Chapter 9ADRIA’S POV~flashback~ I was in the classroom, staring into blank space, and lost in thoughts of the weird things I have discovered lately. I exhaled lightly, and placed my head on the table, thinking hard of what to do to ensure I stay alive, and fight for myself.It was best to expect him to strike, especially since he has seen I’m quite obstinate, and can’t seem to give him trust, he would probably want to attack so the burden of me knowing his truth, would be off his shoulder, and he wouldn’t have to over worry anymore.“Adria.” The class governor called my attention, and snapped me out of my thoughts.“Yes?” I responded, and turned to look at him.“Professor Lucien asked to see you. He also said you should gather everyone’s assignment, and submit to him.” He informed me, then left.I got worked up, and my heart felt unstable as it kept beating almost out of pace. Just imagining myself in his office felt like dread had seeped into my skin. His eyes could almost bore hol
Chapter 10 ADRIA’S POV Days passed gradually, and things seemed a bit normal as Lucien didn’t try so hard to reach out to me like he did when I just found out about his werewolf secret. I felt a bit better, though, but still, I felt weird that he didn’t bother talking to me or reaching out to me like he had always tried to. Ladies had been tripping for him, and it seemed like they all knew that we weren’t as close as before, so they were trying to close up the gap and vacant space I left, by filling themselves in. I got to class earlier than usual, and to my surprise, Lucien was in the class, but a female course mate was also there. Lucien was teaching her a few things and I could tell that it wasn’t really what she wanted. She had only planned it that way to get closer to him. She was definitely making a pass at him which was annoying. I had been noticing different girls trying their luck at him, and it was so disgusting to think about. Worse was that I didn’t like the feeling I
Chapter 11 ADRIA’S POV My eyes fluttered open after so many tries, and I was glad that I was finally able to open my eyes, and best of all, I had regained my consciousness. But then, as my eyes opened to behold where I was, I noticed I wasn’t home. In fact, I was in the woods, and lying on brown, dried leaves which made rustling sounds as the wind blew around. It was daylight here, and it seemed peaceful. Am I dead? Is this the abode of people who die? So many questions ran through my mind as I looked around. Then I managed to stand, and thankfully, I was able to. I looked around, and there was nothing like seeing a house from afar. It felt as if this was an endless journey. “Hello? Somebody? Anybody?” I called out to anyone who could possibly be here as well, but the only response I got was an echo. I sighed, and began to hear a whooshing sound. I decided to follow the sound as I felt it could have answers to my questions, or I could meet a human who understood what was going o
Chapter 12 ADRIA’S POV I felt really scared to the bones and could hardly move another step forward. I was unsure of what creatures resided here, and what they could do to me if I wasn’t careful. It was like living my nightmares, and no one could convince me that it wasn’t real. Although, it was as real as anything, which I could obviously feel, see, and hear. “Who…who is there?” I managed to speak up. But no one answered. I licked my lips, then ran my hand through my hair, nervously. I moistened my lips even as I was shaking in fear but I didn’t want to show how much of a coward I was. I felt fresh air caress my head and skin, and I couldn’t deny the fact that I loved it, but I hoped that the voice I had heard was just in my head. I continued on my path, watching everywhere with sharp eyes, and ready to throw my fists in the air and even throw some hard kicks if I find anything weird coming at me. The ghoulish sound of the wind kept me on my toes, each time, because it always fe
Chapter 13 ADRIA’S POV I gulped down my saliva in discomfort. I wasn’t really given any information about them, so I didn’t know what to expect from them, and if there ever was recorded in history that they could get angry to an extent of sucking whoever came here, blood. “I guess I’m just to rely on my instincts.” I thought to myself. “What’s your name?” One of them asked, flatly. “I’m Adria.” “I see. You are here to fulfil a task just so you can wake up.” Another said, looking at me like she was suspecting something. Although, I could sense that these women were looking at me like they could see what I couldn’t. I just wanted to be done here and leave this weird place. “Yes.” I responded calmly. “Alright, I am Veronica.” The first vampire introduced herself with a flat expression. “I am Valerie.” The second introduced herself as well. “And I am Victoria.” The third one said “So, what do I need to do now?” I asked desperately after a brief silence. “You have to complete
Chapter 14 LUCIEN’S POV For days now, classes have been going on, and Adria hadn’t attended class. I didn’t want to go to her house at it could seem somehow and suspicious to her mother. So, I decided to ask her friends who had been coming to class without her, for a while now. “Hello, Stacy.” I greeted her closest female friend who sat alone, doing a few things. When she saw me, her expression changed as her face brightened up. Well, let’s hope this charm, helps. “Good day, Professor.” She responded, with a smile on her face. “I haven’t noticed your friend coming for classes for a while now, is there anything wrong?” I asked, inquisitively. “Oh! Adria. Adria fell sick, and has not woken up for the past few days.” She replied me with a sad expression. “What! Haven’t they taken her to the hospital?” I questioned, out of concern. “No, her mother said she knows what’s going on, and then she’ll wake up as the medicine would work.” Stacy informed me. “And how has the progress been
Chapter 15 ADRIA’S POV Suddenly, I met myself on a vast ground, and everything turned dark “Oh, no. This is not what I signed up for.” I said, under my breath. I looked around and noticed the trickster, looking bigger in size, and coming towards me. This was something I didn’t expect, and worse was that he was looking scarier. “So, you were also bold enough to try to take out of my blood?” His voice echoed, and sounded scary as he made big strides towards me. “I had to… I need to wake up in my world. I can’t just leave like that.” I replied, at the top of my voice. “That’s none of my concern. I have no wish to give you my blood. If you want to take it, come try. I guess you’re going to regret having to try this, because you might end up dying here.” The trickster said as he dashed towards me. Fear gripped me but thankfully, it didn’t get a hold of my legs as I dodged the trickster, and ran as fast as I could, even if it wasn’t as fast as I wanted, because at this rate, it look
Chapter 16 ADRIA’S POV I looked at the knife in my hand, and wondered how I was going to kill someone. It was going to be hard for me as I had never done anything like this. “Adria.” I heard a soft voice call out my name, and the breeze caressed my back. I gasped in shock and looked around as swift as I could. I licked my lips in fear and widened my eyes to be at alert to catch a glimpse of any move of my opponent. “Who are you? And why do you keep calling my name?” I questioned as I looked left and right, and then back and front. Then I heard a laughter that seemed like it was sounding faraway. “Do you really intend to kill me? I didn’t decide to kill you when you got here, but you have the guts to come at me first. Can you really handle me? Can you get my blood!” The voice blurted out curtly. “I…I don’t want to. I really don’t want to, but how do I do it? My time is running out, and if I fail this task, I may never be able to make it out of here alive. I do not even know wher
