…

It was bizarre to say the least. The sight would’ve delighted him with most people, but he found it ill-fitting on Freya. He didn’t break his line of sight as she tossed the heart to his feet, lips stretching slowly into a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes.

“Did daddy hit a nerve, Freya, darling?”

The smile was empty for him, as if he were doing it to simply appease a child who had done wrong.. like a child that couldn’t be helped. His questioned burned an unwelcome thought into her mind and she simply tilted her head, not breaking eye contact whats so ever. “He may just have” she answered truthfully, her own voice chilling her. “Would that be a problem?” she asked, refusing to change her tone. Of all of the people in Arcadia, she assumed he would be the least judgmental towards her in this moment, excited even. This slightly confused her. His little Freya wasn’t so sweet after all, she thought. 

A small, dark grin touched her lips, “Am I hitting a nerve with you, Nicolas?” 

Before she could react, Freya had taken Lexi away from the scene of the crime. With a glint of shame in her eyes, she licked her fingers clean and rested against the brick wall of the alley they had moved to. Lexi followed Freya’s advice, taking a deep breath and nodding with eyes shut until she heard Freya hang up the phone. Looking over at the blonde she furrowed her brows and shook her head. Lexi wanted to say that the guy was an animal..but then, what were they? “It’s okay.” she shook her head. Standing up a little straighter, Lexi looked over at Freya with a small, sad smile and squeezed her shoulder. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah I’m..” she hadn’t even realized Lexi asked the question until her lips started to form the answer without having thought. “I’m just spooked is all..” she feared that Lexi would ask about the extreme Freya was going to, a year ago this would have never happened and she would have never allowed it.. but things were so different now. “I feel like I blacked out” she spoke truthfully, listening as the ambulance rushed down a few streets over to find a boy who didn’t deserve to be rescued in the first place. 

As if on cue, she came back to Lana’s voice and gave her an awkward smile. “It’s good that you guys want that, don’t let my bitter laugh say other wise” she murmured, giving the girl a shrug. She raised an eyebrow at her next revaluation, “Ohh older men are incredibly exciting especially when he is related to your ex..” again, Freya’s thoughts escaped her. She thought to the doctor comment.. then to the brothers. “His name wouldn’t happen to be Zach would it?” she questioned suddenly, “He’s the only old doctor I know with a brother” she laughed slightly.

“Allow this to be a warning to any other friends you may have..” she whispered into his ear, “That is if they find your body” the quick protest he gave was short lived, Freya spun his head around so quickly that it seemed his head almost popped off like the top of a soda bottle. The sound of his death satisfied her, and it wouldn’t have if Lexi wasn’t the root of it. The mans body went limp on the ground, his face soon paling. “Thanks” she murmured up to the vampire with a small smile, “I needed that” 

“I can’t leave… that would be the easy way out.” He’d be a total failure if he would leave now… he wasn’t sure if he would go back again. “This is where I am supposed to work, and you’d think I’d be able to come back for at least a visit after I’ve been clean for months now.”

“Your a vampire, every myth in the history of time talks about bloodlust, it’s your nature” she began, quickly stopping realizing she was preaching to someone who knew more about it than she did. “Look - all I’m saying is there has to be other ways out, like.. a furry little bunny.. or a blood bag” she sighed and pointed back down the hallway “-Because someone is dying over there and they clearly need you.” 

“That’s not to say I don’t remember it; beguilingly tender thing that it was.” Nicolas continued, when she insisted that he hadn’t known the contents of her heart for a while. Had he wanted to, he supposed he could’ve made a better effort; but it didn’t seem to matter either way now that Freya - his Freya, seemed a changed creature. Her offer was equally ill-fitted to her character, but he decided to play along with the bluff. “Do your worst.” He invited her, leaning back against the church steps that led up to the altar, ever the indulging audience.

Freya raised an eyebrow and tilted her head. With his approval she looked down towards the man the floor, the poor thing had just began regaining consciousness. Freya pouted sarcastically and lifted him by his throat. He had seemed to think that maybe she would be his savior, but alas, she would never be a savior. With one hand around his neck and the other around the long piece of wood, she sighed. Dropping the stake she smiled at the man, he thought she would show him mercy which was quickly short lived as her hand shoved through the cavity in his chest, straight to his heart. The mans face shook in horror as Freya ripped the heart right out of his chest, spraying blood all over the floor, what a beautiful holy place. 

She turned back towards Nic, throwing the heart to his feet, “A tender heart indeed” she murmured. 

He followed her with his gaze, still bemused by the fact that within the span of a not much more than a year, his gentle-hearted, doe-eyed Freya had become as apparently callous and indifferent to death as a creature twice her age and experience with tragedy.

She raised an eyebrow and let a devilish smirk reach her lips. With a small shrug she leaned down and picked up the stake he once had in his hand, “You haven’t known much about my heart for a while, Nic” she looked once more at the man below her as the older vampire’s words echoed through her mind. 

Don’t tell me it’s turned as cold as mine

“Is that a challenge, love?” 

Wiping the blood dripping down her chin, she looked up at the still bleeding man in front of her, only standing by Freya’s reluctant support and it seemed, in Freya’s eyes, Lexi wanted her to wake him so she could be assured he was alive. The brunette would be lying if she said that was what she wanted. She wasn’t that good a person it seemed. Because firstly she saw a rapist. Someone who’d tried to drug her friend. Who’d maybe drugged a lot of other girls, far more oblivious, and far more alone. The possibilities caught in her throat were enough to want to take another bite, but she was quick to move on. If she didn’t, she’d kill him. Lexi reminded herself of the grief that would bring as she took a step closer to him and opened his eyes for him with her fingers. “How many women have you violated?” she compelled. 

“Four.” Lexi wrenched her hand away and looked over at Freya, gaze dark and reluctant to forgive before taking a shallow breath and forcing herself to touch him again, a harder grip on him this time as he winced in fear. Again, she made him look at her. 

The blonde nearly tensed up when Lexi stepped forward and opened her mouth. Pressing her fingers into the boys eyes made him nearly whimper. She wasn’t prepared for that question yet found herself intrigued considering she hadn’t even asked in the first place. His answer made the blood from her face pool to her feet. “FOUR?!” she seethed turning her attention entirely towards the boy who was now being grasped tightly by Lexi’s hand. Her eyes shined brightly and she could almost smell the fear radiating from his body that he tried so hard not to show. 

Freya spit directly into his face and raised her claws to slice his throat open just to have the satisfaction of his blood spilling onto the ground, somehow to avenge those poor girls. She stopped in her tracks when Lexi’s shaky voice began. Slowly her claws retracted and her eyes faded back to normal. Freya opened her mouth to speak but quickly shut it when Lexi looked like she was in physical pain. She saw the cracks forming around her eyes and the bloodlust seeping through her. Without a word, Freya quickly moved, faster than the boys eyes could follow, and took Lexi behind a building about a block away. “Breathe” she murmured as she took her phone out to call the police.
