My head was pounding and I felt like I had a long afternoon nap. I was groggy and pissy. I sat up and placed my head in my hands, I groaned and said to myself
"You really gotta stop passing out."
"Good evening blood sucker, you know you should really work on the whole passing out thing."
I could hear the humor in Lucas' voice so I glared at him.
"Awww what's wrong? Head hurt?"
I gave him the finger and grunted
"What happened?"
He came over and sat on the bed, all the humor gone from his face. He studied me for a moment before explaining what happened.
"Well let's see....you attacked Juliet after she made a pass at me, which was fucking hot by the way, and it seemed as if she sparked your inner vamp because you would have drained her if your father hadn't stepped in. He used a lot of power to get you to stop. As drained as he was he had a look of a proud father. I carried you back to "our" room and here we are. I'm sure your father will be along shortly."
He took my hand and rubbed circles along my knuckles calming me with his touch.
"I feel different. Not groggy from blacking out but different on the inside."
His heavy sigh made me pick my head up to look into his eyes.
"I'm sure your father will explain it better but I think that is the blood lust. Or blood fever, or whatever you want to call it. It's the first time you have ever used your Vampyr capabilities and ingested another's blood. Your bound to feel different after something like that."
I sighed myself and fell back into the pillows.
"Why me? Why couldn't I have been normal? Way to much has happened these past few months. I was just getting accustomed to being a Lycan and controlling those powers and now this. Also I don't think I want to drink anyone......ugggggg."
I felt like flailing my arms and legs and shouting, just a good old fashioned temper tantrum. Lucas laid next to me and took me into his arms, kissing the top of my head and filling my nose with his scent. I felt myself begin to calm and then a knock on the door.
I felt myself tense and Lucas rubbed my back calming me once more.
"Come in Rowan, she's up."
We both sat up and watched as my father gracefully entered the room. The man was incredible, his posture was perfect, his movements flawless. And he was a very good looking man, I can see why my mother was attracted to him.
"How are you feeling?"
His voice was husky, calm, and he spoke without haste. I guess when you are immortal haste is not needed.
"Different and groggy......what is going on?"
His smile was beautiful but it didn't reach his eyes. He grabbed a chair from the vanity and sat next to the bed, never taking his eyes off of me. Lucas sighed and went to get out of the bed.
"Stay Lucas, she will feel safer with you here. Besides you will keep her calm. Her powers are extraordinary and I'd like to not have to use mine again on her."
Lucas nodded and sat back down taking my hand. The whole time he spoke to Lucas my fathers eyes were on me, studying, drinking me in. It was a little uncomfortable. He smiled again showing his fangs and canines and spoke
"What happened my child is your breeding showing through. Never before have you been around Vampyr. At the fort you trained with other Lycan, Tristan and a few elders were Vampyr but they contain themselves so not to influence or set off anyone else. Vampyr have an allure, that is how they get their victims or those they change. Here no one is inhibited. Ever since you arrived the Vampyr side of you has been active, feeding off the openness and powers of the others. Add that to your Lycan powers and what happened is they speak to each other. I'm sure your "wolf/Lycan" Dana was discussing yesterday's event with what seemed like another voice in your head?"
I scrunched my face remembering that conversation, it was like my voice but it wasn't, but Dana didn't flinch or have any problem with communicating.
"Yes but it wasn't another voice was it?"
He chuckled and shook his head no
"No Dahlia it was not. The Vampyr side of you is deeply connected to you. It was your voice but I'm sure it sounded different. That's because you were no longer inhibited. I'm sure if you look inside you will see yourself staring back at you, but you will be different. And it's not only on the inside, your outer appearance has and will continue to change as well."
I turned to look at Lucas who nodded and smiled at me, mind linking me
"Don't worry, you're just as beautiful if not more. Now you have another pull to you.....it's been rather hard to keep Lars from attacking you and devouring you. "
I blushed and he chuckled, my father smiled at us both and brought his attention to Lucas.
"You will both be staying for awhile. She needs to learn to control both of her sides and the powers that come with it. I also need you to help find my mother. I'm sure she's flaunting a new female body around somewhere."
Disgust dropped from his words but ice poured it self into me.
"She isn't in a female body, she has chosen a male one, I couldn't see the face, I think she is looking for me."
My father stood up so quick that I flinched but before I could say anything else he hand his palms on the sides of my head. I felt his power pierce into my skull for a brief moment and before I could scream in pain, the pain was gone and I stood beside my father in my dreamscape. We watched together what I had dreamed nights ago, his hand clasped mind and squeezed. Suddenly I felt safe and secure and my dream not so scary.
"Focus daughter, dim the light coming from the eyes, try to see the face "
I nodded and focused on the naked male in front of me. The smile gone as he stared at me, the lights from the eyes dimmed and I saw what looked to be Asian features. But then he started to walk towards me with his hand beckoning me to come to him. A disgusting smile splitting his face. I took a step back and my father wrapped his arms around me causing the male figure to scream at him, and then we were back in the room. My father let go of my face and grabbed Lucas'. I watched in awe as Lucas' face went blank his eyes glassy, the same look upon my fathers face. What felt like forever passed before they broke contact and Lucas didn't seem stunned or anything, he must have done this numerous times before.
"I will stay by her side, we have to spread his face to the others. If your mother has decided to take over a male body Dahlia is in danger. I'd like Bart to stay with her as well. I trust him more than anyone else here."
My father nodded and walked to the door, he stopped and looked at me with a smile that reached his eyes this time.
"I am so glad to have finally met you in person. I would like to dance with you at the festivities. "
And with that he was gone. With all that was going on I forgot about the banquet/ball and I groaned once more falling into the pillows.
"I don't wanna"
I whined causing Lucas to laugh and bring me close to him. We stayed cuddle together, enjoying the silence and comfort .
"Are you truly happy with me Lucas?"
He didn't answer right away which caused my heart to hammer in my chest. When I was about to get pouty he answered
"More than I thought possible. You were annoying at first, even though I was attracted to you. But after everything, yes I am."
