Blake & Nora's P.O.V
"What exactly are we doing here?' Nora asked Blake as she sat beside him over looking the road. It was a cold and chilly night and Nora wore a light blue sweatshirt over a tank top and blue jeans that nearly blended in with the night. Her silver hair was tied securely in a ponytail while stranded hung on her forehead. Blake on the other hand, had on a much more lighter attire which made it so that the cold air hit him. It's not like the weather bothers us but me being once human myself, it felt comfortable and right to wear cloths that felt normal. Nora didn't want to dwell on the past and instead took Blake's hand into hers, drawing his attention to her for a brief moment.
"What's the matter?" He asked and reached to brush strands of those loose hairs off of Nora's forehead then running a finger along her cheek tenderly.
Just before Nora could respond. They heard tires screech down below and the sound of a car going off road while the horn of the one driver that got driven off the road blared loudly. "Don't tell me you brought me out here just for this Blake." she finally said completely forgetting about his question from earlier. "Marcus will have a fit if you bring this person in to be saved." The anger she felt bubbled like a cauldron and she instantly got to her feet.
"I really doubt it," Blake said as he too got his feet while placing a gently hand on her shoulder. "Marcus knows full well that this is what I do."
"I understand that this is what you do," Nora said as she turned to look down below them at the accident that just occurred before them. "But why must you bring me along every time?" She asked him, sounding more upset that normal.
"Calm down," Blake said gently as if he didn't want to upset her anymore than usual. His gaze was nothing but gentle and he continued, "If it comes down to this being the last person I save just to make you happy, I will stop."
"Do you promise?" Nora said with a half smile. Blake nodded and with that they both turned to go help the person down below.
The car was damaged beyond repair. The driver, whom was a female was slightly unconscious. There was blood pooling from the wounds on her head and side. The smell of it made Nora's fangs poke through her gums and as hard as she tried, she couldn't make them retract. She was as new to being a vampire as all the other ones that Blake saved before her.After Marcus and him made the decision to send them to the clan that they were banned from, Blake chose to keep her with him. Nora learned over time how to control her instincts but sometimes when the call for blood was strong she couldn't help herself and the beast lurked just below the surface waiting to be let out.
"You alright?" She heard Blake's voice and that was all she needed to tame herself. Nora's fangs went back into her gums and she was able to focus on the situation at hand. She nodded and went around to the driver side of the vehicle and went down to peer at the woman.
"We are going to get you out of here." She said. "What's your name?" Nora asked her and a weak reply responded.
"Emery." She sounded young, maybe in her late twenties. She had long light brown hair and it was strewn everywhere from the accident.
"Alright Emery," Nora said. "Try to stay awake while we get you out of the car."
"Okay." Was all Nora heard before she looked at Blake and she said. "She's lost a lot of blood."
"After we get her out of here we are taking her to Marcus." Blake said instantly as he flipped the care onto its' wheels and then tearing off the top and front end of the car, releasing Emery from the dented part of the steering wheel.
"What are we going to do about this pole?" The metal was pretty deep into Emery's side and it leaked of even more blood slowly.
"Leave it for now." Blake responded. "If we try to take it out ourselves she will be gone before we get her home." Blake lifted the girl into his arms and both him and Nora raced to the small cabin the resided in the woods.
Marcus Wilder's P.O.VI sat on the water edge of the lake thatsatbehind my small cabin. The waves rippled with the wind and the sun had begun to set behind the pine trees casting rays on the ground. At this hour vampires were allowed to come out to enjoy it while it set in the horizon, giving them the longing of being human once again. In those moments, however, I too enjoyed it as well. I longed to be able to go out in the sunlight, to run wild like never before and to see some girl that I had feelings for, radiatein the sun but I knew from years pasts that in a way, it would never happen. Humans aged compared to vampires. We never get old. Always staying the same after we turned. It takes centuries for one to tame their instinct to attack anyone with a vein. I, However was entirelydifferent, scientists found a way to make vampires. More so pure bloods and I was one of them. A genuspig for their tests. Of course I don't remember much of
Emery & Marcus' P.O.VI regained conscious enough to open my eyes weakly and noticed that i was no longer in the wreckage. I still heard the same familiar voices that had gotten me out of there instead of leaving me there to die. "Where....." I heard my own voice, raspy and raw from thirst. I saw the girl with the silver like hair turn and then look at the man standing on the opposite side of the room, slowly I turned my head carefully so that I wouldn't cause any dizziness, to look at the man standing next to me. I wasn't in the hospital like I thought I would be but took in what my vision could see. Wooden walls, a side table that had flowers on the top, and the feeling of being on a table which felt metal beneath my fingertips."Don't move," I heard the mans voice say in a demanding tone. I was too weak to argue. "You were hurt pretty badly in the crash." He pointed out as he directed my attention to the pole that stuck out of my side. Oddly
Marcus’ P.O.VI felt the leap of my heart in my chest. Emery was a very strong woman who wanted another shot at living, only from a different perspective that our kind provided. The only difference was the overwhelming crave for blood that every fledgling went through in their first three years of turning. Many beforehand learned how to tame it with proper training and skills. Since I was created into being a purebred, I learned quickly to tamper mine. Emery however was willing to go the lengths to have another life outside of being human. Apart of myself was going to explain that this life was different compared to her mundane life at some point but until then she was going to have to adjust and learn.“We don’t have much time before heading to our sleeping chambers.” Blake snapped me out of my thoughts and I shook my head to clear it. “The quicker the better.” He added with a slight tone of amusement. His hair shimmered
With Emery’s consent I put enough force behind my bite to pierce her flesh. I felt her wince but she knew that this needed to be done. Her blood filled my mouth and to be honest with myself it tasted oddly good. It was sweet and slightly coppery but it was the essence of all our kind in order to continue living. When I was forced into this existence, I swore to myself that I would only hunt on animals and back then I was part of a clan that knew only power and hatred. When one of the members turned a human without their consent, they pointed fingers at me and my friends for the blame. In turn the leader banned us to never return. I closed my eyes to distract myself from the past and swore I saw Emery’s memories. Her as a little girl, twirling around in a Cinderella dress for Halloween. Her as a teen, making plans for college in high school and what she wanted to be when she was finished. I held back a slight chuckle at the thought of her being a Disney princess for
One Month Later….My red hair which was brown a month ago swayed in the breeze. The crisp air was strong in my nostrils . My newfound life was not like it used to be. Before I was human and had a shorter life span than I do now. Why was it so different? I looked back at the moment that Marcus’ blood had changed me. I was trapped in my head for the longest time, remembering what I had suppressed when I was six years old. I’ve been a vampire for over a month and I still didn’t understand how everything works. My hearing, my eyesight, and even the simple thing as speed. Marcus was teaching me how to tame the crave for blood but every now and then I found it complicated to focus on small tasks like I had before the crash. It was a headache and I had promised to try harder to control the urges that always seems to want to consume me.“It will take time and practice before your able to fully control the blood lust that our kind has.
The pain had subsided and I was able to open my eyes. At first, everything was blurry from being out for a long period of time. I saw a woman’s face looking at me worriedly. She had silver like hair and eyes that saw through you. Not like I could care at the moment. I was awake and that is all that mattered. The room that I was in was dark, the curtains drawn shut, and a dim light was casting shadows in every direction. My sight on the other hand seemed different, my hearing enhanced, and a heartbeat. My head snapped toward the sound and saw a mouse moving alongside the crevice of the nearby wall. I drew my attention away from the tiny creature and back at the woman. “Where am I?” My voice was raw from not speaking and my throat was parched from the lack of water.“Your awake.” The woman said excitedly. I peeked at her once more before glancing down at my clothes which was stained with blood. “I’ll inform Marcus that your
I turned the shower on, allowing the water run for a bit so that way it could heat up. I loved showers because of how it made you feel afterward. Clean and refreshed. It was also my way of escaping reality when I had a long day at work or just to relax. I put my hand underneath the spay to feel it. It was hot enough to burn the skin but that was how I liked it. It helped my bones melt and and just enjoy the feeling of being alive. I was different. I felt it in the very depths of my soul. I wasn’t the mundane Emery anymore. My stomach ached all of a sudden and I clutched my abdomen as if that would relieve the pain but it didn’t. I turned quickly to the sink and hurled. Blood coming up from my throat, it tasted coppery, raw, and good but also food that I had ingested yesterday afternoon before all this happened. Chunks of whatever I ate was combined with it.The bathroom door opened and in came Nora as if she knew what was going on. “Are you alright?&rd
*Castle of Shadows*Sarene DeMarcoI leaned my hip against the grand marble windowsill overlooking the night veranda deep in thought. I had dawned my sleep wear for the day ahead. It was near midnight but she wasn’t ready for sleep. Our people were able to experience the sun from over the horizon and that was it before it peaked fully in the sky but in doing so had its’ effects. It slowed our ability to function. Our thoughts always a mess and vision blurs. In my opinion it sucked. The sun begins to rise around six o’clock in the morning which in itself five o’clock horizon. I was leader our people and as such I felt the urge to disband the position of my second in command, Gabriel Hues. At times he was a ruthless warrior who always sought out that he got his ways. I hated it more than my own people did. Of course, knowing Gabriel, I had a sense that he’d attempt to replace me by sending Rogues to destroy me. I feared when that day c
