"If you want to survive I suggest to stay silent." Andromeda hissed to the newborn as she dragged her through an abandoned drug house. The newborn struggled in her grip a familiar scent filling her lungs.

Andy pushed the girl in front of her though the doors to the room where she had left the other one. The newborn had pulled himself back together and was just lying on the bed staring at the ceiling the blood bag next to him was untouched. The oldest vampire looked at him in slight confusion. For a newborn to exercise such control was unheard of. Whatever was on his mind was enough to distract from the scent of blood, meaning one thing. He was mated.

The more she looked at him the more she compared him to her brother looking for differences. Where Tydeus had the same thick, curly black hair, their lips were a different shape. The newborns wide eyes were larger than her brother's, but they shared the same faint olive toned vampire skin. From this angle she could tell he was lean but muscular and around 6 feet tall.

The strange teleporting vampire would threaten her, but continued to save her life. Bree couldn't understand her. Her actions did not reflect the words that came out of her mouth, and so she questioned her more only to get scolded.

All thoughts left her mind as she smelled a sweet spicy scent inside an abandoned house. She struggled in the grip of the vampire wanting desperately to reach the source of the scent. The chanting came back in her mind, Diego, Diego, Diego.

Her jaw dropped as she entered a rotting room. Floorboards had been torn up, and the roof had a few holes. The windows were shattered and the wind blew through carrying the stench of damp wood. But what caught her attention was the figure on the stained bed.

His clothes were torn and she could clearly see where they had torn him apart. She couldn't help the growl at the thought of someone hurting him. His pitch eyes narrowed as he shot into an upright position and glared at her, only to have the glare fall so shock and disbelief covered his features. "Bree." They had been separated only a couple of days but his voice sill sent shivers down her spine.

"Diego." She said pulling out of Andy's grip as she tackled him in a comforting embrace.

Andy allowed a small smile to cross her lips at the sight of the reunited mates, for a second, then quickly covered it with a stoic mask. She didn't want to get attached, not if the chances of their survival was in the lowest possible percentile. She made her way to the window as the pair spoke in hushed whispers on the bed.

Her ruby eyes scanned the area with trepidation. He wasn't far behind them, and she knew it. She lifted her head and took a deep breath making a disgusted face as the smell of the house and street, but it was the hints of a minty scent that had her looking around furiously.

She could pick up the scents of vampires, the same sweet and inviting scent that they all have, one of which she was more inclined to follow, the other not unfamiliar, but definitely a danger.

"We don't have much time, we need to leave." She spoke not turning her attention from the street below.

"Who are you?" It was the male that spoke. He had an American accent, which was to be expected given he lived here. It was just another difference between him and her brother.

"Name's Andromeda, call me Andy." She told him, "and you two are going to die if we don't get moving, now."

"What?" The female spoke in surprise.

"Even after I took you, you didn't think they would let you live did you?" Andy raised a brow at the pair that were clinging to each other.

"Can you take us away, somewhere safe?"

"He won't stop." Her voice held a certain fondness. "I can take you to the other side of the world and he will still follow. It's his job to hunt people, and I can't out run him with you two tagging along."

"What can we do?" She looked lost as Andy's eyes darted between the pair as she thought up a plan.

"You need to find a shield, someone who can block the connection with your mind and his."

"Fred." Bree spoke surprise in her voice, "he can help."

"What Freaky Fred?" Diego asked her and she nodded.

"We need to leave." Andy spoke picking up movement outside the house. "Now. Where is this Fred?"

"He said he'd wait in Vancou-" Bree didn't get to finish the sentence as the door slammed open and an enraged vampire entered at speed. Andy was quick to react and tackled him to the floor ignoring the pleasure at the contact with his form.

"You're alone darling, Felix is not as fast as you," she teased while she straddled his form holding both his hands down with a smirk on her lips.

"You're harboring fugitives love, I'm just doing my job." He replied matching her smirk his face only inches from hers as they glared at each other.

"Should we give them a moment?" Diego whispered to Bree as they watched the older vampires interact. His words broke Andy out of her reverie and she gave the vampire beneath her a peck on the lips before quickly teleporting to the newborn's sides.

Though Demetri was fast as well, and not an idiot by any means. His arms wrapped tightly around her waist before she could make contact with them and he held her back against his chest. "You're a tease."

"Yep," she replied not ashamed of her actions at all. She placed her hands on the ones around her waist as a dangerous smirk worked her way onto her lips. She tightened her grip and pictured their destination.

"Wow," Diego commented as he watched her disappear his eyes on the spot in awe. "Didn't know we could do that."

"I think it works like Fred." Bree replied holding tightly to his arm. "We can't stay here, she said there is another one."

"You're right, let's go." He said lacing his fingers with hers and they both headed to the door side by side their backs turned on the room.

They both spun back as a figure landed with a thud, in a splash of water. She was giggling uncontrollably as she rolled off her back and climbed to her feet looking very much like a drowned rat. "Oh he's going to kill me." She grinned widely and grabbed the blood bag on the bedside that Diego had forgotten. He could feel his blood lust rise as she swallowed the cold liquid.

"What did you do?" Bree asked and she smiled broadly in response.

"I might have dropped him in the middle of the lake." She chuckled walking over to the pair, "we should go though, and Felix will be here any second." She grabbed Bree's hand and held one out to Diego.

He looked to Bree who nodded in encouragement as he slid his hand into hers. "So, Vancouver."

*****

"I'm going to kill her." Demetri spoke walking towards the abandoned house where Felix stood trying in vain to keep a straight face.

His friend was dripping wet holding his grey coat in his hand as he tried to squeeze the water out of it.

Felix opened his mouth to comment only to stop catching the look in Demetri's eye.

"Don't, just don't." The tracker said with a glare heading for a clothes shop.

*****

"Why did you save us?" Bree asked the blonde as she returned from a shop wearing black jeans a black tank and grey coat that fell to mid-thigh. Her wet hair was braided back off her face and she wore sunglasses to hide her eyes. She handed a pair to each of the newborns as well.

"Would you believe me if I tell you I like you?"

"No."

"Fair enough. Truth is, if you weren't his mate, I probably would have let you die." She said simply.

"But how did you know?"

"That natural fear of me that you can feel, and don't deny it, I know you both do, it comes with age. There are only two things that would cause you to attack someone like me. Your mate. And blood." She then turned her attention to Diego, "and you. I was going to put you out of your misery days ago but you remind me of someone. That's why I didn't."

"Who?" Diego asked curiously.

"He was my brother. Anyway tell me more about this Fred character." Andy asked changing the subject as she walked ahead of the young mates towards Riley Square.

"He was like a brother to me." Bree explained, "I would hide behind him."

"And you think he will be able to hide you from the tracker?"

"Victoria liked him, he was special" Diego explained, "He could repel anyone."

"But you two?"

"It's not so bad when you sit behind him." Bree explained, "but he makes himself repulsive to people, he could easily clear a room. He made Riley forget him."

"Hmm, that's a useful defensive talent."

Fred sat on a park bench waiting. He was waiting for Bree and Diego hoping that they made it away from Riley in time. He sighed at his watch, time was up. With a heavy heart he rose to his feet and turned to make his way elsewhere.

"Fred!" He heard a voice he never thought he would hear again. His only true friend.

This Fred character was quite tall in Andy's eyes. He was broad and muscular with bright curly blonde hair. He was handsomely attractive more so than most of their species, but in the back of her mind something was forcing her to look away. She watched as Bree and Diego approached the man with smiles and hung back a little so they could reunite.

"Who's your friend?" He asked Bree shyly and Andy smiled warmly at him.

"I'm Andromeda, you can call me Andy."

"Is that Greek?" He asks and she nods. "I wouldn't mind going there."

"I haven't been there since the eleventh century." Andy replied and the newborn's eyes widen in surprise. "Your ability is quite something, Bree was explaining on the way over."

"What do you want with it?" He asks getting defensive as he pushed Bree behind him.

"Me, nothing. Them on the other hand."

"What she's trying to say is there are some vampires after us and we need them to forget us." Bree informed.

"I'll let you three chat." Andy tells them as she heads towards the shops, "you have about twenty minutes before the tracker gets here."

"You guys head further inland and stay to the woods, I'll draw them away," Andy says returning from a convenience store with two phones interrupting their conversation on what they should do. One she handed to Bree, the other she pocketed. "Call if you catch their scent."

"Wait where are you going, please don't leave us." Bree pleaded.

"Be smart, and hide your kills, I won't be too far, and I will come back. Just stay hidden." She says to each of the newborns, "If Fred doesn't make me forget that is." She winked at the blonde and vanished.

*****

Andy made it to the San Francisco making sure to keep Demetri and Felix on her tail by not teleporting. She just ran plain and simple.

She crossed paths with another sweet smelling scent as she made her way down the streets and slowed to a walk. "A confederate buddy of mine said you would come this way." A deep male voice with a Southern accent spoke up from the shadows. She didn't recognise the male's scent so maintained a good amount of distance between them.

"Does this buddy of yours have a name?" She questioned tilting her head slightly as a tall male stepped from the shadows. He stood easily well over six feet, somewhere between Demetri and Felix's height. He had a lanky build, with brown hair and stubble with the common red eyes of a vampire.

"Peter." He replied and she felt her weariness fall a little.

"What did he want?"

"He and Charlotte had come across something while travelling in Madrid." She stiffened at the name of Mathias's former residence. "He said you would be interested in it and handed it on to me. Somehow he knew you would cross my path."

"He knows too much that boy." She mused, "What's your name?"

"Garrett."

"Well pleasure to meet you Garrett, I'm Andy." She said shaking his hand enthusiastically. "So what is it?" She watched as the nomad reached into his pocket and pulled a letter out handing it to her.

There were no words on the cover of it, just a red seal that had her eye's narrowing in hatred. "Thank you." She nodded to him, "if you don't want to cross paths with the Volturi I suggest you be on your way, otherwise you're welcome to stay."

"I think I'll pass." He replied wandering away, "I've got some British tourists to kill."

Andy glared at the paper in her hand and glanced up at the nearby building. She quickly scaled the side to the roof, shoving her hands in her pockets as she waited patiently.

She felt them both arrive as she gazed out over the harbor. "I've been waiting for you two." She said spinning and waltzing towards them. She stuck her hand out in greeting to the large one. "I'm Andy, we haven't officially met yet."

"Felix."

"I know."

"What have you done Andromeda?" Demetri scowled as she faced him with a grin. They were both wearing dry clothes but their damp hair was evidence enough of their last encounter.

"Ooh now I truly feel as though I'm being scolded."

"You know I'm under orders to kill your little friends."

"And you cannot find them can you?" She said with a wide grin, "Those newborns just so happened to be quite powerful."

"The masters will see this as an act against them." Felix told Demetri.

"Well you can tell them I couldn't care less. I enjoy my games but I've become quite protective over my newborns" she stated. "I'm keeping them."

"They won't let this pass." Demetri pointed out.

"They have more pressing issues." She jumped onto the edge of the building and let her legs dangle over the edge. "Apparently Mathias made plans for his inevitable capture by your masters. The rats are beginning to crawl out of the woodwork. "

"I don't understand."

Andy pulled a letter from her pocket that held a seal.

A seal they thought was lost.
