Storming into Arcadia Grill, Liam and Tristan met Nina who was wiping the counter. Sighing, they trudged toward her exchanging pleasantries. Looking at her wristwatch, Nina sighed in defeat. “Um, it's late and we are about to close as you can see the grill is empty.” Nina told them as she continued to wipe the counter. “Please we need your help.” Tristan pleaded and Nina sighed, dropping the piece of cloth which had been stained with dirt. “Um, let me see if I can get you something.” Nina affirmed as she looked at their pleading eyes before she walked into the kitchen meeting Amaya who was taking care of the dishes. Mrs. Carter and other workers had left while Amaya was waiting for Colby to return before they would take Nina back home. Taking a tray, Nina went to the fridge and grabbed two cans of soda before she rushed to the counter to analyze what was left of the day. She picked four burgers with tissue paper and dropped them onto the plate. Amaya gave her a stern look.“There ar
His shirt was drenched in the rain, but he kept scampering toward the body which was lying in the middle of the streets. As he sat on the floor, Liam reached for her face and caressed it hoping that she would wake up. Her body was cold and her skin was pale. Lifting her from the floor, he gazed at the incoming car, headlights were flashing and taking his sight, he placed his hand over his face so that he could get a better view of who was coming at him. Stepping out of the car, Lane met her daughter in the arms of a vampire. He immediately thought that he was abducting her and he swiftly pulled out a gun and pointed it at him. “Drop the girl and leave,” Lane told him with fury in his voice. Liam seemed reluctant at first. “I said drop the girl and leave.” He roared as he placed his hand on the trigger.“She is hurt. I could help you.” “I said, drop my daughter.” Lane stomped his feet on the ground and pulled the trigger which collided with Liam's shoulder and he groaned. Glancing at
As they ambled toward the front room, the door swung open and they met Lynette and Aiden stepping into the house. “Good morning.” They told one another with smiles on their faces except for Colby who forced his lips to move. “I heard what happened to Colby. I'm sorry.” Lynette wore an apologetic look as he glanced at Colby.“It's alright. He is feeling better now.” Amaya spoke since she understood that Colby still found it hard to communicate. “Great. Take care of yourself, little brother.” Aiden patted his back as he left with Lynette and he nodded. Amaya and Colby made it into the streets walking side by side. “Come on. At least put a smile on your cute face. You don't want to scare away all the customers,” Amaya pinched his cheeks and he gave a side smile. “I need you to be happy for us. We talked about it. It's alright. You got injured, but you're fine now. If you continue like this I'm not going to have a good day.” She folded her hands. “I'll try my best to put my mind away
As Amaya was taking a tray to a customer, she froze, having different flashes of Elijah, Tristan, and an unfamiliar woman. She blinked several times and saw vampires surrounding a tomb. She regained herself and she dropped there. The tray crashed on the floor. The people in the grill gasped as they watched her body descend on the floor. She shut her eyes and was taken away by unconsciousness. “Get a medic!” A woman screamed as Colby ran in, he lifted her body from the floor and patted her cheek. “Amaya, wake up.” Colby exclaimed. “You need to take her to a hospital.” Another voice rose from the crowd which had surrounded her. Colby lunged toward the exit, racing toward the pickup stationed at the parking lot. He opened the door and put Amaya on the passenger's seat before shutting it and running to the driver's seat. He pulled out the keys and put one of them into the ignition hole. He twisted it and the car made a ‘vrrrooommm’ sound as he drove out of the premises. The engine revve
“Today. We will rise and defeat the witch that doesn't mean well for our clan. We are going to be the victors tonight.” Silas announced as he unsheathed a blade and raised it while other vampires who were holding different weapons raised theirs too. Darius who was standing next to him locked his hands behind his back and squinted at them as he read the hard and furious expression on their faces. “Fight like there is no tomorrow. Fight as if your life depends on it. We will thrive and nothing will stop us.” Darius' voice rose to invigorate all the vampires and they clench their fists in rage. Those vampires roared, raising their clenched fists and stomping their feet on the floors of the castle.Moving his fingers through threads of her hair, he smiled when her lashes fluttered and she opened her eyes. How long had she been taking a nap? Colby moved his fingers through her silky hair and she smiled. “How long have I slept?” Amaya grinned as she looked outside the window and narrowed h
“You can't bail on me.” Liam admitted as he gently placed Hadrian on the ground and continued to blink his eyes. He had gotten rid of the bullets, but the spell cast on the bullet was meant to kill Liam. It was killing Hadrian instead. He was going to die and nothing would work. If he had some strength left, he would have managed to save himself. “I can't use my magic. I'm so weak. I don't know how Diana did it, but she weakened me. Tell my sister that I love her so much. That I would never forget her no matter the circumstance.” Hadrian asserted as his eyes were submitting to the blackness. He could already see himself in the phenomenal plane. “Maybe my blood could heal you.” “It would only turn me into a vampire.” Hadrian warned. “It doesn't matter.” Liam roared as he bit his wrist and forced his blood into his mouth. Hadrian struggled to break free from his hold, but Liam continued until he felt it was enough.“The spell of the witch who made the bullet is killing me.” “Absorb
Lying on her bed, she gazed at the ceiling and heaved a sigh as she clutched the pillow on her chest. It had been weeks since she had not seen her brother and she didn't care about what happened to Colby after her magic kicked in and she used it on him. She still cared about him, but she wanted to isolate herself from everyone. All of her friends. She just needed to be on her own. She even had to quit her job so that she could get the space she deserved but she was perturbed because she had been having dreams about the same book she saw in the endless hallway. Amaya wished her brother was here to help her. It was her fault, she could have listened to Marissa. ‘Never trust a vampire.’ Those were her words. She pulled the blankets up as tears rolled down her cheeks and closed her eyes hoping to drift into a deep sleep. Opening her eyes, she found herself amid the darkness. She couldn't define how she got here, but she was glad that she saw a flicker of light in the emptiness. This time
“My name is Hadrian Grayson. I used to be a powerful warlock, but now I'm a vampire. Never have I imagined waking up one day and becoming a bloodsucker. Would my sister forgive me for doing this to myself?” Hadrian proclaimed as he locked his hand behind his back, gazing at the bright sun which hid behind the horizon. He sighed as he looked at his finger, he managed to steal one of the vampire rings that were left behind by some vampires who were murdered while trying to stop Diana and Aurelius. Closing his eyes, he left himself to feel the warmth of the air. “I'm a vampire and I'm going to figure out how to control myself.” Hadrian muttered as he turned toward the figure which was gagged and was sitting on the wooden floor. He managed to come across an abandoned building on the outskirts of town and a human friend who would serve as his blood bag. He hated what he was doing, but he had no choice because he couldn't control his thirst for blood. He hoped that he wouldn't become a ripp
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
