"Shit" Gaius cursed savagely as he made his way through the multiple lifeless bodies littering the hallway, the walls were splattered in blood and body entrails and the smell of blood and death hung thickly in the air hurting his nose. Carefully, he made his way to Serena's room, his nose his only compass. Her room was open, its door torn off its hinges, the bed was destroyed, as if someone had used long, sharp knives across the surface. At least they had left her bags untouched, no way she could be hiding in them. From the state of the room and the motel, he could tell they were pissed when they didn't see her.
"Alright, let's get you back to your owner, we have a journey to embark on" he muttered as he heaved the bags from the messy bits of the bedframe.
"I just hope my sin doesn't catch up with me" a dark look settled in his eyes plunging his face in a star of silence, a hint of guilt splayed on his features.
****************************************
"How could this happen? I was there just yesterday. They are all dead? Who could do such a thing?" Serena sobbed as she hid her face in Klaus's chest, his strong hands were poised awkwardly above her head as a hard look settled on his face.
"Bastards. I'm sure it had to be my brothers, they must have gotten your address and planned to get you there"
Serena raised her head slowly and stepped out of his arms as she shook her head, her eyes shone with tears that streaked down her cheeks.
"Why? Why did they have to kill everyone, its all my fault. If I had just been in the room, I'm sure no one would have been hurt." She bit her lips, "...its all my fault they are dead"
"No. You don't know my brothers, they can do anything just to make sure they cover their tracks" he spat out as he raked his hair with his long fingers and blew out a deep breath.
"Okay, first things first. I have to mark you"
"Huh? How" she hiccupped.
"Listen, I know you are sad but eventually they would have died, its a normal thing. I want you to focus" he leveled a serious face on her, she suddenly felt unnerved by his stare and immediately stopped crying, cleaned her tears and took a deep breath.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Take off your clothes"
"Eh? I'm sorry what?"
He glared at her, "Take off your clothes, I need access to your body to mark you"
She stared at him quietly, her mouth partly opened as the wheels in her head spun at a speedy pace. Was he telling her to pull off her clothes in front of him? For what? She could feel shivers starting from her head and coming to settle in her core. His command uttered with his deep, sensual voice was like a sexy command to her. Immediately she shook her head, no way was she going to let him see her body.
"You...what do you need to see...my body for?" She glared back at him.
He pressed a hand to his forehead as if having a headache.
"I need to claim you on your sigil mark"
"Oh" there was a long pause as she stared down at her feet, her ears were red from embarrassment, she had thought wrong.
"Then why do you need my clothes off?".
"Because in order for me to claim you as my sigil bearer, I need to bite you there. On your sigil mark"
Her face turned red again and she fanned herself with her hand.
"Do...do I really need to pull off my whole clothes? Why not..." she cleared her throat as she looked away, "...why don't I take my shirt up from the back, then you can do whatever you want...to do" she glanced at him.
"Hmm. I didn't think of that." He rubbed his jaw then he looked at her with piercing eyes, "Good idea. Get on the bed, on your stomach"
He left her no time to argue or even think because she found herself moving towards the bed and lying flat on her stomach. His hot body was closer as he moved towards her shirt and reached to tug it up.
"Wait!" She yelled as she turned to face him, fear in her eyes.
"Will it hurt?"
He stared at her quietly, something softened in his chest as he took in her fear filled eyes. She didn't know that this was even more awkward for him, it was a good thing his sigil bearer hadn't been a man. Imagine doing this to a guy, he shuddered in wary at the thought.
"Only for a bit, then the pain will fade"
She nodded slowly then turned back and laid down again. He slowly took up the shirt until her back was showing and he could see the mark, her skin was pale and smooth, the dainty size of her waist was a sight he couldn't resist.
"No we have something to do" he whispered to himself. Without wasting anymore second, he let his fangs free then plunged it right into her skin on the mark. She screamed painfully, he quickly lapped the blood into his mouth and used his saliva to sooth the wound, soon she was quiet.
"Okay, done. Now you have to take my blood"
"What? Your blood? But I'm human, no way"
"Lady, do you want to do this or not" he growled at her.
"Fine, and its Serena" she muttered.
He only huffed as he suddenly took of his shirt, Serena's eyes bugged out.
"W..what are you doing?"
He ignored her as he sat on the bed, took out a small knife and aimed it at a spot under his right chest that had a large wolf tattoo there.
"Come"
Like a robot, she went to him.
"I'm going to stab here.." he pointed to the tattoo, "...once I do, I want you to suck as much blood as you possibly can, that will finish the process. Is that clear?"
"Hmm" was the only thing she could say, you wouldn't blame her. A greek god body was staring right at her and she was expected to touch it with her mouth, every woman's dream. She stifled a scream when he plunged the small knife into his tattoo, blood immediately spilled out.
"Now"
She flung herself on him and latched her lips onto the wound, sucking the blood into her mouth and quickly swallowing. Soon the blood was all in her mouth but she made no sign to stand up. Strangely, she felt like what she had just done was right, in fact, she felt the need to do it again. So, when a moan slipped out from his mouth, she sucked his wound faster and moaned her own as she clutched his shoulders with her hands. Klaus was helpless to stop her as static energy coursed through him and into her.
"Wow, this wasn't what I was expecting" a voice suddenly sounded above them.
