"I didn't bring any makeup with me" Antonia stated.

"Pardon love?" Alaric/Klaus asked turning back to look at her confusion written all over his face.

"You're holding my chin so tight I can already feel the bruise forming" her voice was small and timid but her face showed no signs of fear as if this wasn't a new situation that she found herself in. Alaric/Klaus let go of her chin, there was a distinct purple hue forming on her chin along her jaw. "I just thought I should inform you as I know Katherine doesn't like it went I go out looking beaten on, it reflects badly on her and I can only guess that you'll feel the same way"

Clasping his hands behind his back he took Antonia in. "Does she beat you often?"

Holding his gaze Antonia answered, "When I go against the rules" Her gaze dropped and she shifted on her feet. Katherine's glare from across the room could start a fire.

"She is nothing but a play thing, kill her and get it over with" Katherine said in attemptent to cover up her strict hold on the girl, she knew Klaus was truly intrigued by the girl but hoping his impulses would cause him to act rashly.

" 'Rin!" Antonia said in horror.

"Yes 'Rin" Alaric/Klaus mocked as he stalked towards Katherine. Slamming her against the wall yet again he locks eyes with her, "Tell me what is she to you"

"A bargaining chip, for you for my life"

"Looks like you just lost your bargaining chip" He said with a snap of Katherine's neck. Antonia jumped at the sound of her best friend hitting the floor but kept her eyes on the floor. "Now what to do with you?" Alaric/Klaus said as he walked over to her, not caring that he stepped in the remaining blood on the floor on his way. Keeping her head down Antonia looked up from under her lashes. She silently prayed to the God's above that this time she would truly go but she knew that was pointless as she was cursed till the end of time.

"Why so jumpy darling?" was the last thing he said before he sunk his fangs into her neck, completely draining her as she was called into unconsciousness.

Antonia's POV

I could feel myself slowly beginning to wake up, I couldn't move my body yet but I could begin to hear what was going on around me. There was some shuffling around as if someone was pacing back and forth. I tried to focus on the voices, eventually Katherine's voice came into focus.

The start of the conversation wasn't coming through to me but I could piece together what she was telling, my life story to this complete stranger! Oh this was sooo not okay with me, she knew that I wasn't ready to open about that part of my life with others.

"after Ayana turned her, she thought that she was unsuccessful. Antonia did not have any blood lust so she left her to die in the woods."

"She has no blood lust?" His curiosity was evident.

"No, none at all. She does drink it when she is around vampires to blend it, it's an acquired taste. Anyways Antonia has been living here and there around the world, the most of the time she was homeless until about four years before I came along and found her. She had started singing in order to get better tips on the street and eventually she got a gig singing in a club that's where I found her."

"What is she?"

"I have no idea."

"Interesting, an immortal little girl who doesn't need blood to sustain herself"

I must have groaned because the next thing I knew was a hand was cradling my neck and another was helping me sit up. My eyes fluttered open my body was still not reactive just quite yet. " 'Rin" my voice came out shaky and groggy as I felt myself being propped up against a hard couch? My mind was still foggy but noticing that Katherine was seated on the couch in front of me I could only infer that this hard couch back I was leaned against wasn't a couch back at all but Alaric's chest. I had no choice as control and mobility of my body hadn't fully come back yet but to lean back into Alaric's embrace.

"Darling do tell, what are you?" I could feel his warm breath on my cheek. It would be almost soothing if he hadn't drained me just a short time before.

"I don't know" I choked out, my eyes stayed on Katherine's pleading for her to help me.

"Let's try this again, I am Klaus, given that you're close with Katherine and the fact that your heart rate increased I take it you've heard of me. Great now tell me what you are" He said as his hand snaked around my waist pulling my back harshly against his.

"I really don't know, I'm sorry"
