When I opened my eyes I remembered where I was. I saw her beautiful face as she lay there sleeping in my arms. She looked so peaceful with her long lashes lying against her cheeks, her full lips looked pliant and supple. I fought back a groan and wished we were anywhere besides here. Nikola must have sensed that I was awake because she began to stir at that moment. Her green eyes fluttered open, "Good morning.", she said almost hesitantly. I smiled at her, "Well as good as it can get being held captive by blood thirsty vampires." "It's better now that you're here. I was so afraid when I was alone.", Nikola answered hesitantly. My heart clenched at the realization that she was here alone and so small and defenseless. I swore then and there to get her out of here if it was the last thing I did. I didn't know what would happen after. What would happen when we were sent back to our own time. Dean and I never knew what to expect in our crazy world.

I reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind Nikola's ear, "I'm going to get you out of here." She snuggled in close to me then and buried her head in my neck. I felt wetness and realized she was crying softly. I pulled her back and reached to bring her chin up, "Hey, hey don't cry little one. I've got you." I couldn't help myself as I looked into her scared eyes. I leaned in and covered her mouth with mine. She melted into me, returning my kiss. We stayed that way for several long seconds before I broke our kiss. "Listen if we were in a different situation I would be all in, but we've got to figure out a way out of this mess. These vamps probably won't come around until dusk so we have a little while to think and plan."

Nikola nodded at me and sat up on the edge of the bed. I sat up with her and looked around the room. We seemed to be in a dusty barn of some sort. I stood and looked to see how much slack I had in my ropes. There had to be a way to get out of these. I checked to see if they had found all of my weapons and of course they had. I blew my hair out of my eyes in frustration and looked around again. I could see light filtering through the cracks in the wall and walked over to the wall to try and see out. Peering through the crack I could see we were in a wooded area but with an open field nearby. Nothing looked like anything I had seen before. I turned to Nikola, "Have you been able to look out?" She looked up at me in confusion, "No I've been either too out of it or…well….I was too short to see out."

I nodded suddenly remembering that she was much shorter than me and then realized there weren't any cracks low enough for her to see out. I was in hopes that if she could see out she would recognize where we were. "Ok it's all good. I understand. I was only hoping if you could see out that you could maybe tell where we were." She looked so small and lost at that moment. I walked back over to her and took her in my arms, "We're going to get out of here. Dean will find us or I'll figure something out." She nodded against my chest. After a few minutes she seemed better and I went back to checking out the surroundings. The way we were tied I was unable to just untie our hands and the other end was tied high enough that I was unable to reach. When I tried to climb and reach I found that the ropes had been positioned in a way that prevented me from climbing to that height.

*****************************

I watched as Sam searched for a way to get us out of here. His long lean body moved easily even with the bonds. I had never been with a man but this one made me want to give him everything I had. I felt as if I wasn't much help as I watched him make his way around the small space we each had to maneuver in. Finally he sat down in a huff on the bed. I walked over to where he sat and reached out to smooth two fingers through the unruly hair that kept falling in his right eye. "It's ok Sam. I know I'm safer with you." Sam exploded off of the bed then, causing a bit of fear in me then. He was so large and looked almost scary, "Damn it I don't want you to feel safer! I want you to BE safe! I want you out of here! I know what these blood thirsty sons of bitches can do to you!" His nostrils flared and his eyes were hard and unyielding. It was then that I saw he was afraid, but he was not afraid for himself, he was afraid for me. I lost a piece of my heart to him at that moment.

I walked toward him then, "Sam its ok. You're with me." I reached for him then and he let me. I gripped the front of his shirt and he crashed his mouth down on mine. We kissed feverishly and then I felt his arm wrap around my waist. He lifted me from the ground easily and carried me to the bed. His mouth never left mine as he collapsed on top of me, my fingers tangled in his hair, pulling him closer. His free hand traveled from my shoulder down my side and then covered one small breast hidden beneath the borrowed shirt of my brother. I thought I would be scared when this happened to me but instead I'm excited for the things that are to come. Sam is a big virile man but I know he won't hurt me despite the fact that I'm so much smaller than he is.

Suddenly I feel Sam ripped from me, the burn of his stubble still on my face. My eyes go wide as I see one of our captors holding Sam off the ground as if he weighed no more than I did, "Winchester! I should have known you would go for the pretty little helpless girl! Now the question is do I turn you or just simply feed on you like you seem to be doing to my little snack?" Tears began to slip down my cheeks as I watched the seemingly young vamp, with the long blonde hair and piercing green eyes, hold Sam by the throat above his head. This was the first time I had actually seen any of my captors to know what they looked like. Why did this one seem so familiar? "Please. Please don't hurt him. Let him down and you can drink from me.", I said without even thinking. The vampire looked at me then, "So you would sacrifice yourself for a Winchester? I'm not even sure what he's doing here. He's from the future as far as I know." I felt shock at those words, "Oh so you didn't know? He didn't tell you that little tidbit of information?"

The vampire began to laugh but he lowered Sam until his feet were on the ground. He didn't release him from his grip though. Then without warning he attacked Sam, his teeth tearing at his throat, and began to drink from him greedily. My crying became sobs when I thought he was going to drain Sam. I barely got out a whisper, "Please don't." The vamp pulled away from Sam with a hiss and a contented sigh. His lips and chin bloody, "Oh I'm not going to drain him just yet. I haven't decided if I want to kill him or turn him. I do however need him a little less alert." With that he threw Sam's near lifeless body onto the bed beside me. I scrambled over to him, clutching at his shirt and letting my tears flow freely. "Don't get too cozy little girl. I'll be back or one of my friends will soon enough." With that the vampire was gone, leaving Sam lying listless on the bed and me in tears.

I checked the wound in Sam's neck and saw that it was still lightly bleeding. I tore a strip from the hem of my shirt and pressed it against the wound. "Don't you leave me Sam. I just found you and I'm not going to let you go that easily.", I said close to his ear. Sam barely opened his eyes enough to look at me. He raised his hand with some difficulty and tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear, "You're not getting rid of me that easily little one." His voice was strained and gruff but my heart soared to hear him speak at all. I snuggled in beside him, wrapping my arms around him as if to protect him and waited.
