Hurray! I did another chapter; this is my new character that I made up that I had warned you about. The two next chapters are going to tell her story in the 1800s, then after that it is going to be in the present.

Enjoy!

Book 2 chapter 1

Jennaveeve Castillos

December 4th, 1845

Mother sent me to give our graces to the new neighbor, whom just arrived, not but a week ago. He is said to be the richest man in Salem, where he moved here from. And now, next to my family, the wealthiest man in Espinoza.

I knocked at his entrance door, hoping for no answer, but my luck was short sided. He opened the door before I had a chance to knock twice.

"Hello, you must be, Jennaveeve Castillos." He said to me in a voice that made my head spin. I looked at his features and was that the man, who was filled with so much power, was no older than 20 years of age. His face was perfect. Not one imperfection to his complexion. He was pale white, with black, brown hair, his eyes were black with a weird-but gorgeous- hint of red around the pupil, and had purple shadows under this eyes. His lips were cherry red, and so visibly plumped, as he smiled at me, illuminating his perfectly straight, white teeth. Even under his clothes, I could see the masculinity of his body, his chest which was so chizzled, he seemed to be carved from stone, with perfection in mind.

I couldn't catch my breath, "Hello," I managed to choke out.

"Your mother said you would be coming out to visit," he explained, "my name is Marvin Dominic,"

"It's a pleasure to meet you," I said,

"The pleasure is all mine," He ended with a smirk as he saw my face become flushed with red.

I soon after returned home and was off to bed.

The next morning, Sir Edwin-one of Marvin Dominic's messengers- was sent to beg my hand in marriage. Only the evening before had I met this man and he wants us to be wed! I had no word in the matter, I had sent off many others asking for my hand, and mother would not let me ruin this one too. Father agreed and it was set for him to come over tonight. We would have a dinner, where he would formally ask for my hand in marriage. No time after Sir Edwin was off, did mother send our messengers to reveal the good news to the others in the Village.

The day had soon come; it seemed as if only a day ago, had Dominic asked me to be his bride and today, when the sun is high above our heads, we will be wed. I had only been in a room with him a few times, I knew nothing about him. And I think that is why mother had kept me far away from him, so I would not chicken out.

Mother had sent for her wedding dress to be tailored for my figure, and to be an exact fit.

When I was dressed the gown was glorious. It fit perfect, and laid flat against my figure. It had a corset and I was almost unable to breath, "Perfect" had my mother gasped. My hair was up in a bun, with diamonds spiraling throughout my hair. The vial was positioned under the bun, running down my back, to my waist.

I walked down the aisle all eyes on me. I've never been one to yearn for attention, but I always got it so I don't mind. Everyone congratulated my parents when word went around about the engagement.

"How lucky you both have become. You produce the most beautiful daughter in Espinoza and now she is compromised to the wealthiest man around. You sure have luck on your side."

By noon we were married and ready to start our new life together. We entered his master bedroom and he carried me to his bed. He laid me down softly and began to kiss me. I had never before been kissed, not before this afternoon at the wedding. His lips landed on mine softly as if asking for permission, I hesitated then gave in. He started kissing me ever so gently then after a few minutes more hungrily, my lips began to hurt, he bit my lower lip and it started to bleed, but he didn't stop. I felt the pain as he pulled my hair and the bun was loose. I tried to get free but there was no use, his hands were pinning me down, I was unable to jerk an inch. He was extremely powerful and I was a weak girl. He started to tear at my dress, forcing it off me.

"STOP!" I repeated over and over, but he was far from over. His eyes were wild, animal like. He was unresponsive."PLEASE! I BEG YOU STOP!" but he kept going as If I said nothing. I began to cry with more exasperation. The pain was unbearable. I yelled, and cried but finally I had no more fight inside me. My body gave up.

Then he did something I did not expect. He bit me neck. The pain he left behind as far worse than I could have imagined. It felt like there was fire; I was burning from the inside. I instinctively reached for my neck, my hands were burning, my legs too; my whole body.

"HELP!" I yelled but the house was empty. He had sent everybody away." WHAT HAVE YOU DON'T TO ME?" I ordered squirming around the bed.

"Don't you understand you fool? I gave you the gift of eternal life." He said with o regret in his voice. "You should be thanking me."
