She was shaking, she had never experienced such terror, she had watched the beast tear her parents limb from limb.

He had made her watch, when her mother had denied the bloodsucker entry to thier home he had burned the place to force them out. Her parents had tried to fight him but even her mother's magic could not kill the monster.

She still did not understand why she was not killed, instead he forced her with him as he dragged her across the countryside and out of Wales. He taunted her often of how he would kill her, that he was bringing her to her worst nightmare.

When they had finally arrived at her nightmare it was simply a man, a finely dressed man who she could almost feel the power coming from but a single man nonetheless. She had refused to meet his eyes out of fear but she heard the growl he made, it made her shake in fear.

"What did you do to her?" asked the man, surprising her capture greatly as the vampire shifted, she could feel it as his hands held her in an iron grip

"What did you do to her?" asked the man, surprising her capture greatly as the vampire shifted, she could feel it as his hands held her in an iron grip.

The hands tightened on her making her wince in pain, they were gone a moment later as she heard a crash, she turned to see her capture groaning as he lay against the wall.

Gentle hands were now in the place her captures once were "Are you alright, Love?" the man asked gently, moving one of his hands to her chin, gently directing her to look at him.

When she met his eyes she saw the bluest oceans within, and then dull ache as she felt a wave of magic make its way through her mind.

She gasped as she looked up "Nik!" she said as she jumped in his arms. That was until she registered exactly what had just occurred and she pushed him away suddenly and turned towards the man who killed her family.

She scowled at him, barely feeling satisfaction at the wide eyed look of horror he was giving them both, probably realizing how much he had misread the situation. "Kill him, slowly" she said with little emotion.

She watched as Niklause tore him limb from limb before pulling out his heart. "So you had people searching for me?" she asked Nik once he was done.

He grimaced "Yes Love, even before you died I had vampires shown your portrait" he said softly, remorse in his voice as he knew he had made a mistake by not ensuring others knew she was to be kept safe.

"Well isn't this interesting. I did not know Nikalus was capable of love" A voice said behind her making her stiffen and turn. An imposing man was standing in front of her, his demeanor predatory as he looked at her as if she was a tool he could use.

"How can you stand to be around the scourge?" The man asked making her take a step away from him.

"I don't know what you're talking about sir but I would like to return home" She said, gripping her basket. She was cursing herself for leaving without Bekah, having magic in this life made her cocky, she had become complacent.
