A Blood Oath

A knock sounded on the secret door, drafting Olivera’s attention from the now still book to the door.

She sighed, and then checked the time on the clock across from her. It was just midafternoon. It wasn’t even evening yet, and the strange woman was here. Tsk. Why was she here, earlier than planned? Did something happen?

Olivera jerked farther away from the book suddenly when she smelt the burning smoke that emanated from it.

The book was burning!

She looked at it helplessly, unable to do anything but watch as the book burned up to crisps in mere seconds. Now that she knew better, she believed that the book had been waiting for her, had been waiting for someone from the bloodline of the Queen.

Bloodline of a Queen? Olivera shook her head in disbelief, and not even her wolf’s next taunt had been able to waver her from such feeling.

‘Of course it was waiting for you, dumbo. You didn’t know any better really.”

Could that be what the strange woman had meant when the latter had sai

    Olivera shuddered as she felt the cord that bonded her and Vee. She looked down at her new guard, and smiled at him giddily. “Did you feel that?” Vee nodded, and stood on his feet. He was way taller than her. Olivera mused, taking stock of this new Vee that was never to disappear from her sight anymore, forever, until she dies. “Do you die?” Vee chuckled, the sound bouncing off the room. “Of course. I am not an eternal creature. As a matter of fact, part of the agreement is that your death means mine.” Olivera scrunched her face. She didn’t want that. “Don’t bother regretting it. The deed has already been done. And besides, it's my duty. So, if you want me hale and hearty, don’t give me much trouble by disappearing on me, or giving me heartache when you disobey commands.” Olivera huffed. Already bossy? She didn’t know guards could be bossy. She had seen the way that Raul was with his subordinates. ‘You can be that way, if you choose.’ Verity opined, but Olivera shook her head.

    Of course, Olivera knew there was only so measurable time she could keep up her hatred for Raul. As a matter of fact, she didn’t think that she hated him. She just hated what he had done, how easily he had dispelled their love as if it had been nothing, as if it had not existed. However, she knew that she could not escape the mate bond forever; only could stall the inevitable. And if she was going to be honest, her wolf had made sense when she had said that Jeremy’s disrespecting Raul, in front of his subordinates, was way out of charts. She could do that because she had been the one personally wronged, but Jeremy… ‘Good girl.’ Olivera scoffed. Verity was just too dramatic. Vee had halted and was looking at her again. “Go on, what did Jeremy say?” Her mind, whilst thinking of Jeremy's disrespect, had also been running across possible words which would have come out from Jeremy’s mouth at Raul’s question. “He said that he didn’t really care for that, that he will take you for hi

    “I didn’t tell you to come in, Olivera…” Those were the first words Olivera heard when she stepped into the room, and saw Vee standing a few feet away from the witch that had completely disorganized the room that belonged to Raul’s mother. This must have been why she had stopped knocking. Olivera thought, stepping around the littered books and bottles on the floor, ignoring Vee and his question. The witch was still searching for whatever scrolls she had talked about before disappearing on her last two weeks. The scroll.That had been one of the first things she had searched for intently the past two weeks, and she had found it. However, it was something that she couldn’t understand, and the only thing that Vee had said when she had mentally asked him, was that they needed the other part of the scroll for it to be useful. It was then that she had known that the scroll which looked like a map was incomplete. “Is that how he talks to you? How can you allow it?” Olivera ignored the q

    “You have a wolf too?” Olivera reverted from her conversation with her wolf, and centered her attention on Miriam again. The latter was looking at her with eyes that had become widened with surprise, and a little other emotion akin with awe. “Wow, that’s purely interesting, and puts a new twist to things. I like it though.” Miriam smiled, and Olivera didn’t know which one disorganized her, Miriam’s words, or the smile and connotation of the words the latter had just spoken. “Explain that statement.” She stated rather, not finding it necessary to tell the lady that her smile was very beautiful, and then familiar too. The disorganization had come from the fact that there was now a seventy percent probability that Miriam was Raul’s sister. No longer thirty percent. No, not with that smile. She wanted to ask Miriam to confirm her suspicions but she had a nagging feeling that the latter would deny it. So, she chose to talk about the unsettling statement, that even though it was said w

    “Since when have you been listening?” Olivera asked Raul after they had exited the secret room. Right now, they were in the confines of her own room. Raul was sitting on the bed, and his eyes were running tro and fro the room as if he hadn’t seen the beautification before. But then, this was his first time, or rather one of the rare times, the once in a blue moon times that he stepped into the room of his mother that he hated. “A while.” He answered, letting his eyes finally settle on Olivera who took residence on the dressing chair, with Vee right beside her. Vee was another feature that Raul had a time keeping his eyes away from. Mostly because he was already considering the threat Vee might pose should the guard indicate an interest in Olivera. He had thought Jeremy handsome enough for a man that might tempt Olivera, but seeing Vee, the obsession had shifted from Jeremy to Vee. This could be his competition. He heard Vee chuckle, saw the guard wink at him, and balked. Vee coul

    To talk about his sister? Raul wasn’t sure that he could do that. Miriam was a dead topic as his mother has been. As a matter of fact, his family was a dead topic. But at least talking about his father wouldn’t make him cringe in irritation and distaste. However, Olivera was the one asking, and how could he deny her that? Yet, he would have to make a deal with her on this. “If I tell you about Miriam, you tell me about him…” He pointed at Vee whose only reaction was a smug smile. Raul disliked it. The guard was acting like he knew all things. Well, Vee knew more than he did of his mate… “And you tell me all that had transpired in the room, and all the happenings that you haven’t told me of. I will tell you about Miriam…” There was a pause which caused Olivera to pique an eyebrow. What was making a ruthless alpha to hesitate? Over the past weeks, the only person apart from Jeremy and Nick, and sometimes Roland who she had spoken to had been Amah, the servant girl. They both had

    Olivera started answering Raul’s question, without making the deal, surprising Raul who had thought that she might bicker and try to slither away from the deal. But what he didn’t know was that Olivera had already proposed in her heart to let him know everything that was going on, just as Vee and Verity had advised so that she wouldn’t be fighting this war alone. And so she told him of the first time she had found the secret room, and what she had found there-the pictures of her and her brother, whom everyone believes is dead, but whom she had a feeling might be alive. She told him of the hefty books that she had no understanding of, and how she had run out of the room because Vee had tipped her that Jeremy had been about to be executed. Olivera didn’t pause there, even when Raul rubbed his face, partly ashamed of his actions. She told him of the form Vee had taken, and how she hadn’t known what it was until she had found Nick close to him, until she had found out that the Nick she

    “So, I’m done. It's time to fulfill your part of the bargain.” Olivera said, crossing her legs, ignoring the flash of panic that fleeted past Raul's face just for a bare second at her statement. She knew that this topic scared him to talk about, made him seem like a fearful small boy, but she wasn’t going to patronize or fawn over him with pity. She knew that he wouldn’t like that. She knew that he would close up faster than he would open up. There were beats of silence, where Raul stared at the wall without speaking, and Olivera contemplated asking the question again. But she finally chose to be quiet till he was ready to talk. She could wait. They had enough time. But she wouldn’t let him leave her room until he had spoken all that she wanted to hear, even if it included threatening him with her life. Talking about this might help him heal. She watched painfully as he opened his mouth, and then shut it, pain and sorrow filling up his eyes. She had never seen him like this. With

    When they clambered to the surface of the ground, away from the lab, the girls breathed in relief, freed from the nightmares they had been subjected to for years. It was then that Olivera took a blood bag from the polythene in her arms, feeling better in the night hair, and took a sip, wary of how the blood would taste. She had heard Jacob talking about the heady feeling, worse if it came from an ancient. But it still hadn’t prepared her for the kick of pleasure. She found herself moaning as she greedily drank the blood, until she drained the bag. When she was done, she looked at the others. They were staring at her with unexplainable emotions on their faces. At least it wasn’t disgust. Olivera thought with a shrug, before handing the bag over to Miriam. When her friend hesitated in collecting it, she piqued an eyebrow. “You want to do the dismantling of the structure, without alerting the soldiers?” Miriam huffed, and took the bag. As much as she had great magic, she didn’t want

    The first thing Olivera saw when she stepped into the hole where the passageway stopped was the largeness of the space, which could contain more than five thousand people. Then she saw the tubes, the boiling liquids and the lab rats. A modern lab.‘Where are you?’ She asked the girl, needing to get out of here; it was making her nauseous. Ten more minutes here, and she might be vomiting all over the place. And there was the fact that she didn’t know when the soldiers would be waking up. ‘At the far end of the cave…’Olivera nodded as if the girl was speaking to her physically. And gesturing with her head, for Miriam to follow her, she sauntered toward the end of the hall, making sure not to look at the tubes housing different organs and parts of an organism. What the hell! She screamed mentally when she saw a full brain at a table which looked like a butchering table. “Oh, my god…what are they doing here?” She heard Miriam ask beside her and sighed. Whose brain was that? A human

    Miriam’s heart pounded erratically as she followed Olivera, who seemed very confident on what she was doing, and on where she was going. Three times she thought of grabbing Olivera and walking away from the region, but she also knew it would have been a futile attempt. Her friend’s mind was already made up. She watched as the latter walked past the last barrack, and stopped by a pole, the only pole in the backyard. Behind it were the gates towering them. They have come to a dead end. “Olivera, there is nothing here? Are you sure this girl is real?” Olivera gave Miriam no answer, instead she concentrated on looking around her, waiting for the signal. When she got nothing, she traced the vibration residue, touching the girl’s mind. A jerk in her mind path told her that the girl was surprised she had breached her mind guards. But should she be surprised? Or was something else at play here? ‘Where next should I go?’ She continued, because she knew she was at the right place, that t

    “How are we getting past that?” Olivera asked Miriam as they came to stand before a huge gate that towered many feet over them. She could now see why Miriam had wanted the journey to be done in the privacy of the night. As much as she could see—as they had zapped to this point—this area wasn’t open to the city dwellers, only to the special few. She looked around her again. Barracks with soldiers sleeping within. None was even standing guard at the gates. She didn’t believe such a thing would exist at this time. City gates. Where did it lead? She piqued an eyebrow when Miriam smirked. What was the latter thinking? “As if you don’t already know…which other way, if not by mist…there is no way I am climbing that. I don’t think I am ready to fly with you above it…” Miriam spoke, covering the distance between them, and wrapping her arms around Olivera, her mouth fixed in a pout. Olivera shook her head, yet unable to stop the smile that cascaded her lips. It seemed that her friend was g

    A knock woke Olivera up from her deep slumber. After bathing and eating off the snacks she had bought earlier in the day, from the shops in the new city, she had fallen like a log of wood to the bed, and hadn’t even stirred after that. Still groggy from the smooth sleep, she let her hand search for her phone which was the only thing that had gone to bed with her, should Miriam call for her. She peered at the screen. It was one in the morning. It was time then. She yawned like a hyena, causing Miriam to chuckle from behind the door. The chuckle dissipated the remaining fog fostering around her head. Taking a deep breath in, she stood up from the bed, flung a sheet around her naked body, and walked to the door. When she opened it, she saw that Miriam was alone, and carrying a tray of steaming food. “You are a lifesaver.” She muttered, opening the door wider for her friend to come in; the rumbling sounds that emitted from her stomach in agreement with her. Miriam chuckled again, an

    “Where are we heading next?” Olivera asked Miriam immediately they stepped out of the borders of the town, into a city sprawling with people. After they had left the males who had tried to detain them because of her eating habits, they had walked to the largest building in the town, because if Clooney was a big name, it was probably because the man was rich. They hadn’t been right in their deduction, but they had at least gotten away from the unsettling males. Olivera had taken her friend behind the building, and had quickly switched to her mist form, turning Miriam into the same, and together they had zapped the remainder of the city without stopping, till they were out of it, till they were in a new one which looked more modernized than the previous. She looked at Miriam, who was staring at the city with artificial skylights, and wondered if her friend had ever been here before. “I never get over the culture shock, you know, seeing the drabness of the town we just left. The cont

    What now? Olivera thought, looking at the six males that couldn’t be a year older than twenty five years old. What were they doing in front of her? “State your names, and what you are doing in this town…” The male, slightly in front of the others, spoke with a steel voice, causing Olivera and Miriam to exchange furtive glances. What was going on?There was a minute hesitation before Olivera spoke. “I am Darcy. My friend is Lilian. Who are you?” She patted herself mentally for names well cooked and delivered. Darcy and Lilian? How had she come up with those seemingly true names? She watched the male that had just spoken, looked to his comrades behind him, and judged that he was the leader of this small group. Were they the police? She looked at them again. They didn’t look like the police. Vigilantes? Maybe. But why were there vigilantes in the town? She kept a seal on her thoughts when the male returned her attention to her. “My name is Luke, and these are my associates. Our job is

    “We will kill him right?” Miriam asked, as they stepped out of the camp, and turned around to look at it again, reliving what they had seen in there. “We need to. He is evil. Why will a sane man work with a vampire? Is he crazy?” Olivera just couldn’t understand the foolishness, no matter how much she tried. Why would one make a deal with an almost eternal wickedness? Had he no fear for his life, for his family? “I think he is crazy. Evil-y crazy. But that’s by the way. What are we going to do now?” Olivera looked around the camp, and spat in disgust. “We will burn it down. We will burn it until it’s nothing but dust. We will eradicate this curse from the face of the earth.” Miriam couldn’t agree less, but then she remembered that the ancients might have use for the materials in there. Olivera, having sensed the latter’s thoughts, shook her head. “They won’t be needing it. I’ve already transferred the necessary details to Raul, and Jacob. They can take it up from there. The mater

    “Do you think anyone is in there?” Olivera asked Miriam, immediately she shifted to human self. Miriam looked at her clothed self and smiled. “Seems you have gotten the best hang of shifting, and still keeping your clothes on.” Olivera shrugged her shoulders. “There was no other choice. I can’t keep going up and down with my clothes in my hands or mouth. Since I’m part ancient, I have to improvise.” She took in a deep breath, inhaling the air tainted with magic and something else. “This place is tainted with magic. You smell it?” She shook off the imaginary dirt on her clothes, just in case, whilst waiting for Miriam’s reply. When she looked up, her friend was smiling. “What’s tickling your fancy? I don’t think my question has that much prowess…” Miriam cackled. “I never thought riding on a wolf would be so exhilarating. If I had known, I would have befriended a werewolf, and snagged rides every week at least. It’s quite freeing and therapeutic.” Olivera nodded. It was just as
