It is with rather mixed emotions that I am pacing the floor of our bedroom. I do not wish for Anastasia to see the fear that has been consuming me for the past few moments. Now do not get me wrong; I love knowing that I will become a father. But what concerns me is that she has come to the conclusion that this is my legacy.
Perhaps I am not understanding the word in its true context, but all I know is that I have grown the incredible fear that I will come to the end of my immortal life.
Well, that is a thought that I shall have to push to the back of my mind as I have Edward, yes, very surprisingly knocking at the door, "Sebastian, your presence is required in the common room."
That only but fuels my annoyance that has been building to a peak for several hours, yet, "What seems to be the problem, Edward?"
"You have visitors, and they are rather anxious to see you."
"Please tell me who feels the urge to bug me at this hour?"
Edward only but c
I have come to the final conclusion that Anastasia is messed up.This is the only thought that currently comes to mind as we pull out of the driveway onto the main road. Now, this would not be the perfect hunt if the weather was not playing in our favor. Apart from heavy rain that is pounding down onto the Impala, there is a thick fog that covers the road making visibility near damn impossible.So, to say the least, this is a very eery scene that is about to unfold in front of us tonight.Now we have been given three options here of what this creature could possibly be. Well, neither one of them makes me feel rest assured that they are less dangerous than the other. What they all do have in common is that they seem to like feasting on humans. Of course, a Vampire does have the same preference, but we do not particularly eat our victim.And this little fact is what has all of us rather nervous. It is said that two of these creatures are far more powerful t
If there are two things that I am certain of, then one shall be that you do not mess with one of the Windchaser boys, and second, you shall not tell the Vampire Master what to do.Now to which option do we listen?That shall be mine, of course. Now it is almost a guarantee that this one is not going to sit very well by Connor, but the fact remains that it is my child that is growing in that vacuum, and I shall do whatever it takes so that no harm comes to him. It is not that I am saying that Connor shall harm the child, but Connor is a Hunter, and his instinct is to protect the humans before he protects anything else.So with only but one single shake of my head, I firmly look him with firm confirmation in the eyes, "I am afraid that it will not happen." I pause for a moment knowing that he is going to need some reassurance, "Well, at least not today. We have a creature that is busy snacking on the city's mortals; somehow, I think that a little baby is far more
It is with great confidence that we set forth down the street into the direction of the Oxford Underground Station. Now, this creature seems to be rather intelligent; if I wish to kill someone, I shall find my way to the darkest corners in the tunnels running underground.But for Connor, this pauses a great problem; there are far too many places that it can hide. It will have the upper hand as it hides in the darkness. We cannot afford to split up in a group again as we do not know which creature we are dealing with; therefore, we do not know the strength that it holds.So very reluctantly but with some haste, we approach the Station, now it has started to grow dark outside. To say that I am not a little creeped out would be a lie. I would much rather sit and look at the sight of my child growing inside that vacuum that I still believe will easily break if one should accidentally drop it on its side.What else I believe is that my head is not into this hunt at a
…Anastasia POV…Sebastian is off fighting some monster and has forbidden me to leave the room. It saddens my heart that he shall treat me this way. I honestly thought that he would have been more open to the idea of having a child since the last time went so horribly wrong. Instead, he is raging mad; I don't think I have ever heard him boil with so much anger deep inside.He nearly killed me.That alone tells me how disappointed he is with my actions, yet, I also disobeyed him as the Vampire Master. I do tend to forget that small detail as time passes. All I see him as is my beloved, the man I love, not the man that rules us all.But this man is now furious, and I am anticipating further words when he returns from his hunt. Now from what the Windchaser boys mentioned, that they are indeed going to battle a rather strong opponent. It does worry my mind, for I know that Sebastian's head is not where it should be at present.I know that
In all the times that I have gone on a Hunt with the Windchaser boys, never have I truly been as scared as I am feeling now. Now, I do not see why I should fear, but as I see this creature coming from the darkness, I am taken aback by only one thing…He looks like a man.Yet let us not forget that part for most of these creatures does, but this one, he seems have crawled up my spine in the most awful way. I cannot understand why I am feeling such great fear, perhaps because I know that right now, for this very moment, I am not the most powerful creature on earth.So looking at this humanoid with wormy skin, a rather rotted set of teeth, and blackened eyes, I know that this one is going to be far more grizzly to take on. To make himself just that bit more ominous, he seems to not care for a great deal of blood that is covering half of his face.And as I look down to his poor victim, well, all I can see, I can easily count how many bones she has in h
…Anastasia POV…From the darkness of the corner, there has appeared a creature, and I am afraid to say that I have no idea what we are facing. So as I look at Roberto, that seems even more terrified than me, he only but shrugs his shoulders."I do believe we have a problem."Well, I nearly feel like slapping him, but yet, "What are we going to do? Sebastian and the others are somewhere in the city.""Uhm," he pauses for a brief moment after his hesitation, "Run!""Roberto, somehow, I don't think that is going to work."As we are standing to decide what to do in the present situation, I can see from the corner of my eye as the creature is coming closer and closer to Roberto and me. There is an evil in his face that gives me chills up my spine; I do not even want to begin and guess what this thing does.Let us hope he does not like feeding.But by the smell that radiates from him, I can safely say that he is covered
Suppose I say that none of us are experiencing the greatest fear that we have ever felt, then that would be a lie. In front of us is what can only be described as terror in the making; not even one with a great imagination can realize such a thing to mind. Should I have never have met the Windchaser boys, then I would have never seen such things as what I am now experiencing.Yet, I cannot compare what we are feeling to the poor child that is being taken by this beast alive. As for the other two that are huddled in the corner, I think their hearts stopped beating a few moments ago, that is, if you could even die from terror to such an extreme.So we find ourselves here with no idea what our plan is, for we have been unsuccessful in trying to catch the darn thing that is far faster than anyone of us.And it is that darn thing that has now become aware of our presence as we step into the light created by a few candles that are bringing bright in the very same corn
I am staring absolute evil in the eyes.Do I feel fear?For some reason, I seem to have grown far more stronger than I could possibly be. If there is something that I should fear, then it is the knowledge of that. The knowledge that my body is changing, and I would love to say that it is beyond my control, but much rather beyond my knowledge.And it is with this knowledge that I can confidently glance over my shoulder and call after Connor, "Give me that enchanted weapon of yours."Well, I do not know if he is laughing at me or trying to talk me down, but with mere hesitant steps, he comes towards me. The beast is standing his ground firm with horrific sounds coming from his chest. With each hiss he makes, the poor teenagers break lose in their own fit of screams.Now, I have had about had enough of this battle. This should not be nearly so impossible to catch a thing that was once a man.So, as Connor comes to a stand next to me, Edward and
Standing in the kitchen with the Winchaser brothers feels like something that should not be from this world. Never in my years, and I am sure as with them too, have I ever thought that I would stand among the same table as two Hunters.There has barely been a wink of sleep between all present, including the poor Vampire Hunter, Zachariah. The man might as well take his residence in the Belmont house, but I don't think that that jealous part of my ego will allow him to stay alive for very long.Though that aside, I take a position next to Connor that is pointing at an article that has popped up on the screen of his laptop. So it is with great intent that we all listen as he speaks, "There has been an incident in town where a man's body has been ripped to shreds."I only but look at him rather concerned, "Werewolf?""Yes," he confirms as he seems to miraculously pull up a coroner's report, and with only a wink, he points to the very obvious. "And his heart
It is with a mood of unsettled defeat that each one of the Misfits steps off the plane into what is probably one of the worst rainy days that London has to throw at them. After much arguing and little resolution, we had decided to return home. Breyden and Lilith are in the wind, and there is no way of knowing where they are, so to say that it is pointless in running all over New York City looking for two people that might not even be there is a truth that settled rather soon.So with a newfound spring in our steps and the determination to find them at all costs, we boarded a plane back home to come to find that much-needed rest that we all deserve. But after endless hours confined in such a small place, we all were faced with the thoughts of to which lengths Breyden will still go to save Lilith, that is if she is not already saved or even worse, if she is not, in fact, dead.But these are thoughts that we do not wish to entertain as Ethan, Connor, Anastasia, and I pile
Within my grip, I have one very angry Ancient that would, given the moment, rip my throat out to bits. But beyond all these snarling teeth and the urgency to slice at my body, I know lies my dear beloved that is probably just as surprised as all of us by the reappearance of the monster that we all thought had died a long time ago.Well, I guess that Connor was right…It is a curse that you can never escape.So as I start to apply that pressure with each ticking second, I need to remind myself that I am about to kill the only woman that I have ever loved and preferably the one that I will love for the rest of our eternity.And with that, as I look over to Connor, that is standing next to me, I only but nod my head, "Stand down." But there is a very concerned Ethan and Edward that only cock their heads at me in surprise, yet, "I said, stand down." With a slight raise of my voice but not enough to startle Anastasia, I repeat to them once again. "I sai
A great man once said, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." He should have added an "aw, fuck it" on the end? That's the part I can't get right. "Fuck it, and fuck you," I say it, and I think it, and I never believe it.You got me. Damn you, Anastasia, you got me.The goddamn woman has just gone all Ancient on me and she seems to be out to prove a point.Well, I am guessing her point is firmly directed at the fact that I moved our child to a location where only I can find him.So her curse is still firmly within the depths of that body.And I am going to give it to her, she is fucking strong, but god, now she has pissed me off. She is getting her shit right back.Two seconds ago I had somewhat of a tinkle of feeling, my blood is boiling and all I can see around me is complete red as my anger is now only but flaring.So as the group comes rushing towards me, I am still holding my stance in place. Then I drop my voi
Déjà vu.Something that you experience as a two-hundred-eighty-year-old Vampire on a rather regular basis. However, I do say that more often since I have had Anastasia in my life. To take the countless number of scorned lovers that have surfaced as an example.Further taken into account is the endless trouble that Anastasia has also gotten herself into repeatedly over the just more than a year that we have been together. So, needless to say, that nothing amazes me anymore when it does come to my beloved.Now right next to me, I have a man that has a rather big smile upon his face, and I do so wish to slap it right off for him. Yet, I need to stand in my own moment and take the situation in. I do wish that it could bring the same smile to my face that Zachariah is currently experiencing, but in fact, I am near goddamn terrified.The question does be now.Do I even approach the scene that is unfolding in front of me? I can clearly remem
…Anastasia POV…Well, if there is one time that I prefer to be flung over the shoulder of a man, then that would be just before Sebastian drops me down on the bed.But at this very particular time, I find myself hanging across the back of one rather unpleasant smelling Bloodluster that seems to think he has taken some poor woman hostage. Though he had managed to rip a gash open on the exposed skin of my stomach when he so clumsily ripped me away from the rest of the group.And once he had achieved this feat, he came rushing over this parking lot to get me as far away from Sebastian. Now I know that Sebastian will come looking for me with a great purpose, but I am tired of being the poor damsel in distress. Most of all, I do not want Sebastian to remind me that he has told me to sit on the sideline for this battle.So with what can only be described as a cringe into my soul that I am lacking, I snap my head back and expose the razor-sharp tip
There is absolute terror as I watch a group of Vampires descend on the very group of girls that are making their way down the alley. Now, normally I would back down and find another victim for the night, but these are not just your average Vampire. We have, by strange luck, stumbled across the Bloodlusters that we are trying to find.But there is the very possibility that they have been following us, which would make this situation far more scarier than it is at the moment. And what else scares the living life from me is that Roberto and Edward have just reached the brink of being in their way should they, in fact, be here to do the very same thing that we were doing.Though as I watch them approach Edward that is standing his ground firm, I can safely say that they are not here for the humans.They have come for us, and we have given them the perfect opportunity to catch us without the rest of the Hunters.So not wanting to waste another minu
It is with rather great concern that Connor takes his eyes off the road ahead and looks over his shoulder at me. I am almost certain that he can see the turmoil that is building in my very own brown eyes as I meet the hazel of his.There is only one thing that is for certain as I look over to my beloved, that we are not in the shape that we are required to be as we have not fed in over a week. So taking the welfare of my Vampires into consideration, I am taking the bold step to tell Connor that we shall need to stop and feed.But first, "I need to speak to Edward and Roberto for a brief moment."Connor only shakes his head at me, "What seems to be the problem? We need to push forward.""My dear friend, my Vampires are in no state to continue at the present state they are," I take a rather deep breath as I am about to ask the impossible to a friend, "We need to feed. Anastasia will not make it through another battle."There is an immediate shock tha
It is with somewhat of a relief that we set off into the night away from the challenging battle that we had with the Were-Vamps. I truly do hope that it was the extent of the number that find themselves in this City.Yet, though this is not our City, we have vowed to rid these streets of every creature that is not welcome here.Each one of the Misfits is beyond tired but there is no giving up at this particular time for we do not know the true numbers of the Bloodlusters. And do I even dare to say that they will be required to feed to satisfy their ever-hungry appetites?Needless to say that my very own appetite is lacking something at present.Yes, not only do I have the incredible desire to feed for my power seemed to have drained quite considerably after the last Were-Vamp that I have taken down. But there is also the presence of my beloved next to me in the back of this car that is driving me to an uncomfortable rage.Well, apart from the boys,
