“Of course!” Brent exclaims, facepalming.
Lilia notices that he is smiling too, and so is Tyrus.
“The main thing was to save Brent and Esther,” says Damion, “as for the ritual, Carl can’t do anything for now.”
“What does that mean?” asks Lilia
“Yeah, the rest of us are missing the point completely,” says Esther.
“Remember,” says Damion, “I told you that Carl can’t reach the third ingredient i.e. the book because I have it.”
Everyone nods.
“Well, he tried,” continues Damion, “I knew he would try to get his hands on the third ingredient now that he thinks he can get Lilia. So, I went to that place to see if he would. He was going
Tasha and Lilia lie in silence for a few minutes, and then Tasha asks Lilia, “Do you like him?” “Who?” “Damion.” “I - I know you don’t like him...” “Who said I don’t like him?” Tasha asks in an incredulous voice. “Well, you guys are always bickering so I assumed- “ “Oh, he just annoys me on purpose, and I give that back to him. But it doesn’t mean I don’t like him. I know he is a fine guy. But I am not asking you if you like him that way.” “I know. The thing is, I don’t know, or maybe I do, but I am not sure.” “Why?” “I h
The group had decided to inform the Junta. They felt that since the Junta wants to protect Lilia from Carl too, it would be appropriate to inform them that they are planning to have Tasha cast a spell on her. It would assuage their fear too. Damion’s grandmother had said that she knew a way to call the Junta, so Brent and Tyrus had gone to her. Meanwhile, Esther had gone for a walk. Adeline didn’t feel like going anywhere, so she decided to stay home and watch TV. As she had been asleep for almost a century, she had tons to catch up on.It had just been fifteen minutes since Esther had left when the bell rang. It took Adeline by surprise. No one other than the people who lived in the house came here. Not without informing, at least, so who could it be? With the events of the past few days, Adeline doesn’t know if it would be prudent to open the gate. As long as she is inside
“So, we can’t get to him either?” Carl says to Luther.“Looks like it.”They are sitting in the lobby of Carl’s house and Luther has just traced Damion’s location on a map that is lying on the table.“It’s a clever move,” says Luther, “stay with the girl. If you can’t get to the girl, you can’t get to him.”“Or he is simply working with her.”“Garrit!” Carl calls out.Garrit comes into the lobby.“Didn’t you say the girl is living with three boys?” asks Carl.
Adeline and Nadia kiss each other and then Nadia says, “You have no idea how much I’ve missed you.”“And you’ve no idea,” says Adeline, “how blown I am by the fact that you waited. All these years, oh Nadia...”Adeline cups Nadia’s face in her hands, looking into her light brown eyes. A tear rolls down Nadia’s face and Adeline wipes it with her thumb. Then, they start kissing again.Both of them lie back on the table, still kissing as Adeline unbuttons Nadia’s shirt and Nadia slides a hand under her dress to pull down her panties. They kiss, bite and lick each other, covering every inch. Throwing in the desperation they had felt for each other over the years.Nadia slides on top
Adeline is pacing in her room. It’s late at night but she cannot sleep. The thoughts of what happened today are badgering her. She had told Nadia what she needed to know. She had decided for herself. For her happiness. But the fact that she has gone against the people who had accepted her into their lives is eating her up. Should she have stayed quiet?She sighs and decides to go and have a drink, otherwise, she won’t be able to sleep. She had not expected anyone to be awake at this time of the night but she sees Tyrus sitting in the hall.“Hey,” she says as he turns around to see her coming.“Hi, can’t sleep?”“No. You?”“Same.”
Evarius is standing at the gate of a large university campus. Beyond the gate, he can see some students roaming around. He had been informed that he would find her here. After almost a century, he is so close again. He walks through the gate and into the campus. He has been told where to find her. If his informant is right and she better be, he would find her in the academic building at this time. He would first look in the library, just to be sure.He walks into the silent library. It is a huge one with rows and rows of book racks. He weaves his way through those books. It is quite early in the day so there are not many people around which is good. He turns left and sees a girl with long red hair peering at books in a section labeled psychology.He walks past her into the other row and here he finds another girl. She has mid-length black hair. As he walks over to her, she turns around and says, “Yes, can I help you?”He looks into her grayish eyes. Her cheeks are flushed a little and
“What the hell is he doing here?” Tasha exclaims. “And when you say ‘original vampire’, what does that mean?”“I have no idea what he is doing there,” says Brent, “but the original vampire is the first vampire ever. All of us have been created from his blood. I don’t know their story, but the Silvan family was the first to turn. I think he has a sister too. I don’t know if any other members of his family turned into vampires or not. Also, I am not sure about any of the details. This is all legend, you know. It happened about two thousand years ago. I have no idea whether such a family actually exists or not. But it is a part of vampire folklore. For all I know, it could be some random vampire going about saying he is Evarius Silvan to create an effect.”“It doesn’t make sense,” says Tasha, “no matter what side of the story we believe, because why come to a random university library and ask someone about the mathematics section? This is just stupid unless there is a lot more to it than
“It’ll be an honor,” says Tyrus in response to Lilia’s question.Even though Brent knows that Lilia and he have broken up for good, a part of him had been wishing for her to invite him. Hadn’t their love story started at a dance night? Some part of him was wishing for that to be replicated. However, the rational part of him thought she would invite Damion. He doesn’t know what to think about the fact that Lilia did not do so. Was it because she felt that he would have been hurt by it? He doesn’t know, maybe he would have been, maybe not. He just wants himself, Lilia, and Damion to be happy, and he would accept if Lilia and Damion’s happiness lies with each other.After a few minutes of more chatting, Lilia goes to her room, saying that she has to decide on a dress for tomo
