Absolute horror fills me as I hear my love's terrified screams echo through the streets. Without even considering the consequences, I move in lightning speed towards the animal that has his claws around her delicate throat.
"Get away from her!" I shout as I approach the creature. "Be gone, or I shall end your miserable life right here."
"Sebastian, wait!" Edward who is not as fast as me, manages to catch up and come to stand by my side. He pulls me back as I get ready to attack.
I look at the monster staring back at me as I continue to stand my ground. "Do you have any idea who I am?" I ask. "Who are you, and where did you come from?"
Edward steps even closer to me, "We have not seen your kind here in over two hundred years. Answer the man, where did you come from?"
The man finally speaks but not with the answers we are looking for, "She is mine!" he snaps back. "Go find your own!"
I laugh at him mockingly in his face, "That is where you are
...Anastasia POV...Behind me is the very same thing that had his claws around my throat in that alley. But that was a monster, and this, this is a man. He might be a vampire but yet there is something that draws me to him. I want to be so mad at him for deceiving me the way he did, but then he looks at me with those deep brown eyes, and nothing else really matters.Now, he is behind me, holding my body in a way that no man has held me in a very long time for. The way his soft lips are rubbing against my naked skin is making me crave him in ways I should not even consider at all.But what if…"Sebastian," I call his name as I lay my head back against his chest."Yes, my love?""Will you ever bite me," I ask. "Will, you ever bite me if I did not want you to?""My love, I would never hurt you."But I am curious, so I ask him more, "Is it sore? When you bite a human, is it sore?""It does not hurt at all," he explain
Something is terribly wrong. Edward knows best not to interrupt me while I am in the confinement of my room. And to barge in while he knows I am with Anastasia is even more out of the ordinary for him.I quickly rush to dress. I turn over to face Anastasia that is startled just as much as I am. “My love, please wait here while I go attend to this matter.”“I am coming with you.” she protests while gathering her clothes from the floor. “Just give me a second to get dressed.”“You will remain here, please,” I insist. “I am not sure if there is any danger. I shall be back as soon as I can.”“Promise me you will call for me if you are in trouble?“, she takes my hand and rests it against her chest.“I will request your presence if need be,” I assure her. “Now, please get back underneath the covers; you still need to get some rest.”“Sebastian.&rd
I have brought danger to my love; the very thing I was protecting her from is now threatening to take her away. I cannot let them take her; the things they would do to her, I cannot even think of. There is only one way to protect her now. I do hate that it has come to this, but there is no other way."My love," I softly whisper in her ear."Yes, Sebastian?" she asks, turning her head to look at me."I am so sorry for what I am about to do."I do not give her one second to say a word. I ever so gently lean her head to the side. There is no time for being slow now; this has to be done and done at once. I bear my fangs for the entire room to see, and with one quick flick of my head, my teeth are sunk into her neck."Sebastian." I hear her scream. I close my eyes and pretend for these few seconds that it is not her who I am about to drink from. I hold her strong and make sure I am nestled firm...then...I suck and suck...and once more, I suck. I can fee
My dear Anastasia has been lying here in my arms for almost a day. She has not stirred much but for a few tremors that riddles what I fear could be her dreams.What has my foolish behavior done to her?But this truly begs to bring a question, did I release too much of my venom into her?For I fear that her transition into a vampire might have begun, and her tremors aren’t dreams, but her body is slowly dying.As the sun slowly starts to set on this miserable day, I once more feel her body stir. I pull her even closer to where her head is resting on my chest. I close my eyes and think to myself that only if I had left her alone in that alley, none of these beastly things would have happened to her.“Se…Sebastian,” I hear her whisper, and I immediately sit up straight.“Anastasia, my love. My god, you are awake!”“Sebastian, what happened?”“I was fooli
...Anastasia POV...There is a rage starting to grow in my body, not only for Sebastian but for the way I am feeling. Sebastian did what he did for the mere reason of saving my life, but did he have the right? I no longer think so. For the pain and agony my body is experiencing is beyond what my fragile body can take. I thought that sleep would have done me good, when in fact, it has only made me feel worse. My head feels blown away by the most horrible throbbing. My body aches in hooks and crevices that I did not know even existed. If I knew death, then I would say this how it felt.What was I thinking of allowing a vampire in my life when all he did was bring danger to me? How would a love between us even have lasted, for I would grow old, and he would never perish? But let us not forget that he kills humans for their blood; how long would it have taken him...in fact, he has already drunk my blood, drank to a point where I am near damn dry. And in doing so, he has pu
My dear Anastasia is standing at death's door. She is faced with a decision that no mortal should ever have to be faced with. But if you should think about it in such a way, this is a choice easily made. For you either die and fade away, or you gain immortality and live forever beyond today.What frightens me the most is that she has chosen Edward to be her Maker. Apart from how it works in the order of things, she should want me to be the one take helps her through this transition. Now I know that Edward would never defy me, and he knows that I should be the one. I am the Master, and they shall obey. But will he do so to save the woman that he knows means more than anything to me? It is not long until he makes his appearance to me as I wait silently outside Anastasia's home."Sebastian, I am so glad that you are here," as he walks close up to me, I can hear a tremble of fear in his voice."What is the matter, Edward. Please tell me Anastasia is still alive?"
To say that it has been the longest night of my immortal life is most definitely true. Anastasia was turned only, but a few twenty-one hours ago, she has not stirred since she drank from me, but Edward has assured me that she is still very much living, not living as a mortal anymore, but she has now become part of our dark world. Dark depending from whose point of view you look at.One point of view that will not be the same is the one of Anastasia's when she finds out that I am her Maker. But I fear that when she awakes, her craving for blood will be greater than ever before. Then this begs the question, does she feed off Edward, or do we deceive her once more? One thing I do know, she is going to require the guidance of a vampire to show her through this change. Whom will I allow to be her teacher while I am unable to?So I have called a meeting with Edward and Lilith to discuss this very matter. However, we shall conduct such meeting outside Anastasia's home in the
My beloved is out on her first hunt with Edward. Their unexpected victim has just entered the valley and is none the wiser of the danger she is in. Now how this should go is Edward needs to take the woman down, as Anastasia will not yet possess the power in her still very fragile body to do so. But this is not what happens.Much to the shock of my eyes, I see Anastasia overpower the woman from behind in less than mere seconds. Edwards steps back and does not even assist with keeping her victim pinned to the floor. Anastasia has taken the woman down and has her body pinned down with but only her one leg. The woman does not even move. She throws her head back like a howling wolf and exposes her fangs that are clearly not those of a young vampire anymore. In one flick of her neck, she drives them deep in the woman's neck and begins feeding. Edward watches her and then gives her the command to stop drinking. I watch as she stands, then wipes her mouth and kicks the dead body of h
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
