IVA throws herself into the warm bed, extra soft it reminded her of home, the smell of dirt was not dominant all though the entire wall was made out of it, it was warm inside, the unusual red burning crystals sealed behind metal bars on the walls produced warmth. Metal beams held the walls of the cave as reinforcement, incase it were to capsize, they dug deep into the walls with thick layers on each floor to endure weight, having the metal beams hold the walls were steps to reinforcements. The cave was cool and she couldn’t help but wonder where the Cave was located in. Right opposite her bed was the octagon shaped window and a door by her left. The lights of the busy city glowing on the window with a bit of damp on the glass from the cold. ‘new life huh? Never seeing the light of day or the stars at night’ She looked up to the ceiling as the thoughts from earlier settled in her skull. “Why were you silent earlier” she blinked, her tattooed arm spread across the bed, her hair was wrap
IVA glared at him and he held her gaze. She couldn’t see it, that innocence, all she saw was someone that would go to any length to get what he wanted. He still had his hand in her shoulder, she wondered how far he would go if she kept silent. He took his hand out her shoulder and leaned down towards the wound, she moaned in pain as his hot breath came towards it. She protested her body making subtle movements that helped no one. Draco tongue brushed across the surface it made her shudder. “Should I go for this instead?” his voice enclosed as he moved away. His hand focused on her right eye and she shut it immediately. “lam- la- lamp”. She tried and the Werewolf took his eyes to stare at the desk. The coin-like metal laid on the wooden desk beside them. His eyes gaped at it and in the instant, like waking up from a sleep paralysis, Iva sank her teeth into his arm giving it all she got. He pushed her head back but she wouldn’t stop biting till he bleed. An eye for an eye, he slammed his
“THE Community building?” Iva whispered, It was the symbol she had copied off the tapestry back when they found Fab. The tapestries represented the four parts of the Court and the songs were a telltale of the power division, her father had sang the exact same thing in a tale she couldn’t quite remember, It was a song every Court member knew, her father had once being to the Court so she assumed he had learnt it there. The curious eyes of the two staring at her in awe made her embarrassed to reveal. Pinching her pinna she smiled. “My dad sang it for me sometime ago, he has been to the Court before… Lake Riegel?” She took her eye up at the Guereza, He looked long in years and she wondered If he had any knowledge of her father. “Never heard of him” the monkey set the hot bowls down while sending a anvil of disappointment over her hopes and She plunked down on the pillow Sede had set.“How long did your dad stay in the Court?” Sede stared at his bowl curiously, there were varied ingredie
‘IVA…’ Uhki tried as she stared captivated by the sight. Sede took his colorless eyes to view the frame, he sat cross legged in their midst, completely unaware of what was going on. The Detective clenched her fist, It was a little island picture with an old note attached to it, the sides of the note were burnt and the stain of old blood sprayed across the letters. She gaped at it, she couldn’t take her eyes off the frame as she read the scribbled words in black soot. “It used to be beautiful?” She called out the words and looked to the monkey, “That is a word of a man that had been deceived”. He informed her and it only made her confused on what he was talking about. She grabbed at her pounding heart as it became difficult to breathe. She didn’t want to agree with her thoughts, The Guereza was probably trying to get her. She was so much bothered by the blood stained notes, she staggered back on her heel. “This note…” she started as she swallowed hard, “Back when I worked with the East
IVA placed her Jacket over Sede as he curled by some files. She looked at his face, fast asleep and his humanoid ear occasionally twitched at the sound of their voices. “There is I’m afraid not much about him, I’ll have you what I know from my time in the East”. She looked around the floor as the Guereza began organizing the files back into an old carton. “Not even one?” She asked, It wasn't like the man was a ghost. It wasn’t of much help identifying them in the files as many of them had lost the little passport photo attached to it. As he organized the file, a file came falling and she studied it as much as she could. It had a pale looking girl on it, her file was stamped across in red bold letters. ‘Confiscated'. Her entire face was as though she cried out for help. Iva looked down to figure out if she was amongst those submitting their rule. The detective furrowed her brows at the realization of her caste, 'did Vampires also submit rule?’. ‘Her name: Chapa Nala Alston, Age :104, D
A loud shriek echoed through the infirmary, was a weird awakening but the doc expected her recovery much sooner. He hastened through the hallway, his coat moving at his wake in such manly and heroic temperament. His hand dribbled with every swing, his recently brewed cappuccino. The endless mess kept the second runner hoping some feet behind, he was not any but desirous to smudge his favorite white pants. They closed in on the room the outcry had stemmed from. Reaching the door first, Levi, our doc marches in to see Iva-Lois kicking off her bed, she looked to the new comers. Her eyes between them, she remembered her gargoyle friend, Loye.“What happened? Did… Did I kill someone?”. Iva squealed frantically, her pitch much maintained and bothering but Levi ignored it, he busied himself with a board at her desk, which would be her health report. “Welcome to the Land of the living” Loye grinned spreading his arms before sending a hard jab at Levi’s side but he didn’t quit writing. “What
LEVI cleared the mythic at her bed and moved towards her. Studying her eyes for a long minute he frowned. “Which nurse gave you the drug?” He looked towards Sheer at her delayed response and the girl startled. “I – uh… I think she was new”. A feel of trepid tool over the room in the instant. Iva turned to them, “I’m I going to die?” she had a worried look but she wouldn’t stop smiling. Levi grabbed the bottle and sniffed it, his eye lit up at Eoyl who instantly grabbed the bottle. With a sniff, he looked at them, “This is dragon stone powder”. Took a lot to notice the smell, it couldn’t be recognized by a human or a weak mage and that’s when it functions best effective. In Court’s history, the reptilian during the war against the bird mythic, flooded the waters of their enemy with dragon stone powder, it led to the death of numerous exhausted flying soldiers and the victory of the then dragon king. Sheer moved to the other side of the bed and had Iva lay down, “Elvy get me some acupunc
Fear overtook her at the sight of the unearthly creature, cheeks hollow and eyes dim. The face of the creature was pale with sharp fangs jutting from it’s mouth, the few strands of hair that stood on its skull moved as though they were in water, the strands where thick and strong like a thin wire. It’s eyes were dark with a little yellow circling a tiny pupil. The limbs long and thin and its claws as strong as bones pierced Iva’s jaw. Iva froze as a pang ran by her brain, it was something pulled out of the nightmare of seven year old Iva, something long buried and never to resurface. She shrieked as her hand grabbed the bones strong claw and her feet backed up for balance. 'I ought to rip your head off you good for nothing!’ the voice came through her with a lot trembling that weakened the detective. ‘Dejavu’ a weird sense that this had occurred before hit her. She needed to get out of there, she forced the fingers away from her face, pushing with every strength she could moister but
