CHAPTER 1
9 am at Vrykolakas’ Museum…
People were busy on taking a tour in the museum, while the owner Blake was inside his office, on the fourth floor, he was in his seat and behind him were walls and door that was made by glasses, it has a balcony outside, for him to take a look what’s on the lower grounds, He could see every movement and people below him.
He was gritting his teeth and trying hard to forget about sucking human’s blood, he was sad and worried.
Pocco knocked to his office but no one was answering so he entered the office and saw him, quietly sitting on his chair, his head was leaning on his chair head-guide, and just looking at the ceiling, tapping his fingers on his lap, it was a sign of him being anxious about something.
Pocco felt sorry for him, “Are you okay, Blake? It was only a self-defence,” Pocco said, his friend, trying to comfort him, yet he kept spacing out and not focusing on what Pocco was telling him.
“Blake?” he yelled, it vibrated inside his ears which waken up his senses; and brought him back to reality, he turned around his chair and faced him.
“You’re breaking my eardrums, Pocco,’’ he whispered as he rubbed his ears, his sense of being a vampire was extraordinary, he could hear even a whisper, and Pocco’s screamed definitely hurt his ears.
Pocco sighed in relief when he finally caught his friend’s attention. “Well, stop spacing out there, I’m worried about you.’’ he frowned.
“I’m fine, I just needed time to be alone,” he explained … “But, Blake…’’ he paused. Pocco was worried about his friend but he doesn’t want to disturb him. He said goodbye and left the office. Blake was not doing his work properly since the incident happened. The museum looked dead when he’s not okay.
A week ago, … The incident…
It was dark and quiet outside the City; all buildings were closed and all lights were turned off. Blake was walking towards home because he doesn’t have his car with him, he was rushing earlier and took a taxi for it takes time for his car to be fixed. While walking quietly in the dark, he suddenly heard a woman screaming in the dark street. He paused, peaking at the place where he heard the screams. Blake was surprised by what he saw… A man was gripping the woman’s neck and pointing his knife on her stomach as he harassed the woman, kissing her on her neck, thirsty.
He was afraid that something might happen to her and calling the police would be waste of time because they would surely come when everything was done, the police station was miles away from the incident, the time calculation won’t make it, and the victim was already in the centre of death. The criminal was now pointing the knife at her neck, making sure she would keep her mouth shut as he continued harassing her. Being a vampire, he could go near them in just a blink of an eye. He was like a wind when he went near them, you could not even notice him with your bare eyes when he does that, it was one of his abilities as a VAMPIRE.
The criminal and the victim were shocked by his sudden appearance, they didn’t notice him. The woman cried, she was glad that someone came to help her, but she was still worried because she could only see a thin yet tall young man, she wondered if she could beat the guy who was thrice bigger than him, especially that he has no weapon.
“How dare you disturb me when I’m not even finished and just starting to feel good,.,’’ he glared at him as he let go of the woman’s neck.
“Gross!” he spitted out.
The man was annoyed at the way he let out that word as if he was laughing at him.
“How dare you interrupt me and have the guts to say that!” he groaned.
The man kept attacking him over and over again, but he only dodging all his attacks. Blake has incredible strength and speed but he wasn’t using it to harm people, but then he got distracted when he saw the woman was still on her feet, shaking and speechless, he was careless and he got stabbed, that it almost reached his heart a bit, it wasn’t that deep but it could make him weak.
He was not worried about his wound, being immortal…it would soon heal, but it takes time, what’s he’s worried about more was the girl. “Damn girl! You should have run away when you have the chance,’’ he uttered as he glared at her.
He fell on the ground with one knee, trying to help his body, his vision went blurry but he could still see what was happening, his hands tightened like stones as he saw the criminal went near her, he was about to stab her and because he was weak and couldn’t control himself, he flew as fast as he could and he did what he had never done before.
His eyes went red, pangs slowly formed in his mouth and he didn’t notice himself biting the man’s neck, and began sucking his blood. His blood cells began to circulate too fast inside him, he felt strange but he somehow felt stronger and satisfied, he felt good that he even closed his eyes as he continued tasting his blood.
He kept sucking the blood… non-stop, the man’s eyes began to roll as he could barely move… his body was shaking and held Blake’s head tightly but he felt weak and he let go of it.
Blake just realized what he did when the man fell down and the woman was staring at her with trembling hands and feet, speechless. The girl wanted to run away but her feet went numb. He didn’t know what to do, him, himself was also shocked by what he just did until a police patrol came and saw them.
His heart was beating too fast when the police were asking them what happened, but thanks to the woman who explained to them that she got harassed and he just saved her, she even showed them his stab, she explained everything except the fact that he was a vampire.
The incident was troubling Blake for a week, he never sucks human blood before, and he admitted that the moment his pangs went inside that man’s flesh, his flesh was starting to enjoy it and he wouldn’t want to let him go not until he loses all his blood, his body wanted the man’s inside to be dried up, thanks to the woman who distracted him, or else he would never stop.
He frowned as he looked at his reflection in the mirror.
“Blood…blood…blood!” his own mind was whispering to him, he tried to stop the whisperer but it lived inside his brain, it wouldn’t go away. His body wanted more human blood, he couldn’t understand, he never craved for human’s blood before but the moment he tasted it, his body started begging for it, he even wanted to devour their organs until no flesh and blood would remain.
“What should I do now?” he whispered.
Another week has passed. Blake couldn’t stop his body’s desire.
He was busy talking to the tourist guide, Shiera, one of his friends at the same time she was also in charge of his Museum, she discussed with her about the new displayed art that he discovered thousand years ago. Shiera was wearing a floral off-shoulder top that almost reveals her front. He already told her not to wear such clothes yet she didn’t listen, telling him that it could help attracts tourists. While speaking to her, his eyes caught the woman’s neck, she could see her heavy sweats and breathing because of the hot weather, her sexy collar bone was indeed seducing but it was not the thing that was calling his attention. He swallowed like he was thirsty. He looked at her and suddenly rolled his eyes, “Let’s discussed this another time,’’ he said, sweating.
Shiera laughed at his expression and said, “See… even you couldn’t resist not look at my body…’’ she paused… “Blake,’’ she added in a teasing voice, giggling inside her mind.
“Stop daydreaming, Shiera, I rather suck your blood than being seduced,’’ he whispered.
“What did you say?’’ she confusedly asked and Blake drew out a teasing chuckle.
He clenched his hands into a fist and went straight to his office, getting rid of his cravings.
“What do you want?” he talked to himself. He was having a hard time battling with his body’s desire, sucking human blood was against his will, but he did it. He hated himself, he was only fortunate that Veronica, the girl he saved never told anyone what she saw and shut her mouth for his sake. She was the only human being who knew his identity as a vampire.
While Blake was busy spacing out, he heard a sudden chaos under the ground floor, he went near the balcony and looked down. Although he was standing on the 4th floor, his eyes were too sharp that he could see clearly what’s on the ground like he was using a binocular.
The place was crowding something, there were too many people that he couldn’t see what they looking at. He was about to ignore them but then he got worried that some of the antiques of the museum may be got broken, so he hurried downstairs and walk through the crowd.
Walking through th crowd, “Excuse me,’’ he kept whispering and then he saw Shiera.
“What happened?” he asked Sheira, who was spacing out at her feet.
“Sir, there is a naked woman suddenly appeared, we didn’t notice where she came from, she may be a crazy woman who lost her direction,’’ she explained to Blake.
Question marks were painted on his face. “Crazy woman, wasn’t it was you? What kind of nonsense is that?’’ he said as he kept looking at the woman’s strange look.
“Naked woman? What are you talking about, Shiera?” he added and Shiera began to explain.
Blake was confused about what was Shiera was trying to tell him for her voice was stammered that he barely understood every each of her words… So, instead of trying to understand her, he looked at where the aforementioned woman was. He then saw a man, one of the bodyguards, covering a woman with his jacket, and when he went near them, he saw a beautiful lady, she was thin and her skin was as white as snow, and her lips are red as strawberries, and he got a pair of wonderful green eyes.
He looked seriously at her, scanned her from head to toe, and wonder why she was there, naked, he thought that she might be got harassed by someone, but... “How could a man take off all of her clothes that instant without people knowing... but the main question is; how did she come in and past the guards outside?” he focused his eyes on her more.
When he scanned the young woman’s body, he found no scar and if she was crazy like what Shiera thought, he doubts it because her skin was completely clean, no dirt, and her hair was completely okay. And if someone harrassed her, he couldn't as well saw any sign of it, no scar no any details to proved that. What only bothered him was her actions, how the woman looked at the things around her was odd, she even looked at her hands, looked confused, as if she had never seen one before, nor did she know that she’s a human?
The bodyguards put the woman inside the guard’s office as they continued to investigate how did she get in while Blake was inside the CCTV room trying to check the footage, where they saw her, alone, while waiting for the other guards who tried to check if someone was suspicious, maybe the one who did it is still on the area.
Blake kept forwarding the footage until the footage showed the exact time when the incident happened, then he immediately stood up in enormous surprise. “What the heck is this?” he whispered when he saw where the girl came from, she didn’t enter the museum with her bare feet, she didn’t even go through the gate, instead… there was a light that brought her inside, the light disappeared and she came out like a ghost. Blake was surprised by what he saw, and he knew that the woman was not a human being.
“Is she a vampire?” he thought but he knew vampires were different from her, in her case he knew that she was something!
Blake hurriedly copied the footage on a flash drive he saw near the table and deleted the copy before the guards could view the footage. He didn’t want to let them know what happened, because it could only spread rumors, besides he wanted to investigate about it, alone.
“Did you saw what happened, sir?” asked one of the bodyguards.
He got startled and quickly took the flash drive secretly as he stood up from the stool to face the bodyguard.
Acting like mad and serious, “No, the CCTV might have a problem it didn’t record anything,’’ he lied.
The bodyguard was confused because the CCTV was working but when he checked the recording files there was empty. Blake made sure that he deleted everything that the CCTV recorded since morning on that day, to make it looked like nothing was recorded that day, because if he only deleted the time where the woman appeared, he knew that they will suspect it, that was indeed suspicious.
“Made sure you ask a technician to fixed it,’’ he said in a serious tone and acted cool as he strode away from the office, and the guard nodded, yet still confused about what happened to the CCTV’s.
“Where is she?” Blake asked where the woman was when he crossed paths with John, their Janitor.
“In the security office, sir,” John replied.
Blake went to that office and when he saw her, questions began to play around his mind.
“Who are you? No… What are you?” his mind thought as he kept staring at her.
CHAPTER 2 The maids were busy with Evangeline, they were in the living room with Evangeline, they were like kids who were playing dress-up to a doll, all of them admired her beauty and her skin, which was too soft and white. “Oh my gosh, you’re beautiful,’’ one of the maids, Claire, yelled in admiration as she hugged Evangeline, Blake laughed secretly as he watched the maids’ reactions to her look. Claire was enjoying braiding her hair while the other maids were worried what Blake’s reactions about it because Claire was too much into her. Claire was only an 18years old, and seeing Evangeline’s beauty sparkled her eyes that she wanted to see how can she turned her into a Goddess, and she was even applying make-up on Evangeline’s face. The maids tried to stop her, but when they saw how Evangeline slowly transformed into a Goddess, they were all praising and helping Claire, suggesting what color should they used for her eye-shadow. Blake coughed and all of
CHAPTER 3 It was 6 am in the morning. Blake was busy sipping his coffee as he walked towards the garden when he heard a giggling voice from behind him, and there he saw Claire and Evangeline outside, seating on the seat bank, putting their heads down the flowers, smelling and loving the fragrance coming through the flowers. “They look like best friends,’’ he whispered and he couldn’t take off of his eyes on them. No matter how much he tried to look away he ended up stealing gazes at them until it no longer a quick look but a long stare. He saw Claire comb Evangeline’s hair and freaked out the moment he remembered about her tattoo, so he immediately jumped on his feet towards them but he was too late, Claire was already braiding her hair and he was halfway near them. Claire's eyes looked at him in horror when she saw him running in a hurry towards them, his face was red, gasping as if he has just seen a ghost. “Sir, Blake… what
CHAPTER 4 At the time that Blake got home, he heard a sudden banging from the inside. He hurried to pull out his keys and opened the door just to found out darkness was eaten the whole room. “Why the hell the lights are off!’’ he said and his feet could feel something on the floor. He senses something unusual was happening. He switched on the lights and what popped out before his eyes was a mess, a mess you wouldn’t dare to imagine. The place was flooded by water and things were scattered on the ground. “What’s going on here?’’ he spoke to one’s mind and breathed heavily as he slowly entered the place, he thought that someone may be broke in, he was worried that something happened to the woman but he should be careful, the breakers might still be inside, then moment later he heard another bang from the kitchen. He tiptoed inside and saw the place was dark, when he roamed around, his eyes caught the only light lighting the place, and there he saw the woman in front of
CHAPTER 5 Veronica was busy cleaning her up while Blake did all the cleaning of the house. With his incredible speed, he could put back the way the things to where they were before in just a few minutes. Veronica went down the stairs, giggling which caught his attention… “Why are you laughing?’’ his husky voice asked as he looked in their directions, they were walking down the stairs. Veronica scanned his face, “Why are your woman’s clothes being all look like a doll dress?’ she smirked and chuckled escaped from Blake’s lungs the moment he looked at Evangeline. Clearing his throat, trying not to smile, “It was the previous maids’ fault… they treated her like a doll. Plus…” he looked at Veronica in a glare like a blade, sharped and fearless… He sighed and continues, “Take note, Veronica, she’s NOT… NOT my woman, as I told you I’m only interested about what she was,’’ he answered. “Well, couldn’t blame them, she really l
Flying down like a thunderstorm, which was impossible for an ordinary person to see him coming, Abu got in the entrance."Kram, it's been days yet we never heard about, Evangeline," Abu asked as he entered the Castle and walked too fast towards the Archangel immediately, and all the butterflies around him stayed near him, and looked afraid.Kram was busy and then frowned when he heard and saw Abu. He sighed and told the Guardians of the Castle to left him alone with Abu... The Guardians then nodded their heads and bowed down before leaving them.As Kram faced Abu, he responded to his question, "It's not yet too, late, Abu. There is still time, I know she can do it..." he explained yet Abu looked at the Archangel with despondency in his eyes."But what if she will only remember her duty after one hundred days?... Archangel, I know that you know already what I meant... are you not worried that she can not go back here? You won't even touch her before she di
Chapter 7"Stomach in, chin up, and walk straight as feminine as you could," Veronica kept saying as she held a ruler and pointed it on her stomach as she kept demonstrating to her what to do. But then Emerald only stare at her like a child who was confused about what she was doing but after a period of time and patience, Veronica managed to let her imitate her movements."Good girl, that's what I like..." Veronica drew a wide smile as she inspected Emerald who was slowly imitating her; following her composure and fierce."Chin up," she said in a low voice as she placed the ruler below Emerald's chin."Walk... and smile..." she stretched her hands to gave Emerald a space to walk forward."Wait!" she stopped her from walking and put a book above her head and the same with her. She tried to explain to her as best as she could to understand that she should not let the book fell on the ground without holding it. It was hard especially
CHAPTER 8 Emerald was astounded identical to Blake's reaction as he realized what he did. His eyes looked down in remorse, while Emerald kept her eyes on him. Emerald began to felt troubled by how her heart reacted, how it pounded and what her mind was thinking but couldn't let out words to ask. Blake took a deep sigh and glanced back at her, "I must be crazy... You better get rest, Emerald," he said and lead her to her room. As Emerald watched him close the door, she was still bothered by the feeling she has inside. It was love but due to her condition, she couldn't understand the emotions she has at the moment. Playing the scenes inside her head, she felt joy and somehow an embarrassment. The next day, the moment she got out of her door, Blake was as well just came out his door and they were inches away from each other. Blake looked away immediately, too obvious that he felt uncomfortable yet Emerald just looked at him, tryi
Chapter 9Sheira was smiling broadly as she flipped open her face powder, looking at its mini mirror she smirked, "I'm gonna make you mine, Blake," she murmured making the people around her think she was gone crazy, whispering all alone by herself as she waited for Blake to come. She put on red lipstick, extremely red as blood making sure she looked hot and alluring.As the time flies, Sheira began to become impatient, she texted Blake earlier the name of the restaurant where they should meet after going home early to prepare for the date, but he was still not there."He won't break his promise, doesn't he?" she said."Sorry, I'm late..." the voice said behind her and she immediately smirked devilishly and seductively turned around to him just to found out it was not Blake but Pocco."The heck, Pocco? What are you doing here?" she grumbled.Pocco was stun
