AZALEA~
~NEXT MORNING~
I woke up with a jolt, as I found myself in the middle of a wide bed alone and half naked. Panic surged as I instinctively throw the sheets over myself as If they could shield me from whatever it was.
My eyes had easily adjusted to the dim lighting of the room and I scanned the room, it was ancient and old school. The wall tells the same story as the tapestries hung on the wall like museum pieces. I mean who keeps an old Mona Lisa painting in the bedroom?
My memory was hazy as fog, my mind was blank and I couldn’t remember anything despite the aches that I felt in my groin.
I haven’t processed anything when the door creaked open and a man walked in majestically like a king. I coiled into the duvet more, and he stopped by the bedside looking at me strangely.
I was also surprised mesmerized by this man standing before me looking like a demi god. Those golden eyes, tall frame and strong build is something any average girl could die for, but it scares me.
Who is this man?
The more I tried to remember where I’d seen him from, the hazier my mind became, making my mind thump with panic.
“Em.. who.. who are you?” I asked slowly.
A gentle smile broke from his lips as he tossed a blue dress at me, “You’re just as beautiful as you were in those days. If I had known you’re close to me, i’ll have come to snatch you from the day you’re born again” he said in a cool and serene voice unfit for such a personality.
I threw the dress back at him as I barked, “Get away from me! Who are you, and where have you brought me?”
His smiling face changed into a narrow, predatory expression something eerie and inhumane.
My heart rushed to my mouth.
Unexpectedly, he landed on me, knocking the breath from my lungs, his chest facing my bare own, making me feel unnecessarily hot and wanting. But wasn’t a fantasy, It was real fuckin real!
“Who are you?” I asked trying to be brave.
“Your Mate, Your Master and the one who owns your soul” He said in a deep husky voice that doesn’t match the cool one earlier.
Fear gripped my heart as I breathed heavily, did I just get kidnapped? Or what is this man talking about? “Just tell me who the fuck you are and take me back to my home!” I snapped, twisting beneath him trying to get away from his grip.
“It’s normal you don’t remember. Not many people remember after their first time” He whispered again with a smirk that seems to have more sinister beneath it.
“Scoundrel! Is this the new tactic to catch innocent girls like me? Get off me now!!”
I quipped, still trying to get away from him.
Being under his like is so scary and fearful. The feel of his hot body close to mine, this strange bedroom, his strange words damn! I just have to get away from this place. It screams trouble but I don’t know what it was.
His aura feels too dangerous for me to be too safe, he grabbed my jaws forcefully and made me face his sharp gaze, “You have no idea how long I’ve waited for this day sweet mate. Don’t force it, you belong here to me!”
My chest thumped! I belong here and to him? “M…. Mate?” I asked slowly.
“Your blood is the most sweetest I’ve tasted over the years. None tasted like it since you left years ago” he said again adding to the suspense.
But despite the suspense, the fog in mind was slowly dissipating as the pieces was coming together. Old room golden eyes that shines mate taste of blood…
“I never thought I’ll ever see my bite marks on you in this lifetime after I’ve waited for more than a millennium in vain” He said again tracing my neck with his slender fingers that made me completely numb under him, “But as expected of the woman I was destined to protect and love all my life, it looks good on you that I wished I could suck you up at this very moment”
I didn’t react. I don’t understand a thing but I waited and he was looking at me not breaking the eye contact until I remembered that I was still trapped under this man.
Using this opportunity of his golden silence, I pushed him away and managed to stand on my feet.
He grabbed my hand immediately and stopped me from moving. I looked at him with fear. What if he wants to kill me? He’d said it that my blood tastes good, what if… What if….
Suddenly my eyes landed on a dagger beside the table lamp. Summoning another strange courage, I pushed him and quickly grabbed the dagger.
“As expected, you’re very fast and eloquent with your movements, maybe that’s why the goddess promised me of your reincarnation” He said again putting another suspense in my heart so much that I yelled.
“Stop!!” I looked into those eyes even though the fear of them was gnawing at my bravado, I continued, “Stop! Tell me what you are, why are you this to me just say something!!!”
“Heavens know I can never let you go” he said in bare whispers again, “Waiting in celibacy all these days, I know the goddess is not gonna give me a walkie talkie as a mate”
These words only anger me the more. My grip on the dagger tightened, I wasn’t thinking I don’t want to think, I only want to get away from this strange man. My hand moved before my mind did, and as if I was propelled by something greater than me, I stabbed his heart!
“Argh!” He yelled in pain.
I dropped the knife with bated breathe, I… I can’t be a murderer, I can’t be, I don’t know with what speed I used to quickly exit the room towards the restroom.
My sanity was at stake as I washed my hand hurriedly, my brain was spinning and my heartbeat rate was at 360° Celsius as I can’t just make a thing out of everything that’s happening.
I breathlessly looked up to the mirror, and my eyes traveled to the side he’d traced just now and I saw those marks.
All of a sudden, as if the arch closing a big gate was lifted, the fog in my hazy mind lifted and everything came together and became one…
Hospital hallway. Fangs. Blood. Biting. O God. The Kissing smooching squirting!!!
Damn!! It’s him. The man that bite me at the hospital it's him, the one that I slept with.
He... He... He’s not human!
Old house mates He’s a Vampire!!!
I don’t know what force I used as I ran madly out of the house.
Nothing made sense, I was loosing my damn mind absolutely.
I have to go see Daffy get to class do Poppy’s assignments.
Sitting in the subway bus, I bit my hands trying to assure myself that everything will be fine, but nothing is going to be fine.
His scream when I stabbed him keeps echoing in my mind.
“I killed someone…. I just murdered a vampire!!”
AZALEA~Daffy was having his meal when I rushed in like a mad creature. Relief plunged me as I hugged him tightly.I’m so happy he’s alive. I’m so happy he’s fine or how else should I continue to live my life without him?“Sis” He tapped my back and I released him. “Why are you crying? Is this my first surgery?”I beat his back lightly, “Did you know how worried I was? I thought something must’ve happened you I”My voice caught in my throat and guilt enveloped me. A flash of that man’s cold, intense eyes invaded my mind. Fear tightened its grip around my heart, *Were you worrying about him when you had a crazy sex with that man you just killed?* My mind ask but I can’t answer.“Lea!” Daffy snapped to my face jerking me awake. I have been hallucinating. How on earth can I get that man out of my brain.I groaned. Daffy looked at me with a strange expression, “Lea what happened to you?”I quickly composed myself, I can’t get Daffy worrying about me when he’s the one with heart disease, “
EDWIN’S POVI had to fall down and pretended like I was dead, just to satisfy her.Immediately I heard the front door opened, which means she’s gone, I got back to my feet and picked the gown she’d turned down.Getting back to my living room, I met another vampire sitting there, sipping wine as if it was their home.“Who gave you the authority to waltz in here any how? Old man?”Hale Vancleff, the high priest of the whole vampire clan stood up and approached me, “You smell so new. What kind of guest did you host?”I rolled my eyes as I sank into the sofa and tossed the gown aside. “Did I need to tell you everything about where I go and who I see?”He sat beside me and took his cup again, “I came to pick something at the cementary, so I thought of branching here to say a hello”I manage to mumble, but my mind is on my mate.I didn’t get to ask what her name was, and I wonder if I’ll get to see her again.Last night, as a guardian vampire whose task was to eliminate any prisoner that es

AZALEA~I blinked. This is not a movie or a showbiz right?I was at the hospital hallway just now witnessing how a man successfully take down two patients now I… I’m being cuddle like a baby in strong muscular arms, surrounded by thick sheets and halloween themed chandelier that sends spikes of fear to my heart.How I teleport from the hospital garden to this place is shocking and I fail to understand, what law of nature it is.My body trembles in shock. I’m afraid. But there’s something else aside from Fear and shock…. Desire!No. This is not making any sense! This man bit me, bring me to this strange place, but why is my body aching for him?Cracking my voice, I begin, “Where… Where am I?”The man’s eyes flicker and his glowing golden cat eyes came on as if a switch is being pulled.I recoil back immediately breaking free from his embrace.No. I try to reassure myself that it’s not real but it’s real fuckin and terrifyingly real.My fingers travels to my neck and I feel some pain th
AZALEA~“Daffy had another heart attack”I stand frozen on the sidewalk, the doctor’s voice echoing in my ear. Daffodil again? The pain rises to my chest, but there’s no time to cry. I end the call and pocket my phone before sprinting towards the subway. I can’t lose Daffy. No.My phone rings again and I quickly pick it up, thinking it’s the doctor but it’s Poppy, my sister. “Where on earth are you, Lea? Have you forgotten I have to hand in my assignment before the next class?” she barks like she always does.“I can’t!” I snap breathlessly. “The doctor just called, Daffy had a heart attack again. I have to…..” My voice cracks. “Poppy, I have to be there for him, please” “Who cares if that sickle – celled kid dies, Huh?” Poppy cuts in venomously, “Come back to school right now before the next class or else I’ll….”I hang up before she can finish whatever she wants to say.No one else is going to stay with Daffy if I don’t. Mum died last spring, Dad died years ago bringing Daffy’s
