“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
Adeline sits on her bed for a few seconds staring at the text: He is going to be there too. She gets up and noiselessly sneaks out of the house. She has to call Nadia and with so many people with super-hearing in the house, she needs to be careful. She walks a little away from the mansion and then calls Nadia’s number who picks it up on the first ring.“What is he coming for?” Asks Adeline with annoyance.“What do you think?”“Ugh... this means you can’t come? This is infuriating, even now, after almost a hundred years we have to meet in secret. I hate it.”“Calm down!” says Nadia, “I am coming.”“What? No, it’s not safe!”
Tyrus is sitting in the hall with Lilia, Damion, and Brent. Esther and Adeline have gone to buy their dresses. Lilia has just finished telling them about Evarius’s invitation to Tasha.“What if he just has a crush on her?” Says Damion.“Oh come on,” says Lilia, “I mean Tasha is beautiful, but she is also a witch and that too of Serafina lineage and he is an original vampire, so a crush, phftt...”“Fine,” Damion says, “if you don’t want to be positive.”“Oh, I wish we could be,” says Lilia, “but anyway, we’ll find out tonight. Tyrus And I will pick Tasha up from her house. So, we’ll leave a little before you guys.”&ldqu
Evarius is standing in the large ballroom. The decoration is indeed beautiful. A stage has been set up to felicitate some members of the town. A few people are already here. He spots the red-headed girl, Lilia, her name is. She is with a guy in an emerald green suit. But he has nothing to do with her, not right now at least. Today, he has eyes for someone else. Would she have accepted his invitation? If not, he’ll have to find some other way to approach her. He is about to walk to the other side of the room when Lilia steps aside and he sees Tasha walking up the stairs to the ballroom. She is wearing the maroon gown he had sent her.Evarius is elated to see Tasha and quickly walks over to her. He holds out his arm to her, she looks up at him, hesitates for a bit, and then takes it.They walk inside, Tasha holding his arm and Evarius looking
Tasha and Evarius are dancing.“So, tell me more about yourself,” says Tasha.“What do you want to know?”“Your age, hobbies, interests, and of course, the ulterior motives for which you are steering a common girl around the ballroom.”“You are not a common girl, that’s the first thing I would like to tell you.”“Because you need something.”“Even if I didn’t.”Evarius looks at her as they draw a little closer dancing to the tune of the song. Her grayish eyes, her red lips, her black hair. There is something very tantalizing about her. The
“Come on!” Lilia says, “Let’s say hello to Emily.”“Um, okay,” says Tyrus, and they walk over to Damion and Emily. She is now giggling about something.“Hi, Em,” Lilia says brightly.“Oh, Hi! I was looking for you, but couldn’t find you, and then this man came along. Since then, it’s been difficult to see anything else.”She bats her eyelids at Damion in a flirty sort of way that brings up an urge in Lilia to shove her, but she controls her instincts and says, “So, where’s your date?”“I don’t know. He must be around, but I don’t care now that I have him.”She lo
Tasha stares at Evarius because she has no idea what to say. She had been thinking about what Evarius would ask her to do and she had come up with a lot of different answers. However, nothing compares to what he has just said.“You want me to help you die?” Tasha repeats slowly to make sure she has heard correctly.“Yes.”She pauses for a second and says, “What do you want me to do? Shall I pick a stake and drive it through you?”“You could do that if you want but it won’t kill me.”“That’s how vampires are killed...”“Yeah, but I am not a normal vampire. I am the original one. The other va
