Who: Poppy, James, Nicola, Delos and open to Natalie
When: Closing time
Where: Delights
What: Having fun with the days wasted stock

Poppy flipped the sign to say the little store was closed and went to clean up before the boys arrived, there was plenty of food left and milk that needed using, so they all might as well have a treat.

Delos walked out of his own store after making sure everything was going well with Tristan and over to the charming florist around the corner - even though delights was closer. "Are you ready to go?" He asked James as he stuck his head around the door with a soft smile.

Who: Nicola and Delos
When: Afternoon
Where: Nicola’s place
What: Delos is fussing and Nicky thinks it’s sweet

As the front door was opened Nicola breathed a sigh of relief. She was up and about and feeling so much better. It was hard to believe she had been so close to death only days ago. But now she was healthy and home!

Nothing was better than being home safe. She turned to Delos and smiled. She leant over and pressed a kiss to his cheek.

Another fantastic thing about surviving this. She had him. Him and a whole new, scary, but wonderful relationship to explore.

Who: Delos, Nicola and open
When: Afternoon
Where: Hospital
What: The vaccine takes effect

Delos was semi awear that he hadn't woken up in a while, and that he hadn't been spirit walking. He'd just been laying there, prone and unable to escape his nightmares. Then something changed, he didn't know what though, but something did, slow at first, he could feel his mind clear and the ache in his body become more prominant. Then all of a sudden there was a rushing feeling, like his spirit being forced back into his body and up.

His eyes shot open and he took a deep breath, he was in pain and he felt very groggy, but he was alive. He knew some his time walking around that it could be very different. of course true to his nature he didn't dwell long on the fact that he was alive he looked around hoping Nicola was there, "Nic?" He croaked.

Who: Nicola, Delos and Open
When: Mid-Morning
Where: Hospital
What: Delos has finally decided he and Nicola need a doctor

He could hardly believe they had slept for a whole day, at least he thought it was a day he couldn't be sure. He was groggy and disorientated, but had left several messages. To the school to say he was sick and couldn't come into work if he was meant to be starting today, and to James to say he was talking Nicola to the hospital.

He had fallen asleep several times in the cab on the way there, while trying to keep Nicola awake too. he was so tired, and sickly he could brealy breath for the mucus. He felt three times worse than he had two days ago and aparently using his abilities hadn't really helped Nicola at all.

As the cab stopped he gently helped Nicola out of the car, paid the driver and walked into the hospital and up to the receptionist. "Excuse me, we need to see a doctor." He said as polite as ever.

Who: Nicola
When: 5pm
Where: Nicola’s home
What: Nicola is still suffering from her cold/flu and is too bad to get in to work

Nicola had lost her battle with going in to work. So she was at home and had a few boxes of files and paperwork to get on with when she felt better. She was worried though, her powers had gone a bit out of whack and she was sure she wasn't getting better. She had called in to see a doctor who had just told her it was a flu and she should go home and rest. He had given her a cause of medication to get on with and that had been that. She just didn't feel right in herself. She knew there was something happening around her, something more than just the 'flu' but what, she could not quite work out. It was frustrating, things seemed just beyond her grasp.

She huddled down in to her blanket and laid back down on her sofa. Sitting up was not fun. She rolled over on to her side and felt a weight lay on her feet. Her dog had come to snuggle up to her. She smiled softly and closed her eyes. She couldn't sleep but her eyes being closed helped the headache. She coughed a few times and groaned. She felt horrible. Utterly horrible.

Who: Nicola
When: 2PM
Where: Delights
What: Nicola is really ill but still working

Nicola was sat up the stairs in the tiny office above Delights and feeling rotten. Her eyes were sore and red and itched, her nose was constantly running yet she couldn't breathe through it. Her chest felt tight no matter what she did and she was so tired all of the time. She had a whole bunch of remedies laid out on the table to one side, next to all of her papers. She was so thankful for Poppy downstairs. If she hadn't had her hired her than she would have ended up having to close shop and she would have lost her a fortune!

She could hardly bake goods and serve customers coughing over everyone could she? The Health Inspectors wouldn't look kindly on that. So she took the chance to keep up with her paper work and make sure all her receipts were together and the like. She coughed again, a very nasty sounding cough erupted and she huddled at herself, it was making her feel physically sick as she coughed. Afterwards she clung to her head as the coughing fit eased, now she was dizzy and nauseous. She had never had such an intense cold before. Perhaps it was a winter flu? Though she never usually got this sick. She felt utterly wretched. Maybe she had caught something from that wolf? She chewed her lip, she needed to see a doctor. She closed her eyes a moment before her head hit the top of the desk. Just a little sleep! Just a little sleep and she'd be fine to go see the Doctor when she woke up! Perfect plan.

Who: Delos and Nicola
When: 13.30
Where: Nicola's home
What: Delos has come to give Nicola a small gift

Delos had spent some time thinking over the last few days, well he wasn't sleeping too well so he may as well think. He had his store, which he really needed to get someone in for, and after the holidays he was going to work as the high schools counsellor and it was about time he told the woman of his dreams he liked her! Because it was Christmas and at Christmas you tell the truth... he'd seen that in a movie somewhere he was sure of it.

So he walked almost confidently towards Nicola's home, now all he needed to do was not stutter and not giggle like a school girl and all would be fine. Unless she didn't like him, that would be bad. And then he'd embarrass himself and then possibly die... Nope those were bad thoughts, only good ones were allowed. He could do this. He was such a looser.

Of course had he known about the sickness that had entered town the night before and that Nicola had been close to it he may be bringing her soup and blankets instead, just incase. But he didn't so he brought a single large, long, wild red rose, with with white and red ribbon cross crossed up the stem ending in a bow half way up.

He took a deep breath, moment of truth, hide one hand containing the rose behind his back and knocked on the door. He could still run away right!?

He had to keep going. His lungs and body felt like they were on fire but he had to keep going. Everyone needed to know. They needed to know and he needed help before they caught up to him and took him back. If he went back he knew it's never get out alive again. Little did he know he was going to die either way.

The werewolf stumbled through the town. He had managed to get a ride in, the only reason he hadn't tried to find the local pack's land. He could have went up to anyone but wolf was safe. Wolf would protect him. He could smell three nearby and stumbled towards their direction. They would help him. They would protect them.

He stumbled into a little shop. He didn't stop to see what the shop was. By the his vision was so blurred her couldn't see. If he had read it he would have seen it was a store called Nikki's Delights. There was only one or two people inside of the store besides the three wolves. He paid them no mind and headed straight for the wolves. He meant to grab the blonde female for she was the dominant of the three, but instead missed and grabbed the smaller female. "Help me," he whispered as he clung to her shirt. Then it started to grow dark and he passed out while the little female wolf screamed.

Who: Delos and Nicola
When: Just after 6pm
Where: Nicki’s Delights and the street
What: Delos arrives to walk Nicola home and to hopefully get her to come with him to James’ first.

So once again as he had promised Delos walked down the street and across the road to Nicki’s delights to walk Nicola home. But he had plans for tonight so if he could he wanted to get Nicola on board too, then he would still walk her home later. He walked in the door and looked around, smiling as he saw Nicola. “Hello, a-are you r-r-r-ready?” He asked.

Who: Nicola, Poppy and Still Open
When: Mid afternoon.
Where: Nicki's Delights.
What: Another day of serving the general public with cake goods and also putting up the Christmas Decoration's!
Status:Complete

A naked tree stood in one corner of Delight's with a box of decorations opened up on one table next to it. Christmas songs played in the background and the place was looking good. Nicely like Christmas.

She took out a bauble and started to hang it on the tree. This time of year was always a good one for her. Shame she was single for another Christmas though. At least she had her friends and her shop.

A whole new range of Christmas treats were lined up too. Ginger bread men, decorated santa shaped cookies, christmas trees, stockings and all maner of Christmas symbols looked so delicious inside the display cabinet. She did however have a lot of special orders in for Christmas parties and what not and really needed some extra help around here. Poppy was a life saver and so efficient but she could do with an extra hand.

Over in the other corner Nicola had set up a box for toy donations for her to send along to a charity organisation for impoverished children. She also had space for a donation of blankets for the homeless in the city set up.

Her Gingerbread house raffle was still going strong too. An edible centre piece to be made for Christmas day and all proceeds of the raffle heading to charity. She felt good today.

The mistletoe hung from the ceiling close to the door so that perhaps two strangers may cross underneath it.

"Joy to the world.." She sung softly under her breath waiting for that bell to ring to herald a new customer.

Who: Nicola and Open!!
When: 8 PM
Where: Local Mega-mart
What: Nicola is shopping and meets a new face, helpful or laughing
Status:complete

Standing on tiptoes trying to reach a bottle of olive oil Nicola sighed and relaxed putting her hands on to her hips. It wasn't even that high. She looked around and didn't spot a shop floor worker so she stretched up again. Maybe she had grown an inch in the last minute.

Her trolley was practically full, a big shop now. Thankfully she lived within five minutes of the store but she didn't have a car so she would end up struggling with the bags all the way home. But she did it a fair amount. She grunted her fingers almost grasping the bottle.

Who: Nicola and Open!
When: 6:30
Where: Nicki's Delights
What: Open a little later than usual on a Friday night
Status:Complete

Nicola was open late today, making up for yesterday's closing really. Plus she was doing some paperwork whilst she put off cashing up and locking down. So it was half past six and open.

She had set herself up on a table in the corner next to the counter and had her hair up in a loose bun, a few strands falling about her face. She had taken her jacket off set it to the side. The place was nice and warm. She was going over her books and doing paper work for the soup kitchen work she had done and the food she had donated for yesterday.

She wondered if when she got full staff she should try and keep the place open a little longer. Maybe just on weekends? She could try it for a while.

She wondered idily if she'd get fresh custom opening at a slightly different time. She wasn't expecting too much though. So she looked back down to the papers in front of her.
