"Anastasia!"Edward echoes her name through the hallways as her grip around my throat only but increases in strength. My muffled moans are barely audible as I choke on the very last breath that still fills my lungs. My fingers curl over her claws as I try to pull them loose one by one. I am a good few inches off the floor and rising higher by the second. She will not let go; today, I am going to die."Anastasia, no!"Edward is watching in horror as Anastasia is squeezing the life out of me. He feels helpless, and I hopeless; there is just no comparison for her strength."Anastasia, let go of him!"Her neck snaps to the left as she glares at Edward with the utmost evil in her eye. Anastasia has gone dark. A very unfortunate term in the Vampire world that does not mean night, but in fact, there is a great evil that consumes her."Anastasia, I said, let go of him!"His voice rumbles against the windows, making them shake in their very fr

I have fallen into an abyss; my immortal life feels like it has come to an end. And as I look at Breyden, my eyes are pleading for him to check again. But I am afraid that every word he says is sadly the truth."Sebastian, she does not possess her soul anymore. It seems the evil that consumes her has taken the last bit of humanity away from her.""So there is nothing that you can do for her?""I do not want to take the risk; the last thing I want to do is kill Anastasia."And with that, a deep sadness overpowers me. She has only improved a fraction from the blood I gave her. At this rate, if I let her continue to feed from me, she shall rip my body to shreds. I am lost at a solution; I am her Maker, my blood is supposed to heal her, and I am ever more concerned that I feel my bond with her is slowly breaking."What are you going to, my friend?""Breyden, my only other option is to perish with her.""Don't be foolish; if you continue t

There is a suffocating grip that has overtaken my body as we step back into Anastasia's room. Never have I been so scared as I am at present. The air is thick and heavy; a dark mood has settled into each corner of every wall. I can genuinely say that I have never in all my years experienced such a thing. I use to be the one that rejected my lovers; never did I think the tables would turn.As I look at the Vampire Hunter next to me, he seems somewhat overconfident that he shall be the man with whom Anastasia will leave today. Arrogance makes you a fool, and fools never win. So if I were him, then I would wipe that smirk off his stupid face.But as for Anastasia, it is hard to read her face, and I am not able to read her mind either. Had she found the ability to shut me out? Or is the beast still somehow present deep inside? Can this man next to me not see that he is not able to help and protect her from these things. He is a killer; he will not be able to accept Anastas

It is with great horror as I watch Zachariah move towards Josiah and Anastasia with a stake in his hands. But that is not what frightens me; what scares the daylight out of me is the direction he is pointing his dagger at. The Vampire Hunter is going for my beloved.Has the man gone completely insane? Does he truly intend to hurt Anastasia? Well, that shall be the day. I immediately block his path, and in a flash, I have his back against the wall. But now he is pointing the stake at me. I see as the fury consumes Anastasia; if I were this man, then I would not mess with her.So while Connor and his brother take on Josiah, Anastasia strides her way over to us. This is when the Vampire Hunter realizes that he has just overstepped a boundary, but itis too late. My beloved has been infuriated, and as she turns in her true form again, I can yet not stop myself from thinking how elegant she is. Then she takes him by the throat and slowly starts to rise him off his feet. In a

There comes a point in man's life where you question the love that those close to you have for you. Now I never once thought I have to question it as many times that I have had with my beloved. Our union has been riddled with troubles right from the start. One should think that it shall make you grow closer, but it seems that once again she might just kill me, though I do not know the reason thereof.So I find myself starting at the point of I very sharp dagger. I do understand that she is thinking of the Windchaser boys, but in what way is she thinking of me. Only but an hour ago did she confirm that she chose me, what has since then changed. Does she pity this Vampire Hunter so much? Or is she playing a game that I am once again too dense to notice?And it is then that she winks at me. She is indeed up to something. I just hope that she realizes that actually killing me is not going to help us. Even though I know that she shall enjoy piercing that dagger into my hear
