VAMPIRE CLAN HIDEOUTLUCASIn a large long room, a man is standing behind the window, both hands slipped into the pockets of the black pants he wore. He is 6’2 tall, chiseled hard face. His name is Lucas, the leader of the vampire clan. A century old but still very handsome.A lady vampire leapt up behind him, almost in a sneaky manner. Her fangs shot out and her eyes changed colors but as she made to lean in towards Lucas, he dodged to his right, swiftly turned and caught her by her neck.Her name is Lauretha. Third in command in the vampire clan. Fifty years of age but looked extremely young.“Did you think I wouldn’t know you was here?” he questioned holding her throat tightly.She groaned and lets her fangs snaps back to her teeth. “Shit! why do you always have to be so sensitive…” she grunted as her eyes sparkled up at him.He loosened his grip on her and turned back to stare out of the window.“You seem to be in a fix. What are you thinking about? Something’s up?” she asked and
MATTEO RODRIGUEZMatteo Rodriguez has just gotten back from his morning exercise. His body dripped of sweat and smelt of fresh leaves and of woods. He marched straight to the fridge and grabbed a sachet of packaged blood. He tore it open with one bite and gulped the whole content at a go. He wheezed out air and hissed noisily with a squeezed face. There was nothing better than drinking human blood.For some years now, the vampires have stayed hidden after been hunted down by the humans. Now they mostly fed on packaged blood gotten from animals. He feared he might not have been able to control the desire to taste a human blood if he had come in contact with one as he trained that morning as his recent craving for human blood had gotten quite desperate in the past few days.Animal blood tastes like shit to him if not to all vampires. He was just about to head into the bathroom to wash up when the doorbell rang.He groaned, turned to go get the door.He peeped through the camera as he go
Eleanor broke into a full run after she got out of the hospital. The thought of having her family see her as a monster broke her heart. She thought of going to Elisa but her head wasn’t having it. She couldn’t afford to hurt another person. She wanted to be away from everyone and alone. And so she ran, breathlessly down the street. Even as she ran, the restlessness she felt kept tugging at her chest. She kept having this feeling of a being in her but she strongly shut her head against it.She screeched to a stop at a convenience store, dashed in and grabbed a bottled water from the display shelf and walked to the sales counter. She noticed the moment she stepped into the place and headed for the water section, she got unusual stares from people also buying stuff. Eleanor ignored them, she has had a lot for the day to care about people’s stupid stares.She grabbed the water and walked down to the sales counter.“Here.” she dropped the water on the counter and waited for the lady to sca
“Dad, Uncle Bob…” Howard called quietly after Eleanor had left the ward.“Yes Howard. Do you feel any pain in any part of your body or do I just call the doctor?” Dad asked him worriedly.Howard nodded no and then kept mute. He was wondering if he should spill what he saw and knew or not. His only sister now feared him. The flash of what her eyes had looked like seconds before she pushed him flashed in his head. It was like a sparkling fire. He had never seen his sister act so strange and unusual. But then he worried that telling their dad and uncle could cause more trouble for her.“You must speak to save her, what if she is sick or in trouble…what if she hurts someone else out there…you must speak to save her…” another voice told him.He groaned.“Howard? are you sure you don’t need the doctor?”“Eleanor is behaving strange….and different…” he blurted.His dad and uncle squinted in confusion at him. “What do you mean by strange?” uncle Bob asked curiously.“I can’t really say but th
ELEANOR’S POV I heard Elisa’s last words to me as I parted with her. I was angry, mad but above all sad that my trusted friend had been lying to me all along. She must be shameless to have brought my family into this. I wasn’t going to ask dad anything. Hurting Howard was enough and I am not willing to make them distrust me further. “Eleanor…you have been a fool all along…” I muttered sadly to myself. In all these, tears refused to drop from my eyes. I was just walking with nowhere in mind as my direction. I felt my shoulder brush past people but I neither knew what they looked like nor when they passed as I felt only numbness. “Listen to your friend. She might have hurt you but you don’t think she would ever lie to you with your family…” a voice said within me. It was that strange tiny voice in me again, always sounding as if it was part of me, as though it knew anything about me. I grounded my teeth and forced myself to not hear the voice. “Aren’t you ever curious why you grew u
HOURS BACKLucas stood in his favorite spot, behind the window whose blinds have been drawn away and gazed out of the window down the street. He let the time tick in his head as he waited for his two most trusted people to arrive. It was finally time he told them everything as he had promised. The other day he had gone and confirmed that truly the Crescent pack exists.Moments later, he heard the sound of their shoes accompanied by their bickering. He had left the door open knowing they would soon arrive.“So, what is this you have to tell us?” Fabiano asked as he turned one of the seats around to face the direction Lucas was facing and then slumped into it. “Ooof! I still have another shift to run in an hour’s time.”“Baby,” Lauretha crept up behind him and whispered. She planted a kiss on his cheeks. “So…what is it you have for us?”He turned to face them, then to Fabiano he said specifically, “You certainly would lose interest in that job of yours after you heard all I have to say.
Eleanor stirred and slowly her eyes began to squint open. Everything seem blurry as she tries to force herself to wake.“I should be dead…where am I? heaven or what…” the question rang in her.She remembers while she schooled abroad how some religious teachers made mention of a dead person waking up either in paradise or somewhere they call hell. That moment, Eleanor couldn’t tell which one she has managed to find herself in. She did a few bad things and maybe didn’t deserve the paradise but why wasn’t she feeling pain and being burned in some fiery fire? She felt warm, peace, quietness and even the breeze blowing her skin.Her eyes heavy at first, but gradually she forced it open. It was met with a tall figure that had his back turned against her. He seemed to be busy staring ahead into what she couldn’t see.Eleanor blinked. She tried to sit up and scan where she was but felt a sharp pain around her neck and body. She bit her lips to muffle back the groans that made to leave her lip
ARTHUR’S POVAre humans always this weak?I mean I had always known they were weaklings but I had no idea it would be this terrible. I stared at the unconscious body of the human girl, much to my detest, my mate now and exhaled with irritation.I sighed and sat beside her. The rest of my life was going to be a long one. Mated to the one with the blood I hate with my whole life.FLASHBACKAfter my annoying cousin, Maxwell had left, I angrily left the house hoping to die where no one would ever find my carcass. As I walked, I felt an energy that something bad would happen to my mate. I don’t care about her one bit and so I ignored the feeling and walked on. But the warning became stronger so much that I could not focus nor continue in my journey. I knew it was only a matter of time before the full moon appeared and also my death. That is if the curse would happen. Going to save her would mean me accepting our mate bond. Something I would never do.But then the force got stronger and str
WRITER'S POV The news of the human intruders spread through the entire pack and the elders of the crescent pack gathered to discuss the issue at hand. "Order for the death of the humans, Alpha Arthur!" One of the elders roared. "Yes, Kill them! They not only invaded our pack but killed some of our men! They don't deserve to live. Besides, if we set them free, who can tell if they won't come back to hunt us like they did in the past!" "No way! It will be at our own risk to kill them!" A calm looking elder said but he was soon attacked by the others calling for the head of the human intruders. "If they don't return to their homes, do you think we will all be safe!?" He charged again. "Still we must kill them before they kill us!!" An angry elder yelled. "No, Alpha Arthur, let's hear from them first! We must know their reason for coming into our pack!" The elders soon fell into argument with each person taking a side. Arthur marked the faces of the elders and the side they
VAMPIRE CLANLucas stood behind the window and starred out. It wasn't as though that was his favorite position in the house but whenever he found himself there was always when his head had a lot to think.Many things bothered him. He was getting news of Matteo's invasion to the human world but what bothered him the most was the involvement of the some of the elders. "Those darn elders should have known better…" he gritted. He wanted to punish them all. He knew it was the right thing to do but he couldn't. It wasn't as easy as anyone else would think. He needs a solid proof to be able to punish them. What if half the elders are already on Mateo's side? He sighed and swallowed hard. He only need to cut Matteo off and all this will end. But how?He can't let them keep invading the human world. The last war between them didn't end well for them vampires. With Matteo's acts, he feared the war was lurking again if the Humans discovers their hideout. After sometime he craved to speak to
WRITER'S POVThat night, Arthur never came back in. Eleanor was up and waited long for him and was worried until sleep took her while she waited. By morning he still didn't get back in. Her worry heightened. When she couldn't bear it anymore, she stepped out of the room. "What if I stay in and he never returns? What if he had gotten hurt by the intruders?""Oh shit, stop thinking nonsense." She forced herself to not think about negative things. She bellowed on one of the guards guarding her to come closer when she stepped outside. "What is going on? Were the intruders caught?""Yes my Luna. They were captured and taken to the dungeon as per the Alpha's orders.""Ah. Good to hear. " She sighed in relief. Then what on earth was keeping Arthur from coming to me….she wondered as she stood there hoping that Arthur would appear from the door somehow. "Those damn humans! How dare they show their ugly weak faces in our pack!" Three maids were gathered around a corner, hands akimbo with
WRITER'S POV"Stop there!" A loud voice commanded them. The three men hid behind the wall as they waited for the guards. Mr Samuel agreed they split up to scatter the guards. "I will stall them. You must go on. Whoever finds Eleanor must take her and leave first. Don't wait for the rest of us…""But…" Mr Samuel tried to protest. Uncle Bob gripped his shoulder tight as his gait and gaze focused on him. "We are here for her and you must leave once you get hold of her." Uncle Bob said, their gaze held. It was already clear to them the moment they agreed to take the risk of stepping foot into the werewolf world that they were at the risk of losing even their own lives in the process. "What of me…I don't know…" Detective Rob blurted. He was more afraid of when the men would decide to show their real self. Their wolf form.They splitted and went different paths while Uncle Bob remained behind. To confuse the guards, he briefly made a run revealing his location and quickly went into hidi
WRITER'S POV"Erm, excuse me but what is it you are having in the bag. It looks quite… heavy." The rookie detective, Detective Rob asked the two elderly men as he joined them on the spot they had all agreed to meet. "If there's need for force to get my daughter back then I wouldn't hesitate." Mr Samuel teeth clenched as he zipped the bag. "Erm, force? That's erm not really advisable. I mean they sort of look scary sometimes but I think they are peaceful people…peaceful wolves actually…"Uncle Bob strapped the bag across his shoulder ignoring Detective Rob. "Wait!" He blocked his path and demanded to have a look at the content of the bag. "What? What's with the guns and weapons?" Detective Rob exclaimed in shock as he looked into the bag. "No, I can't let you do this. I was asked only to show you the way and not let you start a fight! Besides I believe your daughter is safe and part of them…"Uncle Bob grabbed him by the collar. "What did you just say…" His eyes burnt in fury.
WRITER'S POVHarold and Matteo's plan worked. Some of the vampire elders agreed to his deal. "We will make you the vampire leader and ruler of this clan if you can keep to your words." One ọf the elders had said on the day they had a secret meeting. Matteo smirked. He was already having ideas in his head. If killing the weak humans was all it would take him to get what he wants, then he needn't think about it. "Yes, I will keep to my promise and you will also keep your promise."The elders nodded in agreement. If betraying Lucas would make them begin to drink the real blood, then they have no choice. Matteo began to infiltrate the human world and soon the humans began to disappear into thin air. Especially the female ones targeted as weak. Meanwhile, the rookie detective that has missed his way in the werewolf world somehow managed to find his way back to the human world. He told Captain Depay and detective Joha what he saw. "The werewolves are peaceful people. I doubt they are
ELEANOR'S POVHe halted and turned to meet my eyes. "Should we go to my room for a second?"I blinked and my blood rushed. What…what exactly is he thinking…did he find out I was feeling hot…keep calm Eleanor. I shook my head out of the thoughts. "Erm, then what about dinner?" I stuttered. He closed the gap between us. His gaze plastered on me and burning passionately against me. "I want you right now, Eleanor…" he breathed. Fuck, I saw the lines of his chiseled face tightened. But maybe not as much as my vagina tickled. I wanted him too, that very damn moment. "Okay, let's go in for just a sec…just for a second." I said shyly and before I could say jack, I found myself in the air but only that this time I was shielded beneath by big arms and he was practically striding in long steps into his room. How long it took us to get into the room eluded my reasoning as the hotness I felt in me took away my sanity for that moment until I felt him lowering me into the bed. He knelt befo
ARTHUR'S POVEleanor decided to punish me by puking on my body. Worst is her collapsing after commiting such a terrible act. I wonder how much she had drank. The rest of the morning hours was too restless for me.What? She went to clubbing??! How could Dennis take her to a clubhouse of all places. She hadn't just went to clubbing but had gotten drunk and puked on me!.If anyone else had done that, I would have had the person's head on spike. My teeth clenched and my fist hardened and unclenched several times as I paced around in my room.Dennis gave me his word and I trust him but what of other guys? Eleanor isn't one to not catch attention and gosh I hate that she bothers me this much. "Oh shit!" I groaned out a cuss. Okay. Now this is the most crazy aspect of it all. How could I be this restless about one woman. "Arthur? The men are waiting…I have a schedule of your activities for today." Jeremy had come to inform me about the training and my daily schedule but I had told him
ELEANOR'S POVImmediately I heard a knock on the door a few seconds after the time Dennis promised to come get me, I quickly dashed to get the door certain it would be him but instead I saw Arthur standing before me. I halted abruptly in my words as my excitement died evaporated at once. My teeth grinded so hard and my fist clenched but I held it in. Heaven knows, I might really not be able to hold it all in for longer and they were kind to send Dennis coming soon after as I strained my neck and anticipated him. I saw Dennis coming towards us. Relieved, I sped past him and went to Dennis. And when Dennis tried to get a permission from him, I knew I had to step in. "Ah, Dennis we don't have to worry about Arthur. I mean, he is actually quite busy, with the pack and of course…Samantha Jo. He won't even notice we are gone for just a little while…" I said and flashed him a smile. A smile that was supposed to shoot him down if only my eyes had daggers in them. I sling my arm into Denn
