“Not a great time for prom. My back still hurts from last night. Luckily, I just stayed at a spot. If not, I would have missed this.” Gabriel said as he wore his shoes.“That looks really good on you, man.” Gabriel said, referring to Gordon’s suit. It was chocolate brown, this colour suits him very well because of the way it projected his fair skin and complimented his eye color.“Thanks, man. But I must say, you look gorgeous.” Gordon complimented Gabriel in return. He wore a light blue suit, this color made him look mature and blended with his hair color. They bought the same kind of shoes, the Magnanni brand for themselves, Gabriel had bigger feet than Gordon.“Who’s your date?” Gordon asked Gabriel.“Dunno… Maybe any damsel in distress?” Gabriel said before Amanda cut in.“Tell me you’ve seen someone prettier and I’ll never show my face again.” Amanda said as she strode into Gordon’s room where they both were.Amanda was incredibly stunning in her yellow long, fitted gown. Her hai
“You have to get your act together, else, you’d be figured out.” Gabriel said, trying to calm Gordon down.“How am I supposed to calm down?” Gordon said, freaking out.“Maybe you should go and confess. That’d make you feel better right?” Gabriel said sarcastically.“It’s not a joke, Gab. I actually killed someone.” Gordon said.“It’s not so bad.” A voice said. Gordon’s heart sank, he has been caught!“Hey, Minx,” Gabriel said.“I’m sorry for prying but I need to talk to you. It’s urgent.” Minx said.“I’ll be back, Gordon. Don’t do anything stupid.” Gabriel said.He left with Minx to hear her out.“What I’m about to say…. Is uhhh gonna be really difficult to accept but I don’t wanna bother you with this, I just want you to know.” Minx said and paused for a while. She took a deep breath.“Minx, it’s okay. You can tell me.” Gabriel assured her.“You’re not gonna like this,” Minx said.“Just tell me, you wanted to tell me right? Why did you stop?” Gabriel asked, he was getting impatient.
Minx hissed loudly, she stormed into her room, packed her bags, collected her valuables, and left the house. She was too angry to look around for the last time in case she never comes back.She didn’t know where she was going, she just kept going. She wanted to be as far away as possible from her home. She didn’t want to see her parents ever again; she was sure they didn’t want to see her either.Minx remembered her aunt, Gina. She gave up on their ways, she wanted no part in their practices, she even relocated so that she’d be as far away from them as possible.Minx’s mother always used her aunt Gina to cite a bad example to her meanwhile, Minx wanted to be exactly like her aunt.Minx decided to call her, maybe she’d understand. No matter now angry Minx was at the moment, she knew she couldn’t survive on her own.While she was contemplating, she heard her phone ring, it was her aunt, Gina.“Minx, where are you now? Your mom told me what happened.” Gina said. Mrs. Jackson still cared
They had finally gotten to the spot where Gabriel was. He was seated on the ground, crying, hitting his chest so hard that Gordon had to force him to stop.Amanda was moved to tears on seeing Gabriel like that, she had never seen him express so much emotion, to the extent that he cried, he must love Minx deeply to react that way, Amanda thought.Gordon called an Uber and they went home. This spoilt prom night for the three of them, they went straight to Gordon’s room, and his parents didn’t ask questions as usual. Amanda and Gordon didn’t want to bug him with questions, they’d talk in the morning. For now, he needed his best friends by his side.“Hi, aunt Daisy, I just wanted to tell you that Gabriel, I, and Gordon would be spending the night in Uncle Oliver’s quarters,” Amanda said. Gordon had sent her to make an excuse for Gabriel, he didn’t want his mother to find out about what happened. By tomorrow, Gordon believed he would be better.“Okay, then. Y’all have fun.” Daisy said. Th
On the day that Darin was resurrected…“Medic! Medic! Your attention is needed.” Elijah shouted. Darin had collapsed, he was weak and hungry, terribly hungry. Elijah thought he understood how to care for him, but he was wrong.When Darin was taken to the healthcare unit inside the building, something remarkable happened. He shut his eyes open and laid still, one of the medics tried to examine him but before he could finish, Darin grabbed him, spotted his neck and buried his fangs into it. The medic guy was screaming, his colleagues went as far away as possible, and the fire alarm was rung to evacuate everyone from the building in case it gets out of hand.Thud!Darin dropped the body on the ground, he started to feel alive again, his demon was back. This time, he allowed it to take control over him. He got off the stretcher where he was laid, stretched his body. “Creak, Creak” his bones sounded like they were breaking but they weren’t. Darin walked out of the health care unit fearle
“Darin is deteriorating, I don’t think there’s anything we can do for him. At this point, he’s a threat to our survival. He’s evolving, he’s becoming faster and stronger, we have moved him to three different holding rooms these past few weeks. I believe he wouldn’t be able to break out of this one. Or should we carry on with the termination? It’s most advisable.” Peter said.“Have you done what I asked you to do?” Elijah said in a soft tone.“Uhh.. about that sir, it’s not possible because the last time we tried, he infected one of us.” Peter said, bowing his head. He didn’t want to meet Elijah’s eyes.“I don’t care how you do it. I need to know his end before the month runs out.” Elijah said.He was a very demanding boss, he doesn’t care how the job is done, all he cares is the end product. Well, he pays his staffs enough to make demands like that.“I’ll see to it, sir.” Peter said.“Lots of people are praying for your position.” Elijah threatened lightly and walked away.**“He
“Today is your birthday and we sing to let you know…That you will be queen for the day…Whatever you say goes!”Gordon and Gabriel sang for Amanda. They pulled up the louvers and woke her up with a birthday song they usually sang for themselves. Yes, Amanda would be the queen for the day, is there any day she isn’t?Gabriel played the guitar and left most of the singing to Gordon, he had a beautiful voice. Gordon wasn’t able to tell Gabriel that he’s with Amanda when they went to get the gifts for Amanda the other day, he planned on telling him right now.Amanda was so excited, she was served breakfast in bed and was showered with all sorts of gifts. She’s very lovable and also very kind to everyone, she received lots of gifts from most members of the pack, Gordon, Gabriel, Christine, Oliver, Daisy, and Seth. It was a very beautiful day.Gabriel and Gordon had planned dinner at a fancy restaurant for the three of them.“There’s something I want to tell you… We want to tell you.”
How’re you, baby? I heard you shout last night. Did anything happen? I mean I would have come but your dad advised that I give you a little space.” Daisy said, she was leaning against the wall. She walked into Gabriel’s room to wake him to find him already woken which is totally weird, Gabriel loves his sleep and never wakes up early.“I’m fine, mom. I just talk in my sleep these days… I can’t even remember.” Gabriel said and feigned a smile.“It’s alright, wash up and come have breakfast.” Daisy said and left his room.Gabriel laid on his bed for a while before picking up his phone, he wanted to dial Minx’s number. He sighed deeply and dropped the idea and the phone too.He got off the bed and went to wash up as his mother said. All the while he was bathing, he felt the unwavering impulse to reach out to Minx, that was all he thought of. When he finished from the bathroom and put in his clothes, he sat on his bed again.He took a deep breath and muttered something to himself “if th
