				For Hundreds of years...Humans and Vampires have been at war with one another...<br><br>Fighting for power...for legacy...and the right to rule. <br><br>Much blood had been shed between the two species. Hundreds of years have passed and the war raged onward. That was until the death of the Human King's eldest son was killed in the crossfire by one of their own soldiers. He saw that this war needed to come to an end. That the bloodshed had to stop. <br><br>So...he proposed a deal to the Vampire Lord. Suggesting that they unite their two houses with marriage. Saying that he would give his youngest and most beautiful daughter to the son of his choosing. Once the two were married...they would sign a peace treaty stating that no more blood would be shed between the two Kingdoms. The Vampire Lord had agreed to his terms. Now...the only thing left to do was inform their children of the bargain the two of them had made. King Stephan knew that breaking this news to his daughter would be shocking...but, it was for the good of the Kingdom. <br><br>Stephan walked down the halls of their manor. Accompanied by two guards until he reached his daughters bed chambers. Reaching up and knocking on her door. <br><br>"Come in..." a soft and sweet voice said from behind the door.<br><br>Reyna looked up as her bedroom door opened, a little shocked to see her Father there with two guards present. Noting the serious and almost somber expression on his face. "Father...what is it? What's happened?" She asked, standing from the padded leather seat in front of her Vanity. Looking nervously at the guards. Her Father turned to them, waving them out of the room. Shutting the door behind them and leaving her and her Father alone. He walked towards her bed and sat down, gesturing for her to come and join him. <br><br>Reyna walked over to him slowly before sitting down beside her father on the bed. Looking up at him with a frightened expression. Worried that he had come with more bad news. "Father...please...tell me what's going on..." she said, her heart beating rapidly inside of her chest. <br><br>"Nothing to fear child..." Stephan said as he gently pat his daughter's shoulder before looking into her bright blue eyes. "Lord LaCroix and I have drawn up a peace treaty with one another. The war between Vampires and Humans is over..." he said to her. <br><br>"Oh...Father that is fantastic news!" Reyna said as she reached out to hug her father tightly. Though...he did not return the embrace, causing her to pull back and look at him. <br><br>"Yes...it is good news, but...this treaty comes with a price..." he said and stood from the bed and walked over to look out the window towards the setting sun. "In order for us to make peace with the Vampires...you must wed Lord LaCroix's son..." he said, turning to look at his daughter who was staring at him in absolute horror. Her eyes wide and her lips parted in shock. <br><br>"No...please Father, you can't be serious! I will not be married off to some blood sucking demon!" She said, shaking her head in disbelief.<br><br>"We have no choice! Do you wish to see more of your family slaughtered?! To see more innocent blood shed?!" he asked, walking towards her until he was standing above her, his eyes blazing. "You will marry Lord LaCroix's son...and you will help put an end to this war. You wed him tomorrow night..." He said, turning and walking away from her. Leaving her sitting there in stunned silence. Tears starting to stream down her face. She couldn't believe what was happening. Her Father had sold her to the Devil. And there was nothing that she could do to stop it. Whether she liked it or not...tomorrow she would become a Vampires Bride...

				As Sebastian walked down the street with a swagger and almost arrogance about him, he watched as people walked passed him. People of various ages, some younger, some middle aged, some old and smiled with a shake of his head, all of them clueless to the war going on around them in the darkness. Oh he wasn't talking about Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and all the other petty wars the Humans kept getting themselves involved in but the big one between Humanity and his kind, the Vampires.<br><br>The war between the two had been going on for centuries now, since long before the Crusades, the Knights Templar and all of that jazz. Both sides fighting for power, legacy, dominion...the right to rule and blah, blah, blah. He never really was one for history, nor was he one for the war if he was being honest.<br><br>Humans killed Vampires, Vampires killed Humans that was the way of things, both in real life and in the movies it was the way of the world. Just as Humans killed other Humans and Vampires killed other Vampires, life is life, death is death and the world keeps turning regardless.<br><br>It took him another several minutes of walking before he reached his destination and looked up at the glowing sign above the building <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i1332.photobucket.com/albums/w603/Xeris87/The-Sanctuary-Glasgow-clubbing_zpshgpzwoty.jpg)</div></div> and smiled. It had taken him a few years to get the bar up and running, not to mention several bribes to certain political figures in both the Human and Supernatural world to get it done, but he had. Getting the permission from the Human's was easy, follow the right channels for the most part and bribe anybody else. It was getting the magical barriers put on the place to stop both races from killing each other from the Supernatural side that had been difficult to do, but he had.<br><br>He'd named his club Sanctuary because that's exactly what it was, a place that welcomed both Vampires and Humans. Oh sure he could have had a Vampire only club but it wouldn't have been half as successful and what club owner didn't want to be successful? <br><br>Although to say that he had done it out of the goodness of his still beating heart would be an exaggeration, no he did it because he liked to have fun. Be it with Humans or Vampires, what better way to do that and be rich too than to own one of the hottest clubs in town? Besides his father had always told him about how one day he'd be leading the Vampire army against the Humans and each Vampire Lord would need to have a power base and in today's modern world a nightclub was the perfect venue.<br><br>"Good Evening, Mr LaCroix." Mike the bouncer greeted him with a smile. Mike was a muscular black dude with biceps bigger than Sebastian's head and he'd seen the Human take on and throw out more than one Vampire over the years, which was impressive.<br><br>"Mike, how's things looking this evening?" <br><br>"Great boss, we've got a pretty packed house." <br><br>"That's what I like to hear." he smiled as he patted the big guy on his shoulder and stepped inside, the <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header"> Music</div><div class="spoiler_body">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoUCyrg5Syo</div></div> blaring through the air the second you stepped inside.<br><br>As he made his way through the throngs of people, he passed several beautiful women, both Human and Vampire who checked him out and smiled as he spun around to watch them and licking his lips, his tongue flicking over the sharp points of his fangs.<br><br>Making his way over to the bar he smiled at the bartender. <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header"> Maze</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i1332.photobucket.com/albums/w603/Xeris87/1454181153958_zpsxzjguwbz.jpg)</div></div> Mazikeen was his best friend and his bodyguard, both beautiful and deadly in equal measure, not to mention loyal to the core. She also made a mean margarita or so he'd been told.<br><br>"Evening Sebastian." She smiled as she served a Vampire a few seats down from him.<br><br>"Hello Maze, how's things? Any trouble?" He asked.<br><br>"Not with the patrons, things have been quiet." The beautiful Vampire told him as she walked over and leaned her arms on the bar, looking at him with a serious expression on her face.<br><br>"Why do you look like you're about to tell me something I'm not going to like?" He asked "You know I don't like bad news Maze."<br><br>"Your father is here to see you." she told him.<br><br>Sebastian paused for a moment, then another moment before sighing "Yeah I knew it. What does he want?"<br><br>Maze shrugged "I have no idea, he's waiting for you in your office."<br><br>Sebastian nodded "Thanks Maze, I'll see you later."<br><br>Walking off, he made his way down the bar and through a door at the back, which lead to an elevator. Whatever his father wanted it wasn't going to be good. He hated Sanctuary and never visited it unless it was absolutely necessary. He could still hear the music playing even as the elevator took him higher in the building, eventually opening on the floor of his office.<br><br>Heading down the hall he opened the door, seeing the old man standing at the other end of the room, looking out the window. "Hello father." Sebastian said "What a surprise this is, to what do we owe this gracious visit?"<br><br>"Cut the crap Sebastian, I'm here on official business." His father, Lord Caleb LaCroix replied as he turned on his heel to face his child. <br><br>"Business huh? I didn't know you were interested in the clubbing scene." Sebastian replied with a smirk as he took a seat at his desk and kicked his feet up on it.<br><br>"Quiet boy!" Caleb ordered with a snarl, it was rare for anybody to talk back and be sarcastic to the Lord of all Vampires, usually that got you beheaded or tied to a stake and left out for the Sun. <br><br>"Alright, alright, jeez." Sebastian muttered.<br><br>"It's about the war." Caleb said, looking over at his son.<br><br>"Oh hell not the war again, you know I don't care about the stupid war. A bunch of old Humans and a bunch of old Vampires got pissy at each other, never learned to say I'm sorry and now we all kill each other, big whoop."&nbsp; He said, before noticing the very angry glare his father gave him and shut up "What about it?" He asked, this time more seriously.<br><br>"It needs to end." Caleb answered.<br><br>For a brief moment Sebastian was sure he had misheard his father "I'm sorry, did you just say it needs to end?" He asked in disbelief.<br><br>"Yes I did. We've been fighting for centuries and neither side is getting any closer to gaining an advantage, just brother and sister after brother and sister being killed. The Humans feel the same way, so I have made a deal with the King Astor that will bring about a truce between our two peoples."<br><br>"Well it's about fucking time." Sebastian muttered "Well good for you Dad."<br><br>Caleb allowed himself a smile before the seriousness returned, something that he noticed Sebastian notice, knowing that what he was about to tell his free spirited, rebellious son would anger him greatly.<br><br>Sebastian frowned when he saw the look on his father's face and felt a bad feeling coming "Why do I get the feeling you're not just here to tell me the good news?"<br><br>Caleb smiled "Because I'm not. You see the deal I put in place to end the war involves you."<br><br>Sebastian felt his eyes widen "What? How? If you think I'm going to be sacrificed and have my head cut off as a sign of your commitment you can go to hell." He replied, jumping the gun, even at 210 years old, he was still very much considered a childe by Vampire standards.<br><br>Caleb laughed "No, you're not going to be executed, I would not allow such a thing."<br><br>"Then what?" <br><br>"In order for the treaty to be completed and for our people to unify in some form of peace and order it was decided between King Astor and myself that you are to marry his daughter."<br><br>"What!?" Sebastian yelled "That's just as bad as being executed. No way, I may fuck or feed from the occasional Human but I'm sure as hell not marrying one!" He explained.<br><br>"Yes you will, you have no choice, it was the only way to end the war. Or do you want more of your siblings to die?"<br><br>"Well I...no obviously not, but I don't want to marry a Human either!"<br><br>"I'm sure you don't, but you will, for the good of our race." Caleb told him.<br><br>Sebastian sighed, there was no way he was going to be getting out of this one "So when is this marriage supposed to happen then? A month from now, two months?"<br><br>Caleb shook his head "No, you will wed her tomorrow night."<br><br>Sebastian bolted up from his chair "Tomorrow night! Are you fucking serious???" <br><br>Caleb nodded and watched as his son snarled then turned on his heel and stormed out of the room.<br><br>Maze had served several more drinks to both Humans and Vampires when she saw Sebastian storm past the side of the bar looking more than a little pissed. She knew whatever his father had wanted wouldn't be good news, but this looked so much worse.<br><br>Marching up to the bar, Sebastian dropped onto a stool and glared at Maze "Give me the strongest drink you have that will work on our kind." He growled.<br><br>Maze knew better than to argue with her friend and retrieved a bottle of red liquid, filled with gold flakes. It was blood with a magical herb that allowed Vampires to get drunk if they wanted, although the effects never lasted long unless you constantly drank it.<br><br>"He wants me to get married!" Sebastian told her after several gulps of the drink "You believe that?"<br><br>"What?"<br><br>"Yeah, to a Human of all things."<br><br>"A human?"<br><br>"Yep. Oh and not just any Human, but the daughter of the Human King, it just gets better doesn't it Maze?"<br><br>"Why?"<br><br>"To end the war apparently." Sebastian muttered as he took another large gulp from the drink.<br><br>"When is this marriage supposed to take place?" Maze asked.<br><br>"Tomorrow night."<br><br>"Seriously?"<br><br>Sebastian nodded "Yep." He said as he grabbed the bottle of booze and downed the whole thing in several gulps "Do me a favor Maze, stake me."<br><br>

				Reyna lay there on her bed, the tears she had shed now dry on her cheeks. Her soft blue eyes staring blankly out her open window to the rising sun. She had not had any sleep that night. Not after what her Father had told her. What he had told her of her fate. <br><br>She would be marrying a Vampire that night. She may as well have given her soul straight to Lucifer himself. <br><br>There was a soft tapping at her door, causing Reyna to stir from her trance like state. Sitting up in her bed and wiping at her eyes. Trying to make herself look presentable before whoever was knocking on her door came in. Once she was certain that she didn't look like a complete mess, she cleared her throat and spoke, "come in..." <br><br>The door to her bedroom opened slowly, and she felt a flood of relief wash over her when her Mother entered her room. She took one look at her daughter and ran to her side. Enveloping her in her arms and holding her tightly. Reyna let out another sob and began to cry into her Mother's shoulder. Her body shaking as she did so. "Shhh...it's alright my child...I'm here...I'm here..." her mother whispered to her as she gently stroked her hair. Trying desperately to calm Reyna down. After a few minutes of quiet sobbing, Reyna finally pulled herself away to look into her Mother's kind brown eyes. <br><br>"Mother...please...<em>please</em> don't let Father do this. Don't let him make me marry that...that monster..." she begged. Looking into her Mother's eyes and pleading with her without saying a word. <br><br>Her mother let out a sigh and placed her hand against Reyna's cheek and caressed it softly, "Reyna, my darling...there's nothing I can do. Your Father and King LaCroix have already made their decision. You are to marry Prince Sebastian tonight...and once the union between the two of you is sealed...this terrible war will be over with..." her Mother said to her. <br><br>Reyna closed her eyes and let out a small and defeated whimper before she pulled away from her Mother completely and wiped away the tears from her cheeks. <br><br>"You need to be strong now Reyna. You need to be the Princess that you were raised to be. Your Kingdom and your people need you...and one day you will be Queen...and you will help make this world a better place..." her Mother told her before giving her hand a squeeze. "Now...we need to get you ready. Everything has already been prepared..." she said before sliding off of the bed. "A bath is waiting for you...now...I will be back soon..." Her Mother said before kissing her forehead and leaving the room. <br><br>Reyna let out a sigh as she made her way towards her bathroom. Several servants there waiting for her. There was a nice hot bath waiting for her already. The water covered in red rose petals. Reyna removed her robes and slowly slipped into the bath. Relaxing as best as she could as she began to wash her body. Making sure every inch of her was clean before rising from the bath. The servants going to work on preparing her for the night of her wedding. <br><br>They made sure that every inch of her was waxed down until she was smooth almost everywhere. Her fingernails and toenails painted a deep red color. One servant did her hair while another did her makeup. Reyna was not even aware what time it was...or how much time had gone by. Everything felt like some sort of dream. That she'd wake up at any moment and realize that everything she'd been told...everything that was happening was just all part of a nightmare. Even though she knew that wasn't the case. That when sunset came...she would be the bride of a Vampire.<br><br>The finishing touches were put on her. Her blonde hair piled up on top of her head. A few strands hanging down and curling around her face. Her eyes lined with black, her lashes long and thick. Her lips a deep red color. Standing in front of a full length mirror...looking at herself in her wedding dress...<div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://picture-cdn.wheretoget.it/ue5g69-i.jpg)</div></div><br>"Oh...darling...you look beautiful..." the sound of her Mothers voice sounded behind her. <br><br>Reyna turned to look at her Mother but did not smile. Instead she turned back to look at her reflection. "I guess it should be fitting that I'm wearing a red dress instead of white to my wedding...given that it's to a vampire..." she said. "Though...I feel like I should be wearing black instead..."

				The first thing he felt as he sensed his conciousness returning to him was a dull throbbing, one which only intensified the more he started coming back to the world. "Ugh..." He groaned as he raised his hands to his head, pressing against his skull in an attempt to stop whatever was hammering away inside his head.<br><br>Cracking an eye open, he found himself laying on the floor in his office. His father wasn't there, but he could make out an outline of somebody.<br><br>"Good Morning." The unmistakable voice of Maze said.<br><br>"There is nothing good about it." Sebastian muttered as he covered his eyes, still unable to open them more than a crack. Taking a few moments, he tried it again and managed to open them enough to actually see, although he regretted it when the light shone in his eyes until Maze's face blocked it.<br><br>"I thought I told you to stake me." He muttered as he rolled over and pushed himself to his knee, before realising his body was in no mood to do that just that and instead folded himself into a ball "Nope, not yet." He muttered.<br><br>Maze chuckled and reached down to help pull him up before dragging him over to the couch he kept along the back wall and plopping him down on it. "You did. I didn't."<br><br>"I see that." Sebastian muttered as he leaned forward, burying his face in his hands "How much of that stuff did I drink?"<br><br>Maze smirked at him "Four bottles." Causing her friend to groan.<br><br>"And how much is that gonna set me back to replace it?" He asked.<br><br>"About 3000 dollars." She answered and chuckled when he groaned again in even more pain.<br><br>"It's not funny Maze." The young Vampire prince muttered as he pushed himself to his feet and started staggering towards the door, hearing Maze following behind him.<br><br>"It is from where I'm standing." She laughed.<br><br>As they entered the elevator, Sebastian collapsed back against the wall "This sucks. Marrying a Human, it's stupid." He muttered.<br><br>"It's for the good of our Kind Seb." Maze told him "You'll be the first Vampire Lord to rule over a non warring era in our history."<br><br>Sebastian shook his head as the elevator doors pinged open, wincing as the ping seemed to be a sharp spike driving through his brain. "How is me marrying a Human going to end the war? How?" He asked as he slowly walked toward the bar, unable to find the energy to walk around it, he decided instead to roll over it and reached down, grabbing the first blood pack he could find and popping his fangs, pierced the plastic and gulped down the vitae like he'd not drank in days before grabbing another one and doing the same to that, tossing both packs onto the counter top.<br><br>Letting out a sigh he opened his eyes, the blood helping his body purge the pain from his system. "I mean seriously Maze, do you really think that the second they announce us and man and wife everybody on both sides is just going to go "Oh well there you go, no more fighting for us! Come on." <br><br>Maze shook her head "Probably not, but it must do if both leaders order their people to do it."<br><br>Sebastian shook his head "You and I both know that's not true peace, both sides have to be willing to do so, not just be ordered into it, otherwise it will be a short lived peace."<br><br>Maze nodded but couldn't reply as the doors to Sanctuary opened, causing both of them to look up and see Lord LaCroix's faithful servant enter. Although modern windows had been made for Vampires so that they could stand behind them in sunlight, there hadn't been a sunblock invented yet that could stop a Vampire from bursting into flames when directly in it, luckily he'd designed the main area of the club so that it was far enough away the sun could shine in, but not reach any of the Vampires that may still be around once the sun rose. Sebastian however cursed as the blood he'd drank wasn't enough to stop his head from pounding when the bright light shone in. "Gah." He muttered and lowered his head to the bar.<br><br>Ryan Malloy, the Human servant to his Father approached the bar, eyeing Maze wearily. "Lord LaCroix, it is an honor to see you again. I have your <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Suit</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i1332.photobucket.com/albums/w603/Xeris87/T29233010Z_050_main_zpsrbmczhsx.jpg)</div></div>.<br><br>Lifting his head again, Sebastian had to admit it was a nice looking suit, complete with a matching black shirt and red tie. "Nice." He said "Not happy it's my Wedding Suit, but it's a nice suit none the less."<br><br>"Your father will be arriving in a few hours to collect you for the ceremony."<br><br>"Uh huh." Sebastian nodded.<br><br>"He expects you to be ready on time and to go through with the ceremony to marry Princess Reyna."<br><br>Sebastian growled under his breath, barring his fangs for a moment before nodding, poor Ryan was only doing his job "Tell Daddy Dearest that I'll be ready."

				Her Mother walked up behind her and placed her hands on her shoulders, giving them a gentle squeeze. "Reyna...your Father didn't see any other choice. King LaCroix agreed to help keep the peace between Humans and Vampires if you married his Son. I know that it doesn't seem fair, and it may even seem cruel to you...but this marriage will help save us. Save all of us..." her Mother Cassandra said in a soft voice. <br><br>Reyna sighed softly and slowly turned to look at her Mother, "I just don't understand how Father could possibly think a Marriage between a Human and Vampire could possibly bring peace. How is one union going to end this war?" she asked. <br><br>Before her Mother could answer, the doors to her room opened and her Father walked in. Dressed in a very fine cut black suit with a deep red shirt underneath and a black bow-tie. He walked towards his wife and daughter, stopping a few feet from the two of them before speaking. "You look absolutely ravishing my dear...an absolutely beautiful bride..." he said, though he didn't smile. <br><br>"I guess I should look ravishing considering I'm being married off to a vampire..." Reyna said and noticed a flash of anger in her Father's eyes at her comment. <br><br>"Reyna...I realize that this is not what you want. I know that you don't want to Marry Prince LaCroix...but your marriage to him will ensure that another war between Humans and Vampires doesn't happen. King LaCroix has promised me that his son will treat you with respect and will keep you safe..." Stephan told his daughter, reaching out and gently placing his hand on her cheek. Looking into her blue eyes with his own. "I love you Reyna...and I know that you'll do what's right for our people..." he said before pulling away from her and nodding to his wife. <br><br>"Come...it is nearly sundown and we need to make our way to LaCroix Manor by nightfall..." he said and escorted his wife out of Reyna's bedroom. Leaving her alone for a moment. <br><br>The young bride looked at her reflection once more, letting out a small sigh before turning and making her way out of her bedroom. A place she would probably never return to. There was a good chance that she would most likely be killed the moment that she said 'I do' to Sebastian LaCroix. This could all be some sort of trap to murder her and her entire family. To get rid of them once and for all. She wouldn't put it past those blood suckers. They'd done far worse over the centuries. She just hoped that if she died that night, it would be quick. <br><br>She began her decent down the stairs and into the entrance of her family's estate. Her Parents waiting for her as she made her way towards them. A Servant opening the door for them and following them outside as they made their way to a black limo that was waiting for them. The Driver coming around and opening the door for them. <br><br>Reyna was the first to slide in. Her Mother helping her with her dress as she did so. Slipping in and sitting towards the front of the limo. Right behind the driver. Her parents getting in quickly after her, the driver shutting the door before making his way back into the drivers seat. The Limo pulling away from the house, making their way to the LaCroix Estate...and to Reyna's dark future.

				The last several hours, Prince Sebastian LaCrox, heir to the Vampire kingdom had spent doing something very un-prince like...he was moping, all the while Maze sat by and watched with an amused smile on her face.<br><br>"It's ridiculous." He muttered. "It's ridiculous, it's stupid, it's idiotic, it makes no sense and I don't want to do it!" <br><br>Maze laughed out loud at her friend as he spoke, even when he turned and glared at her "Yes I know that sounded childish but it's still true." He said as he slumped down on the couch in his office. After a few minutes of silence he looked up and over the room at Maze, who was sitting at his desk with her feet up "I don't want to get married, least of all to a human." He told her "If I was going to marry anybody I always figured it would be you."<br><br>Maze looked over at him and for a brief moment an flicker of sadness flickered through her eyes before shrugging it off and smiling "Well I appreciate that but who says I'd want to marry you?"<br><br>Sebastian chuckled and motioned to himself with both hands "Have you seen me? Come on who else looks this good besides me?" He smirked, causing her to laugh and shake her head.<br><br>A few hours later, Sebastian was dressed in his black suit, black shirt and blood red tie, making his way out of Sanctuary and into the Limo waiting outside, Maze right by his side as always. She was wearing a slinky black, figure hugging dress accentuating her body and highlighting all her curves...and knowing Maze was also hiding at least 5 different types of blades somewhere under the material, how they didn't show he didn't know.<br><br>Getting into the car, he saw his father waiting for him. "Sebastian, Mazikeen."&nbsp; Caleb greeted the two. He wasn't surprised that Sebastian had brought Mazikeen with him, he was her best friend and bodyguard after all. She usually went wherever Sebastian did. She was also a warrior and one of the best when it came to fighting Humans, which was the one reason he had hoped his son would have left her at home, but it was too late now.<br><br>"Lord LaCroix." Maze smiled, with a humble nod of her head.<br><br>"Father." Sebastian said casually.<br><br>Caleb smiled "At least try to look pleased Sebastian, you're going to wed this woman after all and this is to prevent war between us and the Humans, if you don't pleased with it then how will either side keep the peace."<br><br>"Nobody is here right now Dad, I'll put on the happy smile and play Prince Puppet when we get there." Sebastian replied<br><br>Caleb nodded "I hope so. And I promised King Astor that you wouldn't hurt his daughter and would treat her with respect and protect her."<br><br>Sebastian nodded "Of course, wouldn't be much point of us getting married in order to prevent war if I went and killed her myself would it?"&nbsp; The Prince replied, his voice dripped with sarcasm. "Besides do you forget that my club caters to both Humans and Vampires without and trouble." He paused and smiled "See I'm already doing what you, King Astor and the other rulers have failed to do."<br><br>Caleb narrowed his eyes at his son, not sure if he was angry at the fact that the boy was being childish and arguing with him or the fact that he did indeed have a point, he had succeeded with that stupid club of his where countless generations had failed over the centuries.<br><br>The rest of the journey passed in silence until they pulled up at LaCroix manor, the driver opening the door for the Lord before circling around to open the Prince's. "King Astor, his wife Cassandra, his daughter Reyna and the rest of the Humans will be arriving shortly sir." One of the servants informed them.<br><br>"Good, I will prepare to meet them. Sebastian I'll see you inside." Caleb said as he made his way inside.<br><br>Sebastian just nodded as he looked up at the old mansion "I hate this place." He muttered "It's so old and Gothic and dingy. I hate it even more today." He added as he sighed and started making his way towards the entrance. Glancing over at Maze he looked at her almost pleadingly "You know it's not too late to stake me, or cut off my head, I know you have at least one blade on you that could do it." He told her as they crossed&nbsp; the courtyard.

				It took nearly half an hour to drive from their home to LaCroix Manor. The place looked like something out of a Dracula movie. Which was ironic considering who their hosts were going to be. Though...her Father had already warned her about being on her best behavior while they were there. <br><br>What else was she going to do? Turn into Bridezilla? <br><br>She wasn't going to very well break off a piece of wooden furniture and try using it as a stake to kill her groom to be. That would just make matters worse. Though...it would certainly make Reyna feel better about the whole situation. She still couldn't believe that her Father was making her go through with this marriage. What good was it going to do? Humans and Vampires were still going to hate each other. Still going to try and kill one another. What was one marriage between a vampire and a human going to accomplish? <br><br>Her Father and King LaCroix believed that it would solve the issue, but what if it didn't? What if it only made matters worse?<br><br>Even though Reyna had never met Sebastian LaCroix for herself, she had heard of him. He was supposedly a handsome vampire who owned his very own club that catered to both Humans and Vampires alike. A place called <em>Sanctuary</em>. Apparently he was a big success, and very popular with the ladies. Both human and vampire alike. It just had to be her luck that she was the daughter of the human King. <br><br>The limo pulled up to the front of the house. Heavily guarded by several dangerous looking vampires. <br><br>The driver got out of the limo and walked around to open the car door for them. Her parents slid out first before she slid out behind them. Straightening out her dress and looking around nervously. Her heart hammering hard inside of her chest. Looking around to see if Sebastian was anywhere near by, though she doubted that she would see him until she was walking down the aisle to meet him. <br><br>"Reyna...come and meet Lord LaCroix..." she heard her Father's voice say. Looking up and seeing the King of Vampires along with his parents standing in the entryway of the Manor. <br><br>Reyna swallowed the lump of fear that was in her throat as she slowly walked towards her parents and Lord LaCroix. Stopping a few feet away and bowing respectfully towards him. "My Lord..." she said to him in a polite voice.

				Sebastian was standing at the entrance to the family Manor with his parents, watching as the Human Royal Family pulled up in the driveway. He glanced over at his parents, silently hoping they would realize that idea would never work and call if off, but neither of them did as they put on smiles for the approaching family.<br><br>Glancing off to his right, he saw Maze as always ready to protect him if necessarily, the Vampire warrior clearly ready to take action and strike at any Human who would dare attack him or his family. "Still got a few seconds to stake me Maze." He told her.<br><br>"Mazikeen will do no such thing, this wedding is happening Sebastian, for the good of our kind." His father told him. "Whether you like it or not."<br><br>Sebastian sighed as he watched the Human King, Queen and their daughter, his soon-to-be-wife walking up the stairs towards them. He could smell her fear and could see it in her eyes as well what he knew was the same desire to not go through with this that he saw in his own eyes...or at least what he assumed he would see if he had an actual reflection anymore.<br><br>He watched as the girl, Reyna he believed her name was stopped a few feet from him and bowed towards him, greeting him in a polite voice. He had to admit she was quite attractive but not necessarily the kind of woman he'd usually go for. "Oh please don't bow, I never was one for that crap." He smiled, ignoring the glare his father and mother gave him but smiled at the snorted chuckled Maze did. "Besides you are going to be my bride...apparently." He added. "However it is a pleasure to meet you my lady." He told her as he reached out and took her hand, gently kissing the top of it and letting go. "So tell me, do you think that their..." He began as he waved between their fathers "...whole marriage plan is as stupid as I do?" <br><br>He caught the glare from both his father and her's at his question but just smiled at her as he awaited her reply.
