TETHERED EPISODE 35
RALPH Keilah's sudden movement caught me off guard, my heart pounding with confusion. I instinctively moved to intercept her, my every fibre urging me to shield her, but she held up a hand, halting me in my tracks. Surprisingly, I did so. "Ralph," she said, her voice surprisingly calm amidst the chaos surrounding us. "I need to talk to him."Her words sent a shiver down my spine, a sense of foreboding settling over me like a heavy blanket. But before I could voice my protest, she stepped forward, her gaze unwaveringly fixed on Damien."Damien," she began, her voice resonating with a quiet authority that demanded attention. "I understand your pain. I know you've suffered unimaginable loss. But seeking revenge will not bring your wife back. It will only perpetuate the cycle of pain and suffering."Damien's expression softened slightly at her words, a fleeting moment of uncertainty crossing his features. But it was swiftly replaced by a steely resolve, his jaw tightening with determin
TETHERED EPISODE 36
KEILAH I observed Ralph's handsome face intently, waiting with patience as he wrestled with the words, his reluctance palpable in the furrow of his brow. As he struggled to find the words, I felt the urge to reassure him, to let him know that he needn't share if it caused him distress, but curiosity was gnawing at me. I needed to understand the source of his deep-seated aversion towards humans, even if extracting the truth caused him evident anguish. With a heavy sigh, he closed his eyes briefly, gathering the courage to delve into the depths of his pain, to expose the raw wound that had festered within him for so long."My hatred for humans..." he started, his voice trembling slightly. "It's rooted in the betrayal I witnessed, the betrayal that shattered my world and tore my heart asunder.""It was my mother," he confessed, and I could feel the bitterness of his words. "She was everything to me, the light in my darkness, the one who showed me love and kindness in a world filled

KEILAHAs my eyes landed on Ralph and Damien standing in the living room, my heart plummeted, and a chill crawled up my spine. The sight of them made my blood feel as though it were draining from my veins, leaving me cold and vulnerable. I instinctively moved closer to my aunt, a protective instinct kicking in, as if they were a threat to her safety.But amidst my shock and fear, a surge of questions flooded my mind. What are they doing at my aunt's house? More importantly, how did the vampire... How did he find out about my aunt? What is he doing here?The vampire's gaze locked onto mine, his eyes glinting with amusement, and I felt something pulling me towards him. It was a magnetic force, unsettling and irresistible, like a moth drawn to a flame. His presence exuded danger, yet there was an undeniable allure that sent shivers down my spine.I swept my gaze over to Ralph, unable to ignore the complex array of emotions playing across his features. Anger simmered just beneath the surf
TETHERED EPISODE 38
KEILAH As I lay on the ground, dazed and hurting, Ralph's presence loomed over me like a dark cloud. I could feel his anger radiating off him in waves, his every breath heavy with fury."Why did you do that?" he growled, his voice low and dangerous. I struggled to form words, the pain and shock overwhelming my senses. But before I could respond, his grip tightened around my neck once again, his fingers digging into my skin like claws."You belong to me," he spat, his words cutting through the silence like a knife. "And you will learn to obey without question."With a final, brutal shove, he released me, sending me sprawling onto the ground once more. Gasping for air, I lay there, trembling with fear and pain."Get back in the car," he commanded in a chillingly even tone, his footsteps retreating towards his car. But as I resigned myself to obeying, a glimmer of hope flickered in the distance. A taxi approached, its yellow beacon of salvation drawing nearer with each passing mome

DAMIEN As her lips crashed against mine, a jolt of surprise shot through me, momentarily stunning my senses. Her desperation was palpable, her kiss frantic and fervent, but it wasn't the taste of her lips that overwhelmed me. It was the sudden rush of warmth, of life, that surged through me, drowning out the hunger that had threatened to consume me.Swiftly, almost instinctively, I pushed her away, breaking the kiss with a forceful shove. As I pulled back, I felt a cold mask settle over my features, my gaze hardening as I met her eyes."Don't ever do that again," I warned, my voice cold and authoritative. "You have no idea what you're playing with.”She recoiled at my sudden change in demeanour, her eyes widening in confusion and perhaps a hint of fear."I-I'm sorry," she stammered, her voice tinged with confusion and embarrassment. "I don't know what came over me. I just... I had to stop you."I shook my head, the memory of her lips against mine still lingering like a phantom touch.
TETHERED EPISODE 1
KEILAH It was a stormy night. And my wedding night with the man I stole from my best friend. The rain poured heavily outside, yet amidst the downpour, I could still hear my friend's screams as she was being gang-raped. She called out my name, desperately seeking help, but I callously ignored her cries. I knew that I was the one behind this sinister plan against her. Satisfaction spread across my face as I realized she would forever be out of my way, allowing me to fully enjoy my marriage. I happily revelled in the night with the man who was once hers.I jolted awake, drenched in sweat. Beside me, my best friend Cora lay snuggled up like a baby. Quietly, I slid out from under the covers and tiptoed out of the bedroom and into the bathroom. Switching on the cold water, I stepped beneath its icy stream. The chill of the water provided relief for my anxiety stemming from the dream I had just experienced.Once I cleaned up, I stepped out of the shower, feeling fresh and much better, and w

I stood frozen in surprise as the door slammed shut, leaving me standing outside the gate with loads of heavy grocery bags in my hands. Confusion washed over me as I tried to make sense of the situation unfolding before me. The worried voices of the women continued to echo through the gate, their urgency growing with each passing second. Curiosity and concern compelled me to knock on the door so that I could give a little explanation about the old woman's situation. A few moments of silence followed, and then the door creaked open, revealing a young, beautiful woman with a fear expression on her face. She glanced at me, her ombre eyes filled with apprehension."Who are you?" She asked, her voice trembling slightly."I'm…I'm the lady who brought your grandmother," I stammered.She hesitated for a moment and was about to hand her the bags, but suddenly, her eyes went wide before slamming the door shut again without a word. I blinked incessantly, wondering what was wrong with them. No
