Story Written By AUTHORESS EBUN CHAPTER 1 My heart was beating a million miles a minute as I watched the scene being played out before me. The sight I was beholding was terrifyingly dark and wicked. My palms were sweating profusely and I trembled uncontrollably, biting on my lip to try to calm …
Chapter 2 . “Vivi, what have you done?” “I haven’t done anything!” “Why is there a human girl in the back seat then?” “What girl?” “Vivi!” “Stop calling me that!” “Answer me!” My head pounded uncomfortably as voices filled my ears. I clenched my jaw in …
Chapter 3 The interior of the building was just as stunning as the exterior. The ceilings were high and painted white. Stained glassed windows littered the maroon wallpapered halls, and chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting a yellow glow upon everything it could. We entered what I assumed to be a living room because …
Chapter 4 . My mind raced as Vincent, Joel, Sebastian, and I made our way down the halls in search of Sebastian and Vincent’s parents. They were royalty? I was about to meet the king and queen of the vampire world? My mind felt like it was going to explode. Never in my …
Chapter 5 ♀ My comforter was the perfect temperature when I woke in the morning. I kept my eyes closed for a few moments, enjoying the perfect warmth. It felt like I had slept forever, and my alarm clock still hadn’t gone off. My hand slithered out of the comforter, reaching for my …
Chapter 6 ♀ Father!” Vincent called, stepping into the lounge. Joel pushed me in after him, shutting the door behind us. My gaze swept across the room. A gigantic fireplace that held a blazing fire was against the furthest wall, and around it were a few rouge, Victorian styled chairs. On either …
Chapter 7 What do you want to eat?” “I get to choose?” “Not if you don’t answer me within the next ten seconds.” I blanked at Vincent, trying desperately to think of something I wanted to eat. Nothing was coming to mind. “Um, chicken?” I finally asked, more than said. Vincent …
Chapter 8 ly? Emily? Emily, wake up.” My eyes snapped open when I heard my name being called. Disgruntled, I sat up too quickly, sending my head reeling. A soft chuckled erupted from the person hovering above me and I found myself staring into a pair of brilliant emerald eyes. “Good morning Sleeping …
Chapter 9 Joel? Joel? Where are you?” I called, meandering mindlessly through the labyrinth of hallways in the Rutherford manor. “This isn’t funny anymore!” The only sounds that could be heard were my own footfalls as I continued to search for the vampire who was supposed to be showing me around …
Chapter 10 ♀ what do you do if you see anyone?” “Duck and run.” Samuel nodded approvingly. “Very good. What if they chase after you?” I hesitated. “Stop and make up an excuse?” “Wrong,” Vincent responded, turning around to look at me. “Keeping running.” “But that will make it …
Chapter 11 Morning sleepyhead,” Sebastian greeted as I trudged into the kitchen the next morning. “You look like death. Did the storm keep you up?” My eyes shot to Vincent, who was at the table already, eating a plate of scrambled eggs. “A little bit,” I murmured, dropping my gaze. Sebastian chuckled. …
Chapter 12 ♀ Fiona!” Joel hissed, looking alarmed. Fiona looked at him, looking confused. “What?” “You aren’t supposed to tell her!” “Why not?” He sent me apologetic look. “Nothing against you, Em, but Fiona, she’s human. She’s not part of the immediate family. No one is supposed to know …
Chapter 13 ♀ Seeing Vincent get yelled at by his father was one of the most horrifying and most amusing things ever. On one hand the King was a force to be reckoned with, while on the other, watching Vincent be scolded by him was worth it. Fortunately or unfortunately the worst of …
Chapter 14 The sound of something heavy clattering to floor jolted me from my slumber. My eyes snapped and searched around, trying to locate the source of the clamor. The first thing I noticed was that I was in my temporary room. The second thing was Sebastian, giving me a sheepish look. He held …
Chapter 15 ♀ My shoulder ached uncomfortably as I sat on the couch, watching the rest of The Brothers Grimm- Sebastian’s choice. After growing bored of playing videogames, he’d popped in the movie, claiming it was his favorite. Now he was currently dead asleep, his head against my shoulder, his angular jaw pressing …
Chapter 16 ♀ An explosive crack of thunder sent me jolting awake. My eyes were wide and alert as I glanced around the room wildly, confused. When lightning flashed by my window I jumped, my heart leaping into my throat. Immediately my gaze went to my bedside, but Vincent wasn’t there. …
Chapter 17 ♀ Emily?” “She’s sleeping.” “She needs to wake up.” “Just let her sleep,” a familiar voice growled. There was a soft sigh. “She’s already awake. Emily, open your eyes,” another familiar voice commended softly and I felt a hand shaking my shoulder. “Come on.” “What?” I groaned, …
Chapter 18 ♀ Being back in the human world was a bizarre change. Where the Rutherford Manor was- in their magical barricade, or whatever – it seemed to be always raining and gloomy. As soon as you stepped out of it (emerged from the woods, more like) the sun was shining brightly. Vincent, …
Chapter 19 ♀ could tell at once my dad didn’t like Vincent. The moment he entered the house, he dodged my hug, opting to head straight for Vincent. They both sized each other up for a few minutes before my dad faked a punch. Well, I didn’t know he was going to fake …
Chapter 20 ♀ Are you sure you can do this?” “I’m sure.” “Are you positive?” “I’m positive.” “Are you sure you—” “I’m sure! ” Vincent growled, whipping his head around to glare at me. “Stop asking the same damn thing over and over again!” I blinked at his sudden …
