Ch.1 Caryn
Caryn Smoke sagged into a chair and sighed. She'd been running around SingleEarth helping vampires, witches, and humans for several hours now. It was Christmas Eve and people were poring in for the party the staff at SingleEarth was throwing. Though she loved the celebration they threw every year she decided this time she'd just greet everyone then go home and rest. Preparing for tonight had been more tiring than usual. She'd been happy to let people ,who wanted to, help, but they had only ended up putting decorations in wrong spots, annoying the staff, and just make Caryn's day stressful.
She was startled from her rest by sensing three people peering at her. Three vampires was a more specific description of the beings before her. Three pairs of black eyes gazed at her, one held concern and the other two curiosity.
"Well I'm glad you three came. Merry Christmas." Caryn said cheerfully to Sarah and the siblings Kristopher and Nissa. The tall, blonde Sarah had once been a witch of the Vida line, daughter of Dominic herself. She had been changed by Kristopher only months before.
"We thought you might want some company." Nissa said. She, like her brother, was raven haired and fair but she was easier to understand then Kris or their brother Nikolas, Kris's twin. "Well sit down then. Company would be great. I plan to leave soon enough though."
"You now celebrate Christmas, Caryn? Is that something a wiccan should do?" A few months ago Caryn would have taken Sarah's comment as a bitter insult to all witches but now that she and Sarah got along she took it for the jest it was.
"Oh this is only to keep the regs happy." she said meaning humans when she said regs. Kristopher looked around his face relaxed but blank.
"I was surprised at how many vampires came." He said amicably.
"So were the members of my staff." She told him. She yawned loudly.
"You are bushed Caryn." Nissa said," Go home. Nothing bad will befall your precious, SingleEarth." Caryn, wanting to change the subject, not wanting to seem weak to the vampires, asked,
"And how is Nikolas?" There was a tense silence after her query. Caryn hated Nissa and Kristopher's brother because he drained his prey accept for those blood-bonded to him.
"He's at a party." Replied Nissa quietly.
"Killing some poor kid?" Caryn asked and Kristopher turned his head to look straight at her. A lesser person would have glared but he only looked at her questioningly.
"He only feeds on those who ask him to end their lives you know that." Nissa added then Sarah joined in.
"Caryn, you know I've had my run-ins with Nikolas but he isn't that bad if you at least try to understand him." Both Nissa and Caryn stared at her, though Kristopher seemed to have heard this before, he was smiling slightly. Sarah had once hated Nikolas and now she was standing up for him?! It was very confusing for the healer.
"Maybe you can justify his actions but I can't." Caryn told her. She got up and stretched then turned back to them.
"Look I'm sorry but to me Nikolas is a murderer. I'm going to go home. See you around." With that she began to walk away. She sensed them use their mental power to leave.
Climbing into her Trans Am, Caryn yawned again. She headed home dreaming of her head on her pillow. She barely remembered showering and getting into bed after she got home. Her head just hit her pillow and she was out.
Four hours later when she opened her eyes and gazed out her windows at the fading night she knew something was wrong. Two people were in her house, she could sense them. One was a vampire and the other was human. She had just gotten out of bed and thrown on a pair of jeans over her underwear and pulled her t-shirt that she slept in out of her pants when the vampire walked in. Caryn sucked in her breath. It was Nikolas. The vampires black eyes stared down at her.
"What are you doing here?" She demanded. She pushed past him into the living room. "Kristopher was busy so I brought Tess myself. Some witch broke up a party and beat Tess for standing between her and the vampire who bonded her." He explained as Caryn looked over the battered and beaten girl.
"What happened to the witch?"
"She got away after she killed the vamp. He was a fool to go up against that Vida, weakling that he was." Nikolas stated simply. Tess groaned and Caryn pushed her blonde hair off her bloodied face.
"She's beat up badly. Go over to the kitchen, through that door, and wet a rag with cold water. Ring it out before you bring it here." Nikolas silently complied. An hour later Tess was cleaned up. She had two bruised ribs, which had been broken and a gash all the way from her temple to her mouth on one side of her face, which now was scabbed over.
"I'll need to check up on her in a few days. Where are you going to bring her?" Caryn asked. She had been surprised that throughout Tess's healing Nikolas had spoken softly to the injured girl soothingly. Though when he looked at Caryn his face was blank and cool.
"She'll stay with me for now. I can bring her to you in a few days." Nikolas offered. Caryn shook her head.
"No. You might have to come to SingleEarth and that would not be good at all. I guess I'll have to go to Tess which is probably better anyhow because the less shimmering she does the faster she'll heal." Nikolas nodded understanding.
" Do you have someone who could bring you to the house?"
"I'll ask Kristopher, Nissa, or Sarah. If they're not around I'll just find some one else to bring me."
"Fine." Nikolas picked up Tess. "Three days then." And without another word they were both gone.
Caryn sighed.
"You could at least have said, Thankyou." She said to the air where the vampire had been a moment before. She yawned and headed back to bed. The healing had made her as tired as when she'd first gotten home.
