My muscles screamed in pain as I slowly regained consciousness. I blinked open my eyes to find myself in total darkness. Now what am I going to do? Wait I can use my vampire powers! Focusing hard I felt my eyes adjust to the darkness. Looking around I found myself in a cave. My hands were tied in back of me to one of the support beams.

"Maybe I can pull it?" I muttered to myself. I strained against my bonds.

Screech. Dirt tumbled into my hair. It was then that I realized I was tied to one of the main support beams.

"Now what am I going to do?" Then I remembered the dagger that was holding my hair into a bun [Kind of like how a girl can use a pencil to hold their hair up in a bun only this is a dagger.] I shook my head trying to make the dagger fall out but the sound of footsteps hitting the hard packed dirt stopped me. Luckily my dagger hadn't fallen out if my hair or my captor surely would notice it. The light from what I think was an oil lamp bathed the room in a soft glow. Then a figure stepped into the room.

A beautiful young women watched me. She had long black hair and was dressed in a black shift. Just looking I got chills. Her eyes were cold, calculating, and entirely pitch black.

"Ah hello Sabrina. So nice to meet you. You are beautiful just like your mother. But your hair and eyes are your father's. Tell me, do you know who I am? Thereon " [Was that how Thierry's real name was spelled?] was my creation after all."

But Thierry's a vampire and she'…. It clicked into my head of exactly who she was.

"Maya." I whispered softly.

"Indeed. And do you know why you are here?"

"No."

"Well you see your parents once had the notion to kill me. They were the best hunters of the night. But of course I am better. Anyway one night dear Jake and Alyssa cornered me. Alyssa sprang at me but I managed to overpower her. Then Jake stepped in he was of course quite good but he never stood a chance compared to me. I knew you had been born and how powerful you were. I decided that I would drain you dry to receive your powers. I'm afraid time is up for you Sabrina."

She crouched low and prepared to spring at me. What she didn't know was that while she had been talking I had managed to get my hands untied. And find a chunk of wood to use as a stake.

She sprung at me and I launched myself to the side. Maya smacked her head on the beam then growled at me.

"You little brat!" She lunged at me again. Instead of dodging her I pulled the stake from behind my back and held it straight in front of me. Maya literally impaled herself on it.

"I guess you had more fight in you then your parents did." And then her skin started to shrivel up. In a matter of seconds she looked like a mummy without the wrapping. I was exhausted as I made my way towards the exit. I could see the light shining threw. Then I heard, "Sabrina! Sabrina where are you?" I ran to Alex's voice.

"I'm here!" I yelled as I bolted for the exit. I heard a soft rumbling sound. I saw the day breakers standing by the exit but they weren't quite in it.

"Hurry the walls are collapsing!" James yelled.

Using a burst of my vampire speed I made it out of the cave right before the walls caved in. I slammed into Alex and he caught me as I collapsed. I heard the day breakers asking me questions but I passed out before I could answer them.

I woke up in a pale blue room with a monitor showing my heart rate. All the day breakers were strewn in various positions around the room. Looking to my left I saw Alex watching me.

"How are you feeling?"

"Like I got kidnapped, tied to a support beam in a cave, got in a fight with a vampire, ran for the exit before the walls of the cave caved in, then collapsed in arms and passed out."

At this time the other day breakers had woken up. They all snickered, and James said "Good answer." I looked at them.

"What'd I miss?" Thea got a mischievous look on her face.

"Oh just Alex having a panic attack when he realized he had found his SOULMATE!"

All the day breakers smiled at me and at Alex.

"Why are you staring at…..?" My eyes popped open as I realized they were implying that Alex and I were soul mates.

"OH!" I looked at Alex and saw the silver cord that stretched between us. He met my gaze and I knew he saw it too.

"Took you long enough to figure it out!" James teased.

I rolled my eyes. "I was slightly astonished that I am the soul mate of this insane boy." I smirked at Alex.

Alex snorted. "Oh please you are most definitely the insane one!"

"So not! No can beat you insanity wise."

We bickered back and forth for about five minutes.

"We're leaving now." Poppy said dragging James out of the room. All the day breakers slipped out of the room but Alex and I paid them no mind.

We were still bickering and apparently Alex decided he was going to shut me up. He leaned in and pressed his lips to mine cutting me off mid rant. It was short and sweet and absolutely perfect.

Alex looked at me.

"Sab are you going to stay? This is where you belong. This is home. Please don't leave!"

I looked at him and remembered how I had sworn that I'd only stay for a month. Now was the time to make my decision.

I thought for a second. Then I opened my mouth.

"You couldn't drag me away."

There it is folks...the last chapter. Short and Sweet!

I hope you all liked it and I would LOVE any reviews!
