My desire to feel the ecstasy that Anastasia brings has once again overcome my common sense. Not only have I declared herself as mine in front of a room full of Vampires, but I have pushed her away in the same breath.
Now, if I thought this forsaken ball was over, I am so sorely mistaken for Dante has decided to have a sit-down. Why does one come with the idea that a bunch of Vampires should sit around a table and drink blood from a wine glass is purely beyond me.
But do wait for the worst part of this; the man has so conveniently seated Anastasia next to me. Now is this tortured bliss or a pure act of a game that we have played for many years. I am hinting at both, for that vanilla is attacking my senses, but there is something else this time. It is lily; she has adorned her body in the sweet smell of lily and vanilla. How have I missed this before? The mere thought of the sweetness makes me want to delve my body into hers.
But then the man makes one very fatal
It has been one long torturous week. I have seen her come and go as she had to, sadly, go feed by herself. The desire to take her in my arms and make sweet love to her drove me silently insane. I can honestly say, being a Vampire with a soul is a death sentence. The pain that is cutting through me piece by piece is beyond the sleekness of a sword that is being driven through the softness of your heart.I wish there was a way that I can rid myself of such a curse. I have had, with our brief encounters, the urge to lose myself in her mind and get a glimpse of what she is feeling. Then I need to remind myself that she is but a mere Vampire; she will not feel the endless pain that runs through my body.The question begs, do I want to give in and push the pain away. Truly I have, but then from out of complete nowhere, that demon comes creeping its head up again. Yes, I did ask her for time, but how long will this lasting stay in the abyss that consumes me. It is not that I
Today we are crossing borders. We will find ourselves in the Americas, where a very good friend rules as Vampire Master. He is, by all means, forty years younger than me and far too charming around the ladies. I am a bit nervous about letting my beloved make this trip with me. My heart has forgiven her for the difficulty that we recently experienced. My mind still somewhat wanders to a place beyond my control. Now I am in no way saying that this Vampire shall seduce her, but yes, the man is a real Casanova; words roll from his tongue even smoother than melted honey.Now I shall be the one to admit that we did in our days together get up to some rather questionable things, things mainly with the female kind. If my beloved thought that my encounters only spread as far as Europe, well, she might just hear a few stories that shall make her eyebrows raise. So, I am indeed somewhat nervous, for I shall either receive a slap through the face and more certain a very cold bed from her
It is hard to say who is more in awe of Lestat, my beloved, or our Vampire Hunter. The man does carry a rather, how shall I say, a fairly attractive face. There were many occasions that we had to compete against one another for the attention of the lady that we had set our sights on that particular night. And I can almost proudly say that I lost the majority of the time, yet it did not stop me from stealing what he so gladly called as 'mine.'So after the introductions and, rather amusingly, a moment of pure horror when he learned that the young man in our company is, in fact, a Vampire Hunter, we make our way to his home. Now the man has always lived lavishly; seeing what he calls home is just beyond crazy. It is a rather mega-mansion, which he refers to as the Golden Palace. In my honest opinion, it is rather bright and unsightly. But that is beyond the point; we are here for a creature problem, which I would like to exterminate.While we all sit around some fairly l
We have just seen somewhat of a rather strange situation. I did, and by all fairness, the rest in our group, we have come to believe that both men that have just come down the alley are, in fact, men. Well, we have been sadly mistaken, for the one man, and it is not quite clear from where we are standing, has overpowered the other and is now, in fact, eating him alive.The terrifying screams are near enough to make my skin crawl. The sudden flush of blood in the air is telling us that this animal is ravaging this poor human at an alarmingly fast pace. Now, why one of us is not moving, that I do not know, though that is what we came here for. So much to my horror, my beloved starts approaching this creature."My beloved," I try to whisper as softly underneath my breath as possible, "Where are you going?""To help the man, of course."Lestat that has seen the extent of the wounds that these victims have started to laugh softly from his chest. "My dear Anast
It is clear that we have once again met our match by some unknown creature. Very unknown to us, but something which I believe the Windchaser boys have dealt with. I do really find it horrific the things that they deal with. Here I worry about a Vampire that is throwing its toys out the cot, where these two see things that one can not even sit and imagine up yourself.So as we all stare in anticipation at this man that seems to find this exciting, I am near damn ready to slap him."Out with it, boy.""Now for calling me a boy, I shall gladly feed you to it." He but pauses for a few brief moments, "Oh, but I forgot you are already dead."Well, this is only a Vampire Hunter joke for Anastasia; Lestat and I do not find this amusing whatsoever. And as expected, they are just about to carry on with their laughter at our expense, so I rudely interrupt them. "So how do we kill this monstrosity. In fact, what do you even call it?""It is a Lev
I have just agreed to be the fool that shall play bait. Well, there shall be no way that I shall allow my beloved to become bait. The only one that shall be attacking her is me. And let me tell you this, I much rather want to be somewhere else than here, for I have three men, whom I believe are Leviathans that are making somewhat of a nervous stroll up to me. One shall think he shall launch himself at me and turn my insides out, but no. He is, with his two friends in tow, coming up to me rather slow and ominously.And then.The man is in front of me so fast that one would think that he is a Vampire. I watch as he unhooks his jaw and opens it so wide that his entire face has become a set of teeth, but wait, that godawful split tongue seems to horrify me even more than the teeth. I know that any minute now, he is going to make mince of my face. But then I do remember the dagger that I hold in my hand. Now my great idea to take him from behind is just not happening. The t
I do believe that we have found ourselves in a bit of trouble once again. Now this one is truly a first for us. We have managed to move from one really horrific situation to one that seems at this stage only bizarre. We have not yet come to known who is behind this kidnapping. There is only some oddly dressed cab driver that has taken us to this rather disgusting warehouse with the foulest stench.Now I do believe that my beloved is taking this one fairly well; as for our dear Vampire Hunter, well, I do not know if he is irritated or terrified. At the best of times, the man's face is rather hard to read. Then again, the Windchaser boys come with the very same package; therefore, I do believe it is a Hunter thing.So as I try to whisper in my beloved's ear, this rather annoying little cab driver keeps telling me to remain quiet. Well, he can count himself very lucky, for I would have slapped that annoying face so hard it shall spin beyond tomorrow.With this thou
It was the year 1751. I had gotten involved with a woman, one of those that at the current time I felt that she was the one. I gave up my ways to spend what I thought would be our eternity. Now I shall admit that having a sexual appetite as I do, it made me do this rather foolishly. But yet I thought this woman was to be my beloved, which I was later relieved, I did not mark. The problem is that we lived together with this illusion in my head that we were the Master and his beloved, it was a notion that I became accustomed to. When Edward finally spoke some sense into me, when he showed me the wrong in my ways, I immediately, well, it is rather ugly to say, but I did throw her out and ordered her to never come near me again.And so she did, I never heard or saw her again, so I thought that I could confidently say that she was no longer part of my life and that she had moved on. Later years I did learn that she had encounters with Lestat while we were together. Now it did infu
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
