She shrugged, a little awkwardly. I smiled back, wanting to put her at ease. “Thank you, Sie. I really appreciate it.” We flicked through some new books and papers while we waited for the pizza to arrive. They were all much the same – long, winding documentation of vampire sightings from the Victorian era, many of which were clearly allegories for something else, like impudent women or the fear of industrialisation.

“Of the White Coven. I have lived for over 3,000 years, and I have been with this coven for 800 of them.” “Why am I here?” “Vampire covens and races are always at war. They are very territorial. Unfortunately, you stumbled right into the middle of it.” “What do you mean?” she asked. “How?” He looked at her, confused. “Don’t you remember?” She stared back, blankly. “Your kill. It ignited all of this.” “Kill?” He slowly shook his head. “So, you don’t remember. Typical. First kills are always that way.” He looked her in the eye. “You killed someone last night. A human. You fed on him. In Carnegie Hall.”

Memories of Rush and Nightshade exterminating the wolves and, after that, every manner of supernatural species. I looked into his eyes as I dissolved the mind link but held my hands tightly to the sides of his head as my eyes flared. "Ex potestate maleficarum tui homicidii, per hoc removeo potestates tuas et te excommunicam de ostio maleficarum!"

Mom warned, and I agreed. "Of course, Mother. Our health is more important." We finish our lunch without speaking. The only sounds you'll hear are those of the utensils and our plate. I still can’t forget the creature who invaded my privacy. I don’t want to conclude but there are only three creatures in my mind. Vampire, Goddess, Fairy. But what I am confused about is why can’t I smell its fragrance. My nose can smell and distinguish it but how did it happen? What kind of sorcery is that?

I took my time reading, and another hour went by. On finishing the third book, I realised I hadn’t read them in the right order. It seemed Finding the One was the first book, followed by The Claiming Rites, and then Under the Red Moon. This was a trilogy that needed to be read in the right order. I stared closely at the books and found the numbers on them written on each book from one to three, just like I arranged them. These numbers were written on the drawn-out full moon on the bottle right of the book’s front page, and, being set beside each other in the formal order, the full moon glowed.

That wolf was dead now, along with the entire eastern pack. His anger built with the memories of the battle. He became so lost in thought that the imagined smell of smoke made his eyes burn. The plane landing. A vampire subduing him. The last terrible images of his pack. Vampires and cats slaughtering everyone. Franklin, the vampire leader of his pack and his best friend, torn to pieces. The screaming of she-wolves as the children died. Those same she-wolves torn limb from limb shortly after. He remembered everything, the graphic details imprinted on his brain forever. Now he had a chance to exact his own revenge and something to live for.

I will give him more than he bargains for. I go to my new home, a plain suburban affair. It is furnished. Quickly, not breaking a sweat, I move most of the furniture into the garage. Then I retire to the master bedroom, draw all the shades, and lie down on the hard wooden floor and close my eyes. The sun has drained my strength, I tell myself. But as I doze off I know it is also the people I have met this day that have cut deep into me, where my iron blood flows like a black river over the cold dust of forgotten ages, dripping onto this green world, onto the present, like the curse of the Lord himself. I hope to dream of Krishna as I fall asleep, but I do not. The devil is there instead. Yak

Her heart pounding madly, she began to decode it all. It began to dawn on her that this was not meant to be an entire book. It was meant to be one word per page, meant to spell out but a few sentences. A key. A code. A message, for the initiated. Meant only for the one who knew how to look. Caitlin checked off the words as she turned page after page, and she remembered them, and in her mind, sentences began to form: The last vampire will arise after 2,000 years have passed. She will rise across the ocean and will be named for the color of blood. To enter the city, one needs a key. And the key can only be found here.

The most toxic of all metals for vampires. He looked past them, and saw additional layers of bars behind them. He had no doubt now that the savage seven were being kept here. Kyle heard a faint rumbling noise. As he leaned in, suddenly a long, yellow claw reached out of the blackness, towards the bars. This was followed by a hideous face, with long, orange fangs, drooling. He could smell its rotten breath, even from here. Ancient, primordial creatures, the savage seven were too hideous too look at, even for Kyle, and he had to turn away. For a moment, he felt relieved that they were locked up, and he second-guessed releasing them.

During that time, it was a norm that the predecessor of the throne would be the one to pick his successor or if not, the strongest and fastest vampire during the period would be appointed as emperor. As at that time, Emperor Don Devon Blackstone at age 845, was immensely ill, —dying and needed a successor to guide the people. There was no better option than his son, the strongest and fastest vampire then but the other vampires didn't want Russell Blackstone as their ruler. They hatched a plan to completely take him out of the picture. They killed him in the most horrible way you ever kill a vampire. With a wooden stake through his heart, a bowl of anointed water mixed with acid was poured ov
