rejoin your brothers in arms as they search for Amun.  I will appoint dheartháir Oleif to watch over the girl now.”
    He glanced back over his shoulder at Hagan.  “You, Emrick, and Oleif will be able to handle her, yes?  I want someone guarding her at all times.  She is never to be alone.”
    “Aye, athair ,” Hagan bowed his head again.  “You have my solemn vow.”
    Ruarc turned his head and stepped over to a towering man with long, straight blond hair and aqua eyes.  He was blindingly handsome and seemed extremely formidable.  He also looked distinctly Viking and I wondered if he was old enough to have been. 
    “Oleif, I trust you to watch this creature closely,” Ruarc said quietly to him, but my newly sensitive vampire hearing picked it up anyway and I bristled at the slur.  “You are my eyes and ears while I’m away hunting for her sire.  Should she become a problem, you have my blessing to act accordingly.”
    “Aye, sir,” Oleif rumbled in his deep, heavily accented voice as his gaze flickered over to me.  His eyes were cold and promised my death if I stepped out of line.  The hair on the back of my neck stood on end as I swallowed hard and immediately averted my gaze.  Oleif scared the holy hell out of me.
    A soft groan sounded a few feet away as the man who tried unsuccessfully to murder me stirred.  We all turned and looked down at him as he sat up.  “W-Why am I on the floor?” he mumbled, confused before his gaze slid to me.  His eyes grew wide as he took in my uninjured neck and chest.  “Impossible!  I delivered death’s blade to her heart.  She should be dead!  What trick is this?”
    Killian was the closest to him and reached down to help his fallen brother off the floor.  “There is much you missed, dheartháir .  I’ll fill you in later over a pint of blood.”
    Ruarc’s voice rose as he called out an Irish-Gaelic command to his men.  I glanced up to see them sheath their weapons and turn to climb the stairs.  Ruarc turned back to my new vampire brothers and sister and addressed Archer who was still being shielded by the wall their bodies formed.
    “You are not permitted to allow her to take the sacred vows.  She is not one of us until I say she is.  IF she passes my tests, she will be allowed to declare herself to our Lord.  I have been more than generous this day, Fearchar .  Do not soon forget it.”  With that, Ruarc flashed up the stairs and joined his men in leaving the house.

Chapter Four
     
     
    “Feckin’ ‘ell that was tense!” Lochlan burst out as soon as we heard the front door close. 
    Everyone took a much needed deep breath and glanced over at me.  It was unnerving having all eyes on me.  They were looking at me like I was about to sprout three heads or something.
    “What?  I’m not going to bite, geez,” I rolled my eyes as I crossed my filthy arms over my ruined and now ripped tank top.  “Stop looking at me like I’m unhinged.”
    “Uh,” Trey started timidly.  He was the first to speak as he looked over at Archer for permission to come to me.  I sighed heavily and pursed my lips as Archer nodded faintly.
    “You look good, honey,” Trey smiled as he broke from the group and slowly walked over to me.
    “How do you feel, Morrison?” Hagan questioned.
    I licked my lips as another hunger pain slammed into me, this one a lot stronger than the last. 
    Trey gently put his hand on my shoulder and chuckled.  “She’s hungry… very hungry.  Besides that I feel relief… lots of relief and gratitude.  What do you say we clean you up and get you something to drink, Skye?”
    I looked down again at my filthy skin, the horrors of my rough rebirth coating it almost completely, and nodded my head eagerly.  “A shower sounds really good right now.”
    Trey smiled proudly and put his arm around my waist.  “Come meet our new sister,” he addressed the group.
    Aoife was the first to flash over to me and throw her arms around
