Lillian went back to her house. She went straight to her bedroom and, laying on the bed, she cried silently.Shadow came back a few hours later with food and drinks. He found her asleep on the bed. He put the food in the fridge for later and went to her.He crouched in front of her and saw that she had a deep, troubled frown on her forehead. He caressed her head and her frown eventually smoothened.“Why do you keep having nightmares?” He asked in a voice that was barely a whisper.He kissed her forehead and rested against his head on hers gently.Three days passed by and Lillian never left the room. Shadow slept in the spare room and gave her space, but what bothered him more was that she wasn’t eating at all. He put food in front of her, but she never touched it.Olivia came to check on her as well, but she talked to no one.Even Zack called, but she wouldn’t answer the phone. Instead, she turned her phone off
After that day, Lillian blocked Zack’s number and, since he didn’t know Olivia’s house, he didn’t know how to find her.She had a few days of peace before he eventually found out where Olivia’s house was. He waited outside all day and night for her to come out and explain what was wrong, but she never came out.Lillian looked outside the window of the apartment and saw that he was still there. She let out a frustrated sigh.Olivia looked at her from the sofa.“Is he still there?” Olivia asked her.She nodded, walking up to her.“He just won’t leave.” She told him, getting annoyed.“Let me handle him.” Olivia told her and walk out of the house.She went to Zack. He saw her coming towards him was and looked at her expectantly.“Can’t you just leave? She doesn’t want to see you or talk to you.” She told him, coming in front of hi
Lillian went back to the classroom to look for her phone and saw Shadow there. She avoided looking at him and looked for her phone where she sat during class.Shadow saw her searching for something.“What are you looking for?” He saw and walked towards her to help her.“My phone. I can’t find it.” She told him.He took out his phone to call on hers, but as soon as he turned his screen on, his phone died because he was out of battery.“Can you try calling it?” She asked him.“My phone just died.” He told her and helped her look for it.“You sure that you lost it here?” He asked her when he couldn’t find it.“Yeah. I took it out to search for a meaning.” She told him.They heard the door click and then suddenly the lights turned off.“Hey! Someone’s in here!” She said loudly.She walked towards the door but b
Shadow woke up the next day and found Lillian impatiently walking around the room. “What’s wrong?” He asked her, slowly getting up. She looks at him with a troubled look and bit her lower lip. “I need to pee.” She told him. Shadow tries opening the door, but it was still locked. “Can you hold it?” He asked her. “Barely.” She told him. He looked around, trying to find an exit, and realized that the windows could be opened. They were on the first floor so they could easily get out. Shadow got out first and then helped Lillian out. As soon as they were out, Lillian ran out and searched for a bathroom. She rushed to the campus’s bathroom. When she came out, Shadow saw the look of relief on her face and let out a laugh. They secretly went out of the campus because there were guards and it would look suspicious if they came out during the off time. Once they were outside, they walked to his mot
Zack walked around with shock and horror in his heart as he discovered the truth. No wonder no one was telling him the truth. His father, the vampire king, had killed her parents and was now after her life. After his mother died, Zack imprisoned himself inside his room and didn’t come out for years. He did not know that his father had abused his powers and slaughtered an entire kind. He was only told that they died from a plague. He never thought that his father could be so ruthless. He wanted to confront his father, but he was scared that Lillian would be in danger if he found out that she was the hybrid he was looking for. His legs felt weak, and he fell to his knees. He hid his face in his hands. ‘What should I do?’ he thought, feeling broken and lost. “I have an idea if you would like to hear.” Blake said, coming behind him. Zack looked back with pleading eyes. “I can make sure that she will remain safe and also your father
Shadow was chopping some vegetables in annoyance because he heard a man’s voice right before she ended the call, when he suddenly felt a little afraid. He reached into his pocket and was about to call her when his phone started ringing. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Lillian. He answered the call and was about to ask what was going on when he heard a man’s threatening voice. ‘What’s wrong?’ Ryan asked him in a serious tone through mind link. ‘I don’t know, but she’s in trouble.’ He told him as he tracked her phone’s location. ‘Damn it. She’s too far.’ ‘Run to her!’ Ryan exclaimed in fear. ‘Shut up! Let me think!’ he told him. ‘Something might happen in the if we waste more time!’ Ryan told him. ‘That’s it.’ Shadow told him, annoyed, and cut him off. He then called Olivia. “Weren’t you with Lily?” he asked her. “I was, but we went our separate ways. Why?” she asked him. “She’s in t
“You’re so mean to me! It’s not like I wanted to get raped!” She cried and hid her face under her hands. He felt bad now. He was just angry with himself that she got hurt and didn’t mean to upset her. Shadow got up and hugged her. “I’m sorry, my flower. I shouldn’t have taken out my anger on you.” He told her. “I was just so afraid of what was going to happen if I didn’t make it in time.” She hugged him and cried against his chest. “I was so afraid that he was…” she couldn’t complete her sentence and just cried. He understood what she wanted to say. “If he did, I would’ve ripped him to shreds.” He told her. He stayed like this for a while and when he heard the police sirens in the distance; he went away because he wouldn’t be able to explain how he got here. The police arrest James who was still knocked out on the ground. They took Lillian’s statement and then sent her to the hospital. Before Shadow left
They discharged Lillian the next day from the hospital, and she was now at home. She went to sleep after doing her work, so Shadow left to get some groceries. He was in the dairy aisle when he felt like he was being watched. He looked around, but there was no one who was looking at him, which made him frown. ‘Maybe it’s because there are a lot of people here.’ He thought. After getting everything he needed, he proceeded with the checkout and left. As he was putting the groceries, which he bought, inside the car when he again felt someone looking at him. He placed everything in the back seat and looked at the side mirror to see who it was, but again, it was no one. He looked around, but there was no one. He then suddenly felt fear in his heart and knew it was Lillian. He quickly drove to the house and called on her phone. But she wasn’t answering. ‘What’s going on?’ Ryan asked he
