The whole time Dustin was dealing with her parents Reni was holding her breathe. It was a good thing that a vampire doesn't actual breathe.  She could tell he did it but she needed to get him away from everything.  So she bid her goodbye's for now and looked at Dustin and tilted her head telling him to follow her and she led him towards the basement of the house.<br/><br/>"Thank you Dustin, I know that was very hard on you.  But I want to thank you for doing it for my parents."<br/><br/>Reni had just about gotten to the stairs to the basement when her Aunt appeared in front of them.<br/><br/>"Oh come on Renimay my dear where are you going? Everyone wants to meet your friend.  Marina has told everyone all about him."  Aunt Mattie said  "Marina has told me that Dustin and her have gotten to be very close friends.  I hope that is not bothering you Renimay.<br/><br/>Reni was trying not to blow up, it was obvious what Marina was trying to do, "Well Aunt Madalyn this is my friend Dustin, Dustin this is Marina's mother and my mothers sister."<br/><br/>Reni wanted to get this over as fast as she could, she hated the way her aunt was eying Dustin.  She always was not sure.  Next thing they new what was happening was Marina had joined them and slid her arm into Dustin's and kissed his cheek.<br/><br/>"Now mother, quit embarrassing my Dustin."  Marina said with a smile.<br/><br/>Reni was at a loss she was not sure how to handle this.she knew she should have told her mother what Marina had done but she had just kept it between them.  All Reni could do right now was hope Dustin stayed calm long enough to get him downstairs in the studio.  She imagined after this he would want to cut himself.  She was wishing now she would have not asked him to come.  How was she suppose to know that Marina was going to tell her mother that Dustin and her were seeing each other or whatever it was that she told her.
