2020-12-20 18:47:03“ Tomiwa” Daniel began. “It’s not safe around here at this time of the night. Please I think it’s time you..”
“Don’t give me that bull, Dan.” Tomiwa retorted shocking the duo. Tomiwa wasn’t known to cuss that much. She was definitely pissed and by her rushed breaths, it was enough evidence.
“I don’t know what the both of you do every night. Frankly, that’s your concern but Dan, I need to know what’s happening here. Why are you two here and where is Jake?” she continued.
Daniel sighed and glanced at Annabelle. He could see a worried look scarring her facial features and he wasn’t feeling better. Why now of all times did tomiwa have to show up and what excuse were they going to give now. To make matters worse, it looked like she wasn’t leaving anytime soon.
“Tomiwa” Annabelle said, staring at the other girl in the eye. “I think

Tomiwa stood rooted to the spot, stunned. She couldn’t believe what she just heard. Were this guys serious or were they messing with her?“I told you that you won’t believe this.” Daniel sighed and then turned to Annabelle. “See?!”“Wait.” Tomiwa said as she shook her head vigorously to come back to reality. “ Let me get something straight. I may get the whole part of Jake and Daniel’s mum being kidnapped or some kinda stuff like that. But you?!!”She concluded staring at Annabelle. “You can’t be a vampire. For Christ sake, they are nothing but a myth!!”“I know it’s hard to take in.” Annabelle sighed sadly. “ But it’s true”“Prove it.” Tomiwa said disapprovingly. This sounded like fairytale to her. What next? Zombies exist too?Annabelle sighed and disappeared in a whoosh making Tomiwa jump in fright. She was left alone with Daniel who had an amused look on his face.“Where.. where did she..” Tomiwa stammered as she gazed around frant

“ You ever considered a career in acting because your skills are off the chain” Daniel laughed as he tugged tomiwa’s hair playfully.“Hey, ease off” she pouted, swatting his hand away. “Thanks for the complement anyway but you guys took too long. Any moment longer and I would have been dinner” she frowned.“But the plan was a success anyway.” Annabelle retorted. She pulled Chris up by the collar and held his hands behind him. Not that he could put up a fight anyway, the wooden stakes still embedded in his body had neutralized him.“Count yourself lucky that we need you right now” She turned to chris. “ Otherwise I would have driven a stake through your heart right now”“Tell me something” Chris chuckled weakly as he looked at her straight in the eye. “ Since when did you descend so low to mingle with these feeble humans. If I remember correctly, since our last encounter you couldn’t control the urge. My father gave me the details”“Typical of him”

“Doctor, how is his condition?” Daniel asked a woman who had just come out from the ward. She was wearing light spectacles and a lab coat. And she looked like she was in her mid 40s. The crew had arrived at the hospital just in time and Jake was rushed in for treatment. His parents were notified by Esther and they quickly arrived like the speed of lightening. So far, there was no ounce of happiness or excitement in the room. Mrs Adewale was seated on a chair, sobbing gently. Esther sat beside her and put an arm around her in a comforting fashion. Mr Adewale sat at the other end of the chair and supported his chin with his clasped hands, a thoughtful look on his face. Tomiwa stood beside them with a solemn look on her face fighting to hold the tears from flowing freely. The memories of his unconscious face were still fresh in her mind.“Please, Jake.” She whispered to herself. “Hang on….Please.”Daniel however had followed the doctor into her office to g

Daniel leaned forward and rested his hands on the cool tiles of the wall as the water cascaded down his body. He sighed in relief and satisfaction at the moderate temperature of the water. Neither hot or cold. He was currently at home taking his bath as he didn’t think going back to school was necessary. A lot had happened from his time in the hospital to now. Explanation of every details to all that has been happening to his mum wasn’t an easy feat as he received some scolding on why he never told her earlier. Of course he omitted the part of Annabelle’s status to her. And there was Sharon who was kept in the dark about all of these. He sighed again as he soaped his hair and began to hand-scrub it. Sharon was so delicate emotionally and he wondered how she would receive this. Then there was his discussion with the three men…….. &nbs

Luke paced around restlessly in his abode. It had been two days since he sent Chris and Angela to escort the rest of the coven. If his calculations were correct, they should be here by now. He moved to the window and glanced out. The night was still young as the streets was still buzzing with activities. His super hearing picked up on the noises coming from the various vehicles speeding about, loudspeakers blazing from a nearby dance club.“Pathetic." He smirked. “ Dance while you can, feeble humans. Soon you’ll be dancing to my tune."He heard footsteps behind him and soon, the door opened. He turned around and saw a man breathing heavily, a panicked look on his face.“What is it?” Luke frowned.“My lord.” The man panted. “ We have a problem.”Luke’s eyes narrowed but he said nothing, he nodded to the man to lead the way and they both left the room. They arrived at the compound and Luke was astonished. Chris and Angela stood tiredly w

“ By the way.” Annabelle touched the silver neck chain around Daniel's neck. “ What’s this?”“Oh this?” He replied. “A gift from my grandfather. Got it for my birthday.”Annabelle narrowed her eyes as she played with the silver ball and traced her index finger around the 'W'. Daniel caught the look on her face and raised his eyebrow.“Any problem?” He asked.“Not at all.” She smiled at him. “It’s just that it looks so beautiful and so unique.”“I know.” He replied. “ My granddad always had the best taste in shopping. Well……except that time he mistakenly bought me a ladies underwear when I was 11.” He blushed in embarrassment at the horrific memory.Annabelle reared her head back and broke into fits of laughter, gathering a bit of attention to their side. Most of the people smiled and dismissed it as him trying to flirt with her and they went back to their business. Soon her laughter was reduced to giggles and she placed one hand on his

“ I still can’t believe I am finally here.” Tomiwa piped happily as she walked hand in hand with Jake.They were walking behind Daniel and Annabelle who led the quartet along the bushy path. The ground was quite wet and muddy due to the occurrence of rain, a few minutes prior to their arrival and they could see some birds whistling and tweeting as they flew and perched from tree to tree. Frogs croaked nearby and there were sounds of crickets chirping. The forest was thick with activities as it was still midday.“I’ll make sure I get enough pictures before we leave.” She added excitedly.“ Predictable.” Jake rolled his eyes and she jabbed him lightly in the ribs, sticking her tongue out at him.“Remind me why your friend stays alone in the middle of the forest again?” Daniel said, momentarily swatting away an irritating insect that buzzed near his ear.“It’s part of her lifestyle.” Annabelle replied. “ She prefers not to stay aro

“ I don’t know. Are you sure it’s safe?” Daniel said as he surveyed the stream behind Tisha’s house. It looked calm and peaceful and the reflection of the setting sun added to it’s beauty.“Of course.” Tisha snorted with a roll of her eyes. “ I’ve been swimming here for decades."The five of them stood by the banks fully dressed except for Jake who was eager to dive into the water. He was wearing an orange boxers which served as a make-do swimming trunks. The other exception was Tisha who was wearing a blue bikini that was a bit too revealing. The boys had a hard time staring at her revealed curves.. not that she cared anyway.“I would have loved to dive in.” Tomiwa said. “ But I didn’t bring any swimsuit.”“Solved.” Annabelle piped with a smug smile. She turned to Tomiwa. “ I brought a spare in case you were willing to swim.”Then she paused and a thoughtful look appeared on her face. “ Although I should have mentioned she had a

Daniel stood in front of the raging blue ocean at the beach clad in nothing but a pair of blue shorts. It had been seven years since the battle. He had now added more muscle mass and sported facial hair. His mouth pursed in a thin line as he reminisced all that had happened in almost a decade:After the strike was called off,the university resumed and everything went on. Almost like nothing happened. Projects,assignment and finally graduation.Sharon and Segun were going steady. Jake and Tomiwa' relationship blossomed. A smile crossed his features when he remembered a call from Jake giving him the news about purchasing an engagement ring. Well it was about time. Seven years of dating was no laughing matter. Eric had joined the armed forces,convincing Daniel to tag along. With vampires out of existence, the brothers could actually channel their abilities to defending their country. Though Esther disapproved her son's intentions at first, It took a lot of convincing and rem

Daniel stared hopelessly as Luke walked to him. He was in a tight corner. Figuratively and Literally.The look on Luke's face was something he had never seen before. Almost like he was deranged. Like someone who had been expecting a gift but had to wait a long while for it. Well,so to speak.'God,I'm really screwed.' Daniel thought as he looked around for some kind of escape. The training he went through at the hands of Annabelle in the past seemed pointless now. Sure,he may stand a chance against any regular vampire. But this was Luke. The first. The father of them all."I would like to say it has been a pleasure knowing you." Luke said dryly. " But I would just be lying to myself."Before Daniel could move...or even think of his next action,he found himself in the tight grip of Luke,who had held him by the scruff of his hoodie and raised him up."At long last." Luke muttered darkly,as his eyes began to darken red. " I am invincible. "

Annabelle grunted in pain as she fell on her back for about the hundredth time. So far she was fighting a losing battle.She had tried every attack imaginable on Chris. But try as she might,Chris was just too experienced and powerful. The last time she was able to take him down was almost a year ago at the forest. But even at that, It took using Tomiwa as bait for that to work. But this time,there was no bait.No plans.No strategy. Just the two of them with a restricted Jake and Tomiwa as the spectators.Chris walked towards Annabelle who was still crouched on all fours. He kicked her at the sides,eliciting a grunt from her."Goodness,I'm having way too much fun." He cackled as he held her by the back of her neck. He pulled her towards him with her back resting on his chest."I expected much more from you,Annabelle. " He whispered into her ear. " But I suppose this is what I should expect from someone with a limited diet. Tell me,when last di

Eric stopped the car and the trio stepped out. His eyes went wide as he took in the sight of the huge building in front of them."Wow. This is huge. " He whistled."Yeah. Well,we can have the time to admire it later." Daniel retorted indifferently. He wore a black hoodie and navy blue jeans. His signature crossbow was held at his right hand. Glancing at his watch,the time read 1:30AM."Alright, this is it." Eric said. He pulled out a shot gun and cocked it,a serious gaze crossing his face as he stared at the mansion." We've gone through our plans and I know no one is having second thoughts."He stared at the other two.Daniel nodded. However, Annabelle who had been quiet throughout the ride to the place,said nothing."Babe?" Daniel turned to her. " What's wrong?""Honestly, I'm just having a strange feeling.Something just doesn't feel right." She sighed,running her hand through her hair. She wasn't a stranger to sudden intu

A streaming light from the moon penetrated through the window to illuminate a small room. A room which held two captives.Jake groaned as part of the moonlight bathed his face,rousing him awake. He tried to move but discovered to his dismay that his hands were chained to the wall."What the hell?" He was fully awake now and took an observatory glance around his prison. It was barely occupied. A few crates here and there. A large wooden table beside the door. His ears perked up as he heard another moan. A moan of pain. He glanced to his right just in time to see a barely awake Tomiwa."Jake?" She groaned."I'm here,babe." He whispered."Where are we?" She grunted in pain as she felt the impact of the chains around her wrist."I don't know. Some kind of small room." He replied. He craned his neck to look towards the window. A bad choice as he felt a crick in his neck. He cried out in pain.Tomiwa didn't get the chance to comfort him as the door

Daniel stared at the paper which contained those detailed words.The words which revealed the weapon of Luke's demise. Annabelle had laid her head on his thighs with her eyes closed. Although, she wasn't sleeping. Eric sat at the couch opposite him,typing away on his phone. Occasionally, the two would spare glances at each other. Daniel glaring, Eric smirking. The fact that Eric decided to stay the night was reason enough for the staredown between the two siblings."Oh,will you two cut it out already? The heated staredown is enough to fry ten billion eggs." Annabelle groaned from her position below. Daniel caught her lips twitching up slightly to form a smile,though her eyes remained closed."Don't look at me. I'm just here minding my own business." Eric shrugged,giving a blank stare at the couple."Right." Daniel snorted with a roll of his eyes. He had been on edge since Eric's arrival. He knew he was safe at least but he wasn't sure about Annabel

Sharon stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her petite figure. It had been a long time since the whole supernatural fiasco that went down at Daniel's. As much as she wanted to take advantage of this strike and spend much time with her friends,she didn't think she could psychologicaly bear the brunt of another strange event. Besides,her friends were locked up at their homes out of fear.She wouldn't blame them though. No sane person would go through what they did and think it wise to parambulate around the street like everything was alright.She sighed and slumped to the bed tiredly.She wasn't completely dry though and the bed began to soak up a bit but she paid no attention to it.She had more worrisome issues to think about.Where did it go wrong? Why can't everything go back to the way it was before? Normal.The shrilling ringtone of her phone startled her and she opened her eyes. She picked up her phone and checked the screen. The ID

*FLASHBACK* ~1517~A nobleman sat in a chair in the living room entertaining his guest. Though it was a traditional setting, the living room was quite furnished and neat. Two chairs made of mahogany wood were on each side of a silver-ardorned table which was occupied with different delicacies of food. On the floor was a rug made of animal skin. At the adjacent side of the room stood a wooden shelf which housed different ornaments made of gold. It was quite clear to those who knew him and those who visited him for the first time that the nobleman was very rich and powerful. However within the exterior of the man was a soul pocessed with greed and drunk with power. The nobleman wanted more. He wanted the whole town and how he got wealthy in the first place was not by clean acts."I te
DARK MYSTERIES Chapter 42
Deep within an abandoned area was an uncompleted building. In it sat four men surrounding a lamp and playing a game of cards. These men were what you could refer to as the scum of the earth. Hardened criminals who had wasted lives without remorse. And they all looked the same. Rugged,heartless and ugly. This place was their regular hideout where they all met to drink and gamble as a means of celebration of a successful raid.The snap of a twig from a short distance outside the building caught their attention and they paused."Tunde." The leader whispered to a short guy beside him. "Find out what that was."The short guy got up and brought out a revolver from his back pocket. With a look of alert on his face, he cocked it and stepped out. The remaining three were waiting for his return when an ear-piercing scream was heard. They quickly sprang to their feet and pulled out their guns. Moments later,footsteps could be heard approaching the building and the silou
