"Good, I know how to get Ragnor to sleep with you," Siku's mother said mischievously Ragnor left the palace for Matara where his father stays. He spent a lot of time flying in the skies hoping that would help him clear his head. Now and then he closed his eyes to see where Clara was, but she was still in the car. He closed his eyes again to check on her and he saw that Clara was out of the car, she was with Jessica. He frowned. Seeing Clara walking on a street, he looked around to find out where she was. He saw a sign and got to know Clara was in California. Knowing where Clara was, he felt a bit okay inside.It was morning when Ragnor arrived at Matara and he landed in front of the house not caring who saw him. His half-sister, Emily, was the first to meet him. "Are you crazy big brother?" Emily said in her cute baby voice, "What if someone sees you?" she added worriedly.Ragnor did not respond but made his wings disappear and he entered the house with a terrifying cold look. "Bro
Jessica closed and opened her eyes, shaking her head in disbelief, "Was that Clara?" she thought surprised. Jessica moved away from Clara's door checking the time, It was getting to 8 p.m. She decided to go out of the house instead. The city streets were lit and the stars were evident in the skies. Jessica walked down the street looking around. She hailed a taxi and asked the driver to take her to any clubhouse in the area. "New to the City?" the driver asked "Yeah," Jessica replied from the back seat "I know a good clubhouse, I will take you there," the driver said and put the car into motion. After a 35-minute drive, the car came to a stop in front of a big building with lights of assorted colours all around it. "Here we are?" the driver announced Jessica looked out the car window and smiled, "This would do," She paid the driver and stepped out of the car. Jessica made her way towards the entrance and paid her way into the club. It was a big club. Bigger than the one run by
"Are you sure you want this?" Ragnor asked softly, planting a kiss on her forehead. She responded with a nod and he granted her wish. That brief time he spent with her became a magical moment of passion. While Ragnor and Clara were lost in passion, Jessica was in her room sharing updates on the current situation with Andrews via text while lying on her bed. Jessica paused as she felt something strange in the atmosphere. This feeling only lasted for a second so she could not tell if she had imagined it, or if it was real. Ragnor upon arriving in the house made his presence unnoticeable knowing Jessica was a vampire too and would know he was in the house. Jessica stepped out of her room and walked around the house for a while checking if everything was in place. She returned to her room not seeing anything out of place. She sat on her bed and retrieved her phone which she left on the bed on her way out and began typing again. "Andrews, what is happening at your end? I am sure by no
Clara changed the channel back to the station where they were talking about the previous night's incident. "The police have been able to pick up an image from the CCTV camera. This person was the last person the deceased was seen with before her gruesome murder. Unfortunately, the camera only captured the person's back," The reporter announced "As of now, we do not have any news on the gender of this mystery person. Stay tuned and we will update you with the latest news on last night's unfortunate incident," The reporter added Clara quickly changed the station, back to the music channel, hearing footsteps. The servant walked in to clear the table but stopped when she found Clara still sitting behind the table."I will come back later ma'am," the servant informed Clara and proceeded to leave."No, please, I am done," Clara stopped the servant and helped her clear the table. "Ma'am, thanks, I will clear it," the servant tried to stop her."Don't worry, I don't know how to cook but I
Jessica walked in looking at Clara suspiciously. Clara turned her attention to the TV as she ate her food. Jessica joined them at the table and tasted the food Clara had prepared, "Hmm, tasty, you cooked this?" "Yeah, you like it?" Clara replied with a smile."Yeah, it is nice," Jessica praised getting up from her seat and walking towards the bar. Grace got up and cleared her empty plate and that of Clara's and exited the dining room towards the kitchen. Jessica poured herself a glass of wine. "So, when do you plan on starting the adult class?" Jessica asked with her back facing Clara."I will be checking online for schools around and what the cost would be then I can start," Clara replied.Jessica turned to face Clara holding a glass of wine in her right hand."How do you plan on doing that, borrow my phone or you would be going to the cafe?" Jessica questioned with a curious expression. "Oh, I got myself a phone at the market today. That is what I plan to use for that purpose,"
Ragnor carried her in his arms and walked down the street back to the apartment. Meanwhile, Jessica was on the other side of the street trying to find Clara. Ragnor arrived at the apartment with Clara in his arms. The servant opened the door for them. "Do you want to get down or prefer I carry you around as my punishment?" Ragnor asked with a smile once inside the house. Grace was instantly surprised by the caring man before her now recalling his terrifying aura from earlier. She also understands where some of Clara's baby behaviour is coming from. This man pampers her a lot. "This is love," Grace thought still frozen in her spot admiring the two. "Please put me down," Clara said in a dull voice and Ragnor obliged. Clara moved towards the living room, with Ragnor right behind her. Grace went back to the kitchen to give them privacy. "Can we talk?" Ragnor asked in a gentle voice. Clara nodded and led him to her room where they could talk more privately. Once in the room Clar
"Yes, I will get the tickets and we can leave tonight," Ragnor informed Clara, and she nodded. Ragnor was happy to see her looking better now. Ragnor called the airport and purchased two tickets to Matara. Their flight was scheduled for 11 p.m., leaving them with just forty-five minutes to get ready and be at the airport. Clara quickly took a shower and changed into a straight dress. Ragnor helped her tie her hair in a bun and they both left the house saying goodbye with just thirty minutes to get to the airport. "Where is Jessica?" Clara asked on her way out."She stepped out, ma'am," Grace replied entering the living room as Ragnor and Clara also entered the living room from the top."Don't worry we will call her when we get to Matara," Ragnor said wrapping his arms around Clara's waist and ushering her out. He was glad she appeared to have forgotten everything he said earlier. They arrived at the airport and were the last to check in before they closed the gate. Ragnor bought
"These people could be vampires," the man said Jessica tensed up and turned off the TV, hearing that. "I told you I hate murder stories," Jessica yelled at Grace, threw the remote to the table and left the dining area leaving Grace confused. Grace shrugged her shoulders and went back to the kitchen. She wished Clara was around. It had been just 48 hours since Clara left, and she already missed her. Grace sighed and continued with her duties.Back in Matara, Clara had just woken up. She will be meeting her teacher today. It felt so exciting. She quickly went downstairs to find Ragnor, Emily and George. "Good morning everyone," Clara greeted cheerfully and Ragnor went to meet her halfway down the stairs and greeted her with a kiss."Good morning my love," Ragnor said after the kiss."Good morning," came George and Emily's voices. Emily was glued to the TV as usual, and George was glancing through a newspaper after their greeting."Breakfast is ready," came the servant's voice."Impe
Emily, who was standing at the entrance of the bedroom, closed her eyes and began to glow, Clara's eyes widened seeing a glowing little girl at the door. She pulled away from the embrace, looking at Ragnor puzzled."Brother do whatever comes to mind," said Emily."Distract her," Ragnor thought and he changed into his flying form and kissed ClaraRagnor used what Clara liked to distract her. He started glowing and Clara smiled wrapping her arms around him forgetting the glowing little girl at the door as she responded to his kisses. Inside the room, George was forced to protect his eyes and he moved back as the glow in the room became too bright with Emily, Nyota, Ragnor and Clara all glowing together. The glow slowly began to fade and the room returned to its original light. It was almost 5 a.m. and the top floor of the palace glowing, had attracted some people to the area wondering what was happening. Ragnor smiled seeing Clara was now breathing and her body temperature had become w
"I only have one question. Did she want to come back?" Emily asked walking towards Nyota."Yes, she wanted to come back but Emily it was not easy pulling her out of the place," Nyota replied and Emily smiled.While they were talking, Ragnor was just sitting on the bed, in the same position staring at Clara while holding her hand in his. He couldn't hear any of the conversation going on around him. All he could feel was the emptiness accompanied by the immersed pain of the loss of his beloved. George and Nyota led Emily out of the room and back to her room. They sat her down and tried to talk her out of what she wanted to do."Emily, I know you love and care a lot about Aunty Clara but you are not healing a sickness or something, you are using her body as a medium to connect with her soul to pull her back. Emily, you know you can die doing that," George said worriedly."Emily, I know you want to help, but this is dangerous. You don't have a fighting ability; how will you protect yourse
"Please tell me she is still alive," said Nyota whose eyes were still moist with tears.Ragnor sat on the bed looking at Clara who looked more like she was sleeping but her body temperature was cold. George walked towards Nyota and hugged her tightly."I wish I could but we are going to try to bring her back," George said and pulled away from Nyota and looked into her tears-stained eyes."You have connected with her soul before. Ragnor will get the poison out and heal her body. I need you to be strong once he is done. You will call her back," George said."She was not dead when I did that. I am not sure if that will work with her ......" Nyota's voice thrilled off. "She is still not dead. She is like, what we say, in a coma but if we don't do anything she will die for real," George said and inhaled deeply. "Nyota, don't look at it that way. Her mind is still alive and her heart beats faintly. You connected with a soul before, that is more important and you can connect again. For Ragno
"Let me call Ragnor," George said and immediately searched for his phone. Back at Andrews's apartment, Gabrielle was walking down the road carrying her baby at Andrews's command. She could not control her tears and as she walked away from their apartment in the night, she turned to look behind a couple of times at Andrews, who was still standing in front of the apartment watching her back and kept on urging her to go. Killing Clara was like touching the lion by the tail, there was no way Andrews would escape death. He just wanted to ensure no matter what happens to him, Gabrielle and the baby will be safe. Ragnor's roar which was shaking the whole building could still be heard. Hearing Ragnor roar, you don't need a soothsayer to tell you the immense pain he was going through for the loss of his beloved. Inside the building, Ragnor was still kneeling next to Clara's body, uncontrollable tears flowed down his face as he continued to roar into the silent night. His fangs had already
Ragnor sat on the roof waiting and thinking of how to rescue both mother and child.Andrews was pacing up and down his apartment wondering if Ragnor could save his family without him having to kill Clara. Clara is in the palace and for him to go there would be too suspicious and calling her would be equally suspicious. He knew at this moment it would be difficult to get to Clara without raising any suspicion. Back in the palace, Clara was sitting on the bed in deep thought wondering if Ragnor was okay and if Andrews's family was out of danger. Emily was with Nyota asking so many questions as it was her first time visiting the city. George was resting in his room as he was working on some changes they would like to implement in the city. Ragnor had come to the full realization of his power and could control them very well so George was not bothered about what was happening with Siku and Andrews's family. George was certain everything would be fine. Siku cannot walk free this time. Cla
"Please come quick, Siku is, she is, please help," Andrews cried and ended the call."I hope this will get them here faster. Clara, I am so sorry for what I am about to do. Please forgive me," Andrews said and quickly called Gabrielle's phone which Siku answered immediately."Ragnor is coming back tonight. Please don't harm my baby. I will do as requested," Andrews said."Now, that is what I want to hear. You see, things are a lot easier if you just listen and obey," Siku said and laughed. "Since you have been a good lad, I will let you see your wife briefly," she said and put on the phone camera. Andrews saw Gabrielle tied up to a chair, her hair dishevelled and a cloth tied around her mouth. The baby was lying on the bare carpet. Seeing the tears flowing down Gabrielle's face and the baby on the floor crying, he felt a sharp pain in his heart."Please, Princess, I beg you, let the baby lie on a bed or something, it's too cold to lie on the bare floor. I beg you. He is just a child,"
"Gabrielle, where are you? is everything alright?" he questioned "Hello, Andrews," came Siku's voice and the colour drained off Andrews immediately upon recognizing the person. "How did she get into the city?" Andrews thought with eyes widened, concerned about the safety of his wife and child. "Did you miss me?" Siku asked and laughed, knowing from his silence, he was in shock. "Okay, let's not make me do anything nasty which will get my newly purchased carpet stained with blood. Cleaning items are costly in this city," she said nonchalantly "Please, don't harm them, I would do anything you ask of me. I promise," came Andrews's trembling voice. "Now, that is something I like but unfortunately it seems it's too late for you Andrews because there is nothing you can do for me unless you already have a plan that would work," Siku said. "Just tell me what you want and I will get it for you, please don't harm my wife and child," Andrews pleaded. "Ha......ha......ha...... ha," Si
"A couple of days more and I do away with this facade is quite exhausting," Siku thought and proceeded to her bedroom. The next day, Andrews and Gabrielle arrived in the Immortal City with their newborn. Gabrielle was already exhausted from the trip, so once they entered their home, she decided to take advantage of the baby sleeping to also get some rest. Andrews, however, went to the palace to greet the King and inform him of his return. He was just in time as Ragnor and Clara were about to leave for Matara to go pick up Emily. "Welcome back," said Ragnor after Andrews greeted them. "Thanks, my king," Andrews replied and bowed respectfully. "I suppose you left Gabrielle in San Francisco?" asked Clara. "No, I came with her. She stayed back at home to rest. She is very tired from the trip," Andrews replied. "That is fine. Give her my love and tell her we will come to visit as soon as we return from Matara," Clara said. 'Thanks, Mrs Usiku," replied Andrews. "Wow, this is th
"You will come with me. We will fly," Ragnor said and Clara was happy. The next day, Ragnor was in a meeting with some council members and Nyota and Clara decided to take some time to admire the city. The city indeed had changed a lot with the new ideas of improvement. While in town they ran into Siku, Nyota frowned immediately upon seeing her but Clara happily greeted her. "Hello princess," Clara said with a smile and Siku smiled back shyly. "Please, just call me Siku," Siku said and lowered her gaze. Nyota frowned but was shocked by what she witnessed. If someone had told her, that Siku had a twin or clone version of herself with a different mind, she would believe it. She thought looking at Siku shocked. "I can't address you like that; you are still royalty," Clara pointed out and Siku sighed. "Clara, can you find it in your heart to forgive me?" Siku asked, looking at Clara. "Don't worry about it. The past is in the past. It's a new day. Let it go and forgive yourself too
