It is yet another day after a great battle of which I fear are also becoming quite frequent now. It makes me believe that they have always been lurking; I have just failed to see them hiding in the shadows. Does this truly make me the feared Master I believe I am? I believe I have lost the grip on my reign. But before I shall remedy this, I will do as I promised and take Anastasia away from London for a few days. Now from what I have been told, she has never set her foot outside these borders. So I shall take her to the beautiful countryside in Scotland.So we find ourselves packing a small bag with only the bare necessities that we require. To say that she is not excited shall be a complete lie. Now I do hope that we shall not be bumping into any other Vampires during our short stay. If this shall be possible is yet to be seen. I am afraid that having the Master in town, might set off some alarm bells. The very last thing I wish for is to deal with the issues of a bunch of u

…Anastasia…I watch as horror consumes Sebastian's face; I have seen him terrified, but this is terrified beyond compare. What could have him so spooked, just a few hours he had left to attend a Council meeting, and now has returned looking as if death is staring him in the face?I take him by the hand away from Lilith that is sitting with Stefan."Sebastian, what is the matter?""We need to find Edward at once.""What seems to be the problem?""I shall discuss it with you in the car."With that, we excuse ourselves from the room and head out into the freeze of the night. It takes a few moments for him to compose himself to tell me what has us speeding down towards the alley where Edward goes to feed."There has been a series of deaths; there seems to be a group of humans that are infecting Vampires with poison. A poison so strong that it eats you up from the inside.""Oh god, Sebastian, do you think that E

They say that a Vampire has it all; he has the knowledge; the power, and the best of them all is eternity. But what they fail to remember is that we were once human; we know the pain that should come with the things that bring you heartache in life. Disappointment, failure; loss; fear; all these things we know the feeling that accompanies them. Even though we do not find ourselves crying, it does not mean we do not know how you should feel when you experience any of them.And as I watch how Edward drops to the floor in front of me, I am gripped by every single painful feeling that my body can think of. It is crippling me and tearing my heart into shreds. It feels like my life that once came to an end is ending all over again. Never have I thought that I should see a Vampire die as a human does, but Edward is not dying; I refused to let him go, he is intended to live for eternity, and that is what he shall live.I am moving faster than a single breath to grab before he

I look at Edward with some confusion. Did he just ask me who I am? I do believe I am mistaken. These might be some side effects from the poison. Perhaps I should not have killed Catarina until I have had all the facts. But patience is not in my true nature. So we shall have to navigate this one blindly.Now I watch Edward as he somewhat frantically tries to get out of a bed that he is not quite familiar with. True, this is indeed not his room, but he has been in here often enough to know where he finds himself. So I gently lay my hand on his arm to try and calm him from his panic."My dear Edward, please calm yourself; you have only now awakened from a great ordeal."He instantly pulls his arm away from my touch; he looks at me with a great deal of anger in his eyes."You have not answered my question. Who are you, and where am I at?""Sebastian, Sebastian Belmont.""I do not know who you are. I demand of you to please let me go.""Th

It is early morning as I found myself descending the stairs; I am making a very rare appearance in the kitchen for what seems to have been quite a while. And as I turn the corner, I have a very wide-eyed Edward facing me with somewhat of a wicked smile. I do know exactly what is on this man's mind after last night. My dear beloved did some things that this Vampire has not experienced in his life before, and believe when I say she shall be doing it quite often from now. But first, I need to slap this man for his expression is starting to annoy my eyes."You do know that there is a saying that should the clock strike twelve, that stupid grin shall remain on your face.""Well, then I am glad that it is only nine.""Always the wisecrack. Tell me, how are you feeling?""Never better; I cannot believe you never kiss Aurelia before.""My Edward, there is a very good reason why I never did. Now tell me what lies ahead for us today?""Only a council
