#The Quarter##Stormy July#Am I going to get a hug or an orgasm?Elena's POVIt is the beginning of July and this month often comes with a confident wind, rousing the trees into a vortex of dance as a slight breeze dominated the atmosphere, year in year out since timely memorial. Normally the sky at this time would be filled with chirping birds and warm sun rays, but this is a new month and it's time to kiss summer goodbye.Usually, a rainy season comes with an invitation to rest, relax, and enjoy the cool weather but peace and serenity seem like a foreign words right now. Even as I peer outside my window, humans are seen racing across the busy street with umbrellas as they try to prevent the drizzling of rain from staining their outfits. Every human on the street has a worried face as they struggle to make it through their various destinations. Be it school or work. One thing is common today among all the creatures, everyone, including the supernaturals, looks troubled."Am I going to get a hug or an orgasm for saving your life?" Cass cocked a brow, his permanent teasing smirk was on."Eew! You have a dirty mind." I scrunched my face in disgust and shut the window."You are the reason I think dirty, considering how hot you look, Elena." His grey eyes followed my movement from the window to a couch.After the battle with Lucindo, we all retired to the quarter to feed, rest, and re-strategize. Cass followed me to my chamber to ensure I was okay even though I kept insisting the near-death experience was in the past and I'm perfectly well.I stared at everything in the room but Cass. He looked devilishly handsome today when he swept into the cemetery to save my life. He has on dark jeans and black polo that says 'I'm the hottest being you will see today.' His brown hair is tousled and his olive skin looks more moisturized and I'm betting the weather has something to do with it. How he can be so overconfident and cocky simultaneously often amazes me most times.I stared at the ancient mythological books on the table that surrounds us, we were busy making research on Lucindo and hoping to get a chapter that successfully teaches us how to kill murder the warlock without it backfiring.At least we know how he gets his power by channeling dead bodies and using them as a form of a power bank. My jet black hair is thrown into a messy ponytail and I have on a white sneaker, blue jeans, and a white crop top. But compared to Cass, my skin paled in comparison so the weather didn't favor everyone or we are not all so lucky after all. My skin looks as dry as a steak and no matter how many times I apply moisturizer, it still looks dry so I stopped trying.I rested my chin on my palm and finally decided to face the elephant in the room. "If you are expecting some form of thank you then you should leave."Cass scoffed and picked a book to read. "I can't hear you over your lack of gratitude.""How did you find me?" My brows furrowed as I picked up the landline to summon the maids.Cass scratched his neck and pouted. "I kind of put some tracker on your phone to alert me when you are in danger.""You did what?" I let out a harsh breath and gave him a mortified look."I was just trying to protect you." He shrugged his shoulder and gave me an innocent look."You decided to invade my privacy and you call it protection?" I stood up from the couch and paced around."But it worked, I came at the right time. You should be able to forgive me for that, Elena.""Look around, Cassius, I have all the protection I need. I have my folks, vampires, and witches protecting me so I don't need you to do the same.""And how did that work out the last time huh? You were almost killed even though your so-called guardians were there. C'mon, this is no big deal and I should be getting some thank you sex and not all these yellings.""First of, that will never happen. If you need sex, go meet some maid." I hgave him a dismissive wave of my hand and settled back on the couch."Secondly, how did you manage to put a tracker on my phone without my knowledge?" I licked my dry lips and brushed my palms together. It was fucking freezing in here."I'm a tech guru so I know my onions well and you look super mad, I thought you will be grateful I saved your ass.""Saved my ass? dude that was an invasion of my privacy and you are so annoying." I rolled my eyes and beckoned at the maids entering my chamber."Thanks for sounding genuinely appreciative," Cass muttered sarcastically and settled on the couch next to me."You are welcome." I winked and decided to focus on breakfast.Vampires in the society are allowed to feed on animals strictly and if they will feed on the locals, they are to leave no trace leading back to us. The law states that they are allowed to feed on humans considering the fact that compulsion is mandatory. If you must feed on humans then you must compel them not to remember anything about it.But for royal vampires like the Marshalls and the Norths, we have humans working for us and we are allowed to feed on them but not to the point of death. After serving as the food they must take blood tonics and feed on nourishing delicacies to replenish their strength and blood.A blonde maid came over to me and a redhead went towards Cass. They both took a knife and sliced their wrists. The pleasant smell of their blood filled my nostrils and soon took over my nervous system. Some drops of blood splattered on the floor and I could feel the beast from within begging to be unleashed. Adrenaline coursed through my veins and my orbs turned darker at the immense hunger. Black veins reflected underneath my eyes and I sank my elongated fangs into the maid. The nourishing drink filled every part of my body and awoke me in a rejuvenating way. I could tell the blood group was an O positive.After having breakfast, I collected the serviette the maid gave to me and cleaned my lips till they were a natural red shade again. I rolled my eyes when I felt Cass' orbs burrowing into me."What is it again Mr stalker much?" I rose from my seat and walked towards the mirror to stared at my reflection. I'm 5'8 feet tall and I still consider myself short and wish to grow even taller."I am mad at Spotify for not naming you this week's hottest single." He whispered in my ears and I wondered how I didn't know when he stood from the couch.I am neither chubby nor slim so I'm what you can label as slim-thick. I have a large ass and wide hips that help compliment my narrow waist and average-sized boobs so I wouldn't blame Cass for calling me hot since I'm the definition of smoking hot."Can you leave and go bugger someone else you are becoming a pest." I rolled my eyes and rip off the band holding my hair up as I watched it cascade to my back."Why, aren't you enjoying my company? I'm very smart but definitely not a nerd.""Your dirty talks are a huge turn-off for me so you can either tune it down or leave.""Intelligence plus dirty mind is a fantastic combo, take my advice from one sister to another." Suzy walked in blowing gums."Oh, God! I can't stomach this. Having Cass and you in the same room is a horrible combo, believe me, since I'm the only sane one in here.""Hey Suzy, it's so nice to see you again." Cass took her hands and kissed them and I watched Suzy flutter her lashes at him.The blood I consumed felt like it went through the wrong pipe and the urgent need to puke became intense."Thanks for saving Elena, you are a hero and I feel personally indebted to you." Suzy flirtations seized and I could tell she was dead serious."See, someone that finally appreciates me." Cass stuck his tongue at me and muttered welcome to Suzy."As much as I would love to sit here and watch young teenage love, I'm afraid we have an important situation outside and we could use all the help we can get."The lavender scent from the lighted candles in the living room brought a sense of ease each time I was within the four walls. It has a beige and cream-colored theme with a cracking furnace that has served the quarter for a millennium of years.The tiles are a perfect blend of black and white and it compliments the entire nude coloured living room. The white curtains are parted side by side to give a panoramic view of the street.My parents are situated at a far corner of the room and I watched with interest when mom stood up and walked towards me with a smile on her face."Where is Hilda?" I furrowed my brows at dad."I sent her on a mission to inform the northern vampires, the council about Lucindo.""You won't believe they think I'm mad!" Mom's eyes widened in panic and she pressed her slender fingers on my face."Do I look mad to you?" Her blue eyes peered into my black orbs and I narrowed my eyes at her, trying to understand where all of that was co
#The quarter##supernatural world ##seventy-two hours ultimatum #This is a suicide mission!!!Elena's POVApprehension was one of my favorite words as a child. I can vividly recollect being praised by my human tutor in school for using such a long word in the right way. Now as a teenager, I hate to admit it as an emotion because it churns my stomach badly. I certainly and absolutely hate feeling this way.We stopped at the parking lot of the royal quarter to pick a car but Cass got too excited and wanted to drive the most expensive car there so he could cross out that task from his bucket list.We unlocked a Bugatti la Voiture Noire in the colour dopest black and some seductive hint of red to highlight the car. The car is brand new and has sat in the parking lot for quite some time now with nobody to use it. It sits as if it were formed from flowing metal, aquatic, yet feminine with its curves."We are on a schedule and we need the fastest c
The building of the book store is in a state of ruins; a huge dilapidated mess with growing moss as the ornamental plant that designed the walls, making it a beautiful decayed mess.Cass led me forward and opened the entrance door to let me in first, I gave him a polite smile in response and stepped in. The inside is like a wall of ancient volumes, the bookshelves looked surprisingly strong and had the capability to hold a hundred books and more. The woods looked like it was carved by a profound lover of literature.The architectural design of the inside is Victorian, the stairs were obviously built first, arching like the end of a cat's tail before ascending to the first floor. The inside is warm and inviting compared to the dingy outlook. Books that ranged from the ancient trilogy, erotic, motivational, science, and bibles were arranged in a relaxed vertical position. Upon closer inspection, I could see scratches, the wood was a little paler where it had dinged. I touche
#Supernatural realm##Riddles vs fate##three hours ultimatum#Que sera sera{what will be will be}Elena's POVAs a creature of the night, a dangerously low degree temperature such as ten degrees Celsius and below is considered a norm. A strong wind blew through the room with a powerful passion, slamming doors so hard like a chaotic drum beat--a marching band with no finger making them want to fall off their hinges, ruffling everyone's hair, and controlling every single object in the room.It is air filled with passion, a drive that powers onwards. My muscles stiffened as I watch Lindsay close her eyes in focus and passionately chant incantations. Her once fragile body stood up at attention and her fingers swayed the wind expertly. The once sunny cloud was hurriedly replaced with a grey sky that channeled our emotions and present predicament to the universe.Lindsay picked a whitish powdered-looking substance and drew a cross on our foreheads. The wind intensifi
Cass saw the shock register on my face before I could hide it. A small smile played on his lips and like goal-getters, we chuckled loudly and high-fived each other. Below the cliff laid a marketplace filled with people. I have never been more happy to see living creatures--the noises of the marketplace and the birds that graced the air became a comforting lullaby to us, it was music to me.We jumped down using our supernatural abilities. I checked my wristwatch only to find out we had spent forty minutes out of the allocated time and with haste, we made our way to the creatures which I doubt to be humans because they don't smell like one."I just read their minds, not even a single creature thought about money, sex, or alcohol. What on earth are these people?" Cass narrowed his eyes and squared his shoulders."I don't know but we are about to find out." I dipped my hands in my leather jacket pockets and made our presence known.Like a new kid in a new school, all
#Supernatural realm##Riddles and gods##Fate vs man's efforts#He's got more skeleton in his cupboard than an halloween outlet♥Elena's POV♥Is it not interesting that an upcoming second or minute is regarded as the future and it crawls its butt slowly before sinking irretrievably into the past. While future events can not be predicted with certainty, I can't help but wonder if future events are as a result of the present efforts to better the future or if it has been pre-determined by the creator to be.Looking at Cass, I could tell he was a little apprehensive, but that is the most natural of emotions when we see and feel something or someone that had the potential of bringing wonder into our lives. What's more? The emotion was mirrored in my soul. This was a real moment, significant, and potent.The carriage galloped along the sloppy road till we were neared a cave where the coachman announced that that was the end of the trip and
"Welcome strangers from the other realm of life, I believe your journey was smooth?" A giant man dressed in flowing robes that were two times his size asked.Considering the fact that his head was almost touching the upper part of the cave and we had to look up to answer showed how huge he was. My rough mental calculation claimed he must be up to 18ft tall. He had a slightly crooked rod with a ruby gem as the artifact adorning it."Believe me when I tell you it has been traumatizing and why the fuck did you have to let those birds attack us? is that your definition of hospitality?" Cass scrunched his brows in anger.The riddle man pointed his rod at Cass and threw a fireball at him which Cass ducked early enough to prevent a third-degree burn. A fireplace magically appeared where the fireball struck, right behind Cass."Well, what can I say? I'm an old man with a weird way of showcasing my good intentions." He flashed a smile at us and his eyes glinted with misch

What if my brain freezes like a volcano ash that has dried out or better still, being expelled from a volcano during a volcano eruption and things go south?There was only one word that could perfectly describe my predicament and that was paranoia. I tried to say positive words till they became a mantra but my mind is beginning to ridicule the capacity of my brain to keep calm during tension and my ability to think fast. If anyone could read my mind right now they would have pegged me for a crazy person who escaped an asylum. Not like I would blame them either because somewhere in the back of my now estranged rational brain, I knew I was freaking out and my pounding heart didn't help matters. I felt helpless as a poor
