Chapter Thirty- One: The Loyalty of the Pitiful.

“Aren’t you worried about his silence?” Vincent asked. He had finally finished hiding away daggers in his uniform, so he now gave me his full attention, only I did not want it. I wanted to stare at the beautiful scenery as it passed me by instead. Nonetheless, I turned to meet his gaze.“His silence?” I frowned questioningly.-Was I to assume that there was someone we gossiped about together randomly?-“Your fiancé? Kassian?” he clarified, and I sighed then nodded.

Chapter Thirty-Two: What Do You See?

The carriage made its way to a sharp ascent. It paused a little as we bypassed the gate traffic where they confirmed my identity before granting us passage. From the gate to the beautifully illuminated castle, the road had been made by red bricks.Our carriage slowed down to follow the drop off traffic, and Vincent cleared his throat, breaking the tense silence that had filled the carriage since the ‘bridge’ incident.“We’ll be passing by the town during the return trip, any objections?” I asked as I prepared myself to leave the carriage.“None, my lady.”

Chapter Thirty-Three: Irrationality And Racism.

“My girls and I have heard so much about your cousins from the capital. I hear that they are all quite dashing and that one of them is even searching for a bride?” She continued. “I heard that they will be present during the official ball in the spring.”-Gods, they knew more about Vivanna’s family than I did. -“I see,” I said then sighed.Despite all the visible social cues of disinterest that I showed the woman, she continued talking. Her daughters fidgeted awkwardly, and I cleared my throat.“What do you think, Sharon?” I asked

Chapter Thirty-Four: Trust and Benefits.

The Marquis left, and the beautiful red-haired woman on the other side of the door did not cease beckoning me.“Marquess, Elizabeth,” I announced her title stiffly, then continued. “I’d rather not enter.”“Marquess? Me? Oh honey, what did I do wrong? You call me Liza! Please, call me Liza?” the older woman pouted. “Or did I actually offend you in some way?”She did not look that much older than Vivanna, perhaps, only by a few years. Liza looked as though she was in her early or mid-thirties, but with vampires who could tell. More importantly, Vivanna had friends?The Marquess pulled the heavy looking double doors inside the room. This act revealed the fullness of her beautiful gown. She had on a strapless red gown. The bodice was embroidered in gold while the skirt was bouffant, layered in multiple lace fabric. Both the matching set glittered, but it was more that the accessories reacted with the light

Chapter Thirty-Five: Portburgh Buzz Buzz Buzzz...

“A mascarade ball?” I repeated puzzled.-Am I creating a new chain event or was Vivanna just never verbally invited to parties?- “Yes! It will be so fun!! Adults only and we will all be in disguises so…scandal!” she gushed.“Ahem,” Charlette cleared her throat loudly, and I chuckled.The Marquess was, well fun. Which I had to say was unexpected.“What? I can’t exactly throw a tea party, now can I?” The Marquess defended then tapped at her fangs.“People also thought that you shouldn't dye your hair, but you sure showed them,” Charlette added sarcastically.“Hey! I’ll have you know, white hair only spells potential, and it dyes so ‘fucking’ good.” She mouthed the curse word at me but enunciated everything else.“Whatever, Updo or…?” Charlette turned to her mother.“Hmm, I like your neck. It

Chapter Thirty-Six: Infestations and Conspiracies.

The Marquess fell silent then gazed at my frame, then to the ground.-Why was it so important for Vivanna to ‘get over things??’ why couldn’t we just ignore things until they went away? I am not Vivanna, so I don’t have to deal with her memories. I am already stuck with her life! I clearly need to draw a line somewhere!-“I’m sorry, I just…” The Marquess began breaking the silence.“Can’t you just assume that I've let things go? I don’t want to go there. Ever!” I said, in a harsher tone than I had anticipated.“I know, I'm sorry.” She placed her hand on mine. “But I just want you to know that if you do want to go ‘there’, I’ll be right here.”-She…she isn’t listening to me.- -Well, whatever. We probably won't meet again.-“How long till the hypnotism wears off?” I asked Charlette, who was fa

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Fun Ones Are Always Petty.

“I'm done!” the young girl chirped startling both of us.“Beautiful!” the Marquess chirped a little too enthusiastically, disrupting the air of mystery that had formed around us.“I-,”The Marquess placed a finger on her lips.“That will give us something to discuss during the mascaraed ball, don’t you think?”-Son of a bitch!!--Still, maybe if we could find this mage…I can get to the bottom of what is responsible for my presence here and maybe find my way back home.-“Aunt Viva! Aunt Viva! How do I look?” the girl twirled, showcasing her beautifully done hair and dress.Her hair looked wonderful, her updo simple with her long white hair twirled at its ends. She had a golden necklace on that drew one’s gaze to her neck and diamond stud earrings, with a golden lining that glittered matching her dress, while the diamond her hair.-She is really

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Blue Ball…s?

A few hours before the ball“Is..aak.” Vivanna moaned his name, as he felt her tight walls twitch around his hard shaft, and he couldn’t help but release himself into her as she cradled his neck in her arms, as though she was promising to shield him from the world, and he was lost.Wholly and utterly undone, enchanted by whatever sorcery she had used on him.Her body fell heavily against him, and a crippling sense of regret coiled its way up to his belly.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Testing...Testing...Is This Thing On?

I sipped my newly refilled cool drink as I walked out of the dim hallway.“My lady,” Vincent called. He was the first person I spotted in the busy ballroom filled with mingling couples, but perhaps that was because he stood close to the hallway that I was set to emerge from. I know that that was just a minor detail, but I found myself smiling at him, it felt nice having a knight or rather, to have someone wait on me.I couldn’t tell if it was the wine that had elevated my mood or the lively conversation; either way, the first thing I did was tease him.“You said to only stay away from Bryant and Dominic, you never mentioned that you were incapable of handling the Marquis,” I said, crossing my arms playfully over the fabric of my dress. The feel of the smooth fabric rubbing against my skin exhilarated me, because, with every movement, the dress clung to my curves, reminding me of fun nights out

Chapter Forty: Don't Do Drugs Kids, You'll Wake Up In Your Favourite Book.

When the room had settled, and there were fewer eyes on us, Vincent and I began our inconspicuous shuffle to the end of the hall. There was an isolated spot that led to an even more isolated and well-lit balcony.“There,” I whispered to him, pointing the lucky balcony and we began marching towards it. Vincent lifted the heavy black curtains with cursive golden patterns that covered the glass balcony door for the both of us and as soon as he did, the bright balcony light exposed our position, due to the differences in lighting in the two rooms. Still, it was only for a brief second as we snuck out into the cold night.
