2024-10-29 19:42:56Blake & Nora's P.O.V
"What exactly are we doing here?' Nora asked Blake as she sat beside him over looking the road. It was a cold and chilly night and Nora wore a light blue sweatshirt over a tank top and blue jeans that nearly blended in with the night. Her silver hair was tied securely in a ponytail while stranded hung on her forehead. Blake on the other hand, had on a much more lighter attire which made it so that the cold air hit him. It's not like the weather bothers us but me being once human myself, it felt comfortable and right to wear cloths that felt normal. Nora didn't want to dwell on the past and instead took Blake's hand into hers, drawing his attention to her for a brief moment.
"What's the matter?" He asked and reached to brush strands of those loose hairs off of Nora's forehead then running a finger along her cheek tenderly.
Just before Nora could respond. They heard tires screech down below and the sound of a car going off road while the horn of the one driver that got driven off the road blared loudly. "Don't tell me you brought me out here just for this Blake." she finally said completely forgetting about his question from earlier. "Marcus will have a fit if you bring this person in to be saved." The anger she felt bubbled like a cauldron and she instantly got to her feet.
"I really doubt it," Blake said as he too got his feet while placing a gently hand on her shoulder. "Marcus knows full well that this is what I do."
"I understand that this is what you do," Nora said as she turned to look down below them at the accident that just occurred before them. "But why must you bring me along every time?" She asked him, sounding more upset that normal.
"Calm down," Blake said gently as if he didn't want to upset her anymore than usual. His gaze was nothing but gentle and he continued, "If it comes down to this being the last person I save just to make you happy, I will stop."
"Do you promise?" Nora said with a half smile. Blake nodded and with that they both turned to go help the person down below.
The car was damaged beyond repair. The driver, whom was a female was slightly unconscious. There was blood pooling from the wounds on her head and side. The smell of it made Nora's fangs poke through her gums and as hard as she tried, she couldn't make them retract. She was as new to being a vampire as all the other ones that Blake saved before her.After Marcus and him made the decision to send them to the clan that they were banned from, Blake chose to keep her with him. Nora learned over time how to control her instincts but sometimes when the call for blood was strong she couldn't help herself and the beast lurked just below the surface waiting to be let out.
"You alright?" She heard Blake's voice and that was all she needed to tame herself. Nora's fangs went back into her gums and she was able to focus on the situation at hand. She nodded and went around to the driver side of the vehicle and went down to peer at the woman.
"We are going to get you out of here." She said. "What's your name?" Nora asked her and a weak reply responded.
"Emery." She sounded young, maybe in her late twenties. She had long light brown hair and it was strewn everywhere from the accident.
"Alright Emery," Nora said. "Try to stay awake while we get you out of the car."
"Okay." Was all Nora heard before she looked at Blake and she said. "She's lost a lot of blood."
"After we get her out of here we are taking her to Marcus." Blake said instantly as he flipped the care onto its' wheels and then tearing off the top and front end of the car, releasing Emery from the dented part of the steering wheel.
"What are we going to do about this pole?" The metal was pretty deep into Emery's side and it leaked of even more blood slowly.
"Leave it for now." Blake responded. "If we try to take it out ourselves she will be gone before we get her home." Blake lifted the girl into his arms and both him and Nora raced to the small cabin the resided in the woods.

Marcus Wilder's P.O.VI sat on the water edge of the lake thatsatbehind my small cabin. The waves rippled with the wind and the sun had begun to set behind the pine trees casting rays on the ground. At this hour vampires were allowed to come out to enjoy it while it set in the horizon, giving them the longing of being human once again. In those moments, however, I too enjoyed it as well. I longed to be able to go out in the sunlight, to run wild like never before and to see some girl that I had feelings for, radiatein the sun but I knew from years pasts that in a way, it would never happen. Humans aged compared to vampires. We never get old. Always staying the same after we turned. It takes centuries for one to tame their instinct to attack anyone with a vein. I, However was entirelydifferent, scientists found a way to make vampires. More so pure bloods and I was one of them. A genuspig for their tests. Of course I don't remember much of

Emery & Marcus' P.O.VI regained conscious enough to open my eyes weakly and noticed that i was no longer in the wreckage. I still heard the same familiar voices that had gotten me out of there instead of leaving me there to die. "Where....." I heard my own voice, raspy and raw from thirst. I saw the girl with the silver like hair turn and then look at the man standing on the opposite side of the room, slowly I turned my head carefully so that I wouldn't cause any dizziness, to look at the man standing next to me. I wasn't in the hospital like I thought I would be but took in what my vision could see. Wooden walls, a side table that had flowers on the top, and the feeling of being on a table which felt metal beneath my fingertips."Don't move," I heard the mans voice say in a demanding tone. I was too weak to argue. "You were hurt pretty badly in the crash." He pointed out as he directed my attention to the pole that stuck out of my side. Oddly

Marcus’ P.O.VI felt the leap of my heart in my chest. Emery was a very strong woman who wanted another shot at living, only from a different perspective that our kind provided. The only difference was the overwhelming crave for blood that every fledgling went through in their first three years of turning. Many beforehand learned how to tame it with proper training and skills. Since I was created into being a purebred, I learned quickly to tamper mine. Emery however was willing to go the lengths to have another life outside of being human. Apart of myself was going to explain that this life was different compared to her mundane life at some point but until then she was going to have to adjust and learn.“We don’t have much time before heading to our sleeping chambers.” Blake snapped me out of my thoughts and I shook my head to clear it. “The quicker the better.” He added with a slight tone of amusement. His hair shimmered

With Emery’s consent I put enough force behind my bite to pierce her flesh. I felt her wince but she knew that this needed to be done. Her blood filled my mouth and to be honest with myself it tasted oddly good. It was sweet and slightly coppery but it was the essence of all our kind in order to continue living. When I was forced into this existence, I swore to myself that I would only hunt on animals and back then I was part of a clan that knew only power and hatred. When one of the members turned a human without their consent, they pointed fingers at me and my friends for the blame. In turn the leader banned us to never return. I closed my eyes to distract myself from the past and swore I saw Emery’s memories. Her as a little girl, twirling around in a Cinderella dress for Halloween. Her as a teen, making plans for college in high school and what she wanted to be when she was finished. I held back a slight chuckle at the thought of her being a Disney princess for

One Month Later….My red hair which was brown a month ago swayed in the breeze. The crisp air was strong in my nostrils . My newfound life was not like it used to be. Before I was human and had a shorter life span than I do now. Why was it so different? I looked back at the moment that Marcus’ blood had changed me. I was trapped in my head for the longest time, remembering what I had suppressed when I was six years old. I’ve been a vampire for over a month and I still didn’t understand how everything works. My hearing, my eyesight, and even the simple thing as speed. Marcus was teaching me how to tame the crave for blood but every now and then I found it complicated to focus on small tasks like I had before the crash. It was a headache and I had promised to try harder to control the urges that always seems to want to consume me.“It will take time and practice before your able to fully control the blood lust that our kind has.

The pain had subsided and I was able to open my eyes. At first, everything was blurry from being out for a long period of time. I saw a woman’s face looking at me worriedly. She had silver like hair and eyes that saw through you. Not like I could care at the moment. I was awake and that is all that mattered. The room that I was in was dark, the curtains drawn shut, and a dim light was casting shadows in every direction. My sight on the other hand seemed different, my hearing enhanced, and a heartbeat. My head snapped toward the sound and saw a mouse moving alongside the crevice of the nearby wall. I drew my attention away from the tiny creature and back at the woman. “Where am I?” My voice was raw from not speaking and my throat was parched from the lack of water.“Your awake.” The woman said excitedly. I peeked at her once more before glancing down at my clothes which was stained with blood. “I’ll inform Marcus that your

I turned the shower on, allowing the water run for a bit so that way it could heat up. I loved showers because of how it made you feel afterward. Clean and refreshed. It was also my way of escaping reality when I had a long day at work or just to relax. I put my hand underneath the spay to feel it. It was hot enough to burn the skin but that was how I liked it. It helped my bones melt and and just enjoy the feeling of being alive. I was different. I felt it in the very depths of my soul. I wasn’t the mundane Emery anymore. My stomach ached all of a sudden and I clutched my abdomen as if that would relieve the pain but it didn’t. I turned quickly to the sink and hurled. Blood coming up from my throat, it tasted coppery, raw, and good but also food that I had ingested yesterday afternoon before all this happened. Chunks of whatever I ate was combined with it.The bathroom door opened and in came Nora as if she knew what was going on. “Are you alright?&rd

*Castle of Shadows*Sarene DeMarcoI leaned my hip against the grand marble windowsill overlooking the night veranda deep in thought. I had dawned my sleep wear for the day ahead. It was near midnight but she wasn’t ready for sleep. Our people were able to experience the sun from over the horizon and that was it before it peaked fully in the sky but in doing so had its’ effects. It slowed our ability to function. Our thoughts always a mess and vision blurs. In my opinion it sucked. The sun begins to rise around six o’clock in the morning which in itself five o’clock horizon. I was leader our people and as such I felt the urge to disband the position of my second in command, Gabriel Hues. At times he was a ruthless warrior who always sought out that he got his ways. I hated it more than my own people did. Of course, knowing Gabriel, I had a sense that he’d attempt to replace me by sending Rogues to destroy me. I feared when that day c

"Where would we want to start looking?" Blake had asked me once we left Sarene's Council room. "Gabriel isn't just going to be waiting around for us to catch him." "Given his state of mind at this very moment," Marcus said in return to Blake's comment, "He isn't really the Flash. Moments before the explosion, Sarene had linked me stating that she had drugged him on order to get him in the dungeons. His speed isn't the greatest and what she had given him will last at least a few hours." A few hours isn't going to cut the deadline. Who knows what he has in mind after it wears off." Nora piped in. "We need to find him and end this before he exposes our race of extistence." "I'd rather die than let that ever occur," Marcus replied. "I understand from his perspective that Gabriel wants revenge over an incident that happened centuries ago." Marcus' gaze went to me as he spoke and I felt as though he was trying to tell somethig silently but I didn't know what. I gave him a small shrug and

Sarene had been in the dining hall awaiting for the council when she heard the massive explosion and while she attempted to find cover, she shouted to a number of her gaurds and ordered them to check the dungeons where Gabriel was being kept. The fear that Gabriel somehow managed to lure one of the human gaurds to do his bidding was evidant within her and she quickly got to her feet. A group of gaurds came in, their armor shined beneath the moonlight while a loof of concerned formed on their faces. "What's going on?" Sarene asked. "Did you sweep the cells to make sure that he didn't escape?" Daryl the head command of the gaurd elite spoke. "We did and found that his cell is empty." Sarene’s face went paler than normal and as she took a breath she spoke with a calm tone, "We need to find him before he gets too far. Take your men and sweep the perimeters and the outskirts of the castle." Darly bowed, "As you wish your majest." He looked to his men and sai

An hour had passed and we were already on our way to the road that we spoke of. The thoughts that constantly raced through my thoughts had made me uneasy.Gabriel was once my friend, one that had kept me sane in my time at the labs. The place that those cruel scientists decided to create the very first race of vampires as far as I knew of anyway. There were more of us than I had envisioned honestly. It made me think about whether or not I was the first or those bastards had lied to our faces. What more did they keep from us? From me that I should of known about before? Was Sarene and her parents the first race?I shook my head and turned my focus to reality. As I zipped through the trees and underbrush of the of forest, I looked up at the sky, noticing how bright the stars had gotten alongside the moon, to which it was full. A group of clouds had formed to cover a portion of the moon, causing a mystery vibe from above. I heard Emery's voice loud

Blake returned a few minutes later, after I had instructed that he'd scout the area. His dark hair was disheveled from the wind and his eyes glowed softly under the fire's embers and his cloths seemed off, as though he had gotten into war with some type of animal but ad I sat on the sofa, checking and double checking to make certain that there was no errors in the map that I had hidden in my closet, was correct, his voice rumbled over my thoughts. "It is clear, Marcus. I made sure that nothing was on that route."I took a breath and folded the map that had been resting lightly in my lap and placed it on the coffee table sitting before me. "Good." I said in all bit a whisper. "Now all we need to do I wait for the girls and head toward town to get everything else from the storage space.""Are you certain you want to do this? Blake asked, a hint of concern rose in his voice. "Who knows how many men Gabriel has in store for us.""I am. Gabriel has this grudge agains

I felt the sun wan slowly behind the fabric of the darkened curtains as I laid underneath the satin sheet on my bed. My head rested on the pillow while my arm rested under my neck. I rolled over and stared at the ceiling while my thoughts were at war with what to do about the plan to end this charade with Gabriel. I hated the idea of everyone that I was close to get hurt and being holed up like animals when the reality was that we had done nothing wrong. Sarene had been forced to make the decision that very day because Gabriel sought out revenge for what had happened at the labs. The truth was this, I was scared. Scared of going into that place where the scientists had created us. The first line of vampires that had existed. Me and Gabriel and possibly more who had died trying. It made me wonder if Sarene and her parents were apart of what they were doing.The urge to ask her was strong but the Remus pack had a close eye on us the whole time but we also had access to th

I heard voices but they were only echoes in my mind and for a brief moment I had thought that I was going crazy. Memories flashed before my eyes. Of Marcus and I, locked in the cells of that lab. Doctors doing their rounds and scientists not far, jotting down our results in charts that were unable to be seen. The moment Marcus was able to escape was they day began to loathe him for everything that he was. The friendship that we had formed was now gone and in its' very place was a sense of revenge. It was more of a need than a feeling. Marcus had abandoned me and that was enough to never want to see him alive. Fate on the other hand, had its' course and when he showed up at the castle that night, he saw the opportunity. The chance to exact that need.I heard myself grunt at the thought and by the time I fully came to focus, he realized that there were more than two guards dragging his dead weight down into the dungeons and of course he was too weak to do anything. The gu

Remus Pack Meeting“What are we going to do about them?” Emelie Drake had asked Jarvis as she paced frantically back in forth in front of the grand oak table that sat in the massive dining room. “The newborn was close enough to the castle that it made me worry that they'd figure out what is going on.” Her face, dulled by shadow and a faint red and orange glow from the fire, made it seem as though she were fierce and let's face it, Emilie wasn't fierce.“I doubt they would of gotten close enough,” Jarvis said as he placed his goblet of water on the table in front of him. “They don't know a thing as of yet and when they do, things won't end pretty.”“How long can you keep this up?” She asked as she flopped into one of the chairs that seated the rest of the pack. Her eyes said so much and yet didn't bother to say a word. Emelie wasn't the talkative type and the only thing that got her to speak

I waited for a response and with every second that had passed, my adrenaline had kicked into the point of worry. It’s about time you decided to drop that wall of yours. His voice eased itself in teasingly and the thought of it made my insides sort of melt like ice cream. I took in a sharp breath as though something had hit me but then it was also the fact that I was nervous about the fact that I was about to tell him what my crazy and obnoxious plan was. The fact that I was about to do something insane with Blake and Nora by my side to do it. You don’t need to tell me anything. I already know what is going on. My eyes widened with shock but then again I had an inkling on how he did. Nora or Blake must have said something to Marcus without me knowing and I suppose that it was alright considering the situation. I was about to do something very reckless and stupid without even thinking.I guess it was Nora or Blake that must have said something. I s

My thoughts raced as I used my new found ability to rush through the forest trees and underbrush with Blake and Nora behind me. I felt the small breeze go through my red hair, which had changed when I turned. I no longer had a heart beat so the sound of it bounding in my ears was no longer visible but that wasn't what really concerned me at all. It was the impending situation that was ahead of me and the though I was immortal, there was still some things about this life I still needed to get used to. One was my other powers that seemed to lay dormant inside of myself and the fact that I haven't had the chance to really discover what those were. It made me worried that this encounter with Gabriel and his strengths may exceed mine considering that I was still a newborn and couldn't truly understand the levity of my own morals. Marcus may of taught me the basics of being a vampire but there was more to it than met the eye. I understood all of it but when I was told that I had hidden ab
