Introduction
That's what they think.
Truth be told, it is very much a real place. It's a coven made up of vampires so that they do not loose track of the ways of the past or threaten the safety of their kind. Currently it is located in the outskirts of one of the most thriving cities in the world, New York City. We hunt and we kill. We drink and we party. We do what vampires do. Every one in the coven is allowed to turn one human, only one. Some chose a child, some a lover, some a friend.
Our leader chose the woman that is trying to destroy us.
Our leader is a man named Rodrick Colton, one of the most wealthy men in the world, also the oldest. He turned his bride-to-be, Jane Delaney. Soon after being turned, Jane went rouge and attempted to end his life. He banished her and she wasn't heard from for another 70 years. Now she's back with a pack of fellow rouges that she herself turned in hopes of taking our house.
Now we must fight for the first time in centuries to protect what is ours while everyone in the house choses sides.
Who will stand by us?
Who will chose the enemy?
And, most importantly-
Who will win?

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 2 authors
I'm Marley David and I've been a vampire for almost 13 years. My beginning is simple, I was playing in the street and I cut my leg on some glass, a vampire smelled the blood and attacked me. When he realized that I was still alive he stopped and brought me to his home, I was presented to his leader. I remember very clearly what Mr. Rodrick had said.
"She's a pretty little thing, isn't she? How did you come about this one, Kian?"
"I-I was on a hunt and I smelled blood. I didn't even look before attacking, I just- What are we gonna do?"
"What do you mean? You turned her! She'll stay with us, of course," he kneeled down to my height," How about I get one of the rooms prepared for you, darling?"
"B-But, Rodrick, the Council has strict rules about children-"
"Poppycock! The Council would have to know for us to get into any trouble over it. You won't tell them, will you?"
He shook his head.
"And neither will I! Who else needs to know? Now, run along. I have to attend to this girl now. What's your name, darling?"
"My name is Marley."
"Well, Marley, I'm Rodrick, and I can tell we'll be the best of friends. Won't we?"
We were the best of friends, from that day on I never once missed my family because Mr. Rodrick soon became like a brother to me. One day I went out into the garden after dark, as that was the only time that Mr. Rodrick ever allowed me into the garden, at this time I had been there for almost 10 years and I was getting bored of hiding. I stumbled upon a lady sitting on the railing under the shade of the gazebo, watching the sunrise. Soon enough, this lady and I became friends. I pulled her out of the terrible darkness that had settled over her heart.
Then something bad happened.
Mr. Rodrick began to be out more and later, I almost never saw him. When I asked Ren, the lady, what was going on she told me war-
I think I've gone too far,, let me go back to when this began.
It was a very starry night and Mr. Rodrick was having a party.
"It's late, Marley. I can't just go to the party."
"Of course you can, you're one of them too!"
"I know, but-"
"Hushy, just put on the dress and go down."
I looked at the dress once more and again wondered to myself how an eternal 5-year-old had chosen it. It was black and floor length with noodle straps for sleeves. There was a long cut from about mid-way down the thigh down so most of my leg would be showing as I walked. I glanced at her one more time.
"This is stupid."
"I know. Put the dress on."
So this was gonna be longer, but I have to listen to my friend's story.
The scene was the same as all of Rodrick's parties, there were people everywhere, and I do mean everywhere, all of their clothes were of the highest possible elegance. The vampires talked, laughed and drank. By "drank" I mean the people, humans don't just come to the parties for nothing. They come for our venom.
Vampire venom is like a drug of some sort, it gives the one who is bitten an elated feeling. The humans come for their doses and the vampires get their nourishment. I stood in the doorway for a few moments, deciding whether I should continue in or not. I've tried this many times, but it always ended the same. I change my mind and go back upstairs to my bedroom and hold my box. I was about to make the same choice tonight when an arm linked through mine and dragged me into the crowd.
"You're not doing this again," Rodrick whispered into my ear. He let me go in front of a man with a glass of champagne," Mingle, Florence. You've been sitting in the shadows too long."
He disappeared into the people and I turned back to the person.
"I'm sorry about that."
"It's nothing, really. I'm Henry."
"Ren."
"But didn't he just-"
"I don't go by that anymore."
"I see."
I stood in the hidden passage that led out to the living room watching the party. I know each and every nook and cranny in the place, including all the passage ways. It's not my fault that I wander. While Rodrick is a great keeper for me, he does have things to do and places to be that can take him away for hours at a time. I started leaving my room about 8 years ago, giving me plenty of time to get to know all of the house and it's inhabitants. Right now I watch as Ren makes fatal attempts to mingle with a tall man with bushy, raven hair. I can smell that he's a human, but she's not reacting the way most do, most vampires would have immediately offered to sink their teeth in but she's not even a tiny bit thirsty.
And let me tell you, this human smells good.
I don't know what to do. How do I push her to be more like a vampire? I think I understand why she isn't exactly eager to feed after what happened to her husband and son, but that was over a century ago! Come on, Ren!!
I almost gave up when I saw something, a glimmer of a smile on her lips. I was about to stay and watch more when I saw Rodrick head towards the stairs to tuck me in, then I raced into the hall that would lead me to my room, hoping that I would have enough time to change into my night gown before he got in there and asked why I wasn't ready.
"I can't do this anymore Addy" said my wolf as our legs were shaking with lack of energy. I don't know what to do, my body will blackout any minute now, so with my last amount of hope and energy I howled for help as loud as I could before falling down onto the ground.
The howl resonated through out the camp as it mixed in with the wind, only those of us with superior hearing actually noticed it from the faintness of the sound.
"Ethan," I said without looking up from the map of the surrounding area," Go find out what that was."
"What do I do when I find out what it is," he asked solemnly.
"Bring it to me," I said with false sweetness in my smile as I looked at him. He might be my favorite of his kind, but he's still a stupid mutt.
"Yes, ma'am," was all he said before jogging out into the storm and changing, running off into the dark storm outside.
"He might not make it back through the storm," my second in command, Elias, said as he looked out the door of the tent.
"Then he doesn't make it back through the storm," I replied with stark bluntness," Now do your job and come help me with these attack plans."
Black was all I saw, or wait, am I dead? I thought I was until I felt something, or someone pick me up, who was strong enough to pick a wolf up in a storm?
I opened my eyes to see a boy, he was young, he is carrying me.
"Um, excuse me?" I whispered with all my strength gone, but it came out as a wolfy whimper, the boy looked down at me and before he could I answer, I blacked out, again.
The setting changes from The House to The Rouge Camp
Originally when Jane had told me to go out in the storm to find the source of the noise, I had been honored with the task. Then the road seemed longer, the storm got harder and the scent got weaker. It was almost a full 5 hours before I noticed a red coat in the sea of white. I ran over to the wolf and changed quickly so I could kneel next to it and get a better wolf.
Its a she-wolf, I thought with distaste. Neither my wolf nor I trust she-wolves, being that the one that changed me had lured me into trusting her then abandoned me to die in the forest. My wolf stayed silent at my comment.
I picked her up and began the long walk back to the camp, she began to stir and I looked down.
"Um, excuse me," she began before slipping back into unconsciousness.
I wake up in a white room, the bed was hard and the sheet covering my naked body was too think to keep me warm. I must've blacked out very badly if I shifted back while unconscious.
There was a strange, alluring scent on my body that I hadn't smelled before, it felt like a drug.
"She's awake" I heard a male voice but decided not to move.
I sat in the rouge's hospital tent waiting for the girl to wake up, let me explain; the first and only time I tried to leave, my wolf screamed at me every second for a good ten minutes for me to go back, resulting in the biggest migraine of my life. I returned. Now I'm sitting in an uncomfortable folding chair next to what I'm sure is an even more uncomfortable cot next to what happens to be a very gorgeous girl with long, raven hair and skin that is just a shade too pale from being out in the storm, she smells like fresh mint and sage, I avert my eyes to the dirt ground because the sheet that covers her does almost nothing to hide the fact that she is bare naked underneath and Jane hasn't returned from the meeting she is in to get her some clothes, since she's the only female at the camp I have no other option than to sit and wait.
And wait..
And wait...
Then I feel a change in the air and glance at the girl to see her stirring, standing up I went over to the door of the tent and yelled for the doctor-
"She's awake!"
I turned back to the girl and she hadn't moved but she was still awake from her abnormal breathing. I went back over to her and put my hand on her shoulder, giving her a slight shake.
"There's no point in pretending, sweetheart."
"There's no point in pretending, sweetheart." said a female voice, for some reason it made my wolf angry and I let out a warning growl, making the female shut up.
I took the way too thin blanket to cover myself and sat up slowly. Two pair of eyes bore into me, a girl and a boy.
"What you staring at? Never seen a girl before?" I snapped, making my wolf growl at me, I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.
"What the hell is your problem?" I growled at her in my mind. I snapped back only to make eye contact with the guy, he had brown hair, something about his eyes made me feel safe, I couldn't take my eyes of him, like legit I couldn't.
I felt drawn to stare at her, which I felt I could morally do now that she holds the sheet to her exposed body. The color came back to her cheeks and she looked like a goddess, her skin was all but glowing and her eyes were on fire. I was about to retort to her comment on my staring when Doctor Kingsly and Jane came in.
"Jane," I said, standing and bowing my head.
"You brought it back," Jane said, nodding at the girl," I'm impressed, Ethan."
"Thank you," I cast another glance at her before returning my gaze to Jane," I don't suppose you could help her out of her 'predicament'?"
Jane simply glanced at the girl before smiling at her.
"Of course," she turned toward the door before stopping and glancing over her shoulder at the girl," Any preferences?"
The setting changes from The Rouge Camp to The House
"Any preferences?" the woman asked me, I felt power raging from her body, I bowed my head in respect even though I had alpha blood in my veins, I was nothing but a rogue now.
"Um, a s-sweatshirt and leg-gings?" I stuttered, mainly because of the cold, even as a wolf, I never got cold, but with a storm like today and laying on the cold ground for probably hours, it made me feel cold for the first time in a long time, but also with nervousness, the guy across from me is attracting me, it's like a pull and also the fear of the woman in-front-of me.
I furrowed my eyebrows as I watched her shiver, restraining my wolf's urge to put an arm around her to help her warm up. I faintly heard Jane laugh and tell the girl that she was on it.
"Did you just ask Jane for sweatpants and leggings," I ask while grinning at how absurd the request was.
As the boy spoke, the words coming out of his mouth sounded like angelic harpas, call me dramatic, but it's true.
"Um, I guess I did, It's okay with anything then, she did ask me for
" I said lowly, looking down.any preference
"Jane doesn't own leggings and she scowls at sweatpants," I said quietly, slightly annoyed that she looked down and I couldn't see her eyes anymore," I think she meant length or color," my ears pricked," Speak of the Devil."
Jane came in with a smirk and a dress.
Visual Aid:
The woman was holding a blue dress with a smirk on her face, oh no, I couldn't wear that. I made an uncomfortable face but decided not to say anything. I have scars, many of them, from different things, ones from poisoned plants, ones from attacks, ones from hunting and so on, my legs looked destroyed.
As embarrassing as it sounded I decided to take the risk.
"Well, do you own any? In that case could I please, um, borrow some?" I looked up at the boy carefully, for some reason he growled, making me flinch a little, I couldn't believe how weak I'd become.
When the girl asked if I had any sweatshirts I let out an involuntary growl. I didn't mean to, the only sweatshirt I own was my father's, he's a lying cheating bastard, but he's still my father. When the girl flinched, it made my wolf whimper... which accidently made it through my own lips. I glanced around quick before mumbling a yeah and leaving that room like my life depended on it.
Or my pride.
Which did.
The boy whimpered and stood up quickly only to leave me alone with the woman, still holding the dress. I guess he's not coming back, I sighed and took the dress.
"Um, could you please um, turn around or?" I asked and the woman chuckled and left, closing the door behind her. I stood up, the scars on my body more visible because of my paleness from the cold. I reached for the dress but as I was about to put it on someone stormed into the room, me still naked and uncovered.
I screamed.
I went to my tent and got the hoodie so when I returned to the tent and saw that the girl was changing into the dress I didn't know what to do. I didn't have much time to decide, however, because she let out a loud scream.
The setting changes from The House to The Rouge Camp
The boy from earlier came in through the door or whatever it even was the material, and I screamed. I might have scared him off, but he threw a hoodie at me and I smiled.
"Sorry" I yelled and took the hoodie and put it on. It smelt a lot like him, but also a faint smell of a another male. I went back to bed and took a big breath, smelling the shirt, it smelled amazing. I heard the boy still outside.
"You can come in now" I had yelled, knowing he had good hearing being a wolf.
I came back into the tent to find the girl sitting on the bed with the hoodie on. I gave her a strained smile before sitting in the chair next to her.
"How are you feeling?"
The setting changes from The Rouge Camp to The House
"i'm feeling pretty normal, nothing too bad and nothing too good." I said, nodding me head, covering my legs with the thin sheets fro earlier.
"Where am I?" I asked, I missed my "pack" or rogue clique as other packs called us. I looked the boy straight in the eye, he made me feel so safe and warm, without him even touching me.
I rubbed the back of my neck when she asked where this is. Jane doesn't like us telling things to outsiders. Do I tell her?
"You're in the Rouge Camp."
The boy scratched his neck. Hesitating to answer my question.
"You're are Rouge Camp" he said. All I could say was "oh". When I fled my pack because of the attack, I joined a little rogue "pack", but we split apart to hunt, because there weren't any animals, I wandered around for days before I blacked out and this boy brought me back to his, camp.
I'm not stupid, I know what the signs that I feel for him meant, but my wolf is exhausted and she's resting so I wasn't sure, mum usually told me about mates when I was little, I've always dreamed about a mate, even though it takes all your privacy and I love being alone and bossy. I'll keep quiet for now.
"Who are you?" I asked scooting forward so I sat in front-of-him , but careful to not show my scarred legs.
