As Allie gasped at this new revelation, the room seemed to be getting hazier and the cinnamon scent was getting stronger and denser.  She probably looked like a fish out of water with her mouth opening and shutting in disbelief. With a little sigh, Louis reached down and wrapped his hand around hers and pulled her up from the couch.  Ooof, she felt a bit of a head rush and almost fell over, but Louis's strong hand pulled her body up to his and she spent a second (which felt like an eternity) inhaling his intoxicating smell.  It felt like his pheromones' were swirling around her body and she was starting to heat up with a feeling she wasn't sure about. Hearing a thud behind her, the trance was broken, and startled she blushed deep and turned to see what happened.  With alarm she saw Dino slumped over on the couch and she ran to him, a little bit dizzy still, and checked him over to see if he was alright.  

"He will be fine kitten!" purred Louis right behind her.  She felt trickles of pleasure surge through her body as Louis's breath fanned her bare shoulders. "He is just in an induced slumber.  I must apologize, but I needed to slip something in your tea to help with this whole night's experience." He looked down at her a little sheepishly but definitely not with any regret for his actions. 

She turned around shocked! "You drugged us? WHY?" She was at a loss for this whole situation.  Why did he hide that he worked here, from her? 

"Do you trust me Allie? We are best friends. I just needed Dino to relax a little so you could fully understand, and experience tonight without his protective nature getting in the way.  There are some truths that you need to awaken in yourself tonight.  To do that, I needed to help loosen you up, and open your mind."  Louis glanced down at Dino and continued "We can move him to a guestroom to make him safe and comfy while I show you around the club."

Conflicted, Allie glanced back at Dino, feeling extremely woozy, but a heat was starting to form in her stomach like a small ball of fire, and she was really curious now what Louis was talking about.  She nodded and then watched as Louis walked to the tassel Lady Dara has pulled earlier by the fireplace, he pulled it twice.  Looking around she noticed that Lady Dara was no longer with them and wondered when she had left.  Louis noticed her confusion.  "You will see Lady Dara later on, but she had some things to prepare." He answered mysteriously.  

Just then Namiri came in the door, glanced at Allie and then at Dino quizzically, looking like he wanted to ask, but then decided better of it and walked over to Dino and lifted him up into his sturdy arms.  Louis walked over to the wall full of bookshelves, pushed a book in and the wall swung open to reveal a hidden room behind.  Namiri took Dino into the room and laid him on a cushy bed and pulled the covers over him. Then he walked back out, the wall swung back into place, he nodded at Allie, gave a cryptic glance at Louis and left the office again.  Allie was feeling heavier and heavier from whatever drug Louis had given her, but it seemed like she had been given something different from Dino.  She was a little hesitant to leave Dino like this, but there really wasn't any other choice.  

"Ready to explore princess?" Louis whispered in her ear as electricity crackled through Allie's body.

Looking up at him with heavy lidded eyes, but with the heat ball inside of her expanding, she nodded and clung to Louis's arm since she was going to have trouble walking without his support.  A lusty essence seemed to seep out of him and as the nearest vassal her body seemed to be absorbing it.  The tingles were starting to get seriously intense.  With a chuckle, Louis walked them to the door, and opened it guiding her through.  With mild curiosity, she wondered when, instead of taking them to through the main door of the club, he led her through a door she hadn't notice before that was directly across from the office door.  It was curious because she was certain that they kept opening door after door after door, and they were getting smaller the more they opened them.  Yet their bodies never got too big for them.  Bloody Hell!  she thought.  What was in the tea Louis gave her? 

Finally they made it through the doors, or door, she wasn't sure.  They entered a room that looked like a 70's lounge that had a green tint all over, with stools that resembled toad stools (she chuckled to herself at that) and there was a cushy dark green shag carpet covering the floor.  Slowly she realized that there were other people in this lounge.  Over along one wall was a long bar counter with a mirror running the length behind it along the wall and a wall shelve that displayed the most amazing assortment of hard liquor. Every shape, size, color, and texture was displayed along the wall, and behind the bar looking expectantly at them, were two twin girls standing side by side.  Only difference between them was their clothing.  The girl on the left had a black bow in her hair and a red short dress on, her name tag read Mary.  The girl on the right had a red bow in her hair and a black short dress on.  Her name tag read Jane.  Both girls had red curly hair and freckles on their rosy cheeks.  Their green eyes focused on Allie as she walked up the the bar.  Louis whispered that all the drinks were on the house, with a wink of his hazel eyes.  

With a slight giggle, that frankly made her pause (that wasn't like her at all) she placed her hands on the bar for support, and got lost looking up at the myriad of colors up on the shelf.  They all kind of blurred together, and she was relieved when a peppy little voice behind the bar offered "Would you like us to just make a special concoction for you?" Allie looked down and wasn't sure which twin had spoken, but nodded and was relieved not to have to choose, especially since she was slowly losing her grip on reality. And gravity was becoming stronger.  Jane and Mary both winked their green eyes and turned toward the back counter.  It looked like they were both making a separate drink for her.  As they worked, it seemed like their bodies moved in sync and at times blended together.  She was definitely getting hazier and hazier and she realized the air was becoming very smokey, but there was a spiciness to it that was wonderful to inhale.  A pleasant buzz was coming over her body and mind.  There were waves of clarity mixed with waves of giggles. Sitting down at the bar on one of the tall toad stools, Allie watched as Mary and Jane spun around in a whirl and placed two tumblers full of liquid.  The one on the left had a slightly molten greyish brown that seemed to swirl around in the glass as if it was oil globs that couldn't mix with the water and the colors were switching smoothly.  

"This is the Walrus," Mary pushed the drink towards her "And it has a savory tone to it."  Allie reached over and picked up the drink, held it up to her eyes, watching the swirl and noticing a blue color mixed in with the grey and brown.  Intrigued, she took a large gulp of the liquor and as she swallowed she tasted what felt like the sea breeze, hints of waves crashing on the shore, and a salty/tangy flavor that reminded her of grilled oysters.  It was like an atmosphere surrounding her and telling her a story.  As she drank some more, she started to feel full and a bit gluttonous.  Feeling a bit of guilt for guzzling down the drink so quickly, she put down the glass and turned to the second drink, which Jane pushed towards her.  It was so bright and sparkly with wooden tones running through the golden orange color that dominated the liquid.  As full as she had been a second ago, Allie reached eagerly for the glass.  She smelled this one first and the bubbles tickled her nose as a deep orange brandy scent mixed with a hint of driftwood invaded her senses.  It smelled heavenly!

"That one is called the Carpenter." Jane explained. "And it is considered sweet, but beware of a little spice at the end!"

Allie savored her first sip and felt a heat rush through her, joining the growing heat ball inside her.  At first the deep orange flavor gave her a sense of pep and excitement, but as the brandy was pierced here and there with a wooden smell of driftwood she began to think of campfires on the beach.  Still a sweetness ran through it with an eagerness of expectation.  Then a heat started to build and the orange taste was slowly being flooded with a spiciness the made Allie feel a sort of rage trying to break through.  She quickly placed that second drink down, and a relief began to spread through her limbs, but the fire within was getting very hot and uncomfortable.  She smiled at the twins, feeling like they had just shared a story with her through their creations.  

"Would you care for another?" One of the twins chirped.  Allie was sure she wasn't going to survive another two drinks, so she shook her head and turned to glance at Louis, but it seemed the 'White Rabbit' had disappeared while she was imbibing with alcohol.  

"No, but did you happen to see where my friend went?" Allie asked a bit worried again.

But the twins just stared at her impassively.  Allie was a bit weirded out by those two, so she decided to look around at the rest of the room.  The green haze that had a spiciness appeal to it, had become intensely thick and she could only make out vague outlines in the room.  She pushed off of the toad stool and stumbled away from the bar, stretching her arms out in front of her and she sliced through the smoke.  She started to hear a deep humming that slowly drew her to the back of the room (at least she thought was the back) and the humming started getting louder but it seemed to vibrate out from within her.  Through the fog an outline started to form, and pretty soon she saw a very tall figure lounging in a bean bag.  She was a bit taken back when the form evolved into a very tall caterpillar sitting upright with his under belly showing, and his little legs/hands running down his entire body.  He was a vivid yellow with orange blushing the ends of his outer shell seamlessly.  He was quite stunning and Allie noticed that he was the source of the green smoke permeating the room. A long tube flowed out of a huge hookah lamp, and the other end had a matching glass mouthpiece, which the enormous caterpillar was lazily smoking on.  

"You know, it's very rude to stare." An odd lilting tenor voice came from him.
