What murderous job would you have me do?

last update Last Updated: 2021-12-30 01:18:37

The idea of going to hunt down the witch that killed Dan was very thrilling. Hell, everyone looked excited like they were attending a party with free booze, only that the major booze vampires chug down is blood.

"Wait! Even though I don't understand a thing y'all are blabbing about. Can you at least help me up so I can be on my merry way?" Blondie's voice interrupted our brief merriment.

Dad brought out his checkbook and gave the blondie a hundred thousand dollars cheque.

"Okay, what murderous job do you want me to do?" Blondie stared wide-eyed at father and the cheque and pretended to shoot himself in the head.

"Forget everything you saw today, forget about losing your job and go start a new life out of LA." Dad compelled the blondie who stood up and looked like his memory was severed before sauntering out of our sight without a word.

Mind compulsion is another benefit we enjoy as vampires. It is the ability of immortals like vampires and hybrids to control the mind of another through eye contact. We have the ability to erase the victim's memory or even alter them. That way, we can feed on the locals easily and compel them to forget without getting a backlash or an uproar from the human faction.

Witches also have the power to compel with the help of magic and spells. Talking about witches, they used to practice their magic at the cemetery before father banned it. The cemetery is a sacred ground where they can easily connect with their ancestors and have full access to their ancestral magic. So they live and worship the Hollywood cemetery which happens to be one of the oldest yet historical cemeteries in LA.

The burial ground has housed many citizens but it is specifically being used by the LA coven of witches who require access to their ancestor's consecrated remains in order to continue their magic. It maintains a kind of connection and balance between the supernatural realm and the physical realm. As a result, it is a sacred ground, and vampires are not allowed in unless when invited in by a witch.

"I really don't understand why we are meeting with Bastiana?!" Hilda pouted and punched the bricks of the cemetery.

"You know what they say about friends and enemies?" Dad cocked a brow at an indifferent Hilda.

"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer?" I raised my chin and studied the environment of the cemetery. The gate was opened but we couldn't step in because of the boundary spell. Everywhere is eerie silent and there is no creature in sight.

"Correct. I know you always inherited your smartness from me." Dad ruffled my hair and gave me a cheeky smile that revealed his deep-rooted dimples.

"I hope you know I'm standing right here?" Mom frowned at us.

"What were you saying about enemies and friends and how is that related to Bastiana?" Suzy blew her gum loudly to draw attention to her.

"We don't know who our real enemy is and in order to get a fair fight we must make an ally with a witch who has a common goal with us."

"And how do you know our wants are aligned?" I quirked a brow.

"If an ancient witch resurrects it means Bastiana's position as an elder will be revoked because two captains can't lead a ship."

"And we need all the magical protection we can get from the black magic practitioner in order to win." Mom squared her shoulders.

"Wow, why does this feel like a war is brewing?" I shivered.

"Because a war is actually brewing. No one comes to my town, breaks my rules, and goes Scot free. This is my town and my rules shall stand so long I exist."

"I'm doing this for Daniel. If the bloody witch wants war then let's make sure  she is the casualty." I said.

Bastiana finally made it towards the gate and invited us in.

"Sorry I was late. I had to take care of something."

"Why don't you save the apologies and  talk to your ancestors to snuff the life out of this murderous witch roaming around my city?" Dad balled his hands into fists.

"They are helping him. The ancestors are angry and they want revenge." She breathed out.

"Him? I thought blondie said it was a woman?" I queried.

"She must have been an accomplice." Suzy answered.

"Lucindo D Aboville. The french warlock, Marshall the great killed in the year 1273."

"Well, looks like you came from a lineage of psychos. But how do we take the madman down?" I rolled my eyes.

"I'm afraid he is unstoppable." Bastiana's chest rose and fell with rapid breath.

"What do you mean by unstoppable?" Suzy crushed her lollipop and furrowed her brows.

"He is a thousand years old and he is a lot more stronger since the ancestors are with him. He doesn't back down from revenge and he will do nothing till he achieves this purpose. He is dangerously evil." Bastiana said with widening eyes that depicted terror.

This isn't the beginning of another war between the vampires and the witches. This is war itself and no one will be safe from the roaming ancient warlock.

    It has been twenty-four hours since the incident happened. The FBI visited the murder scene and tapped the place as a district area. They found only Amanda's corpse with her fangs retracted and her claws removed. We left them with the brain-tasking job of finding out what kind of monster she is and why she was killed in that horrific way.Hilda's corpse was placed in a wooden coffin made with the finest and darkest shade of brown with a huge 'H' accessory adorning it. Her body was placed in there with the cover opened while we mourned her. She was a great warrior and a friend. She had the best intentions for all with a weird way of showing emotions. But from her history of what happened a century again, we understood her better."Come!" Suzy beckoned on me. For the first time in history, she wasn't wearing a skimpy outfit. She was draped in a long black gown to honor Hilda. An effort I commended. I was impressed with her character development."I stood up from the liv

Cedric's baritone thundered as he walked into my room, wiping his blood-stained mouth with the hem of a shirt."Don't ask me how the hell it happened, I'm still feeling guilty enough about what happened yesterday." She held her hands up before mumbling, "It is mental torture, I feel like I'm going crazy." She said to herself."We could probably blame it on the excessive vodka she had yesterday night after opening up to you both." Cedric plopped on the edge of my bed."Or maybe it was the club. It was probably the strobing lights of the nightclub and repetitive doof doof of the bass that triggered some form of chemical reaction in her brain, causing her to make a rash decision all of a sudden." I furrowed my brows at the both of them, lost in thoughts.

  • Blood and spells   It is a do or die affair

    Sunbeam crept into my room bit by bit before gradually illuminating my room as the soft golden diffuse rays settled on my face, waking me in the process and disrupting my much more craved slumber."Hilda, I have made hot coffee, fried yummy eggs, and pancakes, and picked up fresh apples for you from the garden." Mom's voice reverberated around the house."Thanks mother," I said begrudgingly and used my pillow to shield my face."Come downstairs right now and come and have breakfast before I come in using formula B for you." She called out again, this time around with a threat."Five more minutes mom, just five and I will be at the dining." The shrilling sound of a voice made me jump up from my bed in nightmare. It was my mother dressed in her pajamas, singing God knows what while my eardrums bled and cried in agony. Her skin glowed in the presence of sunlight and she looked pretty chic for a woman of forty-five years."Stop ma, you are hurting my ears,

  • Blood and spells   Tell me, have you ever been skinned alive?

    ♥Suzy's POV♥Usually I'm not always one to get involved in things that don't concern my life, my family, and Elena, but seeing Amanda trying so hard to get Hilda to bury the hatchet made me want to contribute although I can't tell if it's because of her alluring beauty or her soft voice but the fact remains unchanged and that is she is willing to make amends so Hilda should give her the benefit of the doubt and move on with her."When I screamed harder, I meant the sex and not the entire relationship, Amanda, you fucked me up." Hilda paced around her room, throwing things around and breaking fragile objects like the painting of a mermaid in ceramic porcelain we got from china two hundred years ago and that hurt me to my bone marrow."And that is why I will always apologize, I'm sorry Hilda, at least invite me in so you can see that I have changed." Her tender baritone pleaded."I don't invite cunning foxes to my home, leave my window side and let me

It blossoms upon the cloud like a sweet wild clover bloom with a flourish of romance. The sky tinges a vibrant orange glow and a glossy gold upon the horizon as the evening casts her dusky gown."C'mon everyone, hurry into my brand new whip!" Hilda beckoned on everyone as we exited the quarter. "Nice whip!" Tiana said as she caressed the cream-colored car that must have cost thousands of dollars. "I know right!" Hilda grinned, revealing her white translucent pair of teeth."Wow! Hilda, did you buy a Lamborghini Urus? She is gorgeous." I took a step back slowly to admire the car. The details of the car screamed of pure grandeur. The tyre was well crafted with layers of shar
