I was confused to say the least, and wary of him. I didn't know if this was some sort of act to gain my trust, or if it was real. Whatever it was though, I didn't care. As soon as Damon and Derek got me away from Lucas I was out of here. I'd run into the woods once more and this time I wouldn't get caught.We suddenly stopped running and I was laid down on the ground. I looked up to see Derek and Damon breathing heavily and looking at the forest around them. After a few moments of listening they seemed to decide that no one was following us, and sat down on the ground in unison. For the next couple of minutes everything was quiet as they caught their breath. I looked down at the ground while they relaxed and listened intently to the forest around me. I knew how smart Lucas was and I didn't think we'd lost them.Derek suddenly got up causing my head to snap up and watch his movements. He ignored me while he walked away and spoke to Damon. "I'm going to find water and food." He was ab
I slowly turned my head around to confirm my suspicions. Lingering over me maliciously was my old master, Lucas. I jumped away from him in terror and took several steps back to where Damon and Derek stood petrified. I slowly started to shake my head, denying the terrors that lay in front of me.Lucas stood burning in the setting sun. His suit was torn and hanging at odd angles, and his normally perfect hair sat greasy and unkempt on his head. Burns was starting to emerge all over his body from the sun, but he didn't seem fazed in the least. Jace seemed to want to help him but Lucas dismissed him. Jace was watching us b but I could see in his eyes the disappointment.Lucas looked towards me with malice and hunger in his eyes."What? Didn't my dear Carrie miss her Master? I know I missed my slave." His eyes darkened at the last word and he briskly started to walk towards me. I walked backward away from him until I bumped into Derek and Damon, who still stood petrified. When I nocked in
My world was filled with the sound of my tears as I drowned out the horrific chaos around me. I was entirely in my own world, so I screamed when I felt a rough hand on my shoulder. I whirled my head around to see that Lucas was standing behind me with a slightly less crazed look in his eyes. That didn't help the rest of his appearance though. His black suit was even more torn up and had blood stains covering it from head to toe. His mouth was a sickly red color with Derek's blood dripping from the corners. He was breathing heavily but he tried to hide it from me. As I looked at him I couldn't help the tears flow from my face. I was back with him. I was his slave again. I had to go back to the barn, back to the loneliness, back to the torture. My despair was unbearable as I thought of what I had to go back to. Lucas must have been reading my thoughts, for he smiled wickedly while he spoke. "That's right, my slave. You're mine once again, and this time, you will never get away."I g
Before I knew it we were at the edge of the forest and stepping out onto moist green grass. The sun had fully set and the moon cast eerie shadows across the meadow in front of us. To my right, I could see the worn down barn that was the slave's quarters, and in the distance, I could see the grande mansion that was Lucas’ house. I expected Lucas to turn towards the barn and ask Jace to deposit me there before he walked calmly to his home in the distance. Questions and fears raced through my mind, but Jace gave me a slight nod before looking back at Lucas. By the time we reached the front door of the house, I was practically hyperventilating. “Listen, Carrie. I located Levi and talked to him. But he refused to talk to me. He wanted to see you,” he whispered. Hearing this, I felt like all the pain I felt vanished and I looked straight at Jace. “When? How?” “Levi’s in the maniac’s hidden house. He comes there once a month to feed with him. Not just him but a few old-world vampires.
I shook my head, as all my other injuries had been taken care of thanks to Damon. Em smiled once more and Bridgit came back into the room, holding a bag of ice with towels. She came towards me and knelt before my broken leg, while Em moved to the side. For the first time since I've been here, Bridigt spoke to me. "This is going to hurt, the weight from the bag. But you need to hold it on your leg to keep the swelling down." She was curt and rough with her words.As soon as she told me this, she pressed the ice lightly to my leg. I hissed in pain at the pressure put on my broken bones, but Bridgit held the ice pack in place. While she was doing this, Em circled around her and grabbed some bandages. She proceeded to wrap them around my leg, holding the ice pack in place. The more they touched my leg, the more it hurt, and the more tears started forming in my eyes. I blinked ferociously to keep them at bay, but couldn't help a few fall. Once the ice was secured around my leg, I let out
Once the three of us reached the top of the marble staircase, we were out of breath and bent over from exhaustion. Through panted breaths, Em told me the way to Lucas’ bedroom. "Just walk straight down this hall." She paused and took another breath. "We have to leave you here, we're not allowed to go further."Em smiled at me reassuringly then took Bridgit's arm and started to descend the stairs. I watched them for a few moments before I looked down the hallway that led to Lucas’ door. It wasn't that long of a hallway, but it felt never ending. White walls towered next to me with nothing adorning them, and the only door in the hallway was at the end. The shining wood beneath my feet was a faded white, but almost blinded me when I looked down at it. This house really was a marvelous place, but everywhere I looked I only felt fear. I approached the grande oak door at the end of the hall and held my breath for a minute. It was a death wish walking into his room. He was completely in
Lucas' POVI heard Carrie leave the room quickly once I gave the order.Why did I tell her to leave?I don't know.I regretted it the moment the words left my mouth, though. I sighed slowly as I lifted myself off of my desk. I was utterly exhausted, and hadn't slept in days. Sure, I didn't need as much sleep as a human, but my body and mind still needed to recharge during the day. That, and I needed blood to make me stronger.I flinched as the phantom taste of Carrie's blood in my mouth came. I balled my hands in fists to try and rid the taste, but it would not leave me. I wanted more than everything to indulge myself and become drunk with her blood, but I knew I needed self control. Through my drooping eyes, I gazed into the night outside my window. The full moon cast a wonderfully eerie glow across the field leading to the barn, and long shadows from creatures lingered in the grass. My thoughts lingered to the topic of regret as I remembered my past. From the day I was changed, t
As I painstakingly started stepping down the stairs, I heard crashes of furniture coming from Lucas’ room. It scared me knowing he was angry and I was so close to him, so despite my pain, I practically ran down the stairs. Once I reached the bottom, I limped to the chair I sat on earlier, and sat down with a sigh. I looked down to my leg to see that water was leaking through the fabric wrapped around it, and felt the ice pack near my broken bone. It felt soft and warm, and I figured the ice had melted by now. I groaned at the thought of changing my bandages, but knew it was inevitable. I stood up on my crutches and walked out of the room towards the arch I saw Bridgit and Em walk through. As I was hobbling along, I heard noises coming from the room I was headed towards. As I stepped through the archway and into the room, I saw em walking around the kitchen, doing dishes and wiping counters. I looked at the kitchen and breathed in at it's beauty. Everything was a blinding white with
Madoka had frozen in shock when I had informed him of the news that we were getting an addition to our little family. Once he recovered, he picked me up and spun me around in excitement.He managed to impregnate me without my heat, so I guess all those cringey informational videos and parental lectures they'd subjected us to in our teenage years had been valid.Telling Madoka I was pregnant again had been easy, because I had always been able to tell him everything since the moment we discovered we were mates.Spencer, on the other hand, I was worried about. He was five years old now, and he had been the sole centre of my adoration for as long as he'd existed. Meeting Nathan was the best thing I did and now I learned that I am pregnant after so long. But I was still nervous. Madoka probably wasn't expecting it either. His attitude was comforting, although it was a bit annoying how he always took everything in stride while I was busy being stressed out. It always took a lot to get him
Carrie's point of viewI woke to the light of dawn hitting my eyes, and I instantly recognized that I was lying on some velvet bedsheet and remembered what had happened.Madoka was still sleeping beside me, his breathing deep and even, and normally I would not have bothered him. Last night was so intense. And we did it all through the night. That was a new experience with Madoka, I was eager for more. What he had done to my body was amazing and helped satisfy that ache for a long time and what he had done was...interesting"Madoka?"I watched him as he moved slightly but not opening his eyes. I liked his dumbstruck reaction and his satisfaction more than anything else, and I especially liked the way he seemed so unusually relaxed afterwards. He always seemed so tense, but for once, it seemed like he had not a care in the world, and it had been me who had done that to him. I understand it. We were separated many times.I slept in his arms in just a t-shirt and panties. I was about to
I turned the corner to find the open foyer with the beige spiral stairs. Golden lights mounted on the walls protected by zigzag semitransparent glass. It gave the walls an elegant glow with jagged slices of lights against the exposed brick wall.Annoyed, I stepped inside to leave through the front gate when suddenly, high heels clicked against the grey stone tiles stealing my attention, halting me in place. I waited for the woman to pass.Tall slender legs appeared from behind the wall. The lighting made her legs look like molten caramel. The navy silk dress slid behind as she stepped forward revealing her silky thighs. Her long hair waved around her perfectly semi moon ass. My gazed caressed up her hips to her luscious chest that were barely hidden by the scrap of clothing hanging of her creamy shoulders.My lower region tightened. It's been a while since someone evoked an arousal like that from me. Actually, no one had ever been able to evoke the fire I left inside. My eyes finally
Madoka’s Point of ViewCarrie has returned. I was so excited to finally come back home despite her strong warning not to come for her. My wolf has been angry. He kept on pushing me to come and save her. The long agonising days finally ended and she came home victorious. Not only did she kill Lucas, she also set herself free from the potion. Now, she’s back as the real Carrie who loved her pack and her family. She was fine and doing her Luna duties. Other than not wanting to eat any food that our omega has cooked for, everything seemed fine. “Babe, can you please look out for Spencer? I’m tired. I want to sleep,” she said and stood up from her desk. “Sure, babe,” I answered her back but I knew something was off. She hasn't eaten even a bit and when asking Marcus and Brigit about what happened to her, they would always answer that there’s nothing wrong with her. But I knew something was wrong. That night, I was about to enter our room when I heard a crashing sound inside. I immedi
I walked in through the doorway, sighing loudly. It had been a long and trying day. I didn’t look around me too closely as I laid the keys on the counter and collapsed on the couch.My legs hung off the edge with my feet dangling above the ground. I swayed slightly while closing my eyes, trying to find some peace on this day. It has been scheduled that tonight, we will go back to my pack. “Carrie.” I jumped slightly at the noise suddenly coming from behind me. Without opening my eyes, I knew who it was. I sighed internally at the thing drawing me away from my relaxation.“Carrie.” The voice spoke again, now in a normal tone.I groaned and split my eyes open, letting cracks of light appear in my vision. “What do you want?”The light in my vision dimmed as the figure of Brigit appeared. Her hair fell over her face and into mine, tickling my forehead. I groaned again, louder now, knowing what she wanted me to do.“Come on. It’s been too long and you know you’re tired.” Brigit disappeare
I slowly descended upon his convulsing body, prey now becoming predator. I put my other hand around his neck wringing it in the process, preparing to end this once and for all. I stared down at the monster's frame, no remorse hitting my body. All there was, was a bloodthirsty motive to kill him. As I leaned over his head, a hand on my shoulder tried to whip me around. I turned to face Brigit, a bloodied, broken, and bruised Brigit. I relaxed when I realised it was her, before questioning her move. "Let go of me, I'm going to finish this." I turned back around with her hand still gripping my shoulder. My hands shook and my vision was dark, but I was going to kill this monster once and for all. "Let’s do this together" Brigit started. I looked at her incredulously before he continued on. "We will end this monster once and for all." Her eyes searched mine and I saw the worried expression she held. I was surprised at her words and struggled to form my own. "But-I-Brigit you can hardl
"I'm ok." My whisper seemed to echo through the Hall. I listened to it as it escaped my lips, knowing I was far from alright. Memories from my life kept fading in and out of my mind. They were almost as painful as the poison running its course through my veins. "We can't stay here anymore." Brigit sounded next to me." They heard your screams and know we're here. We have to hide somewhere else."As she was speaking she lifted herself from the floor we had been crouched in. She attempted to help me up as well, but failed in the effort. Her arm was still badly wounded and she could barely stand herself. As she looked to see if the coast was clear, I lifted myself off the ground as well. Every inch of my being burned, but I knew our only chance was to get out of here. Just as we were emerging from the foliage, a sweet voice met my ears. "Girls, where do you think you're going?" I stared in horror at what once was my friend. Her calm and cool collection from earlier was gone, replaced
If I was lucky, the shadow of the gigantic sofa would swallow me and leave no trace of where I was.I waited, breathless, for what seemed like hours. In reality, barely seconds had passed. I heard footsteps drawing near to me, heavy on the tiles beneath them. They came quickly towards where I lay, but stopped feet away. I could hear whoever it was panting hard, clearly out of breath.“Carrie?” A quiet whisper rang out in the night.I recognized the voice immediately, and sprang from my spot on the floor.“Brigit, I’m here.” I whispered back to her.I saw her face turn towards me, and her body relaxed. She ran towards where I was, half standing on the ground.“Thank god you’re safe. I thought I was too late.” She helped me up and brought me into her arms in a rushed hug. “Now come on, we’ve gotta get out of here. We don’t have a lot of time. Lucas’s minions are still lurking in this house. We need to hide and go far from them.”Brigit grabbed my arm and began to lead me back to the mai
Thoughts swarmed my mind. Why would they hesitate? I don’t understand. Leonardo lingered over me, breathing heavily with rage. "By the time you die, you'll be nothing but bones. Once this poison is in your system, I'm afraid there's no going back. You are so dumb Carrie. You’re trying to kill every one of my kind and yours." His voice was low, almost a whisper. It seemed the time for yelling was gone. Now there was a rage so malicious and a hint of fear. I wished he would scream.I smirked. “Well, that would be fun. Even if I die, I’m dragging you two with me.” My voice came out in calm breaths. The burning inside of me was still growing. “It’s such sight seeing fear in your eyes, Lucas. What happened to the proud and ambitious vampire?”Lucas looked at me with disgust."Oh, my dear Carrie. Haven't you figured it out yet?" I met his question with a glare, at which he responded, laughing. "This 'poison' you and Brigit keep talking about isn't a poison. It's a weapon. But not just
