2024-10-29 19:42:56Adams waited at the driver’s seat patiently humming to himself when all of a sudden, the door burst opened, startling him.
“Oh mine! Ichabod! You almost gave me a fit! Why were you back so....” He kept quiet as he recognized the twitched face and the cyan eyes. In a low growl, Odin ordered, “drive!”
“Okay.” Adams said without further ado and switched on the engine.
**
He got off the car, slamming the door after him before walking into the house in a dominant movement. Adams watched him enter the house before he got off and walked after him. He wondered what had happened but he knew for sure that Odin must have messed things up. When he got inside, he met him pouring himself a drink. Adam stayed further back before asking.
“What happened, Odin?”
“That moron wouldn’t listen to me!” Odin growled, slamming the bottom of the cup against the table. “He just has this insane attitude of disobeying me. I knew it was Denis but he wouldn’t believe me! He messed things up for himself not for me!”
“I don’t understand, Denis? You mean his wife, was the one you saw, thought she was dead.”
Odin graced his butler with a fiery glance and grumbled, “Adam you are too old and you are too slow for my liking, didn’t you get the little logic?” He hissed and his lips twisted in a dangerous smile. “Denis’ descendant, reincarnation....how sweet. It should be nice killing her again....” He laughed sardonically.
“But you are not supposed to be here during the day, you are only to come out in the night.”
Odin sighed with his lips still bearing the wicked smiled. “Dear old Adam, you should thank Ichabod for that, he is getting weaker by the day and I am getting stronger every minute.” He shrugged proudly, “I can come out anytime he showed an emotional weakness, I just take over.
Damn the four months that I have to wait, I could have had that lady right there that instant. Just imagine digging my fangs into the fleshy part of her neck...delish isn’t it?”
Unaware of Adam who had gotten so close to him. By the time he turned around, it was too late, Adam bashed his head with a stick. He felt woozy all of a sudden, he knew he was losing his consciousness but not without doing this. He grabbed Adam by the neck and snarled at him, “how dare you!” before falling into a total blackness.
**
Adam counted the time until it was exactly ten minutes later when Ichabod shouted from his deep sleep where he lay on the floor. He put a hand to his head which was banging so hard. Adam passed him a bag of ice which he held to his head while he managed to stand up.
“Are you okay?” Adam asked.
“Yea, I will be.” Ichabod replied in his normal voice before sitting down.
“Odin told me what happened, Denis was the lady? Is that true?”
Ichabod nodded. It was stupid but there was no way he could explain that to him. He couldn’t even understand.
“How is that possible?”
“I don’t know Adams, I don’t think Odin knows either.”
“Odin mentioned reincarnation, so it’s possible. “
“Then that is fucked up. How do I behave around her? I killed this woman in my other life!”
“You killed another version of her Ichabod, not her. This is fate, fate has brought you both together again. Odin knows you are getting weaker by the minute. You need to be able to control him.”
“I know Adams, I also need to get that job, it really needs to click. One thing that is certain is that Odin won’t touch her until the full moon. He can’t touch her but he can mess things up for me. I don’t want that.”
“Yes but, it is risky if you can’t control him. Getting closer to that woman will be really risky you know. Your ring can barely contain him any longer, We need something stronger,”
“So what do we do?”
“I might know someone, she deals with supernatural stuff like this, she might be able to help us.”

“You look so good Harmony.” She scoffed at Michael’s compliment. They were in a restaurant, the three of them but Tracy was busy fiddling with the new tab her father had brought her, she had huge earphones attached to her ears, shutting her out of the adults’ conversation. “Save your compliments Michael, I don’t need them.” Harmony replied, taking a bite of her food.“You have also done such a remarkable work with our daughter, she has ....”“Hold on right there.” Harmony cut in. “Did you just saw ‘our’ daughter?”Michael nodded but she scoffed.“Seems you have forgotten that you told me you didn’t want her so she is not your daughter.”“Come on, this is why I am here Harmony. I want to make things right.” “What things are you talking about? There is nothing that you need to set right here. Wait, where were you those years ago? Where were you when I was in the labor room? Now all of a sudden you want to make things right?”Mic

HARMONY'S POV“Wow. The outing was really great. I can see that. A new hair? Fits you.” Vivian said as we got in.I had branched the salon to make a new hair style for my movie premier, it was a short, red cap. Tracy was super excited and was jumping up and down. “Aunt V, I just saw my daddy.” She said.“Oh, I’m sure he brought you lots of stuffs, didn’t he?” Vivian asked and Tracy nodded.The maid came over to collect the bunch of stuffs I had in my hands from me while I collapsed against the settee. I was so tired. I kept looking at my daughter and friend as they talked excitedly together. Michael had brought our daughter expensive stuffs which she was showing to Vivian.They soon walked out of sight while I lay on the couch.As I was about closing my eyes, my phone vibrated, luckily, it was in my hand, so I just put the phone to my ears.“Hey babe. What’s up?”I sighed, it was Michael. “I’m good.”“Are my

“She only said one drop on the tongue Ichabod!” Adams shouted but Ichabod ignored him and went ahead to put the few drops.“I am going to be around a woman that I have loved all my life and whom I thought I actually killed in my dream. Pardon me but a drop won’t cover it.” He said before closing the lid on the bottle while hiding it away into the inner pocket of his suit.“Are you ready?” Adams asked, carrying his suitcase which contained just about four pieces of clothes which they had managed to get.“Yea but I still don’t understand how to go about this phone-thing.”Ichabod explained, holding the new phone upside down.“Just make sure you read the manual. Come on, let’s go. You are driving. You need to start getting used to this. We will collect the license on the way.”“Yea, I think driving is fun actually, it’s super cool, I don’t mind.” Ichabod said, following Adams out.**She checked the time for the hundredth

The whole place was filled to the brim as the movie, ‘altar ego’ was being shown. Harmony sat next to her daughter who was beside Vivian. Next to Vivian was the director and other cast of the movie.Ichabod stood in a corner, standing where he could see Harmony. She was looking extraordinary and he was finding it difficult to believe that this lady wasn’t the same woman that he had married. What kind of trick was this? Still he tried to maintain his cool, he needed to plan how to get close to this woman, he needed to find a way to get close to her heart...again before the full moon.He looked at his watch momentarily and then for some reason, he decided to focus on the movie.He couldn’t remember the title but there was something that drew him to it.He kept seeing a man fighting himself for no reason and was busy talking to himself in a foreign language mixed with the English but he couldn’t understand. Sometimes the audience would laugh out loud and ot

Harmony didn’t quite understand what he meant by saying he believed in double personalities more than most people but she took the time to explain the story line to him while they sat together. She made sure he was sitting right next to her while she sat between him and her daughter who sat next to Vivian.Altar Ego was about a man who would never succumb to his other good side and enjoyed doing evil all the time. However, his good side showed up the day he saw a beautiful girl which Harmony played and then he had to battle with his inner evil and his good side.All through the movie, Harmony couldn’t stop looking at Ichabod, he seemed pretty immersed in the movie even though he never really understood most of what was being said apart from when correct English language is spoken, still it was easy for Harmony to explain to him. Ichabod was quiet all through. Part of him could relate with the Akeem or whatever the name was. He still couldn’t understand how Harmony

11:35 PM“Just go in and sleep damn it!”Ichabod cursed under his breath in his new room.He could still hear her pacing up and down as she walked from one room to the other room. He could feel the way she breathed, ‘I love you’ into her daughter’s ears while she tucked her into her bed. Even though it was quite far from his room, Ichabod could feel every movement...every whisper. His transition time was getting closer and he couldn’t control himself that much.The bottle was in his hand and he thought of putting more drops into his tongue...“You imbecile! That will be cheating! I will kill you if you try that nonsense!”He snarled to himself in Odin’s voice.He snapped out of it with a deep grunt....Please Harmony....just go to sleep....**Harmony left Tracy’s bed and was walking out when she heard Tracy’s voice.“Mum, please make daddy come to my Halloween party. I don’t want

In a swift movement, he was in her room. The bed lamp was on, it was a faint red lamp and for a normal human eye, you wouldn’t be able to see much but for a vampire, even in the dark, everything is bright.He watched as she lay peacefully in her bed. Her breath was in a slow movement and her body was covered in her white blanket. Her hair was tucked in a blue satin. She looked as fresh as morning dew in her sleeping state.“Wow! That is one beautiful piece of cake.” Odin said to himself and was immediately standing beside her, so close to her that he brought out his hand and with his index finger, he trailed the side of her cheek down to her jaw line...He could feel Ichabod’s resistance within him so he chuckled to himself...“Calm down idiot. You know that the night belongs to me. Even though you tried everything to stop me from coming out in the day, you can’t stop me from coming out in the night. That will mean getting rid of me forever and that

Odin followed as the little human girl took her to the balcony of the house. There was no light except the reflection of the moonlight. There were two seats as well and she sat on one. Odin grunted, what kind of foolishness was this? So would Ichabod actually turn him into a baby sitter in this night? He thought of using his power on the little girl to send her to sleep immediately but...“I’m so sad Ichabod.” The girl whimpered and this stopped him from doing what he wanted to do.“If you are sad, talk to your mother not me.” He murmured. “My mum doesn’t like my dad.” She said, more like talking to herself. “If he still doesn’t show up at the Halloween party, I am going to be laughed at again. I can’t ask my mum to dress up like my dad again. It’s embarrassing.” She cried. “For days I couldn’t even do anything in class without being laughed at. I hate this stupid Halloween.”Odin was barely listening to her, instead, he was thinking of how he would l

**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.

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
