* Please review! Let me know what you think! *

Nickolas pushed Scud into a huge throne room. He had explained that King and Abby had been his familiars but they hadn't seen him for a over a year and a half so they didn't smell like vampire and Jillian wouldn't sense it on them. He told Scud he wasn't going to take any chances, that Jillian would be drugged up every hour, regardless of if it seemed she needed it or not. Nickolas took a seat at the throne and motioned for Scud to remain standing.

" Now I know how much you mean to her but you must understand. She is mine, through and through. While you will be here to watch when I have sex with her, you are not allowed to talk to her. If she refuses me in any way, it will be necessity for me to hurt you. I will have her." Nickolas said.

" We are going to kill you." Scud said. Nickolas just laughed.

Blade walked in the shadows. His stomach started dropping when he couldn't reach Scud. He saw the van up ahead but the send of blood invaded his sense. He sucked in his breath quickly. He knew who's blood that was. He crept over to Scud's van and saw Whistler on the ground. He swore quietly and ran over to the old man. He came down to his knees and scoped the man up. He covered his face his hand. Whistler's throat was slashed clean open and the man was dead. There was no bring him back. He picked the man up and ran as fast as he could.

Scud was praying Blade would show up soon. The doors to the throne room opened and two vampires came in, one was carrying Jillian in his arms. Nickolas smiled, a hint of fangs were showing. He stood up and held his arms out. The vampires came forward and went down on one knee in front of Nickolas.

" She is clean, My Lord." One vampire said.

" Set her down but be careful." Nickolas said.

" Her blood smells amazing." The other vampire said as he laid her down on the floor. Nickolas came around her as the vampire stood up. He took a hold of her arm and brought it to his face. He frowned as he smelled her skin.

" There is something different about her blood." He said.

" It's me, fuck wad." Scud snapped. " I'm in her blood." Nickolas smiled as Jillian stirred. He opened his mouth and brought her arm to his mouth. He let his fangs drag across her skin without breaking it. " Get the fuck away from her." Scud spit out.

" When I first drink from her again, it will be when I am inside her, making her squirm underneath me. You will watch as she calls out my name." Nickolas said.

" She will never call out your name." Scud snapped. Jillian's eyes slowly opened. Nickolas turned his attention down to her.

" Hello, my love." He said. He took a needle out of his pocket. " Now I really hate to do this to you, but you have left me no choice. I can't have you being swept away from me again." He pulled the cap off the needle and pulled her sleeve up.

Jillian's eyes fluttered shut and she turned her head towards Scud. She was still groggy and sleepying from the chloroform. She felt the needle pierce her skin and it made her open her eyes. She locked eyes with Scud as she felt the drug being pushed into her vein. She closed her eyes briefly then took a deep breath and opened them again. Scud looked at her and saw her eyes were completely clear. He sucked in his breath quickly.

Blade had been injecting her with a mixture of heroin and garlic since she had last been taken. It started out as low doses at first, then increased over time. He was letting her body get used to it and start to build up a tolance to it. Her and Blade had been working on it after Scud and Whistler had gone to bed. At first, her reaction had been bad. She laid on Blade's bed, trying to be still as the pain of the injections flowed through her veins. Blade would hold her hand and help her through it.

Jillian closed her eyes and pretended to go compelely limp. When Nickolas wthdrew the needle from her arm a few drops of blood escaped from her wound. The vampires standing behind him let out a low growl and started towards her but Nickolas whirled around and grabbed both vampires by the throat. He got close their faces and spoke low.

" She is mine. None may drink from her but me." He said. He pushed the vampire away as alarms started going off. Nickolas's fangs came completely out. " Daywalker! Get her out of here and take her human but don't let him touch her!" The vampires nodded then one scooped Jillian up while the other came towards Scud. He grabbed Scud's arm and yanked him up.

" Get your fucking hands off me!" Scud snapped and tried to pull away but the vampire just smirked and tighten his hold on Scud's arm.

The two vampires hurried down the hallway to another room. They opened the door and shoved Scud inside before they walked in. The vampire holding Scud let him go and bolted the door. The vampire holding her set her down on the table in the center of the table. The other vampire pushed Scud into a corner as the first vampire started circling Jillian.

" I don't see why he gets to keep her for himself. Bitch's got enough blood." He said.

" Don't even think about biting her. Vampire bites don't heal on witches, he will know you bit her." The second vampire said.

" I don't fucking care!" The first vampire growled.

He reached down and tore fangs into Jillian's wrist. Her eyes snapped opened as she screamed. Scud looked down at his hand and found a silver steak. He rushed the second vampire and shoved the steak into the vampire's chest. The vampire screamed before he burst into ash. The first vampire dropped Jillian's arm, her blood dripping from his fangs. He grabbed his throat and stared down at her in horrible before he started to scream. He sank to his knees and turned to firey ash. Scud raised to Jillian and grabbed her arm.

" Are you okay?" He asked. He took his vest off and wrapped it around her wound. When the vampire bit her, it wasn't a clean bite, he had tore into her skin.

" It worked! Did you see how fast he was killed after biting me!" She said. Her cheeks wet with tears.

" How long before your arm heals?" Scud asked.

" Is it bad?" She asked. Scud moved the vest and glanced at her wound. He covered it up quickly.

" It's not nice." Scud said.

" It's gonna take a while. I could try and speed the healing but it will take a lot out of me." She said. Scud grabbed her by her neck and they kissed roughly.

" We have to get you out of here." He said, resting his forehead against hers.

" We can't go near Blade. My blood will drive him crazy." Jillian said. Blade had to stay away from her when she was on her period, luckily for her though, witches only had a period three times a years. They heard yelling and knew Blade was in the building. " How are we going to get out of here?" Scud pulled away and took a hold of her hands. He brought them to his mouth and kissed her fingers.

" There is only way out that I saw. Can you do a flash?" He asked her. They had nick named her burst of UV rays, the flash."

" I don't know if I have the energy." Jillian answered honestly.

" Make me some steaks. I'll get us out of here." In his hands a pair of steaks appeared.

" I will make more as you need them." She said. He nodded.

" You ready?" Scud asked. She nodded slowly. " Stand behind me, you get a break then you run like hell. You know where the spare key to the van is." He said. He took a hold of her face and kissed her again. " Jillian, you run like hell, I mean it." She nodded.
