Daciana believed if she asked someone, “Can I drink from you?” they would reject her. It seemed an unusual request. How would it work? Did the human hold out their wrist or tilt their head in a very public offering? She needed to know how the things Casimir taught echoed the real world. Daciana settledContinue reading “Daciana: The Girl”

Daciana: The Power to Leave
From the other side of her cell door, the sweet songbird voice of her blonde sister irritated Daciana. Luliana pretended she understood. She wished Daciana could hang out by the pool with her and their friends. It was hard explaining Daciana was ill and could not play with them. The door swung open, and DacianaContinue reading “Daciana: The Power to Leave”
Daciana: Existence
Casimir was lukewarm to touch because of a slight tremor in his hands. The shivering was often mistaken for being of a cold disposition. As their hearts were useless after death, vampires used rapid contractions of the peripheral muscles. It helped the blood flow and digestion. The warmth from fresh human blood heated them forContinue reading “Daciana: Existence”
Daciana: What she loses
They, her parents and sister, were human. Each day they awoke, Patrick serving pancakes with lashings of maple syrup. Leticia would check the homework, offering helpful corrections. Their devoted daughter, Luliana, lapped up the attention. She thrived on sunshine, all sweetness and light, as she made friends and planned her prom night. Luliana would grow,Continue reading “Daciana: What she loses”
Daciana: Dinner
Skinny blue jeans moulded themselves to her rounded figure. A black puffy-sleeved top with a sweetheart neckline borrowed from her sister. A pair of black pumps completed her look. It was the closest Daciana came to looking respectable. The one elegant dress in her wardrobe was from the wedding, and blue was not her colour.Continue reading “Daciana: Dinner”
Daciana: Doing My Best
Casimir rebuffed Daciana, sending her hurtling back to the ground. She screamed at him; the pain scorching its way across her back. In this time of peace, vampires had no outlet for their powers. War was a distant memory. The rules governing their hunting of humans meant they needed other opportunities. Sparring amongst themselves wasContinue reading “Daciana: Doing My Best”
Patrick: Upstaged Matrimony
Leticia was everything, more than he deserved. Her smile gave him warmth, a fuzzy feeling at the core of his soul. Patrick swept the hair back from her neck, cupping her face. He had failed once to protect her, and he would not allow this to happen again. There was no one in the worldContinue reading “Patrick: Upstaged Matrimony”
Patrick: She’s the One
The attic, decorated in a neutral colour, was the second choice for their wedding. Surrounded by large Honduran Mahogany framed windows, the space was airy and fresh. The aisle he walked had champagne-coloured rugs lined with blue petals. Pale bronzed stands placed at the ends of oak benches boasted white roses. Two small pillars tookContinue reading “Patrick: She’s the One”
Patrick: Wedding Day
An elegant home once occupied by the Von Haunts sat at the edge of Windenberg. The family put their home into a trust with the intention everyone could enjoy its splendour. Rumours they could not afford the upkeep remained unfounded. Yet, they seem to allude to the spotlight these days. It overlooked the green landsContinue reading “Patrick: Wedding Day”
Patrick: Will You?
Leticia watched herself in the mirror. The wounds on her neck were dark spots, tender to touch. The city noise was a reminder she was alone. Patrick stayed with the twins in Newcrest, torn over his devotion to them and her. Eliza knocked on the door. She and Scarlett were kind, allowing Leticia to intrude.Continue reading “Patrick: Will You?”
