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.

"Do you have a parchment in here?" Inquired Eve when she took a look at Aunt Aubrey's writing table. 

"You will find it in the right drawer," answered Aunt Aubrey before expressing her thoughts on the Moriarty family, "It seems like Mrs. Moriarty finds it hard to look at the poor. Do you know what happened to the previous Mrs. Moriarty?" 

Eve shook her head, "I never asked," and she picked up the quill to dip it in the ink bottle. 

"Whom are you writing to?" Lady Aubrey asked, noticing Eve writing something on the parchment with utmost care. 

"It is to Mr. Sullivan that we won't be able to meet him for lunch tomorrow," replied Eve. 

Lady Aubrey smiled, "Just because I am not able to, doesn't mean you and Eugene cannot. Don't worry about me. I just need a little rest."

Eve shook her head, "It wouldn't be right to leave you here all alone."
