She fainted. I stood contemplating whether to drop her or not. Growling I wrapped her in my arms walking to her bed before laying her down. I stared at Victoria still annoyed at she passed out while I was still feeding. I might have taken too much blood at once, I lost control. I was angry. Angry she wasn't Belle but still relieved. But I was still angry that she defied my orders. His smell was all over her. Brother or not I didn't want him near her. She was mine, why doesn't she recognize that? My eyes shifted to her neck where my fangs pierced. Her skin was so soft and her blood was like nothing I ever tasted. It far exceeded aged wine. It felt like I had a taste of what humans called heaven. Silk and refined, as if I was running my hand through soft velvet. I couldn't control myself, I couldn't stop. Was this why blood letting was forbidden? Because they knew the blood letting would only continue. There was no way I could release her now. She was bound to me, just like her, my
I stood before the mirror in my room staring at the girl being reflected. Vampire. The word kept repeating in my head. Vampire.How could he be a vampire?Something that wasn't real, something that wasn't supposed to exist?Something that was vile ans revolting. Suddenlyeveything started to make sense. Their pale skins, the way their eyes tend to have this etheral red glow, the reason they caught me that day. It all finally came together as to why Thomas was always admant that once more of us got injured, the clothing or instruments used haf to be burnt. It's the reason why we moved around so many times. But a vampire, even now my head was finding it hard to wrap my mimd around it and accept it. This was the monster that I was living with. No rather monsters, since he wasn't the only one, inclusive of his brother. My fingers ghosted his recent bite, the wound had started to heal but it was slightly painful. I was so weak. I wasn't toppling over from his first few feedings but there
I swept her into my hand walking with her in my arms, kicking the door in before placing her against her bed. I frowned still confused with the sight I had just seen earlier. At first I thought she was staring at me, the same way she always had, but then I realized her eyes lacked emotion as if she had completely given up on the world still turning on its axis. As if she knew she was dying. I wanted to avoid her today, though I was badly starving for her blood. But after accidentally finding myself with her partly dressed, I decided against it. I needed to drown myself in paperwork, anything that would keep my mind from thinking about what I had seen, or how it had made me feel. Normally it was easy to persuade my minds to do whatever I wanted. To not pay her attention and not notice things. But that was damn near impossible now. That's why I found myself climbing the stairs instead of being neck deep in paperwork, that's the reason I found myself holding her in my arms while she be
My body was pinned to the wall as Aiden's body pressed to mine. I trembled only slightly, an betraying emotion bubbling up within me. I wasn't scared, damn I've been in this situation before. Something fluttered in my gut watching him stare down at me from his height, his eyes the shade of blood, glistening under the moon light. Was it fear?Anticipation?Lust?We've been in this position over and over. His hand trailed my clavicle, so slow and long as if engraving in his mind what my skin felt like. Hades eyes narrowed on a mark he had left from his earlier feeding across my shoulder, delight, maybe from the memory shining in his eyes. "Victoria, " His tone is dark and alluring, his pale skin glowing in the moonlight that covers us. I swallow hard finally seeing the edges of his fangs as they grow out, protruding from his mouth. My eyes slid shut waiting, anticipating his piercing, no longer focusing on the pain of the experience anymore. He wouldn't hurt me. I think. His hand mo
"That girl" said Lady Amy. She was perched on a red satin covered king sized bed that seemed like it was torn from the pictures of Nepolean's bedroom. The canopy above was draped with white curtains shielding the large bed frame, each with a rose engraved head and foot rest. The room itself was more than large enough to hold at least another bed of the same size, with space for the surrounding beside table, closet and window bed that laid next to the side. Everything in this damn forgotten place wreaked of Hades. "She's interesting," Continued Amy, her eyes now meeting mine as she held her glass with blood, swirling it around. I laid against the door of her room bristling, my hands folded across my chest and brows furrowed. Why the hell she needed to meet me here was beyond my understanding. I've oft than not turned her down, but even then she still tries. "Why are we meeting here?" I ask ignoring the fact that it had nothing to do with the previous conversation.She blinked in
Aiden hovered over me on the bed, his fangs deep in the flesh just above my breast. Pain lingered on and off. If I moved an inch it worsened. My punishment for interrupting his meal. I tried to keep my mind blank, but there were so much emotions pouring from me. Fear, hatred and in the midst of it all confusion that I felt violated but craved the pleasure of hot bites. His hand slipped across my body, brushing across my breast, the sensation stirring something that freaked me to no end. I flinched automatically, before my cheeks burnt, though I knew he wasn't trying to to seduce me. His hand settled at my neck, forcing my head backward before he moved, tucking his fangs inside me once more. I gasped, my hairs standing on ends, feeling him lean a little closer. Was I supposed to feel this way? Shouldn't I be repulsed by this? What was this feeling, this warmth spreading through my body?Maybe I was finally dying, tears sprung in my eyes thinking of Belle. Maybe he fed from her too. M
"Thomas!" Larry hails me, glancing over his shoulders and eye peeled to see if anyone was watching us. I jog to him, both of us finding a safe place to chat. I knew from the way he was being careful, whatever he had to say was important. "I have some news youre really gonna like." He starts. My ears perk up immediately. "About Yuuki?" Larry's smile spreads large and wide against his face like a cheschire cat. "Even better." He hugs me close, eyes still peeled as we observed our surroundings. We had to act casual, there was no telling who might be about. "You've got a loophole. A once in a lifetime chance to get in and out without hopefully," He tosses me a knowingly look. "Without anyone getting hurt." "How?" "They are going off the island for a little big." Larry explains. "Leaving, when?" "You mean to tell me you dont know this, how can you not know this?" He questions. "You're always with her." "Trust me," I turn away recalling the the smell and chill that lingered in
"Okay! " Says Yuuki, pulling me to a stop, bending over, her breathing coming out with ragged breaths. "Hold on!" She holds her knees almost toppling over and I glance about, nervously hoping there's no one for patrol. The longer we stay on the compound the higher our chances of getting caught. And caught was definitely not on my agenda. We needed to move. We needed to move fast and we needed to move now! "Yuuki, " I say grabbing into her shoulder. "Come on we need to get going. "Her eyes snapped to mine as she paused her panting, her irises screaming murder. "What the hell Thomas!" She snapped shaking my hand from her shoulder. "Just in case you haven't noticed I'm out of shape. There's not much running to do inside a wall by wall cage! " "Well you've obviously been comfortable while I've been braving the elements. " I retort standing tall as she tosses. me a glare before an eye roll. "Once we get out of here, you-er we can move a bit slower. But right now we need to leave. I do
Every day is the same. Outside is covered in white, and a chilling wind tumbles through the window before storming into the room. It's daytime out apart from the blue skies, or what should have been blue skies that are hidden behind ashen clouds, there's nothing else that speaks to the day. The moment is wintry and foreboding, truly daunting to any type of fun you'd think of having. Then again, my type of fun is being resigned to a wall-by-wall cage. My life doesn't seem to get better than this. I'm always trapped, despite where ever I go. I know I'm not to think this way, I'm here because Thomas is attempting to keep me safe. But am I really? Once Aiden comes back and finds me gone, what then? He'll tear the world apart. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking. I don't even know what my thoughts are anymore. One minute I'm sure that being away from him is the best thing, the next, I'm terrified of him never finding me. I should hate him. A murderer and monster. A cruel bastard tha
I'm silent, too repulsed to open my mouth as vomit lingers just outside my throat. I was not sure what to expect from this meeting, but I sure as well was not expecting the attendees to be drinking vampire blood. Especially not my father! What the hell was happening here? And why were they comrades with a damn vampire? The same creatures that we were already desperate to get away from! Was this some reverse psychology bullshit? How funding different were we from the bloodsuckers if we were drinking blood too? Another wave of repulsive hits as I realized something. There were no human donors around, but that didn't mean that they didn't have them locked away somewhere from prying eyes. My stomach churns once more just thinking of it. Was this really human blood? "It's quite refreshing, you know," The Vampire says breaking through my mind haze. "Just look around. Aren't they enjoying it?" I continue to stare. I might have looked apprehensive but I was scared and mortified as
"What! You're still here?" My father barked coming up the staircase. I haven't seen this man in a few days, but the rumors spreading among the auxiliary workers certainly weren't false. He's angry and miserable. His chaotic madness spreading like poisonous miasma. My father was scary when he wanted to be, or when the pressures of our Government got to levels he could no longer contain. But this, the monster of what he was, now standing before me was horrifyingly barbaric. I didn't recognize him at all. His eyes were red, blood vessels coursing thickly through his hands, while the vein at his neck throbbed dramatically. For a fraction of a second, I'm happy my mother and little brother were dead. They would be heart broken seeing him like this. My hands slide into my pockets effortlessly as I pause watching him. "Yes sadly, " I answer. "But see, since my visit had nothing to do with you I didn't think it mattered. I have a life too you know. "My father teeth clenches in annoyance
I spent the latter part of the morning, perusing the small diary I found encased in the Chaney family book.I've been doing my best to find out more about my mate. Anything that will connected the missing data to explain her existence- or lack of. The book contains an annoying vast majority of dates, questions and history alluding to what the owner has done and have been, but very little about Yuuki herself. It seemed geared towards aquainting the child with the previous owner than to state the relationship between them. Other than the first mention of Yuuki's name and her words alluding to be the mother, there were very other few instances, which were very far between of the child ever again. I couldn't compare the Chancey book with the diary either, having found it completely worthless to seek information there. Other than the lingering question of why both women birth dates were similar, there was nothing else to connect them. That is until the book fell from my hand momentarily o
Lady Amy meets me at the door, her eyes doing her usual stomach churning sweep of me, before licking her lips. Vampire or human, there were always girls that I knew for a fact I'd never be interested in. I just didn't know humans and vampires would ever be this close alike. "What do you want? I'm leaving like you asked. "She smiled running a finger against my jaw, my feet taking a step back from her reach. "Oh come on are we playing this right now?" She purrs and I roll my eyes. "I don't know when you'll be back......if you'll be back. " I stiffen immediately as her words sink in. Truth lining every fibre of it. But I had to come back, for Yuuki's sake. I had to keep her safe. "What the hell do you want?" I snap. "You're wasting my time. " "Fine, " Amy snorts, taking a step beside me, placing her palms on either side of my head. "What do you think you're doing?" I twist myself, attempting to get further away from her, my distrust of her intentions evident. Amy tosses me a
I held Yuuki in my hand, stroking her hair while she wrapped her hand around my neck. My cheeks hurt from all our laughing, thinking back on all our times we spent together. Next I indulged her curiosity about things her mind found awe of like contraceptives for instance. Her family robbed her, they robbed Yuuki of enjoying life, of feeding her curiosity that would have blossomed into something beautiful. They robbed her of who she would have been. My mind fluttered to her question, only days ago. Eric Chancey was a good friend of my father's, they were both servants of our government and he was a very influential man. His life was kept crisp and tight, no one knew what went on behind his gates. Belle was truly the only heir anyone knew to the now forgotten estate. She was forced into the social ranks like I was, only I escaped for school and because I didn't care about openly rebelling and not meeting my father's expectations. But she however, knew she had to play her role well. In
I hated that Victoria wasn't where I left her. That her room was empty. That the only thing behind was the subtle rose fragrance that always surround her, since the last few months. I wasn't even sure who to be angry at. Her for not heeding my order, or my stupid brother for not caring either way whether she was here or not. The door to her room slammed loudly as I walked out frustrated. Keeping her safe was much more difficult than I thought it would be. Growling I stalked down the stairs my hands gripping the railings a little too roughly, a section coming off in my hand before tossing it through the window. The bottom floor that was only seconds ago filled with vampires is now completely empty except for one person. Hayden. He gives me a pouting smile not knowing how much I really wanted to snap his neck at the moment. Instead my hands slip into my pockets as I made my way into my study. I needed a distraction. "Were you going through my books?" I asked looking around and finall
"How old are you Aiden?" The bright light of the sun pours through the open glass windows as the wind bounces through the curtains. A tall figure stands at the edge of the bed, his shirt white and hangs over the edges of his dark pants. Aiden hair is long, the edges touching his shoulder at the back, but shorter at the front. "I don't think this is a game you want to play. " "Oh come on, how old could you possibly be? A few years older? That's not at all scary" the voice laughs and it seems somewhat familar, like mine. Aiden steps away from the edge of the bed making his way back to where she say pulling at the sleeves of his shirt. "Belle. " "I want to know, " she says moving across the bed to cup his face in her hands. Aiden's gaze remain docile for awhile before they shift and he swallows leaning into her hands. "You don't have to hide from me Aiden" she says again, her thumb rubbing across his cheek. "I'm not going to run and hide. I'll always be here. " "I'm over six
After taking my bath and returning to the serenity of the room all I can think about is Thomas, our kiss and what it meant. What it could mean. I know he said it was a mistake, but it didn't feel like it, or maybe I didn't want it to feel like it. Did I? I gripped my hair thinking about everything. Why was life and emotions so complicated? Why couldn't everything be simple black and white? What did I really want? Aiden comes to mind and I mentally scream at myself. Why am I thinking about him? We're so far apart yet he still has this hold on me. Aiden isn't safe, I remind myself. Thomas is. I've know him for almost a year now, he's given everything to get me safe and keep me away from my kidnappers. Yes that's what Aiden is, my kidnapper. I lay on my side forcing myself to think of Thomas before sighing. I screwed up, I'm so stupid! How could I ever tell him he never cared. I'm so stupid! I'm Blind too. How could I not have noticed anything about him? Was it because we always calle
