I'm so sorry for the late update! I hope you guys don't hate me! Have fun reading! and sorry its a short chapter.

Nathaniel cursed under his breath as he looked around trying to process everything that happened to him today. He was so angry and frustrated at Thalia. How can she even think I could hurt her? I was there the whole time! I helped her through the change and that’s how she thanks me? By doubting me? A low growl escaped his lips before he hit the bedside table in Cynthia’s room so hard that it broke in two. He stood up and looked out the window, watching the tree branches swing back and forth due to the strong wind. He could hear the wind whistle and the foliage rattle making disturbing noises. Nate usually loved the sound of nature but he wasn’t in one of his greatest moods so he just felt like breaking all the trees or just stop the wind. He couldn’t do the latter though, at least not anymore.

Nathaniel walked out of the darkened room lit only by the moonlight as he remembered how he lost his powers.

Nathaniel once helped a great witch as she was in danger, menaced by very dreadful and dangerous vampires and other creatures of the night. He saved her from a cruel destiny and she gave him powers a normal vampire usually had. Nathaniel could control the elements, not all of course, but the fire element as well as the spirit element, he could also control the weather. Eventually he lost all those powers. He sighed as he reminisced the day he lost his powers.

Sitting in the park, I was watching a girl. She had long blond hair that reached her lower back in waves, and green eyes that pierced through the soul easily. She had light freckles sprayed on her cheeks and nose, they weren’t visible to human eye but I knew if she exposed herself much in the sunlight, they would intensify. My eyes drifted to her well-defined and exposed cleavage. My eyes stopped there for a moment, the girl sure had a bosom every man would crave for and she didn’t help them by exposing it like that. I let my eyes wander to her slim waist and smiled as it turned into curves at the right places. The girl in person wasn’t really my style, she was beautiful and attractive but she was blond. No offense I just have a preference for brunettes. I kept watching closely her every move, words she says and even her smile. “The perfect prey” I whispered to myself as I saw her heading to the woods to get the ball her friend had thrown.

I took another path and met with her there, I flashed her one of my most charming smiles and chuckled as she gasped and took a step back.

“Who are you?” she asked smiling faintly, but I could feel her fear even though she tried to hide it.

“A person” I gave her a seductive half smile.

She smiled nervously “I can see that...”

I smiled and took a step closer as she stepped back “Why are you afraid of me?”

“No…I’m not but there’s someone watching”

I frowned and quickly looked back to see an old woman wearing a dark black cloak watching us as she stood under a big tree. The sky was a bit darker and the look on the lady’s face was disappointed and disgusted. By the time I looked back at the girl she was running away. I sighed and looked at the lady who was now approaching me slowly. I folded my arms and waited her to reach me.

She stood there glaring at me for a moment and I wasn’t so patient “What do you want?” I snapped feeling a bit threatened, sure I had powers but this lady gave a powerful vibe.

“I’m here to collect something you can’t have anymore” she said sternly in a soft but tired voice.

“Which is?” I asked raising an eyebrow.

“You proved yourself unworthy of what my sister gave you years ago. I’m here to take it back.”

I chuckled nervously and tired to jump in space and get away from her but was trapped in an invisible form that stopped my moves. “What did you do to me?” I groaned at her but her face still looked calm and serene.

“You’ve turned into a dark creature, the powers my sister gave you only increased your hunger for power. You’ve hurt so many innocent girls and even children, you’re just a pathetic horrible person who never had a heart. Now I’ll just take your powers, but if you keep on this path you’ll be cursed by all the spirits” raising her hand facing her palm to my face, she started chanting intelligible words.

I felt like my soul was being ripped from my body as I heard a few bones crack. I fell to the ground breathing hard from the pain that spread through my body like venom. When I regained myself I looked up to meet complete darkness. The witch was gone and I felt free from what she had me in earlier. All I could think about was my hunger. Hungry for blood as well as power.

Nathaniel snapped out of his memories as he heard a loud pounding on the front door. He growled and went to open it.

He sighed and folded his arms across his chest as he looked at a crying Thalia. He hated seeing her tears but he was mad right now and felt betrayed but the person he cared for the most.

Thalia looked at him cutely and wrapped her arms around his waist “I’m sorry… I guess I was a bit jealous”

Nate sighed again and hugged her back, he couldn’t deny how he felt towards her; he felt a shiver run down his spine and tightened his grip around her as he took in her scent and ran his fingers through her soft silky hair. Damn she’s beautiful!

He pulled away a bit from her and met her gaze.

“What did you mean by jealous? Jealous of what?”

“I don’t know, when Liam told me about you and Cynthia he made it sound like there was something about you two and I…well I just…” She wasn’t able to finish as she heard the door pound a few times and break on them.

Nate pulled her behind him and looked at a very angry Liam.

‘Go home now!’ He pushed the thought in Thalia’s mind but she refused to go. ‘Thalia go! Now!’

Thalia hated running away but she had to. She ran as fast as she could past Liam and darted for the woods still not understanding the influence he had on her. She stumbled on a rock and gasped as she felt blood trickle down her leg. Thalia looked at her leg and shook her head standing up slowly. She didn’t really know why Nathaniel asked her to leave and she felt bad leaving him as she remembered the murderous look Liam had on his venomous face. She looked behind her thinking about going back and help him even though she knew she wasn’t as strong as any of both of them but she still felt guilty for leaving him.

When her leg healed Thalia went back home knowing she would get in trouble if she did otherwise. She was huffed disappointed that she didn’t get the chance to finish what she wanted to tell him. She reached her house shortly after and was about to open her door when she felt a hand cover her mouth preventing her from screaming and an arm around her waist pulling her backward. She tried to fight the intruder but he was stronger than she was and smelled very familiar, which confused her a lot.

Soon her hands were tied with very strong ropes that she couldn’t break and it frustrated her. She tried to look back to see her capturer but couldn’t see him. So she looked back in front of her frowning and gasped when she saw James standing strong and tall in front of her with his arms crossed and a smirk plastered to his gorgeous face.

She looked at him for a moment processing what she was seeing. Her brows knotted together as she realized that James was no longer a human. She was sure of it, he was strong even stronger than her and no human could be stronger than any vampire, even the weakest ones. James also looked different she could tell something has changed in him, not just in his looks but also in his heart.

“James?” she whispered questioningly.

“Is there something wrong Thalia?”

“Apart from being tied up and you calling me Thalia no there isn’t.”

“Thalia this is getting boring and old. You need to stop pretending to be someone who doesn’t exist”

Thalia looked away tears welling in her eyes, she didn’t know who did this to James and she didn’t know who told him about her, she just hoped it wasn’t Haily. She would hate killing the girl even though she found out about her and was anything but human.

“Thalia! Don’t doze off on me!” James yelled shaking her.

Thalia looked up at him “What do you want?”

James smiled and brushed her face with two fingers and chuckled as she hissed and looked away.

“Isn’t it obvious? You of all people should know what I want Thalia. I’ve been mourning you since you faked your death and I’ve been hurting and feeling guilty! Now I remember what you said to me in the bar, for some reason I couldn’t remember it when I was human.” He sighed and took a step closer to her lifting her chin up. “You wished I died instead of you… but why? I didn’t tell you to go kill yourself did I?” James sounded angry and Thalia bit her lip before catching his gaze.

 “Why did you tie me up? Afraid I’ll kick your ass?” she raised an eyebrow smirking but he slapped her hard making her blink a few time.

“Afraid of you? Are you kidding me?” James laughed “Don’t ever say that again.”

“Oh yeah? Or what?” she snapped at him and he slapped her again but this time she saw it coming and avoided the contact of his hand with her cheek. “Very manly of you baby!”

James looked at her and groaned “Just Shut up!”

“James, not that I’m bored but I need to be home so let’s just end this. What do you want from me?” she asked the humor gone completely from her voice.

“I want you back Thalia, I want you in my life. It would be great, both of us with powers and such we would be perfect again just like before.” He said sincerely looking at her eyes with hope.

“I think it’s a bit late for that don’t you?” a familiar voice made Thalia smile as she looked behind James’s shoulder. On the other hand, James looked frustrated and had a killer look on his face.

“What are you doing here Hailey?”

“I came to save that poor thing from you! You ruined her life once you can do it again and I won’t let you.”

Thalia pursed her lips trying to figure out why Hailey was here, and why she was helping her. Earlier today she was hurting her now here she was speaking of defending a vampire girl trapped by her own ex boyfriend. Thalia looked at her pleadingly hoping she would do something to her tied hands, they were starting to ache and she needed to relax them a bit. She noticed that Hailey nodded and murmured something, and soon enough the ropes were loose and slid to the dirty ground. Thalia gasped as she realized that Hailey is a witch!

“You need to save her from Nathaniel not me.”

“I see that’s you’re the one holding her hostage and you were slapping her so I know who I need to save her from. Plus, you left her when she was hurting, so why come back now? I told you. It’s too late so leave before I hurt you.”

James chuckled “And how would you hurt me little one?”

Thalia rolled her eyes, poor boy. He doesn’t know what Hailey is capable of. Thalia came toward him and kicked him in his behind so hard that he stumbled a few times before regaining his balance. She hit him on his shoulder before he could do anything and pulled at his hair and even bit his neck but instantly wished she didn’t. She started drinking from him as he moaned in pleasure and Hailey watched her stunned for a moment before pushing her.

“Stop!” she yelled at Thalia snapping her out of her delicious trance. Thalia let go of James’s body and pushed him to the ground, he was weak and harmless in such a stat; she kicked him in the stomach one more time before joining Hailey walking with her back to her house.

After an awkward silence, Thalia decided to break the silence reigning in her dark purple and white room.

“Thank you for helping me out”

“Sure…I think I’ll have to do that a lot lately” she smiled and lay on the carpet looking at the ceiling. “I know you’re curious and have many questions in your head, but I’m tired we’ll talk tomorrow.”

Soon after, Hailey was fast asleep and Thalia was trying to reach out to Nate but nothing. She had a bad feeling and got on her feet to change and go check on him and help him if he needs her. She was zipping her jacket when she heard a knock on the door. She frowned looking at the time, who would come at 1 am? Thalia made her way to the front door and opened it to reveal a beautiful girl with dark hair and green eyes. There was a faint resemblance between the two girls but the stranger was a bit shorter than Thalia.

“May I help you?” Thalia asked the stranger when she was able to find her voice again.

“I’m looking for Thalia” she said breathlessly.

“That would be me. You found her. Who are you?” Thalia asked cocking an eyebrow.

“I just need to tell you that Liam has Nate! We have to help him”.

Thalia’s eyes turned into huge rounds before she leapt toward the woods not really knowing where to go. She couldn’t bare the idea of Nate hurting, it was burning her heart. She stopped briskly when she noticed she didn’t know where she was going and looked back at the faint image of her house with a girl standing at the porch. Thalia ran back to her.

“where is he? And who are you?”

“Cynthia.”
