What woman won't do to get man she loves?



  By the time Angelique got back home, she already had visitor waiting for her.
She opened her door, "Get in." She hissed coldly to dirty older man.
Man walked in and waited Angelique to give him permission to sit.
"Sit. I need you to do something"
"I thought so, otherwise you wouldn't have called me here."
"Don't pretend to be smart."
"I'm sorry."
Angelique looked at the man emotionless expression on her face. "Carolyn Stoddard Collins. Little bastard I sent you to bite years ago, I want you to make her hunt down Victoria Winters."
"Victoria Winters? But why?"
"Don't ask, it's none of your business." Angelique hissed.
Old man sighed. He knew he had no other choice but do as she told him to.
He nodded, "Of course. As you wish my lady"
"Good. Now leave."
Angelique watched as old man left her house and go to window, following him with her eyes as he walked towards Collinwood.
She wasn't sure of Werewolf manners, but she knew that Alpha-Wolf was able to make others do something obsessively until they successfully done it.
"Once Carolyn get obsessed with killing Victoria, law of nature will tell her to either run, or die... Wolfs are beasts. Nothing else. I'm sorry Barnabas, this is how it has to be."
She finally turned away from window and sit down, sinking into her memories.

 .... "Run Angelique, run!"
"Daddy?"
"Run!"
Angelique blinked her eyes confused and looked up to her father. "But daddy I want to stay with you"
"Run!"
Soon the door opened and Angeliques mother came. Angelique heard her father sigh in desperation.
"Hide." He hissed to Angelique before going to stop his wife.
Angelique go into small closet in kitchen corner, finding her baby brother there as well.
"James?"She whispered, touching soft cheek of the baby.
He was sleeping peacefully.
She turned around to look into the room from tiny hole on the door.
 She didn't understand what her parents were talking about, but she knew her father was afraid and wanted to take her and her baby brother far from her mother.
 Soon she heard a cry of pain and loud bang. She let out small scream helplessly.
"There you are." She heard her mother say and soon the door of small closet, her only hiding place, was open.
"Come out." Her mother took hold of her hair and pulled her out of her hiding place. "You should be on your bed!"
"I will go mother, I will go! Please, let go! It hurts!"
Baby started to cry and Angelique felt hard hit on her back and then her mother was carrying the baby away. Angelique looked around and saw her father laying on floor.
"Daddy?" She whispered, trying to wake him up.
"No... "
She heard her mother coming to the room again, so she quickly run to her bed, pretending to be asleep.
        Not very long after that, she heard someone breaking through the door.
Angelique sit up and run to see what was going on.
Strangers, who she recalled sometimes to see around her father, was taken her baby brother.
"James! No! Take me as well!"
But men were gone as fast as they came.
Angelique knew she was in trouble, so she run out of the door as far as she could, falling tiredly to the ground as she heard men talking.
 "Where did you come little girl?"
She opened her eyes for while. "I'm.. Angelique, sir."
"Angelique, where do you come?"
"I'm lost... Alone."
"You have no parents?"
"Mother... "
"Well, we will take you to her in morning. You seem badly hurt, I will take you to my house. I am Joshua Collins."
Angelique felt her small body to be lifted up and gently carried to warm, comfortable house.
  She has no memory what happened next, but next morning when she woke up, she saw her mother talking with Joshua.
"Good news my little one" She heard her mother say in fake loving voice, "We will stay here. We will serve this family."
Angelique closed her eyes tiredly, tear falling to her cheek as she remembered her dead father and lost baby brother. Only few weeks later, she met her youngest master first time. Barnabas Collins.
 He smiled warmly and take hold of her hand, gentlemanly kissed the back of her hand.
"Barnabas Collins"
Angelique felt her cheeks getting hot, she shyly said only "Hello"
Barnabas smiled and looked at the clock, "My lessons is starting, I'm glad to know there's other kids around here, see you sometimes!" He said and quickly left.
 Angelique looked after him and then at her hand. He kissed her hand like she was a lady.
She smiled and go back to her work, looking forward to see young master Barnabas soon again....

  Phone ring woke Angelique up from her memories.
"What?"
"Angelique, where are you?" She heard Elizabeth asking.
She narrowed her eyes. "How you have my number?"
"Your other workers gave it to me, now answer the question. Where are you?!"
"Home."
"I need you to come to Collinwood now and fix whatever you have done to my daughter."
"Do I look like Werewolf?" Angelique asked coldly.
"No, you're a Witch. And you're only one who could do this to her."
"Let me tell you this. Werewolfs are like wolfs. They has one leader in the group and whatever this leader tells them to do, they will do. I'm not a wolf. I have nopower over them if their leader is commanded them."
 "Who is this leader?"
"How could I know?"
"Who you send to bite my daughter?"
"He's dead long time ago."
"What can I do to help her?!"
"Nothing." Angelique answered coldly and hang up.
She smiled and settle down her phone. "Rest in peace Josette."
 She was able to take only few steps before the phone ring again.
After sigh, she picked it up, "Yes?"
"Angelique?! Angelique, oh my god, are you now in this little thing?"
"Barnabas, it's phone. I'm not in it. Now what you want?"
"Help! Carolyn is even more strange than usually. What is wrong with her?"
"Barnabas I'm not a wolf. I can' do anything. You need to find Alpha-Wolf to make her stop her strange behavior."
Before Barnabas answered, she heard loud scream and painful sobbing and then Barnabas calling for Victoria desperately.
"Barnabas?! Barnabas?!" Angelique called, without answer. She put down her phone.
The desperate voice that Barnabas called for Victoria, broke her heart.
 Without second thoughts, she picked up her car keys and left, driving towards Collinwood as fast as she could.
"Miss Elizabeth it's-!"
"Shut up, where's Barnabas?" Angelique asked from Willie.
"With Miss Winters."
Angelique hissed and go find him.
 "Barnabas, get away from her."
Barnabas, who held Victoria on his arms, looked up to her. "Angelique!" He cried, bloody tears running down his cheeks. "She doesn't breathe!"
Angelique kneel down front of him, trying to make him let go.
"Barnabas, let go of her. She's bitten by Werewolf. If she turn into Werewolf, she could kill you. Werewolfs and Vampires will kill each other."
Barnabas let Victoria go unwillingly, watching Angelique carefully as she picked up Victorias lifeless body, studying the wounds.
"Can you help her?"
"I can't do miracles Barnabas"
"You're a Witch! Help her!"
"I cannot!" Angelique stand up, looking at him broken expression on her face. "I cannot save her! She's bleeding too much, she'll die within hour. And Werewolf bite is poisoned her. She's just to too weak. Otherwise she would have become a Werewolf as well. But she's too weak."
Barnabas shake his head, trying to go to Victoria but Angelique stopped him.
After trying to fight her off for while without success, he broke to cry on her shoulder, weakly hugging her.
Angelique fight back her own tears, not because of her sorrow to Victorias death, but the pain Barnabas felt. She hugged him tightly, "I'm so sorry, my love... I'm so sorry."
 Without knowing the true reason of her apologies, Barnabas expected her to be sorry for his loss honestly.
He hugged her tighter "Don't ever leave me Angelique... Don't leave.. I beg you."
"Shh... I'm always yours. I'll never leave you." Angelique promised desperately.
For small moment, she felt joy for his need to keep her so tightly close, desperately needing her to be by her side, but the  pain he felt hurt her heart.
 'It is worth it.... I will heal your broken heart my love. I promise'
