Chapter One: Feeding & The Curse

January 31st, 10 months earlier.

Arkady had already been up for the better part of the morning, seeing as the twins...his son and daughter Alexander and Chantal were with his mere for the day. Victoria and he could spend it well earned with each other, of course. But it was not his love for his wife that had risen in his chest, but his thirsting blood lust that morning. And he had to sate it before the morning was over. Carefully guiding himself down the stairs of the second level of the Manor he walked down those stairs without another thought. His graceful movements almost like a cat, of course that was just another detail in him being a half vampire. But the French were graceful as well, and being a French pureblood wizard helped in that manner. Running hand through his rich black and red hair, he stepped down the stairs.

According to his senses, his wife was still asleep in their bedroom…Well a couple of years ago it had just been his room, but now it served them both as well as their children. Arkady smiled as he gave a curt nod to his house elf Curtis, her large eyes held happiness for her young Master. She'd watched him group up from his birth, as she had been the one to take care of him when her Mistress Mya could not. And Curtis had served her pureblood family for many years past and to come. "Does the young Master require something to eat?" she asked in her squeaky voice to Arkady. He shook his head no, but spoke what he did need. After all he could confide in this elf. "Non, Curtis…I'm afraid food is not what my stomach wishes to please it," he said, watching the knowledge pass in her eyes. "Yes young Master, not continue on," she replied in an after thought.

The dark blue eyed, twenty five year old wizard continued on his way passing by the kitchen as well as the rooms. Not wanting to do anything but feed his stomach what it yearned for. With a twist of his finger, the basement door opened and he grimaced inwardly, sometimes the feeding just got to him when it could. Arkady knew it was wrong, but he couldn't stop the changes that had occurred when he was younger. There's nothing I can do to change what I am, and Victoria loves me no matter, He thought with a half smile, as he descending down yet another set of stairs again. The basement in the Heart Manor was no ordinary one of course. Their basement held muggles, and for you not rich in the speak of Wizards. Muggles were people that didn't have magic.

Amedeus Heart, whom was Arkady's father, had captured muggles who seemed worthy and had to life. In real life the father of the large Heart family was not always cruel, but that still didn't mean he wasn't a Death Eater. Of course, these humans were under the Imperio curse, they were controlled to obey the second to youngest son in the family. Slowly stepping down into the cellar, he grasped a hand of one of the muggles without another thought and gently wrapped his hands around the woman's waist. Arkady's eyes flashed a dark dangerous blue as the creature behind his eyes surfaced as his fangs sank lengthened in his mouth. Slowly he moved her hair from her neck, letting his mouth gently rest above the pulse in her neck. Without another thought, he sank his teeth home into the skin of his latest victim; the pleasure of drinking the tart metallic blood that gushed into his mouth filled him with nothing but pleasurable thoughts. The blood that rushed from the wound in his victim's throat was sent in scalding waves down his throat as he moved his jaws in a way to drink from her. Those dark eyes of his had already snapped shut the moment he had bitten her.

The blood that was soon rushing down into his stomach, was feeding that tasteful thirst that the vampirism in his blood brought to him. Arkady had to feed, and that's exactly what he had been doing. His father had thought it necessary for the protection of the family. That his son had something to snack on if the bloodlust came upon him during any time. Damn glad I caught it, He thought as he reluctantly let the person go as they sank down to the floor. Just like anyone he drank from, they would be weak for a while. They were fed food, and drank too make sure that things went smoothly. There was no one at home in the eyes of the people he fed from. All that was there was the thought to obey. Slowly, his eyes drifted over another person and he slowly helped them up and held them by the waist. Arkady could slowly feel his bloodlust disappearing as it became satisfied from the blood that was in his stomach now. He felt like he could sleep for hours on end, but that wouldn't be the case soon enough. But he knew all to well that that blood in his stomach now, would keep him for along time. To his culture, the French. Vampires and others who had adapted the culture of vampirism…the bloodlust was called the ardeur. A basic thing, that meant burning fire…like and almost white hot fire in your system. Like I can't recall the burning sensation in my veins to feed and slaughter? He thought with a sneer as his fangs sank into the neck of the person he held.

He worked his jaws and only drew what he could take in again. Arkady's belly was full, and he could feel the hot liquid seeping into his own veins. But remained would tide his blood lust. He cracked his neck to the side, and yawned as the weight in his jaws from his fangs disappeared as they disappeared into much smaller canines. The young Death Eater rose up to walk up the stairs onto the first floor. All he wanted to do was get to his wife, and relax for a while. Arkady yawned and rubbed a hand over his stomach slightly. "At least that's over," he said with a soft sigh as he walked towards the stairs that lead to the second floor. As soon as he was on the floor, he could sense Victoria around somewhere and followed that sensing he had.

Meanwhile…

Victoria Heart was slowly awakening up in the second floor of the Heart manor to a lovely morning and weekend. It might've been happy and lovely, but as she stretched out on her side of the bed, her hands found the empty side of the bed that Arkady slept on. And she couldn't help but breathe in the scent of him on the pillow. His scent was of pure sunshine, but she missed him already. Her mother in law had told her that she wished to take out the twins for the day. Much to the pleasure of Victoria, it was a chance to be with Kady as well as rest up too. Thank you Mya, She thought with a small sleepy smile.

Since her husband's mother had twins once herself, she knew exactly how Victoria had felt. And once and a while a bit of time to oneself was just what a mother needed. But Victoria couldn't help it right now, that she missed her husband. She had felt him leave her earlier in the morning, and she knew that only one thing would make him rise so early. She knew in her heart that he was perfectly fine; his blood lust rose up at once in a while times. It didn't happen that often, but when it did he had to take care of it. He disappeared to keep both Victoria and his family safe.

Sighing Victoria pushed the warm covers that made her melt and want to sleep in more, but knew she has to get up anyways. She pushed those warmth soaking blankets off her tan body. To her, she knew that her family was safe and that she could relax and enjoy herself well off. A little perm and pampering never did and wife harm. Now did it? But of course, it didn't now…all she wished to do was take a nice hot warm bubble bath and bathe herself into a soft place. So with a flick of her wand, which she had picked up from her bedside table the tap in the bathroom began to run. The taps in the tub turned on, and Victoria smiled thoughtfully as she gently stood up. They had added on to Arkady's childhood room, adding a larger bathroom and a room for the twins as well.

But as Victoria stood up, a rush of dizziness came over her so fast she had to hold onto one of the bedpost of the four poster bed just to stay up on her own two feet! She hoped like hell that she wasn't coming down with something like a nasty cold, of flu she couldn't take are of her children if she was sick. Once it had passed she shook her head, and moved towards the bathroom. Careful of what she was doing, she closed the door behind her and removed her bedding clothes placing them in a hamper. When she turned around the clothes were gone. Probably to be cleaned, She thought with a muse. When she turned around and began to lower herself into the tub, since she had barely placed her feet in the water. She gasped out as she felt a tight tenderness in her breasts, looking down at herself her eyes widened as she realized there was a major change.

Frowning at the sudden change, a thought hit her with a struck that made her gasp out in realization. Not only need her breasts feel tender, but she was pregnant! And her little twins were not even three yet. Her baby blue eyes narrowed as she stepped out of the bath, she didn't much feel like a warm bath now. Victoria Heart was pissed off. As soon as she found Arkady he was in a world of hurt.

Screwing the bath, she had taken a short and brief warm shower to calm her nerves just a little. But Victoria was in no mood, she was pregnant for god sake! She need not wanted to relax when all she would do was go over what her delightful husband had done to her now. A peachy mess she was in because of his dirty dance. She had flicked her hair dry with a mutter spell, and dressed swiftly. Victoria had no clue what she might do once she was downstairs, but she didn't want to sit around all day and sulk for what she was carrying now. Besides, if she had seen Kady right at the minute she just might've removed that part of him from his body.

Of course, she would sorely miss a part that she had too much fun with when she tempted him all to well. So moving through the house, Victoria's feet led her to some place that she enjoyed all to well. But she hadn't a clue of why she ended up standing before one of the large libraries in her husband's house. It was no surprise that she found herself sitting down in the library and contemplating what she was going to do. Standing up she began to look through some of the books. Hell maybe she could get off with cursing her husband for a while just to serve him right.

You've made such a mess now Kady, She thought with a shake of her head as she pulled the first book that caught her eyes with an usual name. She sat herself down in an overstuff chair wanting to be comfortable and read the book which was named 'Moste Potente Curses'. She had to clue what that meant, but Victoria opened it anyway. Flipping through the book the woman didn't read anything that didn't catch her eye, but she stopped as one spell caught her attention perfectly. A sly smile worked its way onto her face she read what the spell did.

Ingravesco Curse will cause the victim to become pregnant, regardless of their gender, male or female.

Well well, that's just what she wanted, it was perfect and her sweet husband was going to get the surprise of his life when she next saw him. Victoria's smile glinted in her eyes, as her smile turned cold, it was absolutely perfect, and she had just the right plan to work too! Payback was such a fun thing, now wasn't it? Yes, of course!

Author Note: Thank you for reading, a bit hasty isn't Victoria? And Kady is so clueless! Just wait until the following chapters, I'm sure they will be funny Read and Review! Merci!
