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.

Music Recommendation: Gerda in the rain- Alexandre Desplat

When Eve had locked the door and left earlier, she hadn't expected to return this soon, at least not like this. She was happy to see Vincent, but not happy to let him find her in the condition he did. 

She pulled the key from her dress pocket, fumbling through the door's keyhole with unsteady hands. 

"Give it to me," Vincent stretched his hand in front of her. 

"I can do it," Eve whispered while trying to get the door to open. It took her a moment to realise the door had jammed. She turned to Vincent, but her eyes didn't meet his eyes, and she stepped away from the door for him to take her place in front of the door. 

Vincent turned the key stuck to the door and used his other hand to push and pull the doorknob and heard the door click. 

"Thank you," Eve said when he pushed the door open.
