STORM

“Storm! Table 4 needs attending. Stop zoning out for god's sake. We don’t have time for this.” Jess literally shouted, her face clouding in annoyance, and then she eyed me badly for taking time to collect orders.

I wanted to cuss at her for letting me work this morning when the doctor had tasked me with at least four days of bed rest. In her words, she had said; ‘since you have the strength to club and dance, then you should be more than healthy to work at the restaurant.’ Those were her words this morning when she had knocked consistently and noisily on my door.

I had asked her about Miranda, who was supposed to help since she hadn’t gone back to college. The woman had said that her daughter needed some rest after being out all night. Her daughter needed rest and I didn’t? I mused and scoffed, collecting the notepad from the kitchen counter, heading to table five. All the while my thoughts ran all over the place, uninhibited.

    STORMJustin came to the restaurant around thirty minutes past two in the afternoon, looking quite tired even though he had managed to clean up alright. He waved at me when he saw that I had already seen him before trudging to the seventh table and collapsing on one of the chairs like he was carrying the weight of the world on his head. Quickly, I left my working post since the other servers were around and the customers had drastically reduced. I stalked toward him, holding a cupcake in my hand. Justin loved cupcakes to a fault.“Here, friend.” I said, dropping the cupcake right in front of him before sitting down on one of the light orange chairs. “Storm, you are always a life saver.” He muttered, before taking a bite of the cupcake, holding his head while he did so, as if he was in pain. “Are you okay?” I asked him, tapping him slightly on the arm. “Yes, just a wicked headache that has chosen to stay with me for life.” He answered, whining in satisfaction when he took another

    STORMJustin’s face took a detour down the sad side when he heard my last statement. What? Had I been wrong in making that statement? I thought, taking my lips in. But I never want to burden anyone with my troubles. What was so bad about that? I wondered, deciding to keep quiet and wait for him to speak after he collected his thoughts, whatever it was that he was ruminating on. “Whenever it seems we are making a headway in our friendship, you just come up with things like this. What exactly is your problem, Storm?” he asked me, taking off his hands from the table and folding them across his chest, his face anything but happy. Nice on, Storm. You pissed off someone that could help you escape the clutches of your stepmother. “What do you mean Justin? You know this is the way I am, the way I am wired…” I was still explaining but Mr man thought it wise to cut me off. “Stop talking. Just stop. The way you are wired? Storm, you don’t even see it but living with your step family has rea

    STORM Lucy darted glances between I and Justin after Justin ‘s statement. Her gaze lingering on me the more. She was obviously waiting for any one of us to tell that it was all a joke. Well, it was not. “Are you both serious? Storm has really woken up to her senses?” Lucy asked, causing me to groan. Like seriously, girl? Must you throw me under the bus too? I thought, gawking when she high fived Justin. When did the two begin to shake hands?The duo were usually on opposite sides, for reasons I’ve never been able to decipher. I had met Lucy before Justin, and so when I had incorporated Justin into the friendship circle, she had actually taken it the wrong way, a bit jealous that her position would be taken no matter how much I had tried to convince her that it wasn’t so. It had taken a long while before she had even allowed him to eat on our table in high school. Justin was good and patient to have endured all her shortcomings. Seeing their interactions now was a huge relief even t

    STORM“Who do we have here?” Justin said, looking behind me again, causing me and Lucy to turn around. Kaden, Lent, with Casper, just walked into the restaurant, and behind them was Mr Tim who had caused me the misfortune of meeting Kaden in the first place. I haven’t seen the older man since he had eaten in our restaurant and disappeared. What were the trio doing here? They never ate here, not that I kept records or knew where they ate. But I haven’t seen them around before.They strolled past us, without looking aside to acknowledge our presence, except Lent of course, who smiled at me before walking past. Kaden just acted like he didn’t know of my existence. “What just happened? Did he just behave like he didn’t see us? Was it because you sent him away from your room when he had come to see you two days ago?” Lucy asked, her eyes still on Kaden who sat on a nearby table with Lent and Casper, while Mr Tim went to place their orders at the counter. Shouldn’t they wait for a waite

    STORMI almost took up Justin’s offer. For a minute after he had asked the question, I had nearly said yes. It was enticing, you know, to know about the man that had somehow, in a short time frame held the reins of my heart. “Don’t bother about it. Nothing is truly hidden under the sun. If he is the one, that would be revealed soon.” I muttered, while internally I was shouting and clamouring that Justin would ignore my answer and go ahead to dig up information on Kaden. This was another fact that you should know about Justin. He was very good with computers. As I had pointed out before, he is so good at many things that he could decide whatever he wanted. He was favored by nature that way to the detriment of others who would unfortunately be on his bad side. I thought. But of course, I was happy that he was so talented, for on more than many occasions he had come through for I and Lucy with his so many talents. “You sure?” Lucy asked, winking at me, causing me to chuckle and look aw

    KADENI was rendered motionless when the unknown gun-man pointed the gun right at my forehead. Beside me Avery’s stance was switching between anger and fear, the same emotions that were flashing across the face of my friends. We couldn’t make a move to disarm him since we were all on the same table; he had us at gunpoint. A wrong move, and my brain would be bursted in shreds. I thought, wondering why I had chosen to eat at this public restaurant today instead of at my personal restaurant. Well, that was because of Storm, no doubt. While we had taken a break from work to get lunch, I had remembered that her stepmother had a restaurant, the avenue through which I had been able to meet her in the first place. Tim, my personal driver, had led us here.My breathing slowed as my mind got swamped with thoughts on how to get out of this situation. I needed a distraction-the man needed to be distracted, but it couldn't be from us, rather it should come from outsiders, the other diners. My mi

    STORM I got home around some minutes past five in the evening, to find Miranda being chatty with Doctor Jack in our sitting room. Hope she wasn’t trying to seduce the doctor? He might be middle aged but he was handsome and sturdy in a cute way. He wasn’t married either. I greeted him curtly, deciding not to join in their conversations, but Jack was having none of it. “Storm, how are you feeling now?” he asked me just before I got to the staircase. “I am fine.'' I replied, looking at his smiley face with a smile of my own before turning around and walking upstairs. But when I got to the door, I realized with a jerking speed that Jack’s voice was similar, too similar to the voice of the man that had been in the bedroom with Jess last night. Could Jack be the…”? No, no, that was impossible! But the more I thought about it, the more I believed it and the more dreadful I became. If he really was the one, then he probably had a hand in my father’s death since he was the family doctor. Co

    THIRD PERSON POVAt a place, unknown to humans, supernaturals and animals...A middle aged beautiful woman, with no recollection of who she was and how she had gotten to this beautiful mansion, watched the children playing in the large play yard directly across from her little Victorian home. She liked sitting outside on the wide, wrap-around porch where the wind could touch her face. Sometimes, that small touch was the only relief she got from the relentless pain winding through her body every minute of the night and day, pain she had no idea how it had come about. It just possessed her, sometimes heavier at certain intervals, so much that she would want to die.Rain had given the air a clean, fresh scent. The world looked shiny and new, every leaf on the trees a vivid green or silver. Small birds sang to one another, hopping from tree branches to gnarled limbs. They were bright red spots of color, adding to the beauty of the compound. The property was owned by a man the children c

    Storm could feel her heart pounding hard, but it was more out of excitement than fear. She should be afraid, the bird was a true raptor, but it was magnificent. It had black eyes! Round, shiny, very intelligent black eyes. She stared at it for two full minutes. That wasn't normal, she was certain. Very slowly, so she wouldn't startle the creature, she backed across the room to the desk where she kept her phone. Still looking at the bird, she googled the images of the bird, biting her lips intermittently as she waited.Strangely, the bird was observing her just as intently, an intelligence in its gaze as it watched the phone beep occasionally. When the page opened, Storm glanced at the image of the harpy eagle. The eyes were round and shining with intelligence, but they were not black. The eyes in the picture were a bright amber with a black pupil. She let out her breath slowly. Something was wrong with her bird.‘You aren't blind, though, are you?’ She sent the words, not even kno

  • The Mafia Lycan's Obsession    A Big Bird

    After Storm was done eating, she thanked Kaden, and let him have the plates when he stretched his hands to collect them. To hold herself from jumping on him, and demanding that he put her out of her sexual misery, she stood up from the bed and sauntered to the window to look at the forest, and clear her immoral thoughts. He had joined her to eat, and for each time his mouth had closed over a morsel of food, she had jerked subtly, as if the mouth was closing over her twin orbs. In a large oak tree, plenty feet away from her, a bird flapped its mighty wings, drawing her attention. A smile swept past her lips when she became aware that she could sight its distinctive features. She was not the same Storm of a month ago. She was different now, considering the amount of trainings she had submitted too.The bird had a round facial disk with a very pronounced ruff. It wasn't an owl but it was large. Very large. The unusual bird could easily weigh at least twenty pounds. She stared at it

    Storm walked into Kaden's treehouse and was immediately struck by how it seemed larger than usual. The wooden walls, which should be plain and simple, were adorned with colorful murals and hand-painted designs. One wall even showcased a sprawling mural of a sunset over a peaceful lake, with vivid oranges and pinks blending into each other. And another wall had a charming depiction of a forest, complete with playful animals like squirrels and birds, all brought to life with bright, cheerful colors.The room was filled with natural light that filtered through the large windows, which had been decorated with flowing curtains in soft, earthy tones. The curtains swayed gently in the breeze, adding a sense of movement to the scene. The wooden floor was covered with cozy rugs that added warmth and comfort to the space.A large, comfy bean bag was positioned in one corner, surrounded by soft pillows. Next to it was a small bookshelf brimming with colorful books, their spines lined up neatly

    Storm’s mind kept conjuring up provocative images, as she and Kaden walked hand in hand around the clan. The kiss they had shared in her room still tingled on her lips, still kept heat in her blood, still made her hunger for more. She inhaled sharply when Kaden turned and stared at her, his eyes brimming with the emotions that she was sure was playing out in her own mind. For a second, she feared that he might have peeked into her dirty mind, but then she remembered that they were not bonded yet, not in that sense. It brought her swift relief which came with a coating of abashed-ness seen in the coloring of her cheeks and necks, something that wasn’t lost on Kaden who was battling to hold on to his honor. He cussed at himself for closing her lips with his earlier, knowing what could happen from there. But she had been speaking, and her luscious mouth had been like water in a desert land; he had been parched so much that he couldn’t have been able to help himself. And now, the stirr

  • The Mafia Lycan's Obsession    Old Books II

    All through the week, Storm only concentrated on the books Kaden had given her, or rather on the first book she had collected from the pile. Jutul had done the same, concentrating on the second book he had picked. Both had only taken breaks when they wanted to eat or when they wanted to train with Casper for an hour. To assuage Kaden’s caveman jealousy, all the reading had been in the dining downstairs, and yet they weren’t close enough to whatever the books were on about. They weren’t close to the end either, and the transcribers were doing a poor job, despite Jiraq’s input sometimes. It was then that Storm had learnt that Jiraq wasn’t done with the book either. ‘What are you doing with one of the hardest books in the pile?” had been his first question when she had solicited for his help. He had gone ahead to pick up a smaller book, written in English, for her and Jutul to start with, but she had declined—she had grown attached to the old book. And she had vowed to bring it to a fi

  • The Mafia Lycan's Obsession    Old Books

    Storm groaned tiredly; under the full weight of the knowledge she had been absorbing for the past four hours. Kaden had been true to his word, and with the help of Jiraq, had bundled more than thirty books which smelt of oldness into her room this morning, just before she dressed for school. “For those written in old language, Jiraq was kind enough to let you have his transcriber, so that you can better understand it. You can check them out after classes today.” Kaden had said, when he had stepped into her room with a fellow whom she knew went by the name, Micheal, Liam’s younger brother. She had found out right after Liam’s recuperation weeks ago, about the wicked action on the young fellow who didn’t look a year older than her. The first book on the pile had gotten her attention after the duo had left the room, and picking it up, she had decided to peek at a page, then return to her preparation for school. But a page had turned to two pages, and then five pages, until school was

    Storm was chatting with Lucy and Justin, in their phone group , around a time when she should be sleeping, when she heard her name being droned in her ears. “S-t-o-r-m” She furrowed her eyebrows, and looked around the room she shared with Kaden sometimes. There was no one. The voice sounded familiar, and until she felt the eeriness in the room, she didn’t know who it was. The vampire.She got up from the empty bed, and sauntered toward the door, needing to get to Kaden as soon as possible, but the door wouldn’t budge. She stamped her foot on the floor out of frustration, as fear suddenly took root in her mind and body. Where was he when she needed him? Why hadn’t he spent the night with her? She wondered, never minding that she had been one to ask they sleep on separate beds tonight, after he had returned from his meeting with his people, after she had returned from seeing her friends off with Lent. The voice called for her name again, and she shuddered before she could help it, h

  • The Mafia Lycan's Obsession    Love&Lies

    There was a stark naked silence in the room after Jutul’s declaration. So stark was it, that Storm felt her ears ringing with deep silence, deep silence and an unclothed unbelief. They were lying? If she didn’t know of Jutul’s gifts, she would have berated him for speaking against her friends. But she knew. She knew he was telling the truth—there wasn’t a need to lie. And she still was finding it hard to believe. Lucy and Justin had planned a lie, and had come to convince them of it? All for what? To gain information on what was going on in the clan? Was their school even on break? Then, the silence was broken by Kaden’s voice which had descended to a certain chillness that informed Storm that her mate was angry, very angry, at being made a fool of. “Lent, place a call to the school’s authorities, and find out if the school is really on break…” Lucy’s dark laughter interrupted his statement, and brought Storm’s attention to her. “So y’all would rather believe Storm’s newest friend

    Of course they wouldn’t. Storm thought, looking at Lucy squarely for the first time since she had entered the room. Her friend was still bubbling in age-old anger, and was still carrying a grudge against her.And since, Storm knew she couldn’t do much about it—because what Lucy was demanding was unattainable—she let the latter think that she wasn’t bothered by it. It would help with them leaving earlier. Having seen what exactly was at play here, what evil forces were at play here, she wasn’t about to risk the lives of her friends. She wasn’t about to have their blood on her head, because she wanted them to be included in every facet of her life. It was better they thought she was against them; it was better they believed that she didn’t value their friendship.“So, why are you here, Lucy?” She schooled her face to a cold aloofness, unfazed when Justin let out a cuss word, whilst darting a glance between Lucy and her. There was a minute silence, where Lucy scanned Storm’s features;
