Chapter 2

'I will be staying here.' I knew that I sounded like a spoiled child but I did not care. There was nothing in his power that could make me go out today. April 14, it was Kanika's 17th birthday and nothing in this world was going to make me leave this room. I would not enjoy a day that should be celebrating my sister's birth when she believed me dead. It was not fair to either of us. It had been almost six months since I had last seen her, since I had died. I missed her terribly and today was only making things worse.

"Love, I don't believe that I am giving you a choice in the matter. I told you this morning that we would be going out tonight and I am not changing my mind." I looked into his eyes and knew that he was just as set as I was. I quickly looked away before he come reach into my mind.

"I already told you no. I will not be going out today. I don't care if the others expect you and I to show up, you can go, but I am not leaving my room!" I stalked off to the back room and slammed the door. I could tell that he was not going to be happy with me for that but I really didn't care. Again, nothing was going to make me leave this room.

I didn't even hear the door open, so I jumped slightly when I felt his arms around me. Slowly he kissed my cheek. I then felt his mind brush across mine. We are going to Kendra's wakening and that is final. I was the one who changed her and so I need to be the one to be there when she wakes. I don't trust Silver to do the job properly. I knew that there was nothing more that I could say to change his mind on that matter. So, fine, I was leaving my room. But I will have you know that it was not by choice.

Kendra's wakening was utterly dull. She woke; there were human sacrifices, blah blah blah. After we were done I quickly moved myself back to my room and sat down on the bed. Siete entered the room calmly after me. He knew that I was still upset with him, and that this was not something that I was likely to forget any time soon. He came over and sat down next to me. He gave me a small kiss on my cheek and then got up and left the room. That was all it took for me to realize that I was going to be extremely bored all night long. I quickly changed and disappeared from our home.

I reappeared in a small town about an hour away. I walked the streets waiting for someone to feed on. I had been walking for about five minutes when a movement to my right caught my eye. I spun around and camp face to face with a boy no older then myself. I smiled at him, not sensing any trace of another vampire's aura. I quickly willed him to sleep and began to feed.

As soon as tasted his blood I felt something else there. I soon felt a strong attachment to this boy and pulled away. Something about the way his mind connected to mine had made me hesitate, however I had already taken enough blood that he would die soon anyways.

Alexander was my first fledgling.

I woke with a start. Why on earth was all of this coming back to me now? Alexander had not been around in almost two years. There was no reason for me to be thinking about his birth and death, unless something had happened to him, which was completely unreasonable. He was one of the strongest in my line. There was no reason to think that he might be in danger.

I got up and got dressed. I was in a foul mood, due to the dreams that had been haunting me the past few days. I put on a short black leather skirt and a tight red silk top. Once I had dressed, I felt another vampire's presence in my land. I reached out to try and recognize the aura, and cursed when I realized who it was. This damn girl was becoming a nuisance that would need to be taken care of now.

Alexia, Amie's immortal sister, was seeking revenge. While I knew that this girl did not pose a direct threat to me, she would not hesitate to go through the entire human town that I lived in to piss me off. Alexia had been changed almost 50 years ago. Although she was very young for one of my kind she seemed to gain a lot of strength very quickly.

I stretched out my mind to hers, acknowledging her presence in my land. She was taunting me, not a smart thing to do on my land. I quickly appeared behind her, my mind clamped onto hers, her hands trapped behind her back, and my hand around her neck. I am glad that you at least have the decency to look somewhat frightened. I let my voice float through her mind. She would know after this night that she would not get away with challenging me.

I could feel it when she began to panic. I took that moment to sink my teeth into her throat. I made no effort to be gentle with her and she continued to fight against me. Vampire blood is much richer then human blood so it did not take long until I had taken all I needed to. I now had complete control over her mind. I pushed her roughly away from me and turned to walk away.

"You aren't going to get away with this, you know that, Icis. Jager will fight you on this. He was not pleased with how you left Amie this afternoon." She then disappeared and I went back to my home. As soon as I walked into my room I reached out for Siete in my mind. He was at my house in an instant. He took one look at my expression and knew that I was pissed.

"Siete, this bitch is going to die. I know that it was Fala who sent her here and I know that she was hoping that Alexia was going to take a piece of me with her. I am sick of playing games with this damn bitch. I want her out of the picture, and now."

"Fala, is the least of your worries. You and Jager seem to have my world split into two sides. You can take Fala down simply enough but it is the ones that will avenge her death that you have to worry about. They will come in strong numbers to protect her and as of right now you do not have the numbers to protect yourself. You will need to gather quite a group of you followers if you expect to be able to defeat Jager, Fala, and those loyal to them."

Siete knew that I needed to be alone, so after those wonderful words, he left me alone to think. I would have to start contacting my immortal children soon, if I wanted this problem taken care of now.
