A/N: I don't own anyone but my OC's, so please don't sue me….Again I want to thank everyone out there for reading and reviewing as the support has meant a great deal to me!!

Several days later….

Sam was helping Bobby pack up his beat up Chevelle when Brooklyn silently approached from behind. The sun was bright and warm and to the young vampire it felt so much more than that. She could feel its rays reaching deep within her soul filling it with a radiance that forced a smile to her face.

"Hey guys," Bobby spun around as he had not detected her presence.

"Next time make a noise or something," he grumbled roughly.

"Bobby, you know as well as I do that didn't scare you one bit."

"So? Doesn't mean I didn't have a machete in my hand and one well placed cut…."

Brooklyn rolled her eyes knowing he was just being Bobby. She leaned over picking up the last of his bags and placing them in the trunk with ease.

"So you headed back home?"

"Yep now that you and Dean are the happy united couple once again."

"Sam how bout you?"

Sam shrugged his shoulders and Brooklyn knew he wanted to stay behind with them.

"Sam you don't even need to ask, of course I expect you to hang back here. I wouldn't see it any other way."

Bobby cleared his throat before saying his goodbyes to Brooklyn and Sam.

"Hey Bobby, thanks," Brooklyn hollered.

The older man waved before driving off back to South Dakota.

Dean was occupied as he was in the midst of a much needed talk with his sire.

"Quinn you know the Elders should know you went around behind their backs and made that deal."

"Are you?" Quinn was hoping Dean wouldn't as he didn't want to feel the sharp stabbing pain of silver stakes again or chains wrapped around his body.

"It's not up to me to decide that."

Quinn nodded knowing it was up to Brooklyn to decide his fate.

"Will she tell them?"

"Perhaps it is best you ask her yourself," Dean stood and walked towards the door where Brooklyn was leaning against the wooden frame. Her eyes a rich shade of emerald as Dean came up to her.

"So his fate is in my hands. Is that a wise idea?" Brooklyn wanted to make her sire sweat a little since he had damn near cost her Dean. She watched as Quinn looked up with rich almond eyes that were silently begging, pleading with her to bestow mercy upon him. She could sense his fear and apprehension as he sat there at the small table while rubbing his hands over and around one another. Brooklyn looked back up at Dean seeing cool emerald pools looking right back at her.

"You know what you have to do, Brook," Dean leaned in kissing her softly and caressing her face before leaving her alone with Quinn.

She slowly and methodically crossed the room and eased her slender form in the chair across from Quinn. Quinn watched as she slid her cell phone from her pocket and playfully tossed it from hand to hand. Her eyes now a shade of dark slate.

"I should call Aiden but because I am a woman who believes in second chances I am giving you the chance to convince me why I shouldn't."

Brooklyn watched as Quinn sat there rubbing the back of his neck struggling to develop a convincing argument. He fidgeted and looked down at his hands before finally pulling his head up to face his progeny.

"Brook, I know what I did was not only heinous and selfish, but it was wrong. I only thought of myself that night at the Crossroads and used Damon to push in my arms. But now I see the foolishness and arrogance of my choices as Brennan nearly died then you as well. But what little selfless acts I have done will never amend the pain I brought upon you and him. Saying sorry will never change anything but I want you to know this: I love you. I did not expect to lose my heart to anyone, above all the soulmate of Brennan."

Quinn laughed bitterly at the last statement. Brooklyn lifted an eyebrow curious as to why he would laugh in such a manner.

"Am I missing something?"

Her sire abruptly quit laughing and focused his eyes back on Brooklyn who was now sliding the phone on the table between her hands like a hockey puck.

"No Brook I was just seeing the irony in all of this that is all."

Brooklyn nodded her head as she quit playing with her phone and placed it aside. She leaned over and caught Quinn's hands within her own. They felt warm as his hands rested comfortably within her smaller ones.

"Quinn, listen to me. I will not turn you in to the Elders. I am giving you one last chance and if you don't make good of it, well you know what'll happen," she covered her phone with one hand. Quinn covered her remaining hand with both of his bringing them up to his lips and pressing them against the top. It was hard for him to do this but she was giving him another chance and he could bide his time. The vampire wasn't about to give up on her but instead he would lay low and find another way to win her heart.

"Thank you," he whispered looking up with gratitude in his timeless eyes. Quinn reached out stroking the side of her face watching as she leaned into his touch.

"Please don't make me regret my decision," she said with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"You won't Brook."

Brooklyn nodded as a smile started forming up on the corners of her mouth.

"Good," was all she needed to say.

Quinn slowly rose and rounded the small table and took her by the hands. He leaned in wanting to taste her lips once again. As her blood mate, he was permitted as such but it was bittersweet. The heated pressure of his mouth against hers ignited the fire that had been quiet deep within the recesses of her being. Her sire sensed her body beginning to respond to him as he immediately pulled away.

"No," he whispered sadly despite wanting her as well.

She nodded her head as he pressed his forehead to hers and kissed her one last time.

"This is but only a temporary good bye," Quinn whispered in her ear before releasing her hand and leaving her sight.

Dean was seated beside Sam when his sire entered the room.

"I will be leaving now, Brennan. But know I will never be too far away from you."

"I know Quinn," Dean rose to see his sire off.

The truck was parked in the gravel driveway and ready to go. Dean tossed Quinn the keys watching as he caught them with one snap of his wrist. The vampire hesitated for a moment before walking towards his progeny.

"Brennan, I hope that someday we can become closer and put the centuries of pain behind us."

"Perhaps," Dean quietly answered.

"But until then," Quinn captured Dean's mouth within his own. Dean resisted at first but then slowly felt his body melting into it. Quinn ran his tongue along the other man's teeth and hot recesses of his mouth as Dean responded in kind. Centuries old passions were being reignited between them the longer the vampires were locked together. The strong hands of his sire ran up and down Dean's sides then reached around to come to rest on the tight muscular ass as Dean's slid up the front Quinn's jeans feeling the bulge growing behind the worn denim.

Dean broke away with full swollen lips and glazed over look in his eyes.

"Quinn……" A stunned look was frozen on Dean's face.

Quinn merely winked and planted one last hot kiss before hopping in the truck and driving away.

"Oh Brennan you still have it in you…." The vampire laughed to himself.

Dean shook his head and saw the tell tale bulge in his jeans.

"Damn it Quinn!" He growled in frustration as he stormed back inside the house.

Brooklyn was going over something with Sam on the computer as the vampire marched inside.

"Dean are you alright?" Brooklyn rushed to his side seeing he was visibly upset.

Without saying a word the vampire rushed in crashing his mouth hard against hers. He didn't care if Sam was right there and rolling his eyes at the scene before him.

"Alright you two take somewhere else....." Sam groaned.

He broke away and took her face in his hands and whispered to where only she could hear.

"Let's head towards the back," his tone hushed but full of heated lust and need. His aura contagious as Brooklyn nodded her head earnestly as he took her hand and led her towards the back bedroom.

I have the epilogue left then I will be working on the next part of the series! Since I'm home sick my brain has plenty of time to think!
