Eddward tosses Nazz the pills "One every four to six hours depending on your pain level" he says as they land next her.
"Edd, c'mon… Be nice." Marie says opening the bottle and handing Nazz one "Ya got somethin' to drink Blondie?" she asks.
"No..." Nazz muttered. She was just going to deal with taking the pills dry but it appears she has another person working on her side, even just a little bit.
"Whatever… she needs meat and water" Eddward says running off to find a quick meal in the woods Marie sighs. "I'll be right back" she says getting up she grabs some doe and water then returns "Here..."
"Thank you... Marie, right?" Nazz took the pills and water.
Marie nods "Yea, that's my name."
"Well, thanks for the water and food. Did you help Danny bring me back?"
"Yea, uh, I actually carried you..." Marie says awkwardly.
"Well, thank you very much. I would have died if it wasn't for you and Danny. You are close to Eddward?"
"I'm pretty much his only friend though he is pissed off at me right now" Marie chuckles.
"Because of me, I'm assuming..." Nazz sighs.
"Yea but, hey, don't worry about it" Marie says dismissively.
"He hates me, doesn't he? I guess I can't blame him. I did try to kill him twice..." Nazz asked sadly.
"Twice?! Whoa, I didn't know about that!" Marie says awkwardly "Yea, that would definitely explain why he is acting that way, but don't worry about it. Give him time, he may be a cantankerous old man and stuck in his ways and his bedside manner could use some work… Where was I going with this?... Oh right... He'll come around if you earn his trust" she finishes confidently.
"I don't know how I earn his trust. I honestly don't know how long I will be around here anyway. I don't want to stress anyone out and I don't think that Eddward will calm down until I am gone. If Eddward is pissed or stressed, Kevin will follow and then Danny..."
Marie sighs "Just keep doing what you're doing and eventually he will calm down. Trust me, I've known him for over a hundred years, I know how he gets" she says soothingly.
"So him and Kevin are mated, Danny of course would go with Kevin, where do you come in? You live here with them?"
"Me? Well I go where Edd goes he is like a brother to me" Marie says telling a half truth. "But I know he is acting ridiculous right now."
"I don't blame him. The first time I really thought he was attacking Kevin because I didn't know they were together. The second time was all me and my stupid self. Believing that sham of a doctor."
"Hey... We all make mistakes but you do realize that if Eddward dies, Kevin dies, and Danny would be alone right?" Marie asks.
"That's what they were talking about? How does that work?"
"It's a very old ritual that bonds soul mates. If not for vampires as old as Eddward and I, it would not be known. The ritual bonds them mentally and physically and the only thing is, you should never lose your soul mate so if one dies the other follows" Marie explains.
"So, if by some miraculous feat I did manage to kill him, Kevin would have died and Danny would have been left with you?"
"Well yea the thing is, they told me I died but I don't remember it. All I remember is a burning house and then I was walking in the woods and I guess I showed up for the second attack so if you had succeeded the first time he would have been alone" Marie says thoughtfully.
"I feel so bad about that. I care about Danny and Kevin even though I can never get with him. I'm not normally like that, I don't break up happy homes."
Marie quirks a brow "Hey, don't worry about it. I mean look at what I did, I sat there and told both of them point blank they didn't belong together and did everything in my power besides trying to kill Kevin to tear them apart and look at where I am now."
"I hope you're right..." Nazz looked down trodden. She wanted to stay and be a part of a pack again. You get lonely after a while... She wanted interaction again. That's probably why she clung desperately to Alistair and his cronies. Before she could question Marie farther, a small little redhead came running in and stopped in front of the couch. "Hi Nazz! Are you feeling better?"
"Yes, I am. Thank you for looking out for me" she smiled.
"I hope you've chilled out and not gonna try to kill my mate anymore." Kevin quipped. Nazz looked into Kevin's eyes
"No, I'm not gonna try to kill him anymore. Im sorry..."
Marie chuckled "Well now, don't I feel out of place? I'll just be going out hunting now" Marie says standing up and stretching. "And Blondie? I am very rarely wrong" she says with a wink as she heads towards the door.
Daniel looks to Kevin once Marie left. "Where did Eddward go?"
"Probably to eat, prime hunting time for him. Why don't you go watch for him out the front?" Kevin offered.
"Can I practice tracking?"
"You may but you can NOT leave the front of the house, ya hear me? If I have to come look for you I am not gonna be a happy camper. Come back in if you see anyone other than Marie or Eddward."
" 'Kay!" Daniel transformed and took off into the front bushes, sniffing around and tracking some smaller creatures.
Kevin watches from the front window. "I'm really sorry, Kevin."
"I've already forgiven you. It's my prickly mate that you gotta try to persuade."
Eddward notices the little wolf before the little wolf noticed him. He smiles and pounces on the little one, tickling him not knowing he was being watched.
Daniel squeals and moves to get away. He knew this had to be Eddward or Marie. Soon Daniel was lifted and he figured it was Eddward... Marie wasn't this tall. He flipped around to look at his face. "Hi Eddward!"
"Mon petit! Hello!" Eddward says chuckling fondly as he holds the young wolf and nuzzles into his soft fur for a few moments before pulling back with a horrified look to his face. "What have you been rolling in?! When was the last time you had a bath?!"
"I chased a squirrel under the house and got all itchy so I had to roll in the dirt" Daniel smiled, very proud of himself. "I caught the squirrel though!"
Eddward sighs "Come you, it is bath time" he says sternly walking into the house.
Kevin hears the door open but had sensed Eddward approaching before he attacked Daniel. "Hey babe... You find Daniel?" He looked to Eddward and laughed. Daniel had managed to swipe a muddy smear over Eddward's cheek.
Eddward sighs "Yes, I found him and he found the crawl space" he says looking at the small pup. "Bath, now" he says walking towards the bathroom.
"He is really good with him" Nazz says quietly having watched the exchange outside from her perch on the couch.
"He is... When I found Danny, I was concerned that he wouldn't accept him but he immediately picked him up, carried him home, and gave him a bath. Danny really loves him" Kevin looks back to her. "Just keep trying, he'll come around eventually"
"You... You think?" Nazz asks hopefully, knowing that if Kevin said it about his mate it would be true, not that she didn't trust Marie.
"Yeah. He can be an asshole but he is fiercely loyal and loves hard. Once you're on his good side, you're there for good."
Nazz nods smiling widely before a squeaky clean ball of fluff bounds into the room tackling Kevin onto the floor.
"Hi!"
"You're so fluffy! I love it!" Kevin nuzzled into Daniel's fur, while Daniel giggled. "Now I'm tired."
Marie walks in a second later and Daniel walks over to her abandoning his brother. "MarMar, I'm tired" he says looking up at her.
"Oooohhhh poor baby... C'mon, we'll go to sleep" she says picking him up.
"Well, I see where I stand in this relationship"
"Awe Big Red, don't be so glum" Marie snickers. "I'm sorry, Big Brother. I'm just so sleepy and MarMar smells nice" he says nuzzling into her.
"Going to sleep sounds like a great idea, Danny" Nazz smiles before laying slowly down. "Everyone should go to sleep... That sounds like a great idea" Kevin mused
Marie chuckles and lays on the love seat with Danny on top of her, already asleep. "Yea yea later Red" she says yawning.
Kevin figured he had better find his mate... Retribution was to be had and all. He turned to find Eddward right behind him, shirtless. "Do you have to be so creepy?"
Eddward quirks an eyebrow "I was not trying to be my apologies" he says turning and walking away towards the bedroom.
"Where are you going?" Kevin whispered in his ear, his hands running along Eddward's sides and stomach.
Eddward suppresses a groan "To the bedroom, Mon Amour" he says leaning back into him and his hands.
"Hope you weren't planning on sleeping..." Kevin smirked and he started to push and walk with Eddward to their bedroom.
Eddward smirks "Oh? What pray tell did you have in mind?"
"A little payback and a little lovin'."
"Pay back for what?" Eddward says as he is pushed into the room.
"Making me beg for you... Tonight, you're gonna be begging for me."
Eddward chuckles "It has been a few decades since I have begged. I look forward to your attempt."
"Never disappointed before, don't aim to start now" Kevin kicked the bedroom door shut and bit down on Eddward's neck, drinking in the thick, red blood the flowed in. Eddward moans, clutching the wolf's shoulders tightly, he fucking loved it when the wolf did this.
Kevin detached himself and grabbed his pack, hitting Eddward in the chest lightly with it. "You better be in this when I get back from my shower" and he turned and left with a smirk.
Eddward looks in the pack and goes bright read "What the absolute fuck!?"
