As you will later see, this chapter is set a few months after the previous one. That's because the bits in between then and now (in the story) would most likely be boring. Plus, I wouldn't have known what to write for them. I hopefully have written this chapter better than some of the rest. At the moment I am questioning my style of writing…its kind of annoying and repetitive.

Again, this is a short chapter but as the name says I don't have time to write at all due to my stinking exams. I should in fact be revising right now, except instead I am writing this. I know it took ages to update but the next update will probably take even longer. I am sorry I previously lied about the longer chapters. I am a bum face.

Pouring over the newly found map Dorian tried to remember which Safehouses they'd been through. It'd been months since he'd started off this campaign but it seemed like years. It was hard to remember what it had been like...before. Pulling out a different map he'd discovered in one of the many filing cabinets surrounding him he searched, looking for any notes, scribbled mark. Anything which would indicate where another Daybreaker safehouse was. He was sure that they were getting closer.

The loudening screams from upstairs told him that one of the group was bringing down a Daybreaker. Probably Eban. He seemed to do most of the dirty work. Right on cue, Eban appeared at the top of the stairs, dragging a dark haired witch behind him. She was screaming loud enough to be heard for miles so Dorian presumed she wasn't hurt too bad. As Eban dropped her on the floor, Dorian watched her struggle to stand. He could see that she'd put up a fight from the red marks and soon to be bruises all the way up her arm. She hadn't come willingly. Failing to stand, she crumpled up into a heap on the floor.

Crouching down so that he was nearer her height, Dorian looked at her closer, trying to figure out why she seemed so familiar. The lashed out her arm, presumably trying to injure him somehow, but Dorian caught it then stared at her. Deya. The one Michael had gone off with. He'd been trying to leave. Go to the Daybreakers or something. It'd been the girls fault…she'd talked him into it. A distant image of Brianna being dragged away into the darkness by the witch flickered in his find. The girl; she'd been the one who had taken Brianna away. It was her fault. Deya had seen the recognition in his eyes as he realised who she was.

Standing up again, he looked down at her, a cold hatred in his eyes. Before he would have hesitated in killing her, then leaving her dead corpse to rot, but he couldn't know. He'd seen Brianna's goodness, saw the light within her which made her who she was and realised his own light was burning out. Brianna had been repulsed by his darkness, the evil within him so he'd had to change. For her. He wanted to leave his darkness behind.

"Where is he?" Dorian couldn't help the menacing tone of his voice. He'd wait to long. He had to find him.

"What ever do you mean?" Deya replied, watching his fierce stare with her own.

"Don't play games that you can't win Witch," He replied then nodded towards Eban to leave. "Lukas. If you don't help me find him, I might just decide to find your pretty boy soulmate instead. So make your choice."

"Lukas?" Deya's surprise was genuine though Dorian failed to realise. "I don't even know. He's with one of the Daybreaker attack teams trying to-"

Realising she'd already said to much Deya cut short, silently cursing herself for her mistake.

"Trying to hunt me down." Dorian smiled to himself and stifled back a laugh. They didn't have a chance. He had some of the world's best trackers and fighters with him, helping to find Lukas. Every Daybreaker Safehouse they'd hit so far had all the occupants memories of the attack erased with no witnesses as yet to what had happened. The Nightworld had even attempted to find them out with no avail. The elite fighters left no trace of their attacks and killed no one. The only things they took were the maps from the Daybreaker Safehouses which they used to find out their next target. Always searching. Always hunting.

"Look, I'm going to find him anyway. You might as well speed up the process a bit. I may even let him have a quick death," That was a lie. There was no way Lukas was going to be shown any mercy. Dorian was going to kill him in the most painful and agonising way possible. "Just tell me where he is."

The silence told him all he needed to know. Swiftly entering her mind Deya was unconscious before she knew it. Wiping her memory, he carried her up to the room where the rest of the Daybreakers where scattered about the floor in a similar state of unconsciousness. Returning downstairs Dorian returned to the map, at last finding a faint black scribble indicating where another Daybreaker Safehouse was. They'd hit most of the Safehouses on the coast but this one was further inland then the others had been. Preparing to set off once more, Dorian packed up the map and went off to find the others. They were getting closer. He could tell.

Author notes:

Incarnated-soul: Ah ha! So you picked up on the Brianna Lukie Poo thing. You're a sharp one! I'd tell you who fancies who but I wouldn't want to spoil the story for you. Hopefully it's going somewhere though… Anyway, did you think I made Ash seem like Ash or not? I'm not sure….Oh well.
Oh yeh! I thought up a reason for the whole soulmate link thing and knowing if they're dead or not. Because Dorian and Brianna haven't kissed yet I've decided that means the soulmate link is properly established so Dorian doesn't know that she isn't dead. Poor Dorian.
I am sorry for taking 10 million years to update. Shame on me.
Who do you prefer, Dorian or Lukie Poo? And out of L.J.Smith guys who is your fave? Mine's Julian.
Anyway, thanks for reviewing!

Gi Xian: The characters aren't character from a book. I made them up! So you needn't have read the night world books to know Dorian and Lukas. So who's your fave? El Loopy prefers Lukas. By the way, I tried to send you an e-mail a while back cause your review had said you had tried to e-mail me. So don't get freaked out if you get an e-mail from as it is just me. I hope you don't now think I'm stalkery! Anyway, I hope you review your other story soon cause it's sehr good!

darkness-lioness: Yup, Brianna is a bit Rashely but I dont think Dorian is that much like Quin. Thanks for saying the book is good! Originally I said some where it was based on the book 'The Chosen' so sorry for taking that off. Thank you so much for reviewing! And constructive criticism is always welcome. You're obviously a smart one for noticing the similarities between Brianna and Rashel. I hope you like this chapter too!
