The Vampire Covens

Ch.18 The Full Moon Meeting

Ch. 18 {A few weeks later}

            I sit on my bed, lonesome, thinking how the days have passed in a bland blur. Everyday it’s pretty much the same, I sneak out of the passageway to avoid any interactions, meet up with Zane and often Tate, or sometimes hang out with Carter and Kari, and then I retreat back to my room to read more of my mother’s journal. Which has now become my lifeline and I’ve found out numerous things about this coven that were supposed to be secret.

            Like firstly, the Queen is a traitorous bitch. She killed numerous werewolves in her attempt to make hybrids and not even just killed, tortured them for cells, blood, anything that could possibly be used as a form to create a hybrid. Then her theory to breed them came about and now here I am. She’s such a cruel woman, in my mother’s journal it gets into gruesome detail and I’ve had to set it down numerous times.

            Secondly, this coven is based on a no nonsense policy, which means, if you do not abide by the rules, your only other option is death and escape is out of the question. Once you’re in, you’re in, but it states that everyone has the freedom to choose their fate. If this alone doesn’t show Queen Terralease’s cruelty I don’t know what does.

            And thirdly, the Queen is hypocrite, it states in her proclamation of rules and regulations that there is absolutely no form of danger and or harm to be done to fellow coven members, and that includes werewolves, bleeders, and breeders; yet she herself has conducted many experiments that have tortured and worse off; killed these coven members. She’s a liar and the very malevolent nightmare that people of many generations portrayed vampires as. The picture of her beautiful features of our first meeting is now replaced with the scrunched up features of a monster, each time her face pops into my mind I cringe and see the gruesome scenes depicted in the journal with her atop the mountain of tortured souls with a grin of satisfaction.

            Every time I read another page of the journal it makes me want to rebel against her, take her down, and face the wrath of her so called ruling. Become the real monster in this nightmare, but what stops me is the faces of my new friends. Carter, Kariline, and Zane, I couldn’t let them intervene, especially Zane, I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself if anything ever happened to them. I’m opinionated and sometimes reckless but having them just as reckless as I am in a sense would be detrimental to them; I can care less about myself as long as I free them. But knowing them the way I do now, they’d never allow me to fight against the Queen’s might alone. Me being sometimes, a half-wit, still can see the danger in their probable interception.

Many things about the Queen is tormenting, restricting, and downright eerie but it’s nothing one person can change, obviously she’s made her mark in the coven as the leader by instilling that fear in every member and rallying up people to revolt against her is a long shot. She’s worked her way into their nightmares and judging by the way people already tiptoe around the Queen in warning mannerisms; her reign is something to be despaired. The way she rules, using fear to intimidate her opinions into you, is heart wrenching and cold, and reminds me daily that I shouldn’t speak of my ideals to those I’ve grown close to here.

            I haven’t had many interactions with the devil lady thankfully but, I’m supposed to be meeting with Terra soon about my place here and what I’ll be doing for the rest of my existence; but it’s a meeting I dread. It’s eating at my every nerve, is she going to make me a breeder like my mother? I can’t help the involuntary shiver that runs up my spine. I don’t know if I could be a breeder, I mean, I couldn’t let another man touch me the way Zane does. In my heart I know it would drive me insane and it would tear Zane apart, but how would I get around it if that’s what Terra wants?
