Vivian stood at the far corner of the crowd of the hundred candidates who had come to take part in the annual examination of the council so that they could be part of the law. She looked at the crowd, a mix of human, vampires and pureblooded vampires had come to attend it in the hope to be able to work for them. If someone had asked her a year ago if she would be standing anywhere near the council she would have stared at them for their ridiculous question but now that she was here, she calmed down her…

"Raped?" she whispered, as the wind picked its pace ruffling both their hair. Some strands of her hair stuck to her face. "It is a secret in the public but not in the family. Wilhelhum was Nicholas' mother, Louise's paternal uncle. To hush the matter, her parents arranged for a wedding to take place but she ran away, pregnant with Nicholas," as Leonard explained, Vivian had already begun to formulate her theory of what she had seen today. If her calculation was right, Nicholas would have lived with…

Seeing that there was no around, Vivian wondered what was the snap sound of twigs she had just heard of. The weather around the council was one of a clear sky. The Sun now hovered above her, rays of light a little harsh as she had gotten used to the rain and clouds of the land of Bonelake. If it weren't for the trees around her, her skin would have felt the harsh heat of this part of the land. Just as was staring up at the trees she heard another snap sound which made her heart shudder and thump. It was…

Vivian's days went on to have her nose buried between the books. Knowing that females were rarely chosen to be part of the council, she studied harder. In the morning she would read the number of pages assigned by Leonard and in the evening Leo would sit with her, discussing the scenarios of what if's along with the edicates she had learned. Sometimes at night, she would burn the lamp in her room so that she could revise again what she had learned that day. After finishing the book of edicates, she went…

Vivian who sat in the study room stared at the writings of the pages, her eyes feeling blurry as she felt hours had passed by since she had sat to read the book. With her previous faint knowledge thanks to Lord Nicholas, she had a brief idea on what the Edicts were about. Seeing the number '02' next to the name, she came to believe it must be the updated book. The Edicts were rules to follow by every citizen of the four lands- Valeria, Mythweald, Woville and Bonelake. Rules that set laws so that the…

As usual, the rain showed no mercy on the land of Bonelake. The clouds growled and threatened each other in the sky, light spilling in a streak of lines from it. Vivian stood at the window, looking at the drops of water slide down the transparent glass which blurred the outside world. Drops after drops fell on and down the glass, able to see her reflection she peeked a little closer to see the ground plopping with water droplets causing a continuous splash. "Vivi!" She turned around by the call of…

The water like a liquid in the little glass bottle shone under the small lamp where they stood. Leonard had said it didn't affect humans, so would her consuming help them any close to the truth of who was creating such deadly potion against the entire race of vampires so that they could eradicate them completely. All this time, she had only felt and seen the memories through her fingers. Never once had she seen a memory where she remembered who had cooked the food or where the food came from. She…

Vivian didn't know what to make of Leo's words. Though the weather was warm her fingers felt cold at what she had just seen. He had admitted being the one responsible for those people's death who was hung on the trees that they had just passed by, yet she found it hard in herself to believe it. As she had never seen Rory, she didn't know if Leonard had killed him too but why? The man loved Charlotte. During Leonard and the other Duke's conversation, she had come to hear that human were the ones who had…

When the door of his house knocked, Rory's eyes flew open at who would be at the door at this hour of the night. With one of the sheep missing, he had gone searching until late at night in the meadows which went in vain as he couldn't find it after hours of searching. He wondered if Ester had arrived at the door. The black witch was the only who came and went during the odd hours of the night; not revealing herself completely as she always had a hood to cover her face. Padding across the dusty ground,…

*A few weeks ago* In the time of the ungodly hour of midnight when men, women, and children slept in their houses peacefully, the moon shone brightly in the sky, the golden tint of luminous spilling on the land of the South as a girl in a hood walked through the narrow path of the passages. Footsteps quiet as a cat, the girl drifted like a ghost, passing through a couple of houses and leaving them behind to walk to the edge of the forest where men stood talking to each other in a hushed tone. The…
