Residence of Clan Phoenix

After the events in Clan Báthory's residence, we sat down in the black limousine and stopped in front of Atlas because Vicki forgot something there.

We all waited in a limousine and after a few minutes, she came back with her driver who then took us to Vicki's home.

The mansion was located deep in the woods and the only ones who lived there were six maids, four serving clan Phoenix, two serving clan Dark, and Vicki's mother, Isobel Phoenix, but she is not home, because she went to the meeting of Vampire clans with their King.

On the way there, I found out that Vicki's father died in war against werewolfs eighteen years ago and Rose's father was murdered five years ago.

Claudia's family was a little complicated and she needed time to share the details so all I know is that she lost her parents and her mother's sister is taking care of her and her clan now.

When we arrived and opened the doors of the black limousine, fresh air filled my lungs.

It was a quiet, peaceful, and beautiful place, very different from the streets of New York.

I saw a big mansion, a garage, and a pool, and all around were trees.

But, turning my gaze at the limousine, I remembered we had a guest.

Opening the trunk and seeing General Perez's tied body and scared face, my body was filled with sadistic pleasure.

He was locked in Atlas's basement "So that's why we stopped there."

"Not entirely" replayed Vicki while she hugged me from behind as a jolt of electricity and forgotten feelings flew through my existence.

'So this is how it feels' I said hearing a response to my inner monologue *COUGH ["Don't think too much host~ just enjoy the company and make some happy memories~"]

I smiled and turned around.

Looking into those beautiful blood-red eyes, my heart flattered as I thought 'You are right, but I have them only because of you, so thanks, Ardelean.'

I kissed Vicki as another beatle of tongues started, hearing ["Heh, No problemo, Christopher"]

My hands then fell from Vicki's waist to her juicy ass as I squeezed it gently, ''Mmmmm~'' making her moan.

Her hands were playing with my hair and the sweet cherry taste of her tongue was slowly increasing my desire to fully make her mine.

In the middle of our battle, I heard footsteps, so I pulled away from Vicki and shifted my gaze to the left side.

On the stairs, leading to the mansion stood six maids with little blushed faces as the maid in the middle said ''Lady Victoria, welcome home."

*Ahm "We are sorry to disturb you but do you want to help with something?''

She was 170 cm tall, wearing a maid outfit but with little red details signalizing that she is something more than other maids in this mansion.

"This is Anna Montgomery, she is the headmaid of our family. Vampire over five hundred years old."

Christopher opened his eyes wide as he scanned the face of the short-black-haired maid.

"She looks so young, am I gonna look the same after five hundred years?" I asked myself as my gaze returned to Vicki.

"Of course darling, you are a vampire too,... but before we talk more we need to do something first" Vicki replayed and looked at Perez who started shaking under her glowing blood-thirsty gaze.

When Anna heard the word 'darling', her eyes opened a little like she discovered the divine truth of life, but in just one second, she returned to her normal, emotionless face 'So, this is him?'.

She then started walking towards me and when she was in front of me she asked "Sir may I know your name?" to which I replied "Christopher, Christopher Salvatore".

She nodded and said "Lord Salvatore, are you going to stay here for a long time or short" which made Vicki's eyebrows twitch when she heard the word 'short'.

"I'm going to stay here for a night but tomorrow, I'm going back to my parents,... I still have a school after all." I answered and Anna nodded again.

'My life changed fast, but that doesn't mean I'm going to leave my parents and school.' I thought looking at the other maids that serve the clan Dark.

'Well, maybe the school is not important anymore so I can just drop it? I don't know ... not yet' I thought.

The maids of Clan Dark wear just fully black maid outfits with small white details around their necklines.

'It looks like Claudia's head maid stayed at her home' I thought as I watched them from behind the limousine trunk with Vicki and Anna.

One of Claudia's maids asked "Lady Rose and Lady Claudia, are you staying too"

"Yes Sasha, help my maids, please. My mansion was attacked and destroyed and they are hurt, really badly" said Rose, and as our eyes met she added "But thanks to my husband, they are going to be fine" while Claudia was nodding for approval.

Rose winked at me and started walking to the front stairs of the mansion.

Anna opened her mouth thinking 'Don't tell me they are in love with the same boy'.

Claudia looked at me, smiled, and walked behind Rose as my eyes returned to Vicki while the maids in black started helping Rose's maids.

"Help them," said Anna in an ordering tone as she looked at the three maids standing on the stairs.

They hurried to help and when they took Lorie out of the limousine she looked at Christopher and whispered "Thank you for your help,... My Lord."

Christopher, thanks to his advanced hearing, heard that and just smiled, nodded, and said "You welcome maid"

Lorie blushed and she was not the only one as Anna suddenly turned away and hid her face, thinking 'Why? Why do I feel like this? Why do I want to serve him every time I look at him?'

Christopher saw this struggle as he smiled internally, thinking 'What's wrong with her?'

He then extended his right hand to Vicki as they started walking to her mansion like a couple, letting Anna walk behind them as her eyes were switching between her master and a man who piqued her interest and became the first man who, after a long time, made her feel something.

Around the mansion was a big garden full of trees and flowers.

"May I ask you something?"

While waiting for Vicki's response I was looking at a nearby tree that reminded me of some painful and happy memories.

"What is it darling?" she replied with excitement as her cheeks suddenly colored with pink color.

"Can I take a walk around your mansion to clear my head a little?"

Looking into my blood-red eyes, Vicki smiled and said "Of course darling, Anna, you are going to accompany my husband-" but I interrupted her, saying "Honey, can Lorie come with me?" as her gaze turned blood red and her eyes narrowed.

For a long time, I saw her 'yandere' face as she was looking at me with an emotionless expression, lifeless eyes like two black holes, a crazy smile that sent shivers down my spine while asking "Why Lorie?!" in demanding, cold and jealous tone.

I smiled and said "She needs a walk to calm down from that attack, she had her inner organs pulled from her body. I would take a walk too if it happened to me."

Understanding that Christopher doesn't have ulterior motives and he just wants to help, her face turned back, her lips formed a kind smile, and the iris in her eyes shaped into two pink glowing hearts.

"Ohhh... hehe sorry, okay darling. I let myself carry away."

"Anna, go to Lorie's room and announce to her that MY HUSBAND wants her to accompany him on his walk." said Vicki, making sure that Anna heard the words 'MY HUSBAND' as she looked at her, clearly seeing that Anna was interested in her darling from the first time she saw him.

Somehow, girls have a sixth sense when it comes to things related to love and romance...

Anna nodded "Yes Lady Victoria" bowed and walked away thinking 'Wh-what did I do wrong? Nobody ever changed me for another maid. Everyone liked my company!'

'I'm silent and helpful all the time. So why is Lord Christopher refusing my company and choosing Lorie, that annoying loud bitch?'

'And what are these feelings in my heart !!!'

And while Anna was in her world, Christopher and Vicki started another one of their kissing sessions, but someone was watching them.

Claudia and Rose were looking at Christopher and Vicki, through one of the front windows on the third floor of the mansion.

"Do you think he truly loves us or is it just an act? After all, we are a little weirder than normal girls. Even other vampire girls are thinking we are weird and psychos." said Claudia in a worried tone.

"He is different" responded Rose adding "At first, I felt almost nothing from him when he woke up in my bed so I thought the same as you now."

"Like, what if something happened and he changed his mind, but when Lazarus attacked me, and Christopher came out of my burned mansion, I felt a true worry, anger, and... something heavy."

"Something changed in him and I can still feel it in my heart. He is the right one."

"Yeah, I feel it too but he didn't even know us and we know everything about him. I'm just worried that... he might leave us one day" as she and Rose's eyes changed to lifeless at the imagination of Christopher leaving them or disappearing forever.

They stared through that window for a few minutes and Christopher felt it, but he just smiled, thinking 'I need to show them that I like them' hearing ["Correct host~, so don't screw it up! Because then, they would kill us or lock us in some basement. And I don't want that! NEVER AGAIN!"]

'Hahahaha don't worry Ardelean. I won't, but did you just say... AGAIN???' thought Christopher and Ardelean just coughed and took his right to remain silent as Christopher laughed with his inner voice.

But, waking up from his thoughts, he gave his hand around Vicki's waist, asking "Honey? Wanna dance with me?"

Vicki's eyes lit up even more and started glowing in an incredibly attractive rhythm "It was a long time since I danced the last time so it would be a pleasure, darling."

Ardelean almost choked when he heard that, saying ["Idiot! I said to you in the car that you should wait until you are inside!"]

'Yeah you said that, but I don't want to wait.' thought Christopher.

["Haaah, fine. Enjoy it then"]

Hearing what he wanted, Christopher took out his phone, lit the screen, and touched the button.

He extended his hand, Vicki took it and their dance started.

...

"W-What?" was all that came from Claudia as jealousy filled her heart, making her want to jump through that window and steal Christopher for herself.

She even started thinking about a forgotten basement she had in her home and 'I should steal him for myself when we are alone'.

"Well, I think he really at least likes us," said Rose her heartbeat with the same jealousy as Claudia's but then:

*BOOOOOOOOOM!

A big explosion happened in Rose's mind when she remembered a very, very small detail.

She forgot about it, but now, she started trembling which made Claudia wake up from her jealous stupor.

"What's wrong?" she asked looking at Rose, feeling that something must have gone wrong.

"D-Do you remember when you saw Christopher walking from my burned mansion?" answered Rose.

"Yes, he was completely fine. Why?" said Claudia with literal question marks, that appeared around her head.

"That's it, he was completely FINE! I remember that Lazarus pierced Christopher with Raziel's SWORD! HE SHOULD BE DEAD!!!" screamed Rose, touching her head that went overdrive while Claudia opened her mouth in shock.

Claudia looked at Christopher through the window and said "That means only one thing. He's no ordinary vampire like we thought" as Rose nodded.

But when Rose wanted to continue, someone interrupted them.

It was Anna, walking around, looking for Lorie and mumbling something about Christopher.

Rose's and Claudia's eyebrows twitched at the words Anna said, having the same thoughts 'Hmmm, I'm going to watch you, headmaid!'

They looked at each other, nodded, and started walking behind Anna in shadows, unnoticed like assassins.

And while Rose and Claudia were walking behind unaware Anna and Christopher were dancing with Vicki, Lorie was in her world as her mind was repeating only one thought like a broken record.

'My darling saved me, he loves me, he wants me and he is mine. My Alex saved me.' But then her thoughts stopped.

'No, no, no, no, no he is not Alex anymore stupid Lorie! His name is Christopher now. And he loves ME, he saved me, he wants me and he is MINE!'

Then her eyes opened and started glowing red with a dangerous and possessive glint.

'AND NO ONE CAN HAVE HIM EXCEPT ME!' was the last thought she had as she burst out from her room looking like she was possessed by a demon, but stopped in front of Anna.

She wanted to push her away, but after what she suddenly heard, her berserker form froze, stopped, and returned to the depths of her soul and heart.

"Oh Lorie," said Anna with obvious jealousy in her voice, adding "Lord Christopher is waiting for you to accompany him on his walk around the mansion."

Lorie's expression turned to kind and loving, thinking 'He wants to see me! I'm running My Love' as she started running towards the stairs, leading to the second floor.

Anna just looked at the mess Lorie made and started cleaning, while Claudia and Rose were standing in near shadow corners of the corridor.

Claudia was looking at Anna, while Rose started understanding what was happening with Lorie.

She was her maid after all and the only one who knows Lorie's past is Rose.

And it has been a long time since she reacted like this so something must have triggered this reaction, and Rose already had an idea who might it be.
