A Sealed Fate (Watty's 2017)

24. Victor's pov

I gasped for air, vampires weren't supposed to be that fast. I held my side and growled low. "Stupid witch." I mumbled straightening up, I coughed from the cold filling my lungs. I looked around for some sign of Sarah.

"What's so special about that girl, that you could chase me?" Came her voice, I whipped around and growled at her. "Who are you exactly?" She laughed at me. Leaping from the branch she was perched on. She pinned me to a tree and got an inch from me. "My question first." She cooed, and I snarled at her. I felt fire filling my body. What kind of power was this? "Listen, she's human and vampires don't hurt humans. If you're Sarah you know this." I groaned from the pain, and all at once it stopped and I collapsed.

She furrowed her brow, and I can only imagine the cold was getting to her finally. She was still naked. I panted for air watching her. Her body seemed to begin to burst into flames. It started at her legs. She panicked and started swatting at the flames.

And in one swift motion, the fire devoured her body. The echoes of her screams flowed out. I noticed my wife and daughter behind her. Victoria had her hand out. "Stop.. Stop!" I demanded and she did. Sarah collapsed onto her knees and whimpered at her charred skin.

I wrap my coat around her and held her close. Her body healed quickly. "He didn't kill her, he turned her into a different kind of vampire." I say and she looks up at me. "Lord douku..." She repeated his name. And all at once she kissed my lips. I pulled her back and stared at her. "Please, lord douku! These idiots wish to kill me." She began to cry.

I pulled her to my chest, and realized her hair was as white as the snow. Of course it would be. She's been dead since she was twenty eight. Vanessa eyed her, "why are you saving her?" She hissed at me. I sighed. "Vanessa, I need her alive. It's impossible that she's Sarah. Sarah is dead." I told her, I was lying to myself. "Come on, let's go back to the castle. I'm sure Tricia has some cloths that'll fit you." I whispered lifting this girl up easily.

We all walked back to the castle, the girl shivering as I carried her back. "I'm sorry I can't offer you more warmth." I whisper to her. She frowns and begins to cry again. "Lord douku... He was my master, I had ran away from him. He would hold me down and rape me daily." She started, I listened as I started up the steps to the castle. "Sarah wasn't lord douku's slave though." Vanessa said catching up. The girl looked exactly like Sarah. But Vanessa and I knew it couldn't be.

"Take Victoria to bed." I ordered, Vanessa hesitated and looked to our very tired child. "Very well." She'd say and carry our child to her room. I carried this girl to my office. God I can smell them from here. The house wreaked of sex. I sighed and set her on a couch.

"Stay put." I told her, she curled up and laid there. I went to Vladimir's room, and knocked on the door. "Vlad..." I holler through the door, no answer. I open the door and peeked in. They weren't there. I heard laughter from the bathroom, sneaking over I knocked on the door.

"Yes Victor?" Came Vladimir's voice, I opened the door and almost wish I hadn't. I swallowed, "that girl isn't Sarah." Vladimir seemed to tense up. I took a deep breath, last time I mentioned her name out loud. I got my ass handed to me by him.

"You brought her, didn't you." Vladimir snarled, Tricia looked concerned and slightly scared. "Look, I'm telling you it's not her." I gasped as my brother pinned me to the wall, Tricia climbed from the bath, wrapping a towel around herself. For a moment, I swore I could see Sarah. At least her back in the mirror. "Sarah, get him off please." Vladimir pressed on my wind pipe.

"Stop Vladimir." I was sure of it now. Her voice came out, not Tricia's. Vladimir loosened his grip, and I slid from him. The look on his face, I was scared for a minute. I collapsed and blacked out shortly after that.
