CHAPTER SIXTEEN¬_ "Your lip stopped bleeding," I said, touching his mouth gently.  Gilbert kissed the tips of my fingers.  The sun streamed in through the windows and warmed my back.  The only sound was our slightly heavy breathing.     "I want to be with you," he said softly, taking my hand in his, holding me captive.  "Can we, Liza?  Can we please?"   I felt his hand squeeze mine, like he was afraid I was going to jump up and leave him.   Why didn't he know?   Why didn't he know that I wanted to be with him more than anything in the world? "If you still want to be with Roderich—" he stumbled when I didn't say anythin

The moon's pale glow was the only light that pierced through the darkness of my bedroom. It had to have been half past two by then, but I couldn't sleep still. The shadows in my room were all too restless to me, they kept moving and dancing in the moonlight. And even as I was curled in my bed, I still could only think of how I longed to rejoice with them. Even as the moon crept higher into the sky and forced them to retreat from its light, they still embraced that fate, as though it were sinking under the horizon and allowing them more room to roam. Perhaps I should learn from the shadows, and grin in the face of the horrors around me. Inste

Away from Millennium, a thin, black haired woman nursed her newborn baby in a rocking chair outside. She smiled down at the tiny creature, hoping that one day, it’d be a blood sucker like its mother and father. She messed with the baby’s amazingly thick blonde hair and laughed as it tried to move her hand away. A tall blonde man came up behind the chair and put a hand on the mother’s head. He smiled down at the infant, who broke away from her mother’s breast and giggled at him. Rip laughed. “She’s a daddy’s girl alright,” she said as she covered herself and handed him the smiling baby. He caressed the

I walked back to my room after kissing him. I was upset. It was a horrible thing that I loved him. As a werewolf, he couldn’t live forever; I could. I wouldn’t be happy unless I could make him mine for forever. I wouldn’t be able to live without him, that much I could tell. I knew what I needed to do, but it was simply too much to ask. I went to his chambers, and knocked. He opened the door, wearing flannel pants and a t-shirt. “Rip, is something the matter?” he asked, seeing the pitiful expression on my face. “Ja. Can I come in?” I asked, looking up at him with sad, red eyes. He let me in and sat on the be

Captain and I were walking down the halls to the conference room when Zorin came out from her room. “Guess vhat Schrödinger just told me,” she said menacingly. “Shut up,” the Captain said with anger, and embarrassment, rising in his voice. “I would’ve never thought…” she started. “You’ve made your point, now piss off.” the Captain said bluntly. She went back to her room. “I really didn’t mean to cause you any trouble,” he muttered, looking at me. “It’s okay,” I said smiling, “You’re worth it, anyway.” Captain blushed again. “Captain,

It was so late, I thought, looking at the noon day sun through the blinds. Vhat could he vant vith me now? “Captain? You called?” I asked sleepily, poking my head in the door. There was no answer. That was typical of the Captain, so I went in anyway. He was standing there in his uniform staring at me. “Vhat did you vant, Captain?” I asked, made uncomfortable by his look. “You,” he said softly. I blushed deep red. He ran through my hair with his fingers, and pushed up on my chin to make me look him in the eyes. He vas much taller than me, by at least half of a meter. I looked into his unblinking blue eyes as he l
