First time I write about TVD! I wanted to publish this for a while. Let´s see what you think.

This takes place inmediately after Masquerade.

Masquerade

Lucy was leaving the party in a hurry after speaking with Bonnie, even though Katherine was out of the picture she wouldn´t feel safe until she was out of Mystic Falls.

She headed to the B&B to get her things and get out, she was definitely leaving tonight. She stop walking and look around, she didn´t had time to react when she felt a strong hit to the side of the head and she felt unconscious with a muffled cry.

A feminine figure silently observed the elder Salvatore drag Katherine to the tomb. She quickly debated with herself what to do next. She needed to get back before the witch woke up. After witnessing the ex lovers quick exchange of words she left. She couldn´t be seen. Yet.

Lucy`s first thought was "Ouch" when she realized she was awakening. Her head was killing her and she had something in her mouth that was bothering her. She could hear a melody being played and while it was nice it really wasn´t helping her headache.

She tried to take whatever it was that was on her mouth only to realize that she couldn´t move her arms. This finally woke her from her semi conscious state to find that she was gagged and bound to a chair.

She started to panic remembering last night events and fought with her restraints until she hear a voice that made her freeze.

"I wouldn´t do that if I were you" the voice said. Lucy looked up to find a beautiful young brunette lying in a bed streaming a guitar. She realize she was at Katherine`s room at the B&B but she had no idea who this chick was.

She try to speak to tell the bitch off but the gag wasn`t going anywhere. The younger girl left the guitar at her side and walked up to her.

"I`m going to take that off and you`ll behave. Don´t try any chanting or screaming for that matter, no one will hear you and you`ll just piss me off" she said while taking the gag.

Lucy glared at her as she try to accommodate her jaw.

"Who the hell are you?" she asked pissed. The panic was rapidly disappearing and leaving anger instead.

"I thought it was time we meet Lucy" the brunette said ignoring her question "such a pretty name" she walk with a playful air around the witch "it reminds me of Bram`s Stoker Dracula. Fitting, don't you agree?"

Well, that confirmed her suspicions. Vampire.

"I don´t know what you`re talking about" she played dumb "Who are you?" she asked again now.

"Don`t be such a kill joy" the girl said and tap her nose playfully "How about you call me Mina"

Lucy wanted to bite that finger but thought better of it. "Fine. Mina" she said sarcastically obviously not believing the girl.

She got a wide grin in response to keep the vampire`s game.

The vampire grabbed another chair and turn it around so her chest was pressed against the back of the chair and she leaned towards Lucy.

"Now, I always get confused. Was Mina the vampire or Lucy?" she said as if thinking "Wait, which one ended up dead?" she asked looking back at her. She continue not waiting a response "Never mind" she said dismissing the idea "We`ll improvise, they didn´t even had a witch" she said with a mocking tone.

Lucy was clenching her teeth in anger. She hated vampires and more so those who liked to played cat and mouse. She wanted to chant a spell to neutralize the bitch but she was still tied up and didn´t know how strong this vampire was.

The girl looked at her and pouted prettily.

"You know, I`ve been watching you since you arrived this morning and you were a lot more fun with dear old Katie"

"Well excuse me if I don´t think much of someone that has me tied up" she finally snapped.

"That`s for your own safety actually, we wouldn´t want you to do something stupid when all I want is to talk" she said to her "You know, Bennett witches have a bit of a temper from what I have seen"

"And I`m just suppose to believe that after you finished your talk you won´t kill me?"

"I give you my word that I wont hurt you" she said seriously "If we come to a mutual agreement I`m more than willing to let you go. You`ll see that when I made a deal I don´t break it"

"I`m listening"

Mina gave her a beautiful smile. She stood up again and crossed her arms.

"I saw tonight`s events and while your performance amuse me greatly I confess that it also left me in a bit of a dilemma" she said "I`m aware of that debt of yours with Katherine that you Oh so cleverly complied" Lucy gulped, she didn´t know if her actions will help her or not now "But, as so happens, Katherine has information that I very much desired and I think I speak for the both of us when I said that Katherine doesn`t give anything unwillingly"

Lucy moved uncomfortably in her seat. She could see where this was going and she didn´t like it one bit. She tried to stall it.

"Sorry but she`s probably dead by now, you`ll have to get your information elsewhere" she said not sorry at all.

"Na-uh" the vampire responded in a sing song voice "I know exactly where Katherine is and she`s very much alive but don´t worry she won´t be going anywhere for the moment" she said the last bit smiling at the look of fear that briefly pass in Lucy´s features.

"And what exactly is that you want from me?"

"Well, you have the gift of magic, now what would I want from you?" she asked rolling her eyes.

"No way, I had a debt to Katherine, I own you nothing" she said with force in every word.

"You`re right, that`s why I offer you a deal"

"And what exactly this deal means to me?"

"My protection from any vampire, including Katherine; you know very well how sought after witches are by any supernatural creature"

"Oh so, I`ll be no-ones puppet but yours right?" she said sarcastically.

"I´m being very generous here Lucy, you did after all betrayed one of my kind. You are free to deny me but then I could also take you to see Katherine, I think she`s going to be very thirsty in a few days, feral even" she said exaggerating by opening her eyes wide.

"You won´t do that" she said half secured.

Mina gave a long sigh and put the gag forcefully back in place "Hold that thought" she said while holding a finger.

She opened the door to the room and look outside "Mrs. Flowers would you mind coming inside for a second?" she asked sweetly.

Oh shit. Lucy´s blood ran cold thinking that the old lady was about to die.

"Yes dear?" Mrs. Flowers smiled at her as she watched the scene in front of her as an every day occurrence.

"Mrs. Flowers could you be a dear and stabbed Lucy here once in the stomach?" she asked looking deeply in her eyes. Lucy´s own eyes had gone wider in disbelief and fear.

Mrs. Flowers was walking to her with a butcher knife that she didn´t notice before and she was fighting harder that ever against her bounds and trying to scream.

She felt the knife deeply in her gut and realize she was crying in pain. She started to choke with the gag while coughing. She felt a hand lifting her chin, she could barely understand what was happening.

The vampire took the gag out and Lucy vaguely realized that it was bloody. Mina put a hand to the wound to apply pressure.

"Opps, the blood is almost black, that means she got your liver. You have about 20 minutes to live. If the pain gets to be too much I´ll could always take my hand away. Then you´ll be dead in 5 minutes" she ended looking from the wound to Lucy´s eyes lifting an eyebrow in question.

She couldn´t focus, she was sweating and getting very dizzy.

Mina snapped her fingers at her. She tried to look at her.

"I gave you the only option, I didn´t even threat your family and friends. I don´t enjoyed to torture and kill for fun but don´t think for another second that I´ll hesitate to get want I need. Now, again, do we have a deal?"

She could only give a jerky nod.

She expected a smug grin from the vampire but her face was void from any emotion.

"Good girl" was the only thing she said to her before biting her wrist and bringing it to Lucy´s mouth.

"Drink" she said.

Lucy didn´t know why but she thought it was important to point this out before taking the blood "You promise.. before.. that you wouldn´t hurt.. me" she said weakly.

"I didn´t" she responded "Drink" she said more insistently.

She did.

AN: I really enjoyed writing this but I want to know what you think. Should I continue?
