Rachel woke slowly, unsure what had disturbed her. She lay still for several moments, her cheek resting on something cool and hard. Her eyes were closed. She felt incredibly weak—drained, really—and didn't understand why. The memories of what had occurred in the garden swept through her mind and she smiled where she lay. That smile was quickly followed by a frown. She shouldn't be so weak. She had taken some of Etienne's blood and should be stronger for it, not weak. Shouldn't she?

“Etienne?”

That far off shout roused her from her languid state, and Rachel opened her eyes to see the shapes and shadows of the garden. She was lying with her head resting on Etienne's chest amid the blooming night flowers. Moving slowly, she managed to raise herself enough to look over the plants that lined the path and glance toward the house. There was nothing to see; the house appeared as still and empty as it had when they'd first been locked out.

Sighing, Rachel allowed herself to drop back onto the cold ground again. She was both shocked and a bit frightened at the weakness she was suffering. With a turn of her head, she was able to peer at the pale outline of Etienne. He lay in the dewy grass beside her, his body gleaming in the moonlight. Rachel patted his chest weakly, but there was no response.

She felt concern claim her. “Etienne?” She nudged him with a little more force. “Etienne?”

“Etienne!” That male voice was an echo to her own. It sounded closer this time, but still muffled, as if heard through ear muffs or at a great distance. “Rachel? Dammit, you two—answer me! I can sense your presence, but it's too weak to follow.”

Despite that claim, the voice was drawing closer. Rachel barely had the chance to peer down at her clothes and make sure they were in order before she heard the back door of the house slam. Rachel forced herself to sit up again as Bastien strode into view.

“There you two are.” He hurried toward them. “I was worried sick when Tom said there was no answer and the door was locked. I rushed over with Etienne's extra keys and—What the hell happened to the two of you?” he asked with alarm as he got close enough to see Etienne prostrate beside her. Then his gaze found his brother's body and his eyebrows flew up. “Oh.”

Rachel glanced at Etienne, flushing when she noted that his pants were still undone, his flaccid penis hanging out bearing a pair of unmistakable teethmarks.

“Oh, dear. You bit him, huh?”

Humiliated, not to mention too weak to stay upright, Rachel dropped to the ground with a moan. She let her arm flop over her face.

“Thomas, bring the blood!”

Rachel let her arm drop back in alarm. It was bad enough that Bastien was a witness to this moment, but to have Thomas there, too… Her panic eased a bit when she noticed Bastien kneeling beside Etienne and straightening his clothes.

“How are you feeling? Pretty bad, huh?”

Rachel glanced at Bastien, surprised by his solicitous tone.
