Death of Vampires (Book #2 of BTCO) Lone star
Days went by and Kyra kept up with what she was doing. She tried to get Sage off her mind, ignoring him and trying to focus on herself and her training. She got to spar with Samantha all the time and their friendship deepened. They got so close that they went everywhere together and if they got separated in the training, they would always find each other again. it was as if they couldn’t do without each other. Some of the times, at night, they would sneak away and go to meet Jade at the mountain top to keep him company, because Kyra believed he was lonely. But what she didn’t know was that every little action of her towards Jade started to spark something in him and unlike before where he wouldn’t allow anyone invade his space and would react coldly, he was now starting to loosen himself up. Few of the times when Kyra went to the mountain top, they would talk about what happened in training, especially during the duel and Kyra would start to talk about the most unimaginable things som

Kyra felt her heart miss a beat when she heard Sage call her and she quickly gathered her thoughts before slowly turning. He was wide awake now, as if he was never asleep in the first place, and he was looking at her."What are you doing here?" He asked.Kyra couldn't make an excuse at the moment and she didn't know how she would start. She has never been so clueless about what to do like the way she was now. She saw Sage stand to his feet and face her and it was then she just noticed how his face paled and a bit white.She raised her eyes in concern and asked him, "Are you unwell?""I was in the waters a few days back. I must have stayed long in it. I think it's an after effect.""What were you doing there? The sea could kill you. Aiden clearly said not to near it," she said, pulling her brows in concern."I didn't go there on purpose," Sage said and his voice sounded tired. "I lost my balance and fell in.""Was that why you were absent from training?" Sage lowered his eyes and said

Aiden arrived Athens and the guards outside stared him down, wondering what manner of audacity he had to step foot in their land. They had never seen him before so they thought he was human, and they knew what needed to be done to people like them.Aiden raised a hand and said, “I have come to visit the Council today. I am one of the five covens.”The guards exchanged a look and then one replied Aiden, “There are only four covens. Are you here to deceive us? Who are you working for?”“There are indeed five covens. My coven made it the fifth one,” Aiden said, looking all calm since he arrived. “I would like to meet with the Elders in the council. I seek safe passage.”A guard hastened his steps and he made his way to the council. He was stopped by Rune’s men who guarded the place.“A man is outside and wants me to deliver a message to the Elders,” the guard said.The council guard looked at him for few seconds and then said, “Follow me.”The guard followed and they walked in a long cor

Simon paced about the room, his eyes on his uncle who sat there quietly and seem to be lost in his own thoughts.“I know you miss my mother dearly,” Simon said and Donovan moved his head to look at him. “I do too.”“How can you say that after you got her killed?” Donovan asked him.Simon stopped pacing and he said, “I told you, I didn’t. I only did what the Elders told me to and Sapphire betrayed me. But even you are at fault. You never told me what to do.”“As if you would listen to me.”“Doesn’t matter,” Simon said to him. “You should have tried in the first place.”Donovan turned his eyes away from him and looked down on his hands.“Chaos is rising here in Athens and my people wants me to tell them what next to do. If I don’t, they will get impatient and go after the Elders, and you are not exempted.”“Don’t threaten me with that. I’m not scared of death.”Simon hardened his face and marched towards him. “This isn’t about you dying. It’s you suffering for the crimes that you didn’t

By the time Kyra and Sage got to Old Vine Town, it was already getting dark. Kyra got down from his back and she looked down at the sand before raising her eyes to look around. There was not a single soul in sight, and when they were in the air, she had looked down at the Town, viewing the whole place and saw how dead it was.They started to walk and Kyra had not seen a place that reflected an absence of life like the place. They had not walked too far when they saw ahead of them, piles of dead bodies that had been burnt. Someone must have gathered them up and set them on fire after they had died. There was a great stentch that roused from the place and Kyra had to cover her nose. "What is this place?" Sage asked after they walked past the piles of bodies.Kyra lowered her hand to her side and replied him, "This was the place my mother lived with her family. The people who lived here are the ones who knew what they were but never said anything. They accepted them, as long as they mea

Kyra returned to the house and she set the wood she managed to find down before putting it in the fireplace and she lit it up. The wood crackled up with fire and she moved to where Sage was. She picked up the bowl of cold water she had managed to find and she dipped a piece of cloth in it before squeezing. Without a word, she placed the cloth on his forehead and then moved her hand at intervals to the other part of his face, and then his neck.Sage stared at her and she reminded him of Simone who would always care for him this way. Whenever he has a cold, she would make him sit in the fireplace and would use a cloth to cover both of their heads, staring at the fire.Kyra took his hand and pressed the cloth on his skin, and she did the same to his other hand. When she was done, she put the cloth aside and met his eyes.“How are you feeling now?” she asked.“Better,” Sage answered. “What of Bathilda?”“She left already,” Kyra replied. When she came back, she didn’t meet her where she le

Kyra woke up and didn't meet Sage by her side, but she knew he was around, maybe outside. She remembered the night they both had together. She had wished the night would go on and wouldn't end. The night had been so magical and she knew that this was the start of something.She heard a sound outside and she smiled before getting up. She walked out of the house and saw him standing at the far front with his back turned towards her. She wondered what he was doing there so early.She took few steps forward and called his name;"Sage."She pulled her brows and slowed her steps now. Something was not right, she thought. It was as if he was acting strange.She stopped behind him and called with doubt, "Sage?"She saw him turn slowly and that was when she realized. He was not Sage. But where was he?Kyra moved back but she suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky to see dozens of vampires flying towards her. Before she knew it, they were all surrounding her and she turned and turned, lookin

Kyle went back to his room, feeling a deeper sense of excitement and as soon as he closed the door, he saw Sapphire emerge from the corner and his expression turned dark."I see your people celebrating," she said, walking to the side and turning to face him. "I told you, she would give in. Without you, we can find out ways. Now you have to give us a reason to keep you alive, else, your head will roll off your neck by noon."Sapphire pulled the corner of her lips into a smile. She had come to their coven to hide because Simon has his men out looking for her and Sage didn't want her near him. This would be his punishment, she thought. She would make sure he watch Kyra die, after which she would now have him all to herself."Have you so suddenly forgotten that I was the one who helped you in tearing Athens apart?" She asked. "Or did you think I wouldn't know about your plans to overthrow your master?"Kyle raised his eyes a little, looking surprised and just t the same time, a knock cam

Death of Vampires (Book #2 of BTCO) Epilogue
Present day…Every morning when it’s not the weekend, the house is always on heat mode. There is the TV playing, footsteps running from one place to another and music blaring out from a stereo in one of the rooms. Noises everywhere.Amber dashed out of the kitchen, pulling off her apron and carrying with her a lunchbox which was already packed. She rushed to the dining table and placed it aside before dishing out food from the pot she brought to the table earlier. Her eyes darted to the TV and she saw the news that was being displayed. It was yet another sad death and the cause unknown.“This doesn’t seem to end,” she muttered to herself and shook her head sadly.Turning her eyes away from the Tv, she moved her eyes towards one of the rooms, the one that belonged to her daughter and she shouted on top of her voice so her daughter would hear;“Renee! Get out here now! You are going to be late for school. Again! And turn off that damn stereo!”“I’m almost done! Give me a minute mom!” Re
Death of Vampires (Book #2 of BTCO) The prophecy fulfilled
Three days after, Aiden and the rest of the people had stayed back at Athens and are making preparations for the sacrifice which Kyra said they should prepare for before passing out on the field after the rift closed up and the black clouds cleared from the sky. Every one of them who accepted the prophecy and the Chosen One all stayed in Athens and prepared for the sacrifice as they all waited for her to wake up. Sage had been by her side during those three days, watching her and trying to understand how she must have felt after she woke up from her deep sleep. Bathilda had explained what happened while he was being held as a prisoner by his own people, but now, there was nothing like that anymore. No one belonged to a coven. They are all One.Kyra slowly opened her eyes and saw a figure standing over her and looking down at her. It was blurry at first and she called softly, “Sage.”“Oh sorry. I sneaked in after he left. Did you finally wake up?”Kyra blinked her eyes again and saw th
Death of Vampires (Book #2 of BTCO) Awakening the darkness
As they all waited for Kyra to say something, Kyle knew his coven all looked up to him now and this could be his chance to prove in front of everyone that he was the one they needed. If he killed the Chosen One now and in front of everyone, he could easily take over Athens and control all the other covens. He would build his own council where they would take orders from him and be brought for punishment if they went against him. This thought brought him an inner excitement and with that, he stepped out from the crowd.All eyes were on him and they all seem to want to know what he wanted to do as none of them was brave enough to step forward. He was even surprised when no one opposed him and it gave him more confidence. His lips twisted in a confident smirk. "So, the death warrior finally shows herself,” he said. “I thought Sapphire killed you. How are you still alive?”Kyra stood calm amid the storm that was slowly brooding inside of her and her hand gripped the ancient sword. “This i
Death of Vampires (Book #2 of BTCO) The wakening call
The guards that were outside the building of Athens, who were guarding the place from any intruders, soon became distracted by a brighter light they saw ahead of them, up in the sky. It looked like a blazing sun and it was heading directly towards them.“I think…the sun is about to fall,” one of them said and the others watched on, until they saw that it was closing in on them. Not having the time to take cover, they cowered and shield their faces with their hands and they expected to feel a burn on their skin, but instead of that, they heard a loud thud that shook the ground beneath them.Meanwhile, in Arkadia, the vampires were busy making plans on how they would attack Polis before the Silver Crest Coven would, and how they would capture the chosen one and kill her once and for all. Meera had brought Kevin to the coven, hoping to use him against Kyra who people speak so highly of and one that should be feared, but she was determined to kill her with her own hands. She vowed to make
Death of Vampires (Book #2 of BTCO) AWAKENED
Kyra slowly opened her eyes and she stared up at the ceiling for a long time. Her white skin was starting to return back to its original color and in a matter of seconds, it regained life once again. She raised her upper body and sat upright, her hands holding either sides of the hard stone where she laid and she buried her head down, her hairs falling over.She knew a lot had changed. The vampires were all back and she was being hunted again by them. Also, the world she knew of had also changed. Even Pollypel was no longer called like that anymore. It is now Polis.The events that happened in the past days suddenly came back to her and she knew she was staked by Sapphire who disguised herself using her shape-shifting technique. It was how she killed Sage in that war and he had thought she was the one.Revisiting the past as if she had really gone back and lived that life all over again felt like she had been out for years. She felt she had died and returned to life, but in a new form
Death of Vampires (Book #2 of BTCO) The light
Sage had just finished killing the last vampire left and he saw Kyra at the front coming towards him. it seems she had managed to kill Kyle and now, they were the only two left. The battle was over, he thought. As Kyra came to him, she embraced him and he embraced her back. Even though this was the end, they were still together, but as he was embracing her, he suddenly felt her push something into him and he let out a gasp before pushing her body away and he looked down at his own chest to see that she had just staked him with a sword. But why? He thought and the looked at her with pain in his eyes. Her eyes held no emotions or remorse. It was as if she had been waiting for this moment to get rid of him, but why would she do that to him, he thought again as his body fell to the ground and his vision became blurry.Kyra got to the scene and she saw someone standing with Sage. That was before she saw his body fall to the ground and she screamed his name;“SAGE!”But Sage didn’t hear her
Death of Vampires (Book #2 of BTCO) The last war
Kyra led her people to war. It was one that would never be forgotten, and one that no one would live to tell…Few hours before the war started, Kyra walked to the mountain and met with Jade. They both sat down there in silence and just staring at the horizon.“It’s going to be soon,” Kyra said to him. “I can feel it.”Jade looked at her, knowing what she meant, and Kyra looked at him and asked;“Is there anything you want to say to me?”Jade pulled the corner of his lips into a smile and said, “I wish you would have asked me before now.” Jade knew even if he said what was on his mind, it was already too late. And he said to her, “I thought you would know.”But Kyra understood what he was saying, and yet, she pretended not to know.They sat there in a long silence and as they watch the night go on, Kyra’s eyes caught something from afar, like a black cloud, heading towards them. she stood up, and so did Jade who knew what it was already, and he looked at her.Kyra went back to the cove
Death of Vampires (Book #2 of BTCO) For those who died unfairly...
Kyra sat on her stone bed, wiping the blood off her sword with a piece of cloth. As she did that, a knock came on her door and when she raised her eyes up, she saw Sage entering, and he shut the door again. He walked towards her with a bowl and a cloth in his hand and he came to stand in front of her.Kyra set down her sword to the side carefully and she looked at him again. She hasn't said a word to him ever since they got back together, even though she knows he has lost his uncle and brother.Sage placed the bowl beside her and took her hand gently without permission. He dipped the cloth inside the water and squeezed and he started to wipe her body with it. After he was done with her hands, he came up to her face and started wiping the dirt and blood off and the water turned dirty."Do you think I'm right with what I'm doing?" She asked him.Sage stopped the movement of his hand and he asked, "Leading us to war?" He then answered, "It's the only thing we can do. Since Aamon is dead,
Death of Vampires (Book #2 of BTCO) Pledge to the Chosen One
Since the day Kyra and Sage returned to Pollypel island, the place has been silent and they didn't return to their normal life. No one trained anymore or bullied anyone. Everyone just kept to themselves, grieving inside and awaiting what was next for their lives.Kyra hasn't smiled or spoken a word since she got back. The only place they could find her was on that cliff where she had lost Samantha. She would sit there for days and no one dared to disturb her.Sage travelled back to Athens to have a funeral for his brother and uncle and that night, Jade took up the courage to go meet Kyra where she was for days.He climbed up the mountain and when he saw her, he stopped and just stared at her. He didn't say a word until later when the sky started to darken."I know you can hear me so I'll just say what I have to say," he said and started, "I know how you feel about losing your friend. I am also in pain but it's nothing compared to yours, I know. Samantha is my sister, but she does mean
