Silas' POV:
"So Lyle and you know fencing along with the rest of your siblings?" Rei asked with interest. My kids were looking at me wide eyed while Hesper ate his sushi. I laughed and nodded.
"Yeah, I totally beat my bully too- well, once at that time," I mumbled under my breath. I won later fair and square- knocking him down quite a lot... and eventually I killed him too. "I was a tough kid." I laughed at the thought and shook my head. "Bet I could beat Lyle today if I went and challenged him to a duel."
"He probably doesn't fence anymore," Rei said thoughtfully. "After all.... He has Milo to take care of." I shrugged.
"He still knows," I told him then looked at Rei with a purr. "Bet you like that I know how to fence though," I teased and gave him a playful look. "I should teach some of our kids...."
"You should. Teach all our kids. Starting with Hesper and up the line. You can teach our older kids together and when the younger ones are old enough you can teach them.... When you have the time of course." He gave me a stern look. "You need to get to bed. You have a big day tomorrow." I looked at him and purred.
"Okay... I guess I can listen to my son play later," I told him then looked at Giovanni. "Sweetie... you know what mommy would really love? If you wrote me a song and played it for me when I'm home for good," I told him then kissed the top of his head. "Would you like to do that for me?" It'll give him something to look forward to.
"Yeah! I'll write you something pretty," he purred. "Go get some rest mommy. I understand you've got something important to do for the council." Giovanni gave me a sweet smile. "Besides, I need to warm up before I play for you."
"I'll come to bed with you," Rei purred in my ear. I held back a small moan and leaned back against him then kissed his jaw line.
"Uh huh~ Let's make a little nest for Baby in my shirt drawer so he can't run off while we sleep," I suggested. "We can make a better nesting spot for him later."
"Okay," Rei purred and pulled me off towards the elevator. I followed after him and rubbed Baby's head as he laid on my shoulder then got on the elevator and pressed Rei's floor button then walked up to him and kissed him sweetly. He kissed me back and pulled away, giving me a sweet smile.
"So you're going to Lyle's dungeon tomorrow... right?" He asked. "To deal with Lavender."
"Yeah, we're going to try to get what we can out of her then let Sylar kill her as quick as we can. We don't want to prolong Esther's suffering," I whispered to him then playfully messed with the tie on his kimono he was wearing. "I'll try to make it as quick as I can for her...." I purred then kissed his neck. He purred and looked me over.
"You're such a good man," he purred. "Caring for your sister too...." He looked me over and then looked directly at Baby. I smiled then and rubbed his cheek.
"Well... I would hate it if my family was going to kill you," I told him softly. "At least she doesn't know her mate well yet. She'll be able to recover...." I rubbed Baby's head then kissed it before I got off as the elevator dinged and swayed my hips as I walked over to my dresser I had for some of my shirts. I opened a drawer then started to move some of the shirts around to create a nest then slipped Baby in it. "Here you go," I purred to him then kissed his head again. Rei walked up to the bed and crawled into it, pulling the covers over his body.
"Silas, I think you should give her a week to redeem herself and be the mate she's supposed to be for Esther. Like how I've given a week to Alfarus." He looked towards me. "It couldn't hurt if you have her watched carefully." I frowned as I slowly shut the drawer on Baby so he couldn't run off or get hurt then turned to him.
"But Rei... I promised Sylar he could have his revenge. She killed his mate! He was just learning to love him really well too...." I sighed and walked up to the bed. "I don't know.... I promised this to him long before we found out who she is to Esther.... She has to pay for it... and Sylar wants her dead and fed to the werewolves."
"Yes... but I feel bad for Esther. She won't know what we have because of this," Rei whined softly. I frowned and then sat down on the bed.
"Rei... is it really a good idea to give Esther the hope that Sylar won't rip Lavender to shreds? I mean... even if she does prove that she can be a good mate to Esther, Sylar isn't going to rest till she's dead, and I'm not alienating my brother.... It would be worse if she was allowed to get attached to Lavender." I sighed then laid down beside him, getting under the covers.
"You're right," Rei whined. "Sylar deserves his revenge. I'm just upset Esther is going to get hurt over this. Luckily we're not werewolves. It would have been worse on her." I nodded.
"Yeah... besides, it would be nice if she found a pureblood. She could have children then," I told him and sighed, pulling him into my arms then kissed his lips. "Like we do...."
"That would be nice.... We should make Lyle give us nephews too," Rei purred. I nodded and smirked.
"We'll have to ask Aurelio to make Milo fertile for Lyle and then have my fledgling change Milo's genders," I purred out then snuggled up to my mate. I kissed him then untied his kimono with a small laugh. He laughed and tsked at me.
"Baby is in the room," he purred. "Go to sleep silly." I whined then moved closer to him.
"He's in my shirt drawer," I mumbled in his ear.
"He's still in the same room," Rei muttered lowly. I frowned then kissed his neck.
"Could we at least take a bath together?" I asked him and then kissed his chest. He looked me over and chuckled.
"No," he told me. "Bathrooms are sacred in my country you know," he purred. "It's a place where you're most vulnerable." I frowned then nodded. Darn it.... I guess that means no bath together. I pulled his kimono off him anyways and purred, moving on top of him then curled up on his chest. He laughed and kissed the top of my head. "We'll have Hesper babysit Baby tomorrow night," he purred in my ear. I purred then looked up at him.
"Alfarus should enjoy that. He wants hatchlings with him, you know.... He'd be teaching Hesper parenting skills for dragons if we let Hesper babysit him," I told him and laughed.
"Maybe having Baby around him... He'll change his mind about kids," Rei purred. I thought it over then nodded. I guess it's alright for Baby to be around Hesper. Besides, Baby saw me first when he hatched. I'm his imprinted mommy~ I looked up at him and purred, kissing him.
"That'd be sweet," I told him and smiled happily. "Little vampire hatchlings running around when Hesper comes home to visit us. I wonder who they'll take after more... Alfarus or Hesper.... Who knows what they'll be born as." I laughed then gave him another kiss. "I love you~"
"Hesper of course. He's a gold piece of treasure. I love you too," he purred and kissed the top of my head. I purred then kissed his neck softly before I closed my eyes, leaning my face into his chest as I started to fall asleep.
I stirred and gripped Rei as I started to wake up and whined. I don't want to wake up... that means I have to get up and leave my mate... and it's warm here.... I buried my face into him to hide. I'm not awake.... I'm not awake.... I'm not awake.... I am still sleeping. If I'm asleep, I don't have to do anything today. "Silas, I know you're awake. Time for you to get to work," Rei purred in my ear. I heard Baby chirp at his voice.
"Nuh-uh, I'm still asleep," I whispered to him and curled up into a ball on him.
"You're talking to me," he purred in amusement. "Baby wants food." I whined then opened my eyes, glancing towards the dresser before I moved off him and went towards the dresser.
"Fiiine," I mumbled. "I'm up...." I opened the drawer and looked down at Baby, a small purr escaping me as I was delighted to see my Baby. He chirped as he saw me. He had been sucking on one of my shirts. I laughed then gently pulled him out and kissed his head. "Hey sweetie~! Let's go feed you something. You want to see your Uncle Milo tonight again?" I asked him sweetly and chirped to him as I started for the elevator. He bit my finger and started to suck on it, purring softly. I laughed happily and purred to him. "You're so cute~ I love you," I told him and went into the elevator quickly. I took us down to the main floor then headed for the kitchen, preparing him some warm honey milk then offered him the bottle, sitting on the counter as I purred to him. He looked towards the bottle before he started to suck it dry, giving a hungry call. I chuckled to him and watched him finish it off then kissed the top of his head, taking the bottle back from him. "All gone," I told him. He purred as his belly was fat and plump. He looked up at me and laid down on his side. I laughed and gently rubbed his stomach then under his chin. "You fat baby," I teased him then got off the counter. He chirped to me in excitement before licking my hand. I laughed then kissed his head. "So sweet~" I started to walk towards the night room and put him on my shoulder as I pulled out my phone and texted Everest to come get me then sat down on the couch. I heard a low growl before a gray flash went by my head and a small, lap dog sized Alfarus was in my lap. He looked at Baby then at me with a glare. I frowned at him.
"Hey, it's different," I told him. "He has a loving home with me. I didn't steal him out of a nest either. I just got him from a guy who bought him off the guys who stole him out of a nest," I told him and then went to push him out of my lap but he hissed and went for Baby. Baby yelped ducked into my shirt quickly. He went up under my shirt before I could react and came out the bottom of my shirt with Baby held in his jaws. He glared at me then went to run off, but I grabbed him by his wings and pinned him on the couch. "Let my kid go!" I hissed at him. I heard Baby let out a small call to me, fear in his voice. I forced Alfarus's jaws open and snatched my hatchling back up then hissed at Alfarus, hiding Baby against my chest. "He's my kid, and I'm going to raise him! You're not taking him from me Alfarus! I love him just like if I was the one that laid his egg!" He looked at me in confusion then puffed smoke at me.
"You're strange," he told me.
"Well it's true. Baby is my baby," I told him firmly. He looked at Baby curled up in my hand then at me then laid down.
"Fine, you can keep the dragon," he said then watched us closely. I heard Baby whining to me and curling up against my chest, his heart pounding in his chest. I gently kissed his head then started to run my fingers down his back to try to calm down.
"Shhh, it's okay Baby," I murmured to him then started to purr to him lowly. "Mommy is here...." I chirped softly at him. He started to calm down before crawling up my shirt and curled up on the crook of my neck. I smiled then rubbed his head before I heard Everest purr.
"That's so sweet.... You make me want to have more kids.... I should ask Neal for more pups~" She giggled and walked up, grabbing me and we were suddenly in my castle's night room. "NEAL! I WANT ANOTHER KID!" She shouted, starting to walk off with an excited look. I widened my eyes. What... the heck... did I start?
"I'M TOO OLD!" Neal yelled, sounding like he was taking off running now. I felt Baby rub his head against my neck, beginning to purr to me. I laughed and looked towards Baby.
"Hey sweetie," I purred to him then kissed his head. I rubbed under his chin then and smiled happily.
"NO YOU'RE NOT! I'LL GET YOU DURING YOUR MATING SEASON!" Everest shouted after Neal.
"NO! NOT MY MATING SEASON! YOU KNOW THAT'S WHEN I'M MORE ACCEPTIVE OF KIDS!" Neal yelled and yelped. "TWO KIDS IS GOOD ENOUGH!"
"I'M GOING TO GO TALK TO YOUR MOM~! SHE'S GOING TO BE SO HAPPY!" Everest called out and giggled, starting for the garden doors. I shivered and sunk down on the couch. Whoa.... Everest really wants kids all of a sudden....
"NOOOOOOO! NO MORE KIDS! I'M IN MY PRIME!" Neal yelled.
"OH MOTHER IN LAAAAAW~" Everest giggled and I heard her leave the castle, going into the garden. Dang.... If Rei ever gets like that in a few centuries... I think I would have to climb a tree....
"EVEREST! I'M TURNING YOU INTO A GUY!" Neal yelled and I could hear him coming for Everest.
"NO! NO! NO! NO! YOU'LL KILL HER! THIS POOR GIRL WILL DIE AS SOON AS YOU TAKE MY CRYSTAL FROM HER!" Everest shrieked. I widened my eyes and slowly sunk down. Whoa... Why did I come back?
"COME BACK HERE! I WANT YOU MALE AGAIN!" Neal yelled.
"Silas," I heard quickly before arms wrapped around me and gave me a hug. "Great. You can help me deal with what's down stairs," Lyle purred out in my ear. I yelped and then struggled to get away then relaxed as I looked towards him.
"Lyle, don't sneak up on me like that," I told him then frowned.
"Nah," he purred as he let me go. "Come downstairs with me." He yanked me towards the dungeon doors quickly. I widened my eyes.
"Lyle, I have Baby with me. Where's Milo? I want him to babysit Baby if I'm going down there," I told him. He paused.
"I think he's in our room on his laptop," Lyle said and let me go. "Meet me downstairs when you give Baby to him." I nodded then kissed his cheek with a sweet purr before I bounced off, going to Lyle's room.
"Alright Baby, I want you to behave but make Milo fall in love with you so that way he'll have his own kids one day," I told Baby and laughed as I gently pulled him off my shoulder. He purred as he closed his eyes, already going to take a nap. I smiled and then busted into Lyle's bedroom. "Oh Milo~ I have a job for you~!" He looked up from the bed where he was on his laptop then blushed, quickly shutting it.
"What?" He asked, sitting up with a flustered look. What the hell was he doing?
"Milo, what was that?" I asked, giving him a frown as I walked up.
"N-nothing... I was just... looking at getting Lyle a gift for our next date.... I figured I should get him something he'd like to surprise him," he told me and blushed. "Don't tell Lyle." I laughed and relaxed, shaking my head.
"Oh that's all?" I asked him. His blush deepened and he nodded.
"Yeah, that's all I was doing," he told me and rubbed the back of his neck.
"What was it?" I asked curiously, sitting down beside him.
"A special brand of chocolate I found that has blood in the center for vampires.... It's on a hidden website," he told me and bit his bottom lip. "I thought it would be romantic." I widened my eyes. Whoa... that sounds really good. I should do that to Rei!
"You should send me the link," I purred to him and winked at him then sat Baby down on his shoulder.
"I will," he said sweetly then looked at Baby in delight. "Hey little guy~"
"Babysit him for me tonight," I told him then leaned in and kissed Milo's cheek. "You're so sweet to my brother.... Sometimes you're a little too good for him." I smirked then got to my feet and started for the door. "You should also get him a bouquet of silver roses. He loves those."
"I-I will," he told me softly then watched as I left. I smirked and went downstairs to the basement and straight up to Lyle. Oh he's going to be so surprised and be so happy to get what Milo is getting him. I won't tell, but I'll tease.
"I know something you don't know," I said in a sing songy voice to Lyle as I approached him with a huge smile. He frowned as he looked me over.
"What would that be?" He asked.
"Oh nothing much," I purred and then grabbed his hand. "Milo is just too good for you though."
"What?" He asked and growled. "He's mine so stay away from him."
"No way! I don't want Milo," I told him and wrinkled my nose. "I have Rei! Ew! No!" I shook my head then looked him over. "I'm just saying... he's so sweet to you though and you don't even know...."
"What're you talking about!?" He asked and hissed. "Stop talking about Milo. He's all the man I need."
"Oh, he better be because if you ever break his heart, I'm going to get you," I warned him then smirked. "He really loves you." Lyle growled and glared me down.
"Get out of my love life." I laughed then kissed his cheek.
"Awww, I'm going to use what he's doing for Rei though. Anyways, let's go talk to my fledgling, shall we?" I asked then started for Lavender's cell.
"What's he doing?" Lyle asked and grabbed my arm. I laughed and looked at him.
"He's getting you something special for your next date," I told him then smiled sweetly at him. "You'll be head over heels, but I can't tell you what it is or else you won't be surprised and I'll ruin Milo's special surprise for you."
"He's not supposed to do that," Lyle grumbled. "I'm supposed to make the night special. He's in trouble." He lead me to the cell then. I frowned.
"You don't want to make him in trouble," I told him and sighed. "He's just getting you a present. That's all. He wanted to get you something for being such a great boyfriend."
"I know... but he has his own date to plan out. He's interrupting my proposal plans."
"Oh come on," I sighed out. "What he's getting you doesn't interrupt a thing that you're planning. Trust me. It's rather small. It's just something he knows you'd enjoy. You could easily get rid of it in minutes, and it'd please him to see you enjoy it. Don't get him in trouble while you're proposing to him. That's mean... especially with what he's getting you." If Rei got me chocolates with blood inside... I'd never let him go. I'd follow that man anywhere- even in his sacred bathroom.
"Silas.... I want to be the one spoiling him on our date that I plan..." He pouted then. "He's acting unfair. I want to spoil him... Not be spoiled. Come on and let's get this done," he dragged me into her cell then. I smirked then kissed his cheek.
"Alright, I'll be a sweet brother and convince him to put it off till your birthday," I suggested. "He'd fall for it and postpone what he's getting you and then you can spoil him instead of him spoiling you." I'm so ordering some for Rei~! I wonder if I can actually just make them.... Then I can give him some when I get back to him tonight... and he can enjoy it sooner.... I purred then walked past him, going up to Lavender who was chained down to a chair. "Hello Lavender," I purred to her then looked her over. "How are you feeling? Are you starved? I think we'll get you a little blood to keep you sane." Lavender glanced at me before frowning.
"Oh it's you... This chair hurts my neck." She said calmly. Lyle closed the door calmly. I looked her over then sighed before I glanced towards the chain hook up on the floor then unchained her from it and connected her to the floor on a short leash so she could walk a few inches.
"There, you may walk about a little," I told her and got rid of the chair, moving it to the side of the room. "I'm not that heartless to keep you chained up to a singular chair forever."
"Thanks," she said softly and stretched her limbs. "I was getting bored to death looking at the shadows on the wall." She let out a small yawn before exposing her fangs.
"We'll get you a little blood after you answer our questions for tonight," I told her, being businesslike the best I could as I stared at my new fledgling. I frowned a little, feeling a little strange that I wasn't going to be taking care of this one even though I knew that I wouldn't be before I turned her. Maker feelings are weird.... "That's all though... and we might chain you down to the bed with a short leash so you can move a few feet but no more than that," I told her then crossed my arms.
"I don't want your blood," she hissed out. "I rather have some vodka. Maybe even a long island ice tea." She glanced me over. "Let's get down to business. I'm not in the mood for chit chat." I nodded at her then uncrossed my arms.
"You can start by telling us why a vampire hunter such as yourself took over the vampire resistance and what you planned to do with it." I told her firmly. "Then you can tell me where the next meeting is for the leaders. I'm going to return to my rightful place."
"Okay." She purred. "You're not going to like my answers." She let out a small chuckle. "One. Why a vampire hunter like myself took over the vampire resistance is none of your fucking business. Two. It's none of your fucking business what I planned to do with it. Three. The next meeting for the leaders is classified and is none of your fucking business. Oh wait, I'm not done. Even if I did know the date of our next meeting.... I wouldn't fucking tell you because it's none of your- well you get the jist." She chuckled darkly. "Now.... As my remaining number, I'm pretty sure it's not your rightful place since you've made it clear to me...." She looked over Lyle. "That you're best buds still with pretty boy over there. So go fuck off and quit wasting my time.... Better yet, I'm late for my demon overthrowing so why don't we skip this and get me on my trip down south." I frowned at her. Well, if she wasn't a vampire hunter and I had met her awhile ago, we'd be the best of friends. I shook my head and sighed.
"I want you to mate reject my sister," I told her calmly, deciding not to say anything about what she said yet. "She deserves to not suffer by knowing her mate is down here, so I need you to mate reject her so that way she can move on quicker." No way in hell am I letting my sister get near Lavender's influence.
"What? Oh...." She laughed. "No thanks. I want to drag out at least someone's suffering before I go." She crossed her arms. "That's my mate up there and she's going to have one hell of a self pity party. I hope you're prepared to give her tissues." I clenched my jaw then smacked her hard, making her head whip to the side then gripped her jaw and ripped one of her fangs out.
"You bitch," I hissed under my breath. "How could you ever say something like that about your mate? You're horrible. That's supposed to be your destined lover that's supposed to bring you so much joy and love and understanding that you'll feel whole and loved for eternity," I snarled at her. "You're scum for wishing something like that on your mate. You're going to mate reject her out of respect for her feelings! She tried to help you escape even though she knew what you had done! I'll make your sad existence Hell until you do and won't let you die- I'll break every bone in your body again and again and again."
"And that will only hurt her even more," she purred to me and spit out some of her blood at me that was pouring from where I took her fang. She gave me an amused look. "I don't care. Vampires..." She shook her head. "I'm not even going to get started on that subject. Looks like I found my leverage though. She's going to be locked onto me until she rejects me because I certainly won't do that to her. I rather die than reject her. Looks like this is a funny circle." I frowned at her then shook my head.
"You're such a leech," I told her then looked towards Lyle. "Go get Esther. This is going to end tonight that way our sister can move on. I don't want Esther to suffer because of Lavender. I'd rather her get all the pain done in one go and be able to recover quicker."
"At least I don't go around sucking blood," Lavender purred out in amusement. "That's your job." I rolled my eyes.
"Just go get her Lyle," I whispered then looked at Lavender with disgust. She has absolutely no respect for Esther.... Lyle stepped out of the room then.
"Silas...." Lavender hissed out. "You sure do know how to waste my time. Don't you think it will hurt more making her reject me?"
"It will, but it'll be a quick blip in her existence rather than knowing her mate is down here being tortured and then eventually hear her mate's screams when her brother gets his revenge and feeds her to the wolves. She'd have nightmares for the rest of her life... and after she's through with rejecting you, I'm sending her off to a relative to recover away from here," I told her and crossed my arms.
"A werewolf's dinner?" Lavender asked. "Well.... That's mighty high. At least my body won't rot in a box." She stretched again. "That might be a good show." I looked at her then frowned a little.
"Yeah... at least your body won't rot somewhere," I mumbled to her then sighed. "I don't think it will be good show though. I might convince my brother to shoot you first. You still are one of my fledglings," I told her then sighed. "A werewolf tearing you apart is one of the more horrible ways to die." Esther walked in slowly then looked behind her worriedly at Lyle then at me before her eyes landed on Lavender. Lavender's eyes landed on Esther before she gave her a smile.
"Don't mind the blood. Silas was just fucking with me," Lavender said calmly. "Come in and stay awhile. I heard it's going to be entertaining." Lyle stepped in and closed the door behind them. I caught Lavender checking my sister out then. Esther looked towards the blood with wide eyes then at me with horror before she looked at Lyle.
"I don't want to be down here," she said quickly and started for the door. "I'm not staying here if you two are going to torture her in front of me!" Lyle stopped her quickly.
"Silas wants you to reject Lavender," Lyle whispered. Her eyes looked towards me in shock then looked at Lavender.
"Y-you want me to what?!" She asked me then gave me an angry look. "Silas, this isn't fair at all! You have your mate! Lyle has his little fledgling to love! Sylar had Colsin! Everest has his mate! I have no one! NO ONE! How could you all be so selfish?! Everyone else has at least loved once! I haven't!"
"So you expect Sylar to sit back and let you love the one who murdered his mate?" Lyle asked. "What do you think he's going to say or do when he finds out?"
"I'll be fine. Just think of it this way.... You'll find another cute mate to be with that doesn't have a backstory as good as mine." Lavender purred. I sighed then watched as Esther started to cry. Maybe this is asking too much from her. I walked up to her and pulled her into a hug and kissed the top of her head.
"I'm sorry Esther.... I really am, but she has hurt so many people, and she would hurt you too if she got the chance," I whispered to her the brushed her hair over her ear comfortingly. "You deserve so much better than what fate gave you to deal with. You deserve someone who would do anything for you, someone who would lavish their affections on you daily- not someone who would use you and hurt you without any consideration about how you feel. You should be their princess to them, their beloved. You have such a sweet spirit Esther, and you have given so much to all of us all your life. You were there for Lyle when I wasn't, and you have been such a loving and kind sister to me since I came back from the dead... but listen to me on this, you do not want to be mated to her. She isn't what you deserve at all, and I doubt that even if she was free to do as she pleased, she would treat you as her mate, not a beast she hunts. Her kind does not understand our kind well nor do they mate well with our kind either. She is a hunter and always will be.
I don't want to see you get hurt by hanging onto something that will only end in tears no matter what you do." I tilted her chin to make her look up at me then gave her a small smile as I wiped her tears away. "You don't need a mate to have love Esther. Love is what you make it. Look at Lyle. He is heads over heels in love with an innocent little vampire that isn't his mate. You don't have to wait for your mate to be happy, and he is living proof. Until you find that happiness, you have all of us to lean on," I purred softly then kissed her cheek. "Sylar probably feels a little bad about what he plans to do, but please forgive him because he loved Colsin so very much and he was ripped away from him so suddenly by Lavender's bullet, and she's killed countless others too. She would kill you if she had the chance too." Esther sniffled and looked up at me, but I could see the understanding in her eyes before she gave a slight nod and hid her face into my chest.
"It's just not fair," she whispered to me and hugged me tightly.
"No, it's not fair to you," I mumbled then kissed the top of her head. "I wouldn't ask you to mate reject her unless it was for your well-being though." She nodded slowly and tightened her grip on me.
"It's not fair at all," Lavender agreed as she stood there, watching. "You do deserve so much more than what I'm offering. A sweet eye candy like you needs a prince charming riding up to her on a white steed... and I can't offer that." She walked up towards Esther and snatched her from me. "But I can offer you something better. Something you deserve from me at least. Now, I'm not sure what to say so bare with me on this. I don't know much about your blood thirsty kind when it comes to mate rejections. So. I lavender Rosary hear by reject you Miss Eye Candy." She looked towards me then. "I hope you're happy, Silas." She broke out into quite a thunder of laughter then. "You got what you wanted.... A broken hearted sister.... Who just got her heart bashed in by her only mater she'll ever know." She threw Esther towards me harshly, throwing my balance off before she snapped her ankle and slipped off the chain around it I put on her. Lyle dashed at her quickly, realizing what she was doing. My fledgling was quick though in response- true vampire instincts kicking in and prepared for his attack.
As Lyle neared her while I was stumbling backwards with Esther's weight falling with me, Lavender rushed Lyle. The two of them crashed bodies quickly as she wasted no time in showing her true hunter talents, not wasting a second as she showed off, distracting him by taking his fingers and snapping one while going for his neck with her other hand and snapped it. She side stepped him as he fell limp then came for me, yanking Esther off just as I fell. She stepped on me quickly, popping her ankle back in place before stomping my body in. She grabbed my arms quickly, yanking them upwards. I heard a crack as my lower half of my body fell limp. She looked at me in pain before smirking. Her eyes looking down at her healing ankle.
She looked towards my throat quickly and stomped in my voice box, smashing it to make sure I couldn't give her a command. She stepped off me and turned towards my broken hearted sister- weakened by the release of being mated to Lavender. She walked around my sister's body laying on the floor- a cruel smile grew before hunger stuck her face. It must be from the smell of blood in the air. She leaned over and yanked Esther up by her hair, running her other hand down to one of Esther's pressure points on her neck and my sister quickly fell limp to the touch. She dragged Esther towards me then, a wild look forming in her eyes.
"As if... I could ever love something like you...." Lavender snarled in her ear. She looked towards me then. "Silas.... You made me something I despise...." She held Esther out over my healing- paralyzed body. She dug her nails into Esther's throat and crushed it quickly, letting the blood drain out and drip onto my face. Lavender's body shuttered in delight and she leaned in, smelling the blood. Her tongue found it's way out with the one fang she had left. She leaned in towards her neck where the blood hadn't reached and licked it. I heard her moan uncontrollably.
"I'm so fucking hungry...." She yanked her head back quickly with force before dropping my sister on the ground, a disgusted look growing. "I can't." she told herself before leaning into her own wrist. She quickly snatched her fang and ripped it out, tossing it to the ground. "I'm not like you," she hissed towards us. "I never.... Want to be like you." She looked down at Esther with a look of despair. She leaned down and ripped a hole into my sister's shirt before tearing out her crystal and crushed it over my face.
Lavender looked at her own chest then before edging her hand up her shirt. She walked towards the center of the room and fell to her knees. I could smell her blood as she reached into her chest and yanked out her heart with force before falling over- going unconscious.
I widened my eyes in horror as I heard her body thud on the floor then felt my crystal pulse in pain at the scent of my sister's bloody corpse decaying quickly, the fine broken crystal pieces on my face pulsing in one last rise of panic until it stopped and fell dead for good. I felt my body aching, begging to be able to move. My throat felt like it was on fire as it raced to fix itself along with the rest of my body, the pain coming to me quickly as everything dawned on me at once. My sister.... I gave a choked cry, the sound coming out like a wounded, dying animal that had been attacked by wolves. She can't be.... I gritted my teeth and struggled to sit up, wanting to hold my sister and find her smiling up at me, but my body refused to let me move, feeling heavy like a coffin to me. Lyle... I looked out of the corner of my eyes in panic and saw him laying there, limp as his eyes stared out at a wall with his neck broken. I winced and then felt my fingers twitch as I struggled against the suffocating body I was being held in, trying to gain my dominance back. I felt my crystal start to boil in anger then as it registered everything that had happened, burning in my chest as my vision started to go red with rage. She killed my sister... and could've killed my brother....
I found myself over Lavender's body in seconds, grabbing her by her neck as I sunk my fangs into her shoulder and then ripped a chunk of flesh out savagely. I started to feast on her blood quickly as my hunger kicked in and I drained her of everything she had, my body aching but refreshed at the same time. I threw her away from me in disgust then got to my feet, stomping down on her chest. "Bitch," I hissed at her. "You killed my sister!" I threw her into a wall then snarled before I froze and looked back at my sister's bloody remains, seeing she had been reduced to a pile of goo. No... I stumbled over to her then and knelt down by her then felt my eyes start to sting as they blurred. How could she be dead? She had so much more to do in this world.... My little sister.... I whimpered a little then looked towards the pieces of her broken crystal and reached for them, my eyes widening as the movement caused them to break even more, falling through my fingers. "E-Esther...." I started to cry and gripped my pants leg, my head hanging over as I closed my eyes, not wanting to see it. I never should've called her down here.... She's dead because of that hunter!
