The moon soon replaced the sun, along with stars that dotted the now dark sky, which had quickly faded away, from a beautiful purple colour. The shade of purple had reminded October of Alistair's eyes, so did the pitch black that it now had."Somewhere out there, Alistair and his family are killing prisoners for their blood. Innocent or not, they are still people." October sighed, looking away from the window, then a chill ran down her spine.October hadn't slept last night. She was on edge for some reason, and with that, she never thought that she would miss Alistair.Her mind was still reeling from what had happened a few days ago. She knew that when Alistair got back, he would be out for blood. She shook her head, trying to keep the thoughts out, but still feared what he would do when he returned and heard what happened. An uneasy feeling now crept through her chest.October took a quick shower, hoping that would help to calm her racing mind, then dragged on some clothes. She tipto
When October woke up, she was in a room she didn't recognised, she tried to move but her body was in pain, and felt heavy.She settled back onto the hard bed then, closed her eyes. Everything that had happened came back to her in a rush.The lies Alistair had believed, him saying how much he hated her and also hooking her up to a chair that caused her unimaginable pain.October tried to turn on her side, but a sharp pain erupted in her chest."I will not cry," October told herself.Just then, the door opened. It made a sound like it was made of metal and scraped against the floor.October opened one eye to see who it was."Here you go princess, sad to see that you are still alive." The girl laughed.October watched as Grace threw a tray down on the floor, causing most of the food there to spill on the floor."Eat up, bitch."October watched Grace for a while as she stood there looking down at her."Not so tough now, are you? The master should have killed you, a little bitch like you d
"Good evening,'' October said, greeting everyone that was at the table.Alistair's mother, along with Daniel, were the only ones to send their greetings to her."Dinner will be ready, and served in the next thirty minutes," Louise said with a bow. Her eyes skipped over October's face. Something like pity flashed in her eyes before she left.October sat uncomfortably in her chair because she was still in pain. She knew that Alistair's blood could heal her because he had done it many times before, but he didn't now. She held back a whimper after shuffling in the chair. She felt weak, broken and there was a pain in her chest, but no-one seems to care.October looked at everyone at the table. Only Daniel seemed to be looking at her. He gave her a small smile. Demetre looked in her direction with a frown.The doors were pushed open, with Alistair walking in like the proud king he was. He took a seat beside October, never looking at her, then started up a conversation with his father and un
All eyes turned to October. She shook her head."I just want to go home." October could hardly get the words out.Onyx gave a nod. "Then I will bring you home. I can even erase your memoirs if you want. I know what is happening to you, you don't deserve any of it."October nodded, wiping her nose with the back of her hand."He is lying to you!" Alistair yelled out.October turned sad eyes on him. "You lie to me everyday Alistair. Ever since I got here, you said that you will never hurt me, that you would change, but you didn't. I don't want to stay here with you, your family, or your servants. All they do is lie, especially Grace. She does everything she can to hurt me, but you turn a blind eye to that. I don't know if you know this, but she threatens to kill me because she is in love with you."Alistair said nothing. He stood there while Grace tried to back further into the room she was in."I am not willing to go with any of you. I just want to go home. If Onyx can do that, then I g
"Ouch." October grit her teeth as Grace pulled at her hair, while Ashley did the strings of her corset."You two must be enjoying doing this." She quipped. "And why must you do it at the same time?"None of them replied, just continued to pull at October's hair and bodice."Can't you loosen it a bit?" October complained, pulling at the front of her bodice.She could hardly breathe, and her head hurt."You will live," Ashley said, then placed a diamond tiara in October's hair when Grace was done.October looked down at herself. She was wearing a yellow ball gown that was too heavy and allowed limited movement. It had a low cut heart-shaped neckline, and the corset hugged October's figure. She also wore a necklace made from pure diamonds and Chandler's earnings."I hope you trip and fall," Grace whispered when Ashley went to the closet to get shoes."Jealous that this isn't you. Still mad I am the one chosen, and not you." October mocked her.Grace hissed, ready to hit October.Alistair
October grabbed two glasses that she hoped was red wine, she took a quick smell of them. "It's rude to smell your food,'' October span around to the voice, only to come face to face with a man. He had a scar that covered more than half of his face, which he tried to hide with his hair long, green. His eyes were also green with blue dotting them. "You are a witch," October said. The man gave her a smile, then said "and they say humans are dumb." Feeling offended, October turned back to the table; the man moved to stand beside her. "The thinner the liquid, the less likely is it to be blood,’’ he told her. October glanced over at him. "I'm Arnell by the way, I am one of the many witches that are in an alliance with this clan of vampires." October said nothing, she sipped from a glass of wine instead. "You must be wondering what happened to my face." Again, October said nothing. "I was attacked by wolves." He spoke. October looked at him now. "I thought that werew
"I must know October; how did you know that it would work?" Arnell asked. October looked up at him from the seat she was huddled on. "I didn't, I just thought that if I did you would hear me," October told him the truth. "What exactly did she do?" Amanda asked crossing her arms. "She sent me a connection." Arnell laughed heartily. All eyes turned to October. "I'm sorry," she said softly. Arnell laughed again. "Sorry, if you hadn't done it, you would have been long dead." A servant walked in then, placed a mug of hot chocolate before October, then left. "So, she did a connection?" Dave asked, thinking it over. "But how, and why to you?" He added. October face heated. "I tried reaching out to Alistair, it didn't work, I thought that since Arnell is a witch, he would be able to do something and break whatever those vampires were doing." Alistair and Demetre came into the room then, both radiating power. Alistair had removed his jacket and waist coat, and also rolled the sleev
"Do I really need to be at this dinner, I mean I hardly even know what is happening. And things seem to happening so fast, one minute we are having a party and the next it's this." October sighed. "Yes, this way you can be informed on what is happening." Alistair responded. "But--" Alistair shook his head cutting her off. "I have to go; the guests have arrived." "Who are even these people?" "You'll see when you get there." "Can't we just pretend that I'm there?" Alistair gave October a look before cupping her cheek, and giving her a quick kiss. She tried to deepen it but he pulled away with a chuckle. "When you are done getting ready, please come down to the dining room?" October simple nodded, then watched as he left. She dragged herself to the bathroom, not really interested in meeting anyone but seeing that she is forced she will go. The only good part about was that she didn't have to dress up. After showering and pulling on a pair of blue jeans, along with a white blou
"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
