Disclaimer: I do not own Christopher, Nikolas, Sarah, or Nissa. I wish I did because that would be so kewl and I would actually make some new friends.

I would like to say sorry for not updating recently...I have been busy and my emotions would have really thrown this story off the road if I wrote when I was at the highest emotional peak ever. At time it is really sucky to be the kind of person that wants everything to be all flowers and sunshine.

On with Chapter 13...

Lost Hearts

Christopher tried to get a message to Nissa through his thoughts but he couldn't. Dominique's spell from the cemetery made him too weak. She obviously knew what she was doing and wasn't kidding about killing him either. He watched her mix and match her potions into numerous viles. Books were scattered throughout the table and even some on the floor.

He sat there upon the floor and his arms were strung high from the chains. He felt like he was in his internal hell. He was away from his family, Lily, and what hurt most of all was that his first love's mother is obsessed with his death.

Dominique looked at Christopher and saw nothing but a pale, blood sucker who had ruined her daughter's life. She wanted nothing more then to have his body lay restless on the floor. She would stop at nothing to make sure that he paid for what he had done.

"I can see that you are hungry," she said with a slight smile.

"Not at all," he tried to cover up the fact that he was.

"Well...if this works then you might not have to worry about sucking anyone's blood for a long time."

Dominique was walking towards him with a vile full of a rosey, pink liquid. The only way it would work is if he had ingested it and all of it.

"Open up..." she said as she walked towards Christopher and attempted to make him drink.

"You honestly think that I am that idiotic to just open my mouth and swallow something that may very well kill me?" he had a sly smirk when he said that.

"Hmmm...I don't think I can get you to drink it but maybe..." Dominique words drifted off when she went up the stairs and out of the room.

Christopher let out a sigh of relief and knew that for now he was safe from anymore harm. He tries to get up and just collapses once he reaches his feet. He knew that he was completely drained and that there was no help for him.

On the streets...

Lily and Nissa were searching for any signs for Christopher, Nikolas, or Sarah. They wanted to find something so they would know that he was okay. Lily was holding one of her crystal, prism amulets to see if she can pick up any of their energies.

"Anything?" asked Nissa getting more worried with every step.

"Nope. Not a thing..." Lily was disappointed as well until, "...look!"

Lily had spotted a women who appeared to be bleeding next to a tree. They rushed over to her and saw that she was badly bitten.

"What happened? Are you alright?" asked Nissa as she tried to lean the woman against the tree.

"A man or whatever he was had bit me. He said his name was..." the woman died before she could finish her thought.

"No! I pray that Christopher had no part in this," said Nissa trying to keep a good attitiude.

Lily looked down and saw that there was a trail of foot prints leading into the cemetery.

"Nissa, lets follow them," she said as she pointed down.

"Alright..."

They followed the foot steps all the way to the mausoleum and went inside.

"OMG!"

Nissa ran to Nikolas's limp and cold body.

"Please wake up! Wake up!" she frantically pushed his lifeless body.

Lily just stood there and looked at the body thinking that it was Christopher. She had never met Nikolas nor did she know that Christopher had a twin.Lily was just stunned and didn't move an inch from where he stood.

Nissa wept on his body and cried out, "Nikolas why are you laying here colder then ever? I hope Christopher is okay and that we meet again as the happy family we once were."

Lily looked down and questioned the fact that she said Nikolas. She let out a breath of relief that it wasn't Christopher.

"Why does he look like Christopher?"

Nissa looked back at Lily and realized that she had no clue Christopher had a twin.

"I guess in all this mess I never told you that Nikolas was Christopher's twin and my brother," Nissa walked towards Lily and wiped the tears off her own cheeks.

"Oh...I thought...well...you know what I thought. Lets go and see if we can find Sarah and Christopher."

They left the tomb and kept silent for a while. Nissa felt crushed that Nikolas was now dead but she still had a feeling that Christopher didn't kill his own brother. They are so close even if one is evil and she knew that the last thing he would do is kill his family.

I hope he is alright, thought Lily.

Nissa heard her thought and nodded.

"I hope we will find him soon," said Lily as she raised the amulet once again.

"Me too."

In the basement...

Christopher was left alone for about two hours. He was weak, tired, and starting to think that this was his end. He had no way of getting in touch with Nissa or Lily and he didn't know where he was exactly.

He shut his eyes and tried to gain some strength and then he heard footsteps.

"I have a surprise for you and I think you may like it," said Dominique smiling.

Just then he glanced at the top of the stairs. His mouth had dropped and a tear came strolling down his left eye.

"Hello," said the person walking down the stairs over to Christopher.

"I will leave you two alone," said Dominique as she walked out of the room and locked the door.

Christopher dropped his head and let out another tear but from his right eye. It feel onto the floor as his head was being raised by a soft hand.

"Why won't you look at me?"

"Because I know that I am not going to live long enough for you to hurt me," he said while trying to look back down.

"You are so weak," the person said sympathetically.

"I found someone else..."

"I know that is why I am here and that is the real reason why my mother is doing this to you. That is how you hurt me."

He looked up at her and saw the same beautifuk being he onced loved dearly.

"Sarah, you are always in my heart."

She looked at him and saw that he was sincere.

"I can't change my mother's mind about this. You know that once she has her mind set on doing something she follows through," said Sarah as she walked over to the table.

"I realized that since I was brought here."

Sarah walked back over to him and unchained his wrists.

"There atleast now you won't be so uncomfortable," she said when she saw the pain in his face.

"What are you going to to with me now?" he asked not knowing what to think anymore.

"Well you will just have to see now won't you?"
