Tornedalians

Charlotte walked down the stairs. "What can I do for you?" She asked them.

Elijah told her what had happened.

Laura wrapped her arms tightly around Caleb.

Charlotte was suddenly in front of the group. "Of course I will help you." She looked back at the older woman who had let them in. "Lucreta, is the drawing room free?"

"Yes my lady."

"Then we shall discuss this is comfort, and please bring us some blood and a drink for Marie, she must be thirsty in the warm heat."

Marie smiled softly in thanks.

Laura just clung to Caleb.

Charlotte led them into the drawing room and she walked to the fireplace as the woman brought in four humans and a drink for Marie.

"Thank you" Marie smiled softly taking the glass from the other woman.

Laura still didn't leave Caleb's side yet.

Charlotte and Elijah suddenly both grabbed a human and bit into their necks, and from the intimate noise that came from Elijah, he had been holding out for an incredibly long time.

Caleb looked at her. "It's alright."

Marie quietly sipped her drink as she kinda watched them all but not completely.

Laura slowly loosened her grip on Caleb's hand.

"Go and bite." Caleb told her as he watched both Charlotte and Elijah finish from the now dead humans.

"You've not lost your touch." Charlotte told Elijah as she watched him come down from a blood high.

Elijah gave her an evil looking smirk.

Marie watched them slightly confused but said nothing.

Laura looked as if she wanted to move but she didn't.

Caleb pulled her to her feet and over to the only humans left. "Go on."

Elijah wiped the blood from his lips and chin and held a hand out to Marie.

Marie took his hand when it was offered and pressed a light kiss to his lips not minding the lingering taste of blood on his lips.

She inhaled sharply the scent of blood filling her nose as she looked at him, wanting him to drink when she did. "And you?" She whispered softly.

"I will be."

Elijah kissed her back.

She nodded slowly moving to one of the humans and gently slipping her fangs into their neck drinking from them.

Marie smiled at him.

He smiled back.

Caleb smiled watching her, before he slid his fangs into the other womans neck.

She rested her head on his shoulder then.

Laura let the woman drop when she'd finished.

He held her close.

Caleb smiled at them.

Laura was right back at his side.

Marie waited for them to talk.

Caleb held her close.

Charlotte looked at them.

Laura wrapped her arms around him protectively.

He held her close.

"What's going to happen?.." She whispered softly.

Marie was sipping her drink.

"I'll talk to the elders."

Elijah watched her.

Marie smiled at him.

Laura hugged him tight.

Caleb held her close.

Elijah smiled back.
