Nova

You belong to us, Nova. You belong to us.

Their voices mingled inside my head until the sound was deafening. Out of the darkness more of them came, men and women slithering along the ground like hungry serpents, ready to strike. Their eyes were bright with need, their ivory fangs lengthened over bloody lips.

And from the center of these pathetic creatures stepped a ghost.

A wounded sound slipped from my lips. No, it couldn’t be. But it was.

Devlin Holland. His pale skin shimmered and dark brown hair flicked high on his forehead, just as I remembered.

“Nova.” He reached for me. “It’s lovely to meet you.”

My insides turned to water as his icy fingers touched my hand, then trailed along my arm. My voice wavered. “N…no. This can’t be real. You’re dead. You’re dead!”

Slate grey eyes bored into mine. Pale pink lips curled at the edges in a smile that never reached his eyes. He was the same as I remembered, but subtle differences taunted me. He moved differently, looked at me with a mixture of loathing and intrigue.

“My brother haunts you, doesn’t he? He lingers in your memories, touching you even while you’re awake. There is poetry in that, I believe. Our revenge will be sweeter.

I scowled at him. He was Devlin, but not.… Those subtle differences were more apparent now. His hair a little darker. His face thinner. Yet he still had that same cruel gaze and penetrating tone.

“I look like him, don’t I? Don’t worry, my beautiful big brother is still very dead. You and your pathetic excuse for a vampire saw to that. But I can see why Devlin was drawn to you. Your hair is the most beautiful shade of auburn, and those big, beautiful eyes…”

Lighting carved my mind. An invasion that tore through my thoughts.

Devlin’s voice floated to the surface. You’re a fighter. Good, I do enjoy a challenge. Come to me now, Nova.

I shuddered. The last thing I wanted to remember was that night.

“There’s only us now, Nova.” Adam brushed his fingers along my hair. “My brothers and I are going to enjoy you. We might even keep you for a while. How does that sound? You could return home with us. We’ll keep you as a little pet and share you… we like to share our things.”

Blue eyes called to me. Kol whispered, don’t give up… don’t give up on me. Hold on. Hold on, Nova. I’m coming.

I was on a raft lost out at sea waiting for him to rescue me, just like he had before. He’d never failed me… he’d never failed me.

“But he did, or don’t you remember? He let you leave that office alone. He could’ve stopped you before you stepped onto our brother’s boat. He could’ve stopped you if he cared.”

I shook my head, my thoughts jumbled. He couldn’t—not without breaking some vampire code. I understood that. But he still came for me. He still came.

“Only it was too late by then.” The voice was soft, insinuating. “He knew that. Why do you think he’s been so distant? He failed you, and so he pulled away.
