Victim 2: Hunters and Hunted

Technically, Ivy McKnight wasn't Queen just yet. She needed to marry Blake Ashen to do that, and luckily for her, Blake proposed. They set a marriage date, and it wasn't too far away.
Blake "We need to go back to our to our old ways, Ivy." Ivy was quite content with their new life, but didn't really care as to what happened.
Ivy "Fine. Do as you wish." Blake smiled and pulled her into a kiss. She leaned against him in unison. Ivy seemed to actually be falling for him, and didn't care. She was his, and he was hers. They could rule together, and dominate all side-by-side.

Ivy's acceptance to their "old ways" was the only reason Blake gathered some slaves and made them build a village. Their old ways were during the Medieval times, when vampires thrived. Witches were being killed, but nobody quite recognized vampires just yet.

The servents' work was going really well, even on the stables! The horses looked very happy and healthy, and that made Blake unusually happy. He loved horses, despite his angry nature.

Blake "Our Queen has decided your fate. You shall be a servant. Now go! To the fields, to start your work." He pointed to the now unlocked cell door. He watched her go, and then went to the stables to pet the horses. "Ah, a King's work is never done."

Elaine didn't try to escape the boundaries of the village, she knew it would be no use. It was better than being locked up in that small cell, though. At least she could breath fresh air. There were a few others that suffered the same fate as she, and she just now realized that. Though she was the only one baring a scarred face. She hated her new clothes that she was forced to wear. Why did they have to be all Medieval anyways? It's modern nowadays, it was better this way.

Blake was still petting the horses when Ivy turned up beside him. She was stunning in her new Medieval Queen outfit, and he stared for a while. She seemed not to notice he was there and started stroking the horse adoringly.

Blake "Do you like horses, Ivy?"

Ivy "Yes."

Blake "Would you like to go riding with me, Maiden?" He saw her blush again.

Ivy "I would like that." Blake saw her glistening fanged smile. He shot her a charming smile. "But who will watch the servants?" Someone came up behind them.

Person "I will." They both turned, and what Blake saw made his jaw drop.

Blake "Grandmama!" Blake rushed her into a hug, she smiled and chuckled as she pulled back. "When did you get here?"
Arileen "I've been living in the kindgom, Son." Blake motioned to Ivy, who curtsied.
Blake "Grandma, this is Ivy. She's my Fiance."
Arileen "Oh. Am I getting great-grandchildren any time soon?" Blake looked at Ivy, who smiled.
Blake "Perhaps."
Arileen "Congratulations to you both! Now, I'll watch your servants. Bye now." Arileen was like a mother to Blake. He loved her forevermore. She'd raised him. She was turned into a vampire long before he was, however. She taught him everything he knew about vampire customs, that's how he knew what to look for in a sim to tell whether they were a vampire or not. That's how he knew what Ivy was.

It was still evening hours, so they would have to wait until sunset before they headed out. They quickly headed inside before they possibly lost their abilities temporarily, that's what too much sun does to you. It was Sunday, and almost 5pm, so they headed into their Jacoban church, and awaited the priest's arrival. Then they could go riding. Blake sat in the priest's chair watching his favorite women. They were so elegant, and stunning. It was unreal. He was happy that he had Ivy, but having his grandmother there made him all the more happy. Maybe he wouldn't be so mean now? Nah, he's already damaged. ;)

Finally their priest arrived, and they all sat down for a nice sermon. Then it was night, and Blake led Ivy out to the horses and saddled them up.

Ivy "I hope we have more times like these, Blake," Ivy said as they rode through the forest.
Blake "Me too. I hope they're always with you." They both looked at each other and smiled.

 Their celebration was short lived, though. A striking woman with pale features, hair like Blake's, and an eye patch ran up to them. They got off their steads and confronted her.
Woman "You there! Vampire! What're you doing in this town?"
Blake "Umm. Living?"
Woman "I can fix that." The woman lunged at Blake, but Ivy pulled her back.

Ivy "Don't you dare to harm your King!" Ivy pulled her down to the ground, and Blake watched the fight eagerly. The woman was knocked unconscious. Blake smiled at his fiance, picked up the woman, and hefted her onto the back of his horse. Then, they walked home together.

They took her in the prison cell, which was now empty due to Elaine's "promotion." Ivy checked her for anything to identify her and spit on her as she did so. She found a snake armband on the girl's hand, and earrings in her ears. She looked on the inside of the band. It read, "Alexandra Dragomir of The Scarlet Snake." Ivy tossed it over to Blake.
Ivy "Do you know what this means?"
Blake "No. Should I?" Ivy shrugged. Even she didn't know. They decided to save the question for an older, more experienced vampire.. Blake's grandmama. After that they searched her down for any weaponry. She was holding a dagger with her, so they took it with them.

Elaine's baby was born soon after almost everyone had gone to sleep. Meet Dylan Ashen!

 Familiar Voice "When were you going to tell me you were getting married?" Ivy turned and ran to her mother.
Ivy "When I invited you to the wedding." They hugged. "Oh, where's Daddy? You all have to meet Blake!"
Addy "He's asleep. He was exhausted from the long drive over here."
Ivy "Well. I want you all to be there when you meet him. So we will have to wait until morning." Addy nodded and Ivy went outside to see her sister, Miranda.

Ivy "Miranda!" Ivy squeezed her tight. "I missed you!"
Miranda "I missed you too, I couldn't miss my sister's own wedding though!"
Ivy "So where's that handsome stud you told me about on the phone?" Miranda laughed.
Miranda "His name is Jacob Kyle, and he went to bed, he was tired. But I wanted to see you first."
Ivy "Oh. Well, you need to help me get ready for my wedding. It's tomorrow!"
Miranda "I can't wait!" Then Ivy, Miranda, and Addy left for their chambers, awaiting the morning.

On the day of the wedding, Ivy woke up first. She arranged the Jacoban church the way she saw fit for a wedding, and came back home. The wedding was to be at 3 pm, that way everyone was ready and on time. Ivy quickly got bored and was very nervous and excited at the same time. She decided to age up Dylan early. It turned out that Dylan got golden eyes, pale complexion, and black smokey hair. His skin color wasn't that surprising, however, since it's typical to his Occult. He turned out a Vampire, that is. A very special vampire, a Prince.

Ivy then continued to pass time by teaching Dylan to walk, and talk. She hoped everyone else was up and getting ready.

Elaine continued her daily duties as a new member to the servants group. She wondered about her little baby, but she honestly wanted nothing to do with him because it reminded her of how she came to be this way.

Gege Anne, a fellow servant from France, decided to help Elaine out since she was already finished with the house cleaning duties.

Addy & Anthony McKnight, and little Dylan Ashen

"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered together here in the sign of the Watcher – and in the face of this company – to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony, which is commended to be honorable among all men; and therefore – is not by any – to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly – but reverently, discreetly, advisedly and solemnly. Into this holy estate these two persons present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together – let them speak now or forever hold their peace," the Priest said. Nobody disagreed to the marriage, then he continued. "Very well. Do you, Ivy McKnight, eldest daughter of the Addy McKnight clan, take Blake Ashen as your loving husband?"

Ivy "I do."
Priest "Do you, Blake Ashen, only son to the Ashen crown take Ivy McKnight as your faithful wife?"
Blake "You know I do." They smiled at eachother as if in a trance.

Priest "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Meet Mr. and Mrs. Ashen!

  Ivy McKnight Ashen & Blake Ashen

It was already night by the time they got outside to eat their buffet meal. Of course Ivy and Blake sat in the royalty newlywed seats. The others filled in the tables next to them. They had a great time, all were talking, laughing and getting along.

Ivy agreed to let her sister, Miranda, use her spare crown. She wanted to feel like a princess.

Once everyone had finished eating, Ivy approached Miranda, and her mother. 
Ivy "Did you enjoy the wedding, Miranda?" 
Miranda "Yes."

Ivy "Good. See, Mom.. Her dress wasn't too revealing!"

Addy "Yea, yea, yea"

Miranda "Hahaha"

Ivy "Did YOU enjoy the wedding, Mom? You seemed to be in a happy mood."ad"Yes." Ivy smiled, took her sister's hand, and led her to where the horses were waiting for her and Blake.

Ivy let her sister spend most of their time with the horse because she knew she loved horses. Then she pulled her into a tight hug. "You can visit me anytime, Miranda," she said before going to Arileen and asking her about the text written inside of the armband.
Arileen "My God, where did you get this?"
Ivy "Off of a girl that attacked us. She's in the basement, in the prison cell."'
Arileen "Don't tell Blake. We don't want him knowing anything of this unless we're in immediate danger." Ivy nodded and Arileen pulled her into a more private corner. "This is worn by a member of The Scarlet Snake. The Scarlet Snake is a group of very powerful, dangerous vampire hunters. They are very skilled, and very deadly. Many have died by their hand."
Ivy "That girl didn't seem too powerful to me."
Arileen "Never judge a book by it's cover."
