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.

Change of weather

Eve shivered from the cold water that had drenched her clothes as she waited for Vincent to surface up the lake, who had dived back into the lake to look for the person she had seen. 

Vincent pushed himself up to the surface of the water, water dripping down his body, and he said, "There's no one there. Just water and some bones." He climbed out of it.

Hearing Vincent's words, Eve's eyebrows knit together, and she wondered whom she saw. She asked, "Bones of mermaids?"

"Animals," Vincent replied. He picked up her coat and draped it around her body.

Eve felt chills run down her body, and it wasn't because of the cold water but because of what she saw under it or whom. She was sure she had seen someone. 

Vincent asked her, "What did you see?"
