My mum settled beside me on the bed, her eyes scanning the maths homework scattered before us. The soft glow of the bedside lamp cast a warm light on our faces, illuminating the faint lines of concern etched on my mum's forehead. "I wish I could help, but everything looks so strange to me. Lots of numbers. I remember when I used to help you with your school assignments. You were so little back then and so very cute..."

A warmth spread through my face as I felt my cheeks flush with embarrassment. I looked down, my long, curly brown hair cascading around me like a veil, hiding my bright blue eyes. My slender fingers drummed a staccato beat on the bedspread as I pouted, "But ain't I still cute now, mum?"

My mum's expression turned serious, her eyes sparkling with mirth. "No, you are not," she said, her voice firm but teasing. My face fell, my eyes drooping in mock sadness. "Mumm!" I exclaimed, my voice tinged with disappointment.

My mum's face softened, her eyes filled with warmth. "What

    Author's POV As Mr. Daniel stood in the darkness, he strained to locate the source of Mrs. Iyama's voice. Her words seemed to emanate from all directions at once, making it impossible for him to pinpoint her location. "Why are you here?" she asked, her voice low and mysterious.Mr. Daniel's eyes darted about the room, but the darkness remained absolute. He took a step forward, his hands extended in front of him like a blind man feeling his way. "Great one, I am here to see you. I need your help," he said, his voice filled with a mix of respect and desperation.Mrs. Iyama's response was immediate, her voice weaving in and out of the shadows. "You shouldn't be here. You won't get what you seek for here." Mr. Daniel's face set in determination, he took another step forward, his eyes straining to pierce the darkness. "Please, I need your help, Great one. I know I shouldn't have come into this room and invaded your privacy, but I am desperately in need of your help. You are the most power

    Back at the Vampire Brothers' LayerNathan's eyes narrowed, his voice taking on a slightly accusatory tone. "Where did he go?" he asked, his gaze fixed intently on Abigail.Abigail shifted uncomfortably under Nathan's scrutiny, her eyes darting between him and Eden. "I don't know, he didn't tell me where. He just dressed up and said he had to go do something really quick and that he won't be long before he gets back," she replied, her voice hesitant.Eden leaned back in his chair, his eyes never leaving Abigail's face. "And for how long has he been gone?" he asked, his tone calm and relaxed.Abigail's eyes flicked to the clock on the wall before returning to Eden. "Well, about an hour or so. I think an hour and 30 minutes," she replied, her brow furrowed in concern.Nathan's eyes flashed with anger, his jaw clenched in an effort to keep his temper in check. "And he said he won't take too long in returning? I don't know, but an hour and 30 minutes seems quite a long time to me, or does

    Pearl's POVI sat down silently with my parents in the dining room having my dinner. The food was tasty and sweet as usual. All thanks to super mum's amazing cooking skills.However, though the food was delicious and all I found myself not having much of an appetite and it was due to thinking, negative thinking I should say.I don't know why my mind chose to replay what happened in school today, concerning Eden and Nicole exactly this time when I should be enjoying mum's amazing food.Well Eden is always in my mind so I don't mind thinking about him all day long but not Nicole. I don't like the fact I am thinking about her and feeling jealous.I just can't help myself, I don't like seeing Nicole so close to Eden, not after what I heard her and her friends discussing about seducing Eden and making him her's.I have to stop her from going through with her plans but what if Eden does like her? I mean I can remember how happy he looked when she was flirting with him, he never looks that h

    “Then why go for a way more inferior blood in both taste and nutrient? Or have you guys developed a soft spot for the humans since you now go to school with them," Abigail said that last part in a mockery way and it got Nathan on the edge.“Trust me there exists no soft spot for humans in my heart, not even witches or vampires." He said and Eden stepped in.“I believe my brother and your boyfriend Kyle have made mention of the reason for our choice of diet."“The Twin vampire hunters?" Abigail said with a confused look.“Yes, it's because of the twin hunters.They are the reason why we can't drink human blood, at least not here where we live." Eden said.“Those two idiots, always ruining my fun." Nathan said, not really a fan of Dracko and Gracko“I get the deadly twins have been after you guys for like half a century now but how exactly are they the cause of your unusual diet? I mean they are very far away, only God nowhere exactly and it's not like they would know when you guys consu

    Author's POV[ 80 years ago ]“Hurry up, you will be late for the concert," Eden announced as he made his way into the large room where his brothers Nathan and Kyle were busy getting dressed in their fancy suits.“Almost done," Kyle said as he worked on his neck tie in front of the large standing mirror.“How do I look?" Nathan who had dressed up completely with the exception of his shoes asked his brother, Eden for his opinion.“You look like a handsome vampire without shoes." Eden mocked, earning a smile from Nathan.“A very handsome vampire you mean," Nathan bragged and Eden rolled his eyes slightly.“Just wear your shoes already. I won't forgive the both of you if I should miss this concert even if it's just a minute," Eden said to the amazement of his brothers..“I know she is Angelina and has an amazing voice but don't you think you are overreacting in this?" Kyle said.“Definitely overreacting," Nathan supported his brother, Kyle's thought.“I am not overreacting. I don't expec

    “I am sorry but I am with Kyle on this," Eden said to the dissatisfaction of Nathan.”Come on!" Nathan threw his hands in the air.“Are you kidding me right now? Are you siding with him??"“Making any rush move on the twins now will be very on wise because for the first time in this game we have the advantage. They don't know we know their secret and weakness and it's best we keep it that way until we dish them a fatal strike that they won't see coming and that can only be achieved by proper planning because if we should rush and attack them without much plan and it's not as successful as we have hoped the twins might detect our strategy and know we have found out there weakness and it will be very hard to defeat them base on that weakness because they will be expecting us to explore that strategy again."Eden was calm in giving his brother a reply.“Whatever, I should have known you will always support him." Nathan said irritatedly walking away.Although Nathan saw a lot of sense in

Eish," he said in a mocking but funny way and it got Kyle and Abigail giggling...“Take care, love...The three brothers, Kyle, Nathan and Eden made their way quietly into the woods to hunt for their meal. It didn't take them long enough before they sighted a fitting prey. A healthy, young stag munching on the dry, green grasses at a distance...“Look over there, isn't he beautiful?" Eden said as he was the first to spot the deer.“This will do just fine. I bet it has enough blood to feed 3 hungry vampires." Kyle said and they got themselves ready to catch, kill and drain in completely of his blood.Normally it won't take up a minute for the brothers to catch and kill the deer as it stands no chance competing with them in speed.However Nathan was in his mischievous mood and he thought of something evilly spicy..“How about we play a little game of chase?".Kyle wanted

    It was a very beautiful sight back in the days and I use to wish I could just be like one of the butterflies, flying and playing around with the rest of the butterflies. So that's why Kaleb started calling me Little Butterfly.I loved the name back then but now it feels kinda weird.”What are you doing here?" I whispered to him and he smiled softly.I took some seconds to study him. He has grown taller than I knew him to be, much taller and a lot handsome with his dark long hair. His hair was never this long before but now they are exceeding his shoulders just like a girl even though it fit him perfectly.I must say he is looking really good but what is he doing here, exactly?? I still don't know...“Kaleb, my son. What a pleasant surprise, we were just discussing about you not too long ago," my dad said visibly happy.“A very pleasant surprise indeed," Mum was full of smiles.“Good day Mr Silver, you are looking really good I must say. I am really happy to see you."Kaleb said, causi

    As the twin hunters emerged from the shadows, Eden's expression transformed in an instant. His eyes darkened, and his jaw clenched, as he swiftly positioned himself between Pearl and the hunters."What do we have here?" Eden growled, his voice low and menacing.Gracko sneered, his eyes flicking to Pearl. "Eden, and it seems he has a little snack with him."Dracko's smile was pure evil, sending a shiver down Pearl's spine.Eden's gaze never wavered from the hunters. "I'm sorry, Pearl, that I brought you here. I didn't mean for you to be harmed."Pearl's confusion was evident, but before she could ask any questions, Dracko's voice cut through the air."We're going to kill her, and then you'll lead us to your brothers."Pearl's eyes dilated in terror as she realized the hunters' intentions. Eden's reaction was instantaneous."Over my dead body will I allow that," he snarled, his fangs bursting forth from his gums.Pearl's gasp was audible, but to her surprise, she didn't feel fear. Inste

    Pearl's POV As I stepped into the musty darkness of the old house, a shiver ran down my spine. We used to call it the Ghost House when we were kids, and the memories of our childhood fears came flooding back. Kaleb, however, seemed undeterred, his flashlight casting eerie shadows on the walls as he searched for the mysterious package sent by his uncle."Why would your uncle send a package here, of all places?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. The house seemed to swallow sound, making me feel like I was speaking into a void.Kaleb shrugged, his eyes scanning the dusty floorboards. "I have no idea. But I'm going to find out."As he continued his search, memories of our childhood adventures came flooding back. We used to dare each other to knock on the door, to see if the "ghosts" would answer. Now, as I looked around at the cobweb-covered chandeliers and the faded wallpaper, it all seemed kinda silly. There were no ghosts, just a creepy old house that seemed to have been left

"You're still asking me that? After all these years? I don't know any brothers! I swear, I don't know what you're talking about!"Gracko sneered, his face twisted in a cruel smile. "Save it, Maxwell. We know you're hiding something. You're just not remembering yet."Maxwell's frustration boiled over. "I'm telling you, I don't know any brothers! You have to believe me! I'm not lying!"Dracko chuckled, a cold, mirthless sound. "We'll see about that. Gracko, why don't you help refresh Maxwell's memory?"Gracko's eyes lit up with sadistic glee as he began to inflict pain on Maxwell. Maxwell's screams echoed through the car pack, but Gracko just laughed, his eyes gleaming with excitement.Finally, unable to bear the pain any longer, Maxwell begged, "Please, stop!

I asked and Kaleb just smiled.“To get the package my uncle sent to me, remember?"He answered in a smooth manner then came down off the vehicle.I also came out of the vehicle, slamming the door shut in a civil manner.“Yeah, I know that but why will your uncle have a package delivered to an unoccupied and abandoned building?" I was really trying to figure that out.Kaleb laughed softly, “Guess you don't know my uncle that much. He lives for the crazy things but he always has a reason for doing anything he does."“Really?"“Yeah, come with me." Kaleb said then started walking towards the building and I walked to meet up with him...I can't actually believe I am here again.

    I sprinted out of the nightclub, the pulsating music and strobing lights fading into the distance as I hit the cool night air. My heart racing, I could feel the twin hunters, Dracko and Gracko, closing in. Those two monsters had been a thorn in my side for decades.As I ran, my mind flashed back to the first time I encountered the twins. I stood in the dimly lit warehouse, surveying my operation with a sense of pride. It was 1968, and I, Maxwell, had built a lucrative empire in the city. My boys, a mix of vampires and humans, scurried about, loading crates of drugs onto trucks. The smell of cigarette smoke and sweat hung in the air, and the sound of laughter and music drifted from the back rooms.I addressed my top lieutenants, a group of rough-looking vampires with scars and tattoos. "Alright, listen up. The shipment needs to be offloaded at the docks by midnight. I want it done quietly, no fuss. We can't afford to draw attention to ourselves."One of my lieutenants, a burly vampire
