Merry Christmas Baby

II

The bite wound was healing quite nicely, it was alittle scabbed up, but Delphinus was keeping up on the maintenance of the bite. He did not let Cielo live it down though, giving him a him look everytime he got to close.

That wasn't all that happened though, Kristine did eventually admit that the Christmas party was moved to the next day; which happens to be today, and he wasn't ready, of course he would never be ready. He didn't have the spirit for holidays, Christmas being the worst. He never decorated for it, or spent time with family, he just sat in his house, keeping to himself.

So here he was, setting up food on tables, making sure the punch was slightly spiked yay drunk people, to even making sure there was plenty of space in the rooms for people to mingle and dance. Kristine was setting up the karaoke machine raving about all the songs she was going to sing, and whatever else she could drag her best friend into. Delphinus winced at the thought of having to do karaoke with her again, her voice was like nails on a chalkboard, or styrofoam being messed with, she wasn't blessed with a nice voice, he on the other hand was, and anytime they would go out and sing together Delphinus would always steal the show from her, and he never meant to.

Sighing as he finishes his task, he heads off to find Kristine and her friend, the one who should have a muzzle or beware of werewolf sign attached to him. "Kristine?! Where are you?" Delphinus shouted for his best friend, hoping she didn't get lost in his house again. It wasn't entirely a maze but it had many staircases that lead to different floor and  me rooms, and sometimes they lead to nowhere. The woman who built this house was superstitious, so she designed it to be very complex, she was also very witchy and spiritual and believed that demons were attracted to the property, so to confuse them she had many stairwells and rooms built into the 

"In here Delphi" She shouts out, her voice echoing off the walls. Delphinus recognizes the direction in which darkness she is. His eyes widened, rushingy77'nnnnnnnnn to go fetch her, she was not allowed in his craft room, that's where all his clientele come and he works his magic.

When he reaches her, he is gasping for air, anyone would have been the same going up three flights of stairs and down twelve hallways. "Kristin, what the hell do you think you're doing in here?" Delphinus asked between breaths. "Just being nosy, I've never seen the room where you perform on your clientele." She smirks giving me a wide lopsided grin.

"You should offer Cielo your services" she chuckles. "I will not offer him anything, did you forget he did this" Delphinus snaps ripping the medical tape holding the gauze to his neck off, exposing the wound..... "He did this" he points to the scabbed up wounds "he is lucky he is even still in my house, what kind of maniac bites people, and all because I wanted to come into the kitchen" He rubs his temples.

With a shrug of his shoulders and a sigh, he tells her that the Christmas party starts in a few hours and that they needed to get ready.

He was indeed not ready. Delphinus could not believe how many people showed up, nor could he believe the amount of joy people felt being here. It was..... sickening. So much joy over a holiday, a holiday where you spend countless money on gifts for people who might not even really appreciate it.

Delphinus slumped into a kitchen chair, the only place in the house that was relatively quiet. He couldn't believe he had agreed to this, there was a million bodies in his house bumping and grinding on one another to Christmas music. It caused a shiver to run down his spine, he was slightly disgusted.... It almost reminded him of.....

"Delphinus, lovely party" a woman's voice reached his field of hearing. The gears in his head turned, as he searched for where he has heard that voice before....He knew that voice.... His eyes widen slightly as he looks up to come face to face with his therapist. Bib heart beat rapidly, he couldn't believe Kristine invited his therapist.... How did she even know his therapist, she knew he was going, but he didn't disclose any confidential information.
