Hazel thought about her dead lover who sacrificed his life in order to save hers and she will never get over the fact that he was killed by Vampires but she didn’t because of that, tap into the black magic to bring him back to life. Though, she wished that one day, she would get to see and talk to him at least, even if it was just for a short time.There was silence between the both of them as they stared into each other eyes. Hazel then held her head high and said to him, “Your words don’t move me.”“I don’t expect it to either because you have always been this way.” Hazel felt his words prick her on the skin but she waved it off.“Didn’t you say one of your own was in danger?” Hazel raised a brow at him, deciding to change the topic.“Amber Willow, she was here,” Mr. Evans said.“I never said she wasn’t,” Hazel rolled her eyes. “Then why are you still standing there? Aren’t you going to save her?”“Actually, I came here for something different,” Mr. Evans said and brought out a book
“Cowards die many times before their deaths;The Valiant never taste of death but once,Of all the wonders that I have yet have heard,It seems to me most strange that men should fear;Seeing that death, a necessary end,Will come when it will come.”--Shakespeare, Julius Caesar_In her deep sleep, Amber saw herself in an unknown place in the middle of the night where darkness filled the sky. She felt exhausted as if she had been running for a long time and her right hand seems to be heavy as if she were carrying something heavy in it. She looked down on her hand and just immediately, the sky rumbled and lightning struck, making a deafening sound. She saw a bloody sword in her hand and she immediately threw it to the ground. When the lightning struck again, she saw that she was surrounded by bodies that lay on the cold floor and suddenly, she heard a sharp cry behind her. Turning around swiftly, she heard a thud on the ground and she bent down slowly. She saw a figure of someone and h
There was confusion in the eyes of the lackeys as they look at each other and then at the boy. The man in black stepped forward. He hung the gun on his shoulder and tilted his head sideways and then, there was a loud laugh in the small room which erupted from him. When the laugh died down, Amber saw the bright face of the man turn into a dark one. “Shakespeare? Really?” the man asked and scoffed. Amber also thought about it. Why would he bring up Shakespeare now when they were in the middle of danger?She leaned closer to his neck and whispered to him with trembling lips, “What are you doing? If you wish to die then don’t drag me along with you. I have a mother who cares and worries about me and I don’t even know how her condition is right now. I lost my father and I am the only one she has. So whatever you are doing, don’t let it endanger me. I just want to return home and forget about this nightmare.”Already feeling impatient, the man roared, “Quiet!” and Amber shook with fear. T
Amber ran in the dark to wherever her legs took her without stopping. She didn’t know the exact place she was going and she bruised herself when her body grazed on the bark of the trees but that didn’t stop her from running. Her foot suddenly hit the root of a tree and she stumbled on the forest ground before rolling down the sloppy land. Amber groaned in pain and raised her head before trying to stand up with the support of her hands but she suddenly let out a sharp cry when she felt pains in her body. She rolled on her side such that her head was now facing up and she breathed heavily. Just then, sobs escaped from her mouth and hot tears rolled down the corners of her eyes.She thought about everything. How did her life suddenly become this way? Why does it have to be her? She was with her best friend where they were walking into shops and they looked happy, then she was in the company of a witch, then she found herself being kidnapped by some men, then the boy, the gunshot, the fi
“We know what we are, but not what we may be.”--Shakespeare _Amber saw the man walk up to her through her teary eyes and she saw him bend to her level before bringing his hand to her face. He circled his hand around her face and Amber felt disgusted at it. She tried to push her head away but it only ended up in the bald man pulling her hairs and she felt her scalp would peel any seconds. When his thumb finger touched her lips, Amber parted her mouth and bit his finger, pinning her teeth hard on it till she tasted blood and the man yelled before using his other hand to part her jaw and Amber released her teeth from his finger as she felt her jaw ache.“Argh!” the man yelled in pain and stood up, holding his finger. He glared down at Amber angrily and before she knew it, she felt a burning pain on her cheek as the man had slapped her. Her head fell to the ground and she felt a burning headache in her head. “You stupid bitch!” the man cursed and stomped his foot on the ground. “I know
The forest turned silent and only the cries of owls and crickets could be heard. Amber looked down on her hand which held the man’s heart and at the sight of blood, her senses went wild. The smell of blood wafted in her nose and she felt a kind of hunger, a desire to feed, but it was not just any kind of food. It was blood.She resisted the urge and let the heart of the man drop from her hand before dropping on her knees. She buried her face down and held her head as she fought the urge and she felt an ache in her teeth.The boy, who had witnessed what Amber did, slowly raised his body from the ground and walked towards her. He knew how she must have felt to murder someone and also, there was something different about her but he didn’t mind it. On reaching where she was, he carefully looked at her and was about touching her when...“Don’t!” it was more like a warning and she heard herself snarl.The boy withdrew his hand back and instead, just watched her. He felt something not to be
In Woodlock, the closest town to the forest where the killing took place, two policemen dragged the four men; where two were chained together, to their station after taking them to the clinic for treatments. Earlier that morning, not one but two to three people had reported suspicious movements and scary sounds coming directly from the forest and the policemen had gone to the forest to search the place where they found the four men and one dead person whose heart was no longer in place.They took the four men inside and locked them in different cells. When they were about leaving, they met up with two other policemen who asked about what happened and they explained to them.“We found out that they are involved in trading young girls into sex slave. They go around in the night looking for girls to kidnap and then take them into their den. We found their hideout in the forest and the place is half burnt with two dead bodies where one seems to have been shot dead and burnt together with
Bookshop. Witch. The assault. Gunshot. Fire. Forest. The killing. Reflection. Amber opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling. It looked familiar to her. Yes, it was her room.“Amber!” her mother’s voice jerked her up and she moved her eyes to the side to see her mother staring at her.“Why are you lying on the floor like a corpse?” her mother asked and Amber raised her upper body to sit up.She said, “I just had a bad dream and it must have thrown me off.” To Amber, the hallucinations she had always throws her into a dark pit and she doesn’t understand what was happening to her anymore. All the weird things she was seeing, were they really hallucinations? She asked herself but then, it doesn’t look like that to her. The feelings she got from it were real and it was as if some part of her had experienced a dark side and they came back haunting her after a long time. She knew what she had to do. Only one person would know what was happening to her.“Bad dream?” her mother’s voice sna
