Victor was different from the way he was in high school. He was more confident and outspoken than he used to be. Physically, he had changed a lot from the little, fragile boy that he used to be to a strong and bold man.She looked up at him. "Who would've believed back then that you would be as tall as this?". She stood on her toes and put her right hand over his head as if to measure his height.He laughed "Yeah right..." he paused to think for a while "...maybe Rebecca?" "Yes. Of course, Rebecca was the only person who believed you would be tall" Evelyn sighed "We were inseparable, the three of us""It was the three of us against the world" Michael added"But..." Evelyn's mood changed " I shouldn't have left you alone. I didn't mean to but I had no choice""It is fine. You were just a child, an orphan who was given a scholarship opportunity to study in Europe. I don't think anybody in their right mind would pass up on that rare opportunity" he replied."At least you had Rebecca," E
As Evelyn continued to gist with her long-time friends, it felt like old times. She was the only orphan amongst them but they treated her like family. It was one of the best moments of her life, the time they all spent together. Life had separated them but they've been reunited and now she wouldn't let anything come between their friendship.It was almost noon and Victor suggested to take Evelyn and Rebecca out. He had to convince them to go with him and eventually, they both agreed. Evelyn went to her room to get changed into a formal dress and Rebecca followed after."Why did you agree to go?" Rebecca said Evelyn looked back at her friend "I feel a little cooped up in this castle, and I want the three of us to be friends again""Really?" Rebecca askedEvelyn replied "Yes. I don't know why I'm the only one trying to make this work" They entered Evelyn's room and searched for a dress. Evelyn brought out two of her best dresses, one of color blue and the other red. "What do you think
Victor stopped the car after he sighted the barricades in front of them. Shortly after, the car that had been pursuing them caught up eventually. Four armed men came out of it and pointed their guns at Victor's car."We've been blocked. There's nowhere to go" Victor hit his fist on the steering wheel.Two SUVs from the opposite end of the road drove towards them and stopped in front of the barricades. A tall blonde man came out from one of the SUVs holding a megaphone in one hand and a pistol in the other. "Hello, peeps. I need you all to step out of your car now" He ordered.Victor came out of his car and stood in front of the gunman. "What do you want with us?"The gunman chuckled "My name is Zebok and you are?""I am Victor""Nice to meet you, Victor. You see I am not here for you. Give me Evelyn and I promise that I won't hurt anybody""No way in hell I'm doing that"Zebok snapped his fingers and the gunmen standing behind Victor's car surrounded it. They instructed Evelyn and the
"I am sorry I took a lot of time before seeing you. Several matters required my attention?" Don said as he sat on one of the chairs. "Are you him? The person that has got the founding families worried" Evelyn said to him.He laughed out loud "Yes. I am the real Don. Please have your sit and let us converse" He was older than how she had pictured him. He looked like he was in his mid-fifties. Never did it cross Evelyn's mind that Don was that much older. Although his dress sense was somewhat recent in style, he looked like he was into fashion seeing as he wore a flashy shirt with butterfly patterns all over it, on top of a slightly ripped jean.She sat down on the other chair and looked at him. "I still can't believe it. I was expecting someone much...""...younger, right?" Don interruptedEvelyn noticed the scars on his face that indicated his non-friendly encounters with supernatural beings." I see you recruited Dr Bryan but using him to get to me was not smart" she told him."Tha
Michael was relieved that his wife was healed, but his only concern was how. He had no choice but to allow Victor to save her with his vampire blood.As soon as they arrived at the castle, he saw his parents, sisters-in-law, and Rebecca waiting outside. Michael carried his wife to their room and lay her on the bed. His family knew that he needed to be left alone with her, so they let him be with his wife. Several hours had passed and Evelyn was still unconscious. It was not normal and so Michael began to panic. He went out of his room and saw the rest outside, in the corridor leading off his room, waiting eagerly for any news."Is she awake?" Jocelyn askedHe snubbed his sister and went straight to where Victor sat. "What did you do to her?" He asked as he held Victor by the throat."Michael... I don't understand what you mean. We were both there when I gave her a little of my blood" Victor said as he struggled to breathe.Michael lost his temper and tried to suffocate him but was st
The next day, Michael woke up early in the morning to make his wife breakfast. It had been a while since he had cooked for his wife, so he decided to surprise her with her favorite dish- Chicken fried rice with salad. When he was done cooking, Michael went back to the room with a tray filled with the meal he had cooked for Evelyn. He saw her shaking in her sleep and put down the tray. Michael tapped her slightly while calling out her name "Evelyn, darling. Wake up" She opened her eyes and gasped for breath. Michael calmed her down "It was just a dream. It's alright" he passed her a glass of water "It was just a dream" she repeated after him and drank all the water."Are you fine? Should I get you more water?" He asked her after collecting the glass cup."I am fine darling. Thank you" "I guess you are still shaken up from yesterday's misfortune " he brought over the tray and placed it on her lap. "I made this for you"Evelyn was very happy, she always loved it whenever her husband
Evelyn opened her eyes from her sleep. Still feeling drowsy, she sat on the edge of the bed and felt pain all over her body- a mild migraine and the itching on her stomach that hurt. The last thing she remembered was Hannah screaming at the top of her voice when she saw Evelyn bleeding, and everything went blank after that.She raised her top halfway to take a look at what was causing her pain, she remembered quickly after seeing the stab wound that Don gave to her. "My God" she touched it to see if it was real. A few moments later, Sheila walked into the room to see Evelyn sitting on the bed. She was flabbergasted and could hardly utter a word. "What are you doing here?" Evelyn asked"I...I am here...to check on you" The maid stammered"Why?" "You've been in a coma for a month now... and I was tasked to look after you"Evelyn screamed, "What?" She removed the drips from her body and tossed them away.Sheila tried to stop her "No you shouldn't..." "Don't touch me" Evelyn snapped at
"...are you serious?" Evelyn inquired.Rebecca blushed "How many times would I tell you? We are together" she stated."So what about that detective?""You mean Luke? After what he did to you that day at the morgue we parted ways""Oh, I see," Evelyn said as she tried to get up from the bed."Here let me help you" Rebecca assisted her. They all went outside because Evelyn wanted to see the garden, she felt like it had been a while since she had gone there. Being close to nature always made her feel calm and she needed it. She entered the garden along with her friends. It had a covering built with transparent glass that was shaped like a dome, the inside was more beautiful than when she had last seen it. It was spring and so most of the beautiful flowers had started blooming."Why are we here?" Victor askedEvelyn chuckled as she sat down on one of the chairs. "I heard vampires are not nature-friendly, is that true?" He hissed "That is a big lie. I love flowers""Liar," Rebecca said an
