1853
It was a cool and rainy evening in Waterford Ireland, while a turn of events have came. Ace was busily closing shop at the docks while he noticed that a bunch of debris had been floating by. He immediately looked up in curiosity and noticed a young man floating on a piece of wood towards the dock.
Ace panicked and quickly jumped into the water to go save the man. He swam as fast as he could towards the unconscious being and finally caught up to him. Ace then grabbed both of the young man's arms and started to swim him to shore.
As soon as Ace made it to the docks he used all of his strength to push the man onto the wooden planks and then pulled himself up and out of the water himself. Ace allowed out a couple of labored breaths until he immediately turned his attention towards the unconscious man.
"Hey!"
He shouted, as he patted the man's face and started to shake him. "Hey! Wake up!" the man still didn't wake, So Ace started to shake him even harder. "Hey! Wake up damnit wake up!" He shouted, just then the young man immediately rose up and started coughing uncontrollably.
Ace's eyes widened once he saw that the young man had fangs for teeth and claws for fingernails, instantly realizing that this man was indeed a mutant. From what Ace could tell was that he was a rather tall man, with short slicked back brown hair and looked to be in his early twenties.
Once the man's coughing fits has ceased, Ace gave him a concerned look. "Hey mate ya alright? Looks like you were in a bit of trouble there." The man then immediately looked up at Ace and glared over at him. "Yeah just peachy, thanks!" Ace smirked over at the young man and then rose up to his feet. "
Sorry mate probably a stupid question just was worried that you were in some big trouble but now that I see that yer alright why don't we get you some warm clothes and somethin to eat."
The young man arched his brow at the man before him, even though his body wasn't completely affected by the scrapes and cuts that were around his body¸ he still felt it odd that this man before him who probably was not that much older than him was inviting him to his home and was offering him something to eat.
"What's yer name lad?"
The man immediately looked up at him curiously, realizing that blood was starting to roll down his healing cheek. "I'm sorry?" The man gave him a warm smile and held out his hand to him. "I said what's yer name? Bloody hell you must've bumped yer head much harder than I thought." The young man glared over at him, but reluctantly took his hand hoping that his claws will scare his rescuer away.
"The name is Victor."
The man then automatically grinned at him, and pulled him upwards. "Ace." Victor scoffed, as he was now standing on his own two feet. "Ace? What kind of name is that?" Ace chuckled; he placed his hands into his pockets, and noticed that the rain was starting to let up.
"It's my father's lucky card; the day I was conceived he won a large sum of money and insisted that I was his new lucky charm. Hence the name."
Victor couldn't help but smile; it seemed to him that Ace wasn't even affected by his fangs nor his claws. However, he could not sense anything odd about him either, he wasn't a mutant but yet he wasn't afraid either, but he could sense that there was something very peculiar about him. However, if anything he was very accepting and friendly, this was probably the first time Victor had ever experienced acceptance and yet his brother wasn't even around to share it.
"So now that we're formally acquainted mind tellin me what exactly happened to ya?"
Victor sighed, running his clawed fingers through his slicked hair. "My brother and I were trying to travel to London and unfortunately our ship couldn't handle the storm. The captain was trying to make it land but the ship ended up sinking anyways. It was too late." He looked up at Ace, who was frowning, obviously distraught by the idea. "And yer brother? I didn't see him in the water do ya think he's still out there?" Victor shook his head, he knew his brother would be fine after all he had the same healing ability as he and figured that he'd show up eventually. "Nah. Either he managed to save himself or just disappeared." Victor noticed that Ace seemed to be mildly upset with what he heard, but Victor knew better… he knew his brother was going to be fine.
"I'm sorry to hear that… Look mate, why don't ya come to my place and we can get ya into some warm clothes and somethin in your belly."
Victor arched his brow at Ace, it was the second time he offered him over to this place, which made Victor think to himself either this man was way too friendly or was extremely stupid… He guessed that he would just have to find out.
"Why are you inviting a complete stranger to your home?"
Ace shrugged, as he started to walk off. "Guess I'm just too trusting. Or it could be the fact that I just pulled ya out of the water and want to be a nice bloke and offer ya some shelter." Victor couldn't help but smirk as he started to follow after him. He had to admit that the food and shelter sounds very enlightening to him and he figured that if this man overstepped his bounds that he could take him out very easily.
"Well an offer like that how can I refuse."
He grinned, both his fangs very apparent now.

Once Ace and Victor made it to his house, Ace quickly turns around to Victor and gave him a warm smile.
"Now listen mate, my family live in this house and I'm going to try my hardest to convince them to allow you to stay here as long as you need. My real sister probably won't mind, but my step brother and sister probably will. But don't mind them they're nothin but a bunch of spoiled brats, thanks to their bloody mother. But my father you will really like, he's very easy going and is actually a lot like me."
Victor gave him a small smirk and slowly nodded his head, the last thing he needed right now was to live under a roof with two brats, it was bad enough that throughout his entire childhood he was told that he was nothing but a freak, and wouldn't amount to anything but now it was something he least needed to hear from a bunch of ingrate children.
"Well mate let's get in, I bet my sister is cookin something good."
Victor slowly nodded, he was still extremely skeptical of the man before him, but he knew that if anything was to happen to him that he was more than capable of taking care of himself. Ace opened the door to be welcomed by a savoring aroma, Victor as well had to admit that the smell was tantalizing as well.
As they both walked into the house, Victor started to scope out the area and realized that this was a very welcoming home. Even though Ace had mentioned his distaste on his Step family he still had to admit that as soon as he walked into the house that he felt actually safe for once in his life.
Ace led Victor towards the kitchen where they both saw a young woman with her back to them, wearing a light blue dress and her long dark brown hair softly pinned up.
Victor sensed the automatic joy Ace has allowed out and realized that this must be his biological sister. "Evy! How are ya doin luv?" The young woman slowly turned around to smile at her brother; Victor at that moment in time was stunned by her complete beauty. She had the most piercing blue eyes he has ever seen, and the smile she was giving practically lit up the whole room.
It was then that he realized that he had to make her his. "I'm doin well Ace." She said with laughter in her voice, as she walked up and hugged her brother. She then looked over at Victor and gave him the same warm smile. "And may I ask who this may be." Ace cleared his throat and placed his hand on Victor's shoulder.
"Actually dove this bloke is here for a good night's rest and some good food. I pulled him out of the water just recently; he's a survivor of a shipwreck."
His sister gasped, placing her hands up to her mouth. "Bloody Hell Ace! Why didn't ya tell me sooner!? We need to get him some warm clothes before he catches a cold!" Ace chuckled at his sister and nodded his head. "I know that Evangeline, I just wanted to bring him in here to introduce you two and let you know to add another place on the table for our friend here." Evangeline nodded and looked over at Victor with a worried expression on her face. Victor in the mean time was somewhat shocked, no one ever worried about him, his own brother rarely ever did.
"Alright, but let father know that we will be planning on having a guest stay at our place indefinitely."
Ace smirked at his sister and kissed her temple. He knew that as soon as he told her what happened to this man that she'd automatically would want him to stay with them till he gets his feet on the ground. "Already planned onto little sister, just make sure that Jake and Maggie don't get their knickers in a twist and start tellin Meredith our lil plan." Evangeline rolled her eyes and allowed out an irritated sigh, Victor took it as that she shared the same feeling towards her stepfamily as he.
"Don't worry I'll make sure the Royal Children won't sprout a fuss."
Ace chuckled, and looked over at Victor. "Come on mate let's get ya into some warmer clothes." Victor nodded, and gave Evangeline a small smirk as he followed her brother.
Once Ace and Victor were now in his room Ace was then pulling out some clothing for Victor to wear. "Here ya go mate, we're about the same size so you can borrow some of my stuff till we get ya yer own." Victor arched his brow at the black button down shirt, and black slacks that matched them.
Ace noticed the look he was giving at the clothing before him and started to laugh. "Come on now mate they're not gonna bite ya." Victor nodded, as he started to pull off his shirt. "I'll be right outside I need to talk to my father about you stayin with us, just lemme know when yer ready to come down." Victor just silently nodded as he pulled on the black dress shirt. His mind was starting to wander about what happened earlier this evening. The storm was so strong that the ship could barely hold it together, he remembered his brother flying off the ship, even though he tried to save him it was still too late.
He knew that James would be fine; after all he was a fighter and knew that he would probably show up in town in a week or two. He was clearly concerned for his brother, but at the same time he couldn't help but blame him. It was his fault as to why they were fleeing the country, if he just did what he damn well told him they would've never been in this mess.
He then changed out of the wet slacks and pulled on the black ones that were given to him. His mind then started to wander to Evangeline, now he has seen a couple beauties in his lifetime but none of them compared to the one he saw tonight. He couldn't help the smirk that was starting to morph onto his lips as he thought about her.
She was a perfect size to him, a couple inches shorter than he, and wasn't one of those types that demanded to be a rail, she had curves and her body had fit them well. Victor then started to imagine himself running his claws around those said curves; it enlightened him to know that even though it was clear to her that he was a mutant that she was still more than completely welcoming to him.
Once Victor was fully clothed, he looked over at the mirror, and slowly ran his claws to slick his hair back. He noticed the stubble that was starting to form on his cheeks and figured that he'll just leave it for now. He then slowly opened the door, to hear Ace speak with an older man which he assumed was his father.
"Father I literally pulled him out of the water, and he has nowhere else to go! Weren't you the one who always instilled it into Evangeline and I's head that we should not cast away strangers in need?!"
Victor heard the older man sigh, as he leaned against Ace's doorway, listening to the two of them talk in the other room. "I know son I know but think of your mother." Ace then immediately cuts him off. "STEPmother you mean." Victor smirked once he heard that, this woman must be a real trip.
"Yes Ace… Stepmother. But you know how she is and how do the other children feel about this?"
Ace sighed. "Evangeline is insistent in him staying here; I have not talked to Jake nor Maggie about this." The father then spoke, obviously laughter in his voice. "Leave it to Evy to be entirely welcoming. She reminds me so much of your Mother." Ace then chuckled. "That she does, but what I figured father is that he'll be extremely helpful to Uncle Jack, maybe he could work for him for awhile." Victor was somewhat shocked; the little runt was looking for employment for him as well.
"Plus on top of it he can help out at the Dock's as well! You know we can use some more people."
Victor heard the father allow out another sigh, which made him figure that it was a lot harder to so no to his son than usual. "Alright, alright. Only because he is in need of our help and our family could use an extra helping hand as well. He can stay son." Victor couldn't help but smirk once he heard Ace's father agree to his son's plea, and he could sense the complete joy his son was radiating with his father's approval.
"Thank you father! I promise that you will not regret this."
Victor rolled his eyes, this man had way too much confidence in him and that made him feel extremely awkward. He had contemplated on just killing the entire family and make a run for it, but at the same instance he sorta liked the idea of having a home to come to, with a family who welcomes him. Also on top of the whole matter, it didn't help that Ace's little sister was something he wanted to take a great interest in.
His thoughts were then immediately interrupted by a familiar female voice. "You know it's not nice to eves drop on people." Victor arched his brow and looked over at Evangeline who had a conniving smile on her lips. "Well let's just say I'm not a nice guy." Evangeline shrugged, as she looked over at him.
"So what's the verdict?"
Victor shrugged. "Looks like I'm staying." Evangeline smirked, and gently nodded her head. "Well then. We should prepare you a room after supper." She then looked over at the clothing he was wearing and smiled. "You clean up nice, I'll see you downstairs." Victor couldn't help but grin at her as she walked down the stairs.
He sensed her playful demeanor and knew that she was trying to make him feel a little more at home. But the words that she had just said to him somewhat struck him, she was beautiful and probably had a suitor already but hell he didn't care, all he cared about is getting his piece and she would be that said piece.
Ace had now finally came towards him with a large grin on his lips. "Well it's official mate yer gonna stay with us for awhile." Victor nodded at him and gave him a small smile. "Thank you." Ace nodded, and patted him on the shoulder. "No problem mate, now let us get downstairs to tell the rest the good news." Victor gave him a closed mouth smile balancing on the thought of whether to unleash his animal or to keep it inside just for now. He ended up choosing the later though and followed him downstairs.
As they entered the dining room, Victor had seen a young woman with pretty blonde hair and brown eyes, he had to admit that she was quite attractive but nothing compared to the dark haired beauty he had seen earlier. The man sitting beside her must've been her brother for he had the same exact blonde hair and brown eyes. He was smaller than Ace but he could sense the massive ego that was set in place upon this boy.
Victor then noticed an older woman whom he had assumed would be the mother of these stepchildren since she carried the same exact attributes as they. The older gentleman who sat across from them looked exactly like Ace; they resembled each other extremely well with their dark brown hair, brown eyes, and tall stature. He then assumed that Evangeline received her blue eyes from her mother. The older gentleman smiled over at Victor and slowly rose up from his seat. "You must be the young man that Ace had been talking so fondly of." Victor slowly nodded, as he looked at two scowling children.
"Why is he wearing your clothing Ace? Please do not tell me you just pulled some bum off of the streets!"
The older woman said distastefully, which made Victor want to tear her limb from limb. He could feel the rage serge through Ace's body and knew that at that moment in time that Ace looked at him as a friend. "He isn't some bum Meredith he is a survivor from a shipwreck and will be living with us for some time now!" The young man's jaw then dropped.
"I beg your pardon you're just going to allow this complete stranger into our house and soak up our money for his needs! I think not!"
Ace glared over at the young man, Victor on the other hand was completely contemplating of clawing his throat out. "Piss off Jacob! Don't worry about your bloody dollar because Victor is going to come work with me and Uncle Jack!" Obviously now it was the young woman's turn to speak. "I wouldn't mind if he stayed." She said with a devious little smirk, Victor arched his brow at her, sensing her attraction for him which made him somewhat annoyed.
"Nicholas! You don't honestly plan on allowing this do you!?"
Meredith said completely astounded. Nicholas nodded towards his wife and gestured for the two men to sit down. "Yes Meredith I do plan on allowing this boy to stay because our family is not the type of family to shun away those that are in need of our help." He then looked over at Victor and smiled.
"Welcome to our family Victor. May I ask what exactly is your last name?"
Victor looked at the older man astounded, his real father never showed him this much kindness like the kind he is receiving now. "Creed sir. Victor Creed." Nicholas nodded and smiled at him. "Good Strong name for a Strong young man." Victor smiled at Nicholas while suddenly the kitchen doors had open to Evangeline carrying dishes of food into the dining room. "Ah Evy looks absolutely appetizing darling you out did yourself once again dear." Her father said happily, Evangeline smiled at her father as she placed the plates down and then sat in the seat directly across from Victor.
"Thank you papa I have worked very hard on it."
Jake then sneered at her. "Tell me Evy are you also going along with this madness?" Evangeline glared over at Jake, as she settled herself in her seat. "Yes I am going along with this. I do not know where your priorities lie Jacob but mine has always been that if someone is of need your help then you help them and that is final." Ace smirked at his sister, while she winked at him.
"So Victor may I ask if you don't mind as to why you were coming to this part of the country? It is obvious that you are not from around here."
Nicholas asked, as he started to place some food on his plate. Victor looked up at him and gently took the plate from him, his claws scraping against the porcelain. "My Brother and I are originally from Canada but moved to New York and eventually grew tired of living there and decided to move to London. Unfortunately the ship couldn't handle the storm, so the captain tried to make it to the closest part of land but we didn't make it." Victor didn't want to go into detail that the main reason why he and his brother left New York was because they were being hunted down for being mutants and had a warrant out for their arrest around the nation.
He noticed the amused look that was morphing onto Evangeline's face. "You've been to New York!? I've always wanted to go there! Is it all that they say it is?" Victor couldn't help but smile at her enthusiasm; most women of her social level were never that interested in adventures or travels but for some reason this one was.
"It is and more, it's really a beautiful city. There are a lot of colorful people out there."
Evangeline's smile grew even wider as she leaned her body towards him with complete interest. "I always wanted to go and see their theatre! Maybe one day I will." Victor shrugged, giving her such a smug little smirk, that it would make anyone's bones chill. "That could very well possibly be. Why are you so interested in New York?" Evangeline shrugged, while her father looked over at Ace and smirked at him. Ace smirked back understanding what his father was silently telling him.
"I don't know… maybe it's the thought of traveling or the thought of actually getting out of this bloody place. I just want to see the world I guess and experience it's many cultures."
Victor started to snicker, while Jake rolled his eyes. "Oh yes just what we need you traveling around and becoming some little harlot in the mean time. Let this stupid fantasy go Evangeline you know the only future you have is getting married to some wealthy suitor and having about six of his children." Evangeline frowned over at Jacob while Victor, Ace and Nicholas all glared at him.
"You may want to watch your tongue boy before speaking to your sister that way. You do know that I do not condone that sort of talk towards any of your siblings."
Nicholas said sternly, Meredith then glared over at him and crossed her arms. "Now Nicholas he was just trying to give Evangeline a reality check! She needs to learn how to be a proper lady and stop this foolish dream of being a Composer!" Victor inwardly rolled his eyes, he wanted to so badly rip his claws into that boy's flesh, make him beg for his life, and the mother was another annoyance that he really wanted to rid of as well.
"What's the matter with the girl having a dream to live for!?"
Nicholas asked, anger evident in his voice. Meredith, Victor could tell was furious and harshly responded. "Because Jake is right! Evangeline needs to start worrying about finding a suitor, just like Maggie has been. I am tired of her constantly going to the docks with Ace and those Taverns! And I'm sick and tired of her spending her time with those Commoners! She is more than capable of socializing with people of her stature but she refuses to!" Evangeline then glared over at her.
"Maybe because they're all like you Meredith. Rude, snobbish and bitchy!"
Everyone in the table was silent, Ace and Victor grinning from ear to ear, Nicholas in the meantime was trying very hard to hide his smile as well. While, Maggie and Jake stared at her in complete shock. Meredith on the other hand had turned beat red. Victor was extremely amused by the fire this you woman had. She was most definitely not like most women from this part.
"Do you see Nicholas? Do you see the way YOUR daughter speaks of me? She is nothing but a rude, nasty little thing and once she will accept the terms of life then she will become what she's supposed to be."
Meredith then rose up from her seat and walked up towards Evangeline who was giving her a challenging look. "You will find a suitor. And you will find one who is wealthy enough to care for our family. You have to grow up sooner or later!" Evangeline gave her stepmother an evil glare, as she agitatedly rises up from her seat, challenging her supposed mother.
"If you think that is my only purpose then you are wrong Meredith. Why don't you have yer damn daughter sell herself for yer wealth! Because I damn will won't! You are not my mother nor will you ever be and I refuse to marry some wealthy git who needs his staff to wipe his own arse for him!"
Meredith gasped in pure shock from Evangeline's words and immediately looked over to Nicholas who to looked somewhat surprised by Evangeline's behavior. "Nicholas are you going to allow her to talk to me in such a way!?" Nicholas looked at her and his daughter who was challenging him to say a word.
"Meredith, Evangeline is allowed to marry whoever she shall please. I do not care for our social status as much as you do. And Evangeline you know I do not condone that sort of behavior! I preferably would like you to settle down and have a family someday. However, I am allowing you to choose the suitor that you would like to be with. I want you to be happy Evangeline; I want you to live a long and happy life with someone you truly love. That is all that matters to me. Now please the both of you apologize to one another."
Meredith scoffed. "I should not have to apologize to Evangeline for putting her in her place." Maggie then decided that she needed to put in her two cents in the matter. "I actually agree with mother." Ace then rolled his eyes. "Of course you do." He muttered under his breath which Victor caught and started to snicker. "I think Evangeline should be a more proper lady. How else do you expect a normal gentleman to ask for your hand? You'll end up being an old hag with many cats." Evangeline rolled her eyes.
"Maybe I don't want a normal man; maybe I want someone with a little more excitement."
Jake then scoffed. "Yes… because Evangeline that will only lead you to a good life. You'll be stuck at home while you're adventurous husband will be having an affair behind your back and be the laugh of the town." Evangeline held her head up high and looked down over at Jake.
"Then that will be."
She said in a hard tone and stormed out of the room furiously. Nicholas angrily threw his napkin on the table and rose up from his chair. "I have had it. I have had it! With you all being so hard on Evangeline! She will wed when she is ready." He then looked over at Victor apologetically. "I apologize for my family's behavior Victor. We're not usually like this but this topic does come up from time to time and my family here finds it more entertaining in harassing my daughter than to actually be supportive." Meredith then looked over at Nicholas urgently. "Nicholas!" However, Nicholas waves his hand at her.
"Enough! Now if you excuse me I will be at the pub with yer Uncle Jack!"
Ace took this as dinner was finished for the rest of them and motioned Victor to follow him up the stairs. "Sorry about that mate, it usually gets hot and heavy here when Evangeline and Meredith are butting heads. Let's just say me and Evy don't get along very well with our step family." Victor nodded, as he placed his hands in his pockets.
"Why is your stepmother so determined to marry off Evangeline?"
Ace then started to chuckle as they both were now up the stairs.
"One because, Evangeline looks exactly like how our mother had looked when she was that age and it aggravates the living daylights of our stepmother, which makes her even more determined to get Evangeline out of our home. And two is because she knows Maggie won't have a chance in the world to receive the kind of suitors that Evangeline has received and Evangeline knows it, that's why she's fighting this every step of the way. Evy doesn't want to be the sum of our family's welfare and have to marry some rich bastard to keep our family's establishment at it's peak. She just wants to live a normal and happy life."
Victor nodded as he was now shown his new room. Ace grinned at him as he opened the door. "This mate is yer new room. Evy's room is right next door and mine is down the hall so if you need anythin let Evy or me know. We'll be more than happy to help." Victor gave him a small smile and nodded. "Thanks." Ace shrugged. "Hey that's what friends are for. I have a feeling you'll do fine here…" The silence was getting somewhat uncomfortable so Ace then immediately waved his hand. "Well night." Victor then nodded.
"Night."
Once Ace had left to the confines of his room, Victor slowly turned around to look at his. The room was warm and welcoming; it was also large enough for him to have his space as well.
As he continued to examine his new quarters he immediately heard someone tapping on his open door. Victor's claws immediately grew longer as he whirled around to look at his unexpected visitor.
Once he caught sight of Evangeline resting against his doorframe, his claws reverted back and became shorter. "I apologize for startling you. I just wanted to also apologize for this evening. It was very inappropriate of me to spout off like I had in front of company. I hope you can forgive me." Victor smirked; he knew that she wasn't really sorry; after all he could sense it on her. He sensed her curiosity of him, and he sensed the complete rage and irritation she withheld towards her stepmother, this made him even more interested in wanting to know who this woman was.
"You don't need to apologize. You're stepmother is an idiot." He said, testing as to whether she'll defend her or agree. Evangeline smirked at him, and softly moved away from the doorframe. "As much as I should defend my stepmother's honor, but I must agree with you." Victor couldn't help but snicker, as he walked up closer to her. She was an enigma if he met one.
"So why don't you want to get married to some rich guy and have a high socialite status?"
Evangeline rolled her eyes and sighed. "My mother was never one to care for social status and taught me to think the same way. I guess I just always wanted to know what's more to life than just being a bloody porcelain doll or trophy." She noticed the smug smirk on Victor's lips and couldn't help but blush.
"I know sound's stupid right?"
Victor shook his head; he was even more amused now. "No it's just you're not as annoying as I thought you would have been to be honest." Evangeline looked up at him somewhat surprised and gently nodded her head.
"Right… well I should leave you to rest. You had an extremely long night and most of it was unnecessary so I shall let you retire."
She said hastily¸ Victor knew it was her nerves catching up with her and immediately grabbed her arm before she turned away. Evangeline jumped once he grabbed her, and immediately noticed his claws. She had noticed them before but decided to pay no attention to them, but now that she has seen them up close she then realized how incredibly sharp they were.
"Thank you for your hospitality."
Evangeline nodded, as she felt his hand slowly released her arm. "You're welcome." She said with a small smile and started to walk away. She then immediately stopped and slowly turned back at him. "What kind of mutant are you?" Victor arched his brow, as he crossed his arms. "A Feral. A very dangerous Feral." Evangeline nodded, as she slowly walked up towards him. This made Victor even more confused, most women would cower in terror by the sight of his claws but not this one. She was just extremely curious, and as they say curiosity kills the cat.
"Does it hurt? Ya know when they grow longer?"
Victor couldn't help but chuckle as he started to walk past her and closed the door to give them some privacy. "No. I honestly don't feel it. It only happens when I'm ready to attack or become extremely angry." Evangeline nodded, as she gently took his hand into hers and examined it.
"What great power you must carry in these hands of yours. They must tell an amazing story."
She said softly, as she smiled up at him. "I don't suppose you try to suck blood now do you?" She asked, referring to his fangs. Victor laughed his fangs even more apparent now. "No, but it doesn't mean that I don't bite." Evangeline nodded, a small smile morphing onto her lips. "No it doesn't. Well Victor it's getting late and this is where I wish you a goodnight." Victor nodded a cool grin still evident on his face. "Goodnight Evangeline." Evangeline gave him a warm smile before she left the room and retired to her own.
Once she was gone, Victor walked over towards his bed and laid down upon it, savoring the sweet softness of his mattress. His mind couldn't help but drift to the young woman who was only in the room next to him. She didn't fear him, nor was she disgusted by his being. He sensed her admiration and curiosity of him and it only drew him to want to be more closer to her.
He hadn't sensed any attraction towards him yet from her but he figured that it was only because her blatant curiosity oversaw it. He wanted her, that was obvious to him and he was determined to make her his but he knew it would take great time for her to completely warm up to him.
After all, she had to battle her stepmother every inch of the way to keep her from marrying some worthless halfwit who would only try and break her spirit. No… he would not let that happen since he had laid his claim upon her the moment he has seen her.
And after all he was Victor Creed a man who get's what he wants.
Well that's chapter one! I know Victor seems kinda occ but I promise he will turn more into a badass as the story continues. :) Thanks for Reading and Once again Reviews are greatly appreciated.
