Here's another chapter guys! Hope you all like the little twist ;)

We landed outside fangtasia I breathed heavily as I was hunched over, desperately clutching to my side.

"We are never doing that again!"

I could hear his smirk as he found my pain amusing.

"Let's go inside." He said as he opened the front door to his bar.

As we got into his office, I carefully sat myself down. Letting out a small groan.

I watched Eric carefully as he leant against his desk.

I looked at him, blatantly wanting to be fed. i felt like a toddler having to cry for their food. He wanted a reaction out of me, wanted me to beg for my food. i sat there and raised an eyebrow at him. His face dropped in disappointment. He made his way to me, puncturing his wrist and slipping it into my mouth.

After my feeding, I wiped my mouth with the back off my hand. A few moments later I began to feel ill and uneasy. I laid down, maybe I needed rest. But no, I began to worsten in a short amount of time. I looked over at Eric who was making himself a true blood. My eyes tried focusing on him but they couldn't, my vision was blurred.

"I'm going to the toilet." I warned Eric as I darted out of office, staggering on my way to the toilets. I quickly locked the door behind me.

I leaned on the door for a few moments, trying to steady myself. my stomach began to worsen, I dashed to one of the sinks and began vomiting, having no time to get into one of the cubicles. I closed my eyes as I violently vomited. I could taste metallic. I slowly opened my eyes and saw the Scarlett red, thick liquid all over the sink. I quickly looked up at the mirror. I froze, horrified at all the blood all over my face.

I hit the floor, suddenly having no feeling in my legs. I tried to push myself to the door as my legs had given out. My body beginning to shake all over. I could feel a pressure in my chest rising as I tried to clutch on to it. The pain so sudden and so painful, soon becoming unbearable for me to take. I let out a small cry.

I could hear loud knocks on the bathroom door.

"Mia?!" I heard Eric call outside.

"I'll be there in a minute!" The words barely escaping my lips while I was in agony.

My back arches as I felt a strong pull from my own chest. I bit my lip down, hard as I could, resisting the urge to scream. I blacked out for a moment.

My eyes fluttering open, I awoke and saw her figure through my blurred eyes.

I saw a pink orb in her hand and I saw her hand coming towards me. I quickly rolled to the side, just about missing the fist that crashed into the floor- barely missing me. I looked at the fist that was buried within the floor. I looked up at her, it was the other me. By the look on her face i was sure she wasn't here to say hi. I quickly jumped on my feet. I looked around at all the blood forgetting it was mine.

"Eric!" I screamed and he crashed the toilet doors open. Who stood there- completely shocked, looking at the both of us.

The pink flames swirled around her body as her eyes glowed a fluorescent pink colour.

Oh fuck.

"I thought I was you?! Why are you trying to kill yourself?!" I tried reasoning.

She smirked at me and it was twisted. The worst thing was it was coming from my face.

"Are you a fucking idiot? You gave me control tonight to kill you!" She giggled with excitement, it was like a Child finally getting what they want.

She lunged at me, I quickly fell to the ground before she touched me.

"I'm the curse. I've been slowly killing you, and I was hoping to speed up the process tonight."

I tried crawling away but she was in front of me, with her back to me she began to look at Eric.

"I always liked you... After tonight you wanna catch a drink?" She asked him seductively.

"Fuck you."

She smirked at his response. She slowly went on her tip toes, and kissed him. He tried to struggle but she held him still, as she made the kiss deeper. An urge of jealousy swept through me. But then I could see his skin tone turning a greeny tone... I knew he was a vampire, but the colour he was now... It looked like he had an illness.

She simply broke the kiss off and dropped the 6ft and over Viking like he was nothing but a box of feathers.

She then turned to me with her face smug whilst my vampire laid there lifeless.

She picked me up, but it was odd the way she picked me up. She picked me up but had me far away from her body as possible. I didn't understand it. I kept struggling against her, but honestly- it was no use. She was super strong and no way was I going to hurt her with the way she was holding me.

She threw me at the back outside of fangtasia, she laughed as I got up slowly, I was having trouble to stand still.

"Please, you're supposed to be big bad vampire hunter and you can't even protect yourself from... Well yourself." She laughed at herself.

A pink flame dance round her hand, I watched in horror as she turned the flame into a circular bolt.

Without hesitation she threw it at me. Luckily, I jumped out the way. Barely.

"Come on, I'm trying to make this fair."

I slowly began to move towards her.

"How about hand to hand combat then?" I offered.

She took a small step back.

For some reason she didn't want me to touch her.

But i think I know what could get her close to me...

"So your what? A bad version of me? If you're so big and bad then why don't you want to fight me?"

She raised an eyebrow.

"I would count yourself lucky."

I laughed at her.

"Lucky? More like cowardly. I mean come on."

She took a step forward her eyes glowing even more.

"Shut your mouth! Even with a fair fight I can easily kill you!"

I rolled my eyes at her.

"Yeah, your problem is your all talk. At least I'm more action than you."

I could feel she was going to act on her anger. I knew her blood was boiling to rip my head off.

"Shut up!"

She grabbed me by the throat and held me off the ground.

She looked into my eyes, and I looked into her pink orbed ones. I knew she was going to snap my neck. She's far too strong for me and I wasn't scared like you'd expect... I was fucking pissed. If I died was this version of me going to takeover my life and kill my friends? Was she going to gain their trust like she did me? I wish I could fight back but there was no use. The way she hurt Eric with one simple kiss.

"You're just a little brat." She smiled as I tried struggling from her hold.

I quickly put my hand on her bare arm. For some reason she didnt want me to touch her and now i know why. the same thing was happening to her as it did to Eric, her skin was going a repulsive colour but, I was getting stronger.

She let go of me but I still held on to her arm.

I was taking her powers because they were mine and this was how I was going to kill her. I understood all of a sudden what was going on. It was like from me doing this, information was being flowed into me.

"These powers are mine!" I said as a black orb of fire shot from my hand, making my other self take the fall this time.

Black shadows swirled around me as I began to step forward to the bitch.

"Who can't protect themselves now?" I asked smugly.

She got up her eyes still glowing.

"Still you!" She leaped on to me. She was straddling me, her hands tightening around my neck.

"You're joining the darkness. You're evil, you're worst than the fangers!" She said as she began to dig her nails into my neck.

I slowly tried to bring my hand up as I tried gasping for air. She squeezed more tightly. i panicked as my wind pipe was being cut off from air. i tried looking round franticly- for something i could hit her with. Without even thinking about it, my hand punched through to her chest, I felt her warm heart beat in my hand as I pulled it out of her and tossed it to the side. I watched as her eyes clouded over, she fell forward onto me. I pushed her limp body off of me and began to make my way back towards the bar.

There was a sudden whisper, I turned round yet there was nothing. I began to doubt myself, making my way to her body again. But there was nothing.

I began to look around, panicking for the unknown. My thoughts went to Eric. I quickly turned around to go run to Eric but I ran into something.

I hit the ground, I could see the feet of the person I had ran into.

Please let my eyes be lying to me.

I looked up at my own reflection. This time She was bloodied.

"You can't kill something that isn't alive in the first place."

I quickly threw a fire ball at her, crashing her into one of Eric's convertibles. I hastily got up and began using my fire to my advantage.

She slowly crawled out of the now crumbled car. At lightning speed she made her way towards me.

I closed my eyes preparing for the blow but I stood there was nothing. I then heard someone murmuring? I slowly opened my eyes.

She had stopped in her tracks and she looked like she was in pain. I scanned the area and I spotted a woman behind me, saying something under her breath. She was saying a spell!

The other me then screamed, I looked at her as her body begun to turn into dust. Her agonising screams were something I would always remember.

I watched myself as I crumbled into dust and the wind began to sweep the contents away.

"The only way to kill her. She would of killed you other wise."

I turned to look at her properly. When are eyes met mine she was full of sorrow.

She slowly made her way towards me, once she got to me she looked at my eyes. She laid her hand on the side of my face.

"I am so sorry. Maybe we should go inside."

I nodded at her as she led us into the bar. I quickly ran to Eric's body once we were inside.

I shook him, hoping that he would awake. I panicked as soon as I didn't get a response. Trying to wake him, I pulled his head on my lap and begin screaming at him.

"He will be awake in approximately 4 minutes." She said as she sat herself down.

"How do you know that?"

She smiled, pulling one of the seats for me to sit in.

"I can see the future dear."

I slowly got up from Eric and took the sit.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean for things to turn out this way. When we did this to you, we thought it would last longer."

I looked up at her.

"I am what I am because of you?"

She shook her head as she sat down opposite me. Her short red curls bouncing around her face.

"We tried protecting you from your powers so, we hid them away. But someone in my circle obviously was up to more than that. The other Mia, she was supposed to protect you, she wasn't supposed to be able to communicate with you until you were much older."

I leant forward to her.

"So am I like full me now?"

She shook her head.

"And I am not telling you how to become what you are. You have to do things- meet people! before you become that person."

I leant back in my chair and looked at her.

"But I've got more powers? I'm stronger."

She nodded.

"We made it very hard for you to become what you are, even though you have nearly all of your powers now. Oh and I'm telling you this because you will find it very useful in the next few months..."

I leant forward preparing to hear what she had to say.

"You can learn any language, by one simple kiss."

I let out a long breath.

"I'm guessing that's all you're going to tell me."

She nodded. Her smile full of joy. It seemed as if she had wanted to meet me in a while.

She was the witches address I got. She must have seen that I was in trouble.

"Do you know if my family are still alive?"

She nodded.

"Where are they?"

"Not here."

"Okay, can you at least tell me a country?"

She raised her thin, drawn-on eyebrow.

"They're not from this world."

I looked at her blankly.

She then reached inside of the little satchel she had with her. She pulled out a lipstick, and a compact mirror. I looked at her in disbelief as she began fixing her make up.

I glanced over at Eric then at the clock. Two more minutes.

She then suddenly pushed some sunglasses to me. I looked at her again.

"You will need them."

I raised an eyebrow and began to inspect the glasses. I studied them seeing what was so important about them.

The woman rolled her eyes at me.

"Your eyes Mia!"

I looked at her and immediately began panicking. I got up and looked in my reflection.

"Oh fuck."

The woman stood next to me.

"You look unnaturally beautiful."

I gave her a look which only made her shrug.

My eyes... They were gold. They looked evil, and it scared me. I wanted to be anything but evil.

"Am I a vampire?"

She laughed.

"Far from that!"

I looked at her in the reflection.

Why was this all happening to me at once? I didn't deserve this! What have I done to deserve all of this?

The mirror cracked all of a sudden. I could see a glimpse of my reflection, my pupils had gone black.

I quickly squeezed my eyes shut.

"Try to stay calm till you get use to things. And try to keep the glasses on." She said as she handed them to me.

"I'm Helena by the way. Oh! Another thing! Take spare clothes with you! Don't want you shifting and having no clothes now, do we?"

My head cocked towards her.

"What the fuck do you mean by shifting?!"

She put her hand over her mouth and smiled.

"Naughty Helena! Always saying too much!" She giggled.

I closed my eyes, pushed on the glasses and when I opened my eyes, she was gone.

Great. All I got was a bunch of riddles.

I heard a deep groan, I peered over the tables to see Eric sat up.

"Who was that girl? Your twin sister?" He asked as he stood up.

"No." I said truthfully.

When he turned round to look at me, he looked... Well, there was no way to describe the look on his face. He made his way up to me until our bodies were a few inches apart. He looked down at me with the same look on his face. He slowly put his hands on the glasses but I quickly grabbed them.

"Don't."

He tried pulling at them but I was still making sure they weren't coming off.

"What happened to you?"

I pulled his hands away from the glasses. And I slid them off my face myself.

When I opened my eyes, his expression looked worst. I couldn't describe the way he looked at me, I could only guess.

"I wish I knew."

He stood there quiet, his expression now blank.

The silence scared me, the fact that Eric wasn't ever one of those guys left speechless and at that moment he had nothing to say. God, I hated the way he was looking at me.

"I look like a freak. Eric, I'm going home. I've caused enough trouble."

I put my glasses back on. As I turned around to leave, Pam came through.

"Eric, what the fuck happened to one of your cars?"

Eric gave me a look.

I shrugged, smiling because it reminded me of Helena and mine expressions a few moments ago.

"It got a bit rough..." I joked.

Pam raised her eyebrows at Eric.

"Thought she looked pale, how was it?"

I shook my head furiously.

"No we didn't do it!"

Her face turned to disappointment.

"Kill joy. What's with the glasses? You starting a new fashion or something?"

"Why do you always sound bored? Does the sound of your own voice bore you as well?" I shot back.

"Most of the time I am bored, but not because of myself."

I gave her a fake smile.

"How am I getting home?"

Pam and Eric both looked at each other. They began talking to each other in Swedish.

I hated it when they did this. It was so damn rude, it was suddenly like I wasn't in the room. Man, it pissed me off. Guess it's time to put Helenas advice to the test.

I rolled my eyes then walked up to Eric whilst he was in mid conversation. I pulled his head down to my level and pressed our lips together for a few short moments.

"sin oförskämd att tala på ett annat språk som jag inte förstår" it's rude to talk in another language which I don't understand. I said with my hand still holding onto his hair, I then let go.

"What did you just do?" Pam asked me.

"Little trick I learnt."

She turned to Eric.

"And your telling me you are not suspicious of this girl Eric?"

He looked at me for a moment.

"I know more than you Pam. I am not suspicious."

"You don't need to be starting a fight with me Pam, we have more problems on our hands... Can someone call me a cab or something please?"

Eric and Pam looked at each other.

"I'll take her." Eric finally said.

He led us to another one of his cars. When he saw the other one that I smashed up he wasn't too happy, but soon as I explained what was happening at that point, then he kinda let it go... Okay, well i said kinda.

We got into his other convertible which I liked much better anyways, the interior was leather and a lovely cream colour.

I pulled off the sunglasses while he was driving and began to rub my eyes.

"Do you know anything about... You know, your eyes? Why are they gold?"

I pulled down the mirror and looked at them.

"Nope and no idea."

I closed the mirror and leaned back in my chair, taking in the smell of the car.

"Have you got any other abilities

that you know of?"

I closed my eyes and began to relax even more.

"I did a few new tricks while fighting but I haven't taken anything for a test drive."

I felt his eyes looking at me.

"How did you kill her?"

I turned my head lazily and looked at him.

"I didn't this witch helped me, the ones address I got. Turned out I was cursed or something. Someone wanted me dead and it didn't work." I said casually, knowing he wouldn't question it further.

"Good."

I smiled at him, he wasn't looking at me the way he was earlier. He looked at me as if I meant something to him. i began thinking there was more to Eric then he lets on.

A few minutes later we pulled outside of my place.

"Wanna come in blondie?"

He looked at me, warning me to never call him that again.

I hopped out of his expensive car and made my way inside. I could feel him behind me.

I opened the front door and stepped over the threshold.

"May you please come in mr. Northman."

I walked into the kitchen and got myself a glass of water. I looked in the fridge to see if we had any true blood, but we was empty.

"We're out of TB, sorry. Would you like anything else?"

I looked at him as he only shook his head.

I sat down not long afterwards he joined me.

"Why did you invite me in?" He suddenly asked.

I looked at him not wanting to say. But i knew he would badger me about it otherwise. i took in a deep breath.

"Because I'm lonely. I don't want to sit here on my own all night and realise that there is something monstrous about me and I have no one to protect me from it."

He kept looking at me.

"Do you want me to stay?" He asked to my surprise.

I nodded.

"Can you lay with me? I would like that a lot."

"I will lay with you until you go to sleep."

We went into my room. I watched him as he studied my room and my drawings.

He picked up a recent drawing I did of Shane.

"Who's this?" He asked curiously.

"My foster brother."

I let him take a look around as I had a quick shower and changed into my plain black underwear.

As I left my bathroom I jumped into my bed, under the covers whilst Eric laid next to me. His colder temperature actually felt warm to me tonight. His presence here was soothing, I felt safe.

"When I was away, Shane laid like this with me."

"Your foster brother?" He said, I could feel the vibration of when he spoke behind me.

"Yes. Thank you for this Eric."

"You did this for me when we were in Dallas. When Godric died, you helped me."

It wasn't like Eric to return a favour and that's what made me feel so guilty. I wanted to tell him, but what I did was for him and Godric. I don't know how I did it at the time but I knew I did it. Hell, Godric didnt even know I was doing it. I felt like I've stolen a piece of Eric away, but I know Godric wouldn't want him to know. Poor Godric, the thought of him saddened me. I didn't like thinking about people we've lost, it makes me realise that we will all lose each other in the end.
