Allure Of The Night

[Mature Content] The body of a mermaid is a vault of treasures. Their tears formed the most splendid of pearls, their exquisite blood a euphoric drug for vampires, their luscious hair woven into the finest of silk, and their tender meat sought after by werewolves more than Heaven’s ambrosia. The creatures of night mingled within human society, fleeced in the wool of aristocracy, veiled in their portrayed innocence and nobility, their savagery continued to predate on the weak and powerless. Genevieve Barlow, Eve for short, was an exceptionally strange young lady. She had an alluring and beguiling nature, where for her twenty-four year old self had barely changed in appearance since her eighteenth birthday. She had fooled the administration and had gotten a degree so that she could have a better life. Most odd of all was that Eve had a secret she shared with no one. She enters the house of Moriarty, not just to earn but also to find answers on what happened to her mother nearly two decades ago. Unfortunately, things do not always proceed as one planned. Despite her cautious nature and desire to stay out of sight, a cold pair of eyes falls on her, that soon refuses to leave her out of sight.

A night of distress

Music Recommendation: The Burnt Orange Hersey theme- Craig Armstrong

When the siren had opened her mouth, there was a glimmer of cunningness in her snake-like eyes as if she knew Eve was not a human and was ready to tell her secret. For a moment, it had Eve's heart stumble in her chest, fear forming in her own eyes, which disappeared on seeing the siren's head being severed from her body. 

"Was she your friend?" Vincent casually questioned her while taking another drag from the cigar and blowing the smoke from his mouth. 

"We have exchanged a few words in the past. Pleasantries," replied Eve, softly gulping at the sight of the dead body that the people of the Meadow now surrounded. 

Eve watched the guards catch hold of the dead body, and the head of the guard caught hold of the siren's head, where her eyes had turned opaquely white and her jagged teeth clearly visible.
