Chapter six…nothing really interesting but its words. Don't hate cause its short :P

Mary-Lynnette's heart pounded enthusiastically as Maggie explained where they could go.

"Lord Thierry's mansion." She said with a smile. "Imagine, a whole bunch of Night World people could be there to protect us, and we could spend time with our families. It's a win, win situation."

"Excellent." Delos agreed smiling at his soul mate. "We could all go there soon."

"We're going to have too." Jez agreed. "Christmas is only a week away."

Christmas at Thierry's? Mary-Lynnette Maybe Mark is still there, and he could invite Dad and Claudine and Ash would be there. This is too perfect!

And it was, in less then an hour, the seven teens and one little girl, planned out there trip to go in the next day. Quickly Jez searched up plane flights and ordered tickets for all of them to come, except for Val and Thistle.

"We want to spend Christmas with Raven." Val said as Jez ordered the tickets.

"She hasn't been feeling that great recently." Thistle agreed sadly. "We have no idea what happened to her."

After that, Mary-Lynnette had the privilege of calling Lord Thierry himself and pitching their plan to him.

"It would only be a week and a half, maybe less. And we all could be protected and have an amazing Christmas." Mary-Lynnette told him over the phone, shooting anxious looks at her friends.

"Of course you can invite your families here for the holidays." Thierry said with gleefully. "I can't wait to tell Mark and the rest of them you're all coming down."

"Great. I miss everyone so much, even though it's only been a few days." Mary-Lynnette replied happily.

"Actually it's been pretty quiet around here for the past week." Thierry replied. "A very long week at that."

"A week?" Mary-Lynnette repeated looking back at Maggie and Morgead who were waiting for her at the table. It had only been a few days since she left her friends in Vegas, hadn't it?

"Yes." Thierry replied. "I'm going to start getting the rooms ready, why don't you call me back when you figure out how many people are coming alright?"

"Okay." Mary-Lynnette agreed. "See you soon."

She hung up the phone and turned back to her friends. "How long was I asleep?"

"Four days." They said in unison.

Mary-Lynnette's eyes widened. Four days? She thought. Why could she have been sleeping for four strait days? Probably jet leg or something like that… Mary-Lynnette told herself. Now go plan you're Christmas!

. . .

Time seemed to be on Mary-Lynnette's side this time because her day went by fast and soon she was on a plane going back to Vegas. She turned back to Cassandra who was clutching her bunny and Maggie's arm. After she told Thierry how many people were going to be staying at his mansion -a lot of people- she talked to Mark for hours. He told her that Ash had been going around town, day and night to find Lily and had barley been at home at all.

I don't get how he does it." Mark replied, his voice a little bit unclear because of the phone. "He just keeps going and going. Its nuts, Mare, but I bet he'll calm down when you get here. Want me to tell him your coming or should we keep it a surprise?"

She told him to tell Ash that she was coming; she wanted no more surprises until the end of the holidays, which still could have been too much to ask. After they hung up she packed like she was leaving at the moment and fell into a long sleep that was filled with zero dreams. But what was curious was that Cassandra wasn't waiting for her as much as before. Every time she saw her she was either hanging onto Thistle's arm or onto someone else's. Had she been getting closer to other people already? She hadn't even been that close to Thea back in Vegas.

With a shrug she laid back into her seat and awaited the long trip back home.

. . .

"Have you gotten a tree yet?" Gillian yelled from the top of the stairs as she jumped down from one to the next. "They're coming in a few hours you know."

"We're working on it!" Mark yelled back pulling open the large double doors then running back to open the next. "Let's see you find a huge tree in the middle of the desert!"

Lupe laughed as she, Quinn, Thierry, Eric, David, Rashel, Keller, and Galen pulled a giant pine tree through the doorway. It was nearly fifty feet tall and brought the cool and tangy scent of tree into the air. Thousands of needles coated the floor as they walked through the giant room and placed the tree up a few feet against a wall.

"Whoa." Gillian said appearing at the bottom of the stairs and staring up. "That's huge."

"No really?" Keller asked wiping needles of her clothes. "It was the biggest one we could find."

"It's going to take forever to decorate." Eric said while David nodded.

Rashel crossed her arms over her chest and stared up. "And we're going to defiantly need a later."

Another few nods from the group, as they stared up at the giant tree.

"Should we get started?" Galen asked with a smile. "It be good to start now."

"I think we should wait." Thea said appearing behind Gillian with Poppy and Rowan, each holding a box of sparkling decorations. "Won't Mary-Lynnette want to help?"

"It's her favorite part." Mark said from next to Lupe. "She would kill us if she couldn't help."

"We could take her." Quinn protested putting an arm around Rashel. "But it would be easier when their here to help."

"So should we decorate the rest of the house now?" Poppy asked placing the box at the floor by her feet.

"Yea." They all agreed, grabbing the decorations and getting to work.

Sorry this ones short, I'm going to work on my Alice in wonderland fic that two other people reviewed. If you want to please read it and tell me what you think? I crave your reviews and I hope that I can put another chapter up today. We'll see.
