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 sick day

"Achoo—Choo!" 

Eve sniffled, using her handkerchief on her nose. She stood in front of the kitchen stove, watching the water boiling in the vessel.

"You didn't get the water out of your hair after getting out of the river," Lady Aubrey entered the kitchen, lightly scolding Eve. "Do you have a headache?" She asked in concern. 

"It is bearable," replied Eve, and she widened her eyes before it turned small. "I will feel better after drinking the tea."

"Here, let me do it," Lady Aubrey offered, taking Eve's place in front of the stove while Eve packed her lunch box. "I wonder what's taking Eugene this long today, he should have been back by now."
