The duffel on her shoulder fell on the floor with a soft thud as she held her cheek with her face inclined to the side because of the forceful impact of the slap.Her smile was lost but still, she tried to force a smile on her split lips. She tasted blood in her mouth. Slowly she straightened to look at Josh who stood in the doorway fuming in rage."What the f*ck are you doing here?" He snarled but all her innocent eyes could see were the tears streaming down his cheeks. He looked weak. Drained. There were vivid dark circles under his eyes. He seemed to have shrunk immensely. Her poor heart stumbled in grief at his sight. What have they done to her brother?The twitch in his jaw had her batting her eyes in confusion. Her cheek throbbed but she turned away from the pain and focused her eyes on her brother."Josh," her voice; a soft whisper as she advanced with an intent to embrace him in a tight hug, cry her miseries and sorrows away on his chest, to feel his warmth and feel safe but t

Evelyn tensed. Her heart exploded with pain. Oh, how much she needed a hug all this time. She hugged Axel but he pushed her away that night when he found her truth, she wanted to hug Josh and cry her pains away on his chest but he also tossed her away.Evelyn wrapped her arms around Susan and hugged her tightly as she sobbed.Susan rubbed her back as the girl cried her heart out. She was thankful to Susan for being here for her, otherwise, she didn't know what she would have done to herself.Evelyn pulled back sniffing and stared wide-eyed at the wet blotches on Susan's shirt. Susan followed her line of gaze and then gasped. "Don't tell me it's a snot?" She panicked.Evelyn sniffed and looked at her sheepishly."Oh, God. Evelyn, Ewww!" Susan feigned a cry and got to her feet. Marching into her room she emerged after a while, wearing another shirt before she tossed that old shirt at Evelyn's face. "You'll wash it," She blabbered and Evelyn pulled it back pouting.Grabbing a chunk of ti

Susan chewed on her bottom lip as she stood in front of the front door contemplating whether to knock or not. Last night when she brought him a sandwich he was surprised and calmly asked her to leave. She explained that she shifted into the apartment beside him and thought to bring him dinner.He had appraised her skeptically before he took the plate and told her that Evelyn didn't live there anymore and she shouldn't show up again before he thanked her and closed the door.But Evelyn has given her the responsibility to look after Josh. She breathed in deeply and schooled her expressions before knocking once again.She heard his footsteps before he came to a pause. She was sure he must be glaring at her through the peephole.After a long pause, the door opened to reveal Josh. He looked like a mess and his eyes were swollen, he must've slept while crying."I told you she doesn't live here anymore," He rasped in a low voice.She wanted to tell him the truth but she didn't understand why

Evelyn finished cleaning the tables as she sat at one of the tables going through her phone. She was alone. Chris said he had to go for dinner with his friends. He wanted to close the shop early but she talked him out and assured him that she'll be fine and will close the shop.She texted Susan asking about Josh. She replied instantly saying he was sad but coping just fine. She was making sure he ate properly. Evelyn sighed after sending a loving heart emoji to her. She was so thankful to Susan for being there for Josh.The doorbell dinged as the door opened and four young men walked inside. She got to her feet and hurried to the counter to take their orders. Putting a smile on her lips she greeted them. "Good evening, sir. What would you like to order-" The girl paused and her eyes widened slightly when she inhaled the weird scent.They weren't humans. Her head shot up and she stared at them with her breath clogged in her chest.This was bad.They were tall with a good build. She woul

The hold on her nape was gone as she sat upright rather abruptly. Her vision was blurred and her head was dizzy as the girl painted heavily. Her chest heaving up and down erratically and her heart was thumping in her mouth. She fell back on her butt and her body weight rested on her palm as she faced the sky blinking rapidly to get her senses back.Evelyn barely heard the cries of pain behind her. Her whole body was in the icy cold water of the stream as it washed past her. Her vision cleared a little and she groggily got to her feet in an attempt to run but an ominous snarl that ripped through the air laced her skin with goosebumps.The voice inside her head screamed at her not to turn around but the voice of flesh being torn apart had her stomach churning up as she turned around only to stiffen at her spot.The creature in front of her had her blood freeze faster than frostbite.A huge black wolf stood at some distance tearing the flesh of three dead vampires.Evelyn watched in raw
