It was early. Well, early for her. Working in vampire hours always made a mess of her sleep schedule, especially when she had prepping to do during the day. Not many employees serviced the mansion during daylight hours, mostly just security. Today however was slightly different. There were caterers coming in, people setting up on the patio for the party, the donors she’d called in getting set up in their small quarters as well. She also had to conference with all of the security personnel, going over every little detail. They all knew the rooms where guests would be allowed and not allowed. The rule was “if it does belong, turn them around or fill them with silver or lead, no exceptions”. Essentially only herself or the king himself would be allowed to wonder about while the guests were there.
The donors would have to check in every 15 minutes to ensure everyone who started alive, remained alive. Security personnel would be on 20 and 45 minute rotation cycles and all of them would be wearing the special eye gear to avoid being glamoured. The list of guests was on everyone’s tablets, pictures to match names to match species and in the case of human guests even downright to blood types. All electronics would be confiscated and if they refused they would be escorted off the premises and electronics would be destroyed. Also any electronics found being smuggled would also be destroyed and the guest immediately removed. There would be no media leaks tonight. All the food was to be specifically prepared, as well as a whole assortment of bottled blood as well as her own special bloodwine. Everything was tasted and tested for purity.
The gathering wouldn’t start until well after sundown and it took her all the way up to around 3 pm to sort every single detail out. Not only for the party, but also about Jessica, about the AVL, a whole host of donations, and then appointments for Mr Compton to appear in the media, or statements to be delivered by him. By the end of it she was tired and she was hungry and she still had to somehow look all proper for this gathering. She figured she could take a short nap to banish the tired grumpy look, then she could find something appropriate to wear, sneak a meal and then act as arm candy to the vampire king.
She told security that she was going dark, aka taking a nap for a bit. The decorator hadn’t finished with her so called permanent room so she was still in the guest quarters which suited her just fine. She closed the door behind her, dressed down into nothing but a thin tank top and her panties and slid into bed, setting her phone to wake her up about thirty minutes after sundown, somewhere around 6:30 and closed her eyes, easily falling back asleep hugging her long body pillow, the silk sheets coming up just to her thighs.
