Nicole laid down her head to sleep as Angela joined her too. She closed her eyes waiting for the sleep to arrive as she tried not to worry what will become of Lucas and her in the morning.
"Sorry, I just remembered I forgot to lock the front door", Angela said. She only shut it when they got in but didn't bolt it from the inside or lock it with her spare key.
"Let me go and lock it quickly", she said, as she attempted to get off the bed.
"No", Nicole said, as she held onto her by her arm, preventing her from getting off the bed.
Angela was surprised she was quick to stop her from locking her front door.
"Please leave it unlocked", she pleaded.
But sadly he never came."My words must have cut him so deeply", she said, coming to that realization."I didn't really mean it, I was just spurred by a sense of loyalty to my friends and my kind", she said.She knew Lucas was not a monster even though he had done terrible things. He could have killed her in the early hours of today easily if he truly was. But he didn't."If only I had heard him out, if only I had given him a chance to explain, I am sure we would have resolved this", she admitted to herself sadly.She sat there in the living room feeling helpless but she didn't stay alone for too long before Angela woke up and foun
Katharine and Vladimir had set off to accomplish the task given to them by Dracula. They had been assigned to look for a way to call a truce between the vampires and the werewolves. They knew they had been the one to break the relative period of peace between them by attacking the werewolves at their home territory. They knew it was just a matter of time before the werewolves would be seeking for their blood and their revenge. But for now there was peace, the peace of a graveyard, the peace before the storm."How do you plan on achieving this?", Katharine asked Vladimir as they walked along the partially lit road by night. They were headed for an exclusive club where they could relax and get some human blood bags."I wished Cobra or Silas were still alive, this was the sort of thing they enjoyed brainstorming about", Vladimir said. H
Vladimir was the first to go for the bottle of human blood as he easily opened it with his superhuman strength and poured it into his wine cup until it filled to the brim.He also poured some human blood into Katharine's wine cup until it was filled up."Let's say a toast", he said to Katharine, as he dropped the now almost empty bottle."To what exactly", she asked, unsure if they had a worthy event to celebrate."To life!", he said."We are still alive, while a lot of our friends are dead, so we should toast to life!", he said, raising up his glass of blood."Fair enough", Kat
Vladimir seemed surprised."12 human blood bags by one lady, it still doesn't add up", he said."It is impossible for someone to drink that number of blood bags", he insisted."I agree with you, it is literally impossible", Katharine said."I personally think she bought it for others", she said."That is the most sensible conclusion", Vladimir responded. There was no other way it could have been."I think we should take our leave now", he said while getting up."Yes we should, we are well rested", Katharine said in resp
As Vladimir walked into the dancefloor of the club, Katharine quickly caught up with him and they both started walking towards the exit. They couldn't talk while walking through the dancefloor, it wasn't private enough and anybody could overhear their conversation.Outside the club, they now had more privacy to talk."How did it go, what did you find out?", Katharine asked."It went very well, her name is Nicole and she is a sweet girl", Vladimir said."Sweet girl?""Don't tell me you like her already?", Katharine asked."Of course not but she is very likeable and very modest to
Lucas and his brothers had been waiting outside her apartment for more than 2 hours now and she wasn't yet back home.Lucas waited patiently for her but it was obvious if she didn't show up soon, their patience would wear thin."She isn't back yet", Andrew said.Lucas was a bit disappointed she wasn't back yet."She will be back", he said, not giving up yet."Okay, I hope so too", Andrew said."Let's wait a little longer", Mark said encouraging Andrew.Lucas looked into his side view mirror to the back of the car. He scanned
The days for mourning were now over. It was dawn already in the werewolf's territory and Mildred was up like the rest of the pack.She had managed to fall back asleep after she stayed up late into the early morning. She was excited as never before. Excited for new things the day had in store for her. Excited about all the prospects. Excited today might just be the day she breaks the ice wall between her and the Alpha hybrid.She made it outside her home to see the werewolves gathering. It appears Alpha White had called for a last minute meeting. She would have loved to go now to see the vampire hybrids but she had to attend this meeting now.After they had gathered. Alpha White appeared in his werewolf glory to address the pack.
Lucas was still sleeping in bed in his penthouse apartment when a familiar call interrupted his sleep and woke him up.His sleep had not been entirely peaceful as he had flashes of Nicole coming into his head as he slept and leaving. He could not remember vividly what he dreamt about her but it troubled his sleep a little, but when he heard his familiar call it was enough to wake him up.He sat up in an instant from his bed fully awake, as he scanned his room for any sign of the voice, for any sign of her. But his room was perfect, the way it has always been. He quickly got out of bed and searched his large wardrobe and bathroom but it was also empty, the familiar voice he heard had not come from that source.He quickly stepped outside into the living room to see what
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.
