Early morning, Emma wore her regular jeans and a dark blue shirt, after her morning routine. She looked at herself in the mirror.
She recalled how she was bullied by Amanda, last year. She remembered what Amanda told her.
'Who is going to marry you? You are neither beautiful nor sexy. You don't have a good sense of dressing.'
She remembered what she told Amanda in reply to that.
'I was like that before high school but it got me nowhere. At least unlike you, I will someday become a successful person. Someday you will realise that being a bully, did nothing good for you.'
Tears kept falling from her eyes.
'Amanda was right. No one can love someone like me. Stephen doesn't love me. All this was an act.' she thought.
She turned to her right and saw a photograph of herself with her family. It had a plain black
Emma couldn't believe that she was going to her school along with a guard. It was something she had never imagined in her life but she didn't have much of a choice.Emma and Nancy sat in Rhonda's Toyota Etios comfortably. They sat in the back of the car and looked around. The car had a good space for at least four people in the back seat. Taking a look in the front, Emma realized that it had an automatic steering system."Nice car. It's very comfortable.""Yes, I love this car for two reasons. One, it's very comfortable and spacious. Two, it's Toyota.""I don't get it. In my opinion, nothing beats BMW," said Emma."Well, BMW is very good but Toyota is very economical .""I don't get either of you," said Nancy.Nancy was not happy to go with Rhonda. She wanted Agent Wilson to drop her. Mrs Smith had to push her inside the car when she requested him to
Stephen understood what Emma felt for him but he could not take any more risk. He wanted to somehow keep Emma by his side until Vlad appeared. He was ready to pretend and manipulate her more just to keep her on his side.Stephen broke the kiss and looked at Emma. The kiss had not changed anything. She was unhappy and still probably wanted to stay away from him. He pulled her into his arms. He knew he was wrong but he had no choice. In the past, he never thought of playing with someone's feelings but now a certain situation propelled him to do this.'I am sorry Emma. I have to use you to get back my lost reputation.' he thought."I don't know why you are upset. It's my birthday tomorrow and I want to celebrate it with you. It will be my first birthday in Roseville." said Stephen." Look I am sorry but I don't feel well. I need to stay alone today. I am sorry ." She tried to push him away b
Emma took her food tray from a pretty woman at the counter and looked around for an empty seat, in the cafeteria. She wanted to sit alone this time but the cafeteria was already full of students. Rhonda had already gone to eat from a restaurant nearby. Andre, her old friend, was already sitting beside Stephen. Looking carefully, she realized that the chair next to Andre was empty. She quickly ran and sat on it.Stephen looked at her shocked, as she sat beside Andre, not him. Andre looked at her surprised. He looked first at her and then at Stephen.Emma understood how exactly Andre must have felt about but ever since she heard the audio recording from Agent Wilson's cellphone, she felt hurt. Though she agreed to be in touch with Stephen, her heart didn't want to do it. She couldn't explain this to anyone so she decided to keep quiet for now."Ok, did you both argue?" Andre asked."No!" they said together.
Stephen did not come to school the next morning but he messaged Emma and his friends that he won't come to school. He was helping his mother with the evening's party.Emma had not opened his gift yet. She did not want to go to his party but she wanted to know why Stephen came into her life. The audio recording she heard over Agent's Wilson's phone shocked her. It was a conversation between two vampires and it seemed to her that one of them knew she was the descendant of the original Phoenix. He told the other vampire that his Lord Stephen recognized her the moment he saw her.Emma was deeply hurt after hearing this conversation. She now understood why Stephen kept looking at her. She wanted to know why he was playing with her feelings. Perhaps the real question she wanted to ask was what was he expecting from her. She wanted to know what made him play with her emotions. She knew she wasn't good looking enough for him but the thought that he wanted to play w
Rhonda and Emily finally reached Stephen's much talked about home. Though Emma was still nervous, she still kept going ahead to know the truth. She wanted to know what exactly were Stephen's plans for her. Rhonda stopped the car in front of the huge iron gates. Two men, who wore a navy blue uniform stepped forward and tapped on Rhonda's window. "Name of the guest?" asked one of the men in uniform. 'So muscular! He looks too bulky to be a security guard. He looks like a wrestler.'thought Emma as she looked outside. "This is Emma Smith. She is the guest and I am her bodyguard," replied Rhonda. The guard with dark curly hair checked a list and nodded his head. The other guard who wore a cap on his head opened the gate
Agent Wilson stood in the corner of the main hall. He wore a grey wig and was sporting a typical French beard. He wore a white shirt and black trousers just like the other waiters. He kept looking at the entrance. Usually, he was not someone who would do undercover. He did go on undercover operations ten years back but after that, he completely stopped it. His previous partner had done regularly unlike him. He felt irritated as he walked around.'Damn thosegirls, when are they going to come?'he thought as he looked at the door."Excuse me handsome, could you give me another glass of vodka." said a girl, who appeared out of nowhere, in front of him. She pushed her long, curly, blonde hair back and looked at him, straight into his eyes."I am sorry
Nicholae laughed as he came closer to Emma. She looked at the vampire in front of her shocked. Emma didn't expect to meet him here. She remembered how a vampire sacrificed his life to save her from this vampire. Now she stood alone away from everyone in front of this strong vampire. The sword was no longer with her and without it, she was absolutely powerless. She wondered if now was the time for her to leave this world."I left Gregory in the kitchen. He wouldn't have let me kill you," said Nicholae as he continued to walk inside the room.Emma began to walk backwards as Nicholae came closer. She looked at her left and right to see if there was any way for her to escape."It doesn't have to be this way. I don't want to use my powers. I want to be a doctor." said Emma.
Tears began to fall from Emma's eyes. Everything was clear to her now. She had once trusted Stephen and he betrayed her but she did not know that Rhonda too was helping him. The photograph in the secret room proved that Rhonda and Stephen knew each other very well. They both wanted to kill Gregory and show Emma that they were on her side but they intended to use her against the most feared vampire Vlad Tepes."Emma, what are you saying?" croaked Stephen."You planned all this, didn't you? You, Rhonda and this vampire, Gregory?" said Emma."No Emma, I am not involved with them. I came here to teach them a lesson," said Rhonda."Lies, I saw a photo of you with him. Guess what Agent, it was exactly like a family photograph."
The dark sky was filled with plenty of clouds, giving the hint of rain to all the small brown boats on the sea. The sounds of thunder began sending several men on these boats in action. All these men were dressed in dark blue shirts and trousers, with a white eagle on their shirts. They made sure to increased the speed of their boats to reach the shore but the blowing wind disturbed their actions. However, one boat was different. This boat unlike them did not have anyone. It just kept floating completely undisturbed by the waves of the sea or the strange howling winds.This boat caught the eye of another man who was dressed in blue like the others. He had dark black hair and brown skin with a black mustache. He stopped rowing the boat the moment it caught his dark black eyes scanned the boat before lowering his eyebrows."Hey guys! Did someone fall from that boat?" He asked loudly pointing it to the others."Kasun dude, just leave it. Can't you see? There is probably a storm coming
"Forgive whatever sins they had committed through human weakness and in your goodness, grant them eternal rest." said the priest as the mud began to be thrown over the casket covering two bodies which were dug deep inside the earth, side by side.Dressed in a long black robe, the old priest with grey hair stood the closest to the bodies. The other people dressed in black outfits gathered around the two freshly dug bodies, almost forming a circle, making a small crowd in the back of the graveyard. Everyone in the circle, from the young children to the old grey-haired adults, looked down with sadness on their faces. They had been told already about the deaths of this couple a few days ago by the local newspaper but the post mortem and the police delayed the funeral.Today, finally the day came for them to pay respect to the wea
What would you do if any member of your family went missing? Of course, one would call all the friends and ask them if they knew anything. If nobody knew anything, one would have to turn to the police.First Emma went to Stephen's house along with Agent Wilson to check for her sister Nancy. She suspected that he was involved in her abduction. Instead of finding Nancy, she found her photograph with a school's bad boy Justin Miller. Emma came back home disappointed but she didn't give up. She called up each of Nancy's friends and ask them if Nancy had told them anything strange. Unfortunately, none of them knew anything that would help them find her sister. Emma had even called up Justin who straightaway said that they hardly spoke to each other these days.Agent Wilson assured Emma that he would once again check th
Hours went by and yet Nancy was kept tied to a chair in a small dark room by a rope. The only times her rope was removed was when she had to eat or go to the washroom. The person who had brought her into this situation was her secret lover, Justin Miller. He was someone whom she had always trusted. Being a daughter of a successful businessman and sister of someone who was considered a brilliant student, Nancy was always under the scanner of people. Opening up about a boyfriend who was a party animal would have caused a scandal too. Hence when Justin insisted on keeping their relationship a secret, she agreed to it, even though she wasn't happy.His sudden disappearance disturbed her but when he returned, he was completely different. Nancy should have understood that something was wrong. She should have stayed away from him. Not only was Justin a vampire, but he was also involved w
Stephen sat on a white bed in the recovery room of his house. This was the room where the injured vampires would come for recovery. Gregory was once made to rest in this very room. Everything in this room, from the bed to the cupboards was white. The windows in this room were covered with newspapers. The injured vampires could rest here and Stephen's mother would provide blood for their recovery. All the servants were strictly instructed never to enter this room. The reason was that any injured vampires may attack them because of severe thirst.Ever since Emma appeared at his house, Stephen was worried. Emma's sister Nancy went missing and Emma suspected him to be involved in her disappearance. He knew that convincing her won't be easy but he had to act as fast as possible. If anything happened to her sister, the blame would somehow fall on him. He kept pacing around the rec
It was early morning in the town of Roseville. The sun shone brightly on the streets, which no longer had any snow. It was now the season of spring. Several plants and beautiful roses in various places now seemed to grow again. A tall, dark muscular man walked quietly in the woods, looking around, making sure no one saw her. This man wore a black leather jacket and trousers. He had brown hair and dark black eyes that scanned the area around him. His eyes fell on little birds that sat on a branch of a tall tree in front of him. The little birds kept making noise until a big bird approached them. The dark man turned around and saw a fawn sitting beside a tree. Another deer stood beside it and ate leaves from a plant nearby.The dark man walked very slowly and carefully towards the fawn. He didn't want them to know his presence, so he ducked the moment the deer turned its
It has been always commonly known that siblings cannot be the exact mirror image of each other. Many times the world has seen siblings who have opposite personalities. The same thing was with Emma and Nancy. Though they were sisters they had opposite personalities. Emma was studious but Nancy believed that being practical was more important. Nancy believed that being an academic achiever was not the most important thing in life. She believed that one even needs to enjoy their life. Emma was perfectly aware of this opinion. She knew but never told anyone about Nancy's party life. Not even her parents were aware of Nancy's rave parties which she was secretly attending even when she was grounded.What surprised her the most was a photograph in Stephen's house. Agent Wilson found this photograph in one of the bedrooms and showed it to Emma. It was a photograph of Nancy hol
Family meant everything to Emma. Whenever she was hurt, it was her family that supported her. They encouraged her whenever she decided to do anything that she had not done before. Emma had several beautiful memories with her family. Her sister Nancy was an important member of the family. She was the joy of the house. Unlike Emma, Nancy was all about fun. She wasn't all about academic excellence. Nancy wanted to study but not very seriously like her older sister. She wanted to enjoy her high school days as well.Emma pretended not to know much about her party life but she knew where her sister went. This was because of her friend, Andre. He would always inform her where she went. However, there was something else he had noticed. It looked like Nancy was getting involved with one of the bad guys at the school. Though Andre wasn't sure about it, he later assured that he would try and
Nancy Smith always thought her life was safe and secure despite her wild nights with friends. Never had she thought that her secret lover would kidnap her. When she learnt about the new rave party in the town that is secretly being held in the woods, she immediately called her secret lover Justin Miller. Nancy's mother, Helina Smith had grounded her and she was made to eat a very healthy diet. Justin immediately sprung into action and decided to help her escape her house. What she didn't know was that Justin was a vampire as well.It all started with Julia's corpse. No doctor could understand the main cause of death. All they found out was that she was anaemic. Soon after her funeral, Cathy went missing and she wasn't even found as a corpse by the police. Justin too went missing that time. Nancy was upset but she didn't say anything to anyone. She send him thousands of messa
