Victoria had been sitting and talking to everyone for around ten minutes when she started feeling more awkward than ever. Larten wouldn't stop staring at her and every time she'd look at him he would just couch and look away. She shook her head and looks at the boy whose name she had learned was Darren and smiled.

"So Darren, how do you like the mountain so far?" she asked smiling. He kind of wrinkled his nose

"It's dark and smells bad." She laughed

"Yes I tend not to come very often."

"Why not?" Victoria rubbed her neck not wanting to tell the real truth that it was because of his mentor.

"Well I just prefer to live out my life more normal."

"This is normal for a vampire" Larten huffed saying the first thing he had since she sat down. She puffed out her cheeks.

"I never asked for this you know that"

He just ignored her. She sighed and turned back to Darren who was looking back and forth between the two.

"What do you mean never asked"

"Darren! Stop asking personal questions" Larten snapped.

"Oh calm down old man he isn't hurting anyone" Victoria rolled her eyes and turned to Darren.

"I was turned against my will." She explained.

"Old? You are probably older than everyone here" Larten huffed again.

"Now you sound like Seba. And again not my fault Larten." She said clenching her teeth looking like she wanted to hit him but at the same time like she was going to cry.

"Old? You look like your no older than 25…" Darren commented looking confused. Victoria smiled softly at him. She liked this kid. He was so innocent and didn't deserve this life.

"Yes well that's a story for another time." She said ruffling his hair and laughing when he pouted. "I am probably well around three hundred years older than your mentor"

"Aged well didn't she?" Gavner joked. Victoria turned to him smiling and sat in his lap.

"Oh Gav, you know you love me." She grinned and fluttered her eye lashes. She's known for the longest time that Gavner was in love with her, but she just didn't feel the same deciding to stay friends. They could openly joke about it now.

"You got it babe." He said acting like he was going to kiss her and she laughed when he dipped her in his lap making her head almost hit the floor her long black hair sprawled on the rock floor. He let her back up and she stayed in his lap.

"So are you guys a couple?" Darren asked. Larten stiffened at that question and was about to yell at him again but before he could Gavner replied.

"No she turned me down years ago." He laughed. Victoria blushed.

"I said sorry"

"I know love"

She stood back up and sat in her own seat. Crossing her legs and bringing her long hair in front of her and started braiding it. She looked over at Larten her was looking off and ignoring everyone. She sighed and looked at Gavner with a hurt expression. He looked back at her with one saying 'I'm sorry'. Darren didn't miss it. He was looking at her the entire time wondering why her and his mentor where so hostile to each other. He just continued to eat his bat broth.

Victoria wandered around the halls of the mountain bored and with nothing to do when she had bumped into someone.

"Oh I'm sorry please excuse me" she said looking up until she saw who it was. The one she had bumped into was Arra Sails. She mentally groaned.

"Oh well if it isn't Nakamura" Arra scowled. "Still a disgrace I see"

Victoria stared boredly at her. "Still a bitch I see" she commented.

Arra fumed. Her face turning red. "Still hopelessly chasing after a man who cares nothing for you?"

"Still a man stealing jealous lunatic?" Victoria replied getting angry. She started walking away but that didn't stop the vampires from following her making comments about how she is a disgrace to all vampires and Larten Crepsley would never love her back because he chose Arra. They had went into a hall and gained an audience on the way. Victoria turned to Arra and angry expression on her face.

"There is a difference between winning and stealing Arra. You didn't win. You only did such a thing because you did not like me. You never cared for him in the first place even if you started to. Does he know the real reason you mated with him was to anger and hurt me? Did you ever explain that little detail?"

Arra was now angrier than ever and charged at the Dark hair girl in front of her. They rolled on the floor throwing and dodging hit from each other. Screaming and yelling at each other.

"Who cares what my motives were at first? He still chose me over you, you stupid little bitch. He never loved you anyway!" Arra yelled in the older girls face holding her down. Victoria kicked her legs up and flipped them over.

"Admit it Arra you stole him because you hated me!"

"Yeah so what? Not like you ever had a chance anyway after being his Mentors mate for nearly fifty years!"

The two vampiresses continued their wrestling match not know the very man they were talking about was one of many who gathered round trying to see what the ruckus was. He was shocked hearing this news and Darren just looked on confused.

"Mr. Crepsley what are they talking about?" the boy asked.

Larten sighed. "Nothing Darren. Go."

The boy scurried off and Larten continued to watch knowing exactly what was going on and shaking his head.

Many male Vampires whistled and laughed as the girls kept on with their small battle, until they heard a booming voice.

"What in the world is going on?" they heard someone yell and looked up to see Paris Skyle looking down at the two women. Still fighting not knowing what's going on around them. Paris bent down grabbing Arra by the back of her shirt and pulling her off of the girl under her. Arra turned to hit the person who grabbed her when she saw who it was and stopped immediately. She bowed her head in shame.

"What has gotten into the two of you?" Paris Demanded. Arra said nothing just looked down and Victoria glared at her.

"I'm sorry Sire it will not happen again" Arra explained and Victoria rolled her eyes. ~kiss ass~ she thought to herself. Paris looked at her with a stern look. "if I have any more problems with the two of you, you will not be allowed back? Do you understand? Leave the fighting for the game rooms"

"Yes sire" Arra replied. Victoria said nothing glaring at the ground not even getting up.

"Ms. Nakamura what do you have to say?" Paris asked.

"Nothing as long as the bitch leaves me alone." She snapped. Everyone gasped. No one talks to a prince in that way and lives. She was lucky it was not Arrow or Mike Ver Leth and that it was Paris The nicer of the princes. The vampire prince sighed and looked at the angry Vampiress.

"Nakamura come with me" he demanded and started walking away. Victoria kicked her feet in the air landing on them and standing up. She glared at Arra Sails as she passed following the vampire prince.

Paris led her away into a room alone and sighed.

"Victoria – "he started.

"Don't Victoria me! She started it!"

"I don't care who started it. That was childish and unneeded."

"Sorry Paris." She mumbled. He sighed.

"I can't keep letting you get away like that."

"I know."

"Please no more fighting with her. You haven't been to the mountain in nearly 150 years. Make the best of it."

"Ok I will" she said giving him a soft smile and a hug and walking away.

Victoria laid on the floor in her 'room' thinking about things. Larten Crepsley to be exact. She thought about how things had gone with him nearly 200 years ago and how he had hurt her. She sighed not wanting to think about it. Little did she know a certain male vampire who was on her mind was also thinking of the same thing.
