What a violent Christmas

It was the day of the first Christmas party at the local hotel. Anastasia had spend the entire day dressing up her cousin and sister-in-law before the big event. It was weird not going, so Theodore had invited her out for a late evening stroll down town. Just looking around and talk. Theodore and Ana didn't really talk that deeply, but it was nice spending time together and just wandering around. It wasn't till they both smelled blood that they made a quick stop and looked at each other. They began to run closer to the source, Anastasia being a vampire, was their first. She looked at the siren on the ground. Clearly she had lost a lot of blood. Theodore stopped a few steps from them. The people who had done this were close.
"Go, I will take care of this," Anastasia assured Theodore and looked down at the siren. She checked the sirens pulse. She could hear how the heart was about to give up. Vampire blood wouldn't be able to save her from dying, only slow down the process. She thought about Tiana and how her best friend not long ago had been out for a similar attack. She knew what she needed to do. So she took a bite of her own wrist and placed it close to the sirens lips. "Drink," she begged as she kept her wrist close till the siren had had enough of her blood. Anastasia closed her eyes just before snapping the sirens neck and breathed out.
"I'm so sorry," she whispered looking down at the girl.

Meanwhile. Theodore was hunting down the two vampires who had sucked blood out of the poor siren. Maybe it was because it was what had happened to Tiana not that long ago, and everyone was touched by that event. And he wanted to make someone pay for that. The vampires were faster than he was, but they couldn't just walk through the walls of the houses and the walls on the streets. He used his magnetic force manipulation to bend two lampposts so they wrapped around the vampires. Normally Theodore wasn't into killing, or harming anyone. But being trapped in his mind could time to time make him feel like he was stuck in a nightmare. A nightmare where he lost control of himself. Death was too kind. He knew that. It was easy. What he could do was forcing them to remember every nightmare they ever had. Leaving them screaming as he ran back to Anastasia. If they survived this, they wouldn't hurt anyone ever again - if not, their minds would break down.

Theodore ended up right next to Anastasia and sat down next to her. He looked worried. "You did what you needed to do," he assured her and placed a short kiss on top of her head before looking at the siren. "I just remembered Mariella telling about how Tiana woke up alone, could have died.. I couldn't let that happen to anyone else," she said almost breathless. Anastasia had made the choice to save the woman against her will. "I know. No one judges you for action on emotions. We are all touched by that. Let's take her back to the mansion," Theodore suggested and waited for Anastasia to agree. Once Anastasia agreed, Theodore picked the lifeless body up in his arms and walked down the streets till they reached the mansion. He walked into his room and placed the siren on his bed. Him and Anastasia sat down and waited for her to wake up. Ana had been down in the kitchen and grabbed a few vials of blood for when the siren woke up.

She wasn’t sure what had happened. An innocent night of working out late, she was on her way home, only to get attacked by vampires. They killed her. Emptied her for blood. She was hanging on her last breath. That was apparently her story. She never got to discover who her real family were. She never got to discover how come she had gotten John´s sword… everything was a blur. A blur she was finally getting out of. Or, so it seemed.
A little light of hope stood in front of her, In a form of a vampire (ironic enough) and a demon. But… this vampire… was nothing like the one who had attacked her. She asked for Odette to drink. Without questioning, Odette drank the blood, led it disappear in between her lips. It tasted like metal. And it was warm… so warm.
As the wrist was removed, she looked up at the beautiful vampire, sending her a little smile, before with one snap everything turned black.

With a deep breath and sitting up in a shock, she woke up and looked around. She placed a hand to her heart. It was no longer beating. With eyes teary, she looked down at her hands, just to see how they were trembling.
“How… How am I still alive?” she mumbled.
Out of the corner of her eyes, she noticed the two people from before, sitting across from her. Weakly she smiled at them. No matter who they were, she knew for sure that they saved her life. “Th… thank you.” She smiled sweetly at them. “Thank you so much.”

The guilt was tremerling in the vampires system, and she felt the small shakes in her hands. Theodore grabbed her hand to make her know it was alright. Suddenly the girl woke up, both Ana and Theo became aware and moved their eyes over to the newly turned vampire. Anastasia looked at the girl with a sad smile as she was thanked.
"Don't thank me just yet," she said folding her lips a little. There was a little tear in Anastasia's right eye, and it ran down her cheek. Making a trail of blood. However, she noticed it and quickly removed it. She wouldn't be okay till the girl was alright with being turned into a vampire, it was the first vampire Anastasia ever had turned. "You are a vampire now," she explained. Theodore walked over and sat next to the girl and gave her a smile. He had the vial of blood in his right hand. "You will feel much better after you drink this," he assured. Anastasia stood up and walked a bit closer looking over Theodores shoulder. All she wanted to was to make sure that the girl was alright. Was this what her father had called the sirebond? She had never understood it, not till now.
"It will be alright, we will take care of you," she assured with a warm smile. "My name is Theo, and this is Anastasia," Theodore presented them.

The beautiful girl in front of her was crying blood. Something that worried the former siren. As she reached her hand out for the vampire, she quickly realized, she was a stranger and it was therefore weird. Nervously she started to play with her short hair instead. All her senses were like brand new. But for some reason she felt like north was south, and up was down.
A vampire. She was a vampire now. The Turkish eyes of Odette opened in shock. She was a vampire. That… that couldn’t be. Her eyes landed on Anastasia. “A… a vampire… how?” her throat felt so dry. Like a dessert. “I´m not sure… I…”
when the handsome young man, gave her a vial of blood, she looked at it like it was a meteor landed in her hands. “I… I don´t know how… I… uh…”
as they showed their kindness to her, she couldn’t help but have the feeling of crying. But she didn’t. she kept those tears inside. “Thank you… I´m… I´m Odette.” She looked from Ana to Theo. “It´s so nice meeting you both. If I can repay you… in any way.”

Theodore looked up at Anastasia to see if she was up for telling Odette how everything had happened. "When we found you, a couple of vampires had almost drained you for blood," he spoke and returned his chocolate brown eyes back at the new vampire. Anastasia placed a hand on his shoulder and took a deep breath in. "So I tried to feed you my blood, but even with that you wouldn't be able to heal. So I turned you," she explained. Anastasia wasn't fond of saying that she killed her so she could be reborn.  Anastasia sat down in front of Odette and took her free hand.
"We will get there, just look at me and breathe," Anastasia looked into the cyan eyes. Theodore smiled at Odette. "No need to repay us. Don't think about it, we just wanted to make sure you were alright," he added with  comforting smile on his lips.  Anastasia nodded in agreement. "What he said," she slightly tilted her head a little to the side.
"If you want something more familiar, I can order a pizza?"- "Theo!" - "What? I'm just saying. Pizza always makes me feel better."

Odette sat quietly and let them tell her how the situation was. They didn’t have a choice, they turned her to save her. Nervously she started to play with her fingers. “So… does that mean… do I have to… uhm… kill people now?” she looked rather scared up at the two. “Not that I… haven´t done that… before… I was a siren after all… but…” The vampire could clearly feel her terror. She sat down in front of Odette and tried to calm her down. Odette did as told, she breathed calmly in and out, until she found herself calmed down again. “Thank you.” She smiled warming at Anastasia, before looking at Theodore, the one who now offered pizza. She remembered Pizza, back from when she had meet this Ramiel. “Well… maybe uhm… a pizza could be… good?” she chuckled and took one of her short hairlocks behind her ear.
“I… I will pay… oh… wait a min…” here she started to pat herself on her thighs. “Ahhh… dang it… I think I dropped my wallet.” She sighed and shook her head.

Theodore's eyes widened up a bit more, when she asked if she had to kill people now. Both himself and he also knew Anastasia was against killing. Anyone in this mansion was against killing, but it didn't mean they didn't have any blood on their hands - sadly they all had.  
"No, god no," Ana interrupted Theodore in his trip to memory land. "Just because we drink blood it doesn't mean we have to kill. We get these," she nodded at the vival of blood. "Its from a hospital, we don't just go around biting people.. that would be rude," she smiled a little and tilted her head to the side. Theodore looked at Anastasia with a cheeky smile on his face. "Aha! See?! I told you. Pizza can solve all problems," he crossed his arms proudly. "Yeah tell that to Trump," she snorted a bit with a little smile. "That is one brillant idea," - "No, its not. God, Reggie is gonna kill me for giving you idea" she shook her head a little in frustration and then looked at Odette again.
"Sorry, he can't really concentrate for long and everything excites him - or almost everything," she looked over at Theodore again. Then she searched for her wallet.
"How about I will go down into the city and bring us some pizza - and hopefully find you wallet on the way?" He suggested with a smile. "Don't worry about paying. We have money," he assured.

Odette sighed relieved. She did not have to kill people. It was possible to get blood in other ways. Her smile, bright as daylight, showed her feelings. “Oh, what a relief!” she clapped her hands together. She now focused down on the vival of blood. “Now I just… have to get use to drinking blood… I guess…”
she quickly shook her head and smiled at the other two.
she couldn’t help but chuckle, as it seemed that Theodore deeply believed that pizza would be solving this problem. Not that there was a problem anymore… was there?
They both seemed so sweet. Being around them felt rather nice. She gladly admitted that.
as he suggested that they went out for some pizza and looked for her wallet, she nodded and stood up. Here she brushed the dirt of her clothes.
“again, you guys are to kind… if there is anything I can do, then please tell me,” she said and bowed kindly for them.

"I will be there if you need any help, I promise," she smiled gently to Odette. "How about we let Theo get the pizza, and I will find you some of my spare clothes - then I get the bloody ones washed?" She suggested. Theodore crossed his arms a little. "I see, not all you Mikaelsons are good at pizza delivery," he narrowed his eyes a little as Anastasia made a face at him. "Oh please, just because you prefer Reggie getting it for you. Get your lazy ass out and get some already," she threw a pillow after Theo who ran out of the room through the wall.
"And oh yeah, he can walk through everything," she rolled her eyes and smiled warmly. Anastasia had known Theodore since she was a kid - his ability wasn't that weird to her anymore.
"Come with me, I will show you the closet," she opened a door to an entire walk in closet. "Just pick what ever you want," she walked over to a drawer and pulled out a little box. "I have a few spare things, but you will need this," she handed a blue ring to Odette. "While you wear it, you will be able to walk around in the sun. It's enchanted, don't worry. It doesn't make us married," she teased with a little half smirk.

Anastasia seemed like an almost to good to be truth creator. She would be there if Odette needed any help. Which she probably would. Being a vampire was probably not the easiest thing to be. So… she needed any help she could get.
when Anastasia offered some of her clothes, Odette could feel a relief inside of her, she didn’t even know she needed. “Thank you so much.”
Theodore did not seem thrilled about the job though. Before Odette could even say something to the young man, he disappeared through the wall, which made her gasp in surprise.
“Did he just…”
Anastasia explained everything, kindly and sweetly, as she then got up and asked for Odette to follow her. With trembling legs, Odette got up and searched for the balance, before she took the courage and followed Ana.
It was like a dream come true, when Ana opened a door up and a walk-in closet, stood in front of Odette. She gaped. “What… whatever I… I like?”
the sound of a draw getting opened, made the siren turn her head, only to once again focus on Ana. A blue ring was shinning dimly in the light. “The sun.”
carefully she took the ring and admired it, as she turned it around, looking on every detail. “It´s beautiful. Thank you.”
The little comment made Odette chuckle and slowly start to walk back to the closet. “awh… I thought it was your way of saying I belonged to you now.”

Anastasia had never turned a vampire before, only heard stories from her father about how it was done. He always talked about it being important for the sire to be their from their creation in times of need. Talking about a very special bond. She wanted to understand that bond, maybe then she could understand why Tiana was so close drawn to Sebastien.
"What ever you like," she assured with a smile. Anastasia had way to many different items to choose from, and her closet back in her time was even larger. "No problem," she smiled and a light giggle escaped her lips to Odette's words.
"You wish," she added with a teasing smile and walked with Odette into the closet.
"And don't worry about paying back or anything," she sat down on a chair in the room with a pair of high heels in her hand. "My parents are rich, and I'm a spoiled little brat. So, just take what you want. I truly mean that." Her parents being rich was an understatement, but she couldn't really say that she was a future princess of the city.
"So do you have anywhere to go? Friends? My social circle is pretty big, maybe I know some of them or have heard of them," she tilted her head a little to the side. Anastasia didn't feel comfortable about Odette just walking out from the mansion alone. Even through she was a former siren, the new bloodlust could be hard to control.

Outfit she picks: https://perezhilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/daisy-ridley-mtv-movie-awards-2016.jpg

She could choose whatever she wanted from the closet. Sweet music to her ears. With a thankful smile, she went inside the closet and found a dress, comfy and sweet, just her tasting. Here she removed her bloody clothes and let it fall to the ground. As she took the dress over her head, she noticed how her heart wasn’t beating. “Is it… is it normal for vampire not to have a beating heart?”
Now dressed in the cute dress, she walked out to Ana, just in time to see the beautiful brunette sit down with a pair of high heels.
“You don´t act like a spoiled brat if you ask me,” Odette commented with a smile and sat down on the nearest chair. “I really appreciate all you done for me… you and Theo…”
when she asked if she had any friends, Odette smile and nodded. “Yeah, I have a friend Called Veronica. She was the one who showed me this world. She´s a siren.”
Comfortable she stretched and sighed happily. “It must be nice having a big social circle!”

"Yeah. But the good thing is, if someone breaks your neck.. you will heal," she pointed out the good side of it. She let Odette get dressed and waited for her to arrive and smiled as she saw her. The comment made Anastasia chuckle a little.
"Well thank you," Anastasia tilted her head a little to the side. "You are welcome. I'm only sorry that it was the only way I could save you," she added with a little sad smile. However, she was pleased that Odette didn't hate her for doing this to her. "If you ask me, Theo is the best if you ever need someone to help you with control. My brother is good as well, but he is at a dance with his wife at the moment - and me. I guess I'm good enough too," she frowned a bit by her words. It wasn't like Anastasia often doubted herself. But she was unsure if she was enough for this newly turned vampire. Odette was her responsibility now. "I turned you .. it means I have to make sure that you are okay and that you learn how to be a vampire - the first thing about being a vampire, is realizing how awesome you are," she smiled a bit bigger. Then she mentioned a name. Veronica. A siren.
"Like a Veronica with pink hair, short but really pretty?" She asked. Mariella's mother went by that description so maybe Anastasia was right, she did know a lot of people.

She would heal. Alright. No problem there. She listened carefully to what Ana had to say. Anything going from her brother being a good teacher, to her father and herself. She had a big family. That was nice.
here Odette caught up on Ana doubting on herself. “I´m pretty sure you´re good! And I´m not just saying that because you are now my creator.”
When Ana started to like a teacher, Odette crossed her legs and looked excited. Just like a child in their first day of school. “okay okay… the realizing… okay… it´s cool being a vampire… I got it.” She made a little fist bump and nodded.
as the talk now turned to Veronica, Odette smiled widely by the thought of her knight in shinning armor. “yes, yes, that veronica! She´s the one who introduced me to this world!”

There was so much to learn. She knew that. Deep down… she hoped that it was possible.
As the conversation went to Veronica, Odette smiled, but shoke her head. “No… do not call her. I´m good. I will be good… and yeah, she sure had… she saved me from the ship I was on. How… how do you know her?” curiously she tilted her head. “Has she saved you to? Maybe introduced you to her… Uhm… complicated mate.” Here she took a hand up to her lips and giggled. “I know… I know… I just teasing because that´s what I called it… when I first stepped on land.”

Veronica wasn’t with Jessalyn anymore. Oh. That was a shame. They had seen like a great pair. But things changed. Nothing was permanent. She had learned that the hard way herself.
she nodded and then smiled weakly. “Oh… okay… time has flown right over my head… I can´t even remember the last time I saw Veronica actually…” nervously she started to play with her fingers. “I came to land around 2 years ago now.” She smiled and closed her eyes. “It still seemed like yesterday… everything was so new and exciting… and confusing…” she opened her eyes again. “How long have you been a vampire?”

Ana was an expert in the vampire area. In this moment Odette appreciated that Ana was her sire.
“Okay,” she said with a kind smile. “a pure blood vampire… Don´t laugh at me when I says this… But I uhm… I kinda thought all vampires were created… not born.” Nervously she played with her short brown hair. “Yeah, that sounded silly… but… how does it work?” she looked curiously at Ana. “If… it´s okay I ask, of course!”
