The night of that big announcement, Ivanna tossed on her bed with uneasiness. Marriage was the last thing on her mind as it was the only obstacle she was encountering on her way to achieving her big dreams.She needed a plan. But She didn't get the chance to think when an almost silent knock came on her door."It's me, Nicholas," A voice said from outside. She hurried to it and unlocked it. "Are you alright?" He asked immediately as his face came into view with a concern-filled tone.Nobody knows her more than her brother. His concern brought tears to her eyes.She shook her head softly."Don't worry," He said as he pulled her into a hug. "I know how much you aren't happy about this, it's my fault for supporting father instead of you." She tightened her arms around him. "So it's up to me to correct it,"She raised her face and looked at his face. "What do you mean?""There's a ship leaving for the capital, It's father's ship but they answer to me. I can get you inside and transport yo
The girl he was proposing to didn't seem impressed and darted disappointedly at his expression, before storming off. But not before she whacked his devilish face with her purse.The shock on his face made Ivanna rupture into laughter.The laughter happened to have been loud since she caught a glare from the man. His face hardened as his eyes found her.Her bad.She hastily jumped off her seat and attempted to fade away into the crowd. It was nighttime anyway.But the man didn't seem to want her gone yet as he trailed behind her with long steps.Ok, now this is creepy.She picked her pace and began running. She halted when she got to a juncture, the man wasn't after her anymore. Her eyes scanned the crowd, scouring for someone.She could recollect he instructed her to remain where she was, and now she couldn't even recognize where had been earlier.She inhaled deeply before releasing it. It felt good to be at home. Being back in the country after a decade and a half felt great."Ivanna
The Quinns were hosting a party, and the Pierlot were invited. Mr Pierlot wasn't accessible, so he instructed his children to attend in his place."Dad wanted us to, so stop whimpering." He hissed, and Ivanna glared.As they walked to the entrance of the mansion, someone recognized Nicholas and ushered them in."It's been a while, Nicholas," It was Mr Quinn."It sure is, uncle," Nicholas answered back politely. Mr Quinn was an influential man."Ah, this must be Ivanna, what a lovely lady she has become." Mr Quinn commented and Ivanna glowed.Ivanna glanced around the room and noticed how filled up it was. She didn't really know what the party was about, but she knew it had something to do with business."Ummm...Uncle, what's this party about?" Ivanna asked.Mr Quinn smiled and glanced around the room. "It's supposed to be a business party, but I guess I've turned it into a welcome ceremony for my third son.""I thought you had just two sons," Nicholas said."That's what most people th
He looked up from downstairs and wondered if Anne was asleep. He climbed it slowly with hesitation, he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable.The stairs appeared longer than usual. His heart, something didn't believe existed, began to race. He was nervous for no reason.As he reached the edge of the stairs, Anne's room entered his view before his room which after before her room. He strides to her door and knocks on it slightly.On the first knock the door opened. He couldn't believe she was actually waiting for him to come to her room.He slipped into the room, the lit candles were glowing. He glanced at the wall clock and it was a few minutes past nine."I thought you were asleep," Dominus said as he strolled to her, "How's your wound?" He noticed she hauled her arms freely.A beaming smile appeared on her face. "It healed. The pain was severe at first, but after the plant you dipped, the pain began lessening. And now, there's no pain."Dominus wasn't believing this. He moved closer
It felt like goodbyeThe name didn't ring any bells so he opened it to see if it was of any use. As he read through it, his eyes broadened. It was a forbidden book.It says Breakers soul could be tangled together with a soul called Ginnak. By this, the person's body will be reborn when the Ginnak soul penetrates the body. By this, the person becomes a living person.Side effects;...He didn't pay attention to the effects. What effect was more disastrous than death?But there was one problem. It needed the consent of the King of hell.That's gonna be hard._____________He passed the burning guards at the gate and made his way to his father's chambers (Vamurus's Father), he needed to get this done. Anne only had a day left to live.As he got near the chambers two guards blocked his way. But he didn't stop as he strode through after turning them into dust. He wasn't here to fiddle.He walked into the chambers and to the bathroom after hearing the sound of water(much rather, lava). His f
"Who's the keeper now?""I don't know. But he/she will be a descendant of my family. But all my family died when I was growing up.""That means one was saved. Can this keeper help?" Michael asked."I doubt. The work of a keeper is to protect the book of Ginnak against any harm, his job is also to protect the Ginnak, be the Ginnak bad or good.""That sucks," Forsyth commented."And most importantly; A Ginnak can't be killed, killing the body will only make it harder to be killed. We just need to tame her. If we can get her in control of herself, then we're safe." Robert said."And if we don't succeed?""We die." Silence filled the space between them. But was broken by Michael."I think I know just whom to tame her?"They all gave him a strange look. "Who?""Dominus, Good Dominus. The blue signal did something to evil Dominus which we aren't sure about, I saw it.""Sweet lord, not again," Forsyth complained under his breath.Alexandra felt on edge as she stood in front of the Priest wi
Robert rolled his eyes. "I presume you realize the Ginnak's book has been read, she will be suffering different types of sensations now."Forsyth tilted his head to look at him, he was trying to contemplate why he was doing all this. Helping Ginnak make her mutation quicker isn't something one would do without earning tons. Then realization hits him. "You're not related to the Ginnak, are you?" His eyes narrowed as he asked. "You aren't afraid of the signals and you seem ancient. Were you the Ginnak's ex?"Robert's jaw ticked. "Ex?""Yeah, stubborn ex trying to win her back by doing something good. Don't tell me you're one of those people?""What gave you such an idea?" Robert asked with disgust."Your attitude-" His sentence couldn't be completed as the door was nudged open by Mildred who appeared to be anxious."She opened the book." She reported to Robert without throwing Forsyth a glance, but the weird look he gave her didn't miss her notice."Wait," Forsyth said. "You know this g
"I wouldn't-not come, Dracule, you know I'm better than that," Dominus said as he entered the room. The house belongs to his old friend, Dracule.Dracule sighs as he sits down. "Can I stop lying to the… other you? That is tiring and exhausting." He grunted. And Dominus laughed softly as he strolled forward to the chair and sat down."You have to. He's too curious and that would keep him away from danger. I'm not always with him, and I'm afraid I might sleep and meet myself in the grave."Dracule gives him a strange look. "Where is it?" He asked. It's rare to meet the real Dominus, he doesn't come out unless in danger. "Did you get the stone?"Dominus rolled his eyes. "Why are you after the stone anyway? I'm not searching for any stone, Dracule, I'm too lazy to." He yawned and relaxed his back on the chair. "I banged her cherry." He said as a sly grin surfaced on his lips, it fascinated him.Dracule's eyes dilated. "You indulge yourself in pleasure? That could spoil your training and p

"I– I don't know what you're talking about,""I can't imagine I'm getting fortuitous by the second." He remarked and snickered.Before Marleen realized it, he grabbed her by the neck and she instantly fell into unconsciousness._________"Mar–leen?" Ava's worried voice exclaimed for Marleen when she saw him on the doppelganger's shoulder."Relax, bestie, she's fine," Dominic said as he lowered Marleen close to a shackled Ava."Why is she here?" She asked. Marleen was still unconscious."How many people know about the Ancients?""Many. Although they don't believe in it since they haven't seen one before. Why?""Just attempting the know the numbers I'm roughly to kill,""Don't! They're innocent, they know nothing.""This girl here didn't seem like that to me. She's different, do you know that?" He asked as he waddled past Ava.He picked a chain and bound Marleen's hands with it. After that, he strides toward a chair and sits on it."I can't believe father let different species run the e
Her mother shuddered a little, her lips were shaking. "I…I did what I was told to, I made sure to wipe everything. I don't know how she remembered.""That only signified you weren't doing your job. Rather than concentrating on the child, you were busy whoring around." His voice wielded irritation, he then stepped slowly towards her mother.Before she knew it, the man grabbed her mother by the neck and mashed her unto a tree. Little Ava saw blood crawling down her mother's neck."W–what are you doing to mother?" Ava questioned the man, who was her supposed grandpa.Alexandra didn't know what was transpiring. She had been in Robert's room, aiding him.Subsequently, she departed his cabin the following day to get water, she spotted Dominic, he was formally clothed. So also Thomas.She ambled toward them and scrutinized them, then she noted they have luggage with them.Were they traveling?"Are you guys going somewhere?" She implored. Her orifices were drifting between the two.Dominic di
Dracule glared at him, "You think I haven't thought of that with your mother? I went insane when she died, it killed me inside. It didn't matter if she was with another man, I just wanted her alive and well.""I won't allow myself to see her with another man, I don't care if she's happy with him, I'd much rather kill her myself. I'm selfish, and I'm not hiding it."As they both stared into the warm night with silence, Dominus wondered what he would do to keep Anne by his side. Nobody owns the power to do that, but his mother was able to preserve souls.Would that work?His mother's book was with him, a very important book. He needed to check if it held any spell to stop a dying person from death.He excused himself from Dracule's house and went to an underground cave. Nobody knows of this, making it the best place to hide the book.He took the book out and glanced at the name on the book cover.'Formation of the Ginnak.'Alexandra felt on edge as she stood in front of the Priest with
"She isn't who you're looking for, she's unknown." He paused for a moment, "She's powerful but that's unknown to her, her nativity and innocence will lead us to our greatest desire." He took a sip from his cup and his eyes switched from brown to dark shades of red." What about Karina?""After we reach our goal she's of no use anymore, there's no use in keeping her with us.""His disappearance was untraceable. It seemed he was helping a larger system," Simon announced. He strode nearer to Dominic and resumed, "All the souls he gathered for Mrs. Hamish were duplicates, unknown to her." He paused his speech, "Hunting him might guide us to our goal, don't you think?"Dominic waited. He thought for an instant, "I think it's time to stop by an old friend." He said, and Simon turned his head. It was dark, so Dominic took a cloak and stepped out of the room.___"The officials aren't performing their duties? What's the use of keeping them?!" An irritated voice yelled. The shivering young man
"Michael? I've heard that name multiple times, probably from sweet Gretel." Robert said with a cocky smile. His wrinkled face made him look scary.Micheal's face darkened while Forsyth chuckled. "I like you already," Forsyth proclaimed hearing the connotation in his sentence."But I don't," Robert told Forsyth."Touché."They turned as they heard running footsteps, Mildred seemed to be running towards them."What's it? Where's Alexandra?" Forsyth asked."She-""Ladies and gentlemen," A man said, interrupting Mildred's words, his voice was loud, "It's time for the main event to begin." Everybody began moving with glasses of wine between their fingers.From the corner of their eyes, they saw Alexandra running while the man, Dominus, was walking slowly behind her as if toying with her.His prey.Grunts were heard as a man tossed restlessly on a mattress. His eyes opened abruptly only to jerk back when he noticed someone on the bed."Graciela?" The man asked with a sleepy tone. He couldn'
Reddish-gold eyes tilted his head and glanced at Dominus. "I wasn't asking for a fucking permission."Dominus sighed. "You and your foul mouth.""But the ladies love it." He grinned."You've only ever seen one lady until now." Dominus taunted. But the reddish-gold eyes only shrugged."That's why she's mine to kill.""You can't kill her,""Oh, I created her. So yes I can.""Why?"Silence filled the space between them."Don't you think it's time for you to go?""No. I'm doing what you told me to. To protect the Ginnak.""You wouldn't want to defy me, Green eyes.""I'm sorry." Dominus bowed his head at him and disappeared.Reddish-gold eyes Dominus fisted his fingers as annoyance lingered in his eyes.He needs to get the Ginnak before his mother gets her. Having to fight his clone and mother sounded exhausting and he was the lazy type.But her minors were everywhere in the Mansion. He was suddenly grateful she was injured. It would be a lot harder if she was fine.Now he needs to use the
"N-Nothing-g..." Her voice trembles from fear. The girl before her was all blue, icy blue like how Leah's face had been, but the difference was that Leah was unconscious while the girl before her wasn't."Alexandra..." Her name came out as a soft echo from her mouth, it wasn't supposed to sound scary but it did."Y-you know me?" Alexandra pointed at herself with her slightly trembling forefinger, partly from the cold."Who wouldn't?" The hostility in her voice made Alexandra gulp."But I don't know you...""Of course, you wouldn't," The girl cuts her off, "People like us are peasants compared to you." The girl said and slowly moved towards her, to which Alexandra responded by moving backward, slowly."You are the reason many of us have to suffer!" Alexandra knew the girl was becoming angrier since the cold in the room began intensifying. Before she realized it, the girl forced her hand towards her, and her heart ceased beating for a second."Stop Right There,"5"---h it does look like
She dabbed her hands dry and ambled to the basement. It was slightly dark but manageable. As she picked up the pans and spun to depart, an agony moan halted her. It was coming from the side of the basement. She strolled nearer to the noise and came upon Alexandra. She lay on the ground folded. Her hand was tight around her head, she appeared to be in distress."Alexandra," She carefully hoisted her, "What's wrong?" She didn't need to know what was wrong because her eyes said it all. But the red glint in her eyes changed back to normal. Her pained expression changed like she was never in pain."I'm fine," Lexi said and rubbed her body. "Excuse me." She was behaving skeptically. But Mildred shrugged it off. She already knew what was wrong. She just hope things remained how there were after tomorrow.___________At the Temple of priests.Dominus closed his eyes as he rested his back on the side of a tree. The leaves were moving in different trends. Despite his calm expression, he was con
