As Garris and Abby took up their posts by the door, Addison called his boss to announce the Sanctuary Network was finally gone.
"Helen I want you to know, you were always special to me. You were the truest friend I ever had. And I've loved you from the day we met." Nikola whispered.
"Nikola your memories are gone. How can you be sure?" Helen asked.
"My heart remembers you." Nikola smiled. Helen looked at him carefully and smiled back.
"That's the cheesiest thing I ever heard in my life." Kate said, trying to get out of her bonds. Addison leaned over her and smiled.
"Sorry sweetheart. That's double enforced nylon with steel fibers. you would have to be a vampire to get out of it.
Nikola surreptitiously grew out one nail and carefully cut the bonds on Helen's wrist.
"How do you know we aren't vampires?" Will asked, determinedly not looking at Nikola.
"I know I haven't been on the job as long as you, Sport. But I DO know the vampires were all wiped out centuries ago."
Will licked his lips. He knew from the way Magnus was turned, she and Nikola had something planned. Their only hope was to keep Addison distracted.
"So you never met a vampire?"
Addison snorted with derision, a sound that perfectly covered the snapping noise of Helen's cords breaking. One wrist was free.
"No. No one alive has ever met a vampire. Not even Dr Magnus, or Professor Tesla. I hope you haven't spent too much time searching for vampires."
"No, I can honestly say we have never actively went in search of vampires." Will said, fighting to keep his face straight.
"Although They would be worth a fortune on the Black market." Kate said as though she were thinking aloud. "One fingernail and you would have a topnotch knife."
Will smiled, knowing the exact Knife Kate was referring to. The one Magnus always carried in her left boot, courtesy of Nikola Tesla in the early 1930s
Addison chuckled, and Nikola took the opportunity to snap the rest of Helen's bonds.
"I see you haven't completely given up your past."
Kate and growled and lunged forward. Helen grabbed her vampire knife and leaped into her feet, cutting Nikola free as Addison pushed Kate off and drew a gun from his pocket, firing at Tesla. Helen cut Will and Kate's bonds as fast as she could.. Nikola fell back a step back and look down.
" You got blood on my new hoodie " he vamped.
Addison backed away."Impossible!"
" The last sanguine vampuris alive on the planet." Helen nodded "The Sourceblood had a rather drastic effect on him."
Addison sneered and turned his gun on her. "One more step from ANY of you" He threatened
Kate and Will look to Magnus, who was pale with fury. There was a sudden bang and a small pop. Nikola tackled
Helen to the floor, shielding her with his own body
