I know it's been a long time since I wrote anything and I hope this story will make up for my absence…:P. I don't know how long it will be, but I can promise there will be at least four chapters. I will probably upload them really slow, because I will soon start school and I still have homework to do, but anyway…enough about me! Enjoy:D!

Oh, one more thing: this chapter is short, I know, but it was the perfect spot to end it…for a cliffie;). Yes, I am being evil again:).

As usually, I don't own anything Sanctuary.

Nikola was standing in front of the Sanctuary door, getting himself ready for what he hoped to be a very interesting night with Helen. He had received a bottle of wine that morning and a note saying "This is just the beginning". The note wasn't signed and it was computer written, but he never thought that somebody else than Helen had sent it to him. So there he was, in front of the Sanctuary, with the bottle of wine in his hands and a single red rose, when Kate opened.

"Hi Fang Boy!" the annoying girl said and Nikola almost growled when he heard that ridiculous name.

"Where is she?" he asked. His plans for a romantic evening were ruined by the fact that they were still at the Sanctuary.

"Nikola…" Helen said, appearing from nowhere. "What happened?"

He gasped when he saw her. She was wearing a leather jacket and a short skirt, all black, which complimented her dark curls perfectly. However, the look on her face was not exactly what Nikola had expected…

"Come on, my dear Helen, are you going to deny that little invitation you sent me?" he said, still hoping that he hadn't make a mistake by coming.

"What invitation?"

"I have proof, so denying is useless." He said, handing her the note.

"You thought that I sent you this?" Helen asked, half amused and half worried.

"You didn't?"

"No." Helen said in the most sincere voice. "Nikola is this one of your tricks?"

"Of course not."

"Well, it seems we got ourselves a mystery then. Come in. We'll find out who your secret admirer is."

With a proud grin, he listened to her and entered. He passed the rose over her lips, making her gasp. "Maybe you didn't send this to me, but is it too much if I ask for a welcome kiss from you?"

"1943 wine? I have to say, your secret admirer has good tastes." Helen said pointing to Nikola's bottle of wine.

"Are you jealous?" he asked with a smirk.

"So, as I was saying…" Helen said, avoiding the answer, "… are you sure this is wine?"

"I didn't open the bottle, Helen."

"Who could send you this?" Henry asked. "It seems romantic and, well, don't take it personally, but you are not much of a ladies' man from what I've heard."

"Look who's talking, Tiny Tim." Nikola said angrily. "I may not be a ladies' man, but at least the most beautiful woman in the world has a major crush on me."

"It seems to be wine, Nikola." Helen said, watching the bottle. She was grateful that everybody was too intrigued about Nikola's gift to see that her cheeks were almost the color of wine after Nikola's last words.

"Well then, I don't care who sent it to me, but we shouldn't let it go to waste. What do you say? Me, you, your office, that bottle of wine? Getting you drunk would be…interesting."

"I don't think so." Helen said, ignoring the fact that her mind was starting to get lost into gutter.

Nikola scoffed and opened the bottle, pouring himself a glass of the liquid inside it. Meanwhile, Helen took the note Nikola had received and took a look at it.

This is just the beginning… "It sounds a little too…cheeky don't you think?" she said, starting to get annoyed. The idea that somebody was sending letters, love letters to Nikola made her a little irritated, if not jealous. But she couldn't be jealous, because Nikola was only a friend, nothing more, so...

"I don't know. I kinda like it." Nikola said. "I can't blame the girl who sent this to me. After all, I am… irresistible, don't you think?" He whispered the last part of the sentence in Helen's ear, getting his lips a lot closer to hers than it was necessary.

"It seems to be something else written here." Helen said, trying her best to look at the letter and not at those unfairly tempting lips. "Henry could you get me an UV lamp?"

"What you think somebody sent Magneto a hidden message?"

"Just do it, alright?"

Without further ado, Henry left. Working with Helen had taught him that sometimes you just had to do what you were told, without asking any questions.

Taking a sip of wine, Nikola approached Helen and handed her the note. He watched her as she passed the UV light over the letter. The horrified look on her face told everything.

"Henry, start level 5 lockdown. Nobody gets in or out." She said after she finished reading. "Everybody else, get to the decontamination room. NOW!"

"Threat level "holy crap"." Henry said. "Got it."

"Actually, Henry, I think this is threat level "bloody hell"." Kate said, pointing at the letter. The UV light had revealed a hand written message: enjoy your wine, Helen. This is the last one you'll ever drink. The light had also revealed the fact that phosphorescent organisms were swarming on the note…and on both Helen's and Nikola's hands.
