A Sealed Fate (Watty's 2017)

35.

Hours seemed to tick by, slowly. Vladimir traced a finger over her skin. The memories flashing through his mind. I miss you, Sarah. But thank you, for her. He breathed in Tricia's scent. It hadn't changed, she still smelled human.

Perhaps he was wrong about her becoming tainted and soulless. Kasha had been turned and made it her mission in life to have a cure for vampirism. As well as eradicate the vampiric race. Training not only her hybrid children but her grandchildren and so forth.

Vladimir sighed deeply, if he hadn't saved her, and hadn't picked Sarah over her. The world would be much better off.

Tricia began to squirm, waking up. "Good morning." She groaned, stretching her arms high above her head. It was no time to complain or regret the past decisions he made so long ago. He purred almost at the sound of her voice. "Good morning, my sweet."

Tricia smiled, getting out of bed and going off to the bathroom. Vladimir sighed laying back. He stared at the ceiling, until his throat began to burn. "What the hell?" He spoke out loud, just as Tricia was walking from the bathroom. "What's wrong?" Shed ask as Vladimir sat up and began coughing hard. It was as though he was having trouble breathing.

Tricia rushed over and touched his face, he was icy cold to the touch. When his eyes met hers they were a blood red in color. "Get away from me." He growled, shoving her backwards and running from the room.

Tricia blinked watching his form disappear.

Alfred was walking towards the bedroom and got shoved into the wall by accident. Tricia heard the thud of the landing and went to him. "What's wrong with him?" Shed ask as Alfred dusted off his pants. "I'm not sure, shall I prepare your morning bath though?" He snarled slightly at the scent.  Tricia blushed realizing she wreaked of sex.

With Vladimir.

Vladimir panted reaching the cemetery were his father lay. The monument that marked the Valentine cemetery, held his father's body.

He raked his claws across the door, before collapsing to his knees. "What's wrong, Vlad?" Came a female voice, he turned to look at her. He snarled seeing Kasha. "So you finally have a mate, a true mate. Sar..." She was cut off by his claws barely missing her face. "Don't you dare speak her name!" He growled before collapsing, as Kasha took a step back.

She hadn't ever seen him like this before, she got a bit concerned. "I wouldn't get near him." Came a male voice, from behind a tree. Kasha shivered as it hit her who it was.

Victor Valentine. Kasha snarled at him. "Alright asshole, what's wrong with him?" Victor stepped to her side and watched his brother a moment before swiftly kicking him in the face and knocking him unconscious. "What the hell!" Kasha yelled at Victor, who simply raised an eyebrow at her. "You're on Valentine territory, I expect you to mind your manners or leave." He smiled a fake polite smile.

Kasha sighed, looking to Vladimir she left the territory quickly. "My my. What am I ever to do with you?" Victor looked at his brother and wriggled his nose. Alfred walked up from the shadows. "Shall we return him home, lord Victor?" Came his calm voice.

Victor pulled his brother's dead weight up slightly on one arm, Alfred naturally took the other side and the two dragged Vladimir home.

Hours passed before Vladimir awoke. "You idiot! You could have easily hurt him!" Tricia's voice rang out, anger and worry coursing through it. "Hurt him? Shit, he's going to hurt me when he realizes I kicked him in the face. You should be worried about me." Victor whined, prompting the sound of skin meeting skin to echo.

Vladimir stared at the ceiling, sighing deeply. The memory flashing past his eyes like a movie. What would have happened to Tricia, if he didn't control himself the way he did? Would he have killed her? Tears threatened to invade his vision. He couldn't bare the thought of losing her.

The door opened as Tricia entered. He could hear her feet stepping on the floor. "Good news, you don't stay Feral forever. It's a temporary effect of mating for real." Tricia shrugged and sat beside him. "You feeling ok?" She looked at him, touching his face gently, she wiped a tear from his eyes. "I attacked Victor." He lied, it was Kasha he attacked. "What would have happened if I had attacked you? I could have easily killed you." He sat up and hugged her close.

Tricia thought about it a moment before giving him a strong look. "I know you wouldn't intentionally hurt me. Even in a feral state of mind." Vladimir sighed, the sting where victor's boot met his face becoming apparent. "Victor!!!!" Vladimir growled hopping up and rushing out the bedroom.

Tricia sighed watching him go. Victor, like a scared cat, yelped loudly as his older brother pinned him down, and punched him hard in the face. "Don't you ever kick me in the face again, you snot nosed brat!" Vladimir hit Victor roughly several times, causing blood to spurt out his nose and his face to be badly bruised.

Victor had forgotten the sudden strength and power of a newly mated male vampire. Tricia grabbed Vladimir's hand and stopped the last punch from landing. "Stop this! You two are brothers! That's enough!"

Vladimir had turned into a beast, back handing her face. And sending her backwards with claw marks on her face.

Alfred growled low and gave a swift kick into Vladimir's head. A loud crack echoed the halls, as his jaw and cheek bone shattered. Knocking Vladimir yet again, out cold. Victor was out as well from the beating his brother gave. "Hm how odd. Usually it's a temporary thing. Then again, lord Vladimir hadn't ever been quite normal." He sighed and lifted Victor with ease. Carrying him off to his room.

Two much bigger men came and lifted Vladimir up. Dragging him down the halls and to a room where he would dangle from chains in the ceiling.

Tricia sat there, her hair covering her eyes and the tears rolling down her cheeks. Her right cheek stung with the salty tears. But it only made her crying worse.
