The wind picked up under Teya’s feet and soft whispers of Syfa were guiding her way down the maze trail to freedom, back to her lover. It was saddening that Sia was set on pleasing these people that exiled her mother. Something Teya wouldn’t be able to understand or relate too. These witches weren’t her family. No one there knew anything about her.
Once she finally admitted to herself though, she was one of them, it became easier to accept in her heart and it seemed the medallion opened up more to her, showing her incredible things that she could do. The medallion led the way as she ran from the past to the present touching the shrubs to guide her way. The exit was on the other end of the field. Freedom so close she could taste it. Before she could reach her hand out Dean blocked the way with Sia beside him.
He tsked while shaking his head. “See Miss Daniels how special you are. How did you find out about the emergency exit d
Chapter 1“Lana, run!” The man screamed back to the woman holding the baby, who had stopped to catch her breath by a tree. He went back to check on her.“Kenneth, you must carry Ken. I can’t go on any longer,” she said, holding her chest with one hand, trying to get her lungs to catch up. Kenneth growled. “No! I won’t leave you. I love you, Lana. Our baby will make it. I will protect you both. I promised, didn’t I? You have to continue.”He kissed Lana on her forehead and placed his forehead against hers lovingly. He looked down at the baby; the new revolution of the vampire species. Vampires were not welcomed in these times, not even a half-breed like the child. Most people considered them a threat, and with the rebellion raging, Kenneth had to go on the run to protect the love of his life and their baby.“We must get the baby to Rosa and Allen. They will carry him south as planned, and we wil
Chapter 2Teya woke in a fright. Was everything she witnessed just a bad dream? She couldn’t stop the pounding in her head or the fast rhythm of her heart. She looked around noticing she was not at the frat house or in her apartment. She then saw the blonde from last night sitting next to the window as if soaking up the afternoon sun. Teya wanted to scream, but she knew screaming would be pointless. She tried to remain calm.“Are you keeping me here for the others to come get me?” she asked, her voice cracking. Only his eyes looked at her as he responded; his head continued to face the window.“I would’ve killed you last night if that were the case. You fainted,” he replied. Teya held her head.“What are you?” she asked. Ken smirked.“I can tell you are afraid. You saw them last night, didn’t you? Monsters, that’s what they are. Vampires,” he replied. Teya looked confus
Chapter 3As the night dragged on, with Ken dreading going back to the hell-house, he decided to take a long swim in a nearby river. A much-needed swim, considering his hard-on hadn’t faded since Teya’s scent had filled his nose. It was a great reminder for him, but would be terrible when around Allen. He soaked for a while, looking up at the night sky full of bright stars. Could it be possible for him to have a normal life? He pondered these thoughts more and more now, wanting the taste of freedom so badly. He had to think of something.After about an hour of planning, he dried off from his cold swim and headed to confront Allen. The house was as dark as always, filling Ken’s heart with dread. Allen sat in his old-style living room, drinking as if he were celebrating. Ken’s jaw twitched with anger.“Welcome back, Ken Baby,” Salina slurred, joining in Allen’s dark celebration, and throwing herself at Ken. It seemed she
Chapter 4Three months laterTeya sat on her bed, tapping away at her laptop and thinking of the man she’d spent the past three months with. He sat across from her, watching her work in silence. He’d kept all of his promises. He went back to her after he’d left the hell-house. And most importantly, the affection had never stopped. He tried to find new ways to show he cared for her each day.It was a bit unreal for Teya. He was way too perfect. It was winter now, so Ken bought a car to drive her to and from work, as well as other places around town. How he could afford it, she didn’t know. She’d asked him several times about it, but he would only kiss her and promise to explain someday.As for Ken’s daily tasks, he continued to seek the vampire hunters, gathering as much information as he could. At night, right before dawn, he would report his findings to Allen and come back to Teya. He would kiss her like she wa
Chapter 5Seventeen Years EarlierKen ran through the dark streets. Even at his young age, he already had the eyes of a man who’d seen too much. He was hoping to find someone who could help him get away from this madman. All he wanted was ice cream, but that was a mistake he knew he couldn’t afford to make again. His face was already bloody from one too many hits. He ran into the store and immediately headed for the freezer aisle. He was opening a jug of water when the store clerk caught him and began yelling. Thankfully, an older couple saw the poor kid being screamed at by the store clerk.“Hey, I’ll pay for whatever he takes. Just leave the kid alone,” the older man yelled back at the store clerk. The older woman walked closer to Ken.“Oh my gosh! Harold, he’s hurt! We have to take him to a hospital!” she screamed. Ken turned around, his eyes widening
Chapter 6“Thank God you’re alright,” Markees said, wrapping his arms around her as soon as she opened the door. Startled, she just patted his back, comforting him.“Why I wouldn’t I be?” she asked, confused.“I heard you were in the hospital,” Markees said, releasing her to inspect her neck for bite marks. “Was it that boyfriend with the blonde hair? He’s dangerous Teya. You can tell me if he—”“He didn’t,” she blurted out angrily, jerking away from him. “He wouldn’t do anything to hurt me.” Markees sighed, relieved.“How’d you know I was in the hospital?” she asked. Markees ran a shaky hand through his hair.“We’ve been watching you, of course. Ross and I,” he told her. Teya firmly tightened her lips. “It popped up in the database that someone had attacked you. I thought it was
Chapter 7Ken allowed the hot, steaming water to caress his body and soothe his soul, as he thought about the events of the past, and those to come. He knew he couldn’t trust Allen. He slammed the wall, but tried to refrain from breaking it. Teya was in even more danger now, but luckily, no full-blooded vampires could take him. Except Allen, he thought, growling. He had to be stopped somehow. Ken just knew that something wasn’t right, that something was off.Teya woke up searching for Ken. She looked around the bedroom, only to find him standing by the balcony door, watching the sunrise.“Hey, you,” she said, clearing her throat. She noticed Ken sway as he began to walk towards her. He was only able to accomplish three steps before his knees collapsed, sending him falling to the floor. Teya rushed out of the bed to help him.“Ken! What’s wrong?” she cried, panicked. He closed his eyes with frustra
Chapter 8Ken waited patiently as Teya showered, contemplating the events that had transpired. The vampire hunters, Allen, his past, and how they were all connected. Markees had investigated his house on a hunch that he was a vampire, but he’d still seen Ken in daylight. That didn’t make sense. They couldn’t have associated him with the vampires.Hell, he didn’t even want to be associated with them. He mostly hated vampires, so what could’ve possessed the man to send hunters to his house? Was Markees’s small detector buzzing worth the home invasion? What the hell were they looking for? Nothing made sense. Nothing was adding up.The shower stopped running, causing Ken to become alert. He sat up on the bed, anxious for her to walk out. He could smell her already. The vanilla soap she used invaded his nose. He was holding his breath without even realizing it. She opened the door to reveal her sexy lingerie: a see-through nightg
Chapter 15The wind picked up under Teya’s feet and soft whispers of Syfa were guiding her way down the maze trail to freedom, back to her lover. It was saddening that Sia was set on pleasing these people that exiled her mother. Something Teya wouldn’t be able to understand or relate too. These witches weren’t her family.

Chapter 14A soft chant covered Teya’s ears as she woke, not sure how she fell asleep or when. All she remembered was being in the car with Dean and Sia feeling hurt by her betrayal. The car ride must’ve been extensive and the mere ride alone including the anxiety must’ve knocked her out. Her body felt warm though under the chanting and it was surprisingly soothing. There was something on her stomach, warm liquid and maybe something crunchy as she struggled to open her eyes.“The baby will be healthy and ready for us, Enchantress. She has returned.” An older woman said in what seemed like a whisper in Teya’s ear. She struggled to open her eyes, but seemed paralyzed under the chanting.“Tell me Dean since you found her how did this come to happen? A vampire and a witch mating is unheard of amongst us. How is it this child has come to be?” Now a more majestic like being spoke and Teya could feel the power flow from
Chapter 13A roar of impatience shook Ken’s home as he screamed out a primitive growl as he, Kenneth, and Emil waited in the living room for their return. Regret reared it’s ugly head as Ken already had a bad feeling about the whole thing. In his gut he knew something was going to happen at the club because Mekhi wasn’t an idiot.“They will be back soon I’m sure Sia…” Emil spoke but was caught off by Ken grabbing his collar and lifting him off the ground.“It has been two hours now, Emil. Fucking two hours. They have either been captured by Mekhi or possibly dead. Something went wrong. It was the prick Dean. I knew we couldn’t trust him.” Ken knocked over the coffee table in his rage as he released Emil.“Dean is a witch and they for all tense and purposes look out for their own. If Teya is truly one of them she is safe.” Kenneth explained, arms folded wanting to give them the good
Chapter 12Once the plan was made and the date was set they all disbanded to get some sleep. Ken refusing to leave Teya in bed alone now under the dark black comfort holding her close. Of course he wanted to hold her to him, but she already voiced she didn’t want to be left out of anything involving the women. His mind was racing enough as it was believing her to be a witch and this breeder as they called it. When did they’re world become so complex?“Ken?” Her soft voice caused Ken to snap out of his thoughts and pay attention to her. “Our child…she needs to have both parents around. Not like we did. I use to wonder about my mother and father every day when I was little. I use to cry to my grandmother asking why I didn’t have parents like my schoolmates at least one of them. I don’t want that for our child. No matter about this mystical bullshit.” She paused trying to contain her emotions. “No matter what
Chapter 11Teya’s eyes were puffy and swollen and she knew without looking into the mirror she looked horrible. She felt horrible. Her stomach hurt, but she showered and watched her hair like a champ no matter if her legs felt like giving way. It was apparent she was weak and needed to eat something. Eating for two people now she knew she couldn’t afford to miss any meals.As careful as possible she walked down the stairs holding the railing and her stomach on the way. As she got to the last stair the doorbell rang. Her head snapped up in fear, but then realization kicked in. If it was a killer they wouldn’t ring the doorbell, but who could be at the door this early?Her feet slid across the floor trying to get her legs to obey her command, but they wouldn’t. She peeked out the door hole to see Sia and another person to tall for her to see the face. She opened cautiously.“Morning.”Teya’s eyes widen. &ld
Chapter 10 Kenneth’s eyes widen then as well shocked donned on both of their faces. “Your son survived?” Ken took a step forwards as more betrayal and lies filtered his mind. What was really real? Ken had heard her mention being pregnant once before which made sense as to why she clung so tightly to him, but the story went that Allen killed the baby before she could even conceive by turning her. Atleast that’s what was assumed since Allen always said how dead he was. The Allen offspring stepped closer to Ken then, a bit older than him and a bit broader. Ken stared deadly into his eyes feeling a scary sense of excitement that he would get the chance to kill Allen twice. The resemblance was uncanny. Allen’s dark piercing cold gaze must
Chapter 9 Teya, Emil, and Sia took a sigh of relief as they escaped Salina and Rosa’s grasp. Teya sitting down on the couch holding her stomach afraid for the baby in her current state. Her heart beat too fast and her pulse was accelerated. Emil placed a hand on her shoulders to try and comfort her. “This is your home, Teya?” he asked, sitting on the coffee table in front of her making causal conversation to help calm her. She could only nod. Emil and Sia both looked at each other with a glance. Sia sat beside him on the table, placing a hand on her leg. “Teya,” She spoke sweetly. “You need to calm down.” But she couldn’t. Neither one of them
Chapter 8 “I think I speak for everyone when I say the shit is getting all kinds of mystical and fucked.” Markees said as he paced the living room of the Santanna house. “Teya’s medallion glowed this bright light like what the fuck is that about. How did you even do that?”All eyes were on Teya now as she just shrugged and held the medallion in her hand just as confused as Markees. It was becoming a habit that now all they seemed to do was fuss at each other as Ken sat at the table looking in one direction trying to piece the puzzle together in his mind as well. He lost control something he pride himself on having the most of.Kenneth had joined them and they informed him what was going on. “It’s possible, Ken, that you gave in fully to your vampire nature once you thought Teya was in danger or possibly once you assumed in your mind you couldn’t b
Chapter 7Ken walked into his home with confusion and in need of multiple drinks. His heart dropped when he walked into the house with no Teya. After a quick look around the house Ken walked into the kitchen to see Markees sitting at his table.“Relax she is still at work.” Markees said with a huge glass of alcohol.He was going through it for sure. Ken’s face contorted as anger took over.“What?” Markees held his hands up. “I tried to talk some sense into her, but she won’t listen.” Ken believed him.He knew his stubborn woman. He grabbed a glass and poured him some alcohol. “I’m sorry about the men you lost last night. It’s never easy losing people you were meant to look after. Especially after the Club 89 scene. Can’t say I didn’t play my part in that.”Markees scoffed, holding his forehead. “Please don’t remind me about that. Ross you to say
