A/N: Wow, really close in updates huh?

Disclaimer: I don't own them, never will.

Dominique had not moved away, not with Nikolas and Sarah so close.

Sarah walked around to the back of the house; hiding her aura as well as searching for her mother's or any other that might be in the house. She didn't want to run into a house full of witches, not when she was after her mother. There were none, save her mother's. Then another joined. Sarah knew this one; it was the girl that had warned her. 'Probably delivering the message and that I had stopped her form killing a vampire.' It seemed, fitting that once the message would be deliver, the receiver would have harm fall upon them, not the messenger. The girl left, and Sarah could feel the hurt and fear in her aura. Everyone could fail in Dominique's eyes, and if they did, she would punish them.

Sarah crept to the window, peering in; she could just see Dominique in the front room. She was in sweat pants and a tee-shirt, something she could easily fight in. Sarah hesitated; did she really want to fight her mother? Could she win? The reasonable part of her mind said that this was suicide, that she would die, never to see her friends again. Then another voice spoke up. Why couldn't she win? What made Dominique so much better? This was what gave her power, what made her slip quietly into the house, to stand behind her mother and unmask her aura.

Her mother quickly turned, being caught off guard was not something Dominique Vida liked having happen to her. Sarah had already unsheathed her knife, pointing it at Dominique's chest.

"I will not kill myself. I want to live, and not in fear. Sarah Tigress Vida died three months ago. I am not that girl, nor will I give into you anymore." Her voice was strong, but Sarah could feel the tears well up in her eyes.

"Yes, she did die, leech, and you are not her. But now I am to kill you, because you dare to challenge me by living or so you call it." Dominique spat at Sarah.

Sarah felt hurt, that her mother would so turn on her like this. Though she knew that that was what her mother would do, to hear those words was worse. The words infuriated her, made her want to hurt her mother. She lashed out, thrusting the knife at her. Dominique was quicker; she moved and grabbed a knife of her own. The move would have thrown Sarah off balance, but not longer. Her body reacted faster.

They were facing each other again, both with knives drawn. Sarah knew that it would be a feet for her to even draw blood from her mother. She also knew she had nothing to lose but her life. 'And I lost that awhile ago.' So, Sarah tried something new, she thought, projected that she was going to strike, that she was going to attack. Dominique fell into her trap. She lunged to try to counter Sarah, but no attack came. Dominique was the one off balance this time, and Sarah took the opportunity to come up behind Dominique and place her knife at Dominique's throat.

"You thought me well, mother, but now I am stronger." Sarah spoke with fury as she felt her fangs protrude in her mouth. Sarah did not want to kill her mother, she couldn't. The only other way that she could win was to feed off her, to be the third vampire to feed off a Vida witch.

Dominique was still struggling, but Sarah had the upper hand. In Sarah were her own witch blood and the vampiric blood. She was now the one in control. She could do what she wanted, use her emotions, cry, feel. Sarah knew that this was important, that Dominique would try to find her after this, and so would her sister and every Vida witch that would fallow.

Sarah bent her head down, letting her fangs out of her mouth. Dominique struggled, not wanting to give into any vampire, let alone her own daughter. She knew that Sarah would forever boost of this, that she had taken blood from a Vida witch, and over time it would be forgotten that Sarah had once been one herself.

Sarah felt the rush of memories as she pieced the skin. All coming back to her, ones that she thought she knew new ones.

"Congratulations, you're pregnant." Some doctor told Dominique. It was her second child, now she had to tell Adianna that she would have a little sibling, probably a sister to keep her company.

"I am doing this for your own good." The harsh words were directed at her, Sarah, for letting her emotions take control. "If you do not learn now, you will never learn and it will all be over for you in a matter of seconds if leech catches you in a state like this." With that Dominique had let Sarah go, weak and powerless.

Her daughter was dead, never to return. She felt angry with herself; she had brought this on her. Now she was dead. Adianna was going to look for her, to find the leech that had done this. What if Sarah was one? Could she kill her daughter? No, Sarah was dead, never to be the same as before. With that Dominique put back on her emotionless face, and vowed to kill the leech that Sarah had become.

Sarah finished, not taking enough blood to kill, just to make her feel dizzy. A new sensation flowed through her. This power, how the blood had been different from all the others before. Now it seemed that Sarah, for the first time, wanted more, wanted to feel this way all the time. Sarah bent down to get more, Dominique in a state of shock, when a voice stopped her.

"Don't Sarah, you can't do that, do you want to kill a witch? You were once one and this is your mother, can you really use this as your first kill?" The calm voice of Kristopher rang through the silent house. He had come in unnoticed, not wanting to lose Sarah, hoping to help her, hoping that he had been wrong about where she was going.

"No, I don't. But the sensation, it makes everything clearer somehow, its better than any I tasted before." Sarah whispered. She stepped away, and Dominique had to support herself, she almost fell to the floor. "I will not be like that, I will never kill. But know this; do not come after me, or my friends. They are more of a family to me than you were. Adianna was a sister to me, now she would kill me in a second. I will never seek you out again, give me the same curtsey." With that Sarah left, never even looking back at the person who had raised her.
