Chapter 10 — FREER THAN THE WIND.
ONE WEEK LATER. SATURDAY
A week had passed since I saw Dawn—since I got to be with her. I left the same way I had come in, through the window. I had to keep things on a low between us if I didn't want the others to find out. Leya's tip had paid off greatly; I came back just before ten o'clock and the others returned just thirty minutes after me.
My weeks were mostly filled with sleeping and small conversations with Tia. Jhan had told me that I would be entered into service of the higher court once I was five years old as a vampire. He boasted of how much an honour it would be to be in service of the higher court and of how much respect I would be bringing to the clan. I felt rather indifferent about the whole idea of wearing silky red robes and receiving orders from thousand year old vampires. I was even rather uninterested but I didn’t tell that to Jhan, he had sounded so proud already when he talked about it I didn’t want to off his fl

MONDAYTwo days had passed since we frolicked in the forest. I drank blood from the flask in the kitchen and spent most of the time reminiscing about the events of two days before now.I missed Dawn more than anything else. We weren’t exactly together but then I wondered why I felt guilty for kissing Tia, no, I actually felt guilty for enjoying it. I loved Dawn’s company no more than I enjoyed the tasted of blood.She somehow made me feel more alive than I actually was and it made me wonder if I ever even loved her or if I actually loved the way she made me feel. Either one it was, I enjoyed being around her all the while.I stared up at the zinc above my head. This attic-room was an old, mould smelling, dusty living space, but it was mine and I liked that fact about it. Today was a cloudy day; it made the possibility of meeting Dawn more of a reality than a thought.I could leave once the others go out but from the look o

CONTINUATION…After a few more pages of thrilling and interesting takes about the humans that could transform into powerful wolves, Sir Nich retired back to his work and I was left with the book in hand. He had read to me some more pages of the book and I had learnt that the Lobos or Lupine human, bread with ordinary humans and increased their numbers in mass. They had extended life spans of about two hundred years and aged rather slowly.Although Sir Nich told me time over time that the tales of the Lupine humans were myths and were made up millennia ago as folk tales, I still thought that they could be a truth to it. I looked at more and more pictures of the creatures and Sir Nich had told me that they draw their energy from the moon light. He had also told me that a Lupine human would be able to transform into a Lobo at day time but will revert back to its human form when the power it had drawn from the moon runs out.If what these legend

CHAPTER 13 — FOR LOVE.TUESDAYWaking up was the easy part of sleeping. It was like you blinked and all the hours had passed by in a mere second. We got home yesterday and I went off to sleep. I had woken up quite early today, sleeping just wasn’t as interesting as I knew it was supposed to be, sleeping was becoming more of a chore than a necessity now. I could sleep whole days without a single dreams, not even a flash . I did not know if the fact I could not dream in my sleep came with the fact I was a vampire now, or if I had been like this even before I got impurified. It was like a living, breathing part of me had been brutally torn away.I remembered details of yesterday, all what I had read about the Lupine humans and my great aspiration to figure out the myth.The old curator at the library had told me just enough about his past. From what I had understood he was an obsessed researcher who wanted to figure out as much as he could about

WEDNESDAYJhan came back home in the evening looking rather tired. He spoke little with Jereum before making is way up the stairs. Jhan was busy most of the time. He was no adjudicator but he still had an in important role to play.His job as a survey elite also included training younger amateur vampires which was s daily task.I passed the night wide awake and as soon as it was seven in the morning is saw Jhan and Jereum already in the parlour."Is everything alright Jhan?" I asked him, after he had a brief word over with Jereum, who was now frowning."Err... Yes Kaldar, just a little issues with our patrols," he said, and I believed him. If it was something serious he would tell me... Right?They left the house shortly after that, both wearing silver boots and their brown jackets."Soon be back love," Tia said, and she planted a kiss on my cheek before she followed after them.It was a cloudy day, or
Crimson Moon CHAPTER 15 — A LITTLE BIT OF LEYA.
THURSDAYLEYA'S P.O.V.I never slept with my eyes closed; it wasn't actually sleep kind of like a temporary shutdown of my body but not my mind so I woke up with my eyes open. Breathing in the fresh fumes from the plants that occupied my room. The light from the sky outside was still grey. I faked a yawn before hopping down from my bed. The grey watering can on the shelf was still full of water. I picked it up and titled it over the plants in my room. One by one until I was done with them all.Next I popped into my bathroom and took a warm water shower, humming a nursery rhyme as I did so. Once I was done I picked out any random little dress from my wardrobe. I never wore a dress twice and Jhan kept on bringing home newer dressed for me. The ones I had worn I'll keep in an open box beside my bed. Jhan would carry them out at the end of the month and give them to the girls at the orphanages.The dress I picked was blue, with little yellow flo
Crimson Moon CHAPTER 16 — JHAN.
JHAN'S P.O.V.I and Tia left without Jereum today. He said he had been suspecting Kaldar was leaving the house to an unknown place and returning before we would return back home. The walk to the end of town was usually filled with Tia's jokes and jests but today even she seemed awfully quiet. Tia wasn't the sad type like Leya, or the grumpy type like Jereum. She was the joy of all of us. With Kaldar now making the weird one. We were complete. I was their leader, their advisor. The serious big brother who found them all. They all looked up like their demi god. Mostly Leya though, Jereum knew I had acquired my knowledge over time. I wasn't looking forward to impurifying any new members. We were a team of five. Tia was silent because today would be the first day she would be tasked with training the young vampires who wanted to become survey elites and adjudicators. She had been quite nervous since but I had reassured her that it wouldn't be a big deal.Not
Crimson Moon CHAPTER 17 — MAKE A WISH.
FRIDAYNight fell, the rest were not back from their activities and the only other person in the house was Leya. I glanced at the clock, it was past eight. I checked the kitchen but there was no flask, probably Jhan would bring it with him back.Leya who was in the silence of her room, had finally decided to go to school. Something I had talked her into. I had about two more hours of my own freedom till my family returned and I had to make the most of it.I went to Leya's room and knocked on her door."Kaldar?""Yes Leya, it's me," I said, "I'll be leaving the house but I'll be back soon.""Okay, I'll be fine," She said. I got downstairs and exited the door. Glancing to either side of the road before dashing down the sidewalks.I got around Dawn’s house and to my surprise I saw her sitting by her windowsill, a book in her hand. She noticed my presence.“I’ve been waiting for you," she said, a bri
Crimson Moon CHAPTER 18 — WE ARE AS LIGHT AS THE WIND.
ONE WEEK LATER. FRIDAYA week had passed since I star gazed was with Dawn. The early light of dawn in the morning reminded me of her and I cherished every moment we shared, reliving it over and over again in my head.I felt myself becoming more and more attached to Tia and sometimes she’d even caught me staring at her from across the room, I’d quickly avert my eyes but that didn’t take away the awkwardness that came with it. Today was like every other day—boring. I slept through the entire day in my attic-room and woke up at seven in the evening.I had made sure that Leya went to school in the morning again, even suggesting to walk her but she refused and walked off by herself. Jhan drove her and dropped her off when she'd agree but the girl liked her alone time. And accordingly to what she told me, she knew a shortcut to her school, which was basically climbing over a few buildings, allowing her to skip over three blocks th
