(

The plane had landed hours ago but because of her crying during the whole plane trip she had many of the other passengers trying to do what ever they could to help her feel better.

Some one offered her a free ride home others gave her what they could. She felt so embarrassed but at the same time she was great full for the attention. It helped calm her painfully beating heart.

Curled up on the couch in her big sadly in need of fixing house she laid there. All cried out and painfully wishing she could feel Janevons arms wrapped about her right now just so he could take the pain away.

And then she remembered that she wasn't his lifemate… no matter how much she wished and prayed to god… she wasn't his. She couldn't keep thinking about him or wish for his presence… but thoughts like that seemed impossible as her heart clenched painfully at the thought of his absence.

"Janevon…" She whispered softly into the quickly darkening room. She hadn't bothered to turn on the lights and as the sun set, her house began to darken little by little. The darkness seemed the perfect atmosphere at the moment. That's when she started crying the tears she thought she had finished crying. With no one there and the room swiftly darkening she was finally alone to start crying again but this time not held back and behind a barrier protecting her neighbors from experiencing the same emotions.

The time seemed to fly by swiftly as the only light shining in her room was from the street lamps shining through her windows. It seemed that she had cried about the last of her tears and had non left and that's when she lifted her eyes to look at the clock. It was 1 AM.

"I need to get to bed…" She said softly her voice raw from the constant crying she had endured. She wasn't usually this weak… but some how… she had been crying pretty heavily the past few weeks. She was becoming a watering pot it seemed. Smiling softly despite the pain still quite evident in her heart she started to push herself up from her couch when she noticed something darker than the rest of the room slip in.

The very feel of it was dark… almost like the vampire that had killed Nicole as if the two vampires had been connected some how… but it felt stronger. She had absolutely nothing to battle it with she thought as her eyes watched the black mist form into a tall decomposing disgusting looking being standing in the middle of her living room.

And from the looks of things he didn't look very happy…

Her mind swiftly searched for anyone anything that could help her. Oh how she wished that Janevon was here right now.

Nittia! A voice rang through her head beautiful and velvety soft to hear, it could be no other than Janevon. But that couldn't be true since he was still in the mountains… perhaps she was dreaming.

The vampire started coming towards her its blood stained fangs gleaming in the light from the street lamps.

"W…who are you?"

The vampires' pit-less eyes just stared at her for a while as if pondering if it should respond, it seemed to be analyzing her up and down, "I am your savior" His voice sounded as if it was trying to sound melodic and beautiful but sounded more like a swarm of flies trying to speak.

"Savior?... Savior of what?" The very idea that this thing could be the savior of anything was utterly disgusting.

"I will save you from your pain and sadness." He lied, "Save you from the beings called vampires."

It dawned on Nittia that the vampire probably didn't realize it looked so disgusting or that its voice was utterly nauseating to listen to.

"Vampires?" She was stalling for time… she didn't really know why she should bother. Some how the thought of death was very appealing at the moment, but then again she'd read enough to know that she wouldn't die… at least not yet. It would be a slow torturous death for her if he bit her.

Again her mind searched the area for anyone and this time she found some one. More importantly she sensed Janevon. Janevon! She cried out to him through his mind. His response caught her off guard Nittia! I've been trying to contact you for so long, Trying to find you! Where are you?! He sounded so frantic with worry and relief.

I'm in my house… She paused not wanting to mention the big tall vampire in her home probably about to make a meal of her or 'try' to turn her into his lifemate. Of course his poisoned and tainted blood would change her… but it would drive her insane and she would become a Vampriss.

Janevon picked up her thoughts and nearly exploded, the beast in him ragging out in anger and fear as it tried to envelope him; anger at any vampire that would dare to touch his lifemate, and fear that he would loose her before he could undo his idiotic mistake.

We'll be there as fast as we can He told her trying to keep the beast in check as well as his emotions, Keep him stalled as long as you can. He hated being so far away from her. Janevons flight grew faster as his father adjusted to the speed continuing to fly along side him.

As she had been talking with Janevon the vampire had gone on and on about the vampires calling themselves Carpathians and how they were evil and fed off of humans. It took Nittia some effort not to roll her eyes at the blatant lies. She knew that she should be terribly frightened at the moment… and she was… but she was never one to let fear control her actions.

She nodded her head a few times as he continued to babble on silently praying that Janevon would be here soon. Unfortunately the vampire finally finished and started it's menacing steps towards her. She pulled back pushing away from him only to be stopped by the couch behind her.

"What's wrong?... are you afraid?" his cold sarcastic voice rolled from his tongue as the vampire paused tilting his rotting head a little.

He was still trying to play her protector it seemed.

"I…" She couldn't think of anything to say to that.

The vampire frowned menace seeming to stem off of him, "You knew the whole time" he spit, "You little whore." He did not sound happy.

"K…know what?" She stuttered cursing herself silently. He would tell she was frightened and lying just from that reaction!

He frowned glaring at her evilly as he closed the gap between them swiftly and painfully gripping her hands and holding them above her head, "You've been with him too."

"Him?..." She winced as his rotted and decayed nails bit into her flesh.

"The one who killed my partner, I was using him to do my dirty work. And now I'm left to get them myself… your blasted Carpathian friend has pulled me out of hiding." He spat in her face and then grinned.

"But I'll get my revenge… "He lowered his head to her neck, his smell causing her to gag.

Nittia closed her eyes praying that he would kill her swiftly. The vampire's mouth was touching her neck when two Carpathians materialized in her living room emanating power… and righteous wrath.

The sight in front of Janevon filled him with so much anger his eyes burned with rage.

Pausing the vampire lifted his head to find he was no longer alone with his prey. Nittia would have tried to get away then if it weren't for her arms begin held painfully locked in the vampires hands. Not wasting a minute, Janevon swiftly flew across the room towards the vampire ripping it away from Nittia. This vampire was old… and if any other young hunter had faced this ancient he would have been dead in a matter of minutes.

But Janevon wasn't any normal young hunter; he was the son of Gregori the dark one. The vampire hissed at Gregori not liking that there were two hunters here; swiftly he turned into a dark mist flying out of the house.

Janevon growled, the beast within him demanding he follow the trail and kill the vampire that dared to lay a hand on Nittia. The feeling of his father's immense strength almost physically shaking him brought him to his senses as well as the image of Nittia laying on a heap on the ground.

"Nittia!" swiftly Janevon went to her side and gently lifted her light body into his arms. His heart clenched with worry that he had been to late, that he had emotionally hurt his lifemate and she had been left to die. Grief overwhelmed him and he fought back tears, her body felt too limp in his arms as if she was dead or close to it.

Only the beating of her heart beat allowed him the assurance of knowing she was still alive. Nittia… his voice was soft and warm flowing through her mind. Her soft beautiful eyes flittered open revealing pain filled violet eyes.

"Janevon" she breathed, sounding like he was the air she breathed. He could see the pain in her eyes as recognition hit her, he didn't understand why he hadn't noticed it before but Nittia had been struggling with their bond. He read the thoughts that filtered through her mind as she remembered the very reason she was in pain. She had left for him… thinking that she was not his lifemate.

His heart clenched again in pain with the knowledge that he had caused this. "Nittia…" his voice was close to a whisper but he knew she could hear him, "I'm sorry…"

"Janevon…" her beautiful voice was etched with confusion and pain, "What… what do you mean?..."

Gregory stood there a reminder that there was a vampire in need of being hunted. He had been patient but if they waited any longer they may loose the trail. He cleared his voice knowing that the action would be more than enough to remind his son of what needed to be done.

Janevon sighed; lifting himself and Nittia effortlessly up, walking towards the couch and settled her down carefully.

"I will explain when I return… then…" his strong large hand stroked the side of her face lovingly and gently his eyes echoing the immense love he felt welling in his heart, "Be safe love…"

He turned towards his father, Gregory nodded in answer to Janevons unspoken question and they both seemed to dissolve and disappear. Still confused Nittia lay there on the couch her mind racing over what had just occurred. She had almost died… Janevon and some other Carpathian had shown up in her living room and scared it off, and now Janevon just called her 'love'.

That small hope of Janevon being her lifemate was slowly starting to begin growing once again. She shook her head sorrowfully refusing to believe in such nonsense once again.

"I'm going crazy…" she muttered out loud into the echoing darkness.

Janevon needed to move quickly, he had spent precious time seeing to Nittia as the vampire had flown farther and farther away. The vampire had hidden himself in a section of nothingness were he would be laying a trap for the two hunters.

Be careful Janevon Gregory cautioned as they grew nearer to the vampire's location, Unlike before he is now expecting us. There will be traps

Janevon acknowledged the comment but made no move to say anything as he focused his mind on finding and planning ahead on what the vampire might do.

A cloud of poisoned acid flew their way rapidly growing closer. Janevon took care of it with a swish of his hand and watched as the wind he'd created destroyed the poison and the cloud poured out harmless water onto the earth. He could feel the frustration of the vampire and knew from experience it would be trying much harder things next.

A swarm of flesh eating locusts, their thousands of wings beating against the air with a wave of sound as they neared, and once again Janevon took care of them with barley a second thought. Then Janevon and Gregory dipped down in the air towards the vampires hiding spot and they could feel his desperation as he threw countless attacks and traps their way being deflected easily by Janevon with Gregory standing back watching his son fight.

Their feet landing on the ground silently walking towards the vampire as it tried in vain to keep them away. After about the 10th trap and attack being deflected easily by the youngest Carpathian the Vampire had started to panic, and now he was a complete wreck. In a blink of an eye Janevon had the vampires poisoned and black heart in his hands still pumping franticly as it began to burn. Gregory watched as the vampire followed the example of it's heart soon becoming a pile of ash to be scattered by a fresh cool breeze.

"Very nice. You've improved this past decade."

Janevon smiled, overjoyed with the ability to actually FEEL happiness at his fathers praise.

"Thank you father."

Gregory paused lifting his head to the sky as if listening, a small smirk made it's way onto his face quickly disappearing as he turned his head back towards his son. "It seems your sister has gotten to your lifemate."

Janevon sighed, loving his sister but still feeling a slight annoyance at his sister butting in. In some ways Janevon and Jessica still acted like children… and in a way compared to the other Carpathians, they were children or at least teenagers.

Gregory could only smile on the inside as his lifemates comment a few years ago flittered through his mind, "Your children seem to have turned you into a pile of mush." Not that she didn't have the same effect on him, they were the few that ever saw the soft side of the him.

Janevon was in flight already hurrying back towards Nittia wishing he was there right now.

Nittia had been laying on the couch to weak and hurting to move from her spot. The vampire may have thrown her carelessly aside but to her poor frail human body it had been similar to being a frail glass statue being thrown to the ground. She was sure a few bones in her body were broken and she was probably bleeding on the inside.

Her vision wasn't doing to good either so when a dark figure appeared in her vision she had first through that the vampire had turned around and came back to finish her off while Janevon and the other Carpathian were busy. The lights in her room came on, at first blinding her. When Nittia's eyes had adjusted she saw a beautiful woman standing next to her. The black hair and the shape of her face reminded Nittia so much of Janevon but only in female form. The woman would never beat Janevon in ways of beauty and sexiness but she wasn't too far off.

Jessica frowned examining the extensive wounds that Janevons life mate had accumulated and immediately sent a message to her father raging at him about Janevon leaving his lifemate when she needed him. She looked down at Nittia who seemed at the moment to be having trouble focusing on anything. With a deep sigh Jessica sat down to start healing some of the wounds from the inside out.
