ONE WEEK LATER. SATURDAY

A week had passed since I saw Dawn—since I got to be with her. I left the same way I had come in, through the window. I had to keep things on a low between us if I didn't want the others to find out. Leya's tip had paid off greatly; I came back just before ten o'clock and the others returned just thirty minutes after me.

My weeks were mostly filled with sleeping and small conversations with Tia. Jhan had told me that I would be entered into service of the higher court once I was five years old as a vampire. He boasted of how much an honour it would be to be in service of the higher court and of how much respect I would be bringing to the clan. I felt rather indifferent about the whole idea of wearing silky red robes and receiving orders from thousand year old vampires. I was even rather uninterested but I didn’t tell that to Jhan, he had sounded so proud already when he talked about it I didn’t want to off his fl

  • Crimson Moon   CHAPTER 53 — DAWN, BLOODY TWILIGHT

    I didn’t think much of it before I leaped for her windowsill. This town had mostly human occupants, I had to be careful. I caught hold and hoisted myself in, it was just like old times. When we were still madly in love. Her warm scent coated the room like a paint, it reminded me of the warmth she brought to me. I waited for her to walk in, for her to close the door behind her before I stepped out of the shadowy part I was camouflaged in.She gasped at my cold touch but she did not scream. I had expected her to at least put up a small fight but she didn’t resist when I pulled her closer to me. She stiffened for a little while, allowing me to wrack my brain in thought that it might not have worked, before she slowly whispered my name. Jhan had kept his word, she remembered me, the feeling of walking into her room to meet her vampire lover must have been all it took.The familiar warmth from her body seeped through my jacket, warming me up. She hugged me back

  • Crimson Moon   CHAPTER 52 — FIN.

    ONE WEEK LATER. FRIDAYWhen I wake up it is to the soft touch of someone's skin against my regrown arm. My eyelids flutter slower as dim lighters through my lashes. I saw several blurry figures looming above me. I couldn't make out any faces or sounds except for the darker skin of Jhan... Or Nicha.After a few more minutes of indistinct chatter and blurry vision, I finally made out Leya's face. She looked down at me, a concerned frown on her face."Le-Leya?" I muttered. "What happened?""Shush. He’s waking, he's waking..." I couldn't recognize to whom this voice belonged to but it sounded feminine."Where I'm I?" I tried raising my head but the blow from a strong migraine sent me back down."We won Kaldar, you helped defeat Hardaj..."“Tia? Who is Hardaj?""Oh, for hells sake. Cut us the slack Kaldar! You were only out one week." Jereum said in an irritated complaining manner.I tried recollecting how I had g

  • Crimson Moon   CHAPTER 51 — END GAME.

    CONTINUATION…I heaved painfully with a croaked grunt as I killed the last one in the higher court. I had used the same move Jereum had used to get behind me to kill the second wolf. As it had bit at me, I jumped, planting a foot firmly to the walls and pushing myself forward. Driving the sharp silver blade into the back of the creature’s neck, dragging the blade along its spine and severing just about any vitals in its back.All the adjudicators lay in pieces on the floors. Their bodies slowly vapourizing away. I went through a door at the back of the large assembly hall, that's where the refuges were held. On walking down the stairs and getting to a lower floor I was roughly hit and then pinned down by something.The wolf snapped at my head repeatedly and I dodged to either side while still lying under it. It went straight to me this time and placed a hand on its snout and pushed back on it as it tried forcing its head down. It was winning, its op

  • Crimson Moon   CHAPTER 50 — FINK.

    SAME DAYEveryone who wore the red robed today we're considered the bravest and most loyal vampires and wolves. To fight in a battle so gruesome, death was assured to come to you, in the faith for the greater good.I had waited patiently, bearing the pulsating pain in my chest and hoping for the best for all of us. For the best that we would all survive and be together one last time as a clan before I set off on my own path to find out for myself the answers to my life. But the odds of that were slim and the chances of only one of us surviving was great.But I had hope. Hope on the fact that the adjudicators with the mind's-eye were to pair up with another fighter, either wolf or vampire. The one with mind manipulation would do their best to deceive the enemy into seeing mirages while the other defeats the opponent. But the wolves were no ordinary being, and the control they had over their minds was strong. It was left to a psychic battle between vampire and wol

  • Crimson Moon   CHAPTER 49 — CANINE PARTNERS.

    FRIDAYI tried taking my mind off Dawn but it seemed impossible. I thought about her in everything that I did. She was pasted on my mind like before. Her beautiful face was all I could think about. I could only think about the times that we shared together. Those blessed moments that I would forever keep to myself. I removed the pendant and placed it inside a small box I got from Jhan. I couldn't let it damage on my neck.“It was for the best,” Tia told me.“She was getting more delicious with every passing day anyway,” Jereum said, giving me a consolatory pat to my shoulder. Leya had been silent ever since. The whole concept of the war and the possibilities of our deaths, she was not dealing well with.The arrow that struck night had gone through an artery in her body. She almost died but was now in an unconscious state in her village. Tia was still a bit sad about it. I had talked to her earlier when we were alone and she just br

  • Crimson Moon   CHAPTER 48 — GOODBYE MY LOVE.

    THURSDAYNicha continued applying the medicine to my wound. It was the awkward quietness that came with it that was unbearable. She resorted to taking her time when she worked, doing it slowly and quickly apologizing anytime I winced or groaned in pain.My clan came to see how I was doing. I noticed glum expression but held back anything that had to do with her sister being a Lupine. I wasn’t sure she was ready to talk about it just yet. Jhan told me that the adjudicator was shortly knocked out by Jereum after she hit me down from the cliff. A dozen wolves had attacked the higher court, killing most of the adjudicators that were brave enough to fight. Alzaraq met with our higher court and cleared that the wolves were not from his clan.He had told them about Hardaj and his plans to dominate over the vampires. An official treaty was made that declared Lupine kind and vampire one and united but only to face the war ahead after which both species would go the
