Violet

It's been a day since we came from the underworld.

And Nathan won't let me out of his sight to go on with my plan to save Alayna damn it!

Don't get me wrong I love him and we've been found in way too many compromising positions way too many times- Waayy too many times.

But I really want to help my sister. Sure she's very..... Unique in her own insulting way towards me but she means well. Although her judgment is off it's because of her innocence and way too goodness stuffed inside her. In other words I blame mom, she gave birth to us.

We still don't know who's older.......

Yeah, I owe it to her to save her from whatever Augustine is doing to her. I know Nathan wants to protect me and I can't imagine the pain of losing your soul mate so many times but my sister and I have a bond.

I know Augustine isn't planning on killing her, it would also kill me and save him much work. No, he must be planning something way worst.

Something that will make everyone else hate me when the countdown is finished, more they hate me now that is.

I honestly don't get what the deal is. Can't a girl live and enjoy the darker side of life. I'm pretty sure they would start to enjoy it as I did.

But that's not the point here. Actually what was my original point?

My wolf snickered. 'How Nathan won't let you out of his sights.'

'Yeah, but you're on my side right? As much as we love him and the mate bond is getting stronger, we can't deny the need to save our sisters' my wolf sighed her conflicted emotions matching mines. 'I honestly don't know but either way it seems like were walking into our deaths, all four of us.'

I growled in frustration.

I have no plan whatsoever and I only have one day to save Alayna. I do know one thing though, I have a bad feeling in my gut.

"Done trying to find a way to sneak off." I groaned feeling Dracula's presence. "No, I just need to- wait why am I telling you this?" I huffed.

"Don't know probably I'm a very sensible person to talk to." That made me snort. Last time he was disrespected Dracula made the person's nightmare come to life and tormented the poor guy for a whole month. Yet people think I'm bad.

Dracula chuckled sitting next to me by the window. "All fun aside, you do know how dangerous this will become right?" I sighed watching a storm beginning getting stronger by the minute.

"Yeah but what other choice do I have?" Dracula sighs. "You have many choices in life but it depends how you view it and the outcome." I stayed silent getting what her means.

"So I have to do the one with the best outcome, not only for me but everyone?" Yeah I'm going straight out and say I am not selfless. No, I'm as selfish as I could be and selfless for only a few.

Yeah I may be born to save these people but it's more like a job. I barely care for anyone other than my pack and we all know how that ended.

"Well yeah and what you decide what you will choose and the effect it will have on those around you." Dracula advised before rising. "Better make sure you make it quick Violet because time is running out as are your choices." With that Dracula left Violet buried in her thoughts.

"Shit." Derek cursed moving his body to shield Maya who was shaking in fear.

Cecil's cackled rang out. "Thought you could hide from us? How naïve." She sneered while Derek tensed ready for any surprises in their hiding place.

He felt Maya's presence disappear from behind him her hand slipping from his. "Pica boo" A voice whispered to him before he was roughly pulled out of their hiding place.

"Of course, Derek! You didn't think you would fool me with the act that you actually turned towards your best friend practically your sister." Augustine pointed out chuckling before a dark look overcame his face. "And where were you going?"

Derek's jaw clenched as he stayed silent. "Probably back to the bitch" the female demon he learned was Claire sneered. He caught side of her and semi visible black seemingly violet scars. There was only one person he knew who could leave those kind of scars.

"She's only half a bitch and I'm pretty sure you experienced that yourself." He smirked while she fumed. "Would watch what you say if I were you, don't think your little girlfriend is resistant to pain against a dark creature." She hissed. He caught sight of Maya being held by her neck by the dark witch Cecil her nails digging into her skin leaving abnormal marks. From the pain filled expression on Maya's face, this was no ordinary pain.

"Now will you be more willing to answer our questions boy?" Alistair the council's demon smirked. Derek gritted his teeth nodding swiftly. "Good where were you off to?"

Drake froze at the past tense were meaning they might not escape or even make it a foot from this mansion. "To Violet." Was his vague response, however that didn't do.

"Why now when you could have simply gone before as Grant did? It couldn't have been for spying, according to Claire Grant acquired quite a hefty amount of information." The woman spoke making him shiver at the underlying malice under her seductive tone her vampire scent washing over him.

Derek took in a sharp breath. "I didn't know the entrance to the underworld still don't. I figured I would have a chance finding her from your announcement of her being somewhere on the surface." He answered tensely.

Belvedere smirked. "Oh you poor thing she didn't come to get you as she did Grant?" Derek froze while a malicious smile carved her lips. "You poor soul is that one other reason you stayed, you felt angry and betrayed by her making you go on with Augustine's plans, until little half witch there must have knocked you to sense." She knew she hit home, just as she intended while Claire cackled.

"Well you don't have to worry so much anymore considering you aren't going anywhere." Derek screamed in pain feeling darkness reeling him in.

"Sweet dreams, let's hope you reunite with your beloved friend." Cecil cackled.

Maya sobbed into her hold while everyone's attention turned towards her. "Can I have that one it's been a while since I've had half breed blood." Belvedere purred making her way towards Maya but was intercepted by Stephen.

"NO we could use her for your dirty works, I'm sure she won't make a fuss considering what's at stake." He gestured towards Derek while Maya sobbed harder.

Augustine seemed to think over it before a grin lit his face. "Why a good idea, she can help you hold Alayna's wolf and as for you-"He turned towards Maya a deadly look on his face making her gulp. "Behave because if I find out you've done anything to compromise my plan your lover dies and you live with the fact that you killed him and I will make sure to make it as painful as possible." He hissed as Maya nodded her head quickly before he smirked.

"Good your first command, speak nothing of this now go along with Stephen, he will fill you in on what you need to do." Maya took one more look at Derek's crumbled form sneering through her tears as Stephen grabbed her.

"I can walk myself." Maya snarled snatching her arm out of his grip. Stephen sighed leading the way.

'Trust me, someday you'll thank me for saving your life.'

"And as for you all." Augustine turned towards Cecil the council members. "You should all get going my spell is wearing off. You-"He turned towards Richards. "Keep an eye on him." He gestured towards Derek. "I suggest using the cell that was meant to hold Scarlett."

"Of course sire." He bowed as Augustine teleported both of them out. The council members were long gone, the living room empty all but one.

"You can't stop me you know, your influence over your own pack is even less than you're so called strength." Augustine smirked not bothering to turn around.

Trent sighed running his hand through his hair. "I know."
