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.

Caught off guard

The following day, Eve slept a little longer than she usually did. Tired from the little trip she had taken to the town of Hollow Valley the previous evening. 

When the curtains of her room were suddenly pushed aside, Eve frowned and squinted  through her eyelashes and saw Eugene tying the ends of the curtain and opening the windows of her room. 

"Good morning, Miss Eve. Did you sleep well?" he asked her. 

"Mm, I think. What time is it?" Eve asked him while wanting to stay in bed a little longer today. 

"I would say you have a good thirty minutes left before you head out to leave for Skellington," replied Eugene, and Eve's eyes snapped to look at the clock on the wall. 

"Oh no!" She quickly pushed the blanket away from her and placed her feet on the ground. She started to pick up her things from the cupboard. "Why didn't you wake me sooner?"
