Those three words had such power over Victoria. She felt a rush of tingles as he said he loved her. She couldn’t be anymore lucky to have the vampire Lord’s love, rather than just his desire for her blood. She bid him a goodbye blown kiss from her hand before he shut the door behind him. She then turned and leaned her back against the door, sighing contently. She wore a soft smile on her face and her cheeks felt flushed. She stared dreamily off into the distance for a few minutes thinking about Vail. She missed him already.

She ventured up to her room to get some much-needed sleep before training resumed tomorrow. She would keep herself busy until she saw Vail again in three days. She felt giddy knowing Vail vowed to protect her from Spencer. Instead of planning her wedding to Vail, she was training for an upcoming battle with the Wynter clan. She didn’t exactly live a normal life to any other noblewoman.

It was nearly five am when there was a loud bang at the front door. Victoria awoke with a contorted expression. “What in the name of God…?” She sighed as there was no servants in to get the door. More banging ensued as she put on her long dressing gown and slippers. “Hold on!” She shouted as she hobbled down the stairs sleepily. She got to the door and shouted. “Who is it?”

“Ray and Gerald! Open up it’s pissing it down!” Gerald shouted back through the wooden double doors. Victoria sighed and opened the door to the two drowned rats. “Do you know what time it is?”

“Five am.” Ray declared as he rushed past with what looked like a tiny scroll that a carrier pigeon used. “The Wynters have landed in Southampton, sooner than we expected.” He warned her as her expression turned to worry. “Really? That means they’ll be here within two day or so at their speed of travel on foot.” She knew the speed of vampires from learning more about them.

“We have no time to prepare. We must put our plan into action.” Gerald stated as Victoria put her hand to her temple in frustration. “I thought we had weeks to prepare, not days…” She sighed and looked up at them both. “So what is the plan? Run, hide or fight?” She asked and folded her arms.

“The plan is to fight with a back up to run and escape to your aunt’s manor in Scotland.” Ray revealed and beckoned her to follow him to her kitchen. He got out a map of London. “We’ll set up the first defence perimeter here along London Bridge. Then the second defence line here at Waterloo, the third here at Piccadilly Circus and the final on the outskirts before reaching Crest Manor.” He pointed out some markings at the locations. “And we’ll set up a trap for the rest that filter through the defence lines.” Gerald added. “With fire, brimstone and lots of silver.”

“Shouldn’t we let the Hygrace’s know? I’m sure Vail will help us fight.” Victoria suggested.

“We don’t need that vampire to fight our battles.” Gerald snorted and she sighed at him.

Victoria blushed with coyness as Vail laced his fingers with hers and declared she was his. In a more formal fashion. He made his feelings perfectly clear to his own family before and now to his future mother in law, she hoped, at least. She was grateful that her mother was so accepting of him and took it so well but then again, she saw the horrors Lord Spencer had put her through.

As Victoria escorted Vail to the door, she smiled upon hearing his intentions were to keep loving her. She could not ask for more than that. Other than a gesture of commitment in the form of an engagement ring. Which would enrage his father, of course. She sighed when Vail expressed, he didn’t have any kind of plan to win over Peter. Only time would tell. Or if the Wynters made a move on them. So, it was settled then, they would wait until the Wynters were dealt with. And that meant more training with the Order. Victoria wasn’t going down without a fight. She only latched her hand tightly around Vail’s cooler skinned hand.

She received his kiss with a soft sigh, she loved the feeling of his lips upon her porcelain skin. She swooned as he called her ‘his love’ for the very first time. She never thought two words would melt her heart so much than those he spoke. She smiled brightly when he declared he was going to fight for her, for them both to be together. She almost gasped at the mention he wanted to make her his fiancé and wife in the future, her cheeks flushed bright red. “I do trust you, Vail. With my life, my soul and my heart.” She revealed softly. She was happy he wasn’t going to let his father win in his decision to keep them apart.

“Once we deal with the Wynters and when everything has calmed down, we can discuss our future…” She didn’t want to add ‘if she lived’ at the end of the sentence. She didn’t want to think about that. “So I shall see you in three days’ time?” She confirmed his plan. She knew he was still sneaking out of his manor house and keeping his rendezvous with his lover a secret from his father. “I’ll miss you, until then I shall be waiting.” She tiptoed up to peck his lips gently with her ruby ones. As she released his lips, she grinned at him. “My love.”

Victoria turned just as Vail came out to greet the two women. Diana looked up at him. “Lord Hygrace.” She could not smell the pheromones in the air, but she wasn’t one to judge as she was just as Victoria in her youth when around a handsome man…or vampire. “I fear your father has a severe case of stubbornitis. I hope you can convince him further or your family might be in very real danger because of your attachment to my daughter.” She held Victoria’s hand gently. “Spencer will come for her again.” She anxiously expressed with solemn eyes.

Victoria gazed downward. “I will not let him have me without a fight.” She squeezed her mother’s hand. “And Vail wont either.” She looked up at Vail with hope flickering behind her eyes as she reached her free hand out toward him for strength and support. She just hoped the Order were ready for the Wynter’s arrival. “He is no longer my fiancé. I renounced his proposal officially and cancelled all the wedding plans.” Their engagement was officially off. She hoped this made Vail happy that she was officially a free woman to make her own decision. And she chose to be with Vail.

“I hope that…once this is all over…that your father with come to accept us...” Victoria’s tone squeaked a little. Diana nodded. “I accept you both. I know love’s young dream when I see it. You remind me of me and your father.” Diana smiled at Victoria. “And if they don’t accept you as their daughter in law. Then more fool them.” She stroked her cheek softly as Victoria nodded sadly. She was sure Vail saw her worth even if she were a lowly human. “You are welcome here with us, Vail.” She told him firmly before bowing to him and retiring for the evening. Victoria smiled at Vail brightly. Now he would know where she had got her grace and beauty, her kind and soft heart from. Whereas her bravery, wit and stubbornness she received from her father.

She escorted Vail down to the front door. She opened it for him as she knew it was time for him to return to his manor. "So...what are your intentions, Lord Hygrace? With your family and the next move with your father at least?" She wondered what his plan was. She knew his intentions with her were to stay by her side throughout this whole ordeal. Even at the risk of losing his family. She hld onto his hand as long as she could before he had to leave her.

Well today was bloody hectic! I had to move desks. A co-worker left and I'm picking up the slack AND I'm studying Biology now and its hard going so not sure when I'll get the time and energy to post yet!

Lady Crest welcomed Lord Hygrace’s hands on her curvy hips and she slid one hand down his lean torso to caress his skin tenderly. She still couldn’t believe what started out as a classical dance evolved into the forbidden lover’s journey. Victoria smiled at Vail and wrapped her arms around his neck. “You make it so easy to know what to do..” Of course, she was inexperienced in the ways of intimacy and Vail had been her very first sexual encounter. And somewhere deep down, Victoria hoped her last when they would be together for as long as she lived.

“You don’t have to climb through my window, you’re always welcome here.” She nuzzled her nose against his cheek playfully. For Vail he didn’t have to hide his affections for the Crest heiress in the Crest household. “Although, you best put your clothes back on and look decent in front of my mother.” She chuckled and let him get changed back into his dry clothes. She walked out of the bathroom with her wet hair pinned up. She received her mother just outside her bedroom wearing only her bathrobe.

“Well? How did your talk with Peter go?” Victoria was eager to find out how it went. Diana merely shook her head. “He did not take any of our information to heart. He will not get involved.”

“Just as we thought…” Victoria sighed along with her mother. “I saw the young Lord Hygrace depart upon my arrival. I take it he came to visit?” Diana commented just as Victoria glanced back at her bedroom door. “Yes. He’s just changing.” She made no effort to cover up her new bite mark and Diana frowned and with sad eyes brushed her fingers against the wound. “It doesn’t hurt, mother.” Victoria stated.

“Darling, you must be careful though. You could get another infection.” She knew full well how irresistible her blood was to vampires. “I’ll keep it clean, mother.” Victoria insisted with a nod and Diana winced at this. “Ensure that you do…although I am not overly fond of him still feeding from your blood and putting you at risk like that. What are his intentions? Is he going to marry you or just keep using you as his personal bloodbag?” She had thought Vail wouldn’t be like Francois. Victoria brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear and blushed bright red, she knew Vail could hear all this. “I…don’t know.” She admitted the truth, she did not know of Vail’s intentions. “But what I do know is that he has vowed not to leave me and that he loves me.”

Diana sighed. “But you are being careful, aren’t you?” She asked in a low tone. Victoria blinked at her. Did she also know of the dangers of intimacy between a vampire and a human? Victoria appeared anxious and looked down sheepishly. “Oh darling, why did you not tell me sooner?” Diana appeared even more worried and took her hands. “You risk becoming pregnant, you understand that don’t you?” Diana firmly gripped her daughter’s hands pleadingly. “I didn’t know we could reproduce as two different species.” She admitted. “But…how do you know of this mother?”

Diana shifted on her feet. “I just know someone whom it happened to and I don’t want it to happen to you.”

Vail had a point. It only might just happen. However, if it did then they would be at a disadvantage the rest of their lives, and as he put it, very alone. Their child would suffer. It just wasn’t worth that risk. Not until they were sure their union was approved by both families. A half breed would not be accepted right now. Perhaps if they were married, it would in time? Victoria had a good grasp of human anatomy enough to work out her fertility cycle. She was supposed to be in the middle of it right now, but she had also missed her last period, which she thought was due to the blood drain. If she were pregnant upon their first encounter at the inn, surely the foetus would not have survived her ordeal. Her body would be too weak to carry it. She knew her mother had a few miscarriages before Victoria was born. It was a precarious thing, carrying life. However, she could fall pregnant now she was better.

At the mention that Vail wasn’t as sexually driven as mortal men, and it made sense that the drive to procreate quickly wasn’t as vital to a vampire. Although, it may ought to be if their numbers were indeed dwindling. She didn’t care if he wasn’t interested in intimacy or not, but she was rather enjoying their amorous activities. It had been the first time she’d felt alive. She smiled warmly as he confessed his love for her again and leaned on his chest when he wrapped his arm around her. A soft sigh escaped her lips. It was still nice to cuddle. She noted he did not wish to keep her at arm’s length for fear she might fall pregnant. That meant he didn’t not want to be intimate ever again with her, which made her heart swell.

They would have to be careful, she nodded in agreement at that. She looked up into the lad’s eyes when he declared he would not leave her. Whatever happens, he would be there. And that is all she could truly ask of him. Even if they were unfortunate to birth a child together and be shunned forever. At least they would have each other. Adoption certainly would not be an option. No vampire would take it, no human would want to raise a predator. The Order would destroy it as an abomination that went against everything they stood for. Their only choice would be to flee. It was not worth risking right now. So intercourse would be off the table now she knew the full details. Hopefully Vail would be able to sense her pheromones to know when she was in her fertile window.

She loved the feeling that Vail had a certain possessiveness over her. It made her feel giddy inside. Her smile transformed into a grin after she pecked his cheek sweetly in admiration for his promise. “You know...there are other ways to be intimate…” She teased as she leaned in to kiss him.

They both dried off with their towels and Victoria wrapped her hair in another smaller towel like a turban with strands of brunette curls peaking out along her face. She smiled at Vail with pink flushed cheeks. “You know, for a man who claims to have not been with a woman in a century…you certainly know what you are doing.” She winked playfully. She fastened the towel around her torso and approached him slowly, sliding her hands up along his bare biceps. “When will we see each other again?” She asked as she heard the front door go. Obviously, her mother had returned. She was eager to find out what had occurred at the Hygrace manor.

The cure to senioritis is all about motivation. Keep a positive attitude through the end and keep reminding yourself of your end goal! Or so says Almighty Google. I still have 4.5 years to go, even longer if I get this promotion and have to study for a NEBOSH and having to take a year out of my studies >.<
