AN: Woot! Since y'all like Ariel, I've written more. Figured I'd start with her coming to the Sanctuary. I think the main characters will be Ariel, Henry, and Nikola. Of course, the others will show up and whatnot. Also, this is set in Season Three, but before the Hollow Earth Arc…

Hope you enjoy!


She needed help.

Otherwise, she'd die.

There was only one place she could go, one place that could take her in.

Henry wanted to run some tests out in the courtyard, only because he didn't want anything to get blown up in the lab. He needed some space that didn't have any expensive equipment.

And the ex-vampire had decided he wanted to come with.

Great.

"Honestly, Tiny Tim, I don't understand why you insist on doing this outside."

Henry glared at Tesla and shifted his hold on the drone. He was doing it outside incase bad things happened with the remote piloting, thus resulting in the drone crashing and burning. But he wasn't going to explain that to the skinny egomaniac. Instead he said, "Would you mind getting the door?"

Tesla stared at him in mock indignation. "Do I look like a servant, child? Does this suit say 'butler'? I don't think so. But since you have your hands full of a fun new weapon, I suppose I'll help in the menial tasks." He quickened his pace a half-step and opened the door. However, the doorway wasn't empty. A woman, maybe a year younger than Henry, was standing in the threshold. Despite it being late summer, her lips were blue and her skin had more than just a hint of the cool color. She was shaking violently and her teeth were chattering.

"H-h-h-help…m-m-me. Pl-please." Her legs gave way and Tesla caught her. He pulled her inside and looked at Henry.

"I think play time is going to have to wait."


AN: This is the prologue. That's why it's short. More shall come, and thanks for reading!
