I dreamt of Gaille growing to a fine lady. And in there she was with me...
And that dream is far from possible since she know me... And my identity will be revealed... I just hope that I will find my father soon before I see her being a lady.
Whitney jumped on to my bed to wake me up. She licked my face which tickles me.
"Hahaha, Whitney stop it. It's ticklish"
I wiped my cheeks which is filled by Whitney's saliva.
She jumped down as I leave my bed. I went to the bathroom and looked at my reflection.
Sea blue eyes, white complexion and wait... Why's my hair turned mahogany? Father what does this mean? It's so hard to be an immortal, and you're alone... You can't ask someone alike to you the querries in your head.
I opened the faucet and clear water flowed. I cup my hands to the flowing water, and it touches my face. It was refreshing. I brushed my teeth as mix thoughts filled my head again.
"If you want to leave, do it. Don't worry about me. Go in a year where peace is at hand..."
There is peace in this place, but my mind is restless.
I finished brushing my teeth and went to the kitchen to prepare something for Whitney. I lost my appetite. I cooked some liver, meat and few carrots for her.
After I gave her food, I went to the living room. I tried entertaining myself as I watch the television.
Cartoons, t.v series, movies, you name it. I binged watched and I noticed my eyes became heavier and heavier.
It was four in the afternoon when I woke up. Whitney is beside me in the couch. Her head was on my lap.
I stroked her fur, "You're like me, Whitney. Lucky for you, you don't need to ask anyone of your existence; your immortality"
I never noticed the tears that flowed down to my cheeks...
"I just want to jump time... Where Gaille is a lady. I'm sure that she's the woman I wanna marry..." I thought.
But... Does she feel the same?
I woke Whitney up and turned the t.v off.
"Whitney please stay here. I'm going somewhere. I'll just prepare the set of food you'll be needing." I kissed her head and went to the kitchen.
After that, I took a quick bath and got dressed. A simple white shirt with a little pocket on its right chest, a denim short and a pair of white sneakers which I bought a day ago in the boutique.
I went to the door and heard Whitney whined, "You'll be fine. I will return soon."
I pat her head and went out. I locked the door, I jumped in my car and started the engine. I manually open the gate and drive the car. As I close the gate someone stood beside the car. He waved his hand and smiled mysteriously.
"How is life, Samuel Kinsman?"
He was the cab driver. Seeing him made me lost all my blood in my face.
"Did I surprise you, Mr. Immortal?”
That does it, I opened an inch of the car window and spoke, "Who the hell are you?"
He chuckled, "So you did forgot me after those years?"
"I have no idea, who the hell are ya!" I just stayed in the car.
He smiled, "You seem troubled. If you want answers meet me at Dawson's pawnshop today. I'll reintroduce myself to you."
With two fingers, he salute to me and walked away. It left me gazing out of nowhere...
I drove the car out to the highway. Instead to the outskirts to Gaille's place, I went to Dawson's pawnshop to meet that maniac. Though hesitant, I'm curious of what's happening to me.
Emotions swirled, happiness, anger, excitement, fear. It seems the road was extending longer.
My hands which holds the steering wheel suddenly began to sweat. I was almost at Dawson's when I saw the man.
I parked the car at the empty lot beside the pawnshop. I hid my swiss knife in my waist.
I locked the car and walked up to him.
He just smiled. He walked inside and I cautiously followed. When I entered, a blinding light followed.
I heard screams, screams of pain, anguish... The screams of the war. Did he just teleported me?
I felt my energy was draining, I felt everything swirling, everything was crumbling down.
I lost my consciousness...
I hear voices, but I don't understand what they were saying. I don't have the strength to open my eyes nor move a finger... I felt helpless, weak and hopeless.I don't know how many minutes or hours had passed when I regained my strength. My hands and feet were tied, I was lying on a hospital like bed when I opened my eyes.I tilt my head from left to right , and there I saw the cab driver was sitting silently on the corner.He looked differently, he looked young unlike the first time we've met.He saw me struggling, "I see you're awake. Sorry to tie you up like that.""Why am I tied? What do you plan on doing to me? Did you teleported me?" I angrily said as I continued struggling.He took the chair with him and place it near the bed.I looked at him as I stopped struggling form my chains.He sat down, resting his head on his arms which leans on the chair's ba
Pietro stopped as we entered the place. He looked at me and there’s longing in how he looked at me. “Like what you see? It’s only available here.” he asked me.This place exists in the building? But how? It’s too far-fetched. It was like another world inside a building, in an urban area.Emerald fields that stretches like forever, the sun shines brightly and warm, as if someone is hugging and kissing your bare skin, different flowers are covering some of the parts of this world; roses, chrysanthemum, orchids that hang themselves on tree trunks, dandelion, tulips, you name it.There’s also fruit bearing trees; apples, bananas, star apples, mangoes, almost everything’s here; birds of paradise, primates, insects, mammals and so on.It was too good to be true.My eyes are wandering around, still in shocked of the place I’m seeing. Am I dreaming?I looked at Pietro and asked him, “Where
Whitney never listened to him, her growling grew louder, something's wrong with her.Her fur suddenly changed, I saw Pietro stepped back. I can sensed their fear; fear of the unknown.Her fangs and claws grew, her size was that like of a wolf... I never see one transform, except today, is this the effect of an immortal to a hybrid?"Retreat, Colossal" Pietro shouted.One by one they ran away, screaming. Pietro and Natasha stood still there, but I can see that they, too were scared.Without a second thought, Whitney pounced at Pietro. He fell hard on the ground, Natasha was shaking.Whitney with her sharp teeth, was about to scourge him when Natasha screamed, "Whitney, don't!"Her tears flowed down as she continuously plead.I pity them."Whitney stop it. Calm down." I told herI faint light glowed and she returned being a coll
I can vomit anytime because of the stench that comes from the outside.When I turn around, the man that has taught me about my existence stands there. He's worn out and crippling."Frederick, are you okay?" it seems mom has sensed him."I just need to take a bath" he repliedHe tapped my shoulder to greet me, he has changed.There was complete silence in the shack. The stench has disappeared, a tasty smell of dinner was tingling my nose.Whitney walked to the kitchen and happily wags her tail. My parents saw her, it seems they enjoy each other's company.I stood up and joined them, "Father, what happened to you out there?"His forehead wrinkled, as his eyebrows furrowed too, "Who are you?"It seems my appearance changed a lot, especially the different hair color I have."I'm Samuel, father. Did you forget
I woke a but earlier, I prepared a healthy breakfast so we could dig in.It was already 8 o'clock but they're still asleep.So, I decided to eat breakfast with Whitney. I gave her the meat in my plate, I had all the greens.I cleaned the shack. The clock strikes ten and the door of their room opened. Father and mother held each other, he was carrying mom like a newly wed couple.But I saw something different, mom's eyes were bleeding, but father was not worried, "Father, why does m--" before I end my queries he hushed me."She's having a vision. Her life is at stake if these visions continue to show"I tried not to tear up. he placed her down on the couch and pulled me to the dining area."Later we'll meet the hybrids. She'll be here. I heard that they have captured Isabella.""That's good news , that she's alive. The bad news is how they treat her."
I woke up at the sun rays hitting my face. I tried to move my hand to block the rays. I can't feel my body, it was numb, my mind was empty.I opened my eyes and I saw the sky. It was more blue in this time. The clouds were serene and everything seems peaceful.The soft breeze made me feel the pain of my skin. It’s still burnt. Out of the blue, a girl popped out, she was blond with cerulean eyes. She’s looking at me with curiousity on her face."Hey, mister. Why are you sleeping on the ground?"She has a very jolly voice, I felt a sting on my arm. Is she poking me?"Pokey. Mister are you impaired?" She kept poking me."Please, missy don't poke me." I told her in a very weak voice."Do you want me to help you stand up?" I think she was holding my hand.I screamed, I think my arm's gonna break.Sudde
She cautiously looked around, she let go of my arm and looked at me. She hush me and mouthed, “Be quiet.”I nodded in response. She leaned on the wall, crossed her arms as she closes her eyes.“You said you were Samuel...” she started and opened her eyes, looking straight to my eyes.“Yes. I was wondering why you seems scared, a moment ago you also pleaded that I must not hurt Talia. Did someone came before me?”Seems her face lost all its color, I immediately noticed it, “Barbara, are you okay?”She nodded.“My ancestors taught us how to distinguish mortal to immortals. My father had an immortal uncle...”“How did he know that he was a immortal?”She looked at the dining area before she replied, “Talia... Talia’s blood was the reason.”It sent shivers down my spine... The girl who saved me might be the reason of my death.Maybe that’s why father said
I lay beside Barbara and looked at her. She’s a mortal, and I am not. Father will be angry if I mingled with a mortal’s life, again. I slid my fingers on her angelic face.I remembered the notebook she gave me. I reached out to my pants which was not that far away from the bed. I held the notebook, I leaned on the headboard and comfortably sat on the bed. I opened the notebook and read it.August, 1605We never mentioned that would hurt the ties between Talia and Frederick. Talia was only five months when Frederick gave her to me. He told me that Talia was extraordinary, neither a mortal or immortal. I laughed first and didn't believe his words. I was only fifteen when Frederick handed her to me.I was an orphan, well both me and Talia now. He won’t budge and spill any more information about Talia. The only thing he spilled was her birthday. He
Like what happened back then, Pietro knew about Gaille. He told me if I want answers I should meet him at Dawson’s pawnshop. There he held me as a prison like. But something’s change when we went to the mystical forest. Whitney’s not there, Natasha was not there instead, Pietro introduced Isabella to me. Isabella is my father’s lost sister, but she has something I never expect. She looks like Barbara. I froze. Where is Natasha? I wanted to asked him that question, but I dare not. I shut my mouth and observed. Whitney was left home and Natasha should be picking her up, but she’s nowhere to be found. I saw him grin and slowly hybrids show themselves. I started to move backwards and like what happened Pietro stopped me. Things went smoothly however, some were tampered. Whitney is not here, Natasha too. I just wonder what will happen next. A few minutes passed both of them appeared. I secretly smiled and I hugged Whitney and thanked Natasha. Everything went smoothly as planned.
I explained well the details to Talia, alone.Geanne looks like Gaille’s brother they looked like each other.I remembered how she looks, she’s really scary I wonder how Patrick reacts to that.I told her to explain things to Geanne, she nodded as a response. I lost interest to Gaille. She just reminded me of a sister.I bid them goodbye and went to my car.Someone is waiting in the car, he is leaning on the car door.He waved his hand while smiling.Things get creepier.“Hi, Sam. Wheels of fate changed, you’ve brought someone that change everything.”I know who he meant. I am still wary whenever he’s around.“The cab driver you met was a different Pietro whom he never knew his fate. Your enemies are different, be cautious. You have been warned, Sam
My hands were shaking as I looked back to the house.I took my keys and placed them in my pocket, I opened the door and started walking again back to the house. I knocked at the door and it opened quickly. Gaille peeked and smiled, she swung the door open and let me in.I saw Patrick kissed Talia on her forehead. He smiled at me and said , “See you again, Sam. Lunch’s over gotta get back to work.”He tapped my shoulder and went out.This is weird.Talia greeted me with a smile. I did not smile back, I intently looked at her grabbed her arm and took her where Gaille’s far and won’t hear us.I let her arm go and started to ask her questions. I almost whisper at her, “What is the meaning of this, Talia?”She gave me a confused look, “What do you mean? You’re scaring me.”Gaille went inside her roo
"He's gone. Gone to work." I heard a chuckle from this person.My jaw almost dropped when I saw the owner of the person.“H-how?” I mouthed. I’m still in awe.She closed the gap between us, with her index finger, she closed my mouth.She smiled. “What are you talking about? Come join us for lunch.”Gaille was happy seeing me too. She grabbed my hand and assisted me to the dining hall.“Mom, what’s our food?” she asked as she lets go of me.Talia is Gaille’s mother. She doesn’t even recall me. Is she? Leana and Geanne are her in – laws.I looked at her, she’s matured. Prettier than Barbara whom I met a few moments in the car dealer’s shop.Talia is sexier, her sex appeal is strong, I cannot take my eyes off her.I shook my head and take my eyes away from her.I think of a topic so we could escape this
Life of an immortal is both easy and hard. Easy because you have unlimited resources, you were born in a wealthy family; well almost every immortal is rich.Hard because you rarely see another immortal, you follow certain sets of rules which I have disobeyed since I met someone.You can’t even marry the one you love most – especially if it is a mortal. You cannot mingle with their lives. If they were born a mortal, let them live and die as a mortal. Infusing a pure immortal’s blood, loving an immortal and creating offspring with it are a few that prohibits us to do. Doing those makes a new set of life – the hybrids.Hybrids are half human and immortal. The priveleges of hybrids are they can travel through time, decades to centuries are their time travel perks. They cannot travel like immortals, who can travel even a minute ago, it costs them their life.Hybrids are abandoned after being born. The immortal parent will only leave them a certain amoun
“S-Sam...”I panicked seeing blood flowing out of her eyes. I held her shoulders, my hands were shaking.Her hands and face were covered by blood.“I am not this miserable, until you came...” She shut her eyes.When she opened them she glared at me, “It was a mistake meeting you!”What is happening? I have sacrificed almost everything I have to be with her.“I wished I’ve never left Talia!” she screamed.I never noticed that I fell on my knees, I was surprised and shocked by her words.It was like arrows that pierced me... The last thing I heard was the door closing.I was staring on the wooden floor of the house, tears started to drip on the floor.My fists rolled to a ball. I was very angry. I never felt this emotion before.&nb
I am almost near the room when I saw the floor clearance (the gap between the door and the floor) emitting too much light.Without thinking twice I immediately opened the door and I am horrified by the scene.“BARBARA!”I jolted. A nightmare. I looked at her side, she’s not there. Where could she be? I rose up and checked first the bathroom which is located inside the master’s bedroom. No one’s there. I went to the kitchen, then to the living room but she’s not there either.Lastly, I ran downstairs, to the basement. I saw her there, talking to Leana and Geanne. I sighed in relief.I joined them, she seemed surprise when I held hwr shoulders. She looked up at me, I kissed ger forehead and greeted them there.“Leana, pl
I heard the main door open, I hurriedly run to it and see Barbara leave the house. I chased her, she ran unknowingly the consequences of the year today. For God’s sake! It was 1941, World War II happened this year.I grabbed her arm when I reached her. We were panting heavily, her eyes were both swollen. My emotions swirled, pity and anger. I hugged her, “Whatever she said to you, it was all untrue.”She felt relieved as her arms returned my hug. Now , I need to talk to Leana.I carried her back to the mansion. She rests her head on my chest and falls asleep.When we got back at the house, I went straight to my room and placed her on the bed. She was fast asleep. I carefully close the door to avoid making sone unwantwd noise.I went straight to the basement where heard her laughing. It made me more rage.“That woman believed everything I s
She was surprised at the new things that was happening to her right now. She was examining her skin which heals the wounds she received when we travelled. I stood up straight and looked at her, "Wanna go upstairs, milady?"I saw her blushed and she reached my hand. Together we went upstairs. When we got there, seems like time stood still. My mouth open in surprise."Is there a problem, Samuel?" she asked me. Her voice is so soft and tender, it was like music in my ears.I closed my mouth and turn to her, "I was here before..."Then I walk towards the mailbox that is attach onto my door. I picked up a mail, it was datedDecember 1941.I met Leana in 1940, I don't know if I will meet her or if she know me.Barbara looked at me, "Is something wrong?"I snapped and turn to her, "No, nothing. I didnct exp
