There's a shift in the strings of fate. Darkness had steadily grown stronger over time, but so did its opposite. Even now the gears are turning as they always have, but for how long until someone came along and stalled them?
She shivered beneath his gentle caress, her breaths coming in quick and soft gasps. His lips trailed her exposed collarbone, barely grazing his fangs across her flesh. Underneath her closed eyelids she can feel the intensity of his gaze. If she were to open her eyes, would this dream end abruptly? What if this wasn't a dream though? What if her body was accepting this man she barely knew?
There was something in the air. A shift in the elements. Even now as Janice walked the dimly lit path in one of their ancient groves, their was a heaviness to the air. The soil beneath her feet was dark and cold, even with her shoes on. The trees bent over her and another sister, arcing a tunnel of dead branches as a canopy. Even with a lit lantern to help guide their way, the path ahead of them was still covered in shadows while the path behind them was swallowed up."You think you would get used to it, but you never do every
Blood. Everywhere.Willow gazed down at her hands where the crimson liquid pooled and dripped from her fingers. So many eyes, so many laughing faces. When she looked around, only the eyes stared back. No faces to match those laughing eyes. She could feel the coolness of
The link between them was growing slimmer by the day. He barely knew where she was going after school, let alone peek into her memories again. After the conference call with the other council members, finding out anything about Karmina was top priority, but his mind kept shifting back to the pixie haired woman he let get away. Was she safe? Was she eating? Did she miss him? These agonizing thoughts drove him away from cabin and into the cold night on Halloween. Hoping he would come across a straggler or two to help quench his thirst, the unmistakable scent of blood had filled his senses and turned his nerves on overdrive. It was faint to start, but it seemed to running parallel to his location. Perhaps an elk got away from a hunter and was deeply wounded, or a drunken bafoon stumbled through the dark and injured themselves. No matter the case may be, he was going to find out.
Snowflakes cascaded down from the darkened sky, the fire danced delicately in the fireplace and the scent of sage and lavender fumed the room. Willow sat on the couch, her legs propped up beside her with a quilted blanket wrapped around her and a book in her hands. Since the incident at Amanda's party, Willow was granted permission by Janice to reside at her cabin. Instead of waiting until she graduated from school to leave the confines of her aunt's house, Dante went through extra measures to have her removed from her aunt's care. The old woman couldn't care less what the girl did, but nearly fought against it when she realized she wouldn't be receiving the funds for her anymore. From what Willow understood, Dante took care of that issue and she hadn't heard from her aunt since.In regards to the incident, it came to no surprise to her that the police force feigned ignorance on the matter. For those that attended the party swore up and down that nothing horri
Why did it come to this? How?As Roy stepped out of the principal's office for the eighth time since the blood incident with Willow, everyone around him looked different. His friends that he had joked around with at lunch have this distant look in their eyes every time he walked by. His large circle had shrunk overnight all because he stood up for Willow when no one else would, and in return they turned their backs on him. He didn't care about his status at school, he just wanted justice for Willow's humiliation.He found Willow at her locker at the end of the day, her eyes boring into her phone when he knocked on her head gently. The moment her eyes met his, his heart slammed against his chest. Those purple eyes, so rare and beautiful were the purest and most innocent things he had ever seen. Yet he couldn't admit that to her. Not yet at least."Hey, I'm glad I found you. I was hoping you had
He sat and watched Willow pace anxiously in front of the fireplace. When word got out that Amanda was murdered, all eyes were directed towards her. Though she had an alibi when the officers came to question her, it didn't stop the backlash from the students or Amanda's parents. Even now they were finding things to pin her to the murder, but the crime scene had been wiped clean.Of course they would blame a Witch, but I know Willow. Her heart is too good to do such a thing."What am I supposed to do?" Willow sniffled her question, pausing in her next step to wipe her eyes. Dante rose up from his seat and stood in front of her, resting his hands on her arms. Since the night he kissed her, she had been slightly distant from him. Now with the world going against her, she leaned on him more."Let me take you away from here." He offered to her again. She kept her gaze down, another avoidance. He lif
I feel... empowered...Willow lay awake in her bed another night, staring at the ceiling. It had only been a few days since her first sexual experience with Dante and she could feel her energy changing within her body. She read through books Janice had left behind, but found no information as to why her powers felt enhanced after enduring an orgasm.She shut her eyes, but the flashback to Dante drinking from her and his fingers massaging her sex was all she could see. Even now her body ached and tingled to experience his touch once more, but fear followed behind. Dante had been patient right after, not pushing to continue what they started. He seemed to understand her confusion, and agreed to assist in finding answers, but even he was coming up with nothing.As she tossed and turned, the phone beside her vibrated softly and the screen lit up the room. When she glanced a
