The Reaver Chronicles: Rowen (Book 4) Chapter 10
Chapter 10After dinner we headed up to bed. I walked with my pet to her room. She turned to me before she went inside. “Thank you.” She said. I nodded at her. “I can trust that you will not try and run, correct?” I asked. “No I won’t.” She said. “Good, because you do not want to test me. I can be anywhere you are within an instant. It would be pointless to try and flee.” I said. She nodded at me, then she turned around to walk inside but stopped again. She seemed like she wanted to turn around but didn’t at the same time. Then she finally did. I raised an eyebrow at her waiting for her reply. “Rowen. Do you plan to feed from me?” She asked timidly. I could smell her fear. “I do…” I said, and then paused as her fear increased. I could hear her heartbeat spike. “But I promise I will not hurt you when I do.” I said. This seemed to calm her down some, but the fear was still evident in her eyes. Humans rarely ever made contact with supernaturals. It was ingrained in their every being t

Chapter 11(Ambrosia)After dinner my master walked me up to my room. I turned to him before I went in to tell him thank you. He healed my body, took away my scars, provided for me, fed me, and was gentle in most aspects of everything he did for me. I even had my own room. I had so much to be thankful for and I wanted to make sure he knew that I was. He nodded back in response. “I can trust that you will not try and run, correct?” my master asked me suddenly. I scoffed internally, there was no way I was attempting to run. He would kill me so fast, it would be too easy for him even. “No I won’t.” I said. “Good, because you do not want to test me. I can be anywhere you are within an instant. It would be pointless to try and flee.” He said. He was absolutely right and I knew it. Plus, I didn’t even know how to get back downstairs. I would just get lost in this place anyways. I nodded to him and turned to walk into my room but then I stopped. The question I was the most nervous about,

Chapter 12I finally got enough courage to speak. “W-will it hurt?” I asked, trying to hide the tears welling up in the back of my eyes. “Not like what you’re used to.” He replied. I tried to remember the shit they ingrained into my brain in the pet store. I had to be a good pet, obedient, and listen to my master. And when it was time to feed, I had to hold still and relax. The calmer I was, the less pain I would endure. I knew that to be true because I tested it out while they were continually feeding from me. Thrashing and jerking away caused them to grip harder and sometimes their fangs would rip the skin instead of pierce it. The calmer the better… But you tell that to my ever beating out of my chest, heart. I finally gathered what was left of my composure. “You’ve been kind to me in every other aspect. While this scares the shit out of me, I will cooperate.” I said quietly, trying to hide my flowing tears. I scooted closer to Rowen, knowing it would be better for him if he did

Chapter 13(Rowen)I woke up in the morning and I still had my arms tightly around Ambrosia. I released my grip some, but she was still asleep, so she didn’t notice.I slowly got up and headed into the bathroom, surprising myself when I looked into the mirror to see my eyes were a strange tint of red and rose gold mixed. The red was light, but I could see it.“What the?” I said to Viper. It had to be a Vampire thing. I knew the Vampires eyes turned red when they fed or when they were in certain situations, but mine never had, that I knew of.Come to think about it, I had also never felt the rush and excitement and stalking my prey like I did last night. And I also never felt the urge and pull of my Vampire side this strongly. The only difference is I had Ambrosia now, I had a pet..It was like it was pulling my Vampire side out, where it was mostly dormant before. Maybe I never needed a reason to have it out before, but now, with a pet, I did.That might be why Ambrosia looked so stunn

Chapter 14I listened for her heart rate change, and sure enough the fear was there. It made me giddy. I didn’t need to feed, I wasn’t feeling like I needed to, but I wanted to. It was a different feeling, not the itchy, scratchy teeth and throat… But more of a just… Want to feed. I can’t explain it. If I didn’t feed, nothing would happen. But I could if I wanted to. This new Vampire stuff was strange and would take some getting used to, that was for sure. Once we were done eating we headed out to the foyer. I needed to mind link my brother real quick to let him know we were coming. “Ramses?” I said through the link. “Rowen, what is it? Are you ok?” He asked a little frantically. Katrina must have filled him in on The Others, and since I'm the one with the amulet, then I'm one in the danger. “Oh, yea, everything is fine. I need to come visit you and Katrina. I am in a much better state of mind… And I owe you both an apology. A sincere one.” I said. “Oh? Well her mark isn’t gone yet

Chapter 15Ramses smiled at me. I knew he would forgive me for my mishaps… Katrina, well, she smiled as well, but acted hurt. I knew this was the marks pull affecting her. "Ambrosia." I said, and my pet looked at me. I nodded my head towards the seat next to me on the couch. She was so good at reading signals. She instantly climbed off my lap and took a seat next to me. I stood up and walked over to the couch where Ramses and Katrina were sitting. I held my hand out to Katrina, looking over at Ramses for permission. He nodded to me, and Katrina put her hand in mine. I could hear her heartbeat going insane at my touch. I pulled her up off the couch into my arms. I could hear my pet's heartbeat increase as well. She had no idea what was going on, which was to be expected. I moved a piece of hair from Katrina's face to behind her ear so I could look at my mark. I ran my fingers along it causing Katrina to shudder. "This will be gone, but it will take about a month. I plan to stay a

Chapter 16Hours of research and still nothing. It’s as if they don’t even exist. My mind was frazzled trying to figure out just why they would want to open Pandora's Box anyways. I mean, if the Keepers were banishing supernatural creatures there, then why let them out? Wouldn’t that mean the destruction of The Others as well? I'm sure the beasts contained within Pandora's Box wouldn't be picky on who they killed. What could their endgame be? I stood from my computer, I needed a break. I wandered out to my foyer, noting that Rosa had already fulfilled my request in removing any trace of Ivy. I noted the blank spots on the walls, the missing decor… And the hole in my heart over her traitorous ass. Anytime I thought of her it just brought anger more than pain now. Neither were feelings I wanted to waste my time on, but here we were, again. Grief is strange… How it hits you at the most inopportune times. It was like every time I thought of her, I just thought of all the things she wa

Chapter 17I snapped to materialize a hand mirror, then I walked it over to him. He looked at himself. “Damn, I even look amazing with red eyes. This shit is insane! I’ve never been able to feel much of anything when I drink from someone. I just do it because I know it enhances things for them. But this time… Oh, this time was a whole different ball game. I could feel it too!” He exclaimed.“I know, isn’t it crazy?” I replied. “Wait, what is that sound?” Ramses said. Ambrosia’s heart rate had spiked. She must have been thinking about something that made her nervous… Or maybe just being the plaything for two of us at the same time was nerve wracking enough.“That is my pet’s heartbeat.“ I said. He looked at her in awe. “Her heartbeat? I can hear that?” He exclaimed. “Listen, you can hear her breathing too.” I said.Ramses went silent and closed his eyes. “Holy shit. And I can hear yours too.” He said excitedly. The main Vampire traits that we have access to as Reavers are, we have fangs

The Reaver Chronicles: Rowen (Book 4) Chapter 51
Chapter 51“I-I didn’t know!” I shouted, trying to convince them. “It makes sense now, it’s how you have magic. It’s why no one has come looking for you. They can’t get in here when you have the only key that opens this Box.” Andres said. The playful, boyish tone he once carried was completely gone from his voice. Rather than sounding like a 19 year old boy, he had the husky voice and powerful tone of someone who had lived a millennia. I instantly panicked. I had to try and play this off or I was going to be killed right here, right now. “I don’t have a fucking amulet, you would have seen it on me by now if I had it! I’ve been here for months!” I huffed, trying to defend myself, but not sound too guilty. They didn’t need to know that it was cloaked in magic, that could stay a secret. But I wouldn’t be lying if they searched me because they would never find it. I looked at Dominik, his face was hard and unyielding. It reminded me of when I first came here, the look he gave me when I
The Reaver Chronicles: Rowen (Book 4) Chapter 50
Chapter 50I tuned back to the conversation that Dominik was having with his brother Andres. We were in town getting an array of items on the shopping list for Hilda, and it was taking quite a while. We had to go to like five stores and collect a plethora of items from each one. This list was at least triple the size of that list Dominik and I had gotten last time. That's why all three of us went, it was going to be a while. I don’t even know what they were arguing about, but they started punching each other and I just laughed because I was totally confused. These two did not act like they were both millennia or more old Angels. They acted like kids my age, and I got a crack out of it every time I noticed it. How can someone so old, still seem so young? Well, two people at that? It was insane. Once they were done punching each other they called a truce and we entered the next store. Once we got everything we needed it was finally time to be done. We started heading back to the hous
The Reaver Chronicles: Rowen (Book 4) Chapter 49
Chapter 49“Amuletum dicimus contradixerit tibi adduc velatos te et domum tuam. Tu nos iubes?” The Witches started chanting. I was impatiently waiting, but nothing seemed to be happening. They continued chanting and a green light appeared above them for a split second and then it was gone. But it sent an energy blast that flung books off the shelves in my library. It also knocked the three Witches back, breaking the circle and stopping the chanting. Katrina looked up at me from the floor. “I’m sorry, Rowen. It didn’t work. The amulet isn’t reachable by magic.” She said. I sighed out loud. “What do we do now?” I asked, eager to get any reply that would bring Ambrosia home. “I-I don’t know… Wait!” Katrina cried. My eyes shot up to Katrina, waiting for her to talk. “Give me something sharp, I need to cut myself.” She said, holding her hand out. I raised an eyebrow at her, but did as she asked and snapped to produce a very sharp but dainty knife, and handed it to her. “Shadows, I summo
The Reaver Chronicles: Rowen (Book 4) Chapter 48
Chapter 48(Rowen)The Vampires were of help, they did let us know the location they planned to take Ambrosia, which was different from the warehouse location we had already gotten out of them. We sent our armies to infiltrate both locations and came up empty handed. Ambrosia was not located at either of the locations, but we did manage to take out some more of The Others. Luckily, we were able to get some of the other plans they had stored away as well. Apparently, their operation was a lot bigger and deeper seeded than we expected. They had a lot more plans than just opening Pandora’s Box. These guys were like one of those damn cults on crack. They have locations scattered throughout Rome, and even in the states. It’s insane how deep their seeds go. It had been 12 days, and we hadn’t gotten an inkling as to where Ambrosia could be. I knew she was alive, I could feel her presence anytime I tried to materialize to her, but she was just out of reach. It was the strangest thing. “Br
The Reaver Chronicles: Rowen (Book 4) Chapter 47
Chapter 47 I had no idea when I dozed off, but thankfully I didn’t dream at all. I have no idea how long I slept, but when I woke up I was curled up next to Dominik. He had his arms around me and his head was resting on top of my head. We were in the same position we ended the night in with our feet on the footrest. It took me a moment to register where I was and what I was doing before I suddenly realized and moved out of his grasp. I didn’t say anything to him, but he started laughing when he woke up and realized what was going on. “You don’t have to run away, I don’t bite.” He cackled. I just laughed. Ok, so he wasn’t mad. How did we fall asleep like that anyways? At least I got some sleep… That was all I could think of. I could smell breakfast cooking and realized that we were the last ones to be awake. My cheeks turned red when I realized that everyone in the house had to have seen us this morning because they had to pass through the living room to get to the kitchen. No
The Reaver Chronicles: Rowen (Book 4) Chapter 46
Chapter 46“Come sit down, child.” The older woman said, motioning at an empty spot on the couch next to the dark haired man. I reluctantly walked over and I could feel his eyes, well, both of theirs, trained straight onto me. I just tried to ignore it. I had no idea what type of creatures they were, but honestly, I was afraid. The second I took my seat an intense feeling of doom settled into my chest and stomach. I was used to feeling fear around supernatural creatures. I was Human, it was normal for me. But this was so much worse, so much more intense. I knew he could tell I was afraid by the way I was acting. I was trying to keep my cool but It was exceedingly difficult. Neither of the angelic men said a word to me at first. They kept their eyes trained on me though, as if I was going to do something crazy. “You’re a pet?” The dark haired one finally said, breaking the awkward silence. My hand went straight to my collar that I just now noticed was still on. They never removed i
The Reaver Chronicles: Rowen (Book 4) Chapter 45
Chapter 45Ramses came back soon after letting me know he checked on Katrina and Jade. They were both asleep and he didn’t bother waking them. He would bring them over in the morning. He then proceeded to pace next to me. “Talk to me brother, think out loud. Let’s work on this together.” He said. Ramses was always my closest brother. We just got along so well, and he understood me on a lot of levels, it felt like. Not that my other brothers didn’t, but I was just never as close with them as I was Ramses. I could relate to all of them though. I had my fair share of cool and calculated moments like Raphael, or my unyielding fiery moments like Raziel. I could be a jokester and life of the party like Ramses, or I could be quiet and reserved, hidden in the background, more like myself. The way that I was, was really dependent on the moment. Right now, I was fiery and unyielding on the inside, yet quiet and reserved on the outside. A fitting set of emotions for what I’m going through. Ma
The Reaver Chronicles: Rowen (Book 4) Chapter 44
Chapter 44(Ambrosia)I became aware of my surroundings slowly. But when the memories of last night started to come back through my mind, I tried to act like I wasn’t awake yet. I wanted to feel out where I had been taken, before I just announced to the world that I was awake. I kept my eyes shut and just listened, trying to keep my breath as calm and slow as it had been. I wasn’t sure if there were Vampires here, and they would hear my heart beating faster if I started to panic. It felt like I was lying in a bed of some sort. I could feel covers over my torso and I was at a comfortable temperature. So that was a good thing, right? I noted the smell of something cooking. I had no idea what it was. Something I had never smelt before, but it smelled like It would be good if I were to eat it. My stomach grumbled just then and gave away my position. I tried not to panic but I couldn’t help it. My heart rate spiked and a soft voice infiltrated my ears. “Ah, good, you’re awake. I was wo
The Reaver Chronicles: Rowen (Book 4) Chapter 43
Chapter 43I threw green fireballs and the first three that were heading my way, knocking them back into the wall behind them. This caused pictures to come crashing down from the wall above them. Glass shattered as they fell and skid across the floor in all directions. I then took one in a green fireball and snapped his neck, tossing his body aside. He wouldn’t actually die unless I decapitated him. He would wake up, but it wouldn’t be for a few hours. The other two were unconscious on the floor so I left them there and proceeded to use magic to pick up my dining table and slam it into the next two Vampire Hybrids that walked through my kitchen door. The act shattered my table, sending wood splinters flying through the air and into the walls. Then I heard chanting in Latin. I turned to see two Vampires raising the dead. “Fucking Necromancer Hybrids?” I snarled to Viper. “What in the fuck are The Others doing?” Viper hissed. “That is a good fucking question.” I huffed as I snapped t
