“I see hell in your eyes”

Blake tur
ned around surprised. S
he
was standing behind him
proud and p
owerful, seductive and beatiful
and
looking
at him with concern in her eyes
.

“You’re worried about something
…
”

“Mistress…” Blake kneed and lowered his head
.

She
got closer to him
slowly
while sensually moving her hips.

“Stand up” she whispered. He listened
“You don’t have to worry about anything
,
Blake… You’re a wonderful leader. But
…
you could be a better, stronger one. If y
ou want to  take over the world,
and I know you do, I can help you with that. You j
ust have to take my offer. So..
. Do you agree?”

“Yes
, my queen”
he answered while looking into
her eyes. He felt as if Lilith
put a spell on him
.

“Wonderful. Come wi
th me then. Go towards my light
and I’ll give you
a
great power
…
”

He followed her without
hesitate. He didn’t notice that
the other members of the Dark Start
were still wandering
around the house. At the same time Aidan, Jacob, Zack and Mikaela thought that Blake is going to talk with
Lilith about the Bloodmoon rite and
they didn’t think about it much.

Blake followed  Lilith as if hypnotized to his room.
Wh
en the vampiress opened the door,
she pulled him and put him against the wall. He felt the  delicate c
old touch of her scarlet lips.
His
the
most
secret dreams were coming true
and
the world around him dissolved
unt
il only him and her were there.
Lilith, his mistress, his mother,  his wife, his sister, his lover. The ruler of his damned soul.

Suddenly she moved back
and Blake could
look into her wonderful eyes.
He didn’t even notice how she cut the inside of her arm with the sharp frame of th
e hanging mirror next to them.
She to
uched his cheek with that arm
leaving a
bloody mark
and then
she touched her neck and
neckline with the same effect.
Big dro
ps of blood fell from her wound
and Lilith put he
r hand in such a way that they started decorating her lips.
She licked them sensually and looked at her c
ompanion.
Blake couldn’t take it, he j
umped at her like a wild animal and they both fell on the bed
drowning in soft sheets. He drowned in her more and more with each impulse of pleasure. During intercourse Lilith bit him
in various different places bu
t he felt her bites only as additional, more fiery kisses. He didn’t resist when the vampires
s
, still ridding him, put her bleeding hand before him.

“Drink this sweet nectar
,
child! Drink the source of life which is my blood! As
the
blood is the essence of
the
existence!”

Without a word he put his fangs into
the inside of her arm. With each sip he felt that an unknown power flew through him more and more. He heard the ecstatic scream of Lilith who sudd
enly took her arm away from him
and arched her back.

After that
they both lied in bed
cuddling. Blake looked at the
ceiling, thinking of something
while  Lilith
was
delicately
caressing
his skin with her healthy hand
.

“Now y
ou’re ready to take over the world
, my dear”
she whispered and kissed him on the cheek
”
Through my power y
ou became nearly undefeatable.
I believe in you because I never had such
a loyal and faithful servant. Go then
and take back everything that was take
n from you. Take over the world
for m
e and for yourself. For us both and for the Dark Star”

Chapter 6

“I don’t know if this is a good idea. I look like a chump in this shirt”

“Shut up, Jay. You and Paige
wanted it. When you’re a guest
at
someone’s home
m you have to dress properly”
Carrie lectured them in the tone of an overbearing mother
.

“Yeah?”
Dalton
asked
“So yo
u’re calling that dress from hell proper, Ms. P
erfect?”

Carrie sighed. Maybe he was right
since only him and Paige
were dressed in an elegant way
while she
was wearing
her favo
u
rite gothic dress and
the
combat boots. Again she didn’t blend in to the environment. But what can you do, it’s only the Morton brothers. Maybe they won’t be so stingy about the clothing etiquette.

It was a few minutes after
10 p.m.
when they arrived at their destination.  The mansion
was
really
large
and
brought shivers up the spine. When Carrie looked at it
she thought they all found themselves in a horro
r movie about a haunted house.
She looked
from the sides on Jay and Paige
who also
looked at the mansion with
eyes
wide
opened
.
She smiled under her nose, shrugged her shoulders and rang the bell
.

They didn’t have to wait for long
until the door was opened by Ja
cob dressed entirely in black. Quiet music
emanated f
rom the inside of the house.
Morton smiled in response to see
his guests
and then
he let
them in without saying a word. All
of them followed a long corridor towards the sound of the noise.

“W
hat kind of party is it?” Jay asked,
patting Jacob on the shoulder
.

“It’s my brother’s wedding” Morton
said calmly
while his smile
was widening.

Carrie stopped
.

“Blake is getting m
arried?  But … with who?”

“With Mikaela”

The girl nodded, not knowing what to say.
B
lake and Mikaela, interesting.
There didn’t seem to be any chemistry b
etween them when she met them.
Maybe they just kept their relationship
as
a secret? A lot of couples does that these days.

Carrie
turned her gaze away from Jacob’s fiery em
erald eyes and  looked around.
The corridor they
were walking through
was rather narrow, it had only a few paintings of less-or-more
known artists on its walls.
Carrie thought to herself that the twins have to be
the art connoisseurs. But at the same time
she was filled with
the fear
as she felt that the
twins held some kind of secret
she didn’t really want to know. Without knowing why,
she began
agree
ing with Jay
that it was a bad idea to come here.

“Blake is getting married? Oh n
o… I-I mean that’s wonderful”
stuttered Paige,  obviously distressed with this news.

Jay pushed her lightly and looked at her and scolded her with his gaze.

“Don’t forget you’re already taken”

Paige took him under his arm and went silent.
Of course those two aren’t aware of the gravity of the situati
ons and of the potential danger
, Carrie
thought
to herself. She began
regret
ting
that she took them with he
r
and that she let herself be persuaded to go to that damn party that one Friday at the Delir
ium Club. If it wasn’t for that
she would be in her home reading a book about vampires
now
.

“And maybe you’ll marry our little Carrie?”

The girl awoke from her thoughtful s
tate. Paige was smiling
to Jacob like an idiot. Carrie was at the same time irritated with her behavio
ur
and envious of her frankness.

Suddenly Carrie felt something cold grasping her hand. It was Jacob. S
he  looked again at his hypnotiz
ing emerald e
yes in which she
noticed a peculiar shine. The young man unexpectedly got closer to her, so she felt the sweet scent of his breath.

“We
need to talk in privat
e before the wedding ceremony”
he whispered.

She nodded her head and swallowed her saliva. Her heart was beating madly even when he let go of her hand.

Finally the
y entered a large living room. Its walls were half-painted Bloodred and half-
covered in darkbrown paneling. They were also covered in
multiple interesting paintings
and many unique sculp
tures stood all around the room. But the P
ersian carpet along with the old grandfather’s clock
standing between two bookcases
seemed to be the most expensive items in the room.  Au
dioslave’s
Show Me How To Live
could be heard from the speakers
.

Aidan and Zack were in the living room, dressed
in the same clothes as Jacob.
Mikaela w
as wearing a short black dress
and Blake w
as wearing an elegant white suit.
A
nother young man, who was
immediately recognized by Carrie, Paige and Jay
,
was also there
. 

“
Father Rosenberg?!” all
of them said at the same time with
a
surprise in their voice
s
.

“My children! How happy I am
to see you!” Blake appeared before them
“I see you’ve already met our dear friend Jonathan”

“Father Rosenberg
leads the
ceremonies
in our church” Paige
said.

Blake smiled to her, although his gaze wasn’t to
o nice. The girl went silent again and hugged Jay
while Morton
was pointing to the table covered in all kinds of food
.

“I invite you to
the
feast. The ceremony will start soon”

Jay and Paige immediately went to the table
to satisfy not only their eyes but also their stomachs.
Carrie thought they’ll never s
atisfy their gluttonous hunger
and almost started laughing while watching them taking everything they can on their plates. She wasn’t really hungry
.

She
noticed that Jacob was gone.
It turned out that he
was sitting
next to the table and d
rinking some kind of dark-red liquid
along with the others. Maybe it’s a new type of
a wine? Carrie
went to the table and found one filled glass of it. She took it carefully and started turning it around with her fingers.

She examined the consistency
and smell of this weird liquid
but when she was just about to taste it, she fe
lt a very peculiar pain in her
wrist.

“Don’t drink it. It’s not
for you” Jacob whispered
and then
he put his glass down a
nd pulled her towards himself “
Come, we’ll talk in private
”
