The servant looked outside but didn't see anything and returned inside dismissing Gabrielle's words as drunk speech. She sent Gabrielle to her room and helped Gabrielle change into something comfortable before she returned to her room to sleep.Back in Clara's room, Ragnor held Clara in his arms as he watched her peaceful sleeping face. Occasionally she will call his name in her sleep and tighten her grip around him. At about 4:30 a.m., Ragnor carefully pulled himself out of bed and exited the room by flying out the window. "Good morning, ma'am Vivienne," came Clara's sweet voice as she descended the stairs at 8 a.m. "Ah! Someone is in high spirits today," Vivienne said smiling, "Had a good night's sleep?" "Yes. I think the talk we had did me some good. It almost felt like he was still with me. I also had a beautiful dream. It felt so real but yeah, waking up this morning, I knew it was just a dream," Clara replied. Vivienne looked at her questioningly, "You created an image of h
Gabrielle entered the house smiling but she stopped when she saw her mum heading for the staircase."Who or what is making her smile?" Vivienne thought seeing Gabrielle smile as this was never her habit.Gabrielle walked past her mother and went into her room looking angry like always.Vivienne shook her head in resignation. She had seen Gabrielle smiling earlier so why the sudden anger? Vivienne ignored Gabrielle and proceeded to do what she had on her mind.It was six, Saturday morning and Clara was still in bed. Ragnor had already left early hours in the morning before the sun started coming up. "Clara, are you still sleeping?" came a voice after a knock. Clara opened her eyes and squinted her face waiting to hear the knock again to confirm someone was at her door. "Clara, can I come in please?" came the voice again after another knock. Clara sat on the bed and ran her hands through her hair, "Come in, the door is not locked,"Clara was surprised to see Gabrielle. It's been week
In her heart, she believes Jessica and Andrews are her friends but they do not think the same about her. Jessica looked at Andrews while hugging Clara and smiled. Finally, they can control Ragnor.Clara was so happy to see Jessica, her best friend, unaware of the danger looming around like a shadow.The trio sat behind the reserved table and ordered some food and drinks. Clara ordered some juice."Still taking children's drinks?" Andrews teased."Fresh juices are good for you. You should try it sometimes?" Clara defends."Andrews, leave her alone. The good news is we all have drinks to celebrate an opportunity to meet again?" Jessica said and raised her glass "Cheers" "I only cheer with alcohol so cheers Jessica. Clara high five," Andrews said laughing.They continued eating their meal. "Clara, how is your boyfriend?" Jessica asked after a while.The smiles quickly vanished from Clara's face, "We broke up?" she replied sadly."Oh no, I am so sorry, what happened?" Jessica enquired wi
"You will find out soon," Princess Siku replied and left the hotel that night, leaving Jessica and Andrews to leave in the morning. At the hospital, the emergency door opened after twenty minutes and the doctor stepped out. Ragnor walked up to him and enquired about Clara. "What happened to her?" asked the doctor."Not sure, she ate something, I was told," Ragnor replied looking worried and asked, "What is wrong with her?" "She is fine. Her vitals and everything are fine. There is nothing wrong with her. I am not sure what may have triggered the state she was brought in but I will run more tests to ensure everything is fine," the doctor replied."Can I see her?" Ragnor asked ignoring everything the doctor had said. "She is being transferred to one of the wards. You can see her. The nurse will take you," replied the doctor.Ragnor went with the nurse to Clara's ward. He smiled seeing Clara sleeping peacefully. Her skin colour had returned to normal as if nothing happened. "Was her
Clara smiled and kissed him. He kissed her passionately knowing she had accepted him for who he was but there was more to tell her. She was her soul keeper. Can he reveal that to her?Pulling apart from their kiss, they lay in bed cuddling each other. Ragnor smiled and felt joy and wholeness within himself. So great to reunite with his love. Everyone in Vivienne's villa was mesmerized by his ridiculously handsome features. Yes, he gets that a lot and hence has become so used to it. Yes, this is how people of both genders, have always acted around him, mesmerized by his presence except for Clara. She was different. She did not lust after him, and neither was she greedy for his money. To her, he was a customer who had visited the club and hence should join the activities. This was the beginning of a new chapter in Ragnor's life. He met someone unique.He kissed the back of Clara's head and smiled. He was genuinely happy.In the middle of the night when everyone was asleep, with Clara h
This means, a lot of people have attempted to harm Ragnor and the queen had sent them to the mountain to perish. However, she was the only one she had told to carry ten humans with her.With the realization dawning on her, she tried to set herself free but her struggle yielded no positive results. Drenched in sweat and tear-stained eyes she began to scream with the hope of someone finding her but no one came.It was 1 a.m. when Princess Siku woke up with a scream, sitting up on the bed immediately. She was drenched in sweat and so terrified."It's a dream, it was all a dream," she said and inhaled deeply. She looked around her room to ensure she was indeed in Ragnor's room in the palace. She breathed a sigh of relief confirming she was still in the palace in Ragnor's room and not trapped in some mountain awaiting death. Her door flung open causing her to jump out of fright and one of the palace guards entered. "My princess, are you alright?" he enquired "Who called you here? Get out
Andrews brushed his lips on hers and awaited her reaction but she did not protest, so he kissed her. Gabrielle got hold of herself and pushed Andrews away slapping him across the face."What is wrong with you?" she yelled angrily.Andrews's head turned to his right with the slap from Gabrielle. When he turned to look at her again, he was furious, and Gabrielle instantly regretted slapping him. Gabrielle had always perceived him to be a dangerous person even though he presented himself as a flirtatious funny person but she had agreed to work with him because they had a common enemy, Clara.Now, he had confirmed her perception of him. Andrews looked like a terrifying beast who would devour her in seconds. Andrews hissed at her and his fangs extended in length, but he quickly composed himself. Gabrielle rubbed her eyes to look at his face again but when she did, he looked normal. "Did she just imagine his teeth growing longer?" Gabrielle thought Andrews could hear her thoughts and no
"You have come to ask about Ragnor,?" George questioned "Yes" Siku replied "I am Desmond and I knew the father of Ragnor," George said "Hmm, why the sudden interest in him?" He asked "We are about to get married" Siku replied playing the marriage card again George looked at the woman sitting in front of him carefully and decided not to tell her everything about Ragnor. "Okay" George repliedGeorge took a deep breath and began to speak slowly; his voice was very frail, so Siku had to get close to hear everything he was saying. It was almost like he was whispering."A man once lived on this earth, born of human parents but he turned into a vampire when he was a full-grown man. He was called George. It was said that his mother encountered a gryphon on her way back home. This creature is a creature of magic. No one knew what it did to the woman, but we believe the child's strange transformation was from that encounter," George said He paused and requested water. Princess Siku helped
