Presenting Douglas Booth as George Lockwood.

***
*September 1864*

"My dearest Elizabeth," I looked at George Lockwood as he turned in my direction. I walked into the library of his home, walking towards him as he rose from his seat. I stopped a few paces across from him, meeting his beautiful eyes.
"I apologize for my intrusion." I begin, conscious of the footman's presence in the room. "There is something I wish to talk to you about, Mr. Lockwood." hoping he would catch onto my formal speak, I glanced at the footman before forcing a smile looking back at George. 
"Is everything alright?" he looks at me with a confused look. He shifted uncomfortably as he looked at the others in the room. "Could you all please leave us alone?" I watched, impatiently as everybody left, the room suddenly becoming less crowded. "Now," he sighs, stepping towards me. "What has you so concerned, my love?" He questioned, worry flooding his face.
"You've always been so good to me, Georgie." I looked at the beauty he held for a moment, admiring it as if it was the last time I would get the chance. His dark hair brushed back out of his gorgeous brown eyes. I reached up, my gloved finger running down his jawline as i lost myself in his eyes. Feeling my hand fall into his brought me back to the room. "Better than anyone else ever has been,"I whisper.
"What is going on, Elizabeth?" I smile softly, looking down at our tangled fingers, feeling the warmth of his fingertips against my icy skin. Letting out a long, unnecessary breath, I force myself to look back at him. 
"Something happened my dear, I need to go away."
"What?" he whispers. "What has happened? You don't need to go anywhere-" I stop him, mid-sentence as I placed my finger on his lips.
"It's my brothers," I tell him. "Something happened to them, I need to be with them, they need me."
"But Elizabeth," he takes my hand from his lips. "I don't want you to go." sadness filled his eyes, I stepped closer to him, filling any space between us. 
"I'm so sorry," I whispered, my forehead pressing against his. "I have no choice but to leave, I'm being hunted. It's only a matter of time before I am found out."I raise his hand to my mouth, kissing his warm palm, resting it on my cheek as I lay my head on it. "I have always loved you, George. More than you could ever know." I kissed his wrist, looking at him underneath my eyelashes. "Please don't forget that," I whisper, reaching my hands up to his cheek, brushing my nose with his before kissing him. 
He jerked away from me quickly, His eyes turning a strong, yellow as he took my wrist forcefully in his hand, he sunk his teeth into my flesh causing a screech to flood from me. I pulled my arm free, blood dripping down onto the floor and the front of my pale yellow dress as I cradled my unhealing wrist. "What did you do?" I whisper, feeling movement in my veins, I looked down at my arm, seeing blackness begin crawling through my veins. I touched it with my other hand, feeling the skin begin to bubble and turn a harsh red. 
"If I can't have you, no one can." George's words made me look back up at him. I opened my mouth to speak but the pain stopped my voice. Why wasn't I healing? "I'm sorry, princess." he steps forward, his lips on my forehead. "You should go."
"What did you do?" I beg, through tears that began streaming down my cheeks. 
"Leave, Now." he snaps, his bright yellow eyes glaring at me. He took a deep breath, turning away from me. Dismissing me. I sprang for the door, my balance already losing itself. My vision began to blur as I hurried to get out of the Lockwood's Mansion, trying my hardest to get back to my brothers. Something was wrong with me, very wrong and I feared for my life.
