And like a repeat it has been months since everything went down. Klaus is his usual self. Won't help break Hayley's curse and will never apologize to Elijah for his actions. But I can't say anything as well because I too made no effort in breaking her curse.

I was in the kids room watching them all crawl around and play with each other when all of a sudden Angel started to lift herself up on her two feet.

My mouth parted as I watch her wobble on shaky feet and she had a hand on the chair to help balance herself. As if inspired by Angel, Hope decided to get up as well. Then Maddox, Eric, Nicholas, Hunter, Dove, and Henrik all decided to learn how to walk as well.

I hear someone walk into the room and I look over my shoulder to see Nik was standing there and he too was gaping as he watch all his kids were trying to walk with a few falling back down.

Tonight is Klaus art gallery and let's just say I am a bit nervous to be here. I have been forced to talk to people who would give me compliments or would just down right flirt with me all because there are a few paintings Nik made of me that he decided to put up in his show. They all have been lingering at one painting Nik made of me when I was naked but luckily the covers were covering all my private parts.

I was at the bar drinking a glass of wine when this brunette man came up beside me. He didn't say anything and it looks like he was watching something.

I followed his gaze and saw Nik talking to Cami who was looking back at the brunette. I pulled my hair back and decided to eavesdrop in their conversation. "Who's the dirt bag eyeing me like I'm a rack of lamb sitting next to Phoenix? Old friend?" Cami asked him.

Nik looked over his shoulder to see me and the brunette watching him. "Old acquaintance. Nothing more."

"Old acquaintance? You wound me." The brunette said and I laughed for a bit drawing his attention. He laid his eyes on me and just stared as they grew bigger and bigger. His mouth was open and I was worried that he wasn't okay. I waved my hand in front and that brought him back to the real world. He's a weird one but he was some what of a cutie.

"Is he—"

"Hard of hearing? Quite the opposite, actually. Side effect I inherited from Nik." The brunette said while looking over his shoulder then he turned back around to face me. "Lucien Castle, it is my pleasure to grace a gorgous face of an Angel." He said holding his hand out to me.

I took his hand and shook it. "Phoenix Fire, flattery doesn't work on me." I said as he brings the hand up to his mouth and kissed the back of it. He must be close to Klaus if he is calling him Nik.

"Don't worry your perfect head about it. I only have one goal when I look at you and it shall be an extraordinary goal that will last our whole lifetime." Lucien said showing off his white teeth.

"Sounds like a nice goal to me. But I am happily taken and very happy with my relationship right now. I am currently tied down as some would call it." I said pulling my hand away from him and sip my wine some more.

"Never stopped me before, won't let it stop me now." Lucien said then he walked off to talk to Nik once Cami had left.

He is going to get me in trouble and it looks like I won't be able to shake him off any time soon either.

Lucien invited me and Klaus to his condo and when we arrived all that can be heard was the sound of music being muffled by the walls. "Please excuse the mess. I've been entertaining." Lucien said then opened both doors.

We walked inside to see a party going on in the condo. People were making out, some were dancing all over the place and a few talking in a corner.

You could say it was a party for the riches. "Well, you never were one for subtlety." Nik said as he watch everyone do their own thing. It was only then that the smell of blood hit me and the people making out were actually feeding from their prey.

We walked further into the party and it seemed like almost everyone was a vampire and they are drinking blood without a care. There was even two vampire girls, black and white, feeding off one white male on the couch.

As fun as this vamp party looks I prefer to just feed off my prey hungrily than prolonged their suffering. I turn around to see Lucien looking from something to stare at my eyes, then he opened up another double door and me and Nik walked in.

It was a bedroom with a king size bed in it with white sheets and a blue blanket laying on top. There were a few candles and a few other items on the table. "You brought me here to have a séance?" Nik asked Lucien as he sees the lit candles.

Lucien closed the door after us. "Something like that. I present my personal forecaster, the lovely Alexis." A curly haired brunette came in from another room and stood on the opposite of the table. She smiled at Nik not even looking over to see me standing right next to him and this only just make my eyebrow twitch as I stare her down.

"Don't tell me you're here to scry some future portents of my doom." Nik said. He told me about the reason Lucien was hear. Apparently our remaining sideline are worried for us and are about to start a war between themselves.

"Alexis is no back-alley palm reader. She's an expert cipher. Patterns, trends, cycles. She does exceptionally well on the stock market." Lucien said while putting his coat on the bed. While he was talking Alexis here walked up to us extremely close.

She was only a step away from us and for some reason she thought it would be a great idea to try and touch Nik's chest. I grabbed her wrist and squeezed before she even touch him. I saw Nik smiling down at me but I ignore it and stare at Alexis. Her face contorts with pain as I squeezed harder.

"Keep your thirsty hands off of what is mine. I will not repeat myself to you again." I threatened her and I dropped her wrist. She brought her wrist into her chest cradling it like it was a baby. I failed to notice the look of jealousy Lucien was giving me.

"If you have a warning to deliver, love, best get on with it." Nik said as he pulls me into a side hug only to make sure I don't act out anymore than I already did.

"By all means." Alexis said and Lucien helped her out her black cardigan. "But if you want the most from the experience, I suggest you feed on me. As you do, I'll allow you into my mind. You can see for yourself." Alexis said with her seduction eyes on Nik.

I smile at her. "Then you won't mind if I took his place." I said she looked at with defiance and before she could try to deny me, I roughly grabbed the back of her neck and bit into her. Nik came up beside me and bit into her neck to also see this vision.

Images of the family show up in my mind. Blood flew across paintings and the arguments between everyone. That and with her bad poetry. "These are all fake. This is nothing but your bad poetry and parlor tricks." I said to her as I held her away from me by her neck.

"My visions are conjured from you. The threat you face will be more clear the longer I'm in your presence. Kill me, you'll never see what's coming." Alexis said. I stare at her for a bit before letting go of her neck with a grunt.

"I won't stay here and listen to anymore lies." Nik said and left the room. As I was walking out to follow him a vampire tried to make a move on me but I broke his neck without missing a step in my walk.
