"Why you doing this?", a voice cried.
"This is for us, my lovely brother."
As I heard these voices, I assumed it to be Michael and his brother. I stood closer to the door to hear their conversation more clearly.
"Why are you torturing that young girl?",cried Michael.
"Isn't it a bonus offer, I don't have to look for a virgin girl and a werewolf to sacrifice.", this was Klaus.
"True love never fails. You'll never succeed in gaining the power. Just like in the past,all your effort will go in vain, you better mark my words."
"You speak a lot my dear brother. It seems you need to be taught again that how to talk to your elders",said Klaus.
"Ahhhh", screamed Michael.
I could hear the clanking of the chains.
He was being hit by his brother. He was screaming which slowly turned into groaning. This was not right. This had to stop.
"Stop, stop hitting him", I shouted.
"You have a great fan following, Michael", said Klaus.
But he didn't stop and kept hitting.
"For God damn sake stop hitting him, he is your brother!"
There was an awkward silence. And suddenly the door slammed against the wall and I fell on the floor, hitting myself on the head. Klaus entered, his eyes completely red and his fists closed tightly in anger.
"It seems you care a lot about my brother, so why don't you hand over the stone to me and save him", shouted he.
"Don't even think about it",yelled Michael from the other side.
Klaus called one of his men and ordered,
"Cover his entire body with silver chains and keep him in the sunlight to burn."
"Wait. What? Are you insane? Silver chains...are you planning to kill him?", I asked angrily.
" I ain't killing him but you are", saying this he left the room and took Michael along. Although he was in utter pain he kept saying, "Don't give into. Protect the stone."

I couldn't understand that whom to make my priority, the stone or the people who are being tortured for this stone. If I don't give him the stone he'll slowly hurt the people whom I am close to and if I hand over this stone to him initially we all die. None of us would be spared. I kept racking my brain but couldn't think of something.
I was completely in hot water.

It was by evening that my door opened and few men along with a women entered.
Without saying a word they grabbed my hand and took me along with them.
"Where are you taking me?",I kept asking but none replied.
We passed through a long dark room and then reaching the basement we entered a place which looked like a cave through which we entered a giant hall. Giant because it was actually too big. A big royal kind of sofa with long back of red color was kept on a wooden platform near the window and two smaller sofas one at each side. A giant gate opened and Klaus along with his men entered.
From the other gate, a man wrapped with chains all over was brought into the hall, it was Michael. I couldn't believe my eyes, he was bleeding. I looked at Klaus and he gave me the most wicked smile that I had ever seen. What kind of creature he was who had no feelings for others even for his own brother.
"Do you know that why you are brought here?", asked Klaus.
"To torture until the time I hand over the stone to you", I said obnoxiously.
Giving a beastly smile he pointed his finger to the opposite direction from where I was standing. Looking at which I found my aunt lying in a coffin.
"Aunt Marie", I shouted.
"Ah ha, Don't worry she is still alive. Actually we could not understand as to where to keep her comfortably but thank goodness we found a bed for her that actually fit her", said Klaus nastily.
"Are you trying to scare me?", I shouted at him.
"Oh how can I dare to do such a thing! Take it as a warning. Now she is alive but who knows later she could..."
"Keep your dirty mouth shut. Don't even think of touching her", I had lost all my senses by now. If I try to save one thing the other is in danger.
The door opened again and a strange figure fully covered in black appeared. The moment he entered everyone in the room lowered their heads in respect. Klaus kissed his hands and whispered something in his ears that made him look in my direction. He came and stood next to me and like a dog smelled me from head to bottom. And then took out a small container out and poured the liquid in circle around me which automatically turned from white to dark red.
"What are you doing?", I asked in fear.
Like a psychopath he kept doing what he wanted to without saying a word.
Klaus came near and on seeing the color of liquid he looked at me with shock. I couldn't understand what was going on.
"This is impossible", he gasped.
"What, what is it?", I asked restlessly.
He returned back near his throne and hit one of his men in anger. He shouted and behaved like a mad person. His behavior gave me goosebumps all over my body.
And all of sudden the door opened and a pack of wolves filled the room. A hand grabbed me from my waist from behind and took me into the arms, it was Jason.
I had never felt so relieved before that I felt that very moment. He took me and jumped from the window and with his speed we were in the woods. Tears blured my vision. I had never been so happy before as I was now on seeing him. We kept on going until we reached a spot that was far from that scary place. As he settled me down I shouted, " Jason, Aunt Marie! We forgot about her. She is with them. We have to save her."
He took a hold of me and said," She's dead."
I couldn't believe his words. I lost control and started backing him away.
"No, I saw her lying there. You are mistaken, he said that she was alive."
"Katherine get hold of yourself, Aunt Marie is dead. He was fooling you around to get the stone", each word that came out of this mouth tore my heart in peices.
"No, you are wrong. You are lying. You don't wanna go its ok but I'll go and get my aunt back", saying this I ran from there.
He ran after me and grabbed my hand and pulled me towards himself and held me firmly.
"Let go of me", I screamed.
But he didn't move and held me tightly. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I hugged Jason tightly. I only had him on whom I could rely now here.
It was thundering and lightening. It was about to rain so we sat under a large tree.
My head on his shoulders amd his arms wrapped around me. His warm hug put me at ease but I could not understand that how and why did I came across such creatures. I'm glad that I found Jason but the darkest side of this world is really dangerous.
"Are you ok now?", asked he.
I just nodded my head, I wasn't in a state to say anything. All i wondered was that how will we get out of this mess. In a single moment my life had turned upside down.

"Do you know anything about that color changing liquid thing?", I asked all of sudden.
He looked at me and nodded.
"Tell me!"
"When someone has the moonstone the liquid shows no change in color but when the liquid changes into red it means that the person is only carrying a peice of it and with just a peice he would not be able to gain all the powers that he is yearning for."
"Where is the rest of it?", I asked.
He glared at me and then took out a big shining stone out from his pockets. I took out the stone from my bracelet and placed the peice near the rest of the stone and to my surprise it got merged with into the big stone and it shone brightly under the dark sky. He kept the stone in my hands and wrapped my fingers around it.
"What are you doing?", I asked confuse.
"Do you know that when does a werewolf gives this stone to someone?", he asked.
I looked at him with a confused face. He chuckled and said,

"Since I met you, I have noticed that life is worth living. Each day is more wonderful than the previous one, if I spend it with you. I get this warm feeling every time I think of you. When I sleep at night, all I dream about is you. I long to see your face and to hear your voice. From the moment I first met you, I knew that I wanted you in my life.
Nobody has ever made me feel the way you make me feel, and that is such a crazy feeling. All I know is that I want to grab you and be in your arms forever and forever and never let go. I want to kiss your lips and never stop--just keep on going. I love you; I want you; I need you!
I don't know if you even think about me but you make my heart pound so fast that it's hard to catch my breath. When I think of us getting together, I get goose bumps all over. You're all I think about now. I've never had a love like this before or felt this way. I want to be with you forever."

That very moment I thought to myself that he's like nobody else in the world. When I'm with him, its like I'm spliting in half.
One half of me on fire and the other half calm and just perfectly content, knowing he was the one for me. And the words came out through my mouth saying,
" I LOVE YOU!"
He pulled me towards him and His lips brushed mine. Not innocently, like a tease but hot, fiery, passionate and demanding. I wanted to pull away before I lose myself but I can't seem to...In this minty moment, my senses had been seduced and I could no longer think straight. "Katherine" he whispered slowly, prolonging each letter as if to savor them. I smileed, my heart fluttering at his voice as I clasped my hands on either side of his face. Never before has my name ever felt so wonderful a one, I thought, as I leaned in for another.
