AN: I changed the last chapter slightly because it just didn't flow well with what I wanted to come next. I'm sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

Nicky frowned as he stood outside the Night Stalkers' hideout in dark grey cargo pants, a black t-shirt, a black leather trench coat, and a pair of black combat boots. He waited in silence until Blade stormed out the door then began to follow him in silence. He had to find Lena, had to make sure she was okay. Lena, I'm so sorry. Please be okay. I don't know what I'll do without you. You're all I've got. God, if you really exist please watch over Lena and make sure she and the babies are safe. I would give my life for them in a heartbeat if I could. Please God, don't let anything happen to her. Nicky was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't realize Blade had stopped until he almost ran into him.

"If you're gonna come with me than you need to be more careful. Isn't that right kids?"

Nicky stopped short and turned around to Abby and King behind them decked out in all their vampirefighting glory. King shrugged and said, "Just figured you might need me to save your ass. This might get messy."

Abby just stood their silent and menacing ready for an attack at a moment's notice. Nicky sighed and said, "She's my sister. She's the only family I have left. I've gotta make sure she's ll right. Don't try to stop me."

"Wasn't plannin on it. Just stay outta my way." Blade continued walking with the three younger people behind him when he felt a wave of confusion wash over him. He turned around and saw that Nicky had felt it too.

Worry filled Nicky's eyes and he whispered, "Lena," before his eyes went completely white and he blacked out. When he came to he was standing at the front gates of a expansive mansion with Blade right behind him and King and Abby running to catch up with him. "Where the hell are we, and what the fuck just happened?"

Blade nodded his eyes hidden behind his black sunglasses and said darkly, "You're changing."

King and Abby both frowned, but for once even King didn't comment. Instead he looked up the driveway at the mansion before them and said. "Nice place, but it gives me the creeps."

Abby nodded her agreement and asked, "What are we doin here?"

Nicky stared up at the huge house and said solemnly, "Lena's in there."

King pulled out his guns and said, "What are we waitin for, then? Let's go get her."

"No, we can't. There's somethin protectin this place. Somethin strong, and dark. We go in there now, and we will all die. Now isn't the time."

King looked to Blade and asked, "What's he talkin about?"

"I don't know, but I trust him. He's got the same gift Gabriella had."

"Who," Abby asked looking up at Blade.

"His birth mother," Blade said with a rare note of sadness in his voice. "The one time I refused to follow her instincts it cost her life, and I barely escaped with mine. So I'm trustin him on this. Now let's get back and come up with a plan."
