THE MYSTERIOUS JAKE(1527) Lucas was turning and tossing, sweating profusely. "I will always love you. save him!""She has been bitten! Ruuuuuun!!!" He screamed as he woke up, breathing fast like someone who just ran a marathon.Sis Felicidad ran into his room in fear because she had been hearing his screams. She sat beside him, rubbing his hair to calm him down."What is wrong, my child? Did you have a bad dream?" She asked, with concern written all over her face."Yes, but, it felt so real ma'am Felicidad." Lucas said while he tried to catch his breath."What did you see dear?" She asked."A pregnant woman, there was also a commotion, a few people were running away, while some stayed. It's all so vivid, so I can't really say.""It's just a dream my dear." Sis Felicidad convinced him."It's 5am, get some more sleep, since you're still on leave. You will be fine, my child." She said, pat him on the shoulder and left.Lucas found it hard falling back asleep but he did eventually.Carl
SAVE THE COMMISSIONER AND CONGRESSMAN (1628)"Jake?" Carla asked, as she definitely was not expecting to see him."Carla hi, are you okay?" Jake asked as he checked her body for any visible bruise."I'm fine." She said as she pulled herself from his grasp."Were you following me?" She asked because she hates being stalked."Definitely not! I saw some strange movements in the alley, I figured it was some damned creature lurking around and I decided to follow it. Thankfully I came at the right time". He said."Can I walk you home?" He asked.Jake couldn't bear to leave Carla, especially not after she almost got bitten by a vampire."No thank you. I'd do just fine on my own, goodnight." She said as she waved to him.Jake contemplated on going home or following her. He followed her until he saw her get into a house which he considered her home, and left for his house.Carla walked into the dark sitting room, then slowly found her way to the fridge to get a cup of juice. She gulped on it s
ONE THING LED TO ANOTHER (1504)"Supreme one, we have brought a gift for you, you will like it." Fernando sounded unsure of what he just said."And what is that?" The Scourge asked with his back turned against them."The.. c- congressman", Fernando stuttered."And the Commissioner?" The Scourge asked.Fernando refused to keep talking and poked Zayn to talk. The Scourge turned to look at them."He was a- able to get away f- f- from us". "You're useless!" The Scourge yelled and they were thrown across the room."A group hindered us from getting the Commissioner. They caught us off guard and outnumbered us. We are sorry. " Fernando said."A group? Were they mortals?" The Scourge asked, more interested."Yes they were, but they had instruments capable of killing Vampires. They were also very fast." He reported."The Guardians, they are the only ones who have trained humans to be strong enough to fight the vampire or any of my creations. I killed all of them, except they've started recrui
THE INFILTRATION, REVEAL, DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF CARLA (1536)Carla tried to turn but felt pains all over body, especially on her face. She slowly opened her eyes to see her aunty looking at her like she almost died."What happened?" Carla asked as she tried to sit up."You almost got yourself killed when you ran into the road. The Good Samaritan brought you home, thank your God he is not a pervert." Jasmine said."Did you get his name?" Carla asked."No I didn't", Dona said as she walked in with 3 cups of tea and slices of bread. "Tell us what happened", Jasmine curiously asked.Carla told them about the ordeal and her new mission. In two days her bruise should be healed a bit so she could wear makeup and begin her mission. Carla's aunty, Jasmine, already contacted her work place to take a three days break. Carla also dropped a text to the night chasers to let them know about her ordeal.Since Lukas woke up, he couldn't stop himself from worrying about Carla. During his lunch bre
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF THE SUPERNATURAL(1761)Lucas was walking through Allison Avenue. He knew this was what he wanted, finding Justice and getting revenge on the Vampires. He went through the identification procedures and got in. He was impressed with the structure. He looked around."Lucas, you are welcome to the Night Chasers. i am Professor Logan, the head of this organization", Logan said. No member of the Night Chasers was present so Logan asked Lucas to fight him to test his strength. He successfully challenged Logan but needed more training, Logan thought to himself.Lucas was then briefed on the Night Chaser's goal, and about the greater battle, and how the organization must remain a secret."You have successfully passed the screening. You are now an official member of the Night Chasers. Tomorrow you'd be introduced to the other members.Jasmine walked in to see Carla crying. She rushed to her side."I remember Aunt, I remember everything. I remember how I got separated
JAKES ANGER/ CARLA'S DATE(1811)The followers of the Scourge were dressed as campaign members and those searching for jobs in the lair, ready to carry out the task The Scourge had given."I want my followers to increase and disperse around the world, but it begins with us so do not fail me today. Be discreet", The Scourge instructed."Yes Supreme one", they all chorused as they sped out.The Night Chasers members including Lucas and Jake were around and ready to go on the mission. Carla walked in and the first person she saw was Lucas. He stared at her but she just looked away."Maybe she is still angry with me", Lucas thought to himself. He decided to go talk to her but Jake beat him to it."Hi Carla", Jake said with a handsome smile. "Oh wow! I just realized he has a nice set of teeth", Carla thought within her. He snaps her out of thought."You were away for quite a while, is everything okay?" Jake asked."Of course it is ", Carla said with a smile."You look really good today, e
(1750)Carla finally slept well after a week of challenges and bad dreams, and it was all because of Lucas. She wasn't going to work, not until she was asked to return to work. It was 9am and Carla was ready to visit Starbucks so she could see Lucas."Well, well, well… What's the secret?" Jasmine inquired"I don't know what you're talking about that aunt", Carla blushed."The reason behind that glow and wide smile on your face of course! Who is he?" her eyes sparkled, Jasmine missed hearing love stories."He is just my friend, aunt. We are nothing more yet.""Ouuuuu, yet. Well let me know when you're something more, I give the best relationship advice. Say hello to your lover, I know you want to go see him right now ". Jasmine said"Yes aunt", Carla reddened as she headed out.She decided to go over to Dona's house first to check on her. She knocked but got no answer. She got worried so she took the spare key from the spot Dona kept it for her and got in.The first thing she saw was
"Hush! I just heard someone behind the trees", Luis whispered, surrounded by the chill wind with the smell of death, tall trees over 300 years old and now a nest for hummingbirds, hooting owls."Or maybe I'm just being paranoid, must have been the wind, there's definitely nothing to worry about", barely convincing himself.Overcome by fear Alvaro said.."Mira qué cabrón! I told you it's a bloody risk coming here. We both know the penalty that awaits who ever is caught wandering around this sacred site..Fuck this! I'm leaving".This site is believed to be the home of the supreme god of Méxica, Huitzilopochtli. On it is an old mansion said to have been a sacred altar of the Huitzilopochtli and declared forbidden to the sight of an ordinary man. Even now in the 90s, the hallowed rule remains.Now running back through the dark, creepy, rarely treaded path of El Padrino, Luis stopped and wondered if he made the right decision leaving his best friend there.He could already the see the street
"You are not really here for the food, are you? You are aware that even without your consent I make breakfast, lunch and dinner for you." Constance looked up at his face as she addressed him. The valet was quiet and she became uncomfortable. "Barnes, what is going on? Please does Mr. Bucknall want me out of the job?" She asked him, tired of his silence. "Not really! Master really likes your food and all. We are worried about you. You were not like the Constance we met the first evening, who was bold, fiery and talked like Mary. You speak to yourself." Barnes explained as Constance roughly chopped basil leaves."I speak to myself, how?" Constance asked as she took the pot to drain the pasta. The aroma of the tomato sauce she was cooking filled their nostrils as Barnes opened the lid. "When I saw you jogging around the chalet this morning at exactly eight fifteen, you were talking to yourself like you were insane or something. Also, you forget yourself easily. Look the tomato sauce is
"Mr. Bucknall, your breakfast is served." Constance said as she entered the lounge where Elliott sat and she almost missed a step. "Why on earth does he choose to work bare chested? Does he not realise the danger in that." She thought as he stood up and closed his laptop."Thank you Constance, you can leave." Elliott instructed as he passed by her. "Sir! I am sorry for the way I spoke yesterday. I did not want anything to go wrong when we visited." Constance said wringing her fingers. Elliott just looked at her and shook his head."Mr. Bucknall you are not saying anything." She hurried after him almost hitting his back as he walked on. She could smell the musky scent of his cologne. "I have absolutely nothing to say. You were right and I was wrong. They are your children not mine." Elliott said as he walked on. "I did not really mean to be rude. I was just..." Constance was cut off by his stern stare."You can take your leave Constance. When it is time to prepare lunch you can then co
"Barnes hope my dinner is served." Elliott asked as he came in. The house was filled with the rich scent of roast mutton and crisp bacon and his mouth watered. "Yes Sir. You can proceed to eat after changing into more appropriate wears." Barnes replied with a chuckle. "I know I am so excited, it’s not every day you come home to a well cooked meal. How did we ever survive without Constance by the way?" Elliott asked Barnes as they both walked to his room. "I don't know Sir. But I am grateful she's here. I don't have to depend on those boiled broccoli dinners." Barnes chatted happily."How is she? I mean mentally, Is she good?" Elliott turned to face him, his expression was serious. "I don't mean to gossip but she is not okay. She is always in the air, she talks to herself and she forgets herself a lot." Barnes answered solemnly. "Okay. Where is she?" Elliott asked as Barnes helped him change into a polo and jeans."In the chalet with her twins." Barnes said as he folded up the clothes
She groaned as he pulled her closer, and she pushed him off. "Why on earth are you doing this? For someone who does not regard? “She asked sarcastically. The look on his face made her gasp, she ran back. "I am sorry, I just needed to distract you. I wanted to get you to calm down." Elliott followed her as she left to the living room. "I would prefer you keep your hands and lips to yourself. Please don’t touch me. “She said as he motioned that they should be quiet.”I am not here to touch you. I am here to ask how you are, that is all. That kiss was a mistake. “Elliott replied as he sat down on the chair."It had better. As you can see we are fine and full. You can have your leave." She pointed to the door. Elliott smirked and shook his head. “What if I decide not to leave? I own everything here. You cannot chase me out." "Of course, you own all these. But Mr. Etiquette, you have not realized that there is something known as privacy. “Constance frowned as she stood akimbo."You seem to
"Well! Well! Well! I knew my boss knew talent when he sees one. Look at the ribs they look scrumptious. Just scrumptious!" Barnes exclaimed as he came in. Constance rolled her eyes and sat on the kitchen stool, everything ached in her. She kneaded for hours on end and some of the recipes called on full on manpower. She was surprised she made it out alive. "I am going to call in the Master..." Barnes was interrupted by a quick clap that scared the both of them. They both turned to face Elliott, who was dressed to the nines. Constance swallowed as she dragged her gaze over everything on him, it was like the tuxedo was molded on him. She caught his eyes and looked away as she saw disapproval. "For a married woman with children, you are quite the wayward one. But that is not the matter now. Barnes have a taste of the meals, I don't want my family poisoned." He said as he walked behind her. Constance drew a sharp breath as Barnes tasted each food murmuring his approval. "I am proud of yo
Constance got down from the car and looked around, everything here was palatial. The biggest hotel in the town with its teeming towers and bright lights. Elliott did not wait for her and she scurried after him."Mr. Elliott can you please wait?" but he moved on so fast. She almost missed the underground elevator as she ran in holding the paper bag, "You could have slowed your pace Mr. High and Mighty! You know I am shorter than you are." Constance looked at him, Elliott just ignored her and stayed as far as possible from her. "You are not saying anything at all? You are just quiet. Don't you have a tongue?" Elliott behaved like he was deaf. "Shut up!" A voice said from the speaker and she jumped looking around. The elevator opened suddenly as they stopped and a man dressed in complete butler's outfit stood at the door. "Err? Barnes this is the new chef." Elliott said as the man took his bag and her paper bag and eyed her, before smiling. "I assumed she was like your other temporary v
It was easy for anyone to notice that, the woman at the clearing desk for the supermarket was overworked and tired, her normal cheery smile and tone had vanished. For anyone around, the coffee brown skin, the cornrows, the braids, the scent of honey and herbs were a constant of Constance, no pun intended.Constance looked outside with forlorn eyes as she watched cars drive by, all headed to the new club. "God! I hate Marc! I hate him." She groaned as she rearranged the pile of sweets the seventh time. Her slim hands belied her weight and she disliked her obesity too, especially after she had her third child. She tried one of those TV exercise routines and she almost fainted, so she decided to go vegan. But she was failing terribly, because how would she make meals when this freaking store closes by midnight. She was lucky there was a shift. She looked around for customers, before popping one of the chocolate -covered coconut candy in her mouth."Delicious!" She sighed as she smacked h
CHAPTER 40A few months later, Carla's friend, Julie came to Baby shower dinner. Julie was taller than Carla and had a round face and thick brown hair, tied back from her face with a silver clip. She had long legs and wore her jeans rolled to her ankles and a blue T shirt tucked in at the top. She was such a pretty that anyone who saw her would want to have a good time with her. Trust men, they love beauties that drives them crazy, irresistibly. Turning to her left to beckon on her cousin, Ella, "oh... my.. world...!" Carla flinched, hopping out of her seat, running to meet her up as she screamed in excitement, abandoning every other thing she was doing at that time. "Is this you ..? It's really been a long... while ...!" Carla said as she hoppeed on Julie. "Yeah... it's been a long time now. How have you been?" Julie asked, spreading her arms for a warm and welcoming embrace with eyes flickering in excitement. "Come on over here babe, let me take you to my husband!" Carla said, pul
"Luca, what happened to you..? You look so different with little or no trace of identification of who you are back when I knew you! What the hell is going on here..?" Carla spat, almost holding her breath completely, with her eyes turning kind of pale like a dejected fellow, full of so much confusion and frustration, written all over her in return. Carla wasn't upset for lack of facts, or for having a single suspect to blame, but for the very moment when her connection was vulnerable. She's just a young girl, same as the previous lead of interest, yet she was sent in for a special assignment, something more complicated than usual. Yet the intense events she underwent, they made a lasting impression on this person, Lucas."Come on Carla, I'm good!" Lucas scoffed, as his eyes returned back into the usual shape."Hey! Hey! Hey! Lucas, do not go about catching fun with such stuff. It's not proper! Do you actually know that you got me so scared and worried..? Come on Lucas, you somehow ta
