"I vill," Thomas smiled at his father. This was his chance! His one chance to talk with Mina! "But… you do realize this vill make me her master?" He was fairly sure his father knew the risks, but wasn't sure if he had considered them. Thomas would have the ability to order Mina about because it was his venom-laced blood that had killed her.
"I know," Vlad frowned and looked down. Then he smiled. "But I finally have the feeling that you are going to do the right thing. And the child will be born free." That was all worth it. Thomas had earned his trust in the last few weeks. "And please, hypnotize the pain away for her. I'll go mad if I hear her scream."
"I vill, and thank you." The younger vampire smiled calmly. "Please have trust in me father." He asked as he opened the door to enter Mina's room.
"I do." That was the last he heard from his son before Mina died.
*********************
Mina was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding her hands in her lap. She was deep in thought and hardly noticed when the vampire sat down beside her. "Oh," She looked at Thomas in surprise. "Where's Vlad?"
Thomas cocked his head. "My father is too in scared to harm you. He asked me to do it." He smiled to himself. "He loves you very much."
"I know." She sat up a little straighter, smiling as her cheeks turned pink for the last time. "And I love him too. And I think I'm ready for this." She was slowly forgetting her sister's death at this young man's hands eleven years ago. "I trust you to turn me." Mina vaguely understood Vlad's fear of harming her. He HAD actually bitten her a few times, of course with her permission, but this was different. Very different.
Thomas smiled. His cheeks would have turned pink but instead he just put a hand over hers. This was his one chance. "Then please don't mind when I do this."
"What-" The young woman started but it was cut off. Thomas grabbed her cheeks and kissed her full on the mouth. It was long and tender and Mina's face instantly became hot. Her eyes fluttered. Soon she found herself kissing him back.
When Thomas pulled away he looked just about as faint as Mina. "Mina, I have finally seen what my father has loved in you for so long, and I can't let him keep it all to himself. I won't."
The girl was stunned. "I… THOMAS!" She slapped a hand over her mouth. "I do care about you but… I can't."
"That vas all I vanted." He assured. "Just between us. That vas all I vanted." He looked down and away. It had been an impulsive move on his father's fiancée, his future step mother. He was far from satisfied though. But a drink from her and that sweet kiss would have to do. He brushed back his silvery blonde hair in discomfort and embarrassment.
The girl touched his hand again. "I guess it will be alright." She wished her blush would go away. "As long as it is the last of it." It wasn't that she didn't like it- far from that, actually. Thomas was just as loveable as Vlad when you got close enough to him- but she felt doubt growing inside her. Anymore and she felt she would be caught between them like someone at the gallows.
The awkward tension was hurting Thomas's stomach the way it had the first night he saw her. "It is. I svear." He crossed his unbeating heart with a claw. "Now…" Vlad would be getting curious as to what was happening. "Are you ready?" He rubbed his thumbs together thoughtfully.
"I guess." Mina looked at him with a weak smile. "I can't put it off forever."
"As you vish." He put on hand on the back of her head and pulled the girl into his lap. His eyes glowed a slow shade of blood red as he hypnotized Mina into unconsciousness. She drooped like a wilting flower in his arms. The vampire leaned over her and very gently pushed his fangs through the skin on Mina's neck.
He closed his eyes and slowly began to drink. This was another thing for his father to love about her. The blood was sweet, and somehow savory at the same time. It would be a shame to end such a delicious blood supply. He tried not to think about it though. As he pulled away because her heart was slowing the hardest part of turning a victim came. He licked his fangs sadly before using a fang to slit his wrist. As the blood came he placed his wrist onto the girl's lips. The blood ran out of the wound and down her throat. He took it away when the cut had healed completely.
He winced when she began to writhe in pain. The girl whined in her sleep as she clutched the Thomas's suit when her heart stopped. He sighed and stood up, holding her to his chest. The vampire pulled back the bed sheets and tucked her in gently. The silence welled in the room and he was practically forced out the door by an invisible force that told him to leave her. He found his father waiting outside for him. "It is done." He said and trudged away to lie down and settle his stomach butterflies.
*****************
When Mina woke she couldn't even lift her head. Vlad was lying next to her, holding her hand. The light of his life, though extinguished, was still here and that was what mattered. He kissed her on the forehead. "Velcome to the afterlife, Mina Harper." She giggled weakly and managed to sit up next to him.
He turned his head to the side thoughtfully. While she seemed so different now, she was not. It was the same girl here with him, and he loved that. She smiled. "So… Uhm…." She looked thoughtful, her now dark eyes having lost none of their shine. "May I have something to drink?" Her stomach was a little tight but she knew she would need something to drink.
"Oh!" Vlad laughed. "Oh of course!" He picked up his loved one and carried her to the kitchen for her first drink as one of the undead.
*******************
Two months later Vlad found himself at the altar. The ring bearer, a little werewolf child that was the daughter of one of Vlad's friends, trotted up the aisle with the pillow in her jaws. Thomas rocked on his heels and nodded approvingly at his father. He smiled at Mina as well. "You may kiss the bride." The ghost that was dictating the wedding wrung his hands together and smiled as Mina lept into Vlad's embrace and kissed him warmly.
********************
Six months after that a new member was added to the Hide family. Her name was Sarah Rose Hide. Three days after the baby came Mina carried her into the hall when the doorbell rang. The baby, just as pale as her mother and father and twice as adorable, giggled. The young vampire tickled her chin and opened the door. Thomas came in and wrapped them both in a hug. "Ah, Mommy Dearest!" The vampire had already taken to calling her that. He backed up and let his step mother smiled in surprise and wave him inside. "So this is my new little half-sister." He examined the baby girl.
"Thomas! Welcome home." The door was always open for him now. He would have lived there if he hadn't found a nice place of his own a few towns over.
It seemed that something had changed in Thomas since he returned to stay with his father. He couldn't seem to bring himself to kill every meal, or even most of them now. Though his slightly cruel sense of humor remained it was more bearable. And, even though they knew they weren't supposed to, he managed to share a kiss with Mina, even if it was only on the cheek, every so often. It gave him that sense of happiness he had so longed for.
The blonde man smiled to himself as he came into the living room where Vlad was reading. Igor was still tending to the baby shower gifts, including toys that belonged to his new mistress. "I vould have come earlier," He began to form an excuse for himself. "But you know how things are. I'm still working on the papers for my home." He really was- he needed to make it seem as if no one lived on the private property of his large Victorian home and make a name to make the fake proof of purchase under.
"I understand." Vlad smiled and stood to fix the other two vampires a glass and a bottle for Sarah.
Mina offered the child to Thomas. He took his new sister into his arms carefully, knowing she was invulnerable though sensitive. She had short red hair, just like her mother's. He noticed with delight that her eyes were a beautiful hazel color. But there was a definite resemblance to Vlad as well. The vampire rocked her gently. "You are a beautiful girl." He cooed. "And you look so much like your daddy." He paused and looked at Mina, who nodded kind of knowingly. He let the little girl grab the points of his ears and coo. "Our daddy. Daddy Dearest."
