"HENRY!!" Vicki called running through the suite in a panic. The caller had said they had Henry and were going to kill him, then come for her and her family-Christina!! It had to be.
Vicki threw her clothes on, jeans, a tight black T-shirt and her tennis shoes that Henry had started making her wear. She pulled her hair back, she wanted to see the moment she killed this bitch, nothing was going to stop her.
She knew where she needed to go, thanks to Ward. The cabbie said it would take about twenty minutes to get there. Vicki was not happy.
"Then you'd better hurry the fuck up!" She had grabbed the sword, just in case. Christina had Henry, why hadn't she heard anything??
Dammit! She promised Henry nothing would happen to him. She swore it. Tears of anger were right behind her eyes. She was trying to save all of her rage for Christina. Henry was too nice, he should have let her die at the theater that day. Let the lamps kill her, instead, he had offered her his wrist. Never, never again.
When they arrived at the ruins, Vicki jumped out, throwing some money at the cabbie instructing him to stay in the car and wait.
She ran as quickly and as quietly as she could, knowing that Christina would hear her anyway. She felt Christina's prescence. How the hell did she get Henry here?
When she rounded the corner of one of the remaining towers, she saw them. Christina appeared to be kissing Henry..
Vicki was enraged.
She rushed Christina but when she got close, she realized Christina had been trying to drain Henry. Christina dropped a limp, pale looking Henry to the ground. Henry looked at Vicki with glazed eyes.
"Help me.." he whispered out.
"What the fuck did you do to him you bitch?"
Christina was wiping Henry's blood from her mouth with the back of her hand, the two women circling each other.
"I was just having a little fun until you got here. You are the one I really want to kill and your children, so they'll be out of the way, for our family. I want to keep Henry, he was mine first and now that I have started the chemistry change, I can be his soulmate, the mother of his children."
"Like hell you will." Vicki lunged at her, Christina was caught off-guard, Vicki knocked her to the ground, rolled over her and stood back up. She dropped the sword in the process.
"Well, well, you have gained some interesting skills." Christina said, wiping her own blood from her mouth.
"I have many skills.." Vicki shot back.
Christina screamed and lunged for Vicki but Vicki spun around and caught her in the back with her closed fist, knocking Christina to the ground once more.
Christina was confused now.
"Did our little Henry here turn you? You seem to match me in strength or is it that you know I'm just a better lay than you and you re full of adrenaline? I had Henry first..he's mine." Vicki was seething by now. She stomped over to the now laughing Christina.
"Before I kill you, let me make one thing clear. Yes, I thank you for bringing Henry to me. But, I'm going to honor Elizabeth's wishes and send you back to hell."
Christina stopped laughing, "You cannot kill me, Henry doesn't want me dead, do you lover?" Vicki's eyes cut to Henry engough to see that Christina was wrong, so very wrong.
"Henry?" Christina asked again. Henry never took his eyes off of Vicki, just as Elizabeth had asked and his eyes told her..kill her.
"I hate you for what you've done to me, but I agree, thank you for saving me for Vicki, it was you who helped fulfill the prediction."
Christina was pissed and hurt.
"I changed everything for you Henry, my life, I want you to be with me, you know you want me, I was your first love..your only love."
"You are wrong Christina, you were my first lover, not love. I didn't know true deep love until Vicki. She is my life, forever...you are nothing to me." He turned away as he said it.
Vicki was close enough to the sword that she was able to stomp the hilt, causing it to become airborne , catching it with her left hand, adding her right to it for balance and swung at Christina's head.
Christina was still looking at Henry with stunned eyes..then swoosh...
In one fluid motion, Vicki swung. Christina grabbed for her throat, making gurgling noises, her head suddenly dropping off to one side.
Vicki, after making sure she was dead, ran over to Henry. He was so weak, he needed to feed. Vicki offered her wrist,but he didn't want to feed that way. It had been so long, he was afraid he couldn't stop. During their lovemaking that was one thing, that was sensual, this would be lifesaving.
"Henry, just do it dammit! Stop being so stubborn..Do it now!" Vicki was scared, scared she would lose him if he refused.
He finally consented and was glad that he hadn't taken any the night before. She might not have been able to handle it today.
He took just enough to get by until they could get back to the hotel and he could get a couple of bags in him.
She walked him over to Christina.
"We need to burn her, to make sure." Henry said.
"Hey, your not upset that I just whacked her are you?" Vicki was hoping he was not going to be sad at her killing Christina.
"No, just mad that I hand't done it before now. I'm sorry it had to be you, sorry I put you through it. She was my problem and I didn't take care of it." Henry looked at Vicki, wondering what she thought of him.
"Awww and all this time I just thought you were being nice and saving her for me!" ever the smart ass.
They burned her body, with Vicki chanting.."Ding dong the bitch is dead.." took the cab back to the hotel, Henry vamped him to erase what he saw, just in case.
Vicki helped Henry back to the room and fed him a three bags of blood, just to be sure. Henry fell asleep, with Vicki watching over him.
She put her hand on his chest, to fell his heart. It was then, and only then, that the ever strong Vicki now Fitzroy let the tears go. She cried until she had no more tears, laying her head on her husbands chest she fell asleep still crying.
Vicki had saved their family, Henry...she hoped Elizabeth would be happy..she thought as she drifted off...
