Gabriel wakes up to a morning filled with shame and regret. In Rachael's vulnerable state, he infiltrated her mind and sought to seduce her. But he wasn’t alone. Samuel was there and his intentions were not pure. Gabriel felt Samuel's presence leave but someone else came. Gabriel stands up from his bed and goes to the bathroom. He groans as his head twinges. The 6’3ft being washes his face and stares at the bathroom mirror. He recalls seeing Frank McQueen. He didn’t say anything but his presence was enough to sever his psychic link to Rachael. Am I a monster? He wonders. Rachael wakes up in the room the twins gave her. As for how she got here is a mystery to her. “Ah,” she groans as the hangover kicks in. She hardly took alcohol until she started working in the club. Now she finds herself struggling to stand up from her bed. She feels an extra weight on her hip and uses her hand to search for the source of discomfort. A dagger, the same dagger Rachael used to get her

Gabriel and Rachael train for two hours and decide to take a break. Gabriel picks up a telephone and calls reception. He orders for water and juice. “You have more stamina than I expected,” Gabriel commends Rachael who is soaked in sweat. “Stamina? I feel like I took a long jog,” Rachael pants. “Your form isn’t bad either. You trained before?”, Gabriel asks. “Years ago. My mom used to show me some moves,” she says. She leans against the wall and takes in a deep breath. He stands in front of her, a few feet away. Her presence makes his heart warm with joy. Her eyes pull him in like a whirlwind. Rachael notices him staring and she remembers her dream. His intense gaze and herself in his arms. “What?” she asks. “Nothing,” he says but his smile betrays him. “You smile more nowadays,” Rachael says. “Is it a good thing?” he takes a step toward Rachael. “Compared to when we first met, yes it is” she says with a smile. “I used to think you were full of yourself,” she says. “

Rachael stands under the shower; playing back earlier events in her mind.Why did she get mad at Samuel? She shakes the question out of thought but her restless mind moves to another incident.She remembers Gabriel’s words.I want you, Rachael.Why did he say that?What did he mean? I can’t allow myself to put too much thought into this, she thinks to herself.Her mind doesn’t wander far from this morning.She bites her lip when she remembers Samuel's shirtless body.Her imagination is short-lived when she remembers Elena in the equation. The only person here that shares a bloodline with her, but she has no joy to share with Elena.The warm water running against her skin feels refreshing. She closes her eyes and the thought of the twins holding her naked body underneath the shower gets her smiling.It would be quite a feat to have the twins lusting and loving her.Recently, she feels pulled to Gabriel and she wonders why.Is it because he healed her or because he came to s

You look terrible by the way.I still don’t get you.Why do you fuck with vampires?No interesting human in your life?” Elena questions.Rachael drinks from a bottle and exhales.“We only train, we don’t talk” Rachael says, putting up boundaries between them.But Elena doesn’t care.“Who was the first to tap that ass?” Elena pushes on.“We know who

John opens the door and barely sees Rachael's frame behind Gabriel. The sphinx turns his eyes to the vampire and pulls away from Rachael. “Rachael, come on girl. Get dressed so we can leave,” John says. “Let’s give her some space,” he says. The two immortals exit the room. They walk side by side; “Let her be, Gabe”, John says to Gabriel. “I can’t do that John. I’m in love with her,” Gabriel says. “No, that’s not you. Let her be, man. She isn’t built for our world,” “Neither were you,”. Roosevelt Auto Wrecking, Queens, New York. The Tremblays arrived thirty minutes earlier than agreed. Being a hunter of the supernatural; it has never been wise to leave their fate in the hands of the monsters. Kate and Lucas Tremblay stand outside the shop while they chat. Marcus joins them. “Do you trust them?” Lucas asks his older brother. “Never trust a supernatural. John likes to pose as a good man even though he is one of the undead. We will use that to navigate the situation,” M

John, Elena and Gabriel have a laugh as John makes a joke about Elma. Elena wasn’t comfortable when she first came here but being with this group of immortals has changed her perception of vampires. Before now, she and her family only ever tortured creatures of the supernatural for information that would lead to another hunt. She saw them as monsters who only thought of draining the lives of mortals. She never thought they had real social lives that did not involve death. But to see them laugh and talk makes her see them in a different light. “Hey,” Elma offers to pour her a drink as her glass is empty. She nods as the vampire fills her cup with liquor. “So, who is oldest amongst you guys?” Elena asks. She throws her hair backwards. “I am,” Gabriel says. Elena eyes his tight shirt as it grips his body. “How old are you?” “I am 500 years old,” he says. Elena is shocked and she almost chokes on her drink. “Take it easy, love” Elma pats her on the back. “500 years? You have
