Not wasting any more time, Kim pushed the door. The smell was the first thing she noticed. It was awful. If death had a smell this would be it; rotten, spoiled and bloody. The stairs spiraled down into what she assumed was the cells.
Cautiously taking a step down, Kim hesitated still expecting a group of guards to rush in. however nothing happened but a torch lighting up along the walls. Deciding it was as safe as it could be, she darted down the spiral steps, torches lighting behind her.
"What are you doing down here?" A deep voice snapped right as she stepped off the last stair. The guard must have heard coming down, even though she didn't make any obvious noise. Quickly glancing over his shoulder, she noticed he seemed to be alone, just as Maximus said.
"I said wh--" he didn't get to finish that sentence
..Cassius PovThe execution feast was in full swing. Cassius stood in the grand ballroom watching hundreds of the oldest and most powerful vampires mingle and feed. The two blonde vampires that he uses for sexual fun, eyed him across the room. Cassius ignored them and downed another alcoholic drink. His mind was clouded by one blue eyed vampire, that has yet to make her entrance; Ana. Even as bad as he wanted her, the conversation he had with sister a couple of hours ago kept replaying over in his mind~~~Two hours earlier…~~~Cassius waited until he knew Gwyn had taken Ana upstairs before he questioned his sister."Catalina what do you really want" He snapped barely containing his anger. When Catalina was around it meant trouble for everyone else. Cassius knew there was more than just their mothers awakening
."She's using her ability! Stop her now!" Ferox ordered. Everyone turned their attention to Acacia who was still standing and starting at Marcos head. Only difference was she was shaking and her skin took on a blue tint. It was freaky. The thought didn't cross my mind that she had an ability, clearly she did and it was strong.The guards charged her. Acacia didn't move until they were almost on her and then she attacked.Long, jagged icicles sprang from her wrists. She back flipped and stabbed one into the eye of the first guard to close in and another into the heart of the second. The room was so cold now that her chains crumbled to pieces as soon as she yanked them."I WILL AVENGE MY LOVE!" Acacia roared viscously. The queen was nothing but pure rage now. A few vampires looked terrified and cautiously made their way to the door.
.Cassandra allowed her eyes to bled black and her fangs burst free as all her rage surfaced when she turned back to Catalina. It was time for the princess to die..."Your mine b**!" Cassandra roared and then she attacked...Ana PovThe guards were closing in on Seb and Jace. My instincts to protect them took over. I raised my fingers and four short blasts of lightening shot out and stuck all four vamps with excellent precision. Their bodies exploded into black dust causing Jace and Seb to duck and cover.Wow, that's new! I have no clue how I did that but it doesn't matter right now. Before they could even stand back up, I launched myself at them, hugging them both a little too hard."I'm so happy to see you guys!" I exclaimed"You too Ana" Jace said with much relief"Are you okay? Have you been hurt?" S
.Catalina PovShe heard Cassandras screams of revenge even after the ebony skinned vampire took her away. The pain and fury of her voice alone left Cata on edge. This piece of unfinished business needed to be handled immediately.More guards had finally entered the destroyed execution room and rushed to her side."Find me Raven. Now!" She ordered losing her balance and falling to one knee. Cassandra did a great job of shoving the platinum star deep into her core. The poison was working its way through her body, killing her slowly. Lucky for her that it was only one star or she'd already be dead.A few guards flew off following her orders while another helped her to her feet. In less than a minute the Goth clothed witch came strolling into the room, assessing the scene"Hello
..Simon PovSimon was nervous but he didn't want to show it. Marie on the other hand looked fearless. She stared down Talon with a bravery he didn't expect. Still he worried for both their safety. With everyone else gone, they had next to no chance taking out the vampires alone."Why don't you just walk away Talon, while you still can. And take your pet too" Marie bit out. Talon folded his arms and a sly grin covered his face. The smile was unnerving.Kim however hadn't spoken a word. Since they popped up she didn't really even pay them any attention. Instead she continued to stare at the palm of her hand as if something were there…"I'll go little girl if I can take you with me" Talon replied with a wink. Marie balled her fist."Ove
Marie PovIn a matter of seconds, everything changed. The brother I grew up with was no more...Everyone watched speechless as Seb disappeared right before their eyes. The sound he was making was anything but human. Marie thought it reminded her of a lion but deeper. So deep in fact that she could feel it in her own chest."What do you mean roar of the wolf?" She questioned Helia"I mean that your brother is very special. Just watch" The crone replied.Marie turned her attention back to Seb and her heart dropped. Seb wasn't howling anymore but growling. His eyes were beaming a bright yellow and had doubled in size. His fingernails had changed into claws and he began using them to rip off large chucks of skin off his chest. Beneath the skin was black thick fur like hair. It was the color of the night sky and so
He Is The OneAna Pov"Seb?" I say again hesitantly.The wolf stops licking and slowly nods its massive head. I slap my hand to my mouth to keep the scream in. Oh my goodness! Seb's a wolf! How did this happen? As I continue to look into his eyes I realize he doesn't look upset. His silver tail is gently wagging as he continues to patiently watch me."Can you change back?" I ask. This is such a blow to my mind that Seb is actually a werewolf! I wonder how all this happened? And when? Seb's ears perked up and he tilted his head to the side curiously. The act was so adorable I couldn't help but smile.Maybe he can't change back and is stuck this way . The thought breaks my heart and I can't help but reach out and comfort him. My hand caresses the side of his jaw. The fur is so soft I could rub it forever.
Pain Of Rejection.Cassius PovBeing locked in a dark cell for two days was not something Cassius was not used to. He is a prince and princes should never be treated this way. It made him angry! More than angry but furious.How could my father do this to me ? Cassius thought.It was bad enough Ferox killed Acacia but locking him up for defending his mate was beyond unnecessary. Cassius couldn't do anything to save his mother but he would do something to save Ana."Fuck! I need to get out of this cage!" he yelled pulling on the bars for the hundredth time. It was no use. These cells were built especially to keep vampires trapped inside."I see you've settled in nicely my prince" Raven said popping up outside his prison right before his eyes.
..****LilyThe moment Bobby walked out the door her heart dropped. She couldn't just let him walk away from her. Lily refused to believe all their secret kissing sessions meant nothing to him."Hey wait!" she shouted jogging down the dirt driveway after Bobby. He stopped and turned to face her. "That's it. You're just leaving?" she asked angrily."Yes I am. I'm not dying for this shit. If you are smart you'd leave too" He replied casually. Lily placed her hand on her hip."What about me? About us?" She questioned steeping closer."Get real, there is no us. I mean come on the making out was ok but I only did it because my options were limited and I knew you wanted me" He arrogantly gloated. Lily slapped him hard across the face. The
