The luxurious mansion in Oyster Bay Cove exuded an air of wealth and extravagance, its spacious living room filled with opulent furnishings and decor.
Inside this three story mansion was Alice, sitting beside Vincent, her watchful eyes monitoring his every breath, ensuring that he was now safe and out of danger.

A small, frail-looking girl in a wheelchair, pushed by a nurse, made her way into the spacious bed room where Alice was tending to Vincent. Despite her delicate appearance, the girl's silver hair and red eyes gave her an otherworldly quality that made others uneasy.
"How is he?" the girl asked, her voice sounding young and sweet.
"He's stable now, Mother Evangeline " Alice replied, standing up and bowing her head respectfully.
"Don't be so tense, Alice. I won't bite," the girl said, giggling in a way that sent shivers down Alice's spine. Her words held a mysterious power that others could not quite explain.

Her delicate hand lingered on Vincent's face as she reminisced about her past with Fenrir. She couldn't help but notice the similarities between him and her beloved brother.
"It's been too long, big brother Fenrir," she spoke in a voice that was both sweet and melancholic, her words filled with nostalgia.
She remembered the playful moments they shared before. They would sneak out to the forest to play hide-and-seek, and sometimes they even ventured to nearby villages to cause mischief.
"I regret what I did in the past," Evangeline sighed as she continued to caress Vincent's face, afraid that he would disappear again if she let go.
"Is he the man in your prophecy, Mother?" Alice spoke with respect.
"Yes, he will be the beacon of light for all creatures of the night." Evangeline answered with confidence.
She sacrificed her power to catch a glimpse of his future, where she saw a powerful werewolf with all powerful golden eyes.
She had seen many things in her long life as an Original, but the vision of a powerful werewolf with golden eyes that could pierce the heavens was something else entirely.
In her vision, Vincent's roar was like an all-encompassing thunder that echoed throughout the land, causing the earth to shake with every step he took. His power was immense, and she could feel it pulsing through her veins even as she watched from afar.
As the vision continued, she saw that Vincent was not alone. Behind him stood an army of supernaturals, all fierce and determined in their cause. They were a mix of vampires, werewolves, witches, and other creatures of the night. They marched in perfect unison, their eyes shining with a fierce determination.
The battle was inside a modern city, but its once gleaming skyscrapers were now shattered ruins, with rubble and debris strewn everywhere. The sky was dark, as if the sun itself had been extinguished, and only the eerie glow of fires illuminated the battlefield.
Finally, as dawn began to break over the shattered city, Vincent stood alone, his body battered and bloody, but his spirit unbroken. The enemy had been vanquished, and he was victorious.
The supernaturals who had fought by his side cheered and raised their voices in victory, but his gaze was fixed on the horizon. For he knew that this was only the beginning of a war that would rage for centuries to come, a war that would test his strength and his will to its limits.
Unfortunately, that small glimpse of the future had weakened her to this extent.
Alice on the other hand was in complete awe of Evangeline's predictions. As a child, she was taken in by Evangeline and initially thought her adoptive mother was insane for asking her to infiltrate DSAS and wait for a werewolf with a golden medallion on its chest.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt seemed like an impossible task, especially since she had to wait for five long years and work in the agency, all to potentially rescue a man who may not even exist.
However, when Vincent arrived in their facilities, Alice was stunned to discover that his description matched perfectly with her mother's prediction. Without hesitation, she did everything in her power to save him, knowing that this was the moment that her mother had been waiting for.
"You're amazing , Mother!" Alice's astonishment was not lost on Evangeline, who simply smiled in response.
But what Evangeline had just accomplished was nothing short of extraordinary, even among the ranks of supernatural beings. Her ability to see into the future had been a part of her long before she became an Original vampire.
And as it turned out, she was not the only Original to have possessed different types of incredible powers prior to their transformation. It was a well-kept secret among their kind, one that only a select few were privy to.
"What's our next move?" Alice inquired, her mind already racing with possibilities. Should she leave DSAS now that her mission was complete?
"You stay undercover, Alice. It's not time yet for you to leave," Evangeline replied with an air of authority, as if she had already anticipated her question.
"As you wish, Mother," Alice replied with a deep respect for her mother. She knew better than to question Evangeline's decisions, especially when it came to matters of the supernatural.
"We're heading to California," Evangeline announced. "I have something there that can awaken my big brother."
She knew that she couldn't stay in New York for too long. Despite being one of the few remaining Originals, she was weakened and vulnerable. There were those who believed they were invincible, but that was a dangerous way of thinking.
She knew that there were ways to kill a supernatural, and Vincent was one of them. While other supernaturals may have seen his brother as a threat, Evangeline saw his power as a potential blessing. After all, she had seen enough of the world to know that immortality was cursed.
