Life continued the way it was in the castle and with my new diary, there was never a dull moment. It was always a place for me to safeguard my thoughts as Dana and Derick always kept spying on them. Although later, Derick and I promised that we wouldn’t do that to each other, but there was nothing I could do about Dana.My relationship with Derick grew stronger and stronger, and as it grew, so did the misunderstandings. We fought over everything. Dana used to be the one keeping the peace before but then it even got to a point that she stopped involving herself in our arguments.Many at times I would apologize to him and he would do the same and our relationship would continue, but then the same thing would happen again and then it would be back to square one. On and on it went for many years, until two new vampires joined us in the castle.Edmund and Hillary were a married couple, from a different coven that had separated. They didn’t have much
Back to the present…Joana dropped the diary she had been reading. She didn’t even realize that she had been reading for more than twenty-four hours. She never thought that reading about Marylin would turn out to be this exciting, even better than how it was when she read the first one. It was the hunger in her stomach that made her stop. The time she told herself she would go hunting had already passed and it was daylight again. She would just have to make do with vamscren so she could get a good meal.As she climbed down the stairs to enter the kitchen, she thought about this new diary she had found. She noticed that Marylin didn’t write the same way she did in the former one. In this diary, she talked more about herself like she was telling a story, and Joana couldn’t help but relate to every single thing she had been through. She didn’t want to rush her reading by skipping to the final pages to see what happened, but something tol
Before I left, I told Dana where I was going and by the time I reached the enchanted forest, it was already morning. I quickly flew myself inside to escape the blazing sun, as I didn’t carry along any vamscren. I was now in the forest, protected by the shades the forest trees offered. I went to Pixieland to visit my friend, Mariana, and we engaged in a conversation while she was making the new diary. She was glad to know that I loved it and decided to make the new one twice as large so I would have more room to write about my thoughts.Although Mariana had finished making the diary since, I waited in the forest till sunset before I began my journey back to the castle.When I returned, I met the coven gathered in the study again, discussing about their vacation. I wondered if they ever got tired of travelling.Dana invited me to join the meeting as they had already decided on a location but I declined giving the reason that I was tired. And I re
Following the months that passed after the vacation, Derick would always question my whereabouts whenever I wanted to sneak out to see John. I got sick of it, but I had no choice because Derick was not the only one who was concerned about where I was going to. It resulted in numerous quarrels between me and the coven but that never stopped me from always going to see John. I knew they were already suspecting that I was going to see someone, but I didn’t care about what any of them thought. They would never understand how I felt about John, never.I hadn’t started cheating on Derick but with the way he was all over me, I didn’t have much of a choice. I knew that sooner or later; our relationship was going to come to an end.Things would have been easier if I could go to see him during the day, at least the whole coven would have been asleep and then I wouldn’t have to answer to any interrogations about where I was going, but John&rs
I was still with John on the bed when the sun began to rise, and his window was wide open. He had gone to open it in the night to let some fresh air in as we continued making love. I was too involved in the moment to even realize the serious implications of what that would have on me in the morning.The moon looked so pretty from the window, I thought as I continued kissing him, and there we lay until the morning time, when the blazing sun came out.***It was the smell of my own burning flesh that woke the both of us up, the sun rays had entered through the windows and came to meet me where I slept, when I realized what was happening, I quickly ran over to shut the windows, but John had already seen everything.“Your skin is on fire, you’re smoking Marylin!!” What is happening to you? he exclaimed.I looked at him, holding his blanket over me to cover my naked body, I didn’t even know where to start explaining
I jumped out of my skin when I saw Derick in my room, his eyes red with sadness. I just prayed he hadn’t read my thoughts, as I didn’t know how long I stood near my door, thinking of all that had happened between me and my Johnnie.“You cheated on me Marylin, Derick said with tears in his eyes. Why? Was I not enough for you?”I began to feel empathy towards him. My face flushed with guilt, the guilty conscience I threw away last night on the bed with John returned to me now stronger than ever. I didn’t know what to say to Derick, I knew I had hurt him badly and there was nothing I could say now to justify myself.“I’m sorry Derick, I just think we should end things between us, I don’t want to keep hurting you anymore.”“You’re a coward Marylin, you know that? Is this the first time you’re seeing me hurt? Is this the first time you’ve broken me, or seen me in pain because of
Things went well after I moved in with Johnnie in his new home. He was right, it was a friendly neighborhood and it didn’t take long before everyone in the town knew who I was. I would sleep during the day and my Johnnie and I would make love all through the night when he returned home. We didn’t have much, but we had happiness and we had each other.After a few months of living with him, I received a surprise visit one day from Dana.She knocked on the door of his house and woke me up from my sleep. The door wasn’t locked and I didn’t want to go and open it for it would mean I would have contact with the sun’s rays when the door opened.I told the visitor to come in, and I was surprised to see Dana walk through the door. I never thought she would come to visit me but boy was I glad to see her. I knew she had taken vamscren for her to have come by this time, I just wished I could get some around here, and because I
After Dana’s visit I became more wary about what people said and thought about me, I never trusted anyone apart from my Johnnie, I managed the vamscren she gave me to make appearances in many parts of the town during the day. It worked, and after a while, all the witch rumors about me stopped, people just assumed that I was heliophobic or something.Johnnie decided that it was now time for me to meet his parents, we were going over to their house for dinner tonight. I was excited at the thought of going to meet them, I only hoped that the fact that I wouldn’t be able to eat anything wouldn’t pose as a problem.We went to their house in the evening after he came home from work. Their house wasn’t in the same neighborhood as Johnnie’s and in this area, there were entirely different faces, they lived in the outskirts of the town. I made sure to look my best before we left and soon, we reached the house. It was bigger than Johnnies and
