I know its short, but it was supposed to go with the other chapter...but then it would be too long for my liking.

Thanks to everyone for the reviews and all the awesome comments

Fourth Floor Hallway

"You cant do this!" shouted Jared angrily, tugging at the invisible chains holding him down within his mind.

"Well, obviously I can," snapped William, walking down the hallway to his room.

"When I manage to get out of these I'm never going to let you back out!" Jared spat.

"Am I going crazy?" William asked himself out loud. Even though it was he that everyone was seeing in the hallway, Jared was still there taking up space in his mind. But they had never been able to communicate before, and William found he hated the newfound connection. "I thought when I got to come out and play you went on time out in the dark room called your subconscious!"

"Not this time, you crazy fuck. I'm not going to let you control me like this anymore, I want you out for good!"

"Well, considering the fact that we're sharing the same body I don't see that happening anytime soon," growled Will.

"When I gain control I'm going to make sure you never come back!"

"See that's where you're wrong. My will is stronger than yours. That's why right now I get to keep control of all your bodily functions and you don't. That's why everyone here is staring at me like I'm talking to myself. No one can hear you, and no one will help you. You're my meat puppet. So shut up and be quiet!" he shouted angrily. Suddenly William could no longer hear Jared and he smirked to himself. "That was a little easier than I thought it would be," he said to himself, continuing his walk down the hallway, ignoring the stares he was receiving.

Jared struggled in the bonds that held him still. William may be strong, but Jared felt himself getting stronger as well.

Before meeting Serena, William had never emerged this much. Maybe once or twice a month he would come out and wreck havoc on the coven, but it was only for a night, or until he had had his fill of blood…or whatever else it was that he wanted. But now things were different.

It seemed that every time Serena was there, William became crazed, forcing himself to the surface and shoving Jared into their subconscious. Jared wasn't sure how William was doing it now when he couldn't before, but he wanted it to stop. Immediately.

Although Jared's strength and will power were growing, it didn't seem to be quite enough yet. But he didn't want to be the one left in the dark anymore, and he was going to find a way to separate him and William once and for all.

As he sat in the complete darkness of his own mind he began plotting.

Serena felt her heart racing. She had just outrun both Jadis and Drake and had somehow managed to get out of the library and back into the hallways of the Midairne castle. She wasn't too sure that being out in the open was such a good idea, but anything seemed better than being face to face with her father right now.

But now she found herself lost in the hallways of the castle instead of the library. Shit, she thought to herself.

"Serena!" shouted a voice.

"What?" she asked, spinning around to find the source, praying to whoever was looking out for her…or wasn't because she wouldn't have gotten into this mess if they were, that the person wasn't a vampire.

"Serena!" glared Alyssa. "What the fuck are you doing out of the library?"

"Um…"

"Whatever, come with me," she snapped, pulling the blond by her arm down the hallway.

Alyssa brought her to the nearest kitchen and placed a grilled cheese sandwich in front of her. "I don't have time for anything fancy."

Serena nodded her head and dug in, not having realized how hungry she was until that moment. "So, I'm really sorry about Michael being away for that much longer…" she started to say between bites.

Alyssa didn't say anything.

"I'm sure you two were close…"

"Look, Serena, Miss Golden Girl, I'm sure you're oh so sorry but do me a favor and shut up. I wasn't ordered to sit and have girl talk with you. Just eat and when you're done I'm bringing you to Jared."

Serena immediately closed her mouth. She had wanted to connect with Alyssa on some level, but if she was going to be a bitch…

As soon as Serena put the last piece of crust on her plate, Alyssa snatched it up and gripped her arm once again. She led her through the castle, passing her bedroom before continuing to Jared's. However, they stopped in front of William's feeding room.

"I don't think this is…"

Alyssa opened the door and practically shoved her through, slamming it as she walked back down the hall.

Serena frowned as she turned around. Then she felt herself want to hurl as she looked up into the room. It was like déjà vu. William sat on his bed, feasting on a man laid down face first on the bed. As the victim's head turned towards her she saw that his mouth had been sewed shut. Oh my god, she thought to herself in angered disbelief. There were so many cuts and bruises across the man's body, it looked like William had beat him before eating him. And then she heard whimpering and noticed a woman tied to a chair being forced to watch what was being played out.

Her face contorted in rage as she walked towards the captive. She was about to untie the woman when William was suddenly in front of her. "What do you think you are doing?" he asked dangerously.

She noticed for the first time that he was naked, as was the woman, but the man on the bed was fully clothed or would have been not for the rips and tares on them. "These are innocent people William," she hissed, drawing herself up to her full height. It didn't do much, he still stood quite a few inches taller than her, even though he was slouching.

"Actually, he's a pedophile, and she's a thief."

"You disgust me! Just because they've done awful things doesn't mean they deserve this! They deserved to be tried in a court of law! You're torturing them!"

"I thought you should be reminded of what I was Serena. It seemed like you forgot," he stated, an evil glint in his eye as he brushed a hair away from her eyes.

She slapped his hand away. "I would never forget what you are," she hissed. "You've always disgusted me."

"Then you can stand there and watch," he commanded. "I was going to make you participate, but if you really understand what it is to be a vampire, you can just stand there and do nothing."

Serena felt her legs stiffen and her eyes go wide as the pendant took its toll on her. She was cemented to the floor.

He smirked down at her and brought his hands to cup her face. He licked her bottom lip before placing a gentle kiss on her lips. She sneered at him as he walked back to the man. "Don't do it," she said.

"Or what? You'll just stand there helplessly?" he asked, picking up the man as if he were a rag doll and biting into his shoulder blade, splattering blood all over the woman tied in the chair. She screamed, as her naked body was drenched with the man's insides.

William dropped the man on the ground unceremoniously as he stepped towards the woman. Her screams grew in sound and pitch as he hovered over her. "Shut up!" he shouted, snapping the woman's neck. She was dead instantly and Serena watched, tears streaming down her face as he walked back to her.

He tilted her face up towards his. "Maybe one day you'll be feeding with me," he whispered, his blood soaked hands caressing up and down her face.

"I would never," she sobbed angrily.

"Never say never," was his reply as he possessed her mouth.
