The aura around the castle has changed since the war with the mortals ended, especially with the arrival of Elizabeth. The halls are filled with laughter and joy from the little one's parents and older brother.

"Put her down. If you keep on holding her she's going to get accustomed to it." Katherine giggled as her husband kept on holding Katherine over her crib.

"She needs to be held."

"Mhm." Katherine rolls her eyes takes her daughter from his arms, and places her down gently.

"Sleep, sweetheart."

Katherine leans in kissing her cheek and turns to her husband who wants to hold her again.

"Come on, we need to head to bed."

"But what if she-"

"If she cries then we take turns to help her." Katherine drags her husband by his hand to their bedroom and giggles very quickly fill their room.

"Stop-fuck!" Katherine yelped as Dracula bit her neck, softly.

"Shh, Alucruad and his friends are sleeping."

Katherine covered her mouth holding in any moan that wished to leave her lips. However, all of a sudden she feels a strange feeling. A feeling of worry for her daughter.

"Stop," She asked her husband as he kept kissing her.

"Dracula, stop." 

She pushed her husband away and got up wrapping herself in her robe.

"Did I hurt you?"

"No, I just want to check on Elizabeth."

"And you call me, over obsessor." He chuckles as his wife leaves their bedroom.

Katherine runs to her nursery and enters finding a man in all black holding a knife over Elizabeth's crib.

"NO!" She yelled out making the man turn to her.

Katherine apprehends the man and disarms him of the knife. She's thrown to the floor and pulls onto the man's arm as he tries to grab a crying Elizabeth.

All of a sudden the man is pinned to the wall by Dracula, and Katherine runs to her daughter's crib. Issac, along with, Alucruad and his friends rushed into the little one's nursery completely confused.

"Who sent you?!" Dracula demanded to know from the men who attempted to kill his daughter.

"F-Fuck you!" He spits out before Dracula punches him in the stomach and throws him to the ground. The man spits out blood and as he looks up Alucruad steps on his hand breaking it in the process.

"I'll ask you what my father told you. Who sends you to kill my sister?"

The man turns to baby Elizabeth as her mother cradles her in her arms.

"I won't tell you shit!" 

Dracula lifts the man and turns to Issac as he hands him a knife. Katherine covers her daughter's ears knowing the men's screams would fill the nursery. Her husband plunges the knife into the vampire's right eye drawing blood and curling screams.

"WHO SENT YOU?!"

"CARMILLA! CARMILLA! SHE SENT ME TO KILL THE BABY!" Everyone's eyes widen and Dracula turns to a tearful Katherine as she held their daughter tightly in her arms.

"S-She also sent the Belmont for the other one," The vampire chokes out in his blood before Dracula twists his head.

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

Katherine held little Elizabeth tightly in her arms. Her husband turned and fear radiated off of her as she held their child.

"Elizabeth's crib will be moved to our bedroom. As for the one who attempted to kill my daughter, make sure to send Carmilla a present." Dracula growled as he walked to his scared wife.

"Father."

Dracula turns to Alucruad and senses his worry for his sister but also anger.

"Carmilla, was once here when she served you, wasn't she?"

"Yes." Dracula nods.

"That means she knows every hall, room, floor, wall, and corner around this place. She knew another way in since the assassin she sent got in. Not to mention, that she knows Katherine very well. Far more than we ever understand her." Alucruad points out to his father who hadn't even thought of all this. His wife lived with her for over a decade, and they were close friends. Also, he completely disregarded the fact that he once welcomed her and Trevor into his home.

Dracula turns to his frightened wife and turns back to his son.

"Right now, let's just allow her to take it easy. She's scared, right now."

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

"She's just fine," Dracula whispered to his wife as they looked at a sleeping Elizabeth.

He kissed her naked shoulder as he held the sheets covering her body tightly around her.

"How could she do this to me?" Katherine tears up turning to her husband and snuggling into his chest as his hands sothed her back.

"She knew how much the baby meant to me."

Dracula kisses her forehead holding her tightly in his arms, as he looks at their daughter sleeping peacefully.

"I swear to you I will avenge our child and make sure she's not left unpunished." He whispers softly kissing his wife and allowing her rest in his arms as he kept his eye on their baby girl.
