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.

Twist of the invitation

Lady Aubrey took a sip from her teacup, letting the warm liquid slide down her throat while looking at Eve, who stood in front of the stove, watching the milk heat up. 

"Before the siren was beheaded, she—"

"I saw," replied the elderly woman. Having protected Eve all these years, the woman had turned sharper when noticing where people were looking. 

"Until today, she never realised it. Do you think something happened that let her know?" Eve picked up the warm vessel of milk, and poured it into a glass. 

Lady Aubrey asked her, "We don't have much information about mermaids or sirens. The local library in the town doesn't have anything about it, does it?" 

Eve shook her head, "Not a word about any creatures."

The higher society held back all the information to themselves, while keeping the lower class in the dark.
