Double Lust

Chapter Twenty

Kyle P.O.V

It seems like no matter how many times I'm expecting her to open those eyes and look at me and she doesn't, I die, over and over again. The tears won't stop and my sobbing won't diminish.

Stone is searching to find something that can help us but he comes back empty handed and piece by piece I lose hope everyday of seeing those grey eyes.

Three days, three days since she closed her eyes, three days since i heard her voice, three days since I heard hear heartbeat and three days since having her blood on my hands.

We've cleaned the blood and groomed her for the proper burial of a vampire queen but I can't seem to let go because I still have hope that she's gonna wake up.

The opening of the door the door brought me out of my miserable thoughts. Looking up I'm greeted by the exhausted and devastated Stone with unshed tears who seems to be barely holding up that me who can't hold up at all.

"They found out what it was that Grace injected into Anna's bloodstream." he said

"Its a herbaceous flowering plant, highly poisonous. People use it as a kind of medicine combined with other herbs but just grinding it into a liquid can be used as a deadly poison. The greeks used it as a way of death for thieves and murderers. It works by shutting down the respiratory system completely causing suffocation which leads to death" he explained.

"That still doesn't explain why it's so poisonous to us vampires." I indicated.

"Let me finish" he snapped back

The tears that were welling up in his eyes told me what was coming wasn't good.

"Who died in December 1476?" he asked

"Vlad III" I answered

"Also known as what?" he asked again

"Dracula the Impaler" I answered after a second

"Correct. How did he die?" he countered

"He was ambushed while travelling" I said

"That was the cover to stop the suspicion and curiosity of the humans. Vlad III died by being stabbed by a sword. It was coated in a black stick liquid that caused Vlad to die in a matter of minutes." he explained

"He jumped to protect his wife who was protecting their last child behind her." I muttered remembering the history books I've read.

"Being a vampire he thought a sword would have done little to no damage by his veins started turning black and he started suffocating later on dying next his wife. She couldn't touch him because of what he was stabbed with. It burned her skin and left a mark. Guess what was on the sword?" Stone finished

"Conium Maculatum" I answered putting the pieces together.

"She's not coming back, is she?" I asked Stone after minutes of silence

Looking up I can see he's no longer holding in his tears which gives me my answer.

"Something doesn't add. If this poison is poisonous to even vampires how was Grace able to carry it in her mouth all the way to Dean's territory, back to ours, have her neck snapped and still keep it there? Why when I touched her or anyone else for that matter nothing happened? Why hasn't she started decaying?" I asked

I can see the wheels turning in his head and I'm starting think as well. Nothing happened to us when we touched her nor did anything happen to Grace when she stored it in her mouth. Our powers allow us to read the minds of others and Grace can only grow plants every half century but Anna was human.

Dean said Anna's blood heals diseases which means if she was turned her powers would have something to do with blood but where is the connection in this?

What was Vlad III power?

Teleportation? Blockage? Manipulation? Telekenisis? No those aren't it. Think Kyle. Think.

What did the books say?

Name: Vlad the Impaler

D.O.B: 1431

D.O.D: 1476

Beloved: Justina Szilagyi

Children: Mihnea, Vlad IV, Zaleska, Radu, Mihail

Wielder: Blood User

I immediately sprang out of the chair I was sitting on and took off through the door and down to the cellars.

I could hear Stone behind me but better things are at hand.

Reaching to the last door I kicked it open enjoying the fear I smelt but disgusted by the lust that followed after. Stopping right in front of the person who is causing my misery I grabbed her by the throat and made her look me in the eye.

"I am going to ask you this once and this is not like the last time when you got three chances to answer. You conjured up the plant to make the elixir didn't you Grace?"

"Yes" she wheezed out

"You were the one who gave it to Elaine, who later on gave it Tasha just for her to give it right back to you?"

"Yes" she said

"Tasha is using her manipulating powers on them isn't she?" I asked

"Yes" she answered

"That plant has being extinct since 1473. The only was to know about it is if you were there. So, when were you born?"

She's shocked, I know she is. The last of that plant was used to kill Dracula. She's the only one I know with the power to grow plats. It may seem harmless but if you were born in those times when the vampire population was being hunted it serves a purpose for her at 2 times.

Not hearing an answer I tighten my already tight grip on her neck

"1446" she quickly rushed out

The pieces are fitting together.

"You were the vampire who betrayed Vlad III by giving out his location." I stated watching as the color drained from her face.

"But you were no vampire at all. Nothing but a familiar. My guess is you fell in love with one of Vlad's children but it was forbidden by Vlad III. So to get rid of your block point you sold him out to the human enemies he earned but in the end you were banished after Vlad III died because I know each and every one of them found their beloved" I said

She just watched me with wide eyes and mouth ajar because my guest was correct.

"Oh but that's not all. You said the poison killed vampires but you carried all the way here and when I touched Anna nothing happened which got me thinking, Elaine knew about the capabilities of Anna's blood and she was spotted with Tasha not too long ago. Meaning Tasha figured out what kind of wielder Anna was gonna be if she was turned" I said

"Which means if Grace is working with Tasha she figured out her weakness as well" Stone voiced

"And if Vlad III was a blood user and it killed him while his wife couldn't even touch him that means his wife was a blood user as well" I continued

"Which means......"Stone stared

"Anna was gonna be a blood user" I finished
