon…."

Abby smiled "word gets out quickly" as Janice smiled "when we went to Utah after Lilly forced us to leave the first time we watched as our new packmates when choosing their lovers pass upon them a black silken robe upon their blessing themselves to the goddess of the moon…."

Abby smiled "so you two want to continue the traditions you saw there here I think Lillian would most definitely approve" as Both twin women squealed "thank you Miss…" "please Abby" as Janice and Josephina spoke "ok Abby" as she spoke "oh the next time you two come over bring a bag, we have plenty of room to spare…"

"Thank you, Abby, for everything…." "Also, Miss Kelly needs some time so if you pick a robe that suits her tastes please hold on to it…" the moon arises in four-day Abby we… we thought" as Abby smiled, "we talked about that on the ride here something came up right now that needs Rose’s full attention" as Janice spoke back, "we saw the news a structure fire in Seattle a place called…" "Angie Jacks" Abby spoke back "that was her family’s business" as Janice and Josie spoke "we understand thank you for the heads up" as the twins walked away looking for the perfect robe on their own….

Rose walked into the back as Meg spoke "so you need investors to continue your shop in Seattle" as Laura spoke "well, we can help you find respectful and trust worthy investors" as Rose spoke "look at all this wonderful clothing" as Liza spoke "this was our last year’s autumn wear some sold well others not so much but we still make a profit as online sales and other retailers are having a time keeping them on their shelves…."

Rose spoke "if my aunt and uncles’ shop was still open the ladies would die to see something like this roll in" as she touched the fabric moaning slightly as Rose loved the texture as Laura spoke "you know we can help with the investors as we know the majority of well-respected members from Hugo Boss to Versace" as Rose spoke "you… you mean you could…" as Brenda spoke "get your foot in the door" laughing "Hell, we would be able to get you all the way in all you have to do is give us a small slice…."

Rose spoke "how small" as Laura smiled "mmmm how about fifteen percent…" "that sounds small compared to what our old Investors wanted" as Laura spoke "how much did they charge…" "Fifty-seven for them and thirty-two for business and employees…

Barbie Jonas spoke "that’s absurd who in their right minds would do that Honey they were stealing from your profits big time" as Rose spoke "you mean they… they were…" "pulling the proverbial wool over you and your family’s eyes how long were they doing business up until earlier when they all pulled out…."

Rose began to cry "they…. They were setting me and my family to fail all along" as Meg spoke "but you and your business didn’t fail don’t you see…" "MY BUILDING ITS GONE ALL THE INVENTORY GONE… look sorry I am not upset with you guys I… I need to talk to my friends they are my closest friends and they need to be in on these talks as they are my employees and everything, I do is for them…"

Laura smiled, "we can work it out my dear friend you know we women here at Goddess Worldwide we take care of our own and since you are under our umbrella of trust that is why we offered the 15 percent because we have made it…."

"If it was outsiders, we usually charge 50 to 60 percent but we would match it so both sides would get equal shares and equal profits what these investors of yours were doing was taking and taking bleeding you all dry" as Abby smiled "there you guys are…"

Rose spoke "those assholes Abby they… they were robbing us blind the entire time…" "who…" "my aunt and uncle’s investors they… they were wanting us to fail…" "it is ok dear" as Rose spoke "can you… will you bring my friends to Vegas w…we… need to conduct business as soon as possible" as Abby smiled "it will be handled my dear friend…."

Zara came up "baby what is… the matter…" "you… you were right… I… I can’t quit not now… my family, our family can’t let this be the end" as Zara spoke, "we are fighters dear war tested and battle hardened we don’t know the words of quitting and neither do you…."

Rose cried "I… I … was just thinking… if… If I…" "I know baby I know and I will wait my goddess Luna set these plans in to motion and you should trust in her too for soon she will be your goddess too" as the lovers embraced in around her friends...

Rose cried "I… I will my love" as Liza spoke "come on lets shop and let us take you out on the town our treat" as Rose smiled "MMMMM What happens in Vegas Stays here right" as Meg spoke "as long as you never leave MMMMM it is forever" as the immortal goddess of Vampires, Dhampirs and a lone wolf walked alongside Rose Kelly down the Las Vegas Strip dragging her from one shop to another in the neon filled lights of her new found home while back inside Janice and Josephina found the perfect item they were looking for as Tabitha rang it up "that will be forty three sixty two" as Janice smiled pulling our two twenties and a ten as Josie spoke "MMMM keep a tip" as the twins returned to their vehilce driving in the opposite direction from their friends and Beta…
