Holding the hands of the two small children tightly, there nails digging in to her skin as they clung to her with had lost every thing, there home burned to the ground, there mother and father murdered in front of there very eyes, but they was saved by the female who cried over the bodies, her pain and heart break was real as there own. The men who had come in the sun light while there mom and dad slept at there weakened by the opened there bed chamber, dug them up and killed them. They was helpless and innocent, and yet they put a stake in there hearts, a stone in there mouth, chopping their heads female came in, being held by the man who ordered the hit on the family, she was crying shaking in fear begging for her life. She was very much human, but she wasn't like them. He pushed her away,slapping her hard in the face. "Where are they?" he screamed at her, she whimpered in pain her hand taking her busied could feel the death, the evil, and also two very frightened kids hiding in the house. "Wasn't they with the mother and father?"She cried, she lied to her boyfriend's father over and over, leading him away from the family, in hope she could get to them before his wrath did, she just wasn't fast enough; she wasn't strong willed or able to move with out him watching her. He shook his head at her snatched a fist full of her hair, she yelped as he dragged her to her feet. His jaw locked, his eyes hard full of hazed anger. "You fully well know they wasn't." He gritted his teeth dropping her to the floor, she clawed away, she needed to find the children, they would die in this house if she didn't, she had failed the mother failed the father, she would not see them die also, but how, how would she get them out with so many hunters searching the house for them. The older brother held on to his younger sister tightly his hand over her mouth as she was trying with all her might not to cry, he was still, like his father a predator in waiting. No one would harm his sister why he still breathed, females was few and far, he knew at even this small age he had to protect his sister with his life. his sister was in shook, crying silently tears down her face her body trembling in fear, the horror of there parent's death would live with them for ever, scar there souls, but he couldn't let his pain and heart break over come him, he had to get out of the house. He could smell the gas as they let it pour through the house, one spark and the house and them in it would blow killing both him self and his beloved sister. they was trapped under the floor boards to there room, laying still together as men stomped over them, turning the place up and over in bid to find them. he heard the cry of the female human down stairs, she was broken scared and yet determined to save the Carpathian children, he reached out for her as the male leader struck her again across the face, he sent her an image of where they was, he knew if he was going to get them out of this alive they had to work together, Do you have a gunthe female asked, a little alarmed now as she also could smell gas It will blow the house uphe told her, she clawed away towards the door."Fine, you can die with them" the male waved his hand to the men, ordering them to leave, she begged and cried, in hope to make them believe she was scared but she was a little relived, she would have time moments before the house fully filled with gas, enough time to get the children and get them out, but she knew she wouldn't make it out, she knew the children could fly away, run as a wolf, disappear in to the shadows, but she couldn't she was mortal. As long as she could save them, it was all that mattered to her. Her boyfriends father locked the door, with that she jumped to her feet, stumbling on the stairs as she ran as fast as she could. The boy jumped from the wood his sister hanging in his arm as she was made motionless by his command. He flashed his fangs at the female, she put her hands out wary, shaking her head. "I am no harm to you, I'm trying to save you we don't have time, you have to trust me."
"It's going to be OK Damon" she sighed and looked down to him, he was holding her hand the tightest till the nail broke the skin, blood started to fill his nails. She didn't care, all she cared was to make him feel safe, she was his safe hold to the world. He looked up to her, warm brown eyes, broken and frightened meet her gaze. "I feel them," he told her. She Swallowed, her eyes looking around the woods in to the darkness. "There in a house just through the opening" she wanted to ask what opening, but as soon as they took 4 more steps, they stepped out in to an opening to a beautiful cottage. The males was already out side sensing the two Carpathian children and the female. the Prince put his hand out to warn his brothers to back down, to not frighten the children and there human. the boy meet his gaze, flashing his fangs, he went to step forward, needing to push the female and his sister behind him, but she tutted, lent down, and placed him on her back. She stood up, blood poured down to the floor, the boy pulled her arm up and ran his tongue over his finger nail marks, healing her. "Thank you Damon," she sang, giving him a kiss on his cheek, as he hissed wildly at the males. "Your have to forgive him, they have suffered through a great trauma, they do not trust any one so freely." The prince looked to the female, then down to the small girl who clung to her arm. The humans arm was bleeding, and bruised from her hold, the children was well taken care of, but the human was weak; drained,under nutrition, she had bags under her eyes, her hair a wild mess. She was in greater need for healing more then the children. The boy growled at the prince for looking at the females, he was very protective of them both. The prince looked back to the male, reaching for his mind, he would seek to kill any one who came to close. He was wild, untamable, he wasn't going to let what happened to his parents, happen to his sister and career. "Damon" he used his softest voice, trying to calm him as much as he could. The female found her self looking to him, as if she could see the notes of his tone singing in to the air. "I understand your worries and distress, but your female friend is in great need for care, she is week, hungry, in need of healing and rest, why don't you bring them in and we can speak, you know your very much safe here."
The female looked to Damon, her eyes begging and pleading him to go with the Prince. He was still in shook, he would never recover from all this, but she couldn't be the one to take care of them. She was human, and already she spent 5 days travelling the world to get them here. She been trapped in the fire, her lungs was still tick with ash and smoke, she was sickly, and haven't slept once, she didn't dare, they was being hunted. She would not fail the children again. Damon's eyes peeked to her, but he kept his eyes on the males around them,of course you can take care of us, we live like you. he was begging her, he couldn't help him self. she been like a mother to them both for the past few days, it been advent full, they been thrown together in a battle, running for there lives, and she been the one who had saved them. train after train, walking and more walking, she stole a car to drive here. She was too drained, she could no longer run. let's just speak with them, your father trusted him, so i think we should give him a chance, I will stay as long as I can, and if you both don't want to stay by this time next week, we can keep searching until you both are happy.she looked to him, he slowly pulled his gaze from the males to look at her, she waited until he looked at her. "Do we have an agreement?" she challenged him, he rolled his eyes, shutting his eyes he rested on her shoulder. 'fine, but I will kill any one who touches my females." She giggled, and started to walk forward to the Prince. "I am not your female Damon,I am simply your career for the moment until your safe." He breathed out long at her remark."Don't be silly human or not, you saved our lives meaning we are in debt to you."
She held her hand out to the Prince, he took it, her eyes spotted a female, watching from the window. "Gabriella Leah" she sang he smiled 'Mikhail Dunrinsky, the Prince of my race." She nodded, then looked to the little girl who started to claw at her arm, her eyes tearing up. 'This is the beautiful Sky Tyler." The prince lent down trying to show he was no fret, but she screeched loudly. Gabriella held her moans as the girl dragged all the skin from her arm, blood poured down her arm. 'Don't let them kill me Gabby, don't let them kill me,' she sobbed. Gabriella lent down, her legs wobbled as she had no strength left in her. The prince looked to his brother, worry filled his eyes for the female, she was weak her hear dropping her breath staggered,she was about to collapse. "Sweet heart." she said calmly, her voice soft and pleading. "No one is going to kill you, I wont let them." The girl wrapped her arms around her neck, crying loudly into her hair. Gabriella pulled her self up, but stumbled back down, she looked to the prince. She could happily just lay here and slept with them, he held his hand out to her, she took it letting him pull her up. She needed to be away from the children, needed to rest alone, every inch of her cried out for nutriment, for basic water, she nodded to him. "we seek shelter, that's all we need right now, is some where we can finally sleep, knowing we will not be killed in our sleep."He nodded holding her hand in case she fell, "Of course, we have rooms for you and the children" Damon pulled up, hissing wildly at the Prince. The two stopped and looked to him, Damon was no older then 12, his burdened heavy on his shoulder's. Protecting his sister, it was clear he had taken the female under his protection also. He would not so easily let her go now, 'We will not sleep with out her, she stays with us." Mikhail bowed his head, peeking to Gabriella. He was worried about her, she had pushed her self to much. "I would never ask you to leave your female unguarded Damon, but you must see she is very sick, she needs healing"
"then you shall do so, when my sister is sleeping, and I can watch over her while you heal her." his hisses was loud and angry, he was stiff ready to pounce, his beast ready to take down any one that so looked at him the wrong way. He knew how to kill, his father made sure he knew how to kill, keep his sister safe, if his father should die he could take his fathers roll. "Damon please calm down." She begged him, but there was no calming the beast while he was like this, he was close to the edge, his soul hanging on by a thread. The destitution of his parents, the burning of his home, having to leave his town, the world he knew, having to run for there lives. There was nothing but the females to protect,his instincts kicked in. He wasn't a child anymore, he shook his head "not until we are alone Gabriella."
