She immediately felt cold, the distance between her and them started to gnaw at her for some reason. "Can I help? I have a special way of making the mix." she asked and they both nodded. "Of course," they said in unison giving her space to step between them. Hele joked. Murciél replied. It wasn't direct physical contact but it was enough to ease her mind and soul. She knew the recipe by heart and began mixing the ingredients for the pancakes. "Oh dear, our mate can cook" Hele mused teasingly. "And from scratch. A woman after my own heart" Murciél praised his hand over his heart and the other to the sky as if praising God.

She smiled at their kind words and giggled softly. She realized they were trying to cheer her up and make her feel safe, wanted and welcome. It was a nice change of pace to be honest and it only helped that they were drop dead gorgeous too. Why was she just now noticing? Because she wasn't busy fearing for her life, fighting for it or running.

After she mixed the pancakes the boys decided to take over and let her relax, against her wishes, but they insisted. "Okay so before you put the bacon in the oven, coat the sheet with some brown sugar, lay the bacon, and throw some more on top" Hele did as she instructed to the letter.

"And don't cook all of it fully, take some out, dice it and throw it into the pancake mix" she added. Both men turned to look at her in shock, "are we making bacon pancakes?" Murciél asked like an excited little boy. "Indeed we are good sir" Sara replied with a wide and honest to God smile.

By now the sun had come up and the windows opened letting in all the natural light and Sara got a good look at her saviors. They were both the same height, she guessed them to be at 6'5". They both had a similar complexion to caramel toffee but Murciél's skin was slightly lighter than Hele's. Besides his accent she could tell Murciél was Hispanic and Hele was Native American through and through.

Hele had crystal clear gray eyes whereas Murciél's were light hazel but their lips were both reasonably supple and their smiles melted her heart. They both had jet black hair. Murciél's was wavy and slicked back but it stopped at the nape of his neck if he let it down. Hele's was straight and reached down to his ass. 'At the end of the day they would both be fun to play in' she thought to herself as she watched them cook.

Murciél set the table as Hele finished off the eggs and Sarah helped him bring the food into the dinning area. They all sat and ate quietly at first. She was worried the recipe was off when they had sat there for so long nor saying anything but it tasted fine to her. " Is the food okay?" she hesitantly asked, worried that they didn't like it, her head hung low and eyes averted. "Woman, this is more than okay." Hele started "its fucking divine" Murciél finished. They both groaned in unison trying to clear their plates at a non-ravenous beast's pace. She giggled and went back to her food. "Word of advice, if we're not taking the foods too damn good." Murciél said, "yeah words fly out the window and food into my mouth" Hele added and they all laughed.

Their praise made her giggle and blush softly, she looked down to her meal so they couldn't tell. "Babygirl" Hele called to her "Yes?" she replied but didn't lift her eyes. "Look at me babygirl" he commanded. It was assertive but warm and caring, it made her blush more but she looked up to meet him eye to eye. "Never worry about anything with us and most certainly never hide that adorable and beautiful face of yours. No matter how hard we make you blush. Do you understand?" he said with a smile and shoved more food in his mouth. Sara blushed deeper and almost looked away again and nodded "k" she replied and continued eating.

When they were done eating everyone chipped in to clean up and Sara yawned, the itis hit her fast and hard. Murciél and Hele both looked at her worried and motioned her over to the large couch. They let her sit in between them and took deep breaths. They weren't sure how to start or have this conversation, it's not one they ever wanted or needed to have so they just went with it and would play it safe. Murciél started first "How much do you remember of the last twenty four to forty eight hours?" he asked. He held her left hand and Hele held her right. They both strummed her knuckles with their thumbs and leaned a bit towards her to give her warmth.

"All of it" she answered honestly and they nodded. "Can you tell us how those men got you?" Hele asked. They didn't realize they were holding their breaths until she nodded and explained. "Someone who I thought was a friend invited to live out here with her and said she had a job lined up for me. Jackie Ahnon" she supplied her name " we grew up together in the orphanage" she added explaining their connection. "Anyway, she got me from the bus station when I got in, we went to her house and had some chinese food and wine" she paused for a moment deep in thought as some pieces of the puzzle were actively clicking in her brain for the first time as she retold what happened.

"It's okay, you don't have to keep going if you don't want to" Hele assured her but she shook her head and continued. " I had a few glasses of wine but I'm a big girl and I can handle my liquor" she started. Both Hele and Murciél growled a bit when she mentioned her size but she brushed it off and kept going, she noticed but ignored it. "After a few glasses I felt super tired and warm...I think, maybe she slipped something into my drink when I went to the bathroom." she finished with a puzzled look on her face staring off into nothing still thinking.

Growling with anger, not towards her Murciél asked "what makes u think that?" Sara sighed "remember when I ran into you last night?" Murciél nodded "well I was running from her place. Once I got out of the house they had me held up in I assumed they took her too, cuz I went to sleep in her apartment and woke up somewhere else. I didn't find her where I was so I thought maybe she was still at the apartment and hurt or worse" she added. She remembers the panic and love she had for the woman she used to regard as her friend and sister. Now there was nothing but anger and disgust.

Murciél and Hele looked at her with so much pride, running for her life and still thinking about those she cared about. Murciél said to Hele in their mind link, Hele replied. "Then what happened after you showed up at her place?" Murciél asked. "I heard her very much fine and very much excited. She-she was talking to someone" she started losing her composure and Hele and Murciél closed the nonexistent gap between them to comfort her.

"It's okay you can stop" Hele told her but she continued "No I'm okay I'm just angry and hurt" she said sniffling and holding back tears before she continued. She exhaled deeply "I heard her telling the other person she didn't have to turn tricks anymore and that she gave me up to her boss, I'm assuming, to take her place" she finished and shuddered trying to get a hold of her emotions. "She will pay my love" Hele nearly growled holding her close "they all will, with their lives" Murciél added. Hele told his brother through their mind link.

Murciél nodded in agreement and opened the mind link to all of them informing them of the threat to their mate and what had transpired prior to him finding her. a man roared in an African accent. another man chimed in with a Japanese accent.

another voice agreed in a Romanian accent he added. Mahō spoke up again he informed them and he dropped off the link. a man asked in a Welsh accent.

Hele replied. he replied and dropped off the link. Mala'ika stated and dropped off the link. the Romanian man joked and fell off the link as well.

Murciél and Hele sighed inwardly towards one another and looked to Sara. She wasn't asleep but was finally relaxed and resting in between them. "Our brothers will be here in a few hours," Hele started and Sara looked at him semi-perplexed. "We told them what happened and Diak's involvement and they don't want to waste any more time before meeting you and it'll be easier to make a plan of attack if we're together." Hele finished.

"How many brothers are there and where are they?" she asked. "6 Total, Me and Hele stay in the western hemisphere while the others handle the eastern side. Mala'ika is in Africa, Cythraul is in Wales, Balaur's in Romania, so they cover the top half of the east and Mahō's in Japan." he informed her and her eyes went wide. She wasn't sure what concerned her more, the fact that she had to deal with six men at a time or the chance that they were all as attractive and affected her like Hele and Murciél had both emotionally and physically.
