After finishing diner, chilli kindly made by Shane, they made their way to the sofa to watch some terrible reality show, which is usually on late at night.
'Where's Michael?' Eve questioned worryingly, 'I thought he'd be back by now?'. 'Well it's the founder,' Shane said, 'she'll take as long as she likes'.
I too was getting worried; even Amelie doesn't take this long, even with important matters. I could see the worry in Eve's eyes; see her blinking away tears, which wasn't unusual. Just at that second, there was a pound at the door. Shane leapt up from the sofa, grabbing the black bag of our vampire toys. Stakes, silver nitrate grenades, the lot! Taking the silver coated knife, he tossed the bag to me and Eve as we armed ourselves for what might be behind our door. There was a loud crash, as the wooden door cracked and splintered, and Michael came rolling through the doorway. Eve, stunned, she dropped her stake and grabbed him into an enormous hug.
'Where the hell were you?!' she screamed through tears.
At first I wondered why she was crying so much but then I saw it. The thick dark liquid stained on his t-shirt, jeans and oozing from his head. Vampire blood. Michael looked really bad, but we all knew he'd heal soon.
'Dude, Explain. Now!' Shane said while packing the weapons back into the emergency bag.
'Lemme just heal first, then I'll tell you everything'.
Eve helped him upstairs to rest and to change his clothes. He was limping quite badly too. He must have gotten into some sort of trouble with the founder. Although, Amelie is found of warnings, and he mustn't have done something that bad, especially since we haven't heard about it. Some vamps could have attacked him in the street, I know they aren't particularly found of his and Eve's marriage but that was 2-3 years ago now. I would have thought they'd have calmed down about it. Well they are vamps, they are unpredictable!
About 20 minutes later, Michael came down the stairs, still pulling on a t-shirt, and Eve was following.
'You guys took your time' Shane winked.
'Shut up' Michael threw a cushion at him with vamp force but missed, 'if you don't mind, I'll tell you about when I got attacked not 2 hours ago shall I?'.
