Just a blemish in an orphanage that smelled of old bread and candle wax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, darling,\" said the woman beside him. Her voice was soft, perfumed with grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ve discussed this again and again. After her death...\" she paused, sorrow briefly touching her golden eyes, \"it’s too quiet. I miss the laughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl stared at her, the most beautiful woman she’d ever seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hair flowed like molten gold, her dress a cascade of red silk and diamond petals that shimmered like roses under sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything about her glowed with warmth, with life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" the man said finally, his tone decisive. \"Let’s do this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lady turned toward the small girl crouched in the corner. \"How about her? What’s your name, little one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl blinked, uncertain. She pointed to herself. \"M–me? Um... Skunk?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The couple laughed lightly. Perhaps they thought it was a joke. It wasn’t. It was the only name she’d ever known.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orphanage keeper shuffled forward, looking uneasy. \"Ah, she’s... not quite normal, My Lord. Perhaps it’s best to pick another. Her hair, well...\" he lowered his voice to a whisper that still carried, \"it’s said to bring misfortune.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman frowned. \"Nonsense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knelt down, her scent of roses filling the girl’s world. \"It’s just hair and a beautiful one at that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She brushed a stray lock from the girl’s face and smiled. \"How about Fleur? Because you are as lovely as a flower, dear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fleur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The word struck her like sunlight. It was the first time someone had spoken her into existence with kindness. The first time she felt seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet how cruel that memory felt now. As her savior now turns into a monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh, wake up! What’s her name again?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s Fleur! I think we should move now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man’s voice, sharp with panic. A woman’s voice, frantic but trembling with relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They echoed in her skull like church bells in a hangover, impossible to ignore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fleur’s lashes fluttered. Her head throbbed. For a moment, she couldn’t remember where she was until the memory hit her like a hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fight. The vines. Sarah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes snapped open, and she shot upright, gasping as pain tore through her abdomen. A hole in her stomach, half-regenerated, still raw and burning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it...\" she hissed, clutching the wound. \"What the hell was in that potion?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t think that’s important right now!\" Lulu shouted, pointing upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shadow fell over them. A vine thicker than a carriage wheel came crashing down like a hammer of God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three scattered just in time, the impact splintering the earth beneath them. Dirt and petals exploded into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah’s laughter rang through the maze, shrill and distorted, echoing from everywhere at once. The walls of roses pulsed like veins, alive with her power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come to me, my daughter!\" Sarah’s voice sang through the air, maddened and sweet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t you wish to finish what you started? Kill your mother, you ungrateful little weed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch...\" Fleur clicked her tongue, rage simmering behind her grimace. \"That damn hag...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She darted between the twisting roots, her boots splashing through green puddles as she scanned the distorted garden. There has to be a core. There’s always a core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was how the Crow worked. Everything these Corvane freaks made had one, something pulsing at the heart of their corruption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is it always a core?\" she snarled, slashing through a vine that lunged at her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck, Corvane!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fleur hissed, clutching her side as another vine tore through the ground like a serpent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rolled aside just in time, the vine slamming into the wall with enough force to crack the stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dirt exploded around her, raining down in clumps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both of you, split up! Don’t let it corner you!\" she barked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Easy for you to say!\" David shouted back as another vine swung down like a hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dove, nearly crushed as it shattered the ground where he stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lulu’s voice trembled, \"Fleur! It’s everywhere!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maze was alive now: every root, every leaf pulsing with Sarah’s malice. Fleur could feel it crawling under her skin, the bloodlust in the air, her mother’s laughter echoing from every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh come now, sweetheart,\" Sarah’s voice cooed, slithering from the vines like poison smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can’t fight me in my own garden. This maze listens to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fleur bit her lower lip and closed her eyes. She had a way to end this, but it meant burning all her Sanguine Veins, losing her power temporarily in the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two, listen to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David and Lulu turned toward her as she continued, her voice steady despite the tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t let those vines reach me from either side. I just need two minutes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?! Are you insane? That’s impossible!\" Lulu shouted, panic breaking through her tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don’t have a choice, do we?\" David said, already bracing himself for the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fleur shook her head. \"No. Let’s do this, I’m trusting my body to both of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them nodded and drew their weapons—David with his blade, Lulu with her dagger—as they slashed and sliced through the vines that came their way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Fleur knelt down, pressing her hands against the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her veins pulsed out from her skin, forming a powerful barrier so Sarah couldn’t strike her from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of her veins spread rapidly across the soil, searching for Sarah’s \"brain,\" latching onto the roots like hunters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some tendrils even attacked the nerves of the vines, sending waves of pain through them to weaken her control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A piercing scream tore through the garden as the ground trembled beneath them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"YOU! HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME!\" Sarah shrieked, her voice shaking the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I WON’T LET IT END LIKE THIS! NEVER!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soil split open as massive buds burst from the earth, blooming into grotesque monsters of twisted vines and thorns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They began to advance toward Fleur. David and Lulu froze for a heartbeat, their throats dry, before gripping their weapons tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lulu,\" David said firmly, his tone low and steady despite the chaos, \"keep your head down and stay behind me. Guard my back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lulu nodded nervously. She knew this was suicide. David was already wounded and though stronger than any ordinary man, he was still just human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And her? She hadn’t even evolved yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monsters didn’t come alone, Sarah’s laughter came with them..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh, a human and vampire shield? Interesting. But you won’t be able to defeat my garden! Just give up and give Fleur to me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David gritted his teeth. \"Shut up,\" he growled, slashing a vine that lunged from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sword cut through it with a metallic hiss. The creature burst into sap and petals that smelled like rotting perfume.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"David!\" Lulu shouted, spinning to block a thorned tendril.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her dagger glinted before she sliced it clean, but another monster rose behind her, a humanoid mass of roses and bark, its mouth opening with a shriek that didn’t sound human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lulu’s clone intercepted, jumping onto its back and driving both daggers down its spine until it fell apart, twitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah’s voice purred again, distant yet everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, look at you! A man with a dying body and a child still pretending to be useful. Such brave, foolish toys. Do you think you can protect her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep talking,\" David muttered, his breathing ragged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swung again, cleaving through another flower beast. His movements were sharp, efficient, but slower than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood leaking from his wound darkened the fabric at his stomach and added to the fact that he was just fighting with Elle...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was at his limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lulu darted across the field, her clones splitting into four now, each one fending off a different monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t tell which one was real anymore; all of them bled the same, screamed the same, fought the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Left!\" David shouted, but it was too late. One of her clones got impaled through the chest by a vine and vanished into mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lulu gasped, \"They’re multiplying too fast! This isn’t working!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then make it work!\" he barked back, slicing down another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blade carved a perfect arc, severing three at once, but his knees buckled slightly after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground heaved beneath them. Roots erupted like spears, aiming straight for Fleur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David threw himself forward, cutting down one—then another—until his arm trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah laughed again, sweet and cruel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re slowing down, little knight. Shall I finish you before she even opens her eyes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Try it, bitch,\" David spat, wiping the blood from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swung his sword one last time—faster than before, adrenaline drowning the pain—cutting a path for Lulu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as he took a step forward, a thick vine burst from the soil beneath him and impaled his stomach, reopening the old wound and twisting cruelly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David’s breath hitched. His blade slipped from his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lulu screamed, \"David!\" as more vines coiled around him like snakes, dragging him backward into the thorns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah’s voice sang through the air, low and delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One down,\" she whispered, \"two more to bloom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1602,"2026-06-03T11:48:03.951Z","2026-06-03T11:48:07.607Z",1,"novelbin.me","a6da401bfe12999a6caf7f91b30ba6758e003176d7cbb10ff650dda2cb2f92a6","my-stepmom-is-a-vampire-her-entire-bloodline-wan-chapter-119","my-stepmom-is-a-vampire-her-entire-bloodline-wan-chapter-117",244,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-stepmom-is-a-vampire-her-entire-bloodline-wan-cover.jpg"]
