Lies float swiftly through the air and burrow in feeble minds. The game has begun. tock There is a saying amongst all of the supernatural.

Isn't it true? tick Corrupt rulers dance among the just as wolves amongst noble lions. War happens inside an extravagant ballroom. There is no limit to the power between the shining walls of grandiose. Gowns swish through the fragrant air, strong hands caress slender waists. Truthfully, the game has only just begun. Everyone is willing to die for their life. tock Long ago there was a species known as the celestials. They had no power of their own. They could only mimic the power of those they kissed. Celestials were a peaceful carefree people until the demons and sirens decided to use them as weapons against each other. Not for their power, but for their blood. The blood of a celestial is known to grant full immortality to any who drink it. This means that the drinker may never be harmed naturally, their strength and power become infinite. The only stipulation is that one must drink the blood each day. If a dose is missed the drinker returns to their previous strength and mortality.

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage.
