Prey


"So" Bree spoke looking at the spot where Andy had disappeared from.

"So" Diego repeated.

"Yeah so." Fred muttered looking at the pair. "You heard what she said, we should get moving."

"Wow, that's got to be the most amount of words I've ever heard you say Freddie." Diego slapped his hand on Fred's back and the blonde shoved him off with a roll of his shoulders.

"Don't get used to it." Fred replied and huffed in annoyance, "and don't call me Freddie."

Diego held his hands up in defence with a grin. "Okay, okay." He snickered and whispered under his breath. "Freddie."

Fred rolled his eyes and turned to Bree. "Are you sure you trust her?"

"I don't know what it is, but there's something trustworthy about her."

"Explain her strange attitude and blunt honesty then?" Diego asked raising a brow.

"She's stressed?" Bree defended weakly and Diego chuckled.

"We don't really have a choice, those Volturi guys are coming for us."

"Let's go then." Fred nodded to the pair.

Bree and Diego hadn't really had anytime to themselves yet, with thinking each other were dead to running for their lives and they shared a look to the direction Fred. With a sad smile Diego reached out his hand to the smaller vampire who slid her hand into his lacing their fingers together. They knew they'd have all the time in the world if they survived this.

Diego gave their hands a tug and kissed her gently before the following after their friend.

"They have more pressing issues." Andy 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.

She made her way to Demetri and Felix holding the letter with the seal.

It was a simple back rose that was staring the trio in the face as they stood in silence.

Felix shuddered at the sight groaning to himself silently his eyes flicking to the Tracker who allowed a glare to cross his face at the sight. Both of them turned their attention to the last surviving member of the Greek Coven who stared blankly ahead.

Andy hugged herself while lost in deep thought of memories from centuries ago, the entire series of events playing over and over in her mind.

~~~~~

"Don't send me away! Please Papa! Why do I have to leave, I can help?!" She protested but her pleas were unheard as her brother tried to convince her to head to safety.

~~~~~

She didn't like it. She didn't like the mansion that he lived in. The place felt wrong. Like everything was a secret and danger was lurking around every corner.

~~~~~

She ran fearfully away from the room her venom pulsing through her body like adrenaline. She feared that she was caught, that they saw her.

~~~~~

Her lithe form made way through the halls her eyes darting from side to side searching for evidence, she needed proof or the Volturi wouldn't believe her claims and help.

~~~~~

Devastation ripped through her as she stood in the shadows of the surrounding forest. Her raven eyes reflected the orange flames that burned the heart of her soul. Venom and blood stained her hands as she slowly lost herself to the agony.

~~~~~

Demetri was the first to move his former anger forgotten as he made his way to his mate. He could read the pain in her features that she desperately tried to mask with a smile. The Cult was the reason her entire coven was killed and he could tell it affected her greatly. She didn't notice him move. She didn't even notice how her body instinctively curled up closer to him as she inhaled his scent calming herself down.

The trackers arm worked its way around her waist the other reaching for the letter. He broke the seal and read over the contents a couple of times causing a frown to morph on his features.

"What is it?"

"A reply." He said calmly, "the Cult extended Mathias an invitation to help with recruitment. According to this reply, he had initially declined their invitation though warned them that he would be a danger to their order because he was being hunted." Demetri's arm tightened on her waist as he continued to read with a small frown.

"Does it say my name?" She asked already thinking on the same track.

"Yes." He growled angrily reading the paper.

"Brilliant." She replied sarcastically resisting the urge to shudder. "What does it say?"

"It goes into explicit detail about how they plan to remove or capture you." Demetri replied his eyes shooting to Felix who walked over handing him the letter. "Take this back to the masters."

"And you?" Felix asked his friend who silently looked towards his mate.

"Just call." He replied, "Tell me what's happening and I'll follow any tracks Mathias left behind."

"I'll help." Andy spoke with finality coming to a decision.

"No." Demetri said adamantly.

"They're coming to kill me, I'll be the perfect bait."

"No."

"Sorry darling but you have no choice in this. Either way I'm going to do it." She smiled sweetly at him and turned to the hulking vampire. "Tell your masters I will help, and no offence to Aro but I don't like people shuffling around in my head so no, I won't accompany you."

Felix nodded to the pair and took off in the direction of Italy.

"Come on," Andy said slipping her hand into Demetri's, "let's get going."

She carried them to different countries making her way to Spain from America. Demetri was slowly getting used to the way she travelled and caught her form as she stumbled upon landing in the abandoned building she'd last seen Mathias.

"You need to feed." He informed throwing her arm around his shoulder as she leaned against him.

"I'll be alright." She replied glaring as he rolled his eyes at her stubbornness.

"I'll be right back, I'm going to get you someone to eat."

"I'm fi-"

"Don't argue." He demanded and left the room quickly.

Andy glanced around her dark eyes taking in every little detail looking for anything out of place as she did. She wandered over to the windowsill and placed her marble hand on the glass to look down at the street below.

She picked up Demetri's intoxicating scent followed by the addicting smell of blood pulsing warmly through a victims veins. Venom pooled behind her teeth as her grip tightened crumbling wood under her hand. Her dark eyed dilated in need as she glanced to the door.

"Drink up." He says towing three humans towards her watching the hunger consume her as she sunk her teeth into the first draining the teen quickly before turning to the next. Demetri watched and nudged the third towards her.

She reached out grabbing the next from him but stopped right before she sank her teeth into the soft flesh. She took a shuddering breath and held the unconscious male at arm's length regaining her sense of control through the blood lust.

"Here." She pushed the human into the tracker's arms and made her way to the door.

"You're still hungry." He pointed out watching as she moved.

"I know how to hunt."

"Allow me this one thing Andy." He begged holding the human between them.

With a sigh she took the man from him and held him between them. "Have a bite. I know you want to." Her dark red eyes glistened up at him and he allowed a smirk to grace his lips.

"I didn't take you as the type to share." He chuckled speaking over, the man securely in their grip.

"I'm not, but you did catch it." She smiled widely, "come on Demetri, have a drink with me."

He brought his teeth to the man's neck smiling at her. "Now how can I resist your request love?" He bit into the artery and blood began to pool as he drank eagerly. He lifted his eyes and spotted Andy's hungry ones as she watched him feed her gaze darkening. "I thought we were sharing."

She didn't bother to make another wound, instead she latched onto his pulling the body against hers happily as her eyes glowed a bright crimson.

The male vampire released a low growl pulling her and the prey back to him his lips joining hers tasting blood and venom. He threw the man to the side like a rag doll and attached his hands to her waist reattaching his lips to hers. Both hands worked their way around to her lower back and pulled her flush against him.

She responded by moving her hands to his hair fighting for dominance in the kiss. She didn't want to let go but the haze in her mind finally cleared as she came to her senses remembering that she was now the target of a supremacist Cult.

"You're a thief. You didn't win that kiss," she said as she pushed her hand against his chest reprimandingly meeting his lust filled gaze.

"Well we never did finalize the rules." He pointed out moving back a little.

"So let's go back to Mathias's homestead and see what's left." She changed the subject back to their mission as he smirked leaning against the wall one hand in his pocket.

"Ladies first," he indicated dramatically to the door.

"Oh you're too kind darling." She replied walking out with a swing in her hips.

She made it three steps before his hands latched onto her as he pressed her against the wall. "Don't tease me love." He warned her his lips hovering over her.

"Who's teasing now?" She smirked and leaned up pressing hers against his briefly and teleported to the other side of the room. "We keep this up and we won't make any ground."

"I'm not complaining." He grinned. "You can run all you want love, I will always find you."

"Find is a bit of a stretch darling, you can feel my mind," she says teleporting to another part of the city and back. "But catching me is a completely different story."

They stepped out of the building and walked side by side following Mathias's scent to the strongest point where it lingered. The pair eyed a luxury home with uniform colours and a pool.

"Hmm, he upgraded." She commented, "Or down, I'm not sure."

Demetri walked forward and opened the door looking around for an alarm system. Andy spotted it first and pulled the object clean out of the wall. "I'll take upstairs." She grinned rushing to the stairs.

"You're not going to run on me are you?" He questioned teasingly as he opened a draw and rummaged through.

"Not yet." She flashed her pearly whites moving out of the room. She spotted a covered canvas in a room full of artwork and approached it with hesitation her hand reaching for the cloth as she lowered it to the ground.

Andy stood before the artwork a small frown on her face, her head tilted to the side in confusion. She couldn't place where she had seen the building before, but she was sure she had. A brown haired female with blonde highlights was depicted in the open window of the white building her dress a light shade of blue as it hugged her form gently falling to the ground in waves. She could see small white flowers braided into her hair that curled down her back.

She ran her fingertips over the brush strokes desperate to see the face of the woman depicted in the window as she was thrust back in time.

Andromeda crept in silence past the armed men trying to get into the white building. Her steps didn't make a sound as she approached her tree and swiftly made her way to the top. She could see everything from up there, that's why she liked it so much.

She could see a woman pacing in front of the window a dagger clutched in her hands. Her head facing away from her as she waited for the door to open.

Anticipation filled as the figure spun around. She couldn't make out any clear features of the woman but she could make out vibrant sky blue eyes that kept darting in her direction.

The men below had broken in and were heading for her.

Andy wanted to shout in warning but bit her tongue and closed her eyes listening to the shrill screams as tears streamed down her cheeks.

Confusion filtered through her as she clutched the side of her head.

"Andromeda what's wrong?" Demetri asked sensing her distress.

"I- I think I'm remembering."









A/N: Sorry it's a little later than usual and the chapter is a bit average in my opinion but my Nana died so have been doing real life/family stuff for the past week. Hope you enjoyed the chapter though.
