Ch 10
Dermot walked inside with the bags as Kian and Morrigan followed.
"I'm glad you managed to get away. I can't say I'm too sorry to hear of Niall's sudden departure." Cataliades said with a toothy grin. "I kept all of your interests managed. I sold the house in LA after the Cullens got in to check on you. At the time I wasn't sure if you were running from them but Niall contacted me and said you choose Faery." Maggie huffed as Diantha sat cross legged on the floor with the twins watching TV. "I've kept Claude's house for you. He left it to the twins in his will as was the agreement with Claudette and Claudine before they died. A small portion of his money went to Hunter Savoy, the son of Sookie's cousin Hadley. Another small money was given to Sookie but the majority of the money was put into the a trust for your children." Maggie took a seat at the kitchen table as the lawyer pulled out a bunch of forms.
"I was able to transfer your signature onto documents but I would like some authentic ones to keep on file." Maggie signed the forms in front of her as Dermot stood in the doorway watching what was going on. "Your properties in Boston and New York have been maintained as well as your houses in Dublin and Sligo Ireland. I have not been in the Irish residences but to close them up 5 years ago. I hired a family to monitor the upkeep and the money was transfered from your savings in Switzerland that your father set up for you. Both of your children's college funds have gone untouched except for the yearly deposits of 10 thousand from your father's trust." Maggie nodded.
"Thank you, Desmond. I'm grateful for everything you've done in my absence." Maggie said with a smile. Diantha came into the room and made a motion as Desmond frowned.
"Diantha says we have a vampire visitor." Dermot tensed as Maggie went to the front door and glanced through the peephole to see three vampires.
"Get them out of here." She said as the demon lawyer and his niece each grabbed one of the twins and made their way into the basement.
Maggie looked to the wall and reached up for the silver sword Claudine kept there. Dermot went into the kitchen and grabbed two knives. Maggie slowly opened the door as the vampires lurched forward but were stopped by the protection spell on the house.
"Aren't you going to invite me in?" A tall asked with a slight growl.
"When hell freezes over. What the fuck are you doing here?" Maggie said moving into a fighting position.
"Someone smells yummy and we want em." Dermot gripped the knives as Maggie heard Morrigan yell to be let go. Maggie glanced at Dermot and gave him a nod as she stepped in front of the house pushing the protection spell back.
"Fairy? No way." A shorter male with a mohawk said with an evil grin as a blonde haired woman snarled.
"I'm going to end the three of you. You first then those two." Maggie said glancing at Dermot who looked petrified.
Maggie leapt into the air breaking through the spell and slashing the cheek of the mohawked vampire. He let out a howl as the silver burned him. Dermot put out his hands muttering something. Maggie swung the sword quickly beheading the female who was in shock. The taller male lunged forward as Maggie lifted the sword impaling him and lifted upwards cutting him in two. As she turned the wounded vampire jumped behind her and Maggie smirked as she spun to face him. He began to run but Maggie took off after him knowing if he escaped other vampires would come. Her pace matched his and with a wide swing his head was gone and Maggie came to a halt. She turned and jogged back to the house watching the bodies disintegrate in the street. Dermot looked at Maggie who had some vampire blood on her face and shirt. He hung his head and walked into the house as Maggie wiped the blade on her shirt and hung it back on the wall.
"You could have died." He said dropping the knives in his hand as he paced.
"I can handle myself." Maggie walked upstairs to Claudine's room and grabbed a shirt then washed her face before changing. She tossed the dirty one in a small trash bin when she came down stairs.
"It's my fault. They smelled me." Maggie shrugged.
"We're good. They're dead." Maggie opened the basement door as the twins jumped into their mother's arms.
"Dead?" Desmond asked as Diantha walked to the window and nodded.
