Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 29 : Finding Lucy
I didn't bother with the salve. Why? Who knew? I wasn't thinking straight and just had to get to Lucy.I dragged myself down the hallway, feeling nearly as heavy as I did in the dream. An uneasy feeling settled on me. What if what happened in the nightmare occurred here?! I cast a glare down the dark halls and gulped, hugging myself and leaning against the wall for a moment. I dragged along it before arriving at the floor, collapsing for just a pause and wondering what the hell I was doing. Was it wise to wander like this without my salve? There was no doubt I would be more easily caught, but at this point, Nicholas knew everything. He knew Lucy was my sister and was probably planning something horrible now that I knew where she was.I needed to get to her before she was moved. Maybe my voice would snap her out of her ravenous actions, who knew? Either way, I made my choice, and I sure as hell was going to go through with it. I felt a buzz in my nightgown pocket, realizing I
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 30 : Confessions of a Monster
Emotions bombarded me as everything came crashing down. All that I suspected was confirmed thoroughly, and there was no room for this possibly not being my sister. Before, all I wanted to do was see her and make sure she was alive. But was this living?I stared into the eyes of Lucy, the warped, unhinged monster before me. She reared up and slammed into the cage as if trying to get to me, sending vibrations up the chain-link fencing. Tears poured from my eyes as I fell to my knees, shaking my head. "Lucy. Lucy! It's me, Lorelei, I'm here to help you!" I tried, but the only response I got was a shriek.Lucy leaped away from the cage and bunched up her muscles, slamming into it again and again as if trying to get to me. I wasn't mistaking it as her trying to run to me for support. If she was in there, she was asleep, and the one in control of her body was a cornered, starved animal with no ability to think for herself. That said, I found myself moving closer, wanting to get thr
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 31 : Breakdown in the Woods
For the first time in a while, I actually felt safe in the coven master's arms. I'd been a bit slow and he offered to carry me, something I hesitated to accept at first, but was open to after a few minutes of thought. My eyelids drooped as the vampire darted along at moderate speed, in more of a rush to get out of the mansion probably to avoid other vampires right now. Best to avoid questions and such. We entered the cool, crisp night air, and I took a deep breath, feeling a little revitalized. The moon hung full tonight overhead, spilling some cool white light onto us as Nicholas slowed his steps and just wandered along.He glanced at me in question, muttering, "Would you rather walk now, Lorelei?"I contemplated this and nodded. Though I was a little bit wobbly, I could stand on my own two feet well enough. I took in a deep, cool breath, the crunch of my footsteps upon leaves echoing in my ears as I walked along. The scent of frost and pine trees hit me, and I smiled, my
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 32 : New Allies
The silhouette of a tall figure with broad shoulders emerged from the trees, and I realized he had long black hair, pale skin… Oh, it was Alexander.I let out a sigh of relief that it was him as opposed to Remus or someone actually nefarious. He wore a calm, though somewhat, worried expression on his face, and his lips twisted into a frown.Nicholas stared the amber-eyed vampire down and muttered, "You followed us, Alex?" "Worried about Lorelei," he grunted, causing my heart to flutter. He narrowed his eyes. "You can be intense sometimes, Nick. I didn't think you were going to hurt her, but wanted to follow just in case."He took a seat on my other side, not moving close enough to touch just yet. Damn, I really wanted him to press against me right now. I could use the comfort but decided to keep that to myself for now. "Didn't think I was going to hurt her?! Of course, I wasn't going to hurt her, Alex, did you think there was a slight chance otherwise?" Nicholas asked, take
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 33 : Mage Blood
"Essentially," the vampire began to explain, running his claws through his silky black hair and shifting in his seat a bit to get more comfortable. No doubt, we'd be here for a long time. "My bloodline is mixed with mages of old. Something passed down from generation to generation is extremely potent magic, much more powerful than vampires typically have access to.""As you know, all humans can learn magic, but some have a high natural affinity to it. This was taken to the extreme with mages, who caught on much faster than the typical rate. Legend has it that some of them mated with vampires in royal bloodlines, which produced dhampir. Born human, but later turned, as they had the genes that could activate with our special venom."My eyes glimmered curiously, and I nodded. This was a lot to take in. I knew about the magic thing but had been far too busy to look into it given my studies. Plus, it was intimidating. Alexander definitely emanated power, and I could tell by how he held
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 34 : Double Penetration
Alexander struck first, lunging forward and wrapping his arms around me. I had a feeling I was in for a lot of biting, and my suspicions were confirmed in the best of ways. A tongue caressed the vein of my neck, causing me to moan out. This intensified as his fangs sank into my skin, piercing me and sending those strong chemicals through my body. As Alexander was biting me, Nicholas began to remove my clothing. I had my eyes partially closed as I stared at him, my cheeks flushing. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a condom, and winked at me. The obvious implication for what was to come caused a blush to deepen on my cheeks, especially as Alexander let go of my neck briefly and let Nicholas remove my shirt.Thankfully, the coven master had lubricant in his bag. Probably always anticipating some fun, I imagined, which he shared with Alexander after I was delicately placed on the ground for their prep.Now, the fun could begin.I gasped in surprise as I was lifted and placed
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 35 : A New Plan
In the morning, I woke up, stretching and yawning. I realized I was in the arms of Alexander, which caused me to blush a bit and snuggle back. The vampire gave a little 'hm?' noise and slowly began to wake up himself.At the moment, I wasn't sure when he came to it entirely, since my back was facing him. However, when I felt him remove his arm and sit up, I knew he was fully awake. I did the same, sitting up, stretching, and looking at him with a smile. "Thanks for staying with me," I said."Of course. You were comfortable. No reason for me to leave," he said with a slight smile.I let out a comfortable sigh, glancing toward the window and seeing a glow from the blocked curtains. Checking my phone, I realized it was midday. I wondered how long I slept, though I supposed it wasn't too important. As long as I felt rested and got some energy back, I would be alright. Speaking of which, my stomach grumbled loudly, causing me to blush."I'll get ahold of Nick now," he said, grabb
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 36 : Important Information
A few days later, Nicholas, Alexander, and I were sitting in my room. By now I'd set up a small table and had a few cushioned chairs to go along with it, so we were settled in and deep in a discussion on how the new plan was going.Nicholas wore a contemplative, regretful frown, no doubt a bit down since he had to play the trickery card on someone he really was hoping may be innocent in this. I wasn't sure about Misty, but she worked with Remus, who I had a really bad feeling about. My instincts constantly screamed he was a true danger. Nicholas cleared his throat, ready to talk about what he'd learned. "So, yes, Misty was excited about my interest in the damn cult," he growled, resigned.His shoulders slumped, and Alexander shot him a sympathetic, but knowing glance. He was probably resisting the chance to pull an 'I told you so.' The powerful vampire motioned for the coven master to continue.Nicholas said, "I couldn't help but ask her about the morality of the situation. I

Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 50 : Dhampir
I left Nicholas and Lucy alone for some time to themselves, wandering down the halls and heading back to where I knew Alexander was. A few hours had passed since I'd been in that room, given I'd fallen asleep in that chair. After all of the help I gave everyone and all of the movement involved, time had been chewed through significantly. When I passed by a window and opened the curtain, I noticed the sun was setting. A few minutes later, I arrived at Alexander's room and knocked on the door. "Come in," the vampire said.I listened, entered the room, and looked around, smiling at all of the shark decorations Alexander loved so much. Then, I looked toward him. Thankfully, his skin was no longer an angry red as it had healed up considerably since I'd been with Nick and Lucy. "How are you feeling?" I asked, prompting him to shrug. Even if he was healed well, he was exhausted and somewhat out of it like the rest of the coven. His eyes swept over me curiously, and eventually, he rais
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 49 : The Reunion
Everything was a blur as I helped with healing procedures, using my training for once. I hadn't needed to at any point before, but after a gigantic vampire battle, unfortunately, it would be needed now. Many vampires had been mauled by The Vicious on the loose. I didn't ask questions yet, that would be for later. People were sent to their beds with instructions to rest and feed. Vampires could heal if they had energy, which was low right now. Sort of.I offered my blood, which most declined, but some drank out of sheer desperation. Those vampires began to heal, and while I grew dizzy once again, I knew it was the right thing to do. I really needed more blood in my system, though. Would I restore that by feeding? I'd eaten Remus entirely, which helped a lot. It allowed me to give the blood that I did to help the other vampires heal. Finally, I detected the scent of someone that made my heart flutter. 'Alexander,' I thought to myself, turning to walk down the hallway and giving a
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 48 : Latrodectus
A familiar and very bad scent washed over me right then, causing me to frown very deeply. I was grasping all of these new sensations still so much that I really couldn't pinpoint them. All I knew was that I felt my throat closing in anxiety as I glanced sharply to my side. Without warning, I stood up, and let out a low growl from the pit of my chest. Where the fuck had that come from?!I stopped, contemplating this as I saw something bolting toward me from the woods. It clicked seconds later that Remus had survived Lucy's attack and was making a beeline for me. Alexander had listened to my demands and was in the shade right now. There was no chance, therefore, for interception. We were both caught off guard. I shrieked as I was tackled to the ground, fangs sinking into my neck as Remus began to maul me mercilessly, quite as Lucy had with him. I jerked and squirmed, unable to do much as he did so. However, during this, arms wrapped around him and pulled him back. I hadn't taken
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 47 : Am I Vicious?
I was floating in a beautiful garden, of sorts. As my back touched the ground, I sat up and rubbed my head. I recognized this as a place from my childhood. I wasn't in control of my limbs, but I was seeing through my own eyes, coming to realize this was some sort of memory. I felt myself smile and turn toward a little girl frolicking in the garden. A giggle keeled out of me as the sun tickled my cheeks. This dream was lovely. I myself was just a little girl, the vague screams of memories from the present day only a pinprick in the back of my mind.My sister was here with me, approaching a rose garden and admiring them. The scent of spring billowed all around us as blooming flowers and maple trees. Gorgeous vivids and gold painted the areas coming from the plants as Lucy and I played in the garden behind our house.She gave a soft giggle as I hopped over to her, looking up toward me with wide eyes. I was about ten years of age right then; when times were much better. Before every
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 46 : I Love Lucy
I choked on a cry as the vampire got closer, his voice haunting and causing my heart to pound in my ears. The promises he wove through the night were terrible, evil, and my entire body was wracked with a combination of pain and fear.My hair fell wildly into my face, making it hard to see, but I quickly tried shoving the strands aside and focusing. Right now, I could outpace him, but he probably had more endurance, which may be my downfall. "You want to know what it's like to truly be a pet?" Remus snarled out, weaving a cackle in with his words. "Humans are lesser. I will put you in your place. You may not like it, but you're not meant to. After all the trouble you caused, you need to be punished."If this language was coming from Alexander at the right time, aside from the 'lesser' and not liking it part, I may have been turned on. From Remus, and him meaning me genuine, non-consensual harm, though? Not a chance.I took several deep breaths, focusing despite my world swirlin
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 45 : The Released Vicious
The Vicious's voice was Lucy's. After having listened closely to the sounds she made, and how her voice melded with her screams every so often, I could tell it was her. She buried her fangs into my assailant's neck, dragging him off and proceeding to tear him apart.I shuddered at this grisly scene, wanting to sink down to my knees. However, I knew that I needed to keep a clear mind and couldn't break now. This was my chance. Something happened during Lucy's attack, and Alexander was gone. I needed to go after him but suddenly got an idea. I turned to go rush off into the woods to find him when I froze. The squelching noise of the bat monster tearing flesh was all I could hear now as Lucy did her work.I turned and stared at the dark figures, those red eyes the only things gleaming. "Lucy," I whispered. "It's me, Lorelei."Her ears perked, and I wondered if she knew it was me. Had she intentionally saved me?I watched as she slowly began to crawl toward a pool of moonlight,
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 44 : Escape and Fight
My entire world was once again just pain as I burned through the rope. The chanting around me waxed and waned as the crackle of flames taunted me, reminding me of what I was doing here and now. I needed to burn at least part of the rope so I could get my wrists free. Thankfully, Remus didn't tie the rope so that it was holding my forearms together, but rather just my wrists, crisscrossed on top of one another. Tears streamed down my cheeks, and I sincerely hoped no one was watching me do this. I was in full view, after all, but I think Lucy distracted them. As a matter of fact, the clanging of chains got louder, as did the erratic nature of the monster's screeching.Chanting turned to shouting as I realized they may be losing control of her, which was just great. If she broke free and wreaked havoc, someone could decide to pull the trigger on her, or something. Either way, my captors were distracted enough from the ordeal to allow this painful decision on my part, and there was
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 43 : Whiplash
I wasn't in my bed. Honestly, I had no idea where I was, but it wasn't good. There was a pit in my stomach as the scent of smoke filled my nostrils. My senses were bombarded with 'not safe.' A trickle of warm blood crawled down my face as I slowly opened my eyes to take everything in.The first thing my gaze locked on was a dancing flame. It illuminated what I registered as a forest ground before me. Letting out a soft groan, I tried to move only to realize my hands were tied behind my back. Unfortunately, my legs suffered the same fate, as I realized I couldn't move them, either. I was forced here into a kneeling position, a cloth shoved into my mouth so that I couldn't scream. The world around me swirled and rocked. It was impossible for me to get an idea of what happened or why. My senses just kept going haywire despite my trying to center on where I was or what was happening. There was too much pine, too much smoke, too much ringing in my ears, and too many tears in my e
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 42 : Beg Me, Pet
I tossed and turned during the nap I tried getting in. Remus left shortly after hovering just a bit longer to annoy the hell out of Alex. The protective vampire remained there after Remus walked away. Alexander held me close during my unproductive attempt to sleep. When I squirmed and moved a bit, he pulled me closer. It limited my restlessness, but not entirely. I got maybe an hour of sleep in before opening my eyes and letting out a groan. "Can't sleep?" Alexander muttered. Then, he paused and chuckled. "Nevermind, that was a rather stupid question." This gave me a laugh, allowing me to relax a little bit.The vampire asked, "Would you like another massage? Could calm your nerves." I pondered this, rotating so that I was facing him, and slowly nodded. "Sure. If you want to initiate anything, you don't need to hold back this time," I said in a light tone. My voice wasn't exactly sultry right now, because stress still dripped in my words.Still, if he wanted to have some fun,
