Chapter 20ClaraI woke up in a bed that was not mine. I felt good, like I have never felt before. There was a bandage on my head and over where I remember Matthew stabbed me, but I felt no pain. I felt perfectly fine. I looked around and discovered that I was in Nicholas's room. How did I get here? Just then the door opened and Nicholas stepped in. He looked exhausted but as handsome as always. I had so many questions to ask him but I planned on asking them one at a time. "Hello baby, how are you feeling?" He asked, sitting down beside me. "Perfectly alright," I told him. "It must be the vampire blood working, you almost died and I had to do what I vowed never to do," he said. "And what's that?" I asked. "Give you my blood, with my blood now in your system you would become a vampire if you ever died, and I don't want you to be like me," he said. I knew he was being serious. I have never imagined myself as a vampire but I didn't want to do that now. I didn't know if I would b
Chapter 21NicholasAs we walked to see every one, hand in hand, there was a certain kind of peace that I felt. This was my woman and I was proud to call her mine. I was proud to show her to the world and the first people who could get that privilege were my family. When I brought her in yesterday every single one of them were on edge. I got to find out that nobody knew of Matthew's intentions to do something so drastic, so terrible. Sure, Henry knew when he went out but he didn't know that he was going out with the intentions of murdering Clara. But I was afraid that even if he had known he wouldn't have done much to stop him. Matthew was a very powerful vampire, much older than Henry for sure, but he wasn't the head of the family, even though he wanted to. Henry could be ruthless sometimes but he had the qualities of a leader and he was the one that turned most of us. The family was already gathered in the sitting room, waiting for us. "Oh dear, you gave me a heart attack, I'm
Chapter 1Clara's POV "Why do I have to go with you to this party again" I asked for the 5th time. "Oh darling, I'm doing this for you!" Lydia groaned."How?!" I exclaimed. Here I was, almost freezing to death, walking to a strange party in the middle of the night, when I had a mountain of books to read and a ton of assignments to do! Sorry but I could not for the life of me see how any of this was for my benefit. It was supposed to be a short stroll to the venue, but it was so cold outside that it felt like I've been walking since eternity. Don't get me wrong, I love my roommate….. sometimes, and right now tonight wasn't part of those times. "You can't fall in love with your books Clara" she replied. "Well that's exactly what I have been doing so far and it has been quite alright," I informed her."Quit alright shouldn't be enough! You have to actually go out and meet someone, a living breathing being!" She groaned."That's why I have you darling" I pointed out."Not me dummy,
Chapter 2 Nicholas's POV The moment she stepped into the house I could not help but notice her. I was drawn to her with a force I have never experienced in my 200 years of existence, even though I did not look a day older than 23, thanks to being a vampire. The party had been fun, not as fun as expected, somehow I was not at the top of my game tonight. I've flirted with a few girls whom thanks to my vampire aura and might I add my irresistible looks, were practically falling all over me. The strange thing though was that I didn't even care like I used to. Something in me felt numb, making me almost regretting that I allowed Hunter, my only human friend, to throw this party.However from the moment I saw the gorgeous brunette in her pretty shirt and her crazy looking friend, I thanked my stars. I stood upstairs as usual and from this point I had a perfect view of my mansion and everything that was going on. Plus I could hear every single thing happening but at nights like this I
Chapter 3Clara's POV"How dare he!" I groaned, "do I look like a joke to him?!" I screamed at Lydia. She seemed a little bit shocked, I was not the screaming type, but she was way too drunk to understand a word I said. She was in a world of her own entirely. I had to drag her out of the party with me. Firstly because I could not just leave her on her own, secondly because the dude she was with looked way too suspicious to be trusted with my roommate. So here we were, walking back to our apartment. Thankfully we were staying outside the university campus. I could not bear all these if I might have to face being scolded by any hostel warden. My mind swayed back and forth between getting my completely drunk roommate home safely and the dude who saved me, Nicholas Young. He had such a unique name and a memorable one at that, but it was his personality that was unforgettable. When it was just the two of us in that balcony I felt like I was home, but he was so remarkably handsome th
Chapter 4Clara.I'm sure I would have fainted if that was my thing, but no, I was as strong headed as they come. However there are some things that should not be discovered or discussed while standing and I felt like my legs would not support me for long if I just stood there."I need to sit down," I told him. "Oh my! Of course, follow me," he said.Then he led me to the sitting room and it looked so beautiful. One would not imagine that just a few hours ago it was full to the brim with hormone driven party mongers and alcohol in every corner.One look around and I could tell that everything here screamed expensive. From the softest sofa I have ever sat on to the beautiful curtains and vintage work of art here and there. I knew a thing or two about old stuff, even though Lydia continuously teased me about it every chance she had. Nicholas called this his home, could this all really belong to him? Now I understand why he could wear socks to the party. It was probably just another
Chapter 5Nicholas"I came to see my son but I can see that you have company," he said, referring to Clara. Trust my dad to make a famous entrance like this. The one and only Henry Young always making life a living hell for me. I mean he already stole my soul and he is bent on stealing any chance of happiness I could have, still I called him dad.Henry was not my biological father, truth be told none of my family was actually related to me by blood. We all came together as one just because we had one thing in common and that is the fact that we are all vampires. He was the man that made me a vampire and I pretty much learnt everything I know about this world from him. Oh how I loathe him so much for what he turned me into, this blood sucking beast with no mercy, no real emotion, no compassion. Even though he did what he did out of some twisted compassion to save my life, still, I hated him."Why didn't you tell me you were coming? You know the rules!," I reminded him. "Yes I know
