ALICIA'S P.O.V"Please sit," She said, making her way to the chair beside Silas as she sat down and her eyes were fixed on me.I observed her attitude and they were beyond measure. There was no doubt about her beauty and elegance but her attitude and body language were quite immature and one couldn't help but wonder how Silas was comfortable with her acting the way she was.From the looks on his face he didn't care any less. It seemed like it was okay with him so I convinced myself it shouldn't be taken too personally. Come to think of it, maybe that could be her personality and because I had a mother that was a little more decent didn't mean the parents of others had to be."So… Tell me, what did you want to ask?" Suzy asked as her eyes lit expectantly."Is it okay that I am here? if you wish I can give you two some privacy," Silas said."No, it's fine," I answered, then looked again at his mother. "I just wanted to know if perhaps we might have met before,""Of course darling. We me
MARCUS P.O.VAfter my conversation with Alicia I escorted her out of the hotel until we arrived at a crossroad where she took a cab leaving back to her house.I would have loved to escort her to her doorstep but I couldn't because I knew we had a stalker watching us just a few meters away."You can come out now Silas," I said as soon as the taxi drove off. Under the night sky Silas walked out of the shadows as he stopped about five feet away.I could still see him struggle with the irritation. His hands were handing down and his eyes were very visible."I can see now that nothing stands between you and her," he said."What are you doing here?" I asked."Nothing," he replied. "I don't see anything wrong with checking up on my old classmate,"I got agitated as soon as he said those words as I zoomed towards him. I lifted my hand to strike him but seeing he didn't quiver or prevent me I stopped my hands.My angry eyes were firm on him with my right hand hanging in the air."I don't think
MARCUS P.O.VThe winds were still boisterous and without doubt I knew if I were human the snow hood I was in wouldn't be able to prevent me from the cold.It was still snowing heavily while I ventured into the factory. There was no one there, probably they didn't show up as a result of the forecast that today's weather was going to be intense.I stuck my hands into my side pocket while I forged ahead. My face was forward but my ears were alert; at least sharp enough to filter the noise of the boisterous wind from the chatter of anything that crossed my part.Although there was no sight of any visible threat, I was sure I was not alone, I had company and in fact they were numerous. I have not been attacked, rather I have just ventured into the territory of a rival pack.Strolling all the way forward I picked up my first signal. I was being followed. I knew so well that fighting back wouldn't do me any good because I was at their mercy so I stopped."I know you are out there, I can sens
ALICIA'S P.O.VFirstly, Silas’s mother called me a stinging red wine. From our conversation earlier it was obvious that she was hiding something from me. Even when I mentioned the name Flynn her eyelashes flickered.There was definitely something wrong and I have to find out what it is. After all, I am the daughter of a cop, so I have to handle this myself.I didn't know I would find myself in this position but I had to keep my eyes on Suzy. I had to find out the truth.That morning it was still snowing boisterously and I was in a cab a few meters away from her house. I was waiting for Suzy to leave the house and when she did I instructed the cab driver to follow her vehicle.We followed her from a distance, the ride seemed unending and the road was unfamiliar. I didn't know such a place existed in California. It was lonely and further away from the city.I watched her vehicle stop before a large estate as she stepped out of the car then walked in through the gate.I paid the cabdrive
MARCUS P.O.V"Marcus, Marcus," I heard Alicia’s voice in my head followed by beautiful sounds of her laughter. I was having the most beautiful dream about her before my eyes opened and I realized I was alone in a small room.Still feeling dizzy I hovered my eyes around at the shelves which were on either side then I glanced at my wrist only to realize that I was currently on drip.My head ached when I made attempts to sit up and the ache was backed up with flashbacks of what had happened to me earlier in the oil factory.Struggling, I gently put my feet on the floor. Sitting upright I heard the screeching sound of the door."Marcus, you are awake," Stiles said barging into the room as he approached the bed where I was seated."What is this place?" I asked."It's an animal clinic. You were badly injured and needed urgent treatment so I brought you here,:"An animal clinic?" I lift my gaze to him with a frown on my face."What is wrong with it? Would you have rather prepared that I went
ALICIA'S P.O.V"What would you like to be offered," I asked Marcus as soon as we walked in. Not getting any feedback I turned to him only to meet his constant stare. "Why are you staring at me that way?""What way?" He returned the question to me then flinched, taking his gaze to the television set."You were giving me the look," I answered."What look?""The kind of look you give to someone when you like them,""Well you should know by now that I love you," He said idly while approaching the television set."Hmm… I guess I won't get used to you saying that anytime soon," I replied. I walked to the fridge as I poured in two glasses of pineapple drink. Walking back to the sitting room I found him seated on a sofa chair with the remote control. The television was on and there was a movie currently playing.Staring at me he tapped the vacant space beside him. I chuckled as I sat by his side and handed him a glass of drink. I leaned my head on his shoulder.This is how I like it. His scen
MARCUS P.O.VWhat is she hiding from me? What is so difficult that she won't tell me? I thought to myself. I left her in the house but I had one person in mind, he was the only Vampire who I knew was close to her."Silas," I whispered the name of my suspect with my eyes fixed on the road. It never mattered if the cab driver knew how upset I was or not.Why now, why will he tempt me now that I am close to asking him for a favour? I thought, frowning my face in anger.Some minutes later the cab driver pulled over in a large field. It was the same field where I was seated the night Silas gave me the bracelet. I came out of the taxi and after paying for the ride I looked ahead and from the distance I spotted him seated on a bench with his gaze at some youths who were playing football."Silas!" I exclaimed while approaching as he turned to me. "Didn't I warn you never to come close to hear again," I said, throwing a punch to his face.The strength of my fist bowed him down and in a split s
MARCUS P.O.V"I also think my parents could be right, especially considering the great disappearance of citizens in the city," Silas said. "However, is that all you wanted to ask me?""Not really. I want to know what your parents said is the easiest way to kill a vampire?" I heard her question him. This was the problem with ignorance, seeing how easily and quick she was to trust him felt like an arrow poked through my heart.She was asking a vampire how to kill his kind. Living ignorantly in a mysterious world was going to get her killed. Maybe she was right when she asked me to turn her into a werewolf, in that way her life will be less at risk.I watched Silas lean his elbow on the table with his eyes fixed on her. "Why do you want to know that?" He asked."I'll explain it to you later on but I need you to tell me if your parents said anything," She answered.Silas stared at her a little longer then sat upright again. "Alicia… Thinking something like that is absurd. Vampires are not
