Escape to Brian Quinn's

"Just a second," Brian said. He summoned Robert and quickly explained upon his arrival about needing to leave immediately to help Jack find his kids. But he mentioned that Emmy needed help from Sophia's room immediately. Robert agreed to go check on Emmy and Sophia.

"Okay. First, I want to check your house to see if there is a single clue behind. Take me there." Brian told Jack.

Robert went down the hallway to Sophia's room and found her on the floor with Emmy beside her. "Let me see, Emmy," he said gently. He knew all too well what Emmy was feeling. He knelt beside the young student and checked her carefully.

"Ah, she's drained--in several ways. Let's get her into bed and then we'll take care of this. Emmy, apparate to St. Mungos and bring back several days supply of blood for Sophia. She needs fed. Badly. She will be more sensitive to that because of her magic being drained. We will need to actually give her more than what she usually needs in order to help her get her strength up. Then, we need to get her some actual food. It doesn't look like she's had a good nutritious meal in some time. Typical of students to live on fast, quick non-nutriative foods, but in this case, it is critical that she gets a well balanced meal after she feeds. I'll stay with her until you get back. Then I'll bring her around so she can feed. While she's doing that, I suggest you go fix her whatever her favorite meal is so we can entice her to eat. After that, I want her to get some rest in her bed for awhile. If we keep an eye on it and make sure she feeds or eats regular foods approximately every 4 hours, that should help. I can also boost her energies with vitamins and an energy potion. I think she's more sensitive to the energy drain because she's a student. I think it wasn't so hard for Khaat because she is an adult. Her magic is just stronger to begin with because of her age difference from Sophia. We'll have to keep a close eye on her. It is not appropriate to leave her on her own. She will need medical care until she gets her energy back. If she were not here, I'd have her in St. Mungos until her powers returned. But we'll try this first. Now, go bring back those vials of blood for her."

Emmanuelle nodded. "Yes sir, will do."said Emmanuelle as she apperated to St. Mungo's to get Sophia enough blood that would last her for days maybe even a month. Emmanuelle was careful of which one she chosen for she knew Sophia only drinked certain type of blood which was AB postive just like her own blood type. As she put them in her bag she apperated back to Sophia's room and appeared right beside Robert. "Here you go sir, I grabbed as many as I could and I made sure it was the right kind as well for I didn't want her to attack anyone."said Emmanuelle softly. "I have a question though, shouldn't she get her strength back faster seeing how she's a vampire or is your strength based on your magic?" Emmanuelle asked.

"Well," Robert said, "A person's energy is based on the normal life force energies for his or her species, and then also adds the magical energies component to it. So, for most of us, our total amount of energies come in two halves. For example, the normal energies for a human body, along with the normal magical energies for a wizard. It combines to make the whole amount of energy that particular wizard has.

"In Sophia's case, this appears to be an accumulation of things. Part of it is that it appears that her system is trying to compensate for the loss of magical energy by trying to pull on her vampire body's natural energies, making her need an increase in blood than what she normally uses. When she gets her magic back, that should go back to normal. The other thing is that she may have been perhaps pushing to get through her last little bit of schooling and taking shortcuts when it comes to her regular intake of food. It would not be the first tiem that happened. She needs more concentrated nutrients in her food than she has been getting. We can either use vitamins, or we can alter her diet to make sure that she is getting foods that are a lot healthier. And she will have to conserve her energies. I would think that when her magic returns, she will feel back to herself as quickly as she felt it leave."

He woke Sophia and said. "Hello, Sophia. I'm Robert--Khaat's father. I'm a healer. Here. Drink a couple of these. You'll feel better." He handed her a couple vials of blood. "Then I want you to get a good meal. It looks like its been awhile since you've chosen the right foods. If you take good care of yourself tonight and eat and rest, you should feel better tomorrow. I gave your mother all the orders I think she needs to take care of you tonight. Oh, and drink a couple more of those vials before bedtime. Does that make sense?"

He looked at Emmy, "Any questions?"

Emmanuelle nodded. "Ok sir, I'll make sure she takes her blood and that she also have healthy meals."said Emmanuelle not wanting her daughter hurting in any way or form. "I guess she nevered really had time to eat healthy, she used to do it all the time when I wasa with her but I guess she fell off the van wagon."said Emmanuelle softly. "I think maybe we can do alittle bit of both sir, that way she'll be healthy and have some energy in her."said Emmanuelle softly. "I know that she's probably taking shortcuts, for she so worried about passing this year she stresses over homework and other things she needs a break!"said Emmanuelle softly looking at her daughter. "I will do anything to get her to feeling better as well as Khaat, both of them really need a break right now after what they been through."siaid Emmanuelle.

As Robert woke Sophia up she looked at Rober confused as he told her to drink a couple of vials of blood and eat a good meal. "What happened?"Sophia asked them weakly looking from her mother to Robert with a confused look on her face. Sophia nodded at what Robert told her to do. "Ok will do Robert."said Sophia taking a vail of blood and drunk it down quickly before taking another one and drinking it. Feeling some of her energy coming towards her she looked at Robert. "Why do I want some much more blood then I usually need?"Sophia asked him as her eyes changed back to there normal chocolate brown.

"I was just explaining that to your mother. A wizarding body gets its energy from two sources. The first half of your energies comes from your own physical body--whether you're human, vampire, veela, etc. Whatever your body type generally has as its normal energy level. The second half of your energy comes from your magic. When you lost your magic, it took half your body's energies. The remaining half of your body is trying to make up for the loss of your magic. That's why you need the additional blood and better nutrition, more rest. All of that. It's just trying to catch up to what it does not have. You may find yourself needing up to double what you usually do."

Sophia eyes widen as he told her all that. "Wow I didn't know that, but then again I don't nkow much about the body."said Sophia sighing. "So all I got to do is drink additional blood and a better nutrition and more rest and I'll be ok?"Sophia asked him softly. Sophia looked at her mother with worry in her eyes. "Mom, what about daddy, where he is? I haven't seen him in weeks I'm worried about him."said Sophia. "I'm sure your farther is fine Sophia, he's a brave and smart man."said Emmanuelle softly. "I know he's fine, I can feel it."said Emmanuelle softly.

"I wish I can I used to be able to, it was the bond between me and him that told him I was in trouble I'm guessing."said Sophia softly. "I don't know how we were able to do that, but we could always tell when something was wong with each other, now I can't feel anything."said Sophia as she ran her hands through her hair. "I hate being weak, I feel so useless!"said Sophia annoyed that she was so weak and useless. "I know it's difficult and hard Sophia sweetie, but things will get better just have faith."said Emmanuelle softly. "Here take the rest of these, they will make you feel better and I'll fix you your favorite meal."said Emmanuelle giving her daughter a soft warm smile.

Sophia nodded and took another vial of blood and started feeling alittle better then she was before she ever took any blood. "Let me help you mom."said Sophia getting out a bed and took a step as she fell on the floor and groaned. "Honestly, am I that weak?"Sophia asked them annoyed as she tried to push herself up but couldn't. "Yes Sophia sweetie you are, losing your powers can take alot out of you."said Emmanuelle softly helping her up and puttinbg her back in bed. "You just rest and relax me and Robert will take care of everything."said Emmanuelle softly

"You might need some help with that whole 'standing and walking around' business for a few days," Robert told Sophia, "But it will get better. If you get bored, you can help your mom feed Abbey or maybe talk with Khaat. She's really bored with being stuck in bed with no magic either. We could arrange for the two of you to spend some time together. You can talk about how its such a pain in the neck to do things the muggle way, or about all the things you want to do when you get your magic back.

"And, I hear you want to be a healer. So, the sooner you get your strength back, the sooner you can start learning some things. We have a whole houseful of healers right now, and I"m sure we'd all be glad to help you learn. And Khaat and Abbey are looking like they're going to be my patients for quite awhile yet. So, you'll have time to help after you get your magic back if you like. But that's up to you."

Sophia nodded. "That sounds likie a lovely idea."said Sophia softly and shyly to Robert as she rested her head against the pillow. "I'll help my mother as much as I can Robert, but I can't do nothing until I get my strength back and my magic."said Sophia sighing. "Yes I want to become a healer so bad, I'm just lucky I'm in a house full of healers that can teach me some things."said Sophia smiling. "But I can still help my mom though by feeding Abbey and changing her and stuff the muggle way."said Sophia. "Thank goodness I know how to do things the muggle way or I would be helpless!"said Sophia laughing her tinkling bell laugh.

Andrew walked down a corridor and saw an open door, with his curiosity peeked he moved forward and peeked in, seeing Robert he ran in "oops" he said sliding to a stop “sorry was playing pirate and exploring" he said smiling at Robert “she hurt?” he asked walking over and looking at her from edge of the bed “she ill?” he asked peeking just over the edge of the bed at her. He smiled at the girl in it “hi, I’m Andrew, my dad brought me here” he said
