It's been so long since I've been to Vampire Mountain. Ive avoided it all these years on the off chance of running into him during the counsel, but this year I was asked to attend by a dear friend. Gavner Purl. It's going to be hard, I know because he will be there this year. That was the whole reason Gavner asked me to attend. Even after what he had done to me.

Victoria was in the dance studio as usual when a man walked in. He had on a baggy white T-shirt and faded jeans. His short brown hair was a mess and he had scars everywhere on his face and arms. Victoria turned and looked at him in here grey sweatpants that hung loosely off her hips and her Black sports bra. The man whistled.

"lookin good, Vic" he winked playfully

"haha. Very funny. What are you doing here Gavner?" She asked walking up to him.

"what? I can't just say 'Hi' to old friends?" He asked innocently

"I suppose you can but is that the reason you are here?"

"ok you got me. Actually I came by to ask you something?"

"what?"

"come to the next council"

"sounds more like a demand"

" I mean it Vicky"

"why"

"Well I just got done talking to Larten. He is actually going to be there this year."

Victoria groaned.

"why did you have to say his name? and no. he is the reason I have not gone all these years. Why the hell would I go when he is?"

"he took on an assistant."

"poor kid."

"kid is right. He couldn't have been more than thirteen when blooded."

Victoria's eyes went wide.

"a child? Is he Insane? Blooding a child of that age! He is an Idiot!" She raged. She was strongly against blooding children. She had always wanted them and thought it was a horrible thing to do to a child.

"yes it was a big mistake. The rules do not allow such a thing anymore. But this boy will surprise you. He will be a fine vampire."

"please tell me had at least had no family."

"No. As far as I know he had friends, family. Perfect life for a child."

"now I feel really bad for the kid. What was he thinking?"

"you must see him though. Extraordinary child"

Victoria sighed and Gavner pulled her into an embrace.

"I know you don't want to see him, love, but that was many years ago. He is a different man."

"no just older and possibly more mature. Fine Gav, I will go, but do not expect me to say much to him"

He chuckled. " that's fine" he said kissing her forehead "but I must go. I will see you there I suppose then?"

"yeah, I'll be there."

"you could always travel with us." He teased

"Go before I hit you"

He laughed and waved goodbye.

Victoria sighed and went back to work.

*******FlashBack*******

Victoria was in the hall of Khledon Lurt eating bat broth and bread. She had arrived to Vampire mountain just yesterday. Three men walked in. She was in the far back and watched them from her spot. One had short brown hair. It was Gavner. The other had cropped orange hair. This she could tell was Larten Crepsley straight off. He had aged much since their last meeting, but still was as handsome as ever. Not many Male vampires are truly good looking, or female ones for that matter. Unlike most Victoria didn't have many scars, preferring to be civil. Being called beautiful by many she had just brushed it off. She could care less how she looked to others. She would much rather be complimented on something more like talent rather than beauty.

She kept her gaze on Larten. He dressed much like Seba now. Probably acted like him as well. She wondered if he was still with that She Viper Arra Sails. Arra had never liked Victoria much. She believes Victoria is a disgrace to vampires because she chooses to not fight and live a remotely normal life. Victoria was Sure she only mated with Larten Crepsley in spite of her. Knowing she was in love with him.

She noticed as Larten walked past a small boy behind him. He had shaggy brown hair and looked to be around thirteen for fourteen years old. This must have been the child Gavner had told her about. The three sat down and ordered meal. Victoria continued with hers never taking her eyes off of them.

Once she was finished she stood and took a deep breath. Fixing her hair and walking over to the table where they had sat. They picked up another person as they were sitting. It was Kurda Smahlt the soon to be vampire prince. As she made her way over she could feel her heart thumping loudly against her chest. Gavner looked up and beamed when he saw her.

"Victoria!" he called. "over here."

She smiled slightly. "Hello Gavner" she looked at everyone and when her eyes caught Larten's she could see the disbelief in his eyes. She looked away.

"Larten…" she greeted quietly.

"umm.. Victoria" he replied still shocked to see her.

'great' she thought in her mind. 'this is going to suck'
