Bad Vlad's P.O.V

"Hello little brother"

"Ingrid", I hissed, what the hell is she doing here, a couple of months ago she left to Romania to take her seat properly on the high council, last I heard from her she was living in luxury and actually refraining from biting breathers, she and good me had become close after the whole Elizabeta incident, well that was good me.

"So is it true then, are you actually passing yourself as evil?" she smirked, her eyes then directed to Briony, "A a new one?" she asked, "I didn't think you were the type Vlad".

"Go stick a stake in it", I snarled, "Before I do it myself"

"Oh so it is you then, typical just when I get the council to actually listen to your Peace treaty", she snapped, I laughed. "Do you really think I care about some stupid peace treaty?" I said standing up from my seat; even in heels, I was still taller than she was.

Ingrid backed up a little but still determined to undermine me; Briony sat watching the whole thing, how about I give her a show?

Using my powers I flung Ingrid into the hall, I could hear ribs crack and she screamed out in pain, Bertrand stepped forward but Briony beat him to it, already jumping over the sofa and trying to rush over and help Ingrid, like I was letting that happen, I grabbed her sore arm and she screamed hitting me furiously.

"Let go!" she hissed but I just ignored her, "Bertrand you see to Ingrid", I said, as he walked over I stopped him, "and make sure she is still in as much pain as possible", I whispered. With that, I flitted Briony and I back to my room.

Briony's P.O.V

I swear to God I am sick of flitting around everywhere! Haven't vampires ever heard of walking?

Vlad brought us to his room and I have to admit I was a little scared, he seemed to be getting worse every day,

"What the fuck was all that about?" I snapped as we landed, for once I remembered to hold my breath. "Believe me Ingrid has had it coming to her for a long time", he grumbled, aw was poor Vlad in a huff, will shit for him because I wasn't done yet.

"Not just that, fucking cutting my arm and bring a dead dude back to life!" I hissed, "What the hell is going on?"

"Look it's none of your concern", he snapped,

"I think it is my concern, considering you dragged me into it", I growled.

"Just drop it" Vlad snapped, "No", I hissed.

Vlad flitted over and pressed me against the wall, "It wasn't a suggestion", he snarled. I tried to push him off me, only managing a little; he just made a very big mistake. My eyes changed to their shade of yellow and I could feel my finger nails tingling, sharp claws growing from them, I growled and pushed him off me, I wasn't planning on changing fully, this form was far more intimidating. I was sick of being pushed around like a goddamn human.

"I said no!" I shouted, Vlad's eyes darkened and he bared his fangs, at this point we were ready to lunge at each other's throats, are body's inches away from each other, which is why what happened next was very surprising,

Vlad kissed me.

Bertrand's P.O.V

I helped Ingrid to her feet, she was different appearance wise, her hair was longer and she had grown her fringe so it was at the side, and there was also the fact that she looked in immense pain.

"You're alive?" she gasped, I just shrugged, "Vlad's doing", I said. I flitted her to her old room, everything was the same, and it was as if I never left, well, died.

"But, how's that possible?" she asked as she sat down on the sofa, me quickly following, "I think it had something to do with that girl, Briony", I replied. Ingrid looked confused before sighing, "Vlad is so like dad, such a weakness for beautiful women", she muttered and I couldn't help but laugh.

"So, how do you think he turned bad again, what happened?" she asked, "I don't know", I replied, "must've happened before I was revived, Briony probably knows".

I realised there were a few people missing, "What happened to Erin and Malik?" I asked, Ingrid's eyes grew wide and she blinked, "you don't know?" she questioned.

She then filled me in, on Elizabeta, the fight, the count almost dying and the pair leaving for Paris.

"Well that must have been eventful", I muttered, "So um, what are we going to do about Vlad?" I asked, Ingrid sighed, "I don't know", she said, "First we need to find out what happened, then sort out what to do". I nodded in agreement.

There was then a sudden noise of people shouting, Briony and Vlad.

"It wasn't a suggestion"

"I said let go!"

Ingrid and I both glanced at each other, "Maybe we should leave them for a while", I said, "I agree", she replied.

Let's just hope Vlad doesn't kill her before we get to talk to her.
