Boston made a point of walking Luliana home every night. He was plucking up the courage to ask her on a date or prom. At least, this is what Luliana played over in her mind. Boston would stop her, take her boba tea, placing it on a nearby wall. He would take her hands inContinue reading “Luliana: An Imperfect First”

Daciana: Sobering
Daciana wanted to crawl into bed. Sink into the comfort of her soft mattress, the blankets pulled around. She imagined the darkness of the room swallowing her. The effect of the alien blood waned over the hours it took to travel home. In her short life, she had known hunger, an unsatisfied feeling that hisContinue reading “Daciana: Sobering”
Daciana: Teenage Vampire
Leticia slammed her book. It left her hand with such force as to draw the attention of Casimir. It silenced his conversation with Patrick. The vampire tutor was stepping back from his teachings. He remained incapable of forcing Daciana to leave her family. Or the freedom she believed staying offered. Daciana could feed on herContinue reading “Daciana: Teenage Vampire”
Charlotte: Oh, Brother!
The light faded from the sky. It bled orange, pink, purple and blue as the sun disappeared beyond the horizon. Light peppered the blackening sky, bringing the contemplative and serenity Charlotte craved. In this vampires came alive. A transient moment between day and night when they could see the world in vibrant colour. Everything changedContinue reading “Charlotte: Oh, Brother!”
Daciana: Handsome Drink
Casimir had followed her that night and watched as she took control of the girl in the toilets. Dacina impressed him with how she handled the situation. There were concerns over the amount of blood coming from Daciana’s victims. His initial thoughts pursued the idea Daciana was a sloppy drinker. On further investigation with aContinue reading “Daciana: Handsome Drink”
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: 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”
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”
