"Lorraine," James called, walked into the room but he stopped immediately his eyes fell on her sleeping on the bed.

She was wrapped in a blanket. James could not tell why he felt happy that she had decided to sleep.

He grinned, darting his mind away from the thoughts clouding together.

"How long have you been staring at me," Lorraine's voice brought him back to the present.

His eyes dropped in embarrassment. "I... I just entered."

"Well, I woke up about three minutes ago," Lorraine countered, making him more embarrassment.

She scrambled out of bed, and stood up.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to…"

"I was joking," she giggled. "You can die standing if you like."

He smiled. "No nightmares, right?"

He liked the sound of her voice, the way her head tilted first one way then another as she talked. It made her dark hair move against her neck and bare shoulders.

"Woke up as I slept," she replied, yawning.

"What would you like to know, Lorraine?"

She sighed. "What's happening, James?"

    As James opened his mouth to speak, a smile curled out of his lips instead. He stood up from the bed and began to walk out of the room.Lorraine did not plan for any of this to happen. It has drawn on her that it wasn't James's fault that she got herself into this mess.It was all her fault, everything; all her fault. She sighed deeply.Lorraine's body suddenly fell into a pool of regret. At that moment, she realized that what she said to James was a mistake - a mistake that she hadn't intended to make.James walked his way out of the room. He wished he could just tell Lorraine lots of things she wanted to know. He didn't because he knew he would not be able to control himself. There were lots of things he should not tell her. However, it would be hard to explain all these without Sasha coming in.Lorraine ran and stood in his way. It was time to pull the girly button. She stretched her hands out, "I'm sorry, James." She was in tears by now, her voice was shaking.Although James had

    James and Lorraine walked into a basement that was well decorated, with different kinds of sitting chairs. In the middle of the room, there was a not too big center table. As she and James entered, she saw five people sitting in a way that made it obvious they were in a formal meeting. "I'm sorry I'm late." James apologized as he was headed towards an empty chair to sit. He then motioned to Lorraine to also have a sit. "That's what you've been doing lately, Jimmy." A man with a laptop on his lap replied James. His tone showed he was not angry; rather, he spoke in a friendly and respectful way."What's been keeping you occupied, James?" Kayla asked glaring at Lorraine who was still standing."I've been trying to sort some things out lately and it almost skipped my mind that we were meeting today. Have a sit, Lorraine.""What is she doing here James?" David asked in a tone that carried total disapproval of the situation. James ignored the question and went ahead to introduce Lorraine t

    The sun had set over the city and cast a warm golden glow over the square where a large crowd had gathered. The air was filled with murmurs as people waited for the mayor to appear. It was only in times of urgency that a gathering like this would be called. Newscasters, journalists, and TV presenters had arranged their equipment and were also waiting for the mayor.A podium had been set up at the center of the square where microphones were placed by different TV presenters, and a large banner reading "The Amazing City Of Lightwood '' hung behind the podium. Suddenly, a hush fell over the crowd as the mayor appeared, and walked elegantly to the podium, accompanied by his secretary and a young lady dressed in a formal black top tucked into a skirt. The mayor's aid – dressed in his usual unstructured blazer – followed them. With a serious expression on his face, the Mayor approached the podium and adjusted the main microphone, coughed into it to see if it was functional. He knew better

    James sat in the cozy cushion by the fireplace, holding a mug of coffee and a newspaper. He flipped through the pages, scanning the headlines and skimming the articles. It was his routine to check the night publication because it contained every news that happened that day. He had always seen that as the reason why it was twice the pages of a usual newspaper. He began to flip the newspaper all over again, when he opened to the second page and he is hooked by the headline; APPOINTMENT OF A NEW SECRETARY IN LIGHTWOOD. He hadn't seen this as he was flipping through the first time, that was the thing with flipping, sometimes you miss an important information. He turned to the next page and he meets another headline related to the the one in the second page. "Lazy journalist" he mused, "why repeat a news twice in a single paper?" Then he realized it must have been an important news.It read, "THE MAYOR APPOINTS A NEW SECRETARY."He wondered what would have led to the appointment of a ne

    Abigail strode into the club in a beautiful dress. She did not wear her double skin. There was no need for it here. The reasons were: it was already night and well, why would she wear a double skin when they owned the night? The mayor had given her all the things she'd need. He had even asked his aide to teach her some martial arts techniques, and she learnt fastInside the club, people danced and rocked to the music. This was her first time here. She was invited to the weekly vampire feast. She had never known that a place like this existed – she wouldn't believe it even if she was told about this place – but here she was, as an invited guest.Her urge for blood for the past few days has been insane. She almost drained a donor to death yesterday. It felt great to pierce her fangs into a human and drink directly from the veins rather than drink from a glass or a cup. At first, the mayor had told her it was a good thing, but now, her urge has gotten stronger.The scent of blood was

    The sun was rising over the dense forest as James, Lorraine and Kayla came down from their car, dressed in workout clothes, and made their way through the narrow paths. The sound of birds chirping and leaves rustling under their feet filled the air as they trekked deeper into the woods.As they arrived at a clearing, James began to set up the training equipment while Lorraine offered to help, while Kayla stood, uninterested in whatever they were doing. Kayla had followed them because she had noticed how Lorraine looked at James in the meeting the day she was introduced. There was no way she'd let Lorraine create a place for herself in James' mind before her. After Sasha's death, she had promised herself that James would be hers or nobody else's. So Lorraine was a hotspot she didn't want James' WiFi to connect with. This, she was going to make sure of. She remembered when David had told her to get closer to his brother and make him forget Sasha, she had thought it would be easy, that

    Abigail slowly opened her eyes and immediately jumped out of the bed as she woke up to find herself in a strange room. Strange room again, she thought. The room was unfamiliar, as she tried to remember how she had ended up there. Looking around, she noticed that the room was sparsely furnished, with only a few pieces of furniture and no personal items. She tried to recall how she had gotten there, but her head was hazy. Then, a flash of memory hit her, and she gasped. She remembers being at the club, the fight with the vampire guy and the hunting she had gone through.Last night, she and the man that had taken her to hunt walked back to town when they had had their fun. He had brought to his home and she had ended up in his bed, naked. They had hit it off last night. She remembered kissing him when everything else was happy moments afterwards.She saw her clothes laying on the floor, and she began to gather them. At least she needed to know what the man's name was but he was nowhere

    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
