The Hunt For Immortal Love

My beloved is out on her first hunt with Edward. Their unexpected victim has just entered the valley and is none the wiser of the danger she is in. Now how this should go is Edward needs to take the woman down, as Anastasia will not yet possess the power in her still very fragile body to do so. But this is not what happens.

Much to the shock of my eyes, I see Anastasia overpower the woman from behind in less than mere seconds. Edwards steps back and need not even assist with keeping her victim pinned to the floor. Anastasia has taken the woman down and has her body pinned down with but only her one leg. The woman does not even move. She throws her head back like a howling wolf and exposes her fangs that are clearly not those of a young vampire anymore. In one flick of her neck she drives them deep in the woman's neck and begin feeding. Edward watches her and then give her the command to stop drinking. I watch as she stands then wipe her mouth and kick the dead body of her victim to the side. What just happened?

...Anastasia...

I have just been taken out on my first hunt, to say that I was not scared would be a lie. The thought of drinking the blood of a human kind of made my stomach turn, but I was so damn hungry I could not even think. The minute I had my fangs nestled deep in her neck, it is as if I have been doing this since forever. The sound of her heart fading came close enough to cause me arousal. The sound as she gave her last breath have my skin tingling. What even surprised me more, is the way her blood tasted. Not the cherry and strawberries of a vampire but that of any chocolatey desert you can think. What had me the most is the power it gave me, I have never felt so alive, it was as if a surge of electricity shot through me. If ever I thought I made a bad decision in becoming a vampire, then this would have changed my mind. Some part of me do wish though that Sebastian was here with me.

But now Edward is looking at me funny, have I done something wrong with the kill? I know he said that he will take her down, but I felt I have the strength in me to do so myself.

"My dear Anastasia, I am compelled to say well done, but what happened there? Where did you find the strength?"

How do I explain to him when I do not even know myself. "I just felt it, it is hard to say Edward. I just feel it so powerful and deep inside of me."

He looks at me wanting to ask a million questions but instead it seems that he gets a far better idea. "I wish to test something dear, if you shall just humor me for a second."

"Sure." I know that I can trust him as he has been caring after me for the last few days.

"I should be a far powerful vampire than you given my age. I want you to try take me down and pin my body firmly by the chest to the floor. The only vampire that has ever been able to do so is your beloved Sebastian."

For now I shall just ignore his remark about Sebastian, for I too am curious to see what happens. I watch as he takes a firm stance in front of me fully expecting that I shall not be able to even move him. "Now Anastasia."

Without even attempting to launch myself and jump at him, I grab him by his broad shoulders and kick his strong steady legs in. He stumbles to his feet and I pin his chest down with my knee. I firmly keep him in place as he tries to wiggle his way out from underneath and break free.

"Point made young lady, you may let go now."

I laugh at his remark and offer him a hand to stand from his feet. "Was that not supposed to happen?" I look at him shyly and pretend that I am just as surprised as he.

"No my dear Anastasia, that should not be possible unless I have grown weak since my last meal."

"But do you feel weak?"

"Not in the least bit and I pretty much have established that you not feeling either."

"Then what happens now?"

"I shall ask..." I see as he refrains as to realize that he had said something he should not have said. "I can only but guide you now, as you do not require my power. Your next feed I shall stay far behind without you noticing me." "But what happens now? What do I do?"

"You carry on with your life my dear. You can do anything you want. Just remember that you are going to live forever, so choose wisely what you wish to occupy your day with or whom you spend your time. You shall not age, you need to keep that in mind."

This thought has never cross my mind, never did I think what I will do once I turn into an immortal creature. Apart from Edward, the only other person that knows is Eva. I shall not be able to stay in my job forever for as Edward says, people shall notice that I have not aged a bit. So needles to say it all boils down to one thing, I am going to be lonely.

"Edward."

"Yes my dear?"

"Don't you get lonely?"

"Being a vampire is lonely, but I have Sebastian and Lilith. And of course a flurry of women that I never stay with for longer than a day."

"But why do you stay with Sebastian and Lilith?"

"Sebastian is our Maker, he always took a keen interest in us and in a way I guess he wishes not to be lonely."

"Now you are my Maker but I can't stay with you because of Sebastian?"

"Well, actually...you always can come stay with us."

The thought of Sebastian finding out that I let Edward turn me, shoots a pain to my heart, I have deceived the man that I thought I would love. But it is too late to cry over the consequences of my actions. But I do fear that if Sebastian finds out that he shall want nothing to do with me.

"Edward, do you think Sebastian will be mad at me?"

"My dear Anastasia, Sebastian cares too deeply for you." ...Sebastian...

For the second time around this night I am astonished by what I saw. My beloved had the second strongest vampire in London to the floor in mere seconds. Now I do know that Edward fed this evening before he came to take Anastasia on her first meal, there is no way in which his body could have lost all the strength he had. There is something about Anastasia, I am very curious to know if she shall be able to do the same to me.

I only stay around for another hour as Edward explains to her which sides of the city is safe enough to prowl. They will wonder further into the city and he will point to her which humans from not to feed. But most of all he first needs to show her how to leave the body so that authorities do not suspect a thing.

As they head their way into the city, I make my miserable self home. I so long to be with my beloved but I heard what she said to him. How can she even think such a thing. I shall never stay mad at her for longer than a second. She has no idea how much I desire to be with her now even more than ever. Not only to take my loneliness away but the desire to mate and complete this bond between us. I finally have my beloved in all my vampire years and I cannot be with her. By the time I find my way home, Edward has also made his. I find him and Lilith sitting in the kitchen as they always do.

"You two still amaze me,' I try to laugh off my somber mood. "You spend more time in the kitchen than humans do."

Lilith waves me off and rises from her chair to embrace me in a hug. "How are you doing my brother?"

"I will be lying if I say never been better."

I turn my attention to Edward though, I am very much curious about his encounter with Anastasia. "Edward please tell me that my eyes deceived me. Or did you not use your strength because she is a woman?"

Edward whom is quite taken aback immediately answers. "Sebastian I used everything I had against her. She dropped me like a weather and might I say not even twitching a muscle. I am afraid to say Anastasia is very powerful."

"But I do not understand this," I now say as I am pacing back across the kitchen floor. "This makes no sense, she cannot not possibly be so strong."

"Is it not because it is your blood she drank of?" But Lilith quickly dismisses her question as she and Edward should then also be.

But there is one thought that comes to me, the only vampire with so much power shall be one that possesses their soul. Should she indeed, I fear she might be in trouble. Any vampire that chooses to gain the strength shall come for her. The only way she can remain safe is if she was with me. As matters stand now, it will be so impossible for me to watch her constantly as my presence is sometimes required to perform my duties as the Master.

"I fear Anastasia might come in danger. Beyond this room does anybody else know that she has turned?"

"Not a single other apart from Eva, which will have no contact with any other vampire." Edward hesitates for one second before he speaks. "And Breyden."Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Immediately snap at him for even making such a suggestion. In all my years that I have known Breyden, has he never given me a reason to mistrust him. The longer we can keep this between us, the safer my beloved would be. I need to find a way for her to forgive and trust me again.

But what shall count in my advantage is that she too shall start craving to complete this bond. She will continue to seek and mate with the one that has turned her. She is thinking it is Edward but she is not feeling it with him. I shall need to get close enough for her to feel that it is me, and in no time at all I know she will come to me. I shall need to find a way to deceive her once again.

"Edward, tomorrow when I feed, you shall bring Anastasia down the some path at the very exact moment that I drink. She shall not expect that you have brought her to me on purpose. She needs to feel that connection that she has with me. I need her to seek me so that I can protect her."

But before Edward can speak, there is someone at the door. Has she perhaps already come to me? I rush my way to the door, but as I open I am disappointed to see it is not her.

"Victor, to what do we owe this pleasure or are you here to see Lilith?"

Victor catches his breath as he tries to speak, something clearly has him scared beyond belief. "Sebastian we seem to have a problem."

"Come in Victor and tell me what is wrong."

Once he is sitting with us in the common room, he has managed calm himself enough to speak again. "Master, I was out on a prowl and came across a vampire. The vampire seems to have taken out two humans and was busy feeding. I am afraid to say we have a rogue vampire roaming the streets."
