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
As Scott got into his plain new room, he cursed himself because of how he had reacted to the woman and the words he had spoken out of anger. He knew that the words could backfire right back at him if the woman thought deeply about what he said."Maybe I shouldn't have threatened her." He said to himself. "But then the threat did work on making her grant me my wish." He chuckled to himself again.He was still thinking about this when he heard loud blaring sounds of the police van getting closer to the house. When the siren only got closer, he knew trouble was brewing for him."What the!" He exclaimed when he realized that Alijah had done what he had put past her.She had called the police on him."I'll kill that woman and put an end to all these at once!" He screamed into the almost empty room, not caring if the wind carried his voice over to her."Scott, are you there?" Lucas's panicked voice sounded in his head."Yes, I am." He answered back. Then, unable to hold back his emotions, h

Silence. Cold. Emptiness.Such were the emotions that filled Alijah up like waves of the sea, flaming out their shame. Like wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever, as she opened her car door. She stared at the sky, lost in worries. The moon was hanging full and hazy beneath a cap of dark clouds, and the distant stars magnified the silence. Alijah wouldn't have minded, but it seemed to her like even the heavens were mocking her unfortunate situation.She got into the car and sat down. When she inserted the car key into the keyhole and she turned on the ignition but the car refused to start, she cursed inwardly. She tried it again, and thankfully, the engine coughed to life. Without eating any more time than was necessary, she drove away from her working place.Her boss had moved up his game tonight. He had blatantly stared at her butts today, while telling her he wouldn't mind having a good time. If she hadn't really needed the job, she would have snappe
