Chapter 23
Blake heard a knock on his door which woke him from his sleep. He immediately got up.
"Who is it?" he yelled as he rubbed his eyes.
"It's me, are you still sleepy? Should I come in?" Veronica said behind the door. Blake couldn't hear her, he wasn't focusing. It seemed like something was blocking his ear that he couldn’t hear what Veronica was saying.
"Babe?" Veronica called but no one answered. "Hey, are you okay?" she asked.
"I'm coming in, okay?" she said but still no response.
Veronica thought he might still sleeping and she wanted to wake him up for breakfast.
Tsk... Tsk... Tsk...
Blake's eyes enlarged in horror the moment he heard his doorknob clicking. He hurried towards the door and shut it... Veronica was startled and taken aback. He was surprised that he left his door unlocked.
"You're too careless, Blake," he murmured to himself as he leaned his back on the door.

Chapter 24 Pocco chuckled awkwardly as he put back his gazes at Veronica. "That's a cool idea but... you know... I actually like a girl. Don't get me wrong, Evangeline is kind and most of all pretty, but I like another girl," he responded while Evangeline was still feeling sheepish. "Oh, is that so. I'm very sorry, I just hope we could have a double date. Anyway, we have to go," she said. "Should, I tag along?" Blake asked and Veronica grinned. "It's okay, babe. I and Evangeline will use my car. And I know you're busy, you should head to the Museum, I don't want to disturb your time. We'll be fine." "Are you sure?" Blake said. "Yes, babe. Don't worry, we'll see you after work," she said. "Alright, yes, but can we talk in private real quick?" he asked a favour and Veronica smiled at him. "Sure, let us excuse first," she said to Pocco and Evangeline. Pocc
Chapter 25"Relax! Relax! I'm just kidding, why are you that mad? Guilty?" he smirked.Blake bit his lower lip and tried to cool down his head as he stared at Pocco."Of course, not..." he groaned."Perfect, you say that okay? No turning back, I'm going to court Evangeline," he said as he tried to provoke Blake to spit out his annoyance."I thought you like Sheira?" he sharpened his eyes.Pocco shrugged his shoulders and sighed, "Well, yeah, but she likes you, and I know you know that clearly. She always seduces you, don't say you don't realize that?!"Blake looked up and thought about Sheira. He knew that Pocco was just stating the truth. Since the day he met Pocco and Sheira who were best friends and applied in the museum, he could feel how sticky does Sheira stared at him and how she always try to be alluring and seductive to impress him. He nodded and agreed to Pocco he said sorry about
Chapter 26"Pocco!" Sheira yelled as Pocco and Blake came to the museum together. She hugged him immediately and Pocco was tickling inside, he hugged her back and didn't let go of her for a long time. He was celebrating to feel her warm touch. Blake widened his eyes at Pocco, for he knew Pocco was taking advantage of the hug.Pocco smirked and let his tongue out and Blake couldn't hold his laugh. He chuckled and rolled his eyes as he thought how crazy his friend was."Gosh! How dare you for not answering my calls and messages!" Sheira exclaimed at Pocco.Pocco smiled a bit and winked at her, "Miss me, babe?"Sheira made a face and stepped back as she waved her hands a bit, "Ew! Babe? Stop that! My only babe here is..." she giggled and run near Blake and fastened her hands around Blake's masculine arm... "Him! So don't you dare call me that, okay. Gosh, babe? That's so much crazy, Pocco," she continued as she fan
CHAPTER 27While Pocco and Blake were heading downstairs, Pocco immediately noticed the girls at the edge of the building, near the exit. Observing Sheira's face he knew already that she was being mean with Veronica and Evangeline, he couldn't keep his chuckles by the thought of how Sheira felt insecure to see her rival, face to face."What's so funny?" Blake wondered as he glanced at him.Pocco shyly smile and said nothing, he then hurriedly walked downstairs and waved to the girls, "Hi, girls!" he yelled.The girls turned their eyes at him at the same time and smiled except Sheira who was rolling her eyes in annoyance but when she saw Blake her exasperated face shifted into a wide smile."Blake!" she said and encircled her arms around Blake.All of them were surprised, especially Veronica who was deeply feeling jealous and a bit mad by what she was doing, she could sense that she did
Chapter 28"Abu," called Zanea the moment the portal opened. Abu stared at him with an alarmed look on his face."Zanea? What are you doing here? You know angels were not allowed to wander here anytime they want, this place is for grim reapers. Once they found out we're both has to face a consequence and they might think that I am condoning you... Though I understand your worries but we have laws we should listen to," he said, followed by a deep sigh as he walked past him and later on the three souls followed after him.Zanea understood his words but he couldn't just help it."I'm sorry," he apologized, "But did you check on her?" Zanea asked making Abu to stared at him with widened eyes, gesturing him to be quiet.He didn't answer Zanea, he nodded to some of the grim reapers who came forward and cued them to take good care of the souls."Let's talk anywhere, not here," he said and hurriedly walke
Chapter 29"But can't we just let this slip? What if Evangeline and that vampire won't do anything to humans? We all know Evangeline and I'm sorry but I wanted to trust her as well, although I didn't want at first, but thinking about what happened, we all knew that the vampire only sucked human blood just once and it is not because he purposely did it for his own sake," Abu was trying to defend Evangeline.Kram was fretted by Abu's statement, he didn't want to let Abu think what he think was right. He wanted him to look at the bigger picture that could possibly happen. But there was more than that."You don't understand, Abu. It was fate!" Stephan stated."Fate?! What do you mean?" Zanea interrupted.Stephan looked at Kram and Kram nodded his head to him, allowing him to send the message."There is a prophecy," Stephan paused for a while and Abu could see the fear i
Chapter 30"Pocco? What the heck are you two doing?" he asked and Pocco immediately stood up and face his direction and Evangeline as well. He felt betrayed by his best friend. He wanted to confront him about why he kissed her but he couldn't do it, the fact that him and Evangeline were not in a relationship.Blake clenched his fists and Pocco caught a glimpse of it immediately, he was confused why Blake came off furious so suddenly."Are you alright?" he asked and Blake groaned."Nevermind me! If you want to go against my back, both of you should take a room and not here in my house where I can see you!" he said and he couldn't help but walk away.But he was taken aback when Pocco said, "What are you talking about? Why are you mad for nothing?"Blake felt an additional emotion, a twinge in his heart. He couldn't believe that Pocco was being innocent about what he must feel when he caugh
Chapter 31Pocco kept staring at Blake as they were discussing about the event that they would perform for next week. There were some newly found fossils that they would generate in the museum. They couldn't believe how did Blake found the fossils though he explained that he has the best professional palaeontologists, but the fact was, he knew where could they possibly find one, knowing that he lived more than a thousand years. Even if the lands were changed and it was already filled with buildings and grown trees and plants and others, he could still remember where they at."Blake, can we talk?" Pocco asked the moment that the meeting was wrapped up. Blake ignored him and smiled at one of the guests and talked to them until they reached the exit. He was walking the man in suit outside and assured him that he would be happy to see the fossils by next week.Pocco was restless to see how Blake was trying to ignore him the whole time and no matt
