Questions for Father? (Victoria, Vincent, Colin)
|
(Tori)? Learning all of this this was also overwhelming for Victoria. How many times have a child growing up did she wish to be vampire…to be accepted in circles where she was ostracized…to feel like she actually belong as part of her family. But it was Colin’s question that made her break from her own internal musing to listen to what her father would actually say.
?
Even if her brother didn’t Phrase the question rather crudely… tainted blood. She never considered her werewolf blood to be tainted was interesting to hear it phrase that way. But she was very much interested in what her father had to say and answer to that question. So she waited for him to answer. (Vincent / Colin) "I wouldn't call Tori's blood, tainted any more than I could call yours." Vincent said to them. "That wasn't how it was supposed to sound, okay...mixed. If she were to lean more on her vampire side and make that transformation to be more hybrid than werewolf, would that make her a better candidate for this betrothal, if she wants to be?" Vincent thought about it for a moment, then, "honestly, that would depend on the vampire's family. It is not something that Chantel and I had thought about or even considered. The vampire family does not know about Victoria or even that she is a hybrid, but if it is something that she..." he redirected his attention to Tori, realizing that they were starting to speak about her as if she wasn't there, "...you would like to be considered for then the entire truth about you would have to be made known to the vampire and his family."

Victoria looked over at her brother. She knew what he meant. ?And she thought it was sweet he was trying to look out for her. Colin thought she wanted to be consider for this marriage…and the thing was she didn’t. She just wanted her parents to love and respect her as apart of their family. But she wasn’t their family was she?? “No. I don’t. I don’t want to be forced to marry. But it does hurt knowing that as your daughter these people don’t even know I exist because I was never viable to you.” she said?
?
“And that’s what I mean father. You said Colin never asked about his heritage. That’s because you never treated him differently. But you always treated me differently. Hell, I thought I was taken in because you and mother were committing some act of altruism. It turns out you killed my parents. I thought Colin and I weren’t really brother and sister. ?It turns out we are actually twins. As much as you showed me love. You treated me differently. I grew up feeling like if in did one thing wrong you would give me away. So I tried so hard to be what you wanted so that you wouldn’t.” Victoria said a tear dropping from her eye.
?
She shook her head and wiped her eyes. “I’ve had enough of this conversation. “ she said her protective mask back in place. “The girls you want are in the album on the table. Let me know when you would like to see them.” |

Vincent didn't understand what he and Chantel had done to make her think that they treated her differently.?

“Are you sure about that Father? That you never treated me any differently from Colin? Can you really say that when what started this whole conversation was the fact that you came here looking for a slave to turn to fulfill the terms of a betrothal since me being werewolf disqualified me and since these people don’t even know I exist. I have been your daughter my whole life. I have been to court with you and Collin how could they not know I exist unless of course you’ve never told them I was your daughter.
?
“Did you forget the way I grew up? Colin grew up in the lap of vampiric Society. The gold boy. ? I grew up thinking I was the daughter of a servant, that you took in. Whenever I asked about my upbringing, you would deflect and mother would get angry. And again, even now the only reason why we’re talking about this is because you thought Colin had an interest. I’ve been asking this question my whole life. So you can’t tell me that you didn’t treat me any differently, Father.
?
“Did you love me? Did you and mother love me? Yes. and I love you both for it, but did you treat me differently than Colin? Yes, yes you did, but I’m always looked at that as just the nature of what it was like to be werewolf in a vampire society.”

He knew that everything she said was truth. He didn't know what else to say. There is all was, black and white. He took a moment to gather his thoughts. Then he simply said, "forgive me." Colin had never seen his father so...so what? Put in his place. At a loss for words. It was so unlikely him. But Tori had managed to do just that, which meant everything she said was truth. Huh, interesting. He sat back and placed his hands behind his head, wondering where the conversation was going to go next, if at all. Tag: Tori? |

I love you both for everything you’ve done for me. Did I grow up differently? Yes, but I also grew up. Loved in your own way you both loved me. You didn’t treat me badly or like a servant because I was werewolf. You gave me free access to my people. You’re allowed to grow up with Collin as his sister. You didn’t give me away and for that I am forever grateful. You don’t need to ask my forgiveness, father. You have my love and my devotion and my appreciation.

Then he chuckled at Tori's comment about being the oldest. He wanted to see how this played out between the two. Colin gave his sister a smile, "only by a few seconds...but sure. Well, I guess we find out more about his family that is wishing to have an arranged marriage. What is it they are looking for and why is this so important?" He looked to Vincent. "Well, they are a rival family. They have always been against the St. Claire's for power and prestige in the vampire community. The father wishes to be the next ruler and feels that having a marriage between their son and one of our own would help him with this. It will also combine our finances and better both houses...." Vincent paused as he looked at Tori. "I do wonder if you might be the best choice, if you were wanting to be, but let us move onward. Do you have any specific girl that would work for this and be moldable for such a thing?" Colin looked to Tori, "well, you know more about the product than I do. What do you say sister?" Tag: Tori |

“ A rival house,” Tori repeated. “ that says a lot without saying much. he wants to be ruler.” She said that she got off her knees and stood to walk over to the desk.
?
“Do we want that. Do we really want to have someone who we considered a rival to have that kind of power? ?to be Prince of the city? And if they need us in our finances then couldn’t we just stage a coup as opposed to joining with them. Just something to consider.

“if you would like to flip through the pages, you will see a brief summary of each of the girls. I can give you a little bit more insight into their personality based on what I have found. in the meantime what can you tell me a bit more regards to who our selection will be marrying? name , age, rank in the family, ?preferences?” |
