My eyes fluttered open slowly as I stared at the ceiling with a little ray of light passing through. It was dark, cold and empty with nothing but whispers of a thousand voices echoing in the room.
I tried to stretch my hand towards the light but I was unable because of the bindings that held me to the wall.
“You’re awake.” I heard a familiar voice as my eyes went down to the young girl whose timid voice had me feel pity for her.
This young girl was young, probably in her prime adolescence beautiful with long brown hair covered by a red hood and pale skin like she had never seen the sunlight.
“Where am I?” I asked as she looked around.
“I don’t know but I’m not supposed to be here.” The young girl responded.
“Who are you?” I asked as her eyes glittered with sadness.
“I am you.” She replied as she gazed passionately into my eyes

FIRE ON FIRE XXXVII
RogueThe feeling of being alive again had always been strange to me but no matter how people saw this as a second life, I was dead. A living dead, a vampire, an original of its kind, feeding, walking and talking.The human world had changed a lot since my last appearance, internet, human rights, women rights, transport system, jobs and abolishment of slavery. It had become a paradise the ancestors would be proud to have fought for but it was far from perfect; it was destined to come to an end by the hands of a woman who bled red and her slave who horned to her wishes.All prophesies that everyone was battling against was coming true and it made me excited thinking of what and how the new world would turn out to be.Would it be a paradise where balance would be a law? Or would it be a hell where humanity would be left enslaved to survival of the fittest and luxury a reward?“Rogue I’m hungry.” Sky said as he pulle

Elijah“Daddy wakey up.” Owen said as he straddled my body early in the morning. I moaned as I ignored those fragile tiny hands that was putting a lot of effort into waking me up.“You have to try harder than that son.” I said as he pouted before he climbed down from my body.I smiled in triumphant as I grabbed a pillow to replace my son’s position when I heard a loud cry.I sat up as Owen screamed with all his might as I covered my ears and stared at him.“I’m up! I’m up!” I replied before Owen stopped screaming and I got down from the bed.He was laughing really hard before dad grabbed him and lifted him from his hips and placed on his shoulders.“It’s nice to see you have returned. The council has been anxious about your activities these days, why so?” Dad asked as I carried my son away from his arms.“Good morning father. It&rsquo

LEAI was worried; I knew that things were getting more complicated than I expected. Rogue had successfully broken the seal of the first key and unleashed a plague to the world.The news report couldn’t stop breaking the tragedies happening, natural disasters affecting even the peaceful of countries and pain and suffering by the rich and the poor. It scared me what the two keys would unleash if Rogue got her hands on it.It was very unclear what her motives were for wanting to cause an artificial Armageddon but I was certain she was seeing an image I couldn’t see. One that Charlie might subconsciously fallen into and found it difficult to control her during the search.The door of my lab opened as Azreal came inside with a look of exhaustion on his face. This was strange for him but I knew it was more of an emotional problem than a physical issue. The vampire he was interested in was infected; the bothersome Klaus was infected

The moment dawn rose, we decided to depart to the location of the third key. Azreal supported Klaus’ body and dropped him at the back of the car before chaining his leg to the car.“Thanks.” Klaus said as his breath ragged.“You look terrible.” I said as Klaus chuckled and covered his eyes.“I think he looks lovely in terms of zombie.” Azreal added as I laughed and Klaus chuckled as well.“Now I feel even more terrible than I am.” Klaus said as I threw him a blood bag and closed the door.I climbed into the passenger’s seat as Azreal entered the driver’s seat and started the car. Klaus stared at the blood, gulping loud as he held his stomach and stared at me when the car moved.“I told you not to feed me, the weaker I am the better.” Klaus said as I rolled my eyes.“It is true this method prevents them from complete domination but the number of times y

RogueWe’ve been on the road for six hours now. Sky was quietly asleep at the back of the car since we got up early. I stretched the blanket on his body to cover him up properly before I lifted my mask and lowered my face cap so I could focus on the road.I was identified as a kidnapper a few weeks ago and honestly, it didn’t bother me. Human affairs could always be dealt with later especially since I didn’t kidnap the kid, he followed me. One day our journey will end and that was no time from now or so I hoped.I slowed down so as not to arouse police suspicion at a check point. I wasn’t nervous, a straight face as I drove by before I lowered my window.“Good day Miss.” The police officer said as I nodded at the officer without lifting my face.“Good day sir.” I replied as my hand went to my cap.I pulled off the cap as my eyes remained focus on the officer who was le

LeaThe atmosphere felt tense as I watched Sam test the cure I had made. His eyes were empty, his lips thin and I knew that a lot of questions were running through his head.“You should say your mind no matter how hard it comes.” I said as Sam stopped and moved his head towards me. “I know you are confused because of everything we told you.”“What do you expect me to say? That I am angry? Disappointed? Confused and hurt? Those words don’t come close to what I’m feeling right now. Each and every one of you lied about my parental lineage and now we’re in danger of the world ending, you want to clear your conscious.” Sam replied as he focused on his job.“I’ll give you some space but I truly want you to know that it was never my intention to lie to you especially this long and I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me. My regrets are more than my efforts and being alive d

Rogue“The location of the second key is with the one most loved by the queen witch.” Micah informed me as he sipped his drink.“The queen witch’s beloved is dead.” I said as Micah laughed.“You think so? I guess you haven’t heard about her precious grandson. It isn’t everyone that knows who he is but he is one of the seven mages with potentials no one can rival.”“Meaning you have not seen him?”“Yes. I hear he is young and a hybrid but I’ve never been able to confirm it but if you say Lea is focused on stopping this new world you wish to create, it’s possible she is already with the guardian of the second key. Find Lea, find him; simple explanation.” Micah said as I frowned before I folded my hand.“I was hoping to kill her after I had the third key.” I said as

ElijahWe had Rogue securely chained to a chair with pure silver with a symbol on the ground supernatural creatures couldn’t escape. It was cruel watching the pure metal burning her skin but it was the only thing that could keep her weakened with her dying. Rogue was good at playing at people’s intelligence and she carefully chose her words.What had happened earlier wasn’t easy for anyone especially Sam who locked himself up in a room the moment we had Rogue chained up.It was only a blind man who wouldn’t know immediately that Sam was Rogue’s biological child. They looked alike, their blood had a little of each other and the conflicted pain in Rogue’s face didn’t deny she knew of his existence.It confused me. Rogue wasn’t exactly human but she wasn’t a vampire. Charlie and her siblings were the first originals to walk on the planet and unless he was bitten by one of them, it was gen
