Lucian pulled off the white duvet that had been stained in blood and carried it off to the bathroom. The smell of blood filled his senses and he would have killed her right there I'd his father had not taught him the art of controlling his desire and need for blood. He could still hear her son's from the room and honestly, he wanted to laugh so hard at how petty she was being right now. By the time he returned to the room, Anna had already put on her panties and was standing before her wardrobe, searching for a dress to wear. He walked towards her and put his arms around her, pulling her back so she could lean back against his chest. "I honestly don't know why you're crying like this happened before a whole lot of people. It's just me and you and there's nothing you should be embarrassed over." "Okay." Was all she gave in reply. She pulled away from him and returned to searching for what to wear. "Oh, come on. Is that all you have to say in reply? I know y
SPIKY LOVEDEEP WITHIN BURNT SIDE FOREST, MORNING HOURS."Mmmm" Anna moaned softly as she woke up and stretched her body on the forest floor.Anna slowly took a study of her surroundings, the little birds were flitting noisily from tree to tree while deers walked gracefully around munching on the dew soaked grass.Anna stood up and brushed her dress while checking her body for any bruises or insect bites.After a short body check,Anna began wandering farther into the forest to continue the search for her rabbits."Bunnies, Bunnies" Anna yelled gently into the forest as she trudged on."Bunnies, Bun...."Anna came to a halt and held her chest as she saw a young man lying on the forest floor with blood on his shirt."Oh dear, I wonder what may have befallen this man."Anna mused to herself as she crouched a little to feel the man's neck for a pulse.As Anna's hands touched the man's neck, he let out a weak groan of pain and turned his head aside, still unconscious.Anna out of fear wit
[ 2 weeks in the past ]FIRST DAWNThere was a time when the universe was still young, the stars raced across the night sky, skirting across the sun's width and then zooming out to expunge their energy in their fiery downward tumble to Earth. The Earth, the new born races called it Mother Earth because of her caring and uncaring tendencies towards them juxtaposed side by side in the form of heavy home destroying rainfalls and fertile soil, angry storms that hurtled down the mountains to wipe out months worth of plantations and freshly grown trees which the Earth's inhabitants used in making homes and at some point, fortifications.Three major races inhabited this rugged firma terra. There was the race of Humans who lived, loved and prospered, hurdled and safe behind their high stone walls in the Kingdom Of Greelania ruled by King Stefan to the West. The second race was that of the Vampires, in local human tongue they called them "The pale skins" for it was considered a bad omen to say
SUMMERS KISSSome people would say that life was all about toiling and sweating under the harsh kiss of the Sun while trying to eke out a living and set a few more morsels on the table.....but not Anna.Anna believed that life is indeed a bed of roses and sweet smelling fruits and all creatures should be filled with kindness for one another while trying to redeem those beings whose souls might have been given up to a life of wanton violence and anger.Some would say she thought this way because she happened to be the daughter of King Stefan but as the saying goes "people will say whatever they want to say, no matter what you do" Anna never cared less."Anna!!" Screamed the palace matron as she looked all over the palace garden for Anna. "Anna, come out this instant or I'll feed your rabbits to the dogs".Anna, who had been hiding beside one of the statues in the garden, then ran out gleefully while sprinkling a handful of petals over the matron's head."Anna, go to your room this inst
[2 weeks in the past]FALSUM IGNIS"Let me go this instant, I demand you let me go this instant". The travellers that were caught by the Werewolves scouts had been screaming and shouting from Burnt Side Forest all the way to Werekult.Damon, the Second-In-Command of Werekult who was speaking to one of the werewolves guards had swiveled his head towards the source of the screaming and began marching there."Venus, report!" Was the harsh sound of Damon's voice as he got to the holding pens for the prisoners.Venus, the Beta Wolf in command of the Wolf scouts, handed over one of the prisoners she was holding in chains to one of her subordinates and walked over to where Damon was standing."My Lord, these humans were caught roaming close to the edges of our borders in Burnt Side Forest. I had them captured and brought back for interrogation".Damon with a nod signalled to Venus to move aside for him to inspect the human prisoners.Damon walked with an inquisitive look in his eyes as he ap
[ A week and 3 days in the past ]BLOOD FATHERMost people knew Widows Woods only as the entrance to Blood-Father Kolden's demesne....What they didn't know was that Widows Woods was also the site of a mass slaughter of human soldiers many ages ago after a treaty between the humans and the vampires had gone bad.Of course.....that was what earned the forest it's cursed name; Widows Woods.Kleo, the female vampire who had been on a reconnaissance mission deep in Werekult was now jogging through Widows Woods on her way back to Vamparia to report her findings to Kolden, ruler and master of the vampires.Kleo upon reaching the gates of Vamparia was stopped by a sentry stationed atop one of the guard towers that stood on both sides of the kingdom's gates."Identify yourself this instant or be killed" the guard shouted down to Kleo strongly.Kleo immediately removed her hood and looked up to the guard tower."I'm Kleo, a member of Blood-Father Kolden's Murdelia."With a slight nod from abov
[ A week and 3 days in the past ]BLUE BLOODS"So Anna, tell me, what is the purpose of a princess?""To be a beacon of nobility, beauty and integrity to the kingdom."The palace matron gave Anna a smile and a nod as she continued."And what is a noble woman's duty in the order of things.""Uhmmm....to bear kids for the king and groom them in order to keep the royal family name pure and strong".The palace matron then wobbled over to where Anna was sitting and ruffled her shoulder length hair."Well done Princess Anna, you never perform below expectations, now get your books packed up and go eat lunch".Anna with a smile and slight bow replied to the palace matron."Yes matron, thank you for your time".The Matron smiled back at Anna and was on her way out of the lecture room when Josef, the son of Harold the Lord-Militia, stopped by the door."Dear princess Anna, as beautifully stunning as ever."Anna then looked up to the source of the voice and barely managed to produce a smile at
[A Week in the past ]KLEO'S WHISPEROne of the pieces of life-saving advice passed from the older werewolves to younger generations of werewolves was that two classes of individuals thata werewolf should never trust in others to live a long and useful life are snakes and vampires.The rivalry between these two races stretched for Centuries and was one of guile and stealth instead of brutality and open conflict.All these didn't matter to Kleo anyways as she moved with agility into Damon's Quarters in Werekult.It was nighttime in Werekult,Damon was in his room reading the maps which he would give to Venus in order for her not to have any trouble getting into Grenalia when he heard a whisper."Daaaaamon......"Damon, who was as agile as the military commander he is, immediately turned to his back with his dagger out."Who's there?!" he said as He waved his dagger from side to side."Show yourself this instant or I won't be so lenient when I catch you".Kleo with a laugh then flitted
