( Raven's POV)Raven and Nolan found themselves in a frustrating predicament - they were utterly lost. Raven scanned their surroundings, her eyes catching sight of a familiar tree they had passed not long ago. She observed Nolan as he stared intently at the coordinates displayed on his phone, a look of confusion etched on his face. Letting out a sigh, she couldn't help but feel tired."Come on, let's keep going," Nolan muttered, striding forward with a determined demeanor. However, Raven couldn't ignore the fact that they were retracing their steps, going in circles without making any progress. She decided it was time to address the situation.Halting her steps, she folded her arms across her chest, a sign of her growing frustration. "I think we might be lost," she stated, her voice tinged with a hint of certainty.Nolan glanced at her, his expression revealing a mix of annoyance and defiance. "I know exactly where we are. We're not lost," he retorted, his pride preventing him fro
~ Lumiére's POV~Lumiére kept staring at the young Vampire standing in front of him. It was hard for him to believe that this vampire wasn't Noah. How could someone who looked exactly like Noah be here in the outlaw lands? It was a complete mystery.What the hell!"Are we there yet?" he asked impatiently.The Vampire rolled his eyes. "You guys seem really impatient," he remarked, shaking his head.The Vampire spoke just like Noah. Damn! Lumiére followed him through a series of underground tunnels until they reached the basement of a building."Stay here," the Vampire instructed, stepping out of the door. After a few moments, he returned and signaled to Lumiére."You can come out now... it's safe," he said.Lumiére let out a sigh of relief and followed him up the narrow staircase. He had to be careful not to fall as he climbed the stairs and was grateful when he saw a door. The lookalike of Noah opened the door and led them through a narrow hallway.Lumiére couldn't help but express hi
Raven's POV"Stay close," Nolan whispered softly to her, his voice barely audible in the tense atmosphere. Raven could sense the shift in the air, a foreboding sign that danger was looming. Instinctively, she positioned herself securely on Nolan's back, readying herself for the attack. They were not even there yet and were already getting attacked.Suddenly, the Vampire darted past them in a blur of motion. This time, Raven's heightened focus allowed her to catch a glimpse of the creature. She observed Nolan swiftly assuming a defensive stance, drawing two gleaming knives from his pants as his prepared weapons.Okay, it was time.Raven closed her eyes, centering herself with a deep breath as she caught the scent of the vampire, it was close now.Strange as it may seem, her senses sharpened, becoming more acute, allowing her to track each step the vampire took as it closed in on them in a mere fraction of a second. It was coming straight for her.Reacting swiftly, Raven lunged forwa
Raven's POVRaven struggled to match the speed of Jansen and Achim as they sprinted ahead, but they were damn fast. They moved with such speed that if someone had claimed they were vampires, she wouldn't have required concrete proof to believe them.She sensed a shift in the air even before arriving at the area. There were too many vampires in the area as well as Night watchers. Somehow, she possessed the ability to see the invisible barrier that loomed before her.She could hear the reverberating sound from the barrier as more vampires poured out from it. The entire vicinity was filled with an evil aura, with bloodstains splattered across the ground and lifeless bodies strewn about.Her heart pounded in her chest as she anxiously surveyed the scene, silently praying that she wouldn't spot Lumiére amidst the chaos.Jansen forcefully grasped Nolan's shoulder, his voice firm and commanding. "Find the highest vantage point and set point. You're on sniper duty," he instructed Nolan, who
Lumiére's POVLumiére slouched on the couch, his mind filled with shock. "How the fuck do you even exist?" he muttered under his breath, staring at Joshua. After leaving the outlaws lands, thanks to Noah’s twin, Joshua, they had foregone their original plan to head back to the East Sanctuary. Instead, they had opted to return to the fortress, the reason was because the fortress was closer.The moment they arrived, Lumiére wasted no time in summoning an emergency gathering of all the Sanctuary Lords." I keep wondering how you've existed all this while without our knowledge" Reagan mumbled.Joshua rolled his eyes dismissively, paying no heed to their muttered words.The dynamic between them was amusing even though they had all just met each other few hours ago. It was as if Noah was the one standing there.The minute they got to the fortress, they had contacted Noah immediate and the vampire, was currently en route from the East Sanctuary, unaware of Joshua's presence.Lumiére eagerly
Lumiére's POV"So, let me make sure I understand this correctly," Arin began, his gaze shifting from one person in the room to another."This guy is apparently Noah’s twin and somehow, he’s been in the outlaw lands because when you guys found Noah, he wasn’t there…," he continued, trying to grasp the situation.Lumiére nodded, confirming that Arin had captured the essence of the situation. There really wasn't a more concise explanation for what had transpired."Shit," Arin cursed. Lumiére sighed, feeling the weight of the unfolding events. He glanced at his watch once more, aware that Noah would be arriving soon, since he knew that the vampire wouldn’t race to the fortress. Like Reagan, Noah loved human technologies."I can't wait to see Noah's reaction when he meets this guy," Reagan muttered, a hint of anticipation in his voice." Hello? This guy is actually in the room…" Joshua sassed.Lumiére couldn't help but scoff at his comment, his eyes, finding his cousin, noticing that Reag
Raven's POVRaven slowly opened her eyes, greeted by the sterile surroundings of what seemed to be an infirmary. The white-tiled walls and the IV drip connected to her hand indicated that she was back at the Watchtower. A sense of relief washed over her, knowing that she had been brought back from the brink of death. How that had happened, she didn't know.Recalling the events that led to her current state, Raven shuddered at the memory of the vampire's claws sinking into her neck. Instinctively, she reached up to touch the area, only to find it concealed beneath a protective plaster. She couldn't help but wonder how they had managed to revive her. It defied all logic. She should have been dead by now, but here she was. Alive.As the door swung open, a figure clad in a white coat entered the room. Raven noticed that this must be the doctor. The man was engrossed in the tablet held in his hands, his attention fixated on its contents as he approached her bedside. His eyes remained g
Lumiére's POV"This is the only way, Lumiére," Arin whispered urgently, his voice filled with determination.Lumiére sighed heavily, frustration evident in his actions as he ran a hand through his hair. He understood the gravity of the situation and the task they were asking him to undertake. However, a sense of hesitation and doubt clouded his judgment.Since initiating the lockdown protocol in all the Sanctuaries, they had been anxiously awaiting any sign of the intruders. Yet, despite their efforts, it seemed that the trespassers were still lurking in the shadows. The safety of his people was of utmost importance, and Lumiére felt the weight of that responsibility pressing down on him."Lumiére..." Arin's voice came as a gentle reminder, urging him to make a difficult decision.Reluctantly tearing his gaze away from Arin, Lumiére turned his attention to the expansive screen before him. It displayed a real-time map of all the Sanctuaries, revealing the movements within. The intruder
