James sighed. 
"There are other ways you know."
He looked back and forth before passing a glass of blood to brandon. 
"Eric has regular blood at the buffet. and if it comes down to it, you can always hunt some of the small animals out in the gardens. i'm sure he would allow it. Besides, if anything, Elizabeth is probably beating herself up over what happened."



Elizabeth had placed the ring on the bed with a note of apology, saying she hurt brandon and that she felt bad over it. She was leaving the mansion, shifting into an animal and leaving. 


Emma sighed.
"They need to work it out before she leaves."
