I need to stop for one moment and take a step back, for beyond all the craziness that fill our lives, I need to allow myself to remember what drives me to make this city, and I shall even go as far as to say the world. What makes this all worthwhile is the beauty that lies in my arms. Should I not have had her presence in my life, I would not have had the sheer willpower to take the impossible on. Not that I say as Vampire Master I would have looked away; I would have left it to others to resolve by risking their lives for our kind. But with Anastasia, I need to prove myself not only as a leader but also as the man I wish she would desire.
To have beauty in your life is easy, but to have the beauty of the woman that you love and the one that loves you in return is the greatest gift that one can experience. I can, with all honesty, say that there is no doubt that she completes my life. To be lonely for eternity can be seen as a life sentence, but having what you crave, is the
…Anastasia POV…I cannot believe the words that have come from Sebastian's lips. I cannot say which I feel the most, shock or surprise. Never have I taken to the idea to become someone's wife serious. I never considered it in my mortal years, and when I became immortal, I did not think that something such as this would be possible. Do Vampires even get married?Now it should be an easy answer, for I love Sebastian with more than every fiber of my body, and we shall, after all, be together for eternity. Why then is there hesitation for me to answer him, should I even dare to say that I shall considerer his proposal?But now another idea comes to mind. Does he mean this, or did he indeed only say this in the moment of ecstasy. I am sure a man such as Sebastian, who lived a life where he had women in abundance, has never considered such a drastic step in any relationship.The thing is, why am I even having this inner battle with myself. The ans
Today I choose to look the other way.I will wed my beloved before next sunset.Whatever requires our attention here shall have to wait. So we find ourselves in a nervous but joyful mood returning home several hours later. Now, if our ceremony is not creating absolute chaos, then I would say that poor Lilith is headed for one major hysterical breakdown. She is going beyond what is required. She is making this look more and more like a true wedding. All I do is watch poor Anastasia just look on, far too scared to stop the crazed woman that is running from one side to the other in the ballroom."Lilith, please don't tell me those ungodly things are flowers?""Sebastian, they are red.""Your point being? They are still flowers. And why in god's name is there chairs?""To sit on Sebastian.""You can stand; there is nothing wrong with your perfectly good legs.""Sebastian, the way you talk, we shall be here forever. Now please get o
I never have before experienced excitement and yet been more terrified at the same time as I do now. It is truly amazing how the things you desire can bring you to your knees. In saying things, I do mean a woman, that one such a creature can break down your defenses. I always believed that a woman should be my undoing, but this is an undoing that I do welcome. And as I stand here, I have never been so sure about anything in this life and the lifetime before.But let me tell you a story of a man so lost and incomplete that he dwelled for years in trying to find that one thing that he eluded him so, love. The man that tells you that they do not desire to experience love and not be love in return is not only a liar and a fool. The craving to be loved is a desire that every mortal, and believe me when I say, that every Vampire does have.Now how do you love? You love with your heart and your head, your instinct and your experience. Should you lack any of these, there shall
I have just experienced what the best day of my entire existence is, now I would be foolish if I believe that things shall now go back to some kind of normal. Though in saying normal, I am referring to a life where a Vampire spends his life peacefully in the comfort of his home. Now in the Belmont house, what can be seen as normal should be absolute chaos. And chaos is exactly what is about to erupt as Edward confirms what item is missing from the Council house. Now another word that should be accompanied by chaos is pure horror. I think that there should be nothing that scares me by now, but I have just been proven very wrong once again.The tale goes such as this. It was many years before I was even destined to become a Vampire. There was a group of supernatural creatures, to be precise, a witch, a wizard, a sorcerer, and yes, a fairy that decided to compile a book with the strongest and some very dangerous spells the entire supernatural world has seen. It carried spells th
It was the year 1745, Europe was riddled with Vampire killings, more so London in particular. At first, I thought that the Vampire Hunter had gone insane and gone on a killing frenzy. That time there was no treaty between the Vampires and Hunters, so naturally, I descended down on his home and threatened to kill his entire family if he did not stop killing my kind. But I was very much surprised when he had said that he had not killed a Vampire himself and quite a few years. Now, this did alarm me for what creature would then be behind the killings.Now there was something different about these killings; the Vampires that have been slain had been somewhat mutilated, more ravaged, I would say, they were killed beyond the point of death was truly necessary. But not only did we find Vampires killed this way, there were humans that met the same fate, but the majority was Vampire, I would say.So as what it was now, it was then a custom to use a Vampire or, in some instances
There is a sound of absolute terror that fills the forest as chaos erupts before my very eyes. It is hard to see under the struggle that is a bundle in a ball of tumbling bodies if my beloved is still moving. As I watch one Ripper by one get pulled off from her lifeless body, it is pure agony that shoots through my body. It is with absolute impatience that I wait to be untied. The minute my hands are free, I leap to her in an instant.While I kneel next to her, I watch as the Rippers get ripped themselves. Well, I guess it is true that every dog has its day; in this case, a Ripper has gotten what he had coming.So as I shake my beloved, I need to find the urge not to cry in front of all that is present. I know that she is okay; it is only the terror that has her beyond scared."My beloved, they are all gone."Very bewildered, she opens her eyes; her voice is a soft whisper underneath her shivering lips."Sebastian, what happened?"From behind
After what seemed like the longest hour of my immortal life, Connor and his pack safely escorted us out of the forest. With this new information in hand, we make our way back home to share our discovery with Edward and Victor. The big question begs, how are we going to resolve this matter without drawing too much attention to ourselves.With that in mind, we soon find ourselves walking through the front door, where we are met by a very frantic Victor and a somewhat worried Edward. Unlike Edward, I do believe that Victor does not carry the same faith that I shall, no matter what, always bring the ones that are dearest to me and that accompany me on such a mission safely back home. He seems to have built a somewhat stronger bond with Lilith since the whole incident with Lucius, which I understand, but the man has grown slightly overprotective.Now, if this is welcomed by Lilith, I do not know; I have never seen her to settle with one man for a period of time. That in its
This bears too much for my heart to take; there is no way I have ever imagined that I shall lose Lilith in such a way. I do understand that she requires companionship, but why can they not remain here in the Belmont House. What I am also aware of is that they do fear for the safety of Stefan, for she does not have to mention a single word. I do know that both Victor and she believe that I am a danger to be around. This does sting my heart, I have, and I shall always ensure that she and the boy will be safe.Yes, there is a great enemy waiting for us to face; I would prefer that she remain here until the threat has passed."My dear sister, there is a monster that is lurking in the shadows that are threatening to step forward. Please can I beg for you to hold off your decision once we have safely retrieved the Book of Spells?""I know we are all in great danger; I have not made my decision yet. I felt I need to discuss the question that Victor place in my path wit
