Two years ago he had first laid eyes on her, two years to the very night. She had been younger then, so had he but he still looked the same while she had grown even more beautiful in the two years in between. The ball that night had been in honor of her birthday, her parents had decided to throw a particularly lavish one that year because she was now sixteen and they had heard that it was all the rage for humans to throw lavish parties when their own daughters turned the same age. Dominic Valdrane had been quite bored that night until he had seen her, true there had been virgin blood available (bottled of course because it had been made quite clear to him and the other vampires that feeding on the other guests would be quite rude), and the music had been passably entertaining but until the very moment he laid eyes on her he had been immensely bored and tempted to lash out at any number of the people just to make the time pass.
But then the lady of honor had been presented and she had looked splendid. Human poets and romantics liked to call a situation like that love at first site but it was hardly love for Dominic, not even infatuation, he was filled with desire over her, not just of a sexual nature but filled with a need to have her, to posses her. Of course it was natural for one of his kind to feel that way but such a powerful urge hadn't filled him in ages, in his three hundred years of life he couldn't remember the last time he had desired someone as much as he wanted her. It was decided in that moment, he would have her, nothing would stand in his way. Of course he couldn't just take her like he wanted to right then and there, her age would cause all kinds of objections, and of course her family would never agree to it.
At least not without a little bit of coercion, and Dominic was more then willing to do that.
It had taken him eighteen months to set it all up, for eighteen months he focused on nothing but the acquisition of assets that her family required and buying up their debts, until he had enough leverage over them to force them to do whatever he needed... and then he told them he would ruin them unless they gave him what he wanted, their lovely daughter...
Everything had been planned out perfectly, she would be his the very night that she reached adulthood, given to him at a ball that he would be throwing in her honor. Not a word of what was coming was to be said to her, instead she would be brought to the party in a white dress that he had picked out for her and sent to her home a few days before.
Now it was the evening of the party, the sun had just set and Dominic was becoming active in his mansion, he was quite nocturnal even with the specially filtered glass keeping him safe from the sun. Some of the guests had started to arrive and rather then play the proper hose Dominic was letting them arrive and get greeted by one of the vampires who owed him loyalty, they would announce when she arrived and make sure that she was brought to him... any moment she was to arrive and he couldn't wait to let her know that she belonged to him now.
