I have just experienced what the best day of my entire existence is, now I would be foolish if I believe that things shall now go back to some kind of normal. Though in saying normal, I am referring to a life where a Vampire spends his life peacefully in the comfort of his home. Now in the Belmont house, what can be seen as normal should be absolute chaos. And chaos is exactly what is about to erupt as Edward confirms what item is missing from the Council house. Now another word that should be accompanied by chaos is pure horror. I think that there should be nothing that scares me by now, but I have just been proven very wrong once again.
The tale goes such as this. It was many years before I was even destined to become a Vampire. There was a group of supernatural creatures, to be precise, a witch, a wizard, a sorcerer, and yes, a fairy that decided to compile a book with the strongest and some very dangerous spells the entire supernatural world has seen. It carried spells th
It was the year 1745, Europe was riddled with Vampire killings, more so London in particular. At first, I thought that the Vampire Hunter had gone insane and gone on a killing frenzy. That time there was no treaty between the Vampires and Hunters, so naturally, I descended down on his home and threatened to kill his entire family if he did not stop killing my kind. But I was very much surprised when he had said that he had not killed a Vampire himself and quite a few years. Now, this did alarm me for what creature would then be behind the killings.Now there was something different about these killings; the Vampires that have been slain had been somewhat mutilated, more ravaged, I would say, they were killed beyond the point of death was truly necessary. But not only did we find Vampires killed this way, there were humans that met the same fate, but the majority was Vampire, I would say.So as what it was now, it was then a custom to use a Vampire or, in some instances
There is a sound of absolute terror that fills the forest as chaos erupts before my very eyes. It is hard to see under the struggle that is a bundle in a ball of tumbling bodies if my beloved is still moving. As I watch one Ripper by one get pulled off from her lifeless body, it is pure agony that shoots through my body. It is with absolute impatience that I wait to be untied. The minute my hands are free, I leap to her in an instant.While I kneel next to her, I watch as the Rippers get ripped themselves. Well, I guess it is true that every dog has its day; in this case, a Ripper has gotten what he had coming.So as I shake my beloved, I need to find the urge not to cry in front of all that is present. I know that she is okay; it is only the terror that has her beyond scared."My beloved, they are all gone."Very bewildered, she opens her eyes; her voice is a soft whisper underneath her shivering lips."Sebastian, what happened?"From behind
After what seemed like the longest hour of my immortal life, Connor and his pack safely escorted us out of the forest. With this new information in hand, we make our way back home to share our discovery with Edward and Victor. The big question begs, how are we going to resolve this matter without drawing too much attention to ourselves.With that in mind, we soon find ourselves walking through the front door, where we are met by a very frantic Victor and a somewhat worried Edward. Unlike Edward, I do believe that Victor does not carry the same faith that I shall, no matter what, always bring the ones that are dearest to me and that accompany me on such a mission safely back home. He seems to have built a somewhat stronger bond with Lilith since the whole incident with Lucius, which I understand, but the man has grown slightly overprotective.Now, if this is welcomed by Lilith, I do not know; I have never seen her to settle with one man for a period of time. That in its
This bears too much for my heart to take; there is no way I have ever imagined that I shall lose Lilith in such a way. I do understand that she requires companionship, but why can they not remain here in the Belmont House. What I am also aware of is that they do fear for the safety of Stefan, for she does not have to mention a single word. I do know that both Victor and she believe that I am a danger to be around. This does sting my heart, I have, and I shall always ensure that she and the boy will be safe.Yes, there is a great enemy waiting for us to face; I would prefer that she remain here until the threat has passed."My dear sister, there is a monster that is lurking in the shadows that are threatening to step forward. Please can I beg for you to hold off your decision once we have safely retrieved the Book of Spells?""I know we are all in great danger; I have not made my decision yet. I felt I need to discuss the question that Victor place in my path wit
I have a very worried Anastasia staring at me; now I know what the poor girl is thinking; she is wondering what does 'cleansing of the mortals' means. Well it means, the strongest shall survive, for the darkness shall unleash every creature that nightmares are made of. And these creatures prey on the lives of mortals; they range from taking their souls to ripping the very thing that beats which keeps them alive. These creatures shall eliminate those who are too weak to be part of the perfect mortal race.So it is with pure panicked horror that Anastasia asks the question that I am sure even the Vampire Hunter knows the answer to."Do I even dare to ask what the other spells are?""My beloved, there shall be a spell that will, if you wish to say, cleanse immortals too. Now, if he follows the book to perfect detail, the next shall be to cleanse the very creatures that have just cleansed the mortals for him."And when you say him, you say you know exactly wh
They say that life is made up by a series of defining moments; it shall define who you are and whom you shall become. I do believe that the way we shall overcome the Book of Spells shall define the legacy of the Vampire. Now, this will never be one that we shall outlive, but it shall be the one that we shall gain the respect of other mythical creatures in this realm and even beyond what the eyes can see.Now, why should such a feat be tasked to a Vampire, for the simple fact that we are the superior race. There are the ones that compare in strength, but they are only but set to reap destruction between themselves. But then you find a human that wishes to harness the power of something he truly does not understand. Even worse now, he wishes to speed up the pace at which the Seven Spells should be cast; this is a recipe for disaster that is about to unfold rapidly.So I am not sure if it is with pure luck or plain stupidity that we find ourselves standing next to a cemet
Every man's life lies within the present, for the past is spent and done with, and the future is uncertain. Even though the future is uncertain, you should choose to embrace the unknown and have faith that everything is going to be okay. This may not be tonight, tomorrow, or the next day, but everything is going to be okay.I, myself, am a strong person, but every now and then, I need someone to hold my hand and tell me that everything shall be all right. But if all of those around you are wanting for you to be that person to them, you need to be the one that rises through the storm, forget about your own fears, do not wonder, do not imagine, and most of all, do not obsess about the things that make you feel uncertain. Breathe and believe that everything shall be fine in the end; if it is not, that only means that it is not yet the end.The question begs, do I tell the truth and tell them what it is that they need to hear, or do I tell them what I feel I want them to h
It is said that if you follow a plan step by step that it should not fail, so why do we find ourselves facing an empty void of nothing? If this man is casting these spells in the order that it should be done, then there should be a rip in reality, a tear from which bright light should come. But instead, we are standing at the entrance of the crypt, where many of the elder Vampires have come to their final resting place. Perhaps he just finds himself to be slow, or he is having trouble in performing the spell as they do become more difficult the stronger they become.So while we patiently wait for something that is best to not happen at all, I dial Edward to find out how things are at his end."My dear Edward, any sign of unrest with Connor and his pack?""Sebastian, they do not seem to be here.""Like taken or just gone?""That I cannot tell you, but something does seem odd."This news does bother me somewhat, for Connor would not leave his
I think I have said this before, and I shall say this once again. Edward is nothing but a bearer of bad news. It is like a pesky little bug that follows you around. Now, if I did not love the man so much, I would have slapped him a long time ago. But what does concern me is that why he is he coming with this to me now, for I have clearly made a promise to both my beloved and the Windchaser boys. My hunting days are over. "My dear Edward, I do not see how this is my problem. Yes, it is a concern that the child got away from you, but it is not my problem to go find him. Now I shall inform the Windchaser boys." "But my dear Sebastian, it is..." "It is nothing. It is not my problem to go solve. But please do amuse me and explain how it is that you did so?" "Well," Edward starts. "After the Windchawer boys dealt with Lucius in their way, they suggested that we follow our Vampire Code and take care of our own." "Just wait one second
...Edward POV…We seem to have become a bit of a problem; now, I do not wish to ruin Sebastian's return after he had this time to unwind and return to himself. Well, while he was away, we dealt with our great problem. Now, nobody knows of this yet; apart from Lilith, Zachariah, and me, we have kept it purposely away from the Windchaser boys.So I have just collection, Sebastian and Anastasia from the airport and we are returning home. While he was away, we moved back into our previous home that is now repaired, and we conveniently burned the one done where this entire incident happened.Now I know that Sebastian can read my mind, so I have occupied it with a certain lady still awaiting my return at home. I brought her home from the pub last night, and I am yet still to have my pleasure with her.This has now proven as the perfect cover to hide from Sebastian what truly is going on. So as I see him in the rearview mirror, I can see the man has a rat
…Anastasia POV…It is early morning, and we are getting ready to head off to France. Sebastian has been trying to convince Roberto to come with him, yet he is reluctant, and as he says, he is truly not in favor of the weather in London. Well, I definitely agree with him there.But it is sad to see the two brothers having to say goodbye again. Sebastian is trying hard to keep the tears away, for he wants to keep this from his brother. It is not that he does not trust him; it is what others will do to him to get to Sebastian.So I have stepped aside, and I am watching the last of the beautiful scenery before getting onto a train to go to France.In the distance, I can hear their final words that will be for a while, and that to a Vampire can be a hundred years."My dear brother, I am going to miss you. Please reconsider coming with us. You can always meet up with us in London in a few day's time.""Sebastian, the offer is temptin
…Anastasia POV…Sebastian is absolutely sinful; we had all the Vampires that were in attendance at the ball in a complete buzz.The Vampire Master and his insatiable beloved…that is what they called us.We are here in Scotland for another day; hereafter, Sebastian wishes to move to France; it is the next place he went before he ended up in London. I feel privileged to make this journey with him. I know it is sacred to him, and this is most probably the most intimate time that I shall spend with him.And as I lay her next to him, I see that beautiful smile on his face that I have grown to love."Sebastian, I would say good morning, but we do not sleep. And if we could sleep, then I would say we did not sleep.""Why on earth, my beloved?""Because you cannot keep your hands to yourself.""I am only showing you love, my beloved. The love of a Vampire.""I am tending more to lust."He runs his han
The moment we stepped through the door, the attention of the entire room turned to my beloved and me. Now, if we thought that we would not cause a stir, I truly was hoping for the impossible. With their glances firmly on me, they bowed their heads, welcoming the presence of my beloved and me.After acknowledging their gesture, they all raised their heads, and I showed for them to continue to with what they were doing. Now the shock in my beloved's eyes is beyond that that I have ever seen. I have in all my years as Vampire Master not had an entire room full of Vampires bow down to me.I guess that no one ever expected the Vampire Master to come out and enjoy an evening. So much to my frustration, I have to go from one elder to another to greet them. My beloved soon breaks away from me as she starts feeling bored by the routine.Once I am satisfied that I have done my duty, I scan for her across the room; as I spot her in a far corner, I sneak up from behind and
My beloved has just found out that I have a brother, a real brother, which many years ago we were, in fact, blood brothers. Now, I am his Master and his Maker. Now, if I thought that the little vixen would take this well, it does depends which side you see it from. So I have just told her and Roberto has left us alone, well, I wish that he never did."Anastasia! Aaahhh, god, why did you do that for? You just bit me?""Oh, come on, Sebastian, I know you enjoyed it.""Well, perhaps just a slight bit, for one second there I thought you were going to rip my throat open.""The thought did come to mind, but I think we both do not want me to turn all Ancient again.""That is so considerate of you. Now please tell me that you are not mad?"She looks at me for a brief second; as she starts stepping forward, I start stepping back. The woman is about to leave another gash in my skin. I think she is enjoying the pleasure far greater than me."Seb
The moment that my beloved spoken those words, I felt as if my world came spinning to a halt. I can simply not take another surprise, especially if it is the creature kind. Now I came here to relax and not to be disrupted, so whoever is the driver of that vehicle is going to see not such a pleasant side of me today.So as I look through the window, there is a great relief that sets over my body, well, that is only for but a brief moment, for I am about to get it from both directions.Now for the first one, I will have to make my way downstairs."My beloved, I know who the driver of the vehicle is.""What do you mean that you know who the driver is? Did you pick up that it was following us earlier?""I am afraid not; I have known the person for rather a few years.""How long is few.""Perhaps as long as what I have been a Vampire, maybe a few years less.""Sebastian, what are you not telling me.""My beloved, let me go do
…Anastasia POV…So we are off to Scotland. To be precise, Edinburgh, where Sebastian was born and also where he was turned. My childhood is very little known, so after much discussing and pulling of straws, Sebastian won, and we will be taking the seven-hour drive to Scotland this morning.We decided against flying to, as Sebastian says, get the experience of a couple on holiday. Now, if Vampires have holidays, that I do not know, but we both need to get out of this godforsaken place. The fact is, no matter where we go, there will still be Vampires, and god forbid, some creatures around. Just as long as we are not hunting them, then I am pretty fine with that.My terrible experience is still very much cemented in my mind, and that is, unfortunately, one that I shall carry with me for an eternity.Sebastian has been very patient and understanding, and I love him for that. I do understand that he, too, is going through his own demons, that he
It has been a long night, but only but a few moments ago, my beloved opened up those beautiful blue eyes. Now her first words."Can I stop dying, please."I only but chuckled at her and held her close in my arms, never wanting to ever let go.This was a very close call. It brought a weird bunch of men together, but we save my beloved, and that I shall be forever grateful.Now, after much convincing and a few threats, my beloved and I are heading downstairs to go thank this very weird group of men. So as we come around the corner into the common room, they are all just as surprised to see her.The weirdest of all is dear Bobby; now the man has jumped from his seat and is giving Anastasia an awkward hug. A Hunter is hugging a Vampire, definitely a moment to treasure. Then Connor comes with the very same sentiment."Can you people stop dying now? You damn Vampires are dying more often than our humans."We only but burst out in laughter a
