Lirca C

Lrica is fourteen at beginning of Devil's in The Detail, as it opens with a funeral, it is here that she sees Chloe Drew for the first time in years. As Chloe moved and her school had to be rebuilt elsewhere although the two have extremely regular phone conversations through the years and the story. It is also where the reader is introduced to Nicholas Alaric Yuki-Onna

Hey, Chloe, who is that?" I ask pointing to the really cute, handsome teacher at Pinewood, one of two sons of the late couple the funeral is held for, "Nicholas Yuki-Onna, their eldest son, he's also a teacher."

Lrica seems to forever stare at him, before actually going towards the coffin, standing next to him she sighs and mumbles under her breath about how caring they were to her. This sparks their first conversation, slightly foreboding the negative and somber light at there entire relationship is showed in.

''"How did you know my parents?" a soft voice asks from beside me, pulling me from the warmth of my memories and into the harsh biting cold that we were in. "I- they were friends of my parents, they used to joke that they were as close as siblings, they were babysitting me just days ago." I look up at him, and our eyes seem to lock, his gaze trying to pull me in, closer, He's a vampire, and I'm his mate.''

As the story unfolds we see her change, and gain knowledge she's never had, and it seems to be that the aftermath always end in fear for both parties involved (mainly her and Nick). By the midway point Lrica is nineteen, after a lot of dodging the bush, she finally sits down with Nicholas in his office to talk about their bond -only took five years of careful friendship- it's at this point that she asks if he could come over, as her parents had expressed a wish to see him again. She explains that they were with his parents when he was born and for most of his young child-hood, it's within this block that we see slight tip-toeing to some form of an actual relationship as she lets him lay with her, in her bed.

''"Oh, there aren't any extra beds in my room, just so you know, sir." He smiles "It's fine, Lrya." We looked at each other and came to a silent agreement through nothing at all, walking up the stairs I sighed a sigh of pure relief before opening my bedroom door and getting changed.''
