There was a great silence in the hall, it was crushing that a traitor was right under their nose the entire time. They'd known Paula for a very long time, she had been with them for close to 8 years, and finding out that she plotted with their enemy was heartbreaking.Evelyn could feel several eyes on her already, she knew that they now had reservations about her if they didn't already, and she had no choice but to come clean to them. " There's something I need to tell you all," she said.She narrated a lot to the family about how connected her parents were to the secret organization trying to recruit her but left out some parts about her father's letter and journal."Let me get this clear, the people who shot your husband and threatened to hurt us are trying to make you join their cult because your parents were members?" Jocelyn asked."Yes," Evelyn answered."Are they responsible for the murders...?" Jocelyn interrupted "Of course, Sam. I am very certain of it" Mr Wolf took a deep
The next morning, Evelyn woke up to see her husband going through her father's journal. He hardly noticed that his wife was awake, as he was immersed in what he was reading.She lifted her upper body and raised her head. "What are you doing?" She asked.Michael was startled. "Huh... Nothing". He tried to cover the journal with his hands."You don't have to hide it. I know you've been reading the journal" "I am sorry. I couldn't sleep that's why..." Evelyn interrupted. "It's fine. I don't mind" "Are you sure?" He asked to confirm."Yes, I'm sure. To be honest, I needed someone to talk to about everything that was written on it"Michael sighed. "Okay. What do you want to talk about? He began to wonder what she wanted to ask from him. Evelyn moved closer to her husband. "So far, what do you think?""About?" He asked"... about what you've been reading?" "Well, It is intriguing. Your father was trying to make a cure" His eyes lit up."By torturing a lot of people" she couldn't get wh
"What do you mean you are responsible for my parents' death" Evelyn asked.He looked up at her with remorse. " Back then I was just made the head of the Wolf clan in this city, during the time a lot of people went missing. Young, old, human, supernatural, no one was safe. Eventually, we located your parents' lab where they had several victims tied up and drained of every ounce of strength, put through the worst torture anybody could take..."Evelyn interrupted "Do you know why they did it?"He sighed "I thought the answers to most of your questions could be found in your father's journal"She said with a sad look on her face. "Not really. I don't know anymore" Michael comforted his wife. "Father how are you responsible for her parent's death""After we raided their lab, Dr Shelton and his wife could not be located. Someone had given them a heads-up that we were coming to their lab. So I and the rest of the council put out a hit on them. Later I got a phone call that her parents were
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
