Raven Durbinsky was walking about her home in the early night thinking… I wonder if maybe we should have another gathering for Christmas. Inside of her head she hears her lifemate Mikhail chuckle. Just what pray tell is so funny? I think it would be a good idea and besides we need to bring everyone together again. It would be the perfect chance to do so don't you think? Mikhail walks up behind his only love and wraps her in his embrace. He snuggled closer to her breathing in the scent of her hair. He kissed her neck and whispered something in her ear.

"You know my love maybe we should go pay a visit to our daughter and her family and tell them of your idea."

"Mikhail Durbinsky! You had better not be planning to do what I think you are?"

What is that my darling? Perhaps my son-in-law will be willing to sacrifice a night for the children again?

You know he will never do it. Why must you torture him with that thought?

He is our son-in-law and he took our daughter from us. He deserves payback and this is it.

You forget though that when he took our daughter he gave us two beautiful grandchildren, ones that happen to adore you. Don't scare them with your antics about Gregori being Santa again.

Let us go visit our daughter this night, love.

Mikhail and Raven took the form of mist and started toward their daughter's home. Once there Raven was still trying to get her lifemate to reconsider asking their daughter's lifemate Gregori to be Santa once again. She was having no such luck and figured maybe her daughter would be able to talk some sense into her father since while growing up Savannah always was a daddy's girl and still sometimes is a daddy's girl. For some insane reason she isn't that close any more to her father. Of course she has a lifemate and two girls that she has to take care of.

Savannah must have sensed her parents coming because before either could send a message to their daughter she was at the door rushing them inside. Before quickly shutting the door, Savannah escorted her parents into the sitting room. Raven and Mikhail look around the room and see Gregori bent over his daughter Anastasia.

"Ana! Savannah what happened here?" Raven asked her daughter as she is rushing over to her granddaughter's side.

"Anastasia was hurt and Anya was taken by the vampire that attacked Anastasia sensed as they were coming home from visiting Uncle Jacques and Aunt Shea."

Mikhail cursed in his head, damn it! How could someone get that close to the girls?

Mikhail calm down. Raven snapped.
