Chapter 7

He was going to kill them! He couldn't take it anymore. Nikola ran his fingers through his hair, listening to the music that was coming from the hallway. Damn song had a catchy tune but the lyrics did nothing to ease his mind. Same with the song before that and the one before that, he was starting to regret the radio invention. He looked down at his watch; it had been three hours since the last time he spoke with Helen.

Oh I had a lot to say, was thinking on my time away

I missed you and things weren't the same

'Cause everything inside it never comes out right

"HEINRICH!" Nikola shouted as the door flew open and the vampire went on the search for the blasted radio or the owner. He was not going to kill anyone he needed to him save Helen…well not to save her but to take a few bullets. He was tired of being shot; it didn't feel good even if it did heal. Nikola round the corner heading to the HAP's lab, "Hein-,"Nikola stared at the dark head girl that sat in Henry's seat.

"Henry went out to get me some food." Erika said smiling. "Sorry was the music to loud?" Nikola stared Henry had a girlfriend? A pretty and pregnant one at that. "I'm Erika."

Nikola smiled, "I'm Nikola Tesla…and yes the music was too loud." He looked the girl over yes she was very pretty but she was no Helen. 'Damn it' He thought to him-self, "Have Henry come see me when he get back." He walked out.

He had found away way to mix a chemical in with wine that gave him a short lived buzz. He was so busy staring at the tracking beacon he forgot to go test the wine that had this special ingredient to it.

Henry cautiously walked into the lad the vampire had been using for the last few days. "Ah Tesla?" he said looking around.

Nikola's head perked up as he but a test tube of liquid into a bottle of wine. Nikola smiled "I met a quite lovely creature about thirty minutes ago." Nikola said sealing the bottle to let new brew settle. "Good job."

Henry smiled "Yeah she's great I know." Henry notice the quick glance Nikola gave his watch. "Still no word?"

"Not yet they still have an hour thirty minute and seventeen seconds." Nikola stated turning back to the bottle. "Well don't you have something to do?" He snapped.

Henry rolled his eyes and returned to his girlfriend. He was explaining the mission that had been underway for two days and how the brilliant Tesla was acting even worse than usual. Erika kissed his forehead then his cheek, before capturing his lips. Henry was all ready for the wonderful joys of making love till there was a security code alert.

Henry groaned. "Damn it." He looked behind him at the screen. "that's odd" He looked back at Erika "I need to check this out."

Erika nodded. "I'll come with you." Henry nodded before paging Nikola with the walkie to meet him at the front door.

"What is it?" Nikola asked before looking up to see John. "Where is Helen?"

"They knew we were coming; they took her. I was able to escape." John said breathless and battered.

"You left her alone!?" Nikola shouted. He knew this would happen, and yet no one listened till it was too late.

"I had too!" John was insulted that Nikola thought he left to save himself, "What would you have done?"

"I would have-"

"Stop it!" Henry said "Standing here arguing isn't helping her." He stated, "Nikola you have a plan don't you?"

"More or less." Nikola said fear constricting his reasonability to think. His Helen was trapped in a torture zone, and her ex- lover left her there. He wanted to rip John to shreds but the fact John was the only one to teleport he needed him alive.

"Well?" Henry asked.

"Get Will and we will teleport to the outlining areas and I'll go from there." Nikola said.

Helen struggled against the binding that held her to a chair. Her hands slowly slid free from the leather straps. She quickly moved to free her ankles; her shoes were across the floor. She looked at the ground 'pressure plates?' she thought. Not sure if she was right she left one foot touch the silver floor.

"ARGH!" It was definitely a pressure plate. Pain shifted through her body; she wished she had been more prepared. The Cabal's new abnormal was a Psi. It was considered a vampire by some or an incubi or succubus depending on gender.

"Shouldn't have done that." A deep voice came from the corner. Chills ran through her, this was bad. "Oh Helen Magnus." The man's voice came again. The young man came into the light. "When starting the Cabal I was told not to mess with the Sanctuary."

"Then am I here?" Helen asked squirming uncomfortably.

"You had a hand in my mother's death, and plus you were coming to take something that is mine." The man said walking onto the silver plate.

"Your mother?" She questioned watching the man who had started to circle her.

"Dana…" He answered jerking her arms behind her chair cuffing them.

"I didn't know that anyone had killed her." Helen said, her voice reached a high squeak as she was roughly handled.

He came around and leaned in close to her "When I am done with you I will destroy all you are and have."

Helen caught his name from the tag he wore. "Gabe, I-"

He slapped her hard, "You don't talk unless I ask you too." He opened the door allowing a small child in. "You know Psi's are not as bad as they sound, feed them and treat them well and they will do all you ask."

The small child walked to the man tugging on his shirt. She clearly wanted to feed. Gabe gestured to Helen speaking something in an unknown tongue. The girl nodded approaching Helen. Gabe smiled as he turned his back as Helen screamed.

Psi's feed from human energy, usually living the victim brain dead. They could also feed on a human just enough to leave the human weak and terrified. Ps Gabe wanted Helen alive, so the Psi would drain her partially. All of Helen's dark memories would be brought to the surface and she would be left vulnerable. Gabe would have her begging for death.

Helen cried as distorted memories flooded through her. The child pulled away from her leaving Helen alone. She moved to the entrance. Helen was shaking her arms sore and she was physically and emotionally exhausted. The door opened as Gabe let the girl out there was another man who took the girl as Gabe entered.

"You know it is a pity you are so beautiful." He approached Helen slowly stalking her. He stopped turning off the pressure plate; he closed in on her grabbing her chin roughly. "I bet you have had many lovers…" He stated coming close to her face. His mouth was inches from hers. She tried to pull back , but his grip only tightened as he crushed his lips to hers. "I am going to enjoy-"

Helen blocked his words out. Emotionally she was too tired to fight him and even if she tried right now he would win. Helen expected another disgusting kiss but pain flooded her cheek as his hand made contact with it. She fought the pain back easily, slaps were nothing. There was darkness in the man's eyes; he had much darker things planned.

He moved behind the chair his hand caressed Helen's breast through the cotton shirt. "I would guess that you being…well you that you know how to please a man" he pinched at her nipple roughly causing Helen to cry out in pain.

Gabe seemed like the sound as he licked up her neck nipped at her jaw. His hands moved to the bottom of her shirt pulling it up over her breast. His nails bit into her soft breast; painfully clawing at them. Helen flinched in pain; she closed her eyes as she felt him moving his hands along her sides. Gabe moved in front of her; he knelt down sucking at her tender flesh. She felt his hand crawl up her thighs. Helen closed her eyes tigher, where was John? He was supposed to go for help. How would Nikola forgive her for this? Nikola…
