Blaire was here. She was home after what seemed forever. She turned the light on in her bedroom and gasped to see her ten year old cousin, Summer resting in her bed. Panick set her mind. If Andrew was pissed, he would hurt Summer. She just could not allow that. She quietly ran over to one of her dressers and opened the drawer, looking through it, over and under the clothes until she found something shine ever so slightly.

Blaire's heart fastened as she saw it was a cell phone. To call Erik. A friend, and a vampire hunter. Everything in her screamed to call him. But her heart pleaded and cried for her not to. Stupidly, she was about to put the phone back in it's place when the floor creaked. Her whole body stiffened in fear. She turned around slowly, but saw nothing. 

Her gaze dropping lower. She saw her ten year old cousin standing there, rubbing her sleepy eyes with her right hand and holding her teddy bear in her other hand, up against her.

"Blairy?" Summer questioned in a sleepy tone. "What are you doing here?" Blaire put the phone in her pocket and bent down to her level, picking her up and standing straight with her on her hip. "I'm here to...Tell you a bed time story." She smiles nervously.

"My mama said you dissapeared. Where'd you go?" Summer questioned again as they walked to the bed and Blaire set her back on the bed, under the covers.

"On a trip." Blaire smiled at her cousin, laying with her under the covers and wrapping her arms around her. Summer took this embrace in, cuddling into her side. "Did you go anywhere fun?" She questions, her eyes closing.

"Uh..." Blaire bites her lip, thinking of Andrew's piercing blue eyes. "Yeah." She strokes her long blonde hair and looks down at her.

"Blaire," Summer mumbles.

"Yes?" Blaire questions.

"Tell me a bed time story." Summer whispered lowly.

Blaire sighs and rests her chin upon hers. "Once Upon A Time..."

Andrew finished his meal and walked back, but did not see his car, or Blaire anywhere. He scowls in anger. He told her directly not to go home, but of course she disobeys. He made his way towards her house, walking slowly. He wasn't sure what he was going to do to her. But his heart pleaded for it not to be bad.

He reached her house finally and heard her faint voice. Who was she talking to? He climbed up the tree, and onto the roof, towards her window. He peered in. Seeing her half asleep as she told a story to a little girl beside her. A smile forms on his lips without him knowing it. His heart decided to do nothing to her. 

~~~

Blaire ended the story in a hushed tone, her voice trailing off as her eyes grew heavy. They closed rather she wanted them to or not. She slipped into a slumber with that.

~~~

Slowly. Blaire woke up, feeling well rested. She yawns and opens her eyes. "Summer..." She looked at her side, not seeing Summer. She sat up and looked around, this was not her bedroom.

Andrew found her. She searched her neck, no bite marks. She felt no pain. She felt...Relaxed, actually. But panick set in. If he found her, what'd he do to Summer?

She throws the blankets that were on her, off. She quickly got off the bed and ran out of the room, darting downstairs and seeing Andrew in the kitchen, making..What smelled like to be tea.

Andrew turned around and flashed a smile at her. "Good morning."

Blaire backed away as he came closer. "What'd you do to her?" She hissed. Andrew frowns. "Who?" He questions in confusion.

"My cousin!" Blaire cried, her fists clenched at her sides.

Andrew twists his body, grabbing an apple from the basket. He throws it up in the air and catches it once it falls down into his palms. He smiles at her. "The pretty blonde? Nothing, don't worry."

Blaire felt like he was telling the truth. But her worries were still high. She follows him as he walks into the livingroom. "Nothing? You expect me to believe you did nothing?"

~~~

James waited, and waited, and waited for the couple to arrive, but they never did. He needed to understand why Blaire wouldn't leave with him that day. So he was about to leave when he heard Andrew come in. He ended up hiding in some room that was never used. 

He faintly heard Blaire's and Andrew's voices now. He listened as best as he could, without making a sound.
