Story Notes:
During the little whump scene in 'Chimera' Adam said something that got me thinking... "What happens here hurts here".
So I got stuck with this alternate scene to Chimera in my head and I just had to get it out. It contains spoilers!
And I usually don't write just read, so I'm probably not very good at it... please don't hate me.
It contains violence and probably more dark stuff later on... be warned!
Still trying to see where I'm going with this, so suggestions are more then welcome :)
I'm starting in the scene where Adam takes them and Nikola's chained to a wall and Helen is chained on a bench.
"Adam this doesn't accomplish anything, it's not real" Helen said with a single tear running down her face and trying to get through to him.
Before she even registered what happened Adam slapped her hard across the face.
Helen yelled in shock, Nikola immediately started yanking his chains even harder if that was possible.
"Hurts doesn't it? This is my reality, what happens here hurts here" Adam said not taking his eyes of Helen.
Helen slowly recovered from the burning sensation in her cheek and made eye contact once more, still slightly worried he might slap her again.
"You can't leave, you can't hide" Adam continued.
As soon as he finished his sentence he wondered off in thought.
"Hide…" he slowly said. Helen immediately realized that Adam started remembering more of his story .
She swallowed and looked at Nikola who also made the same realisation.
They were both starting to get slightly nervous now.
"Jekyll… Hyde" Adam softly continued while moving towards Nikola.
Nikola growled softly and looked threatening at Adam but failed to make much of an impression now that Adam was lost in thoughts.
Adam stood before Nikola and made eye contact when he said "London? Were we in London?"
Nikola tried desperately to yank his chains off the wall but they wouldn't budge.
"Yes Adam" Helen suddenly answered getting his attention away from Nikola.
"We've been friends for a long time" Adam turned and looked at her.
"Friends?" His eyes narrowed as he continued "No, no, no that's not your story".
There was a pause.
"You killed me".
Helen was visibly shocked as she heard this.
'Dear god he knows' she kept thinking.
Adam slowly approached her while continuing "Yes I see the story now, you killed me… twice… three times".
The last part came out obviously angered as all the memories fell back into place.
"You killed my daughter and then you killed me, again!" he yelled as he viciously grabbed her throat and started squeezing with all his might.
His vision blackened with anger as he thought about his deceased daughter.
Helen killed his little girl and killed him three times over, now he would get his chance on revenge.
Helen fought for air as she managed to squeeze out his name. "Adam".
"What the hell is going on in there" Will yelled as all the alarm bells went off on the system that held Helen's and Nikola's vital signs.
Henry immediately searched the computer for answers.
"I don't know man" Henry hastily said while busy typing.
"Magnus' vital signs are dropping" Will continued as he looked at her and the beeping screen next to her.
Meanwhile Nikola was going frantic and turned into his bad ass vampiric self.
"You bastard" he growled at Adam.
"Come fight me if you dare!" He pulled the chains with all his might but even his vampiric strength couldn't break those bonds.
Helen wanted to pull his hands off her throat but her bonds wouldn't give either.
"Adam please" she said softly as her vision started to blur.
'She's begging?' Adam suddenly thought.
He loosened his grip on her just a little.
Her begging gave him a warm lively feeling inside, her begging for her life made him feel alive, he felt anger and hatred and he felt... lust, lust, that was something he hadn't felt in a long time.
He smiled at this new found realisation.
He then released her throat and she immediately started coughing like crazy, trying to get in all the air that she could muster.
"You sick son of a bitch" Nikola continued behind him. "I'm gonna enjoying biting your head off".
Adam turned around to face the obvious enraged vampire. Adam showed no fear what so ever, this was his world no one could touch him here.
He truly was king of his world.
As Helen continued to cough and get her breathing steady, Adam suddenly punched Nikola hard in the gut.
Nikola did not see that blow coming and bent over in agony.
His weight only being supported by the chains that held him up.
Vampire or not Adam was definitely stronger in this world.
"Watch your tone Nikki boy" Adam softly whispered in his ear.
Nikola made eye contact with him while trying to catch his breath.
Nikola saw a glint of something evil in Adam's eyes that he has never seen before.
He didn't recognise it and it startled the usually stoic vampire.
Nikola remained quiet for now as he started contemplating what to do next, he needed to get them out fast.
"This is weird" Will said to Henry still standing next to Helen's still body.
The machines stopped beeping and Helen's life signs became normal again however her heart rate was slightly elevated.
The same with Nikola although he remained is his vampire state.
"Whatever it was, it's gone now" Will told Henry as they finally made eye contact.
"Yeah that is weird, still wish I knew how I could get them out " Henry said bothered by the fact that this thing what they were dealing with was outsmarting him.
"We've gotta keep working on it Henry" Will continued with a big sigh.
He gave Helen a final look as he turned and joined Henry on brainstorming for an idea to get them out ASAP.
"Their counting on us".
