I was barely aware of my surroundings while I battled with the beast inside me. The only thing I knew for certain, was that I couldn't move.
I could feel the rage and the hunger rushing through me like fire, burning every inch of my skin. Every deep breath I took only came out as a low growl. How dare she!
I am going to fucking kill her for launching this attack and putting the ones I care for in the path of danger.

I felt my lips curl into a smile and let out a purr as thoughts and images started to run through my mind of ways I could dispose of her and watch the light die from within her cold and murderous eyes. I began to struggle my way free from the bonds that held me. Growling and screaming in frustration and pain as the iron cuffs dug into my skin and prevented me from breaking free. I jolted as I heard a door slam open and I growled a warning to the man that walked in the room.

"Don't. She isn't in control right now. Her blood beast is the dominant one right now." I heard Christian groan from across the room.

"What do you mean?" the voice replied softly.

Wait, I know that voice...
Why is he here? Please get him away from me. Don't let him see me like this...

"I meant exactly what I said Belikov. She may look weak but she is dangerously far from it. Dude she knocked out Eric, and he can usually handle anything. This only happens when the sun hits her, well except for this one time, where she lost control in a fit of rage and released it upon the enemy. Right now she is fighting for control." Christian explained as I watched him walk over to where Erik was slouched over, unconscious.

What happened to Erik?!
I started to panic as I tried to search through my memories and came up empty. I don't remember doing anything to hurt him. I let loose a whine as I watched him drag Erik to the couch furthest away from me. What did I do?

Christian then looked at me and gave a slight nod that I assumed meant that Erik was okay. I tried to move into a more comfortable position but the iron cuffs around my wrist prevented me from doing so by burning against my skin. I snarled as I tried to ignore the pain. As I continued to struggle, I felt my power come forth and surround me as I willed it to try to break the cuffs.

"What is she?" I heard Dimitri ask. I frowned at the sound of his voice, it sounded like he was afraid of me. I took my gaze of Erik and looked up at the ceiling. I didn't want to look at them.

"I refuse to answer such a stupid question." Christian scoffed.

"A stupid question!? Don't you dare fucking avoid this Lord Ozera! She changed, She is now one of those...Things! She should be a Dhampir. What happened?" Dimitri shouted at him in anger and fear.
My vision began to blur as I recalled the events that took place in the tunnel...
He probably thinks that I am a monster.

"I can not answer that for you Belikov. If you really want to know so badly, you can ask Rose. However, you may not like the answer you get. But I will tell you this, if you cause her harm, in any way, I will not hesitate from beating the shit out of you and I do believe Erik would promise you the same thing. Except, he would actually kill you." Hearing Christian threaten Dimitri was a little funny, so I smiled a little at that.

After a few moments of silence, I heard footsteps go off into the distance and a door slamming shut. The silence continued for a few more minutes until I looked over at Christian.

"Get these cuffs off of me please," I spoke to Christian, my voice coming out a bit rough;y from trying not to openly cry at Dimitri's words.

"Are you sure? You've been kind of going a little psycho lately." Christian chuckled softly as he walked over and unlocked my wrist.

I quickly sat up and rubbed at my wrist, trying to will the soreness away, watching as the burned skin healed itself back to perfection. I looked up at Christian and took hold of his hand that he kindly extended towards me. I wobbled a little as I stood up, the room shinning for a split second.

"Careful Rose, don't rush it. You've lost some blood and need to rest up some more before doing anything that requires lots of movement." Christian fussed.

I just simply rolled my eyes at him and walked for to where Erik was still sleeping. Gently shaking his shoulder to wake him, he gave out an irritated growl. Which meant that if I didn't let him sleep then id be offered up as dog chow. I giggled at his reaction and lightly tapped his nose before standing back up and walking towards the bathroom.

"Hey Sparky, do you mind getting me fresh clothes I can wear while I take a shower?"

"Sure, but only if I get to join." He replied jokingly.

Instead of dignifying that with a response, I just shut the door on him while starting the shower and stepping. I'm not gonna lie, sometimes a hot shower is all a girl needs to just relax and forget all the troubles in the world. Something about it just soothes the mind. Same can be said for hot tubes, napping in a moonlit forest, and chocolate. Hmm, chocolate...

Getting out of the shower, I noticed there was a pile of folded clothes on the counter and quickly put them on. I walked out and noticed that Erik was awake and standing in front of the window.

"Hey thanks for the clothes, I totally forgot to grab a pair before hopping in the shower," I said casually. Tapping him on the shoulder to get his attention. He turned his head and looked at me with a bored look in his eyes.

I mentally sighed, he only gets this way when he was gonna scold me. And I know I deserve it, I should have been feeding more regularly and the fact that I haven't been, is probably why I lost control of the beast inside me. I moved my hand to his chest, feeling the muscles twitch at my touch. I step closer and buried my face against his chest, at first nothing happened but then I felt arms wrap around my waist and felt a deep rumble coming from Erik's chest. I smiled in victory.

Werewolves are very territorial, loyal and dominate creatures. Especially the Alpha of a pack. A pack doesn't just include other werewolf's either, the pack can be made of other creatures as well. For an example, out little group. Erik, being the only werewolf in our group, is the Alpha of our group, even though I am technically in charge. He still does everything an Alpha should do for his pack. And I've learned very quickly how to properly disarm and apologize to an angry stubborn wolf.

I leaned back and gave him a peck on the cheek before bouncing off towards the door. "I'm going to go raid the kitchen for food. Let me know if you want me to save you anything Fiară."

I ran down the stairs and going by scent, I found my way into the kitchen, where I saw Christian and Atali making some sandwiches and drinking shots from a bottle of Alcohol.

"Drinking already guys?" I laughed as I grabbed Christian's sandwich, who glared at me as he pulled out another couple pieces of bread to make another one.

"Why yes Rose, we are. I think we kinda deserve to relax and get drunk after the shit we went through earlier. Because I got to tell you, Celeste really got the drop on us. We had no warnings that she was gonna launch a full on attack like that." Atali said while shoving the food in her mouth.

I took a deep sigh and leaned against the counter, She was right. Our scouts didn't even hear or see any signs that she was coming to America, much less planning an attack against the Queen and all.

"So your one of those things huh?" Tasha's acidy voice came from the entrance of the kitchen.

We all looked towards the doorway of the kitchen and saw Tasha, Vasilisa, Eddie, and Mia entering the room. There was hostility in her facial expression.

"I am," I said confidently.

"Well isn't that just peachy. And I suppose this is where you try to kill all of us, right?" A fireball formed in hand as she walked around the kitchen, never taking her eyes off of me.

"You would be wrong Tasha. Why would you think that I would kill my friends?" I asked calmly. Waiting to see what she was going to do.

"Well, there is the fact that your kind just attacked the Palace and slaughtered Moroi and Dhampir's like we were fucking livestock. It's funny how that attack happened right after you walked back into all our lives, Rose. I bet you even planned the whole thing." She sneered at me.

"Aunt Tasha, that is completely crazy. Rose would never do that, I would know. She would never betray the people she cares about." Christian growled at his Aunt in my defense while he got up from his chair and stood next to me.

"Christian, you would really take the side of that Monster, then your own Aunt? Your own flesh and blood?" She asked with a sickly sweet voice while putting on a mask of innocence.

"I would." He replied.

Tasha's face twisted with disgust and anger as she looked back and forth between me and the group of people to our right. Warning bells started going off in my head.

"How Dare you go against me! After all, I have done for you!" She yelled in furry.

"And you, you shouldn't even be here! I knew you would always be nothing but trouble, Everything that has happened is your fault. I should just kill you and be done with it. After all, you just one of those things, a monster, an abomination."

"I agree with Tasha."

I watched as my once best friend in the whole wide world came and stood next to Tasha, glaring at me with those jade eyes.

"Lissa are you out of your mind!" Eddie yelled

"Lissa! What are you saying?" Mia gasped

Vasilisa threw them a determined look, " I mean exactly what I said. Look at her, she doesn't even look like she used to. For the love of god, I saw her rip out the throat of one of those things with her freaking teeth. She is not the same Rose that we knew. I mean, look at her!"

"Vasilisa, that's enough," Adrian said, walking into the room.

"Adrian, are you seriously gonna defend that monster?!" I flinched at her choice of words she used to describe me and an involuntary growl escaped from my throat.

"Did you hear that?! She growled! That is proof enough." She exclaimed.

"I don't understand why we are even talking about this, we should just kill her here and now. She is just as bad as a Strigoi!" Tasha yelled as she quickly threw a huge ball of fire towards me, ignoring all the shouts.

I grabbed Christian and threw him out of the way as I easily dodged her attack and flashed in front of her. I grabbed her by the throat and slammed her body against the wall as I snarled at her.

"A monster am I? You think that I am just as bad as those soulless, cruel, and murderous abominations!?" I roared at her while squeezing her throat tighter. I could feel my fangs extend and the bloodlust becoming stronger. I knew I looked terrifying by the way Tasha's eyes held fear and her body started to shake.

"I'll show just how much of a monster I can be" I whispered in a menacing tone.

I looked into her eyes and mumbled out at enchantment while we stared at each other, only letting go of her when her body stiffened and her eyes become clouded. She stood where she was, her body rigged and her face set in pure horror. I smirked as I took a step back.

"What did you do to her?" Adrian asked, his eyes glinting with curiosity.

" I tapped her in an illusion. She doesn't hear, feel, nor see anything here in the real world. But in the illusion, anything she goes through, she will feel as if it were real." I explained.

"And what are you making her see exactly?" Vasilisa Sneered

I turned to face her with a wicked smile upon my face, relishing the way she flinched back in fear.

" I am making her experience what it would be like to bound to a pyre while being burned alive. Quite fitting if you ask me." I chuckled darkly.

I looked back at Tasha and kind of enjoyed the state she was in. Her body stood paralyzed, her eyes were clouded, her mouth hung open in a silent scream, and her scent reeked of fear.

"What's going on here?" His deep baritone voice started me a little, but as I sniffed the air the, oh so familiar, the scent of aftershave hit me and my body instinctively relaxed. I slightly frowned a bit at this.

I turned around and saw Dimitri standing in the doorway of the kitchen, shock written all over his face as he looked from Tasha to me. I sighed in defeat as he narrowed his eyes at me. With a snap of my fingers, Tasha fell to the floor of the kitchen, unconscious. Vasilisa rushed to her side and checked all her vital signs. I scoffed as if I'd really kill the bitch.

From the corner of my eye I saw Dimitri walk towards the counter and set down a couple bags of groceries, he then continued on walking towards Vasilisa and Tasha.

"Princess, I think you should go put Tasha in a room so that she may get some rest. Eddie, help the Princess." He spoke calmly as he helped Vasilisa up from the floor and out of the way so that Eddie could pick up Tasha.

"Rose, are you okay? She didn't hurt you did she?" Sydney asked as she eyed me up and down and patted my entire body. She fret's like a mother would to her child.

"I am okay Syd, it's not the first time someone has tried to kill me because of what I am, and I am sure that it will not be the last," I reassured her.

"Of course you would say that," She scoffed. " However, we are your friends, family even. We are allowed to worry about you. So get used to it."

"She is correct little Dhampir. Hmm, I guess I can't call you that anymore can I? I'll have to find a new nickname for you." Adrian smiled as he kissed my forehead.

I stared at them like a deer in headlights. Did they actually mean it? Were they not repulsed by me, even after they saw the darkness that dwells inside? Did they not think of me as a monster?

I continued to look at them, really look at them. Until I finally smiled at them "Thank you guys, that means so much to me."

"However, and I think that I speak for everyone, we should hear the story of how you became a Voidkin," Eddie spoke.

I looked at him and saw confusion and friendly love in his eyes, but I also saw the panic. I nodded my head in agreement and turned to leave the room. Walking out of the kitchen, I found my way to the back door of the house and out into the backyard. Taking a deep breath and enjoying the scent of soil and flowers in the air as I walked towards an iron bench and sat down.

I leaned my head back and looked towards the night sky, searching for the moon. It glowed an eerie orange that made the dark clouds look like they foretold some kind of pending doom. Psh, As if!

"I am Glad you are alive, my Lord was worried. He seemed to fear the worst after hearing how the Vampire Court has fallen." He spoke in the same monotone voice he always did and it made me smirk, a little.

"Hello, Damen, nice to see you too." I chuckled.

From the corner of my eye, I saw him walk towards me and sit down next to me. I knew he was studying me and trying to search for anything to say. Hoping that he wouldn't ask for me to spill out my feelings, I just continued to stare at the moon.

"Want to fly?"

I swiftly looked at him and smiled, " I knew there was a reason why I liked you."

He gave me one of his genuine smiles and held out his hand for me to grab a hold of. Taking it, we got off the bench and ran towards the forest where there was more privacy. The minute we were in the safety of the trees, my body started the familiar tingling that happens before I begin to shift forms. Suddenly, instead of running, we were now flapping our wings against the wind. Gliding through the trees, I feel a rush of adrenaline pump through me and I feel ecstatic. Like I could take on the world.

I let a screech pass through my beak as I began soaring up towards the sky, daring Damen to follow. Flying past the treetops and further into the sky, I hear a deeper screech and stop mid-flight, hovering in the air to scout the land below me. I see Damen's owl form perched on a oak branch and glide down to him, extending my talons outwards in order to grab the branch. After an ungraceful land, I scoot closer to him and peck his neck in greeting.

Looking out, I can see hundreds, maybe thousands of trees and undisturbed land. I always loved the wildness of nature. Everything seems so clear and clean here, no smog, no traffic noise, no compressed tight closed buildings, and no crowded areas of people.

I turn my head in the direction of the house, watching as a few lights turn on. Damen makes a deep purr like sound hoot and cuddles closer to me, noticing that my mood went from jubilant to depressed. We sat there for a couple of hours until all the lights in the house went out and flew the rest of the night until the early morning hours before dawn.
