Authors note: Hey,guys! Wow the awesome reviews for the chapter blew me away. Bianca will be remembered. She was my best support character I ever wrote. It broke my heart to do that to her but it was necessary for the plot and development. Ok, here goes...*Squeal* Demitri enters the story! Yay. Updates might be a little spaced out now that I'm working on my Transformers fic. It's called Stealing the Sun if anyone wants to check it out. My Tumblr is also The_majestic_crystalion.

Chapter 12:

The wonderful darkness, that soothing abyss she had welcomed with open arms was churning. It was slipping. Aurora desperately clawed at it, trying to pull herself back in. She couldn't do this, couldn't face the outside without Bianca. Bianca was her rock, she kept her grounded and sane.

She was slowly becoming aware of her surroundings. Cold, strong arms were cradling her to an ice, cold chest. It was oddly, comforting. Groaning out, she tried to move but the arms tightened around her. "Shhh. I'm right here. Aurora, I got you."

She jerked and turned her head. Demitri's red eyes looked back at her. He tightened his grip even more. "D..Demitri. ...Bianca." His eyes took on a pitying look. "I'm sorry, Aurora."

Her eyes started to brim with tears. "You..You found me." He gave a strained smile. "It's a gift." Aurora narrowed her eyes. "How?" Demitri stopped. Sighing, he turned down a hallway. Aurora took the moment to take in her surroundings. They were back in the the castle. He stopped in front of a door and stepped inside a bedroom. Striding over to the bed he set her down.

"How?" Aurora asked again, this time more forcefully. Demitri's hand went up to the back of his head and he sighed. "Look, if I tell you, you can't panic. None of that hysterical screaming or fainting crap that you human females do when you're told unbelievable things."

Aurora glared at him. "I just found my best friend dead, she drowned in her own blood. I don't think that whatever you tell me will make me faint. So try me." Demitri nodded. "Okay." He paused and Aurora threw her hands up and shouted. "Jesus, Demitri! Just tell me."

"Fine." He growled out. "I'm a vampire." Aurora was quiet for a couple of seconds and then she burst out laughing. Demitri hissed in anger. "Stop" Her laughing died down. Shaking her head, she gasped out. "oh god. You're delusional."

"Whose delusional?" Heidi walked into the room. Demitri seethed, this was not how he planned for this to work. "Oh, Heidi. Demitri thinks he's a vampire." Heidi froze. "You told her." Demitri shrugged. "She was going to find out eventually. She doesn't believe me though."

Aurora looked up at Heidi, confusion in her eyes. "Heidi?" Heidi walked over to her, kneeling down to her level. "Sweetheart, he's telling the truth. We are vampires. Everyone who works here except you." Aurora had paled. "Prove it."

Heidi sighed and then got up. There was a gush of wind and Aurora looked up to see Heidi across the room. Aurora's breathing came faster. Demitri walked over to the window. Pulling open the curtains he stood into the light. The effect was brilliant. Bright lights reflected off of his skin. The reflections dancing on the walls, giving off the impression of a diamond in the sunlight.

Aurora fell off the bed. "H..how" She was panicking, crawling away from the two. Oh god. Grant had found her, Bianca was dead because of her, and she worked for vampires. Demitri stepped forward. "Aurora..." He came closer.

"GET AWAY!" Aurora screamed, she could feel the fear creeping back up on her. Demitri got closer. "STAY AWAY FROM ME!" Demitri dropped to the ground, gagging. It was like he was being ripped apart, his body trying to go one way and his mind fighting to go to her.

Heidi ran forward, dropping to Demitri's side. She looked up at Aurora, figuring out what was happening. "Aurora stop! Let him go." Aurora shot her head up. "What?" Heidi snarled at her. "Let him go." Her eyes widened, realizing what she was doing, she calmed down.

Demitri let out ragged breaths. Vampires didn't need to breathe but he had felt like he was drowning. Fighting her compulsion was painful. Not as painful as Jane but he still wouldn't add that to his list of things do.

Aurora let out a shaky breath. "So... y..you're vampires." Demitri laughed out. "Yes." Aurora tilted her head. "How many of there are you." Heidi gave her a glare. "Many around the world." Demitri nodded. "And we make sure they don't break the rules."

Aurora tilted her head. "Rules." Heidi sighed. "Yes, rules. So humans don't find out about our existence. If one breaks the rules we find them. The masters hand out judgment and we take care of them."

"So you're like vampire police." She stated. "Who are the masters?"

Demitri nodded. "Kind of. The master's are like the royalty of vampires." Heidi stiffened. "Aro will want to meet her." Aurora scrambled back again. "See me! Why?" Demitri held out his hands. "Whoa. Calm down. You know about us and he would be interested in your compulsion." Heidi smiled. "He might want you to join the guard."

"The guard. I've only down it once before this." Aurora stuttered out. "Yes but your gifted." Heidi stated. "Would I be like you?" Demitri's head shot up. "Yeah." She sat for a minute. "So Grant can't get me." There was resolve in her eyes. "I could get him back for Bianca."

Heidi narrowed her eyes. "Aurora. Who is Grant?"
