In one rather less than spectacular showdown between Cass and Breyden, we are left to leave without what we have come here for. The question now begs, what will be Breyden's next move? Shall he stay in New York now that he knows that we are here, or shall he move on to another city? Well, the Breyden I know shall do both. We are hoping that he shall remain where he feels the most at home and will continue to heal Lilith.From what I had sensed, she is still very much in pain. I do not believe that her wounds are healed, let alone that they are very close to being healed either. Breyden has, until thus far, unsuccessfully healed her the natural Vampire way. But also taken, depending on how accurate Ethan's information is, Breyden has only taken one human so far. This means that Lilith's life is still very much in danger, and she is soon running out of her options to remain alive.Now remain alive is one thing that we are set to do ourselves at the present moment. It has

Slowly my eyes flicker open as I am being forced out of the van. I stumble in what is just mud at my feet, with rain pounding down onto my skin. With much force, they drag me to an entrance; the door slowly creaks open, and I can smell something that has been rotten in here for days.Just as we step through the door of what seems like an old basement, everything goes black…I wake up.My head is pounding.It is throbbing.But before I can even think of opening my eyes, there is a blow to my head."Goddammit!" My voice echoes to the corners of the basement, bouncing back off the walls.Then next, there is another blow to my head.I am out.Then I wake up again. I shake my head and soon become aware of my surroundings. I have a blindfold on, tied on a bit too tightly. I am tied to what feels like a pole; it is cold and smooth to the touch. My feet are tied to the chair that I am sitting on, which is probably tied to

I can safely say by now that all the bad choices I have made in my past as a young Vampire will, in one way or the other, come back to haunt me. Now dare I even say how many of those there are that can still find their way to my doorstep, but that is not the concern for today. Right now, I have Vladamir and Lenora set on getting their revenge over me. So as I wake up again, "Can you not stand any closer to me?"Lenora gets one godawful smile on her face as she is now running that grabby little hand through my hair, "You can be glad that I am not sitting on your lap.""My dear, you will have a better chance of getting a hard-on than me.She gestures to Vladamir, and he smashes his fist into my face.I only but burst out in a rumble of laughter, "I see you playing hard now?""Well, soft did not work," Lenora says."What are you going to do? Punch the shit out of me and hope I fall in love with you whoring ass?"She nods at

…Anastasia POV…As I step out into the doorway to the entrance of the room, there is a rather attractive red head in noting but tight black leather in front of me. The moment she lays her eyes on a naked Sebastian, her eyes grow wide with a smile that is too uncomfortable for my liking.Then as I look back at Sebastian, he only but mumbles for me not to move. By the look on his face, I can see that he knows who this woman is. And taking for the lust in her eyes, I have a fairly good idea that this is one of those whores that has come back from his past to haunt us.And haunting, she does as she does not take her eyes off Sebastian for a moment. She studies him so closely that it is driving a dagger into my heart, just knowing what has happened between them behind the closed doors that only he and I are now supposed to share.To say that I am not feverishly mad shall be an understatement. So I am going to assume that she has been scorned by h

It is in anticipation that we all turn to Edward that has a look of utter fear written across a face that seems to have the blood of someone smeared all over his face.Now, if that alone does not scare every single being in the room, then what he says next does terrify every bone in my body."They are everywhere," Edward stutters as he tries to express what the situation is downstairs. "They came bursting through windows and piling through the door."And as his words set that terror in me, I look at him with concern on a very troubled face, "Roberto?""He and the Angel are trying to hold them off, but we are fast losing the battle. You need to come immediately."With absolute haste, Connor and Ethan dashes towards the stairs; while racing down, Connor, from under a strained breath, turns to Edward, "Please tell me that it is not Bloodlust Vampires?"Edward only but cocks his head and grows a very worrying smile on his face, "I am afraid they
