Angelus the Nightmare
Legacy Name: Angelus the Nightmare

Sept. 8th

    Two young women came to live with us yesterday. I hope they will be able to handle the house all right. It can be as eccentric as it's master at times, perhaps even more so.
    I must remember to remind them not to use the toaster. Dimitri has been tinkering again. Last time he messed with the toaster, it took my eyebrows weeks to grow back.
    And, I need to tell them not to dust in the library upstairs; the dust bunnies have decided to nest there and they can be territorial.
    Better make sure that the lock on the basement door is still good. Wouldn't want them to stumble in there with the hell gate and all.
    Although, the dragons would probably enjoy the company. Did I remember to feed them tonight?
    Oh well...

Oct. 24th

    The old wounds are hurting again. I've had to stay hidden away in my room most of the day.
    It's always this way when the weather starts to get cold. I'll talk to Nim later to see if she can make me another draft of that tonic of her's; it seems to do the trick.
    Although I have to admit, I will take this pain over the alternative any day. After having my leg ripped off and then nearly decapitated by a demon, I shouldn't even be here.
    Never thought that Nightmare of Jedidiah's would help us the way he did. I owe that beast my life...

Nov. 20th

    Lara has been spending the day getting everything ready for Thanksgiving. Looking forward to the festivities. I can't remember when we last had a party here.
    Things have livened up since those two started working here. Jedidiah would never admit it, but I think he's glad to have them with us. Not just because the house is kept in order now and we finally eat something other than cheap take-out and microwave dinners. They make this place feel more like a home.
    He does seem to enjoy the food a great deal. Caught him sneaking bacon off the counter again today. Lara caught him too. It's funny seeing the two together, a young lady in a messy bun and pink apron scolding an extremely large wolf in the middle of the kitchen.
    I sit at the table and quietly drink my coffee, all the while Jedidiah will grumble at her then grab a bottle of brandy from the cabinet and storm out, usually whacking her with his tail in the process. She'll get all huffy and complain about the dog being a menace again.
    I asked him once why he torments her so. He just smirked at me and told me it was a way to pass the time.

Dec. 25th

    This will be the girls first Christmas in the house. Normally we don't celebrate, but Jedidiah gave the girls leave to do whatever, so they are downstairs decorating this giant fir tree my brother David brought them.
    Lara has spent most of the morning getting Christmas dinner ready, while Tara and Victoria have been stringing up lights and putting up glass baubles and old ornaments Dimitri found in a box stashed in one of the basements.
    David and Nim decided to go shopping to get the girls something. I got something for each of them too. It just doesn't feel like Christmas without gifts.
    Dimitri is worried that Jedidiah will spend the day locked away in his study. Personally, I figure he'll come down once he smells Lara's cooking.
    I'm looking forward to tonight. After the holidays Dimitri and I have to go hunting again, so it will be good to spend this time with everyone before we go. Who knows if or when we will be back.
    I'm worried about leaving the girls for so long. Lara in particular has started to ask questions about the house and Jedidiah. Don't know how long I will be able to avoid the subject. I figure she will find out soon enough anyway, I just don't want to be the one to tell her.
