“ 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

    Tomiwa sighed tiredly as she put on her nightie and sat in front of the dressing mirror to comb her hair. Today had been the most embarrassing day of her life. Tisha had the nerve. After that ordeal which Jake had seen her bare breasts in their full glory, no thanks to you-know-who, he had slipped out of the water to excuse himself, a red blush on his cheeks. She couldn’t blame him though as she saw that her semi-nude form had taken effect evidenced by him covering the front of his trunks as he left. She heaved a sigh of relief as she was thankful that Daniel didn’t see the show, due to Annabelle’s interference. She dropped the comb and stared at her reflection in the mirror.‘ Jake and I are dating.’ She mused. ‘ Why am I shy about him seeing me in the nude. I mean I trust him and he has proven to be a gentleman on more than enough occasions. A shy gentleman, though. But it makes him cuter like that. I don’t even know if we can move into the more intimate part of the re

    Tomiwa sighed in bliss as she rested her head on Jake’s chest, the sheets doing little to cover their nakedness. Her eyes were closed and there was a gentle smile on her face. Jake had surprised her with his display of prowess and stamina in the bed for someone who was so inexperienced. A red blush appeared on her face as she remembered the erotic spots on her body he didn’t ignore during their. activities. Not that she complained though. He sure knew how to use hands..and tongue.She moaned comfortably as he played with her hair with one hand and with the other, he drew circles on her back with his index finger.“So." She said as she faced him. “Any regrets?”“Well, no." He replied as he continued with his drawing motions. “ It’s just that it feels so weird for me having sex for the first time at the age of 16.”She raised an eyebrow. “Jake, there are others that lost their virginities at the age of 14.Even 13.”“I know.” He smiled. “ Those were

    A black maria zoomed along the highway in the late night. It’s noise loud enough to disturb the peace and serenity of the evening. The front and passenger seats were occupied by two policemen who were chatting away, while the back was occupied by criminals who had just received judgment and sat in handcuffs. The air was filled with gloom as none of the criminals made any sound. Each to his own thoughts.“I swear to God, Arsenal has to be the most useless team I have ever seen in my life.” The cop who was driving cursed as his face squeezed in anger.His comrade laughed hysterically as he beat his chest to steady himself. “ Are you just knowing that?”“Just to beat common Everton!!” The cop who was driving cried out. “The useless team threw away the lead and lost again.Wenger should better leave that club. His own is too much. After all, he is not the only coach available. Every season they give him good transfer budget, he ends up buying useless

    “148….149..…150!!” Eric grunted as he pushed himself from the ground, completing his workout: 150 pushups. He cracked his neck to get the kinks away as sweat rolled down his muscular body. He was currently in his gym at home and it was in the early hours of the morning. 5:00AM to be precise. Usually he wasn’t used to getting up this early until it was 6 AM, but things had been different of recent. Since the weeks that passed since the attack on Sharon’s house, he had been more occupied with vampire extermination but it seemed to be more frustrating as they seemed to just multiply. Kill one, Two appear the next day. Kill three, Seven appear. Kill ten, twenty five appear. It was turning to be one heck of a headache and it seemed to be affecting him emotionally. At work, he kept to himself and most times he was brooding and preferred to be left alone. Some of his female colleagues who had tried vying for his attention saw the red signal from him and were wise enough to read

    For a moment, nothing was said. They all stood staring. It was so impossible to believe that someone who previously lay dead, minutes ago was standing before them as if nothing had happened.“Guys, seriously.” Daniel raised his eyebrows. “ It’s me.You can stop with the silence and staring. It’s really creepy. Somebody say something for crying out loud.”Annabelle walked slowly towards him, dropping her crossbow and taking slow baby steps, while the others stood rooted to their spots. She reached him and placed her palm over his left cheek, it felt so warm and comfortable unlike the previously cold temperature. He smiled at her as he placed his hand over hers, squeezing lightly. His smile disappeared a moment later though when he saw tears spilling out of her eyes.“Ann?” He said gently as the ran a thumb along her face, wiping a tear away. “Please don’t…”He was cut off as she lunged at him and held him in a tight embrace. And then she released all her pent u

    Luke folded his arms with a proud smile on his face as he stood on the balcony and watched his new recruits train. So far they were all progressing well and were already adapting to the intense and vigorous training methods, considering the fact that they were turned just a few days ago. However, only one of the new recruits caught his eye. Razor was his name and he had the potential to be one of his strongest warriors. He was a very muscular man and stood at an imposing height. He had an afro and was fair in complexion with a few scars running down his arms. Before turned, he was a hardened criminal responsible for the deaths of many. He formerly led a gang of robbers on many successful operations and was a very sharp shooter and fighter, hence his nickname. The only reason for his unexpected arrest was due to the betrayal from his second in command who wanted to seize power. His second in command had secretly and codedly tipped the police about his whereabouts and hence, he

    “Alright, Daniel. You won.” Annabelle sighed. “ You can get off now.”Daniel didn’t budge. He kept her hand pinned and kept on staring. Although a bit sweaty from their workout, she was a mesmerizing sight. Beads of sweat rolled down her face to the floor and her red lips opened a bit as she panted. He looked lower to her revealing cleavage which seemed to become more exposed due to her heavy breathing. A red blush appeared on his face as new perverted thoughts began to flow in his mind which he had to admit at that point was strange. For a moment, she looked tempting to him and he just felt like ripping off her sports bra and feasting on that soft, succulent..“Daniel!” Her voice brought back to reality and he looked up to see a confused look on her face.“Sorry, what was that?” He said.“I’ve been calling your name like five times now.” She frowned, before a teasing smile appeared on her face.“But I guess you were too busy feeding your eyes.

    9:00PM was what his wristwatch read. His breathing was heavy as he silently and stealthily grazed the bushes. Today was definitely Eric’s busiest day. The news of missing people kept spreading rapidly like wildfire and there were also reported cases of escaped criminals. For the past two hours, he had massacred 25 vampires on his rampage and the remaining he had seen had fled into the bushes.‘If only I can get my hands on the one creating these demons, these will be a lot easier.’ He thought as he parted the bushes with one hand, The other holding tightly to his gun. A strange sight aroused his curiosity as he saw a fallen figure from afar. He quickly rushed to the figure and saw that it was a deadman. Examining his body, Eric discovered that it hadn’t been long he was killed as his body hadn’t turned pale. His eyes were still open and there was blood seeping out from his neck.‘May his soul rest in peace.’ Eric sighed as he closed the eyes of th

    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

    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
