Lexi could hear them around her as she walked through the forest, heading towards the cabin. She knew why he picked this place, everything he had done, was to bring her here. Ryan, Hannah, and now her family.

She saw one of the vamps first, Max. His eyes were on her the whole time, and he was stading, ready to come for her. She just ignored him and kept walking. She could hear she was being surrounded, and she hoped to find a mark, one of the gifted ones, to take their power.

As she came to the clearing, she could hear groans of pain and whimpering, knowing she was close, and kept her pace.

There he was, stood on the decking, of the cabin, smirking at her. She could see there were about 20 others, not including the ones that were a little ways off, surrounding her should she run. She wouldn't, not for her family.

'My Lexi..'.. He sighed, content that she was there... 'I was beginning to think you wouldn't show..'

Lexi noticed that Nicholas, Eli and Reyah were impaled to trees, bloody and beaten. The Avengers, her family, were bound on the ground before him, all seemed unhurt, but she didn't trust him... 'Connor, I'm here now, let them go. Persuade them to forget everything about us, and they can carry on doing what they do..'.. She took a few more steps forward to him, her eyes never leaving him... 'I'll go with you, willingly, just let them go..'

He grinned sickeningly at her, as he stepped down... 'Oh, but I want to see what else you'll do for them. Come here..'... He commanded.

Lexi did as he said, walking closer to him, trying to not show her fear. When she was right in front of him, her eyes darted to her family on the ground, hearing their heartbeats, knowing he hadn't turned any of them. He backhanded her hard, and she hit the ground groaning.

'I didn't give you permission to look at them..'.. He bent down, grabbing her by the hair and pulling her to her feet. He gripped her chin with his other hand... 'You are mine, and you will do as I say..'

'Yes Co-..'.. She gasped when he squeezed her jaw... 'Master, yes master I will do as you say..'

She watched him smirk, and he had no idea. She was hoping he didn't know... 'My good girl, my pet..'.. He released her, stroking his fingers down the cheek he had hit. Lexi knew better than to flinch from him, but she needed him to touch her more.

She pulled back enough, to irritate him... 'I will do what you want master, but me for them, that's the deal..'... He did what she wanted, and lunged for her, gripping her by the throat.

'You will kill every one of them, do you understand me! A merciful death by your hand, or I'll set the dogs on them..'.. He squeezed hard enough that she gripped his arm, gasping, afraid. She knew he meant the wolves he had on his side.

'Please master..'.. She wheezed out... 'I-I can't breathe..'... She kept hold of his arm, feeling it. She needed a bit longer, it was almost done.

He pulled her close, so his face was mere centermeters from hers, growling at her... 'Kill them now!..'

She heard the wolves step closer, and he dropped her. She crumpled to the floor, drawing in ragged breaths as she clutched her throat. That was all the time she needed. Pushing herself to her shaky feet, she stood rocking her neck side to side.

'Yes master..'.. She walked over to her family, seeing them on the ground and she swallowed hard, hesitating.

'Your precious soldiers first...'.. She heard him say smugly. She glanced around, seeing a few vamps, wolves and witches. She moved to her alpha, and knelt down. She wanted to kiss him, but knew it would set Connor off on a rampage. She fought back the smile, as Barnes peeked at her, giving her a slight nod.
