I watched her sleeping. For a second I felt bad, but that was a thought so miniature it wouldn't change my plans or decisions. Lucy was lying on the far end of the room, chained. I could be nice…..but not that nice! There were cuts and bruises littering her body from when I had moved her, I was a little ruff- she practically lives with vampires she will be fine.

I admired from a far…this was going to be fun. It had been 2 days now and still no revenge, maybe it was time to give them a little push. I smirked. Then I advanced on the defenceless girl….

Something was up….I could feel it.

Maybe I was just being cranky, but I hadn't seen Lucy in a couple of days and I was also worried for my sister. I heard my brother, Sebastian downstairs, that was odd he wasn't meant to be back from the caves for at least another week! I was down stairs in the blink of an eye.

My brother had obviously had similar thoughts, because they were all already lounging in the living room, also my parents were sitting in the chair. Solange was sitting by the fireplace her shades a new feature to her look. I wouldn't dare mention that out loud she would probably chew my head off. Proving my point that girls were weird.

This is odd the last time we had a family meeting…. I didn't want to think about it all I knew was that this never was a good thing!

"So what's up, and do I need to rearrange my date with hunter?" Quinn piped up with a smirk that made me shudder at what they might be getting up to.

Mum silenced him and any other questions with 'the look' now I knew something was up.

Dad spoke from his chair "there have been reports that there is a rogue vampire in violet Hill. We are still unsure of his plans; however he has been sighted sniffing round the outskirts of our home. I want you to be aware and not go out and do something stupid!" a sharp glare piercing us all and lingering on mum.

She just stared back with a face that said 'I will do as I please'. I held back a laugh and glimpsed my brothers doing the same.

Logan piped up something that made many of us grimace "Where is Lucy isn't she normally sprinkling her sarcasm and trouble in these meetings?" sending a wink at me!

"Don't look at me I haven't seen her for a bit, Sol?" I was a bit grumbled at admitting this. I bit back the panic that was starting to set in and looked at Sol poi tingly

I saw mixed looks run through everyone's faces. Lucy was like family to all of us, a bit more to me. The fact she hadn't been her was odd. I saw my mum excuse herself and the clicking of the phone in the hall.

Sol replied "I haven't trusted myself anywhere near her yet, if we had met you would probably be able to hear her!" I saw the small smile that lit her face many of us mirrored her reaction. Lucy was unique, and was someone who wouldn't be forgotten. She was amazing….and totally mine!

Quinn's wolf whistle snapped me out of my thoughts….I hoped I hadn't said that out loud. From the glances I was getting it was obvious that I did. I groaned my brothers would never let me live this one down. I sat back in my chair and pretended not to hear the muttered comments of see the looks painted across my families face. Having a vampire family, can sometimes suck.

Before anyone could comment further there was a slamming of the door and Hunter and Isabeau walk in with an aura that screamed determined and on a mission. Hunter held up an intricate and colourful looking earing.

"It's Lucy's!" she grimly stated.

I wasn't the only one to notice that it was covered in blood!
