{•Lynette•}

I tried turning in different alleys and backways and roads around the area and trying to shake them off.

It felt like I've been running forever.... My lungs are burning.... I can barely feel my feet.... I'm losing too much blood....

I ran down the deserted road as I felt the cars starting to gain up on me again.

"Keep running."

I felt the headlights getting closer as I continued to run as fast as I can.

"HELP!!! SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE!!!" I screamed again, holding my broken arm, hoping for someone to hear me and save me, or at least call the police.

"Keep running."

Who's voice is even talking to me!? Why is it so familiar!?

I quickly turned into another alley, hoping it'll lead me somewhere, but gasped when I came up to a dead end.

"NOOOOO!!!" I cried out as I tried finding a way out, but gasped as the lights suddenly shone on me and I spun around in horror, seeing the Trevor's car drove in with another one.

"No, please, please don't hurt me, please!!" I begged as I backed into the wall as they got down from the car, a few appearing from behind the cars.

"C'mon, girly, we're just looking for a lil fun, is all!!" One of them laughed.

"Trevor here says you're all ours!!" Zack shouted.

"Please, don't...!!! Just leave me alone... HEEEEELLLPPPP!!" I sobbed in pain, looking away as I continued screaming for help.

"That'll teach you to open your legs to anyone else, bitch!!!" Trevor snarled.

"Trevor, please, I swear, nothing happened!!!" I pleaded. "HEEEEEELLLP!!!! SOMEONE, PLEASE!!!!!"

"Once I'm done with you, I'm gonna hunt that little scrawny blonde fucker you were going out with behind my back and finish him, too!!" Trevor snarled. "Same with his shit stain brothers!!!"

"Is that so?"

A voice echoed over us and all of a sudden something landed in front of me, making me gasp and fall to the ground, my back still against the wall.

The tall figure then stood up and I gasped as I shock as I looked at him.

That blonde hair... I-Its him.....

"A-Aldous......" I mumbled, feeling relief.

He then turned and I saw his eyes.... W-Were....

I gasped in shock as bright, crimson colored eyes stared back at me.

T-Those eyes..... T-They're... From my nightmare....

"O-Oh my god...." I mumbled in shock.

"It's alright.... Just sleep for now, Lynette... I don't want you to see what happens next...." he said, waving his hand at me

Before I could even react, all of a sudden, I felt my energy drained from my body, and I whine as I felt my body collapse as it all went black.

{•Remington•}

I watched as she collapsed to the ground, unconscious, before turning to the animals who chased her.

"Whoa, where did this dude come from?" One of the men snapped.

"You dare try to harm a helpless young woman.... For your own sick, depraved needs?" the man snarled.

"You better get lost, freak, or it'll get ugly," the insect named Trevor said, his eye bandaged up and bloody.

I chuckled. "I'm afraid it already is... But for you...." I smirked evilly.

Suddenly one of them screamed as Sebastian's hand shot through one of his friend's chest, his heart in his grasp.

The scum stared in horror as he died, Sebastian then pulling his hand back before throwing him straight at the wall at full force, blood splatting all over.

He then turned before swinging his arm and slicing the throat of the man next to him, blood spraying all over him.

Emerson then jumped down from above the fire escape and landed next to another one, sword in hand and swung it with one hand, taking down two more of the men, blood splatting around him.

Sebastian then swung his claws at another one who charged at him, grabbing his jugular with his hands and ripping it out completely.

Trevor then stepped back, making me walk over and stop him as he apun around and I grabbed his shoulders.

"You're gonna regret causing Lynette nothing but pain and agony," I snarled, my vision going red.

"I-I..." He stuttered in fear.

"On top of that, you threaten my brothers as well?!" I snarled, my fangs protruding over my bottom lip.

"P-Please, man, I-I'm sorry...!" He said in complete fear.

"A bit too late for apologies, isn't it?" I scoffed, then snarled as I bit down onto his jugular, hearing him scream in pain.

It did not take long until I completely drained him dry, his screams stopping as his body went limp.

I pulled my fangs back, glaring at his now caved in face, his body now almost skeletal.

"Foul, as expected..... Enjoy Hell," I snit as I then threw his corpse aside to a pile of garbage nearby.

I stared at the dead bodies, my brothers walking over to me.

I took a deep breath as I then turned around and see Lynette on the ground, still unconscious... Blood pooling around her.....

I rushed over, kneeling next to her and holding her in my arms as I examined her wound.

Blood stained the front of her dress all over her abdomen, and was still bleeding. Her arm was broken pretty badly, in three places, and she was covered in cuts and bruises here and there. I can only imagine the internal injuries she must have sustained, especiallywith how shallow her breath was.

"Lynette.... What have they done to you?" I mumbled in horror.

"Her pulse is getting weak....." Emerson mumbled as he and Sebastian approached. "She's lost a lot of blood...."

I frowned as I softly stroked her soft cheek, looking at her with worry as I held her close.

No.... It can't end like this for her....

I then took a deep breath as I pulled my jacket sleeve up and bit into my wrist.

"Wait, don't-!!" Sebastian said in shock, Emerson even looking surprised, but it was too late.

I then pulled back and opened her mouth a little before I pressed my wound against her lips.

Sebastian sighed with a small scoff as he and Emerson watched. "You really are insane, little brother.... Have you realized what you've done to her?"

"This is the only way to heal her..." I said sternly to him.

"Maybe so... But now she'll also be bound to you.... She'll only live to feed you now," Emerson said, a small frown on his face.

I frowned, looking down at her. "At least then she won't die......"

Sebastian frowned and sighed. "There's no way you can assure that...."

I was quiet as I continued to feed Lynette my blood.

I then moved my wrist away, blood smearing her lips a little, before licking the wound on my wrist clean to heal and then pulling my sleeve down.

I watched as her injuries slowly began to heal, the wound from being stabbed stopped bleeding and closed up, and her arm slowly healed back in place.

"Will she really be okay?" Emerson asked.

Sebastian sighed. "Physically, she'll heal.... Anything else is hard to tell....."

I frowned as I slowly stroked her cheek.

"We should go, before we attract unwanted attention because of these vermin," Sebastian said. "We'll send Andrew for our things."

We both nodded as I carefully scooped her up in my arms.

"No....." Sebastian scolded me.

"If she stays here, she could be in trouble, too. They'll think she did this," I said.

"He has a point... Human officials tend to blame the victims more than the perpetrators unfortunately, " Emerson said. "Plus, she's in deep with this already.... I know it...."

Sebastian sighed with frustration.

"Please.... I can't leave her... I have a feeling she shouldn't be here," I said as I looked up at him. "That she should be with us...."

Sebastian contemplated it, and then sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Fine.... But then this human girl is your responsibility. You understand?" he said sternly.

I nodded as I looked down at her.

I then noticed Emerson staring at her curiously.

"What?" I asked.

"Now that I get a better look at her..... There's something.... Familiar.... About her...." he said, tilting her head.

I frowned as me and Sebastian looked down at her.

"How so?" Sebastian asked. "She looks like any human if you ask me."

Emerson looked on, but then shrugged. "Its probably just me thinking, I suppose...."

Sebastian sighed. "Come on..... We've been here too long, we have to disappear, before anyone find us."

We nodded as Emerson handed Sebastian his cane sword before he pulled out the powder from his jacket pocket and poured some between us.

"Please remember, this powder is not exactly cheap," Emerson sassed. "Let alone easy to make."

"Just take us home," Sebastian said sternly.

He sighed with an eye roll, and then took out his match box, lighting a match in his hand.

I looked down at Lynette and held her closer to me.

"To Obsidian...." Emerson whispered, and then dropped the match onto the powder, ignitong it, and soon the cool, colored flames engulfed us all completely.

She'll be safer there... I know it....
