KRISTINA'S POV

Wow, flying with wings in so freaking awesome. I can feel the wind gliding over them, caressing them. Phenomenal!

I can't believe I snapped like that. I have never snapped, not on accident at least. I really think it was all the pent up energy. I really need to get laid, but I won't do that unless it is with 'Him'.

I need to make my move to America and fast. I know that is where he is; Texas, to be exact. That is one of the few things I have gotten from my visions, but I am not sure if that is where he lives or if that is where I will meet him.

Maybe Vlad's child, Godric, can help me. I know he is a Sheriff for the Dallas area. But what would I tell him? I know nothing of my Eternal Mate. Hell, I'm not even sure if he is a Vampire anymore.

I can now hear all vampires, not just Vlad. Every single one I tried, I had free access to as easily as if they were a weak minded human.

Wow, I feel much better now. I guess it is time to return and apologize. I hate apologizing, but I need to and I will.

I circle around my godfather's estate and see all three of my boys lying in the grass.

I swoop down and land a few feet away and tuck my wings back in. I walk toward Gran-pa, Papa, and Vlad with my head hung low, only to be surprised when a familiar hand raises my chin so that I am looking him in the eye.

"Are you feeling better?" Asks my godfather, with the most caring eyes I have ever seen on a Vampire.

"Much" I exclaim!

He leans forward and lightly kisses my forehead. I lean into his embrace and he holds me close to his chest while I cling to him. Papa and Gran-pa retreat into the house to give us a moment. I don't know what I would do without them.

Vlad leans down slightly to whisper into my ear. "Sunshine, what did you hear that got you so upset? I can't fix anything if I don't know what's wrong."

Without leaving my position of clinging to his shirt, taking in his scent, I answer, "There is nothing you need to fix and I didn't hear anything disturbing, it was just very vivid images of something I never wanted to see. Honestly, I think it was mostly the shock of hearing my first Vampire thought mixed with pent up energy."

We both stood there quietly for a few minutes before I felt myself being picked up and carried inside. Still in Vlad's arms, Papa and Gran-pa come over to us and give me a kiss on the cheek and tell me that they must return to Faerun.

Papa said he would be back the morning after the Kingdom Ball. Honestly, I was kind of relieved that I wouldn't have to see him for a few days. I needed some time to get those images out of my head. Is it possible to scrub your brain?

"What did you see Sunshine?" Vlad asks once we are alone.

Taking a big gulp, I tell him the truth, "I saw what happened in your playroom at the casino tonight."

He tightens his grip on me a little, "I am sorry Min Solsken (My Sunshine), I glamour all of my donors so that you don't have to see the image of me and them together. I guess I will have to be more careful about shielding myself from you." He states, he doesn't seem to understand what upset me.

"My shields have been pretty much nonexistent since I woke up tonight, but don't worry. I will have no problem staying out of your mind from now on. I can even give you a charm to prevent me from hearing your thoughts. I gave Papa and Gran-pa each one forever ago."

I pause before telling him what affected me so much.

"No, I do not like seeing reminders of you with fangbangers, because I know you are better than them. And I hate how they see you, they don't see who you truly are, they just see you as danger and sex. But I am used to it, even though you glamour those you 'feed and fuck', there are plenty who IMAGINE what sex with you is like. I saw your memory, I saw my father fucking some nameless fangbanger. And, like I said, it was an image I never wanted to see. It makes me miss her more." I finished off with a choked cry. I never allow myself to cry over Momma dying.

"Can I stay here for a few days?" I ask him. Technically, I am part of his nest, but I don't always stay in the estate.

"Of course you can." He answers and just continues to hold me. Vlad truly is another father, plus a brother, all rolled into one.

"Why don't you ever talk about her?" He asks out of nowhere, but he is right. I never talk about her.

"It's too painful. I miss her so much, but Papa never talks about her, except for occasionally saying that I am a lot like her. She sacrificed herself for me and Papa. It was all because of me that she got kidnapped and died. And I knew all of it, but I couldn't tell her because it was her fate. Do you know how hard that is? To see what will happen to people and not be able to do anything about it. It haunts me every night. That's why I don't sleep much."

"I am sorry, Min Solsken (My Sunshine). You can talk to me about her. I miss her very much as well. I can't imagine what it must be like to see all these events and only be able to change some of them. That is a very large responsibility to place on anyone." Vlad says to me, surprisingly it does make me feel better.

"Will you hold me until I fall asleep like you used to when Papa would go away?" I practically beg him.

"Of course, why don't you rest in my day chamber with me?" He suggests.

"You know, if it were anyone but you, I would think that you were propositioning me." I smirk at him, I learned that smirk from him but I have perfected it which drives him crazy.

"Well, you are very beautiful and I would definitely try to have my way with you if I didn't think your family would kill me."

I just laugh at him. He continues to carry me into his Day Chamber. I have spent many nights in here with him.

Anyone that saw us would think I was his since I always have his scent all over me, plus I've had his blood. We also used to sleep together all the time. But he truly is my father. I always sleep better when I am with him.

I go to his bathroom and strip down to just my underwear. Stepping out of his bathroom, I make my way to his closet and steal one of his Casino shirts to sleep in, like always.

I was only alone in bed for a few minutes before I feel him join me. I instinctually role over and curl into his side. One hand over his heart and my head on his chest; I feel him place a kiss on my forehead right before I fall asleep.
