~~~~ A week later ~~~~

Angela and Sarah were watching Harry make Teddy laugh, Bonnie and Caroline were there telling Angela and Sarah

" So Elena was there, and she was going on about how I had been stalking her and everything but then Caroline beat her down! It was so funny then and all three of us knocked her down a few pegs. Hopefully she will learn her lesson."

Sarah said

" If she doesn't well, then there is more for us to work with."

Angela added in

" You know it! But really Bonnie? I am glad that you got your anger out, I wish I was able to smack her! But she would probably go running to someone and have me locked up, so yeah me hitting her is out of the question."

Harry turned to them and said

" I call dibs on pranking her car, she can't sing. Why the hell does she think she can!"

Caroline and Bonnie said at the same time

" We call dibs on pranking her room."

Sarah and Angela said at the same time

" Fine, we get her. She won't know what hit her!"

All of them grinned evil grins at the thought of all the chaos they would cause. But sadly it would have to wait as teddy chose that moment to wake up and cry, Harry walked over to him and picked him up before slowly rocking him backwards and forwards. He knew Teddy wasn't tired he spent most of his time sleeping, taking a small sniff, he knew that Teddy didn't need his nappy changing so that left one thing

"Time for a feed big guy?"

Teddy giggled and clapped his hands, as he was getting older he was moving around a lot more. He was already attempting to crawl away, soon he would be crawling and then they would have their hands full. But luckily he had stair gates and door gates to keep him inside of the room. The fire place was warded so tightly it made fort Knox look like a play pen.

Speaking of play pens he would have to get one out for Teddy, he didn't like keeping Teddy in one room, but he didn't want him to fall down the stairs of go into the kitchen and get hurt. Harry knew that Teddy would be teething and eating sot foods as well.

They had tried Teddy on some mashed up carrots and other soft veg, and he had enjoyed it. He had also enjoyed throwing it into everyone's faces and hair, they had spent three hours cleaning up. But they had fun, it had even turned into a small food fight with Angela using Teddy as a shield.

Harry stifled a yawn, he hadn't been sleeping very well. He kept having the same dream over and over again, he was running through a forest and was been chased by someone but he didn't know who it was.

Angela saw Harry yawning and took Teddy off him, while nudging him with her shoulder

"Go and get a hour, we will all be fine down here."

Harry looked at them all, they all nodded their heads. Harry gave a tired smile before yawning once again and stumbling up the stairs, Caroline looked at Sarah and said

"Is he having nightmares?"

Sarah shook her head, and lied through her teeth

"No, most likely it will be worry because he has no idea when Teddy will start to teeth and it is starting to panic him."

Caroline and Bonnie nodded their heads, it made sense to them. After all they didn't know when a baby began to teeth either!

Angela and Sarah shared a look they knew the real reason why he was not sleeping, but they couldn't do anything they had to wait for the second stage to pass.

~~~~~Harry's room~~~

Harry sighed as his head touched the pillow, he closed his eyes and hoped that he could get a hour of sleep, he had no idea what the dream was or what it meant. Eventually his eyes closed and he drifted off to sleep.

###### Harry's dream #######

Harry ran through the forest, his clothes been torn by the tree branches as he ran. He stopped in the clearing and looked around he couldn't see anything, yet and that was the problem whoever or whatever was chasing him couldn't be far behind.

"Come to me little one."

Harry turned around the voice came from behind him but no one was there, Harry began to run again he didn't want to get caught. Harry bolted and made his way for the dense trees that were off to the right of him.

"Come out, little one I can hear you."

The voice was so close to him, Harry carefully peeked through the trees. He spotted shoes, very shiny shoes. Harry held his breath as they moved away from him, just as he was about to relax he screamed as a hand grabbed him

"Let go!"

A cold steel like hand wrapped around his waist, pinning his hands to his side as a nose ran up the column of his neck

"You smell so good little one."

A tongue began to lick at his neck sending small shivers down his spine, he wanted to scream but he felt safe for some reason. As if he should be in these arms.

"That's it little one."

Just as Harry was about to speak he felt a sharp pain in his neck, he screamed.

#####End Harry's Dream#####

Harry woke up screaming, his clothes were soaked in sweat his hair was stuck to his forehead. His bedroom door was thrown open violently as Caroline, Bonnie, Angela and Sarah came rushing in Caroline had hold of Teddy. Harry threw himself at his aunt as he sobbed into Sarah's chest, his grip on her shirt was so tight that his skin on his knuckles had turned white. Angela looked at Sarah, if things didn't settle down then they would take action. Even if they had to slip him some dreamless sleep, but that would be a last resort.

Caroline began to hush Teddy as he had began to cry, the distress of the room was getting to him. They all climbed up onto Harry's bed and formed a protective circle around him as he continued to sob.

~~~~~New York city, Place unknown~~~~

In his bed Elijah had bolted up, his eyes were wide and unseeing. The veins underneath his eyes were pulsing, his eyes were red and his fangs were out. He could still taste the blood on his tongue, he had felt it slide down his throat as he had drank. Elijah swung his legs out of the bed and took a deep breath to calm himself down, he looked at his wrist and saw the outline for the second letter.

The mating bond was progressing that much Elijah did know, but he also had to deal with Klaus. He couldn't allow the bond to disrupt that he still had work to do, but he still couldn't shake the feel of that sweet glorious blood as it travelled down his throat.
