After several forced sleeps and nightmarish events, Bella finally decided to go downstairs. Perhaps watching TV or doing something leisurely would take her mind off worries. She looked to her digital clock by the bedside which brightly displayed Past One. She sighed, then climbed down her bed. As she strolled towards the door, she packed her hair that had now grown messy with curls into a bun. The scenery where Arthur had packed her hair instantly sprung up.

While she toured down the stairs to his Parlour, she couldn't help but love that moment. How his fingers had gently handled her Red hair with care.

She relaxed on the sofa staring lazily and uninterestingly at the TV.

"Can't sleep?" Arthur's voice protruded the solemn atmosphere. Her heart skipped a bit before turning to him. There he was, dressed in his sleep wear with a concerned expression inscribed on his face.

"You too?" She asked softly while he joined her with a safe distance between them. He wore a smile that didn't live

    The woods was indeed a perfect ground for Bella's training. The fresh air, the relaxing scent that encompassed her, the rabbits that scurried about in search of food. But handling a gun or wielding a knife proved too tasking for her. She saw no fun or safeness in dealing with this weapons. In fact, they terrified her to the very core. It felt like they were training her to be an assassin or a murderer someday. That she would one day become so deadly and cold-hearted like them. On the other hand, she understood they were simply going through all this stress for her protection. Her attention on the pistol directed at a tree soon wavered when she heard Arthur's laughter. For the first time, he seemed genuinely happy. Laughing hard at Vincent's joke. A side she's never seen. As she continued to enjoy the scenery she concluded there were more beautiful sides of Arthur yet to be unravelled. There was also a truth that bothered her; she was inadvertently falling for the Vampire."If you

    As Arthur drove to his home with Bella rightly seated, he loathed himself for his actions. With his Vampiric hearing, he knew the guy was harmless. But jealousy and envy took over his consciousness. The guy's flirtatious talks with Bella easily irked him to the very core. He was tired of fighting the obvious fact; that he couldn't subdue his likeness for Bella. With every moment they shared together, he helplessly grew soft towards her. He thought of the night before, where she had leaned her head against his shoulder. How her Red hair seemed to glow in his eyes, her pretty face sleeping peacefully. His thoughts further trailed to their training. Where his chest grazed against her back softly. How her scent had driven him crazy, exciting every nerve in his body and how he had been lost in those beautiful Chestnut eyes of hers, mesmerized by her enticing pink lips. Apart from the Red hair, Bella wasn't in anyway similar to his last love. He's lost so many loved ones to Nicodemus that he

    Arthur exhaled deeply before reviewing his outfit again. He wouldn't deny this would mark as the hundredth time he checked his clothing. This was also the first time in centuries he tried to impress a lady or even bother about his outfit. But today was different, tonight was special. He was going to have dinner with Bella Cosgrove, the beautiful Red haired, daughter of a respectable Sheriff and above all, the lady he was stylishly in love with. He was donning a perfectly tailored Blue and Black checkered suit. An inner white shirt with three buttons left unchecked at the top plus a white sneakers and a gold wristwatch to complement it all. He knocked gently on her door after affirming he was ready. It only took minutes before the door gradually opened. His eyes exclaimed and his jaw dropped. There she was in an absolutely stunning Red V-Neck Chiffon mini gown complemented with Red stiletto high heels. Her face was the only thing that glowed in his eyes. Her Red hair elegantly styled --

    The morning dawned with a smile adorning Bella's face. Last night would have been perfect except for the part where Arthur emerged into her room while she was naked. She loathed herself for freezing dumbfounded and at the same time, she totally enjoyed his cold hands wrapped around her waist. Soft and firm touch. She remembered every detail till the very least, his cold breaths, his sharp grey irises that evidently displayed his lust and those rosy red lips that almost kissed hers. Her thoughts tousled at the sound of the TV that blared downstairs and without further ado, she sauntered to her bathroom for a bath."Good morning." Arthur greeted while he was calmly seated on the couch with a novel in his hands. She was surprised he didn't even flinch or display any hint of nervousness about last night. Whereas her mind still raided with the scenery. She joined him too on his sofa."You know, you could have knocked last night." She voiced in an awkward tone. All he did was flip a pa

    "Where am I?" Asked Alisha who just woke from her slumber feeling tensed and an unending irritation. Her vision hazy, her wrist chained to the arms of a wooden chair she was currently seated in and her legs tied together. Even in her blurry state, she noticed her surroundings was a small cave. With two men. One that was rooted to the wall and the other, dressed in an all black attire. A shirt with three loose buttons at the top, fitting jean complemented with boots. He was poised in her front, metres away and unable to review his face due to her blurriness. "Took you long enough!" The man's overly hoarse voice sounded. "Welcome to the Silvery-Claw Centurion Pack." He muttered in a grand gesture."Slivery what?!" Alisha questioned in an agitated tone. The fact she was having issues as to how she got here and being bound by chains, angered her. "Where am I?! Who are you?! What do you want from me?!!" She screeched while struggling for freedom from the chair. The man simply giggled as he

    Bella silently watched Sabrina and Vincent pack some Witchy artifacts into Arthur's vehicle. The wooden floor she relaxed on ached but her troubling thoughts wouldn't let her bother. She wondered how her mother was faring or if she was even alive. And then Jeremy too, wondering if he was stuck in all these drama like her. "Hey..." Arthur's gentle voice tousled her thoughts. She looked up at him, his face vaguely hiding his anxiety. She sighed and returned her gaze back to the vehicle. "You don't have to be this moody." He muttered as he sat beside her. She shot him a skeptical look."We're basically going on a suicide mission and you expect me to smile?""It's not a suicide mission." He corrected while they exchanged gazes. "My mother is in New Orleans and perhaps Nicodemus has her. We don't even have a weapon to kill him yet. Tell me, how is this not suicide?" She scoffed. He only retained his gaze. His silence giving her the answer. "Arthur, you know there's another way out of t

    "Today, I specifically will teach you how to feed on humans." Nicodemus uttered as he walked alongside Alisha in the woods. Under the cold night "So how are you enjoying your stay in the Centurion Pack?"Alisha frowned at his smiley face, recalling every harsh moments she's witnessed over the hours. She could start with his commander, Jerry, who continuously fed her blood and yapped about Vampire biology. All she thirsted for was home but no hope came forth."What do you want me to say?" She retorted. "You abducted me, turned me into a Vampire and many more dreadful plans to come."He chuckled but Alisha's frown deepened. Infuriating her all the more."And just so you know, I'll never feed off innocent humans. I'll rather die!" She declared ferociously."Don't worry once I have no use of you. I'll kill you myself." He affirmed nonchalantly. Alisha retained silence whilst struck in a limbo. She puzzled if he meant those words or simply bluffing. Either ways, fear boomed in her chest as

    "Alpha!" A Royal guard walked alongside Stella, Nicodemus's favorite Witch, into his Chambers. The large dimly lit room filled with several bodies of young women. Drenched in their blood and misery Nicodemus had gifted.Nicodemus groaned under his breath as he continued to feed on the last lady he grasped tightly. His Fangs buried into her neck and his eyes raging with unquantifiable lust."We have news..." Stella muttered sternly, choosing to ignore the mess he had created."This better be important." Nicodemus bellowed as he pulled his fangs out. The lady let out a silent voice before she collapsed to the ground like the other girls he had been feeding on. He wiped the blood path that trailed on his lips to his lower jaw with his thumb. And then wore a sinister smile as he reviewed his Chambers. Basking in the goriness of his room."Arthur and Bella are here in New Orleans." She uttered whilst Nicodemus face lit with excitement. His smile deepened as he approached her with his arms c

    Everyone that breathed there watched in horror and surprise as great Arthur brought down at least fifty of Nicodemus army whilst Vincent had already sustained an injury; a Werewolf bite which weakened but he still managed to put up a fight.The remaining that left rushed up to Arthur, all of them putting their weights on him to place a bite on his skin. But Arthur roared louder than ever with renewed strength. He threw them away with his hands before running to them tearing them into pieces, ripping their hearts out, he grabbed a Werewolf that launched at him and ferociously bit him by the neck till the man moved no more. Arthur dropped the lifeless body gazing at the injured men whose eyes were lit in fear of the monster in him.Vincent trotted towards Alisha with his injured arm. "The Arthur you know is gone, even I don't know what he is right now. Run.... you're good as dead if he grabs you. Run!" Vincent raised his voice weakly."What about you, you're badly injured." She muttered

    Arthur and Vincent walked stealthily in the woods of the Centurion Pack knowing fully well that guards were on alert, prepared to launch at them. Nevertheless, he still continued on the pathway that led to Bella's captivity;thanks to Sabrina who was able to trace her.Soon rustling of leaves began to sound plus the sound of quick breaths and steps escaping their opponents. The Werewolves surrounded them with a fierce stance and a growl escaping their mouth.Vincent sighed playfully. "You see my friend here, he's really angry and killing Werewolves is his hobby so if you still like your life just let us take what we want and leave. Simple." Vincent gestured courteously but Arthur paid no attention to those words. With certainty, he knew they wouldn't succumb to his friend's philosophical words."We are ready to die for our cause!" One of them barked in return. It infuriated Arthur enough that he wasted no time trotting to the Werewolf and sliced his head off with his silver knife. The o

    Half of Bella's muscles were already weak from the stress she was enduring, her eyes were heavy from the drugs that ran through her system. Her thoughts finally became clear and then she realized she was chained, with her knees to the dry leaves. The fire that burned on the woods made her see clearly till her eyes fell on her mother. Her heart raced faster like it was bound to explode as she watched her mother partly conscious and suffering in pain. Her bones started to shudder as she struggled to meet her mother but her chains held her back successfully.Tears streamed down her cheek realizing how helpless both of them were."Mom?" She stuttered. "Mom!!" She screamed this time."Bella?" She gasped while trying to move her body but no avail."Jeremy!" Her voice sparked with a mix of relief and sadness. His voice was enough to tell how much torture he had gone through. Her best friend was positioned right behind her back but she was unable to face him. Her bondage and her weakness wouldn

    The door flung open to reveal a score of Hybrids and Witches ready to play offensive. Bella gasped, her body cowering in fear. Arthur's eyes widened with horror gleaming on his face. At that moment, confusion set into his mind. Hybrids and Werewolves bite are lethal to Vampires not to talk of Witches whose powers could cause severe pains throughout their bodies. He worried not for himself but Julian and Bella. How was he going to protect them?."Take Bella and run as fast as you can!" Arthur ordered at Julian who simply nodded. "There's no place to run cause this house is under a boundary spell. Nicodemus wants the girl, give her and we shall leave without causing you harm." A Witch confidently spat out. Arthur growled at their arrogant remarks. Infuriated at the weight of courage that reeked off them."I shall let you live if you all can carry your pathetic beings out of this place!." Arthur blurted."We are ready to die for our cause!" An Hybrid retorted."Well then!. Let's get on w
