Chapter 15
I turned my attention back to Gabriel and took calming breaths to tame the fear that I was feeling but no matter how many I took, it still lingered like shadows in a deep dark void. "What did he ever do to you that wanted revenge?" I asked, keeping his attention to me. Gabriel scoffed and tightened his grip on me. My tone held fear but like any normal person, I wasn't. Not anymore.
"He hasn't told you the story bout Him and I?" Gabriel's tone sounded surprised and I arched and eyebrow in confusion. "Looks like I get to tell you my story first." He seemed thrilled by the idea but then I used my peripherals to only to notice that Marcus was right behind Gabriel. A smirk curled his lips and a fang peered out, gleaming beneath what moonlight seeped through the tree line.
"Doubt you would get a chance." I mumbled before my own fangs came out and I bit him harder than thought I could. I heard Gabriel grunt as I spun out of his grip. but before Gabriel could react Marcus put

Sarene's hands shook nervously as she sat near her arched window overlooking the castle courtyard. The people went about their lives as any would. She heard talking but paid no mind to it. Instead she worried about Gabriel's plan to rid her of the throne. Sarene wasn't ready to give up on her place as queen. It was her right and heir. She needed to do something before it was too late. A knock sounded and she took a breath. “Who is it?” The fear that she felt rose in her chest but she tried to contain it as much as possible. Earlier in the night she had asked one of her hand maids to retrieve a narcotic that would put Gabriel asleep for a long while so that she had enough time to send him far away from here. It was high time that she ruled without the fear of her second in command breathing down her neck every time she turned around.Serene hoped it was him so she could get the deed done. The door to her quarters opened and in stepped Gabriel. He adorned his

My thoughts raced as I used my new found ability to rush through the forest trees and underbrush with Blake and Nora behind me. I felt the small breeze go through my red hair, which had changed when I turned. I no longer had a heart beat so the sound of it bounding in my ears was no longer visible but that wasn't what really concerned me at all. It was the impending situation that was ahead of me and the though I was immortal, there was still some things about this life I still needed to get used to. One was my other powers that seemed to lay dormant inside of myself and the fact that I haven't had the chance to really discover what those were. It made me worried that this encounter with Gabriel and his strengths may exceed mine considering that I was still a newborn and couldn't truly understand the levity of my own morals. Marcus may of taught me the basics of being a vampire but there was more to it than met the eye. I understood all of it but when I was told that I had hidden ab

I waited for a response and with every second that had passed, my adrenaline had kicked into the point of worry. It’s about time you decided to drop that wall of yours. His voice eased itself in teasingly and the thought of it made my insides sort of melt like ice cream. I took in a sharp breath as though something had hit me but then it was also the fact that I was nervous about the fact that I was about to tell him what my crazy and obnoxious plan was. The fact that I was about to do something insane with Blake and Nora by my side to do it. You don’t need to tell me anything. I already know what is going on. My eyes widened with shock but then again I had an inkling on how he did. Nora or Blake must have said something to Marcus without me knowing and I suppose that it was alright considering the situation. I was about to do something very reckless and stupid without even thinking.I guess it was Nora or Blake that must have said something. I s

Remus Pack Meeting“What are we going to do about them?” Emelie Drake had asked Jarvis as she paced frantically back in forth in front of the grand oak table that sat in the massive dining room. “The newborn was close enough to the castle that it made me worry that they'd figure out what is going on.” Her face, dulled by shadow and a faint red and orange glow from the fire, made it seem as though she were fierce and let's face it, Emilie wasn't fierce.“I doubt they would of gotten close enough,” Jarvis said as he placed his goblet of water on the table in front of him. “They don't know a thing as of yet and when they do, things won't end pretty.”“How long can you keep this up?” She asked as she flopped into one of the chairs that seated the rest of the pack. Her eyes said so much and yet didn't bother to say a word. Emelie wasn't the talkative type and the only thing that got her to speak

I heard voices but they were only echoes in my mind and for a brief moment I had thought that I was going crazy. Memories flashed before my eyes. Of Marcus and I, locked in the cells of that lab. Doctors doing their rounds and scientists not far, jotting down our results in charts that were unable to be seen. The moment Marcus was able to escape was they day began to loathe him for everything that he was. The friendship that we had formed was now gone and in its' very place was a sense of revenge. It was more of a need than a feeling. Marcus had abandoned me and that was enough to never want to see him alive. Fate on the other hand, had its' course and when he showed up at the castle that night, he saw the opportunity. The chance to exact that need.I heard myself grunt at the thought and by the time I fully came to focus, he realized that there were more than two guards dragging his dead weight down into the dungeons and of course he was too weak to do anything. The gu

I felt the sun wan slowly behind the fabric of the darkened curtains as I laid underneath the satin sheet on my bed. My head rested on the pillow while my arm rested under my neck. I rolled over and stared at the ceiling while my thoughts were at war with what to do about the plan to end this charade with Gabriel. I hated the idea of everyone that I was close to get hurt and being holed up like animals when the reality was that we had done nothing wrong. Sarene had been forced to make the decision that very day because Gabriel sought out revenge for what had happened at the labs. The truth was this, I was scared. Scared of going into that place where the scientists had created us. The first line of vampires that had existed. Me and Gabriel and possibly more who had died trying. It made me wonder if Sarene and her parents were apart of what they were doing.The urge to ask her was strong but the Remus pack had a close eye on us the whole time but we also had access to th

Blake returned a few minutes later, after I had instructed that he'd scout the area. His dark hair was disheveled from the wind and his eyes glowed softly under the fire's embers and his cloths seemed off, as though he had gotten into war with some type of animal but ad I sat on the sofa, checking and double checking to make certain that there was no errors in the map that I had hidden in my closet, was correct, his voice rumbled over my thoughts. "It is clear, Marcus. I made sure that nothing was on that route."I took a breath and folded the map that had been resting lightly in my lap and placed it on the coffee table sitting before me. "Good." I said in all bit a whisper. "Now all we need to do I wait for the girls and head toward town to get everything else from the storage space.""Are you certain you want to do this? Blake asked, a hint of concern rose in his voice. "Who knows how many men Gabriel has in store for us.""I am. Gabriel has this grudge agains

An hour had passed and we were already on our way to the road that we spoke of. The thoughts that constantly raced through my thoughts had made me uneasy.Gabriel was once my friend, one that had kept me sane in my time at the labs. The place that those cruel scientists decided to create the very first race of vampires as far as I knew of anyway. There were more of us than I had envisioned honestly. It made me think about whether or not I was the first or those bastards had lied to our faces. What more did they keep from us? From me that I should of known about before? Was Sarene and her parents the first race?I shook my head and turned my focus to reality. As I zipped through the trees and underbrush of the of forest, I looked up at the sky, noticing how bright the stars had gotten alongside the moon, to which it was full. A group of clouds had formed to cover a portion of the moon, causing a mystery vibe from above. I heard Emery's voice loud
