again, this time in shock, as I slowly meet Niko's eyes, and feel myself begin to tremble pathetically. I trail my eyes down to his cheek, and see his blood begin to pool at the scratches I had made, and slowly drip down his porcelain cheek.

" Ravyn... Get... B-behind... Me." Robyn gets out between his pants, slowly pushing himself in front of me, as Niko falls silent, and doesn't say a single word. Robyn gives a deep growl, but I notice he is weaker then what he usually is, and I know his protection won't be at its best... I slowly push myself away from the archway, my bum scooting across the cold floor, as fear strikes through me, and I begin to whimper.

Alec surprises me by kneeling beside Niko, gently grabbing his chin in-between his long fingers, and pulling his head to the side so his bleeding cheek can be seen by the Pureblood. Niko's left eye closes, his nose slightly crinkling, as Alec leans up, and runs his tongue across the three scratches.

" Thanks Al..." Niko murmurs, affectionately ruffling the younger boy's hair, as Alec nods in silent response, and pulls back. My eyes widen in shock, as I see Niko's cheek is completely healed, and all that's left to remind anyone that it was there is a small patch of saliva... Which quickly disappears on his skin.

He turns his eyes suddenly towards me, the fierceness of his simple gaze causing me to lower my head, as my tail wraps around my slim waist, and I give a small whimper again. I try to scoot back, but I suddenly hit a wall... And I give a terrified wail.

" What did I do?" A voice behind me says, which only increases my fear, as I cover my ears with my hands, and cower pathetically in the middle of the scary Vampires. The wall I had bumped into suddenly moves away from me, and I fall backwards. I hear an animalistic growl, and my cheeks burn instantly, as I realize my nether regions are on full view.

Robyn, plucking up all the energy his drained body can, plants himself firmly in front of me, shielding my bareness from view, as I pull myself up into a sitting position, wrap my legs around Robyn's waist, pressing myself against him like a second skin, and bury my face into the back of his neck.

" Come here Kit... Now." Niko says, that scary, deathly calm voice taking hold, which scares me to the very core, as I give a muffled whimper, and squeeze Robyn tightly. Robyn gives a soft groan at how hard I'm squeezing him, but I don't lessen my iron grip.

I peek out from within Robyn's hair, my eyes brimming with tears, as Niko and Alec slowly rise to their feet, and begin to stalk towards us. I whimper again, this time my tears actually falling down my cheeks, as I lock eyes with the Vampire, and begin to cry.

" You're scaring him you Asshole!" Robyn seethes, his fatigue being quickly replaced with his adrenaline for my safety, as Niko and Alec get up to the two of us, and halt. Alec swoops down, takes Alec in his arms, despite me being the one who is hanging onto him like a crazy Mental patient, and steps back.

Robyn kicks and growls, trying his hardest to get out of Alec's grasp and to me, but Alec is far too strong for the fatigued boy to get away from, and he eventually gives up with a strangled whimper of his own. I squeeze my eyes shut, the tears still running from them wildly, as I pull my knees up a bit, my tail wrapped loosely around me, and rub at my eyes with my fists... Whining, sobbing, sniffling, and whimpering like a pathetic child.

" Come here..." Niko says, causing me to slowly open my teary eyes, as I feel his presence get stronger and stronger, and I come face-to-face with the scary calm Vampire. I sniffle, feeling that familiar itch to lash out from feeling too cornered, as I slowly inch backwards, unable to do anything else, and try to push down my intense urge to lash out again.

" Come. Here." Niko commands softly, his eyes telling me not to disobey him, as I stop moving back instantly, and just stay still from fear. I cower under the Vampire's gaze, my fear getting the best of me, and hold his intense stare... I have no idea how I'm managing to keep this terrifying man's gaze, but I'm doing it! Somehow...

" I'm... Sor-sorry Niko..." I whisper, surprised at how weak and small my voice sounds, as I slowly scoot forward, and shakily raise my hand. I gently brush my fingers across the cheek I had scratched, and he catches my wrist in his hand. I flinch slightly, my eyes huge and still full of tears, as he gently pulls my hand away from his cheek, and suddenly gives a sharp yank.

I yelp softly, my whimpers increasing, as his hand around my wrist tightens, and his other arm snakes around my waist. I flatten my ears, not really sure what I should do, as he growls Dominantly, and nips at the shell of my ear. I give a whimper, not liking his sudden change in Aura and attitude, as he abruptly pulls away from me, and looks down at me.

" You do NOT scratch me like that Ravyn." He says sternly, but I barely pay him any mind, because the scent of female wearing far too much perfume floods my nose, and I catch the sound of heels clicking on the floor... Getting closer and closer to the Kitchen.

Forgetting, for a moment, that I'm getting scolded and I'm in trouble, I give a loud whimper of fear, and throw myself at Niko... Using him as my Protection. He gently pulls me closer to him, also seeming to forget about my current Naughtiness, and stands up.

The heels get closer and closer, and louder and louder, until they finally halt... And I'm met with a light brunette with way too much make-up, her breasts hanging out, a really short skirt on, and light blue eyes. Nearly as light as Alec's, but not as beautiful as his are.

" Hey Baby! I was just coming over to say hi! I missed you while you were gone!" She says in a sickly sweet voice, the pure sound of it making me flinch away from how loud and high-pitched it is, as she struts up to Niko and myself, seeming to disregard the fact that I'm currently being held on his hip, and places a hand on his bicep.

" What do you want Alayna... I need to get my Beloved fed. And stop calling me that sickening pet-name." Niko says in a dull, emotionless voice, pulling his arm away from her grasp, which then, in turns, makes her turn her attention towards me, and I see disgust fill her eyes.

" This... is your Chosen?! I thought you needed a strong Queen?" Alayna says with a sneer, her cruel words making me frown, as I look up at Niko, who's jaw is ticking with anger, and slowly poke at his cheek.

He turns his attention down towards me, and I see his eyes soften. He gently kisses my nose, before he turns away from Alayna, who seems really upset, and walks up to the Island counter where Alec already sits with Robyn on his lap. He takes a seat, placing me on his lap, and, a moment later, a plate full of food I haven't seen, or eaten for that matter, in a long time.

" Here you go Princess." Niko coos softly, holding up a forkful of the scrambled egg, as I tentively sniff at it, only to jerk my head back, as the scent, potent and putrid, hits my sensitive glands, and my stomach rolls with a sudden wave of nausea.

" You need to eat..." Niko says sternly, his voice holding a slight warning to it, as I shake my head with a whine of protest, and turn my face to the side.

" Yes Weakling... Eat." Alayna suddenly butts in, and an uncontrollable urge to punch her in the throat takes hold... What is happening to me?! I never act like this! I'm not a violent person... Or at least... I wasn't.
