Valentino rubs Anastasia's arm, trying to reassure her. She faintly smiles towards him and takes a deep breath before nodding and saying she's ready to go back out.
Just as the two left their little hideout, there was a series of brief knocks on the door to the mansion. Charlie was the nearest to the door and decided to answer it, upon opening it there was three demons who politely asked for entry, Charlie allowed them in by stepping to the side, she assumed they were also guests. However, two of them were here for a different reason, no one seemed to pay them too much mind so they went about their business.
Angel had his chin resting on top of Audrey's and used both his arms to wrap around Audrey. One of his hands placed in Audrey's. "Did you invite those three that just came in?" Angel looks at the demons who entered, "No, maybe your parents? Jerome?" Audrey shrugged her shoulders. "Possibly...." Audrey looked at Claire coincidentally and sees her terrified face and rushes over to her, Angel followed after her. "Hey sis it's okay, he's gone, I'll do anything to keep him away from you."
"What's wrong?" Audrey placed her arm on Claire's shoulder. "Claire saw...him." Jerome spat out like he's mentioning a disease, fully meaning Valentino. Angel scoffed as he heard the reference of Valentino. "Ugh, he's already here?" Angel didn't like the fact Valentino actually showed up. "Been here for a bit." Audrey came to the conclusion, "I think Claire needs a moment out of the room, Grandfather." There was worry in Audrey's tone. Jerome nods and wheels Claire out of the room so she can calm down.
Lillian was "discreetly" throwing dirty looks at Megan, really everyone else saw it except for Megan herself. Alastor presented himself to Megan. "Megan, is it?" Megan looked at Alastor and smiled, "Yes, sir!". Alastor places an arm over Megan's shoulder. "Lovely name, if I'm not mistaken you take care of Claire, yes?"
"Oh yes indeed! I feel so bad for what has happened to her, that's why I want to help her! Such a kind soul reduced to such a state." (Y/n) nodded her head in agreement before placing Delta and Victoria's gifts where Audrey was going to sit. "It's quite unfortunate, yes, but now is not a day to crowd our minds with negative thoughts, today is a day to celebrate Audrey's expecting child." She placed Angel's gift near Delta's before taking a seat on the couch. "Of course it is, we shouldn't worry about petty things. This is a time of family, after all. All parts of family." Ruth took a seat on the couch next to her sister on the couch. She crossed both her arms and legs glaring at Lillian.
Lillian had a confused look on her face pretending to be innocent. "What? Your aunt can't even take care of herself and is wasting someone else's poor time." Lillian was being the petty woman she was brought up to be. Both Ruth and (Y/n) yelled at their mother, "Mother!" Lillian turned her head to her daughters and was about to say something until Alastor cut himself in. "Well that is just rude." Lillian turned around and looked at Alastor, her mouth agape at how they all were against her. "I'm just saying, a person who can't even help themselves shouldn't even be considered a person anymore." Lillian stuck her nose in the air. The other four adults gave a disgusted look that basically screams "Get the fuck out!" Lillian lets out an aggravated sigh and walks away from them. Angel comes into the room and sits down next to Ruth. "So what was that all about?" Ruth sighed and explained to Angel how Lillian made fun of Megan who was just doing her job in helping Claire. Angel couldn't stand people such as Lillian.
Audrey's looking over everyone and sees the three demons who entered earlier. One of them parted away from the other two, and suddenly, the other two made their way to her. They asked Audrey for Charlie's location and when Audrey told them where Charlie was they left her alone.
Charlie noticed the two walk up to her. "Hello there!" One was male the other was female. "Good day, Princess!" The two of them bowed, "We have a message to deliver to you." Charlie was confused but she let them talk. "Is it a message from my dad?" The two laughed, "Oh heavens no!" Charlie was confused for usually the context of using it was always in a bad way. She noticed the crosses on their sleeves. "Are those crosses?" The male's eyes shines with joy. "Oh! You noticed!" The cross was on his left sleeve. "Of course she did! She has good eyes and the things are so large anyone can see them!" Her cross was on her right sleeve. "Well at least I remember my manners. Princess, I am Christopher Lawrence, soon to be reformed Demon!" He bowed to her again. "That is.. right, you have that." She rolled her eyes and introduces herself. "And I, princess, am Seria Rovanski, as well as soon to be reformed Demon." They began to talk about a woman who isolated herself and how no one had ever seen her, not even Charlie's father. The only one who has talked to her is Lady Mari. By the time the two were done they presented Charlie with a gift and gave Audrey her gift before leaving. The other one was still there. She looked like a marionette without strings.
Her bangs were white but the rest of her hair was black. Her face was white with purple streaks underneath her eyes, almost resembling tear streaks. She was talking to Jerome and Claire, trying to ease the two by saying that she sees light in Valentino's soul. But that didn't make it any better so she left them alone for now. She knew something was about to go down, horribly. Charlie felt like she knew of this girl before.
