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.

Mother whose hands are tied

Noticing the red drop of blood on the ground, Eve felt her soul slip out of her body. 

It was as if everything had slowed down when she saw Lady Annalise angrily making her way to where she was. At the same time, Allie's hand inched closer to the drop of blood, similar to a small child whose hand reached out to a candy sold at the merchant's shop. 

Eve quickly dropped the flowers from her hand, and it fell on the ground, covering the drop of blood. 

"What are you doing sitting there on the ground, Allie?!" Lady Annalise looked furious, and her glare shifted at Eve. 

Hearing her mother's voice, the little girl turned distracted from the blood, and she quickly stood up. Like an obedient child, she held her hands in front of her.
