All Chapters of The Vampire Chronicles : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

AndroThe hem of a skirt was the first thing I saw. She was moving, no, she was running and this time, I could see her face properly. She was crying. She suddenly stopped when it started raining to get cover and before long, the dream had changed, she was moving again. Walking so slow it could affect the night. She entered a night store and got some beer before walking out of the door. The next thing I saw was her sitting on the edge of the bridge, resting her back against its railing, looking up to the sky as a lone tear dropped from her eyes.  The sudden interruption of my phone’s ringing tone woke me up unexpectedly. I sat up and looked around me as confusion set in. I soon realized I was still in my office, waiting for some of my boys to get back with the details of the job I sent them.  I’ve always dreamed about this particular girl but not for once had I seen her face, this is the first tim

AndroI was in the middle of a meeting with another Mafia boss in my home office when I smelt blood. I would've stood up to check whatever it was but I knew it'll be a sign of disrespect to the man I was having that meeting with.  "The Anglos will gain nothing if they decide to tamper with my family. I won't hesitate to kill them," Igor yelled at no one in particular.  In this town, three mafia families rule. Two are like kings while the third family is trying hard to compete with the first two and if possible, clear them out so they can take the throne.  I've been friends with Igor for years. It's better to make your enemy a friend so you can also monitor his moves. But since the Dimitri Family got into the system, that phrase has appeared difficult.  Igor and I are the first two Mafia lords while Dimitri Anglo is the young, naive, and stupid Mafia who won

AnnikaI threw the box to the floor as panic washed over me. I sprang up from the bed and walked quickly into the bathroom. As soon as I got to the sink, I opened the faucet and began rinsing my mouth.  Dipping my finger into my throat to vomit the poison I just drank wasn't worth it. I kept on groaning for minutes, hoping it'll come out but still, it didn't. What have I done? I asked myself. "You need to stop hurting yourself?" Andro pulled my hand before I could push my finger down my throat again."Stop," I yanked my hand away from his loose grip. He didn't hesitate before he grabbed my hand again in a tight grip this time and angrily pulled me towards the room and made me sit on the bed. The shirt I was putting on was drenched with water. I could care less about that. My fingers were shaking, my legs won't stop tapping against the

AnnikaMy senses regained, thirst satisfied, I removed my hand from Andro's neck and my lips from his. I also removed my body from him and moved further away on the bed.  I was panting.  Andro hadn't moved from the spot, his knees on the bed and his hands beside him. He was recovering from the shock as much as I was. "I'm sorry I did that," he smirked. "I'm glad you did," I raised my eyebrow at his response, hoping he'll explain further but he didn't. He came closer to me and placed his open palm in front of me."Do you want more?" He asked and I nodded. "Help yourself out then, Malyshl"  "Won't it affect your health?" "That's very considerate of you, Annika but no, it won't. It's just for today" he replied. I took a hold of his large palm and placed my lips on his blood. As the blood met

AnnikaI joined Caroline in the kitchen several minutes after Andro left the room. I'd stayed behind to watch a rerun of the first episode of a Korean series; City Hunter.  After I was done with that episode, I took a bath and went downstairs. Caroline was also just rounding up in the kitchen.  "Do you need me to do anything else?" I asked as I finished rinsing the last cup of tea. I volunteered to help her clean up the kitchen as soon as I got here. Even though she disagreed at first, I had to be very persuasive to get her to agree. "No dear, that is enough. Let's move to the living room" She passed me the napkin to clean the water off my hand. I followed her out of the kitchen once I was done. We walked into the living area and sat on one of the sofas. The television was on and Maleficent was showing. She reduced the volume of the movie and stared at me.&nb
