Short Author's Note: Thanks again for reviewing JTLegend, and for adding my story to your favorites. I appreciate it. I will not be explaining the sex scene between Diva and Sara because it makes me uncomfortable. Just know that it happened.

CHAPTER 5: Protected From Danger

The Next Morning

Sara was watching Diva as she slept. She was now redressed in her clothes. She was kneeling by the bed. As she watched the Chiropteran queen who was supposed to be her enemy she wondered why she was still here. Diva had fallen directly asleep after their lovemaking which meant that the door to the room had remained open.

Another thought suddenly hit her. This would probably be the perfect time to use her Chiropteran abilities to kill Diva. She knew only Saya's blood could kill Diva, but honestly, could ANYTHING live if it was decapitated? But she immediately threw that idea out of her mind. Just the thought of killing Diva was enough to cripple her.

Sara sighed and stood up. She felt like she was betraying Diva for just thinking of it for an instant. But if she let her live wasn't she betraying Saya? 'Have I betrayed her already because of last night?' Sara asked herself. Why had she even....? She looked down at Diva. What was this queen doing to her?

She needed to figure some things out. She walked out of the room. She didn't plan on leaving the mansion, at least not yet. She needed to figure out what Diva's hold on her really was first, and she couldn't do that with Saya. She was no help to her queen right now anyway.

"Leaving?" a voice said from her left. "Diva wouldn't like that. And neither would I"

Sara turned to see Amshel. She glared at him. "I'm not leaving, asshole. I don't know exactly WHY I'm not leaving, but I'm not"

He looked her over for a while as if he was checking to see if she was lying. Then his eyebrows shot up. "Interesting. You are a female and yet you're being effected by it"

Sara was stunned. "Being effected by what? What are you talking about, Amshel?"

He smirked at her. "I haven't felt it myself. But I know both Solomon and Karl feel it" He smiled cruelly suddenly. "It is the Chevalier's blood inside of you. It pulls you toward Diva. You are, after all, her bride"

Sara's eyes widened in shock. "W-What? But.... Are you saying I'm only attracted to Diva because I'm Saya's Chevalier?"

Amshel shook his head at that. "My assumption is that there must be some attraction there to start with. You probably would be attracted to Diva even if you weren't a Chevalier. If that wasn't the case Nathan, James and myself would be drawn to Saya. We are not" He turned to leave. "You are free to roam the mansion, but if you try to leave, you will be stopped"

"Amshel!" Sara called after him.

He stopped. "What is it?" he responded without turning around.

"Where are Solomon and Nathan?" she asked him.

"They're in the South Wing. Solomon is on the balcony. Nathan is in his work space" He started walking again. "Do not try anything funny. They are more experienced with their abilities than you are"

Sara glared at his back for a moment before heading to the South Wing. When she got there she was almost run over by Nathan. He stumbled and would have fallen if she hadn't have caught him. She was surprised she actually bothered to help him. He was the enemy after all.

She steadied him. "Are you alright, Nathan?"

"I'm fine" He held up the dress he was holding, examining it. It was in a protective bag. "I'm just glad the dress was not ruined. It took forever to make" He looked at her. "Where were you off to?"

"I was going to find Solomon" She looked around. "Would you mind showing me where the balcony is, please? I don't want to get lost"

He smiled at her. "Ooh, manners. I like that" He turned back the way he'd come. "I'll take you" He offered her his arm like a gentleman.

Blushing, she took his arm and they began walking. "Who is the dress for?"

His arm tightened. "For you, of course" At her surprised look he pouted. "Don't tell me you've already forgotten. You said you would try to attend my next performance"

Sara patted his arm reassuringly. "I didn't forget, Nathan. I was just surprised that you actually...."

Nathan suddenly stopped abruptly, startling her. He then glared behind him with the most intense look she had ever seen. "Leave her alone, Amshel" he said in a threatening demonic voice.

When his features returned to their relaxed expression, he turned to her and said seriously, "Listen, Sara. Amshel is just waiting for a chance to turn you into a lab rat. We need to get you back to Diva immediately. You can talk to Solomon later"

Sara nodded, but her mind was in the past. If Amshel wanted to experiment with her now, what would he do if he ever knew she had had powers long before she became a Chevalier?

And what if he knew she still had them?
