Colby was the best man and Amaya was the maid of honor. They had agreed on their separate roles and the wedding was about to commence. The color of the day was black, white, and gold. All men would be dressed in suits and women would be dressed in different types of golden gowns with specific designs. Darius was the priest and he just wished that things would turn around. He wished he was the one getting married to Lynette, but he couldn't. Even if he tried to ruin the wedding, he wouldn't escape the wrath of his mother and brothers, not after he had gotten rid of Aurelius. They wouldn't let him destroy Aiden's wedding. Aiden was struggling to put his tie in place when the door swung open, he turned and met Darius who waddled in. He wore the best happy face expression. It was just for some hours and he would go back to being a dejected and abhorrent vampire. “The guests have arrived,” Darius announced as he motioned toward him, helping him to put his tie in place. “You look amazing.”
Looking outside the window, Darius imagined what Aiden and Lynette would be doing now ‘trying to make babies.’ It was heartbreaking, but he knew that Lynette would find a way. He sniggered, folding his arms and seeping from the glass of red wine which he was holding. He would never stop caring about her even though she was married to his brother. He would always protect her and save her from danger no matter the cost. Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned and met Nina who looked at him hopefully. “You should be going home. It's almost eight o'clock.” “I just wanted to check up on you.” Nina uttered as she halted. “Um, I saw your father at the wedding.” “Colby sent the invitation cards to us after you invited me personally.” Nina huffed while Darius put the glass on the wooden desk, ambling toward her. He kissed her when they were close enough, he was doing this just to get rid of every sentiment he had for Lynette. Trying to fall in love. Striving to put his urges under control.
For five hundred years we have walked the earth watching humans breathe and die. We've lived, ceased to exist, came back to live, ran, and hid, but today we return to our former town, Arcadia Falls. We presume that these humans must have forgotten what we are, vampires. We hope that they have moved on realizing that vampires do not exist in this world and are just a myth. We are back. The O'Connor brothers have returned. *Lynette was scurrying home, she held her handbag and the loose straps were hanging over her shoulder. She had heard lots of stories about humans that went missing and were found dead in the woods with strange bite marks some days later. The whole of Arcadia Falls knew about vampires, but they were lied to, the majority believes that it was an animal attack and they go about living their normal lives. She looked above her head, her gaze caught the twinkling stars that hung across the skies and the crescent moon that illuminated the dark clouds. She managed to run pas
The sun was setting, humans were walking to their various destinations. Aiden was driving home with the cake he bought from the bakery shop. He drove into the O'Connor premises, stationing the SUV at the garage before carrying the cake into the house carefully. As he stepped into the living room, he was welcomed by Colby. “Hmm. Looks tasty.” Colby said, salivating, he wanted to eat all of it. Aiden strolled into the kitchen before settling the white-colored creamy cake on the dining table. Beckham had arranged the living room and it was large enough to contain about fifty people. Elijah was downtown, compelling humans to grace the party. They had promised that they wouldn't hurt anyone. Aiden did an excellent job by providing blood bags for himself and his siblings. He knew how to take care of his family and this was what he wanted, a new beginning. “There is something you need to know.” Colby panicked, as much as he wanted to tell him about Marissa, he recognized the consequences an
“Let me get this straight, Marissa. You have been a huntress since you arrived at Arcadia Falls and you have decided to kill my family.” Aiden gauged. “I will give that a hard pass.” Elijah sniggered as they surrounded her. She threw glances at them, tightening her grip on the two daggers she held. She was waiting for one of them to make a move. Colby sped toward her, seizing her throat and nudging her to the wall, she groaned and the daggers she held dropped. “Forget you ever met us. Leave Arcadia Falls and never return.” Colby compelled her. She snickered before slipping away from him. “Do you think that compulsion can work on me? I pray Amaya finds out what you are soon enough.” Marissa hinted. “Don't you dare try to ruin my dear brother's happiness?” Aiden declared. “Vampires. The only thing you creatures think of is to feed on us. I will forever hate you and I will never stop killing your kind.” Marissa threatened. “I will end you before you get the chance.” Elijah giggled b
The O'Connor brothers were good at observing table manners, there weren't side whispers or clanging of the ceramics against the wooden dining table as they dined together. Lynette was sitting next to Aiden, she wasn't used to the dead silence, but she was elated because they were enjoying the meal. She could read the look on their faces and she was catching several glances from Darius who was sitting opposite Aiden. She strived not to smile because she knew that he was flirting with her. There was one thing she noticed about these five brothers, they were looking pale, but still, they were vibrant and full of energy. She didn't want to conclude quickly, perhaps, it was their nature. “Thank you.” Colby said as he stood up looking at Lynette before he waddled toward the sink, he dropped the plate there and exited the dining room. “He is such a cute little brother.” Lynette smiled while fiddling with her spoon. Aiden smiled as he looked at her. Darius frowned, but he didn't want her to
Amaya eyed Darius from the counter, he was getting along so well with those strangers, Colby was eavesdropping though he wasn't interested in their conversation. He didn't want him to tell any of those vampires about the mansion or how strong they were.“Hey boy.” Amaya snapped her fingers and Colby regained himself. “I'm so sorry.” He apologized knowing that he might have offended her. “Sure. I need to take an order.” Amaya informed him. Colby searched for the blonde lady, but he couldn't find her anymore. It was her lucky day because he would have compelled her not to set foot in the grill until she died. He sipped from the empty soda can, attracting unwanted attention. His mind slowly drifted to his past life, the early two thousand, the moments he had with his brothers. How they killed people when they first turned. How they lost the people they cared about. It has been a ride for them. He hoped that things would be different for him with Amaya Grayson even though he had never fa
Bradville.15th March 1876. Aiden was enthused. He pictured how tonight would look like at the town's party. They moved into Bradville some years ago and he had adjusted to the new environment as a vampire. He had found someone that he had feelings for and he pledged to himself that he would ask her out during the town's party. He was in front of the dressing mirror, wearing his tie. He wore a black suit with black shoes. He smiled after he finished dressing up, he looked at his wristwatch, it was 7:30 pm, and he had to leave before he was overdue for the party. He picked up the exact ring that he gave to Lynette and looked at it, he grinned. The ring was created by a warlock to prevent vampires from compelling humans. Any human who wore it was safe from compulsion. He picked up his black walking stick and headed out of the mansion. His brothers had left earlier, but he wanted to be at his best because she promised him that she would come to the party no matter what her parents said.
