Luciano

There was a knock on my door, I knew who it was before it opened. Father had come to see me. I wouldn't have been able to guess why if I hadn't been the one to spur the chain of events that led to this event.

He walked in, not bothering to wait for my call to come in. He pulled the chair opposite me and sat down, a look of doom on his face.

“If no one knows it, I do. Why did you do it?" He asked me, his eyes not leaving mine.

That was one thing I hated about how he treated me, like I was a kid that couldn't make a decision, I was a century old, I was capable of decisions that wouldn't put us in doom.

I shrugged nonchalantly, “Because it was the right one. They had challenged us for too long and with no consequences, if we had made no move, it would have continued and our rule would have been undermined”

I could see that father already knew this, he was only trying to keep the merciful king's front which I hated. He was far from merciful, he had wiped out thousands who ha

    DamonI left his office after that. Don had come to give him some urgent information that had come. I used that opportunity to leave him. His words and actions hadn't left my head, it was still there. What he had told me. The date he wanted me to come on. I knew my answer. There wasn't enough time to say no but it was that and he knew that. I wouldn't be coming. I didn't want to come. He wouldn't string me back in. I fell on my bed as soon as I reached my room, taking a breath of relief. The tension that had been in my body when I was with him, naturally went away. He always made me nervous, this strange feeling in my bones and heart. The way he made everything in my body dysfunctional, I hated it. I began to pack my things so I could distract myself. He was on my mind constantly. Tomorrow we would be leaving and there was already little time left. It was late afternoon already, we would soon have lunch. After which I planned for a walk about and then after that it would be dinn

    DamonWhen I woke up, I felt an energy that was charged and familiar. I didn't need to see him to know that he had arrived. Luciano was back. It was confirmed when Juliet knocked on the door to say that breakfast would be earlier because the boss was here and I had only thirty minutes to get ready. Today was supposed to be the last day. After that, by morning we would be getting ready to be on our way. This mini vacation had been quite relaxing, I didn't anticipate going back. I took a shower before changing into my clothes for the day. Since it was warmer, I felt more comfortable to wear something that was light. I took my phone and headed out, going to the dining room. I met a few of my colleagues, especially Bethany, so we both walked together. “He came back fast. I wonder why he had to leave so suddenly" she speculated to me as we walked. I shrugged, not saying anything because the truth was deeper than any of them could imagine. When we arrived at the dining room, we took o

    Luciano As soon as I left the house with Tristan, I asked him to go ahead while I took a detour. I didn't want to head straight there because whoever among us was playing this game was about to make a mistake. Instead, I went to where most of the hunters usually lay low. As I pulled into the driveway of the house I noticed its emptiness. Maybe they had left here, in anticipation of my arrival. I walked out of my car and towards the door, it was locked shut of course and the inside was dead silent. Without attempting to knock first, I broke the door down and walked inside. The sitting room was large, one that usually held in a lot of people I assumed. Inside, there was no sign of life. Everywhere was clean, so tidy like a soul didn't stay here. I listened for anything but silence met me. I went up the stairs where most of the main rooms were. With each door I opened I was met with emptiness. It seemed I had judged wrong and this house was empty. Making sure that upstairs was ind

    DamonWe had dinner that night without the presence of Luciano. I could hear some of them wondering among themselves why he wasn't here. I didn't say anything out loud because I was wondering the same too. It seemed strange that he would just leave. Unless of course something happened. Maybe something had gone wrong. Which was why he had met me so quickly and left just as quick. That explained that. He hadn't even sent a text. Nothing to say that he was leaving and when he would be coming back, if he was going to come back because I didn't expect so. Dave leaned in closer to speak to me. “I wonder if he had to leave because of something he couldn't speak about" I knew from his tone what he meant. I turned to look at him, wondering what to respond to that. I chose a shrug, “Well, I don't really care about any of that. He's the boss after all" He smiled and looked away, back to whom he had been speaking about. I hadn't sensed any malicious intent in his voice so I shook my doubts

    Luciano Just after we had finished the race, Tristan had come to me. The look on his face wasn't one that was pleasant or happy even. He was about to tell me what the issue was but then Don had to make an announcement and I had to follow next. I quickly gave a congratulatory speech and said something about the gifts. My eyes hadn't left Damon for a minute since I had arrived here. After so many weeks of being away, I was glad to see him again. He was nervous about everyone finding out the truth but I didn't know how to tell him not to worry about it. Nobody would know because I made sure they wouldn't. After saying congratulations, I went straight to where Tristan sat and pulled him aside. He needed to tell me what the issue was or I wouldn't be able to relax. He didn't look me in the eye when he said it. “A group of our vampires were killed earlier today sir. Killed brutally, they were hunters" he said. My eyes immediately went up to meet him. I began to blaze with anger and r

    DamonI jumped down from the house and began to run around, screaming my lungs out in happiness. It wasn't that this was a professional race or anything but it had been so long since I had raced. I didn't even think I had it in me anymore. It was a surprise, a pleasant one that I had won. I could hear the shouts behind me, coming from my coworkers as well. I turned back around and ran back towards them. Some of them ran to me as well, carrying me up like I had won a medal or trophy. You would think this was a very vital competition. Once the celebration wore off, I took the horses back to the stable and went to sit with everyone else. They high fived me as I took my seat. There was a huge smile on my face since I couldn't hold my happiness back. This wasn't an important win per say but it had raised my spirits. My eyes met his amidst all the talk and conversation, he had a proud smile on his face, one that he sent towards me along with a wink. I looked away quickly before anybod
