Jan Valek x (F) Reader 2/2

Elizabeth arrives at her destination with Lucy , unbeknownst to them not only Jack Crow was behind her, someone from her past shows up an sees the reunion.

Elizabeth stepped out of the car and headed to the back and unstrapped Lucy from her car seat. She looked around to check if the coast was clear before proceeding to the spot.

The place looked deserted, but she kept her guard up. Elizabeth picked up Lucy and placed her inside a medium sized storage shed and whispered to her, “Do not move from this spot or make a sound, no matter what you see or hear. You hear me?” Lucy nodded in agreement and Elizabeth closed the door and walked toward the front of the Territorial Prison.

Meanwhile, Jack caught up with Elizabeth to see what she was up to, but was very careful not to be seen. As this was happening, Elizabeth looked around the area and called out, “Valek?” But there was no answer, only the sounds of the wind blowing through the trees and the crickets chirping. 

Before she could call out to him again, a familiar voice from behind her, said, “It has been a while, Elizabeth.” She turned around to see Valek standing before her, with a small smug, tugging at his lips.

Elizabeth walked toward him and said, “It has only been three years. I do believe that you did receive messages from my friend who is staying at my apartment for me until I returned. I hope you didn’t hurt her.” As he walked toward her, he replied, “Don’t worry, I didn’t kill her, nor did I lay one fang or finger on her.”Jack watched them embrace from his hiding spot. Elizabeth did not want to let go of him, but she had to sometime. Finally, they broke the embrace.

“Where is our daughter?” Valek asked. She replied,“She’s here.” She turned to the direction of the storage shed and called out to Lucy. The shed door opened and Lucy peaked out her head to see what was going on. “It’s all right, Lucy.” Lucy began to run toward her mother and immediately clung to her legs. Valek bends down to get a closer look at his daughter. 

Valek said in a gentle voice to Lucy, “Hello Lucy, do you remember me?” Lucy cautiously stepped forward, and immediately, she nodded. “The last time I saw you was when you were just born, it was a shame that you both had to leave in such a hurry. I’m so happy to finally see you again. ” He said he placed his pale hand against Lucy’s rosy cheek.

As this was happening, a voice from behind them said, “Well, isn’t this sweet?” All three of them turned around to the direction of the voice, and was shocked to see that it was no other than Elizabeth’s ex-boyfriend, Geoffrey, with a crossbow in his hand. “One big, happy family.” he said as he was getting closer. Valek growled, placed both Elizabeth and Lucy behind him as his fangs extended. He raised his crossbow at them and said with a psychotic smirk to Elizabeth,“I told you I wasn’t giving up, but you didn’t listen.”

Geoffrey pointed the crossbow right at Valek. As he step forward, he said to the group, “I’m not here to start a fight, I’m only here to take what belongs to me and be on my merry way. ” Elizabeth yelled out at him, “I’m not your property, I don’t belong to you! And neither does my daughter!”

What Geoffrey said next pissed off Valek, “I could care less about the brat. She can stay here with your baby daddy.” How dare he insult his daughter? Who does he think he is? But before Valek could do anything, Jack jumped out of his hiding spot with his crossbow pointed at him, “How about you drop your crossbow, or you will be the first to go into your grave.” 

Geoffrey and the group looked over to see Jack pointing the crossbow at him. Elizabeth was shocked that he actually followed her when she told him she had to do this alone, of course, Jack never listened.  Geoffrey chuckled and pointed the crossbow at Jack.“I don’t believe that’s going to happen. I’m going to take Elizabeth with me, and you are not going to interfere.”

Jack looked over to Elizabeth, and said to her, “Valek, if you want to earn my trust, I suggest you look after Elizabeth and Lucy. Get them out of here, I’ll take care of him.” But Geoffrey I said, “She’s not going anywhere with that bloodsucking leech.” Almost immediately Valek had this smirk form on his face as he said, “Not if my flock has anything to do with it.” As soon as he said this, the rest of his vampire fledglings came out of their hiding places, and began to surround Geoffrey.

“Leave the vampire hunter, get the one that you’re surrounding.” Valek commanded his fledglings. As this was happening, the sun was beginning to rise, and it wasn’t much time before they were all going to be turned to dust. Almost immediately, Valek grabbed both Lucy and Elizabeth, and made a big jump to her SUV while the rest of the fledgling had to retreat back inside the building, leaving Jack and Geoffrey to have a standoff.

“I’m not leaving here without Elizabeth, even if takes me to rid of anyone, including you that are in my way.” Geoffrey said as he pointed the crossbow at Jack. And Jack said, “I don’t know what’s it going to take to get through that thick skull yours, that she is no longer with you, and I made a promise that I will protect her even if she’s with Valek.”

Before Geoffrey could pull the trigger on the crossbow, he heard the engine of Elizabeth’s SUV start up. He looked over and saw Elizabeth driving off down the road with both Valek in the front seat and Lucy in the back. Luckily, for Valek , the windows are well tinted and UV safe. But not dark enough to be pulled over, according to the law.

This was a great opportunity for Jack to take action now Geoffrey was caught off guard. Almost immediately, Jack pulled the trigger of his crossbow and the arrow whipped through the air and straight into Geoffrey’s back, severing his spinal cord, paralyzing him from the waist down. Jack kicked the crossbow away from Geoffrey’s hand, bender down to his level where he laid.

“Don’t worry, you’ll survive for the next 12 hours. That is if you survive the vampires that are hiding away inside this building just waiting to feast on you. And of course I do doubt they’ll let you live after what you just try to do. Enjoy the sun burn.” Jack said as he placed his sunglasses over his eyes, picked up the crossbow that he kicked away and walked to his truck, Geoffrey cussing out to him. Of course, Jack ignored it. He turned over to him and said, with a smile on his face, “You can call me every name in the book. I’ve heard it all, and I said them all.” Jack hopped into his truck and drove straight to Elizabeth’s home.

Epilogue

Sometime later, Elizabeth was able to come up with a cure for Katrina, even though Jack and Tony said that it was irreversible. But it was possible.

Katrina was cured from her vampirism before she could turn fully undead.

Including Tony, who was recently bitten by another vampire in the last fight.

It is unknown of what became of Geoffrey. But there are doubts that he may not have survived Valek’s fledglings feasting on him. So come to believe that he is dead.

There was some peace between Jack and Valek, despite him killing his group of hunters/friends.

As for Valek, Elizabeth and Lucy… Elizabeth returned to the bar, now promoted as manager.

Valek got a job as a night doctor at the hospital, right close to Elizabeth’s job.

As for Lucy, not only she would be starting kindergarten, but she was just getting her trainer fangs in.(Don’t worry, she knows how to control her thirst.)🤣🤣🤣

Valek decided from now on, him, and his fledglings were only hunt those who wish to do harm on others.

“There’s always hope.” She risked putting her arms around him then, and very softly extricated Rosemary’s hand from his grip. “We find the boy first. Then we make sure the fey never do.”

“Not until we’re ready for them, at least,” Jem said, a note of steel entering his voice.

There were those who believed that because Jem was so kind, so capable of gentleness and generosity, because Jem loved so selflessly, that Jem was weak. There were those who suspected he was not capable of violence or vengeance, who assumed they could hurt Jem and the ones he loved with impunity, because he did not have it in him to strike back.

Those who believed this were wrong.
