Regaining consciousness, Aiden punched him and he fell back, groaning. “You have to leave Arcadia Falls or I will lock you up and you would never see broad daylight again.” Aiden threatened, squatting close to Darius whose vision was dangling. Three blood bags were next to him, he could sniff them, he grabbed them, tearing them apart with his fangs and gulping the red liquid. The gray pigment that covered his skin gradually disappeared. He glared at Beckham as he stood on his feet. “I couldn't let you hurt that innocent lady.” Beckham reasoned. “You must have a reason for saving her ass.” Darius gave a side smile. “Why would you keep hypnotizing vampires?” Aiden gritted his teeth as he grimaced at Darius. “Esmeralda was from Vadim's clan. She came to deliver a message and he attacked her.” Beckham explained. “What message?” Aiden inquired. “The Vampire King wants us to bow before him.” Beckham confirmed. “I would rather die than bow before a man I can tear apart.” Darius scorne
“What happened? Why is everyone moody?” Colby asked after opening the door and noticing their stern look. They waddled in and he shut the door and followed them.“Aiden killed Amelia Rodney!” Darius announced with his arms wide.“Lynette went home after you didn't show up.” Colby told Aiden who was in front of him trailing away from what Darius said because he knew that it wasn't what he could do. “I will call her.” Aiden said as he pulled off his black polo dropping it on the couch before proceeding to the kitchen. “I ordered pizza.” Colby tried to brighten him up, giggling. “Go to bed, Colby. I need to be left alone.” Aiden hissed as he opened the fridge. Now, he believed it, he killed her. He followed him leaving Elijah and Darius in the living room.“Aiden, you don't have to worry about Lynette. I would do anything to protect her even if it would cost my life.” Aiden walked past him, dropping the pack of pizza on the counter.“You have to let me take care of my problems.” Aiden
Aiden looked up at the skies, the stars were gleaming, and the moon was glinting, setting the dark blue clouds in a distinct glow. He slid his hands into his pocket and looked at the earth before shaking his head and leaning on the rough barks of the tree he was standing next to. He understood that no matter how hard he tried to fall in love, he would never get there. He could never find love. His heart was gradually accepting the truth that he had lost Lynette forever. He knew that Hadrian and Marissa must have left and his brothers would be looking for Zachary who disappeared during the fight. Sighing, he recalled what happened eight years ago. Arcadia Falls. 17th July 2042Moving threads of her hair behind her ears, she sat in the park next to an old woman. Her mind was glued to her phone because she joined a social media group created by some of her friends in her school. She was 17 years old and she had a big dream of being fluent in different languages because she loved reading
Weeks and weeks passed by and there was no sign of Lynette. Colby was worried about his brother who he had stabbed with a steak and locked up in the dungeon after he revealed that he was going to leave Arcadia Falls. He also reminded Amaya about their first date and apologized that he forgot their date due to the problems they were dealing with. He fixed a new date during the weekend and it went blissfully, they enjoyed each other's company. Elijah had lost hope of finding his mother since Amelia was dead and Zachary was nowhere to be found. Marissa had recruited more hunters into the community and was training them every day. They were yet to schedule when to attack the Vadim and destroy him. Meanwhile, Vadim had been sending more of his minions to attack the O'Connor's with Esmeralda leading the horde of vampires. Beckham had warned Esmeralda to leave Arcadia Falls, but she was recalcitrant. He didn't know what else to do, but to save her life every time they came across one another.
“Dad. I will be back in a minute. I need to take out the trash.” Nina boomed as she dragged the black trash bag while heading to the door. “Ok. Sweetie.” Lane bellowed from the kitchen. Nina shut the door behind her before she ambled toward the trash can that was opposite their house. As she opened the lid, she threw it in the trash bag and slammed it. She turned to walk back to the front porch and she met an unfamiliar pale face. Nina knew it was a vampire because of her looks. She stepped away from the trash can and slowly moved backward. It dawned on her that she wasn't the only vampire there when her smooth slender body hit a tall muscular man who was behind her. She jumped on her feet and screamed.Hearing her shriek, Lane reached for his gun which was filled with wooden bullets. He rushed out of the house leaving the door ajar, he met one of the vampires feeding on his daughter.“She tastes so good.” They informed Esmeralda and she smirked.“Step away from my daughter now.” Lane
The bright light was flashing across the great hall, the opaque windows were shut. Silas was standing next to Vadim's throne, he caressed it and smiled smugly. He imagined becoming the leader of the clan, the power and respect he would earn, and the people he would command, but it was too sad because he couldn't stab his friend in the back. Vadim was in front of him, they were waiting for the two O'Connor brothers to arrive before they would discuss the matters at hand. “What is taking them so long?” Silas rebuffed, breaking the silence. “Patience, my dear friend.” Vadim scoffed as he locked his hand behind his back, he puffed in. The door went apart and Esmeralda entered with the O'Connor brothers behind her. She knelt before Vadim waiting for him to proceed. “Excuse us,” Vadim told her and she stood on her feet before exiting the great hall. “I wasn't anticipating this surprise visit.” “You shouldn't,” Darius retorted. Silas felt the audacity in his voice, and he snickered. “We c
GOLDEN-VILLE15th October 1865His dead mother was found lying in the middle of the streets. Raindrops were splashing on the earth. Her clothes were drenched by the flow of water on the paths in the streets. Strands of her hair were dampened in the rain and the liquid had washed off the blood that was on her arms and neck leaving scratches and bite marks. Around her neck was the exact red amulet that Darius stole from him. Vadim could see the bite marks. She was murdered by vampires. Her skin was cold and her eyes were open. Vadim whimpered as he closed her eyes, grasping her head and pulling her cold body closer. He couldn't believe it. She was gone. The only soul on earth who had always been there for him had died. He lifted her feeble body from the discomfort of the earth, it was his mother. While taking his mother's dead body, he stomped on the wet floors of the streets, crying until his eyes became red. He couldn't bear the pain of losing his mother to vampires. Why? He promised h
Colby had joined Amaya to work in the grill. He was delighted because it was one of the ways that they would spend some time together. While Colby was taking orders from customers, Amaya was serving those who were at the counter.“Here you go.” She told the old man who would be around his late forties as he passed him a can of beer. “Amaya I need your help with these.” Colby told her and they dashed into the kitchen. Some minutes later they returned with two trays, serving various guests who were patiently waiting for their orders. Putting three cans of soda on a table, Amaya saw a customer who must have entered the grill recently. She didn't keep note of everyone who stormed into the grill, but there was something different about him. Her tray was empty and she rushed toward him. “What should I serve you?” She asked nattily.“Um, I think chips should be fine.” He told her with a side smile. “Of course.” She strode toward the kitchen, and a few seconds later, she returned with what
Looking outside the window, Darius imagined what Aiden and Lynette would be doing now ‘trying to make babies.’ It was heartbreaking, but he knew that Lynette would find a way. He sniggered, folding his arms and seeping from the glass of red wine which he was holding. He would never stop caring about her even though she was married to his brother. He would always protect her and save her from danger no matter the cost. Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned and met Nina who looked at him hopefully. “You should be going home. It's almost eight o'clock.” “I just wanted to check up on you.” Nina uttered as she halted. “Um, I saw your father at the wedding.” “Colby sent the invitation cards to us after you invited me personally.” Nina huffed while Darius put the glass on the wooden desk, ambling toward her. He kissed her when they were close enough, he was doing this just to get rid of every sentiment he had for Lynette. Trying to fall in love. Striving to put his urges under control.
Colby was the best man and Amaya was the maid of honor. They had agreed on their separate roles and the wedding was about to commence. The color of the day was black, white, and gold. All men would be dressed in suits and women would be dressed in different types of golden gowns with specific designs. Darius was the priest and he just wished that things would turn around. He wished he was the one getting married to Lynette, but he couldn't. Even if he tried to ruin the wedding, he wouldn't escape the wrath of his mother and brothers, not after he had gotten rid of Aurelius. They wouldn't let him destroy Aiden's wedding. Aiden was struggling to put his tie in place when the door swung open, he turned and met Darius who waddled in. He wore the best happy face expression. It was just for some hours and he would go back to being a dejected and abhorrent vampire. “The guests have arrived,” Darius announced as he motioned toward him, helping him to put his tie in place. “You look amazing.”
Driving through the streets, Aiden swerved to the right, he was going to pick up his wedding suit from Arcadia's Mall. Elijah had his gaze fixed on the windshield, he enjoyed every minute that he spent with his mother and he also wished that Aurelius would appear with Diana someday. They had concluded with Darius that they wouldn't talk about Aurelius again and the Graysons should go ahead and get rid of him forever. As they stationed the car at the parking lot, Aiden and Elijah alighted from the car, striding into the mall. “I think you should wear a black tux.” “Hell yes. I'm going for a black tux. I love black.”“Not as Darius.” Elijah teased as they strode to the men's section after they had taken the elevator which led them to the third floor. “Should we compel the cashier?” Elijah suggested. “Dude. This is my wedding and everything should be genuine.” Aiden halted and looked at him. People were storming in and out of the shopping mall throwing glances and smiling at each other
Misery. Devastation. For the past two years, she had never set her eyes on her elder brother. Not once. Not twice. Not even in her hopeful imagination of having a better life. Living with an abusive father had ruined her life and kept her locked up in her room vulnerable and helpless. Weeping and attempting to put her emotions under control. She breathed heavily as she looked further. Hanging on her shoulder was her black backpack. She wished that she would arrive at Arcadia Falls peacefully and find his brother without stress. As she trudged through the woods, she heard twigs breaking and indistinct cackling. She looked backward and clenched her fists in fear. She hoped that she wouldn't be attacked by a lurker because the five towns knew about Vampires. Bloodthirsty creatures. She increased her pace looking backward as she ran past the trees that lined up in the woods. She bumped into a man and she gasped as she stepped backward. Quivering, she took off. As she ran she tripped and
Another day passed and Lynette didn't make it to work. It's a new day and Aiden made sure she dropped her off at Arcadia Falls library before heading home so he would deal with Adriel's issues. Colby and Tristan had headed to work while Elijah was still spending some time with Gwendolyn who was healing from Darius' wicked words. Darius was spending time with Liam in the wrestling room while Aiden was left to interrogate Landon who was exploring the mansion. “I wonder how we were friends in 1335.” Liam added ducking Darius' straight punch before moving behind him and kicking him on his back. “We just have to live with our mother's story until we get our memories back. I don't even believe her.” Darius declared as he wiped the beads of sweat on his face, clenching his fist and positioning himself for an attack. “I see you hate her, don't you?” “Well, yes. She abandoned us in the past. I'm not the type of person who easily forgives.” Darius maintained as he threw a punch and Liam used
Kissing her, he wrapped her arms around his waist as they stepped toward the bed. Their tongues collided expertly while their heads were filled with nothing but pleasure and unquenchable emotions. They crashed on the bed and it left a soft little squeak as Lynette unzipped her gown and threw off her shoes. He sat up and held her smooth thighs as she removed his jacket and loosened his tie. A moan escaped her lips when he clutched his hand on her thighs and they giggled. “I love you so much.” She could still smell his cologne and she enjoyed the scent that turned every part of her body on. He caressed her until his hands grasped the tip of her boobs and they both smiled. She straddled him and he pressed her tits and he moaned as she felt her erection. She was even becoming slicker and she enjoyed the way Aiden touched every part of her body. He placed his hand back on her waist and lifted her as they rolled over. She could feel his rock-hard DICK in between his trousers and she couldn'
Hanging the balloons on the walls, Colby looked at Tristan who was holding the ladder. They smiled at each other before Colby diverted his attention to the balloons he was fixing on the wall. It was his favorite brother's birthday and he was so delighted even though he hadn't figured out a gift that would suit him he knew that he would get things done before the end of the day. Lynette and Darius had gone to the bakery shop to get a cake while Aiden was stuck in his room, resting and taking in the story that their mother shared the previous night. Colby stepped down from the ladder while Tristan moved it to the basement. Elijah and Liam had moved the couches aside, creating a safe space for the dance floor and the party to take place. Colby rushed toward Aiden's room, knocking and stepping in after he got a solid response. Aiden was facing the wall with a ring in his hands, he looked at it and sighed before turning toward Colby. “Morning.” They told each other simultaneously. “Have y
Present Day“That night, he told me about the holy 12 and he fled when the witch came after him. I guess he died in her hands because I have never set my eyes on him.” Gwendolyn heaved a sigh as she stared at her sons. The clock was ticking. Time was moving. She was happy because they welcomed her graciously. “You just told us how our father became a vampire and how he was murdered by Cataleya Drew. How did we become vampires?” Elijah asked, waiting for the odd story. “I'm so glad because the six of you are here.” “Six?” Elijah wondered. “Yes. Except for Beckham who I haven't seen since I returned. Where did he go?” “He will be here soon. Just tell us how we became vampires.” Darius implied. “This is how you became vampires.” Gwendolyn relaxed in her seat as she braced herself to tell them the truth.15th September 1335Gwendolyn looked outside the window, heaving a sigh of regret. Right in front of her, her husband whom she thought had died years ago fled and never returned home
1st November 1305This was supposed to be a new year's gift to her husband. For the past nine months, she had been carrying a baby in her womb and she prayed that this child would be a boy. She didn't want to disappoint her husband because her first child was a girl. Gwendolyn and some of her maids were trudging toward the infirmary which was built behind the O'Connor mansion. Two women were beside her, holding onto her feeble hands and rubbing her back as she wailed in pain. She had been shrieking and muttering inaudibly since she was in labor, one of the women rushed toward the entrance opening the door and helping the other lady to take Gwendolyn and lie her on the bed. A tall muscular man wearing a black tunic and black trousers strode toward the infirmary which was the cottage at the O'Connor mansion. He stopped by the door and waited patiently to receive the good news that his wife had put to bed and she was alive. He didn't care about the sex, but he hoped it would be a boy. Gro
