Blood shot up from his lounging postion at Thorn's words. He didn't need to specify who she was. That's how they'd always referred to her in the 78 years that the two vampires had known eachother.

"You're sure?" he asked, almost afraid to hope.

"Yes, of course I'm sure, boss! She's got the birthmark, and everything!" Thorn's voice sounded rushed. "But, listen! That isn't the most important thing."

"What could be more important than the fact that you found her?" Blood asked, confused.

"She's with a witch. The witch claims to be her cousin, but I have my doubts."

Blood rolled his eyes. "Thorn, most of the witches are a part of Circle Daybreatk. Plus, they can have children with humans, so she probably is her cousin. I wouldn't worry."

"No, boss, please just let me finish." Thorn sounded exasperated. "The witch-she has the scent of one of the worst vampires out there all over her. I can't quite remember his name, but it's definatly there."

Blood's eyes grew wide. "What?" he half cried.

"Just-just call Lord Thierry and get him over here as fast as possible. The witch knows that I'm vampire I could sense that much, but she's good at shielding her thoughts. She almost does it without thinking."

Nodding, Blood mumbled an "Okay" before hanging up, disregarding the fact that he was the one supposed to be giving orders instead of recieving them. He opened his phone up, again and dialed Lord Thierry's number before leaning forward to Nilsson.

"Do you know what house that Thorn is stationed at?" he asked.

Nilsson nodded back at him. "Yes, sir."

"Take me there. I have some buisness to attend to."

"Yes, sir."

Kaylie glanced up as Thorn made his way back down the stairs. He had a slightly relieved-anxious expression on her face, one that she didn't quite like. Never the less, she just brushed it off.

"We're making hot pockets" she smiled, motioning to Brittany who was taking the second batch out of the oven. "Would you like some?"

Thorn smiled, and waved his hand, shaking his head. "No thank you. I don't think any food would agree with my stomach after the flight."

"I can agree with you, there." Brittany chuckled, though Kaylie could tell that it was strained. "Food never sits well with me after a long trip."

"Was I talking to you?" Thorn hissed turning to glare at her.

Brittany returned the look, as she set down the tray on top of the stove. "Look, I don't know what your big deal is!" she cried, pointing a finger over at him. "But I didn't do anything wrong!"

"Oh, you sure as hell know what you did!" Thorn cried back, taking a menacing step forward. "Filthy son of a bitch!"

"Okay!" Kaylie cried jumping in between them. They were merely feet apart now, and she was scared that there was going to be a brawl. "Everyone just shut the hell up!"

The two blondes looked at her with surprise written all over their faces. "I don't know what's going on, here but do you guys mind explainign why you seem to hate each other so much?"

"How should I know?" Brittany cried. "I've never seen the man before in my life!"

"Yeah, but I can smell that flithy vampire scent all over you!" Thorn hissed, trying to push Kaylie out of the way.

"Vampire scent..." Brittany whispered, before her eyes grew wide. Kaylie groaned, internally. Great. Another crazy psycopath that believed vampires exsited and would try to make her younger cousin believe, as well. "Oh... you must mean-"

But she never got a chance to finish, for the front door burst open to reveal a guy with black and red hair. He was just as hot as Thorn in a more dark sort of way.

"Sorry it took me so long!" the new guy appologized, making his way over to Thorn. "Lady Hannah couldn't quite get the message that I wanted to talk to Lord Thierry. So, where are they?"

Thorn pointed towards the two girls who were both staring in shock. The new guy took on elook at Kaylie and something that resembled relief and happiness crossed his face. Then, he turned to look at Brittany, and growled.

"You were right, Thorn. She does have his stench. Fern Redfern, the bastard." he growled taking a menacing step towards the blonde.

Kaylie's eyes widened. She didn't know what led her to do what she did, but she jumped protectivly in front of her cousin. "If you wanna touch her, you're gonna have to go through me." she hissed, glaring at the black haired boy.

Blood stared at the newest reincarnation of Kylie, not believing his eyes and ears. Why was she trying to protect this witch who stunk of the dreaded Redfern?

Well, duh! Obviously because she believed that the two of them were related. He'd've done the same, if he had any of his own family still alive.

"It doesn't matter." he sighed, turning away, though still keeping his eye on the witch to make sure she didn't touch his precious soulmate. "I have back up that should be here any second, now."

Right on cue, Lord Thierry, Delos, Morgead, Galen, Keller, Quinn, Ash and Rashel came bursting through the gaping hole in the wall, all ready in a fighting pose.

"Where's the witch?" Delos cried, glancing around.

Blood smiled, before turning and pointing to the blonde behind his soulmate who was gaping at the group.

"Thierry!" she cried, launching herself into Lord Thierry's awaiting arms. "Who is that guy?"

Lord Thierry glared up at him through his ageless eyes. "Mind to tell me why you were about to hurt my daughter?" he growled.

Blood took a step back. Whoa, he hadn't seen that one coming.
