Drexa's CompoundDrexa had a frown when she saw Rose's body. Rose's neck had been snapped to a very unlikely position which might've killed her. After carefully inspecting the body, she straightened up and tossed her gloves to a man standing next to her. "Prepare a burial." "I will consecrate her myself." Crassus suddenly said. Crassus wasn't surprised as she had expected him to say something sooner. She stared between Crassus and Camille, the two people found at the scene of Rose's death. "I believe you were with Rose during her dying moment and she must've shared some things with you. What are they?" She asked with a light flick of her finger. Crassus scoffed, "You just lost a very important vampire and all you can think of is the fact she must've left a message for you? So unbelievable, Drexa!" Drexa wasn't ready to exchange words with Crassus so she just clapped her hands twice and a dozen armed men appeared in front of her. Without looking at Crassus and Camille, she ord
M walked out of the back of the van and walked towards his subordinate. "Were you able to get any words out of her?" The man asked and Andrew nodded. "It's the same thing with the other witches. They saw the same visions. But Ivory said her grandmother would mumble out words and ask her to take notes as she had become really forgetful." M started with a sigh. "The same thing happened the day she died. Her grandmother had been rambling about seeing the rest of the vision. But just like the others, a sword sprang up and killed her. However, she mumbled some words before she died." M concluded and dipped his hand into his pocket. He retracted it with a small book, "I made sure to spell out the world, destruição e caos. If I'm not wrong, this is Portuguese and it means doom and chaos. Andrew, I feel we're missing something." "She must've tried to leave a message for us. She probably saw the other part of the vision." As soon as Andrew was done speaking, someone called out to them.
~Ashley~"What did you say?" I asked as I turned around but saw no one. Gatlin lowered his eyes and rubbed them slightly, "I thought I saw someone behind you. I've not slept for two days so I might be seeing things." I nodded but still glanced around. It was one thing that Gatlin told me someone was behind me but it was another when I really felt the presence of someone behind me. "Five hours before the game, don't you think you should use 2 hours to get some rest, an hour or two to train and then get ready with the last hour?" Keller suggested after taking a look at the time. "True. And you also need to talk with Cassie, the girl you had locked away from the world." Gatlin added with a smile. "Right. What did you do with the demon who possessed Cassie?" I asked as soon as I remembered. Gatlin's hand which was about to turn to the next page of the book paused. Then he raised his eyes and answered, "I made sure he'd never be able to possess another person again.""And how did you
Rebecca hadn't gone far when she recalled she had to check up on something. She stopped before a flower stall and purchased roses from them. She headed towards a remote part of the mountain near to the city where a grave was constructed with the name 'Cassidy Elsher' on it.After running her finger around it with teary eyes, Rebecca dropped the flowers gently on the grave, then she squatted to have a brief talk with the tomb. "I'm sorry for not coming last week. I've been occupied with some things. You probably already know about Ashley's situation."She stopped and looked up to the skies to avoid her tears from falling. When she looked down again, she added, "Your absence is still greatly felt by me and Ashley and we're doing everything we can to console ourselves." "While I distort the fact that I miss you, she's probably in constant denial of such a great mother that you would've been." She completed her sentence after a moment of silence.The strong hearted Rebecca Henderson ha
EverMore Academy~Ashley~When I saw Rebecca, I felt the sudden pressure I've been having ever since I got to the school get lifted off my shoulders. Then I ran to her. We stood opposite each other with a bright smile. "When I heard about the game, I made it my aim to attend. I mean I have to." Rebecca breathed out with a sigh. I chuckled. "It's good to see you after so many months, Rebecca." Cassie said as she finally got to us. Unlike I who had used a little vampire speed, she had run like a human the whole time and was exhausted. Rebecca looked down at Cassie and her grin lessened. "Cassie, I'm happy you're still alive." "Thanks to Ashley I'm still alive." Cassie replied and straightened up. I moved my hands uncomfortably beside me before I heard a snort from Cassie. "Okay, are you two going to engage in a bone crushing hug or I should walk away?" She sneered and the urge to clamp her mouth eroded me. While I was still organizing my thoughts, Rebecca reached out and drew
Kyle walked out of Drexa's house with a tight frown. He got outside to see his beta speaking to one of the vampires. The duo's eyes met and his beta walked up to him. "Alpha." His Beta greeted with a slight bow of his head. "I wasn't expecting you, Rowland." Kyle replied with a confused expression. Rowland held up the phone in his hand with a helpless look. "I've been trying to reach you but each time, the call doesn't get answered." Kyle sighed as he recalled the two numbers which kept calling. He had zeroed his mind on both of them as he naturally thought the two numbers belonged to Willow. "I didn't know you were the one." He said and took out his phone. Rowland lowered his head in embarrassment. "I'm sorry for coming, Alpha, I couldn't sit still when you didn't answer and dared to harbor the thought something had happened to you." Kyle shook his head and got into his car. "Since you've come, there's nothing that can be done at this point rather than let you stay. So get i
EverMore Academy ~Ashley~Before I walked back to the game, a hand drew me into a corner. I looked up to see a familiar pair of eyes. "You…finally showed up." I smiled. He returned the smile and slowly let go of me. He's cologne stuck to my nose like a second skin and I couldn't help inhaling it hurriedly. "Relax. A human would choke on that." He said and reached out to touch my forehead. "I've not had blood today. I guess that's the reason for my mood. Who did you kill?" I asked."No one, I only fed and remembered you haven't fed, so I got you a pint." He chuckled and reached into his pocket to take out a pint of blood. I grabbed it and sucked it dry before tossing it aside. "Whose blood is this? It tastes so nice." I moaned in nourishment. "The boy who you compelled this morning." "Have you been around all this while and have been hiding?" I shrugged slightly. "I had something to take care of. You should return to the game before they notice your presence." He said instead
"Where I kept my original body has nothing to do with you?" Heaven scoffed and raised her right hand towards Liam almost immediately, "Saisir!" However, Liam kept walking towards her. Flustered, Heaven glanced at her hand, "I don't understand. That was supposed to work!" "Don't beat yourself up too much, Patricia." He chuckled and reached for his collar. When he drew it to the side, she gasped. "Where did you get that? I destroyed those things long ago." Heaven rasped and the man nodded. "Cassidy keeps things in pairs. Her love for her unborn daughter moved her to duplicate literally everything she had. I got my hands on this to protect myself from nuisances like you." Seeing that all her options had run out, Heaven glanced around the place and suddenly grabbed a knife which was nearby. "My life might not mean anything to you but Heaven won't like to be stuck in a body like mine." Liam tilted his head to the side as he asked, "Are you threatening me?" "I'm not threatening you
