Alijah stared at Scott as he slept. For a vampire that is strong and supposed to protect, he slept like a log. The rays of the sunlight rushed in through the window, casting a warm glow into the room. Her stomach rumbled and she remembered that she waited for Scott all night yesterday and she didn't get to eat. She stood up from the bed and she also realized that she never got to put on a cloth yesterday and she basically slept with just her bra and a short.I need a relaxing bath. Alijah thought as she entered the bathroom and drew a bath. Removing her clothes, she basically dropped into the bath and had a long nice bath, soaking her body in the warmth and fragrance of the bath. She showered the dirt of her body and dried it off with a towel. Just as she was walked out of the bathroom, almost completely naked with just a towel wrapped around her hair, she remembered that Scott was still in the room and her legs just stopped moving.Scott was still sleeping on the bed, he was very m
Alijah's heart ached as she listened to Scott's painful confession, his words echoing in her mind long after he had fallen silent. She had never known that he had human friends, let alone that he had been betrayed by them. It was a side of him she had never seen before, a vulnerability that touched her deeply.Watching him talk about the pain reminded her of the experience she had in high school, were she was befriended by a lot of popular girls and at that time it was a big thing for her. She was getting a lot of attention and then she got a lot of power also. But at the prom dance, they all played a prank on her, embarrassing her and putting a painful memory in her forever. She confronted them later but they said that, the main purpose of the friendship was to lead to this. So, she clearly understood his pain. "I'm so sorry, Scott," she said softly, her voice filled with compassion. "I had no idea you had to go through that. It must have been so difficult for you."Scott shrugged,
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
Alijah woke up with a scream.Nightmare. It was only a nightmare. A nightmare like every other night.She checked her phone and got out of bed so fast, she almost fell down. How could she have slept off? Or was she mistaken about time? She checked her phone again. 9:00 AM. Nope, definitely not mistaken.She hurried through her morning routine and got ready for work. What if Mr Fart, her boss, fired her for coming late to work? What if he thought she resigned because of yesterday's advance? Then, she would be doomed. She needed that job, just as she needed the air to breathe. Even though she was only a secretary, she loved the pay the job got from the job. She needed that money to keep her mind and soul together.20 minutes later, she was out the door."I'm sorry I'm late." Alijah told her boss.His name is Mr Alfred Ray, but Alijah prefered to call him Mr Fart because she thought the man's attitude was like a fart that smells to others but never to the one who farted. Although Alijah n
Finally, Home.Scott thought as he looked around the familiar room he had teleported too. He plopped down into a seat, rested his head on the edge of the seat, and crossed an arm over his face.He knew his sister would not be coming there anytime soon, and that only pleased him well. How could she have even thought that the next best thing to do was take him to the hospital? What if they had been discovered? We could still be discovered.The tiny voice in his head reminded him.He shouldn't have fed from the girl. He knew it was extremely dangerous, but he had woken up very hungry and her blood had smelled appealing to him. So he had done the most stupid thing he had ever done in his life.He couldn't deny that her blood was delicious though. It had taken him all the willpower he had left not to suck her dry. It hadn't helped that his inner demon had roared at the scent of the girl, and he had felt aroused for the little girl like an untrained youth. Worst of all, he had forgotten to
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 soo
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
