return tenfold, if it wasn’t for him she wouldn’t be here now, if it wasn’t for him she wouldn’t have to go against what she believed in, which was slayers and vampires do not mesh ,and if it wasn’t for him father would never have done something so stupid , so all in all she was going to blame him .But other than that he was quite handsome.

His black hair was tousled; His grey eyes narrowed as he glared at the red headed female who was standing before him.

“So Brother how does it feel?”She asked as a malicious smile stretched across her full lips

“How does what feel?”He snapped his grey irises transfixed on her face

“How does if feel to know, that you will die by the hands of your baby sister” He threw his head back as he laughed Auna could feel the rich timbre of his voice down to the sole of her feet , and she liked it .liked what it reminded her of ....her child hood ,her family the laughs they shared She closed her eyes tightly trying to force back the tears which threatened to escape she hung her head so that her hair could fall over her face no one was ever going to see her like this . Ceddrick met his sister’s fiery gaze again then said

“Don’t be silly lass “

“Silly! Silly!” Her voice began to rise gradually “The only person being silly is father, Andrew wants nothing to do with the council ......and you, you are irresponsible, how can an incorrigible philander ing bum like you rise to that position. I should be queen not that little tart she said as she pointed a polished nail at Auna.

Ceddrick looked in the direction his sister was pointing. A pale female with raven coloured locks was kneeling on the floor her hands tied behind her back as she hung her head. She would be his queen ?......wait of course it was that simple who could think as low as his baby sister, if she killed them both she would basically become the queen of the council .Didn’t his father ever think of the possible threats, risks that this arrangement would have on him ...His future wife .But in truth thinking about it now his father really isn’t to be blamed if he’d been with her this probably wouldn’t have happened, probably.

Realization had finally hit Evaline

, A throng of immortals stood in utter silence watching them, absorbing everything like a sponge .Evaline turned her attention to them for a brief moment then said

” leave us” She cast nasty looks at immortals who weren’t moving they were either deaf or just plain stupid.

"Leave"Evaline repaeted her voice holding a threatening tone


Ceddrick watched as immortals of all size scurried out of the room ,of course with the exception of the guards who stood at their backs .

Evaline turned her head a small smile travelling the length of her crimson lips

“Any last wishes brother, since tomorrow you will be joining mother ,where ever she has gone”

“yes I wish my sister wasn’t an evil contemptuous bitch “Ceddrick felt the impact of the blow it still stung where she’d struck for a good second or two

“Take them away “ she bit out .

The guards hauled Auna to her feet and pushed her along she glanced up from under her mane of hair to look at Ceddrick just to catch him staring at her .She didn’t know if it was possible ,but she heard him .her lips thinned and her face which had once been flushed was now pale, her entire countenance was ashen .As The guards escorted her back to her cell she kept on replaying what he’d said over and over again

“I’ll come for you “


Embracing The Night:Chapter Five

Brooke ran slim fingers through her mane of golden curls then said “I can’t seem to fathom this dilemma at all “She said as she turned to face James who was staring out the car window

“I can’t understand most things in life, like women for one and I’ve been alive for three hundred years “he chuckled as he turned his gaze to her

“Why do you trivialize things like these “She asked as she took a quick glance at him before turning her attention to the road.

“Because life is more enjoyable that way, well for me at least “she sighed then shook her head slowly, then said

“Only you James, only you “she said as she pulled up across the street from the hotel ,pushing the door of the red porche open she stepped out of the car closing the door behing her

“That’s right babe, only me “He said as he stepped out of the car. She rolled her eyes and followed after him her red stilettos clicking on the pavement .

‘Let’s just get this over with “she said nonchalantly when she finally caught up to him .He offered his arm to her and said
“And so we shall”

she placed her arm in his and sighed if she had to endure this for another hour she would kill herself .As they made their way in he lobby she realize that the mortals were staring at them men and female alike .she sidled up closer to James ,probably they’d think they were together and would stop staring and she as right they’d stopped staring right that instant some sighing with disappointment she just gave an inward shiver she can’t believe they thought they were together ,James was an ok guy an all but just not her type . As they approached the petite blonde at the front desk James dropped her hand.

“Um....good night do you have a guest by the name Auna Preston” she looked up from the book she was currently reading and her cheeks flushed a faint almost undetectable smile travelling the length of her lip

“Um...I..I.”After an episode of stuttering she’d finally regain her ability of speech ,running a hand through her auburn hair she said

“just let me check the system “

James turned to Brooke a pleasant smirk on his face ,she rolled her eyes and folded her arms across her chest ,James turned his attention back to the woman standing before him

“Um...Yes we do, but may I ask what this is about?” she asked

“It’s kind of private Hun...so if you don’t mind could you tell us what room she’s in .Please um.......” glancing quickly at her id he said “Amber”

Her cheeks flushed a Bright red ,Smiling she said

“Fine but I can get in trouble for this “

‘Thanks , this means a lot” he said with a smile

She blushed and tucked a strand behind her ear then said

“Suite 606 .and um...... “She looked around then handed the key card to James

“Just in case she’s asleep or something “She smiled

“Thanks a lot, have a good night “he said as he took Brooke’s arm in his “

“You know could have just persuaded her” she said

“That wouldn’t be any fun, now would it “he said as he looked at her .she only scoffed and shook her head . When they’d made it to the elevator she sighed with relief just before they’d reached the elevator she’d caught people staring at them .Again.

“Mortals are so creepy sometimes “she said as she removed her hand from his
“You’re a 100 year old immortal trained basically since birth to kill vampires and you’re afraid of mortals” he said as he pressed the button which indicated floor 6 the doors began to close slowly and she glared at him .

“Hey i said they were creepy”

“Hmmm, right .just keep telling yourself that .You might just convince yourself of that “he said as he looked at her his eyes were filled with amusement

“whatever”she said as she folded her arms across her chest ."Let's just get this over with "

There was a loud ding and the doors of the elevator opened slowly. They walked out into a quiet hallway .An unattended trolly was parked at a door ,where a lady in her mid thrities soon emerged carrying folded sheets and towels ,Brooke just hoped Auna was still in her room sleeping or she'd gone to a near by library .

.......................................................................................

His brother was right ,the pale lass was a beauty ,not what he would have chosen for a wife, he always preferred blondes ,red heads and brunettes .But she would do ..if he was planning on marrying her .In the next 5 minutes the guard would appear again , to make his nightly rounds which he did every two hours, for some reason they never shackled his ankles and he’d decided to take this opportunity to try and escape.Ceddrick cleared his mind and slowly let his body begin to drift. Until he felt totally detached from the world. The sound of metal meeting metal grew, louder and louder by the nano second .But it stopped when the guard approached his cell.

He found it empty, He uttered a profanity, as he fumbled with the keys at his side until he found the right one. The cell gate creaked open and the guard walked in his sword clutched in his hand .Ceddrick waited patiently until the guard’s back was turned to him completely ,he draped the shackle around his neck. The sword went to the floor with a clatter as the guards hand shot to his throat to pull at the cool metal which pressed against his throat. but if thor were to leave this place tonight, this man had to stop breathing. His hands finally fell to his side, limp. Ceddrick let him fall then stooped beside him to find the key to his bonds. Seconds later he was free from his shackles but just mere chocking would not kill an immortal .He collected the guards sword and with one fluid swing ,decapitated him.

Auna sat quietly in her cell as she mentally scrapped plan after plan .How was she going to get out of here if she couldn’t come up with A decent plan . With a frustrated sigh she closed her eyes. But opened them quickly when she heard the door of her cell open slowly with grating creeks ,a large male emerge from the shadowy depts of the passage way carrying a sword her eyes widened did they intend to slaughter her like a trapped animal if so, they
