Nicole had enjoyed a pleasant night with Lucas and his brothers. They had all had fun together in the apartment, talking, joking and playing video games together. She had spent the night at Lucas place, as he held and kissed her severally throughout the night.
When dawn arrived, Nicole woke up later than expected. Lucas allowed her to sleep to her heart's content. He enjoyed watching her sleep, she looked so beautiful.
The time was now 9 AM and Lucas was now ready to leave for work with his brothers and so was Nicole. She had gotten dressed and had joined them in the living room to leave.
"I'm all set to go", Nicole said happily, as she walked out of Lucas bedroom.
"You look so beautiful!", Lucas said, a
1 Nicole was in a state of confusion, as she was thrown into the car boot. She had no idea what was happening and why she was being kidnapped. She had no idea who the kidnappers were, she was just scared! The ride to wherever they were taking her wasn't the smoothest, as they drove really fast and braked really hard most times, tossing her from side to side inside the boot and making her hit her head against the boot several times. Now it appears they had stopped finally, as the engine sound was cut off. Nicole could hear their doors open and close and several steps walking towards the closed boot. She wished there was a way she could contact Lucas to come save her but unfortunately all her options had been taken away from her. Now she was totally helpless. The
Her relationship with the vampire hybrids had been discovered. She was totally surprised and caught unawares."How did they figure out about Lucas?", she thought to herself, as she looked at Lord Dracula from where he sat. She knew she had to give him a reply soon, unless his anger will flare up again."It was by accident, it was fate", she said to him. This time around she tried to regain her composure."I barely survived the first encounter but he saw something in me and spared my life", she said.Lord Dracula was stunned by what she said. It was shocking and made no sense.He gave a menacing laugh.
Charles and Angela were both not themselves as they stayed together at Charles' apartment. They had decided not to show up for work today because they would have been so distracted by their thoughts of Nicole that they would have made several mistakes in the tattoo art of their customers. All they could do now was just take the day off work and try to manage the situation as best as they could.Angela remembered what Charles told them to do before they left Nicole's apartment. They were to clean and keep the apartment clean, especially of their scent. They knew the vampire hybrids would come looking for Nicole eventually, probably in 10 hours time and they would have a hard time convincing them if their scent could still be actively picked up in Nicole's apartment. So they cleaned the whole apartment and made sure they left no trace of them behind.
Lucas drove as quickly as he could through the busy night roads of the city until he arrived at the residence building. He parked his car along the road as he got out still angry as he made his way into the high rise luxury building.He got out on his floor after entering the elevator on the first floor and exiting on the 50th floor. He opened the front door of his apartment where he saw his brothers playing video games in the living room."Lucas, you are back so early. We weren't expecting you", Mark said, surprised to see him, but he was still playing his video games."What happened?", he asked, as he looked at Lucas properly. He could see Lucas' facial expression that he was angry."You
Katharine, Vladimir and Talon had cleared the entire territory of the Lord Dracula of all vampires. They had done so discreetly, leaving swiftly and in little numbers not to draw any suspicion in case the werewolf scouts were watching.Katharine, Vladimir and Talon had also left themselves, being amongst the last set of vampires to leave with their female prisoner Nicole, who was bound.They had gotten into less official cars and worn casual clothes like everyone else not to stand out but to blend in with the rest. It was mid afternoon time and they were heading for the home of Charles. They had to pick them up to a more secure location and question them.They drove for about an hour before they stopped in front of Charles' apartment. Katharine and Vladimir cam
"Wait, what?!", Charles and Angela exclaimed. They were both in shock."You both are smart, I thought you would have figured it out by now", Katharine said."So Lucas and his brothers are the murderers of Sir Paul!", Charles thought to himself."How could we, they smelt human!", Angela said in disbelief."Yes, that is because of the dark sorcery from which they were made", Katharine said."They can take any form; the vampire hybrids. They smell like humans because the witch made them from humans and not vampires", she revealed."I am curious, why didn't they attack us severally if they are va
Lucas laughed menacingly, imitating Dracula's laughter. Dracula felt awkward as he hung in the air with his legs dangling. He smiled at Lucas trying to act calm. He had yet to see his face as wore his mask but he could see the colour of his eyes that they were blue, but they looked very angry."So you find it funny? You dare play games with me?!", Lucas said, as he tossed him hard away in anger.Lord Dracula flew across the court as he slammed his back against his throne, destroying it completely. It was a throne he had sat on for millennia since he became Lord Dracula. His back was badly hurt as he cried in pain.Lucas zoomed quickly to where he was as he picked him from the floor, lifting him up. Dracula was bleeding from parts of his nose a
"I'll do whatever I wish to Mildred, including letting her go unharmed", Lucas said."Don't you ever imagine you can suggest or tell me what to do!", he said slowly, so that every word he uttered to Dracula would sink in."My only interest now is Nicole, give her to me!", he instructed, staring down at Dracula. They were inches away from each other, as Dracula looked up at him."Well you cannot make me give her to you, you cannot tell me what to do either!", Dracula said stubbornly, standing his ground. He knew he had Lucas by the balls and he was ready to keep squeezing until he gave into his demands."So be it Dracula! Do you feel pain?", Lucas asked with a smile. He was raging inside but he had to c
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.
