-----------------------------------------Part 3-------------------------------
Amalia had been walking the grounds hoping to see the woman that had taken away her most precious gift. Amalia hummed softly. As Amalia slowly looked up from the ground, she saw a woman riding a beautiful black steed. Surely enough the woman was Viktoria, Amalia's face lit up, Viktoria rolled her eyes as she rode up to her, "Can I help you?" Viktoria asked, without getting off her horse, "Forgive me, Vikt..." She was immediately cut off, "To you, you'll address me as Viktoria Van Buren or Lady Van Buren. Nothing of any other sort, do I make myself clear?" Viktoria spat, "My apologies, Lady Van Buren. I was quite worried about you." Viktoria glared to Amalia's words, "I am not weak unlike you. Feelings only get your tied up into a web that you'll shall never break free from. Do not worry your little head, Amalia. For I am well. And my well being doesn't concern you, anyway." Viktoria snarled. She rode off, and Viktor sighed as he rode up too Amalia who now was crying.
"What have I done to her?" She asked, "She has too much pride, after all..." He stopped, "After all what?" Amalia asked, "She holds the most power in our family. So, she can be prideful." He whispered, then rode off riding after Viktoria. Viktor knew of Viktoria's secret, more like dark side. She was the only pure blood of the family. Then again, Viktor's parents were different from Viktoria's. Viktor's parent were once, well, human. Until in a blood frenzy, Viktoria ended up changing them. Viktoria, is the Grand Vampire.
Viktoria slowly stopped by the lake, and dismounted from her horse, "Thank you." She whispered to Shadow, "Viktoria! Viktoria!" She turned to see her brother, "Yes, and what do you want?" She asked, with a soft hiss, "You do realize, Amalia is worried of you?" He asked, "And is it any of hers or anyone's concern to worry about me?! I can handle myself. I saved your ass, so many times, dear brother. It is time, you look at me, ten times stronger than you. And resume your position in the family, as a brother, not a bloody father. Do you understand?" She asked, Viktor didn't speak a word, "DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!" She demanded, Viktor nodded, "Yes, sister." Viktoria smiled and walked to her brother and rested her hands upon his cheeks. Her hands were so cold against his, somewhat warm skin, "You got luck, dear brother. Warm skin over cold. But that is what I get for having such a icy heart." She mustered. Viktoria sighed ever so softly.
"I do not get it, why not marry?" Viktor suggested, "Oh, let me see. I would pass down my horrid genes, not to mention, I can not bite the one I love. Was it not I, who gave you immortality?! Was it not I, who gave your wife immortality?! Was it not I, who gave our family a new happy life, not only in wealth but in health as well?!" Viktoria asked, then she sighed once again, "And yet, I, can not even change someone I love. To be stuck with a life with sorrow and misery. That is my parents asked of me." Viktor shook his head, "No..." Viktor was then cut off, "Do we have the same parents? Why of course not, dear brother. For you were not forsaken. However, I had given upon you, a forsaken life. You could never see. But yet, you begged for this. But you and your brothers, and parents. Had gotten off lucky, the ability to satisfy one's thirst with one simple glass of, wine. And you are able to eat food. And what must I eat? Nothing. What must I drink to satisfy just a small portion of my thirst? Eight glasses of wine. I thirst even now." Viktoria stated with her luscious Hungarian accent.
"Then shall we hunt tonight, dear sister?" Viktor asked, "Yes. I suppose we shall. I do want the brothers to come as well. We shall not go without them." Viktoria stated, as she mounted her house, and positioned herself side saddle, "Oh brother, one more thing. If I hear that you've been speaking to MY guest one more time. I suppose we will see what happens when a Vampire gets tortured to were their wounds do not heal right away, and they beg to the mercy of death. But that mercy shall never come. Do I make myself clear, brother?" Viktor nodded, "Good, then have a well spent day." She whispered as she rode off. Viktoria was not the woman people thought she was.
-----------------------------------Viktoria's Childhood-----------------------------
Viktoria was born in 1350, were the Bubonic Plague was happening. People were scared, and dying. Her true mother was named, Bianka and her father's name was, Akos. They were rich and a prominent family. With everything literally handed to them upon a silver platter. They were both of the Royal Bloodline, Vampires in other words. They didn't live their lives in hiding, however, the rather embrace who they truly were. No one ever messed with the Van Buren's because they knew if they did, consequences were great. And they didn't care of whom they hurt, maimed, or killed. A lot of people had tried hurting them, but could never succeed.
Nine months before Viktoria was born, Bianka woke up not feeling too well. She looked to Akos, "Akos, my darling. I do believe that we are of child." Akos's eyes went wide, "Is this even possible? We were told we wouldn't have a child." Bianka sighed, "Akos, I am with child. But I will say that this may be our only child. I wish to give this child everything that would only seem like in a dream, my love." Akos nodded, "Then we shall give our child everything." Akos smiled as he walked to his wife, and rubbed her cheek ever so softly, "What shall we name the child?" Bianka leaned into her husband's hand, "If we have a daughter, I wish to call her Viktoria." Bianka smiled, "And what of a boy?" Akos asked, "If of a boy, I wish to call him Marcell." Akos smiled, "Then those shall be their names." Akos hugged his wife.
During the months, Akos and Bianka would speak to their unborn child. They would even sing their child. They were loving parents even when the child was not yet born. But on October 31st, Bianka screamed in agony, as she giving into labor, "AKOS! AKOS! COME QUICK!" She screamed, Akos looked at his wife, and scared for the doctor that literally lived with them. He ran in, and walked over to Bianka, "Keep breathing." Bianka did just that, she was breathing hard. Akos held onto his wife's hand, "If you need too, squeeze my hand." And Bianka did multiple times. Bianka was close to passing out. She grunted loudly, and a scream echoed the room, then a soft cry. The doctor was holding the baby, "Congratulations, you have given birth to a little girl." Bianka cried, and she was handed the baby once she was cleaned, "Oh, darling look. Look at how beautiful she is." Akos leaned over and saw his daughter, "Viktoria, our precious Viktoria."
Years had passed, Viktoria was now seven, she was smart, knew fourteen different languages. Including sign language. She even knew how to play what most would call a piano. She even wrote her own pieces. She was very smart, and had a very wealthy childhood. She was granted anything, and everything she ever dreamed of, so yes, she was a spoiled little brat. But though she was spoiled she did have good morals. She would give money the people who were less fortunate than herself. Viktoria was sweet, when she was young.
By she was twenty-one. People were noticing something rather odd about the Van Buren's, they were not aging at all. They decided to run, and go into hiding. Years had passed, more or less a hundred and fifty-three years. Bianka knew that Viktoria couldn't stay in hiding forever. Bianka had found a poor family, "We will give you everything you desire, money, a house. Everything. But I ask of only one thing. Please, take care of my daughter. And you'll have the name, Van Buren. Please, this I ask of you." She looked towards the father, Lucian, "We will do this. Just please help us." Bianka nodded, as she handed them a key to her home, "Please take this." Bianka smiled towards her daughter, "My daughter, is only of the age of seventeen." Bianka lied, "She would be the eldest of my children." He stated, Bianka smiled, "For you see, Viktor will be seventeen. Kraven is of sixteen and his twin brother Marcus. And Lestat is thirteen." Lucian stated, Bianka looked towards her daughter, "Please, my child go with them." Viktoria's heart broke, "But what of you and father?" Viktoria asked.
Soon Viktoria saw three men surround her parents. Lucian held her back. "Ah, if it isn't the Van Buren's." Bianka scoffed, "We are not of the Van Buren's, that was a fake name we gave ourselves. They are the Van Buren's. We are the Chevaliers." She stated, "Well, what comes may, will be upon your lies." Bianka rolled her eyes. The man walked over too Bianka, she slowly took in a deep breath. Viktoria watched with wide eyes. The male grabbed Bianka by the throat, and twisted fast and broke her neck. He then decapitated Bianka. "Mother..." Viktoria whispered, as tears rolled down her cheeks. And they did the same with her father, right before her eyes. The men walked over to the family, "You best not tell anyone of this, or you will be next." Lucian nodded and looked to his new daughter, then to his wife Aiyana. "I am..." Viktoria cut Aiyana off, "Please do not say it." Viktoria slowly stood, and walked to her mother and father's body, "Mother, thank you for the best years of my life, and taking care of me. And thank you for nurturing me, and keeping me brave. I love you, mother. And always will." Viktoria slowly turned her head towards her father, "Father, thank you for also bringing the best years of my life. And taking care of me. And thank you for giving me a shoulder to cry on. I love you, father. And always will." Viktoria whispered, she crumbled to her knees, as she rested her face into her cupped hands, and began to cry hard.
Aiyana watched this and looked towards Lucian. "Poor girl." Lucian nodded, and let her be. Aiyana slowly walked towards her, and rested her hand upon her shoulder, "I am here for you." Viktoria nodded, and in a faint whisper Aiyana heard, "Thank you." Viktoria had an amazing childhood.
---------------------------------------Back to 1805------------------------
Viktoria was standing on the balcony and looked over her land. Tears were now hitting the railing. She couldn't believe that only two years ago she lost her parents. When Viktoria gave her new family a gift of immortal lives, she managed to erase that memory of her parents but what she didn't erase was the fact she was the sole owner of this land, and no one else. So, they did believe that she was born into their family. But she is four hundred and fifty-five years older than them. Viktoria didn't care. She was rich. And a royal bitch. Viktoria slowly took in a deep breath, and head down the stairs. She looked towards the maids, "Please get there belongings together. They leave in an hour." The maids nodded, and in unison they said, "Yes, Lady Van Buren." They all went there separate ways.
Edvard walked towards Viktoria, "Milady, why must we leave? Why can we not stay for a few more days? Please, my daughter loves being here. And it is not too often that we get to be in the grace of you, Madam Van Buren." Viktoria stared coldly towards the male, "If..." She cut off Edvard, "I suppose, that you may stay for the remainder of the week, however, Mister Antebellum, you must leave. And never return. For this home is of that of invites only. You're lucky that I even chose you and your family to come." Viktoria began to walk away, "Thank you, milady." He bowed, "That is all." She whispered, Edvard was about to say something else, "That is all." Viktoria repeated, and walked away completely.
Viktoria walked towards one of the maids, "Bring their belongings back to their rooms, if you would. For they shall be staying with us for an addition of four more days." The maid bowed her head, and walked away. Viktoria walked back outside, with a gentle sigh. She looked over at the stables and saw Amalia admiring the horses. But horse she didn't dare touch was Shadow, however, she looked towards the beautiful steed. Viktoria made her way to the stables, "He is gorgeous, is he not?" Amalia jumped to Viktoria's words, "Yes, quite." Viktoria smiled ever so softly. "You and your family are staying for an additional four more days, does this bother you?" She asked, Amalia shook her head slowly, "No Vi...I mean, Lady Van Buren." Viktoria looked towards Amalia.
"Amalia, thank you." Amalia tilted her head, "For what?" Viktoria smiled, "For not pulling back." Amalia blushed, "Do..Do you still think of that day?" She asked, Viktoria went to the doors, and slowly shut them, "Yes." Viktoria approached Amalia, and softly pressed her lips against Amalia's. Amalia slowly let her arms slinky around Viktoria's neck, she slowly lowered Amalia against the hay. Viktoria slowly deepened the kiss, Amalia's fingers were intertwined into Viktoria's hair. Viktoria felt her body heat up, as if that was even possible. Amalia felt her body heat up. Viktoria and Amalia soon were making love within the stables.
----------------------------------A Day Later------------------------------
Amalia was noticing she was starting to grow feelings for, Viktoria. Viktoria slowly rode out of the stables with: Viktor, Kraven, Marcus, and Lestat. Amalia happened to be there. She saw a gun in each other their hands. "Uhm, Lady Van Buren..." Viktoria glared, "My dearest child, please return inside, for we are about to go hunting." Viktoria stated, as they rode off.
Amalia was confused, what exactly were they going to go hunt at almost eight o'clock at night.
