The stone door dropped behind her, once the dust cleared and the ringing in her ears stop did Kate notice she was cut off from the other "KATE!" Her father yells as he bangs on the other side "KATE ANSWER ME!" He cries desperately

"Dad I'm okay." She tells him as she touches the stone door, it furthest from the truth she is hardly okay, pulled away from her friends a town she know since she was born, her mother dying and her dad lying to being kidnapped at gun point having a crush on not just one of her family kidnapers but his half crazed brother to and to add the nice little sprinkle topping fucking vampires.

"Kate." She was brought out of her thoughts by Seth's low voice that sent her heart back to its normal pace

"Y..Yeah Seth?"

"Okay Princes listen to me is there any way to open the door from your end?" She moved a little away from the door and looked around the area for a leaver or a rope or something that says 'Hey this is how you open this fucking stone door' but sadly no

"No there's nothing." She said as she started to fiddle with her cross around her neck

"Oaky just stay calm you got your weapon?" he asked, looking down at the floor she picked it up

"Yeah I still got it." She said holding it close

"Alright now is there any other exit?"

Turning around she stood her back against the stone slab as she looked around the room, it was brightly lit room and beautiful covered in trinkets in the middle of the room was a large four poster bed with red, yellow and Orange fabric handing over the frames, the bed itself was covered in silk and she couldn't be sure but a couple of fur blankets half draped over the bed "Kate?" Came her father's voice again, she jumped for a second

"Give me a minute." She said as she looked around the room more closely, she pulled a hanging cloth out the way and looked at an old dusty, cobwebbed door. Walking back to the stone door "I found a door but it doesn't look like it's been open in god knows how long."

"Kate!" Her father said, she sighed at the warning tone in her voice for using the lord's name in such a way at this point she couldn't give two rat's arses about it

"I don't think it will open from me end." She said, ignoring her father

"Is there anyone in the room with you?" Sex Machine added

"No." Kate said

"Okay princes we will see if we can find another away in, just keep safe." She rolled her eyes but answered him none the less

"Yea okay, hurry."

Kate stood in the room shivering slightly as she looked around the blood on her from those vampire stripers started to dry on her clothes and skin. She walked over to the mirror and stood there looking at herself she sighed and rubbing her eyes trying to shake off her tiredness before she looked back at her reflection Kate didn't recognised herself any more it's only been what two days since Seth and Richie to them hostage and she already felt that she aged 100 years. She closed her eyes for a moment to clear her head when he felt a pair of hands on her hips, her eyes flew open in a flash and she jumped spinning around to face Richie "Oh god Richie you're okay?" She smiled hugging him, he had a small smile on his lips as he warped his arms around her

"You okay?" He asked her, pulling back Kate blushed at herself and looked up into his face Richie frowned as he reached out and touched the drying blood on her face "Are you?" He asked

"Y…Yes just vampire striper blood." She smiled weakly "Seth will be so happy to know your o…kay." She said stopping as she looked at him properly.

There was a hole in his shirt where the bullet exited Kate could see the blood that seeped into the cotton of his shirt, she took a step back from Richie shaking her head "No not you're to." She said

"Kate…" He started as he reached out to her she pulled up the crossbow and pointed it at him

"You let her bite you?" She said shaking

"Kate put the crossbow down and we can talk." He said as he shifted closer to Kate only for the dark hair girl to raise the bow higher

"Talk? Oh yeah nice little chat before you drink me dry!" Kate yelled as she felt the pin prick in her eyes as they burned with tears she felt foolish as she looked at him as he held up his hands in defences gone was the hole in his hand nothing but smooth skin of hands. Those hands that where touching her earlier

"No I won't harm you Kate nothing will hurt you as long as your with me." He said softly to her as he reached out to her

"How can I believe that?" She told him her hands startling to tremble as tears started rolling down her cheeks

"I remember our kiss." He whispered as he kept in front of her, Kate's eyes widen as she blushed at the memory of a little while ago the two of them alone in a booth, Kate touched her lips and then moved her hand back to the cross boy

"I…It was a moment of weakness." She said as she as she back up against the stone door.

Richie moved closer to her and took the crossbow out of Kate's hands and placed it on the small table, the teen closed her eyes waiting for him to sink his teeth into her neck but instead he touched Kate's cheek softly "Kate." He whispered her name as Kate open her eyes and looked up at him. Richie brushed his hands over soft skin moving up to move her hair behind his ears and leaned down and kissed Kate on the lips.

Soft moans left her lips as her hands gripped into his suit jacket, the dark hair man pulled back and looked down at her his hand's still cupping Kate's cheeks. Richie looked into her green eyes and sighed as he leaned down and kissed her forehead "I would never be any good for you." He told her as he held Kate in his arms, still trembling Kate held into him trying to hear a heart beat in his chest but found nothing "I'm not the type of man someone like you should fall for." He told her

"Richie."

"I can give you a moment if you wish?" She looked up at him and blinked into his dark eyes

"A moment?"

"To remember, I promises I won't bite you." She didn't want to believe him and she didn't want to trust him but she found herself kissing him again. He moved his hands and scooped Kate up and carried her over to the bed "Just forget about the world for now Kate." He tells her as he gently places her on the bed.

It was a little while later before Seth, Jacob and Sex Machine found Kate, she was sat on the floor her back against the stone door holding her crossbow "Kate." Jacob said as he moved quickly over to her, she stood up and warped her arms around him

"I'm okay dad, no one came in here." Kate said looking up at him, he frowned as he started to look at her to make sure there was no cuts, bruises or even bites

"No one came in here?" Seth asked as he spotted a pair of glasses on the bed, he looked around the room and just saw them four none of the others were watching him as he picked up the glasses and put them in his pocket

"No, no one came in here." She said watching the other brother. Kate looked at him as he looked back at her their eye's met, Seth knew she was lying but it wasn't the time to call her out on it as he curled his fingers around the glasses in his pocket

"Well alright Princes, if your fine and dandy let's go looking for your brother and mine." He said turning around heading for the door.
