Vlad took my wrist and offered me his. I offered because it would boost his abilities. I wanted him to have options on how to permanently end his ex that obviously aided in Elena's capture, but he offered me his out of trust.
That says something because he's like Vincent and trusts very few. So I take it and bite down. I don't need much because it's nighttime because the power of the moon strengthens me just as the warmth of the sun heals and replenishes me.
His blood is strong…stronger than
Eric's but not as strong as Vincent's. I wonder if that means something. Also, the taste is similar but Vlad's has an
earthy, smokey undertone. Since they have the same Sire, shouldn't their blood be nearly identical?
Vlad hums as he drinks. I sigh because that could pose a problem later. What happened when Vincent got carried away could happen again if I'm not
careful. I let go of his wrist and pierced my finger so it bleeds and then pressed it to my bite mark. It heals instantly. After a few seconds he lets go of my
wrist and I heal myself.
Vlad nods with satisfaction, “Thank you.”
I smile as I see his eyes begin to swirl, “It's working. Whatever comes to mind, try it, at least that's what I do.”
All of the guys decide to voice their opinions and I just giggle with shrug.
“Unless you're distracted and set shit on fire!” Vincent teases.
Sam grins, “Or shoot off bolts of lightning.”
Eric snickers, “Or make an earthquake.”
I shake my head, “Learning curve is a bitch, guys!”
Vlad grins with pride, “No that's you!”
I wink, “And rightfully so!”
Vlad cracks his neck, “Well let's see what I can do now!”
Vlad, with eyes glowing like burning embers, looks at Natasha as he points to her left leg. Instantly, lines of bright gold
start to form on her leg and pulse to an imaginary beat. Beams of light shoot out just before her leg turns to ash.
I grin at him, “Nice fire within!”
Cockily he says, “There's more!”
He levitates her and then breaks off her other leg as she screams, “No…no please…..I'll do anything. I'll take you to
Merdon!”
Vlad glances at me and smiles before he directs his cold gaze and terse tone to Natashia, “Oh Eva already has. You have nothing of use to me Natashia and you never really had. I used Elena in the beginning but came to love her. Love is something you know nothing of Natashia. If you did, you'd have stayed gone and never gave your soul to Merdon! Eva here I couldn't use if I tried. She simply won't allow it. Instead she has given me back hope and the chance to right a few of my wrongs. She's giving me the chance at redemption, something I never knew I wanted until now.
I should've ended Merdon centuries ago but I was too prideful to make sure that he died in the flames of my rage. I'm not going to make that same mistake! So goodbye Natashia and good riddance!”
His eyes begin to rapidly swirl to add some green and blue hues with that blazing ember sparkle from before. It really is beautiful! When I look away from my mate, I see a fissure forming at Natashia’s feet. A flaming hand grabs her as she stands there screaming in anguish and her body writhes a washed in flame before becoming ash.
“A bit flashy but it'll do!” I announce. We all laugh.
I snap my fingers as I say, “Now let me clean up your mess.” Now it looks like nothing happened except for her pile of ash you'd be none the wiser.
“Show off!” Vincent snorts.
I wink, “Jealous.”
Vincent chuckles, “Never!”
Artemis says, “Well, we have much so research to do. If I hadn't seen it, I'd never have believed it!”
As I extend my hand to shake Artemis’s I nod, “Welcome to the seeing is believing club. Population those in this room plus a pack of werewolves and Katie!”
We all laugh and then I say, “I'm hungry!”
Sam smiles as he shakes his head, “Of course you are!”
I pat my stomach, “Well let's go eat, I need food in my belly!”
