Nicole had spent the most part of her day at the mall, shopping for new clothes and accessories than she usually did to try and get her mind off Lucas. Initially her plan appeared to work, as she was engrossed with her shopping but when she was done, only thoughts of Lucas kept flooding her head. She knew she had to see him again.
Secretly she had gone to the mall in hope's to find him there but he was nowhere to be found. She was quite disappointed but had to continue with her shopping.
The day had passed quickly and it was night time. Angela had returned back to her apartment and Nicole was all alone. She hoped Lucas would come around as he did the previous night; it was probably the only way she knew how to contact him.
She left her door unlocked, as she went
"Aaargh!"Dracula growled again in his underground lair as he stood up on his feet."Cobra!", he yelled impatiently."Yes Sire, what is wrong?", Cobra said, as he rushed to the foot of the steps leading up to Dracula's throne"Tell me how many scouts did you send out yesterday?!", he asked angrily. His anger seemed to increase the radiance of the open fires used as touches.Cobra humbly remained in his bowed position at the foot of the steps."All the scout's divisions, Lord Dracula, including your most trusted scouts; the deadly 6, but they are all yet to bring back any feedback", Cobra said."Why then haven't they brought back a report?! His anger seemed to increase, causing the radiance of the fires to increase also."I'm sorry Lord Dracula, I'll send a message to all scouts at once to report back their findings", Cobra said in reverence.Dracula motioned to Cobra with his left index finger to stay rooted at his spot.
Outside of her apartment it was cold but the group of vampires were less concerned about the cold. The atmosphere was intense as they all clustered in a tight group constantly watching over their shoulders for any nearby threats."She is fine, we can all leave now", Angela said as she got out of the apartment."That's good", Charles said."It's good to see you alive and well Nicole", he said to her.Nicole nodded her head. All this was still strange to her but she had to go along with the group.They came with 6 cars and each started to go to their cars in groups of 2's and 3's."Should I bring my car along?", Nicole asked Angela."No, you are riding with Charles and I tonight. We will come back for your car later", Angela said, taking her by the hand and leading her away from her apartment.Some of the other vampires were already in their cars and were waiting for the others to get into theirs so they could leave as a group.
They were now inside the house. It was a nice mansion. Ancient like its owner but nice.They were each escorted to their rooms and told to always remain indoors as the mansion was under high security alert.Angela offered to stay with Nicole in her room, while Charles was offered a room separately. Neither of them were sleepy yet, so Charles joined the girls in their room for a conversation. The time was now 3:20 AM."I never thought in my wildest imagination I'll be staying in a mansion tonight", Angela said, as she admired the place.Charles smiled at her. Angela was not usually the materialistic type but she appreciated this place."I always knew y
The sun was already out and it was sunny outside. Nicole looked at the time on the side of her bed and it was 6: 48 AM.She got out of bed and out of the room into the passageway. She could hear the voices of other vampires talking downstairs in one of the many sitting rooms of the mansion.As she got to the staircase and climbed down, she could now see all of them clearly. They were the group of vampires that arrived here together last night and Charles was with them.She came down the stairs and joined them. They seemed to be engrossed in their discussion, not paying her any attention."Hi I am Nicole, can I ask what's going on here?" She asked a female vampire close to her. She seemed to be seriously
Dracula's lair was as poorly lit as he liked it. He was seated on his lofty throne, lost in thought. He had just finished the meeting with the vampire originals this morning over the hybrid."Lord Dracula, permit me to speak freely", Cobra pleaded. He was stationed at the foot of the staircase leading to Dracula's throne."You may", Dracula said."Thank you Sire", Cobra said."You seemed a bit quieter than usual Sire, could it be because of the vampire hierarchical meeting?", he asked.Dracula remained silent, Cobra understood what his silence meant, having served by his side for centuries."
"6 brave vampire scouts at my command risked their lives in search of the new monster on the loose. They have done so countless times, proving that sacrifice is beneficial for the greater good"."6 brave vampire scouts also gave their honest advice on how to stop the new monsters - by stopping their source, the witch""6 brave vampire scouts know this is a difficult assignment to do but if I have asked them to go into the werewolves territory again as I have done before they would go. Their lives are valuable to me as all of your lives are valuable to me""For every vampire that dies, I feel a sharp pain inside of me, alerting me to their death and demise. I feel all your pains for your brothers and sisters that have died fighting this war with the witch, I feel it personall
A beta werewolf was approaching Alpha White in the woods where they stayed. It was their ancestral territory."Do you have eyes on the Alpha hybrid?", Alpha White asked as the beta werewolf stopped in front of him."No Alpha White, no sign of the Alpha hybrid yet", he said. He was still in his werewolf form and so was Alpha White.Alpha White seemed a little disappointed that the Alpha hybrid had not yet honoured his call, it was already 5 PM in the evening but he still had hope he could still come before the day ran out."I have some other news about the movements of the deadly 6 and the other vampire scouts", the beta werewolf said."Tell me, what h
She couldn't get enough from kissing him and wanted to keep going but before the passion totally consumed her, she stopped.She pulled slightly away, her nose still almost touching Lucas' nose."Why are you here?" She asked softly while still hanging on Lucas' arms."I came here for you, to see you",he said, as her eyes were fixed on him. It seemed she was trying to read his thoughts.Nicole rested her forehead on his. She liked his answer. He was here intentionally to see her. She felt very special to get that recognition from him. She held the left side of his face gently and buried her lips on his while she closed her eyes. She resumed kissing him passionately and he matched her passion.
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.
