Death and Lust

Tristan's p.o.v

I couldn't believe it, she was mine, she wanted me, I had her all to myself. I knew when I gave her my blood that we would be bonded, but as she was a half breed, I was unsure it would work but I'm glad it did. I'm a vampire, it's in my nature to be sly. I couldn't help it. She was mine! and no one else's, that's all that mattered.

There I stood, watching my unsuspecting prey as she walked out the grocery store. It was going to be quick, get my fill and be on my way. As I was about to pounce, I felt something holding me down  pinning me firmly to the ground, which was impossible because I was royalty and centuries old, the only other thing that could supress me was......

My father.

"Hello Tris" he greeted

"I hate it when you call me that!" I declared sharply.

"Where is the half breed you promised me." He asked harshly. "I see that you have been... uh... enjoying yourself with her, I can smell her all over you."

" Yes, she is mine now! and I promised her that I wouldn't let any harm come to her. So father please respect me and leave us be." I demanded.

My father removed his grip from me and picked me up by my shirt collar and said

"What! you dare defy me boy? It was you who told me of her existance, now you want to protect her? She is not one of us and she will never be. She may be the only thing to help us walk in the sun again." he fumed.

My father was quite intimidating, his eyes turned black, his nostrils flared and his fangs exposed. "You will deliver her to me, my son, or i will kill you just like I killed your mother! Is that understood?" he said as he dropped me on the ground.

"Yes father." I said feeling defeated.

"Well father, are you going to kill her?"

"I am not sure, but if her blood is the key to our evolution, I will drain every drop from her and store it for further use. Plus she has to pay for the unspeakable crimes she displayed towards our kind, even if I don't kill her, I cannot promise that the others wouldn't." he said acidily and draind of emotion.

I growled I felt my fangs release my fingernails extended, I was about to attack my father, then retreated. I would live today and fight tomorrow.

"Wise choice son, very wise," he stated. "Very well then, I expect my package by tomorrow night, and please do not be late." He said, then disappeared into the night.

Shit! What was I going to do? I had to protect Maya, I forgot all about the thirst and ran back home to her. I couldn't lose her not now.

Maya's p.o.v.

"Maya, Maya, start packing now," I heard Tris say from downstairs."We have to leave now!

"What, why, what's going on Tris, you're frightening me, I can feel the fright in you as well as the worry, what is it that you aren't telling me."

" Nothing!, do not argue!" he shouted as his face narrowed and his eyes rcrimson red, he did not feed, it was obvious.

"You are hungry, so you are not thinking straight. Come drink from me, then we can talk about what's bothering you" i said as I ran my fingers through his hair.

He grabbed me by the wrists and squeezed hard. "OW Tris you're hurting me!" I screamed. "Go get packed now! I will tell you everything later I promise." he demanded

In that instant his doors flew open, and I saw him. The vampire who had taken my mother years ago. I was stunned, paralyzed, I could not move neither speak.

"Son, what are you doing? Trying to leave?" he asked smilingly.

"Father, get away from here, leave us be please, just do this one thing for me father please, please, and I will forgive for for what you did to mother years ago." Tristan begged and pleaded at this foul creature.
