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.

Some day in the future

Eve stepped inside the house with her hands full, and Aunt Aubrey, who was sitting in her resting chair in the living room, caught sight of it. The older woman peered through her reading glasses and said, 

"I thought I heard the carriage stop in front of the house."

"Ah yes. I ran into someone whom I met last Sunday and she dropped me home," replied Eve, while placing the umbrella at the stand. 

"Must have been a nice person?" Aunt Aubrey asked and Eve gave a second before she nodded. "Was it the Moriarty's who handed these to you?" she asked, looking at Eve walk into the living room. 

"It was from Lady Marceline. Allie's elder sister gave it to me," replied Eve, carefully placing the gowns on one of the empty cushioned chairs. "She invited me for this upcoming  ball that is going to be held in the Moriarty mansion, two weeks from now. She said I might need these clothes."
