" I define connection as the energy that 

exist between when they feel

seen, heard, and valued."

Tam's POV

"Who is Sebastian?" I asked Nathan, he just looks at me questioningly,

"You don't know him?" he asked me. I nod and shrug. Should I?

"Well, should I?" I asked them, the name sounds so foreign, so, this Andrea that my mom's friends is already married, but it doesn't mean that I should knew it. I only want to asked few questions about my mom to her. I look at everyone that is looking at me like I told them that the world is flat. What's wrong?

The Elder clear's his throat once more and look at me.

"Can I tell you something?" he asked me and smile, I return his smile and shrug. I lean back but Nathan guide my body to lean at him, I look at him and he just smile, although it kind of awkward, I just go with it, besides it make me calm, the way he hold me reassuringly.

"We are at war." He said hauntedly,

I frown, what does he mean by 'at war'? Everything seems normal, there is no war going on. I am about to tell it to him when suddenly my mind swirl with all the images I never understand, and never ever been seen. It fills my mind to hilt that I am forced to clutch my head.

Nathan, who seems to sense my torments, shook me gently,

"Hey, baby? Are you okay?" he said and run his hand up and down my back, it seems to stop the images and I breathe deeply. I just nod.

"Just headache." I answer and face the Elders once again. A mixture of curiosity and worry was in their face. I just nod at them.

"What do you mean 'war'?" I asked him. Ramon looks at me and then to Nathan, I frown again when his face turns blank, I follow his gaze and look at Nathan too.

"Do you believe in vampires?" Nathan asked me suddenly, the question taken me aback, because it was extremely out of subject. Or so I thought.

"Yeah?" I said dragging my answer like a question. Though I have read about Vampires in my personal research, I have never yet met anyone of their kind.

"Well, Sebastian is a blood sucker- vampires, I mean." Nathan answers me nonchalantly. I nod slowly; though I never get it why he was suddenly talking about Vampires and Sebastian, I also felt it that the information he was giving me will be vital in the upcoming events.

"So?" I asked tentatively so he will continue, as far as I what gather, the woman I am looking for, the one named Andrea Cerca, is a married woman and she is missing, also that she is the wife of the Vampire man named Sebastian.

"So, honey, you are searching for the woman whose husband was, and still is, slaughtering and rising war against my kind and all others." He explained to me seriously, and then suddenly, something in my inside flips. Like a switch have been turns on. Images after images that I never have ever seen flood in my mind. I gasp, and grip Nathan's hand and the armseat.

Please.

I plead, but I don't know why I plead, the images that I am seeing in my mind, is not from my own memory, it's like it's not from my mind. But, from someone else mind.

Suddenly the images slows down, I can finally focus on what it was; it became clearer and not fuggy anymore. I gasp once more when I realize that the images are a field filled with dead bodies of people. Men. Woman. Children.

Oh,God. I thought and closed my eyes tightly wishing for the images to stop from flooding in. and it was like the Gods heard my plea, the images stop abruptly and all was left was a blank canvas of my mind.

"You saw it?" the shock voice of Nathan made my eyes open and met his piercing gray one.

"Saw what?" I asked, my voiced became raw. He looked at me for the second time of the day he looked at me like he can't believe I am true.

"the field." He murmured. My eyes widen. Realization hit me like an avalanche, it's his mind.

"I-I saw your mind?" I stutter and gulp, I guess my eardrum already exploded.

He didn't nod, he didn't shake his head. He just smiled at me warmly.

"It's a mate-link, baby," I heard his deep baritone voice inside my head and it.freaks.me.out.

My heart literally stops and my eyes bulge. So, I did what I want to do all day.

I scream my heart out,

And fainted.
