After trying the door handle several times, October realized that Alistair had really locked her in the room."Please let me out," October plead, doubting anyone could hear her.She banged on the door several times. "You said I could go anywhere, so why lock me in here? I don't even see the point of that stupid garden. Roses for Rose are just dumb."October sighed."Please let me out," October said again, before leaning her head on the door.Soon she gave up on her pleas, because she knew that the cruel vampire wouldn't take pity on her. And she was sure that if she kept up with the begging, then Alistair would appear to hurt her."Just want to go home." October held in head in her hands, fighting off tears. "If not, at least allow me more freedom. Without anyone always following me around."Just then, October looked over to the balcony when she felt a warm breeze blowing in. It was still open.A thought came to her mind, so she quickly hurried over to it. Then looked down to see how
"October, wake up, you need to wake up," a voice mumbled. "Remember, you have to make your escape.""Who are you?" October asked. She tried to see the face of the female who was speaking to her but she whatever reason, she was hiding her face."Someone who needs to leave as well. Please, go through the gate and leave it open for us.""Us?" October questioned."Me, leave the gate open for me so I can leave."In her sleep, October was laughing, which started the servant, who was placing food on the table beside her bed."Do you think I'm an idiot? I won't leave any gates open for you, and I suggest that you leave my mind. I can tell that you are no good.""He will kill you.""Don’t worry about me. I will get out of here myself. I don't need you. Now leave." October waved her hand, which in turn caused the hand of her physical form to move as well.When October woke up, she had a throbbing headache and found the sunlight to be too bright. She looked around the room, but Alistair was nowh
"I don't need to impose my King, but shouldn't your bride be a part of our meetings?" A feminine voice asked.Alistair looked over at the woman, who spoke. She was wearing too much make-up, and he vaguely remembered her talking to October."She doesn't fully understand our world. In fact, she is in the library right now reading about our history." Alistair told her.The lady cocked her head to the side. "Right, but I must ask. Is she smart enough to comprehend any she reads? And why leave a human unattended? What if something should happen to her?"Alistair narrowed his eyes at her. “What are you employing, Gertrude?"Gertrude shrugged at him. "I don't know. She is human."Alistair looked at her. “Well, nothing will ever happen to her. She is under my protection and twenty-four-hour watch."Gertrude gave him a smile. "That's what you said the last time. You bride, what was her name again?"Alistair hissed and got to his feet. “Don't even go there! What happened was an accident."Gertr
"A Lore-being age just like normal humans until they reach eighteen, they become immortal at this age. But even so, they can still be killed. When they are fully immortals, they are also more aware of themselves, their powers, and their mate if he or she is already born and is of age as well."October nodded. "But what about the dying part? How can they die then come back? Because clearly these two girls are alive.""Oh that, an immortal can die, but only when killed in a specific way. They are reborn, and can be reborn many times, unless a blood ritual is done to prevent. Until they become of age, they won't have any memory."October looked up at Kristolf. She noticed a crazed look in his eyes, but brushed it off because she saw the same look in Alistair's eyes most of the time."Are they born to the same parents, or in the same family? How long would rebirth take?"Onyx moved his head from side to side. “Yes and no, it takes an immortal a long time to age, so they tend to have a lot
Alistair roared, pushing away October. She used that as an opportunity to run out of the room and down a random hallway. She tripped several times, but got up running to get away from what was to come.She could hear him shouting her name, and swore she felt the place shake, but she kept running. She bumped into a female that was carrying a mop and bucket, but of them tumbled to the ground."I'm sorry." October scrambled to her feet, then ran off again.She soon stopped to catch her breath, leaning against a wall, then a fit of laughter found its way out of her mouth. She never enjoyed hurting anyone before, but she had to admit that what she just did felt good, Alistair seemed to bring out the worst in her.October stop laughing when she saw Alistair right there before her. He had a murderous look on his face as he stared at her with red eyes."Alistair." She let out, noticing that the fork was still lodged in his neck."October," he said."I'm--''Alistair raised a hand, cutting Oct
October held onto her knees as she lost the contents of her stomach, she remain in that position for a while to catch her breath. Alistair helped her over to a seat so she could steady herself. Then hand her a handkerchief. After wiping her mouth, October looks around the place to see that they decorated it for Halloween. "Where are we?" She asked. "Do you like it?" He countered. "I mean, it's not bad at all." October said, watching everyone as they go about. "This is a mutual ground, where vampires, witches, wolves and other Lores come together to show off their skills and have a night of fun. Some also go into the human world to mess with them. They don’t call it the darkest day for nothing.’’ “Never knew Lores celebrated things like this." “We do. Like I said, most use it as an opportunity to show off.’’ “But don’t wolves and vampires hate each other?’’ ’’We do, but we are on Stoll’s land, so most vampires keep themselves in check. And even with me here, the wolves wouldn’
"My King, I am sorry to disturb you," the man placed a news paper in front of Alistair, "and your family will return soon."Alistair waved the man off, then sipped from his glass full of blood. He looked at the image and read the article.'After nearly a month, there is still no sign of October Summer. Her father is to hold a press conference later today.' Alistair dropped the paper on the floor."You should let her talk to them." Dave walked out of the shadows to stop before Alistair's throne."Right, then what? They will just search harder. She might even tell them where she is. If her father is such a well known and respected doctor, he is bound to have connections, and will try to come for her.""You might be right, you might be wrong." Dave said.Alistair shook his head, looking back down at the newspaper. "She doesn't fully trust me."Dave looked at Alistair with unseen eyes. “Maybe if you didn't keep things from her."Alistair thought about it. "I am trying, but--"Dave cut him
A brisk knock at the door interrupted October, who was deep in thought. She rushed over to it and flung the door open to see a short, stubby man standing there with his pig nose held high in the air."Yes?" October raised a brow at him.He cleared his throat before speaking. "Lady October, you are wanted downstairs. Master Alistair wishes to speak with you before he leaves.''October bit her tongue from laughing at the high pitch squeaky sound his voice made."Lady October," the man said again."Its just October," she told him. "And where is Alistair going?""He will tell you when you get there."October dragged on a pair of sneakers, then left the room, wondering what the great urgency was."I have never been requested downstairs before," October said, but the man didn't reply."This place should have an elevator and electricity." October complained after walking for a while.The man just walked on, not paying October much attention.She stopped when she got to the top of the stairs.
"Be nice to your sister," Horatio scolded their son Shawn, who pushed Hazel down, but picked her up and brushed off her jeans after getting into trouble.Leo snuck up behind them, jumping on Shawn's back."Hey," Shawn cried out, falling to the ground.Hazel laughed, jumping on him as well.Out of nowhere, Skylar joined the pile."Leave them, they are just playing." Scarlet stopped Horatio when he tried to get up.Their children were six years old now but acted much older."Leo reminds me of you." Horatio kissed Scarlet softly on her lips."Eww!" the quadruplets said together.Looking away from their parents, Shawn covered his eyes, while his siblings giggled.Scarlet smiled at them. "May said that Hazel looks just like my mom. And I think Leo looks like you. The only thing is, he has red hair.""Umm," was Horatio's only reply."Shawn looks like me as well, but with a little mix of your features," he said, kissing the top of her head."We sure make lovely children." Horatio kissed Scar
"Kera, are you ok?" Scarlet touched her shoulder to feel it shaking."No, my father killed my mother. He then lied that Horatio was the one who had done it. Why would he do that?" Kera cried.Horatio leaned his head to the side. "Matthew killed Catherine? I thought-" he paused to think about it."He told me she went out to seek some information. When your mother didn't return, he went to look for her, then later came back saying she was dead." Horatio placed a hand on her shoulder."I'm sorry that this happened to you, and I never had a hand in the death of your mother."Kera wiped at her nose. "I know you don't. I saw when he did it in their room. He said he saw you leaving the room and that I mustn't trust you, but he didn't know I saw the entire thing, he must have read my mind and that's why he took me to Magnus, but why did he kill mom?" Kera sobbed. "He never taught me anything. Mom was the one to always tell things and show me how to use my powers, so why did he kill her?""This
Scarlet made her way to the crystal cave, to put the red crystal back in its place and cast a spell so that no one can ever reach it again.She also hoped that it would restore the village to what it once was when it was back in its place.Scarlet, Kera, Elijah, and May had gone ahead of the others after the cave refused their entrance. "Hey, May. Remember, you said an ancestor of mine might be from this clan? Is that why the cave allowed me to enter with you?" Kera asked. Elijah glanced at her, noticing that after the war three days ago, and all the training with Scarlet, she was much braver and more confident now. Scarlet asked the river nymphs for entrance, but they start playing around, splashing her with water. "You little." Scarlet cast a spell, making a gigantic wave that washed the nymphs ashore."Scarlet!" May scolded her.Scarlet stopped laughing and helped them back into the water. "Scarlet that was so totally not nice, not cool at all." A nymph told her. Then the stai
April placed a hand over her mouth as she dodged a warlock's fist, then vaporized. Scarlet stood up suddenly. "This all ends now." She began to draw energy from the earth, then let it out. Everyone was thrown off their feet, while it dissolved most of the enemies into nothing. Those who were still stupid enough to run at her got blasted while her dragons had also changed into beings more malevolent, letting out purple and black fire, burning everything. April traced over to Elijah. "We have to stop her before she kills everyone." Elijah gulped. "But she seems demonic."April pinned him with a look. "You're just as strong. Come on." She dragged him off to where Scarlet was. April told him what to do.Elijah grabbed a hold of Scarlet's hand and start chanting some words, feeling the energy rolling from her to him. He directed it to the sky, blocking out the moon.Scarlet fell to the ground, then got up quickly, snarling at April and Elijah. She groaned, holding her head, looking
Nikki let out a cry, her sword sliced right through Matthew as if he was made of butter. His body fell to the ground in two halves, and his face now had a peaceful smile as if that was what he wanted all along.Nikki let out another cry.She walked over to where Kera lay and noticed that the hole in her body was getting smaller and smaller.Kera groaned before sitting up. Nikki gasped. "Kera, you're alive, how is that possible?" Kera looked down at her body in shock. "Did Scarlet teach you how to do that?'' Nikki laughed. Kera shook her head still looking at her body. "No, but the crystals she had us plant yesterday worked, so none of us will die." "But what about those who come to fight us?" Nikki asked, helping Kera to her feet."Scarlet only cares about us, not them, and now is not the time for chit-chat. We are in the middle of a war." "Right," Nikki nodded. "Let's go," Kera smiled, and together they ran after some elves, who ran away screaming. ****Elijah was holding his
When they got to the top of the hill, Kera gulped from beside Elijah, who was too engrossed by the strange glow the red moon cast down on them. The place seemed even more sinister than on any other night. The place was also silent and all he could do was wait until the enemies break the line."Do you think Murmalaid would have helped us out in this situation?" Kera asked.Elijah glanced down at her. "No, because things have changed, but even then, I doubt the fates or gods would have let her interfere. There are no more humans to worry about."Kera nodded. "I guess you are right."Scarlet looked over at her brother, giving him a smile because of how brave he was. When she looked back out, she could see the flames that had engulfed parts of the village."It's a good thing we thought of evacuating the village and an even better idea to have our people set up out there."Horatio held her hand."It is a good thing Miley isn't here to see all this. She would be crying by now." Nikki joked,
I sat on the window seat looking outside; I remembered the rain falling hard that day and with it came this horrible feeling I have been feeling for to month now. Selina thought that we should go to the beach. It was her way of trying to cheer me up, but for whatever reason, I didn't want to leave the house, because my mind was telling me that something bad will happen. Selina left me alone after seeing that there was nothing she could do to cheer me up and I went to lie on my bed, thinking that sleep would help. But suddenly there came crashes and screams from downstairs, which I paid no attention to, thinking that it was just someone doing a spell because it was always like that there. We were crazy and always did experiments, so I lay there until a young witch by the name of Cari burst into the room. She was bloody and crying. I looked at her with wide eyes, but before I could go to her, a tall shadow appear in the doorway. The vampire grabbed her by the shoulder, then he bit
Scarlet blinked a few times, only to see that Miley was waving a hand in front of her face. "Are you alright?" Horatio cupped her face in his hands. "Yes, just a memory that had me lost in time." Horatio kissed her and leaned his forehead on hers. Miley came up the hill after. She waited until Horatio moved away before she spoke. "Scarlet, are we still going to have training with you?" Miley asked. Scarlet had a distant look on her face, but she quickly shook it off. "Shouldn't we be training with them, too?" She heard October asking Alistair. "We don't need it," he replied. "Cocky, I like your confidence, vampire, or is it cowardice?" Horatio asked. Gore chuckled. "I can take both of you with my hands behind my back," Alistair told them, then removed his helmet. "Oh there pretty boy, don't want to mess up your hair or get a bruise on your face now, do we?" Horatio mocked. Scarlet glanced at her mate, wondering why he insisted on picking a fight with her vampire. She the
"I don't think this will end well. Some of these guys seem as if they will go at it any moment now," Kate said. And she was right. The tension in the manor was thick, and it wasn't from the pending war. But just from lores being around other lores, they didn't trust. A few more Lores, mostly witches, warlocks, and vampires, had arrived during the time Scarlet was setting up the crystals, which set the wolves on edge and even had a few questioning things. "Are we sure this isn't a setup?" Carmela asked when a warlock who was covered from head to toe in tattoos and piercings walked by her. Kate stared at the man, interested in the iron bars that ran through the bone in his nose, the rings in his brows, and the finger bone that was dangling from his ear. "Yeah, and I don't think I have enough arrow if shit should go sideways. "Don't worry, I don't attack those that are weaker than me." The warlock stopped to say. "Yeah, besides, we are only here because we are excited about the wa
