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 from a worried Dimitry.
'Why was I being a bitch I defended Alessandro as if I had to why am I feeling this I don't know Alessandro the old Faith would have heeded Dimitry's warning but I was drawn into those onyx eyes as if they hypnotized me I look both ways and continued down my street realizing just how tired I had become rubbing my eyes.
"So...tired," I said to myself
I only had one drink, what was in that thing, feeling light-headed I'm about to fall over but I am caught In a man's muscular arms.
"I've got you," He said
Who was this stranger my eyes were too blurry to make the figure I kept stumbling like a fool until he seemed to have enough sighing and picking me up bridal style, I looked up at the stranger's eyes so beautiful so hazel so black looking, I poke his cheek a couple of times.
"I can't focus-who are you" I drawled out
He chuckles, "You'll find out more...soon enough Angel" He replied
"Angel..." I tested it out loud
I began snuggling closer to the stranger feeling exhausted this wasn't normal for me I never went heavy on alcohol there had been a few occasions, but I never would be in a stranger's arms as I moved I heard a low growl from his chest maybe it was a hum a drunk Faith always hallucinated or did she.
Alessandro's Pov:
I watch her Faith in my arms I cradle her close to my body as I look up at her house 'Crap' I needed to be invited in.
I look down at her "You need to wake up" I said in front of the door she groaned in annoyance
"We are at your house..." I said again
She grabbed her keys from her clutch tiredly and threw them at my chest as I gripped them trying the keys until I found the right one.
"You can come in," she replied tiredly yawning
I look down at her furrowing my brows as her soft breaths turn into little snores while I walk up her stairs chuckling to myself, I open her bedroom door and place her in the bed taking her shoes off and covering her gently with the quilt.
I push a piece of hair behind her ear as I stand up her eyes are half-lidded as she mumbled "Who are you...?"
Soon enough they closed again her sighing "Yours..." I said
Walking out of her bedroom, locking the house up before exiting to come face to face with my first command raising an eyebrow I roll my eyes.
"What are you waiting for?" He questioned me impatiently
I sighed "Dylan she doesn't know what we are I'm not just going to turn her that's against the code OUR code they need to want it if you forget that, I want you to look into her, her background, family, everything I need to know her, especially her situation with Cain," I said.
He nodded knowing to end the conversation there well for now knowing him the conversation will arise again.
"It will be done," He said vanishing
I walk across the street to my house taking one final glance at her home and her bedroom window.
Faith's Pov:
I woke up stretching a couple of times I probably looked like A demented spider, I wipe my eyes groggily taking over slapping my hand on the bed tiredly I look at my surroundings and everything slowly came back I gasped sitting up fast.
"Oh my god I invited A STRANGER into my house," I said out loud what the actual fuck?!'
"Who was he?, oh my god I'm so stupid on so many different levels," I said out loud shocked
I started trying to gather who took me home and why didn't they do anything for one I wasn't naked, I still had my clothes on from last night secondly he covered me by the looks of things and lastly he didn't rape me god who is nice enough these days to do that and who was it I remember his nickname that he gave me 'Angel' why did that make me feel giddy god I was acting like a high school love-struck teen for goodness sake I facepalm at my stupidity.
"Okay, firstly I need to get ready, and then it's time to find out who my mystery man was" I replied out loud as I get up taking a deep breath and getting ready for the day Alessandro passed in my mind every so often.
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
Faith's Pov: I look around the house sighing in relief "Finally!" I said flopping on the lounge My cell starts ringing thinking it was my best friend Georga but it was my mother's name popping up I clench my jaw staring at it shaking my head a little knowing I couldn't keep ignoring her. I pick up the phone answering it "Mum if it's about the marriage drop it," I said with annoyance "Where are you?" She asks I swallow "Far away from you and Father" I replied "Where are you, young lady!" She exclaimed "As I said far away you both did this to me and split our family apart, I didn't want to marry Cain but you tried to push my hand Mother" I replied She sighed "Are you safe?" She asks worry in her voice, I swallow the tone in her voice making me sigh. "I'm safe mum you have nothing to worry about..." I said. "Can you at least tell me where you are I won't tell your father you know I've kept a lot from him" She replied in a whisper "I'm in Forestville," I said The line goes quie
