to give a nudge to knock it over while having a driving lesson.”
                  “Any other questions?”
                  The only response was a series of yawns and shaken heads.
    “Good. The sun will be up in a few hours, so off to bed unless you’re pulling guard duty. When you relieve the sentries, please pass on the info. Tomorrow is our last day together, make the best of it. Goodnight all.”
                  I’m going to miss everyone. Miss this life of community and purpose. I hope they survive. I hope we do, too.
     

CHAPTER 7 DECEMBER 4TH - YEAR 2
                  Today was difficult. Edith practically begged us to stay; her attempt to convince Cal becoming immensely intimate. At one point, the Roman cocked up an eyebrow and considered the ploy.
                  “You’d really consent to that ?” Caelinus rubbed his chin with his forefinger and thumb. “That is quite the proposal, sweet lady, but I’m afraid I must make the journey. I assure you, you will not be forgotten.” He kissed her forehead gently and grinned. “Especially after making such a generous offer.”
                  The petite grandmother blushed and patted his hand before leaving the dining room.
                  “I’ll miss having a handsome gent like you around, but you’ll be able to reach me online when your troop gets out of the quarantine. I’ll make everyone a farewell feast. Let me know if you change your mind though Cal; I may surprise you.”
                  All day, hugs and tokens of friendship were exchanged. We played games with the kids for a couple of hours; we’d all begun to think of them as ours to protect. I made a mental promise to find a way to get them all to safety one day. Daemon played tea party in the afternoon with Ellen and Bobbi. The plastic tiara sat askew his head and glitter nail polish had been applied to his nails while he slept. Reggie laughed at the fledgling vampire being forcibly given a makeover. The bright pink lipstick and azure eye shadow was interesting against his leather jacket and wranglers.
                  Around 4PM the mood changed.
                  Sunny shouted instructions to Chase from the other bedroom.
                  “Remember to grab the bandages and vitamins.”
                  Her husband double-checked the rucksack and shoved in some mouthwash.
                  “Got it, Sweetie. And the doll from Bubba. And the usual supplies.” Chase flashed a toothy smile at me and held up a flashlight. “Did you pack my wind-up flashlight?”
                  “Of course I did. It’s right...” We listened to the shuffling of clothes and various supplies. “Um, it was just here. Chase, where did you leave it?”
                  I snapped my lips tight to trap in the giggling. My own bag sat on the floor next to the cot.
                  “You had it, Sunny. I thought you said you packed it already?”
                  “I thought I did. Why don’t you come give me a hand?”
                  “I can’t, I’ve only got the one.”
                  Marley Guy walked past the door, chuckling and mumbling to himself.
                  “Not funny, Chase. Where is that light? I thought...”
                  Our laughter broke free.
                  “...Chase?”
                  A flurry of footsteps came down the hall. I tried to reign in the hilarity while grabbing my bag to leave but was stopped at the door by Sunny.
                  Pregnant or not she moves quick!
                  “Do you two think this is funny? This is serious.” I glanced behind me at Chase; his face was dark red trying to keep a calm expression. “How old are you?”
