A rival comes
It had been six months since Dmitri had come to the coven and things had gone well for him. Other Death Dealer respected him and he had fit in well as he severed Amelia alone many envied him but did not speak it. Dmitri and Amelia had become close and all knew that he was loyal to her and her alone. It had also become apparent that he had a gift with animals they tended to trust him which had come in handy when dealing with injured horses.
Dmitri swung round his sword clashing with Amelia's once twice they attacked each other both keeping up the pace. The sound of approaching hooves could be heard but neither paid any attention. Suddenly Amelia struck hitting him on the chest and he fell just drawing his danger but to no avail and Victor arrived to see it.
"WELL FAUGHT DMITRI" he called getting from his horse.
"Thank you my lord it was hard I would not have won my lady is far superior to myself" he replied getting up.
"Victor your back so then how was England?" Amelia replied.
"It was fine we have new recruits back with us, one was even a monk before he was seduced by one of Sonja's friends. I am glad to be back two months is far too long to be away from here" Victor replied.
"A priest that is one for the books, come you all must be tired".
"Amelia I would like you meet our news recruit Kraven" Victor said as a young man jumped from a horse.
"Kraven this is Lady Amelia and her Clyde Dmitri. You will stay wit Dmitri while Amelia and myself speak to Marcus" with that the pair walked off the leaving the men alone with the rest of the party that had arrived back.
"So then you are Victors now Clyde well welcome to castle Corvinus it will he hard at first but you will used to it" Dmitri said in a friendly voice.
"I am an elders Clyde I will rise fast I will not be a mere foot solider for long" replied Kraven.
"That will take time in few centuries at least but".
"But nothing you may be scared to rise but I am not I will rise fast and quickly even if you are too scared to" snapped Kraven.
"Listen that kind of attitude will get you no where fast you have to respect the elders and those above you".
"I see little point I was sired by Victor not a common vampire I".
"No idiot I was sired by Lady Amelia and I have not risen high, you will get called pet, favourite all that crap just keep your head down and don't ask for trouble".
"You're scared that I could become greater then you that is it I am now a rival that is all".
"No I respect Amelia you have no idea of the circumstances of how I came here" with that Dmitiri walked off.
Days later Kraven was practicing with Kahn an failing miserably when Amelia an Dmitri walked into the ground an began a duel. Watching the pair Kraven saw that Dmitiri was far superior in the ring then he was.
"You see them both Lady Amelia is strong and her Clyde is a fast he could fight very well before she began teaching him" said Kahn.
"They are good" Kraven replied.
"Now then lets us going against whelp and try HARDER".
A few days later Amelia and Dmitiri stood next to each other talking.
"It is nice to be here with you my lady that incident with Kraven".
"Do not worry we can all see it the tension between you both it is nothing".
"I fell I have let you down I promised not to dishonour you and he is lord Victors".
"They are similar in some ways and Victor will keep him under control".
"I just hope William is caught soon all this trouble".
"It will not be yet I do not think but when he does you will be there, do not get killed Dmitri you are a good friend to have".
"Lady that I the first time since I heard you said that".
"It is what I feel that I cannot help but I am glad to have you".
With that she looked up at the stars and the constellation of Draco burning brightest of all. The End
