Mildred was done with her first cup of cappuccino at the café but there was no sign of Nicole leaving the luxury high rise residential building, nor were there any signs of Lucas and his brothers leaving the building too. But Mildred was patient. She had learnt to be so with the vampire hybrids. They had proven to be a handful since she met them.
"Hello", Mildred called out to the waitress where she stood behind the counter. The waitress promptly walked up to her to be of help.
"Hi, what else can I help you with?", she asked politely.
"I'll like another cup of cappuccino", Mildred said.
"It seems you are out here relaxing", the waitress said.
Mark and Andrew were out of their bedrooms dressed up and ready to go."Good to see you are still around Nicole", Andrew said, glad to see her. He didn't like that she had to experience the sort of embarrassment Mildred put her through and was glad she stuck around and sorted things out with Lucas."It's good to see you once again Andrew", Nicole said, looking at him with a smile on her face before looking at Lucas."It's good to see you again", Mark said to her."Thank you", Nicole said appreciatively."It's 9:15 AM, we should be on our way now", Lucas said to all of them. He got up from his seat as he helped Nicole do the same.
The taxi slowly trailed Nicole as she walked along the road. She hadn't yet sensed she was being followed as she walked along. She got to a bus stop where she took a bus ride to their house. She was still about 15 minutes away from her house.She got home slightly earlier than she thought she would get home, as she entered her house.Mildred had been in the taxi trailing her from behind all this while as she saw her walk into her house."So this is where she leaves?", she said out loud."Will you like me to drop you off here?", the taxi driver asked."I'll like that but I'll also like for you to wait for me here", she said.
Mildred got into the taxi, where the taxi driver had kept his meter running."Let's go", she said.The taxi driver could see Nicole standing outside of her front door and knew she was fine. As much as he wanted to make extra cash, he didn't want to be part of a murder accessory."Where to?", he asked, looking at her from the rear view mirror."To the northern part of the city", she said, a bit impatiently."Got you", he said, as he drove off in that direction.It was a long drive from where they were but he didn't mind, as long as it would fetch him more money.
Mildred visiting her at her home this morning almost ruined her mood. But she was still happy and thought it best to visit Angela and tell her about her wonderful news.She went back inside her apartment and grabbed her car keys where she usually kept them, in the drawer in her bedroom, before she stepped outside into her muscle car and drove off.Mildred would still be at home by this time at her apartment and she wanted to see her before they went to work later in the morning. She drove for a while before she got to her place.She parked in her driveway as she got out of her car and headed for the front door. She hadn't yet got there when the door opened, as Angela stepped outside. She was very happy to see her.
Charles was already at work when they arrived. He had opened up the shop and had brought out his equipment ready for his clients who had booked an appointment to arrive any time soon."Good morning Charles", Nicole greeted, being the first to walk in."Good morning Nicole", Charles said, happy to see her."Where is my baby girl?", he asked Nicole."She is right behind me", she said. Angela walked in as soon as she finished giving her reply."Good morning baby boy", Angela said, as she overheard his conversation with Nicole."Good morning baby girl", Charles said with a smile, as he walked towards h
"I'll like us to go somewhere different today", Lucas said to Mark and Andrew, as they made their way out to the parking lot of the studio."Where would you like us to go?", Andrew asked Lucas, being the one who drove them to work this morning."I'd like us to go see Nicole at work", Lucas said."She gave me her work address this morning and I'd like to check it out", he said."It's okay, we are all free for the afternoon, so I'll take you there", Andrew said, agreeing with him.They got to their luxury sedan and got in. Just as they sat while coming, that was still the position they took as Andrew drove out of the large land of the studio complex.
Mildred was back home in her territory. She returned in the morning after she paid Nicole a surprise visit at her home to threaten her to stay away from the vampire hybrids.She had managed to keep the facade that she had a wonderful morning visiting Lucas and his brothers at their luxury penthouse apartment, when Alpha White and the other werewolves asked. They were pleased to know that all went well.She didn't want to tell them the truth because this time she had vowed to fight dirty against any vampire or vampires that once again stood in her way of true love and she knew Alpha White would not be in support of her if he ever knew she intended to fight dirty.After she had mingled with the park, she went back to her house to reflect on her next line of
Ambrosia had fled south after the great battle between the vampire hierarchy against the witch, the werewolves and the vampire hybrids. He had kept running until he got into Mexico city, the capital of Mexico. He had not had more than a few seconds to rest since he decided with his wife to run away from the vampire hierarchy and from the vampire hybrid. Both of them spelled doom for him and he didn't plan to stick around to be consumed by it. As he sat down on the hotel couch he and his wife were lodging for the night he could now properly reflect on what had happened over the past few weeks.FLASH BACKHe had first ran home to his lovely mansion where his wife was waiting for him after they lost the battle. It was very clear and evident to him that the vampire hierarchy had fallen in the hands of the witch and vampire hy
When Lucas arrived at Mildred's house, he could hear her quietly sobbing inside the living room. The door was not shut, it was kept half way open. Mildred apparently was expecting Lucas to come after her. Because she was crying Lucas pleaded with Nicole not to come inside with him to not aggravate the situation even more but he allowed her to stay close enough to the door to hear everything that was going to be said. Lucas knocked gently and went in. "Why are you here with her? To further compound my mystery?!", Mildred asked, not too pleased to see him anymore. "I now know the true reason why you are so upset with Nicole. I wished I had figured it out earlier but I didn't. It took me this long to figure it out but I am sorry I made you suffer", Lucas sa
Dracula had been brutalised by Ambrosia as he got of him, which meant Lucas and his brothers had no more pains to inflict on him but they had one little request before they left."Announce that all vampires in your territory be summoned to court. You have a big announcement to make about Ambrosia and Mary. I am sure your face would have healed up well before they arrived", Lucas said.Dracula's hands were figuratively tied, he was powerless against the vampire hybrids and they were reinforcing their supremacy over him. Dracula gave his General Apollo the go ahead to summon the vampire originals. Apollo was now a shadow of his former self as he had lost all his courage seeing how Ambrosia dealt with Dracula mercilessly and he didn't retaliate for fear of the vampire hybrids. Apollo quickly ran and did as he was tol
"Mark please get to Dracula before they get to him", Lucas said calmly looking at Mark. The chaos was soon going to get to him and he didn't want him to leave until he was ready for him to."Consider it done!", Mark said, as he zoomed off in superspeed. Dracula had no chance of escaping him."Andrew, please seal off all the exits out of this place. Nobody goes out or comes in with my consent", Lucas said."I got it covered!", Andrew said, as he zoomed off in supermood and did exactly as he was told until the whole fortress was secured. No vampire was able to leave because of how fast he was at shutting the doors.Mark and Andrew now had everything covered as Lucas, Nicole, Ambrosia and Mary made their way slow
It was dawn the next day and Lucas was ready to make good his promise to Ambrosia and Mary. He also had other things he needed to accomplish. He knew the truth about how Mildred felt about him and needed to make things straight with her. He had done a lot of thinking through the night and his amazing brain and pieced together why things didn't go according to plan for her. As always Lucas was going to be going with his brothers to Dracula's territory and Nicole would come along with him as well.They were all ready and dressed. Lucas and his brothers had worn their black outfits as if they were going vampire hunting and Andrew was with his small backpack where their masks were kept. Nicole equally wore her favourite colour black to match with those of her fiance and his brothers. They all looked attractive and fierce as they stepped out of the apartment with Lucas holding on to
"But does that mean we won't stop hiding from the vampire hierarchy? Dracula doesn't know we are with you", Ambrosia said. He knew he and his wife could not tag along with the vampire hybrids everywhere they were going to. It was practically impossible, so when the vampire hybrids were not with them how will they be safe?"I'll have that taken care of tomorrow. I'll inform Dracula and his vampires that you are now under my protection. You are now my friend, whatever happens to you or Mary he will answer to me", Lucas said.Ambrosia looked surprised at him. Lucas had just spoken as if he knew and had spoken one on one with Dracula."Oh thank you Lucas, thank you so much. I can come with you when you go to meet him to direct you to his lair", he offered.
Lucas learnt all he could about Ambrosia and Mary as they stayed in their apartment and one thing that stood out for him was that he was the bridge connecting all of them together. He was the link between the witch, the werewolves, the vampire and even the humans. He understood all of them perfectly and he could be the key that could change everything.Lucas had never thought about his role in that light before until now. What he learnt from Mildred was that he was at the top of the food chain and others below them didn't really matter so much.Ambrosia had lived a long life and there was a lot he could learn even from a supposed enemy. Nicole was supposed to be his enemy too as a vampire but through her he learnt how to control his urge to feed on vampires and how to rather drink human blood bags.&
It is now past midnight and again Lord Dracula and a few of his generals have convened at the neutral zone between their territories. Mildred once again kept them waiting as she played her mind games."I hope the others are in place?", Dracula asked. With him was Mathias, Kim and Tasha. Apollo, Cleopatra and Jones had all gone into hiding trying to figure out the hiding spot of Mildred."Yes Lord Dracula", Matthias said. All they were waiting for now was for the witch to show up and she did."Good, you could finally make it and join us!", Dracula said excitedly.Mildred smiled at him. She was still in her translucent form. Her physical body was somewhere else and she was communicating from there
"Do you know who she is?", Lucas said, as he bent some inches away from them, so he was at eye level with them and looked into their eyes just in case they planned to lie to him. If they were truly out to harm Nicole they would try to pull a surprise strike on him, seeing only a few inches separating them or they would try to lie directly to his face. Whichever possibility it was Lucas was prepared for them all."No, we don't. We have never seen her before now!", Ambrosia said, scared to even look Lucas in the face. He had the aura of death surrounding him."And what about you?", Lucas turned, facing the female vampire Mary."Please I do not know her!", Mary begged, almost in tears. She was still holding tightly and pulling on Ambrosia's shirt.
Lucas and Nicole were coming back from the apartment after having a nice time together. They had spent their evening in the central park of the city taking in nature and enjoying each other's warm company. It's been barely over 24 hours since Lucas proposed to Nicole and she had accepted his proposal to marry him. They had fixed their wedding for the following weekend, something lovely but private. Just the 2 of them with Mark and Andrew. Nicole would have loved Angela to come with them but she was nowhere to be found.As they walked into the building hand in hand, both of them happy and smiling, Lucas picked up a strong euphoric smell on the first floor. He was already used to the smell of Nicole, this couldn't be her. He let his sense of smell guide him to his targets and when he opened his eyes he saw two couples ahead of them making their way to the elevator.
