It has been a very long time since I updated this. I apologize. My life has been utterly insane since the last update and it may only get more so from here. However, all of the drabbles for this series are now written. I will be updating once a week (hopefully) with few exceptions. Thank you all for your patience – I hope you enjoy the update. I'd love to hear what y'all think!


51. Death

They were the last ones left. Just the two of them. Will was gone. Kate had died years ago. Biggie had ended his long life peacefully. John had sacrificed himself for her years before. Ashley had been long gone. It was just her. Her and Nikola.

They had walked a long path. They were both immortal, he was invulnerable. They \were companions as the world slowly began to change all over again.

It was a comfort to have Nikola by her side. It was the only comfort left to her when there was no one else she loved left alive.


52. Doom

"So, who wants to push the button of doom?" Tesla asked dryly, staring at the stone wall that was definitely a booby trap.

"Not me," Will said, taking a step back.

"Well, I'm not doing it," Kate said, looking over at Henry expectantly.

"What are you looking at me for? If it gets me killed, who's going to run security and the computer network?!" he demanded, holding up his hands.

"Why don't we just send Doctor Expendable?" Tesla suggested. They were squabbling like children and he wasn't impressed.

"Why don't you go, then, Nikola? You're the vampire," Helen pointed out.


53. Terror

When she woke screaming while her mother was away on business, Ashley didn't know what to do. She was terrified. It was the first time her mother had left her and Henry alone at the Sanctuary. Sure it wasn't just the two of them, but it was still the first time Helen had left them behind.

She flinched at the knock on her door. "Who is it?" she asked softly. Henry opened it and peered in, concern on his face.

"You okay, Ashley?" he asked. "I heard screaming…"

"I had a nightmare."

"Do you want to tell me about it?"


54. Peril

There was no way they were going to get out of this. Not this time. They were hanging by a literal thread over a bottomless pit.

Then the thread snapped.

They both knew it was going to be a long fall. Until their freefall suddenly jerked to a stop. Helen and Will looked up to see a familiar face looking down at them, holding the rope with one hand.

"Need some help?" Tesla asked.

"Nikola!"

"Hello, Helen. Miss me?" He smirking down at her and Will.

"Not now! Help us up!"

"Oh, but this is so much fun to watch…"


55. Shadow

John was her silent shadow. Everyone knew it except for her. When Helen was in danger, John was there. She never saw him, but he always made sure she was safe.

Nikola knew. He had caught John on several occasions when he was working with the enemy just to make sure that his beloved came to no harm. It was sweet in a strange, almost sadistic way. The man was a serial killer, yet he would put anything on the line for one woman.

But it was not just one woman and they all knew it. It was Helen Magnus.
