The cash machine was a monument to the departed amid a battleground of empty bottles and polystyrene boxes. Gemma groaned as she stood in a kebab, and managed to get her card in on the fifth or sixth try. She punched in her PIN through muscle memory alone. The lurid display informed her she had £3.47 left in her account. Not even enough for a burger, let alone a taxi. She sat down on the kerb started dialling Rob’s number...

PrologueMagic was once abundant in the world: most agree with that.  What people disagree on is how to bring the magic back.Some say the magic will never return, that it is a punishment for past sins.  Some say the magic will return once the sins have been atoned for, or when wrongs have been righted.  Others say that magic can be made abundant again through effort and intelligence. Most say that the world was paradise wh...

The Eyes of AfodisiaMatthias shifted on his cot, more out of restlessness than anything else. If you overlooked the random beatings handed out by Jeoram.  it was almost comfortable. Almost. For a jail cell. He had a mattress on the floor, with a blanket. He had a privy hole. He got fed twice a day, although the food was worthless to him. They'd even given him reading matter. Scripture.As if he hadn't memorized the entire...

The sound of boots on stone echoed as Aurianna made her way down the dungeon steps. This time of night was cool, but her blood simmered in her veins, growing hotter as she drew closer. She was thankful for the dim torchlight in cells, hiding the rosy blush on her skin. “Matthias? I hope I didn’t wake you.”He was sitting in his usual spot, up against the wall. "No, Ari, you didn't wake me." Crimson eyes glanced up at her....

Your skin tingles As your circulation returnsFlushing red Pushing rows of tiny scarlet pearlsThrough pin holesI lift your blindfold To allow you to seeThe rows of red. Your eyes sparkleTears fall silentlyAnd your smile lights the day. "Please Sir," you say through broken voice,"Please Sir.."And you beg me, you plead with me,To fuck you. To fill you. To use you as my play thingMy toy. ButI know you wellI know I can push yo...

There is a lot of bullshit written about vampires. Yes, they do exist, so that’s not a myth, but all the rest, well, the crap people think they know about vampires is mostly nonsense. Firstly, they do not live thousands of years long, and around two hundred years is as good as it gets for them. When their time on earth comes to an end, they go to a remote place and do away with themselves. Fortunately, while they are arou...

I can’t stop thinking about him: his touch, his scorching gaze and deep voice, his teeth sinking into my flesh. Hmm, God, those teeth, penetrating my skin, the small pop when it gave way, the short moment of pain and then that magical heat surging through me. My fingers trace the twin circular scars below the collar of my t-shirt, the proof that my memories are not a dream. I rub my thighs together trying to relieve some...

The tequila burns going down my throat, making me grimace. I quickly bite the lemon to quell the taste in my mouth.  “Aargh… that’s just horrible Cindy,“ I shout to my friend, battling to be heard over Prodigy’s ‘Breathe’ blaring from the speakers. Cindy signals the bartender for another round. "No way, Cindy. Tequila just goes to my head. It makes me do stupid things.” Cindy grins broadly, eyes twinkling with wicked humo...

He put thought's in human heads...Mind controlling he knew He was adept at mass seduction His goal was mass production. He took advantage of my health For his selfish need, and wealth My blood was indeed Something Vampires did need Very rare But did they care All they thought was It tasted so rare He made a fortune Thinking what's the heck While he sat back counting his money While Vamps sucked at my neck My rare blood ty...

The roses tattooed across your tan thighs, Undying ink beneath your smooth skin Will remain, remain Until we die, And then, where will we be? The pier, deserted But for you, A vision in your tight black dress, Red lips, dark hair, Each time I look at you, You haunt the salt white boards There, beneath the vampire moon. And what of you, my love On the boardwalk, calling to me? Are you still the one That looked into my hear...

“I didn’t realize you two knew each other,” Aaron mutters.He’s been giving me the cold shoulder all morning. I hadn’t pieced it together, until I remembered Tobias telling me not to put up the sound block. “I’ve known him longer than I’ve known anybody,” I defend myself. “Show me,” Aaron says. I take Aaron’s hand, allowing him into my thoughts. “I raised that boy into a vampire,” I tell Aaron as images flash from my thoug...

The Bride of Frankenstein Tonight I walk, where the vampires walk Where the virgin blood drips, And the iron cross, Crumbles in your palm. Tonight (I walk) where passion dwells Where the red candle wax, Cloys upon your thigh. Tonight I walk, where the moon is shining And my slick shadow Is wide across the lawn. (Tonight) I walk, Where love is eternal, And no matter How many times (you or I) Die, We will always be (us.) (u...
