Hey all! Sorry I didn't post last week! I was slammed with two tests and I REALLY needed to study. As I said, the next few chapters are going to be AJ's years in captivity. This chapter is all about AJ's first day. I hope you like it. :)

Disclaimer: Not mine :( But, I do get to see Rachelle again in May. I'll ask her then.


AJ's POV:

It was like waking up from one of those dreams where you are falling. I jumped up and looked around the… bedroom? I wasn't sure where I was, but I figured it wasn't good.

"Hello gorgeous."

I swear my heart skipped a beat and I turned to look my ex fiancée in the eyes. "Berk?"

He smiled. "In the flesh."

"How…" I was speechless. "I mean, I killed you. I remember drinking your… sweet blood." I was getting hungry again and I flashed him a fangful smile. "I missed you."

"And I you."

I leaned in to kiss him and let my fangs graze his neck. I suddenly felt a burning sensation and I pulled away from him and fell to the ground. "What the hell was that?"

Berk stood over me and held up a stake. "You will never EVER disrespect me like that again. Understand little girl?"

I gave a slight nod. Whether or not I agreed with him, it felt like the safest course of action right then.

"Good." He helped me stand up. "Look at you! Expecting what I assume is going to be the most beautiful child ever."

I gave him a small smile. "I am so excited about."

"As you should be."

I bit the edge of my lip and locked eyes with my former lover. "Not to be insensitive, but how are you here?"

"We have your Grandmother to thank for that."

I cocked my head. "Janine?"

Berk snorted. "No, your father's mother." I was about to open my mouth again. "Let me stop you before you embarrass yourself further. I'm not talking about Liliana. I am talking about your REAL Grandmother."

I closed my eyes. "Tatiana."

"You remember."

I turned and looked at my father and grandmother. "What do you want with me?"

"We had to get you out of there. You killed Roza."

Everything came flooding back. "Oh my God…"

"Alissa, listen to us… We just want to help you. We can keep you safe, but only if you let us." Tatiana put a hand on my shoulder and stared into my eyes. "You can trust us."

"I trust you."

"You killed Roza."

The pain I felt for Roza was stronger than her trance. I fell to my knees sobbing. "Oh my God…"

Berk pulled me to him. "Shhh… It's going to be okay." He pulled away and looked at me. "You are probably hungry aren't you?"

I nodded. "A little."

"Okay. Come with me." He walked me over to a door and down the hall and a few flights of stairs.

"Are we going to the feeders?"

"Something like that… yeah…"

He opened a heavy wooden door and I saw a young human male cowered in the corner. I took a couple steps towards him. "Are you alright?"

"Please, just let me go…"

I looked at Berk, but he just smiled. "I thought you were hungry?"

I smiled back. "Right…" And with that, instinct took over me.

I hope you liked this! Please review and remember to vote in the poll! See you all next week!
