IMPORTANT!!!

I forgot to mention about a week ago, that I was having my tonsils and antenoids taken out.


Well.... I just had the surgery about a half an hour ago. Unfortunately that means I won't be able to post anything after this and for the next week or so. I'm sorry for the inconvience.

I'll let everyone know as soon as I'm better.

If you would like to know how I feel during the week and how the surgery went, you can e-mail me at erfaulkner91@yahoo.com, my sister will be checking them.

GENA SHOWALTER

First off...

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Gena Showalter and her books!!! Her Lords of the Underworld series was the first paranormal romance, let alone first romance, books I have ever read.

Lords of the Underworld
I LOVE this series. It's the only books I can read in less than a day. And knowing me, that's an accomplishment. I love these books so much, that her future ones are going to be bought long before I even think about buying another author's books.

I have also read her Atlantis, Alien Huntress, and YA Alien Huntress series.

Atlantis
This series comes in close second to the LoTU series. I love the whole theory about Atlantis and the Gods banishing unwanted creatures there. You also got to feel bad for those creatures too.

Alien Huntress and YA Alien Huntress
Another Gena series I have read. Unforunately, I didn't really like this series as much as the other two. I think it has to do with the fact that the guys aren't as sexy and dangerous. But I still love the girls and their kick-ass personalities. You gotta love a girl who ca hold her own.

Onto the Fabulous Author herself...
Gena Showalter is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Paranormal Romance, Contemporary Romance, and Young Adult novels from a multitude of publishers. She has appeared in Cosmo and Seventeen magazines, on MTV, and has also been featured on many regional and national news programs.

Gena credits much of her success to her wonderful fans, amazing family, and the three slobbery English bulldogs who sleep under her desk. She is a self proclaimed coffee addict and when she’s not writing she likes to…well, we’re not sure. We’ve never seen her do anything but write.

Again, I LOVE her. She's amazing, talented and beautiful. You can't get any better than that. ;D

The Darkest Prison


I also just read and finished this one as well. I thought that Atlas was a total jerk, especially when he was trying to get Nike to fall in love with him. But eventually I did like him. I hope these two are in future books, that'll really get Cronus ticked off. Hehe ;D


Synopsis:

Once, Atlas, the Titan God of Strength, was Nike’s slave. Now, he is her master! Soon these long-time enemies destined to destroy one another will be forced to risk everything for a chance at love…

The Darkest Fire

I just recently read and finished this book. I thought it was very interesting because I always wondered what happened to the Goddess of Oppression.



Synopsis:

He is the guardian of hell, more monster than man. She is the goddess of oppression, more angel than woman. Together they will enter the flames to battle a dangerous horde of demon lords — and discover a passion unlike any other….

Fan Fiction

Recently for my Creative Writing class, we had to write a short. Well I had planned on writing a short story about the Black Dagger Brotherhood and adding my own character into. I found out that was called "Fan Fiction."

Anyways, I wanted to share it with everyone and get others opinions. But just so everyone knows, this isn't the finally copy, so there with be mistakes here and there. AND I will also be changing quite alot, so it makes a little more sense for those who haven't read the series.

P.S. It's SUPER long. On Word, it is 18 pages long.

Here it is...

Lover Dreamt
By Luvsdemons666
Chapter 1


Ugh! Parents are so annoying. Why can’t they just leave me alone? I mean I am 25 years old, I think I can decide things on my own. I sighed to myself as I slammed my bedroom door closed with my mind. I went over to my bed and sat down on the side of it.

My parents had decided to pick my hellren, or mate, for me. He was supposedly some aristocratic vampire with almost pure blood. But I had no idea who he was and honestly never wanted to know. I wanted to be able to choose on my own but my parents were being extremely strict. It was understandable. My transition into being a vampire was about to happen in the next days, weeks or possibly months. And I would need a mate in order to survive the transition. As I just sat there, I wept.

During my weeping, my best friend Mary called.

“How are you…?” She paused, noticing my sorrow. “You know what, why don’t you come hang out with me, Beth and Bella? Please, you could really use your friends.”

As I listened, I thought of my friends. Mary, my best friend, was one of the only humans ever allowed to know about vampires. She was also mated to one of the warriors in The Black Dagger Brotherhood, Rhage. There’s also Beth, she being half vampire, half human and the Queen of the vampires. She is mated to Wrath, the Blind King. And lastly, Bella, she is also a vampire and she is mated to Zsadist.

“Sure why not,” I said before even asking my parents.

“See you tonight, I’ll have Fritz come get you.” Mary said before hanging up.

I felt much better after talking to Mary for a little, heading back downstairs. I headed right into my parents’ study, ready to argue with them if needed.

“Mahmen, father, may I go stay over with Mary, Beth, Bella for a couple of days?” I asked, being interrupted immediately.

“No you may not,” my mahmen, or mom, said furiously. “I will not allow my only daughter to be anywhere near the Brotherhood… Those barbarians, that they are, could easily hurt and take advantage of your fragileness.”

“But I will be with Mary, she won’t allow anything to happen to me.” I interjected, knowing Mary, even though human, would kill one of the Brothers if they ever harmed me.

“I will not allow you hanging out with a human. They’re not even supposed to know about us. And yet the King, Scribe Virgin bless him, could allow such a thing to happen. And here I thought he was trying to make amends with his people.” My father said, not even looking up at me from his work. “Now, you’re not going and that’s that. Go back to your room.”

Whatever my father said went. But not tonight. I thought as I went up to my room and packed up my overnight bag. I was going to sneak out.

* * * * *

As I entered the Brotherhood’s mansion, Fritz began to fuss over me again. Asking to take my coat off, to take my things up to my room, and if I was hungry. That Fritz, I thought shaking my head. Fritz was the Brotherhood’s doggen, a member of the servant class within the vampire world. They have very conservative traditions about service to their superiors. They can even go out into daylight.

After letting Fritz do what he wanted, noticing how pleased he was that he could of use, he brought me into the billiard room. All of the Brothers were inside, along with Mary, Beth, and Bella.

I noticed Wrath, the Blind King first. I immediately bowed and lowered my head.

“Thank you for allowing me to stay for a couple of days, sire. I promise not to cause any trouble.” I said quietly, actually afraid to be in his presence.

As I finished, Wrath just shook his head.

“You are always allowed, don’t think you are never welcomed here. We are happy to have you here for however long you wish to stay.” He paused. “Oh and there’s no need to be afraid of me. I would never hurt you. None of us would ever hurt you.” He said smiling slightly.

I blush, as I bowed one more time. As I turn around, I’m thrown to the ground with Mary, Beth and Bella hugging me tightly.

“Yeah! Clarissa’s here.” Bella said, kissing my check.

“Now it’s a party, but the guys aren’t allowed.” Beth said sticking her tongue out at her hellren.

After I got up, the girls started talking about how they were going to spend the next couple of days with me. I used this time to look over all the Brothers, starting with Wrath…

Wrath is the last purebred vampire on the planet and has recently become the vampire race’s king. He is essentially blind but can still see somewhat. Tonight, he’s wearing black leather pants and a black button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up. You can easily see the tattoos that go up the undersides of his forearms which spell out his lineage in the Old Language. He has black, straight, and shiny hair that comes down past his shoulders with a widow’s peak. As usual, he wears his wraparound sunglasses because his pupils don’t process light well. His features are aristocrat, but his tremendous, overwhelming, size is that of a fighter.

Next is Rhage. He is the strongest out of the Brothers, as well as the best fighter. He was cursed by the Scribe Virgin, or in our terms, our goddess, but he was given the choice to choose between getting rid of his curse or saving Mary from dying of cancer. He chose her. Not surprisingly, he is at this moment stuffing his face with food. Though he has terrific table manners, even while stuffing his face, it is at odds with his great size. He’s wearing a black muscle shirt and a worn pair of Levi’s that are frayed at all the seams. His physical beauty is just, how can I put it… So compelling, especially with those astounding blue green eyes, which is such an unnatural, yet beautiful combination.

After him, I noticed Zsadist. He is the most lethal of them all. Once a former blood slave, a slave that unwillingly gives blood to their master/mistress, who was mercilessly tortured during the first hundred years of his life. He was at the point where he was beyond saving, or “ruined not broken” as Phury would say. But Bella came along and caught him from continuously falling from grace. I try not to stare at him, with that scar that intersects his face. He used to have glossy all-black eyes, but since being with Bella, he has beautiful canary yellow eyes. He still has skull trimmed hair, and even still has pierced nipples, which can easily be seen through his skin tight shirt that he is wearing right now. I can also see the tattooed blood slave bonds around his throat and wrists.

I then look to his twin, Phury. He is the most loyal of the Brothers, the one that sacrifices everything for others. Because of what happened to his brother, he became a celibate that truly cannot live because of all that his brother lost. Oh boy, is all I got to say about his looks. It’s his hair, or his stunning mane. Which is made of great waves of blond, red, and brown that fall to his shoulders. The colors are blended lovely together and the shine on it is magnificent. It’s also his bright yellow eyes, the color of the morning sunlight or a deep canary. And as for how he’s dress, let’s just say he always dresses beautifully. Right now, he’s in perfectly tailored black pants and a dove gray silk button down that makes his hair appear brighter.

Next is Torhment, who is the steady calm one. Of all the Brothers, he is the one that looks most like a soldier. Not only is it because he is completely covered in weapons, like the rest of the Brothers, but because of his Marine’s brush cut and his navy blue eyes are grave. I guess his eyes would be that way since losing Welsie, his beloved shellan. He’s dressed in combat boots, black cargo pants and a tight black T-shirt. As I see him sit down next to his Brothers, Phury and Rhage, I find him… Well it’s not exactly cold but it seems he never smiles.

But as my heart races and my thoughts swirl, I notice Vishous and Butch are not there. At that, my heart sinks. I have only seen Vishous once but every time I think of him, my heart flutters and my knees go weak. He is the most gorgeous of them, at least to me, he is.

He is the most intelligent of all the Brothers. And the one who is especially gifted. His curse is the ability to have visions, or dreams since he sees them in his sleep, of the future. Which to me, is the most fascinating and amazing ability to have. I sighed, as I remembered what he looked like the first and only time I saw him. There was always something other-worldly about him, that you can sense it the moment you see him even though he appears normal. Well, normal for a six foot six, two hundred and sixty pound vampire warrior. His pupils are the color of diamonds and when he stares at you, you feel plucked clean. He’s also sexy as hell. The tattoo at his left temple, an interlocking pattern of swirls, is gorgeous as it bleeds into the outside corner of his eye. He’s also sporting a goatee, which normally I don’t find sexy on most guys but with him, it definitely is. It is the same color as his short black hair, which is hardly seen under the Red Sox cap that is always on his head. On his left hand, he wears a black leather driving glove, which… If the rumors are true, that hand is capable of vast destruction. This can be sexy too, as long as that hand isn’t coming after you.

As I come back to reality, I realize that Mary had been speaking to me. “What? Did you say something?” I asked, just to make sure.

“Ah… Yeah!!! I asked would you like to sleep in the room across the hall from Rhage’s and mine? If so, you can head up now. Everyone else is pretty tired, so we’re heading up.” Mary said before giving me a hug.

“Yeah, sure. The rest of you do whatever. I’ll head up soon.” I said.

As Mary left, the others followed with Beth and Bella both giving me a hug as well. Now I was alone. I couldn’t exactly get to sleep after all the stress my body had gone through. So I headed to the kitchen, hoping to get something to eat before trying to get some sleep.


Chapter 2

As I rummaged through the refrigerator, I breathed in the peace and quiet. Finding nothing interesting enough in the refrigerator, I looked in the freezer and found some chocolate ice cream. I got some out and put in the bowl. I then sat down and started eating. Not long after, I heard a noise come from the stairwell. I heard the door under the steps open and close as two male voices sounded throughout the hall and into the kitchen. They were headed this way. As I finished my ice cream, the two males entered the room. I froze as I was about to get up to clean the bowl.

One of them was Vishous.

“Hello Clarissa.” Butch, the other male and the only other human allowed in the vampire world then Mary, said as he opened the refrigerator.

I smiled timidly at him but then quickly turned my attention back to V. When I did, I wished I hadn’t. All the color in his face was completely gone, he had paled drastically. And he, too, was frozen in place. He opened his mouth but quickly closed it. And as I was about to say something to him, he ran out of the room.

Confused, I ran after him. But by the time I was out of the kitchen, he had gone through the doorway under the steps. And I was forbidden from going there without one of the Brothers. But, since I hadn’t let my parents stop me from coming here, I wasn’t going to let that stop me either.

As I opened the door, it was shut in my face. That’s when I felt a cold chill go up my spine. I slowly turned around to see Zsadist leaning against the wall opposite. He just stood there, watching me with black eyes. Whenever his eyes turned from yellow back to black, I knew not to mess with him. That meant he was in a foul mood.

“I thought you were forbidden from going through that door?” He said slightly cold-heartedly, his eyes never wavered from watching me.

I didn’t know what to say, I knew I wasn’t allowed to go through the door but I wasn’t about to admit it to him. So I just slung my shoulders back and tried to act as tough as possible. This was probably dumb since he could kill me in less than a second but if I didn’t I wouldn’t be able to see V.

As if reading my thoughts, he finally said, “Go on then, go to him. But I don’t want to hear it when he rejects you. It won’t be my problem the second you step through that doorway.”

And then he just walked off, without saying another word or glancing back. As soon as I thought he was good and far away, I opened the door and slipped inside.

* * * * *

I walked through the tunnel that leads from the mansion to V and Butch’s small gatehouse. I slowly opened the door up into their place and paused to look around. There was a huge plasma screen TV against one wall, which was now playing reruns from last night’s baseball game. There were two expensive leather couches facing the TV. Against the opposite wall, there were four computers that could have been taken from the security at the White House or some other place.

There were also two doorways, one leading into the kitchen and one leading to a hallway. Seeing that V wasn’t here, I checked the kitchen first. All that was in there was empty vodka and beer bottles. So, as much as V would hate me, I headed for his bedroom. The door was closed when I got there, so I had to quietly open it, hoping V wouldn’t get too mad at me for bothering him. Once I was inside, I closed the door just as quietly. I looked around and noticed that it looked just about like every other room in the mansion. It had a bureau and closet on one side and a huge bed covered in silk sheets.

When I looked at the bed, I saw Vishous sitting there with his face in his palms. He breathed in deeply, I knew that he could smell me but he just sat there. After a while, he finally spoke.

“I suppose you want to know why I paled, freaked out and then ran, huh?” He paused just to turn around to look at me. I noticed there was great sorrow in those beautiful diamond eyes.

“I dreamt of you, that’s why.” He said but spoke again more seriously when I started to blush at that. “But not in a good way, trust me. You don’t know much about my ability to see the future do you? Well, I usually tend to only get visions when something really bad is going to happen but I never get the ‘when’. So you can only imagine the pain I go through, knowing someone I know or love is about to be hurt, or worse.” He takes a deep breath after he finished, and placed his face back in his palms.

Wow! Maybe he really does care, it’s just he doesn’t know how to express himself. I thought as I walked over to the bed.

“I guess you could say that.” He said, reading my thoughts. He gave a slight smile, which was more of a smirk since he probably doesn’t know how to really smile.

I sat down on the bed and waited to see if anything happened. All he did, though, was move slightly away. I cringed at that, wandering what had occurred in the dream that made him act this way.

“V, I… ah. I don’t know what to say. I mean, whatever it is, I’m sure there’s some way to avoid the situation or get out of. So stop worrying about it and let me in.” I said before hugging him around his chest.

He sat there, not moving a muscle at first but then he pulled me closer and hugged me back. It actually felt really nice and he felt so warm. I actually started to snuggle against him, when he lightly kissed the top of my head.

“I suppose we can get through it together.” He said while continuing to kiss my head.

“Yes, as long as you care for me as much as I care for you.” I said without thinking. When I realized what I said, I quickly spoke, “I mean… ah… ah…”

“It’s alright. I do care about you.”

Chapter 3


I spent the last two hours talking and laughing with V. We had talked about his family and the Brothers.

“So… May I ask about what was in your vision of me or are you still uncomfortable about it?” I asked, trying not to push him too far. But all he did was quietly scan over his four computers. I nudged him softly, trying to get him to at least say something.

“I’d rather not. But I will tell you something.” He paused to look up into my eyes. “Ever since my transition, I have been having dreams of a beautiful girl and me spending the rest of our lives together.”

I frowned, wishing it could have been me that he had the visions of. I moved over to one of the couches and sat down, not wanting him to see my sadness that was probably clear on my face.

He came towards and knelt down beside me. “It was you, dummy.” He said, actually smiling for the first time. It was rather beautiful, especially since it was on his face.

“But for the longest time, I thought they were just dreams and not visions. And when I had that horrible vision of you earlier, I hadn’t really worried. I thought it was nothing more than a nightmare. But when I saw your face for the first time, I couldn’t believe it. I was happy and furious at the same time. Happy that you were real and that those dreams could actually be visions. But that would mean that nightmare was real, so I became furious. I thought if I wasn’t in your life, it wouldn’t happen. But now I want you to be in my life.”

All I could do was smile. But after a moment or two, I began to notice a pang of pain in my chest, like my heart was going to explode. I grabbed my chest and began to rub it, as if it the pain would go away if she did. But it continued and even started to get worse, spreading across my entire chest and into my muscles. And then I felt like I couldn’t breathe. As I gasped for air, V finally noticed something wasn’t right.

“It’s the transition, isn’t it?” He said frowning and looking around for anyone that could help. “You have a hellren, right? Someone who could give you his blood so you can survive.” When I shook my head ‘no’ at the last question, his frown deepened and pulled his cap off to wipe sweat off his forehead.

“Alright, I guess that leaves me to do the job.” He said picking me up, as if I weighed nothing, off the couch and carried me to his room. He gently placed me on his bed and took my shoes and jacket off because he too noticed that I was getting a fever.

He then placed himself beside me, holding onto to me. As the pain finally reached my entire body, I couldn’t hold my scream in any longer. He held onto me tighter, almost squeezing me from the pain he felt from my scream. After my throat became numb, I ceased screaming. That’s when I noticed that V had his wrist at my mouth, with a small cut across it.

He nodded towards it and pushed it towards my mouth. But before I could say or do anything, another pang of pain shot through my entire body, causing yet another scream to rip through my throat. This went on for a couple of hours, with no end in sight.

Once it calmed, I quickly grabbed onto his wrist and took his vein. As the blood slide down my throat, I actually felt relief from the pain. Even comfortable as I felt his emotions and heard his thoughts, which were calm and soothing. Through them, he kept telling me everything was going to be all right. And soon afterwards it was all right. As I passed out, his visions of us together passed through my mind, relaxing me into a deep sleep.

* * * * *

When I woke up, I was all sweaty and too warm. I threw the covers off and was about to get up, when I couldn’t get anywhere. V had wrapped his arms around my waist and wouldn’t let go. And yet he was sound asleep, leading me to believe that he refused to let go of me, even while he was unconscious. Lying back down, I gently removed his cap and ran my hands through his. He sighed deeply, as if he was comforted by the action and then snuggled his head against my neck. We laid there like that for at least a good half hour, just him asleep and me running my on through is hair.

Finally, he woke up with a loud yawn and stretched out his arms. He then looked back down at me and smiled, something I was beginning to really like on him.

“How are you feeling, better? I’m guessing it’s either over or you’re in a calm period before it starts again.” He said as he brushed my hair out of my face.

I just nodded, trying to stretch but my muscles stung the second I tried. So I just laid there trying not to move much. Then I felt the bed rise up next to me and saw that he was heading out of the room. Panic began in swell up in my chest. What if the pain came back before he did? What if I somehow died while he was gone doing whatever.

“Calm down, calm down.” He said quickly coming back, trying to soothe me. “I’m just getting you something to eat and drink. So relax, I’ll be right back.” He said patting my head and then leaving.

While he was gone, I thought about his dreams. They were very vivid, showing every little detail of my face as he kissed me in one vision. I lifted my hand and felt my lips, the visions actually felt real.

I also began to wonder if V would actually be willing to take me as his shellan, and how wonderful life would be like with him. I also wondered if he would place my name on his back, making me his one and only mate. She even went as far as wandering if he would allow her to have child. Most mated males would not allow their females to have children, only because 99% of the time the females died during child birth. At that she shuddered, pushing those thoughts from her head.

That’s when I made up my mind. I was going to be his shellan. The second he came back, she would propose it to him. Hopefully he’ll agree. I mean, come on, he did have visions of us together, so he couldn’t deny that he would eventually, if he didn’t already, love me.

As if answering my thoughts, I smelled dark spices coming off V, even though he wasn’t in the room. That could only mean one thing, he did want to bond with me and make me his shellan.

The door swung open, with a loud bang. I turned my head to see V standing there. He had a full on smile on his face and was staring right at her as if he meant to do something.

“Of course I want you to be my mate. And I would love to…” He pauses, as if he was actually shy about what he was about to say. “Yes, I would love to bond myself to you.” He finally said before closing the door and spending the rest of the night “bonding” with me.
Chapter 4

The next morning, I woke up to find Vishous wasn’t in bed, let alone in the room. So I got up, still a little sore from the transition and the… I paused getting out of the bed, just now realizing what had happened last night.

We bonded. I thought, actually not believing it. I lifted my arm up and held it to my nose. I smelled like Vishous and dark spices. Yep, definitely bonded. Wow, Vishous had bonded with me and now I was forever his mate.

This was going to be interesting when I had to tell my parents that I found my hellren and that I wasn’t going to be living with them anymore. I guess I would have to deal with that later. Right now, I’m starving. I started putting on my clothes, realizing there was nothing left to them. I blushed remembering last night and quickly went into V’s closet to get a robe. Afterwards, I headed into the kitchen to find V, Butch, and Rhage laughing and having a good time.

I paused in the doorway, afraid V might not want the others knowing about us. AS soon as I tried to back away, V looked up at me. But his face was different; he had a possessive look as he stared at me. I had a feeling that I was going to be the only one that ever got that look and going to get it very often, too. Then he swiftly picked me up to give me a kiss.

“Hello, tahlly.” He said, using the endearment that meant ‘darling’ in the Old Language. How sweet. I thought as he placed me back down and ushered me into the kitchen. All Butch and Rhage could do was stare.

“Geez, man. You made fast work of bonding with her. Didn’t you just meet her last night?” Rhage said smirking and swinging his arm around V’s shoulders.

“This is coming from a man who would have pounced on anything female the moment she came into his live of vision?” V said laughing as Rhage got all upset.

“Yeah, well… Are you forgetting I, too, am mated now?” Rhage finally said, after obviously not finding a better comeback.

While V and Rhage continued to argue about their mates and how long it took before bonding with them, Butch just shook his head laughing.

“Congratulations, Clarissa but also good luck. You’ll need it with him.” He said while coming over to her. “There’s one thing you need to about my man, V. It’s that he snores. And when I mean he snores, I mean he sounds like a train is coming through the bedroom. I suppose I should warn that he tends to walk around in nothing but boxers but I guess I really don’t have to now that you’re his mate.” He said before going over to V and Rhage, to playfully break them up, actually winding up in a play fight.

When V finally got away, he came up behind me and hugged me as he kissed my neck. “How about we head to the main house. I’m sure Fritz, if not the girls, is making breakfast.” He said as he gently grabbed my hand and led me to the door that leads to the main house.

“But… I don’t have any clothes on.” I said, pausing when V gave me a heated look. “Hey now, you know what I mean. All I have on is a robe and I’d prefer eating food with others, in clothes.”

He sighed, obviously disappointed for some reason and then led me back to his room. He gave me one of shirts and a pair of his pants, both of which were humongous on me. I looked up about to complain, when I saw he took much pride in knowing I was wearing his clothes. So, knowing it made him happy, I didn’t complain and headed for the main house like that.

* * * * *

After breakfast, which happened to be amusing due to the fact that big, strong vampire warriors and food fights don’t mix. The other warriors headed into Wrath’s study but V stayed behind.

“I need to go see my parents, V. I need to let them know that I’m mated now and that I’ll be safe here with you.” I said, noticing he gave a doubtful and yet sorrowful look about the last part. “Relax, I know I will be safe with you. Just forget about the dream for now.”

He just nodded and grabbed my hand as we headed for the front door. Once we were outside, I could see the stars in the night sky.

This was our daytime, we sleep during the daylight hours and remain awake during the nighttime hours. Otherwise we would burn slightly from the sun and then disintegrate if our skin is continually exposed to sunlight.

We continued walking until we came to his Escalade, which he helped me get into and then got into the driver’s side himself.

“Okay, if we’re going to see you’re parents, I’m going in with you.” He said, pausing as I gave a pained look. “Yes, I’m going in. I would like to meet the vampires that gave me my mate. That and, I don’t want to let you out of my sight, since I don’t know when my dream will occur.” He said as he headed down Route. When we got to my parent’s house, he parked in front and just sat there.

“Nice place, but to be honest… Our place is better. Especially a lot more safe, with all my high-tech security. So I see what you mean by me being safer.” He said trying to lighten the mood with humor.

Not working, I thought as I grinded my teeth. I really was dreading this. I was hoping to go in alone, that way I could lie and tell my parents that my mate wasn’t a Brother. But I suppose that wouldn’t work either, unless I had man with me they wouldn’t believe anything I said. Besides, if it meant a lot to V, then so be it.

We got out of the car and headed up to the front door. I paused for a second, trying to come up with some excuse to leave but then opened the door. As I opened it, my parent’s doggen, greeted us.

“Hello, my lady.” He said bowing before taking my coat. “Your parents our in the study. Do you wish to be announced before entering or not?” He said as he placed my coat in the closet.

“No, that’s fine. I want to surprise them.” I said and then he left me and V alone. “Here goes nothing.” I said to myself and headed into the study.

“Where have you been?! We’ve been worried,” My mahmen said sternly as she came over to me and embraced me with a tight hug.

“I’m fine, mahmen. Really I’m fine. But I would like for you to meet my hellren, Vishous.” I said stepping out of her embrace and into V’s. All my mother did was stare in horror.

“But… But.. We already found you a mate. He is really fine, not so scary of a mate. Are you sure about this? Because it’s not too late to take this back, you haven’t had the ceremony yet.”

I nodded and then looked up to V. He was smiling back at me, as happy as I was. He then stepped forward, holding me behind me. And then got down onto one knee before my mother.

“It is a pleasure to meet you. I vow to take care of her and to keep her safe. I will never hurt her, much less, allow another to harm her.” He said, probably trying to persuade my mother into loving him.

“Well, I suppose it is a pleasure to meet you too.” She said to him, before turning her attention me. “But we must talk about this with your father first.

* * * * *

After speaking with my mahmen and father about everything, they finally accepted Vishous. And right now, we where heading home.

“Oh wait, I think I should bring some of my stuff with me. Don’t you think?” So he drove me back.

“I’ll be right back. You don’t have to come with me this time. Okay?” I said before he could remove his seat belt.

“Alright. You have 10 minutes to get some of yourself, or I’ll come in there, and you’re parents won’t like me after that.” He said giving me a stern look and then kissed the top of my head.

I headed back to the house, which was a somewhat long of a walk from the sidewalk. As I walked down the walkway, I noticed a shadow among the trees. Thinking it was just an animal, I thought nothing else of it. But once I reached the front door, I wish I had thought more.

I was grabbed from behind by someone strong unknown male. I tried to struggle against his hold but then another pair of hands held onto me as well. Then I heard an awful sound, almost like an animalistic roar. It was Vishous. But all I could remember next was being hit against the head and everything going black.
Chapter 5


I woke rather groggy, not knowing what happened at all. Let alone what day or time it was. But all I did know was, I was tied down by arms and legs to a metal table. And I could hear sounds and voices coming from the background. And also the faint scent of baby powder.

At that thought my heart almost stopped. Lessers. Lessers were soulless humans. They targeted vampires for extermination, they especially wanted to kill the Brothers.

That’s why I was here, I’d obviously been seen with a Brother, Vishous, and so I was to be bait. They would come looking for me and then the Lessers would try and kill them. Most of the time they didn’t succeed, they’ve only killed one Brother as of yet. But they never stop trying.

Back to being where I am, I tried to pull the ties off but I had no strength. So I looked around me, to find anything close to use. Alas, nothing. But that’s when I noticed my two who kidnapped me.

Both had blonde hair, blushless skin, and pale eyes. Definitely older Lessers. Over time, Lessers would lose pigmentation in their hair, skin, and eyes. And worst of all, Lessers smelled of baby powder. And the air around the room was thick with the scent, almost to the point were was I gagging.

But I also noticed one was more muscled and the other was taller. The Brothers might have a somewhat of a tough time defeating these guys. As I continued to watch them and their habits, the one the taller one, probably the boss, turned his attention to me.

“Well now, our pet is awake.” He said grinning as I hissed at him for calling me a pet. He came over, I noticed what he and the other man were doing. I sat lied there in horror.

They had been torturing another vampire. His left arm was broken at the elbow and his chest was completely shredded. And his face, along with everywhere else, was all bloody to the point where I couldn’t distinguish his features.

I started hyperventilating at that point, dreading what they would do to me. I looked up at the man near me, trying not to actually beg for my life. I suppose my death was for the best, at least that way, Vishous would still be alive.
But as I thought that, a loud bang was heard from the opposite end of the room. Two Lessers were thrown through the doorway but vanished in light, obviously killed, before hitting the ground.

Next I saw Vishous standing in the doorway, panting heavily as if he were trying to hold himself back from attacking right then and there. Then he slowly removed the glove from his left hand and tossed it carelessly to the side. On that hand, bared the same interlocking tattoos as the one on his temple. The tattoos covered his entire hand, even in between his fingers.

The next thing I knew, objects started bursting into flames wherever he touched them. He ran for the other Lesser, that was with the leader, and grabbed him by the throat with his right hand.

I noticed the other Brothers where just standing there in the doorway, probably to scared of Vishous’ powers to interfere. Even Wrath, looked slightly afraid.

I turned my stare back to Vishous and saw him slowly lift his left hand to the Lessers’ face. He then placed his hand across his face and watched intently as the Lesser slowly and painfully disintegrated.

He dropped his grip and let the Lesser drop to the floor as he continued to disintegrate. He looked to me, with sorrow in his eyes, but quickly turned his attention to the last Lesser.

He then attacked the Lesser but the Lesser fought back. At that, I couldn’t watch, especially if Vishous were to be hurt. All I could hear was flesh hitting flesh and several grunts of pain.

Finally silence.

I looked up to see Vishous lying on the floor bloody and Lesser running away as Phury and Zsadist chased after him. Rhage came over to untie me, as Torhment and Wrath took care of Vishous.

As soon as I could, I ran over to Vishous and held him in my arms. From what I could see, he was covered in injuries everywhere and… and…

I couldn’t breathe from what else I saw. His throat was slit and he was quietly gasping for air. He obviously didn’t have much strength left but he used what little he had to hold onto me and kiss me.

“If you want him to survive,” Torhment said breaking the silence. “You’ll have to give him your blood. With your blood, he’ll be able to completely heal. Otherwise you’ll lose him.” He finished saying as he knelt down beside me.

Without even thinking, I cut my wrist and placed it at Vishous’ mouth. At first he refused, not wanting to hurt me. But after a little encouragement from me, he finally drank my blood.

At first, nothing happened. It took a couple a minutes for my blood to sink in and then the slit started to close before my eyes. As he continued to drink, the rest of his injuries healed as well.

Phury and Zsadist came back as V was almost finished.

“Did you take care of him?” Both Wrath and Torhment commanded at the same time. Wrath may be King of all vampires but Torhment was the leader of the Brotherhood. They both looked at each with respect.

Zsadist just nodded but kept watching me. Phury was the one who replied, “Yes, it wasn’t easy. He almost broke my prosthetic leg and he got Z pretty bad but he is down for the count. Hopefully for good this time.” He said, which made me wonder if Lessers really couldn’t die as long as their ruler, the Omega, wished it.

Finally Vishous was done, as soon as he was, he grabbed hold of me and wouldn’t let go.

“It’s alright, Vishous. I told you everything was going to be fine.” I said, laughing as he glared at me.

“Not funny. For all you know, they could have killed you before I even found you. You’re lucky my blood is in your system, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to track you to here.” He said before kissing the top of my head.

“Even so, we both ended up alive. And here you thought the entire time that you were going to lose me.” I said getting up and then helping him up.

“What? I never thought I was going to lose you. Remember, I had visions of us together. We still haven’t had 10 million children yet.” He said laughing as I looked at him with shock.

Looks like I’m going to be busy for the next 10 million years.
So let me know what you think of my Fan Fiction. I'll put up the final copy when it's finished.
