Allure Of The Night-Novel

Hearing Rosetta's words, Eve's eyes slightly widened and she turned to look at her friend, and whispered, "Do you have plans to run from here?"

Rosetta cleared her throat, "I thought it had a ty of its own. Maybe it won't be bad," and her shoulders slumped in disappointment. She said, "I feel like I am trying to gain affections from a wall that doesn't see or hear me."

Eve wasn't sure if she should feel pity for Rosetta or Eugene. She had noticed the disinterested face on Eugene's face, when he was serving food in the dining room, while Rosetta had 'tried' to look at him subtly. She asked,

"Did he say anything else apart from rejecting your feelings?"

Rosetta nodded with a tired sigh as if the world was ending. The vampiress pushed her fangs that had appeared with her thumb and replied, "He said he couldn't offer or look after me the way my parents have. Which I am aware of, but my parents are going to have no money soon and we'll both be in the same status, won't we?" She held a thoughtful expression.

It seemed like her friend was missing Eugene's point here, Eve thought. And she asked, "Rosetta, have you carefully considered it?" She asked this not because she had seen Rosetta's spoiled self but because the reality was, Rosetta wasn't built for the life of a servant. She noticed her friend furrowed her eyebrows, and she said, "I don't mean to discourage you. If Eugene agrees, will you be able to sleep on the floor? Clean people's used plates and mop the floor? These are little things. Maybe you can start with something small that will put the point across to him." Eve wanted Rosetta to be sure of her feelings and not to be swept by the whirlwind of romance.

"Point across him?" Rosetta looked up at Eve as if consulting for any suggestion.

Eve nodded, "You can ask him if he needs any help, show him that you are willing to lower your status to a servant."

Rosetta was not like Lady Aurora. She was innocent, sheltered, and though arrogant, she appeared ready to learn.

"I see," Rosetta nodded. She then asked, "What do I do about Blythe? She's going to keep following me everywhere!"

"I will distract her and keep her busy. In the meantime, you can try to speak to Eugene and sway his heart," Eve offered her friend a bright smile, and a twinkle entered Rosetta's eyes. She then placed her hand on the vampiress's arm, "Eugene and I... we are upset with what happened to Lady Aubrey. But that doesn't mean we are angry at you. You never tried to hurt her, it was your mother."

"Thank you for having such a kind heart, Eve. I knew you were the best person as my friend," Rosetta said enthusiastically and muttered under her breath, "It is a mystery how you ended up with such a vile person."

"What?" Eve asked, as she didn't catch Rosetta's words and the vampiress shook her head. She said, "But make sure no one finds out about it. Don't act suspicious. Not in front of that maid nor Marceline."

Rosetta nodded, "I will keep that in mind and make sure not to do that!" Still with the same enthusiasm, she asked, "Shall I meet Eugene now?"

It seemed like Rosetta was too in love, and Eve nodded, "I will try distracting Blythe. I will leave from here first, and have her follow me."

Rosetta turned emotion for the support she was receiving. She quickly put her arms around Eve before hugging her. She said tearfully, "You are a good person, Eve. I cannot tell how much this means, what you are doing. Even my own parents went against my feelings, and the people I thought were my friends, they had nothing but ill words behind my back. And here you are... I hope one day I can be as remarkable as you, Eve."

Eve gently rubbed Rosetta's back, "You are already good the way you are, Rosetta. We all have our positives and negatives, and need a little tuning on how to handle things." Before the vampiress would squeeze her to death in her arms, Eve said, "I should get going so that you have time." And soon the vampiress loosened her hold on her and took a step back.

Rosetta took a deep breath and exhaled, "I am ready."

"Please be careful," Eve had little faith when it came to Rosetta not bringing trouble, but she hoped the vampiress would be more cautious.

Eve stepped away from the balcony and made her way through the quiet and lonely corridor. As she turned to another corridor, she noticed Lady Aurora's maid taking a peek as if wanting to follow her without letting her know.

The maid, Blythe, slowly tiptoed as if she were doing her work. She passed the balcony where Rosetta stood, following Eve until the end of the corridor, wanting to see if the human would leave for her room.

Eve decided to confuse the maid and paused her feet. She looked left and right before starting to walk to Vincent's room. On seeing this, the maid narrowed her eyes and quickly followed, wanting to see if this human was trying to provoke her lady.

Candles burned brightly in the corridors, keeping the mansion bright in the candles' golden light. Eve continued to walk and when she reached the corridor where Vincent's room was located, the maid waited for her to step inside his room, ready to run back to the Wright's mansion to report about this.

But Eve paused her feet in the middle of the corridor again, only to end up walking down the stairs and towards the study room.

Blythe followed Eve, waiting for the right time to catch the human with the pureblooded vampire. While in the meantime, Rosetta took this opportunity to find Eugene so she could woo him.
