Caryn got out of her car in front of Nissa's home. She was dressed in a dark green tank top and a pair of hip hugger jeans. She was around half and hour early but figured that atleast Nissa would be there. She still couldn't believe that she had accepted Nikolas's invitation to come. Even more unsettling was the fact that she was attracted to Nikolas. Knocking on the door she waited for someone to welcome her. It was Sarah who answered. The vampiress looked the part in a blood red tank top and black jeans.
"Hey Caryn. Come on in." Caryn smiled
"Hey Sarah."
"I was surprised when I heard that you were coming."
"I was surprised myself after accepting the invite." Caryn admitted truthfully. Nissa came over to them for a second to say Hello. She didn't stay long but went back to talk to a vampire sitting on the arm of her couch.
"Who's that?" Caryn asked Sarah and nodded towards the vampire.
"Oh that's Nathaniel. He's a mercenary that has a thing for Nissa. I guess the feeling is returned." Sarah said grinning. "Others should be coming soon enough. Make yourself comfortable for a sec while I go see what the Hell is taking Kristopher so long."
"Alright." Sarah dashed off and Kristopher soon came out of the room Sarah had headed into to say Hello before going to open the door for someone. It didn't take long for the house to fill up. The only problem was that the one vampire Caryn had been waiting to see hadn't shown up as of yet. Where was Nikolas?
She talked for a while with Jessica and a few people she knew and when she did run into Nikolas she wished that she hadn't. He was feeding and it didn't take more than a few seconds for Caryn to realize that even if he stopped at that moment the girl would still die of blood loss. Caryn did not want to see Nikolas draining somebody. She turned and headed for the door of the house. Nikolas placed the girl's body on the couch in the room they had been in and went after her.
"Caryn...." He started to say. They were alone in a room that he had gently pulled her into. Caryn was glad they were alone because she didn't want to make any type of scene.
"I thought you said this wasn't That type of party Nikolas. Goddess do you know how disturbing that was?" She was feeling slightly sick to her stomach and sat down hard on a chair.
"Well if you'd let me explain. Did you even get a good look at that girl? That wasn't your normal teenage kid Caryn. She was 16 and already she'd been beaten by her own father, thrown out of her house, and attacked by two men just yesterday." Caryn shuddered knowing what he meant by attacked. Nikolas came closer to her and put his hands on either arm of the chair. His eyes locked with hers.
"Her soul was already dead and gone Caryn. I jst ended her misery. Can you understand that? I had no intention of doing anything of that sort tonight. She showed up with one of my bonded who had found her curled up behind a dumpster." Caryn could see his reasoning but didn't say a word. She rose making him step out of her way and walked back to where the girl was. She knew that Nikolas was folowing right behind her.
The girl's hair was matted and filthy ful of lice and fleas. Her body was covered in dirt, cuts, and bruises. The look on her face was one of new found peace and contentment. Caryn could understand why Nikolas did what he had. She turned around to face him not knowing what to say. She didn't have to speak because as soon as she had turned around Nikolas kissed her and she returned the kiss.
After a few moments they stopped and looked at each other a little shocked. They both looked just a bit scared too but each of them wanted to repeat the experience. The silence became too much for Caryn who once again headed towards the door. Nikolas grabbed her arm, gently but firmly stopping her. She looked up at his face.
'I can not like a vampire. I can not believe that I did something so stupid.' She thought to herself. Obviously Nikolas heard because his soft answer rang through her head.
'Am I that bad of a person Caryn?' His voice was light and teasing but he was serious.
'Witches and Vampires don't mix Nikolas. You know that as well as I do.'
'My brother and Sarah obviously don't agree with that unwritten rule.' He said.
'I have no intention of becoming a vampire like Sarah did Nikolas and if I stay a witch only more troubles will come.' Caryn hated saying this because at the moment she wanted to feel Nikolas's strong arms around her again but she knew it wasn't right.
"I think you are just makig excuses Caryn." Nikolas said aloud. Caryn looked at him her eyes earnest.
"I wish I was Nik. Think of it this way. Dominique already hates me for creating SingleEarth. If she found out about this it would be icing on the cake. She would have a justifiable reason for, if not killing me, stripping my powers." Caryn shuddered at the thought. She'd would rather roast in Hell than have her powers stripped.
"Dominique is an insane hag." Nikolas remarked.
"Maybe so but she has control over her line and mine. I have to go. Tell Nissa and the others that I said Goodbye" She left and Nikolas held back from stopping her. Neither had noticed someone accidentally catching them kissing. If they had the member of SingleEarth would not have been able to make the call to Domonique Vida that she did. That phone call was sure to raise Hell in the very near future.
