“Just go in and sleep damn it!”
Ichabod cursed under his breath in his new room. He could still hear her pacing up and down as she walked from one room to the other room.
He could feel the way she breathed, ‘I love you’ into her daughter’s ears while she tucked her into her bed. Even though it was quite far from his room, Ichabod could feel every movement...every whisper. His transition time was getting closer and he couldn’t control himself that much.
The bottle was in his hand and he thought of putting more drops into his tongue...
“You imbecile! That will be cheating! I will kill you if you try that nonsense!” He snarled to himself in Odin’s voice.
He snapped out of it with a deep grunt....
Please Harmony....just go to sleep....

Harmony left Tracy’s bed and was walking out when she heard Tracy’s voice.
“Mum, please make daddy come to my Halloween party. I don’t want

In a swift movement, he was in her room. The bed lamp was on, it was a faint red lamp and for a normal human eye, you wouldn’t be able to see much but for a vampire, even in the dark, everything is bright.He watched as she lay peacefully in her bed. Her breath was in a slow movement and her body was covered in her white blanket. Her hair was tucked in a blue satin. She looked as fresh as morning dew in her sleeping state.“Wow! That is one beautiful piece of cake.” Odin said to himself and was immediately standing beside her, so close to her that he brought out his hand and with his index finger, he trailed the side of her cheek down to her jaw line...He could feel Ichabod’s resistance within him so he chuckled to himself...“Calm down idiot. You know that the night belongs to me. Even though you tried everything to stop me from coming out in the day, you can’t stop me from coming out in the night. That will mean getting rid of me forever and that

Odin followed as the little human girl took her to the balcony of the house. There was no light except the reflection of the moonlight. There were two seats as well and she sat on one. Odin grunted, what kind of foolishness was this? So would Ichabod actually turn him into a baby sitter in this night? He thought of using his power on the little girl to send her to sleep immediately but...“I’m so sad Ichabod.” The girl whimpered and this stopped him from doing what he wanted to do.“If you are sad, talk to your mother not me.” He murmured. “My mum doesn’t like my dad.” She said, more like talking to herself. “If he still doesn’t show up at the Halloween party, I am going to be laughed at again. I can’t ask my mum to dress up like my dad again. It’s embarrassing.” She cried. “For days I couldn’t even do anything in class without being laughed at. I hate this stupid Halloween.”Odin was barely listening to her, instead, he was thinking of how he would l

The light that came on disrupted his sleep and he opened his sleepy eyes, forgetting where he was until he saw Harmony looking at him in shock.“What are you doing Ichabod?”Ichabod stood up immediately and trying not to show how embarrassed he was.“You are really taking your job seriously. First, the toilet thing and now, you are baby-sitting my daughter. You shouldn’t. Seriously.” Harmony said, walking to where he daughter lay.“Forgive me. I must have slept off.” He mumbled the words together.Harmony said nothing but instead proceeded to wake her daughter up. Meanwhile Ichabod was about taking his leave when Harmony said. “Is that my tab?”He turned around and realized he had left the tab on the floor. It must have dropped when he slept off....when Odin slept off. Wait, Odin slept off?“What is my tab doing beside you Ichabod?” Harmony demanded, looking a bit displeased.Ichabod was tongue-tied. “Well, Ier...”

Well, Ichabod had been getting ready for this question. “Well, I’m from here and there.” He replied with a chuckle but Harmony only scoffed. “YourCV says you are from Baltimore, but I’m just curious, why Nigeria? Why body guard?”He smiled. “Well, I will answer you if you answer me this.” He said.“What?” She asked, giving him that sweet smile that made him fall in love with her centuries ago.“Why did you hire me?”**Harmony was surprised when he asked that. That was really a serious question. “Well, I...I don’t know. There was something about you that drew me to you...” she said, trying not to sound awkward. “You have this mystery surrounding you and I got intrigued.”“Well, let’s say that was why I came to Nigeria, to find you....and to protect you...”Harmony knew he was probably joking about this and wasn’t serious about saying all these. Maybe he was toying with her but the sincerity in his

“Yea. I just remembered I found something in my room when I woke up this morning, I don’t know how it got there. Did you come to my room last night? Is this yours?”He swallowed hard, unable to concentrate on his driving...“Idiot, just tell her a lie!” Odin snarled in his head.“Urm, yea, Ah...” He inhaled deeply, lying was not his thing really. While he stuttered, Harmony’s phone rang. Thank Goodness!He couldn’t believe how sweaty he was within how many minutes.“You are a so dumb! Seriously! You are her bodyguard! You could say you went to her room to check up on her when you heard noises in the room. Then you forgot it there. Ish! Do I need to do everything for you?”“Shut up Odin! It was your clumsiness that caused it in the first place!”“Yea? Bite me?”“Um, excuse me, Ichabod, are you talking to someone?” Harmony asked, looking at him in the mirror from the back seat.Odin chuckled, “caught i

Ichabod sipped from the wine in his hand. He had tried calling Adam but the noise of the party was so much he could barely hear what Adam was saying. How in the world was he going to catch himself?Different people graced the party, most of them were people he had seen their pictures with Harmony in the house. Talking of Harmony, she was standing with some other people as they took several group pictures.He checked the time, it was some minutes to ten in the night. The time was long gone. He caught Harmony’s signaling to him to come over and he immediately went to her. She excused herself from the group and walked up to meet him, she looked worried.“What is it?” He asked as he got close enough to be heard by her.“I’ve been trying to call Michael, his lines are not going through. I’ve sent several messages to him as well, he didn’t pick. I am so worried. I tried calling Debby, Tracy’s teacher, she is not picking either.”“Calm down. Does your daughter

The passageway was quiet but there were lights everywhere. There were six doors straight down so he walked to the last one. He listened attentively enough to pick the sound of Tracey’s sobs. He knocked.“Tracey, it’s Ichabod, open.”The sobbing stopped for a while but no reply.“I am so sorry for what your father did honey. But....”“He promised me Ichabod, Mum also thought that he was gonna come. Everyone will laugh at me again...” she sobbed.“I hate my daddy too you know.”She stopped sobbing, “why?”“If you open up, I will tell you.”For a while, there was no movement but the door opened eventually and her little face came out. She was already dressed in a white ball gown, white shoes and in her hand was a magic wand and a tiara was on her head.“Oh my God! You are such a beautiful angel....”She smiled, “I’m a beauty, silly.”Ichabod laughed and squatted to reach her height. “This gown is too beautiful to be wast

When he finally brought her down.Tracy turned to hug him tightly....“Thank you so much dear beast...you are the best...I love you...” She said, kissing him on the forehead.‘Tracy!” Tracy looked up only to see her mother smiling and running towards them...“Mum!” She cried for joy and ran towards Harmony who was finding her way through the crowd....“I saw you up dear, you looked so beautiful...you are beautiful. I am so proud of you...”“Mum did you see Ichabod! He was so good....”“Yes darling I saw him, I saw you too. I am so proud of you.” Harmony said, showering her daughter with kisses before standing up to see Ichabod but then he was gone. “He was just here… where did he go?” Tracy asked her mum, a little bit disappointed that her beast was gone. Harmony couldn’t understand as well. “Come on darling, maybe he needed to remove his costume.” She said, taking her daughter by the hand and leading her towards th
