Once we made sure that Katie was comfortable, Eric took us to an office so that we could talk privately about how Vicky became ash. I'm assuming that the office we are standing in is for one of the cardinals. Religion has never been my thing, so please forgive me if I don't get their

hierarchy correct. 

Everyone removes their masks. Wow! All three of them are even more handsome than I had imagined. Their eyes just pulled me in before, but even more so now that their masks don't obstruct their features. But I can’t let the eye candy distract me. I cross my arms over my chest, “Now, I think you all have some explaining to do.”

I think Vincent just wants some clarification, and the others might, too. “Firstly, Eva, who do you work for?”

I smirked as I replied, “Stranger Things.” Vincent blinks a few times. He looks amazed that I am a journalist, or maybe that I am Midnight Rose. Has he read my articles as Eric has?

Sam chimes in, “Hold up, so Eva, you wrote about these guys, and have no clue what they are?”

Honestly, I can't blame them for being surprised, and I can't blame Sam for his comment either. Yes, I write about anything and research it enough to appear as an expert to make it believable. But creatures like werewolves and vampires, that go bump in the night, are just fabrications of young children manifesting their fears, right? They don't exist, and I'm not in a room alone with them either. But what if I am? I look at the guys, “I write about a lot of things that don't exist, like aliens and swamp creatures, to name a few.” I study their features.

Eric sits on the edge of the desk, “Let’s assume that everything you have researched is real. Based on that, what do you think we are?”

I answer him, “Well, based on your mannerisms, skin color, voices, and the fact that I was called food, it suggests that you are vampires. But they're not real, right?” There’s just no way!

Vincent smirks as he takes a step forward, “Well, you said seeing is believing, right?”

This may come back to bite me, “I did, and you said that you would show me.” I don't even have time to blink. He’s now nearly touching me. His eyes are glowing blood red, and his smirk is now adorned with fangs. As I make eye contact, I say, “Back off.” He takes a step back and then

regains his composure. He is a vampire! Earlier he was either trying to read my mind or compel me. Why didn't he? Why didn't it work? I have no choice but to accept it. “Fine, point proven.”  Well, fuck, they are real!  I only assumed it was a possibility based on my research, but now I'm in the room with two vampires and a guy who could be a werewolf. Also, why am I not afraid? Why am I curiously aroused?

Eric breaks my thoughts, “I am a vampire, too, as was my wife.”

I needed to know if I caused her death, “I’m sorry about her. Did I kill her?”

He smiles briefly and it reaches his eyes. Does he not love his wife? Are vampires capable of love? Eric says softly, “No, but you did compel her, and I would like to know how.”

I wish I knew. Since my 25th birthday, strange things have been happening to me, and I have discovered that I can make even stranger things happen. But I also don't feel the darkness as I did when I first saw Eric. Vicky must have been what creeped me out, because I have always been able to judge people a bit, except for Victor, but I just chalked it up to my journalistic instincts. What if it was more than that? What if I can detect evil? I decided to be open with them, “I envisioned myself strangling her. I felt darkness too, and I wanted to remove it.”

Eric thinks for a moment, “Try to compel Vincent and me.” I will try. I do. I can feel a bit of their resolve weaken, but not enough to fully control them. I could maybe just control one of them, but I couldn't keep it for long. They're too strong. “You're quite strong. Not as strong as an elder but stronger than an average vampire,” Eric says. He seems impressed, too. Does he know why I can do any of this?

    He pats my arm. “I bet; growing up, thinking you're human, then suddenly learning you're not. Just that alone is nearly impossible to grasp.”I reply, “Just don't go poking around in my mind, it gets a bit crazy in there. Vincent and I are trying to control the link. I'm guessing you want me to write about something, thus, why you invited me to the Gala.”He nods, “My pull to you aside, yes, that's why I initially invited you to the Gala. There have been unauthorized feedings, among other things. I want you to write about the missing humans and those discovered, in addition to other specifics I tell you. Mention our true abilities, so vampires will pay attention. I am hoping some will come forward before Hunters get involved.”“So the murderers in the news are portrayed as a serial killer?” I ask. He nods. I smile, “Consider it done.” As I said that, my alarm went off. Eric joked that he didn't see me set it. I told him that's why I'm so good at my job. “I am going to put my hands on

  • Eternally Bound to My Mates   Macarena

    Vincent comes over, “Eva!”I bite my lip, “You heard?”He nods, “I did. I'm not mad. She had it coming.” Eric stood in front of that vampiress. “Get Veronica out of here. She's had too much. To my office, both of you, please,” he said. So the chick who thought I was food is named Veronica. I will remember that. We walked into his office. It is very nice. He pours us a drink. I giggle because it looks like I drive these guys to drink. Eric shakes his head, “It's scotch; we are going to need this!”I go on the defensive, “She provoked me and tried to grab me!”He sighs, “We know.”I look at Eric, more confused than ever, “You mean Vincent told you?” They look at each other and then at me, “Don't even think … nor suggest! Not happening!”Eric smirks, “Prove me wrong.” I think, 'f*ck you'. They both answer out loud. Vincent says, “I’d love to, when you're ready.” Eric says, “Is that an invitation?”I huff as I throw my hands up, “For fucksake! Can't you just unlike me!”Eric chuckles,

  • Eternally Bound to My Mates   Night Moves

    **We talk in our minds…**I think, “This is amazing.”I can feel him smiling as I hear his thought, “It's a way to travel quickly, but the view can be verylovely.” I turn my head and notice that he's looking at me. I giggle to myself, but as I do, I sense his smile widen, and I feel his hot breath against the back of my neck. We landed at a club called 'Nightly Tendencies'. I giggle as we continue to talk in our minds…“It's just for our kind,” he says, “but since you think it's so funny, what would you call a vampire club?”I don't have to think, “Night Moves or Eternal Bliss.”He smirks, “Yeah, those are better, but we probably shouldn't tell him that.”I gave him a look, “Why not? I'm not afraid of him.”He pinches the bridge of his nose, “Eva, seriously, show some restraint. You already ousted his wife.”I shrug, “She was rude and evil. She had it coming.”He rolls his eyes, “Just stay by my side.”I pout, “Fine, I'll be good.” We continue talking in our minds as we enter the cl

  • Eternally Bound to My Mates   Closer

    We went inside, sat on the couch by the fireplace, and decided to enjoy a nice brandy. The more that I am around Vincent, the more I can see myself in him, and more importantly, with him. How can just a few hours seem as if we have spent decades together? “This is fairly good. I don't usually drink brandy, if I drink at all,” I say, to curb my wandering mind.He sighs as he takes a sip, “Thought it might relax you a bit after what happened in the woods.”The woods…yeah, the woods. He probably thinks I'm still confused about the abilities we explored, but that's not what has me nervous. It does a bit, but what terrifies me is how quickly things are progressing. I am not sure if I can fight this bond, and honestly, I'm not sure that I want to. But I can't just give in to what my body wants, can I?I sigh, “This is all surreal. I suppose it's easier to grasp the whole immortal thing because of books and movies, but where do truth and fiction meet?”He runs his fingers through his hair,

  • Eternally Bound to My Mates   Trust Me

    I laugh, “Do you realize how silly that sounds? I'm in the woods, at night, in the company of apowerful vampire, and you're asking me if I trust you.”He raises his eyebrow, “Well, I was going to give you a massage, but now I'm rethinking it.”I giggle, “Well, don't trouble yourself too much.”He scoffs, “I swear I think the world hates me.”I grin as I laugh, “Or loves you; I'm pretty special.” I catch his thoughts without meaning to. He said to himself, 'Maybe you are more than you know.’ Our eyes lock. The space between us lessens, like there is an invisible cord tethering us together, both pulling us and binding us as one. I see the look of amazement in his eyes, and I know mine reflects the same. I can see myself in his eyes. His beautiful blue orbs seem to glow and sparkle. It's like nothing I've ever seen before.He touches my face, “Your eyes glow like peridot.”I smile, “Yours glow like someone put a lightbulb in the depths of the ocean.” We gaze at one another. He touches m

  • Eternally Bound to My Mates   The Walk

    He takes my hand and leads me outside. Under the moonlight, we walk into the woods. It should be near morning, but the moon still lingers. We come to the bank of a secluded lake. The moon reflects on the water, lighting up the lily pads and their flowers. On the fragrant flowers are butterflies.It is extremely beautiful. It reminds me of the night I was sitting on a dock, dangling my feet in the water. This poem just infiltrated my mind, so I decided to share it with Vincent. “I go into the night. Seeking someone to hear my plight. I feel the world closing in around me. I leave behind the rest of humanity.I walk further into the night. Leaving everything behind to make me feel alright. I find myself heading out to the place where no one speaks. As I halt within the night, I scan the trees around me. I crouched down and felt the earth pulsing under my hand.There is a power here that I wish to understand. As I wait within the night, I send my senses outward. I feel the life
