A Witchy Presences:
When was Edmund was invited to a formal gathering with his significant other by a new business associate after a grueling meeting. He would agree to attend with Anaxagorou by his side with interest about how the elite of Hellsalem's Lot socialize. Already knowing he was going to drive his alpina b6, a car he had imported from family estate back in Germany. Even deciding to wear one his new suits from a local shop that Gilbert recommended when he asked him. 3 piece, tailored-designed suit made from finest wool fabric with white dress shirt and crimson red neck tie in a St Andrew Knot. His ruby cross tie pin and matching cuff links were one of many pieces that would finish off his look. Adjusting and pulling on a pair of black leather gloves with silver crosses on on back part of the wrist. Besides pulling on a pair of hang knitted socks his mother hand crafted for him before he slipped on his shoes. Straightening out the little wrinkles in his suit with his fiery mane perfectly tamed after a quick comb out.
"You done making your self look pretty?" Anaxagorou asked from doorway of their shared closet.
"Just making sure I am dressed accordingly." Edmund practically roared.
He stood in front of a full length mirror her had commissioned to fit his measurements when he had walk- in closet remodeled. One of a few changes he had done to the space used to store what he and Anaxagorou wore almost everyday. A sizable love seat was placed near a opened way that leads in and out of the bathroom for comfort reasons. Edmund had a habit of air drying after a good soak or when Anaxagorou gets to weak to make it to their bedroom. Hollowed area where a large pillow was placed with a basket filled with designer dog toys and moose hooves. Where Eberhardt could currently be found chewing away on a few rawhide treat that Edmund brought home that afternoon. Everything else about the space was left alone since Edmund found everything else good enough for his personal use.
"You look fine and rather we not be late." Anaxagorou rolled his eyes at Edmund's attempt to look like a mixture of dashing and sauve. Adjusting his hat that he was holding under his arm as he mumbled under his breath about time that Edmund was wasting. Turning his back and ready to say he would be downstairs waiting for Edmund to finish primping. If gloved hands that wasn't covered in a cotton shirt and suit sleeve hadn't wrapped around his waist and pulled him back. His back being pressed up against familiar torso of pure muscle in a bespoke suit, that was practically molded to his form. Who tighten his hold on him as a forehead that only creased in times of stress or when he was in deep thought. Would rest on his shoulder as a held breath was released on the back of his neck and held a warmth; Anaxagorou knew well.
"You know, I get weak when your in uniform." Edmund whispered in a teasing matter.
"If your a good boy, when we get back, We can have some fun and break the new mattress in." Anaxagorou offered a deal.
Edmund could only grunt as the chills that ran up and down his spine at the images swirling around in his head from those words. Stripped down to his boxer-briefs after a slow and torturing form of foreplay as his clothes were stripped away. Noticeable bulge that would be revealed by scarred fingers tips and moist lips belonging to holder of his heart. Left both to whisper to other those three little words from a love both carried for the other from depth of their hearts. One who admired Anaxagorou's form of blunt honesty that always came with an rough form of conduct. Rolled up into a man that survived the destruction of the second fleet by skin of his teeth and gained an ability from it. As other was always taken back by might of man that wouldn't be taken down by a flick of a Blood Breed's finger. Who applied the way he battled against a supernatural creature to every part of his life with dash of style to boot.
"Uncle Edmund! A Package Came!" a voice yelled from the first floor.
Grin that spread across Edmund's face when his nephew's shouts about something that was dropped off at his door stop just hours ago. Anaxagorou turned himself around enough in that single arm to tilt his head upward and peck a kiss on Edmund's chin. Was all the other needed to release Anaxagorou and request they get down stairs to see the surprise. Led to Anaxagorou stepping out of the way for Edmund to pass and would end up following him to lower floor. Where Riesgraf stood in the entrance hall holding a package after signing the delivery person with a confused expression. He was dressed rather casual with BEATS headphones resting around his neck and his growing hair in bond braid.
"Is that what I think it is?" Anaxagorou asked looking over the postage.
"I had Mr. Abrams work on this after a lengthy discussion." Edmund marched toward his nephew.
Riesgraf had handed over the sealed box to his uncle and watched the other rip away the layers of tape on top of wrapping paper. Before Anaxagorou was given the task to cut open the flaps and pull out a knuckleduster that would took his combined strength to lift. Metal surfaced was polished and fine tuned with similar features Klaus' carried from hinges to the joints.
"From the veins of my silver gem." Edmund looked the item over. "Such lovely work."
Edmund removed one of his gloves to get a proper feel for his new weapon as cold metal embraced his heated skin. He lightly hummed and slowly closed his eyes when coldness of the metal made first contact with his bare skin of expose hand. Chill of excitement up his ran up his spin when the restrictive bands linked to the ends of the knuckleduster settled. When he formed a fist around the grip part and watched crimson cross feature click into place when he flexed.
"Say Käse." Riesgraf ended up taking a picture of his uncles.
Anaxagorou had to cover his ears with metallic ear plugs when Edmund proudly roared the single word upon Riesgraf taking a picture. Flashes would stop when Anaxagorou had to remind Edmund they had somewhere to be in next few hours. That Edmund would agree to while taking his time removing the knuckleduster from his hand as if it was a prized gem. Folding the item up to manageable size, that can be tucked away into the inner pocket of his suit's jacket. Pulling his glove back on his hand and informing Riesgraf of how late they will be back depending on how this function lasts. Welcoming his nephew to all parts of house and where to find emergency numbers in case something happens. He was watching his cousin since it was the Nanny day off and their wasn't anyone else Edmund trusted with their son.
Left Riesgraf to wave them pair good bye as he messing with his phone long enough to see them out the side door of the house. Where a 2 car garage building stood in the back part of property with cement driveway and stored the vehicle they were taking. Would be opened by a carefully concealed electric opened in a camouflaged metal box. Could be found among the bushes beside very stairs everyone was stepping downward with Edmund flipping opened to use the opener. After pulling on and fastening his Long Wool Blend Walking Top Coat with a practiced finesse. To only toss the opener over to Anaxagorou and making his way to his car as one of the garage doors started to slide open. Revealing a 20 in hubcaps and Darken Red patented metallic paint vehicle with expensive interior materials. Von Reinherz family crest was the hood ornament as license plate spelled crimson cross in block lettering.
"..." Riesgraf just becomes speechless when he looked over that car.
"Forgot that settle isn't in his vocabulary." Anaxagorou sighs. "What did I ever see in him?"
"A guy who can lift twice his body weight and looks good in a suit?" Riesgraf answered.
Anaxagorou could agree with physical appearance that only made up the outer parts of Edmund ,besides a aggressive personality, his natural leadership and management skills. A warm heart was hidden under all those harden layers of toughness and battle hard experience. Always showed during their more private moment together in the form of a gentle caresses, or embracing the other. Wasn't something that Anaxagorou didn't want to trade in in all the world with how long they been together. Had him the ex- officer smiling as he pulled on his hat to hide the smirk on his face.
"You already know the rules and we'll be back before 2." Edmund spoke from the garage. "Come on, Keith I don't want to be late."
Anaxagorou gave his former charge his usual speech about being responsible before he turned and made his way to the car. Stopping Edmund before he unlocked the doors of his own car with the keyless remote by reaching for his tucked in tie. He would pull Edmund down to his height the clash their lips together for a quick kiss that Riesgraf caught as a picture. Releasing his grip on Edmund's in the end and allow the man to stand at his full height rather shocked. Staying that way even after they loaded up in the front half the car and drove away with Riesgraf waving farewell to them. Would turn around and walk back into his Uncle's house where his baby cousin with two dogs were waiting for him. Making sure the side entrance was properly locked before he called out for Vonner and Eberhardt to come. Didn't happen within first few seconds of him giving the verbal command would leave the youth to go search. Speaking aloud if those dogs started chewing Edmund dress shoes or one of anything else for his closet out of boredom. He wasn't covering for them since his parents weren't as forgiving as Edmund was toward his property being destroyed.
He quieted when the scent of burned human flesh and sighting Ashe Grey hair had him stopping outside the lounge's doorway. Standing above his baby cousin's playpen with a pale skinned woman holding a Victorian baby rattle above Martin. Her chose in clothing was mixture of modesty from Victorian area among modern day piece of clothing. Who cooed back at Martin with each time he happily giggled back at her with his little arms reaching out to the rattle. Which had Riesgraf look to where the dogs would have been and spotted them with a familiar face in corner of the room. A male candy stripper he met in the hospital with the last name Wales came to his mind when he looked fellow teen over. Who shyly waved at Riesgraf from across the room as he gave attention to Eberhardt, by handing them treats.
"Invasion is against the law since my Uncle Edmund does his business through a strict appointment only policy." Riesgraf rested his arms at his side. " Anaxagorou isn't one to dapple in the supernatural side of Hellsalem's Lot."
"Youngest Von Reinherz's first born knows his relatives well." The woman teased.
"He also has a strong take on both his parents combat styles." The other teen spoke.
"May I asked why the Alter-World's most notorious Witch and her son are here?" Riesgraf asked.
"I need to speak to your parents." She answered. "How can I get a hold of them?"
Being notified about the rise of magical related robberies and rare artifacts when visiting Hellsalem's Lot's Justice of the Peace. Klaus and Lady Taliyah were quietly getting married without a huge ceremony with so many people attending. They had to an agreement that protecting the balance between Earth and the Alter-World was more important. Affair was kept small and being quickly occurrencing with Dog Hummer & Deldro Brody acting as their witnessing. Just after going through the process to become husband and wife in company of police officers, Warren, and a special privilege convict. Mr. Daniel Law would have trouble getting hold of the newlyweds, since Klaus and Lady Taliyah only answered their phones for extreme emergencies. Getting a hold of Mr. Starphase after a work day and on his own phone was a challenge. Notion of a special privilege convict being allowed to carry a mobile device was against the prison's existing rules. Left only one person to accept a phone call from unlisted number that Klaus and Lady Taliyah knew by looking a the flashing screen. Had them answering the phone in middle Gilbert taking their pictures outside JotP's office. When the name Heather Wales and a business called Bewitchment was brought up in list of places stolen from.
A phone call to a home line belonging to Edmund was made and picked up by someone that wasn't their son.
"If your don't want a frog or Blood Breed as your first born Mr. Von Reinherz." A titillating voice warns him and Lady Taliyah. "Cut your good deed for day short and see you when you get here."
Were the last words either Klaus and Lady Taliyah heard despite Riesgraf calling them in the background as dogs were barking. Would end when the phone would end up being hung up on Klaus before he could get a single sentence out. Had him crushing that phone, that wasn't his, out of pure angry toward a possible fear of coming true for him. If calming hands didn't take hold of his hand, that grasped a crushed phone and reminded him that she was here also. To only have their moment interrupted by Dog Hummer complimenting the pair while asking if he could ever meet this son. Which was left to Klaus as Lady Taliyah would call Anaxagorou's private line to inform him and Edmund of this news. Wouldn't take long when she told them about invaders to their house and threat toward the children inside. Was all that was needed for them leave the formal gathering that they were attending and return home in a rush.
Edmund's driving was more reckless when he sharply turned corners and bypassed street lights just when they turned yellow. Anaxagorou just wanted to get home before the magical hands of a Alter-World underground most famous witch. Fear of Riesgraf being turned into a Blood Breed with a flicker of her wrist fueled the rough ride down fog covered streets. Weaving in and out of cars that made up traffic at a careful pace that caused horns to be honked and people to yell. A few fenders were side swift and side panels were scratched or dented from front or back of his car. Edmund's car did take some damage from all these dangerous driving stunt from crushed taillights to impressions and dings. GPS and radio antennas would end up being knocked off as doors got smashed after a few hits and ramming.
Was worth all the damage when Edmund pulled into the drive way and practically ripped the door to driver's side off. When he exited his own car with Anaxagorou already out and whistling to get Eberhardt to him as he looked around. What he got was Eberhardt whining as he scrambled through gate to his side with ears flatten to their heads. Stone golems in the shape of a Komainu with glowing red eyes looking over their fence at them creeped Anaxagorou out. Edmund was already loosening his tie by pulling at the knot with creases forming on his forehead, upper lip slowly rising, and his nostrils widening. Ready to step forward and remove the self- moving yard decorations by force with his plans ruined.
"Stay clear of the house and don't trash the area I have sectioned off." Anaxagorou warned him.
"The dog area for Eberhardt?" Edmund asked in snarled tone.
"Yea and please be careful." Anaxagorou looked at the Komainu. "Try to leave one of them intact since one would make a great guard dog."
Anaxagorou would take the side entrance in the first floor of their house with Eberhardt following right behind him. Free floating globs of metallic substance started to form around him when he walked straight through without stopping. Stopping when he could smell cinders and sight of a woman with Ashe Grey hair pinned a small low bun with a bouffant. All black clothing and clean way she wore her makeup didn't distract him from the armrest she sat on. Beside her is where her son sat hugging a pillow with Riesgraf sitting opposite of his with series of rune levitating above his head.
"Call off the hex." Anaxagorou brought his metallic globs forward.
"Where is the rest of the pack?" She asked not pleased to see him. "I kinda need the woman and man that made him."
"They're getting married." He answered. "We're watching him and his baby brother until their return."
"Happily ever after." She happily breathes out. "I was like that before I turned Victor's father into a frog."
Young man next to Riesgraf would with her on that topic by moving his head to the side with amused smile on his face. Who adjusted his hands on his lap while his mother verbally reminisced happier times she had when her husband was around. Would end when a doorbell went off and left her get to her heeled feet and send her shadow to answer the door. Her son was the one that had to get off the sofa when Anaxagorou's metallic globs neared where Riesgraf sat. Watching the orbs form halo made of small diamonds with made a inner ring within the runes that were still above his head. A comment about a double halo would have come from the young man after he gave his name being Victor Wales. In to the room and on to the occupied sofa Lady Taliyah hurriedly rushed in dressed in a Victorian wedding gown with lace sleeve. Wearing a small fur capelet, white beret, and elbow length gloves would sit beside her son. Gloves finger tip on one of his cheek as her eyes looked toward the double halo that spun above his head like a carousal.
"Mom." Riesgraf quietly complimented his mother. "You look like a angel."
"Despite that hex floating above your head." She softly peered into her son's eyes. "Your a sight for worried eyes."
She went on to explain that Klaus was handling Heather as they spoke as calmly as he could knowing as any time what she could do. Knowing Klaus diplomatic enough to have a decent conversation with a women like Heather to release their son. Using his good-natured and civilized style when carrying on a conversation about taking on her case to ease her off her threat. Verbally sharing he didn't like how she got their attention to without going through the proper channels to file a complaint. Bringing up the he wasn't visiting city hall for her work related issue with his state dress being to formal for such a time. Instead he was there for a private appoint he and Lady Taliyah had made within the first months of the New Year during holiday season. Touched her since she heard from through underground Alter- World gossip vine about their long engagement. Speaking and directing her from front entrance back to the downstairs living room where everyone else had been sitting.
"You have to let me brew you a fertility potion." She offered a belay wedding gift.
"We're fine." Klaus assured her.
Heather's son was the one that pointed out Lady Taliyah most of recently given birth to child when he brought up that width of her hips. Stating their were a bit wider from time he seen her in person as a candy stripper in the hospital just year ago. Blush that formed on Lady Taliyah's face followed by Riesgraf staring at a fellow teen with widen eyes. Anaxagorou adjusting the brim of his hat in rather uncomfortable and Eberhardt ran out of the room with tail tucked.
"Sweetie!" Heather tilted her head toward him with her teeth clenched. "What have I told you about making those kind of comments?"
"She still attractive and defiantly a MILF." He answered her.
Coughing noise that Klaus made had teen looking to Riesgraf for a hint on what he did before noticing the blush on Lady Taliyah's face. Her face turned away from and staring at her folded hands within her lap to realize what he said. About to open his mouth to apologize for making the inappropriate comment about notice the changes in her figure. She held up a lace glove covered hand as she turned her head to face him with a small smile on her face before she spoke.
"He's name is Vinzent Von Reinherz and in the care of our nanny." Lady Taliyah spoke of their new addition. "Looks just like his father."
"More like a Fugly mini- version of Uncle Edmund had mated with a Kathrine." Riesgraf thought about his baby brother. "LeClaire is the only one cute one."
Anaxagorou laughed at the image of Edmund and Kathrine ever showing a moment of passion to create a love child. Lady Taliyah shook her head back and fourth with a hand to hide her smile as Klaus quite disturb at what his son said. Heather was happily amused about Riesgraf said about his siblings before walking a way from Klasu and signaling to him.
"You have 72 hours for your private affairs." Heather offered Klaus some free way. "Then I'll be back."
Her son would be right behind her as she moved one of her gloved fingers around to preform a basic portal spell. Would bring fourth a stone linen entry way in the middle of the living room with a swirling center made of energy.
"Have a nice day." She would ended up saying her farewells.
Her son would just wave at them before leaping into the portal with a yahoo on his lips and disappeared from their sights. She would soon follow informing Klaus she would be delivering a few gifts for congrats on his wedding after his 72 hours are up. Before she stepped into her own portal and ended up dissolving into countless partials of light clasping in on themselves. The portal then disappeared and left everyone in a state of silence in dimly lit room.

Plans were for Mr. Starphase to run Libra while Klaus and Lady Taliyah went over seas Von Reinherz estate for their honeymoon. Take a scenic drive in a unmarked town car with a nameless chauffeur after a private flew them in. Settle in the guest house a few miles away from the main house and have MANY private moments. Not caring about their children at all since Edmund and Anaxagorou would be looking after them, whole time. Klaus' plants would be watered and house would watched by Leo with Gilbert and the maid staying behind to help. Went all up in flames when Heather turned her head her way about this magical items robbery and paid them visit. Leaving Klaus and Lady Taliyah to bring a bottle of champagne to Libra's office to Leo's surprise. He would have said something about why they were still here if Zapp didn't beat him to the chase
"The ashe witch made an appearance." Lady Taliyah informed him. "Ever slept with her? Since her son has this lovely tresses of white hair."
Mr. Starphase would come to agree with Lady Taliyah about Zapp having relations with the Alter-World's most notorious witch. Putting his phone down after sending a massive text that was work related active Libra agents with a smirk on his face. Getting up from his seat with one of his hands in his pants pocket while taking hold of a wrapped box. He would carry over to the occupied table where Lady Taliyah and Klaus sat in their usual seat watching him.
"Here." He placed the gift on Klaus' desk. "Enjoy the wedding gift."
"Thank you so much." Lady Taliyah was touched.
Klaus would reach out and end up pulling at the wrappings taped onto the box to reveal a beautiful Forever Ice Crystal Frame inside. The inside where a picture goes was blank with a hand written note addressed to them with a touching message. Had Lady Taliyah suggesting they put their only wedding picture inside once they get back home after this. Was something Klaus would agree to doing when he felt her gentle breath on his side burns when she whispered into his ear. All that was needed for his grip on his chair's armrest to tighten and posture to straighten up with widen eyes. Shivers that started to ran up and down his spinal cord while swirling feelings of arousal start spinning in his head. That small smile that would spread across a side of his face for only a chosen few to notice was all Lady Taliyah needed.
"Steven this is very nice of you." Klaus was also thankful toward Mr. Starphase.
Gilbert would end up taking the gift from Klaus and Lady Taliyah when he was delivering their morning tea with few extra treats. Zapp grew quiet after the comment made by Mr. Starphase about being sex friends with woman like Heather. Made him get off his seat and with his hands shoved into pockets of his pant as he inched his way to Klaus' desk. Taking a puff of the cigar in his mouth while not trying to take a look at gander at Lady Taliyah's crossed legs or cleavage.
"Here's to your happy union." He pulled out a pack of Cuban cigars and dropped on the desk.
"You know he doesn't smoke." Lady Taliyah leans with half grin of disbelief of her own. "I don't either."
"We do need to thank Edmund for his help." Klaus reminds her.
"Then I'll take them." Anaxagorou walked into the office.
Eberhardt walking beside him with all three heads just staring at Zapp and the smoke he was breathing out of his nostrils. Zapp becomes frozen out of pure fear of what those three heads could do to him as Anaxagorou stopped a few feet from him.
"Edmund and I would like to make an offer to watch your kids." Anaxagorou spoke of their gift. "We think you two need the alone time."
Zapp took the opportunity to say something to Anaxagorou about when he and Edmund were going to walk down the aisle. Making a joke about how Anaxagorou would be the one the white wedding styled dress with back view and slit. Willing to introduce him to one of his many friends with benefits to get such a dress as a surprise to Edmund by tonight. Got him smacked on the back of his head by a metallic whip from a quiet Anaxagorou not moving a single muscle.
"Come by the house after work and we'll have them packed." Lady Taliyah took Anaxagorou up on the offer. "That's very nice of you."
