Maria P.O.V
After Eric broke into the castle, I was extra vigilant about the kids safety. I placed protection charms on them so I would be alerted of any dangers. I tried to avoid them at work since seeing them angered me too much. All it did was bring back memories of them trying to slay my husband or endangering my kids. It wouldn't really matter since I was thinking of resigning soon. The stress was too much for me to deal with on top of my other jobs. Until I decided, I would keep it a secret from everyone.
For now, I made sure that the castle was fit for guests. Ivan, Vlad's youngest brother, would be joining us for his sons transformation. They would be staying for a few weeks which made me anxious. Those two together were always trouble makers & Vlad was dying to drain the town. This was the worst combination but I was capable of stopping them both. I was trying to enjoy the peace while it lasted until tonight.
"Hahaa, I can't wait to see that little brother of mine. He's been in America for far too long & I bet his children know what real evil is." Vlad chuckled as the kids & Robin listened from the table
"That's because their Dad is a real vampire." Ingrid countered before getting pinched, "Nevermind."
"Dad, you will behave yourself right? Remember, no peasant hunting." Vladdy reminded him
"Oh no Vlad. The moment that Ivan arrives we're going to paint this town very, very red. Hahaahaa" Vlad cackled before we all left to get ready
"You do remember that technically I'm still a slayer. I will stop you if you leave too many bodies." I reminded him as I looked over my dress
"Oh yes, I'm well aware. That just makes the night more fun." Vlad whispered in my ear
"I'm being serious, you oaf." I scowled
"Oh fine. We'll try to contain ourselves. My poor blood cellar." Vlad groaned as I smirked
"Love you too." I chuckled as he pulled me in
"Love you too, little goody two shoes." Vlad teased before kissing me
Once we broke apart, we saw the time & began to rush. I grabbed the cloaks & fastened his on while he shouted for the kids. We met in the foyer, all cloaked, to leave for the train. We waited for a long time on the platform so Ingrid naturally complained. Vladdy hoped that he wasn't coming until the track began to emit red lightning & the air smelled of death. I knew that he had finally arrived & laughed a bit when Renfield almost got sideswiped by the train.
"Children, prepare to meet your uncle. Ivan the blood thirsty, devourer of souls & black hearted butcher of..." Vlad grandly announced as Renfield opened the passenger door
"Yo, big bro! Come give me a hug." Ivan happily greeted, completely ruining Vlad's opening. I was in complete awe of his drastic change as he completed ditched his vampiric looks & attitude.
