Esther’s POVAfter hours of tending to the brew, it was finally ready. “It’s ready” I announced.“Oh, thank goodness!” Silas exclaimed. He had laid down for a few hours but for at least the last hour he was up and was pacing about the room. “I will wake up Hannah.” He said as he headed towards the bed. Dimitri came over from where he had been sitting on the couch.“Maybe you want to have a sip and tell me, how you feel about me?” Dimitri whispered in my ear. “Maybe you want to have a sip, and let me know what you plan to do when it comes to Renee?” I responded. Dimitri just sighed and walked back over to the table. I removed the brew from the burner to cool, pouring it into a mug. Hannah sleepily walked over to the table followed by Silas. “Ugh I have to drink that? It looks disgusting” Hannah huffed looking at the mug. “It also smells disgusting” she crinkled her nose at the odor. “Yes, you do.”“Fine but how does this stuff even work?”“Once you drink it, it will take about thir
Silas’s Point of ViewIt has been about twenty minutes since Hannah choked down the truth brew, I am sure it tasted terrible, ten hours is the minimum for a truth brew, the longer it cooks the less flavor it has. Dimitri and Esther were preparing to escort her to Wesley’s suite when a knock came at the door. Dimitri and Esther, both shot one another a look. “Are we expecting anyone?” Esther questioned eyeing the door. “Not to my knowledge, I told Dylan we did not want to be disturbed.” Dimitri answered walking over to the door, while Esther grabbed Hannah’s arm pulling her into the bathroom and closing the door. Dimitri slowly opened the door. “Ah Samantha and Gregory what a pleasant surprise.” Dimitri said once he saw who was on the other side of the door. Dimitri continued to stand in the doorway blocking them from coming in. “Yeah, I just thought we should say goodbye” Samantha stated waiting for Dimitri to invite them in and when he didn’t, she took matters into her own hands “
Esther’s Point of ViewOnce we made it out of the room past Samantha and Gregory, we proceeded straight to the suite next to Wesley’s. Once we were inside, I went over the plan once more with Hannah. “Ok, so you are going to knock on his door and act like it was an accident and you have the wrong room, remember to act very slutty.” I said looking over her appearance. She did look the part, she had a white tank top on that was practically see through and you could clearly make out the cheetah print on her bra underneath, she was wearing a black mini skirt and black high heels. Her makeup helped seal the deal with her bright red lips and dark shadowed eyes. “Yeah, yeah, I got it, then I compliment him on his looks and giggle while biting my lip. I got it mom!” Hannah huffed annoyed and starting walking towards the door. “And Hannah” I called “Do not try to kill him, you promised!” She just rolled her eyes and was out the door. “This plan is so screwed” I sighed watching her leave.
Silas’s Point of ViewI decided not to mince words and instead, I just grabbed the journal from the band of my pants and dropped it on the table in front of Samantha and Gregory. “What, how do you have this? I just gave it to Esther.” Gregory questioned confused. “No, you gave her that one, that she left over on the end table.” I responded pointing to the other journal. “I pulled this one out of Esther’s trunk when she wasn’t looking.”“I don’t understand” Gregory said in confusion pulling the journal to him and opening the cover. “There is more than one copy, and Esther had already seen it, when she claimed she hadn’t, why?” Samantha also looked confused. “If I had to guess, this one is the original.” I answered, “But I need to know what happened.” Gregory recounted the details of Esther helping him pull the ink forward from the back pages of the journal and how it didn’t lead to anything more, so he was going to give up on finding out anything more. “Well, I will tell you what I
Esther’s Point of View“Hannah NO!” I shouted while running forward into the room. Wesley was passed out on the bed with fresh blood still shining on his lips and Hannah was standing over him with a wooden chair leg pressing into his chest. I threw my hand up suspending Hannah into the air, while Dimitri ran forward to pull the chair off Wesley and check on him. “He is still alive” Dimitri said in relief.“Ok we will just tie her up for now” I huffed lowering Hannah into a chair and Dimitri brought some of the rope, we brought to tie up Wesley, over and tied her to the chair. “Hannah, you promised” I said shaking my head at her. “I only broke the promise because you stopped me, I didn’t intend to attempt to kill him, I was going to kill him.” Hannah sneered at me. “Unbelievable” Dimitri said under his breath. “Why do you even have wooden furniture down here?” I questioned as I turned to inspect Wesley’s chest wound. “Well generally it isn’t an issue, not many vampires try to kill
High Lord Dimitri’s Point of ViewTalking to Wesley was endlessly frustrating and I wanted nothing more than to get it over with. “Wesley did you tell anyone else about seeing Elizabeth in the United States?” I questioned. “My dad knows I saw Elizabeth in the United States.” He answered.“Does he know anything else?”“Yes” Wesley answered.“You will have to make it more specific, of course his dad knows other things.” Esther said.Oh, right duh, okay more specific. “Does your father know about the hybrid?” “No, this is a bunch of bullshit High Lord Dimitri, I haven’t done anything wrong.”“Do you not understand, how many lives are at stake with this information.” I huffed. “No” Wesley responded. “This could start a war between the species, countless lives lost on both sides.” I stated annoyed by his arrogance. “Have you told anyone about the hybrid?” “No” he answered, relief washed over me, soon this problem could be behind us. “Wait” Esther said studying Wesley’s face “Did you
Esther’s Point of ViewI would be able to sleep soundly tonight knowing the information about Renee has been contained. Unfortunately, Wesley had to lose his head to keep that information safe, but it was better than literally losing his head in my book. I still wasn’t sure what we should do with Hannah, as she had already lost some of her mind and unfortunately, I didn’t know of a spell in all the world that could help that. We couldn’t let her go and I didn’t know how to keep her here either. Once I was done with Wesley, we cleaned up the room and tucked him into bed. We untied Hannah and walked her back to my room. Which I was surprised to find empty, just a scribbled message from Silas saying he had to leave on business laying on the table. Which I found to be very strange, but I didn’t know what to do about that either. “Any ideals on what we should do with her?” Dimitri asked while pushing Hannah onto the couch and restraining her once more.“I guess until the trial is over o
Silas’s Point of ViewAfter we arrived in Berlin after our fourteen-hour overnight train ride we checked into a hotel, the sun would be up soon, so Gregory and Samantha needed to stay inside until it went down again. I settled into my room taking the time to read over the journal once more, I wished there was a spell I could cast to make the words appear, but to my knowledge no such thing existed. We would have to rely on technology. My eyes started to get heavy after a couple hours and when I awoke next the sun was already down. I jumped out of bed quickly and grabbed the journal before leaving my room and walking to Gregory and Samantha’s room a couple doors down. I knocked on the door and was told to come in. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to oversleep.” I said upon entering. “No worries, I just received confirmation from my friend that we can come to lab.” Gregory stated grabbing a jacket. “I have a case to put the journal into to protect it” Gregory stated grabbing a silver case off the
