A Sealed Fate (Watty's 2017)

19.

The next morning, the sun shining through the giant windows. Tricia blinked to let her eyes adjust. Vladimir wasn't beside her, but she did wake up in his room. She sat up and pain stabbed her lower region. She gasped and clinched her legs shut. Whimpering softly to herself.

Trying to ignore the pain, she climbed off the king size bed the way a toddler would. She stood and pulled the silky sheets around herself and went to her room. To the private bathroom and taking a hot shower.

Feeling much better after a hot shower she pulled on one of her more favorite sweaters and a pare of jeans. Making her way to breakfast. Vladimir sat reading a book, Victor reading a local news paper. She cleared her throat and the two looked up. Victors nose of course scrunched up the way it did when his brother came in. Vladimir smiled to her as a maid pulled her chair out for her to sit. Tricia cringed as she sat, the pain still there slightly.

Victor eyed her a moment before going back to reading his paper. "You two have a bit of fun last night?" Victor teased, the scent of sex still on Tricia's skin. Vladimir sighed and tried hard to wipe the smile off his face. Tomorrow was Christmas and he got a gift from Tricia that she didn't have to give him. "Don't like it you could always leave." Vladimir grinned causing Tricia to blush red.

Victor shook his head and sighed excusing himself from the table. Vladimir smiled "you feeling ok this morning?" He'd ask his face turning to concern. She took a deep breath and nodded her head. "A bit sore but I'm ok." She'd say as a maid brought her breakfast. Vladimir's jaw flexed and he watched as she ate. "Just for the record I wanted to go slower." She blushed at his words. "Why prolong pain? I heard it hurts when it first enters. So why prolong the inevitable?" She smiled to him. He nodded and sighed. "I had planned to make you mine in that sense. But I wanted to make it a romantic thing." He shrugged. Tricia stood and walked over sitting in his lap. "There's always later." She'd kiss his lips softly.

He smiled and nuzzled her neck, the scent of her blood still had the pure smell it had before. She wasn't a virgin, perhaps maybe it was just her. He licked her neck without thinking about it causing her to moan.

His eyes changed from a brown to a golden flame of color. His fangs lengthened and he opened his mouth to sink them in. When the door burst open and his brother came rushing in. "Vladimir... It's Vincent! He's back and he's pissed." Victor managed to spurt out. Vanessa and Victoria were at the main doors. Holding them shut. "Hurry please" came Victoria crying out.

Vladimir kissed Tricia's neck mumbling something as he stood and excused himself. Victor eyed Tricia strangely and turned to go help his brother.

Vincent kicked the doors open sending Vanessa and Victoria into the staircase. "Where is he?!" He growled his green eyes turned a dark crimson red. Vladimir seemed to appear out of thin air and landed his fist into his brothers face. "It's not fair! You get everything you want, you could have anything you wanted. But no, I couldn't have her!" He growled holding his face. Vladimir eyed his brother. "Just kill me. I can't have Sarah, no she always loved you!" With that he broke down crying

Vladimir took a deep breath in and knelt down to his brother. "Whatever happened to katelyn?" "She... She wanted you to, so I killed her" Vladimir raised an eyebrow. Katelyn couldn't stand being around Vladimir. "Last I heard she wanted me dead." He questioned and caused him to cry again. "No she wanted Sarah dead. So I had Sarah killed. But that wasn't enough. Katelyn she... " Vincent curled up crying. Vladimir growing irritated at his brother sighed before standing up. "You mean to tell me you're the reason Sarah died?" Victor chimed in.

Before he could land a punch in however. Vladimir raised an arm up. "I already knew about that, Victor. What I don't know is why you are so upset, little brother." Vincent looked up at his brother. "Because I... I didn't want to kill Sarah. I wanted to turn her and make her a slave." "Yes moving on." Vladimir sighed. "And that girl... She's Sarah. I wanted my chance with her. But no you had to get her first!" Vincent jumped up and tackled his brothers to the ground.

Little did they seem to realize Tricia was standing in the shadows listening. She felt a little offended to be compared to Sarah. Weither she was her reincarnation or not, was irrelevant.

She stepped out and did a high pitch whistle that made everyone cringe except Victoria. "Stop this. Don't compare me to a dead woman, ok? I'm not Sarah and I never have been. Never will be!" She glared at the three of them. "I chose Vladimir because frankly Vincent you are creepy as hell. You give off the vibe that if I was walking down a dark ally at night alone you'd come out and kill me on a dime." Vincent looked hurt at her words but understood. Vladimir sat up the same time Victor did. "Same goes for Vanessa. If you don't want Victor divorce him. Plain and simple. Victoria is a lot stronger of a child than you will ever be adults." She seemed to growl

"And you, Victor, are an idiot to try and keep her here. I'm sure you two could just ya know. Break up. But otherwise just shut up!" She growled. Vladimir watched her closely afraid almost of her.

"You three are brothers. And you're adults not children. So stop fighting and grow the fück up!" With that she ran up the stairs and left them to their own devices. She ran to her room, climbed into her bed and curled up. Crying softly to herself.

Vladimir sighed and looked between his brothers. He stood and made his way to the bedrooms. He hadn't noticed Victoria had followed Tricia at all. But she sat outside her bedroom door. "She's not happy, I wouldn't bother her." She'd say looking up at her uncle. Vladimir took a deep breath in and sighed sitting next to his niece. "Yeah I don't blame her. This close to the holidays. It should be about family spending time together. Not arguing or fighting."

Victoria leaned her head onto his shoulder and smiled. "I've never seen you or dad fight. It's why we always came here for Christmas." She smiled and giggled, "and I came for the very great gifts you always bought us." He smiled and hugged his niece, placing a soft kiss on her head.

Tricia listened to them talk and began to cry again. She did notice Victor and Vladimir both got along with each other. And she had heard Vincent admit to killing Sarah through the use of the lord. I was twenty eight... Young and beautiful. Oh how I loved him. I am glad he has you. Came a voice in her head. Tricia sat up and looked into the mirror. It was Sarah who reflected back to her. "What happened?" Sarah seemed to take a deep breath in. Vanessa had been turned, but Vladimir couldn't bring himself to turn me. He said it would taint my soul. He didn't wish to taint something so beautiful. He would call me his rose. Because roses were beautiful, if vampire blood or even venom touched a rose it would go from red to black. Sarah smiled as if remembering. "What about Vincent. Why does he want you so badly?" Sarah looked thoughtful and tilted her head. I never did question it myself. I figured he just wasn't happy with katelyn. Every time I had to be around her. She was like a drone. Never was polite and always seemed to be snobby. Sarah shrugged and Tricia wiped tears from her eyes. Still. I'm glad he's found you. Well us, again. You are me but you're the me I wish I was back then. Or rather, I'm your soul. Uh Tricia shook her head at Sarah. Placing a hand on the mirror and Sarah did the same back. "I'm your reincarnation. I'm not meant to be like you." Sarah nodded in agreement. And faded to an image of Tricia. She took a deep breath in and peeked out her curtains. It had gone dark, she went into the private bathroom and started a bath for herself. Cringing in pain when the hot water hit the sensitive nerves in her womanhood. She relaxed as it soothed the pain after a minute or two.
