The Reaper's sons Memory of the auction.
Ocean "Ten million ivinus once! Ten million twice! Sold to Count Vladimir Bartholomew!" Melody's voice echoes in my mind every minute I'm awake. I still remember the auction like it was yesterday, yet the dreadful event happened two years ago. I recall how much I feared darkness and how my heart pounded against my ribcage as the masked man pulled me along. I couldn’t see where the man was taking me because the vampires had forced a blindfold over my eyes. Other than the hardwood floor I felt beneath my feet, I couldn't perceive anything of the surroundings. I knew that whatever he was up to, it couldn't be good - it never was when the darkness took over. My wrists bled, with each jerk of the chains the sharp iron handcuffs cut deeper into the wounds. No matter how many times the man tugged on the chain or forced me to move fas

The New Invictus City 3199/ present/OceanThough the street hadn't heard laughter for a while, there are still the streetlamps, stubbornly shining into the night. The road itself has that well-loved appearance; the traffic of decades having passed over it. This is a street where real life had been, the turning of skipping ropes and shrieks of children. And then, the memories, reality, and dreams of so many collapsed. The times- they change along with a new power raising. It's hard to believe that not even a soul who had witnessed the former splendour of the beautiful city is around to talk about it. Most humans who live here must spend their days locked up in owner-issued chambers or avoid being caught on the streets. If anyone thinks Varden is a terrible man, they should pray they never encounter the guards.The sole of my worn heel slips i

Nightclub "Bloodlust"Ocean"Gentlemen, after tonight's show, I would like to invite everyone to my office; I have an offer in mind. And believe me, only a fool could resist it. But for now, I'm proud to present the first rank fifty-five human acquired in the last five decades. So, without further ado, please welcome her with a round of applause. The one I named Ocean." Vladimir jumps off the stage and sits on the chair he deems to be his throne. Everyone seated in the VIP area cheers, thrilled to feast their eyes upon the delicacy during the live performance. Each of these men spends the value of an entire servant to purchase a ticket to a once-in-a-lifetime show.I step on the stage as carefully as I can. I can't let the vampires know that I'm injured or Vladimir will make my life a pure Hell. The room falls silent, all eyes fixed on me, the bo
The Reaper's sons I am not a monster.
The forbidden auction, nightclub "Bloodlust"VladimirThe bright lights don't overpower the presence of so many influential men gathered for one purpose. Auctions are rare, private ones almost nonexistent; this day will go down in Invictus history. Everything I plan to do is considered illegal under our law, so the men I've invited must be careful.I walk around my office desk, sink into the gigantic leather chair, and clench my fists. "Men, I have invited the best of the best to announce stepping over a major milestone in my life. Today, I will sell my girls, and before you ask, yes, Ocean too." A smirk spreads across my lips as everyone around me cheers, clearly excited to acquire rare goods. However, two men I expected to see didn't appear in the room. The elite vampires had to arrive first, as the balcony exit was closest to my office.
The Reaper's sons When I see red, I don't stop.
Ocean"Fun fact, darling. When I see red, I don't stop." A tall, dark man stands in the doorway; he crosses his arms in front of his chest. One corner of his lip twitches as if he was about to smile, but the simple act doesn't happen. His presence makes me feel small, but beyond that, fear creeps over me, paralyzing my body - the stranger watched how I killed the Count. Now, even though somewhat free, I will still die at the hands of a vampire. Either way, I will die without a taste of freedom. "Here, let me show you how it's done," the man grins and stomps towards me. My reflexes have always been somewhat sharp, but I don't notice how the vampire snatches the key from my hand and drives it deeper into Vladimir's heart. His laughter fills the room, echoing off the walls like the most beautiful melody.His laughter is strangely hypnotic; I find mysel
The Reaper's sons The overprotectiveness.
Ocean"Welcome home, sweetheart." The blond vampire grins as he opens a heavy-looking door of their enormous house. I have never seen a building this large; even the Invictus building pales compared to this one. How can anyone call such a massive brick building home? Does their entire bloodline live here? "My name is Octavius, by the way," he places a hand where his heart is supposed to be and bows like a true gentleman. "Oh, yes, and this is Kieran," as Octavius introduces his brother, he purposely makes the darker man sound unimportant. Do they have some sort of bad blood between them? The thought makes me smile; at least, I came up with a rather funny line. Maybe one day I'll be able to use it."Thank you? My name is Ocean, but you know that already." Slowly, I enter the house; my eyes widen at the sight of the exquisite interior. There's no hallway leading to other rooms like I've seen in all the places I once visited. Instead, ta
The Reaper's sons The vampires and humans.
Ocean"They say that I was nearly sixteen when the Count bought me. Honestly, I have no idea how the years are supposed to go; I only know how the day goes. The other girls, well, my friend Freya- she knows how we are supposed to count time, and she takes notes. At the end of each day, she adds another number. The auction was two years ago, so I know I'm almost eighteen now." There are so many things I would rather keep to myself, but the vampires will see that I am lying. There's no proof that Octavius or Kieran won't hurt me if I tell lies, so I decide to tell everything I can. "My biggest mistake was believing in the guard. Before Vladimir took me to his nightclub, he demanded the rank test- whatever that means. I'm not sure if you want to know how it went, but the process was heinous and extremely painful. I thought they were going to draw my blood like they usually do, but instead, they cut out a piece of
The Reaper's sons Satisfy your curiosity.
Ocean"Come on, sweetheart, don't be like that. Sure, you look cute as Hell, but there's no need to pout like that. I didn't do anything to you, so don't act like I did. Here's a suggestion, since I keep saying the wrong things, how about you ask questions?" Octavius sinks deeper into the chair and makes himself more comfortable. Of course, he expects I will have many questions, but none of them really come to my mind when he wants to answer them right now."Quick, think of something to distract him from the nasty things he's been talking about."I think to myself. I bite my lower lip, and my eyes widen as if a light bulb just appeared over my head. "Tell me more about yourself. I mean, you and your brother seem pretty old, is there anything you remembe
