Chapter One: The Pact Part One of Three
The black limousine came to a halt in front of a very distinguished apartment building. It was set high in a hill overlooking the city. The driver steps around the limo and opens the door. Saul steps out, smoothing his suit and taking a deep breath he turns back to the other two inside. He reaches out a hand to help the young woman out who is followed by her father
"Well, I'll be back in a few, cross your fingers so I come with the Teacher," Saul said as he headed to the front entrance.
The young woman turns to her father, she is wearing a long black t-shirt, with blue bell bottoms, and flip-flops. Bill had been amused at how fast she had discarded the dresses she so seemed to like for this more comfortable clothing. But she had been dormant for 3 centuries. Fashion changed, and his daughter had always hated dresses-even when she'd say the opposite.
"What is it?" he asks. "Do you wish to fee?" He looks around searching for a suttable meal.
She shakes her head.
"You need to eat; you haven't fed since you woke. Why?"
She spoke to him in ancient, "Please, do not make me feed. I do not wish to take the blood of any one." Her eyes filled with a sadness he knew too well. "I know you and Lee worry, but ever since Zak's death…I can't."
"And you know that Lee and I do not hold you responsible for his death," Bill replies lovingly caressing her face. "It was an accident."
She bows her head, "I won't believe it…I know what the Kindred say. I know how they accuse me of his death."
"Screw the whole lot of them!" Bill said quiet loudly earning him a look from the passer by.
Their conversation was cut short by the sound of a grumbling Saul as he walked back towards them. His face was one of pure anger and his hands were fisted. "Darn school teacher!"
Adama chuckled, "I take it she refused?"
"More than that!" Saul exclaimed. "Stupid human female closed the door on my face the moment I said your fraking name."
The young woman giggled.
"Yeah, laugh why don't you. I swear if I didn't know how much you need her Bill, I'd kill her."
Bill let out a sigh, "Seems like if I want something done I better do it myself."
"Don't blame me Old Man," Saul defended himself. "Not my fault you have a bad reputation with the ladies!"
That earned him a glare, "I were you I'd shut up!" He turns to his daughter and smiles, "You did say you wanted to meet her didn't you?"
She nods.
Bill wraps his arm around her waist, "Saul stay here and inform the staff we are about to have a permanent guest." That said he made sure no one was around and both he and his daughter faded into a mist that slowly made its way up the building and inside a window.
Laura Roslin nervously paced in her living room. Her mother had warned her millions of time, told her to be ready when he called upon her. But Laura had always believed her mother had only been messing around with her.
"Mom, there's no way vampires exist!" a twelve year old Laura said.
"They do exist! And our family made a mistake long ago; one that ends with you."
Laura stared, "Me? Why me?"
Her mother looked away, "You are the last female in the Roslin line. The thirteenth female and the last to carry the mark…"
At that Laura looks at the lotus birthmark on her chest.
"Prepare yourself Laura, for if you think your life is free…you are mistaken. Every move you make is watched."
The sudden chill of a cool breeze coming from her balcony made her stop. She took a deep breath and slowly turned her body around. She'd felt this before. Felt his touch upon her skin while she slept. With it came the sensual sensation of a lover. She should have known.
"Vampire," Laura whispered as she faced the man and young woman sitting in her living room.
His deep blue eyes lit up as he saw her face, "We finally get to meet face to face, Laura. And yes, I am a vampire. And I have come to claim what is mine."
Laura froze, her emerald eyes showed fear and curiosity. For years she had heard about William "Husker" Adama, Vampire Prince of Caprica City. Her nightly visitor she supposed. And she was face to face with the one person who held power over her.
