Lust for Blood

Chapter 25

Recently on Lust for Blood;

"Eight years ago, I was hanging around a bar, I had finished a murderous streak, and a demon had just come up from hell, looking for me. After he had found me, we talked for a while, I'm not gonna name names because he's still up here, looking for his child. We ended up, uh," I looked at him and saw his face contorting into anger "I fell pregnant with Tegan, so I told him that I was pregnant, he was ecstatic and happy. But I told him I couldn't stay with him, nor could he ever see his kid. But he didn't take it well, he threatened me not realizing I could murder him easier than he could threaten me, so I teleported away, giving birth nine months later. Therefore I have the kid, and I have, the, bad memory of getting pregnant with another mans child" I looked down.

Next thing I knew, I was making out with him heavily.

Now onto the chapter!

I pushed him off me trying to gather my thoughts, and control my breathing. "You know, just because I kissed you once didn't mean we could make out" he chuckled "Yeah well, I needed to do that, I was going insane with all this 'kid-pregnant-other-guy' chat" he sighed "Well mister," I looked at him excited to tell him, then I felt scared "I feel it's time... it's uh, time for me.. to.. accept.. you" I choked out holding my breath afterwards.

He looked at me, eyes wide "P-" I put my hand up "But you have to accept that Tegan is my physical daughter" he sighed, then nodded "I can accept her, even if she is someone else's and your kid" I squealed hugging him.

"You want to meet her? Officially?" I let go of him, still excited that maybe, just maybe I can live as normal of a life as any supernatural creature can.

He nodded chuckling at my excitement. I jumped then ran downstairs to find Tegan, I found Kara instead "Have you seen Tegan?" She nodded laughing "She's playing poker with one of the customers" I chuckled "That's my girl"

I walked towards where Tegan was, Elliot following me, eyes trained on my ass. I ignored it. I walked into the room she was in, but I stopped. "Tegan, come here please" she nodded bounding towards me. I pushed her behind Elliot snarling at the 'customer'

"Phoenix darling" he turned around smiling at me "I said no" I growled out, my voice taking on a demonic tone "Oh Phoenix sweetheart, you don't scare me" he winked "Well, Maximus, I should. I've changed since you've last seen me" my voice becoming more and more demonic.

"Mom?" I grunted in response, never taking my eyes off Max "Is that my biological father?"

I sighed, turning towards Tegan, knowing he'd lunge for me "Yes" then he lunged.

I twisted around so fast, kicking him square in the jaw. He shot to the other side of the room, unconscious. "Holy crap" Kara said "Uh huh, remind me never get her mad" Elliot murmured "Or pregnant" Kara shuddered, probably imaging me with the pregnancy hormones. "Guys, shut up" I rolled my eyes.

I walked over towards Max, crouching when I got to him. I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, hoisting him up. "Max, darling" I whispered softly, hiding my rage. He stirred, waking up slowly "P-Phoenix?" He looked at me, eyes going wide "Welcome back" I growled out standing up, still with his collar in my hand. "Phoenix please, I can make you love me again!" Elliot growled lowly "Sorry darlin', I don't love anything or anyone other than HER" I bullshitted.

I teleported him back to hell, locking him up. I turned to find Elliot looking sad, and Tegan running towards me. "That's the second time you've bee- wait, you were playing poker?" I asked kneeling to her height "Well, yes?" I laughed. She looked so scared "Tegan darling, who do you think taught you poker at a young age?"

I gently pushed her over to Kara, "Elliot , this is Tegan, Tegan, this is my... mate... Elliot" I struggled. "Is that why he was mad when he met me ...?" She asked sadly "Sweetheart, there are things about him even I don't know" she nodded.

Tegan's POV

I nodded feeling weird *Mom is okay, you don't have to fake your emotions, she knows* Caedes said happily. I looked at Phoenix to see her looking at me with a sad look "I'm okay, I swear" I walked over to her hugging her. "Hey, Tegan, I'd like to officially introduce myself, I'm Elliot" he kneeled behind Phoenix. "Why did you hate me?" Was the first thing that came out of my mouth.

He sighed "I didn't exactly hate you, I was just angry for the fact that she had you with another guy" I nodded understanding, "So it was the mate bond" they both looked shocked.

"Tegan can you leave us alone for a minute" I nodded giving Phoenix one last hug before walking out to find Xavi and Val.

Phoenix's POV

I groaned as soon as she walked out "What's up?" Elliot asked walking over towards me. I put my hand up signaling him to stop "This is so hard" I walked over to a chair and plopped down "What... is?" He hesitated "Maintaining my sanity, feeling the need to rip everyone's throat out is normal for me, but when I'm around... everyone I can see myself caring about in the future... it's so hard and I just... I need some time... alone" I struggled with my words.

He stayed silent, before walking over towards me, kneeling infront of me. "I need to tell you something" I groaned "It's not a love confession is it?" He chuckled "No, but it's hard to contain those words around you"

He sighed "I have a soul, I know it's weird but I'm the only vampyr with a soul. (STOLEN FROM ANGEL! FIGHT ME M8) I messed with the wrong gypsy back in the day, and their colony cursed me with a soul. It was hard to adjust to at first, hell I'm still adjusting to it even though it was 1863" my eyes widened "What gypsy did you piss off? I may know her or him" I rolled my eyes at the last words

"I have no idea, there were a lot back then" I grinned "Not a lot now eh?" "I have a feeling you know something.." I laughed "Hell yeah I do, who was the motherfucker who burnt over a thousand villages, not those damned gypsies"

"Wait, you were around in 63?" I laughed so hard tears came out of my eyes "Honey, how old do you think I am?" His face flushed "I mean, I don't know" I looked at his face, really looked, I could practically say I was examining his face. Seeing all the cracks and lines.

His face was perfect, I've decided "Hey Elliot, could you watch over Tegan? Like I know Xavier and them will be here, but I'd feel better if you watched over her" his face scrunched up in confusion "Why? Where are you going?" I sighed "Like I said, I need some time alone and I need to let off some of this murderous feeling" he sighed but nodded.

"Thanks" I kissed his forehead, standing up then teleporting away.

=====================

I am so sorry, I am so so so so SO sorry.

I haven't been feeling great, add that to the sadness and you get one hell of a ride.

I will be going back to my regular updating schedule next week, I just can't do any this week.

I love you all so so so fucking much

Love
Taryn ❤️
