Chap.1: A Lost Rose

I do not own anything with the Underworld series the only thing I own is Kalika and Kalika mean's a rose in Greek.

It happened so quickly that Lucian couldn't think. He was just doing his normal nightly watching of his tribe when Sabas came running back from his nightly patrol with a woman in his arms.

"What happened Sabas?" Lucian asked

"I do not know Lucian I was doing the nightly patrol and I found her on the ground." Sabas explained as they took her to the healer.

Once arrived Sabas placed her gently on the bed and the healer took over. After a few minutes of looking at her wounds.

"Poor girl, she's been beaten; cut and I wouldn't be surprised if her attacker raped her." The healer started.

"What about the scraps on her knees?" Lucian asked

"Aaawww yes, I've noticed traces of a plant that grows near here and by looking at how raw the palm of her hands are, my guess would be that she crawled her way near here." He finished explaining. "I will return I need to get some more bandages."

He then left Sabas and Lucian alone.

"You can return to your nightly patrol Sabas, I will stay and make sure she's all right and maybe find out what happened to her." Lucian said to him

Sabas left and left Lucian alone with her. Looking at her Lucian estimated her to be around 24 years-old. Her hair seemed to be shoulder length and black but they were covered in dirt and dried blood. She also seemed to be a tall and thin woman but also curvy but Lucian couldn't be sure with her ripped and baggy dress she was wearing.

He could hear her slow heartbeat and breathing, but it was her pendant that caught his eye. He went to get a closer look and reached out his hand to feel its surface when suddenly she woke up in a gasp and grabbed his hand.

He could see that she was clearly frightened and confused.

"Stay calm, you are in no danger." Lucian said softly trying to reassure the frightened woman.

"Where am I?" she asked in a low and weak voice

"You are safe from any danger my lady I can assure you."

"Please my lord save me... I know I am dying but I have so much more to live." She said in slow breathes and Lucian could hear her heart barely beating.

He took her in his arms and moved some of hair away from her neck. Just before he went to her ear and whispered softly.

"Don't be afraid, this will only hurt for a while but once the pain goes away you will have a better life." Lucian whispered

That made Kalika smile slightly and then Lucian lowered his mouth onto her neck and bit down into her flesh with those bright ice blue eyes.
