Demi Sullivan and her wife, Maegan
Sneak peek to what’s to come in the Sullivans generation 5, I’m going to focus more on Demi and her family while they’re visiting Sulani. Not just these two, but also their children and even grandchildren will be joining them ^-^
Old Sullivan Manor ~ Evening
Boston just got off the phone with Damien and walks into the living room to find his mother, Lillian, watching the news, “Hey, momma.”
“Oh, hey honey, what’s up?” She asks him, looking at him. He takes a seat on the couch and smiles.
“So, I just got off the phone with your brother, Damien and you know how we’re starting up that academy for younger vampires?”
She nods, “I do, why?”
“Well, he was discussing it with his wife and they think we should have classes for adult vampires as well,” he tells her.
“Yeah,” she says, listening.
“And I personally think it’s a great idea because it gives inexperienced adults like, I’m sorry but like you and Damien’s wife a chance to learn how to defend yourselves.”
“Uh huh, I see,” she chuckles, “would you like for me to sign up for those classes?”
Boston nods, “I would prefer if you did, momma. I know you’re not completely defenseless, but it would make me feel better knowing that you’re safe working with us, you know?”
“I understand, honey.” She smiles, “When do your classes start?”
“They start next week, but I’m going to be going back to the school tomorrow night if you want to come with me and sign up,” he tells her. Her smile widens.
“Alright, that sounds like a wonderful idea, dear. Thank you for thinking about me.” He gets up and gives his mother a loving hug.
“Of course, momma.”
Damien’s Home - Morning
“Alright, so Boston and I just got word that the Windenburg cemetery just got renovated underneath for the revival of the Sullivan Vampire Academy,” Damien tells his wife, “and umm..well, would you wanna be part of the staff?”
“Honey, I couldn’t...I know just as much as our twins do, if anything I’d have to be a student myself,” she explains to him.
“And, you could be.”
“That may very well be true, but I’m twice the age of most of those vampires enrolling into this academy. Now...if you had a class specifically for older and undereducated vampires like myself..I’d reconsider.”
A smug grin creeps onto Damien’s face, “Really? Well, then you better start reconsidering baby ‘cause as of this moment, I’m adding that to the necessary classes.”
Nirvana rolls her eyes and giggles at her husband, “Alright, just make sure that’s alright with Boston.”
“Oh, I’m sure he’ll be fine with it, it’ll be a good class for my older sisters who’ve been out of the loop and one of them being his mom. He’ll love knowing she’s there and not near the...Straud-Sullivan manor and that she’s not alone,” he tells her.
“You mean Lillie, right? I thought she had a husband and another kid?” She asks.
“She does...well, a husband..but he can take care of himself while she’s taking our classes and as for the other kid...well, she’s the reason my mother went into hiding...” He goes quiet for a moment. “Where Lillian is..it’s cursed and dark..and she just needs a change of scenery and pace..” He looks up at his wife, “So when you and she take classes together, be a friend to her ‘cause she could use some new friends too.”
“Oh, of course. I’ve only met her once, so this will be a great opportunity for me to really get to know her,” she says to him, smiling.
He smiles back, “Thank you.” He takes her hand and kisses it.
Thaila looks down at the wooden floor and gives a great sigh, “Ah suppose ya at least deserve to know some of our Mistress.”
“I’m listening,” He says, assuring her.
“Alright, well, somethin’ to note is she’s a widow to 8 children..well, 7.”
Garret’s eyes widen and his jaw drops, “...she had 8 kids?” Thails nods.
“Not really the part to be focusin’ on, boy, but yes. Only 7 of ‘em are currently alive and have families of their own. From what Mistress Veronica told me, the only child of ‘ers not alive actually has a great legacy behind her and ah’ve yet to meet her current heiress..even the Mistress has barely seen her herself.”
“Wow...,” Garret says, still listening intently.
“Anyhow, we're supposed to be focusin’ on the fact our Mistress is a widow. So, ‘bout..16 years or so her one and only love and husband passed away..he was taken from her by others of our kind...” Thaila grew silent, hating having to say that last part. “And since then...over those years...it’s put a great toll on her as ya’ve seen. Without her husband, she’s lost the will or need to hide her true form and it’s even clouded her own judgment.”
Garret nods, understanding.
“There was one more thing, but ah’ve lost track of it now. Just know, if she ever swings at ya for whatever reason, it’s not ya fault. At least now ya know why she is the way she is..”
He nods again, “Yeah...So, um...what do we do now while she rests?”
“Look for her a new home, ‘cause this place brings way too many memories,” she tells him as she heads toward the stairs. He follows her.
Veronica’s two pupils, Garrett Poe and Thalia Maddox, rush into the kitchen to find their mentor hunched over, holding her head and hissing at the floor.
“Madam Sullivan!” Thalia shouted as she runs to her and keeps her from falling, “She’s havin’ a mental breakdown!” As she’s restraining their teacher, she looks to her partner and his eyes widen, panicking.
“W-What am I suppose to do?!”
She rolls her eyes, “Remember that vial ah handed ya earlier? Toss it to me. Now!” He nods, pulling out a small vial of purple liquid and tosses it to her. After catching it, pops it open and forces it into Veronica’s mouth.
“So..what now..?” Garrett asks, staring at the two of them. He notices the vial soothed their mistress.
“The after effects, come ‘ere and take ‘er upstairs to rest,” Thalia demands him.
“After effects..?” He walks over to them, “What..does that mean?” He feels a hand caress his bicep and looks over to see it’s his mentor, “Uh..madam?” She grins at him.
“She’s hallucinatin’, just get her upstairs before she decides to nick the other side of yer neck.”
He nods, but before he can get her anyway, she places her hand on his neck, he mouths ‘help’ to Thalia. To her dismay, she sighs and pulls him from Veronica. “Go upstairs. She will follow.”
“O-Okay..” He gulps and rushes up the stairs with Veronica following him.
“Wait! Don’t ru-”
She winces as she hears a loud thump from the top floor. “Thalia!! She’s on me! HELP! MADAM! NO! I’VE ALREADY BEEN BITTEN!! NOT THERE! THALIA!”
“Ugggghhhh, fine I’m comin’!! An’ stop shoutin’ ye’re only makin’ it worse!!”
Late at Night in the Sullivan Estate
Veronica is wondering about her home when she’s stops involuntarily and is sent traumatic flashbacks from the back of her mind. She winces in pain as it gives her an unforgivable migraine, uttering for help, “Mad..dox..! P-Poe..! I..require assistance..!”
Thalia stares at Veronica as she sleeps and quietly closes the door, “Finally,” she mutters. She hears steps coming toward her and flinches as she hears her name being shouted from the other end of the long hall.
“Thalia!!”
“GARRET!” She whispers yells, “Quiet..! Ah just got the mistress to sleep..!!”
“Sorry..”
She sighs, asking him, “What is it?”
“I just..I have..a lot of questions. About you, Ms. Sullivan herself, and why she needs us so much,” he admits to her. She scowls up at him.
“Are ya serious? Ya couldn’t have just waited until ah got back downstairs?”
“I'm sorry..again..I-I guess I could’ve..I didn’t realize you were still putting her to rest..” She takes a deep breath.
“It’s fine, Garret. Ah forget yer still new to..all o’ this. What do ya want answered first?”
“Well..uh..who is Ms. Veronica Sullivan?” He asks. “She seems really important to people..like..a lot of people and especially you.”
Thalia gives him a small smile, “Who is she? Ah shouldn’t be surprised ya’ve never heard o’ her since you grew up a sheltered mortal, but..she’s a literal vampire queen. She saw the world as a place to compromise with mortals as she herself is..half human. She wanted nothin’, but good to come out of her reign and she has..it’s just..now..” She looks towards the floor.
“She’s..unhappy and unstable..and it’s hard for her to keep it up, right?”
“Yeah..but ya don’t understand why she’s like that..”
“Then help me understand, Thalia..”
Queen Veronica Sullivan
She was once a loving mother and adoring wife, but since her husband’s passing she’s become...distraught as a lonely widow and is finally losing touch with reality. She has ‘episodes’ that can put her through great amounts of physical and emotional pain. This is why she’s taken in two caretakers to help her as she searches for a new heir to take her place as head of the family.
Since she lost the love of her life, she’s no longer able to hide her true form to mortals. In order to leave this miserable life, she needs to make a consensual trade between her and a distant relative -preferably a woman- and all she wants in return is to be at peace 6 feet underground with her late beloved Toby.
This will be the story line of generation 5 of the Sullivans and it will be the last time Veronica Sullivan will be seen alive.
