When I walked into the door I was greeted by several sets of tiny running feet.

" MAMA!"

" ELLIE!"

" ELLIE!"
Dropping down to my knees I took the three little girls in my arms, hugging them close. Their tight grip had me feel like I was home. Looking up I grinned at the three adults who were watching us.

" Hey."

I said, standing while keeping all three girls supported, Liz looked like she was ready to join in the hug while Abe and Red tried to look manly.

" Nice to see you Blue. Least you can do is smile."

" Eleanor, not a word in three months. We thought you were dead."

" I'm sorry, I was trying to bring back tons of people who were kidnapped from their homes."

" Why didn't you call? Rose was so different without you, she didn't know what to do with herself. She started to drink coffee to be like you Eleanor."

" She hates coffee."

" She wanted to be like you. She missed you more than you can imagine."

" So my little thorn, Dad told me that you drink coffee?"

She nodded, her eyes lighting up.

" Yes! It's really good and I'm just like you now!"

Smiling I handing off the twins to Liz and Red.

" What did I miss while kicking butt?"

She shook her head, her blue eyes wide with honesty.

" Well I have a pot of coffee made if you would want a cup."

Abe said, grinning I jumped to pull Rose up higher on my hip. We all headed over to the kitchen were a nice pot of coffee was being made. Setting Rose on the counter I got down my mug and Abe got out the creamer. It was like I never left, only thing was it was quite. Not much laughter or children running around. So I just sat there drinking my coffee while everyone sat there in silence. It was making me feel very uncomfortable. About halfway though the mug I got up.

" Why are you all so quiet. I'm not dead, I was fighting one of Dad's battles for him. They brought me in because I could blend in with the crowed, why can't you all just stop acting like I died."

They all looked away, only the kids gave me a weird look.

" Eleanor, you didn't call us for three months after being kidnapped. We honestly thought you were dead until Matt called us. We just, it's hard to understand why you didn't call us. We were worried sick, at least Abe tried to call us when he was away."

I turned,

" When I was hunting down the vampire all I could think about was the families who were missing their children, were if I was in that situation. What if my Rose was taken? I couldn't rest, I honestly didn't eat or sleep during those weeks where I was looking for her lair. I could only work. It was to the point where Matt had to damn near drag me to my bed and force me to sleep. When I woke up I went off on my own to find her. And I did, I was kidnapped and torchered for a good three weeks. When I finally had enough I killed the vampire. And I headed right back to the town, Then I came home. The entire time I was captured I thought of my family. I am sorry that I didn't call. In my mind set if I didn't let anything distract me I could come home sooner, but obviously it wasn't the best idea. Now I am going to go to my room and sleep. No, wait, Imma get a shower and No one is to join me. Then I am going to my room and no one is to bother me. Because you know what, obviously I only think of myself. To hell with family."
