RALPH I did not need my driver today, so I took the car keys from him. Colbert watched me, wondering what was going on in my mind. I signaled him to enter the car as I sat in the driver's seat. He came in and sat in the passenger's seat. "Alright, where are we going to?" he asked. "I wanted to make it none of my business, but now that you asked, I think I will pick up this case." "Are you really saying you didn't do that? Do you have an alibi?" Jovita was supposed to be my alibi. I was kissing and carrying her to bed around that time, but I could not say that to Colbert. He will project this love thing again. "Of course not. I know this is difficult to believe but trust me, I did not do this. Someone is trying to set me up, but what worries me is the reason for that." "Maybe another vampire that is secretly into her?" I did not like the sound of that. No other male will touch her. I zoomed off, heading straight to the hospita
RALPH I pulled into the compound and saw Kala, my driver, waiting for me. I decided to indulge him and know what he thought about me being the reason for the boy's demise, but before I could even get out of the car, my assistant, whom I hadn't asked her name yet, came walking up to me with a news Colbert had insisted on going down and using the public transport to go back to his city. Our argument did not end well, and I was grumpy. This was the first time Colbert blatantly disagreed with me on anything. It left me sorer than I cared to admit. "Welcome, Lord Ralph. You have a visitor." "I am not entertaining visitors now," I said, tossing my keys to Kala. "Hello, there," someone greeted from a few feet. I looked up to see Andres. My heart fell low inside my stomach. I looked from him to my assistant as if wanting her to explain things to me, but she offered no help. It was quite a relief that I got rid of Colbert on the way. "What are you doing
RALPH "I will make you want me, but I will not fuck you." That was my mouth speaking, but I wanted to rip her legs apart and fuck her until she forgot her own name. I only have an ounce of control remaining as I work my way through her body. Jovita. I hated the name, but I wanted to fuck the girl. She was in my head every time, even when I was not thinking about her. I thought doing all those things would make me forget her. Maltreating her, removing her from being my assistant. I thought making her hate me would make me hate her, but it made me fucking miss her. I wanted her. I wanted her every fucking night. In a bid to get her out of my system, I go to my club and fetch many vampire women. I slept with them to get her out of my system, but she was there when I had sex with them. Her body was the only thing I thought of when I fuck those women and the only image that drove me to climax. I had lost count of how many times I had masturba
JOVITA The event of the previous night stayed with me throughout the day and into the night, occupying me when I was alone. As usual, I went to throw the thrash out, but only one thing remained in my mind and that was the image of lord Ralph having sex with the girl. Anytime I think of this, there was this rippling sensation I get. I had being trying to forget about it but it was all I could think of. The fire his mouth and tongue lit on my body still lingered and even though I had taken my bath twice today, his scent still lingered on me. I sighed, what was wrong with me? Why did I keep thinking about it? This was a man I was supposed to kill not fuck. But I could not help it. He arose those feral desires in me. I huffed deeply and walked away from the thrash can. I looked up again at the bright moon in the sky and thought about Bryce. How was he? Is he out of comma? "I see the moon makes you think of me," a deep voice I knew too well said. I looked
THE PROPHECY The sky was dark, altered by occasional lightning and the rumble of thunder. The rain was coming down in drizzles, and the patter of rain on roofs was drawn out by the tortured screams of humans in the air. Two men in black robes stood on a castle balcony, watching the event calmly. "Move your asses, stupid mutts!" one of the captors yelled to the prisoners walking half-naked and bare feet under the rain. Prisoners of different ages moved while their captors brought down whips on anyone who delayed the movement. The prisoners screamed and cried in despair. The man who had yelled at the prisoners noticed a blond glaring at him, and he moved closer to her. Humans were not meant to look them in the eyes. Why was this girl so bold, staring at him? She did not flinch or avert her eyes when he moved closer. "What are you staring at?" he inquired. "I want to take a pee," she said in a cracked voice. He looked at her fettered hands and t
RALPH Hundred years after the prophecy... I sauntered into the building with Colbert stalking behind me. I hated these meetings because I hated seeing some other vampire lords. Some of which I can never be friends with, and I wondered how Viktor gave them titles they clearly did not deserve. "Welcome, Lord Ralph. Welcome, Lord Colbert," the servants by the door greeted. There were slight hesitations in their voices, and they gummed their backs to the entrance door in fear of me. I ignored them while Colbert answered them. They were young vampires who still had atoms of emotions. Vampires like me are emotionless, and I love it that way. It brings me much respect and makes no one mess with me. My elder brother Colbert often displays certain human emotions, and it irritates me. The only emotion I am capable of showing is wrath. We entered the meeting room, and six pairs of eyes flicked to us. The room was dark and quiet as usual, except for the pounding of our footsteps. I saw e
RALPH Eighteen years after the meeting... The prisoners were brought before me to select whom I wanted to feed on. The prisoners were mostly women and a few men. These days, we feed on men instead of women. More females were becoming slaves in the capital, but none seemed like who I was looking for. They were all terrified of vampires. I did not know how to identify her, but I knew I had not found her yet. A timid girl stepped up. The stink of urine wafted into my nostrils, and my nose twitched. I looked away from her and sighed. "Why does she stink?" "She urinated on herself, my Lord," the vampire in charge of prisoners replied. I fisted my hands on my waist and paced around the place. "Why is she in my presence?" The vampire opened his mouth to speak, but I was uninterested in his explanation. I was beside him in a flash and drove my hand into his chest, ripping out his heart. He crumpled to the floor, and I tossed the bundle of nerves aside whi
JOVITA Humanity lies on your shoulders now... The man standing by my door was so pale to be human. His sullen dark eyes refused to leave my form on the bed. Goosebumps blanketed my skin, and it was as if I was frozen on the spot. I could not move or speak. I only stared at the nightmare standing by my door. Who are you? I wanted to ask, but my lips were sealed with fear. But this man seemed to hear my thoughts. He left the door and took a step toward me. I forced my vocal cord to produce a sound, but nothing came out until the man leaned and loomed over me on the bed. His touch was cold. I stared into his eyes and realized there were no eyeballs, only hollows. A red substance was smeared around his mouth, and it did not take me long to realize it was blood. He grinned at me, exposing his long, sharp canines. Vampire! "I am your worst nightmare," he said, but his lips were not moving. My heart pounded, my body shuddered in fear, and I co
