B'astien looked into those deep violet eyes, those eyes that saved his soul and gave him so much more. Nodding he took her hand, hearing the beckoned call they both turned to mist and flowed through the air to where they were called. Shifting back into their forms they looked at the others as they appeared, B'astien gave a curt nod to both males that were present before looking to his lifemate. Andrea smiled up at him, her blond hair not tied back behind her in a short French braid. Her sais were once more in her hand as she looked to Ailenia and Drea. She stepped closer, however, B'astien still chose to stand protective of her as he himself readied for the coming fight.

*'Drea fought for breath, while Stefan covered her body with his own. She could feel the pain in his mind as the acid rain continually tore at his exposed back. When it was finally safe for him to move, she felt his weight shift just enough to allow her to breath and then the others were there lifting him. Standing up slowly, 'Drea gasped aloud at the sight of Stefan's back. Flesh and clothing lay tangled in strips where the acid and hit him. "Oh Stefan." 'Drea cried out.*

*He lifted his head slightly, turning to glance at Drea, and gave her a weak smile, as Cristian supported him the best he could. "I will be fine, little one, as soon as I am able to rest in the healing soil for a while. You are safe, as I promised, that is all that matters." He stumbled slightly, his grip on Cristian tightening, as he winced. He could not remember the last time he had felt pain like this, and silently he prayed it would be a long while before he would feel it again. He glanced around him at the others, thankful that none had sustained any serious injuries, then he glanced back at Drea. If he could feel pride, that was what he would feel right now, for this young woman who refused to turn away from danger, oh the hell she wold give her lifemate. He silently chuckled a bit, she was too much like Ailenia, he almost felt sorry for the man who claimed this one. He briefly thought of another emotion long since gone, regret, that he wasn't the one for her, she would indeed be a handful, one he surely wouldn't mind taking on. He shook his head slowly, and sighed softly. There was a lifemate somewhere out there for him, he had to believe that, without that hope, he was a lost man. He turned his head to glance at Drea again, giving her a warm smile as she slipped under his arm and lent him her support as they made their way back toward the cabin and the welcoming earth waiting for him there. He draped his arm over her shoulders, Cristian bearing most of his weight, but the feel of her tiny frame under his arm brought back memories of a time long since gone, when he could feel love, and he leaned his head down and placed a soft kiss on her temple. "Thank you, cara, for letting me remember how it feels to be happy." *

*Blushing softly, 'Drea felt his pride of her in his mind. "It seems I owe you my life. "Tis not a debt I'm likely to forget. Rest and heal my brave warrior." Gentely she kissed Stefan's cheek as they laid him in the soil and watched as Cristian covered him over. Sighing deep with regret, 'Drea wished she could belong to him after all. With sadness in her eyes, 'Drea walked back into the kitchen of the cabin, pulling the remain pin from her hair and laid it on the counter. "I'm going to get cleaned up." Not looking up, she quietly left the room.*

*Stefan reached his hand out to caress Drea's cheek softly, "You owe me nothing, litte one, it was my promise to you, remember?" He let his hand fall to his side as he laid down in the rich soil, and closed his eyes, his last image that of her smiling face. He stilled his breathing and fell into the healing sleep of his kind.*

*We'll see who owes who when you wake up. Knowing he couldn't hear her, she could argue with him all she wanted and he wasn't able to talk back. Laughing softly to herself, she finished with her shower, stepped out and dried off and collasped into her bed, pulling the covers up over her head to block out the rising sun. Her dreams were filled with eyes, eyes that looked for her. Eyes, that when they found her, would finally fill the void that her life had become. Filling the spaces of her she hadn't known needed filling. As hands were reaching for her, she woke with a start, a hand at her throat. Soon. she thought, too soon he'd be there.*

*Cristian looked down at Ailenia, his hand tenderly brushing the smudge of dirt from her cheek. "what troubles you mia amore?" She leaned into his touch and closed her eyes slowly. "it is Stefan, I know he is still young, but it worries me to see him like this. He still remembers so much of his emotions, and what he doesn't remember, he draws on from others. I do not wish to see him suffer so. I see how he fears turning, even if he cannot feel the emotion, he remembers it and it haunts him constantly." Cristian wrapped her in his arms and kissed the top of her head. "He hoped this would be the one, didn't he?" he asked gently, feeling his lifemate's small body mold itself against his as he held her. Ailenia nodded her head, her soft raven hair falling around her face in a cascade of black. "He woke from his sleep, drawn by her presence, even before he set eyes on her, he thought it a sign, but when he faced her, Cristian, he can't feel emotions but I swear I could feel the disappointment from him at that moment." Cristian tilted her face up toward his, and smiled softly. "do not fret my love, as long as he has you to look out for him, he will never have to fear facing the sun." then he kissed her tenderly, cradling her neck and caressing her cheek gently as he pulled her close. he lifted her in his arms and carried her to their chamber, where they lost themselves in each other for the remaining hours of the night, then fell asleep tangled in each other's arms as the sun began to peek over the horizon.*

B'astien and Vodka looked on, ready but unmoving. Once everything began to settle down they looked to one another. Vodka and B'astien smiled to the others then shimmered away into the night.
