The evening breeze carried with it strong scents, scents of life, of food and I needed to feed. ‘’ I could feel my fangs come out as I stood, looking out by the window, and suddenly, I felt an urge to take a stroll. Throwing on a hood and slipping my leg into casual slippers, I left the room. I didn’t really know where it was I wanted to go, all I knew was how lovely the night breeze felt against my skin, how cool it was. Why had I never stopped to enjoy a nights stroll until now? I wondered. Only, this didn’t seem like a stroll, it seemed like the pull of the darkness for a hungry vampire. UniCal was a small school, far smaller than its other counterparts in California, and even though I felt like I was under the influence of something stronger than me, I still had my wits about me. I knew feeding from anyone on campus would be too dangerous. I started to feel gittery as I flagged down a taxi and got in. It was like there was a strange fire burning in my veins, a fire that w

This book is a work of fiction and the characters and institutions mentioned are totally fictionJourney with Amelia through her unforgettable college experiences as she escapes death several times, falls in love and is faced with the choice to choose between honour and love.If you like this book, please like and follow to encourage me the author.###I could still hear my uncles arguing with my father downstairs as I lay in my bed and pretended to be reading a history text book. It would look good if anyone of my uncles barged in after barely knocking and found me reading -- at least I hoped it would make them support my decision to go to college at the state.I flipped the pages of the book, something about Christopher Columbus discovering America and blah blah blah, I didn't really care. What I wanted to hear was their decision at the end of the long argument. My father is king so his decision is always final but most times, he tends to let his judgment get swayed by his brothers.

AmeliaI was driven up to the varsity in a limo and I half expected the college students to line up to welcome me, their princess but the school hardly noticed my arrival. Freshmen students and their parents were received in a large auditorium were many people I couldn't even remember their names and offices gave countless number of speeches until when I thought I was going to fall asleep in my seat out of boredom, we were shown to our dorms, parents hugged their wide eyed children and cried while some students like me who came alone tried not to look too lost as we tried to find our rooms.I stared up at the room number that was going to be the name of my new home, afraid to enter, scared that if I did, I was making it permanent. I couldn't just run back home to my Daddy when I lost courage. I was so lost in thought, I didn't see the beautiful tall blonde who had come to stand in front of me until she spoke.''Well Daddy's little girl is scared.'' She said mimicking the voice of a li

AmeliaHe hadn't told me his name, yet I was pressed in a dark room into a corner, walled in by the door, the wall and him, letting him do things to me I had once only heard Juliet and Helen talk about and causing me to make strange animal noises.His tongue stroked mine, teasing, showing me the sweetest agony I had ever known and just when I thought he had shown me everything, his fingers started a new rythm on my chest. My gown was half way down now and shame burned my face when he lowered his lips to the exposed skin, but it was pleasure that made me cry out. He muffled my cries with his mouth again and when he brought his lips to my ear it was to whisper ''Keep screaming like that and you'll bring the entire frat party into this room to find out what's going on and for some reason, I don't want you to be discovered half dressed.''I started to apologise but it only ended in a moan as he bit the tip of my ear and then kissed it.My chest was still bare so that when he shifted sligh

AmeliaIt was a week since my encounter with the hot frat guy. He hadn't told me his name, and yet somehow, his face -- the whole of him had been imprinted in my head.Tall, tan, shaggy blond hair and the bluest eyes I had ever seen with a body that was fit only for a god. He was the first man to kiss me, to touch me and also the first man to threaten my life.I shivered only thinking about the fact that he could hear every sound around me. How many people was he listening to right now? How many people had he threatened.... or was he only angry with nineteen year old vampires who had the misfortune to come to his school?Even as I asked those questions silently in my head, I knew the answer. He hated vampires and didn't think anything of killing one, I wondered why I was still alive.I took off my clothes and tied a towel around my chest, wondering if he could hear the fabric of my dress as I lifted it above me head -- if he could tell what the sound was. Thinking about that alone bro

AMELIAI came back from class tired and worn out, wanting nothing more than to crash on my bed. I could take a short nap. Sleeping in the afternoon didn’t mean I was getting old.It was a standard joke at home that started when I was six and Helen had been reading a bedtime story to me. I had taken a fancy to an old woman who according to the book needed lots of sleep in the afternoon. Having never seen an old person before, I marveled at her gray scanty hair, her wrinkles and how bent she was over her walking stick. My family who were over a hundred years old were still strong and looked young and yet here was this woman who was only eighty looking so feeble. The next day when my father had said he needed to take a nap, I had gotten so scared and shouted ‘are you turning into an old woman Daddy.’ It took a lot of explaining for me to get out of punishment that day, and then after that, it became a family joke – sleeping in the afternoon was for old women.I smiled.

AMELIAMy days passed uneventfully at the varsity. Hot frat party guy still refused to tell me his name. He still kept draining information from me about my Daddy. I didn’t believe he could come close to killing him and so I answered all of his questions – truthfully. I really don't know how to die -- or so I believe.He still kept up the sexual energy, kissing me at times, touching me in places his hands had no business going to, until I stopped trying to decieve myself. I had a crush on him, a massive one and I think he knew it. I guess it made him feel big and powerful, it made me feel small and powerless.I and Clarrisa had finally gotten to some unspoken understanding of some sorts, she stopped trying to make me talk about frat guy and I stopped stuttering. Most of the times now, she was wrapped up in her romance with one Percy King, I didn’t ask her about him either.I was passing beside the basketball court, already late for an evening class when I saw a two basketball players.

PERCYAs I walked out of the cafeteria, I couldn’t just shake off the feeling that something was not right. Why did an experienced vampire keep blushing anytime I made the slightest suggestive comment. I hadn’t known any girl that blushed – except back in high school and they were all in the tenth grade.The wolf in me was hinting on something . . . a warning perhaps. Something was off. I smiled briefly to myself remembering the way she called me 'human', then I frowned. What kind of experienced Vampire couldn't tell a werewolf, an Alpha for that matter, from a human. Something was definitely up.She had looked innocent, vulnerable sitting across me just now and I wondered how she managed to look that way, or maybe a thousand years of practice had made her able to pull it off well enough, but…There was still the issue of an arrangement already being made for blood parcels to be sent to her. I tried not to gag at the thought but why had she come to this school anyway. I made a mental n

I hadn’t known when Percy came to kneel in front of me but he held my shoulders gently now. ‘’Look at me Amelia.’’ He said and I was only too glad to do just that. ‘’It’s going to be alright. We’ll figure this out together.’’ And I hoped we would, I really hoped we would. That evening as I lay on my bed, trying to study, I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was terribly wrong. My father had sent me away from home to be away from these thinkers and yet they had been here, at UniCal. They had kidnapped Percy. I wanted to believe they didn’t know I was here, that it wasn’t part of their grand plan, but I was finding it very difficult. The door opened, not – so gently and Clarrisa walked in, looking a bit rattled. She didn’t look like she was dressed for classes in a red halter gown, and I wondered where she had been – only a little. We weren’t exactly friends, didn’t know each other’s whereabouts from time to time. Or at least, I didn’t, she on the other hand was alwa

PERCY My heart broke a little as I watched relief light up her unusual violet eyes. ‘’But, I thought – you know because of who –what . . .’’ She let her voice trail off, unable to continue as she once again hid her gaze from me. A part of me wanted to shake her, to tell her she could trust me, that I was on her side, that I cared deeply about her and that I would never hurt her – but I knew it was my fault that she was afraid of me, and even though the acknowledgement of that fact hurt, a bit more than I had expected it to, I knew it was true. Someone had once said that when going after trust, you did that with patience and so instead of launching into some lofty declaration of how I felt about her, I cradled her head when she rested it again on my chest, cuddling her and showing her more than words what she meant to me. She lifted her head again, but this time, she was smiling. Her face was damp with perspiration and her lips were swollen from my kisses. Her violet eyes were li

PERCY She was watching me now, with that doe -caught – in – the – headlights look that was so innocently provocative and I wondered how I had missed it all this while. I slowly traced her bow shaped bottom lip, and watched her tremble as I heard her breath hitch. ‘’There are very few articles on Amelia Rhinehart, why is that?’’ I asked softly and watched the confusion cloud her eyes. ‘’ Vampires, we try to keep a low key, it’ll be difficult to explain the fact that we don’t age.’’ She said nervously, even though she was trying to pretend that she was unaffected. ‘’And then you fake deaths and births, but it must have become difficult, with the way things are going – the internet.’’ ‘’ Yes, with the internet, we –‘’ ‘’ But that’s not the case with you is it?’’ I asked and heard her breath hitch again as I brought my hand to cradle her very slender neck, feeling the pulse beating in mismatched patterns. ‘’The marriage of Christopher Rhinehart to one Catherine Thomas – it wa

AMELIA I could feel myself lagging behind in my academics, it wasn’t that I didn’t have time to study, I just couldn’t wrap my head around most of the things that were being taught anymore. During class periods, I found myself thinking about Percy, wondering how it would feel to have sex for the first time – to have sex with Percy. To feel his hot masculine body against mine, share his warmth. I was pretty sure he and Clarrisa had had sex before – many times and even though I tried not to, I envied her. Even when I wasn’t thinking about Percy, I was worried about my family back home. As I watched the lecturer round up his lectures, packing his files together as he gave instructions for a project we were supposed to do in his next class, I knew I couldn’t stay focused enough to attend another class, I half wondered if Percy had been that distracted today, then I wondered what would happen to my grades if I carried on like this. As I trekked back to my dorm under the hot Californ

‘’ I want to know what’s going on, Helen. – That’s why I called.’’ ‘’ I’m sorry Amelia, but this is going to be one of the few times I say no –‘’ ‘’ I thought he was going to kill me!’’ I half shouted as the memories of the kidnap came flooding in again. ‘’ I’m sorry sweetie.’’ Helen’s voice softened. ‘’ We figured if he hadn’t killed you yet, he wasn’t going to do it now…. A silly gamble, I know. But we felt you’ll be safer there than here at the palace.’’ I shook my head, even though she couldn’t see me. ‘’I wasn’t talking about Percy, Helen. I was talking about the kidnap.’’ Another in drawn breath. ‘’Ever heard of the thinkers?’’ ‘’ No, who are they?’’ ‘’ Well you know how vampires take the talent of any human they drink directly from, accumulating it, till it becomes a special ability? – Which explains why you don’t have any special abilities, since you only drink from sachets –‘’ ‘’ Yeah so, what about special abilities?’’ I asked impatiently, ignoring th

I didn’t pull any stunts as the vampires put a bag over my head and we came out of the SUV, mostly because I was curious about what their leader wanted with me and I was sure that any stunts on my part would end up in several dead bodies – maybe mine included, and then I’ll definitely not meet the leader – and so, the suspense would continue. I tried not to stumble as they dragged me into what – from the way our footsteps echoed, seemed to be an empty building, and even though I hated her, I had a strong feeling Amelia was in danger, all alone in UniCal. I didn’t want her to be in danger. The Vampires snatched the bag off my head and I had to allow my eyes adjust to the dim lights of the building. I had been right, I was standing in an empty building but I couldn’t make out what kind of building it was, neither could I make out the neighborhood. Focusing my attention on the vampire in front of me, I smiled. The boss didn’t look that impressive, infact he looked like a sickly tee

PERCY My phone rang as I left the party and I picked it and got into my car. It was my team, a vampire had just been spotted lurking around at a nightclub. If I could get there on time, I could kill the vampire and stop the hunt, save the police from having to look at another lifeless corpse with fang holes in his neck. I felt strangely excited as I sped off campus to the club, this was what I needed – a reminder of what I was, a vampire killer. I got out of my car in front of the bar, the sign said ‘déjà vu’ and I half wondered how many memories it had. It was exactly the kind of place I expected to see a vampire. Smoky lights, strippers and people who wouldn’t remember your face the next day. The vampire, a man was supposed to be wearing a gray jacket and as I looked around the people there, I saw how vague that description was. Half of the men were wearing jackets and most of the jackets were gray. My eyes zeroed in on someone leaving the club, he was wearing a gray jacke

The window overlooked a private garden, lush with over grown rose bushes, their thorns twisting and getting lost in equally overgrown weed. The owners had probably travelled for a long while or had even abandoned the property going by how the garden looked but I felt a kind of excitement, like I was doing something very tantalizingly illegal and if caught, I could be punished. I was happy Valerie hadn’t brought me here for a quick hook up. She climbed up to the window and sat down, facing outside, her feet dangling outside and after a little hesitation, I joined her. ‘’ Doesn’t this feel as if you’re on the verge of magic?’’ She asked nudging me slightly with her shoulder and I nodded, it did feel like magic but mostly because she was the one that brought me. I was starting to get enchanted by her. ‘’Stop looking at me Percy… You should be looking at the view.’’ She said laughing shyly, her eyes always lit up when she laughed – I had noticed and right then her lips seemed so….
