Lord Christopher gasped entering into his own room filled in darkness and as glowing pair of light blue transparent irises were met with his. Samuel Beckett welcomed him in dead silence, "Samuel Beckett?" he questioned after his view adjusted and he came to know who was sitting on wooden rocking chair beside his bed.

He was surprised but more confused to see why Samuel, brother of his Ally Ethan Beckett had  decided to make his was sudden appearance at this hour of night when everyone goes to sleep before morning starts.

He stepped towards him, "Why are you here? Could have informed me." He said nonchalantly when Samuel didn't say a thing.

"How can I have informed you?" Samuel mused to himself, rushing to him in speed and slamming his back to wall,"when I am here to kill you?" Before even words could have registered to Christopher's mind, his neck was broken and rolling down off the floor having look of betrayal on his face leaving trail of blood on its way. His gaze followed the trail of head which stopped in front of girl who looked frozen by what she had seen. Her heart beats were racing and thumping hard in her chest.

She turned her heels to run but Samuel was fast to grab her neck. He was about to snap it when felt girl kick her heels on his foot, temporarily making him stop his actions. Taking her chance to spin back to do the same with him, she was able get grip of his neck and ready to snap. Samuel broke her wrist bone when he heard voice of footsteps nearing the room they were in, he locked girl's hands behind her back with one hand and another covering her mouth to prevent her from screaming, "Clear the scene, real quick." he ordered to unknown.

Suddenly shadows took a human form but before Jennifer could have seen what was happening she was fell into a trance and when her eyes opened she was not in same room anymore.

They were in dungeon, it had no lights on but being vampire they didn't even need one to see things quite clear. Girl in his hold wriggled to get free but he kept it firm. However the girl didn't give up yet, she kicked him right in center to loosen his hold then punched him in jaw making a snap sound. This angered Samuel, he locked her hands and tried stabilize yet again. She didn't seem to falter with his actions and started kicking, he dodged it this time but what he couldn't dodge was when she banged her head to his nose making it bleed.

Samuel growled angrily, spinning her so that now her back was against his chest and he pinned her face to wall slamming hard, her struggles shut momentarily due to impact. She was strong, never did any girl had given him such a tough fight making it hard to handle himself. He took hold of her hairs harshly, tilting it backwards and whispered in her ears coldly, "I was going to make your death easy but now I'll make it living hell."

Guards grabbed her hands from either side and it took three of them to get her tied in silver chains. He observed her, she was wearing white jeans with beige colored shirt, her height 6'1 feet against his 6'4, his blood was on her forehead running down, her face was bruised but pain wasn't visible on her face. Instead dark glare was plastered on her beautiful face with her scarlet eyes burning in fire.

She was put in standing position. Her ankles were tied and hands hung above her head widely, her forehead leaning on side of hand.

From the moment he had seen her, she haven't spoke a word or let any voice out of her mouth. When he neared her with a smirk and closed distance, yet again she waved her elbow to nudge hard on his jaw which was successful. He groaned in annoyance due to her non stop antiques. "Tie her hard, so that she couldn't move any part of her body, not even an inch."

Her face stoic, looked like she already knew this was coming up. He trailed his knuckles on her cheeks, yet she remained calm, "Brave and beautiful." He stated softly which made her scoff. He just chuckled seeing her vulnerable where she couldn't move herself, her breathing was hard due to efforts she was putting to break free and get away from touch of murder.

He left the cell, closing the silver bar door behind. "Do not loosen her even if she faints or something happens, I want to she how long she has that fire of hers." He directed to guard and asked him stay put for till next. He wondered who was she, definitely held a good position, he judged from her clothes and strength she put in to fight back. Impressed was an understatement what Samuel felt for her. She didn't put her guards down even for mini-second. He felt good that he couldn't kill her first he tried, what a waste it would have been.
