James' POV

I 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.

    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

    James' POVI walked back into the busy mall, scanning the crowds to see where Lorraine was.As I scanned around I was a man and a lady standing, talking to each. From the look of things I can tell the man was courting the lady. I looked away from them and suddenly I recalled the dress Lorraine wore. I looked back at the lady with whom the flirting man stood, and behold! It was Lorraine.She was holding her trolley and the man I don't recognize, was engrossed talking to her. She looked disinterested in the conversation. I can see it even from here.My heart sank. And I'm not sure if it was jealousy or anger. The feeling flooded through me, through my veins and I began to feel sweat drop from my head.I hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do so I walked over to their place. Before I reached them, Lorraine looked up and saw me. I can swear I saw relief written all over her face."James!" she exclaimed, smiling brightly when she saw me. But I was too furious to let her smile fool m

    Chapter 32The club was assaulted by the pulsing beat of the music, which reverberated through the air and caused the floor to vibrate beneath. The space was dimly lit, the only light coming from a few strategically placed lamps and the glow of neon signs. The music was a low tempo classical.Bodies writhed on the dance floor, moving in perfect harmony with the music. The scent of perfume filled in the air unlike any other club where it would be the excruciating smell of sweat that would take over the air.At the entrance of the club, there was an intricate sign that display the name if the club and the services offered.Inside, the walls were adorned with paintings, their bright colors standing out against the dark backdrop. The ceiling was lined with twinkling lights that gave the impression of a starry sky.Kelvin was sitting at the place he and David had planned to meet.

    Ellie's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets at the sight of Lorraine's sudden change. She could sense the power running through her niece. The aura Lorraine exuded was more than just an urge, it was pure anger.Ellie crawled backwards, too surprised to act or do anything. She knew what she was supposed to do but she couldn't, she couldn't bring herself to hurt Lorraine. She was to protect her and not hurt her."Lorraine," Ellie called. Seeing her niece like this had not only surprised her, it broke her too. It was her fault that Lorraine had to go through this. If only she had done what she had to do at the right time then the urge would not have gotten so strong. "Lorraine, fight it. You can do it. Remember your destiny, think about your mother."Lorraine could still hear Ellie's voice in her head but it was getting dimmer with every passing second. Suddenly, Lorraine screamed, her voice echoed with excruciating pain. Someone was doing it. The same thing Ellie could bring hersel

    After almost an hour of working on the passport David had given him, Kyle had found out that Mary, as I suspected, had been in and out of Lightwood several times over the last few weeks. According to him, she was in the city at this very moment."When last was she in Lightwood?" David raised a question and Kyle gave him a fiendish glare. He had just said she was still in Lightwood so what does it matter when she entered the town."What is she doing in Lightwood?" David asked another question, with surprise spreading all over his face. If anything, he has had one of the roughest stories so far amongst all of us."We'll have to find out. That's why we need to find her before she leaves the city," I answered, calculating the possibilities of finding her. It was not going to be easy, where would we begin to look? I asked myself. Just as it was impossible to look for a needle in a sea, it was same when the case is turned to her David pursed his lips tightly and smirked. " I don't think sh

    Lorraine's POV"Hurry, we need to go before he finds you," Ellie said and began to hasten her steps. She was faster than I expected her to be. Perhaps it was because she was frequent with the road."Before he finds me?" I gaped, unable to hide my surprise. "Is he going to find me?" I halted and my eyes blazed with fear.This was the point where I was supposed to be confused and scared at the same time. And Yes, I was confused and scared.Turning her head backwards, Ellie saw that I wasn't following her anymore. "You need to hurry up, Lorraine, I'm sure he's coming for you right now," she uttered and stopped. I thought I had seen it all and there was possibly nothing more that would shock me again but hearing that he would be able to find me was something I had not expected.My head began to heat up with questions. Complying with her, I continued walking, and even hastened my steps and began to run. "Why is he able to talk to me despite our distance?" I asked but she didn't reply. W

    Lorraine's POVJames had blood stains on him. I instantly knew whose blood it was, it was Kayla's.So all this while she had been the mastermind behind everything that was happening. I regretted not reading her mind when I had the chance.Unlike I expected, there was no sign of remorse in James's voice as he spoke. It was as if he had just disassembled a nuclear bomb that would have killed the whole world.After James has rushed out in between our discussion, I wanted to follow him but my mind suggested I gave him some space. It would appear like I was pegging him too much if I don't let him do some things alone.So I forced myself not to follow him and I crawled back onto the bed and waited anxiously for him to return and tell me what it was all about.I was waiting when I slept off."No!" I yelled as I jerked from the nightmare I was having. I was gasping for breath. I looked around the room, the walls were familiar. I was sweating like a rat dropped into a bucket of water.It was o

    "James, what happened?" Lorraine's voice echoed as she struggled to get out of bed and go after James who had suddenly run out while they were still discussing. But before she could get up, he was already out of the room.James went directly to his brother's room and knocked on the door, he would have barged in if he didn't know that his brother had a guest."David, I need to speak with you," James said as he knocked again when his first wasn't answered. The thud was loud. He was not supposed to interrupt them but he had no choice. What he had to say was way more important than anything they've got going on inside the room.He knocked several times again.The door opened and David stood inside, spurred by the unnecessary banging his door had to receive when the first knock alone was enough. When he saw that it was David, he did away with the anger. Looking straight into his brother's eyes, he was shocked and curious at the urgency James had used in calling him. He for sure, thought t

    "I'm sorry I came late," James said, still wrapping his right hand on the knife he had stabbed into Kayla. Late? Really? Kyle gasped.Who cared if he came late or not? What mattered to Kyle was that he came and he saved them. Kyle was still amazed that he was able to make it to the building so fast. It wasn't even up to twenty minutes that he had texted him about the whole situation immediately he found out that they had walked into a trap.James pulled out the knife and Kayla spilt more blood from her mouth and fell to the ground, covering the place he had dug the knife into her with her hands to stop the gushing of blood but it was of no use, the blood kept pouring out."Ja. Ja…James," she stammered, weakly and turned to face him. She wanted to say something but there was not much strength in her to put the words together. The little she had was going on trying to stop the blood.How did he find them?She never thought he was coming here today."Thanks, man. You saved my ass," Kyl

    "Someone's knocking on the door," Lorraine said, getting out of bed and heading out of the room. She had gotten James to stay at home and not go with the rest of the team. She had a bad feeling about it. There was something completely off about everything to her.She halted at the door and looked back and saw that he was fast asleep. His heart went up and down slowly. She wasn't sure what would have happened if he had gone with them but she knew something bad would have happened.As for David and the rest of the people, she hadn't seen much about them. She just wished they'd be safe. "Why didn't I warn them?" She berated herself, realising that she could have just told them what she felt even if they would have still gone ahead with what they wanted to do.The doorbell rang again. "Who's there?" She asked, her voice calm and loud enough for whoever it was to hear. It wasn't David because he would never hit the bell before coming in, he always had his key with him.Who would it be? S

    James's POVI could not look straight into her eyes. I just hope she finds it in her heart to forgive me.I turned and started to walk back to my room. I had nothing else to say. As I walk away, I heard Kyle offer to track the location and James chipped in with the go-ahead.Exactly as I expected, whoever was behind this shouldn't go scot-free."Who do you think did this?" I asked Lorraine when she entered the room right after me. Making sure she had securely locked the room, I leaned my back on the door."I don't know who could have done this but whoever it is, I agree with Kyle, the person is closer to her than we can think of," she answered dryly and walked to me. It was her turn again to console me."I can't think of anyone who could do this to her. And, sadly, we all fell for the card. We all thought she could betray us and it hurts me," I swallowed. The words were heavy on me but I needed to say them out.She walked to me and curled her arms around my neck and I wrapped in my ha

    "What do you want me to do?" Kyle asked as he was finally able to clear the sleep off his eyes."I want you to track this number, get the location and everything on it that you can lay your hands on," David said, stretching the phone to him and scowling back at Kayla when he caught her doing the same thing to him.Kyle glanced at him for a moment. He didn't like the way David spoke to him. It sounded more like David was giving an order rather than a request."Okay. Whose phone is it?" Kyle asked as he walked to David and accepted the phone. It was an unwritten law for every single tech personnel to never hack into a phone except he or she has been given full details about it."Why do you care?" David resisted giving an answer and it only made his questionnaire more curious. He was already getting pissed at the questions Kyle was throwing at him. It didn't matter whose phone it was, what mattered was that he could do it."Because it's my work and I'm the one who's going to do it. I can
