Reuniting Tornedalians

She nodded sipping her drink.

He sipped his drink.

She finished her drink.

Hefinished his and got to his feet. "I'd best get going."

She nodded getting to her feet. "I'll walk you out."

He nodded.

She walked with him to the door owning it for him.

He headed out when she held the door open for him and he looked back at her. "See you around?"

She nodded. "I'm sure you will."

He then seemed to simply disappeared from sight, heading home.

She shut her door after he was gone.

He headed home and for reason he couldn't get Jesse from his mind,

Back at the house both Laura and Marie were cleaning.

Michelle was with Christian.

Christian had remained upstairs with her and for the past few hours that Eric had been gone, they had been talking things out.
________

Eric got to the trees on the edge of his family's garden and he saw his mother and aunt through the window cleaning.

She had explained why she had left and all her fears but that she loved him and having been gone only showed her that she needed him.

-----
Marie sensed him outside and glanced out the window smiling his way.

Christian had accepted what she had said, as he was lying on his side on the bed listening to her and he was gently tracing a pattern on her thigh.
_______

Eric smiled back when he saw her, before something caught his eye, looking to the side, he noticed one of the hunters skulking closer to the house, out of Marie's line of sight.

She was on her back looking at him a small shiver running through her at his touch.

-----
She finished what she was doing.

Eric suddenly shot forward, colliding with the man who had aimed a weapon at Marie through the window and as they both rolled along the floor, Eric forced himself to his feet, watching the man as he fumbled with his gun.

Christian smiled slightly seeing her shiver, before he heard his brother's snarl from outside.

Both Marie and Laura heard the noise as well dropping what they were doing and racing outside.

She froze hearing the noise. "Go."

Christian got there just as the gun went off and he managed to push both him and Eric out of the way, so that they both hit the ground.

Marie and Laura took after the man intending to deal with him.

"You're a fool brother." Eric told him as they got to their feet.

Elijah and Caleb soon appeared with Angel ad they took in the scene before them. "What happened?" Elijah demanded and the brothers looked at him, telling him what had happened and at hearing that Marie and Laura went after the man, Elijah and Caleb were gone.

The kids had managed to take care of things just as they had intended to and we're on their way back.

Michelle had remained inside.

Elijah and Caleb met them half way and Elijah snagged Marie's waist, causing her to hit his chest with her back. Whilst Caleb had simply stopped in front of Laura and when she ended up hitting him he hit the floor.

Christian and Eric headed inside, bringing Angel with them to at least protect her as more came and more did, the one Eric attacked obviously being a distraction for the older vampires.

Both girls blinked in surprise. "What are you two doing!" The both hissed in unison the surprise of it having startled them both.

Michelle looked at them. "I'll keep an eye on her it's all, Alexander too."
