Author's Note: thank you for following up and reading this story. I'll be updating more Chapters this month. stay tuned. **********It was one thing to be in hell and it was another to have to spend more than half an hour with Ma.As long as James was concerned, if he was asked to make a choice, he would gladly pick hell. At least, over there no one would be nagging him.Ma looked around the room, once in a while her brow furrowed in concern for Lorraine and her face would be plastered with curiosity but the moment she opened her mouth, hell again."Poor child. I think we should call Ellie, she's the only one who can help us right now," she said finally, breaking the tense silence.James and Lorraine, who were still sitting on the couch, looked up at her in surprise. "Ellie?" James asked. Lorraine had no idea who the person was but James did. If anyone thinks his grandmother is nonchalant, then the person hasn't met his grandmother's friend, Ellie.James spoke again with a clear skept
James' POVI couldn't take her out of my mind last night. She filled my thoughts. And when I finally tried to close my eyes and sleep, I kept dreaming of her, in my arms, cuddling and telling me stories.I eagerly waited for daybreak like an anxious child. Why do I love her so much? It's killing me.I was not the one who knew much about love. I dreaded rejection. The 'ifs' that keeps popping up in my head whenever I think of telling her how I feel; what if she doesn't feel the same? What if she begins to think I'm insensitive?I walked towards her room and found the door open so I walked inside.Behold, Lorraine was there, like a wet rat facing death. She was trembling in fear, not even aware of my presence.I moved closer to her, called out her name and there was no response. Was she having a seizure? If it was a seizure I was sure she'd be on her back. I've experienced that before.But she was just there like a statue in the rain.When I was able to get her back to reality she hugge
"C'mon, we've got to go. They will soon be here." David barged into the house while three of his team members stood outside the house to keep watch."Don't shout at me, David, I'm coming. I'll be with you in a minute. Just getting things I'll be needing." Mary blurted at David as she went on folding her clothes into a pink average sized traveling box.David became more and more unsettled with every passing minute. They had to move fast and leave here else the vampires would be here in no time and that would not be good for them since James wasn't here. He wished James had come along on Mary's rescue mission but his brother was nowhere to be found. Instead of coming alone, he was accompanied by Kayla and Kyle. They were as good as him being alone.David never saw Kayla and Kyle as professional enough to take down a newbie vampire. Kyle was good with his computers but on the field, David doubted that."Mary, get just a little cloth that'll keep you warm for two days. We're not going o
Abigail stormed through the doors of the vampire club, her heart pounding in her chest. This was the second time she was coming here but unlike the first she was here now to see Samuel. The mayor's aide had told her she was going to see him here.And if she didn't find him here, then she would go to his house, his room, his… whatever it was she had woken up to find herself the other day. And if he isn't there then she would go wait for him at the inn he had taken her to the other day. It was all scripted and outlined in her mind.Even if he was avoiding her, she was definitely going to find him tonight, no matter where on earth he was.The club was dark as usual, the only light came from flickering bulbs at the DJ's tables.The air was thick with the scent of blood and drugs. People were scattered around, most of them sitting in booths, sipping from glasses filled with blood.Abigail scanned the room, looking for Samuel. She finally spotted him in the high table section upstairs, sur
It was late last night before James and Lorraine had arrived home. They both were too exhausted to even broach about what had happened between them earlier at Ma's place.James had told Lorraine to go to bed since they'll be going back to his grandmother's place tomorrow morning.They needed to wake up early the next day to make it to his grandmother's place before Ellie so that they couldn't afford to keep Ellie waiting as it might cause her to change her mind so they wouldn't keep her waiting. Her agreement to come was even a miracle James haf never thought would happen.After Lorraine had left for her room. David had come to James and inquired about where they've been; James and Lorraine.James told his brother it was a long story but he'll discuss it all with him tomorrow. David nodded in agreement and narrated what had happened at Mary's place to James."They sent Abigail to kill her?" James had asked, surprisingly."Yes. And she almost had her if I wasn't there before she arrived
Ellie had arrived shortly after James and Lorraine had arrived at Ma's place. They sat with his grandmother and reminisced on the past.Ma told stories of how James was currently the opposite of what he was when he was young. How he would run around her backyard chasing after butterflies in pants.They all laughed. James was not that embarrassed with his childhood stories instead he was grateful his grandmother was keeping him and Lorraine occupied before Ellie would arrive."You know, James would not agree to sleep until he's had me read him a story. He was a lovely and sweet child then. He never liked being lively like David does, oh! My sweet David, you didn't bring me my boy, Jammy. I miss him." Ma had no intention of stopping. She continued her story to the extent of disclosing how James had gotten the scar on his chest."That day, he was a stubborn brat. I told him. I told him not to climb that oak tree. When he saw that I was no where close, he climbed it and the next thing I
Ellie turned to Lorraine and James and spoke in a hushed voice. "For centuries, the world had waited. Generations after generations for the person who will fulfill the ancient prophecy," she sighed. "It's an honor to know that it is in my time the prophecy will finally be fulfilled."James and Lorraine looked at each other, deeply confused. They had no single idea what Ellie was talking about.Lorraine finally spoke, Wondering how, all of a sudden, life had turned into a mess. "What prophecy?"Ellie hesitated for a moment before answering. "The ancient prophecy of the witches. It foretells the coming of a powerful witch who will annihilate the vampire lord."The room became still. James was aware of this prophecy but like every other person, he had thought it was just a lie.According to history, this prophecy is about ten centuries old. Over that time, the vampires had only gotten stronger and stronger.And although this was supposed to be great news, he knew better than to be happy.
On their way home, James told Lorraine he was going to stop at a mall to get something.She was a bit excited about it because this was the first time she was going to a place that would be crowded and lively with people.As they drove to the mall, James had handed her a credit card to get anything she wanted.He didn't want her to feel bad buying whatever she wanted to buy. He had reasoned that if she would have to show him everything she brought so that he would pay, she might not be comfortable.Another reason he had come to this mall was because he was sure there were no menstrual pads in the house for Lorraine and being the person she was, she would not ask him to get them for her.Coming here was an opportunity to get her some of those. Whether or not she picks them, he was going to pick them for her.He excused himself for a few minutes to use the bathroom, well that was what he had told her."Hello pretty lady," a young man dressed in a black expensive suit approached Lorraine
