Damien

Damien walked through the door of Sterling Library, the woman behind the counter nodding to him when he held up an old antique key.

Sterling Keep was home to every record of the witch, wolf, and vampire communities going back five hundred years. Including births, deaths, and history. Damien cut through fiction, and the irony wasn’t lost on him. The dozen or so patrons spread throughout paid him no mind. Barely looking up from their pages.

If these people knew the secrets this building kept…

He glanced behind him before shoving the skeleton key into an old lock. Cold, musty, dank air attested to the age of the building. Lucien personally saw to the remodeling upstairs and out, but the libraries basement remained untouched.

He fumbled with his phone, the flashing lighting his path and he followed the steps down. Feeling around the stone wall, he found the switch and flipped it on. The overhead light fixtures flickered on with a static buzz. In the center of the room were two tables. Tall bookcases stretched the walls from corner to corner, floor to ceiling. Every shelf was filled with thick, old ledgers.

Damien scanned the shelves, one by one, until he found 1720. He set it down on the table and opened it up, the pages dusty and frail. Standing over it, studying each handwritten line, he found the entry.

Name: Frost, Lucien Elliot

Donor: Night, Adrian Oliver (WW)

Date: January 17, 1720

Father: Frost, Julian Michael (V)

Mother: Frost, Dianna Lyn (WW)

He dragged a hand down his face before leaning over the pages. Shit. What possible reason would Julian have to name one of his sons after the donor? It made no sense to him, and he didn’t like the idea beginning to root in the back of his mind. He went back to the bookcases, pulled out another book, opened it, and found his name. It read the same.

Name: Frost, Damien Michael

Donor: Night, Adrian Oliver (WW)

Date: April 9, 1727

Father: Frost, Julian Michael (V)

Mother: Frost, Dianna Lyn (WW)

He glanced up at the bookcases.

Shit.

He pulled a ledger from 1730 off the shelf and set it down on the table, paging through until he found the entry.

Name: Night Frost, Oliver Julian

Date: February 3, 1730

Father: Night, Adrian Oliver (WW)

Mother: Frost, Dianna Lyn (WW)

Spouse: Frost, Julian Michael (V)

“Oh, God.”

Ollie’s going to be ridiculous about this.

He swiped his phone from the table and called Lucien. Ollie’s name was a jab at Adrian. Rubbing salt in the wound. No wonder Adrian was indifferent with us.
