Ingrid was amazed at the inside of the mine. She didn't know that in order to go dig in the mine you had to get in the car. "So,my queen, this is where all the diamonds are refined before they can go into a safe place where they are locked." Philip, who was giving Ingrid a tour, said. She was amazed. "Do you want to see where we keep the diamonds?" he asked."Of course, but wouldn't the robot king get mad?" Ingrid asked knowing that Pharrell easily gets angry."He'll get over it. Come on" he led her down the passage in the vault."Amazing! I've never seen such beauty before" she stared in awe at the different cut diamonds; from the pear shaped to the marquise cut diamonds."Well, my queen, these are the best in the mine. After they're cleaned, it's up to us to colour them however we want." "That's nice, what about this one in the centre?" She saw a diamond in the centre of the room. It was different from all other diamonds."That one is a Quartz. It has its own story and it's the
It was not so hot. The weather was cool and the sky was dotted with some black clouds. But was it normal for Ingrid to feel so hot. She stepped out of the shower and wrapped her body with a towel.She sat in front of the mirror, but she saw her face; it was red and glowing. But the heat on her body never dissipated…She was down moisturising her body. She settled for a black tracksuit, black training shoes and a black hoodie…My body felt weak, but I couldn't stand being hooked up in the room all day long. I had to do something, so I prepared to go to the training grounds.Whatever that happened two days ago came as blurry images. I couldn't even remember what happened and how I got out of there."If it isn't for the hired luna" I jerked back to my thoughts when I heard someone scoffing. I didn't have to turn to know who that is…"Aunt Amanda it's so good to see you" I faked a smile. She was just like some black spirit, wafting around to weaken my presence."And it's not good to see
The night was young. I watched the stars twinkle in the glimmer. Back at home, where I lived with grandma, I used to stay up late until I was satisfied with watching them. But in this werewolf world there were not so many stars nor sunlight because you could only see the forest. It was on certain occasions that one got to bathe in the warm sun.I tried as much as possible to keep my mind off from what was happening in the King's room. He was glowing, not the usual glow, but the one in which crystals appeared in his face. I was frustrated because I couldn't comprehend what was happening with him. I jerked back to my thoughts when I heard the growl of someone, as if in pain.Maybe it was the king, hence I stood up abruptly preparing to go out when the lights suddenly went off.I checked if Paula was still sleeping, so I tiptoed out of the room. I heard some shouting."Tie him!!" That voice, it sounded so much like uncle Phil's. With light steps, I made my way to where the sounds came
I was still reeling from the fact that the king decided to take refuge in me. Something in my chest rose as I felt somehow proud.It wasn't every time anyone got to tame the ruthless king.I rose early in the morning when the birds were busy chirping. Their sound was rather melodious unlike most of the time. It was such a beautiful day. I hummed as I made my way to the balcony. The view was more intoxicating, as the mist escaped from the forest. I watched from afar as the other pack members exchanged their shifts. After taking the breathtaking view, I decided to take a quick shower and head downstairs.I settled for a long black frock with french laces on the shoulders. I was very sure that I felt beautiful, I could feel it too. My skin was glowing for some reason."That'd be perfect" I said when I was done tying my hair in a neat bun. I kissed my daughter's forehead and went downstairs. The sound of my shoes echoed in the empty castle, I guess everyone was still sleeping. But, that
"My Lord, I think we shouldn't make the trade. For all we know, humans have no Idea who you are. If you show them your power, then they'll know not to mess with you" Frank remarked.Pharrell sat on his office chair in the castle. He listened as his trusted people gave him ideas. The mine was rich in diamonds and new diamonds were discovered everyday. But, now, his collaborators wanted more of the pie. They knew the mine was a success, hence they wanted the diamonds to increase yet they didn't provide their end of the bargain."What do you think, Joseph?" He asked his cousin, who was quiet all the time. Joseph shifted into a comfortable position, before answering."Why would you want my opinion?" He asked sarcastically. Pharrell narrowed his grey eyes."Would you rather I sell our whole legacy and tell you nothing?" He stood up, shoved his hands in his pocket. He stood by the window and watched the people outside."Fine, I say we negotiate with another company. This time we should be m
I didn’t understand what was happening to me. The last time I checked I was a whole human being, not a damn vampire as Charmaine said. I refused to believe her until she slit her wrist to test if I’d have any desire for blood and it turned out that it was the truth.“Charmaine, no one can know about this. Please promise me” I looked into her black eyes, holding her hands. She nodded in agreement.“Ingrid, you didn’t know you were a vampire?” she asked, as if surprised; and the answer was yes. I didn’t know I was a vampire until she told me.Never in my life had I imagined that I’d be immortal.“Charmaine, what do I do now?” everything would probably change in my life right now. I mean this was a huge discovery. It was a good thing Pharrell got a call before he could remove the shawl from my face. Otherwise, I’d have been a dead meat.“You keep calm and collected. No one can know about this.” She said, as if pitying me. If there was someone to pity me, it was me. I mean I literally liv
“How come you kidnapped the child? What are we going to do with her right now?” a man’s voice was heard. He sounded angry because he was yelling.“What did you expect us to do? The little thing saw us.” Another said.“As of now, they are looking for her. It’s only a matter of time before they find you. Pharrell will kill you if he finds you. He grew fond for that woman and her child.” The first man spoke. This wasn’t part of the plan. All they had to do was get inside the Houston pack’s borders without being seen. But instead, they announced themselves.“Look here, we don’t take orders from you. We have our boss, your boss in case you forgot. Pharrell’s reign is soon to be over. Now, pull yourself together and tell me what to do with this little person” the one who seemed to be a boss replied. His tone was not friendly at all…….“My queen, you need to drink some water. It’ll help you cool off” Clara said, passing a glass of sugar water to Ingrid who was shaking. She cried enough. No
It was past midnight when I woke up, not by my choice though; but by the blood curdling screams that echoed in the castle. I had so much forgotten that my daughter was still missing and there was a search party out there, looking for her.I tried as much to keep my eyes shut since sleep didn't seem to consume me. However, whatever attempt I tried to keep still and not let curiosity control me, I found myself on the soft fluffy carpet on my bare feet.The horrendous scream was getting louder and louder. Twisting the gold knob, I set my feet on the wooden carpet. I could feel my heart palpitating at every step I took and every creak the old wood made as I walked.My ears were alerted as I followed the screams, and I found myself out the front door and into the woods I went; hoping I could bump into her accidentally. I didn't mind if there was someone who could possibly look for me. What I had in my mind was look for my child and get to where the screams were coming from.I wondered how
