"I just don't understand why he would run," Cassius shook his head as they made their way back to the truck. The car park was now even emptier than before, which would have been a little eerie if Cassius hadn't have been right at the side of her. "Everyone has their reason, Cas," Izzie tried to reason with him. It became apparent as they had been checking out that the way Tristan had acted had really gotten to him. He had been quiet and in his own world up until now.
"But he's the heir for that branch of our family," he replied, "He and I were to take over at the same time, work together." He seemed really disheartened about it. It had never occurred to Izzie that Cassius might actually have wanted to take over from his father. Hopefully not to continue the horrendous acts that he was committing, but to take over as head of the family. Tristan recoiling from him had really hurt him even though Izzie hadn't seen it at the time.
"He was like
"Isabelle," Cassius' hushed voice stirred her from her nightmare plagued sleep, and her eyes fluttered open. The images of Jake's pale lifeless body started to fade as her gaze met Cassius'. He gave her one of his heartbreaker smiles before he leant down and placed a kiss on her forehead.Wait...Leant down?She looked around with dawning realisation that they weren't in the truck anymore. She was lying flat on a velvety green couch, with her head propped up by a pillow. There was her throw Cassius had used to cover himself in the truck draped over her as a blanket. Once Cassius got up to move away she got a better view of the room. It was beautifully decorated in deep green, black and white and everything was colour coordinated, all the way down to the light shades. The main wall featured a large wood-burning fireplace with a black marble hearth, and with an exquisitely carved dark oak mantle. The wall w
Before they knew it they were back on the couch with Cassius on top of her, their lips still locked in a passionate kiss. The tension between them had grown too much and Cassius had decided that he was going to seize what was his, not that she minded one bit. After being blue-ballsed by Brad last time this was long overdue and she'd be damned if anything was to interrupt them this time.There were no formalities or sweet caresses this time. His mouth was rough against hers, bruising her lips with the power of his kiss while his tongue dominated inside her mouth.He broke off only to whip her vest and hoody off over her head with one swift movement and tossed them aside. He paused of a moment, his eyes darkening with lust as his gaze raked over her now exposed flesh. Izzie felt herself grow wet under the heat of his stare.She didn't know whether to throw her arms over herself or just to throw herself at hi
The pain (if she could even call it that) lasted all of about five seconds before a numb tingling sensation took over. She felt the blood begin to leave her, but it was nothing like that night she had been attacked. Each gulp Cassius took seemed to send shock waved straight down to her already throbbing pussy.Was this...Was this turning her on?More importantly...Shouldthis be turning her on?She found herself knotting her finger in his hair, pulling him into her almost begging for him to drink deeper.
Creak.The noise was like thunder in the quiet darkened room. Izzie whipped around to see one of the doors hanging slightly ajar with a strong beam of light shining through on to the green rug.
"Cas," Izzie mumbled sleepily, prodding him in the chest. He didn't even stir. She still found it so unnerving when he was asleep. The lack of breathing and heartbeat always made her fear her was dead. On the flip side though, he looked so peaceful. His dark hair was getting long and was scruffed up from a morning of fun with some strands draping down over his thick lashes. No lines furrowed his perfect face and he looked even younger when he was asleep.Not that she k
"What shall we do?" Cassius questioned from where he lay sprawled out across the couch. Izzie was sitting in the large armchair adjacent to him, curled up in her thick black blanket. She was currently in a food coma, with a belly being full to bursting. Cassius had really gone all out with her 'night-time breakfast'.She had only expected one, possibly two omelettes. Not only was there a cheesy omelette cooked to perfection, but he had also done her a side of bacon, toast and fried mushrooms. It was heavenly and she had cleaned the plate, even after her stomach had begun to protest that it was full. It had been just far too good to waste.She just shrugged in response. She was still heavily pregnant with her food baby and had just been happily enjoying his company. The thought of having
Izzie's heart raced as she stared at the window. Even though she couldn't actually see out of it she just had this gut feeling that there was someone on the other side staring back. She didn't dare look away. She kept her gaze on the window as she started to back away from it, sidestepping her way towards to bedroom. She kept her eyes fixated on the dark beyond the window the entire time that she moved.Once at th

New turns or fledgelings could be some of the most dangerous vampires. They hadn't learned to control their hunger yet and instinct would take over them.

That's the last of it," Jake commented as she stood up holding yet another dustpan full of broken glass. He had personally tidied up most of the destruction in the living room. Cassius had helped a little where he could but had grown tired very quickly and needed to sit down. Neither male would let her or Esther help in the cleaning up, though Esther didn't seem overly concerned by that. Izzie, however, had begun to feel better and wanted to help but they insisted that she continue to rest until they were sure she was fully healed. Right now, she was snuggled up on Cassius' lap with her head leaning on his shoulder while his strong arms wrapped around her like a safety blanket. His leant his head on hers while they both watched Jake finish up the cleaning. Esther had long since disappeared into the kitchen, lord knows what she was doing but Izzie didn't care much as long as she was away from her. "Is there anything we can use to patch up that window?" Cassius asked as a shiver ran th
It was cold.Very cold.There's was nothing around but darkness.'Am I - am I dead?' Izzie thought and it seemed to echo in the vast void around her as if she had spoken aloud. She felt light as if she was made of no more than air. She was just kind of there, floating in the black.She must be dead.This was not what she expected death to be.She didn't know exactly what she had expected.Pain and suffering.
Vanessa didn't have time to react. A scream had just started to escape her lungs when the bullet hit. Given her strange angle over Izzie Jake hadn't managed to shoot anything vital, probably through fear of hitting Izzie, but it had been enough for Vanessa to fall away from Izzie.Izzie watched as Vanessa fell to the ground, holding her side as the blood began to ooze from it. Izzie saw the burn of the silver begin to smoke in her side, but if it was the same thing that had hit Cassius then she could still have a lot of life in her yet."Izzie!" Jake called, and she looked over just in time to see him kick her dagger back towards her. The blade slid elegantly across the floor, coming right for her and she instinctively put out her hand to catch it. It was almost like fate as the ha
Izzie spit out a mouthful of blood from what she hoped was Vanessa's final attack. She lay crumpled on the floor unable to move from the agony that she felt. Bones were broken and possibly a ruptured organ or two. Moving hurt, her insides hurt, her outsides hurt, hell, even breathing hurt.It appeared that vampy Barbie wasn't just a pretty face.She was an entire cold plastic bitch, through and through.Izzie had never been one to give up, but right now, death would be welcome. She forced her head up, her gaze locking on Cassius one more time as she felt Vanessa approaching behind her, getting ready to deliver the final blow.Those sad steel
Bang!The scream of agony came almost instantly as the shot was fired.
