Fallen to Fate
Ch.3 Nikolas's P.O.V.
Hey you guys and gurls. Sry I haven't been on in forever. Here's the next
chappie. Hope you like.
Nikolas didn't go to sleep when he got back to his house after dropping of Caryn, the Smoke witch, at SingleEarth. Their conversation had lasted sometime in a debate-like forum. Her final comments to him had been of Kaleo and that had angered him. It brought back many memories he had thrown back into the darkest corners of his head. He had brought her back abruptly at the mention of Christine. He knew his sister and Sarah had told her some of his history but he disliked their big mouths at the moment.
Kaleo, that b*@s#@rd, had got what he deserved! He had taken Nikolas's father and hurt Christine. Christine was the person he really hadn't wanted to discuss. He had been attracted to two girls with that name and neither could ever be his. After a few hours lost in his memories of the time since the day he killed Christine, the day before his change, he got up and found Tess about to leave the house. She smiled at him blue eyes livelier than they had been after her fight. "Thanks for everything Nikolas. I'll see you around. Where is the next party going to be?" "Kaimadra's place. I'll tell Maguerite to pick you up if you want." He offered. "Okay." She walked out the door to a red mustang and got in.
Nikolas greeted his waiting brother as he entered the living room. He was glad to be near his twin again. "So how was Caryn's visit?" Kristopher asked him. "Tess is able to go out on her own so the check-up must have gone well. Though our conversation after that wasn't as nice." Kristopher just looked at him questioningly so Nikolas explained. "She can't see why Tess wants to be bonded again. She admonished me for draining my prey and brought up Kaleo and his torment of Christine." "Ahh" Kris said smiling. "All subjects that annoy you." "Well I've heard her type enough. They obviously don't know when to quit." Nikolas replied and picked up his brother's grin. "So where is Sarah and sis?" Nikolas asked. "Nissa is at New Mayhem with Sarah. Jessica and Sarah have hit it off which is kind of ironic considering that before they would have hated each other because of Dominique but now their hatred for her is what has made them friends." Nikolas thought about this. Kristopher spoke again shortly after. "You know I think Sarah has even gotten used to you. She backed you up when Caryn brought you up in a conversation a few days ago." Nikolas was surprised. "Really? Then you have my full permission to like the girl." He said teasing his brother. "Oh and who are you? My king and ruler?" Kristopher asked him. They shimmered and stood on the fringes of New Mayhem. "God knows you need one."Nikolas muttered loudly. Kristopher mock-glared at him.
As usual they were the cause of much gaping as they walked down the street towards Los Noches. How many twin vampires are there?
They entered the bar/club and headed for a table where Sarah, Nissa, and two others sat. The male vampire looked up at them first and nodded. His name was Aubrey and he was a powerful vampire of Silver's line. His t- shirt showed much of the tattoos on his arms. The female vampire sitting next to him was only changeling, Jessica.
The brothers pulled up chairs and said their "Hellos". Jessica turned to Nikolas as soon as he sat down and was settled in his seat. "So you ran into Caryn. And what do you think of her? If it wasn't for her I'd be ten feet under at this moment." Nikolas had heard this story but wanted to verify the story by asking the main character. "You are Caryn's friend then?" "Acquaintances shall we say?" Was her reply. "She has her reasons to hate me. She listed them for me only a few hours ago. She's pretty brave for a pacifist who would never fight a vampire." He commented. "Caryn ould surprise you. I've seen her twice since I was changed and she has become more confident since then. She obviously has changed if she gave you a piece of her mind." Jessica said thoughtfully. They all turned as Sarah began to chuckle. "Jessica you should have seen Fala. She walked in, took one look at you, and walked out. What have you been doing in the last few nights?" Jessica just grinned mischeviously. "You haven't heard then? Moira tried to ambush me so I put a blade into her #itch's heart. It happened two days ago." "And Fala didn't get Jagger to avenge hert?" Nikolas asked. "No. Jagger and Fala had a falling out and you'll never guess who he's with now." Aubrey interjected finally speaking. "Who?" Nissa asked him. "Risika." Aubrey said calmly. Sarah looked slightly stunned, Nissa amused, and the brothers' gazes met for a split second. 'Interesting.' Nikolas told Kristopher silently. 'I'm surprised it doesn't bug Aubrey more than this.' Was his brother's reply. Kristopher put the question to Aubrey. "We have no quarrel now. Jagger would only harm me if he thought I was a threat but she's proven she ban take care of herself against me." His voice held a slight bitterness which was understandable.
Nissa looked at Nikolas and when he noticed he returned her gaze. "What is it Niss?" he asked using a nickname from their childhood. "You seem preoccupied is all. What's up?" She asked. "Nothing. It's getting dark. I'd better head off. You two should come to a circuit party sometime." He offered Aubrey and Jessica. "Maybe another time. I have plans tonight." Jessica said and Aubrey also declined the offer. "I'll see you all later." Nikolas got up and left the bar. He shimmered outside of the bar to the slowly filling circuit party and sat down to wait awhile before tracking down a meal. He hadn't told his sister that his preoccupation was Caryn Smoke because he himself didn't understand why he was still thinking about her at all.
