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.

When Eve took a look inside the velvet bag, she caught sight of gold coins in there. She heard Vincent say, 

"It isn't eighty but fifteen gold coins. To treat your wounds."

Even if Vincent had given her one gold coin, she would have been happy, and she gave him a nod, "Thank you for talking to the people in the council and these coins."

They continued to stand in one of the busy streets of the Hollow Valley. Noticing the mermaid looking disappointed which she tried to hide, Vincent questioned her, 

"How did you turn like this?"

"What?" Eve asked him. 

"Always wanting and trying to help people. When you yourself are an endangered one. Is it because you wished things were different for your mother and you?" Questioned Vincent, his copper-red eyes almost drilling a hole into her eyes. "Did you get into trouble in the past too?"
