Heirs Of The Lombardis

Genesis Of The War

Rosalie came out of the emergency room, tears welled up in her eyes as she sat on the chair outside in the corridor. She put her hands on her face and cried.

Ross came at her after a while. "Sweetheart? What happened?".

Rosalie looked up and hugged her father. Her lab coat and hands were red in blood.

"I cannot bare to see them like this". She cried.

Ross took a deep breath and stroked her back. "I know, it's painful".

"I want to save them, all of them, Daddy". Rosalie pulled herself back.

"They'll be fine, you did your best and saved dozens of lives before, Sweetheart". Ross smiled at her.

"That's not enough". She sat back in defeat.

"You did your best, no one can do anything above this, Rosalie.. you can just pray now, God will heal them". He reassured his daughter.

She sighed, still unsatisfied. "I'll go get changed".

"Yes, and let's head home now, it's two in the morning". Ross gave a nod.

"Doctor Rosalie?". A nurse hurriedly rushed at them.

"What?". She turned to him.

"Susan". He said trying to catch his breath. ".. Susan's unconscious".

Rosalie became worried and ran towards the neurology department.

"Luciana". Venturo's mother, Sarah walked inside the drawing room, smiling at a woman sitting on the couch.

"Madame!". Luciana stood up happily.

"Come on give me a hug.. it's been years". Sarah spread her arms.

Luciana walked at her and hugged her. "I'm so happy to see you".

"I'm so happy to see you too". Sarah replied. "Sit".

Luciana took a seat and Sarah sat beside her. "So, what's going on in your life?".

"Life wasn't good after leaving this house, Madame. The children of this house took birth in my hands, I hated staying away from them". Luciana looked down.

"Talking of Children...". Hendrick stormed in, eyeing Sarah and Luciana. "...tell me about Rhea".

"Rhea?". Luciana looked at Sarah.

"WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HER?". Hendrick shouted.

Luciana was afraid of his attitude, she stood up.

"Hendrick?". Vladimir and the others entered the room at the sudden commotion.

"What happened?". Jonas, his brother-in-law asked.

"She lied to us about Rhea.. she told us that she didn't drank the blood.. were you the mole, Luciana?". Hendrick narrowed his glance.

Sarah stood up and faced him. "You're putting false blames, Hendrick".

"I didn't lied to you about anything! I was just a nurse". Luciana sobbed, her hands trembled.

"She wasn't a Vampire, you told us, yes?". Hendrick said.

"I didn't". Luciana shook her head.

"She's lying on our face!". Hendrick exclaimed.

"I'm not lying". Luciana replied. "I told Ginger that the girl is not drinking the blood right now but on her 28th birthday, she'll transform into a vampire herself because she was weak and was born from a human.. Abigail was weak and clumsy".

"Ginger?". Hendrick's eyes widened. "I always suspected her.. she hated Abigail".

"But now she's dead.. no one can do anything". Vladimir said.

"Where's Rhea? And Venturo? They took birth in my hands". Luciana asked. "I wanna see them".

"Rhea's not here and Venturo has gone out". Sarah responded.

"And Abigail?".

"Ginger's lies separated me from the love of my life Abigail and my daughter". Hendrick sat on the couch as he started sobbing.

Luciana gasped. "But she had the touch of death!'.

"You knew it?". Sarah was surprised and so were the others.

"I.. yes! She had a mark on her left shoulder which was same as our master, Paul, may he rest in peace, had". Luciana told.

"Ugh! Ginger". Hendrick cursed. "Sarah? Luciana will stay here, forever now". He stood up. "Vladimir, prepare for the commune party. I hate to sit and eat with my enemies but we cannot turn away from our traditions".

Rosalie took off her stethoscope and sipped some water from the glass resting on her table.

"You ready to leave, Sweetheart?". Ross entered.

"Yeah.. I don't wanna go leaving all my patients like this but I could use some sleep". She smiled.

"Let's go then". Ross turned to go. "Stay at our place tonight, you'll not be able to sleep alone in your apartment and your Mommy will be happy to see you".

"Sure". Rosalie nodded.

"Missing me, Rose?". A guy aged same as Rosalie, smirked as he talked to her on the video call.

She had placed her laptop on her study table in her childhood room and smiled at him. "It was a very busy week, Kian.. and I'm exhausted".

"I'm sorry to hear that, Rose". Kian replied. "I'll be back in a few days".

"During this time, I realized how much I crave your company!". Rosalie said. "I love being around you".

"I'm glad you're my friend.. no one ever waits for me except you". He smiled.

"So, about your tour, what did you do so far...".

The sun revealed it's first rays as the commune party reached it's end.

The werewolves and the vampires, stole hateful glances at each other but no one could do anything but to be patient and let the night _ which came every year _ pass without commotion.

"Hey, Ladies and Gentlemen! Thank you for being here today". A werewolf spoke in the mic, driving everyone's attention.

The cowen looked at him. "Marius.. I hate him". Hendrick gritted his teeth. Marius enjoyed the same status among the werewolves as Hendrick did in the Vampires. He was the leader of the Alpha Clan.

"This night always brings surprises, right?". He continued.

"What are you up to, Marius?". Vladimir talked in a low voice.

"We are expecting a change in Vampire Leadership.. Hendrick Lombardi has been announced unworthy of leadership anymore.. he needs to be replaced". Marius smirked at Hendrick.

"How does he know all that?". Venturo said angrily.

"Stop reacting, Son". Sarah placed her hand on his broad chest.

All the werewolves looked at the cowen, smirking devilishly.

"Oh God!". Vladimir grunted.

"And guess who's the next heir?". Marius added. "RHEA LOMBARDI!".

"Rhea? Who's that?". The werewolves talked to each other.

"He knows everything!". Hendrick exclaimed.

The Vampires in the party surrounded the cowen, trying to protect them.

"Rhea Lombardi is Hendrick's daughter!". Marius laughed out loud.

"He didn't HAD children!". A werewolf said.

"Who said that?He and Abigail had a daughter!". Marius looked in the crowd. "This party ain't gonna end up .. let's ruin our traditions, Lombardis". Marius said.

"Hurry up! Leave the place, everyone!". Venturo said to his companions.

The Vampires started stepping backwards and started leaving the place.

"I'm not gonna let you win, Marius". Hendrick shouted at Marius.

"Uncle, we don't have time for this". Venturo tried to calm him down.

"I announce open war against the Vampires from today.. I'll find your daughter and kill her so that you lose everything you have, Hendrick!". Marius laughed out loud.

"LEAVE!". Venturo shouted at the Vampires as the werewolves advanced towards them.

"Hendrick! We need to leave". Jonas pulled him back.

"He is threatening me". Hendrick said angrily.

"We'll deal with him later, now's not the right time or the right place". Jonas said.

"Uncle, we have to leave.. they outnumber us". Venturo panicked.

"Okay, let's go". Hendrick glared one last time at Marius and turned around to leave.
