Letisha Hearst CarterAs I lay my head on the kitchen island, I groaned incessantly. The next day came by, and every inch of my body ached, as if I had been pulled apart like a piece of taffy.From across the kitchen, a mischievous chuckle filled the air, irritatingly grating on my ears. But I couldn't help but feel grateful because the tantalizing scent of a delicious breakfast wafted toward me.In my current state of extreme soreness, I couldn't make any sudden movements, so it was fortunate that the person responsible for my predicament was busy cooking for me.“You look adorable, Tisha, I already applied ointments so the pain will disappear soon, I promise.” He giggled while telling me that.I wanted to hiss but I am too busy enduring all the pain because of all the extreme training he is giving me and my child.The difference is, Tain wanted more training because of his young energy. On the other hand, I didn’t want to be part of anything right now and just rest.“Shut up, you wi
Letisha Hearst Carter“Tish, I don’t think this is such a good idea.” I heard Vanelope panicking on my back after we got out of the car.We stand here, in front of my childhood home. It looms tall, a two-story giant, stretching its wide arms across the land. Its mere presence sends shivers down my spine, stirring up memories I thought I had buried deep within.From a distance, the house appears grand, but to me, it's a nauseating sight. It has been years since I last laid eyes on this place, and the rush of emotions overwhelms me. The memories of the past come rushing back like a torrential downpour, threatening to drown me.Within these walls, I endured heavy traumas inflicted by my parents. Their treatment was a painful burden I carried, etched into the very fabric of this house. The echoes of their harsh words and cruel actions reverberate through the corridors of my mind, reminding me of the battles I fought and the scars I still bear.I shook my head and couldn’t believe that I a
Sebastian Arlhout Carter“Well, she claims that her dad might be some kind of supernatural, so I played along with her even though I knew the truth.” Vanelope scratches the back of her head.“She claims, what do you mean about that? This is a serious claim, why didn’t you tell me anything about this?” Cyrus almost sounded like he was complaining.“Well, she said she saw her father in a monstrous form before but she wasn’t sure if it was a dream or real.” She informed us.I wanted to lash out as well but I needed to remain calm because there is something else that I’d like to know about.“What truth do you know about it?” I raised my eyebrows, so she sighed deeply before sniffing in the air.“She only smells like a human, if her family has something related to supernatural beings then before me, you would know.” She claimed, so I thought she may have a point.“What if her dream was the time after she was born and maybe, just maybe, her father was turned into something?” Cyrus wondered
Letisha Hearst CarterAs the sun rose on the new day, I could feel every muscle in my body protesting from the wild celebration we had the previous night. It was as if they were dancing to the rhythm of our joy.Little did I know, they were all in on it, anticipating the moment he would ask me that nostalgic question once again. And so, they conspired to throw us a grand party, a celebration of love and commitment.Initially, I thought it was going to be a farewell gathering for him, as he had recently quit his job. But it turned out to be a party for both of us now that we are going to get married soon once again.Amidst the vibrant crowd, our son, Tain stood at the center of it all, his laughter filling the air. Although he was too young to comprehend the occasion's significance, his pure heart resonated with the joyous atmosphere. He chuckled and clapped his tiny hands, unaware of the intricacies of adult life but basking in the love that surrounded us.The memories of last night
Letisha Hearst Carter“Are you done yet? Has it been revealed?” I heard her shouting outside of the bathroom impatiently. I rolled my eyes before cleaning up myself and the pregnancy test.She took me to her room because she has tests in her room, probably checking if they have created something when she is late.“Not yet, I'll let you know once I have the results,” I replied, feeling a hint of a pout forming on my face. Her chuckle echoed from outside, hinting that she was relishing the opportunity to test my patience.As I waited anxiously, the results began to appear slowly on the test, teasing me with each passing second. The anticipation was unbearable, until finally, my eyes widened in disbelief as I saw the mind-blowing outcome: it was positive.The room seemed to buzz with an electric excitement as I held the test in my hands, my heart pounding with a mixture of joy, shock, and wonder.I got out of the room and the expression on my face was enough to let her know that I am ind
Letisha Hearst Carter“Are you ready?” Sebastian entered our room, he looked like he was not afraid about what is going to happen sooner or later.“Are you going to be okay?” I curiously asked before handing him the last of the bags we needed to bring, “It’s a war, Sebastian, I am scared that you might be in trouble.”He shook his head before kissing my cheeks, “I will not be in trouble, I have a family and clan to protect.”I sighed deeply after he left because he didn’t want to talk much about my concerns about this war. I think he just doesn't want to hear me worry.When I was done preparing myself, I went out of the mansion and saw that only Vaney, Cyrus, and Sebastian were there.“Has everybody left?” I curiously asked, the blow of the winds were harsh but its freshness comforted my well-being.“They have secured the place there and since everything is okay, we can go there now.” Vaney smiled.I only smiled back and felt the tension rising in the air. The ride was beyond silent,
Letisha Hearst Carter“Are you trying to tell me that you were turned into a vampire for business purposes? What is that business for?” I curiously asked.“A business of human trafficking, we could earn a lot of money from there that is why I invested.” He smiled, making my eyes widen in disbelief.I can’t believe that I thought of him as my ally back then when my mother was trying to hurt and scold me with hurtful words.He is worse compared to her, how can he agree to a business like that? Has he lost his mind or something?No wonder he doesn’t care a bit about me because he has other goals he wanted to reach in life where I wasn’t included.“Y-You’re a monster! How can you agree with something like that? I am even more disgusted now that I have you as my father!” I furiously screamed.His expression on his face didn’t change after hearing my curses, “You can say whatever you want because you will be my pawn, I am going to manipulate you with my power.”I stepped back after seeing h
Sebastian Arlhout CarterI didn’t get any response from her, but I continued to speak with her. I am also trying to use my powers against her but it is not working for some reason.That is odd, I am usually successful at times that I use this ability because I don’t use it often since it is a dangerous ability. It is said that power gets stronger when it is kept within you.I also make sure no one would say that I use manipulation to make other beings join us, besides, the magic does wear off if I did try to use it against them. It is not advisable.“Tisha please, listen to me, follow my voice, I am here with you no matter what will happen.” I kissed her forehead.I looked into her eyes, it does not contain any black clouds. It makes me wonder if she is under a spell or something because her blue-glinting eyes have not changed.Tain held onto my legs as if he was trying to stop me from moving further. I tried to speak to him but he was raising his hands with a silver dagger. I get tha
