Groaning, I opened my eyes, slowly, forcing them shut when I saw bright lights. Did I die and go to heaven? No, not when my intriguing journey of life was just about to begin.
Pulling myself upright, I looked around, I was in the middle of a bunk bed trying to figure out where I was. It was in a moldy, it had a few cupboards to the corner. A concrete table in the middle that has monitors, radios, and a whole lot of junk stacked on top of it, and a few buckets laying around on top of what seem to be newspapers. The water stains on the raw, cracked walls were both from last night showers, and previous rains, and that's when I remembered, No, not my life before this but last night... About me versus W.I.K.D. Somehow I survive the gunshots and the fall, even though I could still hear my bones shattering into million pieces like broken glass when my back hit the pavement. It must be them, they are the ones who saved me, but why? Staring down at my bod
W.I.K.D probably already took back the file they gave Detective Binns. And seeing how I raked up an organization of such power, pulling their strings with my very existence. They could have left me to the police, let handle a common beast, but I have a feeling I wasn't just any creature, and that spooked my interest, and I am sure Binns felt the same way. He seems like a smart man, the kind of smart that will provoke his curiosity, even if it means bending the law a little, and that's the side of him I am relying on. I am sure he made a copy of that file, he couldn't have it with him, because that would be too risky, but he would want to put it in a safe place, and that would be his house, all I have to do now is find out where he lives.Darkness has come, the sun had disappeared, and I was still not in the city, I was in the long line of travelers though, posing as one of them. Al was right, my deeds last night did enough damage and police are swarming the entr
Sitting on the edge of the bed I watched them from across the room as they tried to crack the code to Binns laptop. The inside man... I mean— the inside woman and I tied him up and gagged him, which bought us enough time to make it out of the city and back to the bunker. Al on the other hand wasn't too please about it, about her revealing herself to her superior as the mold in the department. I don't know what he thought would happen, he did send her to help me get out of a situation I don't think I could have gotten out of my self, but what made him truly upset is that he no longer had eyes or ears in the city and this made him paranoid, as he should..."They will be looking all over for you Amber," he spoke lowly,"Well let them. I am done hiding who I am, pretending to be one of them... So let it go," she hissed back,Throughout our journey back, Amber and I spoke briefly, just like Al, she has refused to
I went from walking next to Al, and Amber to falling far behind, dragging my blood-splattered body along the road following two strangers on a journey to I don't know where and I am too tired to give a damn. Because I have to be honest with myself and the truth is... I would give anything to live and not go back inside of a coffin. And I feel bad somehow because a part of me knows I am using them for protection from W.I.K.D... The police, rogue werewolves... My self. I don't know them— Amber and Al, and clearly, they didn't know me either.They kept mumbling to each other, stealing glances at me as they chat. I wonder what they were talking about, I know it's about me, but the conversation looked pretty intense, perhaps a little eavesdropping would hurt anyone,"Did you know about this Al...""How would I Amber? Don't you see how shocked I am,""You are right," Amber breath out,
"What did you do to him?" Amber flared up, listening to the steady heartbeat in Al's chest"Me?" I stared at her, in shock, how dare she blame me,"You were the one who took a healthy bite out of my arm because it was you who said, this— my blood could save him,""Yes, I did. That's before I knew I know he would be resurrected from the dead!" She threw her arm up in frustration,I didn't feel like shouting, honestly, I just wanted to know if Al was going to be ok,"What's happening to him?" I whispered,"I don't magic blood," she taunted, rolling her eyes, "He is doing fine until you popped out of nowhere, bringing your drama and baggage back into our lives. In fact... How did it happen? How did Al get shot? Huh?"I blinked a few times, knowing it my fault, and if I tell her this, she would shout at me more. But I have this feeling
"Well don't expect a medal," Amber hissed, "You were the one who got him in this situation in the first place,"That's it, I thought, enough is enough."What exactly is your problem huh? Do you think you're better than me? Because you know who you are? Well, heads up... I might not know who I am but I know this, I am not a bully and arrogant little bitch who go searching for others to blame. Yes, I had a hand in Al's misfortune and I am sorry!" I let it all out, and before she could say anything, I stormed away, running into the forest. It was dark, I know it was dangerous, I could run into W.I.K.D or whatever dangers out there for me to face, but right I didn't care, I just needed to be away from Amber.Hugging a tree, I burst out in tears, pressing my forehead against the rugged bark. All I want to do is help, I thought, but things keep getting worse, Al might be blind to it but Amber sees right through my flaws. But w
"How— how are you awake, I don't understand—""The only thing that matters is that I am here now," Al mumbled, staring at Amber, "The past is the past and we have to move on,"Sitting in the middle of the table, I noticed his perfect abs, the night was coming to an end and the factory will soon be lit up with the scorching sun, but that's not what we have to worry about. Scratching the back of my neck, my cheeks reddened as I looked away from Al's naked torso,"W.I.K.D is closing in on us, they set camps at night, move fast during the day," I swallowed hard,"And how do you know this?" Amber inquired, she didn't even try to hide her bitter tone,I thought long and hard, realizing I didn't get her name and she did mention not to tell my friends about us ever meeting, I wish to honor that request, she did save my life, twice,"I— I was o
This was him, I thought. It kept playing over and over again in the back of my head— Valdomore. This was my chance to learn about him, maybe something could trigger my memories."You do not look so surprised... I guess my name was brought up in a conversation?""Doesn't ring a fucking bell," I snarled,"Careful wolf... I know you might not remember this, but I have a... The thing for beasts with potty mouths. And that's interesting because I heard a rumor about you and your— awakening, it stirring up trouble in the underworld, and the humans,""And what?" I stared down at him, "Should I feel special?""Oh, darling but you are special... You somehow survived your execution, and even though I tried getting rid of— it, you somehow got... the gift,"What did he mean he tried getting rid of it? And what was this 'it' he is referring to?&n
After gathering bags that Al hid in nearby bushes, I have been learning a lot. Little did I know we were in the Vampire world, it is a whole other domain where vampires live, how we got in and out? Al created some sort of portal, and that's how we escaped, but the sun bought us time... The same sun Al was shedding sweat in, and not burning as we thought he would,"We should rest for a while," Al spoke, "I don't know about you guys but I could use a swim," he chuckled,We have decided to keep off the roads and stick to the forest, we have a better chance of fighting the W.I.K.D agents, rogues, and the vampires. We stumbled across a small stream and Al was enjoying the new him, Amber didn't care though, in fact, she seemed different... Quiet, I guess Valdomore had his soldiers torture her, and I understand if that might have shaken her up a bit. Another piece of important information I have learned is that Al is a day lighter, ancient va
