Natalia

Chapter 15 - And The Valentine

"And this is the bunker. Where most of the pack members stay in. Only the alpha and beta's family stays in the main mansion," Katarina tried to push the heavy metal door that leads them to the bunker but it seems that it won't budge. Natalia offers to help the werewolf. It only takes a little push from the vampire to move the door.

"Well, I must have removed the things that blocking it," Natalia smile.

"Sure," Natalia chuckle and let the vampire in.

"We have families living here. From the littlest to the oldest. We all live in harmony," Katarina smile at the older werewolves.

"Katarina," a wrinkled man stands up to greet the Alpha's daughter. 

"You brought a vampire in here?" Katarina gave him a sheepish smile.

"I'm showing her the packhouse. That's okay right?" The old man shows how disgusted he is. He even curses the newborn who dares to be at the sacred ground. But Natalia ignores every stare she received. Katarina decided to lead Natalia to the children's playroom before it gets even worse.

When the kids saw Katarina by the door, they ran towards her and wrapping their little hands around Katarina's legs. Natalia can see how close she is with the children. The vampire smile when the thoughts of seeing Katarina with her kids someday popping in her mind. 

She probably will be the best mother for her future kids. One of the kids stops dead in her tracks when she saw a vampire standing by the door.

"VAMPIRE!!" The kids started running around out of control. The carer was having some trouble controlling them. They tried to calm everyone down but they were too scared. Katarina stands in the middle of the room before she whistles to gain everyone's attention. 

"It's okay. She's my friend. She won't hurt you. She will protect you. Right, Natalia?" The vampire nod vigorously when Katarina glares at her. Natalia was surprised to see how sharp her glares can be.

"Calm down," The kids listened to the future alpha.

"Come," Katarina lead Natalia towards another room but this room was different than any of the rooms she went to before. It's bigger and has a lot of tables and chairs by the corner.

"This is the gym/cafeteria/hall. This is where everyone gathers every day. Oh! And also for weddings, birthdays, party, you name it," The vampire notice a few occupants glares at her when she steps foot inside the room.

"Katarina!" A male voice shouted. Both Katarina and the vampire turns around.

"Yes, Logan?" The brown hair guy forcefully pulled Katarina by the arm and glares into Katarina's soul.

"Why on earth you bringing a disgusting vampire inside our bunker?!" He was hardly whispering since the vampire could hear him. Katarina tried to free herself from his grip.

"What is wrong with you! She's a friend, not an enemy!" Katarina can't get him to loosen the grip.

"You know what happened to my parents! They were killed by them. How can you be such an inconsiderate creature like this?!" 

"Logan! You're hurting me!" Katarina said when she felt the grip getting tighter.

"Logan, stop!" Katarina raised her voice a little. The vampire noticed something was not right with the two werewolves.

" You're hurting her," Natalia said. When Logan turns his attention to the vampire, she could see his rage built up.

"Shut up, bloodsucker!" Katarina was struggling under his grip.

"RELEASE HER!" The vampire hissed. Logan released Katarina and poke on the vampire’s chest with his finger.

"What will you do about that, bloodsucker?" He poked again.

"Fight me? I don't think you can because you're just a newborn," Once again he pokes on her chest but this time it made the vampire fell on the gym mat. Logan scoffs and kneels in between her body. His fist made contact with her face. Logan feels the adrenaline rush flows inside him while he keeps throwing punches at the vampire. 

Katarina looks around but the others just laugh while they enjoying the show. German was walking into the bunker when he heard the commotion. He ran towards her sister. 

"What happened?" German asked. 

"Stop him!" German saw the vampire are under attack. He tried to pull Logan away from Natalia before it’s too late. Logan was having fun punching the vampire who didn't fight back.

"Katarina is mine!" He screams. The vampire tried to cover herself with her hands but Logan manages to grabs it. 

"Your kind killed my parents! And now I'm going to kill you," The gym mat now covered in blood. German asked anyone for help but none of them wants to help a vampire.

Katarina is worried since Natalia just got better from the poison, she might get weaker. She was about to get her father when she saw Logan flew to the other side of the room. 

"You dog," Satan straighten his suit before looking at Natalia who covered in blood. Everyone in the room moves away from the ruler of the underworld. Logan shakes his head before standing up and face the creature who threw him across the room. He was shocked to see it's the devil.

"Anything to say dog?" He asked.

Logan looks down and takes a few steps back. Katarina and German went to the vampire’s side to see if she is okay. Katarina tore off a little piece of her shirt to wipe the blood from her mouth. Natalia hardly can see anything with her swollen eyes. But she knows that rotten smell anywhere. She wonders why did the devil himself is here.

"How dare you hurt her like that!" Satan defending the vampire.

"Father!" Satan turns to his son who finally decided to waltz in.

"What happened here!" Duncan's voice booming. 

"Do punish that boy who hurt my slave. If you don't, I'll do it myself," Videric can't believe what his father just said.

"Father we've talked about this!" Satan laughs.

"What? She is my slave. You need to train her well, Videric. He can't even defeat a weak werewolf like him," Satan turns to Natalia who's beginning to heal. 

"Get yourself heal. You're going to kill the fourth person in front of me. Get to your feet and follow me. No one must come," Satan warns everyone. Katarina helps the vampire up to her feet and watches her go.

"I'll fetch you up when she is ready," Satan said before shoving the vampire into a portal. When she opens her eyes, she's at the packhouse, laying on the grass in front of the front entrance to the main mansion. She feels a slight headache but tried to get up. She sits cross-legged and looks down on her knees. What she saw earlier, made her chill to the bones.

"How was your trip?" That voice. She looks up to see Katarina bending down, showing her how remarkable her breasts are. Katarina follows the direction of the vampire’s eyes and quickly covers her chest. 

"Pervert," She chuckles and sat down next to Natalia.

"Why are you sitting here? Afraid of entering the mansion?" The vampire shakes her head.

"The things I saw when Satan brought me to my next victim. It's horrendous. It's seriously messed up," Katarina wraps her arms around her shoulder.

"You can tell me. I'm here to listen," 

"My next kill, Quinn Pioneer. She's a witch who practices dark arts. She used to be Satan's right-hand man but she betrays him to work for a guy named Basran. That woman did pretty messed up things. He cuts a body to 14 even pieces and cooks it for her guest,"  Katarina gags. 

"That's not the bad part yet," 

"What's the bad the part?" Katarina is afraid to ask. 

"She sacrificed creatures and kidnapping humans for gaining more power to herself. That's why Satan what's me to kill her. And also he mentioned that she will make me stronger than before when I'm done," Katarina turns to the vampire.

"You're going to kill her? How? From what I heard she probably will kill you first," Katarina being a worrywart.

"I have no idea. I can't think of anything," Natalia sighs. Katarina chuckle.

"Let's think about other things. It's valentines days," the vampire sighs even harder.

"This matter to me because?" Katarina chuckle.

"Let's talk about our love life," Natalia laughs.

"I don't know. I don't have one. How about you tell me something about yours?" Katarina thinks for a minute and released her arms from Natalia’s shoulder. 

"I was engaged to Logan before. But it didn't work out but then I found my ex-wife. Also didn't work out and I'm single since," Natalia can sense that she's lying. Katarina sighs.

"Fine. I have a couple more suitors but I don't like them but they like me," 

"Is it really important for werewolves to have a mate?" Katarina chuckle.

"It's important for every creature. Don't you realize it? Before you meet someone so dear to you, you're all alone. No friends. You live in an isolated place with only your family. In school, you tried to avoid everyone. Trust me, when you find the one, you'll feel like you're the happiest creature in the world," 

"How do you know that person is the one?" Natalia asked. 

"When a werewolf comes across their mate they can sense it. They feel an inexplicable urge to be near the individual. Something is compelling about the individual. They want to know everything about him or her," Katarina explained. 

"Is it the same for vampires?" The vampire asked. By now Katarina was lost at words. She has no idea how to explains it to her about this mating stuff.

"Uhhhhh... Ummm... maybe?" Natalia was expecting a more convincing answer.

"Look, we're creatures. We all have the same nature. Mates. You'll know when you find them," 

"What are you two doing?" They both turn to see Duncan standing in front of the entrance with his hands on his waist. His orbs were blazing with anger, watching his daughter together with the disgusting vampire.

"Who gave you the right to sit next to my daughter like that?" Natalia abruptly stands up and takes a few steps away from Katarina. She looks up to the alpha with... fear.

"I'm sor-ry," She stutters. The alpha went down the stairs and grabs his daughter by the wrist. He drags her towards the mansion and shuts the door from the vampire.

"Have you lost your mind?! You're the next in line to replace me! You're going to flirt with a vampire?!" 

"Dad I can feel something different when I'm with her. Please understand!" Duncan let out a loud and scary growl. Katarina cowers in fear.

"You listen to me, young lady! Either you get me a proper in law or I'll let your brother replace your rightful place!" Duncan storms towards his office. 

"Why do you hate my kind?" Videric asked when he suddenly appears out of the dark corners.

"Because your kind makes my family suffers for years to come." Videric follows the alpha towards his office.

"Then why didn't you kill me like the way you want to kill my newborn?" Duncan turns around and faces the king with rage.

"Because unlike your kind I remembered how you save my wife. I can't kill you for that. I promised my wife," Videric laughs.

"That is one valid reason. But I do have a question for your alpha. Who are you to judge the goddess if she wants my newborn and your daughter together as mates?" 

"My daughter can reject her if I ask her to. I need an heir," Videric was confused.

"Why do you let her marry a woman before?" Duncan chokes at his own words.

"She was an exception," Videric sense something.

"Are you saying she has the equipment to produce an heir for you?" Duncan removes his eye contact before sitting down on his armchair. 

"Where does this conversation lead to? My daughter's s*x life?" Duncan asked. Videric smile.

"All I'm saying I have a way to let you have an heir which is from your flesh and blood. Remember this and listen to me, once you made Selene the moon goddess mad, no one can save you. Even me," 

Videric turns to the door and leaves Duncan to think about the consequences himself.

"Damn it," Natalia clicks her tongue in annoyance before following the witch to a secluded area.

The vampire observes the dark alley and tried to find the witch. She didn't notice that she was being watched by the witch herself. The witch smile from ear to ear before jumping off the walls and wraps her arms around the vampire’s neck from behind. She reaches for her wand before place the tip on her neck. 

"Slight move and you're dead," Quinn whispers before pushing the tip of her wand on the vampire’s flesh. Natalia stops struggling as she raises both hands, surrendering.

"Why are you following me? Who are you?" The witch asked. She tighten her grip when Natalia didn't answer her question. 

"ANSWER ME!" The witch screams. Natalia didn't say anything. She remembered what Videric had said before. Whatever she does, never say anything to the witch. The witch chuckles and pushes the vampire away from her.

"You're good. No one ever keeps their mouth shut as you did. I am impressed," The witch keeps her wand away with a smile.

"Who send you?" She asked and grabs something that was strapped around her waist.

"None of your concern," Natalia was getting herself ready for any type of weapon the witch might prepare for her. Quinn pulls out her swords and played with it while walking towards the vampire.

"I smell sulfur all over you. Satan henchman?" Quinn shows her award-winning smile and aims both of the sharp blades on Natalia's neck.

"You're so loyal to him. Why do you even stay loyal to a creature who torture others?" Quinn used her blade to wound the vampire’s neck. Natalia didn’t react even though it hurts her to the point where she might lose consciousness. She knows that if she shows any kind of weakness, she'll be doom.

"You're different. I like that," Quinn released her swords and let it fall on the ground.

"What do you want?" 

"Your head on my king's altar," Natalia smile. Quinn laughs and places her hands on the vampire’s shoulder. The witch looks into Natalia's orbs with a smile.

"Catch me if you can,” Quinn whispers before licking Natalia's nose. She disappears into thin air in front of the vampire. She didn't get to process what just happened when she felt a hand made contact on her cheek.  

That little feeling she had soon turn to agonizing pain when her body hit the walls and plummeted to the ground. She feels every bit of her bones shattered into millions of pieces as her body hit the ground.

"You let her escape!" She knew that voice. The same voice that came from hell itself. Natalia tried to turn around but she lost every sense of movement in her body. Satan used his foot to turn his slave around and steps on her chest while looking down at her.

"What do you have to say newborn?" He asked while shooting dagger with his eyes.

"I.... know..." Natalia tried to move her hands.

"Her... hideout..." Satan removes his foot and bends down to get the little fabric she had in her grasp. When Natalia manages to move her fingers, she tried to move the other parts of her body. She got up to a sitting position, flinches as her sore muscles being a b***h.

"You can ask the hell hounds to search for her and I'll do all the killing," Satan's straightens his back and offers his hand to help her up. 

"Hmmm," Natalia stretch herself out.

"Follow me," Natalia follows him and wonder where he's taking her now. She doesn't know what happens next but when she went inside a building, it leads them to an open field of green. Natalia didn't dare to ask so she just follows the man like a dog. 

The last thing she heard was a loud clap and a very strong gush of wind hitting her face that forcing her covering her eyes with her hands. When she feels nothing, she slowly looks up from her hand and just like that, an old building suddenly appears out of nowhere. 

"Welcome to Celestial Sanatorium," Natalia looks around the luxurious exterior.

"Don't be fool by the name. It's a haven for criminally insane creatures who only could think about killing everyone," 

"But that's what sanatorium meant," Natalia states the fact and made Satan mad. Natalia apologizes and follows the devil around. Natalia doesn't know why she's here.

"Well. It is Valentine's Day. Pick anyone you like and have some fun. They will never say no. I can guarantee you that," Satan smile and whistles. A group of half-naked girls walks out of the building to greets them both. 

"They also can dance..." Satan moves swiftly to one of the girls behind and sniffs every inch of her neck.

"They’re all submissive... passive if you want them to be," Some of them giggles and winks at the vampire. The girls start to shake their hips for Satan and making Natalia feels something she never felt before. 

"Vampires... werewolves... sirens... even banshee.." Satan licks a brunette’s breasts.

"They all here for you. Well if you can take them all, they will be glad to be there. Girls.." Satan motions for them to surround the vampire with their perfect shaped breasts. Some of the girls decided to kneel just to rubs Natlia’s thigh. 

Natalia let out a moan and it surprised her She never moan before. The girls smile knowing they trigger something inside the newborn. They rub, they kiss the newborn, and they even lick every part of the vampire’s upper body. 

One of them placed Natalia's hand on their curvy body and moan into her ear. Satan shows everyone his eerie grin and asked them to drag Natalia into the building. When he saw the doors close, he turns around to the open field.

"That's nice of you to make her day better," Marcia said behind the devil.

"Her life sucks before and now that she's dead her life doesn’t change at all. I like to feed on her misery as much as I want though," Marcia wraps her arms around Satan's waist from behind.

"Orlia gave birth to a succubus. She named her Fellia. You have a new kid," Satan sighs.

"How many more kids I'll have in the future? None of them be as great at Rose nor Videric," Marcia chuckle.

"Did you just said that Videric is a great son?" Satan scoffs.

"He's the only one who listens to me. And Rose doesn't care," Marcia releases the devil to face him. 

"Are you trying to make the newborn as great as those two? This is so not you. What changes you?" Marcia asked.

"Nothing's changed. All I'm doing is for my gain. She has the skill to get me the best souls available," 

"Are you going to let her together with that werewolves?" She asked. Satan ignores the question as he grabs Marcia by the neck.

"Let's go back to hell and meet my new kid huh," Marcia obliged when Satan drag her by the neck towards a portal. She knows that is his way to shows her his 'love'.
