~Ashley~I turned around to see an incredibly handsome man. His pale skin looked a lot like mine and for a weird reason, I thought I looked like him. "Ashley Elsher, I'm I right?" He asked with a smile, not moving. Before I could answer, Gatlin blocked my view and said. "Let's not do this." "Gatlin West, you've grown a lot more audacious and daring. Twenty years ago you were unable to stand in my presence." The man retorted.I had a vague understanding of who he was and asked, "Are you a demon?" The next thing I saw was Gatlin being thrown aside and the man appearing in front of me. He had a smile on his face as he gazed down at me. "You're just as beautiful as your mother." "You know my mother? Who are you?" I asked as stood up. The next moment however, Gatlin got up and walked towards me. He occupied the only space between the boundary and the man. "You shouldn't be talking with someone like him, Ashley. Keller, keep trying to break the barrier." Gatlin said looking up at th
~Gillies~I looked around the place as I smoked from the cigarette in-between my fingers. When I noticed the familiar silhouette, I stuffed out the cigarette and looked towards her. "You asked to see me." I said as I looked up at Raven. "Yeah. I need to show you something very crucial and important." She replied as she walked to the other side of my car and got in. I got into my car as well and started it. "What do you have to tell me?" "How is your preparations coming up." I heard her ask and turned to see a smile plastered on her face. "It's coming up well." I retorted and looked to my front. "That's good to know." When I drove into the high way, I turned to look at her and asked, "Is that the only thing you have to tell me? Won't you tell me how my sire is doing and what you're planning on doing?" "Your sire is fine. I mean, look at you, you're still alive. My plans shall remain unanimous until I've accomplished them. I don't and will never answer to you." I scoffed angri
EverMore Academy~Ashley~ "If you continue doing that, you'd kill your friend. Oh, poor Cassie." I heard Yoel say in a sing-song tone. I looked at Cassie and noticed her eyeballs had rolled into her head, and she was also convulsing slightly. "We need to stop or we might kill her!" I yelled but Keller had her eyes shut as she mumbled the spell. I tried to push Cassie out but a stronger force held me in place. "If you do that, you'd risk loading them both! Just let her do her thing." Gatlin said. My eyes moved from Cassie to Keller and I finally accepted to hold Cassie down. "There are things called bad advice. Remember, you never get to tell the good ones apart from the bad ones until the havoc has been wrecked." Yoel's voice came up again, but this time, I was determined not to pay any heed to him. When Keller opened her eyes, I felt a gust of wind blow and I instantly knew that the barrier had been broken. When I looked up at Cassie again, to my dismay, she had her eyelids
Dagon's CribThe man cut open a rabbit and let its blood drip into a bowl. He didn't stop until the rabbit's body was devoid of any blood. Then he dropped it aside and slit his palm open. His own blood dropped into the bowl and he mixed it together with a hunch of leaves. The door was suddenly kicked open and a group walked in, Drexa leading them. Before Dagon could cast a spell to hide him, some of Drexa's vampires held him down and dealt some blows to him.Drexa walked up to him and held both hands in front of her. "It's okay. Don't hit him, he's a friend of ours." She said and the vampires stopped but held onto Dagon. Drexa looked around the place and sighed. "This is a pretty cold place, enough to keep your other body warm." Dagon's eyes glistened at the sound of that.Some men walked out of the room where he normally left his vampire body. He heaved a sigh of relief when he didn't see them with his body but his heart stopped when the last man wheeled out the coffin contain
Just the day before, the mafians in the city had been preparing to fight but the very next day, they had no idea what was going on. Rebecca called them together and had Gregor address them. At the moment, she stood with Gregor at the back of the hall. "Those Mafia bosses took an oath to protect their subjects. You can't just kill them and expect those under them to take the news lightly." Gregor said as soon as he was informed about the massacre. Rebecca stood beside M and gazed at Gregor silently. "If you think they'd cause trouble for me then I'll either have to compel them to obey me or kill all of them." She said as soon as he was done. Gregor looked up at her with angry eyes. But the lady raised both hands in defence. "Don't give me that look, you're not also a very good person." "A lot of mafians dying will bring more of them to New Jersey. We're not like vampires who don't care about each other." Gregor scoffed. "Then I expect you to rein them or I'll have my vampires
"You knew all of these and you didn't deem it fit to let me know! Do you have any idea the risk you've put thousands of people in by keeping silent!" It was clear, Rebecca was enraged and was ready to kill Eden any minute. But thankfully, the other woman didn't try to provoke her any further but replied in a calm voice. "I get the fact you're angry and feel like ripping my head off but I really want you to know that I thought I could keep him safe. Turns out I couldn't and for that, I am greatly sor–" Eden hadn't completed the sentence when she was sent flying out of her chair by a punch from Rebecca. Her anger had finally gotten the best of her and she was intent on killing Eden when M held her back. "Just let me kill this punk!" Rebecca yelled, struggling against his grip. "This is no time to kill." M shushed, his hand tightening on hers. "It was a big negligence on her path. Now, we should be talking about how to find him." His words finally calmed her down and she walked to
EverMore Academy~Keller~I glanced at Ashley who watched over Cassie with a worried look and looked away again. "Keller, is there no way to extract whatever they put in her?" She asked me and I shook my head. "They might be, Ashley. Mia Melly or another powerful witch might know something." "The more reason why we need to get out of here as soon as possible." She mumbled and got up from her bed. Charlotte and Taylor had their eyes pinned on us, none saying anything. "If you have anything to say, then say it and stop staring at us like zombies!" I finally snapped at them, unable to bear the intense heat from their stares any longer. Taylor scoffed, placed her head on her pillow and shut her eyes. While Charlotte got out of bed and headed towards us. "You can talk from your bed, can't you? My side of the room is already filled with three people." I heard Ashley say with a sigh and resisted the urge to chuckle. Charlotte wasn't embarrassed as she turned and returned to her bed,
~Rebecca~After leaving Drexa's Compound, Rebecca headed to Pegasus Bar. That was where she felt a cold hand on her shoulder. "Can I join you for a drink?" She heard a feminine voice and refrained from turning to look at its owner. "Sure." The chair beside her was pulled back and a lady on black sat beside her. When she leaned forward and saw the latter's identity, she scoffed, "After days of disappearing, you suddenly appear. Fascinating!" "Drexa will do anything to get me to be one of her witches. It's advised I act with discretion." She turned to look at Mia and chuckled. "What did you do to her?" "Nothing that can't be forgiven." Mia replied and turned to the waiter. "Get me a bottle of vodka, please." The waiter turned around and brought down a bottle of vodka from the shelf, then slid it over to her along with a glass cup. "I've not been opportuned to ask you regarding the last stunt you pulled earlier with Ashley." Rebecca suddenly said when the other woman was pourin
