Victor's Point of View

She was even lovelier than I remembered.

Sure she was also a disobedient pain in the ass, but that wasn't anything I couldn't handle. I may have underestimated her before but I wasn't foolish enough to make the same mistake twice.

It also helped that Rose had burned her bridges with Tatianna. And thanks to our little agreement, Tatianna would finally take care of the meddlesome bunch who threatened to ruin all of my success. I couldn't have them interfering this time…

After years of tweaking and planning the formula was finally complete. This next child would be a failure like all those other brats and this time Rose would give me the child I've always wanted.

"Excuse me…Sir?" A shrill annoying voice pulled me back to the present.

I glanced across the aisle to see that Rose was still blissfully sleeping.

"What is it?" I snapped, annoyed by such an unnecessary interruption.

The look on the Moroi nurses face looked terrified; even more so than the usual fear one usually felt in the presence of Strigoi. Whatever she needed to tell me was certain to annoy me.

"Just spit it out!" I barked.

I had no tolerance for this kind of incompetence.

"It's about the pre-lab blood work you had me draw from Rose; there was a problem."She paused, clearly afraid to elaborate further.

"Go on" I encouraged, trying to keep my tone even. I was losing my patience here.

One look at my face told her if she valued her life she better get on with it.

"Sir, we're not going to be able to do the procedure. Rose is already pregnant."


I know I'm evil, but this is just a little chapter teaser of what's to come. Leave enough reviews and I'll put you out of your misery and post the rest of the chapter tonight : )
