After the murder of his parents, Victor vows to kill those responsible...
Stephanie is forced to live the life her parents chose by marrying the heir apparent to the throne of a foreign kingdom but this still doesn't stop her longing for the strange...
Victor saw someone walk into the forest carrying a lantern. He looked closely and noticed it was a maid from the castle. 'Seraya'. He was sitting on a tree branch waiting for Eleanor to return.
He saw her stop to look around before dropping the lantern and changing into different clothes. He jumped down from the tree without making a sound then walked towards her.
Victoria finished changing into a new dress she had brought along with her and shoved the maid's dress into a small bag. Joachim had sent a bird with a scroll instructing her to come see him a night before the wedding. She suddenly felt someone's presence around her.
She spun around but saw no one. She turned back to see a man infront of her. It was thesame man she had seen in Stephanie's room. 'What was he doing here?'
He grabbed her by the shoulders and held her gaze. "Seraya!"
She frowned. Why was he touching her and calling her Seraya? Did he think she was a whore like the princess?' She grabbed his hand and flung him to a tree.
'What just happened?' Victor wondered as he stood up. 'Did Seraya, a human being just fling him?' He stared at her in shock.
"Who are you and what do you want from me?!" She snapped.
'This wasn't Seraya. Maybe he was mistaken. What could have happened to her?' She moved towards him with an inhuman speed and grabbed him by the throat pinning him against the tree, her long nails digging into his flesh. "Stop it! Now!" he roared and she fell backwards her skin burning from her touching him. 'He must be a witch' she thought.
He touched the spot on his neck where her nails had punctured but it had sealed up. He watched her crawling away from him to her bag. He understood now that she was a vampire.
He placed his palm on her forehead and she fell back into a deep slumber. He carried her from the ground into his arms and moved with an inhuman speed to his lair. 'When she woke up, she was going to tell him where and how she had turned"
Eleanor stared at him in horror "Wh.. What?!". He nodded and beckoned to a maid to clear the table. "You will be staying here for a couple of days milady".
She moved away from him and quickly grabbed a knife from the cutlery bowl pointing it straight at him. "Let me go now!"
He moved his gaze from her to the knife then back to her. "Not a very good way to treat your host milady"
The knife in her hands suddenly turned into dust burning her skin and she quickly let the particles fall to the ground after which they dissapeared. She widened her eyes in shock. She tried using her powers to disappear but they weren't working. 'Why?'
He started walking towards her and she moved backwards until her back collided with the wall. He closed the distance between them and held her gaze for sometime. "Your chambers have been set up, maids will be there at your beck and call. You will have ladies attend to you and they will teach you all you need to learn as a woman and that includes table manners" he said with a smirk. "The dark witches are at it again and I have to go deal with them. I'll be back in a day or two. Don't you dare leave the castle. Are we clear?" He asked and she nodded. "Good. I have to protect my loved ones Elen and that includes you" he said, placing a kiss on her forehead before walking out of the dinning hall.

Stephanie stared at her transformed self in the mirror. It was her wedding but it felt like her funeral. She only wished Victor would come and whisk her away.
The Queen came in and told her it was time. They got into different carriages. She sat in one with her maid of honor Rachel. The carriage rode to the church where everyone was waiting.
The Priest concluded the rites and asked if there was anyone who was against the wedding. When he had waited long enough and no one came out, he was about joining the two in holy matrimony when the main entrance flung open. "I object!" Came the thunderous masculine voice.
