Vampires exist. But they aren't the etheral, seducing types that we are taught about. They slither and scheme, kill and reduce to ash all that is around them and even worse, One has claimed my heart as theirs. Only, he doesn't know I'm not the woman he thinks I am. I'm not his lover, nor do I want to be. Kidnaped and forced into proximity with the King of the Dead I learn one thing, nothing is as it seems at first sight. Hades is a man with power, but Thomas saved me from death. One is human and the other is close to a God. A greater threat looms in the distance, the humans I wish to stand with are under attack. The Vampire's war is not mine to fight, but can I truly stay on the side lines and watch everyone I have come to care about perish? And can I truly find love in the arms of a cold detached man, when warmth and happiness lays in wait for me with Thomas?

Luke sits in a corner staring out the windows, a frown etched into his face. He doesn't move to acknowledge my presence when I enter, so I take the liberty of going to see him instead."You look perplexed""That's a small word in comparison to how I feel about what you have divulged""Is it really such a nuisance to you?"His head swivels to the side, to regard me thoroughly."Forgive me if I'm not enamored with what you've said, but have you taken into account the prospects of what this could mean for us?""There's nothing we can do about that"
Victor ValkarieSilence lingered around the room trapped with no thought of escape, while yellow flames danced beneath the hearth. It had been such a long time since I've ever been in such high spirits. Too long. A smile sits on my lips as I watch the fire burn through a few other dozen logs.Fragile.Insignificant.Expendable.Everyone around me was just like those logs.Completely pliant.Micah had gone off on his own, unable to tolerat
I'm going to kill himI'm going to kill him if it's the last thing I do.That is my last thought running out of that room.My eyes caught Luke's heading out, discerning the genuine curiosity of seeing me without my prison. I was their captive, even though Aiden was turning into an enigma, I had to remind myself that.Had to remind me of who, no what they were.Vampires.Creatures without soul or feeling.My enemies.Belle's murdersThe reason why Thomas was dead.I kept running, reminding myself of all the reasons why this house wasn't safe. I made it back to my old room, pushing the door open, hearing the hushed voices of my old roommates."Have you seen Harry lately?""Yes and he's been acting bizarre ever since returning from Egypt ""Yeah, that's what I thought too. I mean it's not necessarily odd that Hayden has him busy, but he always manages to slick away somehow. Now he's such no where to be seen- at all"The door closed with a click and both girls turned to regard me."Victor
Yuuki huffed before moving towards the open door, her eyes still glaring daggers at me as she slid in and I followed suit shortly after. The car's interior was now saturated with the smell of her blood as we sped down the road and I could only imagine the immense amount of restraint Michael had to muster keeping himself in check.I faxed at the witnessing slightly perturbed by her stubbornness and downright stupidity that resulted in he current situation. Yuuki clutched her arm tightly, wincing slightly from pain and I of her inwardly. Why do I even bother?"I told you to stay put""And you didn't have to hurt those innocent children, so there" she retorted."Innocent? Did you not hear a word I said?"" They're children Aiden, they do what they are taught and see. You can't blame them for that""Would you had rather have me save them?""Preferably""Then what? And to what end? You're very naive you know that, Yuuki? You refuse to accept things you see before your very eyes. It doesn't
"What have you done with Belle? "The question falls from my mouth before I have the time to either censor or vet it. If Aiden is disturbed my by words, he doesn't show it or maybe I'm still too hyperaware of our proximity to notice.I swallow thickly, waiting breathless for his next move. My hand trembled ever so slightly against his chest, a reaction I'm sure he associated with weakness or fear. I do fear him, but right now not finding answers scared me more. My eyes move from his, back to the book at hand. Would it really tell me about myself and my family? Why everything is like this? How did Aiden even know what I was searching for? "Do you really want to know?" My eyes move back to Aiden hearing his question. "Yes"His brows raised in curiosity. "You might not like the answer" "I'm willing to take the risk" I answer adamantly. He should know by now I never give up on things this easily, or maybe he wouldn't since I've tended to avoid him at all costs.Aiden leans in a li
My gait is unsteady as I made my way across the hallway towards the door I know like the back of my hand. I'm not sure which is worst, the residual pain or blood loss, or maybe it's the fact that my skin still tingles from every touch of Aiden's hand. I'm on my own from here on out. There are many unanswered questions, so many mysteries that's locked away in this house and I've determined to unearth them all. I'll find out what happened to my sister and what's with Aiden's obsession with me.I hesitate, thinking of knocking but then twist the knob, pushing back the door. I remember in full detail what I've done and I don't blame them for not wanting me around anymore, but they are all I have. They're the only ones that will tell me what happened to Belle.Maria turns seeing me, an astonished look on her face, but she doesn't speak, doesn't move an inch from where she stands. Things have truly changed with us. No doubt Jane must have told her how I tried to harm her.I don't belong her
When I wake up again it's morning. It's bright and misty and slightly cold. My eyes move to the window where the vampire- Micah stood last night. How was it possible that I had family members still alive? How was he even related to me? How could I be a vampire? I shake my head at the thought. Nothing he said was true. All they did was play mind games. I've never drunk blood before, never felt the need to. I don't hear heart's beat, I can't move super fast either and definitely I shiver in the cold. I'm not a vampire and I don't have a family, not anymore.Throwing the covers back, I jump from the bed walking on the barren floor. This room was completely naked, as if forgotten by time-or Aiden. Whichever came first. Surely she's going to kill me for trashing my room, but I've never felt better. Tearing things apart made me feel so alive, the adrenaline of it all so exhilarating. Like the time I walked in the snow. My headached for awhile as it came back to memory. I wasn't myself then,
My eyes opened slowly, my throat feeling dry as sand paper. I couldn't move immediately feeling as if I had just awaken from the dead. Night had fallen, the curtains at the window laid open as they grey light of the moon trickled in. My eyes moved around the barren room realising they had moved me, a lone bookshelf standing in the corner devoid of books. Besides me, the room was empty.The floor was chilling as my bare feet made contact, tears streaming down my face. I didn't die. I didn't die. I couldn't fathom how Jane managed to save me, why they had to save me. I pulled my feet back into the bed, resting my head against my knees. I felt empty, I missed Thomas so much and I hated Aiden. I hated him for taking me back."Good evening"My head lifted finding a silver haired man outside my window and I shuffled backwards."It's okay I'm not here to hurt you""Really? What do you want?""I only wish to talk with y
Rain falls in heavy footsteps outside the windows, while thunder clashes across the ashen sky. The moon is obscured by angry clouds yet, despite the gloom the night couldn't have looked more beautiful. The candle light flickers for a moment as a harsh wind wanders through the open window before it trashed against its lock. The lights go out, yet I've felt no need to move.Someone moved in the shadows, footsteps soft yet patient until it comes to a pause at the entrance of the room. A wave of my hand floods the room with light once again, candles burning bright pushing away at the darkness. The boy stands, well not a bog any more. It's been almost a milliena since he had existed in this world.I tend to forget, or rather things seemed all the same after awhile. A creature that lives beyond the confines of time."You called""Yes" My eyes moved back to the windows watching with enthusiasm as the rain beat against the saturated soil, my hand reac
Everything was obsidian black. The same it had been for as long as I could remember. There were no windows, no clocks, nothing that hinted at the time of day. Time had no portion here. It was just black and cold. Always cold. I couldn’t tell if I was fat or skinny. Not that your size mattered, when you couldn’t even make out the outline of yourself, or view the fingers you held up. But I did tell myself that I was beautiful, to put some ease to my mumbling mind. Why was I here, in this condemned place? I hadn’t a clue. I didn’t know if my parents were trying to get rid of me, hoping I’d just finally die at some point. I barely remember their faces anymore. There were no visitors. Nothing, well, except for the scurry of a rat every now and again. It didn’t have to be a rat. Could have been something much worse, but I was still alive, so I guess not. Today was quiet, I noticed. There were no receding footsteps of anyone to or fro from here. I pushed my weakened body against the freez...
