"This is not something I take lightly. Eric, a sliver wrapped coffin for now," Godric's voice was strained; it made Hannah even more uneasy. "Yes Godric."

Guests quickly started there conversations up with one another again talking about the scene that just happened. "Are you in pain?"

"No, it's not so bad anymore. What happened? Where were you?" she gazed at him waiting for answers. "That doesn't matter, it's over now," his eyes were still darting over the injured parts of her face. "Do you have any other injuries than this?" His hand cupped her swollen cheek. "Not really. He was very careful."

"'Not really' doesn't qualify as 'No' Hannah," He looked at her square in the eyes. She sighed and lowered her eyes once more. "I think he was going to crush my leg, but my father came home and he let go," Her hand gently touched her left leg.

"Alright, come with me," his grip on her hand wouldn't allow any other action but to follow him. He led the way down the dark hallway to his room, she had never seen.

He motioned for her to sit in the chair over in the corner of the room. The dark blue velvet tickled the back of her knees.

Godric dropped to one knee and gently moved her skirt up to just above her knee, the look in his eyes was uncertain. Hannah replaced his hand with her own and drug her skirt up to her mid thigh to show him the sick purple and black bruise.

In a blur Godric's bloody wrist was in front of her face. "Just a little," he motioned for her to take the dripping appendage as a few drops made there was down and splattered on her bruised thigh.

"I don't know….." she narrowed her eyes at him. "Just a mouth full and you'll be completely healed in a few minutes." He bargained. "Just a mouth full…" she placed her lips around the now small wound and took a small swallow. A small movement caught Hannah's eye and she glanced at the doorway to see that Eric was back.

"That was a sip, we agreed a mouth full. Again," he held his reopened wrist back up to her. She sighed and drew deeply on him this time. A small shutter went threw Godric and Eric stood up a little straighter it seemed as he witnessed the exchange.

Hannah shivered and rolled her shoulders back, as she gripped Godric's wrist. A deep breath was exhaled, "You won't let me do anything stupid like try to fly right. 'Cause I feel like I could." Her bruises were quickly healing before their eyes.

Godric's laugh was almost foreign to Eric, but the sound of it was enough to but a smiled on his face. Hannah's body slumped forward and she wrapped herself around Godric's body in a full hug and gently rubbed her now healed cheak against his in an animal like gesture.

"You'll be just fine," He smirked. "Let's go back out." He pulled her skirt back down so it rested just below her knees. The grip Hannah had on his wrist had turning into hand holding as they walked out of the room and back out to the party.

After making some small talk with the people that approached them a woman in a bright red dress floated threw the front door and made a beeline for a dark haired vampire. Godric was still having a small conversation with some one, but Hannah couldn't help but stair at her. This situation had bad news written all over it.

When the vampire gripped a blonde human woman by the throat Hannah moved quicker that she ever had in her short life. Her fingers wove themselves threw the vampire's up-do and pulled her head back from going to the blonde's throat.

All of this happened in seconds and the vampire woman hissed at the small figure of Hannah. She could feel Godric at her back, what the fuck did she just do? "Retract your fangs," Godric's voice was angry again. This was not a good night for him.

The interaction between the two vampires was calm, but the female vampire was clearly scared of him and upset over something. With a few words she was dismissed and escorted from his nest.

"I thought you weren't going to let me do anything stupid," She looked at him wide eyed "Me grabbing a strange vampire is very stupid." "I will never let anything happen to you that shouldn't." "What's that suppose to mean?" "Now is not the time…."

"Excuse me everyone. My name is Luke and I have a message for all of you from Rev. Steve Newlin."
