Red Rebirth [COMPLETED]

C h a p t e r 23

Blaire lingered in the shadows as she watched Vincent's coven make their way down a set of spiral stairs. She quickly covered the rest of her body behind the wall she was leaning on as one of the females, Qusaei, glanced towards her direction. Perhaps her scent spray was wearing off. She pondered for a moment whether or not she should use the 'I can't find the bathroom' excuse to get closer towards the red doors that was closing behind the last member of Vincent's clan but she couldn't bring herself to degrade her intelligence even if it would give her the answers she needed. Instead she sauntered back to her room.

Eleanor sat on Blaire's bed, triumphant that she had the element of surprise when the blond haired girl walked in. Blaire eyed the deceitful exterior of the 200 year old woman on her bed, head to toe before her gaze finally settled on the little girls eyes. they were probably as cold as her and yet the smile that played on the lips around her red lollipop, told a different story.

"I think you are in the wrong room little one" Blaire drawled as she began to get undressed into a her satin shorts and matching satin vest. She had never been one to shy away from getting naked, preferring the naked body than that of a fully clothed one.

Eleanor couldn't deny the female's beauty in the set of heavy breast she wielded on her chest and even the golden curls sprinkled on her southern region. it were times like these that made her curse her own treacherous body for no man nor woman ever looked at her with desire and the idea of ever finding a mate seemed foreign to her. She pushed all that thought aside and sucked on her sweet.

"Darling if you are not going to speak or even move then ill have to carry that little body of yours out myself."

"Honestly I wouldn't mind if you carried me out. wouldn't mind being touched by you." Eleanor smirked

Blaire's faced scrunched into a look of confusion "you are not hitting on me."

Eleanor shrugged "if you say so." she bounced off the bed and waved a black gadget in her hand, pretending to admire the object. "I guess with the competition now over,  I wouldn't have to report you for having a phone in a competition that ban on phones."

Blaire snarled an reached for the girl at inhuman speed. Eleanor could read the Blaire's actions before she saw it coming and wound her hands around Blaire's neck. She bent her neck at an awkward angle and sank her fangs into a throbbing vein releasing her venom into the two raw puncture wounds.

Blaire clawed at her neck as she felt the venom race through her body, too fast for her to heal herself. She felt her muscles stiffen and her vision blur. "what did you do?"

Eleanor smirked, satisfied at her handiwork. It seemed with this girl she was smiling more often than she did her whole life. Blaire's body had slumped to the floor as the whole body began to feel the paralyzing effects of her venom but fire still burnt in her eyes as she internally fought. Eleanor knelt down to be eye to eye with the warrior in front of her and stroked her hair.

"Relax, relax. You won't change into one of us. Its just enough venom to disable you especially since I know what you are."

At this point, Eleanor wished Blaire's tongue hadn't paralyzed now that she revealed she knew her small little secret. She loved when her preys never knew what was coming.

" I have to say though that you really deceive us. Although, you did let yourself down because your ego got the better of you and you revealed yourself when you fought me. I have honestly seen only one person fight like you. And if that one person is the person I am thinking of then my oh my we do have a problem from the dead don't we. Ironic hearing that from a vampire's mouth right?" She paused as though waiting for Blaire to respond but she was met with silence.

"I had no idea he made it out alive. No one, not even history remembers him. He had melted into the past believed to have not left a legacy and yet here you are..."

Eleanor stared at Blaire and marveled at her beauty. She looked nothing like him but she was a piece of him for sure and now that she knew, she could smell him all over her. In fact she didn't know how she had missed the strong stench of her old friend. Could she even call him a friend?

"I d-don't know what you're talking about" Blake chirped out

"Ahhh look! She speaks! I told you the venom would wear off. I wouldn't want to hurt you! you know that right?" Eleanor whispered and stroked the crease in her brow.

"When this venom w-wears off, I will kill you."

"Not before I announce who you are to the whole coven. I have to say, having Vincent breathing down your neck fuelled with hatred, is not a life worth living. Especially for you."

"Entertain me then. Since one of us is going die, indulge my curiosity and explain exactly who 'he' is.  Tell me what exactly I am." Relief rushed into Blaire as sensation filtered through the venom into her fingers.

"Before I explain, tell me how you were made." Eleanor sniffed "there's something blocking your scent right now, I am guessing Ragnart weed but beneath all of that, there is something wrong with your scent."

"Wouldn't you just love to know?"

Eleanor growl and leaped onto Blaire's crumpled frame. With the venom wearing off, Blaire violently shook her head in an attempt to remove herself from Eleanor's vice like grip. Eleanor's nails elongated, cutting into Blake's face. She marveled at the small drop of blood that spilled on her nails.

"you are in no position to have such an attitude little one."

"Little one," Blaire sniggered "The irony kills me"

Eleanor slammed her fist into Blake's nose. The impact fractured the vulnerable bone. She bent down and licked the blood that trickled drown from her nostrils not caring that the remaining Ragnart weed in her system would have an effect on her too. She trailed her tongue towards Blaire's ear and bit carelessly into her neck. Blaire released a blood curdling screech as the woman in a child's body fed off her like a leech. As sensation wormed its way into her body, she clapped her hand around  Eleanor's neck and pulled not caring for the rip in her neck and her blood oozing out.

"You little bitch!" she leaped for Eleanor, death clouding her vision but was wrenched away mid air by a looming figure "Get the fuck off me Edmund!"

The man didn't reply. Instead he glanced at Eleanor before he portaled himself and the raging blond out of the room, out of the mansion, out of Eleanor's reach. They were two women he didn't want going head to head.

"I had her, you fucking ape!"

Edmund grunted. "We know you did."

"We?" Edmund nodded. Blake swore and turned to face her master.

Vincent's coven surround Elise's sleeping body. He stroked Elise's hair desperately wanting to savour the moment where she harbored no hatred for him or not as much hatred as she would have once she woke up. He had just found her again and to let her go would leave him the same broken man he was once this whole cycle began.

Alexander kissed Elise's forehead. He had he same fear as Vincent but he knew there was no other way to save her.

"Dear friends. We gather her to witness the birth of a new life. May all remember this day as we invite another member into our coven."

His coven hissed their sign of approval and agreement and Vincent took it as his cue to proceed. He kissed Elise's forehead as a sign of a clear mind. He kissed her cheek as the sign for welcome and finally he placed his palm on her chest as a sign of his approval before he raised her hand to his lips and drew in her life force replacing her old blood with the spirit of her new coven. His venom at this high of a dosage, spread through her body battling with ease against her body's natural reaction to dispel foreign substances within her. Her eyes didn't open but her body writhed in pain.

Vincent took a step back silently watching his beloved turn into the creature she detested.

"She will pull through and we'll deal with any problems that come our way like we always do."

Vincent nodded at Hague's comforting words. And turned his back on Elise for the transformation would take at least 3 days and in that time, he would hunt down whoever did began this war.
