SCARLETT. Bianca had a vampire bite on the side of her neck but she did not remember anything that had happened prior. However, I did not need her to tell me what had happened. I knew it was Khan, threatening me. He wanted me to sleep with him again to save my friend. “The bite is barely a scratch, you don't have to worry. She is going to be fine.” Nurse Nora tapped my arm and I nodded. Nurse Nora walked out, leaving Bianca and me alone. “Are you crying?” Bianca raised her brows and I quickly shook my head before blinking my eyes many times to stop my tears from falling.“Can you stop hanging out with Scott, he was the one that led you to this accident.” I frowned. Earlier, I remembered where I met Scott, he was the same man who followed Khan everywhere back in the city. Now I knew why the strange guy was involved with my best friend. “Why? He was the one who saved me.” She tried sitting up, hoping to buttress her point but pain stopped her. “Easy...” I sighed, helping her b
SCARLETT. I hadn't seen Khan in three days since the locker room incident. I was shocked to see him resting against my car with an emotionless expression on his face. He was staring into space with a Tesla car key sitting in one hand. He folded his hand over his chest and one leg crossed on the front. Some nurses walked past him and they whispered to each other while admiring him. He was standing in front of my car yet they had their eyes on him. “You seem to be a distraction in my workplace.” I got to him with a frown wrapping up my face. “You shouldn't be here,” I added, staring at his mildly exposed chest. He wore a black shirt and pants that clung to his perfect body. Did vampirism come with some doze of hotness?! “Your expression says the opposite. I think you missed me.” He smirked, standing straight and stepping closer. I rolled my eyes. “I didn't see you for three days and you wouldn't believe the amount of peace I had.” I scowled, heading to get in my car. “Wow, an
KHAN. Suddenly, Scott ran up to the basement room, he was screaming and dusting invisible things off his body. I almost laughed at the awkwardness. He was jumping, and sprawling around. “What the fuck!” I chuckled. He was flying about until a cockroach came out of his pants. My eyes went wide before the laughter I had been trying to control fell out of my mouth. “What the hell?!” I laughed loudly, the sound coming out of my mouth felt strange. When this feeling came over me, I stopped. It had been so long that I laughed this way. Memories from the past flood in my head reminding me of who I used to be. At the same time, I had completely forgotten who I was before all of this. “I told you to get cleaners for the basement. This is your family house, you should care for it at least!” Scott groaned. “You insisted on cleaning it, I just wanted to dump the men in there and leave!” I rolled my eyes and looked back at the two guys on the floor. They were in the room before the living
SCARLETT. I opened my eyes and he was gone. I looked around expecting to see a belonging of his but it wasn't in the room either. Did he leave me without fulfilling his promise? No. He wouldn't do that to me. I quickly put on my dress and rushed out of the hotel. Then I hailed a cab which took me to the hospital. My mom was in this hospital and she was sick with cancer. Khan had promised to heal her if I slept with him. Yes, I lost my first time to a vampire because I wanted him to heal my mother with his blood. I dashed into the room and saw my mother sitting up on the bed and eating cereal. My eyes watered seeing her sit for the first time in two months. She had been in pain and wasn't able to eat through her mouth. It was such a relief seeing her like this. “Mom,” I called and rushed to her. Once she sighted me, she smiled. And then she held my hand before pulling me toward herself. I buried my head in her chest and she gently lowered her head. “Why did you make a deal wit
KHAN. “The agency sent an email.” Scott's voice pierced my ears. I was in the car, planning my next target. The blood running in the neck of humans was tasty, especially the easy ones. The ones that feared death. The ones whose eyes were as bright as a rainbow. Who had the most beautiful family and life? Those ones who did not want to die because they were enjoying life more than the others. Yes, those were my target. “I need more information,” I said, stopping in the school cafeteria. I was at the city college, there I would find some sophomores. Girls with blue eyes and perfect skin. Sweet and gentle, popular amongst their peers. Worshiped by the mere student. The ones that enjoy the bliss of life. “Its a mother and daughter,” he answered. I paused. “Perfect.” And then I found her. She was exactly what I wanted. I stopped and watched her walk like a supermodel. She carried a designer bag, and her minions walked behind her as if they were being photographed. “Emmie, you look bea
SCARLETT. “You rejected him even after all the things he did for you. You have little qualifications as a nurse yet he told his parents to promote you every year. And what about me, he had helped me a lot. Did you forget what he did for Clara?” Bianca yelled in my ears. She was the one driving since I didn't bring my car today. Liam had proposed to me and I rejected him. I told him I wasn't ready, it wasn't a lie though. However, I couldn't bring myself to say yes to him. I had never imagined being his wife and doing all of the wife duties, it wasn't something I was prepared for. “Do you need to go to a culinary school? A school where they teach women how to be wives or something? You have such a great opportunity and you are tossing it off - boom - out the window and never coming back!” Bianca did an exploding sign, being all dramatic. I looked away, watching the bushes that were around this city. I saw why it was easy for the night crawlers to eat humans. It wasn't common tho
MANYON CITY....KHAN. “You should visit your mom now that you are in the city,” Scott uttered while I placed my gun on the window for the execution of my targets. Anytime soon, my target should be walking along with her kid. I usually used guns against my target, I did not like the blood of victims. Their taste would linger on my tongue giving me some memories of them. In the same way, I did not like to research my target, Scott did them and I killed them. I paused and then looked at Scott. “If you fucking make me miss my target, I would present your rotten and shitty dead body to the agency instead. Those motherfucker wanted you dead anyway.” I smirked and he surrendered, raising his hand in the air and looking away. Bianca, a twenty-five-year-old nurse. I wondered what she did to the agency that made them want her dead. Not kidnapped or drugged or swindled or framed but fucking dead with her daughter. I poured a ton of dark gum into my mouth before tossing the empty packet out t
SCARLETT. After my afternoon shift, I went home to get dressed for the meeting with Liam. By the time I got home, Bianca was getting ready for the night shift. “How was the parents meeting?” I asked while searching for something to wear in my closet. “It was good but...” She trailed off and then turned to me. “Do you notice anything strange about Clara lately?” She asked. I stopped and turned to her. “What?” I asked. “Did her teachers say anything?” I added. Bianca shrugged. “No, nothing you should be worried about,” Bianca answered, getting ready for work. “I am going to meet Liam, we are going to talk.” I sighed. “Are you going to break up? I heard Liam has sickle cell, do you think breaking his heart would affect his health?” Bianca asked, looking at me. This was one of the reasons I accepted Liam in my life. He was as fragile as an egg, I didn't want to hurt him. I didn't answer Bianca, rather I looked in my closet for something to wear. Soon, I was done and I arrive
