Bur'nak watched her pick up the pendent and held it up to him. Bur'nak looked at the pendent and listened to her talk "so you are from that royal family". He took the pendent and look at it closely "My old pack and your royal family have been on unsteady terms for several hundred years. " for your half brother to hate you so much he must fear your power. The power that you have gives us even more power. Bur'nak looked around the village. We will pit the humans, your royal family and my pack against one another. We will be in the middle pulling the strings if that is okay with you."

Creed paced back and forth waiting for the news of Bur'naks death "that damndable man mocking me, by not following orders then killing my own men he will parish if its the last thing I do" he punched a wall leaving a crater in the stone brick.

"Yes I am from the royal family my father is the king and my mother was his mistress." Victoria said to him for she did not care that she was half roayal blood or anything she felt like an outsider in that family for even thought her father kept her he nover showed her love and let her half siblings walk all over her. "I have no clue what ower I have to make my brother fear me I was banned from looking into my power I just learned the basic mind control, mind erasing and a couple of other simple stuff for a vampire to start learning." She explained to him as she stretched a little as she lsitened to his idea about pitting the humans and their own races. "We could do that but I think our probelm lies in the people who rule our races." Victoria siad to him as she looked at the sky watching the stars.

The eldest prince of the vampire clan was frustrated that he had yet to fine he half wretched little sister. "Where can that brat be finaly I get her banished so I can destroy her but now she has vanished." He siad and growled in frustration. "I will have that wretched child killed if its the last thing I do."

Bur'nak ponder the situation "well we must fined someone to train you to better developed your powers. There must be more outcast like us from other packs and other royal familys ." The arrogance of the leaders will be their down fall. We just need to make it look like one attacked the other". Bur'nak smiled he gently tool the pendent from victoria. "We will use this we will kill one more of creeds men and plant this on the body, so when they fined it they will see that your family attacked creeds and an all out war will start. How will we get your family to attack creeds it will have to look like a werewolf attacked them but it can't be me because creed will know my smell if they ever decided to talk and I will have to leave fur to show it was a werewolf attack." Bur'nak sighed " none the less we better leave before the village gets brave and decides to kill us".

Victoria looked at Bur'nak when he said about finding someone to train her better and she did not know if there was others like that were banished also. Most of the time her father just killed them off to prevent a rebellion against her old man. "Hmm not a bad idea to leave this stupid this behind and leave the attacking to me since I am a vampire and smell like one I am not that weak at least I think I am not that weak." She said to him and thought about the attacking a vampire. "I know a couple area's that vampire guards patrol so we can get my kind that way then we can attack your kind." She said to him and looked at the houses. "You might be right let's leave now I do not wish to fight living humans for it would not be a fair fight." She said as she started walking away from the human village and back into the forest.

Bur'nak followed Victoria into the woods " okay it is settled then". He pondered the situation for a second, " okay we will take out some werewolves first. Creed will send more men out when he realizes that the attack failed to kill me. We will kill several of his men, you said that you can mind erase also.

I will help in the attack and you will erase me from their memory but you will need to state who you are." "Can you also implant memories that they never had? If so we will implant your step brother in their memory instead of me and we will plant his medallion in one of their hand." He stopped after they walked far enough into the woods " we will make camp here for a few days".

He found a good sized mountain with a cave that they could hide in for a few days until creeds men showed up he set up camp and made a camp fire. He sat at the fire pondering trying to think every thing through before it is to late. He closed his eyes and went into deep meditative state would be easier to go over his plan.

Victoria listened to Bur'nak as they walked through the forest planning so they can have their kind go against each other in full out war. She walked and listened to him ask about her powers over the minds. "Yes I can erase memories and I can also replace memories its a little trickier but I can do it after all I used to practice that on the servants back at the palace before I was banished." She explained to him as they walked and she did like his idea of doing that.

Once they stopped she went and sat on a rock as she left her barefeet dangle as she looked at her companion. "To think we are going to a lot of trouble to put our clans against each other but then again it would help get them to leave us alone so we can try to live a nice peaceful life." She said as she stretched a little before following him to the cave finding a good area she can sleep in for the sun will not reach it not matter the time of day.

Victoria walked out after finding where she was going to sleep she saw Bur'nak meditating and decided to stay quiet and let him do what he was doing. She sat on the other side of the fire so she could gain some of the warmth of the fire waiting to see if Bur'nak will talk anytime soon.

as Bur'nak continued to meditate he meticulously went through their plan. His pulse slowed as he went deeper into his meditation, he learned how to meditate several hundred years ago. When he traveled across the land, he had found a small temple and the monks taught him the power to relive parts of his life again. So as to better understand the art of war, only few people ever saw Bur'nak meditate but no one knew this is why he was a great tactician.

Bur'nak could go through thousands of scenarios with in an hour. Bur'nak opened his eyes and looked at Victoria across from him and grinned " I'm ready now we just wait for them to come to us". He stood up and scratched his head and walked into the cave and transformed into a werewolf. He walked out on all fours and laid close by the fire yawning he looked back to Victoria.

" I just want you to know that I am not attacking creed because I want his throne. I am doing this because creed has been blinded by his power. Creed controls one of the strongest werewolf packs on the continent and his territory is massive. The reason why no one has opposed him is because their packs are not strong enough. I could try to band them together to help in the attack, I am not sure they could stop the fighting among them selves to help."

Victoria sat in front of the fire watching the flames dance around as the wood burned. She did get up a few times to get more wood until she finally decided to gather a whole bunch of wood so she would not always have to get up and gather wood every time the fire was close to dying. She had a big pile of wood stacked near the fire that was in arms reach so all Victoria had to do was reach her arm out grab a branch or whatever and throw it in the fire. She sat there as she waited for Bur'nak to open his eyes. She was used to being quiet for long hours since no one liked talking to her.

Once he finally opened his and looked at her as she sat there and listened to him said he was ready and was just now waiting. She watched him go in the cave then come back out as a werewolf and then listened to him saying how he was not doing this for power or anything. The he was doing it because of how this Creed got greedy with power and have lost it. "I have no desire for the throne either in my kingdom I just want to show my so call family that I am a lot stronger and smarter then they let on to believe." Victoria said as she looked at the fire. "And to show my so call father that he should have treated me the way he did and let my half siblings do what they did to me....after this I just want to live freely."

Creed walked the floor when a his new general walked in, " sir we located the two soldiers you sent they had no clue as to why they were out in the woods and and had no recollection of the orders to hunt to kill Bur'nak. "Bur'nak must have given them mild amnesia". Creed growled and went into a blind rage and destroyed his thrown and punched a hole in the wall. He looked at the general "find him and find him now I don't care what you have to do just find him".

Several days passed as Bur'nak and Victoria waited for creed to send more men. Bur'nak scouted the woods all day while victoria slept, he would also go find some criminals for Victoria feed on. Just before he was going to call it a night he sniffed the air one last time, thats when he caught the smell of the werewolves. He ran on all fours back to camp just as it grew into night, he ran into the cave and sat next to Victoria waiting for her to wake up.

The eldest vampire prince was growing more impatient. "Where is she how hard is it to the find a vampire that just does not do much I mean she wears a blood red dress how can you not spot that in the forest." He said angry as the guards keep reporting that she just keeps vanishing in thin air. "WEL FIND HER SO I CAN HAVE HER KILL!" He ordered and the guards scurried off.

Victoria was fast asleep in the cave while daylight was going on. Thankfully the last time she was in the sun the burns had healed completely. She finally woke up as the sun went down and she saw the Bur'nak next to her. 'What is going on Bur'nak you never lay next to me when it is close for me to wake up at night?" She asked as she looked at him as she stretched a little and stood up to dust the back of her dress off. "Is something coming our way?"

When Victoria awoke he smiled " werewolves are on the prowel and they are creeds men". With that he quickly ran from the cave. He needed to cover his sent before the fight to better ambush them. He found a mud puddle and started rolling around in the mud coating his fur. He climbed out and started to hunt them stalking his prey. He will attack first to startle them then the plan was for Victoria to join in to startle them even more. He watched as they walked through the woods smelling the air, all they could pick up is the earthy smell. There were at least five of them, he charged and attacked the one in the very back. He quickly nocked him out with surprising ease.

Victoria understood what he meant as she stayed away for a while until she should appear. She followed Bur'nak from a distance and was in some tree's as she watched him take out the rear werewolf as she watched them before jumping out of the tree once they looked back to see one of their members where gone. "To bad for the rear guard but the Eldest Prince of the vampire kingdom ordered this attack." She said and in the blink of an eye she took down one of the werewolves with ease thanks to her strength and speed. She was able to take another one down so Bur'nak did not have to deal with a few of them as he attacked the other one so she could get to work to changing their memories after erasing the old ones with her in it and had her brother attack along with them thinking they smelled him.

Bur'nak got up from his attack and saw Victoria leap into battle from the trees. It was quite impressive but before he could admire her, he was interrupted by another werewolf swinging at him. Bur'nak wasn't able to dodge in time the werewolf clawed at his face then quickly at his chest. Bur'nak could feel warm blood dripping from his wounds, he snarled at the wolf before he speared him to the ground. Bur'nak started slashing at the werewolf's face and chest, He then balled his fist up and swung his fist which connected with the wolfs head, with a sickening crack the werewolf fell limp either unconscious or dead he had no time to figure it out.

Victoria saw what happened with the wolf that attacked Bur'nak and only sighed for she could tell that the wolf creature was dead. "Nice job you just killed him." She said as she leapt into the air as another werewolf came after her and she landed behind him. "You are so boring forI thought the vampire prince sad you guys were more of a challenge my Prince Alexander was wrong." She said for that was her eldest brothers name as she speed up to him and punched the werewolf in the gut knocking the wind out of him with out giving him a chance to blink or even defend himself. Once he was out she changed his memories also making sure to leave Bur'nak out of them. "Man I thought you werewolves were strong but these guys were pretty weak and I was only taught basic combat." She said to Bur'nak once she was done with rearranging memories before collapsing to the ground. "But changing memories takes a lot of energy out of me." She said to him as she tried to breath a lot more steadily as she looked back at Bur'nak and making sure there were no more werewolves. "Hey Bur'nak where is the first werewolf you tackled before I joined into the fight?" For she had not changed his memory or anything yet to the creature and she wanted to make sure that he does not get away and ruin their plan.

Bur'nak laughed "I guess I did" he watched as she finished up nocking the last one out "it won't hurt to have one dead it will piss creed off more". He pulled Prince alexander's amulet out and placed it in the dead wolfs hand. " These wolves were not finished with my training and were not very old and never fought a vimpire before." "I hate to kill the trainees but I do what I need to survive". "O the other one is in the bushes" he jumped I to the woods and grabbed the downed wolf by the ankle and dragged him to where the rest were "here you go". " DAMN!" my tracks their memories won't coincide with the tracks". He turned back into a human and changed into some clothes he had near by. He found all his tracks wiped them away and put new boot prints in their place.

Victoria just looked at Bur'nak and then once he brought the wolf over to her she got to work with erasing his memories then replacing them with her and some of the vampire guards to make him thing he got ambushed by them. Once she finished she let out a tired sigh. As she tried to regain her strength after dealing with changing memories and knocking out the wolves. "man I am tired from all this doing all the memory changes and taking them out so they would not fight back how can anyone keep this up none stop." She said as she sighed a little and got up slowly being a little wobbly. "So we planted the bait and I changed their memories so they think it was my brother who did this to Creeds trainees." She said as she leaned against a tree not sure at what to do now but waiting to see what Bur'nak wanted to do now and what the next part of the plan was going to be so she would be prepared for it.

Bur'nak walked over and picked Victoria up and carried her. He jumped up into the trees and started jumping from branch to branch to make sure he didn't leave any foot prints. Bur'nak took them back to the cave and set her down "we need to clear this area they will search the area." He started to clean up the camp and after a few hours he was done. "okay we must leave part one of our plan is done", he picked her up once more knowing how tired she was.

He had a few hours before it got light out he jumped back into the trees with Victoria in his arms. Bur'nak started running across tree branches he stayed silent most of the way trying to think what the best way would be to attack the vampires. Bur'nak came upon a giant tree with a hollow base that could fit two comfortably. Bur'nak jumped down from the trees he set Victoria down, he entered the tree and started cleaning dead leaves among other things from the tree.

Once done he went and found pine needles for bedding and warmth and laid them down as a base, then put dry leaves over top of the pine needles to keep them from poking them during the day. He looked around and found a decent size log that he could put in front of the hole to keep the sun from coming in while they slept. " It isn't much but it will have to do for now."

Victoria was glad that he picked her up and carried her for she could not move anymore no thanks to the extra work she did to make creed think that it was her brother that attacked them and not Bur'nak. She liked the breeze that was hitting her face for it felt really nice as they traveled through the trees. She had to admit it was nice to have someone carry her instead of her using up ever last bit of her energy to keep going until she was safe and sound. So it was nice this time around to not have to worry and start building her energy up. Once they returned to the cave she watched him get ride of any evidence that they were there which she under stood. When he was done and explained that part one of the plan was done she just nodded her head at him.

She just kept enjoy the ride as he picked her up and carried her through the trees again. She knew he was thinking about the vampires and she knew them better since she was board and just studied a lot of their patrol patterns and where they normally go and when they normally go. "In two night some of the vampire guards will be out doing patrol right at Dusk when the son is completely down and I am sure my brother will add a couple more just in case they find me." She said in a quiet voice that only Bur'nak could hear as they kept going through the tres until he came across the hallow log.

Victoria mainly watched him as he got it cleaned out, after setting her down, and the place the pine needles and the leaves on top of it. She looked at him after he blocked the hole and she just looked at it. "It is better then nothing honestly and I am sorry you have to try to accommodate for me since I can not really be in the sun so it must make things hard on you especially trying to find a place for you to sleep."She said to Bur'nak for she did feel bad for him because they always had to find a place that would be dark and not let sunlight in so she could sleep and not get killed by the sun. "So thank you and very sorry." She said to him before laying down to get some sleep.

Bur'nak smiled "don't worry about it Victoria we are both out cast now we need to work together it will be much easier to live with your help and if it means finding places for you to sleep then ill put up with it" he laughed. He turned back into a wolf and curled up next to Victoria to keep her warm through the day. He quickly fell asleep he dreamed of his past commanding a giant army of werewolves against another army of wolves.

They were clad in armor some had weapons giant hammers axes or bastard swords they fought at night. The army clashed wolves howled to the moon obe last time before dying. The sky grew dark and started to rain the flash of thunder showed the glowing eyes of the enemies. He sat up right very quickly startled he was breathing heavily, if he could have sweated his fur would have been damp but lucky for him he doesn't. It appeared to still be light out and he fell back asleep.

Victoria nuzzled up to Bur'nak for he was nice warm and it actually felt nice to cuddle up next to him. She never really had anyone to look after her or even was considerate about her feeling along with her well being like Bur'nak did for her. She actually liked it a lot and just nuzzled close to him as she slept. She felt him jolt later on and woke up a little to see what was going on but saw that he went back to sleep and could tell light was out and just curled back up close to Bur'nak as she dozed back off to sleep where her dreams were filled with nothing but darkness and listening to voices saying awful things about her but she had grown so numb to it that it did not effect her in her dreams as she laid in the middle of the darkness listening to the voices non-stop.

Her brother was busy planning a new patrolling schedule so that he could find his half sister Victoria. "Man she is really tricky to find....why she is pretty easy to find even in the castle so why is it hard now." Alexander said with his fangs as he growled. "Where are you Victoria? Tell em so I can devour that blood of yours." He said as he shooed the guards away making them go on patrol early as he sat to Alexander sat to his thoughts.
