THE SCIENTIST II

WARREN’S POV

Intelligence isn’t always a blessing. Sometimes it causes destruction, death, jeopardy. Sometimes intelligence is a curse. The only thing my intelligence caused is a war. A war that took many lives, including my parents’. Everything started with me. Everything is my fault.

God, I was such an idiot. But I did it for family, I did it for love. I just wanted to be free from the hold the vampires had on us. I wanted to save my parents. My parents and I were used as blood banks under the rule of those blood suckers.

It was three years ago. I try to tell myself that I was only seventeen, I didn’t know what I was getting myself into.

When I think about my escape from the vampire nation that day, it still baffles me.

“You are not going to spend the rest of your life in this hell hole.” My mother said to me once. Her and father promised they were going to get me out of there. They said I was too smart and gifted to waste away, being used as a blood bank.

And so they did.

I remember being scared out of my pants that night. I still don’t know how father managed to steal me a horse, or how I managed to get out of the vampire fortress undetected by all those guards. I guess they didn’t really feel the need to be extra cautious. No human had ever escaped that place. But if God exists, I like to think he was with me that night.

The night I escaped from the vampire nation. Once I got out, it was easy to find my way to the werewolves. Every inch of my bone was telling me to head into the forbidden forests, to find the witches instead and convince them to fight for the humans once more. But no one actually knows if there are witches in there or just wild animals. People say the witches abandoned us in fear of being killed by the vampires.

The werewolves were more numerous and they had strength and an army. Even though they weren’t as strong as the vampires. I was hoping presenting them with my idea would get them interested. And it did. Except, things didn’t turn out as planned. They were supposed to help the humans escape the vampires, that was the deal I signed up for when I told them I could make them stronger.

They didn’t believe me at first. They wanted to hand me back to the vampires in fear of them being attacked. The werewolves had always lived peacefully away from the vampires. The vampires never bothered them because of some agreement between an alpha and a vampire lord years ago.

The alpha was the only one determined enough to try it out. And once I got him convinced, finding a vampire wasn’t hard. In no time he got me a vampire so I could start carrying out my experiments.

He gave me two months to come up with something before he either killed me or sent me back to the vampires.

I delivered in two weeks. Three teaspoons of serum I made for the alpha, gamma and beta. 

I still have no idea where the alpha got a vampire to be used for the experiment. It was convenient. Once I presented him with the serum, I had hope. I for sure was certain that my parents were finally going to be saved, that humans would finally be freed from the tyranny of the vampires.

Boy, was I wrong.

“Is this all you were able to make?” The alpha asked me after he took his share of the serum.

“Just enough for you and your brothers to defeat the vampires sir.” I answered with all the joy in the world at the weapon I had created.

He assured me he would save my people and exterminate all the vampires. I later found out that his plan all along was to become the supreme ruler. He wasn’t any better than the vampires. If anything, he was worse. I created a monster.

He captured us, humans and vampires alike and forced me to make him more serum. I refused but he threatened to kill my parents. The serum I made for him and his brothers was wearing off already in the middle of the war. I didn’t want to help him but I was scared of what he might do to my parents.

He slaughtered vampires right in front of me and delivered me their blood and in two weeks he had more serum than he did the first time. He was power hungry, the serum was like a drug for him and his brothers.

The alpha and beta fought together as brothers with their army. In no time, they took over the vampires but they killed my parents anyways and held me captive.

“He’s valuable. We might still need his skills in the future.” The beta said then, convincing the alpha to keep me locked up.  

I knew I was the only one who knew the formula to my serum, I knew they would never risk killing me. I thought I could escape but the werewolf nation is just as difficult to escape as the vampire nation.

I hated them so much. I still hate all of them. But recently all I’ve felt is hopelessness. I’ve served them for so long that it has become a norm to me. I gave up, not wanting to fight anymore. Once I thought of killing myself, but i'm too much of a coward to pull that off. 

My parents would be disappointed at the person I’ve become. The determination I escaped with from the vampire nation has been diluted by fear and cowardice. I was supposed to save my people but I failed. Instead I created monsters.

I thought of poisoning the serum once. To kill the lot of them, but that would get me killed. I twist my face in annoyance at my cowardice as tears start pooling in my eyes. I hate myself for being so weak, for not being able to fight. But there’s nothing I can do, they are stronger than me. They have the upper hand.

I just wonder why they need more serum, they won the war. They killed the vampire lord apparently and they have nothing to fear so why do they need more serum. It’s either they are afraid of something or they are just power hungry monsters.

As I sob and fall to my knees, I say a silent prayer to anyone listening. The same force that helped me escape the vampires that night, I pray to that same force to send us a savior. Someone to get us out of this hell hole.

    KILLIAN’S POVI almost died. I can’t believe I let my guard down as much as I did. We thought ourselves the most powerful creatures in the world. We thrived and moved forward never looking back to check if we were in danger. There was no need to check anyways. The vampires were the most powerful. Even as the werewolves attacked that day, I still kept my head held high. ‘Just what exactly do they think they can do to us?’ I thought to myself that day as the invasion started. Of course they attacked during the day and tore down half our fortress, the only thing shielding us from the sunlight destroyed. That of course gave them a huge advantage, but I was still confident they couldn’t do anything to us. A quarter of my people immediately burned exposed to the sun’s rays. Me being the vampire lord, the most powerful vampire in existence, I am more resistant to the burn of the sun. I walked confidently towards the alpha, plunging at him and ready to rip out his throat.

How can you get a vision?” She questions.“I have no idea mom but that’s what it felt like. It felt like a pull, it felt so real.” I say still shivering from what I just saw. “Come on. If there’s anyone who can explain, it’s the supreme witch.” She grabs my hand quickly and leads us out of our little house. Far into the forbidden forests is where the witches and some humans who have escaped tyranny live. We’ve been here for decades, too scared to meet the cruelty of the outside world. Everything is simple for us in here.We live in peace. The witch supreme created a boundary. Only humans and witches can come in and out of these forests.

    DAMON’S POV “What are you thinking about Morgana?” I haven’t called her pet in seven days. I can tell she likes the new change given the way her face lights up every time I call her by her name. It’s almost cute. “Nothing master.” She replies quietly from her cage. I don’t believe her. “Don’t lie to me.” I state, raising a brow as I continue staring at her. “I was thinking about my parents.” I still don’t believe her. Why is she lying to me? I crease my brows, a frown forming on my forehead as I stare keenly at her. I open my mouth to ask her not to lie to me again but then I decide to play along with her instead. Clearing my throat, I walks towards my king-sized bed, getting comfortable as I fall to my back on it. “Do you miss them?” I ask, a faint smirk on my face she can’t see. A silly question I know, but I’m bored and stressed and need someone to taunt. “I do.” She answers simply. I can hear the pain in her voice. I should probably stop, but I have a thing for hurting peop

When I reach the hallway leading to the throne room, I meet Ryder and Colton on the way with the same confused expression on their faces. “What the hell is going on?” Colton asks seriously as they both approach me. This is one thing I love about my brother, Colton. If his people are in danger, he will stop at nothing to protect them. “Master!” Some guards approach us at full speed. They look like they saw a ghost.“Speak. Now!” I command.“The slavery organization was apparently attacked master. It was the vampires Master. They took humans. The slavery organization’s pet master knows more about what happened. He awaits you in the throne room.”My eyes almost bulge out of my skull at the news. Vampires? In the werewolf nation? And

I let out a deep sigh and take a seat, massaging my forehead. “What do we do Damon?” Colton insists irritating me a little. “I don’t know Colton.” I say sounding defeated. “I’m trying to think.” “Well while you’re trying to think, the vampires who attacked us must have arrived at their hideout by now. They have humans now and they won’t be stupid enough to kill them. They’ll keep them alive to feed from them which means they have an unlimited supply of blood now. And if the Vampire lord is still alive, I hope you see the problem this poses for us Damon.” He asserts. “Don’t you think I know that Colton?” I reply uninterestedly as I keep massaging my forehead trying to think of a way to solve this mess. “I say we attack. We shouldn’t wait for the vampire Lord to get strong enough to attack us first. I say we take the fight to him and defeat him. Just like last time. We even have

I started asking Morgana to massage me after a month of having her as a pet.She hesitated the first few times, probably by how repulsed she gets when she’s close to me. She does it naturally now, not because she’s comfortable being around me now.I think she likes to fantasize about all the ways she would like to hurt me. I can see it in her eyes. Her hands are soft on my skin but her facial expressions say something completely different. She hates me, as she should.Her massages are something I’ve gotten used to. They do nothing to ease the pain in my muscles though. Her hands are too soft for that. It has just become a routine for me now.I speak rudely to her not because I want to, but because that’s how a master should treat their pet. I don’t gain any pleasure from seeing humans in pain anymore, es

The werewolf nation thrived as Ryder was names the new Alpha. It was normally supposed to be Colton because he was the beta and next in line, but they all agreed Ryder was more suitable for the title. After all Ryder was more intelligent that Colton was when it came to matters as such. Ryder was more compassionate and just generally a better person, Colton concluded. And although, Colton is a better person today, he still needs a lot of work before he can f

Evil should not have a place in this world. A world which contains someone as beautiful as Morgana. She was the light to my darkness. She is everything I ever hoped for. Although it was short-lived, I adored every moment spent with her. She came into my life and taught me something powerful, something that changed my entire life’s trajectory. In a cruel, and wicked world, she taught me a better way to live. She taught me how to love. I couldn’t believe it first, when my feelings for her were reciprocated with such a willingness to forgive me. I was almost tempted to take back everything I said to her because I didn’t feel I deserved her. She was too much light for me and I was scared my darkness would poison her. I still have no idea how she was ever able to forgive me for what I did to her. I still cannot believe th

You fucking killed her!” He screams at me standing up from the ground and pointing his index finger angrily at me.“All she wanted to do was get justice and you killed her Morgana.” Warren falls to his knees. “Why did you kill her?” He sobs and falls to his knees to the ground.I can tell he has no fight in him anymore. He knows everything is over now and he knows he has lost. Putting up a fight will be foolish of him. Besides, I am not in the mood to have small talk with him or fight with him about something we have spoken about a million times.

If I can keep her out of castle grounds then I won’t hold back.

There’s a path that leads directly towards the castle gates and hopefully, there won’t be a lot of guards guarding it so we can get it open with no problems.We reach an opening and make it onto the castle grounds not too far away from the main gate. I can see guards stationed at random spots eyeing nothing in particular. They all look dead an empty, under Chloe’s abominable spell. “They’ll be fine. Damon and Morgana are both smart and strong. Nothing is going to happen to them.” I say to Ryder, our voices barely above a whisper to avoid drawing attention to ourselves.“Are you saying that to convince me or yourself?” Ryder asks.“What does it matter Ryder? They’ll be fine, I know it.” I say getting irritated by his tone. I can’t even begin to thin or imagine that something might go wrong with Damon and Ana. I need them to come back alive.

Morgana and I are supposed to distract Chloe and try to break her spell on the others while Colton and Ryder find a way to break the gates open and evacuate the humans. There are two options. We either find a way to get Chloe out of the castle so that everyone remains unharmed and take the fight far away. But if that’s not possible then that will leave us with the second option. Fighting right here in the castle and evacuating as many humans as we can. Morgana thinks she can get Chloe out with a teleportation spell but I don’t know if she’s strong enough to manage a spell like that again. She just teleported us back here and I don’t know if it is wise for her to do another teleportation spell in such a short time rang

This entire war has put a strain on our relationship and I miss him so much. I can see how stressed he is.

He has a habit of getting things done himself and I really wish sometimes he would open up about somethings. He just tries so hard to be strong for everyone and he doesn’t let anyone see how much he struggles. “Hey.” I say walking up to him as he dresses up, and I can’t help but think that in all the months I have known Damon, I have never seen him in any attire quite like this one. It adds a bit of seriousness to his aura and I know I shouldn’t be thinking about it now but he literally looks the most handsome and sexiest I have ever seen him.
