I unlocked my red BMW and got in real quick. I started the car and with no traffic rush, I was able to make it home in time. I pulled in to my house's driveway and parked the car. I got out in a hurry and crossed the street. I stood in front of my house, it was a white Victorian house with a white picket fence. Floral vines sprouted from the ground wrapping around the porch. 

This house has been in my family for a very long time. Nevertheless, Time has done Its deed upon the once proud house of Evermore. Now it was just Bricks and cement that had been eroded away, washing the colors from the once beautiful building. But from within, the magic still lived on. Great halls of chandeliers and tables lay well decorated. A Persian rug covered the carpet, and lace covered curtains were draped over the windows. As a loner and an outcast, this house was my sanctuary.

As I reached for the front door, with keys in hand, I noticed it was slightly open. Startled I stepped back and inspected the door almost like it had suddenly grown two heads. This is odd. Did I leave without closing the door this morning? I thought. I pushed the door, and it swung open with ease. A blast of my mother's expensive channel perfume overpowered my senses. I walked in cautiously, I put my bag down and followed the sound of light soft jazz music drifting across the house.

There she was, sitting in my favorite chair. Legs together, uncrossed and slightly to one side. A glass of red wine in her right hand. Looking glamorous and sophisticated as always. Just the sight of her, and I could already feel myself, seething with rage. Given our last meeting, she knew what my first reaction would be. She immediately held her hands up in surrendering gesture and walked towards me slowly.

" Carina dear, we need to talk. I didn't come here to pick a fight. I came here to talk to you like an adult. so you can either listen to what I have to say or we can fight it out like the good old days. what will it be daughter? "

I let out a deep breath and managed to nod.  

" First of all I want to you to keep in mind what I have to say will upset you and you will not like it, but like everything else in life you will learn to accept it." she said. Her voice Flat and steady, but tight as a plucked wire.

I clenched my fist and bit my lower lip. Memories, unwanted Memories of my tortured childhood started clouding my mind, one after another. I started to pace back and forth, shaking my head sideways. It took Everything I had in me to not break Down and curl into a ball. She was a Horrible mother and an awful woman Fiona Evermore.  Grinding my teeth, I made up my mind, to never let her win! I will not allow her to destroy my confidence and my life ever again.

" NO! you are not doing this to me again mother. Leave NOW! I don't want you, and your negativity in my life." I shouted as anger crept into my tone, my voice getting louder with every word I spoke. '

She suddenly walked towards me, her once green eyes, intense with unspoken pain. She ran her heavily jeweled left hand through her waist-length dark hair And took a deep breath, her fist balled tightly, eyes staring blankly she said.

"You have to end your relationship with that human boy toy of yours. Playtime is over my dear, it's time for you to come out of your nest and claim what's rightfully yours. He does not approve of other men courting you, Please believe me when I tell you, that he will kill that human boy if you try to mate with him. He's not meant for you."

I had no clue as to what she was yapping about, but the moment she was done talking. I was boiling with rage, I was beyond reasoning with this woman, She just never stops. Always ruining my life and what little happiness I have left in me. 

" How dare you? how dare you mother? why can't you just let me be, for once? Why do you keep hurting me like this? I don't need you in my life, I never needed you. nothing good ever comes out of you being here. why are you suddenly back in snowville, fully knowing what your presence here entails for me? you are a wanted criminal mother!  a murder! and not once did the magical community fail to remind that my mother is a killer! Just please GO AWAY!" I screamed desperately, as I took a deep breath, and ran my fingers through my wavy jet-black hair. My hands shaking, I Fisted my hair again, in frustration.

She walked towards me, hands out almost as If to comfort me. "NO!" I yelled, using my telekinetic ability I threw her halfway across the living room. I still had my hand in the air, when she landed with a heavy THUD!

" I will not tolerate your interference with my life anymore. I will not allow your crimes to define my life anymore. and for your information not that it matters to you, but  I will date and mate whomever I please mother. I am not that same girl you almost starved to death once Because you thought she was too fat. NO MORE! MOTHER GET OUT!!" I shouted again, never in my life have I ever raised my voice at someone. but my mother managed, to bring the worst out of me.

I called to house's magic, Engulfing her in purple smoky mist, I threw her out of the house.

" NO! you must listen to me, I wasn't done explaining yet! " she begged and pleaded with me, but all I saw was the same woman who tormented me day, after day. Starved me for days, The same woman who was shamed of me for my body image, The same woman who walked all over my life and made me pay the price for her selfish ways. away from me despite doing everything the best i can to make her proud.

"I understand that you are upset with me, but believe me when I tell you, am not doing this to hurt or control your life. He's not meant for you. Kaizel will have him killed if he even touches you CARINA!!"

She yelled as the mist dragged her out of the house and sent her flying into the dark skies. kaizel... what the hell is that? I sighed and shut the door. My left eye caught a glimpse of the clock hanging on the wall in the living room, and I immediately noticed I had about 45 minutes to prepare romantic dinner and get ready.

After half an hour of running around, getting everything ready. I finally placed the flower vase in the middle of the table and started redecorating the table again out of nervousness. My palms were getting sweaty and I could feel myself about to have a nervous breakdown. I took one last final look at everything, it was an elegant yet still semi-casual dinner.

Dinner was steak with classic restaurant fare and a bottle of red wine. The room was dim, the table was set right. With everything from rose petals to scented candle lights, along with some nice soft music in the background. Everything was perfect and I couldn't help but feel proud. Suddenly! I had the doorbell ring.

I turned around so fast, I almost fell over my feet.  I pulled the dress down and Immediately regretted choosing the red dress. It only called attention to how plump I was. I have never been exactly the athletic pretty type, and as a curvaceous voluptuous woman, it took me some time to be confident in my own body. At least I had my emerald eyes, my best features. I straightened my back and walked over to answer the door.

I opened the door and there he was; in all of his glory. Looking every bit as handsome, as the first day I met him in my flower shop. He had the kind of face that stopped you in your tracks. Brown skin Adonis look going on, with dark hazel eyes that made me weak at the knees. He was a fair few inches taller than me, which I liked a lot. He was slim, but muscular at the right places, with an almost perfectly symmetrical face. He wore a well-fitted blue suit. Exactly the sort of thing that a woman would pick out for her man to wear to a formal event.

He caught me checking him out, and gave me a charming smile. I averted my gaze blushing, and held the door wide open for him.

" You look very beautiful Carina. "He said with a smirk. His eyes glistening with a mischievous light. we awkwardly hugged and He gave me a kiss on my right cheek. We silently walked over to the table. Keeping in mind I haven't said a word a since I opened the door for him. We sat across each other. The only light coming from a few well placed scented candles, It's lavender aroma filling the house like a misty fog.

I sipped from my wine glass, as he watched me silently. I blushed again as a shy smile slipped past my lips. He smiled warmly back at me as if to comfort me.

" Everything looks great, you have outdone yourself, " He said breaking the silence. I just nodded, as much as I wanted to say something, It seemed every time I opened my mouth, the words eluded me. Get it together Carina. for the love of god, get it together now woman!

"Thanks, it wasn't easy, but I knew the outcome would be Rewarding, " I said breathlessly. what the fuckery fuck was going on with me? did I just say that? He lifted his left eyebrow, almost as if I caught him off guard with that statement. It was a complete, and utter lie. I used Magic, of course, to prepare everything.

It was so strange. sitting across each other, when all we did the past year was flirt on the phone and Live-stream videos. Since we started dating we have never once sat across each other like this. I knew every little thing about him, we spent hours on the phone flirting, talking about our hopes and future dreams. I even thought about telling him that I was a witch on multiple occasions, only to chicken out at the last minute.

" So what do you want, to do tonight?" He asked as he reached for his wine glass. I leaned in forward and said " A little of this, and little of that" acting coy and shy.

I tilted my head to the side and gave him a seductive smile. Mirroring my movements, he leaned in and licked his lips. Feeling his eyes move over me. From my green eyes to my nose, cheeks, lips, The curve of my neck. Again from the Slope of my shoulders, to my chest, and The tiny bit of cleavage just peeking out from my red dress. I blushed. but This time so did he. Back to sipping wine, He averts his gaze.

we locked eyes across the table. Everything around us faded away. I could feel his desire, I didn't just feel it. I saw it! Light blue threads of energy, coming off him in waves. Making my stomach clench in hunger, unlike anything I have ever felt. I licked my lips unconsciously, his sexual energy too strong. I could see the veins in his throat throbbing clear as a day, pulsing with blood. I gulped and looked away. I don't know what came over me, but suddenly I got up, walked over to the other side of the table, and sat on his lap.

I could feel his erection under me, and I moved my head closer to him, as He sat frozen, from both fear and excitement  I couldn't tell and quite frankly at this point I didn't care. all I wanted to do was taste this male before me.  His face was so close to mine, I could smell his musky cologne. I felt an emotion that was so unfamiliar, lust and hunger. His lips reached my jaw hesitantly, tracing the lines of my ear, to my collarbone. They were so warm against my skin, which at the moment felt cold, very cold. I lifted my hands and intertwined my fingers in his soft brown hair.

He put his hands down my waist, slowly tracing his finger along my back. He inclined his face toward me, and lay his lips over mine. It was a soft and gentle kiss, but soft and gentle wasn't what I  wanted from him. or rather craved from him.  I pulled him by his hair forcefully, as he gasped in my mouth eyes wide open. At that moment I completely took over the kiss, unexpectedly, his hand drifted to my right hip. It settled there and pulled me closer. I inhaled sharply. His lips were warm and tasted of mint; he had obviously been chewing gum earlier.

I hesitantly looked up at him. The swirls of emotion I saw there made me gasp. Lust and desire. I started to feel funny in my head, dizzy and little like had been drinking. It was almost like, the more aroused he got, the more his kiss tasted sweeter.

I licked my lips again and smiled seductively at him. I  grabbed him by the hand and led him upstairs to my room. Kissing passionately we passed the hallway, I looked back at him, and his eyes were glazed. He was staring at me like, I was the best thing he'd ever seen in his life. Once in my room, I undressed him slowly, while never taking my eyes off him. I threw him on the bed and he just gave a very naughty smile.

I then immediately proceeded to get him undressed in a hurry. It was so strange, this was not at all how imagined my first time to be. I wanted it to be sweet, gentle and romantic. Nothing like this. I pushed him down and instantly got on top of him. I kissed him feverishly, and licked his lips, all the way down to his throat.

That's when felt it, a feeling, unlike anything I have ever felt in my life. My throat burned like I  had drunk a bottle of acid, my insides burning from within. So hungry.  I thought as I licked my lips again, for what seemed like the third time tonight. I felt my canines grow unbearably long and viciously sharp. The urge to sink my teeth into his flesh, and drain him of his blood was unbearable. I urged myself to push away from him, but to my surprise, I found that I couldn't. My body began to tremble uncontrollably. I sensed his emotions and felt pure fear. I felt him trying to withdraw but I held on strongly unwilling to let go.

" C-carina y-your eyes..t-they are glowing green Y-you have f-fangs?" he stuttered, as his voice shook with fear and uncertainty.

His voice felt like a whisper In my ears. At this point, I knew I was far too gone. All that mattered to me was sinking my teeth into his flesh. As my new found fangs found themselves drawn to his jugular vein. I remember breathing in relief, As the first drop of blood flowed into my mouth. I could hear his voice in the back of my mind, as I felt his heart beating less every second I drew his blood. I mentally screamed someone please make it stop, I don't want to hurt him any longer. please stop.

His eyes reflected the life knew I'd lost, the life I'd forever be exiled from. My eyes met his, as one lone tear streamed down my face. I knew this was it, the last time I would ever see his beautiful face.

I remember hearing the distance shout of my mother's voice, as I feel into a crimson sea of blood.
