Welcome to Gaia! ::

Vlad looked at the boy and growled though he knew that Sal was right. Still that didn't stop him from scaring the other his fist slamming hard into the wall near his head with enough force that it would have caused serious harm if he had hit the human.

"Sal is correct, but that doesn't mean that I wont hold you responsible for what might happen to her. If your father harms my little girl..." He was going to let the man know that he would do anything for his daughter.

"Alright, it is getting late for you two, I shall make something for you to eat, then you will go to bed." He said looking at Alvin taking the boy's arm and dragging him into the castle. He knew Sal would follow him and they would discuss what to do with Alvin if he wasn't telling them the truth. Since he had known Tina's name, he assumed he had met his daughter.

((my computer was being mean and posted when I was trying to edit it.))

Vlad looked at Alvin and shook his head. "Fine, but that means we are going with you. I will not wait around when it is possible to get my daughter back tonight." Vlad could send one of the men that he confided in after Alvin to be sure that he knew where his daughter was kept if something happened. He didn't want Alvin to run off after telling them where she was.

Vlad let go of Alvin's arm and looked him over. "So, are you telling me that this father of yours doesn't even trust you?" This sounded interesting, but he figured that the boy was afraid of him. That was fine, he figured as much and at this moment he wanted to feared. If he went to his father and told him of the vampire, perhaps the man would let his daughter go or face his wrath.

"Your right, I would follow you. After all, you are the only connection we have to Tina. It would be foolish of me to just let you walk away." He wondered if he had hurt the male when Alvin rubbed his arm. He didn't feel bad at all, even though Alvin was innocent, Tina was probably scared when she had been taken.

Turning to Sal as the boy left he let out a sigh. "I cant believe Im letting him walk out of here." He had been beating himself up about letting something happen to his daughter. After all he had told Sal he could protect them and here Tina had been kidnapped and was being held by a collector. He knew he had screwed up and now he was afraid that Sal would feel unsafe around him, that was another part of his worry. It didn't help that there were plenty of younger attractive men around that could probably protect his mate better.

Vlad was ashamed of himself. Yes he threatened Alvin but it was because he was feeling completely helpless and he didn't like that feeling at all. He hung his head a moment before nodding and looking at Sal. "I know, I... Have just felt that I can't protect you, protect our children. I promised you that nothing would happen to you or her and it did."

Vlad knew that Alvin probably did risk his life bringing them information and now he had alienated the boy. He would have to make it up to this Unlikely hero.

"I'm just worried you will find someone else that can protect you better, someone younger and less violent." Sure he was only violent when his family was threatened or while he was irritable but that didn't matter to him, Sal was a gentle soul and Vlad had been born during a time of war and violence. It was what had kept him alive for so long.

"I know, it still doesnt mean I don't blame myself." He said letting out a sigh and holding his mate and husband close. "I don't think I'll be able to sleep knowing we are so close to getting her back. You should try to rest though my love. This has to be stressful for you."

Vlad remained up all night keeping Sal wrapped in his arms to calm himself and keep the man protected. When it was time to get up the vampire was on his feet and ready to head to the motel. He could say that the college Alvin was attenting contacted him to learn more of Arendale. Afterall who better to give the teen information then a man that lived in the castle and knew all there was of the town's history?

Soon the vampire was strolling the town with Sal and he was by the motel knowing it was most likely where Algin would be. He would bump into the male and ask if he was enjoying his stay and if he could help in any way. As Alvin was a visitor he could escort the teen back home and confront the male's father.

Tina had been stuck in her tank just sitting at the bottom of it and eating when food was given to her. She knew she would need her energy and strength so she had to eat. Aside from that movement she didn't do anything else and ignored Aiden whenever he tried to talk to her.

Vlad spotted Alvin first and walked up to him with Sal. Taking a deep breath the vampire gave a small bow and apologized. "I am sorry for my behavior yesterday. It has been stressful since my daughter left." He couldn't say since she was taken who knew who was listening.

"Will you let me make it up to you by showing you around town and escorting you back home?" The last bit was so he and Sal could follow Alvin back to Arabor without drawing suspicion to what was actually happening.

Vlad looked at Alvin and nodded. "I suppose your right, it will take all day to return to your home. While I did come here to make sure you didn't leave until we got the information of where our daughter is, I also wanted to show you I have no ill will towards you. I let my better judgment become clouded and I shouldn't have reacted the way I did. I see my mistake and came to correct it."

With a sigh the vampire ran a hand through his hair. He was stressed and trying hard to remain calm in this situation. He couldn't blame Alvin for what happened, he knew that but the teen had been the first one from the outside he could take his anger out on. He still didn't trust the boy before him, but he had to right now to make sure he could bring Tina home.

"I do have to go with you, otherwise this trip would be wasted and she would still be in your father's collection. I'm sure you understand that."
