Clarisse felt deafened by what she heard, "You did what? Are you out of your mind?" She asked, but Alice simply shrugged.

"Do you really want me to answer that question? My answer will be phenomenal." Alice threw the question back with sarcasm. She has nothing but her dark humor, might as well use it to annoy someone.

Black Lotus stared at Alice for a moment, wondering if this was Alice's coping mechanism and considering sending her to a therapist, but she doesn't think any professionals could help her. Alice didn't budge, and she was the first one to avert her gaze.

She heaved a sigh. She was too old for this... or maybe it was Alice that was prompting her fast aging. Many have already said that she looks older than her actual age.

"Nevermind that. What happened when we couldn't contact you?" She asked instead, hoping that she'd get a decent answer. Clarisse will still drag Alice to the doctor later, but she has to know what happened last night first. She knew that Alice wouldn'

    Alice drove for three straight hours, and the only time she stopped was to refill her gas tank. Was it worth it? She wasn't sure. But she had reached her goal of leaving as far as she could. Alice stared at the beach ahead. She wasn’t fond of beaches as they’re usually crowded, and she hates sunburns, but this was the only place she could think of at the moment... mostly because she couldn’t find a cliff in the city. Fortunately, there was barely anyone at the beach when she arrived. The wind blew steadily as soon as she rolled the window. It was silent, but that was all she needed at the moment. The growing pressure of surviving, protecting people, and pushing them away at the same time felt like endless screaming in her ears. She changed her boots into comfortable sandals that she had dug out of her luggage before she went out. The sun was blazing earlier, but the weather was unpredictable today, and now it was all gloomy and Alice could see a huge chance of raining. The sky cont

  • WITH ALL MY LIVES   CHAPTER 122: ORIGIN

    The pureblood casually walked away after turning another human and leaving them in a place where they could hide from the sun. It was the only effort he would exert for them. Whether they survive or not isn’t his responsibility. If the human couldn’t even survive turning and being on their own for a week or so, then they weren’t worth his time. He needed someone who was resilient and could be used to fight. Vampires naturally have instincts to fight because they are drawn to blood. A few trainng after he sees that they are worth investing some time in, and they are already good as useful. There was barely anyone who survived, thanks to the hunters, but he has all the time in the world, as there is no shortage of humans to turn into vampires. He refuses to help anyone either. If they can't survive humans, then they're not useful for him at all. "That vampire would have been a good addition to my army…" He clicked his tongue in disappointment, thinking that he shouldn't have waited for

    They were certain that Eliijah was a pureblood like them, but he didn’t belong to any of the original bloodlines despite being one of the older purebloods left. Most of the original purebloods had chosen to die after a few years of living such an idle life. Boredom eventually got them, and they chose to die instead of living longer. But their descendents don’t think the same. Instead of living idly by after discovering phenomenal things about their kind and making sure that their kind goes on, then just choosing to die, their descendants chose to know more and more about the world. They knew that they could live longer lives, and they did. The curiosity over the pureblood that didn't come from any other bloodline spread among all the existing bloodlines. They started seeking Elijah with urgency because they wanted to know where he came from and if there were any others like them who were born in other parts of the world, but Elijah wasn’t very cooperative. They tried everything, fr

    No one complained when Hannah had killed him after she couldn’t take his father’s actions and attitude any longer. She rose to leadership after she married her lover, and they both assumed the position. Everyone simply followed suit. At most, everyone was relieved that the man was finally dead and that he was replaced by more logical people. "I should have gone that time instead of you." She was talking about when Ethel was sent to find Elijah and present herself as an offering. It should have been Hannah at first, but Ethel knew her sister’s relationship with their cousin. She had no choice but to follow their father’s order, but Ethel stepped up and volunteered herself to be the offering to the unknown pureblood. Both Hannah and Ian were the candidates for leadership, but Hannah’s father was made nothing but greedy. Her father knew about their relationship and knew what would happen to him if he let go of his position. He held on to his position despite people’s opposition. It was

    He checked the address he had on his phone and confirmed that he was in the right place. Allen was staring at the humble house a few steps away. He decided not to come any closer. They might be the closest family he has, and they were basically his descendants, but that didn’t mean anything to any of the humans living at the house. Allen doesn't even know what he was doing here. "What is he expecting me to do?" Allen mumbled as his eyes never left the place. Elijah insisted on him leaving and finally going to this place, but what is he supposed to do? They didn’t know him, and he doesn’t know them either. He trusts Elijah's judgments, but this wasn't one of them. He doesn’t remember anything much about his human life, and he thought he had already lost it until Elijah revealed that he had tracked the remaining members of his family. He heaved a sigh. Allen feels like an idiot standing there, all clueless as to what he should do. He is probably going to be reported as a creep if he s

    Allen was hoping that an adult would notice Heather and ask her where her parents were. They would definitely realize what was happening and bring her back home. That will be the easy way out for him, but there wasn’t any adults around and the children were starting to leave as well. She started walking around again, obviously already lost to where she was supposed to go. The child ended up going to the night market that some of the stalls happened to open early. There seems to be an event in the area. He heard the child’s stomach grumble while walking around and seeing all the food stalls. The smell of human food doesn't affect him, but it must be so tempting for a small child who barely ate anything before she decided to ran away from home. Heather went to the side and rummaged her bag. She counted the coins she had in her purse and whimpered like a lost puppy. “Is this why mama told me to learn how to save up? I shouldn't have bought that keychain.” She was close to tears once ag

    Alice woke up from a lingering headache. She had barely got any sleep last night as she kept on waking up to dreams of her past lives. It was the first time that she had so many at once in a night. She wasn’t sure, but she might have seen a new one as well, or it could be another detail from another life that she didn’t know. “I hate this world.” She mumbled and scratched her head violently, not caring if she scratches herself or anything. The woman looked around and more memories came rushing to her, “Right..” She checked in to a nearby hotel after drenching herself with the rain that lasted for two hours. She sat there completely still until someone offered an umbrella and asked if she was alright. It as a very simple question but she couldn’t really answer it. She accepted the umbrella from the middle aged man to make it less awkward and thanked him for it. She got up from the bed and started stretching and doing some workout routine to keep her body awake. Alice was regretting

    They say that death changes people. Alice is surrounded by death, and she is quite used to it. What she never expected was that there would be more pain than she already felt. It was suffocating, and everything felt so different. Her world was already on the verge of collapsing, and this was the last straw for her. Alice really thought that she would feel empty, but she had bursts of emotions that she also thought were long buried in her heart. She got out, just running away from that place because she couldn’t take it anymore, like the coward she was. Clarisse caught her fist, which should have landed on the wall. Her hand was already bruised from pulling the same stunt last time. She might break her bones if she does it again. Alice was trying to take her hand away from Clarisse, but she barely had energy to stand. "Hurting yourself isn’t the answer, Alice." Clarisse followed Alice after she left the funeral parlor. The woman was staggering as she went out after crying for two ho

    "Why are we called here?" Klaver asked as he arrived late and had no idea why they were called by Black Lotus again. Karina shrugged, "Not sure. Maybe we’ll get a new mission?" They all went inside Clarisse’s office with anticipation. None of them did anything wrong lately, so they were confident that they were not here to be scolded by their head. Clarisse took a moment to look at each of them. They even held a birthday party for Alice and Carl the other day. She saw how happy they were. It’s just a shame that Alice couldn’t live as a human, even if their circumstances had already changed. "Did we mess up again? Please don’t tell me we’d have to attend trainee classes again." Art spoke up after he couldn’t take the silence anymore. She smiled, "No. Unless you did something else I wasn’t aware of." "We haven’t broken any rules… lately." Carl promptly answered as he was tired of being reprimanded. She pointed at the envelope Alice left for her group, "I called you guys to give yo

    "You need to feed." Elijah kept looking at Alice. She was pale as she refused to drink any human blood. Louise continued to alternately look at Alice and Elijah. Alice was his enemy one moment, and now she appears in their house as a vampire. She demanded to join Elijah in fighting off the purebloods, which Louise still thinks is a suicide mission, but he has no abilities to stop his master or Alice. "I’m still Alice, and my hunter pride is still intact. I’ve been alive longer than you think. I could handle this." She simply refuses to drink human blood, even if everything in her is screaming to feed. Unfortunately, even a human soul couldn’t maintain her body as a human. Her body naturally went back to its natural form right after her mind fully awakened. Her abilities came back to her almost immediately. "Why are you insisting on coming anyway?" Elijah doesn’t know how he would treat Alice now. He remembers everything, along with all the feelings that he shared with Alathea. They

    "Alice, Alice, wake up." Elijah had already gotten the location from Black Lotus and also received the blood flowers he requested. He was on his way to the given location when he felt a very ominous feeling. Instead, he rushed his way towards Alice’s house and found her unconscious with the charm he had gifted her on the ground. He checked if she was still breathing before lifting her towards the bed. Elijah has been trying to wake him up for five minutes straight, but to no avail. By experience, she looked like she was remembering her memories again. He doubts that the doctors would find anything wrong if he brought her to the hospital. "Alice!" He exclaimed and finally opened her eyes, and Elijah saw her eyes turn red, as of a vampire. She gasped and lifted herself from the bed. Elijah was staring at her with complete shock in his eyes. "Who the hell turned you into a vampire?!" There was fear in his eyes. He had killed all of her past lives, but now that he didn’t have to kill h

  • WITH ALL MY LIVES   CHAPTER 153: FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN

    Humans either worshiped or feared them. They called them gods, not knowing that their belief was the one that strengthened them. At the same time, losing belief in creatures like her greatly weakens them. The more people forget about them, the sooner they cease to exist. She has existed for thousands of years. Time was fleeting, and so many things have changed over time. Her existence was fueled, not by belief but by fear. No one knows what she truly was, unlike other "gods" that humans have encountered. Instead, she was born out of fear of the unknown. It morphed in her over time until she developed a taste for human blood. Despite her efforts, she couldn’t stop what she had become, like all the monsters they had imagined. Before she knew it, she became a creature that survived on human blood and fear, and yet she still fights for her own instincts whenever she can. Alathea, or at least that is what she calls herself at the present time, quickly walked on a shade to protect herself

    "Why am I called at such an ungodly hour?" She complained as she entered Clarisse’s office. Black Lotus didn’t tell her the reason why she was hailed, but she hoped that it was for a great purpose. "Alice, why are you here early?" Carl asked with curious eyes. "I was called by Black Lotus. Why are you here too?" She threw back the question. Carl pointed at Clarisse’s office, "She called me too. What is up? She didn’t tell me what this was about." Alice didn’t answer and walked ahead. She was now certain that it wasn’t about Elijah. Carl wouldn’t be called if it was. "Wait for me!" He exclaimed and caught up. They both entered the office and were welcomed by on of Clarisse’s secretary. She pointed at the door, "She’s been expecting you. Feel free to head inside." Alice immediately figured out that something was happening. Still, she went ahead and opened the door. "Happy birthday!" She heard party poppers and confetti flying over her and Carl. Alice looked at them with utter co

    Alice went home with a heavy heart. She had had a bad feeling since earlier. It has been a bit peaceful after the incident of them being ambushed by the old gang members of their old enemy, but deep inside her, she knew that something bad would happen. She dismissed the worry, wishing that it was just her being paranoid. Elijah already killed the newborns but the pureblood who turned the humans was still alive. "Two of them were thrown in a dumpster, and the other one was just left on the streets." She recalled the report she heard earlier. Three of their hunters were killed relentlessly by different vampires, whom she assumes were pureblood vampires. The hunters that were disposed of in the dumpster like trash were killed by a woman, while the other one was killed by another vampire. None of them were the purebloods she saw last time, but they all thought the same after seeing the footage of how the hunters were killed. It was impossible that it had been done by a newborn vampire.

  • WITH ALL MY LIVES   CHAPTER 150: A MOON AND A STAR

    Allen let out an annoyed groan after he had just pulled Louise out of the scene when he saw hunters hovering near them. Louise was still out of it because of the high of the bloodlust still rushing to every fiber of his being. "What was happening?" Louise asked. His voice is deeper than usual, but he is slowly gaining consciousness about what is happening. He clicked his tongue, "Idiot. You almost got killed. Wipe that blood off your mouth." Louise’s eyes widened, and he felt more sober after what he heard. He touched his face and realized that Allen was right about the blood on his lips. There was something about blood that the vampire’s body was constantly craving; no matter how much they consumed, it would never be enough. That is why he doesn’t even realize that he is covered in blood as his body casually hangs on for that connection. He promptly wiped his mouth clean and used all the concentration he had to calm himself. They couldn’t walk around with his eyes glowing, and he

    "Why are you all here?" Alice complained after seeing the rest of her old team. Art laughed awkwardly. "You didn’t check the notice again, didn’t you?" "What was it about?" She didn’t deny it at all. It was true that she didn’t bother reading it. Carl shakes his head. He was starting to wonder how Alice hadn’t gotten herself into any danger because of her carelessness. "We were set out as a group again. Because of what happened yesterday, we were advised to be careful just in case they were planning any group attacks." Kate was the one who explained the situation. Alice frowned and was about to leave, but Karina quickly managed to stop her. "Anyone is expected to follow the notice, and was told that anyone who would abandon their group will be suspended indefinitely. I think Black Lotus added that part just for you." Alice’s smile was oozing with sarcasm, but she had no choice but to follow them around. It took them an hour to find a vampire, and it wasn’t even a newborn. Elijah

    She practiced her aim and poured her heart out while running. This time, she got the rest she wanted, and no one randomly appeared to bother her training. There were trainees who saw her, but no one dared approach her. She realized that they were put into self-training because there were no availability of trainers. It has never happened before when she was still training. If one of their trainers wasn’t around, there would always be someone who would step up to help. They never got to idle like that, and it somehow worried her. She shook her head. "What would be our future with these kids?" Alice couldn’t help but sigh after watching them from a short distance. She wasn’t expecting everyone to have perfect aim, but they were just bad. Alice couldn’t take it anymore and finally stepped up to help them. They all tensed up when Alice suddenly approached them, but she quickly told them that she simply couldn’t take watching them. "Skills are useless if your stance sucks. You’ll always
