Vampire on Fire Chapter 14 | Chase
It’s Sunday, the sun is shining at its best. In history, vampires were known to fear the sun for it burns their skin and slowly melts their flesh but that was just a stupid belief written by someone who saw how vampires turned into ashes when exposed to radioactive chemicals. Or perhaps, someone wrote about this when burning people alive was one of the cruelest punishments centuries ago.But no matter where these different and superficial vampire stories came from, the vampires coexisting with the citizens of Pinephil don’t mind the humans’ tell-tales. It’s best to keep the people ignorant and fool the humans into believing that vampires do burn when exposed to sunlight. Raverine took off his black sunglass and exhaled deeply. Today is the death anniversary of Raverine’s parents. The doctor who announced the death of Raverine’s father, Edmond Agustine, asserted that he died out of illness but Raverine strongly believes that he was killed. As for Raverine’s mother, Jelita Agustine, th

An hour later, Raverine woke up in his restaurant’s office. His vision was blurry and his face kept throbbing. Raverine felt a little dizzy when he slowly tries to shake himself awake. Raverine groaned and wrapped his hands around his head. He cursed under his breath and shut his eyes close. He tried to stand up but he failed and, allow his body to rest more.But his device beeped all of sudden. Raverine forced himself to look at the device and sighed. “What a fool…” Raverine mumbled and groaned when he touched his cheek.Raverine planned this all out. Raverine had to act weak so that the coward Calil would walk close to him. And once that happens, Raverine placed a tracking device on his shoe before Raverine got knocked out.Raverine swiftly hid the device when Hiro knocked on his office door. “Come in,” Raverine said.“Chef, how are you? A black van just dropped you from the back door of the kitchen. Who beat you up?” Hiro asked.Raverine shook his head. “Calil…” Raverine answered a
Vampire on Fire Chapter 16 | Connoisseur
“There are more than twenty cases of missing persons filed in our department and the majority of them went cold, unresolved, or resolved by stating that the victims are mentally ill, incapable of making rational decisions, and merely suicidal and depressed folks. The age group that they belong to is mostly youth which added to the suspicion that they are just in their fragile stage in life. And it’s one-fourth of men victims and the rest are women victims,” Ember said to Raverine who is busy with scanning his computer screen. “So, basically, we had to look out for young women and men hanging out during the night. We have been in a couple of bars and nightclubs.”“Did your team find something useful in those places?” Raverine asked.“No, but narcotics? A lot of them plus a bunch of high underage kids. Told the jury to shut down the said places and they did but surprisingly unsurprising, these clubs are back to business after a couple of months that seems like a vacation for them rather
Vampire on Fire Chapter 17 | Catastrophe
Ember slowly walked upstairs, the keys hanging around her fingertip kept jingling while her other hand is holding a folder. The folder was given by Raverine before she left his restaurant. The folder has the picture of his mother named Jelita Agustine attached to a paper with Jelita’s personal information. Ember also saw a lot of personal information about Calil Heresy including Calil’s involvement in an undercover organization or similar to an underground economy. “When I tried to dig deeper about Calil and how he rose to his current status, I found a name that has been connected with his life. Die Dark which I believe is a gang or an organization of powerful people living around or outside the city of Pinephil.” Ember flashbacked to what Raverine said to her earlier. Ember even asked if Raverine found more about the Die Dark, but Raverine answered that he had tried to look more about it but doesn’t have enough tools or connections to access more information about it. Ember’s mind
Vampire on Fire Chapter 18 | Catatonic
Jolly Road once lived up to its name… embodied its name perfectly. It was once a jolly place way back in 1982, a town away from the city noise. But when shadow vampires and, mostly, scavengers inhabited the place up until now with their will to kill and drink blood.The place has been the hometown of many criminals granted parole by the probation authorities. But probation officers don’t even bother to check on these criminals from time to time. In due course, these criminals are free from their prison life already.Jolly Road even has shops that secretly sell narcotics and anything illegal for satisfaction. During the day, the streets of Jolly Road are asleep like a drunk man getting out of a hangover to enjoy the night later. That means that Jolly Road is alive only at night. Disco bars are open, nightclubs nearby, and motel rooms are fully booked.Welcome to Jolly Road.Raverine read the huge and torn billboard on top of an under-construction building. Rustic beauty and some vintag
Vampire on Fire Chapter 19 | Clemency
Ember shoots a sharp gaze toward Raverine once the sleeveless guy walked past the white curtain and left the three of them alone near the counter. Ember slightly pushed Raverine’s shoulder and gave him a skeptical expression. “What was that? Vape? You want a vape? Don’t you want answers?” Ember asked in a low voice. “We are just here to ask, Raverine. We don’t have time for expensive, chocolate vape.” Raverine furrowed his brows and answered Ember, “Don’t be in a rush. You might get the wrong information, Ember—" Raverine's heart thumped when he sensed the other four vampires closing in. Their scents are approaching as well as the sleeveless guy. Raverine rushed towards Ember and stand close to her which alarmed Pox. Pox began to suspect Raverine’s actions and walked towards them when Pox saw how Raverine’s face shifted from calm to grey. "Ember. We need to leave. Let's go..." Raverine whispered and held Ember's wrist. Ember removed his hand on her wrist and touched her gun hidden
Vampire on Fire Chapter 20 | Carnage
Ember widened her eyes, slowly losing her grip on her gun but she lifted it again and recovered from what she saw. Ember took a slow step forward and kept a straight gaze at Raverine who is standing still and his hands still raised in the air. Ember examined Raverine from his messy hair down to his blood-soaked shoes and back to his red eyes. “What are you?” Ember asked, continuing to take cautious steps forward. Raverine huffed and lowered his hands. “Ember… Put the gun down and I will tell you, Ember—" “Hands up!” Ember roared and Raverine didn’t listen to her. Raverine resumed speaking in a cold manner, “Just listen to me or we’ll have to do this in a different way.” Ember smirked and scoffed. “Yeah?” Ember yelled in a sarcastic tone, “What way is that different way? “The one you won’t like to take.” Ember stopped and looked to her side. Ember saw Pox’s shoe and fired a bullet, an inch close to hitting Raverine’s shoulder but Ember purposedly missed her fire. “Where is Pox?”
Vampire on Fire Chapter 21 | Defiant
Ember let out a soft groan, her heart is beating softly. She felt comfortable on the mattress she is laying on. But instead of waking up to see her apartment’s walls and ceiling, soft grasses brushed against her legs and the smell of dirt wafted past her nose. Ember sat upright in an instant, startled by the odd atmosphere she felt, and looked around, scanning her surroundings. She is not in her apartment, apparently. More of a place of solace is where she is right now.“Fathima Mae December!”Someone hollered her name, startling her. Ember turned to see the silhouette of a man, bright light outlining his frame. The man with an intimidating aura approached her closer.“Stand up, young lady. You have a lot to do early in the morning but here you are, still laying,” the man said in a deep voice.“What? Dad? Dad…” Ember realized and rushed to hug Mr. December.Mr. December let out an amused chuckle and return Ember’s hug.“Look at you now! Our precious, little Ember is now a feisty polic

Uncle Felix started the engine and drove out of the hospital’s parking lot. He adjusted the rear mirror until he could clearly see his niece tailing behind them driving Raverine’s black sedan car. Then he felt Raverine’s questions fuming out of his ears, Uncle Felix let out a chuckle when Raverine realized that he had been staring at him for almost a minute.“He was wounded when he rushed inside the hospital which was still under renovation, he thought that maybe he could steal and tried to scare the nightshift employees—tough boy. Then because I was a military doctor so they sent him to me, thinking I could handle him well without dying first. It was long ago, I am sure Skotieno has forgotten that I was his doctor for a week when he rested in the hospital.”“I am not sure about that,” Raverine said, “But I am certain that he has a good memory for remembering such things. He spent a week, he must’ve remembered you.”Uncle Felix smiled and resumed, “Anyway… He was badly beaten up that

“What happened in Vorkuta?” Ember asked again but Uncle couldn’t find the right words to utter and answer her right away. It was as if Uncle Felix had gone into a traumatic relapse. Ember already knew a little of what happened in that experiment in Vorkuta but what surprised her the most was her Uncle’s knowledge about it but they still chose to keep it a secret from her, so she played dumb this time to extract the story from her uncle.Uncle Felix removed his glasses, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and sat down. He began explaining, “I have grown to forget about this but I guess the past will always haunt those who witnessed it. Forgive me, I was taken back by a memory when I went inside the bombed facility where they experimented on smuggled babies.”Ember and Raverine looked at each other, and then Ember said, “What did you see Uncle?”“Well, everything was burnt to the ground but images were preserved. Bodies of infants are decapitated, dissected, and close-up shots of their veins
Vampire on Fire Chapter 46 | Failure
Another knock and finally the men outside of Uncle Felix’s office made their identity known. They said that they are the security guards of this hospital. Uncle Felix released the tension from his shoulders and so did everyone inide the office. The three of them—Ember, K, and Raverine calmed down and stood behind Uncle Felix. However, Raverine can still smell that badly hidden scent of a familiar kind from those men outside, he is sure of it. Uncle Felix signaled the three of them to move out of sight as he was about to open the door ajar.“Yes? How may I help you?” Uncle Felix asked with his usual work tone.“Doctor, sorry to disturb you but a skunk was spotted around the hospital…”“A skunk?” K murmured to herself in disbelief. Who reports such thing to the staff and residents here? A skunk, K was shaking her head in amusement.“Skunk, you say?”“Yes, Doctor. Just to notify you that he might come inside your office, so please do lock your windows and door while we secure the place.
Vampire on Fire Chapter 45 | Fright
Ember didn’t bother asking what was happening inside Raverine’s head or the texts he’d been receiving before they left the cabin. After Raverine has a phone call from his restaurant employee or maybe someone else he doesn’t want Ember to know, he looks more like a criminal now than before their first encounter. His aura emitted an ominous feeling that changed the atmosphere between him and Ember. Raverone’s iced cold eyes melted to reveal his burning lust to kill. Ember looked away, she can’t tiptoe around him so she’ll act like Raverine’s sudden shift of mood is nothing but a child’s tantrum.K was the first to leave the cabin and drive back to their hometown. K said she will inform Uncle Felix first about their plans then she’ll go back to their must-be anxious Mother. The December family and their close-knit community are oblivious yet of the situation that Ember has put them and the supernatural presence of vampires that surrounds them. Who knows, Ember surmised, that more of thes
Vampire on Fire Chapter 44 | Frantic
“Raver? Are you nuts? What’s going on? Why did you leave Hiro and your team here all by themselves, working their asses and having to face Calil’s nuisance.”Raverine was too stunned to speak. He pressed the bridge of his nose and tightened his hold on his phone. All he could do was groan over the phone, frustration flooded his mind and there was no way of getting it all out immediately. Why, out of the blue, would Calil visit the restaurant—Raverine mumbled to himself—Calil has never been the one to publicize his hate toward his enemies, not even toward Raverine. Throughout his existence, that double-faced son of the Devil will never reveal his dark side to the public to keep his hands clean. Raverine knew something was wrong with Calil’s actions. Diego scoffed and went on to blame Raverine for what happened to his management and the restaurant. Although the after-effect of Calil’s actions has yet to spur the mass media and vampires of all kinds, Diego is worried about the next time

“Let’s reel back from the start,” K said, crossed her arms, and leaned back on the couch.The rustle of leaves blown by the wind outside the cabin gently laid to silence. The cabin turned into a vacuum for a little while, waiting for something to happen. Raverine ducked his head and rubbed his nape. Ember was the first to move and utter a word.“Before this web of tail-chasing and mask-hunting events, our department was bombarded with cases of missing persons and smuggling. You know that K, right?”K gave a subtle nod. “That’s why I told you that the smuggling cases weren’t transacted through the city, but it could be somewhere in the desert mountains.”“Yeah,” Ember continued, “Most of these cases went cold and if we look closely, there’s a similar pattern in demographics and location in these cases. I wanted to resolve it properly so I weaved all the pieces of information from these cold cases which even led me back to the illegal smuggling cases I handled. Eventually, I picked up t
Vampire on Fire Chapter 42 | Frenemy
Ember rushed to meet K from the gate and prepared herself to dodge K’s attack in case K threw a fit at her and blew her with a punch in the stomach—she would think she deserved half of the pain though. K is leaning against her dark blue motorbike while chewing something. A celery? Ember questioned in her mind. It is indeed a celery that K has been chewing to calm her. K’s brows have never been buried into her glabella and her arms are tightly crossed beneath her chest. K approached Ember and spit the celery before Ember could come closer to her.Both of the sisters greeted each other with a tight hug. K patted Ember’s back and pulled her out of the embrace to get a better look at her face. Ember heaved out a sigh of relief.“I thought I could call you ‘sister’, but it’s better to use the ‘little sister’ once more. How careless were you, this time?” K began to berate Ember. “I would’ve understood if you got into a bloody fight but to drag the family into your mess. Ember, I taught you
Vampire on Fire Chapter 41 | Frugal
Nightmares, thunder, and rain. In my sleep, all that is happening is occurring in a fast motion—the past, the present, and even the future move in a blur. There’s no story to follow in this dream of mine, it’s not a nightmare either. All I can see is the red and blue lights flashing before my eyes and the long noise of police sirens wrecking my eardrums. The incoherent, indistinct words whispered to me as I asked around the people in my dreams. My eyes opened abruptly. I awoke, not because of the dream I had that I could vividly feel and remember, but at the sound of breathing—soft and warm. His skin brushed against my skin. He is cold, awfully cold that his body will soon start crystallizing. Raverine huffed, then buried his forehead in my shoulder.“You are so warm,” he mumbled and snuggled his body closer to me.His feet were dangling on the other side of the sofa and his upper body managed to steal a good space, pushing me to sink deep into the cushion.“Get the fuck off of me,” I
Vampire on Fire Chapter 40 | Eccentric
I woke up and felt hungry when I smelled good food wafting around the place. I rubbed my face and caught a glimpse of Raverine’s back from the kitchen. He’s wearing an apron, probably making the breakfast that’s why the place smells like an expensive diner. I let out a low sigh and sit up straight on the couch, my eyes are still half-open.“Hey, morning,” Raverine greeted without turning around to face me.“Yeah, morning,” I replied, my voice is a little groggy.I yawned and stretched my body muscles before fixing my hair and opening my eyes completely. Once I was wide awake, a lot of papers scattered atop the small table stunned me. I grabbed a few of them and scanned their content. Most of the documents are the profiles of influential people and government officials. One document caught my attention and it’s the profile data of a presidential candidate this year. So, this person must be one of them, the vampires of Die Dark Clan. I heard Raverine coming towards me, so I placed the d
