The Farmhouse

Koln looks back as Lacey returns to the house, looking through the open window. "What do you mean? Clover's probably waiting for us, and I do not want to keep her waiting."

Lacey looks back at Koln and says "Wait right there, this will only take a minute." She winks at Koln before heading out the door of the room and into the hallway.

Ruby

The owl says "Well, you helped me out so I will do this favor for you."

The owl flies off into the trees. Ruby leads Dusk back onto the road where Clover is waiting by the truck.

Ruby waves her arms excitedly at Clover. "Hey there," she says with a smile. "You wouldn't believe who I found!" She walks over to Clover after she pats Dusk's muzzle.
"Unfortunately its not Bothwell, but remarkable someone from that haunted Emerson House, William Emerson!" she said while crossing her arms confidently. "I think we ought to show him that horseshoe because it might hold a great significance to him, but we need to be careful because he isn't too pleased that we are here, oh yea.." she started as she pulled Clover's cell phone out and handed it over. "I called Lacey when I spotted him, and good thing too because it wouldn't look very good if he noticed them in the house.. I hope they return real soon because he will be here in a few minutes."

The Farmhouse

Koln looks back as Lacey returns to the house, looking through the open window. "What do you mean? Clover's probably waiting for us, and I do not want to keep her waiting."

Koln sits outside the house impatiently waiting and checking a watch he thinks is on his wrist. Lacey had vanished into the hallway to do who-knows-what. A moment later Koln hears someone coming back to the room. He ducks down just below the window sill and peeks in. Seeing that it is Lacey he gets up again. There's something different about her though. She walks slowly back to the window but she keeps stopping and giggling to herself. Koln notices that she has one hand behind her back like she is hiding something from his view. As she nears the window Koln reaches in his coat and feels the handle of his gun. All of a sudden Lacey throws a pair of striped pajama pants at Koln and it lands on his head covering his face. From the smell of things they belonged to the old man.

Koln takes the pants off his head and holds them out in front of him. Lacey climbs out of the window and quietly shuts it behind her, still giggling to herself. "You now....I've always wanted to do that!" she says now laughing out loud.

Sorry, I wanted to do this whole little bit in one shot so I took control of Koln a little there.

...
"You called Lacey... for that?"
Clover's eyes shut painfully as she schooled her discipline to not yell at Ruby. She wanted to scream, "Trouble! I said... only call if there's trouble! As in, 'Hi, this is Ruby and I'm facing down a werewolf!' Or, 'Hi, this is Ruby and I'm facing down some psycho vampire hunter who wants to KILL me!' "
While thinking through all the things she wanted to say--sorry, yell--she clenched and unclenched her fists, finally standing up straight and proper, her face the disciplined image of calm.
She took a breath, "You say Emerson's on his way? Well, don't worry about Lacey and Koln. I'll be sure to give that son-of-a-bitch what's coming to him for that damned haunted house. I think he'll be too busy having some explaining to do to care about our friends."
A vein on her temple twitched.
She was ready for a fight.
Verbally, at least.

Koln takes the pants off his head and holds them out in front of him. Lacey climbs out of the window and quietly shuts it behind her, still giggling to herself. "You now....I've always wanted to do that!" she says now laughing out loud.

"You always wanted to take the pants off of a man? Well, I knew you were pure of heart, my sense of people's morality is as keen as it ever was. Praise the Lord that is one of my few faculties that have not been corroded by my vampiric insanity. "Even so, I expect to hear confession from you soon. For now your penance is to return those pants to that old man. His nether regions must be cold and God will not forgive you if he should freeze to death." Koln crosses his arms, showing that he means business. "I will meet you back at the truck when you are done, go with God." Koln abruptly turns and heads back to the truck. "... I hope Lacey won't mind if I drive."

Lacey sulks and walks back towards the house with the pants opening the window again and climbing inside. Koln returns to the truck where the other girls are and begins to wonder why all of his companions are women.

Koln smiles as he approaches Ruby and Clover, "Well I think our job is done here. Those pants will be safely returned, no harm done. We can happily report our success to Edward tomorrow evening. Bothwell shouldn't be giving that old man any more trouble. No more blood in his wine, and no more freezing cold nether-regions. Once Lacey returns we can all head back." He leans back against the truck, arms crossed, his face beaming with accomplishment. God only knows what he thinks he just did.

"Glad your back Koln," Ruby said as she smiled weakly, still not sure what to think about earlier events, but she was thankful he was unharmed. She wasn't sure what to make of the de-pantsing story, which she then shook her head to, but something else he said caught her attention. "Wait, did you just say blood in the wine? Clover that sounds similar to what you had to do with Mindy and all. We might have a bloodslave living here, that must mean.. he may be William's," she pondered aloud. She crossed her arms. "At any rate, we cannot leave just yet, we have been found by William Emerson from that creepy house, who is indeed a vampire now. He's coming this way, and I hope my other 'friend' arrives soon before he does.." she said with concern.

 

[izillama]

'Does Ruby even know that's how I tricked Mindy? Oh well...'
"Um... I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about, but I'm glad you're back, Koln. Yeah, a lot's been going on here without you. Ruby ran into Emerson! Can you believe it? Gee, I wonder how that happened?"
Clover extracted the horseshoe from her bag and gave it a dirty look, "Frankly, I'm not sure whether I can breathe easier now that I know it was probably this piece of junk or if I should just be concerned because I was hearing voices. But oh well, it's all water under the bridge now, yes?"
She replaced the horseshoe, muttering to herself about something that sounded suspiciously like, "...damned rich bastard who thinks he can jerk us around in his ******* lovely haunted house then leave us standing outside his damned miserable farmhouse while he wanders around like a lost soul in the woods..."
Clover became suddenly--scarily--chipper, "So, anyway, now we're just waiting for him to meet up with us! Oh boy, I can't wait to give him a piece of my mind!" She smiled and laughed a little creepily, pounding her fist into her palm for emphasis. "By the way, where's Lacey?"

While everyone is talking the owl comes out of the woods and perches a distance away. It seems like he is cautious about all the people that have gathered around the truck. Ruby can tell that he wants her to approach him and assuming she does he perches on her arm.

The owl says to you "That blond man. He went out into the clearing and another blond man with longer hair came out and gave him something. I don't know what it was. The blond man put whatever it was into a bag on the horse and the two men parted. The blond man is coming this way on foot. This is what you asked and I wish you the best of luck"

The owl flies off into the woods. Lacey seems to appear out of nowhere next to Koln and Clover. "You know, giving that old man his pants back wasn't nearly as easy as taking them off!" she says angrily.
