I'd had enough of waiting for people to figure the prophecies out. Had enough of secret meetings on the island that allowed me only a taste of what was truly mine. My girl was becoming more addicted to my teeth ripping at her flesh. She probably was beginning to notice that with each taste she allowed me she was being drawn deeper into the dark abyss that was my hold on her. The last thing I wanted was for her to achieve a moment of clarity and decide to sever ties again.
Her father was pissing me off by making me his office bitch. Harry Osborn was still a little boy trying to be a man. He was James' puppet on a string. I'd be damned if I would crawl for a puppet. He thought he could protect his family from me, but he had no idea how much control I already had on Alexia. How much darkness and obsession I'd seen reflecting in those dark eyes of hers. Oh yes, she was ready and so was I.
It was time to make my move.
It took a simple glamor spell to make me look like a harmless friend of the twins. Someone they would easily invite into the house. I had the dart gun ready despite my natural desire to eat them both and leave their cooling corpses posed in the living room as a welcome home gift for my baby. I'd made a promise not to hurt Lexi's family so I'd use the darts to secure them. The door was answered, an invitation extended to come in, and that was that. Before Faith realized she had a vampire in her home I had her darted with two darts. I turned the gun on Tyler next. Two for him as well. Oh how the pretty Osborns fell like timber in a forest.
Making short work of securing them with chains that I'd brought with me. I left them bound in the basement. If I knew Osborn he had been tempted to make it soundproof. That was the nature of the Aurelian line. Always have a secure playroom. Not that the basement showed any signs of being the family fun time room, it would do. Hopefully it wasn't soundproof because I wanted them to hear her. I wanted her to hear them if it came down to it. Terror and rage only made the blood sweeter you see. I propped them up across from each other so they could converse when they woke up. Once they were all taken care of, I locked the door.
Then I went to sit in the living room with a drink. I had more darts in the gun in case anyone decided to drop by uninvited. If they were family, I'd dart them, and if they weren't? I was a bit famished. It was hard setting the stage for my sweet girl's rebirth. Lounging on a chair, I sipped the drink and kept my eyes on the door. Come here, pretty girl, Mommy has a surprise for you.
