Black Water

The first thing she notices is the soft warm sheets she lies on beneath her skin. She flutters her eyes open as she tries to piece together what happened. Her head is throbbing with a dull ache as she reaches to touch her temple she feels a sharp pain in her head that makes her wince.

Her eyes adjust to the light as she realizes shes in a familiar place. She looks around the familiar room she was in days ago. There's a sudden knock on the door of the room that catches her attention.

The door opens and a man enters. A familiar man she knows. Elijah. He has a concerned look on his face. Isabella felt a sense of safety with him although she couldn't find where it came from. Her eyes observe him as she feels a sudden jolt of unfamiliar emotions within her. Elijah's eyes watch her carefully as he feels a jolt of emotions he has longed to act on.

"You're awake" He speaks gently feeling the pain she felt within.

"How are you feeling?"

"I don't know" She replied.

"What happened?" Her tone was suddenly demanding confused on the situation she looks to him for an answer her eyes full of confusion.

His eyes go soft at the sight of the beautiful woman he loves who's lost and confused. He takes a step towards get his eyes stay focused on hers that stare right back at his.

"I believe the person who is trying to control you was making a strike at your mind once again. Whoever it is was close to killing this time." He informs her of the situation.

"But there is no need to worry I have a very powerful witch who can help you. I believe he can help you regain your lost memories if you're up for it Mrs Bianco" He reassures her.

Her eyes scan over him trying to detect any false information. She listens for his heart rate listening to how steady it beats. Elijah watches with amusement as he knows what she's doing. He clears his throat as he catches her lost in a trance of her listening to his heartbeat.

She snaps her eyes up to his and finds him grinning at her. She rolls her eyes and stands up off the bed.

"Why are you so willing to help me when you don't even know me? My friends killed you." She questions him as she walks to a chair that's across the room and takes a seat.

"Correction, they tried to kill me." Elijah pauses as his eyes follow her movements.

"But I am already dead so it's entirely impossible to kill me." He answers with a cocky grin.

"Yeah well it's entirely impossible for you to still be alive too." She mutters under breath.

"I am a very old vampire Mrs Bianco. It's impossible to kill me at all. But that's besides the point. It's a possibility that I may know who is doing this to you." Elijah suddenly drops his grin as he tells her the truth behind his intentions.

Isabella sits up as she listens to him confused.

"So you have an idea of who this could be but you didn't think to tell me the first time I was here? Why's that?" She tilts her head annoyed at him.

"Because the person who could be possibly doing this is very strong." He tells her his hands rested in his pockets as he watches for her reaction.

Isabella scoffs at his reply as she stands up making her way to him in strides.

"I don't think you know who I am so let me introduce myself. I am Isabella Bianco the all powerful tribe I'd and if you don't tell me who the hell is doing this to me I will rip your throat out." She threatens the original without a stutter her fangs make an appearance as the gains under her eyes darken with hunger.
