The scent of something roasting above a fire wafted into Maris' nose and prompted her to open the windows to her soul. The exact words her mother used whenever Maris had itchy eyes as a kid and needed some eye drops.
Her vision wasn't clear at first then later, it did and she widened her eyes when she couldn't recognize where she was. The room wasn't the same size as Sanna's, but it was just okay and painted in green.
She turned to the right and jolted as their eyes locked on like magnets, four pairs of eyes blinked in unison. There was an alertness in her eyes as she narrowed them into crinkled slits and primed her lips.
"Where am I?" She asked him, but he got up and disappeared out of the room. "Tristan!"
The exclamation sent a wave of headache to hit her hard on the head and she winced, nursing her head with her right hand. The moment she caught sight of the identification, according to what her mother said–she screwed her eyes tight and la
"I'll go check it out." Tristan gestured for her to wait there and she nodded. "I'm sure it's nothing serious."Just as he was about to walk away, he halted and a sour expression settled on his face."What do you want?" He sounded pissed and Maris wondered if it was an annoying ex girlfriend that had returned to plea for mercy."Where is Maris?" A familiar voice sounded from the hall and it echoed, making Maris' heart to spring up with hope.Just the mere sound of his voice made her happy, but when she remembered how cowardly he acted the previous night... She folded her arms and backed the door, eyes fixed on the folds as breeze blew them out every once in a while."None of your business." Tristan spat, slightly getting angry as he stood in front of the door, not letting him get into the room."Out of the way, do you realize she's my lemen?!" He roared and Tristan didn't shake, not even the bushy brows above hi
DraculaHe waited impatiently by the window for his new follower to arrive with good news or with the demon host.There was a knock on the door and Dracula zoomed to his chair, he couldn't risk to look uncool. He sat and reclined in the chair, plastering his elbows on the arm rests and clasping his palms together so he could raise them to his face."Come." The handle twisted, but it didn't open so he rolled his eyes and groaned before going to unlock the door.He walked back to his seat and interlocked his fingers on his stomach as he studied the person with hooded eyes.Curiosity bubbled and nudged him to ask a certain question."Why are you always dressed in a coat, minion?" Dracula scrutinized the follower from head to toe, not getting a proper look at the face of the mystery person. Well, not so mystery to him."So they wouldn't know it's me, sir." Answered the minion."Whatev
Maris~Ufeli forest.Her head rested on his rising and falling chest with her index fingers, drawing lines on his almost bald chest. Almost.Heat spread all over her body and she solemnly wondered the kind of feeling of euphoria she'd get if it was the main thing they did since just a kiss ignited so much in her."So," he started, drawing slow circles on her shoulder. "You never replied if you love me back.""Well-" she halted in her tracks then raised her head up. "Why are we acting as if we just made love?""I have no idea." He shrugged and they shared a laugh, enjoying the sound of the water fall. "So, you said you're a virgin, yeah?"Maris sat up and stared at him with silent laughter dancing in her eyes."Of course not." She shook her head and looked ahead of her, picking up a stone and tossing it into the water. "I mean, locks man had his way with me and-""What?!" Logan sat up, face already turning red.&
Maris' heart almost flew out her chest when she jerked, but she held her chest and prevented that."I can explain." Maris sprang up to her feet, holding up her hands in a surrendering manner the moment she and Sanna locked gazes. "I'm not here to kill-"Maris was halted in her tracks because Sanna unexpectedly pulled her in for a hug, saying, "I missed you."Firstly, Maris' body was stiff and her hands hung lazily beside her body. Slowly, after blinking a couple times, she hugged Sanna back. It felt as if Sanna was the big sister she never had, Sanna had this aura of maturity that always hovered above her head.After they pulled out of the hug, Maris choked on a laugh and Sanna squinted an eye at her."What's funny?" Sanna rested her hands on her waist and cocked her head to one side."I was thinking you'd hate me for what my so called kind did to you. I don't even know how to feel after the shocking
She lost the grip she had on the dress and it slipped to the ground once again, leaving her half naked body to melt in his arms.Was it just her or was it hot the way he roughly pulled her to his chest?"Don't get lost." He snapped his fingers in her face and she jerked, blinking away the embarrassment as it hit her wave after wave."Lost where?" She managed to ask amidst the thoughts that were scattered in her head."My eyes." He whispered and she resisted the roll of her eyes by only shaking her head with light chuckles, escaping her lips. "Wait."Logan rushed into the bathroom, giving Maris the chance to glance around and take in her environment. His room was painted in Royal blue and had a king size bed in the middle. Thick, heavy and black curtains mirrored his duvet that was neatly spread on his bed.The sound of water splashing on the floor drew her attention back and she looked down at her
"Kill the witch!" A man with jet black hair exclaimed and they charged towards her.Maris turned to run away, but there wasn't any luck on her side as she tripped on a stone and fell on her stomach, bruising her cheek. She laid on her butt and supported herself up with both her palms, flatly placed to the ground."No, I'm not a witch." She cried, eyes darting from one person to the other. She didn't know what to do. All that was spinning in her head was that she would die.Her heart pounded and her mouth went dry as she tried to crawl backwards on her butt away from them."Please, I'm not here to harm you." Her voice seized and was now cracky."Tell that to the devil in hell," said the woman that had shape shifted earlier through gritted teeth."Logan!" Maris screamed, covering her face with her arms.The shape shifter raised a spear in attempt to push it through her chest, but something happened.
"Please!" Her voice sounded coarse like she had been starved of water for many days.She held on tight to Maris' shirt and Maris' eyes widened with folds on her forehead–The shirt, it was actually Logan's grey shirt. Quickly, Logan rushed to where she was and freed his consort of the woman's grip."My goodness, Mrs-" Maris didn't get to finish her sentence because Logan stepped in front of the woman."Stay away from her." Logan's eyes became darker as he shoved Maris behind him and sneered, visibly scaring the woman with his white fangs."I'm not here to hurt her, believe me." She trembled, falling on her knees with a face that mirrored the wet weekend. "I need her help.""Why?" Logan's eye brows kissed each other with creases in between them."Water," was the last thing the woman said before she collapsed to the floor and her lids closed."Let's help her." Maris tapped the back of his shirt, her he
Memory lane...Azelbub's forestThe werewolf in their midst shook like he was having an intense seizure, his eyes rolled skyward and his fingers were curved into talons. All the cult members raised their hands to the sky, thinking it was normal.Maris stood behind the tree, staring at the eye candies in front of her. She held up her phone, not wanting to miss an opportunity to get paid for taking such pictures to the broadcasting house. Plus, their butts were attractive, round and molded from heaven.She thought of her butt and felt disappointed, it wasn't bigger than that of a ginger head man in the cult.Suddenly, she tapped the camera icon and focused the lens on the man in the middle who appeared to be the one they worshipped as they had bowed earlier on his arrival. Her thumb tapped on the shot button and the loud sound of her camera and flashlight gave her off.The werewolf gasped and gave up it's ghost, eyes al
There was a pallid look on Maris' face by the time she strode deeper into the place that was dimly lit by a light, reflected from metres away.The discoloration on her face meant one thing–she was uncomfortable and something dark was lurking in this room, which pricked at her skin, causing her to swallow hard. Eyes scanning the place that looked like an ice cave, she was mesmerized amidst uneasiness.She led them, following the blue light with Dracula by her side. She could hear just how his heart was beating in anticipation."Maris." Egon called and she froze in her tracks, taking her time to glance over her shoulder. "Come, I have something to show you."Maris chanced a glance at the devil's displeased demeanor. He wore a mask of irritation as he watched Egon whisk her away to a darker path on the right."Where are you going?" Dracula and Logan asked, distaste laced in their words as they quickly shared a look of hat
"Why should I trust you?" Dracula gave Egon a long skeptical look with both his eyes squinted."Because it's fact. I mean, why do you think the devil made it a forbidden place and doesn't allow us sirens and tritons, owners of the land to visit there?" Egon questioned, making a lot of sense. "Because he doesn't want anyone to get a hold of his weakness."Dracula hummed, stroking his chin lightly and thinking deep about what Egon had just said."Think about how powerful you'll be if you get a hold of the Crystal. Give us Maris and we'd take you there." Egon tried to strike a deal, but Dracula shook his head in dismay."No, I'm not letting you have Maris just like that. What if you're lying?" Dracula's brows knitted into a frown as he pierced his eyes into that of Egon's."We'll take you there ourselves then." Egon offered and Dracula gave it a long thought before accepting.They journeyed together again, chatteri
Cold fear settled in her stomach when she locked gazes with Dracula. Darkness sat on his head like a crown and caused Maris to stop breathing for a minute.His face had a stoic expression on it with dead eyes. He held his index finger to his lips and swiped his thumb on his neck, gesturing for her to keep shut or die.Well, what a zinger. Dracula was breaching the agreement he had with her people for the sake of his own selfish reasons.He pressed his palm harder to her lips and dragged her quietly out of the tent, into the cold night. Bats flew over them and black birds stood on the branches of the tall trees surrounding them.At the drop of a hat, he whisked Maris away and deeper into the forest, carrying her bridal style. Maris had seen enough this season and she would give anything just to be free and normal again."There he is." Dick pointed at Dracula enthusiastically when he had arrived. "Tie her, she's a fighte
MarisMaris' breathing accelerated, so did her heart beat. Her muscles tensed and she vibrated, palms balled into fists. The sight of Dracula gripping Logan's throat set her soul on fire.Abruptly, she broke the chain around her wrist, turned and grasped the neck of the vampire that was refraining her from going over to Dracula."Dracula!" Her voice sounded like a whistle, causing the vampires to whine, hands covering their ears. "Leave him alone or I'll kill him!"Dracula dryly looked at her like he was bored to death–saying, "Really?"His brows arched and Maris had a firm grip on the vampire's neck who gasped for air. Her eyes turned eerily black. The strength in her multiplied as she gritted her teeth and was slowly raising the vampire with his neck.Dracula wasn't in anyway bothered. He continued to tighten his grip, closing up Logan's windpipe.The fact it didn't make Dracula flinch made her fr
Dracula"Who are you?" Dracula stepped forward, pushing Lucy behind him to safety, his fangs slowly shooting out."My name is Egon Ajax Kayden and I am a Triton, fill in leader of the sirens." He announced, flames burning in his eyes as he set his staff down. "You have what belongs to us!"Dracula scrunched up his face and glanced around him for anything he might have taken from the siren kingdom. He hadn't even been there before.Maris was excited, she could feel a connection with the man. Could he be her brother or father? But this man was too young to be her dad."No, I don't." Dracula shrugged, interlocking fingers with Lucy in an attempt to walk out, but the Triton stopped him by holding out his staff to Dracula's chest."Yes, you do. You have one of our kind and we heard her cry for help." He stated, still keeping his cool."Wait, aren't sirens just women?" Dracula frowned. "I thought the males got
Maris~~Azazel's dungeon."Help me, I need to get out of this place." Maris sobbed, tears trailing down her cheeks.With her back against the bars, she slid down to the floor and hugged her knees to her chest."I just want everything to go back to normal, I want Logan." She wailed, earning a pitiful look from Lucy."I wish there was a way to help you, but my fate is even worse than yours." Lucy sighed, resting her head on the wall.Maris sat up, remembering something her mother had told her when she was alive. She pulled off both her earrings and laid them in her palms. The earrings had the same symbol on her wrist and her mother's face flashed in her head."Whenever you're in trouble, cry to this or hold it and scream help." Her mother instructed, pinning the earrings to her ears. "And you'll be saved."Maris snapped back to reality and began to cry, feeling the root of bitterness in the depth
DraculaDracula was before the king of darkness, bowing down and using his fist for support. Getting to his feet, they locked gazes and Azazel grinned a wicked one before sitting on his throne."Now that I've brought her to you, can you fulfil your own part of the deal?" Dracula asked impatiently, tapping his foot on the ground."What deal?" The devil stroked his chin and stared at the space between them as he pretended to be thinking about something."What do you mean by what deal?" Dracula glowered at the devil who reclined on his throne with his legs widely apart."Oh, to free the woman whom you've been cheating on with many women?" Azazel asked, resting his chin on his fist and looking away like he was bored to death."I am a man with hormones." Drac defended himself and the devil's eyes danced in silent laughter as he stared amusingly at his supposed best friend."Hormones?" Azazel sat up and p
Maris' lips twitched into a smile as she felt Logan's palms caressing her face."I love you, Maris." He pulled her closer to him and devoured her lips like it was his first time of getting romantic with a woman. "I don't want to ever lose you.""Neither do I," she whispered over his lips and the heated make out session continued.He rubbed everything, kissed everything and licked her very weak spot–her neck. It was the fastest way to turn Maris on. One soft bite and she would turn into a river."Make Love to me." She moaned, enjoying every wave of pleasure that plunged her soul.Clothes on the floor and in one insane second he was drilling her, earning loud moans from Maris.A hand around her neck and she choked, tears welling up in her eyes. Logan spanked her and rapidly tapped her cheeks.She never knew he was a beast in bed, but she was loving every stroke and roughness.
"How far are we from wherever we're going?" Maris asked, already tired of walking."We'll be there soon." Linda jumped on a stone and held the tree beside her with the side of her other hand above her eyes to shield them from the sun."I'm thirsty!" Maris slumped on the floor with her mouth open."Well, you're in luck because there's a waterfall over there." Linda pointed out and Maris sat up, feeling parched.Linda jumped down and moved farther so did Maris, who was trailing behind her not seeing clearly. Must be the dehydration."Why's the sun so hot?" Maris gulped, cringing at how the saliva she swallowed felt like a ball of fire to the walls of her throat. "Feels like I'm gonna die.""No, you wouldn't." Linda held Maris' hand and wrapped it around her shoulder. "Plus, we both need a bath."Linda sniffed her pits and shrugged, it wasn't even as bad as she thought."Why are you so different?" Mar
