Hello darlings, thanks so much for reading my scribbles. Hope you enjoy đź’–
She stared at me, the creepy smile still plastered across her face. I couldn't reveal my real motive for being here. Hell no, and worse, I doubted she liked me either. But my greatest concern was how she knew I wasn't just like any other human walking around in this place. I hadn't acted out of the ordinary. Okay, maybe my snicker back there was my worst move yet, but that was an expected reaction. None of us wanted to be here. It was probably this or an execution. Well I was the only one with gall enough to do more than fake adoration. I could have held up my side of the praises, but their talk about Romania stirred apart of me that laid dormat. Their beautiful country flourishes while ours has gone to the dogs. Our people left to either flee in fear or bow. Tuskee people were proud, we worked damn hard for everything we owned. Even the asshole Aristocrats we had would have been better than this shit show. But no, we had fudging Vampires that wanted everything. Our souls, loyalties
**** WARNING. MAY CONTAIN TRIGGERS. The only thing that told me that morning had come again was the warmth of the sun on my skin. The floor might've been covered with some expensive plush rug but it was still chilling cold. The room itself was cold. My head was bowed in obsience having finally admitting to myself that I was resigned to hell for the rest of my life and that made me laugh. My laughter ricocheted around the room, sounding like stomping footsteps. So damn sad and lonely it was torture. To people outside, it was seem as if I'd slowly descended into madness. I was convinced I was mad. Hearing my laughter only made me laugh even more, louder, faster, more hysterical. Perhaps I was slowly mad, but could you blame me? I was stuck in a place I resented more than life itself, robbed of my ability of sight, like I wasn't deserving of knowing what the world looked like. I was some form of monster in human form, that every time I tried to escape, to finally be freed, I was sent b
The woman gapes at me wide eyed her mouth half open, half in amazement, yet her acting held sympathy. She didn't understand, how could she? I was the one that was trapped here, I was trapped in the chaos of my mind, trapped in a reality that I could never escaped from. In actuality, this could never be reality, this was a nightmare that I won't wake from, no matter how hard I tried. If this was reality, then where was hope? She moved slowly, tediously being careful with the cotton as she attempted to clean the bruises against my cheeks, before moving to the larger abrasions and cuts along my arm and leg. I hissed, as the alcohol soaked into one of the wounds, as her hand moved in circular motions from the cuts outward. Next she moved to the ones on my neck. I had half the mind the hit her across the head and hop off the bed when she pushed against one of my cuts. I whined, pushing her away from me but she quickly tightened her grip. Dammit! The nurse stood back surveying whether or
I found myself walking back through the garden, the same rose garden that Belle often sat reading a book. The same garden she'd often disappeared to when she spent her first few days here. It was exhausting having to find her everyday, the first few robbing me of so much energy, I'd sworn it wasn't worth it after thinking she might've run away. The thought of her escaping constantly plagued my mind and that made me ever hesitant to leave. I'd feared returning and finding her gone. I wasn't fearful because I was attached, no that formed much later, too late actually. I'd thought of Belle as a capture, a prisoner to be held here. A sacrifice of her people for the greater good. For them at least. I knew she didn't want to live here, she wanted to be with her family; her own kind and I knew despite my attempts, her contempt for me would only grow. It did nothing then in the past few days or weeks to follow, to change my mind. I spent no time with her, residing myself to my study or room,
For a moment by own voice surprises me but I had every reason to be flustered and well past suspicious. Something was wrong with this senario, something was wrong with the woman upstairs. Not mentally, she was fine-almost mentally but everything else about her wasn't. Everything screamed belle and that was impossible. That is all, you may leave now Her words kept replaying in my head as I stood before my brother and Luke. They didn't understand, they didn't see things the way I did. There was no way that woman could be belle, was it? Hayden pulled his feet from the top of the desk but proceeded to keep leaning back comfortably in his chair. These were one of the qualities I hated but yet envied that I didn't have. His undying love for not seeing everything as threatening. His lais back behaviour would one day be the death of him. "She's your mate," He deadpanned, gazing straight into my eyes before bursting into laughter. "You should see your face at my admission." "Cease the ri
Poke! Poke! Poke! Poke! I groanedPoke again. This insufferable woman just won't take a hint. Dammit! "When are you going to stop touching me and go away?" I mumbled frustrated with the vampire that didn't seem to get the gist that I had no interest in paying her even a dime of attention. She feigned hurt at my words, forcing me to roll my eyes. Ever since our last conversation she had me following pee pee, cluck cluck behind her every move like some body guard, or doing the most ridiculous things like only moments ago. I counted a total of twenty stores, minus the shoes ones we entered, all of which she had to get something from. All of which were antique that seemed to be ripped for an century old news paper drawing. She didn't need me for this and the witch knew it. But she was a creature of the night and misery, especially mine seem to fuel her energy. I couldn't wait to be rid of the lot of them once and for all. "I'm starting to think you don't like me Thomas, aren't
"Don't you ever tire of sitting in here on your own?" I asked the human, that sat in the shadows of the garden immersed in her book. She was the only non-vampire here, the sacrifice that the humans had offered up to be my mate. The first few weeks, she had locked herself inside her room refusing to speak with anyone. Hayden had often complained of hearing her crying, finding the erratic beating of her heart a nuisance, especially since no one bothered to pay her any special attention. But for the last few days, this was where she decided to reside herself. Inside a small garden just beneath her window, her hair dancing slowly in the sun. Belle closed her book slowly, glancing at me a smile on her face and like our encounters before today, I felt something stir again. Why? I haven't figure it out and what? Well I was still learning. "Well now that you're here, I'm not exactly alone am I? "I glanced back at the house, asking myself why I had chosen to take a break now? I already kn
I grabbed the bag a little tighter, attempting not to change my mind. Emotions weren't supposed to be forced. I was supposed to like her. I did find a few qualities of hers to be attractive. Belle was a beautiful woman. If she hadn't been given to me, I was sure she might have been engaged to a proper suitor by now. Weeks had passed after our argument in my study, we've oft met on the staircase going our separate ways, the look of boredom becoming more prominent in her eyes everyday. Apart from the constant teasing from my brother, no one else spoke with her. Not even me. I didn't think I'd end up avoiding her, in my eyes she was nothing more than a human, the small possession of exchange between our races to keep my agreement in check. I hadn't thought about her feelings or what she would have wanted. I didn't expect that she would have liked us in any way. In the last few days, she hasn't left her room, nor ventured near the garden. The idea slightly disturbed me. Knowing she was u
The door slipped shut from my hands as I pulled the last glove from my fingers, Michael pausing his steps staring at the crowd of humans that laid in the center of the room. I had only just returned from handling a few business problems and already someone thought of getting on my nerves."Do you want me to send them away my Lord?" Michael asked coming to a stop behind me."No. I'll deal with this on my own ""As you wish. Please excuse me" He replied bowing before disappearing.My shoes clinked against the tiles as I walked on, my steps only measuring more than half way across the expansive hall before the crowd recognizes my presence and they scatter like ants. Two girls are left and Harry, my brother's annoyance all with their heads lowered unwilling to look at me."Why was a crowd here?"Silence."Do not test my patience" I added calmly. "Why was a crowd here?""A human was hurt" Ha
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,
******WARNING******This scene contains triggers. The author does not believe nor endorse the use of weapons or suicide. “This isn’t the time to be an idiot Yuuki, I promised I’d keep you alive. You’re important to me”“But what if something happens to you” I mumbled my lips trembling at the thought of him being out there all alone. “Don’t worry bone head. I’ll be safe. Don’t worry” I twisted, tossing back and forth the feeling of watching a memory and being in reality rocking me like a bob on a pendelum. My heart aches, though I don't know why. We were happy, so why do I feel so freaking empty? Energy moved through me like a pulse and like many times before what I'm seeing is now eaten up in swirling winds, before leaving me again. "Oh my god Yuuki! Will you just shut up!" Thomas glared at me, daring me to say another word. "I didn't think I'd be annoyed having you again"Offense taken! "Um, I'm offended thank you very much. And if I wanted to be told to shut up, I could've sta
My eyes skimmed my watch for the third time since we've sat waiting on Amy. May catches my glance, smiling wearily moving to pour her second fill. "Should I pour you a cup likewise?" " No" "When last have you fed, Aiden?" " I'm not hungry. How long will she be?" I questioned impatiently. "I'm not sure" May says staring through the door. "She's not normally late for anything. I'm sure she'll only be a few more minutes" "So you say" "I thought Hayden was going to oversee this meeting" "I'm also involved in the running of my Kingdom, May" "There's no need to be snippy about it. We're all on edge about what's going on."The corners of my mouth lift a little glancing at the vampire before me. "I'm not disturbed at all by the turn of events. I'm happy they happened in fact" "Lord Michaelis we lost many good vampires. Your apathetic demeanor will not be tolerated by many" "Would you give your life to save my own, May?" Her eyes widen but when she speaks I hear no words. There's
I awake with a loud gasp taking in all the air that could fill my lungs. I blink, my throat tender as I swallow forcing my saliva down. I'm no longer in the room I notice. Everywhere is filled with some form of antique, the room vast and the carpet flush against my skin. I'm on the ground. My body protests as I attempt to sit up and I come face to face with my attacker. Lady Amy watches me from her seat, drinking what I supposed was blood from a transparent glass. Her eyes change from red to grey then back. Maybe her own attempt to remind me who she was. An intimidation of sorts.I shuffle backwards attempting to get away, tears stinging my eyes, I don't want to die but my choices were limited. I wasn't equipped to fight a vampire and though Aiden had said I could harm him he had neglected to mention how. Garlic, silver, a stake? None of those were currently within my reach and I doubted the bitch kept garlic in her house."Oh come on, are you seriously trying to escape me? You should
Thomas is beside me, I'm wrapped in his arms but I'm still astonished to find him here. In some ways I thought I'll never see him again. That they've finally succeeded in taking him away from me. But he's here, warm and still clinging as usual. I sigh once more too trapped in my reverie to express much. I don't want to talk, to ruin this moment lest in some way he disappears from me.Yes I might be going crazy silently but do you blame me? I'm always stuck in a box with myself as company. I see nor hear anything. Completely blind to the world. It's sad. How fate has decided to launch me into unforgiving circumstances.Thomas nuzzles my hair taking a deep breath and I sigh tugging him a little closer towards me. I'm swinging. Swinging between bursting into tears or being completed incensed."I can't believe your back" I say finally finding the words."I know" Thomas answers holding me close."You didn't even write or anything. I wasn't sure if you w
My head collided with the cold concrete of the wall, taking a deep breath. I'm exhausted, weak and damn well deprived of sleep. Since I'm not taking their blood drugs I'm more tired than anyone else. My mind shifts to Yuuki for awhile. She's the only person that gets me going through the shitty days I've got. She's the reason why I'm doing this. I'm just praying she's still okay. Larry will take care of her, I know that but I can't help but worry.Lying here, I diffuse my restlessness with thoughts of her. The softness of her hair, the brightness of her smile, her laughter. Just how welcomed her warm body would feel against mine. God I missed her. I missed kissing her and holding her. Being apart for so long was driving me crazy. We weren't supposed to be apart, but here I am a hundred miles away from the woman I loved."No he didn't suspect a thing"" Are you sure? ""Of course I'm sure"I paused my reverie peaking around the column where I laid resting, seeing a woman and vampire Fe
"Ah Lord Michaelis. How good of you to honor the invitation." "Sir Vanriel," I reply. "Its been awhile."The aged vampire moved forward glancing me up and down. "Yes well, let's not be partisan here. It's more pleasant to address everyone with their titles" "It's that so? Then please forgive me, Council man, it seems I've forgotten my manners"His eyes move from me towards the figure that had now settled next to me, a look of complete astonishment on his face. "Well all my life. This must be your sibbling, yes?" The Councilman gestured to Hayden that was busy picking lint from his clothes, a sign that he's not interested in joining the conversation. "I don't think we've ever seen him." "Our parents moved back to Romania before he was born" "Right, right" He says still staring at my brother. "Though I'm going to have to resent his invitation. There's already a Michaelis attending, we can't have two. It's just not necessary" "Oh, is that how it is?" Hayden asks joining the borin
When we arrive, Aiden leaves completely ignoring me as usual. I do my best to remain indifferent but everything is worst than when the human bride was about. He is spaced out at times and even now his mood is absolutely fickle. When we were kids we hardly socialized together. He was always caught up in his father's work and when he wasn't he ignored everyone. Everyone except his brother. Then again he was only twelve.I try my best not to seem utterly displeased or disturbed by his demeanor anymore but I'm not always at my best. I can't hide how I feel or that the fact that he doesn't care for my feelings at all doesn't hurt. That woman has changed him for the worst, if anything it was better they had never met. Aiden doesn't have a bone of pleasantries left in his body which just makes him all the more terrifying. Especially since he looks so much like uncle Ashton.The large foryer is empty as I make my way into the house. I'm guessing with Aiden's less than pleasant demeanor coming
