Beauty and the Immortal: It started with a dig

[Mature Content] Some things are best left undisturbed for a reason. Especially ones that are buried in the ground.  Thirteen years after the incident at Winchester Manor, Mallory Winchester resides with her uncle and his family. She is to wed a baron. However, Mallory faces betrayal. Desperate, she sets out looking for the buried artefact that she once believed was a joke told by her grandmother.  But what do you do if you don't find the object, but a person instead? And not just any person, but an immortal being who was never meant to see daylight ever again.  Mallory is convinced that whoever created Hadeon Van Doren must have mixed in generous doses of evil, sadistic nature, and dangerously handsome looks. Now, besides her initial problem, she must find a manual to tame this person who is looking at her as if she is his next meal, as well as tame her.

Say AHHH

Though the shopkeeper had been rude, Mallory didn't believe he deserved death. She found it rather extreme. On the other hand, Hadeon was still stunned, captivated by the warmth of her hand holding his.

"I—I am sorry," the shopkeeper apologised with great difficulty. "I will give you a bowl of soup and bread for free. Why one? Take two bowls. One for the lady and one for the sire," he nervously smiled, ready to get rid of them. 

"Unfortunate or fortunately, I prefer nice warm blood to a bowl of soup," Hadeon replied, dissatisfied with the man's apology and he revealed his fangs as he smiled. The shopkeeper turned too nervous to the point of fainting on the ground, and the pureblooded vampire sighed. He murmured, "That wasn't fun at all."

Mallory was glad that it was over because they had attracted a fair amount of attention. With no money on their hands, it would mean they would have to scout for food in the forest, not that it was a bad thing.
