When reading one doesn't take the time into account, whilst waiting for Hannah Skyler decided to pour through history books to educate herself over Vlad, that time she met him she didn't even know he was real, to her merely Turkish folklore, but now, twenty years later she found herself staring at a picture of the Count himself again.
If he was here now? If she had a moment of peace with him around a cup of tea? What would they talk about? Skyler read how he was married to Rachel but after that nothing, from here on she presumed only a vampire will know the rest.She jumped in her seat when the other woman sat across from her on a couch, Skyler didn't even hear her enter."How marvelous to meet you countess~" Skyler found her voice nectar sweet, almost like that voice was made to draw you in, a moth to a flame, referring to a vampire term the older the stronger made sense to Skyler, now that she's a vampire as well at least, as a human she would never haveThe towns on the map being so small many of them where not even registered, only the third stop later did they reach Mys Smidtha, the told location of the werewolf attack.It wasn't much, just like the road they used to reach here the tar was badly maintained and many roads didn't even have tar."Now it makes sense why they'd shrugg off a werewolf attack" Nightingale said scanning the place as they headed through the town."How's that?" Dante asked."Its, barren, I mean look at it, its one step short of a ghost town""Many towns are like this here, Siberia is extremely vast and the population is just more than a quarter of America, even if its almost the same size""I wonder why?""Maybe its because of the harsh conditions, remember if you go far enough east you'll find Alaska just over the ocean, the conditions are similar..." Danté said looking at the lake not far off "But, it still doesn't make sense, this town is between a lake and the ocean, its not i
'He's close... Can you feel him?'Rebecca opened her eyes slightly, the trip was still on and Villa didn't stop to rest yet, deciding its best to push through.She looked at her mother who had her eyes poised forward.'Can you?'It wasn't her, Rebecca figured it must he her wolf "Feel who?" She asked making Villa look at her.'If you were anywhere close to me, you would have realised the danger you're in, or maybe, you won't be in danger... All I can say is... You're surrounded'"Surrounded?" Rebecca asked loudly again and Villa instantly glanced around but the knock hitting the back of the pickup made it swerve on the icy roads.Rebecca screamed holding on for dear life as Villa fought hard keeping the pickup in a slide, but they hit a ditch and it rolled.There was a hum in her ears, somewhere into the roll blood spilled, she felt hot as pain raked her. Rebecca groaned opening her eyes to see them upside down in the snow, the door got ripped
Rage! A flame of agony and pain shot through Rebecca making that rage drip even more pure, she looked at her blooded fingers sporting claws, felt her tail hit the wall as it kept swinging in frustration, why can't she remember this!? It has happened before but she never remembers it being this painful!Her tight stretched clothes agitated her but that was due to her own event, her body was shifting out and the clothes was losing the struggle, tears flowed out her eyes making her blink clenching her canines.Then the rips, the noises of it, the sound confirming her now beyond being human, she looked up her arm to see it muscular, her skin drawn tight making her want to scratch at it."Fuck–!" She roared and clawed with her shackled hands to her shoulder, blood spilled as they tore at the shirt and skin, but through the blood the black fur sprouted.Alexander gave two steps over to Villa and tore her chain out of the floor, he then grabbed her by her arm and drew her out i
Skyler blinked and looked at Asena "Rachel's... Six?"Hannah slowly approached the white haired woman who stood glaring at her "The six of the best hunters, not even Vlad knew of them, it was Rachel's little secret, her contingency, a force that can overcome anyone and anything on earth, even slay Vlad himself" she explained smiling wickedly at Asena as she circled her.Skyler knew she had no clue as to what was really going on in the vampire world, after the death of Vlad she completely isolated herself from it, not wanting any part of the creatures that turned her world upside down, but now, she who has the capability to do in depth detailed research about anything she puts her mind to, has missed this thanks to her arrogance."Don't say anymore Hannah" Asena said."But why? You came here like a night in shining armor to save your beloved countess, she at least deserves to know why you were brave enough to tread this close to death"Asena looked at Skyler, who in re
"Asena, you were the wolf, and Hannah? Judging by how strong and old you are you must have been the vampire?" Skyler asked, she never heard of a fey before, if she wasn't mistaken they are mythical creatures but? So they really exist?"No" Hannah said smiling "The vampire was called Sebastian Velvitali, the very first one bitten by Vlad"Skyler swallowed, her lack of interest came to bite her ass now! She thought Raphael was the first Velvitali!"Then... Where is he now?" Skyler muttered, but a smile on Asena's face made a cool brush of calm come over Skyler."He's dead..." Asena said but a group came around the building with Roman leading and she held back any more."That's enough, Asena, you should leave" he said."Not without Skyler""She is here on her own accord!""No I'm not! Although..." She looked at Asena "I want to find this tomb Asena" she said fiddling with her hands.Asena brushed her hand over her face and groaned "Very well, I will com
Outside in the snow Villa received one more tuck at her chain making her stumble into the middle of what used to be the small town's main road, around her stood the pack, she could finally do an assessment of their numbers and of them saw only two familiar faces, Nathan and Sabrina, the Alphas of the now fallen Lunpa clan.She snorted "Correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't the captain usually go down with his ship? You two cowards left your pack to die""Be quiet Villa" Nathan said "The entire wolf way of life doesn't exist anymore thanks to Raphael, we're left to be these nomads living in a broken down ghost town like outlaws, you think we wanted any of that?""Do you know why he did it?""Its obvious" Sabrina said this time "You call us cowards but Raphael got such a fright over Tala killing Vlad he sent his vampires to kill us in our sleep!""Where is Tala? She was once part of your pack right?""We have no clue, it seems the good king and queen did the same as us, f
The first thing that crossed Danté's mind was the Wolvesbane, Villa only cried once when the pain was too instant to continue and she fell to her side, caring not to land on the arrow sticking out of her chest."Xena!" Danté yelled going to his knees next to Villa "What are you doing!?"Xena has already made sufficient distance and drew another arrow "She abandoned the Cross Danté, its punishment is death! Why do you even ask what I am doing!?" She said."You don't understand...!" Danté had no words further when he saw the black lines like roots of trees spread over Villa's skin, she was dying, and fast, he quickly grabbed the arrow and ripped it out, Villa was so stunned by the pain of the Wolvesbane she didn't even respond to that."Why are you helping her!? That means you are also betraying!" Xena yelled still having that arrow drawn."I..." Danté watched her face, wide eyed, her wolf ears drawn flat and mouth gasped but
• 20 Years ago, Vladimir dungeon •That time Vlad forgot all about him, Hector didn't know why? His biggest fear was he found Kaylee and killed her, his love for her being his only real reason for living left after Jasper died by the hands of Vlad.Maybe this was his punishment for all the wrong he has done to people alongside the witch Elaine, he was not proud of his achievements.He clung to it at the time, life, as the shackles clung to his wrists, holding him to the wall of the damp Vladimir dungeon, he refused to give up, refused for it to be the last of himself, not until he could at least say farewell to his beloved.The pain in his larynx didn't supersede the pain in his heart, Vlad might have broke it with a blow, but nothing quite broke him as much as the idea of not seeing Kaylee, he needed to escape and be with her, begging fate to keep her safe... But escape was not necessary when out of the hum of silence came the footsteps."Hector
