2024-10-29 19:42:569:00PM 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

Segun grumbled as he slowly and reluctantly trudged along the way to the shop. Two things he loved apart from food was books and sleep. That afternoon, he had just gotten back home from the library and what he needed was a good day rest. Unfortunately, just as soon as his head touched the pillow, visitors arrived and he was summoned by his parents to go and buy refreshments. Very annoying, considering the fact that his younger brother, wole was available and less busy. He entered the shop, purchased a few drinks and was just about leaving when he caught sight of someone in the distance. The person looked familiar. He peered closer and discovered that it was…‘Sharon?’ he mused. She was wearing a long sleeve navy blue shirt and black knee length skirt and was carrying a nylon. She didn’t see him though and she was about to turn to a bend that led to another road.“Hey, Sharon!!” He called and she turned around in surprise. Seeing him, she smiled and wave

“Man, this game is a stupid cheat!!” Jake screamed in frustration as Daniel defeated him in yet another round of Mortal Kombat .The two childhood friends were playing video games in Daniel’s living room, while the three girls, Annabelle, Sharon and Tomiwa were by the dining table engaging in ladies gossip. Mrs Johnson was in the kitchen, preparing dinner.“It’s not a cheat.” Daniel was laughing uncontrollably now. “You just suck.”“Says who?” Jake frowned. “Dude, the only reason you won was because you used Shao Khan. That guy is a cheat. How can someone take more than ten massive hits and receives minimum damage.But when he hits you once, you lose almost half of your life. This is absolute bullshit!!”“JACOB!” Mrs Johnson cried out from the kitchen, surprise and disapproval in her voice. “LANGUAGE!”“Sorry, ma'am!” Jake replied with a sheepish grin.“See?” Daniel gave him a cocky grin. “ This is why you should calm down. Your blood is just boilin

“Daniel, please hold still.” Sharon pleaded as she held his struggling legs still.They were all in the car with Jake and Mrs Johnson occupying the front seat while the three girls sat at the back with a struggling Daniel, sprawled on their legs.“Please Baby, hold still.” Esther muttered silently as she sped like a maniac along the road. Jake glanced at her worriedly before turning to the back. His eyes met Annabelle’s and saw the message in them.There were all in imminent danger. They had tried explaining things to Mrs Johnson back home but she dismissed their opinions, claiming that it was an attack. It was a hard fought battle to lift Daniel all the way from the living room to the car. His thrashing and wild struggles proved to be a handful for them.Leaving the house, he couldn’t help but notice that the three hunters were missing again. Where were those guys when one really needed them?He pushed the thoughts to the back of his h

The whiteness of the ceiling was the first thing that greeted Daniel when he opened his eyes. From the faint smell of medicine and equipments,he deduced he was in a hospital and he sat up abruptly."Daniel,you're awake!! Oh,thank heavens!!"A hand was placed over his forehead and he saw his mom. Her eyes were a little puffy showing that she had been crying. Looking around,he discovered his other friends were also present."Bro.you gave us quite the scare." Jake laughed and punched him lightly on the shoulder."Sorry,I guess?" Daniel retorted,his head tilted sideways as if trying to remember something. His countenance did not go unnoticed by the other occupants of the room. Esther however was in a dilema. With what just transpired earlier,She was at a loss. This was the first time bar luke that she witnessed a supernatural event..to her son no less."Daniel." She held his hand" How are you feeling now?""What?" He blinked back to

A red faced Luke paced around the room in impatience. It had been a few hours since he sent his son and Razor on the errand but it seemed liked decades.Thats what happens when you have been hit with a wave of paranoia for the past few weeks."What in the living hell is taking them so long?" He growled. Seeing the fruitlessness of his endless pacing,he opted to sit on the specially-designed siver chair facing the exit. Coincidentally, his son entered followed shortly by Razor. Luke perked up as soon as they entered."Well?" He looked at them expectantly."We found her,Father." Chris replied."It took longer than we expected,sir." Razor added."You don't say." Luke said dryly. The sarcasm dripping from his voice was not missed by the two other men. "Well,where is She?""You can come in now." Razor called out as he faced the door.Slight footsteps were heard and soon after a cloaked figure entered the room.The face of the person was partly cove

"Daniel,please calm down..."Simon did not finish his words as a quick punch to the jaw caught him off guard and sent him crashing through the gate and into the compound. He didn't have the time to catch his breath as Daniel was in front of him in a flash. Picking him up by the shirt, Daniel threw him back outside and quickly followed suit. Lifting him off the floor,Daniel charged forwards and slammed him backfirst to the wall beside the gate. The twins advanced to aid their comrade but simon beckoned to them to stand back." All this while." Daniel growled menacingly, his eyes turning blue as he held on to Simon's neck,slowly choking the life out of him."Daniel..." Simon grunted in discomfort. "You're...choking...me.""Give me one reason not to." Daniel retorted,adding even more force to his hold. The caucasian skin on the face of Simon had turned red at this point."Daniel?" A voice was heard from behind him and he turned around to see hi

"..What?!" The silmultaneous voices of Daniel and Eric echoed. Esther was also confused at this point."Look." Dr Adekoya said as she faced Eric "Put your gun down and let's have Daniel treated then i assure you i will explain everything."Eric shifted his gaze from his mother and glared at Daniel who returned his gaze with a heated look of his own."Eric!!" The doctor cried out, her voice was stern this time."Fine." Eric sighed and put his weapon away. He stretched his hand to Daniel who swatted it away with disgust. He wasn't surprised."I can get up fine on my own,thank you." Daniel stood up and headed inside."Suit yourself." Eric replied carelessly to a retreating and limping Daniel. He then turned to his mother who had a solemn look on her face."For all this is worth." He said "You had better be telling the truth." Moments later, they all gathered in the living room . Thank's to the doctor's expertise, the bullet w

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

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
