“Hmm? Oh… I’m sorry. I guess I was talking to myself. I apologize. Long day…. rough day.” She said with a shrug, hoping to not seem like a crazy person. “Gotta learn to leave work at work, right?”

“I think it may depend on the work, yeh? Sometimes we’ve got no choice and work is life. Not that I’m speaking from personal experience or anything.” Ty laughed. “I’m Tyson, nice to meet you.”

“Elizabeta... erm... Eliza. Pleasure to meet you, Tyson.” She smiled, extending her hand. “I’m not a crazy person, Promise.”

This day…..

Ty heard the woman say something. They were in line at the bakery where Ty was waiting for his breakfast. She may have been talking to herself, but he wasn’t sure. He turned to her.

“Hi, sorry…did you say something?”

Eliza grinned and followed the other woman closely.

“Where were you?”

Looking down at her hand Tove smiled. “It’s always an option”

elisabetaholmes

“Okay. Good to know.” Eliza smiled at their hands as well.

Tove smiled. “ so how was your trip.”

elisabetaholmes

“It was nice. Quiet, and much needed. I did miss you though.” She leaned her head on Tove’s shoulder.

Tove smiled softly. “Really? You missed me?” She asked. “I don’t think anyone but my sister has ever missed me before.”

elisabetaholmes

“Yes. I missed you. Of course I missed you.” Eliza smiled.

Eliza nodded and scooped the girl into her arms, holding her close to her body. “I will. Will you be okay?” She asked the other woman.

“Yes, I’ll be fine,” Jade replied, nodding to Eliza. “I’m going to look around here for more evidence while I wait for my energy to come back and see if there could be more survivors anywhere. You go on ahead.”

elisabetaholmes

“I’ll see you soon. Be safe.” Eliza nodded before taking off quickly with the girl.

“It was nice. Quiet, and much needed. I did miss you though.” She leaned her head on Tove’s shoulder.

“Hunter. He… he shot my family.” The little girl whimpered.

“A hunter?” Eliza looked back at Jade. “I thought the wards….” she trailed off and sighed turning her attention back to the child. “I’m going to take you back into town. And we’re going to get you taken care of.”

“Is he coming back? I.. I don’t wanna die!” The little girl exclaimed.

“I can wait a bit longer, but she’s losing blood.” Eliza shook her head.

Jade’s eyes widened as she listened to the little girl struggle to speak. The implications of what she said were enormous, There hadn’t been in infiltration in decades.

Jade shook her head. “Go. Take her to Dr. Childs; he’s a pediatric doctor, and do what you can for her on the trip; it’s around 30 miles to the city. Please keep her alive.”

“Okay. Good to know.” Eliza smiled at their hands as well.

“I can run. I can run her back. You forget. I move quickly.” Eliza nodded, “if you can’t…” She motioned. Eliza turned her attention back to the little girl. “I’ve got you, Okay? I’m going to take care of you. We both are.” The little one looked up at Eliza scared, and nodded. “Can you tell me what happened to you? Who… who did this?”

Jade tried again, but the little ball of energy just fizzled out, and she stopped, panting. “I think I need to just give it ten minutes or so,” she said breathlessly. “If you think you can get there faster, then go.” The little girl was staring wide-eyed at Eliza.

“Hunter. He... he shot my family.” The little girl whimpered.

“A hunter?” Eliza looked back at Jade. “I thought the wards....” she trailed off and sighed turning her attention back to the child. “I’m going to take you back into town. And we’re going to get you taken care of.”

“Is he coming back? I.. I don’t wanna die!” The little girl exclaimed.

“I can wait a bit longer, but she’s losing blood.” Eliza shook her head.

“I do kind of have a history of doing that, don’t I?” Eliza smiled sheepishly. “I didn’t mean to just disappear. I just felt myself slowly going into what I used to be. I needed to fix it before it became a problem.” She took another long sip of her tea. “Her name is Tove. And she’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Or been with.”

“Thinking of really giving this one a go, eh?” Henry said, and sat back, thinking. “I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that if you really want to be with this girl, you can’t sabotage it?” He smiled. “But that’s enough lecturing from me.” He sat forward again with his elbows on the table and his chin in his palms in a mock-schoolboy pose. “Tell me everything about this person. Is she a vampire?”

elisabetaholmes

“Yeah. I know. I know I can’t. I’ve done that with everything and everyone before. You included.” Eliza’s smile straightened. “You can lecture me as much as you want. I deserve it.”

She grinned when he leaned forward and asked about Tove. “She’s not a vampire. Human actually. She’s incredibly bold and confident.”

Eliza moved quickly and knelt beside of Jade. She looked over the child, and opened her medical bag. “Can you speak?” She asked the child, assessing her injuries.

“Eliza,” Jade said. “I’m going to call ahead to the hospital and get a portal ready to take us right there,” she said while puling out her phone. She had no bars and she signed in frustration. “Damn, I don’t have a signal around here. We’re just going to have to surprise them.” She started working on the portal, but she had just done one, so her energy was a little depleted and it was harder to get going.

“I can run. I can run her back. You forget. I move quickly.” Eliza nodded, “if you can’t...” She motioned. Eliza turned her attention back to the little girl. “I’ve got you, Okay? I’m going to take care of you. We both are.” The little one looked up at Eliza scared, and nodded. “Can you tell me what happened to you? Who... who did this?”

Eliza thought for a moment and grinned. “Not much love…. yet. Mostly sex.” She chuckled heartily. “She doesn’t settle down, and gives off this act of not believing in love. But she wanted to know where I disappeared to.”

Henry nearly choked on his coffee. “You’ve started seeing someone, and then just took off on holiday without telling anyone?” He started laughing. “You really have to stop running off on the people you shag,” he finished with an ironic wink.

“I do kind of have a history of doing that, don’t I?” Eliza smiled sheepishly. “I didn’t mean to just disappear. I just felt myself slowly going into what I used to be. I needed to fix it before it became a problem.” She took another long sip of her tea. “Her name is Tove. And she’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Or been with.”

Eliza closed her eyes and tried to listen closely. She concentrated hard and held up her hands. “Jade…” She whispered. “That way… I hear whimpering.” She pointed west.

Jade gasped and trotted in the direction Eliza pointed, listening intently. Before too long, she heard it too; a tiny whimpering sound. It was coming in the direction of a small cluster of bushes a few dozen yards away from the carnage. Jade rushed over and started ripping twigs and branches out of the way, searching. When she moved a branch and a child’s eyes appeared, wide with shock, Jade actually recoiled in surprise. “Eliza!” she called. “We’ve got a live one!”

Eliza moved quickly and knelt beside of Jade. She looked over the child, and opened her medical bag. “Can you speak?” She asked the child, assessing her injuries.

“Of course. Order whatever you’d like.” She motioned to the barista.

Eliza grinned and nodded as they sit, sipping her tea. “As a matter of fact I am. What about you? Anyone special for you?”

“Double espresso with a shot of O neg,” he said to the barista. “Thanks Eliza, that’s nice of you.”

He snorted when she asked about his love life. “No way; I’ve forgotten what sex feels like. I’ve been all work and no play these days, so tell me everything about your love life so I can live vicariously through you.”

elisabetaholmes

Eliza thought for a moment and grinned. “Not much love.... yet. Mostly sex.” She chuckled heartily. “She doesn’t settle down, and gives off this act of not believing in love. But she wanted to know where I disappeared to.”

Eliza covered her mouth with her hand, as she looked around. Her emotions getting the best of her. Every single body she got close too was no longer alive. “Who would do…?” She trailed off.

“I’m not sure,” Jade said as she went from one corpse to the next. “The wounds don’t look like they were inflicted by an animal or supernatural, unless the supernatural was shooting and stabbing people instead of using their abilities. Looks like hunters, but we should go get help, get a second opinion.” She straightened up and called into the bushes. “Is anyone injured? Call out if you need help! We won’t hurt you!”

Eliza closed her eyes and tried to listen closely. She concentrated hard and held up her hands. “Jade...” She whispered. “That way... I hear whimpering.” She pointed west.

“Oh you don’t have to do that, I can get our tea and coffee. Or whatever you’d like.” Eliza smiled. “You should plan a little vacation. Taking time for you is something we all need at some point. Before things get to be too much.”

“Thanks Eliza,” Henry said gratefully, smiling warmly at his sire. “But I wonder if it’s already gotten to be too much.” He sighed. “Don’t worry, I’ll try a vacation before I throw in the towel.” he chuckled.

Henry took a seat near a window and gave Eliza a smirk. “So. Seeing anyone these days?”

elisabetaholmes

“Of course. Order whatever you’d like.” She motioned to the barista.

Eliza grinned and nodded as they sit, sipping her tea. “As a matter of fact I am. What about you? Anyone special for you?”

elisabetaholmes

Eliza turned her attention to where Jade was. “Oh my god…” she said softly, her hand on her chest. “W-what happened??”

“I don’t know,” Jade replied as she looked around. “She walked toward the nearest body and bent down for a closer look. “We may not need you after all,” she said quietly. “These people are all dead, and have been so for at least a day. From the looks of the wounds on this person, they were pretty violently killed. We should look around, try to find out more.”

elisabetaholmes

Eliza covered her mouth with her hand, as she looked around. Her emotions getting the best of her. Every single body she got close too was no longer alive. “Who would do...?” She trailed off.
