+Hi, this is chapter 2 of Valkyrie's Story. !Read&Rate! Thanks!-Bex.x

Valkyrie's POV:

When I got home, Dad was waiting for me. Nan helped me out of the car and I went to hug my dad. I asked where my mum was and he said she was sleeping and I could check on her later. Renfield pushed past me and went into a room, Dad's room.

Dad and I ate dinner and I went to do my homework. I saw him walk past my bedroom door, he peeped in to make sure I was doing my homework. I smiled and he got my TV remote and lowered the volume. The channel was on wildlife, to help with my homework on meerkats.

"Dad, where's Mum?" Valkyrie asked. Vlad sat down on her bed where she was doing her homework. He guessed she was old enough to understand love and relationships. And the truth. He sighed and took her hair out of her face. He smiled and she closed her eyes. Valkyrie loved her dad, they'd been together forever.

"Your mum was poisoned today, she's not feeling very well, that's why Renfield's here, to help her." Vlad said, he looked tired. These days, he barely spent time with his daughter because he was busy with the coexistence plan, but it didn't mean he didn't love her.

"Oh, ok, I'll make a card for her." Valkyrie said. Vlad was about to go but Valkyrie stopped him, "Dad, I'm not stupid. I'm in year 8 and I'm going to be 13 soon. I can see you still love Mum. Just remember this, whatever she did, forgive and forget." Vlad stared at his daughter, he wondered when she grew up to be so mature. Val sighed then she grabbed a pillow and hit Vlad on the face and started laughing.

"Hey! Just this morning you were acting like a baby." Vlad laughed he got a pillow and started hitting her.

"Yeah, well, I just wanted to show Mum that no matter what happens and if you and her never get back together, I will always love you." Valkyrie said. She knelt and hugged her dad, she could smell his perfume and she loved it. She buried her head into his shoulder and he squeezed her and she squirmed. "I love you, Daddy." She laughed.

Vlad went to sleep at 10pm. Renfield and his stepmother were gone and Valkyrie was asleep. He had to sleep in Erin's room because he had laid her on his bed. His eyes were open in the dark. He kept wondering what Erin did to Malik, to get herself poisoned. Vlad sighed and remember the day he and Erin first met. The day he fell for her charm, the silly things he did to get her in his stream of girls. Vlad had never had a real girlfriend before. After Erin he had some girlfriends but when Valkyrie came he had stopped dating. He had to give up some dreams for his daughter and it was worth it because he'd rather have a family than nobody. 'Kismet Hardy, not kiss me Hardy' Erin had said when they were doing their history homework when they were 17. He wished he was 18 again, he wished he could reverse him biting Erin. He wished it were someone else so he wouldn't suffer much hate. He drifted off to sleep.

Erin awoke and looked around sharply. She quickly got out of Vlad's bed and opened the door to see if anyone was there. When the coast was clear, she sneaked to her bedroom to find Vlad fast asleep, clutching her pillow. After she fainted, everything went pitch black and she couldn't remember anything. She walked to the kitchen and saw that Vlad had wiped her blood away. She knew the secret about Malik. Vlad didn't kill the real Malik, that one he killed was actually Elisabeta, Malik's mother. The real Malik was alive and walking and she knew what she had done to him.

It was 4am when Vlad awoke. He walked into the living room to see Erin staring at the blank screen of the plasma TV. She didn't realise him walking in and sitting next to her. She suddenly turned and saw him. She smiled. "Thank you, I didn't expect you to help me. After what I did." She said.

"I had to help you, I loved seeing you beg for me." Vlad said, he wasn't joking. This made Erin sad and insecure. Was the boy she loved 12 years ago, this cold hearten not even being the fact he was a Vampire? Erin stood up and walked out, Vlad didn't care to follow. She later returned with a burnt photo and chucked it at him and went to sit somewhere else, just not near Vlad.

Vlad studied the photo and remembered when he burnt it. He was angry, he was upset and he wanted to do all he could to forget her. But this girl had his child, he couldn't forget her even if he had dropped billions of pianos on his head to create amnesia. Vlad sighed and gestured for Erin to sit next to him. She did, she didn't want to see his bad side again. "I am sorry." Was all Vlad could say. Erin didn't want him to apologise, she wanted to say sorry but she couldn't bring herself to say it again. Erin started crying and Vlad did something to her that he hadn't done in years. Wipe her hair out of her eyes behind her ears. Erin smiled and embraced his comfy gesture.

"So, what do you do when you cant sleep at 4 o'clock in the morning? I normally read a book, speaking of books, I never finished reading 'Romeo & Juliet'. I forgot it when I left." Erin said, she stood up and walked to the bookcase and looked though, she was happy because there it was, her book. The bookcase was filled with William Shakespeare books and both Vlad and Erin adored Shakespeare. Erin took it out and went to the page which had a bookmark sticking out and started reading it, lying on the sofa.

"Urm, today is Saturday and Val and I normally go out to watch a movie, if the suns not there and we were going to today but since you're here..." Vlad started. Erin looked up from her book and could see where he was going. He obviously didn't want her to go but since he was trying to accept her again, he wondered if she had any ideas.

"Oh, sorry, I don't mean to intrude on your schedule, don't worry I can find something to do... Wait, I got a film in my bag we could stay in and have pancakes?" Erin said, she looked hopeful Vlad would accept. Vlad sighed and looked at the ground, he didn't want to hurt her feelings. "Or not..." Erin said. She continued reading her book and a tear rolled down her face, she put the book up so he couldn't see her cry.

"No...It's ok. We can, I could even help with the pancakes, in fact, it could be a family thing." He replied. He noticed that she was crying so he wanted there to be no tension in their relationship. Erin wiped her tears away and grinned she put the book down and hugged Vlad. Vlad leaned in to kiss her and she accepted it.

Erin pulled away and stroked his face, "I'm sorry for leaving, but I'm here now, with you and Val, and that's what matters." Erin said, they kissed again and Erin went to have a shower leaving Vlad happier than he was 12 years ago, before she left carrying their baby.

It was half past 8 in the morning and Valkyrie was still asleep. Vlad helped Erin with the pancakes and things had got messy. It had seemed that they were having a great time. Valkyrie walked in the kitchen to see her parents throwing flour and each other and kissing, she smiled. She decided to join in too and Vlad sprinkled flour in his daughter's hair, she shook her head vigorously to get it out.

"Now, now, children! Let's not waste the flour, we need it for... pancakes? My favourite!" Valkyrie said, her parents actually got on with the cooking and stopped messing around. Valkyrie started sweeping the kitchen floor and watched them sternly to prevent anymore mess.

Finally, when Vlad and Erin were done making breakfast, they all sat around the dining table and started eating. The pancakes weren't too bad, Vlad thought to himself. He still had flour all over his face and his nose ans Erin wiped it off. "Right, before I forget, I need to get that DVD from my bag. It's Avengers: Assembled. I like Marvel." Erin said she wiped her mouth and left the table.

They watched the movie and Erin cuddled up to her boyfriend while their daughter took interest in the movie. Valkyrie smiled to herself, she was happy her parents were back together and she hoped that they could be a proper family for a long time to come. For internity actually because they're Vampires.
