Royal Blood On My Crimson Dress

Prologue Part 2

12 Years Later....

~~~~~~~~

"Mommy! Mommy! Look at that one!" 12 year old Adelaide pointed to a young boy of fourteen years of age.

Victoria had decided it was time to give Adelaide a friend and a tutor. She brought her here to help her decide.

Victoria looked at the young man, he had brown hair and light hazel eyes. He seemed nice enough.

She told Lucifer to fetch the boy and bring him to her chambers for an interview.

"Adelaide darling why don't you go feed the monsters in the basement. There's blood in the refrigerator."

Adelaide skipped off down the hall and slowly walked into the dark basement.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Josephine stared at the scene playing before her. She rose from her throne in Heaven and began to pace around the room.

Her own daughter was being taught that her kind were nothing but monsters!

She hissed at her stupidness. She should've known not to come to Victoria! Her motherly instincts should've told her.

Now she had to witness her daughter being brainwashed and had no idea where her son was.

She was so glad he was alive but she knew he had been sold into the VSO (Vampire Slavery Organization.)

She knew there was only one person that could help her, the one person she didn't want to see, the father of her children Vulcan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Victoria looked at the child in front of her and stared at him with icy green eyes.

He looked slightly uncomfortable as he fidgeted with his shirt.

"What makes you think you are qualified to be my child's protector?" She demanded of him.

"I'm a trained warrior your majesty, and I've been studying at higher levels required for my age since I was five years old. I'll make sure Adelaide is protected your highness." He bowed his head.

"Tell me young man, what is your name?"

He looked up at her and smiled brightly, "My name is Douglas Jones the 4th, son of Earl Douglas Jones the third." He said confidently because he was proud of his lineage.

Victoria looked at him and said softly, "Adelaide was quite fond of you, you know."

He blushed as he remembered the pretty young girl who had sat with the Queen.

"Douglas Jones the fourth, you are hired." They shook hands.

**********

Adelaide walked with two pounds of blood to the vampires in the basement.

Her mommy had told her that they were bad and they needed to be eradicated because they were monstrosities and would ruin Great Britain.

As she walked in the vampires continued to hiss at her. She calmly put a bag of blood in each of their cages.

As they tore at the bags of blood and began drinking it messily, she turned her head away in disgust.

Her mom was right these monsters are disgusting.

One of the vampires looked directly into Adelaide's piercing blue eyes and said, "You really don't get it, do you child?"

Adelaide was given strict orders not to talk to the vampires so she walked out of the room without answering.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Josephine stood at the gates of Vulcan's Olympian Mansion and waited for him to answer the door.

When he finally did he took her breath away. He was still as handsome as she remembered him. He looked down at her with shock.

"Josephine?" He whispered as if he didn't believe she would ever come back to him.

She wasn't planning on coming back to him but she had no other options.

"I need your help," she said and he lead her into the house.

" When you left me I found out I was pregnant," she began as she ran her hand over the upholstery, "I gave birth to two children and they were given to Queen Victoria and she sold our son into slavery and is brainwashing our daughter."

Vulcan looked at her and deadpanned, "What do you want me to do about it?"

Josephine was outraged, she stood up and shouted at him, "What can you do about it! You can save both of our children from doom!"

He glared at her, " I can't do anything for the boy, he is too far gone. But as for Adelaide when she turns eighteen I will give her several challenges that will help her find the runestone."

"Thank you.." he cut her off.

"On one condition, you go away and never come back here again."

She glared at him and said, "Deal."

****************

William stared at the innocent bodies laying in front of him.

He began to tear them apart one by one. Arm off the mother, eyes from the father, and boobs off the daughter.

They had treated him like a slave for far too long.

He had finally snapped and by snapped he meant necks.

After draining all their blood, he stuffed them under the floor boards.

He hadn't seen himself being a murderer at twelve but it was actually exhilarating.

He took the keys off the counter, the keys he was never allowed to touch and walked through the door.

He wanted to leave his life as William behind.

As he stepped out into the world for the first time he said, "Here comes hell on Earth and his name is Liam."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Josephine walked down the hallway in Queen Victoria's castle.

As she was in her ghost form no one could see her. She wanted to see her daughter one last time.

What Vulcan said had hurt but in the end she knew that he had never really loved her.

When she entered Adailade's room she began to stroke her daughter's long black hair and sing her a lullaby.

When she was done she heard the door to the room open, but she wasn't concerned. A boy that looked to be fourteen years old walked into the room.

He stared at Josephine for a long time before finally asking, " Who are you?"

Josephine was shocked and simply said , " You're a necromancer."

He replied by nodding his head.

She left before her cover was completely blown.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Douglas stared at Adelaide.

She was very beautiful when she was sleeping.

He assumed the woman in the room was a ghost. He had seen her because he was a necromancer.

His father was one too.

He decided not to tell The Queen about the mysterious woman in the room, she didn't seem dangerous anyway.
