The two made their way to the living room of the unfamiliar cabin to find Duncan stretched across the couch watching TV. "Bout time you guys woke up. You've been at it for hours." He complained in a mocking tone.
"It, it wasn't that long." Gwen said turning her head to hide her reddening checks.
"You guys came in around noon. I don't know how long you guys bull shited until I came in, but I did crash here around midnight and I could hear you two still at it. I went to sleep for three hours and when I woke up you two were STILL at it. Then it stopped, and three hours latter here you are. Even if you didn't start until I came in, that's still long as hell." He said sipping some substitute blood. Gwen quickly did the math in her head after checking the clock and realized she and Trent had been intimate for almost fourteen hours.
"Anyway Maria said she'd be here soon. We have to figure out what is going on exactly before we can do anything. The cabinets are also filled with sub blood so feel free to fill up." He said finishing off his bottle.
Gwen and Trent calmly made their way into the kitchen and reached for the bottled sub blood. Gwen had her back to Trent and was trying to clear her mind. She had a lot to think about and one of those things was the fact that Trent proposed to her and he would want answer.
"Gwen?" Trent asked as she unscrewed the cap to a bottle. Half of her wanted to ignore him, but she knew she couldn't do that. "Gwen, talk to me." He said right behind her.
"Yeah Trent." Gwen said turning around with a bright smile, trying to mask the conflict raging in her head.
"About what I said upstairs," He said rubbing the back of his neck nervously. "Just, forget it happened. Okay?" he said with a weak smile.
"What? No. Trent, please understand okay." Gwen said grabbing his arms trying to explain herself.
"I do understand. It's way too early for that. I'm sorry. Forget it happened." He said trying to get away from her grip but Gwen wouldn't let him go.
"NO! Trent, it's not that I don't want to marry you. I do. It's just…"
"You do?" he interrupted. Gwen's face fell to the floor as her cheeks burned red.
"Yes." She answered softly. "But..."
"But what?" he asked.
"It's not the right time. There's a lot going on. We should be wondering about what to do to see the next sunrise. Not what color should our table clothes should be? Know what I'm saying?" Gwen pleaded.
"Yeah I understand that. But what I don't understand is why you didn't say yes." He replied.
"I JUST explained that." Gwen said annoyed. "No. I didn't want to say yes, because. It would be the only thing on my mind. And there's more important things I need to worry about." She explained.
"More important? What's more important?" he asked.
"Okay, maybe our life. Before I decide if I want to stay with you forever, I need to think of a way to LIVE with you forever." She clarified. Trent stopped and thought for a while. The he locked eyes with Gwen and spoke.
"Okay, straight answer now. Do you want to marry me?" he asked wrapping his arms around Gwen's waist.
"Yes. Just, not now. It's too…" Gwen answered but was cut off by Trent's lips on hers.
"That's all I needed." He smiled to her. Gwen smiled back and wrapped her arms around his neck. She nuzzled her nose against his and he chuckled at her. He started to move closer to kiss her when Duncan walked in and interrupted them.
"Hey love birds; we have to meet Maria soon." He said. Trent sighed and moved away from Gwen but still had his arm around her waist. "They will be here soon; she said they have something important to say. But I have no idea what." He finished lying on the couch.
"What do you mean? They want me dead." Trent said angry at the punk on his couch.
"They wanted you dead. You didn't kill as many people as you had planned. There might be a punishment, but it can't be too harsh." He said.
"They still want us. For what ever reason. If they didn't they would not have turned you and me then left us to fend for ourselves." Gwen said. Trent wrapped his arm around his fiancé's shoulders and pushed her closer to him.
"Yeah good point. Guess we just have to sit and wait." The punk said not caring in the least. "So when's the wedding?" he said with a raised eye brow.
"You should not be allowed to read minds." Gwen said blushing bright red and turning away from his glare.
"Why exactly don't you want to get married Gwen? You love him enough." He said. Gwen froze at the comment and felt Trent's glance move to her. "It's not my place, but she really doesn't want to marry you dude." He finished.
"SHUT UP!" Gwen shouted at him. But before the argument could even start Maria and the gang were at the front door ringing the bell.

"So what do they even want with us?" Gwen said. Maria, Chuck, Liddy, Violet and the werewolf pack say comfortably in the living area all trying to find a solution to what might be a huge problem.
"I don't know." Maria said feeling defeated.
"They want to use you." Violet spoke up. "They know that the chosen children where always meant to rule, and bring either peace or war to vampires. Balance or dominance in the vampire, human relationship. Every covent is like a political party; they see and do things differently. That's why we need the chosens. But the chosens can easily be persuaded into thinking differently. The covents think that if they collect all the chosens, then their ways of life will be the only way." She explained.
"You seem to know a lot." Chuck said inspecting the small girl.
"My covent already has one. And created the other 2, maybe 3." Maria said. Everyone was still uncertain is Trent is or is not a chosen, but the caches of him being one where high.
"But is your covent the right choice? Do you realize your covent is the only one with vampires' that go insane? No other covent deals with that." Violet snapped.
"And yours is perfect? They turned two young girls and dropped them off in the forest." Duncan shot back.
"No mine is not the best, none are. There are positives and negatives to all of them. You guys need to choose though. But we need to find a way to spread the word if you guys wanting to chose out there safely so we don't get swindled." Violet said.
"Good idea, how do we do that?" Maria said.
"I am not sure. Covents usually don't convers with each others." Violet finished.
"Okay new mission. Find a way to spread our plan to all covents safely." Gwen said clapping her hands together.
"How do we do that? They wont come if they know the others will be there." Liddy said.
"But they will if they know just the chosen ones will." Chuck said
"We don't have a connection to ever covent" Trent said
"We do to at least 3. That's good enough." Maria said. She picked up her cell phone and began dialing numbers.
AN: I know you are tired of hearing how sorry I am but I have a reason why this took so long. My charger broke and I couldn't use my laptop. Then when it got fixed what do you know I lost the file. *head explodes* I gave up and started AGAIN when my mom found it on my external hard drive. So here you go. Sorry it took so long. Oh one more thing. Someone reviewed and caught a few mistakes I made with the plot and character names. Well here's the thing. I'm human and forgetful. I make mistakes. I'm sorry if it confuses you. If you are reading this PM please because I did have a reward for anyone who caught those kind if mistakes.
