Sky was pushed to sleep by Damon's command, she was 6 her mind broken, young and easy to control. Gabriella pulls the cover up her pressing her lips on the young Carpathian female's cheek, she pulls back up and looks down to Damon, she smiles tiredly at him sighing long and hard
"I know your worried and frightened Damon, but you need to back off a little they are trying to help us."
he shakes his head and held his hand out to her, she rolls her eyes she wasn't used to the Carpathian ways, it was new to her, but she wasn't about to let a little kid tell her what to do, she was the one who protecting the children it was her job not his, he blanks and ignores her thoughts and moves towards her and snatches her hand. "You need healing so lets get this over with, I need you both sleeping so I can watch over you both."
She let him have his wish, what harm would it do letting him think he was the one in charge and the one who protecting them, if it brought him small peace over his father and mothers horrid deaths then it would be worth it.
"Ok Damon, I'm coming" he pulls her out into the seating room, the males stood outside, it was clear to Gabriella they didn't wish to upset the boy anymore then he was, they felt his anger and felt his mind were hazed red. There was no pleading or talking the boy down, he is a beast the boy gone.
The Prince stood holding his lifemates hand, she is standing behind him peeking out from around him, taking in the young female being pulled into the room by the boy, she is 16 by her making, human with gifts just like herself before she turned.
"Damon please" she begs. He turns to look at her for a moment, she is out of breath and red faced sweat on her forehead, the one thing the boy didn't have because of his small age was the ability to take care of any one other then his sister, Gabriella's human needs hadn't been met, he simply forgot, protecting her was his only concern.
"slow down, I have human legs remember" she mocks with a smile. She wanted nothing more than to cry. To climb into a bed with her favorite PJs on but she was no where near her home, her mother would think she had died in the fire, her boyfriend's father would make sure they knew she was dead. She didn't know if to be revealed or to break down, she loved her mother and her home. Like Damon and Sky she also had her whole world ripped away from her,
sleep she thought out loud,
Once your healed you can sleep he tells her softly, as softly as one could on the brim of losing their soul. They both looked back to the prince.
"This is Gregori" Mikhail waves to the other male in the room. His eyes was ice cold and death was in them, beauty like no other. His eyes remain on the boy the whole time, listing to his thoughts, feeling and his emotions, ready to immobilize him should the need be, Gabriella turns her head away unable to look into his eyes, feeling her panic Damon stepped in-front of her, and for once she let him.
"He is one of the greatest healers of our people and will help Gabriella as best as he can."
Damon looks to the prince and nodded, Mikhail felt Raven's body relax with little relief, the boy wasn't about to try and kill her lifemate, Damon looks to the male Gregori, the healer, the dark one no one was equal to him, not his father not any male alive, strength clung to him like a second skin, also great evil, but he felt his mind, he seeks to protect the boy and his sister, Carpathian children was a rare gem to their race, more so a female and a great power like Damon, he knew Damon was something more then he looked, maybe he would be something remarkable, a one of a-kind just like him self.
"I a sure you, I will do more then my best, I will heal your female to full health, my ability's are not with out their plus sides in matters of humans"he took a step forward, the boy flashed his fangs at him, hissing wildly not afraid of the 'dark one' he wasn't with out his own ability's after all.
"but to heal her, I need to touch her Damon, your father must of told you about me, about your prince and what we stand for?" he asked.
Damon blinks, two black eyes danced into flames of red "I am not worried about me, she is human I will not have you feed from her she isn't part of your laws."
Gregori waved his hand to the female clinging on to her lifemates arm, Damon didn't look ."this is Raven, she too was once a human, we do not harm humans Damon" he placed his hand back down, "we believe all life Carpathian, animals and human alike are precious to us."
Gabriella's legs went weak, she sways and falls to her knees her hands stopping her fall. She looks down to the floor, breathing in deep and slow trying to stop her self from passing out. Damon turns slowly taking his eyes from the 'dark one.' he rushs to her side but she waves him away as he tired to help her up.
"I'm fine, I just need a moment" she was out of breath, her heart was weak, her lungs not getting enough air, she was on her last beat, if some one didn't save her she would be gone, and Damon knew he wouldn't be able to cope with out her, he needed her.
"OK" Damon said, he turns back to Gregori, "but I wont leave her side." Gregori moved to help her stand, Damon couldn't help his hisses, he couldn't stand to watch him touch her, she was weak and vulnerable, she needed him to protect her, it went against every instinct he felt as he watches Gregori pulled her in to his arms, she hug like a rag doll her head flopping around on her neck, his eyes wide, his fangs flashing as he snarled helplessly as Gregori placed her down on the settee.
"Damon I'm OK settle down." She begs Damon as Gregori pulls off her jacket.
"he can not control him self Gabriella" Gregori tells her as he pulls a blanket up her body tucking it up and around by her chin, showing Damon he wasn't even going to touch any part of her skin "he is lost under the beast within him, he is more beast then boy right now, he needs to heal his soul."
she turns to look at Damon, he was in a stance ready to jump, to fight Gregori till his dying breath. "Damon" she whispers, he looks to her his body snapping up. "I'm OK, Gregori isn't going to touch me or harm me, it's all going to be OK." but Gregori was right nothing mattered, nothing worked, Damon needed her and his sister well and safe before he was calm again.
she breaths out and looks to Gregori. "try and remain still now" she nods, with that he shut his eyes laying his palms over her belly inches away from touching her, he filled her with warm heat and she felt it in every cell of her, from her fingers to her toes. She been in this world in less then a month, she knew little of the ways of the Carpathian people, she seen vampires and she been at the hands of one because of her boyfriend being knees deep in hunters, she was in run with hunters killing Carpathian's but she didn't understand it and questioned it. Once she found out the truth she seeked to save the family she'd been told was on the hit list, and now she protecting them and staying in the home of the prince, she'd been thrown in the deep end.
Once Gregori pulled back he moves away, not saying a word as he watches Damon run to her taking her hand tightly but this time taking care not to hurt her, he didn't want that man to have to heal her again.
'"lets get you bed" she whispered to him.
Mikhail waited until Damon shut the door before he turned toward Gregori, Raven moved to the chair falling onto it as if drained emotionally from the minds of the three, their thoughts was all over the place. The anger and the horror of the death of the parents, the hazed killing mind of the boy, the broken mind of the young girl, and the female so confused so frightened, "what a night" Raven breathes out "I feel so much pain for them all, it's just such a mess, the poor boy."
Mikhail looked to his wife "he will be fine, he just needs time" he turned back to Gregori "you believe she is his life mate?"
Gregori nods once "his soul is on its breaking point, once he is of age he will be fine."
Raven sat up then "you're telling me, a 12 year old boy knows who his life mate is?"
Gregori shook his head "he is too young to understand such things, he is just running on his wild male instincts far to young to control them."
she sighs long and hard, they all knew the human female wasn't going to take to this, he was younger then her, she was going to keep ageing.
Gregori heard her thoughts "he has feed her blood, I believe it wont be long until he feeds her enough till she turns."
Raven looked to Mikhail, not liking this one bit, they was both too young, both children. "he is lost Raven" Mikhail adds to her thoughts, "the boy is gone he is just going to protect the females."
