He has been waiting in the car for some time. He needed a plan but he didn’t want Odin to mess things up for him, so he planned to do things in his own way. He checked the time, it was some minutes past 12pm, his phone rang and he picked it, it was Rashidat.
“Hello,” he said quickly.
“Ichabod, where are you? You need to come quickly, the man is away, we can question him, I will meet you with an umbrella, come quickly, Adam is here as well.” Then she hung up.
He sighed and quickly dialed Harmony’s number, it was answered by Vivian.
“Hello Sexy, “Vivi said.
“Oh hi Vivi, please I need to go to somewhere really important, please can you cover for me with Harmony? She mustn’t know that I left?”
“Well, I have always heard that after a fight between two lovers, the make-up sex is always great,” Vivian joked, laughing.
“Please, Vivian, it’s really important.”
“Ok handsome, just know you owe me. She is on set right now so, we won’t be done till
“Have you seen Ichabod?” Harmony asked Vivi who looked startled where she sat.“Jeez! Girl you scared me. Chill, he will show up soon.” She replied, chatting on her phone.Harmony frowned, “he will show up? It’s been more than four hours since I have been on set and he’s not back yet.”Vivian frowned, “come on, chill. Don’t be a stalker girlfriend please. It’s not cool. Here. Take a drink.” Vivia said offering her a cup of wine which Harmony took reluctantly. She sat on a stool next to Vi’s and watched as a new cast took over the set.“Did he tell you before he left?” she asked.“Sure, I only asked him to get something for me, he should be on his way back.”“You asked him to get you something without telling me?” she snapped.“Chill girl, its all part of your birthday surprise which you have just ruined.”Harmony calmed down, “really?”
“Why can’t he just step out of the car!” Vivian shouted loud enough for Ichabod to hear. “I told you darling! He is a fucking Vampire that’s why!” Michael mumbled into Harmony’s ears as he held her around the neck, ignoring her whimper of pain.Harmony was coughing. She kept holding on to Michael’s hand which was around her throat. Vivian was freaking out and Ichabod was looking at them… Why was he not doing anything?**Ichabod kept hitting the clutch…he was tempted to come out but that would jeorpardize everything! He calculated the length of time that might be required to stay in the sun but he knew he stood no chance.Think, think, think!**Harmony was surprised as the windows were rolled up and the car began to move“See, he is leaving you behind. I told you.” Michael said viciously but Harmony couldn’t understand. What was Ichabod doing? They watche
Later that night, Harmony lay on her bed with Ichabod beside her. She was lying on his chest while he put an arm around herShe found comfort in his arms and it was like all the worries of the day were gone except for one thing. She was still confused about one thing and that was, why he never tried to come out of the car. He could have tried, couldn’t he? And why was she suddenly beginning to feel like she may not know him after all. First, the Dennis issue and now Michael said something about him not being who he seemed to be. Yes, the vampire was something too ridiculous but what if he was really not who he claimed to be. She didn’t know anything about him and…“Are you okay?” he asked again.“Yes, I’m okay,” she replied, lifting up her head and looking into his eyes.“Are you still worried about the event today or how you would tell Tracy about us dating?”She chuckled, “all of the above actually.”He brushed pack her hair and planted a
He checked the time for the fifteenth time and realized it was 11:30. Her head was still resting on his chest and with the way she was breathing, he could tell that she was not yet asleep but she was beginning to drift off gradually.He kept patting her slowly on the back and just like that, her breathing became erratic, meaning she was falling asleep slowly. Thank goodness!Slowly, he slid from under her, carefully and cautiously…then when he was finally able to get her properly positioned on the bed, he stood up, checked his time and dashed off.**He found Rashidat already waiting for him outside with the van.“What took you so long? We don’t have all the time.” She said, opening the door for him while he got in. He said nothing for he remembered she had scratched him the last time.“Well, aren’t you going to say anything?” She asked.“How about you apologise first?”“For what?”“For scratching me…” he
This time, she was at a party with lots of white folks than she has ever seen before. There were lots of merry-making, music and dances…everyone was happy, including herself. It felt like the happiest day of her life until the door opened and a scary old woman opened the door…the music stopped all of a sudden and the man beside her stood up. He walked towards the woman. She was quiet, everyone was quiet…she couldn’t hear what was being said but she could feel that something was wrong. The next thing she heard was a loud growl and everywhere scattered…by the time she came to her senses, she felt a sharp pain around her neck and she screamed…holding her hand to her neck…when she looked to see what it was, all around her was covered in blood, including her white gown…a growl sounded next to her and she saw sharp pointy yellow fangs, snarling at her..She screamed and woke up, panting heavily.Harmony realized she was soaked in her own sweat and her
Harmony was busy planning for her birthday which was coming up the following day. Event center has been paid for and they still had lots of things to shop for.“You know you need an assistant,” Vivian said as they walked through the boutique.“An assistant? I already have you, what else do I need assistance for?” she replied while checking out a pink hat in the mirror.“Well, maybe you need to increase my payment cos I'm doing the work of two assistants,” Vivian replied, removing the hat from her head.“Maybe you need to stop complaining and be happy that you are my assistant.” Harmony replied, checking out a pair of glasses.Vivian frowned, “what are you checking that out for? You already have like a dozen of sunshades, unless you want to buy it for me.”Harmony chuckled, “hell no, this is for Ichabod. I thought I needed to buy him some new cloths. Some jeans and shirts as well, to make him look hotter instead of those jeans he's always wearing.”
“What do you mean he is not invited?” Harmony demanded, “he is with me.”“Yes, I know but he has to stay outside if you want me to help you,” the woman retorted.Harmony looked at Vivian who shrugged and turned to Ichabod. “You are okay outside right?”Ichabod nodded. “Don’t worry, I will wait just here.”Harmony wasn’t sure but then she had no choice than to leave him behind.The interior was decorated with different paintings hanging on the wall. Harmony was surprised since there were no TV or DVD or any modern design, apart from the beautiful work of arts.“Sit down please,” Tonia said and they did. Vivian and Harmony sat on a couch while Tonia sat on a stool in front of them. “Tonia, she is the lady I told you about,” Vivian said to the woman.“Your birthday is tomorrow,” Tonia said like a statement instead of as a question.Harmony nodded, a bit surprised that she could tell. Vivian giggled beside her, “I told you she is go
“You have to calm down Ichabod…”Rashidat said as Ichabod kept pacing to and fro.“I can’t. My heart is beating so fast and….” His eyes shimmered red. He laughed sardonically like Odin would but all of a sudden, he went back to being himself again. “I can’t control him…” Ichabod cried, taking the bottle from his pocket but it only remained a few drops. “You can’t take those anymore Ichabod. Today is the day, it’s of no use.” Rashidat said, “Besides, you are with me, what do you have to fear, I can handle Odin.”“Oh I bet you can handle me naughty girl!” Odin said all of a sudden….pulling Rashidat close to him.“Leave me alone Odin and try and behave…” she shouted.“But what is the fun in that? You love me like this don’t you?’ he asked, sniffing every part of her.“You are frightening us all Odin…”“Well, I know you are not frightened…you see, that is why I like you so much. Imagine what happens tonight when you can finally have me lik
**Hi Guys, so I realized I made a mistake in the last three chapters talking about Vivian instead of Rashidat but that has been cleared. Apologies about that. It has been corrected*"So, Harmony and Ichab are married?"Rashidat nodded.They were at a restaurant after leaving the psychic's place. With the blood that dripped into his mouth while unconscious, he had been cured of his vampire spirit and was now human. Rashidatkept on looking at him, smiling. She was too happy."If you keep on looking at me like that, I might be forced to make love to you right here in front of all these people."Rashidat blushed and looked away."It's just really difficult to finally believe that you are here," she replied.Odin smiled. "Don't worry. I am here to stay but you will need to find a way to explain to your father."Rashidat sighed. "He would definitely faint after hearing it."They both chuckled.
Rashidat watched as the woman knelt down, holding the soaked cloth in between her palms. She was positioned in a way that as she held the cloth, the blood that dripped from it, dropped on the dead man's forehead and all the way to his lips.She threw her head back and began to chant in a foreign language.It started really softly at first, but then it intensified as her voice grew stronger and louder. The candlelight began to flicker.The woman did not stop. As she continued, Rashidat thought she saw the shadow of someone bypassed her...her heart ceased. She intensified her gaze and realized it was nothing.As the woman continued. Another shadow ran across the room and a mighty wind started, scattering everything in the room.Amidst this noise, Rashidat began to hear lots of strange voices, some were loud, some were just whispers. She couldn't pick anything but she heard a faint voice, calling, her name."He's calling my name!" she sho
"Here is it," she said, dropping the piece of cloth on the psychic's table.The lady raised her brows. "He really likes you to have visited you," she stated and picked up the cloth.Rashidat sat on the couch. She could feel a throbbing at the side of her neck that was tied with a scarf. She had tried not to make her father suspect anything and had decided to cover it up that morning."May I see it?" asked the psychic.Rashidat frowned at first and then later untied the scarf. The lady stood up and walked closer to him. She bent slowly in front of her and turned her head sideways to inspect the bruises."Hmm...he's lucky you are looking out for him. He's drifting slowly but the blood you gave him was enough to make him last longer for us to do what we are supposed to do. ""What do you mean by drifting?" Vi asked, tying her scarf back as the psychic walked back her seat."The underworld is a terrible place. There are stages where some
That night, as usual, Rashidat was waiting in the room, waiting for him. Her father had retired for the night so it was just her in the darkness. She had purposely put off the light while she waited for the wall-clock to chime 12:AM.While she paced, lots of doubts began to find a way into her mind...what if he never showed?All of a sudden, a strange breeze filled the room, causing lots of things on the desk to clatter to the floor."Rashidat"His voice gave her goosebumps and she turned around to take a look at him. He was sitting on her bed. She walked towards the switch to put on the light but in a flash, he was he pulled her away. It was so sudden that her breath caught. The next thing she knew was she was on the bed while he was standing close to her."Do not put on the light," he growled."Why?" she inquired."Becuase," he said quietly. "I do not want you to see me like this..."She frowned and stood up. She walked
“I really can’t believe what you’re saying,” Vivian said. Rashidat had gone to her house the next day to recount all that happened the previous night. Although she didn’t go into full details, she only told her what was important.
She couldn’t believe her eyes as she walked closer to the mirror…She could feel her heart rising and falling as she reached a hand towards the mirror…to touch him but she only touched the cold surface of the glass. She hurried to put on the light but then he was gone. Now, she was confused…Odin!”“Hello, my lovely,” came the familiar voice very close to her ear but she still couldn’t see him.
Rashidat sat in front of the mirror as the clock struck some minutes to twelve, quietly smoking her cigar. Ever since Ichabod and Harmony left, she had always been doing this, hoping that somehow, Odin would appear to her. She knew it was crazy and her father knew this as well. Still, she was hoping that somehow, Odin would show up. It was a
Pleasure rippled through her, something deep inside of her felt ravenous. She drank him in. Thousands of butterflies dipped and dived in her stomach. She closed her eyes so tight colors exploded behind her lids.He pulled nearly all the way out of her and then pressed in.A quiver of anticipation shot through her, wrenched her passion higher yet until the feeling built deep inside her and she reached for it. He stopped all of a sudden.“No, no!” she whined in protest.
Chapter 41That night, Harmony settled in her bed, waiting expectantly for her husband as she looked at the ring on her left finger. It’s been two days since they left Africa and were settled in Michigan. They had also decided to get married and had gone to a court to profess their love for each other. Everything was just perfect.Ichab walked out of the bathroom, with water dripping on the floor while he picked up a towel on a
