Hello, Bex here. I just love making stories, (TO VALKYRIE'S STORY READERS: Sorry, I'm making Esmé's story very soon Sunday at latest.) Read this tell me what ya think bout it then maybe I'll turn this into a sequel.

He couldn't unlive without her, in truth. Things were perfect till he bit her. He did it for his own selfish needs and never actually talked it through with her and now she was gone. Out of his life. Out of the country. Might as well be out of the planet for all we care. Why couldn't he let someone else bite her and they wouldn't even be in this position. To Vlad, it felt like a horrible divorce and they had to divide things between them. The only photo of them was taken by Erin because she wanted to scratch his face out because she looked good. Vlad let her do it happily, as far as he was concerned, everything that had them happy in it should be destroyed.

Since Erin left, Vlad had allowed the evil part of him to take over. Now, nobody stood a chance. His own father and sister were terrified of him, having to agree to anything and everything he said. Jonno could get past him because they were best friends. Except from Jonno, there was one person who could get to him and that person was gone. Vlad had changed the Council members leaving Ingrid of course. Not because she was his sister, but because he had very little trust in her and needed a inside person to see what the other members were planning against him. He put his grandmother on the Council as well, he had little trust in her too.

Vlad had changed completely, he didn't do 'love' no more. He was fearless. He had a short temper so nobody dare speak up to him. There were loads of rebels on both Vampire and Slayer teams and it was Vlad's and Jonno's duties to either change them or deal with them. Vlad's strong team included: Himself, Jonno, Ingrid (because she had nothing to do, other than sit with the Council) and Mina. They needed to gain other's trust to join.

"Vlad, we've got some Vampire rebels and they were sent to cause some chaos by..." Jonno didn't want to finish the sentence after Ingrid shot him a sharp glare.

"By who?" Vlad asked, unaware of his sister's silence actions.

"It doesn't matter who, we just need them off the streets and in bars." Mina said, aware of who they didn't want to talk about in front of Vlad. "Where were they last seen?" Mina asked.

"Near Garside. A couple of disguised slayers spotted them. And they seem familiar." Jonno said. Everyone looked at him, including Vlad. There was something that they all weren't telling him, that's why he had little trust in them.

"How familiar?" Vlad asked, his eyebrow raised. No-one bothered to reply. Vlad folded his arms, "How familiar?" he asked again. Ingrid cracked.

"A few of Malick's puppies... Erin sent them." Jonno and Mina sent a harsh look to Ingrid who shrugged her eyes watering but tears refusing to fall. She had a feeling Vlad was about to do something to her. But as usual, Ingrid couldn't resist making a sick joke.

"Ah, right. So why did you not want to tell me any of this?" Vlad looked at each one of them individually before resting his eyes on his older sister.

"Because we know how you feel about Erin..." Ingrid had the decency and nerve to reply to his question. Vlad sighed, he'd tell them for the umpteenth time that he never loved Erin.

"How many times do I have to tell you guys that Erin and I are nothing. I don't love her, she feels the same. Everything changed when I stupidly bit her and now I regret ever setting eyes on her. Do I make myself clear?" Vlad sighed and waited for their answer.

"Yes, Vlad." They mumbled.

"Urm...Master Vlad?" Renfield walked in with someone holding a dagger to his neck.

"I was beginning to wonder when you might come." Vlad smiled.
