2024-10-29 19:42:56..A bat hung upside down at the branch of an oak tree. It’s wings covering it’s body as it snoozed peacefully. A sudden movement below startled it and it quickly snapped awake, eyes glaring .
Below, a white rabbit hopped around, it’s nose twitching as it sniffed around for food. The bat adjusted itself and stood upright on the branch, excited at the sight of a new meal. It bared it’s fangs in excitement as the rabbit continued moving about, unaware of the imminent danger about to occur.
With a sharp snarl, it swooped down and the rabbit suddenly, seeing the approaching predator, took off. It was a short chase as the bat was gearing closer, it’s feet close to grabbing the rabbit by the neck. Then it happened.
Before it could lay it’s claws on the poor animal, a growl was heard nearby and a grey wolf jumped out of the swiped the bat away with it’s claw. The bat landed roughly against a tree bark and quickly regained it’s balance, flying to perch on the branch a

“Well,well,well. Look who's late." Tomiwa teased the boys as they finally made their way into the class. As predicted, they arrived twenty minutes late and after some insults from the lecturer, they were told to wait outside as punishment before being pardoned and allowed to come in.“It wasn’t our fault.” Jake grumbled.“Oh really?” she smiled. “ Who’s fault was it?”“ Long story.” Jake muttered.“ Yeah,right.” She laughed.Daniel sat down beside Sharon with a frown. He prayed that today would not get any worse because if someone managed to anger him, he would not go as easy on that person as he went on Falcon. Sharon for once decided not to bother him as she saw his mood.“I smell fury.” a feminine voice sang in his ear and he turned around to look into the teasing chocolates of Annabelle’s eyes.“Then your nose works well.” he managed a small smile.“Terrible morning?” She asked.“Yeah.” He replied as he faced his

“ Dan, hold on.” Annabelle pleaded as she advanced towards him.“STAY BACK!” he screamed as he moved backwards. He turned around and took off in the opposite direction only to meet her already in front of him, much to his shock.“Dan.” she said sadly. “I know you have every right to be scared of me. I would too."“Oh, is that so?” he cried out, an amused look on his face, despite his fear. “I can’t believe you hid this from me the whole time.Brushing aside my claims of vampire existence in this school.”“Oh, what did you expect?!” she cried out, eventually losing her temper, her eyes glowing momentarily. “That I should just walk up to you and say :Hi, my name is Annabelle and I’m a 67 year old vampire. Can we be friends? Is that what you were expecting?” she added.Daniel became quiet as he knew she had a point there, but that didn’t mean she was off the hook. For crying out loud, she just killed a guy moments ago. The guy was a

A smashing sound was heard as Daniel was once again floored by his teacher, none other than Annabelle.“Too slow” She teased as she walked around his groaning form. “How do you expect to beat Luke and the rest if I am too much for you?”She raised her leg up and brought it down on his chest but he quickly rolled away at the last minute making her heel smash into the wooden floor, creating a hole in it. He raised his eyebrow at that.“ Wow." He said as he stood in a fighting stance. “ Not planning to go easy on me?”She charged towards him and threw a punch but he dodged barely as he felt the breeze move past his face from the movement of her fist. He landed a punch in her stomach stunning her a bit and making her double over. Seeing an opportunity to strike, he attempted to hit knee her face but she put her palm in the way, pushing his knee back and aimed to strike his stomach but he quickly caught her fist and spun her around be

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!”Joyous shouts were heard as Daniel was awoken by a splash of cold water to his face, courtesy of his excited room mates, including Jake.“ What is wrong with you people?!” Daniel cried out in annoyance as he wiped his face with his hands. “Have you all gone insane ?”“Dude, forget that." Segun laughed as he returned the now empty container. “ That is how supposed to be for the celebrant. You should be happy that its only us in this room that know about your birthday. Otherwise you would have received a cold bath outside”Daniel sighed in annoyance as he examined his now wet bed.“Just take a look at this." He grumbled. “Even you, Jake. Don’t worry, your own birthday is next two weeks.”“You think say I'll be in this room by that time?" Jake laughed. “ I will hide in one of my guy's place”“As if.” Daniel replied. “ That is all talk.We will still surround you when you c

“ This party is the bomb!!”“Nice one,Daniel. You tried."These were random chants made at Daniel’s way as he relaxed by a table at the beach The cake had been cut and shared and everyone made sure they had their share. The whole place was lively and there was enough food and drinks for everybody. A DJ stood nearby and mixed some songs which the students danced to. Majority had opted to take off their casual wear to reveal swim suits themselves. Daniel and the gang were no exception to this situation.Daniel was dressed in dark blue shorts and nothing else, leaving his upper body bare much to some admiration from the females nearby which he ignored. A small frown appeared on his face as he noticed that Annabelle had run off to God knows where. She was the only one who was dressed in casual wear. She mumbled some words that he couldn’t understand and sped off to the direction of one of the huts, much to his confusion and Sharon’s glee.

“Wow, Ann.” Daniel gaped as he scanned her from head to toe. “You look….”“Yes?” she smiled, a teasing glint in her eye.“You look…” he still stuttered.“Hmm?” she pressed on, tilting her head to the side.“Beautiful.” He concluded, looking at her straight in the eye. He wasn’t one to complement girls on their appearance. To him, it never mattered anyway. All he cared about was the personality hidden behind the appearance. If you have a good personality and a beautiful appearance, that’s good. If you are beautiful but your personality is repulsive, then get lost.Then again, having intimate conversations with the opposite sex wasn’t much of his thing. It’s surprising to see how much this beautiful badass standing in front of him had changed a lot in him.She smiled at his reply and wrapped her arms around his

“Ann, that wasn’t fair.” Daniel pouted as he wrapped his arms around her waist with her back leaning against him. He sighed comfortingly as his hands felt the texture and temperature of her cold skin.“I don’t know what you’re talking about” She said innocently as she leaned her head backwards into his chest.“You know what I am talking about.” He insisted.“Nope.” She giggled and placed her hand around his and moved along with him to the rhythm of the song. It was currently a slow one.“Who denies a celebrant of his birthday present on his birthday? Who does that?” He frowned.“I already gave you your present” She tilted her head towards him and smiled innocently again.“I meant the other one!!!” He cried out in frustration. Was she having fun teasing him like this?“Oh that one.” She said in mock realization.“Yes” He rolled his eyes. “ That one.”“Tell you what” She said with a sly smile and ran her lips up his jaw until she r

Esther moaned in pain as she came to consciousness. “What happened?”One moment she was driving towards home after visiting her son to give him his birthday present, The next, she was well… here.Here in question was a spacious room with lots of boxes around her, the only other object occupying the room was a dim bulb which glowed above her head producing the sole source of illumination in the otherwise dark room. She tried to move and discovered to her horror that she was confined to a chair and bound with ropes which restricted her movements. She drew her head back and let out a huge sigh of frustration.‘ How did this happen?!’ She screamed internally.She racked her brain as she started to remember slowly: She was on her way home from her son’s school when her car suddenly broke down. It was beginning to be a thing of nature now for the annoying vehicle.It was already dark and she didn

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
