Unknown Prey 344 344 I Wanted to Save You

Leo smiled, "this is really good but also a bit strange. I will have too many vampires staying at my residence. Anyways that is not the favor that I want for you guys. Stella, you and Luke are getting close now to be considered as friends. I want you to bring my son and daughter to Michelle and Riccardo when Kitty is working sometime today or tomorrow. You will find out when you go to them. Both of them know that you will be coming. I will ask Cindy to bring Tiana. There is something that I am planning and I do not want it said out loud until the timing is right. Ketan you are also going to need to see them but you can go at night time."

"D-do I have to?"Ketan looks at Leo in dismay before letting out a sigh. "Fine... I will do as you ask but I will not like it one bit." He scowled in disapproval.

Leo gave him an are you being serious look? And then saw that he gave in. "What is so bad about Michelle?"

"That guy knows how to push my buttons and I fall for it every time. I don't care for dealing with him but he is a clan member that is not under my direct command at the moment." Ketan sighs one again.

Stella looks at him confused, "What do you mean by him? Michelle looks like a female." She was standing next to Peter. 

Peter was so happy to be next to his creator that he wrapped his arm around her waist to show that he was somewhat possessive of the girl. "I can't comment on this as I have not seen this individual before." 

"Michelle is definitely a guy. Although he acts like a female you can see the hint of masculinity." Leo sided with Ketan, "besides what does Ketan gain by telling us this lie?" 

"Absolutely nothing, besides his voice is so deep that it sends chills up my spine because he looks like a chick. Although I get why he does it and I will let him tell you guys the story as it is not right for me to say anything." Ketan looked up at the sky thinking about the past and hearing the story and witnessing what Michelle went through.

Leo looked at Ketan and patted him on the shoulder, "No one will force you to tell the story. I think what you told us is enough for now. I am happy that you told us what you could and I do believe that personal stories should be told by the individual and not by a third party. That is how things get misinterpreted. I am glad that I know that my initial guess is correct though."

Stella looked at Leo and then at Ketan, "Thank you… both of you. Honestly, there is a lot that happened to me and I was not proud of what happened but it is what it is and there is nothing that can be changed. So we will live in the present and remember our pasts. We will move forward and not forget what has happened." She leaned her head on Peter's shoulder and relaxed in his slight embrace. 

"Well said, Stella. Peter, since you are coming to stay with us. I want you to know that there are going to be a lot of humans living there but there are also supernaturals. I know that you are used to vampires but there are more than just that. Everyone is settling in and we are a family now. If you think that hearing the heartbeats would be too much I could lock you up in the dungeon so that you do not accidentally harm one of my family or people." Leo looked at Peter.

Peter hesitated for a moment and thought about what to do. 'Under normal circumstances, I would be able to hold in my thirst but will I be able to do that right now? If I have Stella with me at all times I would be able to but if I accidently attack someone that I am not supposed to then I would be upset with myself and I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. It sounds like there are some young ones on the property.' He gulped.

Stella watched his facial expression and saw that he was deep in thought. "I have a suggestion." She looked at all those that were standing at the site that Peter was left. "There is another way to keep him from attacking anyone."

"Genevieve, are you sure about that? This is not exactly the way to choose a partner." Ketan looked at her and saw the resolve in her eyes. 

"I am sure. From the moment I turned him I was already infatuated but I didn't want to tie down a newly turned vampire and I was also monitored so that I couldn't make a partner for myself." Stella looked at Peter. 

Peter was shocked and looked over at her, "Are you suggesting what I think you are suggesting?" A smile grew on his face as he looked down at her. 

"I think that is a lovely idea and if the two of you are willing then I do not see anything wrong with this." Leo smiled while looking at the two. 

"Thank you. Peter, I fell in love with you when you were a human. I treated you differently and I gave you the choice to become a vampire. Did you not think that it was odd that I gave you a choice? I didn't want to be separated from you but also I didn't want anyone else to turn you. Only my venom was allowed to do that." Stella turned and looked him in the eyes. 

"Genevieve, when I was still human I thought you were stunning and as I got to know you over the week that you let me stay human I realized that you were being forced to do something that you did not want to do. I seriously wanted to help bear the burden but it was not meant to be. I chose to let you turn me so that I could help you out. When you first bit my skin I was in ecstasy. When I tasted your blood afterward I was in sheer bliss. I did the change and when I finally completed you let me drink your blood again. I was a daywalker from that point on but that was the only ability you passed on to me. I watched you closely and saw you suffer silently. I wanted to be the one that saved you but I was unable to do that." Peter looked at the two standing here. "These two were the ones that freed you from your cursed lifestyle."
