"What... did he say?" he queried, enunciating his words with difficulty. Surely, it must be a jest, he countered inwardly. Was his day not already fraught with enough tribulations? Perhaps it was another Dahioh he had referred to when he mentioned having to attend to matters at his institution of learning. The principal named Sak scowled at the anxiety of one of the finest pupils he had ever taught. "May I ask if thou art acquainted with her?" "No..." he replied, casting a fleeting glance at Rebekah, who was whispering to him, inquiring about the situation. "No, sir," he coughed. "I do not know her. But... may I be permitted to use the lavatory?" "After the new student arrives," the principal retorted, and Elijah persisted. "Very well," he acceded, with a resigned air. "Go ahead and do not tarry," he added, and Elijah rose from his seat and exited the classroom. Being outside he walked straight to the rectory looking out of the window at the girl who seemed to be talking animatedl
Last Vampire. 23. Strange....
He was never given the opportunity to introduce them. Fox bolted away without a word, and Za's eyes were vacant, leaving him to wonder if his friend had recognized the woman from a photograph. He dismissed the thought immediately, as there were very few clear pictures of the woman, and the ones that existed were either held by the now-retired librarian or by himself. He stood before Za, waving his hand in front of her to grab her attention. "Is something the matter?" inquired the snowy-haired man. "I have to find Melia," she evaded the question, beginning to walk away. Elijah paused for a moment before following him. Za seemed different now, almost anxious. Why the sudden change? Why did the sight of Fox affect her so deeply? No, he told himself, it couldn't be that. It was something much more complicated, much further away. "Do you have any idea where Melia might be?" she asked Elijah, who shook his head. "I have to speak with her, I have to... I saw her! I saw her!" she exclaimed
Last Vampire. 24. What The Hell....
I was starting to wonder if it would be wrong to do the same thing to Jahjah that they did to Judas. Would that be wrong? Because if it is, then all the more reason for me to do it. I was getting irritated with him. Every time I said something that I knew was true and he wanted to deny it, he would argue back. He was really getting on my nerves. Ever since I met him, he's been a pain. His brow furrowed, his nose wrinkled, and his deep voice demanded a response. To be honest, it was the only time I could hear a hint of manliness in his voice. Although, on second thought, not even when he's angry does it come out. Should I tell him that? That I think his voice lacks masculinity? I swear I'm going to do it. - March 1, on what would be another day where I make life miserable for the blondie. After class ended and the break began, the twins were on campus with their friends talking to the rest of the students about the new girl in their class. Practically everyone in the school, including
Last Vampire. 25. Choking...
"Okay, will you guys please be quiet?" Elijah asked his brothers, annoyed by their conversation in the back of their father's car, where the main topic was Dahioh. His brothers fell silent and gave him a dirty look that he could see in the rearview mirror. "It's like they've never seen a girl before. I'm sick of hearing about Dahioh," he said, opening his notebook and feeling his father's gaze on him. He turned to him and asked, "What?" "What's the matter with you?" his father asked. "I'm just sick and tired of my brothers talking about Dahioh," Elijah replied. "That's all." "Jealous?" Sam asked. Elijah sighed and closed his eyes. "Don't flatter yourself, little brother. I can assure you that Dahioh prefers a different kind of masculine style, and you and Robert are nowhere near it," he said, smiling briefly before stopping abruptly. The twins were left speechless. They were offended by what their brother had said, and they didn't expect it. It was evident in their faces and even
Last Vampire. 26. No can be....
He was consumed by a flood of emotions - sadness, hatred, anger, and disappointment - followed by a sense of relief and peace since he hadn't heard from Melia since that day. Days passed and he felt worse than ever. Jackson Park continued to torment him, and he couldn't take his frustrations out on Melia like he wanted to. So he looked for a shortcut - he turned to watching snow movies. Rebekah and Fox ignored him more than he had expected. It hurt him deeply. He understood Rebekah's neutral tone when she told him to stay away, and he stopped trying to seek further explanation. But when he realized that Fox was also ignoring him, it made him feel even worse. He had thought that, as Fox had said, he wouldn't stop being with him, but that was not the case. On top of everything, he had to endure incessant questioning from his parents and siblings about the mark on his neck, which he couldn't cover no matter how hard he tried. It was indeed the mark of anger - a reminder of his rage an
Last Vampire. 27. Help....
My level of anger overpowered any pure feeling I've ever felt. Every fiber of my being screamed for revenge, to make him feel what he made me feel. To hurt him worse than he's ever been hurt. To feel what I felt at his words, at how cold and little he cared about making me feel what I perfectly know I am.My body was filled with such impure, evil adrenaline that all the thousands of demons surrounding me were afraid of me. I was afraid of myself.A fear that turned into complete satisfaction when I finished what I said I would do to him if I didn't do it to him, I would do it to someone else. And that someone else would be the one he cared about the most. That he would now feel what I feel every day of my existence.That he would encompass the pain, guilt, and all negative feelings for not living before judging. - Another day where every moment, I continue to be who I am. The hours passed slowly. Elijah was in the school infirmary with his brothers who, upon seeing him faint, called o
Last Vampire. 28. See you again...
The investigation into what had happened to student Helena Chantai at London's main institute remained unresolved, despite weeks of arduous efforts. During this time, the entire institute was in mourning, and Elijah did not attend classes. Everyone was still reeling from the shock of what had transpired. Helena's parents were inconsolable, consumed by both grief and anger towards the unknown assailant who had taken their only daughter from them. Despite the passage of time, no fixed date had been set for the resumption of classes. The teachers were still affected by what had happened to Helena, and their minds were not focused on teaching. The only thing the students knew was that Helena's body still remained in the morgue. Her parents refused to lay her to rest until they could find some indication of who was responsible for her death. The morgue staff had conducted numerous studies, but so far there was no trace of who had committed the heinous act. This only added to their despe
Last Vampire. 29. I hate you!
A few meters from the intertwined trees signaling their approach to the grand mansion, a female voice interrupted Za and Elijah's conversation. They turned around to see Melia, holding a packet of fried foods in her right hand, which she proceeded to consume. She was wearing a dark blue long-necked blouse under her coat, with her hair styled perfectly, suggesting she had just come from a beauty salon. Za smiled and ran towards her, hugging her tightly. "Where have you been?" She asked with a hint of concern. "I was really scared. I thought you had gone away never to come back, or that you..." "You know perfectly well that even if I wanted to do it, someone wouldn't let me," Melia interrupted her. "And I'm fine." Za hugged her tighter, causing her to lose her breath a little. "Za, you're squeezing me." Za laughed and let go of her, kissing her cheek and forehead. Melia was unsure how to respond to his affection, but deep down, she appreciated that Za was looking out for her. As they
