Slowly my eyes flicker open as I am being forced out of the van. I stumble in what is just mud at my feet, with rain pounding down onto my skin. With much force, they drag me to an entrance; the door slowly creaks open, and I can smell something that has been rotten in here for days.
Just as we step through the door of what seems like an old basement, everything goes black…
I wake up.
My head is pounding.
It is throbbing.
But before I can even think of opening my eyes, there is a blow to my head.
"Goddammit!" My voice echoes to the corners of the basement, bouncing back off the walls.
Then next, there is another blow to my head.
I am out.
Then I wake up again. I shake my head and soon become aware of my surroundings. I have a blindfold on, tied on a bit too tightly. I am tied to what feels like a pole; it is cold and smooth to the touch. My feet are tied to the chair that I am sitting on, which is probably tied to
They say that you get served what you deserve, that the stone you throw today might be the one you trip over tomorrow. I have just stumbled over my rock. If I thought that my lifestyle would never come and slap me in the face, I was a complete fool. Here I am, tied up to a chair with two Vampires staring at me, each wanting to get their revenge on their own way.Should I have seen this coming?See, once again, it had come to my very questionable lifestyle when I was only but a very young Vampire. I was very foolish then and spent my nights in bars and brothels, enjoying the sin that the nightlight offered to a great extent. Between the woman and the constant flow of expensive whiskey, I created havoc wherever I went. And this is where I met Lenora, so of course, we got really close, and we ended sharing a bed more often than I should have probably done for a man that was not in it for the long run.But ya, the woman had me for a fool for the whole time, I
I can safely say by now that all the bad choices I have made in my past as a young Vampire will, in one way or the other, come back to haunt me. Now dare I even say how many of those there are that can still find their way to my doorstep, but that is not the concern for today. Right now, I have Vladamir and Lenora set on getting their revenge over me.So as I wake up again, "Can you not stand any closer to me?"Lenora gets one godawful smile on her face as she is now running that grabby little hand through my hair, "You can be glad that I am not sitting on your lap.""My dear, you will have a better chance of getting a hard-on than me.She gestures to Vladamir, and he smashes his fist into my face.I only but burst out in a rumble of laughter, "I see you playing hard now?""Well, soft did not work," Lenora says."What are you going to do? Punch the shit out of me and hope I fall in love with you whoring ass?"She nods at
Well, to say that I have not been beating up pretty well would be a lie, but that is not my immediate concern as I head out the door to find the first phone that I can.So as I step into this godawful mansion that this man called home, I hear a scuffle in what appears to be the kitchen. Arming myself again, I sneak my head around the corner, and much to my relief, it is a goddamn cat that is going about eating what seems to be what is leftover from one of Vladamir's victims.Pushing aside the fact that a goddamn Vampire shall keep such a pet, I move towards where I can remember his study is. And as I finally find it, I am much relieved to find a phone on his desk.In little less than a few seconds, I am dialing the number, and well, "This better be good" is the greeting that I find on the other side.So only with a soft chuckle, "Connor, now that is not the way to talk to a friend.""My god, where are you." I hear him call Anastasia closer, then he
…Anastasia POV…As I step out into the doorway to the entrance of the room, there is a rather attractive red head in noting but tight black leather in front of me. The moment she lays her eyes on a naked Sebastian, her eyes grow wide with a smile that is too uncomfortable for my liking.Then as I look back at Sebastian, he only but mumbles for me not to move. By the look on his face, I can see that he knows who this woman is. And taking for the lust in her eyes, I have a fairly good idea that this is one of those whores that has come back from his past to haunt us.And haunting, she does as she does not take her eyes off Sebastian for a moment. She studies him so closely that it is driving a dagger into my heart, just knowing what has happened between them behind the closed doors that only he and I are now supposed to share.To say that I am not feverishly mad shall be an understatement. So I am going to assume that she has been scorned by h
…Anastasia POV…The deafening sound of a bullet snapping from a barrel has brought a sting to my ears. It has left the room with nothing but dead silence, with air so thick that it is near impossible to breathe. Have I achieved what I have come to set out?Well, no.And it is fucking annoying.I was mere seconds close to blowing this woman's brains all over this wall until she managed to slip away from me.Now, with her standing in the corner, I take my stance; I look at her with only but a smirk on my face. "You are going to pay for that."I watch as she stands only but a few inches away from me, with hands by her side; I hear the most hideous laughter coming from her mouth. "Oh, what are you going to do?"Her eyes seem wild with fire; there is a fury and determination behind them as she starts to close that gap between us. She is going to ram me, and god, she is going to ram hard. But I only ground my feet and wait for
It is in anticipation that we all turn to Edward that has a look of utter fear written across a face that seems to have the blood of someone smeared all over his face.Now, if that alone does not scare every single being in the room, then what he says next does terrify every bone in my body."They are everywhere," Edward stutters as he tries to express what the situation is downstairs. "They came bursting through windows and piling through the door."And as his words set that terror in me, I look at him with concern on a very troubled face, "Roberto?""He and the Angel are trying to hold them off, but we are fast losing the battle. You need to come immediately."With absolute haste, Connor and Ethan dashes towards the stairs; while racing down, Connor, from under a strained breath, turns to Edward, "Please tell me that it is not Bloodlust Vampires?"Edward only but cocks his head and grows a very worrying smile on his face, "I am afraid they
There is a terrifying grip hold over my chest as the Bloodluster behind me has me firmly pinned with one arm and reaching for the blade that has fallen next to my side.I have not been able to even utter but one word as the moment of coming near to my death starts to overwhelm every bone in my body. And every bone is what this creature is squeezing with the utmost force trying his best to keep me in place.Yet in front of me, there is another that is trying to snap his teeth at me while he grows ever so close to my face. All I can smell is their rotten breath and the blood that is still sitting fresh on his clothes.And if I thought that this scuffle of mine would go unnoticed, I have two other Bloodlusterds slowly but very ominously creeping their way over to join in the feast that they are about to have on display. However, the one that was trying to get hold of the blade has hands that are too bloody, making it almost impossible for him to p
…Anastasia POV…I watch as Sebastian is not able to say the words that I am anticipating to hear, but only takes me by the hand and leads me back upstairs, "Come, let us get you cleaned off."From behind us, I hear Connor softly chuckle to himself, "Don't mind us."With that, we find our way into the first room that comes up on the left side. The moment we step through the door, Sebastian slams the door firmly shut and starts to rid me of every piece of leather that is clinging to my body, taking his very own clothes off with very eager hands. Then he grips me by the hips and crushes my body into him; with one loud growl, he lifts my feet from the floor and carries me backward toward the bed.He lets my body fall back into the sheets; every square inch of my body dissolves into his. He leans over me and centers me on the bed before he settles on top of me. I feel him, all of him, pressed against me; I feel his cock throbbing against my thigh
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,
