Chapter 22Ethan's POV The witch we're meeting up with today has lineage within my family. Her ancestors have been in close ties with my family for generations so I'm glad she's agreed to helping us out. "Emily, nice to see you." I greet her with a handshake. Her short white hair and thin arched eyebrows show wisdom. "Hello, dear. My family has books about you and your family. It's an honor to finally see the man described on paper.” Her voice shakes, showing her age. I smile and follow her into her small home. It smells strongly of sage and herbal things all mixed together. "Someone, please take this box. It's freaking me out." Jordan complains. I carefully grab the box between the thin blanket, protecting my skin from the contact. "I was wanting to know if you knew anything about this.” I slowly set the box on the table. Her blue eyes scan the box, making the wrinkles in her forehead become more prominent. "Where did you find this?" She asks, inspecting it closely. "We're i
Chapter 23Ethans POV Speeding past traffic, surpassing the speed limit, running stop signs and red lights. I just need to get to her. "Did she seem hurt?" Jordan asks from the back seat. "She sounded a little shaken up, but I don't know." As I drive, I think about what I'll do to the person, or people, who put Jessica in harm's way. I will make them suffer, plucking out their teeth one by one, ripping their fingers off their hands...so many evil thoughts. The hospital comes into view, making me park the car crookedly, taking up more than just one spot. All three of us run into the hospital using our human speed to not seem suspicious. "We're looking for someone, her first name is Jessica." I told the receptionist. "Okay, last name?" She begins typing on her computer with her obnoxiously long nails. She clicks and clacks on the keyboard, adding to my already steaming anger. I turn to Jordan and Jacob hoping one of them will know her last name. How could I have never asked he
Chapter 24Jessica's POV "Love, I don't know how to tell you this-” "She's dead, isn't she?” I blurt, cutting him off. My best friend is dead. She's gone, I saw her eyes. More burning tears roll down my cheeks, making my eyes itch. "No, love," he holds me closer to him, "take a breath and tell me what happened." What do you mean, no? "We came home and we accidentally left the door unlocked when we left for w-work. Someone was in the-here and...and they got her. I only heard her scream one time and when I checked on her, she was..li-like that.” I try my hardest to explain without stuttering or crying, to no avail. He brushes his fingers against my back to try to soothe me. “Okay, love. Okay." He hugs me tighter to his chest. My arms wrap around him and tightly hold onto his shirt, probably creating so many wrinkles. "She's changed.” He says softly. I wiped my eyes, did I hear him properly? “What do you mean?" Lips gently press against my forehead, "she's a newborn now, lov
Chapter 25Jacob's POV Bambi is happy to have all the blood she could wish for. It's not normal for us to just feed any random thing but I guess since Bambi cares about her so much, she's fallen under our wing and we will teach her everything. Hopefully she's not like Jordan, if we have two controlled so easily by blood lust, it'll be hell. "Why am I like this?" She breathes heavily between sips of the blood bag, sitting on the concrete floor. “Tell me what you remember.” Ethan ignores her question, asking his own instead. "We walked into the house, I was stumbling around because my foot was burned pretty bad," she looks at her foot and removes the bandages quickly, "it's gone. It was just here, I swear!" I kneel in front of her, "you're going to heal quicker than a human can now.She scoffs, "normal?" Her eyebrows scrunch, "how is any of this normal?" “Watch your tone.” Ethan warns her, watching her cower slightly and sip on more of the blood. "I'm scared." She admits, laying
Chapter 26Ethan's POV Talking with Bambi made Jessica feel a lot better. Even though it's been a few hours, she’s still so energized and bubbly. I love it. She's been talking about exploring the house a little more, but she was surprised to find Jordan's art room that's filled with all his oil and water color paintings. We've shown her most of the rooms, just not two. The playroom, and the red room. I know she said she would try BDSM but I don't know how into it she'd be. Even though Jacob and Jordan are out and they're the doms, I feel like I should just see her reaction. "Come, love. Let me show you one more room." I say as I lead her through the steps and up to the second floor. Before we reach the maid and butler quarters, the playroom is in the middle of us and them. That way she can be heard at all times in little space and all the workers know to cater to her every want and need as well as to protect her if she needs protecting. "Where are we going?" She giggles as I
Chapter 27One of Alex's guards was quick to hand him his gun and he slowly made his way to my parents. Their eyes widened and I could see how afraid they were, it seemed like they were going to break apart in any of the next few seconds. The shaky movements of my mother's hands and her eyes taking a glance at the door told me something that had gone in her mind and she made my assumption come true when she took off to run to the doorway. Bang! The sound of the bullet being fired by Alex's gun was all that was heard throughout the entire hall before a blood-curdling scream broke through mom's throat. She fell to the ground, crying in pain and my eyes noticed the blood that gushed out of the wound on the back of her leg where the bullet penetrated in. "It's gullible of you to think that any of you can get out of here alive," He chuckled, it was sinister, "Now decide which one of you wants to die first. I don't have the intention to waste much time on any of you, so make it fast."
My tears kept falling, refusing to stop. The burning feeling in my heart did not stop even for the smallest amount of time. The torture they put me through when they were alive did not bother me as much as now, after their death. I felt so lost. As if there was a big weight hanging over my shoulder, trying to drag me into the ground and let me out again. My whole life all I got from them was pain and misery. Not even for once, did I get the chance to smile? It was not hard to imagine whether there had been any moments that I had, where I truly felt any sparks of happiness—Maybe, the first and last time was the day when I saw Alex for the first time before it all vanished into nothing. There was only one question I kept asking myself till now. Why me? Why was it me against the world? Why do I have to go through all of this pain that broke me, left me so shattered that finding a way to mend myself once again was nearly impossible? I was so tired of fighting. Everything was too mu
Chapter 29Emily He picked me up by my thighs and pressed me against the glass shower wall, the cool surface against my heated skin made goosebumps cover my entire body. He looked deep into my eyes, and his blue orbs pierced right through my soul, leaving a mark that might never fade. I slid my hand around his neck and used the other hand to grab onto his shoulder for balance I felt drawn to him. Every fiber of my body wanted to drown in him, pull him close, look at him, and notice every detail because I might not get the chance again to have him like this. So unguarded and calm, looking at me as if I was the first and last he'd ever look this way. He grabbed his thick shaft and shifted a bit away only so that he could press the tip of his cock against my entrance. A zap of shock exploded in my body and my lips parted. There was no pain today, he was not rushing anything. He was slow, gentle, and somewhat careful. He pressed his nose against my neck, before he slowly pushed insid
