Birthright

Blood lust, fangs, corpses with markings found on their necks, true?  Only in fictional movies and books?  One would think, one wouldn't believe such things could exist, at least that is what Candra Rosewood thought, only she thought wrong.  She also wouldn't believe that one could possible fall for such a creature, but as fate would have it, and not without a battle, she did just that. Candra, a very strong willed girl, who usually doesn't give easily to things that contend with the heart, finds that Kane is very determined, but that she can be just that and more so herself.  How you say? You'll have to read the book to find how she wins the battle not only with her fictional lover, but things of her past that mysteriously present themselves when she least expects them too.

  Hatred hath lain within my veins, simmering until days light extinguished into the hills, leaving a fiery glow, and then darken, cold like you.  I stood there and waited, like a statue, carved and worn within its crevasses, until my nightmare appeared in the distance.  You were always the one with dramatic entrances, feeling the need to look opposing and haughty, but I knew thee better.  I didn’t fear thee, nor cringed at thy sight; instead I stood my ground and as I waited the wind did blew your black hair.  Like tentacles, they streamed out from your head, reaching, finding me, but lost.  Eyes closed, I remembered thee well, when you were not as you are now.  I still can feel you, your touch, such warmth that crept into the depths of my soul and haply took thee as mine.  Fool I was then, to believe in such frivolous ideals, but then you took me and I was yours…body and soul. I hate thee as I hate mysel...

They called to me, those winged angels, whose call is but my death.   I quaked at the stillness your soul made not, but stirred mine at your slightest glance.   I stood by my window; it is my jail, which kept me locked from you. Nearer and nearer they came, on horses black as coal.   You who stood in the darkened night under the pale moon light, whose shadow cast not…waited.   You came not to save but to jest at the pain that awaited me.   Icy cold with a soul wedded to its temperament were unfelt, yet in my presence, a passion all consumed. Further imbued with the thoughts of death did I succumb to your will and laid there as life poured its soul upon the cold ground.   My death was yours in which life breathed its power in every fiber of your being and made you the monster I feared most, yet loved. Even though I walk alone, a death like stupor drove me forward.   Your presence always felt, a thirst unneeded, unquenched.   I craved for...
