Hours passed quickly.Clarice was reading the book, yet her mind couldn't concentrate. She went to the kitchen and prepared her food for dinner. 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. Anxiety is killing her.Her success in escaping tonight depends entirely on her husband’s action and cooperation. As much as she is confident that she can escape tonight, she also can't ignore the possibility that her plan will fail.The night is getting late. Clarice's nervousness rises to the roof. She felt restless, pacing back and forth in the living room, at a loss for what to do. Should she just go to her room and rest and wait there or stay awake and continue watching the wall clock like a ticking time bomb waiting to explode at any given m
Clarice tried her hardest to get back to the dream she shared with her husband a few minutes ago.Suddenly, her body relaxed, and she drifted into a deep slumber. 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. She left the bed and exite
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
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
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
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
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
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
If they are the police authorities, then she will allow them to pass. If they are one of the enemies, then she will freeze them until the police arrive.When Clarice was already hovering above the speedboats and coast guard vessels, she knew Martha’s team had finally arrived. She saw her, the only female among the men. Martha was looking despondent and anxious. She's probably worried about her missing niece.While she was staring at Martha, she was wondering if she would work with her to help her and her team in chasing the bad guys once Demetria leaves. She realized that human cops are too few compared to the millions of people they have to watch.A cop's job is to protect people, preserve peace and order in society and arrest bad people. Just their numbers are not enough to do the job. That is why Demetria's contribution is valuable to the police force.Now, she is wondering if she will continue Demetria’s legacy, helping police locate the most notorious and baddest villains hiding
Demetria smirked. “Relax, boys. No need to bring out the spray. We will come with you to the basement to attend the party. I hope it’s fun,” she said calmly.The men looked at each other in amusement.“You know what? You are enthusiastic and brave. I like your attitude, saving us the hassle of forcing you to come,” Dave said, grinning wickedly.Demetria shrugged. “We’re already here. There is nothing we can do but move forward. We have come this far. I’m hoping the party is enjoyable so we don’t regret our actions,” she said, pretending she’s not aware of what’s going to happen next.Clarice cleared her throat. “Guys, I just want to ask this. After the party, can we still leave this island alive?” she asked innocently.The men looked at each other and laughed maniacally, finding the question silly. The men are now openly displaying the evil side they were trying to hide at the start of their meeting.“That depends,” Oscar replied cryptically.Demetria stood up. “Can we leave Rachel he
"We will only stay here for a few hours, trying to find clues. If we can't find anything worth pursuing then we will leave and try another establishment," Demetria finally said."I agree with that," Clarice responded with a nod.After one hour of waiting, the women finally entered the club. The club was crowded and the women didn't like the chaotic atmosphere inside the club."I hate clubs like this. So crowded, so noisy and people are everywhere, suffocating me. The music is too loud. I think my eardrums will explode.'' Clarice groaned in dismay."Me too," Demetria agreed. "Let's wander around and find clues," she added.The women ordered drinks, danced on the dancefloor and socialized with others, pretending they enjoyed the crowd and the music but their eyes were always on the lookout for anything and anyone suspicious.The evening was getting deeper, nothing had happened, frustrating the girls.Surprisingly, no one attempted to flirt with the women or tried to invite them to leave
Five months later.Clarice had a serious conversation with Demetria in the living room early in the morning."Dear, tell me. Are you ready now to be left alone on your own?" Demetria asked."Why?" Clarice's brows furrowed, feeling apprehensive."You are doing well in your training. It's about time I disappeared. I will leave next month. But before I left, I promised Martha I would help her and her team. They are currently facing difficulties locating the leaders of the illegal underground syndicates terrorizing the city. I will help them before I disappear," Demetria said calmly.Clarice felt sad. She was so used to having Demetria by her side that she felt lonely once her mentor leave."OK. I understand. I will accompany you on your missions. It's now time to put my training into action," she said excitedly."Good. Let's do it together then," Demetria smiled. "But before that let's discuss the Midnight Wanderers Vampire Association. Because tonight I plan to bring you to headquarters
“Are you shocked to see yourself inside the glass coffin? You look like twins!” Demetria said, smiling in amusement.Clarice couldn't believe she had finally met her doppelganger, but unfortunately, she was lying inside the coffin. "I was shocked indeed! This is unbelievable!” She admitted, astounded.Demetria said, “Are you curious what she has done to deserve this?”"Yes please. Tell me,” Clarice replied with intense curiosity flashing in her eyes.Demetria begins her narration. “Number 3 loves studying medicine and plans to become a chemist. But she created a deadly virus and tested it on a small human village, wiping out the entire population. No one survives."“That’s horrible! What kind of virus?” Clarice asked, shocked.“No one really knows what kind of virus it is, but according to the elders' investigations, it was airborne. She released the virus in the air during the daytime and this lady refused to reveal what kind of virus she had made in her home laboratory. She hid her
When Clarice landed back in the house on the sacred mountain, Demetria was waiting for her in the living room. She expected she would be scolded because it was the first time she had been out of the sacred house and visited her family without permission from her mentor.“Where have you been, dear?” Demetria asked, observing her face closely.She cleared her throat and explained, “Um, I tested my power and teleported to visit my family. Are you angry that I left without permission?” She asked apprehensively.To his surprise, Demetria shrugged her shoulders, uncaring. No sign of anger on her face.“Not at all, dear. Now that you are practicing your powers, I know you will be visiting your family soon. And that is exactly what happened. I can’t stop you, so no big deal. You can do anything you want. Whatever it is, I will support you,” Demetria replied calmly.She smiled in relief. “Thank you for not being mad at me.”“So, how’s everyone back home?” Demetria asked. “Did Viviana succeed i
Clarice teleported to Grandpa Eliezer's farm at the last minute. She landed in the river. Thankfully, no one was there when she landed behind the towering bushes.She must make herself invisible first before proceeding home. What she wants to avoid is landing in the living room of her husband's mansion and everyone will have a heart attack after seeing her alive.She must not rush things and take everything slowly. She will be going home anyway. She has to do things right. What she needs is a private moment with her husband so she can explain everything to him.Time to leave!She closed her eyes, made herself invisible, then teleported home.A few minutes later she landed inside the mansion, particularly in the master bedroom she shared with her husband.Thankfully, no one was inside the room when she landed. She quickly locked the door from the inside and looked at herself in the mirror.Fantastic, she can't see herself in the mirror.Perfect!Now she's confident to leave the bedroom
One week later.Clarice had just finished eating dinner and Demetria was out of the house when a sudden craving for blood attacked her.She has been practicing non-stop how to use her power properly, so she kind of forgot she was now a vampire.Demetria is out of the house and Clarice has no other choice but to drink the chicken's blood. She was hoping that the animal's blood would quench her thirst.She walked to the main door and looked at the chicken she had just fed with rice a while ago. She untied the chicken from the rope and brought it to the kitchen sink. Then she froze the poor unsuspecting animal, slashed its neck with a kitchen knife and let blood drip onto the porcelain bowl.She ignored the guilt she felt while murdering the poor chicken. She just wanted to survive today, so she must kill the innocent chicken. No choice. Sigh.After the chicken’s last blood was squeezed from its body, she put the lifeless animal in the sink to be cooked in a delicious dish later. She pick
The next day.Clarice woke up to a brand-new day. She immediately recalled what had happened yesterday. After the power infusion, she manages to teleport to the kitchen, freeze the hands of the clock and make herself invisible for a few minutes.Now all she needs to do is keep practicing using her powers so she can teleport faster to anyplace, freeze any object much quicker and longer and make herself invisible for a few hours without being seen. Currently, she can only do those things for a short time.Now there are two particular things that she wants to try today: hovering in the air and the power of illusion.Excited to know if she could perform such an ambitious feat, she got out of bed, eager to start practicing. She entered the bathroom and stayed there for a few minutes to do some washing. Then she left the room and went to the kitchen to prepare a simple meal: a ham and egg sandwich and hot coffee.After she finished eating, she went to the living room, sat on the sofa and be
