Those words rang clear through Josh. The revelation just as heart-lifting as the fact that Alex wasn’t dead. He really didn’t know which to be happy about more.
The silence stretched along for another solid minute, the news needing time to really sink in. Alex wasn’t dead, better yet there was a way to bring him back? All this news was almost dizzying.
“But I’ll need your help, Josh,” Amber said, suddenly all eyes focused onto him.
There was no questioning it, he would definitely help as much as he could. It’s the least he could do after Alex had literally thrown his life for him.
“Of course, I’ll do anything.”
Josh was determined, whatever it was that she had to offer, he was ready to accept.

The moon shone brightly in the pitch sky, a gust of wind cutting through them rendering Josh temporarily blind. He held onto the large sweater he wore, trying to warm himself even wit

“Where am I?” Josh’s voice echoed, his surrounding nothing but emptiness for as far as the eye could see. He clearly remembered drinking the tea but no memories of how he ended up in this place.He’d been walking for hours now, aimlessly moving about in the empty space. Maybe there was an intended destination? Or maybe he was supposed to stay in his spot cause if so then he’d lost it long ago.There weren’t really any instructions given to him so could he really be at fault?He was tempted to call out for the lady in hopes of getting some kind of heads up, maybe even a tutorial or something.“I’m finally here,” The lady said, proofing right in front of Josh who personally wasn’t a fan of jump scares.“My apologies, it's much harder to get into the body of such an important creature.”Important creature? Right. Alex was a pureblood, whatever that meant. At least he finall

The rain came pouring down onto the concrete sidewalks, the large droplets bashing against the window seal blurring out anything to be seen beyond. The sky had turned a bleak grey darkening the surroundings. Thunder rumbled loudly, lightning crashing every so often to coat everything in blinding white.Alex was seated in the small living room, scrolling through the few TV channels. Jamie was taking a nap along with their mum so he was the only one awake. The house was dark, the only light coming from their old model tv, the booming of thunder causing Alex to jump at times.A knock sounded at the door; Alex unsure if he had actually heard it. The rain was pouring so loud that he thought he’d heard wrong but the knock came again. Alex stood, unsure whether to check or not.Why would someone be at the door in this crazy weather and even if there was someone then why didn’t they use the doorbell? The only person that never used it was&helli

“Alex?” Josh called the emotions in his tone causing Alex to jolt awake.What was happening? Why was Josh looking straight at him and holding him up? Why could he move his tongue around and actually taste something even if it was the wretched morning breath?“You can see me?” Alex choked, the lack of moisture causing his voice to scratch at his throat. His fingers twitched slightly, getting him to look down at them, the shock finally setting in.I have hands!Whilst still staring down at his bony fingers, Josh had managed to retrieve a glass of water, passing it to Alex who stared at it, his gaze bewildered. He then looked up at Josh who slowly had a smile spreading onto his face.The glass of water looked so tempting, his mouth calling out for any liquid but alas his hands sat on his lap, utterly useless. He couldn’t even communicate his problem to Josh since his voice had no vigor.Despite that, he co

Josh sniffled, the sound the only thing to cut through the awkward silence floating about in the room. Alex was minding his own business; glad he had the bowl of soup in his hands to keep him from sitting idle. Although it didn’t do much to simmer the tense atmosphere.Xavier stood in the corner of the room, back against the wall, eyes piercing into Alex’s soul all whilst the person in question played a blind man. Josh on the other hand looked to combust at any second, the laughter held within making itself known at times only to be covered up by a few measly coughs.Really Alex wished the soup would never finish cause one, it deflected him from even more awkward, and two, it was fucking delicious as expected. But alas, he could only scoop so much of the drops with the spoon before Josh flew to grab the bowl and was out like the flash.Top ten betrayals right there.Now Alex had nothing to do but stare at his hands, his feet shifting uncomfort

Taking a shower never felt so amazing. Having been restricted to a bed for several weeks has really brought a new sense of appreciation for a lot of things. Like hot showers, Alex already greatly appreciated them but it’s definitely been doubled. Also, how he’s able to walk, walking feels amazing and so is standing.Alex turned the faucet stopping the flow of water, sighing a bit, wishing he could stay there for a bit more but it’s been hours and his fingers were long past the pruning stage. Josh was also kind enough to make him something to eat as a tribute for the assholery portrayed earlier.Alex stepped out of the shower, the freezing air beating at his exposed skin, a shiver snaking way into his body. He grabbed the towel hanging not too far before wrapping it around himself and moving to the sinks.He let out yet another sigh, really feeling good. God moving felt so fucking nice. He took his hand through his wettened strands, enjoying the

Alaster wasn’t lying when he said that Alex would actually start training. However, Alex hadn’t received the memo that it’d start at four in the morning! The sun wasn’t even up, yet there Amber was, looming over his drunken form laying comfortably on the couch. “Rise and shine,” She said, Alex blinking multiple times, gazing at her in disbelief. Rise and shine? Rise and shine! There wasn’t even any sun! Alex could barely comprehend if it were even morning. Amber didn’t seem to back down even after the many times Alex tried to delete her presence entirely, hopefully trying to resume his sleep. He didn’t sign up for this shit, no fucking way. Not even school forced them up this early. Amber sighed, Alex hoping he’d achieved victory. Her footsteps loudly shuffled away and just before Alex could sink in anymore, her voice boomed in his head, scaring away all his sleep. “It’d be a shame if Xavier knew.” Oh, the smugness in her tone just sent Alex on edge,
Love Bites chapter 33
One, two ten times was Alex thrown to the ground, his back having numbed from both the cold and all the force he had to take. What part of the training was this? This was just blatant bullying. And it didn’t help that Amber was the one to inflict this torture. At least if it were Bianca then he’d understand seeing as they obviously had some bad chemistry but Amber… She was supposed to be the nice one.Alex pulled himself up for the hundredth if not thousandth time now, honestly, he’s just lost, count. He held onto his aching arm, staring at amber with hooded eyes as she stood there. Deathly still.The deal was that he was supposed to tag her at least once. This was to test his skills or some shit but then again, this was just harassment. They were vampires, even if he were Usain bolt, there was no way he’d get a finger on her.She did say she wouldn’t use her vampire powers. As if he’d believe that bullshit. Since they&
Love Bites chapter 34
Stalking out the toilet still feeling like utter dog shit, Alex let out a yawn, peering up at Luca who, just, wow. He really knew how to make a man wish for death.Since arriving in this madman-infested slaughterhouse, Alex only ever came to know of Amber’s powers but now Luca has decided to introduce his and god was it an annoying one.The sheer pain Alex felt when waking up to the sight of Xavier angrily peering down at him like he was no different from that rogue vampire was enough to give one nightmares. And that’s exactly what Alex had to go through when he’d woken up, still too dazed to realize he was actually awake.Even after fully waking himself, he was frozen to the couch, the intensity of the spiteful stare again, summoning hell on earth for Alex. It was not until he heard glass shatter that he saw Luca standing there, smiling like all was well whilst Alex was just about to start panicking.“Wah—" Alex mumbled out,
