CHAPTER 13 & 14 : [EARLY BETRAYAL]
Anita was fumming the way Vincent walked out of the room and told her to leave increased her rage.
‘Who the hell does she think she is to walk in here and still my man, Anita is time to act smart I’m not gonna let that girl take what is mine’ she thought inwardly as she stood up and wear her clothes before exiting the room.
She made her way to the garage and got into her car and zoomed off.
The car came to a halt in front of an old hut, Anita stepped out of the car and made her way into the creepy hut.
The inside was decorated with weird Trickett and an old lady dressed in an all black gown with a hoodie cap which she used to cover her face is seen sitting in a circle chanting a spell.
“I need your help” Anita said and she immediately stopped what she was saying.
“I know why you are here” the lady replied.
“I want the portion, I just want to eliminate that girl” Anita growled.
“Are you sure you are ready to face the consequences?” The old lady asked.
“I’m willing to face anything” Anita replied.
The lady walked to a shelf with thorns of portion and she picked one as she walked to Anita.
“Here you go” she grinned as Anita gave her and envelope filled with money.
“Nice doing business with you” Anita smirked collecting the portion as the walked out she could here the Witch laughing.
‘Such a psycho’ she thought as she got into her car and drove back to the mansion.
Vincent was seated in the terrace with a frown as he thought of what Clinton did earlier to him.
‘Master’ Bryan called.
“How many fûckîng times do I have to tell you to go straight to the point on your first statement” Vincent growled.
“I’m sorry I…” Bryan paused as Vincent shot him a glare.
“Clinton has captured your men again” Bryan reported.
“That fûckîng bastard is getting on my nerves this day’s, he burnt my ware house, ruin a good deal and now he’s trying to bring my empire down” Vincent smiled.
Bryan stepped away from him not wanting Vincent to pour out his anger on him.
“Should I go ?” Bryan asked.
“Did you ask me before coming?” He snarled standing up. Bryan shook his head but didn’t leave yet.
“It’s been long i played with Clinton that’s why he keep messing with me, he thinks that little toy of his could do me harm” Vincent laughed.
“But Master it would drain your strength and that would give him an advantage to eliminate you” Bryan resorted.
“Well he should do it if he can” Vincent smiled before speeding off.
“Why I’m I even concerned about him, he should get himself killed” Bryan frowned walking off.
Clinton was driving on his way to where the captured vampires are when he saw a figure standing at the centre of the road.
He smirked as he increased the speed of the car pressing his feet hard on the accelerator pedal.
Just as he was about hitting the figure with the car, he kicked it sending the car somersaulting.
“Mother f*cker” Clinton cursed as his head banged on the staring wheel.
He felt a bit dizzy but managed to get out of the car which was now outside down, he touched his forehead and felt blood streaming down but he didn’t care.
“Let’s play old friend” Vincent grinned approaching Clinton.
“I see you’re no longer a coward” Clinton spat.
“Less talking more fighting” Vincent smiled given Clinton a brutal punch that sent him flying to the ground.
“F*ck” Clinton cursed as he brought out his gun.
“Same old trick” Vincent smiled.
Clinton pulled the trigger and the bullet pierced through Vincent shoulder.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk so pathetic” Vincent looked at his injured shoulder and it immediately healed.
“You fûckîng devil” Clinton dashed towards him and kicked him twice making him to staggered back but didn’t fall.
“Is that all you got” Vincent grinned.
“I can’t say for myself” Clinton attempted to punch him but missed.
“Now’s my turn” Vincent grabbed Clinton and hit him multiple times on his stomach with his knee before giving him a kick that sent him flying to a far distance.
“Nice baby steps” Clinton groaned standing up.
“Better than yours” Vincent dashed towards Clinton but stop when he felt something sharp pierced his heart.
“You fûckîng asshøle” Vincent fell to the ground.
“Let’s see how you escape this” Clinton laughed sarcastically.
“I’ll kill you” Vincent growled trying to get up but his vision was becoming blurry, he managed to stand to his feet.
“Fuck you Clinton” he groaned removing the dagger Clinton stabbed him with.
He attempted punching Clinton but missed and Clinton kicked him this time he fell.
Vincent tried standing up but Clinton gave him a head stump.
Bryan was standing from a far distance watching the charade and he knew he had to intervene.
“You need to stop this” Bryan said as soon as he got to where Clinton and Vincent was.
“Why should I stop ? My duty is to protect my kind and vampire’s don’t belong here he messed with my family now it’s my time to end him” Clin pulled out his gun.
“Wait, How about I give you your daughter and you spare him ?” Bryan suggested.
“Don’t you dare do it Bryan” Vincent groaned.
“Well, that’s a good deal and I’ll love to fight with this weakling again” Clinton dropped his gun.
“Never trust a vampire” Bryan grinned as he picked up Vincent and speed out of there.
“F*ck!” Clinton cursed ruffling his Hair.
“You could have kill him” Ronald shrugged.
“Just shut the fuck up” Clinton yelled.
“Jeez, I was just trying to point out that you almost did it” Ronald frowned.
“There’s no almost, that bastard is gonna die anyways, I hit the bullseye” Clinton smirked as he walked to the car Ronald brought.
“What do you mean?” Ronald asked following him.
“I got his heart, fool” Clinton entered the driver’s seat.
“Damn, we are finally gonna end them” Ronald smiled as he entered the car and they speed off.
VINCENT MANSION
“I warned you” Bryan stared at Vincent as he laid on the bed frowning.
“Common laugh” Bryan tickled him.
“Get those filthy hands of me or else..” he didn’t finish when Bryan place a finger on his lips.
“Aww, this baby is angry, Kuchi Kuchi Ku” Bryan tickled him more.
“Bryan I swear you’re dead meat” Vincent snarled.
“Enough with the threatening, you know I’m the only one who could help you now so don’t make me mad” Bryan smirked.
“You’re so annoying, where’s Klaus ?” Vincent asked.
“Probably on his way” he shrugged as he started patting Vincent hair.
“Will you stop this clingy nonsense” he managed to shout.
“Fine, I’ll leave” Bryan stood up.
“Don’t you dare move an inch, why did you tell Klaus about my condition ?”.
“He’s you brother he needed to know that you’re gonna die” Bryan rolled his eyes.
“Bro” Klaus called immediately entering the room.
“Why did you have to do such a crazy thing” Klaus scolded.
“I see all the guts you both have just because I’m not energized” Vincent glared.
“You need to do it, she’s the only one who can safe you, C’mon bro, she’s your mate after all making out with her won’t be bad”,
“No way, I’ll heal myself” Vincent rejected the suggestion.
“Stop being stubborn for once, just mate with her so she could possess the ability to help you heal” Bryan frowned.
“There’s no need for that, just get a healer” he mumbled.
“That won’t be possible, you might die before the healer gets hear and if I were you I would just do it” Klaus replied.
“Fine,bring her here” Vincent mumbled.
“Bryan please call Naomi, tell her it’s urgent”, Bryan nodded before leaving the room.
“You even know her name” he scoffed.
“I know many more things about” Klaus smiled.
“Just keep your damn mouth shut even if it is just a minute, talkative” he frowned.
“Did you just call me a talkative” Klaus gasped.
“Keep your self company” he stood up and stormed off.
“Finally, some silence*” Vincent shut his eyes.
“Hey” Anita smiled as she sat with Naomi in the living room.
“Hi” Naomi faked a smile in return.
“I’m sorry about the other time we met, I’m Anita” she introduced.
“I’m Naomi, nice to meet you Anita”,
“Vincent is really handsome you know, and he’s just so romantic I love the way he handles me in bed” Anita giggled.
“Wow, that’s great” Naomi forced a smile.
“He’s just so good, to bad he doesn’t feel a thing for you, you’re just a weak human” Anita scoffed.
‘i thought she wanted to be friends, what a rude idiot, trying to make me jealous’ Naomi thought inwardly as Anita kept talking even tho Naomi never responded her.
“So you want something to eat ?” Anita finally asked.
“No thanks, I already ate not too long ago” Naomi replied.
“What about ice cream ?” Anita suggested.
“Yeah, I’ll love some ice cream” Naomi smiled, ice cream was one of her favorites and she hasn’t had one in a while.
“Follow me then” Anita stood as she cat walked with Naomi trailing behind her.
They arrived at the garage which had different luxurious cars, Naomi wasn’t that shocked, she expected such from someone who has such a huge mansion.
“Won’t he be angry if we leave the mansion without his consent?” Naomi asked.
“Of course not, he’s not around” Anita opened one of the cars and they got in.
“Here you go” she gave Naomi a mini bucket of ice cream.
“Wow, it’s vanilla my favourite, thanks alot” Naomi giggled collecting it.
Anita grinned as she watched Naomi enjoyed the ice cream and when she was almost done with it she started the car and drove out of the mansion.
“I thought we were going out to have some ice cream, but I already had one so where are we going to?”Naomi asked.
“It’s a surprise* Anita smirked as she kept on driving with full speed.
The car came to a halt near a cliff, Anita stepped down and Naomi also did same.
“What are we…Ahh!!!” Naomi didn’t finish her statement as she felt a sharp pain and she clenched her stomach.
“Ahhh!!n” she yelled as she fell down, Anita stood watching her with a smirk on her face.
“Please help…” She coughed and she saw blood on her hand.
“Did…you…poi… poison…me ?” Naomi stuttered in fear.
“Isn’t it obvious, Vince is mine and mine alone'” she smirked as she walked over to Naomi and pulled her hair.
“Ahhh!!!” Naomi screamed.
“No one can hear you b*tch” Anita grinned as she dragged Naomi to the edge of the cliff.
“Please don’t do this, I’ll stay away from Vincent please” Naomi begged as she coughed out more blood.
“Too late” Anita chuckled as she kicked her.
“Ahhh!!!” Naomi screamed as she saw her own life flash before her eyes.
“A job well done” Anita smiled as she got into the car and drove off with excitement.
“Master I can’t find…” Bryan reported but paused by what he saw.
A Dark smoke carrying a powerful aura surrounded Vincent as he stood from the bed his eyes glowing red and showed that he was in rage.
“My mate” he said in a deep demonic voice and a sinister smile on his face.
Bryan shivered as he slowly steeped back and before he could blink Vincent was gone and thorns of bat exited the room immediately.
“Oh no” Bryan muttered as he ran in search of Klaus.
CHAPTER 15 & 16 : [LOST LOVE]
The morning air was cold as the sun was on the verge of rising, Naomi felt all hope was lost as she landed into the freezing water at the bottom of the cliff.
She struggled to save her life but it was in vain as she couldn’t swim and the current of the water was pushing her to the direction of its own will.
Fear gripped her as she saw a mighty water fall ahead of of her, she tried grabbing anything but the current was making things worst.
Naomi leg got stock on something and she couldn’t move to the surface to get more air.
She tried pulling her leg from what ever it got stock to and it worked but unfortunately she currently pushed her with full force and she hit her head on a rock making her go unconscious.
The water current carried her unconscious self off the water fall and her body was no longer in view.
Vincent who was dashing with full speed to save his mate couldn’t proceed as the morning sun was spreading through the surface of the earth.
Having no other choice Vincent retreat with a heart boiling with rage.
VINCENT MANSION
Everyone looked for a hiding spot immediately Vincent arrived except for Anita who sat in the living room excited.
“Babe” she called smiling as she approached Vincent but never made the mistake of making an eye contact.
“Take one step and I’ll torture you in hell” Vincent threatened with a husky voice.
“What’s wrong” Anita paused on the spot and accidentally made an eye contact with him but immediately diverted her gaze.
In a swift motion Vincent was standing in front of her with his hand wrapped around her neck in a strong grip.
“Look me in the eyes” he growled.
“I’m so sorry please” Anita gasped for air as his grip was getting tighter.
“Please you say ” he grinned.
“It’s a mistake, I won’t make such an attempt” her voice was hardly audible as her lungs were running out of air.
Vincent let go off her and took a step back staring at her with no remorse but rage, he tried restraining himself from killing her immediately.
“Where’s my Mate ?” He asked.
“Please I don’t know anything about her where about” Anita denies.
“Look me in the eyes” Vincent ordered.
“I can’t do that, please” she shook her head.
“Look me in the eyes!” He yelled making her to shiver.
Anita shut her eyes closed and raised her head unwilling to sigh her death warrant.
“For the last time, where’s my Mate ?” He asked in a cool but deadly tone.
“I..I.. pushed her off… the…cliff… and I… poisoned…her…sh..she..is dead ….by … now” she stuttered as she trembled with fear.
“Ahh!!!” He shouted making the whole mansion vibrate.
“Look me in the eyes” he shouted with his voice echoing through the walls.
“Please I sorry, please I did it because I want you to be all mine, she was becoming and obstacle spare me for the sake of the moment we hard” Anita screamed as stream of tears flood down her cheeks.
“I never repeat myself” Vincent grabbed Anita and pulled out her eyes.
“Ahhh!!!” She screamed her lungs out.
“Bryan!!!” He yelled.
Bryan rushed to the scene but stood five feet away.
“Yes master” he answered with his head bowed.
“Torture her but don’t kill her instead put her in the sun and tell the devil I sent this one” he threw Anita roughly to the ground.
“I’ll do just that master” Bryan dragged Anita away.
“No,no, no, I had a second chance to make up for the past now it’s all gone, why did you have to leave me again Aurora why” Vincent mumbled as he fell to his knee and for the first time in a years a tear slipped out the side of his eye but he immediately wiped it away as memories came back.
FLASH BACK
A group of vampires are seen roaming looking for prey as they sighted a small house in the middle of the woods.
“There are humans there” one of them grinned.
“Not so fast Andrew. David, Kyle, Greg and Victor you guys should wait here, remember I’m training my heir to be vicious he should have this one ” Seymour the leader said.
“We’ll wait, Master”David replied.
“Ready ?” Phillip looked at Vincent.
“Yes, father” he mumbled.
“Great” Phillip smirked as he barged into the house with Vincent following him behind.
“Ahhhh, run Gabriella and take Aurora along” the man shouted as Phillip pierced his teeth on the man’s neck and drained his blood.
The woman grabbed her daughter and was about running when Phillip grabbed her.
“Ahh!!!” He daughter screamed in horror but didn’t waste time in running.
“She’s all yours go ahead” Phillip grinned as he pointed that direction the girl ran towards.
Vincent chased after her and he no time he cornered her.
“Please don’t hurt me” the girl whispered crying.
Vincent took a close look at her and was captivated by her beauty, she had cute small lips with a pointed nose and perfectly carved brows, her long brown hair fell freely with some strands on her fac.
Vincent attempted to go closer but she staggered back in fear.
“I won’t hurt you” he voice was calm.
The girl stared at him as he slowly advance towards her and too her surprised he pulled her into a warm embrace.
“You’re not like them” she muttered and Vincent nodded.
“You’re beautiful” he completed as her cheeks turned red as she blushed.
“I’m Aurora” she introduced.
“I’m Vincent, my father is going to come for you”
“Please helped me” she hugged him tightly.
Vincent felt his heart skipped beat as he never had feel this way before, he had an idea of saving her.
“I’m sorry,” he muttered as his fangs came out and pierced her neck.
“Ahh!!!” She screamed disengaging from the hug as she stared at him with a look of disappointment.
She fell to the ground as she started felling different her heart racing and her body felt different.
She screamed again before closing her eyes for a while then she opened them and stood up.
“What did you do ?” She asked.
“I only….” He got distracted as Phillip approached them.
“What’s going on” Phillip as looking furious.
“Father I…” Vincent tried explaining when a thunderous slap hit his cheek.
“You’re a disgrace” Phillip snarled.
“Take her away and lock her in the dungeon” he ordered.
“Yes master” Andrew replied as Kyle accompanied him in taking Aurora.
She looked at Vincent with a pleading look and that made Vincent guilty.
Phillip took Vincent and made to punish him in front of the whole clan.
“A challenge you to a duet father if I win you release her and if I loose I’ll no longer be your heir and you can banish me along with her”.
“You’re such a fool, you’ll regret this” Phillip smirked.
“I’m not a fool father, I’m doing what makes me happy”.
“How dare you talk back at me” Phillip made to slap Vincent but Vincent caught his hand in mid air.
“Let’s have the duet” Phillip frowned, everyone gasped knowing what the end might be.
“You trained me and it won’t be hard to defeat you” Vincent chuckled.
Phillip didn’t reply as he dashed towards him and started hitting him brutally. Vincent manager to dodge some hit but still got beaten up.
Each of his attempt to hit Phillip failed as Phillip was more experienced and showed no remorse towards Vincent.
Vincent was beaten to the extent he couldn’t stand up.
“You are a failure, you loose leave and never return” Phillip spat as he walked away.
“Vince” Klaus called as he ran towards Vincent.
“Go one more step and you’ll go with him” Phillip warned.
“But father he’s your son and my brother” Klaus muttered.
“I won’t repeat myself” Phillip replied.
Klaus took a look at his father then at Vincent he took a deep breath before walking towards him.
“I’ll be by your side always brother” Klaus hugged Vincent.
“Get them out of here” Phillip shouted.
The guards matched towards Vincent and Klaus as they kicked them out along with Aurora.
Things was hard for them but Vincent love for Aurora grew more until her betrayal.
Aurora turned to Phillip for help with out Vincent consent and made an alliance with his father.
Driven by rage Vincent built his own empire and rained war upon his father but his love for Aurora never died.
Aurora helped him in killing Phillip but after their fight Aurora was stabbed with a venomous dagger.
She made a promise to return to Vincent before she died.
Vincent empire had crumbled and Bryan and Klaus were the only one who survived along with him.
They all restarted their life and Vincent became ruthless and promise to make Aurora fill the pain he went through before accepting her when she returns.
END OF FLASHBACK
“‘Will she ever return again?” Vincent asked himself regretting ever being harsh towards Naomi.
He ordered Bryan to send assassin to kill Clinton assistant before walking to his room and shut the door leaving the whole mansion in suspense.
BRISTOL UNIVERSITY
Alicia walked nervously to the H.O.D office to hear what she had to say because they sent for her earlier.
She knocked on the door gently and was asked to come in.
“Good morning” she greeted the lady who looked like she’s in her forties.
“I’ve called you hear to inform you that the scholarship got terminates” she lady said ignoring the greeting.
“Please she would…”
“Enough, we have waited long enough I’m sorry but there’s nothing I can do, you can leave” she lady said.
Alicia didn’t know what to do as she turned and left the office.
Throughout the whole lectures she was absent minded.
Her lectures ended close to evening and she made her way home, she brought out her phone as she got into the car and as soon as she saw Ronald’s message her mood changed.
She smiled as she got engrossed in her phone and ignored her parents who were waiting for her in the living room.
She didn’t hear their questions as she walked to her room and jumped on the bed still smiling.
After three hours on her phone she dropped it and ran into the bathroom to showed.
Ronald has asked her for another date and she was super excited.
She came out of the bathroom after almost an hour and applied some body lotion before wearing a cute outfit.
She wore a straight jean mini skirt with a pink crop top and a pink and black boot. She curled her hair and let it down freely side ways before applying a light makeup.
She grabbed her self phone and her hand bag before running out.
Ronald was waiting for her outside as he leaned on the midnight blue Porsche.
” You look stunning” Ronald complemented.
“Thanks” Alicia blushed.
“Shall we ?” he asked opening the front door for Alicia.
Alicia nodded smiling as she got into the car, Ronald entered into the driver seat as he started the car and they zoomed off in the cold night.
Ronald stole glances at Alicia and she noticed it.
“What ?” She smiled.
“You’re so beautiful, I’m so lucky to…” He was interrupted as he felt the car four tires went flat.
“Not now” he groaned.
The road was dark, cars hardly passed through there and Ronald knew it was an ambush.
‘How the f*ck I’m I gonna use my gun, I went for driving licence so I could take her out properly and now some asshøle is ruining the moment” he thought inwardly as he stared at Alicia.
“Is everything okay?” Alicia asked getting a bit nervous.
“Promise me no matter what you won’t come out ?”,
“Why ?” Alicia asked.
“Just promise Ali,” Ronald stared at her with concern.
“I.. promise” she stuttered.
“Lock the car if I go out and don’t open it no matter what unless it’s me” Ronald got out of the car.
Alicia nodded as she locked the car immediately with her heart racing.
Thirty minutes past and Ronald had not yet returned.
Alicia got worried and decided to exit the car.
“Ronald” she called looking around hoping to see him staŋding at the back of the car but he wasn’t there.
*Ronald” she called louder but found no trace of him.
“Ro….” She paused when she saw a vampire staring at her with hungry eyes.
“Ahh!!!” She screamed as it advanced towards her in a swift motion.
“There’s no escape” he grinned.
CHAPTER 17 & 18 [BROKEN HEART]
RIVER BANK
The atmosphere was wet and silent as only the sound of the river flowing and the leaves dancing could be heard as the cold breeze blew by.
A girl is seen laying unconscious at the edge of the river. The silence was broken by the sound of foot steps approaching.
A guy came to view as he spotted the unconscious body and approached her, and squatted next to her.
“Hey, Linc, I told you to wait for me,” a girl ran towards him.
“Omg, is she alive ? She looks pale !” She exclaimed immediately when she saw the unconscious body.
“Her temperature is getting low.” he touched her forehand.
“Hmmm, hmmm, help me,” the girl tried lifting her.
“You’re so lazy, Mia,” Lincoln chuckled as he lifted her up and placed her on his shoulders.
“What about the fish ?” Mia asked.
“We will get that later. Let’s take her to Mother,” he replied.
“Ok,” Mia nodded as she followed him.
They walked through the forest, which was already dark without any fear till they got to a bungalow, which looked really old with weeds around it.
A lady who looked like she was in her fifties was sitting mixing some herbs when they entered her gaze met with them.
“Who’s that ?” She asked as she stood up.
” We found her at the river bank,” Mia smiled.
“Lincoln, what about the fish ?” She asked.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t get it. She was dying, ” he replied, dropping her gently on the floor.
“It’s okay, you can get it tomorrow,” she lady muttered as she examined the unconscious girl.
“Mother look.” Alicia pointed to the necklace on her neck with a name on it.
“NAOMI, what a nice name,” she said after taking a look at the necklace.
She stood up and walked towards a pot and fetched some substance from it. She poured it in a bowl and added some powdered herbs before going back to Naomi.
She lifted her head slowly as she poured the substance into her mouth.
“Mother, what will it do ?” Mia asked curiously.
‘Watch and see,’ the lady said, and soon Naomi started coughing.
“She was poisoned,” the lady gasped as she quickly walked to a shelf and brought out a green liquid.
She poured it into Naomi’s mouth again, and this time, she fell unconscious again.
“Mother, will she be okay?” Mia asked with concern.
“Yes dear”.
“Another starving night,” Lincoln frowned as he made his way to his room.
“Stop being so grumpy,” Mia yelled.
“Just let him be. C’mon, help me, ” the lady said as she lifted Naomi with the support of Mia.
They took her to a spare room and laid her gently on the bed. The lady treated the wound on her head.
“Good night, and please wake up,” Mia pecked Naomi’s forehead.
“Let’s go,” her mother said before she left the room.
“I’m so hungry, I’ll just have the grapes.” Mia walked to the table and picked the bowl filled with grapes.
“Too bad Linc is allergic to this.” she smiled, caressing the bowl.
“Don’t finish it all, glutton,” her mother chuckled.
“Mother, I’m not a glutton,” she pouted.
“Fine, you’re not a glutton. Just go do something else. You’re distracting me,” she said with her attention on what she was mixing.
“I’ll go bother Linc,” Mia grinned as she dropped the bowl and ran into Lincoln’s room.
SILENT ROAD
“There’s no escape,” he grinned.
“Please don’t hurt me,” Alicia pleaded when she heard a familiar voice.
“Step away from her, and take on someone your own size,” Ronald said.
“Oh boy, the target is here, I thought you loved hide and seek,” he smirked as he pushed Alicia to the ground.
Seeing this made Ronald more enraged as the vampire dashed towards him.
“Run before it’s too late,” Ronald warned.
“Never,” the vampire growled as it threw some punch, but Ronald dodged them all.
“Vincent just keeps sending amateur,” he chuckled he kicked the vampire multiple times.
Alicia ran to the side of the car and squatted with her eyes closed as she kept on mumbling.
“Please don’t die, please don’t die, please don’t die…”.
Ronald threw a punch that sent the vampire falling to the ground.
“I told you, amateur,” he chuckled but didn’t see the time the vampire scratched his neck with it long fingernails.
“Shit,” Ronald cursed as he felt how deep the cut was.
“Blood,” the vampire smirked.
“Not today, asshøle” he flipped over the vampires and stabbed him in the back with the silver dagger he always carries around.
The vampire screamed as it burnt to ashes.
“Ahhh!!!” Alicia screamed again as another vampire grabbed her.
“What part of stay in the god damn car and lock the fûckîng door is so hard, huh?” Ronald yelled.
“Hey, don’t shout at her. She’s too cute,” he licked Alicia’s neck.
Ronald folded his fist, trying to suppress the rage he was feeling that moment.
“Let go of her, let’s do this one on one,” Ronald suggested.
“Nah ah ah, you’ll have to go with me,”
*And throw away that weapon of yours, ” he added. Ronald raised one hand and was about to throw the dagger when he shouted.
“Duck, Alicia,” and Alicia immediately bent down. The dagger flew piercing into his chest as he also burnt to ashes.
“Who…a..are…you ?” Alicia stuttered as she stared at the ash then at Ronald.
“What the f*ck is wrong with you?” Ronald yelled, ignoring her question as he was already angry.
“I was just worried about you, or did I make a mistake to get worried ?” Alicia cried.
“Just shut the f*ck up, you’re really stupid,” he yelled.
“I’m not stupid, I hate this damn day, I wished I never met you,” Alicia cried.
“I also wish I never met you,” he yelled but instantly regretted what he said and wanted to walk up to her.
“Don’t you dare come near me,” she shouted.
“Ali, I’m sorry. I was just angry,” he apologized.
“It’s Alicia, not Ali,” she said, storming off.
“F*ck,” he cursed, kicking the side of the car.
“I’ve messed up big time,” he groaned as he deepened his hands into his hair.
He watched Alicia till she was out of sight when he remembered he was bleeding
He walked to a busy road and boarded a taxi home with his heart restless and filled with regret.
NEXT DAYVINCENT MANSION*
Vincent was seated lost in thought in a secret room, which only Bryan knew about.
A few corpse were on the floor as it seemed he had drained their blood. The room had cages with humans locked up in them.
None of them dared to make a second because each time he glanced at the cage, he got prey.
They all knew they would eventually die, but no one wanted to die that moment because of his mood.
He stared into space for hours, looking all tattered with some stain of blood on his lips. He wasn’t feeling like standing but made up his mind to go to his room.
He stood up and slowly walked back to his room before sliding into the bathroom to take a long shower.
When he was done, he made his way to his dressing and put on a robe before going to sit on the couch with his eyes closed as he meditated.
Meanwhile…
Bryan and Klaus stood outside the door, and both of them were unable to summon the courage to enter nor knock on the door.
Vincent eyes flickered open, and a grin appeared on his face.
“She’s alive,” he whispered.
The leaves of the forest baths in the glory of the sunlight as the sun was up and shining bright.
The ray of sunshine shined through the window of the room, reflecting on Naomi’s face.
“Hmm.” She winced a bit as her head felt heavy due to the severe headache she was having.
“Where am I ?” She groaned, holding her head as she sat up.
“You’re awake,” she heard a girl who looked ten or so said as she embraced her.
“You woke up fast sleeping beauty,” she heard a guy said and she turned to see a cute guy leaning on the entrance with his hand folded.
“I’m Mia, and that’s my brother Lincoln. You’re Naomi, right ?” Mia creased her brow.
‘How did she know my name?” Naomi thought puzzled.
“Your necklace,” Mia pointed as if she knew what Naomi was thinking.
Naomi took a look at the necklace and remembered Alicia gave it to her as she smiled sadly.
“Good morning dear, I’m Mrs Abigail,” a lady said as she entered the room.
“This is our mother,” Mia hugged Mrs Abigail shortly.
“Don’t mind Mia she’s always clingy and energetic,” Mrs Abigail smiled.
“Nice to meet y’all,” Naomi returned the smile.
“Please, if I may ask, where am I ? And how did I get here ?” She asked.
“I and Linc I found you snoring at the edge of the river.” Mia giggled.
“Mia !” Mrs Abigail gasped.
“It’s alright,” Naomi laughed.
“Can you remember what happened before you found yourself here ?” Mrs Abigail asked
Naomi nodded before explaining what happened between she and Anita, excluding the fact that Anita is a vampire and never mentioned Vincent.
“What a cunning snake, you’re naive, trusting to easily,” Lincoln scoffed after listening to Naomi’s explanation.
Naomi mood saddened because she knew Lincoln was actually right.
“Are you hungry ?” Mrs Abigail asked.
“Yes.” Naomi hesitated a bit before answering she was scared whether to trust them or not, but the fact that they saved her life made her trust them a little.
“Lincoln, go get something for us to cook,” Mrs Abigail said.
“As usual,” Lincoln rolled his eyes.
“Can I tag along with you?” Naomi asked as her head felt a bit lighter.
“No dear, you need to rest,” Mrs Abigail said with concern.
“Please, I need to know what’s like outside and get some fresh air,” Naomi pouted.
“Alright, but Mia, you are not going with them. I need your help,” Mrs Abigail stood up.
“Mother!” Mia frowned.
“C’mon now,” Mrs Abigail made her way to the door.
“Mmmmm,” Mia stumped her feet angrily as she followed her mother.
“Are you going to lay there and stare all day ?” Lincoln asked.
“Oh, sorry,” Naomi mumbled as she got off the bed. she saw a peer of shoes at the side of the bed, and she put them on before following Lincoln.
“Woah !” She exclaimed as they got outside.
“Close your mouth before a bug gets in.” Lincoln walked past her.
“You should stop being so grumpy, and try smiling sometimes.”
“Why should I go about smiling like a lunatic?” Lincoln creased his brow.
“Because I think it’ll suit you.” Naomi smiled.
“Story for the Gods,” he scoffed.
“Why don’t you guys move to a more civilised place?” Naomi asked.
“Because it’s safe here, and if we had moved out of here, you would have been dead,” he mumbled.
Naomi mind instantly drifts to what her mother once says when she says there should move out.
“Do you know about the vampires?” she asked, and he stopped walking.
“I’m not gonna answer that question,” he replied before they continued walking.
Naomi didn’t bother asking any more questions as she trailed behind him, delighted by the beauty of nature.
They got to the river and Naomi took a seat on a rock nearby while Lincoln dropped the bag he carried as he brought out a net before walking to the river, the water was at his knee length before throwing the net into the river.
“I bet you won’t catch any fishes there. Only dumb fishes would swim near the end of a river.” Naomi shrugged.
“Well, that means there are a lot of dumb fishes here.” he brought out the net, and it caught four fishes.
“Woah,” Naomi clapped.
“It’s nothing that cool, just help me with the bag.”
Naomi picked up the bag and walked towards him when her leg tangled with the rope on the ground as she fell along with Lincoln with his hands wrapped around her waist.
She landed on top of him and was lost staring at his hazel eyes as their faces moved closer as each second passed by.
A fish escaped the net and was trying to get water the water when it used its tail to slap their faces.
“I’m so sorry,” she snapped back to her senses as she stood up.
“You didn’t tell me you wanted to kiss my sexy lips so bad,” Lincoln chuckled as he stood up.
“What ?” Naomi gasped.
