As James opened his mouth to speak, a smile curled out of his lips instead. He stood up from the bed and began to walk out of the room.Lorraine did not plan for any of this to happen. It has drawn on her that it wasn't James's fault that she got herself into this mess.It was all her fault, everything; all her fault. She sighed deeply.Lorraine's body suddenly fell into a pool of regret. At that moment, she realized that what she said to James was a mistake - a mistake that she hadn't intended to make.James walked his way out of the room. He wished he could just tell Lorraine lots of things she wanted to know. He didn't because he knew he would not be able to control himself. There were lots of things he should not tell her. However, it would be hard to explain all these without Sasha coming in.Lorraine ran and stood in his way. It was time to pull the girly button. She stretched her hands out, "I'm sorry, James." She was in tears by now, her voice was shaking.Although James had
James and Lorraine walked into a basement that was well decorated, with different kinds of sitting chairs. In the middle of the room, there was a not too big center table. As she and James entered, she saw five people sitting in a way that made it obvious they were in a formal meeting. "I'm sorry I'm late." James apologized as he was headed towards an empty chair to sit. He then motioned to Lorraine to also have a sit. "That's what you've been doing lately, Jimmy." A man with a laptop on his lap replied James. His tone showed he was not angry; rather, he spoke in a friendly and respectful way."What's been keeping you occupied, James?" Kayla asked glaring at Lorraine who was still standing."I've been trying to sort some things out lately and it almost skipped my mind that we were meeting today. Have a sit, Lorraine.""What is she doing here James?" David asked in a tone that carried total disapproval of the situation. James ignored the question and went ahead to introduce Lorraine t

The sun had set over the city and cast a warm golden glow over the square where a large crowd had gathered. The air was filled with murmurs as people waited for the mayor to appear. It was only in times of urgency that a gathering like this would be called. Newscasters, journalists, and TV presenters had arranged their equipment and were also waiting for the mayor.A podium had been set up at the center of the square where microphones were placed by different TV presenters, and a large banner reading "The Amazing City Of Lightwood '' hung behind the podium. Suddenly, a hush fell over the crowd as the mayor appeared, and walked elegantly to the podium, accompanied by his secretary and a young lady dressed in a formal black top tucked into a skirt. The mayor's aid – dressed in his usual unstructured blazer – followed them. With a serious expression on his face, the Mayor approached the podium and adjusted the main microphone, coughed into it to see if it was functional. He knew better
James sat in the cozy cushion by the fireplace, holding a mug of coffee and a newspaper. He flipped through the pages, scanning the headlines and skimming the articles. It was his routine to check the night publication because it contained every news that happened that day. He had always seen that as the reason why it was twice the pages of a usual newspaper. He began to flip the newspaper all over again, when he opened to the second page and he is hooked by the headline; APPOINTMENT OF A NEW SECRETARY IN LIGHTWOOD. He hadn't seen this as he was flipping through the first time, that was the thing with flipping, sometimes you miss an important information. He turned to the next page and he meets another headline related to the the one in the second page. "Lazy journalist" he mused, "why repeat a news twice in a single paper?" Then he realized it must have been an important news.It read, "THE MAYOR APPOINTS A NEW SECRETARY."He wondered what would have led to the appointment of a ne
Abigail strode into the club in a beautiful dress. She did not wear her double skin. There was no need for it here. The reasons were: it was already night and well, why would she wear a double skin when they owned the night? The mayor had given her all the things she'd need. He had even asked his aide to teach her some martial arts techniques, and she learnt fastInside the club, people danced and rocked to the music. This was her first time here. She was invited to the weekly vampire feast. She had never known that a place like this existed – she wouldn't believe it even if she was told about this place – but here she was, as an invited guest.Her urge for blood for the past few days has been insane. She almost drained a donor to death yesterday. It felt great to pierce her fangs into a human and drink directly from the veins rather than drink from a glass or a cup. At first, the mayor had told her it was a good thing, but now, her urge has gotten stronger.The scent of blood was
The sun was rising over the dense forest as James, Lorraine and Kayla came down from their car, dressed in workout clothes, and made their way through the narrow paths. The sound of birds chirping and leaves rustling under their feet filled the air as they trekked deeper into the woods.As they arrived at a clearing, James began to set up the training equipment while Lorraine offered to help, while Kayla stood, uninterested in whatever they were doing. Kayla had followed them because she had noticed how Lorraine looked at James in the meeting the day she was introduced. There was no way she'd let Lorraine create a place for herself in James' mind before her. After Sasha's death, she had promised herself that James would be hers or nobody else's. So Lorraine was a hotspot she didn't want James' WiFi to connect with. This, she was going to make sure of. She remembered when David had told her to get closer to his brother and make him forget Sasha, she had thought it would be easy, that
Abigail slowly opened her eyes and immediately jumped out of the bed as she woke up to find herself in a strange room. Strange room again, she thought. The room was unfamiliar, as she tried to remember how she had ended up there. Looking around, she noticed that the room was sparsely furnished, with only a few pieces of furniture and no personal items. She tried to recall how she had gotten there, but her head was hazy. Then, a flash of memory hit her, and she gasped. She remembers being at the club, the fight with the vampire guy and the hunting she had gone through.Last night, she and the man that had taken her to hunt walked back to town when they had had their fun. He had brought to his home and she had ended up in his bed, naked. They had hit it off last night. She remembered kissing him when everything else was happy moments afterwards.She saw her clothes laying on the floor, and she began to gather them. At least she needed to know what the man's name was but he was nowhere
