Hey, here I am again! Sorry it took some time but now you have the new chapter! And my special thanks to jayc3218 who is my only reviewer so far :D But it's okay, I know/hope that other people will wake up soon too. So keep reviewing!

Suddenly I felt how someone picked me up from the floor and whispered comforting words to my ear. It was Nicholas. In some other time I would have been thrilled, but now I was too numb to care. He wrapped his arms around me and pressed me closer to him.

"It' okay, it's okay.Let gets you away from here. Shh, don't cry..."

I buried my face to his shirt and let my tears dampen it. I tried to speak but I couldn't make any voice so I raised my head and brought my mouth near his ear.

"Anna, my parents? Are they safe? Can you take me to them...?"

"Shh, lets talk about it later. I'm taking you to our safehouse. "

NICHOLAS

I laid her down on a bed and covered her body with blankets. The sight of her fighting against the werewolves was still clear in my mind. I couldn't understand how she was able to do those things she did. During the fight she was so strong, but after... When she fell at the floor and started crying,well, it broke my heart. I hadn't known her long at all, but there was something in her, something different.

OKay, you have things to do, she'll be fine here, nobody is gonna hurt her. Me and my men needed to find out who were dead, who were lost and who were safe. And it didn't take much to figure out that we had a leak among us. Someone had told the dogs everything about the party and the people who were going to be there.

I gave the perfect creature laying on the bed a one last look before I went to work.


MICHELLE

When I woke I noticed that I wasn't in my own room. I checked the room and realized that I knew the place I was in. Then I remembered it all, everything that happened last night. I felt how the panick started to rise inside me. Calm down, breath, calm down. Everything is going to be okay, just get the hell out of here.

I jumped off the bed and saw that someone had left me new clothes on the chair next to the bed. I have to say that I was thankfull, there was really not much left from my dress that used to be so pretty. After changing the clothes I started to examine the door. It was locked but it would be more than easy to break the lock.

I was just starting to work with the lock when someone opened the door and almost knocked me to the floor.

"Michelle, what are you doing?"

It was Nicholas who caught me trying to escape. Just my luck.

"I need to get out of here, I need to find my family and Anna. Just let me go, I can take care of myself. Please."

His face wasn't so hard anymore and I think that my pleading almost worked for him. Almost.

"Well I have to say that you are quite good at taking care of yourself, but no, I can't let you go just yet. How did you even learn to fight like that? And where did you think you were going to go from here? You don't know how to move in this building."

I knew that I was going to do something stupid but for some reason I didn't stop myself.

"I know someone who works here, he told me how to move here and he thaught me to fight..."

He had a calculating look on his gorgeous face. I noticed that obsiously he hadn't had the time to take a shower for he was still covered with dry blood and his uniform was torn. From my opinion he looked sexier than in long time.

"Who?"

"Ehh well... Michael...?"

"Michael? The strange guy - I mean the one who never takes of his mask?"

Now I was little hurt. I knew that they thought of me, or him as a freak but still, I was a woman for god's sake.

"Yes, talking about the same guy. He happenes to be my.. second cousin! Yes, my second cousin. "

"Well, how small world this is, Michelle. "

Mm, did you just imagine things but did he say my name in that tone? Please, let it be that way! For a moment our eyes met and for a time that felt like forever we just stared at eachother. We both leaned a little bit closer to eachother and -BAM! Someone broke in to the room screaming like a hyena.

"Michelle, Michelle oh my god you are safe! And in a good company, I see. I was so worried!"

Anna was hugging me like a maniac who was never going to let go. And it was fine for me. A wave of relief washed trough me. My best frend was alive and safe.

"Oh dear, I was going to die for not knowing if you are allright!"

Another familiar voice. My mother. And behind her my father. He was stiff and formal like usual but there was something different in his eyes. After a moment of hugging and talking I had time to sneak away from their arms and turn my attention to Nicholas who was standing in the corner, obviously feeling little uneasy for whitnessing all this.

"Why didn't you tell me immediately that my family was safe? Ofcorse I am thankfull but still!"

For some reason I felt the need to yell at him, possibly due to the almost "kiss me moment" we shared earlier. He looked little amused but kept his face serious.

"I was going to,but for some reason you were crouching behind the door..."

"Yes, but, but but... Still!"

Allways a charming school girl infront of him, right? I knew that I had much more serious things to figure out right now than Nicholas and our almost kiss. I had made myself a promise; I would find out what was happening. And I needed both Michael and myself to do it.

There you go ;) Hope you enjoyed!
