Marko POV

"Fuck...Fuck...Fuck.." I kept muttering while flying with Gwen in my arms. I just fucking got this girl in my life. And I will NOT lose her now.

"You're not going to lose me for heaven's sake it's only a shoulder wound Marko!" Gwen spoke up her voice sounded so weak.

Marnie rushed out of the cave just as I landed in front of it. "Oh my gosh Gwen! David and Dwayne is over with Paul and Saige. Come on bring her inside."

Not needing to be told twice. I carried Gwen bridal style over to the couch laying her down. Marnie removed her shirt to inspect her wound. "It's deep. But I can pull it out Gwen. Unless you want Marko to do it?" Frankly I'm glad it was Marnie looking at her wound the thought of any other male looking at Gwen's bare skin at the moment made even my cold blood boil.

"Yeah. But after you do. Make what you are?" Gwen requested quietly. She groaned in agony as Marnie started to poke her wound looking for the bullet. "I know...ow.. I know I'm not 17 but Max already gave me his approval remember?"

"Gwen...This isn't like changing your mind about what top you're wearing. Once you become a vampire. You stay a vampire." I told her. I want Gwen with us. But I don't want her to feel desperate about it. Like it's her last resort. Then I felt Gwen's palm pressing against my cheek.

Her lips formed into a half-smile. " I want this. I want to be where I belong Marko. With you."

I looked at Marnie desperate for some sisterly advice. " I can't make this decision for her Marko. But we may not have a choice in the matter. Even when I get the damn bullet out. We have no idea of telling what damage it may have caused Gwen."

Sighing I got up and walked over to where David kept the wine bottle and brought it back over to Gwen. "In the words of Paul. Bottoms up." I grinned handing the bottle to Gwen. I watched while she drank it slowly. And as Gwen drank the wine Marnie finally got a firm grasp on the bullet. Quickly she pulled it out. Causing Gwen to almost choke from wincing with pain.

The wine was starting to work. Gwen looked up to me then Marnie. Her wound started to close and she had this dreamy..sleepy look on her face.

"Finally...I won't be this weak little girl anymore..." Gwen said in a whisper telepathically to me.

"Babe...You never were weak." I smiled brushing her brown hair off her cheek.

Marnie placed a hand on my shoulder. "Let's get her tucked in, go feed, then go check on Paul and Saige." Marnie got up and was almost out of the cave before she stopped then looked back at me. "You know. You're good for her. And Gwen's good for you."

"You've always been good for David too you know. You both go together like cookies and milk." I grinned following Marnie after placing Gwen safely in Marnie's room for now. "David's right though. We are definitely going to need doors for these rooms in here."

Paul POV

It happened. Just like Saige dreamed it would happen. There was no joint in the world that was big enough to calm me right now. We went to the beach to do some fast hunting for her to heal. David and Dwayne arrived just before we left the Emerson house.

"Paul...I'm fine...It wasn't totally like my dream. In my dream the house was on fire." Saige tried to reassure me. My hand found itself instinctively on where Saige was shot at.

"You were still shot. " I muttered bitterly.

"And I'm healed now. Thankfully I turned before I was shot." Saige replied trying to reassure me.

This was true but it still didn't make me feel better. Seeings how Saige knew I wasn't going to ease up on myself she did something very...very dangerous. With a devilish smile Saige reached over and before I could stop her she ruffled my hair. I grabbed Saige's wrists while she was still giggling and looked her dead in the eye.

"Woman. You know I've killed people for less than that! Literally!" I growled smirking at her.

"True. But now at least you're mad at me instead of yourself.." Saige smiled triumphantly. "I'm here. You're here. I say we count our blessings for that. Unless you want to mope for all eternity over something that could have been worse?"

"She's got a point yanno?" David from behind us. "Everyone's lucky. Including Gwen. Marnie and Marko will be joining us in a moment. Right now Gwen is sleeping peacefully in the cave after having a stiff drink. And I do mean stiff."

"So she's turning too.." spoke Saige not really seeming surprised. "What about Charlie? Did you kill him?"

David raised his eyebrow looking from Saige to me. "Thought about it. But when I felt he still has a pulse. Figured you and your sister would like to do the honors. You and Gwen have the right to decide his fate more than any of us do. Perhaps Gwen would like the bastard to be her first kill."

Marko and Marnie landed on the beach next us. "He's right." Marnie agreed with David.

"So where is Charlie?" I asked curiously. I could see that Charlie was tied in a basement through David's mind but just couldn't figure out where. David was better at blocking certain facts from us.

"Now now Paul. You don't need to know where the jackass is just yet. At least not until Saige and Gwen decide on what they want done with him." David smirked. Both Dwayne and David were better at concealing certain thoughts from us. Probably good thing. David knew that if either Marko or I found out where Charlie was being held...chances are the dude wouldn't survive long enough for Gwen and Saige to cast their judgement.

"I know how you both feel. I felt the same way when Ethan Emerson kidnapped Marnie. But I'm also glad I left it in Lucy's hands." David continued while taking out his pack of cigarettes then offered both Marko and I one.

"Come on Petrillo. Let's go and get you a fresh change of clothes." Marnie suggested hooking her arm with Saige's.

"Ah no thanks.. Don't particularly want to go back inside that house where my stuff is and where both my sister and I were shot. There's some clothes shops along the Boardwalk." Saige said simply. "You guys care if I go with Marnie though. Some girl time is really needed."

Two sisters bound eternally as well as a third being on the way. Arm in arm flying off to the Boardwalk.

"Think people will see them as menacing as they do us?" I asked reaching inside my jacket for a joint.

"Hell I find them menacing now..They're like kittens with sharper claws!" Marko replied offering me his lighter.

"How the hell did we go from being 4 to 7 in just a few months time?" David asked out loud. It was clear he as just as bewildered about it all as we were. And he's had Marnie longer then we've had Saige and Gwen.

"Fate." Dwayne simply answered. "Someone..somewhere..somehow..knew that you three needed them. And they need you. Question is will there be another anytime soon?"

"Ah cheer up old Dwayne bro. There's bound to be a chick out there somewhere who will make you seem a little less gloomy." Marko teased. I laughed out loud in response.

Both of us were frozen with a death glare from David.

"He's not gloomy. Nothing wrong with being just a little more serious than you two assholes." David smirked. "Come on. Let's go check on the ladies and prepare for our new sister's awakening."

Saige POV

Deciding that letting Marnie drive was the best thing to do.

"So you ok girly?" Marnie asked as we landed on the beach just outside the Boardwalk.

Was I ok? I just turned into a vampire. Killed a guy for food. Had some asshole shoot me and my sister. Am I ok?

"When we left Phoenix to start a new life. None of this was exactly on the to do list." I replied. Marnie smiled understanding.

We stopped a local biker clothing store. Wasn't a bad selection of clothing. At least for me anyway. Looking through the clothing rack I spotted a pair of navy blue jeans. Marnie threw a black tank top towards me. She knew my tastes. A small chain belt along with a pair of black boots. It felt sort of symbolic. Shedding my old clothes..my old life...and beginning a new.

"Just as long as you don't get rid of your feisty personality along with your clothes we won't have a problem babe." Paul said to me telepathically. I could hear the laughter in his voice.

"Oh so if I dressed up as a librarian but still kicked ass as a vampire you'd still be alright with that?" I giggled.

"HEY it could be a theme us. Vampire seduces hot librarian making her to surrender to her lustful passions of ...OW!" Paul cried in pain.

"What happened?" I asked not needing anymore disasters tonight.

"David hit me...I'll wait until I see you again to go over those...details." Paul answered.

"Hey these are pretty nifty." Marnie said waiting for me outside the changing room. Stepping out. I saw her eying the leather braided bracelets on the jewelry rack. "Why not make this a new tradition for us?"

There were only four colors to choose from. Dark blue. Burnt Orange. Dark Green. And Dark red color. Marnie picked the dark blue one naturally. I took the burnt orange. Gwen probably would take the green. Then I noticed Marnie went ahead and grabbed a dark red colored one too.

"Who's that one for?" I asked curiously. We paid for our purchases and walked out.

Marnie stopped and answered after tieing on hers. "Like I said it's a tradition. This one is for Dwayne's mate when she comes along." Marnie helped up the dark red bracelet.

"Think we'll get along? I mean you, Gwen, and I practically grew up together." It was a good question.

"I think so. The guys didn't grow together and they're brothers. And Dwayne is our brother now. It's our duty to look after him too until whoever his mate is crosses our path.

"Awww. Aren't you angels." David spoke up from behind us smirking. He walked over to the other side of Marnie putting his arm around her shoulders. Still wasn't use to the guys sneaking up on us.

Paul and Marko were play fighting as they caught up with us. Paul wrapped his own arms around my waist then pressed a kiss on my shoulder. He was mine forever. Now that was a mind-blowing thought in itself.

"So do we get a bracelet too?" Marko teased thumping his finger playfully on mine that was now on my wrist.

"Don't tease. You four have your jackets and motorcycles. Let us have our bracelets!" I smirked gave Marko's forhead a thump in return. "By the way would you teach me how to drive yours?"

Paul who was laughing hysterically now became deathly quiet. "Now babe. You know I'd do anything for you. Fly you to the moon. Rip hearts out of a dozen people. But there is no way on this earth will I ever let anyone else drive my motorcycle!"

"Why not? What's yours is mine now right? I won't wreck it!" I argued.

"Good luck Saige. I still haven't been able to get David to teach me how to drive his..." Marnie mumbled giving David an annoyed look.

"Look at the time boys and girls. It's that time we go back to the cave and sleep!" David replied trying to change to conversation.

"Fine..But Saige and I are sleeping in my room with Gwen. Just to let you know." Marnie smirked walking off and not letting David off the hook that easy.

"And where am I suppose to sleep?" David protested following after her.

"With your brothers..." Marnie answered hooking her arm back around mine and leaded me away from Paul. I couldn't help but laugh at the looks on both Paul and David's face was priceless.

"Just like old times huh Davie!" Marko smiled obviously amused at his brothers predicaments.

"How come you're taking this lightly. Figure you'd be fighting both of them over sleeping next to Gwen." Paul snapped.

Marnie and I stopped then looked at Marko. He in turn looked from us to his three brothers. Held up his hands and said. "Number one I am by no means am I taking on those two by myself! And number two it might be better for Gwen to be by her sisters for now. But I get her tomorrow night to myself after all is said and done deal?" Marko reached his hands out to me and Marnie.

We each took both his hands and shook on it. "Deal!"

"Traitor..." Both David and Paul snapped.

Eternity with these four was going to be a blast!

Gwen POV

"Gwen...Gwen.." A familiar voice spoke my name.

Slowly I opened my eyes expecting to see Marko but instead I saw the man who Saige and I missed more anything sitting on the side of my bed. He smirked at me then reached over removing a strand of hair from my face.

"Daddy?" I whispered quietly. He nodded "This is just a dream isn't it?"

Dad nodded yes in response. "I don't have much time Gwen so I have to make this short. I just wanted to say how proud I am of both you and your sister. Sticking together. Staying a family."

"And becoming vampires? You proud of that? If you're here to make sure we get revenge for you on Charlie then don't worry Da -" I started to say before Dad cut me off

"I don't want you or your sister to do anything that isn't you. Killing out of revenge isn't you. And as for this whole vampire thing. Couldn't make me love either of my girls any less. I'm just disappointed that your mother thought Charlie was her only option at surviving without me." Dad spoke sadly. "Well I have to go. And so do you. It's time for you spread your wings little child."

"Dad...No it's too soon. Don't go yet." I cried out then opened my eyes to see that I was back in Marnie's room in the cave. Marko and Saige were sitting, waiting for me to wake up. "Saige...I saw him...I saw Dad."

"I know. Marko told me." Saige smiled patting Marko's shoulder. Marko reached over for my hand which I gladly gave him. His hands always felt like silk to me but being the same nature and temperature was insanely amazing. "I'm hungry."

"Of course you are. We could make Charlie your first kill if you like." Marko suggested even after seeing my dream. He knew how much I hated Charlie.

"No. We'll deal with him after I feed. The disgusting pig would probably taste more like motor oil then anything." I smiled slowly standing up. Then I noticed something on my wrist. It was a dark green braided leather bracelet. "Where did this come from?"

"It's a new tradition Marnie and I came up with." Saige explained holding up her own wrist wearing a orange bracelet.

"Come on. Let's go get you taken care of while you can still walk." Marko wrapped his arm around my waist helping support me while walking out of Marnie's room.

"There's our new baby sister!" Paul smiled who was sitting over on the couch next to Dwayne.

"How are you feeling?" Dwayne asked looking up from the book he was reading with brotherly concern.

"Lighter; like someone took all the hurt from me." I answered. The answer probably sounded corny but it was the truth. "I'm hungry."

"There's only one way of curing that you know. Have to do it Gwen." I felt Marko's arms tighten around me. Looking up I knew he was right. Couldn't help but stop for a second and get lost studying his face. It was like studying the face of an angel but the reality was Marko was no angel. He was a demon in a sense. My demon. Forever mine. Saige and I would never be alone anymore. That felt nice to know.

"Ick...Demon...If anything Marko's nothing more than a scrawny hob goblin with curly hair and a long nose!" Paul teased interrupting our moment.

Marko turned and was about to say something to Paul until I cut him off. "Just you wait. When I get my strength first thing I'm going to do is march over and kick your shin for that!"

A look of shock and surprise landed on both Marko and Paul's face. "You're suppose to be the sweet one!" Paul protested feigning fright by stepping behind Saige.

"Don't hide behind me. If anything I'll hold you still so she can kick your shin good and hard." Saige grinned turning her head slightly looking up at Paul.

"Alright enough. Go take Gwen to feed so we get back to the Charlie issue at hand Marko." David ordered amused. "Think you two will be ok by yourselves?"

"Yeah. We'll be fine Davie." Marko smirked arrogantly.

"Stop calling me Davie!" David snapped then looked at me. "Think when you're done kicking Paul's shin you could do me a favor and kick this curly-haired monkey ass's shin as well? I'll hold him down myself ! "

Couldn't help but laugh. Before I could answer Marko hoisted me over his shoulder and out the cave we went.

"Get use to that! They love to carry women over their shoulders for some macho reason..." Marnie called out to me.

A/N ...
