Serotonin Levels
                “Of course she’s depressed. The things she’s been put through. I’m amazed she isn’t completely psychotic at this point.” Hammon sitting in a room with three of the directors in charge of Dani’s care and the ‘vampire department’.”
                “Although her health and mood have improved since you’ve started to stay with her other tests, the relevant tests, continue to return negative.” One said.
                “Cross species genetics.” Sean said, “I’m human, she isn’t. The only one who is proved to be compatible is Adam. And I find it highly unlikely you’ll ever get your hands on him again.”
                The three looked at each other, “We think it’s time to try some other options.”
                Sean furrowed his brow, “What other options?”
                “Fertility drugs worked wonders on her biology before. They made her body incredibly fertile and receptive. It took almost no time at all for her to get pregnant. We can begin the same treatment now but if that fails to work then there are other options that have been discussed such as A.I.”
                “Artificial insemination?” Sean said in astonishment, “You can’t be serious. Inseminate her with what? If I’m not compatible with her, what makes you think any other man is going to be?”
                “Well you said it yourself. Adam has been the only one proved to be compatible with her so far. You haven’t shown to be yourself and if fertility treatments don’t work giving us the desired result then it will be time to expand our resources. See if someone or something else is compatible.” They answered.
                “Something? What the hell does that mean?” Sean demanded.
                There was a long moment of uneasy silence. “Dr. Hammon. We aren’t unaware of your attachment to the vampire. If you really are concerned then I suggest you make a serious attempt to step up your efforts. We’ll begin injections immediately. It shouldn’t take long for them to reach effectiveness. I feel it’s necessary to remind you Doctor she is not your girlfriend nor is she your roommate. She is a patient and a test subject. You would do well to remember that. She is not what she seems. What you imagine.”
                “She isn’t human anymore but she’s still intelligent and self aware. Not only does she have emotions but her feelings are more acute and sensitive than ours could ever hope to be.” Sean stated feeling they should already know this by now after all this time and everything they’d done to her. “This cruelty is not only unwarranted but unnecessary.”
                “Do what you are being paid to do Doctor. Leave the rest of her care and well being to us.” With that the meeting was over and he was dismissed. Sean sighed in frustration seeing they were getting more and more careless with Dani. Things was getting out of hand.
War Paint
                Adam stood in silence starring at the small building that was the entrance to the underground base where Dani was being held and tortured.
                “Jeremy managed to retrieve information that helped him map the lay out. There’s an area that has almost triple the security then even the exits and entrances to the base itself. It’s the most likely area they’re holding Dani.” Eve said appearing behind him. “It will be a challenge. There is a staff of at least 60 in the facility.”
                “We’ll take them. All of them. Leave the corpses so anyone else that would imagine to think to come after us will see what such foolishness will earn them.” He said in a low voice.
                “We won’t have much time. I’ve no doubt there are others that will be called as reinforcements.” Eve said.
                “We’ll retrieve Dani and be gone long before they arrive.” He said seriously. “They’ll pay. Every last one of them will pay dearly for what they’ve done. For taking her away from me, for torturing her, for pulling us apart. They’ll soon discover what ‘torture’ truly is.”
                Eve reached up resting her hand on his shoulder feeling his rage and fury. She understood, as she felt the rage for this atrocity no less herself.
                “I cannot help but feel pity for them. Another profession would have been a wiser choice.” She said softly. “If they have a brain between them they won’t look for us or for her ever again.”
Clear Statements
                Eve and Adam quickly and quietly just at sunset. One by one the staff was captured and various gruesome methods used throughout the centuries were employed to help make the point. Methods devised against human beings by human beings. Hard to believe a spices could turn in on itself and imagine doing such horrid unspeakable things to each other regardless of the crimes committed.
                There was a particular form of execution that Adam favored and excelled at in practice. It was from the Nordic culture and was beyond excruciating and torturous. It was known as ‘the blood eagle’ and was performed by cutting the skin of the victim by the spine on either side, breaking the ribs so they resembled blood stained wings and pulling the lungs out through the wounds in the victims back. Salt was sprinkled into the wounds as well. It was an ancient, grotesque, cruel and barbarous way to die, but after everything that had been done, it was beyond warranted and would get the message across that they were to be left alone.
                Neither Eve nor Adam were as ‘civilized’ in centuries past as they were now. They were well versed in the countless horrid ways humans had created to exterminate one another. Both having witnessed and participated in them from time to time.
                Dani lay in her bed asleep, Sean lying with her with both arms wrapped tight around her holding her close their legs entangled together. She’d been sleeping harder and some nights they added sedatives. This was one of those nights as she had started ‘acting up’ earlier that evening and they had no tolerance for it whatsoever. She was too dangerous a creature to simply let run loose. Because they had already been asleep when the base was infiltrated, they were completely unaware that the power had been cut off and that the facility was under attack.
                Within less than two hours, Eve and Adam had gone through 58 of the facilities staff, every single breathing human they could find. The two found the room where Dani was being kept. They looked for a release or a catch but there didn’t seem to be one. They needed a code and an ID card to get it open. She took out her phone, “Security for her cell must run on an independent circuit. Jeremy will be able to help.” She started to dial but before she could finish Adam stepped back and kicked the door open off of his hinge with one hard blow. As soon as it broke open both vampires hurried in horrified at what they saw. Dani naked and Sean curled up against her only wearing a pair of sweats with his arms tight around her.
                At once, Adam moved over grabbing Sean by the neck and jerking him off Dani up from the bed. Instantly Sean was awake looking at the two wide eyed, “What are you doing here!?! My God, they’ll know you’re here!” He said wrapping his hand around Adam’s trying to catch a breath feeling his claws digging into his skin. “They’ll capture you both and it’ll destroy her!”
                “There’s no one left to capture us boy.” Eve hissed, “Everyone else has been dealt with, save you.”
                “I understand . . . your anger . . .” Adam clamped down tighter on his throat making it hard for Sean to breathe much less speak. “But she needs to be watched over! The sedatives they’ve given her are stronger then what they used before, highly experimental!!!” He exclaimed.
                “A song we’ve heard from you more than once.” Eve said.
                “Please!” Sean begged clawing at Adam’s hand his feet kicking in the air. “I’ve done everything possible, anything I could to see she’s been looked after and treated well!!” Adam growled before throwing him across the room away from them tired of hearing his voice.
                They moved to Dani’s side where she lay, “Dani?” Eve took her hand and rested her other hand to her face. She wasn’t responding at all. Adam quickly pulled the covers off of her inspecting her body. As when they had been captured before there were wounds and bruises all over her thighs, hips and buttocks. They had definitely stepped up their efforts.
                Sean got up rubbing his throat watching them, “She’s just sedated.” He said quickly hardly able to draw a breath, his throat painfully sore nearly having the life squeezed out of him. “She’s started fighting back recently and not cooperating as much.” Just then the alarm system kicked on.
                “Missed one.” Eve said knowing they had to move quickly.
                “If the alarm systems are on they’ll start locking things down.” Sean said still gasping for air before hurrying over to the dresser. He pulled out sweat pants and a hoodie to dress Dani with. “You have 14.7 minutes before the building is sealed off and goes into total shut down. Then there will be . . . no way in and no way out.”
                “You’ve done your research.” Eve said. “Then why haven’t you taken out of here yourself?”
                “I had nowhere to take her. I’m watched constantly almost more then she is. I could have gotten her out but then we’d be captured and she would have been brought back here and I would have been considered compromised and liability. Then she wouldn’t have had a friend in this world.” He said as Eve and Adam pulled the clothes onto Dani’s unconscious form. “Come on!” Sean hurried them.
                Adam swept her up in his arms before they followed after Sean. They didn’t have much choice their time having been cut so short.
Safe Houses
                Adam paced at the foot of the bed like an agitated wolf on the prowl his hands clinched at his sides. Sean sat beside Dani on the bed monitoring her vitals which he had become very familiar with. They were so completely different from humans and unique to her physiology. Eve sat cross legged next to Dani on the opposite side.
                Sean was deathly silent and extremely uncomfortable having walked through the absolutely brutal carnage of eviscerated corpses left strung about the facility by the two infuriated vampires. It was far worse and more horrifying then anything portrayed in books or movies. Bodies covered in blood, shredded, and ripped to pieces. Sean had become painfully aware that Adam’s dark look and glowing eyes were on him, just waiting for his usefulness to end so he could do what he had been dreaming of since first becoming aware of his existence in Tangiers.
                “How is she?” Eve asked.
                “She’s starting to come around. But it’ll be another hour before she begins to regain any kind of cognitive consciousness.” Sean said pulling the blankets up over her, “Keeping her warm will help. But she’s been very weak lately. The fertility drugs and sedatives they’ve been using on her have been unnecessarily strong. They were genuinely afraid of her starting to not cooperate.” Now Sean had seen why first hand.
                Eve reached up laying her hand to Dani’s forehead, then her cheek. They’d retrieved her from these same people before in a similar state. “Is she pregnant?” Eve asked outright, her eyes turned up towards Sean.
                He looked up at her a moment glancing towards Adam starting to feel nervous and shaky inside. “No.” He said simply reaching over to the bag he’d grabbed on the way out when they left that had specialized medical equipment specifically for vampires. “She’s . . . .we’ve been . . .”
                “We don’t need details on what you’ve been doing.” Adam snapped. “She reeks of you.”
                Sean closed his eyes dropping his head ashamed of his part in what had happened to her. “I’ve never hurt her. I’ve always been gentle and respectful. I did everything to make sure everyone else treated her with the same care . . .”
                Eve held up her hand to stop him talking. Neither of them wanted to hear another of his pitiful excuses. Just the sound of his voice was going to set off Adam’s barely restrained temper. “You witnessed what they did to her. How they tortured her. The wounds on her body that even now aren’t healing properly. “Eve leaned closer to him over Dani’s body. “For your scent to be this strong, you haven’t just been sleeping with her. You’ve been feeding her your own blood for weeks.”
                “I didn’t have a choice; I had to agree to it to buy her more time. They thought it might improve compatibility.” He began.
                “Have you any idea, any concept of what you’ve done to this girl? What forcing such intimacy on one of our kind, especially a young one such she is, has done? The damage you’ve all done?” Eve said in anger and disgust. “Don’t sit here and try to justify your actions ‘doctor’.”
                Sean sighed, “I’m not trying to, but you have to know that I was the lesser of two evils. At least she was familiar with me, and I was human. What would it have done to her when they started testing to see if she was compatible with other species?” Eve and Adam’s eyes were wide looking at each other in shocked horror. “They told me . . . they said that was the next step if she still didn’t conceive even with the fertility drugs. So yeah,” He looked at them, “I would have forced her if she refused me to spare her from that.”
                “You did all the research, timed the escape, plotted a route, you could have gotten her out of that torture chamber.” Adam said his eyes glowing brighter.
                “She never told me she could contact you, I didn’t even know it was possible that you had a telepathic connection. If she’d just told me I could have gotten her out to you. She never said anything.” Sean added quickly.
                Within half an eye blink Adam had him snatched up off the bed his eyes burning with hate and rage, “Because it was private you moron. She doesn’t belong to you, she is NOT yours. She never was.” He growled his fangs fully elongated and razor sharp as he slammed him into the wall. “You’ve stolen her away, you’ve tortured and humiliated her, and you handed her over to perverted sadists just to be able to bed her as you wished. All the while insisting that you were protecting her, and loved her. You’ve hurt her worse than anyone in her entire existence and that is saying something.”
                Eve took Dani’s hand raising her arm. She kissed her gently before biting deep into her wrist opening the artery. She withdrew her fangs and held the open wound over a bowl.
                “So kill me then.” Sean said starring into his eyes, “It’s what you’ve wanted all along, even before I’d wronged and betrayed her trust. So do it. End my life.”
                Adam smirked as Eve appeared beside him. “Oh, you are going to die. You’ve lost the privilege of whatever it was you called a life. But we aren’t going to kill you.” Adam said in a low tone. “She is.” Sean furrowed his brow not understanding. Adam dropped Sean to the floor on his knees, jerking his head back and forcing his jaw open. Eve quickly held the bowl to his lips pouring Dani’s blood down his throat. Once it was all gone Adam closed Sean’s mouth and held his nose leaving him no choice but to swallow. Holding his hand over Sean’s face, he looked into his eyes. “Now you’ll know what true agony and suffering really is. I imagine if they experimented with using her blood to turn others, they quickly realized their mistake.” After another moment Adam threw him to the floor.
                “What are . . . what are you talking about?” Sean said quickly sick at the taste of blood on his tongue that seemed to burn worse and worse.
                “Young vampires cannot turn others. Their blood isn’t strong enough for that. Not for the first 60 years or so. Instead it acts as a slow wasting poison ripping a human apart from the inside mentally and physically.” Eve said standing over him with Adam neither having an ounce of pity for the tragic and excruciating end he was headed for. Not after everything he had done while relentlessly insisting it was all because he loved Dani. It was a disgusting excuse for such sadistic torture.
                “You shouldn’t be concerned. Your friends will no doubt find you before long and will want to study and experiment on what is left of you.” Adam said coldly. “Should be interesting. As Dani is extremely unique, you’ll no doubt be their new obsession and prized pet.”
                Sean’s vision started to blur as he stumbled back down to the floor when he tried to get up unable to keep his footing. Eve and Adam watched a moment longer in silence before turning and walking away. They had to move to get out of the state in just a few short hours before sunrise. Sean lay on the floor convulsing slightly then falling into darkness.
Reunited
                Eve walked into the basement carrying a carafe of blood and a glass. She smiled seeing that Dani was awake and sitting up against the pillows. Walking over she leaned down and kissed her head before sitting next to her. “How are you feeling tonight?”
                “Better.” Dani said still exhausted hardly able to keep her eyes open.
                “It’s going to take a little time. You’ve been through so much.” Eve responded. Dani half smiled before her eyes turned down again. Eve knew already why she was uncomfortable, “You must put the past in the past Dani. Leave it behind.” She said gently stroking her hair back from her face.
                “I told you . . . I asked you not to come.” Dani said as her head dropped and her eyes closed with a sigh, “I begged you to stay away.”
                “Dani,” Eve began reaching over taking her hand. “You did what you did to protect us, your family. Because you loved us. Did you honestly think we didn’t love you just as much? I know you’ve been on your own for much of your life. Your human family died long before it’s time, and the closeness we share is much deeper then what any human will ever experience in their lifetime. You are one of us darling.”
                “But I didn’t want you to get hurt, Eve. That is exactly what wanted to stop.” Dani said, “Adam said you weren’t able to find me for a long time. Why, why did you keep looking? Why couldn’t you guys just go back to your lives?”
                “Because our lives have changed, you are part of it now.” Eve moved closer and wrapped her arm around Dani, “You have loved and cared for others your entire life. Why is it so hard for you to accept and understand that someone loves you just as unreservedly as you love them?”
                “Oh Eve.” Dani closed her eyes covering her face with both hands, “It just isn’t that simple.”
                “It is if you stop looking for reasons for it to be complicated.” Eve responded seriously. “Dani,” She began, “I don’t understand why you feel you deserve all that they did to you and worse. What can you possibly imagine you are guilty of to deserve to be tortured so horribly?” Dani grew quiet and turned her eyes away. Eve reached up smoothing Dani’s hair back from her face, “Oh darling.” It was painfully clear now. It was because of Adam. Because he and Eve were married. Because Dani loved him so deeply, and loved them both so very much not fully understanding any of it.
                Dani remained quiet another moment before taking a breath, “Eve . . .when we all lived together in Tangiers . . . it was so wrong. I realize it was only on Wednesdays but Adam . . . we . . .” She covered her eyes with her hand, “I was having sex and sleeping with your husband down the hall 20 feet away from your bedroom door. While you were home. That . . . that is absolutely disgusting.” She said looking at her. “I’ve been stealing from you since the beginning and you aren’t even angry with me and you should be.”
                “Why?” Eve asked directly.
                Dani starred at her in disbelief, “Because he’s your husband . . .Adam is yours.”
                “And you are his.” It felt like they’d had this conversation several times but she was still refusing to accept it, “Dani, you know this already, why do you still fight it?” She questioned.
                “Because he doesn’t belong to me Eve, I have no right to intrude like I have done.” Dani felt like she was losing her mind and going around in circles.
                “I wouldn’t punish you, so you gave yourself to those who would.” Eve was making sense of all of this now, “And you accepted Sean as a roommate hoping it would make you forget Adam and not need him as much and as desperately as you do. Trying to make yourself forget how much he needs you.”
                “But he doesn’t need me. He has you.” Dani turned towards her, “You’ve been around for centuries why do you act like you have no idea why I’m bothered by all of this?”
                “Perhaps because I have been around for centuries I don’t put stock in petty trivial nonsense.” She said seriously. Dani sighed suddenly feeling tired and weak. She was slowly showing signs of improvement and getting better but still had a long way to go. Eve reached over pouring her a large glass of warm blood and put it in her hand. “Drink love, then you can go back to sleep and rest.” She said stroking her hair back over her shoulder.
                Dani took a breath knocking back the blood before Eve took the glass standing from the bed. She kissed her forehead and Dani lay back down falling asleep almost immediately. Eve picked up the carafe and headed out of the basement closing the door silently so as not to disturb her.
Rehabilitation
                “This is going so slow. To fucking slow.” Adam said lying back against the couch one of his guitars across his middle.
                “I know darling.” Eve said walking over sitting down next to him handing him a glass of blood. He sighed putting the instrument down sitting up taking the glass. “She’s still very conflicted, confused, and lost.” Eve began, “Which is why I think it’s time that we separate again.” She said seriously. Adam looked at her, “She’s much more at ease when it’s just the two of you. My being under the same roof tends to weigh her down with unnecessary guilt. She can’t let go of the zombie morality she clung to when she was still one of them. If she’s going to heal properly, quickly as she’s meant to, I need to leave the two of you alone and give you the privacy she needs to feel comfortable again.
                “Eve, you don’t have to leave us. I need your help with her. Especially now.” Adam said.
                “Darling, I am helping you. You will fair far better with her if I’m not here.” She said honestly. Reaching over she rested her hand on his arm, “We’ll still talk and see each other. I’m just a phone call away. But the two of you need some time together. She’s so torn apart inside and confused. After everything she’s gone through, it would be best to keep things as simple as we can for now. Dani’s still young and she’s been through on trauma after another. Not just from the time she was turned but her entire life. We’re the only real family she’s ever had, you know that.”
                “Yes. WE are the only family she’s got, not just me. The three of us together. She cares for you, respects you and loves you Eve. You can’t leave now, we just got her back. We’re finally together again and safe.” He insisted.
                Eve smiled looking into his eyes before leaning in and kissed him running her fingers over his shoulder then up his neck and into his hair. “It’s not forever darling, you know that. But this is what is needed most right now. She’s at a very vulnerable and critical stage and she’s so very very young. She needs you and your undivided attention.” She kissed him and then again. “You know as well as I do this is the best way to get her through this. If I’m not here then you can spend every night and day with her and she won’t fight you or push you away.”
                “She did before when it was just she and I living in Detroit. What on Earth makes you imagine that will change now?” He asked.
                “Things have changed darling. In so many ways. She just isn’t ready to explore the physical feelings she and I have for each other and it could be a very long time before she could even consider it.” Eve explained.
                “But when you took her to Madrid I thought . . . .”
                Eve smiled, “No darling. We slept together in the same bed. We cuddled and touched, but that was as far as things went.” She kissed him once more, “I’ll be leaving tomorrow night. I’ve already made all the arrangements. When Marlowe left Tangiers because of how unwelcoming it had become towards us, he made certain there would be a place for me there too. There’s a steady and clean blood supply and all.”
                “Tomorrow night? So soon?” Adam was hardly happy to hear this. “Did you tell her?”
                “No my love. She’s exhausted and needs her rest. Not to mention she has enough on her mind already without adding to it.” Eve said, “We have today to spend together, and you can take me to the airport at sunset.” Adam gave a reluctant nod. Eve kissed him again as Adam pulled her onto his lap wrapping his arms around her, holding her tight.
Slow Recovery
                Dani was given to sleeping for several days at a time since they had brought her home, not even fully waking up to be fed before going back to sleep. Adam moved her upstairs to the master bedroom with him after Eve left. Dani hadn’t been fully awake and conscious for more than a few minutes at a time since then.
                There were times when she slept she would toss about and cry out. Adam watched over her but it was maddening not to be able to do anything. She was healing and improving but it was taking so long and going so slow. Those people had ground her down until there was almost nothing left, using half measures and sticking plasters to extend her tortured existence for their own twisted sadistic purposes.
                Adam pulled the covers off of Dani before pulling off her pajama bottoms and top so he could inspect the wounds on her body that were still not healing as they should. They were better without a doubt, yet they were still not fully healed. “Fucking ridiculous.” He hissed under his breath.
                Thinking a moment he got up from the bed and disappeared for a while. When he returned he was carrying several items including a few pints of blood. Putting them on the side table he sat next to Dani once more. His fingertips gently smoothing through her hair.
                “Jesus I hope this works.” He said with a sigh. Reaching over he picked up a razor sharp blade wrapping his arm underneath her pulling her closer to the edge of the bed. Raising her arm, he kissed her knuckles and the palm of her hand holding it to his cheek a moment. Then he moved her arm over the pan that sat on the floor below slicing the artery open at her wrist lengthwise beginning to drain the tainted blood from her weak body. He rested his hand on her abdomen, “I’m sorry darling, I don’t have access to fancy medical machines. We have to do this the old fashioned way.”
                Leaning down he kissed her tenderly then gazed down at her for several moments. This wasn’t going to be pleasant but they weren’t really left a whole lot of options. He kissed her once more stroking her face gently.
Long Distance Updates
                “So she’s better then?” Eve said looking at Adam’s image on the screen.
                “Back to her old self again.” Adam sighed, “In every single way.” There was a definite annoyed tone in his voice.
                “Has she gone back to keeping you at arm’s length already then darling?” Eve said sympathetic to his situation. “She did spend a substantial amount of time with Sean, and I imagine she’s feeling ashamed of that.”
                “I was under the impression we were putting all that nonsense behind us. Why does she insist on clinging on to the past?” Adam asked.
                “Because it’s a step further then before she was taken from Tangiers. They made her drink his blood and his scent permeates every single ounce of her person.” Eve explained. “They must have kept her extremely well fed after that to keep her from attacking him. Still being a zombie, he must have smelled like food to her.”
                “That’s done and over with and never going to come up again. He’s gone, and won’t bother any of us or anyone else for that matter, any further.” Adam stated. “And I drained every last drop from her Eve, his blood is gone.”
                “What of her wounds?” Eve inquired.
                “All healed and completely gone, as if they never were.” Adam reported.
                Eve studied his face for a moment. “Purely medical inspection was it?” Adam sighed rolling his eyes slightly. “Oh darling.”
                “The whole reason you left is so that she and I could be together yet she keeps me even further away than before.” He pointed out. “Now that she’s awake she won’t let near her. Not a kiss, not a touch, no affection whatsoever. It’s maddening.”
                “She’s afraid.” Eve reminded him.
                “She’s no reason to be afraid of me for heaven sake. I would never hurt her.” Adam said defensively.
                “She’s afraid that you won’t want her anymore because of him.” She pointed out.
                “That’s absurd.” Adam said standing starting to pace. “She was upset that you had gone and blames herself for your absence, of course. If I didn’t want her then we wouldn’t have searched for her and committed countless acts of carnage in her retrieval.”
                “Darling, the same problem remains. Dani doesn’t believe that she is worth the effort and danger we engaged in to save her. To bring her home again. The very same reason that she gave herself up to them in the first place and submitted herself to such torture.”
                “How am I to convince her otherwise? How am I to make her see that we want her? That I want her?” Adam asked before sitting down again in his seat with a frustrated sigh.
                “I don’t know love. That’s something you’re going to have to work out.”
                “I’ve done nothing but try to work it out since the beginning.” Adam responded. “So far things haven’t gone so well.”
                Eve smiled, “Darling, you know her. You know each other. You just have to reconnect, like you did in her dream. She’s lost, help her find you again.”
