Over the next couple of days Freya found Lucien about the compound. She tried to avoid him. Her and Lucien. No matter how much she wanted him she couldn't let anything more than what had happen.
She often found him drinking from a string of different women. Blood dripping down the side of his mouth as he pulled back from the poor unwilling girl to give her a bloodied grin. She found it disgusting that she had kissed those same lips. He had kissed her so fervently, gently and passionately. His lips were so soft against her skin as they pleasured her yet he could cause so much pain and destruction with them too.
He got on her nervous just as much as she enjoyed his company. A little touch here and there would send her heart a flutter and she hated the feeling she felt whenever she was around him. She felt like she was out of control and she had a lifetime of that with Dahlia; granted it was for a completely different reason but still she liked to feel in control, and with him she did not.
One night in the lounge, sprawled across the seats of the couch as she longed to have her brother Finn back but she knew the devastation it would cause. She knew that she needed to leave him be, trapped in her pendant, at least for the time being anyway.
As she lay thinking about her siblings a few tears escaped her eyes, falling down her cheeks. She just wanted her family to be whole, to have all her siblings together. For them to get on and not want to kill each other.
"Hello love" came a voice she had heard a thousand times over the last few days. Looking up she saw Lucien stood in the doorway. Watching her with a slight frown "What's wrong sweetheart?" he asked.
Getting up from her position she ran a hand down her face, trying to wipe the evidence of her tears away "Nothing" she lied.
He walked over to her and sat down. Reaching out he caressed the curve of her cheek. A breathy sigh fell from her lips as she turned into his touch and her eyes fluttered shut.
He watched her, memorised by her perfectly unflawed features as she welcomed his touch. He fought the urge to pull her to him and kiss her as he dropped his hand "Love, I hear you at night, you are restless" he studied her for a beat before continuing "What is going on in that pretty little head of yours?" their eyes locked. She knew she couldn't tell him. She had heard many of stories about him and her siblings. Not so good ones. Finn despised Lucien and Lucien despised Finn. How could she tell him she wanted to bring her brother back?
Forcing a smile she placed her hand over his which now rested in his lap "You don't need to be concerned about me" she told him as she stared at their joint hands before pulling away.
"I want to" he said in a near whisper.
She found herself moving closer. Her eyes flickered to his lips before back to his eyes which where staring at her with such intensity. Licking her lips she pulled away and quickly stood up "I still think this stupid protection is a waste of time, no one has attacked or even tried. I mean why would they want me, I'm just the stupid left over sister right?" with that she left the room.
He remained unmoved as he watched her go. Thinking about her comment he frowned slightly before standing up. Using his vampire hearing he listened to see where she had gone before hearing the door slam shut.
Sensing she was not alone she turned around but no one was there. Shaking her head she carried on walking before she was overcome by pain.
Her chest and head felt like they were on fire. She could feel as her magic tried to fight whatever link was holding her but the pain just kept getting stronger and stronger.
Clutching at her chest she squeezed her eyes shut before turning around to see a group of people surrounding her. Vampires. The pain was still there. She couldn't see where it was coming from. She could feel their power. A witch she thought. She lurched forward as she tried to focus her mind on the power and pain she felt before one of the vampires lunged forward ready to attack.
She snapped her fingers causing all the vampires to fall to the ground simultaneously. She found it. Across the street a woman dressed in black stood watching her. Smirking to herself she snapped her eyes in the woman's direction as pain rippled through her whole body. She squeezed her palms together as if to crush something and watched as the woman began to bleed from behind the eyes until her whole face coloured in crimson and she fell to the ground in a pool of her own blood.
Spinning around she began to walk off in the opposite direction but as she took her first step she found herself being forced back.
It all happened so fast as the person who grabbed her let out an animalistic growl, dropping his fangs as they painfully scratched at her neck. She couldn't see who it was as they held her so tight that she was unable to move. She didn't have time to think. Closing her eyes she waited for the bite that she knew was coming.
