Hellooooo :)

Its been a while!

Thank you guys for all the reviews so far!

I dont have much to say, you all know that I dont have that much inspiration for this story. But I still want to finish it. So it may take me a while to update, but while you wait, you can check out my three other stories. Or my two one-shots. They are all Night World Fanfics.

Anyways! Enjoy :)

Disclaimer:

Eric: too many vampires in the mansion!

Me: you say that like its a bad thing.

Eric: It is!

Me: No. Thats a good thing. A bad thing would be not owning the Night world-

Eric: Which you dont.

Me: whatever.

Chapter 10

He rolled his eyes as he picked up a crying Timmy. Why am I in charge of him? He asked himself as Timmy kept kicking and punching while yelling threats. "Let me go!" he cried out but James ignored.

"What's wrong Tim?" James asked him as Timmy kept trying to push him away. He called him Tim because he knew Timmy liked to be treated like a 'man'. He thought there was a better chance of Timmy answering his question if he treated him as he wished. "It's ten am. Your usually asleep until eleven. Plus, you never cry"

"I want Rashel!" he yelled and that's when James caught the look in his eyes. Timmy was afraid- heck, he was terrified. For the first time James was left speechless as he stared at Timmy who was squeezing his shoulder hoping he would put him down.

"Timmy, you know you can tell me what's wrong" James told him softly.

"No! I want Rashel!" Timmy cried out before adding; "James I need Rashel!"

"What's going on?" James turned around to see Poppy standing by the door. She glanced from Timmy to him before she asked the question once again through the soulmate link.

James shrugged as Poppy made her way towards them. She extended her arms to Timmy as he started pulling James hair. "Come on" she told him before Timmy let go of James and pretty much jumped to Poppy's arms. She hugged him as he buried his head on her shoulder. "Did James do anything to scare you Timster?" she asked before Timmy shook his head. "Hm, then may I ask why your crying? It's not like you"

"I want Rashel" he whispered. "I'm scared and I want Rashel"

"Rashel called an hour ago. She is on her way" Timmy nodded to every word Poppy spoke "she will be here soon, for now, why don't you go downstairs and steal some cookies from Iliana?" she added before Timmy once again nodded. She put him down before he ran out the room.

"James, he was terrified!" Poppy exclaimed as she grabbed his hand. "I got a glimpse on his mind- everything was so dark! What happened?"

"I don't know. I heard him cry from the washroom and came running here. I found him under the bed" James and Poppy walked out the room before closing the door as he continued explaining. "He kept asking for Rashel- and every time I would try reading his mind he would block me- that kid is almost as good as Quinn"

"Something is definitely wrong. I'll go call Rashel. I'll tell her to hurry up a little." Poppy gave James a small kiss on the cheek before turning around and rushing to her room, where she left her cell-phone. James kept walking as he thought about any possible reason that could have made Timmy cry. Lost in thought he eventually made it to the kitchen. He saw Iliana eating cookies happily as she talked with Galen and Maggie- Timmy was nowhere in sight.

"Have you guys seen Timmy?" He asked loud enough for them to hear him over Iliana's voice. They shook their heads as an answer before Galen said he hasn't seen him since yesterday. James panicked. "If you see him, let me know" he told them before rushing through the back door of the kitchen that led to the backyard.

He looked around for any sign of Timmy. He didn't know why, but he had a feeling he was outside- somewhere outside. He didn't like that at all. He walked a little before he was able to get a better view of the whole mansion- to check if Timmy was going to try to get out of the mansion through a window or something- that's simply something Timmy would do. James glanced around for a while before something caught his attention.

A balcony in the third floor. It was Gillian and David's balcony. The door to the balcony was slightly open- but that's now what caught his attention. There was something dripping from the corner of the balcony. He couldn't really tell what it was but it seemed to be some sort of dark liquid. Glancing around for Timmy once again James decided to check what the liquid was. He walked towards the building before the smell hit him.

A smell that made him nearly puke. He wrapped an arm around his stomach as his other arm covered his nose. It was blood. Dead shifter blood- blood that didn't have any oxygen- someone's Blood. He was trying to yell out for help but the smell wouldn't let him. So he decided to go back inside, but that's when he saw the door to the balcony move, and then he saw Gillian come out before she let out a traumatizing scream.

"Did you hear that?" Morgead asked as he looked towards the direction of the mansion.

He was out hunting with Jez- something they did way to often. It was usually the only time they had the chance to be alone. Mostly because they hunted at the forest behind the mansion- a forest that was daybreak territory, meaning it was well protected. Of course, Keagen had to come seeing how he was in charge of protecting Jez, but he always kept his distance not wanting to interrupt anything.

"Hear what?" Jez asked as she stood on a branch of one of the tallest trees.

"That scream" Jez raised her eyebrow before focusing her eyes towards the direction of the mansion. Both Morgead and her stayed quiet as they waited to hear that scream again, but it was never heard. "Weird. Thought I heard it" Morgead commented before jumping on the same branch Jez was on.

"Probably your imagination"

"Jez!" she turned around to see Keagen running towards her. "We need to get back. Now" he said before looking at Morgead. He gave him a look and told him something telepathically before Morgead nodded and picked Jez up. She protested as he jumped off the branch and walked towards Keagen. "We are running straight to the mansion. Don't stop. No matter what, don't stop" he said clearly as Morgead nodded looking completely serious.

"Hold on!" Jez protested. "What's going on?"

"No time to explain, lets-" Keagen was never able to finish his sentence. He fell on his knees as he covered his nose with both his hands. Morgead collapsed on the ground as he let go of Jez. They both smelled it- that stink that made all their insides twist in pain. It was both disgusting and disturbing.

Jez didn't know what to do. She looked at both of them desperately waiting for one of them to explain what was happening. She didn't understand why they were covering their noses. "Morgead?" she asked hesitating as she put her hand on his shoulder. "What's wrong?"

"Jezebel!" Jez snapped her head up as she focused her attention towards the direction she heard the voice. Soon enough she saw Timmy running towards her with both his arms open. She opened her arms while kneeling down before he crashed his head on her chest, he wrapped his small arms around her waist before he started crying. "I'm scared!"

Once again, Jez didn't know what to do. She couldn't even open her mouth to tell Timmy everything was going to be okay- why? Simple, because she was also scared. She didn't know what was going on with Morgead- who seemed to be in a lot of pain.

She started freaking out.

"Go to the mansion Jez" Morgead barely managed to whisper those words as he put an arm around his stomach. "Go!"

No! I'm not leaving with out you. That was a statement whether Morgead liked it or not. "Timmy, I need you to do me a huge favour." she told him before he nodded. "I need you to grab Keagen's phone and call someone in the mansion. Ask for help and give them our location" Jez finished explaining as Timmy nodded to all her words. He did exactly what she said.

So fucking stubborn. Morgead thought knowing Jez was listening.

Jez ignored Morgead as he kept adding comments about her stubbornness. She walked up to Keagen as she heard Timmy practically yelling over the phone to Winnie "I'm sorry Keagen" she said before she hit him on neck knocking him out cold within second.

What are you doing! Morgead yelled through their link as she made her way towards him.

Sorry. She said back before she hit him in the exact same spot she hit Keagen. Morgead's eyes immediately shot close as he collapsed on the ground.

"People are coming" Timmy said as he examined both Keagen and Morgead. "Why did you knock them down?" he asked as he rubbed his eyes.

"Look Timmy. I need you to stay here and wait for who ever is coming. I'm going to the northern gate- is that where you came from?" Timmy nodded before Jez stretched her legs. "Okay, I'll be right back. If I'm not back before the people get here, tell them where I went" Jez didn't bother hearing Timmy's response. She left within a flash, already feeling the pull Morgead was giving their silver chord. He may be unconscious, but he knew exactly what Jez was going to do.

Sorry Morgy.

"I have a bad feeling" Rashel mumbled as Quinn once again passed a red light.

Relax. He said through the soulmate bond before he spoke out loud. "Are you guys okay back there?"

"No. My head hurt" Krestel complained as she tried to push Jade away from her. "Get off me Jade"

"I cant! My foot is stuck. Mark move!"

"I would if this bag would let me."

"Stop complaining!" somehow, Ash's loud shout made everyone shut up. He was grabbing the front seat to prevent him to fall over with one hand as his other hand was on the window. Rowan -who was sitting next to him- had both her hands around Mare's arm, while Mary-Lynnette had both her hands on the window.

Ash was clearly in a bad mood because thanks to Rowan's complainants he wasn't able to sit next to Mare. Instead he was next to the window as she sat next to the other window. The way Quinn was driving didn't help his mood at all- much to everyone's despair. "Could you possibly slow down, John?" Ash knew better then to call him that, but he didn't care.

"We need to get there fast Ass" Quinn cooed before making a perfect 'U' turn.

"I hate this!" Krestel yelled. "Why the fuck did I agree to this?"

"You didn't have a choice" Ash reminded her before getting a warning from Mare through the silver chord.

They are pissing me off.

Don't be rude though. Ash could already picture Mary-Lynnette saying those words as she rolled her eyes. He smirked.

I should be sitting next to you.

So this is what its all about?

Yes.

Your such a kid. Mare complained.

A kid that cant play with his long missed toy.

Toy?

You know, I can hear you. Ash had to control himself as he saw a smile on the side of Quinn's face.

Strong Telepath? Mary-Lynnette guessed before remembering Ash mentioning that last summer.

Annoying telepath.

Ash just finds it annoying because I always end up catching him fantasizing about you. Quinn said those words with a mocking tone.

Fantasizing? Mare asked raising an eyebrow while slightly blushing. Of course neither Quinn or Ash saw that.

I'll show you.

No! Ash protested but it was too late. Quinn was showing Mare one of many fantasies Ash had pretty much dreamed of. Mary-Lynnette didn't really know how to react to this. Her cheeks definitely started feeling warmer as Quinn kept sending her the 'fantasy'.

"I swear Quinn, wait until we have training" Ash said out loud as he hid his face away from Mary-Lynnette's eyes.

We get our own room? Mare asked Ash but he never gave her an answer. Oh goddess.

Quinn laughed.

"I want someone to contact all four gates and ask for an update on any particular movement. James get a couple of vampires and scout the mansion. I want everybody in the first floor. Galen, I need you to stay. The healers are to stay as well. We are in code blue. Everyone should know what to do. Dismissed." Thierry ordered and everyone obeyed.

"Thierry" Hannah whispered before kissing him softly.

"Code blue, Hannah. Go" he told her before giving her a smile. Hannah left knowing she had to do as told, to help keep some order around.

"Thierry, its best if you stay here. We still don't know what that aroma is made off- it could be dangerous." Thea told him as everyone started leaving the room and the hallway.

"Don't worry about me. Do your work" Thea nodded before leaving.

"He was my way of contact to the first house" Galen told him softly as he stared at the ceiling. "Kevin Fall. Falcon- honourable shifter" Galen shook his head angrily. "Who did this?"

"The real question is; 'when did they do it?'" James pointed out as he walked towards the two of them before bowing his head in a greeting way. "Five vampires are scouting the mansion. Poppy is taking my place." he told Thierry before he got yelled at for not doing his job.

"I think the real question is, 'how?' I haven't seen the body yet, but from what Gillian described it, the marks on Kevin's body clearly meant the attack wasn't gentle. We should have at least heard his screams."

"I don't think he was conscious" Galen stated. "I hav- had a special connection with Kevin. It was a telepathic connection. If he had been conscious, he could have used it to let me know he was in danger."

"I'm not liking this" Thierry mused as he rubbed his eyes. "My eyes still burn from that smell. What was that?"

"Something that clearly only affected the men in this building. None of the girls smelled it"

The three daybreakers stayed quiet as they thought over the recent events. The smell of Kevin's blood had caused so much pain- well at least to all the male daybreakers. Which only made things more confusing. Why hadn't the girls smelled anything- more importantly, why did the shifters blood smell like that in the first place.

"It doesn't make sense though- none of this" James mumbled giving up on think over the topic.

Galen, I'm going to the northern gate. Galen felt Raksha through the soulmate bond as he tensed.

Why?

Jez is there.

"Shit" Galen cursed before getting confused glares from both James and Thierry. "Keller went to get Jez" he hesitated "she is by the northern gate"

Galen has never seen Thierry's eyes filled with so much anger, it nearly scared the shit out of him. "Galen, go to the northern gate. James, you go find Poppy and then I want both of you at my office."
