Back at the Dagon's CribThe two stayed in silence for a long time before Dagon broke it again. "I don't know what's going through your head but I want you to know that we have to bring Ashley out of there. Caddel isn't the only demon there." Rebecca whose eyes looked dead looked up at him again. "I'm suddenly so tired. How do I explain to her that she has two fathers because her father fell in love with a demon but to keep her safe?" "Then don't tell her. Only in that way can you keep her safe." The man shrugged. "That would've been easy if I listened to her before and refrained from sending her to EverMore." The woman sighed. "As much as that should bother you, I want you to know that he showed me something else." Dagon broke into her thoughts. He continued when he was sure he had her attention. "Do you remember his brother who hated him so much?" "Yoel." Rebecca replied. "Yes, Yoel. If you remember clearly, there was a rumor of him going after Cassidy but she turned him down
Drexa's Compound"So you're saying you can't track Mia Melly?" Drexa asked the witch in front of her slowly. The girl nodded and the next second, Drexa had her beating heart in her palm. She glanced around the other witches threateningly."If you can't be of any use to me then I'll let my vampires feast on you!" She threatened. When she was sure they got her message, she threw the heart on the dead witch's body and stormed out of the left wing. Crassus was the only one left and he roo stared at them, but with pity or maybe feigned pity. "Are we just going to let Drexa kill us whenever she thinks we've served her purpose! We are witches, we're not supposed to fear anyone!" One of the young witches said in agitation. She was, however, shunned by the one in charge. "Be careful the next time you say that or those might be the last words you utter." The young girl went silent almost immediately. And although the others didn't dare say all she had said, the brief nod they gave showed
After Cassie left, Ashley turned to Keller with an anxious look while raising the tester she had given her. It had changed from green to red. And according to Keller's words earlier, when it's that way, it's impossible to save the person. "Don't you think there's something we're forgetting?" Keller suddenly asked. Ashley looked at her and shook her head. "No, I don't." "I feel this is all Heaven's distraction for us not to investigate what we saw that night. And by the way, I did research on the stone which the blood was poured on." Keller stopped just before the door opened and Taylor walked in smooching with Chanel. Ashley had a disgusted expression as she walked out with Keller. They hadn't left the right wing when they came in contact with Steven. "Hey, it's been a long time since I last saw you." The boy said with a smile. But how could Ashley, who was just learning that her roommate wasn't who she claimed to be and her best friend was possessed, believe him just because
EverMore Academy~Ashley~The hallway was filled up as usual and as I walked through, I had this feeling I was missing something. "Did you just say we have to play against the humans!" I heard and turned to my side. It was a werewolf and from the look on her face, I affirmed I was really missing something. I stopped before my locker and pulled it open. When I shut it back, I almost slammed into an unfamiliar yet very handsome face. "Hello, I'm Cad." He quickly introduced. I narrowed my eyes at him, unable to tell his identity for a few seconds. Then I turned intending to walk away. "I've been watching you. You seem to be confused." He said as he quickly walked beside me. "I might be confused but that doesn't mean I'll have to ask a stalker I never knew existed what is going on." I retorted, hastening my pace, but somehow, he caught up with me again. "I'm sorry, but I have to borrow her." Keller said as soon as we came across each other. "Okay. Bye Ashley." Cad said and walked
In A Hotel RoomMarcellus had his eyes closed when the door was pushed open by Claire who entered the room in a hurry. "Alpha, I found something." Her voice shook as she spoke. "I found Maverick." The man's eyes snapped open at the mention of his brother's name. However, he shut it back the next second. "My parents are dead. And my brother is also dead to me." He said. "I would've said same, Alpha, but I got Intels that he is working for a Mafia group. There was a news about a Mafia don who died a month ago. Turns out Maverick was the one who killed the don." Marcellus opened his eyes again and got up. "Maverick always forces me to act. And I swear I will kill him whenever I set my eyes on him again." He turned to see Claire with an uneasy look on his face. "Are you alright?" She shook her head and drew nearer. "Alpha, I heard something about Ashley Nicholas." Marcellus narrowed his eyes coldly at the sound of that. "The one who massacred some of our pack members?" "Yes, Al
Rebecca pinned her eyes on Raven for quite some time before she sighed and walked down to the compound. "I thought you were dead." Rebecca said smugly. Raven revealed a bright smile accompanied with the words, "You sound very disappointed. But I'm thankful that you thought of me at least."Rebecca glanced around the compound and breathed out a sigh of relief seeing her vampires safe. "If these aren't my vampires, then who are they?" Rebecca asked doubtfully. Raven looked down at the dead bodies and grinned. "I don't know. I grabbed them from where I knew yours won't be." "Are you aware they're either Gilles' or Drexa's?" Rebecca huffed in disbelief. "Yeah yeah." The latter said with a grinned. "I heard about your war with my sister. And I also heard about my niece.Rebecca glanced at her and answered half-heartedly. "Yes." "My sister will not stop until she has that girl's heart in her palms. I'm sure you know that." Raven said again, this time, flashing one of her annoying smi
Drexa's Compound "There's been news of Raven's arrival." Camille said, bowing slightly in front of Drexa. From a glance, Drexa could tell Camille wasn't relaxed. She really didn't care but since she needed Camille so much, she had to act like she cared at least. "What are you thinking about?" Camille paused and raised her eyes to look at Drexa. "It's nothing you should be worried about." Camille replied and lowered back her head. "I don't want your attention to be divided, Camille. This is a very sensitive time for my and my vamps. If Raven is really in town like you said, that means she has come to kill me." Drexa snorted. "So be frank with me, what is it that is bothering you?" After a moment of hesitation, Camille came clean. "Samuel has been lurking around Willow and I am not comfortable with it." Drexa narrowed her eyes at those words before a frown settled on her face. "Camille, as far as Kyle, Ashley and Rebecca are alive, she will remain Kyle's daughter to the world.
EverMore~Ashley~"So we have two kinds of feeders. The ones who feed until their victims run out of blood or the ones who feed and replenish then feed again..." I had my eyes pinned on my desk as she spoke. I only looked up at her when I felt my pen which had been dormant on the table vibrate. She had also stopped and gas her eyes pinned on the floor which was also vibrating. "The Principal should have an explanation for this. Don't panic, I'll be right back." I heard her say before the door slammed shut. I sighed and glanced around the boundary spell Taylor had performed to have me seated for the class. I saw someone leaning on the window frame from my peripheral view. When I turned around, I saw no one. I stared intently at the glass to see if anything had changed but saw nothing. I sighed in exasperation and faced my front again. The door was suddenly kicked open and Keller ran in. "Why are you not leaving? Classes have been dismissed as the Principal fears that something
"Look at that. A perfect union of a mother and her daughter. And is that rage I see in your eyes? Beautiful!" Bardot exclaimed as he clapped his hands slowly. Ashley narrowed her eyes at Bardot's unfamiliar face. "I take it you're the stubborn sibling because I did see one of the Elshers on the floor with a dagger in his heart." "Don't worry, he'll be coming along with you and your mother. He's useless to me alive anyway." Bardot replied and raised the stake in his hand. But before he took a step forward, he felt the earth shake. He thought it was his imagination but the same thing happened again. He glanced behind him to see the people with him were equally shocked as well. Then he turned his attention to Ashley to see a group of people walking towards them in an organized manner. They wore casual clothes but that didn't hide the viciousness in their eyes as they stopped just behind Ashley and gazed at him. "Oh, I think I forgot to say something." Queenie sighed with a smile. P
Mia's Apartment, in the cellar Ashley watched Mia draw a big circle on the floor with a white chalk. As the woman drew it, Ashley felt a piercing gaze on her and glanced towards its direction only to see Iris. She sighed and folded her arms underneath her breasts. At this point, she had no doubt this girl would kill her if she was given a stake to drive into her heart. "Alright, Ashley." Mia said as soon as she was done. She straightened up and walked towards Ashley. "Just bleed some of your blood over there and go lie in the circle." Ashley walked over to the bowl Mia had pointed at and bit down on her palm. She repeated the process more than three times due to her quick healing. After a considerable amount had dripped into the bowl, she relented. She wiped her palm on her dress and walked into the circle. She laid down in it and closed her eyes. Soon, Mia took hold of Cassie and laid her right beside Ashley. "I need you to hold her hand. I need a connection between you two. A
"I don't know. I should be asking you." Drexa replied with a frown. She has risked her life coming here only to find out Taylor had no idea how to unlock the safe. "Do you have any idea what the safe was like when your parents were still alive?" Drexa asked but Taylor shook her head. "I was just a child. I think I was just 2. What would I remember?" Taylor asked rhetorically and Drexa frowned even harder. "Think Taylor. By coming to you I'm putting my life on the line. Cassidy will kill us both if she finds out this is what we discussed." Drexa paused and glanced towards the vampires she had killed outside the door. She turned back to Taylor to see the girl looking at her with a horrified expression. "I'm glad you get it. My siblings and I have already tried to kill Cassidy before and she surprisingly spares us but that means we'll be her slave for eternity. And other than that, she's going to continue wrecking havoc." "I know, I understand what you're trying to say. Without the
"Aunt Mia, what is she doing in your house?" Iris asked Mia, totally ignoring Ashley. Seeing this, Ashley smiled and relaxed on the chair. Then she looked between Iris and Mia. "This is Ashley Elsher, the daughter of Cassidy Elsher." Mia introduced them with a smile. Obviously, Iris hadn't recounted what Ashley had done to her in EverMore to Mia. "And I want you two to be good friends." Mia added. "No!" The two girls shouted at the same time. Ashley had only been nice to Iris because she was Mia's niece. Who said she cared about being friends with such a horrible person like Iris! "Don't worry, you'll get to love each other." Mia merely said with a light smile and directed his attention back to Cassie who was still unconscious. The name Ashley had mentioned came back and her smile faded. "Did you say Yoel?" She asked and Ashley nodded. When Ashley saw the look on Mia's face, she automatically knew the woman knew Yoel as well. "He's a jerk. He happily recounted to me all he had
Bardot opened his eyes to find himself in an unfamiliar room. The first thing he recalled was the sight of Drexa driving a stake into his heart. He quickly tried to get up but discovered he felt extremely weak in his arms. "I think you've been daggered and kept in a box for close to six months. Or is it more than that?" He heard a familiar voice say and slowly turned to affirm his suspicion. "Disappointed?" Cassidy asked upon seeing the horrified look on his face. Bardot quickly turned his face away from her. "I can't say I'm happy to see you until you've handed over the stake in your possession." He said weakly. "So you guys can finally kill me with it permanently? No, thank you." Seh retorted with a scoff. "It's either you get up in the next ten seconds, or you remain daggered in a box for the rest of your immortal life. If you're lucky, someone can stumble upon you and free you. If you're lucky." "What? Are you back to being the controlling freak that you really are?" He said
Damien watched over his people with a wide grin on his face. He noticed someone watching him and turned towards her direction. "If I didn't know better, I would've mistaken that look for admiration." He said, walking over to her. Claire, who had her hands folded across her chest, unfolded it and slipped them into her pocket. She watched the people as well without a word. "I've been thinking about your offer." She sighed, her shoulders slumping down in defeat. "I was born a beta, being a Luna isn't a future I imagined for myself." Damien smiled and placed both hands on her shoulder. She stiffened as his masculinity drove her crazy, courtesy of the mating effect. "You are sympathetic, you've been part of the crowd for way too long so you know the people best. In my opinion, you know the people more than I do. You'll be the perfect fit for Luna." He said. Claire said nothing but when the effect of the mating bond kept increasing, she pushed him away and stormed out of there. Damie
Texas "And where have you been?" Keller heard as soon as she got into the house. She slipped both hands into her pocket and turned to look at Liam with a frown. "I've been out with Zelena." She retorted and the man's cold eyes only became colder. He got up and grabbed her arms. "I've known Zelena longer than you ever will and I'm telling you that whatever you're feeling for her is just how she wants you to feel. You need to snap out of it." He said, his tone sounding more like an order. Keller wriggled her way out of his arm and glared at him fiercely. "Don't talk about feelings. You don't have one so I don't expect you to know how it feels to have it." She walked away from him but got blocked by Rebecca who appeared out of nowhere. "Keller, I'm sorry if we pushed you into this and it turned a little real. But the truth remains that Zelena has to die to guarantee Ashley's safety." Rebecca said with a small smile. "Are you sure this is about Ashley or you two are making it up to
Cassidy walked out of her room only to come face to face with Ashley who was about to enter hers. Ashley had totally forgotten her room was just opposite Cassidy's. "I haven't seen you in days. Where have you been?" Cassidy asked as she walked out of her room properly and closed the door. Ashley thought of ignoring her but decided against it. Yoel had told her a lot of things at the bar and she thought she could confirm it at most. "Tell me mother, how many fathers do I have?" Ashley asked. Her question took Cassidy by surprise. The woman first drew her lips into a thin line before sighing. "Mind if we go for a walk?" Ashley nodded and the mother and daughter walked out of the house. "How did you know about it?" Cassidy asked on their way. "You tell me what I want to know and I won't waste any time in telling you what you want to know." Ashley replied. The corners of Cassidy's lips curled into a smile. No one was authorized to bargain with her yet, this little one here said so
"Caddel?" Ashley repeated with a small frown. "Is it the Caddel I know or I'm I missing something?" "Yep. It's the Caddel you know. The teenage looking guy who came up to you a few weeks ago claiming he wants to be friends with you." Yoel affirmed. Ashley was in a little bit of a shock as she slowly connected the dots together in her mind. He had been so convincing when he told her he wanted to be her friend. Despite her harsh words to him, he persevered. So that's why. "If Caddel is your brother and he is my father. Then that makes you my uncle. But at the same time, I don't believe you because the theory about having two fathers is something that has never been heard of in the history of supernaturals or even humans." Ashley refuted, part of her clinging onto that. She refused to believe she really had two fathers. "Look at you looking so sullen and in self-denial. I bet it must be a very bad feeling." Yoel laughed coldly and leaned towards her, "Also, Cassidy is just a few witc
