Thea felt sick. Her body was screaming for some fresh air and a shower as if she could wash away her feelings for what had happened not along with Quinn and the poor girl. Walking downstairs Thea wondered if she could finally be free one day, but that was not an option for a Harman. The Harman's were as important as the Redferns in the Night World, and sadly enough she was one of them. She kept walking fast trying to control her nerves, but before she could fully get away from them, there was still something she had to do.

Mary-Lynnette woke up feeling as if a car had just run over her. Every single part of her body ache but her hands was pretty much killing her. The pain was horrendous. She moved slowly feeling dizzy and sat down but fell when she used her hand to help herself. She gasped and suddenly a pair of gentle hands was helping her to sit down. She looked up and saw an old lady helping her. The old woman smiled gently and took her hands carefully examining them. Mary-Lynnette took them away quickly and hid them as a little child. The old woman stared at her with a gentle look on those big blue eyes.

"It's alright my dear, I am not going to hurt you" she said on her sweet voice "My name is Mrs. Opal and I'm going to take care of you kid, I promise"

Mary-Lynnette looked suspiciously at the old woman. A lot of people had told her the same thing and look how things had turned out. Mrs. Opal gently took Mary-Lynnette's hands again and examined them. She slightly frowned and went to pick up something from the table across the room.

"So my dear… what's your name?" Mrs. Opal asked in an attempt of conversation. Mary-Lynnette didn't say anything. Instead she looked out the window. Mrs. Opal sighed "I see. You don't trust me kid" Her voice sounded sad but understandable. She sat carefully next to Mary-Lynnette and started applying something cold in her hands. Mary-Lynnette reacted taking her hands away and Mrs. Opal hold her hands up showing surrounding "I am just adding some cream to your hands my dear, Those burnt need to be taken care of" she said. Mary-Lynnette blushed and gave her hands to the old lady again. Silently and carefully Mrs. Opal started applying the cold cream over Mary-Lynnette's hands.

"You know?" The lady said again breaking the silence between them "I don't use to do this quiet often" she laughed "My nieces are quiet grown up and they take care of themselves" Mary-Lynnette looked at the lady.

"I have three nieces, they are beautiful girls" The old lady kept saying " Beautiful and exotic but completely different from each other, even though they are sisters" Mary-Lynnette looked away and focused on her hands "What are her names?" she asked huskily talking for the first time. The old lady stopped massaging her hands and looked at Mary-Lynnette. "They are Rowan, Kestrel and Jade" Mrs. Opal said coming back to her job. "Rowan is tall and has brown long hair, Kestrel is blonde with a fiery look, while Jade is also blond but looks serene most of the time"

"I've seen Rowan" Mary-Lynnette said quietly "I think I've seen her. She is beautiful" Mrs. Opal smiled at herself "She is indeed my dear, and she is also one of the nicest and gentlest person you'll find in your life" She stood up and walked towards the door "Well, I've entrain you for a long time now and you probably want to have some sleep my dear" She turned to leave opening the door quietly.

"Mary-Lynnette" she said "That's my name"

Mrs. Opal smile politely "Nice to meet you Mary- Lynnette" and she closed the door quietly behind her leaving Mary-Lynnette in the dark room.

Rowan was walking around her room. She had seen the girl not long ago and had left her with her aunt while she sent her brother a message. She didn't know why she felt as if she had to inform her brother about the girl's return, but here she was doing it anyways.

"What the hell are you doing Rowan?" An annoying voice asked from behind her. She didn't turn and instead kept on writing her message. "Hey Kestrel, I'm writing as you can see" Kestrel made a face and walked next to her sister.

"Who are you writing to?" Kestrel asked trying to get a sneak peek from behind her sister. "Please tell me you are not writing to our brother because I am just coming out from a headache and I don't feel like having another one so soon"

Rowan rolled her eyes. She knew that Kestrel was half joking half serious, but this was something that had to be done. "I'm sorry Kestrel but yes I am" Kestrel snorted.

"What?" Rowan asked her. Kestrel shrugged and walked away towards the window. There was nothing more in the world she wanted but to get out of that house. The snow was covering every single green part transforming it to a whole new scenario.

"I know" Rowan said. Kestrel didn't say anything. Her sister had probably just read her thoughts once again.

"Kestrel" Rowan said quietly "Close the door" Kestrel turned to look at her sister perplexed. "Close the door Kestrel" Rowan repeated gently. Kestrel shook her head and went to do what she asked. Slowly she turned again to look at her sister. "You've talked to someone?" Kestrel asked carefully. Rowan nodded slowly and Kestrel couldn't help but smile. "Who?" she asked excited.

"Kestrel, it's dangerous so we need to be careful" Kestrel rolled her eyes and nodded "I mean it"

"Rowan for God's sake, I promise! Now tell me!" Kestrel said walking closely to her sister.

"I talked to Circle Daybreak Kestrel" Rowan said looking at her sister dead serious. Kestrel's jaw fell open "Did you find them?" She hissed. Rowan nodded slowly, after a moment of hesitation Kestrel asked firmly. "When are we leaving this place?"

Thea hesitated for a while at the door. What was she going to say anyways? Why would he believe a word from whatever she was saying? She shook away those thought before taking a deep breath. Come on Thea, you can do this. She thought to herself and walked in.

She had heard about the dungeon before but she never thought it would look like this. The whole room was dark and incredible cold. She took a deep breath and felt the icy air going through her lungs. Oh God, I needed this, she thought.

She walked down the stairs until she saw them. Both boys had been put on the same cell this time in order to make them talk, or at least that had been Sylvia's plan. She slowly walked towards them; they were whispering to each other but stopped deadly when they heard her coming. "Who is there?" The David boy asked. Thea wanted to answer him but she found herself unable to speak. "I said, who is there?" David said rising his voice. Thea walked towards the cell making herself visible.

"Do never ask "Who is there" don't you watch horror films? It's a dead wish" she said quietly. The boys started at her for a while until the dark hair boy spoke. "Who are you?" his voice was soft and out of place, especially under the circumstances, but it helped Thea to calm down. "I'm Thea" she said. The boy nodded but David didn't look please and snorted. "She was with us in the room Eric, she is one of them"

Thea shook her head "No! I mean, yes. I am one of them" Eric looked down avoiding her gaze. Something about this girl called his attention. "I am Thea Harman, and I'm a witch" she said quietly. The David boy looked at her suspiciously "What do you want? Did Quinn send you so fast? Is she dead?" Thea didn't have to think twice to understand what David was talking about. "No she is not. You don't understand that's why I came here" they looked at her intensely waiting for her to keep going, Thea took a deep breath "I'm here because you need to know that you have been tricked, Quinn hasn't killed the girl, at least not yet"

Eric shook his head "Thea, Quinn will kill her eventually" Thea shook her head to the boy but before she could say something David spoke first "And anyway, why are we listening to you? You are one of them, you don't trust you, you are working for Quinn" The girl shook her head but David didn't stop there "You are here to trick us, to make us say the wrong thing or to make us trust you so you can use some information against us" Thea's eyes started filling in with tears and she looked away. "You don't understand" she said quietly. David laughed bitterly "Of course we don't! You are a murder! You are a Night person! And you are a Harman! You just want to convince us to say that the girl is one of us so Quinn can kill her for once!"

"But can't you see! He is fooling you!" She screamed in his face "He knows! He is a strong telepath!"

David found himself confused and speechless. He looked at Eric with the same expression on his face looking at the witch in front of them "What do you mean?"

Thea looked up and met the boy's gaze "Quinn knows she is not one of you" she said quietly before disappearing in the shadows.

Mary-Lynnette opened the window quietly. She didn't know what day or time it was, but she knew that it was dark and she wanted to see her stars. She managed to open it and she sat on the small balcony. It was a cold chill night, and there was snow everywhere. She hugged herself and she sat on the floor. The sky was full of them; she could see them clearly up there sparkling as a joke for her. It had been a long time since the last time she had stargazed, the last time she had done it, it had been with Jeremy two days before hell took place. Jeremy, the name came to her mind as a slap, she missed him so badly. She knew that right now, he would be hugging her closely to his body to keep her warm. She could feel his arms in her as a breeze, almost as a whisper. She wondered about him and didn't realize that she was not longer alone. The boy behind her didn't make a sound; he just stood there watching her. When he had first come to the room to check that she was not dead yet, he found the room empty. He didn't bother calling for his sisters, instead he found himself calm. He looked around his room and found the window towards his balcony open and then he knew. He took a deep breath and wondered if the girl had managed to jump and commit suicide, if she had done it there was still a chance for him to find her in her last breath. What he found instead was the girl looking at the sky, sitting on his floor with her arms around herself. He watched her for a while; she was a very simple human. Her long wavy brown hair was fierily dancing with the wind, her blue eyes were shining looking up the sky, and he followed her gaze and was lost in thought for a while. He looked down again just to find the place where she had just been empty. He looked around and found her a few meter away from her right next to balcony's grid looking at him with big eyes. He smirked, she didn't look scare of him or at least that's what she was trying to look, but her pulse betrayed her.

"Hello there" he said. The girl didn't answer but kept on looking at him watching every single one of his moves. "I see that you've found my balcony" she frowned when he said the word my.

"I didn't you this was your room" she said quietly. Her voice was hoarse and rough but he could hear the sweetness on it.

"Well, you are in my house after all" he said walking towards her slowly. She made a face which made him laugh. "I see… you don't like the idea, don't you?" he winked.

"No, I really don't…" she was watching him closely "I'm sorry if you are disappointed, I don't usually enjoy being around…" she cut herself quickly.

"Around what?" he said smirking. He knew that she was still scared from it.

"You know what…" she said looking away. He couldn't help himself but laugh about it.

"Vampires?" he finished for her "Come on, you can say, it's not a bad word" he said winking at her. She frowned.

"Kidnapers" she said quietly when he looked away "That's what I was going to say" The boy grinned.

"And what makes you think it was me the one who kidnapped you?" he said. She shook her head frustrated.

"I don't. That's the thing" she said after hesitate "Who are you?"

He looked at her and avoided her question "What happened to your hands?" he said noticing for the first time the burns on them. He was right next to her by now and her heart was pounding quickly.

"Nothing" she said hiding them. A flash of anger was reflected on his eyes, but it was gone too fast before she could analyze it.

"That didn't look like nothing" he said darkly. She looked at him and he looked at her, the tension between them was being replaced by something else, something that none of them could identify his eyes softed and they change into a soft light blue. She felt the urge to touch him but she closed her fist. She gasped in pain and let out a small moan. The spell they had been not long ago broke and he looked away quickly. She recovered and stared down to her hands, the skin was taking a brown colour.

"What the..." he said looking over her shoulder. She turned around and faced him. He looked perplex and confused "What happened?"

She frowned "What do you care?" The boy frowned as well and looked at her hands again "Who did this to you?" he turned around and went to one of the balcony's corner; she followed him with the gaze and noticed him grabbing some of the snow that was accumulated. He stood up and took her hands placing the snow in her hands, but before he could say something, an electric shock hit him followed by a pink gaze "What the…" he managed to say before he found himself more attached to the girl, "What is going on?" she asked, but then realized that the words never came of her mouth. He looked into her eyes and got lost in those big blue deep eyes. So blue as the sea, as the sky, so deep and blue, he thought. "Who are you?" he whispered. But a name came to his mind or her mind; he didn't know whose mind anymore, Mary-Lynnette. He carefully lifted his hands and cope her face on them bringing her closely to him. She closed her eyes and he found himself closing his. "Who are you?" she whispered. He could feel her breath caressing his lips, so warm and soft.

"Ash" he whispered "I'm Ash"

"Ash!" a voice behind them said brusquely. The spell broke and he turned quickly. A strong shiver went through Mary-Lynnette when she met the boy's dark eyes. He looked tall and elegant in contrast to the snow and his pale skin and black hair would make him look younger and mysterious.

"Quinn" Ash said bored. Mary-Lynnette held herself in the grid. Quinn looked bored as well but dead serious. "I wish to speak with you" he said "But if you are too busy preparing your dinner, I'll be back in a few seconds" he said with a mad smile playing on his lips. Mary-Lynnette started feeling dizzy, the pain in her hands was a reminder of what kind of man he was, what kind of monster he was. Ash nodded and Quinn turned around. Mary-Lynnette's pulse didn't stop there; it was furiously beating in her chest screaming to get out. Ash followed him without looking back leaving her there alone.

(A/N: I was about to finish here!)

Ash followed Quinn for the warm corridor, he remembered how once they used to be best friends, but those days had been long ago forgotten and buried in the back of his mind. Quinn was lethal, everybody knew that. You had to be a fool if you believed otherwise.

"My apologizes for interrupting your fun" Quinn said. Ash laughed darkly and waved away. "You haven't change Redfern" he said.

"Too sad I cannot say the same for you Quinn" Ash said darkly. Now it was Quinn's turn to laugh. They entered to the kitchen. "What are you doing in my house anyway?" Ash asked bored.

"So I'm guessing you have not realized it yet, have you?" Quinn said with a hint of humor playing on his voice. Ash frowned; he didn't feel like playing Quinn's games, he felt suddenly exhausted "I'm here because Hunter ordered me to" Ash froze and looked at Quinn.

"Why?" But Quinn just smile that sick smile of him. Ash shook his head and sat down bored.

"Hunter is wondering about the girl Ash, and he also wants me to give him some answers about the other two vermin we have back in the mansion" Quinn said sitting in front of him.

Ash chuckled "so?" Quinn kept on smiling.

"You have a new job Redfern, and it looks like you've started it without me telling you to do it" Quinn said "It looks like you do have a brain after all under all that blond hair of yours" Ash's smile disappeared completely and his face turned dark.

"Which reminds me, what happened to the girl?" He asked. Quinn chuckled "Sylvia decided to make her talk quickly, and you know her, she loves playing around" Ash's face was empty. "What did she do?" he asked.

Quinn waved him away as if it wasn't important "She burnt her" Something inside Ash clicked and anger filled him quickly. Quinn looked away and smiled madly.

"So you know what to do Redfern" he said "Play with her, feed from her, do whatever you have to do but get information from her" Ash nodded trying to calm himself "I have a plan and I need her to work with us, and from what I saw upstairs, I'm sure she'll trust you if you play your cards properly"

Ash nodded and Quinn stood up calmly. But the silence between them was soon broken by a small blond girl running into the kitchen.

"Sir! Sir!" she said out of breath. Ash looked at her bored. "What is it now Gillian?"

"Your sisters' sir!" she said catching up her breath. Ash looked at her quickly and stood up grabbing her by the arms "What about them?" he asked, Quinn next to him had the same curious expression as him.

"Sir! They are gone!" Gillian said.

I love torturing you guys! lol! don't kill me for my cliffys! hahahahahahhahahaha
