Chapter 12: Relief
Cigarettes and opium perfumed the place. Albert entered. His eyes wandered through the room scanning for familiar faces.
The Night Children were there. He was not aware of the place until Kristina revealed the place. It was a three-floor house. On the first floor, the dining tables were found. Dinner was served and Monica, the cook, just finished with the dishes.
“Hello, Albert,” she greeted him. “Looking for her?”
“Is she here?” he smiled. Across the room, three had been a few diners. “Not so busy today?”
“Nah,” Monica replied. “The Hunt is over and most of Night Children returned to the city. It’s more comfortable there than living here.”

The Lost Angel: Pilgrims Chapter 13: Dimensions
“Welcome, sister,” Miranda embraced her and then kissed her on the cheeks as a symbol of acceptance. “This is the Temple.”“Incredible!” Kristina commented after Miranda released her on her casual hug. “You managed to keep this place so hidden from Albert.”“A girl has to live,” Miranda took her on the arms. “Come. Let us take a walk.”Kristina followed her lead. “So tell me, Miranda. What odds can you think of breaking the veil?”Miranda smiled. Her silver hair was braided in a queenly manner. Her skin pale shone just like all the other vampires. Compared to Kristina, she’s almost a white shadow.“The veil will break in its own time. Someone already has the Ring of Darkness. A command is all what we are waiting.”“Who has it?”“No idea,” Miranda cued her to enter the Garden. The Temp
The Lost Angel: Pilgrims Chapter 14: When the time is right
She’s a Time Traveler. Time was her only specialty. But now she had no knowledge of how long she was caged there. Days? Months? Years? Millennia? She had no idea.She had tried to break the walls of her circle but it was the strongest she had encountered. No magic could defy time. It was a Master on its own.She’s tired and now; she’s on the verge of giving up.“You become so weak,” a voice said. “I know,” she replied without looking. She had visitors though she could not tell how often. Time had no meaning there.“You lost your interest in the world or even living the best.”“I can’t even get out of this cage!” Elena screamed. She’d been furious. This visitor came just to slap what she’s got so badly. Then, there she was again. She saw the little girl with the red hood and ponytail.“You can talk to people outside your cage. You are a traveler,” the little girl said.“Who are you?”“That’
The Lost Angel: Pilgrims Chapter 15: To belong
They left just after the ambush - after she just offered to lead some of those in the campsite out of the forest. She abandoned them in the tavern to be meat of hungry demon children.Albert command was that they would provide protection to those in the camp - not for those who left. Kristina could not stop to be amazed how vampires could manage the truth. She found them too clever and now she felt so foolish on not even looking for loopholes on a Constants command.After her brief tour with Miranda, it was the first time she understood some things. For the first time, she began to question herself. Right then, she was renewed. Her faith was restored.The taverns tenants were so happy of the fresh meat and blood. They did not hunt for humans if it was not the Hunt. However, they could not deny offered food. That’s how Vampires created their traps. Unlike the Night Children under Albert’s, they made traps like wha
The Lost Angel: Pilgrims Chapter 16: Betrayed
He knew he was scaring them all - the Night Children and those stranded humans. It was several nights ago since the howling destroyed the peace of the forest. He could control himself but after that specific betrayal, his urges tempted him so madly. He had to roam or else he had to hunt. The latter was highly not on season yet.He gathered all the Night Children. It would be the Hunt on the coming three days but he made a special call to those who were not yet damned."Kristina's damned!"To those who could understand it, the news scattered all throughout the forest. Albert never doubted it reached the Vampire Queen. That's not a wonder even - vampires were magical reporters. They would know it even without or even before the announcement.The t
The Lost Angel: Pilgrims Chapter 17: Suicidal
"So, tell me, why you talked like you don't know me?" Joy asked. "And, what do you mean about me as a channel?""It's just a new concept to me. I read it on some books on Time Traveling. I never tested it before," Elena admitted. "Glad it works.""So, it was a suicide plan?" Joy asked. "If it did not work, you just sent me to some stranger with your face who does not have any hint of compassion?""Dying in Challenge is suicidal," Elena defended. "At least, I have a plan."They were surrounded by a great nothingness except by the glory of the scattered fragments of all the exploded and destroyed planets and dimensions in space. Back on Earth, these remains shone as an illusion. It happened that a chemical reaction in the atmosphere made these rocks and stones shone in glory where in fact space had unimaginable temperature - extreme cold on the other side of the planet and extreme hot when the sun hit the skin."Right. But how come you became
The Lost Angel: Pilgrims Chapter 18: Key of Longing
The hunt excited all of the Night Children - especially this one. Though Albert could not tell why he still didn't care. What mattered was that he was angry and he could throw things and wreak havoc on the forest.Several tourists might have noticed the gloom in there that some took their senses in good care and went home. Ray told him that he was too busy preparing the Night Children for their feast and that he was always forgetting the midnight of the Hunt - there was a Duel challenged to him by Miranda."I am wondering how do you prepare?" Ray asked Albert. There was no tavern already. The vampires took possession of it like they were entitled to the place when Kristina betrayed him - when she betrayed them."I will fight her to the death," Albert replied. "Vampires would no way lead the Night Children.""You are an immortal.""You know things about Constants?""A two or three.""A Constant can only be
The Lost Angel: Pilgrims Chapter 19: The Waiting
The Reign was hers. Albert disappointed his people after proclaiming his intent on dueling Miranda - and it was Kristina who had changed her mind.A woman.Starting there, events were about change. This was the point when no one could tell what's next to happen. This was the point which Miranda prepared so much.The killings were disgusting and she did not wish on repeating all the gruesome bloodshed all over again so she might retain her memory - hers and all those who damned their souls for trusting her.The Hunt would soon start and Albert never showed up. Kristina was standing beside her and though she told nothing about talking with Albert, it was unnecessary. Miranda smiled. Kristina lied to Albert. Lied. Kristina, the Night Cat showed her devotion to the plan and it was all that mattered. Things, from there, would start to be interesting and she was excited to see the Phoenix - who the hell she was. It did n
The Lost Angel: Pilgrims Chapter 20: Unknown quarters
The Hunt was in full bloom and he could hear the raging that ran the forest. From now, he's free and Miranda replaced him as the Constant. Miranda should make sure to do the obligations.One more thing, he's Damned - like Kristina. Where was she?Ray was in the form of little Mark and he looked at the little young man who conveyed unspoken languages. Mark was waiting and he must be sure what would happen next. There was a lifetime when all these things happened like clockwork. Sirens were the most secretive beings. They were right to be so. It's a strange thing to protect knowledge so diverse and huge. It could shake worlds, beliefs and whatsoever.Betty finished packing the herbs to her bag. A petal of the Sirens tears was covered in a very thin cloth and she secured it inside her patch, separate from the others which she broiled. Philip entered the made-up tent and announced his preparation."I have
