Thanks but no thanks My eyes sailed quickly around when I heard crackles and footsteps from not far away, where I was. Lush trees and thick grasses surround me where a creature is hiding. I became alert and my system seemed to be in fight mode immediately for what could happen.I slowly step forward while scanning the surroundings because I knew in the dark there might be a hidden werewolf that for me is an enemy even in physical form, werewolves are just like me.I positioned myself as the crackle from the lush grass grew louder. I know that creature is coming and I have to be ready. I backed away when three large wild pigs came out of the lush grass ready to rush to have me as their dinner but I would not allow them to do that because I was not born just to be eaten by any creature.I conditioned myself to change form. I wouldn’t be able to match them if I only h
Second timeI was greeted by many vampires scattered in the area where Volter live. They are all staring at me with fear in their eyes. None of them wanted to come near. Am I so intimidating that even if I just pass by, fear will show on their faces?Since the death of my identified vampire parents, I no longer stayed in this place because I felt it was too crowded for Volter and me.“Miss Syrie, Chief Volter has been waiting for you for a while,” the woman stationed at the entrance of the house greeted me. I just nodded and followed her.The door of the room opened where there is Volter. He is sitting on the swivel chair while his legs are crossed and facing me with a smile.“Welcome to our house, Syrie!” he said. My forehead furrowed.This is not what I expected him to open up to me. I examined his face but it was blank as if he&rsqu
Syria’s planVernon and Trina threw a lot of questions at me when I got home last night while Persuz was just quiet from the corner.But who wouldn’t care and be intrigued to ask if you came home wearing a man’s clothes and no underwear other than a jacket?“You seem to be thinking deeply, ah?” My mind seemed to get relax immediately. I turned to Trina who was wondering.“Oh? I thought you left with them, Vernon?” I asked.“I didn’t,” he said. “For sure they will hunt wild animals again and I prefer to wait for fresh blood.”From the race of vampires where I grew up, there are only a few of them who do not drink human blood and Trina is one of them. That’s one reason why I don’t want to go back to Volter.I can’t bear to see how they kill innocent pe
Marcus"How's the plan, Syrie? Did it work?" Trina and Vernon's questions were bombarding me when I got home.I went straight to the sofa and looked at them seriously. "It looks like the plan is working," she said, giving them confirmation. "But I don’t know how far this plan will go," I added."How come? How did you say that?" Vernon asked.I took a deep breath before I answered his question. "We all know that he's not just a werewolf and he's not that idiot that we can fool.""Then you should act normal," Trina suggests.Vernon nodded and agreed with Trina. "Besides, the way that wolf looks at you, it seems like he wants you, right?" She added with a hint of teasin
Kiss"HUH? SO, you did that, Syrie?" Vernon was shocked when he found out what had happened in my confrontation with Volter.I nodded. "I don't know why I believed Marcus in the first place.""But why do those werewolves want to kill you if they're already under the authority of Volter?" Trina asked.I looked seriously at Trina as well as Vernon. "What do you mean?""I’m just confused, Syrie." She paused for a moment. "If Marcus was lying, why did he kill those wolves from his race? Also, this is not the first time Volter's disciples have tried to kill you. If it wasn't Volter, maybe someone else was behind it," Trina explained, as she tried to connect the past incidents.I was speechless a
I'll Try"What are you doing here, Volter?" I was shocked when Volter suddenly appeared from nowhere."I'm just here to visit your place, Syrie. If you're comfortable here or maybe you want another place to live," he replied. I frown at him.Volter looked at every corner of the house. "I don't need a new place, Volter. I'm already comfortable living here." I objected to what he said.Volter shrugged. He said, "I respect you if that's what you want, but remember you're still welcome in the mansion when you change your mind," and sat down on the sofa with his arms leaned on.I sat close to him, staring at his serious face.I know that's not the only purp
THE NEXT morning, I got ready to go hunting in the forest. I can't remember when was the last time I hunted. I miss hunting wild animals and killing them. It's also one of the ways I practice and also it gives satisfaction to me."Where are you going, Syrie?" Trina asked when she came out of her room.I adjusted the leather jacket I was wearing. “In the forest, to go hunting,” I simply answered. “It’s also been a long time since I’ve been able to use my ability to catch wild animals,” I added."Are you with, Marcus?"I was silent for a moment and then shook my head. "No, I'll go by myself. I'm leaving, Trina," I told her.
I rudely entered the entrance of the mansion, many eyes were on me, some not happy to see me there. That is not new for me. Some were pushed back as I passed them and I saw the fear on their faces.They didn't scare me because any of them who do something I don’t like, I will hit them.When I got into that big house, I looked around and there were some vampires there and there were also wolves that had finally joined Volter. In some way, that would help Volter's plan to use the wolf race against its race.I feel excitement and longing when I feel again the embrace of this home, the memories I have formed with the family I recognize. The laughs and the joy that until now, are in my heart that only remind me of them whenever I miss them.Honestly, I miss this home, but I know it would be better for me to distance myself from Volter to avoid a misunderstanding."What a s
