A boy walked up to the table where Kyra and Samantha were and placed two bowls of meal before turning his head to look at Kyra.

With a smile, he said, “Hi, I know that we haven’t gotten to know each other quite well but I’m Oliver.”

“Oliver,” Kyra repeated and gave a small smile. “Nice to meet you. I’m Kyra.”

“Oh, we know,” he said in a whisper and added, “the fierce one.”

Kyra didn’t know if it was a good or bad compliment but he made it sound funny that she didn’t think there was any other meaning behind it.

“And Sam,” he looked at Samantha who raised her brows a bit. “I see you’ve made friends already. Care to add me to the group?”

“No,” Samantha gave a straight answer and Kyra looked at her. “I’ll prefer not to,” she said and gave a fake smile.

Oliver returned the fake smile and left their table and after he was gone, Kyra asked Samantha;

“Why did you say no?”

“A lot of them will be trying to make friends with you now, but don’t be easily swayed by their sweetness. They want to ge

    Kyra snapped out of it and when she saw that she was close to Aiden, she stepped back and looked at him properly where she now saw the surprised expression on his face.Not understanding why he was looking at her that way, she said what she had wanted to. "I came here to tell you to leave my friends out of this. I know you were the one who used Jade to provoke me and you didn't care if I hurt him. Leave them out of this," she said sternly."Unbelievable!" Hazel said and left where she was to now come closer to Kyra. "Was that another person?""Her mother's sister," Aiden said. "Kathryn.""What about her?" Kyra asked."She just spoke right through you," Aiden said.Kyra pulled her brows and asked, "And what did she say?"Aiden took a step forward and looked at her with slightly pulled brows, but with his usual composure. "You need the training as soon as you are ready.""Why should I train now and get sacrificed later? You can just kill me right here right now.""I didn't bring you her

The two Elders who were in the middle of a discussion, stopped to look at the guard who made his way to the front.The guard bow his head and raised it back up where he said, "The leader of Silver Crest Coven has gathered the people together."Elder Samuel raised a brow and said, "Without going through us?""What is the reason for the gathering?" Elder Kane asked the guard."I think he is trying to raise an opposition.""Simon is planning on going against us?" Elder Samuel asked.Elder Kane let out a soft sigh and said to the guard, his brows raising as he spoke. "Attend the gathering and come back to report what he says."The guard gave another bow and left the room immediately."Is Simon out of his senses? Did he forget already that we are the very ones who gave him that position?""His mother and sister were murdered by Aamon's men after he did what we asked. It's only right for

    Kyra woke up to the loud knocks that came on her door and she rolled on her side before moving her eyes to realize she was in her room. She sat up and rubbed her eyes clear of sleep and she wondered if she was the one who came back to her room. All she knew was that she must have slept off while talking to Jade back at the mountain. Did he carry her to her room?She felt embarrassed immediately and that was when another knock came on the door. She stood from the bed and went to open the door.“Samantha?” she said when she saw who was at the door. “Why are you here early?”“Did you have a great sleep?” Samantha asked first before saying, “Your training. It’s today.”“Today?” Kyra repeated and Samantha nodded. She looks more excited than the one who the training is meant for.“Aiden has called for you. And get used to it already. Training starts very early.”Kyra got ready and as she walked in the hallway, she could not help but think about what made Aiden changed his mind. She didn’t t

    The moment Kyra opened her eyes, she saw her mother and her eyes raised in surprise.“Mother?” she called and stood from where she sat. The candles she saw earlier were the ones who lit up in the darkness.Kyra walked to the front, where her mother is and just as she took another step, the whole room changed. It was the family house where her mother lived with Kathryn and their mother. She saw her mother sitting by a desk and staring into nothing in particular but deep in thoughts. Kyra saw the movement of her hands on her stomach as she muttered the name “Kyra’ several times. It was the name she chose even before she gave birth to her.“Mother,” she called her again, but Caitlin didn’t hear her, or even saw her. It was as if she was a ghost in the room and Kyra wanted her to at least notice her, but Caitlin was already lost in her own thoughts to even sense that someone was in the room.Kyra moved closer to her and that was when her eyes fell on the black book that was on the desk.C

    “Open it!” Simon ordered the guards at the front of Donovan’s cell to open the doors and the two hefty men were defiant at his words.“The council ordered us not to let anyone in,” one of them said.Simon scoffed and asked, “Who do you belong to? The coven, or the Elders?”The two men looked at him, and though they knew the answer to that, they didn’t admit it.“I see that you already decided then,” Simon said to them and just as he finished saying that, the men he had brought along, stepped forward and killed the two men instantly.The chains to the door was yanked off and Simon saw the door open. The men stepped aside and he went into the cell that smells of rust metal.Donovan who listened to what was going on outside and the sound of footsteps approaching, lifted up his head to see Simon walking in towards him. Simon saw how they chained him up, not giving him the opportunity to escape if he wanted to and he said to him;“The two Elders don’t treat you equal with themselves, but t

    It was exactly one week since Kyra ended her training and she stayed in her room all through the day. She wanted to be alone, away from all that was happening. Back in her subconsciousness, she tried every time to save her mother, but it was always the same thing all over again. Either she kills her mother, or the evil vampires hunt them down and kill them altogether. It was like writing a different story of how it had happened that it didn’t feel real anymore. Both Aiden and Bathilda had worried about her and tried to stop her from going again, but she didn’t listen to them, even when it got worse that she started to bleed from her nose and collapse, but every time, she always find her way back with the help of Kathryn’s necklace. It made her believe that her mother’s sister could still be alive somehow, or maybe her spirit wasn’t dead just yet.Kyra remembers Aiden words the last time she went again;“You have failed the training.”And though she sat there, crying, it was not becaus

    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

  • 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

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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

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

    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,

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
