Chapter 101
I had been lying on Giofré’s soft mattress, tossing and turning as thoughts lingered in my head. The sheets were crumpled underneath me and the pillows were sprawled all over the bed. I couldn’t sleep as the vampire’s face appeared vividly in my head. It was haunting me: those sharp fangs and mischievous smirk. They bothered me.
I pulled myself up, sitting at the edge of the bed with my palm laid on my side. I rubbed a hand on my forehead and bowed my head, letting my hair cascade to my sides. My heart thumped fast and my hands were sweating, though the room was cold enough because of the rain. I didn’t know what to do and I kept on recalling the moment I saw that vampire, alive.
I stood up from the bed and crossed my hands on my chest before approaching the transparent sliding door. The drizzle of the rain spatter

Lucas had been giving an eye to Kevin which received a light nudge from me. He surely could sense something odd about his demeanor, but since we were here to retrieve the weapon I left inside the drawer of the nightstand, we had to look nice and polite. I didn’t want to scare him off, though I had already been observing his every movement: the way he talked, walked, and almost every bit of his action. I could already sense something, perhaps a gut feeling I couldn’t shake off. And I knew what I saw that night, him standing in front of the tall vampire lady, was unlikely. He wasn’t startled or scared. He looked compliant and inferior. I guess it was because he was so little compared to the vampire. He ushered us inside and welcomed me into his apartment again. The same old decorations greeted me as I sheepishly moved further into the apartment until I could glimpse the room. I let Lucas stand near the fron

I was filled with anticipation as I studied the devastated look on their faces. Wendy’s forehead started to form some wrinkles and Weston’s eyes were cloaked with worry. They didn’t budge for a few minutes, hesitating to blurt out what they had been suffering from. They told me I was just in time and they needed my help, but I guess Lucas’s presence made them quite hesitant. I flicked my eyes to my side where Lucas stood, arms crossed above his chests as he stared out the window. He wasn’t paying attention to the dwarves, instead, he was checking the weather for a distraction. When Wendy let out a sigh out of exhaustion, she finally spoke. “It’s about the gemstone, Portia,” she told us with a wary look on her face. “What about the gemstone? Was it stolen again?” I worriedly replied and clasped my hands toge

I crouched beside Weston’s quivering body, eagerly making him stop as Wendy stared at me with wide eyes. As she held the side of his face, the blood running from Weston’s mouth stained her hand, but she didn’t seem to mind. Instead, she tapped his cheek in the hopes of getting back his consciousness. It didn’t work and he just laid flat on the ground, every inch of his body moving, and his eyes didn’t dare to blink. They just displayed darkness—as dark as a marble. I flitted my eyes at Lucas and said, “Help us lift him.” He nodded in compliance before he crouched beside Weston’s body, sliding his arms under him and effortlessly lifted him from the ground. Wendy arranged the bed, put some pillows out of the way, as Lucas laid him on the mattress. “What shoul

No, no-no-no. Silence rang in my ears as I watched Giofré’s body stumble on the ground. As it unfolded in front of me—the dreadful moment that had traumatized me since the day my parents died—the same amount of pain came flooding back. There was a sudden tightness in my chest, making me gasp, as my throat constricted as if suppressing the whimper that dared to escape my mouth. It was then I realized that tears had already cascaded down my cheeks like how the rain would trickle on my face. “Giofré,” I mumbled, bottom lips quivering in utter shock. I threw myself helplessly on the mudded ground, defeated, my mind blanked out. There was an unexplainable feeling in my chest—perhaps the grief, the pain, the anger—I couldn’t lash out from. All of those overwhelming emotions boiled inside of me and as muc

We pulled up in front of Giofré’s house, almost forgetting that the car we used was stolen from a vampire who tried to lure us in his apartment. I was in a haze, lost deep into my thoughts, as I gazed outside of the car window and watched the specks of raindrops fall on the surface. It had been the perfect depiction of the tears cascading down my cheeks as I recalled Giofré’s lifeless body falling on the ground. Somehow, the noise of the thunderstorm suddenly subsided in my head, replaced by the voices ringing in my ears. That what if these were all just a nightmare? What if I would woke up the next day and realize that what happened wasn’t my reality? What if Giofré wasn’t dead and this was all just a deceitful occurrence? All of those questions lingered in my head and was quickly pulled out of my haze when I felt a nudge on my side. Turning to look at Agatha beside me, concern filled his eyes as she tugged her lips to faint smile.

The next morning, after we all rested after the exhausting day we just had, we went to the dwarves to ask them for some help. Though I knew it wasn’t a great idea to be asking more for their help after I broke the gemstone and had the audacity to return it to them, I was starting to feel desperate, especially after what happened to Giofré. The dwarves might appear vulnerable and gullible, their knowledge was what made them strong and we needed that, at this point. I think being strong at moments like this wasn’t enough because we needed to also be mindful and smart. And my knowing nothing about almost everything would lead me to another bad decision and another misfortune. We were inside the car with me driving down the road and Agatha seated on my side. Lucas was in the backseat, looking out the window and seemingly lost in his thoughts as I would casually glance at him through the rearview mirror. Since the radio was turned off and there wasn’t any music bla

We’d stuffed the trunk with the weapons the dwarves gave us, with the three knives tucked somewhere beneath our clothes just in case something unwanted happen. We were quite grateful for what the dwarves had done to us—it was more than what we anticipated. Alongside those weapons, Wendy secretly handed me a bottle of potion which I tucked inside the pocket of my coat. It was quite delicate, and I wasn’t sure if the glass was strong enough to handle so much force, but I was keeping my fingers cross that it wouldn’t break. After we’d left the village which seemed like an hour ago, I decided to drive us to the mountain of witches to, again, ask for another help. Out of desperation, grief, and fleeting anxiety, I was willing to do whatever it took to bring peace to not just the werewolves, but to everyone. I was also clinging to the hopes of getting Giofré back, despite what the dwarves told me—they stated that it was impossible. My aunt was my only chance to make

“We’ve been in the dwarves’ village to find some answers. They told us that only the witches have the ability to resurrect a dead body. But since the nature wouldn’t allow this loophole to maintain the balance, it was near to impossible to find a grimoire containing a complex magic,” I told Aunt Odessa but she shook her head as if disagreeing from what I said. “There’s, indeed, a grimoire containing the spell that could resurrect any creatures.” She pulled away from me, her hands falling to her side as she started pacing back and forth. I glanced at Lucas and Agatha and noticed that they were already shivering from the cold atmosphere, but they chose to stay in my vicinity to watch me intently as I talked to my aunt. Agatha mumbled something under her breath, mouthing what now to me. “You’ve seen the grimoire?” I asked, raising my brows and casually glancing
