I dropped the call and went around the convenience store to grab some water, snacks, and soda cans. I went to the cashier to pay for it and saw some newspapers displayed near the counter. I checked the publication date and it was published yesterday so I picked one and paid for it. The cashier thanked me and gave me the paper bag. I said my thanks as well and flipped open the newspaper. The headlines were all about the upcoming elections, revealing who among the candidates has a higher chance of winning it. Like a gamble, elections can be tricked and all these candidates wants is to win. I caught my eye on the incident that got me into this mess but so far, there are no new reports about it.When I got out of the store, I bumped into a kid. He was holding a lollipop and a crumpled bill in his other hand. He apologized then rushed inside the convenience store. I walked back to the car and Raverine opened the door for me. I threw the paper bag on the backseat and settled down back in th
Vampire on Fire Chapter 38 | Edge
I woke up when the road got bumpy. I looked out and saw some sheep, cattle, and goats grazing on the open meadows. Grasses are greener in these pastures. Some of the animals raised their head to look at the car passing by their land. They look at us like some alien invaders trespassing on their peace.I stretched my body a little bit and combed my hair using my hands. I turned my head towards Raverine who was silently driving the car. I heaved out a sigh. I want to drive the car so he could take a nap but he hasn’t told me where we are headed to. I leaned my head on the car window and looked out to the road.Huh, this road looks familiar, or rather, the atmosphere that I am feeling, the shape of the trees, and the landscape—all of it seems like a blurred memory, fading into the deepest corner of my mind. No matter, it feels nostalgic to see this kind of view. I miss my hometown where I learned that simple things have greater value. The land where we usually play almost looks like the

By nightfall, Raverine and I were done making sure the cabin was safe from ambush. Even with cyberattacks from our devices, Raverine always tries to close all the loopholes he could possibly close. It was as if Raverine moved his investigation room in this cabin within a few hours. If you look at the cabin from afar outside, the cabin doesn’t look occupied since the lights weren’t able to illuminate past the dimmed windows and doors. It was just a haunted cabin like when we came here.We stayed underground—in the basement—so it will keep the cabin unsuspicious to the outsiders. In the underground, there were rooms and there was much more space than in the cabin upstairs. The place was cozy, built for solace and isolation.Raverine and I talked about the history of Die Dark Clan and how it started as a group of slaves, frightened by the monarchs and military. Not until they finally ignited a rebellion to assassinate those who threatened them. Vampires were powerful but lack in manpower

I woke up and felt hungry when I smelled good food wafting around the place. I rubbed my face and caught a glimpse of Raverine’s back from the kitchen. He’s wearing an apron, probably making the breakfast that’s why the place smells like an expensive diner. I let out a low sigh and sit up straight on the couch, my eyes are still half-open.“Hey, morning,” Raverine greeted without turning around to face me.“Yeah, morning,” I replied, my voice is a little groggy.I yawned and stretched my body muscles before fixing my hair and opening my eyes completely. Once I was wide awake, a lot of papers scattered atop the small table stunned me. I grabbed a few of them and scanned their content. Most of the documents are the profiles of influential people and government officials. One document caught my attention and it’s the profile data of a presidential candidate this year. So, this person must be one of them, the vampires of Die Dark Clan. I heard Raverine coming towards me, so I placed the d

Nightmares, thunder, and rain. In my sleep, all that is happening is occurring in a fast motion—the past, the present, and even the future move in a blur. There’s no story to follow in this dream of mine, it’s not a nightmare either. All I can see is the red and blue lights flashing before my eyes and the long noise of police sirens wrecking my eardrums. The incoherent, indistinct words whispered to me as I asked around the people in my dreams. My eyes opened abruptly. I awoke, not because of the dream I had that I could vividly feel and remember, but at the sound of breathing—soft and warm. His skin brushed against my skin. He is cold, awfully cold that his body will soon start crystallizing. Raverine huffed, then buried his forehead in my shoulder.“You are so warm,” he mumbled and snuggled his body closer to me.His feet were dangling on the other side of the sofa and his upper body managed to steal a good space, pushing me to sink deep into the cushion.“Get the fuck off of me,” I
Vampire on Fire Chapter 42 | Frenemy
Ember rushed to meet K from the gate and prepared herself to dodge K’s attack in case K threw a fit at her and blew her with a punch in the stomach—she would think she deserved half of the pain though. K is leaning against her dark blue motorbike while chewing something. A celery? Ember questioned in her mind. It is indeed a celery that K has been chewing to calm her. K’s brows have never been buried into her glabella and her arms are tightly crossed beneath her chest. K approached Ember and spit the celery before Ember could come closer to her.Both of the sisters greeted each other with a tight hug. K patted Ember’s back and pulled her out of the embrace to get a better look at her face. Ember heaved out a sigh of relief.“I thought I could call you ‘sister’, but it’s better to use the ‘little sister’ once more. How careless were you, this time?” K began to berate Ember. “I would’ve understood if you got into a bloody fight but to drag the family into your mess. Ember, I taught you

“Let’s reel back from the start,” K said, crossed her arms, and leaned back on the couch.The rustle of leaves blown by the wind outside the cabin gently laid to silence. The cabin turned into a vacuum for a little while, waiting for something to happen. Raverine ducked his head and rubbed his nape. Ember was the first to move and utter a word.“Before this web of tail-chasing and mask-hunting events, our department was bombarded with cases of missing persons and smuggling. You know that K, right?”K gave a subtle nod. “That’s why I told you that the smuggling cases weren’t transacted through the city, but it could be somewhere in the desert mountains.”“Yeah,” Ember continued, “Most of these cases went cold and if we look closely, there’s a similar pattern in demographics and location in these cases. I wanted to resolve it properly so I weaved all the pieces of information from these cold cases which even led me back to the illegal smuggling cases I handled. Eventually, I picked up t
Vampire on Fire Chapter 44 | Frantic
“Raver? Are you nuts? What’s going on? Why did you leave Hiro and your team here all by themselves, working their asses and having to face Calil’s nuisance.”Raverine was too stunned to speak. He pressed the bridge of his nose and tightened his hold on his phone. All he could do was groan over the phone, frustration flooded his mind and there was no way of getting it all out immediately. Why, out of the blue, would Calil visit the restaurant—Raverine mumbled to himself—Calil has never been the one to publicize his hate toward his enemies, not even toward Raverine. Throughout his existence, that double-faced son of the Devil will never reveal his dark side to the public to keep his hands clean. Raverine knew something was wrong with Calil’s actions. Diego scoffed and went on to blame Raverine for what happened to his management and the restaurant. Although the after-effect of Calil’s actions has yet to spur the mass media and vampires of all kinds, Diego is worried about the next time
