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
When she finally came around, everything seemed a bit hazy to her, the back of her head throbbed so hard and she felt weak to her knees.She opened her eyes to a spinning room…she shut her eyes again and then opened them. Things have stopped spinning but she couldn’t recognize where she was. It was like an uncompleted building but with so much light everywhere.The ceiling was high and she seemed to be in the middle of a pentagon. She tried to look up but the light was blinding. Her hands were both tied up separately and so were her legs.“Michael, are you crazy! What the hell are you doing?” She demanded, looking around but Michael was not in sight. In her sight was a whole large room and lots of woods everywhere. The windows were not done yet.“Michael!” she shouted but someone came out to her.It was a man, she recognized him as one of Michael’s men.“Please, let me go!” she pleaded.“You need to keep quiet madam. All this is for your own
Chapter 40Michael sat in one of the rooms in the building. He had about four screens in front of him, one was showing the entrance of the building, another, the frontal area and the rest showed several angles in the room.He was going to take down a monster tonight and he would show the whole world exist. He couldn’t imagine how it had found his way down to Nigeria. Once the world saw this, his public image would be boosted and he would become even more influential, recognized and richer than before. More so, he could take his child with him when he showed the video in court. How Harmony had been sleeping with a monster. Her whole reputation would be ruined.He looked at the ring on the table. Once the man appeared, he would attempt to save his beloved but he would find himself in a pentagon which he had drawn with a chalk on the floor where Harmony was bound. This was meant to restrain his movement. He would never be able to come out of the Pentagon.
“How about that now?” Michael asked viciously, proud of his smartness. He knew he could never be a match for someone like that but he needed some pawns to get him distracted and those were his dead men. He watched as he writhed in pain on the floor. He walked towards Harmony to wake her up…but he was surprised when she was making some moaning sounds.He couldn’t believe his ears…how could she be moaning in her sleep? He quickly untied her and laid her on the floor…but it looked as if she was having some kind of strange sleep and her moaning increased noisily….“Harmony, wake up…” he said tapping her but all of a sudden he felt himself being lifted off the ground and the next thing he knew was being thrown across the room with so much force he hit his head against the wall and he fell to the ground…**“Next time, make sure you target the heart very well,” Odin said to him, walking closer to him and lifting him off the floor and
chabod was confused.. How could this? How could Harmony be Dennis all of a sudden? Still he helped her up into her gown. She kept looking at him in wonder and surprise until she was fully clothed…“My love you don’t believe me do you?” she asked him.If he didn’t believe anything, Harmomy had never called him that before except Dennis.“I don’t understand, ”he replied.“I don’t understand either but…”“She was trapped between the past and the present by me…” said a voice behind them and they turned around. Ichabrin found the witch, Tonia except for now, she was fast changing into the face of the witch that had cursed him so many years ago.“Oh my God!” Harmony shrieked, running towards Ichab….Now a fully grown old woman in a flowing black gown and a magical wand, Tonia laughed.“When I put the curse on you for breaking my daughter’s life I put a hex on her to stop her from dying or living or turning into a vamp like you. It was too ki
**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
