"If you're a vampire, what do you drink on this island?" Rebecca asked.
"Nothing, we haven't had a meal in a very long time" Philip said."Is that why you're so pale?""Yes"Rebecca started worrying, sure she has vampire in her and she can probably survive a while without blood, but how long is a while? What if Ray dies and never comes for her? She'll die on this island, unlike normal vampires her heart still beats, and she needs fuel to keep it beating.She swallowed thinking to herself if she dies will she then rise again as only a vampire? Will her wolf suffer the most here in this foodless bloodless prison?"Are there only servants here?" She asked trying to imagine how it would taste drinking from another vampire... Will those here have enough blood to even drink!? Philip was pale as chalk!"Only us yes""—Come to me–"Rebecca stopped and looked back, it was a ghastly voice out of the dark corridors, it echoed and it fadeThe captain stood comfortably against the bridge table and had his binoculars out towards the island. For two weeks now the 'Glorious expedition' was anchored about a mile away from the island, they were unable to approach thanks to the storm.The feedback they gave to their headquarters keeps returning the same, a magical storm that picks up as soon as they approach was just to hard for them to understand."No changes skipper" his first mate said checking the weather charts."Keep going then" he answered bringing the binoculars down to the little remotely controlled boat heading in the island's direction, but as soon as panned down movement from the island made him look up again, yet he missed it."What was that?" He asked looking over the binoculars."What was what skipper?" First mate asked but somewhere they heard an clear thud on the large steel ship."Go check it out"The first mate nodded, he headed out the bridge and scaled the steps
Serene, calmness and peace, this was all Skyler ever wanted, since the beginning when she was working in New York, all she hoped for was a normal, peaceful life, and she had it, until Mishka and Gideon found her that day, sneaking up on her whilst treating herself to a gin and tonic in the kitchen.Asena came in next to her and held the glass of wine down "You drink wine don't you?"Skyler nodded and took it, but bringing it to her nose she stopped, smelling "This isn't wine?"Asena sat next to her, clasping a glass of her own "You have a nice house you know?" She said.Skyler smiled "Is this your blood?""Yes..." Asena said and blushed "Just be careful, I doubt you had anything like it before"Skyler watched her eye to eye, warmth spread over her cheeks then looked at the glass, she spooled the liquid in it then slowly took a sip.Asena was right, as the taste of it reached her gums a sensation shot through her mouth, she subconsciously swallowed
Having a witch that can bend space and distance was a better advantage than flight, Hannah felt the very problem of travelling over great distances is being instantly solved, by an instant jump through time.She looked at Saffira, in the witch's arms the body bag containing her daughter, Hannah gave her a sweet smile but Saffira didn't buy it."We have an agreement then, I help you resurrected your mother, and she brings my daughter back""Why?" Hannah asked "Why bring her back when you were in fact the one who killed her""Sometimes Hannah there are things you wish you hadn't done... Maybe one day you will have such a moment"The soft smile in Hannah's face vanished, giving way to her signature leer "I have already had such a moment Saffira, and that was allowing my younger brother to become king! I should have stood up to my father, but out of fear I stepped back, and allowed him to have his way"Hanna looked at Raphael staring at the doors of the Vel
"Then, where are the other body parts?" Rebecca asked.Sebastian was sitting in the throne looking at the servant vampires finishing off the last of the crew members."Well my dear princess, they are all here" he said holding his hands up.Rebecca didn't understand "If she was so evil, why not scatter her limbs all over the world? Make sure she never gets put back together again?""You see that's the thing, some of us contemplated the fact that if there ever would be a monster that cannot be defeated, we needed a monster to fight back"Rebecca laughed "That's such bullshit, she was the very monster personified!""Ah yes, but let's not dwell on the past, I want to go bring her back to the world of the living""Why?""I want her to be my Queen... I will care for her more than Vlad ever did..." He looked at Rebecca "Where is Vlad?""Apparently my mother killed her""Your mother!?""A twin blood named Tala, she was married to Ray Vl
Digging deep into the bare holes of her soul the compulsion worked on triggers, what she wanted most in life, her pain, the suffering, and what she has lost that meant dear.Rebecca stood in one spot shaking as the voice conjured deep hate from her.'Your life was ruined, your joy taken away, what hopes of the future do you have young princess?'"I..." She tried answering, but the voice came with hands, she did not see them but they grabbed the memories like physical objects and drew them in front of her.'Villa was killed... Your mother was killed... Your father imprisoned you...'"Stop!" She yelled holding her head.'No, don't fight it, deep in you you have a flame of vengeance burning, it needs fuel'"I don't want..."'Stop lying to yourself! You have insulted yourself, others have insulted you, underestimated you! You are Princess Vladimir Tamaska, the first Royal Hybrid, take your throne! Show those who smeered mud in your face who you re
"So you're the infamous assassins I heard so much of?" Danté asked still standing with his wings well hidden.Jane and Duke didn't like his method of stance, they saw he was attempting to hide something."Come quietly Danté, we mean you no harm as long as you cooperate" Duke said.Danté watched the two closely, he was still uncertain of himself, a world has opened up filled with colors and lines, lines lead to things he has yet to discover and the clouds of light around people told him more, more than just reading someone's body language.He looked at Jane, her cloud a murky grey, his new instincts told him she was uncertain, that was obvious in her body's posture, legs slightly widened to be ready at the drop of a dime, and hand forward as insurance should she need to defend herself.But if he could read her uncomfort with merely seeing her, what's with that cloud around her, Duke has one too, its situated around their hearts.Mayb
"Cradle of man kind?" Danté asked."Yes, years back archeologists discovered skeletons in a cave, they presumed these where of the first humans on the African continent, but, when Vlad asked the knights of the round table to do everything in their might to prevent her from rising again, someone had the initiative to keep the skull until a suitable hiding spot could be found""And?" Danté asked."Mrs Ples, that's the name of the skull currently on display at the Ditsong national museum of history in Pretoria, but little does everyone know that skull is actually the one of Rachel, swapped out when no one was looking"Jane typed in the details and found the pictures on the web "This?" She asked holding a photo clearly taken of this scull inside a glass case."That's the one"Jane looked at Duke "What do you think?""Its obviously the perfect hiding place, but just to be sure, I suggest we go burn it, crush it, whatever it takes" he said.
"Skyler, you must go after Rebecca, she must be stopped!" Asena said rolling her shoulders and sizing up Sebastian who got up from his fell position.Skyler stood in awe over her at first, double her length but covered in fur, not fully werewolf but halfway there at least."How did you?""There's no time Skyler! Go after Rebecca! She must not reach Svalbard!" Asena said and moved.Sebastian wanted to take Skyler down but Asena was too fast for him now, she tackled him to the ground and pinned him.Skyler hesitated."Go!""But what about you!?""I'll be fine!""Promise me!"Asena looked up at her worried face."I promise"Skyler took a step back, giving Asena in that form one last good look, then darted out and took off.Sebastian kicked Asena from him but before she could clear his personal space her claw slammed into his kicking leg, she roared swinging him over and with the momentum she built from his kick she slamme
