Chapter 20 Ardent Pursuit
“Nimue, I’ll be back as soon as I can,” said Adrienne looking at her back while her friend Nimue has Rune comfortably sitting on her lap.
The godmother and the toddler were sitting on a couch with Nimue holding a picture book for Rune to read.
She had to go to the market to buy food for their lunch thinking if she needed to bring Rune or not with her to the market when Nimue happened to drop in her house and nonchalantly volunteered to look after his son.
Adrienne reached for the doorknob and opened the door.
She was greeted with more than a surprise to see the pavement from the gate to her door were aligned in thick columns of every kind of red flowers, from tulips to roses, to orchids, to carnations, to starflowers, every red-colored bloom that Adrienne can think and named of, beautifully displayed on basket woven containers. Even the ground had red and pink petals scattered everywhere.
“Miss Mallory?” asked a young man with curl

"Alaric!!!!!!!” screamed Adrienne as she watched the raven-haired young man open the gate and walk towards her in a nonchalant stride of his long legs. “You impossible man!” “So, you finally admit that you missed me, witch?” Alaric’s cool demeanor irritated Adrienne so much, she stomped her feet and slammed the door to his face when he was about to reach her at arm’s length. “What are you doing, Adrienne? Why did you slam the door in my face?” He asked rapping on the front door. “Aren’t you supposed to run and kiss me upon seeing me in flesh after a month’s absence?” Alaric said behind the closed door. “You are impossible!” she exclaimed in a high-pitched voice. Adrienne crossed her arms and braced herself. She was so ready to punch and kick the vampire who created her a month’s worth of blood and gore. “You really think I would jump into you in an embrace upon seeing you, Alaric?” Adrienne asked, her voic

“What are you doing, Adrienne? Why are you not going down yet?” Alaric’s cold voice broke Adrienne’s reverie as she looked at the magnificent castle before her. She was looking at the towers and turrets of the castle and the red curtain drawn behind the large windows of the castle. She’s now back in Acheron Castle. Nothing appeared to have changed around it but she felt cold at the thought and the sight of it. Adrienne turned away and shifted her gaze instead at Alaric who quietly observed her. “Sorry,” she murmured and stepped down the carriage. She waited for Alaric to go down while he was holding Rune in his arms.“Home!” Rune gleefully smiled as he looked at the big castle in front of him. “Do you like it, son?” Alaric asked Rune as he adjusted his hold of him. Rune nodded repeatedly to Alaric’s face showing his agreement with his dada. “Let me carry him, Alaric,” said Adrienne stretching her arms tow

Life inside Acheron Castle resumed normal after the return of the master and mistress of the castle and the young master. Every breakfast, lunch, and dinner the family was gathered in the dining hall to share meals together. Alaric would always have his usual cup of coffee and a toast and bacon and eggs on his plate while Adrienne had her usual cup of tea, a boiled egg and a slice of fruit. While the unruly bubble, Rune would have his cup of milk and porridge and slice of fruit, too, on his table. Every breakfast they were together and so were lunch where Alaric would on most days liked to have steak served on his plate which Rune the little tyke also developed liking to, especially when the steak is bloodier than usual. This is one of the most behavior the kid had had mirrored of his father. “Don’t you think, Rune is becoming more and more of you every day, Alaric?” asked Adrienne as she plucked a globe of grape and put it in her mouth.

“We shall hold a big wedding, Adrienne.”Alaric said in a loud and clear voice as he and Adrienne talked in the drawing-room.If that was merely talking that is, for Adrienne and Alaric had been arguing and constantly opposing each other for the past minutes about the details of the wedding.Alaric insisted on the grand wedding while Adrienne would rather have a simple one.“Alaric, I would very much like a simpler affair for this union,” said Adrienne in a cut clear tone. “If you can remember we didn’t even get to hold the grand wedding back three years ago, so what’s the point of it now?”“The point, witch, is what was three years ago was a bridge under the water. It was postponed because of unforeseen circumstances which I wasn’t able to finish in due time, thus, was delayed.”Alaric explained looking at Adrienne who was seated across him on the other sofa.Adrie

Thana Allison’s threat to Alaric couldn’t have been more than a feeble attempt of a defeated vampiress over the throne of queenship in the vampire society had there not been rigorous news of witch exploitations in the surrounding cities around Emrick City where other witches live supposedly peaceful lives until their lives were put in danger and more witches were being killed every day. It was as if to deliver a message that a wronged vampiress will not admit defeat despite the vampire whom the vampiress had long been chasing in pursuit no longer even caring about her existence. On the other hand, while the threat and slay of Thana Allison’s cruelty against the witches weren’t headline stories in Immortals Daily for names of lesser ranked vampires were the ones thrown into questions and inquisitions of these putrid matters, Alaric Emrick must be the only vampire in the society to know who was behind those recent news. If not the witch beside him who also had an i

Sebastian appeared before Alaric and Adrienne as they were having breakfast in the dining hall. He just received a letter from the front delivered by an early postman. “A mail is delivered to you, my lord,” said Sebastian as he gave him the letter on the tray. A folded newspaper was placed beside it. Alaric looked at it with disinterest as he sliced his bacon on his plate. “Can’t it wait, Sebastian? I’m having breakfast.” He asked and forked the bacon and put it in his mouth. He took a slice of bread and spread mayo on it. “It sounds urgent my lord. But, please check it once you have breakfast.” Sebastian said and nodded to him and retreated to the back standing. Adrienne took the newspaper from the tray and unfolded it in front of her. Her face scowled upon reading the news. More Witches Found Dead In Maywitch “Three more witches were found dead in Maywitch this morning as residents of the village were wa

Both Alaric and Adrienne stared at Aunt Isobel.Alaric stopped slicing the steak he had on his plate. Adrienne stayed beside the chair holding it by the frame. She slowly went to sit down beside her aunt.Adrienne faced her aunt.“But, I thought you came here so you can spend some time with us, Aunt Isobel?” asked Adrienne puzzled. “What happened?”“Do you have any plans aside from staying here, Aunt Isobel?”Alaric asked as he continued to slice his food on his plate.“You can stay with us as much as you want. As long as you want.”Aunt Isobel looked at the couple before she spoke. She smiled at them.“As much as I would like to stay here until all these are over, your mom, Adrienne, Edana also wrote to me and asked me to stay with her. She asked me if I would like to visit Transylvania and I think now is the good time to travel to that country and spend my time

The bats kept coming flying above the gate once Aunt Isobel left in the carriage. The sound of the retreating horses from her carriage disappeared. Bats however zoomed in. They flew circling the towers and turrets of the Acheron castle. Their wings were flapping above and their squeaking noise was heard all around. It was supposed to be morning but with the gray clouds above them and the sudden rumbling of the sky on the horizon, it almost felt like dusk was soon to fall to the ground. And rain might be in the next couple of minutes. "What are all these bats swimming above the castle, Alaric?" Adrienne asked alarmed and uncertain as she looked up at the sky turning her eyes to the castle. "They're coming." Alaric said with foreboding. "Who are they that you are talking about?" she asked once more watching Alaric calmly looking at the bats above them. "Thana's associates, her family, the Society." And to further answer Adrienne's questions, carriages she'd never seen before ente
