Faith's Pov:
I watch his calculating eyes as he analyzed my face a look of longing covering his features and for some odd reason, I felt drawn to him.
"Who is he?" I asked staring into the eyes that captured me as if they hypnotized me
Dimitry glares in hatred "He's bad news doll I would stay far away from him" He replied
I look around the tables it seemed in this club everyone is glaring at everyone this must be a bad part of town I gathered in my innocent head little did I know this was normal in this town.
"What happened to him?" I asked glancing at the scar as he walked to the bar
Dimitry doesn't comment no one does but for some reason, I was curious about this man.
"I'm going to go get myself a drink," I said
They looked at me "I can come with," Dimitry said rising up quickly
I raise an eyebrow "Dimitri it's not like he's going to bite me he looks harmless," I said
Obviously, my naive brain refused to believe he was harmful at the time
I walk over to the bar sitting two spots away from him hollering the barmen over he made my cocktail Pinky Peaches it was called...a stiff drink and with good reason, glancing in the corner of my eye to this mysterious nightwalker they called him he swirled his drink it was so thick it looked almost like blood but that thought went over my head I should have really listened to my intuition.
He cleared his throat "I hear you are the new girl in town?" He asks looking at me
My innocent eyes reach his something swirled in their love...lust I was confused but answered his question "Yes It seems everyone is interested in the new outsider..." I replied
He chuckled deeply sending a shiver cascading down my spine "Well you do stick out to most of the town you don't look at me in disgust or others like me" He said sighing a little
I caught it intrigued "Why would you disgust me?" I questioned
He looked up something crossing his features as in realization. He dragged his finger down his scar line ending at his mouth raising an eyebrow.
"Just because you have a scar doesn't make me disgust you each scar tells a story, each scar means you survived an ordeal they don't make you weak they make you stronger I...speak from experience" I drawled out the last part.
My dad was horrible I have scars on my back from the spiked whips he used If I made mistakes whether it was when I was training or didn't get A's at school no one has ever seen them I wore shirts at the beach to cover the marks because it raised suspicion, it raised questions and I couldn't have my father going to jail no matter how much I hated him to the core.
Alessandro's Pov:
"You..speak from experience?" I questioned
Looking at this girl her eyes held a hurting as If she had painful memories I looked at her trying to figure her out, does she have scars? I questioned myself.
"Yes, I do." She replied leaving no room for me to question further
Which I understood as she sipped her cocktail, I nodded "So what made you move to Forestville we don't get a lot of vacant people coming to live out here" I asked her I finally see that beautiful smile grace her plump lips.
"Well, I don't have let's say the best relationship with my family at this present moment" She replied twirling her drink with the straw.
"If you don't mind me asking why?" I asked wanting to know her deepest darkest secrets, her eyes reached mine.
Faith's Pov:
I felt compelled to tell this stranger my life story his hazel eyes burning into my own, I cleared my throat "Well...my father wanted to marry me off to this psycho the guy had weapons sharpened wood, holy water it's as if he was hunting something he was always out half the time...I thought it was vampires maybe he was just delusional" I said humor in my voice making him slightly smirk at my comment about the vampires.
I continued saying "He nevertheless was a complete maniac they called him Cain The Devil for many reasons...I had enough packed a duffle bag and all the money I saved the final straw was when my mother sided with my father, I thought she was on my side but I thought wrong and here I am I guess...oh my god why am I telling you this" I said coming to the realization I just told him things I've never told anyone willed myself not to tell anyone it's as if it came out 'What the hell is wrong with me.
Alessandro's Pov:
'Cain The Devil' I heard stories from my kind she doesn't seem to know what he has been involved in, That comment about vampires made me want to laugh because she was sitting right next to one oblivious in her innocent mind, so that means she doesn't know about our history but I was no idiot they called him Cain The Devil for many reasons, 'The torture methods were brutal he impaled our kind hung us up like we were vermin watching us squirm laughing while we died I escaped with a scar down my face my sister was less fortunate in that department.
All my kind in the club listened in on the conversation we were having with a knowing glint in their eyes, They say when we find out soul mates our eyes shine brighter than normal, I shook my head at my first command warning him to back down I knew he wanted to egg me on to turn her right there he furrowed his eyebrows but complied with my request it would become a blood bath in here If he made an unstable move.
"Did he ever hurt you?" I asked
"Once or twice..." She paused
Then continued "More than I can count" She finished
She shook her head as If waking out of her daze and looking back on her trauma, I call over the barmen I look at him once he nods grabbing a napkin and a pen, I write my number down
"Call me...and I wouldn't trust your new friends," I said coldly seeing Dimitri making his way over here.
Knowing my eyes turned an onyx color her eyes widened slightly her green eyes stared into mine she slowly nodded, and I left gesturing with my head to the clan half of the bar leaving with me.
Faith's Pov: I look down at the napkin "Alessandro" I quietly whisper his name So hot oh my god get it together woman I thought I fold the napkin putting it into my wallet, Suddenly I'm joined by Dimitry "Faith...what did he say?" He asked I furrow my brows I didn't want to tell him and I didn't know why...odd I thought "It was a private conversation Dimitry" I state sipping my drink He looked conflicted within himself as if trying to control his anger why I wouldn't know but soon I would. "You don't understand Faith how bad of a person he is" He replied in a harsh whisper I look up studying his face why was he so adamant that I not talk to Alessandro, "Why are you trying to persuade me not to talk to him?" I questioned raising a questioning eyebrow. I then continued "Please do enlighten me, Dimitry, what's so bad about him hmm?" I awaited his answer but it never came. "Figures" I state I got off the bar stool sighing "I'm going home and going alone" I said walking away fro
Faith's Pov: I lock the house up my eyes drawn immediately to the empty dead building across the street, picture this lush green suburban neighborhood perfect, but one house alone looking haunted something children would dare each other to go knock on Halloween night your parents taunting you with the story of if your naughty inside that house the boogeymen will jump out and punish you. Reminded me of the torture room I saw all those weapons the stench made me gag I shake away the trauma not wanting to relive another day of that horror I had decided to start a new life when I left four days ago from Florida. I look back up to see the blinds pulled back and a face peering at me looking back into my eyes, Is that...no that can't be him...it's a creepy, peeping Tom that's it and I stuck my middle finger up raising an eyebrow. From then I was completely fucked obviously I didn't exactly know it yet but I sure was going to find out I narrowed my eyes huffing turning around and heading
Faith's Pov: After I left the cafe I sat in the park leaning against a tree reading my favorite book 'The House Beyond The Gate', I sip on my coffee enjoying the caramel. I sigh after a while wanting to know who was the stranger that took me home did I give him my address maybe it was a friend of Dimitri's, but no because then he would have texted me or at least Chloe so who was it? I tried piecing together the night I only had one drink I wouldn't have gotten drunk that quickly, was my drink spiked I thought while scratching my head trying to remember. After a while I look around at my surroundings everything seems...too normal today not like last night when everyone was just looking hatefully at each other around the room It felt like If someone made the wrong move a bomb would explode or at the very least a purge would happen, I'm about to get up pausing my phone vibrating knocking me out of my thoughts. I look down at the caller ID to see Cain's name I notice my hand slightly sh
Faith's Pov: When I let Alessandro inside I can't help the butterflies fluttering in my stomach, While I lead him into the kitchen I can't help but think why would he decide to help me and most importantly how did he know where I lived. I lean against the bench a comfortable silence wavering over us before I decide to speak "I guess a thank you is in order for getting me home safe," I said a small smile making its way to my lips. "You don't need to It was the right thing to do the drink you had is a strong one even a glass-like that you had can cause some effect" He replied "Anyway...I am grateful but my question for you is how come you know where I live?" I asked raising an eyebrow intrigued by his answer I notice him fidgeting a little "I'm your neighbor" He replied sheepishly "The house across the street?" I questioned a small smirk finding Its way to my face He notices this chuckling "Okay, Okay yes It's that house" He replied 'So he is the peeping tom my thoughts stood co
Alessandro's Pov: I barge into the home gripping the stair railing I could still smell her blood It invading my senses, I squeezed my eyes shut trying to get a hold of myself I stumble into the kitchen my vision red in hunger, I quickly grab the blood bag ripping it open and drinking, leaning back on the bench in relief. "Well, Well, Well what's got you all riled up" I heard behind me My body goes stiff I hadn't heard that voice in over a century, and I slowly turn around coming face to face with Luca, he was here why I questioned myself immediately. He sat in my armchair fingers laced behind his head and feet on the coffee table with a smirk planted on his face. "How did you find me?" I spat in anger "Oh come now brother you know Father and I have to keep tabs on you, especially the way you're portraying yourself," He said I know he was talking about the rebellion he took after my father despising humans to the core ever since our mother died at a hunter's hand. "I already tol
Faith's Pov: I awake with a gasp the nightmares plaguing my every dream I haven't had one good dream since I was a mere child, my eyes follow my alarm clock as It sat at three in the morning, I groan in annoyance flopping back down and staring up at the roof feeling on edge. "When can I start living without fear of him..." I thought saying it out loud Looking back on all the times I was naive, Cain making excuses saying it was my fault and I started to believe that, that is until Georgia knocked sense into me telling me to run, to hide that me being with him could be the death of me. I closed my eyes trying to squeeze my eyes shut to at least get a few more hours of sleep until I began work but to no avail, I couldn't will myself to. I huff in annoyance looking at the clock it being five in the morning now, throwing my covers back knowing If I can't just sleep I'll get ready for work and watch tv. I walk into the bathroom staring at my reflection back in the mirror I always had
Faith's Pov: Once I lock up the establishment and turn around I see Alessandro looking up at the moon gazing at it, taking a deep breath in of the crisp, cold air "Beautiful isn't it?" I asked sending him a small smile He looks at me "This is my day and night it feels like" He replied "How so?" I questioned wanting to know him because he was a mystery "Well my...skin condition" He began trailing off as if it's uncomfortable to speak about "You don't have to delve deep into something you are uncomfortable with," I said in a supportive manner. He sighs but continued anyway "Well at sunset Is really the only time I can get out the night is also my day because I'm free to leave the house," He said I gestured in the direction of my car while we began walking slowly as If we wanted to stay in each other's company just a little while longer. "Is there anything that can treat you? fix it?" I questioned Alessandro's Pov: When she asked me that question how could I explain the only
Walking down the street coming across an open house not knowing from this moment on, my life would change and meet the man I fell in love with today. Faith's Pov: I continued to walk finding a woman with a house sign for sale I paused glancing up at the beautiful home the girl trying to be quick as she kept looking at the time on her watch sweating in fear... "Hello," I called out getting her attention as she glanced up quickly blowing a deep sigh of relief. "Are you selling," I asked she wiped her hands on her blazer "Are you buying?" she replied in almost desperation like begging me to take the house off her hands. I cock my head to the side noticing a bandage on her neck but don't question any further not wanting to step too far out of line. "I was browsing a couple of places...are you shutting anytime soon," I said noticing her fidget looking across the road at what I didn't know willing myself to turn around there was no one there until she noticed that I caught on to her di
