Disclaimer: I do not own anyone or anything from American Horror Story!
AN: So I got the idea to do a story where Tate is a vampire. It may have a few tie ins with American Horror Story Hotel though they will be mostly vague and not give to much away, but I thought it would be best to warn you all just in case. This is only the introduction chapter so it will be shorter than most of the others. Only the introduction chapter will be from third persons point of view, the rest will be in Tate's point of view which is actually knew to me since I haven't really written from his perspective before so bear with me if he seems out of character. Since this is an AU story things will be different, but I will try to keep important events from the show intact if I can.
Violet Harmon had never been the kind of person who believed in the realm of the supernatural. She always believed firmly in the reality of things around her; things she could touch, taste, and feel. Ghosts, werewolves, demons, witches, even vampires, were something created by Hollywood. Stories created to keep the masses entertained when their own lives became to much to deal with. Violet pitied them for their own stupidity and at a very young age she had promised herself she would never allow herself to become like them, she would be different, unique.
All of that had been before she met Tate Langdon though. The blonde boy of her dreams who she had failed to realize happened to be a monster until it was far to late. She had been angry at her parents for dragging her across the country to start over because they could not handle their own problems. She wanted to rebel, to hurt them the same way they had hurt her and Tate had seemed to be the perfect tool; he was ever fathers worst nightmare when it came to boyfriends. He was a trouble maker and slightly psychotic. He listened to Nirvana and dressed like it was still the nineties. He had been everything she ever wanted and the fact he wanted her in return, well that just made it perfect, for a while at least. Until she discovered the truth about what he was and things started to fall apart around her.
"Please Tate please, I don't want to die." Tears coated her cheeks as she cowered in the far corner of her bedroom as far away from the man, the monster who had stolen her heart as she could.
"It's to late for that." Tate tilted his head as he took a step towards her. He could smell her fear, taste it in the air and it was absolutely stimulating. Being around Violet made him feel alive, something he hadn't been for many lifetimes. "You knew what you were getting in to when you chose to be with me Violet."
Shaking her head furiously her gaze moved to her bedroom door as she contemplated whether or not she could make it before he caught her. "I never wanted this."
His dark eyes scanned over her body as he thought about her statement. He knew everything there was to know about Violet, things she did not even know about herself yet. "Didn't you?"
"What?" Her attention snapped back to him immediately.
Taking another two steps closer to her, he smiled softly as if he had just heard a joke he found to be humorous. How could she not see the truth? A part of him wondered if her mortality blinded her to the truth. In the end it didn't really matter considering her mortal life would be over soon enough. Soon Violet would be like him and he would teach her what it was like to truly see things as they were without the blinders she wore due to her humanity. "When we met you already toyed with the line of life and death. You craved the relief the darkness of ending your life would bring, but you lacked a true understanding of it. As a human you are unable to grasp a true understanding of death and all it entails, but I can show you Vi, I can give you what you so desperately want."
Violet could feel more tears spill down her cheeks. As much as she hated him in this moment, as much as she feared him and what was to come, the bigger part of her heart still loved him and would continue to love him despite what may come next. "I want to live Tate, to have a life."
Finally he had made it to her side and Tate used his arms to keep her boxed in, trapped between his body and the wall. He could feel the heat radiating from her body and while he would miss it, along with hearing her heartbeat as it thrummed against her breastbone, he knew it would be better for them when she was like him, forever, for all eternity. "You've had a human life, but you were never truly alive. I am going to give you the life you deserve and so much more. I can show you things you've never dreamed of. I can make you feel things no mortal ever could, but you have to stop running. This is our destiny Vi, and you can't fight against destiny."
"You're wrong." She argued doing her best to keep her breathing normal, which was a hard task whenever he was near. Her body wanted nothing more than to get lost in his familiarity, but her mind screamed and protested otherwise. Violet knew she needed to stay focused if she wanted to have even half a change of getting out of there alive. "I never wanted to die."
"Then what did you want my lovely naive little girl?" The question was a teasing whisper against her lips.
She cursed at herself mentally for the whimper that escaped her lips when his brushed against hers for the briefest of moments. "What I wanted was you, just you."
The palm of his right hand, as pale and cold as the rest of him, came to rest on her cheek as his thumb wiped away a few stray tears. "And so you shall have me, forever."
"No," The word came out as a strangled plea as she tried to turn her face away from Tate, away from his always alluring and addictive touch. "I have a family and friends. I have a future I want to be alive for. Please don't take it all from me. Please don't make me choose. If you really loved me then you want me to have a full life Tate. You were human once and I have to believe that deep down you still have some humanity inside of your black soul. If you are capable of love then you are damn well capable of setting me free."
"I cannot Violet, you are all I want and all I have. I am much to selfish to let you go. I will be the only family and friend you will ever need. Soon you will see I am doing this for you, I am taking you somewhere better. I will not allow you to rot, to waste away in this filthy world." Reaching out with his other hand it was almost to easy to spin her and pull her back against him so he could brush her hair away from her delicate throat. The other arm wrapped around her waist to hold her against his chest as she struggled. "Do not struggle my love. It only hurts for a moment and then when it's over we will have forever to be together, I promise."
Violet knew her fate had been sealed and so she squeezed her eyes shut against the sudden sharp pain as his teeth penetrated the soft flesh of her throat. Crying out would only cause her parents, if they even heard her that is, to meet a grisly death and she wanted more for them. At least with her death she knew they were safe and as much as she hated them, she loved them as well. Maybe her death would actually mean something sine her life never really had.
TBC...
AN: So yeah, this is basically the introduction to the story and it actually takes place near the end, but the next chapter starts to show how they ended up at this point. I hope it came out alright and I would love to hear your thoughts.
Please R&R like always!
