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.

The butler brought the tea and biscuits, pouring the tea for Eve before he excused himself out of the study room. Vincent stood in front of a small table on which many different alcohol bottles sat. 

"What did you want to talk about?" Eve asked him, feeling the warmth of the cup on her hands. 

Vincent took a sip of alcohol from the glass with his back facing Eve. 

"Strangely, I cannot remember what I wanted to talk about," came the thoughtful words from him, and Eve glared at him. "Did you have any new premonitions? Jumped out of the window?" 

Eve shook her head, "Thankfully not. I… tied my leg with the bed sheet and tied the other end to the bedpost." 

"Precaution, I like it. It would be sad to see you flat on the ground if you were to jump," Vincent took another sip from his glass. 

Ignoring his sarcastic remarks, Eve asked him, "Did you hear anything from the authorities about Lady Camille?"
