Marguerite folded the two dresses that Bliss hadn’t bought into tissue paper and put them in one of her bright pink carrier bags. She knew Devon would want Bliss to have them and she had decided that the best way to look after Devon was to make friends with Bliss. She would check out her intentions, and watch how Devon was with Bliss for any signs at all that he was slipping backwards.

Saffron told her there was no danger of Devon slipping backwards as long as he was on his medication. The whole idea was in his mind, that he hadn’t understood what would really happen to both himself and Marguerite if they stopped using the food, and medications that the Elders provided.

Marguerite knew the consequences. It wasn’t something she’d clarified with Devon though. She wanted him to make certain he no longer wanted the life that they’d left behind twenty years ago. They both had special abilities. They both had a great life now. They would only age as fast as the beings, but if they stopped using the food and medication they would die, not revert. Unless, and this was her big worry, another vampire bit them. Unless they then drank human blood. Devon was better off not knowing this stuff. Let him live in peace she thought.

Saffron had spelled it out for Marguerite because she asked so many questions, and that was because she never wanted to go back to being a vampire. She would die first, and she thought if Devon made assumptions that were good for him then that was fine. The ‘what if’ scenes she conjured up in her mind were vivid. What if Drew was still out there? What if Devon grew tired of hanging out with the beings? It could feel restrictive, even she sometimes felt it would be nice to travel more, but the beings had their own reasons for isolation and seclusion, and she respected them.

Marguerite was going to pop around to Devon’s place later, but right then she wanted to sort out the T-shirts, and silk scarves she was going to put on her stall at the town fete the next day. She and Ffion one of the beings had become good friends. Ffion was very creative and they both got together to produce lovely tie-dyed silk scarves and T-shirts. Ffion was right at that moment, coming through the shop door, and Marguerite looked up from the box she was unpacking and smiled.

They had only been working for ten minutes putting little labels on the items that were for sale, and talking about what time to meet at the big playing fields designated for the fete, when Saffron arrived.

Saffron was one of the Elders, Ffion wasn’t, but there were no secrets between the beings. They were only a tiny community in their eyes and committed to each other’s safety. Saffron was smiling, but her message was serious.

“The Elders are meeting tonight Marguerite, and they’ve asked if you’ll join them.
