It was already afternoon when Sam and Michael finally got out of the SUV in front of the Carousel Beach Inn in Santa Carla. The hotel was not far from the boardwalk, all you had to do was walk down Riverside Avenue and then cross Beach Street and you were there.
Sam had deliberately chosen this hotel because he knew that you could get every sort of food on the boardwalk. Sam was glad that he had expensed two rooms instead of having to share a room with his brother as he had planned. That cost him more, but it didn't matter now. Sam was still pissed off at his brother; how could he dare to tell him something silly like he did?
Michael knew very well how much the incident with the vampires all that time ago had burdened his family. Even their grandfather, who had spent his whole life in Santa Carla, had left the town.
Lucy had moved back to Arizona with Sam but they stayed far enough from Sam and Michael's father. Lucy ran the household for an old lady in a small town and took care of the frail husband. She lived with Sam in a small apartment in the old lady's house.
Sam suffered from anxiety and depression. He just couldn't forget what had happened back then. He had terrible nightmares and didn't get along in school very well. His grades went downhill very quickly and he had no interest to make any friends. Most times he went into seclusion.
When Lucy had enough of her son's behavior she eventually got him to do therapy, so Sam went to various psychologists for many years and he took medication.
Sam became a little better and finally, he got his high school diploma. At the age of eighteen, he took a cure. He met Tessa an adorable young woman. They fell in love and married some years later. Sam and Tessa had two kids, Daniel and Nathalie.
Due to lack of time, Sam stopped his therapy at some point. He was working a lot. Most days he came back home late. The time off from work he wanted to spend with his family. He just didn't like the idea of being like his father.
His nightmares got worse again. He helped himself with cocaine. It got so bad that his marriage broke up. Tessa moved to her parents with the children. For Sam, that was his wake-up call.
He went back to therapy and managed to get clean. Then Edgar called and told him about the two hunters Bill and Ted. Edgar had asked the two men to check on Zoe since Bill and Ted were in town anyway about the werewolves.
Edgar was in trouble. Alan had been bitten and kidnapped by a vampire. Edgar had to find out where Alan was detained. At some point, Ted had explained to Edgar on the phone that he and Bill had just learned that the vampires were back. Ted also told Edgar that Christina, the bloodsucker's daughter, also lived in Santa Carla now. Ted had assured Edgar that he and Bill would take care of the woman. She was close to Edgar's sister and Bill didn't like that.
Edgar had warned Sam. He had advised him to get Christina out of the line of fire, otherwise, he could soon be at her funeral. Edgar had admitted to Sam that David and his gang were not the worst trouble for Christina. Bill and Ted were!
Sam didn't make the mistake not to believe Edgar. He had done that once when he didn't believe in vampires being real. Sam had learned just this when he noticed the changes in Michael.
Sure, Christina was not Michael's biological daughter, but Sam saw her as his niece. She was family and he would do everything to protect her from the hunters and the vampires. Sam had protected his family once and he was sure he could do it again!
Sam also was sure if David would find out that Christina was his daughter, and he would, Sam was certain that the cunning vampire would do everything to get his child to his side.
From conversations with Michael and Star, Sam knew that David could be very charming when he had something in mind. Christina was susceptible to it because she wanted nothing more than to be welcome somewhere and not just tolerated! David would shamelessly take advantage of that, that much was certain!
The sun had just set when David floated through the air from rest place to the floor with an elegant roll. David loved that, it never got old, it made him happy that vampires could fly!
He took another look at his family; none of the others made any move to wake up in the next few minutes; so David reached for his socks and boots in relief and headed for the common room. He wanted a few minutes for himself! He had to make up his mind about his next step!
Edgar and Alan's sister were locked in one of the rooms. David had let her fall asleep, so he didn't have to worry about her because Zoe would only wake up when David ordered it. David would deal with her later.
To be honest, he had no intention of harming her. Although she was the little sister of the assholes who tried to wipe out David and his brothers at the time, Zoe couldn't help it. She was also Christina's friend, the only one she had if David saw it correctly.
It would be more than stupid to do anything to Zoe Frog, which would make David upset his child, and he didn't want that. He had no resentment against the woman, she was just born at the time and was just as clueless as Christina.
Christina, yes it was a completely different thing. David grinned in amusement at the sight she had given when Marko had finally appeared in the cave with her. The little one was completely wasted and had just fallen asleep in Marko's arms during the flight from the old slaughterhouse to the sunken hotel.
Christina was still sleeping in the room next door in the bed Laddie had been using until recently. David put on his socks and boots, then went over to Christina to make sure she was really there.
David could hardly believe it, he had racked his brain for weeks on how he could bring his child into the family. And then suddenly everything was going so fast, well, and now she was actually there. He could really touch her. David carefully took her hand and squeezed it lightly. Christina felt the touch somehow because she mumbled something in her sleep. He left the room smiling.
Marko had reported last night that Christina had been doing well. She had finally defeated her fear of Marko and freed him. She could have just run away, she could have just left Marko behind, but she hadn't. Christina was obviously very brave and probably a little careless, even if she wasn't aware of it.
David would have loved to see his daughter knocking that bastard down. He really deserved it! David was proud of his child, but he also knew that the child was far from having arrived in the family. He would have to do persuasion, but he would do that, he was sure.
Some decisions had to be made that night! Christina needed a sire. It was a kind of mentor who would teach her everything she should know as a vampire. A sire was usually also a father figure, a good friend and sometimes a lover. A sire and his fledgling often felt drawn to each other.
So David couldn't take over that part, and frankly, he didn't want to. He already had some hands full with Dwayne, Marko, and Paul. These three vampires were not always so easy to handle, they had their own will. But David loved the three of them for that very reason, but sometimes went way overboard, like Dwayne when he attacked Christina.
But his children weren't the only reason David didn't want to be Christina's sire. Christina was his daughter, she shouldn't be drawn to him that way! Vampires weren't exactly the most moral of all creatures on this planet, but that would go too far!
But whoever would end up being Christina's mentor, David would help and be on hand with help and advice, after all, it was about his child. David was deep in thought, so he didn't notice Dwayne grinning while starting the coffee machine. "Is she still sleeping?" Interrupted David's dark-haired vampire.
David looked at him a bit astonished because normally he missed nothing. "Yes, and that's a good thing because we have something to discuss," he replied. Dwayne nodded. "I can already imagine what it is about," he replied with a smile.
He wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Marko, who had also entered the room with Paul and Laddie. "Paul, why are you sometimes so caustic?" Marko moaned.
Laddie just laughed at the two and sat on a chair. Paul stopped next to Dwayne. "Marko, how long have you been so sensitive?" he asked back with a smile and took the just-filled coffee cup out of Dwayne's hand, whereupon he received a warning look from his brother. Paul laughed. "Don't be like that, Dwayne," he said. "If you were mortal, you would be a candidate for a heart attack as much as you drink this stuff!"
With the cup in hand, he sat on the back of Marko's armchair. Marko looked at Paul and shook his head. "You really should know best how shit it gets when your body comes in contact with holy water," he nagged. Paul grew serious. "Chill out buddy," he apologized. "I didn't mean it like that!"
David and Dwayne looked at each other and shook their heads. David got up and went to the fridge. "Anyone else wants a beer?" He asked. "We have something important to discuss! I could actually just decide for myself, which would probably be better, but I still want to hear your opinion!"
Indeed, David could have simply appointed one of his men to be Christina's mentor because he was the boss after all. He didn't want that but he wasn't Max, who had often used his position of power.
David wanted the chosen one to take on this challenge. David wanted Christina and her sire to get on well. Everyone now looked at David with interest. "What's so important?" Asked Paul impatiently. David sighed. "Paul, can you shut up once and just listen ?!"
Paul shrugged and drank a drink of his coffee but actually kept his mouth shut. It wasn't very smart to test David's patience, he knew that. David cleared his throat. "Well, it's about the little one, Christina," he explained. "She needs a sire, you know that."
He looked at the floor when everyone nodded. "Very well," he continued. "Which one of you does the job?" Dwayne immediately raised both hands in defense. "I already have Laddie," he remarked. "Besides, I would certainly not be the right one anyway after attacking her in the forest."
Paul grinned. "I'd like to take care of the little one," he offered. David looked over at Marko, waiting for a statement from him. "What about you?" He asked, although he already knew the answer.
Even though Marko was much more down-to-earth than Paul, Paul would be the better choice for Christina. The two liked each other and David hadn't forgotten that it was Paul Christina saw in her dreams; there had to be a connection between the two, even if David couldn't how that could happen. But he still wanted to know what Marko had to say. "You would actually be the next in line since you are older than Paul. Besides, she saved your ass! You owe her something."
Paul looked disappointedly from Marko to David. "I would make a good sire," he tried to convince David. David put his hand on Paul's shoulder. "I know that," he replied with a smile.
"But it's Marko's turn first, and at least I want to hear what he has to say!" Marko shook his head. "I know your daughter is important to you, David," he said. "But I don't want to do that. She is Star's daughter, no matter what she did last night. I'm grateful to her, believe me, but no, I don't want to! Paul would be perfect, think about it!"
Laddie looked at David somewhat embarrassed. "I could be Christina's Sire?" He offered shyly. "After all, we've known each other since she was born." David didn't get to answer Laddie's question because Christina suddenly stood in the room. She had heard what Laddie had just said.
She looked at the men in amazement. "What in the world is a sire?", she asked. "And why should I need something like that? And anyway, where am I?"
Five pairs of eyes looked at her intently. Marko rolled his eyes, however. "Typical, you are hardly awake when you start nagging again," he complained. "You see, David, that's exactly what I mean." Then he turned to Christina again. "Child, sometimes, you're really a pain in my ass!"
Christina looked at him pouting. "What do you think you are? I'm not a child, stop calling me that," she scolded. "I'm sure ..." Christina fell silent. She was definitely older than Marko in human years, but how long was he a vampire. "How old are you?" She finally asked him somewhat uncertainly.
Marko hid his grin behind his hand. Then he got up and went to Christina, she backed away from him, his grin widened. "I'm twenty-one," he replied with a laugh. "But I've been twenty-one for several decades!" Christina looked at him. She opened her mouth to say something and finally closed it again. She was unable to get out a word.
David had enough. He wanted to finally have everything settled. He got up from his chair and went to Christina. "You are at our home," he said. "I hope you slept well. And I hope you feel a little better. After all, you had to put up with a lot."
Christina looked at him wide-eyed and wanted to reply, but David had already turned and went to the coffee machine. He poured coffee into a cup and placed it on a table with empty chairs. "Maybe you'll sit down first," he asked the young woman with an inviting gesture. Then he pulled his pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and set it beside the cup. "Fell free to help yourself and then we should talk!"
Christina sighed and looked at David suspiciously, nevertheless she followed his request and sat down at the table with Laddie. Laddie pushed the cup over to her.
"Dwayne is my sire," he tried to direct the conversation back to the subject. Christina looked at him in horror and looked anxiously at Dwayne. He smiled at her and looked sideways, embarrassed, when he realized that Christina could remember what he had almost done to her. He really should have pulled himself together that night!
"That means he's teaching me everything I need to know now that I'm a ... uh because I'm part of the family," said Laddie. David looked hard at the youngest of the vampires to silence him, then sat down at the table as well.
"What Laddie means is that if you become one of us, you will have let's say it that way an aide at your side," David explained. "You will have to learn a lot of things, and teaching you everything important is the job of your sire!"
Christina looked at David totally blank. "What do you mean? How do I become one of you?", she asked. "Maybe I don't want that at all!"
Now Laddie got up and turned Christina's chair over so he could look at her. She looked frightened in Laddie's eyes. "Christina, I was always very happy to be around you! No, not the way you might think now! It's just that you look so much like your father. You were at least all that was left of this family. I've just learned that they still are alive when David and Dwane visited me some weeks ago."
At first, Christina didn't understand what he was talking about, but then she remembered something. Hadn't Laddie told her her father's name? His name was David, just like ... She turned to David, and only now did she realize that he had exactly the same eye color as her. David guessed her thoughts and grinned.
Marko jumped up from his chair. "Did you finally get it, child?" He called enthusiastically. "It took you long enough!" Christina looked over at him, then at Laddie, then at David again. She felt totally overwhelmed by the situation and was about to burst into tears again.
David put his hand on Christina's cheek. "I'm your father, that's why you're here," he whispered. "I want you by my side, here is your place, here with us!" Christina could hardly believe it, David looked so young.
"But you all are...," she began. "Are you all like Dwayne and Marko?", she finally asked. David sighed, then nodded. "Yes, we are vampires, all of us. Even Laddie joined us last night," he admitted. "And just that you know it, we love it, and you will do so too!"
"But I don't want to, I don't want to ..." Christina didn't finish her sentence. She just started crying.
Marko got annoyed again. "Now just listen, little one. I met a young lady for whom our laddie was supposed to draw a tattoo here," he began his speech. "You know what I'm talking about now, don't you?" Christina looked at him and nodded sheepishly.
Marko also nodded. "Good, and what can you see on this template?" He asked. "Isn't it a certain someone who always appears to this young lady in her dreams and saves her?"
Paul looked questioningly at Marko because he was the only one who did not know this template. But Marko continued undeterred. "Doesn't that certain someone remind you of a figure that is in here right now?"
Christina had turned bright red now and looked around. David got up and went to the fridge. "Thanks, Marko, that's exactly what we need now," he scolded. Marko pouted. "I'm just tired of this conversation," he stated.
Christina didn't listen. Her eyes were on Paul. He still had no idea what was going on. David had whiskey poured into six glasses and took two of them. He handed one to his daughter. "You look like you might need that now," he remarked. "Laddie get this damn template and show it to him!"
Paul frowned. Laddie was back quickly and handed Paul his drawing. Dwayne watched silently, then poured himself another whiskey and handed the bottle to David, who had also taught his glass in one go. Marko grinned at Paul. "Do you understand now?"
Paul raised his eyebrows and looked at the picture in disbelieve, then he whistled through his teeth and grinned. "How long have you been dreaming of me, honey?" He asked with a laugh. "Come on, that's no reason to get shy," he added when he noticed how embarrassed Christina was.
She smoked one of David's cigarettes after another. Christina looked over at David, looking rather helpless. "Can I have another one?" She asked shyly and downed her drink.
David nodded and grabbed her glass to fill it up. "Well, we're listening," he asked his daughter to answer Paul's question. Christina blushed again. She wanted to just run away, but she knew she wouldn't be able to get out of this trouble easily.
She sighed. "So did you know my stepfather too?" She asked. David nodded. "I'll tell you everything that happened back then," he replied. "But it's your turn now!"
Christina looked to the side, embarrassed, and pushed her glass over to David so that he could refill it again. She didn't really like whiskey, but she didn't care now. She already felt that she was no longer sober, but she didn't care about that either. She felt warmth in her stomach from the whiskey, which was not so uncomfortable.
"Well," she finally started. "Laddie sure told you that my relationship with Michael was difficult?" She looked around the room and studied the faces of the vampires.
Paul laughed out loud once. "Difficult is an understatement, honey," he scolded. "It behaved like an idiot towards you!"
Christina shrugged. "I always thought it was my fault that he behaved like this," she admitted sheepishly. "It was a long time before I realized that I hadn't done anything wrong. I didn't understand why this man hated me that much."
David took her hands. "Why didn't you leave when you got old enough?" He asked. "You have a good education and I don't have the impression that you can't handle your commitments."
"I didn't want to leave my siblings alone," she confessed. "I promised my mother to help Michael with the two of them. They were little when Mum died. She was sure that it would improve our relationship, but that never happened."
David had lowered his head but still looked at her through the eyelids. "Laddie told us that Michael hit you when you asked for me. The day Star was buried, I mean," he informed his daughter.
Christina nodded. "Yes, that's right," she confessed. Then she smiled. "Laddie was the only one who defended me," she reported. "The others were all too busy, or they just didn't care. Sam and Lucy weren't in the room, otherwise, Michael would never have dared. I was only seventeen and didn't think anything about the question. I wanted to just know your name and what sort of man you are."
Christina had taught her glass again and her reluctance was becoming less and less. She wanted to push it in David's direction again, but Paul had gotten up and stopped her.
"I have something better here," he said, holding a joint up to her face. Christina backed away a little. "But that's not a good role model," she chided Paul, but he laughed. "Maybe," he replied. "But that doesn't give headache either," he justified. "But that would give you some," he added, pointing to the whiskey bottle. "Come on Chrissy, want you to stay. We care for you as we care for each other!"
Marko laughed. "Yeah sure," he called amused. "Above all you!" Dwayne laughs too. "But Paul is right, if she doesn't want a headache tomorrow, his medicine is definitely the better choice," he defended Paul.
David sighed and held the hand in which Paul held the joint. He took it and lit it. Paul protested and took it away from David after he took a drag. "Where are your manners, big daddy?" He quipped. "Ladies first, right?"
He handed the joint to Christina. "You have to keep it in your mouth a little," he explained. It didn't matter to Christina now, she was no longer afraid of the vampires, except maybe Dwayne.
She did what Paul had advised her to do and passed the joint on to Laddie. "Do you do that more often?" She asked. "Sometimes," Paul admitted with a grin. "But you weren't finished with your story," he remarked, then lifted Christina from her chair, sat down on it, and pulled her onto his lap.
The young woman gave a brief cry of shock and amazement. Paul grinned cheekily at her. "Come on, keep going," he asked her. David rolled his eyes in annoyance, the other three were only amused by Paul's behavior.
Christina just wanted to get it over with. Everything gushed out of her, she never stopped telling and she didn't miss anything. Christina paused for a moment. "Well, and since I've been living in Santa Carla, you always appear at the end of those nightmares and smile at me," she concluded her report. "But you look different!"
Paul giggled. "Do I look like this?" He asked, showing his vampire's face. Christina jumped from his lap in amazement. "Damn it, would you please stop that shit!", she shouted, pulling away from him.
"Christina," Paul summoned her. "If I wanted to hurt you, I could have done it long ago!" Christina looked at him annoyed and let him pull her back onto his lap. He had put on his human face again. "Though if I think about it," he said, amused after sniffing Christina's neck. "You smell damn good!"
"Paul," the others called at the same time. "She's right," David said. "Stop that now!" Then he grinned at his daughter. "You woke up and hovered under the ceiling?", he asked amused. "One of the benefits we enjoy, it's fun. You'll be able to control it soon, right Laddie?"
Laddie nodded when Christina looked over at him with interest. "David is telling the truth, it's fun!"
"But you kill people," Christina said. "I do not want that." David took her hands in his. "There are a lot of very bad guys out there, believe me," he said. "Just imagine you're able to eliminate rapists, child molesters, and other characters. Would that really be a big loss?"
Then he became very serious. "But we actually have a decision to make," he reminded everyone of the original theme of the evening. "If you could choose, who would be your mentor?" David was sure that Christina would choose Paul.
Christina looked around the room and was embarrassed again. "I would choose Paul," she finally admitted. "I think I could handle that. And maybe Laddie. It's right, I've known him all my life and I trust him." Then she suddenly laughed. "He gave me his Mucki when I was born. I still have it today," she admitted.
The three other vampires looked blankly from Christina to Laddie. "Who or what is Mucki?" Marko finally asked. Laddie grinned. "Back then Dwayne won me a teddy on the boardwalk," he told his friends.
"Yeah," David said only, suddenly standing up from the table with the whiskey bottle in hand. He poured all of it out. "Paul, are you ready to be her sire?" He asked with his typical bold smile. When Paul nodded, grinning, David toasted everyone. Then he looked over at Laddie. "You are actually too young for this task, but a little bit of you certainly can't hurt," he said with a laugh. "But Paul is the boss, of course," added David, laughing.
Laddie nodded in surprise but delighted. David turned to his daughter. "Come to me, child," he asked, holding out his hand to Christina and waiting for her to stand next to him.
He looked down at her. "I'll tell you how we do it," he explained. "I want to be honest with you. I don't want to rush into anything, so I suggest that your future mentor, or rather your mentors, come to your apartment with you. You pack some of your belongings and spend a few nights with us, and then we'll see. So we can get to know each other and you will soon find out that we are all friends here!"
Christina looked at David. "I lost my bag in the forest," she admitted worriedly. "There's my key in there, and ..." Dwayne held up an object. "Do you mean this bag," he asked with a smile. Christina nodded happily.
She hadn't noticed that Paul had left the room briefly, with Laddie. David had told them to pour some of their blood into a half-empty wine bottle through their mind link. David just couldn't manage to play with open cards because he was afraid of losing his child. He didn't want to take that risk.
Christina looked at the bottle Paul held out to her in surprise after agreeing to David's idea. After all, he was her biological father and he was interested in her. She wanted to get to know him, she had waited for this to happen all of her life.
"Wine," said David, smiling. "Good idea, Paul. Let's toast." David poured some of the wine into the vampire glasses, but Christina got more. "To our family," said David. "On Chrissy!"
When the glasses were emptied, he nodded to Paul and Laddie, and a few minutes later Christina was sitting in the back seat of Paul's motorcycle to pack a bag for a few days as discussed. She was curious to see how those days would go. She had said that she had to work, but David had advised her to just report sick.
Despite the tense situation Christina was in, she enjoyed riding the motorcycle. She wasn't sure if she should be happy that she was with her father or not. She would never have believed that vampires could exist. When her mother told her about David at the time, she hadn't taken the story seriously.
The trip was over too quickly for Christina's taste. Paul guessed her thoughts and smiled. "You will often have the opportunity," he comforted her. Christina took the house key from her pocket and immediately went to the door. Paul and Laddie were still with their motorcycles and Paul was about to offer Laddie a cigarette when he saw two characters approaching Christina.
He immediately hurried over to her and prevented the two men from reaching her. "Michael Emerson, what a nice surprise," he greeted Michael, grinning at Sam and Michael.
At the same time, Dwayne put the still sleeping Zoe on the stairs in front of her house. David was already waiting a few meters away. He woke Zoe up again and poked the memory of Laddie and Dwayne's visit out of her thoughts. David had no use for this woman anymore!
