The quarter is like an ancient castle built with the finest yet oldest bricks and pebbles from thousands of years ago before human existence.
Its windows were as shy eyes, large to welcome any ray of sun. The rock walls belonged right where it was as if perchance it had grown up right from that hallowed ground. It was as if it had been called into existence to protect those who came to dwell within, to quell the elements and allow heat to build from hearths into the inhaled woodland air. It was built perfectly for vampires. The walls had little or no cracks despite how many battles and wars have been fought in it. It holds memories that reek of ancient history, secrets, love, betrayal, death, happiness and sin. It is a lair perfect enough for the supernaturals.At every sharp corner of the quarter, we have vampire guards stationed everywhere to protect the household, but my favourite bodyguard is Daniel since he monitors my chamber and he has always been diligent and loyal since the beginning of time."Hey Dan, your muscles seem to be bulging so hard." Suzy drew little circles on his bare arms, her little way of seducing him."Thanks, Suzy, it is just muscles. Don't you have something else to do?" Dan stared at everywhere but Suzy. He has always had this huge crush on her.Suzy rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Of course I know it is just muscles but my major concern is if you are okay down there." She eyed his pants.Dan coughed out in embarrassment and muttered. "I think you should leave Susan."Susan raised her brows and grinned. "I love the way my name rolls of your tongue. Perhaps we could put it to better use." She bit her lip seductively."As nice as that sounds, I refuse to be a case of sexual manipulation." Dan snapped, his white face was becoming pink either as a result of anger or embarrassment.Suzy let out an awkward laugh and shrugged. "Look, I know we don't know each other that well, but I'm still worried about you. No one deserves to be alone for years.""I'm not complaining, am I?" Dan groaned."No one deserves to be alone, especially not a hot dude like yourself," Suzy whispered in his ears, licked it, and walked away."Now what was that all about?" I exhaled heavily, staring at an indifferent Suzy."I just wanted him to loosen up a bit. He is always too prim and proper and has been like that since forever." She shrugged and led the way to my chamber."Where is Hilda by the way?" I waved to the bowing guards."In the council meeting. The Norths came over."The council of vampires consists of the eldest and well-experienced vampires. The vampires are divided into two political parties. The Marshall handles the southern part and the Norths handle the northern part but we are still the sovereign and overall ruler.The council of vampires come to amend the constitution, create laws, and do all sort of governmental job to make the quarter a better place for all supernaturals."OMG! Who is that hot dude?" Suzy whistled and nudged her head towards the direction of my room door. He leaned his back on my door and has probably been waiting for a very long time."Cassius Aleister North. As the name implies, he is the heir to the Northern vampires, nothing spectacular." I rolled my eyes."Isn't he cute?" Suzy gushed and finger-combed her hair, in a bid to look attractive at the dying minute because we were almost near him."Who?""Cass, of course." She glared at me."I'm worried about you," I whispered in her ears and walked towards Cass."What are you doing here? Got lost again?" I gave out a forceful smile.He stared at me from down to up and gave a cheeky grin. "Gosh! You look incredibly hot. I bet you will look even better without your clothes on.""What the hell!" I gave him a disgusted look.Susan cackled loudly. "See, I like him already.""Hmm! Someone who finally sees me for who I am. I like you too Suzy." He wiggled his brow at a blushing Susan."I should leave you love birds to catch up." Suzy blew Cass a kiss and walked away."We are not love birds for Pete sake." I stamped my feet and frowned."Too bad I don't believe you." Suzy hollered and slammed the door of my chamber."Whatever!" I rolled my eyes at Suzy and faced Cass. "Why are you here?"He let out an exasperated sigh and licked his plump, red lips. "Well, the meeting got boring so I came to look for the hottest girl.""Good, you should leave now." I opened the door to my room and stepped in."Why? You got a problem with me?" He strolled to my side and peered at my face."Ever heard of social distancing? I think the humans are quite familiar with that, douche." I punched his chest and settled on a chair.He tapped his fingers to his chin and stared at me with those grey eyes that remained sparks of the black smith's fire. His brown tousled hair reminded me of deep caramel, and his white olive skin gave the illusion of warm creamy milk. If there is one word to describe Cass, he is the definition of beauty. He is tall, poised, elegant, rich, an heir to a respectable family, and a total douche bag because of his ego and pride and the last thing I will do is to fuel his ego."Why are you staring? You know it is rude to do so, right?" I scolded.He let out a low peal of laughter. "I'm just wondering why you are immune to my charms. That's strange.""Well, I clearly got vaccinated you know." I grabbed a chill blood bag and began sipping lightly.We were busy having small talks and bantering when Hilda barged in with a frightening terror."Why is he here?" She glared at me, her fists were balled so tightly that I feared she could crack her bones."He got bored and found his way here. " I shrugged at Hilda, why are you so mad."I was pissed before coming in but seeing his face fuels the anger." She pinched her index finger and her thumbs together."Oh my, you really can't handle my handsome face?""More like your face pisses me off." Hilda slammed her fists on the wall.Cass gasped, feigning shock. "You have got such a temper."Hilda licked her frozen lip and gave a forced smile. "Oh no Cass, I only have a quick reaction to bullshit."I was getting adapted to Hilda and Cass' bantering when I heard something else. It sounded like howling, chanting, roaring, and all sort of supernatural noise, surrounding the quarter."What is that sound?" I gasped with terror."Just what I was about informing you before Mr Ass got in the way." Hilda hissed and brought out her daggers."It is Cass." He muttered."The castle is surrounded by witches, vampires, and werewolves. An execution is about to be made." Hilda hissed quietly and we all looked at one another with shock once it got registered in our brain what shitty thing was about to happen.___Kindly follow on I*; @Barrister_Tife. Thanks.#Trials and executions##courtroom##justice#An entirely unwelcomed surprise.♥Elena's POV♥Laws are important, but they can only be effective if the people know about the particular law, and rule number one of the supernatural states: No killing or slaughtering of vampires.In accordance with the noise and the crowd gathered outside the quarter, it was clear that they all demanded justice which had nothing to do with what went on in a courtroom, and more of what came out of it.We were all gathered in the official courtroom of the quarter and I could tell everyone was itching to spill one thing or the other. Father was sitting at the seat allocated to the judge and trying to get things kicking in motion, while mom stood right behind him to serve as the queen of the vampires and the alpha of the wolves."Can we all now be quiet?" Dad asked rhetorically with his strong baritone voice which instantly silenced the indistinct whispe
Marriage isn't usually a pathway filled with roses, although weddings always have several bouquets of flowers adorning everywhere. Marriage is oftentimes is filled with sharp-pointed and poisonous thorns and deathtraps and at any slight incident, the two players could get checkmated and beaten at their own game. My parents aren't exempted from folks that thrash things around and I don't need a soothsayer to foresee the tension between them and it all started with the courtroom incident.Have you gone mad? What was that all about, Cedric?" Mom stood with her arms akimbo over Dad."Setting things straight. I can't afford to let them get away with this," Dad replied as he ran his hand through his hair and paced around his private chamber."Why can't you listen to a single thing I say? You have to let the case die down else things might escalate," Mom told him amidst furry while placing her slender fingers on her throbbing head to massage her temple."I have a righ
#Quarter##Magic trainning##Supernatural world#You are either quite ambitious or quite madElena's POVThey say that any technology sufficiently advanced looks like magic. But the truth is that there is always a clue to magic.Magic can manifest itself as either science or technology so the gullible humans can celebrate creating a successful theory that is backed up with experiments. Magic can be used for the betterment of mankind and supernaturals. It is the thin thread that binds everything together to make sense. It promotes our evolution or brings devastation upon us all.Those who practice dark art use it for power and control, for abuse, and for the pleasure they feel in causing pain and death. Just like the tragic story of Diego, Harry, and Mary. Mary was eventually served as food to the vampires and they ensured to drain her vile blood till she became a walking corpse and ended up as bones.Harry on the other hand was made to combat
Failure has a war of irking me and making me feel like peeling off my skin, getting laid, or doing something completely irrational and spontaneous.I kicked the wall and my toe hit a broken fraction of the glass. I started bleeding but the blood stopped as soon as it started and my cut was sealed back like it was never there."Are you alright?" Suzy touched my shoulders and said with a voice laced with concern."I'm far from that, I just failed my first attempt at a magic lesson." I squeezed my eyes shut and punched the wall till I could feel a crack and then I felt better."It's okay to not get magic right at first, but I can guarantee you that will be a master witch as long as you keep practicing." Suzy twirled me around and said subtly."But how can we continue when I didn't get the first lesson right?" My brows furrowed."We can continue by learning the scope of magic and some history." She stood tall and cracked her knuckles.She led us to
#French quarter##Dark magic mojo##supernatural world#Looks like you all came from the lineage of psychos♥Elena's POV♥To be honest, I have had my own fair share of bad dreams. Nightmares like when my brain conjures up monsters in form of witches who suction my soul out of my body, drive me through the ancestral plane, and tries to murder me in my dream world. They sometimes come in form of a vision, a dreadful illusion, or a spiritual war zone.But on the contrary, when reality falls far from our expectations and turns against our favor, we prefer to imagine it as a bad dream and try as much as possible not to snap back to existence because the truth can be overbearing and too much to stomach.I tried to stay calm and tell myself it is some bad mirage that I didn't want to wake up to. But the moment the scenario registered fully, my mind went blank and my body went numb as a stray tear-stained my cheek.There was a huge circl
The idea of going to hunt down the witch that killed Dan was very thrilling. Hell, everyone looked excited like they were attending a party with free booze, only that the major booze vampires chug down is blood."Wait! Even though I don't understand a thing y'all are blabbing about. Can you at least help me up so I can be on my merry way?" Blondie's voice interrupted our brief merriment.Dad brought out his checkbook and gave the blondie a hundred thousand dollars cheque."Okay, what murderous job do you want me to do?" Blondie stared wide-eyed at father and the cheque and pretended to shoot himself in the head."Forget everything you saw today, forget about losing your job and go start a new life out of LA." Dad compelled the blondie who stood up and looked like his memory was severed before sauntering out of our sight without a word.Mind compulsion is another benefit we enjoy as vampires. It is the ability of immortals like vampires and hybrids to control
#Witches cemetery##Dark magic mojo##supernatural world#Perhaps a much more subtle approach might do the magic♥Elena's POV♥Negative actions create negative chaos which is quite synonymous to destruction. Whereas, positive actions create positive chaos and positive chaos is constructive.All my life, I have heard my family talk about war but I never got to experience one so I kinda wished it happened in my lifetime. But thinking over it again made me realize it was a stupid wish.What is war? But the slaughter of our finest at the devil's command. How can we evolve when our best is taken? For Hilda, this feels like fun to her because it is her thing. It allows her to exercise her tomboyish attitude and showcase her tough girl skills.For Susan, she looked conflicted. Fighting against her own kind when she used to be one, a witch. But the paranoia didn't stop her from eyeing a hot dude who kept trying to revive a dead flower bu
Suspense they say is thrilling but also pretty terrific. We are at the brink of it all, we are the most influential and powerful family yet we currently sit at the mercy of Bastiana while she enjoys the torture she is meting to us."Defeating an ancient warlock won't be easy and to be two steps ahead. We need a seer." She took Dad's hands and they both rose together.A proud smile was on dad's face and there was silent jubilation in our eyes. We finally have an elder on our side and she can perhaps combat with the warlock magically."And I can't think straight with this throbbing head and bleeding body."I bobbed my head and bit a chunk of my hand before filling a wine glass with the droplets of my blood. The blood of vampires can help heal up all kinds of wounds on any supernatural species and fragile humans.Bastiana accepted the glass and drank my blood with a gulp while her face mirrored disgust. Her scars began healing and her cuts closed back till he
