@Aisling "Ah, thanks... that'd be kind of you..." Ioan answered. "It's my brain acting up again..."

@CountDracula

Mystique began to firmly press the tendons to loosen them before working on the muscles. There was a large knot where the muscle had twisted up. She soon had the knot out but she kept massaging the leg to make sure that it would knot up. Strong smooth firm rubbing was a technique she used when Callie overdid her swimming and her legs cramped up.

"How is your leg now? Are there any other knots?"

@Aisling "Thank you... it's much better..." Ioan answered. "It's my brain that sends wrong signals to my legs..."

@CountDracula

"Does it happen very often? Who usually help you get the knot out?" she asked.

@Aisling "It happens quite often. Usually, no one helps me," Ioan answered. "But usually, those cramps aren't as long as this one. They go away after a minute or two. Such long cramps are rather unusual."

@CountDracula

"You may call on me when you have a leg cramp and I will help you. I am quite good at giving massages. Besides that you have some so much for Fiona and myself." Mystique smiled at loan.

@Aisling Ioan smiled as well. "That's very kind of you." Then, he stood up and carefully walked a few steps.

@CountDracula

Mystique walked beside loan to make sure that he would be would be all right.

"You do walk really well. I didn't realize that you could. How are your legs?" she asked with concern in her voice.

@Aisling "My legs are okay. It's my brain that isn't," Ioan answered. "I can walk, but only a few steps." He sat back down in his wheelchair. "Then, my brain refuses to control them."

@CountDracula

After getting Cailleach out of the hospital, Sean was very glad to drop her off at the Castle for Mystique to deal with. He got out of the Ferrari and quickly went over to the other side to let Cailleach out.

“Ooooo…..Mystique is living here?” she asked as she got out of the car.
“Yes, and Fiona as well. Be sure to give Mystique that report right away. Here are your suitcases and your purse. The envelope is in your suitcase. I am sure there is a room somewhere for you to stay in. Last word of advice. Mind your manners and use your brain, Callie.” Sean spoke firmly and placed her purse on her shoulder. The suitcases were stuck in her hands with a final push, he said
“Now go up and find Mystique. I am leaving.”
Cailleach slowly walked up the pathway in awe. She couldn’t believe that Mystique and Fiona were living here. They probably wore long dresses, jewelry and a tiara for sure……
She lifted the large knocker and let it fall several times before stepping back to wait.

"I suppose that you have tried every method from deep tissue massage to acupuncture to regain what you have lost." Mystique spoke softly as the door was knocked on.

@Aisling "Well, as long as I've got a bullet stuck up there..." Ioan heard someone knock at the door. "Shall I go?"

@CountDracula

"Sure. I'm going to check on Fiona." Mystique spoke with a smile.

@Aisling Ioan opened the door and saw Cailleach standing outside with suitcases. "Uhm, hello..." he said.

@CountDracula

"Hello, my name is Cailleach. My sister Mystique lives here and I came to visit her and Fiona. This place is huge.... so many pretty things too." Callie spoke as she slipped inside the doors.
"I'll just set my suitcases for the footman to take to my suite."
Callie sat her suitcases down and picked up a small statue.
"Wow I didn't realize that the statue weighed so much. What is it made of? Or do you even know?"

@Aisling "Mystique, your sister is here!" Ioan called. "I don't know what this Buddha is made of. It belongs to Vladislaus - I mean, Dracula's father."

@CountDracula
“You mean as in Count Dracula? Like in Bram Stoker's book and movie called Dracula! Wow, isn’t this super duper sweet set up! Man, does these things go way back to when Count Dracula was alive? Did he really put people on stakes like like he impaled them alive! And look at this one! It is a very pretty green. Is it jade?” the blonde girl spoke as she whirled around.

“Which sister! Cailleach! Do not touch the statues. They are priceless and very breakable. Now stand still and let me look at you. Hmmm….. still wearing those short short dresses, I see. And no control over your impulses.” Mystique spoke sharply for this was how she knew how to stop Cailleach in her tracks.
“loan, this is my baby sister, Cailleach or Callie. Callie, this is my friend, loan. And before you even ask, he is not my boyfriend or the one who owns the castle. Count Dracula and his Father own the castle. You will have to ask them for permission to stay here.”

She has an impulsive behavior and to stop her from doing what she is doing, one must be sharp and firm with her. I am sorry that she has come to visit. I have the feeling that Sean was the one who let her know where I am staying.

@Aisling "The Count Dracula, yes. Just that he isn't dead..." Ioan answered.
Then, Ioan turned to Mystique. "Mystique, it's all fine... she didn't do anything. It's okay if she looks around. I've known Vlad - I mean, Count Dracula - and his father all my life, and they wouldn't mind it. Just..."
He turned back to Cailleach. "You can touch anything despite the Buddhas. That is respectless to a Buddhist."
"It's okay. Vlad is a whole lot more impulsive when he is on his bad days," the sorcerer said via telepathy.

@CountDracula

Ok. I'll just set some guide lines for her and she can ask Count Dracula to stay. She is slightly brain damaged in my opinion.

"Calli, these statues mean as much to a Buddhist as Mother Mary and Christ on the Cross does to Catholic. You wouldn't touch them so please do not touch any of the Buddhas. You may ask about them and talk about what you want to here. All you have to do is to wear dresses that don't show your underwear and remember your manners.

Count Dracula, his father, loan and I are vampires. We will drink blood from blood bags at meal time. Fiona and you can have your fishy food and there is another young person who is not a vampire living here. His name is Toma. Can you try to remember all of this?" Mystique asked.

"I'll try really hard to remember all of it. Can I write it all down? And Sean sent an envelope to give to you right away." she hurried over to the one suitcase and pulled out a large envelope.
"Here."

"Thank you, Calli." Mystique spoke as she opened the envelope.

@Aisling Just then, Mariah came by in a see-through dress.
"So much about the dresses," Ioan said. "But for real. You can wear whatever you're comfortable with. And may I call your Calli? Cailleach is hard to pronounce for a Romanian like me."

@CountDracula
"Who is that?" Calli whispered in awe. "You can call me Calli...."

Fiona came around the corner and saw Mariah. She simply moved around her as quickly as possible.

"Hi Mommy. Who was that woman?" she asked softly.
"I think that was Mariah..." Mystique spoke softly as she sat down to read the letter.
