VICTORIA'S POV

I rolled over when the light started streaming through the curtains. I felt the bed under me shift and then the light was gone. Wait a minute bed disappearing lights where am I?! I shot up in the bed that just so happened to in a corner and that I cowered into. I looked around and saw that I was on a queen size four post bed with deep red silk sheets and a really nice deep red wool blanket on it, the room itself was made of stone bricks, with a beautiful open fireplace in from of the bed, and to the left of the bed was a floor to ceiling window and there was a tall boy standing next to the window shutting the heavy drapes. I started shivering and I wasn't sure if it was because of the cold or because of the fear. I also started registering pain all over my body and my head was pounding like it had been stepped on by an elephant. I tried to ignore the pain as much as I could so I wouldn't let the weakness on to the stranger in the room.

I must've made a noise of some kind because the next thing I knew the guy was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at me. He wasn't bad looking but he still scared me. "W-why am I-I h-h-here?" I asked trying to keep the stutter out of my voice but I failed tremendously. "My family and I found you in the forest being attacked by by a pack of wolves but you had been knocked unconscious so we saved you and brought you here." He had told me with what looked like concern in his eyes. "Wh-where's m-my dog?" I asked again with the stupid stutter. "We brought him here with you but when he woke up he got restless and I didn't want him to aggravate your injuries so my younger brother Vixen took him down stairs and is keeping an eye on him. Before I forget my name is Vincent. What is your name?" He responded and I haven't sensed any threat from him so I relaxed my hunched tense posture and was able to get the stuttering to stop. "My name is Victoria thank you for saving me." I said and then winced when the pounding in my head returned.

He picked up a glass of water and two white pills off the table beside the bed and handed them to me. I took them and gave him a sceptical look. "It's asprin to help with the headache and the pain from the other injuries. We bandaged up all the major injuries and the rest were just scrapes and bruises." He said. I swallowed the water and pills then handed the glass back to him. I was going to say something else when my stomach decide to growl. He looked at me with a smirk on his face and my face was bright red from embarrassment. "Is someone hungry?" he asked me in a baby voice which made my face even redder. I nodded my head anyway and he lead down a bunch of winding twisting hallways. Eventually we came to a big room with a long table with four people sitting at it. Three guys and a girl. Before I could do anything else something small bundled into my legs. I looked down and saw my little Butterscotch. I picked him up and he started licking my face I laughed a little bit and then I sat down in the chair that Vincent had pulled out for me.

We all started eating in an uncomfortable silence. Vincent must have picked up on it because he said. "Victoria this is my family the boy sitting next to you is my younger brother Vixen (he looks 10 but he's a hundred and ten.), The guy next to me is my older brother Victor, and the two people sitting at the head of the table are my parents Vayn, and Viviana." I looked around at all of them Vayn and Viviana had caring smiles on their faces, Vixen had a smile that showed of his childlike excitement, and Victor had a look like a brooding teenager that got turned down by the girl he had a crush on which was funny because he looked to be in his twenties. "Hi i'm Victoria it's nice to meet you and thank you all for saving me from those wolves." I said with what I hoped was a friendly smile. I continued to eat with a promise from Vincent that he was going to take me to the library that they had in the house. He said he wanted to talk to me about some thing I wonder what about.

After we finished eating Vincent lead me and butterscotch to the library. When we walked in I was shocked it was a massive room full of bookshelves and had a very comfortable seating area in front of a massive fireplace. Seeing the fireplace made me realise how cold I was. I shivered a little bit. "Are you cold? If you are I can start a fire for you." He said. I nodded a little bit and he set me me down in the closest chair to the fireplace and started a fire for me. Once the fire was going well he sat down in the chair in front of mine and we just kind of studied each other for a minute. He had raven black hair, stunning blue eyes with a hint of what looked like red hidden in them, he had a pale complexion. He was wearing a tight fitting long sleeve shirt that showed off his muscles and jeans. My eyes traveled back up to his face as his slowly did the same thing. I once again noticed the pale complexion he had and I remembered the rest of his family had the same complexion.

"Victoria we need to talk about something." Vincent said in a serious tone successfully pulling me out of my thoughts. The next thing he said had me freezing in my spot and everything went black.
