Silas’s Point of ViewI decided not to mince words and instead, I just grabbed the journal from the band of my pants and dropped it on the table in front of Samantha and Gregory. “What, how do you have this? I just gave it to Esther.” Gregory questioned confused. “No, you gave her that one, that she left over on the end table.” I responded pointing to the other journal. “I pulled this one out of Esther’s trunk when she wasn’t looking.”“I don’t understand” Gregory said in confusion pulling the journal to him and opening the cover. “There is more than one copy, and Esther had already seen it, when she claimed she hadn’t, why?” Samantha also looked confused. “If I had to guess, this one is the original.” I answered, “But I need to know what happened.” Gregory recounted the details of Esther helping him pull the ink forward from the back pages of the journal and how it didn’t lead to anything more, so he was going to give up on finding out anything more. “Well, I will tell you what I
Esther’s Point of View“Hannah NO!” I shouted while running forward into the room. Wesley was passed out on the bed with fresh blood still shining on his lips and Hannah was standing over him with a wooden chair leg pressing into his chest. I threw my hand up suspending Hannah into the air, while Dimitri ran forward to pull the chair off Wesley and check on him. “He is still alive” Dimitri said in relief.“Ok we will just tie her up for now” I huffed lowering Hannah into a chair and Dimitri brought some of the rope, we brought to tie up Wesley, over and tied her to the chair. “Hannah, you promised” I said shaking my head at her. “I only broke the promise because you stopped me, I didn’t intend to attempt to kill him, I was going to kill him.” Hannah sneered at me. “Unbelievable” Dimitri said under his breath. “Why do you even have wooden furniture down here?” I questioned as I turned to inspect Wesley’s chest wound. “Well generally it isn’t an issue, not many vampires try to kill
High Lord Dimitri’s Point of ViewTalking to Wesley was endlessly frustrating and I wanted nothing more than to get it over with. “Wesley did you tell anyone else about seeing Elizabeth in the United States?” I questioned. “My dad knows I saw Elizabeth in the United States.” He answered.“Does he know anything else?”“Yes” Wesley answered.“You will have to make it more specific, of course his dad knows other things.” Esther said.Oh, right duh, okay more specific. “Does your father know about the hybrid?” “No, this is a bunch of bullshit High Lord Dimitri, I haven’t done anything wrong.”“Do you not understand, how many lives are at stake with this information.” I huffed. “No” Wesley responded. “This could start a war between the species, countless lives lost on both sides.” I stated annoyed by his arrogance. “Have you told anyone about the hybrid?” “No” he answered, relief washed over me, soon this problem could be behind us. “Wait” Esther said studying Wesley’s face “Did you
Esther’s Point of ViewI would be able to sleep soundly tonight knowing the information about Renee has been contained. Unfortunately, Wesley had to lose his head to keep that information safe, but it was better than literally losing his head in my book. I still wasn’t sure what we should do with Hannah, as she had already lost some of her mind and unfortunately, I didn’t know of a spell in all the world that could help that. We couldn’t let her go and I didn’t know how to keep her here either. Once I was done with Wesley, we cleaned up the room and tucked him into bed. We untied Hannah and walked her back to my room. Which I was surprised to find empty, just a scribbled message from Silas saying he had to leave on business laying on the table. Which I found to be very strange, but I didn’t know what to do about that either. “Any ideals on what we should do with her?” Dimitri asked while pushing Hannah onto the couch and restraining her once more.“I guess until the trial is over o
Silas’s Point of ViewAfter we arrived in Berlin after our fourteen-hour overnight train ride we checked into a hotel, the sun would be up soon, so Gregory and Samantha needed to stay inside until it went down again. I settled into my room taking the time to read over the journal once more, I wished there was a spell I could cast to make the words appear, but to my knowledge no such thing existed. We would have to rely on technology. My eyes started to get heavy after a couple hours and when I awoke next the sun was already down. I jumped out of bed quickly and grabbed the journal before leaving my room and walking to Gregory and Samantha’s room a couple doors down. I knocked on the door and was told to come in. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to oversleep.” I said upon entering. “No worries, I just received confirmation from my friend that we can come to lab.” Gregory stated grabbing a jacket. “I have a case to put the journal into to protect it” Gregory stated grabbing a silver case off the
Silas’s Point of ViewI spent days moping around my hotel room, I had no ideal this would take so long. I didn’t trust that Doctor Schmidt guy anyways, maybe he had already read the pages and was off to find the relics. I more I stewed the more paranoid I got, what if Esther wonders why I am gone so long, what if she tries to find me. So many scenarios swept through my head. I was just about to go tell Gregory my latest fear when I heard a knock on my door, I nearly jumped out of my own skin. “Who is it?” I questioned looking about the room. What if it was Esther, what if she had found me out and was coming to take revenge. “It’s me Gregory” Gregory’s voice sounded confused, and I realized I had let my worries get to me again. “Right, come on in” I answered. Gregory came into my room and looked around with a look of disgust. “This place is a mess, what have you been doing? Have you even left this room?” Gregory questioned. I darted my eyes around the room, I guess it was a bit of a
Excerpt from Lilith’s Diary The days have grown long, someone is tracking us, but I don’t believe they are human. I see flashes, flashes in my mind’s eye constantly. A man fallen from faith, lost and searching. Then I see Esther’s face, her mouth filling with blood as she turns cold and pale. I am powerless to stop it. I have went to Remus and told him of my visions, his information makes him think someone is tracking us as well. It does not seem to matter where we go or what tactics we use he is always right there, a constant shadow, a plague on my thoughts.Every time I look at the faces of my peers, I am haunted by what I fear will be. Tabitha’s face cold and lifeless. William’s face warps to that of a wolf with blood dripping from his massive jaws, his eyes no longer his own. Theon becomes a headless body collapsing to the floor. Arya has a large arrow through her eye as the other becomes hazy and blue. Remus warps into one of a wolf as well, and Esther my dear sweet Esther she c
Silas’s Point of View“This is amazing!” I exclaimed after reading the passage from the journal. “Where is the rest of it?”“I am still trying to process the additional pages” Doctor Schmidt answered “I know the next two pages are too badly faded for our current technology, I couldn’t pull anything from them of any meaning. I thought you were both probably getting anxious, so I wanted to share what I had so far.” “Extraordinary, thank you!” Gregory grabbed his shoulder giving it a friendly squeeze.“Maybe we will even find out who the author is.” “Yeah, I don’t have any clues yet” Doctor Schmidt stated, “Where did you say you found the journal?” “It was in a lot of books, I purchased from an estate auction while I last visited a friend in England.” Gregory answered.“Do you know who owned the estate?” Doctor Schmidt questioned. “A Doctor Delilah Whittaker” Gregory answered, “I have contacted her relatives and they responded that she traveled extensively in her younger years, and it
