Corbin and Lillian were walking into the club as the triplets were still right behind them. As they entered the club all eyes were on Lillian and Corbin. The powerful blood of the triplets had changed her even more than Brandon’s did. She was now almost as pale as Corbin, and she had radiance to her flesh as well. Her black hair was now even shinier and her eyes had become a very pale blue. She was beautiful and everyone couldn’t help but stare. Corbin smiled as his new paramour was at his side. She was radiant and walked with pride and elegance. The more ancient blood she drank, the more she would transform into the perfect vampire bride. He knew that things were going to fall into place and he was happy. Corbin turned his glance over at the triplets and smiled at them. He beckoned them to join him and Lillian upstairs for the night and the girls were immediately at his side. Corbin kissed each one on their nose and they all giggled in unison. Corbin held his arm out as the triplets went up the stairs to where Lillian and the twins Dagan and Damien were sitting. Corbin was the last one up and he frowned as he saw Lillian sitting in the far corner.
“Lillian my love, your place is by my side from this moment on, now, please take your rightful place” Corbin said as he sat down. Lillian smiled and walked over to where her new place was, to the right of the oldest vampire anyone has ever known. Once she was seated, all eyes were on Corbin. Corbin held them all in suspense before he spoke, and when he did that was the only sound that they heard.
“Brandon will not be harmed as of yet. He is sour because Lillian is now mine, and I do not blame him. He was a pawn in the game. I sacrificed him in order to get to the queen. See my children, life, immortality is like a game of chess, it is all about strategy. I have been looking at the board for centuries, timing my every move just right. I knew this day would come and I knew when, but during that time I had to make moves with strategic skill. I have chosen each and every one of you for reasons. I assist you when you have chosen to make your own fledgling, and even though you would ignore my best judgment, I still allowed it to be done. When they went insane or made a mess of things, I destroyed them so you didn’t have too. I do this and all the things I do for you out love. You are my children and I will do what I must to protect and teach you. Immortality is something that many cannot handle and they end up throwing themselves into the sun. Being an immortal is a gift and many who have received do not deserve it! You will see those walk on the streets. It makes me sick, and when I see them, I end their pathetic existence right after I find out who the idiot was that made them. I do not like to kill my own kind, but at times it must be done. Now Dagan, Damien, I know you both hated Brandon from the start, but if either of you so much as harm him, I will make your suffering so great that you will beg for death. Now with that being said, I already know what he is planning on doing, and it will start a war.”
They all stared at Corbin as he said these words and knew that he told the truth. Corbin smiled at them all, and with that smile all the tension that was there vanished. Corbin reached over and took Lillian’s hand and turned to look at her. He told her it was time for them all to take their leave for the night and sleep, and that tonight she was to slumber in a coffin next to his. Lillian nodded her head and watched as the others left to their private chambers. Corbin helped her to her feet and together they walked to his quarters. Corbin’s chambers were twice the size of Brandon’s and were much more elegant.
