The night is always beautiful, except when you start hearing voices.

I hadn't enjoyed staying in the hotel ordering room service, so I ventured out. Most of my time was spent at the Trevi Fountain. I had read so much about it and I couldn't wait to see it. Of course, I wanted to see it with my boyfriend, but . . . one, he was asleep when I left and two, I'm still just a tad scared.

He wouldn't hurt me, right? He loved me?

'No . . .' a voice in my head said, 'He doesn't love you. He set out to . . . kill you because of Alexander's mistakes . . ."

Great. Vampires, now voices. I grasped my purse and hurried away from the public eye. No sense of making myself a fool.

'But you . . . are a fool. He took you away from family, friends . . . Becky, lovely pregnant Becky . . . She'll hate you for not being there for her.'

Oh, god. Who are you?

'Worthless daughter, sister, worthless friend, worthless girl. Trevor . . . Trevor has been looking . . . Alexander . . . poor Alexander . . . He was going to take you with him. He loved you and you broke him . . . He'll never understand . . .'

And I saw black.

I awoke to the same room as I had earlier today, but this time I hard arms wrapped around me.

"What happened to me?" I whispered. The last thing I remembered was an alley way and that awful voice . . .

"I was hoping you could tell me, love . . . I found you, unconscious in an alley by the Trevi."

"I was hearing a voice. A man's voice. In my head. He kept saying things. So many things. Bad things about me, which I can handle, bad things about you and Alexander . . ."

"We're leaving. Right now."

Her face was flushed and wet from crying. She sniffled. "Where?"

"Romania. My family and the Sterlings may be the only ones who can help us."

"Why?"

"Because we're in danger." I couldn't bear to tell her what we were in trouble from. A murderous couple . . . Fun and money . . . A vampire hunter and one of the strongest vampires in existence teamed up once before. Amelia Sargon and Scorpius Azezel. She killed vampires for her job and he did it for love.

As my mother told the story, Amelia was hired to kill Scorpius, but while she was stalking her prey (funny, the roles being switched) she fell in love, just as he fell in love with her. When it came time to strike, she explained to him. Her life being raised to kill those of his kind and she explained why she couldn't kill him. Scorpius, being so in love decided to help her in killing his own kind.

Anyway, they killed countless vampires, shifters, witches, weres, and etcetera, etcetera. And to believe it was only years ago . . .

"Jagger," Raven sniffled. "I'm ready to go."

She hated being weak and human, that much was obvious. But her being anything other than human would stir the pot even more. Someone had it out for us and her being a vampire would endanger her even more.

Certainly Amelia wouldn't kill a teenage human . . . but if she had Scorpius with her again . . . He would kill and enjoy the fresh blood.

"I saw you kill that man at the airport."

"What?" How on—Oh fucking shit fuck. She was who followed me. She was the one who made the racket . . . great and probably Sargon too.

"From the plane, the guy that—"

"Curiosity killed the cat."

"I know."

Raven was still shaken. She could handle physical attacks, or how I used to play mind games, but full-fledged speaking into her head . . . I shudder to think of what was to come next . . . Mind control or making her forget who she is?

I didn't want to find out. I would attack first.

Amelia POV

Scorpius' gift took a lot out of the girl. That much was sure, but it seems to have strengthened her and Jagger's bond . . .

I remembered when I loved, when I was loved . . . Nothing could have broken our bond . . . except for my own idiocy and fright.

"Mommy, do we have to go on a plane again? They make my tummy feel weird."

"Well, yes . . . unless . . . go play with your toys. Your daddy and I need to talk, okay, sweet?" I kissed Sir's forehead before I looked at Scorpius. "Unless you can watch him."

"I'm coming with you."

"No! I mean, I—I see the toll you had on Raven . . . I remember how that felt." Suddenly I felt a tear roll down my cheek. "She's only a girl, but I . . . I have to do this or I'll never have another job again."

"I've told you so many times before, min kärlek, you never have to work again. Just let me support you and Sirius. You know I can."

"Oh, please we both know I have too much pride for that."

"That's true."

And then he kissed me.

What could be wrong with that other than it felt so damn right.

My eyes scanned over the passengers and I saw them.

Amelia had bright blue eyes and long auburn hair. Her skin was pale and she was tall. She wore simple clothing, jeans and a tee.

Then, there was Scorpius with white-blonde hair. Tall, black eyes. Of course, dressed in the finest.

But they weren't alone . . . There was a child in between them.

"Mommy," he whined. "Daddy, how do planes fly?"

Amelia smiled. "Well, that's a bit technical for me . . . Think you could explain, Scorp?"

"Yes," he answered. I saw his eyes flick towards me, and her eyes followed. Smiling he turned back to his family. "But first, I think it's getting rather late for you, Sirius. Go to sleep. We'll wake you when we land." He kissed the child's forehead .

Oh, god.

If we got rid of them, then he'd have no parents.

Oh, fucking hell.

Dun, dun, dun.

I know, I know, it always take so long to update and I'm sorry, it's just, I really had no idea what to do. So last night I woke up at two in the morning after a dream of this and wrote it out.
