A thousand miles away on a secluded island far from the city and towns, Clarice was wide awake, sitting on her bed in total darkness. She trembled in fear when the door opened. The light coming from outside flooded the dark room.

There she is...

Demetria, the bloodthirsty vampire, enters the room to feed on her blood again.

Clarice trembled in fear. This vampire will feed on her blood again and again, leaving her fearing for her life. She fears that one day she will die and never be able to escape this room alive because this vampire will drain her body dry.

Although Demetria saved her from drowning in the dark ocean, she was also feeding on her blood thrice a week.

Demetria snapped her hand and light flooded the room. "How are you today, dear?" she asked, coming closer.

"Please let me go home. My husband and my son are worried about me. They think I have died. Please set me free," Clarice begged desperately, tears flooding her eyes.

"Dear, I just want to let you know that your husban

    She was transported back in time when she was alone sitting on the sun lounger, enjoying the lovely night, waiting for her husband to arrive with their coffee.Then came the stranger, intentionally dropping his wallet on the floor and her nightmare began...Clarice felt her heart beat frantically when she realized that the stranger was no other than Kaspar. He took her off guard, froze her and lifted her body, throwing her into the water without mercy. When she hit the water she thought she would die. She can't do anything to help herself.She screamed, trying to ask for help, but no sound came out of her mouth. She felt her body falling deeper into the water, but to her surprise she resurfaced in the water again and, out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the cruise ship sailing away without her.Nobody saw her when she fell into the water. No one could help her, even her husband.Horrified by her hopeless situation, she will die alone in the freezing water. Her dead body will be eat

  • Rise Of The Fallen Luna   82. Hopeless Situation

    A week later.Clarice was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, pondering how her husband and son were doing back home. She knew her husband was already sick to death, worrying and thinking about her. Unfortunately, there is no way she can inform them that she is very much alive and has become a vampire's blood feeder.She desperately wanted to be home.But since it's been more than two months already since she vanished into the ocean, people would normally assume that she was already dead. She can't blame her husband and the rest of her family if they think that way. It is indeed extremely hard to survive alive in the vast ocean for someone like her who is physically weak.Sad to say, she is considered dead now in the eyes of many, including her family.Why is this happening to her again?Why do bad people always win in the end? Why can't the Moon Goddess favor her for once and punish those bad people on her behalf?She doesn't deserve this shitty fate!Despite the betrayal and s

  • Rise Of The Fallen Luna   83. Outside, at last!

    Demetria sighed. "Why are you looking at me like you are going to murder me? Are you mad at me? Why?"Clarice was about to lash out at her tormentor but realized at the last minute that no matter what she said, Demetria had her own mind. She wouldn't listen to her arguments at all. In Demetria's mind, she was her property and could do anything with her without feeling guilty."Why are you not answering me? Are you mad that you didn't see any chance of escape?" Demetria stated the obvious.Clarice bit her lip and nodded her head. "Yeah. I'm sad and mad, but what can I do? I'm your prisoner and blood feeder. I must obey all your commands to please you," she grumbled in a low voice."I hear you, dear," Demetria said, smiling. "The sooner you accept your fate, the better you will be. Why resist destiny when it's already happening? Just embrace your fate because it's not going to change anytime soon.Clarice sighed inwardly. "Is there no way out of this mountain?" she asked despite knowing

    "I'm a hybrid, dear. There are a lot of things you don't know about me. It's better that you are left in the dark. The less you know, the better for your safety and mental well-being," Demetria remarked cryptically."OK." Clarice didn't inquire further. The salty wind was blowing through her hair, caressing her skin. She walked to the edge and grabbed the railing, looking down, studying the rocks below. She wasn't aware that Demetria was standing behind her."If you are studying rock formation, planning to escape one day, just make sure you do it when I'm around so I can save you. If you do it when I'm out of the house, you might die on the spot and no one can help you," Demetria warned her again in a stern voice.Clarice tore her gaze from the ground and looked at Demetria. "Since you already know that I'm planning on escaping, why would you still leave me alone here? Why don't you bring me along wherever you go?" she asked, suggesting the obvious.Demetria smiled. "I visit dangerous

    Demetria observes Clarice's face, watching a myriad of emotions flash in her eyes.Minutes passed but Clarice was having a hard time deciding."It's okay, you don't have to decide right away. I will give you one month to decide. Take your time, dear," Demetria said casually."Wait... If you bring my son and husband here, they can never go back to their old lives, right? They will stay here and die like prisoners for the rest of their lives, just like me?" Clarice asked the most important question of all.Demetria nodded her head. "Yes, of course. Once they arrive here, they can never leave again. And if your husband insists on leaving this house, I will punish him. Don't blame me if I end up killing him. I suggest bringing your family here so you can be reunited with them. I'm just being kind to you and your family. It's my way of reuniting the three of you in one place. You should be thankful for my generosity."Clarice swallowed the lump in her throat. Tears shimmered in her eyes. W

    While Clarice was taken captive by the possessive vampire Demetria in her place, outside, Clarice's enemies were doing well.In the heart of the busy business district of the city, Kaspar’s two-month-old palm reading business was thriving.That sunny afternoon, a client entered the store and bought a lucky charm bracelet. Then she was assisted by the store attendant and taken to a room to have her palm read by Master Shaman Kaspar.“Have a seat, Miss,” the attendant said politely.“Thank you,” the woman in her 30s replied.As soon as the client settled comfortably into her seat, Kaspar revealed himself behind the black curtain. He was wearing an impeccable black suit, looking every inch a dignified soothsayer. “Good afternoon, Miss.”The woman smiled. “Good afternoon, Master Kaspar. I want to have a palm reading today,” she said, putting her hand on the table.Kaspar held the woman's hand and looked into her palm. He noticed the lucky charm bracelet made of plain-looking beads made fr

    In the middle of the night, Alpha Callum was still wide awake, sipping his wine, staring at the star-filled sky on the horizon. Sadness and longing were deeply etched in his eyes.Beta Amir arrived on the balcony and settled on an empty chair. "Alpha, it's already 12:00 midnight, time to sleep," he told his grieving boss.Alpha Callum shook his head. "I'm not sleepy yet. You go ahead to your room and sleep," he answered dejectedly, feeling empty inside."You've been sleeping late at night since Luna Clarice's disappearance. Drinking alcohol every day is not good for your health," Beta Amir reminded him as he began yawning.Alpha Callum sighed heavily. "I know what I'm doing. I just drink enough to numb the pain, not to make me sick to death," he replied in a dispirited tone."I'm sorry, Alpha. There is still no news of Luna Clarice's body washing up on shore. I'm sorry to say this... every day while we are waiting for good news, the longer we wait... the more I think we will never see

    When Alpha Callum and Beta Amir appeared at Viviana's beachfront property, two fire trucks were already on the scene. The firefighters were holding a hose, dumping water onto the burning house.The visibly shaken Viviana was holding her baby daughter close to her chest, while her maids huddled around her. The two bodyguards stood nearby, guarding the terrified women.Although there were tears in Viviana's eyes, her eyes lit up the moment her ex-husband appeared out of nowhere, approaching her location.Alpha Callum quickly took his sleeping daughter into his arms and looked at his ex-wife. "Are you okay?" he asked."Yes. Our daughter and I were fine. The servants were also okay. Thankfully no one was harmed," Viviana replied, wiping tears from her eyes."Why did the house burn down? What caused the fire?" Alpha Callum asked right away."It's all my fault. I admit to my mistake. It was an accident," Viviana said, and began sobbing hard out of guilt."What did you do?"

    Clarice glared at Demetria. "Are you pressuring me? Is this your way of forcing me to kill bad people by going after those kidnappers who abducted the missing children and women?"Demetria nodded her head. "Yeah. You have a reason to kill because you are going to save lives!""No, I'm not going to do it! I'm not some kind of superwoman that saves the weak and punishes the bad people. This is your scheme, not mine!" Clarice argued fiercely.Demetria sighed heavily, disappointed with Clarice's unwillingness to do the right thing. "Sometimes I really wonder if you are fit to be my successor? You are too stubborn, too difficult to convince, dear," she said in a frustrated tone.Clarice refused to be swayed. "Forget it! I'm not going anywhere today! Why don't you go and save them yourself?" she suggested indifferently, but deep inside she knew people's lives were in danger and only Demetria could save them."Where is the fun in that? We will go there and save them all. You and me," Demetri

    The two women stepped outside the house, facing each other.Demetria asked Clarice, “Are you ready, dear?”Clarice nodded her head. “Yes, I’m ready. I’m excited to go to the city and see other people,” she replied enthusiastically.Demetria smirked. “You will see a lot more today, both the good and the bad,” she said cryptically.Clarice’s brows furrowed. “Huh? What do you mean? I want to see the good only, not the bad,” she said, frowning.“You will know soon enough,” Demetria said. “On going to the city, what do you want to try this time? Teleportation or floating in the air in invisible mode?” she asked.“I like to go to the city, hovering in the air, not seen by others,” Clarice replied excitedly.“OK, your wish granted, dear,” Demetria responded with a smile. She waved her hand in the air, wielding her power, creating an invisible structure, enveloping them.Clarice felt the changes in the air. She poked her hand at the invisible jelly-like barrier surrounding them. “I can touch

    A few hours later.Clarice was sweeping the floor in the living room and kitchen when Demetria arrived, holding a box.“I have a surprise for you, dear,” Demetria said, showing her the box.Clarice's brows drew together, wondering what was in the box. “What’s that?” she asked curiously.“It’s a camera. We will install one in the basement room so you can see and hear what your enemies are talking about,” Demetria explained.Stunned, Clarice’s ears tingled. “Huh? Who did you kidnap this time?” she asked.“Who else? Of course, it’s Kaspar and Aurelia,” Demetria replied.Clarice’s heart beat faster in her rib cage. The thought of her enemies imprisoned in the basement filled her heart with anticipation. For a second she had a mixed reaction to it. “Are they already in the basement?” she asked.Demetria smiled after seeing the reaction on Clarice’s face. “Are you excited to kill them?”Clarice takes a deep breath. “I honestly don't know what to feel right now,” she answered, astounded.Dem

    Viviana refused to give in to the nun’s mind game. She must not lose her focus on begging for mercy. “Sister, please have mercy on me. I want to go home, my baby daughter needs me!” she said in desperation.“Dear, have you been good lately? Did you not commit any sin?” Clarice asked.Viviana was confused for a moment. Why is this nun asking her about private stuff like this? Ah, because nuns served God, the divine entity that humans served and obeyed. “Yes! I’m a good person. I mean, I didn't harm anyone! Please believe me!” she said convincingly.“Dear, you should strive to be a good person. Don’t hurt anyone. Never venture on the bad side or else karma will catch up with you. Do you understand?” Clarice asked.“Yes! I will never hurt anyone. I will never do bad things. Please help me leave this place. Have mercy on me and my baby daughter. My little baby needs me,” she pleaded fearfully for her safety.Clarice fell silent for a moment. She couldn’t bring herself to harm Viviana. She

    The last thing Viviana remembered was that she fainted in the arms of the hideous-looking guy from hell. When she slowly opened her eyes, she found herself lying on the bed in an unfamiliar room. She scanned the room, panicking because there was no window, but she saw a door.Her mind rapidly recalled everything that had happened to her before she lost consciousness. She remembered the guy from hell. That scary guy abducted her!When she thought everything was just a dream, she was shocked that she was still wearing her red lingerie. She’s not dreaming at all, everything is real! She trembled in fear.Her eyes landed on the door.She leaped from the bed and ran to the door, grabbed the door handle and tried opening it. Her heart stopped beating when she realized she couldn't open the door. Is it stuck or locked outside?Realizing the danger she was in, she kicked the door with her feet and punched it with her hands. “Anybody there? Let me out! Please help me, anybody? Let me out!” she

    The whole day, Alpha Callum was bothered by his dream. It seems so real! The way his wife begged him to teleport her to Grandpa Eliezer’s farm still rings in his ears.Since he couldn't do anything that day because he was restless, he teleport to the farm to have a talk with the old man.Grandpa Eliezer was feeding the chickens in the backyard when Alpha Callum appeared in the clearing.“Pops, how’s your day?” Alpha Callum asked.“Good, son. How about you?” Grandpa Eliezer asked, putting the feeds on the chair, facing his visitor.“Um, I dreamed of my wife last night,” Alpha Callum replied.“What was the dream all about? You looked anxious,” Grandpa Eliezer commented.“In my dream, my wife and I are lying on the bed in our bedroom. Then she begged me to teleport her to your farm instantly because somebody is holding her in captivity. That’s how I understand it. She sounds scared and anxious. Then the dream ended abruptly,” Alpha Callum explained in a tensed tone.“Oh, it’s just a drea

    A deep frown appeared on Clarice’s face. “Huh? What are you talking about? I don’t get you,” she said, confused.Demetria smiled. “After searching for someone to replace me, I finally found someone who was worthy of my power. I’m now willing to give it to you, but with several conditions…"“Huh?” Clarice’s confusion grew deeper, but she was intrigued as well by Demetria’s offer. “Tell me, what are the conditions, so I can inherit your power?” she asked.“You must kill three bad people, part of your initiation rite. You must never abandon this place. You will protect it with your life and the most important thing is, you will never release those vampires imprisoned in the forbidden rooms upstairs. Once they wake up, they will unleash hell on earth and life will never be the same for all living things in this world.” Demetria ended her lengthy reply.Clarice gasped, stunned.“Dear, there are two types of vampires in this world, good and bad,” Demetria added.Clarice’s eyes widened in sh

She found herself in the master bedroom, gazing at her husband’s face lovingly.Her dream resumed where it left off. This time she tries to go with the flow.She was staring at her husband’s face, waiting for him to open his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, she smiled brightly.Alpha Callum gazed at his wife’s pretty face. “How long have you been awake?” he asked gently.“A few minutes ago,” Clarice replied with a smile. “What do you want for breakfast? I want to cook for you today,” she said.“The usual… pancakes, bacon, eggs, coffee. What else?” he said, planting a kiss on her lips. “I’ll need more sleep. Come back later if you are done cooking, my love," he said, kissing her lips and closing his eyes again.“Okay, I’ll head to the kitchen now and prepare our breakfast,” Clarice said happily.

After eating delicious noodles with eggs and herbs, she went outside the house and stared at the horizon.Demetria told her that she would bring her husband at 10:00 in the evening. She looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It’s still 5:45 p.m., too early.She’s getting nervous as time passes by.
