I drifted off in my thoughts, wondering where our wedding venue would be. I partially wanted it to be in the gardens, among the most rare of flowers.
"My Aphrodite," Abigor broke the silence and I turned my head in his direction, looking up to meet his eyes, "what if I were to tell you that I hold all the answers?"
"All the answers to which questions, Master Abigor?" I asked him, furrowing my eyebrows in suspicion as I wondered what could be bothering him so much.
"The answers to immortality."

I awoke with a start, gasping for breath and a scream tore past my lips as I sat upright. My eyes looked around my bedroom anxiously for those bright red eyes and long fangs.However, instead of the dark night and a male vampire, my curtains had been drawn open and the sunshine was peeking into my bedroom. There was nothing of threat around me and I swallowed nervously before looking at my hands that were shaking from fear.It all had felt so real. Could it possibly have been a dream?I brought my fingers to my neck where Master Abigor had bitten me yet I felt nothing except my usual skin. No bruise, no pain, nothing of that sort.I settled down and let out a shaky breath as I brought my knees to my chest and smoothed my hands over my hair. I covered my eyes with my hands and sat in silence for a moment so that I could wrap my head around the fact that I had a terrible dream.

Whenever my mind felt clouded with thoughts, doubts and fears, I expressed my emotions and released my frustrations through music and dance. That is why I loved what I did for a living. It was only a bonus that such that brought me relief, brought large fortune for my master.I sat in the music room that Master Abigor had designed for me that had the best of instruments created specifically for me. Today, I sat with a cello between my legs and resting the top piece in between my neck and shoulder as I diligently pulled at the strings.I had one of the only 5 cellos made in our time by an artist in Italy.My eyes were closed as I created a tune with each string pulled. I could feel my worries and concerns slip away with each high string pulled as I continued playing as though I had an entire audience watching me.My face pulled with each string and my ears were pleased with what they heard as I

My hands covered Abigor's with a tight desperate grip as he lightly chuckled near my ear and kept placing sweet kisses on my neck. I shivered, the affection distracting me from my fear of riding a steed.Master Abigor's steed was a big, black and healthy stallion with a coat that shined in the moonlight. It obeyed every command and galloped in such a manner as though it could see in the dark.Master Abigor had his arms wrapped around my body, holding me close to his build as he gripped the reins of the horse to direct its way.What started off as a frightening ride, turned into a wonderful and fun filled experience. Even though we had yet to say any words to each other I enjoyed the way I could feel the strong muscles of the steed move with each confident gallop through the forest.My eyes looked around at all that we passed, taking in the inside of the dark forest that I would only gaze at fro

I laid in the warm water that was slowly becoming cold, lost in my thoughts and doubts. Master Abigor was a dark, arcane and mysterious man who no doubt certainly had to have secrets. I felt every time he said words to me, they held a secret meaning that I were supposed to pick up on.But what could the secret possibly be?It was eating me alive because I knew that there was something he wanted me to find out or know about, but what could it be? Why should he be so secretive about it? Can he simply not tell me what it is that he needs me to know?I realize that he possibly loves to watch me struggle. I see the amused gleam in his eyes whenever he utters his alluding words. Master Abigor drives me to insanity, from his dark words with an underlying meaning to his touches and kisses.I can still feel h

I sat on the edge of Master Abigor's bed nervously twiddling my thumbs as I avoided his gaze and tried my best to appear as calm as could be. He had called for me at the time of sunset and I made my way to his chambers."The wedding preparations are underway," he confidently mentioned as he walked around the bed, holding out a glass filled with wine and I accepted the glass, needing whatever it may be that may help me to not give anything away.I would hate for Master Abigor to find out that I were a thief and prying around his private matters, "that is pleasant to hear," I responded dryly, struggling to articulate words as I avoided looking him in the eye.His body was standing in front of me and I hoped that he would move away and not be so close to me. He placed a cold finger beneath my chin and I was forced to meet his eyes as he lifted my chin up.I peered up at him, his green eyes holding

When my eyes snapped open, I found myself laying in Master Abigor's bed. My eyes looked up at the chandelier above my head as the memories from last night hit me as hard as a stone being hurled at my head. I brought my hand shakily to my neck, remembering the searing pain as Master Abigor bit me.As my finger ran along my skin, I felt a very distinct marking and that is when I knew that it had not been a dream. I had been awake...Master Abigor was truly a vampire as I had stated.At the sudden realization my heart began to race and my eyes widened but I was unable to move my body. I wanted to sit up and run out of here, to never return to this monster.He seemed to hear the chaos that had been in my mind because he appeared and I simply looked at him with wide eyes, "my Aphrodite," he so smoothly praised my name on his tongue.It was shocking how such a beautiful man could be such a monster.

"Wha-what does that mean? To be a disgrace, to be fallen?" I asked him, my voice breaking through the levelled atmosphere that his own tone has created. His voice was like a lullaby, silencing any bit of distress around him.Master Abigor was still straddling me and his cold hands were on my waist, holding onto me securely as his face was inches from mine."To vampires, humans are considered as inferior. We consider humans as filthy, weak and unworthy of the power that you have. Yet, we live amongst you because you are our source of pleasure and food. Vampires are meant to be with vampires. That is the way that it has to be," he paused, his eyes glancing over every inch of my naked body. I could see his orbs darken before he seemed to gain control over his body, "so when a vampire mates with a human, or claims a human, they become a disgrace. It is like a spit in the face of the power a

The world looked different as I stepped out into the garden and shielded my eyes from the bright sun with my hands."Will it hurt?" I asked Abigor as I let him rest his head on my bosom. The action, strangely, made me feel at ease. It calmed me down after all the fright I had felt."Death...hurts, a lot," he responded and the vibrations that came from his speaking shook me to the very core. I was still unable to move but at this point, I realized that moving was futile because even if he had not done anything to my body, I would have been frozen in place.This time as I looked at the flowers, I willed myself to feel.I pressed my hand to my chest, soothed by the sound of my beating heart that banged against my chest. I sought solace in the simple action as I took in a deep breath and for

I ran a wet hand over my hair, laying down the silky hair as I looked at myself in the mirror. I was met with no reflection of myself and it brought a smile to my face to know how invisible I truly was.I fixed the cuffs on my sleeves before I put on my tunic. My eyes were immediately drawn to the simple wedding band on my finger and I thought of my beautiful mate who would awaken at any moment.I were not entirely certain when she would awaken but patience is a virtue, and I would wait for her. Even if it may take an eternity- at some point in time she shall open her eyes and I shall not be forced to carry on the rest of my life in solitude.I turned on my heels and strode out of my bathing chambers and towards my bed. I stood at the foot of the bed, my eyes setting on my wife who lay completely still. Her hands rested on h

I laid my head on his chest, my heart thumped against my ribs, my ears had a constant ring and my mouth was dry. We were finally alone. The sun had set and the guests had left.It had been a beautiful day, one that ended far too quickly for my liking. I wished I could have spent the rest of eternity in that moment with Abigor. As we swayed together to the music being played by my very own teachers. I could still hear how beautifully the strings of the violin had been pulled as he and I danced together. I heard the ooh's and ahh's from our exclusive audience. We only had the wealthiest and the most powerful attend.It had truly been an event for the books.But now, it was time for me to meet my end.Abigor held onto me just as tightly and we silently stood in embrace, refusing to let the other go. It felt like we had been standing this way for hours since the balls of my feet felt as though they

Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever imagined that the day I were to wed some person, it would be this magical. From the way that the sun rose, it felt as though the elements of the world were celebrating with me. The sun shone just a bit brighter today and the skies were a clear blue.I was unable to eat anything, just simply sat there and let myself be pampered in preparation for the moment when I would accept Master Abigor's hand in marriage.It was when the sun had passed its peak that I was finally ready and slipped into my wedding gown. Never has a simple gown ever brought me to tears as I thought of how far I had come.I hugged each of my ladies in waiting and especially clung onto Lydia for just a bit longer. We talked about how Master Abigor and I had started out and giggled about how none of us would have ever imagined that it w

The home was abuzz. The most abuzz it has been my entire life. The servants were running around, shouting to each other in excitement and it brought a smile to my face because every person was happy for this union. There were no longer moments of silence. The once always silent home, was now a home buzzing with joy.I walked into Master Abigor's quarters, headed for his office. When I reached the big oak doors, I pushed them open before I entered the room.My eyes immediately connected with Master Abigor's who was sitting behind his desk. I closed the doors behind me and walked towards him. I smiled at him and he returned the smile with a confident smirk, "to what do I owe the pleasure of such a meeting?" he asked me as he put his feather down and rolled up the scroll that he was writing on.By the time I had reached his table he had already stood up and stood in front of me. He took my hands into his and leaned do

There was a hush in the air as I clutched the fur coat tighter around my body to shield myself from the cold. Yet, the cold was far from my mind. I was very much aware that some person else occupied the room with me but I cared very little for that. All I cared for was the creation before my eyes.My wedding dress.Unlike the outrageous ball gowns that I am always dressed in, this dress was an A line with no extra tulle to make it appear bigger. I could tell that if I were to wear it, it would not weigh the same weight as my ballgowns with iron rings underneath.Instead, the dress had beauty in its simplicity. Sleeves were non-existent, a simple sheer that matched with my skin tone were on the shoulders of the mannequin to show how the dress would sit on me. The dress was made from a bright and white lace, and the dress was slightly transparent.It was the back that took my breath away. The ill

I stood in the centre of Abigor's bedroom chambers. There was a blanket laying on the floor, and atop the blanket was a variety of food choices and drinks. The entire room was dark and the only light that illuminated the room and allowed me to see the person in the room with me were the candles that were in a circle around the blanket.I should be sitting on the floor, dining with Abigor. Yet Abigor was circling me slowly. I could feel the heat of his gaze as he looked me up and down from every angle.I wore a white silk dress, one that was the definition of temptation.I know not what came over to warrant such actions but I enjoyed when I brought a reaction out of him. It brought a smile to my face to know that a simple woman such as myself could have such an effect on a vampire.&nb

"Lydia!" I proclaimed in joy and relief as I set my eyes on my close friend who seemed unharmed. I threw my arms around her neck and brought her close to my body, enjoying her familiar scent that soothed me.She giggled a bit, uncomfortably holding me for a short moment before she finally relaxed in my arms and gently patted my back, "you seem to have missed me so, Lady Aphrodite."I could not help the tears that escaped me as I buried my face in her shoulder, "what have I told you about calling me Lady Aphrodite?" I scolded her half-heartedly, refusing to lift my head from her embrace.Even though Lydia and I were only a few moons apart, she felt much like a mother. She had always been there for me in my hardest moments and in my best moments.She had to take on a lot of responsibility when it came to me. She had the role of being my friend and being my mother. She would nurse me when I was si
