The weeks passed, life started to feel tedious. Going through the daily motions of being a "human" multi-billionaire was starting to grow old. I will never give up my business however, a part of the longs for some time off, just like Charles is enjoying. Perhaps I should connect with Victor now that he has returned to the city. We used to have some wild fun before he found his mate he had a great time painting the town red. I miss the hunting trips, that was a different world though, with a lot less technology, easier to lurk and hunt in small towns.
I decide to do something which I have not done in years and should have done ages ago. I am going to see the Coven Council. I need to shake things up in my life, and it starts by demanding the claim which they know I rightfully deserved. I know that many of them do not like me, degenerate, outdated old leeches. I know who I rightfully am, and they have been holding me back. Out of all those blood-sucking parasites, only a hThe time is slowly starting to arrive when I reveal myself to my old friend. For years I have been keeping a close watch on Hunter Eldridge. I am disgusted with what I have seen, he really has gone from a ruthless dark lord to a human-loving marshmallow. I have been watching over Hunter for years, with each passing year he makes one mistake after another.I pace around my secluded mansion, this is where I have been for decades, as I let him believe that I died that fateful night. It was my push for him to overcome his wallowing for that human bitch. He needed to move on from his dearly beloved and embrace his darkness, once he did, I knew he would become a ruthless monster! He has the potential is in his blood. He would never know that but, I know completely that he is a descendant of Count Abner. I was there throughout the years silently watching. I once served in Abners presence. Abners beautiful and wicked wife Theldora, they were evil to the core.It wa
The flight felt like it lasted for hours before the plane finally landed. I was relieved to be exiting the plane, as soon as I was outside, on located my car. I am very thankful to Ms. Tomes for arranging for my driver William to meet me at my location."Hello, Mr. Eldridge" he greets me with a professional smile."Hello Will, how is the family?" I ask him as I place myself in the back seat. He informs me during the drive of their wellbeing. He tells me that his son just graduated from Yale with honors. As I exit the car I give him five hundred in cash as congratulations for his son after I remove my luggage. Shocked with a smile, he thanks me as he drives away. I head to the concierge desk. The woman behind the desk is blatantly ignoring me while talking on the phone, in what appears to be a personal call. I think right there if I should invest in buying this whole to hire acceptable people! I clear my throat "Ahem! excuse me, miss!" I speak loudly
I stand here in this hotel hallway while I stare at the Vampiric face of my wife!It is so hard to comprehend unless, Bathilda did not kill her, and my cloudy human eyes deceived me. It was so dark that night, anything could have happened. I heard her scream, I saw her body lying on the ground unmoving. My only conclusion is that she had been drained to the point of unconsciousness and turned. That is a stretch but, possible. She looks at me as if she has no idea who I am?"Sir, are you alright?" I stammer then speak "forgive me, miss, you look exactly someone I used to know". Not knowing what else to say. She giggles "I get that at times, my name is Veronica Powers" she greets me as she smiles. Veronica was Eliza's middle name. I am completely beside myself. She smiles until her phone goes off. She pales, and starts to shake "oh no!" she whispers. I look at her with concern for the fear I feel coming from her. I stand here while my party watches from afar.
Every moment in time can bring about a bit of change, it could be subtle or it could be drastic.Each night brings about a new dawn, and the world is renewed. Tonight marks a historical change in the Vampiric world, here tonight in this grand manor which is isolated in the upper state new york countryside. I Hunter Eldridge have brought about a reckoning, all of these council members who sat in their lofty thrones, and held themselves as gods above everyone else, learned how it would feel to meet their creators in death.This change has been needed for centuries, and I happily paved the way with my associates. I am also glad that I was able to help Elizabeth claim the revenge she has sought her three hundred years existence since lord byron stole her life from her. I hated that man, sickening maggot, I never want to know just how many lives he destroyed on his "conquests" for the vampiric race. He was disgusting, the world does not need Vampires such as him.&nb
Camille's P.O.VThe sun poured in through my blinds, reminding me that today was a new day. Another shit show. I rolled over in my bed to look at my alarm clock. Fuck, it was seven in the morning, why did morning have to come so soon. I prefer the night, time to party and have fun in life."Camille! Are you awake?" I heard Allison shout as she came up the stairs. Just fucking great, her with her peppy attitude, I am not going to be able to go back to sleep once she enters the room. I am staying with her this weekend, I stay with her every night I come home from Portland. This time, it is the holidays, woohoo. I know most people love the holiday season, and she is annoying cheery during this time despite circumstances. To me, it is just another year of celebrating without mom and dad. They are dead, they are never coming back. Freak incident the police called it, the work of a serial killer. Nothing added up, what serial killer would have the strength to rip their thr
These last few months I can honestly say have been the longest days of my existence. So much has transpired that I feel I cannot wrap my head around. It started with the Coven council targeting me with assaults, using a human to try and poison me was a cheap me. I feel like they left me no choice but, to annihilate them, selfish swine. Next was inadvertently meeting a woman who happens to look like my departed wife's twin in vampiric form. My only satisfactory moment is when I slaughtered all of those elders who dared try to cross me.I never wanted to be King, I do not give a shit about it. I only see it as a means to an end, to use everything in my arsenal to find that treacherous bitch you turned me into a Vampire, and made my world hell. When I saw that they were in possession of an old family relic, which is that throne, that is what concerned me at that moment. I have heard tales about Abner, he was a man who was evil to the core, and cruel. He had a beloved w
I drive my car down the winding road, a million thoughts are running through my head. Everything that has occurred At that moment, a blurred figure flashed past me in a distant field. I stop the car, I am sure it is a Vampire, I take off in the direction it went. In the far distance, I can see Veronica running. I have not seen her since the other day when she caused that ordeal at my hotel. I had prayed for her safety from whoever she was running from.As I watch the scene before me, my rage surges and horror washes over me. I had no idea that Veronica was in association with her. Bathilda is chasing her. "Veronica Stop!" I hear her scream at her "NO! I am never going back to him!" Veronica snarls. "Yes! You have to! You're not allowed to be away from the mansion!" Apart of me wants to walk away, this is not my problem, and I do not want to draw attention to myself yet, for some reason, I cannot get myself to move. "Master wants you home! We shou
Chapter 37I cannot explain the events that have happened, there is so much upheaval lately. As if my life since I became a Vampire has not been a series of rollercoasters, it just seems that the chaos is never-ending. Now that I have been declared ruler of the Vampire race, I can imagine everything is about to become more intense. I know that I can handle anything the other immortals through at me with my two colleagues at my side, when Charles returns from France at the start of the new year, we will really shake everything up. It has been two weeks since the confrontation in my office, and I saw that suspicious incide
Six months, it has been pure torture. Camille slipped into a coma. I had to inform Allison, who informed all of her family. Due to the destruction of the building, I switch all of my New York staff to virtual claiming that I was remodeling to building, effectively immediately. These past months have been pure agony. Doctors are skeptical that she will never wake up. I know my Camille though, she is a fighter! She will be alright! She has to be! I have been hell on wheels with the doctors trying to pull her plug. When they are not aware, I feed her some of my blood, anything to help give her further healing. I stayed by her side every single day, rarely leavi
Chapter 48 Over the past year of my life, I have been living in bliss, I am still hyperaware of Bathilda’s threat. I have arranged security for Camille, and after a few months of dating she said she could not tolerate the idea of myself not waking up next to her so, she agreed to move in with me. I have never been happier. I know that things are going to change soon, Bathilda and her little group are deciding to play their hand. The tole of human casualties has started to rise. It is starting to make headlines, even for New York. I understand this, it is a challenge of my power. They want me to be Abner, they are going to continue to make the death toll rise until I do something about it. I am also aware of the threats I have been
The look on her face is confused but, with the knowledge that she is in trouble. ‘Yeah, you’re sweet little ass is in trouble for the little stunt you pulled!’ Mr. Gregory turns to the sound, and barks at her “Ms. Williams, clean that mess up!” she immediately lowers herself and does as she is asked. I want to scold him for his attitude but, he is not aware of our history. Instead, I approach her and help her. “Mr. Eldridge, you don’t have to help me,” she says “Mr. Eldridge? Have you forgotten me?” I ask her in a very low voice. She looks at me, she is trying to hide her longing. Eliza is pushing through, I know it.“My office in two hours, you have some explaining to do” I whisper to her. I stand up and walk away.
I left the Oregon mountain range, with a sole purpose in my mind. I needed to find Camille!I cannot believe that she abruptly left the way she did! No, goodbye, Nothing! The mere idea is painful. Do I mean nothing to her? Was I originally on sex ride all along? No, I cannot think like that! I know that Camille does not willing to do that with her teachers, and I felt Eliza’s pull towards me. What the fuck happened? I am not going to get any answers here! I need to leave. New York City here I come. I arrive back in Portland, I inform my brother of my imminent departure, I inform him that I need to return home, and apologize for any inconvenience it may cause. My brother as always is completely understanding and wishes me a safe tri
Chapter 45I continue to drive around Portland, feeling like I am going nowhere, or have nowhere to go. I am terrified to come home and find her gone. I know that she would need her space, she should be a thousand miles away from me. It would be for her safety however, I also wonder what she meant by ‘being watched all her life” did someone already know about her before I did? Was it because she discovered the truth? Either way, that means she has been in danger for years. That is a scary thought, I am thankful that no one has attempted to harm her. I drive back to the penthouse, heart feeling like ice, as I walk inside and find her gone.
Chapter 44The next morning, I lay in bed in her arms again. I feel so blissfully happy however, the horrors of yesterday's events are fresh in my mind. I am ecstatic that she agreed to move in with me so suddenly but, this still spells danger! She is being hunted by that psychotic bitch, because of me! I do not know how she found out about her but, I know secrets never stay hidden in the Vampire world. I need to be honest with her and tell her the truth before Bathilda comes for her. I turn to my side in the bed and watch her dream. I could stare at her sleep forever, she is so beautiful, and I love that she is mine
Chapter 43I held her throughout the night, as her body shook and she sobbed at not only the horrific sight she witnessed but, the slaughter of her apartment. I rocked her all night long until she fell asleep in my arms. I laid her on my bed, and she snuggled into my scent. I watched her sleep for a few hours swearing an oath to protect her. Suddenly, I started to feel a crawling sensation go through me, my gums started to tingle. With horror, I realized then, that the beast at bay has only been laying dormant purposefully. It was waiting to have her here, so it could strike. I wrenched myself away from her, in detest of myself with a heavy heart, how could I have made her feel so safe when I was just as dangerous?
Chapter 42Things definitely escalated quicker than I expected but, I would not change it for the world. I have not felt this happy in decades. Even now as I lay here, wrapped up in her arms, caressing her naked back. She sighs as she snuggles further into my side. I cannot believe that after all this time, through all the emotional turmoil I have gone through, she is back in my life!” I know this form is not the true Eliza however, I am still as overjoyed. I would not change anything about Camille, she everything that my wife was plus more. I feel like she connects with me on deeper levels than my wife did. I softly caress he
Chapter 41Later that night, I lay in bed and felt relaxed. More relaxed than I had in a very long time. I felt as if my long-dead heart and lost soul were starting to feel at peace. All these years without my soulmate. So many decades of grief and despair since she was taken from me. It was the first night in so long, I nearly came close to sleeping again. Not humanistic sleeping but a sense of rest that some Vampires are able to obtain. Once this happens, they look asleep but, their mind is in a coma-like state of contentment until they are awakened by their love. I have heard it happening once some Vampires meet their destined soulmate. I have longed for such an experience. I need to keep a sharp eye now, that I have Camille. I am aware tha
