Camille's P.O.V
The 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 thrThese 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
Chapter 38I arose early this morning in Portland, I could honestly get really accustomed to this area. One drawback to living in Chicago is the sunny days. As a Vampire, I do not die from sun exposure. However, it does make me weaker, like a human whose energy has been drained. I am entirely vulnerable but I am not at a hundred percent strength. Portland’s cloud cover is incredible, Washington state would be even more ideal however, I do not want to venture there. I could not tolerate the constant rain. It is also the land of the Dark Fae. These creatures are said to be spirits who are pure evil and dwell on negative emotions and sadness. They live in the mountain areas of Seattle, such emoti
It has been two weeks since I arrived in Portland, and that sassy little lady has been M.I.A. Every time I swing by her work she is not there, she is either not working during that scheduled time or she is avoiding me. I doubt the second option, she made it clear that she wants me in bed with her, I don’t think that is the case. So it must be other reasons, I hope that she is not ill? Humans are so fragile, so frail. That is what makes life with them so precious, something to be treasured. She would look incredible as a Vampire, I could keep her with me for eternity. Would she though? Would she want eternity as a Vampire? Would she hate me for stealing her soul from her?
Chapter 40I stand here in the center of the main office frozen, so many questions are racing through my mind. He is looking at me completely frozen as well. I do not know how long we stood there until the shock wore off and one of us thawed the ice. In a matter of seconds, he rushed me and give me a huge embrace. I have not seen my brother in decades, ever since he relocated to America after our father passed away. After several minutes of embracing each other, as long-lost brothers do, we both asked the same question. “My God, how is the possible? we said at the same time, which made us laugh. We used to be so close like this, it feels like nothing has changed, yet I know everything has. Everyone has pass
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
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
