Charlotte: A Little Piece Of Her.

The park was quiet, with a few evening couples taking a stroll. Others took their time, sitting on benches to watch as the stars appeared in the sky. Caleb guided a wary Charlotte, feeling her hand twitch in his as she resisted the urge to hiss. It was the most normal either of them hadContinue reading “Charlotte: A Little Piece Of Her.”

Daciana: Spaghetti

Casimir was slow to give Daciana back her freedom after the Sulani stunt. She had lived on plasma packs and denied contact with her friends. Casimir knew what Daciana had done to Layton in a public setting. Daciana lacked remorse for her actions, blaming her inherent blood lust on a life she did not choose.Continue reading “Daciana: Spaghetti”

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: Spaceman

Her breath was shallow, eyes were like saucers watching a transformation. He altered the physical form of peachy human flesh to a yellowed apple green. His eyes blackened with galaxies swirling within them. Koa held the power of metachrosis to make himself appear human through the colour of his skin. It was their camouflage inContinue reading “Daciana: Spaceman”

Daciana: Whiskey Koa

The bar was a beautiful fire hazard, crafted from straw and wood. The open structure invited in nature with no glass to separate the world from the shelter.

SheContinue reading “Daciana: Whiskey Koa”

Daciana: Mai Tai

Daciana clutched the red passport, running her fingers through her blonde wig. There were advantages to having a twin sister. Although they were not identical, they shared enough similarities.

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”

Daciana: Spiced Kiss

Earthy, cumin, bay leaves, the bitterness of the curry leaves. It tantalised her taste buds with sweet cinnamon, tangy citrus and the heat. The warm blood filled her veins, flooding her with fiery, green chillies. Daciana wanted a mere taste of his blood, a degree of revenge for his torment. She wiped her mouth asContinue reading “Daciana: Spiced Kiss”

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!”

Charlotte: Abandonment Issues

Take a moment to enjoy the calm. Let the world around fall away and be present in this moment alone. There is nothing to fear, no pressing concerns or places to be. Let go and share experiences of life before death. To know that here, there will be no judgment. To know that here, thereContinue reading “Charlotte: Abandonment Issues”
