Vlad slowly followed, not wanting to expose his bleek skin at all. She came to the pond and scanned her blue eyes over it, then turned to him.
"So have you seen a woman naked before?" She asked him dead straight."Too many times" he answered bluntly back."Pff" she made with her lips then slowly brought her dress over her shoulders, Vlad though truthful to his words about women still widened his eyes.The dress dropped and she only stood in undergarments "Which is worse vampire? Do you crave blood more during the day? Or more during the night?" She asked seductively brushing her fingers over her neck.Vlad was in awe, she hooked her fingers up top, then slowly drew the garments down to expose the top of her chest, but then drew up again "You'll never be that lucky" she said giggling and ran into the water.Vlad gasped, how did that small gesture have him so tranced? He saw her come up and take a breath "Your turn!" She called."Enjoy yourself! I'llAnnette watched Vlad hold that sword up, twisting it she saw as usual no reflection of his reminiscing eyes, so many times Ray spooked her, as she was wiping a mirror then he'd suddenly jump her from behind, he knew he'd always get her since his reflection doesn't show.She felt a blush thinking ten years later that very toyful Ray took her to bed, he didn't seem to remember her much, but it didn't bother her, he grew into a handsome man, and his bite was intoxicating."What happened then?" She asked and he blinked away from the sword."Firstly, Rachel started pondering more and more of how she will find a way to kill me, but as time passed I could see in her she didn't want me to go""You two fell in love?" She asked clasping her hands."Yes... I sometimes wonder of which I am cursed the most, breathing, or her love that soaked me—""—I want to bring the church in somehow" She said as they entered London "Maybe get blessed water..." Her sly smile came to him."
Vlad stood spacing out, Annette saw this happen in front of her even if she wasn't there, he didn't want to, but his love for Rachel forced him to do it... How strong was that—?Slowly Vlad heard the ribs pop back into place, her gurgling slowly subsided until it was totally replaced by the sounds of fresh air being passed. Her eyes up to him, he didn't even give her a chance to die, he wanted her with him, he was that selfish for her.Tears started rolling over her cheeks but she smiled "My dying words... I wanted them to truly be my last... I feel so embarrassed"Vlad slowly leaned forward and kissed her, she didn't refuse this, bringing her hands around his neck and in the kiss he lifted her to his arms."Monsters are only below the skin Vlad, everyone in the world has a monster they're hiding..." Her eyes in his, but she searched them for words, he could see she wanted to deepen the explanation but couldn't find it."I hope I have not cursed you"
Skyler felt her heart climb up her throat when she saw the horizon break up, can her heart even still do that?Behind them the ocean was calm and placid, but ahead the storm was raging so badly it looked like an island, the water itself, somewhere in that chaos Skyler knew there was in fact an island, but getting to it through those towering waves seemed like a death sentence.She received a pat on the head making her shake "Relax" Claire said "Its not like you can die anyway""Oh?" Skyler said stubbornly then took a deep breath and held it.Claire frowned "What are you doing?"Skyler pointed at her mouth."So?"She gasped out "I need to breathe Claire! If I go down and can't breath!? What then?""Swim you idiot!" Villa yelled from behind her.Everyone on board laughed at Skyler's embarrassed face "That's not very nice, I don't think I can swim in waves that big, what if it washes me against the cliffs and knock me out? Knocked out people
Helga smirked at them, then her face went shocked as she held her hands wide "What? You didn't expect me to know? You think you snuck up on me? How dimwitted did you think I am?""Dimwitted enough to allow us this far" Villa said stepping forward, this made Helga burst out with laughter."Oh my dear brave huntress! The infamous Villa Du Bois Muriel!" She stood up, tipped her dress and bowed formally "What an honor to stand before you""Shove the formalities up your hindquarters vampire where's the prince!" Villa said drawing her firearm and aiming it.Helga still couldn't hold her laughter, she pointed "You know! You know who you remind me of now!? Rachel! She had that exact same, confident pose when she nearly died facing me that day!""You will not talk about Rachel in front of me!" Villa said and next to her Skyler had the revolver Villa gave her aimed."I don't know Rachel but Villa is not alone in this!"To Villa's left Claire aimed her revolv
"The Silver cross" Victor said sitting next to Ray "Your grandmother started that organization""Why?" Ray asked.Victor smiled "To kill your grandfather"Ray wanted to ask why again but left it."Vlad was a monster, he was the best at what he did, and he did it to die. I have no idea how long he walks this planet son, but I know he was tired of it, he seeked peace""Could he then really be considered a monster father?""What else do you call something that slays everything the day he feels like it? Sparing nothing that lives? Our hearts don't beat but his was truly empty, and what made it worse was the day he had to strike down Rachel""Did grandma give him some sort if serenity?""Yes, she calmed him, in the time she was with him humans almost forgot about him, I dare say they did... She saved our kind from being hunted""But we are still, the Cross still exists?""Only vampires who reveal themselves to humans, they are hunted by t
It wasn't necessarily a disappointment that Fitzgerald and Samantha didn't find the wolf pack in town, they knew it was the pack of Alpha Tala, she posed no threat, there was one last pack this side that needed sorting.They entered the camp slowly, preparing themselves for another slaughter, those around the campfire turned to them, but Nathan and Sabrina approached first."Elders? What are you doing here?" He asked."We're starting a new era" Samantha said smiling evilly "The era where wolves don't exist but vampires rule!"The fight was about to break out when the fire high as it was exploded and everyone dove for cover.When the smoke rose Vlad stood in the half burning fire's embers, his wings wide, his eyes glowing red.The wolves backed away but Vlad made it clear "The era of vampires you say?" He asked walking out of the fire towards the two other vampires."Vlad!? How did you escape!?" Samantha asked."Oh my dear I did not escape, I w
"His whereabouts are unknown sir" Villa said putting the phone down."Then we do this the hard way" Ray said walking off."I hate doing things the hard way!" Skyler said as the two women followed him.Ray glances at her "I see you sport a great set of wings Countess, can you use them?"Skyler looked at the wings beating as she walked "I never tried, I discovered them only moments ago""Then have no fear, it will come naturally"They scaled a round staircase until they reached a high tower, Ray opened it and found what he had hoped, a balcony so he could get a birds eye view.He turned to the women and brought his wings out, but Skyler took a step back "Wait!? We fly!?""I have a stronger form than this, but I can't acheive it in my weakened state, miss Villa, I can carry you, but Skyler, this is your time to learn flight"Skyler panicked looking at the storm "What if we get struck by lightning!?""Fly above the clouds then" Ray said.
Yolanda had her eyes poised on the road, they were past half way and it felt like the distance they made wasn't sufficient.For years they faced bloodsuckers but now to hear elders are after them was frightening, what does one do against them? The only one to ask is Muraco, and praying to herself Asena would also aid them.There was suddenly a violent bump from the right and Yolanda lost control, the van slid off the road sideways then went into a roll.Screams came from all the women inside and only died out when the roll stopped."Is everyone ok!?" Yolanda yelled.Tika was the only one knocked out, the rest groaned stirring."What was that!?" Tala yelled attempting to get the sliding door open."I don't know, something struck the van making me lose it"She and Tala got out through the he front window of he side lying van and there on the road they once traveled stood Gallant and Ezekiel."Shit, it seems vampires are faster than cars" Ta
A dark corridor only lit up by faint light so weak the distance between them still darkened out, this was the path Villa took almost her entire life.With Rachel gone many years ago the only thing that drove her to continue was respect to the woman who rose her, taught her not only to be a huntress, but how to be a woman as well, and to make peace with being a hybrid.She was here for her last time, after Ray and Tala married she spent more time with them, got to know them, secretly still a huntress gathering information, but then the day came where Ray and Tala asked her a question that turned her world upside down.The greatest respect ever given to her, no reward, no kill, no trophy ever came close to it, a gift, a blessing, it made her open her eyes and see a brighter future, one free of blood.She first did a tour to ease her heart, and the first way took her to the Yard, where the silver test was conducted, the most horrid form of punishment, if you survive it, the
She's seen two castles in her life time but this one felt warmest even if it belonged to a vampire. Tala looked at herself in the mirror as Annette brushed her hair, never in her life has she felt this beautiful, always there in the forest, what leaves and trees wants to see a pretty werewolf? Mike also never cared of how she looked, and no other alpha even bothered.Annette saw how Tala bit her lip and smiled "Are you worried?""No, not worried..." Tala said and blinked "Am I, beautiful enough?""Is that a trick question?""You vampire women are the pretty ones, us wolves never cared about beauty, the males always wanted us to be strong, smart and fertile, never really caring about looks, so... I never cared..."Annette blushed at her view over it, then shrugged "You care so much about how you look, do you consider yourself beautiful?""Uh~ sort of?""Have you ever looked this pretty for anyone?""No""Then think of it this way, he found
The scent of him dragged her to a stop and her nose twisted around to make sure that was what she smelled.Ash stopped seeing her muzzle in the air with ears flat "What is it?""It's, its Ray, he's here!""Ray? Your vampire boyfriend?""My vampire fiancée!" She snarled at him."What will you do?""I'm going back""You heard your father! He told you to stay away from there"She didn't listen, not in full sprint as to knowing the dangers there she headed back, listening, her nose still taking it in, she came closer and closer, until just beyond the trees she saw them fight."Stay here" Ash whispered next to her, it was clearly a fight of epic proportions since no one else interfered, it went on for long and Tala's urges to join grew.The dim night started fading as the sun made its presence known, this made Tala worry, Ray showed clearly he didn't have a ring if Sol on, he fought like a true vampire, alongside her Alpha self, ho
Vlad and Tala engaged again, she swung a claw but he grabbed it and threw her, as she left his grip Ray came in and struck his face sending him back as Tala did.On the front foot Ray kept the attack going, he jumped up and landed in Vlad's gut but it was a mistake, Vlad grabbed his leg and stood up with him hanging, before Vlad could deliver a kick Tala had his arm in her jaws and pulled him from his feet, swinging and taring, managing not only to free Ray but tare away Vlad's arm and leaving him screaming.The two stood side by side watching the red in his eyes as he glared at his own bleeding stump, then his leer came to them "Don't get your hopes up just yet, you think this is the first time in lost an arm?"Both Ray and Tala felt a chill, Vlad stood upright and the blood dripping from his arm started spinning like thread, rebuilding that arm until it was fully whole."It hurts, I won't lie, but taring me apart will not mean my end, you need to dig deeper! Bu
Ray landed between them and placed Tala down, first pushing her aside to face Helga and Vlad. To him it was obvious this is his grandfather, the features laid deep, he saw his father in him.But now he was stuck between who to face first? Helga? Or Vlad?Vlad made it clear he was attacking the elders, so for now he could say Helga was the initial target, he turned to her, he didn't feel like making introduction to Vlad yet, Helga caused many wolves pain, she will fall here now."Boy, I don't know who you are, but she's mine" Vlad said."You look a little bloodied up, I recon you can take a rest, this bitch not only staked me, but killed many wolves, shattering lives! Wolves I was close to, friends with""And she killed my beloved! This reason superseded yours thousands of years ago!" Vlad yelled at him.Ray took his focus from Helga's panicking face to him, should he tell him now? Or let it simmer."She killed Rachel? I thought you staked her?"
The rush of bloodlust in the air was enough to get the wolves on their feet, Muraco almost tasted it on his gums, walking in front of his group he shot out his claws."What is it!?" Tala asked, she felt that presence in the forest, and it felt familiar."It's a vampire" Ash said smelling the air but his sence of smell was answered by a giggle, behind a tree Lilith showed herself."I've been discovered""Lilith!?" Muraco asked."So the tension rises, the very earth cries as we stand to face each other"Muraco didn't understand what she was up to, he strolled up to them, even so Muraco felt she couldn't be alone, he had to ask "Where is Asena?"Her smile became a wicked grin "The earth shall cry"Muraco moved first when the brush broke, Asena came from behind to take Tala but he dove into the High Alpha as Ash took Tala down to save her.Pinning Asena down he reared at her "What is the meaning of this!?"Asena had tears in her eyes but
"Why did you kiss me?" Tala asked knowing she allowed it."I, I'm not sure" Ray said standing back.She smiled none the less "Thank you""For?""Showing me you care"He smiled also "Of course, never doubt that"Tala turned to the van when Tika came crawling out, she held her head but when she saw the dead pack tears came to her eyes, she looked at Tala "Tika sorry""It's ok, you are still part of my pack right? I'm not alone"The young woman forced a smile "Thank you, but what now?"Tala turned to Ray "The prince of vampires will save the wolves"Tika looked at him, he nodded "Make no mistake""Are you sure?" Tika asked."I am, all I need is a for filling drink, then I'll be ready"Tala folded her arms "You know you can always drink my blood right?""I am aware, but I need you on full strength" he said and looked down "I feel ashamed actually, if I had more confidence in myself I would have gone alone, but
The age old rivalry between vampires and werewolves was a misconception, it was never that they hated each other but merely one battle hardnened man who believes in honor of combat seeking a respected and powerful enemy to commit suicide through foe.For a being walking the earth, cursed with life, and eternity of seeing people be born grow up and die an old man, unable to see the next life, unable to rest, started looking for ways to die, he drank poison, swallowed silver, bathed in holy water, even sat and watched the sun, but his black heart was so far down it couldn't be blessed with eternal darkness, his eternal curse.All who faught against one another built the hate over years came from a stronger killing a weaker, the wolf killing the vampire the vampire killing the wolf, a vicious and misunderstood chain reaction.Victor and Muraco decided it had to stop, somewhere the feud had to reach some sort of stalemate or it will be an endless cycle where no one wins,
Gallant and Ezekiel came next to each other and lifted their capes, they drew their rapiers and held them.Tala didn't even know they had swords, who even uses swords these days!? She blinked when Vlad's great sword came in front of her, it was longer than she was, thicker than her arm, and all she could see in it was her eyes shocked at the scene in front of her."Still with the measly small swords, it is clear you never took honor in the strength I gave you, if they made swords bigger than this I would have had one by now!" Vlad said and held his sword away from Tala pointing it forward.She then realised why he did it! He held it to her as a gesture to 'stay back' he wants to fight two elders by himself!?She stood ready but he's sword came to her again "Don't be stupid now Luna, I have made it clear to stay back, this is my mistake to correct""You are alone sir!?""Is it clear to you to whom you just said that!?"She swallowed "Uh~ yes?"
