Vlad x Victoria (1x1 with Lady Luna and Gilmoregirl)

It was 1525 and the Vasile family was hosting the summer ball at their manor. All sorts of people were invented to this including the elusive Dimitru family. Rumor had it something horrible happened to their daughter, they had barely seen the family since an incident happened 10 years ago. The lord and lady of the manor watched their guests entertain themselves, the band played music and there was much happiness in the room. Little did they know a man of great power was among the guests.


Victoria looked out the window of the carriage, her mother and father were trying to describe this man to her. She had tuned them out, she had met the man before, many times before. She knew his type, he was interested in power and land. She wasn't royal but her family did have land. She only agreed to come since, it was an excuse to get out of the house and into town. Luckily it was nighttime so she could actually come out without the risk of being hurt. She looked at her parents who, gave up talking to her and talked to themselves about this Dragos man. She sighed, he wasn't like her in fact, he treated her poorly because of it. The carriage pulled up to manor and the door opened. Her parents got out first then, she got out. She was wearing a red dress. Her black hair was mainly down except for some that was braided behind her head and adorned with jewels. The trio walked up to the door and two servants opened it. As the walked in a man announced their arrival.


'Now arriving, Lord and Lady Dimitru.'


Her parents walked into the ballroom together then it was her turn.


'Now arriving, Lady Dimitru'


She walked in and was approached by some people she knew.


"Yes, I am happy about tonight. The man my parents have introduced me to is here."


Her friend who had just been wed smiled and hugged her.


'Oh Victoria, I am so happy for you! A woman is nothing until she has a man to take care of her'


Victoria gave a weak smile when her friend spoke, she didn't agree.


'Oh Victoria, I do have some advice. Paleness is attractive but, you look like a ghost! you need to spend sometime in the sun.'


Victoria rolled her eyes at her friend.


"Please Emilia, I told you that I do! I'm just afraid to get to tan. Then I will look like the working class."


She only said those lies to avoid saying that she actually burns at even a faint bit of sunlight. Her parents approached her with a man in tow.


She recognized the man, he was Dragos, the man she was supposed to marry. He took her hand and took her off to dance floor before the next song. She spotted a man in the crowd, something about him. She could barely look away from him. Something about him, it was like she wanted to seek him out.


'Look at me ghost girl.'


She snapped back at Dragos who seemed upset with her. His tone was mean and he didn't really love her.


"I am sorry my lord."


He looked displeased with her.


'I am to wed you , so I want your attention on me. Even though I find you repulsive and you like a corpse.'


She frowned at the man, he either called her a ghost or corpse. It hurt her and she didn't like it.


"Yes my lord. I will only pay attention to you."


As they began the dance she stole looks at this other man, and smiled at Drago. She looked back at Drago and saw that he was flirting with another woman. She wanted to slap him, if he was going to be mean the lest he could do was only pay attention to her.

Vladimir had been in the war and was just coming back from his time as a knight. He came back with less men then he had gone away with. The lord of the Manor he use to live in had invited his men over as he had just gotten back. Vlad was a hero to all he was Vlad the Impaler, faster and deadlier then any man.


He had gotten to the Mansion late afternoon and was set up in a room he had spoken to the Lord if the manor after he bathed and dressed he was still dressed in his black armor with a red dragon on it. It was metal like the other knights. He would regale his victory for the Lord of the manor and his guests. The evening of the Party rolled around and many men and woman came it was a Party in his honor and to welcome all the soldier's home. Vlad had stood talking with some men he was drinking and laughing when Victoria got announced his head turned to see her. His eye's followed her. Her skin was radiant her black hair and beautiful Blue eye's hit him like a ton of bricks. He had stopped mid sentence. Then turned back."Sorry must still be tired from my travels. Where was ahhh yes. There we were out numbered and the men charging at us.." he continued to speak and talk his lips curled in a smile. He got a glimpse of the beauty he had seen earlier as a servant brought him. More to drink. He kept watching her out of the corner of his eye's. He finally excused himself to go sit. The woman next to him nudged him.


"Found a woman for that tined body of yours Hero Vladimir." She asked him. He shook his head."No miss, but I think I might have. His scanned the room for her. Vlad was infatuated by this creature he must have her. He had money and status even land. Just no wife to spend his lonely miserable days with. He looked down at his food. He was annoyed he couldn't have her. That was till he heard a small throat clear. It was her. He turned his head to her with a small smile. He stood and bowed.


"Lady Dimitru, your beauty is spoken of in hushed reverent tones, even reaches those ears that are in battle." He said and kissed her hand."I am Vladimir Dracul well known as Vlad the Impaler, but you may call me Vlad." He said.


"Do you wish to dance." He asked her with a small smile.

Victoria was not enjoying the night, this was the summer festival and homecoming for Vlad the impaler. Instead of having a good time she was stuck with Dragos the womanizer. She finally was able to seperate herself from him, she let out a sigh of realief. She spoted the nearest servant with wine. She walked up to the sever and grabbed herself a glass, she needed a drink. She continud looking at the man, then it hit her. That was Vlad, the Vlad. The one this party was about. She looked away from him for a moment, mainly because she caught him looking at her.


Am I crazy? that is the Vlad. He would....


She looked back at him, there was something intoxicating about him. She just had to speak to him but, manners did not allow this. She sipped on her wine as she thought of a ruse.


I could...thank him for his service! Yes, it is expected of me and, he does not know about Dragos.....


She decided to wait, if he was looking at her she surly must be worthy of him approaching her. She tapped her glass with her finger. She kept glancing at him and Dragos, who at the moment was staring at a woman. She decided that she needed to try to escape Dragos. She set her wine glass down and went through with her plan. As she approached Vlad her stomach was in knots and she was nervous. This man was powerful, wealthy, and a war hero. She finally stood behind and whispered excuse me. He didnt do anything, she looked around frantacly and finaly cleared her throught to try and speak again. She didnt expect him to stand up, let alone bow to her. She could feel her cheeks warm up, she knew she was blushing. She looked at him, her blue eyes looking straight into his. She didnt know what to say when he said he had heard of her beauty.


Am I...really that well known? He knew me I...I..


She smiled, she felt suprisingly calm when he spoke to her.


"Thank You My Lord."


She said while she curtsey to him. He told her to call him Vlad.


Wait, but, thats against better judgement....others may think that I am rude....


Then he asked her dance, she could not belive it. He was aksing her to dance.


"it would be my honor to dance with a man of your rank, Lord Dracul."


She did not want to seem rude to the others. She was a stranger to him, it would be rude to be so informal. The band statred up the next song, a simple waltz.


"Come my Lord."
 
Vladimir smiled and watched her she was very flustered by him. It made him smile and raise an eyebrow. He nods and took her hand. He lead her to the dance floor.


"As you Wish Lady Dimitru." He said. He smiled and pulled her in as the music started. He moved gracefully around the ballroom with her. No one else in the room existed but her. He dipped her when the song ended. His lips inches from her's as he looks down into her beautiful blue eye's. His matching hers just in a deeper shade of blue. He stood her slowly and stepped back bowing.


"My Lady." He said.


"Would you care to join me outside for a drink. I am sure you will be missed by many with that radiant beauty of yours,but I am sure they wouldn't mind a Honorable Knight and war hero escorting such a Beautiful night flower around." He said. He grabbed her some wine as the server passed. He took his glass and lead her out side by the small of her back. Once outside he gently put his cloak around her shoulders.


"So the night air does not nip at that radiant skin and make you cold" he said. He still couldn't figure out why he was so attracted to her. There was something more then her looks. He couldn't put his thumb on it till the breeze blew her full scent to him. It was a sweet lilac of a scent. He had smelled it many times before. She was one if his kind, but that was horrible. She was so beautiful and wonderful how could that be.


"Ahhh when were you turned my dear?" He asked her and placed a gentle hand under chin so she looked at him.


"You are to beautiful to be one of us, with a heart full of gold." He said and rubbed a gentle thumb across her cheek. He was caressing her smooth flawless skin. His body was facing her as he pulled her closer.


"You know I know what people have been saying about you. I lied back there, your name has been whispered about. Not in the way I told you. People think your to skinny and to pale. That your eye's are like a hawk and you will devour a man. I however believe your the most beautiful creature in the room tonight. I could not bare to take my eyes from you."he said lifting her hand and kissing it gently. His eye's never left hers."Though the sun has passed, not a days go by with out your beauty shinning bright. Even under the glow of the Moon." He said. He watched her closely as he set his wine down and pulled her to him.


"Beg your pardon if I am being forward Lady Dimitru, but shall like to plant a kiss on those heavenly lips." He said. He would not kiss her if she pushed him away.


DeathToAllBetrayers
 
Victoria enjoyed the dance, it was one of the ways she judged a man. A good man was well mannered and could dance. She found herself, lost in the moment with him. His aura was intoxicating, there was just something about him, it made her feel accepted. Like she was not alone in this world. But, she was, at least she thought she was. If he found out what she was, he would surely turn away. The next thing she knew she found him close to her, very close to her. She didn't know what to do, she just looked at his eyes. Blue like hers, although a deeper blue. She curtseyed when he bowed to her. She nodded when he asked if she would join him outside.


"It would be an honor."


She didn't have any obligations especially since Dragos seemed interested in the woman he was staring at. In fact she was pretty sure she saw him close to the woman's face. She found herself being led out by Vlad, she was greeted by the night air, it felt good. She didn't decline the cloak, it smelled nice. A very familiar scent but, she couldn't put a finger on it. She was caught in the moment of being with such a man that his question of when she turned hit her like a bag of bricks.


Wait what? how? how did know?


She tried to look away but, he had her by the chin. She had to say something, so she told him the truth. She was surprised to hear that he thought she was too beautiful to be a monster.


"10 years ago today. It happened so suddenly, I am sure whoever it was, was merely looking for food."


She didn't want to hear that he lied to her, she thought he was perfect but, he lied. She wasn't happy that he pulled her closer. She also did not like that he repeated what people said about her. She looked away from him but, found herself looking back at him.


"I knew it was a lie."


As he pulled her closer he asked to kiss her. She may be a monster but, she still had manners. She leaned in closer to him but, she wrapped her arms around him resting her head on his chest. She was dealing with a lot right now; her parents making her marry a man she didn't love, being called beautiful by Vlad, and finding out he was like her. She was glad to know she was not alone in this world.


"A kiss is much as the moment. I thought I was alone, they told me I was alone. But I may be swayed later."


She was going to play hard to get, if he really wanted her he would have to show her just how much he loved her.
 
Vladimir sighed as He watched her. He listened to her tell her story


."Ahh yes they probably not,but I am glad your here because if they were just feeding you would not be alive." He said. He nods and bit his lip. He had pulled her close. He knew he had upset.


"Let me explain dear, I lied because the rumors are not true. I find you more beautiful then the moon or any woman in the party. So in my mind I was telling you the truth as I see it and you. Do not be upset with me." He said, his blue eye's looking into hers. When he wrapped around her she moved closer. He ran a hand through her hair and gently kissed her head.


"That is perfectly fine Beautiful Night Flower." He said and breathed in her scent.


"mmmmm not alone Lady Dimitru, I am centuries older then you. Trust me the 14th century was nothing. I had a wife and son. But I had to turn to save my kingdom and well. She and my son were killed by other soldiers. here I thought I was doomed to walk eternity with out finding my one true beautiful Night Flower." He said. He sighed and moved back from her and knelt. He held her hand.


"Lady Dimitru, would you make me the happiest Knight in the world and let me court you?" He said and kissed her hand.


"Unless some one as beautiful as you is already caught the attention of another man. Then I should have to wait another century. It will be the most agonizing century." He said and kept kissing her hand.


"Lady Dimitru I do not wish to ever tell you a lie or make you unhappy. I want you to be happy and shine brighter then the moon. I wish to see the Beautiful smile light up this world every day. I wish to see you next to me every morning if only you will give me a chance." She said.


Vlad looked up at her and gave her a warm smile. He was on his knees begging her but he really liked her and wished to keep her in his life for eternity. He had a warm look on his face.


DeathToAllBetrayers
 
Victoria was feeling affection for this man. She just wished Dragos was not around so she could truly be his. Unfortunately, he was and he was most likely looking for her at the moment. She took a sharp breath when he kissed on the forehead. She was still new to a lot of things, she had spent the last 10 years glued to her parents side or locked up in her room. She looked at him when he revealed that he was from the 14th century.


"The 14th century? That means, you once ruled these lands."


She looked at him with want in her eyes, if she could just runaway with him she would be happy. But, she couldn't, she was the eldest daughter of the Dimitru family, it would be shameful to do that. Next thing she knew he was on his knee asking to court her. She bit her lip trying to hold back her emotions. She wanted to cry, it was like fate was being cruel to her again. She hated it, as much as she hated the cow's blood she was instructed to feed off of.


"I am so sorry Vlad but, I have been promised to another man. My parents arranged it, I am to wed him next month."


She looked like a begging puppy.


"I want to say yes, every part of me does but I can't..."


Her face screamed disappointment as the smile an cheerful look went away. She was upset that she couldn't be with him. He treated her better in these few moments they were together then Dragos has in their entire time being together. He was a cruel man that ordered her around like a common servant. She tried not to cry.


"I am so, so sorry. If only I would have met you just a few weeks ago, I could say yes."


She was about to say more when Dragos called for her. His voice echoed and he sounded like he was calling for his maid.


'Corpse girl! What are you doing bothering Lord Dracul? Do you have any manners woman?"


She stiffened up when he spoke to her, Dragos was cold and heartless while Vlad was warm and caring.


"Yes my lord I promise, he invited me out here."


She didn't know had caused it but, she started to feel light headed. She avoided looking at Dragos, she knew he was angry at her.


'Please corpse girl, a man of stature would never spend time with you. Now, I want you to come dance with me. I want people to see that we make a great couple. Especially your parents.'


Her breathing became shallow, she wondered if she was just freaking out.


"Please Dragos not now,"


Dragos walked up and grabbed her wrist. She flinched slightly as he did.


'I said now!'


She tried to step back from when she just blacked out and fell to the ground. Dragos did not even try to help her. Instead he walked to the door leading back to the ballroom and called for two servants.


'Take Lady Dimitru to a room, and tell the cook to prepare a cow for slaughter.'


The servants nodded as they walked towards the passed out Victoria.
 
Vlad laughed and nods.


"Yes I did own these lands" he said. He sighed as kept kneeling till she told him his answer. He watched emotions play across her pale face. His face fell slightly he nods and stood slowly.


"I see my flower, as long as he treats you right and keeps you happy."he said Vladimir


"I was at war a few weeks ago Night Flower." He said. His head snapped over when he heard the lord of the Manor calling her corpse girl. He let out a low growl and watched the man walk up.


"She wasn't bothering me. I asked her to come out here." He said. He felt protective of her. He wanted to growl at him and kill this man. Vlad watched Victoria he was worried about her. He held back his anger after all he was a soldier and no longer a lord. He went to step in when Victoria fell. He moved quickly to catch her before she hit the ground.


"I have got her. I will take her to a room." Vlad growled. He picked her up with ease and told a servant to come with him. He got her to a bed and laid her down. He moved her hair gently and sighed.


"Boy get over here now." He snapped. The servant walked over.


"You will not tell your master and after you leave this room you will forget this ever happened." Vlad snapped


The boy nods and Vlad cuts his hand and puts the blood in a glass.


"Go" away he said to the boy. He gently put the glass to her lips and lifted her head gently as he poured the blood into her mouth. He waited for her to come around.


"Easy relax."He said.


DeathToAllBetrayers
 
Dragos looked at Vlad, he didn't understand the man, a soldier and he cared about Victoria. he waved his hand.


'If you feel like you must Dracul, I will not interfere with a war hero.'


He stepped back into the part and grabbed the nearest woman.


'Care to dance.'


He disappeared into the large crowds, not really caring what happened to Victoria. As long as she was alive, that was all he cared about. He just wanted her land. Meanwhile, Victoria still was blacked out, she had missed her daily feeding of cow's blood. She didn't know that, this diet was slowly going to kill her if she kept it up. She felt the warm liquid go down her throat, it was sweet and oh so delicious. But, it was potent, it was cow blood it was human blood. She coughed as she tried to sit up, she heard a voice, it as Vlad.


"That...is not...cow's blood."


She coughed again, had he carried her to this room? She looked at him, he was truly a knight and, he truly cared about her. But, she wanted to know why. Why someone as great as him would go out of his way to help her.


"Why did you aid me? You are missing your party."


She felt bad about that, he could be having the time of his life yet, he was here, with her.
 
Vlad had ignored Dragos. He didn't care what he said. Victoria was his main priority. He heard him grab another female and he growled. He waited for her to wake. When she coughed he put the cup down on the table.


"Don't move Lady Dimitru." He said.


"Cow's Blood? No you can no longer drink that it will kill you. You must feed off of human blood." Vlad said angrily, not at her,but how she had been treated.


"Because you feinted and I think I care for you. I am going to kill him for treating you as such. I don't care about the party, I do how ever care about your health."Vlad said.


"Here." He said. He cut his palm and bled into the cup.


"Drink this it will help. My blood will give you strength. Now no more cow's blood." He said. He got her comfy and let her drink his blood. Being an original his blood was much stronger and healed any one. He sighed as his hand healed on it's own.


"I am so sorry. I wish I could take you away from all this. You just rest" Vladimir said.


Vlad spent the next month sending her flowers and poems. Even though she was betrothed to Dragos. He would make sure she drank human blood. He had been living in the manor. He would run into her in the gardens and library. They would have secret meetings, where he teach her that not all men are bad and how to act with there kind. He made sure she was his number one priority. On the day of the wedding he sat up front of the grand hall and stood as Victoria walked down the aisle. His eye's followed her and he wanted to growl. The minister spoke and asked for those who didn't think these two should get ready. Vlad paused a moment and stood.


"As a Lord and War Hero. I do not approve the Lord if the Manor marrying Lady Dimitru. He just wants her Land and does not love her. I love her and don't want her lands but her Victoria." He said he walked over.


"Marry me instead of him. I will cherish and love you always and forever. I will never treat you like dirt. I will treat you like a queen."Vlad said and knelt in front of her. He held his sword at Dargos.


"I will run you through where you stand if you make one move. I am not called Vlad the Impaler for nothing."Vlad snarled. He turned back to Victoria.


"Victoria please I am on my knees begging you." He says


DeathToAllBetrayers
 
Victoria lowered her head when he said she could not drink cow's blood.


"I know but, Dragos has instructed me to live off that."


Even though they were not married, she was to follow his rules while she stayed at the manor for the next month.She looked. looked at him with a shocked expression, well as shocked as she could muster up at the moment, when he mentioned he would kill Dragos.


"Kill him?'


She wouldn't lie, the thought had crossed her mind several times, but he was of higher status then her. She couldn't just get away with it, she had gotten away with killing a few low class people.


"I will not lie, the thought has crossed my mind."


She looked as he cut his hand to give her his own blood. She couldn't believe he was giving her his own blood. He seemed so concerned for her, and it was genuine. She didn't really know what to say, she had never had anyone treat her like this in such a long time. She grabbed the coup and took a sip. It was defiantly more potent then the last.


"Thank you..Vlad."


She had put manners aside since they were alone. She looked at him with longing eyes as he said he wanted to take her away from this place.


"There is no need to be sorry, sometimes fate can be cruel and fair at the same time."


Over the next month she felt like a Queen. Not because of Dragos no, he treated her like a common servant, she was thinking about Vlad. Not a day went by where she was not in his presence. He sent her gifts of flowers and poems and they stole moments with each other in the garden. They even had secret meetings. She had learned so much, including that not all human's were bad. She had spent more time with Vlad then Dragos and she had actually forgotten she was to marry him. It wasn't until her mother arrived with her wedding gown that the harsh reality set in. She wished it was a cruel dream that she had to marry such a cruel man. She didn't speak to Vlad at all that day, it hurt her too much. She looked down the aisle and say Vlad, her heart sank, she didn't look at him. She didn't even look happy, she looked like she walking up to the executioner's stand. She barely looked at Dragos when she was standing across from him, it was too painful. She was however not very surprised by what Vlad did. Before the pastor could ask again if anyone did not approve, she heard Vlad speak. The loudest gasps after he said Dragos was only marrying her for the land came from her parents. She glanced over at them and her dad looked very upset. She looked back at Vlad who, was confessing his feelings for her while pointing a sword at Dragos. She looked up at Dragos who's face was red with anger.


'You dare, make such accusations on my wedding day?! I love Victoria and I don't care about her land.'


He pointed at her.


'Don't you dare answer him Victoria.'


She looked at him then back to Vlad. He was the one with sword, Dragos was just yelling. She looked between the two men before deciding.


"Dragos, I would rather work the fields then be called corpse girl for the rest of my life. Vlad"


She kneeled down in front of him. She spoke so only the three of them could hear her.


"My knight, I wish to be with you. But, I need to know you will truly love me for me."


She had been through a lot, a secret relationship, almost marrying a man that was slowly killing her, and she knew her parents would not approve of a marriage to man they thought she barely knew. She leaned closer to him and whispered in his ear.


"Also I will truly be able to be yours once my parent's pass away."


She was still was the eldest daughter of her family. She leaned back, she couldn't help it, she truly loved this man. Without asking and, in front of everyone ,she kissed Vlad on lips.
 
Vlad watched her he waited for her answer Dragos was yelling at her. He lifted his sword higher and held it there to Dragos. He would Impale him for the cruelty he had shown Victoria. When she knelt he looked at her.


"Anything you want my Beautiful Night Flower I will prove to you in any way that I Vladimir Dracul love you with all his heart." Vlad said. Vlad watched her as she talked about her parents. He had many cruel ways around that. He never use on her. Just those trying to hurt her or keep her from him. He watched her closely as she moved from his ear. When she kissed him he brought the sword by his feet dropping it and wrapping his muscular toned arms around her. He kissed her lips gently and pulled her close to him. He felt like the happiest man in the world. He felt the movement in the air as Dargos picked up his sword and pointed it at Victoria. Vlad moved quicker then the speed of light. He broke the kiss and moved her behind him protectively.


"How dare you. Threaten a Lady in my court. I no longer allow your rule here Dragos." He snarled and his face changed to deadly his eye's were murderous. He kicked the man across the alter. Dragks had dropped Vlads sword. Vladimir picked it up and picked Dragos up by the throat.


"I told you I am called Vlad the Impaler for a reason." He stabbed his sword through Dragos right up through his chest. He pulled his sword out and stepped back breathing again. He watched the man gasp for breath toll the light left Dragos's eye's. He picked up his sword and sheathed it. He walked hands up to Victoria.


"My dear I won't hurt you, I very sorry you had to see that,but I would never hurt you." He said as he slowly stepped closer to her. Once in range he hugged her gently and pulled her close.


"I am so sorry my beautiful Night Flower. I promise I won't hurt you, I can't." He muttered his nose hidden in the skin of her neck. His eye's were closed and his firm toned arms embraced her in a warm and loving embrace.


DeathToAllBetrayers
 
Victoria felt like she truly found her true love. Wrapped in his arms she felt like nothing could harm her. Not even her fiancé. His words still rand in her ears, he would prove his love in any way. She was lost in the moment with Vlad that she did not notice Dragos pick up the sword. She only realized it when Vlad moved.


'Out of my way! If I cannot have her, then I will simply marry the next in line. And I will sweeten the deal by taking out the eldest one, death will be welcome for a monster like her!'


Victoria was afraid yet, remembering Vlad's strength she felt completely safe. She just wished Dragos knew when to keep his mouth shut. Messing with a man like Vlad. He was different like her and much stronger. She glared at Dragos.


"Fool, you should learn to keep your mouth shut."


Vlad kicked the man across the alter, she had never actually witnessed a fight before. She didn't know how to react, it had never crossed her mind that she would witness a battle. She bit her lip as she watched Vlad approach the man. She had to look away when Vlad lifted Dragos in the air. She didn't think she could stomach watching it, yet she was. She covered her mouth when she heard Dragos yelp and saw Vlad impale him. She hadn't even killed anyone, her father did that before they started feeding her cow blood. She froze when the unmistakable smell drifted past her nose.


blood......sweet, sweet blood.


She looked at Vlad with his hands up and dead Dragos in the back, currently being mourned by his parents and her mom.


"I..I know you won't..."


She was still shocked by the scene, she felt weird like she had enjoyed watching it. She didn't know if it was right or wrong, she was just confused. She felt safe again as he embraced her, he was apologizing to her. She felt like he had done nothing wrong.


"There is no need to apologize for taking his life. He was a cruel man."


She liked this moment, she didn't want it to end.
 
Vlad had been enjoying this embrace,but he had to talk to the crowd and let them know who was now in charge of these lands. Vlad pulled back gently with one arm around her."These are my Lands now if you still support or mourn this corpse after today. You your self will end up on a pike along side him. I extend the invitation for the Dimitru Family to stay here in my Manor." He said turning to the crowd.


"I am the new master of the manor and these lands. Pack your things and move on if you do not care for my reign." He said. He turned to a servant.


"Get that corpse out of my house and on a pike immediately also clean up this blood." He said. He turned to Victoria and smiled warmly.


"Let's get you and your radiant self out of here. Nothing for a proper woman like your self to have to endure." He lead her out and to the gardens. He wrapped his cloak around her shoulders. He kissed her cheek and just walked with her gently the cool day rushing through her hair. He pulled her into an embrace again just to breathe in her sent.


The next 5 years he would spend almost every waking hour with her or thinking about her when he had things to attend to. He would plan grand parties in her honor. He would make sure she drank her fill and nothing but human blood. He kept servants on hand to just feed him and her. Vlad made sure her favorite meals were cooked. He even send her followers and poetry still. He had also slowly been poisoning her parents. He did not like them and they did not like him. They thought him a brute for killing so many people in a cruel manner. All had been impaled on a steak and hung up for all to see,before the bodies were burned to ash,by Vlad's command. Tonight was another grand party in her honor Vlad sat in his seat watching the men and woman dance and get drunk. He however had a dark look on his face looking at her parents. They wanted to leave the Manor and take his Beloved from him. He had made sure one way or another they die tonight. He was deep in thought when he felt a cool gentle hand in his. He turned his head slowly, his dark look changed to that of warmth and love.


"My sweet,there you are I was beginning to worry about you." He said. He stood and bowed kissing her hand.


"May I have this dance?" He asked her. He had told her about poisoning her parents she had not said no. He said he never lie or keep a secret from her again. She was almost as sadistic in ways as he was,but that was part of being that type of monster. Vlad kissed her hand and lead her to the dance floor as the music changed to Victoria's favorite music and waltz. He moved her around the floor with grace and elegance.


"Have I told you how Radiant you look tonight. I mean you always look Radiant and beautiful,but tonight especially, you seem to be glowing." He said as they danced"You My Night Flower are so stunningly beautiful." He said. He spun her out and back into his embrace. He spoke a small poem as he danced with her.


" I gazed in your eyes,


Such a beautiful blue;


My heart whispered to me,


And that’s right when I knew;


The waves had ceased crashing,


On the sand at our feet;


Time had stopped passing,


My search was complete;


I finally discovered,


What I'd known all along;


A mystery uncovered,


That just couldn't be wrong;


It wasn't our first kiss,


Nor' the day that we met;


But I realized something,


I will never forget;


With the stars shining brightly,


From high up above;


I'd one word to describe it,


That word, is love.


I knew then these feelings,


For my sweetheart were true;


The woman of my dreams,


And my soulmate, is you.


I think of it every time,


That I look at the stars;


This memory is mine,


But that moment was


OURS." He recited what he had wrote for her.

Victoria looked at him as he addressed the crowd. She was staring at the blood, all of it pooled on the ground. She looked at her parents who, looked less then satisfied at the whole ordeal. She knew her sibilings however, were on her side. Especially her younger sister, they were so close age wse that they were like twins. She had expressed that she did not like Dragos either. When Vlad extended the invitation for her family to live with them she knew he had a motive behind it. She watched as the servants hauled of the body, and she looked at Dragos's parents. They didn't say a word, it seemed like they were afraid of him. She found herself being led out side by Vlad. The warm breeze blowing through the garden, and the smell of the blood left her. She was free from its spell, she was truly happy.


Over the next 5 years she spent every moment she could with him. Much to her parents disapproval, who were insisting they return the family home. Her brother was living there with his wife, they agreed someone had to stay at the family home. She had attend more balls in the 5 years that had passed then, her entire life before meeting Vlad. She was kept well fed, and never had to worry about going hungry. She was showered with more gifts and poems. She had never thought becoming a monster would led her to this life. She had gotten used to the smell and sight of blood, with the constant stream of enemies being impaled outside the manor. She could go on about her day without giving into its smell and charm. She had even taken up watching Vlad kill his enemies. It was something she enjoyed, becoming more true to her nature. She had dual personality that developed, she was like her old self around her family and then, around Vlad she had become very loving and slightly sadistic. She remembered one night she let her true nature show to her parents. It was when Vlad was busy with the council and they tried to sneak her out of the castle. She didn't want anything to do with it and had yelled for him. After that she noticed her parents slowly declining in health. She had her suspicions as to what was going on.


She walked into the ballroom of yet another party. She liked them, she felt like it was a never ending dream. She had been tardy due to her dress ripping on her. She walked over to Vlad who looked less than happy at the moment. She knew it was because of her parents, more specifically her father. She grabbed his hand and his expression turned to the one she knew.


"I am sorry my love. My dress ripped and I had to fix it."


She smiled at him when he asked her to dance.


"of course my love."


She glanced at her parent's who looked like they had one foot in the grave. She had not objected the poisoning of her parents, she just asked that her siblings be left alone. They had led better lives since their parents were basically locked up in the manor. She blushed slightly as he told her she looked exceptional radiant tonight.


"Not as good as you look tonight my handsome knight."


She got lost in the words of his poem as he danced with her. She still was amazed that such a man could speak such sweet words. As they danced the world faded and felt like they were the only two people in the room. After he finished she looked at him.


"My love, you always know how to treat me. I do love you so."


She leaned in and kissed him. Suddenly someone called for her.


'Lady Dimitru!'


She looked at a guest who was running towards her. She moved away from Vlad and looked at the man that was calling her.


"Yes?"


She wondered what was going on.


'It's your mother, she has....My lady I am so sorry but, she has died! and you father is hysterical, he does not look too good as well.'


She looked at Vlad, his plan was working. She looked over to where her parents were sitting and saw her father yelling at the corpse of her mother.
 
Vlad had heard Victoria's screams just before the night of the ball. Her parents had tried to take her away. He had cut the meeting short and was not happy to find them trying to take His Night Flower away. He escorted Victoria back inside after giving her parents a look. That if looks could kill they be petrified. He had been sitting tapping his fingers trying not to get up and just rip her parents throats out. He was a cruel sadistic man. War had changed him. How ever so had Victoria, his cold heart would only thaw for her and her alone. She was his heart and Love. If she was taken from him it would be like ripping his heart out and setting off a bomb and the monster inside would be released. Her grabbing his hand drew him from his dark place. His features lighting up. She explained why she was late, he didn't care as long as she was here and he could hold her. His gaze never left her as he danced holding her he held her close and quietly spoke his poem to her. He had agreed to leave her siblings out of being poisoned,but he would not be swayed to turn them. They die a normal human death. He smirked as she said He looked better then her he shook his head.


"Not possible my beautiful Night Flower." He said"Ahhh of course I know how to treat a Queen and I love you so." He moved a hand to her mid back and one in her hair as he kissed her. He pulled back when someone called her. He still kept an arm around her till she moved away. He stood with his hands behind his back. He heard the news and kept a straight face he turned to Victoria since they were in public he had to show some sort of remorse as to not raise suspicion."My love I am so sorry." He said. He walked over and pulled her into a hug he moved her head to his shoulder. He looked like he was whispering words of comfort when he was actually saying."my love to not attract suspicion you must be upset on my shoulder." He says and kissed her cheek. He heard the gasps as Victoria's father soon died as well Vlad hid his smirk into her hair as his arms wrapped around her in a comforting way. He knew she was not sad to see her parents dead or she wouldn't have allowed the poisoning. He had so much blood on his hands they started to call him Dracula. That is where the rumors and story of Dracula started. The servants dragged the bodies out of the grand hall. Vlad lead Victoria our to the hall. He gently pushed her to the wall kissing her,his spirits soaring. He kissed down her neck and up to her lips again. He let out a low growl of satisfaction as he kissed her. He finally pulled away only to put his forehead on hers.


"My beautiful beautiful beautiful Love. I must ask you to be ready and in something festive for tomorrow. For I have something special planned. I will announce the funeral was this evening and then tomorrow I have something for you. I have your dress in your room and the servants will help bathe you tonight. Now may I take my radiant night flower to my room and give her all my love or does she still wish to wait. That I can do I just want you happy."Vlad said he moved his head and kissed her hand her wrist all the way up to her neck and Jaw bone. His hands caressing her body gently. He was still a gentle man about it,but he couldn't stay away from her his eye's watched her as he ran his hands along her back and sides.


DeathToAllBetrayers
 
Victoria kept a state of shock look until Vlad pulled her closer. She spoke to the man that had shared the news.


"Write....write my siblings informing them of this."


The man nodded and ran off, she felt Vlad pull her closer. She agreed, she did need to show something other than shock. So to make herself cry, she imagined that she had actually married Dragos. That made her cry, she let herself relax a bit as she heard the gasps. She knew that meant her father had passed. Now Vlad had killed 3 people for her. She didn't know what would happen if people found out, there would surely be a riot. She let herself be led out of the ballroom. She heard whispers from the crowd. Mostly saying how cruel fate had been to loose both of her parents at one time, a few saying it was rather suspicious. She made sure to still look upset by the whole ordeal. She didn't want the cover to be blown she could not imagine losing him. Once they were out sight she found herself against a wall. Vlad was kissing her, as he kissed her neck she felt her spine tingle. Her muscles tightened as he did that. It was euphoric in a way, she had never been handled this way before. Her adrenaline was pumping, she was free from her parents and now he was teasing her. She could barely handle it, she tried to calm her breathing when he spoke to her. Apparently he had something special planned for her. She looked at him.


"Something special?"


She was curious as to what it was. She didn't think it was any sort of important date tomorrow. She couldn't believe what he asked her as he was caressing her bod. He wanted to take her to his room.


Should...I...


Half of her was saying yes, the other said no. She was torn between manners and want. She looked at him as kissed her and caressed her. She could barely stand it, she wanted to scream yes. But, still she wanted to say no. There was none holding her back anymore, her parents were gone, she had convinced her parents to leave her brother the land. She had no social obligations to keep. She could give herself fully to him. But, part of her didn't agree with that, it wanted to make him wait longer. She had the internal battle and, decided she was going to give herself to him. She knew they were not married, she knew she made him wait a month to kiss her on the lips. But she wanted to show her love as well. With no one to be upset by it she gave him her final answer.


"Yes my, love. Now, that no one holds me back....I am yours..."


She felt completely happy about this decision. They may not be married yet, but that would come when the time was right. Perhaps when the last of her siblings passed and she became a distant memory to the Dimitru line.
 
Vlad just kissed and ran his hands a long her as he held her against the wall awaiting her reply. His lips hungered for her as did his own mind and body. He breathed and smiled as he watched her debate in that beautiful head if hers he wouldn't be angry if she said No. He understood formalities had to be taken. They weren't married yet,but he would marry her no one would take her from his grasp. When she gave her answer of yes. He let a content and happy growl rip from his chest and up to his throat. His toned arms picked her up the same way they had when she passed out. He kissed her on the lips and his way up to his room in seconds using his impeccable speed. He gently set her down and closed the door. He moved behind her and kissed along her neck as he slowly and gently undid her dress. His lips slowly moved against her skin he spoke softly.


" Sweet flower, song of my heart,


Hold my hand, as this journey we start.


Lift me up in spirit of joy and gladness;


And shield my soul from heartbreak and sadness.


Steadfast, honest and true;


Your partner is here and will forever love you.


It is my prayer that I will always be;


The one who brings you joy and sets your spirit free.


With my love I’ll cover you and warm your soul with mine;


Give you pleasures – like none you will find.


Your Sweet flower, song of your heart;


Will love you forever, together or apart.


So hear me Sweet flower, and know in your soul;


That there is no better future than with you to grow old.


Endless caresses, touches and kisses;


Our passion a banner for our love’s true existence.


My hand I extend and my honor I offer;


For being with you my love, there is no greater pleasure." He said. He had written her poetry and banked some so his lips would recite them into her perfect pale skin. He had finished an lacing her corset and gently removing her dress from her body. He slowly turned her around and moved her gently for the bed. He had removed his sword and armor all that remained were his pants. His scars and toned muscles showed in the fire light. But even his pants were not long on.


...........


Vlad held Victoria close to him, the sheets in his bed covering both of them. He kissed her gently as her head rested on his toned arm.


"Are you alright beautiful?" He asked her as he kissed her neck gently. His hands traced her bare arms in a gentle manor. The same hands that had killed many men,but with her were gentle and loving. His touch with her was always loving even when they made love he had been very gentle with her. He smiled and watched her gently, his hand cupped her face. He ran a soft thumb over cheek,"My beautiful Queen. I love you." He said to her. He pulled her in for another kiss, his lips trailing down her neck to her wrist again. She ignited a fire in him that only she could do. He was love struck by her and it wasn't going away. He could not wait for the Blood bond they create on there wedding night. Which would bind them together forever. His lips against her wrists spoke gently.


" Your lips, your eyes, your soul


Are like a work of art,


The most creative thing of all


Is your beautiful heart.


If you were a painting,


No colours could express


The beauty deep inside you,


A rainbow, nothing less.


If you were a sculpture


The clay could hardly make


Your figure of an angel


Without one mistake.


If you were a euphony


No choir could really sing


All the beautiful music


Your eyes could possibly bring.


So here I am, an artist,


With inspiration beyond belief


But to capture such rare beauty,


I'd have to be a thief." He mumbled between kisses. He felt like even his poetry was to inadequate for her. He told her one more as he kissed up to her lips again.


" You and I are connected


in a way that goes beyond romance,


beyond friendship,


beyond what we've ever had before.


It has defied time, distance,


and changes in ourselves


and in our lives.


It has defied every explanation.


Except one:


Pure and simply, we're soul mates.


I can't explain, I just feel it.


It's there in the way my spirits lift


whenever we talk.


The sound of your voice brings me home,


in a way I can't explain.


It's in the delight I feel, when we laugh


at exactly the same things.


When I'm with you,


it's like a tiny piece of the universe


shifts into place.


A place it's supposed to be,


and all is right with the world.


These things and so many more,


have made me understand


that this is a once in a lifetime,


forever connection.


A connection that could only exist


between you and me.


And deep in my soul,


I know that our relationship


is a rare gift.


One that brings us


extraordinary happiness


all through our lives." He finally finished on her lips with one last kiss. He sighed pulling only slightly away to look at her. He traced her lips and cheeks gently. He smiled and watched her through pure deep blue eye's. Love clear in his eye's and face. All they had to do was wait for the sun to rise and he give her a wonderful marvelous day.


DeathToAllBetrayers
 
Victoria was nervous, her parents kept her pure since, it was one of the few church things they could enforce. She heard the growl from him as he picked her up. She didn't know what to expect, she embraced the kiss as he took her to his room. She could have sworn his room was further away. She found herself standing in his room, she was nervous. Yet, as he kissed her she felt incredibly calm. She tried to calm her self but, it failed miserably as she gave into the moment. She listened to his poem, she was so lost in the words that she did not realize he was undoing her dress and corset.


"mmm my love, you always know the right words to sweep me off my feet."


As he removed her dress her would see her scarred right arm.For the first time she was not self conscious of her arm. It looked as if someone had run their claws up her arm. There was also an unmistakable bite mark on her upper wrist. The scars and mark were from the incident when she was turned 15 years ago. She watched him as he removed his everything except his pants, she could see his scars in the light of the flames. He never realized how toned he was, she always felt his muscles when he held her. There was no mistaking he was solider. She tried to calm her self again as he took her to bed.


------------


She rested her head on his arm, as he held her close. She looked up at him as he asked if she is all right.


"Yes my love, in fact I don't think I have ever felt this good before."


He was very gentle with her, even for a man who had killed her former fiancé and impaled many people. Every part of the nigh so far he had handled her like a fragile object that break if handled too roughly. She did not object. She was growing tired though, she felt safe and very comfortable in his arms.


"I love you too my handsome knight."


She embraced the kiss and that tingle in her spine returned as he kissed her neck again. She didn't want to leave him, she just could not see herself with anyone else. She wondered what marriage between creatures like them was like. She was sure it was something very special. She leaned closer to him when he recited more poetry. This moment is what she loved, he had recited poetry to her in other places. But, here in his room it felt more intimate and special. She smiled at his art one, especially when he said he would have to be a thief to such a beauty as her. She looked in to his eyes as he told her the second poem. He captured her feelings for him in it as well. She truly thought they were soul mates. Fate worked with destiny and dealt odd cards to bring them together. She thought fate would always be cruel to her after she was turned. She lost herself in his words that she could barely keep herself awake.


"I love you more than words can describe my knight."


She looked at him with love in her eyes as well.


"If I am not being to intrusive. I would be very happy if I could stay in room from now on. I think I would be lonely if I had to stay...stay in my room..."


She gave into the sandman's spell and drifted asleep.
 
Vlad sighed with a small smile."My bed is yours my Night Flower. Sleep well." He said kissing her gently. He watched her sleep before he too closed his eye's.


First morning light hit his skin and eye lids. He opened his eyes gently, his arm laying over Victoria's sleeping form. With a soft exhale of breath he pulled her close. He had the servants bring them a full goblet of blood, for the morning. He slowly kissed her lips and neck to wake her. When she woke he pulled her to him,


"I could use to waking up next to this beauty every day." He said and kissed her on the lips. He slowly pulled away and handed her a goblet of blood. He drank his down greedily. He loved the taste more then food. He slowly got up and handed her a robe. He lead her to the bathing room. Where the servants had put in hot water. He dropped his robe and got in the water he helped her in. His hands traveling over her skin he noticed her scars last night, he knew what it was like to have a feeding frenzy go wrong. He kissed each scar with care. He promised nothing hurt her like that ever again. Vlad gently washed her body and hair. His touch was loving and never mean towards her. He kissed her when they got out. He bowed to her.


"I will let you get dressed." He said."I hope you like the dress I had made for you." He said. Vlad left her to be dressed by his servants. He went to dress himself he put a black cloak on over his armor he almost always wore. It was flexible and not metal. He made his way to his Balcony and looked out over the town. He smirked and turned, he made his way down to the dinning room. He sat and the servants said someone was here to see him he took a bite from an apple and to send them in. The man had been caught stealing from one of his knights."Hang him."Vlad said."No leave him in the dungeon will drain him later."Vlad said. He waited on Victoria his mind slightly clouded as he waited on her he played with his son ring. When she entered he stood and bowed to her.


"Come my sweet,my don't we look Ravishing."He compliments her. He takes her to spend the day in the town. He shows her many different aspects of life outside the manor. They rode horse's through the forest to a clearing with a water fall. Vlad helped her down from the horse and walked her to the river side. He set her on a rock gently and knelt in front of her holding her hand.


"Victoria my love. This is my favorite place in the world and I wish to share every aspect of my life with you." Vlad sighed licking his lips.


" I’ve never known a love like yours


Nor thought it could be true,


But every time I kiss your lips


I feel what love can do


With hair like silk


And lips so tender,


Each moment with you


Makes my heart surrender


I couldn’t live, I couldn’t breathe


Without you by my side,


Never will I let you go,


My love will never hide


And in my heart you’ll always be


From now until forever,


No matter what, no matter where


We’ll always be together.


I guess what I am trying to say is hell I love you Victoria Dimitru and I want nothing more then to have you as my wife. Would you do me the honor of marrying me. Your most humble servant, doesn't have to be right away, I will be engaged with you until you give the okay to say were married. I wish nothing more then to be your one and only betrothed,from here out."He said and looked at her. He had pulled out a beautiful sapphire ring it was also a sunlight ring. She would never have to take it off.


DeathToAllBetrayers
 
Victoria slept very well that night. She could get used to falling asleep in the arms of her lover. She woke up to the feeling of him kissing her, she thought last night was a dream. She was glad it wasn't and she had indeed spent the night with her lover. She opened her eyes to see Vlad.


"Mmm, good morning my handsome knight."


She sat up a little bit when he handed her the goblet of blood. She sipped it as she watched Vlad gulp his down. She assumed the love for blood came with time, it made her smile as she finished hers. She took the robe from him and wrapped it around her. She followed him to the bathing room losing the robe and got into the bath with him. The warm water felt good on her skin, she didn't away slightly when he touched her scars. She didn't feel judged but, she felt like she would only feel that way around him. She knew that he would never let whatever happened that day, happen to her again. After being bathed by him she stepped out the tub. She embraced the kiss and smiled at him when he bowed to her.


"Thank you my love. and I am sure I will love it since you choose it."


She looked at the dress it was a gorgeous black and red dress. She put it on and was assisted in getting laced in. She let her hair flow freely today. She stepped out to see Vlad had already gone downstairs. She made her way when she spotted him in the dinning room. She slowly walked in.


"You look very handsome yourself my love."


She enjoyed the horse ride through town, she honestly had never really been to town so she was happy to actually see it. She listened attentively as he pointed out different things. She loved especially the ride through the forest, she loved spending time outside. It was rare though because of what she was. She gasped as he brought her to their end destination.


"It is gorgeous my love."


She looked down to see him kneeling in front of her. She listened to his poem and smiled when he just admitted his feelings for her.


"My love I will marry you, once my siblings pass."


She did that so, they could keep telling their kids she was dead. If a Victoria Dimitru passed after all her siblings died their kids would not get suspicious. She looked at the ring he presented her. It was gorgeous and she never wanted to take it off.


"Oh love it is gorgeous!"


She slipped it on and leaned in for a kiss.


--------------------------------


6 years later, Victoria was sitting the dinning room of the manor. Vlad was off in a meeting and she was busying her self with some sewing. The ring Vlad had given her was still on her finger, since it was also a sun ring she kept it on all the time. Not that she wanted to remove it anyways. She was minding her own business when one of the servants approached her.


'A letter for my lady.'


She took the envelope.


"Thank you."


She looked at the letter and she had re read it.


Dear Lady Victoria,


I regret to inform you that my wife, Sabine, passed away last night while trying to berth our 5th child. She is to be entombed today at Dimitru family vault along with our unnamed son.



Darius.



She couldn't believe it, Sabine was gone. They were close in age and they acted like they were twins. She looked up at the servant.


"Prepare my horse."


'my lady I..'


"I don't care, prepare my horse now."


She stood up as the servant ran out, she grabbed her riding cloak and headed out to the stables. She did not inform Vlad of where she was going. he was busy and did not want to bother him. She grabbed her horse once it was ready. The servant helped her up.


"Tell the Lord I have gone to the cemetery outside of town."


He bowed to her as she kicked her horse and galloped off. She still wanted it to be a false rumor that her sister had passed. She had left the note that she received on the table. She looked as she approached the cemetery. She was unaware that, she could not step foot onto the grounds. She pulled on the reigns as she brought the horse to a stop. She pulled her hood over her head to hide her face. She quickly dismounted as she saw the line of mourners. She recognized her younger brother, like the agreement they had made he didn't look at her. She didn't exist to the rest of the Dimitrus. She slowly walked towards the grounds when she put on foot on the concreted ground. An unnerving burring pain suddenly shot through her leg as she collapsed. Everything was fuzzy to her as she called out for her love.


"Vlad...Vlad my love...."


She felt the burning pain travel through her body.


"Vlad..help..."
 
Vlad had been stuck in more meetings as of late. He sat in the dinning hall bored out of his skull as he listened to these brain dead fools drone on and on. He was playing with his goblet. He laughed as a man said something against the other fools. A man he had not seen in a long time. As he raised cup to his lips he gave him an ever slight nod. If he had truly been concentrating he would of hear his betrothed leaving the Manor. He was laughing with his former friend. Everyone else had gone. A servant walked in and bowed to him.


"Sire Lady Dimitru has gone to the cemetery to visit her sister's grave." He said. Vlad stood the chair falling.


"Why did you not stop her nore tell me earlier." He snapped. He stood and nods to his friend."Get Damarius my old friend here a room. And I would leave him alone I can't guarantee he will restrict himself as I would now go." Vlad stood.


He didn't even ask for his horse. He used his bat travel. He could turn into a million bats on command he swarmed to his love. When he had found this power out he was very surprised and kinda freaked him out at first now it was like traveling on horse back. His form came together as he made his way to the grave yard. He ignored the stares he got. He was looking for her. Vlad spotted her almost as if in a frozen out cry of pain. He moved to her side.


"Victoria,my Night Flower." He moved her away from the holy ground his cloak going over her body to hide them. He laid her in his arms. Her head limp and rolled in his arms.


"My sweet flower?"he asked and hoisted her up into his arms. He got on her horse holding her and rode away as quickly as the quadruped could take them. Once back he hoped off the horse.


Boy grab me two goblet one empty on full of blood, and a knife go now." He said. Vlad brought her up to his room and laid her gently in the bed. He fixed her head on the pillow and caressed her cheek gently. When the boy brought what he asked he drank down the blood as fast as lighting it was so good. So tangy yet sweet, he use the knife to cut his hand and bleed into the empty goblet. His had heeled up and took the goblet and lifted her head gently as he ran it under her nose.


"Come on Beautiful." He begged her."please I can't live with out you in my life." He muttered. He poured the goblet gently down her throat once it was gone. He held her close and whispered into her hair.


"My sweet love please I promised to protect you."he said. He laid her back gently and knelt at her bed side his hands clasped around hers. Maybe he had been to late. He hung his head as he kissed her hand, he stayed statue like till there was movement from her. At first dawn's break he felt her stir underneath his statue like form. He turned his head.


"My Sweet Night Flower?" He said. He sat on his bed next to her and pulled her upper body into his arms. He buried his face into her neck,"oh my love." He said as he clung to her wrapping her in his toned arms. He whispered into her skin as he kissed her neck gently.


"I thought I taught you we can not step on to holy ground beautiful. I am sorry I should have taught you more about out kind."he said."This is my fault I been so busy lately I forgot to take time to keep teaching you."he said."Please forgive me."he said into her skin. His lips finally made it to hers and he kissed her just holding her. It didn't matter that he was tired. It mattered that she was okay.


DeathToAllBetrayers
 
Victoria did not remember much after the searing pain. She felt like she was in a dream in fact, she was. She was back in the forest and was watching her 15 year old self. She was watching her and siblings play when her younger self looked in the direction of singing. It echoed through the forest. She walked towards the source.


I don't remember anyone singing.


She tried to walk to the source of the singing but, was met with the same empty abyss she saw that day.


Damn....but that was a good detail to remember...


She waited for the abyss to turn into something again when it did. She was standing outside of the window to the family home, it was the day after she had been found. She watched as her parents cleaned the wounds that were now scars on her arm. She looked as dawn broke, turning her attention back to the scene in the room. As the light spilled in she could feel the pain of the sunlight on her skin.


Ahh! Ah! Why...Why does this hurt??


She looked around as landscape melted. She was so confused by it, it was like those two moments were important.


I don't get this.. Why did I was I shown these....


Back in reality, Victoria she stirred slightly opening her eyes. She was in Vlad's room. She didn't remember how she got her, she was sure she was just at the graveyard. Her leg still hurt but, the rest of her body felt fine. She suddenly found herself wrapped in Vlad's arm. She slowly wrapped her arms around him. She wondered how long she had been out, more importantly she was worried about Vlad, he seemed drained. She tried to hold back her emotions, her best friend and sister was dead and she had almost died. She tried her best to reassure him that it was her fault for being injured.


"My love, it was...my fault I did not...know cemeteries were holy ground."


She spoke in a softer voice than usual, she took quite a blow from her mistake.


"You have done so much for me...I should have told you where...I was going I was just..."


She felt a tear roll down her cheek.


"So upset that...Sabine passed so suddenly."


She felt bad that he was so upset, she wanted to reassure him anyone she could.


"I forgive you...I just hope you can forgive me for leaving...without telling you."


She embraced the kiss, she knew her being alive brought him comfort. Her mind drifted to the singing she remembered from the vision. She made a mental note to write her younger brother about it. Even though they acted like the other did not exist when they encountered each other in person. They still talked via letters.


"I am sorry for worrying you love. I promise...I will never leave without telling you."


She would keep that promise no matter what.
 
Vlad just clung to her like a boy to his mother. He kept his head buried into the crook of her neck. He breathed in her scent and just sighed.


"Nothing to forgive" He mumbled. He just leaned into her his arms gently around her, yet they were firm and warm. He slowly laid her down for a minute then scooped her up gently and took her to the bathing room. He undressed her with out even setting her down. He finally placed her in the warm water.


"The water should help soothe your leg along with my blood working through your system."He said tiredly his looked black instead of his normal blue. He bathed her gently from the side of the tub. His hand lightly trailing over her body. He would stop on her scars and kiss them. When he was done he helped dry her off and carried her to bed. He laid her down covering her in his sheets.


"Rest my Beautiful Night Flower."He said. Vlad himself finally got ready and slipped under the covers next to her. He nuzzled into her skin and closed his eye's. Vlad finally fell into his dreamless sleep he always did. Nothing but darkness like his heart.


Over the next 2 decades he waited patiently to marry her. All her siblings finally passed. He thanked the stars when they did. It had almost been a century since the day he impaled Drago's. He had to move them from the Manor and return in a few decades. It was time to return to the Manor as Vladimir Westchester instead of by his real name. He had Victoria take his last name They were now to be wed in there Manor in there rose garden. They finally make the blood bond. The most powerful thing between the two if there kind. They hadn't aged a day since they left. A big party yo celebrate there marriage and a new master in the land was to be set up for when they got there. Vlad sat back in the carriage his hand in Victoria's.


"Welcome Home my Queen and soon to be wife." He said kissing her hand. Some of his very old friends actually were meeting them there. Lord Damarius, Lady Samara, Lord Uther, Sir Kay, and Lady Helena. All come back to see Vlad Marry the woman he had been courting for over a century. How ever Lady Samara and Lord Damarius had there eye's set on the betrothed. Damarius on Victoria and Samara on Vlad. They devised a plan to take Victoria and entertain Vlad till the could get Victoria far away from Vlad for if he caught them. He would burn them where they stood.
