---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lovelace Manor ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everyone needs someplace to call their own and the Lovelace clan is no exception. Though they may live in separate homes when needed; the manor is the main home in LA. Merry is the current matriarch being the oldest and she has full control of the estate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- History -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The history of the home dates back to the 1880's when the original family moved west from Boston in 1881. They had the money and skills to build something that is still a historical landmark and have managed to keep the place up to date with amenities on the inside while retaining its historic beauty. For all this tragedy has struck the home on numerous occasions. Merry's mother was murdered in the house and the room she died in has been sealed away with only her absent father with a key to it. What secrets lie hidden there? Only the observant will notice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Residents -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Merry Grace Lovelace
- Sienna Lovelace
- Leila Lovelace

The sun had just gone down about an hour or so and her shift had ended about the same amount of time ago. So, Sienna was all welcome to go home and get some actual rest. Maybe even get some reading done and just have quality time with Merry. Hopefully. She had done an afternoon shift and would have to be back at the hospital at 5 the next morning. Yes, her hours sucked, but she wasn't going to complain, as she loved her job. She always had and the hospital here in LA was really nice, it had everything for her to make her wish she would and could stay.
Staying meant that she had to give up her search for her sister, which on one part kind of bugged her. But, on the other.. Lelia was a grown woman and she could take care of herself. She didn't need her to clean up after herself.. Or, at least, she hoped. They were still witches and for all Sienna knew, she could be in trouble just as easily. But then again, she could be okay just as easily too.
She sighed and parked her car in the garage, before making her way up to the actual Manor. It really had been one of those days where she was happy to come home. To her family. Or, what was left of it, anyway. And the Manor always had something really appealing that she loved. And one of the chairs in the corner of the living room had something appealing too, that made her smile as well. She liked the chair, as weird as it sounded, 'cause you could really snuggle up into it and read a book or something. ”I'm home!” She called, unsure whether or not Merry was home.
It kept being a really generous gesture that she could live here. Especially when she had said she wanted to settle into one place for longer then a month tops. Merry really didn't have to let her live here, but she still had and she was still more then happy with it. She pulled off her shoes, which she left in the hallway and walked into the living room, sitting down on the chair she had just happily thought of. Yes, she was a kid sometimes. But, in her opinion, she could do just this, as she had a long day at work where she felt the want to strangle most of her co-workers.. Okay, she might even had the urge to, but she still hadn't and kept smiling, which on its own was a very draining thing to do, because it didn't come off as natural. Unlike whenever she was with her family or with her friends, then she just kept smiling as she loved her time with them. The same counted for her patients. There had to be a reason why she loved her job anyway.

Slipping in from the library Merry saw Sienna curled up in a yellow wingback chair and chuckled. It had always been her favorite and Merry saw no reason to dislodge her from it. She walked over to the hall and put Sienna's shoes back in her room. This was just part of the everyday ritual they went through and Merry was no stranger to it. She winced and looked over at her cousin, her hand still hurt where Connor had bitten her. The muscle still hurt from the puncture wound and it had been a few days since she had visited EVerett.
"Hey, Sienna. Got enough nursing energy to help me rebandage my hand? I swear it was the damndest thing a vampire in the library just biting my hand." she hadn't named said vampire but her father was very angry, not at her but at the vampire who had bitten her. He'd actually come out of hiding and been helping her with her hand.
"How did your day go? Did you get a chance to meet some good people?" she asked her quietly as she saw her cousin relaxing gently, "I swear I've gone from spinster to suddenly popular in one day. Its positively abnormal for me. Dad is going to freak out when I tell him." she said softly to her cousin and tried to stay still. Sienna had all sorts of magical and non magical things up her sleeve.

Sienna couldn’t help but smile, once she saw Merry. When she came in, she however slightly bit her lip at the way her cousin winced. ”Hey, Mer. Of course I can.. Are you okay?” She asked as she got up from the chair with a worried look on her face. ”Let me just get the first-aid kit.” She then walked to the kitchen, to where she had last seen it.
She then walked back. ”My day went okay.. Well, considering that we had a car-crash I had to help with. But, I did meet this girl, I think her name was Claire. She got attacked and well, she seemed nice enough, so I absolutely didn’t like seeing her like that. Not that I like seeing anyone like that, though.” She said, as she got a chair that she sat down on, waiting for Merry to sit still. It wasn’t that unusual for her to re-bandage wounds. And she never complained. ”Now, sit still and show me your arm, so I can re-bandage it.” She said, as she looked at Merry patiently and gently at the same time.
Sienna smiled at what Merry said and pulled up the sleeve gently. ”Then don’t tell him? You can just say it was an accident, I’d cover for you if you need me to.” She said as she went on to re-bandage the wound, not even wincing at how it looked. ”We’d better keep an eye on the wound, it looks like it can get infected if not looked after with the proper care.”

Merry bit her lip as Sienna checked the wound, "I poured holy water over it and healing salve but it got the muscle so it still hurts. I think I got to it in time though. I don't feel any different." she admitted as she brushed her hair out of her face with her good hand. "I just feel like a complete idiot. I've never been bit before its just kind of freaking me out a little bit."
"Claire sounds like a nice girl. If you run into her invite her over. You need to get out more, Missy." she said with a soft loving chuckle to her cousin, "Us girls are all shut ins and its not healthy. Dad says so. Though he also is protective so I'm not sure what he is expecting." she sighed and looked at Sienna as she bandaged her hand.
"I'll introduce him to them. You know how dad hates when we keep things from him. I don't feel right lying to him you know? He's done so much for us it seems like a betrayal of his trust to not be completely honest. Besides you know I'm old fashioned. I'm not gonna do anything before I'm married. Too many weirdos want to make it with a librarian." she shuddered. The library was open to the public and sometimes she heard what the college guys said to her. She wondered how much of it they knew she heard.

”Let’s hope so. I really do wish I had some witchy healing powers, now.” Sienna said, as she looked at the wound. While she bandaged the wound, she listened to what Merry said and looked up with a slight smile. ”Don’t worry about it, it can happen to everyone. Especially in a magic crowded city as LA.”
Sienna then nodded. ”She is, although I do believe her to be a witch as well. Just like us. She had a knife of which I believe it was an athame.” She then smiled and looked up, after finishing up her work. ”You’re right, but so do you. We just need to go out more.. There are plenty of clubs to go to anyway. I’m sure your papa won’t mind us going out. Besides, we’re adults, right? What can happen?”
”You’re right, I just hate it to see you getting into trouble over something totally not your fault. I mean, how could it have been your fault you were attacked?” She shook her head, as she thought about the sense of duty and trustworthiness Merry always carried with her. It was something she only wished she had. But then again, Sienna didn’t care about lying at all. No, to the contrary, she found it to be needed in certain situations. ”Then dress differently, some of your dresses are really low-cut.”

Merry shook her head, "I suppose you're right." she murmured as she looks at him and continues to wince at Sienna's ministration. She sighed and stayed still. "I suppose I thought that I wouldn't get hurt." she tilted her head at Sienna, "Not sure which club I should go to." she admitted as she thought about what they might want to do. "Can you picture our family going there en masse? We'd take over the bar. Maybe you could invite the new girl?" She grinned and winced again, "Hey I don't wear things THAT low cut and don't tell me that you believe that crap about what a girl wears causes problems? The guy that bit me didn't do it because I was wearing a low cut dress." she pointed out to her, "If all of us go together I suppose it would be good." she sighed and then shifted as the wound was covered with fresh gauze "Thanks, Come on lets get Dad to order Chinese." she said as she moved into another room.
