When she was captured and made into a vampires pet and fresh source of blood she never imagined she might have been saved. Or that she might save him.
Lavender was raised to be a magic bride as on of the privileged humans to be born with magic in he...

"Well, I broke the rules. Lavender...everything they have ever told us ...its a lie."
Her words echoed with some strange feeling not different from a harp string snapping.
"What are you talking about Violet? What is a lie? The outside? Do you really think that ghouls and monsters don't exist? We have seen the pictures and videos they have of the news back then. These things exist. They wouldn't keep us in this building protected without a reason." I deflected. We didn't usually have access to videos since they had to priorize the solar lights just in case...but they did at least once a year to remind people why to be greatful.
"I'm not talking about that Lavi, I'm telling you that we don't just get some happy ever after. We don't just get husbands and fall in love and have a happy family in some nice house with a yard and a dog."
"Maybe not a dog I can imagine its hard to get ahold of a nice dog these days...and well I know you don't just fall in love, I mean that kind of thing takes time. " I had read as many of the paperback romances smuggled in as any other girl. Even if most of the pages had been torn out of them. In thouse books so long as the two characters got to know each other and learn their diffrences they could and would fall in love discovering their mutal passions and accepting one another.
"I've been talking to someone from across the wall and I really think that you need to as well." She insisted. I bit my lip feeling troubled. My best friend was telling me something she was wholly convinced of, how could I not hear her out? And yet...yet she was also telling me to do one of the one things that was forbidden. If I ever broke the rules I could lose my place as a bride and be thrown out into the wild.
"You'll be thrown out and discarded by the church and you'll get devoured my monsters alive, do you really want that?!" The warning of the matron echoed in my head with that fierce expression of wrinkles that had reminded me of a prune. If prunes were demonic and sentient that is.
"How? How are you even talking to someone from the outside?" I whispered fiercely though no one was in our room. They were already out in the main room by now gossiping, playing and reading the worn and tattered pages of old books.
"Meet me in the garden when the sun goes down." She grinned.
"Violet, how could I? We aren't allowed out at night!" I hissed. She was insane, no soul was allowed out at night and no one was foolish enough to go out at night either. After all, night was when the demons and monsters all were awake. We slept at night naturally so they wouldn't see us or hear us as we slumbered in hiding as they hunted.
"You can because they don't bother locking the courtyard. That wall isn't claimable by any monster! And there's nothing but building on three sides of it. It's the safest bit of outdoors in the entire settlement."
"Then how do you expect to meet someone from outside the school there?" I threw my arms up frustrated.
"Because there's a tiny little hole where you can talk behind one of the rose bushes." She said her eyes glittering in a way that only violets eyes ever glittered.
