Victoria yawned and drank deeply from the mug of blood she was given. She woke up to Gavner bursting into her room and slinging him over his shoulder as she kicked and screamed all the way to the hall of Khledon Lurt. Her hair was a mess and she had bags under her eyes.
"You look lovely my dear" Gavner teased.
"I'm going to kill you and suck you dry" Victoria growled taking another gulp of blood and wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. Gavner only laughed at her threat and rubbed her shoulder.
"I see you are no morning person." He chuckled.
"Oh. That woman was never a morning person" Said a voice behind them.
The two of them turned to see Seba Nile smiling at them both. Victoria's eyes lit up. It had been so very long since she had seen her Ex-mate. She grinned widely and stood throwing her arms around his neck.
"SEBA!" He chuckled and hugged her back
"Hello, love." He said softly.
"It's been so long." She said looking at him. She set her hand on his cheek and rubbed it with her thumb. "You've gotten old" she teased. He only chuckled.
"Yes I have. You on the other hand are as beautiful as the day I laid eyes on you." He replied kissing her hand. Victoria giggled.
"Oh shush. You know I'd give anything to wake up one day and see at least one sign of ageing."
"I know my dear." He said gazing at her with a soft expression. Victoria grabbed his hand and guided her to a chair next to her. Gavner had decided to let the two be alone and went off.
"How have you been, Seba" Victoria asked. He told her about how he decided to stay and work in the mountain years ago because of his old age and about things that have gone on for the past couple of decades.
"Have you met with Larten yet?" He asked. Victoria's face fell and she looked down.
"Yeah I have" she mumbled. He leaned over and kissed her forehead. She looked back up at him.
"You should give him another chance, love." He said gently.
"Thanks Seba but I'm sure he is the one who would rather not see me" She smiled slightly at him. "He is so much like you now though. Just maybe a bit grumpier."
Seba laughed. "I do not know. I have been told I am grumpy as well."
"You were never grumpy with me." She smiled kissing his cheek. He sighed and gazed into her eyes lovingly.
"I do not think I ever could be." Victoria blushed. Even though Seba had aged much since she last was his she still loved him all the same. She always guessed that was why she was so attracted to Larten as well. She could always see a bit of Seba in him even when he had just become the man's apprentice. She always knew he would have grown up to be much like his mentor. Larten always looked up to Seba. Victoria did as well. Seba was the first person to be there after her unfortunate cross with destiny and the only one to help her get through the first few decades. She slowly fell in love with him and they had decided to mate.
"Yes well unfortunately Larten is nothing but grumpy with me. Has been ever since he got here." She rolled her eyes. Seba sighed.
"Give him some time Victoria. He is probably just surprised to see you. How long have you been avoiding him?"
"I wasn't avoiding him" she grumbled.
"Yes you have."
"Have not."
"Do not argue with me Victoria Bay." He said sternly.
"Ok Dad." He sighed, and shook his head
"I swear you will be the death of me. Does that come with immortality? Immaturity?" He asked annoyed. Victoria knew he did not mean it but either way it hurt. That was an extremely touchy subject for her and she knew he knew it. Victoria said nothing back. Her eyes went wide and she felt tears well up. She lowered her head and blinked to try and stop herself from crying. Seba watched and sighed knowing he had gone too far. He felt his heart thump when he saw her shoulders shake slightly. He did not mean to go that far and make her cry.
"Victoria" he said softly. He placed his hand under her chin lifting it to make her look at him. Her eyes were closed and he saw a single tear slide down her cheek. He wiped it away and she opened her eyes. More tears fell and he gave her a guilty look.
"I am sorry love. Please forgive me?" He asked pulling her towards him and embracing Victoria. She sniffed.
"It's fine Seba. I shouldn't have been acting like a child." She said laying her head on his chest.
"It is quite alright my dear" He said kissing her head. Victoria sighed and got up sitting back in her chair. She sighed and rubbed her temples.
"I need Ale" she groaned and Seba chuckled. He ordered a mug of Ale and pushed it toward her. She took a drink and sighed.
"Everything will be alright Victoria. I am sure Larten just needs some time." Seba sighed.
"I guess so. Geez. You were never this stubborn." She commented.
The two sat there and talked for maybe another half hour before said Vampire walked in with a certain youngling behind him. Larten looked annoyed and tired. He caught sight of his Mentor and Victoria. Victoria could tell he debated on going for a moment and decided on Walking over to them.
"Victoria!" Darren said. Victoria smiled at the boy.
"Hello Darren. How are you?"
"Ok."
Seba stood and gave his old apprentice a quick "man hug" and sat back down Larten taking a seat next to him. He looked over at Victoria who looked up at him.
"Hello Ms. Nakamura." Larten nodded and crossed his legs.
"Oh stop being so formal and just call me Victoria." She rolled her eyes. He ignored her comment and began to speak with Seba. Seba looked at her annoyed expression and smiled.
Yes Larten was definitely going to need more time.
Yes I know this one is short. I have writers block. Sooo yay Seba finally showed up . And you see a small fraction into Victoria's past. Oh I also found a picture of what she kind of would look like
