Almost Alive (A half-breed’s tale)

Chapter 01:

Punished:

"My name is Eve... my name is... " She sat there on that corner of her cell since the time she was put in prison, one

month ago.

"it has been a month since I have fed..." she shut her ears as if that would put a stop to her thoughts.

"don't think of it... I wont think of blood... Blood... Blood... I'm so thirsty..." she shut her mouth this time...

"I'm Eve..." she kept telling herself who she is in a hope of not losing control over her mind because of thirst. But even

she knew it was a vain attempt.

A normal vampire would have lost his senses a long time ago. But Eve was not normal. The vampires and the

werewolves were so faithful to their thousand year old blood feud that they did not think that there would be someone

as foolish as to befriend the one of the other race, falling in love was out of the question. Until Elhar Greymane and

Nasiyra Ruthward's secret fell into the ears of The Covenant.

The Covenant was a small group of the oldest and the most powerful Vampires who made the decisions pertaining

the welfare of their entire race.

"My name is Eve..." she kept chanting. There was a shrill laughter, Eve knew that laugh, it was the warden, she

stopped her chant but did not look up. The warden tapped on a steel railing of her cell, the sound of it unexpectedly

loud.

"So pathetically weak... pity" he said in a high pitched voice.

"tell me, how does one survive without tasting the juicy sweetness of blood oozing from a human throat?" at that she

could not handle it, she bared her extremely sharp teeth and growled. A sound that would make a wolf shiver.

"go away!" she then whispered.

"Filthy Halfbreed" he said in disgust and walked away.

"Starve her for two more days and then let her go" he commanded the guards.
