"Yes, apologize. I'm not the reason you're so tall, you don't even see the people below you, your narcissistic Highness!" I blurted angrily, with a hint of sarcasm. My confidence soon waned drastically and the regret bounced in. My first day in Brownston and here I was, already making trouble. "Mundanes and being problematic," he muttered, turning to leave immediately. That did it. I could have sworn a puff of smoke its way out of my ears accompanied by the overwhelming surge of anger that rose from the depth of my stomach. I hurled at him my saddle bag with all the energy my slim hands could gather and it landed right across his pale face. ** Alexis—a Trueblood who had lived forever in a void of endless time bumps into Dawn, a college student who sought adventure. Was his tedious life about to get more intriguing? What were the hardships that came with the existence of a mundane in his life?

Till I met you What a mundane!
ALEXIS That pounding thing your heart does whenever you try to lie your way out of something, I heard it from Dawn before she left, exactly when I asked if she knew her way back. Why'd she have to lie though? It would take nothing to show her the right direction or even take her. I still didn't know why I'm concerned about the business of this mundane. I followed her out the door some minutes after she left because the uneasiness I felt in my chest made me so uncomfortable, I guess I wanted to be sure she was lying and she was. After walking the whole avenue, I finally saw her prancing the streets, she looked clearly confused. I laughed as she threw a tantrum after every dead end she hits, this mundane was funny. I should make this easier and just walk up to her right? I thought about how embarrassing it would be for her to see me again after she lied, but that didn't matter, I should save us the stress. I was crossing the street to meet her when I saw her approachin

DAWN Remember that part of me that doubted I was going to get any sleep? That part was mistaken, extremely wrong. I only jerked awake due to repeated thuds that came from the door. It was Alexis knocking, one glimpse at the wall clock and it was ten am already! Ten am and I was still a potato mess on a stranger's bed. Classic, Dawn. You really hit it this time. I patted down what I could from the tangled mess on my head and wiped my face with my palms in case I drooled, though it didn't do much to hide how hideout I looked.Here goes nothing, I opened the door to a bewildered Alexis. I think it's my face, it probably scared the shit out of him."Good morning," I said, and a nervous laugh followed. "Good morning, I was getting worried when you didn't open up." Yeah, probably because I slept like a dead body. "Yeah, I was taking time to uh... Hey, nice shirt!" Someone, please save me. I felt the texture of the striped T-shirt he had on."Thank you," he took a few step

DAWN Yup, it's me again and my decision-making skills I should never have trusted. I didn't even know what to trust right now, it got shattered everywhere. Earlier today, Selene asked for my key, saying she misplaced hers with the promise of being at home by eight pm. That was the longest thing I've heard her say since our stay together since she was barely around. My roommate was like the wind, a fleeting mood that lingered with a promise of inconsistency. But I believed her, foolishly handing it to her, only to come back to a locked door after taking a stroll. Was this her idea of fun? Did she go out knowing I'd be stranded? I brushed off my thoughts, and the situation I found myself in was far more pressing. I was walking on a dark, cold street with a guy I barely knew. Well, he told me his name, that should count for something, right? Not only was I walking the street with him, but I also had his jacket around my waist and I was headed to his house, to sleep over! The r

ALEXIS It's been a week since the incident, and I've spent more time searching for signs of abnormalities than watching over Selene herself. If my suspicion was right, then lots of terrible things were bound to happen, it could affect more than the mundanes, even the council knew this. Father hadn't gotten a response from Lucien after the last time they communicated. Lucien, being the man that he was, could only be reached when he wanted to be. He was one of the ancient ones; a Trueblood who was a prominent member of the council that managed the affairs between us and the mundanes. The main reason for the creation of the council was to manage our relationship with the mundanes; hiding us in plain sight as our legacy cannot be unearthed. The council was the rogues haven't made it their responsibility to annihilate the mundane species; if they did, how then would we survive? I brushed off my conflicted thoughts after deciding to see Selene; I had drifted off course, and I need

ALEXIS The whole school was swallowed by viceferousity, clamouring students hung around in numbers talking about an incident I had no idea of. This noise was louder than usual, something instigated this and I still didn't know as I waddled through the crowd.What could be happening? It wasn't till after some moment passed I overheard a couple of them talking about the lifeless body of a mundane girl that was found by another student this morning. My first instinct was to check what it was, which I did. The scene was barricaded by police officers and their endless efforts to stop the eager students from trespassing and making videos. It was still ridiculous how technology made them, their first instinct always was to make a recording of whatever they saw; they remained the dumbest species except when they intended to harm another. At a distance lay the body of a girl, the victim of the unfortunate incident, drained of every iota of life. The familiarity of the scene rose lo

UNKNOWNMy eyes pried open to an image I could quite fathom, the aching thuds that lumbered through my head made my eyes spin. Where was I? Most importantly, how long was I out? The clanging sound I heard next drew my attention to a young man that stood backed up against the corner of the wall with trembly hands and eyes widened with horror. It was an impeccable fact that he was one of us but his scent still had faint whiffs of mundanity woven in them — he was a new bred.I had been out long enough for a wave of new vampires to be bred and that took two hundred years. I was pinned for two hundred years, the voices in my head rose in a violent uproar, every one of them sharing their unappreciated opinion. I didn't need that now.With one move, I was up on my feet, they, as frail as they felt, collapsed at the first trial but I wasn't one to give up, especially not now that fate has smiled upon me. My surroundings were clearer now; I was at the bastille where I had been pinned and

DAWN After all my lectures has ended for the day, I didn't go straight to the hostel as I had always done. It won't hurt to explore the school's surroundings, right? I wandered around, getting lost in a few unknown places and asking random passersby for the right way back. It was fun, thrilling even. I walked a path a few steps away from the college's main building, it was a small patch of lush greenery. Small didn't quite do justice to describing it but its size difference from the school's building made it reasonable at that moment. Huge trees and beautiful flowers spread across the land making it more enticing than ever. The irresistible scent that the flowers carried was enough reason to appreciate existence, I leaned forward, feeling the wind on my face, it felt incredible. It was a quiet and serene environment, good enough to be my new hideout. A place where I could come to read and spend quality time alone, I loved it already. I kept walking amidst the grasses that fell

ALEXIS' POV This day was bad. No, it was the absolute worst. In a stretch of twelve hours, I've had reasons to regret my decision a thousand times. Not that it was my decision though, but it would be a lie if I said a part of me didn't want this — which I now regretted. Waltzing admist them was one thing — pretending to be regular and battling to urge to dip my fangs into their tender necks — was another fairly bearable thing, but getting insulted and disresprected by a diminutive mundane girl was an happening that never crossed my mind. Her audacity was alarming despite having bumped into me, she was one of the fearless ones I've seen in a while — I was still stunned. Despite the height and size disparity, she stood her ground, a rather pointless one I'd say. Never have I had someone swing a bag or anything else at me but it happened today. Not only did she do that, she somehow twirled to my position knocking both of us down — the most discomfiting thing that happen

DAWN'S POV Three weeks passed by so fast and there I was, parading the environs of Brownston struggling to find my faculty. I've been at the school hostel for two days, after I arrived with my mom and Henry on the weekend and they flew back to Fulton after their stay at a hotel close to Brownston. I wanted them to stay longer if they could, to live close by even but that was impossible, right? It ruins the whole "seeking adventure" idea. I braced myself as my mind kept drifting to the part that missed them, I needed to do this myself. It was me alone now and I got this. Did I though? I can't even find my lecture hall. I made attempts to ask some of the students that hung around — it earned me glares, and monotonous responses that summed up to nothing. Were they always like this? I sighed. The sun was scorching, it didn't cease to emit powerful waves of heat like a fiery ball in the sky. Well, that was exactly what it was. I should have known better than to listen

Unanticipated Departure.
ALEXIS' POV The thud of the blood bag I dropped echoed in my room, then through the hallway disrupting my thoughts, I wiped my lips clean with my cuff and fell backwards to my bed—my eyes up, rummaging the crystal chandelier that hung above me, I hadn't noticed how golden brown it was till now — plastered with gemstones all shaped in U-drop prisms that fell to its sides, dangling every now and then as something moved, Every part of this fortress was connected in the most incomprehensible ways. An ancient, yet exquisite item. Only God knows how long it's been in existence, or maybe he doesn't too. The strings of crystals that dropped from its edges began to dance in a pulsating sequence, it could only mean one thing, someone was coming. Judging from the heartbeat, one normal, one not so-, It wasn't one person. My door creaked before it was swung by him, his monk strap clacking the wooden floor. Soon after, someone else followed, the person with the abnormal heart rate. I reali...
