Raven's POV

"Stay close," Nolan whispered softly to her, his voice barely audible in the tense atmosphere.

Raven could sense the shift in the air, a foreboding sign that danger was looming. Instinctively, she positioned herself securely on Nolan's back, readying herself for the attack. They were not even there yet and were already getting attacked.

Suddenly, the Vampire darted past them in a blur of motion. This time, Raven's heightened focus allowed her to catch a glimpse of the creature.

She observed Nolan swiftly assuming a defensive stance, drawing two gleaming knives from his pants as his prepared weapons.

Okay, it was time.

Raven closed her eyes, centering herself with a deep breath as she caught the scent of the vampire, it was close now.

Strange as it may seem, her senses sharpened, becoming more acute, allowing her to track each step the vampire took as it closed in on them in a mere fraction of a second.

It was coming straight for her.

Reacting swiftly, Raven lunged forwa

    Raven's POVRaven struggled to match the speed of Jansen and Achim as they sprinted ahead, but they were damn fast. They moved with such speed that if someone had claimed they were vampires, she wouldn't have required concrete proof to believe them.She sensed a shift in the air even before arriving at the area. There were too many vampires in the area as well as Night watchers. Somehow, she possessed the ability to see the invisible barrier that loomed before her.She could hear the reverberating sound from the barrier as more vampires poured out from it. The entire vicinity was filled with an evil aura, with bloodstains splattered across the ground and lifeless bodies strewn about.Her heart pounded in her chest as she anxiously surveyed the scene, silently praying that she wouldn't spot Lumiére amidst the chaos.Jansen forcefully grasped Nolan's shoulder, his voice firm and commanding. "Find the highest vantage point and set point. You're on sniper duty," he instructed Nolan, who

    Lumiére's POVLumiére slouched on the couch, his mind filled with shock. "How the fuck do you even exist?" he muttered under his breath, staring at Joshua. After leaving the outlaws lands, thanks to Noah’s twin, Joshua, they had foregone their original plan to head back to the East Sanctuary. Instead, they had opted to return to the fortress, the reason was because the fortress was closer.The moment they arrived, Lumiére wasted no time in summoning an emergency gathering of all the Sanctuary Lords." I keep wondering how you've existed all this while without our knowledge" Reagan mumbled.Joshua rolled his eyes dismissively, paying no heed to their muttered words.The dynamic between them was amusing even though they had all just met each other few hours ago. It was as if Noah was the one standing there.The minute they got to the fortress, they had contacted Noah immediate and the vampire, was currently en route from the East Sanctuary, unaware of Joshua's presence.Lumiére eagerly

    Lumiére's POV"So, let me make sure I understand this correctly," Arin began, his gaze shifting from one person in the room to another."This guy is apparently Noah’s twin and somehow, he’s been in the outlaw lands because when you guys found Noah, he wasn’t there…," he continued, trying to grasp the situation.Lumiére nodded, confirming that Arin had captured the essence of the situation. There really wasn't a more concise explanation for what had transpired."Shit," Arin cursed. Lumiére sighed, feeling the weight of the unfolding events. He glanced at his watch once more, aware that Noah would be arriving soon, since he knew that the vampire wouldn’t race to the fortress. Like Reagan, Noah loved human technologies."I can't wait to see Noah's reaction when he meets this guy," Reagan muttered, a hint of anticipation in his voice." Hello? This guy is actually in the room…" Joshua sassed.Lumiére couldn't help but scoff at his comment, his eyes, finding his cousin, noticing that Reag

    Raven's POVRaven slowly opened her eyes, greeted by the sterile surroundings of what seemed to be an infirmary. The white-tiled walls and the IV drip connected to her hand indicated that she was back at the Watchtower. A sense of relief washed over her, knowing that she had been brought back from the brink of death. How that had happened, she didn't know.Recalling the events that led to her current state, Raven shuddered at the memory of the vampire's claws sinking into her neck. Instinctively, she reached up to touch the area, only to find it concealed beneath a protective plaster. She couldn't help but wonder how they had managed to revive her. It defied all logic. She should have been dead by now, but here she was. Alive.As the door swung open, a figure clad in a white coat entered the room. Raven noticed that this must be the doctor. The man was engrossed in the tablet held in his hands, his attention fixated on its contents as he approached her bedside. His eyes remained g

    Lumiére's POV"This is the only way, Lumiére," Arin whispered urgently, his voice filled with determination.Lumiére sighed heavily, frustration evident in his actions as he ran a hand through his hair. He understood the gravity of the situation and the task they were asking him to undertake. However, a sense of hesitation and doubt clouded his judgment.Since initiating the lockdown protocol in all the Sanctuaries, they had been anxiously awaiting any sign of the intruders. Yet, despite their efforts, it seemed that the trespassers were still lurking in the shadows. The safety of his people was of utmost importance, and Lumiére felt the weight of that responsibility pressing down on him."Lumiére..." Arin's voice came as a gentle reminder, urging him to make a difficult decision.Reluctantly tearing his gaze away from Arin, Lumiére turned his attention to the expansive screen before him. It displayed a real-time map of all the Sanctuaries, revealing the movements within. The intruder

    Lumiére's POVThe room was filled with an atmosphere of intense tension, as everyone held their breath, anxiously awaiting any sign of life from the scouts they had sent out. Lumiére nervously bit his lower lip, stealing a quick glance at Arin, hoping for some positive news.Ten long minutes passed, and they had heard nothing from them.The weight of uncertainty pressed heavily upon them all. Lord Ramona approached Lumiére and gently tapped his elbow, a sense of urgency in his voice."We can't afford to wait any longer," Lord Ramona urged.Lumiére shook his head, refusing to be swayed into hasty action once again. He had been forced to send those scouts into the unknown, and now they had lost all contact with them. The stakes were too high to make reckless decisions again."You implanted trackers in them, right?" Lumiére turned to Arin, seeking confirmation.Arin nodded, "Yes, I did. But the trackers will only activate if the scouts are still alive and able to activate them," he repli

    Lumiére's POVLumiére had been attempting to reach Raven for what felt like an eternity, but each time he called, it went straight to voicemail. He vaguely recalled leaving a voicemail message, though he couldn't remember the exact words he had mumbled; he had just mumbled stupid words.But now, she was actually calling him back.“ Who is that?” Arin asked, his eyes narrowing in suspicion.Lumiére blinked and swiftly moved the phone out of Arin's view. He couldn't begin to explain to Arin who the name on the screen belongs to."It's Middleton," Lumiére replied, his voice calm. "I need to take this call, excuse me." With that, he walked away, out of the room. He took the stairs three at a time, making sure to place a wide distance between himself and any Vampire in the fortress.As soon as he reached his room, he closed the door behind him, creating a sense of privacy. Without hesitation, he answered the call, holding the phone to his ear."Hello?" he mumbled, his voice tinged with

With a tired sigh, she cautiously climbed out of bed, mindful of the bandage wrapped around her neck. Although her wound had healed, the bandage still limited her range of motion in certain neck movements. Despite this minor inconvenience, she was relieved to be fully recovered. Raven had been tempted to remove the bandage on several occasions, since her wound had healed.However, Aaron, Achim's brother, had sternly warned her against doing so. Taking his advice to heart, she respected his medical expertise and refrained from taking off the bandage prematurely.Leaving her room behind, Raven strolled down the hallway, intentionally avoiding the path that led to Uncle Ben's study. Ever since she had gone against his orders, she had made a conscious effort to steer clear of him, hoping to avoid any potential confrontation.As she desc

She missed home too, just like him. She missed uncle Ben, Jansen, Achim, Nolan, hell, even the cook, but she hadn't abandoned everything, including her duties to her kind, to run away with the man she loved.She sighed and walked out the door to meet him outside. He turned when she opened the door, "Hey, I thought you were sleeping," he said, pulling her into his arms.She rolled her eyes, "I've been awake for a while," she said, resting her head on his shoulder.He sniffed her hair and smiled, "Are you okay?" he asked.Phoenix nodded, "I am, and yes, before you ask, the baby is fine too," she said, placing his hand on her swollen belly.He sighed in relief, "I can't help it.

What on earth was happening?Heather fell to the floor, and Lumiére saw Reagan standing behind him, holding Heather's heart in his hand. Lumiére was relieved and happy to see his cousin.

The hallway was empty, which was strange, but he didn't have time to think about it. He wanted to find Phoenix.His vampire senses were weakened by the Allicin in his body, so he couldn't rely on them to find her. He chose to turn left and walked down the hall, leaning on the wall for support.As he passed by each room, he opened the doors, hoping to find Phoenix. The alarm was still blaring, and he wondered if it was a trap.He spotted Maria and another woman leaving a room, and he knew that Phoenix might be there. He waited for a moment before cautiously approaching the room.His heart filled with relief as he saw Phoenix inside, connected to tubes and wires.

    Lumiére's POVLumiére winced in agony as Heather injected him with another dose of Allicin. The pain was unbearable, pushing him to his limits. Most Vampires wouldn't have survived being exposed to Allicin every hour for weeks, but he was different. He was stronger, or so he believed.But as the days turned into weeks, doubts began to creep into his mind. How much longer could he endure this torture? He had lost track of time since his capture, possibly a month or more. It was all a blur.He let out a weary sigh, bracing himself for what was to come. No matter how many times he resisted, Heather refused to believe him."Where is the sword?!" Heather sneered, the frustration evident in his voice."I've already told you, I don't know," Lumiére snapped back, meeting Heather's gaze defiantly.Heather scoffed, grabbing another syringe filled with Allicin. Lumiére raised an eyebrow, surprised at the sudden escalation. Two shots in such a short span of time? This was a new tactic."I see you

    Raven's POVRaven felt cold water splash on her face, waking her up with a gasp for air. The memories of her past life caused a heartache and regret that she wished she hadn't remembered them. Recovering her memories was painful, and she wasn't even fully there yet.Somehow she wished that she had not remembered this piece of her past life. She hasn’t fully recovered her memories and it already hurt this much, she thought.She knew she had tears running through her eyes, but because she was now drenched in water, it was not noticeable to the ordinary eyes, except one looked deeply.She had known Lumiére in her past life, and they were lovers. The realization that she had betrayed him felt like being stung by a thousand bees at once.Ophelia's presence was no surprise anymore. It was clear that she was working with both the witches and outlaws. Raven couldn't help but mock Ophelia's comment about beauty sleep, feeling the anger and pain in her heart.“ I think you need to redefine your

    Raven's POV"Hurry up, Miére!" Raven playfully shouted, waving him over to where she was sitting on the picnic mat.His rich laughter filled the air as he ran to join her. "Seriously! I told you to let it go," she said, teasingly scolding him.He rolled his eyes, sitting down next to her on the mat. "I couldn't help it; it was beautiful… not as beautiful as you though," he added, playfully sniffing her neck.Raven chuckled and gently pushed him away, though she secretly loved his affectionate gestures. Being close to Lumiére made her heart skip a beat. She smiled at him, and he seemed to be lost in the sunset that was now painting the sky with beautiful colors.They had spent a long time out there, enjoying each other's company, and though it was time to head back home, she didn't want to leave this moment behind."You think we could build a house here to watch the sun set in the horizon?" she murmured, voicing her dream.Lumiére scoffed gently, "Oh, Phoenix, I wish we could do just t

    Raven's POVOakhurst? Raven's mind was buzzing with questions. Why was Lumiére in Oakhurst? It was the same place she had been abducted by the witch. It had to be a coincidence; she couldn't fathom any other explanation. But she didn't want to reveal her own presence in Oakhurst to Lumiére. After all, it was almost an hour away from her home and university.Just as she was about to speak, the door creaked open, saving her from any potential lies. Finally, someone was coming in, and maybe they would get some answers to their bewildering situation.She wondered what the guys would be doing now that she was missing. Would they see this as a collateral loss and forget her or would they search for her.In her mind, she worried about Achim, who had been with her when she was taken, though unconscious. She hoped he would have been able to provide some valuable information to the others.With bated breath, she watched Lumiére, who seemed equally anxious, waiting for the newcomer to enter the

He felt the same way – being with her was something he cherished deeply.Raven reached for an apple from the picnic basket, taking a bite before offering it to him. He playfully teased her, "Feeding me now, are you?"She rolled her eyes playfully in response, "Well, you need someone to take care of you since you don't like eating. I guess that's my job now
