After The Night 26 - Question of Loyalty (Part 2)
Nate stirred in his seat at her words. "Are they heading here to attack us? Right now?" He raised his voice for the first time. That was how he was, he barely talked. He preferred listening quietly until the need to ask a question struck him.Trish shook her head and smiled sadly."That brings us to the good news. Until yesterday, I believed the thing was mythical but today he just showed up carrying a long bone and said that's the thing they had been looking for. But apparently, the artefact we found is incomplete. It's missing a part. The new alpha is positive he'll find it in a few days but even then, the plan isn't to attack until the next blood moon."Eira asked tentatively, "The Blood Moon? That's next month, right?"Trish nodded but a sour look covered her face. "On my twentieth birthday. Yes. Jake had promised me a wonderful date," She squealed and her eyes were lost somewhere else for a second. "B

"You're the one who doesn't know the full story. I asked Damien to get rid of Cameron, the former alpha."Something in the air shifted. The winds that were once gentle now blew harshly. Eira could feel the air nibbling at her open arms and she hugged herself while her mind absorbed the meaning of Trish's words. When the shock passed, she opened her trembling lips to speak but Nate beat her to it."What? Damien killed him because you said so?"Trish raised her arms in defence, "Well, I didn't ask him to kill the alpha. I'm not half as mad as Damien." She pressed her lips together and her eyes lowered to her feet when she continued, "Cameron—The alpha...He wanted to sacrifice the pack in a ritual to become immortal. I realised it now but he possessed the Videns viribus—perhaps the other part of it as well. It was going to play a part in the ritual. He ha

The beast lurched forward with a growl. Its hairy arms pushed aside tree branches that blocked its vision. Sharp talons extending from its hands swayed across the air in an attempt to grab hold of the running target, but it missed by an inch. The shadow of his hunched figure easily towered over her. Under its heavy clawed feet, the twigs lying on the forest floor twisted and cracked. Even with slow steps, it managed to keep up with the girl's fast legs—just close enough but not about right.The full moon peeked from above but refused to provide any help to either the prey or her predator.Eira ran quicker when she heard another growl kiss her back. This dream was different—she knew it only a dream, but she knew she had to run. While in the former ones the beast had been farther away from her, this time it managed to get so close that its hairy fur brushed against her bare skin and claws buried themselves in her back, drawing three large slant-cuts. Blood oozed from

As soon as the waitress arrived with a steaming cup of black coffee and placed it on their table, Eira picked it up and took a sip.“Ouch!” She yelped when her tongue burnt. In the process of placing the cup back on the wooden table, she spilt some of the hot liquid on it earning a

Shortly after completing the blood-linking spell, Eira and Bella bid farewell to each other and parted ways. The former walked back to Ivywood High which was at the distance of five-minutes from the cafeteria and entered the underground parking lot.She strolled in the dark, empty area, headin

“No, Dana! You’re not listening to me,” Eira tried to reason with the young girl but her voice came out rough due to the rising frustration within her. “I asked you to tell me about Nate. Not Damien. Nate.”

Some things that once made sense to Arabella didn't make sense anymore. Not after she left the cafeteria. Her mind was muddled with confusion and questions. It seemed as if some parts of her memory had been deleted or changed. She felt uneasy at the thought. It wasn't simply possible. Not unless she was becoming insane.

Eira felt her palms growing cold and numb with sweat and inside her ribcage, her heart beat frantically. She wet her lips, regarding the girl in front of her with a sympathetic gaze before she said firmly, "Dana, there's something you need to know."Dana raised her red-rimmed eyes to look at her and sniffed. "What?" She asked, wiping her cheeks but the tears had already dried up.

After The Night Epilogue
[JOSH]Even ten days after the massacre at the Black Hall, not a single soul involved that day could stop thinking about how all of it could've been prevented if only a few trustful, true words had been exchanged. The effect was seen on each one. Many lost their lives and many others people who they cared about. The signs of recovery however were blooming all around. People were forgiven for their bad deeds out of the kindness of the hearts of those who had been at the suffering end. Surprising to Josh, Eira had been strangely calm about having Raven in the mansion. The latter refused to return to the Black Hall and although she denied it, the warlock knew, deep inside she was mourning for Alexander. Nate—another surprise to him—had been chosen to represent the vampires in the supernatural coucil. The bloodsuckers had been oddly agreeable and united about peace—again another surprise for the warlock."Are you giving up already?" Josh asked when he saw Eira lazily throw the herbs in

[EIRA]Somewhere along her way, Hela found her and did not miss the chance to pounce over the witch, pinning her to the cold, hard floor underneath. As the claws on her fingers dug into the skin of her shoulder, Eira screamed but also, the very next moment, she snapped her fingers, twisting Hela&rsq
After The Night 68 - The Source
[JOSHUA]The only way was to escape. They could neither not stop the hoard of vampires nor the werewolves. There were too many of them. And the witches had his mind in a knot. How could he somehow get rid of them? They were only astral projecting. No spell could throw them off.

[RAVEN]"We need to leave today, Alex. Have you packed yet? Or you need any help?" She said swaying her arms around, pretending to ignore the lines on his forehead."How dare you?" Alexander barked at her before she could draw in a single breath.Raven stared into his eyes, her brows raised in confusion. "Is everything okay?"His jaws clenched together tighthly, making her frown. What had made him this angry in the morning?"How dare you betray me?" He shouted at her with a voice that made her flinch. "I raised you like my own daughter, took you in when the people who you shared blood with cursed and kicked you out and this is how you repay me?""I don't know what you mean?" She raised her head but even she could not miss the uncertainty in her own voice."Claudia, Nigel, Ben, Will. Is that enough or do I need to elaborate?" The vein of his temple seemed ready to burst any second. But all she really cared about at that moment was how
After The Night 64 - The Plan
[RAVEN]When Raven woke up that morning, she could not help but notice the unusual quiet surrounding her. The ruins of the Black Castle, now known as the Black Hall, housed a hundred town vampires, most of which were labelled with the Mark of Aurora. As soon as the sun rose, they would bustle around
