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.

Unkempt cellar

Vincent and Eve took the key to the cellar room from Carla and walked down the stoney spiral stairways of the mansion. With each carrying a lantern, they continued to make their way through the darkness. 

"I cannot deny that this mansion is spookier than I first thought," Eve remarked. Her eyes fell on the cobwebs that decorated the corners of the walls and ceilings. 

"This place has been locked away for a long time. In the last few years, there have been barely any people actively using the mansion, which has led to some of the places being untouched. Some of the families are strict on it. Even if they are put in hibernation, they order the housekeepers to not touch anything that is not required to have any attention. Sometimes they're rooms, or sometimes things that hold importance," Vincent explained, while taking the lead ahead of her.
