A/N: This is the revised version of Flowers that Wilt in the Sun. After much debate with Brother Bludgeon, we decided to change things to make the story better. Enjoy!

Flowers that Wilt in the Sun

Prologue

Once upon a time long ago, there was born a daughter to a vampire king. She was given everything she ever wanted and was very spoiled. Her father used werewolves as servants because they were often very poor and thus considered a lower class. The king's daughter loved to make her werewolf servants do ridiculous and laborious tasks. One day, as she pushed her "favorite" around, he collapsed and returned to his human form out of exhaustion. Horrified, she ran to him to make sure he was all right. As she got closer, she noticed he was very handsome. She brought him back to health much to his surprise.

"Why did you help me?" he asked.

The daughter looked away, ashamed. "I felt badly for how I've treated you."

The two looked into each other's eyes and instantly felt a connection. The werewolf continued to serve the king's daughter, this time taking pleasure in his work as she had become a more benevolent master. They soon fell in love, but kept their romance a secret due to their difference in class. Everything was wonderful for them until she found out she was pregnant. To prevent her father from finding out, she moved to one of the king's castles that he had abandoned. Nine months later the king's daughter gave birth to a son and the lovers were happy.

Several years passed and the king came to visit his daughter without warning. The daughter greeted her father. "F-Father, I didn't expect you to be here," she said as she tried to stay calm.

"Mama!" His daughter turned as she saw her son run to greet her and Dracula got a good look at his hybrid grandchild.

Just then the daughter's werewolf lover came in. "Forgive me, my love, he didn't know where you were-" The lover froze as he saw Dracula stand before him.

It was then the king realized what had happened between them and became furious. "You defiled yourself, and with this... mongrel! You shame and disgrace this house!" In his rage, he struck his daughter and she fell to the ground.

"Mama!" the child screamed. Angry at the man who had struck his mother, the child changed into his hybrid form and attacked the king.

The daughter got up and saw her child fighting her father and rushed to protect her child as she attacked the king. Dracula threw her yet again, this time against a wooden chair and she hit it with enough force to break it. As she fell, she landed on one of the broken shards of wood, stabbing her in the heart. Dracula stared in horror at what he had done as the werewolf lover charged at the king.

"Murderer!" he roared as he shifted into his werewolf form and attacked the king.

In order to defend himself, the king punched the lover, picked up a crossbow that hung on the wall, and shot it at the lover, killing him instantly.

"Papa!" the child screamed in horror, having witnessed his parents' deaths.

The hybrid child lunged at the king as he bit, clawed, and tore at him. It wasn't until Dracula ripped the hybrid's heart out was he able to defeat him.

When his fellow vampires found him, he was very weak for his wounds from the hybrid would not heal. Reluctantly, he exposed his wounds to sunlight and only after the skin had burned enough did the wounds heal.

The king scowled. "No abomination like that should ever exist again," he growled. That night he sent letters to all the vampire clans with a new law: Vampires and werewolves were forbidden to be together and furthermore, all werewolves were to be killed. The clans didn't understand this new law, but obeyed the king's orders regardless.

As time passed and technology advanced, so did the war against the two races. The werewolves fought back just to stay alive. Soon, it didn't matter why the vampires were attacking them; all the werewolves knew was that they had to fight fire with fire.

To be continued...

A/N: For those of you wondering why I revamped this story, the story I had before had become so complex with Ocs (mostly Mary-Sues), I had to get rid of them and start over. Also, I didn't give the daughter, her lover, or their child names because they die and it would be irrelevant. Special thanks to Brother Bludgeon for all his help with this story!
