Chapter 50 Perfidy-2
"Joseph? Dn asked you a question, what are you doing here? I was not aware that you had
someone sick in here. The infirmary has been free of patients since we arrived in thisnd. So what are
you doing in here? Did you suddenly fall ill? Or hurt badly that you need special attention from the
suffering in any way. So what business do you have in here?"
Joseph stutters, unable to respond to his interrogation. "I I, I''m sorry. I just wanted to ask the elder
duties to tend to tomorrow. I need to get some sleep before the sun begins to rise."
rick chuckles and brings his hand to his chin. biting his lower lip, exposing his canines, and his
eyes turning dark. Joseph suddenly fears for his life, he knows rick is stealthy and can be very
deadly when angered.
"Joseph, did you know I have always been able to tell when someone is lying to me? And I can tell
that you are lying to me, Joseph. I don''t like being lied to." He sneers,ing closer to Joseph, making
him take a step back.
He gets closer, and closer, taking one step closer after another until Joseph is pinned against the

wall and rick. He tilts his head to the side and closes his eyes. He knows he''s going to have no
choice but to tell him why he is really here. But if he does so, Carrie will bepletely angry at him;
and that means he will be doomed either way.
"rick? What''s going on?" rick bes startled by the sound of Elena as she stands by the
infirmary''s entrance. She takes a step close, realizing what is happening, she gulps and looks between
all the men. A loud sh warns them of another intruder inside the infirmary.
Quickly, she runs towards the room where they hadid the body of Harou and Candace''s baby.
She bursts into the room but realizes that while the men were arguing with him, Carrie has already
made her way inside, the lifeless tiny body of Candace''s baby is in her arms.
"Mom? What are you doing here? what are you doing with the baby? put her down at once!" Elena
pants, she slowly walks to her mother, focusing on not turning her eyesight away from her.
Carrie brings her arm forward, a small surge of energy emitting from her hand, making Elena stop
in her tracks.
"Get back Elle! This doesn''t concern you. Now, step away, and let me get out, and no one will get
hurt." Elena narrows her eyebrows and her eyes turn dark. "I can''t let you do that. Put the baby down
mother, or I won''t be able to stop my wolf from taking over. Now, slowly put the baby down. I mean it!"
She growls, exposing her canines as the men make their way to the room.
"Elle, what''s happening?" Elena quickly turns, seeing Emma by the door, and feels a surge of
energy sting her and making her hit against the wall. Carrie had taken advantage of Elena''s
distraction from Emma and sted her with her energy. Emma gasps and quickly runs to aid Elena,
dropping to her knees and lifting Elena with her hands. Elena sees her chest, a dark red mark from the
impact of Carrie''s attack quickly fades away.
She''s shocked by how quickly she heals and looks at Emma. Emma smiles and shrugs her
shoulders, a stray tear running down her cheek. " I guess I''m exposed now! I''m not just a vampire Elle,
my mom was a healer. I have always been able to heal instantly when I get injured, and now you can
too due to our joining of ritual. But I''m afraid that it wasn''t enough to save Candace''s baby." She
narrows her eyebrows, a big knot caught in her throat as she turns her head away from Elena.
She stands, giving her hand for Elena to take and rising her to her feet as well. Elena takes her
hands in hers and hugs her. "Thank you, Em! For all your help, I don''t hold it against you for keeping
from me your lineage. There is nothing wrong with you for not being a pure blood of the vampires. You
are still you, and I will always be your friend and sister." She smiles at her, but their distraction is to the
advantage of Carrie, as shees forward, prating Emma''s back and ripping away her heart from
her chest.
Elena''s eyes widen in shock, as rick stands by the door. Emma''s eyes slowly lose their light
and turn her into a grayish morbid look. Slowly her body falls in front of Elena, The blood tinting Elena''s
nightgown as she holds Emma steady, shock in her face as she begins to cry and holds Emma
embraced tightly.
"No! What have you done? Why did you do this? You treacherous evil witch!" Elena''s voice was
broken and filled with turmoil, disappointment, and anger.
She quickly stands, ready to rip Carrie apart, but she vanishes before her eyes. rickes
close to her, embracing her tight, and kissing the top of her head.
They feel a sudden wind, and turn to realize Keiran stands before them, shock in his face as he
sees the lifeless body of his wife. He stands in shock, and slowly, his face turns towards them, furious,
he growls, realizing Elena''s gown is filled with her blood.
"You! What did you do to my wife? It was you! You killed her. . ." Steadfast, he exposes his fangs
andunches towards Elena. rick instinctively shifts onto his wolf and begins to attack Keiran,
pinning him down to the ground to stop him from attacking Elena and hurting her.
"Keiran, this isn''t what it looks like. Listen to me!" ALarick tries to get through Keiran but to no
avail. His anger is too strong to get him to reason with the facts.
He kicks rick off of him, and runs towards Elena, holding her by her throat and lifting her off the
ground. "I''m going to kill you, just like you killed my wife. She did nothing but love you like a sister, and
you repaid her by stabbing her in her back." He readies his fangs, sneering close to Elena, unwilling to
give her a chance to exin the event.
rick quickly tackles him, pinning him down once again on the ground as Elena heaves and
coughs, trying to catch her breath.
Dn quickly makes his way as hees back inside after dealing with Joseph, and aids Elena to
a safe spot. She fears and shakes as she sees Keiran and rick fight. Quickly, they are both torn
apart by their own guards. Though they struggle to maintain them apart, they hold their ground and
keep them in ce.
"Mark my words rick, this treaty is now considered treachery on your behalf! And this. . . means
war! I will have my revenge on my wife''s behalf. Doesn''t matter how long it takes me. . . . I will have
MY. REVENGE!"
