Chapter 4: Club Hopping
I felt my heart crashing, it felt like trying to get out of my chest. Until I couldn’t breathe anymore. “Ouch!” I saw Hella fly and hit the wall. The invisible lady hit her stomach. “Ugh!” My eyes widen when I started coughing blood. I saw a teen girl slowly walking down the stairs while looking at me. “Break!” I saw her mumble and I felt my bone cracking. “AHH!” I stood up and flick my wand at her but I didn’t make it. I felt my hand cracking and my wand fell from my palm. I snapped my finger and fell to the ground. I manage to cut her stare on me and the pain faded. I got my wand and flick it to her but she jumped to avoid it and landed in front of me. A solid slap hit my right cheek and a strong kick hit my stomach. “You brat!” I fake flicked my wand and she vanished I flicked it quickly to where she appeared but she dodge it. She ran and I continuously flick my wand, until the pink magic that came from my wand turned into red and I hit her foot. She lost it immediately and I ran after her. But a lady stopped me so I punched her and flick my wand to her and perfect timing Hella hit her too. “You can have the brat.” She said and I ran to her. When I reached the room where she was her stare greeted me but I instantly cast a spell to make a barrier. At my last flick, it did hit her and her body turned into an hourglass. ‘I want to keep her,’ no one could turn her back but me. I went out and saw Hell sitting on the wrecked couch. “We’re done here.” “Okay, it’s nine pm still. Just perfect timing for club hopping.” I nodded to her and she ran excitedly out of the house. ‘This is mine now.’ I swished my wand three times and flicked it to the floor. And broken things started forming back to their original place and form. “Take care of yourselves,” And all the things started breathing and moving. I gave them life to maintain their cleanliness and their safety. The door opened obligingly so I smiled at her. “Thanks, Doory.” Hella drives back to the house and cast a spell to speed up her car.*** “Just tell me if you don’t like here. Check those cute guys,” she whispered in my ears and left me. I couldn’t tell if they were half vampires walking still in this dark with blinding colorful lights around or if they were just walking with closed eyes. Good thing my eyes adjust to the darkness and were able to see better than before. “Hey, having fun?” I wasn’t even smiling, why would he ask if I do? I flashed a fake smile and nodded slightly. I could already see Hell’s point, everyone here is willing to sleep with a stranger, I didn’t need to beg not to blackmail anyone. I walk around while trying to get myself drunk but human wine was too weak to even burn my throat. After checking around, I didn’t find the good one. So I pulled Hella who was kissing a random guy. “I don’t like it here.” She nodded and pulled me out. She snapped her finger and change out her clothes. I closed my eyes before I saw it spin and when I opened my eyes again, I was in the other club. There was more wild, I could see someone making out on the dance floor. After a few minutes I signaled her to leave so we went out she brought me to the other club. “This is an elite one, you can’t see a poor guy here. And this should be the last club, I am staying here whether you find a guy or not.” She cleared things before leaving me and I saw her flirty with the bartender, she took a glass of drink for free. I ordered a drink too and sat at the corner. I see, everyone here seemed calm and casually flirting around, after a few words they would leave. I saw Hella find a new guy and they started dancing. I should pick now, this wouldn’t be hard I know, I hope. I could see their shameless stares, I locked stare with one and he instantly smiled, he didn’t take long to stand and walk toward me. “Hey, beautiful.” “Hey,” “First time?” He asked and I nodded. “How did you know?” I asked and he lean closer. “I own this, and I know my regular customer. I have never seen you before and your friend Hella usually comes alone, so I thought it was your first time.” Amusing, he’s observant. I like that. “I’m Mike.” “Call me, Zil.” “Well, Zill. I see you love black.” He noticed it too, “Lights off, I presume.” I bit my inner cheek to stop my smile. He was too quick, I never thought he sounds like a bad boy with his white shirt and clean face. “I think so.” I was about to flirt back when all of a sudden a girl pulled Hella’s hair away from the guy she was flirting with. As the owner, he stood up. “I’ll be back.” He said before leaving me, I watched him fix things up but I felt a strong stare from my right. I turned in that direction and met an intense gaze. His black shirt was too sexy with his glowing fair skin even in the dark. I stared back and he drank his drinks up. I felt my neck burning when I saw how Adam’s apple moved. My breath hitched when he turned his head to me again and stared into my eyes. I felt that he could see my soul. I blink when a white fabric blocks my sight and saw Mike. “Sorry to leave you hanging.” I smiled and opened my mouth to answer but closed it back when I saw the guy earlier behind him. He handed me a glass of red wine, I like his style. I accepted the glass but Mike tried to take it. I was surprised by his quick hands and Mike failed to get it. ‘Excuse me?” Mike irritatingly asked the man in black. While I got the drink and smiled at him. “Thank you.” “Hey! What was that, man?” Mike stood up and the guy only glanced at him. To my surprise, he took a step and lean down toward me. Before I could even react, his soft lips touched mine. He pulled away and gave Mike a mocking smile. He stormed away, and he turned back to me. He drank his shot and stared at me for more. “So are you going to leave me hanging?” He kissed me again as an answer, I was afraid to bite back ‘cause I didn’t know how. Until I ran out of breath and he pulled an inch away. “I can even do it, right here, right now.” Damn, his voice was the sexiest voice I ever heard. I never thought that humans could be this good. “I don’t really know how to do this but keep going,” I said before he could kiss me again. But he suddenly froze. “Come again?” He asked. “What?” “Nothing,” then he pulled away from me. He turned around and walked out. I couldn’t believe him! “Really?” I snapped my finger and appeared right in front of him before he could get in his car. “You think you can get away from me?” I asked and confusion drew on his face. I kissed him before he could talk and he was obedient enough to answer. My burning body against his cold palm felts heaven. I could hear him gasp and it would add to the burning feeling inside me. I didn’t think this was fun. “Must be so sure about this.” He said but didn’t give me the chance to answer and pushed me inside the car. That’s when I realized things weren’t too right. Before I could protest about the space and my uncomfortable position I felt him above me.Chapter 5: Baby in My Stomach “HAHAHAHA! Whe-where did you do it again?” She had been laughing for an hour about what I told her. “Whatever.”“In a car? You lost your virginity in a car? What a special experience!” Making fun of my misery was her pleasure, I see. “Can you shut up?” “Only if you tell me what really happened.” I didn’t have the chance to tell her all the details when she started laughing endlessly, now I wouldn’t dare to tell her anymore.“Nothing, get out.” She even trespassed her in my bedroom just to ask me what happened when she knew the plan. “Okay, lemme just watched it in the mirror.” And she vanished, she was about to cast a spell on the mirror. “Okay-okay, I’ll tell you.” I’d rather tell her than let her see what I have done. “It happened in a car, after that I lost track and woke up in a hotel room.” “That’s it?” She asked, she needed something juicy and interesting story but sad to say I didn’t have any. “What else do you think?” I lay bac
Chapter 6: Journey to A Changed WomanI was serious when I said new life and something changed. I knew that this is what I want, I risk everything I have for this baby. I couldn’t explain the glee in me when she confirmed that I am indeed pregnant.Hella was hanging out in my room again and talking about things that got into her head like what should we name the baby and even the brand of her clothes. “What are your plans now?” I was still in my nightgown and lying in bed looking down at my tummy. “I don’t know yet, probably fly away from here and live a simple life. I want to raise my baby away from extravagance and luxury, I want her or him to live happily.” I said, I knew I didn’t sound like me but I should leave with it. “I am flying to Paris.” She said and I just nodded. “My flight will be later, aren’t you going to say goodbye?” “Goodbye, Hella.” I did what she wanted and she was still disappointed.“Again?” She was expecting a dramatic goodbye, I knew it.So I got
Chapter 7: New LifeConfusion drew on my face as I heard Lara speak. “You mean in this house?” “Oh, no no no. She means that we live here in this town and our house was just around your land since we worked for the previous owner for a long time. We still took care of it even though we weren’t paid.” Mina sounded like Hella which made me smile. “Thank you, I will pay you guys for it don’t worry.” “Uhm, we don’t have a job, we were thinking if…we could work you and work here still,” Lara said and everyone went silent waiting for my response. I didn’t know how to answer her. “It was hard for us to find another job, the main road was a mile away from here. Also, we didn’t have a degree to apply in the city.” Mina added, I see. “Well, not a problem.” Their faces immediately lit up with full glee. “Thank you, Madam. Thank you very much.” All of them were thanking me, their thank you and priceless expression of gratitude were pleasing. “Let’s eat.” Lara declared, I thought
Chapter 8: The Legend“Why?” I asked. “Our town has a reputation of being the town of vampires.“ Mina said which made me stop eating and looked at her. “But I don’t think it’s true,“ she added.“Really? I didn’t stumble on that rumor. “ If I did, I wouldn’t be here. Vampires despise my name so much. “Well, there is nothing to worry about that, since it wasn’t true. “ Lara said and nodded. “Of course, vampires are just myths. “ Mina said and continued eating while could feel them tensed up and acting unbothered. “Well, there will be no smoke if there were no fire? How did the rumor start? “ I had gone interested on about vampires in this place.“I don’t know when that myth started but I heard the whole town was resided by vampires under the care of their head or leader who owns the whole town. As the neighboring town arise and became populated the vampires started leaving the town. “ “So the tales were created by the neighboring town? “ I asked and she shrugged. “I don’t
Chapter 9: Cravings“Because of our town's reputation, we never had new residents or even tourists here. Not just Pio who noticed your presence but the whole town.“ Carding explained that to me. “Okay, do you want to buy something?“ I asked him. I realized that it wasn't safe to ask too much in here. “None, Madam.“ He answered so we walk back to our car. He never left my side and even walked next to me. He also opened the door for me. He looked professional when he did that despite the that he wore cheap clothes.His face wasn't familiar but I didn't have a good feeling about him. Maybe he was indeed a vampire or his ancestor. I have questions but I'd rather be clueless than learning that this place isn't safe and die thinking I did a wrong decision moving in here. Of all creatures, why vampires? I have killed hundreds of vampires and I'm sure only of few who didn't know me. I opened the plastic bag and took a stick of banana and eat it. I need to calm myself. ***“Go
Chapter 10: Birth of The Immortal Baby"Hana," Lara warned her. I knew she was right, it was too early for my child to kick."She's right, I am only pregnant for probably three weeks or four," I said, it was a little confusing despite the glee this had caused me."Vampires develop in a month only," Hana said and I saw Mina hold her hand to stop her so she did and step back. "I am carrying a half-witch and a half-human not a vampire, Hana." I corrected her. "I'm sorry, madam Zil. Hana is very transparent with her emotion and everything that is in her head. We also thought the same, your child probably has vampire blood, if it does then you'd be giving birth anytime soon." I shook my head in disagreement. "Impossible.""Then that is not a problem, madam," Lara said and dismissed the two girls. I was about to lose my patience, and salute Lara's empathy and felt that I was on the verge of spitting fire. I bear no Vampire."Ah!" I suddenly felt sore in my stomach. "Are you
Chapter 11: Little Blood SuckerShe blinked twice and I saw how her eye changed. It went red and became brown again. "Are you still hungry?" I softly asked and my finger made its way to her cheek. I chucked when she held my finger. "Aw!" I squealed when she suddenly bit it. I pulled it away and she started crying. "No, you had enough," I said and I looked at Lara who was confused too. "She's still hungry, I guess." She said and was about to get another bag of blood. "I said no, you had enough," I said when she tried to catch my hand again. She started crying uncontrollably and it was suffocating for me. I was torn between letting her drink my blood or disciplining her. Lara came and gave me another bottle of blood. "She is still a baby, she needs that," Lara said. I gave it to her and Zaya pushed it away. I scooped her from bed and stood near the window. "Zaya, look, isn't it nice out there?" I asked and she stopped for a few seconds. She looked out there and her eyes we
Chapter 12: Nightmares in Her Eyes"Mom! Mom!" I pulled my blanket up to cover my face and rolled to the left. "Momma, come on." I heard her grunt in annoyance so I looked at her."It's too early, Zaya. What do you want?" I spoke half asleep."Aunt Hella called, and she is on her way here." My drowse shattered pulling me to sit up."Where's my phone?" Zaya handed it to me and I dialed her number. She picked it up in no time."Hey, bitch." I haven't heard her voice for a while. "What on earth has gotten in your mind? I thought you'd travel the world to move on." I said it was only a few months since we parted. "I can not miss seeing Zaya, she growing too fast. The last time I checked she should be in your womb by now. Did you cast a spell on her to fasten her growth? What the hell? I called and she said she's your daughter. How come she's already speaking-" I cut the line and my baby looked confused. She was looking at me with a serious face. She unfortunately looked like her father
