Percy's POV

I wiped the fog away from the mirror and stared at myself. My hair was damp from the shower and sticking to my forehead. Then I noticed my eyes. Everything except my pupil was black and little veins were popping out from under my eyes. I started to panic when I recognized the look. It happened when I was hungry. Calm down. If you don't you'll do something stupid. I turned the sink and splashed some water on my face. Water always seemed to calm me down. I look back up to see my eyes were back to normal. Sighing I walked out the bathroom and into the room. Deciding I need to rest I moved the suitcase that was still on my bed to the floor and laid face down into the bed. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep but the sound of swearing and crashing stopped me.

Alerted I quickly stood up and raced down stairs. When I reached the bottom of the stairs I saw Hayley knocked out in Jackson's arms and Rebekah lying on the floor knocked out as well. I turned to Jackson and said "What the hell happened?!". Jackson looked up at me and said "They were fighting and it ended in a draw". I quickly kneeled by Rebekah then asked Jackson "Are they dead?". He said "No, they'll wake up soon" relieved I scooped her bridal style and uneasily looked at Jackson. I could hear his heart thumping loudly as it pumped blood throughout his body and I could imagine the liquid smoothly sliding down my throat. Jackson cautiously said "Your vampire is showing". I looked into one of the hallways mirrors and saw the same exact look from the bathroom. I shut my eyes and tried to will the thoughts away but they didn't budge. Frustrated I said "I'm sorry but could you moved as far away from me as possible" his mouth opened like he was about to protest but I said "Now!". Then he moved into the living room leaving me with Rebekah in the hallway. My mouth began to water. I quickly moved upstairs and locked us in my room. I gently laid Rebekah on the bed as I began to barricade the door. I sat at the edge of the bed with my head in my hands. What's going to happen to me? What's going to happen to Jackson? The only ones who can save him are knocked out cold.

Maybe water will help me calm down. I rushed to the bathroom and put my head under the sinks faucet. I turned it on and let the cold water snap me out of my blood lust. It worked for about ten minutes until I smelled blood and heard Jackson say "Come on Hayley, this has to wake you up faster". I place my hands on the side of my face and twisted my head to the side, blacking out.

When I woke up my head was on something soft and I had a killer headache. I opened my eyes and saw I was lying on Rebekah's lap with her peering down at me. Rebekah gave me a questioning look as she said "Mind explaining to me why you were knocked out on the floor". I rubbed my temples as I asked "What time is it?" Rebekah rolled her eyes and said "I'm usually out for an hour when my necks broken so around 11:00". I said "Oh, so it's not morning". Rebekah shook her head then said "You didn't answer my question" sitting up I said "I was about to mutilate Jackson and couldn't control myself". She hummed in understanding before she said "I guess that's a way to calm yourself down but you could have just drunk my blood". Disturbed with the thought of even drinking her blood I said "I'll just knock myself out". Rebekah gave me a curious look and said "Why? Do you have a problem with drinking blood from the source?". I shook my head and said "No I just don't feel like going to the trouble of sinking my fangs into an endless supply". The blonde said "You haven't had vampire blood have you" I looked away from her and said "I've never had the need to". Then she said "Drink my blood". Caught off guard I said "What". Rebekah rolled her eyes and said "Your still in a blood lust and you're a danger unless it's satisfied"

"I'm not in a blood lust"

"Your face says otherwise"

I touched my face and felt veins under my eyes. I really did need to control my vamp face. I shook my head and said "It doesn't matter I'm not drinking your blood". She said "Yes you are and since I have to keep you away from the others I'm your only option". I moved away from her and said "I'll be fine I don't need to feed". Rebekah raised her eyebrow challengingly and said "So if I were to bleed right now you wouldn't lunge at me". I clenched my fists and said "No, because I wouldn't let myself drink". She narrowed her eyes at me for a moment before she went into the bathroom and I heard a shattering noise. It was less than a second before she stood in front of me with a glass shard in her hand. She rose it to the side of her neck and said "Then resist" and cut herself.

I watched intently as the red liquid slid down her throat. I franticly looked around the room for an escape route only to find the window was the only option. If I made it out before I lost control, then I'll be fine. I raced towards the window only to be slammed and then pinned against the wall. Rebekah said "No cheating" I glared at her and said "Your crazy, let me go!". Rebekah tightened her grip and said "I'd like to think I'm extra special" I turned my face away from her and said "Just let me go". If I lost control now, I'd definitely hurt her. She said "The sooner you give in the sooner this torture can end and I can enjoy a nice glass of bourdon". I clenched my jaw shut when I felt my fangs start to come out then helplessly said "Please, I don't want to hurt you". Rebekah's features soften a little as she said "I'm immortal"

"That doesn't mean you can't feel pain"

Rebekah closed her eyes briefly before she said "I'm no stranger to pain and little blood sucking isn't going to kill me" while moving impossibly closer to me so my face was practically right in front of her neck. Losing all resistance quickly I tried to pry my hands away to snap my neck but she seemed to guess what I was going to do because she said "If you snap your neck right now I will do the same to you when you wake up". Maybe I could trick her. Taking deep breaths, I said "Fine, Rebekah you win just let me go". Rebekah quirked her eyebrows at me and said "Like I haven't heard that before, did you forget I am one of the first vampires that ever existed". It didn't hurt to try. Then all my focus moved to her neck as I unconsciously moved closer. And I lost control. I bit down into her neck hungrily savoring the feeling of her blood sliding down my throat. As I bit she made a disgruntled sound and said "See it wasn't so hard was it" while releasing my arms. I took that opportunity to hold the back of her neck and tilt her head to the side. Throughout the feeding I vaguely felt Rebekah run her hands though my hair. The feeling seemed to calm me down a lot more than the actual blood itself.

When I felt I had enough blood I pulled away slightly and looked at Rebekah. Her eyes were closed and her expression was emotionless. I leaned closer to nudged her head with mine. Her eyes slowly fluttered open as she said "Don't look at me like that" lightly I said "What do you mean". She continued "Like you regret your decision". I laughed lightly and said "How would you like me to look at you". A smirked played on her lips as she said "Oh there are tons of expressions I'd preferred you to look at me with". Rolling my eyes, I said "None of which fit into this situation". Rebekah shrugged and said "There are a few that fit believe it or not". Jokingly I said "Just what kind of expression are you thinking of"

"Average ones"

"Sure I bet they are"

I reached up and brushed my fingers over her blood stained neck. I said "Sorry for feeding too roughly" she said "It's okay, I forced you to anyway". Then I noticed her lips were bleeding she must have bitten them to resist pushing me away. Seeing her blood again must have triggered my hunger again because the next thing I knew my lips were on hers.

Elijah's POV

I walked up the steps of the stairway into living room. I was met with the sight of Freya and Niklaus encouraging my niece, Hope, to walk a few more steps as clung onto her aunt's leg. As soon as I had stepped into the room Klaus looked up at me with an arrogant look and said "Came crawling on your hands and knees for me to give Hope to you did you?". I narrowed my eyes at him and said "I'm sorry to disappoint, well not really, but I have no intention of behaving like a mutt such as yourself". Klaus glared and stepped closer to me only to get intervened by Freya. Freya gave us a patronizing look as she said "Must you two do this right now" we all glanced at Hope, who was carelessly sucking on her fingers while looking up at us with curious eyes. I glanced at Klaus to see him with a guilty expression that lasted for a second before it turned cold again. He turned to Freya and said "Freya would you mind taking Hope to her room. It's about time for her nap". Freya sighed before she said "Klaus, Hope needs to see her mother". Klaus clenched his jaw as he said "No she doesn't, she has me". Frey shook her head and said "Klaus you can't be a mother when you're already a father". Klaus said "I can easily replace Hayley if she never sees her again" while giving me a cocky glance. I tried to step forward only to have Freya place her hands on my chest and say "Let it go".

A whine interrupted us. Klaus said "Freya would you please take her to bed". Freya sighed and said "Fine but if you're going to fight please keep the volume and violence down". Then she picked up the sleepy Hope and walked away from us. Niklaus turned to me after the two disappeared from our sight and said "This wouldn't have happened had you'd just learn how to forgive and forget". I said "Believe what you must, but know this. If you want any chance of reconciliation with me then you will think twice about your decision of keeping Hope away from Hayley". With that I walked away from him and out of the quarter to Marcels bar.

I arrived shortly to see Marcel sparing with one of his vampires. I watched them until Marcel won signaling it was my turn. I stepped into the ring and removed my blazer s Marcel said "I take it Klaus hasn't made anything easier on you". As I folded my sleeves I said "He's detained Hope from seeing her mother". Marcel rose his eyebrows in fake disbelief and said "Well that's unexpected". Standing in proper stance I rose my fists up and said "Enough about Klaus, I came to blow off some steam". He grinned widely and said "Then don't be too disappointed when you lose". With that we charged each other.
