*** A/N. Hey! Thank you so much for reading my story, I am noticing more and more hits everyday which is great. Well here is chapter seven. I hope you enjoy it, it's only a shorty.  See you on the flip side ***

** Nicholai POV **

The sight of her as she came out of the bathroom. Her long black hair flowing down her back, still wet from her bath, had an effect on me I could not control. Lust rushed through my veins, mixed with something else, something deeper and more meaningful. She was beautiful, mezmerizing. The moment she looked up, her piercing blue eyes set on my black ones, like the ocean merging with the nights sky. My dead heart overtook my calculated mind as I stalked her, seeing the fear and lust in her eyes. I ghosted to her and pinned her against the wall, leaving her no escape. I needed her. I wanted her like no other woman or Vampire I had ever wanted before. She had a magnetic pull on my heart, making it feel alive. I had forgotten how it felt to be alive. She pumped life into my heart, into my empty soul, into my frozen body and into my mind, the mind of a monster. I leant into her, bracing myself for her touch, for the feeling of her soft lips on mine. Words spluttered from my mouth, making no sense, just needing her to hear how I felt. I breathed her name and pressed my lips against her soft mouth. Small moans escaped my lips as they merged with hers. I held the back of her head with my hand, pulling at her wet hair gently. I wrapped my other hand around her small waist, pulling her into me. I pulled her lips apart with mine, my tongue desperately craving entrance into her mouth.

** Madison POV **

Oh my god! I was kissing Nicholai. His beautiful, blood red lips were carressing my own. But he was a Vampire. He had kidnapped me...but I didn't care. This beautiful Vampire wanted me, and who was I to deny him, for I wanted him right back. His mouth pushed against mine, opening my lips as his tongue darted into my mouth, licking the inside of my lips. My tongue responded and rolled out into his mouth. He tasted sweet, like sugar and fruit and chocolate. I began ravenously attacking his mouth with force, crashing my lips against his. My tongue danced with his and I sucked his bottom lip, desperate to taste every part of his delicious mouth. I clung to him, wrapping my arms around his body, pulling him impossibly closer to me. His body was hard and muscular. I expected his skin to be cold, like ice, like a corpse, but it was surprisingly warm. His phone rang, interrupting us from our passionate embrace. He pulled away from me, reluctantly I could tell. He reached into his pocket and pulled it out looking at the screen. His brow furrowed and he groaned in response to the name on the display. He pressed the answer button and pulled himself further away from me, leaving me feeling lost without his touch.

“Hello.” He spoke into his phone. “Yes...no, not yet...I don't know...okay...goodbye.” He shoved the phone back into his trouser pocket and moved towards me once again. His face looked worried, like he wore the weight of the world on his shoulders. His evasive answers did not give me any clue as to the nature of the phone call or to whom he had spoken to, but I assumed it wasn't good news.

“Everything okay?” I asked. “Hey, do you have my phone? I remember it ringing just before you... knocked me out.” I didn't give him chance to answer my first question, his phone call jogging the memory of my own missing phone.

“No. I left it in the car.” He replied vaguely, his thoughts elsewhere.

“Oh...”

“We have to leave.” Anger spoiled his beautiful features as he glared at me. I didn't understand what had happened between our kiss and the phone call, his Jeckyll and Hyde act coming into play again.

“Why?” I asked, meekly. I did not look forward to the answer.

“We need to get to Romania, more hunters will come for you Madison. It is not safe here.”

“Oh and it's safe for me in Romania? Where I will be killed anyway. I would rather stay here and take my chances with the unknown than stroll right into a death trap.” I began to shake, the all familiar panic threatening to seep through my pores.

“Madison...” He stepped towards me holding out his arms.

“NO! Stay away from me.” I backed away from him slowly. “Don't... touch... me.”

“Mads...please.” He edged closer towards me.

“No.” The damn tears that had become my closest companion of late once again brimmed in my eyes. “You told me you wanted me. You told me you...cared.” My voice broke on the last word as my eyes became blurred with the incessant tears that now fell freely down my face. I slid down the wall I was now standing against again and crumbled to the floor. I held my face in my hands and curled my knees up under my chin, wrapping myself into a small cacoon.

“I do care...” His voice was so quiet I struggled to hear what he said.

I didn't move from my spot on the floor, wishing I was far away from this room, from this monster. I craved the warmth of my mothers hold, she always knew how to make things better. I missed her.

“You're a liar... You don't... care. If you did you wouldn't be taking me to that... place, to...d... die.” I struggled to speak, my voice cracking with the force of my sobs.

I sat there for a long time, sobbing into my hands. After some time I noticed he had not spoken for a while. Not since he'd said he cared. I looked up, my sobs finally dissipating. The room was empty. Nicholai was... gone.

*** A/N. Hey all! Well well well, a nice smoochy for you all there! Sooo what are you thinking of Nics disappearance? Will he come back? Will he take Madison to Romania? And will Madison get home? Please comment and vote...let me know what YOU want to happen. I will always take readers comments and suggestions into consideration but I can't do that if you don't. I will try and upload chapter eight by the weekend. Toodles ***
