"Do you really love me? Do you love me enough to deal with all the

stuff that could happen between us good and bad?" She nodded

"Only if you love me enough to promise me the same." she said. He pulled her to him wraping his arms around her waist so that she was sitting in his lap.

"I think I found my new favorite piece of furniture." she smiled

"Careful.... this furniture bites." he grinned wickedly. She kissed him softly wrapping her arms around his neck. She pulled back to look at him. She brushed the hair away from his face and bent down to whisper in his ear.

"I believe I have an IOU from earlier."

"I’m a man of my word." he whispered fliping her over so that he was slightly on top of her. He ran his hands over her stomach feeling her skin warm to his touch.

"When did you get this?" he asked playing with her belly button ring. "About two months ago on my birthday." she said "How old are you?"

"just turned 18. My sister Mara and I were so excited because we could finally do what we wanted. I got my belly button piereced and she got a tattoo. Then about a month later I got the tattoo and she got her belly button piereced. For awhile you could tell us apart. She must have freaked when I disappeared." Matt looked sad. He couldn’t imagine being torn from his brother. He knew by the sound of her voice that she must miss her sister.

"Why don’t we go out? I’m hungry" he said letting her up.

"What’s the matter? I thought we were going to...." Matt was already down the latter. She sighed to herself and followed him. He was beginning to drive her crazy. One minute he was ready to bring her so much pleasure that she wouldn’t be able to contain it and the next her was pushing her away. ~Matthew, you are such a tease! You won the battle but before this night is over I will have what I want! ~She thought~I know... let’s go I’m starving!~ he sent back.

Edge watched her carefully. The resemblence was uncanny. Red hair, green eyse, tattoo, belly button ring. An exact replica. Edge watched her and followed her as she left. He walked up behind her and sank his fangs into her neck roughly. She moaned and passed out He was careful not to kill her. He had big plans for her. She was the key to it all. Gabrielle opened the door and helped edge put her in the car. She looked at him and smiled. She licked the remaining blood off of his lip.

"You my sweet are an evil genius!" she said "Soon they will either bow before us or be crushed under our heels. Remember...you are the king now and there is room for only one queen. Maybe we don’t have to kill her. Maybe you could get control of her mind and she could fulfill some of your more minor needs.

Edge kissed Gabrielle hungrily. He opened the door for her and stepped around to the other side of the car.

"Dru must die. She will never turn..but this one..I’m keeping. She has an evil heart like us."

Matt walked into the club with Dru close behind him. They found a booth and sat down. Matt eyed the room nervously.

"What’s the matter?" she asked

"Nothing just a little tense" he said

~Let’s feed and get home and I’ll relieve all that tention. ~ she smiled. Matt smiled. He spotted their meal. A woman around 19. She left the club and Matt stalked out after her. He caught her in the alley just outside the club and sank his fangs into her neck. He drank deeply and shoved her toward Dru who had been admiring the fit of his shirt. She drank greedily. Matt sat with his arms crossed against his chest.smiling. Dru let the woman fall and sat there with her head in her hands as the blood ran through her. Matt wrapped his arms around her to steady her.

"It get eaasier...C’mon let’s go home." he said as he led her over to the black jeep.
