Chapter 17Nicholas"Matthew, there's no polite way to ask this so I'm just going to be honest with you, how do you want to die?" I asked. "Well in the arms of a pretty woman wouldn't be bad, maybe I'll get your little play thing to attend to me too," he said with a stupid smirk. "Be careful what you wish for Matthew," I told him and I wasn't joking. He was pushing me to the wall and there was practically nowhere else to go to. There was no telling what I could do from here. If he had a death wish then he was playing his cards right for a quick one. I heard beheading a vampire would do the trick, I have never seen it being done but I know it was how Luka's family was wiped out by the other vampire family they went to war with."Matthew, why were you so rash to the girl?" Aunt Cherry asked. I didn't really care about his reasons. They didn't matter a bit to me. All I cared about were his actions and his actions drove Clara away and that was the only truth here. "I have a story t
Chapter 18Nicholas It wasn't long before I found myself at the door of Hunter Cage, the only human friend who could bear to be with me despite my numerous strange idiosyncrasies. Luckily for me he wasn't having a party tonight, so he must be alone. He was someone that you called a real party planner. It was either he was throwing the most expensive party or he was attending one. He wasn't your typical college student though. He knew where he was going and still found time to hit his books hard and pass with outstanding results. He was from a very wealthy home but he didn't always show it, unless when it was time to party. Many people would say he was a spoiled rich kid but that was because they didn't know him but loved to simply put him in the status quo. He was smart, kind and a real gentleman. He was actually the only friend that I could cope with. We met when I took a stroll to the campus and stumbled upon him and a few of his friends arguing about history. Being 200 years o
Chapter 19Clara"So where are you off to now?" I asked Lydia. "I was invited to this party on campus and it promises to be lit. You can come too, maybe that would make you feel better," she suggested. "There's no way I'm going to another party with you, it is the party you dragged me into that's putting me in this emotional trauma!" I groaned. "Well I didn't make you fall hopelessly in love, you can thank Nicholas for that," she said. "Ugh! I hate you!" I exclaimed. "You wish darling, you wish!" She said, then she seemed to have a change of heart and came closer to me, "was it that bad?" She asked. If only she knew half of it! I still haven't told her that I was falling in love with a vampire but still it was getting harder to tell her about my feelings without being completely honest with her."Yes it was, it was terrible!" I groaned. "Why? What did his family have against you?" She asked. "Well nothing really, apart from the fact that I'm human," I said. "What do you mean
Chapter 20ClaraI woke up in a bed that was not mine. I felt good, like I have never felt before. There was a bandage on my head and over where I remember Matthew stabbed me, but I felt no pain. I felt perfectly fine. I looked around and discovered that I was in Nicholas's room. How did I get here? Just then the door opened and Nicholas stepped in. He looked exhausted but as handsome as always. I had so many questions to ask him but I planned on asking them one at a time. "Hello baby, how are you feeling?" He asked, sitting down beside me. "Perfectly alright," I told him. "It must be the vampire blood working, you almost died and I had to do what I vowed never to do," he said. "And what's that?" I asked. "Give you my blood, with my blood now in your system you would become a vampire if you ever died, and I don't want you to be like me," he said. I knew he was being serious. I have never imagined myself as a vampire but I didn't want to do that now. I didn't know if I would b
Chapter 21NicholasAs we walked to see every one, hand in hand, there was a certain kind of peace that I felt. This was my woman and I was proud to call her mine. I was proud to show her to the world and the first people who could get that privilege were my family. When I brought her in yesterday every single one of them were on edge. I got to find out that nobody knew of Matthew's intentions to do something so drastic, so terrible. Sure, Henry knew when he went out but he didn't know that he was going out with the intentions of murdering Clara. But I was afraid that even if he had known he wouldn't have done much to stop him. Matthew was a very powerful vampire, much older than Henry for sure, but he wasn't the head of the family, even though he wanted to. Henry could be ruthless sometimes but he had the qualities of a leader and he was the one that turned most of us. The family was already gathered in the sitting room, waiting for us. "Oh dear, you gave me a heart attack, I'm
Chapter 1Clara's POV "Why do I have to go with you to this party again" I asked for the 5th time. "Oh darling, I'm doing this for you!" Lydia groaned."How?!" I exclaimed. Here I was, almost freezing to death, walking to a strange party in the middle of the night, when I had a mountain of books to read and a ton of assignments to do! Sorry but I could not for the life of me see how any of this was for my benefit. It was supposed to be a short stroll to the venue, but it was so cold outside that it felt like I've been walking since eternity. Don't get me wrong, I love my roommate….. sometimes, and right now tonight wasn't part of those times. "You can't fall in love with your books Clara" she replied. "Well that's exactly what I have been doing so far and it has been quite alright," I informed her."Quit alright shouldn't be enough! You have to actually go out and meet someone, a living breathing being!" She groaned."That's why I have you darling" I pointed out."Not me dummy,
Chapter 2 Nicholas's POV The moment she stepped into the house I could not help but notice her. I was drawn to her with a force I have never experienced in my 200 years of existence, even though I did not look a day older than 23, thanks to being a vampire. The party had been fun, not as fun as expected, somehow I was not at the top of my game tonight. I've flirted with a few girls whom thanks to my vampire aura and might I add my irresistible looks, were practically falling all over me. The strange thing though was that I didn't even care like I used to. Something in me felt numb, making me almost regretting that I allowed Hunter, my only human friend, to throw this party.However from the moment I saw the gorgeous brunette in her pretty shirt and her crazy looking friend, I thanked my stars. I stood upstairs as usual and from this point I had a perfect view of my mansion and everything that was going on. Plus I could hear every single thing happening but at nights like this I
Chapter 3Clara's POV"How dare he!" I groaned, "do I look like a joke to him?!" I screamed at Lydia. She seemed a little bit shocked, I was not the screaming type, but she was way too drunk to understand a word I said. She was in a world of her own entirely. I had to drag her out of the party with me. Firstly because I could not just leave her on her own, secondly because the dude she was with looked way too suspicious to be trusted with my roommate. So here we were, walking back to our apartment. Thankfully we were staying outside the university campus. I could not bear all these if I might have to face being scolded by any hostel warden. My mind swayed back and forth between getting my completely drunk roommate home safely and the dude who saved me, Nicholas Young. He had such a unique name and a memorable one at that, but it was his personality that was unforgettable. When it was just the two of us in that balcony I felt like I was home, but he was so remarkably handsome th
