Chapter 24.Come get me!Ben prepared to leave shortly, after explaining to Greta that Alex's introduction earlier was a repulse action, one which she might have been used to when she was with her parents who were now dead, but that now, she had lost all her memories. Ben pulled Alex aside after telling her to be more careful. "I will be back, to get you Alex, but till then be very careful you can't afford to arouse any suspicion or anything of that sort, no one is to know except me and you, okay? As I said, I will be back, I will come get you" Ben promised as he waved her goodbye and drove off.Alex held to that promise with her dear life, Ben was the only person she knew here in Demeris, she felt like he was also the only person she could trust since her dad handed her over to him. She started her life on Long Hill, Demeris, her new home. The first three months were bliss but then the months that followed were hell.It's been two years since Ben dropped Alex o
Chapter 25Can't take this anymore!She sniffled more tears "I won't cry anymore, Alexandria, you are brave, you are strong," she said wiping her eye clean but they betrayed her, more tears poured down like the tear tap in her eyes socket were let loose."Momma, it hurts, it hurts badly here" she cried pointing her finger to her chest. Alex didn't know how and neither do I but she soon fell asleep. The girls tip-toed into the room later and tried so hard not to wake her.Rachel, used a warm clean towel to wipe her wounds carefully, Alex flinched in her sleep as Rachel wiped it, this was the least they could do, they all had been through this at one time or the other, no one could save anyone, they were all thriving to survive, but unlike her, they had no hope of anyone coming to get them.Alex woke up the next day to meet her menstrual cramp which always hurt like crazy, coupled with the pains from yesterday, Alex couldn't even move. The girls promised to contribute from their pay

Chapter 26He came back and is gone.Fang cityRegal sat, behind a table trying to study, Wilson was sitting on the chair right across him. "Uncle It's been two years since I started training when would I get to do the real stuff", Regal asked, " what real stuff, prince?" Wilson asked as he dropped the book he was reading to give Regal his full attention. "Uncle, I know studying is necessary, but we both know that's not all it takes to defend the empire and the people, we rarely get to practice combat and wielding of power, you always say am not yet ready and that it could be dangerous to me if I attempt it". "Uncle am eighteen, if am not ready then when will I be? Teens vampires my age are already wielding great power and skills how much more me, who has royal blood boiling in my veins" Regal asked.Wilson stood up and walked towards Regal chair "That's the issue Regal, you are royalty, with royal blood, you have greater powers and strength in you than you think, and if you can't c
Chapter 27He came, he came Back!"Good evening sir, how may I help you," Mitchell said as she turned open the door knob to meet a mid-age handsome man staring at her, "yes I guess, can I meet Greta, is she in?" The man asked. "And who might you be?" Mitchell asked, "tell her it's Ben" He answered. "Ben!!! As in Ben, like Alexandria's guardian? That Ben?" Mitchell screamed. Ben was shocked he just stared at her awkwardly " I guess?" He finally replied, "ops am sorry sir," Mitchell said as she covered her mouth and quickly composed herself. "Please come in sir," she said as she opened the door wider to let Ben in.Ben walked in as Mitchell closed the door behind him, "please make yourself comfortable" Mitchell said gesturing to the chair which was neatly dressed compared to the last time he came. "I will go up and call her," Mitchell said as she ran up the stairs excitedly.But guess where she went next? Yeah, your guess is as good as mine, she ran to the girls' room. "Guess
Chapter 28Can't leave them behind.Three heads peeped from the door right across the stairs eavesdropping on the conversation going on downstairs between Ben and Greta. Now don't tell me how bad it is to eavesdrop on adults' conversation because someone had to put this witch in her position."What do you mean she's no longer here?" Ben asked almost yelling, "I meant what you heard, she's no longer here, she sneaked away a few months ago after telling us she was going to come find you," Greta said without any emotion."She said she was going to come find me and you just let her go like that!" Ben yelled. "Don't yell at me Ben, you don't know how I put up with that girl, she is such a handful. As you heard, she 'sneaked' away, I wasn't there when she did that!" Greta fired back."What! Alex is such a well-behaved kid, she couldn't have given you trouble, why? I mean, how could she just leave?" Ben questioned "So you think! She such a good girl, blah blah blah, She probably team
LeavingChapter 29The girls walked to the door, they were almost at the door when they heard Ben's voice, "Hold on girls" Ben said, the girls turned to face him.'Hell!' Ben thought, 'how bad could Greta have treated them or..., It couldn't have been Alex's fault! She was a well-behaved girl". Though Ben had known Alex for only a short time he felt like she was someone he could vouch for. 'she is a well-behaved girl, even when children her age would have cried, thrown a tantrum when things weren't going their way, she was strong and took it all in, she didn't leave like Greta said, that only means Greta lied to cover up something.' I can't risk leaving her here another day, if she asked for these girls to come with her, then they are probably very close friends, if this is the condition then it's fine with me.' This thought ran through Ben's mind, and in a matter of seconds, he had reached his conclusion."Yeah?" Rachel answered on their behalf, "how about you girls come wit
