“Maya…” The girl turned away from the window when she heard her name being called. She kept looking at the door, her hands hanging nervously at her sides. Since she called him that night a week ago; she found herself in another place. “There you are. Why didn’t you answer?” Thomas stepped into the lavish living room. He was dressed in a very expensive suit and a blood red shirt. He was a completely different man then the one whom she discovered in the Cemetery. “Hi,” she answered nervously. “Are you okay Maya?” he now stood right in front of her reaching out to take hold of her hands. He softly brushed with his lips over the texture of her skin. Again, those little sparks of instant attractions. He has such a gentle look in his eyes that the very look simply pulled her closer to him. “I am not sure Thomas,” she answered softly. “Talk to me and tell me what’s wrong.” “This might seem silly especially saying out loud.” “Maya, be honest with me.” “You know I grew up living in a c
“Maya may I tell you something? It’s silly, called it cliché but I want you to know this.” “I am curious.” She still nestles securely against his chest. In truth she never truly craves human touch but everything is so different yet natural with him. “I had watch you grow into the beautiful person that you are. I think I realized the truth from my being when you turned eighteen. I found absolute pleasure in watching you smile, the way the corners of your lips curves.” Maya blushed but said nothing. His hand lay softly across her heart. He can feel the strong beating. She suddenly felt his lips against her neck softly kissing the artery there. “Are you hungry Maya? I noticed lately that you don’t eat much.” He kept his arms tightly around her body. He was aware of all her emotions but he kept them to himself. “I don’t have much of an appetite.” “Why is that?” “I feel nervous…uncertain. The truth is I am not sure what to make of my future.” Her finger start caressing the enchanted
Thomas stood in front of the window holding a glass of blood. He drinks thoughtfully thinking about the girl who brought a strange change within him. The times when he was amongst humans; he found them self-centered after what he had given them. “I want an explanation Thomas.” Adam Blake was furious. The man who just appeared in his office earlier stood motionless drinking his blood. He wasn’t even listening. He slowly turned to watched the man he found on the back-alley scrambling to survive. He had given him a life but now looking back he certainly doesn’t appreciate what he had become. “I don’t own you anything.” He drinks the last drop of blood. His bluesish eyes almost white before changing colors. The continuous changing of shades the result of his thoughts. He slowly went and sit down in the chair. The look in his eyes burning the other man. “I don’t understand your current behavior.” Adam said flatly. “You know I could throttle you if I want to.” Thomas observed casually.
Gia sits motionless in the darkest corner of the gardens. Since she had slipped away from the doctor, she holds onto the photo like it’s the most precious thing. She treasures the little paper pretending its her daughter she was holding against her heart. She can feel her heart beat throbbing in her throat as her thoughts wanders back to that day in Doom Cemetery.“Maya…” her voice just a whisper. She only nursed her baby for seven days before she left and never looked back.“Bastard,” she hissed while remembering her husband. “You are the reason I didn’t see my child growing up. Now after many years; the first time I see her is on a photo taken by an outsider.” Silent tears stream down her face. After sometime she finally looked at the cell number scrawl down on the back of the photo. Turning the photo around to look at the face so similar to her own.“Would you answer if I call?” she asked the girl who only slightly smile while looking past the camera. It appears she wasn’t aware of
“Maya, you date is nearly here.” William called from the living room.“I am almost finished.” She currently stood looking at herself in the mirror. She was shock at her own appearance. What was holding her attention was her eyes that continuously keep changing colors. She slowly reaches out to touch the wavy texture of her hair. The curls softly touch her shoulders.She suddenly shut her eyes before stepping away from the mirror. She was having the overwhelming feeling of being self-conscious. She took the little black purse slipping her phone inside along with her lip balm.The moment she stepped into the living room the doorbell ring. William looked at her before briefly kissing her on the checks. He then went and opened the door allowing Thomas entrance. He stood aside allowing them privacy.“Good evening Maya.” He briefly kissed her on the back of her hand before handing her the single red rose. “You look stunning, my dear.”She silently took the rose enjoying the fragrance for a
Billy Asher kept looking at his watch. He was anxious and a bit uncertain. It took much effort but he managed to make the call. He kept rubbing his arms as there was a chill in the air. Doom always was a strange place. That year when he and Gia escaped through here it never even occurs to him that his father might possible be living here.He looks up when a chair was being pulled from beneath the table. William sit down.“What do you want?”“Thanks for coming Dad.” Billy looked uncomfortable under the direct look.“I ask again, what do you want? If you are still looking for money you are knocking at the wrong door.”“I am sorry Dad,”“I don’t believe you.”“I was frightened and reacted badly.”“It’s no excuse. We both know given the time you will do this again. If apology is the only thing you wanted to say, excuse me.” William start to rose from his chair.“Dad, please.”William looked at his son displeasure washing over his face. He slowly sits down again. He called the waiter and o
“Gia, talk to me.” Doctor Stone carefully helped her to sit down on the couch.She looked at her hands for a long time. It was becoming clear she was allowing pain from the past to reflect on her face.“I once was a different person.” She said softly.“What do you mean?”Gia slowly looked up into his face. She smiled softly.“Do you have kids?”“A daughter. She is twenty-three years old.” Doctor Stone answered honestly.“Same age as my Maya. I don’t know anything about her.” a single tear stream down her face.“Gia I only need to get a pen to sign you out of this hospital. Just say the word.”“Where would I go?”“I can make arrangements for you until you found your feet. Who do you trust?”“My father-in-law.” She suddenly stood and circle the office. “I once was part of a twin. We were Gia and Mia.”“Where is she now?”“Dead, doctor Stone. I tried stepping into her shoes to find the killer but instead I made a mess of my own life.”“Start from the beginning Gia. Tell me the story of G
John Stone looked up when he becomes aware there was someone at his door. He sits there watching as the door carefully opened before revealing Adam Blake. This was a man he despises but need to keep close to him…“Why did you ask me here?” he just seemed in a foul mood.“We need to talk.”“You could have come to my place.” Adam hates hospitals.“We need privacy.”“Why?”“Your past made an appearance in Doom.”“What do you mean?” Adam looked concerned. He can’t afford his skeletons making themselves known. Thomas Roman wasn’t in hibernation.“You remember the game we tried to play?” John asked careful.“What are you talking about?”“Valley of the sun…Mia and Gia…”“What about them? They are dead?”“I saw one part of them recently in Doom. I am just not certain which one.”“It must be Gia because Mia is dead.”John looked carefully at the man who could still after all these years talked about someone being dead as the most natural thing.“What do you remember Adam?”“The first time alwa
Maya and Gia left the Stone Estate together. There currently were an awkward silence between them. They found there way out the gates now walking in the middle of the road. Maya was very worried about Thomas. Since they were separated not once did, she managed to contact him.“May I ask something?’ she stop walking a moment looking at the woman who was her mother by name but in reality, a stranger.“I am listening.” Gia keep her voice neutral.“Did you see Thomas? Is he okay?”“No…he is trapped.”“Did he harm you?”Gia looked directly at her a slight frown between her eyes. “Do you fully realize who he truly is?”“A vampire, yes.”“Did you see him transform?” Gia asks hesitantly.“What are you trying to say?”“I am just wondering if you truly know who he is?” Gia start walking.Maya watch her with mix feelings. In truth she only knows what Thomas told her. He managed to kept her away from who he truly was. Right from the first he decided to behave like he once did as a human. For her
“Maya…” Gia slowly opened her eyes hearing the name slipped over her lips. She realized she had fallen asleep on the cold floor. Slowly shifting into a sitting position, she tried looking around. She realized the lightening was better in the room. Now focused she looked around to understand her surroundings.The bedroom was trashed but it appears as though she was alone. Slowly getting onto her feet she opened her hand, the ring still nestled in her palm.She slowly walked towards the door and turned the doorknob. It opened. Stepping outside she was now in the hall going downstairs. The mansion was eerily quiet. As she approached the front door the butler suddenly made an appearance.“Can I help you?” he asked politely.Gia turned to face the man dressed in black looking gloomy. A feeling of instant annoyance washes over her body. “No,” she said snappishly.“It is y duty to be of assistance ma’am.”Gia only square her shoulders and opened the front door stepping outside. The sky looks
Maya looked at the sleeping Sylvia. She had carefully covered her body with a blanket. She noticed over time the other woman seemed to look better but has develop a cold that she can’t seem to shake.She grabbed the jacket she found in the closet. Very carefully she slipped out the front door but quickly stop in her steps. She noticed the car parked across the road. A man was quickly climbing out. She steps back into the house but the man still comes closer. He wore a confused expression on his face. Looking intently, he appeared to be familiar.“Don’t close the door,” the man said sharply.Maya stood still her hand holding the door waiting as he approached. Once the man stood in front of her he suddenly seemed to relaxed. “What are you doing in my house?” He asked surprise.Maya looked inside but noticed Sylvia was still sound asleep. She faced the man again. She frowns as he clearly seemed relaxed and this puzzles her.“Who are you?” she asked carefully.“Johnny Burns,” he said comi
William, Billy and Gia Asher stood in front of the huge black gates looking at the massive mansion. It was quite a mission getting away from the Cemetery.Gia moved forward and rings the bell. The guards immediately made an appearance. One-man step forward. There was nothing friendly about them, just severe looking with apparent danger edge onto their expressions.“State your business?”“Thomas Roman or Maya Asher please.” Gia said forthright.The man looked at her for a long time. When it was clear she won’t flinch, he reaches for cell phone. A brief conversation before the gates opened. They were escort to the front door. The butler opens the door. He steps forward reaching for Gia.“Welcome ma’am.”The men followed Gia inside.“Where is my daughter?” Gia found herself in a lavish living room.“Please wait here. I will call the Master.” The man was gone closing the door behind him.“I don’t like this,” William observed.“Why?” Gia looked at her father-in-law.“I am not sure, but som
“Maya, where are you?”The guard unlock the cell. The place stinks. He hates always being the one sends to get the girl. She always stays hidden forcing him to went deeper in search of her. Taking a deep breath, he left the door slightly ajar.Maya watching him from the dimness of the cell. Her eyes have adjusted to the lightning making it possible for her to time him once he shuffled past her. The frail woman with her holds tightly onto her wrists. She can feel the fear making her body shakes.The guard bend to check some of the other women. Taking this moment, she grips Sylvia tightly carefully reaching the door.“Hey, wait.” The guard aware that the door was pushed wider turning just in time to see it being pushed shut. Maya turned the key. “Open this door,” he yelled. “No, get away,” he yelled again.“Sylvia…”“I am here,” she whispers trying to focus on the light.Maya looked down the corridor. She can’t remember how long she was here. Her mind very fuzzy. The focus point finds a
“Gia, where are you?” Billy Asher quickly unlock his apartment door. He briefly looked behind himself but noticed no one. He just knew its only a question of time before they track him down.“Where are you?’ he asked harshly locking the door behind him. He found his heavily pregnant wife slowly getting of the bed. “Why aren’t you ready?” he yelled in a control voice.“What’s going on Billy?” she reached for the half full glass of water. Once she finished drinking, she slowly struggles onto her feet. She makes her way to the small bathroom.“How do you feel?” Billy asked but clearly was anxious.“I feel like crab. What’s going on?”“We have to move.” He said hastily moving to start packing.“What did you do? I can’t go running around Billy. My date is very near.” Gia glared at him. Watching him move about the apartment, the thought occur to her again, she doesn’t regret loving him but to have married him was a big mistake. At first, he had a descent job which he lost when the schemes s
Thomas stepped through the portal. He found himself in the Cemetery in the year 2000. He wipes the fresh blood from his lips. He slowly looked around. Everything was eerily still almost like nature was waiting for something to happened.“Stop,” he heard the voice behind him. Turning to see who it was. He noticed the man in the appearance of a priest. After just looking at him he realized there was nothing holy about him.“Who are you?” he asked casually.“I am the Pastor.” He steps closer searching for something with the depths of the clothes he wore.“Why did you stop me?” Thomas moved so fast the Pastor barely managed to follow him. He already discovered what was hidden within the clothes. When the darkly dressed man blinked his eyes, he noticed the creature still seem to stand in the same spot.“You did something…what was it?” he asked suspiciously.“I don’t have time for your nonsense.” Thomas moved so fast he was gone before the Pastor even realized. Rushing past the cottage that
Gia-Mia anxiously waits for her sister. It has been days since she last saw her. She can sense something was wrong but not sure what. She kept circling the bedroom they shared. About to go and question some of the other servants the door suddenly opened. She immediately stood motionless just waiting to see who would come through the door.The creepy butler and the driver both dragged Amelia inside dropping her down on the bed. Both men sense her but can’t see her. They both looked at the unconscious woman through whose clothes blood were seeping.“We can’t just leave her like this?” the driver seemed uneasy.The butler simply shrugged his shoulders. He turned to leave. The other man kneels looking for a pulse. He stood looking around the bedroom. “Is someone there?” he asked softly.“What happened?” Gia-Mia whispered in his ear.“Where are you?” The driver instantly alert searching but there was no one. He felt the whisper close to his ear again.“The Mistress punished her. She was of
Thomas was raking the leaves in the back of the villa’s gardens. He had been here just over a week but since the warning from Amelia he didn’t see her again. There appear to be no sign of the Mistress too. The driver just told him to keep the grounds in the back neat.He stops a moment reaching for the water. While he was drinking, he suddenly heard the noise of giggling. He stops drinking looking for the reason for the sound. He finally noticed them. A couple of servant girls looking at him from between rose bushes.“Hello,” he said carefully.The girls laughed and disappeared again.He shrugged his shoulders before going back to work. After a moment he heard the giggling again. He stops looking up when he now noticed two has turned into four girls. He suddenly smiled making the girls disappeared again. He quickly realized it was a kind of game for them.“Don’t get them in trouble,” another speaks from somewhere else. He looked around but see no one.“Where are you?” he asked softly.
