'Well,'

The ebony haired vampire looked around at the League as they sat in her library,

'Before I was born a prophecy was made saying 'the princess of the night will rise with the final bride and will vanquish the traitors,'

Sawyer shot daggers at Dorian,

'With the help of the half blood prince and the extraordinary. She must prevail or they shall all fall into darkness.' When I was born he had a group of witches see into my future and they found that the prophecy was about me. That is why he sired Lucy because the witches saw it. That is also why I was named Saskya, it means protector of mankind.'

They all looked at her.

'So who are the other people?' asked Quatermain.

'The half blood prince is Leonate because we share the same father and his mother was mortal. Mariksha thinks she is the final bride but there is also you, Mina.'

They all turned to look at Mina.

'It can't be true. I am not a bride of his.'

'You are,' replied Saskya, 'a bride. As was my mother.'

'Are we the extraordinary?' asked Nemo.

'It would seem that you are.'

'Who are the traitors then?' asked Sawyer.

'The Dignità di sangue were vampire but they have turned on their own kind and have fed off of vampires. Yet they also kill mortals for fun which we cannot allow.' Replied Leonate.

'Who leads them?' asked Saskya.

'Kerhasi Proditor. The traitor warrior.'

'Good god. Please not him.' The raven haired princess wrung her hands.

'What's so bad 'bout 'im?' asked Skinner.

Saskya stood up and crossed the room to the window. She pressed her forehead against the cool glass.

'He was, well probably still is, betrothed to Sas. If they marry he become the prince and can rule the vampire warriors.'

'Vampire warriors?' asked Allan.

'Yes they are an army bound to the prince or princess. However, they cannot be called up by an unmarried royalty.'

'So if Saskya marries this Proditor he can bring up an army.' Said Dorian, he glanced at the woman at the window.

'Yes,' she turned to face, 'and I can do nothing to stop him. If we were to get married I would have to give him some of my blood. He is Aleera's son so he is already powerful. If he had my blood he would be the most powerful in over nine hundred years. It would be a disaster.'

'Is there any way to stop him?' asked Henry.

'Either she has to kill him or fall in love with someone else.' Added Leonate.

'That shouldn't be too hard.' Commented Sawyer.

'The killing or falling in love. Because it is a little hard explaining to someone, that I could love, my situation.'

'We will help in anyway possible.' Said Nemo.

'Thank you captain.' She graced him with a smile, 'Now it happens I only have three rooms in my tower and you can't sleep anywhere else so there will have to be three to every room. Leonate could you stay with the Captain and Mr Quatermain. Mina could you stay with the Doctor and Mr Skinner.'

Skinner grinned.

'And where staying with you?' asked Tom.

She nodded to him and Dorian.

'I will take you up to yours room. Once you are there I suggest you sleep as we will have to look around at night. Let us go.'

They picked up their small bags and made their way to an oak door. Saskya pushed it open to reveal a large staircase made of worn stone. She pulled two torches from their brackets and handed one to Leonate who was at the back of the group. She led them up to the fist floor and showed Mina, Skinner and Jekyll into their room. On the next floor Leonate, Allan and Nemo left the group and the rest continued up to the top floor. Saskya pulled a key out of her pocket and unlocked the door. She held the door open for the two men and followed them in. Her room was just as she remembered it. On the far wall there was a mural of the castle in snow covered hills. There was two arm chairs and a sofa in front of a fire and a thick curtain separated them from two king size beds each with scarlet hangings.

'Who gets which bed?' asked Tom.

'You two can share that bed.' Saskya pointed at one of the two beds.

Tom went into the bathroom and changed into his pyjama shorts and t-shirt. When he came back in Dorian went into the bathroom and Tom climbed into bed. Saskya sat with a glass of port in front of the roaring fire. Her ears twitched as she heard Dorian come back into the room. As he climbed in bed she heard him complain.

'Will you keep to your side Sawyer.'

'Fine.'

Saskya waited until they had been silent for a few minutes before she changed into her black nightdress. Returning she slid into her bed and allowed the warmth of the covers wrap round her body. Just as she was drifting off to sleep she heard Dorian get out of his bed. Rolling over she watched him pad over to her in his blue pyjamas.

'Saskya.' He murmured.

She sat and looked straight at him.

'Yes Dorian?'

'Can I get in? Sawyer will not stop fidgeting.'

In reply she threw open the covers and slid back to her side. As he climbed in she felt the warmth of his spread through her. She then drifted off into a light slumber.

Waking up later that evening as the dusk light was beginning to darken Saskya felt a pair of arms encircling her body. Opening her eyes she saw Dorian's face inches from her own, his warm breath on her cheek. As she tried to free herself he pulled her closer. He woke up when she pinched his shoulder.

'What was that for?' he moaned.

'Open your eyes.' She commanded.

His ivory eye lids opened to reveal his midnight black eye looking down at her.

'Could you please release me?' she purred.

'No,' he tightened his grip, 'I like having you close.'

He lowered his face and captured her lips in his, running his hand up her leg.

'No, Please.' She moaned into his mouth.

'If you wish.' He let go of her and rolled onto his back.

Saskya climbed out of bed and stretched her arms high above her head.

'Nice rear end.' Dorian commented from his place on her bed.

She threw a pillow from the bottom of her bed at him, 'Ssshhh, you'll wake Sawyer.'

She crossed the room to the large window and drew back the black velvet curtains letting moonlight stream in. When she looked out she jumped back as if she was blasted from the outside.

'What's wrong?' asked Dorian getting out of the four poster.

Saskya ran across the room grabbing her sword as she flung open the door and ran down the stairs screaming, 'Leo.'

'What was that all about?' asked Sawyer from his bed.
