A/N : I use the last name Sawyer, as in Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer--which I'm
sure you guessed that. I have my character as Tom Sawyer and Becky--I don't
remember her last name--'s son. I do not own the name Sawyer, I just use it
for one of my characters. I also can't remember what time setting Tom
Sawyer was, so the years may be a little messed up. I'm sorry for this,
but I want this certain character to be Tom Sawyer's son.
Victoria entered her own room after leaving Evon in the room that would be his, and she sat down by her crystal ball. She waved her had at it, and its contents sprung to life. Mist swirled inside of it, and Victoria set her fingers upon it. "Show me what has been going on with that girl we found by Mae. I want to know about her."
The crystal ball showed Victoria the conversation between Adam and Alexis, and Victoria could hardly contain her laugh. "That is Mae's child, whom Adam fathered. Well, this day keeps getting better. It seems I will have to make another addition to my little lair." Victoria grinned at her idea of kidnapping Alexis and forcing her to join sides with her, like Evon.
Victoria stared into the crystal ball at Alexis's face. "Yes, she will make a perfect addition."
Victoria took her hands off of the crystal ball, and it froze on Alexis's face. Victoria clapped her hands and called out, "Charp!"
The little gnome appeared in no time, and bowed before Victoria. "Yes, my lady?"
Victoria pointed to her crystal ball. "This girl, I want her brought here."
Charp wrung his hands. "How do we plan on getting her here," he asked timidly.
Victoria grinned an evil grin. "Send my babies out into the daylight for her. She resides in London with Adam Christophen." Victoria hissed out Adam's name because she hated him so. She hated him for nearly killing her twenty years before. He was a strong vampire to be as young as he was, and Victoria hated him for that.
Charp nodded. "Yes, I'll send the Vulgons out at once, my lady." The Vulgons were the mangy winged creatures Evon had saw. They were part vulture and part dragon. They had feathers here and there, long necks that were as thin as a small branch, and a horned nose like a dragon. They were a very ugly creatures. Most of them were not full grown, but a handful of them were. They were the ones to look out for because they were dangerous. Those would be the ones to collect Alexis.
Charp departed Victoria's room and left her smirking. "Adam, it has been too long since I last made your life Hell," she said to the darkness.
Alexis was glad to finally find her father because she had been running from Victoria for so long that she was exhausted. Mae had wrote how dangerous it would be if Victoria got a hold of Alexis in her journal, which Alexis read. Alexis didn't want to be used for evil, so she had fled Romania as soon as she could. She had not noticed Victoria's magic follow her to London, so she felt very safe in Adam's large mansion-like house.
Alexis changed out of her dress leaving only her chemise. She pulled back the covers on the bed. She had been told to go into Madeline's old room. Alexis sensed Madeline's old presence to the room, and it made the room feel a bit more homey. Alexis laid down onto the bed and noticed that there was a window with heavy velvet curtains that kept the light of day out of the room. 'Obviously, Madeline was a vampire like her father,' she thought.
Alexis got back up off of the bed and went to the window. She threw back the curtains and enjoyed the small bit of morning light that shone in. Alexis smiled as she looked out at London, then she headed back over to the bed. She laid down and pulled the blankets up around her. The material was a rich fabric, and Alexis felt spoiled by it. She loved how it was soft to the touch, but she was too tired to stay fascinated with the blanket. She fell fast asleep in just a matter of moments.
A few hours later, the vulgons were flying high above the clouds when they reached London. It was dangerous for them to be much lower because someone would see them and cable for Rome, where the Vatican held a secret Holy Order that hunted down evil. The vulgons were perfectly aware that they would fall into category of monster, and they would be hunted down by the Vatican's new Knight of the Holy Order. It was a man named William Sawyer, a man that traveled from America to heed the Vatican's call for a new protector of the Holy Order. They had heard rumors that he was reckless in his pursuit of killing evil creatures. People often whispered to themselves that Gabriel Van Helsing's antics were hardly as irrational as William Sawyer's antics ended up being.
William Sawyer was a young man, barely twenty-two, and he never worried with being seen in crowds. He did wear all black, a lesson that Gabriel Van Helsing had taught him. William was well liked by all he met, even if sometimes he stood over a dead victim, that was once a werewolf or creatures along those lines. William acknowledged that he and Gabriel had that in common, and he also liked seeing the Cardinal angry. Cardinal Jinette had been replaced soon after Gabriel had retired. A middle aged man had taken his place, but he had the same attitude as Jinette that few noticed Jinette's absence.
The vulgons had heard that William was in London hunting down gargoyles, which seemed to appear in cities more frequently over the years. But, the vulgons made sure they avoided any scene where gargoyles would take refuge just incase William showed up. The vulgons were smart creatures to be so horrid looking.
Their sight spotted the mansion of Adam Christophen, and they swooped down from the clouds. The workers outside the mansion didn't even noticed the vulgons because they were concentrating on their specific jobs. The vulgons were perched on the large ledge of the window that showed view of Alexis sleeping. The vulgons watched her for a few moments and wondered how they could get her out of the room without the workers hearing her screams. The creatures began to chatter to themselves in their native tongue, a deep chirping and clicking sound.
The vulgons finally decided they would swiftly enter the room and kidnap Alexis from her bed. The nudged the window open with their noses, and were shocked that it opened so easily. They slipped inside and watched the pretty reddish-blonde girl as she slept. They marveled at her beauty, and they realized she looked a lot like her mother. Her facial structure was nearly identical to Mae's, and she had the same vibe that Mae gave off. The vulgons hovered over Alexis for several minutes before remembering they had a job to do.
The largest vulgon grabbed Alexis, who woke up and was about to scream, and covered her mouth. He leapt for the window then spread his wings to take flight. He turned his head to make sure the rest of his kind did the same. Alexis squirmed in his grasp, and she found the creatures horribly ugly. But, she knew better than to wiggle out of the hold of a creature that was flying high about the tops of buildings. Even Alexis, being a witch, couldn't handle a fall like that. So, she stopped moving and let the vulgon carry her away from her father's mansion.
It was nightfall before Adam woke to a horrible nagging feeling something was wrong, and he knew his vampire powers enough to know they weren't wrong . He jumped up and dressed in his normal outfit, like nobility of London. He rushed downstairs to find Anita, and he was running through his mansion to find her. "Anita," he called out.
Anita found him and asked, "Where is Alexis?"
Adam felt the words hit him like a hammer. "You don't know where she is?"
Anita shook her head and saw the fear in Adam's eyes. "She isn't in Maddy's old room, and I haven't been able to find her outside."
Adam rushed up to the room where his daughter had been when he had gone to sleep that morning. 'Please don't be too far, Alexis,' he thought. 'Just be somewhere close.' He bound up the stairs and found the door open, and he pushed it open. He glanced around the room and saw the window was open and the bed was unmade, but nothing that was cause to worry. Adam headed over to the window as Anita entered the room.
Adam noticed claw and distress marks on the window seal, and he touched the grooves with his fingertips. He could see the creatures that left the marks in his head, and he jerked to get the image out of his head. He turned around and saw Anita watching him carefully, but he really wasn't paying attention to Anita. He was looking past Anita to the bedroom door, where there was a note stuck there.
Adam rushed over to the door, and Anita turned around to see the note. Before she could read it, Adam ripped it off of the door; it had been attacked to the door with the sticky spit of the vulgons. Adam read the note silently:
Adam,
Thank you for giving me the piece of my puzzle that has been missing. I have been searching for her since I captured her mother. She is a big key in my revenge, and I hope she likes it here in my lair. She won't be alone, I have more quests to keep her company. Too bad you had to meet her before she became my pawn.
Yours Truly,
Victoria
Adam growled as he crumpled the note up and threw it onto the floor. Anita stared into his green eyes with a requesting look. "Victoria," he told her, and she nodded as she understood his outburst. He had fire in his eyes, and Anita knew there would be no stopping him in his next quest. She knew he would go after Victoria and take revenge upon her for all the pain she'd caused him.
He paced around the room for a moment then looked Anita dead in the eye. "I'm going after her, Anita."
Anita nodded. "I knew you would, honey."
Adam strolled forward, and Anita moved out of his way. She heard him descend the stairs before she moved. 'He'll be getting himself in a lot of trouble,' she thought. 'I just hope he's learned enough to keep him alive.'
Adam raced over to his room and packed his bags, while he heated water for a quick bath. He stood in front of his window for a moment and promised, "Victoria, you will die for all my pain. Make no mistake about that." Then, he resumed to his packing. But, he never let his mind drift from the thrill of having Victoria in his grasp, draining her body of its life and destroying her soul. He felt a tingling sensation rush through his body at the thought of Victoria dead in his arms, and an evil grin spread across his face.
Victoria entered her own room after leaving Evon in the room that would be his, and she sat down by her crystal ball. She waved her had at it, and its contents sprung to life. Mist swirled inside of it, and Victoria set her fingers upon it. "Show me what has been going on with that girl we found by Mae. I want to know about her."
