Answer to MissRuthless: I'm sorry to hear that you felt disappointed but I might be able to give you some good news because this chapter here is supposed to be the turning point in their relationship. I do hope you are here to read it and be reassured that your comment wasn't rude at all. Happier times are to com for Eddie and Dwayne.
Thank you for reviewing

"Alex?" the gun was lowered as the person stepped fully into the dimly lit room.
"Eddie" the deep familiar voice confirmed her question.
"Vad gör du här? Med ett vapen?!" (What are you doing here? And with a gun?!) she hissed at him, shielding Laddie from her older brother. Not that she thought that he would hurt the boy but he had the gun for a reason.
"Jag kunde inte leva med mig själv efter vad vi gjorde! Det var fel! Jag tänker ta dig här ifrån, men vi måste åka nu!" (I couldn't live with myself after what we did! It was wrong! I'm going to take you out of here, but we have to go now!" he looked around the room as if he expected someone to jump at him from the shadows.
"Jasså det är så dags att komma nu! Om du nu ångrade dig så sävla mycket så hade du väl kunnat komma lite tidigare!" (Oh so it's time to come now! If you regretted it so fucking badly you could have come a bit earlier!) not in a million years had she expected him, or anyone else, to come back for her. What was she supposed to do now? She wanted to go home! But she couldn't just get up and leave Laddie and Paul or Dwayne… hell she couldn't even bring herself to leave Max, Marko and David!
"Jag vet! Okej, jag vet! Men pappa hävdar att det var för ditt eget bästa… och jag var tvungen att åka utan att någon anade nått." (I know! Okay I know! But dad claims that it was for your own good… and I had to leave without anyone suspecting anything.) There was panic evident in his voice and the pain in his eyes was something she wasn't used to, nor did she partially like it.
"Alex… Jag…" (Alex… I…) she was interrupted by the quiet words of the boy behind her "Eddie, what's going on?" as she turned to him she found there to be tears in his eyes.
"Don't worry Laddie everything is okay, this is my brother Alex, he's come to… visit…"
"He's going to take you away, isn't he?" the fear in the boy's face broke her heart like nothing else.
"No no! of course not Laddie! I'm not leaving you, ever! I promise" she said, pulling him into her arms.
"Eddie du har bara en chans att följa med, ta med dig ungen om du vill men vi måste åka nu!" (Eddie you only have one chance to come with me, bring the kid is you want but we have to go now!) the urgency in Alex's voice spoke of the severity of the situation and the choice she had to make.
"What's going on here?!" a voice boomed, causing Alex to hurriedly turn around and aim his gun towards the door. Max, Eddisa had never been scared of him, never even a little, but as he stood there, eyes gleaming in reds and yellows, brows disfigured and fangs protruding she fear ripple down her spine. Not fear for herself but fear for her brother.
"I've come to take my sister back! She should never have been forced here! It was wrong and I'm here to undo it!" Alex barked, positioning himself in front of Eddie.
"Oh I don't think so, what's done is done and I don't think my boys would be very happy if I let you their sister away from them now" Max said, a chilling smile on his lips, eyes momentarily glazing over. He must have contacted them, which wasn't good.
"She's my sister not theirs! And we're leaving! Kom Eddie" (come Eddie) Alex motioned for her to move with his head.
"Alex du måste gå!" (Alex you have to leave!) she knew that if he didn't go now the boys would arrive and things could get nasty.
"Va?!" (What?!)
"Nu!" (Now!)
"Nej! Jag åker inte utan dig! Fattar du inte? Det är nu eller aldrig!" (No! I'm not leaving without you! Don't you get it? It's now or never!) He didn't have much more time to say anything before Dwayne crashed through the door, he must have flown to get there so fast. Her brother and mate looked at each other with equal rage.
"You step away from her!" Dwayne growled, squaring his shoulders and letting his face morph into that of a monster.
"No!" the word barely left Alex's mouth before Dwayne rushed forward putting his hands around her brother's neck.
"Stop it! Dwayne! STOP IT!" she shot off of the couch pulling on his arms, pushing herself between their bodies. Alex face was turning blue by the time she finally got her mate of him. Dwayne pulled her possessively into his chest backing them both away.
"You're not taking her!" his voice was nothing but deadly. She ran her hands up and down the arms holding her trying to calm their owner while looking at her barely conscious brother.
"Dwayne let go of me I need to make sure he's okay"
"No"
"Dwayne!" she gave him a pointed look "I'm not leaving you! I just have to make sure you didn't do any damage!" reluctantly he loosened his arms but not before he buried his face at the crook of her neck kissing his mark. Sparks erupted from where his lips touched her, sending shivers through her body. Leaving his arms she walked over to Alex helping him to his feet.
"Förlåt Alex, men jag kan inte följa med dig" (I'm sorry Alex, but I can't come with you) she whispered into his ear as she let herself be enveloped in his embrace. They just stood there for a while, she wasn't sure if he kept hugging her because he wanted to or because he was still regaining full consciousness. No matter the reason she quickly came to the conclusion that no matter how many hugs she'd gotten through the years none could ever match the ones he gave to her.
"Säg inte förlåt när det är jag som är orsaken till problemen. Snälla bara berätta för mig ärligt om du vill stanna, för om du inte vill det så kommer jag göra vad som helst för att ta dig här ifårn" (Don't apologize when I'm the cause of the problem. Please just tell me honestly if you want to stay, because if you don't want to then I will do whatever it takes to get you out of here) He took her face between his big hands and looked into her teary eyes.
"Jag vill stanna, förlåt" (I want to stay, I'm sorry) He let out a strained chuckle and kissed the top of her head
"Sa jag inte just åt dig att inte saga förlåt?" (Didn't I just tell you to not apologize?) Laughing she buried her head in his chest,
"That's one weird language…" someone muttered turning around she found Paul had joined the group as well as David and Marko.
"Sup' Sprinkles causing trouble as always ey?"
"Shut up Paul!" she mumbled trying not to smile at his comment.
"Yeh shut up Paul!" laughed Marko slapping the blond at the back of his head, just to in turn get slapped by a serious looking David.
"So you thought you could just come and pick her up like she was some sort of garden gnome?" Eddie wasn't prepared to hear so much anger in his voice.
"No I came here to save MY sister back, the one I hurt by taking here against her will!" the tension in the room was once again running high.
"Save? That implies that you think we hurt her" Marko piped up.
"Did you?" Alex asked sending them all dark looks.
"Why the fuck would we hurt our own sister?!" Paul's mood soured at the actuation.
"She's NOT your sister!"
"She is in fact mine, Paul's and Marko's sister. And you see that guy over there…" David pointed towards Dwayne "…that guy is her boyfriend, whom I also assume gave you those handprints around your neck." The look of horror in Alex eyes as he realized the relation between Eddie and Dwayne would have been funny was it not for the situation they were all in.
"Du har varit här I två månader och du knullar redan en av dem?!" (You've been here for two months and you're already fucking one of them?!) Alex hissed at her.
"Nej jag 'knullar inte en av dem'! det är komplicerat okey!" (No I'm not 'fucking one of them'! it's complicated!" anger boiled up inside of her at the tone he used, she pushed out of his embrace and stared at him.
"Hur jävla komplicerat kan det va? Antingen knullar ni eller inte!" (How fucking complicated can it be? You're either fucking or you're nor!)
"Det är komplicerat för att vi tydligen är själsfränder! Jag vet inte hur det funkar eller varför just honom men vi är ihop kopplade på något sätt." (It's complicated because we are soulmates! I don't know how it works or why it's him but we're connected in some way.)
"Detta är löjligt! Sluta!" (That's ridiculous! Stop it!")
"Tror du inte jag vet hur löjligt det låter?! Jag kan inte förklara det och jag förväntar mig inte att du ska förstå men nu är det så det är och jag kan inte göra något åt det!" (Don't you think I know it sounds ridiculous?! I can't explain it and I don't expect you to understand but that's the way it is and I can't do anything about it!)
"Det är för galet!" (It's too crazy!"
"Galnare än att jag är en vampyr? Galnare än att jag börjar brinna om jag nuddar solljuset? Galnare än att jag behöver MÖRDA folk för att dricka deras blod?! Är det verkligen så jävla konstigt Alex? Är det de?!" (Crazier than the fact that I'm a vampire? Crazier than me burning in the sunlight? Crazier than me having to MURDER people so I can drink their blood?! Is it really that fucking weird Alex? Is it?!)
The two of them had been screaming at one another, the magic of being reunited gone with a blink of an eye, but at the notice of Eddie having to kill to live Alex quieted down. The room was dead silent until the shuffle of small feet broke it. Laddie carefully made his way over to Eddie and protectively wrapped his arms around her waist.
"You're hurting her feelings, can't you see that? She said you were the nicest one but you're just mean…" sending Alex an accusing look the kid turned his head around, burrowing his face into Eddies stomach hiding his tear streaked face.
The shock on the older swede's face was obvious, his mouth opening and closing like a fish while he tried to figure out what to say.
"I-I'm sorry…" was all he managed to get out.
"I think it's time for you to leave" David declared form behind her back. Alex just nodded and walked past them out the door, it took a few seconds for Eddie to realize what was happening and gently eased Laddie's arms from her waist, kissing the top of his head affectingly and followed her brother outside.
"Alex vänta!" (Alex wait!") he stood next to the black van they had arrived in two months prior getting ready to leave. There was no way she could let him leave and having their last words to each other be that of rage. Running up to him she threw her arms around his neck and hoped that he would return her affection, he did. Wrapping his big arms around her middle he lifted her of the ground.
"Jag är så ledse Eddiem, jag menade inget illa jag ville bara hjälpa dig. Men det värkar som att du har tillräkligt med hjälp och kärlek här" (I'm so sorry Eddie, I didn't mean any harm, I just wanted to help you. But it appears you have enough help and love here as it is) he mumbled gently putting her back at her feet but not letting her go.
"Ingen kärlek kommer någonsin tävla med din eller vår familjs Alex… Älskar dig" (No love will ever compare to the one I have for you and our family Alex… Love you) she whispered back.
"Jag älskar dig mer…" (I love you more)
"Men jag älskar dig mest… det finns inget högre än mest så jag vinner och du förlorar" (But I love you most… there is nothing higher than most so I win and you lose) she could feel his chest vibrating as he chuckled at her.
"Du vinner alltid söstra mi" (You always win sister mine)
"Så du har äntligen fattat det? Efter 19 år?" (So you finally figured that out? after 19 years?)
"Ja jag har väl det, bättre sent än aldrig, hejdå Skorpan, vi ses i Nangijala" (Yeh I guess so, better late than never, goodbye biscuit, I'll see you in Nangijala) with one last squeeze he let her go and opened the door to the van.
"Väntar du på mig i körsbärsdalen?" (Will you wait for me In the Cherry-valley?) she asked.
"Ja, jag väntar i körsbärsdalen." (Yes, I'll wait in the Cherry-valley.) he confirmed and closed the door.
She just stood there on Max's driveway watching as the red lights of the van disappeared down the road. A set of arms snaked around her waist from behind and warmth spread through her body. She didn't say anything nor did he but that morning she willingly went back to the cave and slept in his arms.
….
Night came again and she woke like so many night before, encaged in Dwaynes embrace. This time, however, she didn't try to move but nuzzled herself closer to his smooth skin. With everything that had happened the night before she had come to realize that Max and the boys were the people she was going to spend the rest of her 'life' with and the man holding her was in fact the one and only man she would ever be able to truly love. There was no one else in the world who would live like she did, no one who would stand by her forever, no one who could love her the way he did. The moment she accepted that her insides erupted in sparks and warmth, it shocked her so badly she let out a small scream. Dwayne must have felt it too because his eyes snapped open
"What's going on?! are you okay?!" a mix of sleepiness and fear fogged his eyes as he looked her over, seemingly searching for injuries. Wherever his fingers went a trail of warmth followed and she couldn't help but laugh. Grabbing his face between her hands she pulled him down on top of herself and kissed him right on the mouth. At first he didn't do anything but soon enough he kissed her back, only breaking contact for a few seconds to ask
"What was that for? I'm confused"
"Less talking more kissing Mr." was all she said, savoring the vibrations from his chest as he let out a low growl and reattached his lips to hers. Nibbling gently at her bottom lip he begged her for further access, which she gladly granted.
(Warning for sexual contents I guess)
Eddie didn't even bother to fight for dominance as his tongue slid between her lips. She let her fingers get tangled in his hair as he started leaving open mouthed kisses down her jaw. His teeth tugging at her earlobe before he moved on down her neck to focus on and around the mark he once put there. Letting his hands roam freely over her skin he mapped out every spot that caused her to let out a breath or a moan to later come back and pay that area extra attention.
Eddie couldn't help but wrap her legs around him as he started to slowly grind against her. For every moan she let out he went a little faster, kissed a little harder and growled a little louder. The wetness between her legs became obvious not just to her as he kept on going and his own 'excitement' kept growing and growing until there was no more room for clothes between them.
Her t-shirt and panties were gone in a heartbeat, as were his boxer briefs, allowing them both access to whatever pieces of skin that had been hidden before. Memories of their last time together circled in Eddies mind as he positioned himself at her entrance and slowly started filling her up and pulling out. Soon his pace quickened and hardened as they moved in a synchronized rhythm.
Moaning her name like she did his they kept on going until they could feel the sun completely sinking into the ocean. He'd gotten her over the edge twice by then and as she squeezed around him a third time he finally let himself loose, his motions getting spasmodic and rough, kissing her harshly on the mouth, letting out one last growl before collapsing on top of her.
(I think you're safe now)
Lifting himself of off her Dwayne laid down on his back pulling one of her legs over his waist.
"I'm still confused…" he admitted making Eddie laugh hysterically. He quickly joined her and they spent the next hour and a half just lying there laughing and talking about anything and everything.
That is until there was the whining voice of Paul in both of their heads "David says I can't disturb you but I'm hungry so get your clothes on and let's go!" this only caused Eddie to fall into another fit of laughter, Dwayne merely smirking before answering "I've already eaten"
Another chapter done, I hope it was entertaining enough.
