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.

Envy of the captive

The young mermaid looked happy in the merchant's presence, smiling as the man patted her head as if she was a pet and offered her a treat. 

Eve turned to Vincent. 

She whispered so that the merchant wouldn't hear what she said to Vincent, "Can I get two minutes alone with her? Please."

Vincent tilted his head before he took a step forward and said to the merchant, "I hear that you stole this mermaid from a wealthy family and they want her back. Do you know what happens to people who steal? Their hands are severed."

"What? That's rubbish!" The merchant denied the accusation and said, "I have this mermaid with me since she was this small," he used both his hands to emphasise it. 

"You don't believe me? They are standing right outside in the alley," stated Vincent, and without warning, caught the back of the merchant's neck and dragged him out of the building.
