******Five years later******

Marina drank from the unlabeled bottle. Even then she could taste the dulled bittersweet taste of cold blood. She watched Silver as he talked with Siete as if they were old friends. Her head snapped toward the door of Las Noches as the aura of a witch fell over her. She could tell by the healing properties it held who it was.

"Caryn" she said said it smiling as Caryn walked reluctantly over.

"Hello, Marina. It's been a long time" Caryn sat only after Marina gestured to a chair.

Silver looked over his shoulder to find Caryn as did Siete's. Marina watched as Caryn looked to Siete then averted her gaze downward blushing. Marina rose an eyebrow her chocolate brown eyes sparkling with laughter. Could it be Caryn had an 'intimate' relationship with Siete? By the way her brain was working over time she could tell she did. Marina also noticed Siete's aura splayed all over the room which would choke any witch-except he was pulling it away from her.

Marina laughed witch got Caryn's attention. "You didn't tell me you had acquaintences with Siete."

"No I didn't!" she tried swallowing a smile to look offended that Marina had read her mind but failed. "So how is life treating you Marina?"

"What life I'm dead remember?" Marina drank from the bottle and saw Caryn slightly cringe.

"Yeah well life has been kind of boring without you Marina you were kind of like a spark, but you must be happy right?" Caryn asked sounding hopeful.

"Of course," Marina thought of the night she had killed her father and smiled "Very happy. Silver and I have decided to go traveling, he has many houses in almost every country worth going to. We are going to Greece in December, We diecided to take it one continent at a time."

Caryn laughed. "Yeah well that sounds amazing I wish I could travel around the world and visit all those countries, it really sucks to know I live on a human life-span" she leaned on the bar her hand cradling her head.

"You can always get a longer one, Caryn. All you have to do is ask." Marina said quickly, hopefully.

"You know I can't and even if I did I know I wouldn't be anywhere in your league, it would be embarassing to befriend a weaker vampire wouldn't it?"

"Caryn I'm stronger than every vampire except Silver and Siete, it is kind of hard not to befriend a weaker vampire. Anyway after I told Jessica about my life story she is itching to get my story printed, you included and I'm afraid she might put you in another trial if she dreams about this meeting we are having."

"Well if she has a dream about this meeting I'm pleading with her not to write anything about this day-night-whatever it is!" Caryn rolled her eyes.

Siete suddenly came behind Caryn and Silver behind Marina.

"What?" Marina asked Silver as he swooped down and kissed her tenderly.

"I have decided Siete and Caryn are cominig traveling with us-of course if that is alright with you" he looked up at Caryn who was engaged in a silent conversation with Siete.

"Yes, yes, why not I'll leave Brienn in charge the kid is going to get it anyway after I die." Caryn said exasperated.

"You would not die if you accepted my offer" Siete said laying a hand over hers and pulling it up for a kiss.

Marina laughed at the display and realized Caryn was already giving in to Siete. They were all going to live forever as friends and Marina was going to live-an undead life- with the one male vampire she loved. ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~! ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!
