Chapter fourteen
Lilly POVI gulped down the lump in my throat, as I counted my steps slowly to the curtain, and without warning, I flung it opened, and I froze on my spot, as I was welcomed with the most horrible sight of my life, a figure, dressed in all black, with a black cloak, over the body, and the hoodie cap, over the head.
I tried screaming, but I felt my voice gone, and I could only stand, fidgeting on the spot. I batted my lashes, to be sure I wasn't dreaming, and when I opened my eyes, I was met with an empty space, and that when I felt my voice, and I screamed out in terror."What's the problem Lilly?" Nina asked worried, as she came running from the study, looking all worried. Tilting my head to look at her, I gulped down the lump in my throat, as I slowly raised my trembling hand, pointing at nothing, while looking at her, with a terrifying look on my face. Gosh! What theChapter fifteenSlowly, he turned around to face Lucifer, but his face was covered with the big hoodie cap, making it difficult for him to be recognized."Finally, we met again." His deep voice came on, as he took his hand slowly to his hoodie cap, and let it fall freely from his head, revealing his face. A smirk slowly crept its way to his lips, as he stared at Lucifer dangerously, an invisible intense fire, burning around him, and his aura, consuming everything around him, as even the ocean and the trees, seem terrified of him, but no one can intimate Lucifer, so of course he wasn't affected.Meanwhile, Lucifer stood staring at him, as he finally saw his face, anger surges through him, as his eyes suddenly changed to bloodshot red, his blood boiling in rage, as his breath now came out in a hitch, just the look at the man standing before him, makes him want to devour him, just his presence irritates him so much, that he want
Chapter 16She stared at the food items in confusion, while wondering where it came from. She couldn't remember ordering for food, and to see the items early morning, left her in a state of confusion."Whoa! I'm so happy, we've finally gotten foodstuffs. I can't remember the last time we had foodstuffs in this dorm," Nina squeaked excitedly, as she made to grab the stuffs, but Lilly was quick to take it away from her, before giving her a glare."Must you always be this careless? You don't even know who sent it, and you want to take them, what's wrong with you?" Lilly scoffed unbelievably, before arranging the stuffs back into the polythene bag."Who cares about the sender? We've been starving here for long, if an angel was sent to deliver this to us, who are we to reject or think twice about this opportunity? Let's just take this as a gift from our guardian angels." Nina said with a smile on her face, but Li
Chapter 17Her mouth trembled as she stared in the direction that the car went, as tears welled up in her eyes. She couldn't believe that her precious hairpin was gone, she couldn't believe that the gift her dad gave her before his death, which she had always protected was gone. Her tears finally found their way out of her eyes, as she slowly clenched her fist anger rushing through her."Come on Lilly, we got..." Nina was saying, but before she could finish her statement she already zoomed off to the direction where the hairpin was thrown to.She jumped into the gutter and started looking for the hairpin praying that she found it, but it seem like a dream that'll never come through for her. She was still searching for the hairpin, when a car drove pass her and split mud water right on her face."Oh my God!" Nina, who had been trying to stop her, gasped sharply as her eyes widened in shock.A drop of t
Chapter 18"I thought you already left, what are you doing here?" He asked sarcastically, as he walked over to the dresser, while still drying his hair with the white towel in his hand. Sitting on the chair, he waited patiently for her to state why she came back, and when he heard nothing, he was forced to glance at her, only to find her staring at him."Did you come here to drool?" He voiced out, his voice emitting the usual dark aura, and she pursed her lips as she turned her gaze away. She came for something important, but she got lost in his world again. She couldn't help wondering how someone can be so good looking, she wished she wakes up one and find her dreams come true, that'll be the happiest day of her life."I'm...I'm sorry." She apologized, and he stared at her for seconds before taking his attention back to the mirror. He could see how disturbed she was, but he wasn't ready to ask her what the problem was, as he didn't want
Chapter 19Days laterLilly POVIt's been five days since that bastard threw my hairpin away, and since then there hasn't been any day that I don't go in search of it, but the story had always remained the same as luck never shined on me. Talking about the bastard, I've not seen him since then. I think he has been running away from him, he better do though, because I won't spare him if I ever get to see his damn ugly face again."We're running late already, you're not ready yet?" Nina groaned frustratingly as she came in through the entrance door with two polythene bag in her hands. I guess she went to get breakfast instead of making a simple meal. I don't blame her though, we both are bunch of lazy ass, we're no different from each other."I'm almost done." I groaned tiredly, still sitting on the bed. I don't feel like going to school today, I don't just feel like, I wish I can stay back at home, but that'll be the wo
Chapter 20As she walked into the classroom, she stopped abruptly as she was welcomed by the most horrible person she'd never want to see in her entire life, it was the guy that threw her hairpin away, Raymond. She gritted her teeth as she glared at him still standing on the spot. The fact that she saw him in the class pisses her off, and seeing him sitting on her seat, gosh! She felt like kicking his ass.She took a deep breath, trying to control the waves of anger that keep trying to consume her, and after a few minutes she finally walked up to him with her face burning in pure rage as she clenched her fist angrily. Once she got to his front, she threw him a disdainful look. As much as she wanted to teach him a lesson on the spot, she knew she needed to calm down. Being the class monitor, fighting was made strictly prohibited for her, and if not for that, she wouldn't spare him. But that doesn't mean that she wasn't going to get pissed if he dares to try
Chapter 21Lilly POVI keep gasping for breath as I walked to the class like a zombie. What the heck! I can't believe that bastard made me run around the pitch for some stupid reasons known to him because I know the former coach is definitely not the one that asked him to. Gosh! I feel like I'm going to die anytime soon, I feel like I need oxygen.Stepping into the class, thankfully I got to the class before him. As soon as I got in, I dragged my feet to my seat and sat comfortably. There's no way in hell I'm ever going to allow her to share a seat with me, he's an asshole."Nina come on..." I beckoned on her to come over, and she looked around foolishly before dragging her feet to my seat."Come have a seat." I dragged her to sit with me as soon as she got close, while she gave me a blank look. This girl is one hell of a dumb ass."Lilly what's..." She made to talk, but I threw her a gla
Chapter 22Ruby POVIt's late already and I wonder why Nina isn't coming home. I've been trying to reach for like forever now, but her line hasn't been going through, and it's disturbing. I picked up my phone and dialed her number for the umpteenth time, but still got the same result, so I was forced to give up. Laying on the bed, I covered myself with the duvet after turning off all the lights as I tried to get some sleep, but heck! My eyes were as bright as sunshine, and I couldn't sleep.I kept tossing on the bed, almost in tears. I'm not used to sleeping alone, I've never done it before so I'm not used to it. Back at home, I always sleep beside mom, and from the first day in school here, I've been sleeping with Nina in the room and it feels comfortable.A sudden breeze blew in through the window, swaying the curtain violently and my heart skipped like a million times. Gosh! I forgot to close the window. I sprang up from the bed
Chapter 30It's midnight and I'm still yet to fall asleep. A lot of things have been running through my mind and all effort to get some sleep have proven abortive. Even if I wanted to shut my mind out of all distractions and get some sleep, I couldn't do it as I always found my mind drifting off. For hours, I've been having the delusion that someone is watching me, I feel like I'm being watched by an unknown creature and I must confess that it's really driving me to the edge of craziness. Why would anyone watch me? It's late in the night and everyone should be asleep, right? Letting out a sigh for the umpteenth time, I sat up on the bed and glanced at Nina who was fast asleep on her bed, she slept so peacefully and I wished I could get a peaceful sleep like her too. The sudden violent wind from outside motioned the curtains violently and penetrating the room and I realized that the windows were left opened. Nina was the last person to sleep yesterday, she must have forgot to close th
Chapter 29I thought my dear friend is useless, but turns out that she wasn't entirely useless. Nina told me about a job vacancy in a company, and I'm so going to apply for it. I learned that there's slot for part-time secretary and I'm so going for it. "Remember this, first impression counts most, so you have to do your best and impress them," Nina said for the umpteenth time, adjusting the collar of my shirt. Of course, I'm wearing something professional, a black skirt and a white polo shirt. Well, all thanks to Nina I have to dress like this. What would I have done when she was on my neck to dress like this, even after knowing that I'm not yet employed in the company. "You've said that like a million times already, and j always told you that I will remember that each time you had said that, so can I go already?" I asked frustratingly and she smiled, straightening my chin with her fingers. "One more thing," She excused herself and rushed to pick her body spray, almost emptying th
Chapter 28The thought of the incident from earlier keeps replaying in his head and he just couldn't help the scoff that keeps teariing through his throat. He keeps wondering where the guts came from, he had been wondering where the girl came from, no one dares to do that and to think that the person doing this was just an ordinary human, keeps driving him crazy. Raising his gaze and staring deep into the mirror, his red eyes penetrated the mirror with anger written all over them. His breath thickened as it now came out in grunts, he was just trying so much to control his anger and he didn't know how long he'd be able to control himself. He closed his eyes briefly and threw his head back, trying to calm down. Of course, he knew what would happen if he happens to lose control of himself. He washed his face and changed his clothes before he finally left the restroom and straight to the exit door. Stepping out of the restaurant, he walked over to his car and drove out of the place afte
Chapter 27Raising her gaze to check who she had just bashed into her eyes almost popped out of their sockets at the sight she beheld, it was Kai. She clenched her fist and gritted her teeth as waves of anger flashed through her. She couldn't believe that she had just lost her food to the bastard again. "You again?" She scoffed while pointing out her index finger at him and bit her lower lip, trying to control the waves of anger that sparked through her. Her eyes darted to her food that was now staining the beautiful and well-cleaned tiled floor, she closed her eyes tightly.Meanwhile, Kai stood rooted to the floor with his hands tucked into his pockets while staring at her blankly like nothing had happened. Is he being serious right now? "Are you mad, huh? You just made me lose my food, why the heck didn't you look where you were headed, huh? Why do I always have to bump into bastards?" She yelled angrily, glaring hard at him but what annoyed her more was the fact that he was just
Chapter 26"Here..." He said, holding out something, and taking my gaze to his hand, my eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Wait! Isn't that my hairpin? "Wh...isn't...""I'm cool, aren't I?" He asked, and I scoffed. I snatched it from him then opened the door and stormed out of the car. I wanted to thank him, but hell no! After all, he made me pass through because of this hairpin, I can't thank him again, not now and not forever. "Hey! Not even a thank you?" I heard him yell at me but I strode to the entrance door and entered the dorm, not sparing him another glance. He can stay there for all I care. I strode through the hallway, till I got to the front of our door and I pushed the door open before making my way in. Stepping into the room, I breathed out as I threw myself on the bed, a smile laced up my lips. Seeing my hairpin in my hand, I couldn't be any less happy. I remembered how I cried my eyes out when I lost it, and having it back now, makes me kind of happy. I know yo
Chapter 25Lilly POV I stopped abruptly on the spot, as I was welcomed by the least expected person, it was that jerk that threw my hairpin away, if you're still confused about who I'm talking about, then it's our new coach. Wait! How did he know about this place and why's he here? "Hello, aunt!" He smiled at mom like a gentleman he's not, while I just scoffed unbelievably. This dude is obviously losing his mind, and this whole thing is confusing, it's damn crazy. "Hello young man, I don't think I've seen your face before, how may I be of help, please?" Mom asked him, and I chipped in. "Mom..., go have some rest, I'll take it up from here." I said to mom, and she gave me an 'are you sure' look. I nodded, giving her an assuring smile and with that, she turned and walked back inside, while I stared at her till she was out of sight. I sighed softly and turned to glare at that jerk, who was still standing in front of t
Chapter 24She slowly took her gaze to her mom, giving her a questioning look, as she anticipated her reply. As much as she wanted to pray that her mom told her that it wasn't true, she knew that was the case. "Wh...what are you talking, Lilly?" She asked her, whispering the last part as her eyes brimmed with tears. Her heart thumping heavily against her chest, her fear has finally come true, what she had been trying to hide for years has finally been out. "Why did you lie to me about dad's death?" Lilly asked, as she finally took her gaze to look at her, her eyes demanding an answer. "Tha...that? I told you, Lilly, your dad...""Was killed by a vampire." She cut her off, and her eyes slowly narrowed, as her mouth dropped open. The atmosphere tensed up, as silence assumed the air, the two staring at each other like they were doing some staring contest. "Wh...who told you that?" She asked, and Lilly sp
Chapter 23Lilly POV I kept tossing on the bed till it was finally daybreak. Standing up from the bed, I dashed into the bathroom and had a quick bath, dressed up, and left the dorm. I need to go home and see my mom, I need to feed my curiosity, I don't know what I'm thinking, I need her to look into my eyes and tell me that my dad wasn't killed by vampires. Stepping out of the dorm, I took a cab to the bus stop, where I took a bus that was going to our place. I rested my head on the window, tears dripping from my eyes uncontrollably, just the thought of it gave me goosebumps. My dad was the best man any family can ever ask for, he loved us with everything in him, he'd do anything for us, and just one day, he left and never came back. When I saw the mark on dad's neck years ago, mom had told me that it was nothing, I grew up believing her, I can't imagine that she lied to me. After two hours of drive, the bus finally stopped and
