…Anastasia POV…
I should know by now that with every step we chose to make, that there shall always be some sort of consequences. Now it would be foolish to think that these consequences are in any way something that shall be welcomed. Well, let me think of it this way, is it such a bad thing to be a human? Only when the love of your life is a Vampire. Then take being dead; that is one which will rather be irreversible. But with that, another thought comes to mind, though, that is just completely absurd.
But decision time has arrived for the full moon is starting to rise in the sky. Do I wish to end my legacy? Or stay this ungodly creature forever? My decision is as final as this spell.
"Please let us go ahead with this."
Then Sebastian, with absolute horror on his face, turns to me as to plead the last time.
"My beloved, are you certain of this?"
"Please, Sebastian, let me do this. If I die, then you can get a spell
So goes the story of my life; nothing can run smoothly before something else goes wrong first. Taken all the battles we have gone through, I can honestly say that I always thought that the last was the worse than all the others before.Now what has become quite a custom is that I have been the one whom they shall turn when things start to fall astray. Not that I do mind this, but the pressure for failure lies even heavier on my shoulders. Despite what is assumed, I do not possess all the answers, nor do I have the ability to make things right all the time. Even though I shall strive to do so, I can not guarantee that if you come to request my help, that you shall find a resolution.But with saying this, I do and always will make sure that my loved ones will be safe and that they shall have whatever their heart desires. And in saying this, I would never regret a decision made to give them the safety and things that they desire.That is up until now.It is
I cannot truthfully answer Anastasia's question, for the only option for me is being a Vampire. She shall always be my one and only true love; the question is not what I will do; the question is, what part she shall play in my life. Not that I shall ever shy her away, it shall be more like if she will choose to have a Vampire in her life. For one, I can say that it shall be a rather dangerous lifestyle for her, and not to even mention that the community shall not approve of a human residing in the Belmont House.This is indeed a problematic situation that we do find ourselves in. I cannot tell her what to do, and neither can she expect me to choose between immortality and being a mortal. And as we have seen with these things, you cannot trust for something to go as planned. Who says if I taste Breyden's blood, that I will for certain become a human again.So it is with somewhat mixed emotions that we find our way up the stairs to our room; now this shall be where she s
Déjà Vu, a feeling that one has experienced a present situation.Anastasia and I have been here before, and do I even dare to say that it might go the same as the first time around.I do not wish for her to be accidentally bitten and then be turned into a Vampire against her will. There is a very big part of me that wishes that she would allow me to do it again. What does truly trouble me is that she seems to be considering staying human.But I do not wish to think about that now, for, at the present moment, there is the beauty that I want to lose myself in tonight. I genuinely believe that I can control my hunger for human blood, for she is my beloved, and that is what makes it different this time.So once again, "My beloved, do you wish for me to stop.""No, but I beg, do not turn me against my will.""I shall never harm you in any way, foolishness does carry itself as my middle name on the odd occasion, but this shall not be
…Anastasia POV…I have just experienced another moment of ecstasy that goes beyond being able to be described by a single word. Sebastian has proven to me that no matter if I find myself a mortal or a Vampire, that he desires me the same. To him, he sees no difference as it is love that drives him; his passion for our love, for our union, is beyond compare. For him to have not lost control and drive his fangs into me without my consent proves once more how much he cares for me.To think I was sitting and pondering if I should stay human is something that I cannot understand. There should not even be a question, a choice to be made. I want with all of this beating heart to be back with Sebastian, yes I do know that as a human, I can experience this desire, but I do not want to see my life just end if I can extend it.So I have foolishly taken the Book of Spells and am on my way to Elloise. As I leave the Belmont House in my rearview mirror, I pray t
Anastasia is in great trouble; I can feel it in my whole being. The strangest part of this is that I am feeling our bond dying. It seems that she is fading away from me. Is this what is suppose to happen now that she is human again? But there have been many Vampire and humans that have shared this bond; why should ours be any different? Did the spell indeed break all contact that she shall have with a Vampire?I do not wish to think which is the most logical explanation, for I do not want to discover one. All that I do need to know now is to get to her as fast as this car can possibly travel. So as I stare at Edward, I do not even need to make my question known, for he knows the exact thought that is burning a hole through my mind."My dear Sebastian, we shall get to her, and I want to promise you that we shall be in time. I have to fear, though, what time it shall be. Do you know of such a spell that can reverse this one?""Edward, I was not even aware of the f
The eyes are easily deceived, and so does the mind play tricks on you. Magic has a way of betraying you, and it shall betray you even harder if you wish to use it for your own benefit. These are all facts that we should have taking into consideration.But what should I be considering here? The fact that in front of me is a woman that is a fair age of seventy is by all possibility, my beloved. This truly has become insane, so I close my head for but a brief second and shake all the images out of my mind hoping that I would see different."Sebastian, it is me. Anastasia, the woman you call your beloved.""My god! What has happened to you?""Well, it seems the spell had some other consequences.""You are here to reverse which one?""Well, I am truly hoping both.""My beloved, it pains me even more now. I should have turned you when we had the chance.""I thought you might say that, now that I have lost my beauty."Now, what
Death is peaceful. Death is calm. Death smells like cherry blossoms.Wait!"Fuck, I cannot even get this right."As I slowly open my eyes, I see what I suspected. I am very much alive; I tragically missed my heart by inches. Some will say it is luck, I, I say I am cursed. While Edward and Elloise seem to be relieved, I am slightly annoyed that I cannot accomplish one simple thing, such as dying. Yes, I do sound like a Vampire that is trying to commit suicide, which by all fairness is impossible. Maybe next time, I should consider asking someone else to kill me, or just not try to do it at all.While it takes me a few minutes to retract the Ancient blade from my chest, it need not take me a second to see that my dear Anastasia is still very much deceased. Her frail body is lying next to me, and there is no sight of movement at all. Dare I even try to drive this dagger through my heart again? Guess in a way, we are like Romeo and Juliet, only Romeo is not d
If I were not a Vampire, I would consider myself as sleeping. At the other end of this call, I have a very pissed off lady asking me why I locked her in a catacomb. I am for certain that when I left her there, she was very much dead indeed.So with the phone still held firmly to my ear, I run out of the house and very speedily bring my car to a roaring start. I need to get to her; I need to see that she is real.And as I come to a screeching halt, there right in front of me, she stands in all her glory. There is no doubt that at the entrance of the catacomb, my Anastasia is standing and patiently waiting for me.I rush toward her; there is no doubt, I am not dreaming. She looks at me rather frustrated, "Can you please get me out of here, its smells like a bunch of dead Vampires.I unlock the gate, and in an instant, she leaps into my arms. "Sebastian, you have no idea how much I have missed you." I hold her as tight as I can, squeezing her so hard that sh
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
