Hi guys! this chapter is not the confrontation yet, but a bit of history. Give me your thoughts on Veronica and if you wanna see more of her. The confrontation chapter is taking a lot out of me, so please be patient. Meanwhile, chew on this!

Paris, 1442
"Miss, Master Rouxard will see you now."
There was a flash of red hair when the woman entered her master's study. She stood by the door, twirling a strand of flaming hair around her finger.
"You look lovely, Veronica," Rouxard said idly, not looking up from his notes.
"Thank you, Master," she replied. "I wish to speak about the matter of me leaving the castle."
Rouxard huffed. "We shal speak of this later."
"I'm leaving," Veronica said strongly. "You cannot keep me any longer."
The Fae man finally looked up and stared in shock. "What have you done, human?"
"Never call me that again," Veronica de Vaux spat. "I am your equal now."
Before Rouxard could say anything, the red-headed woman was on top of him, ripping his throat out. Her eyes were wild.
"I will never be inferior," she growled.
Mexico, 1983
"There are rumours, Pablo."
"It can't be."
The two men sat outside, smoking.
"I hear somebody found her," the first man said.
Pablo shook his head. "Where do you put your ears? She's just a fable."
"What if the whispers are true? The humans would lose it."
"Shut up," Pablo said. "People will hear the madness you preach. Veronica de Vaux is just a tale used to have our kids keep their humans under control."
"Guillermo said that too. And you know what happened to him? Got his throat ripped out, just like Rouxard."
Los Angeles, 2007
The group of teenagers sat around the bonfire on the beach when a figure approached them.
"Hey, pretty lady," a boy called.
The woman turned towards him. "Hello. Where can I find Chad?"
The boy named Chad stood up. "What's this about?"
Veronica smiled sweetly. "I'm an old friend of the family. Let's take a walk."
His friends watched Chad walk away, not knowing that he would never return.
