Schuyler's P. O. V.Gunshots filled the air and Stormi woke up screaming because of that. Mr. Andrews kept on cursing, but he didn't open the door of his van. The driver and guards went out and we're trying to fix the tires as soon as they can, but I saw them dropping dead before they could even move an inch towards the tires. My heart was beating fast and nervous, but I still tried to calm myself.“Mr. Andrews, they're ambushing us!” I heard someone say something over the speaker.“They're too many, sir!”“They must be expecting us!”“Fuck, damn it!” Mr. Andrews shouted in anger. “So, this is why they didn't come right away, huh?! That fucker had been planning this!”Stormi screamed more when gunshots were directed at the van’s door, forcing it open, so Mr. Andrews looked in our direction before he smirked evilly.“You…” She pulled Stormi from me.“No! Let her go!” I kept on screaming to have my daughter back, until he opened the door and exited the van. “Give her back to me! Stormi!
Ezekiel's P. O. V.“I saw mommy in the dressing room!” A smirk formed in my lips as soon as Stormi ran to me.As days passed, she became more of me in every physical way, but her attitude was more of her mother. Although my wife says otherwise.“She was so pretty!” She cupped both of her cheeks. “You should come see her now!”Of course, I’d come see my wife, but before that, I must take care of these first. The picnic basket was filled with most of Stormi's snacks. It was all her request as soon as Schuyler went to take a bath.“Did you bring my strawberry cupcakes, dad?” I heard my daughter asking when I saw her sitting at the table and looking at me with an analyzing eyes.I tilted my head to the side, “Don't sit at the table. Your mom might see you.”She pouted her lips before she crawled out of the table and crossed our distance. “Let's go to mommy, dad!”I carried her in my arms as we both went upstairs. Stormi was singing loudly on our way and I couldn't help the smile on my fac
Schuyler Savannah's P. O. V.I felt someone watching every step I make in the middle of the darkness. I can feel my heart slowly beating fast and my breathing was hitch in nervousness as I continued to make my way in the hospital entrance.I could already see the guards in front of the entrance when I heard footsteps from behind me, tears were building in my eyes as my imaginations started to scare me and my body started to feel cold.What if I get kidnapped here? I heard from the news that a lot of women are mysteriously getting kidnapped in the city and the people to blame are still unknown.'Maybe I should hurry up…' I told myself and another set of images crossed my mind. I imagined being pulled away just before I got to the hospital.So my adrenaline rush acted to where my body was comfortable. I ran fast just to reach the hospital and when the guard saw me, he gave me a familiar look and opened the door for me.I got inside while catching my breath and they eyed me with question
Ezekiel Riego's P. O. V."Sir, their leader went inside the forest just now. Should I take care of him?"My eyes glistened with darkness as I heard what my assistant said over the ear piece. A cruel smirk made its way to my lips as I turned my car over and parked it in the middle of the road."Leave him to me." I got out of the car and looked up at the dark sky.The moon was shining beautifully dark tonight and all I was thinking is if the said Moon Goddess is watching me from above. How wonderful it would be for her to see me avenge my ancestors for her own failure in protecting them from these filthy and disgusting human beings, the same human race she has made us into protecting against the vampires and witches who are doing nothing but harm them in the darkness. Yet they found them amusing and heroic, while they hunt us down, their supposed protectors, only for a reason that we are monster looking and have a special blood to carry.Fear and greed. Their weakness and strength, but
Schuyler Savannah's P. O. V.I was busy serving the drink that one of my customers purchased when one of my co-workers approached me. Her eyes looked bothered when she suddenly gripped my wrist and pulled me in the kitchen."Schuyler.."I looked around us and realized that the staff were gone. Where did everyone go? As soon as the door closed, the loud music of the bar speakers was minimized as well."I have a question for you.." I gaze back at her before I slowly nod."What is it?" My voice sounded casual and I think it gave her relief somehow.Something's really bothering her. I can tell that, especially while watching how nervous she looks right now."Do you still want to finish college? You know, to get a bachelor's degree?" Her tone sounded as if she's strolling, but at the same time, curious as well."I want my parents well more than anything."She slowly nodded at me before she sighed. "Well, what do you say about getting an extra job?" I raised my brow while waiting for her to
Schuyler Savannah's P. O. V.People outside were screaming outside the room and I should start worrying because of that, but instead, I was standing here in the middle of this room, with a killer in front of me and watching me with those menacing cold eyes of his.I tried to step away from him, but the moment I did, I felt someone pull my hair and throw me on the wall. I felt my hands hit the wall and my own body, causing me to scratch my arms, and bruises quickly appeared in my skin."You, b*tch!" My eyes were filled with fear when I saw him raise his hand and was about to slap me.My defense instinct made me want to cover my face, but because of my aching arms, I couldn't move to protect myself.I closed my eyes and looked away from him, bracing myself for the impact, but instead, I heard another gunshot and the man's grip on me loosened as he screamed in pain.I slowly opened my eyes after I felt when someone lifted me up and helped me to stand still. I heard footsteps rushing ins
Schuyler Savannah's P. O. V."Schuyler?" I quickly turned around when I heard someone calling me.I was ready to smile when I suddenly stopped myself and looked at her with no emotion visible in my face. Her smirk widened while eyeing from head to toe and I could already feel the next insults I'll hear from her mouth."You work here? I thought you'll go abroad and spend time after college." She suddenly gasped and acted worried in front of me. "My, I forgot. Do you even have funds to attend college?""Who's she, Alana?" We heard someone ask and when I turned around to look, it was a woman, probably a year older than us, walking towards our direction with a confused look on her face. "Please, don't tell me you're friends with this… Anyway, you're not, right?""Oh, please! How would I be close to someone who didn't even have the chance to submit an application for college?" Alana laughed and rolled her eyes. "Let me guess, you're in debt right now, yeah?"I balled my fist secretly while
Schuyler Savannah's P. O. V.Roaming my eyes around the president’s conference office, I hid my hands under the table as I felt them shaken in nervousness. The president was sitting across from me with a serious face as he scanned my parents' hospital bill. I didn’t know that things like this could be handled by a higher person like him. I thought it’d always be his employees who would do it, but our situation has probably reached his ears now and can no longer be handled by the accountants.“Miss Savannah,” he started and closed the report folder before placing it on the table. “You’re fully aware of your situation right now, right?”I was contemplating whether to remain silent and wait for him or nod my head in agreement, but I still ended up doing the latter. He nodded back in understanding before he stood up and faced the glass wall, he was watching the scenery outside.“I admire your affection for your parents, for the past years, you have proven how much you care for them.” I lo
