A/N – Same ol', Same ol'! Don't own Morganville characters, Elizabeth is my own, story idea is my own. Enjoy and please R&R.

Shane woke alone in Elizabeth's bed, her side was cold, it didn't mean much she was always cold; he looked over at the clock to see that it was almost 6 am, his muscles where tight and the memories of the pain he caused Elizabeth came flooding back to him and then came the hunger.

Elizabeth exited the blood bank cool bag in hand, her eyes scanning her surroundings; it was just past sun up but there where those who were desperate enough to attack even now,

"Well, well, well" came a voice, "Never thought I'd see you again" came a female voice,

"Is that little Miss Goth girl?" Elizabeth smiled,

"Yeah fake vamp it is" the girl dressed in overly gothic clothes smiled

"Eve Rosser, you my dear are a sight for sore eyes" she laughed, "how are things?"

"Complicated" Eve sighed holding up a cool bag of her own, Elizabeth stared at her, "Not me of course" Eve said,

"Yeah the sunlight and all" Elizabeth laughed, "But who…No, My Nephew?" Elizabeth gasped, Eve nodded,

"I thought you got home delivery?" Eve changed the subject,

"Don't do that?" Elizabeth said, "Don't change the subject, and I do but I have a house guest that requires more than I have delivered at the moment"

"Who? A new vamp or old?" she asked clearly ignoring the subject of Elizabeth's nephew.

"Um, New" Elizabeth mumbled,

"New as in brand-new" Elizabeth looked shocked at the statement

"Long story…look call me at the house later and we can arrange a time to meet up and catch up…and I won't forget you changed the subject" Elizabeth smiled, "You better get going you don't want to be seen carrying you know what around" Elizabeth and Eve bid one another farewell and headed their separate ways.

"Shane I'm back" She called entering the house, there was no answer, she stopped and listened, there was water running, she headed up the stairs and the water cut off, and Shane came running out of the room, eyes red, he stopped seeing her,

"Where were you, I was scared, I couldn't go out" he yelled,

"I was getting you blood" she snapped, Shane stopped staring at the floor

"I'm sorry…" he said, "I just panicked"

"It's ok, its hard…it'll get easier" she moved closer and took Shane in her arms, "Get dressed, I'll have your blood ready" she whispered,

"Ready?" he asked,

"The stuff is vile cold" she leant forward and places a hot kiss on Shane's lips. "Go get dressed" with that Elizabeth headed back down the stairs and into the kitchen, she prepared the blood for Shane before putting the rest back into the fridge, as she was sorting the fridge she felt a body come up behind her, he smile faded as the smell of stale beer and sweat hit her nose, she stood up closing the fridge,

"Mr Collins" she swallowed hard

"I told you I would be back" he hissed in her ear, a dagger pressed into her back…
