1. Chapter 1 - Back Home

Oliver was woken by banging on the side door of the van. He jumped out of bed and opened it before it woke everyone. He knew Shadow slept late, and Alera was still tired. The excited vampire on the other side of the door had to be Shari. “Well, good evening.” He stepped outside and was immediately hugged by Shari`.

“Is Sire inside?” Shari asked.

“Both of them,” Oliver said as he hugged Shari. “Is Dr. Jones here?”

“He is,” Shari said.

“Did Lucia stay one night?”

“She did,” Shari said. “Then, she took us to work, and Dr. Jones brought us home.”

“Good,” Oliver said.

Oliver turned his head when he heard movement.

Marcus ushered the blooddolls off the van and stepped out. He’d rushed to put on a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt when he heard the banging. He was surprised Shadow only huffed at him once before curling up in all the blankets and pillows.

Marcus was not surprised that it was Shari who was banging on the door. “Evening, Shari.”

Shari ran over and hugged Marcus.

Marcus chuckled. He hugged her. “How’s my little vampire?”

“Good. What are those?” Shari asked.

“Food and servants,” Marcus said.

Dr. Jones stepped out of the cabin with Marc and walked over to Marcus, Shari and Oliver. “We were just finishing up the feedings.”

“How’s everyone?” Marcus asked.

“Good. Your next two oldest wake a little every night,” Dr. Jones said.

“They do that when they’re about ready,” Marcus said.

“I’d say they are very close,” Dr. Jones said. “Who are these four?”

“These are the food we found in the middle of the jungle,” Marcus said.

“It was a vampire habitat. The vampires were long gone, but we found the food,” Oliver said.

“I was hoping to integrate them into our supply,” Marcus said. “I need you to examine them and figure out their intricacies.”

“Are they different than what we’re doing?” Dr. Jones asked.

“Extremely. They are extra thick and have bite points that stop bleeding,” Marcus said.

“All right. I can take them with me and examine them,” Dr. Jones said. “I’ll bring them back when I bring the childer back.”

Marcus explained what was going on to the blooddolls in Latin.

“Okay,” the blooddoll said.

“You know what. I better go with them,” Oliver said.

“I’ll wake Shadow and Alera,” Marcus said.

“I think Alera just woke up,” Oliver said.

“I’m up,” Alera said from the doorway of the van. “Did you want me to get Shadow up?”

“I’ll get her up,” Marcus said.

“Did you want to come with me to town, Alera?” Oliver asked.

“Yeah,” Alera said. “I need to get some things.”

“I guess I’ll follow you,” Oliver said to Dr. Jones.

“All right. We need to get going,” Dr. Jones said.

“Tell Shadow we’ll play cards when we get back,” Alera said as she got into the car with Oliver.

“I will.” Marcus turned and stepped into the van.

He found Shadow buried under the blankets. Since Marcus hadn’t put his shoes on, he slid into the bed next to her and kissed the side of her face.

Shadow inhaled.

“How’s my sleepy Bonded?” Marcus asked.

Shadow rolled onto her back. “Did I sleep late?”

“You did,” Marcus said. “It’s after nine. Almost ten.”

“Crap. Are we home? Did the childer get to work?”

Marcus kissed her. “We are, and they did. Oliver and Alera went into town with the blooddolls. We need them examined in order to improve our own.”

“Oh.” Shadow stretched.

“How do you feel?” Marcus asked.

“Fine,” Shadow said. “Not bloated at all.”

Marcus drug his hand down her abdomen. “It’s in there, but it’s just one sac.”

“This won’t require as much attention, will it?” Shadow asked.

“No, it will not, but before you think I’m going to stick my mutto in you any less...” Marcus kissed her deeply.

“Is everyone gone for the night?” Shadow asked.

“They are,” Marcus said between kisses.

“Then, why are we still in the van?” Shadow asked.

“Because you looked comfortable, and I’m being lazy. Are you turning down van mutto?”

Shadow laughed. “I am.”

“We can do this somewhere else.” Marcus slid off the bed. He picked Shadow up, blankets and all, and carried her out of the van. “Treehouse or recreation room? We have the whole property to ourselves.”

“How about food and then the treehouse,” Shadow said.

“Let’s see if the childer left us any live food,” Marcus said as he walked around to the food habitat. “Are you wearing a shirt?”

“I don’t know. Did you undress me?” Shadow asked.

“I don’t think so.” Marcus set her on her feet and took the blankets. “You’re wearing a shirt.”

“Have you eaten?”

“No, so I’m hoping there’s two in there,” Marcus said. He opened the door and allowed Shadow inside first.

Shadow looked around. “Might be slim pickings.”

Marcus walked down the hallways. He found one in the back. “How many workers are here?”

“Should be four of us,” he said.

“Where are the other three?” Marcus asked.

“I’m not sure,” he said.

Marcus opened the back door and looked. They were playing cards. “Can I get two of you to come with me?”

“Yeah. Sure,” a woman said. “I’m losing anyway.”

Marcus waited for a man to stand then said, “We’ll be doing some work around the treehouse.”

Marcus led them through the habitat. He sent Shadow’s blankets to the laundry room as they walked.

Shadow hopped along beside Marcus.

[Which one of these do you want?] Marcus asked.

[The female,] Shadow said to Marcus.

[Do you want me to hold it for you, or do you want to get it?] Marcus asked.

[I’ll get it,] Shadow said.

[You don’t have to prove anything,] Marcus said. [Let me hold it for you. The childer aren’t here.]

Shadow looked at Marcus. [Okay.] She knew he was concerned about the sac, and the food was a fairly large female, easily twice Shadow’s size.

Marcus grabbed the two humans with tendrils. “Go ahead.”

Shadow walked over to the female and grabbed her hand. She frowned when the woman tried to jerk it away.

Marcus wrapped another tendril around the woman’s arm.

Shadow sank her fangs into the woman’s wrist and drank deeply.

Marcus walked over and drained his food. Then, he sent both bodies into the Umbra.

“She was stronger than I thought,” Shadow said.

“Stronger than I thought,” Marcus said. “But that’s okay. Are you full?”

“I’m full.”

Marcus walked with her up into the treehouse. He grabbed the remote and turned on the TV before making them a bottle of bloodwine with the replicator.
