His Dark Obsession by Moonlight Muse

The vampires stare at him, clearly taking it with mixed reactions. There are those who are shocked, others hostile and some who are hesitant.

“To Vadam Exodus, now.” Zed snarls, his power radiates off him and I glance towards the mansion entrance.

The vampires seem to converse with one another before they motion to the door and Zedkiel walks confidently to the entrance.

I don’t like being apart from him but there’s not much I can actually do but wait for his signal that Vadam is with him before I move.

‘How long will you wait?’ Evelyn asks after a while. ‘For his signal.’ I reply, trying not to let my worry show.

She’s been silent since I’ve returned to my body. Neither of us has brought up what happened when she took control, but sometimes I feel as if she wants to say something. I feel her come to the front of my mind before she backs away.

‘Ok.’ That’s all she replies.

A few vampires come running and seem to be exchanging orders.

‘Evangeline, perhaps we should inch closer while they are distracted. We can wait outside but within the walls until he gives us his signal. It’s riskier staying out here.’ Luna suggests quietly.

‘Yes, good idea. It won’t be hard to sneak in, let’s make our way around while they are distracted, and then we wait for Zed.’ I say, as I stare at the doors that Zedkiel had been through. They’re shut now.

Be careful, my love.

Pulling my hood up to disguise my white hair. I slowly stand up in the tree.

Silently, I jump down to the ground. Ducking down, I edge to the wide opening where the broken gate lies on the floor of the entrance. Slipping inside without being seen, I keep to the shadows as I sneak around the side.

Spotting a side entrance I quietly slip closer, jumping down the small wall, I crouch down behind the gargoyle fountain. There are several windows and a double door leading into the castle, but this area is quieter.

Now I wait…

A few minutes have passed, although it feels as if a much longer period of time has passed. I spend the time simply scanning and assessing the area and making sure no one spots me.

‘Did you find answers in the realm?’ Evelyn asks quietly after a few moments.

I frown.

‘Somewhat.’ I reply.

I remember Selene’s words about not telling anyone anything when Luna begins pacing in my head. After all, werewolves and hosts share the same space.

‘But Selene said Evelyn is a victim.’ She murmurs, hesitantly.

‘I know.’ I reply.

‘And?’ Evelyn urges, wanting an answer. ‘What did you learn?’

Do not even talk to each other…

But why does my heart urge me to tell Evelyn? To trust her?

‘You are the goddess of the moon Evangeline… follow your intuitions.’ Luna murmurs.

‘You don’t trust me.’ Evelyn states. I can sense the anger and hurt in her voice.

‘No, that is not true, I do, and so does Zedkiel. Even Selene herself says you are a victim… There’s something or someone else who is the true evil…’ I murmur.

Selene said not to even speak to each other. This should be ok…
