>>Nena“What the hell is wrong with you!” Sam bandaged my hand while constantly running his mouth, “What if something happened!” We both sat in his room in his big ass house.“Well, nothing happened!” The door opened while we both were arguing.“Nena,” I heard Chris come in and turned to look at him. He placed his bike helmet on the table as he walked in, “I heard what you did.” He came and sat down next to us, “That was dangerous.”“I’m alright though-” The door burst open and Nathan came running in.“Nena! I heard you pulled a stupid stunt!!” Nathan yelled and I silently looked at Sam to judge him.“What?” He finished bandaging me, “I had to tell them.” He looked away, “We’re in this together.”“Are you alright though?” Nathan came stomping towards me and it looked like he was about to give me a hug.“Hey!” Chris and Sam both stopped him, “You can’t be near her yet!”“Ah!” Nathan paused, “Right…” He sat the furthest from me and sighed, “But why did you do it?”All three of them sta
>>NenaAfter my anger calmed down a little, I pressed my head against the door, “Quincy…” I called his name, “I know you’re there.” I spoke softer than before, “Why are you doing this?”There wasn’t any answer for the first few seconds so I called out his name again.“Quincy?”…“Why would you pull such a stupid stunt?” He finally spoke. His voice was coming directly from the other side of the door, “Did you know how worried I was?”“But,” I frowned, “You didn’t even believe what I told you and then you rejected me…”“What else could I have done?’ He said, “I’m your guardian.” He chose a word I couldn’t refute, “I have to be responsible.”“Then why didn’t you believe in me? I told you she tried to kill me-”“I believe you.” He cut my words.“You do?” I was surprised.“But I have to solve things in an orderly manner.” He sighed and pressed his head against the door. That’s when I realised he was sitting against it, “I’m not a kid. We have a system to follow, I can’t just fight with som
>>QuincySlashing the atmosphere with a dark magic tool creates a portal that opens to the realm of magic. Although, it is specific to dark continents only. Just like how the Dryad, the light magic spirit doesn’t allow the undead creatures to pass through it and enter the magical forest, the dark continent is a place that is void of light magical creatures. And the Fae can not use dark magic tools at all.I stared at the dark hollow portal I just made and sighed.It’s been twenty years since I came to live in the human world. During that time, not even once did I think about going back and there were a number of reasons for that.I placed the magic dagger in my jacket’s pocket and crossed over.A wave of nostalgia hit me as the heavy air filled my nostrils. I took a deep satisfied breath as the catastrophic magic coursed through my veins. Being away from the world of magic had sort of made me forget what bountiful magic felt like. The moment I was in my homeland, I felt powerful.The
>>NenaIt’s been four days already.My eyes were stuck to the wall clock like glue. Time ticked by and seconds passed yet I received no information or news at all.Just where is he? I can’t reach him at all! Where could he be? This has never happened before. Yes, Quincy has spent the night out before, but he was always home before dawn. If he needed to go somewhere far, he always told me so I wouldn’t worry.So why?What is happening! I even went to the Dryad and asked Yohan about it through the portal but he had no idea either.He did say that if he was in the dark continent then he wouldn’t know since the creatures of light magic and dark magic don’t really get along. The forest doesn’t like Quincy coming over either even though he’s the Queen’s son since he’s half Vampire.I bit my lips as I tapped my foot on the floor like crazy.What should I do? He didn’t leave me right? Is he still mad at me because I ran away that day? But we went past that didn’t we? I was giving myself a
>>NenaI grabbed a glass goblet and took it to my room on the second floor while Quincy went to grab cleaner clothes.I went into my room as my heart beat began to accelerate as I shut the door behind me.Am I really going to do this? But this is my only chance. He never takes my blood no matter how many times I’ve asked in the past.I placed the glass on my work deskHe’s never even asked me to bring him a cup either. He always drinks on his own and he’s rarely ever used the emergency blood kept in the freezer. It mostly just goes to waste.This is now or never.I looked at the cutter in the mug that stood still along with my other stationary. I gulped.Now or never.***“Quincy?” I looked around for him in the lounge but he wasn’t there. So I knew he must have gone to his room since he had to change. I went to his room and knocked once before entering, “Quincy?” The room was dark so I flipped the lights on and then noticed something.Quincy was on the bed, his small body was wearing
>>NenaI shot my eyes open and found myself in my bed. I sat up immediately as the situation confused me.What?Why am I in my bed? I was in bed with Quincy!Why!?!?Fear crept around in my brain.Shit! Don’t tell me that it was all a dream!! I shot my head towards my arm and pulled my sleeve up.There was no injuryWhat the hell!?My mind was completely blown. I stood up and ran to the full length mirror in my room to see my neck. It was clean and smooth like how it usually is.No…I fell down on my butt in despair. This can’t be happening…No!I didn’t waste much time getting out of my misery.I can’t have dreamt it all! It was all too vivid for it to be a dream!I bit my lips and stood up again. I have to find out what happened because I know it happened! I walked towards the door and opened it up in anger to run out and down the stairs to see Quincy but as I opened the door to run out I crashed into someone.The big sturdy chest of a man made me bounce back and fall flat on my but
>>Nena“What?” I actually really had no idea what he meant, “What did I do?” I didn’t do anything to give him trauma!Alister folded his arms, “You gave Quincy your blood didn’t you?” I froze up for a second. So it did happen!!! And then I pouted, “I mean,” I played a little coy, “Is that a bad thing?”He chuckled looking at my expressions, “For Quincy,” He un-folded his arms, “Maybe,” He waved his hands around and ended up folding them again.“Why though?” I folded my arms as well, “He takes blood from so many humans but why not me?”“Well~” He dramatically wiggled his fingers out, “For starters which is also the most important thing, your blood is like a high class wine.”“Wouldn’t that make one want it more!” I mean who wouldn’t want it? It’s like vintage wine! “Oh I would love to have it, anyone would love to have it. I mean I would die for it. Oh!” He raised his hands in defence, “But don’t get me wrong, I’m just stating how desirable it is, I already have my Blood mate.”“Bloo
>>NenaI told the situation to the three boys in college the next day. I left Quincy’s room after he told me to stay away from him and went to text the boys but noticed my phone was filled with notifications and most of them were messages from my three ‘fake boyfriends.’ I texted them back to let them know I was okay and after meeting with them today, I told them all that happened.They all looked at each other and then back at me.“Well, I don’t know what to say here.” Chris spoke first.“Have we moved forward or backward?” Nathan frowned.“I’d say a bit of both.” Sam folded his arms and sighed, “The good thing is we have all the information so we can plan forward.”“The festival starts in three days.” Nathan looked at the boys.“What can we do in three days?” Chris looked at SamAnd Sam looked back at Chris, “I guess it’s time for Nena to hug Nathan.” He then looked at Nathan and then they all looked at me.“It’s time for that?” I asked a little excitedly and they all nodded.“It’s
>>Maya “And that’s how after a long wait, Quincey and I got married and became the Queen and King of the dark realm.” Nena finished her long love story, “We got married in the human world. It was a small event with very few close guests.” She smiled, “And yes, I invited my three fake boyfriends too.” She took a deep breath, “That was the last I saw of them.” She grinned, “And then we moved to the Vampire capital and years passed by.” “Woah…” I was shocked, “That was a lot to take in.”I definitely didn't think you’d turn out to be such a manipulative person.” It was unbelievable really. She chuckled, “Everything is allowed in love and war Ma,” She had a mischievous look on her face, “And look at us, we were two orphans whose parents were killed unjustly.” Her smile turned a little sad, “And now we’re Queens.” I smiled back, “I guess fate isn’t that bad.” She shrugged, “I’m happy now so I guess.” She smiled, “My time with Quincey has been amazing!” “How much more time before you gi
>>Quincy“What if some other Vampire tries to harm her?” I asked the king, my father and Luci. We four were present in the King’s audience chamber and we're going through some stuff, “There is always a chance someone could try something because she’s still a human. It’s going to take time for her blood mate powers to show.” I was making a point here, solely for Nena’s sake. Still being a man who has claim to the throne meant there was a chance someone might disagree of Nena and try to harm her.“Boy, the thing is, even if you revoke all your rights officially, there is still a chance it might happen.” The king made his point, “Because no matter what, you can’t fight the blood that runs in your veins.” He was right. No matter what effort I did here, it won’t change the fact that I was part of the royal bloodline. I sighed and looked down in defeat. What now? If not this, then what can I do?The king cleared his throat and made me look at him again, “Well you just need to be in a posi
>>Quincey“So none of you ever liked her?” I asked the boys while we all sat in the lounge of my house. I was sitting on one side and the three of them were side by side on the other.“Nope,” They all replied as they shook their heads in unison.“You want me to believe that?” I had my arms folded.“We only did it because she was helping us out. It was mutual help.” Chris said, “We had a deal between ourselves.”“Helping you guys out?” “She’s a pretend girlfriend for us because women don’t stop chasing rich men, especially when they’re single.” Sam said, “Nena is the perfect person for that role since she beats the shit out of people too.”I raised my brows as I frowned. It made sense, there were a number of times she came home and I could tell right away she had a fight with someone. So this was the reason why.“Don’t worry,” Chris said after he noticed the visible discontent on my face, “We just need her for another semester and then our deal ends.” He smiled, “We really don’t have
>>NenaThe world started getting blurred. Like a dancing mirage.The dark magic began to consume me and I started seeing red. A stream of liquid started coming out of my eyes that was not water.AH…No wonder Quincey told me I’d never survive here. I feel like I’m being consumed. It’s like there is a furnace in my body that’s steadily heating up and it’ll keep heating up till there is nothing left of me. Till all of me is burned and not even my soul survives.I felt like I was fading away with the increasing pain, “Nena!!” A voice reached me, “Nena!” I looked to my side and saw Quincey running towards me. He slid down next to me and brought me into his embrace, “What the hell are you doing here!!!” He yelled at me, “Why the hell aren’t you doing anything??” He looked at his father and uncle.“She refused to leave.” Daddy said, “I tried.” He raised his hands up in defense, “I really did.”The king nodded, “She’s too stubborn.” He said, “This is why we sent Luci to get you.”Wow, these
>>Nena“What happened to the previous one?” I was very curious now even though my head was starting to hurt, “Who was that human?”The king looked at Alister and I followed his gaze. Alister hesitated a little, then sighed, “It happened two hundred years ago,” He started a story, “Two hundred years back humans were still thinking of us as monsters.” He nodded sadly, “And Quincey grew fond of a human that once helped him but that same human killed herself when she found out what she got caught up in.”“What?” I shook my head, “What happened?”The two royal bloods looked at each other, “Let me tell you a short story about how Quincey grew a little distant from relationships.” Alister gestured to Luci to do something and Luci left while Alister came and sat down in front of me.“Are you alright?” He asked me.I shook my head, “I feel like a fever is rising…”“It’ll get worse from here.” Alister patted my head, “So I’ll give you the major details of what happened.”“Alright,” I nodded.He
>>NenaThe dark continent gave the vibe of a dark fantasy setting. It was clearly daylight but the sky was covered with dark clouds continuously and forever so no sun rays made it down to the land.The roads were old, looked like the ones the Romans made centuries ago but all the houses were big, like mansions. The market place was busy but not bustling. It looked like there were a limited number of people there.“I thought there would be more people here.” I asked Luci while he and I walked towards the Palace.“Many vampires go to the human world nowadays.” The Palace was in view, “The human realm has a lot of entertainment after all.”“Why not just bring it here?” I asked.“The magic realm doesn’t allow it.” I started seeing some royal guards.“It doesn’t allow it?”“Even if you try to bring it here, the portal which we cross through throws it out before you enter the magic space.”“Why though?”“To preserve the magic.”“Does technology ruin it or something?”“I guess you can say th
>>Quincey“Quincey stop!!” Luci hugged me from behind frantically to stop me, “Humans can’t take magic this strong!!” He head butted my back, “Idiot! What if someone dies?” His words made me freeze and he loosened up, “What if Nena dies?” He moved to look at my face that was filled with horror.My chest tightened and my brain went blank for a moment.No!! I looked at Nena who was unconscious on the floor.Oh hell…I ran to her, “Hey,” I embraced her in my arms, “Hey wake up,” I shook her a little but she was blacked out. Luci came and sat beside me, “Nena…?” I felt like my world was falling apart, “Nena, are you okay?” There was no response. Her body seemed lifeless with no reaction at all.Shit…Oh shit!!“Nena!” I check her temperature but my body is already cold. I couldn’t tell if she was okay like that or not because to me, a fresh corpse is warm too.Damnit!!I had never been so nervous in my life. I felt so shattered, so broken and so ashamed! What have I done? This is my faul
>>NenaSam stood his ground, “You got no say in this.” He said, “This is her decision.” He looked at me and all the attention was on me all of the sudden.Oh shit!Having so many eyes on me all of the sudden made me flinch but I got myself under control..I rolled my eyes and looked at Chris, “Where’s the food?”He was shaken up by what was happening but still managed to answer me, “It’ll be here soon.” He said, “Let’s set the table up.”“Sure,” I stood up and went to grab Nathan and Sam’s hand to get them away from Quincey. Luci, on the other hand, walked over to Quincy to calm him down.They exchanged a few words and a few times in between they glanced at me while my boy grabbed the cutlery to put on the table.>>SamI took a deep breath and looked at Quincey who was consciously glaring at me.This won’t do.I walked over to him while he sat in the lounge and folded my arms as I stood in front of him.“Don’t look at me like that.” He raised his head to glare at me some more and I ro
>>NenaLuciel should be doing what he was asked.I hope it riles Quincey enough for him to take action. I hope he does a good job.I was sitting at the dinner table at Chris’s apartment. He lives independently that’s why we had ordered out and our pizza was going to be here anytime now.“What do you think?” Chris brought the plates and glasses, “About Luciel?” He placed the things on the table and sat down on the chair in front of me.“I don’t know,” I had my arms folded, “I just got to know him but,” There was something bothering me, “I feel like there is more to him than he shows.” I looked at Chris, “Get what I mean?”“You’re saying he’s hiding behind a fool’s mask?” He raised his brows at me.I nodded, “Yea,” I looked around aimlessly, “But it seems like he’s doing that for no deeper meaning.” I looked back at Chris, “Maybe just for fun?”“Mmhmm,” He looked at his phone when he received a text, “For now, let’s hope he does a good job.”“I feel like he will.” I leaned on the table.
