Safehouse
                They found a place to stay that was better hidden and more accommodating to vampires. Eve helped Adam bathe and care for Dani. They both knew how staunchly she was devoted to cleanliness and hygiene even though as a vampire some of the lengths she went to sometimes were unnecessary and extreme.
                Adam kneeled in the shower wearing only his striped black trousers with Dani across his lap, his arm around her under the hot water. His hand smoothed gently through her hair as the water rinsed out the condition. Adam sighed holding her naked wet unconscious form. He would give anything for her to open her arms and wrap her arms around him. Cupping her face he closed his eyes resting his forehead to hers.
                Reaching up he turned off the water before sliding his arms underneath her easily picking her up and carrying her out of the shower where Eve was waiting with a large towel. When she wrapped it around their sleeping fledgling. Adam passed her into Eve’s arms, before turning going back into the bathroom to dry off and change.
                Eve dried her off before going to work on her hair. Combing it out smooth before her fingers skillfully and expertly braided it.
                Adam returned with a pair of her favorite purple satin pajamas and the two vampires livingly dressed her. When they finished, Adam gathered her into his arms holding her close. Eve stroked Dani’s head gently before kissing her cheek.
                This was so painful. Seeing the young woman they both loved and cared about as a helpless shell, trapped once again somewhere between life and death. Like the moment they accepted her and made her part of their family.
                “I’ll go fix her supper.” Eve said softly kissing Adam’s cheek heading for the kitchen. Adam turned carrying Dani down into the basement where Jeremy and Kaylee had been preparing a place for her to sleep safely while they were making a ‘visit’ to the corporation that had plagued them for far too long. Adam carefully and gently lay her down making sure she was comfortable. He sat down beside her as he looked at his Dani, wanting her, willing her to open her eyes and return to him.
                He wrapped her torn and broken naked body in his coat and put her in his car taking her home. He bathed her, cleaned and tended every one of her wounds. Then he took her to the basement room where it was darkest, coolest, and safest. He tried to feed her but it simply wasn’t possible. Her body was far to damaged, abused, torn to bits. Not knowing what to do he called Eve and asked her to come home. It took a while, almost two weeks for her to make it there from Tangiers. In that time he stayed by Dani’s side. He spoke to her, played soft and gentle music to sooth the agony she was suffering having no way to express it, her body refusing to heal.
                Now, here he was again. Trying to take care of his beloved, but unable to truly reach her as she danced on the thin line between existence and oblivion. His fingertips gently stroked her cheek, before leaning down closer to her. “She’s beautiful Dani.” He whispered to her in a soft voice, “Our daughter. She has your bewitching eyes, she shares Eve’s wide eyed wonder, her optimism of the world around her. She’s strong, healthy . . . a perfect beauty. More than we imagined or could have hoped for.” His eyes turned down not knowing if she could hear him or not. Closing his eyes he rested his face to hers holding her close. Wrapping his arm tightly around her middle hoping she could feel him holding her tight.
                Eve returned carrying two pints of warm blood, sitting next to Adam giving him the first. He took it and bit into the bag before holding it to her lips. Once the first few drops touched her lips, her tongue snaked out catching them before eagerly beginning to drink. When she finished the first, Eve gave him the second and he fed her that one as well. The amount of blood they gave her was far more then they drank. Far more then she would normally need, but they didn’t know what sort of toll this was taking on her and wanted to keep her fully nourished and healthy.
                “Kaylee is going to stay here to care for Johanna and watch over Dani while we’re gone. She’s nervous and understandably about if Dani wakes up. But I told her we would lock her in down here in case she wakes before we return.” Eve said, “Jeremy has everything he needs to get us in. We can expect there to be plenty of resistance from these people now that they know we’ve explained clearly that we don’t believe in taking prisoners.”
                “Johanna.” Adam said simply.
                Eve smiled, “In good and eager hands with Kaylee. I think she fell in love with her from the first moment she saw her. Just as we all did.” Eve reached up stroking his hair, “We must stay focused and keep our wits about us my love. I know, I feel your rage and fury at this atrocity and violation that have been inflicted on her, on us. But we must stay focused least we be captured too. Rendering it impossible for us to help her.” She cautioned her infuriated husband.
                His eyes remained on Dani before he gave a nod. He wasn’t certain if he would be able to control his rage when they found this soulless sadistic bastard. After everything he’d seen, after everything thing that had happened, Sean had come to his end. There would be no mistaking it, no room for error this time.
Summer Days
                Dani lay out on the deck next to the obscenely large pool. Under a shade in a deck chair just watching the water as a slow breeze skipped across the surface.
                Everything Sean had told her she researched, and it was all apparently true. The pregnancy test came back positive, she’d hit her head a few days ago, they’d been married for seven years, she’d seen the marriage license. But when she looked for wedding pictures to go with it, she couldn’t find any. Sean told her they were still in storage from when they had moved and would look for them.
                Right now, the one thing that was on her mind the most was that beautiful stranger she’d imagined. He seemed so . . . . so . . . she couldn’t explain it. Dani closed her eyes remembering she felt calmer, more at ease, more at peace, happier when she saw him in her memory. But who was he? Was he real or just a daydream? Someone she imagined?
                Her head didn’t hurt as much today. She was accepting the reality Sean had created more and more. Although he seemed absolutely and completely happy and blissful in their being together, Dani did. She didn’t feel happy, or excited, or anything you would think a happily married woman about to have their first child would feel.
                When she saw Sean, what she felt was anxious, nervous, and uneasy. But he’d said so many times how in love they were with each other, there must have been something wrong with her to suddenly not feel the same.
                Her hands rested over her abdomen. She didn’t feel any different. If they were really trying like Sean had said, maybe she was taking a pregnancy test regularly or something. Instead of just feeling different and trying to find out why.
                She covered her eyes with her hand not understanding any of this. Every question she had, there was an immediate and logical explanation for, often there was proof as well. But still, there was confusion. She may have been a phlebotomist but she still had basic reproductive knowledge and training.
                Sean stood next to the window that looked down over the pool, just watching Dani for a while. It was getting easier but she was still resisting.
                He hadn’t felt or senesced Adam trying to get at them again which put him on edge. That pain in the ass, brooding vampire wouldn’t give up that easily. Just because he wasn’t there didn’t mean he wasn’t up to something.
                He picked up two glasses of lemonade, a smile sweeping his face as he headed down to the pool where his princess was waiting for him.
Compounds and Fortresses
                Jeremy remained in the van with their computers working on hacking into the facilities security systems. But something was odd, the schematics and security systems were all turned around. Eve slipped from the van walking to stand next to Adam. Both vampires had the same overwhelming feeling of foreboding wash over them.
                “Adam . . .” Eve said in a soft voice.
                “I know.” He said their eyes glued on the entrance to the concealed and camouflaged entrance to the underground facility.
                Jeremy hopped out and hurried over to them handing them each a Bluetooth ear piece. “These will keep us in touch and help me track both of you. Especially if you get separated. It’s a maze down there from the indications on the digital schematics.” Jeremy furrowed his brow noting they weren’t responding. Their eyes were firmly on the door and he could see how tense they both were. “What is it?”
                “Have you brought your gun with you?” Eve asked looking at him. Jeremy nodded pulling it out and showing her. She took it and checked it over making certain it was loaded and in properly working order then handed it back to him. “Get back in the van, lock and seal the doors. Seal yourself in.” She instructed.
                Jeremy didn’t understand why the sudden change in their plans, “What? I’m going in with you. I need to be able to see and disable any alarms I don’t have remote access to.”
                “No.” Eve said sternly. “Don’t get out of the van, and for fucks sake don’t get any closer.” He looked around starting to protest again.
                “If you lose contact with us,” Adam cut him off in a stern tone, “Get back to the house and get Dani and Johanna out of here.”
                Jeremy was confused, “You guys, this isn’t an overly guarded compound. Most of the alarms and systems are automated . . .”
                “Jeremy, there aren’t any humans here.” Eve’s voice said not allowing him time to argue.
                Before Jeremy could say anything further Adam added in a low tone, “No zombies. But it is overrun with our kind. You’d be torn to shreds before crossing the threshold.” He looked at Jeremy, “IF we are overtaken, they will come for them, and there will be nothing you can do to protect them. Or yourselves.”
                “All you can do is run.” Eve warned. They hadn’t anticipated or expected the level of danger of this situation. “Because you and Kaylee are human, you’ll have daylight on your side.”
                Jeremy blinked the pit of his stomach feeling sick and anxious. “How? Where . . . where do we run to?”
                “Marlowe.” Eve said, “He can protect them and keep you and Kaylee safe.”
                “And what happens if you fail?” He said seriously. “What happens to Dani? To Johanna?” He shook his head, “Without you . . . Kaylee and I can’t raise her. We’re human. She’ll outlive us both before she’s half grown.” He shook his head, “And Dani? Is she just to be that sadists plaything forever?”
                Eve’s eyes turned away before looking to Adam. He didn’t respond immediately. “You stop feeding her. Giving her blood. Don’t touch her. No skin contact whatsoever.” His voice was serious and his tone was definite. “In a few weeks . . . if not sooner . . . her brain activity will shut down. Then, no matter what or how he tries, he won’t be able to keep hold of her.”
                Jeremy furrowed his brow, “Why haven’t we done that already? . . . why don’t we do it now? If it breaks his hold on her, and bring her back?” He said not understanding why it wasn’t suggested before.
                Adam didn’t answer this time, because he would never be able to inflict such a fate on his Dani. Stepping forward he took out his .38 loaded with wooden bullets making sure it was ready. Jeremy knew he’d heard him and shook his head in confusion looking at Eve, “Because it’s very painful, Jeremy. The body will become weak, sickly, worse than a living corpse. When it gets to the point of affecting brain activity . . . it causes damage. Irreparable damage that cannot be recovered from. It’s wasting, as horrifying if not more than blood poisoning. Yet not yearly as fast.” Jeremy just stared at her unable to respond, struck speechless. “But as terrible as it sounds . . . it’s far more merciful then letting her remain a prisoner. Leaving her a pawn. A toy. A plaything.” Jeremy closed his eyes, a knot in his throat, a tear escaping. He understood their reasons but it was so unfair.
                “She hadn’t done anything to deserve that.” He’d fought just as hard as they had to keep her alive and healthy. Now, she would be headed for a more horrific end then those who had been relentless tragedies in her life.
                ‘We aren’t going to let it happen.” She reassured him. “Sean isn’t so clever as to put centuries and millenniums and centuries of survival to bed so easily.” She rested her hand on his arm, “Go now. Get in. We’ll keep in contact with you and warn you of any dangers.” She hugged him and smiled to ease his distress.
                He sighed glancing at Adam before quickly getting back in the van and sealing it tight as he’d been told.
Blank Space
                When Eve and Adam entered the facility, it was nothing like what they had expected to find. There were a few roaming the facility, but it was as though they didn’t even notice them. Couldn’t even see them. Others were strung about, in the same unconscious state Dani was in.
                “He’s been practicing.” Eve said in amazement. “He’s been tracking and capturing others.”
                “Any enslaving them.” Sean truly had become mentally powerful. Eve and Adam looked at each other.
                “There’s a blank spot on the digital schematics.” Jeremy said on the headset.
                “Blank spot? What’s that?” Eve replied.
                “It means that water, power, other utilities run into the space but it was erased off the system. To keep it a hidden and secret room.” Jeremy explained.
                Adam looked at Eve, “Sean.” She nodded in agreement. “Where?”
Specimens
                When they got to the lowest level that Jeremy guided them to, it was silent and it was dark. There were no signs of life whatsoever. There was a long hallway that lead down even further and it was incredibly cold.
                They came to a heavy duty electronically sealed door. “Jeremy, can you open this one?” Eve asked.
                “I need to see it. Show it to me.” Eve took out her phone and quickly connected to Jeremy showing him the panel and the door. “Attach the widget I gave you to the side panel on the lower right.”
                Adam took out the small device and applied it as directed. There were several buzzing sounds before the lights cycled through and the door release finally clicked. Immediately they opened the latches and pushed the door to let them in.
                Once inside it was like entering another world. Some kind of mad scientist’s lab from an old B horror film. Specimen jars, stage machines, vials, wires, tubes. It was incredibly disconcerting even for the to vampires who had seen incredibly things in their long lives. They found their way to another door and went inside.
                Eve’s eyes went wide as they approached the large tank of purple fluid. Inside floated something that barely resembled a human form. “Oh my God.” Eve breathed. It was Sean and he was on some kind of extreme life support system. There were tubes entering and exiting every part of his body. Several in his skull, more throughout his motionless corpse like form. Wires attached to any place they could be attached. “There’s hardly anything left of him.”
                “Far too much.” Adam growled in disgust that Sean still existed in any form. His eyes flashed with no sympathy for this bastard whatsoever.
                “That’s why his mental control and telepathic skill is so strong. He doesn’t exist in this world anymore. All that’s left is his mind.” She’d seen horrid things in her times, but this had to be one of the worse, more haunting, nightmarish things ever to cross her eyes.
                Moving over to the control panel they saw the extreme wide range of drugs, chemicals and other such substances they had him on. There was a monitor which showed his brainwaves, his mental activity. They were completely through the roof off the charts. His mind had adapted and evolved quickly into his life sustaining source. His illusions, his imaginary world, truly was his reality now. As he was trying to make it for Dani too.
                Adam’s just clinched and he spun around catching a young female doctor roughly by the throat. She whimpered in fear as her feet left the floor and both her hands wrapped around his wrist trying to keep him from choking the life out of her.
                “You’re them . . . aren’t you.” She gasped for air, “The ones . . who tortured, mutilated, killed everyone at the facility that was housing the breeder.” She gasped again. Adam’s eyes narrowed. He hated when they called her that and his hand squeezed tighter, “Please don’t!” She said quickly, her fingers clutching tighter to his arm. “He’s kept me here; I’ve been trapped for almost 4 months.” Adam held the same grip not letting her go.
                “You’re human.” Eve said looking at her. The only one they’d seen or found in the entire compound. “He needed someone here who knew what they were doing. To maintain his life support, monitor him and make adjustments as needed.” Eve said connecting the dots.
                Her eyes shifted to the female vampire, “He gets in my head. Sometimes even when I’m awake. He gets in . . . and he won’t get out.” She said in a trembling voice.
                It was clear this woman was far from Sean’s ally. She was as much his prisoner and victim as Dani was. Eve rested her hand on Adam’s arm to let him know he could release her. Adam held a moment longer before letting go causing her to stumble back over her own feet, her hand wrapped around her neck. “Who controls this facility?” Eve asked.
                The woman swallowed the knit in her throat rubbing her neck as she stood. “He does. Now.” She said softly. “The others, my colleagues . . were given as food to the ones you passed to get down here once the blood supply was exhausted.” She explained. “I’m the only one left. He controls everything through them. Through me.” She said with a shamed and disgusted tone.
                “What is all this?” Adam demanded motioning towards the control panel that took up most of the wall.
                “This panel is his life support. It regulates everything. His fluids, his temperature, his medications.” She motioned towards more switches and the tubes that ran into the next room through the wall. “Muscle relaxants, pain killers, designer chemicals to keep him comfortable. Otherwise . . . otherwise such horrid and unholy sounds of pain and terror come from him. I’ve never heard anything so excruciatingly unearthly. It’s painful to hear. I can’t imagine the level of torment and pain he experiences.” The young woman looked around, “Is she . . . is she here?”
                Adam growled slightly causing the woman to cringe and jump back in fear. “No,” Eve answered her stepping closer between her and Adam. “She’s safe.”
                She looked into Eve’s eyes, hardly able to breathe. “She isn’t.” She answered, “If he finds her, and brings her back here . . . he’ll make her like him. So she can’t . . . she’ll never be able to wake up again.”
                Eve looked at the tank, “This is how they found him? His body so far damaged and decaying?”
                “No.” She said walking over to a computer screen pulling up files and images from when they first brought him back. “He was conscious, coherent . . . his pain wasn’t as bad at first. He cooperated . . . for a little while.” She explained pulling up the images from the cell he had been kept in but zoomed in on the walls around him, “But from the first day, . . . this was all that was on his mind.” They moved closer seeing Dani’s name written over and over again, images of her that he’d drawn and scratched into the walls. She sighed, “After a while he stopped being cooperative. He tried to press our superiors to turn their efforts back to trying to find your friend and intensify them. “ She quieted looking down. “I’m sure you know . . . that once . . . once the corporation loses patience . . . . things change. The experiments get . . . get worse. That’s when his body started to break down.”
                Eve looked at Adam, “My love.” She said gently. “It’s up to you. How do you want to go about this?”
                Adam looked at the human a moment longer before his eyes turned back to Sean. “Do you want to be free of your torment.” He said talking to the young woman, “And live to see the sun again.”
                She gasped and nodded quickly having given up hope of freedom and life again. Between Sean’s psychotic obsession and the many vampires that now inhabited the facility.
                “Then do as you are told and follow our every instruction.”
Enchantments and Curses
                Dani walked barefoot through the flowering gardens on the estate where she and Sean now loved. It had become her favorite place to be. Walking through the blooming roses loving their fragrance that surrounded her under the canopy of the shade trees.
                Sometimes when she was alone and surrounded by light and beauty it felt like she was sleep walking through a daydream. Walking over to a white marble bench she sat down and sighed. NO matter how she tried, it seemed like she simply couldn’t connect with what she was supposed to be feeling. She was restless, she was discontent, and often she was very confused.
                Reaching out she plucked one of the blood red roses from the nearby thornless bush. She slipped it into her hair behind her ear.
                Adam could see her, tucked behind the nearby large willow tree. Hidden by the shadows, he’d slipped into this place by a different means then through Dani. Like a hacker slipping undetected by the security systems through the back door. He couldn’t see Sean and didn’t know where he was, but he imagined he wasn’t too far away.
                Dani sighed and closed her eyes covering her face with her hands wondering what was wrong with her. Adam winced seeing the torment she was in. Slowly he stepped from the shadows moving towards her.
                When she opened her eyes leaning back she realized that she wasn’t alone. She jumped up and stepped back before she froze in place. Her breath caught in her throat as she looked at the man she thought only existed in her imagination. She furrowed her brow finding that she didn’t feel afraid, or anxious like she did when Sean was around. “I know you.” She breathed.
                “Do you.” Adam said waiting for some sign her memories were returning to her. He moved a little closer and this time she didn’t back away. “Do you know my name? As I know yours? Daniela . . . Dani.”
                She inhaled sharply feeling her heart jump when he said her name. She knew him, it felt like she’d known him forever. She closed her eyes tight trying to recall his name. It was there, it was right there.
                Adam watched her struggling and stepped closer. He paused a moment knowing that touching her was going to alert Sean to his presence. But he couldn’t just let her flounder in Sean’s elaborate sea of deception and lies. “Dani.” He breathed taking her into his arms embracing her tight against him.
                When he held her, she felt a deep feeling of relief. Like she wasn’t falling, confused, and afraid. She felt safe, and she felt whole. She gasped melting against him, her body fit so perfectly against his.
                Now her head was starting to hurt and she whimpered as her body trembled. Adam held her tighter stroking her head, kissing her cheek before embracing her again. Sean had himself embedded and intwined through her thoughts, her memories and tried to dictate her feelings, it wasn’t going to be simple for her to get her power back.
                “Who are you?” She said in a desperate trembling whisper. Dani took a breath and pulled back enough so she could look up at him. “Please tell me? Tell me who you are.” She begged, “I know you, I know I do . . .” Tears escaped her eyes as her body clung to Adam’s.
                Adam cupped her face in his hands looking into the human eyes that stared back into his. Clouded and blinded by the countless lies she’d been imprisoned by. “I’m the one who loves you completely.” He said in a gentle loving tone, ,”With every part of my soul.” There was a knot in his throat as his thumbs stroked her soft cheeks, “Who’s been broken since you were stolen away.”
                Her head was starting to pound again as she struggled to break through Sean’s deceptions. Adam hated this, he hated she’d been taken away from him in the first place, but making her forget him and their lives together, their love for each other . . . it was unspeakably cruel. While there were volumes of her past Adam would dearly love to take away for her he would never take it all, including the good memories and good things and the best bites to benefit himself.
                He may have been centuries her senior, but she was one of the very few and precious treasures in his life. What Ava and her friends had done to Dani was unforgiveable, but if they hadn’t committed such atrocities, they may have never discovered how much they meant to each other. How much they loved one another and Johanna may never have come to be.
                Slowly, Adam placed a tender kiss to her soft lips. He slipped one hand into her hair, his other arm wrapped around her pulling the length of her body against his. Dani was lost in his kiss, the feel of his touch and her body. Her arms wrapped around him as their passion for each other seemed to blossom having been drowned out by deception.
                As the kiss parted they stayed close as Adam felt Dani’s entire form tense, weak and shaking began to relax and become more confident. Cradling her head in his hand he opened his eyes looking down at her. The tan color of her skin seemed to flood from her as her pale flawless complexion returned, untouched by sunlight.
                Adam felt his heart jump as her body temperature dropped down to where it should be once again. Her eyes remained closed and it felt like he would expire from the hope driven anxiousness that she wouldn’t shut down into another unreachable sleep. Terrified he’d drift even further from him then she’d been before.
                “Dani?” He voice shivered in a whispered not knowing how or if she would respond. “Sweetheart?” Another moment passed before her eyes opened. Adam had never felt such overwhelming adulation as he did when he saw her clear, sparkling, amethyst eyes looking up at him at last. A bright smile swept his face and he couldn’t stop himself from kissing her again and again.
                Dani’s arms wrapped around him never wanting him to let her go again. Never wanting to feel any other mans arms around her. She belonged in his and his alone forever. “Adam.” She said a smile brightening as she knew and remembered his name again. “Adam. Adam!” She repeated hugging him even tighter.
                Adam’s smile grew hearing her say his name. He buried his face in her neck, “Oh my darling.” He breathed tears escaping his eyes. “I thought I’d lost you.”
                “You found me.” She said in a whispered voice, “You always find me.”
                “And I always will.” He promised kissing her yet again.
                “GET AWAY FROM HER YOU BASTARD!!!” Sean’s voice roared from what felt like everywhere.
