Aiden Savage turned around to see a very stern vampiress walking towards him and the aura about her was one of suppressed rage.

"Salina, to what do I owe ...." he never got to finish his sentence.

"Save it Aiden. No more. Do you hear me?! No more!" Salian practically yelled at him.

"No more what?" Aiden said in as clam a voice as he could. "You know, you should return to your clan they are very much ...." Aiden was once again interrupted.

"In Voldamorts pocket and I cannot believe you are helping him get my daughter" Salina growled. "But your plan will never work. I renounce my clan and any ties I have to it. I have stated this to a council member and you cannot deny it and I also decline your offer of marrying my child off to a deceased prince. Now leave me and my family alone" Salina stated and turned her back on him.

Aiden was surprised and angry at this point but before he could react Salina was already back to her table talking to the wolf, her daughter and the young beauty next to her. 'Just what is going on?' Aiden thought to himself as he watched the group order food and start to joke about.

Hermione and Chrimson had decided that after all the excitement they had witnessed that night they would forego dancing. They were talking quietly together when Hermione had to use the bathroom. She excused herself from the table and headed off in the direction of the ladies.

Aiden saw this and stealthily followed her.

As she got nearer to her destination she felt the presence of someone behind her.

"Is there any reason you are following me?" she said to the figure behind her.

"To find out who you are" was the reply she got.

To say she was not impressed would have been a lie. Hermione already knew who was behind her and was impressed at his persistence to find out who she was, but she would not humour him. She stopped suddenly and spun around too quick for him to follow.

'How the hell did she move so fast?' he thought to himself. He then felt something poking him in his back and herd a cold voice say, "Leave me alone!"

Hermione was sick and tired of everyone wanting to know her and what she was doing and who she was friends with. She just wanted to help kill Voldamort and then live her life, was that too much to ask?

"I meant no disrespect, it is just that I have never seen you before and I know of all the clans in England" was all Aiden could say. He was in shock that a fellow vampire would do something so forbidden as threatening those of higher rank.

"Who I am is none of your concern" was Hermiones answer and with that she turned away and walked back to her seat.

"You alright Mi?" Remus asked when she had sat back down, as Hermione looked very annoyed at the moment.

"Yeah I'm fine, just a bit tired" Hermione said.

"Ok then girls, how about we go home?" Salina said to which she received a chorus of 'yes mum' from her daughters.

None of them noticed, however, that Aiden Savage had heard this. 'How is this possible?' he thought as he watched them leave the restaurant and quickly followed them out. By the time he got outside the group had gone.

Back at the clan ...

"Sir they were spotted in Blood moon. Aiden Savage was there but he allowed them to get away."

"What do you mean he allowed them to get away?"

"He got in to a confrontation with Salina but did not enforce his right to make them return."

"Savage has just made his biggest mistake. I will inform the Dark Lord of his deceit."
