Getting interrupted during a cycle count was annoying, especially by his always chipper assistant, Draven. Whatever qualities every possessed Markus to think he was a good fit this position escaped his memory at the moment.
“Good morning, sir. I have your list of assignments for the day.”
“Fine. I’ll get to them right after I finish my list from yesterday.”
“Someone’s grumpy this morning.”
Markus knew his replay had lacked the usual polite professionalism he normally strove for, but in his own defense…okay he wasn’t sure why he was irritable.
“Do you even know what’s it’s like not to be ecstatically happy?”
Smiling indulgently the smaller man, with neatly trimmed blond hair shook his head. Looking up at his longtime friend, Markus realized

Taking the gently from his friend’s hand he unfurled, and gave it a little shake to activate it before laying it onto his desk. It began displaying information on this year’s tribute.
Draven’s taunt voice quickly spoke before he could get in out a rejection. “My Maria said she knows the lady Emily. Flip to her image.”
Huffing out an exasperated breath, he swiped his finger sideways pulling over a large facial close up. His chest tightened and for one brief moment he forgot how to breathe. The woman looking back at him had pale porcelain skin, large emerald green eyes and long dark hair. He fresh innocent face stared worriedly into the imager as she bit her bottom lip. Someone in the room must have spoken because she looked off to the side and laughed. It was cute how her shoulders scrunched up and she threw her head back.
Gasping his surprise, Markus spoke without meaning to. “You say her name is Emily.”
“Emily Jenson. Her father is the human prefect.”
“Hell’s fire, what did she do to anger the man enough to make her a tribute bride?”
“Perhaps their fawning, overly-solicitous favor currying with the humans has finally paid off and this is meant to demonstrate they now regarded the Vampiere as worthy mates for their daughters.”
Snorting a laugh Markus, was too jaded by his experience with humans
I enjoyed looking at her. She was a slender, small-breasted girl with an erect carriage, which she accentuated by throwing her body backward at the shoulder like a young cadet. Her gray sun strained eyes looked back at me with polite reciprocal curiosity out of a wan, charming, disconcerted face.” Nothing in those lines expresses the excitement and passion that a man whose truly attracted to a woman displays when they are interested and wants to date you. There was definitely no butterflies in his stomach for
Even though her lips are a brilliant red, she holds her mouth rigidly and her dark eyes display little emotion. She cautiously sits in a mucus-green-and-yellow chair. Demonstrating a sense of discomfort and unease, her right-hand grasps her ankles. Her see-through top with applique details leaves her vulnerable. Bluntly, she looks sad.
Emily’s upbringing is plagued with difficulties. She is the first-born of a young mother and the eldest of five brothers and sisters. As a baby, she is
when she states “hell hath no fury like a Baptist preacher” (Kingsolver, 8). She is sacrificing
“Mom please, stop!” I looked into her glaring big, green eyes. When we went grocery shopping a week ago, someone had said that we look alike. I could never really see the resemblance. Feature-wise, she looked disgusting. Her hair was put up, but it wasn’t like most people’s, where it was brushed and put up. No, it was thrown up, with an uneven array of bumps and knots. I couldn’t even stand to look at her for very long.
Mrs.Gulon had wavy, shiny blonde hair that went three inches past her shoulders. She was tall and slim and her face was one and a half inches smaller than a normal size face. There was a four inch wide, one inch tall half bump on her face. The bump had light blue eyes and a nose. The nose was shaped like a baby's nose but only a titch smaller. Below
The shared condition amongst the vampires is not truly bonding; the powerful only use others’ vampirism to deceive them, to get them to carry out their dirty
Eventually, he ripped the quilt off of him, and stood in an upright position. Soon enough, he studied his face in the mirror. His curly, tangled black hair vexed him so deeply. The freckled, tear-stained cheeks on his face caused his heart to shatter. His hazel eyes
As the petite woman moved out of the way, Coley got a clear view of the valiant offender; a girl, cheeky smirk aimed at the fuming Frenchwoman, bright brown eyes the very picture of innocence. She diverted her gaze to grin at Coley with unbelievably white teeth (stark against her beautifully tanned skin); a motion lasting only a fraction of a second, but it was enough to make Coley’s heart stutter with some kind of incredible force in a way it never had before.
He laughed, "Yes, 'Everybody's happy nowadays.' We begin giving the children that at five. But wouldn't you like to be free to be happy in some other way, Lenina? In your own way, for example; not in everybody else's way."
Lori’s face had aged, not much in the sense of years but in worry. Her oval face was framed with baby hairs that were too short to make it into the bun on her head that contained the rest of her deep brown hair. One of the first things you notice about Lori is her deep jade eyes, but upon looking at those eyes you can see the sorrow that lies within.
The mascara and eyeliner dribbling down her cheeks, dark bags underneath her eyes contrasting against her pale skin, deep wrinkles between her furrowed eyebrows. I chuckle silently and ponder, looking out the window, “Ah… the truth. Where do I begin…”
But with tears running down his face and mumbling to himself that he could love no other like her but God, and that he would avenge her death with vengeance and the prices they
During the course of Madame Cheron’s death, an upcoming battle is occurring upon Udolpho, a siege of the castle which potentially can risk Montoni’s assets, which is Emily’s inheritance. In order to risk not losing his power, he sends Emily to Tuscany to stay there until this spontaneous siege is over. As the siege is almost over, Emily is returned to the castle, where she remains imprisoned. Hearing Valancourt may be prisoner in the castle, Emily, Ludovico, and Annette go in search to see if the prisoner truly is Valancourt. It turns out to be Monsieur Du Point. Rather than be held in the prison any longer, Monsieur Du Point, Annette, Ludovico all take the opportunity to escape. Emily’s choice of leaving the castle resulted in Emily finally recognizing the opportunity of escaping from tyrannical oppression of Montoni. The movement between the house in Tuscany, along with the move back to Udolpho makes Emily decide to escape the tyranny of Signor Montoni. Emily’s choice in the spontaneous escape leads her into an acceptance of her power and self-worth. The recognition of her power and self-worth comes from the realization of how much of a prisoner she is to Signor Montoni. This conclusion results in her becoming aware that she needs to run before it is too late. Her escape is a symbolic recognition of her power, as she becomes aware of the tyrannical oppression she will continue to be
She studied his face, something which she had never taken much time to do before. His skin, pale and smooth stood in stark comparison to his otherwise dark features. Dark eyes, and dark hair, which he had styled away from his face, a few pieces had sweeping onto his forehead. There were dark circles under his
