Chapter 1

Cassandra Evans woke in a cold sweat, tangling her hands in her shaggy hair she sat up. She tried to calm her breathing as her dream continued to play over and over in her head. It was like a song on repeat, eventually it gets stuck in your head and no matter what you do you just can't seem to get it out.

Why she was having theses dreams she didn't know. She never had dreams like these before, not even when she was growing up. These dark, erotic and sensual dreams had been going on for a week now, and every night they seemed to get longer and even more erotic than the night before. The same man played the star in every one of her dreams. He was dark, mysterious, not to mention he was undeniably sexy.

His body was what every man would kill for, muscles that rippled every time he moved, even the slightest movement made his muscles ripple. Broad shouldered, with a thin waist not to mention perfect tanned skin, as if he was always lounging in the sun. He was 6 foot 5 with black hair in perfect silky curls framed his face, falling to his shoulders. He had sharp cheek bones, full lips and dark lashes that made his black eyes more dramatic and more intense than ever before. They were so black you couldn't even tell he had an iris, two pools of black ink. They seemed to see into her soul, every time she looked into his eyes. Every time he spoke to her in his deep, sensual British accent made her weak at the knees. When he looked at her; it just soul searing. Never had a man shown her so much love or devotion, not even her friends or her brother, and it scared her.

A knock on her door brought Cassandra from her troubled musing. She stood, walked to her door, and opened it. It was her brother Elijah, or Eli for short.

Eli was the perfect replica of their father. At the age of 19 was at the height of 6 foot 3. He was tall, lanky and muscular. Not to mention he was extremely handsome. He had white blond hair that naturally styled in a 'just got out of bed look' no matter what he did to it. His eyes were the color of ice, a piercing pale blue that sent shivers down your spine when he looked at you. His skin was pale as alabaster, giving him that vampiric look. If he was gothic, he could easily pass for a vampire.

"Good mornin' shortie, boy you look awful. You need to get ready! It's your first day of school! You're going to be a junior this year!" He said examining the dark circles under her eyes, and messy, tangled hair.

"Yeah, I haven't got a lot of sleep lately." She said rolling her eyes. He gave her a wicked grin before walking back down the hall to his own room. She glared at his back until he was out of sight.

Eli was always playing dad. Over bearing and over protective most of the time, but he did do his best. Ever since their parents had died he had taken it upon himself to raise and take care of her. He quit school and got a job. He was always working and was only home in the morning to take her to school and on Sunday, but even then she rarely got to see him because he was working from his office in the house. He was strong that was for sure, and that's why she loved him so much. No matter what came their way, good or bad, he was ready to fight. She smiled at the thought. Her brother was nothing short of a miracle.

She walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. Stripping out of her night gown she stepped into the water and let it run over her body. As she washed her body, her mind couldn't help but drift to the man in her dreams. No matter how many times she asked, he never would give her his name. He knew hers and everything about her, but she knew nothing about him. That was one of the many things about him that scared her. Another was the fact that when he touched her body or looked into her eyes she felt like melting. She had never felt anything so intense before she had began having these dreams. Hell, before a week ago she was a normal teenager with normal dreams, but now she thought something was wrong with her.

She continued to ponder the thought as she finished her morning routine after getting out of the shower. She brushed her teeth, shaved, brushed and dried her hair and put on deodorant.

She wrapped a towel tightly around her body and walked out of her bathroom to her closet. She picked out and put on her favorite dark wash skinny jeans, black flats and the schools white button up short sleeve shirt and tie with the schools emblem on it. It was a cute look for her. She walked over to the vanity next to her bed and sat down in front of it. It was covered in makeup, brushes, hair ties, liners, you name it, and it was on there.

She reached for the cover up and tried to squirt some on her hand. Nothing came out.

*Damn.* She thought. She had wanted to cover up the dark circles under her eyes. So she settled on her everyday make up routine which consisted of black eyeliner, mascara, and some chapstick. The look was simple and easy.

She grabbed her bag and ran out the door and down the stairs to where Eli stood impatiently.

"Good grief. What took so long?" He asked causing her to roll her eyes. She brushed past him and got in the passenger side of her brothers black Hummer.

"Nic is going to baby sit you this evening." Eli informed her as he pulled out of their driveway,

"Why?"

"Because I have to work. You know that." He said. He always worked late.

"I should've known that, that was just a stupid question on my part." She said.

"I'm sorry baby. You know I need this job."

"I know. I just wish you would spend some time together, like we used to do before…they died."

"Aw honey, how about I take off tomorrow and it can be just the two of us. We can go where ever you want to go."

"Promise?" She asked as he pulled up in front of the school.

"Promise. Have a good day at school kid." He said causing her to smile. She hugged her brother before getting out of the car. She heard him drive away as she turned and looked up at the castle.
