After that day, little April had always followed the doctor wherever he went, even when he warned her not to follow him, she did not heed to his warnings. She had promised herself that she would follow him until he agree to help her. Although that day, the doctor didn't give her any reply but she hoped that he had changed his mind and that he wouldn't take back his words. And at last, what she had hoped for finally happened. She heard the doctor in charge of her and her mum's conversation. He told her that they had found a heart donor for her and they would schedule a day for her surgery. "Doctor!" She called when she saw him at the garden. He was about to light his cigarette but she didn't mind, she ran to where he was. "I've been looking for you." Little April said as she got to where he was. The doctor sighed as he put the cigarette he was about to light back into the packet. "Don't you ever get tired of following me?" "No." Came April's reply. The doctor let out
Some days later. Little April had not seen the doctor after that day she suddenly fell unconscious. She did not know what happened to her, she was fully awake but then something like a black smoke suddenly surrounded her and before she knew it, she fell asleep and since that day, she had not seen the doctor. Did something happen that day? She kept asking herself but she did not even remember a thing. She hoped the doctor had not gone hiding, tomorrow was the day scheduled for her surgery and she heard he would be the one to perform the surgery. Truthfully, when her mother had informed her that he would be the one to perform her surgery, she was really happy and she didn't feel scared anymore because she knew she would be safe with him there. She really could not understand that mysterious man, one second he was acting as though he hated her more than anything and that he would never help her and the next second, he was helping her. He was like a puzzle that was difficult to under
April could not believe what she had just remembered, the demon.... the demon was the mysterious doctor who had saved her. He was the doctor that found a heart donor for her and saved her. However, April could not understand why he did that, why did he save someone he was hellbent in killing? She could not help but wonder why she never remembered any of those memories, those memories of him saving her, those memories of searching for him, why did she forget them all? Why were those memories suddenly coming back to her? And those words he had said to her, he had warned her to run away from him, he had already told her that he would come back to kill her. The more she thought about it, the more confused she got. The demon.... she could never understand him. He told her to run away when he knew she could never run away from him. She believed there was a reason, a reason why he didn't kill her fifteen years ago and the reason why he still had not killed her yet. What was that reason?
April could not comprehend the words the demon had just spoken. There were many people after her life? There were many other vampires and witches coming to kill her? Why? Because she was an evil witch? The one who tried to kill her the first time was not the demon? "Was that why you brought me here? You brought me here to protect me from those people after my life, right?" She could not help but think that way. If what she had just said was true then, could it be the demon was protecting her all these while? No, that did not make any sense. He had just said he also wanted her dead, he was probably protecting her from those people because of what he wanted from her. He had threatened her to remember her hidden memories of her past but she still could not believe she was an evil witch in her past life. Damon scoffed at her question but he did not give a reply. "I am going to prove it to you that i am not the evil witch, Margaux." April said firmly as though she was so sure that she
As she walked towards where the demon was, she noticed a chopper beside him. Were they going to board the chopper? The moment she got to where he was standing, he handed over a cloak to her. "Wear this." He said. And without wasting a moment longer, he led her to the chopper and they both boarded into the aircraft. But, April found it weird as it was just the two of them in there, was he going to fly the chopper? He gestured for her to sit, April could only obey his instructions, knowing what he was about to do. He was going to personally pilot the chopper with her seated next to him. April watched him as he began to pilot the aircraft and within few minutes, they were already flying, up in the sky. As she watched him, she could not help but wonder how many things he was good at. He was a Doctor and probably once a pilot for him to know how to pilot the helicopter so well. She guessed it was probably because he had lived for a long time so he probably knew how to do many things
Hours passed and April finally opened her eyes. She had fallen asleep while trying to calm herself down not to worry about what was going to happen to her at Grey city. She looked at Damon when she noticed he had stopped piloting the chopper. Were they already at Grey city? "You're finally awake." He said when he noticed that she had woken up from her sleep. "You should have woken me up." April unfastened her seat belt and got down from the chopper. It was still midnight but there were street lamps everywhere that April wondered if they had really gotten to their destination. She had imagined Grey city to look somewhat dark, creepy and unpleasant for human habitation since it was where the vampires reside but where she was standing looked like a large parking area. As she turned to question Damon if they had really gotten to Grey city, she sighted a middle aged man approaching them and when he got closer to where they were standing, he bowed at Damon who had already gotten
April opened her eyes only to find herself in what looked like an underground prison, which looked almost the same as the dungeon she was once chained in by the demon. Why was she here? Not long ago, she was in the room trying her best to fall asleep and now she was suddenly in here. She noticed she was not chained like last time, did the demon bring her here? Or, could this be another strange dream? Was she in her dream? Was this still part of the strange dreams she had been having? But the other dreams she had were about her childhood, this dream felt eerie, even merely looking at the place gave her the creeps. So many questions flooded her mind as she looked around the dungeon. Could there be a reason why she was brought here? She kept questioning herself yet she could not even find an answer. "Is anyone here?" She called for help but her voice only echoed back to her which meant this place was empty and probably abandoned for long. As she walked through the passageway of th
It was morning already, Pam and Sam came out from their different rooms. They had arrived Grey city last night but to their surprise, Uncle Damon and April weren't even at the palace and the vampire princes seemed to have known where he was but they refused to say anything to them. They both sighed as they walked to the dining room, the King had invited them to have breakfast with him. As they entered the dining room, they saw the two vampire princes, the princess and the King at the dining table. They bowed at them and soon joined them. The palace maids began serving different delicacies on the table that Sam was already beginning to feel hungry just looking at the food in front of him. He was sure this meals were prepared for both him and his Sis as they couldn't drink blood like the other vampires. "It's really amazing how kids grow so fast, the last time the both of you were in Grey city, you were this little." The King began to speak as soon as he saw the twins describ
[At Grey Forest ] Dana alongside Lemuel arrived the morgue to see the bodies that was found last night. The guards watching over the morgue bowed the moment they saw their Queen. They pushed the door open for her to enter. And as they entered the morgue, they met Penny the morgue-keeper. Her family had been watching over the morgue for ages, it was Penny's time to take over her family's job. She might look young but she knew things that even the elders doesn't, she had always been the smart one. Dana and Penny used to be friends while growing up, little Penny would always brag about how she would one day be the next morgue-keeper and her little self would be envious of her, that was before she was chosen to be the next Queen. After the oracle had chosen her to be the next Queen, they had a fall out and were no longer close like they used to, including Daisy who still accused her of stealing her dreams. Now that she thought about it, she wondered where Daisy is. Penny bowed at them a
Upon seeing April's bewildered expression, Margaux bursted into a convulsive, loud laughter. "What's with that look on your face?" She asked, her voice carrying a hint of mockery. "I thought by now, you should have known that i am you, and you are me." She added with a crook and insolent smile. April shook her head as she refused to believe the words Margaux had just said to her. "No. That can't be true." There was no way she was Margaux, there was... She strongly shook her head, no, she won't let those words get to her head. "I can never be you!" She said as she pushed Margaux away from her. With that, April woke up with a loud gasp as she almost choked out a breath. What sort of dream was that? She sat up and sighed as she moved the strand of her hair to the back of her ear thinking about the words Margaux said to her. "I am you, and you are me." She repeated those words as she sighed again. "This is so frustrating, why am i Margaux?" She shook her head as she stil
April found herself at Happy town, she looked around wondering how she got here. 'Is this a dream?' She asked herself as she could still vividly remember this place, where she was standing, it all happened here. She could see both adults and children hiding at the corner with their weapons, ready to attack anything that comes their way or maybe anyone. April knew what happened here, these people were going to get killed by her, the evil witch. What she saw at that black pot was repeating itself again in her dream, why? "The evil witch is here, run away!" They heard the shout of a man who was soon killed by Margaux. The little ones quivered at the sight of the evil witch while the adults drew out their weapons, ready to protect their loved ones from the infamous witch. Margaux approached them, deliberately dragging her sword and chanting some spells. She was ready to kill anyone that came her way, both adults and children. The adults bravely came out from thei
It had been so long since she last kissed him, it had been so long since she felt him this close to her. His kiss... his mouth, they taste so mindblowingly good. Lord, she missed him so much, she missed his scent, she missed his touch, his kiss, she missed everything about him. Connor gently nibbled on her bottom lip then hungrily glinded his tongue inside her mouth like a starved beast. His movements were savage, wild and consuming as though he was aiming to devour her whole, as though taking her breath was not enough. It was as if that earnest, deep and passionate desires he had for her had just been unleashed. He had longed for her, yearned for her and desperately wanted her back to him. Day by day, those feelings of longing consumed him, it was as if a part of him was missing, as if a part of him was incomplete but now, she was back to him. How badly he had missed her. Their kiss deepened and a shocking hunger exploded from within as Dana kissed him back as hard as she
[ At Grey Forest ] Dana stood beside the window side of her chamber blankly staring at the moon shimmering bright and giving beauty to the night. She could not even fall asleep knowing that the day to choose her spouse was coming, the full moon which was two days from now. She had tried to delay it but the elders kept insisting and it worried her people that she had no spouse at her age as it was their belief that a Queen ought to have a spouse whom she can rely on. If she tried to delay it again, her people might get wary of her and that was the last thing Dana ever wanted to happen. She had to prove to them that she was capable of ruling them and as a leader, she had to obey the customs and traditions. Dana sighed as there was nothing she could do to avoid the marriage. In two days time, a competition will be held among the young witches in Grey forest and the winner will be chosen as her spouse. The elders had already picked the candidates they think are eligible t
The thought that she might really be the one who hurt Damon and killed those people frightened her, they frightened her to her bones that she could never bring herself to accept his claim that she was the evil Margaux. Deep down, she wished she could just prove to him that she was different from the Margaux he knew in the past, she was different from the lady who caused him pain, she was different from the witch who committed many evil deeds. She also wished he would see her differently, not as the evil witch's reincarnation but as herself, as April Greene but would that ever happen? "What are you staring at?" Damon spoke in his usual unfriendly manner as he let go of her hand. "Let's go." He turned and left. April took a glance at the room one last time before she followed the demon and as she got to the living room, she heard him speak. "Don't look at the walls." "Why?" She inquired as she tried her best not to look at the walls like he said. "You could e
The twinkling stars and the dazzling full moon gave beauty to the dark sky. The cold wind blew like it was quarrelling with earth and the snow fell like rainfall but the moment the snow reached the ground, it turned scarlet as the land had turned into a pool of blood overlaid with dead bodies. On that beautiful night was heard clashing of swords and cries of anguish as more lifeless bodies fall to the ground, killed with no mercy. It was as though death had visited the normally peaceful town, and the oh-so beautiful night had become an unpleasantly horrific sight. At the center of these lifeless bodies, stood a young lady wearing a black cloak. The tip of her long black cloak was soaked with blood as she aggressively pulled out her sword from the last person she had just killed. It was evident that those dead bodies were single-handedly killed by her. The cold wind blew away her hoodie revealing her red curly hair. She slowly turned her head and with the look in her eyes, it was
The reason. . . . The reason why Margaux committed those evil deeds was to take revenge on those who killed her father, however, April could not understand why she had to destroy this town. According to Damon, this town was the only town who accepted her when she was rejected by her own people so why then did she destroy the town? Was that how much she had resented Damon? "Scared?" Damon questioned upon seeing that she had not moved an inch from where she was standing and how she looked lost in thoughts. Distracted from her thoughts, April slightly shook her head. "No." She answered as she looked at her hands which were still slightly trembling. Damon walked towards the entrance of the hut, he turned and looked at April, gesturing for her to come. She obediently came closer to where he was but the moment the demon opened the door and stepped into the hut, April involuntarily retracted. She did not even know how it happened but her body subconsciously stepped back and h
Damon turned and looked at her but his gaze shifted to her trembling hands, he could see how anxious and scared she was. "We are at your home." He replied, his gaze still fixed on her trembling hands. "M..m..my home?" "Yes, your home." Came his reply as he moved his gaze to her dumbstrucked face. "This was where you lived three hundred years ago, Margaux." April let out a low sigh as she hid her trembling hands from him. Now she understood why the demon had brought her here, he had brought her to where Margaux lived three hundred years ago so she could regain those said hidden memories of the past. She let out another sigh realising that she was probably scared for nothing, she was so sure she was not Margaux so there was no reason for her to feel this way, there was no reason for her to feel scared or guilty when she had not done anything wrong but her hands would not stop trembling no matter how hard she had tried to calm herself, she cussed inaudibly as she clenched her
