Chapter 3 - Syn's Confession
"What are you after?" Lucian repeated and Syn gulped.
"Nothing you'd be interested in, Lucian." Syn replied, looking down and clasping her hands, tightly.
"I'll only know that if you tell me what it is." Lucian told her and she nodded.
"I'm. . .after a girl that. . .I don't know! She reminds me of me when I was younger, you know? I want to help her, but her parents called in the Death Dealers and I was nearly killed." Syn said and then she whispered. "I was so close. So close."
((Flashback))
Syn was only about 24-years-old, lying on the floor with blood trickling out of her nose. She was wearing rags and felt like dying. She had been horribly beaten by her Vampire captors.
"Syn?!" She a male voce choke out, then, she heard rushed footsteps coming closer.
The man knelt down beside her and picked her up, laying her head in his lap.
"What happened?" He asked and Syn, slowly, opened her eyes.
"Viktor disagreed with the way I addressed him. He'll kill me, Lucian, I just know it!" She choked out, worriedly.
"Not as long as I'm around, he won't." Lucian hissed and he pulled her up into a sitting position.
Lucian tugged her collar to one side and looked up at the window. Outside, the full moon rose in the night sky. He, painfully, began to change and Syn listen in pain as he groaned.
Once his transformation was over, Syn felt the Lycan chest on her back and she tensed up a bit, knowing he was going to do something to her.
He did, he bit her, making her cry out in pain all over again. Blood poured out from between his teeth as he dug his fangs into her.
Syn's eyes began to slide closed, once more, and she passed out before he unclenched his jaws around her shoulder.
((End Flashback))
"Why are they so cruel?" Syn whispered and Lucian looked at her, also, remembering what had happened that day so long ago.
"I don't know, but you didn't deserve what they did to you. You didn't even need to be there." Lucian said and Syn nodded, looking lost.
"You didn't either. No Lycan deserves the cruelty of the Vampires. Even Sonja didn't deserve what she got." Syn whispered and Lucian's face darkened.
Syn looked up at her sire and looked down, quickly. She could see the longing on his face. She shouldn't have mentioned Sonja.
"I'm sorry." Syn whispered and Lucian, finally, looked her in the eye.
Lucian could see that she was scared and felt alone. It was the scarred look he tried to rid her of, but knew he wouldn't succeed.
"Don't worry yourself over it. What's done is done and there's nothing we can do about it." Lucian said and Syn looked down at the floor. "Why are you after this girl?" He whispered and she closed her eye, squeezing them shut.
"She's too much like me. Her family is abusive! She came to me and I want to help her. No one wil stop me from getting this girl back where she belongs." Syn said and she opened her eyes, revealing a new fire in them. "The Death Dealers will all die out before I let Rita down!"
Elsewhere. . .
Rita was in bed, trying to sleep without being plagued by the nightmares of Syn's past. She hated having to live with the horror of Syn's life. It was awful.
Syn was beaten and tortured by the Vampires and knew that she would die sooner or later.
'But why now?! After so long why did she have to go now?! She was trying to help me! I was going to live with her, be part of her pack!' Rita screamed in her mind.
Syn was a human captive of the Vampires when she was younger. Her whole family was, but they were killed shortly after Syn was turned into a Lycan. The Vampires were furious about the fact that she had been turned by a Lycan and hurt her even more.
"Syn is stronger than that. She must be alive." Rita whispered, tears falling down her cheeks.
In the library. . .
Hermione was in the library, looking through random books, Invisibility Cloak clasped around her.
'Where have I heard the name 'Syn' before?' She asked herself as she flipped through a book. 'Aha! There it is!'
'Syn was one of the most powerful Lycans, werewolves, of the century. Her sire, Lucian, was of equal power, if not more powerful than this Lycan. Syn was a prisoner of the Vampyres, as was Lucian. Lucian made her when the two were in Vampyre captivity. She rebeled against the Vampyres after the Vampyre leader, Viktor, had killed his own daughter, Sonja, who was carrying Lucian's baby.' Hermione read and she looked saddened afterward.
'How horrible. Viktor killed his own daughter.' Hermionethought and she put the book away and went back to Gryffindor tower.
Back with Lucian and Syn. . .
Syn stood up and put her jacket back on. She had a determined look on her pale face and she was ready to rip off the face of the first Vampire she saw.
"Where do you think you're going?" Lucian asked, getting up from his spot, looking at his fledgling quizzically.
"I'm going to get Rita and either come back here, or go back to my pack." Syn said, pulling her gloves on.
"I'm coming with you. I won't have you get hurt again and possibly die!" Lucian said, grabbing her arm nd she turned to look at him.
He was sincere, she could tell. He wanted to help her, but she didn't know why.
"Why do you want to help me?" Syn asked and Lucian let her go.
"Because no one deserves to be hurt like you were. If it's as bad as you said, I don't want this girl around the Vampires. They more than likely know that it was you that is after her." Lucian replied and Syn nodded.
"They do. One threw me out of the train window and left me to die, but there was some regret in his face. Like he didn't want to do it, but had to." Syn said. "I just hope we get there before anymore Vampires decide to arrive."
