† V. Gray Blue †

  Were near the cemetery and began to settle in for the night. As much as it seemed a terrible routine , the Bloody Heaven were fully accustomed to it . They served the vampire instincts and not have a life as an ordinary human person does not bother them .
  Amberlyn was part of that group and smelled a being of the same species it a mile from there. However , it seemed that the person was confused and disoriented , so she did not care and continued to perform his duties quietly.

  The girl was in the middle of the forest , completely confused. She lost the footprints and had no idea where to go . There were three paths before her and none made ​​things clearer for her . The girl was stagnant , looking for each path carefully , unsure what to do . She tried the right path , but was afraid to proceed because the branches were thicker and blocked the moonlight . She knelt on the floor , feeling completely lost and disoriented . Tears burned in her eyes , but she managed to repel them away .
' Confused heart must clarify their doubts , for that cutout , the vital side should be followed .'
  She rummaged through the forest with eyes, in search of the owner of that voice , but found no one . As nothing in his life was natural , the girl accepted the fact that it could be her consciousness and was pondering the riddle he had heard. ' ( ... ) The vital side should be followed .' According to the anatomy of the vampires , it was not very different from human anatomy, vital their side is the left side where the heart is . So she had to take the left path . Determined to take no longer than one second , she got up and followed confident the left . It took a while , but she could smell the sandalwood that members of Bloody Heaven had and soon knew precisely where to go .

- They smell that?
  The others nodded . That smell was unmistakable and they immediately prepared for the jubilant visit that was to come . Bloody Heaven did not like noise or any unnecessary action but could not deny help to someone who was like their ancestors . After all , they knew everything about every vampire in this world and pledged to assist them, if needed.
- It 's coming .
- Looks like we're not the only ones with the ability to resurrect vampires here .
- I think Richard got ready again .
- No, he was killed five years ago . Cameron should have been .
  The sound of dry leaves being crushed by footsteps were getting closer was audible again , hurried steps and awkward for a vampire were perceived and soon the girl had a ' triumphant ' entry tripping over a root and falling down in the middle of the group Bloody Heaven . An old woman grabbed a dry twig and started poking the girl .
- Hey ! What's this ?
- Well , she's a vampire , and very awkward by the way .
- Oh, so you heard ?
- How could we not hear ? Maybe a battalion of children do more silent than you ! How can that be ? His father is as skillful and careful man .
  She immediately rose and stood upright like a stick when he heard the old woman said .
- Do you know my father ?
- Of course ! His father is the most famous vampire of the Supreme !
  The old woman stared at the girl and saw in her eyes that something was different . The girl was trapped by the charm of Renaissance magic and his memory was severely affected during the process . The woman looked at one of the members who brought a mirror with gilt frame .
  Once the girl looked at her reflection , she did not feel anything different , but wondered with his own reflection . The long black hair , his face pale as a vampire and gray eyes , which were becoming gradually to assume a new color .
  The mirror broke into many pieces and the girl knelt with very strong headaches . She could see nothing of what lay ahead , because his vision was filled with fragments of her memories . Daggers and daggers bloodied silver, the body of dead people , the angry green eyes of his opponent , teary eyes when his father was about to die . She remembered everything. Remembered who he was and whence he came , but fainted for a second.
- Are you okay ?
- I need to see my reflection again.
  The old woman brought him a bowl of water and the girl saw the new color of your eyes . Grayish blue, as it always should be .
- Remember your name , little girl?
- My name is Blair . Blair Lockwood .

† IV. At Night †

  Again alone in the room , she looked at the forest , trying to find the Bloody Heaven . Without success, the girl decides to look at the landscape beyond, where you could see the lights of houses and buildings during the night , as if they were distant fireflies her. A sound of footsteps could be heard , but it seemed that people were taking care to make a silent passage . She continued looking until you find the people who were approached .

  To his surprise , the tree branches shifted a distance of three meters from the mansion and two figures jumped the sky , lit by the glow of the moon lonely . Men were certainly vampires . One was taller, with brown hair and sweet , gentle blue eyes , that despite the apparent sadness and melancholy, left the enchanted girl. He wore clothes color cream , leaving you with extremely noble air , the other was slightly lower, with bright green eyes and slightly graying hair , dressed in scarlet colored suit . The gray gaze girl found the serene pond Eye Vampire cream colored suit and she felt comforted and protected as not felt since I woke up . He looked away and another vampire glanced toward her , his eyes wide with terror. She felt that they knew something about it , because the reaction of one of them was clearly surprised and garish .

- Benjamin ! Did you see that girl ?

- Yeah, she seemed to be suffering . I think that's why the Supreme is so distracted and busy in recent days . Moreover , it smells of damp earth and blood . Should certainly be dead .

- But ... Her features are family ! Do not you see how she looks with your daughter ?

  Benjamin growled in exasperation .

- Do not quote my daughter in vain. They may have similar hair color and height , nothing more . Now come on.

  Duke disconcerted with the zeal he had for his daughter even after her death and made ​​a mental note not to do more of that type of comparison to him. However , he began to feel uncomfortable every time you remember the astonished expression of the girl when she laid eyes on Benjamin . Of course she should not be used with people wandering around, but the surprise in her eyes was something completely unusual. He kept walking , trying to forget what had happened , but it was impossible . Logo , Duke began to smell of which Benjamin described. Wet earth and blood, but there was something else . Yes, it was the smell of ashes , the actual proof that she was just a troubled soul and had been invoked against the will , as happened to his friend .

  Dominick was walking down one of the aisles and soon stumbles upon one of the stewards , bends and conveying the message that two visits waited for him in the waiting room . He snorted and went to the place , but without giving any order of hospitality , since he wanted to get rid of as soon as possible whoever had arrived .

  When he reached the middle of the staircase , he froze . What Benjamin Duke Sky and Whistler were doing over there at such an hour ?

- How can I help them ?

- Forgive the intrusion , but only came here to see if my family did something that may have disrespected you at some point .

- Somehow , your whole family has always been great support for me . I trust you. Why is this question ?

- Rumor has it that the Supreme conflict with my domains .

- Of course not! Why would I do that against a family in which all are extremely loyal ? Do not worry about it , Benjamin , we are in the peace agreement .

- I appreciate your hospitality . Good night.

  Vampires came out and Dominick went upstairs , fully dissatisfied with the intrusion .

  Already outside , Benjamin seemed extremely dissatisfied with what he had heard of the Supreme . Duke also realized that it was only acting and just knew they had to prepare for a future war . Blair was dead and that was the big problem , but they do not yet understand why Dominick be taking everything forward.

  Entered the forest once more and heard hurried , like steps with a rush after them . They both stopped when they heard the apathetic , cold voice of a girl .

- Could you please tell me if one day I ever met you?

- Never met before , girl. You must be confused with the others . - Benjamin 's tone was cold and it drew the attention of Duke . It was the first time that the friend was demonstrated as glacial and impatient .

- But ... I'm sure you 've seen ! Please do not wanna be in that mansion with Dominick !

- Only run from there. If you could come up here you can go ahead .

- Can I go with you ?

  Duke looked at his friend , waiting for his reaction. Benjamin looked deeply into gray and morbid girl's eyes and said in a stern and resolute tone :

- You will not belong to this world . You should be dead .

  He walked on, without waiting for the reaction of the girl. Duke approached the girl and put his hand on her shoulder .

- Forgive Benjamin , he lost his wife and daughter and suffered the same as you . Do not give importance to it . Find the Bloody Heaven .

  She rose to face him , but he had already disappeared . So the real solution was in Bloody Heaven , but how to find them ? However , it will be worth it? What Benjamin said it was a hard blow . ' You should be dead ' , that was the phrase that echoed in her mind like a ghost . Despite those words , she could feel a bit of concern in his eyes when he said that. She looked back , but not back to the mansion Dominick . The girl went to the northwest , where you turn the BloodyHeaven . Even if they know nothing about it , the girl would not give up . Dominick could face later, but needed to make sure that really would be a waste of time .

† III. Alone †

  Benjamin was completely alone in the mansion . After losing Hannah and Blair for the second time , nothing was left to him . Richard had come too far in plans to take control and because of that he would have to fix the nonsense that his brother committed. The vampire did not know what was the relationship of Blair that plane , but that no longer mattered . The girl was dead and was no threat to anyone else.

- Benjamin , what will you do?

- I do not know . Richard said that the Supreme will conflict with me , but so far it has not appeared .

- I think he feared the power of her daughter and now she is out of the game , nothing else matters to him .

- I do not know what to think , Duke . See my wife and daughter died on the same day still leaves me vulnerable . For more than five years have passed , I can not get over it the way it should .

  Silence hung in the air in a heavy and uncomfortable atmosphere. Neither knew what to do and where to go and waiting to see if what Richard said was indeed true. However, they could not stand idly by .

- I think we should go to him. Benjamin ? Benjamin !

  Benjamin was completely alienated the conversation . Nothing could hold him to reality and this was clearly becoming a problem .

- What happened ? - He finally replied , with drunken voice.

- You can not go on , you know?

- I know, but there's something that's bothering me . - He stared at Duke - Somewhere I feel that something is wrong and certainly the Supreme is in on it .

- Do not you think we should go there ?

- Yes Let's make a surprise for him .

  The girl was in the library along with Dominick , who was taking care of some paperwork and allowed her to leave the room to do something more productive . She was fully bored , because nothing in those books mattered to her. His attempts to escape to find the Bloody Heaven were all frustrated by his 'father' , which was becoming more aggressive every fault it. Being alone in an unfamiliar place and not knowing absolutely nothing of his life was something terrible .

  With nothing to do, she went to the window , which was locked and looked through the glass that some shadows walked inside the forest with black robes .

   Blood Heaven .

   Your only chance to know who was getting out of his hands like sand escapes through your fingers , unable to hold it , just being able to see her go without knowing if you will see again.

† II. Bloody Heaven †

- But what is this?
  Cameron was gone . He had not helped much , but she could do a search on their own. Maybe Dominick knew something .
  She returned to the mansion before he knew it and left the room , exploring the hallways when he finds who he was looking for.
- What happened ?
- I would like to ask you something .
  Dominick waited in silence , trying to hide his tension .
- You know what Bloody Heaven ?
- Where did you hear that name ?
- I have not heard anywhere , just remember it from somewhere.
- You must stay away from them .
- What are they?
- None of your business.
- And how can I get away from something I do not know ?
  Dominick gritted teeth . The intelligence of it was intact , so he could diagnose with certainty .
- Wait in your room .
  She came back and waited for him , but he was lost in her thoughts . Is it really that could help ? What would she find ?
  Before she could think more , Dominick arrived with a black velvet book and opened it to a page showing a red cup just below the name Bloody Heaven , which was written in larger letters .
- Read and then come back to pick it up .
   The girl nodded and began to read as he left .

' Known as " Emissaries Scarlet " , the Bloody Heaven are a group of descendants of vampires and wizards , that use human sacrifices to get blood and invoke their ancestors . They guadam knowledge of all vampires and therefore considered dangerous to the noblest vampires . Bloody Heaven does not have a fixed residence and usually settle near cemeteries and isolated or dark woods.
  These crossbreds are recognized for wearing black hooded robes to hide their identity . There are friendly people , so having a dialogue with them is a difficult task . '
 
  She closed the book and handed it to Dominick as he appeared . The expression of discontent was clear and she realized he really did not want her to know that. However , the words ' You do not belong to this manor ' echoed in her head and the urge to remember all her life to motivated to take the risks necessary .
  But she could not go anywhere now , as this would complicate the relationship between her and Dominick . Moreover , she did not know very well the places that were nearby and need to do further research in order to find them .

† I. Awake †

  Everything was going as planned . The blood was ready and the moon was at its highest point in the sky . In a room lit only with the moonlight was a small bed with sheets burgundy .

- Where is it?

- Here . Know that I did not agree to be your employee .

- So do what you can do.

  Cameron snorted and waited for the man to leave the room to start doing what he had learned with Richad . He put a box that was all scratched and worn by time and spread your content inside of the cup with blood , he assumed the tone violet. After that , he let the liquid was illuminated by the moon and kept on the porch before leaving the room.

- Come in , I'm done . Do not let any get sample mirror and nothing that would reflect her face , but his brilliant plan goes awry .

  The man entered and encountered a completely empty and again in silver and a person back to him wearing white clothes lying on the ground glass . The girl turned at the sound of the door and looked completely stunned , not knowing who he was, where he was and who was the person who stood before her. The girl only knew one thing : she was a vampire . He nodded and she went into the woods .

- Katia bring new clothes for her and leave it on the bed .

  The maid nodded and brought new clothes for the girl in a matter of seconds.

- I can dress myself , go ahead.

  The girl was alone , looking for a mirror , but found none . However , she managed to dress perfectly. The smell of the clothes caused an upheaval in her mind , but the girl could not relate anything to that smell.

  When she was wearing the other boot , someone knocks on the door and enter. It was the same man who did not provide you with a good foundation of trust . The scarlet eyes met the gray and confused looking girl , snarling at him .

- Take it easy , I will not hurt you . I'm your father , Dominick Grey. Do not you remember me ?

  Dominick hugged her , but she showed the white fangs and sharp in a fierce growl and pushed sharply to get rid of. He forced a knowing smile and left the room looking for Cameron .

- You said it would be quiet and easy to handle but extremely the opposite happened ! She does not accept me and my smell gets aggressive .

- I did not say she would be a puppet without brain, Dominick . Some cases are special and even though she does not remember anything , her instincts to protect than pose a threat . Ironic , is not it?

- Shut up ! Is there any way around this?

- No. You 'll have to try to win her trust .

- I do not have time for that . I have a plan to continue .

  Cameron turned his back on Dominick , clearly unwilling to cooperate.

- I will not be anyone intermediary, Dominick . My job is done and I want my payment in three days , but that girl will become what you fear most .

  The girl closed the door when Dominick walked away. What was happening ? Why does not she remember anything ? I wonder if that green-eyed boy was referring to when she said ' that girl will become what you fear the most ?' What , in fact it was then ? If the man who claimed to be her father really was dangerous , who he was and what he wanted in fact to her? The profile of the people who live there, she could no response . If you had someone who might know something that would certainly be green eyed boy . She had to find him and know everything.

  Thinking of what to do , the girl went to the balcony and found Cameron sitting on the branch of a tree in the woods. She looked back and went out to meet him.

- What do you want ?

- I heard the conversation of you and wanted to know what is happening , and in a moment my soul was at peace and now I'm here without knowing anything . You know something ?

- I do not know anything. Leave me alone .

- You're lying , I know you . Then why did you say ' that girl will become what you fear most . ' and ' Some cases are special and even though she does not remember anything , her instincts to protect than pose a threat ' ?

- I do not know what you're talking about.

  She looked at him with an arched eyebrow and it make Cameron remembered the night he attacked by Rhayden and Blair forced him to tell the truth when he was Matthew Lloyd .

- Okay - he relented with a sigh - what I know is that you should not be here . His place is not.

- So what is my place?

- You will have to figure out alone . Two words : Bloody Heaven .

- Break -

† мσησcняσмє †

  England, Cambridge.

  Amid a storm , several figures were covered in black robes gathered in a cemetery at night . On any one grave , a person was tied with chains on the statue that was there . It was a red-haired girl with curly hair and green eyes shivered with cold and fear.

  The lightning cut the sky and every young Thunder did get even more terrified . People who were in the robes were silent until a strong wind and rough past them and take the hood of the members who started chanting in Latin.

  ' Dulcis , ex quo et rubrum sanguinem pulsar vitam , et ad potentiam crescere , gentle nostrae . Lamia hoc quod nascetur , habitabitis et in terra . '

  The young man sacrificed could not understand anything they were saying , which helped her to be more terrified than she already was. His attempts to get rid of the chains were useless , because everything was in place . Came a voice in her head and made her stop moving so he could understand what was being said in that song .

' It's sweet , and knock on from which red is the blood of life and to increase the capacity , our nation . this is a vampire who is born , and he shall dwell in the land . '

  The words had no effect on her, as the young man felt asleep by the voice and the song . Gradually she was giving up that closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep .

  A girl who was with the robe placed a silver cup to the girl's legs and then the blood began to drip into the container , which changed the color silver to bright red .

- We have what we need , let's go.

  Desacorrentaram the girl and left her lying on the grave without remembering anything that had passed that night . For them it was something natural and would not be considered something inhuman . What they would do was something extremely limited and risky.

  When they were in a particular stretch of road , feel the presence of someone approaching and remain static , with the senses established to detect the person who was there.

  Everything happened very fast . A shadow passed like lightning and took the cup from the hands of the girl without it having time to think and returned the path that led to a Victorian mansion hidden bronze color of the whole society . What is the purpose of the blood ? Nobody would know.

『XXI. Enough』

  Benjamin felt sick in place of Richard because of Cameron aid so and approached his brother to give you a brief comfort, for once being brothers , it sentiaque should support it . Even with a huge wound in the arm and in his soul , one day they were best friends .
- Get your hands off me! I do not need your sympathy !
- I know that, but still want to help you . It is still not too late to redeem yourself . We can divide the land .
- And you really think I 'm going to apologize and lose my post ? You are quite mistaken , my dear brother.
  The sound of a body hitting the floor and a shriek is heard simultaneously . Richard Benjamin smirks and soon realizes that his brother was not willing to give up that battle. He turns and sees Joseph in a sea of blood falling to the ground and Hannah trying to get a silver dagger daughter back . The vampire nobleman turned to help her daughter , who was a very deep wound where was the dagger . He took off his jacket and handed it to Hannah , so that she could isolate the wound Blair .
- You think you'll get something out of it?
- I'm sure you do. That was the same dagger that Cameron used to kill you , and so one of you must die .
  Benjamin growled , but did nothing . It was only toward the daughter and hugged her , however , Blair pulled back and managed to stabilize again, however , the court still hurt and it took her breath away . Richard was not concerned with the development of everything , because sooner or later one of them would turn into ashes for eternity and this would diminish his work .
- I admire your persistence, girl, but this will not last long .
- I agree.
  Blair took the dagger that was on the floor and felt the metal burn the palm of your hand , which made her drop the object immediately. She assessed the severity of the wound and saw that his hand was completely burned . Richard laughed .
- Idiot . You do not know that vampires can not touch silver objects without protection ?
- This will not stop me from closing this his mouth.
  Richard pulled a dagger from his belt and turned the object in hand, reveling in the impotence of niece, who could do nothing but attack him with blows infant . He hit her left shoulder , causing him more pain and tipped with a simple sweep .
- This is the end .
  Blair felt his father was giving him more power and with much effort , she could see a faint light at the left chest of Richard . She reached for the dagger , but the vampire kicked it away and continued to hurt her with silver . Benjamin Duke and watched it all in silence , knowing that it was the duty of the girl , however , Hannah could not believe the coolness of both vampires . First , Joseph was dead and now Blair is a close call . What were they thinking? She did not know but would not stand there doing absolutely nothing .

  Richard was fully convinced of his victory . Blair was prone, with virtually no drop of blood in the body and without the strength to even stand.
- Goodbye , my dear niece.
  The Vampire dagger flew to the other side of the hedge .
- Damn !
  Hannah has been providing assistance to Blair while his brother Benjamin had disarmed .
- The code of ethics says that parents can not interfirir in the battles of his heirs .
- I do not care about the code , it is my daughter we're talking about and I will not let you kill her .

- Mother ! Mother !
  Scarlet had hit an arrow silver at heart Hannah , knocking her down immediately. Blair cried wildly embraced his mother , which made glad Richard Benjamin and inflamed with anger. It was toward the daughter and wife and bolstered both bodies . The girl sobbed in his father's shoulder in order to break his heart . Duke carried the body of Hannah away from the fight and left side of the body to Joseph .
- That is so pathetic .
  Blair wiped the tears and looked at her father with the utmost determination. Benjamin released her and stepped closer to Hannah and Duke .
- So you say you still want to catch ?
  Richard took a new dagger from his belt and both resumed their battle. Blair continued to be sore in attempts to catch some of the silver objects that were on the floor .
  When she finally got a little more quickly , Blair reached the dagger lying on the ground . Silver again burned her skin , but she was not letting go this time . The determination to avenge his mother and Joseph was great and remember that Benjamin had been wounded because it meant that the remains were hidden force that it appeared gradually .
- I've had enough of this joke .
  Uncle and niece fought each other , leaving Benjamin Duke and apprehensive . The girl's father thought of interfirir again, however , the Duke remembered if he disrespect the code again, both she and he would be severely punished .

  The sound of daggers falling on the ground caught the attention of vampires where Blair was lying with a cut between the shoulder blades and Richard with a deep hole in the left chest .
- Blair !
  Benjamin bolstered the daughter, but realized that there would be no more solutions . The dagger Richard had an extremely catastrophic damage and nothing could be done .
- Father .. I got ...
- I'm proud of you , always knew you would .
  He kissed her forehead and hugged her daughter stronger before I heard the girl sigh and closed his eyes never to open them. Even feeling a great emptiness within you , Benjamin was not allowed to cry , however , he had no authority over the tears this time . The vampire looked at her daughter's face and saw that she was smiling .
- Do you think ... That could all ... Back?
- No, Richard , on the contrary , I lost everything that was important to me .
- The Supreme ... Will destroy this kingdom.
- How ? Our father was always loyal to him and us too.
- After he knew ... You're alive ... He is determined to finish you ... And with his heirs ... To take control ...
  Benjamin could not find the end of it all , since Richard turned into ashes . Duke was wrong with the fact that Blair be intact in the arms of Benjamin , but soon saw that she was also disappearing and in less seconds , Benjamin was only ashes in his hands . He picked up the remains of her daughter and placed in a box made ​​of ivory cream and buried in a meadow a little distant from the mansion .
- What will you do now ?
- Finish what Richard began .

『XX. Cold Blooded』

The tension was evident in Blair and the other companions , who were bound by silver chains . Richard tried to hide the smile of satisfaction on his face , he seemed more impossible. The vampire was fully satisfied and had the victory ahead of time.
- Let's get on with it .
  Cameron filed totally apathetic and bored expression, but Richard 's smile has not changed . Blair gulped because finally realized what kind of show her uncle was preparing . She pulled away to try to divert but Cameron was extremely ruthless with it . Each attack was done with extreme coldness and cruelty, since they were cousins ​​and indirectly shared the same blood .
- Are you afraid? Where is your courage now?
  Blair was about to be asphyxiated . Cameron grabbed by the throat and squeezed slowly , for she felt despair and pain so that the satisfazesse .

  Scarlet went to the room of Benjamin .
- What do you want ?
- Richard sent me to take you to another place . Is an interesting event happening and he insists that you attend .
- There is nothing that I deem interesting in routine Richard . Can get out of here .
- I'm sorry but I will not leave.
  Benjamin sighed deeply and got out of bed to follow the girl . He did not know all of Richard 's mansion , so had no idea where they were going.
  As we climbed, Benjamin heard laughter and painful growls and the smell of blood came to his nostrils . Scarlet stopped in his tracks when he saw past her shot on the right track and resumed his former duties .

  The girl landed a kick to the chest and Cameron fell the floor kneeling , breathlessly . He staggered away , but composed himself quickly and with green eyes flashing with anger and resentment .
- You will pay for it , girl .
  Blair stood up , reeling from lack of oxygen . His vision was blurred and his weak legs , but Cameron felt no pity on her . Richard was amused by the scene as Hannah tried to get loose from the chains .
- Damn ! Richard , now even stop it!
- Are you kidding ? Never had so much fun in my life .
  Cameron was blinded by rage and attacked the press without thinking what I was doing . Blair could see his weakness , but had no silver to attack him . The powers of Benjamin were disappearing because of the blood she lost .
  On the last throw, a shadow appears and Cameron has the right side of her bruised face . Richard was furious and walked beside her son .
- What does that mean ?
- This is my question . You will not use my daughter for your entertainment .
- Always killjoy , not Benjamin ? Well , I do not care anymore, all have realized that Cameron is better able to take control of it . Blair is weak .
- The force is often unnecessary , brother.
  Richard laughed as much as the statement by the memory that filled his memory .
- Said the man who lost his throne . Accept , Benjamin , kindness prompted you to the bottom .
- I will not argue with you.
- Excellent .
- Father !
  Richard jumped on  Benjamin and they both landed on the white floor feverishly , such that no one could separate them . Blair pulled back and released Duke , Hannah and Joseph before Cameron could stop her . The girl's mother was horrified at the puddle of blood that grew every blow them . Duke and Cameron managed to separate them . Richard was with some scratches and the lower lip cut , however , was Benjamin 's clothes drenched in blood , so that no one could discriminate if it was his own or the enemy and was silver with a knife buried in his left arm . Blair could not believe what I was seeing and growled , advancing on Richard , however , Cameron prevented .
- I've had enough .
- Cameron ! Get back here!
- You do not see how this is ridiculous People of the same blood by killing a throne ! Would not it be easier for everyone to have their own empire ?
- Cameron Paker , do not tell me you're against me .
- I'm not in favor of anyone or against anyone , just got tired of being his pawn . If you want to continue with this stupid act , do it without me .
  Richard was even angrier than he already was , but allowed his son disappeared from coverage. All were stunned by the decision of Cameron , but did not declare anything, after all, that pain could be greater than your own son abandon you ?

『XIX. Relatives』

- I'm glad you recognized me , but where are your manners ? You should call me uncle.
- You are nothing to me .
  Richard paused and looked intently into the eyes of Blair , looking away a few minutes later .
- Those eyes ... The resemblance between you is nauseating . It seems to me looking for my brother .
- I think I know where Cameron inherited manners .
  Richard opened a smug smile and grabbed the girl by the chin , looking at her steadily in the eyes so that Blair did recoil in fear.
- Exactly . You should be afraid of me .
- As if I could . I'm not afraid of someone weak and coward like you .
  He gritted his teeth and growled , showing his long, sharp canines . Blair tried to look for a weak spot , but could not find . After Benjamin , Richard was another exception to the power she had to see the weakness of the enemy . Surely she was at a disadvantage , but could not show fear to a person like that .
- You sound just like him ... It makes me sick !
  Blair deflected a slap that Richard would give herself without realizing its agility . He watched and felt the anger boiling inside him . He never saw much resemblance , either in appearance , personality , and physical performance . That made him even angrier because Benjamin had always been faster than he and the girl had inherited that ability very well . However , it was not only for him but also for another person that he should get over it .
- I admire your skills , but I am sorry that you can not enjoy them for long.
- I would not be so confident .
  He gave a half smirk .
- You think that just because a daughter of Benjamin Sky can do everything ... After still say I'm the smug ... You are a threat and I should eliminate all types of threats or obstacles that stand in my way .
  Blair did not answer , just let the soul and blood of Benjamin controlassem their actions . Richard had some difficulties, but managed to hold the girl by the throat and throw it against the floor .
- It seems that you are not as powerful as you think , dear niece . His father could be faster , but I 've always been and always will be the strongest . Cameron is proof of that .
- If you believe ...
  Richard raised an eyebrow .
- Are you doubting ? Great, then we measure forces ! I know someone who will love this.

  Duke got again the trail of Blair , however , had to face some problems somewhat complicated . Cameron had found them and did not hesitate to attack them . Even the three were no match for the heir of Richard , who felt extremely familiar smell when approached Hannah .
- This smell ... How did that room ? Answer !
  The phone rang and the boy Cameron suddenly dropped his guard.
- It is not worth it . My father wants to see you.
- Really? - Duke was not very confident that conversation .
- Yes Just go up the stairs to the roof .
  The boy and the three disappeared without options , follow the instructions .
  When they finally arrived , they encountered and Richard Blair , who left to look for the girl to watch on visitors .
- What a great surprise! You have not changed , is not Duke ? Always wagging his tail behind Benjamin and now obeys his daughter ? How pathetic .
- You do not know what is friendship , Richard , so you do not know what you're saying .
  Richard desvioou look for Hannah and Joseph .
- And you ? For quite some time, Hannah , and I see that you've moved on . What Benjamin would say now?
- That's none of your business , this filthy shut your mouth !
- Always gentle , is not it? Well , take your seats , we have a show to present .

『XVIII. Black Heart』

  Duke and the hunters were waiting for Blair at the back door of the mansion . Seeing her mother, she tried to act normal , but he was a despicable being to hide it from her. Joseph and Duke were in front , while Hannah and Blair followed them . When we arrived in a corridor with multiple paths , they separated and mother and daughter walked carefully through the darkness . Realizing that her daughter was different, Hannah came over and whispered :

- Are you okay ?

- I am , do not worry , Mom.

- If you want to talk , I'm here .

  Blair evaluated whether or not tell . Even hearing the voice of her father always repeating the same phrase , she did not think it was fair to hide something so important to everyone. She knew the temperament of the mother , however, Hannah suffered for it.

- Mom, you could keep a secret ?

  Hannah nodded smiling .

- You know that window that was open when we entered the garden of the mansion ?

- What happened ?

- Well .. I promised not to tell , but not fair to you .

- Blair , say it !

  Blair looked at the floor . Do not know if I was doing the right thing , however they were a family and a family has no secrets .

- Dad is alive .

  Hannah froze , looking at his daughter as if she were speaking another language that anyone could understand .

- You sure about that ? I saw his father die! Cameron saw the dagger dirty with his blood ! Blair , you must be mistaken .

  Blair did not answer , just sniffed the air and grabbed the mother by the wrist , guiding it to the last door on the right side of the long , dark hallway . The girl touched the knob and realized the door was unlocked . Hannah pushed her inside and then quickly entered , closing the door with a quiet click behind her.

- Blair , what you think you're doing ? We have no time for jokes !

- Hannah ?

  The hunter looked in the direction where the voice came , and saw the moonlight illuminating the silhouette of Benjamin . She rubbed her eyes and looked at Blair , who smiled and nodded . Benjamin was also smiling and approached the hunter , giving her a tender embrace .

- You should have kept secret , young lady .

- Sorry .

- It's okay, you did what was right .

  He opened an arm and Blair cuddled him , next to his mother , who still could not believe what was happening . Benjamin felt complete for the first time , but knew it could not last long. Cameron or someone would come and he did not want the two most important people in his life ran out injured. He kissed her daughter 's forehead and touched the lips of Hannah .

- You have to go now . Cameron must be on guard and do not hesitate to come here .

  They nodded and went out the door , exactly where Cameron was . Luckily , they were near the exit to another hallway and passed unnoticed . Blair told what he knew to his mother as they walked and soon found Duke and Joseph in front of a door made ​​of white cedar waiting for them .

  A curtain of red velvet was on one wall and a hand pulls Blair in his direction . Realizing that Blair was gone , they began to scour the mansion again, but finding no clues to the whereabouts of the girl. Duke began sniffing , but could not find it .

   Blair fell face down on a white and polished . The wind howled and bounced in her hair and then she realized she was not in any room . Was on top of the mansion , where it was probably some sort of coverage.

  A laugh echoed and prickled the hairs on the nape of Blair , who soon saw a man with dark brown hair and green eyes looking at her. He was wearing a shirt, pants and black dress shoes . This dress made ​​her remember Cameron and was not afraid to pronounce his name .

- Richard .

『XVII. Broken Hearted』

  Blair climbed up to the window and peered through the curtain , that swayed in the gentle breeze came by . The girl did not see anyone and leaped silently on the balcony of the room . With careful steps , she entered the room and her eyes quickly grew accustomed to the darkness .
  The person who was in the room saw the figure of a girl walking silently and stood the staggeringly bed. Noticing movement, Blair braced for an attack , however , their defenses were floored when they felt the arms of strange around her. The girl smelled blood and took that holding her to make sure she was not mistaken .
  In fact was not . Teary blue eyes and pained countenance caused Blair shed countless tears , which were dried by him one by one : . Benjamin Sky .
- Father ..
- Shh ... It's okay . I 'm here, I 'll always be with you .
- How do you ... ? Mom and Duke said that Cameron killed you .
- Yes , he did, but Richard woke me to cause me pain , he knew how hurt I would be knowing that you and your mother would be alone . I tried to go to you , but I'm stuck. If I try to walk out the door or the window 'm hurt by silver objects .
  Blair touched the wounds of her father, almost feeling his pain . Benjamin smiled and kissed the top of her daughter's head , hugging her tightly .
- Do not want you to tell anyone , okay ? If Hannah or Duke know about it , nothing will go as planned .
  She nodded , feeling bad . How could she hide it from her mother , who suffers still thinking he was dead ?
  Before she could leave, Benjamin down the collar of his dress shirt and cream color made ​​canines daughter stay in the spot where the carotid him .
- It would be a waste to let my dormant powers , so I want to transfer them to you .
- Father , I ...
- You will need them to overthrow Richard . Just do it.
  Blair gulped . She did not expect to take the blood of his own father , especially at a time like this . But there was no other option and Benjamin really wanted his powers had a new owner . The girl pierced the carotid father and let his blood ooze sweetly down your throat . He pressed his face to the daughter and let her saciasse headquarters .
- My little girl ... I 'm proud of you , always be around , do not forget . Now we are one soul , always remember that.
  Footsteps echoed in the hallway , causing Blair was out the window shot . Benjamin got the shirt collar and smelled Cameron .
- What are you hiding ?
- I'm not hiding anything , if you want to inspect the room go ahead .
  Cameron gave a low growl and searched the room only with eyes and sense of smell . Besides the smell of Benjamin had a new scent in the air, he certainly had felt , but could not remember where. He squinted at his uncle and left. Benjamin heard footsteps daughter on garden grass and risked having another injury to see her depart . The vampire felt bad about yourself , but knew there was no other choice . Now she could care for and restore everything destroyed Richard .

『XVI. Two lives, One soul』

  Hannah and Joseph finally found Blair in Duke 's mansion. Seeing as I was a girl, both hunters were flabbergasted . Relamente would not return to that transformation , but everyone knew that it was for the greater good . Hannah was moved because that way Blair and Benjamin remembered was painful to remember the way he was killed .
- Unfortunately we have no choice ... - Joseph was talking to Duke about the reinforcements into battle - Hunters will never join us .
- I see ... The other vampires also will not cooperate with us .
- And all the army comes down to four of us ... We will not be able to do much.
- Blair has talent and has skills that no one else has and it complements the rest of the army .
  Hannah and Blair agreed , since they had nothing to lose. Sooner or later everything would start , so they should make the first move . The girl felt that the soul of Benjamin would be with her to give her strength and that was enough . She would do it for him and no one else .

  They waited until the next morning , where they began to gather weapons and all that was needed for battle . Blair was worried for not mastering his powers , but Duke assured him that she would know what to do at the right time . While he had time to rest , she thought of how everything happened like an avalanche in her life . All truth relentlessly poured out so she could process it all. Every feeling appeared and tore slowly , with no any chance to heal the wounds .

  At dusk , the quartet left the fort to give the beginning of the war . Richard lived in the same castle where Benjamin lived , however , built a mansion in the place of vast gray fortress. The group arrived in England after a few hours , but did not stop to rest even one second . Even outnumbered, they were determined and would not stop.

 The mansion of Richard was not so well guarded , so they managed to enter with ease . Crossed the immense garden of red roses until they found a window that was open . As they prepared to climb , some vigilantes appear and they decide to split . The hunters were in charge of the guards and Duke went to the back of the mansion , hoping to open the door for them . Blair saw nothing she could do and engaged in climbing to the open window of the first floor .

『XV. Dark Mind』

  Cameron had work to do . Now with the Blair 's awakening, the plans would change drastically . Scarlet accompanied him , without worrying about anything that was going on , since none of it was her problem. They were walking by one of the deserted streets when a silver needle passes close to the face of Cameron .

- We are not useless with that girl, Lockwood , do not worry .

- Where is she ?

- As if you did not know .

  Joseph pointed the gun at him , but the vampire just smiled in return. Hannah was about to lose his temper , however, her mind begins to scour the possible places where she might be . According to Benjamin told him , Blair should change that night and the only place where she could go would be to a place where she could get some help .

- Joseph , she is Duke .

- How did you come to that conclusion ?

- I do not know ... It automatic.

  The vampires were gone and the hunters had a long walk to get to the house of Duke .

- You two should have taken some action ! I trusted you to do this work , Cameron !

- I'm sorry if your Majesty does not do this with their own hands . I did most of the work in the past and you just sat on the throne .

- Watch what you say , I am your father , remember?

- I'm not interested so you know . However , you said we should not do anything at the moment .

- I know, but if she turned you should have given it a weekend !

  Richard Parker was fully unsatisfied. Scarlet trembled before the cold, hard look green eyes of the ruling cast on them . However , Cameron did not seem to mind the fury of his father , once even called him father or demonstava respect for him .

- And now ? She has more than enough power to overthrow you .

- What are you talking about? Do you really think the pathetic powers of Benjamin can help her ? There's one thing she does not know and we can use that to our advantage .

  Cameron looked at him approvingly , as if he understood what he was getting . Soon , the boy realized that nothing that Blair would be acquired to fight match for their secret weapon . She would surrender and all would soon.

  While one hand was celebrating an early victory and the other tried to create an army , there was another side that was hidden in the shadows and tried to stand up , a side where they were stored all the memories of the past , where all the dreams that could not happen and , especially , a side that would be hurt and that could never be healed .

『XIV. The stars will remain』

Hannah received the Benjamin´s message in the middle of the night and decided to take a look at Blair . So that did not find the room, she began to search every room in the house frantically . When he finally found her daughter gone , Hannah wore their old clothes hunter and prepared to search for the girl .
  Joseph woke up with the movement of the hunter and needed only one look to understand what was happening and prepare for the search , vestindoo their old clothes ccaçador .

- What do I do now , Duke ?
  Blair was upset and walked from one side to the other in the library , not knowing what to think about what was coming. She did not know what was the story behind any of it and did not know the reasons for the rivalry between the Sky and the Parker clan clan. Duke tried to think of more aliaos for the battle that was about to happen , but did not know anyone else .
- I'm doing what I can to help you, but I'm unsure what to do.
- Do you know why this all started ?
- What I know is that his father and Richard Parker , Cameron 's father , were brothers .
  Blair 's eyes widened , completely shocked . What would have happened in the past to cause all this tussle ?
- They were sons of different mothers , but they shared the same blood of a father. His name was Louis Reed . Benjamin was the oldest son and Richard was the youngest son. Even getting more attention than qulaquer one, Richard was greedy and did not want to wait to have their turn to govern. He married a human transformed and this union was born Cameron .
' When his father took over and married Hannah , Richard and Cameron began to plot against Benjamin . They waited until you were born and when they saw the attachment and all the love that his father demonstrated , there remained more questions about what to do . '
- My mother told me about the invasions and how my father died .
- It was Cameron who hit his father as he held you in his arms. Richard was hiding , waiting for everything to happen and soon took the place of Benjamin . All those who followed his father are now completely submissive to Richard and dare not pronounce anything about Benjamin or her mother . The main issue is you.
- I know ... But what I got out of it ?
  Duke looked at her angrily . After all he said she still was not able to understand what she was doing in the middle of this story ?
- You are the sole heir of it and therefore the person who has the right to take the place of Richard . And he wants to get rid of you .
- And my dad wants me to take his place ?
- Yeah That's what he did you turn into a full vampire and absorb his powers . Blair , you have the power that nobody else has and that is a huge point in its favor .
 Blair ducked his head .
- I know that, but it's not enough .
- You're not alone . I'll help you .
  She looked at Duke with hope and doubt .
- Why?
- Benjamin was like a brother to me and I promised him I would take care of you in his place . In addition, Richard time is not now.

『XIII. Nightmare』

  Blair was taken by exhaustion after subjecting the powers Duke , though she has not stopped thinking about her father . Benjamin began to haunt her mind since the day she learned of her existence. While lying in bed still in the clothes he wore out , Blair realized that everyone in the house had slept and then decided to go to the bathroom to get ready for bed .

  When looking into the mirror , she puts her hands to her mouth to stifle a scream . The image of

Benjamin appeared in place of her reflection with a sad face for a few seconds . Once you could see your image again , faced with a girl color and grayish blue eyes paler than it already was . She looked at her hands and saw sharp claws and white , sharp and gleaming tusks protruding from the mouth.

' My dear, do not be scared , I 'll still be here . '

  Blair felt upset , but was not established . Maybe it was because it was half human , but it was still something terrifying . She could not let her mother see her thus could not let anyone see her like that . Therefore, decided to go to Duke , that could explain what happened , once she felt his presence in her head . Jumped the balcony of her room and ran to the house the night of the vampire, however , felt he was being followed. Anyway , it did not matter . She needed to find Duke quickly.

  Duke was in the library reading some books when he hears a knock on the door and see a girl enter. By the smell , he knew it was Blair , and seeing as she was, your questions disappeared .

- How do I get it?

- You can not get rid of. It is the will of Benjamin .

- Why? I agreed to be Half Blood , however I do not want to become one of you ... Wanted to continue with what I was a Blood Mode with a normal life !

- Blair , you know that whatever you are living is nothing but a big lie . Sooner or later it would happen, you are the sole heir of Benjamin .

- And what does that mean ? What is my role?

- You have no utility now . - Cameron appeared behind her - Enjoy your minutes as one of us , because it will no longer be extended .

  Duke grabbed Blair by the arm and both jumped out the window , running to a safe place so it could be clarified . However , Cameron and Scarlet were equally fast and were determined not to let the girl escape alive.

- You will not escape .

- Cameron , do you think that because it is one you can do what you want? He 's using you .

- Matthew ?

  Cameron gave a smug smile at Blair .

- Matthew Lloyd never really existed . My name is Cameron Parker , his worst nightmare .

   The girl shivered and flinched . Realizing the movement , the Duke pulled her to stay standing .

- It 's who you should fear . Hold on !

- But ...

- Duke 's right , girl. You are the daughter of one of the noblest and most powerful vampires in our entire history .

  Cameron laughed with the declaration of Scarlet .

- Yet he faltered because of ... He got what he deserved , but I confess I had a lot working with him .

  Blair growled and advanced on Cameron , causing both to roll and attack the floor . Scarlet was intefirir but had his face scratched by the newly converted . Duke parted , knowing the problems it could bring. The boy stood up and touched his left eyebrow , which was a cut .

- Like father like daughter ... It seems that you will also give me a job , is not it? What fun , but pathetic. You just uses his strength when we provoke the memory of his father , I can really wipe you out faster , however, is not yet time for that.

  Scarlet and Cameron disappeared . Duke analyzing the case carefully and realized that the enemy was right . If she does not let Benjamin finish what she had started , she could be killed very easily and be moved to the instinct of revenge will make things worse . He wished his friend was sure what I was doing , because a small mistake put everything away . Blair was outnumbered and was alone to face the Parker clan, which was extremely numerous. What could be done to reverse the situation ? The other hunters would not agree to join and also the other vampires are controlled by the influence of Parker , even those who were once loyal to Benjamin , now despised him. The solutions were out of reach .

『XII. What Can We Do?』

- Do you think it will accomplish anything?
- Sure . If she cares about her daughter , will certainly take steps to make her be free of all this . Therefore , she will try to break that barrier and we have access to her mind again .
- You took too long to begin to strategize , do not you think ?
- Shut up , I did not ask your opinion .
- And yet , I gotta be near you .
- You are the most disgusting parasite I've ever seen .
  Scarlet stuck her tongue out at him and sat on the picnic table in the park with her legs crossed . It was night and they were waiting for something exciting to do. However , they found nothing .
- Do not be so rude, Cameron Parker . If it were not for me you would not have the prestigious post he has.
  He smiled .
- For a long time I have not heard my real name .
- I know , I know ... Since you became one thought you had assimilated human life again.
- This is exactly why I could not adapt myself again. He will pay me when this is over . I agree to have someone like you in this mission , though I should be waiting for results .
- But you can not complain since you're here . So , Mr. Parker , what do we do ?
- We have to wait to find out . We will evaluate how it behaves . If it comes back to normal, then we can pounce . Otherwise , we will have to wait a little longer .
  Both were silent and looked to the east , towards the house of Lockwood and saw a shadow around the corner nimbly , but still a little awkward . They looked at each other and decided to follow the shadow that seemed familiar.

『XI. Outset』

  Hannah and Blair went out the way in silence . The girl looked at the scenery out the car window without paying attention , but soon awakens when he begins to see a class neighborhood , but still maintained the Victorian times . The street was deserted , but some people were watching what was happening from the window of their homes .

- Mom, where are we?

- This is the old Victorian neighborhood , Red Britain . The friend of his father, Duke Whistler , the lives around here .

- And he is ...

- Absolutely.

  The old hunter stopped in front of the most luxurious house on the block , where a young butler opened the door and greeted the guests happily and led to the living room . Blair did not seem comfortable with the situation , but Hannah was too familiar with the circumstances . Perhaps it was the years she spent living with Benjamin , the girl thought as she accepted a biscuit .

- Hannah Lockwood ! Long time , no?

- Hello , Duke ! This is Blair.

  Duke approached Blair to take a closer look . It was different than she expected . If not for the gray hair , no one would ever say he was older . because his features were still a young adult and his posture was perfectly erect , like a Victorian noble should be. The green eyes were bright and experienced people to indicate what he really was. Duke walked in circles around her , examining every square inch to a stop in front of Blair . He walked over and gently sniffed her face .

- I recognize the smell and blue tone those eyes anywhere, truly is the tiny Half Blood Benjamin ... You did a good job , Hannah , I'm surprised . But still do not understand why you have come here , I'm sure it is not just a casual visit.

  Hannah named Duke chats and told him all that had passed by Matthew and Scarlet . The vampire understand the circumstances and Hannah Blair and led to a room which was upstairs . The girl lay down reluctantly and let Duke use his powers to make her fall asleep.

  With that he entered her mind and found a barrier that had been placed for the soul of Benjamin . Anyone who did not know him intimately , certainly could not pass that way , however , as they were close friends , it would not be a problem. He moved to the depths of the subconscious Blair and found the soul of the deceased vampire Benjamin Sky .

- Duke ?

- Benjamin ? It's good to see you again .

- Ditto . What you want in the mind of my daughter ?

- Hannah was concerned with the testimony of two newcomers , Matthew Lloyd and Scarlet Knight , who tried to get into her mind.

  Benjamin snorted , unhappy .

- Those two have no reason to be near my daughter, let alone get into her mind. They are enemies and traitors . When the host , they gave the blow and knocked me down not too little . I'm still grateful to you for that day .

- That's what friends do , do not worry . But ... What are your intentions , anyway?

- I want to protect her from them . You know she is my sole heir and therefore a threat to the Supreme . I decided to take care of her until the day arrives.

  Duke thought for a moment .

- Is not that cruel? She is happy as is and throw it in this war is something cold on his part , considering the love and protective instinct you have for her.

- I'll still be with her and my power will absorivdo through her when the time is right . A part of him she already assimilated . Now , I have left is to wait .

- I still see the care and affection you have for her , will not discuss his plans, but have someone who would like a response .

- You can connect it to me ?

- Unfortunately not .

- Then tell her I 'll be in touch with her tonight .

  Duke nodded and prepared to return .

- What happened ? What did he say ?

- He said he will contact you tonight and will explain everything . I think he knows what he's doing and I support that . His motives are unquestionable .

  Hannah agreed with a nod and Blair still thrashed from side to side, struggling to wake up and undo the power of Duke on her. When I finally woke up , did not ask anything or say a word until they return home. Hannah was not surprised silence daughter , but was worried about what it would be at the mercy of plans Benjamin . He had always been a quiet man who knew what to do , but what if it all goes wrong ? And if the only heir of Sky Clan had also a painful doom ?

『X. Duke Whistler』

  Hannah had just tidy up the house after arriving from work and when it comes to the living room , see Matthew Scarlet and waiting for her.
- Get away from my house ! I have nothing to deal with you .
- Yes , you have. His daughter is our key player and is talking about it we came .
  The hunter waited for them to press ahead without much patience . Vampires were arguing about which infomações say until they came to an agreement .
- Blair could not attend any classes today.
- How so ? She was fine when she woke .
- No, she was not . After she learned of Benjamin Sky her behavior changed when Blair is away from you .
- It was your fault! I did not ask you despejaar the truth about her once .
- But I advised . - Scarlet interfiriu .
  Hannah was seething with fury at being obliged to discuss this matter with vampires and two enemies who still had interest in her daughter. However , she was also guilty for not telling the truth from the beginning , when Blair questioned the fact that she and her adoptive father are not equal. What Matthew did was right after all and she could not blame him for doing what it was for her as a mother.
- And as the existence of Benjamin could have affected her ?
- He is awake inside her and we can not learn what is happening . Benjamin created a special protection against us .
- But how ? He could only do this if ...
  The vampires nodded harshly and Hannah soon understood why everything is happening . But she could not rush and thought of a person who could know what was going on with Blair , but also knew Benjamin deeply.

  Blair came home trying to hide the sadness I felt and practiced in order to do his voice back to normal , so it does not look like she had been crying almost every morning . Before crossing the front door , she saw the door handle move, as seen Matthew Lloyd and Scarlet Knight leaving home . As they had arrived before her? Well , it did not matter much, however , knew it would not be a good thing .
  Hannah was waiting for her in the living room , but showed no sign that he knew about what had happened that morning .
- Mother ? Why are you dressed like that?
- Let's get out .
- Go out ? Where ?
- Let's visit an old friend of your father.

『IX. Changes』

  Blair woke up with her ​​face wet with tears and with Hannah 's voice calling her hastily. The girl tried to wipe his face , hoping that her mother did not realize she had been crying.

- Blair , you'll be late .

  She assentiui and quickly rose to shower and dress . Went to school without eating breakfast , because every time you remembered the warm lap and velvety and soaring voice of her father , her heart was wounded . As would have been happy if he were still alive and along with Hannah and she ... However, it could not ignore the hunter who took care of her all this time , without worrying for her daughter to be a vampire .

' I will be with you whenever you need. '

  Benjamin 's face with teary eyes filled the mind of Blair and the tears fell without stopping . Matthew looked in her direction as he heard the teacher releasing it to the infirmary .

- Someone could make company for Miss Lockwood to improve it ?

  He got up and found Blair sitting on the floor near the lockers. He touched her shoulder, but his vision was blinded by a flash and he could see the image of Benjamin who was in the girl's mind . The bell rang and Scarlet was walking down the stairs when he received a call from Matthew and looked around for him .

  She met with Blair , who still wept without paying attention to anything that was happening around him . Scarlet looked at the Half Blood and touched her arm , causing the image of the father of the girl appeared again. The vampire looked at Matthew and shook his head .

- Benjamin awakened within her, now we can only wait.

- It will make it go away from us, we're finished .

- You are right .

  Scarlet disappeared and left Matthew with Blair . Benjamin protected her daughter even after death and this prevented them from moving forward vampires . Now that Half Blood would be a problem and a threat , however , eliminate it was totally out of the question. Without any other alternative , they decided to talk directly with the huntress Hannah Lockwood . The vampires left school out of hours and went to the abode of Blair .

『VIII. Dream of a Vision』

  With the end of classes , Scarlet went to the guild to hit the end of its integration into the Dark Blood Academy . Blair was alone in the room finishing tidying the papers when he realizes the presence of the girl. Soon after all predict , the chairman deteu the new student for a chat .

- Scarlet , can I ask you a question ?

- Yes , but I can not guarantee that I can answer it .

- You and Matthew Lloyd has some kinship ?

  Scarlet gave a slight laugh , but caught himself .

- No, we have nothing in common . Why do you ask ?

- I know you guys are vampires and wanted to know why .

- So you can see our souls ... In fact the daughter of Benjamin Sky .

- How do you know ?

- We all know the only Half Blood that has great power .

  Blair looked at Scarlet Knight atonitamente without knowing what to think .

- Why is it with this guy? This is normal , because you study with vampires .

- What? How so ?

- Do not tell me you've never found a school have a weird name like that ?

- Yes , but ...

- The school has that name because it was originally built for vampires . However , with the union of humans with vampires , the school was also open to human and half human .

- But no one could have imagined that we would have a Half Blood studying here .

  Matthew entered the room and also began to discuss the issue , which lasted no more than a few minutes .

  She came home and threw it on the bed the way it was and fell asleep in seconds , because I was tired .

  Blair was in a dark and cold place . The wind howled in the ears of the girl and bounced her hair so that she could not warm up just rubbing her arms . A faint light came from under a door and she decided to follow him . The door opened with a creak down and she was in a hallway lit with candles for a luxurious place.

  A shadow passed by and Blair felt a magnetic pull drawing her and encouraging her to follow the shade. She walked quietly until he heard the cry of a baby in the room that was nearby. The girl dared peek and saw that the bedroom door was open and a man was on his back . He was tall and wore a white suit and was singing a lullaby that did not only affect the baby, but Blair also began to feel tired and sleepy by the sweetness of the singing voice . Took the plunge and come out of hiding and was when Hannah saw the man's side and saw the baby's face .

  She was swallowed by the darkness and fell into a completely dark place and the extremeley clean and polished floor, which allowed her to see her own reflection . Even before she could get up , Blair feels arms around her and realizes that his face is leaning on someone's shoulder .

  The girl lifts her head slowly and looks into the eyes of the person . Immediately , she feels an electric current passing through his body when he looks directly into the eyes of Benjamin Blue Sky .

- Father ..

- His mother and that Hunter did a good job ... You are radiant , my love . At least I have some joy , but let her fatherless is unforgivable .

- This was not your fault , Mom told me everything, I can understand.

  Benjamin 's eyes filled with tears , but he was not allowed to cry in front of her daughter. He tightened his arms around the girl , who left the tears umidecerem his face . She knew he was dead, but it all seemed so real tears was a difficult task .

  Benjamin wiped the tears of her daughter and kissed her forehead before disappearing . Even for a ghost , his heart ached at being forced to leave the most precious person in the world alone again . But he could not return , and nothing could change the past . What remained to him now was to protect her world and herself . Above all , he should protect her from the truth .

『VII. New Student』

  The next day was normal , despite everything she learned in just one night , no one noticed any change in attitudes Blair . However , Matthew noticed a fraction of sadness in her voice when she saw her in the hallways , but did not attempt to say anything to try to cheer her up . Amberlyn watched the reaction of representative classes and shot the boy with a glare because he had disobeyed one of the rules that have been imposed .

  Blair was busy in student government getting the support Annelise when a girl comes in and distracts the attention of others.

- How can I help ?

- The director told me to talk to the representative Blair Lockwood .

- I am . It's a pleasure to help , how can I be helpful ?

- I just transfer me here and told me that you take care of the integration of newcomers .

- Okay . You can sit here, please ?

  The girl sat down and had their transfer and their documents . Blair looked at every thing in detail and looked Annelise , who took various roles in a drawer .

- Okay ... Scarlet , is not it?

- Yes

- Here are their schedules and everything you will need for classes today . We will have the first two classes in the same room , then I can show you a little of the school. These are the keys to her hall closet and dressing room , you can find them easily .

- Thank you.

- Oh, please , end of the school come back here to finish setting the rest of their integration .

  Scarlet nodded and walked into the hallway , where Matthew found himself leaning against a wall , completely absorbed in his ideas . However, it aroused so smelled the perfume novice . He remembered that smell and was in her direction .

- Hello , Matthew .

- What are you doing here ?

- This school has no restrictions , so I can be where I want. Furthermore , I came here for you .

- So this is how ... You do your work and appear out of nowhere when you want?

- I made a promise , did not I? For I am fulfilling it . And that girl needs to be closely watched , as a part of it can uncover the truth .

- She already knows everything.

- Not all . There is something not even know and Hannah Lockwood , Blair discover if we will have problems .

- You're not saying that ...

- That's right .

- But what about records ?

- The records are wrong , not over yet . She is still on our side and it's better that way . Even so , no one can know about this , so keep this well-kept secret . The Supreme does not know that this news just escaped , so he has not done anything about it.

  Matthew was meditating on those words . So the Apocalypse was not finished actually . If it really is , Scarlet is right and it could not come to the knowledge of Lockwood . Both the Supreme as the others know that Blair is a killing machine unstable and , if she knows that all is not what she thinks , the collapse between vampires may well go out of control .

- Do not see that much tinned girl?

- Yeah, she did not pass me a good impression .

- Indeed . I felt chills.

- Must be known Matthew .

  Annelise arched eyebrow thoughtfully . Really they had something in common and the same atmosphere that surrounded them was frighteningly cold and melancholy . Blair began to arrange her file again and saw a bright spot on the forehead of Scarlet just the photo. So it was more a vampire .

『VI. True 』

  Mother and daughter went to the room with the intention of talking to themselves. The adoptive father of Blair was out working in a call as security for a bank and they could be at peace . They sat on the bed the girl and stood face -to -face . Blair did not know whether I was doing right , because Hannah could hide the truth again, but she had to try.

- Mother , it is true that I am a Half Blood ? Something strange happened when I was coming home and Matthew told me that you were a vampire hunter , and that my real father was a vampire prince named Benjamin Sky and he died .

- Yes It's true . And Joseph knows it. He was also a hunter and welcomed me when the empire his father was destroyed .

- And why did you hide this from me?

- Because the family relationship that you and Joseph had was wonderful, because I did not want to leave you with a trauma from knowing that his real father is dead .

  Blair paused and stared at her mother , trying to understand what else she was hiding her. Hannah grabbed his daughter's hands firmly and showed a scar that was on her left shoulder .

- This happened when his father died . You only had weeks of their life and we lived all together in his father's castle . Benjamin loved you more than anything and it left a bitter group of subjects . They became rebels and tried to storm the castle at all costs . However , his father was stronger and could inhibit numerous invasion attempts .

' But there was a day when you and I were alone in the castle , because his father was summoned to a meeting with the supreme vampire . The rebels seized this chance and the guards did not have enough strength to stop them and they entered the room where we were . Were armed with various weapons and tried to hurt you , but I still had skills to protect you. '

' His father arrived , but too late . The guards were killed and I was wounded , you cried on my lap and Benjamin came to support you and me. Once he held in his lap , one of the surviving rebels attacked him with a silver dagger . '

  Blair felt his eyes fill with tears . Think everything happened in such a cruel manner was cold and depressing. She felt for her father and all those who morrerram because of it . If it was not because she was crying that day , Benjamin would be alive right now. Hannah bolstered the daughter, who sobbed and took something from the bedside table Blair .

- I think this might make you feel better .

 She took the photograph that depicted her father . Benjamin was a really noble vampire, with dark brown hair well groomed and dark blue eyes that conveyed serenity and sweetness . He was in a white suit and not look directly at the picture , but to a large window . Blair soon realized that there was a similarity between them . The precise distance of the eyes , the shape of the face and chin were equal .

  Hannah looked at it with emotion . If Benjamin were alive , sure would be happy to see how Blair was now.

- I just remembered something.

- What is it?

- Before he died , Benjamin gave you the gift of seeing the weakness of the other vampires and also the gift of healing . A part of his soul is within you since that day.

  Blair 's eyes widened and then she remembered the light that saw Rhayden 's throat and left chest of Matthew . So it was Benjamin who was helping to awaken their true origin of Half Blood .

『V. Half Blood 』

 She came out of hiding , determined to finish everything . However , Blair stopped and wondered what it would do to put an end to all that . With no response , froze a few feet away from the boys . Matthew Rhayden stopped attacking when he saw the girl there and ran over her in a heartbeat . Both the girl and the other boy were unresponsive . She was pinned against the asphalt and the body of the enemy to his companion , unable to move right . Matthew looks oscillated between her and Rhayden without much apparent concern .

- I waited so long for this ... And now the Half Blood is my ... What will you do , my dear opponent ?

- I will not do anything . If you want to know , just care about her .

   Rhayden gave a malignant chuckle and prepared canines to pierce the neck Blair , who was beginning to lose track of where I was. His vision was blurred and his blood pressure was low, which would indicate a swoon . This is no time to faint , the girl thought , trying to find a weak spot to be able to get free. Once Matthew had refused to do anything for her, she had to fend for herself .

  Blair saw a bright spot in the body of your enemy and hit him in the throat with one of the staples holding his silver hair. Rhayden left her and fell on his side , thrashing and growling for the pain that was spreading until it started to burn and disappear without even leaving ashes behind.

  The girl was still stunned by what he had done alone and looked toward Matthew , whose features showed no surprise or admiration. He just walked over and extended his hand to help her up .

- As I was able to do something like that ? What are you ? Who was that ?

- That was Rhayden and , like me, a vampire aristocracy.

  Matthew showed the symbol of the aristocracy of vampires that was in his left wrist , which had the shape of a pentagram in red blood and black colors . Blair stared at the brand until the boy covered again.

- And what you have to say about what I did ?

- That was lucky , nothing more than that .

  She blocked his path and crossed his arms . Believe that he was a vampire all right , but to say that what she had to do was a stroke of luck was not right. Matthew tried to get through it, but Blair would not budge .

- I will not believe it was luck. Matthew , please tell me what happened to me , I know you know something and is hiding it from me . It's my life and I have a right to know .

- It was just luck , I said . At the moment of despair , humans are capable of anything .

- Liar ! As you expica I know exactly where to hit him ? How do you explain the fact that I have seen a glow exactly the weak point of it ? Why he called me Half Blood ? Explain to me , Matthew !

  He fell silent and avoided her gaze . That still was not the right time , but Blair was so stubborn that he did not know what to do . He looked around , searching for a solution to that problem and he saw a shadow facing him from afar. When Matthew stared at the figure , a girl dressed in black appeared and nodded before disappearing into the darkness.

- Okay ... Do not say it's a lie .

  She fixed her eyes on him , waiting for him to continue talking .

- You are a Half Blood .

- I already know .

- Half Blood are rare since when our races began to inhabit the same space . They are born of the union between noble vampires and vampire hunters .

- I mean I'm half - human ?

- No. Hunters Vampires are not just human . He is descended from ancient wizards with humans and that has some special skills to hunt us . By research , it seems that you are the daughter of the vampire Benjamin Sky , Prince of England with late hunter Hannah Lockwood .

- A moment ... Are you saying that my mother was a hunter and had a relationship with a noble vampire? This is ridiculous !

- If it's so ridiculous, why do not you have any physical or psychological trait inherited from his human father?

  Blair paused and bowed his head . It was true that she did not look anything like the man she called father for sixteen years , but by consequence he failed to consider her a daughter .

  Realizing her prolonged silence , Matthew chose one of the cars parked and started the engine to draw the attention of the girl .

- Come on, it is getting late and I think you have a lot to process yet.

  She got into the car mechanically , without realizing the tort that Matthew had just committed and continued thinking about it . As her mother can lie so blatantly ? Does fake her father knew something about it ? What happened to her real father ?

- Matthew , you know what happened to my biological father ?

- No. But your mother should know , ask her.

- And you expect me to say what? Simply intime ?

- His mother is not stupid . When I went to pick you up at your house with vampire she recognized me . Do not tell me you did not realize that she was more serious and hard to talk to me ?

- I figured but thought it was just me .

  They followed the path in silence to the house of Lockwood , where her mother was waiting at the front door with concern . Once Matthew was away and Blair entered , her mother began to examine the neck and the arms of her daughter, as if searching for something suspicious . When he found nothing , Hannah looked into his daughter's eyes at length , looking for a gloss or different feeling . At the end of the diagnosis , she sighed in relief and allowed the girl to go to sleep after giving a short notice .

- Daughter , please have no more contact with that guy, okay? I have not found reliable.

- Mom, you could go up to my room with me for a minute ? There's something I like to talk to you .

『IV. Mystic Night』I

- Is everything all right ? You seem nervous.
  Blair even had realized as I was before leaving the bathroom and came straight to the table . Matthew stared at her intently , trying to figure out what was wrong with her. Realizing his green eyes riveted on her, the girl remembered the question he had and turned to face him .
- It was nothing , I'm fine .
- Well , if you need something, you can trust me .
- Thank you.
  They were silent and tried to encourage her friend Annelise distance slightly , but nothing has been able to break the huge ice barrier between them invisible . Both were close , but with their minds away from what was happening in the hall .
  Until a person dressed as a grim reaper appeared near them , and Matthew got up with some asperity , calling the attention of Blair unintentionally .
- I'll be back .
- Are you okay ?
- Yes , I just need to resolve some small issues .

  He followed the costumed person to a restricted area of the room , which was completely deserted and cold . The reaper stood on a balcony and turned to face Matthew , who arrived seconds later . The person took the cloak and revealed a girl with red hair and smooth , with hazel eyes and extremely pale in the moonlight . The boy gritted his teeth , but remained there without showing her reaction .
- What you want , Amberlyn ?
- Rhayden is coming .
- But ... Why would he be here?
  Amberlyn grimaced .
- As if you did not know . He wants to be the head of that person to overthrow our leader .
- That traitor ... I'll see what I can do about it.
  She put the robe again and passed him .
- Do not tell her anything yet, understand?
- You think you're talking to whom , you moron ?
  Amberlyn was gone and a strange wind blew in the air . Matthew slipped out of there and returned to the table where they found Blair . He looked around the room , but could not find it anywhere. Annelise seen near a table and decided to go to her .
- Hello , Matthew !
- Annelise , Blair saw you out there ?
- She stood on the balcony when I saw ten minutes ago .
  He left without another word and went quickly to the balcony, where Blair was alone looking at the sky with a man dressed in Phantom of the Opera leaning against a wall looking at her. Matthew growled and was close to the girl .
- Want to go home ?
- Well , I think so ...
- Blair ! - Annelise appeared and pulled her friend by the arm to the salon - They will announce the king and queen of terror now !
- I'm leaving.
- No you will not , Miss ! Come on !

  All were gathered in a room and seated at their respective tables , each anxious for results. Blair and Matthew were the last to sit before the headmaster start talking .
- I know everyone is anxious for the results , so I will not do speech and go straight to the point. - He opened the envelopes - Here it is; nominees to be the king of terror , are: Thomas Herrera , Matthew Lloyd and Dylan Mytras ...
  Matthew sighed with discontent, while the rest of the hall whispering about which of them would take the title . When they calmed down again , the director talks resumed .
- However , the winner is Dylan Mytras , who won the title by a vote of difference between Matthew Lloyd , congratulations .
  The winner was the guy with the fancy of Phantom of the Opera , which went up on stage with straight face while receiving a crown and sash .
- And now , those indicated for Queen of terror : Blair Lockwood , Annelise Patterson and Sophia Linston , but we have a tie between Blair and Sophia ladies and fits to choose who will be our king his queen tonight .
  The boy's face dress Phantom of the Opera lit up when he heard the results of the girls . He briefly took the microphone and announced his choice .
- It is an honor to make this choice and I want Blair Lockwood is my queen .
  Matthew Blair gritted his teeth and held him by the hand , leading him to the exit when the other boy was heading towards her.
- Miss would give me the honor ?
- No! You are not one of the students ! I'll call security !
  He grabbed her arm and Matthew moved violently , causing both to fall on the tables and roll across the floor , causing an uproar among students . Blair stopped in his tracks and turned to take his companion that mess . He grabbed her wrist and both ran to the car .
- Matthew , what ...
- Get in the car , quickly! He will soon get out of this mess . We do not have time.
- He ? Who is he ?
  Matthew pushed her into the car and went at full speed and nearly running over several people along the way . Blair felt his stomach was far away at a height of those . He had his knuckles white by force he was holding the steering wheel . Damn , why just now ? The boy thought to himself and those thoughts were passed on in the form of severe and fierce growls .
- Are you okay ?
  He did not answer and she did not bother to answer because a shadow stood in the middle of the road with open arms , waiting for the approach of the vehicle in which they were . Matthew floored the accelerator and continued the route.
- What are you doing ? Do not you see that guy in front ?
  No answer. He was getting nervous and something inside him was eager to break free and take control of the situation .
- Matthew !
- Listen : when I say , will you jump the car .
- Are you crazy ? At this speed I ...
- You will die if you keep in the car ! Now stop asking questions and just get ready to jump.
  She looked at the shoes and the dress . That sure would not end well , but she had no choice .
- Now !
  Blair jumped and Matthew did the same seconds later and the car went on to hit the boy dressed in Phantom of the Opera in full. She covered her eyes to see the size of the accident , however , did not resist the curiosity and saw that the boy had stopped the car with one hand only . Matthew ran towards her and left hidden behind other cars that were parked along the sidewalk and turned to face the other boy , who was without a mask and without the cover .
- Rhayden .
- So you recognize me ? I'm happy without knowing it , however I am surprised with your change ... You are at the beginning was always isolated from everyone around her and now everything has changed : the personality , the looks and even the name , in fact hardly recognized .
  Matthew lost control of himself and let the trapped the thing possessed . For years he struggled to try to control it, but never got real success . His eyes took on the tone of solid silver and cold and took her hair light brown coloring. White and extremely sharp fangs protruded and , in seconds , Matthew Lloyd was not the same . Rhayden opened a smug smile and jumped on his opponent with feline grace , making a scratch on the face of the other boy.
- Will not attack ? It is a waste as much power to you !
  Rhayden continued to attack with ferocity , but Matthew remained the same . Calm, cold and still . Blood dripped from his wounds , but he did not care because I knew Rhayden could not do that much longer .

 Blair watched it with horror. Matthew was not the same and that unknown yet never tired of hurting him . She had to do something, he was sure , but what? It was evident that both were not just ordinary humans and attempting to prevent what could cause more problems for Matthew .
