Poke! Poke! Poke! Poke! I groanedPoke again. This insufferable woman just won't take a hint. Dammit! "When are you going to stop touching me and go away?" I mumbled frustrated with the vampire that didn't seem to get the gist that I had no interest in paying her even a dime of attention. She feigned hurt at my words, forcing me to roll my eyes. Ever since our last conversation she had me following pee pee, cluck cluck behind her every move like some body guard, or doing the most ridiculous things like only moments ago. I counted a total of twenty stores, minus the shoes ones we entered, all of which she had to get something from. All of which were antique that seemed to be ripped for an century old news paper drawing. She didn't need me for this and the witch knew it. But she was a creature of the night and misery, especially mine seem to fuel her energy. I couldn't wait to be rid of the lot of them once and for all. "I'm starting to think you don't like me Thomas, aren't

I grabbed the bag a little tighter, attempting not to change my mind. Emotions weren't supposed to be forced. I was supposed to like her. I did find a few qualities of hers to be attractive. Belle was a beautiful woman. If she hadn't been given to me, I was sure she might have been engaged to a proper suitor by now. Weeks had passed after our argument in my study, we've oft met on the staircase going our separate ways, the look of boredom becoming more prominent in her eyes everyday. Apart from the constant teasing from my brother, no one else spoke with her. Not even me. I didn't think I'd end up avoiding her, in my eyes she was nothing more than a human, the small possession of exchange between our races to keep my agreement in check. I hadn't thought about her feelings or what she would have wanted. I didn't expect that she would have liked us in any way. In the last few days, she hasn't left her room, nor ventured near the garden. The idea slightly disturbed me. Knowing she was u

I'm not sure how many days have gone by since I've been here. The sun moves, going around like a clock, rising and setting with me at the same place, in the same position. I'm lonely, distraught and terrified. I want to leave. I want Thomas to find me, but I'm trapped. I'm trapped in a room he'll never find, surrounded by monster he'll never have a chance of surviving with. Was Thomas still looking for me anymore? How long has it been since I was here?I barely ate. Too afraid they'll poison it. The girl that attacked me never came back. My food was always left outside my door in the mornings followed by the stupid bucket and mop. I cleaned to keep my mind busy. My hand reached up touching the stupid cloth on my face. I really hated it, but the fear of Hades walking in and seeing me without it, kept it there. I didn't want him to punish me. I was just tired. My ears perked up hearing loud screams. Something I wasn't accustomed to. Normally the estate was so quiet, you'd hear a pi

My falling literally felt like forever and in some way, a part of me was okay with dying. I knew I wouldn't last long here. Not on my own and certainly not with the new developments that have occurred over the last few days. Finally my body hit the floor with a thud. "You idiot!" I screamed. "You fell from one stair to the floor," He states in a monotonous tone. "It's less than ideal punishment for what you did just now. " "I could have died!" "If only I would be given that escape," he mutters, reminding me that my presence to him was an inconvenience. His footsteps began to receed from my body before they paused. "Maid, get her something to eat and Victoria, "I stood bushing the dust from my clothes then turning to my bruised elbow cursing under my breath. "I'll see you much later. "I scrunched up my nose creeped out about his choice of words. Isn't that something you say when you're intimate with someone? Or at least close? "Go to hell!" Was my response before his steps

The moment I heard Hades voice, I panicked. It was only the strength of some supernatural force that held me together and not have me crumbled like powerder dust into the floor. I knew Hades was posses that I deviated from the path that I should have taken, but I dont regret it as much as hoe I am terrified of him. Finally being able to see and hear and feel thomas was worth it. If only I could convince my skittering heart the same notion. Keep your eyes grounded, keep your eyes grounded, I kept repeating to myself, through it did nothing to calm my heart that was was riocheting across my chest walls. I was panting standing there, terrified of what would happen now. Slowly I lifted my eyes to Thomas, watching him seethe. He was angry. So very angry. But I couldn't live with knowing Aiden would harm him because of me. Thomas eyes shifted to meet mine momentarily and discreetly I shook my head telling him not to try anything rash. This wasn't like the woman he spoke with that day, Aide
