I sat back on the couch with a glass of alcohol in my hand. It had been two days since Hope told me to turn her into a vampire. I couldn't do such a thing for many reasons. One of which her soul would be sold to the king of hell. He was waiting for me to return. I knew it. And I knew I would someday because I was already destined for hell. The only thing I could do now was ensure I delayed a lot before returning there.
I sipped from the glass and stared at the television that was just brought in. Our whole lives, we had never sat back to watch tv - except when I watched a program at Hope's house - or possessed one. So, I didn't need much guessing to know that my mother was behind this. I felt like she was brainwashing Solomon because she knew he would do anything she asked of him.
She was using him, and he would not listen if I told
***Philomena and Solomon sat together, laughing as they looked at his phone. I had come downstairs because of their noise. I was trying to have some sleep, but my super-hearing kept on sweeping their laughter into my head. I stood behind them noiselessly. I was angry when I found out that they were watching cat videos."You two can bring the stars down with your laughter," I announced from behind them."Sorry, Desmond," Philomena apologized. "Solomon was just showing me some hilarious videos."She brought the phone to my face. I bent backwards and squinted."Here, watch," she said, smiling.
"You never cease to amaze me, Desmond," Solomon said as we got home.My head spun from the alcohol, and the fast trip back home didn't help matters. I had finally caught up with Oliver, and he had paid the price for thinking he could play me. I had ripped his heart from his chest and watched his body turn white. His cup had filled up, and he had paid."I do the things that I do for a living, brother," I said.Solomon chuckled."You are one drunk bastard," he said."I am not drunk," I pointed out.We stepped on the porch, and Solomon moved ahead of me to open the door. He got in, and I moved in afte
***Hope's closet was more crampy than I had expected because the clothes stacked in there were plenty. If I were still human, I probably would have suffocated by now. Her room was quiet as she lay still on her bed with the lights out. I was in her closet for about an hour now, and the vampire still didn't arrive.I got bored and got out of the closet. She sighed and popped out her sheets. She had a disappointed look on her face that came with a smirk. Though she was ill, she was still so beautiful."This isn't going to work," she pointed out."Patience, darling," I said."We have been patient for over an hour now," she reminded. "And nobo
"How many years has it been?" Mathias' voice asked through the phone. "Seven hundred?"I chuckled slowly and set the glass down on the table. I didn't know what Mathias wanted, but I was definitely sure I wasn't going to let him have it. He was coming for revenge, and I knew I knew. And I was ready for him."More than," I replied."Ah," he commented through the phone."What do you want, Mathias?" I asked, getting impatient."To end you, of course," he replied quickly.I rolled my eyes, completely disinterested. He didn't know how many people I had wronged in the past and how many wanted my head on
I laid back with Hope in bed, staying all night. I was afraid to leave in case any vampire came again. I had left the war that was being fought at my house to stay at home. She was worth more than that mansion to me. Her safety was my priority. I didn't know what I could do to myself if she ever got hurt because of me. She was so precious to me.I cuddled her as she slept peacefully. I knew she was glad that I had stayed, and I realized this from the way she wrapped her hands around me to sleep. She held me tight like she never wanted to let go. I didn't want to let go, either. The love I had for her was like a raging fire burning in the insides of me. It seemed unquenchable, and I loved it just that way. My love for her was everlasting.I sighed and stared at the ceiling, too scared to sleep. The war should have been over by now, an
***We stood at the cemetery dressed in all black as Emily's coffin was sunk into the ground. Emily didn't deserve this. She was so kind and charming. Her revenge must be served well. She didn't do anybody harm and deserved to live longer. I clenched my jaws and turned to Solomon.Solomon's face was as still as ice. There were no emotions displayed, only a tear on his right cheek. His hands were clasped before him, and I knew he was burning with anger. He was going to tear Mathias into pieces. Solomon was unstoppable when he was this mad.Jocelyn, Zion, Enoch Philomena, and Hope all stood behind us throughout the burial. The whole gang was here for him, and we would make Mathias pay brutally. When the grave hit the ground, Solomon turned away and walked off. I wa
I leaned back on the Audi while the snow fell on me heavily. I was waiting for Hope to come out to head to school together. We were resuming today, and I wanted to show her off in school. Though everybody would be surprised to see us together, considering that half of the school knew we were enemies the last time we had been in school.I didn't mind them talking about us. I knew they would certainly have their own opinion on seeing us together. Hope would probably be fazed by it, but I would welcome it. I didn't mind what they would say because, in the end, they were petty humans and were too feeble.The door opened, and Hope came out, shutting it behind her. She wore an oversized black hoodie with a purple beanie. Her school bag was strapped to her shoulders, and she wore a pair of white sneakers. She walked down the porch and hande
LIVERPOOL, 1465.I sat with my hands on the table, a glass of alcohol being whirled in one of my hands. I was staring at this lady throughout the party, and it seemed I couldn't get my mind off her. Our eyes had met a couple of times, and she had smiled at me each time. Solomon was staring somewhere, completely disinterested in the party.We were at a party which the wealthiest and most well-respected members of the society attended. It would have been an incomplete party if Solomon and I had missed out. Though we had just begun living with the humans some years back, I felt we were to attend this gathering. It was enticing knowing we could do anything we wanted.Mother hadn't still returned, and we were beginning to believe that she was never going to c
