CHAPTER 22 — FOLLOW YOUR INSTINCTS.
SUNDAY
If anyone had told me that I would get a second, stranger visit with the higher court, I would have said they were lying. But this time I was merely a subject of examination.
They had peered into my mind countless times with their intrusive mind’s-eye. The feeling they gave me was like a great blanket was thrown over your brain, preventing you from communicating with any other part of your body—they said they did it that way so I wouldn't be distracted.
You couldn't move your limbs, see through your eyes or even hear sounds around you, it only lasted about a second in reality though it could feel like hours had passed. It was a good thing that they could only see the memories you held and strongly focused on, so I pushed any thought of Dawn whatsoever to the furthest part of my mind.
East valley was dubbed that because the main road between the two forest areas was significantly lower than the surrounding trees. It was like a valley at

SAME DAYI liked the way Tia brushed her thumb against my skin but the question was if I actually loved her. I could have fallen in love her and was just deceiving myself that I didn't actually love her, no, the way I felt around Tia could not be compared to the way I felt around Dawn. Dawn made me feel more alive, more real like she brought me from two-dimension to three-dimension. I loved her.We drove for another boring ten minutes before the minivan finally eased to a stop. Tia was gently stroking my neck with her left hand as I leaned my head on her left shoulder."Everyone stay in, Jereum you can come with," Jhan said, before he stepped out and Jereum stepped out as well. And that's how it has always been, Jhan and Jereum, defenders of the undefended. If only Jhan would stop treating me like a child and more like one of them. I was the most powerful after all.We had stopped a distance in front of a bungalow. Red painted walls as usual and I saw an
Crimson Moon CHAPTER 24 — DANGEROUS SUPREME FUN.
MONDAYWe rarely ate so we didn't even need to brush. Just a good gurgling with mouth wash did a surprisingly good job. I remained in my room. I had changed out of my jacket and into a plain black shirt and pants. Nobody had come to check up on me yet. It was five in the morning. I hadn't stopped staring at the documents in the folder. I felt a rising, raging hunger building up inside me to figure out more.'How did it even get this?' I wondered.The documents in the folder gave information about me; five foot eleven; hundred and ninety pounds; dark skinned; Leukaemia patient.The part for my name was torn out but my birth date was still intact—second November 2001. So I was going to be turning twenty at the end of the year. I had gone through the paper throughout the night but I couldn't stop looking at the passport photograph of myself. I was bald; sick looking, bony, my eyes looked too big for my head.Not able to take the cruel reality of
Crimson Moon CHAPTER 25 — JHAN VICTORIOUS.
CONTINUATION…I didn't like the attention but at the same time I didn't really mind it.Tia was just smiling widely and confirming their doubts."It is him!!!" Someone bellowed, and the crowd only grew more information thirsty.I spotted a clan of girls. All eight of them seemed to be about Tia's age and they were sitting and standing around a broken car. They were all very beautiful and I noticed they were all looking straight at me.I was transfixed in there alluring gazes. Tia nudged me painfully at my side. I was broken from the trance."They call themselves the Nymphets. But they spell it with an 'I' instead of a 'y' which I think is dumb to me," She said.'Kelderrrrr..." A soft voice sang out in my head. I immediately knew it was one of them. The one that was actually sitting on the cars bonnet—seemed to be their leader—was smiling at me. She twisted strands of her purple hair in-between her fingers.Ti
Crimson Moon CHAPTER 26 — HONE YOUR ABILITIES.
TUESDAYI slept off—for the first time in a while—thinking of Dawn. I woke up to the grey light that came through the window. It was another day I couldn't be with her. I remembered the folder that was under my bed, that creature had told me to meet it in four days in that dark street. I was looking forward to that as well as anticipating when next I'd see Dawn.I heard a soft knock on the door."Who is it?" I asked."Tia," she said."It's not locked," I said.She twisted the knob from the other side and stepped in. She wore a blue tee shirt, something I had never seen her in, but still wore her usual joggers and sneakers."No patrol?" I asked her."It's a new environment, we don't handle the patrols in this area," She said."Oh.""Well, Jhan wants to start training you," she said, "he said it's about time you were trained for the survey elites."I didn't like the idea of serving the higher cour
Crimson Moon CHAPTER 27 — JEREUM VICTORIOUS.
SAME DAY I fought a mental battle to control the speed of my attacks. The fear I felt in fighting Jereum was so much I seethed with it. Jereum wore a broad grin and was eyeing my face carefully as if trying to determine where he was going to punch first. Jhan gave the order for us to begin and I launched at Jereum, ready to land a punch. I thought that if I keep on the offence, he might be too busy dodging my attacks to attack back and the idea was worth so I kept him on the defensive to the best of my abilities. Jereum titled his head to his right and then, so quick I never saw it coming, he landed a punch on my temple. The force of the punch was enough to kill a normal person. I fell to the ground but supported myself from getting knocked out with my elbows. "Huh, so that's not enough to kill you..." "What!?" I looked at his limbs carefully as I got back up. Jereum wasted no time, he launched off the ground, twisting his body
Crimson Moon CHAPTER 28 — LITTLE LEYA ALL ALONE.
WEDNESDAYThey next morning I had gone through rigorous training with Jereum for the entire morning and when I got back I had slept throughout the day. Tia had told me—before I slept—that she would be going to hunt and Jhan had gone for a patrol with Jereum. It was just me and Leya at home. I woke up at three in the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly and all the curtains were closed against the yellow light, filtering it and allowing only the bright white light to pass, not harmful to us vampires.I went to the parlour and saw no sign of Leya; she must have been in her room. I walked back through the short corridor and stopped at the door closer to mine at the left. I knocked gently three times, and I heard the sound of ceramic breaking, from inside her room.“Leya are you okay?” I asked.“Kaldar?” She asked, “You can come in.”Gently twisting the door knob, I opened the door and stepped into her
Crimson Moon CHAPTER 29 — DALLAS RETURN.
THURSDAYTia had returned home yesterday not long after I had heard Leya's insufferable tale. I had stayed with Leya all morning, trying to find a weak spot in her so I could console her but she seemed to be doing just fine, showing no weakness whatsoever. Yet, I was compelled to feel pity for her and a sense of protection as well.Knowing all this about Leya had made me see her in a different light, I no longer saw her as the weak little girl I once saw her as, but now I saw her as a heavily willed, strong and bold little girl.The fact that she had gone through all that coupled with the taunts Jereum used to throw at her, made me hate Jereum even more. I thought about what Jhan had done, was he at the wrong for saving her life? I mean, didn’t she deserve to get a choice? Or was her condition too critical for that.She said she had drunk the blood of the people that did that to her and her friends. Did she kill them herself or was it Jhan? I wasn&r
Crimson Moon CHAPTER 30 — THE CLAN IS HERE.
THURSDAYWe all just looked at each other, exchanging gazes periodically. It lasted for a few silent minutes."Wait—what in hell is going on?!" The tyrant yelled angrily."You were about to drop the bomb on 'em sir," one of his minions said, that one I had been previously locked in with in a staring match, which I apparently won because he had lost concentration and looked away at the voice of his boss."Oh, yeah..." he said, faking sudden remembrance. Dallas was ironic, it was made him seemed less like a threat and more like a pathetic person that was just trying too hard to make an impression or prove a point."Should I tell him Jereum? Or you'd rather shut me up?""Yeah, sure tell 'em... It's not like you all don't know it," Jereum said, shrugging and looking nonchalant.I saw the shock and bewilderment in the tyrant’s eyes. But I could also see, right behind the mask of I-don't-give-a-damn that was pasted tightly on Je
