Melissa had fallen asleep on Quinn's lap. "All right Quinn. I will put her to bed now."
"I will follow you Grandma." He said quietly.
I quickly cleaned off the table and put everything in the washtub. Gen and I washed and dried the dishes. Then we served some tea for everyone.
I handed a cup to Shaun and I was shaking slightly. "Are you all right? It is the first time I have ever seen a vampire shake."
"I feel fine."
"If you say so Kylie."
"I am sure it is nothing Shaun." He nodded.
We finished our tea and everyone left for their quarters. Quinn went to bed. Cassie went with Samuel. Paddy and I went to our bed.
"Kylie it has been twenty eight days. I think it is time for another sip."
"I think so too."
I kissed him then took my sip then kissed him again. I was very satisfied with just a sip. I was quite surprised.
"Enough?"
"Yes." I nodded.
"You have not been sipping animals, have you?"
"No, I want to know how long I would last too. I do not even lick my lips when I cull the chickens."
"I was just making sure Kylie."
"I know."
I kissed him again. "Enough talking."

The next morning Gen, Cassie, Councilwoman Cleo, Colleen and I stood outside the cell Michael John was in.
"Ladies, you honour me with your presents." He said with a smile.
"Michael John we are here only to remind you about why you were sentenced." Councilwoman Cleo told him.
"Yes my dear Councilwoman Cleo. I still feel the spike."
"Good may it be a constant reminder."
Michael John grunted. "Councilwoman Cleo there is no reason to apply heat. I can feel it quite well."
"Just making sure Michael John."
We brought Michael John to the training square. He stood in front of the Council.
"Michael John you are under probation for the next hundred years. If we find that you have killed any of your victims. 'Any of them.' You will be destroyed. Do you understand?"
