AN: I want this to be longer but I can never bring myself to make it longer then a 2,000 word count. So bare with me.

In a deep darkened cave the faint sounds of bubbling water and hissing steam could be heard down a quiet hallway. A single door can be seen, no name or window just a door knob. Opening the door, the room was just as dark as the hallway, unless the deeper someone goes. Only then will they see the light of a single lamp shining over a man hunched over his desk. Various viles were holding random liquids, all with different colors. The man held up a tiny glass bottle as he inserted a needle inside and began to extracting the liquid inside into his syringe.

"It's finished," he says to himself. Placing the glass down, the man walks around his desk and pulls back a curtain hanging up. A woman lay strapped to a solid surgical table. Wrists and ankles strapped down, her neck and head strapped down. She had red hair of fire and green eyes of leaves. The moment her eyes caught sight of the man she began to scream but soon found she was unable to. A piece of duct tape covered her pretty little mouth.

"Now, now. Don't move my dear, it'll only hurt a lot," he smiled wickedly. Gripping her head to keep it still, he turned it to the side and tested two areas to find a vein. The long silver needle slid into her neck once and some of the liquid was injected into her. He stopped half way and pulled the needle out only to press it back into her neck, but just above the hole he had just made. Injecting the rest of the concoction. Once all done, he stepped back and watched his work take action.

Not long after, the woman's body thrashed around and shook uncontrollably. Her eyes began to change from green to white and just as the man thought it had worked this time the woman gave a muffled piercing scream and instantly her body began to decay and rot off her bones. Steam slowly rising from the wreckage that was a young woman not but moments ago.

"Human bodies can't take all of that power in one go, it takes time,"

The man stared at the now skeleton. "I don't have time," he growled. "I barely have time for any of this but it has to be done,"

"We all die at one point or another Peter, you can't stop it,"

"Don't call me by that name," Peter spun around to glare at his visitor. "And I will find a way, watch,"

"You have infect two wolves and one vampire, a fairy and a witch, all of who died because I had to clean your damn mess up." The visitor, a man, spoke with calmness. "And now the Organization is getting suspicious. You need to stop this, now,"

"You need to know your place, dog,"

In a flash, the visitor had the man's throat in his hand and lifting him up. "You are pushing your fucking luck, freak, so either finish up whatever the hell you are doing or I will eat you right here,"

They had a stare off and each passing second, the visitors hand tightened around Peter's neck. Eventually, Peter tapped the mans arm to let him down.

"Answer me,"

"Fine," came the strangled whisper. And with that, Peter was let go. He fell to his feet and stepped away while rubbing his throat. "It will work," he grumbled and disappeared behind the curtain. The visitor turned to look at the skeleton and felt his heart sink. What was the point of all of this again? Why did he want to help such a pathetic excuse of a man?

Emma's House

"Her body isn't use to magic like mine, her body kind of just shut down to regain itself," Rummy explained to the five alphas at the dining room table.

"Kind of like when a werewolf goes through their first transformation," Granny added, "They sleep for days afterward to regain their strength,"

"Precisely," the mage nodded.

In the living room, Emma slept soundly while a certain woman watched her from the spot she sat at in the corner of the room by a window. Her eyes never left the slumbering wolf, to be frank she never wanted to look away from her. Valentina stood a few feet away from both and stared at Regina, longingly. She was a fairly beautiful woman. Long dark brown hair that was always straight. Fair tanned skin with eyes as blue as the sky. Her body was thin and shaped to perfection. All in all she was gorgeous. When she met Regina, her eyes gained a red rimmed color around the blue. And her skin lost its tan shade leaving her more pale then she had ever seen herself. But she hadn't minded any of that, so long she was able to live her life along side Regina.

Her eyes glanced towards Emma and something akin to rage filled her insides. She didn't like the way she and Regina stared at each other, didn't like it when they touched hands and she certainly didn't like it when Regina slapped her for yelling at the wolf. She was only doing her duty as a servant and protecting her Queen from some….dog.

"I can hear your thoughts Val, you need to think less and actually give the woman a chance," Regina's smooth voice traveled through the quiet living room. She had her cheek rested on her palm.

"She doesn't know who you are, you two just met and you're treating her like she's your equal?" Val spoke softly.

"She is my equal," Regina stated.

"She's a mutt, who was changed by an abomination," Val was getting upset which her voice carried the emotion well. "She's not even a pureblood,"

Regina glanced over to the woman, "Neither am I,"

"But you are the Queen,"

"By default, I'm not rightfully the Queen. I was chosen,"

Val fisted her hands. "Ambrogio chose you to rule after him, he saw potential in you,"

"I see potential In her,"

"Why?"

Regina stared at her servant. "Watch your tone,"

"Lady Mills, I have served you for years. Ever since you found me almost dead. I know you better then any other vampire and certainly any dog-"

"If you refer to them as dogs one more time I won't hesitate in ripping your tongue out and shoving it down your throat,"

Val closes her mouth at the threat, knowing full well Regina's words aren't empty threats. "I apologize Lady Mills," she bowed and kept her mouth shut the rest of the time they were there.

"For vampires, you guys aren't very quiet," came a groggy voice. Regina sat straight and smiled as she watched the woman sit up and stretch.

"I would apologize for waking you but we have somewhat been waiting all night and day for you to come back to the land of the living so," Regina stood from the chair, "Good morning, Miss Swan,"

Emma finished her stretching in the middle of the woman's speech and sat there staring at her by the end of it. "Good morning, Miss Mills," she gave her a smile that, unbeknownst to the werewolf, had Regina feeling weird things at the pit of her stomach.

"I see you've finally graced us with your presence,"

Granny had been standing by the living room arch way as she heard the conversation between Queen and Servant. When she heard Emma's voice she decided to make herself known.

"Hi Granny," Emma chuckled. She pulled the blankets back and stood up, stretching once more. The shirt she wore rose a bit to show off her belly button and yes, Regina let her eyes stare far too long.

"Shall we go talk about what you saw?" Granny asked with a hand held out to her. Emma looked at the hold woman and took the offered hand, walking with her back into the dining room, giving Regina a side look.

"You lust for her,"

"No," Regina shook her head, "It's something more then that,"

With everyone now sitting at the table, Emma explained what she saw. Exactly how it was to the T. As she spoke, something about the story gave Regina a sense of déjà vu.

"No heart. It looked like she was completely cleaned out of any organs. And there were no two holes on her neck so maybe it couldn't have been the same thing," Emma said dejectedly.

"We can't rule out the possibility of it being a werewolf just yet Emma, this is good news," Vincent gave a smile to the woman. "We have to think also about the bodies. Were they special in anyway?"

Allen looked at him, confused. "What do you mean?"

"Well, how are we sure they weren't bitten before they were killed?" Vincent continued his theory. "For all we know they could of all been vampires, that's why I brought Regina here,"

The woman stepped forward. "I assume you have files for each one?" she asked.

Vincent pulled out a suit case and opened it, four files sat inside. "Emma has the fifth file,"

"It's at my office though,"

Granny patted her shoulder, "No worries, I'll call Ruby and have her bring it over," with that she stood and walked to Emma's house phone. Meanwhile, Regina picked the first file up and skimmed through. She stopped to read the background then shook her head.

"No, she wasn't one of mine,"

Tossing it aside she grabbed another. For the next hour she took the time to examine each file, saying the negative to the ones who she doesn't know.

"There was two werewolves in there, a fairy and a witch, none of them were mine," she confirmed and placed each file into the suit case.

"What about the woman you and Emma saw, Vincent?" Sue asked.

"She was neither nor a creature. I smelt pure human from her and she had no small holes in her neck so I gathered that she was just a feast for our little friend." He answered.

Suddenly the front door opened and in walked Ruby. File in hand. "Here you are," she said to her grandma who hugged her a thanks.

"Thank you child, meet me at the diner. I wanna have dinner with you,"

Ruby smiled brightly at her grandma and glanced into the dining area where she spotted Emma and smiled instantly. The Alpha wolf stood and walked up to her.

"Here you go," Granny handed the file to Regina, who opened it and skimmed the file.

"You want to stay?" Emma asked. She never liked to hide things from her Beta, they were a team. Ruby managed a polite no.

"Granny doesn't want me to stay, so I won't,"

Emma frowned a bit, "But, you're my beta, if I want you to stay you should be able to,"

Ruby couldn't help the warmth that took over her heart. Emma was her best friend, at one time she was her crush but neither girl could act on it. So they stayed as friends and it seemed to work out. There were times Emma felt the need to have Ruby near her, if only for moral support. She knew it was selfish but she's human and humans enjoyed being selfish. Ruby stepped forward and slipped her arms around Emma's waist in a hug. Emma lifted her arms to wrap around her shoulders.

"I won't be a beta for long Em," she whispered in the blonde woman's ear, "but I will always be your beta,"

Emma chuckled into Ruby's shoulder. "You're such a sap,"

Ruby pulled from the hug and left a soft kiss to her alpha's cheek. "I'll see you later babes," she winked before slipping out of the front door.

"He is mine. He left Italy for jobs here in America," Emma could hear Regina's voice drift into her ears and remembered where she was. Regina had begun explaining the contents of the file, "He wanted a life here, so he hid the best he could," she stared at the pictures of his neck, her eyes narrowing. "But those holes are not mine. Mine heal, these look weeks old,"

This rose more questions for everyone. Emma walked back to her seat, missing the looks she got from Regina.

"Who do you think it is, if not a vampire?" Allen asked.

"I have no clue, but the holes to a vampire bite are larger then these for sure," Regina closed the file and set it on the table, looking at every one. "Whoever did this, they are using needles in some shape or form,"

She glanced over to Emma and when calm sea green eyes caught roaring fire, Emma could see as well as feel the jealousy coming off of the vampire woman. She felt her heart skip a beat before looking away to stop the feelings her body began to make.
