Re: Elusive Capture: Beaches. Andrew/Evone¡¯
Andrew)
Andrew was quiet for a long moment.? He didn't want to tell her, but there was no way to avoid it now that she'd asked him directly.
"Apparently your father is - unknowingly - set to inherit some very valuable land in France.? Your husband found out about it somehow.? And with your father in poor health and you as his only child, the title to that land will likely be passed down to you in the near future.? And since you're still legally his wife, the title, once it's yours, would pass to him if anything happened to you." He took Evone's hands in his.? "And he was making plans for something to happen to you.? He got a lawyer to draw up some papers that he was going to get you to sign to give him immediate control, but that was only a temporary measure. He was going to have you meet with a fatal accident or mystery ailment that would result in your untimely death."
"That, my love, is why I came after you," Andrew said finally, his eyes blazing with anger as he added?"And why I will kill him the very first chance I get."
?
?- Evone'
Evone¡¯ was quiet will she processed everything Andrew said. So not only did she just learn that her husband wanted her dead, she learned that most likely her father was dead also.
Tears fill her eyes at the information. Not the Lucas thing. She had somewhat came to grips the Lucas wanted her dead thing on the ship. They way he treated her was indicative of someone who didn¡¯t care about her¡but her father...no she didn¡¯t know that.
her father was the only family she had left. He was everything to her. And to learn she her lost him¡this way¡was painful.
She also had an inheritance. Which she knew about because her father was already a wealthy man, But it had to be a sizable inheritance for Lucas to go through as much trouble as he went through. It made sense he wasn¡¯t just letting her go.?

Blood Bonds: Saving the Babes (Vincent, Chantel)
(Chantel/Vincent)
Chantel rushed over to the now lifeless body of Anais. She placed her hand on the lady's chest and increased her senses. She couldn't feel or hear Anais' heartbeat, then she moved her hand to the belly. The babies were struggling, but they were still alive. She pulled the door opened and, "VINCENT!!! GET UP HERE, NOW!!!"
Vincent stood and watched as the body of Draven dissolved and floated away, even the head he was holding. He was quite proud of what he had accomplished. No one else could have pulled that off. He didn't even consider that the man had been distracted by the ladies yells upstairs..no..he had done it all himself. Then he heard Chantel.?"Clean this mess up!" He ordered the men standing around and he ran up the stairs, taking two at a time.
By the time he got to the room, Chantel had moved Anais' body to the bed, she looked panicked. "The bond between her and Draven was more than just a written agreement, it was a full blood pact. She died when he did...the babies are still alive, but I don't know for how much longer."
Vincent went to the phone and quickly made a call, he spoke in a language that Chantel didn't recognize then hung up. "She will be here in about 10 minutes." Chantel gave a nod, she knew that he had called on one of the most powerful witches in his employ. He only called on her when there was absolutely no other alternative.

Re: Raconteur City: Back to the Beginning: Scarlett/Tempest
Tempest
¡± sugar daddy,¡± Tempest chuckled ¡°you are still just as foolish and naive as you were all those many years ago. Especially if you think Wolfram was my sugar daddy. But No,I am not here for revenge, beautiful Scarlett. ?I am here because you called me. You have been calling to me¡to atone yourself for your sins for years. I have finally decided that you are worthy of atonement. For you know we were never friend. We were always Mistress and Slave. Do you remember the last time you needed to atone, pet. ?If I remember is was the night of my party. At my club. The first time you met Wolfram.
*Flashback*
What is a beautifully warm summer evening in New Orleans. And the height of the jazz age. There¡¯s a party at Club Swing. All the arrangements were being made. This party had to be absolutely perfect. Because this was the night that not only with her sire attend, but so to would all the members of the council. Everything needed to be perfect.
Scarlett MacAleister New Orleans, 1971
Scarlett spent time off and on since meeting Tempest in 1968 spending time with her at her various homes around the world. She would spend weeks, sometimes months, in servitude to Tempest, who was training her to be a slave in the bedroom. The redhead, still serving as a warrior for the Vampire Nation, would leave to take on missions for the Council before returning to submit to her mistress once more.
The redheaded vampire found aspects of her servitude to Tempest arousing, even pleasurable. But much of it went beyond role play and sex. At times it was painful, humiliating and degrading. Scarlett never had desired to be 100 percent submissive to anyone, including Tempest. But in order to gain Tempest's trust and get close to her master, Wolfram, the servitude was necessary.?
Scarlett actually had to consider herself fortunate. At some of the vampire sex clubs and dungeons they'd visited, she had witnessed some vampire submissives experiencing much more serious forms of discipline than she had been subjected to by Tempest. Some vampire doms were known to flay the skin from the bodies of their vampire subs, because the flesh would regenerate in a matter of the hours.
Scarlett arrived at Club Swing as Tempest had ordered in the letter, she'd sent to her several weeks earlier. As she stepped out of her 1970 Camaro out in front of the club, a valet took the keys and gave her a tag to claim the vehicle later. Dressed in a tight red bodysuit and heels, Scarlett slung her purse over one shoulder and made her way into the club.
There had been rumors in some vampire circles around the world that Tempest's party would have a lot of big names in the Vampire Nation present...possibly even Wolfram himself. She had been waiting three years for this introduction. It might not allow her the immediate opportunity to kill the foul vampire her turned her so many years ago, but it would set up what she hoped would be a future opportunity to terminate him, once and for all.?
She sauntered into the club, Miles Davis music playing in the background. Tempest loved jazz, though she'd never really cared for it, preferring the more modern sounds of rock-n-roll. After grabbing a glass of blood from the bar, Scarlett made her way into the main room to search for Tempest...

(The End) Hand in hand, Draven's and Anais' spirits turned away from the living to a bright light. The glow was warmth and filled with love. Draven didn't know that he would ever feel this or experience this happily everafter being a vampire. As they stepped into the light, his body slowly dissolved away into floating ash down stairs. There would be nothing left of him. He knew that their children would grow to be strong and independent beings, each with their own unique abilities. He had lived a long and at times wonderful life. Now he would be at peace with his love, his only love and he looked forward to that peace.
