Disclaimer: I only own Devon, Elizabeth, and Sebastian.
Author's Note: This is set through Blade. There will be a sequel only revolving around Blade Trinity.
I sat in the dark room. My blonde hair was pulled into a pony tail and my ice blue eyes scanned the cityscape. Elizabeth was asleep in her bed. I was so proud that she could get to bed on her own as well as get up and get to school on her own. She wasn't even mine but I thought of her as mine. I missed mine so much. Not only did I miss my son but I missed my husband. Then again I had to adjust to so much. When they were taken I was human. I wasn't anymore. I wanted to kill the man who made me what I was. If only I knew who he was. I stood up and walked away from the window. I was almost to my room when the scream from Elizabeth had me running to her. I pulled the man from her before he could latch his teeth into her neck. I growled as I held him into the wall.
"Elizabeth turn on the light." I growled. Elizabeth got out of bed and turned the light on. My eyes had to adjust for a few seconds before I got a good look at him. My heart stopped.
"Deacon?" I asked quietly.
"The one and only baby." He said.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Taking a bite of that little girl obviously I didn't know you were that dense." He said. I pushed him harder into the wall.
"Don't hurt her." I said.
"Why are you so protective of her she isn't yours is she?" Deacon asked.
"She may as well be mine." I said.
"You got remarried on me Devon?" Deacon asked.
"No, her family situation isn't the best so I adopted her on her mother's okay." I said.
"Anyone new in your life like a lover or a boyfriend babe?" He asked.
"No, I don't go out and date and I couldn't get married because we never got divorced. Even if you disappeared on me and broke my heart." I said.
"Devon I didn't disappear, you know as well as I do that I was taken along with Sebastian. We were turned into vampires much like you." Deacon whispered.
"How did you know I was a vampire?" I asked.
"I know because I turned you." Deacon whispered as he leaned closer to my ear and I shivered from the feel of his breath brushing my ear. I let my breath out in a shallow pant.
"I still make you weak I see." Deacon said.
"No, I've imagined killing the vampire who turned me for years." I said.
"Then do it Dev I'm at your mercy." Deacon said.
"I can't kill you." I said. Deacon smiled before he kissed my forehead and pushed me off.
"I'll be in touch." He said before he left. I turned to Elizabeth. I knelt down to her level and looked at her neck. There wasn't a mark on her neck which was something I was grateful for.
"I'm so sorry." I said as I hugged her to me.
"Its okay mommy he didn't hurt me." Elizabeth said. I nodded before I stood up.
"Elizabeth go to the room and sleep in there please." I said.
"Okay mommy are you going hunting?" She asked.
"No, I'm going to settle something once and for all." I said. She looked scared before I smiled down at her. I helped her gather her blanket, a pillow, stuffed white tiger, and set the alarm clock.
"If I'm not back before morning please make sure to get to school okay." I said.
"Yes mommy." She said. I kneeled down to kiss her forehead.
"Sweet dreams." I said.
"Be careful mommy." She said. I nodded before I walked out of the room and closed the door. That room was vampire and light proof. I walked into my room. I slipped out of my black sweat pants and into a pair of leather pants. My tank top was thrown to a corner of my room and I picked up my leather vest. I put on a pair of five inch ankle boots in black. I walked out of the room and before I left the house I put on my leather motorcycle coat and pick up the bike helmet with a sun tinted visor. I also picked up the keys to my bike. I knew where to find Deacon and I was going to have a serious talk with him. He needed to learn his lesson. I walk out of the door of the apartment and lock the door behind me. I walk fast and with a purpose down the stairs. As I walk out the door I feel the familiar tingle in the back of my throat which singled that a food source was close. I turned and face the familiar.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I was sent by Mr. Frost to bring you to him." He said. I glanced around and not noticing a car guessed he walked to my building.
"I hope you're able to ride a bike because I don't see a car." I said.
"Of course I can ride a bike." He growled.
"Don't take a tone with me because I can end you regardless of who your master is." I growled.
"Yes ma'am sorry." He said as he looked down.
"You can sit behind me and point me in the right direction." I said. He nodded and took a step forward. I pulled my helmet down on my head and straddled the black Ducati Streetfighter. He looked at me like I was insane.
"What?" I asked.
"I don't have a helmet." He said.
"Trust me; I'm not going to crash." I said. Still looking slightly timid he got on the bike behind me. He wrapped one arm around my waist and I took off down the street. He pointed me to a club. I parked the bike and the familiar got off the bike. I chuckled as I followed him. I stood on the street and after a few seconds I pulled my helmet off. I followed the familiar into the club with my helmet under my arm. He led me up to the VIP section and I had to hold back my groan. I watched as he took us back a vampire with long brown hair. He eyed me and I curled my lip at him. I wasn't some piece of meat. He stopped in front of Deacon who had a vampire with white blonde hair on his arm.
"Here she is sir." The familiar said.
"Thank you, you're dismissed." Deacon said. The familiar nodded and bowing left. I looked at Deacon.
"You called?" I asked.
"Come on Devon have a seat next to me." Deacon said.
"I'd rather stand. Too much vampire women for my taste you know how I am." I growled with a pointed glare at the white blonde.
"Who is she Deacon?" she asked.
"I could ask you the same thing." I said with another pointed look.
"This is Devon my wife." Deacon said.
"Wife?" she asked.
"Well we never got divorced after I was turned." Deacon said.
"Deacon who is she?" I asked.
"This is Mercury." Deacon said. I looked at her.
"I'm his lover." Mercury said with a smile.
"Good to see you stick with blondes." I said with a smile.
"Anyway Deacon I came here to tell you to keep your hands off the little girl under my protection or I will kill you." I growled.
"Duly noted sweetheart but I've brought you here for a different reason." Deacon said. I cock my head to the right and that's when I smelled the familiar scent that froze my heart. If it had been beating that is. I turn and see the six year old that sent an arrow through my heart. He had brown hair like his father that he wore in much the same way. He also had the same blue eyes that Deacon and I shared.
"Sebastian?" I asked.
"Mommy?" he asked. I turned my face away and turned to face Deacon.
"You're a cruel hearted b****** you know that right?" I asked.
"You can see him all you want if you come and live with me." Deacon said.
"No there is a little girl that needs me more." I said.
"More than your own son and you called me cruel?" Deacon asked. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"You've been with him long enough to know that I don't matter to him." I said. Deacon stood and walked in front of me.
"He asked for you every night after he was turned. He still does." Deacon said as he leaned down closer to my lips.
"You've handled him well." I said as I walked away.
"Will I be seeing you again?" Deacon asked.
"No." I said.
"Quinn do me a favor and escort Devon outside." Deacon said.
"Don't worry about it; I can get there on my own." I said as I walked away. I didn't cast a second look at Deacon or Sebastian but I felt Sebastian's eyes burning holes in my back. As soon as I clear the club I hurry to the bike. I roughly pull my helmet own and get on the bike. I was now racing against the clock. As I pull up at the apartment I see a police car go by that honks its horn at me. I look into the window and see Deacon's familiar. It stops and he steps out.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"Mr. Frost wanted me to give you my card in case you wanted to take him up on his offer." He said as he walked over and handed me the card. I read the name on the card.
"Officer Krieger, I'll keep this handy." I said.
"Mr. Frost hopes so." He said as he walked away. I roll my eyes and he can't see it which is a good thing. I open the door to my apartment and start to take the stairs two at a time. I needed to get inside. I knew the visor would protect me but I wanted to be safe inside the room Elizabeth was in before I fell asleep. I open the door to see Elizabeth moving about.
"Morning Elizabeth." I said.
"Morning mommy." Elizabeth said. Those two words sent an arrow to my heart. I nod.
"Be careful out there okay." I said.
"I will." Elizabeth said. What I didn't know was that the Daywalker was outside of the apartment and Frost was sending one of his familiars to take Elizabeth the moment she stepped out the door.
"Goodnight." I said as I walked into the room and snuggled down to sleep. My dreams were haunted by Sebastian's face well at least for a little while.
