The loose gravel crunched under the tires of the XKR-5 as Darien pulled into the parking area in front of his warehouse shortly after noon on Halloween.

Vicky was surprised to find that there were already several cars left haphazardly across the small area.

Zak leaped happily from her lap as she opened the door. He scampered over to the closest car in his Shih Tzu form to sniff at the tire before peeing on it.

“Zak!” Vicky chided the hellhound as she closed the door. “That’s not nice.”

Darien snickered as he watched the little dog kicking loose dirt up over the mess he had made. “That’ll drive him nuts.” Smiling, Darien led the way to the warehouse. Rupert would surely notice the hellhound had scent-marked his car. Darien held the door open so Zak could scamper into the building.

Vicky glanced back at the black van Zak had claimed before following her boss into the building. She gasped as a strange feeling washed over her when she stepped across the threshold. Looking back at the door, she expected to see torn cobwebs hanging from the frame. “What was that?” Vicky asked when Darien stopped to make sure she was okay.

“The barrier Lord Dakine set up to keep the lesser fay contained,” Darien explained as he took Vicky’s hand.

“It felt… familiar.” Vicky pondered where she had run into something like it before.

“Kind of like when we went to see the Gray Court?” Darien’s eye sparkled as he spoke.

Recognition lit Vicky’s face as she remembered stepping into the mysterious tunnel in the woods. “Almost exactly like that!” Vicky gasped as she looked back at the doorway. “But… how?” She turned her attention to the grinning vampire next to her.

“Lord Dakine extended part of Fairy around the building so the little ones could join us.” Darien pulled his assistant farther into the building as he explained. “It was easier than trying to set up an area here and transporting them over.”

Vicky nodded as they walked towards what looked to be a curtain.

Darien ran his hand across a section of the delicate material until he found the split and pulled it back so they could enter the main room.

Vicky drew in a long, appreciative breath at the gorgeous scene set out before them.

The entire room had been draped in a fine, silvery material that hung in long folds down the walls. Her eyes ran up the material to find it flowed from just above the lights. The cloth draped between the fixtures, effectively lowering the ceiling. It was still high enough to give the flying creatures enough room, but it gave the massive space a cozier feel. All the lines of fabric pulled up to a point high above a huge, crystal chandelier hung over the center of the silver circle on the floor. The warmth of the wood covering the floor added to the intimacy of the room. Groups of chairs and small tables were scattered around the perimeter, intermixed with piles of pillows made of the same stuff as the walls and ceiling.
