Scott opened his eyes weakly and stared at the unfamiliar surrounding. Where was he? And why does he feel so weak.
"Are you back?" Scott heard a voice asked him. He turned his focus to where the voice had come from and saw Arden standing close to him."Hungry." He croaked out.Without a word, Arden stretched out his arm toward Scott and he fed hungrily. After he was done, Scott felt his powers coming back and he sat up. He saw that Arden wasn't standing alone, Lucas was with him."What happened?" Scott asked them after.Lucas took his time to explain everything that had happened. At least, what they thought had happened. When Scott confirmed their thoughts that he had indeed fed from her, Lucas continued in his tale. He also explained what he thought might have been the reason for Scott's unconscious state. After he was done, Scott sighed audibly."Are you saying that her blood could be poisonous to vampires?" He asked Lucas."I don't know yet. It could be only to you. But, we will soon find out," Lucas answered.Scott was about to ask how they would find out when Arden brought out three injections of blood. If Scott was right, the blood belonged to that girl. And, he was about to be a test subject without volunteering himself. Scott groaned and the two men with him chuckled. He doesn't want to experience that sort of feeling again. But, he still needed to know if Luca's assumption was right, just in case.Her blood. How did they get it? He thought as his mind seemed to just remember that little fact."Where did you get that?" Scott asked the two men."Arden went to the hospital to get it." Lucas said. At his confused expression, Lucas explained some more. "You were a bit talkative in your unconscious state." He said with a dismissive shrug.Scott watched as Lucas came near him and injected him with one of the blood injections. He watched as Lucas turned and he injected another one into Arden. Scott became afraid. If Lucas thinks something is wrong or right, then it is usually that way.He hadn't finished the thought when Arden threw up some blood. Scott watched as he threw up some more. Scott didn't fail to see that Arden was already looking weak from just throwing up some blood.Why wasn't he throwing up though? Scott thought to himself just as the urge to puke sets in. He didn't bother to fight the urge, since he knew it was useless. He kept puking until he felt his intestines would come out too.Lucas was already giving Arden something to drink. And soon enough, Arden's ashen color returned back to normal. Scott on the other hand felt like death could win over him in the game of survival they were playing. Lucas came over to him, and he gave him whatever he gave to Arden earlier to drink also. After a minute, he felt his body settled down."Just as I guessed. Her blood is poisonous to vampires," Lucas said."Maybe it's because our blood is tainted. We don't know with true blood, their system may be able to fight it," Arden said.Lucas raised the third injection containing the blood up, to indicate that he also thought the same thing."If I turned like you, just give me what's in that blue bowl. If I turned out worst, give me the yellow one. If I turned out milder than you, then give me the purple one." Lucas told Arden and I as he injected himself.For over a minute, nothing happened. As Scott breathed a loud sigh of relief, Lucas spit out some blood. In a matter of seconds, he turned gray. His fingers nails elongated, his fangs nore define than usual. And, he was writhing about in his blood vomit.Scott quickly picked up the yellow bowl and made him drink whatever was in it. In a minute, he was calmer. His nails had retracted, his fangs were back to their normal size and the blood throwing up had stopped, but, he was still in pain, tossing about. Scott picked up the purple bowl and gave it to him which he drank. About five minutes later, he was calmer and better."How on earth is this possible? How could a human blood be so poisonous, even the true bloods can't resist it?" Scott asked Lucas and Arden."I don't know man. But, one thing I know is the hunters should never find this out, or we are dead," Arden answered, looking worried.Arden was right. If the hunters knows about this, the vampires all over the world would be in danger. The human herself would be in danger.The hunters have been after the vampires for centuries, for a reason the vampires know nothing about. But one thing Scott knows about the hunters was that they were out to wipe out the existence of the vampires. How the hunters knew that vampires exists was still a mystery none of them could figure out. Another baffling thing was no one knew who the leader of the hunters was."What do you think she is?" Arden asked Lucas, who shooked his head to say he doesn't know.Scott had thought nothing could move him anymore, until this. A mere human being? What could be in her blood to make it poisonous to vampires? And he was mated to that very same human? How on earth was he supposed to claim her then?Not that he had any urge to fulfill that part. Thank you very much, he thought."We need to keep an eye on her," Lucas said."True. Arden can do that," Scott answered."I'm out on a mission for our laird. I'm taking the earliest flight to London by tomorrow," Arden said.Laird to vampires is what lord or king to humans mean."Let Kevin keep an eye on her then," Scott suggested again."Kevin is going with me, Scott," Arden told Scott in an apologetic manner.What mission was the laird after exactly, for him to send two powerful vampires together? Not just any vampires, he was sending two tainted bloods. A vampire with a fey blood, and a vampire with a wolf blood. It must be a very dangerous mission."Who can now keep an eye on her?" Scott asked the duo before him.When he didn't get any answer, he looked up. Only to find the two of them staring right at him in resignation."I am not going anywhere near that human. I hate humans and you both know that," Scott said, looking from one vampire to the other."You are the only vampire powerful enough that is available. And, you know a little about her. Besides, you are the only vampire who can alter his entire look," Arden said."Besides, the secret can't be let out to everyone. It's a dangerous thing for the vampires. So, the fewer people who know about it, the safer we can be," Lucas supported what Arden had said.Scott hated to admit they were right, but there was nothing he could say. The secret has to be guarded. And if it was to be guarded, it has to remain between the three of them."Alright. I'll go. But, I need that mating bond broken first." Scott finally said."I can break the bond and you will be free from her. But, the next time the bond gets activated, you will be stucked with whoever the bond chooses. You won't be able to break the bond anymore," Lucas told Scott.Any other thing is acceptable to activate his bond again, compared to being stucked to that human.Scott thought to himself."Then, let's get to work, shall we?" Scott said out loud.Scott Anderson looked at the alley he was walking in, already regretting that he had let Lucas and Arden talk him into the situation he was in. Now, he was already getting angry at the entire situation on the ground and he was mostly angry at the human girl, whatever her name was.He was however happy that the bond had been broken, even though the process had been nothing but pain. Lucas had tied him down like an animal so that his demon side would not take over him. Then, the man had made him gulp down some weird substance that had left a bitter taste in his mouth. He had thought that was all it would entail but if only he knew.It hadn't been more than a minute when the pain had begun. If Scott had thought vomiting due to the human blood was death, whatever Lucas had made him drink was hell. For more than 3 hours, his vampire blood and demon blood fought over domination. It got to a point when Scott had thought death would be a better option compared to what he w
Alijah's head throbbed and her whole body ached her. It felt like someone had hammered her entire body with a heavy object like a sledger or even a rock. The way her body felt like was the same with the way one would feel if the body has been carved in different kinds of wound.She also couldn't make sense of all the jumble of thoughts that had passed through her mind. Some of them even felt like memories. Memories that she knew that it didn't belong to her. Why she also had them was a mystery to her at the moment.She had been sleeping when the entire thing started. In only a matter of minutes, she had felt pain and horribleness. Intensed pain that she had wished for death to just take her life away from her so that tormenting could end.Then, the memories or thoughts had started. The memories that she had done everything in her power to stop from ever appearance in her head since they bring along with them, bundles of sadness.She saw her memori
As soon as Evan went away with the blood-stained wools, Alijah sat down on a plastic chair beside the unconscious man. After checking his forehead and making sure that he wasn't burning with fever, she relaxed her tense feature a little. She was still watching to see if there would be any reaction from the man when her stomach growled and she was reminded of the fact that she hadn't had her dinner yet. She got up from where she sat and went into the kitchen to get something to eat.When she got to the kitchen, she rummaged through her stuff and saw that she only had oatmeal and some milk left in the refrigerator. She sighed as she served herself some, knowing that she had no choice.She was almost at the door when she remembered that she hadn't fed her cat, Peace, her dinner yet. Alijah went back and got the cat's plate, poured some of her cat food into it before she picked it up carefully and she returned to the room with it.The cat sat on the white chair her owner had vacated only
The sunlight flickered through the blind, unleashing its ray of anger on Scott Anderson who groaned at the pain and discomfort he felt as the harsh sun burned him up. His blood felt hot and the flesh covering his bones felt as though it had been roasted as barbeque meat for whoever cared for it.He lifted his arm over his face to at least protect his face from getting more burnt than he felt it had. When that action did little to help him out of his predicament, he forced his blue eyes open and sat up. All his body ached and his bones felt stiff, along with his hot blood. To cut the long story short, he felt like he had been crucified without his permission.When the sunlight hit him again, this time a little brighter than before, he turned an angry scowl toward the direction the light came from. The first thing Scott noticed was the poor state of the room he was in.Judging from the faded blind that covered the window, to the faded color of the wall of the room, to the bare floor that
Scott teleported to the screaming woman in front of him without much thought about giving his identity away; something he had been trying to avoid since the moment he opened his eyes in her house. All he had just thought about at that moment was to get her to shut up. When he got to where she was, he slapped a hand over her mouth and indicated the shush tone."Keep quiet, will you?" He asked her in a commanding tone.Alijah heard the automated control tone of someone asking her to keep quiet somewhere in the subconscious of her screaming. When she realized that it was the same man she had run away from, she screamed even louder into his hand which muffled her tone a little.After she had been bitten by that vampire creature at the hospital, the truth had never gotten to her that vampires were creatures that truly exist and not just in the nighttime books. Seeing a man who had reacted the same way that white-haired man did had made her freak out of her usual controlled self.Why wasn't
Alijah got into the kitchen, poured the last of her oatmeal into a bowl, added some milk to it, and made her way back to the room where she had left the stranger and his cat. She shook her head as she realized that the cat she had grown fond of would no longer be hers since the owner would want to go back for his pet when he was leaving. Even if the cat wanted to stay with her, she was sure the man would insist on taking the cat away.She would miss the pet. She had come to rely on the companionship the cat gave her. Now, there would be no one she could talk to and tell all her worries. She would return home to only her furniture and the silence her house provided her with. She sighed as she tried to shoot the depressing thoughts away. She was already used to being alone for most of her life, so returning to that circle again shouldn't be such a hard thing for her.It was a hard thing, she thought. Whether she admitted it out loud or not, whether she thought of it in her mind or she di
Scott waited until he was sure that Alijah was gone completely from his doorstep before he let out the curse that had rested upon the tip of his tongue for a little while."Fuck! I can't believe I let Lucas talk me into this mess." He sighed and looked around at the poor state of the house once again.He could break down and probably murder the girl if he remained in the house, he thought. He agreed with himself that the only thing he could do at that moment was just to leave the house. However, because he didn't know anyone anywhere, he was a little confused about where to go."The lost one." He mumbled to himself and smiled. He would just go out and look around to see if he could spot the lost one he and his sister were looking for a while back.He teleported out of the house to an area without any living thing poking their nose about and breathed in the scent of fresh air. He was just about to step out among the humans when he remembered that he shouldn't have teleported out of the
An alarm blared into the ears of Evan and he stood up from where he sat watching the television. It was an alarm that rang every day. His call alarm to get up and carry out his secret research.He went straight into the small laboratory he had set up in one of the rooms in his house. Of course, no one knew he had such a thing in his home and he was determined to keep it that way. No one should ever find out his secret.Which was what had made him remain at home for the past three nights. He couldn't believe that someone had tailed him when he had gone to treat the little boy. If not for the fact that he could mask his aura, he was sure that the man would have found out that the scent he had followed belonged to the man who had bumped into him.He sighed as he pushed the tiny door open. All he had to do was just to be more careful than he already was, otherwise, his secret would be out and he would be the target of many cruel forces he knew existed.He took his mind off the thought as
