Eddward picks up the little boy and sets him on the table "Daniel, darling, look at me for a moment before we begin" he instructs. As his eyes turn red, Daniel looks over and Eddward locks eyes with him, snapping his fingers Daniel went stiff as a board.

Victoria sucked air between her teeth and clenches her fists "What did you just do to him?!"

Eddward ignores her for a moment "Sleep, mon cher, and do not wake until tomorrow night" he says gently laying Daniel down as he falls asleep before addressing Victoria. "I put him in a trance, it's easier than using medication" he says simply.

"I hope that doesn't affect him negatively... Have you used it before? On anyone?" she glared at Eddward.

"I used it to set his leg and yes, I am two hundred and eighty six years old, of course I've used it before on countless people. It's never caused any negative reaction to date, madam" Eddward says trying not to get annoyed at her tone or attitude. Victoria stroked Danny's bangs, completely put off and unnerved by this trance like state. However, she did promise her husband that she would be helpful and heal everyone to best of her abilities.

Eddward cuts his bond with his lover and calms himself before turning on the machine that indicates where the tracker is. He locates it on the back of the boys neck "You are correct, it looks as though it is on the back of his neck, close to his spine" Eddward says picking him up and turning him over gently.

"You've got to make sure that you don't cut anything but the tracker. Chances are that bastard hooked it throughout his neck and it's connected in multiple places" she grabbed the device and scanned up Daniel's spine to the base of his skull. "See? It's connected all throughout here."

Eddward nods "My hands are steadier than that of the world's top surgeon, madam" he says slipping gloves and picking up a scalpel.

"And Alistar is craftier than the Devil himself... Just be careful" she warns before steadying her hands around Daniel's neck, a blue light emanating from them.

Eddward cuts into the small boy's neck and begins working. It is long and tedious but finally Eddward grabs the chip with some hemostats and sets it aside before he carefully begins taking the wires out of Daniel.

Victoria begins to completely heal the small areas that Eddward had cleared. She didn't like anything about this, not at all. "Are you almost done?"

"If my memory is correct, and it always is, yes so please calm yourself" Eddward snips, trying to concentrate on the task at hand.

"I hope this isn't the one time you are wrong... Everyone is wrong sometimes."

Eddward growls but stays his tongue, reminding himself that she is Kevin's mother. As she finishes Danny's healing, she prods Eddward some more "So how long did Kevin have to beg you to take his brother in too?"

Eddward growls as he removes another wire "He didn't even get a chance to ask before I scooped him up into my arms."

"A master surgeon and enough maternal instincts to not kill on sight... Very admirable of you" Victoria said, words filled with sarcasm.

Eddward growls again and removes the last wire before putting his things away. He waits for her to finish healing Daniel up before he levels a glare at her, "Now that we are not attending to your son, whom your attention should have been solely on instead of me, I have something to say to you" Eddward says calmly.

"Oh, this should be enlightening"

"I have been taking care of people vampire werewolf and human alike LONGER THAN YOU HAVE BEEN ALIVE CHILD!" he growls "I HAVE MORE MATERNAL INSTINCT AND MEDICAL PROWESS IN MY FUCKING PINKY THAN YOU EVER WILL IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE!"

Kevin rounds the corner to the kitchen to see his mate and mother locked in the battle of wills. Cocking an eyebrow, he leans against the wall to listen.

"SO THE NEXT TIME YOU FEEL THE NEED OR URGE TO CRITICIZE ME IN SOME WAY DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DONT!" Eddward roars before turning around to storm out and freezes when he sees Kevin "...I am not apologizing."

"Well god damn..." he looks to his mother "what did you say?!"

Lucas comes storming in, passing behind Kevin and Eddward, straight for his wife. "What did I tell you? Why can't you just let it go?"

"Because I can't!" and Victoria stormed off into the dark forest.
