A/N: Here's the next chapter and we're back in Romania for a bit.

"Ow!" Christine yelped as Meg accidently stabbed her with a pin. She stood on a little stool in her maid of honor dress while Meg pinned some of the fabric together.

"I'm sorry, but you keep shaking." Meg apologized to her friend. "You need to relax."

"I'm trying; but after yesterday, how can I relax?" Meg sighed. Christine had been shaking all day from yesterday with Erik almost killing Ronald.

"Hey it isn't easy for Erik right now either. He's ashamed of himself and right now, hates himself even more than he used to."

"He hates himself?" Christine asked her, looking down at Meg who was nodding. "Why does he hate himself?"

"Would you hate yourself if you were a vampire who basically lost the love of your life, almost killed your love's fiancé and basically kill people for their blood?" Meg asked Christine.

"Yeah I can see your point now."

"Exactly; so I don't think Erik needs you still worked up about it." Christine nodded. "Good, now stand still or I will stab you again." She ordered her friend. Sighing, Christine tried to stand still until Meg was finished pinning the dress. Once the dressed was pinned, Christine took it off so Meg could put it away to work on it in Romania. After she finished getting dressed, Christine and Meg went out to lunch.

The two friends decided to grab Chinese for lunch. Meg knew a place where they had great food and took Christine there. Getting the restaurant, they sat down ordered their drinks. The waitress came back with their drinks and took their orders. After writing down their orders, she left them alone. Meg took a sip of her water as Christine started the conversation.

"I can't believe the wedding is almost here."

"I know, right?" Meg set down her water. "I can't believe it either, but I can't wait. I'm so ready to be married to Nadir. He's just a great guy." Christine could see how happy Meg was with Nadir.

"Where are you guys planning on living after the wedding?" She asked.

"Erik is letting us live with him in the castle. Since Leila moved out, there's a whole part of the castle that was hers and he's letting us move in." Meg answered.

"That is nice of him." Meg nodded.

"It's very nice of him. And we'll be able to keep him company for the many years to come."

"Wait…Nadir and Erik will live for eternity." Christine stated. "How are you going to live…well basically forever?" Christine asked, very curious.

"Well I can't become a werewolf, that's only if you're born with the gene."

"So he can't bite you and you'll become a werewolf?" Meg shook her head.

"It doesn't work like that, sadly though."

"So…how is it going to work then?" Christine asked Meg again.

"Well Nadir and I want kids, not sure how many at the moment though. However, after we have a few kids and I say I don't want more…Erik is going to change me into a vampire." Meg told her. Christine's eyes widen at Meg's answer.

"He's going to change you?" She nodded. "He agreed to it?"

"Yeah he did. I'm surprised still that he agreed; but I think because he knew that Nadir and I love each other so much, that he doesn't want to see his friend heartbroken when I die. So he agreed to change me and he'll teach me how to be a vampire, but one a special diet."

"Special diet?"

"Instead of human blood like him, he'll get me to drink animal blood. He says that there isn't a big difference and that he doesn't want me to depend so much on humans like him. So in a way, I'm not really becoming a monster like him." Meg explained. Christine only nodded, surprised that Erik was going to make Meg into a vampire. "I know that you're probably a bit upset that Erik didn't agree to change you and agreed to change me, but know that he's doing this for Nadir."

"I-I understand…really I'm fine. I can see why Erik would agree." Christine said.

"You sure you're fine?" Meg asked.

"I'm positive."

"If you say so…"

"I am." She decided to change the subject. "When does your flight leave?" Christine asked.

"Three hours." Meg answered. "Erik and Nadir are packing up Erik's stuff then they'll be packing up Nadir's stuff. Once we get back to Romania, Erik will help us get everything ready and then you'll come back to Romania." She smiled as Christine.

"I can't wait to get back, I miss it there so much."

"We miss you there as well. Ranger wouldn't stop howling for months after you left."

"Really?" Meg nodded.

"Oh yeah, it was driving Erik crazy."

"Aw well I miss Ranger so much. I wish I was allowed dogs at my apartment. I can only have cats but since Ronald is allergic to cats and dogs…"

"So how is he going to stay at Erik's place?" Meg asked. "Zeus is there, along with Ranger too."

"Who's Zeus?" Christine asked, not knowing. She knew all of the wolves and werewolves' names.

"Oh Zeus is Erik's new dog."

"Dog?" Meg nodded.

"He's a Romanian Carpathian Shepherd dog. He's is a beauty to look at and only one year old. His coat is beautiful though, very wolfish…like Ziva's coat, just with a sandy color mixed in as well." Christine nodded, knowing who Ziva is. Ziva is one of the female wolves in the pack. Her coat is a combination of grey and black. "You'll see him when you come to Romania and stay at the castle. Oh make sure to tell Ronald not to go to the cave or else he might get eaten since Erik can't really go out hunting with everyone around."

"Does he have enough blood in the storage?" Christine asked as she took a bit of her meal.

"Oh yeah, he'll be fine. It's all stored in the cellars and I know that no one will venture down into the cellars…well except for maybe you and me." Christine nodded. Meg's phone went off, saying that everything is packed.

"All packed up?" Meg nodded, replying back to Nadir's text. "Are you heading to the airport soon?"

"Yeah, we have to because Erik needs to get Ranger cleared to leave the country." Meg took out her wallet to pay for her meal. The two women stood up to say good bye. "I'll see you back in Romania soon." She hugged her friend.

"See you then." Christine smile and watched her friend leave the restaurant. She sat back down to finish her mean and then pay for it. Leaving the restaurant, she headed back to the studio apartment where Ronald was doing some work. Checking the time, she had a few hours until she would need to head to the theatre for the show. She decided to spend some time with Ronald before she would leave for the theatre.

After several hours, Erik finally got back to this castle. Zeus came running to greet him at the door as Ranger went running pass to the kitchen. Once the dog settled down, Erik headed down to the cellars of the castle. Reaching the storage, he checked how much blood and meat he had. He knew he would have to save up over the next several weeks on blood since he would not be able to go out hunting around the time of the wedding. Checking the supplies he still had, he made a mental note of how much he'll need to save during the next several weeks. Locking up the storage, he headed back upstairs. That night, he decided not to go for out hunting. Instead, he stayed at the castle with Ranger and Zeus.

the dog breed mentioned in this chapter is a real breed and a quick fact about the wolf pack, they're Eurasian wolves.
