Author's POV
Connor seem to wait as he was about biting the only friend he'd ever had, he glanced briefly at the lady at his front, his eyes gave the briefest of emotion but it went away.
He stood confused for a moment, then lowered his head right back.
Nicholas stood paralyzed, he was no match for Connor and knows it, he felt the sharp tip of his fang pierce his skin, the sharp scent of blood rented the air,
Connor was sucking life out of him and Nicholas realize this with a strange twist of his lips, he glanced furiously at Alaina,
Do something you idiot!, he told her through telepathy, like few of the vampires who speak through telepathy, I'm one of them (fortunately) and I'm glad I could use it now. He thought grimly but if only this fool will....
"If you would just shut the fu*ck up and let me think of something to distract him, obviously my voice isn't getting to him, sh!t his barrier's too strong for me to break." Alaina sent back angrily, her ego was bruised, she was able to do it before and By God she's going to do It again or die trying, but first she has to save this fool, he should never have allowed him to get close to him.., oh yeah she knows just the best thing to do to save him.
Her nails elongated, she smirked,
Connor felt something sharp on his arm, he was distracted for a moment and that tiny moment was enough for her to free Nicholas, she moved like lighting though not as fast as Connor in one million years to come but she's an expert at deception, in a blink of an eye she and Nicholas were no where to be seen.
Connor look around confused, then he was enraged, his game has gotten away, his demon screamed in rage, his sanity has left him completely.
Alaina's POV
"Dam*n that was a close one, thank God i managed to save your ungrateful as$ " She sneered at Nicholas. But he just sat there breathing heavily, with his eyes closed.
"Darn it, the least you can say is thank you!" When he didn't answer me, I also ignored him and brought out a cigarette, I searched my pocket for a lighter and found one luckily, I was about lighting it when the fool spoke up.
"Just so you know, you could start by been nice than I might find it in me to thank you " He took in a breath.
"Shesh, you...." But he cat me off
"Look we can't stay here, we have to get going, he'll be here any dam*n time soon and it won't be good." He got up and staggered on his feet.
"But where are we going?" I asked him.
"To the palace of course" He looked at me like I was out of my mind.
"Are you nuts?, you know Connor's orders!" She said testing waters.
"Look that's the least of my worries right now, and I'm sure nobody will even want to know why you're here, not at this time though, everyone's gonna be worried about the Vampire lord, got it?, now keep quiet and let's go" He tolde obviously irritated.
Oh yes, my plan's working, even though one of the reasons I'm here is to help Connor or at least that's what they all think but I want something else, I want something more...... And I'm gonna get it.

Ava's POV
"Yum, just like always, delicious!" Jap, I mean Nil Exclaimed closing his eyes against the sweetness of what's he's eating.
I still can't believe it, I had come in earlier hoping that he'll forgive me for not coming to see him since he's been here but his first words to me made me shocked and at the same time happy, he remembers I'm his sister, he remembers everything up to the war but he doesn't remember the times he has spent with those evil people, I'm very happy because he doesn't remember the terrible times he spent there, I was so happy he even called me elder sister just like he use to,
I made him so many sweet dishes that....
"Your rice pudding is still the best Ava, I love it!" His sweet voice jolted me out of my Reverie.
"Oh yes, I know" I smiled gently at him, a thought then occurred to my mind.
"Listen, is anyone there?" I called out,
"Your highness?" A guard came in,
"Have you heard from his highness or Nicholas yet?" I asked anxiously.
"No your highness" he said looking down
"But why haven't his highness......"
"Are you talking about Father?" Nil said out of nowhere, I tried shaking my head, Does he not remember anything about the war at all?,
I smiled tightly, I signalled for the guard to leave. He left immediately.
"Don't worry, father said earlier that he was going to the neighborhood pack to get mum and that he'd be back before you know ut" He said cheerfully.
Yes, on the day the war took place Father has gone to bring mom back from her sisters pack but unexpectedly the vampires..... No he doesn't remember a thing, and I'll keep it that way at least for now.
"Look Nil, I wasn't...."
Just then I heard noises, what's happening?, is Connor back?, I better go and check.
"Stay here a while, will you sweetheart, I'll be back " I pecked him on the cheek, he was too content to stay and eat that he smiled but didn't spare me a glance.
I hurried out quickly, I was too happy, I just wanted to see Connor and be in his arms again that I nearly break into a run, but on getting outside, I saw, Nicholas and a lady but not my Connor where's Connor?.
"Hello there" Nicholas greeted me with what is obviously a fake smile.
"Where's Connor?" I asked in a Small voice.
"This is Alaina, and Alaina this is Ava, Alaina is...."
"I just asked you a question, didn't I Nicholas?, where is my husband?" I asked him in a calm but a very cold voice.
Hello guys, what do you think about this chapter, do you think Alaina is really dangerous?
