A/N: Well, that was a long time to wait for an upload but here it is.

"Is there anything missing Ms?" the officer asked Tessa as the rest of the squad searched for clues. "No." Tessa answered 'Nothing that you need to know about.' "Well we'll clear out but call us if anything turns up missing?" the officer said leaving the room with his team. After they left she started to clean up the room when there was a knock on her door. "Come in."

J.R. opened the door and ran to Tessa. "Are you ok? What happened? Is anything missing?" "No J.R. I'm fine a little bit shaken but fine. What are you staring at?" Tessa said silencing him. "I never noticed that tattoo before in fact I didn't even see it last night." J.R. said peering at her neck, "In fact it looks like black marker." "What??!!" Tessa exclaimed incredulously running to the bathroom. She washed her neck and watched the "tattoo" wash off in the water. "Damn it" Tessa exclaimed, running out of the bathroom.

"What is it?" J.R. asked following Tessa. Tessa grabbed her cell phone and dialed her best friend and researcher, Colin. "Hey this is Colin, I'm not," Tessa listened to the machine before a groggy voice answered, "Who is it?" Colin asked sleepily.

"Hey Col it's me Tess, I was wondering if you could look up a vamp for me?"

"Okay give me the scoop."

"Look up this guy, Edge..."

"Ya mean the guy Edge that you work with, the one C. has a crush on?"

"The very same. Look way back, maybe to when vampires first came around. I think he's really old, I couldn't tell if he was one. well not really but I think he got into my mind."

"Okay, but you owe me one. Oh, by the way Zachary has been asking about you. What should I tell him?"

"Tell him just because my mom fell in love with one of his kind doesn't necessarily mean I will to."

"Okay, okay calm down. See ya toots."

"Don't call me that but I'll see ya" Tess hung up the phone and started to clean up. "Zack bugging' your friends again?" J.R. asked as he watched her slowly put her stuff away. "Yeah, I told him it wasn't gonna work out, but he insists we're meant to be together. I'm not going to make the same mistake mom did." Tessa's eyes formed tears at the horrifying memory of her mother and half sister in a puddle of blood. "You were fifteen. There was nothing you could have done, you didn't know." J.R. said softly. "I know." Tessa whispered and looked up at the clock, "Damn I'm late. Stacy is taking me shopping I'll see you later." "Remember to lock the door." He said leaving. "I will." Tessa said closing the door behind him.

Tessa got back at 10:00. Stacy and a few other Divas had taken her out to dinner and Tessa was exhausted. Shopping had been somewhat of a pain due to the fact that Erik required the divas to dress like sluts so it took a while but they all agreed that the things she chose were perfect. Not even bothering to take a shower she changed into her pajamas and slipped into bed. As her eyes closed she caught a glimpse of something out on her balcony.

Edge smiled as he watched the girl slip into a, so far, peaceful sleep. He walked into the room gracefully and quiet, like a cat or in this case a deadly panther, never taking his eyes off the sleeping beauty. "I was there that day too." He purred sitting down on the bed, stroking Tessa's hair, "Shall we return to that day?" Hey lay down beside her using his mind to bring her most hated memory back to life.

Tessa was ecstatic as she unlocked the door to her house in the Massachusetts suburbs. The most popular boy in her year had asker her to the dance. Her of all people. "Mom, I'm home." Tessa said dropping her bag on the floor, only to be answered in silence, "Mom?" She looked at the table next to the door and found a note. "Tessa, we're in the living room" it said in her mom's boyfriend's handwriting. "Ok guys what's going on?" she said walking into the living room. She screamed as she entered the living room. There lay her 2 year-old sister, dead, her neck broken. Next to her lay Mary, Tessa's mother, her neck slashed the blood pouring out onto the two dead bodies. She backed up into the wall, silent with shock. The sound of someone clearing their throat brought her back to her senses. She looked at the couch ant there sat James, her mom's boyfriend, he sat there casually as if the sight of his fiancé dead on the floor was an everyday thing. In his hand, a wine glass full to the brim with blood. James had dressed in the clothes he was wearing when Mary met him three years ago. His style: an early 20th century aristocrat. A black tux with deep red lining, a cape with a deep red underside and a black top hat which at the moment was resting on the end table next to the arm of the couch. Tessa had always admired his beautiful features: shoulder length black hair, black eyes, fair skin, a muscular build, and a whopping 6' 6'' in height. Now these features only frightened her.

"What have you done?" she stammered, her voice barley above a whisper. "I've only done you a little favor." he said in a tone that reminded her of Lestat. "What do you mean? I didn't want this." She said her voice now rising to a yell. "As true as that may be, this is better for our relationship." He said getting off the couch and stalking towards her. "What do you mean?" she whispered her anger turning back into fear. "Your mother had begun to bore me and Heather," he paused and looked at his daughter on the floor, "I have no need for a child in this world yet. But you, you have turned into quiet the young woman. Men must chase after you like hounds do a fox." He tugged on a belt loop on her jeans playfully. "Get away from me, and get out of my house." Tessa said forcefully, her teeth clenched. "We play first, my sweet." James said using his mind to lock every door in the house. In the blink of and eye Tessa was laying in the puddle of her mother's blood, her clothes gone, her hands chained to a leg of the couch, and James was on top of her, forcing himself inside her. Tears mixed with blood and Tessa gave in to the pain, in to James. She glanced at the window thinking she saw a face but there was nothing. Her voice, earlier had disappeared from fright, returned to her as fangs pierced her throat without the comfort of the vamp's mind, numbing the pain. Unbeknownst to Tessa someone had been out side the window, Edge. He could not and would not interfere. But this was his mind inducing the dream so.Tessa opened her eyes and no longer was it James on top of her but it was Edge. Then it was edge beating James, saving her. Then it was blackness.

Edge held Tessa as she whimpered in her sleep like a frightened child. "Soon you will know, kitten, soon you will understand why." He said getting up and leaving. "Sleep well, my kitten, sleep well and have rosy dreams."
