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.

A spark of ponder

Eve narrated what happened with Allie and the previous governess to Aunt Aubrey, which left the older woman speechless for a good minute. Two hours had passed since Eve had returned home. Lady Aubrey said, 

"Poor girl, no wonder she doesn't speak much. One would think that the wealthy people have no problems, but each person has his own kind of worries." 

"I don't understand how anyone could hurt a small girl like Allie," Eve shook her head in disappointment. 

"That's how people are, Eve. The higher you go up in the ladder of status, the more you will find wolves in sheep clothings. Fangless vampires are reduced to humans," explained Aunt Aubrey. 

Eugene appeared in the room with a tray of two teacups and a hot pot filled with tea.
