Chapter 10 ( Vincent's POV)

Editors Note: All original characters and story line belong to LilyDusk. This chapter is full of surprises. Hope all of you enjoy, love y'all. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think. Updates might be a little slower, I've started back to work. So, less free time to write; between work, my novel I am working on, and this fan-fiction. This chapter is a little shorter since it is in Vincent's point of view, however, we still have a long way to go :)!

Making my way up the stairs to Tora's apartment, I was taken aback by how bland the area was. 'Well, I guess it suits his personality. We don't all live luxurious lives such has Quincy and I'. I finally made it to the door and to my surprise, it was already open, with Quincy standing in the doorway.

"Hey Dad, what's going on, your message seemed urgent."

While looking him up and down, taking in his outfit choice for the day I notice Tora leaning against the wall staring at me. After noticing my glance, he turned away. 'That a boy, know who's in control'. Turning back to my son, I notice that he looks nervous. I walk up to him and put a hand on his shoulder, "are ya gonna let me in son, or do I have to stand in this doorway all day"?

Rolling my eyes, I pushed him out of my way and entered Tora's apartment. It was a dark man cave, with little to no characterization. Noticing the sofa off to the side, I motion for the boys to sit. I tend to like to look down on them, makes them more susceptible to what I am going to say.

"All right listen up boys. Tonight, is a big ceremony. The whole clan will be in attendance as well as my sister. She has come into town not only to take care of some old business, but also to bless the ceremony. Tonight, we will make history for the clan and tonight, we will put all of the pieces together to create the next generation."

Both boys sat there stunned, Quincy sitting back with a solemn facial expression and Tora completely expressionless. Then Quincy looked up and said, "How exactly is that going to happen father, and what do you mean by 'create' the new generation?" Laughing I shake my head, "Clever boy". They both are looking at me waiting for me to explain. "All right, all right. I wanted to keep this has a surprise for you, but I guess I will let you in on the secret. Over the past week, we have been scouting and have found the perfect women to carry our next generation. Each high-ranking clan member, will meet, and greet the woman that has been chosen for them this evening. The women are strong, and intelligent, and each chosen with consideration to each members taste."

"Seeing has you are my son Quincy; you will be expected to produce an heir to the organization. The same will go for you Tora, you are one of my most highly skilled members. The blood running through your veins needs to be carried on into the next members of the organization. Hence the ceremony."

Tora seeming very reluctant pipes up, "What do ya plan on doing with the women, during and after the ceremony?"

"Nothing too bad, they will serve their purpose. They will be introduced to the entire clan has your partners, so that all members know that they are off limits. Then you will all be given a room at the mansion, where you will carry out your business. They will be your responsibility to look after, and care for. Am I understood"? Looking at the boys, I wait for a response. Quincy, speaks up again, "are all of the women willing, or being forced against their will"? His expression is stone cold and looking at him reminds me of my younger self. "Most were willing, there are only 2 that will be rounded up this evening, that don't know exactly how their lives are about to change. Speaking of which, I need to prepare for their arrival."

Looking down at my watch, I tell the boys "You are expected at the mansion by 8 this evening. Meet me in the study, and the rest will be explained. Also, it will give both of you sometime to reacquaint yourselves with Rosalyn, my sister. Cheer up boys, it is going to be a great night." With that I turned on my heel and walked to the door.

"Ohh, and Tora... who was that young woman you were standing with on the sidewalk? Better yet, why don't you just tell me who she is later tonight". Flashing them a smile I make my way out of the door. 'You would think that they would be more appreciative of my help. They aren't getting any younger, and with the clan war brewing, I want to secure the organizations future'.

Making my way back down the stairs, I walk over to my driver, who is waiting with the back door open. "Did you find out where she lives?", I ask once my door has been shut, and my driver is now back in the front seat. "Yes Sir, the boys and I will be ready later this evening. First, we need to get our hands on that lawyer that likes to hang around young master Quincey." Looking into the rear-view mirror I meet his gaze and nod my head, "Take has many men has you need, I want to have a word with them before we parade them in front of the clan".

Responding with a "yes sir", my driver takes off and on we go. Rosalyn was in town to take care of business involving her daughter. It has been a few years since she has spoken to her, and I believe that she plans to find her and bring her to the mansion. 'It's about time, I know that she asked me to leave her out of things, and that her daughter is the reason that her lover was murdered, but I would like to finally meet my niece. The more family we can surround ourselves with, and have on our side, the better!" With that, I continued looking out the window until we arrived home.

Rosalyn was waiting at the door, alongside my wife Sarah. "Don't you ladies look stunning", I said greeting them. Motioning my hand forward I exclaimed "After you". With a roll of their eyes both ladies make their way back inside, with me not far behind them. Tonight's ceremony still needs to be set up. With that, we all got to work, ensuring that everything was properly arranged and prepared.

'I hope they are ready the boys have a long night ahead of them'.
