Authors Note- Righty… um… Why Don't You People Bloody Review? It's not that hard you click the review button and tell me what you liked or want to know. It's mean most of the people who have reviewed are my friends. And ya know it really sucks that half you people are to lazy to Review. Annoying random person taps me on shoulder "Are you done ranting?" Smile cheerfully "Me? Ranting? I do not think so. Remember I do own all the Amelia Atwater-Rhodes characters most especially Aubrey my beloved!" Orderlies jump from around the corner led by creepy businesswoman "You do not own Aubrey or any of the other characters, minus Arlon, Alexandria and Coren. Give up and we won't lock you away for too long." I shake my head innocently and sigh "It is you who are mistaken I do own Aubrey." One of the men bring out a straight jacket "Meep! That doesn't look too good. Where are you Aubrey, or at least Oliver (Who can get himself out of straight jackets I wonder how he got in that practice hmmm…) HELP!"

Chapter Three

Crack…. The sound of flesh hitting flesh echoed through the forest. Her eyes glare him piercing him with daggers. Her hand stung, she had just slapped Arlon Silver. By the way he would be about Aubrey, my beloved why did you leave, strength "How dare mock me and presume to understand the situation." She yelled seething with anger that the rented to break loose of her control. Arlon chuckled "What is there to understand?" he asked coolly "Nothing. Your just a fool little girl who killed a weak vampire. You are nothing." he punctuated his statement by spitting at her feet. "No you are the fool. You have no business with me Leave me be." She said as she attempted to walk away. As he grabbed her arm to stop her Alex drew her knife. He reacted by catching her wrist with remark able delicacy considering he could easily break her wrist. After all, for a witch she was only averagely strong but she was fast but not fast enough for a vampire.

"You don't want to fight me." He said dangerously. He was wrong she wanted to fight him and wipe that dangerous look of his face. Some where in the back of her mind she knew it was the adrenaline, but she pushed that thought aside. She tossed up her dagger using it as a distraction as he caught it she punched him as hard as she could in the stomach. Arlon lashed out with his power striking her in the abdomen, making her double over in pain. "You weak little mortal, you are nothing." That was the last straw. She ran towards him pushing him back with all her strength knocking him into a tree. This caused the dagger to be tossed from his hand and slice along his jaw line leaving a thin line of blood. "Ha" She said, "I guess I'm not so weak after all I just drew blood!" Her self-satisfied smirk faded as her words hit her I just drew blood. Damn it all! Arlon is right I am a fool. Think- she took an involuntary step back wards tree. He was shocked for only a moment I need to think faster.

She looked down at her still out stretched fist, the faint traceries of blue-purple veins. Blood. That's it. He walked forward slowly she could see her death or worse in his black eyes. Arlon did not stop untill if he still breathed, his breath would have warmed the skin on her face. "I've drawn blood." She said thought her voice sounded confident but underneath it wavered. "I offer some of my own as compensation. Fair deal?" Fine! He said malisashily into her mind. Your blood is mine. She offered him her outstretched hand but he used it only to bring himself closer. One of his arms slid around her waist supporting her, the other brought her neck closer to him. His fangs slid gently into her neck but not with out a warning lance of pain saying in its self 'move and you will regret it.' Fangs? She wondered was she not floating on the clouds gently as she fell asleep. No, no, no! This is not right her mind screamed. Arlon' laugh whispered through her minds semi-consciousness. She felt her life began to slip away. Her body unconsciously tensed as if preparing to strike. Let go. Let go. Let go. Your killing me!

She felt his fangs pull out. She slid down agents the tree breathing "I… You… You almost killed me!" Alex stuttered out. Arlon had the gall to smile wolfishly and lick a stay blood droplet of his lips. Her blood. She tried to stand up using the tree to support her. If she did not want any more trouble, she would have to leave now. "Your blood tastes exquisite and it's so… unique." He said as Alexandria attempted to walk away only to find out her legs would not cooperate. "Mayhap I will have to relive you of some more, soon." After he spoke this, she heard Arlons voice whisper into her mind You know you not much of a Smoke. You'll be in major trouble if that Dominique Vida woman caught you. She stood up again; if she did not get home soon she would surly pass out. It was becoming hard to think coherently. "No problem there… we … avoid each other." Her voice came out barely above a whisper, but even that effort proved to be too much.

Arlons POV- Arlon looked down at the unconscious girls beautiful form. The vampire shook his head. "If I were smart I would take her now. Damn my human heart anyway," He said aloud. "You would think after a few centuries it would leave me alone." He muttered something under his 'breath'. He rummaged carefully through her mind searching for where she was staying. When he found it, he gave a short laugh of irony. The girl was staying at on of the buildings owned by the Silver-line. In fact, the particular one she was staying at was one of his favorites, over looking a courtyard that even in the middle of the winter which was only a few short months way. He gathered her in his arms and sent them to her room depositing her on the bed with a final shake of his head he went back to New Mayhem.
