Lunas pov I knew before Brax even said anything that my baby was gone. I knew that was why no one would tell me anything. They were waiting for him to be the one to tell me. I know I should be shutting him out. I don't blame him for any of this; I blame myself for bringing Ava back for not listening to myself and doing something about her the second I got a bad feeling. My heart is broken for the child that I never got to meet, but also the child that saved me. I remember that as I went towards the light, I felt something inside of me: a warm feeling of love and protection. I knew at that moment that my baby was healing me, giving its own life so we both wouldn't die.I can't feel myself getting lost in my emotions, and I know that I need to keep everyone away from me to protect them from me and the darkness that lives inside of me. The pain I'm feeling right now is enough to make me want to scream and cry until I can't anymore. But I know that won't solve anything.As the reality si
I drove all night, and as the sun started to rise, I came into a city called black water. I decided this was where I would stop, a fresh start to be whoever I wanted to be. No one would know me here, and Brax, Pearl, and my family wouldn't think to look for me here. I parked the stolen car in a dark alley and made my way through the empty streets of Black Water. The city had an eerie feeling to it, but I didn't care. I was free from the pain of my past life, and I was ready to embrace the darkness that now consumed me.As I walked through the city, I could feel the power coursing through my veins. It was intoxicating and empowering. I felt like I was unstoppable; nothing or no one could ever hurt me again. I knew I needed to get out of my hospital gown and find a new identity, so I made my way to a store and stole some clothes. As I looked at my reflection in the mirror, I didn't recognize the person staring back at me. My eyes were cold and empty, no longer bright blue like they used
I sat at the bar, watching Spike order another drink for me. As he handed it to me, I took a long sip, feeling the warmth of the alcohol coursing through my veins. I could feel Spike's eyes on me as I drank, his gaze full of hunger and desire.After finishing my drink, I stood up. "lead the way".He got up, tangling his hand in mine, and led me to a staircase that led down to a dimly lit basement. He closed the big, heavy wood door behind us. I stood there looking around the room. I noticed all the windows were blacked out with black paint, and all that was in the room was a mattress on the floor, a table and some chairs. Spike wasted no time coming towards me. He pushed me into the wall, turning me on and making in between my thighs wet. he pushed my hair out of the way and started kissing my neck. My body started to scream for him. I ran my hands up under his shirt onto his cold skin. "you smell amazing", he mumbled against my neck. I felt a sharp pain in my neck like he had just s
After our kiss on the rooftop, Spike took my hand and led me to his favourite place to eat in the city. I was a little surprised when he brought me to a nightclub and also a little disappointed because I couldn't remember the last time I had eaten. When he saw the look on my face, he laughed. "Sorry, princess. I probably should have said something else."I shrugged it off as he grabbed my hand, leading me to the front of the line, where the bouncer lifted the role, letting us walk straight in. As we walked down the stairs, the sound of loud music filled my ears, the bass vibrating through my body. Spike led me to a reserved table in the VIP section, ordering drinks and gesturing for me to take a set, which I did. A tall-skin blonde girl came over, taking a seat on spikes lap. Moving her hair from her neck, she allowed him to drink from her. Jealousy hit me. I didn't like that he was touching someone that wasn't me, but I knew that he had to drink blood, and I wasn't going to allow him
We danced for hours, spike feeding me his blood to keep my high going. I never wanted tonight to end. I had never felt more alive and free in my life, like nothing could touch me, but as the club was starting to clear out, Spike pulled me in close to him. "come on, princess, we better get home," he kissed my cheek before grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the door. I didn't want to leave, but I knew that I had to stay with Spike if I wanted to keep feeling the way that I was. His blood was addictive. As we made our way back to Spike's basement, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease creeping up on me. The high from his blood was starting to wear off. Spike led me into his dimly lit basement, where he sat me down on the couch and poured us both another drink. As we sipped in silence, I couldn't help but think about how Spike had become a vampire and what things he had done with his life. "You know," Spike finally spoke up, breaking the quiet between us. "You're not like any
I fell asleep and stayed asleep for some time; when I woke up, Spike was over, sitting in a chair, just watching me sleep. A flashback of something similar that Brax had done came flashing into my head, but I pushed it anyway as I didn't want to think about him; I just wanted to forget about him and my past. "I thought you were never going to wake up," Spike said as soon as he saw me and my eyes.Sitting up, I looked around the room. Since all the windows were blacked out, it was hard to tell what the time was. "How long was I asleep for?" I asked."All bloody day," he replied as he got up and came towards me. My head was pounding from all the alcohol and vampire blood I had drunk last night. Yet, my body still craved more blood; I thought I would have woken up hungry since I hadn't eaten in days, but instead, all I wasn't was spikes of blood. Spike sat down on the edge of the couch, looking at me with concern in his eyes. "You really went all out last night, didn't you?" he said,
I tried to ignore his words, but they lingered in my mind as I made my way through the dark streets. The darkness inside me continued to whisper, tempting me to give in to its power completely. I knew that it was wrong to do the things it wanted me to do, and I knew that if I kept letting it control me, I would lose myself forever, but losing myself to the darkness was better than having to feel the pain that I felt from losing my baby. But as I walked, I couldn't shake the feeling of guilt that gnawed at me. Spike's words struck a chord within me, reminding me of the consequences of my actions and the importance of controlling the darkness that threatened to consume me. The darkness in me was stronger than anything, and the more I gave in to it, the more it grew.I found myself torn between the two conflicting sides of myself – the powerful being that revelled in chaos and destruction and the part of me that still held onto a sliver of humanity.As I wandered aimlessly through the n
We walked a few blocks before stopping in front of a dimly lit store. Pushing open the door, bells rang. As we did, I gripped Spikes' hand tighter. "It's okay; I would never do anything to hurt you, Luna," he said softly.I followed Spike into the dimly lit store, my heart pounding in my chest. I had no idea what to expect, but I knew that I needed help. The air was thick with the scent of herbs and incense, and a sense of unease washed over me as we approached a figure standing behind the counter.The woman had dark, piercing eyes that seemed to bore into my soul. She looked at me with a mixture of curiosity and concern, as if she could see right through me. "What brings you here, child?" she asked in a voice that sent shivers down my spine. "your darkness is not welcome here.""This is Luna, the girl I told you about," Spike explained. The woman nodded before she turned her gaze back to me. "You carry a heavy burden, Luna," she said softly. "But there is hope for you yet."She moti
