She met up with Blade in a restaurant. She smiled when she saw him. As he approached she stood and hugged him, her big belly getting in the way.
"You're pregnant!" he exclaimed. She smiled happily. She had this motherly glow about her.
"Yes. I can't wait to be a mom." She was excited. This was her first child. She was six months along.
"Whose the father?" he asked seriously. Vanessa looked down. She couldn't bare to tell him.
"It's Drake isn't it?" her silence confirmed it. "You have to give up the child, if you want it to be happy."
"What!" Vanessa sat down. "This my child! I cannot simply give it up! The vampires are dead!" she hissed at him. Blade remained calm. He wasn't too happy about seeing his first grandchild handed to strangers but it was safer than Vanessa keeping the baby herself.
"The vampires being dead don't matter to certain people, like familiars. They could use your child to bring the vampires back into being or resurrect Drake. The child has his blood."
"No, I was cured of the virus and so was my child. My child will not be born a vampire," Vanessa explained. Blade shook his head.
"That doesn't matter to them. They probably have stored vampire viruses, that they could inject themselves with along with your child's blood."
"I'm not giving up my child due to an irrational fear of yours!" Vanessa stood up and waddled out of the restaurant. That was the last time she saw Blade for 10 years.
Blade walked in with a woman behind him. That must be Karen, Vanessa thought.
"Vanessa, what are you doing here? I thought you told me to pick up Drina. I didn't see her outside, so I asked somebody where she was, and they told me to come here."
"Drina was kidnapped, sir," said the principal. "May I ask who are you?"
"He's Drina's grandfather," Vanessa explained.
"And who is she?" he asked pointing to Karen.
"I'm his girlfriend," Karen answered.
"My granddaughter was kidnapped! Don't you people have security!" Blade said through gritted teeth.
"Sir, calm down. We're doing all that we can to ensure her safe return."
"That sure as hell be a lot or this school is going down," Vanessa growled. All three adults snapped their attention to her. "I want her found unharmed, or this school will pay."
Drake watched as Drina slept peacefully on the bed. They were in a large bedroom filled with any child's dream toy. After she was given a sedative to fall asleep, Drake had ordered that she was not to be harmed.
From what Drake had heard, they had taken some of her blood, warmed it up and injected it into his body. They had also injected a chemical that increased cell division that quickly gave him enough blood to live. He had risen from the dead with his daughter's blood.
He knew her mother was Vanessa. She was the spitting image of her mother. Her skin was a light tan due to his genes. He heard she had taken out 15 guards just by looking at them. She had extraordinary powers. From what he heard, she was telekinetic and telepathic.
Drina stirred in her sleep. She slowly opened her eyes. She saw the man staring at her and screamed. He lunged to cover her mouth, but she threw up a force field keeping him away from her.
"Don't be frightened child. You have nothing to fear from me. I'm not going to hurt you," he said soothingly. Drina looked into his mind and saw that he was telling the truth. She slowly let down her shields.
"You look a lot like your mother, though you did get some of your special abilities from me," he commented.
"You didn't love my mother. You have no heart. You killed families ruthlessly, without any regrets or feelings," she said in a trance-like voice.
"And how do you know that, little one?" he asked.
"I dream of it at night. I live your memories when I sleep. I had to watch as you tore a family to pieces. You're evil. You didn't deserve to be brought back. I had always hoped to meet my father, but now that I know who you are and what you did, I wish that you had never sired me," she said in cold voice.
Drake was taken back. His own daughter hated him. He had many children before, but none of them had ever talked to him like that. She was different from his other children. She was unique.
"Well, that part of my life is over. I am no longer the vampire I once was. You can thank your mother and grandfather for that. You know what, I promise to change just for you. From now on, I will be a good person. Does that sound good?" he said in the most sincere voice. He put his mental shields up. First he had to win her trust, then he had to use her to find her mother and grandfather and take out his revenge.
Drina was so persuaded by his voice that she didn't check his mind. She nodded and hugged her father. Drake smiled evilly.
I did it! Uh-huh! Oh yeah! Please review!
