WE AREN'T FAMILY

~KATHERINE P.O.V~

The sudden clap of thunder caught my attention outside where there was lightning being shown in the dark sky just surrounding the forest. Looking around there was no sign of the siblings curious as to where they were, I decided to check to see what's going on outside. "Madam, where are you going?"

"Outside," I told one of the staff who for some unknown reason was frightened.

"I don't think it's a good idea," She grabs my arm trying to make me stay but it just widens my curiosity about what's going on.

I closed my eyes for a brief second then looked at the girl sternly causing her to slowly pull away from her hands. "Something is happening isn't it? I can handle myself and just relax." I raised my eyebrows waiting for an answer, she didn't say a word but mouth a soft sorry then proceeded to head back to the ballroom.

That's what I thought. Before leaving I went to the storeroom to grab the silver sword I haven't used in a while then proceeded to head out. I wonder how long it's been since I've last held this sword?

~VINCENZO P.O.V~

I had enough of this game of his, he knows she's here, it's simple of how he can feel the aura even if she is miles away. But the question is why has he not struck? What is he waiting on or who is he waiting on?

Scanning through the trees, there was no sign of anyone or a speck of scent that someone is close by waiting on his signal. Of all the years being alive while staying undercover, he chose to relieve himself now when Kath's memories are slowly coming together.

"You know I'm a bit disappointed in my kids," He revealed while resting the ax he was casually holding on the chair behind him then proceeded to crack his knuckles. I realized each time he moves, he swiftly turns his eyes looking for something behind us without us suddenly catching on.

"Disappointed?" I scoff

"We didn't ever care about your feelings and we won't give a shit today. Probably won't give a fuck tomorrow."

Our father judging by his cold stare he didn't like how bold I'm getting, now that I think about it. He doesn't deserve that title, he once did but now time has changed along with his true intentions. It's sickening, smelling his presence in-front of me.

"My children are behaving ungrateful. No one ever thanks me for having the patience all this time in not killing them, even my own people." He chuckled, moving closer towards us.

Smirking I folded my arms nodding towards Vincent who sensed what I'm up to.

"I think we should be the one that's disappointed. After all, a fallen King is not welcome here," Vance snapped.

I along with Vincent swiftly jumped above his head catching him off guard pinning him on the ground. "Hahaha checkmate". He widely grins. Looking around I noticed we were surrounded.

"Shit!" But now I question myself, confused, they weren't there before.

"Finally it's playtime," Valentina attacks the group to the right, not wasting any time.

"Brother up ahead," I quickly grabbed an old guy by his neck before he could attack then snap it, tossing the lifeless body to the side. Vin was guiding my back, having me still pinning down our father with my lower body. I took out my silver guns which I always carry then pointed both hands to the right and left side shooting the Vamps right in their hearts.

"Go and help Val, I got this." I shouted at Vin who was gone in the blink of an eye.

Without paying attention I was kicked in the stomach bringing me to crash in the tree by the strong impact.

"Now it's my turn," This bastard got up off the ground running towards me with the ax in his hands. I quickly move out the way avoiding the swings he's throwing. He has gotten faster by the minute which was a problem at first, cause I couldn't keep up but quickly adjusted.

Jumping on the highest tree branch I could find. I noticed something was off with how our father was moving his movements were...….. I was cut off by someone coming towards us but who.

"Now I've got you," He swings the ax close to my face. I wasn't afraid of death, the only thing I'm afraid of is that if I die, I'm breaking my promise.

"Sorry but this is a checkmate." I smirk, pointing the gun straight at his heart killing him. A little blood was caught on my face but I've seen the worst. Jumping off the branch, I saw Val coming back looking messed up with her hair in different directions, blood on her outfit with a head in her hand smiling proudly.

"Don't question why," She walks past me. Vance came back with a slash on his arm but was fine. Vampires heals quickly. Vincent on the other hand was nowhere in sight. Sighing I was about to sit on the ground to rest for a little bit when my head jerked up seeing someone rushing over.

"The person you were fighting with was just a puppet," Vin rushed over with a dead body tossing it to the side.

"I realized the moment the movements became sloppy. Our father is too smart to come in person, he rather sent a puppet to do his job." I spit out blood as the impact from the tree came kicking in.

I watch as he squats down showing me a small knife having a cross on it. I took it then put it in my pocket knowing exactly what that means.

"I hate asking my mate for help, you know." I told him

"She's the only one who can pinpoint where that bastard is hiding," He helps me up. "So my curiosity was right after all," We both looked at Kath who was walking towards us with her sword.

"Look who's late for the bloody party." Vance tease her

~VINCENT P.O.V~

After that unexpected meeting in the forest, we alert the people to stay in and to cancel hunting this time around. Father is planning on killing them one by one during the hunting process, having already stored enough blood they would have no problem.

"You weren't supposed to be out," I told Kath as she entered the room.

"You think I would sit back and watch plus it was a very long walk to get there cause I'm no longer a vampire so I missed the fight. No harm done," She placed the sword back in the storage room.

Running my hand through my hair. I sighed knowing she's stubborn as always. The loud sound of thunder was heard throughout the place. Vincenzo is heading back to Russia tomorrow to speak with his mate about the knife I've found on the puppeteer.

Our father wants to control everyone around him. He loves being in control to persuade the person in doing his bids that what causes him to run out of hand.

~THE FATHER P.O.V~

Above the clouds on the mountain looking down as these pesky humans beg for mercy is music to my ears. "Sir, we underestimate them. Each man has been slaughtered," I fanned off my servant once he told me the results of the fight.

"That was just a test run," Those kids of mine are smart so they will figure it out in seconds and what I've in store.

"Kill. Kill them all!!" I shouted looking down as these creatures' blood was a spill on the ground. I will bring back the times when humans were no more, starting with that Queen.

I smashed my fist on the desk looking ahead where Royal Woods was.
