~ Chicago ~The whole city has always lived in quite, but least did they know something walketh among the humans at night. Eating and sucking on their bloods.But why is it taking too long? Why does the city feel calm while it isn't?Why is there no solution yet??And why has the government not done something about it??The government seem not to know what was actually happening, and... no one can tell how it happens.No proof to defend oneself even if one has to report what was actually happening. His thirst was growing day after day, minutes after minutes, and seconds after seconds.Just as Matilda cursed, “ And you Riga, will become a monster, a night creature an enemy of all humans. You will no longer feed on the earth's produce but on humans. You will be recognized as a demon, a night feeder and a blood sucker... Forever. You will find no love, for everyone who looks into your eyes shall see only death and horror. You will remain a monster forever and ever. ”Those curse still f
Stacy ✓I slapped myself for have sleeping so long, my head ache so much and I couldn't get to my feet even if I want to.Last night was the scariest night I have ever had since I was born. I can't believe I was even able to sleep with the threat given to me.The words are still echoing in my head right now, and I wish I had disappeared from the state entirely.I'm tired of being scared, I just wanna disappear that's all.I rubbed my eyes, staring at the wall clock.I know I was gonna go very late to work today, but I just hope Mr Kent won't have to yell the country upside down at me.I went back home, my own home, having a quick shower. I had my breakfast, and when I got to the door to leave, the incident appeared again.I remembered trying to escape but I couldn't, the door was locked. I also remembered his hand on mine, almost about to do the worst thing I wish not to imagine on me.Was last night meant to be the end of my world?Was I supposed to die by that creature's hand?Or is
( 10 Months Later )Elisa had put to bed a baby boy. He had everything of his father but had the eyes of his mother. He was the cutest thing she has ever had, and he wasn't that annoying whenever he cries.Two days ago, they returned back to Chicago. It's almost like a week since Stacy called Diana, informing her about the creature, and since then, he hasn't showed out yet.That's a relief...Now, that the city is back to normal, daily activities are being restored to it's normal schedules. Gideon has returned to his job so has Elisa too. They had dropped their baby at one of the kindergarten class not far from home.And Elisa would always go to the class at 2 o'clock to pick her child, and there was a newly appointed nanny who will have to take care of him till the day breaks.All thanks to Mr Kent, who hasn't stop being a father to her. When things acts to be tough, he was always there to make it get better." You're becoming more beautiful everyday, Elisa. " Stacy complimented." S
Elisa ✓It's okay, but it's not okay to say I'm okay with what is going on in town. I remembered having a lengthy nights without having my eyes closed just because I didn't want to stand the chance to staring at my nightmare.I also remember uncle Kent sending me on a five days break just because of him, and almost had me to go the chapel to onload my brain with the images of his face.Now I am forced to go back to those moments. What if Stacy was somehow right about what she said? What if my dream had been another version of reality different from Gideon's?What if he had come for her because she was also a witness in my dream? I dropped my baby in his little bed, while I laid on my bed. Gideon was having his shower, and the sound of water dropping kept me awake until he was done bathing.I know he was surprised to see me still awake, it's not my fault tho. I'm it trying to clear the thoughts off my mind." What is it, hun? " He asked." Nothing, just not feeling sleepy yet. " I sai
*We were quiet for the next thirty minutes, I guess. The little baby has been long gone to sleep. I was loving the sound of his breath, it was almost like a whisper.I would smile staring at him, and I wouldn't mind smiling till the rest of the night. Or even looking like an awkward clawn... I'm cool with that." We have to rest and continue the search tomorrow. " She said, adjusting herself as she slept beside her child." Good night. "" You know, we didn't get to know each other's name. " She reminded, " I'm Cathrine by the way. "" I'm Elisa. " I replied. " Good night, Elisa. "" Good night, Cat. "I went out to the almost destroyed balcony of the building, glaring at the moon. It looks pretty good to be in somewhere like this.I wondered how possible it was for one man... I mean, one creature to do such a thing. Everywhere looked like it was being affected by some natural forces or.. is there anyway he was fighting with this natural forces?Or am I just overthinking the whole t
Elisa ✓We got to a place even from a far we could feel the wild wind which blew around that environment." I think that's the our last destination. " Cat said as we made it more further." I can see it. " I exclaimed happily. There was a very wide portal at the dead end of the street.We've search all over the city for an exit but this was the only option we could find, so it's definitely my way out... our way out." Come on, let's walk faster. " She told me and we made it further to this portal.On getting there we made a stop. " Are you sure this is the right exit? " I asked, feeling a bit unsure." We've both gone everywhere and we've found no exit. Trust me, this is an exit."" Okay, on my count. I'll count to three and we both jump in there at the same time. Get it? "She nodded." Okay, on three, two, one, now! " I almost jumped when she held my hand." Wait. " I stared at her with a surprise look. Is there a problem?" What is it?" I asked." I... I don't think I can pass thro
I kept listening, for whosoever it was to leave the floor. My heart won't cease from racing and I was almost having a heart break for that.I heard the sound of the last door open, but the sound of moaning was something I couldn't hear. I shut my eyes, hoping that sleep will drive me away but it couldn't.It was really far from my eyes so, I'm left to witness what was actually happening. Thinking I was in the safest place, I never knew it was also a checking point for the killer outside.I hide behind the door with an object in my hand. Incase if he or she tries to attack, I'll first have his brain bursted out in pieces.I took in several air, exhaling heavily. The door knob bent down, and slowly the door opened. I watched the shadow of the figure walk in and I almost had the weapon on his head but he was quick to turn on the light.He was one of the doctors for the night shift. I paused, sighing heavily." Hello? " He called, and I dropped the weapon down to the ground. " Miss Mira,
" I'm sorry, Stacy. " I started." Sorry for what? "" For not listening to you. I know it's all my fault we are in this mess now, if I had listened to you, we could have been out of here for a long time. "" I wish I can hate you for this, Elisa, I really wish but I can't. "" Why? "" Because you're my friend, asshole. "" So, you aren't angry with me? " I asked." Of course not. Shh... " She shushed." What? " I asked like whisper." The sound, it's gone. " She told her." Are you sure or is it the usual pause and continue? "Stacy shrugged, " I guess so. " We started walking towards the coffin when I stepped on something sharp. I pointed my touch light to the ground, hissing at the rough pain under my leg.I was bleeding profusely, too much to leave a trail on the ground. " Are you alright? " Stacy asked, worried." No, this fucking hurts a lot. " I limped few steps closer when the box gradually opened itself, smoky dust accompanied.The whole creepy thing was becoming crazy to us
**And there's only one person who must have done this...I ran to my room, I first pulled myself into my clothes then as I began to wear Gerek his cloth, the door open and close.I stopped dressing Gerek, he was still half naked and the weather was becoming colder each second. " What do you want? " I asked him." It's time to go home, Bella. "I dropped the clothes on his body, turning to look at the notorious monster. I still don't know why every single time Mr Kent sends me for a break, dangerous things always happens.Why does he call me Bella? I can't remember coming across some one with that name before. And I definitely don't look like this Bella of a girl either, do I?" Bella, I've waited for so many years. I've searched every where around the world for you, and now I have found you, I don't think I need to keep searching. "He was close to touching my check when I backed away. " You've got the wrong girl, I'm not Bella. "" You don't have to explain it to me, I know who are
Elisa fell to the ground, he had drank more than enough from her than the previous time he tasted her blood. The loud sound of his hiss only made her heart beat the more.She thought he was gonna grab her again and drink another amount from her. " What do you want?" She asked faintly." You have what belongs to me. "Her eyes closed and open, her breath was dully as if she was losing air. " And the baby... "" Don't... Don't you dare touch my son. " She forced herself to shout. " He has nothing to do with you. " " Avril. "" Get away from him, you son of a bitch. "He turned his gaze at her, " Get ready, Bella, very soon, I'm taking us home. "She fainted...**Elisa sat on her desk, her hands touching the teeth scare on her neck. Mr Kent had call in for a doctor to check on her.She didn't want to tell any one a about the incident. And those words keeps echoing in her head. " Get ready, Bella, very soon, I'm taking us home. "And she keeps wondering who this Bella is. He had once c
Elisa ✓I watch as they took Gideon's body out of the ward to the mortuary room. I tried holding myself and accept it's all fate's doing.But instead, I ended up crying the more. Look, it's not that easy for me. What about Gerek? He's too small and innocent to experience his father's absence.I felt weak, scattered and alone. But thankfully I've got Stacy and uncle Kent, I won't have to feel so much of a loner.Gideon's memories flashed into my head. How we first met, all those times I never believed that I was in love with him. The momeries of our romance, back in Dubai and the rest of them.I can't just forget a thing about them. They made me smile each second I thought about it. Gideon was the sweetest thing I ever had in my life.The one person who got my heart beating, the one person who gave me the kiss of life. Who cleared my doubts and made me believe in real love. The father of my child.He was every thing I ever had. And every thing I will ever know." So, he's gone? Forever
" Amongst this five, there is some one so dear to you."" Elisa? " I asked as if she even know who Elisa is. But Elisa is the closest person to my heart, and I don't think I can stand the chance of losing her." Who's Elisa? " She asked, her eyebrows rose at me." She is my best friend since college. We work in the same company at Chicago. " I answered." This Elisa, is she married yet? " She asked again." Yes, she is. His name is Gideon. "" Hmmm. " She hummed, nodding her head." Is something wrong? " I asked, worried. I honestly don't like the way she hummed." Do they have a child? " She asked again, and I'll admit this was getting a lot creepy and suspicious." Yes. "Now, she was shooking her head. " This isn't fate. " She said to herself, but loud enough for me to hear it." What are you talking about? " I asked, "What isn't fate? "" Their marriage, that wasn't fate for them. Among this two, one will die. And it's either Elisa, or her husband Gideon. "" No, no that's not hap
Stacy ✓" Hold on," I paused her. " you mean he died here in Chicago? "" Yes," she nodded her head at her. " So, he still thinks the one he loves still lives. I think on the other hand, he is searching for her. "" But it's almost like centuries now, why would he think she's still alive? " I asked." I don't know. There's got to be a way to end him. " She muttered to herself." Did it say how? "She shook her head. " She said the curse will first have to come to pass before a solution comes up. "" A solution as in, to change him back to a human? "" No, to stop him from feeding. "" Don't you have any idea on how to stop it? You are a witch too, you should know. "After a thoughtful while, she said. " I've experienced things a bit related to this and likewise I've read them on stories and movies too. So, I think the only way to end this creature is Love.He has lost his lover, but he still thinks she is alive. So, to end it is for him to fall in love. "" How is that possible? You k
Writer ✓Stacy had left to Canada earlier the next day. She had informed her aunt the previous day about her visiting which she permitted her to come over.Although, she didn't have to go in details on phone to explain her reasons for coming over to the state for a sudden visit.She felt like her aunt might have known already. And besides, she is a witch, right? Witches read the mind.As soon as Stacy left the airport, she quickly boarded a taxi which drove her to her aunt's place. Stacy had nothing with her except from her handbag and her cell phone with some certain things she found not so reasonable.She has forgotten her aunt's house but still knew her street location. She kept on asking passer bys and some store holders if they knew the name Felicia. That was her aunt's name.Some would say no, while others would say they were new to the City. Stacy felt frustrated and stranded as she didn't know where and how to get the actual location of her aunt.Some one tapped her from the b
My head hurts due to the stress I had rendered to my brain. I can't get to think straight, cos everything in my head now tends to be interpreting nothing but the write up letter.Starting from the moment the two gentlemen left, I haven't taken my eyes off the paper that I almost forgot to pick Gerek from school.I pleaded with Stacy to go pick him up, while I sat my ass in my office, interpreting some kind of God language. Internet wasn't helpful this time, and I almost lost hope in finding an answer about this." What does this mean? " I asked myself. " This has to mean something. Mom, why didn't you explain this to me when you had the chance to? Why do you have to leave without passing the information to us? "I drummed my fingers on the desk frustratedly, staring at every corner of my room as if that will be of help. " Mother," I stressed the word. " You have to tell me what this means. You're our only hope. Just tell me, anything. Anyhow. Even if you can leave your grave to this p
With the millions of thoughts in my head, I didn't realize when I dozed off.**Writer ✓He touched her, waking her up from her slumber. She mumbled, grinding on her teeth as if she was eating something. He tapped her again, and she finally woke up.Staring around her room, she rubbed her eyes gently. She turned on the light, looking at her both sides to see her son and husband sleeping calmly. She smiled.She just realized how thirsty she was, so she got out of the bed heading straight to the kitchen for a glass of cold water. She was damn sure not to have heard the television on while she came out of her room.But halfway to the sitting room, she started hearing the sound of a movie playing. She stopped to listen. Was her ear playing with her brain this time?She continued to the sitting room, the television was indeed on. She went to the switch, turning it off before leaving to the kitchen for the cold glass of water.Pouring the water into the glass, she gulped it all in one sip.
Elisa ✓The doctor said I was gonna be fine but everyone keeps asking me if I recently recovered from an anemia diagnosis. And I keep giving them the same response day after day, " Yes. "What do you expect me to say? Nothing seems to be a good reply if not telling them the one good news they all wanna hear... Yes.I searched my drawer looking for nothing in particular. I have just taken a pain relief which seems to be calming the hot headaches. Since I was discharged, I've been feeling a little dizzy all the time. Sometimes I feel like passing out, and when this happens, I wonder if the doctor said the truth.Am I really okay? Or am I gonna turn and become a blood thirsty vampire like him?The constant stinging pain on my neck was a lot disturbing that I sometimes feel like having that part cut off. The teeth marks were totally gone but the scars could visibly be seen.And when it starts to itch, it's always like I'm gonna itch my neck out of my throat. And every morning when I wake
