Nothing is mine! Oh, and I must warn you peoples. A bit of Gimli smoochin' in this chapter.

Aragorn came back from the kitchen into the living room. He'd just finished his discussion with Carlisle and was interested in how the rest of them were faring. He stopped beside Snape who was watching the scene in the living room with a frown. "Is she still..?" He pointed at Marie, who was surrounded by the family of vampires. Apparently, she'd been scared of them her whole life and, when confronted with her fear, she was nearly hysterical.
Her eyes were wide with fear."I don't believe this." She backed away slowly. She glared at Austin. "This is all the fault of your pink carpet! I should have known that the bad luck would last!" She said, almost ready to burst out into tears.
Edward pursed his lips. "We don't drink human blood." He informed her gently. "We're vegetarians...sort of." Snape snorted in the background.
Marie trembled. "That's not the point! It doesn't matter if you drink human blood or not! You're all still vampires!" She didn't notice that she was backing up into a one of them. She gasped, terror in her green eyes, then struggled to breathe, and to everyone else's horror and surprise, dropped to the floor in a dead faint.
Gimli and the rest of the Fellowship ran forward. "Please, let me handle this." Carlisle commanded calmly. "I'm a doctor."
Snape was shocked, but kept his mask of indifference in place. "A vampire doctor..what will be next?" He muttered.
"I heard that." Carlisle said, chuckling as he pressed an ice-cold hand to Marie's forehead. "I can hear that her pulse is still slightly elevated, but she should be waking up in just a few seconds." He waved Edward over. "Tell me when she is about to return to conciousness."
Willy cleared his throat. "Are you sure that seeing him or yourself is the best idea, after all, you guys are the reason she's unconcious now." He pointed out in a slightly annoyed tone.
"Perhaps it is best to let her wake up in her paramour's arms?" Suggested Snape. He jerked his head at Gimli. "Get over there, Prince Charming, and kiss the girl awake so that we can get on to the next Canon!"
Gimli's eyebrows raised. "Prince Charming? Hardly, I'm a Dwarf Lord." He growled grouchily. "Get it right, you grumpy, stick-wielding maniac."
Snape rolled his eyes. "Details,details..do you want to kiss her or not?" He smirked. "Because I would be more than happy to oblige-"
Gimli was over at Marie's side in a flash. "Oh no, you don't." He said possessively. "MINE!" He bent down and kissed her soundly.
Snape snickered behind his hand. Aragorn leaned over. "You weren't really planning on kissing her, were you?"
"Of course not. He simply needed some encouragement and I gave it."
"Ah."
Marie woke to the pleasent sensation of warm lips pressed softly against her own. She knew instantly who it was and returned the kiss with enthusiasm. She broke the kiss when she heard a distinctive 'Awwwwww', coming from the others in the room. "Umm." She said, giggling. "I guess we have a bit of an audience."
"*Like I care*."Rumbled Gimli as he bent back down to capture her lips again.
