Once Phobos arrived in his room, he tossed Stef down on to his bed.

"How do you know them?" He demanded.

Stef was in shock. They had been in an alleyway and now they were in a lush bedroom and she was tossed onto a bed. Her fear and anger were mixing.

"How do you know them?" She demanded back. "Are you with The Holt?"

Phobos was confused. "What are you talking about? What holt? Look I know you have an untapped power. Where does it come from? Is that why they are after you?"

"Power? What power? I don't have any power. They were after me because they work for my father. He wants to drag me back to get married." She was so confused and scared. How can everything come crashing down all at once?

Phobos took a deep breath. He knew that her panic would not help. "Alright. We will take this slow. You can stay here while you catch your breath. Then we can talk."

"What? Are you kidnapping me? I don't know where here is? How did we get here?" Her panic was hitting hyper drive.

But, Phobos was losing his patience. "You know, I did just save your life. The least you could do is thank me for it."

A memory flashed through Stef's head of how her father would say something similar to her mother. Not that she needed the manipulation to give the man sex. Her mother was completely brainwashed where her father was concerned.

Stef's eyes widened as her fears completely took over. She looked around the large bed with black silk sheets. Was Phobos like her father? "Do you seriously expect me to grovel and have sex with you because you kidnapped me?"

"Seriously? That is what you think of me?" Phobos stormed out of the room and slammed the door behind him.

Deimos and Jenna were in bed when they heard the door to Phobos's room slam shut.

"This can't be good. I will go check on him." Deimos said as he climbed out of bed and conjured pajama bottoms over himself.

Deimos went down stairs in search of Phobos where he found him getting a beer from the fridge. Phobos's anger was high enough that it actually gave Deimos's a run for its money. But, instead of lashing out, Phobos was withdrawn.

Deimos grabbed a beer as well. "Wanna talk about it?"

"Nope. It's all your fault." Phobos walked passed him toward the front door and over to the living room. He debated leaving the house entirely and going to Tartarus. But, he could feel his powers weakening. He could not go back as he was, no one could know he was weakened.

His mother was right. Relationships were too much of a risk. And this was not even a real relationship.

Stef had finally gathered herself together enough to try the door. She was surprised when the door was not locked after all. Was this a trick? She grabbed a heavy brass bowl from the dresser top and prepared to fight her way out of whatever place Phobos had taken her to. But, when she opened the door, she found herself in Jenna's house with Jenna scowling at her in the hallway.

"Stef? What is going on?" Jenna asked as she wrapped her robe around herself.

Without thinking, Stef dropped the bowl and ran to hug the one person that seemed somewhat normal in all of the events of the evening.

"Oh honey, you are shaking in fear. Come on. We will take care of you." Jenna conjured her cell phone into her robe pocket and pulled it out to call Essie while she soothed Stef. "Essie, things have not gone according to plan. Can Deimos pick you up? Yeah, now. Thanks."

Deimos started to stalk up the stairs toward Stef. His anger was palpable. Stef could not help but notice all of his taught muscles that seemed to flex with his anger and the scars all over his flesh. He was even more intimidating at that moment, like he was hunting her.

Jenna felt Stef tense. "Deimos my love, could you please jump on over to Essie's and pick her up? I am going to call Ash and Thorn. We need to have a family pow-wow."

"Do you understand what she has done to my brother?" He snarled.

"I do. And I am sorry for that. But, this is bigger than bruised egos at this point." Jenna said calmly.

"What could possibly bigger than my brother being weakened?"

Jenna sighed. "The Ice Giants are trying to end the world, and use Stef to do it." That succeeded in getting Deimos's attention. "Once we talk, I am hoping that we can rebuild what was damaged here. But, I need Essie here to help us do that."

Deimos nodded his head. And in a moment of bright light, he was gone. Jenna growled. "Really love? In front of her? That was so not helpful."

Stef just stared at the spot that Deimos had just been standing. Her heart was racing and she was breathing too fast. Her eyes were as big as saucers as she started to back away from Jenna. Without another option, Jenna reached over and tapped Stef on the forehead and the woman fell asleep. Jenna left her on the floor while she made a few calls and set everything up.

Acheron answered his phone on the first ring. "What's up Jenna?"

"Sorry to bother you Ash, but it appears we have a fairly big problem. Do you think you can come over for a debriefing?"

"Sure. I was just helping Tory put the kids to bed. I can pop on over when I am done."

"Thanks."

Next call was to Thorn. He was not as punctual on answering as Ash. "Who is this?"

Jenna rolled her eyes. "It's Jenna. We met at Karma's last month."

"The Egyptian demigod?"

"Yeah, that's me. So, question. How up are you on Norse Ice Giants and other mythology?"

There was a pause. "Well, for the most part, we don't mess with them and they don't mess with us. Why?"

"Well, would you like to come over to my house and learn about it all with Ash?" Jenna gave him directions and closed her phone just as Deimos returned with Essie.

Carr paused as he heard the sounds of sex on the other side of the door. It was never a good idea to interrupt Kol when he was getting his freak on. But, once it sounded like they both climaxed, Carr knocked, hoping that they were really done.

The door flew open to show Kol who had not bothered to cover up. The man was 6'4" and very heavily muscled. His shoulder length dark brown hair fell in loose waves while his golden brown eyes burned with the anger of having been interrupted.

"This had better be really damn important." Kol snarled.

Carr braced himself for what had to be done. "She is in New Orleans. We saw her, but lost her."

Kol growled. "What do you mean you lost her?"

"She was being protected by a Greek god."

Carr went flying backwards and into his brother Bard as Kol attacked them. The two Ice Giants were barely still conscious by the time Kol's anger eased enough to stand up again. "Get yourselves up and take as many others as you need to find her and bring her to me."

Kol returned to the room he had just left. His anger riled him up for another round with Lucy.

"What is it baby?" She asked as she set to work tending to his returning erection.

"Looks like your daughter should be home again soon." He smiled.

Lucy looked up. "Am I planning the wedding again?" She looked so hopeful.

"Oh yes."
