Death of Vampires (Book #2 of BTCO) The price of loyalty
Gazzeus and Bryon who were at the border, with few others from Lifeblood Coven, all waited for Kyle and the other men that went with him to return. They knew it would not take lots of time, but the more they were there, the more they started to feel that something must have gone wrong. There was debate on going to find them on their own, but Bryon asked who would stay at the border and watched out for anyone who may want to trespass. After much arguments, Gazzeus finally decided to go and look for Kyle himself and that they should stay back, but Bryon pulled him to the side and told him in a low voice;“You know that Kyle could punish you if he sees you. He didn’t pick you when he was picking the others. You were supposed to stay back at Arkadia.”“I know, but I can’t possibly be the one being left out. Kyle is letting all these get into his head but I can’t leave him because of that. He is still my friend, and I have to make sure he is fine,” Gazzeus said to him. “Also, Klaus is out

Kyra stepped out of her room the next morning and she went outside, to the courtyard. She saw the vampires practicing as she had seen them yesterday and she saw them chatting and laughing. They all stopped what they were doing when they saw her and they stared at her. Kyra saw that they started whispering to each other and she no doubt knew they were talking about her.“Hey you!” one of the boys, a huge one with broad shoulders called her and he looked nothing less than a bully. He motioned with his hand and said, “Come here, let’s have a duel.”Kyra didn’t move from where she was and she saw the boy straightened his back from how he was leaning before walking forward. She saw him walk over to the stone stand, where the real swords are, and he picked one before suddenly throwing it in her direction.If Kyra hadn’t catch it in time, it would have hurt her and she looked at the boy with a frown as he picked his own and turned his body to face her. He practiced his skills on the sword, t

A gentle knock came on Kyra’s door and it slowly creaked open, revealing Samantha who stepped inside and closed it behind her.Kyra looked at her, somehow surprised that she would come see her again after how she had made her feel the last time she was here. She then thought that it could be because she stood up for her when Caleb made her feel intimidated, but even without that, she felt somewhat at peace to see her again.“There was nothing to do because I was exempted and I get bored easily so I decided to come check on you. I hope you understand.”Kyra saw how she picked on her fingers and she didn’t like it. She wanted her to be free around her and be herself, like she was the day before.“Are you alright?” she asked and Kyra noticed that she was looking at the side of her face where Caleb had cut her.“Oh this?” Kyra pointed towards it. “This is nothing. It’s just a scratch,” she said and trailed her fingers over it. “It already healed up. Do you want to sit?”Samantha pulled he

In the upper room, Kyle lay motionless on a slab of cold marble. His once-powerful frame was now pale and lifeless, his chest rising up and falling down in shallow, labored breaths. The black veins that crept up his skin was a reminder of the curse that threatened to take him.At the side was Hannah who was alone with him, muttering spells and mixing potions and there was a black snake that slithered on the ground.Aamon stood on the raised platform, his dark, commanding presence filling the room. The vampires all gathered in the room, none of them raising a word and a hush silence fell in the room."How did this happen?" Aamon's voice cut through the silence like a blade. He wasn't looking at anyone in particular but the weight of his words pressed down on everyone present in the room.Seeing that no one attempted to come forward to say anything, Klaus decided to take that step forward and he bowed his head in deep reverence."Master, we were ambushed by a girl, the one whom they sa

Kyra sat on the edge of the window, staring out into the night. Her eyes wandered around for a while and a sigh escaped her lips. She hasn’t seen Bathilda since she told her she saw Kathryn. She hasn’t seen her even before that.Gazing down, she saw a figure walking and on having a good view, she saw that it was Sage. She wished he’d look up, and almost immediately, he stopped and turned his head upwards. Their eyes met and she could see the concern etched on his face. He must be wondering why she chose to sit at such a dangerous place. But the real danger is when Kyra pushed her body forward, and she started to descend.Kyra’s gaze remained locked on Sage and she saw his face paled, knowing she didn’t have wings to fly or land.Without breaking eye contact, Sage sprinted towards the building, moving swiftly and he took a leap, spreading his wings wide. He caught her in his arms and he flew to the other side before landing to the ground. He set her down and he looked at her with despe

Kyle ran a finger along the mark on his face where Aamon had designed with his silver knife. He knew his coven members would make a mockery of him when they see the scar on his face and he didn’t know how to cover it up. Even if he does, he dares not cover it up when they are all gathered in the room because Aamon would be there. Seeing that he has no other choice than to leave it exposed, he clenched his hands into a fist and vowed in his heart to get back at the one who made him like this, and also at the one who was with her—Sage.Kyle knows that he would be able to get the girl if he gets Sage first, and that is the reason they would be marching to Athens, tonight.*A vampire ran in the corridor and past few guards that stood at each pole and he burst into the inner council, looking alarmed. On getting inside, the Elders stopped talking and they looked at him, their expressions asking the same thing;“What is the matter?”“The whole of Arkadia are marching towards this place,” he

It was the early morning of the next day. Kyra had woken up earlier and had left her room to go find Samantha. She descended the stairs and went to the outer courtyard where she saw her about to prepare for training all by herself.“You’re up early,” she said when she saw Kyra, but then, she senses the uneasiness in her. “What is wrong?”Kyra walked up to her and looked around before returning her eyes to her. “I need you to help me.”Samantha could sense the urgency in her voice and she asked, “With what?”Kyra followed Samantha as she led the way and they rounded a small hill. There were stone ruins everywhere that spread out in the river and she took in the sight of how beautiful it looked under the morning light. Moving her eyes from there, she saw a huge stone ruin about twenty feet high half-submerged in the river and as they made their way towards it, Kyra could see a figure sitting at the top with his back turned. Her legs entered the freezing water and it wet her pants, but t
Last Updated : 2024-09-03Death of Vampires (Book #2 of BTCO) Sage's punishment
Sage entered the halls and went up the narrow and steep staircase, winding and winding with Kyra right behind him. She noticed the urgency in the way he moved, like his family mattered first before anything else. When they were coming in, she saw the others, his people, looking at him differently and staring at her in a strange manner, but Sage didn’t bother sparing any of them a glance or even asking about what had happened. The people were quiet and it was quite eerie.Just when he was about to move in the next long and narrow passage, three guards appeared at the front and he stopped walking. Kyra stood behind him, wanting to be careful. She didn’t think Sage needed her to do anything and her presence seem uncomfortable for him so she was trying her best not to make him upset and regret why he had brought her to his coven. First impression matters, but judging from how she sees his coven members, she didn’t think they regarded Sage as one of them. He was more of like an outcast, so

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
