MELISSA’S POV.I fell to the floor, and some of my things fell down as well, including my bed side drawer, and then I saw the wrist band, lying on the floor.~Flashback~“This will come in handy, take it.”I hoped that this was what she was talking about, and I tried to reach it on the floor, but I was too weak to reach out to it. The pain of my bones, cracking, was weakening me by the moment, and it seemed as if my human sense of reasoning was blurring away. “Oh, come on.” I muttered under my breath as I tried to reach it.My heart was beating fast in fear that Layla would see me like this and that I would hurt her. “Hey, Melissa.” She said, excitedly. “What are you doing on the floor?” She asked, in a low tone, looking baffled.“Uhm… I tripped, but I am fine.” I said as I stood up and began to pack my belongings.“I see. I never noticed the wrist band on your wrist. When did you get it?” She asked, looking at it out of curiosity.“Well, it was a gift. An old woman gave it to me,
MELISSA’S POV.I was so frightened, and couldn’t wrap my head around the situation. All along, Lee Ho was someone bad, and I didn’t know until he followed me to the ladies’ restroom. All of a sudden, he laughed and I was beginning to think he had gone crazy.“How was my acting skills?” “What do you mean?” I asked, looking baffled.“I’m sorry if I got you scared. Actually, I have always loved acting, but I was told that I wasn’t cut for it, so I decided to act without letting people know I am about to, so I could get from their reaction and their review if I acted well or not.” He said, with a smile.“What? You decided to get me scared, and even went to this extent of coming to the ladies’ restroom, all because you needed a review for acting skills? This isn’t acting, Lee Ho. It is craziness.” I said in anger and left the restroom.I picked up my bag and necessary documents, then left. Lee Ho ran after me, and stopped me.“Please Melissa. Listen to me. I know you are annoyed, right n
MELISSA'S POV.Fear gripped me, seeing as he wasn't moving. He had obviously fainted and I had to look for a way to revive him. It was weird seeing Stefan in an helpless state, but at least, I'm grateful he wasn't alone when this happened. ~I managed to flag down a cab, and the driver was nice enough to help me carry him into the cab."Thank you sir." I said as I sat in the car."You are welcome. It's no longer new to us. Many drink until they pass out." The driver said as he started the car.He had thought Stefan drank to stupor. I couldn't bring myself to tell him he had fainted. I actually didn't know what to do, because in one of the werewolf books I had stumbled upon when I was younger, it was actually risky to take them to the hospital, because the doctors would find out that there was something abnormal about them.Thankfully, when we got to my house, the driver helped me to take him to my bedroom. "Thank you so much." I appreciated him and tipped him off at the entrance.I
MELISSA'S POV.It was nice, listening to different collaborations on the project we were going to launch. How exciting it was to be in the midst of people who were good at what they do. Although, a few years back, I had never imagined myself, working at Stefan's Design Company, but I guess I was just lucky.Now that I think about it, the interviewer wasn't really interested in my work and didn't seem like she was going to give me a job, but then a word was sent to her and she said I should thank the higher ups instead. Could it be that Stefan saw me when I was getting interviewed and decided to give me a free pass?No, I shouldn't see it as a free pass. He truly loved my work and also probably accepted me to work for him, because he saw me as Jana. This thought drifted me to what has happened, last night.~flashback~He held me even more close after telling me to allow myself to feel this.“I love you. And I know you do, too.” He said, softly, with his eyes, shut.My eyes widened in
STEFAN'S POV.I was shocked to see his reaction. If he smirked, it means it didn't work on him, and if it didn't work on him, it meant that he is supernatural? Suddenly, his expression changed. He looked clueless. Could it be that as my body is gradually turning into a spirit, taking my strength away, my vamp powers could be weakening too? Oh, no. That won't be good, at all. Since I found Melissa, I have had to use my vamp powers more than often."Uhm.... I'm sorry boss, but I'm kind of lost." He said, looking baffled."I do not understand. What do you mean?" I acted clueless."I know this might sound absurd, but I do not remember being called here.""Since when did you start pulling pranks on me? This is unlike you, Mr. Edward. Or the respect i have accorded you has gotten to your head?" I pretended to look a bit offended."I'm sorry, boss. Uhm may I know what you called me for?" "Never mind." I said as I walked out.I went back to the conference room and met Melissa pacing around
MELISSA’S POV.I watched as Layla called Stefan and my bones continued to crack. I felt really scared and thought I was going to die.“I’m scared, Layla.” I said and then a serious bone crack occurred which caused me to growl hard.Layla looked really scared and she was in tears as she managed to run out of the room. This got me excited. My meal threw in a challenge and I was ready to chase her around the house, if that was what she wanted.I ran after her until she got to the sitting room, panting heavily. As she unlocked the door, I pounced on her and threw her to the sofa.“Melissa, please spare me. What has gotten into you?” “You have the wrong name, miss. I am Jana.” I said, with a sharp growl.Then I moved at a fast speed towards her, and picked her up. I slammed her against the wall and pinned her neck to the wall, with a smirk on my face.“How does it feel to look death in the eye?” I smile enjoying the fear in her eyes.I watched as she choked and I tilted my head, left and
STEFAN’S POV.While I sat in the sitting room, sipping the blood I poured into a glass cup, I scrolled through my phone. I had planned to finish my drink before Melissa came back as I wouldn’t want her, feeling even more cringe, seeing me drink blood like it was nothing.I gulped it down in one go and then I heard her screams. I immediately ran up the stairs at a very fast speed, but was flustered, seeing her naked.“Uhm… What’s wrong?” I asked as I took my eyes, off her.“A demon. It’s in the bathroom.”“Oh, no. Not my bathroom.” The demons’ blood was really annoying and I wondered why they spilled blood. There were just a lot of things in the supernatural world that are still left, unexplained. But I understood. If not, I wouldn’t have kept mute without telling Melissa who exactly gave her that wrist band. I also was baffled as to the reason she gave her. The moon goddess had graced her with a visit, which was a rare experience.I snapped back to reality, and threw Melissa, a blan
STEFAN’S POV.I got to Melissa’s house, but her door was shut tight, and so, I decided to pass through the window. I rushed to her room, only to find the demon about to pierce her. I growled and charged at it.The demon looked at me and then left Melissa, then also charged at me. It was a cruel fight between us and I had gotten several injuries from it, and it was weakening me by the second. I knew I had to kill it before I dropped dead or something. Fortunately, I managed to kill it.“Are you okay?” Melissa asked me, looking worried.“Why wouldn’t I be okay? We have completed this part of our mission.” I gave a slight smile, trying to hide my pain.Then the wandering spirit appeared.“Well-done both of you. But you have to leave this place, right this instant. The portal that would transport you to the ghost world would start closing up, since you have killed the demons.”“Why the heck is it that way?” “Because it is a challenge. Now, off you go.”The wandering spirit disappeared a
