All Chapters of Second Chances: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

It was still night time and Marcus and I were outside standing a few feet apart from each other. The Owls hooted in the distance and crickets chirped in the nearby bushes. “What are we doing?” I asked Marcus, half yelling across the yard to him. He wore a grey jacket over a white shirt and black sweats. Marcus gave me a grin before saying, “Honing your skills some before we head in.” He positioned himself into a running stance and before I asked him what he meant, I heard a whooshing sound then tap on my shoulder. I turned and saw him standing there with cocky smile. “Over time you will get better at doing this,” He directed my attention to the tree line where it met with the forest. “Now you give it a go. Remember to focus and breathe.”“I thought vampires didn’t breathe?” I asked. “Or was the all folklore as well.” I bent down slightly and focused toward the forest. I heard Marcus giv

Present Day/Night Nora & Blake’s P.O.V Nora and Blake sat by the lake, on top of some rocks, watching the water ripple slowly in the wind. It was a fresh night and all the animals were out doing their own nightly business. There was a silence before Nora spoke, her voice quiet but able to be heard. “How much longer before this is over?”Blake whom stayed quiet as well looked at Nora and lifted a hand to push a lock of hair behind her ear. “I’m not sure,” his tone was soft and loving. “But I’m certain that Marcus is advising a plan to clear our names.” His hand went to grasp hers, giving it a small squeeze for comfort.“We didn’t do what Sarene accused,” Nora’s response a pout and Blake held back a small grin that quivered at the corner of his mouth. “As you know we’ve been elsewhere.”“I’m aware of this,” Blake said as calmly

I turned my attention back to Gabriel and took calming breaths to tame the fear that I was feeling but no matter how many I took, it still lingered like shadows in a deep dark void. "What did he ever do to you that wanted revenge?" I asked, keeping his attention to me. Gabriel scoffed and tightened his grip on me. My tone held fear but like any normal person, I wasn't. Not anymore."He hasn't told you the story bout Him and I?" Gabriel's tone sounded surprised and I arched and eyebrow in confusion. "Looks like I get to tell you my story first." He seemed thrilled by the idea but then I used my peripherals to only to notice that Marcus was right behind Gabriel. A smirk curled his lips and a fang peered out, gleaming beneath what moonlight seeped through the tree line."Doubt you would get a chance." I mumbled before my own fangs came out and I bit him harder than thought I could. I heard Gabriel grunt as I spun out of his grip. but before Gabriel could react Marcus put

My thoughts raced as I used my new found ability to rush through the forest trees and underbrush with Blake and Nora behind me. I felt the small breeze go through my red hair, which had changed when I turned. I no longer had a heart beat so the sound of it bounding in my ears was no longer visible but that wasn't what really concerned me at all. It was the impending situation that was ahead of me and the though I was immortal, there was still some things about this life I still needed to get used to. One was my other powers that seemed to lay dormant inside of myself and the fact that I haven't had the chance to really discover what those were. It made me worried that this encounter with Gabriel and his strengths may exceed mine considering that I was still a newborn and couldn't truly understand the levity of my own morals. Marcus may of taught me the basics of being a vampire but there was more to it than met the eye. I understood all of it but when I was told that I had hidden ab

Remus Pack Meeting “What are we going to do about them?” Emelie Drake had asked Jarvis as she paced frantically back in forth in front of the grand oak table that sat in the massive dining room. “The newborn was close enough to the castle that it made me worry that they'd figure out what is going on.” Her face, dulled by shadow and a faint red and orange glow from the fire, made it seem as though she were fierce and let's face it, Emilie wasn't fierce. “I doubt they would of gotten close enough,” Jarvis said as he placed his goblet of water on the table in front of him. “They don't know a thing as of yet and when they do, things won't end pretty.”“How long can you keep this up?” She asked as she flopped into one of the chairs that seated the rest of the pack. Her eyes said so much and yet didn't bother to say a word. Emelie wasn't the talkative type and the only thing that got her to speak
