She was falling, deeper into Alec's mind, and his into hers. Their minds tingled and sparked, flowing into to each others effortlessly. She was barely aware of him drinking from her, just the pain in his mind slowly disappearing. His mind was full of colour, reds, purples and blues mostly. She moved in deeper, aware of images from his life moving around her. Him and Delos, laughing together which made her smile. Him beating up some rabid vampires, him standing in front of a group of vampires. A large manor house with little light. An old forest with a group of witches doing a spell, and a stern looking man and woman. She slowed down and immediately felt him stiffen.

No... She heard him say though the bond, she sent calming thoughts to him. As she stopped in front of the memory she was sucked into it, taking Alec's place in it where she watched it all bewildered.

She was in a young man's body. He must have been around 14.

"Now, Alec. The Redferns think you are weak. Time to be assessed." Said the man, leering down to Alec, his hands being bound he made little struggle, but Sydney could tell he was staring the man down.

"Go ahead." His voice leaking boredom, though Sydney could feel his body tense in anticipation.

The man took a small wooden stake, barely thicker than a match and with a smile plunged it into Alec's chest. Sydney was consumed in agony. The pain was excruciating. It made her lose control of her body and be paralyzed, trapped in Alec and the never ending burn. It felt endless and timeless. What seemed like years later but was only a few seconds she felt a cool breath against her.

"Come away from it now Sydney... You've seen what you came to see."

She followed the cool voice; just as she unattached herself from younger Alec she turned around to see the young man gripping the sides of the chair. His knuckles were white with 4 more stakes in him. In a daze she stepped out of the memory and into Alec's arms.

She felt Alex's strong arms around her and realised he had stopped feeding and she was out of his head. She felt his grip tighten on her and pull her closer.

"You're safe now." Alec murmured, rocking her gently as Sydney began to weep.

When Sydney awoke the next day she was curled up in Alec's arms on the bed. She tried to get up quietly, but as soon as her hand touched Alec's arm to free her from the embrace, his eyes snapped open.

"Shhh." She spoke soothingly, his posture relaxed and with a teasing smile he pulled her towards him and pressed her against his chest.

"Stop it!" She laughed and pushed him away and got up.

"I'm going to have a shower now." She told him heading towards the bathroom.

"Can I come?" Asked Alec with a wink, moving as if to join her.

"No." She said sternly but she smiled to show she wasn't angry.

She went into the bathroom, and after some deliberation locked the door.

As she turned on the shower and let it heat up she turned to look at herself in the mirror. Lifting up her long hair she examined her neck. There were two pink spots, but they were entirely closed and looked as if they had been healing for a week at least. With a small smile she pushed her hair back in front of the bites.

When she came back he was lying on the bed. His hands behind his head and he was staring at the ceiling. He was gorgeous. He looked to her and grinned, seeing her with her towel wrapped around her naked body and her hair wet and loose. With a wink he got up and went to the bathroom, allowing her to get dressed. She moved to the wardrobe to see it had been fully stocked with underwear and clothes for both Alec and her. Unsure about how the Daybreakers dress she got into a pair of black jeans and a loose white crop top that just hid her belly button.

A few moments later Alec came in, the towel wrapped around his waist, showing his beautifully sculptured chest. She turned away; blushing a little as he got dressed. Just as he was putting his shoes on her phone rang. Sydney scowled as she realised Alec must have taken her phone from her. He smiled at her sheepishly and after her nod answered it.

"Hello?" Alec spoke into the phone, his voice annoyed. Sydney could hear the voice from the other side.

"Hello, hello? My name is Matt, sorry isn't this Sydney's number?" She recognised the voice, it was one of her few friends Matt, she always thought that if she was to like a boy, it would be Matt. He was always nice to her, and she thought he liked her.

She held her palm out to Alec. "Give me the phone."

"Sydney? Was that Sydney?" Matt's voice came through the phone loudly.

Alec's eyes were clouded over and with a smile Sydney thought he looked jealous.

"Listen, I was calling to ask if Sydney was free for Saturday." Matt's voice came through the phone as cute, if a little nervous.

Alec's face looked set to break stone. "No." He answered. Sydney glared at him.

"I am." She said, annoyed.

"Was that Sydney, could I have a word with...?" Matt asked carefully.

"No. And if you want to keep all of your limbs I'd recommend not calling this number again." Growled Alec, looking thunderous. Without another word he hung up, visibly fuming.

He got up and stormed to the wall and plugged the phone in, in case Sydney wanted to call her dad later. Sydney watched all of this with a bemused smile on her face.

"Wait... You're not jealous are you Alec?" She asked, acting innocent with a teasing smile.

"Do I have any reason to be?" Asked Alec. His voice short.

"Well..." Sydney began as she sat on the bed and dramatically fell back. "He's just so hot! And I feel like he understands me like no one else." Watching Alec with a hidden smile as he fumed. Within a second he was beside her, holding onto her waist he wrapped his arms around her and held on tightly.

"You're mine." He said with a sense of authority. "And I am never letting you go."
