There is a loud bang, then a deafening scream.
Panic sets over my body.
Has the Belmont House come under attack? What great force as laid siege over my home?
It is with short, little stuttering breaths that Breyden speaks through the phone, "Sebastian, something has happened upstairs. I need to go."
"Breyden! Wait! Is it Anastasia?"
He hesitates for a few brief moments and need not even have to answer. My entire body feels like it has been struck stiff and thrown into an abyss. Has Anastasia gone into labor?
I understand that she shall scream, but what was that loud bang for?
I need to get back home; I cannot wait here for this man to return.
So with absolute haste, I make my way back over to where Edward has taken a seat, but just as I am about to sit down, I get a call from Breyden.
I immediately drop down into a panic next to Edward, "Breyden, what is the matter? Has Anastasia gone into labor?"
"Sebastian, she
My beloved, Anastasia, has opened Pandora's box.Now the girl has done some crazy things, but this is by far the worst that she has done. I am starting to understand that if you tell a woman one thing, she does the opposite. Well, next time I shall tell her what to do and then she will not do it. But somehow, I don't think that I need to test that theory.So the Windchaser boys and me, inclusive of Bobby, have just arrived at the Belmont House. I have no idea what lies ahead of us. The box is set to release all the evils that one can find. It is also believed to confess what one deeply desires. Now, don't we all desire things that are pure evil and selfish in a way?Well, this brings me to why? Why did my beloved open this box? The girl should be in bed nursing the baby in her belly.But before we shall come to that matter, I have Morgana standing behind me telling me that she has gotten the prophecy wrong. So this does indeed spark my attention first.
I look into the eyes of my beloved. What stares back at me is not her soft blue eyes, but instead, bottomless black holes. There is an evil on her face that stretches her smile far beyond of what her face is capable of holding.I have, much to my own disgust, kissed some ungodly creature, and it is not my beloved. Well, yes, it is the body of my beloved, but it has been possessed by some greater evil. What, that I truly do not know. But we shall soon find out as the boys step inside the room.The immediate reaction of my beloved is a clear look of terror. She, or should I say this evil, must know who the Windchaser boys and even dear old Bobby are.So I step back from Anastasia, where she is clinging to the box with great force, and I join Breyden by his side. Now, I do not care how this plays out; all I need is for my baby to be protected. But then, Breyden, much to my annoyance, needs to remind me of one simple fact."Sebastian, we do not know if that i
I can recall clearly the first time that I was daring enough to break into the blood bank.I was a youngling at only the age of a few months. My Maker, who was also my Master, was trying to teach me restraint. Yet even though in the beginning he thought that he was succeeding, I soon prove to him how spectacularly he was failing.I had, after having quite the encounter with a sweet your nurse, I came to realize that there was an abundance of blood that can be freely taken. Well, that was my firm belief.Now I did soon realize that it was not the same as the heavenly nectar that so warmly came from a very much living mortal. It was quite a different taste to get used to, but what was an added bonus is that you could choose your favorite blood type.Well, to say that I did not get carried away is an understatement. There was soon a shortage of blood, and at first my Master did not put the pieces together. But the moment it became known tha
"I said drop the blood."I hear the click of a gun and the footsteps of a man coming closer.My first instinct is to spin around and tackle him with great force to the floor. But I do not know who is behind me. So I do as he says, and I place the packet of blood gently onto the table."Now," I hear the man start to speak again. "Put your hands on your head and slowly turn to face me."I look over at Edward that only but shrugs his shoulders. Very reluctantly, I place my hands on my head and slowly turn around to face the man that has a gun firmly pointed against my head. And as I finally face him, it is what I expected.We have just been caught red-handed by law enforcement.Well, there are only two ways that this can go. I can either overpower him and take him down in a spectacular way and most probably bring the Vampire's existence into question, or I can give in and let the man take me to what I presume is going to be jail.S
…Anastasia POV…There is a burning inside of me that I can no longer fight. It feels as if my body is going to be ripped open any second. The turmoil I feel inside of me is beyond anything I have ever felt. Yes, this indeed not the way any pregnancy should feel like; well, that is what I guess.Now, I have not been present in my own body for far too long now. Lucius has taken over and has been keeping me suppressed no matter how hard I have been fighting. The whole sick thing of this is that I can feel his every thought and emotion. And god! The things that he has planned the moment that he rips himself out of my body are beyond what I ever can imagine.I would like to believe that Sebastian will make his elegant appearance before that even happens. But we all know that in order to kill Lucius then, they will have to kill me. I cannot see how I will survive childbirth with a, well, let us call him a baby for now, but I will not survive with the rat
…Anastasia POV…They have brought me to what seems to be like a basement. My eyes have been blindfolded so I have no idea exactly where I am. What does strike me, though, is that it has some oddly familiar smell which I am unable to place at the moment.At the moment, Lucius is now starting to show signs that he is ready to make his arrival, but yet there is something that they are waiting for.Now I am not complaining, for I truly do not want to see this birth through, that is, if I am going to survive it. But as he is reminding me so often about whenever I try to resurface, he has made it quite clear that I shall not survive this.Well, I guess that is just one thing that I have to start accepting, though I wish that Sebastian was here. I do not wish for him to see me dying; I just would have like to say my goodbyes.As for my own goodbyes, by the way, that Lucius is ripping my insides out, from the inside, I wish that it would come
It does make me furious that my beloved has been right in our own home this entire time. Now I cannot blame the boys for it, but the fact that Elloise shall be so bold just shows her nasty ways of playing one for a fool. I shall get very much pleasure from bringing her down. But before her, there shall be Lucius.Now how big Lucius will be is rather debatable, but we will assume that he will be like any other nine-month baby. So I shall be faced with the vision of a child in front of me when I need to decide if I kill the evil. Which does trouble me some bit.As for the demons that are most definitely roaming my house, well, we have the rest of us bunch that shall make good of it. But, what is troubling, is the skies and, do I even dare to say, the sidewalks as we drive by.It seems that people with viable vessels have been taken over. Now I have no idea how these things will be taken, or removed, or what you call it, but how will they leave these humans that th
We are standing in front of the door that shall lead us into the tunnel that goes to the basement. Ahead of us is the Vampire Army, lead by a Vampire Hunter. We have a group behind them that consists of three Hunters, an Angel, three Vampires, and a Wizard.What a truly bizarre combination.Our mission is to save my beloved and end the life of the King of the Underworld before he is even born. In our way is an unknown number of demons, and behind them the power of a fairy.So it is with great fear in all our minds that I release the spell to open the doorway to the tunnel.We are met by the stench that makes our stomachs cringe to pure horror. These vile creatures have done what they have done the best, and that is feed of the flesh of each other. I can for sure say now that after this mission has ended that I am burning this house to the ground.So we step into the tunnel with this ever-increasing nauseating smell filling our senses, but we
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
