"There." She murmured as all the siblings gathered around the cart they had thought was empty.
It seemed someone, a very nervous someone, thought they could hide from the vampires.
'Whoever it is, they clearly aren't very bright' Astrid thought in amusement.
Nodding appreciatively at Astrid, Elijah bent down before swiftly lifting up the blanket by the side, flinging it over his shoulder, revealing a young man.
Surprised and clearly terrified that he had been discovered, the dark-haired man had attempted to flee, skirting around Elijah only to be stopped by an interested Rebekah and an amused Kol.
Raising a brow, Astrid peered up at her husband, her hand still intertwined with his.
How had they missed the heartbeat in the first place? Well, she supposed they were still learning to use all their vampiric powers and had been terribly parched before they had feasted on their six victims.
Eyeing the man up and down, Rebekah grinned, looking like the cat who had caught the canary.
"Well aren't you a handsome one?" She purred in an overly sugary tone.
Taking in his physical appearance, Astrid quickly came to the conclusion that the man wasn't related to the group they had killed.
While the six people had been wearing finery and silk, the young man was wearing clothing of a peasant, his tunic plain and made of cheap material.
Dark eyes dancing with a worrying mischief, Kol smirked.
"Looks like dessert to me." He chimed, eyes flashing up to meet Astrid's as he sent her a wink, something which was luckily missed by Nik.
Stalking towards the human with the intent of snapping his neck, or draining him dry, Kol paused in amusement when Lucien jolted back, holding his hands out defensively.
"Wait, wait, wait! I can help you!" Lucien begged, wild eyes flickering over all the siblings and Astrid.
Finn raised a brow, but decided not to intervene, instead settling on watching on the side-line, wondering how the situation would play out.
Knowing he had caught the demons' attention, Lucien gulped.
Lucien's legs trembled, threatening to give out beneath him, he was evidently horrified.
Astrid almost felt bad for him, almost.
Curious on how he thought he could help them, Astrid licked her lips.
"And how can you help us, Sir?" She asked sweetly, lashes fluttering as the servant's flushed, his gaze darting to the ground when he noticed her hand intertwined with Nik's.
